Pro Tip: For boarding, have vaccine records so we can quickly determine what is needed to stay with us.
Weston Lakes Animal Hospital treats dogs, cats, and other pets in distress with a level of care you might more commonly expect to see in a doctor's office for humans. Surgeries, ultrasounds, blood work, and vaccinations, as well as routine procedures such as microchipping and heartworm tests are carried out using digital x-rays, an onsite lab, and other up-to-date equipment and facilities. The caring experts on staff also administer testing and treatment for allergies and dental cleaning for both dogs and cats that haven't mastered the art of flossing without opposable thumbs.
Davie Creek Animal Hospital is a full service veterinarian hospital with a state of the art facility and equipment We provide the highest quality of medical and surgical care in a compassionate environment. We want to create a long-lasting relationship with our clients and their pets based on exceptional care
The scene is a familiar one: hotel guests lounge beside the outdoor pool as staff members filter around, offering refreshments or collecting clients for a spa treatment. However, at Pet Paradise, the pool is bone shaped and all the guests are dogs. This luxurious scene is one cat and dog owners can find at this boarding and daycare facility that has been owner Fred Goldsmith's pride and joy for a decade. The animal lover was inspired to start his own pet hotel when he simply couldn't find a place he was comfortable leaving his bichon frise when he went on vacation.
Fred made Pet Paradise to his exact specifications, and the pet hotel's amenities reflect the loving care he lavishes on his own beloved pup. Dogs and cats can luxuriate in spa-quality grooming treatments or burn off some energy during group playtime. In the evening, pets can settle into plush bedding and feel safe knowing that the dedicated live-in staff resides just a bark away. Nocturnal kitties spend the night exploring their own private six-level cat condos while gentle spa music fills the air to keep them entertained. In case of any emergencies, Pet Paradise keeps veterinarians on-call, and in the event of a snack emergency, each staff member is a certified bacon cook.
Knowing the oft-contentious relationship between dogs and cats, Lakeside Animal Hospital keeps entirely separate entrances, lobbies, and exam rooms for felines and canines. It's one way the animal hospital's staff shows its deep understanding and passion for four-legged guests. Dr. Monica Fernandez's team of veterinarians and staff treat animals with a roster of wellness services. These services include laser therapy to reduce pain and accelerate healing time from injury and surgery, as well as ultrasounds to detect whether a pup is pregnant or if it just swallowed the remote control. The hospital staff also keeps pets safe with boarding services, and can help them look their best with expert grooming sessions.

Seems hard to believe it has been ten days since Sporting Kansas City won the MLS Cup, but it is true.
And now that everyone has had a chance to settle down a little bit, the video's from Sporting's win are starting to pop up all over the internet. What has been crazy about these highly produced video's – the one's that clearly were filmed professionally – are how epic they are. It is almost as if Sporting saved the world with their Cup victory. Try watching these things and not get crazy emotional.
The first effort came from MLS themselves, properly named "On the Edge of Glory." Yes, I was a little surprise to not hear a Lady Gaga song in the background, too. Though, unlike you, I was kind of disappointed about it. Here's the video.
Next we have former Kansas City Wizard Jimmy Conrad cursing his way through his analysis of the MLS Cup. You could tell he was emotionally invested in Kansas City winning this thing, but with his actual words – he says he's rooting for KC in the video – and with actions while filming. The look on his face right while on the pitch right after KC clinched the Cup is maybe the best moment of all of these videos.
Finally, we have Sporting KC's offering. There was a disappointing lack of Robb Heineman drinking Boulevard beer out of the Cup scenes in the video, but it did a good job of furthering the "This is the most epic thing to happen in Kansas City since 1985." It was well done.
So what do you think? Which was your favorite Sporting highlight video?

Louisiana's era of forcing certain convicted sex workers to register as sex offenders appears to be over. Governor Jindall's office announced today that he had signed into law a bill, sponsored by Louisiana State Representative Charmaine Marchand Stiaes, that effectively moves prostitution convictions back to the level of misdemeanor.
Previously, police officers and prosecutors in Louisiana had a choice between charging accused sex workers under the prostitution law, which was a misdemeanor, or under Louisiana's 200-plus year-old "Crime Against Nature" law, a felony. That law was interpreted to apply specifically to solicitation for oral or anal sex, but in practice it meant police had ultimate discretion on who to charge with the greater offense.
The majority sentenced under the law were indigent women of color and transgender women of color. Once convicted, they were also forced to register as sex offenders, which brought a long list of restrictions and requirements, including having the words "sex offender" printed in large letters on their driver's license, and the obligation to send a post card to all of their neighbors informing everyone of their conviction

By the way…
I recently bought a 2006 Pontiac GTO. The good one, from Australia. I loved it. Then, a few weeks later, it…uh…blew up.
You don't expect to buy a lemon from CarMax, but this is what happens when you do.
New Car Review
My newest car review is up. It's been a while, so I have a few backlogged. This is the first of them, a review about a popular transportation pod.
Exactly how often do cops shoot people?
Well, actually, we really don't know.
D.Brian Burghart is the editor of the Reno News & Review, the city's alt-weekly. Driving home one day, he came across the aftermath of a police shooting, and became curious about it. So he started to look for the figures on how often officer-involved shootings happen. And he couldn't find them. Anywhere.
Nowhere could I find out how many people died during interactions with police in the United States. Try as I might, I just couldn't wrap my head around that idea. How was it that, in the 21st century, this data wasn't being tracked, compiled, and made available to the public? How could journalists know if police were killing too many people in their town if they didn't have a way to compare to other cities? Hell, how could citizens or police? How could cops possibly know "best practices" for dealing with any fluid situation? They couldn't.
So, he decided to create one. He's spent the last two years building a crowd-sourced database of officer-involved shootings at Fatal Encounters. And it hasn't been easy, as he explains:
The biggest thing I've taken away from this project is something I'll never be able to prove, but I'm convinced to my core: The lack of such a database is intentional. No government—not the federal government, and not the thousands of municipalities that give their police forces license to use deadly force—wants you to know how many people it kills and why.
It's the only conclusion that can be drawn from the evidence. What evidence? In attempting to collect this information, I was lied to and delayed by the FBI, even when I was only trying to find out the addresses of police departments to make public records requests. The government collects millions of bits of data annually about law enforcement in its Uniform Crime Report, but it doesn't collect information about the most consequential act a law enforcer can do.
I've been lied to and delayed by state, county and local law enforcement agencies—almost every time. They've blatantly broken public records laws, and then thumbed their authoritarian noses at the temerity of a citizen asking for information that might embarrass the agency. And these are the people in charge of enforcing the law.
Frankly, I find this all too easy to believe. After all, a database of officer-involved shootings would be an enormously useful thing to have for the police, in order to draw lessons about best practices. But, an even more important use is for the public to use the data to provide better visibility and accountability for police operations. And the latter reason, I strongly suspect, is precisely why the police don't want such a database. The police interest in coming up with best practices is far outweighed by their interest in preventing increased transparency.
The attitude of the police seems to be that of Colonel Jessup in "A Few Good Men":
I have neither the time nor the inclination to explain myself to a man who rises and sleeps under the blanket of the very freedom that I provide, and then questions the manner in which I provide it.
But, here's the thing: The very essence of a free society is the open ability to question the manner of how those we entrust to defend us provide that defense. It's what prevents us from becoming a police state. I would argue that we're already on the cusp of becoming one.
This week's podcast
The newest podcast episode is up. Go to our new Podcast page to see it.
How do you argue a point with a side which hasn't a clue how the real world works or what a logical "non-sequitur" is?
I think we all know which side that is.
Here's the premise put forth by an article in The New Republic:
"Libertarians Who Oppose a Militarized Police Should Support Gun Control"
Here's a sketch of the argument:
There is indeed agreement between many liberals and libertarians that the militarization of the police, especially in its dealings with racial minorities, has gone too far. But this consensus may crumble pretty quickly when it's confronted with the obvious police counter-argument: that the authorities' heavy firepower and armor is necessary in light of all the firepower they're up against. At that point, many liberals will revert to arguing for sensible gun control regulations like broader background checks to keep guns out of the hands of violent felons and the mentally ill (the measure that police organizations successfully argued should be the gun control movement's legislative priority following the Newtown, Connecticut shootings) or limits on assault weapons and oversized ammunition clips. And liberals will be reminded that the libertarians who agree with them in opposing police militarization are very much also opposed to the gun regulations that might help make the environment faced by police slightly less threatening.
But it doesn't "crumble" at all. You have to buy into the premise that it is a more lethally dangerous out there for police than it appears to be. But it isn't:
The number of law-enforcement officers killed by firearms in 2013 fell to levels not seen since the days of the Wild West, according to a report released Monday.
The annual report from the nonprofit National Law Enforcement Officers Memorial Fund also found that deaths in the line of duty generally fell by 8 percent and were the fewest since 1959.
According to the report, 111 federal, state, local, tribal and territorial officers were killed in the line of duty nationwide this past year, compared to 121 in 2012.
Forty-six officers were killed in traffic related accidents, and 33 were killed by firearms.
The number of firearms deaths fell 33 percent in 2013 and was the lowest since 1887.
And the drop is credited to bullet proof vests, not SWAT Teams and MRAPS. Pretending that the threat is any higher now than it always has been seems obviously wrong, given the facts. Certainly there are toxic cultures within our society who believe that violence is the answer to whatever they encounter as a problem. And yes, police have to face that potential threat all the time. Do I think police should be armed adequately? Yes, but that doesn't at all begin to cover what we see among today's police forces in terms of both equipment and tactics. In fact, I believe it is all of these "wars" on everything from drugs to terrorists which have had a hand in helping to militarize the police.
That said, agree or disagree with that point, gun control is essentially not only been shown to be ineffective but is a non-sequitur in this "argument". See Chicago, Detroit, Washington DC for proof the ineffectiveness of the ban. But you have to ask, who in this day and age but a clueless journalist would even begin to believe that "broader background checks" are going to keep guns out of the hands of "violent felons?" Have they in the past (their answer is they just haven't be stringent enough)? Honestly, do they really believe a felon is going to waltz into a gun store to buy what he wants knowing full well he'll have a background check run? Really?
Have these rubes never heard of a black market (they can buy guns from Mexican cartels, thoughtfully provided by the DoJ)? Do they not realize that any "violent felon" who wants a gun isn't going to even try to get one legally? So, knowing that, why in the world would any libertarian grant the absurd premise knowing full well that doing so only limits the freedom of the law abiding citizenry? It's absurd on its face. And, logically, it is a non-sequitur to any libertarian (again, libertarianism isn't about shrinking rights and freedoms for heaven sake). How does making it more inconvenient for citizens who aren't "violent felons" to buy a gun for self-protection going to stop a felon from obtaining his gun illegally? It isn't.
Because, of course, that's not what they really want (i.e. incremental change via "broader background checks"). They want a total ban on guns, for government and felons to be the only people with guns and to essentially outlaw then outright. Obviously they are oblivious to the danger of only government having guns and they certainly don't seem to be able to wrap their heads around the fact that felons aren't going to pay any attention to the law. Nor will the black market in illegal guns. So why, again, should anyone grant this argument credence?
I swear, you just wonder at times what goes on between their ears all day, because it certainly has nothing to do with the real world or reason.
Economic Statistics for 21 Aug 14
The PMI Manufacturing Index Flash for August rose 1.7 points to 58.0.
The Philadelphia Fed Survey for August rose a sharp 4.1 points to 28.0, a rise not supported by the report's underlying indices. Both new orders and shipments slowed by half, while unfilled orders are shrinking and delivery times are improving. All of these are symptomatic of slowing activity. The headline number is not a a composite of components but is based on a single subjective question in the survey. This month, at least, the answer to that question seems at variance with the other indices in the report.
Existing home sales rose 2.4% to an annualized rate of 5.15 million units in July.
Initial jobless claims fell 14,000 last week, to 298,000. The 4-week moving average rose 5,000 to 300,750. Continuing claims fell 49,000 to 2.500 million.
The Bloomberg Consumer Comfort Index fell -0.2 points to 36.6 in the latest week.
The Fed's balance sheet fell $-19.0 billion last week, with total assets of $4.412 trillion. Reserve Bank credit fell $-3.7 billion.
The Fed reports that M2 Money Supply fell by $-8.7 billion last week.
Cupcake policing
I think George Will is on to something:
In physics, a unified field theory is an attempt to explain with a single hypothesis the behavior of several fields. Its political corollary is the Cupcake Postulate, which explains everything , from Missouri to Iraq, concerning Americans' comprehensive withdrawal of confidence from government at all levels and all areas of activity.
Washington's response to the menace of school bake sales illustrates progressivism's ratchet: The federal government subsidizes school lunches, so it must control the lunches' contents, which validates regulation of what it calls "competitive foods," such as vending machine snacks. Hence the need to close the bake sale loophole, through which sugary cupcakes might sneak: Foods sold at fundraising bake sales must, with some exceptions, conform to federal standards.
What has this to do with police, from Ferguson, Mo., to your home town, toting marksman rifles, fighting knives, grenade launchers and other combat gear? Swollen government has a shriveled brain: By printing and borrowing money, government avoids thinking about its proper scope and actual competence. So it smears mine-resistant armored vehicles and other military marvels across 435 congressional districts because it can.
Examples? Will provides plenty of them.
Here's the point though:
A cupcake-policing government will find unending excuses for flexing its muscles as it minutely monitors our behavior in order to improve it …
"Improve" should be in scare quotes, because the deeper the medling, the more it "minutely monitors our behavior", the less it improves it and the more it interferes with it.
But … that's the state of being now in the US.
Nick Gillespie at Hit and Run agrees with Will but issues this warning:
He's right that confidence in government is plummeting mostly because of the simultaneously stupid and overreaching actions of politicians, administrators, and bureaucrats at all levels. Recognizing such a reality may be the beginning of (libertarian) wisdom, but as I've written before, it also carries a very serious potential risk. Counterintuitively, distrust in government may lead to calls for more government.
And that's one of the reasons we suffer Leviathan today. Many of our "problems" in the past have had their roots in government interference or over-reach. The real problem is we petition government for relief and government's answer is always more government.
Here's a clue: when you ask government to fix any problem it will always answer with more government, regulations, laws, whatever – nature of the beast. Unfortunately, we've been conditioned to look to government for relief from all our problems. The end-state of that is always more government control and less citizen control. And here we are.
A major ray of hope—indeed, the beam of sunshine that's warming up this libertarian moment—is really the ways in which people are creating workarounds that simply bypass government whenever possible. Taxi regulations screw consumers? Create Uber. Public-school educators are unresponsive? Create your own curriculum or even your own school. Can't sell unpasteurized milk products? Create a buyers club. Major parties won't listen? Create the Tea Party. And on and on.
As Matt Welch and I discussed at length in The Declaration of Independents, workarounds are a great thing and easier to pull off than ever, but they have serious limitations (witness foreign policy, Ferguson, the drug war, and so much more). It's well past time that we start insisting on a limited, trustworthy government that is actually competent and restrained at the few things that it should be doing. That will not only reduce the desire for more government, it will free up even more time and resources for the free-range experiments in living that will actually make the world better, more interesting, and more prosperous.
Btw, I disagree this is necessarily a "libertarian moment" (although like the "Tea Party", I see the liberals loading up the rhetorical guns to shoot down anything that might take flight suggesting it). However, what Gillespie talks about above is where this sentiment that has grown tremendously over the past 6 years (surprise, huh?) needs to be herded. Whether that's possible or not will tell us all how "libertarian" the moment has been.
Until then, enjoy your cupcakes.

Reaping the consequences of incompetence
Like her or not, I think MoDo pretty much nails it here:
A front-page article in The Times by Carl Hulse, Jeremy Peters and Michael Shear chronicled how the president's disdain for politics has alienated many of his most stalwart Democratic supporters on Capitol Hill.
His bored-bird-in-a-gilded-cage attitude, the article said, "has left him with few loyalists to effectively manage the issues erupting abroad and at home and could imperil his efforts to leave a legacy in his final stretch in office."
Senator Claire McCaskill of Missouri, an early Obama backer, noted that "for him, eating his spinach is schmoozing with elected officials."
First the president couldn't work with Republicans because they were too obdurate. Then he tried to chase down reporters with subpoenas. Now he finds members of his own party an unnecessary distraction.
His circle keeps getting more inner. He golfs with aides and jocks, and he spent his one evening back in Washington from Martha's Vineyard at a nearly five-hour dinner at the home of a nutritional adviser and former White House assistant chef, Sam Kass.
The president who was elected because he was a hot commodity is now a wet blanket.
The extraordinary candidate turns out to be the most ordinary of men, frittering away precious time on the links. Unlike L.B.J., who devoured problems as though he were being chased by demons, Obama's main galvanizing impulse was to get himself elected.
That fact was apparent to anyone who took the time to review what little we knew of Obama's sparse political record. He only stopped at each elected office long enough to get himself elected to the next higher office. He had no record of accomplishing anything of substance at any of those stops and spent most of his time campaigning for the next job he wanted.
Yet that was ignored. What was gobbled up were his words. Words that were backed by nothing but hot air. He had no record as a "uniter". He had no record as a legislator. He had no work record nor had he ever actually run anything that could be described to have given him "executive experience".
So, what some of us saw, everyone got. An empty suit. A clueless political face that managed to pull off one of the most incredible, and it appears, devastating victories of modern times.
And yet his own party is now "surprised" he's so useless and clueless. They're surprised he's been so pathetically incompetent. As they watch the world crumble, they still want to complain that it is someone else's fault (meaning those old reliable standbys – the GOP and Bush).
But as each horrific day of this presidency moves into the next, it is clear that most of the country hold the president responsible for most of the problems – both domestic and international – we are suffering.
And Democrats, as well as the liberal media, have finally figured out that defending this failure is "politically dangerous".
So we see the Claire McCaskills and Maureen Dowds of the world beginning to really distance themselves from "The One" – the one they backed to the hilt.
Rats. Sinking ship.
Sometimes though, it's not particularly helpful to be right about something or someone, as those of us who pointed out all these problems before Obama was elected were. Because when you're right about something like that, it means you're also right about the consequences.
Cast your eyes upon them – they are exactly what logic dictated would happen when you give a job as important as the presidency to a grossly unqualified man or woman.
Economic Statistics for 19 Aug 15
The Consumer Price Index rose 0.1% in July, at both the headline and core level. On a year-over-year basis, the CPI is up 2.0% at the headline level, and up 1.9% less food and energy.
July housing starts jumped 15.7%, to a 1.093 million annual rate.
ICSC-Goldman reports weekly retail sales fell -1.3%, but were up a strong 3.8%% on a year-over-year basis. Redbook, meanwhile, reports a slowing to 3.7% in retail sales over last year, compared to 4.8% last week.

October 2006 Cookbook of the Month: Cast Your Votes Here
- r
- redwood2bay Sep 27, 2006 04:15 AM
October brings shorter days, cooler weather, and the end of the autumn harvest. Since in many parts of the country it's still nice enough to be outdoors during daylight hours, I thought we could choose a cookbook that emphasizes one-pot cooking. These recipes are hearty, filling choices that reheat well and can simmer on the stove for a long time without a lot of checking. Cleanup is minimal.
Both books employ braising as a technique: one focuses on it more while the other employs it in some recipes. Even those cooks who are experts at braising will, I hope, be encouraged to try some combinations they haven't before. (And personally, I have a brand new enameled dutch oven I can't wait to break in.)
Our choices are:
-- ALL ABOUT BRAISING by Molly Stevens. This cookbook goes into great detail about the technique of braising, and also includes a wide range of recipes (not only meats, but vegetables and seafood as well).
-- SOUPS, STEWS, AND ONE POT MEALS by Tom Valenti. This cookbook focuses on one pot cooking and includes soups, stews, chilis, pastas, etc. A lot of traditional recipes (such as macaroni and cheese or beef borguignon) are updated with more modern ingredients and streamlined to be cooked in one pot.
So there you have it, folks. Please post your votes here until midnight (PST) Thursday the 28th of September. I'll announce the October cookbook on Friday and begin setting up the threads.
And one final note-- since we got a late start in September, if some hounds would like to continue cooking from Marcella Hazan's Essentials, please feel free to do so. We'll leave those threads open for now.
My vote is for Soups, Stews, and One Pot Meals, but I'm sure All About Braising will win anyway! I checked out All About Braising once before and just wasn't inspired, but maybe that will change once everyone starts cooking from it.
OMG, I knew I should have gotten SSO when I saw it on sale today. I'm going to tentatively vote for it and hope it's still at the store when I go back next week.
Does your last sentence mean that the threads will eventually be closed? I was wondering about that...
I'm fine w/ either book. I have AAB and just requested a copy of the Valenti book from my library. Thanks for leading us on this wonderful group project!
My vote is for All About Braising. I like how there are recipes for short braises as well as longer ones. Some of the recipes look like I can throw together dinner v. spending all day waiting for the dish to finsih (I can do that on a weekend).
Regardless, I am in either way
Thanks for giving us focus and direction Redwood2bay.
My vote is for All About Braising. It's good for experienced cooks 'cause it has a wide range of tasty-sounding dishes and for the novice braiser, lots of discussion of technique to inspire confidence.
re: cheryl_h
If you are in the Bay Area, it could well be extremely warm here then. Braising could be miserable.
re: wally
Well in Indiana we are still running the air-conditioner. We've had a few cool days. But again that is not a book I need and braising is just a natural all winter and just a part of cooking I do with a natural instinct. BTW the kale I braised and reported on laszt weekend was a wonderful thing.
re: cheryl_h
Sorry to hear that you won't be participating this month, cheryl and Candy, but I understand. Not every cookbook is for every cook--
Please keep an eye out for the November voting, which will happen October 10th. We look forward to having you with us again next month.
re: redwood2bay
Is this something new from Chow or Chowhound? Or are you just a regular poster?
re: theotherhalfofdh
redwood2bay is just one of us with a great idea. Here's how it started:
re: theotherhalfofdh
Thanks, JoanN. Yes, just a regular hound who seriously underestimated how much time it would take to keep up with all the threads. But the cookbook of the month project has been fun so far, join us!
Since I already have AAB (in fact, planning on making the Sausages & Plums Braised in Red Wine, and the Bacon and Leek Tart this weekend!), that's my vote. However, Valenti's book sounds great too and I'd be interested in that also.
I've requested AAB from the library, but the other one looks good as well. Both look like excellent choices now that the cool weather is upon us.
all about braising gets my vote, i've checked out a few recipes and it sounds very autumn-y and warm!
I'll vote SSO since I just invested in my first crock pot, but I'm excited to join either way!
re: ceeceee
Redwood2bay says above that votes will be taken til midnight Thurs. and that she will announce the outcome Fri. and set up respective threads. I haven't tallied, but it seems pretty close. Thanks again, R2B!
ok, great...i can make a trip to B&N over the weekend!!!
yes and thanks redwood bay, great job!
I'm going to put in a vote for AAB. I think after all I've seen on this site about that book I might have to get it no matter what.:)
I am new and would like info on how to get involved with this, if my vote counts, One pot meals.
Please respond to let me know how to access last months cookbook, is it on the web?
May I offer a suggestion? I participate in a craft forum in which members will start a project-a-long, so to speak, where the OP starts a craft project and invites others to do the same project and compare notes. Each project has its own thread.
What I think would work well is for each cookbook to have its own thread (and leader). That way, there's only one person/leader per project/book and no time limit. People could start a cookbook that they felt enthused about or join in (or not, as the case may be). Ideally, this kind of thing would have its own forum, so right under the Home Cooking forum link you could find the Cookbook-a-long forum link(or however it would be titled).
Just a thought!
re: Kiyah
Kiyah, such a helpful suggestions!
It might be just the thing for participants who want to concentrate on one specific chef/cookbook, or technique and help each person interested focus there.
I also like your suggestion about one person (leader) per thread so that no one feels overwhelmed any given month or actually has a cookbook preference. How does your crafting forum communicate each months leader/choice to the entire forum separate from the activity thread? Very helpful.
Question to others: Will the results/experiences of those who participated in Sept choice post on the Sept thread or will a new thread be created for that?
re: HillJ
All communication is done with the thread. The poster simply posts with the title of the project. For example, someone who wanted to do Bayless's Mexican Everyday would just title their thread "Bayless's Mexican Everyday cookbook-a-long (or whatever)" and then, in the message, describe the details. Then it can run as long as there is interest in it.
re: HillJ
While I agree it would be great to have a separate forum for the Cookbook project, one thread per book wouldn't work. Even the five threads on "Essentials" was unwieldy (Redwood will even be adding another next month just for reviews of recipes Hounds have already tried). For example, the pasta thread has almost 100 posts alone:
re: Rubee
Rubee, I think just about any idea has a shot at working, but I don't believe it is necessary to over think this projects setup. Suggestions are only that.
What I am finding a tiny bit daunty is locating each thread connected to this projects ongoing results. I had no idea the pasta thread existed.
Thanks for the reply.
re: yumyum
THAT is so helpful, tyou yumyum
Just a heads up to Boston hounds: ABB is in the remainders at the Book Fair.
Also spotted in remainders today: Mangoes and Curry Leaves; Hot, Sour, Salty, Sweet; Frank Stitt's Southern Table; Bouchon; French Laundry. Couldn't take any more temptation, and had to skeedaddle so don't know what else was recently put out.
I love that place.
re: mirage
Oh mirage -- you wicked wicked poster! I made a solemn pledge not to buy another cookbook until I'd worked my way thru Molto Mario (great so far) and the New Spanich Table (a cookbook you want to curl up with in bed, chock full of information.) Now you tell me this. Oh geez. Oh my.
re: yumyum
Believe me, I know! Despite a similar vow, I came home with Southern Table and Mangoes and Curry Leaves (already owned ABB, HSSS, and Bouchon.) Rapidly running out of space!
re: mirage
Those are excellent additions. Love both of them. They are also just great reads too. Curl up and just dive in. Both are fascinating.
re: mirage
How much was ABB at New England Mobile Bookfair? Trying to decide whether or not it is worth my while to buy this book v. using the library's copy. (If I love the library copy, it will go on my xmas list).
Also, were there numerous copies on the remainder table?
re: beetlebug
$12.98 and there were, maybe, 10? Gotta hurry!

Quit Coal Blog
This week brings more bad news for Edison International's coal fleet.
Following several quarters of declining revenues, low energy prices, and a suite of new federal, state, and local health standards, top investment analysts are questioning whether Edison International's portfolio of coal-fired power plants might just be worthless.0 comments
For years, people in Chicago have been working to shut down the two coal fired-power plants in their city. These two plants, some of the oldest in the country, are owned and operated by a subsidiary of Edison International, a large power company based in Southern California.
Last Thursday, as part of 100 Actions for 100% Clean Energy, seven Michigan State University students held a sit-in at their president's office demanding MSU shut down its coal plant and transition to 100% clean energy.0 comments
**UPDATE** Monday October 24, 2011 - Check out this cool video of the action.
The three students have all been released. More updates on the administration's response soon to come.
Three students arrested at Michigan State University Sit-in.0 comments
On Friday, the House of Representatives pushed through HR 2273, legislation which continues the same non-existent regulation of toxic coal ash and yet again undermines the EPA's ability to protect our public health.0 comments
Congress is voting on a bill this Friday that would leave our water sources completely unprotected. Our streams, lakes and rivers are being polluted on a massive scale by toxic coal ash leaking from unregulated, poorly constructed ash ponds.0 comments
Here is a collection of recent news articles related to coal and clean energy:
Ultra pro-business State Journal declares in editorial that it's time for W.Va. to 'look beyond coal'

For the current Speaker of the House, John Boehner (R-OH), American democracy is simpler than representing the people who vote for him. Instead of fighting for jobs and health in his district, Boehner will just spend money to polish his image in 2012. He has made a decision to collect vast sums of money from industry polluters outside his district who couldn't care less about the 8th district of Ohio.0 comments
Guest post by Lester R. Brown
It is one thing for Michael Brune, head of the Sierra Club, to say coal has to go, but quite another when Michael Bloomberg says so. Few outside the environmental community know who Michael Brune is, but every business person knows Michael Bloomberg as one of the most successful business entrepreneurs of his generation.0 comments
Today, Greenpeace delivered 50,000 petitions to the EPA in support of strong federal standards restricting mercury and hazardous air pollutants from coal plants. While industry and politician's have worked against life saving standards, today, we are sending a strong message to the EPA that our members want common sense safeguards on heavy metals, toxic gases, and other dangerous pollutants.

Here we go again. Sports Illustrated is reporting that a Dallas Cowboys source doubts that Roy E. Williams can carry the Cowboys passing game like Terrell Owens did.
Of course, the player is unnamed. The statement the anonymous player made was that Williams cannot run like Owens and he's not as fast. However, he admits that the Cowboys got Williams last year when he was hurt and he should be coming to camp healthy.
The anonymous player says he hopes he is wrong, but expresses doubt in Williams.
The player is probably right. But the release of Owens really wasn't an issue of talent. We know this. Jerry can say all he wants that the decision was not made because of Owens' character, but we no he's lying like the slickster he is.
But this outspoken player needs to realize that the true No. 1 receiver for the Dallas Cowboys is Jason Witten. He doesn't drop balls. He's hard to tackle. He's quick and agile. When you have a tight end like Witten, the Cowboys could probably turn Patrick Crayton and Miles Austin into stars.
Unfortunately, the better option for the Cowboys would have been to never trade for Williams. They should have waited out for Anquan Boldin, who is unhappy in Arizona. That's a guy who can be a No. 1 receiver. Maybe the Cowboys will still get him, but the damage has been done with the Cowboys giving away so much for a receiver who played for the Detroit Lions.

I bought it some time ago and actually like it, but it has fundamental problems - because of bug in iPods you can adjust your music either for iPod only or for iTunes only (it even has special option for this). Also this method will work only for iTunes and iPod and no other players.
I've been in touch with the author of iVolume. I don't think he lost interest in the project. Apple's DRM killed his ability to process ITMS files.

When Kinect can be utilized along with the controller for gameplay, i'll be interested in it.
Mass effect, Mechwarrior, or any game that could have controls outside the normal controllers buttons could utilize it for a futuristic effect.
I didn't buy a wii, so Playing wii style titles has no interest for me.
Let me say I really want to be excited about the Kinect, but nothing at launch or that ive seen for the near future does that for me.
I understand that I'm not the target audience, I'm a core gamer, but the fact that there isnt a single core oriented title at launch worries me.
|Marcus Miller
Phil Spencer did not rule out a controller for Kinect. I wouldn't be surprised if Microsoft announces a wand controller for Kinect within the next year. Microsoft will just have to say that they would be filling a consumer demand for it. Personally, I think a controller/Kinect combination would be great!
|Jonathan Gilmore
Interesting note, as of yesterday the standalone Kinect was no longer available for pre-order on Amazon.com.

I also note that a large portion of the world's peoples are lactose-intolerant by ethnic division. I believe tolerance to lactose has evolved through consumption, and is not a trait that humans come by naturally. Calcium and other nutrients found in milk are indeed important. All those nutrients are available elsewhere. I tend not to drink milk myself.

There's a saying we use often when we see projects come to life: "Great concept, poor execution." Very rarely do we run into a situation where a project is a poor concept with great execution. But that's exactly what this Toyota Celica is.
Signal Auto is also known as Signal Kustom Built and is one of the top car builders out in Indonesia. They specialize in off-the-wall conversions and crazy rides. Apparently a customer came into the shop with a 2000 Toyota Celica wanting to customize it. The client and Signal Auto decided to convert the Celica to a Ferrari F430 look-a-like. The result is what they call a Cerrari.
It took 18 months to do the conversion with Signal Auto hand-building every single panel rather than retrofitting OEM Ferrari pieces. To complete the car, Signal Auto did a custom air-ride suspension along with a set of chrome Forgiato wheels.
To us the result is just a funny looking car, a little reminiscent of the Lego Ferrari F430. The proportions are obviously a little bit off giving the Celica's shorter wheelbase but we have to give credit to the guys at Signal Auto for their amazing craftsmanship and making the project look as good as it possibly could. We really could have done without the Ferrari shield on the fenders though.

moreHaim Omer builds on his previous work to present a new model of authority for parents, teachers and community workers that is suitable for today's free and pluralistic societies. This new authority contrasts with traditional authority in that it emphasizes self-control and persistence over control of the child, a network of support over a strict hierarchy, taking mutual responsibility for escalations over holding the child solely responsible, patience over threats, non-violent resistance over physical force, and transparency over secrecy. In addition to a thorough discussion of the underlying theory, The New Authority presents a practical program for families, schools and communities. Dr Omer provides specific instructions to combat violence and risky behavior at home and in school, increase parent and teacher interest and support, and implement interventions that increase safety, improve atmosphere and generate community cohesiveness. less

Adapting to a changing landscape
Midyear outlook for the global chemical industry
The past year has been a defining one for the global chemical industry. The well-known struggles of the automotive and construction industries have translated into reduced demand, declining revenues, and diminishing profits for nearly every chemical company worldwide. Globally, production declined over 10% midway into 2009 resulting in companies being forced to rethink and adapt their strategies for the present as well as the future.
To help better understand the forces moving the industry, Deloitte's Global Manufacturing Industry Group turned to a global panel of chemical industry leaders for perspectives on the state of the industry, and the difficult decisions companies in the sector must make in the short term that will determine who wins, who loses, and who survives in the future.
Outlook at a glance
- Global demand for chemicals has contracted significantly, with the automotive and construction sectors bearing most of the responsibility
- Given the unlikelihood of a return to pre-recession levels in demand soon or in the intermediate term, consolidation will be a major trend, both within the chemical industry and in end user markets
- Revising and redefining the corporate business model will be an important restructuring tactic to adapt to the new economic environment

Single the solitude licks its dirty hairs,
the solitude is cleaned with its his saliva of cat
licks its legs, tail of colors is a wounded animal
the tired solitude licks its wounds like a cat
and returns to me.
It is the solitude
it suddenly appears its shade
in second or third or fourth dimension
its shade in in black and white
the forgetfulness reappears
and when I have forgotten it completely
it returns, licks it wounds of lonely cat.
I think solitude remembers me like an old friend
It is transparent at present
while its sores licks his wounds like a cat
it always return to me like best men friend
my major friend.

LEXINGTON, KY (Nov. 8, 2012) – The market for attractive, well-bred broodmares continued to show strength during Thursday's session of Keeneland's November Breeding Stock Sale, led by the sale of Tell It, a half-sister to prominent sire Pulpit, for $540,000.
Blandford Bloodstock purchased the 15-year-old daughter of Storm Cat, who is out of the Grade 1 stakes-winning Mr. Prospector mare Preach. Tell It is the dam of stakes winner Dream Nettie, and was sold in foal to Candy Ride (ARG). She was consigned by Claiborne Farm, agent.
Changing Skies (IRE) Sells for $4.2 Million
LEXINGTON, KY (Nov. 7, 2012) – Elite young mares and broodmare prospects continued to be highly prized during the second day of selling at Keeneland's November Breeding Stock Sale, which was headlined by the sale of graded stakes winners Pure Clan and Changing Skies (IRE) for $4.5 million and $4.2 million, respectively.
Grade 1 stakes winner Pure Clan, sold in foal to leading sire Bernardini, brought a final bid of $4.5 million from Brazilian Goncalo Torrealba of Stud TNT near the mid-point of Wednesday's session of the Keeneland November Breeding Stock Sale.
Torrealba said the mare will go to Robert Clay's Three Chimneys Farm near Midway, Kentucky.
"I like her physical a lot; the way that she won on both turf and dirt," Torrealba said. "We are looking for good mares, and we just loved her."
LEXINGTON, KY (Nov. 6, 2012) – Plum Pretty, winner of the 2011 Kentucky Oaks (G1), sold for $4.2 million to Mandy Pope's Whisper Hill Farm to top Tuesday's opening session of the Keeneland November Breeding Stock Sale.
Plum Pretty, winner of the 2011 Kentucky Oaks (G1), sold for $4.2 million to Mandy Pope's Whisper Hill Farm near the mid-point of Tuesday's opening session of the Keeneland November Breeding Stock Sale.
Consigned by Taylor Made Sales Agency, as agent for John Fort's Peachtree Stable, Plum Pretty is a four-year-old daughter of Medaglia d'Oro out of the A.P. Indy mare Liszy. In addition to the Kentucky Oaks, she won the Apple Blossom (G1), Cotillion (G2) and Sunland Park Oaks for career earnings of more than $1.6 million.
LEXINGTON, KY (Nov. 1, 2012) – Keeneland's 2012 November Breeding Stock Sale – internationally renowned as the premier auction of its kind – will kick off Tuesday, November 6, at 10 a.m. ET.

with distributions of residue concentrations. This approach permits examination of the full range of pesticide exposures in the U.S. pediatric population. As is described in the next section, this approach provides an improved basis over the approach now used for assessing risks for infants and children.
To properly characterize risk to infants and children from pesticide residues in the diet, information is required on (1) food consumption patterns of infants and children, (2) concentrations of pesticide residues in foods consumed by infants and children, and (3) toxic effects of pesticides, especially effects that may be unique to infants and children. If suitable data on these three items are available, risk assessment methods based on the technique of statistical convolution can be used to estimate the likelihood that infants and children who experience specific exposure patterns may be at risk. To characterize potential risks to infants and children in this fashion, the committee utilized data on distributions of pesticide exposure that, in turn, were based on distributions of food consumption merged with data on the distribution of pesticide residue concentrations. The committee found that age-related differences in exposure patterns for 1– to 5-year-old children were most accurately illuminated by using 1-year age groupings of data on children's food consumption.
Exposure estimates should be constructed differently depending on whether acute or chronic effects are of concern. Average daily ingestion of pesticide residues is an appropriate measure of exposure for assessing the risk of chronic toxicity. However, actual individual daily ingestion is more appropriate for assessing acute toxicity. Because chronic toxicity is often related to long-term average exposure, the average daily dietary exposure to pesticide residues may be used as the basis for risk assessment when the potential for delayed, irreversible chronic toxic effects exists. Because acute toxicity is more often mediated by peak exposures occurring within a short period (e.g., over the course of a day or even during a single eating occasion), individual daily intakes are of interest. Examining the distribution of individual daily intakes within the population of interest reflects day-to-day variation in pesticide ingestion both for specific individuals and among individuals.
Children may be exposed to multiple pesticides with a common toxic effect, and estimates of exposure and of risk could therefore be improved by accounting for these simultaneous exposures. This can be accomplished by assigning toxicity equivalence factors to each of the compounds having a common mechanism of action. Total residue exposure is then estimated

Unchained Melody Lyrics - Elvis Presley
(Words & music by Zaret - North)
Oh, my love, my darling
I've hungered for your touch, a long lonely time
And time goes by, so slowly and time can do so much
Are you, still mine?
I need your love, I need your love
God speed your love to me
Lonely rivers flow to the sea, to the sea
To the open arms of the sea
Lonely rivers cry, wait for me, wait for me
are you coming home, wait for me
My love, my darling, I've hungered for your kiss
Are you still mine?
I need your love, I need your love
God, speed your love, to me

2. BALTIMORE RAVENS {10-3} - Last Week #2
Ravens 20 KC 10 @ Arrowhead. That's why I gave them a mulligan last week following a Thursday night loss @ Cinci off a short week with travel. This team has a tremendous defense and just enough offense to really make it matter.
3. CINCINNATI BENGALS {8-5} - Last Week #9
Granted, beating up on the Raiders is nothing to write home about, but that makes four in a row for the suddenly smoking hot Bengals and two of those recent victims were the Saints and Ravens, and that is a big deal. BIG ONE this week, @ Indy on MNF.
4. NEW ORLEANS SAINTS {9-4} - Last Week #7
I said it last week and I'll say it again, if not for LaDainian Tomlinson, Drew "Cool" Brees would be the obvious choice for league MVP. Brees dropped 42 on the previously red-hot Cowboys {@ Dallas}, and it could have been 49 had Sean Payton {Coach of the Year} not called off the dogs {kneel-down inside the 5 with over three minutes to play}. Forget that "nice little story" nonsense, this team is for real.
5. JACKSONVILLE JAGUARS {8-5} - Last Week #11
I recently labeled them under-achievers precisely because I swore they were an elite team in my earlier rankings and they kept on making me look bad. NOT ANYMORE. Two weeks ago they dismantled Miami and on Sunday they exposed that soft Colts defense with 375 Yards rushing {that is not a typo} in a 44-17 blood-bath.
6. CHICAGO BEARS {11-2} - Last Week #6
Devin Hester is spectacular and Grossman did a nice job on MNF, but the big story here is the loss of DT Tommie Harris. Ferocious defense is what made them special, they already lost S Mike Brown for the season, now they lose Harris as well. That's two impact players off their defense, and that is a BODY BLOW for Chicago's Super Bowl aspirations.
7. INDIANAPOLIS COLTS {10-3} - Last Week #4
Get this, Maurice Jones-Drew, Fred Taylor and Alvin Pearman nearly "averaged" 10 YPC as all three almost hit the century mark in the same game. Pearman fell short with 71 Yards on 13 Carries, while Jones-Drew and Fred Taylor gashed Indianapolis for 166 and 131 respectively. Now try to imagine just how badly LT would punish these marshmallows if his Chargers should happen to meet Indy come January?
8. DALLAS COWBOYS {8-5} - Last Week #3
Who Dat? Who Dat? Who Dat there gonna beat them Saints? NOT THE COWBOYS, that's for damn sure. 42-17 and it wasn't that close. If not for a lucky tipped ball {Owens TD that should have been an INT} and Payton calling off the dogs, it would have been a lot worse for Dallas.
9. NEW ENGLAND PATRIOTS {9-4} - Last Week #5
One week after narrowly escaping verses the putrid Lions, Tom Brady threw for a grand total of 78 Yards as Miami handed NE their lunch. Skunked them 21 to Zip as they beat Tom Brady to a bloody pulp.
10. SEATTLE SEAHAWKS {8-5} - Last Week #8
Arizona 27 Seahawks 21. The sad part is, and I swear this is true, I actually picked Arizona to beat them outright in my Yahoo {no spreads} Pick'em Pool. That's how highly I think of Seattle.
11. NEW YORK GIANTS {7-6} - Last Week #17
Let's not throw a party for the Giants. Even the Jets could have beaten Chris Weinke with their season on the line, I hope?
12. PHILADELHIA EAGLES {7-6} - Last Week #15
I wrote them off when they lost McNabb, but if the season ended today the Eagles would be in the playoffs and Jeff Garcia deserves a ton of credit for salvaging their season. Of course residing in the NFC doesn't hurt either.
13. ATLANTA FALCONS {7-6} - Last Week #14
There are quite a few teams in the AFC that look at Atlanta, Philly and the Giants and can't help but wish they resided in the NFC too.
14. KANSAS CITY CHIEFS {7-6} - Last Week #12
EXHIBIT A, the KC Chiefs. There's no doubt in my mind they win the NFC West, and probably the NFC East as well.
15. DENVER BRONCOS {7-6} - Last Week #13
EXHIBIT B, the Denver Broncos. They may not win a division title with the rookie Jay Cutler, but they never would have felt the need to hook Jake Plummer in the NFC. Just ask the Chicago Bears and Rex Grossman.
16. BUFFALO BILLS {6-7} - Last Week #19
I know Jet fans will find this hard to believe, but Willis McGahee has had a very sub-par career thus far if not for the NY Jets. I think he's averaging less than 60 Yards Per Game verses the rest of the league and 115 PG verses the Jets. Really warms your heart to know this, huh?
17. NEW YORK JETS {7-6} - Last Week #10
That was a total team effort, from Mangini's inexplicable punt on 4th & 1 at the Bills 38, to Shottenheimer's ultra conservative game plan, to Chad's downright abysmal afternoon, to a sick and banged up Willis McGahee flatout gashing the Jets defense AGAIN, to Lee Evans toasting two Jets DB's on a school-yard STOP & GO I use in touch-football, to YOU NAME IT. So what looked like a promising day, with the Pats getting smoked in Miami and the Broncos/Chiefs both dropping to 7-6, all got derailed as Buffalo manhandled the Jets in their own building.
18. MIAMI DOLPHINS {6-7} - Last Week #21
Tom Brady has failed to pass for 100 Yards only four times in his career, and all four {Including Sunday} came verses Miami. As has often been the case when these two teams lock horns, Jason Tayor was the catalyst. He harassed Tom Brady all over the field as Miami skunked NE 21-0. Brady's stats for the day .. 12 for 25, 78 Yards, 3.1 Yards Per Completion, 5 Sacks. I think that's what they call a proper @$$-Kickin?
19. TENNESSEE TITANS {6-7} - Last Week #18
That makes four in a row for Tennessee, Houston being their latest victim, but they clipped some pretty good teams during this streak as well .. Indy, the Giants and Eagles .. all of whom would make the playoffs if the season ended today, no thanks to Vince Young and his surging Titans.
20. PITTSBURGH STEELERS {6-7} - Last Week #20
Even on a down year the Steelers are still good enough {and proud enough} to beat the stuffing out of the woeful Browns and their backup QB.
21. MINNESOTA VIKINGS {6-7} - Last Week #25
There's nothing like the Detroit Lions to get you back in the race. Just what the doctor ordered.
22. CAROLINA PANTHERS {6-7} - Last Week #16
.. and these under-achievers were just what the doctor ordered for the G-Men, especially their beleaguered head coach. I would have paid money to see Tom Coughlin's sideline reactions had his Giants struggled verses Chris Weinke. I tuned in for that reason, like I was tuning into a possible train-wreck. Does that make me a bad guy?
23. ARIZONA CARDINALS {4-9} - Last Week #29
Like I said, I picked them to beat Seattle outright, so that didn't come as a shock too me. These guys can be a dangerous underdog.
24. ST LOUIS RAMS {5-8} - Last Week #23
Even the NFC can't save them now, and that's saying a lot.
25. GREEN BAY PACKERS {5-8} - Last Week #27
Packers 30 SF 19. When will Brett Favre retire? Probably when he can no-longer carve-up defenses like the 49ers. That's when he'll know it's over.
26. SAN FRAN 49ERS {5-8} - Last Week #24
They had a long way to go to get back to respectability, they're almost there, but they have a little further to travel.
27. HOUSTON TEXANS {4-9} - Last Week #22
Most of Houston wanted the hometown kid, Vince Young, at #1 Overall in the draft. Everyone else wanted Reggie Bush. Needless to say this was not a good week for the Texans as Vince Young capped off his homecoming with a dynamic TD Run in OT, reminiscent of his Longhorn exploits. Then to make matters worse, Reggie Bush busted out some of his USC magic Vs Dallas on SNF. Mario Williams is a heck of a player in his own right, but try telling that to Texans fans.
28. CLEVELAND BROWNS {4-9} - Last Week #26
Did you know that new QB for the Browns, Derek Anderson, wears a size 17 Shoe .. and he'll need every inch of those feet when he's running for dear life from that Ravens defense this week. FEET DON'T FAIL ME NOW!!
29. WASHINGTON REDSKINS {4-9} - Last Week #28
That 2nd RD Pick {to the Jets} is starting to look pretty good again. Let's hope the Saints can make it look even better this week.
30. TAMPA BAY BUCS {3-10} - Last Week #32
When you have three teams like the Bucs, Lions and Raiders, all equally as dreadful, it's virtually impossible to distinguish the worst of the worst. So we'll try something more tangible henceforth, we'll analyze the #1 Overall Pick derby, and right now the Bucs are running third.
31. OAKLAND RAIDERS {2-11} - Last Week #31
The Raiders have a dangerous game this week, the Rams in their building, and this after the Rams were eliminated from contention on MNF, thus operating on a short week while knowing their season is over. I'd view this as a serious threat to our #1 Overall Pick aspirations if I was Al Davis. It might be time for Uncle Al to bust out his ace in the hole, like he did last year verses the Jets, QB Marques Tuiasosopo. JUST LOSE, BABY!!
32. DETROIT LIONS {2-11} - Last Week #30
Word has it RB Kevin Jones is done for the season. If that's true, it might be just enough to put Detriot over the top, or to assure they don't blow this thing {#1 Overall Pick} down the stretch. Though Al Davis could neutralize the loss of Jones with his ace in the hole {Tuiasosopo}, and that will bear watching?

Nikon D90 digital SLR cameraPrice: $1145 (save $400)If you're in the market for your first digital SLR camera, the Nikon D90 is still one of the best models out there. It's a 12.3-megapixel model that was released one year, and it was one of the first digital SLR cameras that could record video (at a high-definition resolution, no less). For keen videographers, it won't replace a camcorder, but if you only shoot the occasional holiday movie or backyard BBQ shenanigans, it will do nicely. It's available at Discount Digital Photographics in a couple of different kits, but the body on its own costs $1145, which is a saving of $400 off the original recommended retail price.

The liberal group Media Matters for America is questioning the ethics of ex-governor John Rowland and WTIC 1080 AM, the radio station that employs him as an afternoon talk-show host.
The ethical questions raised in the group\'s online article surround Rowland\'s $30,000 consulting contract in 2011 and 2012 with a nursing-home business owned by the husband of a Republican congressional candidate, Lisa Wilson-Foley — whose campaign, at the time, said that Rowland was assisting her on a volunteer basis.
However, a federal grand jury is investigating an allegation that Rowland\'s consulting arrangement with Wilson-Foley\'s husband, Brian Foley, was really an improper means of compensating Rowland for his assistance on Wilson-Foley\'s ultimately unsuccessful 2012 campaign in the 5th Congressional District. Rowland spent 10 months in federal prison after pleading guilty in December 2004 to corruption in office.
The Media Matters article blasts both Rowland and WTIC over the radio host\'s on-air criticism of one of Wilson-Foley\'s opponents during that campaign, eventual Republican nominee Andrew Roraback, without disclosing to his listeners that he was being paid by Wilson-Foley\'s husband\'s chain of nursing homes.
\"If in fact he\'s on the payroll for a candidate or a political cause and is not disclosing that, he is misusing the public trust by using a radio station to advocate for a candidate or a position there,\" Harvey Jassem, communications professor at the University of Hartford, says in the article.
\"That\'s, in my view, unethical. Part of the issue here is the radio station itself, which appears to be a mouthpiece for the Republican Part,\" Jassem is quoted as saying. \"He is entitled to promote his point of view, but if he is taking money to favor one cause or candidate over another then he has a responsibility to share his incentives, that he could be personally profiting from the public trust of public airwaves.\"
\"It certainly is an issue to have a host who had political connections in a way that were not public to continue to host,\" Richard F. Hanley, director of the Graduate Program in Journalism at Quinnipiac University in Hamden, says in the article. \"It is up to CBS Radio to make these decisions to keep him a host or have him clarify his political consultancy to keep him on the air, and let the audience decide if there is a personal ideology to the guests and the audience.\"
The article says that WTIC did not respond to requests for comment and Rowland could not be reached.
The Courant reported in Thursday\'s editions that Foley, the owner of Apple Rehab, has been cooperating with federal prosecutors, and has agreed, among other things, to testify about his arrangement with Rowland if the U.S. Attorney ultimately decides to make a case for federal campaign reporting violations, according to sources.
