Cork Rose pruned in late Rose of Tralee gamble
A late gamble has developed on Cork entrant Brid Ryan to be crowned the 2012 Rose of Tralee when the annual lovely girls' contest starts tonight.
Ryan won't appear on stage until near the end of tomorrow night's finale but Paddy Power has already taken evasive action and cut Ryan to 5/2 favourite from 7/1 in their online betting.
Next best is long-time leading fancy Arlene O'Neill from Dublin at 3/1 with Mayo Rose and Taoiseach Enda Kenny's niece Dervla Kenny next best at 8/1.
One slight disadvantage the favourite faces as she tries to add to Cork's three wins in 52 years is that she's a blonde.
And Paddy Power's number crunchers have shown that blondes trail brunettes by a distance in winning the Rose of Tralee.
Tonight, 32 potential winners will try to wrestle the tiara from last year's winner Tara Talbot, Queensland, Australia when the competition starts tonight.

TRAINED NURSES WILL ASK EIGHTH-HOUR DAY, BETTER PAY; Now Work Twelve Hours on Private Cases, Bound by Medieval Tradition, and Soon Wear Out -- Group Nursing Suggested.
TRAINED NURSES want an eight-hour day. Some of them, moreover, want the compensation for nursing increased to $1 an hour. Their disposition to move toward these goals came to light a few days ago, at a meeting of the Alumnae Association of the Thirteenth District of the New York State Nurses' Association.

Dancers writhe between bedposts to the thumping beat of a Lady Gaga anthem, surrounded by patrons on oversized gold sofas sipping whisky cut with green tea. Decadence is the central theme at Shanghai's Phebe 3D, which looks like a psychedelic 21st century Chinese imperial court.
Between the chandeliers and strobe lights, paintings of French aristocrats hang above the packed dance floor. The crush of bodies parts for parades of waiters carrying ice buckets, with champagne and burning sparklers inside.
Welcome to Shanghai's new nightlife, provincial-style.
Phebe 3D is one of several clubs developed by owners from China's hinterlands who are breaking the mould, bringing local flair to a scene once dominated by uber-chic establishments like those in New York, London or Berlin.
Their success is even more impressive in Shanghai, whose residents are known for looking down on people from the rest of China.
At No.88, a concept transported from southern Nanning near the Vietnam border, the decor is Versailles-meets-Jules Verne - chandeliers, stained glass and mahogany walls compete with giant gears, steam pipes and steel fan blades.
"Customers are always surprised the first time they come in. They never thought a bar could look like this," the club's manager, Xue Ye, told AFP.
The quirky style is the vision of a group of singers, dancers and other entertainment veterans from Nanning, who started their first club in their hometown in 2005 and quickly expanded, Xue said.
They will open five new clubs this year around the country for a total of 24 which, in addition to the No.88 brand, operate under the names In, Show, Latte and No.66.
The group opened bars in second- and third-tier cities such as Maoming, Zhuhai and Haikou - little known outside China but home to millions - before tackling Shanghai in 2009.
"When we came to Shanghai our competitors all laughed at us, saying we wouldn't last six months. They thought 'waidiren' could not succeed in the bar industry in Shanghai," Xue said, using the word for people from outside Shanghai.
"There had been many failures."
Xue credits his group's success in Shanghai on its outsider perspective.
"We understood what people from other places want to find in a unfamiliar city: warmth," Xue said.
After the pressure valves and velvet, the other striking characteristic of No.88 is the peppiness of the waiters, who Xue said are encouraged to dance with customers to US R&B and hip hop hits.
Despite the opulence inside, and the Porsches and Ferraris parked outside, students and middle class patrons are crucial.
"We need the atmosphere. Even rich people don't want to drink in a quiet place," Xue said.
Unlike the club scenes in other major Chinese cities which are often built on underground and anti-corporate movements, No.88 and Phebe 3D are all about projecting wealth, said Jake Newby, nightlife editor for Time Out Shanghai.
"The big VIP tables are positioned on raised platforms and you look out over the whole club and you feel like you're a mafioso don, running the whole thing. A waiter walks through the entire club with a bottle of champagne and sparklers and heads are turning, looking in your direction," Newby told AFP.
"They are must-see places. They're fascinating places to take people to."
China is entering a golden age for nightlife, said Huang Xixi, chairman of Phebe 3D in Shanghai.
"Chinese people's taste and consumption patterns are maturing," Huang said.
"People born in the 90s know how to enjoy life. They are very different from their parents' generation."
Launching in Shanghai last year was an important milestone for his club's group, which started in the southeastern shipbuilding city of Fuzhou, he said.
"Shanghai is a very good platform for us to expand because once you've made it in Shanghai, you can move on to the world," Huang said.
The Phebe 3D team recently took over management of the Paramount - a legendary 1930s Art Deco Shanghai dance hall - but Huang declined to talk about the project or further expansion plans.
No.88's Xue was less coy. His company is making a film telling the story of its founders and the clubs they have built.
He said they were "very close" to a deal to open a club in Hong Kong and have their sights set on Taiwan, Macau, Singapore - and after that, Europe.
"We don't want to move too fast," Xue said.Reuse content

Bonneville and Madison counties talk emergency plans
IDAHO FALLS, Idaho - Bonneville and Madison counties are talking about emergency plans after a massive blackout in Eastern Idaho on Wednesday.
Madison County is steps ahead of Bonneville County. The county has a 300-page plan that outlines every step to take in the event of an emergency, including blackouts.
Bonneville County does not have as detailed a plan, unless the blackout lasts for 12 to 24 hours. The county does not have permanent emergency shelters, something Emergency Manager Tom Lenderink said we don't need.
"For a government agency just to own a building that stands for no other use other than sheltering is a very inefficient use of money," said Lenderink.
Right now, the county calls the Red Cross to set up shelters. During the blackout, only one warming center opened in eastern Idaho. It was in Driggs.
"I was in contact with a Red Cross shelter and there hadn't been a demand for an official Red Cross shelter," said Lenderink.
Lenderink's decision to not set up one could have been overridden by the Red Cross, but a manager there said the demand wasn't big enough. Madison County has seen its share of disasters.
Mikel Walker is the assistant chief of the Madison County Fire Department.
"Our elected officials put out the money and resources to make our buildings able to function in blackout and emergency situations," said Walker.
In Bonneville County, the Ammon Fire Department has generator power. The places that opened up to the public Wednesday did it voluntarily. Lenderink said until those places become full, the county will step in.
About 65,000 customers were without power on Wednesday. Rocky Mountain Power officials said there was a circuit breaker out for maintenance and that may have led to the outages.


text: One of the world's oldest known fibers, silk is a natural protein fiber made by silk worms (yep, these are actually caterpillars). The highest quality and most expensive silk is Mulberry silk (which get its name from the all mulberry leaf diet the silk worms eat), and is produced by the Bombyx Mori moth during its caterpillar state. Mulberry silk threads are rounder, smoother, and have a lighter more uniform color than other types of silk. Silk comes in many different textures and is great for both warm and cool climates. And despite silk's delicate appearance, it's very durable and can last a long time if cared for properly. Sunlight, humidity, and heat can actually damage silk garments so it's best to store them in breathable garment bags in cool dim places.

Herbig-Haro object
Astronomers are still not clear what role jets play in the star-formation process or exactly how the star unleashes them. The jets appear to work in concert with magnetic fields. This helps bleed excess angular momentum from infalling material that is swirling rapidly. Once the material slows down it feeds the growing protostar, allowing it to fully condense into a mature star.

Do You Really Know What You Are Saying??
Photo: flickr
Doesn't it drive you crazy when people say something...and its incorrect?
Here are the 3 most common misused sayings:
#1.) "Carpe Diem." It literally means "seize the day," which most people interpret to mean you should forget about the consequences and do what you want, because 'you only live once.'
Which is what the trendy acronym "YOLO" means, in case you didn't know
#2.) "Curiosity Killed the Cat." You probably THINK it means that you shouldn't poke your nose where it doesn't belong, because you'll end up paying for it.
But it actually dates back to the 17th century. And it wasn't originally "curiosity" that killed the cat, it was "care." In "Much Ado About Nothing", Shakespeare wrote that, quote, "CARE killed the cat."
But he didn't mean that CARING for the cat killed it. The word "care" also meant to "worry." So, "worry killed the cat." Meaning that if you constantly stress out about stuff, you'll end up giving yourself a heart attack . . . which we now know is true.
---Got that???
#3.) "A Rolling Stone Gathers No Moss." The mix-up is that most people think it's describing a GOOD thing. Like, if you keep moving and don't settle down, you won't end up old and boring.
But in reality, it was supposed to describe why it's BAD to not settle down.

High Plains Ranch Practicum takes applications for classes in Laramie, Riverton, Kimball
(Laramie, Wyo.) – A national award-winning livestock extension program is again being offered for 2014-2015 beginning in June and ending in January.
The High Plains Ranch Practicum School is an in-depth, ranch management school hosted jointly by University of Nebraska-Lincoln Extension and University of Wyoming Extension.
Classes are in Laramie, Riverton and Kimball, Neb.
"If you have ranched all your life, or if you are new to ranching, this school will teach valuable, necessary skills for running a successful ranch," said UW Extension educator Dallas Mount, an instructor in the program. "Dad taught us how to build a fence and feed a cow, but he didn't teach us how to build a business that generates an economic profit and supports the people who are building the fence and feeding the cow."
Enrollment is limited to 35. Participants must submit an application by May 5.
For additional information or to obtain an application, contact Mount at 307-322-3667 firstname.lastname@example.com, or visit the website at http://HPRanchPracticum.com.
The practicum is an eight-day, four-session, hands-on educational program designed to give participants the skills and application of management tools needed to be successful in today's complex ranching industry, said Mount.
The class is divided between classroom work and hands-on application of the principles learned in the practicum.
The course focuses on providing ranchers tools to understand and integrate four areas of ranch management: range and forage resources, integrating nutrition and reproduction, cost of production analysis and family working relationships.
"Ranchers able to integrate these four areas into decision making will find they can use a systems approach to improve the long-term profitability of the ranch operation," said Aaron Berger, an instructor from UNL-Extension.
Mount said attendees enjoy the camaraderie with other participants, instructors and facilitators throughout the three seasons of the practicum.
"Friendships and exchanges of ideas among participants will be some of the most-valued aspects of the program," he said. "High-quality educational materials are used in the program and include software, notebooks with laminated field guides and an outstanding collection of university publications."
There is a $600 fee for individuals or $900 for a couple that covers materials, instructor costs and meal expenses.
Mount said producer participants completing course requirements can receive a 50-percent tuition scholarship support through aUSDA National Institute of Food and Agriculture Beginning Farmer and Rancher Development Program grant.

Let's start with the most obvious problem: the math.
Meet Mr. Smith, who has four children that he is sending to the private school of his choice. With public funding of private schools, his children will cost the taxpayers an estimated $4,000 for schooling per year. The actual numbers will be negotiated and argued about for years by proponents of school choice, but the concept will not change.
2011 will be one tough year for legislative budget writers in Colorado. To begin, they will face one of the toughest budget years in our state's history. Add to that the fact that split control of the legislature means the Joint Budget Committee will be made up of three Republicans and three Democrats. And if that's not enough of a challenge, the six members of the JBC will have three cumulative years of experience on the budget panel.
Not a scrap of innocence
We'd like to know about interesting events or activities. E-mail items of 125 words or less to firstname.lastname@example.com.
Smartco Foods, a bargain grocery chain that opened five stores in Colorado this year, is closing its Colorado outlets after only three and a half months.
The five stores in the Denver area, including one in Littleton, employ about 100 people. Up to 500 workers in Colorado could be unemployed following the closures, which California-based parent company Smart & Final announced Nov. 15. The decision was made following months of disappointing sales, a news release from the company stated.
The already brief period of public access to Waterton Canyon this winter was cut in half last week, when Denver Water announced a delay in the assembly of dredging equipment.
Construction crews will be working two weeks further into December and for the entire month of February, allowing recreational access to the trail from Dec. 18 through Jan. 30. The previous dates open to the public spanned from Dec. 4 through Feb. 27.
Ken Caryl residents are offering a $1,500 reward for information regarding the October vandalism of a memorial dedicated to United Airlines flight 93 Captain Jason Dahl, who lived in the community with his family.
The memorial, a bronze eagle resting atop a granite block located at Tamarade Drive and Valley Parkway, was found Oct. 14 with the wings broken from the statue. The memorial has since been repaired.
The proposed cuts to the 2011-12 budget for the Jefferson County School District will involve core services, the district's chief financial officer said.
The district is estimating at least $26 million in cuts, and it will mean cutting even more positions than last year.
"We're already stretched pretty thin," said Lorie Gillis, the district's chief financial officer. "This time we're not trimming the edges (of the budget). We will be cutting some services we provide."

SAN FRANCISCO The Food and Drug Administration will decide by Saturday whether or not Genentech's cancer drug Avastin will be approved to fight breast cancer as well, according to the Wall Street Journal.
Members of an agency advisory committee voted 5-4 against approval in December. While the FDA isn't required to follow the panel's recommendations, it usually does. While it does not seem likely an approval will occur based on the committee's vote, new reports have stated that two members of the FDA advisory panel have changed their mind to approving the drug, although the FDA has not and will not comment on these reports.
Genentech is looking for approval based on a study it submitted to the FDA that found that using Avastin in combination with Taxol, a breast-cancer drug made by Bristol-Myers Squibb, delayed the growth of patients' tumors for 11.3 months, 5.5 months longer than Taxol alone. However, despite this, the women on Avastin in the study didn't live significantly longer than those on Taxol, and they experienced more bad side effects, such as high blood pressure, blood clots and bowel perforation. Six deaths were linked to Avastin's toxicity, and none to Taxol's.
A major issue for the FDA advisers was whether slowing cancer for an extra 5.5 months is a benefit that merits market approval. Maha Hussain, an oncologist at the University of Michigan and the chairwoman of the FDA's Oncology Drugs Advisory Committee, voted that such data don't clear the bar. But her fellow panel member, Duke University oncologist Gary Lyman, says a 5.5-month halt in tumor growth is the best response he has seen in patients with metastatic breast cancer. "That translates – during whatever time they have left – into better quality of life," he says.
Genentech is hoping for the approval in order to lift sales of the drug. It had sales of $2.3 billon last year, but the new approval could add an extra $2 billion a year for the company.

Margaret Church arrived at Novant Health Forsyth Medical Center with severe shoulder pain and a high temperature. She needed emergency surgery. Margaret's daughter, Donna Royal, described the day as "a very scary time for mom and for the entire family."
Fears faded as soon as patient transporter Fred Harrell arrived to take Margaret for surgery. He provided "the ray of sunshine" that Margaret and her family needed at that stressful moment. Donna says Fred was so friendly that by the time they arrived at surgery "he had put a smile on all of our faces."
Fred followed his usual approach with this family. He introduced himself, explained what he would be doing and asked his patient and the family members if they needed anything else. He provided Margaret with extra blankets and broke the tension with his genuine smile and a few jokes. He engaged Margaret in a conversation about her recent shopping trip and discovered they shared the same favorite color.
To the family's surprise, Fred returned the next day to transport Margaret for X-rays. "How lucky could we get?" Donna asks. "My mother, who just moments before had been so worried about going for X-rays, was now laughing and talking with Fred."
The family's biggest surprise came when Fred visited Margaret later that day during his lunch break. "It meant so much to her and us," Donna recalls. "Every once in a while, you come across a person who makes you feel better for having met them and Fred Harrell is one of these people."
Fred explains that his actions came naturally. "In every situation, I do my best to treat people with kindness and respect. It's how I was raised, and I'm glad that Novant Health lets me be myself."

Stubbs steps up as Reds win sixth straight
Stubbs steps up as Reds win sixth straight
The center fielder hit a go-ahead, two-run homer in the ninth inning off Cordero, the new Astros closer, to give the Reds their first lead. Xavier Paul, making his first start for the Reds, then added a run with an RBI single and closer Aroldis Chapman shut the door on a 4-2 victory at Minute Maid Park.
Now on a six-game winning streak, the Reds have won 13 of their last 15 games and hold a 2 1/2-game lead in the National League Central.
"We're going to ride this thing for as long as we can and try to hopefully put some space between us and the rest of the division," Stubbs said.
The Reds, who picked up their 24th come-from-behind win, hadn't hit a homer in 28 innings until Stubbs hit his 10th of the season. He lifted the ball down the left-field line into the short porch at Minute Maid Park, bringing home Zack Cozart from first base.
Stubbs, batting .220 before Tuesday's game, didn't expect Cordero to throw a third straight slider after throwing the first two for balls. A 3-for-4 night at the plate, coupled with a timely go-ahead homer, could help Stubbs gain some confidence and cash in on some of the potential he's always shown.
"It's a process," Stubbs said. "It's not an overnight thing. I think you've got to string together a few weeks of that to really get to feeling good. This is a start, and hopefully I can kind of climb back to where I need to be."
Manager Dusty Baker knows Stubbs is better than his numbers show this season.
"It frustrates him, I'm sure, and it frustrates us, too, because we know it's there," Baker said. "I'd love to see him get going. It'd make it a lot easier on him."
Cordero, who had 150 saves for the Reds from 2008-11, said that blowing the save against his former team wasn't the reason why the loss, the Astros' 21st in their last 23 games, stung. The closer felt he wasted a strong outing from Lucas Harrell, who gave up one run over seven innings.
"He threw an unbelievable game and they gave me the chance to get a save and he could get a 'W,' and I didn't [finish it]. I made a mistake and Drew Stubbs hit it out and they won," Cordero said.
The Reds nearly wasted a strong outing from their own starter.
Mike Leake hung a breaking ball to Justin Maxwell in the fourth inning, and he took the pitch into the left-field seats for a two-run homer. Other than that, Leake kept the ball on the ground and in front of his outfielders, recording 13 groundouts and just two flyouts.
Leake went eight innings, spreading seven hits and striking out six. He left the game for pinch-hitter Ryan Ludwick in the ninth with the Reds trailing, 2-1, and earned his fourth win after the Reds' three-run ninth.
"Leaky threw the ball great," Baker said. "He just made one mistake. He hung the breaking ball to Maxwell, but other than that, he was masterful. We tried to stay with him as long as we could."
In his last 13 starts, Leake is 4-1 with a 3.02 ERA.
Chapman was slow to cover first base on a grounder from Chris Johnson to lead off the ninth, allowing Johnson to reach on an infield single. In typical dominant fashion, however, Chapman struck out the next three Astros in order, all with fastballs topping 100 mph, to record his 18th save. In 46 2/3 innings, Chapman has 89 strikeouts, 11 more than Leake.
Paul picked up his first hit with the Reds in the second inning and drove in a run in the sixth with an infield single. He finished the game 3-for-5 with two RBIs.
"Just trying to get him some playing time against the right people and he responded well tonight, especially in front of his home folks who came over from Louisiana," Baker said.
In four pinch-hitting appearances heading into Tuesday, Paul was 0-for-3 with a walk. He spent most of the first half of the season playing every day at Triple-A, most recently with the Reds' team in Louisville.
"Pinch-hitting is tough to do," Paul said. "Every now and then, getting a start here and there, keeps you ready."
Recent results wouldn't suggest that the Reds are missing their most potent hitter, first baseman Joey Votto. With the slugger out of the lineup, the Reds are 7-2.

"We just keep coming back because we have a great time every time we come," said Neyah Bennit of Madison, Conn.
Bennit is referring to Bromley, the southern Vermont ski area founded back in 1936.
"We like the ability to keep track of all of our kids here," Bennit said. "It's sort of centrally located in terms of where all of the trails come to a head."
With all trails winding up in the same base area, a lot of families, like the Bennits, feel comfortable letting their kids ski together.
On many days, the sun also adds to the comfort levels.
"We are the only major area in Vermont that faces the sun. And what we have is the sun all day, even at 4 o'clock," said Bill Cairns, the president of Bromley.
The Bennit children appreciate the sun, among other things. They also point to smooth trails, lots of powder and the moguls.
With 46 trails Bromley is not the biggest resort in the area, but skiers tell us there's no shortage of variety.
"You have a variation of difficulty from pretty tough stuff, wood skiing, bumps, to nice, gentle groomers. But you really feel like you're in a New England area," said Chris Jenne of Huntington, N.Y.
Despite recent weather challenges, many of the trails are in great shape.
Moving around just a little bit you can hear that snow squeak. That's music to a lot of skiers ears and it means those conditions are really good right now.
"Today? Outstanding. Like it's just I've been here all week and they keep getting better and better and better," Jenne said.
"It's a little cold but the snow is just fabulous, the snow is just fabulous. They've got a lot of great snow cover on all of the trails," said Sarah Alley of Bedford, N.Y.
With another storm system impacting us through the late week, fresh snow will make conditions even better.
"The powder is gonna be amazing and the rest of the mountain will really open up," Alley said.
The combination of fresh powder and dropping ropes means skiers may come out in full force by this weekend.

An opinion of Reality from a different perspective.<quoted text>You may be cheering on Honey Boo Boo or are waiting for Kim Kardashians baby to be born but it doesn't mean I or those I know are. I am fully engaged in this political battle and have more faith in this country and our Constitution than you do. The voters determine who the President is. You and a half dozen more drank the kool-aid and got all caught up in that nutty Ron Paul and basically flushed your vote down the toilet but hey that's what's so great about this country, you can do silly things and not be punished for it. Or maybe you can be punished for it with the election of Obama, interesting!
"The deficit is shrinking, and regardless if it was growing, it doesnt hamper business, or job creation, or affect day to day Americans lives or their economic freedom. However, in their drive to cut spending to shrink government teabaggers support killing jobs that does affect every American with loss of services as well as revenue that starves government which is men like the Koch brothers goal because less government means fewer regulations and more opportunities to step in and privatize government services like education for a profit. The billionaire Kochs are joined in their drive to starve and privatize the government by the Republican Party, and billionaire corporate CEOs and their campaign to Fix the Debt with their message that America faces an existential debt crisis that must be solved immediately regardless their profits are unaffected by the nations debt or spending"

Over 100 years Oris has been making watches in Switzerland. The Oris watch factory was founded by Paul Cattin and Georges Christian at Hölstein (Basel-Country) in 1904. Distinction through design has produced cutting edge style that remains affordable and functional. Combining technical advances with popularity, ORIS watches are inspired by leaders in Aviation, Diving, Formula 1 and Jazz.
Oris is famous for more than the great workings of their watches and clocks. The stars are wearing these classically beautiful Oris watches in movies, and looking even better for it: Harrison Ford in "Random Hearts", Tommy Lee Jones in "Batman Forever", Keanu Reeves in "Constantine", Nicolas Cage in "Eight Millimeter", Matthew McConaughey in "A Time To Kill", Julianne Moore in "Magnolia", Meg Ryan in "Kate and Leopold", and Gwyneth Paltrow in "Bounce" are just some of the many examples.
More than movie stars love Oris watches. Some of music's greatest performers have inspired a line of Jazz-themed watches. Frank Sinatra, Duke Ellington, Miles Davis, Louis Armstrong, Charlie Parker, McCoy Tynor, Lionel Hampton, and John McLaughlin have all made extraordinary contributions to music. Now, each one of them is honored with a signature design in the Limited Edition Oris Jazz Series.

The President's Pen is a weekly blog written by Jonathan Smith, New Vision's President and CEO about local economic development projects and initiatives. It also covers economic trends, workforce issues, business climate policies, and manufacturing news.
We were delighted to be part of Paragon Film's announcement that they will locate a new manufacturing facility in Union Gap. The company, based in Oklahoma, produces plastic stretch film that is used to stabilize and secure shipping pallets. Mike Baab, Paragon's President and CEO, states "We are very pleased to announce our plans to locate a new production facility in Union Gap, Washington. We look forward to becoming a part of the Union Gap community."
Paragon Films purchased an existing warehouse building between Rankin Equipment and Magic Metals. The company will take about four months to install equipment and make building modifications needed to support their new operation. Paragon plans to hire 15-20 people initially and grow their workforce to approximately 50 over the next couple years. Alex Jech has been selected as plant manager for the Union Gap facility and he is in the process of moving his family to Yakima.
While it is great news that Paragon is investing in our region their project reminds us how competitive it is to land new business facilities. The company discovered Yakima by searching for existing buildings on the internet. Paragon looked at buildings in Washington, Oregon and Nevada. Our organization got involved when local realtors Mike Abrams and Russ Roberts contacted us regarding a manufacturing company looking at a building in Terrace Heights. When we met with the company we learned they were searching all over the West Coast but that they were particularly interested in the Yakima option. Paragon's Chief Operating Officer Rolly Cochlin explained that the company needed to develop a facility quickly and needed help to get permitting and development issues resolved.
We immediately started helping Paragon on required permits and this was challenging. The company had not developed a new facility in over a decade and our permitting requirements were overwhelming at first. By helping them connect with regulatory agencies and getting them some consulting help we were able to align permit timelines with their overall development process.
A new challenge erupted when Paragon discovered issues in the candidate building. The company decided not to purchase this facility and left town suggesting they would start the search all over. We quickly provided them another building option and worked to get them back to Yakima. When company officials returned a week or two later to look at a building in Union Gap we learned that they had revisited several buildings in Oregon and Nevada.
Thankfully the building in Union Gap met their requirements. Cochlin told us they had an offer in on a building in Nevada should the Union Gap option not work. Even though the Union Gap building worked there were several issues that needed favorable resolution before Paragon felt comfortable inking the deal. The company needed to develop a rail spur to the facility. We worked to connect Paragon with Garry Griggs who owned a key section of property needed for the rail spur. The company was ultimately able to secure the land they needed to construct a rail siding. Paragon also needed to beef up power to the building. The facility was designed as a warehouse and did not have enough electric capacity to support Paragon's equipment. We got Pacific Power to jump in and help and they were able to assure the company that more power could be brought to the building on a timely cost effective basis. The final hurdle surrounded permitting. Paragon worked closely with Union Gap to secure necessary permits and the City did a great job of getting them through these processes quickly.
As you can see we had to knock out a number of hurdles that stood between Paragon and a favorable decision to locate their new facility in Yakima County. Thanks to a strong team effort we were able to get Paragon to cement its decision to develop their third plant in Union Gap. Our hats are off to Mike and Russ with Heritage Moultray Realtors, to Dave Spurlock with Union Gap, to Tim Kelly at Central Washington Railroad, and to Clark Satre and his team at Pacific Power. By working together we succeeded in bring new investment and jobs to our community.

Report: 1 Million iPad 2's Sold During Launch Weekend
Mark Kurlyandchik
March 14, 2011 2:16 PM
Recipient E-mail
Sender E-mail
Sells ten times faster than the original iPad
According to
, Apple's iPad 2 sold one million units in its launch weekend, surpassing the milestone almost 10 times as fast as its predecessor.
The iPad 2
went on sale last Friday at Apple, Verizon, and AT&T stores, as well as Target, Wal-Mart, and Best Buy. Large crowds
were reported
across the United States, with more than 500 people queued up at Apple's flagship San Francisco store and roughly another 800 at its Manhattan location. The crowds even attracted gawkers.
"Our field checks over the weekend indicate that the iPad 2 sold out at every Apple and non-Apple store we contacted," Ticonderoga Securities analyst Brian White wrote in a research note. "In fact, all the stores had worked through iPad 2 inventory by Saturday afternoon, and there were no new iPad 2 deliveries on Sunday."
White told
that the iPad 2 could potentially have sold one million units in its first weekend, a feat that took 28 days for the original when it hit the market last year. Wedbush Securities analyst Scott Sutherland echoed White's prediction.
With the launch, Apple appears to have secured its number one spot in the tablet market for the time being,
cooling the momentum
that tablets from other manufacturers
such as Motorola
and Samsung were beginning to gain.
Apple is expected to retain 61 percent of
the lucrative tablet market
for 2011, according J.P. Morgan analyst Mark Moscowitz. According to Moscowitz, other companies will have trouble attracting customers the way Apple has.
The iPad 2 is set to launch worldwide on March 25.
"A politician stumbles over himself... Then they pick it out. They edit it. He runs the clip, and then he makes a funny face, and the whole audience has a Pavlovian response." -- Joe Scarborough on John Stewart over Jim Cramer

From UWBadgers.com: http://www.uwbadgers.com/facilities/camp-randall-history.html
excerpt taken from:
"The Buildings of the University of Wisconsin"
By: Jim Feldman
Published by: University of Wisconsin Archives
In the earliest days of the State of Wisconsin the 50-acre site bounded by University Avenue, Breese Terrace, Monroe and North Randall Streets, was owned by the State Agricultural Society. The early state fairs were held there with the race track and fairgrounds in the approximate location of the modern stadium's football field. With the outbreak of the Civil War the Agricultural Society offered the property to the state as a training center for troops. By May 1, 1861, soldiers began to move in. The camp was named for Alexander W. Randall, the state's first wartime governor.
The first winter saw 9,000 troops quartered at Camp Randall, and eventually 70,000 of the state's 91, 327 troops trained there at one time or another. In 1862, 1400 sick and wounded Confederate troops captured at Island 10 in the Mississippi and at Shiloh were held at Camp Randall. Many of these southern soldiers died of their wounds and are buried in a cemetery on Madison's west side in an area known as "soldier's rest", the northernmost confederate cemetery in the United States.
There was then a plan made for the land to be plotted and sold for building lots, but the outrage of the war veterans against this "sordid sacrilege" led the state legislature to purchase the property form the owners, a group of Madison businessmen led by R.M. Bashford, for $25,000 on April 19, 1893. In his testimony before the legislative committee regarding the property General Lucius Fairchild is reported to have said: "Gentlemen there is the property; the university needs it; the price is cheap; if you don't buy it, I will." The legislature then presented the property to the university.
In 1913 the memorial park was defined by the legislature to include the 6.5 acre parcel at the east entrance of the camp. The memorial park section is still under the control of the university. The memorial arch was built by the state in 1911 at a cost of about $25,000 and the cannons were mounted in 1913. Soldiers were again quartered and trained at Camp Randall during WWI and the WAVES in WWII trained there.
Shortly after it was acquired by the university Camp Randall was put to use for athletics, at first only for track and field events, since baseball and football games were still being played on the lower campus, with spectators lining up in buggies on Langdon Street. The increasing attendance and the associated dangers (there were reports of baseballs entering street cars) at these athletic events caused the university to build a stadium at the northeast corner of Camp Randall the site of the old fairgrounds.
A soldier's veteran group wrote a petition to the regents that the name always remain Camp Randall, complaining that no-one would consider renaming Bunker Hill "Bunker Field". Their request was granted and only the occasional visiting sportscaster refers to 'Randall Field' and is quickly corrected.
This stadium was first used in 1895 when the Badgers defeated the Gophers of Minnesota 6-0. The bleachers were wooden and with the heavy use (capacity was about 3000) were difficult to maintain. The grandstand section had rooms underneath it for lockers, toilets, and showers. In the fall of 1914 the entire bleacher section on the north side of the field was condemned as unsafe for use. They were torn down and the practice began of renting temporary bleacher seating for the east, west and north sides of the field. Although the total seating capacity of the stadium was about 3,000 the Daily Cardinal reports that as many as 15,000 attended games, standing in crowds surrounding the field.
Peabody, athletic director George W. Ehler and the regents began planning the stadium in 1908 about the time the old stadium was becoming unsafe. Petitions to the legislature for funds were not answered until 1915 when the state granted $20,000 of a $40,000 request for a new stadium. The work of preparing the site for the new stadium was begun in mid-1915. Work was slow due to hard weather, and war related material problems. The hope that the new stadium would be available in the 1916 season slipped away. Then something happened.
The homecoming game against Minnesota on November 20, 1915 was attended by a reported 15,000 spectators. A large percentage of these fans were crowded into the rented and recently erected temporary bleachers. About a minute into the second quarter of the game, a loud cracking sound was heard form the vicinity of the west bleachers and three one-hundred foot sections of the bleacher containing 1,800 people collapsed. Surprisingly there were almost no serious injuries, although there were a quantity of minor ones, and rumors of students near death. The game was only interrupted for about fifteen minutes, after which the Badgers were beaten 21-0. Famed sportswriter Ring Lardner was at the game and wrote a typically breathless article for the Cardinal in which he reported: "They was about 1,000 or maybe five thousand people in one of the cheering stands and all of a sudden it caved in somewhere and all the people was thrown on the ground. Some of 'em was hurt pretty bad too.."
An inquiry into the accident by the state and university architects and engineers exonerated almost everybody, placing the bulk of the blame on ground recently saturated by rain and subjected to a freeze-thaw cycle. The stakes at the front of the bleachers began to move forward under their load until some rear supports pulled out and gave way, thus allowing the structure to collapse. President Van Hise told the Cardinal "We have been afraid something like this might happen ever since a stand gave way in Chicago....we have been for years urging a concrete stadium at Camp Randall, but it was just cut out of the bill offered on the floor of the senate. Today's accident shows how imperative is the need." The 1915 legislature's $20,000 appropriation, the accident, and $2300 in donations from alumni and students accelerated the construction of the new stadium.
The plan placed the new field just east of a forty foot hill that sloped away from Breese Terrace near Monroe Street. The new concrete bleachers would be built directly into the east side of that hill. Since there would be no space under the west stands it was assumed that locker rooms and facilities would wait until the construction of an east grandstand which was not an explicit part of the original plan. It was estimated that the hillside capacity was 10,000 seats, not all that were needed but all that could be afforded. The new stadium was ready for use in time for the opening home game of 1917. The top row (of 40) was twenty feet below Breese Terrace. The seats stretched 400 feet along the hill.
The first game played at the new field was October 6, 1917 against Beloit, with the Badgers winning 34-0, attendance was reported at 2000. The stadium was not officially dedicated until November 3, 1917 at homecoming against Minnesota. The Badgers won in front of 10,000 fans at the new stadium. The legislature of 1917 had appropriated another $10,.000. Because only 7500 of the hillside seats were finished in time for the start of the season, and partly to provide dressing facilities, the grandstand section was moved from the south side of the old field to the east side of the new field, adding another 3000 seats. The ground on the east side of the field was filled and several years were thought to be needed for it to stabilize before it would be safe to build concrete seats upon. This configuration of 7500 concrete hillside seats and 3000 old wooden seats from the old field was used and added to piecemeal (in 1921, 4000 concrete seats were added for $ 24, 872) for about seven years.
On June 8, 1922 after an rain-soaked fraternity game at the field, a student living on Breese Terrace called the fire department and reported seeing flames at Camp Randall. By the time the fire department arrived the old wood grandstand was engulfed in flames, and far beyond saving. No certain cause of the blaze was ever determined, it was variously blamed on arson, a cigarette, town kids, et.al. Ironically the building had been sold the previous day to a salvage man. Thus passed the last remnants of the old stadium where played the earliest greats of the Badger football program, fabled "kangaroo" kicker Pat O'Dea, J.F.A. "Sunny" Pyre, "Norsky" Larsen another member of the conference champion teams of 1901 and 1912.
In July of 1923 work was under way on concrete bleachers for the east side of the field that would add 5000 more seats to the stadium (Arthur Peabody's design). The temporary north bleachers were replaced with concrete in 1923 also. By 1924 the capacity of the stadium was listed as 33,000. For the next fifteen years the bowl-shaped stadium grew bit by bit as money became available from the legislature or from gate receipts. In 1940 an addition was built that completed the original bowl. It now wrapped around the field on three sides, with the field house filling in the south end, which had originally been left open to alleviate the ventilation problems that early stadia of this type exhibited. It had a capacity of 45,000 and utilized some temporary bleachers on the northwest and southwest corners.
An interesting aspect of the Camp Randall stadium was the inclusion of the stadium dormitories. In the period around 1940 housing for students and military personnel was a distinct problem in Madison, and the regents sought innovative ways to alleviate the problem. The '1940' addition (designed by the state Bureau of Engineering) which was actually begun November 1939, added 7500 seats on the east side and built the dormitory under the east side seats. The outside wall was sheathed with Madison sandstone (for which a local quarry had to be temporarily reopened), and in addition to the dormitory for 150 men, there were boxing and wrestling quarters, and a rifle range. The work on the 1940 addition to the stadium was done by the WPA (Works Progress Administration) a depression era federal program.
The dormitories were named the Schreiner and Baumann houses after two UW students who were killed at Okinawa. These dorms were occupied initially by naval trainees. After the war the dorms were home to 157 student veterans. The stadium dorms did not have kitchen facilities and so were cheaper than the regular dorms ($145-160/year in 1950). As dormitories they always operated at a loss because of various factors mostly regarding scale and poor utilization of space. In 1951 the regents announced their decision to close the stadium dorms, and suggested that the next dorms built on campus should be named for Schreiner and Baumann. In 1954 the rooms were converted to offices for the extension department. Later they became offices for the athletic and military departments.
In 1950 plans (By Ebling, Plunkett & Keyman of Milwaukee) were announced to expand the stadium to hold 50,000 using revenue form athletic events. The expansion was done by raising the bleachers in the north end to the same height as the main east and west sections, and by replacing the temporary seats with permanent ones. The .B. Fritz Co. was awarded the contract, and began work in May 1950. The total cost of this expansion was $569,000. Complaints had been made about spectators getting splinters from the old wood seats. The work was delayed because of postwar material shortages and a severe winter in 1950. The job was not completed until September of 1951. Even with the expansion Camp Randall stadium was one of the smallest in the Big 10.
Attendance at the newly enlarged stadium averaged over 50,000 during the seasons of 1952 and 1953. Calls for further expansion were immediately raised. In 1954 the regents authorized a study of methods for adding seats. Three methods were investigated: building more rows on top of the existing seats, filling in the south end of bowl behind the field house, and lowering the field; that is going up, going out or going down. In 1957 the regents announced that they would lower the field by ten feet, thereby adding 10,000 new seats and many of them between the goal lines. This would eliminate the running track which had always surrounded the field, but the newly built Memorial practice building and plans for a new gymnasium eliminated this drawback. The work was begun in mid November of 1957, with a projected cost of $ 482,000. By July 1958 the expansion was in the finishing stages. The capacity had risen to 63710. The area between the bleachers and the field was blacktopped during this expansion.
The stadium proved adequate through the late 1950s and early 1960s, but a few successful seasons boosted attendance again and in 1964 the regents decided to expand again. This time they decided to go up. The plan (by Osborne Engineering of Cleveland OH) was to add a second deck on the west side of the stadium, and to include a two story press box, which would free up more seats in the bleachers. This addition was completed in time for the 1965 season and brought the stadium to its current (1993) capacity of 75,935. The promise of the Barry Alvarez era, the 1993 Rose Bowl season, and the stampede in the overcrowded student sections at the Michigan game of that year raised questions about the size and safety of the stadium. There may be additional enlargement in the future, probably by adding seats at the south end near the field house, or building an upper deck on the east side.

word to said and kill fred, if you dont know, dont try..your not ready.
no he did'nt, he just got caught
yo he fell off the sign onto a car
dicks everywhere!
Witnesses say he fell onto the interstate near the Main Street off-ramp with a can of spray paint in his hands.
A man apparently spray painting graffiti on an overpass fell Saturday night onto the 5 Freeway in East Los Angeles, authorities said.
Several motorists told authorities that the man had possibly broken his back at about 9:45 p.m. and had a can of spray paint clutched in his hands as he lay on the freeway near the Main Street off-ramp, said California Highway Patrol spokesman David Porter. Porter said the man was taken to a nearby hospital where he was being treated.
The accident comes about three weeks after prolific tagger Cyrus Yazdani — who goes by the moniker "Buket" — was arrested for causing hundreds of thousands of dollars in property damage.
Yazdani is perhaps most recognized for a YouTube video that shows him climbing and spray painting behind the Hollywood Freeway sign near Melrose Avenue as traffic speeds below.
oh i was thinking of something else.so he got busted twice?my bad.the news cast said he turned himself in hahaha.whatever.didnt hear about this but still i told you something would happen....hope hes not paralyzed...

All you have to do is walk around a spot during daytime and look for a chill place to climb up, 8/10 times you'll find an easy way up.

ayyy latest news on buket
The graffiti artist who gained notoriety on YouTube with his daredevil tagging exploits pleaded guilty today to nearly three dozen felony vandalism counts and was released from jail after serving time since last May, prosecutors said.
Cyrus Yazdani, one of Los Angeles' most prolific taggers, who is known in the tagging world as "Buket," admitted to 32 counts with the special allegation that damage exceeded $50,000.
Judge Steven J. Kleinfield sentenced the 25-year-old San Jose State graduate to 10 months in county jail, 256 hours of graffiti removal and five years formal probation.
But with time served and credits for work and good behavior, Yazdani was out of jail by Monday afternoon.
Yazdani became something of an Internet sensation when he brazenly plastered his "Buket" bomb 20 feet above the busy Hollywood Freeway -- vandalism captured on videotape and posted with a rap soundtrack on YouTube and numerous tagger-related blogs.
Another daylight attack, which was also videotaped, appeared to show "Buket" applying his moniker to a Metropolitan Transportation Authority bus as passersby and passengers watched in surprise.
Authorities allege that between 2005 and 2007, Yazdani slapped his tags on buses, freeway walls and overpasses as well as the concrete lining of the Los Angeles River.
Los Angeles County sheriff's investigators arrested Yazdani in May, saying that his moniker has marked hundreds of freeway overpasses, concrete walls and transit buses across the state and southern Nevada.
He was believed responsible for upward of $150,000 in property damage along the Los Angeles River and in the areas patrolled by the Los Angeles County Sheriff's Department -- and at least as much in other parts of California.
Yazdani, who split time between Los Angeles and Las Vegas, where he was a graphic designer, already had been on probation after pleading no contest in 2007 to three counts of felony vandalism.
Prosecutors had been seeking state prison time in the case, said Los Angeles County district attorney's spokeswoman Sandi Gibbons.
"We objected to the jail sentence believing this is a very serious case that caused a lot of damage, and we asked for a state prison sentence," Gibbons said.
"If the defendant is involved in this type of activity again, that's exactly where he will end up," she said.

Ballot measures would slash school funding in Routt County
May 2, 2010
At a glance
The measures and affects on schools:
■ Proposition 101 would reduce taxes and fees, mostly vehicle fees called "specific ownership taxes" that help fund school districts.
■ Amendment 60 would impose stricter limits on property taxes and require school districts to cut their mill levies in half by 2020.
■ Amendment 61 would limit local school districts from borrowing money and operating in debt, and the interest-free loan program would end.
DECIDE moves forward
A ballot measure to give legislators the discretion to raise taxes to fund education cleared another hurdle last week.
The Senate Education Committee by a 5-3 vote on Thursday approved DECIDE, or Decide: Education Cuts or Invest in our Democracy and Economy, a measure proposed by the Great Futures Colorado coalition, a group created by Great Education Colorado.
Great Education Colorado is a nonpartisan advocacy group for the state's schools.
The House Education Committee previously approved DECIDE by an 8-4 vote.
Because it's a "referred measure," the Colorado House and Senate would have to approve it by a two-thirds majority.
The measure will go next to the Senate Finance Committee, said Liane Morrison, executive director of Great Education Colorado.
Steamboat Springs — Consider this: Revenue for Routt County school districts from specific ownership taxes would dwindle from $1.7 million in 2009 to $22,791 with full implementation of Proposition 101. If you're a registered Colorado voter and plan to cast a ballot in November, you will.
In addition to deciding on Proposition 101, voters will be asked to weigh in on Amendments 60 and 61.
Amendment 60 would force districts to slash their mill levies in half by 2020 and repeal voter-approved tax increases, such as mill levy overrides. Amendment 61 would place strict limitations on state and local governments' ability to borrow money and incur debt.
All three petition-led initiatives are aimed at decreasing taxes and reducing government spending.
The ballot measures come at a time when public K-12 education statewide has been cut by $260 million to help address the state's 2010-11 fiscal year budget shortfall. Education officials expect state cuts to continue for the next two years.
The Steamboat Springs School District next year expects to have to cut about $2 million, or 7.5 percent, from its budget. It cut half a million this year and estimates that it will have to cut an additional million each in 2011-12 and 2012-13.
School Board member Brian Kelly, who is monitoring what's happening in Denver, estimated that the three ballot measures would cost the district about half of its operating revenue, and that doesn't include future cuts from the state.
About 83 percent of the revenue for the district's 2010-11 projected budget comes from property taxes, mill levy overrides and specific ownership taxes. Each of the three sources would be significantly reduced, or eliminated, with the passage of Proposition 101 and Amendment 60.
"I don't know how you would operate the district as we know it under those budget constraints," Kelly said.
The numbers
Denver-based nonprofit The Bell Policy Center, which researches initiatives that affect Colorado residents, has estimated that full implementation of Proposition 101 would cost the state more than $2.3 billion in lost revenue, which includes about $622 million for local governments and school districts.
Bruce Caughey, deputy executive director of the Colorado Association of School Executives, said all three measures could cost the state $4 billion in revenue. He said it's important to consider schools because 48 percent of the state's budget funds K-12 and higher education.
"We've experienced a statewide reduction this year in K-12 education funding," he said. "If these measures pass, they will be devastating for education funding in Colorado. … We think that's short-sighted to consider these measures, especially in these economic times."
Based on preliminary calculations, Caughey said passage of the three ballot measures would result in 5,000 to 7,000 teachers getting laid off statewide, class sizes increasing and school closings.
At its last legislative meeting, Caughey said, CASE took a position to oppose all three measures.
The Bell Policy Center has started researching how Proposition 101 would affect each county in the state and last week completed an evaluation of Routt County.
According to Bell, the average cost last year to register a vehicle in the county was $91.35. Under Proposition 101, it would cost $1 for used vehicles and $2 for new vehicles.
Routt County generated about $3.08 million from specific ownership taxes, or vehicle registration taxes, in 2009. Under full implementation of Proposition 101, which would take four years, the revenue generated by the county in 2009 would decrease to $40,409 — a 98.7 percent reduction.
"That's not me, the think tank guy, estimating that," said Bell Communications Director Joe Watt, who is researching the impact of Proposition 101 for each county. "That's a pure and simple math calculation."
Schools, which receive the most revenue from specific ownership taxes, more than 56 percent, would be the biggest losers.
Specifically, Steamboat's per-pupil revenue from specific ownership taxes would decrease from $665 in 2009 to $8.74 if voters approved Proposition 101.
Caughey added that the public school finance formula determines the state funding share, or equalization, based on what isn't generated by local property taxes and other sources of local revenue.
"How is the state going to do that with so much less money?" he asked. "I just don't see how it's going to happen."
The next steps
Caughey said a big part of what the Colorado Association of School Executives does until November would be educating its members about the impacts of Proposition 101 and Amendments 60 and 61. He said it's important to reach out to school leaders and members of communities to inform them about the measures so people "don't go blindly forward and vote 'yes.'"
Routt County Finance Director Dan Strnad said he has begun discussing with commissioners how the three ballot measures would affect the county. According to the Bell study, Proposition 101 would reduce county revenue from specific ownership taxes from nearly $849,000 in 2009 to $11,153.
Proposition 101 also would slash revenues from specific ownership taxes for entities such as libraries, fire districts, water districts, towns and medical centers.
Commissioner Nancy Stahoviak said that information would be used to help the county educate residents.
School District Finance Director Dale Mellor is scheduled to give a presentation about the ballot measures to the Steamboat Springs School Board on Monday night.
Kelly said he hopes Colorado voters consider the impact to school districts when they vote in November.
"I know times are tough, but I hope the citizens of the state have enough sense to not devastate the budgets of the school districts," Kelly said.

Brazil Real Declines as Budget Deficit, Fed Concern Sink Demand
The real fell to a two-month low on concern Brazil isn't doing enough to curb its budget deficit and as speculation mounted that the Federal Reserve will begin curtailing stimulus.
The currency dropped 0.3 percent to 2.3133 per dollar at the close in Sao Paulo, sliding to the lowest level since Sept. 5 and extending its weekly decline to 2.6 percent. Local bonds fell, pushing yields on debt maturing in 2023 up nine basis points, or 0.09 percentage point, to 12.43 percent, the highest since the securities were sold in March 2012. The yields climbed 55 basis points for the week.
The budget deficit swelled in September to the largest since 2009, prompting plans by the government to eliminate tax breaks on consumer goods to shore up public finances. Standard & Poor's may lower the nation's rating sooner if the government allows more fiscal deterioration, Regina Nunes, managing director in Brazil at the company, said in an interview.
"The fiscal problem is generating a lot of doubts," Alfredo Barbutti, an economist at BGC Liquidez DTVM in Sao Paulo, said in a telephone interview. "And the focus is also on what the Fed will do."
The real has tumbled since Oct. 31, when the government reported that the budget deficit increased in September to 3.3 percent of gross domestic product, the largest in four years.
Brazil needs to focus exclusively on fiscal issues and investment as S&P evaluates the nation's BBB credit rating over the next 24 months, Nunes said in the interview.
Ratings Outlooks
S&P and Moody's Investors Service lowered their outlooks this year on Brazil's rating, which both companies put at two levels above junk.
The government will eliminate tax breaks on consumer goods and end a program to stimulate exports to curb deficits, Treasury Secretary Arno Augustin said yesterday.
"We are used to dealing with the markets' complexity and moods," Augustin said at his office in Brasilia. The government must "react with calm, seek to inform and undo possible misunderstanding and continue with the policies it believes will deal with the negative circumstances."
The central bank auctioned $1 billion of credit lines today as part of a $60 billion intervention announced Aug. 22 to support the currency and curb import price increases. Brazil may extend the program beyond December, Carlos Hamilton, the central bank's economic policy director, said this week.
Traders added to speculation that the Fed will reduce asset purchases supporting the economy after a report showed U.S. employers added more jobs than forecast in October.
Payrolls in the U.S. increased by 204,000, following a revised 163,000 gain in September that was larger than initially estimated, Labor Department figures showed today in Washington. The median forecast of 91 economists surveyed by Bloomberg called for a 120,000 advance.
Swap rates on the contract maturing in January 2016 climbed six basis points to 11.80 percent today, extending their increase this week to 38 basis points.

BREAKING: NYC Taxi Commission Approves Plan for Outer Borough Street Hails
The New York Taxi and Limousine Commission voted 7-2 to approve a new plan for outer-borough livery drivers — the last major hurdle before the city can start issuing new licenses so livery drivers can pick up street hails outside of Manhattan.
It was a raucous public hearing ahead of the TLC's vote. Two yellow cab drivers were ejected for shouting. One owner called it "the biggest taking of property ever by New York City."
The topic of street hails is a hot-button issue for some in the yellow cab industry, which filed a suit to block the proposed plan on Wednesday.
The plan would allow 18,000 livery drivers who purchase the new street hail permits to pick up street hails in the outer boroughs and parts of upper Manhattan.
The first 6,000 street hail licenses are scheduled to be sold in June.
