THE REGULATORY Information Service Center (RISC)
was created in June 1981. The Center undertakes projects that will facilitate
development of and access to information about Federal regulatory and
deregulatory activities. It accomplishes this by gathering and publishing
information on Federal regulations and their effects on society. The Center
provides this information to the President, Congress, agency officials, and the
general public to help them better understand and manage the regulatory process.
The Center's principal publication is the Unified Agenda.
Since 1978, Federal agencies have been
required by Executive orders to publish agendas of regulatory and deregulatory
activities. The Regulatory Plan, which is published as part of the fall edition
of the Agenda, identifies regulatory priorities and contains additional detail
about the most important significant regulatory actions that agencies expect to
take in the coming year.
RegInfo.gov displays editions of the
Unified Agenda of Federal Regulatory and Deregulatory Actions beginning with fall 1995.

Health care exchange: Cost issues start to shape discussion
MONTPELIER Youre a married father of three, with a household income of $78,000 a year. Or a single mother with a teenager, pulling in around $40,000. Or a 22-year-old single fresh out of college, who just landed an entry-level position that pays in the upper 20s.
With all the upheaval in the world of health insurance, Vermonters of all stations face an uncertain future. But the answer to perhaps the most pressing question cost? has finally begun to arrive.
Policies sold on Vermonts federally mandated exchange, called Vermont Health Connect, wont kick in until next year. But the 100,00 or so residents who will be required to buy their insurance on the online marketplace can begin pricing policies now.
An online subsidy calculator unveiled Thursday by the Vermont Department of Health Access will provide Vermonters with a do-it-yourself mechanism for obtaining insurance quotes. The tool, online at www.VermontHealthConnect.gov, cant yet deliver a guaranteed price rates for policies sold in the exchange wont be finalized until early next month.
But the calculator can determine the dollar value of the federal subsidy for which a person or family is eligible, deduct that amount from projected policy costs, and deliver what state officials say is a pretty close estimate for out-of-pocket monthly premiums.
Vermonters are eager to learn more about the financial help that may be available to them when purchasing health insurance for 2014, Mark Larson, commissioner of the Department of Vermont Health Access, said in a statement. The online calculator provides Vermonters with the resources they need to estimate their 2014 health insurance costs today.
That father of three? Eligible for a monthly subsidy of $754, and an estimated monthly premium of between $250 and $959, depending on the quality of the plan.
The single mom, meanwhile, is looking at a subsidy of $627, and monthly premiums between $63 and $549.
And no subsidies for the new grad, who would face premiums of anywhere between $357 and $609 per month.
Legislation passed in 2012 requires individuals and businesses with fewer than 50 employees about a sixth of the states population to purchase health insurance from the exchange. The subsidy calculator online now is useful only to those buying as individuals, since workers whose companies retain an employer-sponsored plan wont be eligible to draw down federal subsidies.
But the exchange could change the economics of health insurance for many businesses that now underwrite a company plan, and even people now receiving insurance through an employer could find themselves buying as individuals before next year.
For some employers, its going to make sense for them to drop coverage because it will be more advantageous for their individual employees to take advantage of financial assistance in the exchange, says Emily Yahr, outreach and education manager at DVHA. For others, its going to make sense to continue to contribute.
Whether an employer continues to offer insurance, Yahr says, will hinge largely on the scope of the subsidies available to its employees. If an employee can secure for $11,000 a year a plan for which his or her employer would otherwise pay $14,000, then the business may decide to drop its plan, and give the unspent cash to workers to offset the costs theyd incur as a result.
In about two weeks, according to Yahr, the state will roll out an equivalent calculator for businesses, to help them crunch the numbers. But companies may have difficulty pinning down how their employees would fare in the exchange as individuals, since subsidies are based on household income.
That will force conversations between employers and their workers about income from spouses and partners, conversations Yahr hopes will be initiated with the availability of the calculator.
For the thousands of Vermont businesses facing exchange-related decisions, time is getting short.
The exchange will begin selling policies on Oct. 1. Yahr says the Department of Vermont Health Access will ramp up its outreach as the deadline nears. The website that hosts the calculator also includes a schedule of informational meetings that will be held around the state in the coming weeks and months.

March 20, 2013 —
UPPER DELAWARE RIVER VALLEY — While Mother Nature dumped several inches of snow on the region on March 19, the snowfall for the season was a bit less than normal, according to the National Weather Service. The weather service keeps records on the average amount of snowfall for select cities, and for Binghamton, NY, which is the closest such city to the Upper Delaware River Valley, the average snowfall for the months of December, January and February is 57.1 inches. For the same period this year, the total was 49.2 inches.
By comparison, in Central Park in New York City the normal amount of snowfall for the three-month period is 21 inches. This year, the total was 14 inches.
Locally, the forecast calls for lower than average temperatures for the next couple of weeks, but the outlook going forward predicts the probability for higher than normal temperatures in the region. While drought conditions persist in some parts of the country, the precipitation outlook for this region calls for an average amount of rain.

Just because it is a 12B car doesn't mean it was finished that same week.. I feel like the rear is definitely possible for that car. Of course without papers it will be a useless discussion..

100th Post
I figured this was a fairly big milestone, not only in this blog, but in my life as well.
I know there are a decent amount of people that read this blog. I have fun writing it and I hope all of you reading it are having fun too. I've gotten comments from fans across the country, my neighbors, family, friends, random acquaintainces who say they enjoy it. It makes me feel good, real good. Even though the Pirates really aren't on the must see list for anyone these days I take great pride in sharing my thoughts and feelings about my favorite team to the world.
In honor of the accomplishment here are a list of some notable milestones in Pirates history.
Most Triples in a season:36
This feat was completed in 1912 by a guy by the name of Chief Wilson. Very sweet name and possibly what I will name my first born son. I'm sure my future wife will have something to argue about that. But anyway I know absolutely nothing about Wilson from my time studying Pirates lore. The 36 Triples are still a Pirates and major league record.
Most Homeruns in a season:54; Most Walks in a Season:137
Ralph Kiner is a name not always held that highly in Pittsburgh sports history. The guy was a big bopper back in the 40's and 50's. He was a feared hitter at the plate and was always a power threat. I always thought Willie Stargell would be the single season homerun record holder but Kiner owns that accomplishment when he belted 54 in 1949. For being such a strong hitter he was often avoided and pitched around. A unique statue of Kiner stands inside PNC Park near the left field bleachers. It is unique in that there is no bust of body of the Kiner scupure. It is a rendition of his hands gripping the bat.
Games Played: 2433
This record is held by two players, two players that signify what it means to be a Pittsburgh Pirate. Ralph Kiner and Roberto Clemente. The "Flying Dutchman" is said to be the greatest shortstop to ever play the position. He was a staple as an elite player back in the very early 1900's. He and Ty Cobb were always in a battle for batting supremacy with Wagner getting the upperhand. Roberto Clemente needs to introduction. He was the first Latin born player to really make an impact in baseball. He was an awesome outfielder with lightning quick speed and a rocket for an arm. At the plate he could hit for power and get on base. He was a rare breed and really the first of many 5 tool players to come.
Hit By Pitch: 172
One of my first memories of Pirates baseball was going to games at Three Rivers Stadium. It was a large sphereical trash dump located just steps from PNC Park. However, I loved going to games there. I always remember looking up at the jumbotron high above the seating bowl and seeing a billboard advertisement for the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette. Within the ad was a large picture of Jason Kendall. From then on I knew he was high profile and the face of 1990's Pittsburgh baseball. He was always scrappy and played all out every game. In the backyard I tried to replicate his batting stance leaning over the plate and sticking elbows out. He always wore a pad on his arm for great reason-he would always get plunked.
Career Home Runs: 475; Career RBI:1540; Extra Base Hits in a Season; 90
The Pirates "Sultan of Swat" went by the nickname- Pops. Willie Stargell was the Captain of the teams in teh 1970's. He was a fearless leader and captain of charisma. He was a presecence on the field and off and always felt the love Pittsburghers showed him. At the plate he always knew how to come through in the clutch and give the Bucs the W. It would have been great seeing him play on those legendary Pirate's clubs of the 70's. Plus I would have loved to see this. A must have collectible for all Pittsburgh fans. It seems that history does repeat itself. 1979-Steelers and Pirates=World Champs. 2009-Steelers and Penguins=World Champs/
Opening up the Pirates vault was a great flashback to the glory days. I can only hope more legends will come about and the storied history of the Pirates will continue in years to come.
In regards to my previous post about becoming a Mariners supporter, progress is being made.
At Gabriel Brothers, the off-price warehouse store for misfit clothing and other appearal I bought a Mariners jacket.
It was a great purchase for only 15 dollars. It is Stitches brand and looks like great quality. It fits perfectly too and I like the way I look in it. Believe me if they had a Pirates I would have bought it but there was just a Mariners, Cardinals and Tigers in this style. I figured fate must have landed down upon me. The day I bought the jacket the M's beat the Yankees too. So to all Seattle fans out there, you're welcome!

Haha, thanks for commenting, I see your decision is made. Don't worry I like the Indians, Cavs, and Browns, I am not fair weather.🙂 Go Mariners. Haha good luck matt
Congratultions on #100! and you started in March! I started in February.
When I was at PNC last year I took lots of pictures including my hands around that bat! And I love Willie Stargel. Did you know that Willie Stargel is the only player that has hit two homeruns out of Dodger Stadium? He was also the first player to do it. Only two other players have hit one out of Dodger Stadium.
Oooo. Congrats on 100. I'll have to look to see if I'm getting close to that. I don't want to blow by it and not take a second like you did to breathe it in.
Oh, and 36 triples!? Are you kidding!? By a guy named "Chief"? Doesn't get cooler than that.
Nice jacket, it sure fits you well. Congrats on your 100th post, and you did a nice job commemorating interesting facts about the Pittsburgh Pirates. Roberto Clemente and Honus Wagner are probably the best players historically to play for the Prates.
Matthew Tang
Congrats on the 100th post. Yesterday we reached our 500th so I know what it means. Very cool. Thanks for the Stargell memory too. Loved him back in the day…. and no wonder Kendall is so scrappy… having been hit so many times😉
*Congratulations man… It's great to see people sticking to their updates and being committed. There was a poll today on YES about "the greatest shortstop of all time" – and by an enormous margin, Jeter was crowned the king. I think that's bologne considering Honus Wagner made the list, and these two players were active in an entirely different era of baseball. One of my favorite things about the Pirates is their history, (which so many people tend to forget.) Pittsburgh is an OLD TEAM, and they definently don't get the major league respect they deserve…
Congrats on the 100th post…and great history lesson on the Pirates…and they crushed the Brewers last night…
Outside the Phillies looking In
Matt: 100th post! Quite an accomplishment! CONGRADULATIONS!
I don't get how you can just "become" a Mariners fan, it's kind of random, but cool. They did beat my Yanks on my birthday when you became a fan of them. Nice jacket, by the way! -Virginia
This post made me check how many blogs I've posted… I've made 217 friggin posts. That's a ton. haha Too bad I'm not in the top 50………. I like the new threads though.
Congrats on your 100th post! & Thank you.(: It's a good thing you seem to feel imtimidated by the Tribe, in my opinion. :} – http://tribechick.mlblogs.com/ -TC
Wow…100 posts in such a short time? That's pretty impressive!
Ralph Kiner was a Mets announcer a while ago. I knew he was a great player, but I didn't really know how great. That's pretty neat!
Congratulations on 100. I enjoy your blog, one of my favorites, as a matter of fact. As usual, very nice post.
You look quite nice in the Mariners jacket. Too bad you didn't pick the Dodgers, you would look terrific in Dodger blue.
Congrats on the 100th post. Nice jacket too, I would like one myself. Let's see how it holds up on winter days though… LOL we would need that in Boston!
Congratulations on the 100th post! And its a clever way to commemorate it, talking about some of the history of the team. Also, good luck with your new AL team as well haha
Congrats on the 100th post. To bad they didn't have a Indians Jacket..lol
You've obviously gotten more than enough of this, but congratulations on your 100th entry!!! That most definitely IS a milestone and you should be proud! Love it!
But you're mostly my favorite because of that last picture right there :] You bought a Mariners jacket!!!! For $15?! What the heck?! Go back and buy me one too, those cost a fortune!!!!! And like you said, I owe you a thank you for buying that jacket…I'm sure that's why the M's won against the Yankees that night! We needed it and obviously the M's were ecstatic that a non-M's fan bought M's paraphernalia :] You're awesome! Oh…and P.S, can you buy a cap tomorrow and then maybe a t-shirt the day after? Thanks. xoxo http://diamondgirl55.mlblogs.com
Congrats on the 100th! Nice jacket…let's see if it gives them any luck.🙂
Congrats on the 100th Matt. And the M's, you still have time to change haha.🙂 The Indians live right by you, just go watch a game and then decide?🙂
Congratulations on your 100th – Have been enjoying reading your entries all summer from here in Hawaii – It been fun reading of your adventures cheering on the Pirates and vising places like the Four Corners. – Good luck going back to school – Aloha Todd
Congrats in 100.
Looking forward to 250th, 500th, 1,000th post too.
It might take some time, but you got it in you. A lot of great history hidden within that franchise.
You are doing a great job, just keep up the pace and you will be there before you know it.

hey, man, i'm a little late on this one, but great Mariners jacket. good purchase, man!

Skip to comments.Gingrich hints he may drop from race this week (No, he didn't)
Posted on 04/23/2012 7:38:13 PM PDT by VinL
Newt Gingrich hinted he may withdraw from the presidential race if he has a poor showing in the Delaware primary Tuesday
"I think we need to take a deep look at what we are doing...We will be in North Carolina tomorrow night and we will look and see what the results are."
"This has been a good opportunity for us, we have been here seeing a lot of people, Gingrich said. We have got really positive responses and I would hope we would do well here either carry it or come very, very close."
..."Romney is clearly the frontrunner but that doesn't mean he is inevitable. It is very dangerous for frontrunners to start behaving like they are inevitable because the voters might decide thats not so true. Frankly, I think it is a mistake for Romney to kick-off his general election campaign tomorrow in New Hampshire. He has about half the votes he needs to be nominated."
Speculation remains high that Gingrich will exit the GOP race this week, especially he rescheduled his trip to North Carolina several times.
Gingrich's future hinges on Delaware
The Speaker heads to North Carolina tomorrow for a tour of the Billy Graham Library. The campaign also added an "election night rally" in the Charlotte area, which Gingrich has not held since late February.
As Gingrich remains in the race, his Secret Service detail remains alongside him. As questions are raised about the cost to taxpayers while the Speaker continues campaigning with an entourage of agents, Gingrich says he sees no problem with it and finds it "goofy" that people question if he should get rid of the detail.
"I mean, I am a candidate. We have exactly what we are legally...
(Excerpt) Read more at firstread.msnbc.msn.com ...
Newts had to fly under the radar for the last month. But, tomorrow night, hes scheduled a kick-off event in NC. I hope it means that he expects to win Delaware- and that hes back in open opposition to Romney in NC.
His Pac has squirreled away $6M- and wouldnt be surprised if the Adelsons dont pop for another $5M in April so long as Newt has a chance.
Next month could be the most fun we Newsters have had since January.
Im in, til Newts out.
Feel it's like beating a dead horse.
They keep hoping he'll drop out.
I keep hoping he won't.
Speaking of Delaware, I think he may have a fairly decent chance of winning it. While the state as a whole is pretty Blue, the rank-and-file Republicans are pretty conservative. They're the same folks who nominated Christine O'Donnell over Mike Castle. Hopefully, the breakdown of RINOs to conservatives will be about the same tomorrow, and give Newt a much needed win!
What the hell is wrong with p[eople.
Are they friggin blind
Romney is crap. If he beats Obama what have we got? Crap.
When Santorum started to win several states, calls for Newt to withdraw were rebutted on the ground that if he did that, Romney would surely get to the magic number before Tampa. As it is now, Santorum has suspended his campaign. Wouldnt the same logic, Romney would get the nomination sooner than Tampa since some of the supporters of the withdrawn candidate would go to him, apply here?
I'm with you. I think he's going to surprise everyone in May and June.
To the extent that I understand your question- yes- it would have been better for both Rick and Newt to have continued to double team Romney.
Yes, Romney split the conservative vote— but viable candidacies from Rick and Newt would have split Romney's money.
Neither Rick or Newt could compete with Romney one on one New- they had to act in concert
I never believe a word the media says about anything. The only time I do believe is when it comes from Newts mouth. The media can go to &*%^!!
Stick with it Newt!!
Thanks for the reply. Now we just have to wait how big the migration from Santorum to Romney is. Tomorrow we might get the answer.
The lamestream media is constantly translating what Newt says into stuff he didn't say. Newt has said over and over that he is in it all the way to Tampa. Period. He is tatooing on Brian Williams' forehead right now.
Prediction- Romney gets most of Rick's vote- for now.
If Newt can draw it out into May- I think that changes.
Brian Williams should be forced to get a NEWT ALL THE WAY TO TAMPA tatoo on his forehead for reporting another false story.
Lies, lies and more damn lies.
I'm voting for NEWT tomorrow!!!! Proud to do so too!
I can't write what I really want to say about the media, I'm already having to ask the Lord to forgive me for thinking it!!!!!
Well this may be why Santorum's held out his delegates....had he given them to Newt it would have moved him along and certainly given the media heads up....but Romneys doing so many nasty dirty backstreet deals, and I will add Santorums in it with him, that the whole thing worse than stinks.
Newts had to fly under the radar for the last month. But, tomorrow night, hes scheduled a kick-off event in NC. I hope it means that he expects to win Delaware- and that hes back in open opposition to Romney in NC.
His Pac has squirreled away $6M- and wouldnt be surprised if the Adelsons dont pop for another $5M in April so long as Newt has a chance.
Next month could be the most fun we Newsters have had since January.
Newts'NC video-
Im in, til Newts out.
Newt said he will reassess after DE, and before NC. What candidate wouldn't reassess after a primary day, like tomorrow.. and how does that get translated to hinting at dropping out... what if his reassessment portends that he is stronger now than he's been in awhile... In other words, no one knows...
Newt is tired, we are all tired. But this has been going on since Friday, first DE, NC and a friend of mine told me the rumor mill in TX is going crazy that he HAS already dropped out. it tells me Romney's crowd is worried and Newt isn't going away like they thought he would... They did the same thing to him in Nevada, remember?
Trust Newt. We have trusted him this far, we can going forth.
Santorum is still trying to divide the conservative vote. He is doing a lot of stealth stuff in PA, urging his supporters to vote for him there, and other places. And he is teaming up with Beck to get a christian conservatives movement going, to work down ticket, and vote for Romney, under the guise of working against Obama. I think he will put off endorsing Romney as long as he can.
What an opportunity he has missed, to deny his ego, get over his holier-than-thou self-righteous superiority, and do the right thing for his country.
Here's the cute thing: If Newt keeps doing well, the more Romney/GOP will press for Santorum to endorse Romney. And when Santorum does that, he is finished. And his supporters still supporting him against Romney will likely flock to Newt, as the santorum romneybots are already there. He is playing this cute little game, and believing his moment won't come. It will, and everybody will know what he's made of...
Santorum's doings need some exposure. I haven't a clue, but to be sure, it's all about whatever advantages Rick, as he ingratiates himself with the cabal in DC as he has thru' out his career, this time by pandering to the religious Right on behalf of the liberal. He wants on that ticket at all costs.
What they should have learned after nominating Christine O'Donnell is that losing with someone who represents your passions is still losing. If the TEA Party people had pushed a candidate more qualified and less confrontational than Christine O'Donnell but less liberal than Mike Castle, they might have won a Senate seat in a state that had been steadily Democrat for a long time. We probably wouldn't have wound up with someone who was perfectly conservative on every issue, but we would have picked up an important vote in the Senate for six years.
The REAL lesson from the Delaware Senate race in 2010 is that when the GOP-E doesn't get the candidate it wants, it will sabotage it's own party's chances. That's what the GOP-E did. They refused to support her campaign to any degree. They ran her down in the media. they even implicitly supported her Marxist opponent.
Christine O'Donnell's flaws as a candidate could have been dealt with. Every candidate who runs for their first major office needs to have coaching and counsel, but the politically experienced GOP-Ers refused to give her this.
Her conservatism isn't what killed her run. The GOP-E sabotage did.
And now this same crowd wants conservatives to support the guy that they've finagled into the nomination, often by underhanded means? I don't think so.
Well he got at least one vote today. From me.
He'll be gettin' a vote from me in an hour or so :-)
Would that be "speculation" within the NBC newsroom? ;-)
Gladly Presented Voter ID !
Rohrer for Senate
Marino for House
Absolutely true. Tried so to warn people. They knew he would pull the religious right via social issues. Dang shame this guy would not be seen as he is.
He's just waiting for Newt to drop out before he brings his delegates to Romney. This way he can "safe face" and claim Newt's not running.
LOL....Am off to vote for Newt and conservatives down the line here in Pa!
Go Newt Go!!!! It ain't over til Newt says it's over...and nobody's crossed that finish line yet!
This makes it pretty final.
Newt Gingrich plans to formally leave the Republican presidential race next Tuesday, senior campaign aides told Fox News, after struggling for months to turn around his sagging bid for the White House.
For several weeks, Gingrich staffers have been reviewing accounts and making preparations. Gingrich had been holding out hope for a strong performance at least in Delaware Tuesday night. Absent that, Gingrich decided to plan for his exit next week.
He will complete his North Carolina schedule this week, making it something of a goodbye tour while supporters, friends and family arrive from across the country for his departure from the race.
Earlier on the trail, Gingrich signaled Wednesday morning that he was preparing to drop out. Telling a breakfast gathering of county Republicans in North Carolina that it's clear Romney will be the nominee, Gingrich said the campaign is "working out the details of our transition" and will have more information in the coming days.
"I think you have to be honest at some point about what's happening in the real world as opposed to what you'd have like to have happened," Gingrich said, praising the front-runner's primary performances Tuesday night.
"This guy has worked for six years, put together a big machine, and has put together a serious campaign," he said. "I think obviously that I would be a better candidate, but the objective fact is that the voters didn't think that."
Gingrich said he plans to complete his campaign schedule in North Carolina, which runs through Friday, but "I want you to know that I've been coming here a long time as a citizen, I'm going to keep coming as a citizen, I have a schedule through the rest of the week as a citizen."
Gingrich said that he and Callista are still committed to going to Tampa, but made it clear that they would be attending as Romney supporters and not as spoilers for the nomination.
"I do think it's pretty clear that Gov. Romney is ultimately going to be the nominee and we're going to do everything we can to make sure that he is, in fact, effective and that we as a team are effective both in winning this fall and then, frankly, in governing," he said.
Yes it is final for Newt. I'm proud that he remained in as long as he did and with all the powers that be pushing against him. Romney spent $20+ Million against Newt ....we should start calling Newt the " 20 Million Dollar Man" just to rub it into Romney's face it cost him......and that very fact showed the length and breadth the power of money will go.
Im in, til Newts out.
Me too. But the last several posts indicate he is getting out next week. Say it isn't so.
Well, I'm very sad about Newt. :(
I'm not voting for Romney.
The GOP e can shove it.
Right there with you.
No Romney, No way.
I remain praying for Divine Intervention.
Nothing is set in cement.
A lot can and will happen between now and the convention.
that's true; I remain in prayer, like you. :)

Legislation of Interest and Proposed Rules Changes
Rule 2.6 and Comment of proposed Code of Judicial Conduct
Please review the relevant portions of Rule 2.6, Comment 2. If you have any comments on the position the Government Counsel Section should take, please send your comments to Section Chair Robert Mack at email@example.com or to CBA Staff Liaison Melissa Nicoletti at email@example.com BEFORE WEDNESDAY, SEPTEMBER 30, 2009. Mr. Mack will then evaluate any comments and provide the position of the Section to the CBA staff.
Rule 2.6: Ensuring the Right to Be Heard
Memorandum to Appellate Practice Subcommittee from Judge Dan Taubman dated August 18, 2009 Supporting the proposed changes to Rule 2.6
Memorandum to Appellate Practice Subcommittee from Judge J.R. Webb dated June 29, 2009, Opposing the proposed changes to Rule 2.6
To: CBA Sections and Committees
From: CBA Staff
We write to all sections and committees to vet an issue that unfortunately has a very short fuse. We are asking sections and committees to respond to this email no later than Friday, October 2 at the close of business.
The Litigation Section of the CBA has taken a position on Comment 2 of Rule 2.6 of the proposed Colorado Code of Judicial Conduct. The next step in the CBA process is to take that position to the CBA Executive Council but before that council takes action, we need to hear from you. Attached you will find the relevant portions of Rule 2.6, Comment 2. This particular rule is one of many found in the 151 page rewrite of the Code of Judicial Conduct; the entire report is available upon request. Also attached are materials that the Litigation Section reviewed as part of their decision making process (the three documents are: 1) Proposed Rule 2.6 "Ensuring the right to be heard," 2) support for the rule as drafted, and 3) opposition to the rule as drafted.
To help narrow your focus, much of the controversy is around the introductory language found in Comment 2, "Notwithstanding Colorado caselaw to the contrary." Two Court of Appeals judges, Dan Taubman and John Webb "argued" their respective positions to the Litigation Section. Judge Taubman is in favor of the Rule and Comment 2 as presented while Judge Webb is opposed to the introductory clause of the proposed comment, "Notwithstanding Colorado caselaw to the contrary . . ." If anyone has any questions they should email Judge Taubman and Judge Web so that both judges have an opportunity to respond: Judge Taubman can be reached at firstname.lastname@example.com and Judge Webb can be reached at email@example.com.
Here is the statement/position from the Litigation Section regarding Comment 2 to Code of Judicial Conduct Rule 2.6.
"The Litigation Council, representing the Litigation Section, has been asked to review the proposed Comment 2 to Code of Judicial Conduct Rule 2.6. The Council recommends strongly against adoption of the proposed comment as written and recommends strongly against using a rule or a comment in the Code of Judicial Conduct to overrule or modify Colorado common law. The Council believes any action by a Colorado judge must be subject to appeal according to applicable rules of procedure. The Council strongly opposes the language in the proposed comment which states, "Colorado law notwithstanding. . ." The Council appreciates the need to protect the rights of pro se litigants to be heard, and understands the need for further guidelines for trial judges to achieve this goal. The Council strongly believes any such guidance to be provided to trial court judges should be provided in the rules of procedure applicable to each practice and not in the Code of Judicial Conduct. Moved and seconded. Approved unanimously."
As stated above, we need your responses no later than Friday, October 2 at the close of business. Staff anticipates an Executive Council meeting in early October to determine a CBA position on this issue.
Please contact Greg Martin 303.824.5317 firstname.lastname@example.com or Michael Valdez 303.824.5309 firstname.lastname@example.com if you have any questions.

A while ago I was repairing my car. I had to remove a bolt. I opened my wrench kit and tried to find the right socket. None of them worked. The bolt was metric. I used the socket that was the closest to the ideal size. That was a bad idea; I stripped the bolt and I had to buy a special tool to remove it. The moral of the story: always use the right tool for the right job.
Eclipse is an extremely popular Java Integrated Development Environment (IDE) and a strong competitor to NetBeans/SunOne Studio, JBuilder, and IntelliJ IDEA. The Java programmer community is rapidly moving towards Eclipse, as it is free, open source, of excellent quality, and extremely customizable.
This new monthly column is about writing plugins in Eclipse. Who is this column for? Many Eclipse users simply use the IDE out of the box without needing customization. Many will be using plugins made by other people. That is not the target audience of this column. Some Eclipse users will want to customize it. Some will develop tools for their company's employees. Some will want to sell tools that connect to their products. Some will want to resell Eclipse under another name with these tools pre-installed. These people constitute the target audience. The prerequisites for starting to write Eclipse plugins are knowing how to use Eclipse and write Java programs, and having a good understanding of the Standard Widget Toolkit (SWT) and Swing.
In this first installment of the column, let's explore the Eclipse plugin environment.
If you use Eclipse 3 already, you can skip this paragraph. If you don't, you first want to download and install it. This is done easily by downloading the latest stable version from the Eclipse downloads page and then unzipping this file into a folder, such as c:\dev. At the time this was written, it is the file eclipse-SDK-3.0.1-win32.zip (85MB download). This will create the folder c:\dev\eclipse.
Notice under this folder there's a folder named plugins. A quick peek and you will see dozens of already-installed plugins. Why is that? Because the core of Eclipse is relatively small; almost everything is a plugin.
Eclipse is made of a small core, with many plugins layered on top. Some plugins are nothing more than libraries that other plugins can use. These are the many tools at your disposal for the job. The base libraries used by all plugins are:
Each of these has its specialty, and some can be used independently (although they may be internally dependent on others). For example, SWT doesn't have to be only used for plugins; it can be used to create non-Eclipse, standalone applications (for more on SWT, see SWT: A Developer's Notebook). There are other libraries not listed here as well.
Figure 1 shows the relationship between the different layers of Eclipse.
Figure 1. Layered libraries
By default, the two graphical-oriented libraries, Graphical Editor Framework (GEF) and Draw2D are not installed. We will need those in future articles, so let's install them. To download GEF and Draw2D, go to GEF's home page and click on Download, build 3.0.1 or later, then save the file GEF-SDK-3.0.1.zip (5.5MB). Unzip it into the Eclipse folder. This is the folder that contains the plugins subfolder. Yes, these two libraries also come in the form of plugins themselves.
What do these libraries provide? They form the base upon which you can create graphical plugins. Graphical plugins usually show objects like boxes and labels, linked together by lines and arrows. The drawing of these objects and connectors is handled by Draw2D. But drawing is just half of what a graphical editor does. The other half--editor commands, toolbars, drag-and-drop functionality, printing, etc.--is done by GEF.
Once everything is installed, the next step is to customize or at least get familiar with the plugin configuration options. These show up in the menu Window -> Preferences, under the category Plug-in Development. Explore the dozens of configuration options that are specific to plugins. In particular, you may want to have a look at the Target Environment category. This allows you to choose your default operating system, windowing system, CPU architecture, and language.
Also interesting is the Plug-in Development perspective. (A perspective is a set of view preferences including panes, views, toolbars, etc., targeted at a certain task; think of it as a "mode" in Eclipse.) This is available by going to the menu Window -> Open perspective -> Other, and choosing "Plug-in Development" from the list. This is similar to the Java perspective, but has a Plug-in view that displays all detected plugins. Figure 2 illustrates how to activate the perspective, and shows the perspective itself.
Figure 2. Plug-in Development perspective
The easiest way to create a plugin is by using the templates provided in the File -> New -> Plug-in Project wizard. Then enter a project name, like "Invokatron." What's that you'll say? The plugin we're going to build is the Invokatron, a code-generation graphical editor for Java code. This article will clear the path for Invokatron, but obviously this ambitious project won't be finished until a later installment.
On the next page, keep the defaults except for the class name. Enter
invokatron.InvokatronPlugin. In the Plug-in Content page, enter any information that you see fit. In the Templates page, select the checkbox to enable templates. There are many templates to choose from:
The wizard has a detailed description of all these choices. My favorite template is the Custom one, as you can mix and match what elements you'll be using. Note that there's a Plug-in Development category as well, with more choices (Feature, Feature patch, Fragment, Plug-in, Update site). These are used for more advanced contraptions that we'll discuss another day.
For this example, use the Customized Plug-in template. Select Multi-page editor, New File Wizard, and Property Page. On the next pages, enter the following values:
"Multi-Page Editor" page (see Figure 3)
Invokatron Editor
Figure 3. Multi-page editor settings
"New Wizard" page (see Figure 4)
Invokatron Wizard
Invokatron Wizard
Figure 4. New wizard settings
Property Page (see Figure 5)
Invokatron Properties
Figure 5. Property page settings
Eclipse generates a number of files at this point:
invokatron/*.java: Plugin classes.
The plugin.xml file shows up in a multi-page editor, together with build.properties. The first page, Overview, allows you to export and run the plugin in a test environment. To export means to complete the plugin by generating some code, and then to compile and package it for release. We'll get to that soon.
Upon study of the
InvokatronPlugin class, you will notice that it doesn't do much. Where's the code that adds the menu item? The framework simply generates the needed code from the information in the plugin.xml file. Have a look at this file now. The last section contains a list of extensions, which are places in Eclipse where classes can be "plugged in."
The produced project is part of the sample code, which is available in the Resources section.
You can test your plugin in a special sandbox called the runtime workbench. This way, even if the runtime workbench gets corrupted, Eclipse still works. This is available in the Overview page by clicking on either the link "Launch a runtime workbench" or "Launch a runtime workbench in Debug mode." The first time you run the runtime workbench, the folder eclipse\runtime-workbench-workspace is created. A new Eclipse instance is started. It is exactly like the normal Eclipse window, except now your plugin is available.
But first create a Java project from the menu File -> New -> Project and select Java Project. The name of the project should be
Test. Figure 6 shows the runtime workbench with the wizard and editor we created.
Figure 6. Running the plugin
Now let's have a look at the Invokatron wizard. This is visible from the menu File -> New -> Other. Look at the category Invokatron Wizard. Select Invokatron Wizard and click Next. This wizard creates an empty Invokatron document. Select the Test project in the Container field and click Finish. A new Invokatron editor shows up. This editor has three pages: a text editor page, a Properties page (font selection), and a Preview page (sorted words, drawn with the selected font).
In the few next articles of this column, we'll add graphical widgets and Java code generation to our plugin.

Eclipse Cookbook
There are many places where you can specify what files are required for your plugin to compile and run. This makes things confusing for us Eclipse users. Let's try to clarify some of these issues.
Supporting files come in three categories:
The compilation environment can be set up in the Build page of the plugin editor. Again, this maps to the build.properties file. This page may be confusing at first, as it has four separate sections:
If your plugin uses a special library, make sure you add it to your project. Then add it to the Source Build and the Extra Classpath Entries.
Other important pages in the plugin editor are:
These are more advanced and will be covered in another article.
Once the plugin is coded, and tested in the workbench, it is ready to be deployed to the "real" Eclipse environment. To do this, go to the Overview page and click on the Export Wizard link. The Export Options box allows you to choose among three types of deployments:
Once you click on Finish, the selected output is produced. If you elected to export as a directory structure, you'll have to restart Eclipse for the plugin to take effect.
The best source of information about writing Eclipse plugins is the set of many plugin examples that are provided with it. If I had to choose a single source of information to help me write Eclipse plugins, this would be it.
To download these plugins, simply go to the Eclipse downloads page and select the latest version of Eclipse. Then go to the middle of the page, where it says "Example Plug-ins," and download the .zip file (less than 2MB). Unzip this into the folder where Eclipse is located, such as c:\dev, for example. This will create many folders under the folders eclipse/features and eclipse/plugins. The source code for these examples is located in numerous .zip files in the folder C:\dev\eclipse\plugins, listed below.
Editor's Note: we have inserted line breaks in these paths to accommodate the page layout. Each should be all on one line, without spaces, in your work.
|Code Location
|SWT examples
|In the folder
|Special folder:
|Workbench Examples
|Help example
|Special folder
(There's no Java here; the HTML is in doc.zip)
|Team examples
|File compare examples
There are also useful examples of GEF and Draw2D plugins. To get those, go to the GEF page and click on the latest version. Then locate "GEF Examples" in the middle of the Release Build page. Download the .zip file. At the time this was written, it was the file GEF-examples-3.0.1.zip (.5MB). Unzip this into the folder where Eclipse is located (for example, C:\dev). You will see two examples:
|Code Location
The first place to look is the examples the previous section. Secondly there's the help system, which is of good quality. This is in menu Help -> Help Content. The relevant categories are:
You now have enough information to create amazing, graphical plugins for Eclipse. With so many libraries at your service, only your imagination limits what you can do. The secret is to know what tools are at your disposal and to use the right tool for the right job. In the coming articles of this series, we will explore more areas of plugin development: menus, wizards, dialogs, GEF, Draw2D, etc.

Packing House getting a new look, with updated menu in new year
Chris Wiken, the general manager of the south side steakhouse the Packing House, decided it was time to update its "frozen in time" look, circa mid-1980s to early 1990s. The result is a complete overhaul of the interior's decor that's nearly complete. And an updated menu from its new chef is due in the new year.
It's one of several long-time restaurants -- including Crazy Water in Walker's Point and Cafe LuLu in Bay View -- that have updated their dining rooms in fall and winter this year. »Read Full Blog Post(1)

But this year, DJ Riko's given me a double-shot of joy: his 2012 Mixmas includes a track from "Christmas With the Ghostly Trio," a 1980s delight that I once owned on cassette. Riko nestles the Trio's saxy take on "Angels We Have Heard on High" between Devo's "Merry Something to You" and Me First and the Gimme Gimmes' "Hava Nagila (Christmas Arrangement)," followed by the Nat King Cole rarity "Mrs. Santa Claus." »Read Full Blog Post
