Right-wing slant for free in DC's new daily paper, the Washington Examiner
On February 1, a free daily tabloid arrived on newsstands and in mailboxes in the Washington, DC area: the Washington Examiner. The new paper is owned by Denver billionaire Philip F. Anschutz, an Evangelical Presbyterian who has bankrolled numerous ultra-conservative causes and has donated at least half a million dollars to Republican committees and political candidates. The Examiner's first three editorials all took hardline conservative positions.
The February 1 edition of the paper featured an editorial trumpeting President Bush's foreign policy, titled "Hope blossoms where Bush plants democracy." It featured glowing reviews of Bush's inaugural address, stating that he "spoke with such eloquence of America's role in spreading liberty and democracy." It went on to laud Bush's leadership as more successful than that of past foreign policy officials including James Baker, Madeleine Albright and Henry Kissinger, stating: "Today there's a better chance of peace in the Middle East than the wise men of foreign policy achieved in their decades at the helm."
The lead editorial in the February 2 edition, titled "Social Security robs future to pay for past," [1] touted the Bush administration's plans to privatize Social Security, making misleading blanket statements that retirees stand to gain far more by investing their Social Security taxes in the stock market than by paying them into the Social Security system. As Media Matters for America has noted [2], many economists believe that Bush's proposed private investment accounts will increase retirees' exposure to risk without producing a better rate of return than the current system. Further, the editorial criticized Social Security as an inherently flawed system and took shots at former President Franklin Roosevelt, calling the New Deal -- of which Social Security is a part -- an example of political opportunism.
The second February 2 editorial, "Abortion isn't a game, so stop playing," [3] criticized Democrats and Planned Parenthood for opposing a bill in the Virginia legislature submitted by delegate John S. "Jack" Reid (R-72nd district) that would put greater restrictions on state abortion clinics. The Examiner explained that the bill (HB 2784 [4]) proposes raising safety standards for abortion clinics and asked, "Who could possibly be against that?" The editorial continued: "the proposal got a 'thumbs down' from Planned Parenthood, a group that should be squarely behind efforts to make abortions safer." The Examiner did note that "opponents claim Reid's bill is a thinly disguised attempt to shutter abortion facilities by requiring expensive renovations." But the paper failed to note that the Virginia Department of Health also opposes the bill because, as a department representative told the Potomac News [5], it would place "undue, burdensome regulations on clinics" including compliance with surgical center building codes that would require abortion clinics to "increase the size of their operating rooms, hallways and doors to accommodate equipment they don't use." According to Planned Parenthood of Virginia figures, the bill would cost clinics between $1.5 and $2 million each, as the Potomac News also noted [5]. While the Examiner asserted that Republicans "should admit they really want to restrict abortion," it claimed that Democrats "just want to keep abortions cheap" [emphasis added].
Anschutz's involvement in the newspaper business adds to his already vast holdings, which include real estate, sports teams and venues, movie theaters, and film production. He ranked 33rd [6] on Forbes' list of "The 400 Richest Americans [7]" in 2004 and 80th [8] on Forbes' 2004 list of "The World's Richest People [9]." In September 2002, as non-executive chairman of Qwest Communications International Inc., Anschutz was named Fortune magazine's Greediest Executive of 2002.
A November 20, 2004, Washington Post article [10] reported that in October 2004, Anschutz bought the Alexandria, Virginia-based Journal Newspapers Inc. chain of suburban tabloids, which he transformed into the Washington Examiner. The Post reported [11] that 260,000 copies of the Examiner's debut edition were circulated February 1. As the Post noted [10] November 20, 2004, Anschutz purchased the San Francisco Examiner, the Independent, and their printing company earlier that year, a move that "sparked concerns among critics in San Francisco that he wanted to use the newspaper to promote his conservative beliefs, a charge his executives deny." According to a January 4 report [12] in the San Francisco Business Times, in October 2004, Anschutz "trademarked variations on the Examiner name in at least 68 cities, including Washington, Baltimore, New York, Detroit, Denver and Salt Lake City."
Anschutz has also ventured into film production. An article in the October 4, 2004, edition of Variety magazine described the "faith-driven billionaire's Hollywood forays," noting that Anschutz "has spent close to a quarter-billion dollars on a raft of movies designed not just to generate box office dollars, but to spread the gospel of education, religious faith and family values."
Christian self-help author Bob Buford, described in the February 20, 2004, edition of the San Francisco Chronicle as Anschutz's friend, told Fortune magazine in September 1999 that Anschutz "has a latent interest in doing something significant in American Christianity" and that Anschutz "is working deliberately and diligently on it."
Anschutz has a history of supporting socially conservative causes. According to a recent Post article [10], Anschutz's family foundation gave James Dobson, the founder of the conservative Christian organization Focus on the Family, an award for his "contributions to the American Family." The Post noted that according to the foundation's website, Focus on the Family works to "counter the media-saturating message that homosexuality is inborn and unchangeable" and that one of the group's policy experts referred to abortion as an example of when "Satan temporarily succeeds in destroying God's creation." Further, as the Post mentioned, Anschutz contributed $10,000 in 1992 to Colorado Family Values in support of the group's efforts to pass a state constitutional amendment to invalidate state and local laws that prohibited discrimination based on sexual orientation. (The referendum passed, but the United States Supreme Court struck it down as unconstitutional.) According to the Post, "Anschutz's money helped pay for an ad campaign that said such anti-bias laws gave gays and lesbians 'special rights.'"
In May 2003, the Orange County Weekly reported [13] that other Anschutz Foundation beneficiaries include the Institute for American Values, which according to the Weekly "campaigns against single parenting," and Enough is Enough [14], which "promotes Internet censorship." The San Francisco Chronicle noted on February 20, 2004, that Anschutz also funds Morality in Media [15]. As Media Matters previously noted [16], the Institute for American Values also receives funding from the conservative Bradley and Scaife [17] foundations, as well as grants from the John M. Olin Foundation [18], another major financer of conservative organizations. Enough is Enough [14] and Morality in Media [15] have also received funding from the conservative Castle Rock Foundation.
Anschutz has also made significant financial contributions to Republicans. The Washington Post described [10] Anschutz as "an active Republican donor" stating that "he, his companies and members of his family have given more than $500,000 in campaign contributions to GOP candidates and committees" since 1996. Variety noted in its October 4, 2004, edition that Anschutz has supported "a number of Republican political candidates, including John Ashcroft and Peter Coors."
While at Qwest, Anschutz was involved in an accounting scandal that led to his resignation. According to a November 20 Post article [10]:
In 2002, New York Attorney General Eliot L. Spitzer sued Anschutz and four telecom executives, accusing Anschutz of making $1.5 billion in "unjust enrichment revenue," including the sale of initial-public-offering stock Anschutz received in the hopes he would steer investment banking business to Citigroup Inc. Anschutz and Spitzer reached an agreement in which Anschutz admitted no wrongdoing and later paid $4.4 million to law schools and charities, and Spitzer agreed to drop the suit.
That same year, Anschutz stepped down as Qwest's non-executive chairman. Anschutz remains on Qwest's board and still has 80 percent of his original Qwest holdings, which have lost significant value.

Best Of :: Food & Drink
Don't get us wrong we adore the savory dinner options at Sweet O Wine & Chocolate Lounge. From cheeses and dips, served with excellent grilled bread from Simply Bread, to fresh salads and creative panini, there's plenty on the menu that we're happy to fill up on. But why try to save room for dessert when that's the star attraction of this sleek little eatery? Better to start off with exactly what you came for exotic chocolate pastries, chocolate fondue, chocolate hazelnut panini with crme fraîche and crispy hazelnuts, and petits fours galore. Once you get a glimpse of the chocolate treats in the display case, you won't be able to wait 'til after dinner to indulge. From macadamia toffee and milk chocolate caramel to fleur de sel truffles and butter ganache pralines, Sweet O can deliver your chocolate fix in just about any form you like. Even the eclectic wine selection is geared toward cacao consumption, with a generous selection of dessert wines and fortified wines. And if you'd rather let the experts guide your palate, pick one of the chocolate flights, where three different bonbons are paired with an appropriately decadent drink. Sweet O's proprietors say the "O" stands for "origine" (French for "origin," sort of the terroir of chocolate). But after flooding our brains with blissful endorphins and alcohol, all we feel is sweet oblivion.
We sure love hot chocolate, although in the warmer months (when we'll only drink iced lattes) we can hardly stand the thought of it unless it's Cowboy Ciao's unforgettable take on the classic cold weather treat, the Cuppa Red Hot Chocolate. Here, pastry chef Tracey Dempsey interprets it as a cool, utterly decadent dessert: a rich chocolate-cinnamon pot de crme that's almost as thick as fudge, served in an oversized cup fit for cocoa. The only thing "hot" about it is a froth of oozy chipotle cream on top perfect to scoop up with the spicy ginger cookie that comes with it. We'd happily splurge on a cuppa that any day, no matter the season.
We usually order dessert when we're out somewhere fancy, when the conclusion of a multicourse meal calls for something sweet to go with our after-dinner cup o' joe. But after lunch at a sandwich shop? Hardly ever unless we're at Bertha's Café, where it's a given. At this friendly, inconspicuous little eatery, desserts are impossible to resist, appealingly displayed in a big case right next to the front counter. From cookies and muffins to malted brownies, it's all good, but we're particularly fond of their rich, creamy, homemade cheesecakes. Sometimes it's actually hard to choose from the daily assortment of just-made mini-cakes, with creative concoctions like s'mores, baklava, and banana cream. Bertha's flavors are anything but plain Jane.
Check your guilt at the door. From buttery grits and mac 'n' cheese to the famous fried chicken served with a hot stack of waffles, everything at Lo-Lo's is stick-to-your-ribs delicious. So it only makes sense that dessert here would be a luscious affair, worth every calorie-laden bite. And, boy, does the red velvet cake deliver. One slice of this sweet, red-tinted chocolate cake slathered in buttery cream-cheese icing that we could just eat with a spoon is thick enough to feed two people. Still, we'd rather get one all for ourselves. We figure, if we're gonna blow our diet, we might as well do it with gusto.
We love olive oil drizzled on salads or soaked up with a soft piece of bread, but in dessert? Admittedly, the sound of olive oil cake turned us off at first. But we were very pleasantly surprised when curiosity got the better of us at radioMILANO, and now it's our favorite choice for sweet satisfaction at the end of the meal. Here, the thick slice of cake is so moist and velvety that it's hard to eat just a bite or two. It's served with a huge, smooth dollop of thickened cream (you'll never be able to eat Cool Whip again after tasting it) and a nice blob of blackberry jam, although we'd gladly eat it plain. And here's a word to the wise: Get your own piece. The rest of the menu might be full of shareable small plates, but when it comes to olive oil cake, we gotta look after ourselves.
Gelato, yogurt, custard we can't keep track of the latest frozen treat trend, and frankly, why bother when you've got Mary Coyle in town? For more than 50 years, this wonderful business has padded hips in the Valley with its homemade ice cream featuring old standards like rocky road and chocolate mint chip in a throwback of an ice cream parlor. Our advice: Go for the whipped cream, hot fudge, and nuts. You only live once, and it's not easy to find a place that's proud to make its product with 16 percent butterfat.

Every day comfort.
Fashioned from Pearl Izumi's Elite Transfer fabric in a race-inspired cut, the Elite Jersey covers your core with competition-level technology, only at an everyday price.
Essential to sustaining your output in Zone Three is the aforementioned lightweight Elite Transfer fabric. It aids in moisture management, while Izumi's In-R-Cool technology acts as a reflective element to the sun's rays. As a result, the fabric's surface temperatures are drastically reduced. Additionally, you'll find that the material's UPF-50 level of protection furthers this philosophy, while also saving your skin from sun exposure.
And not only does the Elite jersey cool and protect, but it also dries quickly. This, along with stretchy, mesh Direct-Vent panels under the arms, prevents sweat from accruing at the fiber level. The engineered-elasticity in these panels also allows the Elite to follow your movements in the saddles, meaning that the fit will be free from any bunching, pinching, or chafing while in the cycling position.
To secure this fit, and to prevent the jersey from migrating, Izumi placed an elasticized gripper along the drop-tail hem. This also prevents the jersey from sagging when its three rear cargo pockets are loaded with your ride essentials. And in addition to these, Izumi has also included a fourth rear pocket that's both zippered and sweat-proof in order to house your electronic devices. You'll also find a full-length zipper that makes entry and exit of the jersey a breeze, as well as reflective elements that will increase your visibility to motorists in low-light conditions.
The Pearl Izumi Elite Jersey is available in five sizes from Small to XX-Large and in the colors White/shadow grey, Screaming Yellow/black, Black/electric blue, True Red/white, True Blue/white, and Black/white.

Reviews & Community
Too small
- Fit: Runs small
- Size Bought: XL
I wear a size large t-shirt. I ordered this in XL because jerseys run small, and the XL was way too small. So I'm out another 7$ In shipping because of backcountry's terrible return policy. Not worth it.
Good Jersey
- Fit: True to size
- Size Bought: Large
Looks like a very durable jersey. Sizing true to size
What does anatomic fit mean with Pearl Izumi? Race fit, regular fit, relaxed fit?
Electronics pocket too small
Hoped iPhone se would fit in sweat proof pocket. Not a chance, pocket is even smaller than last years version.
100% spot on! Zippered pocket not suitable for anything other than spare change. I don't even think my car keys/key ring would fit in the zippered pocket!
Beautiful Jersey
- Familiarity: I've used it once or twice and have initial impressions
- Fit: True to size
- Size Bought: Medium
Perfect fitting. The fabric is great and it feels very confortable. I really like the colors and the style. I chose my size using the measures shown in the web site and it worked like a charm.
Best fit I've found
- Familiarity: I've used it several times
- Fit: True to size
I consider myself a thin guy but all the other jersey's I've tried have been too slim. This fits well and looks better than most options I've seen.
What size did you get?
Good deal
- Familiarity: I've used it several times
- Fit: Runs large
It is true that it runs slightly larger, it is not a very snug fit, but still shapes nicely around the torso. For the sale price, actually, a decent quality well-fitting jersey. Even got a second of those because of that reason. Won't go wrong with buying this, may have to buy a size smaller than you are used to Castelli et al. Jerseys...
Feels like a "Club-Fit"
- Fit: Runs large
- Size Bought: Medium
So I read a lot of these reviews before buying, and I have to say that I was surprised that my size medium fits me looser than I expected. My upper body is bigger than most typical cyclists. The sleeves are almost flapping. I'm carrying a few pounds extra these days around my mid section and it's still on the loose side. Not loose enough for me to return (see picture of me racing in it), but honestly, I'm surprised and a bit disappointed that it doesn't fit a little more snuggly. The attached picture was taken by Bicycle Racing Pictures at the Grant's Tomb Criterium.
I fit well in Nalinis. How does this jersey fit vs the Nalinis? Does it run smaller or bigger?
Top quality jersey
- Familiarity: I've used it several times
- Fit: Runs small
- Size Bought: Large
I'm 5'11" 163 lbs ordered large. Perfect fit. The quality compared to cheapies is huge. The fabric is comfortable. Breathes as advertised. Love the small zip pocket on back for my keys. It's such a great jersey I ordered a second one.
Great value!
- Familiarity: I've put it through the wringer
- Fit: Runs small
- Size Bought: XL
This jersey is an excellent value for the money. Using it in multi hour rides through out the summer in temperatures approaching 100 degrees I stayed cool and ventilated. This jersey does run a bit small and I had to bump up to XL size from large. I love the jersey and it's styling and am wanting to get an additional color.
Look good Feel good
Fits perfect! Man is it sharp looking.
Is the Pearl Izumi elite men's jersey a Regular Fit based on size chart?
Really nice jersey
- Familiarity: I've used it once or twice and have initial impressions
The Elite jersey is awesome. Used it on the first ride yesterday on a 50 miler and it felt
great. I'm 5'7" 165 # with a 30" waist and the form fitting jersey fits great (I purchased a size medium). Not too loose and not skin tight. The fabric feels really soft and durable. So far, so good.
good jersey...
- Familiarity: I returned this product before using it
- Fit: True to size
I picked one up off of SAC but ended up returning it because I couldn't pull off the white and orange SAC color. It seemed pretty durable and the large fit me well at 6'2 200lb.

Ex-Microsoft Exec: Sony's PlayStation Worried Gates, Convinced Him to Make Xbox
Jason Mick

Recipient E-mail
Sender E-mail
(Source: AFP)
Consoles were a second option for Microsoft
Despite the success of the Xbox, that was not Microsoft Corp.'s (
) first choice plan in the gaming space,
according to
interview with a former Microsoft executive. Joachim Kempin, who was VP of Windows Sales at Microsoft for 20 years starting in 1983, says his former employer only decided to build the Xbox after a falling out with Japanese gaming giant Sony Corp. (
I. Sony Console Worried Gates
The original Xbox and its successor, the Xbox 360, had their low points (
red rings of death
, for example), but have established themselves as a popular console gaming option, selling millions of units. The gaming unit is perceived as one of Microsoft's strong performing businesses.
Perhaps predicting both the rise of the console and tablet as replacements/challengers to the traditional PC,
Bill Gates
reportedly in the 1990s sounded the alarm when Sony announced the original PlayStation. Seeing Sony jump into the market, Microsoft became determined to beat its former partner, who was turning its back on PC gaming for a non-Microsoft alternative.
Describes Mr. Kempin:
The main reason was to stop Sony. You see, Sony and Microsoft…they never had a very friendly relationship, okay? And this wasn't because Microsoft didn't want that.
Sony was always very arm's length with Microsoft. Yeah, they bought Windows for their PCs but when you really take a hard look at that, they were never Microsoft's friend... but as soon as they came out with a video console, Microsoft just looked at that and said 'well, we have to beat them, so let's do our own.
The original PlayStation launched in 1994. Then in 2000 Sony introduced the PlayStation 2, which added PC-like media player functionality and broader support for online gaming on third-party servers. A year later Microsoft countered with the Xbox.
II. Crafting a Console
The payoff of consoles -- by Sony's model, at least -- has traditionally been the licensing fees paid by game publishers. The hardware itself is often sold at-cost, or even
at a modest loss
. For that reason Microsoft had trouble convincing a PC maker to hop onboard the Xbox experiment.
Joachim Kempin, a 20 year veteran of Microsoft is spilling the dirt on the history of the Xbox.

Recalls Mr. Kempin, "I went out to several PC manufacturers and tried to beg them to do the Xbox thing and keep the device manufacturing out of Microsoft. The guys were smart enough not to bite, because they studied the Sony model and saw that Sony could not make money on that hardware model, ever. So they supplemented it with software royalties, and Microsoft copied that model."
As for Xbox profitability, he argues that developers have always been the winners; that Microsoft has managed to break-even, but not do much better than that. He comments, "They're just maybe a little bit above breakeven, that's all there is. This is not a big money-making machine for Microsoft."
A former Microsoft exec. claims the Xbox is not a big money-maker for the tech giant.

Microsoft is currently diving into a third-generation console, which is expected to launch this holiday season. After trumping Sony in the last generation (dubbed by some as the "seventh-generation") of consoles, there are
some trouble signs
for the upcoming Xbox 720. While the spec looks
somewhat similar to Sony
, Sony's hardware is reportedly slightly more powerful and considerably easier to develop for.
Microsoft also may alienate customers with its stance on used games; reportedly it is tying purchases to your Xbox Live account, as a means of stopping game resale (which it earns no cut from). Sony, while a long time support of strict digital rights management, has not yet announced a similar anti-resale provision.

O. Kay Henderson reports that maybe the Branstad focus on property taxes is misplaced in Economist: Iowa income taxes not competitive:
A Midwestern economist says Iowa policymakers should focus on cutting income taxes rather than property taxes. Ernie Goss, an economist at Creighton University in Omaha, says Iowa's income tax rates are fifth highest in the country.
"In terms of what Iowa needs to look at, in my judgement, given what's going on in Kansas, what's about to go on in Nebraska — Iowa's neighbors — you need to look at income taxes, in terms of being more competitive," Goss says.
Iowa property taxes are too high, but income taxes matter more for many taxpayers. While property taxes are a big deal to companies that own real estate, like a manufacturer or a big insurance company, income taxes can mean a lot more to a start-up or a tech company. Fortunately the Tax Update's Quick and Dirty Iowa Tax Reform Plan is ready to go!
Making a dent in the deficit! A chart shows how much the tax increases on "The Rich" will reduce the $1.2 trillion federal deficit (new taxes in green, deficit in red)
Either the government spends a lot less, or taxes go up a lot for everyone. The rich guy isn't buying
The IRS isn't buying, either. Tax Analysts reports Better IRS Enforcement Could Net $1 Billion More a Year, Says GAO ($link). $1 billion is less than 1/1000 of the deficit. They won't audit their way to solvency.

It's Monday. Do you know if your payroll taxes have been remitted? Another sad story of a payroll service provider who decided he needed taxes withheld from his clients more than the IRS did. Digtriad.com reports that Arthur Weiss of Winston-Salem, North Carolina is going away for 15 years:
Case documents show Weiss operated professional employer organizations (PEOs), which provided payroll-related services to client companies. For his client companies, Weiss agreed to pay the employees, withhold and remit federal and state taxes, prepare and file the federal and state employment tax returns and provide workers compensation insurance (WCI).
Weiss did pay the employees and withhold the employment taxes, but he failed to remit the employment taxes, keeping them for his personal use.
PEOs that file taxes under their own names and ID numbers have a hidden danger: their clients can't verify that the IRS has received their payments via the Electronic Federal Tax Payment System (EFTPS). Employers can use EFTPS to monitor payments when they use a payroll service that reports employee taxes under the employer's own name and Tax ID number. This makes it necessary for taxpayers to investigate PEO-type providers very carefully before trusting them with payroll services. If your payroll taxes are stolen by your payroll provider, the IRS will come after you to collect. Not many employers can afford to pay payroll taxes twice.
Russ Fox has more.
Few thieves report their income honestly. From WHOTV.com:
Disgraced former Peregrine Financial CEO Russell Wasendorf Sr. is in jail awaiting sentencing for embezzling over $200-million in customer funds, fraud, and lying to federal regulators.
Now the state says he may have also cheated on his taxes.
Records show the [Iowa Department of Revenue] filed an assessment in November against Russ and Connie seeking $14.1-million in unpaid taxes and penalties to Iowa.
Good luck collecting anything.

Elected representatives at work. Tim Carney: Baucus rewards ex-staffers with tax breaks for their clients:
Tax breaks for Hollywood, NASCAR, windmills, algae and multinational corporations ended up in the "fiscal cliff" bill thanks to President Obama, according to Senate Republican sources. But they were spawned by a web of lobbyists, donors and staffers surrounding Democratic Sen. Max Baucus of Montana.
Baucus' Finance Committee passed a bill in August extending 50 expiring deductions and credits for favored industries. At Obama's insistence, the Baucus bill was cut and pasted word for word into the cliff legislation.

GSA Calls for Real Property Innovation Award Entries
May 5, 2008
Contact: Jen Millikin, (202) 501-1231
WASHINGTON – The U.S. General Services Administration (GSA) today announced a call for entries for the 12th annual GSA Achievement Award for Real Property Innovation. The award program was established to gather and share cutting-edge real property practices among agencies striving to improve their real property asset management. The 2008 program will recognize exemplary practices in the categories of asset management and sustainability.
GSA's Office of Governmentwide Policy will accept entries from eligible federal employees from May 1 – July 1, 2008. Entries will be judged by an independent panel of distinguished government and industry experts. GSA senior officials will recognize winners with a monetary award of $5,000 for an individual entrant or $10,000 for a team. All entries submitted will be published in the Governmentwide Policy Office of Real Property Management's Best Practices Edition of the Real Property Policy Site Newsletter, a publication that encourages the adoption of best practices across the federal government.
Established in 1997, the GSA Achievement Award for Real Property Innovation has enabled GSA to collect hundreds of real property practices from across the federal government and share those practices among the federal real property community. These real property practices have spanned a wide spectrum of real property areas, including business practices, asset management and planning, customer service, information systems, performance measures, security, sustainability, and human capital strategy.
The entry form is available online at gsa.gov/realpropertyaward. For further information on the 2008 GSA Achievement Award for Real Property Innovation, contact Patrice Walker at (202) 208-7639 or email@example.com.
GSA provides a centralized delivery system of products and services to the federal government, leveraging its enormous buying power to get the best value for taxpayers.
• Founded in 1949, GSA manages more than one-fourth of the government's total procurement dollars and influences the management of $500 billion in federal assets, including 8,600 government-owned or leased buildings and 208,000 vehicles.
• GSA helps preserve our past and define our future, as a steward of more than 425 historic properties, and as manager of USA.gov, the official portal to federal government information and services.
• GSA's mission to provide superior workplaces, expert technology solutions, acquisition services, purchasing and E-Gov travel solutions and management policies, at best value, allows federal agencies to focus on their core missions.
Did You Know? In December 1995, GSA created its Office of Governmentwide Policy to consolidate its policy functions into a single organization.

View: Criminal complaint for Jaried Escobedo
Photo gallery: Small brush fires under control in Waterman Canyon
Prosecutors have filed charges against a San Bernardino man who they allege is responsible for igniting five small brush fires last Thursday in the Waterman Canyon area.
Jaried Michail Escobedo, 27, was charged with one count of arson, causing great bodily injury, according to a criminal complaint filed Monday in San Bernardino Superior Court.
The complaint alleges Escobedo, also known as Jaried Michael Escobedo, "did willfully, unlawfully, and maliciously set fire to and burn and cause to be burned forest land thereby causing great bodily injury to Joshua Boehm," the complaint alleges.
Escobedo pleaded not guilty to the charges at an arraignment before Judge Kenneth Barr on Monday in San Bernardino Superior Court, according to court records.
The defendant will be represented by the public defender. He is scheduled to return to court April 3 to determine if he is ready for a preliminary hearing on April 5.
A request for Escobedo to be released on his own recognizance was denied, court records indicate. Barr ordered Escobedo to be held in custody on $250,000 bail.
Firefighters extinguished five small brush fires, which burned a total of 1 acre Thursday afternoon in Waterman Canyon, according to San Bernardino National Forest officials.
The first fire ignited shortly before 3 p.m. near Highway 18 and lower Old Waterman Canyon Road, according to the California Highway Patrol website, prompting a closure of Old Waterman Canyon Road.
Police officers arrested Escobedo after he was seen running from the Waterman Canyon area for allegedly setting five fires along Highway 18 near Waterman Canyon Road during the afternoon of Mar. 21.
Escobedo reportedly noticed San Bernardino police officers waiting for him at the top of the ridge, tried to run back down the hillside, lost his footing and took a tumble, officials said. He was initially held on an unrelated warrant, but following an investigation by the San Bernardino City Fire Department, was later booked on suspicion of arson, booking records show.

Business forum to explore China-S.C. relationships
By Peggy Binette, email@example.com, 803-777-7704
South Carolina's honorary trade ambassador will join Chinese business leaders and scholars Thursday, Feb. 21, at the University of South Carolina to discuss the importance of cross-cultural communication to the state's business relationships with China.
The "Third Sino-American Business Forum" will take place 2 – 5:30 p.m. in Lumpkin Auditorium, on the eighth floor of the Darla Moore School of Business. The event, co-hosted by the university's Confucius Institute, is free and open to the public. The theme is "Global Communication in Business Across China and North American Markets."
David Hudgens, regional director of the Asia Pacific region of the Moore School's Office of International Activities, says the speakers who will participate in two panels will share their personal insights on how communication serves as a bridge between two cultures and is a key to building stronger, more reliable business ties.
"We're bringing together many different communities within South Carolina and the U.S. Southeast – communities that are having greater and greater interaction with China as a marketplace and as a significant cultural influence shaping the contemporary global landscape," Hudgens says.
In addition to Ambassador Vivian Wong, founder and chairwoman of Pacific Gateway Capital, and Hudgens, speakers and panelists will include:
Luke Chan, a finance and economics professor at McMaster University in Ontario;
Ke Liu, dean of the International Business School at the Beijing Language and Culture University;
Michelle Wang, restaurateur and president of the M Gourmet Group in Columbia;
Dirk Brown, director of the Moore School's Faber Entrepreneurship Center; and
Renee Matthews, principal of Eastpoint Academy in Columbia.
This marks the university's third Sino-American business forum. Previous ones were held in 2008 and 2010. While event is open, registration is encouraged. Register online.
"We're fortunate to have so many resources in South Carolina, including our business community, public sector and universities, that serve as channels of enriching our understanding of Asia, China and the forces of the global markets driving our economy," Hudgens says.
For more information, contact Hudgens at 803-777-5069 or via email at email@example.com

I am aware that there is already a thread on this in the BT3final Support forum but due to the posting restrictions, I decided to make a post about my (pretty much the same) problem here.
Downloaded BT3, md5 sum checked out and burned onto CD at slowest speed.
Works on my desktop PC and one year-old Asus notebook but not my newer Asus M51Kr notebook. All drivers are up to date - from BIOS to graphics, yet when I boot from the disc and get past the menu (also tried safe mode - results in the system freezing) I get a solid black screen.
Any ideas as to what could be causing this? I find it odd that it works on my older Asus notebook and not the newer one - at least I know it's not the disc.

MInd Over Weight

Who's Going
San Francisco, California
London, United Kingdom
Florence, Italy
Event Details
This event is an introduction to the work I do as a Hypnotherapist, and the 8 week class I teach called
Mind Over Weight
In my experience Weight is never about food, weight is the result of how we see and feel about the stories we let play over in our heads, about ourselves and our weight, sometimes those stories, are our own stories, sometimes they are other peoples stories about weight. in this work, I show you self-hypnosis techniques to help you clear any unwanted energy/beliefs, that you are carrying about yourself or weight. The goal is to help you get present, about where you are in your journey, in your weight and where you want to be in your life. You may find, that once you realease the old patterns or stories, that you keep hearing, you maybe okay with being right where your at, and that it's okay for you to decide. So whether you want to gain weight, lose weight or even stay the same.. I am here to show you how to get where you want to be. This introduction class may open you up to all the possiblites you need to see right now or it may lead you to want to discuss private sessions with me or taking my 8 week Mind Over Weight Class. No matter what you decide, the goal is that you come and learn some good information and leave feeling good energy!
Thank you so much for just being here to read this!
Much Love and Light to YOU!

Deni Staples
My name is Deni Staples. My background is in Communications. After a life changing event having my son in 1999, I felt like there was more to life, I was just missing out on it. I loved being a mom and staying home with Jackson, but the questions I had about Life and it's meaning needed more investigation on my part. When my son was old enough, I was led to go to hypnotherapy school. There I did alot of my own work to heal and found this beautiful connection to myself and to my higher power at the same time. I was shown how to realease other peoples thoughts and ideas and my own assumptions I had about, how my life "should" be. I was shown that I had all the best answers for me, and no matter what I choose for myself, my choices were okay, and because of this connection, I was never alone. Beacause I cleared and released all that was not working for me, I made room for exactly what was and more.. I found Love for myself and for the whole world because of this great connection to a higher source. I call it God, but you call it whatever you want too, I am just here to show you this connection, one you've always had to Love and to a Higher Power, and that your possibiites are endless..
Thank you so much for being here today, there are no accidents, so if you were asking for more in your life and this was where you landed, maybe it's worth coming to and check out.
Much Love and Light to YOU!

About CSO
What is Combined Sewer Overflow (CSO)?
Older parts of the City's sewer system are known as a combined sewer, which must handle the combination of wastewater and stormwater in one single pipe. Combined Sewer Overflow occurs during heavy rainfall, when so much stormwater enters the sewer that it overloads the system ... causing it to back up and overflow at dozens of places around town.
State and federal environmental mandates require us to eliminate sewer overflows, and to do this, the City's CSO solution will be the largest capital improvement project the City has ever undertaken. The work, which affects more than 170 miles of underground pipe, will take years to complete and cost millions of dollars. Much of the funding will come from sewer usage fees, with the rest drawn from a variety of state and federal grants and loans.
Fixing the Problem
After years of study, the City devised a three-part plan to fix the problem of combined sewer overflow.
1. SEPARATION of the combined sewer into a two-pipe system, with one pipe for stormwater and another pipe for wastewater.
2. REPLACEMENT of the large "interceptor" pipes, which are the main arteries of the sewer system. This network of pipes carries sewage down to the regional wastewater treatment plant in the lower basin.
3. DISCONNECTION of gutter downspouts and other "rainleaders" from the sewer system, which keeps millions of gallons of stormwater from entering the sewers.

for using different operating systems, truecrypt [1] is a very powerfull and easy to use tool to share data between all of those systems ... hopefully you can give it a chance in BT4

Truecrypt is still lacking full disk encryption for Linux as far as I know.
Tiocfaidh ár lá
Well yeah, but nothing an apt-get can't fix
Tiocfaidh ár lá
I thought about including it, but
a) It's quite big
b) the installer requires to agree on some TOA and automatically installing it would void this, so I just thought: wtf, to hell with it.
It's easy to install...

Ratings for Dr. Shunpei K. Iwata
Dr. Iwata was very patient and listened to all my concerns. He is very knowledgeable, and followed up with me promptly. Staff are all nice and very helpful. Thanks to them, I feel all better now!
Possibly the least knowledgeable I have ever met. He was unfamiliar with common disorders and unable to diagnose well enough to identify type of practice to refer to. Refused to treat by claiming ignorance. Extraordinarily unhelpful. Absolutely gorgeous office.
The front staffs are very attentive. Dr. Iwata is very knowledgable. He has a firm policy on controlled medication, unlike some of the doctors I had in the past who didn't really care and just wanted to hurry out of the room seeing the next patient. He will explain in detail of the downsides of dependency on these medications. I am glad to be under his care. Highly recommend his office!!
I had a great experience with today's visit at Dr. Iwata's office. He spent a long time taking care of me, and staff were very helpful. I highly recommend Dr. Iwata.
Best Internist in Pasadena! He and his staff are very professional, caring, always call back PROMPTLY when you have questions/concerns. Dr. Iwata himself is unbelievable considering the amount of time he spent on my husband with every of his regular and emergency visits. He even asked my husband to call back if he felt better so he can have a peace of mind. Who gives that kind of care and time to patients nowadays?
Dr. Iwata is the best doctor I have ever met with. He is brilliant! The office is very clean and the decor is like no other office. The staff is friendly and everything is high tech. I am 100% saitisfied with the quality of care I recieve at Dr. Iwata's office.
This is the best doctor in the UNIVERSE. I went in for a routine physical before my air force pilot application, and he spent over an hour with me. The physical was the most thorough I've ever received, and he answered all my questions fully and competently. Since then, I've had to call Dr. Iwata several times with urgent problems related to the extremely stringent medical hoops the Air Force is making me jump through. Every time I call, he returns the call PERSONALLY, answers every question I have, and when I need referrals he works them promptly. I'll say it again. BEST DOCTOR IN THE UNIVERSE. But note that he is in Pasadena, not Panorama City.
He is a wonderful doctor. Very easy to talk to him. He is very knowledgeable and spends time taking care of my problems. Highly recomended.
Great doctor and very nice office! I was feeling sick and needed to see a doctor soon. He talked to me on the phone first and scheduled me on the same day. Office is very clean and has a comfortable decor. He spent a good amount of time with me and he was caring.
He is the best doctor I have ever seen! He spends time, and provides the appropriate treatment.

Trapped: How the World Rescued 33 Miners from 2,000 Feet Below the Chilean Desert
Grades 4+
In August of 2010, a Chilean mine collapsed suddenly, trapping thirty-three men in the dark mine over a mile beneath the earth with limited supplies. After the collapse, the men were able to get to a shelter point, but had no way to communicate with the ground above. All routes to the surface were blocked by the accident.
Initial rescue attempts did not prove successful - maps of the mine were not updated and were somewhat inaccurate; rescue drilling routes that were, on the maps, clear shots to the miners were unable to bypass the sediment.
A gripping and inspirational survival and rescue tale of teamwork and determination, Trapped may make you claustrophobic at times, but ultimately will fill you with optimism. A must-read non-fiction account of recent history for kids and adults alike.

The new plan, approved on a 4-0 council vote (with Jim Dobbie absent) on Jan. 16, shifts the entire portion of employees' share of pension costs from the town onto the employees, caps vacation and sick-leave accrual and the town's contribution to health-care premiums, and creates a two-tier retirement system (one for current employees and another for new hires). It also eliminates post-retirement health benefits for new hires.
The changes are effective July 1.
Even with salary increases for the 10 affected employees, under the plan the town will save, in the first year, $46,000 of what it now pays the state's public employee retirement agency, according to a report by City Manager George Rodericks.
The town currently pays $92,000 annually for the employees' portion of pension contributions to the California Public Employees' Retirement System (CalPERS), which administers public pensions. That figure represents 7 percent of the affected employees' salaries. The town also pays an additional amount charged by CalPERS to public agencies.
The council passed an earlier compensation cost-cutting resolution in November, with council members Jerry Carlson and Elizabeth Lewis — as well as the affected employees — criticizing the plan for creating too much of a financial burden on employees too quickly. The original resolution called for incremental increases in employee contributions for retirement costs over an 18-month period, at which point employees would pay the entire amount.
In December, with Cary Wiest replacing Kathy McKeithen on the council, the issue was taken up again, and staff was directed to bring back a resolution that would slow the pace of the incremental changes, perhaps stretching them out over three or more years.
Mr. Rodericks presented the council with two options last week: Option 1 spread the incremental changes over three years, and Option 2 put the shift in place by July 1, but raised salaries 3.5 percent. The second option, approved by the council, was favored by most employees, Mr. Rodericks said.
The benefit to employees of that option, he said, is that it will have less impact on the portion of compensation that pensions are calculated on. That's because when the town pays an employee's share of CalPERS contributions, that amount is added to the employee's compensation total for the purpose of calculating his or her pension, he explained in the report.
"Option 2 provides for an increase in the salary range of half of the cost of the pension obligation in an effort to share the burden and offset the impact," he said.
The town benefits from Option 2 as well, he said, because it saves $43,000 more than Option 1 over a three-year period. One reason for that is that the first option includes funds for a merit bonus program as a means to offset the impact of the shift of pension costs to employees. The original resolution passed in November and rescinded the next month also included the merit bonus program.
In his report, the city manager said employees support the cost-cutting policy objectives of the council, and appreciate the chance "to be engaged in the discussion of meeting those objectives."
"Staff felt it was important to note that they are unrepresented and feel that (they) can remain unrepresented so long as they are given the opportunity to participate in the discussion and are treated fairly," the report said.
The resolution doesn't affect most of the town's police officers, whose union contract expires Sept. 30. Labor negotiations with the Atherton Police Officers' Association are expected to begin this spring.

CASH was stolen from a Bromsgrove betting shop after a cashier was intimidated.
The incident happened at Ladbrokes, in Worcester Road, at about 6.50pm on Friday, May 23.
Although the female cashier was not directly threatened, she felt intimidated after a man entered and demanded money.
He stole money from off a cash tray she was holding, then opened the till and took a further amount.
He put the undisclosed amount of money in an orange plastic bag before running off.
The man is described as being white, under the age of 35 and possibly under 6ft. He was wearing a light cream or beige hoody with the hood up, and dark tracksuit bottoms with a flesh coloured stocking over his face.
He ran past the Golden Cross in High Street and Prezzo, turning into an alleyway, then heading towards the car park leading to New Road.
A few moments earlier another man had been in the shop and picked up a football leaflet before leaving.
He is described as being white, in his mid to late 20s, of average build, just under 6ft. He was wearing a dark baseball cap which was possibly dark blue or black, a blue sweatshirt and dark loose fitting trousers. He had a tattoo on the right side of his neck.
Bromsgrove police are investigating the incident and have released CCTV images of two possible witnesses, as well as the offender.
Detective Constable Claire Johnson, of West Mercia Police, said anyone who recognises the images is asked to contact her on non-emergency number 101, quoting incident 547-s-230514.
Alternatively call Crimestoppers anonymously on 0800 555111.

Though authorities in San Bernardino County said the manhunt for fired LAPD officer Christopher Dorner is over, Los Angeles police Thursday morning say they're still receiving tips and plan to keep investigating the case.
Los Angeles police Officer Sara Faden said the teams protecting threatened officers and their families have been scaled down, and the number of investigators assigned to the case has diminished. She said some officers are still being protected until San Bernardino County coroner's officials confirm that the remains found Tuesday are Dorner's. But information is still coming in about what led to Tuesday's deadly gun battle in the San Bernardino Mountains. Catch up: Christopher Dorner coverage
"Certainly, they are still receiving follow-ups of what led to the incident," Faden said. "The tips are not only (regarding) his location, but to provide information for what may have led to this - some of his activities that led up to the particular incident."
Faden did not know the fate of the $1.2 million reward offered for Dorner's capture, because she says the decision is being handled by the Mayor's office.
San Bernardino County Sheriff John McMahon identified the deputy killed in the Seven Oaks shootout as 35-year-old Jeremiah MacKay, a 15-year veteran with the department. Sheriff's Deputy Alexander Collins, with the department five years, suffered serious injuries in the shooting.
Both deputies were shot after responding to a call at Club View Drive about a man who stole a vehicle Tuesday afternoon. The suspect later barricaded himself inside a cabin. The structure eventually caught on fire and burned to the ground.
He did not confirm whether the charred remains found inside the cabin were Dorner's, because forensic testing still needs to be conducted.

Big Ideas for Job Creation
Nov 09, 2011
More than a dozen leading experts gathered for the Big Ideas for Job Creation Policy Forum Nov. 8, 2011, to present practical, scalable proposals to create more jobs for the U.S. economy. The project is funded by the Annie E. Casey and W.E. Kellogg Foundations and organized by the UC-Berkeley Institute for Research on Labor & Employment. CLASP senior policy analyst Elizabeth Lower-Basch presented her paper, Rethinking Work Opportunity: From Tax Credits to Subsidized Job Placements.
Federal subsidies meant to encourage hiring of disadvantaged workers such as the Work Opportunity Tax Credit (WOTC) often provide large windfalls to employers in low-wage, high-turnover industries without creating any net new jobs or changing who they hire. Ms. Lower-Basch recommends that deeper, more targeted subsidies administered at the state level are a more effective way to encourage employers to hire disadvantaged workers and create jobs.
Rethinking Work Opportunity presents an alternative approach to tax credits based on state and local experiences operating subsidized jobs programs in recent years. Most recently, the Temporary Assistance for Needy Families (TANF) Emergency Contingency Fund (also known as the Emergency Fund) enabled states to operate flexible, targeted job programs that subsidized wages for businesses hiring unemployed low-income workers. From 2009 to 2010, this program placed more than 260,000 low-income individuals in subsidized jobs at a total federal cost of $1.32 billion. States could choose whether to target long-term unemployed workers, welfare recipients, or other populations. In contrast, the WOTC allows any for-profit employer to claim a credit for hiring members of certain eligible groups. In 2010, WOTC cost $1.1 billion, with no evidence that it promoted net job creation or changed employers' hiring choices or practices.
Despite widespread and bipartisan support from participating employers, workers, and states, the TANF Emergency Fund expired in 2010, forcing many states to shut down or scale back dramatically their subsidized employment programs. Such programs are still eligible uses of TANF dollars, but given the high levels of need in states and the wide variety of competing uses, it is likely that these programs will serve only modestly more people in 2011 than they did prior to the Recovery Act.
The Pathways Back to Work Fund, part of President Obama's American Jobs Act, would provide $2 billion for subsidized employment programs modeled on those operated under the Emergency Fund. CLASP strongly supports this provision. However, even when the economy recovers, disadvantaged workers will still need help connecting to employment. Redirecting funds from the WOTC could provide ongoing funding to support successful subsidized jobs programs.

You really should read the review of the book if you get a chance (Click here). This is the gold that Wright has unearthed. Scientologists believe: "The planet Earth, formerly called Teegeeack, was part of a confederation of planets under the leadership of a despot ruler named Xenu. To suppress a rebellion, Xenu tricked the confederations into coming in for fake income tax investigations. Billions of thetans were taken to Teegeeack where they were dropped into volcanoes and then blown up with hydrogen bombs."
Hubbard apparently had all this come to him while he was sitting in his dentist's office.

TAMPA, FL -- The National Confectionery Sales Association has bestowed its Distinguished Service Medal on Michael Gilmore, vice-president of business development at Ferrara Candy Co. (Forest Park, IL). The award, which recognizes long service and on behalf of the association, was made during its annual Candy Hall of Fame induction and banquet here.
Gilmore, who was inducted into the Candy Hall of Fame in 2001, has worked in the industry for more than four decades. He held managerial and executive positions at Standard Brands Inc. and Rowntree Ltd. USA, and became chief executive of the latter. He then served as chief operating and director of Ferrera USA Inc. from 1988 until he retired in 2007.
Formerly called Ferrara Pan Candy, it became Ferrara Candy Co. following a merger with Farley's & Sathers Candy Co. (Round Lake, MN) in May 2012. Farley's and Sathers produced such well-known lines as Brach's, Chuckles, Jujyfruits, Now and Later and Trolli. Ferrara Pan Candy, a longtime supplier of popular bulk vending confections, manufactured both branded and private-label confections. Its principal lines are Atomic Fireballs, Black Forest, Boston Baked Beans, Lemonheads and Red Hot.
Gilmore was president of the National Confectionery Sales Association (Cleveland) from 2007 to 2009, and chairman of the National Confectioners Association (Washington) in 2009 and 2010.
The National Confectionery Sales Association was established 125 years ago to foster positive growth and acceptance of confectionery products, and to recognize the achievements of category leaders from all sectors of the industry. The Candy Hall of Fame was founded in 1971.

Popular ABC Radio commentator, Kel Richards (Australia), claims the rich and diverse idioms of the English language come from many sources, but two of them dominate: Shakespeare and the Bible. He writes:
"From the Bible comes 'the writing's on the wall', 'the salt of the earth', 'turn the other cheek', 'the blind leading the blind', 'casting pearls before swine', 'the mark of Cain', 'the fleshpots of Egypt', 'a soft answer turns away wrath', 'lick the dust', 'pride goes before a fall', 'you can't take it with you', 'there's nothing new under the sun', and countless others."

Editorial Comment: We recommend you take his following advice: "So, if you really want to master the English language, you should brush up your Shakespeare, and read your Bible".

first off, not looking for drama here.
But they legalized weed here in Colorado, they say it won't be sold in retail stores til 2014, but it's not illegal to smoke it anymore. I honestly think that it's great. The cops can actually do some real work now instead of wasting their time and our tax money.
I don't smoke anymore, but hey, when the kids are all in bed and asleep, and when we do get some weed, i will be one happy momma again. It feels like forever since i had some, even though it's only been 9 months since i let my card expire when i found out i was pregnant.
It's better than a beer for me, cause when me and dh (dear husband) drink it only causes and arguement (mostly cause i can't keep my mouth shut when i drink and say something stupid), when we smoke together, we're just happy.
Dispensary's were against it since they would lose money and patients. Schools are all for it since a bunch of the profits go to education which we all know the schools are in dire need of funds lately.
I put a poll since i know some people may be afraid to admit how they really feel, especially if they are for it.
In my eyes, teens will do things regardless out of curiousity, i did, and i would much rather find my kids a little red eyed with munchies than to find they were out drinking or smoking cigarettes. But i do hope they choose not to do anything until the legal age
