Tested By Fire Conference
One Hope One Boast
Thursday, April 3, 2014 at 6:00 PM - Saturday, April 5, 2014 at 9:30 PM (PDT)
Event Details
In 1 Corinthians 3, the apostle Paul tells us that we must be very careful about how we build on the "foundation…which is Jesus Christ." Why? Because "the Day" will test and disclose the nature of each person's work by fire:
For no one can lay a foundation other than that which is laid, which is Jesus Christ. Now if anyone builds on the foundation with gold, silver, precious stones, wood, hay, straw—each one's work will become manifest, for the Day will disclose it, because it will be revealed by fire, and the fire will test what sort of work each one has done. 1 Cor. 3:11-13
When the fire of the Day of the Lord comes and increases in intensity, it will quickly become evident whether our lives, our families, and our churches had been built with "wood, hay, or straw," materials that get burned up in fire because they cannot, by virtue of their very nature, withstand the heat; or whether they had been built with "gold, silver, and precious stones," materials that come through fire not destroyed, but refined.
Fire is coming to the church; fire is coming to the world at large. What do the Scriptures say this "fire" will look like? Why is God going to send the fire? When the fire arrives, what will Jesus be looking for in the hearts of His people and in the life of His Bride? The hour is urgent, the Day of the Lord is at hand, and however uncomfortable these questions may inherently be, we sweep them under the rug to our own peril.
We invite you to join us at this conference as we seek Biblical clarity on these issues, and then bring them before our Lord in prayer.

One Hope One Boast
This Daniel Training Network conference is a gathering of people with a focus on making our boast in the cross and our hope in the Day of the Lord.
ONE BOAST, MESSIAH CRUCIFIED: "But far be it from me to boast except in the cross of our Lord Jesus Christ, by which the world has been crucified to me and, and I to the world" (Gal. 6:14). What would motivate a human being to embrace such utter foolishness?
ONE HOPE, ETERNAL GLORY: "For I consider that the sufferings of this present time are not worth comparing with the glory that is to be revealed to us" (Rom. 8:18).

I Luv EWE...
Remember Leroy Donald Johnson -- the deputy Mesa fire chief who got popped for slipping it to his neighbor's lamb? The Bird squawked about it in a memorable March item, but someone sent me this gag pic the other day (right), and it got me to wonderin' what happened to the dood.
Apparently, LDJ, who lives or lived in Gilbert next to neighbor Alan Goats, decided on a whim one day to attempt some interspecies lovin'. The Sheriff's report was published on the Smoking Gun. There are some great passages, like this one:
"(Goats) took me through the corral gate, and I saw the victim for the first time. She was a small grey lamb about three feet tall and four feet long. We walked over to the barn, which was a small wooden structure about 12 feet by 12 feet. He showed me how he approached the structure and how he opened the door. He said that when he opened it he saw Leroy holding the lamb down on its side in the hay with his pants down trying to have sex with it."
Talk about animal husbandry -- the report reads like Penthouse Forum for zoologists! In April, LDJ resigned from the Mesa fire department after 26 years on the job, and a record as spotless as that lamb's wool, save for the barnyard bonin'. According to court docs I pulled today, LDJ pled guilty on September 15 to one count of disorderly conduct, and was put on 18 months probation by Judge James Keppel. Part of LDJ's probation is that he can't consume alcohol during it (the Sheriff's deputy smelled alcohol on LDJ's breath when he arrested him), and he's admonished "not have any contact with the victim whatsoever."

On the other hand, LDJ is "allowed to posses his dog 'Major,' and 'two turtles presently at the defendant's residence.'"
Ironic about Major, since LDJ tried to do the lamb "doggystyle."
No word on whether or not the lamb has made a full recovery. Stay tuned...

Paul Heyman Speaks Out On WWE
When Paul Heyman left WWE in December 2006, there were many wrestling fans who felt we may never see him in the company again. Due to a business arrangement with Brock Lesnar (the pair are also close friends), Heyman had a wealth of options out with WWE, not least Lesnar's entrance into UFC and the world of MMA.
Regardless of any history, it made perfect sense for Heyman to return as the on-screen mouthpiece for Lesnar, once the former UFC Heavyweight Champion made his return to WWE this year. The appearance of Heyman added credibility to the overall package, not to mention making for some fantastic verbal jousting with the likes of Triple H and Stephanie McMahon. Now, the former head of (the original) ECW finds himself tied to CM Punk, once again lending weight to the storylines playing out on television. Indeed, Heyman himself appears to be enjoying himself once more.
"I'm having an absolute blast, it's the best of all circumstances. ... Because I'm working with people I absolutely adore working with. I originally came back to work with Brock Lesnar and I couldn't think of a better scenario to come back to WWE (than) with Brock. Then, after Summerslam when Brock went away, I was going away, too, and then came the opportunity to work with C.M. Punk", Heyman said in a recent interview.
"With Brock, I did all the talking and I advocated the position and then he backed it up in the ring. With Punk, it would not make any sense for me to do all the talking. I should do very little talking. 'Ladies and gentleman, my name is Paul Heyman and I'm here to represent the WWE champion C.M. Punk,' and then boom. That's all I should really every say. So, it's a Meyer Lansky-type of position more so than the guy that it up front completely delivering the message for -- by way of example -- Brock Lesnar."

Audio Quotes: Coach John Beilein Presser
Box Score | Notes
Site: Lawrence, Kan. (Allen Fieldhouse)
Score: #1 Kansas 75, Michigan 64
Records: U-M (5-5), Kansas (10-0)
Next U-M Event: Tuesday, Dec. 22 -- vs. Coppin State (Crisler Arena), 7 p.m.
LAWRENCE, Kan. -- Playing a ranked opponent for the first time this season, the University of Michigan men's basketball team fell behind early to top-ranked Kansas (No. 1 AP, No. 1 ESPN/USA Today) and could never recover, losing 75-64 on Saturday (Dec. 19) at Allen Fieldhouse.
The "Motor City Duo" once again led the way for the Wolverines, as senior forward DeShawn Sims (Detroit, Mich./Pershing) had 19 points and seven rebounds and junior guard Manny Harris (Detroit, Mich./Redford) scored 16.
Michigan's season-long shooting woes continued in the first half, converting as low as 23 percent before making its run. The Wolverines finished the game shooting 35 percent but continued to struggle behind the three-point line, going 5-for-28 (18 percent). They were also 11-for-13 (84 percent) from the free throw line.
Michigan's last lead of the game came at the 13:28 mark of the first half (11-10) thanks to a short-corner jumper by Harris, but Kansas went on a 31-9 run to take its biggest lead (21) with 3:41 to play before halftime. Despite spending much of the first half struggling to get open looks, the Wolverines trimmed the lead to just 11 at the break, thanks to an 11-1 run of their own.
After a free throw from Sims, the run was fueled by back-to-back buckets on two occasions: four points in the paint from Sims and five points from freshman guard Darius Morris (Los Angeles, Calif./Windward), courtesy of a fast break layup and a corner three-pointer. Morris came off the bench for the first time this season, scoring nine points and dishing out four assists, his second-best totals of the season.
Prior to the run, Michigan switched to its traditional 1-3-1 zone defense for the first time in the game and forced 14 turnovers throughout the game. Sims gave up almost four inches on Kansas center Cole Aldrich, a preseason All-America candidate, but held him to just five points in 27 minutes of action.
Coming out of the gates in the second half, the Wolverines cut the lead to 11 points on 10 different occasions but could never get to within single digits. Both teams spent much of the second half trading baskets, as Kansas' lead was somewhere between 11 and 14 points for every minute of the second half.
Sophomore guard Stu Douglass (Carmel, Ind./Carmel) got the start for the first time this season, contributing eight points, four rebounds and two assists while handling the point guard duties. Fellow sophomore guard Zack Novak (Chesterton, Ind./Chesterton) filled up the boxscore, finishing with eight points, seven rebounds, two assists and two steals.
The Wolverines edged the nation's top team in a few statistical categories. Michigan had four fewer turnovers -- and subsequently four more steals -- than Kansas and led in points off turnovers (16) and second-chance points (11). Both teams had the same amount of fast-break points (11).
Marcus Morris led Kansas with 23 points, as the Jayhawks pushed their record to 10-0.
The Wolverines return to Crisler Arena on Tuesday (Dec. 22) when they face Coppin State at 7 p.m. It is Michigan's final game before starting the Big Ten Conference schedule. The game will be televised on BigTenNetwork.com.

1. Why do I have to pay Saint Anselm College tuition when I study abroad?
Saint Anselm College is committed to making study abroad a more integral and viable educational opportunity for all our students. This means, in order for study abroad to be accessible to all students, the college has to be able to provide institutional financial aid for students on aid when they study abroad. To accomplish that, the college relies on tuition revenue, since institutional merit and need-based financial aid comes from this revenue.
2. What if the program tuition is more than Saint Anselm College tuition?
Saint Anselm College will pay the program's tuition fee up to the Saint Anselm College tuition rate amount. Students who elect to go on approved programs with a higher tuition cost will be charged the tuition differential between the program rate and the Saint Anselm College rate.
3. What if I choose a program whose tuition is less than Saint Anselm College tuition? What is the college doing with that money?
The Office of International Programs selects and approves study abroad programs based on their academic rigor and integrity as well as for the quality of their student support services. Only then do we consider cost, with the aim primarily of finding programs that do not exceed Saint Anselm College tuition so that students do not incur additional expenses.
Despite the cost of studying abroad, Saint Anselm recognizes the value of the international experience for the individual and the institution upon your return. To facilitate budget management, the college needs to work with a standard set of revenue intake and costs. Thus, we charge each student Saint Anselm tuition, pay the direct academic program costs and award institutional financial aid (grant/scholarship) at the off-campus rate. Depending on the students who choose to participate in a semester/year-long program, we estimate this could cost the college up to half million dollars.
4. I receive Saint Anselm College financial aid. How will my aid apply for study abroad?
Students with financial aid who are approved to go abroad will have their financial aid package reviewed by the Office of Financial Aid for the semester or year that they will be abroad. The student will need to complete all financial aid forms by the March 15th deadline and will be reviewed for eligibility using an off-campus budget for institutional grant/scholarship aid. With the exception of federal work-study, federal aid, such as Stafford Loans, apply to a semester abroad. Students may apply for outside grant resources or use loans to cover the full cost of studying abroad.
5. How will I be billed for study abroad?
When studying abroad, students will be invoiced by and pay the following to Saint Anselm College:
- Saint Anselm College tuition
- $800 Study Abroad Fee
- Student Health Insurance (if on Saint Anselm College health plan)
Students will pay room and board charges directly to the program or host institution. In the instance where that is not included with the program fee, in whole or part (such as when the program provides a 14 meal per week plan), students will pay for their own living and food expenses. In addition, students are responsible for any other costs affiliated with the program such as security deposit or additional excursion costs.
Students remain responsible for airfare, passport and visa fees, any required inoculations as well as other personal items and expenses.
6. Can I take a leave of absence and get transfer credit when I return?
No. The only way students can get Saint Anselm College academic credit for study abroad during the academic year is if they go through the approval process of the Office of International Programs. No academic credit is approved or awarded in any other circumstance.
7. How will my course work abroad show on my Saint Anselm College transcript?
The name of the program will be listed along with the course titles, amount of credit and grades received.
8. What about summer or winter break study abroad - do I still pay tuition?
The home school tuition policy does not apply to summer or winter break study programs offered through program providers since financial aid is not portable for summer or winter study. Students will pay the program fee directly to the program provider. If students elect to study on a Saint Anselm College faculty-led short-term program the student will pay Saint Anselm College the set program fee, including tuition.
9. How many semesters can I study abroad?
Students may spend a maximum of two semesters abroad (which includes summer or winter break study abroad in addition to or in place of a semester study abroad). Students are allowed to study abroad during the spring semester of their sophomore year or junior year. Applications by students wishing to study abroad during the fall semester of their senior year will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis.
10. How does Saint Anselm College choose and approve study abroad programs?
There are hundreds of programs, the quality of each is not the same. The approved programs list is regularly reviewed, evaluated and revised in order to insure that Saint Anselm College is approving only those programs that offer both high academic rigor and student support services. The Office of International Programs requires that returning students complete an extensive program evaluation as part of the review and evaluation of programs.

Chief executive Ralph Findlay said the decision came after a strong performance by the shares and a muscular period of cash generation.
There was some disappointment in the market that like-for-like sales in the past eight weeks were fractionally down on their position in January, both in managed and tenanted pubs. But Findlay said: 'It has been a relatively wet May so I wouldn't read too much into those numbers.'
He added that the World Cup should be a bonus to profits if England do well, as 400 of the group's 598 managed pubs will be serving beer and breakfast during the tournament.
Pre-tax profits in the six months to 30 March came in at £31.3m against £30.7m a year earlier, on sales of £250m compared with £284.4m last time. Shareholders pick up an interim dividend of 9.9p, up 10%.
The shares today were unmoved at 702 1/2p. A year ago, they were limping along at 466 3/4p before investors responded to strong sales growth and restructuring.Reuse content

Dow Chemical to Make Lake Water Drinkable in AzerbaijanRandall Hackley
Dow Chemical Co., the largest U.S. chemical producer, is helping build the world's biggest surface water ultrafiltration plant in Azerbaijan with HidroLotus LLC.
The facility in Baku, where work began in June and will be completed this year, will turn water from Ceyranbatan Lake into one of the main clean-drinking sources for the city's 3 million residents, Midland, Michigan-based Dow said in a statement.
Dow Water & Process Solutions and HidroLotus, a venture between Azeri Hidro Group and Turkish Lotus Group, gave no terms for the contract. The plant's ultrafiltration technology will use double-walled, hollow-fiber membranes that cut the energy needed to filter water for drinking, remove particulates and reduce operating costs, according to the Feb. 20 statement.

Chef Phillip Lopez Announces Second New Orleans Restaurant
New Orleans is abuzz today with the announcement that Chef Phillip Lopez, owner of Root, is opening a second restaurant. Square Root, which will be located in the Lower Garden District, is scheduled to open by the end of 2012.
The restaurant will offer a chef's table with a 10 to 15 course prix fixe tasting menu.
We were in New Orleans today dining at Root (which is featured in our July issue) and chatted with Chef Lopez about the new venture (in between bites of his charcuterie).
The new restaurant, he says, will be a cross between Momofuku, Brooklyn Fare and Jose Andres' Minibar — with a distinctly New Orleans flavor. As he does at Root, Chef Lopez will combine the freshest local ingredients with global influences that reflect his world travel. (At Root one can order Spanish Style Chorizo, Louisiana Pickled Shrimp, and Aloo Gobi — an Indian dish — off the same menu.)
Square Root will eliminate the divide between the kitchen and the diners, who will watch as chefs as they experiment with new creations.
"It's an exciting time to be in New Orleans, and we're thrlled to be part of the city's revitalization," Chef Lopez says. When he speaks, it's with passion about surprising visitors and locals alike with innovative dishes on par with those found in New York or L.A.
Times-Picayune restaurant critic Brett Anderson says Root is "indisputably (and admirably) unlike any restaurant New Orleans has ever seen."
We'll have to wait to see what Square Root brings. But it's anything like the meal we had at Root today … there's a lot to look forward to.

We order from here at least twice a month. We love the pizza and the bread sticks are great. I like the spaghetti too. This pizza is even good the next day. Cash only!
I grew up on this pizza...
Just as today, as it was years ago.
Great sauce, lots of toppings, and wonderful flavor!
We ordered an unbaked pizza to enjoy hot out of our oven. It was ready for pick up when we arrived. It was wrapped in aluminum foil and boxed. The toppings were tasty and generous. I would have preferred a bit more sauce. The crust baked up crisp, but tasted like an average pre-made crust. The price was very reasonable....
I grew up and still currently live in Richmond Indiana. Mercurio's is my favorite pizza in town. Their hours are odd though. If you live in Richmond, I think its best to pre-order the pizza, and take it home frozen because I think it tastes best when you cook it yourself. Personally my favorite pizza is pepperoni with extra cheese!...
Mercurios pizza has consistently been a "must have" on our get-aways to Richmond, but I suspect that run has come to an end. As always, the pizza had more than ample ingredients applied, and were held in place by our request to have the extra cheese placed atop the ham, pepper, & mushroom. The price, though not necessarily competitive with...
No dislikes. The pizza is mouth watering. Good service. Quick. Carryout is available. Sandwich menu is very good, also.
One of the best pizza's in Richmond. No shortage of toppings, as they pile on whatever toppings you order. A great value. Carryout or delivery only.
OK, maybe I'm biased because I grew up eating Mercurio's pizza. And my grandparents were good friends of Matt and Ann Mercurio, so even years after I left Richmond, whenever I visited, I could always count on getting some frozen pies to take home with me (even if it was on the days when they were closed). But I still...
Fresh ingredients and convenience are the key to this home town staple.
We were at the VFW across the street from Mercurio's. I noticed pizza being delivered. The barmaid called in a small pizza order for us. When it arrived, we got two pizzas. The man said the first pizza was overcooked, so they made us another one. We could eat the toppings off the overcooked one if we wanted to. That...

Raiders Advance To State, Coach Announces Departure
The Rider Raiders earned a spot in the 4A state tournament with a pair of wins over Cleburne on Friday night and then found out their coach is stepping down at the end of the season.
Rider advances to the state tournament for the fourth time with 8-7 and 4-0 wins over the Yellowjackets taking the regional final series 2-1.
After the game, Scot Green informed his team he was stepping down as head coach after the Raiders trip to Round Rock to spend more time with his family. He intends to continue teaching.
The Raiders needed two wins after dropping a 3-1 decision last night at Justin Northwest High School.
Rider took a 5-0 lead into the seventh inning of game two in the series only to see Cleburne score five runs forcing extra innings. A Nick Russell double scored two runs as the Raiders scored four in the ninth and then hung on for an 8-7 win.
In the decisive game three, sophomore Alec Lemmon tossed four shutout innings and the Raiders earned a trip to state with a 4-0 win.
Rider will be playing against Tomball Thursday June 6th at 4 pm at Dell Diamond in Round Rock, Texas.

Somebody needs to talk me out of this...
If no stud LB fall in the draft next year, the Ravens should consider drafting Tavon Austin with the last pick of the first round. After watching him slice through Oklahoma and watching the Ravens do nothing against the Steelers, I wish the Ravens would take him and try to turn him into a Welker like receiver.
Part of me knows this is insane but another part of me knows every time he touched the ball at M & T the crowd would go insane.

It looks like you're new here. If you want to get involved, click one of these buttons!
Help Please, Can anyone offer some advice on cleaning a chain I have a prouduct called muc off to clean the chain but what do i use to clean the cassette and the front fly wheel also the 2 little wheels on the gearing system. The other issue that I'm really lost about is which chain lub to use wet dry or wax any advice appreciated
Pipe cleaners are good for getting between the cassette rings. Much easier with the wheel off the bike. Sounds obvious I know.
Front fly wheel - I guess you mean the chainrings - dead easy if the chain is off, a bit of muc off and a rag.
The two derailleur wheels can never be completely cleaned, it's one of the unwritten rules of bikes. You think they're clean, then you put the chain back on and they're covered in muck again.
You can do that, and you'll think they're clean, but in the time it takes to re-fit them and get ready to ride they'll be filty again. They're the black hole of the bike world, dirst gets sucked in and never escapes.
once a year I strip the whole mech down including chainrings, cassette, jockeys, chain etc and soak them in degreaser. give them a good clean, slap them back on and bingo - you hear the silence!
pain in the arse job but worth it after all the winter crap
and as CD says, you never eliminate all dirt but you can get rid of a load.
next is to buy a cheap ultrasonic bath to use the degreaser in - that should make cleaning easier.
OCD me??
The proper way to clean a chain is this
Probably not something you'd do every ride - maybe once a week or so.
Doozer. wrote (see)
I think Id prefer to buy a new chain than do that Pops
I have a park tool chain cleaner works pretty well, bought a bottle of degreaser from Halfords to top it up - get it cleaned properly at LBS after 6 months and replace once a year.
Once a year!!!
The original chain is still on my first road bike which I bought aged 16.
I'm now 40
To be fair it probably hasn't done too many miles.
cougs - I've got some Fenwicks - MucOff is still more effective so worth the extra
GT85 for the chain ? Probably better than nothing it's more of a water displacement spray/penetrating lube.
For me the dry lubes are a waste of time unless you apply them liberally pretty much time you go out - much prefer something with a bit more staying power like Finish Line ceramic wet.

Please tell me the link is a wind-up and that people don't actually do this...
I'd rather buy a new chain every week.
I'd also rather tear my face off with hot pliers.

TV Stands 31 To 40 Inches
Wesleyan Electric Fireplace Insert & Home Theater Mantel in Meridian Cherry
AGR Series 37" 3 Shelf TV Stand & Audio Rack in Black or Silver w/ Tempered Glass
Choosing Your TV Stand by TV Size
Television Screens are measured diagonally from corner to corner, this dimension is not usually the same as the actual dimension of the television frame, bezel, or housing as measured by actual width, height, and depth. It is important when choosing the right furniture for your television that both of these dimensions and weight requirement are considered. All of our TV Stands are measured by overall width x height x depth with the actual width in the product name, so a 60" (inch) TV Stand is 60 inches wide.
To choose a new TV stand first measure the overall width of your TV including the frame, bezel, and housing and then match the width of the TV to the corresponding width of the TV stand. Of course you can put a smaller TV on a larger stand, but it it not recommended to put a larger TV on a smaller stand....
Probably the most important factor in choosing your new TV stand is the size of the TV you are putting on it and how much room you will need for other components and devices.
Our TV Stand categories are broken down into 6 size groups: Under 30" Wide, 31" to 40" Wide, 41" to 50" Wide, 51 to 60" Wide, 61" to 70" Wide , & 71" plus.
Giant TVs (60" or Larger diagonally)
Large TVs (50" to 60" diagonally)
Midsize TVs (30"to 50" diagonally)
Small TVs (Less than 30" diagonally)

A British Formula for Fantastic Furniture
By Helen Walters
Little did they know when a mutual friend introduced them that the meeting would spark one of the most interesting business propositions to hit the furniture industry in years. But that's exactly what happened when Angad Paul, CEO of Caparo Group, met Alasdhair Willis, the former publishing director of style and interiors mag Wallpaper*.
"We got chatting about general experiences and ideas, and then he mentioned this notion that he had been thinking about for some time," says Paul from his London-based office. "It was only after a couple of meetings that we truly realized the potential of our collaboration. The fit turned out to be beyond serendipity."
That collaboration is Established & Sons, a boutique furniture design firm currently showcasing products by eight British designers, both well-known names (Jasper Morrison, Zaha Hadid) and up-and-coming talents (Barber Osgerby, Alexander Taylor). With 15 pieces in its regular collection, along with numerous limited-edition pieces, it all seems pretty standard for a boutique design agency. But the company differs from other small ventures like Isokon or Thorsten van Elten in a key aspect—and its name is Caparo.
With a turnover for 2006 set to top the $1.3 billion mark, Caparo Group is essentially a holding company of various manufacturing facilities. These supremely specialist subsidiaries deliver parts and finished goods to clients in a range of industries, from the military to automakers—including Aston Martin and Jaguar. Established & Sons can harness these design and manufacturing capabilities to fashion its roster of products.
"Through the group's facilities, we have access to tools which would cost another company a great deal of money," says Willis of the partnership, details of which he described simply as "equal" and "long term." (There are three other founding directors, Mark Holmes, Sebastian Wrong, and Tamara Caspersz.) "Other firms might have to invest in tools that cost a quarter of a million pounds in order to make one part of one chair. And it's impossible to be competitive if you have to farm out every aspect of the production process."
Established & Sons, in contrast, can experiment almost freely with the technology and skill of a vast array of resources. The limited-edition Zero In table, designed by Barber Osgerby, is made from the same high-density plastic used in Formula One car-body parts. Other designers are experimenting with an anti-vibration mesh used in warships. While designers aren't limited to working with Caparo companies, the connection is an obvious advantage that propels the fledgling Established & Sons into the ring with the heavy hitters of furniture manufacturing such as Cappellini and Herman Miller (MLHR).
Another driving force behind the collaboration was the desire of both Willis and Paul to promote British design and engineering talent. "While I was at Wallpaper*, I got an incredibly in-depth insight into how the furniture industry works, and saw this seemingly inevitable migration of British designers to work with overseas manufacturers," explains Willis. "I understood the reasons for it, but my mission was to find a serious manufacturer within Britain. I couldn't believe that we didn't have the skill base and the ability here."
Not that they're being entirely, altruistically, patriotic. The "cool Britannia" factor perennially goes down well overseas, especially in Japan. "I'm not saying that everyone cares that our provenance is British," admits Willis. "But as a package of British manufacturing and quality British design, we believe we're tapping into something that's highly marketable and interesting."
As for Paul, who acts as non-executive chairman of the company, the opportunity to showcase the capabilities of Caparo's subsidiaries in a creative, somewhat unexpected context was hugely appealing. "The combination of design and design engineering and British manufacturing meant that Established & Sons was a really welcome platform," he says. "People have been writing off Britain's service capabilities for years, but we've trebled our size in manufacturing in the past three years alone. Established & Sons provides a welcome shop window for us."
Practically speaking, Established & Sons works with a roster of designers on a product-by-product basis. Unlike fine artists, who typically work with only one agent or gallerist, furniture designers often collaborate with numerous manufacturers. But an active part of the Established & Sons business plan is to develop and nurture those relationships. "Designers are becoming more akin to artists, and there are real considerations to bear in mind when working with them," says Willis. "Such as thinking about whether they're being overexposed, which is a real, vital, consideration. And yet furniture manufacturers have never thought about it."
The company produces both hugely high-end, limited-edition pieces (a prototype of the Aqua Table by Zaha Hadid just fetched $300,000 at auction in New York, a record for a piece of furniture design) as well as cheaper, more mass-produced items. "We have a good balance between limited pieces that are there to generate conversation and debate, and the commercial bread-and-butter pieces," says Willis. But he adds that every piece in the collection has to meet a basic criterion: "Would I want to own it? Do I want it in my house? If we don't believe in something as a piece of design, then we wouldn't commission it."
Another major difference between Established & Sons and many of the other major furniture manufacturers is the speed with which they move from concept design to marketplace. Designs launched at fairs such as the Salone del Mobile in Milan regularly remain commercially unavailable for another two years or so, an accepted industry standard that Willis & Co. are keen to reject.
"The industry isn't looking to speed up, but they're really missing a trick," Willis says bluntly. "It's pretty basic: If you launch something, people should be able to get hold of it as soon as possible. And you shouldn't have to spend marketing money relaunching the same product two or three times. Yet that's what happens: It's utterly bizarre. In contrast, we launched 10 products in Milan in April of this year, and the majority of them are going into stores now. We're working incredibly hard and quickly to get things done to get the products out there—without jeopardizing the quality."
"There's no doubt in anyone's mind that consumer interest in art and high-end design has grown at every level in the past 10 years," concludes Paul. "We don't want to sound presumptuous, but in Alasdhair we've got someone who understands the space, we've got fantastic designers, Caparo knows a thing or two about building a successful business.… Now it's down to the consumer to decide whether they want the company to succeed or fail."

A Filly
What's interesting about the combination of Haliluyah MH and Imperial Pharasha, is the intensification of the timeless stallion, *Ansata Ibn Halima. There are five crosses to this horse in the pedigree.
However, in her tail female line, through *Pharrah, this filly traces to Bint Sabah, the same mare who produced by Baiyad, the Babson import, *Bint Bint Sabbah. On the paternal side of her pedigree, she carries the blood of this special Babson mare through Fa Saana (*Fadl x *Bint Bint Sabbah) and FaSaab (*Fadl x *Bint Bint Sabbah). So, I find this amazing, as this pedigree blends the same family of Dahman Shahwans, through more than one source. There aren't many horses in our community who combine these elements together, in one pedigree.
I like this filly alot and I can't wait to see the beautiful mare that her pedigree tells us that she will become.

Caught! 2015 Ford Expedition, Inside and Out
Refreshed Large SUV Expected To Finally Get Updated F-150 Powertrains
There has been a lot of buzz about many of Ford's current and upcoming car and truck models, including the 2015 F-150, the updated 2015 Super Duty and its even more colossally powerful 6.7-liter Power Stroke diesel V-8, and, of course, the 2015 Mustang. But the one vehicle we haven't heard a great deal about was the Expedition, Ford's full-size, body-on-frame standard bearer. These shots show what look to be late-stage 2015 Ford Expedition mules out testing.
Based on these spyshots, the vehicle will likely not be entirely brand new, but instead a comprehensive refresh, which will likely include all-new engines from the F-150 lineup and a new interior showing a strong resemblance to the current F-150. The inside shows a steering wheel shape and design similar to the current F-150's, with the addition of pushbutton starting. Both short- and long-wheelbase mules were seen testing, indicating the Expedition EL will continue in the lineup.
The long-running 5.4-liter 24-valve V-8, which has been discontinued in the F-150 for several years, will likely finally be retired in favor of one or several of the F-150's engines. The 5.0-liter, 360-hp DOHC V-8 will likely be standard, with the 3.5-liter EcoBoost V-6 possibly offered as an option. There is also a possibility that the F-150's base 3.7-liter naturally-aspirated V-6 may be offered as an entry-level powertrain for budget-conscious shoppers. It's highly unlikely the Raptor's thirsty 6.2-liter V-8 will be offered in the Expedition.

22'' SATIN BLACK REPS (New w/less than 50miles)
I'm selling a set of 22" Satin black Replicas I got a few weeks ago. The difference in look compared to the 20" black replicas I had is unreal, shoulda been an option from the factory. They feel the same as my 20'' felt from a driveability standpoint. They don't even have 50 miles on them since they were mounted. I would prefer local (DC/ Baltimore/VA) sale unless buyer willing to pick these up or meet me half way not too far away, not willing to deal with shipping hassle. Selling these because unfortunately I might be selling the rig in a few days if all goes through.
They're wrapped in Vredstein's with the best possible combo tire size IMO 265/35/22 fronts and 315/30/22 rears, which I had to purchase separately due to the fact that FR wouldn't sell and mount anything larger than a 295 rear tire. Got all mounting and balancing done at the dealer. Centercaps have on a nice set of SRT8 logo liquidomes as well, I'll try to post a pic of them later on. I also bought and got installed the newest generation of TPMS from chrysler, which are slick ALL BLACK without the ugly silver stem the previous ones had. I spent a total of $2450 a few weeks ago for the set, and willing to sell for as low as $2100 period. I will also include a set of black lugnuts.
Re: 22'' SATIN BLACK REPS (New w/less than 50miles)
holy crap. that is nice. good luck with the sale.
Re: 22'' SATIN BLACK REPS (New w/less than 50miles)
Thanks man, I bought this beast to keep it for life man, got an offer that's pretty hard to refuse so I took it. I feel a little bit of depression LOL. Rig is probably the most unmolested one out there with 7058 miles of loving from the 3 mile mark.
Re: 22'' SATIN BLACK REPS (New w/less than 50miles)
SOLD!!!! LOL quick!!

Festival of short films from Western Australia. Episode includes; ADRIFT BY Gavin Narkle. Thomas is a boy on the wrong side of the road. To get him away from bad influences, his mother sends him to the country to stay with his Pop. Through fishing expeditions his Pop forces him to take, he learns that breaking the rules can have dire effects. WEEWAR By Glen Stasiuk. This is the story Weewar a Noongar warrior who was judged by English Law for a payback that was delivered to another Aboriginal person, under traditional law.
Transcript of ProgramRACHAEL MAZA: Hi, and welcome to Message Stick. I'm Rachael Maza. Once again, this week we take a look at the films that have come out of the Deadly Yarns initiatives. So first up, we hope you enjoy 'Weewar'.
SCENE - Aboriginal man on a boat.
SCENE - Aboriginal man runs quickly through the bush.
VOICEOVER: The savages have laws of their own. As he is part of the tribe of Pinjarra, who resisted. He proceeds to fulfil the law of his own country of his forefathers, of his religion. No man we know can serve two masters.
SCENE - Men of the tribe sit around a campfire at night.
1st MAN: Yes! Us elders say kill one of them.
2ND MAN: Yes... Yes agree - Kill Dyung.
3RD MAN: His family killed your son. He must be speared!
SCENE - The man sent by the elders surveys the dawn from a hilltop.
SCENE - A campfire at night. The man hides behind a tree overlooking the camp tent.
MAN INSIDE TENT: Come on. No cheating.
SCENE - The man sneaks up on an Aboriginal man sleeping outside the tent. He wakes up to see the man standing over him clutching the spear given to him by the elders. He takes aim...
SCENE - Open grassland, an Aboriginal tracker leads two troopers on horseback.
TRACKER: That way, boss.
SCENE - The man and the troopers see each other at the same time, and the chase is on through the bush.
TROOPER: I'm coming, I'm coming!
TROOPER: That way.
SCENE - The troopers surround the man. They take aim with their rifles while the man takes aim with his spear. The troopers rush the man and club him to the ground.
SCENE - A courtroom in colonial times.
DEFENCE LAWYER: We must recollect the savages have laws of their own. That they are bound by imperious custom to obey.
PROSECUTION: It is ridiculous to exclude the natives of our law on the grounds that we acquired the possession of this colony through occupancy rather than conquest.
DEFENCE: He proceeds to fulfil the laws of his own country.
PROSECUTION: It is now necessary to advance his civilisation.
DEFENCE: Of his forefathers, of his religion, requires the death of another.
PROSECUTION: To kill his fellow savage.
DEFENCE: And executes their vengeance, not his own.
PROSECUTION: It was also a crime.
JUDGE: Guilty. I sentence you to life imprisonment on Rottnest Island. Take the prisoner away.
SCENE - Man is led away in chains onto a small rowboat
SCENE - Open water, two men row while an officer guards the prisoner.
OFFICER: Henry Trigg is my name. I will oversee construction of a lighthouse. You, Nanook, will be put to work with other natives.
NANOOK: I know to kill a white man is bad...but if a Nyungar kills my son... ..then I'll spear him and make it right... This is our way! This is our way...
SCENE - Henry Trigg looks at Nanook, unable to understand him but moved by the passion with which he spoke. Nanook casts his mind back to when he saw the sun rise over his country from the hilltop.
POSTSCRIPT: In memory of the many Aboriginal people who died in exile on Rottnest Island prison, never to see their homeland again.
RACHAEL MAZA: I'm now joined by the director of 'Weewar' Glen Stasiuk. Thanks for joining us.
GLEN STASIUK: No problem.
RACHAEL MAZA: Now, Glen, this film had the added challenge of being a period piece. So, can you tell us what was it like winding back the clock, so to speak?
GLEN STASIUK: Oh, it was definitely a challenge. The money was substantial compared to what I've done in the past. But to set this film in 1840, where the story obviously takes place, with the money that we did receive, it was definitely a challenge. Particularly, obviously because we shot on the water as well.
So all the stories of shooting on water were true. We had to recreate, obviously, a water piece. Plus we had to recreate, the Nyungar landscape wasn't so hard, but we had to recreate a colonial piece in 2005. And the Nyungar stuff was quite easy - getting out into the bush - because obviously it's there and it's accessible, but it was when we had to get into the colonial setting with period piece and the Fremantle and Perth area and trying to make it look like it was set back 150-odd years ago. Yeah, it was hard. But we did it, I think.
RACHAEL MAZA: So, Glen, how important was it, to tell this story?
GLEN STASIUK: Oh, it's an important story because from our perspective over here, Nyungar's in this budja, this part of the country, in this country that we call Nyungar. We don't often get films made about us and our people. So to tell a story about the first Nyungar man to be tried under white law in the WA colony from 1840, it's just important for historical purposes. For children to learn about some of the history back then in colonisation. But also for Nyungars to feel proud that their language is being spoken on camera for one of the first times on an ABC production. And also that their stories are being told now from Nyungars about Nyungars in Nyungar country.
RACHAEL MAZA: So this story started from the community. It was their story and then you were brought in as a director. So tell us what your experience was, collaborating with the community to bring their story to life and what it's taught you.
GLEN STASIUK: Well, originally the community, the Waugal Aboriginal Corporation down at Pinjarra, came to me. They originally wanted this story told in a documentary genre, which is what I'm experienced in. But we obviously were given the money to do the drama, Which was a challenge in itself. But I think we achieved most of what we set out to do.
But Waugal had seen my previous work about Aboriginal soldiers, 'The Forgotten', and wanted someone to tell the story who could understand from a Nyungar perspective, which I am, Nyungar descent, and also from that, I suppose, traditional Nyungar man up against colonisation and up against bureaucracy, which I deal with most of my job in my day. And also that element of warriorship. 'Cause that's what Weewar was, he was a warrior as well.
And obviously doing 'The Forgotten' with Aboriginal soldiers, you know, there's that similarity between the warriors of the 20th century and the warriors of 1840. And Weewar was a proud warrior. So I think we achieved what we set out to do, Waugal and myself, which was to tell the story from a Nyungar perspective and give it drama and clarity. So, yeah, I'm pretty happy with that.
RACHAEL MAZA: Thanks, Glen, for joining us here on the show. And good luck with the film.
GLEN STASIUK: Thank you.
RACHAEL MAZA: We're now gonna meet Karrie-Anne, who is the writer and the community with whom she works with, where the story of Weewar comes from.
SCENE - Young girl speaks in Nyungar dialect.
GIRL: In English it means, Watch and listen to Nyungars speak about our country.
KARRIE-ANNE KEARING This film is dedicated to my father, Theo Kearing, a Bindjareb warrior, who passed away. And I'm hoping that he's very proud of what I've become today. He was just a strong man. He knew what he wanted, and he went after it. So I'm hoping that I can do the same. If it wasn't for him I wouldn't know half the things I do. So I thought what better way to do it than do a film on a bit of research that we used to do.
SCENE - A local Aboriginal centre with colourful paintings that has fallen into disrepair.
KARRIE-ANNE KEARING This was the local Aboriginal Centre but it was like this and then my Dad built it up and had all the artwork. And then after he passed away it sort of, this is what it is now. Slowly but surely, something will happen back here again. Starting to get the kids back in. We're doing like a breakfast club now. And hopefully get language through there and tell them about Pinjarra. If it goes through, looking at it, helping the kids first, then they can tell the parents, and it will be carried on like that. Got my brother singing a couple of songs in there with Trevor. He's the lead actor. Like, a couple of the traditional songs from around here, and one that, 'cause Trevor's from a different area, that they come up with together. Powerful song. When I went to the producer, it was originally a half-an-hour. Then we just cut it, cut it to the best bits. And all of it was important to me. Which made it hard to cut it. But the way it turned out, you can see that it's just a good movie. Yeah, this could be the start of something really good for Pinjarra and its people.
RACHAEL MAZA: And the second film for this week is called 'Adrift', the journey of a young boy and his grandfather.
SCENE - Aboriginal youths are chased by police in an urban setting at night. One youth tries to hide but is found by the police.
SCENE - Inside a car, the youth sits in the passenger seat with his mother in the driver's seat.
MOTHER: I can't believe you did this. Alright. You're going to stay with your Pop.
YOUTH: What?
SCENE - The car on the road, heading bush.
MOTHER: So, is that what you want to do for the rest of your life, is it, Thomas? Try a maximum security, then you'll know what's coming your way. Carrying on like that you'll spend the rest of your days in jail. Thomas, are you listening to me?
SCENE - At dusk, the car pulls up at a house and the headlights shine on an elderly man standing on the porch.
SCENE - We can't her, only see the woman talking to her father in the kitchen. Thomas sits in the loungeroom watching TV with his headphones on.
SCENE - Next morning, Pop leaves the house. The noise wakes Thomas up in his bedroom.
SCENE - Thomas slowly eats a slice of bread on the porch. A young boy rides up on his bike.
BOY: Hey, Tom cuz, what you doing here?
THOMAS: Just staying here for a bit. What you doing?
BOY: Oh, nothing much. Just hanging around the place.
SCENE - Roadside, the two boys have set some beer bottles on a tree stump and are slinging rocks at them. A car drives by and Thomas aims to sling a rock at it.
BOY: Hey, what are you doing, cuz? You can't shoot at cars.
THOMAS: Yeah, yeah. Whatever.
SCENE - The kitchen. Pop is eating dinner as Thomas walks in.
POP: Dwayne said you'd been out in town.
THOMAS: I've just been walking around. I don't like staying at home. I like being out at night.
POP: I don't want you going out alone at night. Tomorrow I'm gonna take you fishing.
THOMAS: Fishing?
POP: Yep. Teach you how to fish.
SCENE - Next day at the river. Pop fishes while a bored Thomas and Dwayne throw rocks into the river. Pop shakes his head in slight dismay. The boys come over.
SCENE - Thomas walks down to the river's edge and is fascinated by a stone he pulls out of the water.
SCENE - The boys join Pop for some fishing.
POP: Now all you've gotta do is wait. Feel for the bites.
THOMAS: How long is this gonna take?
POP: Depends how good you are, doesn't it?
THOMAS: Hey, hey! Fish are biting. I can feel them.
POP: Well, pull it in.
THOMAS: It's nice here.
POP: Mmm. When we was little, we used to come down here all the time with the old people. Playing, fishing. Catching turtles too.
THOMAS: I didn't catch any fish yet.
POP: Yeah, you can come here any time you want, now you know what to do. Don't come down here at night time.
SCENE - In the loungeroom that night. Thomas and Pop are watching TV, Thomas still has his headphones on. He takes them off and puts them on Pop's head. Pop's pleasantly suprised that he enjoys the music.
SCENE - Next morning, Thomas tries to sneak out of the house, but Pop comes out of the bathroom and catches him.
POP: What are you sneaking around for?
THOMAS: I was going to try again.
POP: (Coughs roughly) OK. Just make sure you're home before dark.
THOMAS: Yeah.
SCENE - Thomas rushes out, Pop stands in the hall and coughs. He's clearly unwell.
SCENE - Down by the river, Thomas sits fishing. As it gets dark, the bush seems to become a frightening place. Suddenly startled, Thomas rides quickly home. Inside the house...
THOMAS: Pop! Pop!
MAN: Hey, young fella, Pop's in hospital.
THOMAS: What for?
MAN: I don't know, bro.
SCENE - Thomas slips into a hospital room. Pop lays in bed, eyes closed. Thomas clutches his hand.
SCENE - Hospital waiting room, Thomas uses the pay phone. He cries softly.
THOMAS: Hey, Mum.
SCENE - Hospital room dissolves to white, and we see Thomas in the car heading home with his Mum. He stares off into the distance in thought. He reaches down and picks up the stone he took from the river. He looks up and sees an old man on the side of road. Startled, he wonders...
RACHAEL MAZA: I'm now joined by writer and director of 'Adrift', Gavin Narkle. Thanks for joining us.
GAVIN NARKLE: No worries.
RACHAEL MAZA: So, Gavin, can you tell us how you came about getting this story, where this story came from?
GAVIN NARKLE: Er, this story basically at the very start came from a story I wrote ages ago, from a little synopsis I wrote. And I've been working with kids such as the main character in the film, kind of kids that have been in trouble with the law and stuff. So I decided to write a little story. Maybe that will eventuate into a film. And when Deadly Yarns came along I, yeah, it was just a perfect opportunity, basically.
RACHAEL MAZA: As first-time director, tell us about your experiences making this Deadly Yarns story.
GAVIN NARKLE: Oh, I loved it, basically. I got to direct my own film that I wrote. So, I really loved the experience, basically. I found out that it takes a lot of hard work. It takes listening to your crew, the professional crew. Yeah, and I really, I would do it again. All again, yeah. Basically.
RACHAEL MAZA: So, Gavin, what are your hopes? What do you hope is the outcome for you in the future?
RACHAEL MAZA: Oh, definitely to write and direct more films. Definitely. Yeah, just keep doing it and doing it and doing it until eventually you get a chance to make a feature, basically. That's my ultimate goal, basically.
RACHAEL MAZA: So, you've got some ideas?
GAVIN NARKLE: Yeah. I do. Yeah, they're all just out there in "ideas land". So, yeah, I just gotta get a nice idea and write a script basically, yeah.
RACHAEL MAZA: Excellent, excellent. Gavin, all the best of luck in the future. I'm sure you're gonna make that feature or many features.
GAVIN NARKLE: Thanks a lot
RACHAEL MAZA: Fantastic. So, now we're gonna meet Adam, who starred in the film, and see how he travelled on this journey.
ADAM: I became the lead actor when my Auntie told me that she was gonna put me through this film thing. And I thought, "Yeah, I'll be interested in that." And then she told me one day that, she gave me a script, and told me to memorise the lines. And then a couple of weeks later, I got an audition with Gavin. And I just said the lines, and then he said I was pretty good. I was pretty nervous, 'cause I didn't know when I was coming to the audition, what he would think about me. 'Cause I've never done it before.
Oh, doing the film was, it was really good. But it was just really long and hard. Lots of effort put into it. And the days were, like, 10 hours. And the day that was really hot was, I think it was day number two, where we were down at the river. And it was just like, 30-something degrees and it was really hot. And everybody was just sweating heaps.
It was really good working with the other actors. Because I got to know them really well in that short time that we were doing the filming. And, yeah, they were really funny. Jim was a good actor. He, just like Della, he gave me lots of tips. And it was funny 'cause on one day, the kitchen scene, every time he, 'cause he had food and he had to eat it, and every time he went to eat the food, when they stopped the take he ran outside and spewed it up because he didn't like it.
Oh, well, it was a bit different having makeup on, because I'd never done it before. So when I saw myself on camera, it looked really different. It felt, 'cause I'm only seeing that front view, and all the background and stuff that I saw was real different.
Yeah, it was really interesting with the shots because we did them... We didn't do scene 1, the first. We did scene 16, and whatever. And it looked really interesting, when it was all put together. Like, from scene 1, 2, 3 and on. Gavin was a really good director. He just talked me through every scene and told me what to do. He was really good and he put it together well.
Well, my mates think that it's really great, and they think I'm a big superstar and stuff. The girls love it. Me being an actor. (Laughs)
RACHAEL MAZA: And that's all we have time for this week. If you'd like to find out more about Message Stick or the Deadly Yarns initiatives, head over to our website on www.abc.net.au/message
See you next week.

There are 24 hour emergency vet clinics in most areas. If you call the number at your regular vet, their voicemail message will usually give you the phone number for the emergency place. Honestly, if your leg was broken and you were in pain, would you think it was ok to wait until tomorrow and then sit around until 9 am for the vet to open?
Allie answered on 5/17/09. Helpful? / 1
You need to get your cat into a vet right away! Virtually every vet has a policy for after hours emergencies and they should have directions for after hours emergencies on a recording if you call their phone number. This IS an after hours emergency and you NEED to get your cat treated right away! Would you wait til tomorrow if your leg was broken?!

Jonathan Chait has been having a back and forth with Will Wilkinson over the extent and insurmountability of regulatory capture. In his last reply, Chait summed up his position like this:
If [Will] has access to some study showing that regulation usually, as a rule rather than the exception, become s a weapon of the powers it was intended to regulate and winds up serving the opposite of its intended purpose, then I'm willing to listen. But if his only argument is "look at all of Tim Carney's articles," then no, I'm not persuaded, and and not many people outside the economic libertarian world are going to be, either.
Given the varieties and scope of regulation this would be a difficult question to answer with a particular study, or even with a handful of studies. Another problem is defining the challenge as showing that regulations end up "serving the opposite of its intended purpose". Shouldn't it be enough to show that regulations don't serve their intended purpose at all but instead simply raise prices?
To focus on one class of regulations in particular, consider occupational licensing. In his book"Licensing Occupations: Ensuring Quality or Restricting Competition?", Morris Kleiner surveys the literature on occupational licensing and finds a lot of evidence that it does nothing to improve quality. From teachers to interior designers to medical professionals. Now here, at the mention of medical professionals, is where alarm bells start going off in everybody's heads except libertarians. I'm not arguing that any regulation of medical professionals represents inefficient capture in-and-of-itself, but that on the margin the restrictions put into place on medical professionals represent attempts to control competition rather than quality.
For instance, there are studies showing that the wide state-by-state variations in these regulations do not affect outcomes. In medicine there are studies showing that malpractice insurance premiums aren't lower in states with occupational licensing, which you would expect if licensing was increasing service quality. There is evidence that nurses provide providing primary care services as effectively as doctors. There are the studies showing that licensing and certification for teachers do not improve outcomes. This is unsurprising given that in most cases how one qualifies for a license is strongly influenced by or even directly set by some group representing the interests of the industry.
In some cases it can even worsen outcomes by driving people priced out of the market into the black market, where quality is very low due to informational problems caused by regulation pushing these markets into the shadows. It's difficult to develop a good or bad reputation when having any reputation whatsoever risks attracting law enforcement.
So I don't know if this quite represents an answer to Chait's challenge. But the balance of the evidence shows that on the margin occupational licensing does not improve quality. How important is that margin? Well there is a huge variety in the level of occupational licensing in states. Indiana has around 11% of it's workforce licensed, while California has 30%. If all states moved towards regulatings more like Indiana, based on the evidence it seems unlikely that quality would be impacted despite cutting the number of licensed occupations down to nearly a third of the current level for some states.
There's obviously a lot of regulation other than occupational licensing, so this doesn't rebut Chait's wider point. But it is a very important and widespread class of regulation. At the very least I would hope Chait would agree that regulatory capture is decidedly more than an exception to the rule when it comes to occupational licensing.
Finally, I'd also like to answer the challenge that libertarians aren't interested in making these laws work better, and are only in abolishing them. Yes, because regulatory capture here has proven fairly intractiable, so just getting rid of many occupational licenses will be a huge improvement. But I am also interested in improving occupational regulations.
One thing that states can do is write these laws with sunset provisions that force legislators to reexamine them at some point. This was a suggestion by the Cato Institute in a paper I can't find. Another thing that states can do is have mandatory registration for certain occupations, which is what Pennsylvania does for contractors. This help solves informational problems by ensuring that contractors can't lie about who they are and then rip you off, and allows sites like Angie's List to work better by ensuring that someone can't dodge bad reviews by using fake names. States should also look at other states and see what works for them, given the wide variety of licensing there is a lot of improvement states can make by following their neighbors. The last suggestion is to give Matt Yglesias millions of dollars to start a think tank dedicated to identifying and calling attention to bad occupational licenses, and identifying good examples of occupational regulation.

Protesters against the Keystone XL Pipeline took to the streets in Waterville on Sunday.
The protesters are part of the 350 Central Maine group.
They say there are several reasons as to why the pipeline should be denied.
