Late last month, readers of the conservative web site NewsMax discovered this juicy tidbit in a column by Ronald Kessler: "In the past week, Karl Rove has been promising Republican insiders an 'October surprise' to help win the November congressional elections."
Christ on his throne! Granted, the revelation was a bit vague: it wasn't clear who these Republican insiders were, or whether Rove actually used the loaded phrase in question. No matter. For liberals dreaming of big Democratic gains in November's midterm elections, the prospect of late-breaking machinations by Bush's Brain was terrifying — and, at the same time, utterly predictable. After all, just four days before the 2004 presidential election, a fresh video from Osama bin Laden reminded voters of George W. Bush's claim to be tougher on terrorism than John Kerry. And earlier in the '04 campaign, a ballyhooed increase in the Department of Homeland Security's (DHS) terror-threat level helped keep Kerry's post–Democratic National Convention bounce to a minimum. (Two years on, the words spoken at the time by then-DHS secretary Tom Ridge remain jaw-droppingly inappropriate: "We must understand that the kind of information available to us today is the result of the president's leadership in the war against terror.")
In short, Democrats were already worried about fourth-quarter heroics from Rove, and recent developments have lent credence to their fears. In the past few weeks, the price of gas has dropped from around $3 a gallon to just over $2, cheering drivers everywhere and depriving Democrats of a key campaign issue. And what about those reports last month — quickly dismissed by Condi et al. — that Bin Laden had died after contracting a nasty water-borne bug? Is the Bush administration postponing confirmation of Bin Laden's death until just before Election Day?
Insert jokes about tinfoil hats and grassy knolls here. But while you're at it, remember that it's not just Democrats who are prone to thinking this way. (Back in 2000, Wall Street Journal columnist James Taranto asked readers to predict which dirty trick then-president Bill Clinton would use to guarantee Al Gore's election. Their top choice: war with Iraq.) The common denominator is obvious: when a disenfranchised political party smells a return to power, collective anxiety about dirty tricks goes through the roof.
The difference, of course, is that Republicans do dirty tricks better.
Trick or treatise?
So what's Rove up to? Sadly, Turd Blossom isn't talking; asked by NewsMax to elaborate on his promise, he demurred. But we can still make some informed guesses.
Tops on the list: Osama bin Laden gets nabbed sometime between now and November 7. The Bush administration's failure to nab Al Qaeda's number one "has been, far and away, their biggest failing," argues Elaine Kamarck, Al Gore's senior policy advisor in 2000 and a professor at Harvard's Kennedy School of Government. "It undercuts their contention that they're waging a great war on terrorism, which they're not. And I wouldn't be at all surprised if that was front and center in the discussions the other day between the presidents of Pakistan and Afghanistan." (Last week, Pervez Musharraf and Hamid Karzai overcame their mutual dislike and hunkered down with Bush at the White House.)

Ok, I have hemmed and hawed back and forth if I was going to post my mock drafts this year. Ok I am basing most of my picks not only on need, but of value(hopefully). I have seen some of these guys play moreso than others. I have also taken into account other posters info, videos and input etc. when it comes to the pros and cons of draft prospects. And I cant forget to give some credit to the articles from different sports analysts/writers/prognosticators. I have tried to roll all of that into my first post-bowl, pre-combine, pre-free agency amateur mock.
I may have some guys ranked too low or too high, so please feel free to throw the constructive criticism my way. I do appreciate the input. I probably will submit another in a couple days, since I was back and forth on rankings and/or players and positions.

[quote user="gmen0820"]Nothing. I've accepted a loooong time ago that the best award to get is not a Pro Bowl invitation but First Team AP.
JPP was first team AP last year, that made me excited. JPP was a Pro Bowler last year...cool? That's basically what I'm saying.[/quote]
Exactly. First and Second team AP All-Pro is all that really matters to me. People rarely get those honors on reputation or popularity. Only thing is that I think a lot of the players have incentives for making the Pro-Bowl. . .perhaps I'm mistaken.
In answer to the question, maybe have all the guys play as "himself" in a game of Madden. . .in Hawaii. Or maybe sharks with laser beams. lol

Help Senator Feinstein save Sesame Street!
Original post made by Parent of two PBS Kids Fans, Palo Verde, on Aug 4, 2006
But since the House and Senate passed different budgets, they'll have to compromise in the fall. We can strengthen Senator Feinstein's resolve by sending her thank-you notes from kids who love "Sesame Street" and other PBS shows.
You can print this NPR and PBS thank-you note, have a kid in your life draw a picture on it, then mail it to Senator Feinstein. Click here for the thank-you note: Web Link
Here's where to send it:
Senator Dianne Feinstein
2500 Tulare Street, Suite 4-290
Fresno, CA 93721
Senator Feinstein is about to head home for the August recess. This is a perfect moment to give her courage to fight for NPR and PBS with a fun thank-you note. Senators really respond to encouragement from constituents.

It might help if some of the millions of dollars Sesame Street took in were used for producion costs.

One might think that the "it's for the children" trope would get old after a while, but that doesn't seem to be the case. There are some great shows on public television, to be sure. Whether or not the government should be funding them is, of course, a different question (if so many people support them, mightn't there be a chance to get private sponsorship?). Furthermore, the "argument" of "save Sesame Street" completely avoids the question that NPR has become so biased that one can only laugh at the new and interesting ways in which they package that bias.
Why should we spend taxpayers' (i.e., yours and mine) money on something so politically one-sided? I have no problems with people spending their money to support their political views. I do have a problem with people expecting me to spend my money to do so.
I think we'd all be a lot better off and more informed if we really had a discussion about government-funded television instead of simply chiming in with "save Grover!"

Add to that the fact that Congress cannot "start" with 'children's programming like "Sesame Street".' At most it can reduce funding for PBS. After that, it is PBS' choice which program or function to eliminate. Same behavior as when any municipal tax cut is proposed, the public is immediately threatened with reductions in police or fire brigade. It is never threatened with reduction of few clerks at the city hall... otherwise the public may actually like it!
a resident of Ventura
on Aug 12, 2006 at 7:05 pm
It's always a scam when somebody tells you do something for the "sake of the children." Sesame Street and other kids programs are all associated with for-profit businesses that will continue to bring their programs to the public whether PBS (and CPB) lives or dies.
Like Ted, I also object to having my tax dollars used to broadcast any political messages -- messages I agree with or those I disagree with. That shouldn't be a function of government.
But Feinstein will vote to keep PBS the way it is. Don't worry about that. Her purpose is to make liberals feel good by voting for their pet projects and then, when nobody is looking, quietly push through legislation that will benefit her billionaire husband's many businesses.

Bias, like so many things, is relative. For instance, to a Republican who wishes every network was like Fox News, NPR might seem biased. Then again, so would anything, including the New York Times and Washington Post, who have received plenty of Republican hatred for their supposed bias. I'm sure if the Republicans in Congress had a chance to get rid of the Times, they would take that, too. I don't find the Times biased, and I don't see the bias in NPR either. But then I'm sure the Republicans in question would be quick to call me "biased" as well, and I won't try to argue with them about that.
What I will say is that in this day and age, I think that both NPR and PBS's news programs are a breath of fresh air, not because of their political content but because of the way they present the discussion of political issues.
Compare the "talking heads" debates on PBS's "The News Hour" with any of the countless equivalents on MSNBC, CNN, or Fox News. Even when "The News Hour" puts conservatives against liberals on issues that divide across party lines, the guests speak respectfully to each other, with eloquence and poise, and they never raise their voices or become hostile.
I don't even need to tell how different it is when you get into network cable, where every "debate" show is basically political pro wreslting. These shows have become so predictably hostile that Comedy Central even parodied them on their show "Cross Balls." These shows teach people that the best way to talk to someone with a different opinion than you is to call them names, and we should all demand better.
If it takes my tax dollars to keep shows like "The News Hour" around, I'll be the first in line. I don't know how our country will survive if they leave and all we have left is Bill O'Reilly and his countless imitators.

Any news about the tickets for Budapest Euros? I can't even find an official website... Last year for Zagreb at this point of the summer I had already ordered my tickets!
Any news about the tickets for Budapest Euros? I can't even find an official website... Last year for Zagreb at this point of the summer I had already ordered my tickets!
Unfortunately I have no more information on this topic than you do... There is no official website yet. And there is no information on the tickets or the event all together on the federation's website either. The latest news are about the venue being Syma Event and Congress Centre.
The federation actually had problems with finding a venue for the championships. They couldn't reach an agreement with Papp László Budapest Sports Arena. In May they still didn't know where they would organize it. It was confirmed in June that this problem had been solved. I guess this can be the reason (at least in part) for everything happening later than in other years.
Thank you for the info! (I'm talking to all the GS members) As soon as you have any news, please let me know!
Announcement, Entry Forms and First Information are now available on the ISU's website: http://www2.isu.org/vsite/vnavsite/p...0.html?id=1379
I read in the First Information document that tickets would be sold from October, as Plushyfan already wrote in the thread started in The Edge. They will be sold through Ticketpro.
I'm really frustrated by now! I can't believe that the website is still not ready (www.efsc2014.com)! What really pissed me up is that the website is actually advertised at Nebelhorn Trophy on the boards but it's still not working! I think it's ridiculous! And I feel ashamed about it myself!
I expected that the tickets would be sold from the beginnign of October but it seems we will be lucky if they start selling them by the end of the month.
hello Guys
They mailed me the prices in euros(exchange rate of 30th Sept),
1)day tickets are 22,38,55 for standard, premium and gold seats (15-18Jan),
2)day ticket for 19Jan is 12,22 or 32, (pairs only I guess, no gala)
3)all event without Gala is 79(standard), 138(premium) or 200(gold) and the official training costs 10 euros per day(!)(they price 13, 14 Jan) ,
4)Gala costs from 55-67 and for Gold seats there is no option for Gala, I mailed them if Gold all event includes the gala or something, and the training, no answer yet.
Tickets will start selling middle October, I dont have a plan of the arena to see where the seats correspond to..
Is the Ice Hall so "modern" that they have so many categories? Its a bit like at the Olympics with all the different categories :D I am surprised that practice does cost extra, after all there will also be practice at the main rink, so that paying extra sounds a bit weird. Maybe this is for those without a ticket?
To not have the Gala included also sounds weird, I don't think I ever went to a figure skating event where All Event didn't feature "All" - but maybe its a bit different at Hungary ^^
Let us know if you hear more please
Muchas Gracias!
Thank you very much for the information, Seniorita!
As for the venue, it's not an ice hall at all. Altough there are some permanent seats inside, I expect that they will also build mobile grandstands.
Syma is pretty much multifunctional, all kinds of exhibitions, sporting and other events are organised there. I don't think an ice skating event would have been organised there before, but I'm not quite sure about it.
I am also waiting for the tickets to go on sale, since I won't go to the TEB and wanna go to some other competition this year to see Brian agian
Let's wait some more days...
Ey!! I've just gotten into the webpage and it doesn't let me to enter... It asks for an user and password and I don't have it yet!! ANY HELP?
What you see there is a basic Word Press log in, which most likely means that they have just started building the website and it could take a few more days, maybe even weeks until they are done.
I have a small update for you.
The ticket price for an All Event is 200, 138, 79 Euro - depending on the category. As Seniorita said, the Gala is not included as there will be a different seating plan without a gold category. The Gala will cost 67, 50 Euro - again depending on the category of your choice.
Practice sessions on the "non competition days" do cost 10 Euro each, while those on competition days are included.
I will let you know when they start with the presale.

1% Travel Guide: Houston
The world's most luxurious travel bible heads to the erotic suites of Texas' sexiest new urban resort.
Welcome to the 1% Travel Guide, your bible of the most tricked-out, exclusive destinations that money can buy.
It's late August, and the hot sun off the coast of Maine has been tapering away as if a thermostat has been adjusted after too many gorgeous days. You know the time for summer pleasures has come to a close with the return of the yellow school buses that have emerged from the depths of their maintenance garages.
ZaZa Houston Lobby
As you get further annoyed by the squalling of back-to-school shoppers and those shopkeepers advertising fall — if not winter — wear, you realize that it really is time to hitch a ride out of town and make for the oil-fueled festivities that only occur in Syrup City. Your millions — made from harvesting the world's only colony of golden lobsters — have deepened your pockets over the last decade, but sadly the love of your life turned out to be allergic to shellfish. It just so happens that those folks on the Gulf Coast are happy to deal in riches and gumbo, which makes it the perfect place to relax, unwind and maybe ride a thing or two.
The Monarch Terrace
Upon arrival in the glaring heat of Texas, you ask the driver to drive you to the Hotel ZaZa Houston, a so-called urban resort that your assistant has booked you into. While you had originally planned to head for the coast in Galveston, she assured you that after months of dealing with fishermen, the last place you would want to venture would be near a bunch of guys that remind you of your hygiene-optional crew. You pull up to the ZaZa and notice that the exterior architecture seems fairly standard for a small Hilton or, more worrisome, a Comfort Inn.
Black Label Suite
Treading lightly, you step inside, where immediately you're blown away by the eccentric accents of zebra stripe, Jurassic-sized ferns and multi-tiered crystal chandeliers. The cute redhead behind the front desk beckons you over with a big smile and a Southern welcome. The agenda is simple, she explains; your assistant mentioned you needed a change of scenery and their facility is more than equipped to provide the thrill you're seeking. While they won't release any wild animals into your quarters unless specifically asked, she hints that their female guests might just fit the bill. Slightly confused, you're about to ask what she means by "agenda" when she exclaims, "First night — the Fatal Charms Suite!" (Top image.) This is going to be one interesting week.
Dragonfly Restaurant (Dallas)
Inside the dark luxury suite, bronze velvet drapes and candelabras fill the room — though they remind you of a tantric Dracula's lair, there's something pretty erotic about a velvet headboard overshadowing black and gold silk covers. You're going to have to make it to the poolside cocktail hour if you hope to get some use out of that massive bed. Then again, you'll spend each night of your stay in one of the ZaZa's sexy themed suites, from just under a thousand per night to almost $2K in others; you'll find a taste for every girl you feel like reeling in this week.
Tycoon Suite
Throughout the week, you explore Houston's top-notch nightlife, the weekend pool parties at the resort's Urban Oasis and the extensive menu at the Monarch culinary terrace. As your count of Texan beauties grows, so does your taste for the adventurous lifestyle that your ever-changing bedside ambience provides. The 2000 square-foot Tycoon Suite offers up a frisky leather bed anchored with a gigantic iron chandelier. The upscale It Happened One Night Suite pushes the lifestyle boundaries with wood floors, Persian rugs and international opulence, while the swanky Rock Star hangout's mirrored walls, fireplace and classic prints will have you performing your own encore with the leggy blonde you met in the elevator. Good thing you'll have switched to the glamorized Texan Outlaw Suite before her boyfriend finds the rug burn.
Rock Star Suite
At the conclusion of your stay you feel like you've travelled to the edge of the world and back in a handful of days. Although it's back to the crustaceans for the moment, you've been advised that the chain has a second location in Dallas — with a set of Magnificent Seven Suites for you to test drive. Until then, this was just another entry from the 1% Percent Travel Guide.

Energy Performance Certificates are compulsory
From 01/10/2008, it is required by law that all new tenants or purchasers of property must be provided with an Energy Performance Certificate (EPC) by the landlord or seller. From 6 April 2008, all homes built and physically completed on or after this date, will need to have an Energy Performance Certificate (EPC) provided on completion of construction. The EPC gives the new tenant/purchaser an indication of the energy efficiency and environmental impact of the building/dwelling and helps them to estimate their energy consumption costs in the future.
For homes, two ratings are shown.
The energy-efficiency rating is a measure of a home's overall efficiency. The higher the rating, the more energy-efficient the home is, and the lower the fuel bills are likely to be.
The environmental impact rating is a measure of a home's impact on the environment in terms of carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions - the higher the rating, the less impact it has on the environment.
Each rating is based on the performance of the building itself and its services (such as heating and lighting), rather than the domestic appliances within it. This is known as an asset rating. The certificate also lists the potential rating of the building if all the cost-effective measures were installed.
The ratings will vary according to the age, location, size and condition of the building. The potential rating on the certificate will take these factors into account, and the suggested measures will be tailored so that they are realistic for the particular building.
The certificate also includes a recommendation report, providing information about ways to improve the energy performance of the property. Recommendations include cost effective improvements and further improvements (that achieve higher standards but are not necessarily cost effective). For each improvement the level of cost, typical cost savings per year and the performance rating after improvement are listed. The potential rating shown on the certificate is based on all the cost effective recommendations being implemented.
The EPC also contains other useful information which includes:
Estimated energy use
This is based on standardised assumptions about occupancy and heating patterns. An estimate of the current and potential energy use, carbon emissions and fuel costs for lighting, heating and hot water is provided. The actual energy use depends on the behaviour of the occupants.
Energy advice
The certificate provides basic advice about energy efficient behaviour.
Example of an Energy Performance Certificate (PDF)
The EPC assessor documents the energy efficiency characteristics of the property and calculates an estimate of the expected energy consumption level.
This assessment takes into account the quality of the building skin including the windows; roofs and ceilings; the ventilation system (if available); the heating and hot water system and the type of fuel used. The EPC also contains recommendations on measures to improve the energy efficiency of the property.
Criticism of EPCs
The preparation method for some EPCs has been criticised because accurate data is not always available or applied. For example, some EPCs are based upon historical data or comparison data which does not always reflect the exact condition of the property being assessed. Also, if access to the property is not possible, the assessor may complete the report based solely upon assumptions about the condition of the property.
Further criticisms include the lifespan of the EPC and the energy usage assumptions. An EPC is valid for a maximum of 10 years. This means that the data presented in the assessment report may be up to 10 years old. This data may no longer reflect the true condition of the property and/or the requirements of new minimum standards which have come into effect since the production of the original report. Also, the energy usage assumptions are based upon standard usage patterns and occupancy rates which may not reflect the actual energy usage of the current occupant(s). This can lead to large discrepancies. Furthermore it does not reflect any increases in fuel costs within the validity period of the certificate.
The EPC only provides a general assessment and does not include a detailed diagnosis of the building or the construction components installed. If you are planning to renovate or modernise the property, it is recommended that you have a detailed survey carried out in order to maximise the value of your investment. This may in some cases also be required if you are planning to apply for certain grants or subsidies.
Is an EPC always necessary?
The provision of an EPC only applies to new lettings or sales of properties on or after 01/10/2008 or sales of newly built properties on or after 01/06/2008. It does not apply to properties which were already let or sold before these dates and for which a current letting contract exists. If at the end of this contract the property/dwelling is re-let, an EPC must be provided to the new tenant.
What are the penalties for not providing a residential EPC?
The Regulations are enforced by Trading Standards Officers (or Building Control Officers for new build properties) and failure to provide an EPC where the Regulations apply may result in a penalty charge notice of £200. This charge may be applied repeatedly until an EPC is provided.
What are the penalties for not providing a commercial EPC?
The landlord is liable for failing to provide a commercial EPC and could be fined for non-compliance, the fine for which can be up to £5,000. However, this is not clearly defined and the fine may be issued on multiple occasions if the EPC remains outstanding.

It's usually when a job is completed or during a random maintenance inspection that someone notices that flails have worn excessively on one side. Normally flails should wear evenly around the perimeter. There are two possible causes for excessive wear to one side.
1. The flails were loaded too tightly on the drum shafts. Spinning allows the wear to be distributed evenly about the flail's perimeter. If the flails are tight and cannot spin properly, wear will occur predominantly on one side.
Even if manufacturer's guidelines are followed and the correct number of flails and spacer washers were loaded, variances in manufacturing tolerances and material thickness may require slight adjustments in the field.
Bottom line: Adjust the number of flails and spacer washers so they spin freely.
2. While on the jobsite, the operator raised the forward wheels off the surface. This causes the machine weight to be incorrectly supported by the rotating drum. The flails will not spin properly, creating excessive wear on one side.
Despite some beliefs, raising the machine off its front wheels does not increase—and actually decreases—the material removal rate. This is because the resulting increase in recoil forces makes the surface planer unstable. The more a machine hops or jumps, the less kinetic energy it can effectively transfer to the surface.
Bottom line: Keep the wheels in contact with the surface.

Captain Phillips freed, 3 pirates killed
posted at 1:45 pm on April 12, 2009 by Ed Morrissey
Here's a happy ending on Easter Sunday for Hot Air readers. Captain Richard Phillips is now free from the pirates holding him hostage, and three of the four captors are now free of oxygen use as a result:
U.S. intelligence official tells the Associated Press Sunday that an American sea captain held hostage by Somali pirates has been freed and was safe aboard a Navy ship. Three of the pirates were killed and one was in custody, according to the official.
U.S. warships and helicopters had been stalking the lifeboat holding Capt. Richard Phillips and his four Somali captors as a Somali official and others reported earlier that negotiations for his release had broken down. …
"The negotiations between the elders and American officials have broken down. The reason is American officials wanted to arrest the pirates in Puntland and elders refused the arrest of the pirates," said the commissioner, Abdi Aziz Aw Yusuf. He said he organized initial contacts between the elders and the Americans.
Two other Somalis, one involved in the negotiations and another in contact with the pirates, also said the talks collapsed because of the U.S. insistence that the pirates be arrested and brought to justice.
Looks like we brought three of them to justice. The fourth will get more protection than he deserves, but at least we've freed the captain and delivered something of a message. We're not going to let pirates run free, and if "elders" think we will, they found out differently today.
From now on, though, the "negotiations" should be us telling the pirates and their envoys that if they surrender, we'll let them live. If not, no quarter. That should be our first and last offer. If we keep dancing around with Somali "elders" and treat pirates like bank robbers, we're going to be doing a lot more of these negotiations in the future.
Update: Second time's the charm. Phillips jumped overboard again, and this time, the Navy was ready to take out the pirates. Great work, Navy!
Update II: Looks like the initial reports were incorrect. After being authorized to use force by President Obama, Navy SEALs took their shots when it appeared the pirates were about to shoot Phillips. Kudos to the SEALs, and kudos to Obama for making the right call. If this had gone badly, he would have taken the blame, so it's fair to credit him with taking the steps necessary to finally bring this to a happy conclusion.

The night sky has always been fascinating to me, but being that I'm a geek who gets overly excited about many many things, astronomy was always pushed back as something I'd tackle more seriously later on. When I learned that I was pregnant three years ago, I was immediately excited at the prospect of teaching my child about the natural world. Now two years old, my toddler has already taken a surprisingly dedicated interest in the sky. I started feeling self-conscious that I didn't have enough sky knowledge to feed her curiosity, but instead of worrying I decided that this could be our thing. In this subject we could change the dynamics of our relationship, taking off my parent-educator hat and becoming her astronomy study buddy. We could attend sky parties, join an astronomical unit, and learn about the sky together!

Where I stayed
Coral Reef Hostel
Woke up early and hungover. Got the bus at 8. Monteverde's roads are all dirt tracks with massive potholes to stop big tourism development in the area. Very long, bumpy, squashed and hungover drive to Tamarindo. The driver kept stopping to see wildlife, but there never was any. We got stuck when a lorry in front burst a tyre.
Got to Tamarindo at lunch time, tried to ring Steph on Skype but all internet and phone lines were down. Found some friends from the school and sorted out some bus tickets to the independence day (tomorrow). Finally managed to Skype Steph (with a webcam!) for 2 hours. I checked back into the Coral Reef Hostel. It felt great being back in Tamarindo.
My dorm was full of stoned Israelis listening to Hebrew rap
Friday 25th July
Met at the school and caught an 8am bus to Liberia, arranged by the school. At 10am there was a small carnival with floats and lots of children dressed up in traditional clothes, then not much else happened for another 6 hours. We walked around for a bit and at lunch time headed to where the festival was taking place. Got quite drunk at 3 playing Kings. I got some nice noodles from a stand but found loads of hair in it.
We went to a Rodeo show, some others had been to a proper local one in Brasolito but this was a much bigger event. It was good but seemed a bit touristy, the riders were wearing helmets. Also, in Brasolito there were drunk Ticos running across the field and having a go - more injuries and probably more fun.
We headed back to Tamarindo and I met some nice American and Dutch people staying at the hostel. Then the Israelis got back and got stoned again.
Saturday 26th July
Got up, went to the Italian cafe for breakfast and then went surfing with Andy and Rafael, Swiss and German guys from the school
Today is Kristens last day and my second to last day so we went to Babylon to celebrate. Me and Chris had too much tequila, but it was a fun night.
Sunday 27th July
My last day in Tamarindo. I went surfing with Chris and Alice in the morning. The weather was really good but the waves were a bit small as usual. We went for lunch at Noguis and then went to the internet. We went to the rooftop terrace bar (sunset bar) for a drink and then I had to say goodbye to everyone. I was sad to be leaving Tamarindo and it seemed a long time until I would be settled again. Went to Caracola with Chris for some food and drinks. Had too many rum and cokes.

Missoula city council bans cell phone use while driving
MISSOULA, Mont. - Monday night the Missoula City Council voted to pass a new city ordinance making it illegal to operate a motor vehicle while using a cell phone or any other electronic communication device.
Missoula Police say there will be a 90-day grace period during which people will be educated about the new ordinance and signage will be put up letting people know it's no longer OK to talk on your phone and drive in Missoula.
According to the new ordinance anything defined as a vehicle by Montana motor vehicle laws will qualify under this new ordinance. This means it will be illegal to talk on a cell phone while riding a bicycle.
Breaking the new cell phone ban will cost drivers a pretty penny. The fine for your first offense will cost you between $100 and $300. A second offense will cost you anywhere from $150 to $500.
If you are in a car accident and the investigation determines a cell phone was being used by the driver of the vehicle you will be charged an extra fine of anywhere between $350 and $500.
In all three cases fees will not be suspended or waived.
Fifty percent of the fine monies collected for violation of this ordinance will go back to the city general fund. This pays for traffic regulation signage and construction and education efforts relating to distracted driving, including texting and talking on the phone while driving.

Futures Edge Up; Boeing, Yum Rise After Earnings
Stocks look set to continue their run today, with futures for the Dow Jones Industrial Average and Standard & Poor's 500 index up 0.2% and 0.1%, respectively, ahead of Wednesday's open.
Rising this morning are shares of Yum Brands (YUM), up about 4.5% after the KFC parent's first-quarter earnings beat expectations despite terrible performance in China. My colleague Ben Levisohn explained where the gains came from:
How did the company beat expectations? Results outside of China have held up. Profit margins rose 1.4% and 2.4$ in Yum's international and U.S. divisions, respectively, against China's 7% decline. Operating profit grew by 19% in the international division and 5% in the U.S. Its tax rate also globally, boosting EPS growth by 2 percentage points.
Also seeing gains is Boeing (BA) stock, up more than 3.5% after its first quarter also beat consensus estimates -- in Boeing's case that came despite the hullaballoo surrounding its 787 Dreamliners planes, which were grounded worldwide for most of the quarter and being tested by regulators:
The Chicago-based airplane manufacturer earned $1.11 billion, or $1.44 per share in the first three months of the year, compared with $923 million, or $1.22 per share, in the same quarter a year ago.
Revenue slipped to $18.9 billion from $19.38 billion a year earlier. Boeing said it was able to overcome the sales shortfall through efficiency improvements and cost reductions.
There was also good news from the defense industry, with General Dynamics (GD) and Northrop Grumman (NOC) also beating profit estimates despite the challenges posed by the budget sequester's cuts to U.S. defense spending. As Dow Jones Newswires' Kevin Kingsbury writes:
Surprise 1Q EPS increases at Northrop and General Dynamics shows how the major US defense contractors are for now still able to deal with the specter of federal-budget cuts. Both are buying back stock, which is helping bolster EPS--especially in NOC's case--as revenue at bosh companies has been falling slightly. In that light, both have been focused on cost containment. And backlogs are muted, with NOC's falling $1.4B last quarter despite $4.7B of new awards as customers respond to the federal "budget environment."
Lockheed Martin (LMT) yesterday reported better-than-expected earnings, though both Lockheed and General Dynamics did both report falling sales.

Dopamite belongs to a new class of weight management aids known as dopaminergics. Frequent cravings, low energy and a sluggish metabolism may all be associated with low levels of dopamine. Dopamine is a potent neurotransmitter and the driving force of your brain's reward, pleasure and motivation system, also know as "the fat burning control center."*
Dopamite helps catalyze fat burning by supporting maximum healthy levels of dopamine and dopamine-dependent (dopaminergic) serotonin, epinephrine (adrenaline) and norepinephrine. All 4 play powerful roles in regulating energy, motivation, satiety (a reduction in hunger after eating) and well-being.*
Dopamine's powerful effects are driven by a scientifically engineered blend of actives including highly standardized botanical extracts that have been carefully assessed for potency and efficacy. Dopamite should only be used by healthy adults who are seeking to achieve significant weight loss.*

Hey, thanks for the suggestion
Right now, I think we are inundated with forums at the moment. There is Range report section that people could talk about it if they wished. If we saw the topics discussed more often, we might be willing to ad such a section. We'll take it under advisement


text: I find all these Jersey Italian stereotypes awfully dated. My family has lived at the Jersey shore for several generations and I haven't seen anyone like that for about 40 or 50 years. Isn't Snooki from upstate NY anyway? It's a shame that they couldn't do a reality show like "Mad Hot Ballroom" for ISI skating. ISI is less expensive and lower pressure for kids than USFSA. If they have a decent coach the truly athletic kids have no problem moving on to USFSA. It might interest more people in figure skating as a fun and fitness activity.

Holidays and celebrations have a steady stock of traits to fall back on. These give you excellent opportunities to explore new script fonts, fat faces, or Old English types. Really, anything that looks traditional is likely to be a nice fit. You can also run wild with pastiche or kitsch – letters that look like they are made of candy canes, leaves, ribbons or snowflakes are fair game.
Type for festive occasions often takes the form of text to be looked at, rather than actually read. Don't go the safe route and pick a face that looks too much like something for a book. Go ahead and let your type call attention to itself; there is no need to be too text-y.
Most important of all, be sure to pick something that feels cheerful; nothing brings down an invitation like a typeface that is too dreary or formal. Your fonts won't be the only element of an upbeat design, either. Color will surely play a role, as will illustration or other imagery. Fonts with holiday ornaments can help in a pinch, too.

Movie Review: Wanderlust
Wanderlust doesn't have much new to say, but it's fast, vulgar, forgettable fun.
Director: David Wain MPAA Rating: R Studio: Universal Pictures
For some, Wanderlust may just be the latest Jennifer Aniston movie to be announced (or widely rumored anyway) as the film in which the star will go topless, but in the end, doesn't. Talk about a played-out bait and switch.
What does happen in the raunchy R-rated comedy is Aniston and Paul Rudd generating chemistry and laughs as the Gergenblatts, a pair of New York yuppie "micro-loft" dwellers who go stone broke and wind up in Elysium, a hippie-dippie, free-loving, peyote-smoking woodsy commune that doubles as a bed and breakfast.
Refugees from the rat race, the formerly ultra-cool Gergenblatts start getting loose and funky – to a point – among the merry bunch of quirky freethinkers and their folk-singing, drug-doing, organic farming. It's old, caricatured, time-worn Hollywood stuff, sure, but pretty enjoyable all the same.
The movie, co-written with Ken Marino and directed by David Wain (Role Models) finds the ridiculously likeable and photogenic Rudd and Aniston in good form among a supporting cast that includes a dead-on hilarious turn from Justin Theroux as the commune's dreadlocked, studly alpha dude who puts the moves on Aniston, Malin Akerman as the group's sex goddess ever willing to unstring up the tightly-wound Rudd, Joe Lo Truglio as a clothing optional winemaker-writer perfectly comfortable letting it all hang out and Alan Alda as the group's aging, stoner founder.
Wanderlust doesn't have much new to say but it's fast, vulgar, forgettable fun.

Epileptic Seizures
An epileptic seizure is the body and brain's response to sudden bursts of abnormal electrical activity in the brain. A seizure may affect a person's muscle control, movement, speech, vision, or awareness (consciousness).
There are two types of seizures.
- Generalized seizures begin over the entire surface of the brain and may involve the whole body. The origin of these seizures cannot be traced to a specific location in the brain. The cause of generalized seizures is presumed to be genetic. Epilepsy that causes generalized seizures is more common in children than in adults. Generalized seizures are usually treated with medicines. But surgery may be helpful in some cases.
- Partial seizures (sometimes called focal seizures) begin in a specific location in the brain. The cause of these seizures is not always clear, but they often result from severe head injury, stroke, brain tumor, brain infections, scar tissue, and other diseases that affect the brain. Partial seizures may affect awareness and only one side or part of the body or may also involve the entire body. Partial seizures commonly occur in adults with epilepsy, but children can also develop them. Partial seizures are usually treated with medicines. But surgery to remove the affected area of the brain or interrupt certain pathways is an option for some people.

Guest post by Samuel A. Worthington, InterAction President and CEO
This blog was first published Dec. 20 as a news release by InterAction, the largest alliance of U.S.-based nongovernmental international organizations, of which ChildFund International is a member.
As Congress debates the upcoming fiscal cliff, charitable tax deductions are at risk.
Yet, during these difficult economic times, we must remain focused on helping our world's poorest and most vulnerable. I am deeply concerned that eliminating or limiting the charitable tax deduction would harm the very people who need the most help.
The more than 200 organizations that make up InterAction are out in the world every day – feeding the poor and helping them to build better futures for themselves and their families. However, these organizations cannot do this work without the generosity of the American people. By harming the organizations designed to help those in need, people will suffer.
While the charitable deduction does reduce government income, it does so in a way that actually triples its effectiveness: For every dollar that does not go to the U.S. government because of the charitable deduction, nearly $3 goes to a charity that helps the poor and the vulnerable. By continuing the deduction in its current form, the U.S. government gets a three-to-one investment in poverty-reduction.
The tradition of charitable giving is American to its core. We should not deter this custom.
thank u members of childfund for helping poor people especially my country sierra leone. may God help u in your fight for poverty. as one of your core intent is to have educated and confident children
Thank you, Mohamed. With the support of our sponsors and donors, we are able to work with children and family members in Zambia and 30 other countries around the world.
