They say you spend 18 years preparing your child for the day he or she will leave the nest. �That's all very well and good. But who is supposed to prepare YOU for the day your child leaves the nest?
We dropped my son off at college yesterday and he settled right in like he'd always been there. �Me? �I cried the whole way home in the car, the whole night, and then again when I woke up in the morning. It was the sight of his perfectly made bed and clean room this morning that did me in. His room was never that clean when he was actually living in it. �I thought about going in there and throwing some shoes and socks on the floor and piling up a couple of dirty ice cream bowls on the nightstand just to try to fool myself that he was still around. But then I realized the dog would eat the socks and then throw up and I'd rather be sad that my son is at college then mad because I have to clean up dog puke, so I decided to leave the room alone.
Then I thought about texting him to see how it was going. �But I figured there is probably nothing uncooler than being at college and trying to make new friends when you suddenly get a text from your mom asking how it was going and if you made any friends yet.
I also could have Instagrammed him a kissy face or Facebooked him a message, but ultimately I decided not to contact him at all. �Back when I was in college, my parents had to call my dorm room to reach me, and since we didn't even have an answering machine, if they didn't catch me in the room, they were out of luck. These days, there are no less than a half dozen ways for me to connect with my son while he's at school (not including the hidden camera I stuck to his alarm clock. Just kidding. Maybe.) But as a parent, the tricky part of social media is actually knowing when NOT to use it. �Much as I'd love to hear his voice or get a message from him, I recognize that in these first few days of independence, he needs time to test his wings, without me looming in the background questioning his choices.
Still, I felt like I needed to do something. I needed to be useful somehow. �I needed to feel like he still needed me.
So I went out and bought him new boxers.
Because nothing says I love you and I miss you like clean underwear…
Except, maybe, clean socks.
Which I bought him, too.

Andy Soule, the first American to ever medal in biathlon at the Olympic or Paralympic Winter Games, highlights the roster for the 2012-13 U.S. Paralympic Nordic Skiing National Team.
COLORADO SPRINGS, Colo. ― U.S. Paralympics, a division of the United States Olympic Committee, announced today that six athletes were nominated to the 2012-13 U.S. Paralympic Nordic Skiing National Team; three athletes were also named to the development team for emerging and military athletes.
The national team is highlighted by five athletes with U.S. military ties including Andy Soule (Pearland, Texas), ret. Army, and Lieutenant Dan Cnossen (Jamestown, Mich.), U.S. Navy. Soule won the bronze medal in biathlon at the Vancouver 2010 Paralympic Winter Games, becoming the country's first ever medalist in Paralympic or Olympic biathlon. Last winter, in just his second season with the program, Cnossen was Team USA's top performer, garnering multiple top-10 results in biathlon and cross country events. Kelly Underkofler (St. Paul, Minn.), a three-time U.S. Paralympian, is also among the national team nominees.
"I am excited to nominate a team of Nordic athletes who are highly talented and absolutely determined to climb on to the podium in the coming years," said Director of Paralympic Nordic Skiing High Performance, U.S. Paralympics, John Farra. "Our program is building, and towards that end, we have worked hard this season to increase the opportunities for U.S. Paralympics Nordic athletes, including inviting 16 athletes to participate in the IPC World Cups we held in Hayward, Wis., and Minneapolis. We were thrilled to see a significant improvement in the numbers of athletes participating in Nordic this past season, as well as the number of athletes on track to compete for medals in Sochi in 2014."
The 2012-13 season includes the IPC World Championships as well as World Cup competitions in Poland and Ukraine. The World Cup, which kicks off the season in December in Finland, finishes with test event in Sochi, Russia, at the site of the Sochi 2014 Paralympic Winter Games.

New Millennium Program
Project DescriptionNASA space science missions have ventured to the moon, explored other planets, traveled to the edges of our solar system, and peered back in time. They have also done what is sometimes even more difficult - studied our own planet, Earth.
These missions have provided astounding views of the universe and new knowledge of our solar system, but there is still so much more to "see" and learn. And, as missions become progressively more daring, and thus more difficult, more advanced capabilities are needed. However, before new, untried technologies are used for the first time on complex exploration missions, engineers and scientists want to make sure they will operate well, and safely, in the hazardous environment of space.
To accomplish this, NASA's Office of Space Science (OSS) and Office of Earth Science jointly established the New Millennium Program (NMP) in 1995 - an ambitious, exciting vision to speed up space exploration through the development and testing of leading-edge technologies. A unique program, managed by the Jet Propulsion Laboratory/California Institute of Technology, NMP provides a critical bridge from initial concept to exploration-mission use. Through NMP, selected technologies are demonstrated in the "laboratory" of space that can't be replicated on Earth.
Since its inception over a decade ago, NMP has validated many innovative technologies for both Earth science and space science missions. Now funded and managed solely out of NASA's newly formed Science Mission Directorate (SMD), the Program continues to demonstrate advanced technologies that will enable space science missions of the 21st century with significant (a several-generation leap) technical capabilities.
Highly advanced technologies are key to more capable, powerful, and efficient spacecraft and science instruments. They are also key to gathering new and exciting scientific knowledge of our solar system and of our universe.

His performance at the Republican Convention notwithstanding – I refuse to hold a grudge in light of his talent and his immense body of work – Clint Eastwood is the best anti-hero in film.
The only other actor I can think of who routinely played the hero/anti-hero was Humphrey Bogart. Casablanca, The Big Sleep, The Treasure of the Sierra Madre, The Maltese Falcon… but Eastwood plays a far more hardened anti-hero than Bogart ever did.
John Wayne walked a thin line in The Searchers, and he played a sloppy drunk in True Grit, but John Wayne was the icon, John Wayne, and his iconic status as a hero was hard to escape. I preferred Jeff Bridges in the remake. What a perfect anti-hero, U.S. Marshall Reuben J. "Rooster" Cogburn. Bridges played the character straight up, right out of the pages of the novella by Charles Portis.
On Christmas Day I watched High Plains Drifter, a movie Mr. Eastwood both directed and starred in. The unnamed protagonist is merciless, vicious. And the film is brutal. But it's also unforgettable.
Here's some of the plot~
A stranger on horseback rides into the mining town of Lago. Three gun-toting men follow him into the saloon, taunting him. When they follow him to the barbershop, he kills all three of them. Impressed with this performance, a dwarf named Mordecai befriends the Stranger. An attractive woman named Callie Travers bumps into him in the street and insults and badgers him. When she slaps him, he drags her into the livery stable and rapes her. Next, he rents a room at the hotel. That night, he dreams about a man being brutally whipped. It is revealed later that Marshal Jim Duncan was whipped to death by gunfighters Stacey Bridges, Dan Carlin, and Cole Carlin while the people of Lago looked on. Only Sarah Belding, wife of hotelier Lewis Belding, made any attempt to rescue him.
You can read the rest here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/High_Plains_Drifter
Not many actors would take the risks Eastwood has taken in his long career.
All hail the anti-hero. He makes any story more interesting.

It has been amazing to know Dee Dee Bridgewater, and an honor to hear her read my name occasionally in the credits for JazzSet. And what an artistic career! Her latest recording, "Red Earth," a collaboration with Malian musicians, is just another reminder of how truly hip she is.
Long before she was the host of NPR's JazzSet (a program lovingly produced here at WBGO), Dee Dee Bridgewater was a part of our annual New Year's Eve coast-to-coast celebration, Toast of the Nation. From the ballroom at the Grand Hyatt in New York, Bridgewater greeted 1996 on the East Coast with music from her then recent recording, Love and Peace: A Tribute to Horace Silver.
Listen to Dee Dee Bridgewater sing "Song for My Father," from the WBGO Archives.

Christopher in New York writes:
I hope that all Americans applicate your statements in Mexico admitting that we, America, do bare responsibility for the state of affairs in Mexico. How exactly though, will the proposed solutions fix the problems? So far I've heard that we will be providing Mexico with aid (mostly as I understand, for police and military), or further "securing" the boarder solve these problems. Isn't it true that the boarder can't possibly be secured completely, and that no amount of aid and change the fundamental problems causing such crisis. You said that the American people's addiction to drugs is what fuels the cartels, but doesn't the cracking down on the boarder, and the enforcement of strict U.S. drug laws, precisely the thing that makes the price of those drugs rise higher and higher? Is it not true then that the higher the prices become the MORE incentive the cartels will have to do business?
Rosemary in New Jersey writes:
Well I have tried this and every channel Greta suggested and cannot get in. Is it possible that Hillary's people have crashed the system? There are 18,000,000 of us in the U.S. alone. How many more in Mexico are trying to watch?
Greta says they call her by her first name like Cher and Madonna. Well, so do we! How many of us are trying to watch this?
Hillary requires a lot of bandwidth. So many people love her.

I would like to express my sincere relief that the U.S. has a Secretary of State who I can believe in. I am very proud of our U.S. Secretary and wish her the best. I would like Secretary of State Clinton know that I am thinking about her wherever she is with my whole hearted regard and good wishes.
Rhett in Massachusetts writes:
I am so discouraged by how moronic this administration is with regards to the failed drug war. I come to one of two conclusions.
1: complete ignorance. They don't get it and foolishly think they can force people to stop using marijuana. (Good luck and how's that going for ya so far?)
2: they are completely corrupt and on the take. Bought and paid for by crime lords who benefit from our corrupt marijuana prohibition.
Leaders of the Americas should be very cautious about allowing the U.S. to export our failed drug policies beyond our borders. Be cautious about allowing the U.S. to export the prison for profit systems and be very cautious when the U.S. asks you oppress your citizens and treat them as rotten as we treat ours.
Hopefully some of the leaders of the Americas will have the integrity to look Hillary in the eye and say "NO". We will not be party to your foolishness.

A group of veterinarians in Texas has created a Veterinary Cancer Registry to help advance the knowledge of cancer in our pets and possibly help people affected by cancer at the same time. This well respected group is suggesting that many times it is more useful—for both animals and humans—if the testing of cancer therapies would be done on dogs and cats instead of mice, The Associated Press reports. While mice will always play a large role in research, dogs and cats get many of the identical kinds of cancers that affect people and these cancers tend to run their course faster in dogs and cats. By working together with human cancer researchers, new therapies will be offered to our pets and in the process may help determine which therapies may work best in humans.
When a pet is diagnosed with cancer, the owner is encourage to register their pet at http://texasvetcancerregistry.com/. Registry staff will contact the pet's veterinarian for additional information and then look for potential research matches. The goal is to help sick cats and dogs while also discovering more about how the disease could be treated in humans.
Currently, the standard treatment for most cancers in pets is surgical removal of the lump, and sometimes part or the entirety of the affected organ, according to VCA Animal Hospitals. Other treatments include radiation and chemotherapy.
According to ABC News, one dog has already appeared to benefit from a clinical trial using a new treatment for bone cancer. It is hoped that these novel therapies will not only help additional dogs, but may someday also help children with the same condition.
The AP reports that about a fourth of the 77.5 million owned dogs in the U.S. will develop cancer, and owners are increasingly willing to do whatever it takes to save them.

Read the Interview
Click here to read our interview with Skolnick discussing Veritas.
There are several reasons why we're choosing to focus on the Gm7 chord. First, Gm7 provides a rare intersection between jazz and hard rock. Unlike some common jazz keys such as Bb major and Eb minor, the key of G minor is one that most hard rock guitarists have come across at some point (think Deep Purple's "Smoke On The Water" and Edgar Winter's "Frankenstein"). It's often used in jazz, both as the foundation of the key of G minor (vi of Bb major) or the ii of F major. Examples include the Wes Montgomery classic "Four On Six" (from The Incredible Jazz Guitar Of Wes Montgomery) and the Michael Brecker track with Pat Metheny on guitar "Nothing Personal" (from the album Michael Brecker). On my new trio album, Veritas, there is a tune which features an extended Gm7 jam and one of the examples (Fig. 11) is transcribed directly from that track. All the examples here can work well over the groove used on "The River Lethe."
The concept of upper extensions is based on the idea that there are four primary chord tones: root, 3, 5, and 7. Beyond those lie the 9, 11, and 13 (in essence, this refers to the 2, 4, and 6 played in the next octave). The first example shown in Fig. 1 is an arpeggio consisting of the four primary chord tones of Gm7, the root, minor 3rd, 5 and minor 7th (G–Bb–D–F). Listen to how it sounds over a Gm7 chord—with only the basic chord tones, it blends in discreetly.
Download Example Audio...
Fig. 2 adds a little bit more color to the mix, leaving out the root, beginning on the third and extending to the 9: minor 3rd, 5, minor 7th, and 9 (Bb–D–F–A).
Download Example Audio...
The example shown in Fig. 3 starts on the next note (fifth) and extends to the 4 (also known as the 11): 5, minor 7th, 9, and 11.

We continue with Fig. 4 by starting on the next note (minor 7th) and extends to the 13.

Try playing each arpeggio from one into the next, ascending (Fig. 5) and descending (Fig. 6). Similarly all four can be played as sweep arpeggios.

Allison DuBois was the speaker. For those who don't know, the television show "Medium" was based on her work here in the Phoenix area. As much as I enjoyed the show seeing her in person is amazing. She glows with positive energy and a love of life. I have all of her books including the one she signed Friday, Talk To Me. Allison's husband, Joe, and her daughters were with her. Isn't that wonderful?
The place was packed, far beyond what anybody expected, so we couldn't see her during the talk but I heard her just fine. Some of the things that stand out are:
When we pass-on we revert to the age at which we were happiest. As another of Allison's books says, We Are Their Heaven, so they choose to stay with us. Ask them to give a sign that is indelibly them . . . such as a favorite flower or food. Keep your "conversations" with them happy. They don't want to see you unhappy. If you put pictures up around your house choose ones from when they were younger or happy or well. If you enter a place or room and it feels sick, as if the room has cancer, acknowledge that feeling and it will go away.
When the talk was over and Allison was nearly finished signing I finally made my way up to her to have my book signed and talk for a minute. The last time I saw her she talked about Tombstone, Arizona being one of her favorite places to go because of all the energy. I asked her this time if she had been there lately and she said no but she loves to stay in the Rose Room at the Silver Nugget bed and breakfast. I told her about some of my experiences in the town and it was just great to connect with someone with that common interest . . . even if just for a few moments.
Here's the photo my husband took of our meeting:

I think you are agreeing with me. I am saying that they must maximize the times when they are playing hot, and minimize when they are cold. Im not saying they are a shoe in for the postseason by any means.

John-
I do my best to be positive, but it is hard for me not to blame Jim Tracy when he continuously goes back to the same ineffective relievers when he has better options. When Tracy wins a game for the club, I will give him credit, but the previous two games were about Carlos Gonzalez, not Tracy. Sure, he deserves some credit, he did a great job, but he wasn't the story. The three games that I do believe that he lost for the club, he was the story.

I always appreciate comments. Keep em coming!David Martinhttp://firstname.lastname@example.com:blogger.com,1999:blog-1969572709836208987.post-70170329157245725442011-05-18T20:04:45.962-06:002011-05-18T20:04:45.962-06:00Miketober, Please put down the crack pipe! Did yo...Miketober,

I think we all ...I agree completely with your post. I think we all hoped that this year's team would be a little different than in past years with the big winning and losing streaks. I would be much happier as a fan if they consistently went along winning 2 out of every 3, slowly pushing the record to 20 or 25 games above .500 like a juggernaut. But that is not our Rockies team. They are a schizophrenic ball club. When they are playing well they look like the 1927 Yankees. And then in a blink of an eye they fall apart and do everything wrong. I think we as fans have to accept that and have faith and hope that the winning streaks outweigh the losing streaks, and they make as much hay as possible when the sun is email@example.com:blogger.com,1999:blog-1969572709836208987.post-24871065520984254422011-05-18T09:30:40.278-06:002011-05-18T09:30:40.278-06:00John R- "JIM TRACY MANAGES ROCKIES INTO TWO C...John R-
"JIM TRACY MANAGES ROCKIES INTO TWO CONSECUTIVE WINS!!" David, shouldn't that be the headline for today's blog? You have been pretty scathing in your analysis and have (by my count) blamed Tracy directly for at least three losses. I think it smacks too much of "20-20 hindsight." Hey, it's your blog and far be it from me to tell you what to write, but I DO think that you've overdone this theme at times. I think that all Tracy can do is put his guys in the best position to succeed (and that IS something he considers a lot) but some of the time it doesn't work out. This is just my observation, and maybe it isn't right, but it seems to me that back when Tulo was a rook', your formula for managing would have only let him struggle for a few days and then you'd have sent him back to the minors. Same thing with Cargo two years ago. I think that there are times when you just have to let them play for fifty games to give them a real shot. Willie Mays was like that- and we all know what happened there. I think that it actually comes down to preferring Casey Stengel to Sparky Anderson. Stengel was the guy who "invented" platooning ( L vrs. R) and Sparky was a "seat of the pants" style manager who managed pretty damn well by instinct. I'd rather have Casey, and I think that Tracy's like that. (Of course you could probably foil my argument by citing another "percentage" guy- Gene Mauch, but I'd counter with John McNamara! lol) I don't know what to think of the Rox so far, but I HOPE that they become a team which thrives on "bucking the averages." By that I mean that they take a lot of pride in beating both Linsacum and Sanchez in that short series. I hope that they are a little peeved that they don't get to face Halliday. I think that that kind of chip on the shoulder is really what makes a championship email@example.com:blogger.com,1999:blog-1969572709836208987.post-36902453568993574112011-05-18T08:57:16.623-06:002011-05-18T08:57:16.623-06:00It is funny David. Just two short days ago the Roc...It is funny David. Just two short days ago the Rockies were on their way out with a horrible bullpen and on a downward spiral to fall way short of even making the post season. Now they are world beaters again and destined to make a run in October. As I said before sit tight Rockies fans this thing could go either way but know this. There is enough talent on this team to run away and hide in this division and time will only tell. Every team in the majors has its holes and has its strengths. The big question Rockies fan should be asking themselves is. When the other teams make their trades and pick ups at the deadline. Will the Rockies stand pat as usual or make that move to improve the team and fill the holes in the bullpen and third base etc. The answer to that question is very simple. I encourage every die hard and closet Rocky fan to fill that park up every night and don't just wait till September and look at the standings and go maybe we should attend a game. It is paramount that you fill the stadium full every night and give the ownership the revenue and no excuse not to make a move to improve down the stretch and make this thing a runaway division winner. Come on Rockies fans lets make this a top ten baseball city in America and bring home some tiles.Michael firstname.lastname@example.com

– (July 14, 2014) – The University of Maryland Eastern
Shore announced today that Dr. Patrick Liverpool is joining President Juliette
Bell's administrative team as interim provost and vice president for academic
"Dr. Liverpool has an impressive academic
leadership background and broad experience as a college administrator," Bell
said. "He has a reputation of engaging and collaborating with faculty and staff
in a way that will enable UMES to continue seamlessly the work we do to prepare
students for challenges they'll face as graduates."
Liverpool, who calls Richmond home, retired
from Delaware State University in Dover, where he served as the Dean of the School
of Management as well as the MBNA Professor of Management.
Since retiring, he has worked at several
universities in an interim capacity, including Central State University in
Ohio, where he replaced Dr. Bell as interim provost when she became UMES' 15th president.
This past academic year, Liverpool was the Interim Dean of the School of
Business and Economics at North Carolina A&T State University in Greensboro.
He previously served as Interim Executive Vice President and Provost at Fisk
University and Interim Dean of the School of Business at Florida A&M
"I have completed several interim positions
with the intention of ensuring there is continuity and progress, and to lay the
groundwork for the incoming provost or dean," Liverpool said.
"I do not accept an interim assignment with the intent of
pursuing a personal agenda – nor with aspirations to be the next provost or
dean," he said. "My job is to help President Bell and the University move
forward to achieve its mission and vision."
Earlier in his career, Dr. Liverpool was a
Vice Provost at Virginia Tech and an Interim Associate Vice Chancellor for Academic
Affairs at NC A&T. Additionally, he served as Dean of the business schools
at Virginia State, and Virginia Union universities. He was also a member of the
faculties at Fisk University, the University of Toledo, and Howard University
before moving into administration.
Liverpool earned his undergraduate and MBA
degrees from the Inter-American University of Puerto Rico and his Doctorate of
Business Administration from Kent State University.
He has a diploma in Labour and Cooperation from the Afro-Asian
Institute in Tel Aviv, Israel, and participated in executive management
programs at Harvard University and Harvard Business School.
"Patrick shares our values and our vision for this University," Bell
said, "and I know students, faculty and the entire campus community will be
energized by his enthusiasm and energy as an educator."

Here's the Only Company More Misunderstood Than Apple
Why? Because he's not a bean counter. He thinks about the big picture. He conducts on-the-ground research in Silicon Valley, among other places. And his hard work produces some of the best articles on TheStreet.
Prior to earnings, Wahlman said to pay attention to Model S demand and Tesla's timeline to profitability. After the report, he emailed:
The only thing that matters in this report is that they have accelerated profitability by 9 months (4Q13 to 1Q13) while maintaining the 2013 sales goal of 20,000 cars. This is a clear incremental positive.
Everything else is noise ...
Wahlman stayed consistent not because he wants to be right, but because he is right. There's a relatively small, yet meaningful difference between the two things.
Investors misunderstand some stocks to the upside. Netflix (NFLX) -- prime example. Though I don't agree, others consider Amazon.com (AMZN) the poster child. Other companies/stocks get misunderstood to the downside. Pandora (P) , though on a nice run of late, and Apple (AAPL) come to mind, but there's no stock more misunderstood -- whether it's going up or down -- than TSLA.
Tesla's different for many reasons; in particular, because it's more of a political battleground than a Wall Street battleground. It's bad enough when the media influences sentiment -- and, subsequently, the stock price -- on names such as AAPL or Facebook (FB) with run-of-the-mill versions of mindless reporting. But it's worse when it plays a role in shaping how people feel about Tesla the company on the basis of governmental policy vis-a-vis the electric car and other so-called "environmentally-friendly" initiatives.
Bearishness towards or even disdain for Tesla often ends up being little more than an outcome of hatred for Barack Obama or "liberal California." The Feds and the state provide tax breaks to people who buy electric cars so, just like that, there's no way EVs can be good -- as cars, as innovation, as a business, as anything.
Like conservative and former General Motors (GM) executive Bob Lutz has said several times, right wing smear campaigns cloud reality and rational conversation over electric vehicles.
Tesla's not a car company. It's closer to Apple and Lululemon (LULU) in spirit and execution than it is Ford (F) or GM. In fact, Apple could learn a lot about its roots and better protect its image by taking a close look at Tesla.
Most people in North America (or the world for that matter) will never see a Model S in person. You have to live in certain pockets of the continent (or, again, the world; about a quarter of Tesla's reservations come from outside of the U.S./Canada/Mexico) to catch a glimpse of one, in the flesh, parked curbside, in a lot or zooming down the avenue.

I'm starting to experience fun of growing plants again, i didn't really grow anything after i moved to different city from my parents to finish education.
Last summer i planted few loquats from seed and it's actually growing well, though no fruits for a while >_>
And some unusual stuff for south Japan.
I was searching where i could buy beets, but no luck. Quite many people didn't even know what it is Then i thought, why not grow it, since we have some land we can use. My relatives send me some seeds and it actually arrived safely, sprouts appeared really fast.
About a week ago i found an apple tree(Fuji) in local gardening shop... and bought it About a year ago i remember reading an article somewhere about growing apples in really hot places, where people usually grow all kinds of citrus trees. Now i will have my own small experiment. But i heard that without different kind of apple trees to cross-pollinate there will be really few fruits and with unusual climate i wonder if something will appear at all.
Next target is to get some camellia sinensis But first need to research a bit, how to grow it. Any tips where to get useful information on this?

Issues with Gladstone renovation
Gladstone Delta Avenue renovation will begin on April 29 from 14th Street to just before city hall – new 7-foot sidewalks, new 7-foot boulevards, a parallel parking lane and one driving lane each way.
A Grant will not totally cover the cost. The DDA and city are contributing. Excess costs will be assessed to affected property owners based on footage (minimum $800 each payable over five years).
Snow will no longer be removed. The city will plow all snow on boulevards and leave it, cutting down corners if snow gets too high.
Grass and trees will be planted but watering and maintenance will be the property owner's responsibility as on any other city street.
Existing sidewalks or driveways from a house to the road will be extended across the boulevard.
I have issues with this project:
1. There is significant increased hazard entering Gladstone or parking on the narrowed street. The city argues this is like on any street, but apparently did not consider the high traffic volume on Delta. The high boulevard snowbanks will cause visibility problems for children and pedestrians crossing the road, cars pulling out of side streets and driveways, and access to sidewalks difficult except at the corners. This is especially dangerous and difficult for the handicapped. This is different than other streets as Delta Avenue will have both the parking and street lanes of snow plowed on the boulevard.
3. According to the city, leaving the snow on the boulevard will not cause more sewer drainage, saying snow will melt into the boulevard, saving the city sewage and removal costs.
5. If landowners do not water the boulevard, there will be dead grass and weeds, not lush lawn as the city plans, thereby negating a cozy, pretty entrance into town.
6. According to a real estate appraiser property values will decrease due to loss in easy access to our office, and the additional maintenance, not increase as the city believes.
7. We have parking in the back of our building, but the majority of our clients use the convenience of parking on the street. Narrowed lanes will make getting out of vehicles hazardous.
8. A center boulevard was considered, but city crews have maintenance issues with the 10th Street boulevard. There are prohibitive additional costs, i.e. sewer and curb involved with constructing a center boulevard.
9. The city was wrong in not notifying the involved property owners until this was a done deal. In a recent Daily Press article recently published not all the facts were disclosed.
It appears the city was excited to get grant money to partially cover the cost of the project, but didn't fully explore the consequences.
The city hall will not be affected, as the boulevards will stop mid-block. The engineers indicate a prior paving project left a "stopping" point right before city hall.
Grant funds do not allow angle parking which the city would lose.

Skip to comments.New plan. We just wont collect the taxes
Posted on 12/09/2012 5:00:21 PM PST by SeekAndFind
There's a new bit of creative thinking making the rounds in DC this weekend, proving yet again that not all ideas wind up being good ones. According to this line of thought, assuming no deal is reached to prevent tax rates from going up on the middle class, Timothy Geithner has certain, hidden superpowers which will save the day. If the tax rates go up, people won't need to worry about it because we just won't withhold the extra money from their paychecks.
The White House has the power to temporarily protect taxpayers from middle-class tax hikes even as upper income rates rise if Congress does nothing and all of the Bush-era tax rates expire in January.
Experts and lawmakers alike agree that Treasury Secretary Timothy Geithner has the power to adjust how much is withheld from paychecks for tax purposes for all taxpayers or just for some.
By doing so, Geithner could ensure paychecks reflect the White House position that wealthier taxpayers with annual income higher than $250,000 see their taxes rise. Geithner at the same time could leave withholding tables where they are for the middle class, ensuring those workers dont see a higher cut from their paychecks.
I've noticed a bit of confusion out there, particularly given some of the comments popping up on Twitter, so we should first identify what this doesn't mean. The White House can not simply ignore the tax laws put in place by Congress and collect a different amount of tax than what is due, and this proposal isn't suggesting that. If the tax rate goes up, you're still going to owe more money.
But what they're talking about is the fact that Treasury is responsible for publishing the withholding tables which employers use to determine how much to deduct from workers' paychecks for their taxes. In theory, Geithner could leave the withholding tables the same for lower income workers, effectively making it seem as if their taxes haven't gone up. But this is a pretty dangerous game to play unless you're very sure you know what the eventual tax rate is going to be and when it will go into effect. If you guess wrong and fail to withhold the correct amount, tens of millions of people will find themselves owing a big ole' check to the IRS when tax day rolls around and you'll find yourself about as popular as a skunk at a garden party.
So what does this plan actually "solve" in terms of the ongoing tax debate? In reality… nothing.
Another phony, dick move by the Admin.
I have a better Idea tax cheat lets stop paying taxes in mass. If you starve the pig it dies and so does all the sucklings.
How 'bout we just don't pay them...worked for Timmy.
RE: I have a better Idea tax cheat lets stop paying taxes in mass.
Won't they be arrested?
Yet another example of the Obama Executive branch just taking over legislative functions like a dictatorship. If Congress doesn't go along they will just implement what they want via IRS
Not sure how you do that. They already have our 2012 tax money. For 2013 you could reduce withholding but then what? Not file? Conservatives are like cats. They can't be herded. You can't count on millions to even fall in line to vote for a single conservative candidate to take out Romney much less be willing to go to jail
Then we deserve what we have.
"...I have a better Idea tax cheat lets stop paying taxes in mass. If you starve the pig it dies and so does all the sucklings...."
I think that is one of their biggest fears is a massive income tax revolt. It's a tax that is absolutely disgusting and they know it. That's why they absolutely crush even the slightest resistance to keep the "unwashed masses" in line and the dollars rolling in. 14 million seems to be the magic number for not being able to track and jail illegals. IF 14 million taxpayers all quite at the same time, the PIG would starve in a matter of days. They cannot put 14 million people in jail. Even if they tried, the repercussions would be absolutely staggering and on a level that they couldn't handle. It's got to be one of their biggest fears.
Imagine what would happen to mush heads who did not realize the tax withholding game and come up with huge payments due to the IRS at tax filing time. : (
That is a real and clear cut middle class wealth shake down even the stupidest porn addict, druggy liberals can comprehend. You owe the US government $2,000 now. "Obama's free stuff ain't free and here's the bill with your name on it!"
I would let Obama play that game, if I was able to decide. We need all Americans with skin in the tax game.
The list, Ping
Let me know if you would like to be on or off the ping list
The list, Ping
Let me know if you would like to be on or off the ping list
I agree. Come April 15th we should all go to our local post offices and burn our tax returns along with effigies of the messiah.
Just refuse to send the bastards any more of OUR money.
That was my thought too. All taxpayers would become criminals, get out of line and you go to jail.
Sounds rather Ayn Rand-ish to me.
"Trust me?" from the most opaque and duplicitous administration in U.S. History?
Everybody knows...
There has never been yet a "tax on the rich" which didn't filter down to the 'middle class;' The income tax, when created, was to apply to the rich only and be limited to 1%.
How did that work out?
Anyone with control of 6th grade math can grasp that taxing only the rich can't possibly reduce either the annual deficit or current debt. Unfortunately only workers (producers) are expected to pay for tax increases.
The ever increasing welfare army (excluding social security and medicare!) which more and more have a greater useful income than the people supporting them, are never expected to pay any increases at all!
Can someone explain how that is possible?
The "rich" are nothing more than conduits to transfer collected taxes from the populace to the fed gov.
The fed gov knows this, the providers of services and goods know this, only the dumb bastards that fall for the class warfare "tax the rich "mantra are blissfully unaware of this.
The reason pols target the rich is because there is less of them.
However, the money is in the general populace, and it is continually collected, but the federal collectors - the "rich" simply pass it on to the fed gov.
Those who provide services and goods should ought to petition the fed gov for payment for their tax collecting services.
Won't work they're way ahead of you.That's why they set up mandatory with holding on paychecks.
Article I, Section 8, Clause 1:
The Congress shall have Power To lay and collect Taxes, Duties, Imposts and Excises, to pay the Debts and provide for the common Defence and general Welfare of the United States; but all Duties, Imposts and Excises shall be uniform throughout the United States;
I don't know where you work, but how do you propose that people avoid paying payroll withholding taxes?
Speak for yourself- I do not deserve that Bastard Obama and his ilk or any of the other bastards in congress they can go f themselves.
'lets stop paying taxes in mass'
Indeed if only we are UNITED in any chosen action -
if 14 millions of us engage in tax revolt, what can they do?
If 14 millions of us demand obama be removed unless he can show he is a natural born citizen....
If 14 millions of us demand the truth regarding Benghazi scandal/cover-up/lies.....
we are so law-abiding, so afraid.... except perhaps a few hundred will be brave enough to do any of these things.
Let us see how many will show up at the Massive anti-obama rally on inauguration day....
Update from
"....Wont work theyre way ahead of you.Thats why they set up mandatory with holding on paychecks...."
True, but a nationwide shutdown of the "producing class" will do the same thing. Make it a "stamp out work" program. Work is evil. Everyone just quit working and producing.
You increase your dependents to the maximum, which I think is 9. Your withholding is whittled down to nearly nothing.
Or...we could just file paper returns instead of electronic.
Great idea.

How would Santa Claus comply with OSHA Regulations.pdf
he would be tied off while that sleigh is in the air or on a roof, granted that would slow down his delivery time but it would ensure that they would be dlelivered
Typical red coated Socialist who doesn't feel he needs to comply with the very regulations that his Socialist counterparts in government impose on the rest of us. More proof that Santa is really Satan.

text: California's statewide pricing pilot (SPP) was designed to test the impact of several time-varying rate structures on the electricity usage patterns of residential and small commercial and industrial customers. Pricing treatments went into effect in June 2003. Impact estimates for the 2003 and 2004 summer periods for all treatments and customer segments were presented in a report entitled Impact Evaluation of the California Statewide Pricing Pilot, dated March 16, 2005. This report provides an update on the California's SPP since the last report. This report is organized as follows. Section 2 summarizes the evolution of the sample and treatments over the two summers. Specifically, it examines the extent and nature of turnover in the sample, shows the number of customers that accepted the enabling technology offer, shows how prices changed across the two summers, and summarizes the length and timing of CPP events. Section 3 contains the results of our analysis on the issues of persistence across the two summers, persistence across multiple CPP days, the difference in impacts across customers with and without enabling technology and the difference in impacts across critical events of varying length.

Hi! I'm an old fan of Sir Paul McCartney from Russia. I've been his admirer for about 30 years (since that time when it was a little "illegal" in our country). The information about my idol has become more available now but there are still some guestions that I can't make clear. I would be grateful if you help me.
I've heard that as a result of some incident nearly all drafts of early "Beatles"'s songs were lost. How did it happen?
What was the first project that Paul was engaged in separately from "Beatles"?
I do wonder and need your help! Thanks beforehand!

Here's Why You Can Now Text and Talk on a Plane (Update 1)
NEW YORK (TheStreet) -- Gogo
Users can download an app from Apple's
The instructions are simple enough to follow. Here are some screen shots to show what users can expect from the app:
"Gogo Text & Talk is just one more way Gogo is keeping airline passengers connected to their lives on the ground," said Ash ElDifrawi, Gogo's chief marketing officer, in a press release. "While we see this as more of a text messaging product for commercial airlines in the United States, the phone functionality is something that some international air carriers and our business aviation customers are asking for."
Earlier this morning, Gogo invited me to try out the service. It works as advertised, with a few small drawbacks. In my experience, I texted a few people, but the return text messages showed up in iMessage, not in the app itself. The sound quality and functionality is the same as your regular iOS or Android device, but you can not talk and text at the same time, as you can on certain smartphones.
In an interview on the flight, Gogo Vice President of Product Brad Jaehn said the app was not yet available for Microsoft's
The new Text & Talk service is part of the reason Evercore analyst Jonathan Schildkraut raised his price target to $20 from $15, keeping an "overweight" rating.
Gogo is slated to report quarterly earnings on Nov. 11. Analysts surveyed by Thomson Reuters expect the company to lose 31 cents a share on $76.8 million in revenue.

>Runner's World - My Event Ratings>
In short: One of the best In full: My 3rd time at the Compton 40, I like the new 2-lap course - it's really easy to "break down" into 5-mile sections.Not much else to add that hasn't already been said - for £15 it's amazing value, great Checkpoints, loads of food a tech-T and meal at the finish.Date of review: April 22, 2014
In short: Friendly race, but needs a few tweaks now it's grownIn full: My second time at this race, (2012/2013) and was just using it as a long, social run - with a chance to enjoy the drinks on the second half.As such - I didn't mind the bottlenecks, or missing the start but can imagine that this would annoy a lot of people, especially those gunning for a time.As others have said - it's December, in England, on the South Coast... Expect the weather to be bad! I got diverted at the end and ended up running around the streets of Portsmouth - apparently we got lost and did a bit extra but I must admit I didn't notice.The bag drop needs improving - maybe put the baggage label in the runners pack, (and make it the same number as the race number - giving out little raffle tickets with a random number on is a recipe for disaster, where are we supposed to put it - and keep it dry?)Oh - and yes, more loos please... The portaloos at halfway were unusable and caused many people to have to divert into the bushes on the return leg!Other than that - I thought the marshals were fab, the aid stations well stocked and friendly and an excellent goodie bag. Worth the trip down, thanks PortsmouthDate of review: December 24, 2013
In short: Well done ChesterIn full: I can only echo what has already been said.Silky smooth, over the start line in 8 seconds from the sub 3:15 pen. A bit muddy on the racecourse for the first 800m or-so, through Chester town centre and then out onto a rural loop coming back to the racecourse. More undulating then I thought it was going to be, not maybe not the all-time fastest course out there, but definitely PB potential.Great organisation, closed roads, loads of well stocked aid stations and decent support and a nice goodie bag and long-sleeved technical T make this one of the best UK road marathons I've done.Well done Chester, you have a gem of a marathon..l don't go changing :-)Date of review: October 8, 2012
In short: Just do it...! Adidas-styleIn full: I ran solo - words cannot describe the experience... something every runner should try - either solo or part of a relay team.Everything was amazing - the course, organisation, marshals, fellow runners. Can't wait until next year Date of review: August 1, 2011
In short: Brilliant trail half marathonIn full: Forget chasing PB's - this one is all about stamina and enjoying the journey through the Wyre forest.The first 2 miles are downhill, then it's 11.1 miles of uphill with the occasional bit of downhill thrown in. Surface is hard-packed trail and rough bridle-way which could be muddy in wet weather, though not this year.Less than a tenner for a quality half - decent medal, flapjaack and water at the finish... What more do you need?Date of review: July 11, 2011
In short: A great way to spend a Sunday morningIn full: I did this in 2010 and had no hesitation in coming back for this year!Excellent atmposphere and well marshalled on a course that's just challenging enough - 2 decent hills to tackle with fast downhill sections to look forward to.I'll definitely be back next year!Date of review: May 9, 2011
In short: Respectable rolling rural road raceIn full: Well organised road race on mainly country lanes which I think were closed - if not were very quiet as I can't remember any traffic passing!The marshals were friendly and supporting at key locations, great crowd support at the end an a surprisingly decent goody bag for finishers.Really enjoyable morning and a credit to Lichfield. My only negative comment would be that there was no directions back to the car park at the start, (about a mile from the finish)Date of review: May 1, 2011
In short: Two laps along the coastal path in the sunIn full: On the same course as the Llanelli half marathon the Great Welsh Marathon is another excellent fairly low-key event from Human Being Active.The course is a 2-loop out-and-back from the start so very easy to break up into 4 manageable chunks of around 10k a piece. Water stations are frequent - but a couple are too close together for my liking with under 2 miles separating them.Great scenery, fairly twisty course with some mild undulations which keeps it interesting but not too painful. Great and very funny personalised commentary at halfway and the finish made me laugh... Friendly support from the marshals and spectators was also great!As one of the winners said, "why bother with London? Come and do this one instead"!Date of review: April 10, 2011
In short: Excellent, well organised and fun trail raceIn full: Really enjoyed this one - it made a change from running around a city centre or rural country lanes. Excellent organisation and parking, (for me) 25 yards from the finish line! Chip pickup was quick and efficient, water stations every 3 miles and well marshalled. Crowd support at various points throughout the course was good and excellent at the finish.Course is undulating with some fairly short, steep sections but otherwise a really good mix of up and down. I thought it might be a bit congested but it seemed OK for me finishing in the 1:40 crowd.Definitely one to do again next year for a change from the usual road stuff...Date of review: March 27, 2011
In short: Friendly 20-miler which has it allIn full: I can only echo the praise of others...!Well organised with friendly and supportive marshals, lots of drinks stations including sports drink and gels and an excellent T-Shirt makes this a brilliant race.I know the Taff Trail but wasn't expecting the diversion up that hill at Mile 8 - who thought that was a good idea then?

Running In Place - Page 5
Lisa Jhung, a long-time, accomplished adventure racer and trail runner from Boulder, Colorado, has raced alongside Engle many times and even teamed up with him once or twice. "Charlie is always keeping you entertained with a funny story. And while he takes racing seriously, he knows how to appreciate every moment—even the awful suffering that often comes with adventure racing," says Jhung. "He's a kind, supportive teammate, not the type to yell at you to hurry up, but the kind that asks if you need help. Plus, he's strong as a horse, and knows how to handle pain. With Charlie, it's never `poor me,' but more like, `This sucks but it's awesome at the same time.'"
Engle traces his path to the Sahara clear back to 1997 at the Presidio Adventure Racing School, where he had met Mike Lucero, his instructor. "Everything in life is connected," he says, citing an ensuing string of events. Just before Lucero was to compete in the 1998 Raid Gauloises-Ecuador, he was killed in a car accident on his way to an adventure race in Colorado. Lucero's teammates invited Engle to join their team in his place, and he finished the race. In 1999 he began working as an instructor at Presidio.
"Life doesn't happen in a vacuum. I am truly convinced that from the death of Mike Lucero sprang my life of adventure," says Engle. "In every event, I still give thanks to Mike."
A Presidio student, Josh Gelman, happened to work for CBS on the show 48 Hours, which was later to produce a film on the Eco-Challenge/Borneo. In 2000 Engle and his teammates applied for a spot in the race. On his application, Engle says he listed his professions as "documentary filmmaker, semi-pro badminton player and amateur comedian." At the time, Gelman was looking for a cameraman. He gave Engle a shot.
"I wasn't afraid to put the camera in people's faces," says Engle. "48 Hours ended up using 10 minutes of the footage, which is unheard of." He was invited to a showing of the film in New York City, where he met its other producer, Tom Forman. Two years later Forman created Extreme Makeover: Home Edition. Engle received a call from Forman, asking him to work as a cameraman and producer, even though at the same time Forman told Engle he was "completely unqualified for the job." Such was Engle's segue from his automobile "dentless paint repair" business into the incongruent world of television production.
Engle had chased hailstorms around the world for 15 years and, in 1990, started his own company Universal Hail Repair, which at one time had 100 employees. While he made less money in the television business, says Engle, "It was getting me closer to combining my passions: running, speaking, recovery and writing. When the show first started shooting, of course, we had no idea that it would be a hit. But I knew for sure that we were helping some families that really needed it and deserved a break."
Then at the 2004 Jungle Marathon, he befriended the Taiwanese racer Kevin Lin and the Canadian racer Ray Zahab. A month later, Zahab called Engle with the crazy idea of running across the Sahara Desert, and Engle bit. The two recruited Lin, and the three decided to run the 2006 Jungle Marathon as a team to test their compatibility. They clicked, and they also won.
A television connection, Tim Beggy, who was also an adventure racer, saw potential in the RTS project, for which Engle was seeking sponsorship support. He introduced Engle to James Moll, who agreed to take on the film project. Ten days later, Moll called and rhetorically asked if it would be all right if Matt Damon's company LivePlanet produced the film.
Life was good, says Engle, until he woke up at 3 one morning in a cold sweat, six months before they were to begin RTS. "Oh, my God, I have to run across the Sahara Desert," he thought. The heat was on, and, aside from the camera crew, he recruited a small support team that included a doctor, a logistics coordinator, a massage therapist and a local guide. And trained, hard.

IoT is at the core or many Digital Transformation initiatives with the goal of re-inventing a company's business model.

However, with the rapid development of IoT devices and ongoing business model transformation, we are not able to predict the volume and growth of IoT data. And with the lack of IoT history, traditional methods of IT and infrastructure planning based on the past do not app...
