Two local companies offer to buy Co. Admin. Building
Two local companies are offering to buy the County Administrative Building and turn it into student housing.
360-Real Estate and Borton Construction would repurpose the building into housing for Western Technical College.
For years, the county has been looking into what to do with the aging building that is in need of repairs. The biggest issue is asbestos removal which would cost the county millions.
They decided to start accepting ideas from the public and say 360 and Borton seem like a great fit. "I really think the process we've used is a good one because we really wanted to kind of cast the net out there and see if anyone in the community had a better idea for the use of this building, if they do, and we like it and the neighbors agree, then we have to find a new home," said County Board Chair Tara Johnson.
Right now, the idea is just a proposal. Developers will present their plan to a county committee that will then present it to the County Board in July.

Black Rats, Brown Rats, and the Plague
I've been spending a lot of time thinking about rats. Thankfully, it is not because I have a problem in my apartment! Unfortunately, for many people in L.A., rats are a serious pest, and it's not just one type of rat. The most serious rodent offenders in our cities are the brown (aka Norway) rat, Rattus norvegicus, and the black rat, Rattus rattus.
Here on the North Campus we have camera trap images and footage of rats hanging out underneath the bridge. But what type of rat is this? Since Jim Dines, our Mammalogy Collections Manager, wasn't available, I decided to try and figure it out myself. Doing a Wikipedia search for brown rats, I came across a nice diagram that helped me to make an identification. What species do you think it is?

dd (2 years old)was goofing around the other day, slipped & came down on the side of her crib with her chin & ended up breaking her front tooth. So, we took her first trip to the dentist. Aside from the broken tooth, she noticed some other cavities. I don't think her enamel was fully formed on her top two teeth when they came in, so I think they were even more susceptible. Anyway, at first I assumed it was that plus too much candy & not enough brushing (or not good enough brushing) which the dentist was agreeing with until I mentioned she still breastfeeds. As soon as I said that, she switched gears and said that's the cause of them & went on to say it's similar to babies with bottle mouth. She didn't insist I should wean or anything, but implied it would be better for her teeth if I did. I didn't respond much at the time (because I was trying not to cry), but from all I've read up to now, I thought breastmilk didn't cause cavities & was completely different. I even heard Dr Sears say that on tv a while back. I didn't even tell this part to my husband because I didn't want him to latch on to it & want me to give up bf'ing her. But I want to do what's best for her (& her teeth), especially since we're looking at potentiaaly high priced treatment for the cavities she has & having to sedate her to fix them. I don;t want to do anything to make her teeth any worse. I just don't truly believe bf'ing is a cause. As common as it is to bf a toddler in so many cultures, I don't think they're all running around with bad teeth, so I'm really thinking it's more my lack of holding her down to brush her teeth well enough & often enough.
Sorry this is so long, but I'm looking for any personal experiences on this since I don;t know many people who bf past one (unfortunately).

For more than thirty years, Astral Project has delighted audiences around the world with its unique brand of cutting edge improvisation and near telepathic interplay over deep New Orleans' grooves.
In 1978, Tony Dagradi gathered together the brightest, most energetic young players in the Crescent City and started out on a path that would help shape the modern jazz scene for years to come. A devoted student of Eastern philosophy, Dagradi coined the band name as a reflection of the group's quest for a higher plane of experience. As everyone who has seen the band in concert knows, each performance finds these men reaching for the stars.
Over the years the personnel has remained remarkably constant. Master drummer John Vidacovich continues to direct the rhythmic ebb an flow of the music as only he can. A brilliant soloist and highly sensitive accompanist, he plays with a command of dynamics, distinctive melodic accents and effervescent swing. On bass, James Singleton is a conduit of pure energy. His solid rhythmic concept and harmonic sense are the foundation of this innovative group's improvisational strength. Steve Masakowski has long been regarded as one of the most awe-inspiring guitarists and composers in contemporary music. His technique on the unique seven string instrument which he designed has influenced a generation of guitarists. Performing on tenor and soprano saxophones, Tony Dagradi brings an emotional urgency to each solo. His huge tone and soaring lines speak of the entire tradition of jazz and constantly push the energy of the band forward.
"ECM-style grace with New Orleans humidity" - Rolling Stone
"One of the most distinctive and cohesive groups in jazz" - Down Beat
"A co-op band comprised of world class improvisers and composers... Astral Project has been New Orleans' best kept secret for more than 20 years." - Jazz Times
"The city's premier modern jazz ensemble." - New Orleans Times Picayune
"Astral Project is the finest modern jazz ensemble in New Orleans, and undoubtedly one of the most unique groups period." - Offbeat, New Orleans Music
"New Orleans' greatest contemporary jazz band...a lean tough, rhythmically unyielding approach to improvisation." - Chicago Tribune
"Astral Project epitomizes the modern New Orleans jazz band...successful, independent and synthesizing the present and thick-as-gumbo past of the city's music." - Capital Times, Madison, WI
"It's tough to say that a contemporary jazz group is capable of doing just about anything but in Astral Project's case, it's the truth." - Stamford Advocate

Somebody did somethingBy Gail Collins
The New York Times | May 24,2013Whenever the world of Washington seems hopeless, someone will point out that the Senate Judiciary Committee did a good job on immigration reform.
Thats it? Yeah, pretty much.
Immigration reform has been the 2013 bipartisan bright spot in the Senate, unless you were really moved by the day they voted to debate gun control before killing all the gun control plans. The committee members cheerfully plowed through 300-odd proposed amendments, while taking turns telling which country their great-grandfather came from. There was, of course, a lot of disagreement, although almost everybody seemed to enjoy slapping down ideas offered by Sen. Jeff Sessions of Alabama.
Mainstream Republicans have been super-energized to do immigration reform ever since the Hispanic vote went against them in the last election. Democracy does work. If somebody came up with a dramatic poll showing that all the people with diabetes, asthma and chronic back problems had voted against Mitt Romney, there would no longer be a problem getting funding for health care reform.
High points in the committees long slog toward passage included a proposal from tea party icon Mike Lee of Utah to exempt employers of cooks, waiters, butlers, housekeepers, governesses, maids, valets, baby sitters, janitors, laundresses, furnacemen, caretakers, handymen, gardeners, footmen, grooms and chauffeurs of automobiles for family use from checking to make sure their help had the proper legal status. It didnt go anywhere, but if you happen to run into Lee, feel free to say: The butler did it.
The most painful low point in the committees deliberations came at the end, when the Democrats gave up on an amendment allowing same-sex spouses the same right as heterosexuals to apply for permanent resident status for their partners. Its not every day when you hear a senator announce that he had decided to support a move that involved rank discrimination. But the Republicans who were needed to get an immigration bill through the Senate had made it supremely clear that if any hint of gay marriage entered the legislation, they were going to take their toys and go home.
Decide for yourself how you feel about this one, people. Stand up for equality or finally get a major bill through the Senate? Defend equality or cave in and hope that the Supreme Court bails you out when it rules on the Defense of Marriage Act next month?
It is, at minimum, a useful reminder of what lawmaking looked like back in the days when the two parties made deals and we complained that nobody was sticking to their principles. Back to the can-do days when senators routinely said things like Sen. Orrin Hatchs explanation of his thinking on immigration: Im going to vote this bill out of committee because Ive committed to do that.
The bill, which would give millions of undocumented residents a path toward eventual citizenship, goes to the full Senate, where it actually looks as though its going to pass. Any further progress would require cooperation from the House of Representatives, the circle of hell where the damned are condemned to spend eternity voting to repeal the health care reform law.
Perhaps you missed the one last week. Let me summarize:
The Obamacare law must be ripped out by its roots!
The 37th time! The 37th time!
A malignant tumor thats metastasizing on Americas liberty!
We have spent over 56 hours on the floor debating repeal of the law of the land!
The House Republican leadership would probably rather have been working on something else. But the newer members whined that theyd hardly had any opportunities to vote to repeal Obamacare at all.
It sends a great statement back to our district, said Rep. Ted Yoho, R-Fla., whom many people enjoy quoting because they like saying Ted Yoho.
Also, its hard for the Republicans to agree among themselves about anything else. One influential conservative organization recently urged Speaker John Boehner to drop the whole legislation idea completely and just hold committee hearings about the IRS scandal and Benghazi forever.
Recent events have rightly focused the nations attention squarely on the actions of the Obama administration, argued Heritage Action for America. It is incumbent upon the House of Representatives to conduct oversight hearings on those actions, but it would be imprudent to do anything that shifts the focus from the Obama administration to the ideological differences within the House Republican conference.
We really hate it when they get imprudent.

Pittsford plans more talk on dispensary
PITTSFORD Any further discussion regarding a proposed medical marijuana dispensary in town was postponed until the first Wednesday in December to allow all Select Board members to have the opportunity to weigh in on the issue.
The four members of the Pittsford board Chairman Hank Pelkey, Allen Hitchcock, Thomas Hooker and Jane Cornell briefly discussed whether or not the town should allow a dispensary in Pittsford at the boards meeting Wednesday.
I believe there are several members on the board not in favor of it and there are several members on the board in favor of it, said Pelkey on Monday. I am not sure what the decision will be.
He said the response to the proposal by town residents has been different for each selectman receiving feedback: some citizens are in favor of the proposal, some are indifferent, and others oppose the dispensary. Pelkey said because Selectman Joseph Gagnon was not in attendance the board decided to table the discussion until Dec. 5.
On a decision of this magnitude we try to have the full board, (rather than) try to do it with four us, unless there is a time frame, Pelkey said. There is no time frame (for this proposal).
The board chairman said they are hoping to find more information on security precautions for marijuana dispensaries before making a decision.
According to Vermonts medical marijuana law, a dispensary can be sited in a community provided the town or city hasnt adopted an ordinance prohibiting it, or provided the town has no zoning regulations that would forbid it. Pelkey said the board will consider all their options before making any determination.
Pittsfords board first heard about the proposal for a medical marijuana dispensary from Alexandra Ford, who heads Rutland County Organics, a nonprofit corporation certified to set up one of the four dispensaries allowed in the state. Under the unofficial proposal, Ford highlighted some of the security measures that would be adopted, including the installation of steel doors where the marijuana is grown and a 24-hour security presence enhanced by surveillance cameras. Clients also must be on a state-certified list of patients approved for the use of medical marijuana, and will need to schedule a consultation with dispensary staff before being served.
Two dispensaries have already been approved in Burlington and Waterbury. Ford said there are approximately 150 patients in the southern part of Vermont who do not have ready access to medically prescribed marijuana.

I was just imagining a frontcourt lineup of:
Tyson Chandler
Big-Baby Davis
These 4 bigmen would score in the paint & rebound over 80% of the teams in the league.
I like Shumpert his future shows a "James Harden" in 3 to 5 season if he keep-up with the hard work ethic however, I'd rather we had select the NBA-Ready hang-time "Kenneth Faried" with that draft pick. Faried skills were already intensified for the NBA (little teaching was needed), Faried NCAA skills were that of a double-double 3rd season NBA bigman.
The money the Knicks spent on Josh Harrellson couldve been spent on buying Shumpert or Isaiah Thomas.
Signing Tyson Chandler had to be the best (#1) move the Knicks made in the past
decade....Tyson, Stat, Melo, and Faried are a Frontcourt rotation made to contend
several times in the FINALS...

Four boys were cited Wednesday after a Madison Metro passenger reported seeing a young man in possession of a handgun.
Officers responded to the Madison Metro bus on South Midvale Boulevard, near Odana Road, at 9:34 pm after all suspects had fled the bus. The two 12-year-olds and 13-year-olds were found a short distance away. Police found what was determined to be a BB gun in a nearby yard. Officers reported the weapon had the appearance of a real gun.
Three suspects were cited for party to a crime of possession of a pellet gun under the age of 18. The primary suspect was cited for underage possession of a pellet gun and taken to the Juvenile Reception Center on tentative charges of disorderly conduct and obstructing. The primary suspect refused to give police his name and claimed to be a member of a street gang.

Of the organization, JCP writes that, "4-H is a youth development organization where the youth step up to the challenges of our changing, complex world. We call that a revolution of responsibility, which is a movement for positive change in every community in America. 4-H youth are a living, breathing, culture-changing revolution for doing the right thing, breaking through obstacles and pushing our country forward by making a measurable difference right where they live. That takes uncommon commitment. Learn more about 4-H here."
JCP is challenging all of us to help donate 100,000 pennies to each of these organizations. Link here to get involved and start donating and collecting pennies today. I hope you'll consider getting involved with this partnership and raising dollars for 4-H programs across the country.
One of my favorite memories of being in 4-H was showing cattle. I remember crying when I won my first trophy with my heifer, Reba. And, I remember posing with my first purple ribbon after I gave a speech about Limousin cattle. Summer days were spent making crafts, baking cookies, filling out entry cards, keeping records on cattle feed and adding pages to my 4-H book, all in preparation for the county achievement days. 4-H builds strong leaders and shapes the future of the agriculture industry.
What's your favorite 4-H memory? Why is the program important to you? What do you think about this JCP partnership to raise money for a youth-in-agriculture program?
Watch this "I Am Angus" segment to learn more about JCPenney:

Bruce's HR in 10th sends Reds over Brewers 4-3
Gannett hits first career home run
Jay Bruce homered off Burke Badenhop with one out in the 10th inning on Friday night, rallying the Cincinnati Reds to a 4-3 victory over the Milwaukee Brewers in a game full of errors and wasted chances.
It was Cincinnati's second straight extra-inning game. The Reds fell 6-5 in 14 innings at Wrigley Field on Thursday, leaving their bullpen depleted.
Bruce connected on a 1-2 pitch from Badenhop (0-3) for his fifth game-ending homer. Alfredo Simon (5-2) retired the side in the 10th.
The teams combined for five errors -- including a season-high three by Cincinnati. Bronson Arroyo hit Martin Maldonado with the bases loaded to force in a run, and Maldonado homered off him to tie it in the eighth.

Looking forward to a tough battle tonight
Big litmus test on Amare (and his D) vs Brand. Type of guy who, typically, will just go off for a big, efficient meaty game against us.
The defense of Lin and Shumpert will be on full display, as well. Melo included.
Turner, Jru, Brand, Iggy.....all capable of just ripping us in a really efficient way; but we have the players who can, if not outright stop them, contain them if they play smart, solid defense with effort fromt Q1 to Q4.
No Worries. Lin is Still the best PG the game have ever seen and we're gonna sell some t-shirts. Go Knicks
WOW..i love hearing DEFENSE for the knicks at away games lol
Stuck at work; turned the tv in the custy waiting room on ESPN, lo and behold there go our KNICKS; I didn't know they were the national broadcast tonight and with Hubie no less. LET'S GO KNICKS!!!!
woww Chandler!!!
"I'm more concern how Melo is gonna play with Lin" Joe Budden
our Defense is on point!!!
"I'm more concern how Melo is gonna play with Lin" Joe Budden
sweet defense!!! love seeing my ex-fantasy players Jew Holiday and Spencer Hee Hawes shoot bricks. phuck philly!
half way over of the 1st quarter and Sixers still dont score
"I'm more concern how Melo is gonna play with Lin" Joe Budden
Mike Woodson is not a basketball coach. He is a witch-doctor!!! He seems to have hexed every team we play against and has summoned a lid on our basket.
Will we ever win a championship again? Id like to think so!

Unbowed, still high-prowed, with fat fees;
But the fiscal cliff beckons,
Its ugly truth reckons,
And only a pseud hopes for ease!

Well-fed Warthogs excrete as a waste
The most foul-smelling brackish black paste;
If spread on the grass,
You just think warthog arse,
Part curry, but with arsenic laced!

Mandrake was addictive,
His nakedness frictive,
And so he became loves guerrilla!

The Roman CatholicDiocese of Arundel and Brighton in the U.K. is striving to become a "fairtrade" diocese and expects to accomplish this by early next year. In the lastfew weeks, parishioners at a typical church in the diocese will have been askedto sign petitions to parliament, join marches of protest and buy fair tradeproducts. Parishioners would do well to question how their faith in factrelates to the fair trade agenda.
The agenda is pushedright down the age groups and through into connected church groups. At hisBeaver Scouts meeting recently, my six-year old was instructed that fair tradepaid a "fair" price for farmer's produce as opposed to the "market" pricefarmers receive from multinationals. Analysis of the circumstances in whichthere is a distinction between a "fair" price and a "market" price has keptminds better than those of the Beaver Scouts awake at night: St. Thomas Aquinasand a whole school of Spanish theologians in the sixteenth and seventeenthcenturies struggled with these concepts.
Diocesan schools will,no doubt, soon be brought into the campaign. Having listened to fair tradeprinciples being explained to classes, it is clear to me that its proponentshave no understanding that the set of issues being treated can be debated andan alternative viewpoint offered. There is too much political posturing andinsufficient serious reflection.
There are two strandsto the fair trade movement: the political agenda, often represented by thetrade justice movement, and the retail fair trade operations. The Arundel andBrighton diocese is explicitly encouraging both. The political fair tradeagenda, in particular, has the potential to do great harm. Its basic propositionis that free trade rules are dictated by rich nations who pander to theiragricultural lobbies and impose unreasonable obligations on developing nations.It argues that developing nations ought to be able to practice various forms ofprotectionism.
It is certainly truethat developed country agricultural, food, and textiles protectionism is anoutrage that does nobody any good. There can be broad agreement between freetraders and fair traders here.
But, the rest of thefair trade political agenda could cause serious harm. The main obstacle toprosperity in developing nations is internal governance. Such countries need free economies withgovernments that operate under the rule of law and enforce the law justly. Ifsuch a situation existed, multinationals would operate in a more competitiveeconomic environment and they would pay workers and producers more for theirproduce. Workers and producers would be more productive too and everybody wouldbe better off. It is true to say that multinationals sometimes workhand-in-hand with corrupt governments to entrench their market positions. Smallcompanies and indigenous companies often cannot compete in thisenvironment--particularly in the environment of the absence of free tradein food and textiles.
Fair traders look atthis situation, the behavior of some multinationals and the plight of the poor,and campaign for "fair trade" regulations. Such regulations would allow poorcountries to impose restrictions on trade to assist their own industries andregulate the activities of multinationals more heavily. Insofar as suchregulations burden the few competitors there are for labor and produce in thesecountries, they can make life worse. The employment and trading opportunitiesin developing countries do seem pitiful by western standards but they may bebetter than the next best alternative.
The second, and muchgreater, problem of such an approach, is that the rules that the fair trademovement would like to change would give more power to the governments thatabuse power in the first place. Even if such governments used those powers toregulate trade reasonably, they would probably do harm: the protection ofdomestic industry is no way to help a developing economy. But they are unlikelyto use their powers reasonably. Africa's history is one of continent-widegovernment intervention in domestic economies and external trade that islargely responsible for its present dire situation. In matters of economics,the law of unintended consequences is ignored at one's peril!
We have had traderegulation before--up to the early 1990s in the coffee industry, forexample. The results were predictable. The gainers were governmentfunctionaries, bureaucrats, bribe takers, and major corporations. Farmers fromthe poorest countries were excluded from markets.
The diocese of Arundeland Brighton is not acting in a vacuum. The bishops of England and Wales haveproduced policy documents on fair trade. Sadly, clichés are often preferred torigor. It is often the poorest who lose from trade liberalization, they say.This ignores the remarkable progress of East Asia in the last few decades. Manypoor people are getting richer through trade; the most impoverished are gettingpoorer not because trade is "free" rather than "fair" but because of theirdysfunctional governments and their lack of access to trade.
The fair trade agendaalso encompasses the issue of retail fair trade products. One can certainlyunderstand the motivation of those who support retail fair trade. It isunderstandable too why some urge the Church to provide the opportunity forretail fair trade.
Even here there areissues worth deeper thought. Retail fair trade organizations tend to fix theprice they pay their farmers so that the farmer receives a price that does notvary directly with the world price of their produce. But if there is a fall inworld demand or rise in supply then some producers must suffer. If some areprotected, others suffer more. This does not lead to an objection to the fairtrade companies, since they assist the people they are in business to help. Iwas, however, taken aback when a priest of the Arundel and Brighton diocesesaid in the monthly diocesan newspaper, words to the effect of, "when we buyfair trade products we are making a very deliberate and informed choice to helpthe poor and when we choose not to do so we are making the opposite choice".This kind of admonition should be reserved for matters on which the Church'smoral teaching is clear; it should be not be used in a case in which theeconomic effect (and therefore moral character) of an act is open to debate.
Facilitating those whowish to promote retail fair trade products is something that the parish ordiocese might reasonably do. It would be churlish to object. But to promoteretail fair trade by "badging" the diocese a "fair trade diocese" is absurd andit is made worse by the inclusion of the political agenda, as in Arundel andBrighton.
A diocese is the homeof all the people of God, whatever their political views. Some political viewsare incompatible with Catholicism, but believing in free trade and believingthat the fair trade agenda will do more harm than good are not. Bishops shouldnot adopt a slogan for the diocese that is used by political campaignersseeking to achieve wider political ends. That political agenda is not withinthe bishops' control. Indeed, it is controlled by people who do not have themission of the Church at heart.

(WHDH) A woman in Windham, New Hampshire stopped an alleged break-in at a neighbor's home by scaring away the suspects with a broom.
It happened right as Katherine Reader was cooking dinner Thursday afternoon.
"And I could see right from my stove, right out my window," Reader explained.
Police say what she saw was a home break-in underway at her neighbor's house. But Reader wasn't having it, so she armed herself with a broom, and walked over.
"And it made me so angry that they broke into her house, so I just picked up the broom and I kept saying, 'Don't go anywhere, stay where you are, I got you covered,'" Reader said.
She came face-to-face with one of the suspects; her bold entrance apparently spooked him.
Windham police say the two suspects tried to run but didn't get far. Reader was on their tail.

With a mall boom in Russia, investors go shopping
MOSCOW Shoppers who find that 250 stores arent enough can go ice skating, watch movies or even ride a carousel, all under a single roof.
While it sounds like the Mall of America, this mall is outside Moscow, not Minneapolis.
I feel like Im in Disneyland, Vartyan E. Sarkisov, a shopper toting an Adidas bag, said recently while making the rounds of the Mega Belaya Dacha mall.
Instead of bread lines, Russia is known these days for malls. They are booming businesses, drawing investments from sovereign wealth funds and Wall Street banks, most recently Morgan Stanley, which paid $1.1 billion a year ago for a single mall in St. Petersburg.
One mall, called Vegas, rose out of a cucumber field on the edge of Moscow and became, its owners say, larger than the Mall of America if the U.S. malls 7-acre amusement park is not counted in the calculation of floor space.
A few offramps away on the Moscow beltway, another mall scored a victory by another measure: the Mega Tyoply Stan shopping center attracted 57 million visitors at its peak in 2007, well ahead of the 40 million annual visits reported by the Mall of America.
As U.S. malls dodder into old age, gaptoothed with vacancies, Russias shopping centers are just now blossoming into their boom years, nourished by oil exports that are lifting wages.
Its 1982 all over again in Russia, said Lee Timmins, the country representative of Hines, a Texas-based real estate group that is opening three outlet malls in Russia, referring to the heyday of the U.S. mall experience. Russians, he said, love malls.
The mall boom illustrates an extraordinarily important theme in Russian economics these days. The growing crowds at malls, and the keen interest in Russian malls on the part of Wall Street banks, are signs that the emerging middle class that made up the street protests against Vladimir Putin in Moscow last winter is becoming a force in business as well as politics.
Investors, who with money at stake are a bellwether of the new trends, are not waiting for the next round of protests; they are already placing bets on the rise of a broad affluent class in Russia.
Over the past 10 years, Russia has turned into a middle-class country, Charles Slater, a retail analyst at Cushman & Wakefield, a commercial real estate consulting firm, said in an interview. What better to do than go to an enclosed, warm environment with many things on offer, whether that be bowling, cinema or food courts, things the customers have not been used to in the past?
Moscow now has 82 malls, including two of the largest in Europe, according to the International Council of Shopping Centers, a New York-based trade association. Both are owned by Ikea Shopping Centers Russia, the branch of the Swedish assemble-it-yourself furniture franchise that manages 14 malls here. In Russia, malls are still novel; the first Western-style suburban mall opened in 2000. They are now changing hands as developers sell to institutional investors, like Morgan Stanley, shedding light for the first time on their eye-popping values.
At the core of the attraction for investors is the rising disposable incomes of Russians, nudged along by policies favoring the middle class, lest their challenge to Putins rule intensify.
Russia has a flat 13 percent income tax rate. Most Russians own their homes, a legacy of post-Soviet privatizations, and so pay no mortgage or rent. Health care is socialized.
Not surprisingly, then, Russians have become fanatical shoppers. Russians spend 60 percent of their pretax income on retail purchases, a category that includes food, according to Jones Lang LaSalle, a real estate consulting firm. The country in second place in Europe is Sweden, where retailing accounts for 40 percent of total private spending. Germans, by comparison, spend 28 percent of their salaries shopping, according to Jones Lang LaSalle.
A megamall built for Russians, not surprisingly, is subtly distinct from the idealized urban environment preferred by Americans, a result of careful analysis of consumer behavior and Russian retailing desires.
Most Russian malls have a huge grocery store as an anchor tenant, rather than a department store. Russians are still struggling to find groceries in their neighborhoods. And the sight of row upon row of groceries, stacked to the ceiling, surely soothes a lingering sore spot in the soul of Russian women who were compelled, just two decades ago, to serve their children such items as canned seaweed and powdered milk.
Moscow, the new capital of malls, has more floor space in malls than any other European city, with 34 million square feet.
And as if to drive home the point that the Russian capital has long since moved on from the deprivation and hardship its name still evokes, it has shattered other shopping center records recently.
Belaya Dacha was one of the largest malls in Russia from 2007 until 2010, when it was overtaken by Vegas. The interior space of Vegas is 4.15 million square feet, larger than the Mall of America excluding the Nickelodeon Universe amusement park.
This is a big world with a lot of people in it, Dan Jasper, the spokesman for Mall of America, said. I think its great they are building these things in Russia, too.
And a new record-setter is going up. Avia Park in northwest Moscow will have 5 million square feet of interior space including covered parking, which will make it the largest mall in the world outside Asia. So, the market is buzzing. Morgan Stanley is in talks to buy another mall, the Metropolis in Moscow, for more than $1.2 billion, according to real estate professionals close to the negotiations who spoke on the condition of anonymity. The seller is Capital Partners, a Kazakh developer that opened the mall in 2009.MORE IN World/National BusinessWASHINGTON Long-term U.S. Full StoryNEW YORK Its not just the musical Hairspray that will air live on NBC tonight.

What is Native American Rock Art? There are two types of rock art: petroglyphs (motifs that are pecked, ground, incised, abraded, or scratched on the rock surface) and pictographs (paintings of drawings in one or more colors using mineral pigments and plant dyes on the rock surface). Although many images may have originally been executed as a combination of both techniques, most now appear only as a petroglyph because the paint material has faded or washed away over many years. On closer examination you might be able to see a painted design accompanying the pecked image. Examples of both types of both types of rock art are found among the sites described in this guide. Each site is unique. The patterns and motifs may be similar but are never quite the same. Styles vary from place to place, and from people to people.
Taking Care of Rock Art Sites Rock art sites on federal lands are nationally protected areas. The art is extremely fragile and once they are damaged the site can never be repaired to its original condition. Please avoid even touching the rock surface. Surprising as it may seem, the oils in a single handprint can chemically affect the rock surface. Take care so that others may marvel at these fragile and beautiful remains of the past. You will see evidence of vandalism such as bullet impacts, names and dates incised on the rock surface, remains of latex molds and chalk marks. Do not attempt to remove any form of vandalism, including signatures, dates and names. Site repair requires technical expertise and can be made more difficult by the good intentions of those without highly developed skills.
The People Rock art was produced by a number of prehistoric and historic peoples over thousands of years. Their histories in the area are very complex. A big game hunting people, known as Paleo-Indians, are considered to be the first human users in the area. Their game included now-extinct Pleistocene fauna such as mammoths and mastodons. A later culture, called Archaic, probably used central base camps during their seasonal round of activities based on harvesting wild plants and animals. They did not build permanent habitation structures but lived in caves and in small brush shelters built in the open.
The Anasazi, whose culture centered south of Moab in the Four Corners area, concentrated much of their subsistence efforts on the cultivation of corn, beans and squash. These sedentary people also harvested a wide variety of wild resources such as pinion nuts, grasses, bighorn sheep and deer. The Fremont, who were contemporary with the Anasazi people, also grew corn and were apparently more dependent on hunting and gathering wild resources than were the Anasazi. Their territory was mainly north of the Colorado River but overlapped with the Anasazi at Moab. Both cultures had a complex social structure and were highly adaptive to the extremes of the environment. The Anasazi and Fremont are classified by scientists as "Formative" cultures. The most recent inhabitants, the Utes, have been in southeast Utah since the 1200's. They were a very mobile hunting and gathering people who moved in from the Great Basin. They used the bow and arrow, made baskets and brownware pottery, and lived in brush wickiups and tipis. The No-tah (Ute people) lived freely throughout western Colorado and eastern Utah until about 1880, when they were forced onto reservations. Dating the Rock Art Although it is difficult to establish an exact age of rock art, some dating clues are easily identified. For example whenever a horse and rider is depicted, we know the date to be after AD 1540 when the Spaniards reintroduced the horse to the New World. The presence of bows and arrows is presumed to indicate a date after AD 500, the generally accepted time period for their appearance in this region. For purposes of this guide, time periods are broken into generalized categories relating to the people believed to have made them.

Horton receives lifetime award for recycling
- published_in
- Today's News
Horton was recognized for his commitment and leadership in waste reduction at the association's annual Summit for Recycling in June.
Horton worked at Western Disposal for 33 years, and he was at the helm from 2000 to 2013. He continues as a special adviser to the company.
He has spent his career on the forefront of the recycling business, continuously embracing change as an opportunity to innovate.
"From the beginning, one of Western's core guiding principles has been to adapt the scope of our services to meet the changing needs of our customers," Horton said. "We started our business in 1970, the year of the first Earth Day, when the environmental movement and recycling in particular really became mainstream ideas. We viewed environmental leadership as a responsibility and an opportunity. Almost 44 years later, it's foundational, part of Western's DNA; we consider impact on the environment not just in our core business but in everything we do."
The hallmark of Horton's tenure at Western Disposal is integration of local environmental stewardship with business practices.
Through a comprehensive suite of curbside collection services, Western has enabled Boulder and surrounding communities to achieve some of the highest diversion rates in the state.
Horton's legacy also includes building the only Class II composting facility in Boulder County, tapping advanced technology to reduce route vehicle miles traveled, constructing the largest solar awning in the state to power operations buildings, and putting the company on a path to replace all diesel collection vehicles with low-emissions compressed natural gas trucks by 2018.
"We wouldn't be who we are today without Gary's leadership and vision,´ said Danny Souders, founder and owner of Western Disposal. "First as CFO, then as president, Gary has kept us on a path that balances the soundness of our business with the environmental priorities of the community."

Dear Members,
Keep in mind that Character Bashing is now prohibited. Making fun of certain characters/character pairings leads to a pointless thread filled with insults and general rule breaking.
Also, remember that Versus threads are allowed only in the Versus section.
Thank you, NarutoBase Staff
i thought chiyo was dying, but slowly.....
I'm guessing Chiyo has a certain intolerance for it, maybe because she's so used to being around poison and working with similar tools. She did show signs of her body shutting down if you remember, it probably just took longer to circulate because she was old.
Still a good question to raise, thanks
Hardly a plot hole. I believe Chiyo said to Naruto n'all when she was healing Gaara that she was gone for anyway cause of the poisen.

That would mean that she wouldn't need the antidote at all...
no it wouldnt there is a difference between resistance and immunity and sasori poision was special it said meaning she probably wasnt immune but just had a general resistance to poision meaning it takes longer to take effect but still kill in the end

see this only helps prove my point as she did say she was done for meaning she did probably just have a resistance

Yes, but you get paralyzed within a minute. That's what I mean.
That awkward moment when you say I care and it completely blows up the arguers statement
Yeah nice catch!!! It could be that Chiyo had some natural poision resistence, but I understand how you feel being that Kankuro went out in minutes. Who knows how much will power the old lady had
Maybe Chiyo has resistance to poison since she is an expert on poison. Not saying that the poison would not have killed her but the effects probably took longer to take a toll on her than regular shinobi, she died anyways so who cares?
she overcame the paralyzing poison with her immense wisdom. lawyer'd
o-o Chiyo was already dieing though bro. X_X
This isn't even a plothole like others before me have stated. Again, it's possible she had an intolerance to poison so that it takes longer to effect her than other shinobi.

- Ready Time: 360 min
- Yield: 12 servings
- Crisco® Original No-Stick Cooking Spray
- 4 large eggs, separated
- 1 package Pillsbury™ Moist Supreme® White Premium Cake Mix
- 1 (about 13.5 oz.) can unsweetened coconut milk, well stirred, divided
- 1/2 cup water
- 1/4 cup Crisco® Pure Vegetable Oil
- 2 tablespoons fresh lime juice
- 1 tablespoon grated lime peel
- 1 (14 oz.) can Eagle Brand® Sweetened Condensed Milk
- 1/4 cup milk
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract, divided
- 2 cups heavy cream
- 1/2 cup powdered sugar
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/2 cup sweetened coconut flakes, toasted*
- Fresh lime slices (optional)
Preparation Directions
- HEAT oven to 350°F. Coat two 9-inch round baking pans with no-stick cooking spray. Line with wax paper or parchment paper. Coat with additional no-stick cooking spray. Beat egg whites in medium bowl with electric mixer on high speed until stiff. Set aside. Combine cake mix, 1/2 cup well stirred coconut milk, water, oil, lime juice, egg yolks and lime peel in large bowl. Beat with electric mixer on low speed until moistened. Beat an additional 2 minutes. Fold in beaten egg whites. Spread evenly in prepared pans.
- BAKE 28 to 32 minutes or until toothpick inserted in center comes out clean. Place pans on wire rack.
- WHISK sweetened condensed milk, milk, 1 teaspoon vanilla and remaining coconut milk until blended. Pierce each cake layer, through to the bottom, several dozen times with meat fork or skewer. Slowly and gradually spoon milk mixture over warm cake layers, allowing milk mixture to be completely absorbed between each addition (this could take 15 to 20 minutes). Cool completely. Cover and chill several hours or overnight.
- For Frosting: BEAT heavy cream, powdered sugar and 1/2 teaspoon vanilla in large bowl with electric mixer on high speed until stiff. Run knife around edge of cake pans to release cake layers. Remove cake layers from pans, discarding wax paper. Place one cake layer, rounded side down, on serving plate. Spread with 1 cup whipped cream. Place second cake layer on top, rounded side up. Spread top and sides of cake with remaining whipped cream. Sprinkle toasted coconut along top edge and base of cake. Garnish with lime slices, if desired.
- TIP *To toast coconut, spread coconut on microwave-safe pan. Microwave on HIGH 1 to 2 minutes, tossing with a fork after each minute. Remove from pan immediately to prevent overbrowning.

Back Pain
Back pain affects approximately half of pregnant women, sometimes beginning early in their pregnancy and continuing for months after they give birth. Persistent and severe back pain can interfere with daily life, work, and sleep, and can cause increased and unnecessary pain during delivery. However, there are a number of things you can do to reduce or eliminate your back pain.
There are three common kinds of lower back pain that strike during pregnancy: pain when you stand and/or sit, pain at the back of your pelvis and deep in your buttocks, and pain that appears only at night, when you are in bed. Back pain during pregnancy is usually the result of postural, weight, and hormonal changes. As your weight increases during your pregnancy, your center of gravity shifts forward and you naturally change your posture to compensate. The hormone relaxin is also released during your pregnancy, which causes your joints to become more flexible; while this increased flexibility is crucial during delivery, it decreases your lower back's stability during a time at which it's under added stress. Your abdominal muscles also stretch to give your baby room to grow, which means they can no longer stabilize your pelvis, leaving your spine and back muscles to do the job. And finally, the weight and pressure of the baby later in your pregnancy can compress nerves in your spine. No wonder you're uncomfortable!
Easing the Pain
If your pain does not get better, gets markedly worse, or is accompanied by a fever, chills, or aches, and extends up the right side of your back, it could be a kidney infection and you should see your doctor. Kidney infections are common during pregnancy and can cause premature labor and other complications, so it's important you receive proper medical attention immediately.

Three of biggest legislative initiatives aimed at social justice were created in the last 50 years - all kicked off while I was a barely a toddler:
Tomorrow, as part of the Affordable Care Act, open enrollment through the Health Insurance Marketplace, a new way to find health care coverage, begins. Providing affordable health care coverage for over 40 million uninsured and eligible Americans across the country is the next step into the social justice frontier. Many of these Americans face the most significant social, economic, and health challenges in this country. In trying to put the importance of this event into perspective I recalled the words of Dr. Martin Luther King.
"Of all forms of inequality, injustice in health care is the most shocking and inhumane."
As a children's doctor and longtime advocate for the well being of children and families, I view this next chapter in the Affordable Care Act, through lens of Dr. King's words, as being one of the most significant social justice investments our government has made or will make in my lifetime. Its importance rivals, if not equals or surpasses that of the initiatives listed above.
That is why I am so excited about tomorrow. History has shown that groundbreaking legislative change is not enacted often or easily. I want to make sure that those I can reach do not underestimate the extent of the positive impact the Affordable Care Act is having and will continue to have on the health well being of us all.
I congratulate the President for being brave enough, bold enough, and caring enough to tackle health care reform and to strike another blow for social justice.

- Experimental evaluation of the dynamic bond strength between CFRP sheets and steel under direct tensile loads
- Author(s)
- Al-Zubaidy, Haider A.; Zhao, Xiao-Ling; Al-Mahaidi, Riadh
- Abstract
- The efficiency and the adequacy of bonding carbon fibre reinforced polymer (CFRP) composites to strengthen/repair steel elements largely depend on the bond between the steel elements and the CFRP composite. To ensure high performance and safer strengthening/repair procedures, it is important to provide sufficient bond between the patching system and the steel by choosing a suitable adhesive. Although strengthened/repaired structures are more likely to be subjected to dynamic loadings, the effect of different loading rates on the adhesion bond between CFRP sheets and steel has not been examined to date. This paper presents an experimental investigation of the assessment of the adhesive strength between CFRP and steel under various dynamic rates (3.34×10 -5, 3.35, 4.43 and 5m/s) by utilising pull-off tests. The values from samples with one CFRP layer are higher than those with three layers for both Araldite 420 and MBrace saturant adhesives due to CFRP delamination. The loading rate affects the failure mode of samples with one CFRP layer for both Araldite 420 and MBrace saturant adhesives and remarkable changes are clearly shown at dynamic compared to static loadings. Conversely, the failure mode does not change for samples with three CFRP layers and remains CFRP delamination at all rates. Overall, the increase in pull-off strength is about 100% on average within the dynamic loading rates tested.

Every year more than 1 in 3 pets falls ill or is injured. And while it's amazing what veterinarians can do for our pets these days, a visit to the emergency room can run up to hundreds or even thousands of dollars in a very short space of time.
Many of us are not prepared financially to afford the level of care that modern veterinary medicine can provide and sometimes we compromise by giving our pets a level of care that is far from the best.
With pet insurance, you never have to choose between an expensive treatment and your pet's life. Just because your pet is happy and healthy today, doesn't mean things will always be that way. Pet insurance helps you prepare for any eventuality.

Memphis, the largest city in the state of Tennessee, is known for many things. It is the home of Elvis Presley, who will forever be known as the King of Rock and Roll, and his mansion Graceland that sees scores of visitors year-round. Memphis is one of the biggest southeastern cities and is mentioned in countless songs by artists ranging from Chuck Berry to Paul Simon. Known for some of the world's best barbeque and a lively music scene that has been thriving since the early days of country, blues and rock, the spirit of this city seems to have a life of its own.
There are numerous activities awaiting tourists in Memphis. Most visitors make their way to Graceland, particularly for the anniversary of Elvis's death every January, but Graceland only scratches the surface of what this city has to offer. There is the Memphis Walk of Fame on Beale Street, which celebrates the city's blues musicians and composers such as B.B. King and Aretha Franklin, just like the Hollywood Walk of Fame celebrates famous actors. Make time to stop by the clubs and bars along Beale Street that have helped carve out Memphis' reputation as a city full of music and nightlife. Another well-known attraction is the Civil Rights Museum, located at the Lorraine Motel. This is the location where Martin Luther King Jr. was assassinated, providing an ideal opportunity to reflect upon and to educate young people about our history.
Memphis also has a ton to offer sports lovers. The beloved Redbirds baseball team plays at AutoZone Park, which is a great way to soak up the local culture. The city hosts state baseball tournaments and football's Liberty Bowl and often plays host for games during March Madness at the University of Memphis. Memphis is full of colleges and universities, making it a true college town. Schools include Rhodes College, Memphis College of Art, Le Moyne-Owen College, Crichton College, Christian Brothers University, Baptist College of Health Sciences, Southern College of Optometry, the University of Tennessee Health Science Center, and the University of Tennessee College of Dentistry.
There is plenty of culture and entertainment to enjoy in Memphis as well. Catch a show or event at The Pyramid or the Mid-South Coliseum. You can always spend a day at the Memphis Zoo or any of the city's parks such as Tom Lee Park, W.C. Handy Park, Audubon Park, or Shelby Farms Park, which is one of the largest urban parks in America. And you won't want to miss Overton Park, a public park that includes the Old Forest Arboretum of Overton Park, the Lichterman Nature Center, and the Memphis Botanic Garden. The Liberty Bowl Memorial Stadium, the FedExForum, and Mississippi riverboat day cruises are also huge points of interest in the city.
Visitors looking for comfortable, convenient, and affordable hotels in Memphis, Tennessee need look no further than Extended Stay America.

Hi. When I found out I was pregnant I set a "goal" to breastfeed until Alasdair was 18 months. Well, he's almost 14 months and I'm ready, very ready, to be done with it. Maybe it's because he still eats ALL night. Maybe it's because the only way to get him to nap is to either a) nurse or b) hike. Maybe, mostly, because I'm somewhat selfish all of the sudden and I'm craving my body back. Also getting tired of wearing shirts that sag because of him tugging + whimpering, then once he gets the nipple in his mouth, he pops off and goes on to playing. I think he just wants to know it's there, available, if he does want it.
Really, I think I'd be happy to continue bfing and allow him to wean naturally if he would just cut down a tiny bit. He eats solids really well. He will go to sleep with my husband, without the boob, obviously... but when I'm around, he's a freak about it.
Today, for his nap, I played with him in bed for a while, then he asked for "mee-mee." I offered it to him, and when he was almost asleep I popped it out. He threw a fit. I decided he would be ok and didn't nurse him. Well, needless to say (maybe) he fell asleep about 45 minutes later, after throwing himself all over the bed, onto the floor, back to the bed, yada yada. finally I left the room and then my husband went in with him.
I'm struggling so much with my decision to wean/not wean, offer when? I'm really trying the "don't offer, don't refuse" method... as well as distracting with solids, but honestly sometimes I feel like I'm at the end of my rope---like I want to just leave for a week and break him that way.
I'm horrible. That sounds horrible. I could never do it, but that's what I feel like doing, which turns me into such a nasty person throughout the day.
Any advice? thank you.

How Businesses Should File Hurricane Sandy Insurance Claims
NEW YORK ( TheStreet) -- It's been over two weeks since Hurricane Sandy pummeled her way ashore in New York and New Jersey. For small businesses in the path of destruction, days of closed business as well as large cleanup and restoration efforts mean lost sales and high additional expenses.
It's not surprising when experts say a quarter of all small businesses don't reopen after a disaster happens. But there are ways to mitigate losses by having a business continuity plan ready to go and appropriate insurance provisions already in place.
Michael LoGiudice, managing director of insurance and litigation support at CBIZ's
If you haven't filed a claim already, LoGiudice, who has expertise in the valuation of business-interruption insurance claims resulting from flood, wind or storm surge damage, says it's not too late to do so, but there are steps that small-business owners should take immediately if they plan to file a claim.
Two types of coverage important for all businesses include business-income (or business-interruption) coverage and extra-expense policies. The former covers the loss of income during restoration and repairs. The latter is for added expenses incurred to keep your business running.
Here's what you need to know about filing insurance claims.
1. Contact your insurance company
It might seem obvious, but before you start pumping out water, get in touch with your insurance company. "When the disaster strikes, the most critical thing is to put
The sooner you contact the insurance company, the sooner claims can begin to get processed. "Sometimes these claims take as long as nine months to a year to settle," he says.
2. Keep bills and expenses separate.
This includes any bills from demolition and repair work as well as expenses incurred as a result of temporarily changing your business model to keep customers. "Keep that separate because you might be able to claim for these costs," he says.
For example, during Hurricane Katrina, area hotels weren't able to open because they couldn't get clean linens. Some ended up loading semi-tractor trailers and trucking dirty linens 150 miles to get them cleaned and trucked back, LoGiudice says.
"That's a completely extraordinary expense that you would never do in normal course of business, but it's the type of thing that an extra expense pays you for," he says.
3. Don't try to guess damages.
An adjuster is tasked with giving the insurance company an estimate of how much the damage totals, but you may also want to hire your own expert to assess damages.

A Couple Apps to Share
Posted on October 18, 2011
We don't just fix iPhones. We spend plenty of time on our own devices.
Senior Technician Taylor admits to spending most of his weekend playing with Morfo 3D Face Booth. I wish I was kidding. But check out the hilarious video below. It's pretty self-explanatory of what the app does. Taylor says it's the best $1.99 he's ever spent. What's more funny is watching him dance while watching the video he's made. I'll have to rig up a hidden camera to catch that gem.
We also discovered Fake Conversation this week. It lets you arrange a fake phone call to your iPhone. Great to get yourself out of that boring family function or just to impress girls at the bar (there's a Doctor conversation that tells you what to say so you sound professional).

For the third time in six months, a boulder came crashing down into a Honolulu neighborhood after heavy rains Friday.
No one was hurt, but the massive rock narrowly missed a house.
At about 7:45 a.m., a boulder began zigzagging down the mountain in Waialae Nui Valley. It bounced off a curb, crushing it, flew over a car, knocked out a fire hydrant, and bounced off a tree, before it came to a stop 15 feet from a woman's bedroom.
"Nothing happened like this before, but I was afraid of it, that it might happen," Charlotte Higa said.
She wasn't home when the boulder tumbled down, but she's been keeping a watchful eye on this mountain ever since August, when a huge boulder killed Dara Onishi in Nuuanu while she slept.
"I've been thinking, maybe someday one of the boulders might come down and hit my bedroom," Higa said.
Joy Kugiyama, Charlotte's next-door neighbor, was in her house when the massive rock fell.
"I heard the loud boom," Kugiyama said. "It sounded like something hit our house. I guess it hit the fire hydrant."
The 4-foot by 5-foot boulder was taken a block away from where it landed by city workers.
Pieces of wood and dirt were embedded in it, souvenirs from its trip down the mountain, possibly caused by recent heavy rains.
"We've been kind of worried, but we're just hoping nothing like this would happen. We never thought it would happen to us on this mountain," Kugiyama said. "Thank God nobody got hurt."
Kamehameha Schools owns this hillside below Wilhelmina Rise where the boulder came from. A schools' spokesman said they sent a team to investigate and are evaluating the situation.
Kamehameha Schools also owns the land above Lalea in Hawaii Kai, where falling rocks led to the evacuation of some homes this past November.
The Kugiyamas said they're not going to let their kids play in front of the house anymore. Higa said she's considering moving all together.

235 Students Receive Degrees During BSC Baccalaureate Commencement Exercises
Two hundred thirty-five Bluefield State College students received degrees during Saturday's Baccalaureate Degree portion of the institution's 100th Commencement Exercises at the Ned Shott Gymnasium on the BSC campus. Altogether, 465 degrees were conferred during Bluefield State College's Associate Degree and Baccalaureate Degree graduations this weekend.
Bluefield attorney J. Franklin Long, a BSC graduate, delivered Saturday's Commencement Address. A member of the Bluefield State College Foundation executive board and past president of the Mountain State Bar Association, Long's address centered on "failures, experiences, and habits." He told the graduates and guests, "Name and then forget your failures, claim and benefit from your experiences, and ingrain and develop good habits. We build our characters from the bricks of habit we lay, day by day," he noted. "Each brick seems like a little thing, but before we are aware of it, we have built a house we have to live in."
Charles W. Mossor, who received a Bachelor of Science in Electrical Engineering Technology degree, was recognized as BSC's 1997 valedictorian and Fred J. Weber, Jr., who received a Bachelor of Science in Accountancy, was honored as the BSC class of '96 salutatorian.
Well-known Bluefield philanthropist and volunteer June Oblinger Shott received an honorary Doctorate of Humanities from Bluefield State College during the program. She is a member and vice-chair of the BSC Institutional Board of Advisors, the BSC Foundation executive board. Two years ago, her gift to the College permitted the establishment of a new scholarship program, and the College, last September, named its new Center for Extended Learning in her honor.
Sheila Parks, Associate Professor of Nursing, received the "BSC Foundation Outstanding Faculty Award." A BSC nursing faculty member, Parks is very active in a variety of HIV/AIDS education programs on a local, state, and national level. Later this month, for the third consecutive year, she will work as a nursing health volunteer at an Indian reservation in South Dakota.
Twenty-seven returning members of the BSC class of 1947 were honored upon the 50th anniversary of their graduation from the College during Saturday's Commencement Exercises.
