CLEVELAND, Ohio -- Los Angeles Clippers owner Donald Sterling has fouled out of the NBA permanently for his racist rants caught one tape. But as Utah rancher Cliven Bundy has shown, they're plenty of racists still dribbling hatred from their lips and shooting air balls full of ignorance on America's court.
Sterling's mask, of an elderly billionaire real estate mogul and NBA owner, was yanked off last week, revealing a KKK hood and old south plantation owner's mentality, to national exposure and repulsion.
In the course of an NBA investigation, Sterling confirmed that it was his voice heard ranting racist remarks on phone recordings made public. After confirming the authenticity of the tapes, NBA Commissioner Adam Silver banned Sterling for life from the NBA and vowed to have him stripped of his ownership of the Clippers under NBA bylaws.
Just prior to Silver announcing the lifetime ban and forced sale, Sterling told Jim Gray he would not sell the team. If the litigious Sterling decides to fight the forced sale, he may end up having to hire Cliven Bundy as a player-coach, because no self-respecting NBA coach or player will want to be employed by a team owned by him. That's just one of the reasons Sterling will ultimately end up selling.
When Sterling bought the Clippers he signed NBA bylaws which allow the NBA to strip him of his franchise if 3/4 of his fellow owners agree to it. And 3/4 (more likely all) of the other owners will agree to a forced sale of the Clippers, because Sterling's continued ownership will negatively impact their own financial interests and that of the NBA. In the 1990's MLB owners forced Marge Schott to sell the Reds after she made racist comments.
Sterling will likely realize it's in his own best financial interest to sell the team now. If he were to continue as owner, reputable players, coaches and executives will leave at the first opportunity. Not even Washington Generals' players would want to play for him. Fans and advertisers would boycott. All of which would erode the market value of the team.
With the money he makes from the sale of the team, Sterling can buy a 2014 calendar to replace his tattered 1860 one, and then schedule some diversity training for himself and Cliven Bundy.

( alias Rouse)
Born about 1558 at Great Stukeley, Huntingdonshire; died according to à Wood, 15 Kal. Feb. (i.e. 18 January, 1634); Catholic priest and antiquary, claiming descent form the Broughtons of Lancashire. He was ordained at Reims, 4 May, 1593, and soon after returned to England. John Pitts, a contemporary, says that he "gathered a most abundant harvest of souls into the granary of Christ" and eulogizes his attainments in being "no less familiar with literature than learned in Greek and Hebrew". Broughton became an assistant to the archpriest, a canon of the chapter, and vicar-general to Bishop Smith of Chalcedon. He also claims recognition for his influence on the study of antiquity; having earned, partly by his positive work and partly through controversy, the right to honourable mention with Spelman, Reyner, Dugdale, and other well-known antiquarians.
Broughton's chief works are: (1) "An Apologicall Epistle, serving as preface to a Resolution of Religion", signed R. B. Antwerp, 1601); (2) "The first part of the Resolution of Religion By R. B." (Antwerp, 1603), often mistaken for Persons' "Resolution"; (3) "A New Manuall of old Christian Catholick Meditations" (1617), dedicated to Anne of Denmark ; (4) "The Judgment of the Apostles" (Douai, 1632), dedicated to Queen Henrietta Maria and directed against Rogers on the Thirty-nine Articles; (5) "Ecclesiasticall Historie of Great Britaine" (Douai, 1633), dedicated to the Duchess of Buckingham and the Countess of Rutland; (6) "A True Memorial" (London, 1650), published by G. S. P(riest) after Broughton's death. The 1654 edition is entitled "Monasticon Britannicum". (7) Broughton also wrote on the antiquity of the world Sterlingorum (Hearne, II, 318, 381); (8) on the alleged conversion (1621) of John King, Bishop of London ; and (9) "A Relation of the Martyrdom of Nicholas Garlick".
The Catholic Encyclopedia is the most comprehensive resource on Catholic teaching, history, and information ever gathered in all of human history. This easy-to-search online version was originally printed between 1907 and 1912 in fifteen hard copy volumes.
Designed to present its readers with the full body of Catholic teaching, the Encyclopedia contains not only precise statements of what the Church has defined, but also an impartial record of different views of acknowledged authority on all disputed questions, national, political or factional. In the determination of the truth the most recent and acknowledged scientific methods are employed, and the results of the latest research in theology, philosophy, history, apologetics, archaeology, and other sciences are given careful consideration.
No one who is interested in human history, past and present, can ignore the Catholic Church, either as an institution which has been the central figure in the civilized world for nearly two thousand years, decisively affecting its destinies, religious, literary, scientific, social and political, or as an existing power whose influence and activity extend to every part of the globe. In the past century the Church has grown both extensively and intensively among English-speaking peoples. Their living interests demand that they should have the means of informing themselves about this vast institution, which, whether they are Catholics or not, affects their fortunes and their destiny.

A disaster drill, held by the Kenai Peninsula Borough Office of Emergency Management, re-enacted a scenario that isn't too unrealistic: prolonged subzero temperatures combined with fuel shortages from the Mat-Su Borough to the Kenai Peninsula.
In the drill, Enstar issues a Code Red Energy Emergency notification due to a severe shortage of natural gas and continuation of severe winter weather conditions plunging thermometers to minus 20 and lower. There's no immediate threat to the Kenai Peninsula gas supply, however, potential rolling black outs in the Anchorage area was the essential drill problem. In the drill, we were told the Kenai Peninsula will not experience rolling black outs.
Still, under the guidelines established for a Code Red Energy Emergency, citizens of the Kenai Peninsula Borough using natural gas were requested to immediately make adjustments.
As you can already see, the drill has limited application for Homer as Homer doesn't have natural gas. But, this doesn't mean the town would be completely spared problems since Homer Electric Association is tied into the Southcentral energy grid. We, too, would need to make adjustments by turning down thermostats and limit utility uses.
The advice to consolidate into main rooms, and conserve heat would still be useful.
Exercise drills can be fashioned in any number of ways to act out a certain "what if?" This one happened to involve a scenario that would impact a great part of Southcentral Alaska through a limited resource. Officials have talked about the possibility of running low on natural gas if new wells aren't brought on line. This was a chance to carry that fear to a natural conclusion for a look-see at what it might take to prevent such a disaster.
On the human side of the drill, a shelter filled up with 39 people needing help after losing electricity in their homes. An organized body of officials and citizen volunteers came together to feed and comfort them. In the end, they needed to ask themselves if they were able to gather enough blankets, pillows, food and warm clothing. Did they have enough volunteers who knew what to do? What variables sprang up that couldn't have been predicted?
These are the questions that concern us all. How well prepared are we to handle our most vulnerable populations? During disasters, as the Japanese found in the wake of their devastating 2011 earthquake, that tends to be most of us. We're all vulnerable.
The good work of a drill, however, lets us notice this and commit to memory how we solve our crisis together.
Notice also went out to numerous emails this weekend from the borough asking residents to register for the Rapid Notify emergency phone call system. This will send an automatic message to you in case of an any disaster and give directions on what to do.
It takes three minutes to complete. Contact the KPB Office of Emergency Management at https://alert.rapidnotify.com/list_login
Volunteer to sign up friends and relatives who may not have access to signing up online. It's important to take this step that brings us all into the same communication ring.

Skip to comments.Death from above: Video of drones fitted with machine guns that could transform battlefield
Posted on 04/25/2012 10:29:58 AM PDT by cowboybeebop
In the clip FPSRussia, whose Call of Duty videos and real-life weapon demonstrations have earned him a cult following, shows off a quadrotor a mini helicopter with four rotors - outfitted with a machine gun.
The machine is controlled by a tablet computer and FPSRussia explains that a camera on front of the quadrotor gives him a birds eye view of the target.
(Excerpt) Read more at dailymail.co.uk ...
I love that guy's videos.
Is this guy really from Russia or is he faking the accent?
Shades of "Foreign Enemies and Traitors"...
That guy is a character. Now that's what I call a RED-neck, pun intended, but without malice at this time. With his sense of humor, he seems like a good ole boy from the U. S.
I'll admit, it did make me rather nervous to see him flying that thing pointed in his direction at times.
Logical next step.
Only a matter of time before that thing can fly itself ant target enemies without help.
Looks fake to me. Cool idea, though.
A few months ago I read about the installation of .50-cal Barrett rifles on UAVs for long-distance precision shots. I don't know if it ever got implemented.
Come now, it's not that hard to build. Large quadrarotor, solenoid, remote control electronics, M16 minus stock & grip, done. Nothing fake looking about the video (explosions obviously from planted tannerite) or concept.
Look for yourself.
Check my photo, then stand behind this as real.
That plus the instant takeoff capability, the choppy shadows, the slight shake of the copter that's a hallmark of a not-quite-good-enough matchmover solution (though it is pretty good). I did notice the rotors swirling in the smoke at one point, so he may have had an actual copter there for some of the shots, or he just used a little smoke simulator and physics simulator action to fake it—I'm not sure which.
It's clear from his intro graphic that this guy knows a thing or two about CG, and he's applied it here for an entertaining video.
Most TP guys I know are a better shot at much greater distance. Myself included
Oh, and the unrealistic muzzle flash was a dead giveaway, too.
It's not even an upper, but a picatinny rail fore end some tubing and a flash hider.
Tragic, 'cuz it's so easy to make a real one.
Right. Should have noticed the lack of matching upper components. It's a foregrip with rails, some barrel, and a flash supr.
It is tragic. It is tragic WE DO NOT HAVE THEM IN THE CIVILIAN WORLD. Perhaps we need them.
Lets make one.
I really, really hate to do this as what he does is often priceless. Yeah, it's fake and so is he.
He does many videos and most are quite real regarding the firearms. Occasionally they've been "augmented" with video effects. And, he's not really "Russian". It's a gimmick.
But this one takes it to a new level and it's hysterical that the DailyMail picked it up and reposted it as real.
This is as good as the time a Democrat politician thought Birdman's "HoMeBoy Night Sights" were real and tried to make a political/racial issue out of them.
When will you ever learn?
Practically speaking a UAV carrying a gun would need to use electrically fired or rocket cartridges, and be as recoil-less as possible. Perhaps using something like a rocket pod to fire .50 caliber rockets.
I'm old school, I'm working on an ornithopter carrying a .416 Rigby double.
I'm all about mounting ballistas to pterodactyls.
Of course the special exploding targets give if a nice touch too.
I think a ptrebuchet is more alliterative.
Where's the flying unicorn?
Lol, actually have an image intended for that but haven't got to it yet!!
HA! That's hilarious! :)
I suspect that software will quickly be developed that can/will compensate for the recoil. Seems like that should be fairly simple, given all the complexities that exist.
I would imagine there would be some twist from the
rifling too. Maybe a blow back action would cut some
of it and a smaller caliber like .22 would cut down
on the weight but still.
Perhaps a recoilless rocket or something like that.
That's the application that I like. Covert precision fire would make a huge difference.
Getem while they're hot.
Interesting. I was unfamiliar with the gyrojets. But a lot of 1960s technology failed solely because they lacked more advanced materials. I imagine if a similar system was tried today it would likely have a lot more success.
I know that the XM-25 grenade launcher and rounds are pretty astounding in either offense or defense. Not a weapon I would want to go up against. Lots of rave reviews from Afghanistan. When I first heard of the 25mm grenade I was very skeptical, comparing them with the old classic 40mm which I was quite fond of.
Something like that mounted on a UAV, maybe even a larger round, could be a real nightmare against surface forces.
1. It took a couple of feet to accelerate to speed, so a hand placed against the muzzle could stop a round.
2. Inaccurate at distance. Groups reported of 8 inches at 10 yards.
3. Expensive to produce ammunition.
It is possible that to-days technology could overcome these issues, but it is hard to beat conventional ammo.
Your idea of something like 25mm grenades launched from a UAV has promise.
Heh, heh! Love your graphics!
Hey, thanks Smoothsailing!
But I'm sure he had a blast trying it.
I still think it's very doable. Precision computer controlled motion stabilization has reached amazing heights, well within reach of the hobbyist. I'm sure a bunch of people are inspired to try it now, and we'll see hyperventilating news stories about the results in a few months.

Melissa On Prop 8: "Lame."
Rocking lesbian mama Melissa Etheridge put virtual pen to paper today to take on California's Proposition 8, which hopes to overturn that state's gay marriage. Writes Etheridge:
I believe in our democracy. I believe in our constitution. I believe we live in the greatest country in the world. I believe that we are as strong as our weakest link and if we deny any of our citizens the right to "life liberty and the pursuit of happiness†then we deny it to all of us.
I will be waking up with my children on November 5th and I will be fixing them breakfast as I usually do. I look forward to telling them that prop 8 was defeated. I am sure my son will say, "Good, that was lame.â€
Yes, lame indeed.
If you think Proposition 8's lame, you should help the "No on 8" campaign. We bet Etheridge would give you a gold, gay star.
We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness. Those words mean as little as they meant when first inked. America is still a country of hypocrisy, racism, bigotry and lies. When American leaders (government) signed their names there was slavery in America, and even some of the ones who signed that document had slaves. There are still people in this country who don't have rights. So there is no equality. The American government doesn't give rights, it takes away rights. Our federal officials are cowards, who like the ancient rulers, passed the buck to the religious leaders, who passed the buck to the people. AND the people voted to kill Jesus. So much for religion, which seems to be running true to form. Selfish heterosexuals kill the hopes and dreams of American citizens who only want to get legally married and have the same RIGHTS as they do. Selfish is a mild word. (What therefore God has joined together, let not man put asunder.) Man still puts himself higher than God. –Salty

Berlin, between the two world wars. When an executive at the renowned Ufa film studios is found dead floating in his office bathtub, it falls to Nikolai Hoffner, a chief inspector in the Kriminalpolizei, to investigate. With the help of Fritz Lang (the German director) and Alby Pimm (leader of the most powerful crime syndicate in Berlin), Hoffner finds his case taking him beyond the world of film and into the far more treacherous landscape of Berlin's sex and drug trade, the rise of Hitler's Brownshirts (the SA), and the even more astonishing attempts by onetime monarchists to rearm a post-Versailles Germany. Being swept up in the case are Hoffner's new lover, an American talent agent for Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer, and his two sons: Georg, who has dropped out of school to work at Ufa, and Sascha, his angry, older son, who, unknown to his father, has become fully entrenched in the new German Workers Party as the aide to its Berlin leader, Joseph Goebbels.
What a spellbinding novel Shadow and Light is, and what a novelist Jonathan Rabb has become!

SALT INFORMATION for UNWANTED-72
Levonorgestrel(0.75 mg)
Unwanted-72 tablet, is an emergency hormonal contraceptive used to help prevent a pregnancy when taken within 72 hours (3 days) of having had unprotected sex or if usual method of contraception has failed. It is also i available as a T-shaped intrauterine delivery system (IUD) which is used for the prevention of pregnancy (contraception) for up to three years.
How it works
Unwanted-72 tablet as an immediate contraceptive measure is thought to work by:
- Stopping ovaries from releasing an egg.
- Preventing sperm from fertilizing any egg that may have already released.
- Stopping a fertilized egg from attaching itself to womb lining.
As a T-shaped intrauterine delivery system, after placement inside the womb, small amount of the hormone Unwanted-72 tablet reduces the monthly growth of the lining of the womb and thickens the cervical mucus which prevents contact and fertilization of an egg by sperm.
Common side effects
Intermenstrual bleeding, Diarrhoea, Nausea, Fatigue, Headache, Dizziness, Vomiting, Breast pain, Breast tenderness, Altered menstrual cycle, Abdominal pain lower

Expert advice for UNWANTED-72
As an emergency contraceptive: This medicine can be taken only by women aged 16 years and over. This medicine is intended for occasional use only and is recommended to not use more than once in a monthly cycle. It is not a substitute for long-term contraception.
- If you throw up within 3 hours of taking the tablet, you will need to take another tablet.
Do not take:
- If you are allergic to any of the ingredients in this medicine.
- If you are pregnant.
- If you have ever had a disease called salpingitis (inflammation of the Fallopian tubes).
Talk to your doctor before taking levonorgestrel:
- If you have severe liver problems.
- If you have severe digestive problems (e.g. Crohn's disease).
- If you have ever had an ectopic pregnancy (where a baby develops outside the womb), fallopian tube surgery or pelvic inflammatory disease.
- If you are under 16 years of age (your local family planning clinic may also be able to help)
- If you are breastfeeding.
- This medicine can sometimes disturb your normal monthly cycle (period). If delayed by more than 5 days late, or is unusually light or heavy you should talk to your doctor as soon as possible and have a pregnancy test. This medicine may make you feel dizzy or tired.
- Do not drive or use machines until you are sure you are not affected. A pregnancy will not normally be affected by taking this medicine, however there is a risk that a pregnancy may continue outside of the womb (ectopic pregnancy). It is important that you talk to your doctor about it. As an IUD: You should not use this device if you are allergic to levonorgestrel, silicone, silica, silver, barium, iron oxide, or polyethylene.
Do not use this device if you have:
- abnormal vaginal bleeding.
- an untreated or uncontrolled pelvic infection (vaginal, cervical uterine, or bladder).
- a history of pelvic inflammatory disease (PID), unless you have had a normal pregnancy after the infection treated uterine fibroid tumors past or present breast cancer, known or suspected cervical or uterine cancer;liver disease or liver tumor (benign or malignant);if you have another intrauterine device (IUD) in place. After each menstrual period you should check to make sure you can still feel the removal strings. Wash your hands with soap and water, and insert your clean fingers into the vagina. You should be able to feel the strings at the opening of your cervix.
- Call your doctor at once if you cannot feel the strings, or if you think the device has slipped lower in your uterus or out of your uterus. A sudden increase in menstrual flow may be a sign that the device has slipped out of place.
Frequently asked questions for UNWANTED-72
Q. Is levonorgestrel progesterone/ a steroid/effective/does levonorgestrel work/work during ovulation/ prevent implantation?
Levonorgestrel is synthetic progesterone, a steroid. It decreases the secretion of hormones and thereby inhibits ovulation. It also inhibits implantation (the point when a fertilized egg embeds in the uterine wall, where it will grow and develop into an embryo). It is effective (almost 84%) and works better if taken as soon as or within 72 hours after unprotected sex or failure of usual contraception.
Q. Is levonorgestrel a combination pill?

The University of Oregon Index of Economic Indicators, a monthly gauge released Wednesday, rose 1.1 percent in February, said Tim Duy, a UO economist who assembles the numbers.
"Compared to six months ago, the UO Index rose 3.3 percent, a rate that suggests continued growth in Oregon in 2012," Duy wrote in his report. "Likewise, the flow of national data is generally consistent with steady growth, although the pace remains below that necessary to quickly return economic activity to its pre-recession trend."
In February, Oregon initial unemployment claims fell after spiking in January. Temp hiring increased, while residential building permits dipped slightly. Nationally, consumer confidence continued to rise and manufacturing orders turned up.
"The risk of financial disruption from the European crisis appears to be relatively low at the moment," Duy wrote, "whereas questions about the impact of higher oil prices remain."

It's Travers Weekend, and Saratoga Springs is the city of horses. Everywhere you turn, there's an equine face or body, from the lively decorated horses that dot the downtown sidewalks to the colorful paintings of thundering thoroughbreds in the window of Flores Fine Art Gallery. If you are hunting for that perfect equine painting or print for your home or office, it's a good bet you can find it here. Or maybe you'd just like ...

glew, llvm, clang, libxml++, xulrunnerI have compiled these in Wary and created PETs:
glew-1.7.0 OpenGL Extension Wrangler Library
llvm-2.8 Low Level Virtual Machine
clang-2.8 C/C++ compiler
libxml++-2.35.1 C++ interface to XML files
xulrunner-10.0.2 Embed Mozilla technologies into apps
The PETs:
Wary has all the dependencies, except libxml++ needs glibmm.
Now that might seem like a strange combination of PETs to create! I was compiling the dependencies for Lightspark, an open source Flash player. Then I found that Lightspark needs gcc 4.4+, whereas Wary has 4.3.4 -- so I compiled 4.4.6. However, Lightspark still needs Boost -- I installed libboost DEBs from Debian Lenny, but Lightspark compile failed, doesn't seem to like that version of Boost.
Comments:Posted on 28 Feb 2012, 9:14 by Barryk
I installed Boost from Slackware:
Lightspark compile got a lot further, but still failed, out-of-scope symbol.
Out of curiousity, I did a quick hack, removed the symbol from the source, which will probably break something when it runs. Stopped with another error later. Enough.

Most the time when I run into boost as a dep, Usually it just needs the static headers.
hope this helps

: Several of my housplant pots have developed "mold" along the tops and bottoms. Is there anything I can use to clean this off and prevent it from happening in the future?
: Thanks!
Hi Kelly,
This really can't be prevented. It does help to use a natural fertilizer like seaweed or fish emulsion.

I am sick and tired of the back and forth between President Barack Obama and House Speaker John Boehner. To resolve this fiscal cliff problem, the following should happen:
First, the two parties should agree that whatever number they come up with, it should consist of 50 percent worth of cuts to programs like Social Security, Medicare, defense, etc., and 50 percent worth of revenue increases, including raising taxes, closing loopholes, etc.
Right now, every proposal from the administration has a much smaller percentage of cuts versus increases in revenues. Conversely, every proposal from the speaker and his advisers is top-heavy on cuts versus revenue increases. If they could only agree on the 50-50 proposition, half the battle would be won.
Second, the Democrats should be forthright with the people about what will be cut and by how much. And the Republicans need to be clear which tax-code loopholes they would close so that the Congressional Budget Office can calculate what the revenues will be. Their vague statements do not tell us anything. Come on, Washington, we can take it.
In case anyone wonders, I am on Social Security and Medicare. But I am also realistic enough to know that we can't keep borrowing and borrowing to survive. We had balanced budgets before, and we need to get there again.

Resource requirements in Acadian Forest species
Location: The UNESCO Fundy Biosphere Reserve, Southeastern New Brunswick
Collaborators: D. Mazerolle, M. Smith
With growing pressures on forested lands worldwide, changing climatic patterns due to global warming and the recognized importance of forests in the mitigation of climate change, it is becoming increasingly important to understand the mechanisms determining tree species distributions at local and regional scales and the impacts of land use on the resulting forest dynamics. The objectives of this research are two-fold: (1) to quantify the resource requirements and interactive effects of multiple resources (light, water, and nutrients) on juvenile and adult distributions of Acadian forest trees; and (2) to quantify changes to these species-resource relationships and the impacts on forest dynamics in light of changing land uses.

Shift is the epitome of 'Packs Small, Plays Big.'
You can now perform the impossible action of bending a a key INSIDE your SPECTATOR'S HAND, in plain view, for the world to witness every surreal moment.
Full OverviewThe key itself has been manufactured from a patented alloy, similar to the Self Bending Fork, and will stay in its 'set' condition, even hanging on your key chain - so you're ready to perform at a moment's notice. The Fork works in the same way as the Key and is perfect for more formal situations. Get the Shift: Self Bending Fork, here.
The above video shows just how powerful the Shift Metal Bending System really is - and how easy it is to perform. Whilst the Shift Fork is used in the above video (because of the Diner setting) the Shift Key uses the exact same principle - it's like a pocket-sized Shift Fork.
In a breakthrough of technology, Shift: Self Bending Key is the lowest priced self bending metal effect in history. Not to mention the ONLY engineered the gimmick to stay straight in room temperature UNTIL you place it inside the spectator's hands.
Shift will remain unbent, unnoticed, and unassuming until the moment you place it into the spectator's hands. From that moment on, your work is done and the real phenomenon begins.
You now have the tool for a surreal performance. A physical impossibility is now within your reach.
"People are truly going to lose their minds over this. A key is INCREDIBLY practical." - Joel Bauer, Top Pro
"I thought the self bending fork was off the chain, the key is so much better." - Anthony Brown, Salem NJ
"Please let me perform this before anyone else!." - Eric Ross Top Pro
IMPORTANT: This is NOT an opening effect. If you perform this as your first trick, make it your ONLY trick, because NOTHING can follow Shift. Your spectators will look at you through new eyes, so why go perform a card trick after something like this? Shift is your "coup de grace" effect. No effect is more, fair, unbelievable or convincing.

Pocket full of flash bulbsOctober 09,2012The picture of Aldo Merusi in todays Herald (Oct. 8) brings back many happy memories. When I was I was a student at Rutland High School in the 1940s, I was a cheerleader. After RHS lost a basketball game to MSJ, Anne Preston Brush and I were sitting on the first row of bleachers, looking very sad. He took our picture and wanted to publish it. We called him and asked that he not publish the picture; we thought that MSJ would think we were poor losers. I still have that picture.
During a summer vacation from school he took a picture of a group of high school girls when we were taking a senior life-saving course at the old pool on North Main Street. That picture was in the Merusi Files just a few months ago.
In 1951 when Rob and I were married, my mother and I lived in a small apartment. Mr. Merusi came to the apartment and took pictures and then to IHM and on to The Wheeler Williams and the reception.
The picture of Aldo that is in the Herald today, in that long coat, is great. He always had his pockets full of flash bulbs. I am very happy to have known him.

Given that the opposite of "wellness" is "sickness," the promotion of such a concept in the workplace seems like a no-brainer.
But what exactly does it mean to start a wellness program in your workplace?
A two-day conference next week at the University of Alabama at Birmingham addresses just that, said UAB Wellness Coordinator Lauren Whitt.
"Our people are our greatest asset and to have them healthy and well and accomplishing what they need to be doing at their jobs is a major factor," Whitt said.
And more specifically, it's good for a company's bottom line in that it goes to keep health benefit costs down.
Among the experts presenting at the The Innovations in Wellness Conference will be American Heart Association president Donna Arnett, chair of the UAB Department of Epidemiology, Tim Townes, chair of the UAB Department of Biochemistry and Molecular Genetics, and Dr. Helen Krontiras, UAB breast surgeon and co-director of the UAB Breast Health Center.
Topics for building a wellness program will include smoking cessation, exercise, nutrition, stress management, and managing chronic conditions. See the agenda here.
Space is limited but there are seats available for the conference which kicks off Wednesday, Nov. 14. It will be held at the UAB Alumni House, 1301 10th Ave. South.
The cost is $275 and registration is available online here.

Kirkwood will be offering "group pricing' for people needing daily tickets for our day on Saturday.
Kids (13-18) $43.00
Adults (19-64) $58.00
Seniors (65-69) $36.00
We will be able to buy them that day. Kirkwood will also have special parking and a reception room for us to use. Coop and the boys are really going out of the way to make EpicSki feel at home.
Kirkwood will be offering 30% off of lodging for the weekend too! So for those who want to venture down from the north part of the lake after skiing on Thursday (or Friday after skiing Heavenly) and get a room for Friday and Saturday, this is a killer deal. Use EPIC as a code when booking HERE
Kirkwood brings you Powder Cat Tours - Tahoe's only resort based cat skiing operation! Our Powder Cat Tours operate in two areas: Martin Point and Red Cliffs. Expedition Guides and Patrollers lead groups to the freshest turns on these four run sessions. Avalanche beacons, probes and backpacks are provided, however, guests are encouraged to bring own gear if they have it. Open to advanced to expert skiers and riders.
Powder Cat Tours operate when conditions permit as determined by guides and ski patrol; cat holds ten guests. Tours book out quickly, so guests are encouraged to make advance reservations. Groups of eight or more can reserve private cat trip seven days a week - advance reservations required.
Our advice: keep an eye on the long range weather forecast and book accordingly!
Cost: Martin Point $200 (more advanced terrain) Red Cliffs $150
The above price is plus a ticket. So if you have an Tahoe 6-pack you are not paying twice.
Please post in the poll for the catskiing and I will get the information regarding payment.

Facelifts in automotive term comes in many forms. An existing model hat has been endowed with a new engine, gearbox or running gear without any changes to its aesthetics can be considered to have gone through a facelift while there are some facelifts whereby a car's looks inside and/or outside are altered but the mechanical bits left untouched. The latter applies to the recently facelifted Toyota Fortuner.
First launched in 2004, the Fortuner is Toyota's ASEAN made large SUV model based on the Hilux pick-up truck. Prior to this latest facelift, the Fortuner had been updated twice previously since it was introduced seven years ago. The first model featured an all-wheel drive drivetrain but in 2007, Toyota updated the Fortuner under the skin by deleting the four-wheel drive hardware and transfer case thus making the Fortuner a two-wheel drive model. Toyota obviously reckoned back then that the typical Fortuner buyer will hardly take their SUVs off tarmac, so hence the deletion of the all-wheel drive feature in the new model then.
Two years after the introduction of the two-wheel drive Fortuner, Toyota updated its large SUV's exterior with a new front fascia as well as more contemporary looking tail lamps and minor changes to the interior. The recently updated 2011 Fortuner features even more extensive exterior changes than the 2009 facelift.
Up front, the Fortuner gets a bolder nose that seems to ape a Land Cruiser Prado's. There is a new, more prominent chrome grille that makes the Fortuner appear wider at the front. The grille is complimented by new headlamps as well as a redesigned bumper. From the sides, the new car is instantly recognisable by its new alloy wheels which feature an elegant double-spoke design. The rear features a new bumper as well as new tail lamps – the latter's clear lenses somehow reminds us of the ones from the first generation Harrier/Lexus RX300.
The tail lamps might be an acquired taste but all in all, the updates have given the Fortuner a classier and more elegant feel that makes it look more expensive than before.

LINWOOD — A Linwood man who fatally stabbed his 88-year-old neighbor and wounded two others at a New Jersey retirement community has been found not guilty by reason of insanity.
State Superior Court Judge Max Baker issued his ruling Wednesday following a nonjury trial.
He said Anthony Milano, 66, of Linwood, would be committed to an undisclosed psychiatric facility.
Milano was charged with murder, attempted murder, aggravated assault and a weapons offense after the October 2009 attacks at the Village at Linwood, about five miles west of Atlantic City.
Atlantic County prosecutors say Milano attacked Catherine McGowan and her daughter, 60-year-old Diane Nehmad, outside McGowan's apartment. Another resident, 84-year-old Eugene Pepper, was wounded when he tried to intervene.
Residents said Milano acted erratically and feuded with his neighbors.

Good place for the money, beds are really comfortable and two badrooms were nice luxury to our travelling family. Good services in reception and you feel secured in the facilities. It was a hot summer evening and the only downside was the lack of window that can be opened all the way to get little help for summer temperature
Very nice comfortable appartment, central located, helpful staff, looking forward to see you agian!
A nice flat in a nice place, near from center of Riga! We liked our journey!
We stayed for a week there and were really satisfied. The apartment is fully equipped and very clean. during our stay we had to clean ourselves, which was not a problem. the accommodation is spacious and during the night it was mainly quiet.
The reception is 24h in charge and Arthur helped us very much and very friendly with all our questions and the first orientation in the city. it is a little walk into the city centre - maybe 10-15 minutes - but you also have nice cafes and restaurants nearby.
We can definitely recommend this place.
Really nice, clean and spacious apartment.
Staff is really friendly and helpful.
We really enjoyed our stay in such a beautiful city.
We enjoyed Riga. What an amazing city! The apartment was located a few kilometers outside the old center. We like to walk so found no problem. There is also a bus stop a few meters away. The relationship between price and quality was fine. A fully furnished apartment with nice beds and a good shower. Very clean. Despite the complex near the railway and a busy road that gives little inconvenience. The staff at the reception were helpful and friendly. Definitely recommended if you ever take a few days to Riga. René and Annet
We hebben genoten van Riga. Wat een bijzondere stad! Het appartementencomplex lag een paar kilometer buiten het oude centrum. Wij lopen graag dus vonden dat geen probleem. Daarnaast is er ook een bushalte op een paar meter afstand. De verhouding tussen de prijs en kwaliteit was prima. Een zeer compleet ingericht appartement met heerlijke bedden en een goede douche. Zeer schoon. Ondanks dat het complex dichtbij het spoor en een drukke weg ligt geeft dat weinig overlast. Het personeel bij de receptie was behulpzaam en vriendelijk. Zeker een aanrader als je ooit een paar dagen naar Riga gaat. René en Annet
Super apartment, has exactly looked like on the pictures. We had a great time in Riga !!

Very neat, quite, and modern apartment with good beds and window shades to sleep well. The kitchen is fully equipped so we made ourselves breakfast and dinner. I would definitely stay there again! It's about 5 minutes to the railway station by taxi (which should be taken with a taxi meter instead of a fixed price) or you can even walk. The Gertrudes street is very long and the apartment hotel is at the end. The closer to the old town you walk along the Gertrudes street the nicer it gets.

Usain Bolt
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Usain Bolt was born in 1986 and is a Jamaican runner and six-time Olympic gold-medal winner.[1] Some people call him the world's fastest man. He has run 100 metres in 9.58 seconds and 200 metres in 19.30seconds. He broke his own record in 2010. He took part in the 2012 London Olympics, and won gold in the 100m, 200m and 4 × 100 m relay.

Preserving Ancient Peru
We know that without museums we risk losing vital information about the culture, traditions and lifestyles of our ancestors. This is especially true in places like Peru, where Silvia Rodrigues discovered that natural history museums are piecing together the lives of those who no longer have a voice…
"Included in the many highlights of my Intrepid Peru trip were visits to the obscure museums that you find around the country. Fascinating keepers of precious artefacts of Inca and pre-Inca cultures, such as the Paracas, Tiwanaku and Nazcas.
A lot is said about the Inca civilisation, but their history, as well as that of their ancestors, is still relatively unknown due to the lack of written manuscripts. Gaining a better insight of their culture and practices is a laborious task. Gathering fragments of pottery, fabrics, carved wooden figures and small zoomorphic silver or gold figures is like piecing together like an archaeological jigsaw.
When visiting Ica, near Pisco, you should visit the regional museum, which holds a fine collection of artefacts from the different communities that have inhabited the area. The museum is small but well laid out, showing how the different cultures from the region developed. The textiles from the Paracas culture are well conserved and very beautiful, and the Nazca ceramics are superb.
One of the main attractions of the museum is their collection of mummies. From the Paracas and Nazcas to the Waris, you can see it all. The mummies are very well preserved and if you check them closely, you can still see the details of the skin and the eyelashes. One thing you'll surely notice are the long dread-locks! There are also many examples of skull deformation and trepanation from the Nazca and Paracas cultures, showing the differences between the two. The trophy skulls, worn on a rope around the victor's waist, are particularly interesting, though not for the faint-hearted or squeamish.
Another museum worth a visit is Museum of Andean Sanctuaries (Museo de Santuarios Andinos), in Arequipa. They hold possibly the most spectacular mummy of them all: Juanita. Juanita is believed to have been a child sacrifice to the Apu gods (the mountains). She was possibly an offering to "placate their anger", as severe drought or other weather extremes were once interpreted as signs of anger from the gods, and thus a more important sacrifice than the usual chicha or animals was required.
A young child of 13 or 14 years at most, Juanita appears to be a virgin from a noble family, considering the fabrics used to cover her and the different artefacts found within her mummy-bundle, such as small gold llamas, small silver vicunas and a small golden doll. She was taken on a long journey, possibly from Cusco, all the way up the Ampato Apu, where she was killed by a single blow on the right side of her head, that left hardly any marks on the outside. Luckily for her, Juanita was kept fasting before being fed chicha and coca leaves, which suggests she could have already been unconscious when the deadly blow hit her head.
Juanita was left in her tomb atop of Ampato Apu and only discovered about 500 years later, when an eruption of the nearby Sabancay volcano dislodged her frozen body.
Juanita is beautiful, delicate, and is kept frozen by the museum. She is only on display for 8 months of the year. Her hair, eyelashes, little hands clasped around her knees – everything is so innocent about her. Her angelic, mummified facial expression is a picture that won't fade easily from my memories."

...Lions... oh my! (Lions and tiger and bears, why not?) I'd love to see what kind of creativity this brings to your surroundings, too.
5 Paper Winter Printable Crafts:
Thanks for the pattern! The lion is so cute.
I made one at the office and since I had no card stock I used a manilla folder. :) I also posted it here on my instagram account.
This makes my day!! I can't wait to take a lookDelete
Adorable! My kiddos will love this.ReplyDelete
I would love to hear how it goes!Delete
So cute, Gina! I have so many cut snowflakes already - now we can put them to use!ReplyDelete
Great to hear from you! I can imagine the scene you'll create! Thanks for coming by,Delete
WAW!! I love your lion. Such a creative way to use snowflakes.ReplyDelete
Thank you for your comment. I can only imagine that you, too, have a nice pile of these paper flakes around the house, too! He just called out to be!.... we have ostriches and trees and... more on the way!
I hope your year is starting off creative, inspired and off on a wonderful note!
Some questions on these lions--The Lion template says to use card stock, which I did. However, I assumed the snowflake should also be card stock--that's very hard to cut into a snowflake. Did you actually use paper for the snowflake part?ReplyDelete
Thank you for taking the time to write. I'm very happy to help. Yes, I used paper for these and if you feel that the card stock that you have is too heavy, then, use regular paper to cut the snow flake. Depending on how intricate you are cutting, you can even use an xacto knife.
I don't have the paper weights handy but, as a general rule of thumb, would recommend using card stock for the lion's body so that it holds it shape and so that it stands. Regarding the snow flake, I've used everything from card stock to parchment paper for it. Good luck and don't hesitate to check in!
Oops--second question that I forgot--it looks like the center circle on the snowflake on the template is actually bigger than in the photos. If I use the inner circle on the template as the opening for the lion's head, then I can't get as much detail cut into the snowflake as you did, so I think that template circle is larger than what you used. Can you check?ReplyDelete
Giving a guideline for the center shape was a little tricky. That inner circle is a guide for the maximum "outer" edge of your center details (for example: the points on the tips of a star ) You can make this center quite small, but, it's just helpful to have one of these star tips deeper so that it easily slips over the edge of the lion's head. Good luck and thank you for asking!Delete
OK, great. Thanks very much! Going to use this at my daughter's 10th birthday, which is a crafting party!ReplyDelete

Although I am a big fan of razzle-dazzle hands, I've been known to employ jazz hands, along with spirit fingers on occasion (I guess I'm very "handsy," but, I have great, manly hands... well, at times other than when I'm rocking the razzle-dazzle hands), so you had to know that I'd be a big Broadway Week, on Dancing with the Stars, fan. As most of the routines are based on pretty iconic original numbers, and scored to well-known songs, the star-pro pairing had a lot to live up to going in a week celebrating the Great White Way. Which, coincidentally, was my nickname in high school. But anyway, as it's now "showtime" (also a nickname that I nicknamed myself during high school), how did the remaining seven stars do last night, dancing one individual dance, along with the first group dance of the season? Here's a rundown, dancer by dancer, in order of appearance (with judge's scores for each dance in parenthesis):
Rob Kardashian & Cheryl Burke (22): With the whole Kardashian clan in the audience, new sister-husbands and all (which pushed poor Bruce Jenner out of the front row seats), Rob & Cheryl took to the dance floor for a cha cha cha scored to "Walk like a Man" from Jersey Boys. Rob is a contestant who has really grown on me this season, and so far, I'd say he's beating out Ricki for this season's "biggest loser," as the baby-fat (or just fat-fat) has melted away, turning Rob into, well, a man. Or at least a less pudgy man. Although it was his best dance of the season, Len thought the dance "wasn't oily [and] it was all a bit stiff and starchy" (I however, and allow me to stereotype Jersey Boys (and Jersey boys), love oily pasta that's a bit stiff and starchy, especially with some fine Malbec) with Bruno commenting that the dance "lacked impact." But, for the first dance of the night, it was a good start, and should keep Rob safe for another week, no matter what insults his heckling family was throwing the judges' way.
Nancy Grace & Tristan MacManus (24): It seems that week in and week out (mmmm, in and out) these two are always fighting in rehearsals, but in a non-Maks sort of way, where Tristan actually seems to respect Nancy, but at the same time, not put up with her crap. It seems that Nancy wants to be challenged, but not too-challenged in her choreography, which led to the couple's foxtrot to "Always Look on the Bright Side of Life" from Spamalot definitely being their best of the season, full of humor and flair. With Carrie calling the routine a "showstopper" (it was not), and Len being booed by two teenage girls sitting behind him (who I'm surprised weren't removed by Planet Mirrorballus security, whose flashy, glitter-filled uniforms make them the envy of any police force), the couple did come up with their best score of the season. But I still see these two being in the bottom-two during tonight's "Results Show."
David Arquette & Kym Johnson (23): Speaking of transformations (with the weight loss evident in Rob and my growing man-crush on Tristan), I can't believe how good David is looking, rolling in during the first days of the season looking like he slept in a dumpster the night before to now, giving John Travolta a run for his money during the couple's performance of "We Go Together" from Grease. Grease is, and will always be one of my favorite movies, and the penultimate dance to this song is just so iconic, I really thought that this couple would be in trouble during their quickstep, but I came away from the dance truly surprised. Don't get me wrong, it wasn't a great dance, and David is no JT, and Kym is no Olivia Newton John, but David understands the true importance of jazz hands ("I'm really happy to have jazz hands this week" (which I say on a daily basis)) and his Danny Zuko impression was pretty spot-on. Now not everyone can be as lucky as I am, with the ability to make myself laugh (which I love about myself), but David has that trait too. And there's nothing funnier, or more endearing that someone making themselves laugh, even if no one gets what their laughing at. And I should know, from all my experience.
Ricki Lake & Derek Hough (29): The dance of the night, and maybe of the season, belonged to these two, hitting the dance floor to "Luck Be a Lady" from Guys and Dolls, with a quickstep that garnered a well-earned standing "O." Really, there isn't much more to say about this dance, with Len even cutting himself off, mid-slight critique to apologize to the couple for trying to find fault. Of course, he was the dissenter of the group, only scoring them a "9." As Ricki is battling Rob for the "biggest loser" title, Brooke Burke felt where I was coming from, asking Ricki how much weight she has lost. Ricki, instead of answering, told Brooke "maybe we can trade clothes." Now yes Ricki, as the night's Worst Dressed Award winner, for wearing the worst orange dress I've ever seen, could have swapped her frock for Brooke's, who received the first ever runner-up Worst Dressed Award, for a dress that made her boobs look like they resting on her stomach. Which is never a good look. But girls, trade away, if you really want to.
Chaz Bono & Lacey Schwimmer (19): Showing how well the fix is in, Brooke said, following this couple's dance and scores, that they received a "19 out of 20," which, well, will definitely keep them dancing one more week. But as "it's Week 6," Lacey, who seems pretty much done with Chaz (who seems to have a belief that the point of Dancing is "to survive one more week" instead of "dance better"), really laid into Chaz during rehearsals, saying "I can't make something super basic, which is what we have been doing." I really feel bad for Lacey, because for a girl of so many talents, her talent is just going to waste. What she needs is a new partner, as these two took the floor for a tango to the theme from The Phantom of the Opera. With Bruno saying that Chaz looked like "a cute little penguin attempting to be a big, menacing bird of prey" (Lacey just looked hot, swirling around the dance floor in this week's Best Dressed Award's dress, and doubled it up with the group dance's boyfriend shirt and hot pants look), Chaz looks like he might be in trouble again this week, but as past weeks have already proven, no matter if they're being judged out of a total of 30 or 20, this couple will be "safe," once again.
Hope Solo & Maksim Chmerkovskiy (20): Whereas I think Chaz & Lacey will be safe, it's pretty obvious, from past week's results, that this couple won't be, and most likely will be tonight's bootee. Not only has Hope taken a major step back with her rumba set to Rent's "Seasons of Love" (the only musical I've ever walked out of, during intermission), but she has also been suffering from "weepy star syndrome" while at the same time, Maks has begun to fire back at the judges. So I have to wonder if the same fate is going to befall this couple as it did to Brandy & Maks when he starting exploding on the judges. There's no doubt that the scoring from the judges has been wildly inconsistent this season, with some scoring seemingly being made to "advance the plot" of different contestants. Maks, sensing that different couples are being scored using different criteria, got into a verbal sparring match with Len, which ended with him, telling Brooke, "this is my show." Of course, if Maks is to go out this week (and he will), at least he went out "livin' the dream," employing the three female Dance Troupe members to star in some sort of Skinemax-like rehearsal, where the three spent their time "sexing up" the pretty unsexy Hope. Score!
JR Martinez & Karina Smirnoff (29): As little respect as Karina usually gets, especially when looking at the type of dancer (the not good ones) that she's usually paired with, in terms of choreography, Karina is the female-version of Derek, who, in a way, has it a bit harder as she actually has to get her partner to lead. But lead JR did, in quickstep set to "Hot Honey Rag" from Chicago, with Karina filling the dance with "most difficult choreography she's ever done on the show." Even JR's cartwheel, which looked oh-so-like-me-attempting-a-cartwheel in rehearsal, turned out great, with Karina's mind-blowing final back-dip (proving herself as flexible as can be) the cherry on top of this yummy sundae of a dance. Karina even would've picked up the night's Best Dressed Award for her silver-fringed gown, if not for how her black bob made her chin seem more butt-like than ever (yes, I'm picky).
There's really not much to say about the group dance, which was unscored. I thought that everyone performed pretty well, with the judges commending Rob (and me wondering why Hope couldn't bring the sexy that she brought to this dance to her earlier number). With my seven votes, I gave three to JR & Karina on the men's side, with my three votes going to Ricki & Derek on the women's side, and my remaining one wild card vote going to David & Kym, for channeling JT and Olivia Newton John (swoon). Tonight, master choreographer Kenny Ortega appears to do something, and Kristin Chenoweth, who might top 4'10," reappears to sing a couple of songs off her new album.

Dana O'Neil of ESPN.com had an interesting read last week about problems impacting college basketball. She surveyed 20 "high-profile" head coaches watching recruits at the EYBL Peach Jam, representing each of the six power conferences, for their anonymous thoughts about their sport.
Among the informal findings: The SEC is the dirtiest in college basketball, with 14 of the 20 coaches surveyed naming the conference that John Calipari now calls home. The Big Ten was voted the cleanest, with 11 of 20 votes.
"Oh, it's not just a myth. It's the truth," one coach said of the SEC being dirty.
Said another coach: "Everyone says the SEC, but that's because of (the) football thing. That's the standard answer, but I'm not sure it's true."
Answered another coach: "The perception is the SEC doesn't have a good reputation. I don't know if that's legit or fair. I was on the other side 10 years ago. If a program starts getting better, starts getting kids, the question is always the same: What's he doing? He's gotta be doing something. And that adds to the perception."
One longtime coach said the SEC image is slowly getting repaired. "I do think by hiring guys like Anthony Grant at Alabama, the SEC is on the right track to cleaning things up."
It's an interesting read about the shadiness of the recruiting trail in big-time college basketball. The coaches were 100 percent in agreement that the sport's biggest problem is agents/runners. Everyone has their hands out, including parents, according to many of the coaches.
There are some pretty candid responses. O'Neil asked the coaches whether they would break a major NCAA rule to land a top-five player if they knew there was a zero percent chance of getting caught.
"Where am I in my career?" said the only coach who hinted he would consider it. "It's a risk-reward. If you're at the beginning of your career or at the end of your career, you might take the risk."
Some coaches were very pessimistic about the game.
"I sometimes wonder, 'Can I survive in this profession without compromising who I am?" one said. "I'm not sure about that answer and it really disappoints me."
Said another: "I know this: I'm glad I'm not 40 and just getting started in this business. I can see the light at the end of the tunnel, but I would say I'm a little more pessimistic about things than I was a few years ago. It just seems like we can't stop it. The bad guys keep winning."

By MARSHA STAKOFSKY
I'm writing to comment on your story from Nov. 14 about the response by the American Red Cross.
I would just like to say I've never seen finer service given by such a dedicated group of volunteers. All I see are Red Cross emergency vehicles from all over the nation here on our Island, the "forgotten borough."
Honestly, I don't think we are so forgotten.
For the elected officials who are complaining about the Red Cross not being here soon enough, I would like to say that if they had been here prior to the storm hitting and then been injured, incapacitated or if their supplies were damaged in the storm, then the elected officials would say that the Red Cross should have thought of that and come afterwards.
There is no perfect answer and I wonder if the elected officials have gone to the Red Cross to ask for answers to their perfectly legitimate questions or did they first go to the media to complain to get headlines?
I would like to close with also disagreeing with your headline. By using the word "defends," you are implying that they did something wrong; a better word would have been "explains."

KALAMAZOO, MI -- The Kalamazoo City Commission on Monday voted to approve a proposal to ban dogs from city-owned Milham Park Golf Course.
The ordinance amendment prohibits dogs on the golf course, which is popular for cross-country skiers in the winter and golfers in the summer. Dogs still are allowed to be in Milham Park.
The only other city-owned park where dogs are banned is the beach at Woods Lake Park.
Commissioners voted 5-0 to approve the ban. Commissioners Stephanie Moore and Bob Cinabro were absent. The item did not receive any public comment.
Vice Mayor David Anderson said cross country skiers who groom the trail have gotten in touch with commissioners and thanked them, saying that loose dogs who relieve themselves on the trail cause the snow to melt and messes up the trail in that area.
"I'm happy we can contribute to that in some small way," Anderson said of the ban.
Sean Fletcher, director of the city's parks and recreation department, told commissioners in a staff memo the ban would "eliminate the opportunity for dog waste on the course and possible interaction with golfers."
Fletcher also wrote that the Nordic Ski Club has requested dogs be banned from accompanying skiers on the course because they "can negatively impact trail conditions" and also because dog waste has become an issue for skiers.
Owners can be fined $100 plus court costs for violating the ordinance, and can pay a fine of $200 plus court costs for a subsequent violation within six months of a prior offense.

Conservative former congressman Pat Toomey made it official Wednesday, signing on for a rematch with moderate Pennsylvania Sen. Arlen Specter in the 2010 Republican Senate primary.
Starting with a talk-radio interview in Allentown and a video on his new campaign Web site, Toomey said he was running to stop the "bailouts and the spending stampede" and because Specter had consistently supported "increased government spending and a liberal agenda on social, labor, immigration and national security policies."
In 2004, Toomey shocked politicos when he came within 17,000 votes -- out of 1 million cast -- of defeating Specter, despite being outspent, 4-to-1. This time, he won't have the element of surprise; Specter, anticipating his challenge, has already aired commercials attacking Toomey's record.
The announcement came on tax filing day, as conservative activists across the country held "tea parties" to protest what they see as out-of-control government spending that will lead to unsustainable debt and higher taxes.
Toomey, 47, had been exploring a run for governor until an eruption of anger in the GOP's conservative base greeted Specter's crucial vote in February for the Democrats' $787 billion economic stimulus bill. Two recent independent polls found that a narrow majority of Republicans surveyed favored someone new in the Senate seat.
Specter's campaign said in a statement that Toomey was too far to the right to win a general election in Pennsylvania, a state dominated by centrist voters that has been trending Democratic in recent years.
After all, the statement said, Toomey is in some ways more conservative than former Republican Sen. Rick Santorum, who lost his 2006 re-election bid by 18 percentage points.
"Without Senator Specter's seat, which Mr. Toomey would certainly lose, there would no longer be 41 Republican senators to filibuster and stop the Democrats from passing card check, raising taxes, and implementing President Obama's massive spending plans," said Christopher Nicholas, Specter's campaign manager.
Specter, who is seeking his sixth term, recently voted against Obama's proposed 2010 budget and announced he would oppose the so-called card-check bill that would make it easier for unions to organize. Toomey said those were politically motivated flip-flops.
Though Specter, 79, has proved a popular vote-getter with Democrats and independents in general elections, the primary could be his biggest challenge, with a smaller and more conservative Republican electorate.
