Bill Gates Gets Teary-Eyed While Discussing Steve Jobs, Shows Off Life-Saving Tech on 60 Minutes

Gates has new toilets, bug zappers and even nuclear reactors in the works
Microsoft co-founder Bill Gates showed a bit of emotion when discussing his last meeting with former Apple CEO Steve Jobs in a recent interview, and even demonstrated some of
his latest technologies
that aim to save lives.
Journalist Charlie Rose interviewed Gates on CBS'
60 Minutes
this week, where Gates opened up about his relationship with Jobs -- who
died from complications with pancreatic cancer
in October 2011 -- and showed off technologies that he hopes will aid his philanthropic work.
When Rose asked Gates about Jobs, Gates showed a rare, emotional reaction to the topic. He described a meeting with Jobs right before he died, where the two talked about issues like electronic devices helping education and even about a boat Jobs was building just for fun.
Gates' eyes welled up slightly when talking about their lives as both friends and rivals.
"He and I, in a sense, grew up together," said Gates. "We were within a year of the same age, and we were kind of naively optimistic and built big companies. And every fantasy we had about creating products and learning new things-- we achieved all of it. And most of it as rivals. But we always retained a certain respect and communication, including even when he was sick."
While helping to run Microsoft and competing with Apple is a large part of Gates' life, it's not his whole life.
Gates is currently chairman of Microsoft. He stepped down as CEO in 2000 (handing off the title to Steve Ballmer) and quit day-to-day duties as the company's chief software architect in 2006.
Now, Gates focuses on his philanthropy. Through the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation, he aims to help what he calls the "bottom two billion" -- which is a third of the world's population (mainly in developing countries) who live on less than $2 a day.
Gates wants to help these areas and the rest of the world by eradicating polio by 2018, tuberculosis in about six to seven years and malaria in about 20 years. He also wants to improve nutrition and agriculture. How? Through new technologies he's creating, of course.
One of these inventions is a thermos that can keep vaccines cool in developing countries, where electricity is hard to come by. Gates turned to Seattle-based company Intellectual Ventures (where he is an investor and inventor) to create the thermos, which can keep vaccines cold for 50 days on a single batch of ice. It can hold vaccines for about 200 children.
Gates also set out to address another problem: two and half billion people in the world do not have satisfactory toilets, meaning that fecal matter and urine is often in water and right out on the streets. This leads to the spread of disease.
Gates sought to fix this by launching a contest last year which asked participants
to create a toilet without plumbing
, but safely got rid of waste. There were 20 contestants with a variety of ideas ranging from burning to use of lasers. One of the winners that is being made into a prototype processes the waste inside the toilet and recycles the water throughout the system.
In March of this year, Gates launched another interesting contest:
create a condom
men will actually want to use. This would help prevent the spread of HIV.
As far as malaria goes, Gates has worked on a bug zapper that uses a laser to shoot and kill malaria-infected mosquitoes.
Finally, Gates showed off a new nuclear reactor that would burn depleted uranium, which could prove to be cleaner, safer and cheaper than traditional reactors. It has a fuel supply of 60 years, meaning it doesn't have to be opened up and refueled often. He hopes to have a prototype by 2022.

Woman Claims Police Beat Up Teen Son
A Far Rockaway woman has charged that police officers from the 101 Precinct beat her son and forced him through a chicken shop's front plate-glass window although he had done nothing wrong.
Alana Peppers of Hassock Street told The Wave that her son, Jameek Peppers, 18, two of his younger brothers and a friend were walking home from playing basketball at the Sorrentino Center on Cornaga Avenue at about 8:30 p.m. on October 7, when the four decided to stop at Crown Chicken to get something to take home.
Peppers says that the boys ordered and were standing outside the shop waiting for their food when a police officer came from across the street and asked them what they were doing. According to Peppers, the boys were told, "Get inside the restaurant," by the cop.
When the boys did not respond quickly enough, the woman says, the cop threw him against the wall and in the struggle the two went through the restaurant's plate glass window, injuring a man and his young son sitting inside.
She says the cops then beat Jameek, stomping on his head and handcuffing him before taking him to St. John's Episcopal Hospital, where he required 23 stitches in his leg and buttocks.
Official sources, however, tell a different story.
A police source told The Wave that Peppers "resisted arrest vigorously" and "refused to comply with a police officer's orders."
We used the necessary force to subdue him," the source said. "In the tussle, both he and the police officer went through the window."
Court records said that Police Officer Christopher Barbieri of the 101 Precinct saw Peppers and his friend, Amin Luna engaged in "wrestling" with each other in front of the restaurant. When he went to tell him to stop, Peppers allegedly punched Barbieri in the head. Police Officer John Florio, who was standing in front of the precinct house and saw the punch, rushed across the street and tried to grab Peppers.
Florio says in his deposition that Peppers continued to punch at the officers and flail his arms to avoid being handcuffed. During that altercation, Florio says, Peppers pulled Barbieri through the window, injuring Mario Fernandez-Acosta and his son, four-year-old Jason Fernandez- Acosta.
According to the district attorney's office, Peppers was charged in a criminal court complaint and arraigned on October 8 on charges of assault, resisting arrest, endangering the welfare of a minor, harassment and disorderly conduct.
Attorney Ronald Nir is representing Peppers.
"Based on what I know, this does not seem to be lawful police conduct," Nir told The Wave. "We have passed the case to the NYPD's Integrity Bureau for investigation."
Nir thinks that the police story does not ring true. He says that witnesses have told him that a black officer, who uttered racial slur at Peppers, tussled with the teen and went through the window with him, despite that fact that neither of the two officers listed in the official record, Florio and Barbieri are black.
Peppers was released on his own recognizance. His next date before Judge Joseph Zayas will be November 15, according to the DA's office.

NEC Presents Boston Premiere of Benjamin Britten's Paul Bunyan, April 14—17
Artistic Director Stephen Lord Conducts First Main Stage Production
with NEC at Paramount Theatre; James Robinson is stage director.
Libretto by W.H. Auden Reflects Creators' Optimistic View of America
For his first main stage production as Artistic Director of Opera Stephen Lord will conduct the Boston premiere of Benjamin Britten's Paul Bunyan, in four performances, April 14—17 at the Paramount Theatre. James Robinson, Artistic Director of Opera Theatre of St. Louis, is the stage director. The recently renovated Paramount, located at 559 Washington St. in downtown Boston, is a new venue for the Conservatory, which has most recently been staging opera in the Cutler Majestic Theatre.
Based on the folk tales about the gigantic lumberjack Paul Bunyan and his big blue ox, Babe, the 1941 operetta—as Britten styled it—has a libretto by W.H. Auden. In two acts and a prologue, the drama is at once humorous and playful but with a serious subtext in which America is portrayed as the great hope for the world. It reflects the creators' gratitude and optimistic view of America at a time when they, as pacifists, were taking refuge here during World War II. According to the original program book notes, Britten and Auden "conceived of Paul Bunyan as a projection of the collective state of mind of a people whose tasks were primarily the physical mastery of nature. This operetta presents in a compressed fairy-story form the development of the continent from a virgin forest before the birth of Paul Bunyan to settlement and cultivation when Paul Bunyan says goodbye because he is no longer needed, i.e., the human task is now a different one, of how to live well in a country that the pioneers have made it possible to live in."
The musical setting has a populist accessibility and incorporates a variety of American styles, including folk songs, blues and hymns. Some commentators have likened it to musical theatre
Paul Bunyan will have four performances with two casts, April 14, 16, 17 at 8 p.m. and April 15 at 3 p.m. Tickets are $20, $16 for students/seniors, 2 for 1 with WGBH Member ID Available on line or by calling 617-824-8000.

W.H. Auden's preface to the libretto:
Paul Bunyan by W. H. Auden
Most myths are poetical history – that is to say, they are not pure fantasy, but have a basis in actual events. Even in its dreams, the human mind does not create out of nothing. The anthropomorphic gods of folk-legends may, for example, in many instances, represent memories of invaders with a superior culture; these, in their turn, should a further invasion occur, may be demoted into giants and dragons. The fantastic elaborations are an expression of the psychological attitudes of men toward real events over which they have no control. Further, myths are collective creations; they cease to appear when a society has become sufficiently differentiated for its individual members to have individual conceptions of their tasks.
America is unique in being the only country to create myths after the occurrence of the industrial revolution. Because it was an undeveloped continent with an open frontier and a savage climate, conditions favorable to myth-making still existed. These were not, as in most previous civilizations primarily political, the reflection of a cultural struggle between two races (though Bunyan does fight the Indians) but geographical. In the New World the struggle between Man and Nature was again severe enough to obliterate individual differences in the face of a collective danger.
Appearing so late in history, Paul Bunyan has no magical powers; what he does is what any man could do if he were as big and as inventive; in fact, what Bunyan accomplishes as an individual is precisely what the lumbermen managed to accomplish as a team with the help of machinery. Moreover, he is like them as a character; his dreams have all the naïve swaggering optimism of the nineteenth century; he is as Victorian as New York.
Babe, the blue ox who gives him advice, remains a puzzle; I conceive of her quite arbitrarily, as a symbol of his anima, but, so far as I know, one explanation is as valid as another. Nor have I really the slightest idea why he should fail to get on with his wife, unless it signify that those who, like lumbermen, are often away from home, rarely develop the domestic virtues.
Associated with Bunyan are a number of satellite human figures, of which the most interesting are Hel Helson, his Swedish foreman, and Johnny Inkslinger, his book-keeper. These are eternal human types: Helson, the man of brawn but no brains, invaluable as long as he has somebody to give him orders whom he trusts, but dangerous when his consciousness of lacking intelligence turns into suspicion and hatred of those who possess it; and Inkslinger, the man of speculative and critical intelligence, whose temptation is to despise those who do the manual work that makes the life of thought possible. Both of them learn a lesson in their relations with Paul Bunyan; Helson through a physical fight in which he is the loser, Inkslinger through his stomach.
In writing an operetta about Bunyan, three difficulties arose. In the first place, his size and general mythical characteristics prevent his physical appearance on the stage – he is presented as a voice and, in order to differentiate him from the human characters, as a speaking role. In consequence someone else had to be found to play the chief dramatic role, and Inkslinger seemed the most suitable, as satisfying Henry James's plea for a fine lucid intelligence as a compositional center. Inkslinger, in fact, is the only person capable of understanding who Paul Bunyan really is, and, in a sense, the operetta is an account of his process of discovery.
In the second place, the theatrical presentation of the majority of Bunyan's exploits would require the resources of Bayreuth, but not to refer to them at all would leave his character all too vaguely in the air. To get round this difficulty we have interposed simple narrative ballads between the scenes, as it were, as solo Greek chorus.
Lastly, an opera with no female voices would be hard to produce and harder to listen to, yet in its earlier stages at least the conversion of forests into lumber is an exclusively male occupation. Accordingly we have introduced a camp dog and two camp cats, sung by a coloratura soprano and two mezzo-sopranos respectively.
The principal interest of the Bunyan legend today is as a reflection of the cultural problems that occur during the first stage of every civilization, the stage of colonization of the land and the conquest of nature. The operetta, therefore, begins with a prologue in which America is still a virgin forest and Paul Bunyan has not been born, and ends with a Christmas party at which he bids farewell to his men because now he is no longer needed. External physical nature has been mastered, and for this very reason can no longer dictate to men what they should do. Now their task is one of their human relations with each other and, for this, a collective mythical figure is no use, because the requirements of each relation are unique. Faith is essentially invisible.
At first sight it may seem presumptuous for a foreigner to take an American folk-tale as his subject, but in fact the implications of the Bunyan legend are not only American but universal.
Until the advent of the machine the conquest of nature was still incomplete, and as users of the machine all countries share a common history. All countries are now faced at the same and for the first time with the same problem. Now that, in a material sense, we can do anything almost that we like, how are we to know what is the right thing to do an what is the wrong thing to avoid, for nature is no longer a nurse with her swift punishments and rewards? Of what happens when men refuses to accept this necessity of choosing, and are terrified of or careless about their freedom, we have now only too clear a proof.

Nitish Kumar began his political career as a student activist at Bihar Engineering College, who was drawn into the popular anti-Indira movement led by socialist leader Jaya Prakash Narayan in 1974. His debut into politics was rewarded with two quick jail terms, shortly before and after Emergency was imposed.
Like many other student leaders, he too entered the electoral fray - on a Janata Party ticket - when Emergency ended and polls were held in 1977 and lost. He lost from Harnaut assembly seat in Nalanda district, contested and lost again in 1980.
Luck smiled on him in 1985, when he won from Harnaut as a Lok Dal candidate. He exploited the opportunity and made a mark for himself. He stood out in the assembly for being an articulate speaker. In 1987, he became the president of the Yuva Lok Dal and by 1989, was the secretary general of the Janata Dal in Bihar.
When the anti-Bofors wave brought the opposition together against Rajiv Gandhi and his Congress party in 1989, he contested the Lok Sabha elections from Barh and defeated former union minister Ramlakhan Singh Yadav.
Soon he found his feet in the power corridor of New Delhi, as the minister of state for agriculture under prime minister Vishwanath Pratap Singh. He was instrumental in installing the government Lalu Prasad in Bihar in 1990, but their relationship strained later. Kumar and 12 other MPs walked out of Janata Dal to form the Samata Party in 1994.
Kumar became the Railway Minister when NDA came to power in 1998. His portfolio later changed to agriculture. In between, he was the chief minister of Bihar for seven days from March 3, 2000, to March 10.
Kumar lost the 2004 Lok Sabha elections to RJD's Vijay Krishna, but soon won from the adjoining Nalanda seat vacated by George Fernandes, who had shifted to his old Muzaffarpur constituency. Months later he quit Delhi to focus on Bihar. The decision paid off. In 2005, he ended the 15-year rule of the RJD leading NDA to victory in the state polls.

Connection Sister Joists
1 Attachment(s)
I want to add some sister joists to a 16' span. Its a 90 year old house with 2x8 joists. The only problem is my service entrance wire goes right through the middle of the span (since the meter is on the opposite side of the house as the breaker panel). I can not cut and move the service wire without it being a serious pain. Here are my options (that I can think of anyway)...
1) Use two 8' joists that meet at the wire notch the end of one so that the wire fits into it. (my attempt in attachment). Then use metal straps above and below the wire to connect the two joists.
2) Use one joist to span the whole length, but notch it from the top to fit around the wire. Then put another smaller joist (3-4') notched from the bottom and then bolt them together around the wire.
Of course the easy solution would be to just put in a post but that would be right in the middle of my TV room...
Thanks in advance!
Tough Situation
It is, of course, best to relocate the service cable but I can see that it could become a project in itself. So, your full length option of sistering is best, a 2 X 8 to the existing 2 X 8 with as small a notch as practical, then cut a piece of 2 X 8, at least eight feet long with the opposing notch and through-bolt together or perhaps just a piece of 3/4" plywood eight feet long and screw it off with steel screws, not drywall screws, and through-bolt it. I assume this is storage above and the ceiling joists are just supporting the ceiling material, e.g gypsum board, and you have sagging and/or movement, you may wish to consider installing plywood over the joists on the attic side to form a diaphragm and that will stiffen the ceiling joists further. Be careful not to compress the insulation. Other than the above, the only thing that comes to mind is to open up the ceiling and install a flush girder that bears at both ends of the room, probably requiring the wall to be opened up and perhaps blocked below. Good Luck.
Just my opinion, but to me it sounds like what you're considering is more trouble than just de-energizing the meter socket for a day and pulling the SE cable back so you can work freely.

Local film group shoots scenes in Ballard and Crown Hill
Ballard and Crown Hill were popular filming areas for a local film group, and now they are releasing the footage.
Seattle film team, RAWSTOCK Media Group, will be debuting their series-film "Everyday Is A Journey" on YouTube throughout the week of their film festival, Klausterfokken, which occurs on Dec. 11 at the Northwest Film Forum.
The locations the filmmakers chose to use were Carkeek Park, Ballard Commons Park and Taj Yoga Studio.
"With many of us living on the north end it just made sense to shoot scenes where it was convenient," said RAWSTOCK producer and actor, Dylan Noebels.
The film is a satirical and dark comedy that tells a crime-drama story about small time con artists and yoga aficionados mixed up in kidnapping, extortion and murder. The film is littered with symbolic irony and humor.
Much of the story evolves around a yoga instructor and his student, so the crew needed to find a yoga studio. Noebels, who plays a yoga student and protagonist in the film, is also a yoga instructor at Taj Yoga Studio. He referred the studio to the crew and they found that it provided a perfect place to shoot. It also allowed the producers to not change the script and use much of its "yoga" humor.
"Yoga is so popular these days and because of that there is so much to make fun of and that's what the beginning does. …There is a yoga pose called Plow Pose, so we made up an awkward looking pose called Aggressive Plowman and its pretty funny to see the actresses pull it off," said Noebels
"Everyday Is A Journey " is not your typical film with one director and a standard linear plot formula. RAWSTOCK created the film with six chapters in mind and used six different directors to create each chapter. Each segment uses the same characters but how these characters interact were independently decided, where each director needed to pickup the threads left by the last.
"Every director really tried to screw up the next director as much as they could and twist the plot into a corner so that is was as difficult as possible for the next director to carry on the thread," said Noebels.
The concept of the film is the brainchild of RAWSTOCK co-founder, Justin Freet. He thought it would be interesting concept and something he had never tried.
He wrote the first chapter and pitched the idea to other Seattle directors and writers. Soon many Seattle filmmakers wanted to be a part of the experiment.
"Its truly an organic movie. It was alive and you never knew where it was going to go after one director took over," said Freet.
The film features many Seattle filmmakers such as Nick Perleros, Will Russell, Christian Palmer, Jason Reid and Ian Connors. It also features writer Damon Agnos and Seattle's musical group Iska Dhaff's, Nate Quiroga.
"It was a motley crew of Seattle indie film makers that are established in their own ways and with so many different creative perspectives it is amazing that we pulled it off. … We had people with kids and people working on documentaries or music and it's amazing we all held on and finished," said Freet.
The film wrapped up shooting in 2011 and a few of the six episodes were aired online or at different film events. However, "Everyday Is A Journey" was never shown in its entirety. RAWSTOCK has now edited the film and plans to release in succession each of the six parts every day on YouTube starting Dec 8. The entire film with bonus clips will be shown on the seventh day.
"There are so many different creative ideas happening in the film – some I liked and others I didn't, but that's what the project was all about. … Now that its finished there's so much to love, and I'm very happy with it, " said Freet.

"An excellent introduction to agile and how it affects the software test community!"
–Gerard Meszaros, Agile Practice Lead and Chief Test Strategist at Solution Frameworks, Inc., an agile coaching and lean software development consultancy
"In sports and music, people know the importance of practicing technique until it becomes a part of the way they do things. This book is about some of the most fundamental techniques in software development–how to build quality into code–techniques that should become second nature to every development team. The book provides both broad and in-depth coverage of how to move testing to the front of the development process, along with a liberal sprinkling of real-life examples that bring the book to life."
–Mary Poppendieck, Author of Lean Software Development and Implementing Lean Software Development
"Refreshingly pragmatic. Chock-full of wisdom. Absent of dogma. This book is a gamechanger. Every software professional should read it."
–Uncle Bob Martin, Object Mentor, Inc.
"With Agile Testing, Lisa and Janet have used their holistic sensibility of testing to describe a culture shift for testers and teams willing to elevate their test effectiveness. The combination of real-life project experiences and specific techniques provide an excellent way to learn and adapt to continually changing project needs."
–Adam Geras, M.Sc. Developer-Tester, Ideaca Knowledge Services
"On Agile projects, everyone seems to ask, 'But, what about testing?' Is it the development team's responsibility entirely, the testing team, or a collaborative effort between developers and testers? Or, 'How much testing should we automate?' Lisa and Janet have written a book that finally answers these types of questions and more! Whether you're a tester, developer, or manager, you'll learn many great examples and stories from the real-world work experiences they've shared in this excellent book."
–Paul Duvall, CTO of Stelligent and co-author of Continuous Integration: Improving Software Quality and Reducing Risk
"Finally a book for testers on Agile teams that acknowledges there is not just one right way! Agile Testing provides comprehensive coverage of the issues testers face when they move to Agile: from tools and metrics to roles and process. Illustrated with numerous stories and examples from many contributors, it gives a clear picture of what successful Agile testers are doing today."

Excellent comparison of the Republican versus Democratic administrations and economic outcomes
I found this to be an excellent summation contrasting and comparing how Republican and Democratic governance has operated. There are some consistent trends in areas like deficits, job creation, etc.
I actually found myself at my computer standing up to give this author and site a standing ovation of one. I hope those who read it will join me in making that a broader round of applause for an excellent pulling together of resources and analysis.
This is an excerpt:
You will often hear critics say that Bush left office with a $454 billion deficit. That was the deficit at the end of 2008 (12/31/2008). Then what accounts for the period from the end of December until the President is sworn into office in late January? Any calculation that begins when President Obama took office or at the end of 2009 (because the President had been in office for a year), is just flat-out wrong.
Heres how it works...the fiscal year is from October 1 through September 30th. So a President governs for his first 9 months under the budget of the preceding administration.
At the end of the Bush fiscal year, September 30, 2009, the deficit was $1,417,121.
Obamas first fiscal year, September 30, 2010, the deficit was $1,294,090. The deficit went down!
Obamas second fiscal year September 30, 2011, the deficit was $1,298,614.
Obamas third fiscal year August 31, 2012 (latest available), the deficit was $1,164,373.
Unemployment Rates
Clearly Democratic Presidents create more jobs per year than Republican presidents. Unemployment rates are higher under Republicans....its just a fact.
Johnson 1966-1969 average unemployment rate of 3.7%.
Clinton 1994-2001 average unemployment rate of 4.9%.
Kennedy 1962-1965 average unemployment rate of 5.2%.
Nixon 1970-1977 average unemployment rate of 6.3%.
Bush 1990-1993 average unemployment rate of 6.7%.
Carter 1978-1981 average unemployment rate of 6.7%.
Reagan 1982-1989 average unemployment rate of 7.3%.
Note: In most cases I have not listed numbers and percentages for President Obama because agencies take so long to formulate the numbers, I found I was unable to verify any of the figures.

3. looking for that discussion on "democratic vs republic"
There's this old (from 2003) discussion which gets at the questions I have:
I noticed that Wikipedia's description of the American government has been edited to remove any description of democratic government. It has been my understanding that the country is a Republic, but governed democratically. I figure this is being altered to reflect the fact that Republicans today want to prevent any legitimacy for the voes of minorities. And since the pundits point out that we are soon to be a minority of whites vs all other races, this is the apparent plan for coping and preventing voting rights of the emerging majority.
I believe this needs a major push back by those who respect the traditions of a democratically elected government in the United States. Sure, A "Banana Republic" is what we've become, but it isn't what we were meant to be by the founders.
Task #1: How do we fix the Wikipedia entry?

4. Some more comparisons
Job Creation of record of post-WWII Presidents With Completed Presidencies, Plus Kennedy, Average Annual % Increases :
(Sorted from best to worst by average annual percentage increase in jobs. Republicans in red, Democrats in blue. Notice that -- with the tiny exception (0.02% difference) of Nixon to Kennedy -- the worst Democrat has a better record than the best Republican). And actually, Kennedy did not have a chance to complete his term -- had he done so, and had he had the same job creation numbers in December 1963 through January 1965 as Johnson had (a 3.48%/year annualized rate of increase), he would have easily topped Nixon.
Average Average
number of Jobs at Annual
Jobs start of Percentage
Created Term Increase
President Per Month Millions In Jobs
========= ========= ======== =======
Johnson 196,500 57.3 4.12%
Carter 215,396 80.7 3.20%
Truman 93,570 41.4 2.71%
Clinton 236,875 109.7 2.59%
Nixon 137,030 69.4 2.37%
Kennedy 105,059 53.7 2.35%
Reagan 167,729 91.0 2.21%
Ford 71,483 78.6 1.09%
Eisenhower 36,854 50.1 0.88%
G.H. Bush 54,021 107.1 0.61%
G.W. Bush 11,406 132.5 0.10%
The average annual % increase in jobs is a much fairer way to compare presidents than just the raw job creation figures in thousands because the latter is unfair to the earlier presidents who were working with much smaller labor forces to begin with. For example the number of job holders at the beginning of Truman's administration was only 38% as many as at the beginning of Clinton's administration, and 31% as many as at the beginning of G.W. Bush's administration. So Truman's pathetic-looking 93,570 jobs/month creation record turns out to be even better than Clinton's 236,875 jobs/month record when adjusted for the size of the labor force.
In raw thousands of jobs created, both Reagan and Nixon beat Truman. But when adjusted for the size of the labor force -- again, by looking at average annual percentage increases in jobs -- Truman beats them both.

5. Interestingly, the CBO projected a FY 2009 deficit of $1.2T BEFORE Obama took office
Some righties telling you that Obama doubled the last Bush deficit, from less than 500 B$ to more than a trillion dollars?
They are trying to make you think that the last Bush year was Fiscal Year 2008. Actually, the last Bush budget (FY 2009) contained a projected deficit of $1.2 Trillion. Fiscal Year 2009 covers 10/1/08 - 9/30/09 -- the last 3 2/3 months of the Bush Administration plus the first 8 1/3 months of the Obama administration. The budget for FY 2009 was signed into law by Bush. It contained a projected $1.2 trillion deficit according to FactCheck.org:
Shortly before Obama assumed office, the nonpartisan Congressional Budget Office {on January 7, 2009} projected that the deficit for fiscal year 2009 would be $1.2 trillion ( http://cbo.gov/ftpdocs/99xx/doc9957/MainText.3.1.shtml ). {Bush left office and Obama assumed office on January 20, 2009 at noon}
The fiscal year ended on Sept. 30, 2009, with the deficit at $1.4 trillion. But only some of that was Obamas doing. We conducted an exhaustive study of the spending bills Obama signed for that year, and concluded that Obama can be fairly assigned responsibility for a maximum of $203 billion in additional spending for fiscal 2009. Others put the amount lower: Economist Daniel J. Mitchell of the libertarian CATO Institute who once served on the Republican staff of the Senate Finance Committee has put the figure at $140 billion.

Startling Lineups
Being an opening musical act is kind of lame. Concert headliners get all the hot teenage jailbait and ass loads of applause while supporting bands are pelted with beer bottles. Of course, it could be worse. After Eagles of Death Metal opened for Guns N Roses in Cleveland last fall, the legendary Axl Rose announced to the crowd that the Pigeons of Shit Metal would never open for him again. Ouch.
Local music bookers Trevor and Tachi Denton of Fiasco Shows are part of a new generation of promoters with a simple theory on creating a killer concert lineup: schedule not-quite-ready-for-prime-time bands that dont suck. The show isnt successful if you aren't enjoying the majority of it, says Tachi. We understand that each band has their own fans, but were trying to build a reputation that if you go to see one band at one of our shows, you'll enjoy the rest as well.
Fiasco Shows' latest showcase features indie rock bands A Life of Science, Aurele, The Tuning Room, We Spell Disaster, and The Scenic Line. While Axl Rose may still be a god to aging metalheads, Fiasco will never book musicians with a hankering for onstage tomfoolery and back stage snobbery. Its hard to have a good time when one band puts off a vibe that they are better than everyone else, says Tachi. It helps when the bands are kind, no matter how popular they are.

"Heroes" Stars Support Cast Member's Directorial Venture
Star of "Heroes" Milo Ventimiglia, enjoyed the presence of most of his fellow cast members at the premiere of his TV series, "It's a Mall World." Ventimiglia directed a series for American Eagle consisting of three-minute episodes that will be airing on MTV and in American Eagle stores. I don't quite understand the whole American Eagle TV thing, but I've recently become able to wear their low-rise jeans again, since they've stopped with the whole "pap-smear-ready" low-low-rise jeans, so they're back on my radar somewhat. Meanwhile, "Heroes" cutie, Hayden Panettiere, told TMZ not to expect to cover her DUI case any time soon. Damn. We were on such a roll.
Many more photos of the Heroes cast from the It's a Mall World Original Series Premiere Directed By Milo Ventimiglia are after the jump.

"What's for dinner?" says Mike to his mother as he rushes through the door, late from soccer practice. "No time," says Mom. "I've got to get Janie to her piano lessons—just grab something. We'll get a bite to eat on the way, and Dad's eating at the office since he'll be home late."
If this scenario sounds familiar, I'm not reading your mail. I just know how busy you are—how busy we all are.
New school year. Fall sports season. Parents who work outside the home. Put them together and you have a dizzyingly hectic lifestyle, a lifestyle that often causes family mealtime to fall by the wayside. Sitting down for a family meal provides more than just good nutrition, though. It's a feeding of the soul, a time to share life as a family where simple moments are transformed into something beautiful and lasting.
In times past, children could be seen at the dinner table but were not to be heard. Thankfully, that has changed, as we now know the value of providing a safe and enjoyable mealtime environment for the entire family.
Family mealtime is critical to your children's physical, emotional, and spiritual development, as well as their academic and behavioral progression.
Family mealtime is the primary avenue for parents to connect with their children. It's a time for parents to serve as role models, to encourage healthy eating habits, and to establish family traditions. Children benefit from the socialization, the establishment of family unity, and the increased literacy and language development that occur during mealtimes.
Social skills develop naturally when family mealtimes are a regular practice. Children learn through the observation and interaction that occurs in a mealtime setting.
Because families are so busy, mealtime may be the only time to have a real conversation. As kids participate in the conversations, they learn how to take turns skills, not to interrupt, and proper etiquette.
Mealtime can become a safe place to share personal thoughts, feelings, and opinions. I don't know of a single family that would say they are not closer to each other because of regular mealtimes that include the entire family.
A 2007 study at the National Center on Addiction & Substance Abuse at Columbia University reveals that children who have frequent family dinners are at a 70-percent lower risk for substance abuse and are half as likely to try cigarettes or marijuana compared to kids who have fewer than three family dinners per week.
Families that eat four or more meals a week together also tend to be healthier. Kids eat more fruits and vegetables when served a home-cooked meal or are instrumental in helping prepare the meal. And less fast food benefits everyone.

Football is finally back.
Four local teams will be in action tonight, kicking off an 11-week regular season followed by a month of playoffs. Here's an A-to-Z list of what to look for in Southern Arizona this fall:
A is for Dante Anderson. The Amphitheater running back finished his junior season strong, scoring 11 touchdowns and averaging nearly 225 yards of total offense in the last four games. Anderson shouldn't miss a beat under first-year coach Jorge Mendivil.
B is for back on the sidelines. After spending the last five seasons away from prep football, Pat Nugent is back on the sidelines as an assistant coach at Cienega. The former Pima College coach spent nine years at Canyon del Oro and will face his former team in Week 4.
C is for Cropp. Troy Cropp, Pusch Ridge Christian's third-year coach has the Lions coming off a 10-2 season and trip to the Division V state quarterfinals. With star running back Taylor Fitzgerald hoping to rush for 2,000 yards, Pusch Ridge is in position to play deep into November.
D is for defensive Dorados. CDO returns all but three starters on defense, including linebacker Tristan Peterson, who averaged 7.9 tackles a game as a sophomore in 2013. He had eight tackles-for-loss and three sacks, and also scored five touchdowns on offense.
E is for Ethan Eagerton. As a sophomore in 2013, Eagerton led Empire with 10 catches for 168 yards and two touchdowns. He also pulled in two interceptions. He could have a breakout season.
F is for farewell. At the end of this season, we'll say farewell to Cienega coach Nemer Hassey, who is hanging up his whistle to focus on being the school's principal. It won't be a permanent farewell, though; Hassey said he plans on returning to coaching down the road.
G is for gigantic. Bisbee senior Jason Linden, at 6 feet 6 inches and 331 pounds, may be the biggest player in Arizona. Linden recently bench-pressed 225 pounds 26 times, coach Chris Vertrees, said. Want some context? Former ASU star Will Sutton benched 225 pounds 24 times at the NFL combine.
H is for halftime show. Rincon/University is coming off a winless season, but first-year coach Lucius Miller has provided the Rangers with a reason to be excited. If that's not enough to get you to Rincon on Friday nights, the schools' award-winning marching band puts on a must-see halftime performance.
I is for invincible. Salpointe Catholic has won 14 straight games heading into tonight's season opener, and Dennis Bene's Lancers have also taken their last 42 games against Southern Arizona opponents. Their last loss to a local team came against Ironwood Ridge on Oct. 10, 2008. Lancers standout lineman Justin Holt was in fifth grade.
J is for Joiners. Former Amphitheater all-state player Tamoni Joiner is an assistant coach with the Panthers and his son, Jamarye, is a freshman playing on Salpointe's varsity team. Jamarye Joiner could be the next
big thing for the Lancers, especially as they try to replace the dynamic Cam Denson, now a freshman at
the UA.
K is for Kevin Kuhm, Nogales' first-year coach. A year after leading Rio Rico's football team to its best season ever, the 27-year-old Kuhm is now behind the wheel of a team that is two years removed from a state semifinal appearance. Keep an eye on the Apaches.
L is for local state champions. Southern Arizona has produced a state champion in each of the last two years. A local team has reached the state finals in each of the last eight seasons.
M is for Todd Mayfield. Todd Mayfield retired as Palo Verde's head coach last winter but will still be in the game this fall. Mayfield will serve as an assistant under Tucson High coach Justin Argraves.
N is for Nevada-bound. Salpointe senior Taylor Powell, who verbally committed to the Wolf Pack last month, is my early pick for Southern Arizona's defensive player of the year. Powell was remarkable in 2013, averaging 11.5 tackles a game while amassing 21 tackles-for-loss, five sacks, two interceptions and two forced fumbles.
O is for overdue. It has been more than a decade since Sahuaro has beat east-side rival Sabino. In fact, the Cougars have won just one of the last 14 matchups. Still, Sahuaro is optimistic: Two-way senior Derik Hall believes this is the team that can finally end the skid.
P is for playoffs — or postseason. Call it whatever you want, but Sabino coach Jay Campos has never missed out on playing into November. The Sabercats have reached the state playoffs in 12 straight seasons; Campos has been their head coach for the last 11 years.
Q is for quest. Jeff Scurran, entering his second year at Catalina Foothills, can reach 200 career high school wins this fall. His career record stands at 191-46-1. The Falcons could do it: They're coming off an 8-3 season that nearly included a trip to the state quarterfinals.
R is for Roses. Douglas senior Blaze Rose, owner of the world's coolest name, threw for a school-record-tying four touchdowns in a win over Cholla last year. That matched the mark his father, Tony, set back in the 1970s when he was quarterback for the Bulldogs.
S is for Sunnyside. The Blue Devils missed the playoffs in each of the last two seasons but are primed for a big year with 12 starters returning. S is also for sabroso: Sunnyside home games feature some of the best carne asada in town.
T is for targeting. Officials will be monitoring targeting, the act of intentionally spearing an opponent, extra closely this season. The penalty will result in a loss of 15 yards and possibly an ejection that would include a one-game suspension.
U is for under the radar. Marana, coming off a 5-5 season, is the team most likely to surprise this fall. Third-year coach Andy Litten has 11 returning starters from 2013, including two-way star Travis Howard and running back Bradley Gonzales, who rushed for 945 yards and 18 touchdowns a year ago.
V is for volleyball star turned football player. Catalina senior Cole Kowalski, one of the top volleyball players in Arizona, will take his talents to the football field this fall. Perhaps he can help the Trojans reach the state playoffs for the first time since 2009.
W is for Wildcats in coaching. Former UA tight end Clarence McRae begins his third season at Mountain View while Brandon Sanders, a member of the Desert Swarm defense of the mid-1990s, is entering his first season as Pueblo's coach. They aren't the only ex-Cats on the sidelines this fall: Former UA quarterback Kris Heavner is Scottsdale Horizon's head coach.
X is for X-factor. Pueblo junior Jorge Romero won't be spending much time off the field this year. In 2013, Romero led the Warriors in rushing and receiving while averaging 4.8 tackles a game.
Y is for youngster. Nine years ago at this time, Cody House was suiting up for his senior season at Cholla. Now House, 26, finds himself in charge of Santa Rita's football program.
Z is for zoo. Ironwood Ridge's top-notch student section at football games, labeled the "Nighthawks Nest," is regularly a zoo. It's one of the rowdiest in town, in a good way. That will especially be the case when I-Ridge hosts archrival CDO on Sept. 12.

Losing Two Of Three To Angels Ends Playoff Hopes
BY: John Mamola
Although the percentages of the Tampa Bay Rays making Major League Baseball's postseason is relatively small as opposed to this time last year, their recent play has given them some hope to play in October. The Rays went ended July with a 17-6 record including 9-2 following the all star break to put themselves as close as a game under the .500 mark. However after this past weekend where the Rays dropped two of three to the Los Angeles Angels of Anaheim and trading David Price to Detroit, the doubts are once again creeping in as to if the Rays can make the postseason or not.
FOX Sports MLB columnist Rob Neyer was a guest of WDAE's "The Ron and Ian Show" on Monday and said he believes this past weekend's series against the Angels was the final blow to a disappointing Rays season.
"Yeah it did (end the Rays postseason hopes)," said Neyer. "I think that realistically the Rays were looking at best to fight for the second wild card with another half a dozen teams. You're odds just are so poor at that point and then if you're somehow able to do that, then you enter a one game playoff and have a 50/50 chance of losing that game to either the A's or the Angels. It just wasn't enough to hang your hat on."
For Neyer's take on the return for the Rays in the David Price trade and who is the favorite in the American League, click below.

Today's leg workout was fantastic! Best one in a very long time thanks to all the compound movements I did.
-Ran a moderate 5.6 miles of hills (45min)
- Seated calf raises 2x10 w/ 2 45lb plates; 1x10 with 45+25lb plates
- Front Squat: bar x10, 95x5, 135x5,
155x3 for 2 sets, then 5 reps for 3 sets
I'm not sure why but I got more confident and did sets of 5 after sets of 3 and it felt incredible.
Romanian Deadlift: 135x10 for 3 sets. I really felt the stretch and contraction in my quads and hamstrings, but I could tell I was having a tough time keeping my back straight for these. Felt great on the legs though
Back Squat: 185x5 for 5 sets: Felt great. It felt great and I could really tell when there was temptation to let form degrade but I resisted that and really felt a contraction and use of my asss cheeks to keep that bar going up completely vertically with no lateral movement (lurching forward)
Dumbbell Lunges: set of 10 on each leg holding 25s
Ham Curl: 12-10-8-6-4 with 8 seconds rest \___> These made my legs feel like they were on fire, great feel to end the workout.
Quad Curl: 12-10-8-6-4 with same rest

Constance Dunlap HTML version
7. The Plungers
"They have the most select clientele in the city here."
Constance Dunlap was sitting in the white steamy room of Charmant's Beauty
Shop. Her informant, reclining dreamily in a luxurious wicker chair, bathed in
the perspiring vapor, had evidently taken a fancy to her.
"And no wonder, either; they fix you up so well," she rattled on; then
confidingly, "Now, last night after the show a party of us went to supper and a
dance--and it was in the wee small hours when we broke up. But Madame
here can make you all over again. Floretta," she called to an attendant who
had entered, "if Mr. Warrington calls up on the 'phone, say I'll call him later."
"Yes, Miss Larue."
Constance glanced up quickly as Floretta mentioned the name of the popular
young actress. Stella Larue was a pretty girl on whom the wild dissipation of
the night life of New York was just beginning to show its effects. The name of
Warrington, too, recalled to Constance instantly some gossip she had heard
in Wall Street about the disagreement in the board of directors of the new
Rubber Syndicate and the effort to oust the president whose escapades were
something more than mere whispers of scandal.
This was the woman in the case. Constance looked at Stella now with added
interest as she rose languidly, drew her bathrobe about her superb figure
carelessly in such a way as to show it at best advantage.
"I've had more or less to do with Wall Street myself," observed Constance.
"Oh, have you? Isn't that interesting," cried Stella.
"I hope you're not putting money in Rubber?" queried Constance.
"On the contrary," rippled Stella, then added, "You're going to stay? Let me
tell you something. Have Floretta do your hair. She's the best here. Then
come around to see me in the dormitory if I'm here when you are through,
won't you?"
Constance promised and Stella fluttered away like the pretty butterfly that she
was, leaving Constance to wonder at the natural gravitation of plungers in the
money market toward plungers in the white lights.
Charmant's Beauty Parlor was indeed all its name implied, a temple of the
cult of adornment, the last cry in the effort to satisfy what is more than health,
wealth, and happiness to some women--the fundamental feminine instinct for
Constance had visited the beauty specialist to have an incipient wrinkle
smoothed out. Frankly, it was not vanity. But she had come to realize that her
greatest asset was her personal appearance. Once that had a chance to
work, her native wit and keen ability would carry her to success.
Madame Charmant herself was a tall, dark-skinned, dark-haired, dark- eyed,
well-groomed woman who looked as if she had been stamped from a die for a

Kingsway Garden Mall Shooting: Man Shot By Police In Serious Condition
EDMONTON - Police confronted and shot a bleeding, knife-wielding, agitated man in the parking lot of a downtown Edmonton mall.
An electrician who was working at Kingsway Garden Mall says the man left the mall and approached a woman.
"She offered help and he was really nice to her, polite and everything," said Les, who wouldn't give his last name.
"He was walking away, so she called 911 because of the blood, and the police showed up, five or six of them surrounded him at gunpoint. They gave him orders to drop down to the ground, he didn't obey them. He was just basically evading them."
"He was barefooted, dazed, confused, or whatever you want to call it."
Les said police pepper sprayed the man several times, and when that didn't stop the man, police shot him and the man went down.
"They were giving him orders to drop his weapon, drop down to the ground and he wasn't listening or obeying orders at all," Les said.
Sarah Jackson with the Alberta Serious Incident Response Team says the agency is handling the investigation.
"ASIRT's mandate is to conduct an independent, objective and thorough investigation into this incident, Jackson said.
She urged anyone with information to contact ASIRT.
Kingsway Mall said in a statement that the centre is open and is a safe place to be.
The 31-year-old man was taken to hospital with serious injuries.

In 1846, Charlotte Brontë and her sisters began publishing under assumed gender-ambiguous pen-names because of ""a vague impression that authoresses are liable to be looked on with prejudice.""By 1849, all her siblings had died.

Just a word of advise, and historical fact for all of you who read these NRA posts.
I live in the Peoples Republik of Kalifornia. I have watched my rights get diminished every year since 1988.
I have read a lot of posts from folks who tell me to leave, to move, to write off my state. Give it to the Illegals....
This is an important bill, in an important state. The more of these that pass, the more likely my rights will be restored.
FIGHT FOR YOUR RIGHTS! Your victories will bolster mine.

Oregon looks to tighten reins on service animals
New law would restrict formal service animal label to dogs, horses
BEND, Ore. - A bill that recently passed in the Oregon Senate aims to clarify the definition of a service animal.
The bill's sponsor, Republican Senator Jeff Kruse of Roseburg, says too many people abuse the system claiming their pets are service animals.
Kruse said Wednesday it's hurting people who actually need the animals.
But some animals claimed to be necessary aren't necessarily protected.
Bend resident Jennifer Buntain says her dog saved her life.
The Gulf War Veteran suffers from post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD).
Buntain said she was sexually assaulted while serving in the military. Now she suffers extreme anxiety in public.
"You have to interact with other people when you are out in public," she said. "It's really tough. He (her dog) makes it, where otherwise I wouldn't leave my house."
Her dog, 'Red,' is service dog, helping her with mobility from a knee injury.
He's also an emotional support animal, easing her anxiety.
Red wears two hats, and each job is not the same -- nor protected the same under state or federal law.
The new bill would require that in order to be a service animal, the animal must perform specific tasks for their handlers.
Service animals would also be required to be either dogs or miniature horses.
It's an effort to make Oregon laws conform with federal standards set by the Americans with Disabilities Act. New ADA regulations were approved back in 2011.
Service animals, by law, must be allowed at any establishment where the public is welcome.
Kruse said his bill doesn't set any rules for enforcement of keeping other animals out of public places, but he hopes it will encourage people to keep pets at home.
He said a benefit to the bill is "giving them (businesses) the ability to tell a person who wanted to come into a restaurant with a snake and call it a service animal, and say, 'No, that's not a service animal, and you can't bring it in."'
A snake may be an extreme example. But even emotional support animals and therapy dogs are treated differently than service animals -- a gray area Kruse admits lawmakers didn't want to tackle, at least for now.
"The whole comfort animal thing is really so new, we don't really have a lot of history behind it to really make definitive decisions yet," Kruse said.
Under the Fair Housing Act, emotional support animals must be allowed to live with their owners, and there are also laws allowing them to fly on planes. But the animals do not have to be permitted in businesses, or anywhere else pets aren't allowed.
Therapy dog trainers NewsChannel 21 spoke with say therapy dogs can only be allowed in public places or businesses when they are on official business -- aiding in emergencies or disasters -- helping strangers, not their owners.
However, it would be tough for businesses to enforce, since by law, they're not allowed to ask people what their disability is.
Also, people with disabilities are not required to mark their animals with identification or carry paperwork, although many do.
For Buntain, hearing the news about emotional service animals is heartbreaking.
"To see those people that need so much help not be able to leave their home, I think would be a crime," she said.
It's been a tough road for Buntain and Red -- she was homeless for years -- and when she finally got a place to rent, her landlord, who had a no-pet policy, tried to evict her.
Buntain said her landlord claimed she didn't need the dog.
"(It made me feel) degraded, very small, icky," Buntain said.
Buntain battles the stigma every day, saying people out in public and in businesses don't always understand how much Red helps her lead a normal life.
"Without him, I would be lost," she said.
Kruse said another part of the bill is designed to protect people who purchase service animals. It would require that certified trainers train the dogs, and Kruse says it will help eliminate people who sell service animals for large profits that don't have the proper training.

With over 350 manufacturer-identified nanotechnology consumer products
available for purchase this gift-giving season (see:
http://www.nanotechproject.org/consumerproducts), and with $2.6 trillion in
manufactured goods incorporating nanotechnology expected by 2014, there is
a lot at stake in how these questions are answered.
The results of the first large-scale empirical study of how consumers
consider risks and benefits when deciding whether to purchase or use
specific nanotechnology products will appear in the December 2006 issue of
the journal Nature Nanotechnology. The article's lead author, Steven C.
Currall, University College London and London Business School, and a
co-author, Neal Lane, Rice University's Baker Institute for Public Policy
and former U.S. Presidential Science Advisor, will report their findings at
a program and live webcast on Tuesday, December 5th at 2:00 p.m. in the 5th
Floor Conference Room of the Woodrow Wilson International Center for
Scholars (http://www.wilsoncenter.org/directions). The Nature
Nanotechnology article is embargoed until December 5th at 2 p.m. U.S.
Eastern Time.
At this program sponsored by the Wilson Center's Project on Emerging
Nanotechnologies, the authors will address whether greater popular
awareness and understanding of nanotechnology will whet the public's
appetite for the technology and lead to increased support for research, or
raise concerns about the potential ill effects of new applications. They
will discuss how public perceptions of nanotechnology are being shaped.
They also will compare the experience of the emergence of nanotechnology to
the experience of other "new" technologies, including nuclear power,
genetically modified organisms (GMOs), embryonic stem cell research, and
The study was funded by the National Science Foundation (NSF) through
Rice's Center for Biological and Environmental Nanotechnology and NSF's
Center for Nanotechnology in Society. Surveys were administered by Zogby
Dr. Lane is senior fellow in Science and Technology at Rice
University's Baker Institute and the Malcolm Gillis University Professor at
Rice. While director of NSF (1993-1998) and assistant to the President for
Science & Technology and director of the White House Office of Science and
Technology Policy (1998-2001), Lane played a major role in establishing
America's National Nanotechnology Initiative -- a federal investment to
date of more than $6.5 billion in nanotechnology research and development.
He is a leading proponent of greater citizen-scientist dialogue and public
science education. Dr. Currall, formerly a professor at Rice, is professor
of Enterprise and the Management of Innovation and director of the
Management Studies Centre at University College London. He also is visiting
professor of entrepreneurship and faculty co-director of the Institute of

Blake Butler Reviews Dodie Bellamy, Jon Leon, Tomaž Šalamun for VICE
Over at VICE, Blake Butler has reviewed three books that cause the good reader to reflect momentarily on sex and power. Dodie Bellamy's Cunt-Ups (Tender Buttons, 2001), a cult favorite, if we may encourage the term (and maybe this one's ready for a reprint); Jon Leon's newest, The Malady of the Century (Futurepoem 2011); and, unexpectedly for this gathering, Tomaž Šalamun's On the Tracks of Wild Game, "[o]riginally published in Slovenia in 1979 and just now in new translation from Ugly Duckling Presse," as Butler notes. He writes of the book:
…On the Tracks of Wild Game—in light of the two books above—presents what seems a calmer face, though one supercharged in language with layers of images. The voice here is at once vivid and precise, while leading us into a landscape that seems somehow capable of shifting a few feet. Where so often language is used to simply reflect, Šalamun's is the kind of speaking that invents the world around it as it goes, pulling the parts of things we already know into new configurations. It goes up in the teeth of fascist regimes and god and nature and captivity and enlightenment and food and time and bodies. I best like books that make the saying A picture is worth a thousand words turn on its face, and though that could be true of most any sentence, so many of them feel like they wish they were a picture instead. I don't see how you could take a thousand pictures and get most any of these sentences inside them. They would simply say no.

Tony Woodcock returning to base, Jerome Kaino on the prowl once more - the market is looking brighter for the Blues and All Blacks even if Rene Ranger is slipping the leash.
Throw in the carnival attraction of Benji Marshall and there is already a strong marketing thread for new CEO Michael Redman as he sets about the financial overhaul of the Blues.
Before we get all too warm and fuzzy we should adopt the Emirates Team New Zealand strategy which has also served the All Blacks exceptionally well. It is wise not to get ahead of ourselves.
Remember all the optimistic hoopla about the Highlanders this season and what they weren't going to do to the Super 15 series?
Three wins and a second-to-last finish ahead of the Kings was simply inglorious, especially with 11 All Blacks among the squad. The Highlanders' patterns and structure were messy.
A frontrow of Woodcock, Keven Mealamu and Charlie Faumuina with a backrow of Steven Luatua, Luke Braid and Jerome Kaino offers an encouraging sting on paper.
Kaino has been assessed recently in Auckland and needs six weeks to recover from a partial rupture of a knee ligament but his deal with the Blues should be official soon.
The squad has solid backup too, with Angus Ta'avao, James Parsons, Tom McCartney up front and Peter Saili covering the loosies.
Behind the scrum there are men like Piri Weepu, Francis Saili, Jackson Willison, George Moala, Frank Halai and Charles Piutau to create the venomous enterprise.
The voids are in the middle row and five eighths.
Senior first receiver Chris Noakes is improving after neck surgery, Baden Kerr is lolloping along with Counties' Ranfurly Shield challenges while Marshall is a project for the array of Blues coaches.
Beauden Barrett rebuffed the chance to shift north and none of the kazillion five-eighths in Canterbury want to move.
Nor any of their locks. Dominic Bird opted out last year although former All Black Tom Donnelly might be tempted for a season.
His experience would help replace some of the second row knowledge and expertise which disappeared overseas with former All Blacks Ali Williams and Anthony Boric.
Liaki Moli, Culum Retallick and Ronald Raaymakers remain from this year's roster. Moli has the attributes to make it but the staff want him to garner a sharper match temperament to his athletic skills.
Young lock Patrick Tuipulotu is on the radar for next season but his jaw was broken in two places in Auckland's midweek match with Northland.
His recovery is expected to take several months, much like loose forward Joe Edwards whose shoulder was dislocated in the same match.
Coach John Kirwan has expressed some confidence in finding another lock or two to help but whether that is because he knows about some senior help from somewhere, thinks he can nail a tyro or two or remains wishful thinking, will be revealed in a month or so.
A more immediate All Black disclosure will come in a week with a decision about Richie McCaw's fitness for the last Rugby Championship test with the Springboks.
McCaw and the 28-strong squad board a plane today for a trip via Chile to Argentina and their Mar del Plata test with the Pumas.
The All Black flanker has begun running strongly but is cautious about putting too much load on his injured knee with sharp changes of direction. The medical staff will be able to monitor his training for a week and then make a better judgment about whether he will be fit to play the Springboks.

Rihanna's Diva Demands Disrupt UNICEF Campaign
Rihanna is showing her diva side. The Bajan singer, who appears in a charity public service announcement for UNICEF, has caused a stir with the organization after filming her online advert. According to insiders, the red-haired songstress demanded that the organization re-edit the clip because she was "complaining that she looked heavier than usual."
UNICEF originally reached out to the 'S&M' hit maker to participate in its Celebrity Tap campaign, which sees stars auctioning off bottles of tap water taken from their homes to increase awareness of the global water crisis. After Rih Rih peeped the black-and-white clip, she reportedly asked the editors to re-cut it, delaying the project's launch and costing the organization more than $15,000. However, a spokesperson for UNICEF tells the BoomBox that the U.S. Fund for the organization "did not pay $15,000 for this supposed re-cut nor were we asked to do so."
A UNICEF rep also revealed that nothing of the sort transpired and no further reshoots were done. "We're surprised to hear that," the rep told Page Six. "She was not unhappy. We were very thankful. Rihanna was very collaborative and very participatory. What was shot was what exists now."
The campaign, which has been in existence since 2007, features celebrities including Taylor Swift, Robin Williams, Selena Gomez and more. It has raised $2.5 million since its launch and has helped countries across the world aid their residents.

Virtual Tour: Steamboat Street View
That's right, we are located in downtown Steamboat!
We are right between the Yampa River and Lincoln Avenue - right across from the Old Town Hot Springs, right on the free bus line, and steps away from great dining, shopping and the central "core trail" bike path.
