text: Is there available any good race training information for real old guys. I mean reeeeeeeeeeeal old like 76. I have won two golds the last two years in the Rocky Moutain Senior Games, but this year I won the time trial by only eight seconds. And there are a bunch of 74 year old kids that will be aging up into the group (75-79) that I compete in, and to win I can no longer depend on being sneaky and devious. It will take hard, smart work so I need information that will help me with the "smart" part. I would like to find something less expensive that the $600 Carmichial Training System that Lance uses. Any help appreciated.

Aptly, apparently. I stand outside the bar in Midtown, smoking a cigarette to work up the nerve to go in. The doors are gold and heavy and on them a dress code is etched in cursive. I sigh, toss the cigarette and glide through them. From the backroom I can hear a man singing and playing piano. As I make my way there, rows of platinum hair at the bar turn to look at me, the sole woman here in white chiffon. I sit in the backroom and order a drink, attempting to banter with the bartender asking: 'are women allowed to sit here?" but coming off more concerned than charming. Warren, a tipsy, and youthful looking 50-year-old in a ball-cap sits next to me. "You came too early for the meat market" he teases. I tell Warren I intend to inquire about this meat. He estimates that about 80% of the younger guys come here looking specifically for someone older. He points to a secluded hallway area with chairs and tropical potted plants – "that is where the rent boys hang out."
Walter introduces me to a mutual friend of his who is tan with white teeth and entirely botoxed face except for some perfectly placed eye-area wrinkles. He explains that this area used to be crowded with bars like this one but this sort of scene isn't the norm anymore. In New York, post-AIDs, it was thrown out with the bath-house.
I wonder if the gay rights movement is also at all responsible for the image clean-up. As the gay community vies for the same basic rights that straight people have are they forced to play by those straight rules? Maybe. Or maybe not, as this man gives me a warning about bringing home those house-plant hanging-around house-boys — "I always hide the valuables quickly when I get back to the apartment. I once lost a Cartier watch for three years, I hid it so well!"
With only a handful of members showing up the cougars decided to play a game of scrabble. I inquired about the younger women who have come to these things, and Judy says that last time a 19 year-old showed up and said she was looking for someone to show her the ropes. I wonder, who is taking power in that situation? More importantly – did she stay for scrabble?
'Keeping up with someone's energy' is bullshit I have decided. I may be drunk, but it is true. The center of any May-December romance is power and money — which is delicious and which is what gives the whole thing its taboo. And call me greedy, but I think I want to be the one with the power. I sigh into my beer. I realize I am not going to hit on one of these cougars.
As I lean in my chair over the scrabble board, I chat with a baby-faced woman in her thirties as we played scrabble. She likes older women. Her last girlfriend was in her mid sixties. "A woman who is older is a woman who has come into herself. It is in her walk, the way she carries herself. There is no moral-floundering, no questioning every aspect of her life. It just is. She is. And that is the hottest thing in the world."
The cougar in pop-culture is, I guess, in her prime. Hetero "Cougar speed dating" is a strangely popular concept in New York – I suppose they are looking for men who can keep up with them? There are also cougar clubs all over the country, and an annual cougar cruise and a Miss Cougar USA pageant. Although, when I looked into a Chicago cougar club last year, I discovered it was started not by a cougar but the same guy who runs the cougar cruise and Miss Cougar contest (and lives in California.) Cougar-dating may be a marketing ploy, but age disparity in relationships is a real thing. As well as a porn-genre. Plus, there are celeb-examples: Linda Parry (formerly of 4 non blondes) and Sara Gilbert (formerly Darlene on Roseanne) have a 10 year gap. Rumoured couple Joan Jett and Carmen Electra shared 13. And Rachel Maddow and Susan Mikula have 15 year difference. Marc Jacobs and Anderson Cooper's respective paramours are a given.
I did find a 2008 study from the Journal of Lesbian Studies showing that when May-December lesbian relationships happen, the value the lesbian community places on egalitarianism impacts these couples, often negatively. (Late memo to the bisexual.) Similarly, a 1990 study published in the Journal of Homosexuality found that there were, in fact, power-sharing arrangements among lesbian couples studies — but among them egalitarianism between the couple was still considered ideal.
The lesbian cougars agree that the whole thing is not exactly accepted. Nor do they want it to be. "Who wants to feel like what they are doing isn't a little bad?" says one of them. As she says it, we are still just playing Scrabble.

Tablesaw Accessories
Rip fence glides along
The rip fence on my Powermatic 66 tablesaw didn't glide as smoothly across the tabletop as I liked, so I made a $5 improvement. I bought a 2" fixed rubber caster at the hardware store and attached it to the bottom of the far end of the fence as shown below. The wheel rolls on the angle iron attached to the back of the saw. I put a spacer between the caster and the fence to give me 1/32" clearance above the tabletop. The fence now glides effortlessly across the table.

Girl About Town column by Pamela Sitt says goodbye to Seattle Times readers.
Dear Readers:
In a former life, I was a TV Addict. Confession: I am having a relapse. I've accepted a position at RealNetworks as TV editor of Film.com, so this is my final column in The Seattle Times.
I started here eight years ago as an intern in the Features department. One of my first assignments was helping to cover the opening of EMP. I recall being amazed at getting to occupy the same space as Gwen Stefani and being paid to write about it.
Years later, I reviewed her concert at KeyArena: "Between songs, my friend Christina turned to me and said, 'I think Gwen's pregnant.' … If anyone would notice, it's Christina, who loves Gwen so much she tried to make me dress up as a Harajuku Girl for Halloween. ('Pam, which one do you want to be: Love, Angel, Music or Baby?')." Two weeks later, the baby news was all over the tabloids.

Most Read Stories
It's a cool job. I feel very lucky to have had it. But it turns out it's not enough to be paid to go to parties and stalk celebrities; I want to be paid to watch them on TV because I am that lazy.
Anyone who has followed my writing over the years knows that in saying farewell, I will be neither sentimental nor profound.
I hereby present the Top 10 Reasons I'm Leaving The Seattle Times:
10. Because it's environmentally irresponsible for one person to generate so much paper from press releases, prison letters, fan mail, hate mail, Valentine's Day cards from strangers, and invitations to JJ McKay parties.
9. Because I only have so many cocktail dresses and I've already been photographed in all of them — twice — by Duell Fisher's crack team of event photographers at Team Photogenic.
8. Because what's the point of sitting next door to Larry Stone and Steve Kelley if they're never around to answer my burning baseball questions?
7. Because I'm never going to top the time David Postman and I went to a rave looking for interviews after the Capitol Hill shootings, and someone referred to him as my "Sugar Daddy."
6. Because the Donna Martin Barbie on my desk won't shut up about the "90210" spinoff coming to The CW, so I need an excuse to write about TV again.
5. Because Nancy Leson never invites me to go on restaurant reviews with her anymore. This could be because I always want to order the chicken Caesar salad.
4. Because I need to continue to punish my parents for not letting me watch TV. They made me read books instead. A cautionary tale.
3. Because Danny Westneat once told me that being miserable is one of the main parts of being a columnist, and who wants to be miserable all the time? Sucker.
2. Because Mark "Q&A" Rahner still calls me "intern."
1. Because I'm not really a glamour girl at heart; I'm a couch potato.
1. Because I have Tim Gunn's cellphone number, so my work here is done. (OK, so that was 11 reasons, but I've never been good at math.)
Thank you, and carry on.

For women who prefer insulation on both the top and bottom of the bag (as opposed to Big Agnes' usual matt-sleeve-on-bottom design), the Big Agnes Betty SL Sleeping Bag is an ideal choice. This bag's unique three-layer insulation helps move sweaty moisture away from your skin while keeping you warm through the chilly nights of late spring and early fall. Vertical baffles control the distribution of insulation from the hood all the way down to the tapered footbox. From the draft-stopping collar at the neck to the no-draft zipper that runs along the side, this bag will provide warmth for car camping by the river or overnighters along the trail.
- 27-degree temperature rating and synthetic insulation means that this bag is ideal for shoulder season camping missions or car camping during late spring and early fall
- Pinneco Core insulation uses three layers of fiber insulation with a breathable membrane at the core
- The interior Pinneco layer reflects self-generated body heat, the internal layer traps warmed air for additional warmth, and the outer layer releases sweaty moisture so your skin stays dry
- Pinneco Core insulation is a recyclable insulation that's manufactured free of hazardous chemicals
- Vertical baffles allow insulation to spread out evenly so you get the most consistent warmth from head to toe
- Insotect tubic construction uses arched insulation fiber that improves the loft resiliency after this sleeping bag is packed, and it creates larger trapped air space for the most efficient use of thermal energy and warmth
- Mummy shape reduces cold spots and weight
- Unlike most Big Agnes sleeping bags, the Betty SL has insulation on the top and bottom rather than no insulation on the bottom
- Nylon taffeta lining is soft and smooth so it feels comfortable against your skin when you're sleeping with minimal layers
- Zipper allows you to mate left- and right-zip sleeping bags to form one large sleeping bag so two can sleep together and share body heat
- Liner loops make it easy to attach a lightweight fleece or synthetic liner inside this sleeping bag and keep it in place when you're sleeping
- Collar, zipper wedge, and zipper all feature draft-stopping construction that keeps cold air from creeping in at the openings
- Mesh storage sack allows you to store your sleeping bag loosely to maximize the lifespan of the loft of the insulation inside

Great bag for my son!
- Familiarity: I've used it several times
I bought this sleeping bag in hopes of keeping my 5 year old son warm on backpacking trips in Yosemite. After 3 nights at or around 10,000 feet, I'm pretty happy with my purchase. Being a 5 year old boy with endless energy during the day, he sleeps hard with some concern of accidents. I needed a sleeping bag that would t get damaged under the circumstances, but was still light enough for my son the carry. Down was out of the question.
This fit the bill pretty well. We bought the petite, and it has worked well for him. I stuff all of his clothes at the bottom of the bag, and coupled with a zlite pad, this bag is warm enough for any summer or late season Sierra trip.
I gave this bag 4 stars for the compressibility. Well, lack there of. For being a small bag, the synthetic insulation doesn't allow it to compress as much as I'd hope. This bag fills up his backpack, but that's fine for now as he doesn't carry much.
All in all... I'm stoked I bought it for him.
So far, so good!
- Familiarity: I've used it once or twice and have initial impressions
I bought this sleeping bag a few weeks ago, and have only used it for one, three day backpacking trip. So far it has been great. The weather at night was in the mid-forties to mid-fifties, and I was able to comfortably sleep in a short sleeved tee-shirt. It packs well into the stuff sack, and fit great in my pack.
Hi, does the Big Agnes Betty zip with the Big Anes Grouse Mountain sleeping bag?
Any of the Big Agnes bags should be able to be zipped together provided that you have the same length bag and the zippers are on opposite sides.
Only some big Agnes bags zip together completely. I have a mystic sl and a roxy Ann and only the top zippers match up. Big Agnes tells you the zipper number so to make sure just look at their site for specs first. I wish big Agnes uses the same zipper for all bags.

- Company: DIOR HOMME
- Price: $435
- Official Site: DIORHOMME.com
The Dior Homme Toiletry Kit, handcrafted in Italy, is made of black leather in a grained calfskin. The slim profile of this handsome men's accessory is a mere 4 inches wide and 10 inches long, with a center zipper closure. This toiletry kit is completed with a matching grained calfskin leather handle for easy carrying. The interior features a spun-cotton lining.
Traveling today is a process filled with security checkpoints, X-ray machines and the need to have your personal items close at hand in your carry-on luggage. So, you might as well have a well-made, stylish and streamlined toiletry kit on hand to toss into your briefcase or shoulder bag. In a world full of nylon and plastic toiletry kits, the Dior Homme is a standout of sublime design and functionality. No matter how many times you'll have to unpack and pack your bags en route, you'll never be embarrassed of this case making an appearance. Better still is its trim profile, which allows you to pack it in almost any carry-on case without sacrificing precious room.
First of all, let's consider the price: high indeed for such a small grooming accessory case, but you'll likely never buy another toiletry kit after splurging on the Dior Homme because it is simply that well made. Yes, the nylon and cheap plastic variety are readily available and easy to replace, but they'll just add to the growing layers of plastic in your local landfill. Now consider that if you buy the Dior Homme you'll probably have it for a lifetime. Polish it as needed with saddle soap or a shoe-shine kit over the years and it will look better than new because it'll have the scrapes and the scars of your many adventures on the road, in the sky and on the water. Of course, you could just opt for a cheap drugstore case and always look like an errant spring break reject in Fort Lauderdale. Then again, you could travel like a man with the Dior Homme Toiletry Kit and pack it with the best grooming products you can find so that no matter where you end up, you will always look and feel your best.

An excerpt from www.HouseOfNames.com archives copyright © 2000 - 2016
From the ancient and beautiful Italian island of Sicily emerged a variety of distinguished names, including the notable surname Parisi. Although people were originally known only by a single name, it became necessary for people to adopt a second name to identify themselves as populations grew and travel became more frequent. The process of adopting fixed hereditary surnames was not complete until the modern era, but the use of hereditary family names in Italy began in the 10th and 11th centuries. Italian hereditary surnames were developed according to fairly general principles and they were characterized by a profusion of derivatives coined from given names. Although the most traditional type of family name found in the region of Sicily is the patronymic surname, which is derived from the father's given name, local surnames are also found. Local names, which are the least frequent of the major types of surnames found in Italy, are derived from a place-name where the original bearer once resided or held land. Often Italian local surnames bore the prefix "di," which signifies emigration from one place to another, and does not necessarily denote nobility. The Parisi family lived in Sicily.
The surname Parisi was first found in before the Norman invasion of the 10th and 11th centuries. Gualterio Parisio, who was Governor of Paris, France, arrived in Sicily with the Norman princes in 998.
Italian surnames come in far more variations than the names of most other nationalities. Regional traditions and dialects are a decisive factor in this characteristic. For example, northern names tend to end in "o", while southern in "i". Also important, but not unique to Italy, was the fact that before dictionaries and the printing press most scribes simply spelled words according to their sounds. The predictable result was an enormous number of spelling variations. The recorded spellings of Parisi include Parigi, Parisi, Parise, Pariso, Parisio, Paris, Parissi, Parisse, Parigini, Parisini, Parisotti, Parisotto, Parisetti, Parisani, Parisato and many more.
This web page shows only a small excerpt of our Parisi research. More information is included under the topic Early Parisi History in all our PDF Extended History products.
Another 207 words (15 lines of text) are included under the topic Early Parisi Notables in all our PDF Extended History products.
An examination of many early immigration records reveals that people bearing the name Parisi arrived in North America very early:
Parisi Settlers in United States in the 19th Century
Parisi Settlers in United States in the 20th Century
The Parisi Family Crest was acquired from the Houseofnames.com archives. The Parisi Family Crest was drawn according to heraldic standards based on published blazons. We generally include the oldest published family crest once associated with each surname.

Patient Comments: Scabies - Effective Treatments
What kinds of treatments have been effective for your scabies?
Comment from: BELIEVER, 45-54 Female (Patient) Published: October 15
Scabies was 3 months of hell. Really. Anyone that's had it knows. I have a low immune system maybe why I got it much worse than my child (we think we caught it from the next door neighbor's dog, as they wrapped furniture outside in plastic and took off for 2 weeks and came back with shaved heads). Cost me $500 and lost work. It was a nightmare. I want to add ivermectin was what turned the tide after 3 months. Still doing most of the protocol. Still have some itching in eyebrows and scalp, which I coat at night with coconut oil. Works wonders. I also was spot treating any itch with an alcohol swab. Really works. Getting rid of this nightmare is like a full time job. Be vigilant. Bag everything you can in plastic bags. Treat and retreat. Diatomaceous earth is your friend. Buy food grade.
Comment from: jeanie p., 55-64 Female (Patient) Published: January 02
Rubbing alcohol soaked with paper towel brings immediate relief for scabies. I was on fire till I did this. Some older spots need more applications. It works; try it the cheap way to get rid of the sorry things.
Comment from: mikesays, 19-24 Male (Patient) Published: July 21
I'm going through an awful time with scabies. I went to the doctor and got prescribed permethrin 5% cream and hydroxyzine, it hasn't been working. I cannot sleep, I'm miserable, I am going to try a hot bath with Clorox in it. I'm hoping it works.
Comment from: MissC, 13-18 Female (Caregiver) Published: October 15
One of my teenagers had a friend who kept getting re-infested with scabies, then re-infesting us. I finally had enough and told my teen to tell his friend to please bug bomb as part of the treatment (flea bomb his house). Along with laundering everything, vacuuming all carpets, encasing all bed mattresses with a hypo-allergenic shell (inexpensive through Walmart), and treating with the cream (we have to leave it on longer than directed or it doesn't work), the bombing finishes what cleaning misses. My mother's care home has just been diagnosed with an outbreak, and they have need of less harmful products. There's now a product line called Cedar Bug Free that looks promising.
Comment from: I hate Itching, 45-54 Male (Patient) Published: October 15
I got scabies from my grandkids. I have found that a 1/4 cup of Boric Acid 1 cup of hydrogen peroxide and 2 cups of warm water put into a spray bottle does give some relief. What I've read the Permethrin cream is a joke. Also tea tree oil works well, it just takes time. I don't believe a nuclear blast can kill this junk. Still itching.
Comment from: ashers909, 19-24 Female (Patient) Published: May 06
I have no idea how I got scabies. I didn't really notice it or anything until about two weeks later. I finally went to the doctor, and I used permethrin. It has worked really well, and everything on my hands, elbows, and anywhere on my body in general, is gone. I'm still a little paranoid though, but the itching is almost gone, and everything seems to be healing.
Comment from: 65-74 Male Published: May 06
I have had scabies for about six months. I saw the doctor, and he prescribed permethrin cream. That worked OK, but I kept getting re-infected. I treated my shoes with insecticide, and that helped for a while. I found some encapsulated scabies in my favorite leather chair. I think this is how I kept getting re-infected. After I would sit in the chair for a while, I could feel them on my skin again. I used Borax on my chair, and hopefully it will kill the capsulated creeps.
Comment from: Vertige, 25-34 Male (Patient) Published: May 06
I'm still perplexed as to how I got scabies. I was in a long-term relationship that ended, and my partner and I still speak regularly. He has not had scabies, and I have not had sexual contact with anyone else, yet I can't get rid of it. I'm on my fifth tube of 5% permethrin (and a sixth one ready to go in a week's time). All this permethrin does is keep the scabies at bay, but I always get re-infected. I'm tired of cleaning the house from top to bottom to get rid of the scabies. I even tried sleeping on the floor for two weeks with new bedding and didn't sit on any of the furniture, and I still got re-infected.

You folks can be counted on for serious and thoughtful input when asked for it. And I think I could use some of exactly that. I am considering signing up for a group ride (my first organized ride ever) on June 30. It is billed as the First Annual Queen City Century. This is a link to ride info. http://www.springbike.org/pdfs/Queen...Flyer_5-25.pdf
There are 30, 62 and 100 mile options.
This is a link to the 100 mile route. http://www.bikely.com/maps/bike-path...gfield-Century
I am trying to decide if I think I am up for the 100 mile option or not. I'm 55, started riding again last May on a Trek Navigator. An entry drug if there ever was one. I rode it religiously for nearly a year, working my way up to a 55 mile trek around Stockton Lake in early April. That did not kill me, or even come close. Son Chris and I did that ride with one lunch break and one get off the bikes and stretch for about five minutes break. It took us about four hours to do that ride.
Now I'm riding a lot better bike, a Coda Elite, which is not a conventional road bike, but is far away from the Navigator in lots of ways. I ride three to six nights a week, and routinely ride 30 to 35 miles, without any breaks. And I feel fine when I get in. But I'm not fast either. I'm amazed when I read about folks averaging 16 and 18 MPH and faster on long rides, the highest average speed I've done on a 30 miler is just over 13 MPH. Maybe that's partly due to riding in hilly country and I'm a crappy climber, but maybe it's because I'm not all that fit yet and maybe it's because I should be on a better bike and maybe it's all three together.
But back to the primary question, what to do on June 30? I'm very tempted to sign up for the 100 mile option. The route does not appear to be terribly hilly and there are six rest stops including a lunch stop approximately mid way through. Full sag support too. I'm pretty hard headed about getting things done, and barring the unforeseen, I THINK I would likely eventually get it done. But I don't want to embarass myself or others by getting in over my head on a first organized ride, and I don't want to hold up things by being so slow and so late that they send out a search party for me either. I really like the idea of challenging myself and pushing limits a bit. The 62 miler is nothing to sneeze at, but at this point, the larger challenge is calling to me. At least in part because a good bit of the 62 mile option is over MUP's that I've ridden so many times it's ridiculous and I would like to do something new and exciting. But I have second thoughts too or I wouldn't be posting this would I?
So, advice requested is along the lines of do the century or not, and if do it, any advice about preparations between now and then, eating before and during the ride (I don't normally eat while riding - should I change that?), pacing oneself and so on. Thanks in advance for any replies.

Thank you for your question. Please permit me to assist you with your concerns.
Depending on the state, some only require a listing of the registered agent for their records and an address where the entity can be served. However there is no real way to keep all your records from the official records--you can create a trust that starts the company, but then the name of the trustee would still be registered with the state. You can essentially try to make this as complicated as possible by creating multiple shells, but at some point the name of the creator (your name) would still need to be provided to the state--that is done to ensure that the state has someone personally to pursue in case of liability tax non-payments and other missed obligations. You can use an address different from your address BUT it has to be an address where you can still be personally found and served if necessary.
Hope that helps.
Thank you for the response. I am in the state of Maryland.
Right now, when creating a S-Corp and even if using a registered agent, the owners personal name and address are public records and readily available on the Internet.
If I create a Trust, and I am the Trustee, would the Trustee name also be public domain information?
Or, if yes, is there a way for a registered agent to be named the Trustee?
I do not have a problem with the IRS knowing who I am. I am not comfortable with my personal name and home address on the Internet and so easily accessible.
Thank you for your follow-up, Sophia.
Have you considered possibly setting up a business in a different state, and the registering it as a foreign entity in Maryland? If you create a trust, the trustee information would not be public domain but it would be required to be registered with the state. Also, if you end up using the trust to set up the business, then the trustee information would be public because it would go on the filing paperwork. You really do not want the registered agent to be the trustee, he would then be the only one able to make decisions for the trust and could conceivably take everything within the trust as it would be his to do with as he sees fit within the confines of the trust language.
Thank you. I am not familiar with the concept of registering the business as a foreign entity. If I chose this route, what information is available in the public records? Or, how does this help me?
Different states have different obligations. Depending on the state, some permit you to only place the information of the registered agent on the initial filing. Then, if you file in your home state, you can use the registered agent information and the address to the already established business as the address of record.
Ok, I understand. Do you know what states permit you to only place the information of the registered agent on the initial filing? e.g. Deleware, etc...
My apologies on the delay. It appears Delaware does not place owner information onto their public record site, so that may be a good state to start with in terms of providing as little information as possible. It likewise appears Wyoming also does not list owner information on their online search strings.
Hope that helps!
Follow up question. I am proceeding with starting a business in Wyoming and I've confirmed that it does not require my personal information to be entered.
After I am established in Wyoming, I wanted to stand up a foreign entity in MD. However, my CPA thinks that MD may still require me to provide my personal name and address to MD and that it may show on the MD public records site. Do you know if MD will only require the information from Wyoming or if MD will require me to have a physical address in MD?
Based on my review MD will require your personal information (I remember your question from last week, and remember them requesting the personal information from the principal). Perhaps it may be wise to only register in Wyoming and not register in MD. That depends on how much business you are seeking to pursue, but it may then avoid their reporting requirements.
Good luck!

Surf spot in middle of highway dispute
SACRAMENTO A new dispute has erupted over protecting the world-famous surf spot of Trestles just three days before a state commission decides whether to recommend it for listing on the National Register of Historic Places.
Two Republican senators are questioning whether a now-retired state Department of Parks and Recreation employee was carrying out a "personal agenda" at taxpayer expense in helping the Surfrider Foundation apply for the designation for Trestles in north San Diego County.
Sens. Mark Wyland of Solana Beach and Mimi Walters of Irvine say a listing would create another barrier for the Orange County-based Transportation Corridor Agencies as the joint powers authorities continue to pursue a stalled plan to extend the state Route 241 toll road south to San Onofre State Beach and Trestles.
It also could impede training at Camp Pendleton, the senators said. But the state parks department said a historic designation does not prevent military use of the land.
Mark Rauscher, coastal preservation manager for the Surfrider Foundation in San Clemente, said the parks employee was just doing his job. The state parks department agreed.
The state Historic Resources Commission, an arm of the parks department, is expected to take up the application by the Surfrider Foundation on Friday.
Surfrider's application argues that Trestles is an important landmark and embedded in California's surf culture, thereby worthy of a designation. Critics say that claim of importance is exaggerated.
In a joint announcement, Wyland and Walters say that in 2008 Wayne Donaldson urged the Coastal Commission to block the toll road application. Donaldson, until his Sept. 28 retirement, was the state historic preservation officer holding a key role in processing designation requests.
Donaldson "has made no secret of his desire to use his state post and taxpayer resources to create a roadblock," the senators said.
Wyland and Walters want the state parks department to release calendar entries and other material that could reveal his alleged cooperation with the Surfrider Foundation and other toll road critics.
"The public deserves to know if taxpayer dollars are being used to further a personal political agenda …," the senators wrote.
In a statement, the parks department said it has yet to receive any request for information.
"The California Office of Historic Preservation will be happy to release any and all records related to this nomination that are requested from us, as we do with all Public Records Act requests," the parks statement said.
Trestles has been one of the flash points in ongoing battles between preservationists and those who say extension of the Route 241 toll road is imperative to easing gridlock in the region.
Rauscher did not dispute the fact that Donaldson assisted in preparing the new 59-page submission for action by the historical commission, given its complexity.
"Wayne's job was to designate and make sure historic sites are preserved," Rauscher said.
Donaldson could not be reached for comment.
State parks officials said the commission staff regularly communicates with all parties.
"The entire process is open and transparent, nothing is done in secrecy …" it says.
This is actually the second bid to get Trestles listed. The first attempt went through the separate State Lands Commission and was not submitted to the state Historic Resources Commission. Donaldson had a role in both applications, Rauscher said.
The first attempt received an initial approval, but the U.S. Navvy objected, noting possible interference with the mission at Camp Pendleton. The historic designation would cover 2.5 miles of land owned by the Navy.
That forced Surfrider to start over again, but this time work through the Historic Resources Commission.

Ron Howard Abandoning Dark Tower And Directing Spy vs. Spy Instead?
By Josh Tyler 2011-06-22 17:25:01 comments
Yesterday when Ron Howard updated everyone on the status of The Dark Tower here he remained positive about the project and seemed to indicate that it was still rolling ahead, albeit at a slower pace. Im not sure what sort of pipeweed he was smoking, but its becoming increasingly likely that this view is untrue and that in fact, Dark Tower is headed for development hell.
Today alone Ron Howard has been confirmed to be in talks to direct two different projects. Earlier today we told you hes considering an F1 racing drama called Rush. Now word comes from Deadline that hes moving forward with a big screen adaptation of the Mad Magazine comic strip, Spy vs. Spy, of all things. Quite a step down in material from The Dark Tower, isnt it Ron?
The same Deadline story insists that hes still planning to turn in a rewrite of The Dark Tower, but as he gets busier and busier, youve got to wonder where Ron Howards priorities lie. Vulture seems to think the whole project is pretty much doomed. They hint that the reason were hearing Howards name suddenly involved in so many different projects all at once, is because word around Hollywood is that hes about to be freed up from Dark Tower and so everyones going to him looking to bring him on board their project. That fits.

Follow Up: Florida Bar Revokes Advisory Ethics Opinion About LinkedIn
The Florida Bar's September advisory opinion concerning LinkedIn led to one of our most-popular blog posts of all time. So, news coming through this week from the Bar's Board of Governors certainly caught our attention. The Board met last Friday (December 13th), and, as its Report indicates:
The board requested that Standing Committee on Advertising prepare an advisory opinion on implications of Bar members using the LinkedIn social and professional networking site. The board also voted to revoke a staff advisory letter stating that the use of LinkedIn violates Bar rules.
(Emphasis added)
There were some other technology-related developments, but this is the one that's bound to garner the most discussion. There were many complaints when the original advisory opinion came out, so it's interesting to see that the board has backtracked. Is this an institutional understanding of modern social networking, and a recognition that the conventional understanding of attorney advertising does not fit neatly into a box? Or just a response to a backlash? Either way, Florida attorneys can once again collect those endorsements and recommendations to their hearts' content.

Soccer teammates of Diren Dede remembered him today in Germany with a moment of silence and a fundraiser at their youth soccer game.
The German newspaper Hamburger Morgenpost reported more than 1,000 people came out to show their support.
Among those in attendance were Dede's mother and sisters, along with many other Turkish families. Reports said the different families sold traditional Turkish food and drinks to raise donations for the family.
The family said they will use the funds to help with expenses in hiring a lawyer in the United States.

State Minorities Commission has urged Union home minister Sushil Kumar Shinde to hand over investigation of Purna, Parbhani and Jalna bomb blasts to National Investigation Agency (NIA).
It said the blasts may have been carried out by right-wing Hindu groups and police and Maharashtra ATS seem to have overlooked vital clues.
It is pertinent to note that during a search, Nanded Police recovered namaz caps, fake beard and Muslim attire from the house of RSS member Laxman Kondawar, but neither local police nor ATS has shown seriousness about these vital clues, commission chairman Munaf Hakeem has said in a letter sent to Shinde on January 17.
At the Congress chintan shivir last week, the home minister had accused BJP and RSS of conducting terror training camps and promoting Hindu terrorism.
NIA is probing the 2006 and 2008 Malegaon blasts. Its officers said they had made an informal inquiry in Jalna, Purna, Parbhani and Nanded cases but were yet to receive written orders. These are also in all probability cases of right-wing terror. We are looking at links, said an officer.
Another senior officer said, Facts of some of these cases are being used in our other probes. We are yet to receive orders from the ministry of home affairs.

Everybody has some special biking related area where they live that makes the rest of us a little jealous. When I see pics from the NW, CO or UT, I wish I was there. The East and North East is rich with history. The south always gloats with its ride pics when most of the rest of us are iced and snowed in tight. And of course Mr. Beanz has it all.
Well, about once a month I get to ride THE TUNNEL HILL TRAIL. This is a great rail trail in Southern Illinois about 20 minutes from my house. The trail is 47 miles long from end to end. You can get rock bluffs, deep woods, wetlands and farm land. My favorite ride is a 20 mile "out and back" (10 each direction) that is truly two different trips. Starting from the Vienna (pronounced VI-ANNA) trail head going north, for ten miles that take you through numerous rock cuts, over 8 trestles, one which is 90ft high and over 500ft long, and up to and though an amazing train tunnel that is almost 600ft long and goes completely pitch black for most of the ride through. All you see is the light at the end and you have zero sense of where the walls are. Everyone who experiences it for the first time, is completely freaked out.
What makes this particular ride nice is that the first 10 miles is all uphill. Not much at all, but enough to know you have gained altitude. So the ride back treat you with low resistance and all the stuff you didn't see on the way up.
Here is a link to all the pics: http://s425.photobucket.com/albums/p...Tunnel%20Hill/
And here are a few that I picked out.
Approaching the Tunnel
Entering. You can see the date of the tunnel at the top. 1929
As you can see, there are ghost orbs inside this thing :-o

Several of these rock cuts that were just wide enough for the train. you would not have wanted to be in one of these when the train came through.

After two trip reports flying business class, I decide to go the relatively new unchartered Low Cost Airlines LCC field in Japan. Given the relatively limited schedules of these three new Japanese LCC entrants, it is quite a challenge to squeeze in three flights within a twenty-four hours window. Nonetheless I managed and thanked god for mostly on time performances. Skymark Airlines is one of the earliest LCCs established in Japan and I flew it previously and honestly would not want to repeat that experience anytime soon. I chose to fly Peach, Air Asia Japan (soon defunct), and Jetstar Japan, and my routing was to fly Peach from Kansai to Sapporo, and then fly Air Asia Japan from Sapporo to Narita, and then fly Jetstar from Narita to Kansai the next morning. It was not a perfect sample, as some of these flights depart the respective airlines' home bases, and some relied on the infrastructure of the airports. When I reflected on these three airlines, the LCC experiences in Japan are definitely better than other regions in the world. Yes the boarding and security lines are more crowded and yes you have to walk up and down the stairs a lot, and most flights depart from a remote gate. For most mainline operations, remote gates are pretty rare for the two major Japanese carriers. In terms of seats, both ANA and JAL really cramped their domestic planes anyway, so Airbus A320s are pretty comfortable. Seat pitch wise – not major different from the mainline, but of course you don't need to pay for a seat on the major carriers. In terms of catering, the two major airlines offer limited selection of beverages – juices, water, tea or consommé soup – coffee on some airlines and morning flights. However the main difference is the check-in experience, more personable services, as well as more efficient boarding systems. The cutoff times are shorter, and everything runs smoother. The boarding experiences are less hassled. Anyway, given how disciplined the Japanese are, no one was trying to break the rules especially the carry on situations. At least for those three flights, I felt that passengers were very disciplined, but these three airlines really give me very different impressions.
Here is my complete itinerary:
Day 1
MM 107 KIX-CTS Lv1530 Arr1725 Airbus A320-200 JA804P
JW 8528 CTS-NRT Lv1905 Arr2040 Airbus A320-200 Sharklet JA05AJ
Day 2
GK 103 NRT-KIX Lv0725 Arr0850 Airbus A320-200 JA05JJ
Honestly all three websites are pretty standard LCC stuff, and they are actually a step above major airlines, as they rely on customers to use the websites to change, cancel and do all the reservation related matters. The fares are clearly listed and all three offered different levels of flights. I am able to select the seats I want and the surcharge for exit seat is reasonable. Air Asia offers a bit more in terms of preordering food, which I appreciate. However Air Asia Japan and Jetstar have the advantages of using the system from their mother company, so I give more credits to Peach, as its website is just as good as the other two websites. I only tried online check-in for Jetstar Japan, but failed because I had an exit row seat. But strangely I was able to use the kiosk.
All three airlines pretty much encourage you to use online check-in and Air Asia opens its web check-in fourteen days prior to departure, and both Jetstar and Peach open its online check in on a more traditional 48 hours prior to departure timeline. There are reminder emails from each airline. However all airlines allow complimentary kiosk check-in and airport check-in. However for Peach, airport check-in including kiosks only opens 90 minutes prior to departure for domestic flights (international flights will open two hours prior to departure). While both Air Asia Japan and Jetstar Japan open their check-in at the two hours prior to departure for both international and domestic flights, Peach has a different guideline.
Peach's main hub is Osaka Kansai Airport's Terminal Two, which is as bare as one expects. It is basically a warehouse structure with a convenient store, a few eateries, a bookstore, and Peach's check-ins for international and domestic flights. All arrival and departure flights use the same floor. From the main terminal and the train station, you need to take a complimentary bus to the main terminal, so please make sure you allocate plenty of time. It is a five minutes bus ride from the Aeroplaza to Terminal Two. The shuttles seem to run frequently, but there is a ride involved.

Peach's check-in kiosk
Carry-on allowance – one personal item and one carry on bag that fits into this box
I give Peach high marks because there are many staffs wearing the Peach t-shirts assisting with the check in. Since it owns its own terminal, they can easily control the flow of passengers. There are no lines and everything seems to be running in order. Despite there were three domestic flights departing around the same time, crowding is not an issue. Security checks are not crowded and indeed the lines are the shortest out of all three LCCs.
Peach Check-in at Sapporo Chitose – near Air Asia check-in – please no kiosk at this station!
Air Asia Japan has its own check-in counter at Sapporo but it is located in the arrival level, along with Peach. You will have to go up one floor for check-in. Please remember that you must use the assigned security checkpoint, as there is a different boarding pass verification process here at Chitose Airport. ANA and JAL have their automatic scanners, but obviously the LCCs don't have those automatic boarding pass scanners. They have to stamp your boarding passes, so please remember. I will also apologize for the lack of pictures for Air Asia Japan, as it was a night flight with limited photo taking opportunities. Similar to Air Asia in KLIA, you have to use the kiosk to check-in and if you have check-in bags, you then drop off your bags. Air Asia Japan operates similarly with other Air Asia ventures, but the difference is that the check-in cutoff time for domestic flights are thirty minutes, instead of forty-five minutes with most Air Asia flights.
Jetstar Japan's major hub is Tokyo Narita Airport, and its check-in counters are located in the mezzanine level of Terminal Two. As expected there are the usual check-in lines, reservation lines and baggage drop off lines. There are plenty of kiosks, and there are many staffs readily available to assist with any issue. Check-in at airport begins two hours prior to departure, and closes thirty minutes prior to departure. There are staffs consistently making sure that people standing in line will not miss the flights. The baggage drop-off lines are very busy, as Jetstar has many flights in the morning. Indeed, out of all three LCCs, Jetstar has the longest line for every aspect from baggage drop-off to security lines. I think the small security checkpoint is insufficient to handle its domestic operation. Please be aware the Jetstar Japan international flights check-in at a different part of the airport.
FDIS – most flights are operated by Jetstar Japan
Bus Depot for Jetstar Japan flights
I also snapped a picture of the Jetstar Japan check-in area at Osaka Kansai Airport, which is located next to JAL. The area was all deserted as the last morning flight to Okinawa had already departed when I took the picture. They have the kiosks here.

Family floaters are simpler to manage in that one can add or reduce members and the maximum sum assured can be used for the care of one or several members. They may also be marginally cheaper. However, typically they are renewable only till the oldest member of the group remains within renewable age, and, earlier continuous coverage and claim history may also not get proportionate benefit.

Fight continues to bring Tampa teen allegedly beaten by Israeli police home
On Tuesday, friends and family of the Universal Academy of Florida student stuck in Israel took to social media posting pictures with the hashtag "Bring Tariq home."
"Tariq is just your average, regular Tampa high school student," the family's attorney Hassan Shibly, the executive director of CAIR Florida said. "He likes to take selfies, play basketball, go fishing. He's not used to being in a conflict zone."
Tariq Abu Khdeir, 15, is currently being held under house arrest in Israel after an alleged brutal beating by Israel police.
"Right now, the family is just concerned about getting back to Tampa, Fla., as soon as possible so Tariq can get the medical treatment that he needs," Shibly said.
Khdeir is reportedly still suffering from headaches as a result of an attack Shibly says the teen did nothing to cause. The family has maintained he was merely observing a protest on behalf of his cousin, Muhammad Abu Khdeir, who was kidnapped and burned to death in what is widely believed to have been a revenge killing for the murders of three Israeli teens in the West Bank last month.
Tariq was in Jerusalem visiting family with his parents and sisters on his summer vacation.
"Tariq was not engaged in any sort of violent acts," said Shibly. "He was on his family's own land when he was brutally attacked by those police officers."
However, a spokesman for the Israeli police tells a different story. They say Tariq was no innocent bystander, but instead part of a masked group armed with knives.
"What I can confirm in that specific incident is he was one of the six people, masked Palestinians that was arrested. Three of the masked Palestinians were knifed. We know that he was wearing a kafia, which is the Muslim headdress, which is used to -- as far as the Palestians are concerned -- to try and not show their identity. The arrest should have been made fast and quickly, and what took place after that is obviously something that is being examined by the justice ministry. But let's not forget that we have to ask ourselves another question which is why was there an American Florida student -- how did he find himself in east Jerusalem breaking the law, throwing Molotov cocktails -- petrol bombs -- at police officers and finding himself in that type of situation?" Israeli police national spokesman Micky Rosenfeld said.
Shibly, on behalf of the Abu Khdeirs, called the statements unfounded and ridiculous.
"It almost sounds like some Israelis want to say that it's justifiable to brutally beat a 15-year-old kid," said Shibly. "Is that really the kind of country Israel is saying it is?"
CAIR is currently circulating a petition on Tariq's behalf. Their hope is to bring him home within the next couple of weeks.

They always tell you they can't promise things won't be cross-contaminated, but they still cook your steak and chicken perfectly! My only complaint is the limit of sides to choose from, but that's to be expected.
Decent GF menu available. But they can't guarantee against cross contamination.
245 Market Dr, Elyria, OH 44035
They do have a gluten free menu, which is probably short enough that it could fit on a 4x6 notecard. They can make steak, pork chops, chicken, or steak kabobs gluten free, but they don't offer any seasoning. They would not even put mushrooms and onions on my steak because those were seasoned. They also had about four side dish options and a couple of salads. That said, the server was knowledge and the steak was good, though nothing I couldn't have made at home. The peanuts were a nice alternative to bread and made me feel slightly better about missing out on their famous rolls.
39 Dowling Village Blvd, North Smithfield, RI 02896
Small GF menu good food. Ask for menu management also comes by to check in before you order. Can call in an hour in advance for GF roaster chicken
3317 S Rangeline Rd, Joplin, MO 64804
Awesome! Partner is celiac. Lots of options!
The menu may have been small to choose from but the food was good.
4512 W Loop 250 N, Midland, TX 79707
Can't have any seasoning on the meat, can't have a baked or sweet potato because they are fried, can't have their butter (they say). Managers will come and speak to you about the preparation which is nice but their is cross contamination and not many options other than steak with plain steamed veggies.
1651 Glidewell Dr, Burlington, NC 27215
Get sick every time I go there.
685 S Ring Rd, Layton, UT 84041
Small GF menu, but my steak and vegetable choice was expertly cooked and delicious. Explained to our server, Brady, that I'm Celiac and he took very good care of me and made sure everything was safe. The manager came by several times, too. If they get more folks coming in who must eat GF perhaps they will increase the number of GF choices they offer.
They have a gluten free menu with some choices.
9111 N Michigan Rd, Indianapolis, IN 46268
Management came and arranged for me to have 100% gluten free meal.
11973 S Strang Line Rd, Olathe, KS 66062
I've been here 3x since being diagnosed with celiac. Never gotten sick. They have a limited gluten free menu. However, if you are going for steak then you are pretty safe. The GF menu will state how to order, i.e. no seasoning or butter brush on steaks, no croutons, etc. Salad dressings are limited so think ahead and bring your own. They do offer a few sides like potatoes- baked & sweet as well as seasonal veggies. No rolls of course w/that crazy yummy butter but there is always peanuts! Buckets and buckets of peanuts! Staff has always been understanding and helpful. Love this place!
230 Hendersonville Rd, Asheville, NC 28803
Very accommodating for my daughter with celiac. Even made something off menu for her!! Thanks
20790 NY-3, Watertown, NY 13601
Very happy dining experience. While they don't have a gluten-free menu, they are gluten friendly and my waitress was able to make suggestions and tell me, "No, you can't have that!" I appreciated that, as this was my first time eating in a restaurant since going gluten-free. I had the 6 oz. sirloin (spice rub-free), the fresh mixed vegetables and the mashed potatoes-- all were delicious. A different server brought the food to our table. Since others in my party also got the sirloin, I asked if my dish was the gluten free one, as she wasn't the person who took my order. She was confident in her answer of yes, which was a huge relief. It showed me they take special issue requests seriously, from order to preparation to service. Very happy with my service and meal- two thumbs up!!
14200 E Iliff Ave, Aurora, CO 80014
I have had good experiences at other Texas Roadhouse locations, but this one is the worst. The food mostly tastes fine--what there is of it. The "Gluten Free Menu" is a xerox copy of some items on the menu that should be gluten free, but it actually forgets to list key ingredients such as salad dressings for the salads and seasonings for the meats. My server had no clue what she was doing. She refused to ask them to put salt and pepper on my steak because she was afraid they would accidentally gluten me, but brought me a salad with croutons on it. Then she couldn't figure out why I couldn't eat them and required a somewhat lengthy conversation to send it back. When she returned, she announced that the kitchen had told her that the ranch had gluten in it--the ranch that was sitting in a cup on top of my salad. I've been to this location a couple of times, but I'm finished trying to make it work. Don't go here if you want to have a pleasant and safe meal.
4309 Silverleaf Dr, Virginia Beach, VA 23462
Ive eaten here a few times now and haven't gotten sick. They have a gluten friendly menu and although I can't have the seasoning, the steak is delicious without. I have celiac and very sensitive so I think they do take seriously. they do have a gluten sensitive menu they call it.
102 Boston Providence Hwy, East Walpole, MA 02032
I always order carefully here and have the manager come to the table but they take very good care of their gluten free patrons. Beware if you have a peanut allergy there are peanuts everywhere.
1931 Blue Grass Cir, Cheyenne, WY 82009
Had a steak and baked Potato and was a little nervous but didn't have any reaction!
1651 Glidewell Dr, Burlington, NC 27215
They have several choices for entrees and sides. It wasn't hard to eat here and enjoy myself.
1300 Bass Pro Drive, Saint Charles, MO 63301
Our server got us a gluten-free menu and spoke to the chef regarding cross-contamination. I had the salmon, which was delicious! Along with a baked potato and mixed veggies. They made mention of having gluten-free butter and it was very good. I did not have stomach pains and felt comfortable eating here.

I've never gotten sick from here. I let the manager and waiter/waitress know and they accommodate me.
8744 Northpark Drive, Johnston, IA 50131
The staff were very helpful, the food was good, and I didn't get sick! Not many choices, though, especially if you don't want steak. Order steaks plain, no seasoning or "butter brush". As always, talk to your server.
334 Fountain View Cir, Alcoa, TN 37701
I LOVE their loaded baked potato!
4512 W Loop 250 N, Midland, TX 79707
They are all so helpful when it comes to GF. I have only ordered the chicken salad which has never made me sick.

New to town!
424 Broadway, Methuen, MA 01844
Ask your server for a GF menu and ask for no seasoning.

595 S 8th St, Colorado Springs, CO 80905
Good steak and baked potatoThey do have a limited gluten free menu.
334 Fountain View Cir, Alcoa, TN 37701
plenty to choose from here.
24020 Southwest Fwy, Rosenberg, TX 77471
This is not a safe place to eat. Not Celiac friendly!!!!!
24020 Southwest Fwy, Rosenberg, TX 77471
I got sick here. Theoretically you should be ok with a steak, salad and mashed potatoes IF they make you a fresh salad and do not use the grill baste on your steak. However I got a salad with the croutons picked out (crumbs all over it) which I had to send back and I'm pretty sure I got sick from them using the grill shortening anyway despite my conversation with the manager. I'd be willing to try again on a less busy night but I would not go on a busy night like Friday or Saturday because the kitchen just doesn't care. Fries are not safe as they do not have a dedicated fryer and the dirty rice is not GF either.
24020 Southwest Fwy, Rosenberg, TX 77471
Managers have always been amazing. I get the sirloin steak with no sauce or toppings. I also order sweet potato as a side. Have tried loaded sweet potato and did not get sick :)
230 Hendersonville Rd, Asheville, NC 28803
The wait staff was wonderful. However there was some missed communication with the kitchen staff. Most everything was good and made to accommodate gluten free EXCEPT for the steak. I got a 6 oz sirloin and it was very tasty, my first clue it was NOT gluten free.
8304 Two Notch Road, Columbia, SC 29223
Zero stars - they do not even have an allergen list on the property. I used my "go to" baked sweet potato.
2970 North Lake Parkway, Columbus, GA 31909
1005A Gould Drive, Bossier City, LA 71111
8021 Dani Drive, Fort Myers, FL 33966
They do not have a dedicated gluten free menu but as soon as I said those words the chef was at my table. He helped me with my order, knew to prepare the foods separately to decrease the risk of contamination, and knew what sauces I should avoid, Highly Recommend!!!

U.S. Semiconductor and Software Industries Increasingly Produce in China and India
GAO-06-423: Published: Sep 7, 2006. Publicly Released: Sep 7, 2006.

Much attention has focused on offshoring of information technology (IT) services overseas. "Offshoring" of services generally refers to an organization's purchase from other countries of services such as software programming that it previously produced or purchased domestically. IT manufacturing, notably semiconductor manufacturing, has a longer history of offshoring of manufacturing operations. Under the Comptroller General's authority to conduct evaluations on his own initiative, GAO addressed the following questions: (1) How has offshoring in semiconductor manufacturing and software services developed over time? (2)What factors enabled the expansion of offshoring in these industries? (3) As these industries have become more global, what have been the trends in their U.S.-based activities?
The U.S. semiconductor industry began offshoring labor-intensive manufacturing operations in the 1960s, followed in the 1970s and 1980s by increasingly complex operations, including wafer fabrication and some research and development (R&D) and design work. Semiconductor assembly and testing was the first to move to Asia, followed by fabrication and, more recently, by some design operations. Software services offshoring began in the 1990s after Internet communications made it possible to trade services such as software programming and software design. The year 2000 changeover hastened this offshoring trend related to software services because programmers knowledgeable in the appropriate programming languages were available, primarily in India. In the 2000s, firms further expanded their offshoring operations, based on the low-cost and high-quality work from the offshored services undertaken in the late 1990s. Although a lower labor cost was initially a key factor that attracted firms to offshore locations, other factors such as technological advances, available skilled workers, and foreign government policy, also played roles. Technological advances helped firms in the semiconductor industry improve their management of global supply chains and logistics. Regarding software services, technological advances opened the way to trade in programming and other software services. Foreign government policies in Taiwan and China created favorable investment conditions for U.S. semiconductor firms. India changed its emphasis from state-owned enterprises in the 1970s to an environment more amenable to private enterprise by the mid-1980s. Although its restrictions on foreign investment constrained the software services industry's overall development, India established software technology parks in 1990 to give domestic firms preferential access to the infrastructure essential for offshored operations. Although offshoring continues to grow in both the semiconductor manufacturing and software services industries, the United States remains one of the largest and most advanced producers of semiconductors and software services. U.S. production data show that both industries have largely rebounded from the 2001 recession. Employment data show a mixed picture, with semiconductor employment remaining flat and software employment mostly recovering. The United States has global trade surpluses in the semiconductors and software services sectors, although production is increasingly shifting to Asia. Both U.S. industries have become global, sourcing components from many locations overseas. U.S. firms have offshored increasingly complex products, essentially moving up the value chain. The ability of the United States to compete depends on research and development investment, innovative academic environments attracting top-quality students, and a competitive business environment. It will be important for U.S. businesses and policymakers to keep alert to technological changes and competitor countries' strategies while enhancing the elements of the innovation environment in the United States.

Imaging, imagining and representation: Muslim visual artists in NYC
by Jiwa, Munir
This article is based on ethnographic fieldwork I conducted with Muslim visual artists in New York City. It assumes that art is a particular medium or media form that not only gives us insight into the processes of creative expression, but helps us understand the relationship between global media events and their localized practices. For Muslim visual artists, and Muslims in general, "9/11" has become a significant marker of time in thinking about issues of identity, belonging and representation. Even in the art worlds, the larger tropes of Islam/Muslims—terrorism, violence, veiling, patriarchy, the Middle East—become the normative frames and images within and against which Muslim artists do their work. I outline the ways Muslim artists as cultural producers are not only contesting art world boundaries in terms of new and emerging forms of identification, but also the various sites where they are being forged. Muslim artists explore new ways of thinking about being Muslim, not necessarily as a theological or aesthetic unity, but as a minority identification in the West/America. I focus on the work of two artists, Nigerian-born Fatimah Tuggar and Pakistani-born Shahzia Sikander.
