There is no doubt that the Friday Night Boys' Fueled By Ramen/Atlantic full-length debut, "Off the Deep End" is nothing but the newest kind of new wave pop songs. There's a lot of talent to appreciate with the band. This is bubble-gum pop's latest installment and although the lyrics aren't something that's for people far into their twenties, the melodies throughout every song and the hooks in every chorus are outstanding. Andrew Goldstein is a tremendous songwriter, especially for being as young as he is. He's advanced beyond his years in the element and he's what makes the Friday Night Boys run at a high level. The album is largely front-loaded but the second half of the album isn't bad either. "Off the Deep End" is one of the strongest albums I've heard in this genre. The Friday Night Boys are leaps ahead of other bands that play this type of music like Red Car Blue Wire, The White Tie Affair, and Cash Cash. While all of these bands make the same kind of music you can listen through The Friday Night Boys and hear that they are a band without a ceiling. A good debut, but expect a lot better things in the future. This is just the beginning for The Friday Night Boys.

MEMBER ALERT: AOPA Pilot Information Center and Member Services will be closed today, Dec. 12, after 2:30 p.m. Eastern, and will reopen Dec. 13 at 8:30 a.m. Eastern. Thank you for your understanding.
March 20, 2012
By Dan Namowitz
Contract control towers provide essential, cost-effective service to 249 airports in 46 states, justifying their full funding in the fiscal 2013 FAA appropriations bill, said AOPA President Craig Fuller and the chief executives of 11 other aviation organizations.
Contract towers handle about 28 percent of all control tower air traffic operations, but account for only 14 percent of the FAA's tower operations spending, the organizations' chiefs said in a letter to House and Senate Appropriations Committee leaders.
With Congress to take up the FAA's 2013 budget, the organizations "urge you to support funding of $136.1 million for the regular FAA Contract Tower Program, as well as an additional $10.35 million authorized for the continuation of the contract tower cost-sharing program," they wrote. "Full funding of the contract tower program will permit continuation of this important FAA safety program and allow additional non-towered airports to receive the vital safety benefits of a control tower."
The safety and efficiency record of the FAA Contract Tower Program "has been validated numerous times by the DOT Inspector General (IG) and FAA safety audits, as well as by the National Transportation Safety Board," but the Obama administration's funding request is about 6 percent lower than the level sought by the aviation industry.
In recent months the industry has monitored other efforts to curtail the program's funding. In December 2011, AOPA reported that the Office of Management and Budget had targeted the program for cuts--characterized as potentially "devastating" at the time by the American Association of Airport Executives, whose senior executive vice president, J. Spencer Dickerson, signed the March 16 letter to the appropriators. .
The letter also pointed out that contract control towers help smaller airports develop general aviation and commercial air service, and promote local economic development.
Topics Funding, FAA Financial and Regulatory, Aviation Industry, Contract Towers, Airport, NTSB, Government Agencies, FAA, Airports
AOPA is asking the FAA to withdraw a proposed airworthiness directive that could affect thousands of ECi cylinders.
The Civil Aviation Medical Association is objecting to the FAA's proposed sleep apnea policy, warning that the evidence doesn't justify the approach.
Cessna reports "strong deliveries" of the new TTx since being awarded an FAA type certificate in June, and Brazil has followed suit.
AOPA thanks our members for their continued support in protecting the freedom to fly.

Legislators are hearing it from public on transportation
It's an all-politics-are-local scenario.
A legislative listening tour so far has shown overwhelming support for a Washington transportation package, although the details of what people want most vary widely. On the Eastside, there's a big emphasis on Interstate 405 improvements. South of Seattle, there's a push to improve access to the Port of Tacoma along Highway 167. And in eastern Washington, they want to finish making Highway 12 four lanes between Pasco and Walla Walla.
The public feedback was significantly less clear, however, on whether the Legislature should support a gas tax hike to pay for all the construction.
The Republican-dominated Senate Majority Coalition Caucus set up a bipartisan tour of 10 Washington cities through mid-October to get feedback on how to put together a transportation package of projects, revenue sources and reforms. Crosscut attended the first four sessions, in Bellevue, Everett, Wenatchee and Yakima (the Tri-City Herald reported on a Thursday evening session in Pasco.)
Senate and House Republicans and Democrats are split almost totally along party lines in supporting two drastically different approaches on putting together a transportation package. The Democratic-controlled House passed a $10 billion transportation package with 10.5 cents per gallon increase in the gas tax in June. The 23-Republican-two-Democrat Senate Majority Coalition Caucus, with a 25-24 majority, decided to kill that package by refusing to consider it.
One item that died with the transportation bill killed by the majority coalition was language that would allow local transit authorities to levy taxes at current levels for their own operations. Without that language, many transit authorities, including King County's Metro, face cutting routes in 2014 because they cannot raise the money to keep those services.
Republicans opposed the package because of a hardcore stance against any new taxes, and because they opposed replacing the Interstate 5 bridge between Vancouver and Portland, which was part of the bill.
Later in the summer, the majority coalition unveiled its own proposed transportation package that calls for raising $800 million with budget shifts, little in the way of new construction, and several administrative reforms. Any discussion of raising gas taxes might wait until 2015 or 2016 under the majority coalition's approach.
Gov. Jay Inslee wants to call a special legislative session in November to pass a transportation projects-and-revenue package. The majority coalition set up the listening tour — with legislators from both parties attending — to prepare for the upcoming transportation talks. Senate Transportation Committee co-chairpersons Sens. Curtis King, R-Yakima, and Tracey Eide, D-Federal Way, attended all sessions. Majority Coalition Caucus Leader Rodney Tom, D-Medina, attended three of the first four. Many other legislators attended sessions in or near their own districts.
In the hearings, people in Bellevue, Everett, Wenatchee and Yakima strongly supported a November legislative session. "Time is of the essence. Our economy depends on it," said Ron Olson, a resident of Snohomish County. At least 725 people attended the first four sessions with 238 speaking to the senators and representatives.
In broad strokes, the feedback so far showed:
- Almost everyone in the crowds wants a transportation package as soon as possible for two overriding reasons.
The first is that numerous cities, counties, business interests and ordinary people wanting better highways and bridges. Most focused on individual projects that would help their own communities.
Speakers said that I-405 is always clogged. Interstate 90 in Snoqualmie Pass, handling 8,000 semi trucks a day, needs upgrades to continue. Benton City needs a roundabout. Yakima has traffic flow problems. Eastern Washingtonians want to finish widening of the semi-clogged State Route 12 between Pasco and Walla Walla to four lanes. State Route 167 needs to be extended to the Port of Tacoma to improve the flow of exported goods and crops out of Washington to the world. Eastside residents want a State Route 520 better suited to deal with their rapidly growing communities.

" At least 725 people attended the first four sessions with 238 speaking to the senators and representatives."
LOL What a joke. The population of WA state is almost 7,000,000, and 238 people spoke at four meetings? What do those 238 speakers have to do with anything?
These sessions were the typical dog and pony shows, where people with some personal stake in higher spending, and nothing better to do with their time, voice their opinions. Those 238 people were speaking for nobody except themselves. So, a few state senators heard a couple hundred people out of a state population of almost 7 million. What is the significance of that?
Eyman is exactly right -- special interest groups always dominate this type of public "sessions." They don't mean anything.
Posted Mon, Sep 30, 2:17 a.m.
I agree, a relatively small group of people speaking at public hearings are hardly representative of the opinions of the 7 million people in Washington State.
Infrequent elections are not a good way to test public opinion either.
I'd like to see more participatory budgeting at the grassroots level where people get together in small groups to decide how their tax dollars should be spent in their local communities. Many people feel disconnected from their government because the methods we have available to us to communicate with our representatives is so limited.
Posted Tue, Oct 1, 2:54 p.m.
I want nothing to do with public hearings because they do not work. I want nothing to do with grassroots level small groups because they are filled with people with time on their hands.
Online frequent polling in a registered voter format that when the majority speaks, the decision the elected person is required to make is based on that majority voice.
I also want online compliments/complaints for all taxpayer funded services and employees. When complaints reach a certain specific number, an automatic Audit happens. When compliments reach a certain specific number, an automatic bonus happens, either for the division or the individual, depending on the nature of the compliment.
Posted Mon, Sep 30, 7:17 a.m.
What I heard at these sessions was opposite of what I hear "on the street".
Those speaking were majorly those with a "dog in the hunt".
Eyman is right, "normal people are not here tonight" they were at home after a brutal commute, spending time with their families.
Only industry insiders were there, save for Timmy and I.
The Geezer has spaketh

Always true. Clearly, normal people need to band together, and we need to pay our own messengers to attend, to firmly spaketh more cogently than the special interest groups.

You all sound like cowards, frightened by Democracy. What part of WE, THE PEOPLE don't you understand? Cretainly no elected is going to base a vote, or tax policy, on one set of Hearings.
But you have an obligation to at least ASK. There is never harm in listening. You look at polling. You read your mail, both snail and e-mail. You review your phone calls. You look at election results. You do consider Tim and his point of view. But you don't stop there.
Lyndon Johnson always said he wanted to see all the letters written in pencil on unlined paper.

I hate this whining. Pick an issue or two and get engaged to make something better. No, this doesn't mean sending out some rant of an email every once in a while. Educate yourself on the issue, talk to your neighbors, go to public meetings and speak your opinion. Stop by your state or federal representative's office and ask questions and let them know your preference. The responsibility of democracy doesn't start and stop at each two or four year election.
What I typically find is that those that complain the most are at home watching some stupid TV show every evening when a comparable amount of time could be spent on civic engagement. Yea, yea. Everyone is busy. I took my kid to meetings and introduced her to the idea of civic engagement early. It can be done. Imagine if folks really participated.
Posted Mon, Sep 30, 10:10 a.m.
Well, aren't you special.
If all 7 million residents of WA state went to these ludicrous sessions and were allowed to speak, just how long do you think those sessions would have had to last? At 2 minutes per speaker, 24 hours per day, it would take 15 years for 7 million people to speak. You want to wait 15 years to give everyone a chance to speak in person at one of these dog and pony shows?
This is just flat-out stupid. Only a insignificantly tiny number of people are allowed to speak at these sessions, due to time constraints. So, who gets to speak? People with a lot of time on their hands and a vested interest in the topic. That is not a representative cross-section of the public, or of voters.
If you really want the public to decide some issue, then put it to a public vote, and let EVERYONE have a voice.
Allowing just a few, self-selected people to speak at a few hearings is nothing but a farce. Those sessions were a complete waste of time.
Posted Mon, Sep 30, 10:55 a.m.
It's not just speaking at pre-arranged events. How about this - like I said - research and then go down and speak to your representative or their staff. I make it a point to go visit my fed and state representatives staff at least twice a year. I get to D.C. for work and have arranged to meet a senator/congressman-woman/ or their staff on several occassions.
I'm just a lowly middle class worker - I don't even give to any political organizations (prefer what I can affort to go to charities) so if I can check in, so can you. And I don't buy the "it's only for folks with time on their hands" crap. Part of the responsibilty of being an engaged citizen is learning about the issues and then expressing your voice in a constructive matter on the items that matter to you.
What we have now is the government we deserve. Don't like it? Get off your butt and do something about it. Oh - I can't tonight because I'm planning to watch Dancing with the ex-movie Stars or some-such trash. No whining then.

One other item. We vote in representatives to - you guessed it - represent us. I don't want to vote on every frigin' thing that needs to be decided in Olympia - it's inefficient, wastes time, and costs money. It's call representative democracy for a reason.

So much for Inslee's no-tax pledge. That was a lie from the get-go. Funny how the "progressives" think no one will remember.
Posted Mon, Sep 30, 2:44 p.m.
One item that died with the transportation bill killed by the majority coalition was language that would allow local transit authorities to levy taxes at current levels for their own operations.
That dog's breakfast of a transpo bill would have granted FAR more general taxing authority to King County to impose car tab taxes than "current levels".
Without that language, many transit authorities, including King County's Metro, face cutting routes in 2014 because they cannot raise the money to keep those services.
Nonsense. First, some service hours can be cut with minimal impact. For example, routes could be changed so that several hundred people living out by North Bend and on the Issaquah plateau would need to make a single transfer, as opposed to getting a direct ride. Cutting little-used routes should be done. Moreover, way too much is spent on Metro's "dial for transit" program – far more than the peers spend. Employers should pay for the vanpools, instead of individuals and families via sales taxes. Metro's policy decision to divert a full 25% of sales tax revenue to a capital budget where it is used to buy bonds because there is not that much need for capital spending needs to stop – the peers don't do that and that money should be used for operations.
The MTA in greater NYC gets over half of its operating revenue from tolls and fares. Metro only gets 23% of its operating revenue from fares. Why does the county do so poorly on that score? Let's get an answer to that first, before discussing raising general taxes.
Pierce Transit cut some routes two years ago and Sound Transit picked up the slack by adding those routes back in. Metro should cut eastside routes, and Sound Transit could use its big eastside subarea surplus to add more bus routes. It used surplus from the east subarea for the R8A work, and building light rail on the eastside is years delayed (and may never happen). There are large surpluses in that subarea that could be used for bus service indefinitely.
Those all are reasonable steps the transit planners at the county could take without hiking regressive taxes.
There is far more general taxing for transit here than in any peer region. There simply is no need for more. Anyone heard any of the government heads explain why they might need more taxing powers in light of how taxes for transit are significantly heavier here than elsewhere? Of course not . . . they just whine about needing more taxing powers from the state legislature.
I'll confess, I did not go to any of these "listening tour" sessions. Did any of the government heads or union heads recommend any general taxes other than regressive ones like sales taxes and car tab taxes? Probably not . . . that kind of talk is heretical around here.
Finally, everyone saying "let the voters decide" is a tax advocate (no matter what kind of rhetoric they wrap around that exhortation). Anyone truly opposed to additional transit taxes has a very different message: "Hey state legislators, don't delegate any further taxing authority to any Puget Sound–area taxing districts for transit. They are imposing far more tax targeting individuals and families than any of their peers already." Pretty sure nobody with that latter set of views was allowed to take the podiums at these gatherings . . ..
Posted Mon, Sep 30, 10:08 p.m.
This isn't a "listening tour." By the time they put on this kind of dog and pony show, the fix is long since in. This is WA State, and you can rest assured that the "fix" will soak car drivers to pay for bus and rail, and will let parasite bicycles off scot free.

It's quite stunning actually - how you consistently attempt to weave in this rant no matter what the subject at hand.

The subject is transportation. Only a Seattle "progressive" would want to censor discussion of cars and taxes from such a discussion. You people absolutely hate any free discussion of anything, much less being opposed. Pay close attention to the November election, when we toss your "progressive" mayor onto the garbage heap where he belongs.

Another jewel here from John Stang:
Republicans opposed the package because of a hardcore stance against any new taxes
Obviously democrats can't hike regressive taxes enough in the name of buses and trains – that's what Constantine, Nickels, and Phillips based their careers on. It's why we have the most regressive state/local taxing regime in the country. In this piece though John Stang falsely posits that republicans are anti-tax. Not even close. Republicans around here are avowedly pro-taxing, if it is regressive taxing. For example, both Curtis King (R- Senate Transportation Committee co-chair) and Rodney Tom (nominally R) want to hike sales taxes more for transit:
All the government heads around here want even more taxing targeting the communities with the least means, the middle class and lower-middle class families and individuals (particularly the households with kids – the approach of the local government heads is to subject those households in particular to more and more financial pressure via their tax confiscation policies).
What's the consensus – is John Stang oblivious or just writing what the party leaders and ATU Local #587 want?
Posted Tue, Oct 1, 9:28 a.m.
A "hardcore stance against any new taxes." That's a good one, given that Inslee promised to oppose any new taxes. Ah, but I guess Stang and the other "progressives" knew he was lying. Such is the "progressive" hivemind in operation.
Posted Tue, Oct 1, 8:42 a.m.
This is a bit disingenuous. ONE of the reasons we have a regressive tax system in this state is because voters have repealed taxes and put a stranglehold on anything but user-fee type taxes. Then complain when the only avenue to support services is used.
Posted Tue, Oct 1, 9:29 a.m.
Tell your lying "progressive" governor that he was elected on a "no new taxes" promise, and that the voters are going to remember it.
Posted Tue, Oct 1, 2:50 p.m.
These public hearing are a waste of time, and a joke. Costly too.
Voting for people is also a waste of time, and a joke, because so far, I cannot name one elected person interested in doing the actual WILL of the people. Heads of Transportation State Departments are not elected, and voters endure a heavy burden and heavy, heavy expense when they make serious engineering mistakes, and no one gets fired.
We the people, by the people. We are not being listened to, even when we participate. Voters need to seriously get angry, and pay better attention.
Posted Tue, Oct 1, 3:37 p.m.
I would agree about the consequences of making a big mistake - such as the design/construction of the 520 pontoons - but didn't they fire the WSDOT engineer in charge?
But it's just not sensible to elect every administrative position in a government - nor should it be. We have pretty much ham-strung long term planning and transportation infrastructure maintenance in WA by consistently voting down transportation related taxes. What exactly are "voters" saying, besides "don't tax me for anything" that representatives are not hearing? Huh?
Posted Tue, Oct 1, 3:40 p.m.
"The state's chief bridge engineer has been fired, and one other Department of Transportation employee demoted, in the wake of design flaws that caused cracks in the first batch of new Highway 520 bridge pontoons.

This report failed to note that support for transit was far and away the number 1 topic among both officials and individuals at the Bellevue hearing, which was standing room only. It was so crowded that less than half those who signed up to speak were allowed to speak.
But I think that the transit supporters were being overly polite: In private more and more people are getting angry and asking why should our bus service be held hostage to anti-tax demagogues like Tim Eyman? If this is not resolved very soon, King County should finance its transit and road needs via a Transportation Benefit District, then simply vote down any future state transportation package dominated by pork barrel projects elsewhere.
Posted Fri, Oct 4, 7:20 a.m.
Tax the poor more, huh? Nobody else in the country does it nearly as much as the democrats here, and they want more of the same.
Let me guess, Dick -- you want higher sales taxes and higher car tab taxes here, right? Those are what the democratic party leaders here thrive on. They can't hike those taxes high enough fast enough. Which additional tax on the poor for buses do you like the most? Both of those, right?
Cue the trolls -- 3, 2, 1 ...
Posted Fri, Oct 4, 8:36 a.m.
Correct that this is a likely avenue. But - the voters have spoken more than once on Eyman and his corporate sponsor's packages - and they don't want anything else but user fees. So ok then. I suppose free services is always an option, but not a viable one.
Posted Fri, Oct 4, 9:22 a.m.
This "Dick Burkhart" reeks of democratic party.
We have the most regressive state and local tax structure in the country. A big part of that is the incessant series of tax hikes that are made in the name of transit. NOBODY taxes as heavily, let alone as regressively, as the heads of the bus and train services providers here. The democratic party leaders made their careers doing that. Burkhart here is one of them, pushing legislators for more sales tax and car tab tax authority for no good reason.
Metro's high taxing targeting the middle class and poor dates from its first sales tax in 1972. Then Metro doubled its sales tax in 1980. Then the democrats around here really started going to town. Democrats controlling the county hiked its sales taxes again for Metro in 2000, and then again in 2006. In 2011 the democrats began collecting an additional car tab tax. That completely unaccountable municipality Sound Transit was designed and operated by democrats. It got big sales tax and car tab tax authority in 1992 from the democrats in the state legislature and the local democrats began imposing them with gusto. Now we pay 1.8% sales tax just for transit, plus car tab taxes, plus a property tax – far more regressive taxing and higher overall taxing compared with everywhere else in the country. The democrats pimped and then imposed all those regressive taxes, and their tools like Burkhart want more of the same.
Everyone gets this, right? There is FAR more taxing for transit that targets the middle class and lower-middle class around here than necessary, and those are entirely democratic party operatives' policies. It literally is all the democrats here want to do. They have a full range of revenue-raising options, including the reasonable methods the peers use, but all they do is target those with the least wealth the hardest. Obama wants to cut taxes to the middle class. Around here though the game involves providing corporate welfare by slamming the least well off with constant heavy doses of the most regressive taxes. They must like it, there is no reason otherwise for these practices to have developed as they did.
Elsewhere in the country the democrats are liberal; they try to level the playing field and work for social justice. Here the democrats want to increase the wealth gap between the rich and the poor by using their nasty taxation policies.

You've made you opinion clearly hear and in numerous other comments. But you haven't adressed the corner we're painted in (IMO) from the votes on taxes (thanks Timmy)that have left few options. No city relies on fares to cover costs of transit be it busses or rail.
NYC relies on real estate taxes to help Metro service, and now they are in trouble because of the great recession and drops in real estate values.
I agree with your assessment that we are rather regressive in WA with a number of tax structures - but right leaning tax iniatives has a lot to do with that - and the voters approved these. So options appear limited.
But - maybe you have a solution in mind?

The solution is for "progressives" to live within their means rather than kick and scream and blame "Timmy" for their failure.

Dick Burkhart is a classic, easy-to-spot democrat. He pushes for higher and higher regressive taxes, and he pops up in on-line comment threads but won't answer questions.
Hey Burkhart -- we've got the most regressive taxing structure in the country thanks to you democrats. How do you want to make it worse for young families, older people, underemployed individuals, etc. -- hike sales tax rates or car tab tax rates? That's all you democrats ever contemplate; you are driven to impose regressive taxes at sky-high levels.

Posted Sat, Oct 5, 8:11 a.m.
The "past voter initiatives" and the failure of that flawed income tax measure are red herrings. Neither of those things drove the democrats to embrace their "We are the Tax the Poor Party" dogma and slavishly adhere to it over the past three decades.
Democrats could change - absolutely nothing prevents them from implementing less extreme and more balanced financing schemes. Problem is, they are conditioned to behave only this way, the way a dog is conditioned by food rewards to repeat behaviors.
Posted Sat, Oct 5, 11:49 a.m.

That'll feel better won't it, Dick?
Does it also feel good to know the government heads all want exactly the same thing, always?
Posted Sat, Oct 5, 8:17 a.m.
Let's go Dick Burkhart -- you are a deep blue democrat. That means you want to tax the poor heavily for local governments. How do you want to make our taxing regime worse? It's already the most regressive in the country:
Posted Sun, Oct 6, 7:55 a.m.
Ok- clearly stated. Now for the hard part. What is your solution to the regressive tax system you hate so much?
Posted Sun, Oct 6, 8:31 a.m.
Transportation is more than just getting from one place to another. It also impacts where we live and how. I work in Seattle but can't afford to live there. I live on Whidbey Island but can't afford to work here.
So I commute 4 hours a day. I have great transportation during commute hours, but if I need to leave the island on the weekends or during non commute hours, I either must drive or spend closer to 3 hours on public transportation.
I didn't attend the hearing closest to me because there was no way to get home if I did attend. I thought letting registered voters have a say using the internet and to learn more about the issues online is a better way to go.
Posted Mon, Oct 7, 8:26 a.m.
Why would people want transportation solutions?
Because they sit for long periods of time in congestion?
So why not tell the legislators to stop rewarding illegal and legal immigration which is the dominant factor in what creates that congestion---too rapid population growth. The kind of growth pushed by the big money interests, especially the developers, who label the fact that Bellevue now is 40 percent foreign born as being "diversity."
But pursuing an assumed unlimited growth is now the life-blood of our thinking, and new bridges or new lanes may temporarily ameliorate congestion but never "solve" it.

Nicolas Sarkozy has told European leaders that their countries' economies are facing an "unprecedented crisis", in remarks he made after talks with Spain's prime minister, Mariano Rajoy.
The French president, addressing a joint news conference in the Spanish capital, Madrid, on Monday, said the economic crisis will force European leaders to act and find a new path to growth.
"We are confronted by an unprecedented crisis that forces us to cut spending, lower our deficits but also to find the path to new growth by resolving our competitiveness problems," Sarkozy said.
His comments came just three days after a credit downgrade of France that revived fears over the financial stability of the eurozone.
Standard & Poor's, a New York-based ratings agency, cut the credit rating of nine debt-laden European countries on Friday, including depriving France of its top-notch AAA rating and lowering Spain by two notches to A from AA-.
However, the Moody's ratings agency has confirmed it is keeping France's AAA credit rating.
'Strength to act'
Sarkozy has been optimistic, saying on Sunday that the crisis would give France "the opportunity to make decisions quickly, because the situation demands it".
"Courage gives the strength to act. France is a big country," Sarkozy said during an address at a public ceremony in France prior to his visit to Spain.
"During its history France often went through hard times. France resisted during the three years of the crisis, and France will overcome this crisis and will come out of it stronger."
Al Jazeera's correspondents analyse the current economic climate in Europe
Al Jazeera's Jacky Rowland, reporting from Paris on Monday, said Sarkozy is in a very difficult position.
"It's an election year. Anything like cuts in public spending or increases in taxes are unpopular with voters," she said.
"Yet, nevertheless whoever does win the election in a few months time will - after that result - be forced one way or the other to introduce new tough measures."
However, Sarkozy said deficit-cutting measures could not alone resolve the eurozone crisis.
"We all have to understand that to get Europe out of the crisis we must, in addition to the indispensable deficit-reduction measures that we have already taken, give priority to growth, to employment and competitivity," he told Spain's conservative daily ABC in remarks made before arriving in Madrid.
"That message will resound in Spain, which posted an unemployment rate in the third quarter of 2011 of 21.5 per cent - the highest in the industrialised world.
Spain's government has announced 8.9bn euros ($1bn) in budget cuts, tax increases to bring in 6.28bn euros and an anti-tax fraud battle to recoup another 8.17bn euros to help balance the public finances.
Rajoy said on Saturday that Spain now had an "astronomical" figure of 5.4 million jobless.
Historical place
Al Jazeera's Jonah Hull, reporting from Madrid, said Rajoy is keen to preserve Spain's historical place at the heart of European decision-making.
"But preserving Spain's historical place will not in itself prevent what would be a historic collapse of Spain's economy," our correspondent said.
Live Box 201192615204954678
"It's in a dreadful mess - the fourth largest economy in the eurozone with the third largest budget deficit, its highest levels of unemployment and going now back into recession.
"[Rajoy's] given some indications of where he will make cuts, but he's got to find something like $55bn worth of cuts in this year alone."
Meanwhile in France, Valerie Pecresse, France's budget minister, said that a downgrade of her country's credit rating would not lead to a rise in the country's borrowing costs.
She said she did not expect "mechanical consequences" of the downgrade because France had "credibility" and was a "sure value".
The downgrades by Standard & Poor's were largely expected and traders said pressure on Italian and Spanish bond yields on Monday were offset by the European Central bank stepping in to buy the bonds.
Greek debt crisis
Uncertainty over fixing Greece's debt crisis is more of a threat to Europe's stability than the downgrades, George Osborne, the British finance minister, said on Monday.
Greece needs a deal with the private sector, the EU and the IMF to avoid going bankrupt when 14.5bn euros of bond redemptions fall due in late March, but talks with its creditor banks broke down without an agreement on Friday.
Lucas Papademos, the Greek prime minister, promised a debt swap would be clinched in time after he dispatched senior officials to Washington to break the deadlock in talks.
A leading representative for the creditors said Greece was not the problem in the talks, suggesting the issue lay with terms insisted on by foreign lenders keeping Greece afloat with aid.
Inspectors from the EU, the IMF and the European Central Bank, due in Athens on Tuesday for talks on a second, 130bn-euro bailout, have warned that they need the deal with the private sector to achieve that debt-reduction goal before they agree to give more aid.
Greece, in its fifth year of recession, has continuously missed its fiscal targets, prompting speculation that the country may need further financial support to put its debt on viable footing.

'Howl-O-Ween' Dog Costume Pageant Trots Into Silver Lake Sunday
The dog Halloween costume contest kicks off in Silver Lake Sunday.
The annual event, which draws pooches of all shapes and sizes dressed in their Halloween best, kicks off at the dog park at 3 p.m.

More than fifteen years, Rood's versatility as the singer, poet, composer en multi-instrumentalist has been characterized by his appearance as front man of Nighthawks at the Diner and the albums Fool's Tango, Walkin' On Eggs, Transit Cellophane, and Perfect Life. His songs are being described as "jazz in a tango-vehicle, trashcan blues, harrowing ballads and grubby vaudeville suites ". Melancholic yet raucous. Nightclub music. With Mindful Indifference, Rood's stories are being put out in the open field. They breath air, some with life-affirming joy, some full of loneliness. A delicate album, on which Rood's timing and feel, his gorgeous voice, the guest appearances and remarkable tributes all are being brought to daylight.
Why this title Mindful Indifference? Rood: "It's a kind of a wish. Wishing we all get to be a little bit more indifferent about a lot of things. I mean, we're trying so hard to fix everything in our present-tense culture, leveling and standardizing things. More and more we're inflating The Big Illusion of Control, again. I guess we just got to let go more often. In a careful deliberate manner. Mindful Indifference, there it is. Deflate the illusion of control over our lives, over nature, over other people. Maybe most of all, deflate the illusion of control over love. Celebrate imperfection more often. Take some time to play, learn, understand, and enjoy the ride. Freedom of mind only exists in places where the illusion of control has been dethroned, or better yet, has abdicated itself.'"
For his latest album, Rood picked up all instruments himself, letting go of his vast formation, and started experimenting recording his songs the old-fashioned way: single-mixed. Rood:
"It happened I came to work with what I now call 'the natural imperfection of the environment'. I started recording the first demos on weird locations, not fit for acoustic accuracy. But along the way, I got used to the sound of these 'imperfect' rooms. I figured, my ears don't bother whether the notes are being played in a controlled or in an out-of-control setting. My ears don't care whether this progression was a balanced decision or just coincidence. Who cares how this particular chord made it to the record? That's why I continued experimenting without sound-proof booths, overdubbing, click-tracks, noise reduction, and so on. Just sound-on-sound, using the same single mic. You hear the limitations in the master files, the background noise and the distortions, but it turned out to be what I wanted to hear. The album has become a Don Quichot-like quest for little rags of love, taking place in a rather utopian time. A time in which the throw of a kiss at the station is of more importance than a fist-fuck in a damp alley. A collective longing, I guess, but I'm not too sure."
Roderick 'Rood' Adeo ist der Kopf der über die Grenzen Hollands hinaus bekannten Formation 'Nighthawks at the Diner', nun hat er sich ein Solo-Projekt gegönnt, oft ist nur er mit Gesang, Gitarre, Percussion und präpariertem Bass zu hören, gelegentlich sind Gäste (Violine, Kontrabass) mit von der Partie. Die Aufnahme ist bewusst 'Anti-HiFidel' - keine technischen Mätzchen, kein akustischer Totraum. Bewusst wurden Nebengeräusche belassen. An vielen Stellen fühlt man sich an frühere Aufnahmen von Tom Waits erinnert. Intimes und berührendes Singer-Songwriter-Album.

House of 1000 Manga - Manga 2.5
Jason checks out Manga 2.5, a new service offering fully-voiced and kind-of-animated manga series including Detective Loki and Otogi Soushi.
The fourth issue of Kodansha's Nemesis magazine announced on Monday that Blade of the Immortal creator Hiroaki Samura is launching a new manga series called Beagerutā in the next issue on July 7. The first issue of the magazine published a preview of the magazine last July, but the series has not actually started yet.
The action story revolves around battles over money between three woman: a "passionate psychedelic revenger" named Nami, a "china dress-wearing killing machine" named Je-Mao, and a female gang leader named Shinobu Aza.

>(snip)> >(pssssst - one could simply say these adults < whom also happen to be >in scouts> are running that booth... ) > Remember a scout is trustworthy.
We teach our kids about th dangers of drugs of which alchohol is included from the time they earn their Bobcat in cub scouts. then to say it is ok because we are getting paid for it is the worst message we could send. What other things can we do to make money? Sell drugs? Its ok well get a lot of money:-(!
People keep saying it is part of life, but it is not part of the Boy Scout experience. Or I and my son is in the wrong program.
BTW my children will NOT try alchohol or pot cigarretts in my home if they try it they will be ashamed of trying it and for me to find out about it. From personal experience that is the best deterrant available.
I grew up in Cub Scouts and Boy Scouts and unless things have changed a boy scout could be couted on to stand for the best and most noble of Ideals.

Warren Central at Terre Haute North
Kickoff — 7 p.m.
Airwaves — No broadcasts are scheduled
The action — Warren Central's Warriors (3-2, 2-1 Metropolitan Interscholastic Conference) travel to meet Terre Haute North's Patriots (2-3, 1-2) in a conference game. The Warriors, ranked seventh in the state, have lost only to Class 4A power Indianapolis Cathedral (14-7) and second-ranked Ben Davis (6-3) and are coming off a 28-14 win over Indianapolis North Central. The Patriots have lost their last two conference games, 17-15 to sixth-ranked Center Grove and 30-7 to Ben Davis, although they outgained both those teams.
Last meeting — Warren Central won 50-19 last season.
Last time North beat Warren Central — The Patriots haven't won against the Warriors since joining the MIC in 1998.
Coaches — Steve Tutsie is 26-6 in his third season as head coach at Warren Central; it's his second stint as head coach, and he was an assistant there in the interim. Chris Barrett is 40-73 in his 11th season at North and 68-105 overall.
Outlook — Year in and year out the Warriors are probably the fastest team in the state and this season is no different. Although the 2012 Warriors haven't scored as many points as some of their predecessors, they don't give up many either — not more than 14 in any game this season — and if they are like most Warren Central teams, they cover kickoffs as well as any high school team in the country. North's strength is its ball-control offense, but drives are hard to sustain against a team capable of making as many big defensive plays as the Warriors are.
Injuries, lineup changes — There was no word from Warren Central about injuries; their best player is probably 6-foot-1, 235-pound linebacker Tim Kimbrough, a Georgia recruit. North gets offensive guard Bryce Woodason back, so the Patriots are as healthy as a team can be at this point in the season.
Words from Barrett — "We did not execute [at Ben Davis] and we had the same red-zone woes as we had against Center Grove — a holding penalty, a missed field goal — but still we were in the game until the last four or five minutes of the second quarter. We had one good fourth-quarter drive against their No. 1 defense, and the defense played well the entire game; we just gave [the defense] too many short fields and we kept them out there too long.
"[Tonight] should be a good game. [The Warriors] are as athletic as always. Our defense has to be ready but more than anything our offense has to finish drives, score points and move the chains."
— By Andy Amey
Ben Davis at Terre Haute South
Kickoff — 7 p.m.
Airwaves — None planned in the Wabash Valley.
Records — The Terre Haute South Braves (2-3 overall, 0-3 MIC) will play host to the Class 5A No. 2-ranked Ben Davis Giants (5-0, 3-0) for a Metropolitan Interscholastic Conference matchup.
Last meeting — In September 2011, South lost at Ben Davis 63-17.
Last time South beat Ben Davis — It is believed that South has never defeated Ben Davis.
Coaches — Mike Kirschner is 43-20 in sixth year at Ben Davis and 57-46 in his 10th year overall, while Mark Raetz is 14-41 in his sixth season at South.
Outlook — So far, Ben Davis has posted the following victories: 24-21 at home against Indianapolis Cathedral, 24-0 at Pike, 19-6 at home against Indianapolis North Central, 6-3 at Warren Central and 30-7 at home against Terre Haute North.
Meanwhile, South has won at Indian Creek 34-24, lost to Terre Haute North 27-10 at Memorial Stadium, won at Vincennes Lincoln 34-0, lost at Carmel 38-0 and lost at Center Grove 55-28.
Injuries, lineups — For Ben Davis, all current regulars appear reasonably healthy. For South, senior center Zac Harper (torn ACL) and senior wide receiver Logan Steward (torn ACL) are out for the season.
Coaches' comments — Kirschner on his squad: "We've got to improve. I felt like we had some letdowns against [Terre Haute] North mentally. We started slow. We had two penalties before we had our first offensive snap. We're so young. We only had one senior playing last Friday night. We've got to start faster if we're going to be successful."
Kirschner on playing the Braves: "We're real concerned about their quarterback, Danny Etling. We think he's a special quarterback and we're concerned about their receiver Seibert too… On offense, we're concerned about their physicality up front."
Raetz on his squad: "The last couple weeks, we've played two of the better teams in the state. Against Carmel [two weeks ago], I thought we played well defensively for the most part but struggled offensively. Last week against Center Grove, I thought we played well offensively but struggled defensively. So we're looking to put together a solid game in all phases this Friday."
Raetz on playing the Giants: "A lot of speed, a lot of depth, a lot of talent. We'd have to play an outstanding game to give ourselves a chance against them."

Edgewood at
West Vigo
Kickoff — 7 p.m.
Airwaves — None planned in the Wabash Valley.
Records — The West Vigo Vikings (3-2, 2-0 Western Indiana Conference) take on the Edgewood Mustangs (0-5, 0-3 WIC) looking to keep pace with conference co-leader Sullivan.
Last meeting — In 2011, Edgewood won 37-7 at home.
Last time West Vigo beat Edgewood — In 2010, West Vigo defeated Edgewood 35-14.
Coaches — Jeff Cobb is 39-39 in his eighth year at West Vigo. Jerry Bland is 32-28 in his sixth year at Edgewood.
Outlook — West Vigo looks to stay atop the Western Indiana Conference standings if the Vikings can win a homecoming battle with Edgewood.
The Vikings will hope to continue to run the ball as well as they have recently.
Danny Creasey piled up 166 of the Vikings' 356 yards last week but Skyler Warnock, Jacob Creasey, Dakota Short and quarterback Jimmy Maples also had some impressive gains.
West Vigo already has conference road wins over Brown County and South Vermillion, a 41-21 decision last Friday.
Injuries, lineups — Senior offensive lineman/linebacker Ethan Boatman (broken leg) is out. Lineman Patrick McVey (knee) is out for the season. Junior outside linebacker Sam Bowden (concussion) returns to the lineup. Jacob Creasey left the south Vermillion game last Friday but is back in the lineup tonight.
Coaches' comments — Cobb on his team:"We've been running the ball well. The offensive line has done an outstanding job of opening up some holes and giving the running backs time to run. Jacob Creasey is always a threat on the outside. Danny runs more up the middle. They kind of complement each other well."
"We're getting into the final four, a four-game stretch of formidable conference foes. We need to control the ball and limit turnovers, which we didn't do last week. We lost three fumbles."
Cobb on the Mustangs: "They're one of the best 0-5 teams I've seen in a while. They've lost several close games because of their youth and inexperience. They're going to give us their best effort. They're a very good team. They're going to run a spread option attack and it's kind of like a zone read. We have to be disciplined on defense and make sure we know our alignment and assignments."

West Vigo boys rally to pull out season-opening OT victory
A season-opening high school boys basketball game at West Vigo on Wednesday night was as much about when the players did things as it was what they did.

Although West Vigo was never ahead in the last 28 minutes of regulation time, the Vikings got a game-tying 3-pointer from Alec Blair with 6.3 seconds left and pulled out a 47-46 victory on Braiden Cardinal's driving layup with 10 seconds left in overtime. -

They mean basically the same thing.
The Bible says "In the beginning, God created ...."
Scientists says "At the beginning of time ..."
There are places where one is more appropriate than the other:
At the beginning of the race ...
At the beginning of the movie ... (means very near the start)
In the beginning of the movie ... (could mean say, the first third).
You'll pick up the correct usages as you learn. There's no rule.

I looked on the previous shoot for a long period of time yesterday and
decided to shoot the same glass of lemonade again with a little fixes:
- I placed a lobule of lime on the top of the glass
- put a half of lime near in front near the glass
- added a little more sugar sirup ;)
Now I'm satisfied, it looks well and tasted very well )
