SALT LAKE CITY — Democratic Rep. Jim Matheson and Republican Mia Love tried to articulate the differences between them while attempting to define each other at the same time during a spirited debate Thursday.
The 30-minute exchange on KSL-TV waded into familiar territory, with the 4th Congressional District candidates hammering on themes that have defined the nasty race so far and will likely carry it to Election Day.
Love and Matheson went after each other right out of the gate when asked to explain their key differences.
Matheson took Love to task for wanting to eliminate federal college student loans and voting to raise property taxes.
"Every day what I do is put Utah first, above party, politics or personal ambition. I think we need someone who's looking for that type of approach instead of the partisan gridlock that exists in Washington," Matheson said.
Love jumped on Matheson for supporting President Barack Obama and said a vote for the six-term congressman means more spending, bigger debt and less freedom.
"First and foremost, I'm a wife, a mother, a concerned citizen. I believe we can change lives right here on the ground," she said.
Love has floated a plan that would cut federal spending nearly $780 billion, including ending student financial aid and local police grants. Matheson has jumped on those two items throughout the campaign and did so again during the debate.
"I've actually put a list out there and I'm being treated like Paul Ryan in terms of looking at some of the specifics of the plan that may not be popular with voters," Love said.
Love called it a starting point for a discussion on federal spending. Matheson doesn't see it that way.
"This is not a starting point. This is a plan," he said waving the three-page document the Love campaign distributed before the state GOP convention in April.
Matheson said Love proposes cuts that would be damaging to economic opportunity. "When we want to tell students, 'Guess what? There's no student aid after she took it herself, that doesn't bode well for our future."
Love seem to backtrack on that issue, saying near the end of the debate, "I'm not calling for doing away with student loans." She advocated "free market" options that would keep college students from having to go into debt.
The candidates also tussled over the Affordable Care Act, commonly referred to as Obamacare.
Matheson said he voted against the health care reform bill three times and also voted to repeal it because it doesn't solve the underlying problem of rising costs.
But Love pointed to a January 2011 vote, when Matheson voted against the repeal. "That's been his position. Anybody can look it up," she said. "That's been his position until this spring."
Matheson said he has always opposed the health care act but voted against the repeal last year so the Supreme Court could review the law. "It just frustrates her that she couldn't put me in this box," he said, adding "we're the same on this issue."
"We'll get you the information," Love retorted.
Love and Matheson also addressed the negative TV ads that have permeated the race, including those paid for by political action committees outside Utah.
Matheson said the campaign should focus on the issue of the day rather than overwhelm voters with simple rhetoric. "It puts an extra burden on all of us to separate the wheat from the chaff in these elections," he said.35 comments on this story
Love said if candidates know PAC ads are putting out false information about their opponents, they should ask them to remove it.
Gov. Gary Herbert weighed in on the 4th District race Thursday, calling for an end to negativity at the taping of his monthly news conference.
"For those who are out there involved in the negative side of either of their campaigns, I call upon them to stop it. The people of Utah don't want to hear the negativity," the GOP governor said. "We want to hear what you can offer."

West Michigan Spa Owner Apologizes To Boy With Autism
After a week filled with backlash, including a Facebook page with nearly 9,000 likes encouraging people to boycott her salon, M-Spa owner Michelle Mott has issued an apology to the family and the autistic boy who she allegedly berated in her salon on a Saturday afternoon because the boy was crying during his haircut.
This is the first time that Mott has apologized since the incident on Saturday, May 25th. Another patron of the salon posted about the incident on Facebook, and the post went viral, receiving over 35,000 shares, and causing a lot of backlash against the salon.
Mott released this statement today:
To say that the last few days at M-Spa have been challenging is an understatement. We are all aware of the significant attention given to a Facebook posting regarding a recent haircut for one of our spa's youngest customers. Social media has been used to create an impression of me and this event in ways which do not fairly reflect who I am and which seek to silence differing viewpoints about what occurred. While this is very unfortunate, I am not going to review those differences here.
Rather, I want to say that my actions were not intended to create any hardship or embarrassment for little Grayson or his parents. And while I believed that Grayson's parents understood that, when Mrs. Bays stayed for her highlight and cut at our spa right after Grayson had left with his father, I want to reassure the Bays family of this point. I apologize to Grayson and the Bays for any embarrassment or hardship that they have experienced by my actions.
We look forward to better days ahead and we will continue to strive to be the best spa in southwest Michigan. To those who have voiced displeasure with me or with my spa over this incident, I will work hard to regain your faith in our services. To those who have indicated that my business should be boycotted, I would ask only that you consider the impact of such a boycott upon the many families who derive some portion or all of their livelihood from our spa. To those who have withheld judgment or have voiced support over the last few days, including my treasured customers and employees, I extend my heartfelt appreciation.

Reynoldsburg classes canceled Thursday evening due to power outage More
Route Maps
Here are some routes into campus
These routes are suggested by current commuters. Have a route to suggest? Mark it up using Google Maps and post it to the Cougar Cranks Facebook page or email it to Cougar Cranks.
Take the Trails
Alum Creek Trail and the Olentangy Greenway offer mostly car-free access to downtown. You can take the Alum Creek Trail from Westerville with only a few sections of shared roadway.Click on map to the right for a larger view.
Likewise, you can travel from Worthington Hills to downtown on the Olentangy Greenway. There are many places to park and access the trail such as Antrim and Whetstone Parks.Click on map to the left for a larger view.
There is a well marked shared roadway connection between the two two trail systems so you can access either via low-traffic volume streets. Click on map below for a larger view:
A nicer route if you're coming down Cleveland Ave. from the north:
As far north as Hudson Ave., you can come over to the Lowe's store, and take the street that runs in front of it, Velma Ave. That will take you down past the Crew Stadium and the Historical Society to 17th Ave. Go left on 17th, and turn right onto Clara Ave. (where the McDonald's sits). Clara will take you down to 11th, and a quick right and you will see Essex on the left. Essex will take you down to Cleveland Ave. just north of 5th Ave. Once on Cleveland, take the very immediate left onto Shoemaker, and you can ride through the Wendy's parking lot, cross over 5th Ave. into the Milo Grogan neighborhood. N. 9th Street is directly opposite the Wendy's lot, and you can ride through that neighborhood down to 2nd Ave. Go left, and take it to St. Clair. Right on St. Clair (do stay on the sidewalk as you go over the bridge), and that will connect you with the bike trail on Jack Gibbs. Follow to Cleveland Ave. and campus.
A route in from the Short North:
Take Hunter Ave. starting from King Ave. Follow down to W. 1st Ave. Turn left on 1st, then right on Park Street. Follow Park all the way past Goodale Park, until it becomes Front St. downtown. Continue on to Nationwide, turn left at Nationwide and follow into campus. (Nationwide becomes E. Naghten St. when you cross N. 4th St.)

MV-L snatches Marion winMay 03, 2013 · Crystal Eskelsen
Mustang Guillermo Vega was finally able to find the back of the net with his shot in the second half to give the Mustangs the 1-0 lead and eventually the win by that same score.
Earlier in the week, Mount Vernon lost to Dyersville Beckman 5-0. After falling behind in the first half by a score of 3-0, not much changed in the second half as the Blazers continued to dominate.
"Beckman currently sits in the top of the standings in our conference and they surely proved why," said Diego Zaltron, MV-L head coach. "They displayed a great style of soccer and were lethal offensively."
The Mustangs also lost a close game last Friday when they hosted rival Solon. It was scoreless for most of the game, and then the Spartans scored late in the second half to take a 1-0 lead. That single goal was the difference in the game as Solon sneaked away with the 1-0 victory.
"We have many things to improve," Zaltron said. "We have many things to learn. We are hoping the weather gets better so we can practice outside. The kids are keeping the faith and keep working hard to turn a bad few games around."
The Mustangs host Western Dubuque tonight (Thursday, May, 2). This coming Tuesday they host Williamsburg.

Beacon Economics forecasts that the median price for resale single-family homes in San Diego County will surpass its pre-recession peak of $571,000 in about four years.
"We expect the population to continue to rise at a modest pace, per capita incomes will continue to grow as well, and the labor markets will continue to improve," said Jordan Levine, director of Economic Research for Beacon, a Los Angeles-based research and consulting firm. "We're undersupplied on housing as is the rest of the state from a historical perspective. So prices should continue to rise in the absence of some external shock."
Specifically, the unemployment rate for San Diego County will continue to decline, dropping to below 6 percent by the middle of 2015, below 5 percent by the end of 2016 and to 4.5 percent by mid-2018, when it expects the median home value for single-family resales to surpass the pre-recession peak, according to the Beacon report released last week.
The median price for single-family resales in the fourth quarter for San Diego County was $453,000 — a 15.5 percent gain from the same period a year ago due in large part to the shortage of homes for sale, Beacon cited.
Yet the median value for single-family resales of $453,000 was still about 21 percent below the pre-recession peak of $571,000, which was set in the first quarter of 2006, according to Beacon.
But in a few years, there will be a new record price tag for a resale single-family home, albeit it will be achieved at a slower rate. Expect annual price growth to slow to 6 percent to 8 percent over the next year and then after that, 4 percent to 6 percent annually, Beacon said.
The "period where investors bought up the 'bargain' properties has largely passed now that prices have appreciated back up to more normal levels," Levine said. "We expect the market to begin shifting back to the retail owner-occupied market over the next year, so growth will be driven more by income growth rather than speculative buying or investor-driven sales."
Two days before Beacon released its latest forecast, real-estate tracker DataQuick reported March numbers, which also show a continued trend of slowing annual appreciation.
The median home value rose 12.4 percent in March vs. the same month a year ago. Annual appreciation has remained below 16 percent since last November. By contrast, the median local home price gained more than 20 percent annually for six consecutive months beginning in April 2013 through September 2013, DataQuick figures show.

text: Wondering if there is anybody out there that can understand this weird problem on my 2007 Audi S3... My horn and buttons on the steering wheel do not work at all, nor do they light up. It seems there is no power to them. I had it in at Audi today for a service and mentioned it to them, they took it apart and made sure everything was connected properly which it was. Now they want 2 hours labour just to investigate the problem! On VCDS I remember them saying something like no operating power to the steering control unit. Background info... I replaced the MFSW with a FBMFSW about 2 months ago. Everything was plug and play and worked fine. Around 2 weeks ago, my horn stopped working but everything else still functioned. Now, everything has completely packed up. Any ideas?

Freshmen Engineers Participate in Design Challenge
Over 250 freshman engineering students working in teams of two or three students will participate in the 2010 Freshman Engineering Design Challenge on October 7 from 6pm to 9pm in the COE Library Atrium. The course is required of all freshmen entering engineering to help transition them to the University and College environment.
The 2010 challenge is to create a robot powered by various motors, elastic bands, or other mechanical systems, that will climb a carpet suspended from the ground floor of the library. Robots are to be designed, built, and tested to optimize the team's point score, which also reflects their project grade. Groups of 2-3 students create their robots as part of the Introduction to Engineering class held during the fall semester. The successful robot model must make the climb up the wall created for the challenge, completing at least a two vertical feet climb to qualify.
The design challenge, organized by Dr. Charles Dolan, H.T. Person Chair in the College of Engineering and Applied Science, will give the freshmen class their first taste of engineering design. The challenge also provides an opportunity for freshmen engineering students to apply team work, creativity, problem solving, critical thinking, ethics, safety, and innovative designs related to their field in engineering or applied science.
On the day of the challenge, each group will have five minutes to make a successful run. The run must be completed to at least 50% of the average height of the five developmental trial runs. Each robot must function autonomously, meaning it cannot be touched or assisted by a group member while operating. Following the challenge, student groups will have an opportunity to comment on improvements to their specific design and the elements that contributed to their particular success in the challenge.
The event is open to the public. For further details about this and other design challenges, please contact the College at (307) 766-4253.

Mesa's infamous Starlite Motel diving lady sign was torn down by a storm on October 5th. But, have no fear, there are rescue attempts being made!
(Courtesy of Jim Walsh – Arizona Republic)
Mesa's iconic neon diving-lady sign sits crumpled in the Starlite Motel parking lot, its sheet-metal housing dented and its shattered neon tubing stripped by scavengers intent on preserving a memory.
But fans of neon signs, historic preservationists and city officials alike want to see the lady make her graceful, gaudy swan dive again along East Main Street.
Minal Patel, son of motel owner Bob Patel, said he has received hundreds of e-mails from supporters who want to see the sign repaired or replaced with a replica since it was sheared from its pole during a storm Oct. 5.
Minal is collecting three bids for restoring the sign, which he will submit to an insurance company.
He's also meeting with Mesa officials this week to discuss reinstalling the sign, even though it's too tall to comply with the city's sign ordinance.
Meanwhile, Mesa historian and preservationist Vic Linoff is leading a drive to incorporate a non-profit group, the Mesa Historic Preservation Foundation, so it can collect contributions to restore the sign as well as preserve Mesa's other fading icons.
"If we could work together, it would be a great accomplishment to see the sign up and running again," Linoff said.
But it's uncertain whether that's even possible.
Stanford Russon, 89, of Lehi, Utah, the artist whose lifelike sketch was set in motion for 50 years by the handiwork of the late neon virtuoso Paul Millet, said the level of damage to the sheet-metal boxes that make up the sign is critical. He said new pieces of neon tubing would need to be bent and retrofitted into the sign.
"There were actually three different diving girls. I would say it could be rebuilt," said Russon, who has not inspected the damage. "The unit that makes up the girl, if they weren't damaged too badly, I would say it wouldn't be hard to put it back together."
Patel said four of the sign's eight metal boxes were damaged when it fell, with pieces on the top dented the most. One metal figure of the woman was badly dented; the other two sustained lesser damage.
He said some people are urging him to replace the 78-foot tall flashing sign with a replica, but Larry Graham, a Mesa neon-sign maker and protege of Millet, disagrees.
"I'd rather restore it. That piece is famous," Graham said. "That's a nostalgic piece. That was one of his (Millet's) better pieces."
Graham said he would like to submit a bid for restoring the diving lady and plans to contact Patel.
It does not appear Mesa will block the restoration efforts, even though city ordinance bars any sign more than 12 feet tall and no longer allows blinking neon signs.
Gordon Sheffield, the city's zoning administrator, said only the Buckhorn Baths sign has been designated as historical by the City Council. That means Patel would have to go before the Mesa Board of Adjustment for a public hearing to win approval.
Sheffield recommends Patel put together an application for a "comprehensive sign plan," which would allow the board to evaluate the sign based on historical value.
"I have never heard anyone say anything bad about that sign," he said.
Rob Nelson, Millet's grandson, said that if his grandfather were alive, "he'd be leading the charge to put it back up, I can guarantee you that."
The sign was one of his grandfather's few remaining large signs, he said.
An 80-foot-tall cowboy with a lasso at the Roundup Theatre, a Glendale drive-in, no longer exists, so the diving lady "was one of his crown jewels," he said.
Nelson added that Millet built a smaller sign in front of the motel in 1959, and built the diving lady a year later.
His bill was $6,000. Millet and Nelson restored the sign in 1999, repainted it, replaced some neon, transformers, wiring and whatever else was needed. That job cost $6,000 as well.
Even if it can be salvaged, Nelson said the sign would never be the same, kind of like when a band's lead dies and a new singer takes over. But he still would love to see it back up again, with as much salvaged pieces as possible.

<\/figure>Don't wait to deliver bad news hoping that you might fix everything with a mad sprint to the finish. All-nighters suck. And if you lead a team, overtime is a myth.<\/strong><\/p>\n
There are times when optimism has gotten us in trouble. I've noticed this in a lot of freelancers. After all, we can do it all! We think, "gosh this deadline is looking tight, looks like I get to do another few all-nighters. No worries, I can pull this off." We have all done our fair share. Some times we even glorify it<\/a> like it is a badge of honor. Peter has done six all-nighters this year and not a single one of them turned out to be necessary.<\/p>\n
I have been thinking a lot about the myth of overtime. Every time we have had our team push really hard doing "overtime", we always have an accompanying undertime following it. I think most people only have a certain number of viable work hours in them in an given period. I find I am happier and more productive, as is our whole crew, when we are not being rushed and have time to explore ideas, make mistakes and enjoy our life. A periodic push is rewarding, but is it as necessary as modern thinking makes it out to be?
\n
\nI have noticed that the all-nighter fairy tale story usually has one of three endings:<\/p>\n
1. You pull it off and everyone rejoices.<\/h3>\n
It happens (really it can). You feel great and exhilarated. And if you happen to be like me, you are absolutely useless for the next two days. All your other projects are put on hold while you catch up on episodes of Heroes and read blogs because you are too tired to actually be creative. Not a horrible thing to take time off, but meanwhile the work piles up creating more urgencies. In my head it's a toss up.<\/p>\n
2. The client responds surprised, "the deadline was today?"<\/h3>\n
You finish, you are exhausted, you turn it in, and the client looks at you surprised and says, "the deadline was today? I thought it was next week." Or, they explain that they had to push the launch due to internal reasons, that they will look at your comps or module when they have time. Or my favorite, they take 3 days to respond to your I'm done email. This is by far our most common ending. Five of our six all-nighters have ended this way. In fact, I am slowly coming to the conclusion that all deadlines are fabrications of the owner's or executive's ego.<\/p>\n
3. You fail and unhappiness ensues.<\/h3>\n
You push on and in the end fail to meet the deadline, which ends in an awkward, unhappy dialog. These suck. And they cause you to lose clients. And they make you grumpy and fight with your spouse. And hurt your self esteem. As we learned with all-nighter number 6, take the beating up front. At least that way you will probably keep the client because they will appreciate your open communication. That is almost a direct quote from the cranky client.<\/p>\n
Common mom, just let me go to bed!<\/h3>\n
We have had all of these endings happen. Each time, we walked away with the understanding that if we had just asked our client and communicated the challenge, they usually worked with us to find a pleasant resolution that did not require an all-nighter. And if they insist that the all-nighter is necessary, and you still miss the deadline, then you can play the "Hey, I came to you and said this probably won't happen, and you pushed and I DID AN ALL-NIGHTER. We are doing everything humanly possibly to give you the best service available" card.<\/p>\n
Let me tell you, I may sound just a touch cynical on this topic, but I am absolutely not. Notice that Peter is the one who did the all-nighters, not me (haha, I only did two). I am learning not to put up with that Sh*t. If we are not going to make it, I'd rather face the music than spin the all-nighter wheel, but to each their own. Six spins later, I think Peter is slowly coming to my way of thinking.<\/p>\n
I bet you all have some awesome all-nighter stories. What was your last all-nighter? Did it work out? Do you love them like Brandon does (he seems to do them every few weeks) or loath them like I do?<\/em><\/p>\n
If you liked this article, they only get better (cuz this sure isn't my best one). The next word of the day is coming up next and you don't want to miss it, so click here to subscribe<\/a> now!<\/p>\n
Oh, and there is a pretty sick conversation going on about doing what you love vs loving what you do<\/a> in the comments of the previous post. Definitely go check it out. I have enormous passion on this topic and would love to have more people join.<\/p>\n

In response to requests from Plumbing Manufacturers Intl. (PMI) and its members, as well as from other supporters of the U.S....
MTBE Phaseout to Be Completed Statewide by Governor's Deadline
Chevron U.S.A. Inc., a subsidiary of ChevronTexaco Corp., announced that beginning this month, it will take another major step towards eliminating methyl tertiary-butyl ether, or MTBE, from all Chevron-branded gasoline sold in California.
Starting with the Southern California market in January 2003 and in a changeover that will be completed by May, Chevron will offer the third generation of California Cleaner-Burning Gasoline, which uses ethanol as an oxygenate instead of MTBE. Chevron will complete its statewide phase-out of MTBE in compliance with the December 2003 deadline established by California Governor Gray Davis.
"Our customers have told us they want MTBE out of gasoline, and we have been moving forward diligently and carefully with plans to eliminate MTBE from gasoline in California," said Dave Reeves, president of North America Products, a refining and marketing division of Chevron U.S.A. Inc.
To meet the regulatory requirement that oxygen be added to gasoline, Chevron made the substantial infrastructure changes needed to replace MTBE with ethanol in Southern California. Starting in 2004, ethanol is the only approved oxygenate for California Cleaner Burning Gasoline.
"We've made good progress with meeting the many difficult logistical, technical and permitting challenges that must be overcome to remove MTBE statewide," said Reeves. "We began in 1997 by making non-oxygenated gasoline at our Richmond refinery in Northern California, where we recently produced our four billionth gallon of cleaner-burning gasoline without adding MTBE or any other oxygenate. We're taking this important step in Southern California now and will complete the transition to gasoline without MTBE in Northern California later this year. In the meantime," he continued, "we remain focused on supplying our customers with gasoline in a competitive and reliable manner."
Chevron's cleaner-burning gasoline with ethanol will have more of the air quality benefits of today's gasoline, but without the water pollution concerns attributed to MTBE.
In the United States, Chevron markets gasoline, diesel fuel and other petroleum products. With six petroleum refineries and 8,200 Chevron branded retail outlets, it serves customers in 28 states, primarily in the West, Southwest and South and in the District of Columbia. In California, the company has 18 percent of the retail market share and two refineries -- El Segundo refinery (260,000 bpd) and Richmond refinery (225, 000 bpd).

Interesting content. I read reviews that raved about the fascinating content. They must of been friends of the author or total nerds about the characteristics of sounds.
Talked less about the reveberation characteristics of an empty fuel tank and more about unusual / unexplained sounds generated by nature / the earth.
When the book was finished.
No I've already spent more time talking about this book than it deserved.
"Reader prounounces every sentence the same."
An audiobook version of a written text about aural phenomena is a bit... oxymoronic. But the narrator's utter lack of range--every sentence is identical, no kidding--is simply moronic.

This Season, Some Light Displays Sacrificed
"Brunswick, Ohio, saved $20,000 by reducing downtown lighting, paring $2,000 from the city's holiday party and canceling a $5,000 fireworks display.
'It's one of the toughest decisions I've had to make,' City Manager Bob Zienkowski says. 'I've had e-mails and calls calling me everything from Scrooge to the Grinch but just as many calls from people saying you have to live within your means.'
A local company donated $10,000 to keep some holiday lights glowing in Brunswick."

Artificial islands designed to reduce pollution, and constructed from recycled water bottles, were launched Wednesday on Spring Lake by neighbors from Minneapolis' Lowry Hill.
The artificial islands are planted with native plants that can help reduce pollution in the lake, according to landscape architect Craig Wilson. The bottles are from a company in St. Paul.
Spring Lake was given to the Minneapolis Park Board in 1893 as a wildlife sanctuary, but now it's polluted with excess fertilizer and salt that runs off a nearby snow storage area. The surrounding park is overgrown with invasive plants.
"One of the islands in fact is going to be hosting strawberry patches, and the strawberries will be uptaking nutrient from the lake and then feeding birds and other wildlife," Wilson said.
Students from nearby Blake School will monitor water quality and try to learn which plants work best to cut pollution. Some of the plants on the islands will help purify polluted water; others will provide food and habitat for animals.
"We'll be targeting amphibians, reptiles, and a variety of birds," Wilson said. "And then underneath the island, fish will find the habitat very well suited to their needs, providing roots and other things to nibble on."
Organizers say the idea could work on many of Minnesota's lakes.
