Marc Benjamin of the Fresno Bee has a story on plans for a new casino in Madera County:
Madera County supervisors reaffirmed their support Tuesday for the North Fork Rancheria of Mono Indians' plans for a $250 million casino and resort north of Madera.
Supervisors were compelled to weigh in after Democratic Senator Dianne Feinstein questioned whether there is local support for the casino in a letter sent last month to Madera County leaders.
They voted 4-1 to send a letter outlining the steps the county has gone through over seven years to approve a site for the casino, which will have 2,500 slot machines.
The 305-acre site next to Highway 99 is 36 miles from the North Fork rancheria.
Supervisor David Rogers said he voted against the letter to Feinstein because he opposes gambling, not the tribe.
The supervisors' letter said the casino will create thousands of jobs in a community beset by 14.4% unemployment and pump up to $50 million into the local economy each year in the sales of products and services.
Chukchansi opposes Casino
North Fork Rancheria has other issues
DISENROLLMENT is STRIPPING Tribal Citizenship from Native Americans, an unscrupulous method of oppressing the people. PROTECTING the Abused from Abusers Shouldn't Be an ETHICAL DILEMMA for the federal Government because their trust responsibility to Indians isn't ONLY to the Chairmen and councils.

While I'd love to see Chukchansi's business suffer, do we want off reservation gaming?
We should legalize gaming in our state and regulate it.

BEDFORD, Texas (AP) — The first time officer Monique Hall met Amy Cook, she was in a hospital bed recovering from a suicide attempt.
Cook spent a combined 35 days in two hospitals before being released.
Soon after, she began meeting with officers from the Bedford Police Department's Repeat Victimization Unit, who worked with Cook and persuaded her to take medications to help control her mental disability.
She lost weight, stopped using illegal drugs and alcohol and began sleeping six hours a night. None of that would have happened without the help of Bedford police, Cook said.
"It was not a good thing I did but I'm glad I did it," said Cook, whose name has been changed to protect her identity. "If I hadn't done it (the suicide attempt) I'd probably be going back to JPS (hospital) or dead or maybe I would've been sent to Wichita Falls" state mental hospital.
Bedford police Chief Roger Gibson said he created the unit about three years ago to help break a pattern that was becoming all too familiar in the Fort Worth suburb. Police were repeatedly arresting the same people for the same problems, Gibson said.
"We had officers who did not have the opportunity to deal with the underlying causes of the issues they were facing," Gibson told the Fort Worth Star-Telegram (http://bit.ly/1fCnQu1 ). "We would walk out of these houses having done our job and not having made the situation any better for the next officer who had to come to that house."
Gibson said he believed that if officers could get mentally handicapped people and their families to work with them — really sit down and listen and seek out solutions and community resources — they could reduce the number of people they funneled into the Tarrant County Jail and area hospitals.
He found three — Cpl. Shane Bean and officers Onay Nunez and Monique Hall — and the unit was born.
The officers, accompanied by mental health professionals, visit residents to make sure they are current with their medications and therapy. They listen to the problems that teens might be having at school, and maybe give a kid a ride to a football game if Mom or Dad is busy.
"It's like community policing on steroids," said Bean, the victimization unit supervisor.
Ken Bennett, a liaison officer for Mental Health Mental Retardation of Tarrant County, accompanies officers when they are making house calls in Bedford and trains officers in crisis intervention and mental health evaluation techniques.
The classes teach officers how to document and categorize symptoms of a mental disability, Bennett said.
"We have case after case of people who have talked about trying to shoot officers before who are now welcoming them into their homes," Bennett said. "The more we show up on scene the better those interactions become. These officers want to know that when these people are released they are stabilized. I think bringing the police in at this level is instrumental in having a good outcome."
Bean said the numbers showing that the program might be working are slowly starting to materialize.
More than three-quarters of people with mental health issues who were contacted by the unit in 2012 did not have to be contacted by police in 2013, Bean said.
Bean said officers get to know the families so well they can identify "trigger" dates, like the anniversary of the loss of a loved one.
"There was one woman who generated a number of calls and Hall figured out that they were coming every Wednesday," Bean said. "It turned out Wednesday was her day off."
The approach Bedford is taking is also being examined in the mental health community.
Tarrant County MHMR, the Tarrant County Sheriff's Department and Mental Health Connection officials have identified 85 people with diagnoses of a mental disability in the past three years who have been arrested more than 14 times, according to a report produced last year.
The intervention techniques being used by Bedford police may have some value in helping that population stay out of jail and the hospital emergency psychiatric unit, said Ramey Heddins, assistant director of MHMR of Tarrant County.
"Anytime you have an officer doing what Bedford is doing you have positive outcomes," Heddins said. "The goal is to keep them out of the hospital and keep them out of jail and focus on getting them treatment in the community. It's cheaper and they will have better outcomes. Now when the officer comes to the door, it's not like they are coming to get me. They just want to see how I'm doing."
Phil Floyd said he credits Bedford police — specifically officer Hall — for helping one of his seven children, a 15-year-old boy with Asperger's syndrome.
The boy would run away regularly and cause problems with his siblings and other students at school. He had seen psychiatrists who tried different medications, but nothing seemed to work.
Until Hall stepped in.
"The mental health system did not help our situation, but she did," Floyd said. "Hall is a friend to my children in an authoritarian position. She's firm when she needs to be and supportive when she needs to be. There's the Hollywood version of what police do and none of them are like officer Hall. Every community needs someone like her on the force."

Celebrating women's contributions
(Page 2 of 4)
Lowell, 87, grew up in Brooklyn, graduated from Brooklyn College and got married. "I was interested in a law degree, teaching was a matter of convenience," she said with some regret.
Teaching at yeshivas in Borough Park and Queens prior to having children and then subbing later on at the schools her kids attended, Lowell and her husband, Harold, an accountant, who died nearly a decade ago, impressed upon their two children the need for education.
Arbeit credits her family, and her mother in particular, for having a creative gene that helps her create educational programs. She points to her younger sister, Sandy, though not a professional educator, Arbeit said her sibling can teach anyone to play mah jong. "She's very talented, very creative," Lowell said about her eldest daughter.
Changing career paths
Arbeit, who grew up in Queens and on Long Island, was 19 and attending New York University as a drama and communications major, that summer was she worked as a drama counselor and met her husband, Roy. Following their marriage and prior to having their three children, who are now out of the house, Arbeit worked in advertising and marketing. She and Roy have been married for nearly 39 years and have lived in Woodmere for 20.
She began teaching traditions and culture at Young Israel of Forest Hills part-time in 1985. She helped develop the Judaic Studies curriculum and gained confidence and knowledge through the help of a mentor. "That's how I got into curriculum development," Arbeit said. "Integrating curriculum is like putting a puzzle together, ELA, math, social studies and science; all those skills together in one seamless lesson, I love being able to do that."

Chocolate shortage by 2020? How mini loans could save the day
Demographic trends are leading to an unprecedented demand for food globally. Food consumption worldwide is expected to increase by at least 30 percent above 2005 figures by the year 2018. Foods most affected will be non-staple cash crops, often referred to as luxury crops: tree nuts, cocoa, cashews, coffee.
A 2012 Dalberg report warns that unless smallholder farmers recieve an influx of capital, certain luxury foods could become incredibly scarce.
Despite past initiatives to provide more funding to smallholder farmers, the drafters of the report fear that expected demand will surpass supply in several smallholder-dominated cash crops. Cocoa consumption illustrates their concern. Due to the world's love of chocolate, consumption has spiked over the last decade. This has resulted in massive fluctuations in worldwide production, with several countries actually reaching a plateau in cultivation. The Financial Times is expecting this to result in a large cocoa deficit by 2020.
Many large buyers are beginning to realize the value of investing in smallholder farmers, some even considering it imperative to securing future supplies and continue business as usual. To eliminate the predicted food shortage, large companies are focusing on the finance models already employed by social lenders. This raises the question however: Why are social lenders not able to keep up with demand?
Because social lenders' loans either aren't small enough to benefit individual smallholders, or don't last long enough to solidify a smallholder's growth.
Social lending--the sort practiced by Root Capital and TechoServe--can be defined as impact-driven, smallholder farmer lending, a combination of both market returns and positive social impact. Such loans generally deliver lower-than-market rates of return but bring about greater social changes by improving livelihoods and environmental stewardship.
Over the past decade, social lenders have made strides in cultivating an effective model for financing smallholder farmers, but two important limits persist.
First, in order for the social lending model to reach its full potential, farmers must be aggregated into producer organizations. However, only about 10 percent of smallholders worldwide belong to such organizations. Second, a major flaw in social lending is its focus on short-term export trade finance. Approximately 90 percent of all existing social lending involves only short-term deals. This is hindering growth, because many smallholders and producer organizations also require long-term financing to become more stable in the international marketplace.
In 2011, disbursements from social lenders totaled $345 million, encompassing about 90 percent of smallholder financing. Local lending, largely from government banks, provided an additional $5 billion to $9 billion in financing. Despite these efforts, there is still a shortage of at least $13 million in smallholder finance in order to feasibly meet worldwide demand of cash crops. Hence, if the social lending model could be replicated and expanded by larger commercial buyers such as Nestle, Hershey's and Starbucks, then more farmers could assemble into producer organizations, access more finance and increase productivity. Everyone involved would benefit.
The need to boost financing in smallholder agriculture should be approached on multiple levels. In addition to social lenders and large corporate buyers, private donors, commercial banks, governments and technical assistance providers can also work to fill the estimated $450 billion gap needed to meet food production requirements and lift millions of smallholder farmers out of extreme poverty. This could prove to be a win-win scenario: not only would farmers greatly benefit from the influx of capital, they would help meet the demand for luxury crops people crave.

Half or full bet rule, which is correct?
Top 3 Beginner Rooms
3 players betting pre-flop.
Player 1 = small blind $10
Player 2 = big blind $20
Player 3 calls the big blind
Player 1 calls
Player 2 (the big blind pushes all in) but only has another $10 ($30 in total)
Player 3 calls the $10
Player 1 raises all in = $150
I ruled that player 1 couldn't go all in.
My reason was that the big blind couldn't raise the minimum ($20) so I ruled that this wasn't a raise and that players 1 and 3 could only match player 2 (the big blind all in), then continue betting after the flop.
Was this right?
Thanks, Kevin
Hi Kevin
Yes and no. There are two different rules for this situation: The full bet rule and the half bet rule.
- If you use the full bet rule, an all-in must be equal to the previous bet to be considered as a real raise. If not, the other players can only call the extra money but the action is not reopened. In consequence, player 3's all in is not allowed.
- If you use the half bet rule, the action is reopened when the raise is at least half of the previous bet. In consequence, player 3's all-in is allowed.
Traditionally, the full bet rule has been standard in pot and no limit games whereas the half bet rule has been used in fixed-limit games. However, more and more poker rooms use the half bet rule also in no limit games. So if you would ask an old-timer, he would say that you are right, but I would say that in most games, online and live, player 3's raise is allowed. But you could argue that either way is the correct procedure.

He was a runaway from Ohio in 1900 at age14, he went east and joined the Marines in 1901 (he lied about his age to get in) went off to South America with his unit and became a corporal before his captain figured out he may be too young. The Marines gave him an honorable discharge and sent him home.
Home wound up to be New York City, where he
got a job as a waiter at the Waldorf and would wait on notable
people like Diamond Jim Brady and Harry K. Thaw. It was there
that he met Billy Lahiff and they became life long friends. Their
personalities were very similar, both self educated, soft spoken,
ultra polite, big hearted men who suffered no fools. They both
moved on to other bistros like Jack's opposite The Hippodrome.
It was there Jack Spooner developed his famous Flying Wedge with
waiters Pat Geraty and George Gates.The Flying Wedge was a very
smooth method of streeting objectional customers. The great war
broke out and when America entered it, Jack rejoined the Marines
as a recruiting Sargent in the day. His nights on Broadway were
spent with Lahiff who went on to open a club at 48th St, LaHiff's
Tavern became the most famous Roaring 20's watering hole for celebs
of both coasts, journalists, sports figures (especially prize
fighters), illustrators, authors and all those who followed them.
Jack Spooner became a Tavern fixture for 14 years.
In 1925 a cub reporter for the Daily News named Ed Sullivan rented a room above LaHiff's and Jack used to slip him both money and meals. Sullivan must of never forgot it, because he would often write about Jack in his On Broadway column that he started in the 1930's. Sullivan was not alone however as Jack became a friend and confidante of all the major journalists of the day; Damon Ruynon, Louis Sobel, Walter Winchell etc. Lahiff had a very large sign on the wall that read "LaHIFF Appears To Be A Big Hearted Guy ONLY Because SPOONER Trusts Everybody! " It was at LaHiff's that Jack started his famous autograph book for his daughter Amelia (my mother). "The Book" became an attraction unto itself because the autographs were very personal. Quite a few had illustrations and other doodling artwork. Many were from cartoonists and Jack even found himself written into the story line of serial comic Joe Palooka . The autographs soon numbered over 1000 and most were from people he was on a first name basis with. Just about every celebrity icon and more from the world of Theatre, Sports, Film were in "The Book" and it took on a life of it's own. Celebs would ask for it to be brought forth to their tables so they could read what their peers had written and perhaps try to top it! Sullivan described it in one column as "one of the seven wonders of the street".
It was during the Roaring 20's that a bootlegger named Sherman Billingsley also came to the Big Apple with an eye towards one day having a legit cafe night club that would be the "Toast Of The Town". Prohibition stunted his early ambitions, as did having three mobster semi silent partners, but a turn events including the death of Prohibition and serious illness of Billy LaHiff in 1933, made everything come Sherman's way. Lahiff passed away in June of '34. Billingsley's wise recruitment of "LaHiff's Best Men" one of them being Jack, played a major role into turning his Stork Club into the worlds most famous nite club. Having folks like Spooner, who was already a celebrity among the celebs, on his staff enabled Billingsley to draw the clientele he desired. He appointed him Matr'e D and gave him his plum assignment of running the Cub Room. The Cub Room was a private room for VIPs to get away from the mad throng that was paying the real tab. Though it was private and discrete, things were not really less serene in there. To the contrary, The Cub Room fight of the Erroll Flynish "Alan Swan" character Peter O'Toole played in the 1980's movie My Favorite Year, was no figment of filmmaker Richard Benjamin's imagination. The Cub Room was a very lively place. It just was guarded by "St Peter" Spooner & his charges who decided whom may pass through the golden chain to escape the prying eyes of J. Q. Public. One wonders if not for places like the Cub Room, if J. Edgar Hoover &"Mrs Hoover" as his partner was Clyde Tolsen was known by insiders, could of survived the public scrutiny even though Hoover kept "files" on everyone that could possibly threaten him both real or imagined.
Jack Spooner was not just a waiter, he was a personal pal to many of his customers. Joseph P. Kennedy, Jim Farley, Democratic Party Head and later Postmaster General, actor George Raft, illustrator James Montgomery Flagg (creator of the Uncle Sam poster) My Mom remembers going to the horse racetracks with her Dad's high roller friends in the early 30's and she would climb under the bleachers because being three sheets to the wind, they were dropping twenty dollar bills down through the openings like there was no tomorrow. When she entered the job market at 16, he got her a job with the Marx Toy Company and Lewis Marx would send his chauffeured Rolls Royce to Brooklyn transport her back and forth to Manhattan. Although my Mom only worked there for a year or so , leaving to get married in 1938, my older sister, brother and I were treated to some very Merry Christmas' courtesy of Marx Toys well into the mid 1950's.
Jack himself never drove a car, he took the train dressed in a full tux. Coming home at 4 or 5 AM dressed that way, you would think he may of encountered trouble, but he never did. He was carrying some serious folding money too. Producer Mike Todd used to tip him a $100.00, which was a very nice tip in the '40's . Jack also carried a small leather billy club with a lead weight in it just in case. But just in case never came in 40 years of wee hour commuting. He did get hit by a Taxi cab once. I think he was given a wide berth by anyone who may of sized him up because of his persona. I recall it well as some of my first memories of him were a bit wary, and I could not of been more than three or four. He was very soft spoken, yet he could be very intimidating and when he came in the room you paid attention. Sherman Billingsley who was notorious for confronting and firing his employees, never wanted to confront Jack Spooner. I learned this from several other Stork regulars including Henny. Another thing Billingsley demanded was once you quit or if he fired you.... that was it for ever working at the Stork again. Not so in Jack's case. He left at least twice that I know of and still returned. Once to manage his pal Jack (heavyweight champ) Dempsey's and once to take over Billy LaHiff's Tavern that was floundering under Billy Jr's ownership. But Sherm also knew Jack Spooner was a big draw. Celebs would clamour for his table. His style could best be described as a very classy version of Don Rickles. He was never loud or obnoxious like Rickles, but he was very sharp witted and sometimes quite sarcastic, yet always polite and a gentleman of first order. The celebs loved to be insulted by him and the columnists even wrote about it therefore creating even more demand for his services and increasing his Stork Club job security. Billingsley who put his name on the menu The Spooner Sandwhich (Danny Kaye's favorite dish) also asked him to keep The Autograph Book at the Club as an added attraction.
By the mid '50's just as the Stork was starting to slip a little from union trouble, competition like Eden Roc, Copa etc, Jack developed Parkinson's disease. He hung on till summer 1955, when he had to step away. Dorothy Kilgallen wrote in her column of August 11, 1955 " NEW YORKS MOST FAMOUS WAITER JACK SPOONER OF THE STORK CLUB IS SERIOUSLY ILL AT HOME. JACK WHO KNOWS LITERALLY THOUSANDS OF CELEBRITIES ON A FIRST NAME BASIS, WAS HEADMAN OF THE CREW SHERMAN BILLINGSLEY BROUGHT TO THE STORK FROM THE OLD La HIFFS TAVERN"
He started treatment for the tremors but very little could be done then. He returned to the Stork Club on a part time basis. In 1956 Walter Haight a Horse Racing columnist wrote in the Washington Post "Who Is Americas Top Waiter ?" Spooner at the Stork, Walter at Toot's Shore's Oscar at the Waldorf?...... but Jack's best days were behind him. He moved over to the Eden Roc with Gregory Pavlides another Billingsley right hand man but did not stay too long. He was still mentioned in Eden Roc reviews as late as 1959 as the person who's table to ask for. In late August that same year, he and my grandmother moved out to "the country" on Long Island and lived out their years with us. He no longer had to start making out his 1500 plus Christmas cards in August. Some of his old friends stayed in touch like Ethel Merman, Martha Raye, and Jim Farley who was now president of Coca Cola. I was twelve when they moved in and got to know Gramps a lot better. But being a teenager, was not that interested in what transpired in his world of cafe society thirty years ago. Besides I was going to be a racing driver, not a writer....Talk about regrets, Jack Spooner definitely took a library full of stories and God knows how many screenplays to the grave with him on September 2 of 1963. Long removed from the swing of things, he still mustered headline obits in the New York Times, Washington Post etc. Two of the neat things I keep framed in my writing room are Franklin D. Roosevelt's autograph to him from 1932 and a certificate from the son of one of gramp's other old pals. Had Jack Spooner passed away just two months later, I would not have it, for the Jack who signed it was none other than another President of the United States.....Jack Kennedy.

Got a minute?
Got a minute?
It's arguably the worst question in the interviewing process: "Where do you see yourself five years from now?" If your honest answer would be, "Doing the exact opposite of this job," then perhaps it's time to consider making a career change.
On his blog, personal coach Steve Pavlina advises, "If you can't make a serious five-year commitment to a given career path, it's not your path."
Consistency over a period of years, Pavlina says, is what creates real payoffs. Among his observations:
1. Most businesses aren't profitable for at least two years.
2. No matter what your job or business, it takes time to build a base. In his example of would-be bloggers, he points out that building a following, developing products and services, and attracting clients all require an investment of time. Changing URLs every six months gets you nowhere.
3. Income builds over time. The first six months Pavlina ran his blog, he made a grand total of $167. Twenty-five months later, he was making over $10,000 a month.
4. When you're considering which career path to pick, look at your current interests and ask yourself which ones you were interested in five years ago. You'll probably still be engaged in those areas of focus five years down the road.
"The truth is that you can generate serious income from just about any form of creative work — writing, audio, video, art, music, programming, design, etc.," Pavlina writes. "Others who came before you have already made millions from these paths. But most of them didn't get very far in their first 6-12 months. It's the ones who stuck with it for 5+ years that are reaping the biggest benefits. They're builders, not dabblers."
No matter what your passion is, you'll need to make a commitment to really get ahead.

Obamacare a triumph or failure?
Obamacare set be a great achievement
Regarding "Obamacare truly a fiasco for the ages" by Wes Pruden of the Washington Times (Op-Ed. July 7), the U-T and other editorial boards can waste ink deriding and sniping at what will come to be one of the president's biggest achievements.

One of the facts you can't change is that because of this law, and because my daughter lives in a state that actually wants to help its people get health care, my daughter will be able to quit one of her two jobs she has for the sole purpose of health care and pursue her career in October, when she will be able to shop for affordable health care through the law.

Let Obamacare play itself out
President Obama has used an executive order to delay the key implementation of his signature law, Obamacare, for a year. I say, let it roll out as originally planned so all Americans can find out what's in the bill, as Nancy Pelosi so eloquently stated.
Sorry to say, the president must now realize that it's going to be a fiasco and not the salvation for the health care of all Americans, as it was sold. He is stonewalling until after the 2014 elections. Politics as usual. I say let the bill roll out as planned, so we can all be enlightened.

PC-attitude, fear will sink Navy
John Lehman speaks a bitter truth regarding what has happened to our military in general and our Navy in particular ("Zero-tolerance policies lead to a risk-averse Navy than we can ill afford," Guest Perspective, July 7).
I am proud to have served as a naval officer from 1966 to 1974, as a surface warfare officer and as a naval aviator, and I worry over today's politically correct climate in our armed forces. Record-breaking numbers of commanding officers have been cashiered in recent years — capable officers whose years of training and experience have gone down the drain because of some alleged non-PC behavior. What a waste of talent.
The Thought Police should be happy, but "the culture" that Pat Schroeder vowed to break is the very same culture that defeated the Japanese in World War II and fought bravely and successfully in Korea, Vietnam and Desert Storm. How can a fighting force be expected to perform aggressively in combat when officers and enlisted personnel know that only by avoiding risk, not ruffling brass feathers, will their careers flourish?

Marshmallow fight leaves sticky mess
Many thanks to those who volunteered their time in cleaning up after the annual Fourth of July marshmallow fight ("Clean sweep at beaches after marshmallow fun," July 6).
My question is why is this event sponsored/tolerated by the Ocean Beach community? The sticky, messy footprint of this event has an environmental effect that extends beyond the beaches. The sticky residue gets tracked throughout OB. It is very hard to clean up.
It would be nice if our beach policy was like our national parks: Leave only footprints behind (and not sticky ones).

About the pension board's vote against lowering the city's annual pension payment ("Budget glitch will force S.D. to alter some plans," July 5): Wasn't the city's delay in making the annual pension payments in the 1980s the reason for the city's financial problems when the delayed bills came due?

Bankia Habitat sold more than 14,600 properties in 2012
29 January 2013
Category: Real estate
- The BFA-Bankia Group disposed of more than 5,600 foreclosed properties and subrogated 9,000 developer assets.
- Sales topped 1,600 million euros.
- The campaigns launched by the property subsidiary and the impending end of the tax deduction for home purchases pushed sales up twofold in December.
Bankia Habitat, the BFA-Bankia Group's real estate arm, closed 2012 with sales of more than 5,600 properties from its holdings of foreclosed assets. The pace of disinvestment picked up by 23.6%, with a sharp increase near yearend. These property disposals generated 550 million euros in income for the bank, 18.9% more than in 2011.
Adding this figure to the one for subrogation of developer loans and disinvestments in singular assets, including land and developments, which accounted in all for some 9,000 units, the total property assets disposed of by the group numbered more than 14,600, bringing in over 1,600 million euros.
Sales topped 1,600 million euros.
By region, BFA-Bankia sold off 1,920 properties in Madrid and 1,200 in Valencia, as well as 480 in Castilla-La Mancha, 380 in Catalonia and another 380 in Andalucía. There were a further 320 transactions in Castilla y León and 160 in La Rioja.
The commercial policy pursed by Bankia Habitat injected life into property disposals in a year marked by very sluggish sales in the overall real estate market. Another driver for this activity was the announced end of the home-purchase tax deduction this past 1 January.
In this context, BFA-Bankia more than doubled its sales in December over the averages seen in the preceding months. The last month of the year saw a total of 1,100 property sales, a full 70% higher than in November.
Subrogations of homes held by developers reached 2,300 units, a fivefold increase over the previous months and more than twice the level recorded in July, the second strongest month in the year, when more than 900 property loans were subrogated.
The bank also obtained 22 million euros on its disposals of rented buildings and more than 120 million euros on its disinvestments in land and singular assets.
Over the course of the year Bankia Habitat unfurled several sales campaigns. Both in the summer and autumn the company launched initiatives with price discounts of between 40% and 60%.
Major auction of homes
In November, Bankia Habitat organised an unprecedented auction in which it put more than 1,000 newly constructed dwellings up for sale, including, for the first time, developer properties. The auctions brought in more than 13 million euros. Hundreds of customers bid directly online via http://www.bankiahabitat.es/ and through Reser, the Bankia auction platform subsidiary that gives the bank a competitive advantage in organising initiatives of this kind.
Bankia offers customers interested in foreclosed assets financing that features a mortgage loan for up to 100% of the outlay, with a limit of 80% of the appraised value, at interest of the Euribor plus 0.90 points.
The group will continue to step up its marketing efforts through the branch network and drawing on the support of diverse channels, including real estate brokers and agents, as well as the http://www.bankiahabitat.es/ portal set up last March with the specific aim of boosting the sale of property assets.
Bankia Habitat is the BFA-Bankia Group company that groups together the Bank's real estate assets. It has firmly established itself as a major real estate manager and a key property sales channel in the Spanish market.

text: Nesbitt hits back over UUP resignations 15 Feb 2013 Ulster Unionist Party leader Mike Nesbitt has hit back at his former colleagues Basil McCrea and John McCallister, in the wake of their exits from the party and their reasons for quitting. Share Share Share Story by UTV Staff, Belfast South Down MLA John McCallister quit on Thursday night over the decision to field a unionist unity candidate in the upcoming Mid Ulster by-election."If he is resigning on principle, why did he not resign over the selection of an agreed candidate in Rodney Connor in Fermanagh & South Tyrone?" Mr Nesbitt asked on Friday. Within hours, Mr McCallister was followed out of the party by Lagan Valley MLA Basil McCrea - and the pair could now form a new political party."I reject Basil's claim that, in my leadership campaign, I advocated 'no big idea'. What I said was there was no quick fix and there was no 'big idea' beyond a long, hard slog on the ground. Hard work was the big idea," Mr Nesbitt said.Speaking about both former party members, the UUP leader said: "It is a matter of huge regret that, following a unanimous vote of the Mid-Ulster Ulster Unionist Constituency Association, some individuals chose to attack the party on the airwaves."The Party reviewed key policies in 2012 and neither John nor Basil attended internal meetings or contributed in any meaningful way. Indeed, John attended more Northern Ireland Conservative events over that period than he attended Ulster Unionist reviews."My vision remains for a revitalised, pluralist, non-sectarian progressive political party remains undimmed. That party is the Ulster Unionist Party.Mike Nesbitt, UUPIn announcing his resignation, Mr McCrea said the UUP had lost its way as party and that he did not know what it stood for anymore.He told UTV: "The party made a decision last night to endorse a unity candidate - I had been on record both in public and actually in private [saying] that I thought this was the wrong way to go for the party, for the people of Northern Ireland, and indeed, for the electorate of mid- Ulster."And so, the party having made it's decision, I felt I could no longer remain in the Ulster Unionist Party."He added that Unionist unity did not work."The challenge I put out to people is - if you can tell me what the UUP stands for that is different from the DUP, I'll be interested in what that is because I can't see it."Mr McCrea confirmed that he and John McCallister are in talks about "the appropriate way forward."He added he felt the forthcoming by-election in Mid-Ulster - where joint Unionist candidate Nigel Lutton, the son of a murdered RUC reservist, will contest the seat against Sinn Féin's Francie Molloy - would become a sectarian battle.According to Mr McCrea, both he and Mr McCallister had made their decisions knowing that it would be very difficult to get re-elected - but they felt it was something they had to do.Earlier this month, Mr McCrea attended an UUP disciplinary hearing after he criticised the party over its handling of issues linked to the Union flag dispute.He received a formal warning, which stopped short of expulsion or suspension.Mr McCrea had the UUP whip removed by Mike Nesbitt after he said he agreed with the Alliance Party motion of flying the flag on designated days at Belfast City Hall.He said he felt his stance was in accordance with UUP policy, but later opposed his party over a DUP amendment to a UUP motion calling for the Assembly's commitment to inclusivity, mutual respect, peace and democracy, in the wake of the flag unrest.The DUP wanted to remove a reference to the Good Friday Agreement.Any discussions about the formation of a newUnionist party would involve David McClarty. Defections to the Alliance party unlikely— Ken Reid (@KenReid_utv) February 15, 2013Mr McCallister's resignation came in an open letter to the party leader, in which he said that he "fundamentally disagrees" with the principle of Unionist unity.The former deputy leader of the party's Assembly group said the cooperation with the DUP was leading local politics "back into the sectarian trenches".He also accused Mike Nesbitt of failing to lead unionism into an "alternative to the politics of sectarian headcounts".Speaking about the new Mid-Ulster candidate, Mr McCallister said: "It's nothing personal to Nigel, I know Nigel. It is about principle. I am opposed to unionist unity and I do not want to be part of that."UTV's political correspondent Ken Reid said that in the immediate future the UUP will only have 13 MLAs in the Assembly."It will put the party into fourth position, because the SDLP have 14. Although Assembly rules will mean that it will have no actual practical effect on the day to day running of the Assembly."One of the more interesting aspects is that Basil McCrea is saying that himself and John McCallister will be talking about the formation of a new party."Independent MLA David McClarty told UTV that he expects to enter talks with the two men in the coming days and weeks.Mr McClarty left the UUP in 2011. He has been an MLA for East Londonderry since 1998, and quit the party when he was deselected by them, becoming an independent politician.He added: "Now had I been a member of the Ulster Unionist Party last night, I would have been sitting in the same [TV] studio as John McCallister saying the same things."Mr McClarty said all three men wanted to take Northern Ireland away from the "tribal politics" of the past. © UTV Share Share Share

hey all,
name's Andrew/Andy, and i'm a new pedal-power convert. dropped my car for human motivation about six weeks ago, and i'm having a great time with it so far.
my interest is practical road cycling, but i absolutely cannot resist trying to beat anyone that i see going my way. i'm just fumbling through all of the various things to fiddle with on the machine with the intention of becoming a very complete and competent mechanic (only for doing my own work), having done some truing and half built a wheel already.
my present best ride i've done was from where i live in Surrey to where i work in Richmond (~25.5km) in under an hour. obviously not amazing, but if there wasn't room to improve, who'd keep trying?looking forward to becoming an expert, and getting in shape.

Nina Garcia is right, of course. A good tailor is absolutely essential. Do you really think clothes just naturally fit celebs like a glove?
So do your research on the best tailor in your area, then grab these three key garments and see for yourself what a little tailoring can do for your figure.
Blazer. Too boxy? Have the tailor slim the jacket sleeves so there's a more defined space between your waist and your arms.
Pants. There's more you can do with pants than raise the hem. If they're too big, ask your tailor to take in the seat so the fabric doesn't bunch or gather. (If you trust your sewing skills, you can always DIY, too.)
Shift dress. To look instantly slimmer, have the tailor cinch the waist of your dress and bring in the bust, if need be. For an accurate measurement, be sure wear the same bra to your fitting that you'll wear with the dress.

In late January, thousands of people converge on Quartzsite for its Hobby, Craft & Gem Show. Many then continue on to Southern Arizona, where, for the first two weeks of February, the Tucson Gem, Mineral & Fossil Showcase and numerous associated shows draw an international crowd for what's been dubbed the world's largest treasure hunt.
Don't plan to be in Arizona for these shows? You'll find plenty of places to shop for earthly treasures year-round, from rare fossils to unique Arizona-gem jewelry.
Mineral Hunting in Tucson
Tucson may well have the state's largest selection of gem and mineral shopping options. At the high end of the spectrum, with pieces that turn up in the decor of hotel lobbies and in exclusive private collections, Zee's Minerals carries everything from 70-million-year-old dinosaur eggs to half-ton meteorites and Indonesian sculptures hand-carved from volcanic ash.
The shop occupies 11,000 square feet in Tucson's downtown warehouse district. Lifelong Tucsonan Zee Haag was born into a family of avid mineral collectors, and travels the world to find the rare pieces he showcases in his shop.
Collectors of all ages and means flock to Tucson Mineral and Gem World, where it's easy to lose yourself for hours among the bins of rocks, fossils and rough-cut gems – more than 100,000 items in all.
Geological oddities like fulgurites (root-like formations created when lightning strikes desert sand or soil) cost as little as $10.
A location near Old Tucson and the Arizona-Sonora Desert Museum makes this a perfect stop on a family outing.
Bisbee Turquoise and More
The search for copper at Bisbee's Lavender Pit Mine also unearthed rich lodes of turquoise that's prized the world over for its brilliant blue color.
Bisbee turquoise, malachite and camballite are among the many striking gemstones used in the unique wearable art you'll find at Jewelry Designs by Owen.
Of the bracelets, earrings and necklaces created by owner David Owen, perhaps most interesting are the intricate silver-and-jasper scenes – everything from ancient desert ruins to Chinese pagodas.
A Globe Rock Hounding Gem
John Mediz opened the Copper City Rock Shop in the former mining town of Globe in 1970, but he dates his interest in the earth's bounty back to junior high school (he's now 75).
He enjoys sharing his vast reserves of knowledge – and gems and minerals – with everyone from newbies to seasoned collectors.
He's particularly knowledgeable about Arizona minerals and gemstones, such as Apache tears (a type of obsidian), and carries some rare specimens of the metal that gives this shop its name.
Arizona Amethyst in Fountain Hills
Diamonds are a specialty at Sami Fine Jewelry, but this luxe shop in Fountain Hills, east of Scottsdale, especially dazzles with its collection of Arizona amethyst.
These gorgeous deep purple gems come from the nearby Arizona Four Peaks Amethyst Mine; it's off limits to the public, although Sami's offers mine tours to a select few twice a year.
Arizona peridot, an intensely lime green gem, and ruby rich Arizona anthill garnets also star in the stylish gold and silver settings of this Arizona jewelry store.
Stone Smarts in Sedona
Known for its wide-ranging selection of interesting items, from splash copper wall art to gemstones with metaphysical properties, the Village Rock Shop of Sedona is also notable for the expertise of its proprietors.
Owner, Mike Silberhorn, is a fine jewelry designer and master cutter of cabochons (gemstones that are shaped and polished as opposed to faceted).
The shop also features an ever-rotating selection of rare minerals, from meteorites to Iris agate.
Jerome's Jewelry with a Past
Artists and crafters helped resurrect Jerome, which became a ghost town after the last of its many mines closed in 1953.
One of the pioneering businesses, Aurum Jewelry, now represents more than 45 art jewelers. Many embed Arizona stones such as turquoise, amethyst, azurite and sugilite into the precious metals once unearthed here.
One historical highlight: Artist Lindsay Livingston uses broken bits of dinnerware dating back to the mining era as the centerpieces of her striking jewelry.

UCR Library News and Events
Rivera and Orbach Libraries close at 2pm, Sunday, Aug. 15; library website/catalog unavailable 2pm-8:00pm
Rivera and Orbach Libraries close at 2pm, Sunday, Aug. 15; library website/catalog unavailable 2pm-8:00pm
On Sunday, August 15, 2010 the Rivera and Orbach Science Libraries will close at 2pm due to an emergency electrical shutdown. There will be no air conditioning or electricity in the Orbach Science Library during this period, and no access to a generator. Due to the intense heat currently in Riverside, we believe that the Orbach Science Library will be too uncomfortable for users and for library staff to occupy the facility with the loss of air conditioning capacity.
Additionally, online library information and access services (the library information system and webpage, public workstations in the libraries, and checkout services) will be unavailable in that our technology infrastructure (servers, etc.) is housed in the Orbach Science Library and supported by its electrical circuits.
With this early closure, library hours on Sunday, August 15 will be as follows:
10am to 2pm open
2pm to 5pm closed
**The library website and catalog will be unavailable from 2pm to 8:00pm.**
The Libraries will open as regularly scheduled at 8am on Monday, August 16.
Thank you very much for your understanding and patience.

Counting down to Rangers-Isles (updated)
Posted By On February 18, 2009 @ 4:35 pm In Uncategorized | 382 Comments
Hi All, it's Joe Erwin guest-blogging for Carp.
Who would have thought a month ago this would be a huge game for the Rangers. It seems like they've hit "bottom" a few times recently — the 10-2 loss in Dallas, the 5-2 loss to the Flyers on Sunday, but a loss to the awful Islanders at home might make a new low.
Tom Reney is staying optimistic.
"We are in this together, the coaching staff and the players, and I know that group in our locker room cares an awful lot about what it means to be a New York Ranger," Renney said at the morning skate today. "I believe that if we trust the system and do the right things, we have the people and the leadership in order to succeed."
Find out more [1] of what Renney and the Rangers are saying.
The Islanders enter tonight's game coming off a win over the Penguins. Here is the view from the Island. [2]
Hey, it's Carp again.
I was listening to the first period on the radio and Dave Maloney noted that his brother, Don, the Phoenix GM and two of the Coyotes' scouts are in the house. You know that Sather only likes to deal with his buddies and people he knows. Hmmmmmmmmmmmmm.

Howe out as Bellamy makes extensive
Melbourne Storm coach Craig Bellamy has made several changes to his side ahead of Saturday night?s clash with the South Sydney Rabbitohs, including omitting veteran prop Rodney Howe to make way for the return of Alex Chan.
Chan returns this week after serving a two-match suspension for a high tackle on St George Illawarra?s Ryan Powell in Round 3, he is joined by young second-rower Dallas Johnson and centre Ben MacDougall.
Although named in the 18-man squad MacDougall will be required to prove his fitness later this week if he is to overcome a hamstring injury that saw him miss last week?s four-point loss to Penrith.
Howe and fellow prop Antonio Kaufusi have both been dropped for this week?s match with the Rabbitohs, the latter for disciplinary reasons after he missed the Storm?s recovery session yesterday.
Bellamy admitted dropping Howe ? who has seen limited game time in recent weeks ? was one of the hardest decisions of his coaching career and one based on a lack of form and not a lack of commitment.
?I can?t fault ?Howey?s? attitude or his desire, he is hungry and works very hard so leaving him out of the side is one of the hardest things I?ve ever had to do,? Bellamy explained.
??He is just struggling a little bit with his body after his (knee) injury last year and some other bad injuries in the past, so hopefully he gets some more footy under his belt.
?He doesn?t deserve to be left out based on his attitude and his ability to try as hard as he can, because he does that every time. There?s just a couple of areas of his game that are letting him down at the moment and he needs to go back and practice those areas in Brisbane and it won?t be long before he?s back in the team.?
Bellamy added that while Chan is a definite starter this week, MacDougall is no certainty to line up against brothers Adam and Luke, who have been in sparkling form for the Rabbitohs this year.
?Chan is as fresh as a daisy, he did the crime and he?s done his time so hopefully we won?t see any more indiscretions like that because he?s an important part of the team here,? Bellamy said.
?MacDougall?s been in good form although I?m not quite sure whether he?ll play or no, but hopefully he?ll get there by Saturday.?
MacDougall is quietly confident he will be fit to play this week as the Storm looks to deny Souths from recording their first-ever win in Melbourne.
?I think I?m a very good chance of playing this weekend, it?s just a matter of getting physio every day and if the hamstring improves this week as it has over the past week, I?ll be fine,? MacDougall said.
?It would be silly for me to come back too early and injure the hamstring again this week, so I will need to be really confident that it?s completely right.?
MacDougall?s inclusion has relegated Melbourne-born Jake Webster to 18th man while Johnson, who was hampered by a groin injury throughout the pre-season, is set to make his first appearance for the Storm in 2004 after playing 20 matches in his debut season last year.
MELBOURNE STORM TEAM TO PLAY THE SOUTH SYDNEY RABBITOHS, SATURDAY APRIL 17, AT OLYMPIC PARK (7.30PM): 1. Billy Slater 2. Matt King 3. Steven Bell 4. Ben MacDougall 5. Dustin Cooper 6. Scott Hill 7.

The Real Housewives Of Miami Returns For A Second Season
February 10, 2012 04:00 PM by Megan Thompson
The Real Housewives Of Miami will return to Bravo for a second season. The first season of RHOM was a major disappointment to many, scoring very low ratings. Bravo plans to revamp the cast in hopes to make The Real Housewives Of Miami as successful as the other housewives franchises. Keep reading to find out which housewives will be returning to the show.
Just yesterday, Bravo announced that The Real Housewives Of Miami will return for a second season and a second chance at success. Season one of Miami had lackluster ratings, so the network knew they would have to make some changes. Besides altering the cast, Bravo will be using a different production company this time around. Andy Cohen took to Twitter to express his excitement about the return of The Real Housewives Of Miami. Andy tweeted, "I believe in Miami. Going to be an incredible season and new vibe!"
So what ladies will be around for this "new vibe?" Well, three of the ladies from season one will be returning for season two. Marysol Patton, Lea Black and Audriana de Moura will be the seasoned girls on the show. Who can even remember the other ladies names? Marysol Patton was probably most well-known, but not for what she brought to the table. It was Marysol's mother who stole the show, Mama Elsa! While Lea Black played the motherly role of the group. Then there was Audriana de Moura, who really brought the most personal drama to the show. As for who will be joining the cast, Bravo is keeping that under wraps for now. The filming of season two will start as early as next month, so the new ladies will be revealed sooner than later.
Are you excited for the return of The Real Housewives Of Miami? Let us know what you think about the show returning to Bravo, leave us a comment below.

RUSTON - The Lady Techsters (17-14) came away with victories over Mississippi Valley St., Grambling St. and Jackson St. after day one at the Track Kat Klash.
Tech got off to a fast start with easy wins over the Devilettes (648-505) and the Lady Tigers (753-577) in matches one and two, respectively.
Tech dropped match three against Monmouth University (800-679) to end Tech's six match win streak.
The Lady Techsters played sixth-ranked Arkansas St. in game four and took the first three games. However, Tech struggled in the fourth game and dropped the match 793-728.
Tech defeated Jackson St. (713-660) to end day one of competition 3-2. The Lady Techsters recorded a 3,521 pinfall for an average of 704/game.
"Overall, it was a mixed day," said coach Shawn Jackson. "I'm happy with the way the girls played and we'll continue to get better as a team. We have to learn how to finish matches, especially against great teams like Arkansas State."
Louisiana Tech currently stands in eighth place. Day two will begin at 9:30 a.m. tomorrow.

A bank security guard and a 30-year-old man were critically injured Thursday morning during a fight over the guard's handgun in a hallway outside a Bank of America branch in Seattle's Central Area.
Around 11 a.m., the 46-year-old armed security guard contacted the younger man before he could enter the bank, located in a shopping plaza on the southeast corner of 23rd Avenue South and South Jackson Street, said Capt. Pierre Davis, commander of the Seattle Police Department's East Precinct.
Davis said it was unclear whether the 30-year-old planned to rob the bank but said FBI agents responded to the scene, along with Seattle police. (The FBI is typically responsible for investigating bank robberies, which are federal crimes.)
A police spokesman later said the man wrestled the guard's gun away from him, shooting the guard. The man suffered a gunshot wound to his shoulder, possibly during the struggle, then shot himself in the head with the guard's handgun, police said.

Seattle Fire Department spokesman Kyle Moore said the guard was shot twice, and the other man suffered multiple gunshot wounds, including a gunshot to the face.
Both men were taken to Harborview Medical Center in critical condition. Their status had not changed as of Thursday afternoon, according to a hospital spokeswoman.
The wounded men have not been identified.
Barber George Shaw was cutting a customer's hair at Styles on 23rd, which is in the same plaza as the bank, when he heard numerous gunshots. He went to the salon's rear door, which opens onto a shared hallway with the bank and other businesses, and saw "two guys laid out."
"The security guard was hollering 'ouch, ouch,' but the other guy wasn't saying anything. He wasn't moving," Shaw said. "The police showed up in two seconds — they got here real quick and locked it down before you knew it."
Shaw, who has cut hair in the neighborhood for 20 years, said the younger man "looked like he was wearing a costume … kind of a homeless look," with fake dreadlocks and several layers of clothing.
Davis, the East Precinct commander, said investigators hoped to piece together what happened through witness interviews and video-surveillance footage.
"The video footage could … reveal a whole heck of a lot more than we know now," he said, noting detectives also hoped to interview the security guard.
The security guard is a "bank protection officer" employed by G4S Secure Solutions (USA), spokeswoman Monica Lewman-Garcia said.
She confirmed in a statement that a G4S employee "was involved in a shooting incident while on duty at Bank of America" and said the security company, based in Jupiter, Fla., is cooperating with the police investigation.

Dear Editor,
After a failed seal coat was laid on Highway 69 by the Sierra Nevada Construction Company late last winter, many insurance claims were submitted for windshield repairs and placements. News reports stated corrective action would be taken when the weather was warmer, and late last summer additional construction on the highway was conducted. But I'm afraid the final results of the last construction efforts will be disastrous this winter. The first heavy rains of fall hit on October 28th. The construction ruts on all four lanes was like driving down two unparalleled rivers. Imagine what conditions will be like when the rains freezes and snow falls. Although the commute routes will be significantly longer, I will be taking alternate routes when the weather is less than fair. I am very concerned for all commuters' safety on Kuna-Meridian road and hope you can help take action now to keep Idaho's roads safe. After all, wasn't the Idaho Transportation Department just rated best in the nation?
— Lea Johnson
Dear Editor,
I would like to know who the scum person is that dumped six kittens off on my door. Two of these kittens are yellow and one has a really bad eye. Another is black and white with a sick eye which I'm sure is contagious. Two are from an older batch. One is black and one is striped grey.
I already have six healthy farm cats but they won't be for long if they mix with these sick kittens which I cannot catch. I'm sure there is someone who knows who had these kittens. I would appreciate hearing from you as I cannot afford to feed a dozen cats.
— Alvina Unser
Editor's note: If you have information about these cats call Kuna Melba News at 2087-922-3008 and we will relay the information to Alvina.

Craig Romano is one author of a series of guidebooks from The Mountaineers Books that replaces the long-popular "100 Hikes" series created by Harvey Manning and Ira Spring.
Career paths ordinarily do not follow footpaths. Author Craig Romano, though, loves being an exception, and a fairly unlikely one to boot — a Connecticut-born writer treading in the footsteps of revered Northwest guidebook icons Harvey Manning and Ira Spring.
"Writing trail guides is such a hard way to make a living," concedes Romano, 48, one of two writers (along with Times contributor Dan Nelson) who have authored a collection of day hiking guides for The Mountaineers Books to replace the signature "100 Hikes" series created by Manning (deceased 2006) and Spring (2003).
"But we do stupid things and fall in love with our passion," Romano says with a gregarious laugh. "I should know better than that — I'm a New Englander. But I'm also Italian. And that's the conflict: pragmatic Yankee, emotional Italian."

Romano, today a Mount Vernon resident, addressed his pragmatic side by earning undergraduate degrees in forestry (New Hampshire Tech) and history and a master's in education (both at the University of Washington).
Yet he has spent just one year, the 1999-2000 school year, earning a paycheck in a traditional career setting, teaching history at Edmonds-Woodway High School.
Instead, he has supported his deep fondness for writing and the outdoors by working a variety of short-term gigs (surveyor, backcountry ranger, ski-lift operator, waiter) in order to keep grander dreams alive.
"I've been writing since I was a teenager," says Romano, who earned his first byline with a cycling column in his weekly community newspaper in Windham, N.H., about 20 miles north of another outdoor-loving writer's hangout, Walden Pond.
"I actually kind of miss waiting tables because I'm so high-strung," says Romano, who once ran the Boston Marathon. "I'd run circles around the 20-year-olds. I had the forestry degree, too, but I was more interested in conservation. Boise Cascade wasn't going to hire me to say, 'No, don't cut that tree.' But writing was always my first love."
He discovered the Northwest in 1980 at age 19 during the first of two cross-country bicycle tours and moved here for good after his first marriage crumbled. "I was amazed by Rainier," he says. "I knew I wanted to come back and do some hiking."
He wrote articles for niche regional publications (Outdoors Northwest, Northwest Runner) and landed a few bylines in Backpacker and Canoe & Kayak.
His first pitch to The Mountaineers Books, a guidebook on Eastern Washington's Kettle Range, was rejected, but later it became his first book after all when the nonprofit group Conservation Northwest enlisted him to write it for an advocacy effort — an arty, photo-heavy title ("Columbia Highlands") that The Mountaineers ultimately co-published.
The Mountaineers eventually recruited Romano, owner of two cats, to author a guide to hiking with dogs in Eastern Washington. He later coauthored a wildflowers guide with Karen Sykes. His thoroughness and zeal made him a natural choice to take on the day-hiking series.
"Craig brought a lot of fresh ideas on how to improve the [100 Hikes] books, and an amazing amount of energy and enthusiasm," says Helen Cherullo, publisher of The Mountaineers Books. "He's like a hummingbird after a triple shot."
Hikes every mile
"I'm committed to this," says Romano, who has written three day-hiking guides (North Cascades, Central Cascades and Olympic Peninsula) and is at work on another (Columbia Gorge) as well as a guide to overnight hikes in the state.
"I hike every mile of what goes into my book," he says. "And the side trails. I put a lot of history into my books, too. Lots of sidebars."
Romano understands he's filling some significant boots. "When I came out here 20 years ago and bought Harvey and Ira's books, they were the Bible for me," he says. "I realized these guys were icons. It's amazing to have this opportunity to follow these legends."
Romano has remarried (he and his wife were wed three years ago at the exact Kettle Range campsite where they shared their first camping trip), hikes madly when weather allows and is loving life. This, he believes, is what he has been fated to do.
"I have my permanent substitute teaching certificate, and in a crazy economy I might have to go back into a classroom at some point. So I won't say I'm done with teaching. But I would very much like to continue my life as a writer and die with a manuscript on the computer screen."

Rather than buying the Garmin maps for my Edge 800, I decided to give OSM a try. You just need a micro SD card to put them on. The Garmin 800 connects to computer as a USB 1 device so file transfers are extremely slow. For a large map it is better to use a card reader to transfer the file. The maps from here are updated about every week: http://www.osmmaps.com/ . This site has a good set of instructions for installing the maps: http://ridewithgps.com/help/garmin-edge-800
The OSM maps are only as good as the mappers in your area have made them. Fortunately since anyone can edit the map that is something you can help with. For an area that has been thoroughly mapped, the biggest difference between the Garmin and OSM maps is the meta data. Garmin's maps include a huge database of zip/postal codes, street addressing and business / attraction names. The OSM maps typically have none of that aside from businesses and places that have specifically drawn on the map.
When riding a route discrepancies between the OSM map, map used to create the tcx course, and reality can cause it some confusion. Where the two maps cross each other it thinks there is an intersection so you can get annoying phantom turn instructions. Most of the ride mapping sites seem to use Google's maps. Garmin Connect does have the option of generating a course based on OSM data, so it would eliminate the discrepancy between the route and on board map.
During the fall I did a lot of rural road riding where I noticed the maps near me were very incomplete outside the city. I contemplated getting the Garmin maps, but instead decided to start editing the OSM maps. Since I was making so many updates I didn't want to keep downloading a huge map file for the entire country. I found out I could generate my own map for my province current as of 4pm the previous day. If anyone is interested I could put together instructions for generating maps as the OSM documentation is somewhat convoluted.
OSM has a web browser based editor for making changes to the map and I recommend giving it a try. But their downloadable program JOSM is much more powerful. The web editor is limited to drawing roads, but JOSM lets you open data files an copy / paste in new roads. For Canada the government has made available OSM compatible geographic files for the entire country. Adding alleys manually to my own city took two weeks. Using the data files to add alleys to a larger city took a day. And adding all rural roads to an area of about 270,000 square km took 3 weeks.
You can also use the gpx files from your rides to help spot areas where roads are missing. I did this to add new sections of MUP that don't even appear in the satellite imagery yet. Also to add those little paved paths that run between houses providing pedestrians access to parallel roads without going to the end of the block.

FRESNO, Calif. --- Fresno State senior Shonice Myers scored off a header in the 94th minute of overtime to secure a 1-0 Mountain West victory over Utah State on Friday night in Bulldog Stadium.
"Utah State is always a good rival game for us, we knew it was going to be a challenging game," said Fresno State head coach Brian Zwaschka. "We were looking for a killer finish at some point and unfortunately we had to go into overtime to do it, but we are really happy that we were prepared to grind it out."
At the end of regulation Fresno State (6-7-1, 3-2 MW) and Utah State were both scoreless and knotted at 0-0.
In just the fourth minute of overtime play Myers scored the golden goal off a throw in from freshman Ariana Holmes to send the Fresno State into their second straight overtime victory in Bulldog Stadium. This was Myers third goal of the season.
"Shonice has been a really strong player for us, as a senior she has been really mature, she's given us incredible minutes off of the bench," said Zwaschka. "She adds a dynamic that is unique which has been very helpful for us this year."
The Bulldog's defense recorded their second straight shutout and fourth shutout of the season against the Aggies.
Junior goalkeeper Katie DeVault had three saves against Utah State in the second half and totaled for on the night. DeVault has now surpassed Kaitlyn Revel's (2007-2010) second all-time record of 290 saves and not sits solely in second on the Fresno State list with 294 career saves.
"She (DeVault) was razor sharp tonight and we needed that," said Zwaschka. "The chances that Utah State had at the end of the game were so late, it would have been really hard to recover from. She came up huge for us and we are really pleased for her."
Fresno State next hosts Boise State on Sunday, Oct. 13 at 12 p.m. in Bulldog Stadium. Sunday is Bring a Kid to the Game Day! There will be a free carnival setup with tons of activities for the kids-remember to come early for bounce houses, a chance to meet TimeOut, and much more.
"Every match is going to be a grind and Boise State has had a successful season," added Zwaschka. "We are going to have to be sharp, and be on our toes, but we will be ready for them."

Click here to see our Happy Tails!
Our Featured Pet...
AT THIS TIME WE ARE COMPLETELY FULL WITH A WAITING LIST. We are a small rescue organization trying to make a difference by giving some wonderful German Shepherds a second chance for the life they deserve. Our primary focus is saving German Shepherds, but we believe that all good dogs deserve the best help we can give them. Because so many of our dogs have come from shelters where they have been picked up as strays, a fenced yard is one of our adoption requirements. AT THIS TIME, BECAUSE OF THE HIGH VOLUME OF GERMAN SHEPHERDS CURRENTLY IN SHELTERS WE ARE NOT ABLE TO TAKE ANY OWNER SURRENDERS. HOWEVER, IF THE DOG IS SPAYED/NEUTERED WE WILL OFFER A COURTESY POSTING ON PETFINDER TO REHOME YOUR DOG. NOTE: Owners wishing to surrender their GSD will be required to have their dog heartworm tested prior to consideration of being taken into our program. We apologize for the inconvenience, but we are a small organization that does not have the resources or funds to treat. We also only take in purebred German Shepherds. Papers are not required.

To say that though Harry Greb beat the best array of Lightheavywights, Greb didnt beat any top middleweights is silly...Harry Greb at any time in his illustrious career DID and COULD have made 160 pounds when he had to...And here is a list of some middleweights Greb beat...Mickey Walker, Tiger Flowers, Jeff Smith, Mike Gibbons, Eddie McGoorty, Soldier Bartfield, Augie Ratner, Buck Crouse, Frank Mantell, George Chip, Al McCoy etc.
These MWS compare with any later group of 160 pounders. GREB was allways a middleweight when he had to be and in his last year before his death Greb came in at 158 pounds and beat the Toy Bulldog handily...
When Greb fought the "big boys", he ate what he wanted to ,enjoyed life in between bouts, and still licked the likes of Gene Tunney, Tommy Gibbons, Jack Dillon, Tommy Loughran, Billy Miske, Gunboat Smith, Maxie Rosenbloom, Kid Norfolk, Bill Brennan, Willie Meehan etc. Tell me what MW can you name that could fight the roster of top fighters from MW to heavyweights and do half as well ? Answer truly, NONE...

Save Egypt with your scarab! Enter Luxor's 5th passage and see if you can save Egypt from impending doom! Use your sharp reflexes to destroy the unrelenting stream of colored balls before they enter the pyramid! Move fast and you will be rewarded!
1.Move your mouse to aim the winged scarab. Click to launch a colored sphere at the moving line. Match sets of three or more identically colored spheres to remove them from the line.
2.The sphere in the winged scarab's claws is the next color available. Scroll the mouse wheel to swap between colors in your shooter.
3.Catch the falling symbols and treasure with your scarab to collect bonus points.
Tips and Strategies
· Lead your target! Remember, a line of spheres can move fairly quickly; instead of aiming where a potential match currently is, you should aim at where it will be once your sphere reaches that part of the screen. Lines move fastest when they are first entering the screen.
· If your current sphere has been replaced with a powerup, you can save it for later use by cycling to the next sphere and using that one instead. Don't use a powerup just because you happen to have it; planning the best time to release it is key to maximizing your advantage.
· Don't waste time catching treasure if your spheres are very close to entering the pyramid! Treasure means nothing if you lose the game!
· Causing a chain reaction of multiple matches will force the current line to roll backwards a bit. The bigger the chain, the more the line retreats. Handy, if you're getting too close to the pyramid!

The Pros and Cons of Outsourcing
But there are downsides.
"Companies that outsource need to really sell the benefits beyondcorporate cost-savings to the employees. Many have established relationshipswith HR professionals within their company, people they know and that they relyon for quick and accurate answers to their questions," says Deb Thobe, CEOof Thobe Group, Inc., a human resources management consulting group inCarrollton, Texas.
Thobe knows people who've reacted to outsourcing HR with a feeling ofabandonment. She says if a company views its HR department as a true strategicbusiness partner-rather than a department of paper-pushing administrators-it'smuch more likely to keep HR in-house. "When HR is more like 'personnel,'it's also more apt to be outsourced, because the inherent value is notthere."
She says it's often easier for employees to accept the giving away of numbercrunching and administrative functions as long as the personal functions-likecompensation and benefits-are kept in-house.
"Ironically, outsourcing compensation activities usually doesn't savemoney," Thobe says. "It just moves the cost to a different part of thebalance sheet. Compensation activities require a realunderstanding of the industry, the company, and the day-to-day and strategicobjectives. It's not just about going to a survey book and getting somenumbers."
If a company chooses the right resource for its needs, however, it can dropsome dollars to the bottom line. What a company can't measure is the psychiccost, Thobe says. "You won't know the message employees receive when theyno longer have a local resource to turn to."
