CAIRO -- Just getting thousands of protesters into the streets of Tehran despite fears of beating and arrest was a victory for the Iranian opposition, but the first protest in nearly two weeks also displayed the movement's limitations.
Iran's clerical rulers are betting that with no clear leader and security forces bearing down, such dramatic shows of discontent will be hard to sustain.
What the thousands of mainly young men and women marching Thursday did have going for them was determination. When security forces charged, beating them with batons, protesters scattered, regrouped nearby and resumed their chants of "death to the dictator." They pumped their fists or flashed victory signs in the air, dashing for cover when police fired clouds of tear gas.
One witness account posted online Friday described a girl shoving a police officer who grabbed her then punching him in the stomach before escaping. Protesters blocked roads with chunks of concrete, trying to stop the motorcycles of the feared Basiji militiamen from reaching the crowds.
There were also signs of support from those who didn't join in. Amid the turmoil, shopkeepers and residents let fleeing protesters slip into their homes or shops. Motorists blasted car horns as a sign of their backing for the protesters.
It was a powerful morale booster for activists who have been living in fear since Iran's clerical leadership cracked down and put an end to the massive street rallies that erupted in the wake of the country's June 12 presidential elections.
Notably missing, however, was the man whose name many of the demonstrators chanted: Mir Hossein Mousavi, the pro-reform candidate they say was cheated of victory in the elections by vote fraud. Mousavi and other mainstream reform politicians appear to have had little role in organizing the demonstrations.
Mousavi in part may have feared arrest if he came out in support of more street demonstrations. But he has also given signals the past week that the time for protests has past, hinting he could start a political party to press his demands for change within the system.
The election dispute has demonstrated that many Iranians are unhappy with their government -- but there is no consensus on how to harness that anger and to what end. Some are looking for dramatic change in Iran's cleric-ruled Islamic Republic -- even its removal -- but politicians like Mousavi come from the heart of the system and want to preserve it with some reforms.
"There's still an opposition movement, but it's not united," said Alireza Nader, an Iran specialist with the Washington-based RAND Corp. think tank.
Mousavi and most pro-reform leaders see the protests as leverage against the clerical leadership and hardline President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad, but they don't want anger on the streets to get out of control, he said. "They don't want to press things to far. They don't want to bring down the system," Nader said.
As a result, Thursday's marches were largely inspired by young activists and students using the Internet to get the word out. They were able to make a startlingly strong showing with such informal methods -- but doing so consistently at a time when activists are being arrested may prove difficult.
The protests that erupted in the weeks immediately following the election were far larger, with hundreds of thousands from all levels of society filling Tehran's broad avenues. When security forces moved against them, the violence left at least 20 protesters dead and hundreds arrested. In the days that followed, raids snatched up more activists, journalists, bloggers and pro-reform politicians. In all, more than 2,500 were detained, with at least 500 still in detention, according to the prosecutor general.
The number arrested Thursday is not known. Tehran's police chief, Azizullah Rajabzadeh, told the semi-official Mehr news agency on Friday that "very few" were detained. He did not give an exact number.
The New York-based International Campaign for Human Rights in Iran, however, said dozens were taken by security forces. It quoted one witness who saw three police vans filled with protesters.
Also arrested was an Iranian-American scholar, Kian Tajbakjsh, who was seized by police from his home late Thursday, according to a relative in the United States who is in touch with Tajbakhsh's wife. Tajbakhsh was arrested in 2007 and spent four months in prison on suspicion of fomenting unrest in Iran.
Pro-reform Web sites also reported that members of the Basij, a paramilitary militia that has helped put down protests, stormed into a dormitory of Amirkabir University on Thursday night, beating students and setting off tear gas. A number of students remain unaccounted for, the reports said.
Still, despite the scenes of mayhem Thursday, security forces stopped short of the all-out assault that some authorities had promised. Police are likely wary of causing deaths that would spark a backlash and more of the public into the streets.
A leading cleric delivering Tehran's main prayer sermon on Friday took a soft tone, saying all those who voted in the election were "brothers and sisters" -- but underlining that it was time for the opposition to drop its campaign.
"In most countries, defeated candidates do not continue their objections after the election. Those who do no not win should not pursue the issues any longer," Ayatollah Mohammed Imam Kashani told worshippers at Tehran University, where a day before protesters marched on the gates, blocked by lines of riot police.

I have to share a bit--I acquired a gently used Horn cabinet yesterday for my Bernina. What a JOY--the machine is so quiet, no rattles or vibrations. AND a shelf to hold the quilt as I fed it through the machine. It was almost fun to quilt the pinwheel quilt this afternoon. So much easier than when I had my machine sitting on the picnic table.
The scrappy diamond is a QAYG. I found these strips and diamonds when I was cleaning the room, reorganizing for the new cabinet.

text: Hi, I have two 18x24 cm Fidelity filmholders I want to trade for one 8x10 filmholder. Of the two I am offering one is excellent. The other however is not good. See photo's. It is missing the safety screws. The two darkslides has some dents in it. It doesn't show when using paper negatives but I cannot garantee it. And it has a crack near the top. It feels secure but it is a weak point. Since I already have 2 8x10 holders I would like to get another one. Regards, Peter

Scandinavian Defense 2...Qxd5; 3...Qa5: why not 4 Nf3?
9...Qxf6 is somewhat risky, but probably a better try than 9...gf6. See a game Howell- Papaioannou, in which Black won.
With best play white should have an advantage, but it's not entirely clear.
On 9...gf6, after the simple plan 10.0-0 Nd7 11.Nh4, as in a recent Caruana- Van Wely game, Black can only sit back and defend passively. I would never bother defending such depressing positions as Black. They are the Black player's worst nightmare- simple as that: defending weaknesses witout the slightest hint of counterplay. For the record, Van Wely managed to draw after inaccurate play by Caruana, but he was as good as lost for the longest part of the game.
I enjoy playing the Scandinavian myself but it is really undeniable that correct play by white leads to a devolepment advantage and strong pressure. I find this opening to be very passive for black. On the contrary the Scandinavian Gambit can lead to very interesting positions.
I do not want a game as I am mentally disabled with some brain damage in the area of my brian which has to do with spatial which affects my chess.
But, for fun, I will be glad to play an unrated game where I have
By the way after 1. e4 d5 2. e5?? I am sure best is 2. ... c5.

that opening is probably not advised as your main weapon though :P
play the improved scandinavian! the caro kann.
It was years ago when I tried to develop a repertoire for black against 1.e4 avoiding heavy theoretical lines. The more you play chess and learn new things, the more your likes and dislike change in openings.
birdmove would you give me the opening up to his d5? then i can probably tell you where you went wrong.
So it seems you were in fact being presumptuous.
Maybe, he was a little presumptuous but it shows character to admit a mistake.
Play them out as long as possible, maybe even 20 moves. It can often change its mind. Houdini also thinks that the main line of 1 e4 e6 2 d4 d5 3 Nc3 Nf6 4 Bg5 Bb4 5 e5 h6 6 Bd2 Bxc3 7 bxc3 Ne4 8 Qg4 is better for black.
Yes. plus .37 means a small advantage for White.
what is given for other openings? .37 seems above average starting opening score for an opening for
which means computer does not think scandinavian as good as other openings for
#50alexlaw wrote:
because all engines gave a +0.37 to the scandinavian (well i checked this BEFORE i played the game. Usually black doesn't make the correct move order and I get many games with me having 3 extra pieces developed.
normal pirc/sicilian/caro-kann etc gives somewhere between a +0.1 to a +0.25, which is almost equal. a +0.37 means a small advantage for white, right?
Who cares? Since when do we let engines decide our openings for us? It's supposed to be the other way around right!?
Computers are useless for proper openings' evaluation. This is known since the electrons were invented.
Development represents only one key in the judgement of a particular position. Even if engines are weak in openings (that's why they use opening books: to avoid mistakes, to get favorable positions out of the opening and also to disguise their lack of positional and strategic knowledge) there must be a reason if Larry Kaufman latest book on the opening repertoire is created and checked using the strongest engines like probably all GM repertoires today.

I guess we should always quote whoever we reply to, even if redundant. That way, a record is still kept.
After 1. e4 d5 2. exd5 Qxd5 3. Nf3 then Bg4 is a "must" as otherwise
White is able to set up a d4 and c4 control of the center on
Black and slowly squeeze Black into oblivian.
There is plenty of theory after 3. ... Bg4! and the line is fully playable
In general Black plays 3.. ... Bg4 4. ...Nc3 5. ...0-0-0. Of course if White plays Nc3 after the 4. ...Bg4 move then Black must move his Queen.
Actually the 3. Bg4! line is fun to play for Black
as for 4. ...Bg4 [after White plays Nc3 and Black moves his Queen and then Nf3 by White] that is a different ball of wax. It is different as White can no longer opt for the d4 and c4 squeeze line.

DULUTH, Minn. -- Billy Courchaine was known as a steady catcher and a dependable hitter with the Ottawa-Nepean Canadians from 1974-79.
And he played a little goal too.
"They phoned me last year to tell me I'd be inducted, I told them Billy should be first to go in," said Thunder Bay's Andy Speak after the College of St. Scholastica inducted its second Hall of Fame class on Friday.
Courchaine was in goal 1974-78 leading the CSS Saints to NAIA titles in 1975 and 1977, earning all-American honours three times.
"We beat Gustavus Adolphus College 7-1 in 1975, the second time we won we played them again," said Speak. "But they out shot us about 51-23. We kept yelling 'hold 'em Billy, we'll get you one.' We scored with 40 seconds remaining to win 3-2."
After graduation, Courchaine was asked to try out for the Minnesota North Stars and advanced through rookie camp in 1978.
"And for the past 16 years I've been with the NHL's Ottawa Senators," Courchaine said in his speech. "Yes, I finally made the NHL ... as director of corporate sales."
Courchaine told of making the 18-hour, Ottawa-Duluth drive and how after frosh weekend he expected to start skating, as "that's what we did in Canada." That was a no-no according to college rules, so the Saints worked out "something we did not do in Canada in the 1970s."
"Coach said time to run through the woods towards rifle range, I fell behind, lost the pack, zigged when I should of zagged and wound up along on the highway," Courchaine said. "A car stopped and it was a player driving home.
"Coach had called the Minnesota State troopers to organize a search party."
Courchaine was named the NAIA national tournament MVP in the 1977 and was twice named to the all-tournament team. In 1977, he tied the record for the most saves (97) in the three games. He ranks third in career saves (2,016) and shutouts (four) and was also recognized in the April 25, 1977 issue of Sports Illustrated's Faces in the Crowd column.
Now, an NCAA Division III school, St. Scholastia won 20 athletic titles in 2011-12, three more than any other NCAA school.
You're out! Eh
That plate ump working rookie-class Florida Gulf Coast League games at the Bobby Mattick complex in Dunedin, did have a Canadian accent. It was ever so slight.
Dave Attridge of Grimsby, Ont., finished his first season umpiring pro ball in the Gulf Coast League ended earlier this month.
Attridge credits his mom, Lori, for spotting an add in a newspaper about how the Burlington Optimist Minor Baseball Association was looking for umpires.
Kevin Glew of the web site Cooperstowners in Canada has an interesting read on the CanadianBaseballNetwork.com, on Attridge and his long road to the pro ranks.
Umpires don't have any games, no one cheers when they walk onto the field and in the minors you had best get along with your partner ... because you're driving to the next city together. There isn't a charter plane waiting like big league players.
Regina native Stu Scheurwater in the triple-A Pacific Coast League, Scott Costello of Barrie, who umpired class-A, New York Penn-League games and Attridge are the only three Canadians umpiring in the minors.
With GCL season over, Attridge has returned to Grimsby to officiate hoops games and look for work in the IT field.
A year ago Attridge was offered a chance to umpire in the independent American Association and Can-Am League, but couldn't obtain his work visa in time.
Almost each day during spring training there is a clubhouse meeting.
Learned experts tell players about the evils of gambling, the importance of staying away from "bad influences," the import of getting a trusted investor or advisor and club doctors explain the what players should ingest.
A decade ago a Canadian minor leaguer told us about a club doctor meeting with minor leaguers and telling them to stay away from the bright, shiny stores in malls that sold supplements and vitamins stores.
He explained how one performance-enhancing drug, banned by major league baseball, was sold in the non-regulated stores under 53 different names.
The message from the club was stay out of the bright, shiny stores in the mall ... don't take anything that we don't give you.

The two leading candidates in the Florida gubernatorial contest -- Gov. Rick Scott and former Gov. Charlie Crist -- relied on surrogates this week to reinforce their campaign messages.
Scott got some help from a longtime ally as Gov. Rick Perry, R-Texas, took a break from his efforts to lure jobs to the Lone Star State. He went to bat for his fellow Republican governor. In New York for much of this week, Perry, who is weighing making a second bid for the Republican presidential nomination in 2016, hit the national airwaves, appearing on several talk shows.
During his appearance on Your World on Fox News Wednesday, Perry weighed in on his challenge to debate Gov. Andrew Cuomo, D-N.Y., and offered praise to Scott and other Republican governors. Perry is in New York promoting Texas business climate and encouraging businesses based in the Empire State to look at relocating.
Therere two issues going on here; I dont make any apologies that I am a competitive governor and I come in to California, Illinois, or any other state, Perry said. Just as Bobby Jindal and Rick Scott come into Texas and say hey, wed like for you to take a look at Louisiana or take a look at Florida. Those are two really competitive governors out there and theres a host of others who are very competitive.
"I mean, what Mary Fallin does, Susana Martinez, Nikki Haley -- I mean those are governors that get it about tax, regulatory, legal policies and having a skilled workforce in place and making your state be competitive. I happen to think that our Founding Fathers knew what they were talking about when they discussed that 10th Amendment and said the federal government is supposed to do a few things and do it very well, enumerate those powers, and you states work out all these other things -- which says to me, lets compete against each other.
"Whos got the best tax policy?" Perry asks. "Whos got the best regulatory climate? Who has the best legal system for the people of your state? Then people will move and go to where they want to go. If that is the test, more people have migrated out of New York and California over the last decade than any two states to go to places where they can find some relief.
Perrys team also indicated this week that helping Scott will be one of Perry's chief political objectives in the 2014 election cycle. Having served as governor since George W. Bush left Austin to become president, Perry, the longest serving governor in Texas history, is not running again in November.
In recent months, Perry has shown no hesitation in throwing jabs Crists way. Back in November, appearing on a call with the media, Perry trashed Crists record in Tallahassee. Appearing at the Conservative Political Action Conference (CPAC) last month, he contrasted Crists record with Scotts.
"Under Rick Scott, Florida's unemployment rate has dropped for three straight years, when just four years ago -- four years ago -- his predecessor presided over the loss of more than 800,000 jobs and now that guy wants his job back, Perry said. And with a record like that, appropriately, he is running this time to seek it as a Democrat."
Crist also relied on a surrogate this week in his wife Carole, who tore into Scott on abortion.
Rick Scott scares me, Carole Crist insisted on Friday. I've yet to see him govern with my best interests -- or the interests of any other Florida woman -- at heart. And I'm done waiting.
In 2010, Scott ran on a proud anti-choice platform -- he believes wholeheartedly that Roe v. Wade should be overturned, she added. And every chance he gets, he'll poke holes in it. In 2011, the Legislature passed a bill that requires women to endure transvaginal ultrasounds before abortions -- an invasive and medically unnecessary procedure. That's the same bill that my husband flat-out vetoed when he was governor.
But Scott didn't just sign it -- he signed it, then threw a party at the governor's mansion to celebrate it, Carole Crist continued. Charlie has always said that government should stay out of the relationship between a woman and her doctor. Politicians don't get a say in this, end of story. But Scott disagrees.
Having won three state offices campaigning as a conservative Republican, Crist had traditionally defined himself as pro-life. He left the GOP in 2010 after being caught by Marco Rubio in the U.S. Senate primary but continued his bid with no party affiliation. Crist joined the Democrats at the end of 2012.

Some folks from Griffin stopped by our office during their recent PR tour and let us play with their new line of speakers. While the others may offer better sound (don't worry, I'll share those reviews with you soon), I was charmed by the journi's tiny, portable "classy boombox" qualities. They call it a "personal mobile speaker," which is just what it is. Close up the speaker looks like a clutch, but opened up it folds into a lightweight pyramid of sound. According to the reps, the battery works for up to 10 hours, so you can take the little speaker traveling, to a picnic or at your desk (they didn't let me play with it for that long so I can't stand by that claim!). If it doesn't last 10 hours it is powered by internal Lithium-Ion batteries, which can recharge with the included AC adapter or through your computer's powered USB port.
To work it you just slide your iPod into the dock (it works with other MP3 players as well) and spin a wheel to adjust the "wrapstand" around your player and hit play on your iPod or the remote. The wrapstand means the speaker works just as well with the mini or nano as it does the regular size iPod and it won't shift around in your bag.
To check out images and features of the Journi speaker,
Features: Apparently, two 50mm high/mid-range drivers and two 64mm passive radiators use SRS WOW digital technology to expand the audio image and sound of the journi speaker. The battery works 8-10 hours of play on a single charge via AC adapter or powered USB port and the device syncs your iPod with your computer's iTunes library as it charges. It does have an Auxiliary Audio Input for other digital music players.

MELBOURNE, Fla. - Melbourne police are searching for the culprits they say broke into the Melbourne Square Mall through the roof to hit a jewelry store.
Mall security reported the burglary at Reeds Jewelry Friday morning at 9:30 a.m. Authorities said the suspects have entered into the mall overnight or early morning hours and cut a hole in the roof.
Police said there's jewelry left in the store and that it appears items were targeted. An exact amount of jewelry stolen was unavailable.
Police also found a rope at the scene but it's not clear what the rope was being used for.
Officers did respond to an alarm call at the store at 5:02 a.m. While on scene, officers were not able to see the hole in the ceiling and the showroom was not in disarray.
Police said the merchandise that was stolen was taken by opening a rear sliding door to a display case. In addition, the steel security shutters to the business were closed and locked.
The mall is open for shoppers as police continue their investigation, mall officials said.

I absolutely love this product! I am 44 years old and this product evens out my skin tone and gives me a nice fresh glow. I have to say it is the first product i have purchased that actually does what it says. A nice natural coverage for everyday.
Really liked the lightweight formula and have included this in my Sunday makeup routine. Enough coverage that I'm not scary if I leave the house, but giving my skin some breathing space.
Easy to apply. I simply worked it onto my face with fingers. No need for a powder or much concealer.
I use an SPF moisturiser as well for extra protection.

like i said somewhere else, so those of us who were potentially looking forward to the singleplayer part the game will be disappointed with the neutered part, and those that just wanted to start yapping online with others will still be ticked off that they have to go through even a short singleplayer part.
so who's happy now? nobody. good start on the game guys.
again, what would've it have been that difficult to give players options? let those of us who were looking forward to it play it how it was MEANT to be, and those that could care less just skip the whole section and let them start at whatever level and configure their points as they want…

Town of Niagara repaving project moved up
TOWN OF NIAGARA – The plan to repave Richmond Avenue, one of the busiest roads in the town, has been moved up on the schedule and should be approved by the Town Board this month.
Highway Superintendent Robert Herman told the board Thursday at a work session that "the winter wasn't kind" to the road and it needs to be repaired about a year ahead of schedule. He said more than 50 percent of the road needs to be fixed.
Richmond comes into Military Road opposite of the Super Walmart property, and drivers leaving the busy area use it to avoid the congestion at the intersection of Military and Niagara Falls Boulevard.
"The traffic flow in the area is enormous," Herman explained.
He said the repair plans calls for the road to be milled down and covered with binder and top coat at a cost of $60,000-70,000. The product would last about seven years, he noted.
When the project was first proposed last month, Supervisor Steven Richards asked for it to be sent to the town traffic safety committee for feedback. Herman said he would make sure the board has the response by its work session next week.
Part of the plan is to also change nearby Homestead Avenue to a two-way road after widening it and completing necessary paving and drainage repairs. Homestead now only allows traffic to move away from Military.
In his proposal, Herman said Homestead residents would then be able to access their homes from either end of the road and the traffic flow from the area would move much smoother.

THE Chiltern Hills have remained unchanged for centuries, but now the threat of housing and a new railway line is looming over them.
These are some of the issues confronted head-on in a new plan on how the Chilterns Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty (AONB) should be protected over the next five years.
But as South Oxfordsire District Council needs to build 775 new homes a year by 2031, so protecting the Chilterns is high up on the council's agenda.

Published by the Chilterns Conservation Board, the management plan for 2014 to 2019 sets out how these and other threats will be tackled to preserve the area's natural beauty.
Now people are investigating the best way to club together and protect the stunning landscape, while still allowing the development needed.
Mike Fox, chairman of the Chinnor-based conservation board, said: "The future well-being of the Chilterns is dependent on everyone working together to conserve and enhance this special area.
"This management plan provides the framework to enable us to, collectively, maximise our effectiveness in managing the Chilterns AONB.
"There are many challenges ahead in the period this plan covers. These include the uncertainties of climate change, the spread of pests and diseases, the need for more houses, the demand for new development and the continuing aspiration to get more people to enjoy and appreciate the great outdoors.
"Should Parliament give the go-ahead for High Speed 2, it is essential that everything is done to minimise the damage and disruption, ideally by putting the railway in a full-length tunnel under the AONB."
Claire Forrest, information officer at the Chilterns Conservation Board, said: "The Chilterns is one of the finest areas of countryside in the UK and the Chilterns Conservation Board has put together this new five-year plan to help everyone work together to keep it special."
The management plan says the conservation board will "resist" any developments which could detract from the special character of the Chilterns. It also says the distinctive character of buildings in the area should be preserved.
The report adds that HS2 – the proposed high-speed railway line between London and Birmingham – should either go in a bored tunnel underneath the AONB, or the negative impacts of the railway line should be mitigated fully.
Ben Ruse, lead spokesperson for HS2 Ltd, said: "We are committed to protecting the environment, as per the mitigation measures set out in the Environmental Statement that was submitted to Parliament last November.
"The option of a tunnel all the way through the Chilterns AONB has been explored and given extensive consideration.
"However, we have clearly set out how the current proposals provide the best balance between route engineering design requirements, cost and the desire to minimise environmental impacts.
"These plans will now be considered as part of the Parliamentary petitioning process."
Leader of South Oxfordshire District Council Ann Ducker said: "Our Areas of Outstanding Natural Beauty and the Green Belt are the last areas we look for development after looking at the rest of the district.
"Only when the pressures get so great that there is no land left anywhere else will we look at them for housing."
AN Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty is countryside considered to have significant value
There are currently 33 of them in England and their purpose is to conserve the natural beauty of the landscape
Sheep in Aston Rowant
They are created under the same legislation as national parks
Natural England is responsible for designating AONBs and advising the Government and others on how they should be protected and managed
Since the Countryside and Rights of Way Act 2000 became law, AONBs have been further protected from development
The legislation also introduced the option to create conservation boards to manage the areas but so far only two have chosen to do so: the Chilterns and the Cotswolds – which also covers part of Oxfordshire
District councils have to have due regard to an AONB when making planning decisions.
Dramatic Chilterns straddle four counties
THE Chilterns Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty covers 324 square miles of countryside, stretching from the River Thames in South Oxfordshire up through Buckinghamshire and Bedfordshire to Hitchin in Hertfordshire
Cricketers at Greys Green, Henley
The hills are part of a system of chalk downland through eastern and southern England, which was formed up to 95 million years ago
The Ridgeway – an 85-mile track which starts in Wiltshire and goes through Oxfordshire on its way to Buckinghamshire – cuts through the Chilterns
In 1965 the area was designated as an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, with nearly two-thirds of the Chilterns made up of farmland
But it is also one of the most wooded parts of England with more than one fifth covered by woodland.
ACCORDING to the management plan, the following issues will affect the natural beauty of the Chilterns:
Development: the need for new houses and the transport infrastructure for them, as well as HS2
Visitor pressure: the demand for road improvements and greater infrastructure because of a large number of visitors
Use of water: greater development near the Chilterns will lead to more consumption of scarce water resources
Changes in farming: the pressure on profit margins and the loss of traditional management practices
Changes in forestry: the long-term decline in the demand for UK timber means many Chiltern woodlands suffer from a lack of management
Pests and diseases: the number of pests and diseases threatening woodlands in particular has grown significantly

Within the last few months, H&R Block Inc., which is preparing to open H&R Block Bank in April, has been challenged in the courts on several fronts, admitted to mistakes on its own taxes, and acknowledged that it mailed out free software with the recipient's Social Security number on the label.
The latest blow to the company's image has been a massive lawsuit brought by Eliot Spitzer, Attorney General of New York, charging that Block breached its fiduciary duty to clients through its Express IRA program. According to Spitzer, more than 85 percent of Express IRA account holders lost money after opening one of these accounts because the low interest rates could not keep ahead of charges that included unadvertised fees.
Setting the stage for a major confrontation with New York's Attorney General, according to newsinferno,com, Block's Chief Executive Officer, Mark Ernst, in a letter to the Wall Street Journal, called Spitzer's filing âan unfair attack on a good product that plays a key role in our mission to help lower- and middle-income Americans.â The company also denied any wrongdoing in its press release.
Spitzer responded that although the goal of his office is to keep companies âalive and viableâ, newsinferno,com says, H&R Block's press release and denials made it âvery difficult for me to imagine that we will settle.â
H&R Block Bank, the company's latest addition to its financial services, was granted a charter by federal regulators on the same day that Spitzer announced his suit, the New York Post reports. Two New York consumer groups, The Neighborhood Economic Development Advocacy Project and the Inner City Press/Fair Finance Watch, are attempting to block the launch of the bank in New York, citing a condition in the charter that states that âadditional information having a material adverse bearing on any feature of the applicationâ could âscotchâ approval, the Post says.
âI would be surprised if [the federal government] can stand to allow this to move forward, given the Attorney General's actions,â says Peter Skillen, head of Community Reinvestment Association of North Carolina, another consumer group that opposes the bank's charter, the Post says. H& R Block Bank is scheduled to begin operations on April 30.
Within days of the announcement of the suit against H&R Block in New York, a major class-action lawsuit was filed in Kansas City, Missouri, on behalf of H&R Block shareholders, newsinferno,com says. The notice of the class action, published by the law offices of Bruce G. Murphy in Vero Beach, Florida, refers to the New York suit; a suit announced in February by California's attorney general, Bill Lockyer, that targets Refund Anticipation Loans; and the tax errors that will result in a restatement of earnings for two years. The notice charges that the company issued âmaterial misrepresentations to the market during the Class Period,â and calls attention to the losses suffered by H&R Block stockholders since the Spitzer complaint was made public.
The New York suit against Block seeks $250 million in fines, in addition to refunds to 500,000 clients who opened the IRA accounts. Other states have initiated similar cases, newsinferno,com says.

This week in the War, 17–23 February 1941: British monitor HMS Terror is fatally damaged off the coast of Libya
Monitors were the Royal Navy's ugly ducklings. Slow, ungainly, and strange to behold. The calibre of their armament matched that of a battleship—i.e. 15 inch guns—but they possessed only two such guns, mounted in a single turret. A casual observer … Continue reading

Fox Fluevog & Friends
Fox, Fluevog, and the Hotel EuropePosted by: Rosemary Poole on May 19, 2010 / 9:45 PM
Quick post: Love this shot of Peter Fox (left) and John Fluevog taken in 1971 outside the Hotel Europe. (What is it about a flat-iron building that's universally popular? Read the Gastown blog's nice profile of the 101-year-old structure here). Timeless. And when plaid, three-piece suits are worn this confidently, they might be too.

MOVments from the weekPosted by: Rosemary Poole on May 13, 2010 / 10:54 PM
A round up of news stories we're following, plus other events and cultural happenings worth a notice.
Whales, actual and pixelated. Last week, a grey whale swam deep into False Creek, apparently drawn to the rehabilitated shoreline fronting the new Southeast False Creek neighbourhood. Then, a new public artwork depicting an orca whale was installed on the plaza outside the Vancouver Convention Centre. According to artist Douglas Coupland, Digital Orca "breaks down a three-dimensional Orca whale (they are really dolphins not whales, but I digress…) into cubic pixels—making a familiar symbol of the West Coast become something unexpected and new." It's already drawing crowds. (Price Tags)
Remembering Lorne "Ace" Atkinson. The local cycling legend and owner of Ace Cycles on West Broadway passed away on April 23. He was 88. Last summer, his spare, handmade track bike from the 1954 Empire Games appeared in the MOV exhibition Velo-City: Vancouver and the Bicycle Revolution; a symbol of his long dedication to the sport. Yesterday, the Globe and Mail published a feature-length obituary on his life and impact on the city's cycling culture. (Globe and Mail)
Maybe next year? As everyone in this city knows by now, the Vancouver Canucks are finished for another season. What does the team need? I retweeted this post from Vancouver magazine the morning after their elimination by the Blackhawks but it bears repeating: "1. Shrink for Luongo. 2. Byfuglien-sized forward. 3. All-Star-calibre D-man. 4. More Green Men. What else?" (Vancouver magazine)
What Vancouverites are actually reading. The most-read article on the Vancouver Sun's website today was… this. (At least it doesn't involve Kate Gosselin. She usually occupies the top spot.) (Vancouver Sun)
What we're working on: Thanks to everyone who attended the opening party for Fox, Fluevog & Friends tonight. The exhibition opens officially tomorrow and runs through September 26, 2010. Our first related public program happens this Sunday at 7 p.m. with the premiere of The Colour of Beauty. The documentary-short examines racism in the fashion industry and is presented by MOV, Schema Magazine, and the National Film Board. A panel discussion and reception will follow the screening and—bonus!—admission to the film is free. Another bonus: a discounted rate of $10 gets you into the exhibition. Details on the event are linked here. Happy weekend.

From 'Flueseum' to Museum: A preview of Fox, Fluevog & FriendsPosted by: Rosemary Poole on May 12, 2010 / 10:33 PM
Has there ever been such a pun-friendly name as Fluevog? In the 40 years that John Fluevog has been in the shoe business, he's certainly played off of it, using it as a noun, adjective, and verb—see his chatty website for a sample—all the while building a colourful, forward-thinking, and innovative business that's only partly about shoes.
From the outset, both the store and Fox's designs pushed traditional (read: safe) shoes aside in favour of bold, unconventional silhouettes and dramatic detailing. Picture fur-collared ankle boots, multi-hued platform heels, or handmade wooden clogs (the handiwork of their collaborator Ken Rice). In short: Shoes made by risk-takers, for risk-takers. Celebrities like Robert Altman and Julie Christie were fans; others just didn't get it (Fluevog recalls people walking past the store windows exclaiming "Who would wear these?!").
In a feature MOV exhibition that opens Thursday night, curator Joan Seidl has traced the Vancouver company back to 1970, when a men's shoe store named Fox & Fluevog opened at 2 Powell St. in Gastown. With $13,500 borrowed from his dad, then-22-year-old Fluevog and business partner/mentor Peter Fox aimed to build off their retail experience at the venerable Evans Sheppard shoe store on Hastings Street. Peter Fox, a London native, was also working on his own shoe designs which reflected his interest in art history and Carnaby Street's emerging modish aesthetic.
Fox and Fluevog parted amicably in 1981. Fox moved to New York to focus on his own label; Fluevog took over Fox & Fluevog running it as "just another shoe store" until competition from big chains forced him to rethink his business model—and to take the leap into designing himself. Though his work shares Fox's unselfconscious design philosophy, it is his skill at branding that has pushed him into new and interesting territory, and earned him a cult-like following.
Working with local illustrator and creative director Dave Webber of Webbervision in Gastown, the two have established a brand that is urban, worldly, off-beat, acerbic, gently subversive, and an attempt to "above all… avoid anything that smacks of being 'just advertising'." Old Fluevog catalogues featured in the exhibition comment on such topics as religion, consumerism, and human nature. They feature incredible shoes, too.
In an interview on CBC Radio that aired this morning (click here to hear it), Fox and Fluevog said they didn't know they were breaking new ground so much as doing things that interested them and designing shoes they couldn't find elsewhere. Over 3,500 square feet of gallery space has been turned over to a selection of their work. Some 150 pairs of shoes appear alongside photographs, catalogues, press, and ephemera, and yet it's only a glimpse of their work and its impact to date. There's most definitely more to come.

MOVments from the week and what's ahead (Fox, Fluevog & Friends launches one week today!)Posted by: Rosemary Poole on May 06, 2010 / 10:32 AM
This week's round up of news and cultural happenings is rather museum-heavy; always lots going on as institutions prepare to launch their summer blockbusters. We're no exception: Fox, Fluevog & Friends: The Story Behind the Shoeslaunches exactly one week today (one of the 150 pair of shoes featured in the exhibition is pictured left). The building is buzzing.
The quest for the 20-minute neighbourhood. Ever since last year's feature exhibition Velo-City: Vancouver and the Bicycle Revolution, we've kept an eye on two-wheeled matters—news, ideas, design, etc. But what of pedestrian traffic as a city-making/organizing tool? The City of Portland recently unveiled a new 30-year plan for the city that introduced the concept of the 20-minute neighbourhood. "The idea? Simple: everything a person needs for his or her daily life should be within an inviting 20-minute stroll of home." Key components include things like walkability, scale, density, and amenities like transit connections, schools, and parks. Most interesting is this: though Portland is held up as a model of progressive urban planning and livability, only one district comes closest to meeting this ideal. Wonder how many neighbourhoods in Vancouver would pass the test. (Portland Monthly)
Golden king = gold. This week, Toronto's Art Gallery of Ontario wrapped up their exhibition King Tut: The Golden King and the Great Pharaohs reporting incredible and inspiring stats. Over 400,000 people visited during the 24-week run—47% of them first-time visitors. "Gallery memberships also increased strongly, with 12,450 new members." AGO director Matthew Teitelbaum said they hosted the exhibition to attract a new audience, but admits the results were unprecedented. It's also a sure sign that the boundaries between art gallery, history museum, and cultural space are increasingly blurry—all for the better. (Globe and Mail)
BC Place's roof deflates, real story missed. The bubbled white roof came down on BC Place stadium this week, amid much chatter about the stadium's future: "Why not tear the whole thing down?", "Is a new retractable roof really necessary?", "What benefit to stadiums actually bring to downtowns anyhow?" In typical Vancouver fashion it was all a tad… over-thought in the eleventh hour. Here's an angle missed by both the media and PavCo (the crown corporation that oversees the place): As Vancouver bills itself as an efficient, sustainable, and all around smart city, shouldn't we be finding ways to repurpose existing structures? Finding ways to make dated venues fit into contemporary uses? Extend their often all-too-short life cycle? (Read about the environmental toll of concrete production in the excellent 2002 book Cradle-to-Cradle; you won't look at the ubiquitous building material quite the same way again.)
What a £20-million museum rethink and marketing blitz looks like. On May 28, the Museum of London will launch their Galleries of Modern London, the results of a three-year re-think of five exhibition spaces. (In London, the "modern" era starts from 1666 and runs to the present making the project all the more daunting.) I love the simplicity of their "You are here" marketing concept, which features off-beat archival shots of urban life over the centuries. Details on the project, plus a slideshow of the new spaces is found on the museum's website here. Additional coverage in Marketing Magazine.

The OnePlus 5T is a superb, affordable phone for new buyers, despite only minor changes from the OnePlus 5.
The Honor 7X comes with a massive screen and charges little for it.
The LG V30 is a rock-solid alternative to Samsung's Galaxy S8 Plus and the Google Pixel 2 XL. If it fits your hands and your photographic needs, you won't be disappointed.
While it doesn't have all the Galaxy Note 8's features, the Mate 10 Pro earns its place in the high-end big-screen pack.
This midrange phone from China will let you take selfies that can smooth out your pores.
The Mi Mix 2 is the perfect bezel-less phone for Android fans all over the world, but can be hard to get if you don't live in China or India.
iPhone X is an overdue and winning evolution of the iPhone, but you'll need to leave your comfort zone to make a jump into the face-recognizing future.
One of China's biggest phone makers launch a new phone, and it's loaded with an iOS-ish operating system and new camera tricks for better photography.
The HTC U11 Plus is a touch bigger than its predecessor, but it still keeps the quirky squeezy navigation thing.
HTC's U11 Life is a decent midrange phone, but the Moto G5 Plus shoots better photos for a little less.
The Galaxy S8 Active is a great phone, but if battery life isn't your top concern, you'll save money buying a regular Galaxy S8 and a case.
With a glass design, big screen and supercharged processor, the Mate 10 has a lot going for it, but differences between the models are downright weird.
A decent all-rounder, the dual-camera Nokia 8 gets the job done, but it doesn't come close to today's true Android stars.
The sensible, speedy iPhone 8 makes a nice upgrade to the iPhone 6S and earlier siblings, but we won't know until November how it compares to the much pricier iPhone X.
The iPhone 8 Plus is a great phone with a spectacular camera that offers a lot of what iPhone X has under the hood, but in a lot less exciting body.
The Mi Note 3 sacrifices screen size and processor power to shrink its price tag.
The Galaxy Note 8 retakes the throne as the ultimate Android phone for now, but some intense competition is just over the horizon.
Did you forget about the Android One initiative? Xiaomi's inexpensive new phone, with its rear cameras and surprisingly powerful CPU, is here to remind you.

Welcome back, Frank Gore.
Oh, sure, the 49ers defense did the heavy lifting, forcing seven turnovers in Monday night's 24-9 victory over the NFC West-leading Arizona Cardinals.
But Gore sure showed up, too. Remember him, the bell cow? Isn't this how coach Mike Singletary originally designed it: physical defense complemented by a run-oriented offense?
For one game, it worked wonderfully, in a game the 49ers desperately wanted to win in front of a national audience to show they're not the frauds they've been labeled over the past two months.
While the defense offered up many heroes (see: three turnovers forced by safety Dashon Goldson, three sacks by pet-project linebacker Ahmad Brooks, solid effort by linebacker Patrick Willis), it was a welcome sight to see Gore as the offense's savior.
He had 25 carries for 167 yards, making him the NFL's Week 14 rushing leader, whatever that crown is worth when skimpy playoff hopes are still on the mind.
"I was in the zone. They let me get in the zone," Gore said. "Every back should be in the zone when they get the rock and can't be stopped. I told myself to be patient and let it happen."
Singletary told him similar words during a meeting in the coach's office this week.
"We talk a lot. He wanted me to stay focused, keep working," Gore said. "I went up to his office and he told me it would happen."
It's been a while since something like this happened, that the 49ers could turn to Gore to boost a stagnant offense.
In the previous three games — while they transitioned into that trendy land of the spread offense — Gore vanished. He had 32 carries for 117 yards in those three games combined. He hadn't scored a touchdown since the 49ers' last prime-time game, another turnover-aided victory at home, Nov. 12 against the Chicago Bears.
Needing a fourth-quarter touchdown to ice their third straight home win, the 49ers turned to Gore, over and over again. The Cardinals' sixth turnover gave the 49ers the ball at the Arizona 16-yard line, and it took four consecutive carries by Gore to reach the end zone, that coming on a 2-yard run with 9 minutes, 22 seconds remaining.
Singletary understandably glowed about his defense's effort, especially that of Brooks. So what did he think of Gore?
"He didn't get loose like he wanted to, but he was very effective," Singletary responded. "He got yards when he needed to get yards.
"It was good to see him smiling about the way he contributed."
Gore did break loose for two long runs in the first half, charging up the middle for 36 and 31 yards. He had 13 carries and 104 yards at halftime, and the 49ers had a 17-0 lead.
You'd think the 49ers should have had more than just a 17-0 lead at halftime. But they've never scored more than 17 points in a first half this season, and they'd never led by 17 at halftime, either.
Reflect back to that win over the Bears and you'll see the 49ers won 10-6 after intercepting Jay Cutler five times. It should be no surprise then, that the 49ers offense still isn't a high-scoring, fast-paced machine. Nor is the defense always going to produce a zillion turnovers.
In a perfect 49ers world, quarterback Alex Smith would have capitalized more on the Cardinals' generosity and lit up the scoreboard with touchdown passes to Vernon Davis and Michael Crabtree.
Oh, wait, Davis and Crabtree did catch touchdown passes. But Smith certainly wasn't in any so-called zone. He was 19 of 35 (54 percent) for 144 yards with those two touchdown passes offset by two interceptions and too many wild throws.
These remaining three games still are more about Smith's development than Gore's renaissance.
Then again, for those huge optimists, these final games could be about debating whether the 49ers can win out (gulp, next stop: Philadelphia). And whether the Cardinals have the capacity to lose two games, including one to either the Detroit Lions or St. Louis Rams. And whether the Dallas Cowboys or New York Giants or whoever can fade fast from the wild-card hunt.
When playoff elimination does come, the talk will again return to how to end the 49ers' seven-year postseason drought.
As team president/owner Jed York said before the game, "You need a quarterback to win. He's playing well. The quarterback drives it but you need to have the pieces around him. We're starting to get some of those pieces, like 85 (Davis), 15 (Crabtree) and 21 (Gore)."
Ah yes, No. 21. They do still have him.

Old Nueces County Courthouse, Corpus Christi, Texas.
Nueces County Courthouse, Built: 1914, Closed: 1977, Corpus Christi, Texas
In 1853 lawlessness in Nueces County, which covered most of the area from Corpus Christi to the Mexican border, prompted the construction of the first county courthouse on this block. Three lots were purchased for $300 from Corpus Christi founder, Henry Lawrence Kinney (1814-1865). A second courthouse was built in the mid-1870's beside the first. Under the administration of county Judge Walter F. Timon (1872-1952), this neo-classical structure was completed in 1914 at a cost of $250,000. The architect, Harvey L. Page (1859-1934) of Washington, D.C., designed the International and Great Northern Railroad station in San Antonio and Laguna Gloria in Austin, home of former Corpus Christi resident Clara Driscoll. Additions were made to the buildings in the 1930's and 1960's. Courtrooms and offices were on the first four floors. The top two floors, separated from the rest of the building by an air space to eliminate noise, served as the jail. In addition to government offices, apartments were provided until the 1950's for the jailer and other county officials. During storms which almost leveled the city, hundreds of refugees sought shelter here. In 1977 county offices moved to a new courthouse building.

Branstad's nix of solar grant disappointing
"I think the state of Iowa has the potential to be the leader of renewable energy."
That was Gov. Terry Branstad in 2011. Branstad said he believed alternative energy development could be the key to bringing to fruition two of the governor's main goals: Bringing 200,000 jobs to Iowa by 2016 and increasing family income by 25 percent.
Then in 2012, Branstad signed bipartisan legislation supporting key solar energy technologies. The legislation created tax incentives for research and development in the area of solar photovoltaics, or solar PV, and solar thermal technologies like solar hot water — both clean and reliable forms of energy that match well with Iowa's energy needs.
In the fall of 2013, the Iowa Economic Development Authority was excited to announce its energy office had landed a $1 million three-year solar grant from the U.S. Department of Energy. "Iowa should be at the front of the pack" in solar energy, the governor declared.
Then sometime this spring, Branstad's enthusiasm for solar energy wilted. The Branstad administration surrendered the $1 million grant.
What explanation did the governor give at the time for rejecting a million dollars to help achieve the goals he had been talking about for years?
None. In fact, until journalists with the Associated Press requested emails on the subject under the open records law, no one in the Branstad administration even acknowledged the grant had been sent back to Washington.
Development Authority Director Debi Durham, with the support of Branstad, approved the decision to terminate the grant on April 8.
Guess what April 9 was?
That's right, it was Iowa Solar Day, an annual event sponsored by Iowa's Solar Energy Trade Association celebrating the state's progress implementing solar technology. Branstad told the solar advocates gathered at the Statehouse, "I see tremendous potential for growth in solar energy as I do in other renewable energy in our state." He didn't mention the fact that his administration had just sent back a $1 million grant supporting that effort. That might not have gone over too well with the Solar Energy Trade Association.
It doesn't go over well with the people of Iowa, either. Branstad's reputation has been that of a straight-shooter, but he missed the mark here. First of all, the state really should be working on expanding alternative energy sources. When the state turns down money to help that effort, it looks like the governor is just paying lip service to renewable energy advocates while secretly placating the big utilities. The emails obtained by AP reveal just that — a chilly response from the Iowa Utility Association was the precursor to rejecting the grant.
The secrecy is even more troubling. Branstad typically can be counted on to "own" his opinions and explain his actions, whether or not people agree with him. That didn't happen here.
This grant would have been a perfect fit for the city of Dubuque. With all the city has done to position itself as a sustainability leader, Dubuque was a natural to be a pilot site to expand solar installation. City staffers were ready to work with the state.
Rejecting the grant was troubling on a couple of levels. The state missed an opportunity to reduce burdensome costs and regulations that prevent Iowa residents from adopting solar — that's what the grant was to have been dedicated to. And the whole incident reflects poorly on Branstad. Most Iowans have come to trust Branstad, even if they disagree with him. The governor will have to learn to deal with flak from Iowa's largest utilities if he's really going to make good on his bid to increase alternative energy sources.

Sioux City Journal, July 27
U.S. must secure border, whatever it takes
Arguably, no more important, pressing domestic issue exists today than the crisis on America's border with Mexico.
In fact, Gallup said the percentage of Americans citing immigration as the nation's number-one issue surged to 17 percent this month, up from 5 percent in June, to its highest percentage since 2006. Immigration ranked ahead of dissatisfaction with government, the general economy, unemployment/jobs and health care.
The legal, social, economic, security and humanitarian implications of continued illegal immigration and the virtual tidal wave of Central American children pouring across our nation's southern border can't be overstated.
As America continues its struggle to answer the question of what to do about illegal immigrants and migrant children who already have entered the country, a greater sense of urgency must be applied to improved border security.
In other words, before we can treat the wounds effectively, we first must stop the bleeding.
Whatever it takes.
A growing number of Americans agree.
A CNN/ORC International survey released on Thursday showed 51 percent of Americans believe forming a plan to stop the flow of undocumented immigrants should be the main focus of immigration policy. Forty-five percent said the top priority should be developing a plan to allow undocumented immigrants who have jobs to become legal residents. That's a "notable shift" from February when Americans said legal status was more important than border security, 54 to 41 percent, CNN said.
Some important steps have been taken to improve border security in recent years, such as increased manpower within the Border Patrol, but they aren't sufficient. Each day the southern border remains porous, border-related problems grow larger.
What should be done?
We support any and all steps to seal the border tight, including more fence, more surveillance technology, even more Border Patrol agents, and, yes, a temporary mobilization of National Guard troops ordered by President Obama. Congress also should revisit the Trafficking Victims Protection Reauthorization Act of 2008 under which nearly 60,000 Central American children have arrived on our doorstep since last fall. The federal government should seek to partner with state governments on the problem, not simply leave frustrated governors like Rick Perry of Texas to take action on their own. The U.S. should strengthen border dialogue with Mexico and Central American nations (a meeting held Friday at the White House between President Obama and the presidents of Guatemala, Honduras and El Salvador was a positive step).
Simply put, the flow of illegal immigrants and migrant children into the U.S. can't and shouldn't be allowed to continue. The federal government must send the strongest signals possible, including to individual states and foreign governments, of the seriousness with which it views this issue.
Prospects for action anytime soon look dim, we acknowledge.
Members of Congress will take the entire month of August off. President Obama, who spent most of last week on a fund-raising trip to California, is counting down the days to his own vacation on Martha's Vineyard.
"Unfortunately, it looks like we're on track to do absolutely nothing," Sen. John Cornyn, R-Texas, said earlier this week.
Contributing to fading prospects for action on border security is the fact this is an election year. Even though border security shouldn't be a partisan issue and both Democrats and Republicans should be alarmed at where this current path eventually might lead, the realities of politics appear to be getting in the way.
Still, we can hope.
Enough talk, enough pushing this issue off to another day. Border security needs to become priority number one - not simply in Austin, Texas, but from the White House to the Capitol in Washington.
Does tighter border security answer questions related to the estimated 12 million illegal immigrants or the tens of thousands of Central American children already here? No.
Does improved security allow the U.S. to prevent border problems from growing worse, which they absolutely will if the federal government doesn't meet its responsibilities? Without question, yes.
There will be a cost for securing the border to the extent necessary, but the cost of allowing the border to remain unsecured will be far greater.

The Des Moines Register, July 27
Road fund needs a permanent solution
Congress is deservedly condemned for failing to act on serious national needs. But sometimes when it does act it makes things worse. The short-term bailout of the Highway Trust Fund is a prime example.
The highway fund is expected to run out of money in the coming weeks. Unless Congress acts before it adjourns this week for another vacation, construction on road projects will come to a halt across the country. Federal money pays for about $450 million a year of Iowa road projects, so if that money dries up it will affect work on interstate projects in Council Bluffs and Sioux City and a new Mississippi River bridge at Bettendorf.
Rather than doing the right thing by providing stable, long-term funding for highways, lawmakers have come up with a nearly $11 billion "patch" that would push the trust fund's bankruptcy off until next May. This short-term bailout was engineered by House Republicans worried about running up the federal budget deficit, but it won broad bipartisan support and was on track late last week to be approved by the Senate.
This temporary fix is not a serious solution for highway funding. Iowa road projects are mapped out five years in advance and often take years to complete. The patch will likely cost taxpayers more in the long run because it relies in large part on a crazy gimmick that would allow private companies to reduce contributions to their employee pension funds, thus increasing profits and their federal tax bills.
This is worse than doing nothing. Shorting pension obligations now will force companies to increase contributions later, which will reduce federal tax revenues. What's more, this so-called "pension smoothing" could put corporate pensions in jeopardy of future insolvency, according to the Congressional Budget Office. In that case, the taxpayers are on the hook to bail them out.
This is worse than kicking the can down the road. It is the equivalent of a family postponing putting money in the children's college fund. The action has been denounced from both ends of the political spectrum, including the conservative Heritage Foundation and the liberal Center on Budget and Policy Priorities.
This might represent a low point for Congress, which has increasingly neglected the infrastructure needs of this country. It is shameful that highways, bridges and other major national infrastructure projects built and paid for under past administrations and Congresses, with the support of Republicans and Democrats alike, are allowed to deteriorate.
The reluctance to raise revenues is not surprising in the current political climate, but building and maintaining transportation infrastructure is not like discretionary spending that may be open to debate. Congested and crumbling highways and bridges put the safety of American citizens at risk, and reliable highways and bridges — just like airports, seaports and dams — are essential to a thriving economy.
Money for highways comes from those who benefit directly. But the federal government collects less than three-quarters of what is needed to cover the rising cost of construction and maintenance, because the federal tax on gasoline and diesel fuel has not been raised since 1993. Congress has regularly bailed out the trust fund with appropriations from the treasury, and the deficit is expected to grow to $170 billion over the next decade.
The best solution is phasing in an increase in the federal tax on gasoline and diesel fuel to close the gap. It's estimated the tax would eventually have to go up by 15 cents a gallon to do the job. This would be politically unpopular but politicians must grow some backbone.
The failure to provide long-term and sustainable revenue for the Highway Trust Fund is just one example of Congress' failure to do its job. Add to that the looming shortfall in the Social Security Trust Fund, which the Congressional Budget Office projects will run out of money in less than 20 years. Progress has stalled on paying for additional medical staff for veterans hospitals, and in case you hadn't noticed Congress is headed toward another "fiscal cliff" when the current budget well runs dry in October.
It is time for politicians to honestly tell the American people they must be prepared to pay for services they need and to demand or stop demanding them.

Still more to do for America to be ADA-compliant
Twenty-three years ago Saturday, just before signing the Americans with Disabilities Act, then President George H.W. Bush said, "Let the shameful wall of exclusion finally come tumbling down."
Although sections of that wall continue to stand for the estimated 57 million Americans who have a disability, large sections have been brought down over the past two decades.
The passage and signing of the Americans with Disabilities Act has triggered a fundamental cultural shift in the way our society accommodates people with disabilities. In the past quarter century, the phrase "ADA-compliant" has become shorthand for the idea that accommodating people with disabilities isn't just an optional, nice thing to do; it's a question of basic equality and civil rights.
The legislation established a clear and comprehensive national mandate for the elimination of discrimination against individuals with disabilities. It outlined requirements for ensuring equal opportunity for people with disabilities in employment, state and local government services, public accommodations, businesses and transportation.
Defining disability as any condition that impairs one or more major life activities, the law provided recourse for people with physical or mental disabilities when they were discriminated against. And the act was expanded in 2008 to include other chronic health conditions.
This year's local anniversary celebration will be on the pedestrian mall in downtown Iowa City. U.S. Sen. Tom Harkin, D-Iowa, who is the author of the legislation, will offer the keynote address, and there will be an open-mic period in which people can share their own stories of challenges and triumphs. The festival also will feature art, games and a variety of performances.
As much as the anniversary is a time for celebrating what's been accomplished, it's also a time to remind people how more is left to do — especially in terms of mental illness, which can debilitate people as much as heart disease, chronic pain or other diseases/disorders can.
Surveys about the effectiveness of the ADA have returned with mixed results. An online survey created by the University of Texas Health Science Center found that two-thirds of people with disabilities think the law has been the most significant influence on their lives in the past two decades — improving public awareness of disabilities and opening up new possibilities for the disabled in public places and through transportation services.
A survey conducted by the Kessler Foundation/National Organization on Disability, on the other hand, found that many gaps still exist between the 57 million Americans with disabilities and those without in key areas such as employment, access to health care and socializing.
Those survey results aren't necessarily contradictory. The Americans with Disabilities Act has helped change the national default so that curb breaks and ramps as well as wheelchair-accessible entrances and restrooms are the norm rather than the exception.
But America still is a long way from being fully ADA-compliant.

I love attending online college through BYU-Idaho. It's well structured and has reasonable expectations for it's students. It focuses a lot of classmate participation and content application in a real world setting. Also, since it's a Christian based school, it's brings an uplifting spirit that makes you want to use your education for a better cause. It also provides many non-biased materials and concepts and allows students the freedom to choose fro themselves. This is an excellent school!
I love this university. It has become a safe haven for me. The professors are fabulous! They are well educated and extremely accomplished. They take their time to get to know students, and are very kind and helpful. The secular teaching often connects to gospel (Jesus Christ's teachings), making it a more rounded university as religion and secular topics are tied together.
What I would improve is the surrounding area including restaurants, shopping, and recreational activities. This location is ideal for someone who loves outside recreation (camping, fishing, hiking, skiing, etc.), but if outside recreation is not your passion, then there is really not much to do.

I absolutely love it here! BYU Idaho is an amazing school. Classes are smaller here than in most other colleges, so the experience is much more personal. Most of the professors are fantastic! They remember your name and care about getting to know you as a student and as a person. The school has an amazing feeling about it; it's very spiritual. There are a lot of resources for students to use and there are lots of fun activities, so you can really get involved. BYU Idaho has inexpensive tuition, so it's very affordable. I would highly recommend attending here. Everyone is so friendly and the atmosphere is wonderful.

HAUPPAUGE, N.Y., May 27 (UPI) -- Communications services and on-site support for NATO's GPS-based force tracking system will continue to be provided by U.S.-headquartered Globecomm.
The award from the NATO Communications and Information Agency is worth $9.6 million and an extension of its earlier work for NATO, which encompassed the design and deployment of the system.
"Globecomm is pleased to receive this contract extension to continue to deliver this important service," said Paul Knudsen, vice president of Globecomm's Eastern Atlantic Team. "We completed an upgrade of this system last year under a separate contract that was previously announced. Globecomm has been providing this service since 2007."
The force tracking system provides high levels of tracking data and message traffic. With it NATO is able to identify where its personnel are located at all times, identify the locations of other multi-national forces in routine or operational situations.
The system is vital in helping prevent fratricide incidents.
Globecomm said that with the new award, the combined value of all company work on the NATO program is about $84 million.

"The bus rides remind you you're in the minor leagues but there's a lot of good from it, too. There's a lot of friendships, a lot of talking about game situations that go on during bus rides that you never forget."
"We're constantly behind in the count with him. We're allowing a guy with his kind of power and hitting ability to hit in a 2-1 count every time he goes to the plate. Shoot, I wish I could hit in his counts. We have to get him to offer at some quality pitches."
"Probably the biggest hit he's had all year. These guys kept plugging and Gautreau really put life into us."
"He's as good as it gets in this league, ... There's too much to like. And I'm not just talking about what he does on the mound. He's got unbelievable makeup as well. I think he's learned a lot this season, and he has a plan for attacking hitters that I think sets him apart from the rest of the pack."
"The bottom line is that this guy doesn't belong in this league. Anyone you refer to as 'Mister' belongs in the big leagues. I think he's going to be ready for whenever the Twins want him."
"And her comment back was 'That doesn't surprise me. I hadn't planned to be the face of the campaign, but I'm going to talk about it.' And they said, 'That's what we want, governor,'"
"Frankly, I don't think they've worked members very much, and then all of the sudden we get an ultimatum. It just doesn't feel to me like there's been enough groundwork done."

[MLS] The ranks of Generation adidas players eligible for selection in the MLS SuperDraft next Thursday in Baltimore has increased to 10 with the signing of UC
Santa Barbara midfielder/defender Michael Tetteh.
Tetteh, who passed up the chance to sign with MLS last year, will forgo his senior season at UC Santa Barbara and attend the MLS Player Combine in Fort Lauderdale this weekend. He is the third Gaucho to sign a GA contract, joining Ciaran O'Brien and Eric Avila, who turned pro prior to the 2008 SuperDraft.
The 22-year-old native of Accra, Ghana, has lived in the U.S. since 2005 and played only 15 games this past season because of injuries. He scored a spectacular goal in what turned out to be his final college game, a 2-1 playoff loss at California in the NCAA second round. In his college career, he played 59 games, scored six goals and earned eight assists.
He joins the nine GA players announced by MLS last week: forwards Corey Hertzog (Penn State), Will Braun (Indiana) and Omar Salgado (no college, U.S. U-20s); midfielders Darlington Nagbe and Michael Nanchoff (both Akron); defenders Perry Kitchen, Kofi Sarkodie and Zarek Valentin (all Akron); and goalkeeper Zac MacMath (Maryland).
Tetteh will be added to one of the four MLS Combine team rosters, which were announced Tuesday.
They include five foreign players from outside the college system: midfielders Paolo Cardozo (Uruguay), Marlon Ganchozo (Ecuador), Martin Rivas (Argentina) and John Rooney (England); and Ecuadoran forward Victor Estupinan.
