Dogs will not be allowed at the new phase of Burlingame Ranch because current homeowners in the affordable housing complex do not want them, Aspen City Council members decided on Monday.
Council agreed that Burlingame's existing homeowner's association should ultimately determine whether dogs will be allowed in the new phase, and it appears that there is currently no support for it. About 70 percent of the 91 Burlingame homeowners said they did not want the neighborhood to be dog friendly, according to a recent survey, which Stefan Reveal, HOA president, presented at the council's work session.
A dog ban was originally placed on the first phase of Burlingame, located off of Highway 82 and across from Buttermilk, as part of a pre-annexation deal with neighboring ranch owners before it opened in 2007.
Council discussed allowing dogs for the 48 new Burlingame units that are slated to be built over the next two years due to the lack of dog friendly affordable housing options in Aspen. Of the 57 who have signed up for a unit and have been pre-approved by a bank for a mortgage, 70 percent said they want the units to be dog friendly.
For the pet restriction to be removed on the entire complex, the pre-annexation agreement would have to be changed, as would the declarations and covenants with the existing Burlingame HOA.
At Monday's meeting, 15 people spoke on the issue with the majority arguing against making the neighborhood dog friendly. Many of those in opposition are current Burlingame homeowners.
Karen Thornely, a Burlingame homeowner whose husband Gyles is on the city's open space and trails board, argued against allowing dogs. Untrained canines would create hostility between neighbors, and the size of the Burlingame condos aren't large enough to accommodate dogs, she said.
Burlingame homeowner Inga Lark and her husband Doug Campbell sat side by side arguing that the pets would disturb surrounding wildlife. Lark pointed out that the city's open space board advised against removing the ban because of the potential long-term impact dogs will have on the wildlife area.
"Unfortunately whatever action taken here will be irreparable," Lark said.
Tom Cardamone, chief ecologist at the Aspen Center for Environmental Studies (ACES), said dogs would alarm wildlife by barking, potentially transfer diseases around the community, attract coyotes and mountain lions, and generally increase the blood pressure of the community.
Two young couples, both who had reserved a unit at the new phase of Burlingame, spoke in favor of removing the ban.
Nicolle and Shane Allen currently own a dog and they signed up for a unit in the new phase because it was pet friendly.
"I can say with certainty if it is continued to not allow dogs, we would pull our reservation and we would not pursue it again," Shane Allen said.
It's difficult to find housing that allows pets because the system lacks the inventory, he said.
Ashley Cantrell Perl, who works for the city, and her husband Dan Perl, agreed that they would likely not pursue living at Burlingame if dogs aren't allowed. It's the last available quality housing option in Aspen, Ashley Cantrell Perl said. Without the hope of Burlingame, they will likely look for housing options downvalley and miss out on many benefits that come with living in Pitkin County, she said.
Another couple, who own a single-family home at Burlingame, argued that allowing dogs at the new phase while outlawing them in phase one would be unfair. Jennifer and Tim Carney requested that the city remove the ban so that they could have a pet.
"We're not OK with phase two having them and not us," she said. "It doesn't seem like the process is fair."
Council agreed that the city shouldn't impose different standards on the new development, while phase one homeowners purchased their units believing there would be no dogs in the neighborhood.
"I think it's pretty obvious that we're not supportive in just allowing dogs in phase two," Councilman Torre said.
Torre is not in support of removing the dog ban from the pre-annexation agreement because he was originally involved with instituting it, he said.
"I'll stand by those agreements that I made," he said.
Councilman Adam Frisch argued that it's not a wildlife or legal issue, but it's a question of governance, which should be solved by the HOA. Councilman Derek Johnson suggested that the HOA come up with a hybrid solution that would allow for dogs in the future if homeowners wanted them. Councilman Steve Skadron agreed that the homeowners should decide, but said he did so with a heavy heart because of his love for dogs.
Mayor Mick Ireland suggested that the current HOA meet with prospective buyers to try to come up with a solution that makes everyone happy. It's not council's job to impose a solution to the problem because ultimately the two groups of people will be living in the same neighborhood, he said.
"I think you need to look at your neighbor in the eye and say 'This is why you shouldn't have a dog,'" Ireland said.
Ireland also warned the current homeowners to be careful in deciding the issue via an HOA vote because as Burlingame is developed, they will eventually be outnumbered by new homeowners, he said.
"Be careful what you ask for, phase one," Ireland said.

(Reuters) - Herbalife Ltd (HLF.N) said it plans to add two directors to its board picked by activist investor Carl Icahn, who has supported the nutritional products company in its fight against hedge fund manager William Ackman.
Under terms of the agreement announced on Thursday, Icahn also has the right to increase his stake in Herbalife to 25 percent from nearly 14 percent now.
Herbalife shares jumped 7.5 percent in afternoon trade, as the news raised "hopes that Herbalife will recapitalize, accelerate stock repurchase and/or look to be acquired," said S&P Capital IQ analyst Tom Graves.
At the very least, Icahn, one of the world's best-known investors, will soon have access to non-public information about Herbalife which may bolster his side of the public debate with Ackman over the legitimacy of the multi-level marketer's business model.
"He has a board level opportunity to get some questions answered. That's worth something," said D.A. Davidson analyst Timothy Ramey.
Ackman's Pershing Square Capital Management bet roughly $1 billion that Herbalife is an unsustainable pyramid scheme destined to collapse. Icahn contends that it is a good company with good management.
Icahn's directors expand the size of Herbalife's board to 11 members.
Herbalife Chief Executive Michael Johnson said in a statement that the company looks forward to working with them.
"We appreciate the Icahn parties' shared views on the inherent value of Herbalife's operations, products and future prospects," Johnson said.
Icahn said in the statement that he expects the representatives to provide "positive input into board decisions affecting the future of the company." He did not say who the representatives might be or in what strategic direction he would like to see the company move.
He was not immediately available to comment. Ackman was also not immediately available.
Herbalife shares jumped $2.85, or 7.6 percent, to $40.29 on the New York Stock Exchange.

The hosts went behind early but a goal from the Portuguese in the second half was all Walter Mazzarri's men could muster at San Siro.
Rolando, on loan from Porto, scored the equalizer early in the second half after Mauricio Pinilla had put Cagliari in front from the penalty spot late in the first half.
Despite creating the clearest chances and hitting the bar late through Mauro Icardi, the Nerazzurri could not find the winning goal to make it three successive wins and Rolando's leveler left Cagliari still looking for its first away win in Serie A since last February.
It has been a week of upheaval for struggling Cagliari, whuch parted company with assistant coach Ivo Pulga earlier this week, but the visitors impressed early at San Siro, with Victor Ibarbo in particular causing problems.
Inter went into the game unbeaten in nine at home in all competitions since its solitary San Siro loss this season to Roma, and Jonathan had the team's first chance of note but sliced well wide inside the area.
Walter Samuel scored the only goal in Inter's last home game - a 1-0 win over Sassuolo - and almost repeated the trick after 23 minutes when he out-jumped two players to meet Ricky Alvarez's teasing cross, but the direction was lacking.
As the half wore on, the home side exerted its authority, but a lack of real class was evident. Zdravko Kuzmanovic found space 30 yards out and lined up a shot only to fire well wide.
But it was Cagliari which took the lead after Juan Jesus handled in the area after 40 minutes. Pinilla made no mistake with his penalty, firing into the right corner and sending Samir Handanovic the wrong way to notch his sixth goal of the season.
A disappointing half for Inter was almost rescued in injury time but, although Diego Milito's fierce effort was spilled by Vlada Avramov, the goalkeeper held on at the second attempt before Alvarez could get to the rebound.
Inter coach Walter Mazzarri changed things up at halftime and brought on Icardi. His impact was instant, as he provided a lovely cushioned header across the box after 51 minutes for Rolando to sweep under Avramov from close range.
Cagliari was not deterred from its task and space opened up for Andrea Cossu soon after. Although his shot did not hit the target, it had the sprawling Handanovic worried.
Parity was only maintained after a wonderful Avramov save after the hour mark. Fredy Guarin chipped a delightful ball to the onrushing Rodrigo Palacio, who volleyed from 10 yards. The effort looked destined to find the corner, only for Avramov's outstretched leg to deny the Argentine.
Inter went agonizingly close to snatching all three points in the final minute when Icardi beat Avramov to the ball, but the header cannoned back off the bar and Cagliari scrambled clear.

Completely new to all this.
Hi. :)
I'm Jen and I'm a 26yo married mother of four. Looking back, I realise now that I've always been more attracted to women than to men.- But in my upbringing that simply wasn't 'done' so I did my best to repress those feelings.
I've known my husband since we were nine years old. He's my best friend. We have a very comfortable relationship. It was only after the birth of our kids, however, that I really came clean about my sexuality. Remarkably enough, he was fine with it and even suggested that I explore that side of myself. After much talking, we decided that the sensible solution was to explore the world of polyamory... And so far, we're liking this.
Hi nytefae,
I'm new here and new to this also. I'm 41 single without ever desiring a LTR mono relationship with a women, I'm a sub bi guy. Having vast numbers of women in youth, I now must have an emotional connection to my partners. A couple has entered my life, at first I was dazed(we are still working out the details), now I'm in love with myself and life and us!
I'm happy for you and your supportive spouse and thankful for this site
Good that things are going well for you. =] Welcome to the site. If you ever need some personal time to talk with someone, I'm always free to send a PM to.
I haven't had much time to really explore the site. It seems to have so much good information! I'm hoping to get some time to really read through this weekend. :) Thanks so much for the warm welcome.

Standing 6 feet 2 inches tall and weighing over 300 pounds, Lowell Lotulelei is not a little guy.
As the consensus #2 prospect in the state of Utah and younger brother of former Ute and All-Pac12 defensive tackle Star Lotulelei, he's not under-the-radar either.
Heading into this weekend's official visit to Utah Lowell had plenty of options in front of him. He carried offers from in-state programs Utah, BYU, and Utah State as well as UCLA, Oregon State, Boise State and many others.
Utah was in on Lowell early, but when older brother Star burst onto the scene in 2011 the eyes of coaches and scouts turned quickly to Bingham High School in hopes of landing the next dominant force in the Lotulelei family.
"Recruiting was crazy. A lot of people called me since last year and a lot of schools have sent me letters."
Lowell carries a quiet demeanor and doesn't participate in social media sites like Twitter and Facebook like other high-schoolers and soon-to-be D1 athletes.
He has a cell phone but says he doesn't answer it often and doesn't like to spend a lot of time talking with coaches. As a result, it has been difficult for programs (and recruiting sites) to gauge his interest, especially these past few months.
As signing day crept closer Lowell knew it was time he made his decision. Ultimately comfort, familiarity, and a track record of success won out.
"I'm definitely glad that it's over. It's been a long process. Most of the coaches that were recruiting me were really cool about just calling me once in a while and not really blowing up my phone so it was cool. But it was still long; I'm glad it's over."
So why Utah?
"The reason I picked Utah was because of the ties between them and my family. Seeing how much they helped Star and how successful he's been and where he's going. And not just that; the coaches, they're real sincere in what they say. I just feel like I really connected with the coaches, it was just real good.
"With Utah, they've just been constantly showing me that they really care about me and that I'd be successful going over there. I think Utah is one of the best D-line schools in the nation. They have a lot of players in the league, especially D-linemen. I think it will be a good place for me go to and try to take it to the next level."
Older brother Star's position coach Chad Kauha'aha'a recently left the Utah program after being offered a position on the Wisconsin defensive staff. Coach Chad was very close with the Lotulelei family after spending years bonding with Star. His departure opened up questions about whether or not Lowell would leave the state. Though he admits he did consider it, he says ultimately his relationships with remaining Utah staff members helped keep him in the state.
"Losing coach Chad was hard for my family because we have known him so long; but there's still a lot of good coaches up there [at Utah] that I really like and that were really cool. Coach Chad is a great coach and a really good guy but in the end it didn't really affect my choice."
Lowell says one current Utah coach stood out above the others throughout his recruitment.
"Coach Hill...he was always around, always at my school checking up on me and my grades and classes, he was probably there the most. I really respect him and the way he recruited me. He was a big reason why I chose Utah."
Lowell committed to the Utah coaches at breakfast in front of 13 other official visitors as his visit this past weekend concluded. The trip, Lowell says, was a lot of fun for everyone involved and made him excited about playing with some potential teammates. He says it showed him just how enjoyable playing at Utah could be.
"The visit was awesome. Meeting all the other kids my age, the other recruits, they're real cool. It was way fun. They had a lot of real cool activities planned for us and everybody got along real well. It was cool hanging out with all the other recruits. LT Filiaga was my host. He married my sister just recently so it was nice hanging out with family. Overall the whole weekend it was just a real fun."
With less than three weeks until signing day many Utah fans are probably wondering whether or not this commitment will stick. In the recruiting game 'it 'aint over 'till it's over' and even then strange things can happen – especially when it comes to high-profile recruits such as Lotulelei. Will Lowell be swayed as signing day approaches?
"I'm pretty solid with my commitment to Utah. There's nothing else going on with my recruitment, I don't have any more visits scheduled. So no, I don't see anything changing my mind. This is it, I'm done."

Looking at shoes. All barefoot shoes cost way too ****ing much. I don't want to pay $50+ for a pair of reinforced socks/footbags, or $80-$100 for a pair of reinforced toe-socks that I can't even wear because my middle toes are too long. And I don't want to wear kung fu/water shoes so I can have my toes crushed in. FFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFU
Rick, I'd say just find the most comfortable flattest shoes you can, take them with you and only wear them when you need to. Otherwise, barefoot it!Bunny trainer extraordinaire!

My supervisor has celiac disease. He uses alternative grain products (fake bread, fake pretzels, etc.). His lunches are fake pretzels and fruit. It makes me sad.Depression Lies
They called me this weekend and told me I was a great match for someone needing a bone marrow transplant. I would be happy to do it -- but unfortunately I'm disqualified since it took me so long to recover from my c-section incision back in December.
There's just too much risk that I might have a crappy immune system or some underlying autoimmune disorder, basically. Gotta keep both me and the patient safe, and there's no point in putting the patient through the extreme risk of a transplant if my immune system isn't 100% kicking ass.
They did say they have another potential donor as a back-up, so hopefully the patient won't die, but... I think this is enough to qualify as a gripe."Trust me, you will soon enter a magical land full of delicious steakflowers, with butterbacons fluttering around over the extremely rompable grass and hillsides."
GUH. I post on facebook "Sorry, hate to seem pushy, but I really wish a lot of people would read stuff like this. It's creating an amazing uproar right now. Communication is key for change!" and a link to the Amazon.com Wheat Belly page. I figured that'd be a nice way to share information, but not push my WoE in other people's faces.
My cousin says: "Due to Anastasia's celiac, we have been wheat-free for several years. It is amazing to realize how most people eat wheat all day long. We are still consuming rice though (not sure I could do absolutely grain free). That book looks interesting. . ."
I say: "I eat rice sometimes but went grain-free about 2 months ago. It's made a huge difference in my digestive system, despite not having celiac disease. I don't use alternatives, I just focus on healthy fats/meat/veggie-based carbs and I feel pretty darn good "
My sister says: "Hm bacon= not the healthiest fat"
So I say: "[sister's name], when I have a heart attack due to too much bacon or my cholesterol gets dangerously high, you can criticize my bacon consumption. Until then, please stop. This is the healthiest I've ever been and it's not because I'm eating too much bacon."
Maybe I should have said something a bit nicer like "'Hm bacon'? I'm not familiar with that meat, can you tell me what it is?" but it really pissed me off. She's such a crossed-arms hoity toity vegan and it drives me fucking insane. I guess the biggest thing is bacon = saturated fats and that's the hardest thing for people to accept, but I seriously doubt with all the better things I"m eating, like VEGETABLES, I'm in any real danger. I am definitely getting overly defensive over it (and now not looking forward to a long drive with her to Maine tomorrow) because this is honestly the best I've felt in a long time, but I don't tell her that the way she eats is unhealthy so she can fuck off about how I eat. Gr. Need to calm down.Depression Lies

Sweet Million Cherry Tomato Orzo Salad
Mighty 'Mato
This fresh and light pasta salad is so good! Make it during the summer and pair with burgers or grilled shrimp kebabs. The fresh, garden-picked tomatoes make a difference. Check out mightymato.com to get your Sweet Million tomato plants and get growing!
- 8 oz

- 2 pt
- mighty 'mato sweet million red cherry tomatoes
- 1/4 c
- olive oil
- 8 oz
- feta cheese
- 1 large
- cucumber, peeled and chopped
- 2
- green onions, thinly sliced
- 2 Tbsp
- minced fresh oregano
- juice from 1 lemon
- black pepper, to taste
How to Make Sweet Million Cherry Tomato Orzo Salad
- 1• Bring a large pot of well salted water to a rolling boil. Add the orzo, stirring it so that it doesn't stick to the bottom of the pan. Cook, uncovered, at a high boil until al dente, cooked through but still a bit firm. Drain the pasta (it helps to use a fine mesh sieve for this as the small orzo might pass through holes in a colander), and rinse with cold water to stop the pasta from cooking further.
- 2• Toss the pasta with the olive oil in a large bowl. At this point you can make ahead and chill until you are ready to serve (or transport to a party). Toss with the rest of the ingredients, the tomatoes, feta cheese, cucumber, green onions, oregano, lemon juice, and black pepper. The feta is salty so you shouldn't need to add more salt.

- Very disappointed
This ring is absolutely stunning - a real sparkler!
I gave it only 2 stars because in the first ring I ordered lost a couple of the small stones pretty quickly and the same happened with the replacement.
Also would love if there were more half size choices.
- Everybody looks closely at this ring and tells me it's gorgeous!
I love this ring. I've had it for two years now and I wear it daily. It has not lost a single stone and looks as beautiful today as it did when I purchased it.
- A Real Sparkler!
Just ordered this ring and am totally pleased with my purchase. I am always amazed at how sparkly the Berricle pieces are. I wish that the rings came in half sizes but that is certainly not a ding on how beautiful this ring really is.
- Love it but want 1/2 sizes please!!
I seriously love this ring! I wear a size 4.5 so I bought a 4, but it only fits when my fingers are cold (wah!!!) so I bought a size 5 too for swollen days. Really wish there were 1/2 sizes at Berricle!!!
- I love it.
I absolutely love this ring!!! I wanted a ring like this for my engagement ring and now that I have it - I want to wear it instead of my e-ring. It is so gorgeous and I so love it. I ordered another one for my index finger to change things up.
- Love this ring!
Great cut, high setting. Shines brightly and looks real! Very nice right hand ring as well.
- Beautiful Ring!
Beautiful Ring! The center stone is so clear and sparkly. Yes, it's large, but I love it. The halo and all the pretty details make this ring a total winner. This isn't my first Berricle ring and it won't be the last. I'm growing quite the collection!
- Love my new ring!!
This ring is truly stunning!! I also got it 2 days earlier than the predicted delivery!! I'm a VERY satisfied customer!!
- Ring
It is beautiful ring just felt stone was too big. Sending back but will re order a different one
- Beautiful
Beautiful halo ring. Sparkles very nicely and love the style. Have ordered quite a few items from Berricle and I am always pleased with the quality and service of Berricle.
- Amazing piece
I can not attest to longevity but this ring is absolutely stunning. Such a gorgeous piece and it's on trend with the halo ring explosion happening in fine jewelry stores.
- I have bought several items from Berricle, and this is one of the best. The stone is a perfect size, and the setting is amazing. It's perfect for someone with small hands. My husband - who is a true skeptic about CZs - loves it!
More Beautiful than the Picture
- Beautiful
This ring is stunning. When i first got it my mom thought i had spent thousands on this ring. Her jaw dropped. This ring looks so real and i wear a size 8.25 ring finger i got a size 8 and it fits very comfortable with a little extra space. This ring is beautiful and i feel the perfect size for my hand. This is my second purchase from Berricle and it wont be my last. Amazing work!!!
- loved this ring!
So excited about the quality of this ring. I can't believe how much it gets noticed & people think it's real diamonds. I will definately shop here again!
- Love this ring!!!
I ordered about 10 rings from Berricle to find "the one" and was impressed with the service and quality of all... BUT... this ring stood out. It is just beautiful. True sparkle like you would not believe. It runs a bit big as I am a 6.25 and the size 6 is just perfect. I LOVE THIS RING!

Estimates of Eligibility for ACA Coverage among the Uninsured in 2016
Under the ACA, as of 2014, Medicaid coverage is extended to poor and near poor adults in states that have opted to expand eligibility, and tax credits are available for low and middle-income people who purchase coverage through a health insurance Marketplace. Millions of people have enrolled in these new coverage options, but millions of others are still uninsured. This analysis updates national and state-by-state estimates of eligibility for ACA coverage options among those who remained uninsured. It is based on Kaiser Family Foundation estimates based on the 2016 Current Population Survey, combined with other data sources. We estimate coverage and eligibility as of 2016.

A Final Look: California's Previously Uninsured after the ACA's Third Open Enrollment Period
The Kaiser Family Foundation California Longitudinal Panel Survey is a series of surveys that, over time, tracked the experiences and views of a representative, randomly selected sample of Californians who were uninsured prior to the major coverage expansions under the Affordable Care Act (ACA). The initial baseline survey was conducted with a representative sample of 2,001 nonelderly uninsured Californian adults in summer 2013, prior to the ACA's initial open enrollment period. After each enrollment period concluded, a survey was conducted of the same group of previously uninsured Californians who participated in the baseline (a longitudinal panel survey). The fourth and final survey in the series, and the focus of this report, followed up with them after the third open enrollment period in spring 2016 to find out whether more have gained coverage, lost coverage, or remained uninsured, what barriers to coverage remain, how those who now have insurance view their coverage, and to assess the impacts that gaining health insurance may have had on financial security and access to care.

At a whopping $18,400+, the MusicMachine 3 just sounds like debt to me.
With an obvious passion for sci-fi, watchmakers MB&F created a TIE fighter-themed music box with an over the top level of craftsmanship. On either side there is an over-sized roller dotted with over 1,400 tiny pins that have each been assembled by hand into 1,400 tiny drill holes. The precision-tuned 72-tooth comb made from special steel alloy plays six distinct tunes including the themes from Star Wars, James Bond, Mission Impossible, The Godfather, Merry Christmas, Mr. Lawrence, and The Persuaders.
To celebrate its tenth anniversary in 2015, MB&F only issued 99 of these limited edition music makers with the tagline "A creative adult is a child who survived." And I hope that creative, surviving child of their target market is also a rich one.
Listen to the dainty music box sounds of the Star Wars theme after the break.

Seven Things that Make City Park Residents Very, Very Mad
City Park and City Park West surround what's arguably the heart of Denver, and without a doubt the core of the impressive Denver Parks system. The two neighborhoods combined cover ground from Downing to Colorado Boulevard, and 23rd to Colfax avenues. (It's important to include City Park West in this discussion, because City Park as a neighborhood is almost wholly taken up by the obviously non-residential park itself, leaving a strip of a neighborhood only two blocks wide, if a mile long.) The City Park neighborhoods have a lot about which to boast: the gorgeous and sought-after East High School, a rejuvenated stretch of Colfax that includes the flagship Tattered Cover and Sie FilmCenter and, of course, the museum and zoo and two lakes that populate City Park itself. Of course, all that doesn't keep residents of the neighborhoods from having their occasional gripes — like these seven.
7. Geese
Geese are nice enough, as large birds go, especially large birds that have little to no fear in approaching you as you picnic and demanding stale bread, potato salad or whatever you've got there in that basket, chief. But oh, my God, the poop. Sure, we choose to love them, but we've all had that moment where we've thought, "Hey, are those lawn plugs, or….no, nope, that's goose crap," followed by muttered swearing and then seeking out a place to scrape off our shoes. And geese don't just keep to the park, either: They head into back yards and neighborhoods, and they cross the streets without any sort of crosswalk or sense of self-preservation. Geese are the Denver equivalent of Dustin Hoffman in Midnight Cowboy, slapping the hood of your car and yelling,"Hey, I'm walking here! I'm walking here!"
6. New Construction
City Park and City Park West have been filled in for some time now, so the only new construction that can happen requires the destruction of what used to sit in its place. Sometimes, this isn't a huge deal — when an old, run-down one-story office building gets torn down to make room for a new high-rise apartment at the edge of Uptown, no one's going to complain to the historical society. When the old LePeep spot on York gets a new life with Syrup, we make plans to go. But all that construction gets in the way, from closing lanes on 17th and 18th in order to get to the buried sewer and power lines, to cyclone fences surrounding the new Denver rec center on Colfax, to the all-too-common scrape-and-rebuild strategy of Denver's yearning for newer and larger homes.
In keeping with the architectural style of the new section of the house, we're tearing down the old part next year.
Westword photo
5. Pop-Tops
Long before Highland had the same problem, City Park and City Park West invented the unwise renovation of a small home into a larger one. Sure, it might make more sense to expand a home when you need a little more elbow room, but too many people in the last few decades have chosen to do so without the help of an architect. Expanding your house — changing the visual style and curb appeal of the home itself — requires the help of a professional. (Not that hiring a professional alone will guarantee results—buyer beware.) Doing without isn't saving you money — it's buying a lot of headaches, both from your neighbors and from potential buyers when you someday decide to sell that once-charming bungalow that has suddenly become a stylistically unrecognizable box with some windows and a base that once looked like a house.
4. East High
Yes, it's cool to have Denver's most sought-after public high school smack-dab in the middle of your neighborhood, and, yes, it's very cool that it looks so very stately (having been modeled after Philadelphia's Independence Hall). But with all the awesomeness that comes with having one of America's most successful public high schools (Newsweek named it as such in both 2000 and 2008), there's also the hassle of…well, all those damn students. No offense to the kids, but their sheer numbers can be an issue. Just try to drive down Colfax before or after school, or at lunchtime. And God help you if there's a fire alarm, a student walk-out protest or a Broncos Super Bowl win. The crowds of high-schoolers will be so thick and loud that you'll be nostalgic for hordes of geese.

World War Two was probably the most destructive conflict in the history of humanity. It resulted from the instability of the world democracies and its failured and slided into totalitarianism. By the end of World War Two, Fascism is discredited as unappealing and a ideological pariah. The Axis powers were Great Britain and its colonies, Germany, and Japan. Italy stayed neutral until the late stages of the war. On the Allied side were Russia, France, China, Iran, Kurdistan, and Turkey. Yugoslavia(plus Bulgaria), Hungary and Romania joined the Allied side in the mid stages of the war, having been invaded by Germany.
In September 1, 1939, German forces plunged into Poland with a blitzkrieg attack against that country. Polish forces fought back, but their sacrifices were in vain as the Germans quickly overran large parts of Poland. Some Polish units escaped from Poland and refitted their armies in France and Russia. As a result, the Allied Powers(minus the USA) declared war on Germany and possibly its alles. Great Britain resumes its conflict against Russia from British India, invading Russian Central Asia and Russian South Pacific. Though the BUF-dominated British forces succeed in taking some parts of the Russian lands(particularly Malaya), they were hampered by guerrilla attacks from all over the countryside.
Russia launched its attack against German-held Poland in an attempt to dissuade the Germans from launcing their attack into Russian territory, but failed to do so in a series of defeats.(However, the strings of defeats were minor and not much of a problem, compared to the losses during WWI). The Baltics were kept in Russian hands, though there are some Lithuanians that wished to break away and sought German help. Lithuania actually hosted the Polish guests for the duration of the war.
For a couple of months, no nation launched attacks against each other in Europe. In Central Asia, the British kept on pouring their troops into that area so they could invade the Russian heartland and at the same time, gain control of South East Asia to secure Australia's safety. This potentially backfires as some units accidentally invaded Afghanistan, resulting in a gruesome conflict with the Afghan guerrillas.
German Invasions of the Balkans and Russia
By 1941, most of Europe are under German control. Britain had also invaded Ireland and occupied it within a couple of months, though the British war effort begins to buckle down once news of the gruesome battles with guerrillas in South East Asia, Central Asia and Afghanistan starts to filter through BUF censors. Hitler, Mosley, and Tojo signed the Tripartite Pact, but Mussolini is still contemplating on joining this alliance as he wasn't ready yet. Romania opted to stay neutral, but Hungary decided to join the Allied cause by launching raids into German-occupied Austria. To make matters worse, Yugoslavia had signed the Tripartite Pact but didn't ratify it, thanks to a pro-Russian coup led by Serb officers of the Royal Yugoslav Army led by General Simic. Meanwhile, Mussolini quietly sends his own troops into Albania and annex the entire country and contemplates on attacking Greece as well.
As a result of Hungary and Yugoslavia's stubbornness against Hitler's ambitions, he ordered a mass invasion of both countries. The fighting lasted around two months, but guerrilla warfare starts once Budapest and Belgrade are captured. Pro-German Arrow Cross thugs start a pogrom against Jews of Hungary, but since they were attacked along with Yugoslavia, German forces start to clear Hungarians out of Yugoslav territory. In the aftermath of the invasion, Germany dismembers Yugoslavia and awards Croatia its independence. Some of Hitler's generals would regret this decision as Croat fascists would later target Serb minorities in their vicious ethnic cleansing program. Serbs that escaped Croat atrocities eventually form Chetnik bands and harass their sworn enemies.
On July 6, 1941, Germany and its allies invaded Russia. This time, the Germans had managed to gain an upper hands in the early stages of the war despite Russian preparations, but mostly because of greater number of troops and insurrection in the Baltics. The German Army manages to liberate the Baltics, but occupy Belarus and Ukraine, bringing in a guerrilla war in their midst. The Russian government evacuates to Novosibirsk, out of the enemy's reach. Five months later on December 7, 1941, the Germans fight the Russians in Moscow and lost the battle. However, it would take at least another year until the Germans and their allies are out of Russian soil. By then, the Lithuanians have descended into civil war.
Pacific Campaign: The Beginning and the Middle.
At the same time the Battle of Moscow had gone underway, Japan launched a surprise attack on both the American naval base at Pearl Harbor and the Russian naval base in Manila. A few days later, Japan sent its troops to invade both the Russian Far East and Russian South Pacific. Laoag and Tugegarao have fallen in the RSP, while Vladivostok is under siege. A few days after the Japanese attack, Russia and USA have declared war on Japan.
In 1942, Japan has captured the Russian South Pacific capital, Manila. By then, the RSP Military Command moves the capital to Jakarta. During the April months, the Russian Army has suffered its worst defeat since the Crimean War at the Bataan Peninsula. The victorious Japanes troops send the captured Russian soldiers to a POW camp, but some of them die in the infamous Bataan Death March(in OTL, it was American soldiers who were brutalized in that death march.). In the Russian Homeland Front, the same occurs but it is German soldiers who treat their Russian prisoners as bad as the Japanese does.
Yet the Japanese and some British soldiers couldn't dislodge the Russian forces who had resumed their conflict as guerrillas tried to pacify them and even Australia contributed to the pacification process. In 1943, the combined Russo-American fleet had defeated the Japanese in Midway Island. Moreover, the Russians bomb Japanese cities from Khabarovsk.
1943-1945 Europe: The Beginning of the End
By 1943, the British public opinion had grown more negative as the news of rapid increase of casualties reaches the home front. The BUF tried its best to suppress its disgruntled citizens, but to no avail. Moreover, Great Britain is facing a revolt as pro-Allied factions establish a revolutionary government in Edinburgh. A few month later in July 1943, the pro-Allied Free Great Britain Forces and their American and Free Commonwealth allies recapture England and execute the BUF led government. In Italy, the same scenario has happened, only German troops had occupied the northern half. In the Balkans, partisan resistance increases.
By June of 1944, the Allies mount a double pronged invasion of France from England and North Africa. The invasion was a success, though there are heavy casualties on both sides. By December 1944, half of France is liberated.
In the Russian Homeland Front by 1944, the Russians mount an offensive that relieved the siege of Petrograd and Kiev.(the Russians have defeated the Germans in Volgagrad back in 1943, similar to OTL's Battle of Stalingrad, only the Germans were partially prepared for the cold.) German forces occupying almost all of Russian territory were caught off guard and quickly retreated. Their retreat is made even bloodier when both Hungary and Romania decide to expel their German minorities and the latter abandoned its neutrality and declared war on Germany. In October 1944, the joint Russo-Hungarian-Romanian armies entered occupied Yugoslavia/Bulgaria and liberated it. Pro-Russian Chetnik bands harass their fascist Croat foes out of Bosnia and Dalmatia. Mussolini still holds on his neutrality, despite the economic recessions in the Italian Empire.
Lithuania, Estonia and Latvia were also freed and the Free Polish forces crossed the border into Poland, starting the Polish Uprising. In Warsaw, the Germans and Free Poles engage each other in a street to street battle. Major cities like Paris, Amsterdam and Brussels are liberated by the Allies. By 1945, the Allies have positioned themselves in nations that border Germany and are within striking range of Berlin.
On March 22, 1945, Russian and Hungarian forces have invaded eastern Germany and Austria. Both sides suffer tremendous losses, but the Germans couldn't replace their losses any further. Berlin is attacked by April of 1945. A few weeks later, Adolf Hitler committed suicide and Germany surrenders to the Allies.
1944-1945: Pacific Campaign at its Finish
At the same time as the Liberation of Belgrade, the Russian Navy based in Palau(one of the Russian islands that escaped Japanese rule) set sail for the Russian South Pacific. Marshal Voroshilov and his troops land in Leyte, Sumatra and many other places in the RSP. The Japanese were decisively defeated, but not before suffering horrendous losses as they introduced the kamikaze suicide plane. By the end of the Leyte invasion, all of the island plus some islands in Indonesia are in Russian hands. At the same time, the Russians had relieved the siege on Vladivostok and forced the Japanese troops out of Manchuria, but were bogged down in Korea. Eventually, Korea itself was retaken by the Russian and Free Korean forces.
In January 1945, the Russians had launched an invasion of Lingayen and captured the city. Five days later, Russian soldiers undertook a mission to liberate hundreds of Allied POWs from their Japanese captors. Manila falls two months later, with street to street battles underway. By then, both Russia and USA have developed a secret weapon that will bring an end to the war and are ready to deploy it. Japan has been sent an ultimatum, demanding its surrender. As predicted, the Japanese government rejects it, forcing the new nuclear powers to drop bombs into Hiroshima and Nagasaki(though the Russians have dropped their atomic bomb on Niigata and Kagoshima.) The War in the Pacific is brought to an end as Japan signs the Declaration of Surrender. The terms weren't as harsh as the OTL terms since Japan was allowed to keep Taiwan.

One is a first-term Missouri Democrat under constant fire from GOP critics taking aim at her Senate seat. The other is an Ohio Republican who is considered a potential running mate for presumed GOP presidential nominee Mitt Romney.
Despite their political differences, U.S. Sens. Claire McCaskill and Rob Portman -- the chairperson and ranking Republican on the Senate Subcommittee on Contracting Oversight -- have cooperated on some issues, including an inquiry into government PR contracts and a tariff-related measure that they hope to offer in the Senate this week.
On Wednesday, the two senators said they are seeking a Senate vote on their amendment that would respect the current ban on "earmarks" -- a ban that McCaskill had helped engineer -- by changing the way in which U.S. companies get tariff suspensions on imported products (such as certain chemicals) that aren't made or available in this country. Instead of having to convince a member of Congress to sponsor the duty suspensions, firms could go directly through the International Trade Commission.
"It's just a matter of saying that companies are not required to hire a lobbyist, and spend more money than they need to, to get tariff relief in order to manufacture products in America," McCaskill told reporters.
In the conference call, Portman said the amendment -- also introduced as a stand-alone bill -- "cleans up what is now a lobbyist-driven process. We're putting forth a process that gives businesses more certainty and less reliance on the political process. It creates a transparent, merit-based process" with the ITC doing the screening of data on the tariff reduction requests.
McCaskill said backers of their amendment have some leverage because, without the change she and Portman advocate, this year's major "miscellaneous tariff" bill -- which compiles hundreds of duty-suspension requests from members of Congress -- could be held up by objections that it violates the temporary ban on earmarks.
"The leverage we have is: "Hey, if you want to get this year's 'miscellaneous tariffs' through, you need to work with us on reform,'" McCaskill said. Portman told reporters that his Missouri colleague was "absolutely right" in her assessment of the legislative leverage. He added: "Getting the amendment to the [Senate] floor would be a great opportunity for us to inform more of our colleagues about what the real issues are here."
The duty-suspension process has relevance to Missouri and Illinois, where many companies -- from chemical firms to footwear producers or marketers -- rely on imported raw materials. According to a list of tariff requests compiled by the House Ways and Means Committee, five Missouri lawmakers -- including U.S. Reps. William Lacy Clay and Russ Carnahan, both D-St. Louis -- have filed a total of at least 87 such requests in this session of Congress alone.
McCaskill and Portman said that, if they are unable to add their bipartisan amendment to the small business bill that the Senate is debating this week, they will try later this summer or fall to append it to another legislative vehicle.
The tariff issue is the most recent of several initiatives on which McCaskill and Portman have collaborated, mostly since Portman -- a former director of the Office of Management and Budget during the administration of then-President George W. Bush -- became the subcommittee's top Republican member early last year.
On April 17, Portman said a McCaskill-chaired hearing on failures in wartime contracting in Iraq and Afghanistan was "incredibly important" because it is vital for Congress "to examine the lessons we have learned about wartime contracting from our experience over the last decade" in Iraq and Afghanistan.
In February, Portman and McCaskill announced that -- as a followup to a March 2011 subcommittee hearing into a sole-source $234,000 public affairs contract by the federal General Services Administration to a Kansas City PR firm -- they had launched a much wider inquiry into the federal government's spending on outside PR contracts.
The two senators sent letters to all 11 federal agencies asking for a full accounting of "contracts for the acquisition of public relations, publicity, advertising, communications or similar services," starting in October 2008. The subcommittee staff is analyzing the responses.
Portman aides have sought to put a political cast on the inquiry -- with one saying it would probe the current administration's "use of taxpayer-funded spin" on issues such as the impact of the Affordable Care Act. But McCaskill's staffers say the inquiry will be an even-handed look at whether such PR contracts are abused.
"It's an ongoing investigation," a McCaskill spokesman said Wednesday.

There was a dash of reality TV glamour and plenty of fruit and veg on display as Stephanie Alexander joined forces with Chyka and Bruce Keebaugh to announce that her Kitchen Garden project was coming to the Sculpture Garden cafe.
The cafe on the edge of the Sculpture Garden pond, run by the Keebaughs' catering company The Big Group, will be turned into a "conservatory" filled with vegetable and herb gardens.
And $1 from every meal will be donated to the Stephanie Alexander Kitchen Garden Foundation, which teaches school children to grow and eat their own vegetables.
The Kitchen Garden collaboration will run all summer in the cafe.
Alexander said the partnership had been about 15 months in the making and would help spread the word about the pleasures of growing and cooking food.
"I do feel very strongly about the idea of lovely food in public institutions, I think when you go to a gallery or museum it can only add to the experience if you have the best in what we produce and not the worst," she said.
There were piles of colourful fruit and fresh produce in the cafe and lots of colour in the form of The Big Group's founders Bruce and Chyka Keebaugh, who also star on The Real Housewives of Melbourne.
Chyka Keebaugh, who was sporting "head to toe" Scanlan Theodore with a pink peplum ensemble with matching sunglasses, posed for selfies with fans and cheerfully greeted all comers.
The couple said the emphasis in the cafe was on fresh local produce.
"We're serving only wines from the ACT ... and the same with the food as well," Bruce Keebaugh said. "And we're going to try to produce as much fruit and veg as we can. It's going to be tough."
"Canberra needs to be proud of Canberra," Chyka Keebaugh said.
And were there any plans to push for a more permanent structure for the cafe, which has essentially been a pavilion or tent for many years?
Bruce Keebaugh said they agreed wholeheartedly with the idea of a more permanent home for the cafe but it was difficult to invest the capital without knowing what shape the gallery's second phase of planning would take.
"So ideally, yes, It would be everyone's dream, but it's the same as everything else," he said.
Chyka Keebaugh said the Kitchen Garden partnership was a starting point.
"This is a really exciting thing and I think Canberra will embrace it; everyone's loving the concept," she said.
Gallery director Gerard Vaughan said the challenge for the architects who would design the gallery's second phase of development was to incorporate the Sculpture Garden and cafe into a new building.
"I think this is a wonderful pop-up summer phenomenon. It's incredibly popular, it's got a wonderful ambience. I would like to see this continue as much as possible. But the truth of the matter is that we are going to do a new building," he said.
"It's terribly important that the new building embraces the garden, embraces the concept of growth and greenery and that's a very interesting challenge for the architects."

Roma set sights on Sandro
Skysports.com understands Roma have made Tottenham midfielder Sandro one of their top transfer targets.
Last Updated: 13/05/11 11:33am
Skysports.com understands Roma have made Tottenham midfielder Sandro one of their top transfer targets.
Sandro has enjoyed a successful first season at White Hart Lane since his arrival from Internacional.
The Brazil international has caught the eye of a number of top clubs after impressing this term, especially in the UEFA Champions League win over AC Milan in their last-16 tie.
Sandro's agent recently played down talk linking the defensive midfielder with a move away from Tottenham, but admitted the South American would be keen on playing in Serie A.
Roma have been keeping tabs on Sandro's progress and they are now weighing up a move for the player.
The Italian side's new American's owners are determined to build a side capable of challenging for honours at home and abroad and are ready to back the Giallrossi in this summer's transfer market.
Spurs are determined to keep hold of Sandro despite Harry Redknapp admitting it could be difficult to keep their best players after they missed out on the Champions League for next season.

The accumulation of mutations in mammary epithelium is thought to be a contributing factor in the initiation of premalignant mammary lesions and their progression to malignancy and metastasis. We have used a mouse model in which the carcinogen is the mouse mammary tumor virus (MMTV) which induces clonal premalignant mammary lesions and malignant mammary tumors by insertional mutagenesis. Identification of the genes and signaling pathways affected by MMTV-induced mouse mammary lesions provides a rationale for determining whether genetic alteration of the human orthologues of these genes/pathways may contribute to human breast carcinogenesis. A high-throughput platform for inverse PCR to identify MMTV-host junction fragments and to determine their nucleotide sequences in a large panel of MMTV-induced lesions was developed. Common integration site (CIS) means that the gene was altered by an MMTV proviral insertion in at least two independent lesions arising in different hosts. Three of the new genes identified as CIS for MMTV were assayed for their capability to confer on HC11 mouse mammary epithelial cells the ability for invasion, anchorage independent growth and tumor development in nude mice. In addition, we have interrogated the published transcriptome and nucleotide sequence analysis of primary human breast tumors and determined that the expression of the human orthologues of many of these new MMTV CIS genes is deregulated or mutated in human breast cancer. Analysis of MMTV induced mammary premalignant hyperplastic outgrowth (HOG) lines and mammary tumors led to the identification of CIS restricted to 35 loci. We determined that within these loci members of the Wnt, Fgf and Rspo gene families plus two linked genes (Npm3 and Ddn) and three unlinked genes (Notch4, Sfmbt2 and Pdgfr-alpha) were frequently activated in tumors induced by MMTV irrespective of the mouse strain or the strain of virus. A second group of 13 CIS occur at a low frequency (2-5 observations) in mammary HOGs or tumors and are mouse or virus strain specific. In this latter group the expression of either Phf19 or Sdc2 was shown to increase HC11 cells invasion capability. Foxl1 expression conferred on HC11 cells the capability for anchorage-independent colony formation in soft agar and tumor development in nude mice. Twenty of the human orthologues of MMTV CIS associated genes are deregulated and/or mutated in human breast tumors. These results have been published in Callahan et al., 2012. Among the genes whose expression is altered by MMTV integration in the same transcriptional orientation within the gene (Notch4, Usp31 and Cadm2) we have shown previously that """"""""activated"""""""" Notch4 intracellular domain (Int3) can induce mammary tumors development as a consequence of an Rbpj independent component of the Notch signaling pathway. My current aim is to investigate the Rbpj independent pathway and to determine whether the activation of NF-kappaB, in the context of Int3 signaling, contributes to malignant growth. Microarray analysis of HC11-Int3 RNAs revealed high steady-state levels of the NF-kappaB target genes;IL1, IL6, IL-8, CXCL1 and CXCL2, as compared to control HC11 cells. Blocking of NF-kappaB signaling with the IKK-alpha inhibitor (IMD-0345) resulted in a complete regression of Wap-Int3 mammary tumors. In addition we demonstrated that Int3 activates the expression of NFkappaB P50 independent of Rbpjk. Investigation of the levels of activation/phosphorylation of NF-kappaB targets in normal mammary tissue from FVB/N females and Wap-Int3 mammary glands showed no difference in the phosphorylation of Ikk-alpha and P65 however the phosphorylation of P50 was significantly higher in the Wap-Int3 mammary glands than in the FVB/N glands. Total and phospho-P50 levels are not affected by the presence or absence of Rbpjk in the Wap-Int3 mammary tumors. However blocking of Int3 expression resulted in significant reduction of the phospho-P50 levels. The incidence of mammary tumorigenesis in Wap-Int3 transgenic mice dropped from 85% after the second pregnancy to 0% in the Wap-Int3/ NF-kappaB -P50-/- mice after five pregnancies. Taken together, these data are consistent with NF-kappaB-P50 being a component of Notch signaling that contributes to mammary tumorigenesis. A manuscript describing this work is being prepared. Wap-Int3 mice develop tumors with 100% penetrance. The treatment of Wap-Int3 tumor-bearing mice with Imatinib mesylate (Gleevec) is associated with the complete regression of the tumor, suggesting that Gleevec is an inhibitor of Notch signaling. To elucidate the mechanism by which Gleevec inhibits Notch, we treated HC11 mouse mammary epithelial cells expressing Int3 with Gleevec. We have found that there is a loss of Int3 protein but no change in mRNA levels. We hypothesized that Gleevec affects the stability of Int3 by promoting the degradation of Int3. The addition of MG132, a proteasome inhibitor, shows increased ubiquitination in HC11-Int3 cells in the presence of Gleevec. By studying the c-Kit and PDGFR pathway, we began to investigate substrate kinases ILK, CDK8, and GSK3-beta to ascertain a possible role in the stability of Int3. We have found that inhibiting GSK3-beta by drug treatment (SB216763) or GSK3-beta siRNA in the presence of Gleevec Int3 expression is preserved. Utilization of HC11-Int3 deletion mutants demonstrate differentially expressed phosphorylated GSK3-beta. Currently we are attempting to identify which E3 ligases are activated by GSK3-beta for ubiquitination of Int3 in response to Gleevec treatment. In addition we are mutating the serine/threonine residues at the C-terminus of Int3 to assess the phosphorylation site(s) of GSK3-beta and its role in the degradation of Int3 by Gleevec. The R-spondin (Rspo) protein family consists of four homologous members that are dynamically expressed during embryogenesis and have important roles in development. Rspo2 and Rspo3 are CIS for MMTV preneoplastic mammary hyperplastic alveolar nodules and mammary tumors, respectively. Currently we are developing transgenic mice expressing from MMTV LTR Rspo2 in the mammmary gland to study the biology of its involvement the initiation of mammary tumor mammary tumor development. Our previous studies demonstrated that synergy in Wnt and Rspo2 signaling on conferring on cells the capability for anchorage independent growth and invasion was independent of beta- catenin signaling. Currently we are exploring the Wnt/beta-catenin independent signaling pathways which confer these growth properties on cells.

Stayed the night before an overland tour and the 'no frills' operation has made it to Jo'burg. Check-in was tortuous as despite having a voucher for 2 rooms they had logged us in for 1 room and took some persauding the voucher was correct. Given it's not easy to go out at night staying somewhere with no food & beverage offering isn't great when you arrive in the evening after a day's travelling (in the rain). The delivery options were pretty basic and all involved an hour's wait - we gave up. Still the breakfast was good.
