Epix CEO Mark Greenberg does not want to be the next Napster. He's got big plans for making his movie channel a vital competitor to the HBOs, Showtimes and Starzes of the world. This month Epix is showing the Marvel superhero movies leading up to The Avengers: Iron Man 2, Thor and Captain America: The First Avenger. At a luncheon with the press, Greenberg showed off the Xbox interface for Epix and the Epix iPad app. We sat down with Greenberg to geek out over cable TV menus and get the real scoop on their upcoming original movie plans.
CraveOnline: How did you get the Marvel movies from the mainstay pay channels like HBO and Showtime?
Mark Greenberg: Well, Paramount owns our channel. They're a major owner of who we are so what happens is every pay outlet has its exclusive deals. Showtime has a deal with Weinstein and CBS Films. Starz has it with Disney and Sony, and HBO has it with Warner Brothers, Universal and Fox. We have Paramount, Lionsgate and MGM and then smaller ones with Goldwyn and Roadside.
I remember when Paramount switched from HBO to Showtime.
The '80s.
So now they've gotten into business for themselves?
Well, listen, part of it was a combination of reasons but the most important one is that we all saw an emerging audience on the internet. When we created this venture four years ago this month, it was really with the eye that the world's evolving, the world is changing and if we don't find ways to make the content available in a legal way, an honest way and one they can monetize, then it's going to get stolen. Go see Napster and the music industry, right? So I think it was really protecting its intellectual property, saying we need to find ways to let honest people be honest. To that end, a better way to do it was to not lease your content but own your content and sell it through there. So Marvel was obviously part of the Paramount deals they've done.
It's a good things all the pre-Avengers movies were before they switched to Disney so you could have this Marvel Heroes Weekend.
But The Avenger is also going to be on Epix. It might be a year from now but that's part of why we're able to do a big stunt around it and help support the campaign. We think that our prequel advertising, part of this is we're building this as a business because we think it's the right way to reach a younger demographic group that wants to watch it on that device. If you have a good idea and you don't make it available, people will find a workaround. I think we all saw it happen in the music industry. A lot of those parents had great CD sound systems and Napster's quality was never nearly as good as a CD but it was cool, it was fun, it was convenient. I think that's what happens in this world.
There is an issue with streaming quality versus Blu-ray quality. Where does Epix stand on raising the quality of streaming product?
That's a great question. So today on our website and on these devices, you're going to see the Xbox do in essence a multi-bitrate player. Which means every 10 to 15 seconds we're shifting and we have six different versions of Epix that we're loading at the same time, from a high of 720p to a low of 500k because people's consumption in their home affects it. The last thing you want to when watching a movie is see "Loading, loading loading." So we keep on shifting the technology, it's like a car, fourth gear to third gear, second gear back to third gear. We don't want you touching the brake. We only want you to control the speed with the stick. We sort of do the same thing with the multi bitrate player. We have the ability to go to 1080p right now which in essence is Blu-ray but there's lots of complications that deal with our cable industry and telco providers of what happens between the bandwidth going out and the CPU that's being provided with the set top box and is it fast enough to be able to deliver that content in that way today? So I think a lot of those issues are what we're dealing with but as the architecture gets built out in a more robust way, we'll definitely be at Blu-ray quality.
Cable has those issues. What about the on Xbox?
The devices are definitely better but it still comes down to going through a modem into the home and being redistributed out. When you're doing six megabits it's hard. When you start offering more than 20 megabits, it's actually an opportunity for the industry to start selling that. I'd like to say in one of these presentations 20 megabits of home banking is really a bad idea, watching my checkout go out faster. Whereas at least a Blu-ray quality is there. So those are things we have in development. We'll be hopefully in the next year or two ready to roll it out and it's really trying to marry up what happens with cable guys and telco providers in terms of are they ready to be able to deliver a 1080p quality? Because you don't want to build it and spend the money and reach one home.
Like HD in the beginning.
Listen, I was at HBO in 1985/86 and I was working on a high definition preview. I think maybe one person could see it and it took another 15-20 years before it really became a commercial experience. That sort of tells you the adoption curve. Now I think technology is changing at a quicker rate today than we've ever seen before.
What are Epix's plans for original shows?
So today we have music and comedy has been a big mainstay.
But when you see the "Mad Men"s on AMC, does that motivate you to create your own?
Of course. Listen, "Mad Men" is created and produced by one of our partners, Lionsgate.
I should've referenced "The Sopranos," when original shows on movie networks became big.
And I think every network wants a "Sopranos." It goes without saying. I think for us it's the evolution. So we start out comedy, concerts, live events. We've had boxing, mixed martial arts, documentaries. Our original movies are Attack of the 50 Foot Cheerleader, we did last year the William Shatner Captains documentary, and then we have a Monty Python animation that we're producing that we're going to have on in November.
Are you able to show the Roger Corman movie Attack of the 50 Foot Cheerleader in 3D?
The answer is yes. Verizon, Cox, there's a number of our providers who do 3D right now. Now I won't tell you there's a lot of households that can get 3D but the answer is we shot it in 3D because we do believe in the long run it's important for us to have that asset in 3D. A lot of our movies are now starting to come in 3D so I think build it and they will come. Like high definition, as a premium provider you have to be ahead of the curve. That's what people want. So the answer is yes, it will in 3D, yes it will be on some of our distributors in 3D and I think that's really cool. Now how many people will have the glasses and find them when it comes time? It looks beautiful in 2D because it needs to be. You can't just sit there and say, "We're only going to do a 3D show."
With William Shatner's Get a Life and the animated Graham Chapman movie, is it your plan to start something with Shatner and Python and stick with them with more projects?
On that side of it for us, it will be a major part of what we do. We think Shatner was great for that franchise of Star Trek. He did The Captains. We're talking about his next documentary which will be out this fall which will be will be on the fans and the fandom of what goes on. We think there's different ways to tell those stories. We were excited about the Pythons because we think it's a great way to assemble them and put it back together. We will be featuring those movies on our network when we do that and we have access to those through some of our partners and outside some of our partners. So I think those are franchises we like to build. We also did one for the Lionsgate movie The Expendables. We did a documentary on that as well that played prior to the release of the movie.
You can add some Van Damme and Chuck Norris movies to your rotation for the sequel.
Yeah, there's a lot of franchises. We keep talking to MGM on what we can do with the Bond franchise. We had 20 Bond movies. We did an old Bond doc which everyone does which is let's talk about the Bond girls which is always great. But I think there's other ways to tell the story of what goes on in Bond and we'll look at that with them. I'm hoping as we get to the second Hunger Games we'll do a documentary on that as well. So I think it's a way for us to extend what's there. We're on the sets of all of our movies and we have what I call our own version of DVD extras. Instead of on Iron Man 2 talking to Robert Downey Jr. and saying, "How was the experience?" and he's great, he means it, the cast and crew was great and you see it on "Entertainment Tonight" and on "E!" Our audience wants to know what did Robert Downey Jr. eat every night? So we're talking to the guy in the food truck. We're talking to the guy who made the Arc reactor and how does that work? How do you make it work during the movie? We're there the day they took the set down. We have 7500 video assets on our website and all these devices. The fans are able to engage in the fandom of what goes on and we're able to deliver something they can't see anywhere else. If I were to aggregate all of those as one movie, it's one of the five most watched parts of what we offer. It's a different kind of original programming. It's more short form but it's fun to get.
You're on Xbox now. When will you be on PS3?
We've been in discussions with them, hoping to be soon. It's always interesting, everyone has a different timetable on some of the strategies and authentication and dealing with that. I think Sony has a strong desire to be in that business. Our expectation is that we will be there at some point in time.
And Wii?
I think you'll get all three of those devices. I grew up watching broadcast television. My kids grew up watching cable, satellite and telco. I think all those become relevant and remain, but there's other ways that people want to see content. We knew that multiplatform and different ways of experiencing that were going to be important. Although people go to the internet, it's less on their computers, it's more on devices. So the Xbox, the PS3s, the Wiis and now tablets have become what I think are the way today that people are going over the internet to get that content. Right now we're on about 300 -400 different devices. We're on the iPad, we're on the iPhone, on the Android devices, we're on the Samsung TV sets and Blu-ray players. We've been on the Roku device for over a year now. We're deploying these things and all these devices because people want to watch content that way.
Those devices are on demand, so you don't get the linear programming?
One could do that. I think there's a lot of questions at Xbox whether they want to be or not be in that. So right now, everything that's on the linear channel is on our on demand service. So we sort of break it down into three parts. There's a linear channel, 24/7, east coast, west coast just like HBO and Showtime and Starz. We have an on demand offering that's more hours than they do, especially on movies. So we have 300 hours of on demand programming on the cable, telco and set top box. On the internet delivery, on authentication, we have over 3000 movies on right now. We think the user interface makes it really easy and convenient. Having owners like Paramount, MGM and Lionsgate, they have 15,000 titles in their library. We went pretty deep.

A fully-clothed man was found drowned in the tidal pool at St James early yesterday, with his iPod earphones still in his ears.
The man, believed to be in his 30s, is thought to have slipped off the retaining wall.
Cape disaster management spokesman Wilfred Solomons-Johannes said: "At this stage it would appear that the man could have been walking on the pool wall when he slipped and (hit) his head, which resulted in him falling in the pool."
He said the man had a cut above his right eyebrow.
Police spokesman Captain Frederick van Wyk said this theory was supported by people who had seen the man on the beach earlier.
Muizenberg police are investigating.
l Four people were rescued after being lost near Plattekloof Gorge on Table Mountain yesterday. Emergency Medical Services spokeswoman Keri Davids said they were alerted shortly after midday that four South Africans, two men and two women aged between 24 and 30, had lost their way.
They had phoned friends who contacted the medical service.
Rescuers from the service and Wildnerness Search and Rescue found the group at around 6pm in the mist, not far from the Lower Cable Station.
The group were walked down the mountain and to the parking area. - Weekend Argus

Provisional housing market update: February 2014, Auckland
Provisional housing market update: February 2014, Auckland and Northland
3 March 2014
Provisional data from New Zealand's largest real estate group Harcourts for the month of February shows there is continued pressure on the housing market in Auckland and Northland, with the average sales price sitting at $644,613 – up 13% on the same time last year.
Harcourts CEO Hayden Duncan says each month Harcourts' data is repeatedly demonstrating that the LVR restrictions have not had the intended effect, with prices and written sales continuing to increase.
First home buyers and investors, who were initially dissuaded from entering the market because of the restrictions, have found their way around the need for a 20% deposit through the assistance of second tier lenders and family loans.
Harcourts sales consultants continue to report increased interest in properties on the outer edges of Auckland, as buyers look to make affordable purchases away from the heated central suburbs. Competition for these properties is also becoming fierce.
Rising immigration and falling unemployment have contributed to the overall confidence in the housing market and demand for property remains extremely high.
Interest rates are expected to rise from this month; however, this is unlikely to dampen a market fuelled by unprecedented high demand.
Full statistical data from Harcourts for the month of February will be available on 10 March.

Dear Bankruptcy Adviser,
If someone files bankruptcy, does the bank take his house? I spoke to someone looking to rent his house, but he says he can only rent month-to-month because he has filed bankruptcy. What kind of bankruptcy would make the bank take over your house?
-- Robert
Dear Robert,
The bank does not take your home because you filed bankruptcy. However, the filing of the bankruptcy may trigger another reason a house is sold.
You are likely describing a scenario in which the homeowner is delinquent on mortgage payments prior to filing bankruptcy. The homeowner then files bankruptcy to stop the sale on the home, but is either unable to bring the mortgage current through a repayment of the delinquent balance or unable to obtain a loan modification. The bankruptcy merely delays the selling of the house in foreclosure.
Once the lender is notified of the bankruptcy, it will file a motion with the bankruptcy court to remove the house from bankruptcy protection. Once the motion is granted, the bank will continue with the sale of the property.
The bank cannot take the house simply because the homeowner filed bankruptcy. As far as I know, there are no default provisions in loan documents that allow this. I have seen only bankruptcy as a default provision in one type of loan: a local governmental agency homeownership program available for low-income individuals to purchase a house. These programs have loan terms that allow the homeowner to own the house and not make mortgage payments, but obligates the homeowner to maintain the property by paying property taxes and insurance. Even in these types of cases, I have been able to work out an arrangement with the government agency to allow the homeowner to keep the property.

Hey there, time traveller!
This article was published 12/11/2013 (1378 days ago), so information in it may no longer be current.
Walmart's plan to build a big-box mall on Winnipeg's doorsteps in East St. Paul has angered local residents.
The plan would use residential Winnipeg streets as the only access.
A public hearing is set for Nov. 20 for an amendment to the East St. Paul development plan that would change the zoning designation on a 47-acre parcel of land tucked into the southwest corner of the Perimeter Highway and Lagimodiere Boulevard, from mixed use (residential/institutional) to commercial.
The province refused to allow East St. Paul and the developer, SmartCentres, access to the site from either the Perimeter or Lagimodiere, leaving the only access from two-lane residential streets in North Kildonan.
'That additional traffic is not good for our community. It's a huge safety concern'-- Cathy Cox (below), who is leading a group opposed to a Walmart Supercentre and retail complex proposed for East St. Paul
"That additional traffic is not good for our community. It's a huge safety concern," area resident Cathy Cox said. "Those roads were never, ever to be used for access to a shopping centre."
The project would be built in two phases: Phase 1 involves 200,000 square feet of commercial space, including a Walmart Supercentre and nine retail outlets, to be built on 17 acres in 2014; Phase 2 involves an additional 145,000 square feet of commercial space or 14.5 acres of residential homes, to be built in 2019.
A spokesman for the Selkirk and District planning area, which regulates planning matters in East St. Paul, said the amendment is the first in a series of steps necessary before the project can go ahead.
Cox said the project would be a significant tax windfall for East St. Paul but Winnipeg would endure additional road maintenance and safety and traffic concerns.
Cox organized a team of about 20 residents who handed out 2,500 flyers listing concerns about the project throughout the adjoining neighbourhoods on Saturday.
"To use a two-lane residential street doesn't make any sense to us," Cox said.
North Kildonan Coun. Jeff Browaty said he condemned the plan when it surfaced in the summer. At the time, the only road access was via an extension of Gateway Road to the border with East St. Paul. At the time, Browaty threatened to blockade Gateway to prevent access to the city street from East St. Paul.
Browaty said SmartCentres has developed another potential road access, securing private land in Winnipeg behind a new strip mall off Headmaster Row at Lagimodiere, which would be turned into a roadway that would connect to the project from DeVries Road.
Browaty said SmartCentres would build the road and then turn it over to Winnipeg as a public roadway.
However, Browaty said while the second route avoids the residential area farther west along Headmaster, the proposed two-lane road and intersection are likely technically deficient and not suitable for the large trucks that will supply the shopping centre.
Browaty said the only way he would support the new commercial centre is if East St. Paul could secure access off either Lagimodiere or the Perimeter.
The City of Winnipeg planning department wrote a letter to the Selkirk planning authority, stating it believes the project is inconsistent with East St. Paul's development plan and a detriment to the city.
East St. Paul Mayor Lawrence Morris refused to discuss the project, saying as a member of the planning authority, he is prevented from taking a position before the Nov. 20 hearing.
However, Browaty said East St. Paul council has instructed its CAO to negotiate an agreement with Winnipeg in which the city would get a portion of the tax revenue as compensation for road maintenance.
The project is also gaining opposition from residents in East St. Paul just west of the project site.
"They don't want that traffic on residential streets," East St. Paul Coun. Charles Posthumus said, adding homeowners on Foxgrove Avenue and the new subdivision south of the Perimeter are opposed to the project.

New World Symphony
Gehry Partners, LLP
Miami, Florida, USA
The main entrance of New World Center is set in a soaring, 80-foot-high glass curtain wall on the east facade, providing uninterrupted views of the skylit main atrium and the dramatic, tumbling forms of the interior spaces beyond.
Created using glass with no iron content, the curtain wall is
utterly clear and disappears when lit from within, by the skylight
during the day and by the space's 44 programmable,
multi-directional colored lights at night. Playful, tumbling
geometric forms delineate the structure of the internal
The entrance is distinguished by a white, wave-like canopy, and
opens out onto a plaza and a two-and-a-half acre public park.
A 650-square-foot LED light field will be positioned at the top of
the transparent wall, branding the institution and announcing its
Located to the right of the atrium is the performance hall, its
structure masked on the east facade by a giant, 7,000-square-foot
projection wall, adjoining the glass-fronted entrance. The
projection wall will be used for outdoor presentations and will be
complemented by an immersive audio system in the adjacent
park. The main viewing area located in the park opposite the
projection wall will accommodate up to 1,000 people, and will be
surrounded by speakers designed to look like two giant, gently
curving ballet barres.
The six-story high, glass-fronted atrium provides a spectacular and dynamic entry-point to the building, with its playful, tumbling geometric forms delineating the structure of the internal spaces. When viewed from outside the building at night, these large, dramatically-lit, irregular forms will take on the character of performers on a proscenium stage, turning the building itself into a performance.
The skylit atrium incorporates the campus' box office, a large,
illuminated glass bar with an undulating, green-tinted titanium
canopy, and baby-blue banquettes with plywood backing. The space
features polished concrete floors and painted walls.
The roof terrace on the sixth floor is accessible via two
high-speed elevators, and features a pavilion reception space, a
music library and a private suite, surrounded by an oasis-like
The iconic performance hall is a technically sophisticated,
flexible and immersive space with seating for 756 people. Uniquely
designed entryways lead from the atrium into the hall, with two
serpentine corridors delicately narrowing and then widening to
dramatically reveal the space. Visitors will enter the hall
in its center, by the stage, and will be greeted by a 360-degree
view of the space.
Large, 360-degree curvilinear acoustic sails span the upper half
of the space, and double as projection surfaces that will enhance
the concert-going experience with theatrical lighting, specially
commissioned videos and projected contextual information from
fourteen 30,000 lumen projectors. Natural light in the performance
hall is afforded via an overhead skylight and a large panoramic
window located behind the stage.
An intimate space, the performance hall is designed to support everything from solo recitals to concerts by the New World Symphony's full orchestra. To simulate the acoustical conditions of a much larger concert hall within a relatively small space, the design provides sufficient volume for the sound to develop.
Fourteen distinctive configurations of the stage and in-the-round seating allow for new performance experiences.
Built in the heart of Miami Beach, New World Center, the New World Symphony's new campus, is an innovative facility for music education and performance with state-of-the-art technical capabilities, and an adjacent 2.5-acre public park into which the institution will extend its programming. The campus is the first purpose-built home for the New World Symphony.
Gehry Technologies, using Digital Project for the master 3D
building information model, is responsible for BIM coordination
with Gehry Partners, engineers, contractors, and others on the

wicki, sheba\'s mom
thank you vicki
For my Butler I love you Hold on Sweet Pea hold on Mom will be there. I never listen to music anymore. I was in alot of pain and tears came and fell upon Butler's fur as I held her. I pleaded for a sign from her. I turned the tv on and this song played. Tv turned on to MTV which is odd because I never watch MTV. I had never heard it before. I take it as a sign from Butler she is near. I held her and a calm came over me. We rested as best we could the rest of the night. Packaged deal.
Love Mom

Oldest world record broken on final day
In Shanghai, the swimming world championships ended with a bang Sunday when emerging Chinese standout Sun Yang broke the oldest world record in the sport -- Australian great Grant Hackett 's 10-year-old mark in the 1,500 meters.
Sun was just more than two seconds off Hackett's 2001 pace with four laps to go, but accelerated on the final two laps to finish in 14 minutes, 34.14 seconds, improving on Hackett's mark of 14:34.56 set at Fukuoka, Japan.
It was only the second world record to fall in swimming since high-tech bodysuits were banned 19 months ago -- and Hackett's record had been the only mark to withstand the record deluge during the polyurethane era of 2008 and 2009.
American all-arounder Ryan Lochte set the first world record since the return to textile suits at this meet Tuesday in the 200 individual medley.
Lochte, the overall standout of the meet, also won the 400 IM Sunday for his fifth gold, edging silver medalist and teammate Tyler Clary by a massive four seconds.
Michael Phelps , meanwhile, finished with four golds after pushing the Americans in front during the butterfly leg in the 4x100 medley relay. Nathan Adrian held off a late comeback attempt by Australia's James Magnussen in the anchor leg.
The Americans won in 3:32.06, Australia took silver in 3:32.26 and Germany got bronze in 3:32.60.

Coil nips Preakness champion in Haskell
In Oceanport, N.J., Hall of Fame trainer Bob Baffert won the $1 million Haskell Invitational for a fifth time when Coil unleashed a last-to-first rally and edged Preakness winner Shackleford after a duel down the stretch at Monmouth Park.
Coil was last out of the starting gate in the field of eight, but under Martin Garcia , the colt moved past his rivals along the backstretch and around the final turn before running down Shackleford to win by a neck for his fourth victory in his past five starts.
Some seeds fall at U.S. Olympic Trials
In Mobile, Ala., most of the seeded boxers did well in the afternoon session of the U.S. Olympic Trials on Sunday, though there were also some upsets.

Connecticut rallies to knock off Atlanta
In Uncasville, Conn., Renee Montgomery scored 19 points and Asjha Jones had 17, including eight in the final 3:50, to lead the Connecticut Sun to a 99-92 win over the Atlanta Dream.
Danielle McCray scored 16 points and Tina Charles had 10 points and 11 rebounds for the Sun (11-6).
Angel McCoughtry 36 points for Atlanta (8-10).

Hempfield wrestler Krivus picks Virginia
Just a few days after visiting the college, Hempfield junior Sam Krivus committed to Virginia for wrestling Tuesday afternoon.
Krivus, a three-time PIAA placewinner who won a Class AAA title as a sophomore and has a career record of 126-12, chose his college destination fairly early in the recruiting process compared to most Division I-level wrestlers. Pitt also offered him a scholarship, and Ohio State asked him to make an official visit.
"I've always liked UVa growing up, and I got to know the coaches really well — they're great guys," said Krivus, who wrestled in the 126-pound weight class during the 2014 individual postseason. "And the team, they're like a big family.
"I thought it through, and I talked to my parents. I looked at the pros and cons of each school, and UVa really was the best choice."
— Bill West

The bodies were recovered from near a mountain in southern Assam.
Over the past week militants from the Dimasa tribe have been attacking Hmar villagers, who are now undertaking reprisal attacks, say the authorities.
More than 500 Hmar people have been displaced as a result of the violence.
On Monday night, large numbers of armed Hmar militants attacked two Dimasa-dominated villages in southern Assam.
Police say they set fire to hundreds of houses in the villages of Chekarjan and Meghnarthal and kidnapped more than 20 villagers.
On Wednesday, police said they recovered 22 bodies from near a mountain that divides the two villages.
Dimasa villagers say there are other people from the two villages still missing and police are continuing to search for more bodies.
The Hmar militants have said their actions are in retaliation for the attacks against their people by Dimasa militants last week and earlier this week.
Police say the Dimasa villagers attacked at least seven villages in the North Cachar Hill district of Assam last week forcing more than 500 Hmar villagers to flee to southern Assam.
ULFA attacks
This displacement upset the Hmar people in southern Assam, who began attacking the Dimasas in places where they were a minority, especially amongst the mountain villages dominated by the Hmar tribals.
Meanwhile, militants of the leading separatist group in Assam - the United Liberation Front of Assam (ULFA) - have attacked a liquid petroleum gas bottling plant on the outskirts of the state capital Guwahati.
Police said the ULFA militants fired rocket-propelled grenades at the bottling plant but police said no damage was done as the grenades failed to hit their target.
The ULFA chairman, Arabinda Rajkhowa, said earlier that Indian security forces would be attacked throughout Assam, as the group was determined to continue its fight for independence.

text: NEW YORK ( TheStreet) -- Did you know that cloud computing is a failure because no one is making money at it? Seriously, the vicious price war led by Amazon.com ( AMZN), in which customers keep getting a better bargain while providers are hammered by nonexistent margins, means the technology is a complete failure. It must be true. How else can you explain headlines like the one on CNBC claiming renewable energy is "down but not out." I'd like to be down like renewable energy is, just as I'd like to be down like cloud computing is down. The International Energy Agency reported last week that renewable energy is on track to pass natural gas as an energy source by 2016. It's something I sometimes forget, living in the U.S. We're not the whole world. When I see estimates for "grid parity," the price at which solar energy becomes cheaper than alternatives, I often forget that these are U.S. estimates. The U.S. has a very extensive electrical grid, meaning energy here can get to market fairly cheaply. Most of the world does not. As a result, grid parity has already been passed in countries such as India and Brazil that don't have extensive electric grids. The infrastructure needed for an electric grid, like that of wired Internet service, is too big an investment for most developing countries. Thus their Internets are wireless and mobile, and their electrical systems are increasingly based on solar and wind. This difference has a real impact on the take-up rate of renewable energy. When you install a solar panel on an American roof, you connect that panel to the electric grid, partly so that roof owner can sell power to the utility, but partly so they can buy power when the panel isn't working. As Jason Hibbets of Red Hat ( RHT) explained to me recently in a blog post, there's a huge profit margin here for the utility. They buy power at their base rate, then resell it to consumers at a premium "peak" rate. But many utilities now want more, calling solar panel owners "freeloaders" on the infrastructure. This is nonsense, but the fact is the U.S. electrical system is geared toward massive, out-of-town inputs serving massive demand that peaks in the late afternoon, when air conditioners go on. So while utility-scaled solar can be plugged-into this system, with some additional storage, small-scale solar creates uncertainties in balancing supply and demand.

How do you take advantage of this incredible opportunity? Once you get accepted for this unique work home job, you'll just go through a short one-day training. After you're certified with the program, you'll just spend a few hours a day, all depending on your schedule. You'll just work from your computer in the comfort of your own home. It can't get any better than this!
You don't have to have a college degree, a high level corporate background or experience working online. If you're tired of working 40+ hours without seeing anything to show for it, you're in for a huge surprise. You can set your own hours...work as little or as much as you want to. As long as you have internet access, you can earn money. You'll be able to work from the park, from the coffee shop....even from the beach!
Best of all...you'll get paid like clockwork every two weeks!
If this sounds good to you, keep reading...
My name is Amber Robinson. I've been working online for the past ten years. I've made it my mission to help others change their lives with online income. I'm proud to be able to take my experience and teach others to do just the same.
I've been earning over six figures each and every year by doing the same things I'm going to teach you how to do. You're going to be able to take my experience and benefit from them yourself. My life is a dream come true now...but it wasn't always the case.
A while ago, things weren't so great for me and my family. I was stuck in a dead end job where I knew for a fact that I was smarter than my boss. He took my ideas and made them his own....taking all the credit and leaving me with as little salary as he could get away with.
I was spending 40+ hours a week slaving away for a company that didn't care. I knew that I needed a chance in my financial and emotional life. But I just couldn't see getting out of the corporate world that I was stuck in. I was in between a rock and a hard place.
Maybe you can relate? Are you stuck earning less that you're worth? Do you spend more time with your pathetic co-workers and your boss while your family grows further apart from you? Are you selling the best part of your life away for peanuts?
I was scared and unsure that I could make the leap to working for myself at home.
But all of that turned around in no time at all when I discovered this REAL work at home job for some of the most successful companies in the country. Within just a month I was able to quit my full time job and make MORE money doing LESS work....all from my personal computer!
I was getting paid immediately. My credit problems were going away, my family was happier and I finally felt like I could breathe. All the stress and anger from my old job melted away and I opened a new riche chapter in my life.
It felt like total and complete FREEDOM!

Along with their latest hair care collection, Motions also released the styling products you need to keep the hair party going. When it comes to this fine, curly hair my styling products have to moisturize and hold my style at the same time, especially in this crazy heat
Flat Twist-Out With Motions Light Styling Foam
Total Disclaimer: Twist-outs and I never got along. They're either two piecey or two frizzy-both never lasting more than a day. So you can imagine how nervous I was doing this style with the Light Styling Foam. After washing and conditioning with their Treat and Repair Collection, I put in my usual leave in and styling cream, sealing with olive oil. Then I created medium sized sections and applied the styling foam. What I really liked about it was how incredibly light it was on my hair and didn't leave it feeling greasy. I combed it through, twisted each section and used perm rods at the end.
When I took them down the next day, my hair did appear a lot shorter than it does with my regular style but the softness and the shine totally made up for it. Each curl was smooth too and the best part? It practically stayed that way all week! I just had to re-twist a few sections on Day 4, mostly for volume purposes. It gave my hair the hold it needed for a great style all week long.
Wash and Go with Motions Versatile Foam Styling Lotion
My go-to style for years, I wanted to see if the styling lotion could take my wash-and-go until my next wash day. Whether your doing this style, wrapping hair or heat styling not only does it give hair the hold it needs to look good but acts like a heat protectant as well. After applying my normal products, I scrunched in the styling lotion, the foam thinner in consistency than the styling foam. Once my hair dried, curls clumped together nicely and delivered the wash-and-go style that I'm accustomed to.
Other products you can play with in this collection: The Light Hold Working Spritz, perfect for pinned-curls and the Shine Enhancing Pomade for smoothing down edges.
Have you tried any of these Motions styling products before? Which one is your favorite?

GALVESTON COUNTY, Texas - A deputy was taken to the hospital after he crashed while chasing burglary suspects.
Around 8 a.m. on Wednesday, Galveston County sheriff's deputies said they received a call about a burglary in the 18300 block of Elkton Road.
Witnesses told dispatchers they were following the suspect's vehicle.
When deputies found the suspects' vehicle, they tried to pull the vehicle over. Instead, deputies said the suspects lead them on a chase.
During the chase, authorities said a deputy crashed on FM 517 near the Lakes of Bay Area subdivision. Deputies said they had to cut the door of the patrol car to get the deputy out of his car.
The deputy was taken to a hospital and was treated for a cut on the back of his head.
Santa Fe police assisted deputies, who were able to catch up to the suspected vehicle and arrest the suspects.

A BROMSGROVE open air museum has been boosted by a grant for a major new initiative.
Avoncroft Museum of Historic Buildings is receiving £69,545 in funding as part of a million pound investment in Midland museums.
Coming from the Arts Council's Renaissance programme, the money will be used to create a team of trained staff who will use costumes and live performances to bring the stories behind the museum's collections to life.
Simon Carter, director of the Stoke heath-based museum, said: "We are delighted to have been awarded this funding and are grateful to the Arts Council for the tremendous opportunity it gives us to develop what we offer to visitors and volunteers at Avoncroft.
"We're looking forward to working with such a great range of partners and there will certainly be a lot that we can learn from each other over the course of the project."
It is hoped the new team will give visitors a more entertaining and insightful understanding of the collections.
Peter Knott, area director for Arts Council England, said: "Investing in museums is important if we are to make the most of our country's heritage and the rich cultural offer it presents."
The museum has launched a volunteering drive to support the new initiative.
Volunteers will become re-enactors dressing in historically accurate costumes and will be given training on how to interact with visitors and historical re-enactments.
No prior knowledge is required but volunteers need to have enthusiasm, commitment and a genuine interest in history. Ideally, volunteers will be able to commit to a regular day at the museum during July and August when training will be taking place with museum professionals. Positions are voluntary but travel expenses are offered.
Anyone interested in volunteering is asked to call Julia Morris on 01527 831363, Wednesdays and Thursdays only, or email email@example.com.

Guillermo Del Toro's Pinocchio put on the back burner
1:00 PM on 02.01.2013 // Thor Latham
Now he'll never become a real boy
I suppose the laws of probability would dictate that out of the million or so projects Guillermo Del Toro has on his plate at any given time, at least a couple aren't going to come to fruition. That doesn't excuse how depressing it is, though, especially considering how special this particular film was looking. Del Toro's stop motion animated collaboration with the Jim Henson company looks like it has had the brakes officially put on it. Co-writer Gris Grimly recently tweeted:
Short to the point update on Pinocchio for those inquiring: It appears that this is not the right time for such a superior-adventurous flick.
He puts the blame at the feet of the studio and the floundering box office reception of Tim Burton's Frankenweenie.
There are people like us out there. But they look at numbers. Frankenweenie was a box office failure to them.
It's a sad but true fact that studios, even adventurous studios, aren't exactly eager to throw their money into endeavors that were already risky in the first place, let alone with a recent "failure" still fresh in everyone's minds. The good news is that Grimly has already moved onto his next project, adapting Little Jordan Ray's Muddy Spud. It's Del Toro that I'm worried about. What ever will he do now?

Lucknow, Sep 18 (ANI): Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) leader Uma Bharti on Wednesday warned the Akhilesh Yadav-led Samajwadi Party (SP) Government of more tension in Uttar Pradesh if the leaders of the saffron outfit are arrested for instigating the Muzaffarnagar violence.
"Our MLAs will not oppose their arrest, but the Akhilesh Yadav Government will be responsible for what will follow. I am warning the Samajwadi Party Government," she said.
Uttar Pradesh BJP leader Sangeet Som, who has reportedly been accused of circulating a video that claimed to show the lynching of two Hindu Jat boys, earlier in the day rubbished claims that he uploaded a fake video that played a crucial role in the Muzaffarnagar communal riots.
Som said that he is not on the run, and has even attended the Vidhan Sabha today being the people's representative.
"It is absolutely wrong, I haven't uploaded any video. It should be investigated and if I have done so I am ready to face the punishment. The truth is that the Samajwadi Party workers have uploaded it," Som said.
"It is a hundred percent conspiracy against me to please a certain section of the society. I am being unnecessarily accused," he added.
Som further said that he has not given any inciting speech, and asked the concerned authorities to prove it.
No arrests have been made as yet after the non-bailable warrants were issued by a local court against a BSP MP, five MLAs - four from BJP and one from BSP and ten other community leaders for allegedly inciting violence in Muzaffarnagar.
The life returned to normal in Muzaffarnagar as the city remained peaceful. No untoward incident has been reported after the curfew was completely lifted.
The Uttar Pradesh Government has constituted a one-member judicial commission to probe the Muzaffarnagar violence, which has claimed over 40 lives.
The commission, which would mainly look into administrative lapses, if any, in controlling the violence, would submit its report to the government within two months.
Violence broke out in the Kawal area of Muzaffarnagar on August 27, when members of a community returning from a panchayat meeting in Naglabadhod, three kilometres from Kawal, clashed with members of another community. (ANI)

Roth Wellness
A native of Tennessee, Doctor of Chiropractic Sharon Roth's experience—from designing exercise programs for the elderly in senior homes to serving as chief spinal sleuth for the Nashville Sounds—reflects her ability to help people in all walks of life. While acting as a guest speaker on The Fox Network or when giving public talks, Dr. Roth advocates the importance of receiving chiropractic care, a belief she puts into practice at Roth Wellness. During sessions, she aims to get to the root of patients' issues, rather than merely masking their symptoms with drugs, surgery, or glittery Mardi Gras masks. This involves thorough consultations, exams, and x-rays, before she recommends a wellness plan such as spinal adjustments or therapeutic modalities.
Certified in the Brimhall Technique, Dr. Roth also sets clients on a course to optimum heath with six steps to wellness—structure, electromagnetic therapy, nutrition, emotional therapy, detoxification, and allergies and sensitivities—and maintains her skills in helping patients with conditions such as arthritis, acid reflux, and phobias of phobias by attending continuing-education courses.

THE Moyle Council area is gearing up to ensure the arrival of the Giro d'Italia race in May is a momentous occasion.
Councillors were given details of how thousands of pounds of money has been set aside for the event which has pink as its signature colour.
The Council will turn the fountain at Ballycastle Seafront pink; install pink lights at the seafront and put in pink uplighters at the 'Children of Lir' swan sculpture.
And 3,500 pink hand-wavable flags will be handed out whilst it is hoped to secure large screens for people to gather to watch the race as it approaches their focal point.
Pink bunting will also go up at the focal points in Ballycastle, Bushmills and Cushendall and iconic attractions like the Glendun Viaduct could be lit up pink.
Local groups are encouraged to apply for grants to hold their own Giro d'Italia events.
Moyle Council officer Esther Mulholland said they have been working very hard ahead of the race and the efforts were praised by councillors.
Cllr Colum Thompson (Sinn Fein) said the Council had perhaps under-estimated the budget they have for the event and they need to release more money.
Councillors were told the 'King of the Mountain' event during the race will be held at the 'Vanishing Lake' near Ballycastle and because of that it is hoped to hold a cycling event there every year afterwards.
Esther Mulholland said the Council has been stretched financially and resource-wise but added that some great ideas have come in from the community and all in all they are confident of putting on a good show.
Council Chairperson, Cllr Cara McShane (Sinn Fein), said efforts are being made to get special brown coloured tourist signs put up along the route after the race to show that the Giro d'Italia took place there.
Council Vice-Chairperson, Cllr Robert McIlroy (DUP), suggested putting historic bicycles from the Causeway Museum Bushmills on display.
He said there is a "real buzz" around the race and fish in a chip shop in Bushmills had gone pink and ladies will be dying their hair pink and even cows will be coloured pink.
Cllr Padraig McShane (Independent) said it would be great to get more money set aside but Council staff had done a "remarkable job". He said the build-up seems more intense than was the case ahead of the Olympic Flame.

GWEN IFILL: Finally tonight, a newsmaker interview with another key player in the upcoming Supreme Court confirmation hearings. Last week I talked with Senate Judiciary Committee Chairman Arlen Specter. This afternoon I sat down with his minority party counterpart, Vermont Democrat Patrick Leahy.
Supreme Court nominee John G. Roberts and Sen. Patrick Leahy were all smiles today. But in the weeks since their first meeting, Leahy, the senior Democrat on the Senate Judiciary Committee, has become sharply critical of President Bush's first high court nominee, using words like "radical" and "right-wing" to characterize Roberts' writings.
As he prepares for next week's hearings, Leahy has already become caught between two poles within his party the anti-Roberts liberals, and the centrist Democrats who have signaled they could support the president's nominees.
In 31 years in Washington, Leahy has become closely identified with judicial battles. In 1991, he grilled high court nominee Clarence Thomas about his view of Roe v Wade.
SEN. PATRICK LEAHY: Have you ever, private gatherings, otherwise, stated whether you felt that it was properly decided or not?
CLARENCE THOMAS: Senator, in trying to recall and reflect on that. I don't recollect commenting one way or the other. There were again debates about it in various places but I generally did not participate. I don't remember or recall participating, senator.
SEN. PATRICK LEAHY: So you don't ever recall stating whether you thought it was properly decided or not?
CLARENCE THOMAS: I can't recall saying one way or the other, senator.
SEN. PATRICK LEAHY: Well, with all due respect, judge, I have some difficulty with your answer that somehow this has been so far removed from your discussions or feelings during the years since it was decided while you were in law school.
GWEN IFILL: Leahy, 65 years old and in his sixth term, is the only Senate Democrat ever elected from Vermont. Like committee Chairman Arlen Specter, he served as a state prosecutor before arriving in Washington.
We spoke to him today in the Senate's historic Russell Caucus Room, where the Roberts hearings are scheduled to begin next week.
Senator Leahy, welcome.
SEN. PATRICK LEAHY: Thank you.
GWEN IFILL: You met today with Judge Roberts. How did that go?
SEN. PATRICK LEAHY: Well, it was the second meeting we've had, actually the second meeting on this nomination. Obviously we met before when he was up for the court of appeals. I found it a very interesting meeting.
As we all know, he's a very pleasant person, very articulate and obviously very knowledgeable as a lawyer. Three things, of course, those of us who are lawyers find very, you know, very interesting. I enjoyed the discussion with him.
GWEN IFILL: Did you get to ask him any specific questions that you are willing to talk to us about?
SEN. PATRICK LEAHY: Well, I asked a few questions. They're more of a general nature. I did express my concern that the White House is blocking the release of some of the positions he took as a political appointee in the Solicitor's General Office.
And my disappointment was because those would show not whether he's a good lawyer or not — we all know he's a good lawyer. We all know that if he has a client that says here are my cases, he'll argue it very well. He could argue for a person or against a person depending upon who his client is.
But in the Solicitor General's Office, that's where they make a determination what position the United States will take and which cases they will take to make a case. Those are the areas I'd like to see.
GWEN IFILL: Did he indicate to you that he might be interested in having those documents released?
SEN. PATRICK LEAHY: I think he feels constrained by what the White House has said. The White House won't let them — won't bring them forward.
I'm also concerned about some documents that were lost. It was no fault of his. But, of course, we were supposed to get the documents from the Reagan Library. At the last minute the White House said no, no, no, you can only see them after we see them even though they're going to become part of the public records anyway.
And apparently some that were on affirmative action, the White House looked at them and suddenly they've disappeared. The White House said they gave them back and they would be glad to tell us their analysis of what's in it. Coming from the Ronald Reagan library, I take the Reagan position: Trust but verify. I want to see the original documents.
GWEN IFILL: In the time since you met him on this nomination first on July 20 and today, you've said some increasingly tough things about him. If you don't mind I'd like to actually read them to you.
SEN. PATRICK LEAHY: Sure.
GWEN IFILL: You said, as you well know, about these papers: "Those papers that we have received paint a picture of John Roberts as an eager and aggressive advocate of policies that are deeply tinged with the ideology of the far right wing of his party then and now. In influential White House and Department of Justice positions, John Roberts expressed views that were among the most radical being offered by a cadre intent on reversing decades of policies on civil rights, voting rights, women's rights, privacy and access to justice." That's tough talk, senator.
SEN. PATRICK LEAHY: It's fairly tough especially we Vermonters tend to say things in somewhat a more quiet way. But I meant it. And I talked about that, I actually talked to him about the — virtually what you just read.
And I was asking to what extent is John Roberts the 27-year-old, 28, 29, 30-year-old John Roberts — eager acolyte in the Reagan administration — how does that person relate to the Judge Roberts today?
And the reason I asked him that question, I said, my feeling about it anybody who is going to be a federal judge especially a Supreme Court judge, I want to know before I vote for that person, could I feel safe if my case was before them or your case or the person two doors down from here, their case? Would they have a case that would be heard on the merits or would it be predetermined?
Now, some of the writings you saw there gave the impression of somebody who predetermined these things. I want to know that he would sit as a judge with an open mind to make up his mind. Is he going to be a conservative jurist? Sure. I voted for a lot of conservative jurists, but I voted for these jurists on the assumption that they were people who would give you a fair shake and would not predetermine a case.
GWEN IFILL: When you said that he would — you had concerns about his stand on civil rights, what particularly are you talking about?
SEN. PATRICK LEAHY: Well, I wanted to understand that he really cares about affirmative action, he cares about equality. I wanted to make sure he understands there's a lot of discrimination in the United States today. We have laws that try to redress that and is he going to be open to the application of those laws?
GWEN IFILL: When you think about the things that you know that he has written and the things you don't know about that the White House has not been willing to release, do you think that someone is trying to hide something from you?
SEN. PATRICK LEAHY: Well, I worry about the things that suddenly got lost by the White House. Maybe they'll turn up. Maybe they won't. I'm not willing to just accept what they say about them. I want to see what they say.
But I think they do Judge Roberts a disservice by holding things back especially those areas that reflect what his judgment of what the law should be, not just what the law is, but what the law should be.
They do him a disservice because then everybody speculates on what he would say but then at the same time that puts a heavier burden on us, a burden that we should try to carry to ask the questions to find out who he is. I don't think any senator should feel justified in automatically voting for him unless they're satisfied that person is going to reflect all of us.
GWEN IFILL: In previous judicial confirmation battles you have urged the White House to take the advice of the American Bar Association. The American Bar Association has said that Judge Roberts is well qualified. Does that sway your thinking?
SEN. PATRICK LEAHY: It is part of my thinking. I wish in a way to read all the things that the rest of us did, but no, I think that is. I think conversely if they said he wasn't qualified, then that would hurt him a great deal but I think everybody knows he's a brilliant judge. Everybody knows he's a brilliant lawyer. He's been an extremely gifted advocate before the Supreme Court.
GWEN IFILL: You as the ranking Democrat on this committee are probably the subject of a lot of competing e-mails, phone calls, pressure, shall we say.
SEN. PATRICK LEAHY: I've heard.
GWEN IFILL: Have you heard that? From centrist Democrats, liberal Democrats, interest groups. They all are, I'm sure, zeroing in on you. What kind of pressure are you feeling?
SEN. PATRICK LEAHY: Well, I'll always talk to any senator who wants. I've done this for over 30 years in the Senate. I'd be glad to talk to any senator who wants to talk about it. I'm not meeting with interest groups from either the right or the left.
GWEN IFILL: Any senators trying to influence your vote?
SEN. PATRICK LEAHY: No, no. And, interestingly enough, you know, on other issues, senators will come and try — obviously we got this appropriations bill coming up or an agriculture bill or whatever. Senators, as we should, will go around trying to get other senators to vote with you. No senator has suggested to me how to vote one way or the other.
GWEN IFILL: You and Senator Specter have a famously cordial relationship. Does preparing for a hearing like this put any pressure or any tension on that?
SEN. PATRICK LEAHY: No. I mean, we often have times we vote differently. We often have times we take even within the Judiciary Committee different views on things. But we have a great deal of respect for each other and each other's ability. And I think you have that old prosecutors' bond where we can usually work things out.
GWEN IFILL: What should Americans who are watching these hearings next week be listening for?
SEN. PATRICK LEAHY: They should listen to those senators who actually ask questions. And those who want to just simply give a speech, either for or against Judge Roberts without asking questions, frankly I'd ignore them. I don't care which party they belong to.
Listen to those asking questions and see if those questions give you a view of a justice who could fairly hear your case, no matter who you are in America. Do you feel satisfied this man could hear a case involving me? If you're satisfied with that, then you've got a good justice. If you're not satisfied with that, you have reason for concern.
GWEN IFILL: And what will you be listening for as he answers those questions?
SEN. PATRICK LEAHY: Basically the same thing. You know, there's only 101 people that get a say in this: The president, of course, most importantly in making the nomination, and then the 100 senators. We have to stand in the shoes of 280 million Americans.
I think some of my fellow senators sometimes don't realize the responsibility that is. It's not a responsibility to jump to an instant conclusion. It's a responsibility to take your time, really pay attention because we're representing all 280 million Americans. And I want to make sure that when I vote — at this moment I have absolutely no idea how I will vote — but I want to know when I vote I feel I've carried that responsibility.
GWEN IFILL: In all of the years that you've been following this process and been involved in it, what have you learned from past Supreme Court nomination processes that you would apply to this one?
SEN. PATRICK LEAHY: I've learned that it is wise to wait to make up your mind. I look at the both the right and the left cite the case of Robert Bork without appearing as though they were actually at the hearing.
Before the Bork hearing began, I suspect he had a majority if not all of the members of the Judiciary Committee were going to vote for him. Now at that hearing went on and as the answers to his questions came out, some of them were actually rather strange answers, you could see the change within the committee.
And ultimately the committee voted against him. Ultimately the Senate Republicans and Democrats voted against him. But also the American public watching the hearing, you could tell from the calls to the offices to all of us, Republicans and Democrats that public opinion turned very strongly against him.
So the thing is wait until you get in there. Who knew about Anita Hill before the hearing began? Sandra Day O'Connor, when she was nominated there was a lot of concerns expressed by some of the liberal groups that, well, she's a conservative from Arizona, a conservative legislator and all. The vote on her was 99-0. It was a very good vote. Some of these same groups that were critical of her when she was first nominated are now the ones who say, boy, we need another justice just like Sandra Day O'Connor. Keep your powder dry.
GWEN IFILL: Senator Leahy, thank you.
SEN. PATRICK LEAHY: It's good to be with you.

Hutch Bailie Jr. a little upset with the upper crust Repubs in this piece.
I cannot understand why these people are bringing up immigration when only 3% of Americans even have it on their radar. We are poised to crush the Left in 2014 and these delusional "inside the beltway" ruling class elitists are listening to the Chamber of Commerce and Karl Rove!

Lopez & Seward Joined By County Clerks Opposing DMV Fee Hikes
September 18, 2009
Assemblyman Pete Lopez (R, C, I – Schoharie) and State Senator James Seward (R, C, I – Oneonta) were joined by Schoharie County Clerk Indica Jaycox, Greene County Clerk Mike Flynn, Columbia County Clerk Holly C. Tanner and Rensselaer County Clerk Frank Merola, along with elected officials, including eight area town supervisors, at a press conference held this morning outside of the Schoharie County Department of Motor Vehicles (DMV) office. The group united to express their opposition to the recent increase in DMV license and registration fees. The state legislators also presented a series of proposed budget cuts to offset the anticipated $82.4 million in tax and fee revenue from the new DMV hikes. "The bottom line is that upstate and rural communities are being hit again. Utility taxes are up, DMV registration and license fees are up and, what's worse, the mandatory replacement of car plates and driver's licenses of this provision. The three men need to know that they can no longer irresponsibly spend on the backs of upstate," said Assemblyman Lopez. Senator Seward said, "We need cars to get to work, school, the doctor, and our kids' athletic events. The Democrats who approved these tax increases either don't understand that or just don't care. I do, which is why I voted against every one of these tax and fee increases that are kicking upstate motorists right in the rear bumper." While both legislators and the county clerks previously announced their opposition to the DMV hikes at a rally in Kingston, when the first round of hikes went into effect on September 1, both Assemblyman Lopez and Senator Seward have been working to find ways to alleviate the budget burden from upstate. In fact, at the press conference, they announced a series of specific proposed cost-saving measures, which they hope the State Legislature and Governor will address when session is reconvened to address budget cuts. Their plan includes:
- Consolidating redundant or underutilized agencies, such as merging the Thruway Authority into the Department of Transportation. Their plan would protect rank-and-file employees, but tackle high cost administrative appointment positions, many of which are patronage "no show" jobs. This would save between $266 million and $1 billion;
- All state agencies should immediately enact a 5 percent reduction in non-personnel spending, such as travel, postage and transportation. This would save taxpayers an estimated $138 million. A 10 percent reduction would save $212 million. Additionally, if agencies made a one percent cut in outside contracts, taxpayers would save another $519 million;
- Suspending any new leases or purchases of vehicles, except for safety purposes, would save taxpayers $10 million;
- While both legislators strongly support land preservation, they recognize that given the fiscal plight of the state now is not the time to make recreational purchases. By temporarily freezing the purchase of recreational lands, taxpayers would save at least $78 million;
- Thinking outside the box and making use of existing resources: for example, Assemblyman Lopez recently helped deliver nearly $100,000 worth of unused farm equipment to SUNY Cobleskill. The equipment had been previously used in area prison programs, but due to prison closures, the equipment was simply sitting in storage in a state warehouse;
- Enforcing a state law to collect cigarette taxes on Native American reservations would bring in a new revenue source worth $500 million;
- Tackling Medicaid fraud, waste and abuse, estimated to be 10 percent of total Medicaid spending, could save taxpayers hundreds of millions within the next few years; and
- To safeguard taxpayers in the future, the state should adopt a spending cap to avoid "record-breaking" and irresponsible budgets.

SWINDON'S Dennis Smith is aiming to keep his cool as the race for a spot at the end-of-year World Darts Championship hots up in Barnsley this weekend.
The PDC veteran is currently in a three-way tie for 46th place in the PDC ProTour Order of Merit, with only the top 16 players outside the world's top 32 in the main Order of Merit making it through to Alexandra Palace next month.
With a host of players in-and-around him, Smith needs to pick up some prize money from the final Players Championship events on Saturday and Sunday if he is going to add to his impressive number of appearances in world darts' showpiece event.
But the Hungerford-born man is determined to stay calm, and is aiming to play his natural game when he travels to Yorkshire this weekend.
"I have got to go there and pick money up, it is as simple as that," he said.
"But there is no point worrying about it because it puts too much pressure on yourself, but I have played in a lot of Players Championship events and I will just treat this like any other one I have been in.
"I am not setting myself a target or anything like that, and I don't really want to think about money.
"My form is good, and all I want to do is go out there, play my game, and see how I go. I have been practicing hard and getting plenty of match practice, so there is no reason I can't do well.
"Of course getting to the World Championship would be great because it has been a part of my life for over 20 years, but I will not be thinking about that and I will just play my game.
"It is a matter of going out there, playing well, and also getting the right draw because that is important."
Smith his hoping to put his rivals for the remaining qualifying spots under pressure by picking up money and not leaving it until Sunday, and is also hoping they will get caught up worrying about their destiny."
"I am hoping they go into this thinking too much about the World Championship and putting a lot of pressure on themselves to perform," he said. "If I can pick up more money than they do on the Saturday I can put even more pressure on them, and it would be perfect to go out there and put it to bed on Saturday and have a nice relaxing Sunday."
Smith's fellow Swindon thrower Johnny Haines has all-but booked his place at Alexandra Palace already but will also travel to Barnsley looking to add to his prize money, as will youngster Chris Aubrey.
