Supreme Court of Colorado
c/o Mr. Mac V. Danford
Clerk of the Supreme Court
Two E. 14th Avenue
Denver, CO 80203
Re: Proposed New C.R.C.P. 16.1 and Proposed Repeal of C.R.C.P. 26.3
Dear Honorable Justices of the Supreme Court of Colorado:
I am the current chair of the Litigation Section of the Colorado Bar Association. Upon seeing the request for input on proposed rule 16.1, I sent a request for comment to the membership of the Litigation Section. On the afternoon of August 21, the Section's governing council met to review the numerous comments received from Section members and to discuss the council's thoughts on the proposed rule. Several members of the council also held a telephone conference with Richard Holme on August 25 to try to better understand the reasoning of the Rules Committee and the genesis of the proposed rule 16.1. Based upon all of this information, the Litigation Section council has voted with unanimity to oppose this proposed rule, for the reasons explained below.
First, as reflected in some of the feedback we received from section members, we do not believe that this proposed rule is necessary or that it will really solve any perceived problems with cost and/or timely access to the courts. We feel very strongly that the majority of attorneys fully advise their clients of the costs of civil litigation and make informed decisions about the scope of necessary discovery, as tailored to the needs of a particular case. In fact, well-taken depositions of key parties or witnesses, and/or discovery of key documents which are often not voluntarily disclosed initially, are most often what lead to cases being settled prior to trial. In other words, reliable information about the other side's case and an opportunity to assess witness credibility is what allows reputable lawyers to properly evaluate a particular case and advise their clients accordingly. Proposed rule 16.1 takes away this very valuable litigation tool, seemingly in response to the very small minority of attorneys and their clients that have used discovery as a weapon. Rules should never be fashioned for disreputable lawyers who practice in the minority.
During our review of this issue, we also pondered why, if this rule was so necessary, the Committee simply did not amend Rule 26.3 and change its application to cases up to $100,000. We were advised by Richard Holme that the Committee deemed Rule 26.3 to be unworkable, in part due to the costly mandatory ADR provisions. When asked why not just delete the ADR provisions and change the limit, we were advised that it would still be unworkable because attorneys have so seldomly utilized this rule. That is exactly our point. As discussed above, there are valid reasons why attorneys, in consultation with their clients, do not use this rule: because effective discovery works. We do not see proposed Rule 16.1 changing this fact, and we expect the vast majority of civil litigators to opt out of the rule if it is adopted in its current form and over these objections. Accordingly, we, on behalf of the CBA Litigation Section, most strongly urge that proposed Rule 16.1 not be adopted.
If, however, adoption of this Rule is already a foregone conclusion, we urge the Court to take a hard look at several of its provisions. First and foremost, we have serious concerns about the fact that attorneys and clients must "opt out" of the rule as opposed to "opting in" to the rule. We believe that this unnecessarily sets up the innocent, uninformed attorney or pro se party for potential error. It also builds in additional cost to a civil action at an early stage of the proceeding for the majority of litigating parties who will opt out of this rule's application and have to go through the hassle of filing additional documents with the Court in order to do so in every instance.
In addition, we are very opposed to the provision that requires a client to sign off on the decision to opt out of the Rule. Again, this is not necessary, it is paternalistic and it appears to take aim at the very small number of attorneys who the Committee must presume would not consult with their clients on this issue. The council and several members of the Section are sincerely concerned about this provision and what appears to be a building trend toward requiring clients to sign pleadings more and more often. As discussed above, you cannot make rules based upon the minority and attempt to legislate behavior, and this is exactly what this proposed Rule attempts to do.
In short, the Litigation Section council is strongly opposed to proposed Rule 16.1. If something of this nature is nevertheless deemed necessary, then we suggest that the Court raise the limit in current Rule 26.3 to $100,000, take out the mandatory ADR provisions, and take the time to get additional input from the Bar about problems people may be having with the existing rule. We most definitely prefer an "opt in" to an "opt out" provision. We all believe strongly that reasonable discovery is what in fact enables proper cases to be settled early. We are happy to participate and help with input, and would be more than willing to survey the membership of the Litigation Section for additional feedback.
We would like the opportunity to provide you with further thoughts on these issues at the hearing scheduled for September 11, 2003, and would ask that you place representatives of the Litigation Section on the roster of those who wish to address the Court at that time. In the meantime, I am enclosing a compilation of some of the comments that we received from Litigation Section members for you to consider as well.
Thank you for considering these comments in your analysis and discussion of proposed Rule 16.1. We look forward to discussing these issues further at the hearing.
Kimberly B. Schutt
Chair, CBA Litigation Section

Just imagine if Curry showed up and wanted to prove something (in other words, fight for one more contract).
Amar'e - Randolph - Curry would be basically unstoppable in the paint. HOw would you defend that?
BACK TO REALITY.... I think they will be times you play Amar'e & Stat together; there will be times when one is on the court and the other sits; and there will be the super-duper-go-big times when both are on the floor, with Turiaf, Gallo & Felton.
I think Randolph starts season on the bench. First guy to enter game, and our finisher. He may not start but will still play 33 minutes or so. Like Diaw, he'll guard PG through C. Roam baseline, freelance, and find his groove.
I think.... eventually (if all goes well), we'll start him with Felton, Galo, Amar'e and ? (Chandler or Azubuike).

Well, when I posted this, I was resigned to feeding him 3 oz. of formula. After tonight, I am resigned to giving up altogether. I just cannot take this screaming at my nipple every time I try to feed him like I'm forcing him to do something he doesn't want to do. It's breaking my heart and it's the most demoralizing experience of my life. I've never felt so inadequate, so incapable, and like such a failure in all my life.
I've fought to breastfeed for 6 months against skeptics and critics who didn't think I could - or needed to - do it. It's been my connection to my baby when I can't be with him during the day and our connection after a long days absence. It's the one thing I can give him that noone else can. And he just doesn't want it. Or me. Every time he does this, it makes me feel like I don't have a bond with him that I want so badly. It makes me want to retreat like I'm investing in this little being that isn't going to share the bond with me that I want to have with him.
It makes me sick to my stomach to stop after making this commitment to him and to myself and after investing 6 months and intending to go a year or longer - something I was so proud of.
I spent the whole night crying about this. I feel like I'm poisoning my child by not breastfeeding him but I feel like I'm dying inside everytime I have to go through the trauma of these episodes.

Back in the saddle (again)
March 8, 2012 —
For something completely different, a song springs to mind as I ponder the last weeks and all that has transpired. With almost two full months under my belt since being released from the hospital, languishing on the couch (which is now in a secret, undisclosed location) no longer seems like a viable option. Now that I have an Internet connection, my world has once again opened its doors and invited me to participate. So I bit the proverbial bullet and ventured forth—with help from others, of course!
It seemed only natural that my first foray into the Upper Delaware Valley should lead straight to the Dancing Cat (www.dancingcatsaloon.com), my home away fromhome. Having received a multitude of offers for rides to and fro, I gratefully accepted two (thank you, Gabby Allen and Jamie Aitken IV), put on my big boy pants (ouch) and shuffled off, determined to spend an hour or two with like-minded individuals, out to catch one of my favorite local bands: the New Kings (featuring Peter Florance).
According to their Facebook page, the New Kings "emerged from the Riff Kings, now a four-piece combo with Peter Florance on guitar, Cat Wilson on vocals, Don Knothe on upright bass and Josh Florance on drums. This new lineup has created a raw and upbeat band sound that can expand on Peter's guitar solos and explore new songs." Even though Wilson was MIA Saturday night (missed you, Cat!), the joint was jumpin' (as usual) and a steady stream of New Kings fans and admirers filled the dance floor as Florance, all-grown-up son Josh and bassist Knothe did their thing as only they can do.
We denizens of the Catskills are so fortunate to live in a region steeped in musical history, and Dancing Cat proprietor Stacy Cohen constantly strives (and succeeds, IMHO) to keep it alive via her posse of talented musicians, all of whom stream through the place enriching our lives with the sound of music.
As I held court in the center of the room, dozens of well-wishers stopped by to say hello and congratulate me for getting out ("I'm back in the saddle again/out where a friend is a friend"), providing me with a warm, fuzzy feeling that lingers. I allowed their sentiment to wash over me as I (finally!) broke out the "old .44" (I mean camera) and snapped away, feeling the familiar thrill of capturing the moment (Whoopi-ty-aye-yay!) for posterity.

February 24, 1993
Release # 93-045
PRODUCT: Approximately 9,100 "Wooden Christmas Toy Trucks," a set of six trucks (two dump trucks, a roller truck, a crane, a cement mixer, and a truck with a ladder). The trucks, model X4848, have a natural wood finish. Each truck has a non-removable peg driver with a painted-on face. PROBLEM: When CPSC tested the trucks, the drivers and other truck parts separated, presenting a potential choking hazard to young children. WHAT TO DO: Consumers are urged to take the trucks away from young children immediately and return them to the stores where purchased for a full refund. For more information, consumers may contact Charlotte Allison at 1-800-829-2647, ext. 3100. WASHINGTON, DC -- CPSC, Wang's International, Inc., of Memphis, TN, is voluntarily recalling approximately 9,100 "Wooden Christmas Toy Trucks," model number X4848. When CPSC tested the trucks, the drivers and other truck parts separated, presenting a potential choking hazard to young children. The Wooden Christmas Toy Trucks were sold as a set of six trucks (two dump trucks, a roller truck, a crane, a cement mixer, and a truck with a ladder). Each truck measures 5-1/2 inches long, two inches wide, 2-3/4 inches high, and has a natural wood finish with no paint. Each truck has a non-removable peg driver with a painted-on face. The label underneath each truck reads in part: "WANG'S INTERNATIONAL INC * * * MADE IN CHINA." The trucks, imported by Wang's International, Inc., were sold at retail stores nationwide from January 1992 through mid- December 1992 for a retail price of $3.99 per set. Consumers are urged to take the trucks away from young children immediately and return them to the stores where purchased for a full refund. For more information about this recall, consumers may contact Charlotte Allison at 1-800-829-2647, ext. 3100. Neither CPSC nor the company is aware of any injuries involving these trucks. This voluntary recall is being conducted to prevent the possibility of injury. The potentially hazardous toys were identified at the Port of Oakland, CA, during a joint CPSC/U.S. Customs surveillance program. CPSC is announcing this recall as part of its mission to protect the public from unreasonable risks of injury and death associated with consumer products. The Commission's objective is to reduce the estimated 28.6 million injuries and 21,700 deaths associated each year with the 15,000 different types of consumer products under CPSC's jurisdiction.
The U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission is charged with protecting the public from unreasonable risks of injury or death associated with the use of
thousands of types of consumer products under the agency's jurisdiction. Deaths, injuries, and property damage from consumer product incidents cost the
nation more than $1 trillion annually. CPSC is committed to protecting consumers and families from products that pose a fire, electrical, chemical or
mechanical hazard. CPSC's work to help ensure the safety of consumer products - such as toys, cribs, power tools, cigarette lighters and household
chemicals -– contributed to a decline in the rate of deaths and injuries associated with consumer products over the past 40 years.

Plainfield man guilty again in new plea agreement
BARRE A Plainfield man with 14 previous convictions has agreed to a deal on his most recent list of charges, including burglarizing a camp in Marshfield in September, which gives him the choice of completing treatment court or going to jail.
Louis N. Scott, 29, pleaded guilty to felony burglary, driving with a suspended license, four counts of violating conditions of release, possession of a narcotic, possession of marijuana and resisting arrest in Washington County criminal court Tuesday.
As part of the deal, Scott was given an option of door A or door B. Door A involves accepting the resisting arrest conviction with a one-year deferred sentence and completing treatment court, in which case all other charges would be dismissed.
If Scott quits treatment court or is kicked out, then he gets door B. That would convict him of all the charges he pleaded to Tuesday, and he would serve six months to five years in prison.
Scott awaits sentencing on the agreement until he is accepted into treatment court. Judge Thomas Zonay made sure Scott understood that if the deal does happen as constructed, then he cannot back out and change his pleas if treatment court does not work out.
According to the Vermont State Police affidavit for the burglary charge, Scott broke into a camp on Hardwood Mountain Road and stole several boxes of ammunition. Scott was caught by neighbors of the camp who blocked off the road so he couldnt drive away, police said.
After his arraignment on that charge, Scott was charged with several instances of violating conditions of release, including violating his curfew twice and having a hunting knife in November, and violating his curfew and possessing marijuana in separate incidents in December.
As a result of the plea agreement, five charges of violating conditions of release, a cocaine possession charge, and a charge of possession of marijuana were dropped.
Scott has previous convictions for grand larceny in 2005; driving with a suspended license in 2010, 2009, 2005 and 2004; contempt of court twice in 2008; marijuana possession in 2008; marijuana sale in 2007; leaving the scene of an accident in 2005; retail theft in 2004; attempt to elude in 2004; negligent operation in 2004; and driving under the influence in 2002.MORE IN Central VermontMIDDLEBURY According to WebMD, Dystonia is a movement disorder that causes a persons muscles ...

Yeah, yeah... Everyone who has dug out even a little tiny piece of information about black metal knows that Bathory was the pioneer for the genre. hail Quorthon and so on.
About the review on the other hand: Why 7,8? If you do some basic math, you'll get 8,5 for the average value. I'm not going for 9,5 - 10 here, but considering the fact that the album literally wrote the history of black metal, you give it the same value as a Cradle of Filth album has got from the users in here. Now that's something I'd call blasphemy. 8,5 - 9 would be more rational and justified. (preferably over 8,6 so that the CoF fanboys/-girls could slit their wrists).

Well, i think it's more "telling the truth" than making senseless wars with another bands ( as metallers, we must be united! ).
The album is good, influenced a lot of peoples and all, but i think it isn't "excellent" to be rated with 9. I rated the album with an 8, and with 7,8 in the review because i can rate it more carefully!

By Shantel Meek, Policy Advisor, Early Childhood Development
The beginning years of a child's life are critical for building the early foundation needed for success later in school and in life. Leading economists and educators agree that high-quality early learning programs can help provide students with the opportunities they need to progress in their development and be successful inside- and outside the classroom.
Though we know early education is important for all young children, it is especially critical for children with disabilities. The research is clear: early developmental screening, identification and intervention are most effective in the early years. Because of this, though the President's plan will benefit hundreds of thousands of young children, it has exponential promise for children with disabilities.
Making sure young children with disabilities have access to high quality early learning programs and assuring that early learning settings across the country foster an environment of inclusivity are priorities of this administration. Children with disabilities need high quality early learning opportunities in a safe and nurturing environment where they can learn and develop alongside their peers.
The Plan:
The Early Head Start-Child Care Partnerships
To expand high-quality early learning opportunities in the years before preschool, the President called for an investment in Early Head Start-Child Care Partnerships. These partnerships will support states and communities that expand the availability of Early Head Start and child care programs that can meet the highest standards of quality for infants and toddlers, serving children from birth to age 3. Partnership grantees will agree to meet Head Start standards and requirements, which will guarantee that at least 10 percent of program slots are filled with children with disabilities.
Extending and Expanding Evidence-Based, Voluntary Home Visiting Programs
President Obama has already committed $1.5 billion to expand home visitation to hundreds of thousands of children and families across all 50 states. The President will pursue substantial investments to expand these important programs to reach additional families in need. Learning in the natural environment is critical for young children with disabilities; an expansion of voluntary home visiting programs will allow more young children and their families, including those with disabilities, to receive support in children's first classroom: the home.
Providing High-Quality Preschool for 4-Year-Olds
The President's proposal will improve quality and expand access to preschool, through a cost sharing partnership with all 50 states. The partnerships will expand high-quality public preschool to reach all four-year olds from families at or below 200 percent of poverty. This bold expansion of Pre-K means that more 4-year-olds with disabilities will have access to high quality learning experiences where they can learn, play, and thrive alongside their peers.
In addition to these important benefits, an expansion in access to any of these programs means that more children will be screened and identified early and receive the services, supports and interventions they need to excel inside and outside the classroom. Finally, as a result of the Administration's continued work to build and connect early childhood systems through the Early Childhood State Advisory Councils, Race to the Top-Early Learning Challenge, and other major initiatives, infrastructure will be in place and efforts will be made to assure that the new early learning programs are tightly linked with existing services for children with disabilities and their families, including Part B 619 and Part C of the Individuals with Disabilities Education Act (IDEA).
Though there is still much work to be done, President Obama's Early Learning Proposal will bring our nation closer to providing a continuum of high quality early learning experiences to hundreds of thousands of children and families birth to school entry, preparing them to excel in school and beyond.

Madison Mayor Paul Soglin and Palo Alto Mayor Yiaway Yeh have agreed to a Rose Bowl wager.
The Pac-12 champion Stanford Cardinals call Palo Alto home. The eighth-ranked Cardinals and Wisconsin Badgers kick off on Jan. 1 at 4 p.m. in the 99th annual Rose Bowl.
The losing mayor will wear the opposing team's hat during a Common Council meeting, and will display the flag of the winning team for a day in January.
The losing city will organize a tree planting in honor of the winning team.
"Any city can benefit from additional trees, and we're delighted that Mayor Yeh and the city of Palo Alto are going to provide them," Soglin said in a news release. "I think it's great that we can have fun with the game and provide a benefit to a community and I'm confident Barry and the Badgers will come through for us."

Electric vehicle conversions?
HONESDALE, PA — Many laud the growing interest in electric cars, but do they want to drive one? Or even more, would they build one from their own gas-driven cars, as some are doing today?
That's what Sustainable Energy Education and Development Support (SEEDS) wants to find out before it is going to hold training workshops on converting people's gas guzzlers to electric.
SEEDS is a community-based organization in Northeastern Pennsylvania committed to developing a local renewable energy infrastructure and promoting more sustainable living. In the last two years, the group has held workshops that train mechanics to install photovoltaics, wind turbines and geothermal HVAC systems in local buildings. These events have been well attended, providing free information to over 800 residents of the area.
To achieve another level of sustainability, they may now turn to one of the prime polluter of all—the automobile. Automobiles may not reach the heights of pollution, a dubious distinction, as coal-driven power plants but they're right up there fighting for second or third place.
The meeting, held on June 21 at the Wayne County Conservation District office, was called "Electric Vehicle Conversion: Putting a Plug in Ordinary Cars, Tractors and Vans" and was attended by 25 people.
Speakers included Jenny Isaacs, whose nonprofit Bucks County Renewables Company sponsors EVC electric vehicle conversion (EVC) seminars and hands-on workshops through Bucks County Community College; Brandon Hollinger, owner of BH Electrics, a professional conversion shop in Lancaster, PA, who spoke on converting ordinary gas vehicles to electric plug-ins; John Conway, a Sullivan County automotive engineer and owner of Buzz Equipment of Sullivan County, who spoke on converting gas and diesel tractors and fleet vehicles, and Margaret Bakker and Rob Lewis of Shaverton, PA, who showcased their Prius plug-in that they have been driving for three years.
Bakker and Lewis's plug-in Prius, which stood outside the building, was being charged by means of a long yellow electric cord that was plugged into a normal electric outlet in the building.
"It has a normal Prius gas engine but switches to electricity much more frequently than normal because of the powerful lithium battery that gets charged regularly. It sits in the trunk were the spare tire used to be," said Lewis.
A typical midsized gas-powered car gets 24 miles to the gallon. The typical Prius model gets 47 miles to the gallon, but the couple's plug-in model gets 105 miles to the gallon, he said. The average yearly consumption of gas for the gas-powered car is 542 gallons, for the Prius it's 280 gallons a year, while the plug-in Prius consumes only 124 gallons a year. The couple found that the number of yearly trips to the gas station was 10 compared to 32 for the gas-powered car and 23 for the typical Prius.
"If any of you are interested in electric vehicle conversion, please let us know or if you know of others who would have such an interest," said Michele Sand, SEEDS co-founder. "We will be interested in holding training if we thought many would do it."
SEEDS can be reached at 570/224-0054, or the SEEDS new office at 1023 Main Street, Honesdale, PA 18431, 570/630-0592.

|What an awesome experience! Driving out to California from Texas is not as far as many Elite anglers had to endure so I was able to capitalize and spend some time sightseeing on the way. My wife and I visited Yosemite National Park .... WOW! What an amazing place. While in the park we made sure to visit the giant sequoia trees and hike around the Mariposa Grove area. I was in 'awe' over the nature and scenery on the west coast. It's something I hope everyone can experience. As far as the fishing ... the west has some awesome bass to catch. I was looking forward to getting after it and moving up...... Read More

|In the couple of weeks between the Sabine River event and Guntersville I managed to get out to pre-practice for the California Delta. I am really looking forward to that event and Lake Havasu. I feel like all of us Tour anglers have a lot to gain by fishing in the western United States. When I have events out west if feels like I compete on a true national tour and it keeps us from constantly fishing the eastern half of the U.S. Before the western swing kicks off though I wanted to share with you how Guntersville went.

As I mentioned in my previous blog I was able to take a sponsor of mine, Dixie Electric, fishing for a few days at 1000 Islands and boy did we have a blast!

Add a drop of
Did you enjoy last year's spectacular launch of Absolut Unique? Then say hello to its elegant successor Absolut Originality, which further explores the possibilities of creative bottle design. This limited collection features four million individually designed bottles, making every single one of them a one-of-a-kind piece of Absolut art.
Swedish Glass Crafts Revisited
Taking inspiration from traditional Swedish glass crafts, every bottle of Absolut Originality has a drop of cobalt blue infused into its glass. This colouring technique has been used for centuries in hand-made art glass, but never before has it been applied to create four million original bottles. Added just as the molten glass goes into the mould at 1100°C, the drop of cobalt blue streams down inside the glass creating a unique streak of blue. At that temperature the cobalt is invisible, but as the glass cools off, a beautiful and unique blue infusion appears.
A Celebration Of Original Thinking
Absolut has always experimented with new techniques, going off the beaten track to develop innovative and artistic products, and Absolut Originality is a celebration of the original thinking that has always been the brand's creed. Adding a sophisticated contrast to the crystal clear glass, the blue streak makes each bottle original and unmistakably Absolut.
Gourmet Junk Cocktails
Always seeking to bring cocktail culture in new unexpected directions, we have let a drop of originality seep into the collection of delectable cocktails created for Absolut Originality. Inspired by the fusion of street food and fine dining, the Absolut Originality Gourmet Junk Cocktails tap into a widespread affection for upscale, qualitative versions of lowbrow consumables. Including unexpected garnish such as shoestring liquorice or icicles in carefully crafted recipes creates playful, classy and delicious drinks.

Tough markets force further staff cuts at Tullett
Tullett Prebon is to reduce its headcount as part of new cost-cutting measures amid challenging market conditions for interdealer brokers so far this year.
London-based Tullett, which brokers large and complex derivatives trades between investment banks, said in an interim results statement today that its revenues had fallen 12% year-on-year to £248 million in the four months to the end of April.
The statement added: "In the light of the continuation of difficult market conditions a number of actions are being taken to further reduce headcount and other fixed costs. It is currently anticipated that this cost improvement programme will reduce annual fixed costs by around £20 million."
There is no indication of how many jobs will go but it is understood that the majority of cuts will come from a reduction in front-office staff in Europe and from a technology reorganisation as the company prepares for new derivatives trading rules under the US Dodd-Frank Act.
Interdealer brokers are under pressure from new trading rules which require derivatives that are typically traded over the phone to be traded on electronic platforms and processed through clearing houses. The rules have opened up interdealer brokers to competition from new types of firms.
At the same time, the retreat by investment banks in fixed income markets has also hit interdealer broker revenues.
The firm's statement also said that the outcome of legal action brought against BGC and former employees for mass poaching from Tullett in 2009 is expected to go to trial this autumn. The firm said that since January 1, the case incurred £3.1 million in costs.
Tullett also announced a $160 million deal to acquire PVM Oil Associates to help increase its presence in the energy sector and expand its data offering to include oil products.
PVM is an energy broker focused on international crude oil products, including OTC swaps, forwards and physical crude oil and refined products, and exchange-traded instruments. The firm's client base comprises major oil companies, independent refiners and producers, government agencies, trading houses, banks, investment funds and corporations.

Former President George W. Bush talks to a book store customer while signing a copy of his book Decision Points in Dallas, Texas, Nov. 9, 2010.

"Delusion Points"
Op-Ed, Foreign Policy
November 8, 2010
Author: Stephen M. Walt, Robert and Renée Belfer Professor of International Affairs; Faculty Chair, International Security Program
Belfer Center Programs or Projects: International Security
Don't fall for the nostalgia George W. Bush's foreign policy really was that bad.
Two years into Barack Obama's presidency, it has become a cliché to observe that the newish president, who spent his 2008 campaign promising a U-turn from his deeply unpopular predecessor's activities abroad, has ended up with a foreign policy that looks surprising like George W. Bush's. The United States has more troops in Afghanistan than it did at the end of the Bush years, Guantánamo is still open, efforts to engage Iran have failed, and while American soldiers may have begun pulling back from Iraq, they've left plenty of Western defense contractors in their wake.
In anticipation of tomorrow's release of Bush's memoir, Decision Points, this line of thinking is reinforcing one of the Beltway press corps' favorite rituals: the "was he really that bad?" nostalgia for a president that the same reporters and analysts were happily pummeling only two years ago.
Don't believe a word of it. George W. Bush's presidency really was that bad and the fact that Obama has largely followed the same course is less a measure of Bush's wisdom than a reminder of the depth of the hole he dug his country into, as well as the institutionalized groupthink that dominates the U.S. foreign-policy establishment.
Decision Points has 14 chapters, each one pivoting around a key decision that Bush made in his adult life. So, in honor of America's newly published ex-president, here's my own list of 14 decisions that Bush made ones that tell a slightly different history of the 43rd presidency.
1. Listening to Cheney. In 2000, George W. Bush chose Dick Cheney to run his vice presidential candidate search effort. In a supremely self-confident move, Cheney muscled the competition out of the way and nominated himself and Bush agreed. This was Bush's ur-blunder, the mistake from which so many subsequent errors flowed. Cheney wasted no time stocking the administration's foreign-policy apparatus with extremists eager to implement the full neoconservative program, and they got their opportunity on Sept. 12, 2001. As Richard Perle a central member of the neocon team himself later told the New Yorker's George Packer, "if Bush had staffed his administration with a group of people selected by Brent Scowcroft and Jim Baker ... Then it could have been different, because they would not have carried into it the ideas that the people who wound up in important positions brought." Talk about failing to dodge a bullet....

You have probably seen the TV program, "This Old House." It's all about tradesmen who take on restorations of vintage homes. Well, our house is kind of like that program, minus the skilled workmen and the unlimited budget.
You see, our home used to be an old school in Crystal Lake. It was built in 1885 and in 1906 it was auctioned off, moved a few blocks, cut in half, and made into two homes. Our neighbors to the south of us have one half of the school, and we live in the other. Our shared history has brought us close together as friends, except for when I claim that our half of the school is smarter than theirs. Then we shoot spitballs and run in each other's hallways.
Both our houses have undergone various restoration projects over the years. We have fought our way through lathe and plaster. We have wrestled with knob and tube. And there has been no little contention between bearing walls and ceiling joists.
But as we began a new season of what my wife and I call "This Aged Abode," I found myself facing a renovation project that had left me feeling like a man with a shovel who was just told to dig the Panama Canal.
Back in the day our house did not have a bathroom. Well, there actually was one, but it was in the backyard somewhere. We are not privy to its exact location. But eventually some space on the second floor of the home was converted into a full bath. I am sure the original owners were flushed with excitement over the improvement.
When we bought the house many years ago we didn't mind having a single bathroom on the second floor. My wife and I adopted a lavatory regimen that accommodated our schedules, and we were as happy as a backsplash on a vanity. But, after all these years and all those trips up and down the stairs, we were both ready for a first floor comfort station.
The only possibility for a main floor bathroom conversion was the pantry, a quaint little room with built-in cabinets, a beautiful antique zinc countertop and even an original flour bin. However, my wife, along with her army of "This Old House" magazines, found a way to accommodate a toilet and sink and at the same time preserve the integrity of the original pantry. So, with designs in hand, we took the plunge.
I discovered that constructing a new bathroom would be easy. The big problem would be what I call "architectural collateral damage." Yep, accommodating the plumbing, heating and electrical needs of a simple sink/toilet combo would impact almost every other room of the house. It became a worse case scenario of infrastructure domino effect.
I found myself tearing through walls. I pulled up floors. I ripped through ceilings and roofs. I even sledgehammered ancient basement foundations. I used tools that I didn't even know the names of, much less how to use them. All the while my patient wife was saying, "I'm not sure, but if you held it by the handle, it might work better."
But I journeyed my way through stud and junction box and pipe fitting to finally arrive at the Promised Lavatory. Sure, the budget was quickly breached. And the folks at Home Depot and I are now on a first-name basis, although I'm also known as "Oh, no … here he is again." But the bathroom is done and the resulting architectural collateral damage has been stabilized.
Now my wife is talking about painting the upstairs bathroom. But I do not despair, for it was Mark Twain who observed, "If it's your job to eat a frog, it's best to do it first thing in the morning. And if it's your job to eat two frogs, it's best to eat the biggest one first."
So I figure, what's a little paint job compared to digging the Panama Canal? Ribbitt.

Members Absent: Mr. John Barnes, Dr. Louis Aikens, Rev. Gary Moore, Dr. Lyn Guy
Guests/Staff: Dr. Albert Walker, Ms. Shelia Johnson, Mr. John Cardwell, Dr. Tom Blevins, Mr. Jim Nelson, Dr. Shekhar Pradhan, Dr. Don Smith, Mr. Lionel Craddock, Dr. Jim Voelker, Ms. Anita Barilla, Ms. Angie Lambert
In the absence of Mr. John Barnes, Vice Chair Norris Kantor called the meeting to order at 6:50 p.m.
Approval of February 17 Minutes
Mr. Kantor asked for any additions or corrections to the minutes of February 17 Board of Governors' meeting. A motion was made and seconded (KPruitt/FBall) to approve the minutes. Motion carried.
Lewisburg Library
Mr. Kantor informed the group that Chairman Barnes has asked that this item be held, due to his involvement with this issue, until he can be present.
Academic and Student Affairs
Dr. Tom Eaves reviewed changes made by HEPC in admission policies for all four year institutions. Mr. Frost questioned the impact these admission changes will have upon the veterans served by Bluefield State in the future. Dr. Eaves reviewed the requirements for admission according to the HEPC guidelines and statistical information based on fall 2004 enrollment.
Dr. Eaves reported that HEPC is in the process of implementing a new statewide Bachelors of Applied Science (BAS) degree for Fall 2005. This degree is designed to provide an opportunity for students who possess an Associate of Applied Science (AAS) degree to obtain a bachelor's degree. Once approved this degree may be offered by baccalaureate degree granting public colleges and universities in West Virginia.
Dr. Eaves discussed the curriculum revisions next. He informed the group that there are 15 new minors, 10 new majors, and 1 new degree program (BAS). The institution is also exploring a pre-pharmacy collaborative degree with the University of Charleston.
Dr. Eaves reviewed policy development for the institution reporting that initial drafts have been completed for faculty salary, faculty merit pay, faculty search and selection, separation of faculty and academic personnel for administratively linked colleges, role and balance of adjunct faculty in the academic degree programs, and service in public schools.
Faculty searches are currently underway in mathematics, electrical engineering technology, education, marketing, accounting, and business.
Two research grants have been funded:
Biology with a specialization in virology and research interest in HIV/AIDS
Biochemistry or Molecular Biology – heart disease related research WV-IMBRE
Effective July, 1 Bluefield State College will be officially recognized as an National Institute of Health (NIH) undergraduate research institution thanks to the efforts of Dr. Patrick Muldoon and Dr. Ethel Gordon. Dr. Gordon's research efforts will be funded at $150,000 direct costs per year vs. the $75,000 this past year and will receive a separate award of approximately $25,000 research support award per year. The College is also pursuing an additional $75,000 for another research faculty position.
CART's DARPA Project has reached the final states of entry preparation and has moved much closer to accessing the sponsorship needed to win the $2,000,000 challenge award.
Mr. Kantor remarked that he feels there is a lack of classes after 5:00 p.m. and feels that the institution is not utilizing the facility to the fullest by offering classes to adults in the community who are employed. He ask that Dr. Eaves have a written report ready at the next meeting outlining where the institution stands in regard to evening courses and if there is a shortage of courses available to working adults, how this problem can be addressed.
Ms. Shelia Johnson - Vice President for Financial and Administrative Affairs
Ms. Johnson reviewed progress on the purchase of the house on Rock Street. The proposal is in the final stages of purchase.
Ms. Johnson shared a handout of projects approved by HEPC. HEPC has developed a list from our facilities priority list and has lifted projects like ADA, safety and health. Ms. Johnson reported that there have never been any projects funded by the state, but added that the college has historically funded projects through student fees. The institution has been asked for certification that the college is in a position to pay half of the cost, if the state approves payment of half. Ms. Johnson reviewed projects included in the HEPC listing to be completed by 2006.
Ms. Johnson reviewed the purchasing audit recently completed and thanked Mr. Paul Rutherford for his work to make sure the institution is in compliance. She explained that purchasing regulations have become more stringent to make sure the college is in compliance with the guidelines. Complaints have been voiced across the campus but it is essential that compliance to the state guidelines be upheld.
Ms. Johnson reported that it is essential that the $2.1 million be transferred to Bluefield State from New River's budget as agreed upon last year in a pact signed by both colleges. As yet nothing has been resolved in this matter.
Mr. Frost inquired concerning an elevator for the Student Center. Ms. Johnson reviewed policies concerning the Student Center as being financially self-sufficient.
Mr. Frost asked about the paving of the road below the campus and sealing of parking lots as projects included in the HEPC. Ms. Johnson discussed these projects
Mr. Forlines inquired concerning the Research and Development Corporation's inclusion in the BSC audit. Ms. Johnson explained that the Corporation has not been included in the audit this year. However the R&D Corporation as well as the Foundation will be included in the next audit.
Mr. Jim Nelson – Legislative and Media Relations Update
Mr. Nelson reviewed various Senate Bills and the opportunity for baccalaureate institutions to offer graduate level courses. Contact has been made with several Legislators for assistance with the promotion of Senate Bill 169 which would allow Bluefield State to create and offer graduate courses.

How to Make Ravioli
If you are looking for an extra special fall treat learn how to make this pumpkin filled ravioli with shaved parmesan cheese on top. This dish made from scratch is sure to impress.
-Hi everyone, I'm Judith. Well today, we'll be making Pumpkin Filled Ravioli, a very impressive dinner dish making it from scratch shall I say. So, the ingredients you will need for this is 2 cups of all-purpose flour; 3 slightly beaten eggs; a dash of salt; 3 tablespoons of butter; a dash of salt; 3 tablespoons of ground amaretti cookies or almond biscotti; dash ground nutmeg; dash of ground saffron; a dash of ground cloves; dash of ground cinnamon; a dash of ground red pepper; 1 bay leaf; 2/3 cup of canned pumpkin; 1/3 cup of grated Parmesan cheese; 2 tablespoons of soft bread crumbs; 8 ounces of porcini mushrooms or other mushrooms that you have, sliced; 1/4 cup of butter; 1/4 cup of grated Parmesan cheese; Fresh basil sprigs; and Shredded Parmesan cheese as extra. Alright, so first things first. Let's do our ravioli base, our pasta base. So, in a food processor, we're gonna add our flour in there, our eggs and our salt. Now, if you don't have a food processor, and you're doing it by hand that's absolutely fine, all you gonna do is get your flour into mound on your surface, on your board. You're gonna make a little well. You're gonna have a little hole in the middle and then you're gonna add in your eggs into that and your salt, and then you're just gonna put the flour on top of the eggs and knead into a dough, and it's gonna be quite thick, but you're gonna do by hand that's fine. Today, we're relaxing a little bit. I'm gonna do in the food processor. So, in there goes and we're just gonna pulse that until a ball forms. So, that should now have become more of a dough like consistency, yes, it has should be thick and formed a bit of a ball like we have there. Yes, very good, just what we wanted. Be careful there. So, we're gonna put that into a bowl, and we're gonna let it rest covered for about 30 minutes. All right, so while our dough is resting, let us do our pumpkin filling. So, we're gonna add in our 3 tablespoons of butter, our amaretti biscotti, whatever you're using, and your bay leaf in there too. Let that melt down. So butter is melting in there and now we're gonna add in our salt and all of these lovely spices, so saffron, which is one of the most expensive spice, but just gives such a wonderful flavor and color. We have our red pepper, our cloves, our cinnamon, and our nutmeg going in there, and we're just gonna heat that for about 1 to 2 minutes until that heats through and that smell of all those beautiful spices is gonna go great with our ravioli. So, once that's heated up for about a couple of minutes, let's turn off the heat. Let's discard our bay leaf. We can fish it out, oops, where's that. Wonderful, oh, that's looking very good right now. And now, we're gonna add in our pumpkin, our bread crumbs, and our parmesan cheese, and we're just gonna stir that in to all those 1 wonderful flavors. That is gonna make such a beautiful filling for our ravioli. So, we can set that aside, and we'll get our ravioli dough back in here and we'll flatten it out. So, we pour ravioli dough back. That's been sitting out for 30 minutes. So, we're gonna flour our work surface, and we are going to roll out our ravioli dough, wanna we get it nice and thin. So, once you've rolled out your ravioli dough into much of a rectangles as you can about 30 x 10 inches and as much as possible wanna get it nice and thin, and we're gonna now cut it in to squares. Obviously, it does take a little bit of work to do that, you know, the dough is gonna be stiff with the eggs in the flour. So, it's gonna take a little bit of time, but I'm telling you, a worth to wait, so what we're gonna do now is gonna cut our dough into squares, about 2 x 2 inches, so as best you can, we're just gonna cut a long into little squares, and we're gonna repeat this with the rest of our dough. So, same thing, just more of 2 x 2, and we'll cut them up. So, once our ravioli are cut into squares, we're now gonna add the filling, so using about 1/2 teaspoon of our mixture, we're gonna put that into the center of one of our ravioli doughs. Then, we're gonna just moisten it the outside edges with some water or with egg, whatever you prepare. Well then gonna get another one of our ravioli squares, and we're just gonna place it on top. Obviously, they are not all be matching, but we'll just moisten that down with our fingers so that the 2 doughs come together like so and there you go, there you have your little ravioli. So, we're gonna repeat that process with all of our ravioli squares. So 1/2 teaspoon in the center. Moisten the outside, another one on top of that as best as possible, and then we're just gonna flatten the outside edges with the fingers. Alright, so we'll keep going with that. Alright, so, all of ravioli has now been filled with our pumpkin mixture looking great. I can't wait to put this in the boiling water. So, we're just boiling a large put of water right here. Once it comes to boiling, you can add our ravioli. Now, these are gonna cook about 6 to 8 minutes. You want them cooked through, but also you want them still a little bit firm, al dente, so we'll pout those in, and they're done, then we're just gonna drain them and set them aside. Okay, as our ravioli is cooking, let's whip up or sauce, so what we're gonna do is add our remaining butter in our pan, and once that's melted, we're then gonna add in our mushrooms, and obviously add in your mushrooms of choice, whatever like best, and we're gonna cook this until they're golden brown and the butter has browned. Alright, so our pumpkin ravioli is done. We've drained it in a colander. So, it's nice, fresh, soft, still a little bit al dente and firm, and what we're gonna do now is add this lovely buttery mushroom sauce into it on the top, got a lot lovely butter on there, and then we'll add in 1/4 cup of our parmesan cheese, give that a good stir, so it covers all the ravioli. Oh, that looks good. And then, let's transfer that to a bowl. So, that cheese is gonna melt in just beautiful. It's nothing like fresh ravioli and this is a great run for the vegetarians of course, one more in there. Fantastic and then last but not the least, we're just gonna garnish that with a little bit of our fresh basil leaves, in there goes, oh that's just gonna smell wonderful. It all ready smells great, the pumpkin, the mushroom, and then we're just gonna sprinkle some of that extra shredded parmesan cheese on top. There you go and that is how you make your pumpkin filled ravioli.

Becoming a successful comedian takes more than just talent and luck. It involves preparation, experience, a knowledge of the business and knowing what is expected of you. Today's top comedians developed their humor without conforming to any trends or formulas. Talent and originality are the keys to success.

Three-week trial will require a large jury pool
BENNINGTON With whats anticipated to be a three-week trial pending, the Bennington criminal court has sent out a request for around 250 jurors, about twice what they request in a standard trial, in an effort to find a panel that can spend that much time sitting on a jury.
On Tuesday, there will be a final conference in the case of Peter Campbell-Copp, 63, who is facing more than a dozen felony charges, across eight different dockets, of using false pretenses to obtain money. Campbell-Copp is accused of taking money to publish books that were never printed.
If the case doesnt resolve on Tuesday, a jury is expected to be drawn one week later for a trial set to start April 10.
Mary Frost, court manager for Bennington County, said that when searching for the right jury candidates for a case like this, she has to be mindful the trial could be canceled if the prosecution and defense reach an agreement. Jury members might also be needed for another case, if one trial is canceled.
Managing the jury with such a large prospect, that can actually go away and become a smaller prospect, can be difficult, she said.
For the Campbell-Copp case, Frost said she did something she doesnt ordinarily do and included a letter that said the trial was expected to last three weeks.
Starting with a large pool doesnt guarantee that an adequate number of jurors will be available. In this case, about 75 people were eliminated right away for various reasons like they had moved or had medical issues. The trial also falls during school vacation so a number of people already had travel plans. While its unusual, there are real consequences to not having enough jurors. This week, there was a trial scheduled for Jay C. Allard, 55, of Bennington, on nine felonies, all but one involving sexual crimes with child victims.
However, after two jurors got sick and another had to withdraw for a conflict of interest, the trial had to be postponed.
Bennington County States Attorney Erica Marthage said while she appreciated jurors and the service they provide, delaying a trial could be painful for many involved.
It creates a difficulty for everybody. Not only the witnesses that have been subpoenaed but it creates a difficulty for the defendant, who was expecting this to be done this week, and the victim, who was also expecting this to be done, she said.
Marthage said it could be especially concerning in a sex crime case when the victims were already in a fragile state over reliving the alleged incidents and discussing difficult memories in court.
Frost and other court managers are no longer responsible for sending out their own jury summonses as they are handled from a central location in Burlington.
Thats really helped a lot. Thats really streamlined the process, but once you get to the local level, then youre dealing with excusals and making sure you have enough jurors, she said.
Creating such a large jury pool is not unusual, but Frost said its only happened a few times during her tenure, mostly for high-profile murder cases.
According to a story in The Associated Press, U.S. Court Judge William Sessions said in February that the jury pool in the case of Brooke Bennetts 2008 death might need as many as 5,000 members to find an unbiased jury. Brookes uncle, Michael Jacques, is facing charges that he abducted, sexually assaulted and killed his 12-year-old niece.
At the Bennington courthouse, there is also the problem of finding the space for people both outside for parking and inside for jury drawing. Frost said she thinks there will be enough parking although some might need to park at the adjacent deer park. She said the attorneys might be able to come up with some broad questions that can quickly get the jury pool to a reasonable size.

Memory Mapping Los Angeles @ Leo Politi Elementary
This Sunday our brand new Nature Lab opens for every Angeleno to enjoy. Aside from all the other fun stuff that will be in the exhibit — live animals, camera trap footage, awesome taxidermy — it's going to be a place to tell stories about L.A.'s surprising biodiversity. During the development of the Nature Lab we would often find ourselves sitting around a table telling stories of the crazy nature encounters we'd had. Like the time my friend Kristin left her favorite bar in downtown and saw a deer walking down the street! Seriously.
Kristin's L.A. nature memory illustrated by Martha Rich:
To encourage visitors to recount their own L.A. nature memories we captured 16 unique stories (including Kristin's) and had six amazing illustrators (Brian Rea, Mark Todd, Martha Rich, Liz Burrill, Lizzie Swift, and Anne...

The "We love you as a player AND as a man" Award.
No one deserves the Roberto Clemente Award more than my (close) 2nd favorite Met, Carlos Delgado. If you missed my buddy Mark Newman's moving article about it, click here!
"Outstanding sportsmanship, community involvement and contribution to his team?" Delgado just might deserve this award every year.
Not to mention that our man makes this appearance while recovering from surgery! Carlos Delgado is the perfect example of smiling through the pain.
I love that our Carlos won this award for so many reasons, top among them: He is perhas the truest leader in the Mets clubhouse and in the dugout–and a font of notebook knowledge on every pitcher. He gives a brilliant smile and hug when a guy needs it, and man, can our Carlos hit. AND field. AND give superb interviews. AND do his all to help disadvantaged kids. AND make us all love him.
But best of all? He's being honored in the name of his childhood hero–the man Delgado honors on the back of his uniform every day.
It doesn't get much sweeter than that.
2 Comments
That is pretty cool indeed.
I'm happy for him. He deserves it.
On another note… want to carve Mr. Met in your pumpkin?
Delgado's a good guy. On and off the field. Glad Omar finally landed him…

Overview The Milkyway™ Database provides the unifying design storage for Synopsys' Galaxy™ Design Platform. The production-proven, widely used Milkyway database provides persistent data storage that links Galaxy platform tools together thereby eliminating the need for large, intermediate exchange files and preventing design intent loss through mismatched syntax of exchange formats. Milkyway is proven on well over 10,000 tape-outs including the latest 90 and 65 nanometer technology designs. Designed to be extensible, Milkyway is continuously augmented with new capabilities such as those required for signal integrity, power reduction, and yield enhancement.
Key Features and Benefits
Design ChallengesFor today's large designs, tremendous volumes of data are generated as a design moves through the implementation phase. Without a common database, tools must communicate through ASCII design interchange files. This presents the following problems for design users:
SolutionMilkyway solves these issues for the Galaxy Platform because all implementation tools have direct, binary interfaces to the Milkyway database.
