Max didnt seem to be minding the cold on Tuesday in Tompkins Square Park
Outdoor workers are braving the big chill
By Julie Shapiro
Temperatures on Tuesday hit the low 20s, but the wind chill felt much colder especially to people working outside.
Its really cold today, said Fermen Peguero, who was unloading stacks of wood and boxes in front of Cosmopolitan lumber shop on Spring St. Today, its very, very cold.
You get used to it after a while, said Jason Vega, who was also unloading. He and Frankie Magnard spent over nine hours outside, bundled in thick gloves and hats, wearing tan one-piece jumpsuits. Vega called his outfit a monkey suit, but Magnard said it was more like a keep-warm suit.
Their advice on how to stay warm?
Stay indoors, Vega said.
But not everyone had that option. Construction workers wielded equipment with gloved hands and wore hats with earflaps descending from beneath their helmets. Vendors lined Canal St., huddled behind their tables of purses and shoes, blowing on their hands.
A man named Shaon stood beside a table of watches on Canal St., where he worked for 10 hours. He kept warm by ducking into nearby buildings every 15 to 20 minutes. Shaon didnt notice a change in business, but Everybody is wearing a lot of clothes, he said.
Boris Rafael spent nine hours in a small heated stand on Spring St. and Sixth Ave., selling bagels, pastries and drinks to passersby. He said hed sold more hot drinks than usual.
Dmitry Lenin worked all day in an outdoor booth at a parking lot at Canal and Greene Sts., but the cold didnt phase him.
Im from Russia, Lenin said. This is summer in Russia.
Lenin is surprised by the people he sees who arent properly dressed for the weather.
Layers will save you, he said, zipping down his overcoat to reveal a fleece pullover and, beneath that, a sweatshirt. Layers, layers, layers.
Lenin has a small heater in his outdoor booth, but it isnt for him its for his cash register, which is prone to freezing.
Lenin considers himself an expert on staying warm: You have to move around, he said. You have to eat properly, have hot tea a few times a day, and you can survive.... If you drink alcohol, youre going to freeze.
The extreme temperatures prompted the Department of Homeless Services to deploy outreach teams around the clock to look for at-risk individuals.
This cold weather can be downright dangerous and we dont want anyone dying on the streets, D.H.S. Commissioner Robert Hess said. Since D.H.S. workers cannot be everywhere at once, Hess asks New Yorkers to call 311 or 212-533-5151 if they see a person in need.

Marshfield Woman Indicted for Perjury in Connection with Lying on Court Affidavit and Lying About Son's Death to Mortgage Lender to Avoid or Delay Payments on Her Home
A Plymouth County Grand Jury returned indictments against Donna Larson, age 52, on charges of Attempted Larceny and Perjury.
In September 2008, the Attorney General's Office began an investigation after Larson's activities were referred by Plymouth Superior Court. Authorities allege that on numerous occasions between June 2007 and September 2008, Larson repeatedly lied to her mortgage company and in court documents submitted to the Southeast Housing Court and Plymouth Superior Court in order to delay or avoid mortgage payment obligations and eviction from her West Bridgewater residence.
Larson stopped making payments on her mortgage in November, 2006. In June and August 2007, she falsely reported to her mortgage company that a son in the military had died and that she was awaiting payment of a life insurance policy that she intended to use to pay off her loan. Based on this misrepresentation, the mortgage company granted multiple extensions on mortgage payments before ultimately foreclosing on the loan in September 2007.
Following the foreclosure, Larson failed to vacate the premises, and eviction proceedings were commenced in the Southeast Housing Court. In January and February 2008, under the assumed identity of a fictional clerk of an attorney known to her but not actually representing her, Larson sent the Southeast Housing Court two faxes requesting the postponement of an eviction hearing. The faxes falsely claimed that a relative of the attorney had died, and the attorney would be unavailable for the scheduled court dates. The court granted Larson two extensions based upon the false representations in the faxes.
In May 2008, a person claiming to be a relative of Larson's called the mortgage lender's attorney and falsely reported that Larson had died, again requesting additional time to vacate the residence. Believing that Larson was indeed deceased, the lender's attorney granted the defendant's family additional extensions on the eviction.
The mortgage lender's lawyer learned that Larson was not dead when, on May 28, 2008, Larson sought to delay the eviction by requesting the issuance of a temporary restraining order from the Plymouth Superior Court. Included with her request was a fabricated email from the mortgage company falsely confirming that the foreclosure of her mortgage had occurred in error. Larson affirmed the authenticity of the email in an affidavit signed under the penalties of perjury. The court granted the temporary restraining order. When later confronted with evidence that the email was fabricated and fictional in content, Larson submitted a second affidavit, also signed under the penalties of perjury, in which she reaffirmed the contents of the prior affidavit and her representations to the court.
A Plymouth County Grand Jury returned indictments against Larson on Friday. She is scheduled to be arraigned in Plymouth Superior Court on July 12, 2010.
The case is being prosecuted by Assistant Attorney General Roberta Horton, of Attorney General Coakley's Corruption and Fraud Division, and was investigated by financial investigator Davin Lee of the Corruption and Fraud Division and Massachusetts State Police assigned to the Attorney General's Office.

The chairman of Liberia's national elections commission says Tuesday's constitutional referendum was successful despite an error on the ballot papers.
In one of the amendments, voters were supposed to choose between 70 and 75 years as retirement ages for Supreme Court justices. But, the ballot papers listed the two choices as 75 and 75.
Voters also decided whether to reduce the number of years that a presidential candidate must have resided in Liberia from 10 to five years.
Elections commission chairman James Fromayan blames the situation on a printing error. He says the error will have no impact on the results of the referendum which he says are expected in two weeks.
"It was a printer's error on the symbol which really did have any negative impact on the question as posed, and so, to me, it was not much of an issue except for those who are trying to blow things out of proportion. The question here is this; do you want the retirement age of Supreme Court judges to be increased from 70 to 75. So now, with this symbol in printing, they put 75 and 75 which had nothing to do with the question itself," he said.
Liberia's main opposition party, the Congress for Democratic Change, called for a boycott of the vote saying the proposed changes would make it easier for President Ellen Johnson Sirleaf to retain power.
Senator Jewel Howard Taylor, wife of former President Charles Taylor, who is also chair of the Senate Electoral Committee, had called the referendum ballot confusing. She says, days before the referendum, the ballot lacked clarity.
But, Fromayan said Howard Taylor and others were confused by their own design.
"The question says. 'Do you agree for the residency clause to be reduced from 10 years to five years?' So, if you say 'yes' that means you're going for the five years; if you say 'no' that means you are retaining the 10 years and there's no confusion," Fromayan said.
He denies his commission waited until referendum day to tell the voters about the ballot error.
"That figure 75 appearing is something that we had a disclaimer to begin with. Besides that, we also educated the poll workers so that they explain to the voters, because you will be increasing something from 75 to 75, that's not an increment," Fromayan said.
Some local media reported poor voter turnout in parts of the country saying many voters were confused about what they were voting for. But, Fromayan said the referendum went well without too many complaints from voters.
"I went to Lofa [in northern Liberia]. I voted there and voters were not complaining except those who have seen this process go through successfully and they just want to look for something. So, I think to us, it is a major success," Fromayan said.
Fromayan said the Election Commission is simply carrying out what had been enacted by the Liberian legislature.
"The referendum came from the legislature. It came from the lawmakers. We are not the ones that advanced this proposition. We are only carrying it out as a result of the action of the legislature," Fromayan said.

CAPE CANAVERAL, Florida (Reuters) - An Atlas 5 rocket blasted off from Cape Canaveral Air Force Station on Friday carrying a sophisticated communications satellite designed to provide voice and data services for U.S. military forces around the world.
The 206-foot (63-meter) tall rocket, built and operated by United Launch Alliance, a partnership of Lockheed Martin and Boeing, lifted off at 9 a.m. EDT (1300 GMT) from a seaside launch pad just south of the Kennedy Space Center.
Perched on top of the booster was the second satellite in the U.S. Navy's Mobile User Objective System, or MUOS, network. The satellites, built by Lockheed Martin, are intended to augment and eventually replace the Navy's existing Ultra High Frequency satellites.
Those UHF spacecraft provide 2.4 kilobytes per second of digital voice only. MUOS spacecraft provide 348 kilobytes per second and adds data transmission capability.
The network, which will include four operational spacecraft and one on-orbit spare, is intended to bring 3G-cellular technology to ships at sea, submarines, aircraft, land vehicles and troops in the field.
"You can think of the satellites as the cell towers in the sky," Lockheed Martin vice president Iris Bombelyn told reporters during a prelaunch conference call. "That's a really good way to think of how the system works."
Weighing in at nearly 15,000 pounds (6,804 kg), MUOS satellites are the heaviest payloads to have flown on Atlas 5 rockets, which are outfitted with five strap-on solid fuel boosters to accommodate the load.
The first MUOS satellite was launched in 2012. MUOS 3 is targeted to launch in 2014, followed by MUOS 4 in 2015 and MUOS 5 after that.
The new satellite will spend about eight days adjusting its orbit so that it circles about 22,300 miles above Earth. It will then unfurl its solar panel wings and deploy two antennas to begin on-orbit checkouts prior to being put into service sometime next year.

Vice President Joe Biden has suggested that in order to better protect your home that a shotgun would be the best weapon for defense.
We're not going to quibble about a shotgun. It's a fine weapon with a healthy dose of effectiveness and lethality in the hands of someone who knows what to do with it. Even some who don't, we'll admit. Shoots through sheetrock and wooden studs, too.
Personally, an adjustable stock, possibly a pistol grip, and a magazine extension to allow for more shells would be preferable. Why have three or five shells when nine would be better? Of course! And a good tactical defense shotgun wouldn't be worth its beans without some rails and a light with a sensor, so you can blind the crap out of your assailant (if need be, of course) before taking care of bidness.
Ah, Joe. Smart man. He's the second-most powerful man in the world recommending a high-capacity magazine shotgun with super accessories. (Second-most? Really? What about Dennis Rodman? The Worm just finagled a private meeting with reclusive North Korean hairstyle icon Kim Jong Un. Rodman might be pushing the bar for the No. 2 spot. But we digress.)
Hold on to your sequestration notices … VP Joe Biden said what? To protect yourself, shoot off a balcony? Shoot through a door?
Apparently so, in this video!
Yes, he did! Biden said this: "If you wanna protect yourself get a double-barrel shotgun. Have the shells … a 12-gauge shotgun … and I promise you, as I told my wife, we live in an area that's wooded and somewhat secluded. I said, Jill, if there's ever a problem just walk out on the balcony here, just walk out … put that double barrel shotgun and fire two blasts."
Ah. Hmmm. Really? Just fire two blasts at an unknown target?
That's not really good safety advice, Mr. Vice President. Neither is shooting through a door. One of the most important tenets of firearm safety is "Know Your Target." Even the law enforcement folks know that.
A door? Biden really said that?
(The phrase "Biden really said that?" is believed to be used often in Congress and the White House whenever he's allowed out of the back yard.)
Yes, he did, in an interview published Monday with Field & Stream, when he said if "you want to keep someone away from your house, just fire the shotgun through the door."
Holy congressional aide scandal! Fire a gun off the balcony, and fire through a door!
So not only has Biden recommended firing at targets you're unsure of, you've also alerted the assailants (if they're still around, of course) that you're possibly out of ammunition since the next thing they'll hear is, "DAMN! I'M OUT OF AMMUNITION!" and they'll probably be pretty ticked off. Unless you hit them through the door or off the balcony, of course, and then you might have legal problems out the wazoo.
Biden said that? (Yes, Mr. President, he did. Twice.)
Let's see this video again:
So a guy in Virginia followed Biden's advice, shot through a door and now is in trouble!
As the kids like to text, SMH. (Twice.)

STOCKTON - Lincoln High baseball coach Paul King has implored his players to be more aggressive at the plate, after watching them take too many called strikes this season.
STOCKTON - Lincoln High baseball coach Paul King has implored his players to be more aggressive at the plate, after watching them take too many called strikes this season.
"I told them, 'Pitchers want to get ahead early, so they're going to throw first- and second-pitch strikes,'" King said. "How did I know that? Because that's what I tell our pitchers to do."
The Trojans took their coach's advice Thursday, jumping to a six-run lead on their way to 6-1 San Joaquin Athletic Association victory over Bear Creek.
Lincoln's Nos. 2 and 3 hitters, Nick Pedrucci and Pacific-bound Nate Verlin combined to go 5 for 6. They each had an RBI in the fourth inning, pushing the lead to 6-0, and Paul Rizo drove in two runs with a pair of sacrifice flies.
"We were taking too many early, but now we're swinging early and scoring runs," said King, who teaches at the district's alterative high school and in his first season leading the program. "We're a very different team at the plate right now."
The six-run lead was plenty for Carson Criner (1-1, 1.62 ERA), who allowed one run over six innings. He escaped trouble in his final two innings before Jaques Bennett retired the side in order to close the game.
Bear Creek had two runners on base in the fifth, but a double play ended the threat. A one-out, bases-loaded walk in the sixth put the Bruins on the board, but Criner retired the next two hitters on soft liners.
"Carson had thrown just 45 pitches through four innings, but he got fatigued," said King, noting it was Criner's longest stint this season. "We're in league now, so we'll stick with our starters later into games."
Lincoln's losses are 3-2 to Turlock-Pitman, 6-5 to Carmichael-Jesuit and 5-2 to Tokay - those three are a combined 19-8.
King is in his first season coaching Lincoln's varsity after one year coaching Stagg's freshman team.
"The school was looking for a coach, and someone told them I had played some college baseball. I like the talent we have. I won't say we're the league favorite, but we've got the talent to win it."
The Trojans have their top SJAA rivals coming up: Today, they host Lodi and they visit Tracy on April 4. They've also got a rematch with Tokay on April 3 in a night game at Zupo Field in Lodi.
The SJAA has a triple round-robin schedule, so King realizes it could be a while before a favorite emerges.
"We're hitting the ball now, we're getting good pitching. These kids have what it takes to be champions," he said.

Who walks and who doesn't
Most of them walked the carpet and posed on Saturday night at the White House Correspondents' Dinner. Some of them didn't.
Bradley Cooper didn't. He was shot getting out of the car and heading into the venue but did not stop for photographs. He was photographed however at the Bloomberg Vanity Fair after-party talking to his boss, Harvey Weinstein, but barely. And look closely -- I think that might be Suki Waterhouse just behind him in silver.
Jeremy Renner also avoided the carpet. There are only photos of Renner at the Bloomberg party, apparently having a moment with Hayden Panettiere.
And same goes for Granny Freeze Nicole Kidman who was photographed when she arrived (in old lady lilac) but who bypassed the official photo area and went straight inside. Kidman agreed to a couple of photos at the Bloomberg after-party but that's it.
George Clooney did the same last year when he attended the White House Correspondents' Dinner. He graciously posed for photos inside the ballroom with all the fangirl politicians and lobbyists and was pictured at the after-party, but declined to make an appearance on the celebrity pimp walk. Maybe it's just me but it's fascinating this kind of behaviour -- the ones who chose to and the ones who skip. And the conclusions you might come to about where they are or where they think they are in their careers (with Kevin Spacey as an exception because given what House Of Cards is all about, he almost couldn't keep a lower profile).
PS. Gerard Butler walked. HAHAHAHAHAHA

AirTran Holdings (Nasdaq:AAI) is one of America's largest low-fare passenger airlines. The airline has managed to achieve low operating costs despite relying on a hub-and-spoke system, in which most of its flights originate and terminate at its hub in Atlanta, Georgia. The point to point system is less expensive due to the fact that it allows for utilization of minor airports that are in close proximity to major cities. Conversely, the hub and spoke system forces legacy airlines to direct their traffic through major airports that have both high landing and rental fees.
Given AirTran's continued reliance on the hub and spoke system, airline management has cited other operational factors as cause for the airline having a cost structure that is among the lowest in the industry. By using only two aircraft types, the Boeing Company (BA) 737 and 717, [1] AirTran is able to spend less on training its pilots and its maintenance technicians. Additionally, it has a smaller inventory of spare parts because the parts are interchangeable. AirTran also has one of the youngest fleets, with average age of only 4.5 years. [2] In addition to delaying replacement costs, a major problem faced by other airlines, the relative youth of its fleet translates into greater fuel efficiency. Moreover, AirTran's status as a low fare carrier means that its customers are more sensitive to fare increases than those of other airlines, limiting AAI's ability to pass along increases in operating costs. The company is also more vulnerable to U.S economic downturns than some of its legacy competitors because it lack an international presence.
In 2009, AAI generated a net income of $134.7 million on revenues of $2.34 billion. this represents a significant turnaround from 2008, when the company lost $266.3 million on $2.55 billion in revenues.[3]
Fuel is the company's largest expenditure. Like most airlines, AirTran's balance sheet is largely affected by volatility in the price of oil. Increases in the price of fuel are hard to pass on to consumers due to the competitive nature of the airline industry; however, AirTran does benefit from its new fuel efficient Boeing jets which assist in mitigating the volatility. AirTran has also begun to install winglets on its Boeing 737's to help improve the fuel efficiency of the planes.
AirTran has relatively high liquidity for an airline company. This liquidity lets AirTran lock in the price of fuel when it is low (airlines with poor balance sheets have had less success hedging fuel because they cannot afford the hedges) and use these hedges to lessen the blow of fuel expenses to the balance sheet.
===AirTran takes advantage of industry consolidation===AirTran The airline industry is enduring a period of consolidation after the merger of Northwest Airlines and Delta Airlines. These mergers are a result of the industry attempting to cope with historically high fuel prices. [4] AirTran Holdings would actually benefit from the Delta-Northwest merger as it will trim excess domestic capacity, reduce competition in some of the nation's busiest airports, and let airline companies to keep fares firm. [5] In Orlando, one of AirTran's hubs, Northwest and Delta are the No. 1 and No. 3 airlines for route coverage between the markets that AirTran serves. As Delta and Northwest attempt to cut flights on overlapping routes, AirTran will be able to use its low-cost service to appeal to a new customer base.
The benefits of a merger in the airline industry include the opportunity to cut costs and to pursue a larger route system to better serve customers. By getting rid of duplicate operations and taking advantage of stronger pricing power, AirTran would be able to increase its marketshare and reduce many of its costs. Since 2005, AirTran has been pursuing a merger with Midwest airlines : a mid-sized carrier headquartered in Milwaukee. This merger offered AirTran the opportunity to combine two strong regional networks. On August 12, 2007 AirTran offered over $16.25 per share. In the short term, the merged carriers have the ability to enhance revenue through a broader product offering. However, these mergers are also subject to various regulatory obstacles in addition to difficulties in seeking to successfully integrate the two distinct carrier cultures.
AirTran can expect stricter regulation in the industry from government agencies after the FAA announced that it will play a larger role in safety inspections. This increase is a direct result of testimonies from FAA inspectors that airlines reported safety problems voluntarily, sometimes without follow-up government safety inspections. [6] AirTran has already had to perform intensive work on the hardware of its entire fleet of Boeing 737-700s after a fire destroyed a China Airlines Boeing 737-800 in Japan. [7] AirTran was given 10 days to complete the inspections and 24 days to complete the technical services. Both jobs were completed in seven days. [8]
AirTran has tried to stand out in the airline industry through attempting to target a generally ignored crowd. Although most airline companies attempt to reach business travelers and adult consumers, AirTran is going after the college age crowd in its attempt to foster consumer loyalty. [9]. The company has introduced fare specials which alllow college students to fly standby on any flight for $99 or less.
Despite the fact that AirTran has 737's that are capable of reaching South American destinations from its Atlanta hub, the company has thus far decided to focus only on domestic destinations. This does not follow the trend with most airlines in the industry considering the larger margins available from international flights. Delta Air Lines, which has said that more than 40 percent of its flying will be in international traffic by this summer, will start nine new international routes. [10] Other low-cost airlines such as Spirit and JetBlue have already expanded their offering in terms of flights available to the Carribean and Latin America.
AirTran faces heavy competition from JetBlue, especially considering the announcement that JetBlue will be making Orlando one of its focus cities. This move not only positions JetBlue as a direct challenge to AirTraden in one of its focus cities, but also gives JetBlue a gateway for trips to its various international destinations. JetBlue provides the only service from Orlando, Florida to Cancun, Mexico. The airline has also received tentative approval to begin daily nonstop trips to Bogotá Colombia. These international destinations offer much higher margins and pose a threat to AirTran in one of its largest developing markets. [11]
Southwest announced in May 2008 that it needs to raise its revenue through higher ticket prices. The company has been forced to add $10 to $30 to its highest fares for the right to choose early on its flights. It has also increased, to 15, the number of fares it might have on any one flight, nearly double the old number, permitting more effective competition against hub-and-spoke carriers that list as many as 26 fares.[12]
AirTran has a less immediate need for cash, given that it raised $140 million through public offerings of stock and convertible notes. [13] This cushion of capital permits the company to deal with its rising fuel costs without having to significantly raise its prices and thus lose its standings with consumers as a cheap alternative to large carriers. In addition to this accumulation of capital, AirTran also has initiated plans to suspend capacity growth in order to move more assertively against rising fuel prices.
AAI's other competitors include:

WASHINGTON — Calling it a "gold rush mentality," Washington state's top marijuana consultant predicts thousands of people will apply for licenses to sell and produce the drug for recreational use as the state prepares to open 334 pot stores by June 1, 2014.
All the privately run retail outlets will be in clear violation of the federal law that bans marijuana, but that's expected to do little to slow the number of applicants.
"There will be a ton. … And I think a lot of people are going to get badly burned because they're not going to succeed in business. There's going to be a lot of competition," said consultant Mark Kleiman, a professor of public policy at UCLA.
The state intends to begin accepting applications Nov. 18 after the Justice Department urged federal prosecutors last week to ignore pot markets in Washington state and Colorado, the first two states to legalize marijuana for all adults.
On Wednesday, the Washington State Liquor Control Board followed up by issuing revised rules for its pioneering marijuana system. While the board capped the number of stores at 334, including eight in Tacoma, there'll be no limit on the number of producers and processors, said Brian Smith, a spokesman for the board.
As excitement builds in the industry, key questions remain unresolved. Among them:
Will feds allow marijuana shops to accept credit cards, make deposits at banks and use armored trucks to haul their cash?
And what price will the U.S. pay if it's found in violation of international treaties aimed at cracking down on drug trafficking?
"This presents a lot of problems for U.S. diplomats abroad negotiating drug policy," said Kevin Sabet, a legalization opponent who served as an adviser on drug issues to three presidents.
As Congress prepares to end its five-week summer break this week, the Senate Judiciary Committee is ready to search for answers on how to best govern one of the nation's hottest new industries.
On Tuesday, the panel plans to examine the clash between state and federal marijuana laws in the first hearing of the year on Capitol Hill devoted solely to pot issues.
As part of its deliberations, Congress is under growing pressure to pass a law providing legal cover to anyone licensed by a state.
While such a law is unlikely to pass, marijuana advocates say it's sorely needed.
"Washington and Colorado are in the process of issuing state licenses to commit federal felonies. That's sort of a problem," Kleiman said.
Dave Kois, 39, of Olympia said he planned to apply for a license to sell the marijuana "edibles" he now provides to medical marijuana dispensaries. He predicted that at least 70 percent of those in the medical marijuana field in Washington state will try to make the jump to recreational sales.
"It just seems like a smart move, basically," Kois said. He said there was "no doubt" that the business still carried legal risks, but he's happy that federal prosecutors are being urged to stay away: "It's good to see that they're coming around, at least, and trying to respect the state's law."
Without a change in federal law, Kleiman said, licensed sellers face a big legal risk. He noted that the Justice Department is only offering guidance to prosecutors and that U.S. attorneys still have the discretion on whether to file charges. He said the guidance did nothing to change the fact that marijuana remained illegal under the federal Controlled Substances Act.
Moreover, any guidance from the Justice Department could easily change when President Barack Obama leaves office in 2017.
As an alternative, Kleiman wanted the Justice Department to sign contractual agreements with Washington state and Colorado allowing them to legally sell marijuana in exchange for their help in preventing interstate shipments of marijuana. He said the federal government didn't have enough agents to do the job on its own.
With the Obama administration and Congress spending billions each year to fight drug trafficking around the globe, Sabet said, the new policy is sure to prompt questions from other countries. Earlier this year, the International Narcotics Control Board warned that a decision by the U.S. to allow the two states to proceed with their plans would violate drug-control treaties.
"What does a country like Mexico that is being told to reduce its supply do when the federal government tells the states (they can) go ahead?" Sabet asked.
He said U.S. diplomats would be forced into the uncomfortable position of having to scold other countries for not doing enough to fight drugs while they "pretend that Colorado and Washington are not under their purview."
"That makes no sense to the international community," Sabet said.
Shortly after voters in Washington and Colorado legalized marijuana in their states, a group of Latin America leaders representing Mexico, Belize, Honduras and Costa Rica said it would be harder for them to enforce their marijuana bans if the new laws were permitted to stand.
Kleiman said individual states weren't bound by the terms of the drug-control treaties.
After getting the Justice Department to accept the state-run operations, marijuana backers now plan to lobby Obama's team to get the Treasury Department and Drug Enforcement Administration to jump on board. They complain that marijuana businesses now must run as cash-only operations, with banks required to report any deposits they receive from suspicious sources. And they say the businesses are an inviting target for robbers, as drug agents won't even allow them to use armored-car services.
When senators on the Judiciary Committee begin tackling the questions Tuesday, they'll do it without hearing from Attorney General Eric Holder. He declined an invitation from Democratic Sen. Patrick Leahy of Vermont, the committee's chairman, but he plans to send one of his top assistants, Deputy Attorney General James Cole.
Under its new policy, the Justice Department says it will allow Washington and Colorado to conduct full-scale marijuana operations as long as the states do a good job of policing themselves. Among the conditions: No pot may be sold to minors, marijuana must not cross the borders of another state, no revenue may go to criminal enterprises and no pot may be grown on public lands or allowed on federal property.
That doesn't go far enough for Sen. Charles Grassley of Iowa, the top Republican on the Judiciary Committee and a co-chairman of the Senate Caucus on International Narcotics Control. He said the move "sends the wrong message to both law enforcement and violators of federal law."
But as polls find marijuana legalization rising in popularity this year, especially with young voters, most opponents in Congress have opted to stay out of the fight, with no bills introduced to try to stop either state from selling and taxing pot.

Kyrie Irving had 17 points and 12 assists to spoil the homecoming for Evan Turner as Cleveland beat the Philadelphia 76ers 104-93 on Monday night in an exhibition game played at Value City Arena on the Ohio State campus.
Turner, who had 14 points, was the national player of the year for the Buckeyes as a junior in 2010 before deciding to enter the NBA Draft, where he was the second overall selection.
The Cavs (4-2) pulled away with the aid of a technical given to Philadelphia's Royce White after he picked up his fifth foul with 8:57 remaining. He was ejected and Matthew Dellavedova made three free throws for a 78-74 lead.
Tristan Thompson had 15 points and 16 rebounds for Cleveland.

Denver Mayor Michael Hancock fulfills his wager, does the 'Ray Lewis' dance
Denver Mayor Michael Hancock pulls out the stops fulfilling a wager with Baltimore Mayor Stephanie Rawlings-Blake made before the NFL divisional playoff game between the Denver Broncos and Baltimore Ravens on Jan. 13.
Hancock's wager was delayed when he injured himself at the National Western Stock Show & Rodeo, but on Tuesday he sent out the video via an e-mail from his office.
The video shows the mayor's staff in a meeting around a table when Hancock walks in, reads the newspaper about Denver's loss and tosses it in the garbage. Then the music starts, Nelly's "Hot in Herre." And Hancock, on a rug, starts the pre-game dance made famous by Ravens linebacker Ray Lewis.

Have you heard that they have contained lead on purpose during Qing~ROC era? (in Yixing)Teaism wrote:Hi Victoria3,It is very subjective whether or not we should continue using the smelly teapot. But for me, I will definitely never use it since it affects the smell of tea. In addition, I worry if it is not safe. Though I have no data to say it is harmful. I just want to stay away from the possible risk.
Yixing pot should not have smell and if there is, it is best to use it for decoration only. There are sayings that in those smelly pots, the clay is spiked with lead and/or iron to reduce the firing temp to around 600 instead of over 1000, for economical purpose. Also real Yixing clay is rare now and very unlikely to be found in the present commercially mass market pot. So be careful. If you have doubt, Gaiwan is a safer bet or those pots of the 70s/80s is generally a better bet.
Cheers and have a good day my friend.
I do know they inserted iron oxide during late-Qing, because many late-Qing Zhuni lacked 'redness', these Zhunis are found in SE asia with a name of 'Fuji (the studio)' and the result is they lack a gloss while the colors are enhanced.
I have a suspicious late-Qing pot, with its color is unlikely pretty but shined (seasoned) but it smells (no kind of smells I've experienced before), and low-fired.
You are right that iron-contained commercial pots (many are seen) smell but not Factory-1 (8~90s), meaning inserting iron also needs experience and skills

Worry Your Way to Longevity
By Philip D.
June 9, 2012
There may be hope for me yet. According to a book I read recently, those who worry in moderation appear to outlive their overly cheerful counterparts. If that's really true, I may be around to blog for a very long time.
It's called The Longevity Project. Written by two Ph.D.s -- Howard Friedman and Leslie Martin -- they compiled an eight-decade study of American lifestyle and its consequences. It all started in 1921 when Stanford University psychologist Lewis Terman enrolled 1,500 eight year olds, with the primary goal to follow each of them throughout their lives. Cradle to grave in the U.S., so to speak. He interviewed their parents, teachers and those who knew them best. Not just to see if they ate their vegetables or exercised regularly but to uncover their core personalities and behaviors. Was the participant intellectual, moral, emotional, aesthetic or anti-social? Were they optimistic, religious, moody or conscientious? Did they come from divorced parents, marry or remain single, join the Army or become rich and famous?
Even after Terman's death in 1956, the study was carried on by his students, following its participants (affectionately known as "Termites") until the end of their lives. In 1990, Friedman and Martin, using the foundation of Terman's work and detailed data collected on each participant (well into adulthood and including death certificates) began to piece together the effects of personality, behaviors and a long life.
The book is a quick and easy read with several tests included, to help you discover where you might fall in the longevity continuum. Here's a few points that I found interesting. Don't forget I am a pessimist in recovery.
On a lighter note, their behavior recommendations for maintaining health?
"These activities are part of long-term patterns that characterize healthy and happy individuals. The healthy patterns and pathways come first, and they lead to both health and happiness."
Who else might stay in the game longer? Men and women with more feminine behaviors live longer than men and women with more masculine behaviors. People that have active social lives outlive the hermits and recluses. Men do worse if they divorce and don't remarry; the women do better. Religious folks tend to stay around longer but not because of the stress relief of prayer and meditation but because it often goes hand in hand with a deep-seated sense of community. If you spend two years of your life running on a treadmill to lengthen your life, you probably will live about two years longer; but very possibly in a hospital or nursing home. Translation: run on a treadmill only if you love running on a treadmill.
Yeah, yeah, yeah ... but what about us worriers? According to Friedman and Martin, worrying may be bad for your health -- if you're female. "Terman's female children worriers were usually sicker and died earlier but for the men the results were dramatically different. Although they went on to report being sicker and unhappier as they aged, they were less likely to die. If the neurotic individuals were also conscientious, things got even better." It seems when it comes to neurotic worrying, it depends greatly on the degree in which it occurs. "Chicken Littles" who are constantly expecting doom and disaster may not make it to old age but "moderate worriers" tend to be engaged in their lives and the body responds positively.
So what did I take away from all of this? It's all the things I consistently do, day by day, that make up my lifestyle. Personality and emotional disposition have a powerful influence on the behaviors and activities that I fill my days with. When and how will all of this end? I have no idea -- but I'm gonna try not to worry about it ... much.

A Positive Spin
Philip D.
After testing HIV positive in 2007, I promised myself that I would make something "good" from all that I was handed. From the very beginning, each time I was presented with an obstacle or challenge, I also received some help. Usually in the form of a person, sometimes an opportunity; but I have grown so much, it has made it impossible for me to call the past few years "bad." Although I've never written much of anything before, I have been so incredibly fortunate, I feel like I must pay it forward somehow. Maybe by sharing my experience, it will help those starting later in the game, on the fast track to HAART, or anyone that's feeling a bit isolated or "stuck" with their diagnosis.

Call of the wild
You can't beat a system you can't understand
Call of the Wild
An alarming trend in the travel industry is causing aware readers good reason for concern. Advertisements in certain publications are luring vacationers seeking the so-called "ultimate adventure" with (GASP!) misleading information. I say "alarming" because in this case, the industry's practice of making less than exotic destinations sound like the second coming of the Garden of Eden could prove hazardous to your health.
Travel publications describe the "ultimate adventure" with compelling headlines like, "See wildlife in their natural habitat." That is just appalling. How can anyone with even a modicum of decency be so blatantly devious? The verbiage sounds exciting and harmless, but do not be too hasty to pack your bags. Read the sentence carefully.
The operative word in the headline is "their." The description would like you to believe it is "see." The travel biz depends on buzzwords like see, do, experience, and enjoy. People like to see new things, do things they've never done before, experience things they've only read about or seen on television, and enjoy themselves in a new and different environment.
Consequently, they don't pay attention to words like "their." In a travel brochure "their," has a stigma because it sounds like something that belongs to somebody else, and whatever is "theirs" generally excludes the reader. Well . . . sometimes that is not such a bad thing.
Wildlife preserves are some of the more popular "ultimate adventure" destinations. However, the word "wildlife" is not to be taken lightly. It means exactly as it sounds, "wild" and "life." It is alive and probably has questionable manners.
The brochures are correct in telling prospective adventure seekers that they will in fact, be "visiting" wildlife in their natural habitat because after a few days, the intelligent tourists will have learned that the "wildlife" did not invite them to so much as step foot into "their" territory. You see, "visit" is perceived by wildlife as "invade."
The first clue that tells visitors that wildlife did not invite them to invade their territory is the signage. At the entrance to most wildlife sanctuaries, signs say something like "Welcome to Moosenose Wildlife Preserve." The part they leave out is: "All Visitors Can Be Eaten."
Travel companies leave out the latter because it could seriously affect sales. Instead, they encourage the people running the preserves to warn visitors that animals like bears, mountain lions, buffalo, and other living mammals, most of which are too large to enter most homes reside there.
That is why the signs that say things like: "Do not feed or attempt to pet the animals," should be taken very seriously. They are supposed to be warning visitors, that is you, that feeding the animals is not a good practice because they will learn to expect food from anyone coming to "their" habitat that is not one of them.
I believe the real reason is that anyone visiting a wildlife sanctuary will probably not have enough food to make an animal like an 800-pound bear happy. I suspect that if say, a grizzly bear, that would be a reasonable example, did not consider a peanut butter and jelly sandwich to be a satisfying meal, a visitor could look mighty tasty. I do not know this for sure, but in this case I will follow my instincts.
However, my instincts also tell me that if any of the aforementioned animals looked at my cooler, knapsack, grocery bags, or anything containing food, with interest - I would give it to them. I might even encourage them to take it, because while they are eating a week's worth of provisions from my cooler, they are not eating me. In my less than humble opinion, that is a good thing.
Now, let's just take a moment to address the petting issue. No matter how cuddly and playful little yellow cats or furry little bears might appear to be, do not pet them. Visitors to wildlife sanctuaries must always remember that these critters have mothers. I might remind you that their mothers are also cats and bears, only much larger. And, they do not like anyone other than themselves playing with their children.
Mountain lions and bears have claws that make Freddy Krueger look as if he just got a manicure. If you play with their children, their instinct is to first maul, then slice into bite size pieces, and feed you to them.
Personally, I have never heard "the call of the wild." It has never so much as whispered to me, let alone called. Whenever I see a sign that says anything resembling "Welcome to Lion's Tooth Wildlife Sanctuary," it translates to me as advertising speak for "Keep Out."
This summer, when you make plans to visit some exotic destination for a real adventure, remember, travel advertising is a large part of that system we can't understand.

By Roger Chadwick
The war was on, everything in short supply. Even in the Junior Department we were told to write on the inside covers of exercise books and across the margins. Any sheet of paper with a clean side had to be used. Sugar bag paper was used for art work. Those waxy cardboard milk bottle tops had to be brought to school for further use: raffia was worked around any available container to make "spell" boxes, those things we used at home with "spells" of wood to light the fire! Nothing was wasted. Old blotting paper lined precious jam jars for the beans and peas to grow on the window sills. Tops of carrots were brought on saucers to grow foliage. Woe betide any child who wasted anything! The one third pint of milk had to be drunk even if it was frozen. No child could leave anything on the plate of a school dinner. "Get that down yer and stop messing about; the convoys brought that across the Atlantic", warned my grandmother!
I cannot say whether this kind of education was right or wrong. Suffice it to say that even though I am no mathematician, mental arithmetic has stood me in good stead throughout life as has the grounding in grammar. Class 8 at Leigh Street School in 1949-50 had 53 pupils presided over by a teacher who knew what she had to do, brooked no nonsense or interference, gave favours to none and criticism to all and made sure that everyone in that class could read and write before they went into secondary or technical education. She wasn't there to be liked or loved: she had a job to do and did it magnificently!
Leigh Street 1949
Many thanks to Roger for sharing his memories and to the "Hyde Schoolday Memories" book that was sent to me by Joyce and Graham Sharp.

Country singer Randy Travis to enter DUI plea
SHERMAN, Texas -- A prosecutor says country music star Randy Travis is expected to enter a guilty plea in a drunken-driving case in North Texas.
Grayson County District Attorney Joe Brown says details of the agreement will be released following Travis' court appearance Thursday in Sherman.
Travis was naked when he was arrested following a single-vehicle accident Aug. 7 near Tioga, about 60 miles north of Dallas. Authorities have said his blood-alcohol level was more than 0.15. The legal limit for driving is 0.08.
Brown says Travis will plead guilty to misdemeanor drunken driving, punishable by up to two years in jail and a $4,000 fine.
The 53-year-old Travis also faced a retaliation charge for allegedly threatening officers, though that charge is no longer in court files.
His attorney wasn't available for comment.

Just ran across a listing for a new 4x5 wooden field camera, a Markimage Field 4 5-1F, built in Hong Kong. Looks quite nice and the price ain't bad. Wondered if anyone here knew about this camera, or had used one. I'm thinking of going to 4x 5, do mostly outdoor stuff, and would use a field camera, though a metal job has been recommended for me because I live in a coastal environment where salt, sea and extreme cold are a consideration. Still, price is a consideration, too. Tha nx!

Sharing TA Tools
Don't reinvent the wheel. That simple phrase explains why the TARGET Center compiles tools and resources developed by the Ryan White Community. Hundreds of tools can be found, ranging from needs assessment methodologies to clinical protocols. Tools were developed by HRSA's HIV/AIDS Bureau and Ryan White grantees and planning bodies.
The collection has grown slowly and carefully, from fewer than 50 items in 2003 to 500+ today. Additional topics include clinic operations, fiscal management, and techniques for engaging people in care. But it is not a catch-all collection. Every single item is screened and approved based upon its TA potential. HRSA/HAB project officers take the lead in selecting tools.
Where Tools Are Discovered
Below are just a few examples of where tools have been found:
- Listservs: Every so often, someone on a Ryan White listserv asks for a copy of a protocol, a job description, or another resource—and someone shares what they have. For example, Missouri, the Ryan White Part B grantee, answered a CAREWare listserv request for policies and materials on medical information privacy and patient confidentiality. We reviewed and added them.
- Project Officer Contributions: As busy as they are, project officers share resources developed by grantees and planning councils, like needs assessments, comprehensive plans, and clinical protocols.
- TA Cooperative Agreements: HRSA/HAB funds a number of cooperative agreements that develop TA materials, which are reviewed and entered into the search database in order to make finding TA resources a one-shop-stop.
- Linking to HRSA HAB's Online Resources: HRSA HAB funds several TA centers that handle a large volume of special collections, like the National Quality Center and AETC National Resource Center. Some TA tools are also hosted on the HRSA Information Center. The TARGET Center has global links to these sites in order to drive Web traffic to these centralized databases, which sort, update, and otherwise manage their materials.
- Web Searches: TARGET Center staff find stuff all the time—from emails telling us about new resources to accidental discoveries as we scan grantee and planning council Web sites.
How TA Tools are Selected
There are hundreds of resources in the TA collection. Prior to inclusion, every item is screened for its TA potential, using these criteria:
- Usable: Is it usable by the target audience?
- Clear: Is it clearly presented (e.g., clear format)?
- Consistent: Is it consistent with Ryan White legislation and HAB policy and guidance?
- Credible: Is it current and a credible source of information?
- Accepted Practice: Does it complement or reflect a generally accepted, previously existing model for the topic area?

Cooperative Investigations of Deep-Sea Brine Areas in the Red Sea
DOEI Funded Project: 2008
The central rift zone of the Red Sea is
known to contain more than 20 metalliferous morphological depressions filled by highly saline hot
brines and hydrothermal activity.
Individual sites, like Shaban, Kebrit, Atlantis II, and Discovery Deep
have been variously examined for their noble gases and hydrocarbon gases,
hydrography, and isotopic signatures. In
contrast to most hydrothermal areas, the chemistry of fluids in the Red Sea
brine pools results not only from reactions of seawater with basalts, but also
from interactions with another geochemical reservoir, the Miocene evaporates
underlying the entire Red Sea. With few exceptions, hydrothermal systems around
the global mid-ocean ridge system provide reduced chemicals with which to
sustain great abundances of highly specialized organisms with novel ecologies.
Locating chemosynthetic communities in the Red Sea is the essential first step
to discovering new species, novel ecological niches, and the answering the
long-standing question of how vent fauna have evolved along the global
mid-ocean ridge system.
Similarly, the geologic context of active brine pools and relict hydrothermal vent sites is critical for evaluating the controls on fluid circulation including the spatial scales of fluid pathways and heat sources. We will use imagery collected by TowCam along transects coupled with high-resolution seafloor bathymetric profiles to evaluate the extent of recent magmatic activity manifest at the seafloor and the distribution of faulting and fissuring in the areas surrounding the brine pools. Near-bottom observations will be merged with regional remotely sensed data sets (e.g., bathymetry, sidescan sonar) in order to characterize the relevant geologic characteristics over larger spatial scales. We will correlate the local and regional species diversity and the biological community structure, with the diverse tectonic settings and historical activity (as deduced by the near-bottom magnetics) through the analysis of near-bottom TowCam imaging and magnetic surveys. We will conduct preliminary analyses of biological, geological and geophysical data resulting from towed deep-sea digital camera (TowCam) surveys to be conducted in and across brine pool rifts in the Red Sea as part of the joint KAUST/WHOI collaborative cruises in Fall 2008. TowCam data will be acquired during Leg 2 (A. Bower, Chief Sci.) which has largely been funded by KAUST as an add-on to the overall project. Analysis of these data have important and broad implications for better understanding linkages between global hydrothermal vent communities and the specific nature of hydrothermal venting in brine pool settings within a nascent mid-ocean ridge forming in a young continental rift. Characterization of seafloor geology, in concert with the biological mapping and magnetics data will help us to better understand the nature of hydrothermal processes in these unique settings and permit correlation between distinct Red Sea sites and comparison to well-studied mid-ocean ridge vent sites.
