Kendal Calling has the Scream of the crop
Last updated at 16:31, Friday, 01 March 2013
THE headliners have been announced for Kendal Calling - Cumbria's biggest music festival - and tickets have gone on sale.
Kendal Calling has unveiled its first crop of artists to perform at the eighth edition of this multi-award-winning Lake District festival.
Topping the bill for the Friday of the three-day event – which runs from July 26 to 28 – are the UK's ultimate party band Basement Jaxx. The dance act don't hide behind a screen of visuals, they put on and epic and extravagant performance that is more carnival than live show and showcases their mix of latin, hip hop and dancehall infused house music to devastating effect on tracks like Where's Your Head At?, Red Alert, and Rendez Vu.
Saturday sees a return to Kendal Calling for The Charlatans, this time as a full band following appearances from frontman Tim Burgess in recent years.
Closing the whole event on the Sunday night are arguably one of the greatest rock 'n' roll bands of the past 30 years, Primal Scream. Bobby Gillespie and the boys are set to bring their rock' n' roll swagger to the Lakes for the first time, and their new album, More Light, is released in May, so the Kendal crowd is in for a treat of old classics and new numbers.
The festival is about much more than just the headliners and its hugely eclectic line-ups have drawn much critical acclaim from festival goers, artists and media alike.
I Am Kloot will deliver their deceptively understated songs with twisted, witty lyrics, Fake Blood, aka DJ Touche, is an enormous presence on the house and electro scene and his set will have the Kendal Calling crowd dancing long into the night.
Britpop veterans The Lightning Seeds have an acoustic slot to look forward to, Northern Irish stalwarts Ash make a welcome return after their epic headline slot back in 2009, and the festival also welcomes back Lake District favourites British Sea Power, who played the first ever Kendal Calling.
The Dub Pistols' bass-shuddering dub and big beat will be in full effect with a live performance and DJ set and national treasure Mr Scruff will bring his eclectic show to the table.
Hip-hop and dubstep comes courtesy of Foreign Beggars and drum & bass overlord Roni Size will keep the crowd jumping, while best dressed man in music, Willy Moon, brings the music of Bo Diddley and Buddy Holly kicking and screaming into the present.
Other confirmations so far include: Dutch Uncles, Jackmaster, Wave Machines, Tricka Technology (Krafty Kuts V's A.Skillz), Bondax, Oneman, Theme Park, Monsta, Slamboree, Artwork, The 1975, Dynamite MC, Loadstar, Grooverider, Dismantle, Walter Ego, Sons & Lovers, Chunky, Tonn Piper, The Mispears and Flight of Arrows.
Tickets can be booked via www.kendalcalling.com/tickets

Have your say
Coldplay is music for bed-wetters. I you want to go to a festival where the highlights are bands that have sold millions of copies of records go to a kiddies festival like V and see Rhiyanna and GaGa and all the rest of the chart dross. Well done Kendal Calling, decent line-up. Primal Scream are absolute legends and produced in Screamadelica arguably the best album of the 90's.
@andy Green Day 70 million records sold & 5 Grammys...Coldplay 60 million records sold.....and your point exactly !?

I'm trying to get a 3.2Ghz out of my Q6600 and cheap RAM. So far I'm at 3.0ghz and 850Mhz DDR. Bumped up the CoreV about 3 levels from stock. I am at 50C max temp under 100% load for 10 minutes. 1. At what max temp should I stop ? 2. Can my CEON uncooled DDR go 900Mhz with + 0.2v safely ? (In most cases?) Thanks !
I am an AMD guy, thus you have to based on others opinions. Generally speaking Intel CPUs (air cooled) do not encounter problems running (100% load) with temperatures up to 60 Celsius. Do not worry +0.2 Volts for RAM voltage is not dangerous. Nevertheless, any overclocker should add some extra fans in case to improve air flow. Hope I help
Excellent. MAN, I love AMD... Call me an idiot but these CPU's have SOUL ! My next rig will be AMD for sure. I am at 3Ghz, stock voltage, 850Mhz DDR. 56C 100% Temp. I guess it's good enough until I upgrade Sean Connery rules.
you need to know the stepping, download cpu-z and it will tell you as for your ram you need to carefully test it.
Thanks Fif23. To go further my PC is 4 years old. The CPU default speed is 2300 MHz and it runs at 2600 (default Vcore). But I am near 40 years old, thus no time for playing anymore. As KainXS posted above, have you tested system's stability? Τhere are many programs to do this (e.g. Prime95, OCCT etc).... If you run MemTest you should run it 6 hours.
It's a G0 locked multi "B" stepping. Is it recommended to turn off that auto clock manager in BIOS ? The one that sets the Clock speed at like 1700Mhz on idle .... and ramps it up at games. Does this hinder OC ? Right now it's fixed at 3.0Ghz at all times. I put 5 windows of Toast for 20 minutes and it was fine but I will do more extensive testing tonight
Fif23 Toast is not a stability tester. It is for CPU burn - in process which is something different. Have you ever run Prime95 or OCCT?
Occt running. let see ! Thanks ! I will not let it go over 70. What should I do with the Auto clock manager in the MOBO ? Off or On ?
Fif23 in most cases you should set the values manually. That is why do not let AUTO values in any field in BIOS. Sorry for my ignorance but I remember (almost 8 years ago) the throttling issue. Thus our friend should download a throttling monitor? Fif check my sticky here it has many useful links. If you find any broken link please post it there. Good night from Athens, time to rest
Hi, may I ask what VID your Q6600 has? A low VID indicates (more or less) that it can achieve high overclocks with relatively low voltage. I have here a Q6600 G0 with a VID of 1.2625V and I can overclock it to 3.2 GHz (8x400) with 1.250V and 3.4 GHz (9x378) with 1.3375V (rock stable!). You can find out what VID your Q6600 has with Realtemp or Coretemp.
HEY ! My VID is 1.21 ! Good stuff ? Thanks Sean ! It's all Manual except the timings of the RAM.. I figured with just a 50mhz boost it can be on Auto... OCCT Rock steady so far... close to 40 mins
Wow, a VID of 1.21V is great and should give you awesome OC, especially with an Intel X38 or X48 motherboard. What motherboard are you using?
Hmm.. ! I am using a Gigabyte X38-DS5. Should be a good motherboard ! But I have some really basic DDR-II 800Mhz without any heatsinks on them. 1X ADATA vitesta and 2 CEON sticks.
when i had my q6600 at 3.4ghz, i wouldn't let it run anymore than 68-70 celcius at full load for a long period of time(intense gaming) and it lived for a good 4-5 years at that before i gave it away and set it back to defaults. your temps are solid, solid enough to raise the oc if you can
70 degrees celcius is the hottest you should run that proc and 3.4ghz is right on target for that temp.

Tax Compliance:
Businesses Owe Billions in Federal Payroll Taxes
GAO-08-1034T, Jul 29, 2008
Additional Materials:
- Highlights Page:
- Accessible Text:
(202) 512-9521
Office of Public Affairs
(202) 512-4800
GAO previously reported that federal contractors abuse the tax system with little consequence. While performing those audits, GAO noted that much of the tax abuse involved contractors not remitting to the government payroll taxes that were withheld from salaries. As a result, GAO was asked to review the Internal Revenue Service's (IRS) processes and procedures to prevent and collect unpaid payroll taxes and determine (1) the magnitude of unpaid federal payroll tax debt, (2) the factors affecting IRS's ability to enforce compliance or pursue collections, and (3) whether some businesses with unpaid payroll taxes are engaged in abusive or potentially criminal activities with regard to the federal tax system. To address these objectives, GAO analyzed IRS's tax database, performed case study analyses of payroll tax offenders, and interviewed collection officials from IRS and several states.
IRS records show that, as of September 30, 2007, over 1.6 million businesses owed over $58 billion in unpaid federal payroll taxes, including interest and penalties. Some of these businesses took advantage of the existing tax enforcement and administration system to avoid fulfilling or paying federal tax obligations--thus abusing the federal tax system. Over a quarter of payroll taxes are owed by businesses with more than 3 years (12 tax quarters) of unpaid payroll taxes. Some of these business owners repeatedly accumulated tax debt from multiple businesses. For example, IRS found over 1,500 individuals to be responsible for non-payment of payroll taxes at three or more businesses, and 18 were responsible for not remitting payroll taxes for a dozen different businesses. Although IRS has powerful tools at its disposal to prevent the further accumulation of unpaid payroll taxes and to collect the taxes that are owed, IRS's current approach does not provide for their full, effective use. IRS's overall approach to collection focuses primarily on gaining voluntary compliance--even for egregious payroll tax offenders--a practice that can result in minimal or no actual collections for these offenders. Additionally, IRS has not always promptly filed liens against businesses to protect the government's interests and has not always taken timely action to hold responsible parties personally liable for unpaid payroll taxes. GAO selected 50 businesses with payroll tax debt as case studies and found extensive evidence of abuse and potential criminal activity in relation to the federal tax system. The business owners or officers in our case studies diverted payroll tax funds for their own benefit or to help fund business operations.

Name: The Forgotten Temple B2F
Introduced: September 2008
Entry Level Requirement: 125
Entrance Location: The Forgotten Ruin
Duration: 1 Hour
Bonus Quests: None
Title for completing: Secret Test Obstructor
Interesting Facts:
- The Forgotten Temple was believed to be impossible for many months, even for full parties.
- The dungeon was the first to feature the completion of an external quest chain (Hidden Helper) inside the dungeon.
- Forgotten Temple B2F was recently completed solo for the first time on EU. Which is quite impressive, considering.
Daily Quests
- Prewitt in Bloody Ice: 7 Million Exp for killing 10 Reddant
- Henkoff in Bloody Ice: 5 Guild Points for killing Leth Tyrant
Glory Plate Quest
- Glory Plate Level 9: Kill Leth Tyrant in exchange for 150,000 Honour Points
The Forgotten Temple B2F continues the exploration of the lost temple discovered in the Forgotten Temple B1F. However, in terms of sheer difficulty there is no comparison between the two. Until the introduction of Maquinas Outpost in 2011 FT2 reigned supreme as the ultimate challenge for any player.
Additionally the Leth Tyrant Ring is seen as the ultimate ring, and is rare, and very sought-after. Even rarer because you have to kill Leth Tyrant to get it...

About Sinan Unur
Are you assuming that only the FDA is capable of figuring out that something that is being marketed as an EKG device doesn't work as advertised?
And, no, snake oil should not be regulated either.
FDA bureaucrats care only about not accidentally approving something that might be harmful. That means too many things that are useful don't get approved. The loss from the second category of error is usually not visible. The media don't try to find each and every individual because the FDA did not allow something. Dallas Buyers' Club tells the story of one group who were harmed.
This is simple statistical reasoning.
Consumers who care will be served by people who provide that information. Nothing will result in drugs that never have any adverse effects. But, I put more value on people being able to access potentially life-saving treatments than a bureaucrat does. The potential beneficiaries of something he doesn't approve are not visible to him.
This strikes me as an example of the FDA earnestly doing its job.
Again, I am pointing out that licensing, certification etc act as barriers to entry, and therefore reduce competition. Just like I am recommending the removal of the FDA from the medical treatment and diagnosis market.
In any industry dominated by a cartel, quantity supplied is less than the quantity that would be supplied in a competitive market. Professional licenses are a way of enforcing cartel power.
The fact that malpractice lawsuits can be very lucrative indicates that doctors probably do make super-normal profits due to their cartel enforcing entry restrictions effectively. If they made zero economic profit as would be the case in a competitive market, they wouldn't be such a lucrative target for another cartel, the bar association.
Competition increases quantity supplied.
doctors are required to go through a fairly extensive certification process.
Many years ago, Peltzman (1973) wrote about the FDA:
This leaves a paradox: The amendments seem to have harmed their intended consumer beneficiaries. Unlike other regulation which restricts output, there is no partly offsetting transfer to producers. If their effect is then essentially a deadweight loss, one is tempted to question the amendments' political viability. However, there appears to be no imminent reduction in the political demand for either the amendments or for similarly structured consumer legislation. Clearly, the sources of this political demand require examination.
Relative risk is very misleading with observational data (rather than controlled, randomized trials). All the cautions are listed succinctly at numberwatch.co.uk/RR.htm. Most importantly, IMHO,
X and Y, while inherently unrelated, might be correlated through a third factor, or indeed many others
A national happiness index would be subject to the typical pressures and would soon become just another tool of limited usefulness, although it would provide fodder for comedians.
I started writing and it got too long for just a comment. So, I expanded on it on my blog.
But, basically, it is one thing to talk about the difficulties of reducing the value of all goods and services produced in the economy to a single number. I agree, GDP is an imperfect measure.
It is a whole other thing to convert the individual states of well-being of three hundred million or a billion people to a single number and base decisions on whether that single number goes up or down.
Such a quantification is the ultimate certification of the desire accept the destruction of the individual in service of the state.
It is a diabolical scheme.
Obviously, nothing could go wrong with that.
Having taught Intro Stats for a good many years, let me assure you that being good at algebra, or being able to solve a line integral are not sufficient to make heads or tails out of statistics. However, not having the capacity for some abstract reasoning required by algebra is an extreme impediment to actually understanding statistics.
Most people do not and cannot understand statistics. That includes almost everyone in academia as well, and I am pretty sure political scientists who can actually understand what a significance test means can be counted on the toes on a cat's paw. They cannot and will not come to grips with Stats because understanding it would lead to an honest evaluation of the importance of their work.
I am sorry, I just don't get the notion that one can somehow understand understand anything that requires quantitative and abstract reasoning without not being intimidated by simple mechanics. That doesn't mean never ever using a calculator. That means being able to do simple things like solving a single equation with a single unknown.
I recently wrote:
A primer on polls for those comfortable with a little algebra
I used to begin my lectures on probability in Intro Stats with the following slide:
Probability is a normalized denumerably additive measure defined over a sigma algebra of subsets of an abstract space.
If I remember correctly, that's a direct quotation from Kolmogorov, but I can't find the chapter and verse right now.
Following it was a flurry of note-taking activity despite the fact that my slides were available on the course web site (and apparently widely disseminated through a bunch of sites in complete violation of my copyrights). Why do people start writing stuff down if they don't understand it? Every time I put that slide up, I hoped someone would yell "Well, what on earth does that mean?" instead of writing it down, but I was regularly disappointed.
I had meant
We the people must recognize that market monopolies are temporary.

LEGAL NOTICE: This programme is now the subject of legal proceedings for defamation and malicious falsehood brought by Tesla Motors Ltd and Tesla Motors Inc against the BBC.
Actually, I would have liked you to encourage LV on their crusade and have them send a team of lawyers in person to try to shut down the conference. Now, that would have been entertaining.
All is not lost though ... You can still say you've seen the light and LV must send its armies to the conference.
Shopping for popcorn in eager anticipation.
Those of us old enough to remember the Napster non-sense are still baffled by how many billions of dollars the entertainment industry was willing to give up to be able to stick with their old business models.
When Napster first came on the scene, they could have moved ahead and co-opted it for mere pennies. They could have shut it down later if things did not work out. Of course, now we know things would have worked out and worked out very well indeed, for one simple reason: While the marginal cost of allowing one more person to download an MP3 is close to nothing, people are willing to pay at least a dollar for a genuine, high quality audio file.
Nooooo, it would have been heresy for a bunch of lawyers to settle for a win-win solution. No sir! We must win and customers must lose even though what we win is but a miniscule portion of the dough Apple made with iTunes. Coincidentally, the inventor of the intarwebs was available to lend a sympathetic ear, and the stupid DMCA was passed with one significant "loophole" that allowed more win-win solutions to be developed: Safe harbors.
Now, we are at a crossroads again. There is a win-win solution: The large content publishers with their stockpiles of cash can take chances on innovative startups and find new ways of making even more money. But, nah, the lawyer mentality balks at that. Someone must always lose. There can't be win-win.
Therefore, we get SOPA (which actually means "stick" in Turkish ;-)
Requirement of parental investment in offspring explains a lot (including the commitment mechanisms invented by those famous movie penguins), but I am not sure about menopause.
I did do a search about ostrich offspring and found this list of facts. Among them:
When a pair of ostriches bearing the young meets another pair, the parents will fight and the winning pair will be parents of both pairs' offspring. It has been reported that the biggest group of ostriches contains 300 offspring!
There's a longstanding myth about ostriches that, when frightened, they will bury their head in the sand and pretend the danger isn't there. This, of course, is ridiculous. Such horribly unadaptive behavior would have been bred out of the species by the evolutionary process (or by whichever God you believe in tweaking his code a bit) as hungry African predators would have delighted in seeing stationary feathery meals.
First off, thank you very much for picking this up.
I am not as concerned with police officers' actions as I am with the attitude of the members of the commission that they can freely restrict people's right to record and disseminate news.
The "disruptive behavior" criterion seems to be anything that bothers the commission chairperson. A commission that is working on restricting the supply of transportation services to citizens of a city whose work does not involve anything related to national security, or violation of anyone's privacy has no acceptable reason to restrict the information flow.
It seems to me that various public officials preferred the days when no one knew about the meetings which were announced on a dusty panel in the basement of the city sanitation services department, no one attended them and no one watched them on public access TV.
After all, there is a reason the Hitchhiker's Guide gets to hits this very early on:
There's no point in acting surprised about it. All the planning charts and demolition orders have been on display at your local planning department in Alpha Centauri for 50 of your Earth years, so you've had plenty of time to lodge any formal complaint and it�s far too late to start making a fuss about it now. � What do you mean you've never been to Alpha Centauri? Oh, for heaven's sake, mankind, it's only four light years away, you know. I'm sorry, but if you can't be bothered to take an interest in local affairs, that's your own lookout. Energize the demolition beams.
I don't understand why you would want to institute a fee for immigration. What is the advantage of that?

On one side of the long wooden table: Property Appraiser Lori Parrish and her hired gun, attorney Bill Scherer. On the other side, attorneys from Broward County government. At the head of the table: Circuit Judge Dale Ross.
The legal case? The fight over Parrish's budget.
Final arguments were made Thursday and Ross promised a quick decision in the Parrish vs. Broward County money fight.
You might recall, and if you don't, click here,that Parrish asked for more money this year than the county...
Fort Lauderdale Commissioner Dean Trantalis has found an interesting way to address new ethical allegations against him – bring up an old ethical allegation against him.
Trantalis used his December constituent newsletter to complain about the recent "ambush attack" staged against him by attorney William Scherer, whose charges forced Trantalis to recuse himself from voting on a controversial beach hotel project.
Trantalis doesn't write anything about the substance of the...
He was a Fort Lauderdale city commissioner in the 1980s. He served for a brief period as Sunrise's mayor. He helped lead Broward County government for 20 years on the dais. And John Rodstrom is deserving of being named this year's "distinguished citizen'' of Fort Lauderdale.
Says his wife.
Charlotte Rodstrom has alerted Fort Lauderdale commissioners that she intends to nominate her spouse for the annual city honor.
John Rodstrom retired from politics when the term limits he unsuccessfully fought...Charlie Crist put down his first marker. And Rick Scott made official what everybody already knew.
Crist, the former Republican governor who is trying to win back his old job as a Democrat, announced Tuesday that he had raised about $3 million in November after formally entering the 2014 gubernatorial race. Meanwhile, Scott opened a campaign account to seek re-election — a long-anticipated move that cemented his candidacy and provided another avenue to rake in millions of dollars.
The labor union representing the workers who clean Fort Lauderdale-Hollywood International Airport say the county's Living Wage law isn't keeping pace with the price of health insurance. The union is worried employees will be unable to afford insurance.

It's official now. Christopher Warnig, the young candidate with a colorful background, said he has filed to run for Wilton Manors City Commission.
By 'colorful,' I'm referring to allegations by law enforcement that he was unlawfully posing as one of them. Click here for my previous coverage of this.
Ironically, Warnig's eagerness to become a law enforcement officer led to his inability to become one at the moment, because of the pending legal case.
He has turned his ambitions to politics.He was...
[UPDATED with second legal opinion]
Two Broward County mayors can fly to Saudi Arabia and have their expenses paid by the Royal Embassy without violating Broward's strict no-gifts ban, attorneys ruled.
And if they want to bring a spouse along, all expenses paid, that is OK, too, according to one city legal opinion.
My colleague wrote last week about the trip. Click here to read her story about Miramar Mayor Lori Moseley and Hallandale Beach Mayor Joy Cooper.

And then there were two.
Chris Warnig, a candidate for Broward County Commission in the race for Chip LaMarca's seat, is withdrawing from the District 4 contest.
Warnig, a Democrat, is setting his sights on a local race instead. He'll run for Wilton Manors City Commission, he said.
"After discussing it with my advisors,'' he told the Sun Sentinel, "I found it to be more beneficial and a better learning opportunity to run for City Commission. We need to clean up the mess in our own back yard...
Former Republican state Sen. Ellyn Bogdanoff of Fort Lauderdale is executive director of the Florida Association for Child Care Management, an association of private early learning providers with 1,200 members. She has held the post since 2012.
Bogdanoff was first elected to the Florida House in 2004, representing parts of Broward and Palm Beach counties. She served there until 2010, including a stint as majority whip. In 2010, when Jeff Atwater ran for chief financial officer, Bogdanoff ran for...
It was scheduled for Friday afternoon at the County Governmental Center.

A judge threw out a suspended Margate commissioner's bribery conviction Thursday, saying there wasn't enough evidence presented at trial to have found him guilty of a federal crime.
David McLean could return to his commission seat, which isn't up for election until 2016.
McLean's lawyer said it's the next step: "I'm going to be on the phone with the governor [Friday]; he's been acquitted," said McLean's defense attorney, C. Edward McGee Jr. The governor, who had suspended McLean from office, has...

Black political leaders from South Florida, along with many others, are speaking out about Thursday's death of South African statesman Nelson Mandela.
Two of the most prominent black political leaders are U.S. Rep. Alcee Hastings, D-Miramar, and Florida Senate Democratic Leader Chris Smith, D-Fort Lauderdale.
From Hastings:

Guess who's going to Saudi Arabia?
Hallandale Beach Mayor Joy Cooper and Miramar Mayor Lori Moseley are among seven U.S. mayors leaving Friday for a weeklong economic and cultural mission to Riyadh.
The trip is at the invitation and expense of the Royal Embassy of Saudi Arabia.
"Getting to know people really breaks down the barriers," says Cooper, who plans to keep a daily journal.
Talks will focus on promoting investment between Saudi Arabia and U.S. cities but will also touch on women's...
The controversy stems from a special election next year when Pinellas County residents will vote in a nationally watched contest to fill the vacancy left by the death of U.S. Rep. C.W. "Bill" Young.
Last week, Scott's top elections official, Ken Detzner, moved to restrict the...
Even as Gov. Rick Scott's top elections official suddenly backed away from a plan to restrict the way voters can return completed absentee ballots, Florida's top Democrat accused the Scott administration of attempting to suppress voter turnout.
"It's patently obvious. It's an attempt to suppress the vote by people who otherwise might have difficulty getting to the polls on Election Day," said U.S. Sen. Bill Nelson, D-Fla., at a news conference Wednesday at the Palm Beach CountyElections Office...
As governor candidate Charlie Crist's most visible Palm Beach County cheerleader looked on, U.S. Sen Bill Nelson on Wednesday attempted to dampen speculation – that he's fueled himself – that Nelson would jump into the 2014 race for governor.
"I have no plans to run for governor. I have no intention of running for governor," Nelson told reporters after an appearance at the Palm Beach County Supervisor of Elections Office.

It was more cheeky than usual, as vice mayor selections go.
Two commissioners nominated themselves and one nominated Mickey Mouse at Hollywood City Hall on Wednesday.
Commissioner Patty Asseff, noting she is the incoming president of the Broward League of Cities, said she'd like to be vice mayor.
"Commissioner Asseff nominated herself," said Mayor Peter Bober, who was a commissioner before being elected mayor. "That's okay, I've done the same thing."

West Park City Commissioner Felicia Brunson could serve on the Broward County School Board without violating conflict of interest laws, a draft decision by the state Commission on Ethics says.

LAZY LAKE – Joseph Fodera and John Boisseau offered a litany of complaints Tuesday about the high cost and bureaucratic requirements of government regulation.
The twist: it was one government complaining about what another government is doing to it.
The complainers came to the Broward County Commission representing the Lazy Lake Village Council. Fodera and Boisseau objected to the rules they're now subject to under the countywide ethics law for local government officials.
Broward County commissioners decided Tuesday to ban smoking in all county parks. But it may not be worth the paint on the "no smoking" signs, since the county may not have the legal authority to enforce such a ban.
It'll be no more than a suggestion, said Andrew Cuddihy, program director for the American Lung Association region that covers Vero Beach to Key West. "They can pass an ordinance, but it's going to be a request."
Still, he urged commissioners to go...

With state Rep. Joe Gibbons, D-Hallandale Beach, facing term limits next year, the race to succeed him continues to get more crowded.
Surfside Republican Martin Alan Feigenbaum filed papers Monday to run in House District 100, joining four Democrats and one Libertarian.

Celebrity website TMZ is "reporting" that U.S. Rep. Joe Garcia, a Miami-Dade County Democrat, was on a beach next to a woman in a thong.
TMZ identified her simply as "Garcia's chick."
Of course Garcia, 50, who is divorced, is perfectly within his rights to enjoy the beach next to anyone he wants. And men in swim trunks don't wear shirts on South Florida's beaches, even if they are carrying an extra pound or two, and some women wear thongs.

Even as public faith in government — especially in Congress and liberal social policy — has largely vanished, Ted Deutch isn't wavering. He wants to increase food stamp aid and raise taxes to shore up Social Security.
He's a staunch champion of Israel, and can effortlessly detail the policy implications of Iran's nuclear program and critique the deal aimed at curbing its ability to develop a devastating weapon.
And he was so moved by last December's school massacre in Newton, Conn.,...
Eventually Democrats will regain the majority in the House, Geller said. And someone like Deutch is the kind of person...
Broward County's majestic Main Library in downtown Fort Lauderdale should have been free by now of blue tarps, plywood and power tools.
But the ribbon cutting that should have come in July — marking an end to eight years of renovations since Hurricane Wilma hit the building in 2005 — didn't. And Broward County commissioners agreed recently to fire the company doing the work.
The construction has come to a halt, still incomplete.
"We're kind of in a holding pattern,'' said Steve...
Alex Lewy, a candidate for state House of Representatives, had an unusual headliner for a political fundraiser Tuesday night: Richard Blanco, the sometimes-South Floridian who delivered the poem at President Barack Obama's inaugural in January.

A tiff between Hallandale Beach Mayor Joy Cooper and Commissioner Michele Lazarow has Cooper hearing voices.
And those voices, she thinks, are coming from Cooper's political enemy, former Hallandale Beach Commissioner Keith London.

Broward County employees will pay more for health insurance this year, partly because of Obamacare, county officials said.
In letters to employees, they were advised that as a result of the passage of the Affordable Care Act, commonly called Obamacare, "employers nationwide were required to pay new taxes and fees starting in 2013.''
"As a result of Health Care Reform taxes and fees and member utilization,'' the letter continued, "our rates increased by approximately $4 million for 2014. ......
First the police union took its contract dispute to one of the city's premier art events to hold a rally. Now, with City Hall and the police no closer to a resolution, the union claimed a spot in Plantation's annual Holiday Parade to toss candy canes to children as they rode by on a float that depicted the mayor as a Grinch.
"It was meant to make a statement about what Plantation is doing to its police officers," said union president Joe Mercogliano of the union's presence at Saturday's event....
The Plantation police took their protest over pay and pension to the city's annual holiday parade this past weekend.

Broward County Commissioner Kristin Jacobs has never been formally training in the art of cooking. And that's exactly why the Food Network is interested in her.
Jacobs said she was contacted in recent weeks by the network, which is creating a new show - a contest of some kind - featuring "home cooks.'' The casting call had closed, but the network was lacking in applicants from the South, she said she was told.
Jacobs said they told her she "had come highly recommended as a sophisticated chef.''...
City of Fort Lauderdale employees are being trained this week by two police detectives in how to handle an active shooter.
It's a first for the city, city spokesman Chaz Adams said.
"With the rise in active shooter incidents across the country,'' said Adams, "it's important that employees be prepared and knowledgeable about response options.''
A deranged city employee with a weapon is not just a hypothetical in Fort Lauderdale. In 1996, a fired parks and recreation employee, Clifton...
The race for Kristin Jacobs' seat on the Broward County Commission could get a lot more interesting. Sources are saying that we'll see a familiar name on the ballot in 2014: Rodstrom.
Charlotte Rodstrom lives in District 7, where she was on the County Commission ballot last year to replace her term-limited spouse, and she lost to Tim Ryan. She then re-ran for her Fort Lauderdale City Commission seat and lost to Dean Trantalis.
Maybe she has ballot fever.

An NPR report Tuesday might help explain why voter turnout among Democrats in Broward is often less than it should be based on the number of registered voters in both parties.
Basically, the report said, longer commutes translate into less political involvement.
But there's more nuance: that's especially true for lower income voters. Low-income voters are disproportionately Democrats. And Broward sure has long commutes, which can be especially ugly for low-income workers.
Here's the NPR audio...

Young Republicans are increasingly worried that their party is doing so much to alienate their peers that it's an endangered species, facing an increasingly tough time winning big elections.

By next spring, readers of political books will be able to bookend their collections, with offerings by Congresswoman Debbie Wasserman Schultz on the left and former Congressman Allen West on the right.
West, the tea party Republican from Palm Beach Gardens, on Tuesday began the marketing tease designed to increase interest in his forthcoming book by unveiling the title, "Guardian of the Republic," but little more.
The Common Core curriculum has become the latest cause for the tea party movement and as well as some on the political left, and a Florida state senator says that's because its opponents misunderstand the issue of who will be controlling what kids are taught.
Common Core is designed to alter the way critical subjects are taught and tested. The aim is to make sure high school graduates have the English and math skills they'll need in the workplace and in college.

But in a Shakespearean twist, the Republican Party sicced LeMieux on his former political partner. LeMieux is a leading attack dog as Crist's campaign for the Democratic nomination for governor has gone from rumor to reality.
"If not for Charlie, I don't know that anybody would have ever heard the name of George LeMieux," said former...
Hallandale Beach Mayor Joy Cooper didn't like the way she and her city were handled by the Broward County inspector general earlier this year.
Cooper sent a three-page letter to the bosses of Inspector General John Scott a few days before his annual evaluation last week. At the evaluation meeting last Friday, when the letter was pulled out, Scott appeared miffed that the letter had been sent to everyone but him.
Here's a copy of it.Scott got good reviews from the Selection/Oversight Committee...
Just a few years ago, South Florida judges were appearing regularly in the news for varying degrees of insensitivity and scandal.
Then, the halls of justice grew relatively quiet — until Tuesday night when a Broward judge was arrested in Boca Raton on a charge of DUI.
Circuit Judge Cynthia Imperato's arrest reminds us of past cases of judges who came into the spotlight. If there were a "Judges Gone Wild" reality show, some may have nabbed starring roles.

But that was when both were Republicans.
Now Crist is attempting to win back his old job as a Democrat.

September 30, 2011Can you change the world on your coffee break? More than you might imagine. Consider this: After petroleum, coffee is the world's most heavily traded commodity. And together, the simple decisions we make each day — like ordering a cup of coffee — can add up to make an enormous difference. Your choice of coffee can help to change the face of communities, of conservation — even the fight against global climate change.
Conservation International started working with Starbucks in Chiapas in 1998. The mission? Improving farmers' livelihoods — while conserving one of Mexico's prime forests.
So far, over a million coffee farmers on four continents have benefitted from the program. And now, these efforts could affect billions of people around the world: What started with coffee has grown into tackling carbon and climate change, throughout Mexico and beyond.
Find out what CI and partners, from local farmers to Arnold Schwarzenegger, are brewing in Chiapas — and how you can play a part.
From its ancient pyramids and mist-shrouded rainforests to its colorful modern cities, here's what you need to know about one of Mexico's most unique states.
Standing in stark contrast to the deserts covering northern Mexico, the lush forests of Chiapas thrive amid its high rainfall and humid climate. The state holds 30 percent of the country's fresh water, a resource that supports abundant wildlife and an agricultural system that sustains thousands of livelihoods. In the Sierra Madre de Chiapas mountain range — where CI-Mexico's conservation efforts are focused — rural villagers share the cloud and pine-oak forests with monkeys, tapirs, jaguars, ocelots, iguanas, parrots and hundreds of other unique species.
History and Culture
Together with neighboring Guatemala, Chiapas is believed to be the cradle of Mayan civilization; archaeological excavation has unearthed ancient ruins dating from the classic Mayan era of A.D. 200-900. The arrival of the Spanish in 1524 took a significant toll on the indigenous population and set off a long struggle for territory and power. Guatemala and Mexico fought for control of Chiapas for centuries; for a brief time, it was actually an independent country, before being reincorporated into Mexico in 1842.
Although Chiapas is one of Mexico's most resource-rich regions, it is also the country's poorest state, a reality that has led to civil unrest. In 1994's Zapatista rebellion, masked rebels took up arms to fight for the collective and individual rights historically denied to indigenous Mexicans.
Coffee in Chiapas
The Spanish first introduced coffee to Mexico in the late 18th century, but it wasn't until after the Mexican Revolution in the early 1900s that commercial coffee cultivation really took off. Production exploded in the 1970s with the help of new higher-yielding agricultural methods. These days, Chiapas produces most of Mexico's coffee, which itself is the world's sixth-largest coffee producing country. Chiapas is currently home to about 121,000 coffee farmers, 90 percent of whom grow their crop on less than 5 hectares (12 acres) of land.
High poverty levels lead many rural farmers to seek additional farmland for production of coffee, as well as subsistence crops such as corn and beans. This places increasing pressure on the remaining forested areas. Cattle ranching is another major driver of deforestation in the state, as many rural Chiapas residents view ranching as a more economically viable alternative to farming.
Halting deforestation in Chiapas is made especially challenging due to the fact that most of it is happening on small plots of land, which are difficult to regulate. Working with our local partners, CI recognizes that in order to reverse this dangerous trend, we must start from the ground up and provide alternative economic development opportunities for the people of Chiapas.

Your Comments
After growing up in the
After growing up in the Assembly of God faith, I have seen the Pentecostal beliefs. And I don't belief that speaking in the Holy Spirit is a requirement to salvation, or the question I have is it real? I just don't see the real connection here. The doctrine is just a little out of touch with reality for me. I don't want to offend anyone by no means. Although this doctrine is beliefs of others. I just can't see how it could change the way we belief in our religion of choice.
Robert, I know the Assemblies
Robert, I know the Assemblies of God well which you have grown up with. I assure you that this group does not equate "speaking in tongues" or glossolalia as a requirement for salvation. That is not to say there may be some who do not understand their doctrine and make this false claim. The doctrine of this very respected Pentecostal Movement placed in their official doctrine that the supernatural phenomenon that you address is a subsequent experience separate from salvation for the purpose of evangelism and prayer. They understand this promised experience was addressed by Jesus in Acts 1:8 when he stated, "But you shall receive power when the Holy Spirit comes upon you and you shall be my witnesses in Jerusalem, Judea, and in Samaria and unto the ends of the world." This power was promised to the early Church in order to have power in communicating the Gospel message in the face of the intimidating Roman Empire. This experience still continues today across the world and estimates of over 800 million persons claiming the Pentecostal experience of speaking in tongues seems to be correct. See the Assemblies Official doctrine on this experience below. Hope this helps.
7. The Baptism in the Holy Spirit
All believers are entitled to and should ardently expect and earnestly seek the promise of the Father, the baptism in the Holy Spirit and fire, according to the command of our Lord Jesus Christ. This was the normal experience of all in the early Christian Church. With it comes the enduement of power for life and service, the bestowment of the gifts and their uses in the work of the ministry.
