TORONTO - Adriano Belli is going to cruise into retirement on Wednesday.
Rather than hold one of those teary retirement news conferences where everyone looks like they would rather be somewhere else, the 10-year Canadian Football League veteran has chartered a tall ship to tell the world he is leaving pro football behind after a sometimes-controversial and always-colourful career.
Belli, known as The Kissing Bandit, spent the past four seasons with the Argonauts and has raised thousands of dollars for the Hospital for Sick Children through his Big Kiss Fund.
A foot injury kept the Toronto native on the sidelines for much of the 2010 regular season. Belli runs a food business year-round and simply cant devote enough time to football.
Belli is a free agent, but his desire was to retire as an Argo. Had he returned to the gridiron for the 2011 season, it would have been with the Argos, though he was courted by several teams, including the Hamilton Tiger-Cats.
Many of Bellis Argos teammates and friends from around the league are expected to be part of his retirement cruise on Lake Ontario. An official release from the Argos says the boat will return to shore at 5 p.m. Were willing to bet Belli and his buddies try to stay afloat a little longer than that.

Oh yum! This tea smells divine. Totally and utterly like lemon cream heaven. I got ten new teas in this shipment and this was the one that screamed to be tried first.
It brews to a lovely golden colour, and smells as lovely as the leaves. First sip and I enjoyed it muchly. The cream and lemon are there but so is the tea flavour. If anything I'd like the lemon to be a tad stronger, so I may try a longer steep next time to see what happens.
Halfway through the cup I'm still enjoying this, with the lemon cream being the main body of the tea. The tea itself seems to be in the first and afternotes, but still it all blends seemlessly into a lovely cup. I can see myself enjoying this one in the evenings or on those days I just need something to relax with. Definitely a keeper and I wish I'd ordered more than 25g now! Especially since I see myself sharing this one tomorrow at the Tea Guild.

Soldier Sentenced To Death For Fort Hood Shooting
A military jury has sentenced Maj. Nidal Hasan to death for killing 13 people during the 2009 shooting rampage at Fort Hood.
Hasan never denied being the gunman and has said the attack on unarmed soldiers was motivated by a desire to protect Muslim insurgents fighting in Iraq and Afghanistan.
Because he did not dispute the allegations, the trial has been primarily a pursuit of the death penalty.
The same jury that sentenced him to death Wednesday also found him guilty last week in the attack, which also wounded more than 30 people at the Texas military base.
Military prosecutors believed that any sentence short of death would deny.
Before an execution date is set, the sentence will face years, if not decades, of appeals.
The Army psychiatrist has been representing himself during his trial. But his behavior has only stoked suspicion that his ultimate goal was martyrdom, in the form of a death sentence that would allow him to fulfill what prosecutors have described as a "jihad duty'' under his Islamic faith.
Even when his standby lawyers pleaded in vain to argue on his behalf, he described them as "overzealous.''
At the start of his trial he gave a brief opening statement, during which he said evidence would show he was the shooter and described himself as a soldier who had "switched sides.''
But he called no witnesses and didn't testify, and he questioned only three of the nearly 90 witnesses called by prosecutors before he was convicted. He also gave no closing statement.
During the sentencing phase of this trial, Hasan again presented no witnesses or evidence. And he questioned none of prosecutors' witnesses: dozens of widows, parents, children and other relatives of those killed who gave emotional testimony about their lives since the attack.

Accounting Treatment Of Assets Amortization Taken By Means Of Financial Leasing Regime
In conditions of fast technical progress, the financial leasing has become a necessary element so as to finance the investments, and towards a real economic growth. The financial leasing has gener-ated within the lessee accountancy both exploitation expenses as regards the amortization afferent to the assets, as well as the financial expenses. The main objective of this paper consists in emphasizing the issues the amortization of the asset taken by financial leasing, in accordance to the international standards, specific to the leasing, tangible assets and depreciation of assets. An especial attention should be dedicated to the result, where changing the useful lifetime of the assets on financial leasing regime has effects over the truthful reflection of financial position and performances of a lessee. One might also outline that the time of asset utilization represents a factor, which has influenced the deci-sion of refinancing by leasing. "

TALLAHASSEE, Fla. (AP) — Phone counselors are now available to help long-term care Medicaid recipients choose their health plans.
State health officials say the call centers went live Monday. Long-term care Medicaid recipients can call the hotline and ask questions about what doctors and medications are covered in different plans.
The counselor can also enroll them in a plan. Recipients have until July 18 to decide. Residents in Brevard, Orange, Osceola and Seminole Counties will be the first to enroll and will begin receiving services August 1. The state is enrolling groups by regions.
Florida obtained tentative permission from the federal government to move 3 million Medicaid patients into managed care programs where insurers are given a set amount of money to decide what doctors, tests and medications to cover.

LINQing Up at the Victoria Code Camp
I'll be speaking on the topic "LINQ: Simplifying Data Handling in ASP.NET" at the Victoria .NET CodeCamp on January 26th.
It's going to be a great (free!) day with expert presenters that include Beth Massi and Richard Campbell.
Here's the abstract for my beginner-level talk:
Language Integrated Query (LINQ) is a "learn once, use everywhere" language addition to VB and C# that makes it easy to query, sort, and filter .NET collections including SQL Server data. This presentation, based chapters from my book "ASP.NET 3.5 For Dummies", starts with the basic syntax of LINQ including the From, Select, Where, Aggregate keywords, the Skip and Take operators, and extension methods such as Count, Average, Min, and Max.
During the LinqDataSource control demonstration, you'll see how to use the new ListView control and DataContext object to build a very functional database-driven Web application in ASP.NET 3.5 and Visual Web Developer 2008 Express.
After my talk, you'll find some of the materials on my new Web site at http://www.kencox.ca/.

Simon & Schuster has promoted Colin Harrison to VP, editor-in-chief of its Scribner imprint.
Harrison has spent 11 years at the publisher, but he has also written seven novels, including Break and Enter, Manhattan Nocturne and Risk. At Scribner, he worked on many books, including Sam Gwynne's Empire of the Summer Moon, Doug Stanton's Horse Soldiers and Dan Okrent's Last Call. Previously, he had served as deputy editor at Harper's.
Here's more from publisher Nan Graham's memo: "Colin has brought prestige and profitability to the house. He began with a bang, acquiring Anthony Swofford's Jarhead the week before he was officially employed, and went on to publish a range of stellar titles from the mega-New York Times bestseller Inside of a Dog to literary gems by Ron Hansen, and Carol Sklenicka's Raymond Carver … His alliances with colleagues in all departments at Simon & Schuster, his eloquence, conviction and savvy when launching a book, his teacher's instincts, and his solidarity with our staff make him an ideal Editor-in-Chief for Scribner."

Policies could force paper industry abroad - CPI
Writing to the UK Chancellor on behalf of the country's paper-based industries, David Workman said firms need internationally favourable energy prices to remain competitive and to continue to attract inward investment.
He highlighted the Chancellor's forthcoming Autumn Statement as a forum for addressing some of the concerns.
"An example of misguided policy is the forthcoming Carbon Price Floor (CPF), through which the cost of electricity in the UK will be inflated as additional taxation is applied to fossil fuels when used to generate electricity.
"This is presented as a green measure, but fails in two key areas. Technically, the aspiration to reduce carbon emissions will not be met because the overall EU emissions cap is not reduced, meaning industry elsewhere in the EU will benefit from lower costs."
He added that UK industry will be locked into guaranteed higher energy prices than that elsewhere.
Increasing costs
UK paper manufacturers face increases in costs amounting to several £100ms between 2013 and 2020, according to the CPI.
"National carbon accounting focuses on direct emissions in the UK, meaning swapping UK manufactured goods for imported ones simply offshores the emissions, resulting in no reduction in global emissions.
"Of course alongside the emissions being offshored, so also are the jobs and wealth creation that we should be benefitting from as we seek to re-balance the economy," said Workman.
The CPI acknowledged that the coalition government has helped to mitigate the effects of achieving carbon reduction and renewable targets and called the £250m support package for Energy Intensive Industries (EIIs) announced in the 2011 Autumn Statement "a welcome measure" before adding it is a "mere drop in the ocean of what is needed" to offset the cumulative cost impact of current policy.
He advised the Chancellor that the Autumn Statement is critical because next year marks the start of the next phase of the EU ETS, the introduction of the CPF and new Climate Change Agreement targets.
Industry suggestions
Workman proposed a number of measures industry want to see in the statement including abandoning the CPF.
- Rethink the CPF cost escalator – an increase in electricity related carbon costs from effectively zero in 2012 to £33 (per tonne carbon dioxide) in 2020 is simply competitively unsustainable.
- Reward and support investment in on-site electricity generation for self-use by exempting it from taxation – present policies are destroying the economic case to invest.
- Accept that for energy security a mix of generation technologies is required and that gas will have a major role to play through to at least the 2030s.
The CPI represents the supply chain for paper, including recovered paper merchants, paper and board, manufacturers and converters and corrugated packaging producers.

LOWELL - In a bit of autobiography, the 2005 hit "Songs About Me," Trace Adkins describes the songs he sings as "country music mixed with a little rock and a little blues."
That was probably true once upon a time, when Adkins emerged singing songs that leaned to the traditional side of the country spectrum. But as he has steadily moved in the direction of arena country, these days the relative proportions of that equation are probably reversed.
A listen to his current release, "Greatest Hits, Volume II: American Man" (especially compared to the first volume), makes that clear. And because Adkins is promoting that release on tour, it was also evident Thursday night at a half-full, midsize arena in Lowell, where he performed all but one of the songs from that collection.
There was a little bit of twang in his show: "Rough & Ready" and Adkins's latest single, "You're Gonna Miss This," for example, manifested audible, sustained amounts of fiddle, steel, and Telecaster.
For the most part, though, the evening oscillated between big, anthemic rockers and power ballads, from "I Got My Game On," which kicked things off, to the smoldering "Every Light in the House."
Adkins wedded that sonically mixed bag to a bevy of typically country themes, touching on patriotism ("Arlington"), working men ("I'm Tryin,' " one of his finest songs, and "American Man," one of his most clichéd), and good ole country boys ("Ladies Love Country Boys").
But Adkins stands out thematically in his role as a contemporary country version of Conway Twitty, singing unabashed love songs and unadulterated come-ons, abetted in no small measure by his rumbling, river-deep baritone, his 6-foot-8-inch frame, and his flowing, beyond-shoulder-length locks.
"I Left Something Turned On at Home," "(This Ain't) No Thinking Thing," and, most of all, "Hot Mama" were among the heartthrob numbers he offered the crowd - especially one part of it.
And for the boys, there was what might be Adkins's biggest hit to date, "Honky Tonk Badonkadonk,"a song that - in mixing an urban slang term expressing admiration for a particular part of the female anatomy with lyrics like "Lord have mercy, how'd she even get them britches on" - also brought the country in its own way.

Sure, it's weird if you actually know how it's allegedly making its decisions (predicting the future, but not really). But all you can actually observe is that sometimes it gives (1,1), and sometimes it gives (2,1), and maybe it coincidentally always seems to give (1,1) to f, but to g, which is observationally equal to g, excepting bottoms, it always seems to give (2,1). That's a weird situation, but if you make things opaque enough, I think you can fall back on IO's nondeterminism. Another weird situation (it seems to me) goes like: foo = unsafeInterleaveIO $ fail "foo" do x <- foo putStrLn "bar" return $! x where you can't simply fall back to saying, "foo throws an exception," because it doesn't prevent "bar" from printing. So what is actually throwing an exception is some later IO action that doesn't have any relation to foo besides using a 'pure' result from it. However, I suppose you can push off such oddities in a similar way, saying that IO actions can throw delayed, asynchronous exceptions, and what do you know, it always happens to end up in the action that evaluated x. :) Of course, those sorts of explanations might be good enough to conclude that unsafeInterleaveIO doesn't break referential transparency, but they may make for a very poor operational semantics of IO and such. foo throws some delayed asynchronous exception? Well, that doesn't tell when or how. And it doesn't explain how weirdTuple 'nondeterministically' chooses between (1,1) and (2,1). So that would probably lead you to another semantics (a more operational one) that brings up how weirdTuple reads the future, or even that mutation happens as a result of evaluating pure values. But, the point is, I think, that such a semantics doesn't indicate that referential transparency is being violated (which would be a notion from another sort of semantics where there's no way to notice something weird is going on). Anyhow, I'm done rambling. (Hope it didn't go on too long; I know we weren't fundamentally in any kind of disagreement.) :) Cheers, -- Dan

Hammonton native Reno Domenico may be "completely Italian," but he has close ties to Ukraine and was in its capital of Kiev during some of the worst street violence in February.
He began traveling to the Eastern European country more than 20 years ago, he said, when he developed an exchange program through Sterling High School in Somerdale, Camden County.
After retiring as principal in 2006, he opened Sterling Business School in Kiev, in a cooperative venture with Rowan University.
Domenico sees the situation in Ukraine as much more complicated than the media portrays.
"The (European Union's) initial offer was terrible. I wouldn't have signed that agreement, as a businessman," Domenico said of the trade deal the Ukrainian government rejected in favor of a better Russian offer, sparking protests in which about 100 people were killed.
Domenico plans to return to Kiev soon. He also hopes to become an election monitor in May, when the country will elect a new president to replace ousted leader Viktor Yanukovych.
He said he still is not sure what will be best for Ukraine, even though the EU has since made a much better
$15 billion loan and aid offer that matches the Russian offer.
"If the European Union had put $15 billion on the table in the first place, we wouldn't have been in this position," Domenico said.
If Ukraine takes the EU offer, it risks losing a huge amount of income from trade with Russia, which he said feels NATO has been encroaching on its borders.
"I don't think the story is over," he said, adding much will depend on whether Western nations keep their word.
Domenico was in Ukraine during the peaceful 2004 Orange Revolution, he said. That was a successful protest against an allegedly fraudulent presidential runoff election between Viktor Yushchenko and Yanukovych, with allegations that authorities rigged the vote in favor of the latter. Voting was redone, and Yushchenko won.
Yanukovych was elected in 2010, and is in Russia after being driven out of the country by protesters. Russian authorities have said he recently had a heart attack.
Domenico, president of Democrats Abroad Ukraine, brought the international group's annual conference to Kiev in October. He is married to Lynn Domenico, principal at St. Joseph High School in Hammonton, and recently gave a talk on Ukraine to students there.

If when you boot your PC you receive the error message 'Operating system not found', it's probable that Windows has lost partition information. Our Helproom Editor explains how to deal with 'Operating system not found'.
QUESTION My PC's hard disk appears to have died. The machine is a few years old, but has been running fine and I haven't installed any new hardware or software. When I turn on the computer I get the message: 'Operating system not found'.
I know a bit about PCs and Windows, and thought it could be a problem with the Master Boot Record. I booted from my Windows XP CD and used the Recovery Console to attempt to rebuild the OS. The plan was to use the fixmbr command, but I was stopped in my tracks when the Recovery Console reported that it couldn't find a hard disk.
Oddly, the Bios shows that the hard disk is still connected to the PC and it clearly has power. When I removed the case's side panel I can hear the disk whirring away as normal, with none of the ominous clicking sounds you might expect to hear from a failing drive.
I want to get the data back, but I can't afford to send my drive to a data-recovery firm. James Duncan
HELPROOM ANSWER From your description, it sounds as though your hard drive is okay. We suspect that the partition information may have been lost, however, which would explain why the Windows Recovery Console reports that no hard drive can be detected.
Even better news is that you may be able to solve the problem using a free recovery tool called TestDisk. It's a Linux tool but, as you can't boot into Windows, that's not a problem. Use another computer to download a Live distribution, which includes TestDisk. (Live distributions are Linux OSes that run directly off a CD or USB flash drive.)
One distribution you might like to try is KNOPPIX, which comes with TestDisk. Burn the ISO to a CD, or use a tool such as the Universal USB Installer to boot your PC.
Run TestDisk from a terminal window and follow the instructions provided. For a step-by-step walkthrough of how TestDisk works, click here.
Alternatively, connect your hard disk to a working PC and run the Windows version of TestDisk. It's the same command line tool, with little difference between its operation in Windows and Linux.

They Suffer From A Poor Public Image: 15 Celebs Who Need An Image Makeover
Celebrities are always checking into rehab for something: drugs, alcohol and other addictions. We applaud their efforts in proactively getting their lives back on track, but there's one type of rehab that celebs always overlook: reputation rehab. Many celebs could use an overhaul of their public image, yet few take the time to actually do so. As you'll see, style isn't the only thing that needs a makeover.
Check out this list of celebrities who need to rehabilitate their image.
Chris Brown
Photo: WENN
While many feel contempt for Chris Brown, we can't help but feel bad for the guy. Since his return to the public eye after the Rihanna beating scandal of 2009 the singer can do no right. His poor decision making seems deliberate, as though he's intentionally becoming the villain everybody thinks he is. A heavily tattooed Brown appears sullen and angry just about all the time. Instead of engaging every negative comment, fight, and Twitter beef that came his way, we wish Chris had just taken the high-road and ignored it. He'd probably be much better off.
John Mayer

Mayer previously suffered from two image debilitating diseases: douche bag syndrome and diarrhea of the mouth, both of which got him into a lot of hot water with the public. His reputation as an arrogant, womanizing jerk is not one he seemed too happy with when he decided to take a break from the spotlight for a few years. Mayer says the backlash for his lapses in judgement woke him up and rocketed him into adulthood. Let's hope so, John. Let's hope so.
Lindsay Lohan

Lindsay Lohan is like the premise of Final Destination, only backwards. She can forsee what will happen when she makes bad decisions but she won't do a thing to change it! Lindsay's image and career are just a mess. Multiple DUI's, drug use, jail time, missed court dates, bad lip injections, wild partying… LiLo is in desperate need of a hiatus so she can pull herself together and focus on her acting career. Oh, the Disney days!
Kim Kardashian
Photo: WENN
The middle Kardashian girl has developed a reputation for being a ditz, and her valley girl voice isn't helping her case any. The public seems to think Kim's not too bright which is a shame because she's actually a lot smarter than she appears. The reality star defended herself against actor Jon Hamm's remarks—one of many celebs who have insinuated her stupidity—saying: "Calling someone who runs their own businesses, is a part of a successful TV show, produces, writes, designs, and creates, 'stupid,' is in my opinion careless." True, but you know what's also careless? Displaying every detail of your life on a TV show that makes you look like a dope.
Tom Cruise
Photo: WENN
The great Tom Cruise's career and reputation were tragically undone by his creepy dedication to Scientology and a flamboyant display of love for now ex-wife Katie Holmes in 2005. People just didn't know how to take the actor after that. Cruise suffered a loss of respect by the industry along with the viewing public, and became the butt of many jokes. While he hasn't returned to the same massive popularity and acclaim he once had, he is slowly regaining the public's respect while redirecting the focus back to his acting career.
Bobby Brown

Bobby Brown's music career and image has been in shambles for years thanks to a not so low key drug addiction and the public's perception of him being the cause of late ex-wife Whitney Houston's demise. The world believed that Brown pulled her down to the slums of substance abuse, tainting her squeaky clean image. In the wake of Whitney's death he couldn't even grieve without facing ridicule, which is unfortunate because news has been reported that Houston was already experimenting with drugs prior to their union. No doubt Brown could use a little reputation rehab, and possibly the other kind of rehab as well.
Charlie Sheen

If Charlie Sheen's goal was to make everyone think he's a belligerent, drug-fueled lunatic, then he has succeed with flying colors. His public criticism of Two and a Half Men creator Chuck Lorre and his co-stars while he was still on the show, followed by his bizarre behavior, withstatements like: "I got tiger blood," continued drug use, and violent relationships with his ex-wives have made Sheen something of caricature of his former self.
Mel Gibson
Photo: WENN
A long history of alcoholism that had plagued Gibson throughout his life seemed to overtake him in 2006 amid an unwanted divorce initiated by his wife of over 25 years. The actor/director was arrested for driving under the influence with an open bottle of liquor in the car. During this arrest Gibson famously blamed the Jews for all the wars in the world and positioned himself as a belligerent, racist lush in the eyes of many people. That image was further perpetuated by more drunken incidents, arrest and violent outbursts recorded in the public forum. A sad state of affairs for an acclaimed actor and director.
Michelle Williams
The third member of Destiny's Child needs an image makeover in so much as she doesn't really seem to have one. In Hollywood that might be a good thing. We don't count it against her. We just wish she'd show some pizazz, let her personality shine through, and prove to the world that her presence in Destiny's Child wasn't simply to allow the group to do Charlie's Angel poses.
Britney Spears
The Princess of Pop is not so revered these days, with her royal highness replaced by a sluggish and jaded clone à la the effects of Hollywood. Her majestic dance moves are traded in for half-hearted steps on stage. A trashier, colder, more bitter Britney is seen today, and with all she's been through it's understandable. But darn it, we just wish she'd let it go and get back on her royal throne!
Katherine Heigl
Photo: WENN
With her remarks against the acting opportunities—Knocked Up and Grey's Anatomy— that put her on the map and her sassy attitude, Katherine Heigl has regrettably painted a very snooty and ungrateful picture of herself in the media. It's a picture she's none too proud of. The actress expressed her disappointment in herself for allowing this perception of her to persist and told Entertainment Weekly: "There's nothing more gross than [the idea of] somebody in my position being ungrateful… And I hope that in the coming years I can change people's minds about that."
Paris Hilton
Photo: WENN
Being famous for "being famous" quickly turned into being famous for partying, promiscuity, drug use, dumb quotes, and DUI's for Paris Hilton. The socialite heiress to the Hilton fortune claims that there is much more to her than this image but has expended little energy in changing it. She appeared conservatively clothed and carrying a bible for a short time, but it came off more as a put on than genuine effort.
Megan Fox
Photo: WENN
The public doesn't seem to care too much about Megan Fox's hot image. In fact, it's what makes her who she is to most people, but that's just the problem… to Fox, anyway. The brunette vixen has tried to distance herself from the scantily clad image she allowed herself to take on early in her acting career. Now that she is a mommy, Megan wants to set a better example for her child. The problem is that the public is not taking her seriously.
Isaiah Washington
Photo: WENN
A veteran of Spike Lee films, Isaiah Washington enjoyed quite a successful career until he made an ill-thought out remark involving the word "fa–ot" on the set of Grey's Anatomy in 2007. Reports circulated that Washington had used the word in reference to his co-star TR Knight, who was gay, though at the time had not come out publicly until after this incident. Washington received mass criticism for being "homophobic" by both the media and co-stars. The actor apologized for his words but was later released from Grey's Anatomy. He has done little to no acting work since then.
Mariah Carey
Photo: WENN
Mariah Carey has one of the most larger-than-life personas in the entertainment industry, an image cultivated by her extreme diva-like behavior. She may be the most successful female artist of all time, but for all her success she is entirely unrelatable and a tad out of touch. It would be a refreshing change of pace to see her act like a normal human being.


text: Up for sale is my first bass. It was a gift for my 16th birthday in 2002. I learned how to play on it, gave it some serious playing time, and have made a few upgrades since then. The finish on the back of the neck has been smoothed out a bit. Originally, it was kind of sticky. I converted it to string-through a few years ago and installed a Fender Deluxe bridge (part #005-8396-000). At one time, it had a Hipshot 2-string retainer, but I preferred the traditional-style one so I took the Hipshot back off and installed a Fender string retainer (installed, but not pictured). The pickups are Fender Original '62 (my TB review). Strap buttons have been replaced with larger black ones. White knobs and pickguard have been replaced as well. At one time, I had a tone bypass switch, but it wasn't doing much for me, so I filled the hole with an LED that does nothing, but if you ever put in a preamp, it might work as a battery indicator light or something. Pickup and control cavities have been shielded with copper foil tape (the conductive adhesive stuff from Stew-Mac). The truss rod works perfectly. Tuners are solid. All the chrome is in great shape. The neck is straight with no twisting or warping and has a nice flame figure, which surprised me considering it's original price The body has a few dents, dings, and scratches but nothing major -- purely cosmetic. It's a very light poplar body. The only thing is that it won't come with strings. I removed them a couple of weeks ago to put on another bass. [DEL]Asking $200 shipped.[/DEL] MAKE AN OFFER!

Hi Dategirl,
I won't gush about how wonderfully happy my girlfriend and I are, but occasionally we like to spark up our lesbian lives by bringing a boy home. The first time this happened, it was with a sweet li'l innocent straight boy friend of hers. I flirted and flirted and eventually we all ended up naked together. We were having a great time, but he was a bit nervous to say the least and couldn't get it up. Ah well, we can take care of ourselves, so we didn't care, but enough already—stop trying! GO TO SLEEP or GO HOME! He went home and like a hopeful boy called and called and called. Good god. We talked. All right, mister, we're up for a good time every once in a while, but chill out— it was a one-night thing.
A few months later, I picked up my tattooist. He was sweet and respectful and seemed to understand me and my girlfriend's dynamic. We were excited. So we finally ended up naked together. We were all having a good time, but lo and behold, he couldn't get it up either. Again, we took care of ourselves and besides it was 3am. We were sober and tired, but he wanted to keep trying. Forget it! Go to SLEEP!
So what's the deal? Our experiences haven't been bad by any means, but the point of bringing someone else home is so that we don't have to take care of ourselves. Let someone else do the damned work. Besides, isn't this every straight boy's fantasy?
Achin' for Dick
Perhaps your little boy-toys can't get their love boats to more than half-mast because they're feeling objectified and used! After all, you and the little missy are only interested in a few minutes of borrowed bliss with their smokin' hot guns of love. You don't care about the men behind the peni at all, now do you? Men are sensitive souls who need love too— not just automatons designed for your prurient pleasures! They need to be nurtured, respected and treated like the multidimensional creatures they are!
Sometimes I just crack myself up.
Now, really. Of course these boys are having a tough time of it! You two ladies don't need them. They're intimidated. And being frightened does terrible things to a penis. What once stood tall and hard can morph into something akin to what you might find inside an oyster shell—and not the pearl— for myriad reasons, not the least of which is the sheer terror of humiliation. And what could be more humiliating for a red-blooded heterosexual man than to be shown up by a girl!
While you're right that being with two women does rate at the top of most men's rather pedestrian fantasies, I'm hypothesizing that these fantasy femmes are heterosexual, built like Playboy bunnies, and hopelessly inept when it comes to pleasuring each other. These mystery bims will engage in a little half-hearted muff-diving and spit-swapping for titillation purposes only and then turn to their man to show the proper reverence that his temple of tumescence should provoke.
As usual when a question stymies me, I consulted not a panel of experts for wise counsel, but instead called a bunch of my goofball friends to get their take on the matter. My future ex-boyfriend John used to go out with a lesbian who regularly made other women a part of their sexual repertoire. He says it was great and he never had a problem performance-wise, but do note that he's not with her anymore. Steve, one of the toughest men I know, admitted that trying to pleasure two women who were perfectly capable of getting each other off would intimidate the hell out of him. "They like each other better than me," he practically whimpered.
Finally I turned to my source for all things Sapphic. After a moment of stunned and horrified silence, Babette scoffed, "Why don't they just buy a dildo—who needs the extra flesh around it." Ouch.
My advice is to seek and ye shall find. As my sister and I hooted and hollered through the America's Sexiest Bachelor contest on Fox TV last week, it became abundantly clear that there are many men out there ready and willing to be objectified. Might I suggest skipping right over the hirsute winner (Mr. Virginia—eww!) and looking up Mr. New Jersey? He was pleasantly witless and the only one of 51 allegedly sexy bachelors to wear a bathing suit that showed package! And what a package it was. Plus he didn't even make it to the final five, so he could probably use a little lady lovin' right about now. Good luck!

TORI Spelling has revealed she nearly died from internal bleeding during her fourth pregnancy.
The former 90210 star told Us weekly that she was rushed to hospital at the 20-week mark after she woke up with blood streaming down her legs.
Spelling's placenta was covering her cervix - known as placenta previa - putting her at risk of massive internal bleeding. She was confined to bed for ten terrifying weeks, during which feared for her life and the lives of her children.
The blood loss she suffered was serious that at one point doctors considered terminating her pregnancy to save her life.
"I just remember thinking, I can't leave three children behind," she told Us weekly.
Spelling's husband, Dean McDermott, hid the severity of her condition from her fans, tweeting that her stay in hospital was simply due to tests.
Spelling, 39, gave birth via C-section to a healthy boy, Finn, on August 30 but three weeks later she had to undergo emergency surgery after her scars burst open.
She has now recovered and is back at home with Finn and her three other children, Liam, 5, Stella, 4, and Hattie, 12 months.
She told Us: "When they put (Finn) in my arms I was like, 'We made it.' We have an insane bond. We've been through hell and back."

Christine Lagarde Launches Bid to Become First Woman IMF Head
Christine Lagarde, France's Finance Minister, has formally launched her campaign to become the Managing Director of the International Monetary Fund Wednesday. If successful Lagarde, 55, would be the first woman to run the fund since the global financial institution was founded in 1946.
Lagarde's campaign has been gathering pace over the past week as numerous high profile names have come forward to support her candidacy to succeed Dominique Strauss-Kahn, who resigned last week after being charged with sexual assault.
The IMF has been shrouded in controversy over Strauss-Kahn's resignation, and the issue of his successor is turning out to be a vitally important one for global aid and poverty.
The IMF's engagement historically has been overshadowed by its Washington neighbor and intergovernmental counterpart, the World Bank, which focuses on development and assistance for less developed nations, while the Fund has traditionally specialized in financing. However, since the global recession, the Fund has expanded its poverty and aid profile and has shown a more willing approach, particularly in the African continent.
Lagarde may be seen by many as an ideal successor to take the IMF forward, however, despite widespread support for Lagarde's candidacy, there is also a growing voice of dissenters, particularly among emerging market countries, saying that the position should not simply be reserved for a European.
Among those voicing their concerns are IMF leaders from Brazil, China, India, Russia and South Africa, who have highlighted that the convention of a European being given the position as the IMF MD undermines the organization's legitimacy. They have called for a more "transparent, merit-based and competitive process".
As she launched her campaign, Lagarde has tried to allay these fears, and has insisted she would not be serving as a European, nor as a French person, "but as someone at the service of the fund (the IMF) and its members".
Lagarde has already won the support of the UK, Germany and the European Commission. The US is rumored to look favorably on Lagarde. It has been reported that Nicolas Sarkozy, the French president, will be hoping to win formal backing from President Barack Obama when he arrives in France for the G8 summit on Thursday.
The only non-European candidates in the race so far are Agustín Carstens, Governor of the central bank of Mexico, and Grigory Marchenko, who leads the central bank of Kazakhstan.
Lagarde now intends to hold "deeper discussions with certain IMF members" about her proposals for the fund, and poverty and aid organizations across developing countries will be listening intently to Lagarde's stance and proposals for the IMF's continued work in these sectors.

Kalmadi main accused in CWG scam: CBI chargesheet
The Central Bureau of Investigation on Friday filed its first chargesheet in a Delhi court against sacked Commonwealth Games Organising Committee chairman Suresh Kalmadi, describing him as a "main accused" in a corruption case relating to irregularities in awarding a games-related contract to a Swiss firm.
The probe agency, in its over 50-page charge sheet, has accused Kalmadi as the key person with all the powers to take decisions regarding award of contracts.

Besides Kalmadi, the agency has named two companies and eight persons including OC former secretary general Lalit Bhanot and former director general V K Verma as accused and sought their prosecution under various provisions of the IPC, dealing with criminal conspiracy, forging documents and using fake documents as genuine.
According to the charge sheet, the accused allegedly awarded the lucrative contract to the Swiss firm to install a Timing-Scoring-Result system for the Commonwealth Games at an exorbitant cost, causing a loss of over Rs 90 crore to the exchequer.

The Chinese missile launched Jan. 11 from Xichang Space Center was aimed at the Feng Yun 1C, a Chinese meteorological satellite drifting 535 miles above the Earth. But the strike which smashed the seven-year-old orbiter into a cloud of space flotsam may also have been directed at a target closer at hand. Taiwan, which Beijing considers a renegade province, has long been the object of the mainland's saber-rattling missile tests and amphibious-assault war games. The demonstration of an ability to destroy satellites in orbit belatedly confirmed by Beijing this week could mean China is ready to up the stakes. "Symbolically, it's quite an important message to send to Taiwan," says Andrew Yang, secretary general of Taiwan's Chinese Council of Advanced Policy Studies and an expert on cross-Straits relations.
To Taiwanese military experts, the message seems clear: that the island can no longer rely on the U.S. and its military and technological might to protect it from Chinese forces. Lin Chong-pin, president of the Foundation on International and Cross-Strait Studies and a former deputy defense minister, points to the Taiwan Straits crisis of 1996, when escalating tensions prompted the U.S. to send two aircraft carrier battle groups to the region in an attempt to defuse the situation. In a similar scenario today, Lin says, China's ability to destroy satellites would reduce the effectiveness of U.S. forces, which rely heavily on them for real-time battlefield data. "Now China has the capability to knock out the eyes in the heaven for the U.S.," Lin says.
That could be a huge problem for the U.S. if the simmering conflict over Taiwan ever boils over. "The Chinese understand how dependent the Americans are on these spy satellites," says John Pike, a satellite expert with GlobalSecurity.org. "And they understand how easy it is to shoot them down." A strike against intelligence-gathering satellites, he theorizes, would likely be China's first move in any military action against Taiwan. "If the Chinese are to have any hope of grabbing Taiwan while nobody is looking, they have to win quickly," Pike says. "They have to present the Americans with an accomplished fact. Surely their strategy is, one day they'll come out of one of these amphibious exercises, and it will be for real. The destruction of satellites would be the first unambiguous sign it's happening."
Still, the missile test may yet prove a strategic blunder for the mainland, argues Kurt Campbell, a China expert at the Center for Strategic and International Studies and former top-level U.S. defense department official. "The fundamental principle of China's foreign policy for the last three or four years has been to do nothing that will alert the world to China's arrival as a world power," Campbell says. The test, while sending a clear signal to Taiwan about China's capabilities, may also embolden American neoconservatives who want the U.S. to aggressively challenge China's military and economic ascendancy. China itself has remained notably circumspect: after keeping mum for nearly two weeks, a foreign ministry spokesman finally confirmed the test on Jan. 23 although he insisted that the government remains opposed to an arms race in space. Those disinclined to trust China's protestations might cite "Space War," a 2001 book by Chinese colonel and miltiary academic Lee Ta-kawang, which argues that "The essential principle of war in the 21st century is to achieve victory through space."

POLITICAL MEMO; Under Fire for Supporting Bush, Lieberman Talks Up Bipartisanship
By JENNIFER MEDINA; Nicholas Confessore contributed reporting.
Published: November 1, 2006
Since losing the Democratic primary in August, Senator Joseph I. Lieberman has taken what was a liability among Democratic voters -- his history of working with Republicans -- and attempted to turn it into his advantage, extolling the virtues of bipartisanship whenever he can.
At virtually every campaign stop, Mr. Lieberman condemns what he describes as partisan bickering and legislative gridlock in Washington. While national polls have shown that many voters view this year's election as a referendum on the Bush administration and the war in Iraq, Mr. Lieberman insists he sees it as referendum on partisanship.
''This race as an independent has been liberating,'' Mr. Lieberman said on Tuesday, repeating a refrain he has echoed frequently on the campaign trail.
Polls suggest his strategy is working so far, showing him consistently ahead of Ned Lamont, the Democratic candidate who has largely focused his campaign on criticizing Mr. Lieberman's support for the Bush administration and the war in Iraq.
Earlier this month, a poll by the University of Connecticut and The Hartford Courant also seemed to validate Mr. Lieberman's message, showing that 70 percent of those interviewed wanted their party to compromise with the opposing party.
But attempting to run as neither a Republican nor a Democrat has created awkward moments. Mr. Lieberman has tripped on his own stance about which candidates he was supporting for Congress and whether the country would be better off with Democrats in power.
When, for example, he was asked recently whether the country would be better off with Democrats in control of the House, he said he was not sure. The next day his aides tried to clarify his statement, saying he would like to see the Democrats regain control of Congress, provided they promoted a more bipartisan atmosphere.
The already cautious Mr. Lieberman has also had to tailor his message even more carefully to his audiences. At a candidates' forum for the N.A.A.C.P. Saturday night, Mr. Lieberman emphasized his Democratic bona fides. Standing before the Greater Southington Chamber of Commerce Tuesday morning, he played up the word ''independent.''
Typically, he avoids saying anything too controversial or criticizing a member of either party directly, instead concentrating his attacks on Mr. Lamont, whom he calls a ''partisan polarizer.''
But Mr. Lieberman is still dogged by the image that he is too close to the Bush administration. Democrats do their best to advance the idea: A papier-m??loat depicting the senator kissing Mr. Bush is again making regular appearances on the trail.
And Republicans have promoted the notion as well. On Monday, Mr. Bush offered kind words for Mr. Lieberman on national television, and Vice President Dick Cheney has often accused the Democrats of having ''purged'' Mr. Lieberman from their party.
''Clearly, President Bush and Dick Cheney are out there campaigning for Joe Lieberman,'' Mr. Lamont said at a campaign stop in Hartford on Tuesday. ''They think that's a vote that they can count upon in a pinch.''
Mr. Lieberman, as he has done several times this fall, played down the comments. ''I was not going to allow this campaign to become a national political plaything for either side or anybody,'' he said. ''It's not the first time this has happened, and it probably won't be the last.''
Still, there are signs that Mr. Lieberman is walking a political tight rope, trying to meet the expectations of voters on both sides. At the Chamber of Commerce breakfast in Southington, a man who identified himself as a strong Republican stood up to ask Mr. Lieberman whether he would change his stance and support a constitutional amendment to prohibit flag burning.
The senator laughed gently before responding.
''This is a tough one -- I am an ornery, independent-minded guy,'' he said, before launching into an explanation about why the Supreme Court had knocked down bans on flag burning. Then he added, ''We will continue this dialogue, because it is not a comfortable one for me.''
There have been other signs that Mr. Lieberman is seeking to shore up his support from conservatives. He recently said he would vote to confirm John R. Bolton as the ambassador to the United Nations, placing him on the side of the Bush administration against his Democratic colleague from Connecticut, Senator Christopher J. Dodd, who has been a leading voice against Mr. Bolton.
It has been a considerable shift from the primary, when Mr. Lieberman spent most of his time talking about his record of voting with Democrats 90 percent of the time and criticizing Mr. Lamont for siding with Republicans as a member of the Greenwich Board of Selectmen.
Mr. Lieberman has now taken to speaking of the potential of a Democratic wave on Nov. 7, noting that he could become chairman of the Homeland Security Committee if the Democrats took control of the Senate.

Why is it that sometimes Strava doesn't record specific segments on a ride? Its happened a couple of times.
Specific example, both myself and a mate rode a stretch of road yesterday, he got KOM, I didn't even record a time.
It will let me create a new segment which it recognises as the same as the existing segment, so I've obviously been through the start and end points. Don't want to clutter up the ride with duplicate segments however.

CodePlexProject Hosting for Open Source Software
Hello there
I am building a new website with Composite C1.
we currently have about 110 PDF documents (technical papers, white papers) on our website.
with Composite C1 and without Issuu player, I would like serve these PDFs under links such as
instead of www.domainname.com/Renderers/ShowMedia.ashx?id=548ur48rfj101928283
(like creating a folder or a container for the PDFs)
How can I accomplish this? is this possible?
I hope my question is clear enough.
Thanks in advance for the help
Idea is write http module to manage pdf urls.
I suggest quick & dirty solution based on existing package Composite.Tools.LegacyUrlHandler package.
1. Install package
2. Kill Composite.Tools.LegacyUrlHandler.dll from the bin, remove StoreCurrentPaths.aspx and RemoveRedunantPaths.aspx from the root
3. Copy LegacyUrlHttpModule.cs, LegacyUrlHandlerFacade.cs and Cache.cs to the App_Code (please find them here -
http://c1packages.codeplex.com/SourceControl/changeset/view/7280# - click 2 times Composite.Tools.LegacyUrlHandler - you will find files inside)
4. Edit LegacyUrlHttpModule.cs and change private const string PathInfoToken = ".pdf";
5. Create /App_Data/LegacyUrlMappings.xml
6. Put inside:
<Mappings> <Mapping OldPath="/papers/tech-papers/document-1.pdf" NewPath="~/Renderers/ShowMedia.ashx?id=32a3f59c-1d86-4a6f-8acb-d7dcb049fb21" /> </Mappings>
where OldPath is desired url and NewPath - your actual media url.
@aeont does it mean that in your solution all the document names have to be present in web.config?
I suggest using
ShowMedia.ashx can accept path to C1's media archive file as a parameter, urls looks like
So what you need is to add a replacement:
<rewrite url="~/papers/tech-papers/" to="~/Renderers/ShowMedia.ashx?id=MediaArchive:/papers/tech-papers/" />
P.S. I renamed the discussion to "Friendly urls to media archive files"
yes, in this sample all documents have to be listed in the /App_Data/LegacyUrlMappings.xml
your idea, of course, is more elegant and could be implemented based on Composite.Tools.LegacyUrlHandler package code as well.
Hello aeont and napernik
Thank you both. I appreciate
@napernik the url is looks like
NOT ~/Renderers/ShowMedia.ashx?id=MediaArchive:/Pdfs/document-1.pdf
Am I wrong?
My question is how do i get such a url so i can add a replacement to it
>> Am I wrong?
Both media urls formats are supported. The variant with a GUID is usually more prefereble, since in the case file or it's folder is renamed the url will still be the same.
>> My question is how do i get such a url so i can add a replacement to it
All the media files are represented as Composite.Data.Types.IMediaFile interface, it has a property called "CompositePath" which is basically "MediaArchive:" + {path to a media file}.
So in C# your code will look like
static string GetUrl(IMediaFile file) {
return "/Renderers/ShowMedia.ashx?id=" + file.CompositePath;
If you have your pdf link in only one place, you can just create an xslt function that will build those urls.
Or, maybe you would like to have a general solution, that will be fixing all the links by itself. In this case you may use method Composite.Core.WebClient.PageUrlHelper.ChangeRenderingPageUrlsToPublic(...) as an inspiration,
write a method that searches for all the references like
/Renderers/ShowMedia.ashx?id={media file id},
and replaces it with
Then call this method in /Renderers/Page.aspx.cs file after line
xhtml = PageUrlHelper.ChangeRenderingPageUrlsToPublic(markupBuilder.ToString());
Once you are sure it's working, you can replace some of those urls with your own format and use UrlFormatting to redirect it to ShowMedia.ashx
P.S. In upcoming version's we're planning to have seo-friendly media urls. It would be something like www.domainname.com/{Guid}/{Folder}/document-1.pdf
xhtml = PageUrlHelper.ChangeRenderingPageUrlsToPublic(markupBuilder.ToString());

Hi napernik
unfortunately i am just a newbee -I guess you already got that :)) I wish i could implement your suggestions
i placed the code
static string GetUrl(IMediaFile file) {
return "/Renderers/ShowMedia.ashx?id=" + file.CompositePath;
onto ShowMedia.ashx page, but i cannot see the "CompositePath".
i know you did explain it, but i am clueless about which code to put where
sorry about the trouble
Did we give up? :) i need to make this friendly Urls. I need your help
Please tell me where to place the code.
thank you
Hi @Maydin
I'll post the code that replaces media urls in a couple of hours.
Here're the steps.
1. In /App_Code, create MediaUrlReplacer.cs with the following content:
using System;
using System.Collections.Generic;
using System.Linq;
using System.Text;
using Composite.Data;
using Composite.Data.Types;
namespace Composite.App_Code
public static class MediaUrlReplacer
private static readonly string MediaUrlPrefix = "/Renderers/ShowMedia.ashx?id=";
private class Match
public int Index;
public string Value;
public static string MakeMediaUrlsFriendly(string html)
StringBuilder result = null;
var internalUrls = new List<Match>();
int startIndex = 0;
// We assume that media url has format "/Renderers/ShowMedia.ashx?id={Guid}"
while (true)
int urlOffset = html.IndexOf(MediaUrlPrefix, startIndex, StringComparison.OrdinalIgnoreCase);
if (urlOffset < 0) break;
int prefixEndOffset = urlOffset + MediaUrlPrefix.Length;
int endOffset = prefixEndOffset + 36; /* Guid is 36 characters long*/
if (endOffset >= html.Length) break;
internalUrls.Add(new Match
Index = urlOffset,
Value = html.Substring(urlOffset, endOffset - urlOffset)
startIndex = endOffset;
var resolvedUrls = new Dictionary<string, string>();
using(var conn = new DataConnection())
foreach (Match mediaUrlMatch in internalUrls)
string internalMediaUrl = mediaUrlMatch.Value;
string publicMediaUrl;
if (!resolvedUrls.TryGetValue(internalMediaUrl, out publicMediaUrl))
string guidStr = internalMediaUrl.Substring(MediaUrlPrefix.Length, 36);
publicMediaUrl = null;
Guid mediaFileId;
if(Guid.TryParse(guidStr, out mediaFileId))
IMediaFile mediaFile = conn.Get<IMediaFile>().FirstOrDefault(file => file.Id == mediaFileId);
if(mediaFile != null)
publicMediaUrl = GetFriendlyMediaUrl(mediaFile);
resolvedUrls.Add(internalMediaUrl, publicMediaUrl);
if (publicMediaUrl == null) continue;
if (result == null)
result = new StringBuilder(html);
result.Remove(mediaUrlMatch.Index, mediaUrlMatch.Value.Length);
result.Insert(mediaUrlMatch.Index, publicMediaUrl);
return result != null ? result.ToString() : html;
private static string GetFriendlyMediaUrl(IMediaFile mediaFile)
return "/Renderers/ShowMedia.ashx?id=" + mediaFile.CompositePath;
// return "/media" + mediaFile.FolderPath + "/" + mediaFile.FileName;
2. Edit /Renderers/Page.aspx.cs
Find lines:
using (Profiler.Measure("Changing 'internal' page urls to 'public'"))
xhtml = PageUrlHelper.ChangeRenderingPageUrlsToPublic(markupBuilder.ToString());
And change them to:
using (Profiler.Measure("Changing 'internal' page urls to 'public'"))
xhtml = PageUrlHelper.ChangeRenderingPageUrlsToPublic(markupBuilder.ToString());
xhtml = Composite.App_Code.MediaUrlReplacer.MakeMediaUrlsFriendly(xhtml);
After those 2 steps, all media urls on site should look like
3. Once you have it done, edit GetFriendlyUrl() method in MediaUrlReplacer.cs, so it returns
return "/media" + mediaFile.FolderPath + "/" + mediaFile.FileName;
Not all the media urls should look like
return "/media" + mediaFile.FolderPath + "/" + mediaFile.FileName;
Not all the media urls should look like
return "/media" + mediaFile.FolderPath + "/" + mediaFile.FileName;
4. Use UrlRouting make urls in the previous point work: add redirect from "/media/" to "/Renderers/ShowMedia.ashx?id=MediaArchive://"
I hope you'll succeed, note that after installing an upgrade package you may have to do the step 2 once again
maybe the preferred way to replace html in a rendered document would be to attach a Filter to HttpContext.Response.Filter. Since you can easily replace the default rendering-engine with either one that supports Masterpages or one that is 100% MVC a change
to /Renderers/Page.aspx.cs could be lost.
Hi @napernik
I followed the steps, until step 4 every thing is woking perfectly. it has been a big help for me, THANK YOU VERY MUCH
now, I am trying UrlRouting to work on IIS 7.5 so far no luck with UrlRewriter.Net,
I'll google it more
Hi @maydin later is better than never
I rewritten the example so now you can just add 2 lines to web.config, and copy file http://notepad.cc/share/TDkNGfhRfR to App_Code to get it working.
In web.config, edit
1) Add attribute runAllManagedModulesForAllRequests="true" - so handlers will always be executed
2) Add an http module <add name="ShorterMediaUrls" type="Composite.Examples.ShortMediaUrls.MediaRequestsHttpModule, App_Code" />
<modules runAllManagedModulesForAllRequests="true">
<add name="ShorterMediaUrls" type="Composite.Examples.ShortMediaUrls.MediaRequestsHttpModule, App_Code" />
you should also have IIS 7.x integrated pipeline mode enabled
i guess i should just put something like this in the Contrib-project so everyone can take advantage of friendly mediaurls as well
Just updated the CompositeContrib project where i added such a MediaUrlFilter. To enable it just add the following line to your modules-section in web.config. It has been tested on IIS7 integrated pipeline, and you do NOT need to
set runAllManagedModulesForAllRequest to true for this module to work.
<add name="MediaUrlFilter" type="CompositeC1Contrib.Web.MediaUrlFilterModule, CompositeC1Contrib" />
Get the newest version here http://compositec1contrib.codeplex.com/SourceControl/list/changesets
Sorry for spamming, i should just have added this right away in the first commit, but here it is. For those who prefer a GUID based friendly url instead of exposing the whole path can set an option for that.
Thank you guys
I checked in some changes. In the next version media urls will be stored as:
instead of
and will be renderered as:
which is similar to CompositeC1Contrib's behaviour with useFolderPathsForMediaUrls="true"
Hi @napernik,
This is great, thanks alot.
By the way, I have another problem that i am using CompositeC1Contrib NicerUrls feature, I also installed
Composite.News package. Inna told me these 2 packages are not working together.
She suggested me to d/l the news package and modify it. I dont have any clue about how to modify the News package, I cannot make
Composite.News package and CompositeC1Contrib NicerUrls
work together.
I already posted my problem but no help so far. I though you may help me. can you take a look at it.
Thanks in advance napernik
Have a nice weekend

Idaho lawmakers reject proposed tax break for military retirees
By WILLIAM L. SPENCE | The Lewiston (Idaho) Tribune | Published: February 25, 2014
BOISE, Idaho — The first major tax relief measure of the 2014 session went down to defeat on a 35-31 vote Monday.
The proposal, sponsored by Rep. Kathleen Sims, R-Coeur d'Alene, would have created a new income tax deduction for military retirees, allowing them to deduct 100 percent of their military retirement income, regardless of their age.
Of nearly a dozen tax relief bills introduced so far this year, this was the first to make it to the House floor for a vote.
Several speakers said they supported the concept, but couldn't accept the potential $7.8 million cost of the legislation in light of future spending commitments.
"I feel like I'm throwing cold water, but I want to remind you about the Task Force for Education Reform," said joint budget committee Co-Chairwoman Rep. Maxine Bell, R-Jerome.
The task force recommended a number of education reforms, including substantially improving teacher pay. Bell said those recommendations have a $300 million to $400 million price tag. A proposed redesign of the public defender system is also in the works, together with efforts to reduce recidivism in the criminal justice system.
"Maybe there will come a time when we can give all citizens a tax break, but at this point we've come to the end of the (revenue) stream," Bell said. "Given the things we've already committed, possibly we should take care of them first."
Sims presented her bill as an economic development effort, saying this tax break would encourage more military retirees to move here and take part in Idaho's economy.
"We have to have a reason to bring them to Idaho," she said. "It's a workforce development issue."
The failure of this bill may indicate a tough road for the session's other tax relief proposals, most of which have yet to go through their initial public hearing.
During a lunch meeting with reporters, House Speaker Scott Bedke, R-Oakley, said he'd heard some of these measures may not get a hearing in the Senate, even if they make it through the House.

About Sleep Timer - bedtime calculator for better sleep
Sleep is a sequence of several cycles, each lasting 1.5 hours. A good night sleep consists of 5-6 complete cycles. If you wake up in the middle of the cycle, you feel groggy and exhausted. Therefore, to feel refreshed and alert, it is important to wake up between cycles.
Sleep Timer counts sleep cycles, taking into account the average time needed for a person to fall asleep (it is 14 minutes). With this app you can find out when to go to bed, if you need to wake up at a certain time or when to wake up, if you go to sleep right now. Then, in just one click, you can set up an alarm to wake up at the right time.

Evgeni Malkin returns to lift Pittsburgh Penguins to 14th straight victory
Pascal Dupuis scored twice and Evgeni Malkin had a goal in his return to the lineup, leading the Penguins to a 4-0 victory over the Winnipeg Jets on Thursday night in Pittsburgh for their 14th straight win.
Chris Kunitz had a goal and an assist and Sidney Crosby had two assists to push his league-best points total to 56 as the Penguins capped a giddy 24 hours to get within three victories of its own NHL record for consecutive wins. Malkin, back from an upper-body injury, got his first goal in three weeks.
Tomas Vokoun stopped 20 shots and even recorded his first assist while getting his 50th career shutout.
Al Montoya, making just his fourth start of the season, made 39 saves for Winnipeg but the Jets were no match for the NHL's hottest team.
The league record for consecutive wins was set by the Mario Lemieux-led Penguins in 1992-93, and appears to be in serious jeopardy, though Lemieux — who now co-owns the franchise — hardly appears to mind.
Kings 4, Blues 2 — Mike Richards scored the go-ahead goal with 2:43 to play, Jonathan Quick made 20 saves, and Los Angeles continued its dominance of St. Louis with a win over the host.
The win gives the Kings only their second sweep of a season series against St. Louis after first doing it in 2005-06. Los Angeles has beaten the Blues eight straight times, including a sweep in last season's Western Conference semifinals.
Vladimir Tarasenko scored both goals and Jaroslav Halak made 36 saves for the Blues, who have lost four of their last five.
Maple Leafs 6, Hurricanes 3 — Joffrey Lupul scored the go-ahead goal with 3:10 remaining, helping host Toronto defeat Carolina.
Lupul raced past Joe Corvo and beat Justin Peters for his seventh goal this season, shifting the puck from his backhand before scoring.
Jay McClement sealed it with his sixth of the season on an empty-netter with 45 seconds to go before Nikolai Kulemin added his sixth with three seconds left — also into an empty net.
Islanders 4, Flyers 3 — Colin McDonald had two goals, Josh Bailey tallied the clinching score in the shootout, and New York won again on the road, coming up with a victory over Philadelphia.
John Tavares also scored for New York, which won its fourth straight on the road while improving to 10-4-1 away from home this season to pull into a tie with the Rangers for the eighth and final playoff spot in the Eastern Conference.
Scott Hartnell scored twice and Mike Knuble also tallied for the Flyers, who blew a two-goal lead while falling further out of the playoff picture.
Panthers 5, Sabres 4 — Mike Santorelli scored the winning goal in the shootout to lift Florida to a home win over Buffalo.
Jonathan Huberdeau also scored in the shootout for the Panthers and Jason Pominville scored for Buffalo.
Jacob Markstrom made 36 saves; Ryan Miller stopped 36 shots for Buffalo.
Huberdeau tied the score at 4 when he pushed the puck past Miller for a power-play goal with 6:09 left in the third.
Senators 3, Rangers 0 — Ben Bishop turned aside 24 shots to earn his second career shutout and host Ottawa beat New York.
Andre Benoit, Guillaume Latendresse, and Colin Greening scored for the Senators, and Mika Zibanejad and Chris Neil had two assists apiece.
Henrik Lundqvist made 26 saves for the Rangers.
Coyotes 7, Predators 4 — Radim Vrbata had two goals and an assist and Rostislav Klesla added four assists and visiting Phoenix scored six times in the opening period to cruise by Nashville.
Martin Hanzal, David Moss, Matthew Lombardi, Keith Yandle, and Antoine Vermette also scored for the Coyotes, who snapped a seven-game losing streak — thanks to their big first period that included five goals in a span of 6:40.

LYNCHBURG, Va. -- There are no pictures of Samuel Kelso, but his legacy remains.
The son of slaves, Kelso proposed at Virginia's 1867 Constitutional Convention the novel concept of public schools for everyone, blacks and whites. Educating the masses -- especially recently freed slaves -- was no small idea in Virginia at the time: A generation before, reading and writing were occupations reserved for rich whites. Slaves who dared turn the pages of a book sometimes had their fingers cut off.
The struggle and sacrifice for literacy among blacks in the South is a story that Lynchburg's Legacy Museum will detail in a series of exhibits starting June 24.
''We want people to understand the legacy of this unequal past,'' said Carolyn W. Bell, who is overseeing the exhibit. ''Today, there are increasing numbers of African-Americans in business or government. But for so long, they lagged behind. Sometimes, the only education available to African-Americans was a vocational education.''
For about a year, museum volunteers searched through closets and attics of friends and neighbors, looking for artifacts from the days of segregation.
They came back with yellowed school clothes, geography books made from cardboard, and a dusty leather-bound Bible, the kind from which blacks learned to read. From local libraries, they found snapshots of barefoot children of various ages, crammed on benches in a schoolhouse. Altogether, the volunteers compiled enough material for two years of exhibits, Bell said.
And then there was Kelso. He was known to have taught at a private freedman's school on Twelfth Street. But despite his contribution, Kelso remains relatively unknown in the town where he taught so many children. None of the volunteers could find pictures of the local teacher or the families who claimed him as a descendant.
Samuel L. Horst, a professor emeritus of American history at Eastern Mennonite University in Harrisonburg, also had difficulty learning about Kelso. While working on his Ph.D. at the University of Virginia and later on a history book about black schools, Horst could find little more than brief anecdotes about him in the diary of Jacob Yoder, Kelso's friend and fellow educator.
''I'm pretty sure he was self-taught,'' said Horst, thumbing through notes he compiled from the national archives in Washington. ''And at school there's mention that he had a band.''
Kelso was also appointed to the Virginia Constitutional Convention after the Civil War. On Dec. 14, 1867, he asked that Virginia create and support a school system ''which shall give to all classes a free and equal participation in all its benefits.''
''It was an attempt to make legal what never was allowed before,'' said Peter Wallenstein, a professor of Southern history at Virginia Tech. ''This really was an amazing transition, and one that happened in a very short period of time.''
Virginia had previously outlawed teaching slaves to read. Those who were caught were whipped or had their fingers cut off, Bell said. Still, Wallenstein estimates that one in 20 slaves had learned to read by the end of the Civil War.
Slaves had known the benefits of being able to read and write. Literacy held the promise of turning farmers into doctors, lawyers, politicians. It allowed them to keep records, to understand contracts.
''There probably was also a realization among slaves that 'boy, there must be something to this reading stuff if they don't want us to have it,''' Wallenstein said.
The idea of basic literacy for everyone was imported by the Yankee teachers who followed the liberating armies of the North, founding ''freedmen's'' schools for former slaves. During the late 1860s, public schools became a pressing issue everywhere in the South, Wallenstein said. By 1870, just about every state had one.
The Legacy Museum's exhibit, ''Struggle, Sacrifice, and Scholarship: Black Education in Central Virginia, 1800-1922,'' covers this revolutionary time, including the development of vocational education for blacks, segregation, and the role of the black church and northern philanthropy in black education.
A sequel exhibit planned for June 2002 will discuss integration and the quest for equality in education from 1923 to 1970.
Among the displays of old books and photographs, there will be the remains of Kelso's story, which many in Lynchburg will hear for the first time.
''This is a story that needs to be told,'' said Gloria Franklin, a Lynchburg resident who volunteered to help compile information for the exhibit. ''A lot of black people think they don't have a history, but they do.''

Four large ship-to-shore cranes arrived at the Port of Savannah's Garden City Terminal on Wednesday, increasing the facility's total number of electric-powered container cranes to 25 — the most of any U.S. terminal, according to the Georgia Ports Authority (GPA).Designed by Konecranes of Finland and assembled in Nantong, China, the cranes can reach across vessels 22 containers wide and lift cargo weighing up to 65 long tons to a height of 136 feet. Each 1,388-ton crane measures 433 feet wide and 185 feet tall. Combined with North America's largest container terminal and two Class Is on site — CSX Transportation and Norfolk Southern Railway — the cranes will enhance the customer experience at the Savannah facility, said GPA Executive Director Curtis Foltz in a prepared statement.The crane fleet upgrades demonstrate the GPA's commitment to expand capacity, provide more growth opportunities and increase flexibility to meet customers' needs, authority officials said. "Savannah leads the Southeast in containerized cargo [and] these improvements will complement the planned harbor deepening to ensure Savannah's premier status in moving U.S. exports to the global marketplace," said GPA Chairman Robert Jepson.Meanwhile, the Port of Los Angeles and Hamburg Port Authority recently signed a five-year memorandum of understanding to increase cooperation and solidify their partnership.The U.S. and German port agreed to share strategies and best practices on topics ranging from port infrastructure, environmental and security challenges, and strategies to enhance trade competitiveness. The agreement could potentially benefit U.S. and international companies within the transportation and logistics industry, port officials believe."We have been fortunate to have a close collaborative relationship with the Hamburg Port Authority [and] this agreement formalizes and expands our partnership," said Port of Los Angeles Executive Director Geraldine Knatz in a press release. "I expect it to be beneficial to both ports in the years ahead."
