McNeil-Lehrer's Gwen Ifill interviewing Mary Peters, U.S. Secretary of Transportation:
I just got a email from the Bike League of America on this. Here is a copy of the letter they sent out.
"A good traveler has no fixed plans, and is not intent on arriving."
- Lao Tzu (570-490 B.C.) -
Thanks randya. I think to a certain extent, she's right, if those "bike paths" are MUPs designed for recreation. True, you can ride on them for transportation, but I would consider a "bike path" or a "bike highway" more transportation-oriented than an MUP.
I don't think what I'm saying is what she meant by saying bike paths are not "transportation related," though.
Can this thread and the one on the same subject entitled At the Top be merged, please?

Sorry, should have been Trouble at the Top
More appropriate, really, since she seems to be in a bit of a spin

I received an e-mail from The League of American Bicyclists regarding a recent interview by Mary Peters the Secretary of Dept of Transportation. Here is what they wrote:
League Responds to U.S. Transportation Secretary's comments on PBS
Transportation Secretary Mary Peters talks about infrastructure problems and travel initiatives. More Info
Peters cited "bicycle paths" as a prime example of the waste
Last night on the PBS NewsHour with Jim Leher, DOT Secretary Mary Peters was interviewed by Gwen Ifill.
Peters, when asked about a possible gas tax increase, repeated President Bush's response - No, there can be no tax increase because Congress is wasting the money they already get. Peters cited "bicycle paths" as a prime example of the waste because bicycles are not a transportation use of the gas tax money.
It is disappointing that the administration is attacking Jim Oberstar for his efforts to get the Minneapolis bridge repaired along with raising all the funding for transportation maintenance, by using Oberstar's support for bicycles as a weapon.
The League of American Bicyclists feels strongly that this should not go without a response and we have sent a letter to Secretary Peters voicing our view. Click here to view our response.
For those of you who feel strongly about bicycling issues, we would also urge you to contact the Secretary to share your personal viewpoints.

From the transcripts:
"GWEN IFILL: Aren't many of those projects, even though they're special interest projects, aren't they roads and bridges, often?
MARY PETERS: Gwen, some of them are, but many of them are not. There are museums that are being built with that money, bike paths, trails, repairing lighthouses. Those are some of the kind of things that that money is being spent on, as opposed to our infrastructure."
"GWEN IFILL: Who is spending the money inappropriately?
MARY PETERS: Well, there's about probably some 10 percent to 20 percent of the current spending that is going to projects that really are not transportation, directly transportation-related. Some of that money is being spent on things, as I said earlier, like bike paths or trails. Some is being spent on museums, on restoring lighthouses, as I indicated."
I just thought I'd share with you guys what the gov't thinks about our mode of transportation. I'm going to send a response myself as soon as I get it written up. Or I could just copy the Leagues response and sign it.
"Of all the things I like bestos, I like asbestos." - A co-worker
I agree with the secretary. Like it or not bicycles are not a means of transportation in the US. What percentage of Americans commute? I don't have the number but I am sure it is not very many. Bicycles in the US are a means of fun and fitness. Like it or not, that's the way it is. Go ahead and flame me.....I care not.

I'm not here to flame anyone. This is to inform people who are into cycling and commuting by bicycle. If you don't care about alternatives then that is your prerogative.

of course bikes are a means of transportation in the US. And in order to increase bicycle use, it doesn't have to be a matter of billions of dollars invested in new infrastructure, as it does when trying to increase car use. There are many cities in the USA which are known for their bicycle friendliness, and there's nothing inherently bike friendly about their location or topography, it's a matter of will power, and a forward thinking municipality. ...it's too bad as a society we see every public work which is not "fighting" something (drugs, terrorism etc) as a "waste of taxpayer money". A network of bike paths connecting a city from corner to corner is something which the head of the DOT should certainly be in favor of...not just something to use as a talking point against a meager 5 sent gas tax. Shameful.
Surly Cross Check Commuter
A Bush appointee and graduate from Phoenix on-line "University" is not valid qualification for having bone-headed opinions. Truly regrettable and which we can rue is the fact she determines administration policy in her department and through this expresses warped political policy. The incompetence of this administration, like mold, extends into and so rots society.
Bikes are technically a means of transportation, but not to anywhere near the degree of use that would make considering them as such logical when spending gas tax money on infrastructure.
Gas tax money should be spent on infrastructure for vehicles that burn gas, that's fair.
GWEN IFILL: No, but I mean -- I guess I mean is for the part that they asked for where they would essentially charge commuters coming into Manhattan eight dollars a head.
MARY PETERS: What we approved was the project that they would pursue, congestion relief, pricing techniques to pursue congestion relief in New York City
this congestion process gives them the ability to get out of being stuck in traffic, to make the air cleaner, to use less fuel, to create a better environment in their city, I think it's a great idea."
Somehow we need to reduce the amount of people driving vehicles into cities to reduce congestion and make the air cleaner.
Anybody have any ideas?
What really irks me about her comments is how she seems to emphasize that bike paths are eating away from the monies needed to build our infrastructure. On the other hand her boss, our president, is doing things like this:
"When President Bush signed the Revised Continuing Appropriations Resolution, FY 2007 (P.L. 110-5) on February 15, 2007, it included a directive to the Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) to order states to surrender $3.471 billion in highway program funds, by relinquishing funds from state "unobligated program balances." This is the largest single rescission in the history of the federal transportation program, an amount that is nearly as large as the total of the three rescission orders ($3.845 billion) executed during the last fiscal year (FY'06)."-http://www.transact.org/updates/Rescission_Update.doc
Bike paths do not take 10% of the funds. Its only a part of that 10% and actually costs only 1% of it. Yet her comments make it seem like the highway programs are not being done because all the money is going to special interest projects only.
Gah, I can't wait for this administration to get out of office.
EDIT: I wonder where all these money is actually going. The "war" maybe. Just MHO.
"Of all the things I like bestos, I like asbestos." - A co-worker
"Real wars of words are harder to win. They require thought, insight, precision, articulation, knowledge, and experience. They require the humility to admit when you are wrong. They recognize that the dialectic is not about making us look at you, but about us all looking together for the truth."
While my understanding of the matter may be weak, I don't see why Federal funds would go to bike paths. Federal funds for the national defense highway system (Interstates) and for Federal highways makes sense. That's a national concern relating to the common good and to the common defense. In contrast, the overwhelming majority if not all but a very few paths serve a local audience not involved in interstate commerce. I'm surprised Federal funds go to bike paths at all, except as reasonable add-ons to Federal highway projects. For example, adding provisions for bicycle travel across bridges seems necessary to meet possible (I hope they're there) requirements not to unduly impede vehicles.
Given the way the Feds tend to handle things, I'm not sure having Federal involvement and control over more things than necessary would be particularly helpful. Simply looks like a way to have $2M/mile bike paths supported by 10,000 lbs/mile of paperwork.
I have to agree that Bike paths are not for transportation. At least the ones I have seen. They don't go where I need to go. They tend to go from neighborhood to neighborhood and not to places of work, shopping centers, or schools. They are useless and a waste of money!
It's funny that the only real bike path around here is so packed with folks going nowhere it's almost useless, regardless of the fact that it goes nowhere and no one uese it for transportation.
While I am a transportational rider and have been for several decades, I can see a need for bike paths that are primarily recreational. People need places to get out and have some fun just as much.
Perhaps it would benefit cyclists if the government applied stricter criteria for selection of which bike path projects should be funded with transportation money?
For instance, a paved rail-trail that connects with a transportation hub or major employment center might be prioritized over an equestrian-and-jogger-friendly soft-surface trail in a rural area. Or a bike/ped bridge over a freeway to reconnect a community severed by the motor vehicle facility (offsetting its direct impact) might be prioritized over a bridge to carry a recreational trail over a river.
The biggest problem I see is that those who are attempting to obtain transportation funding for recreational trails, particularly long, contiguous paths wherever they can obtain them, are better organized (and better funded by their own trail-related businesses and NGOs) than those of us who support the creation of shorter urban short-cut paths to provide convenient new connections and alternate routes where they are most useful for utility cycling.

Vern Holbrook died over the weekend, eight months after he was attacked. Four suspects are already charged with attempted murder and assault. An autopsy will determine if Holbrook's death was connected to his original injuries. If that's the case, the charges could be raised.
Holbrook's granddaughter, Shaunda Holbrook, spoke with KIMA about her family's loss.
"He loved not only his family, but his community, his friends, his neighbors, his employees. I can't see a life that he didn't encounter that he didn't touch in some way or another just by his giving-ness. He loved to give to people."
Holbrook was found badly beaten with his throat slit in a Cowiche home he was trying to sell. His former daughter-in-law is charged in the case. Police believe she was upset Holbrook stopped giving her money and that she helped plan the attack on the 78-year-old.

The young art-house outfit Music Box Films experienced its first ranking atop the iWBOT with "Tell No One," director Guillaume Canet's thriller about a husband who learns his long-murdered wife may somehow be alive. "Tell No One" earned $248,674 in its sophomore weekend from 19 runs; outperforming nine specialty debuts. Premiering on the big screen 47 years after it was made, "The Exiles," the late filmmaker Kent Mackenzie's drama about young Native Americans living in downtown Los Angeles' Bunker Hill neighborhood, earned $8,448 from its exclusive debut at New York's IFC Center. "Days and Clouds," Italian director Silvio Soldini's marriage-in-crisis drama for Film Movement, was close behind with $16,707 in weekend earnings from two New York engagements. Rounding out the iWBOT top five, which ranks films by per-screen average, were "August," director Austin Chick's drama for First Look Studios, featuring Josh Hartnett as a dot-com entrepreneur in crisis and filmmaker Jonathan Levine's '90s nostalgia comedy for Sony Pictures Classics, "The Wackness."
The iWBOT is based on per-theater averages reported by Rentrak Theatrical, the complete indieWIRE BOT weekly chart is available at indieWIRE.com.
Nine specialty films made midsummer debuts this weekend, generating success and disappointment equally. The summer season's biggest surprise belonged to Music Box Films' French-language thriller "Tell No One." Starring Francois Cluzet as a grieving husband who believes his long-ago murdered wife may still be alive, "Tell No One" shot to the top of the iWBOT in its second week with a $13,088 per-screen average from 19 engagements. Just the third release for Music Box Films, "Tell No One," has earned an impressive $549,840 in cumulative box office and has brought welcome attention to the fledgling, Chicago-based film outfit. "As for how "Tell No One" impacts Music Box Films, we obviously prefer hit films and this release should improve out profile with international sales agents and exhibitors," said Ed Arentz, managing director and co-founder, Music Box Films. "But the real challenge is enduring and building a sustainable business. To that end, "Tell No One" and in their own way "OSS 117" and "Tuya's Marriage" have been a great start." Arentz confirmed an aggressive platform schedule for the French thriller with 80 screens by July 25 and as much as 100 screens by August; by far the widest Music Box release yet.
"The Exiles," late director Kent Mackenzie's 1961 drama about one night in the hard-knock lives of Native Americans living in Los Angeles' Bunker Hill neighborhood, was the top debut on the iWBOT with earnings of $8,448 for Milestone Films from its exclusive, big- screen premiere at New York's IFC Center. "We started the company and keep on going for the purpose of introducing audiences to great films from a while panoply of filmmakers, countries, genres and times," said Amy Heller, president, Milestone Films. "If we are convinced that a film is a masterpiece, we trust others, critics, bloggers, cinephiles and filmgoers will be able to recognize its worth - if we do our part." Heller confirmed a mix of upcoming play dates between commercial art houses, film societies and museums including The Castro in San Francisco on August 1 and UCLA August 15. "Screen time is very tough to find but we are planning a leisurely roll out because some markets prefer to go in the fall when local universities are in session," Heller continued. "But we keep costs down by starting with a small number of prints and as the video distributors of the film, we have the luxury of setting our own timetable. I do want to stress that "The Exiles" is neither a reissue nor a revival. While it's great to see an art house classic for the fifth or sixth time on screen, it something altogether more thrilling to discover a never-before-seen film, whether it was filmed in 1958 or 2008."
Director Silvio Soldini's drama "Days and Clouds," about an Italian couple who separate after the husband loses his job, earned $16,707 for Film Movement from two New York runs; comparable to the outfit's previous foreign-language release "The Grocer's Son."
Director Austin Chick's sophomore drama "August," featuring Josh Hartnett as a dot-com executive whose company is in a financial tailspin, earned $8,092 for First Look Studios from an exclusive New York debut.
Expanding to 31 screens in its second week, "The Wackness," director Jonathan Levine's coming-of-age comedy for Sony Pictures Classics, collected $217,105 in weekend grosses as one of the top four specialty earners. But the '90s-set comedy, featuring former Nickelodeon star Josh Peck as a high school grad and Ben Kingsley as his psychiatrist, dropped 75% in per-screen average to $7,003. It cumulative earnings has reached $471,354.
Debuting in the iWBOT top ten were the ThinkFilm documentary "Roman Polanski: Wanted and Desired," director Marina Zenovich's look at the film director's public conviction in Los Angeles for unlawful sex with a minor and his flight from the United States. "Roman Polanski" earned $4,613 at New York's Quad Cinema. "The Stone Angel," director Kari Skogland's adaptation of Margaret Laurence's 1964 novel about an elderly woman reminiscing about her colorful life, earned $31,883 from seven engagements in New York, Minneapolis, LA and Washington DC. City Lights Pictures collected $10,300 from three runs of its family comedy "Harold," starring Spencer Breslin as a teen with premature baldness. Reaching the 11th spot on the iWBOT was "Full Battle Rattle," directors Jesse Moss and Tony Gerber's documentary about Army recruits training at a simulated Iraq village in California's Mojave Desert. "Full Battle" earned $3,216 in weekend ticket sales for Mile End Films from its exclusive debut at New York's Film Forum and $7,158 since its July 9 opening.
Despite the star presence of Catherine Zeta-Jones and indie vet Guy Pearce, director Gillian Armstrong's Houdini drama "Death Defying Acts" debuted outside the iWBOT top twenty with a meager $1,781 per- scr average for Third Rail Releasing from two exclusive debuts in New York and Los Angeles. Further behind was "Garden Party," director Jason Freeland's drama for Roadside Attractions about young adults chasing their drams in Los Angeles. "Garden Party," boasting an attractive cast, sexy situations and cool music, managed only $11,050 from seven debut runs in New York, Los Angeles, Portland and Seattle.
Picturehouse's "Mongol," Russian filmmaker Sergei Bodrov's epic drama about the boy, who becomes Mongol Empire founder Genghis Khan, continued to be the specialty earnings leader with $532,439 in weekend gross from 252 screens. "Mongol" surpassed $4.3 million in total box office, right behind the season's top performer, "The Visitor," filmmaker Tom McCarthy's acclaimed drama about a lonely professor befriending a Syrian street musician, which has earned $8.5 million after 14 weeks for Overture Films.
Steve Ramos is a Cincinnati based writer.

Patient Experience Award
Outstanding Patient Experience Award™
2016, 2014
The Outstanding Patient Experience Award™ recognizes hospitals for providing outstanding patient experience based on 10 measures related to doctor and nurse communication, hospital cleanliness and noise levels, and medication and post-discharge care instructions. The award is based on the Hospital Consumer Assessment of Healthcare Providers and Systems (HCAHPS) patient survey data from the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS).
Healthgrades Quality Ratings
Healthgrades quality ratings tell you how well patients fared during their hospital stay in terms of mortality, complications, and other quality measures.
Healthgrades objectively evaluates hospital quality by measuring the actual and predicted number of patients who experienced complications or died during their hospital stay for a specific procedure or treatment.
Healthgrades designates hospitals with 5 stars (better than expected), 3 stars (as expected), or 1 star (worse than expected) based on their performance in specific conditions and procedures.
Your risk of complications and death from your treatment can be significantly lower at hospitals with a 5-star rating for the specific condition or procedure.
If you need medical care in one of the procedures or conditions we rate, consider a hospital with a 5-star rating for the specific care that you need.
Five minutes with this information could save your life. Taking the time to carefully review a hospital's performance is critical to your health—statistics show that it can mean the difference between life and death.
Before choosing a hospital, think carefully about the services you might need and do your research.

Is community banking dead?
Regents Bank's Sefton forges ahead in difficult times by focusing on needs of local businesses
In a different time period — let's say the 1950s to the 1970s — a business owner's best friends were his banker, his CPA, his insurance provider and his attorney. They also acted as his independent advisory board.
Steve Sefton is re-creating and keeping that community banking legacy alive and forging ahead in one of the most difficult times that community banks have ever experienced.
Sefton is president and CEO of San Diego-based Regents Bank, one of only about 16 community banks left in the county. (San Diego was home to about 22 community banks in 2011 and 50 in 1985, according to the California Department of Financial Institutions).
Founded in 2001 and based out of La Jolla, Regents Bank — which has experienced its own consolidations — serves small to mid-size businesses and offers commercial business loans, real estate financing, depository products, corporate cash management, international banking and private banking services.
The bank — which has other offices in downtown San Diego, Escondido and Vista, as well as Vancouver, Wash. — also provides strategies and solutions to small-business owners through its consultative banking service. Since its recent acquisition of California Community Bank and merger with Grandpoint Capital, Regents Bank has more resources to play in this competitive market.
For Sefton, who joined Regents Bank in 2012, this business is not really about selling more banking products; it's about helping business owners grow their companies and solve problems. Sefton, a 28-year banking veteran, recently spoke with the U-T about the past, present and future of community banking.
Q: What is the difference between a community bank and a megabank such as Chase Bank?
A: Big banks try to offer everything to everyone and have a worldwide presence — they do loans and deposits for consumers and businesses, mortgage underwriting, provide insurance, wealth management, etc. for individuals, businesses and multinational corporations.
Community banks are specialized and very local; we are defined by a regional footprint. My bank is focused on local businesses and their owners, with less emphasis on retailers and consumers, which can be better handled in the high-volume environment the bigger banks offer. Our decisions are made here locally, not in some distant corporate office in another state. Most business owners I work with want to sit down with their banker on a regular basis. We offer a unique brand of consultative banking by walking clients through crucial financial and company decisions.
Q: What does Regents Bank's typical customer look like?
A: We're focused on a local owner-managed company with $5 million to $100 million in sales.
Half of our banking relationships are businesses (companies who make or distribute products or services) and the other half is all things real estate.
In San Diego, we have some very strong specialties in health sciences, old -fashioned manufacturers that are bending metal and making tangible products, and a host of business-to-business service companies.
Even though a business is local to San Diego, its footprint may be international, so while we are a local community bank, our capability is national and international, because that's where our clients take us.
Q: How are community banks surviving in a market dominated by the big guys?
A: Even though we are a locally focused bank, our services need to be quite sophisticated. We are competing against the national banks like Wells Fargo, Chase and Bank of America.
We need to have the cutting edge of every product out there to enable our clients to access their funds in the most sophisticated ways. We offer mobile banking, remote deposit capture and provide foreign currency along with domestic and international wires in all currencies.

I'm going to be Going Road in the next month or so, and I'm trying to figure out what I want.
I think I have decided on a Felt F85 in red. However, I'm not so sure about the microshift shifters that come on it. I haven't read very many good reviews of them. Maybe I'm not looking hard enough, but eh.
So, if I got that bike, would it make sense to swap the shifters, cassette and RD (I want the 11-32 10sp.) to Apex? Or, would I be better off finding something that came with Apex to begin with?
Felt seems to have a good price point and mix of parts. (Plus, I really think its a pretty bike.) Anything else that I've been able to find has been up in the $15-1600 range.
Is it possible to order a bike with the parts you want or are you stuck with stuff you don't want, to try to hock on Ebay? How likely are LBS going to be to give you value for "new" components?

I am on the 17 Day Diet and always looking for something sweet so this low fat, low carb, low sugar pudding stood out to me, and it was very good after I tweaked it a bit... My first try was a fail, I cut the recipe in half and used fat free cottage cheese instead of ricotta. The pudding was more like a thick soup rather than pudding. The second time(recipe still in half), I used fat free cream cheese(softened) instead of ricotta, 6 packets of truvia, and a whole envelope of gelatin (if making the full recipe I recommend 2 envelopes of gelatin). Delicious! Perfect consistency, sweetness, and texture. Just what I was looking for. Added warm sugar free choc. syrup to top and made a decadent desert. The warmed preserves is also wonderful!
It was very good, but I'll reduce the amount of sugar next time.
So creamy and delicious. I did use regular 1/2 and 1/2 though as well as regular sugar. The cold pudding with warm jam was wonderful. A very simple yet tasty desert-doesn't feel heavy -though it is high in calories !

Staff Report
Published June 5, 2013
The Horizon Project Foundation chose the director of the Charleston Civic Design Center as its CEO, the foundation announced Tuesday.
Michael Maher has served as the center's director since 2001, and he has been involved in the Horizon Project since its start.
"The Horizon Project is at a crucial point in its history," said Bill Baker, chairman of the Horizon Project Foundation's board, in a news release. "Strong leadership and continuity is very important to accelerate our momentum. The board is very pleased to have Michael Maher as its first CEO. He has exemplary professional credentials, a strong track record on Horizon with a significant breadth and depth of knowledge about the project."
The Horizon Project will redevelop 20 acres in downtown Charleston along the Ashley River and adjacent to the Medical University of South Carolina. The project is being run by the Horizon Project Foundation, which supports the city of Charleston and the Medical University of South Carolina Foundation. The Horizon foundation has performed predevelopment work and will provide that work to the master developer, Gateway Development Services. The foundation selected Gateway in May.
Planners hope to establish a life sciences research cluster, incubators, MUSC clinical research centers, commercial mixed-use development, recreational facilities and residential units.

Some people's summers sound amazing!
I'm working full time for 5 weeks starting mid June, then going on hols with the fam end of July. No idea what to do with myself for the last month - see friends... maybe find another job?! I'd love to travel sometime, but August probably isn't the best time for that (price wise)!

I'm studying D1 right now, so I'll be doing that if I haven't finished. I've also been looking at Java, which some good results, but in the end there are a few errors I don't know how to solve, so I sort that out as well.
In less than two weeks I'll be going to London for 3 weeks to visit universities and generally chill. It'll be nice. I think it's a good test of my independence in study, because I have to get on top of A2s. I'll also be spending time away from my parents, but that's a good thing right
Then in the actual summer, I have a job. I'll be going to Belgium That will be as soon as holiday starts, for 3 or 4 weeks I believe. Then I've got some time back home to chill and get everything I may not have done in order. Making sure I've got all I need for my application, such as books.
Then I've got to grind it all the way to Christmas, making sure I get FP1 done - I'll be doing all my other subjects, but this module is hard and important for AS Further Maths, one of the requirements of CS in some universities.

Another Default? Troika Calls for New Debt Relief for Greece
Greece's international creditors are calling for a new debt haircut for the country so as to bring down its massive debt load. This time, however, taxpayer money from Germany and other donor countries would be involved. Resistance, not surprisingly, is substantial.
For all of the uncertainty surrounding Greece's future in the euro zone and the mixed messages regarding the political and economic reform process in the country, the math is actually relatively simple. Current plans call for Greece's sovereign debt to drop to 120 percent of gross domestic product by 2020. But the country's debt load is 169 percent of GDP and it is expected to rise to 179 percent by the end of next year. In absolute terms, that is almost 350 billion ($451 billion).
The other option? Another partial default. That, indeed, would seem to be the conclusion that Greece's main international creditors have come to. According to information received by SPIEGEL, representatives of the so-called troika -- made up of the European Central Bank, the European Commission and the International Monetary Fund -- proposed just such a debt haircut at a meeting last Thursday held in preparation for the next gathering of euro-zone finance ministers.
The proposal is not uncontroversial. At the beginning of this year, a similar debt relief plan resulted in just over 100 billion being shaved off of Greece's mountain of debt. But that money all came from private investors. This time around, public creditors would be involved, meaning that taxpayer money from those countries which have stood behind Greece would vanish off the books.
Not a Glowing Report
Several countries, including Germany, are opposed to such a plan, with representatives from a number of euro-zone member states saying they didn't want to write off the money they have loaned to Greece as emergency aid. The European Central Bank, which holds some 40 billion in Greek debt, would also not participate as the bank is not allowed to directly assist member states in such a manner.
Nevertheless, the ECB has said it is prepared to make available the profits it has earned from Greek sovereign bonds. The profits were generated by virtue of the fact that the ECB purchased its holdings of Greek bonds at below market rate, yet it receives the full return when those bonds mature.
Still, it is not likely to be a glowing report. According to a draft report, Athens has only introduced 60 percent of the reforms demanded by the European Union. The paper notes that 20 percent of the requested reforms are currently under consideration. A further 150 measures have also been proposed, including loosening laws governing hiring and firing and those relating to minimum wage requirements.
The troika has already agreed to give Greece two extra years to meet its austerity goals, a delay that will likely result in a need for up to 30 billion in additional aid, according to the ECB and European Commission. The IMF believes the funding gap will be closer to 38 billion. The final troika report is to be presented no later than November 12.

In April, The Persuaders' Robert Poindexter filed a suit in New York over 50 Cent's uncleared use of the group's track "Love Gonna Pack Up and Walk Away" from 50's "Redrum," included on the rapper's War Angel album.
Now, 50 has responded, stating that he hasn't violated any copyright laws.
TMZ reports that 50 claims in recently filed court documents that Poindexter doesn't own the rights to the music because he apparently signed them over to Warner Music Group.
50 has asked the judge to dismiss the case.

Tagline: I gotta take care of mine.
Synopsis: Hushpuppy, an intrepid six-year-old girl, lives with her father, Wink, in "the Bathtub," a southern Delta community at the edge of the world. Wink's tough love prepares her for the unraveling of the universe; for a time when he's no longer there to protect her. When Wink contracts a mysterious illness, nature flies out of whack—temperatures rise, and the ice caps melt, unleashing an army of prehistoric creatures called aurochs. With the waters rising, the aurochs coming, and Wink's health fading, Hushpuppy goes in search of her lost mother.

How Do Satellites Get Into Space?
A satellite is sent into space on top of a rocket. When a satellite is put into space, we say that it is launched.
The rocket that is used to launch a satellite is called a launch vehicle. Below are pictures of some launch vehicles currently used to put satellites into space.
A launch vehicle is made up of several different segments, or stages, with each stage playing a different role.
The first stage of the launch vehicle contains the rockets and fuel that are needed to lift the satellite and launch vehicle off the ground and into the sky. The rockets have to be very powerful because a launch vehicle at lift off weighs hundreds of tons. After all the fuel has been used up, the first stage is no longer needed and breaks off and falls to the ground. Don't worry, though, the launch vehicle operator makes sure that it falls in an uninhabited area where there aren't any people or buildings!
The second stage contains smaller rockets that ignite after the first stage is finished. The rockets of the second stage have their own fuel tanks. The second stage is used to send the satellite into space. Like the first stage, it breaks off after all the fuel has been used up and burns up in the Earth's atmosphere.
The upper stage of the launch vehicle is connected to the satellite itself, which is enclosed in a metal shield, called a fairing. The fairing protects the satellite while it is being launched and makes it easier for the launch vehicle to travel through the resistance of the Earth's atmosphere. The fairing splits apart once the satellite is above the Earth's atmosphere and burns up in the Earth's atmosphere. The rockets of the upper stage fire after the satellite is in space and put the satellite in the exact spot where it is needed.
Once the launch vehicle is out of the Earth's atmosphere, the satellite separates from the upper stage. The satellite is then sent into a transfer orbit that sends the satellite higher into space. Once the satellite reaches its desired orbital height, it unfurls its solar panels and communication antennas, which had been stored away during the flight. The satellite then takes its place in orbit with other satellites and is ready to provide communications to the public.

To me, a pinecone and nut wreath is a gift direct from nature. It looks just as beautiful on an outside door as it does hanging in the house or in the garden. In the dining room, place these wreaths on the table with candelabras in the center for a striking visual effect.
You will need:
- Pinecones of varying sizes and shapes (you will use anywhere from 25 to 100 pinecones, depending on the size of the wreath. Prewashed pine cones are available at your local florist)
- Old towel
- Baking sheets
- Used aluminum foil
- 1 roll of light-gauge florist wire
- Wire cutters
- Wire wreath frame (For best results, use a size 2 or 3 wire base, available in any craft store around the holidays. You also can use a wire hanger, but the wreath will not look as full.)
- 20 to 30 nuts in their shell, such as walnuts, hazelnuts, almonds, and chestnuts
- Nontoxic-glue gun
- Gloves (garden or rubber, optional; if the pinecones are prickly, gloves make handling easier)
- 24-inch/61-cm piece of used ribbon or raffia (optional)
Putting it together
1. Preheat the oven to 200ºF/90ºC.
2. Wash the pinecones. Fill the kitchen sink or bathtub with 2 to 3 inches (5 to 8 cm) of lukewarm water. Place the pinecones in the water and swoosh them around to remove any dirt or bugs. Drain the water, rinse the pinecones, and dry them with an old towel.
3. Line the baking sheets with the used aluminum foil, arrange the pinecones on the sheets, and bake for 30 minutes. (Baking the pinecones dries them out, removes the resin-and makes your home smell extra Christmasy!) Note: wash and bake the pinecones only if you're using pinecones you collected outside. Skip this step for pinecones purchased at a florist shop. Be sure to ask the florist if they have been cleaned.
4. Cut as many 7- to 8-inch (17- to 20-cm) pieces of light-gauge florist wire as you have pinecones. Fold the wire pieces in half.
5. Wrap a folded wire piece around the first pinecone and twist the loose ends tight around the pinecone to make sure the wire is secure. Repeat with the remaining wire pieces and pinecones.
6. Starting with the larger pinecones, and working from the inside of the wreath frame out and the bottom to the top, attach each pinecone's wire securely to the bottom wire of the wreath frame. Wire the second pinecone snugly next to the first, and repeat with each successive cone, keeping the pinecones snug against one another.
7. Once the wreath is as full as you want it, take the nuts and glue them to the pinecones. Make sure you find secure grooves in the wreath where you can easily attach the nuts.

Now that you've had time to settle your indignant rage over Ben Affleck's casting as Batman, Christian Bale has a TMI recommendation for the newest Caped Crusader.
Bale, who gained critical acclaim in his three-film tenure as Batman, had some bizarre (yet practical!) words of advice for Affleck:
The only thing I said to him is to make sure he can take a piss without anyone having to help him because it's a little bit humiliating – at least what I went through – when you have to have someone help you out of the costume in order to do that.
Did you hear that, Affleck? Seriously, make sure you figure out the mechanics of the Batsuit before things get ugly.
Both actors also spoke about Batkid, who was at the center of the Most Heartwarming Story of 2013 (humanity, once I'm done crying I will graciously award you +1,000 points for this).
"It's so touching," said Bale of the crime-fighting tot. "Hopefully, later on, he'll be able to look back and say, 'Oh my God, how amazing.'"
Ben Affleck then took to his Twitter and posted an official statement of defeat:
Batkid. Best Batman ever. #SFBatKid #MakeAWish @SFWish
— Ben Affleck (@BenAffleck) November 16, 2013
It's true, no one can beat the five-year-old leukemia survivor as the greatest Batman of them all – no one. But we appreciate your efforts, Ben. Launch the gallery to see the award winning director picking up his own cute tot, daughter Violet! And let us know in the comments – do you think Affleck will make a good Batman?

Spending by cruise passengers in Jamaica has dropped to a 10-year-low, prompting an outcry from tourism officials, according to a report in Travel Weekly.
Cruisers that call in Jamaica spent an average of $71.27 per person in 2011, 20% less than the year before, and the lowest number in 10 years, the report said.
Citing data published by the Jamaica Tourist Board, the report found that Jamaica experienced a 23.7% jump in cruise passengers in 2011, to more than 1.1 million passengers.

However, cruise passengers visiting Jamaica spent a total of $80 million, or $71.27 per person, $16 less per person than in 2010. Foreign visitors arriving by air spent $1.85 billion, or $115.74 per person per night.
The report said that per-passenger spending in Jamaica trails most other major cruise destinations in the Caribbean, including the Bahamas and the U.S. Virgin Islands, which get the most annual cruise passengers in the region.
Cruise passengers in the Bahamas spent an average of $111 each this year, while passengers visiting St. Thomas and St. Croix spent $156 per person in 2011.

The UT Consumer Dispute Redressal Commission on Wednesday directed the Chandigarh Housing Board (CHB) to pay interest at the savings bank rate on the amount of Rs 70,000 to the complainant, who had applied for a one-bed room flat under the Self Financing Housing Scheme-2008 for the employees of the Chandigarh Administration launched by the CHB.
The board shall also a pay compensation to the tune of Rs 20,000 for mental agony and physical harassment caused to Mohali resident Abha Dobriyal, a teacher at Government Middle School, Kishangarh.
Commission issued these directions while accepting the complaint of Dobriyal, who has been seeking a refund of her money since 2010. She claimed to have deposited Rs 70,000 against the scheme on November 4, 2010, wherein the complainant remained unsuccessful. Thereafter, she waited for the refund, as promised by the CHB, but to no avail.
The complainant wrote to the CHB seeking refund of the deposited amount, along with interest at 12 per cent per annum from the date of draw of lots till date of realisation. Refund was eventually received by the complainant, but when the interest on the amount was not paid by the opposite party, Dobriyal filed a complaint under the Consumer Protection Act, directing the board to pay interest on Rs 70,000 and a compensation of Rs 50,000 for mental agony and physical harassment, and cost of litigation of Rs 25,000.
In its reply, CHB stated that the complaint was not maintainable, as the complainant, at the time of submission of application for the allotment of the flat, gave an undertaking that she shall not claim interest on the amount deposited by her. It was stated that the scheme remained under litigation in the high court, following which the payment could not be made in time. After the final decision on January 25, 2012, unsuccessful applicants were refunded, but the name of the complainant was on the waiting list. Refund was made to her after the court orders, but she was not entitled to the interest.
According to the counsel of the complainant, the board was liable to refund the amount, within 30 days of the draw of lots, to the unsuccessful applicants without any interest.
However, if the refund of amount was not made within the stipulated period, then savings bank rate of interest beyond the period of 30 days was required to be granted to the

While not directly affecting those now enrolled in approved TA courses, depriving many soldiers who wish to begin charting a self-improvement, educational goal to grow and improve themselves, especially our men and women who are or have been downrange and our wounded warriors is, said a brigade commander, a "significant morale killer."
Command Sgt.Maj. Jimmie Spencer, USA, Ret., AUSA's director of noncommissioned officer and soldier programs, issued a statement that said, in part, "I understand that we are at war and that is our number one priority, but putting TA (tuition assistance) on hold is painful
"We at AUSA are in the process of gathering information to develop a way to soften the blow. The budget shortfall is the problem and this situation is not likely to improve anytime soon. So we must start thinking 'outside the box.'"
It was Congress' actions that dealt the budget-cutting hand to the Army. Now they are seeking ways to soften the blow the tuition assistance cancellation will have on the force.
As the Senate resumes consideration of the continuing resolution to fund the government through the rest of fiscal 2013, Sens. Kay Hagan, D-N.C., and Jim Inhofe, R-Okla., will offer an AUSA-supported amendment that would simply bar reductions to the funding for tuition assistance.
It remains to be seen whether or not the amendment will be adopted. Even if it is, the House version of the bill did not include similar language so the matter would have to be decided in a conference committee that will reconcile the two versions of the bill.

Welcome to the Tablescaper. We at the Tablescaper household have all survived Hurricane Sandy and life is starting to get back in order. We are truly thankful. It's given me great incentive to clean up and clean out and donate!
While I'm trying to get my act back together, I'm sharing one of my favorite Thanksgiving tables. Love the richness of all of the color.
A Burgundy Thanksgiving
I hope that you and your family are enjoying a blessed Thanksgiving this year.
Regardless of the many fictitious and romanticized stories surrounding the origins of Thanksgiving,…
…it is a wonderful thing that once a year our entire nation pauses to give thanks.
And to enjoy the bounty that surrounds us.
The inspiration for this table started with this Ralph Lauren tablecloth.
I was thrilled that these turkey towels cum napkins (a purchase last year from Christmas Tree) blended so well.
They provided the opportunity to use my Pottery Barn chargers. I purchased them quite a number of years ago at the Pottery Barn outlet. The Portuguese taupe dinner plates are a recent purchase from HomeGoods. I'm such a color person that I'm not usually drawn to neutral shades, but sometimes that's just what you need to pull it all together. On a shopping trip this Summer with my good buddy, Kathleen of Cuisine Kathleen, I scored these salad plates on clearance at Pier 1. I love how they match the Pottery Barn chargers.
The stack is topped off with transferware plates from my trip to Brimfield!
The little glass turkeys were a Christmas Tree last year. The goblets were from HomeGoods several years ago.
This fine fellow I purchased last year! He's a tureen by Spode.
I'm partying at: Let's Dish at Cuisine Kathleen's;Yvonne at Stone Gable for Tutorials, Tips and Tidbits; Katherine of Katherine's Corner for Thursday Favorite Things Blog Hop; The Style Sisters for Centerpiece Wednesday; Kathy of A Delightsome Life for Home and Garden Thursday;Sheri at The Charm of Home for Home Sweet Home; Susan at Between the Naps for Tablescape Thursday;Courtney of French Country Cottage for Feather Your Nest Friday;Alison of Stuff and Nonsense for Fridays Unfold; Cindy at My Romantic Home for Show and Tell Friday.

Newton, NC-- The lead prosecutor in the Zahra Baker murder case has been returned to active status following his arrest for driving while impaired on the North Carolina coast.
Chief Legal Assistant Donald Farr of the Catawba County District Attorney's office said in a statement Thursday that a review of the case indicated the allegations against Eric Ballas didn't require further discipline.
Police in Sunset Beach arrested Bellas last month while he was attending the N.C. District Attorneys' Summer Association Meeting. Bellas was allegedly involved in an accident while riding a bicycle.
He was placed on administrative leave following the incident.
Bellas was the primary prosecutor in the disappearance and death of 10-year-old Zahra Baker. The girl's stepmother, 43-year-old Elisa Baker, is charged with second-degree murder in Zahra's death.

From Estria's blog:
Tempt One Creates Art with ONLY His Eyes
I've tweeted a couple times about Tempt One, a true Los Angeles graffiti king, who has done a lot for the graffiti culture. Thanks to Spie, I've had the honor of communicating with Tempt through email. This doesn't sound like such a big deal until you find out that Tempt is completely paralyzed with Lou Gehrig's Disease (ALS). He can only move his eyes. Every word you see here, every image, was created with only his eyes.
Tempt has graciously written a short synopsis of his writing career and of his battle to overcome ALS. Please share this inspirational story far and wide, especially with those people who always seem to have excuses for why they haven't been doing their art lately.
My name's Tempt, and I'm a graffiti writer from Los Angeles. I began writing in the early 1980's. My crew FB and I initiated the all-city freeway writing movement that blossomed to include later writers like Oiler COI, Gkae MSK, Ayer LTS and Saber AWR. I also push K2S-STN, one of the first crews in Los Angeles known for fusing the indigenous cholo writing culture of East Los Angeles – which dates back to at least the 1930's – with NY stylewriting, to create a uniquely Los Angeles style whose influence can today still be seen in almost every L.A. crew, as well as throughout Cali and the southwestern U.S. in general.
I've painted with many of L.A.'s most notable writers, and later met, became good friends with – and had a lot of fun – spending several years painting with some of North Cali's best writers, including Racus and Gigs FSC, Josh, Grey, Twist THR, KR, Some, Crayone TWS, Spie and the legendary Dream (R.I.P.) TDK.
Bay Area writing culture has always been special to me, ever since I rode the MUNI in the early 80's and saw the amazing handstyles, executed with Pilots, Uni-Wides and Mini-Wides, flooded with every Marsh ink imaginable. I've always had the greatest respect for the sense of community I witnessed in the Bay writing scene, which laid the foundation for a vibrant, strong graffiti culture that continues to flourish and innovate to this day. Bay writers are rooted in their history, and the Bay writers from my generation continue to shape the newer generations coming up.
When I returned to L.A. in the early 90's, I brought back with me a desire to affect community change at the grassroots level, using writing culture as a platform to address the issues affecting the inner-city. I began getting involved in community murals, mentoring youth, curating art shows, working with non-profits (the Peace and Justice Center, the Social Public Art Resource Center, etc.), and building alliances within the often hostile and violent L.A. writing community. My work addressed gang violence, police abuse and "at-risk" youth. The spirit of community and DIY attitude of the Bay scene was one of numerous factors in my decision to start BIGTIME MAGAZINE in the mid 90's. BIGTIME was the only hardcore writing mag to come out of L.A. throughout the 90's and into the beginning of the millenium. It was distributed worldwide, and focused on skill, style and originality, as well as the socio-political issues affecting Cali writers. My aim with BIGTIME was to foster a sense of community in the graf scene, ground young writers in their history, showcase the illest styles, facilitate dialogue and bring a higher consciousness within the scene. The magazine is credited with many firsts, along with a loving tribute to KING DREAM TDK.
In 2003 I was diagnosed with ALS, a neuromuscular degenerative disease that renders the patient fully paralyzed. I slowly lost all movement in my body, and by 2005 I was fully paralyzed and bedridden 24/7. The loss of mobility and personal freedom was devastating. Prior to my paralysis, I felt a profound sense of fulfillment being of service to the community, and that – coupled with the loss of my ability to paint and draw – left me with a sense of emptiness.
Earlier this year, however, a tight crew of hackers who dig graffiti – known as Graffiti Research Labs (GRL) – got together with Not Impossible by The Ebeling Group (TEG) to create software that allows me to draw with my eyes, which is how I was able to bust the "pieces" you see here.
I can't even begin to describe how good it feels to be able to rock styles again, and through my art I've been able to raise awareness about my disease, ALS. I've since participated in several art shows in Norway, Tokyo and next week in Vienna. All proceeds from the sales of my art go directly to the TEMPTONE ALS FOUNDATION, a non-profit organization dedicated to helping people who suffer from my disease.
Art is a tool of empowerment and social change, and I consider myself blessed to be able to create and and use my work to promote health reform, bring awareness about ALS and help others. This would not have been possible without the support of my family, my crew, the wider graffiti/hiphop community, and the prayers from my spiritual community.
In the indigenous culture, the concept of "mitakuye oasin" – the inter-relatedness of all things – is not an intellectual concept, but a prayer that acknowledges all life in the universe. It is the principle that sustains the whole community, where each individual sacrifices for the greater good of all. I am honored to be a part of the graffiti/hiphop culture that has done much to promote change for the community. We all come together to help each other, and that's dope.
Support local businesses. Be responsible for what you put in your body. Start growing your own food. Don't support products or businesses that are harmful to you and your environment. Take care of your health.

Post-Game Notes: USC
Related Links
Jan. 17, 2013
Recap | Final Stats | Quotes
The game was the second consecutive overtime game between the Bears and Trojans. USC claimed a 76-75 OT win last season on Feb. 11, 2012, and Cal won today's game 71-63 in OT. Coincidentally, both games were played in Berkeley.
California now trails the all-time series 36-24 with Thursday night's win. The victory was Cal's first over the Trojans since an 82-71 victory on Jan. 20, 2011 in Berkeley.
California has now led at the half in 14 of 16 games this season with its 36-31 lead over USC, and the Bears are 13-1 in those games - the lone loss coming to Stanford five days ago at Haas. The Bears did not lead against Duke (trailed, lost) or Colorado (tied, won).
The Bears move to 5-1 in televised games this season (Old Dominion, Utah, Colorado, Stanford, Stanford, USC) and 3-1 on the Pac-12 Networks.
Three Bears scored 62 of Cal's 71 points - an anomaly from California's normal balanced production in Lindsay Gottlieb's tenure.
California committed just six turnovers - a season-low - for the second consecutive game, even more impressive given that Thursday's game went to overtime.
Gennifer Brandon
Tied the California single-game record for rebounds with 26, matching Colleen Galloway's effort against Nevada on March 3, 1978.
Scored a season-high 23 points, one shy of her career-high set in her 24-point, 24-rebound game against Ohio State last season.
Matched her career-high of three steals in the contest.
Registered her second consecutive double-double with 23 points and 26 rebounds. It was Brandon's 23rd career double-double.
Her 26 rebounds marked the first time a Bear pulled down at least 20 in a game since Brandon's 24-rebound effort against Ohio State on Dec. 17, 2011.
Layshia Clarendon
Scored 27 points, one shy of her season high and two shy of her career high. Clarendon led all scorers in the game.
California started the starting lineup of Clarendon (G), Boyd (G), Jemerigbe (G), Brandon (F) and Caldwell (F) for the 16th consecutive game
