The Pension Haves and the Have-Nots
By George Skelton, LA Times
Except for the super-rich, our financial well-being has become
chillingly shaky in the global economy and downright scary during the
great recession.
There's cheap labor overseas and job-killing technology at home.
Private-sector workers have been taking it on the chin for a decade or
more: Future pensions frozen for current employees and eliminated for
new hires; retirees at the mercy of risky 401(k) plans and Wall Street.
Plus layoffs and elimination of retiree health benefits.
Now it's the public sector's turn to suffer, in the eyes of many in
private enterprise. It's sort of an American civil war between
government and non-government families.
Krekorian Seeks Input on Neighborhood Empowerment
A survey on how to improve Los Angeles' policies toward neighborhood
councils was posted online today by Los Angeles City Councilman Paul
The survey focuses mainly on the finances, training and responsibilities of neighborhood councils.
"This survey is another vehicle through which the community can help
shape local empowerment," said Krekorian, who chairs the Education and
Neighborhoods Committee. "The feedback we get from this survey will form
the foundation of how we will improve local democracy and the
Department of Neighborhood Empowerment."
The survey is available on the councilman's blog, which can be found here. It will be up until March 22.
Hidden Fat to Pay for Libraries: 477 Mayor, Council Staffers
By Patrick Range McDonald and Mars Meinicoff, LA Weekly
Today, the mayor's and City Council's personal staffs together total 477 — more than President Barack Obama's White House office staff.
Meanwhile, the city's Quality and Productivity Commission hasn't
produced a report in years on how to make City Hall more efficient. But
the commission is busy. Its real job? Producing an annual QP Awards, broadcast on City Hall's public-access TV channel to give awards to city workers.
The libraries could be made whole via Measure L without public-safety
money, but Villaraigosa and the City Council have never attempted such a
discussion. The council members, who at $178,789 each are the highest
paid in the U.S., earning more than members of Congress, don't even know
the cost of their staffs.
Controversy Follows Union-backed Candidate Challenging Councilman Parks
By Beth Barrett, LA Weekly
Hogan-Rowles' public track record is fraught with controversy.
She was quietly forced from her appointment to the DWP Retirement Board
in 2009 by the mayor's office after the poverty program she runs
solicited and received $12,800 in donations from money managers who were
doing, or seeking to do, business with DWP.
L.A. Weekly learned of the incident from former DWP chief David Freeman
as it conducted interviews about Hogan-Rowles' five votes in favor of
DWP rate hikes when she sat on the utility's other board, the DWP Commission.
According to Freeman, who at the time was Villaraigosa's deputy mayor
for energy and the environment, "She solicited or obtained
contributions from people doing business with the Retirement Board, and
we didn't like the smell of it." He adds: "She resigned from the
Retirement Board at the request of the mayor's office."
Hogan-Rowles eventually also left her corollary post as a DWP commissioner — having missed 47 of the commission's 142 meetings.
She left a wake of criticism behind her.

Christmases Past
'Tis the season to remember
All the faces and the places that were home
'Tis the season to remember
And to count up all the ports of call I've known
Merry Christmas to my saints and guardian angels
Who protect me as I roam
Guess my life's moved at near light speed
Since I started this wild and crazy run
Such a long way from that first birthday
'Tis the season to remember
No we're never far from home
Merry Christmas, everyone
–"Merry Christmas, Alabama" by Jimmy Buffett
Our seven Christmases in Ireland, we could never bring ourselves to participate in one of Ireland's quirkiest festive traditions, what the Irish refer to as the "Christmas Day swim."
On Christmas morning, from beaches, piers, and coves around the country, people of all ages gather to immerse themselves in waters of around 50 degrees Fahrenheit (maximum).
"Swim" is a bit of a misnomer. There is no particular distance that you need to cover, nor any agreed-upon duration you must stay in the water. You simply join the crowd of people running toward and then into the water (cheered on by well-wrapped-up spectators), screaming as their bodies hit the ice-cold sea. A quick splash of the arms and legs, then back in to shore to dry off, wrap up, and enjoy a hot drink or a shot of whiskey.
Wetsuits have appeared on the scene in recent years, mostly among the kids, but it remains an unspoken rule among the hardy adults taking part: Traditional bathing suits only…
Our four Christmases in Paris were all about the lights. Each year, starting in November, Boulevard St. Germain, just a few blocks from our apartment in this city, is strung with tiny white lights. The trees, the building facades, they're covered with them. Each morning and again each evening as I'd walk Jackson, aged 4 through 8 at the time, to and from school, we'd linger at the intersection of rue du Bac and Boulevard St. Germain as long as possible, looking up and down, up and down, slowly, working to fix that magical view in our memories. "It's a fairy land," 4-year-old Jack declared it one morning. I see it still.
Twinkling lights and decorated shop windows. This time of year, storefronts throughout Paris are draped with pine garland, and shop windows are decorated with green trees flocked with white and trimmed with red and gold baubles. No one does shop windows like the French do shop windows, and no others compare with the shop windows of Paris at Christmastime.
This year, we're in Baltimore, celebrating the season with my family, remembering all the other parts of the world where we've found ourselves this special time of year in years past, and wondering where the coming New Year will lead us.
On behalf of the entire far-flung staff of Live and Invest Overseas, please accept our warm and heartfelt wishes for a Merry Christmas, wherever you're enjoying it this year, and our sincere hope that 2013 is the year your far-flung dreams of adventure overseas begin to come true.
All the best from our family to yours. We so much appreciate your coming along with us for this ride.

Tour de France Preview: Americans to Watch
- By Jason Sumner
- Published Jun. 24, 2011
- Updated Jun. 24, 2011 at 1:00 PM EDT
Ryder Hesjedal (Garmin-Cervélo)
In each of the last three Tours, a member Jonathan Vaughter's U.S.-based squad has managed to come up with a surprising GC result. Last year, that honor belonged to Canadian Hesjedal, who finished seventh in a season that also saw the former pro mountain biker win a stage at the Tour of California and finish second at the Amstel Gold Race.
Hesjedal's best result thus far in 2011 is a ninth at the Tour of the Basque Country, which could mean one of two things: he's dropped off some from 2010, or he's better timed his peak and will be even better at this year's Tour. The hunch here is the latter. Look for the British Columbian to snag a stage win and be in the mix for another top-10 finish.Pages: 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8

We do not get much snow over here in the UK. A few places like the North of the country and Scotland may get a few days when the roads are impassable for vehicles but a thaw sets in to get rid of most of the stuff or the snow ploughs get out and clear the major routes.
So why is it that as we have a cold spell hit the UK-the first one of the year- the news is filled with terrific snowfall in the country? Seems that the slightest bit of the white stuff and it is a major disaster.:twitchy: They have had enough snow in the wilds of Scotland to get the Ski Season under way early but that is why the Ski resorts are where they are. But just because overnight there has been a couple of inches of snow in the countryside in places I have never heard of does not mean that we have a major disaster about to happen. OK- The mums may have a few accidents in their 4x4's taking the kids to school but that does not mean that the authorities have fallen down once again and failed to keep the Roads open so that their kids have to get cold and miserable by using their legs for the purpose they were intended for and walk the 1/2 mile to school.
Rant over but can see a lot more "Snow" news coming up as we are in a cold spell right now. Won't go into the number of times I had to drive 20 miles to get home in over a foot of snow and ice covered roads just to make certain that I did not have to fork out for a hotel for the night.
Can't say I am looking forward to this winter as my foul weather tolerance has gone. 25F this morning and no snow but plenty of frost and Ice on the roads. It won't get above freezing till early afternoon and by then Rain is expected. The temps aren't due to rise much over the next few days so I have had to resort to bringing bikes indoors to check and adjust a few things on it. Have a new set of stickers to go on them and I will be setting these bikes up for the early training rides just after Christmas when the weather should be better. At least I know the crank and chains won't need any looking at so providing all goes right-I can get both finished by this afternoon.
Wonder how long it will be before I have to Hide the tool box before Oakley needs to repair his bike?

What do pandas and payday loans have in common?
They are the names of two Google algorithms which were confirmed as updated within the past week or so.
Although the internet is abuzz with the percentage of English search queries and specific sites affected, it may be hard to decipher why these algorithm updates matter.
Here is a rundown of key facts to get you caught up to speed on the very latest google algorithm updates: Panda 4.0 and Payday Loan 2.0.
Pandas are Pretty Vicious, Actually
What is the Google Panda Algorithm? This formula, brought to you by Google, targeted sites composed of spammy, low-quality pages. Junk articles, duplicate content and pages built specifically for SEO are also known as thin-content. The Panda Algorithm was meant to penalize poor web presences with thin content in order to unearth the real gems of the web.
Taming the Panda. Some webmasters noted that previous iterations of Panda penalized sites with great content, but that were unfortunately poorly put-together and hard for search spiders to crawl. These previously unlucky (or just unorganized) people may need a crash course in information architecture, but fortunately have bought more time as they reportedly saw a traffic uptick after Panda 4.0 last week.
On the other hand, agencies who are handed hot-mess websites without being able to perform a full overhaul of their construction are thanking their lucky stars right now. Which side are you on?
Unsure how to detect a Panda punch versus a Penguin penalty? Here's a great example of the kind of useful content Google loves, a guide to identify if you were been hit by Panda in 4 steps.
"Payday Loan" Hits Link Sharks
The payday loan update is of a little less importance to marketers for normal industries. It's meant to improve results for queries especially saturated with spammy results, like payday loans. Most of those hit by these penalties are actually out of the United States, and those in other industries with questionable objectives. (If you are a payday lender who at least practices white hat SEO, well... I guess it could be worse.)
Now, members of these industries will see some benefit from more "legitimate" search results pages.
Why You (or Your SEO) Should Welcome Updates
You and/or your agency should actually be happy about algorithm updates, if you are practicing good content marketing and clean, white hat SEO tactics centered on usability. Avoiding these are like competing clean in a sport like baseball. Your competitors could have been beating you for a while using steroids, but come drug testing time, the cat's outta the bag.
These algorithm updates are a lot like unplanned drug tests, which help knock the bad guys out of the top search results. However, working in a highly-competitive industry can make it very hard to resist using less than immaculate practices in order to get to the top rankings quickly.
How to Avoid Negative Impact from Algorithms
Whether you're the firm in charge of large clients' strategies, or you have an agency who presents you with a list of choices from pure white to shades of gray, remember ranking is always more of a marathon than a sprint. If you push too hard too early, or cut corners, Panda will come back to bite you eventually.
Playing nice, being creative with content, and keeping your site spotless will pay off in the long run when those sites sporting shades of gray get docked. Business owners reading this should use these tips to recognize an agency operating in line with industry standards.
Be patient; take the pressure off your SEO firm to deliver immediate results, or face the consequences!
Those who consistently provide:
- Unique content for your own site or relevant, expert articles written for others
- Valuable, interesting, or entertaining information
- Well-organized, easily navigable sites
Without implementing the following "black hat" tactics:
- Link baiting in spammy articles or buying links
- Keyword stuffing in content or meta data
- Using gateway or doorway pages only search engines can see
...should be good to go when the next algorithm strikes. Have you seen any effect on your SERP rankings in the past couple weeks? You are welcome to humblebrag about upticks in rankings in the comments below!

NXT tour
When he took over the brand, Triple H wanted to run NXT as if it were a separate company from WWE. Thus far, the results have been pretty good, as fans have enjoyed the product and performers have been intrigued enough by his vision and management style. Reports have now surfaced that HHH is thinking about taking the brand to another level by having them become more of a touring company, working shows outside of Florida.

Chyna induction
One of the topics discussed on the latest episode of the Steve Austin podcast show is the potential induction of Chyna into the WWE Hall of Fame. When asked about it, Triple H stated that he has nothing against her on a personal level. However, he feels that it would be difficult to induct her because when kids go online to search for information about her, they will be faced with a lot of porn related results on the search engine.

Early Influences
'Tis a countenance whose spell
Sheds balm over mead and dell.
Anonymous verse in Tom Clark's
Bryan Street High School yearbook, 1917
THE AFFECTION MY FAMILY FELT FOR TEXAS, especially during the years that followed our move east in 1937, was unstated but pervasive. It exhibited itself in small ways, such as my surprise at the age of eight or nine at learning that a favorite song, "The Eyes of Texas," was known to most people as "I've Been Working on the Railroad." My romantic perception of the state was based on secondhand knowledge rather than actual experience, for I was only four years old when my father, Tom Clark, left his private law practice in Dallas for a job in Washington, D.C., with the federal government. My brother, Ramsey, dubbed me the family's Yankee, a term that made me instinctively defensive without knowing exactly why.
I sensed a disadvantage at being somewhat less a Texan than other family members. Being a Texan was special. I felt a surge of pride when I responded "Texas" to the familiar question "And where are you from?"— never doubting that everyone shared my lofty esteem of the state. "Mimi looks like a Texan," my father would declare, and I would beam, understanding the significance of the compliment. Looking back, I realize my eastern friends could not have fully appreciated the tribute when my father told them they were "pretty enough to be a Texan."
Tom Clark was a Texan. Even his physical appearance, aided by the Stetson hats and jaunty bow ties he loved to wear, fit the popular image of how a Texan should look. The six-foot frame, lean for most of his life, was topped by a full, thick head of hair that was even more striking in his

"Dear Damon,
I received a letter from Debt Collections USA dated 2/23/11 that said they had been hired to peform a "billing service" (their quotation marks) for City Urgent Care for a total of $90. I am a resident of West Virginia and City Urgent Care is in West Virginia as well.
I sent them a letter on 3/14/11 disputing the billing service as I had no recollection of incurring any debt with City Urgent Care nor have I ever been billed or contacted.
Received an computer print of itemized statement in response. Showed I got a test on 05/05/04, AMOUNT $15 but AMT DUE $0.00. Statement then shows on 9/15/10 ESTABLISHED PATIEN and underneath BAD DEBT ADJUSTMENT CODE with AMOUNT $90 and AMT DUE $90.
Date on the print out is 04/29/11. Can send scanned copy of all correspendence if needed.
Is this debt still valid (or even real at all given the zero $ AMT DUE)? Has the statute of limitations expired?
Even if it has expired and cannot be collected, will it be reflected on my Credit Report?
What next steps do you recommend?
Hello Rolando,
It appears to me that they supplied you with the evidence you need to show you do not owe a bill. Have you ever received a collection call or letter prior to hearing from these guys in the last 7 years or so?
It sounds like there was a 15 dollar charge, but it could have been billed to your insurance and not to you as you know have a statement that shows you didn't owe anything.
When is the last time you pulled your credit report? Did you see this bill on there?
I would tell them that you paid the bill and the statement they gave you clearly shows their was no balance due. It sounds like this might be a mistake on their part.

Herman Cain's upset victory in the Republican Party of Florida's straw poll has political watchers wondering what happened; but the explanation is rather simple.
Before explaining the Cain factor, back up a few weeks to the Iowa straw poll where soon-to-be-former candidate Michele Bachmann won that state's less meaningful poll. But despite Iowa's "sold to the highest bidder" reputation, the win for Bachmann was an upset the more established candidates shouldn't have ignored. How does a wing-nut, fringe candidate with little money and even less sense appeal to enough people to win?
Although flawed, Iowa's straw poll can't be completely discounted as irrelevant. Creating a following takes money, and money only comes when people believe in something you are saying.
Bachmann's Iowa victory and brief moments in the limelight came because despite the fact that she's nuttier than a pecan pie, she communicates her rhetoric in a manner that is real. In other words, she believes her nonsense. And so did enough other believers who share her views and sent her some money.
But the frontrunners didn't believe that the believers are looking for someone who is also a believer. Translation: voters are looking for someone who calls a socialist president a socialist, not whatever euphemistic poll-tested answer Mitt Romney calls President Obama.
Mitt and Rick didn't get the post-Iowa message and continued operating their campaigns how their D.C. handlers told them to run.
Fast forward to last Thursday night at the GOP debate in Orlando. The two establishment candidates, Romney and Perry, engaged in little more than platitudes about their plans for the nation, and a few barbs at the other guy (or attempted barbs as in Perry's case) for good measure. Meanwhile, a few podiums to the right Herman Cain was delivering honest answers to serious questions.
The audience roared when Cain talked of his 9-9-9 plan for reforming the nation's tax code, and when he fingered establishment stooge Romney for failing to give a straight answer to the question about who on the stage he would consider worthy to be selected as his vice president.
Romney of course did everything right that night. He gave short, soundbite ready answers to most questions; he smiled uncomfortably when he didn't really want to smile; and he limited details of his ideas and referred voters to some obscure campaign manifesto that serves as good cover for having real plans and intellect in a TV-driven media environment. Yes, Romney did everything right -- if you like poll-tested soundbites and politicians who do everything the way it has always been done.
Enter Herman Cain
On the stage at the debate, nine people stood with scores of years of experience in elective office. Among them, Herman Cain was the only one who has never been elected to office. Not once. Never. Not even for the proverbial dog catcher. Herman Cain is not a career politician.
In fact, Cain's lack of experience is an asset, because despite their good intentions, every politician no matter the size, scope, or importance of the office is in some way, shape or form, corrupted by their power, however limited said power may be. That corruption serves to make them think they are invincible, above the law, and omnipotent. To make matters worse, while being corrupted, they get surrounded by people who worship them and tell them how good their bad breath smells, and they pass laws exempting themselves from the laws they make us live by -- like going through airport security for example (Congressmen are exempt).
Meanwhile the pollsters, political strategists and media consultants advise the candidates on everything from what color tie to wear, not to wear their expensive watch, what shoes to wear, how to smile (and when not to smile), how to walk, how to shake hands, when to look at your opponent during a debate (in Perry's case they must have told him never), and so on.
Somewhere during the how-to-appear sessions, they get briefed on what to say and how to say it. This boils down to bullet points on issues such as taxes, foreign policy and defense, Social Security, and education reform. "Zinger" lines like the one neophyte to the national stage Gary Johnson delivered on Thursday night (about his neighbor's two dogs creating more shovel-ready jobs than Barack Obama) are usually poll tested, practiced, refined and then practiced again and again so that they become as rote as Santa Clause saying "Ho! Ho! Ho!"
Johnson's line by the way, while true, wasn't exactly Johnson's line. According to Johnson, a radio station in his home state was soliciting zingers for Johnson to consider all week leading up to the debate. A creative listener sent in the "my neighbor's two dogs" line to the station which forwarded it and others to the Johnson campaign (which probably consists solely of Gary Johnson). He liked it and made it work. And the only thing different about Johnson and the line's "authenticity" or "in-authenticity " as the case may be, is Johnson was completely honest about how he got it. If Romney or Perry had delivered that line they would have never owned up to having gotten the line from a radio station listener.
In his delivery of the line, Johnson read most of it, but despite not being prepared to dish it out off the cuff, he found the right moment, and read it with great affect. Sometimes candidates can be over-practiced and rehearsed. This was the case with Rick Perry's failed attempt to nail Mitt Romney as the biggest flip-flopper in the GOP (which he is by the way).
The Cain difference
Understanding how it normally works helps understand why Herman Cain was so successful. He rejected a lot of the traditional advice candidates receive, and then take, while lying down like an obedient dog waiting for its master to drop a Milk Bone on the floor.
I'm not suggesting Cain doesn't have pollsters, consultants and people who think they know a lot more about how to get elected than he does on his staff. But the fact that he says, does, and delivers a lot more substance than fluff tells me Cain must have been one hell of a CEO who marched to his own drum -- and apparently a lot of GOP activists in Florida are itching for someone to represent them in the White House who isn't a polished, overly-coiffed, poll-tested Hollywood version of what a presidential candidate ought to look like.
There were two such individuals on the stage last Thursday night and thanks to Herman Cain, they're licking their wounds and trying to figure out how to be more like the Cain-ernator. Trouble is, voters would see through their bull when at the next debate if Mitt Romney's hair was what actually grey, not Grecian formula black. Or if Rick Perry's pollster told him voters prefer Mickey Mouse bedroom slippers over cowboy boots when on the campaign trail, guess what Rick Perry would be wearing at the next debate? Fortunately voters appear to be getting smarter.
Thanks for being the real deal Mr. Cain. That's why you won the straw poll.

I read the original book when first released, then watched the 3rd movie and felt the need to read the last book again, downloaded the audible and couldnt be more happier, was able to listen while driving in the car and doing work at home, absolutely happy with it, worth every cent
"Breaking Dawn"
Ilyana Kadushin is fantastic! I am a new fan.
one of the best book i've ever read listening to it on audible just makes it feel like the book is coming ALIVE!!!! great book i give it a 10/10!!!!
Hot romance/Sci Fi we're so lucky to have Audible to feed our book addictions. I love walking my precious dog Sydney & listening to my books
"One of my favouriates"
Love the whole series. The story keep you interested right the way through. A wonderful series that takes you out of reality for the time reading. Most enjoyable.
"Great Book!!!"
I'm a fan of the Twilight Saga and this was my first audiobook and I must say I just loved it so much, I couldn't stop listening to it at all. The narrator's did a great job! Only down sider would be that in some parts the chapters were dragged on a little bit but I blame that on the author and also the ending was something that I didn't expect at all.
After reading all 4 books now, I still have to say that the 1st book "Twilight" was and will forever be my favorite out of all 4 books!!!
"Great listen"
This was great. Love the series of books. Hope there will be another series just like this. Couldnt put it down. The outcome was not what I expected.
A great story with a nice finish.

What happened during week two on The Biggest Loser ranch? Find out what Francelina Morilla has to say in her exclusive blog below!
Red Line
AGAIN! When Alison Sweeney tells us we have to face another red line I get an adrenaline rush. You do not stand a chance at all against them, If you fall below it, you are going home, no questions asked. The red team did awesome week 1 at the weigh in and all I can think of is the infamous curse of week 2. It could be me going home next! I cannot let that happen! Right away the wheels in my brain are turning. I have to keep myself in here. I know I have to work even harder than last week and I'm thinking, "Is that even possible? It's going to be a LONG week".
Dolvett's Dungeon
As soon as I walk into it, I think, "Yeah, there isn't a chance we will be below that red line because this place looks insane." Jackson is not able to work out with us and I don't know whether to feel bad for him or happy that someone was spared! I'm thinking, "Awe my poor Jax." At the same time I'm like "Can I join him? Someone get me out of here."
Throughout the workout, I sometimes just laugh to myself in self-pity thinking, "I signed up for all this, I must be crazy!" Just when I thought that the red team had it bad with D, I can hear Jillian ripping into the white team and all of a sudden I feel extremely fortunate to have D (no offense Jill).
The workout is tough but immediately I see improvement in myself and in my teammates. I have a moment and I no longer just picture myself changed but I am able to picture them as well. Our entire lives are about to transform. The thought of this keeps me going through this workout and through the last chance workout. Dolvett is talking to us during the workout but my mind is far away. I'm thinking of all the things I gave up on because of my weight, all the things I thought I didn't deserve because I didn't feel good enough, I was thinking how I was going to fight for those things from here on—I was already changing. My transformation had begun.
Walking into the weigh-in I am 100% confident that as a team we did all we could. When the white team loses the weigh-in and we realize that Nathan is going home, we are all heart-broken. He says something that hits home. Nate says, "What I wouldn't give to stay." I find motivation and inspiration in his words. I don't think he even imagines how much of an impact he has had on me and how much it hurts to see him go. Seeing how bad he wanted to stay makes me appreciate once again how privileged I am to be here.
In just two weeks I have gone from 267 pounds to 242 pounds. I can't believe how excited I am about that accomplishment. Week 3 I am ready for you—so bring it on D!

The Refuge House and the legal services of north Florida have been working side by side for a few years. Now, both help battered victims gain strength against abusers. The two are tapping into their entrepreneurial skills to generate funds to keep this partnership alive.
Domestic violence is the leading cause of injury to women between the ages of 15 and 44 in Leon County. Hundreds acquire restraining orders each year for their protection, and just a few years ago those women would have to stand on their own in a county courtroom.
Since Legal Services of North Florida has stepped in, women are gaining ground against abusers having lawyers take over their battles.
In order to keep both programs alive, the cash flow needs to pick up, and both directors hope a thrift store will do the trick.
Dianna Sullivan manages the Apalachee store. She says it's been a rough 11 months, but they're hoping their newest addition, a boutique full of donated items from legal services, will help pick up the pace and eventually help keep these courtrooms empty.
A ribbon-cutting ceremony by the Chamber of Commerce marked the partnership Thursday morning. Money generated from the legal service's donations goes back to that service- and the refuge house gets the rest of the profits.
Also at Friday's ceremony was United Way of the Big Bend, which will receive a percentage of Friday's store sales.

Politics | Liberal blogger and Senate candidate Mickey Kaus needles the Obama administration over job offers
Liberal blogger Mickey Kaus concluded his unlikely challenge to unseat Sen. Barbara Boxer in the California Democratic primary Tuesday with a stunt: He listed the Obama administration jobs he would take in order to drop out of the race.
Kaus said he would accept the position of head of Immigration and Customs Enforcement, where he said he would build a physical fence along the border. He also said he would accept becoming the head of the National Labor Relations Board, where he "could oppose Big Labor's attempt to add to their dwindling memberships by avoiding secret ballots in union organizing drives." He would also accept a position at the Department of Education so he could push for reform of teachers' unions.
"Joke!" he noted at the bottom of his press release.
The proposition from the self-described neoliberal journalist popularly known for his Kausfiles blog came as news emerged recently that the White House had offered administration jobs to two Democratic candidates who were challenging Obama-backed candidates. Rep. Joe Sestak, D-Pa., who defeated Sen. Arlen Specter in last month's Pennsylvania Democratic primary, admitted that the White House, through former-President Bill Clinton, offered him an unpaid spot on a presidential panel if he would drop out of the primary. Then news broke that the White House had offered former Colorado House Speaker Andrew Romanoff his choice of three administration posts at the U.S. Agency for International Development (USAID) if he would end his primary challenge of Sen. Michael Bennet. He declined also, and the vote is set for August.
While neither of the job offers appears to have been illegal, they demonstrated a White House that plays ugly politics-and refused to admit it. White House press secretary Robert Gibbs faced questions about the Sestak job offer beginning in February. Even as Sestak himself stated that the White House had offered him a job, the administration didn't acknowledge it until the end of May.
Boxer may have a tough reelection battle ahead of her depending on who wins the Republican primary, which is a three-way race between former Rep. Tom Campbell, former head of Hewlett-Packard Carly Fiorina, and state assemblyman Chuck DeVore. Fiorina led the most recent polls, which is a turnaround, but the more moderate Campbell likely has a better shot at defeating Boxer in a general election.
Kaus has used his campaign against Boxer to splash attention on issues like the backroom job offers. He was always a long shot to beat Boxer-he barely has any campaign staff or money-but because of his online following he drew media attention. As evidenced in his job picks above, Kaus disagrees with several tenets of the Democratic policy platform, and he has maximized that iconoclast image in this race.
"On second thought, I'll stick with contested elections and democratic debate," he wrote in his press release. "It's the only thing they are scared of."

Potty Mouth
Great ideas begin in the bathroom. For Kirk Lynn, the playwright in residence for the Austin, Texas, theater company the Rude Mechs (formerly the Rude Mechanicals), the W.C. was where he kept his copy of Lipstick Traces: A Secret History of the 20th Century, cultural critic Greil Marcus's 1989 exploration of the links between subversive cultural movements like dada, punk rock, situationism, gnosticism, and lots more.
"It's the kind of book that's great to dip into, because you can just read parts of it at random," Lynn explains of the book's exalted station, speaking over the phone from his Austin home. In 1998 the Rude Mechs decided to turn Lipstick Traces into a play, forcing a slightly more disciplined, cover-to-cover study of the text. Lynn says, "We finished reading the book only after we decided we'd do it onstage."
The stage version of Lipstick Traces, which the Rude Mechs will perform Thursday, January 17 through Saturday, January 19 at the Walker Art Center, both distills and expands on Marcus's work. At one end Dr. Narrator (Lana Lesley), the play's learned emcee, rattles off "the 20th Century in four minutes and thirty seconds," over the yowl of an old Slits track--Marcus's expansive narrative style collapsed into a headlong charge the length of a pop song. At the other end, the play's re-creations of the Cabaret Voltaire (the Zurich nightclub that hosted dada's first incarnations) and Johnny Rotten's audition for the Sex Pistols (he mimes Alice Cooper's "Eighteen" as it plays on a jukebox) flesh out scenes that occur in the book as events in passing, objects of speculation.
Other moments, like the heart-stopping slow dance between Rotten and Catholic heretic John of Leyden--to the Orioles' "It's Too Soon to Know"--take Marcus's what if questioning to poetic extremes. In a similar spirit, the Rude Mechs put French situationist Guy Debord and dadaist Richard Huelsenbeck on the couch along with Lydon in a reenactment of a notorious talk-show appearance in which the Pistols scandalized England by saying "fuck" on national television.
"One of the things we struggled with is that there's so much in the book," says Lynn. "Like the [Paris] student riots in 1968: You can't have a riot with five people onstage without looking ridiculous. So we ended up referencing it instead. But part of the fun of reading Lipstick Traces is the wild leaps [Marcus] makes, and we wanted to have these historical actors actually talking to each other onstage. Like having Huelsenbeck and Debord on The Bill Grundy Show. Given the opportunity to get on TV, they wouldn't want to give a broad political statement that might get misinterpreted. They'd just want to say the word fuck. There's a mischievous streak that goes with that sort of intelligence."
That mischievousness is hardly lost on the book's author. "The most shocking thing was to see a 500-page book turned into a 70-minute comedy--and to find a spirit I'd always reached for, but never quite achieved, captured from beginning to end in a theatrical production," says Marcus via e-mail. "After I saw the play for the first time, in Austin, I told the director, Shawn Sides, that she'd staged the book I'd wanted to write."
Apparently the feeling is mutual. "After the first performance of the play, Greil and the cast were sitting around, and the conversation turned to stories about meeting really famous people," Lynn says. "Lana Lesley told this story of meeting Gloria Steinem as a young child, having a photograph of herself sitting on [Steinem's] lap. And Gavin Mundy, who played Guy Debord, told Greil, 'Well, meeting you is sort of like that.' And Greil, deadpan, looked him in the eye and said, 'Do you want to sit on my lap?'"

The O.C. and Gossip Girl creator Josh Schwartz was the first writer hired to adapt the screenplay for X-Men: First Class, but once Bryan Singer was brought on board to direct the movie, Singer put Jamie Moss (Street Kings) in charge of writing another screenplay based on a new treatment that Singer wrote himself. So what happened to Schwartz's draft? Schwartz explained to MTV what happened to his work on First Class.
I finished my draft. Bryan Singer came onboard the movie, who's the best possible guy to direct the X-Men movies, and he wanted to make a very different kind of movie, and he's Bryan Singer. If he wants to make an X-Men movie, they make his X-Men movie. But it was a great experience and it was an honor to work on it.
As for what his draft detailed, Schwartz was not allowed to say.
I cannot. It's on lockdown. Sworn to secrecy. I swear to god. There's a sniper with a gun pointed at me from across that building.
If the comics provide any clue, the movie should be about the early days of the X-Men as they learn to use their powers at Professor Xavier's Institute. Singer has revealed that the movie will include some of the X-Men from the movies and a "great villain."

Leaders from 38 Lutheran churches in Europe said in May that "increasing indebtedness, rising unemployment rates especially among the young, and diminished communal resources have caused an increased demand in social and diaconal services."
They said Europe's Lutherans must rely more on volunteers, but carry out rich diaconal work in such places as Amsterdam, Netherlands, where a congregation opens its doors to neighbors for community and friendship; Baden-Baden, Germany, and Budapest, Hungary, where church artisans sell their works to raise money for food and medicine for the poor; and Riga, Latvia, where those in need receive 2,000 meals a week.

Newegg.ca Sales? Black Friday? Cyber Monday? Boxing Day?
I'm looking to pick up a few things from Newegg Canada but sale season is approaching so I thought I might wait a month or two if it'll save me a few bucks (I'm slowly running out of HDD space). I'm just wondering if Newegg usually has sales for any of the big sale days like Black Friday, Cyber Monday or Boxing day and if so which ones?

In Memory of
Eileen H. Gardner
October 6, 1921 - April 6, 2012
Eileen Gardner passed away peacefully while surrounded by immediate family on April 6th, 2012 at Emerald Heights Retirement Community in Redmond, Washington. She was 90.
Eileen Helen Marshall was born in Lambert, Montana on October 6, 1921 to Clarence M. and Mabel E. Marshall. She lived in Sidney, Montana with her family and attended Sidney High School where she showed appreciation for Music and graduated in 1939. After graduation Eileen worked as a bookkeeper in a local dentist office, until moving to Seattle, Washington in 1942.
Eileen moved to Seattle in 1942 where she married George Murl McCoy. He died in December 23, 1944 at the Battle of the Bulge.
Eileen worked a brief time for The Boeing Company in 1944. With an ambition to pursue a business related degree, she enrolled at the Griffin Murphy Business College. While attending classes, she met Bob Thayer Gardner of Kirkland, Washington in 1946. Eileen worked at the Junior Boot Shop for the next year or so until after his graduation from college.
Eileen and Bob were united in marriage on June 19, 1948. Over the next almost 40 years, they shared the blessing of raising three children. Bob died shortly after his retirement in 1985.
Not many years afterwards, Eileen accepted an invitation to tour a new retirement community to become built in Redmond, Washington. Realizing that her health never recovered after her late husband's death, she made a decision to sell her condominium and move to what is now Emerald Heights Retirement Community.
She treasured family gatherings, with special pride in the accomplishments of her children and granddaughter. She also enjoyed music, gardening, dancing, and shopping. Although considered even more a home body in later years, Hawaii always remained her favorite vacation spot.
Eileen is survived by her daughter Nancy Eileen Gardner Boone (and husband Tom) of Carnation, Washington, son Bob Thayer Gardner, Jr. of Shelton, Washington, sister Ruby Mae Zieske of Great Falls, Montana, sister Sharon Marlene Greenwood (and husband Gary) of Moore, Montana, brother Donald J. Marshall (and wife Betty) of Billings, Montana, brother Darrell Lee Marshall (and wife Florine) of Soldotna, Alaska and only granddaughter Lesley Marie Gardner (and mother Renae) of Mount Vernon, Washington.
She was preceded in death by her husband, Bob T. Gardner, son Ray D. Gardner, brother, Clarence Marshall, Jr., and sister Dorothy Louise Dooley.
Services will be private. Memorial contributions can be made in her name to the Emerald Heights Benevolence Fund at 10901 -176th Circle NE in Redmond, Washington 98052 or a charity of your choice.

Kim Kardashians Daughter North West Gets Showered With Designer Duds For Valentines Day (Photos)Joanna Mazewski
Kim Kardashian's daughter North West has got to be the luckiest little 8-month-old celebrity tot in Hollywood (well, not that there's a lot of competition out there for her). The Kardashian family's youngest member received uber luxurious dresses from the world's most sought-after designers as gifts for Valentine's Day.
Proud mama Kim showed off the designer duds, which included a cream-colored dress from Oscar de la Renta, a Kenzo sweater, and a grey t-shirt with her famous mommy's picture on it from Carine Roitfield. Her dress from Roberto Cavalli is also simply to die for!
But hey, when you're daddy mingles with the biggest fashion powerhouses in Paris, getting presents like these is really no big deal, right? It's kind of like me and that expired feeling I now get whenever an Amazon purchase is delivered at my door. Been there, done that!
And yes, North West is definitely the best dressed tot in the celebrity world, and not just on Valentine's Day, but everyday as well!
Check out the photos below and let us know what you think.

Slice of Life pizzeria to take over former Rhino Club
Published: Tuesday, October 1, 2013 at 5:03 p.m.
Last Modified: Tuesday, October 1, 2013 at 5:03 p.m.
Slice of Life pizzeria owner Ray Worrell saw the for-sale sign the day it went up at the former Rhino Club at 125 Market St.
His office window view from across the street looks directly at the building.
"I had to have it," he remembers saying to himself almost a year ago. "I've wanted to own a building."
The historic building, along with an adjoining lot, will soon become the new location of Worrell's downtown Slice of Life operation after he bought the building in June.
The building has stood vacant since 2011 when the Rhino Club had its liquor license revoked following the fatal stabbing of 19-year-old Taaron Quintel Jones outside the club.
Since getting keys in hand, Worrell has worked to gut the entire building with friend Andrew Rojeck, and he said he is now ready to rebuild. He noted it is one of the oldest buildings in the area, built in 1841 as a Masonic temple.
"I love the historic charm of it," he said. "We wanted to bring the building back to life."
As he walked through the brick building's 2,500-square-foot interior Tuesday, he noted there will be significantly more room than across the street. It will have about 55 seats, a bar and access to an outdoor patio. The patio is to be built on the adjoining 4,800-square-foot lot sometime after he opens the relocated Slice of Life in March.
The second floor will house his new office as well as apartments. The third floor will be turned into an apartment marketed to those in the film industry.
The restaurant interior will be similar to his downtown Slice of Life operation at 122 Market St., he said.
"We are going to copy as much as we can," Worrell noted.
Nonetheless, the dining room will be more accessible to families, with low-seated tables instead of bar-height ones.
"The big thing we found ... was we weren't family-friendly," he said.
