ATLANTA --- Jeff Francoeur's trade to the New York Mets hit home on Thursday when he returned to his Atlanta hometown.
"Now the one team you're never supposed to like, you're on," Francoeur said of the Mets before Thursday night's game against his former Atlanta Braves teammates.
The Braves traded Francoeur to the Mets for Ryan Church on Friday in an exchange of right fielders.
Francoeur started for the Mets and had an RBI in Atlanta's 5-3 victory. Braves manager Bobby Cox started Matt Diaz instead of Church in right field against Mets left-hander Oliver Perez.
"From talking with Bobby, there's a lot of left-handers in this division, and he did tell me I'm going to be playing against a lot of them," Church said.
"He's not going to get any complaints from me. I'm here to be a piece of the puzzle. I'll show up every day and expect to be in the lineup, and if not come off the bench."
Church's attitude has already impressed Cox.
"He's a gamer," Cox said. "I've heard that and now I see it all over him."
Francoeur said Cox deserves some credit for his 4-for-9 start in his first two games with the Mets. Francoeur said he received some late tips from Cox on Friday morning in Colorado before the trade was announced.
"Bobby helped me make some adjustments," Francoeur said. "We watched some film that morning."
Cox and Mets manager Jerry Manuel talked during batting practice on Thursday.
"We just hope he gets back to the 100 RBI days he had in Atlanta," said Manuel of Francoeur, who was hitting .250 with five homers and 35 RBI at the time of the trade.

Gardens by the Sea with Eugene Higgins
Wednesday, 28 March 2007
Every gardener should consider their climate as working with climate can determine whether the results of your gardening season will be blasé or blooming.
As pleasant as living close to the ocean can be, coastal gardens present several climate-related challenges, mainly wind, salt, and sandy soil. To be successful you need to know how you should compensate for the particular conditions of your seaside location. It's important to use plant species adapted to the environment of the coast. Eugene is here today to give his advice and top tips for coastal gardens. He will then suggest examples of plants that thrive in these conditions.
Living in Ireland means that you have a good chance of living somewhere near the coast.
Depending on how close you are to the sea and how exposed your garden is, there are several problems you will need to deal with in coastal garden. These problems are wind, salt and sandy soil.
A barrier that prevents or slows down the prevailing wind is almost essential in a coastal garden. If you have the space, growing a mixture of hardy salt and wind tolerant trees and shrubs (especially those native to the area) as frontline protection is the best long-term windbreak. Adding organic materials to the soil, using surface mulches and slow release fertilisers as well as drip irrigation, plastic or shade cloth tree guards and wetting agents if necessary will all help plants establish and grow. And many plants once established can withstand quite severe conditions.
Eugene's Top Tips
1) Planting a hedge to create a barrier from the winds is important if you can't afford wall. Giselinia/ Escallonia are a good choice. (Eugene will have in studio)
2) Hosing down plants with ordinary water during the winter when it's dry will remove some of the salt from the sea air that burns plants.
3) Every area is different so look at the gardens around your area and identify what plants are doing well and copy this!
Coastal Garden Plants
Eugene will talk us through 6 plants that are suited to a coastal garden.
1. Hebe james Stirling €10.95
This plant is a compact grower, first erects then arching, and twisted with ochre-yellow leaves to 1/8 inch long. White flowers in small racemes to 3/4 inch long in late spring and early summer. They are low to medium in height. This hebe is more attractive in the winter. They are an evergreen plant and they are suitable for coastal and rock gardens and are also good container plants. Most Hebos are very low maintenance needing little or no pruning.
2. Aucuba Japonica Variegated €8.95
Japanese Aucuba is native from the Himalayas to Japan. Many forms exist due to the variances in the seedlings. Differences include smaller leaf sizes, elongated leaves, and variegated foliage. Gold Dust Aucuba is one of the most popular variegated forms available today. Leaves are large, leathery, and dark green in color. The name Gold Dust comes from the variegation pattern, it looks as if someone sprinkled gold dust on the leaves, making a striking plant for the landscape. Aucubas have both male and female plants; the males have yellow anthers while the females have red/purple flowers followed by red berries, so if you want berries, be sure to get a female! Aucuba japonica 'Variegata' is a great choice for even the shadiest of landscapes because it is extremely shade tolerant. This plant not only does well in coastal areas but also does well in smoggy polluted areas.
3. Cordyline Australis €10.95
Origin: New Zealand
Common in gardens of Northern Ireland, especially near the coast. Fast-growing, and easy to cultivate. It can reach a height of up to 20m, often much-branched with many growing points. Evergreen trees produce sweetly scented flowers, and abundant fruit and seed. There are several cultivars available, with leaf colouration ranging from yellow- and red-veined, to deep red.
4. Feijoa Sellowiana €9.95
The grafted Feijoas should start producing within a couple of years; seedlings can take 4 to 6 years or more. The flowers come in late spring and have fleshy petals that are slightly sweet with an interesting delicate flavor. These petals can be added to salads. Drought resistant once established, but lack of water will cause fruit to drop, does not like to be kept too wet. You won't find this plant in every garden centre. It's origins are in South America.
5. New Zealand Flax (Phormium) €14.95
The Phormium likes a deep, fertile soil, rich in organic matter. The flowers of the New-Zealand Flax come in summer. They are tubular, come in large panicles, and can measure up to 15 feet tall (4.5 m). They need only little to moderate water once established. They are the soldier of the garden.
6. Grevillea €10.95 - a fab plant
Grevilleas can be seen in flower at most times of the year but winter to early spring would be the peak flowering period. Following flowering, thin-walled seed pods develop, each containing one or two seeds. The pods open when the seed is mature. Seeds often have a papery wing to allow them to be distributed by the wind but this is not a universal feature. The majority of grevilleas occur in areas where bushfires are relatively frequent. Although a few can regenerate from lignotubers or epicormic buds after a fire, most are killed by fire and rely on seed germination for their continued survival.
One of the great features of grevilleas in gardens (apart from the colourful flowers) is that many attract honey-eating birds which act as pollinators for the plants. A number of species rely on other methods of pollination, eg, beetles, moths, bees, ants, and even small marsupials.
**Most of these plants could be planted in windy or exposed sites inland also.
Good Cause Garden Makeover
The Afternoon Show gardener Eugene Higgins is searching for a plot of land to be transformed for the good of the neighbouring community.
The good cause garden makeover aims to transform a piece of unused ground into an Eden for all living in the vicinity to benefit.
It could be a piece of waste ground in an estate, or grounds beside a school, nursing home or hospital.
Eugene and his team will, over several weeks, transform waste barren land into a rural idyll. And viewers of the Afternoon Show will watch the transformation unfold, with a grand garden opening in May.
To enter:
Please send us photos of the plot of land, a detailed description of where it is, and who would benefit if it was transformed. Also include a contact name and number
We need to know the size and aspect of the plot, name and contact details of the owner of the land, and who would benefit in the local community if it were transformed.
Send entries to either email email@example.com or by post:

WOODBURY — A strong second half and a big advantage at the free throw line carried Stillwater to a 68-60 Suburban East Conference boys' basketball victory over 10th-ranked East Ridge on Tuesday night.
The Ponies (5-3 SEC, 9-4) trailed by three points at halftime, but used a 41-30 run in the second half to knock East Ridge (6-2, 12-3) out of a tie with Roseville (7-1, 13-3) atop the conference standings.
"They've been playing awfully well so this was huge," Ponies coach Randy Jordan said. "We knew it was going ot be tough and this was a little bit of a confidence builder to come away with a win on that floor."
The Raptors jumped out to an eight-point lead early, but Tony Lennox helped rally Stillwater off the bench with two 3-pointers. Stillwater took the lead early in the second half and never gave it back while limiting putting the clamps down on East Ridge defensively.
"We picked up the tempo the second half," Jordan said. "We held them to 15 points the first 14 or 15 minutes of the second half."
Stillwater drained six 3-pointers, but did much of its damage inside with Andrew Duxbury (16), Joe Quinn (12) and Chad Schlosser (10) scoring most of their points from close range. Matt Anderson finished with just five points, but also collected several assists while battling against East Ridge's 6-foot-8 post player Conrad Sexe and 6-9 reserve Ryan Keenan.
Duxbury converted 10-12 attempts at the free throw line and the Ponies outscored East Ridge from there 22-6 overall.
East Ridge's Jake Knupp drained three 3-pointers and finished with 23 points to lead all scorers.
Stillwater 27 41 — 68
East Ridge 30 30 — 60
Stillwater (pts): Sam Lagus 6, Aaron Romportl 8, Andrew Duxbury 16, Tony Lennox 9, Joe Quinn 12, Matt Anderson 5, Chad Schlosser 10 and Joel Malwitz 2.
East Ridge: Brian Ishola 10, Jake Knupp 23, Xavier Cole 6, Sid Tomes 6, Colin Masgai 2, Ryan Mathis 4, Parker Moquist 3 and Conrad Sexe 6.
3-pointers: St (6): Romportl 2, Lennox 3 and Quinn; ER (6): Knupp 3, Cole, Tomes and Moquist.
Free throws: St, 22-29; ER, 6-9.
Fouls: St, 8; ER, 21.

Winter's hearty foods and frosty weather have left many of us with an extra layer of padding that it's time to shed. The good news is that a lot of the spring foods can help you lose weight. Here's a look at some of my favorite slimming spring foods:
Strawberries: Who knew "diet" foods could taste this delicious? But strawberries really are a superfood for weight loss. All those seeds studding the strawberry's surface are packed with fiber — one of the most important factors for weight loss. Fiber helps to add bulk to food, filling you up without adding extra calories, and one cup of strawberries gives you three grams of fiber. If you're wondering just how many pints to devour, women need 25 grams a day, and men need 38.

Going to Aruba on Adventure of the Seas with my wife and 4 kids. Would like to go to just take a taxi to a beach for the day; paying to use a hotel beach ok by me! Any suggestions?
JW when are you going? We leave San Juan on Sunday the 9th.....can't wait. That's what we are looking to do in Aruba also - sit on the beach!
The following Sunday 4/17. If I don't get an answer here, I'll get a guidebook this weekend and see what I can find. I'd like to find a beach to relax on for the day both in Aruba and Curacao! Looking forward to the cruise. JW
Eagle Beach is just north of town in the hotel/resort area and a pretty nice option for a family. There is also a small beach club 1/2 mile south of the port (and depending on the ages of the kids, within walking distance) called Havana Beach Club. there is no charge for the beach chairs or the use of the beach and they have a small pool and nice restaurant/bar that makes for a great day.
Eagle Beach is very nice and there are plenty of public beach areas.
You may want to consider renting a car. We did this on Aruba and enjoyed exploring the island in addition to going to the beach.
You can pick up a rental car right at the port and it is a very easy island to drive on.
JW. The cruise ship terminal in Aruba is very organised and secure. The taxis do not have meters but have regulated fares. The fares are posted outside the terminal. It cost $10 from the terminal to the high rise hotels. They are on Palm beach and it is beautiful. We spent a few hours on the beach then used a hotel phone to call a cab back to the ship.
Have a Great time.

Intimate Knowledge
Recent literature on "local knowledge" has left the term "local" largely unexamined. In this paper, I bring into view theoretical and ethnographic material that points to the relationality of the local and consider what this might mean for an understanding of local knowledge. What does a relational local knowledge look like? In response to the distance of this reconfigured concept from conventional notions of locality and in an attempt to resist localisation, I suggest that much might be gained by rethinking local knowledge and its production as a form of intimacy.

Hey there, time traveller!
This article was published 11/6/2012 (1897 days ago), so information in it may no longer be current.
These days, 50 cents won't buy you much -- but it will buy you a quick trip back in time, courtesy of the English-style telephone booth just outside the downtown Elephant & Castle Pub and Restaurant.
Ornate, lined with glass windows and equipped with a fully functioning pay phone, this red relic is one of the few surviving telephone booths in Winnipeg.
Upon close watch of the booth, it becomes clear why.
"I wanted to go in there and try a phone booth," said Charlie McKay, the booth's sole visitor during a busy weekday lunch hour. "I'd never been inside one before and wanted to know what it was like."
McKay had his own cellphone and didn't pay the 50 cents to make a call.
Over the course of an hour, the time-warped telephone was surrounded by busy professionals, smoking, visiting, talking on their cellphones and giving the poor thing little attention.
It's a clunky if not charming reminder of times past.
"It's kind of a decoration, but it doesn't really get used," said Diego Moncado, manager of the Elephant & Castle, which is located in the Delta Winnipeg Hotel on St. Mary Avenue. "The phone booth itself is becoming just for novelty."
While Maxwell Smart, Bill and Ted, and Superman have all found creative uses for this technology, phone booths are becoming less and less common in Winnipeg.
MTS spokeswoman Jessica Poitras estimated while there are more than 2,400 MTS coin-operated phones in the city, only 12 of the four-walled booths remain.
Was this what street artist Banksy was getting at when he artfully murdered a red-box London telephone booth, sticking a pickaxe in its slumped remains? Oh, the tele-humanity.
And the landline could be the next dinosaur to go. Recent Statistics Canada figures show non-wireless telephones provide an increasingly less popular service. Between 2002 and 2010, fixed-line telephone expenses dropped 32 per cent, with cellphone expenses rising 189 per cent. Statistics Canada also reported household spending on landlines has decreased every year since 2002. Cellphone spending, on the other hand, surpassed fixed-line spending in 2009.
Moncado estimated the throwback telephone booth has been outside the business for 15 years, and while the Elephant & Castle used to receive a royalty cheque, they have not received one in years, as the booth is almost never used.
But McKay, the retro's booth's lone visitor, isn't so quick to sing the telephone booth's swan song.
"They should be around for a younger generation to see where cellphones came from. It shows our history and culture," he said.
Meanwhile, there is a use for this nostalgia-soaked artifact that the common smartphone doesn't offer.
"I see a lot of people posing for pictures with it," said Jesse, a Delta Winnipeg Hotel employee who asked that his last name not be used. "It's a lot of fun for people. It's a cool-looking thing."
Dropping In is a 'random act of journalism' that starts with a thumbtack on a city map and ends with a story from the street.

In The Master's Garden
more life lessons learned through gardening
de Janet Payne Benson
Acerca del libro
Christian devotional writings and plant photography for gardeners and plant lovers, this book is a mix of devotional and coffee table book.
During the author's times gardening she learned many of what she considers to be her life's most memorable lessons. Weeding, dead-heading, mulching, pruning, planting; these are the times she was most likely to hear that still, small voice revealing a simple, yet profound truth, always in an analogy of what she was doing with the plants or the soil. Those truths changed the way she lives her life, the manner in which she relates to her family, the way she views the lives of others, and especially her relationship with God.
In this book, she shares some of her favorite stories, revelations, blessings, memories, and photos of her plants.

Knowing what type of assets you may contribute or transfer into a Roth IRA can save you a great deal of time and trouble. There are many rules pertaining to IRA contributions that must be obeyed in order to avoid unnecessary penalties and problems. Some of these rules address the manner and nature of the types of contributions that may be made into these accounts.
Roth IRA Contributions
All contributions to Roth (and traditional) IRAs must be made in cash. Assets cannot be contributed in-kind into either type of IRA under any circumstances. Stocks, bonds, mutual funds, CDs, bonds or securities of any kind must therefore be liquidated and the proceeds used as contributions. The same goes for tangible assets, such as precious metals, collectibles and real estate.
Transfers to Roth IRAs
Any asset that is currently held in a traditional or Roth IRA can be transferred into another Roth account with no problem. This is a standard procedure that is commonly done every day by hundreds of financial institutions. It is not necessary to liquidate assets in order to transfer them from one account to another.
Roth Conversion Transfers
All assets that are held inside a traditional IRA that is converted to a Roth IRA can also be transferred as is. No liquidation of assets is necessary in order for the conversion to take place. As the IRA owner, you can liquidate the assets if you so choose, but it is not a requirement by the IRS.
Transfers From Retail Account to Roth IRA
Any assets that are placed inside a taxable retail account must be liquidated before being transferred to a traditional or Roth IRA. In-kind transfers between taxable accounts and IRAs unconditionally disallowed by the IRS. Of course, cash may be taken out of a taxable account and transferred to a traditional or Roth IRA in the form of a cash contribution, but that is not considered a transfer per se.
Taxation and Contribution Limitations
There are limits on the amounts that may be contributed to both traditional and Roth IRAs each year. Therefore, those who need to liquidate holdings inside a taxable account in order to generate cash for these contributions should know how much they need to sell in order to arrive at the correct amount. For example, it will not be necessary to sell $20,000 worth of stock in a taxable account in order to make a Roth IRA contribution in 2010, since the contribution limit into any IRA in 2010 is $5,000 (or $6,000 for those age 50 and above.) Selling securities in a taxable account to procure cash for IRA contributions is also a taxable event in and of itself that will generate either a taxable gain or declarable loss. Consider this factor if you decide to liquidate current holdings for this reason.

In 2006, when Pádraig Whooley and Lorraine Dufficey spent €265 thousand on their remote cottage at Rossmore in West Cork, they knew that - while the hilltop location was ideal - the house was far from it.
The cottage is cramped and claustrophobic. The kitchen is tiny, it has one drawer and three presses, their living room is freezing and their bedrooms dark. Apart from all that there is another good reason why they want to improve their home,"We'd like to have a family in the future so we need to make it a bit bigger" Lorraine.
When Dermot first takes a look at their cottage he doesn't hold back "It's probably one of the cheapest constructions I've ever seen. I am tempted to ask why would you live up here?".
All becomes clear when Pádraig and Lorraine advise him to climb up on the ditch beside their house. "When you get yourself up on a high level on the site the house takes on a whole new meaning because the views are spectacular".
Now for €100,000 Dermot must completely gut the old cottage, double its size and somehow elevate it?
From the very first day of construction there are problems, extra windows are needed, the joists supporting the roof have to be replaced and a soakaway - a drain for floodwater, is found where it shouldn't be. Despite all the setbacks Lorraine manages to remain optimistic - "We're just hoping that on day one they found all the awful stuff they could possibly find and they won't find anymore"
Unfortunately only a few weeks into the build things are taken out of everyone's hands. On the 20th of November wide spread flooding following torrential rain hits the country. In West Cork houses and many villages are evacuated and roads are closed.
Exposed on top of a hill, Lorraine & Pádraig's cottage doesn't escape the onslaught. With all the rain came wind and one part of their new home collapses.
By early January, the weather takes another turn for the worse. Met Eireann issue severe weather warnings, snow and freezing conditions stall the build once again. On site one day Lorraine has had enough "I feel a little bit sick every time I come up here because I think, you know, are we going to survive this?"
Lorraine and Pádraig don't survive - they triumph. Room to Improve this Wednesday 12th May at 8.30pm on RTE1.

IUI 2013 - International Conference on Intelligent User Interfaces.
Event Description
IUI is where the community of people interested in Human-Computer Interaction (HCI) meets the Artificial Intelligence (AI) community. We are very interested in contributions that bridge these two fields and also related fields, such as psychology, cognitive science, computer graphics, the arts, etc. IUI researchers are interested in improving the symbiosis between humans and computers, so that interface design and interactive experiences yield higher performance outcomes. This may involve designing interfaces that incorporate intelligent automated capabilities, if the net impact is a human-computer interaction that improves performance or usability in critical ways. It may also involve designing an interface that effectively leverages human skills and capabilities, so that human performance with an application excels. In other cases, such as educational interface design, it may involve exercising judgment in when not to automate a function so that humans are encouraged to exert themselves as they acquire new skills or domain knowledge.

L.A. Suicide Jumper Apparently Leaps From 405 Ramp Onto 105 Freeway During Rush Hour
The jumper reportedly leaped from a flyover ramp.
Updated at the bottom with a witness description.
Commuters on the 105 West this morning called up KNX news radio to report -- of all things -- a dead body in the slow lane.
Although we don't have many details yet, a California Highway Patrol spokesman does confirm that "we have what appears to be an attempted suicide" near where the 405 and the 105 convene near LAX.
According to the CHP, the apparent suicide jumper stopped his or her car on a 405 South flyover ramp around 8:50 a.m. -- then "possibly jumped" off the overpass as traffic whizzed by on the 105 below.

"The coroner has been contacted and requested to the scene," says the CHP spokesman. Police have also arrived to investigate a "fatal accident," according to KNX.
As of 10:15 a.m., the 405 off-ramp that leads to the 105 West was still closed.
The spot where the jumper apparently chose to take his or her life is a multilayered tangle of freeways, ramps and surface streets -- one of the most stacked intersections in all of Los Angeles.

Updates to come as we receive them. If you saw the accident, or know what happened this morning, please let us know.
Update, 11:20 a.m.: LA Weekly reader John K. Goodman sends us this description of what he saw at the scene.
There were a ton of cops at the very top of the 105E ramp surrounding an empty silver SUV. They were not looking at the SUV though, they were all looking over the side of the ramp at something down below.
After exiting I followed the surface streets back to the site and got a photo right after I saw the coroner wheeling a zipped-up body bag into the coroners van. Apparently, whoever it was jumped from the very apex of the top ramp and landed not on the ground, but on another ramp below. There is another car stopped with police on the lower ramps and I can only speculate that the unfortunate driver of that car may have had a Die Hard moment with a falling suicidal person impacting their car or being hit soon after impact.
Goodman also took a couple photos of the accident. "Ugh," he says via email. "Definitely an L.A. way to go."

Ask a Lawyer and Get Answers to Your Legal Questions
There is a section in RI's Rules of Professional Conduct that gives me great pause. I will show you it but think I want to stop at this point and get instate help. This is far too important for me to proceed without any confidence in what I am doing. These are RI's Rules: http://www.courts.ri.gov/supreme/pdf-files/Rules_Of_Professional_Conduct.pdf
This is the section in question:
Limiting Liability and Settling Malpractice Claims
[14] Agreements prospectively limiting a lawyer's liability for malpractice are prohibited unless
the client is independently represented in making the agreement because they are likely to
undermine competent and diligent representation. Also, many clients are unable to evaluate the
desirability of making such an agreement before a dispute has arisen, particularly if they are
then represented by the lawyer seeking the agreement. Paragraph (h)(1) does not, however,
prohibit a lawyer from entering into an agreement with the client to arbitrate legal malpractice
claims, provided such agreements are enforceable and the client is fully informed of the scope
and effect of the agreement. Nor does this paragraph limit the ability of lawyers to practice in
the form of a limited-liability entity, where permitted by law, provided that each lawyer remains
personally liable to the client for his or her own conduct and the firm complies with any
conditions required by law, such as provisions requiring client notification or maintenance of
adequate liability insurance. Nor does it prohibit an agreement in accordance with Rule 1.2 that
defines the scope of the representation, although a definition of scope that makes the obligations
of representation illusory will amount to an attempt to limit liability.
Thank you anyway.

LeRoy Gishi, Chief, Division of Transportation
The Division of Transportation provides management and oversight of the road maintenance and road construction programs for the Bureau of Indian Affairs in Indian Country. Transportation-related program activities are provided directly and through contracts, grants, compacts and other appropriate agreements to American Indian and Alaska Natives including:
- Operation and Maintenance of Bureau of Indian Affairs (BIA) roads;
- Tribal Transportation Program (TTP); and
- Programs administered through the Federal Highway Administration that are specifically related to TTPs.
Operation and Maintenance
Under the operation and maintenance of BIA roads, transportation facilities located on Indian Reservations and within tribal communities are maintained. Roads maintenance program funds are administered at the BIA Region offices for the maintenance of roads identified as part of the BIA roads system. The BIA road system is part of the National Tribal Transportation Facility Inventory (NTTFI). As public roads, BIA roads and bridges are often major corridors that provide access for tribal communities through which medical, educational, commercial and recreational services and opportunities are delivered or made available to tribal members and the general public. In addition, Tribal Transportation Facilities (all other public roads) also provide access to Indian communities, trust and fee lands. As a public authority, the BIA is responsible for the maintenance and improvement of BIA roads and bridges. The broad definition of BIA roads includes all transportation-related facilities used in surface transportation such as: roads, bridges, ferry terminals, ferry boats, trails, boardwalks, primitive roads and administrative roads to BIA agency offices.
Road maintenance activities include the following functions: road maintenance, routine maintenance, bridge maintenance, snow and ice removal, emergency maintenance, ferry boat operation and program management.
Ferry boat operation is limited to a facility located in the Northwest Region in the state of Washington.
Road maintenance for the BIA is defined as the preservation of the roadway template and related structures in the as-built condition. It does not include new construction, improvement or reconstruction as an eligible activity. It is the policy of the BIA Road Maintenance Program to preserve, repair, and restore the BIA system of roadways and transportation facilities in accordance with Federal, State, Tribal, and Local laws, as applicable. The BIA is mandated to maintain roads, and transportation facilities constructed with Highway Trust Funds.
Many of these BIA roads are in failing to fair condition and are not built to any adequate design standard and have safety deficiencies. In FY 2012, approximately 5,150 mils, or 17%, were considered to be in acceptable condition based on the BIA Service Level Index condition assessment criteria. The remaining roads, 23,850 miles, or 83%, were in unacceptable condition. Many of these roads are used today for vehicular traffic even though the roads were never planned or designed for that use.
Today, approximately 29,500 miles and 930 bridges are identified as BIA roads in the NTTFI, including other appurtenances such as roadway signs, protective devices, guide posts, various drainage structures, fencing and one ferry boat system.
The Tribal Transportation Program addresses transportation needs of tribes by providing funds for planning, designing, construction, and maintenance activities for all public roads. The program is jointly administered by the Federal Highway Administration's Federals Lands Highway Office (FHWA) and the BIA, Division of Transportation, in accordance with an interagency agreement. The current highway authorization act is Moving Ahead for Progress in the 21st Century (MAP-21) and codified in Title 23 U.S.C. § 202. The regulations for the Tribal Transportation Program are published at 25 C.F.R. Part 170, but the BIA is currently engaged in revising Part 170 to bring the regulation into compliance with MAP-21, changes in the delivery of the tribal transportation, and to address concerns that have arisen since the rule was issued in 2004.
The Tribal Transportation Facilities are public roads which provide access to and within Indian reservations, Indian trust land, restricted Indian land, and Alaska native villages. The inventory of proposed and existing roads in the NTTFI is approximately 157,000 miles. Approximately 31,400 miles are BIA system roads, 26,000 miles of Tribal system roads, and 101,000 miles that are under State and local ownership. Tribal Transportation Program funds can be used for eligible Title 23 transportation related activities on tribal transportation facility and may also be used for the State/local matching share for apportioned Federal-aid Highway Funds.
The BIA and Tribal governments undertake most of the design and construction of Tribal Transportation Program projects. Under tribal self-determination contracts, self-governance agreements, FHWA Program Agreements or other appropriate agreements, Tribal governments can perform, administer and operate portions or all but "inherently Federal functions" of the TTP.

Earlier in the evening, the Republican House leadership had been confident they could make the members of their caucus vote for the tax increase. But they miscalculated.
"Plan B" would have violated the pledge almost all House Republicans have made to the American people to oppose any and all efforts to increase the marginal income tax rates. It would have done so by increasing the tax rate on income over $1 million after Jan. 1.
"The House did not take up the tax measure today because it did not have sufficient support from our members to pass," Boehner said in a statement released late Thursday.
"Now it is up to the president to work with Senator Reid on legislation to avert the fiscal cliff," Boehner said.
Conservative Rep. Tim Huelskamp (R.-Kan.), a freshman and Tea Party advocate, was one of the leaders in the revolt against Boehner. Earlier this month, the House Republican leadership, acting through its Steering Committee, stripped Huelskamp and Rep. Justin Amash and Rep. David Schweikert from committee memberships. Huelskamp, Amash and Schweikert believed they were stripped of their memberships because of their conservative voting records. Boehner and the Republican leaders, however, never clarified why they punished the conservative lawmakers.
"Republicans should not be forced to vote for a 'show' bill that asks us to compromise on our principles," Huelskamp said after Boehner cancelled the vote on Plan B.
"On a separate note," said Huelskamp, "Republican leadership thought they could silence conservatives when they kicked us off our committees. I'm glad that enough of my colleagues refused to back down after the threats and intimidation, thus preventing the conference from abandoning our principles."
In the first hour of his nationally syndicated radio program on Thursday, which began at 6:00 p.m. Eastern time, Mark Levin interviewed Rep. Jim Jordan (R.-Ohio), the chair of the House Republican Study Committee, which is the caucus of conservative Republicans in the House. Levin was an outspoken opponent of Boehner's plan, and Jordan used his appearance on the program to explain his opposition to it. At that time, Jordan said he did not know how the vote on Boehner's plan (which at that point was still on) would turn out.

China Lifts Target for Renewable Energy Use
Date: 08-Nov-05
Country: CHINA
Renewable energy should account for 15 percent of national consumption by 2020, Vice Premier Zeng Peiyan said at an international conference on renewable energy in Beijing.
China had previously aimed to get 10 percent of its energy from renewable sources by 2020, though the 15 percent figure had been mentioned as a possibility as Beijing has talked about getting away from polluting fossil fuels and soaring oil prices.
Within overall energy consumption, electrical generating capacity would be even more skewed towards renewable energy, said Zhang Guobao, vice director of the powerful National Development and Reform Commission.
Generators exploiting water, wind and other renewable sources should make up 30 percent of national capacity by 2020, Zhang said.
Hydropower would dominate the renewable generation capacity, his figures suggested. Water-driven generators would be able to generate 290 million kilowatts by that year, while biomass energy capacity would hit 20 million kilowatts, wind 30 million kilowatts and solar 2 million kilowatts, Zhang said.
In February China's parliament passed a renewable energy law that will take effect in January and set tariffs in favour of non-fossil energy such as water, wind and solar power.
But Zeng said coal-based development would still be the main focus in China's power sector.
"At the same time, China will step up domestic oil and gas exploration and develop hydropower in an orderly way," he added.
Coal currently provides some 70 percent of electricity in China, the world's second-largest energy consumer and producer of greenhouse gases.
"Such a coal-based power structure will remain unchanged for a long time," said Zhou Dabing, president and chief executive of state-owned China Guodian Corp., one of the country's "big five" generation groups, though he added China had only enough coal for another 100 years.
"The environmental situation is also very grim and emissions of carbon dioxide, sulphur dioxide and other greenhouse gases are very great," Zhou said.
Other officials stressed that the wide gap between the price of conventional power and green power would need to be closed before renewable electricity could become commonplace.
Last year Guangdong in far southern China became the first province to introduce fixed prices for wind energy.
Zhou called on local governments to implement pricing strategies to encourage use of renewable power and for more technologies to be produced on home ground.
"The high price at the beginning for research and development should be shouldered by society as as whole. Companies involved in research and development should be exempt from value-added tax," he said.

Today, Dr. Julianne Cooper, President and Dean of Liberty Harbor Academy and Felix and Judee Alvarado, Founders and Directors of Straight "A" Academy, released the following statement regarding their recent consolidation:
Realizing the similarities between mission statements and delivery styles, founders of both Liberty Harbor Academy, located in downtown Manchester, and Straight "A" Academy in Bedford, came together to discuss joining forces. After assessing the greatest strengths of both organizations, a new education model was developed. This Spring, Straight "A" Academy will join forces with Liberty Harbor Academy in Manchester. The four members of Straight "A" staff bring academic expertise in World Languages, International Student Programs, Music, PSAT/SAT Prep programs and College Planning. These areas fit in perfectly with the established classical Liberal Arts program offered through Liberty Harbor Academy. Liberty Harbor Academy, known for its strong relationships with downtown businesses and the unique commitment to providing experiences with extended learning opportunities, offers credit-bearing community involvement outside the classroom.
Finally, while Liberty Harbor Academy was founded as a Non-Profit, Straight "A" Academy has been providing both for-profit and not-for-profit education services, receiving official commendation from the Mayor's Office for its work with Manchester students. Both organizations have a history of making educational opportunities accessible to any motivated student who is willing to work hard. Increased time and energy will be focused on fundraising efforts and establishing even more strategic partnerships within the community. Together, they endeavor to train multi-lingual, world-class students who are well-equipped to lead our communities in the future.

"End-stage lung disease occurs when someone loses more than 70 percent of lung function as determined by a pulmonary function test," said Dr. Harish Seethamraju [2], medical director of BCM's lung transplant program.
Causes of lung disease
Lung disease has several causes, including chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), smoking, pulmonary fibrosis, pulmonary hypertension and cystic fibrosis.
Before considering surgery, treatment options such as oxygen therapy, inhalers and oral medications should be tried. However, if these treatments do not work within three months, chances are low that they will be effective, said Seethamraju, also an assistant professor of pulmonary and critical care medicine [3] at BCM.
Early intervention key
Because of scientific advancements, surgeons can handle more complexities in lung transplant patients and can even perform combined organ surgeries such as heart/lung transplants or liver/lung transplants.
The earlier patients are referred to a lung transplant program, the better chances they will have for a lung transplant, said Seethamraju.

Moroccan Skirt Steak W/Roasted Pepper Couscous (ZWT-9)
Recipe by twissis
Entered for ZWT-9, this is the 2nd of 3 recipes from an article at the Eating Well website titled "Healthy Couscous Recipes". Per the recipe intro: "Thin cuts of beef (such as skirt steak or sirloin steak) cook very quickly when seared in a hot skillet -- Just right for a busy weeknight. We love how the spicy Moroccan flavors of the steak compliment the sweet, roasted pepper-studded couscous. Serve w/an Arugula salad & a glass of Pinot Noir." Prep & Cook times were noted as an identical total, but I have allowed an extra 10 min for ingredient assembly. Enjoy!

We just loved this meal! I made this exactly as posted, except I used kalamata olives in place of the green and used 1-1/2 lbs. of skirt steak. The couscous was so flavorful. tangy from the lemon and infused with all the spices. There was more than enough of the spice mixture for the extra 1/2 lb. of steak, which I cooked on the outdoor grill, rather than in a skillet. The steak really absorbed all of the flavors of the spice mixture and produced a very satisfying meal. Thanks for sharing. Made for Spice It Up Challenge of ZWT9 by a Tasty Tester.

REEFS off the Dorset coast are to become protected habitats for marine life.
More than 330 sq kms of reef from Portland to Studland will become the 37th Special Area of Conservation (SAC) in English territorial waters.
The SAC status means the reefs – teeming with marine life such as corals and brightly coloured sponges – will be preserved and protected from damaging human activities.
Natural environment minister Richard Benyon announced the reef's SAC status.
He said: "We are delighted by this long-awaited announcement.
"This is official recognition of the high, indeed international, value of reef habitats on Dorset's seabed and the site will make a significant contribution to the network of marine protected areas around the UK."
The reefs are more than half the size of the New Forest National Park.
They are home to many different marine species, including pink sea fans, cup corals and reef-building mussels.
Peter Tinsley, living seas manager at the Dorset Wildlife Trust, said the Dorset wildlife charity is 'delighted' with the announcement.
He added: "The importance of the site was initially highlighted by the work of hundreds of volunteer divers recording seabed species and habitats through Seasearch, coordinated in Dorset by Dorset Wildlife Trust.
"Subsequent detailed survey work, particularly DWT's DORIS seabed mapping project, has confirmed the extent and quality of reef habitats between Portland and Studland."
Mr Tinsley said there is an 'impressive' variety of marine life living in the reef.
"From extremely tide-swept hard-rock ledges and cliffs off Portland and St Albans Head, with brightly coloured sponges and corals, to low-lying shale ledges, riddled with boring piddocks or carpeted with brittlestars.
"Depths range from the seaweed-rich shallow waters to deep scoured holes, over 100m deep, off Portland Bill ," he added.
Mr Tinsley said the condition of the reef is currently 'very good', because of the sensitive fishing methods used by the local fishermen.
He added: "This designation should now ensure that condition remains good – great news for the creatures living there and for those making a living from the site.
"It is recognition, too, that our underwater landscapes and habitats are as worthy of protection as those on land."

Although I typically dress casually, it's great to have a basic suit when necessary. My knowledge of clothing isn't particularly strong, so I look for items that work.

SINGAPORE (Reuters Life!) - His pouf skirts and fanciful designs have made him a fashion icon, but Christian Lacroix's true love is the arts, with a collection of ballet, opera and theater costumes debuting in Singapore this week.
"Christian Lacroix the costumier" is the first overseas trip for a major collection of costumes and sketches by the French designer, whose work spans two decades and over 25 productions including the operas "Carmen" and "Cosi fan tutte" as well as Shakespeare's "Othello."
"Drawing for dance or for theater allows me to breathe," Lacroix is quoted as saying in one of the exhibition panels at the National Museum of Singapore, which showcases 80 spectacular costumes and 60 illustrations from the designer's own collection and France's Center National du Costume de Scene (CNCS).
Delphine Pinasa, deputy director of the CNCS in Moulins, said the exhibit offers viewers the chance to appreciate Lacroix's signature extravagance in a different light.
"Christian Lacroix often said that if fashion for him was not such a success, he would have done costumes and stage design full-time," she said.
"Even as a child, his mother would take him to the opera and the theater or the ballet, and he would come home and redesign the costumes he saw on stage."
Fittingly displayed in a setting inspired by the experimental "black box" theater, with faint red lighting, the costumes are a feast of colors and textures, ranging from gorgeous 18th century-style gowns made from rich velvets, delicate lace and twinned with modern cropped jackets to outfits made from embroidered paper and textile scraps.
For the ballet, Lacroix creates costumes made of taffetas and velvets that would not look out of place on a catwalk, and extols his love for the tutu.
"I love extravagant things. Tutu is one of them. It's a mad invention, both magical and surreal," an exhibition booklet quotes him as saying. "No designer, no top fashion designer, will ever be able to compete with such a piece of apparel."
Unlike in fashion, where he has free reign over his collections, Lacroix said he listened to the actors and directors when designing costumes "with all humility."
And while haute couture needs to be perfect in every way, stage costumes can be made from materials picked up at flea markets, or even from nylon or paper, he says, adding that the outfits must be striking as well as practical.
"I'm not serving my own universe, but am responsible for illustrating the imaginary word of others, sharing it with inspiration," he explains.
Inspired by everything from classical art to rags, Lacroix has twice won France's national theater honor, the Moliere, for his costume designs for "Phedre" and "Cyrano de Bergerac."
To allow people to fully appreciate the costumes, the National Museum has put most of them in shop windows-style enclosures covered with mesh, not glass, suspended some from the ceiling, where they twirl to music, and set up others in a central space where images of Lacroix's favorite performances are projected on white sheet curtains.
"At this exhibition, people can dream," Pinasa said. "The imagination, the passion that has gone into the costumes is inspirational. It shows anything is possible."
The exhibition is also scheduled to go to Brazil and possibly Moscow, she added.

The Manatee County School Board hosts a workshop today to talk about a report from the state's Auditor General's Office that found misuse of funds and lack of controls during the 2012-13 school year — some of which will threaten the district's financial stability in the future.
At today's 3 p.m. workshop, 215 Manatee Avenue W., Manatee County School District staff will present the report's findings to the board. The report says the misuse of funds and other blunders could cost the district $7.2 million, biting into the $10.3 million the administration is trying to save to meet state-mandated reserves.
The state audit began in March and concluded with the release of the report Nov. 25.
It finds mistakes as far back as 2005.
The district has until Dec. 20 to respond to the report.
District officials believe the costs can be reduced.
The district will receive findings from a second audit by the state, this one on grant-funded programs, later this month.
Later today, at 5:45 p.m., the school board will have its regular scheduled meeting.

I am not an aggressive lane splitter - but I do it - mostly when traffic is below 30 mph (especially when it is stopped, or nearly so, at traffic lights, construction areas, cities, or heavy congestion) and clearances are good. While I know it is legal in CA, I am always wondering if I am going to get a ticket for 'some' infraction by CHP, county, or local police.
Have you ever gotten a ticket while doing lane splitting? And if so, what were the circumstances? Such as, passing on the right, too fast for conditions, crossing a white line, encroaching on a bike lane, not enough clearance, or 'whatever'? Thanks for your input!

Everything was very neat, but for some reason the environment does not encourage the guests to hang out together. I would still recommend this place. Everything just works and I slept very well.

This hostel is the most luxurious I've ever stayed at. The only thing I missed was for the hostel to make it easier for guest to meet up. For example put up a board where guest can write where they are going, so that they can arrange grouped tours if they feel like it. The staff was so nice. I highly recommend this place.

Winnemem Wintu Tribe Urges Feinstein to Withdraw Salmon Killer Legislation
"The actions that are being taken to weaken Endangered Species Act protections are an affront to the Tribal nations of the State of California," said Mark Franco, headman of the Winnemem Wintu Tribe. "They violate the spirit of the treaties signed and consultative processes that California Indians have fought for centuries to ensure remain in place."

Winnemem Wintu Tribe Urges Feinstein to Withdraw Salmon Killer Legislation
By Dan Bacher
The Winnemem Wintu (McCloud River) Tribe of northern California today joined environmental organizations and fishing groups in strongly opposing legislation sponsored by Senator Dianne Feinstein to waive Endangered Species Act (ESA) protections for imperiled Central Valley Chinook salmon.
Feinstein has attached an amendment to a jobs stimulus bill that would increase pumping to subsidized corporate agribusiness in the San Joaquin Valley. The amendment would convert the "jobs bill" into a "job killer bill" that would result in the destruction of California and Oregon's once vibrant salmon fishing industry.
"The actions that are being taken to weaken Endangered Species Act protections are an affront to the Tribal nations of the State of California," said Mark Franco, headman of the Winnemem Wintu Tribe. "They violate the spirit of the treaties signed and consultative processes that California Indians have fought for centuries to ensure remain in place. These proposed actions and the failure of the government to even once engage in any discussion with the first people of this state regarding water rights and needs of tribal reservations, rancherias and communities is offensive and a slap in the face of all people of this state who believe in the truth behind the bromide 'one nation under god, with liberty and justice for all.'"
"I urge you to ensure that the voice of the 'regular' citizens of this great state be heard and that the voice of 'big business and the almighty dollar' be hushed so that you hear the voice of the salmon, for whom we speak, to penetrate your heart and mind, unpolluted by the words of those who only seek riches for themselves and nothing for their relatives," emphasized Franco.
The legislation is being proposed as the tribe is planning to travel to New Zealand from March 19 to April 2, 2010 to conduct ceremonies to pray for the return of winter run Chinook salmon, now thriving in New Zealand, to the McCloud River.
"We are going to New Zealand to dance for the salmon and pray for their return, since it is the McCloud River salmon that live in the Rakaia River in New Zealand now," said Caleen Sisk-Franco, Chief and Spiritual Leader of the tribe. "They were taken there in 1875 from the McCloud River. However, before we can even get enough money and all the clearances for our regalia for our trip, it looks like Senator Feinstein is cooking the books with Westlands Water District and will sell out all the water, leaving the salmon to die."
Sisk-Franco urged everybody concerned about the fate of salmon and people to take action to stop Feinstein from ramrodding her salmon and job killer amendment through the Senate.
"It is more than just salmon that will die, for they are the climate changers," said Sisk-Franco. "Senator Feinstein wants to kill them without even a thought of the imperative job they do for water and all life. Without them there won't be a prayer for pure, clean water."
Rather than supporting legislation like this at the behest of agribusiness giant Stewart Resnick, owner of Paramount Farms, and the Westlands Water District, Feinstein should be introducing legislation that will restore salmon and other imperiled fish populations and fishing jobs. Central Valley fall Chinook populations collapsed to a new record low of 39,000 fish in 2009, the result of massive Delta water exports, declining water quality and other factors.
Strong protections for the Delta ecosystem could help recover the salmon fishery, returning $1.4 billion to the California economy and 94,000 new jobs to California. An amendment to waive the requirements under the Endangered Species Act could lead to the permanent closure of this fishery, with long-term job losses and enormous economic damage. Such a suspension would likewise harm the Delta family farmers who rely on clean Delta water to irrigate their crops.
Besides sponsoring her job killer amendment, Feinstein is collaborating with Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger, Senate President Pro Tem Darrell Steinberg, Westlands Water District and the Metropolitan Water District in plans to build a peripheral canal and new dams. The peripheral canal is likely to result in the extinction of Central Valley salmon, Delta smelt, longfin smelt, green sturgeon, southern resident killer whales and other species that depend upon a healthy Delta ecosystem to thrive.
"The peripheral canal is a big, stupid idea that doesn't make any sense from a tribal environmental perspective," said Franco. "Building a canal to save the Delta is like a doctor inserting an arterial bypass from your shoulder to your hand– it will cause your elbow to die just like taking water out of the Delta through a peripheral canal will cause the Delta to die."
There are two immediate things that you can do to save the salmon and the lives and jobs that depend upon them.
First, Friends of the River urges you to call Senator Feinstein's DC office before 2 pm Pacific time at (202) 224-3841! If you get a busy signal or would prefer to call one of her California offices you can reach her in San Francisco at (415) 393-0707 or Los Angeles at (310) 914-7300.
Second, you can financially support the tribe's trip to New Zealand by going to: http://apps.facebook.com/causes/440954. All donations are greatly appreciated to enable the tribe to go on this historic trip!

Lily Collins Signs On For Writers
With Logan Lerman and Kristen Bell
Lily Collins is clearly not looking to hang around the house or take up pottery now that she's no longer starring in the Evil Dead reboot. That's for wimps: she's in talks to star in Shakespearian update Rosaline and will report next week to the North Carolina set of Josh Boone's Writers along with Logan Lerman, Kristen Bell, Nat Wolff and Liana Liberato.
Boone, who is making his directorial debut from his own script, already has Greg Kinnear and Jennifer Connelly starring as a famous novelist and the ex-wife he's obsessed with. Collins is on to play their college-aged daughter who finds herself the subject of romantic obsession courtesy of fellow student Lerman.
A blend of comedy and drama, Writers will apparently spin several interweaving stories of the various family members and other people in their lives. And if you've been itching to win a movie trivia contest by knowing which film features not only Arnold Schwarzenegger's teenage sprog Patrick but also author Stephen King in a cameo, Writers has you covered. You're welcome, pub quiz fans.

My friend is convinced that you can tell if a Thai restaurant is going to be good by whether or not the proprietors proudly display a portrait of the royal family, the presence of the royal family a sure sign of quality. This same friend has a lot of other more farfetched theories, but for me this one has often held true. His Majesty King Bhumibol Adulyadej came to the throne in 1946. Deeply loved, he is the longest reigning monarch in the world.
He's nowhere I saw at the year-old Thai Spice. The theory is shot because Thai Spice is a fabulous find. Owner Supattra Head and staff possess a dazzling use of bright chilies, cool basil and luscious coconut milk. The menu is not surprising, not filled with exotica. It is largely composed of the familiar pad Thai, green chicken curry and the like.
But here's a tip: The kitchen likes things hot, but it's a deep, nuanced kind of spiciness that builds slowly and is mellowed by herbs and peanuts and tiny salted shrimp.
Think "medium spice" when you approach the tom yum soup ($3.95 cup), a little cup filled with pink-tinged clear broth, button mushrooms, and your choice of chicken or veggies. Twigs of lemongrass, hunks of galangal and sly chili sauce infuse the sweet-sourness. Yum beef and larb gai (both $6.95) are delicious salads, packed with lettuce, cukes and red onion with a fish-sauce pow, the latter (ground chicken) sporting a neat crunchy texture imparted by rice powder.
Curries can be made with your choice of chicken, pork, veggies or tofu ($8.95), beef, shrimp or squid ($9.95), scallops or seafood combo ($15.95) — ask which one makes the most sense with a particular sauce. I liked the richer panang best. It's sweeter and creamier than the others, but with good heat and chopped peanuts in the reddish sauce.
Don't stop at the curries, though, because the menu continues with a long list of more exotic dishes, many of them worth note (but significantly more expensive). Whole fresh red snapper ($21.95-$24.95) comes two ways, either topped with sweet-burn chili sauce (delicious) or busier with cucumbers, cashews and pineapple.
Most dishes make great leftovers at home the next day. Good to know since dessert is a must. Perhaps one of the world's perfect foods: a disc of sticky rice, topped with a drizzle of faintly jasmine-scented coconut milk and surrounded by fans of heady-ripe mango. King Bhumibol Adulyadej may not be smiling down from the wall, but if there's any justice, Thai Spice will have a similarly long run.
