Abacus Property Group has bought a Sydney office tower as it continues to snap up assets at the low point of the property cycle.
Abacus is one of the few locally listed players to acquire property this year as most have been hamstrung by the high cost of funds.
It has teamed up with its major backer, the Kirsh Group, to make larger plays, such as the purchase of the Birkenhead Point Shopping Centre and Marina in Sydney in July. Abacus also won kudos for picking up 343 George Street, Sydney, winning new tenants, and reselling at a healthy profit this year.
Yesterday, the group bought 167-175 Clarence Street, a 15-level office building on the corner of Clarence and King Streets, for $29.5 million.
Gavin Lloyd and Rohan Ramsay of CB Richard Ellis, brokered the sale on behalf of private investor Rick Miller's Roderick Holdings.
The deal showed an initial yield of 9 per cent per annum. The property comprises 6519 square metres of net lettable area and is about 89 per cent occupied.
Dr Wolf said: "We were attracted to Clarence Street, given its location in the heart of the Sydney CBD, the low acquisition price per square metre of $4500 and the potential to increase net rental income through the enhancement of existing leases."
Abacus is not expected to move immediately but the building could be suitable for strata subdivision in future. The property adjoins 161 Clarence Street, a building owned by Brookfield Multiplex that is seen as a potential redevelopment site.
Abacus also has a $36 million-plus North Sydney office tower in its sights.
The group is undertaking due diligence on the A-grade office tower at 32 Walker Street.
The building is being sold by a Colonial First State Global Asset Management fund that is being wound up. CBRE's Simon Fenn, Josh Cullen and Graeme Russell are marketing the tower.
Abacus is already in due diligence on two adjoining Martin Place properties being sold by wealthy publican Cyril Maloney for about $155 million.
That deal is likely to show a yield of about 8 per cent on a fully leased basis.
Mr Maloney is selling No 4 and No 14 Martin Place as he shifts capital to take advantage of opportunities emerging in the struggling pubs sector.
Citigroup analyst Jackie Tin said the latest purchase was "a good fit for Abacus because they do like to buy in that mid-tier bracket.
"I think they're in a bit of a sweet spot due to the relative lack of competition, or interest, for these assets.
"A lot of the assets would have the potential to be repositioned, have leasing opportunities or better management, which Abacus might be able to do."

Recast "Family Matters" and Win a Prize!
Recast "Family Matters" and Win a Prize!
Every Wednesday on BuzzSugar, I post a Recast challenge, where I ask you to choose new actors for a classic TV show or movie. The reader who submits the best cast wins a BuzzSugar t-shirt!
I used to love watching "Family Matters" when I was younger and did you know (possible Buzz Brainteaser here!) that the show stemmed from the sitcom "Perfect Strangers"? It's true! Harriette Winslow was a recurring character on the third and fourth seasons of "Perfect Strangers," and was the character chosen to have her own series.
Anyway, if you could recast "Family Matters" with new actors, who would you pick for Harriette and Carl Winslow? What about their children Eddie and Laura (I'm leaving off Judy, who was on the show for some seasons but not all)? Then there's "Mother" Winslow (Carl's mother), the aunt Rachel and her little boy Richie. Finally, of course, who could properly whine Steve Urkel's catchphrase "Did I do that?"
Leave your entry in the comment section below, and I'll pick one winner to feature Tuesday, October 9, complete with a "new" cast photo. To see a list of characters to recast and a photo of the BuzzSugar t-shirt,
Characters to recast:
Harriette Winslow (JoMarie Payton)
Carl Winslow (Reginald VelJohnson)
Eddie Winslow (Darius McCrary)
Laura Winslow (Kellie Shanygne Williams)
Rachel Crawford (Telma Hopkins)
Richie Crawford (Bryton McClure)
Mother Winslow (Rosetta LeNoire)
Steve Urkel (Jaleel White)

As the semester abroad winds down, students abroad are doing everything in their favor to wear summer clothes as much as possible before they have to go home. While some international students are going home to rainy, cold, weathers…others will go home to nice spring seasons, but not necessarily shorts weather. In Israel, it is shorts weather. Spring has sprung before the real season is due, but Israel seems to have even possibly skipped spring, because it feels like summer!
One of the newest, hottest trends I've noticed living abroad is the love from girls of their "soft" shorts. There are many different types of soft shorts—pleated, print, lace, high-rise, etc. They are extremely comfortable and they can be dressed up or down, worn casually for a day of class or paired with a fancier shirt for a night out. My Fashionista was rocking the comfort vibe, for a day of early class. Her shorts were breezy in a scalloped lace style. What I've discovered about soft shorts is how simple they are and the ability they have to go with everything. Since this Fashionista's outfit embodied comfort, her oversized T-shirt was a splatter/distressed pattern charcoal and ash gray made of a soft linen material. The neutral grays mixed with the neutral black of her shorts. The neutral colors of the shirt and shorts provided a base for a pair of black combat boots and her floral patterned mid-rise socks.Although her outfit didn't stop there, for accessories this Fashionista was rocking a pair of oversized mirror aviator sunglasses and an alternative medium-wash denim backpack.
This Fashionista confessed to me that she just "threw on this outfit," which was a surprise because she looked so "put-together." I find that the best type of fashion is one that is in a sense, "just thrown on." This Fashionista was comfortable, casual and ready for a long day of class with a class-"ic" outfit.

IF COLLINGWOOD supporters are quietly hoping Luke Ball will be the Lenny Hayes of 2013, then reports of his progress could not be more encouraging.
Ball has quietly worked his way through a faultless recovery from his knee reconstruction and appears likely to complete most, if not all, of the pre-season in preparation for an 11th AFL season.
The 28-year-old has attacked his rehabilitation buoyed by the return of former teammate Hayes, who capped off a stunning comeback from his own long-term knee injury by winning St Kilda's best and fairest this year.
Hayes was dubbed the recruit of the year in 2012, given he missed virtually all of 2011 after rupturing an anterior cruciate ligament in round two of that year.
Ball, who has re-signed with the Magpies for another two seasons, injured his knee in round three, so he will be in the same situation as Hayes, having had a traditional reconstruction and spent a full season on the sidelines.
Had this season dragged on for another month, Ball might have been an outside chance to play, such has been his progress.
When Collingwood returns to pre-season training soon, Ball is expected to be there with the rest of his teammates and also at the club's high-altitude training camp in Utah.
The Pies hope a strong pre-season will allow its premiership hero to hit the ground running in the lead-up to a much-anticipated return in round one.
''He's coming along really well,'' Magpies football director Geoff Walsh said yesterday.
''He wasn't all that far away from being ready at the end of the season. By the time we resume training, he'll be virtually joining in nearly full training.''
The importance of Ball's absence this year was somewhat under-played, because his replacement in the midfield, Dayne Beams, went on to have a breakout season in which he won a first Copeland Trophy as best and fairest, and All-Australian selection.
But it was evident during the Magpies' finals campaign how valuable Ball's experience and hardness at stoppages and around goal would have been to the Magpies.
The thought that the Magpies can now throw Ball back into the midfield alongside Beams and fellow stars Scott Pendlebury and Dane Swan is a tantalising one for Magpie fans.
The club has also moved to strengthen its on-ball division by securing Quinten Lynch as a back-up ruckman to Darren Jolly.
Lachlan Keeffe is the other Collingwood player battling back from a torn ACL. The key-position youngster played the first nine games of the season, but his rehabilitation has gone well and medical staff have been pleased with his progress.
''He would be somewhere towards the back end of the pre-season, I would think, in terms of him being up and going in full training,'' Walsh said.
''It's too far away and there's too much water to go under the bridge before we can work out when he would start playing again.''
Meanwhile, Sydney speedster Gary Rohan has revealed he will start running next month and believes he is on track to reach peak fitness by the start of next season.
Rohan's season was wiped out when he broke his leg in a collision with North Melbourne's Lindsay Thomas in round four.
The injury reduced him to a spectator on grand final day. Rohan told the AFL website that missing out on being a part of Sydney's premiership this year would drive him next season. ''[I'm] quite emotional that I missed out, but so excited I'm going to be in the same team next year and I'm more determined to come back,'' he said.

Another day, another blog. It's been a very interesting day, but unfortunately it has come to an end. We'll see you tomorrow at 9.30am.
IG Markets analyst Chris Weston notes the local market was weak before the jobs figures.
''It hasn't really changed the landscape at all,'' he says. ''We've seen a pretty weak market. Wall Street didn't provide us with much of a backbone to go on.''
But he says there are some positive signs in the US with President Barak Obama saying a resolution to the world's biggest economy's economic woes could be found within a week.
On the other side of the ledger, BHP and Rio offered the most support, rising 0.35 per cent and 1 per cent respectively.
So much for the Commonwealth Bank breaking the $100 billion barrier today: the stock was one of the biggest drags on the market, falling 1.2 per cent, putting the market cap at $97.3 billion.
The market's losses were led by the energy sector, which fell 1 per cent, while financials slipped 0.4 per cent and materials ended flat. The gold sub-index had another bad day, dropping 1.3 per cent.Back to top
The market has closed today, pretty much where it's been most of the session: the benchmark S&P/ASX200 index fell 11.1. points, or 0.2 per cent, to 4509.3, while the broader All Ords lost 12.3 points, or 0.3 per cent, to 4515.7.
Some more on the stubbornly strong dollar, which is currently trading at $US1.0461:
- The Aussie is expected to remain resilient in the months ahead, mostly due to a lack of high yielding alternatives, a Reuters poll has found.
- The median forecast of 53 analysts showed the Aussie at $US1.0400 in three months before edging slightly lower to $US1.025 by this time next year. This compared with $US1.0470 where it currently stands.
- But the forecasts ranged from a low of 86 cents to a high of $US1.1200 for the 12-month view, suggesting great uncertainty in the outlook.
- The resilience of the currency would not sit well with the Reserve Bank of Australia (RBA), which reiterated this week the local dollar was "uncomfortably high".
From the ABS today comes a long-awaited correction, Peter Martin notes - employment growth didn't stop during 2011 - it continued at a reasonable pace.
Until today the official figures for 2011 showed fairly flat employment (a loss of 1200 jobs). On paper it was the worst calendar year since 1992 when Australia was emerging from the early 1990s the recession.
In May this year Tim Colebatch took issue with the figures, explaining the Bureau had systematically biased them down during 2011 by plugging in lower than real population growth figures to compensate for earlier mistakenly high population growth estimates.
When the Bureau eventually plugged in the real population growth figures, as did after each census, it would all be revised and the reality would become apparent.
His point was the that the Bureau should have revised as it went rather than biasing future employment estimates to ease away past mistakes.
The head of the Bureau, Brian Pink, stood his ground saying at the time: ''We do not believe that the employment growth that we have shown has been biased in some way by the method - that's our view."
Not now. Today's published revision shows employment grew 48,700 throughout last year rather than falling 1200.
The Bureau is changing its method as well. From now on it'll revise old figures as it goes, at first revising for new information about population every six months, and then from 2014 quarterly.
Following on from that last post on the dollar, here's an interesting chart showing just how strongly the dollar's exchange rate with the greenback and the cash rate have diverged since early 2009. It's a graph the RBA is unlikely to appreciate...
Telstra has won a new contract worth $24 million, providing managed satellite services for Vision Asia, a satellite broadcaster.Back to top
Looking back at the general market, CMC Markets trader Ben Taylor says the ASX200 has struggled to hold ground today despite positive overnight leads and an unemployment number which bucked the trend:
- Today's unemployment read caught the market by surprise. The daily onslaught of economic doom and gloom, talk of Australian companies doing it tough and stories of workers being laid off had the market ready for a lift in the unemployment rate.
- The result was a real kick in the teeth to those shorting the Aussie dollar today. Falling job ads, a fall in GDP, our manufacturing industry in heavy contraction mixed with the RBA dropping rates; you'd be forgiven if you believed that today's result would see a rise in unemployment.
- The result paints a merry picture for the Australian economy which is showing signs of uncanny employment resilience despite all the news and data to the contrary.
- If the RBA looks to the unemployment result for guidance it will make it very difficult to see rates cut again in February.
Gina Rinehart has also hit out at Ten, saying the struggling broadcaster could have done more to cut costs in the past.
Mrs Rinehart said the troubled network should have been more prompt in reducing costs during the past two years.
''I think we could have done more there and obviously we are not doing well enough yet with our programming,'' she told reporters after Ten's annual meeting for shareholders.
''So these are things that I hope we will see some more improvements on.''
And here's what Gina Rinehart has to say on her participating in Ten's capital raising:
''[I'll decide] by tomorrow, if I could also add, I did participate fully in the last one.''
As an institutional investor, she has until 5pm Friday to decide.
BusinessDay's Malcolm Maiden has chipped in on Channel Ten and Gina Rinehart.
Ten chairman Lachlan Murdoch told today's AGM that three of the free-to-air broadcaster's big four shareholders - Bruce Gordon, James Packer and himself - will take part in the capital raising, but Mrs Rinehart has yet to commit.
She has until 5pm tomorrow to make her mind up.
Malcolm writes:
It will be very interesting to see what she decides.
A decision not to support the issue and allow her stake to be diluted would pose obvious questions about her continued tenure on the board but she may see Ten as a distraction now – and a costly one at that.
Her losses since she bought in in 2010 are estimated at about $140 million, with total losses for the four billionaires close to $600 million.
And here's what Gina Rinehart has to say on her participating in Ten's capital raising:
''[I'll decide] by tomorrow, if I could also add, I did participate fully in the last one.''
As an institutional investor, she has until 5pm Friday to decide.Back to top
BuinessDay's Matt O'Sullivan has more on Andrew David, the Tiger Australia chief executive who's joining Jetstar. Matt writes:
Jetstar's chief executive, Jayne Hrdlicka, said a key part of Mr David's role would be the ''smooth integration'' of new Boeing 787 Dreamliner planes into the airline's fleet, the first of which are due in the middle of next year.
''He understands low fares and he understands our key markets,'' she said. ''We're putting additional leadership in place now to support this growth into the future.'' Mr David will be based at Jetstar's Melbourne headquarters.
Back to the jobs data and Michael Rafferty of the University of Sydney's Workplace Research Centre who says that the negative mood in the labour market - which comes despite the better employment figures - stemmed from a fear of becoming unemployed.
"I think that what's happening is that people are pessimistic despite the reasonably buoyant labour market and the reason is that people are finding it hard to get by," her said.
"And I think they are worried that if they were to become unemployed, lots of things could unravel for them.
"There's a genuine fear because people are struggling to make ends meet. The labour market aggregate figures are missing that story that people are feeling more precarious."
More on Ten and major shareholder Gina Rinehart, who said after the meeting that she hasn't made a decision on whether to back the capital raising announced today.
Ms Rinehart - who owns 10 per cent of the troubled broadcaster has until until 5pm tomorrow to make up her mind.
Tiger Australia's chief executive, Andrew David, has resigned from his role at the budget airline after just over a year to become the head of Jetstar's long-haul operations, writes BusinessDay's Matt O'Sullivan.
His departure comes just five weeks after Virgin Australia moved to take a controlling stake in Tiger's Australian operations. At the time, Virgin declined to comment on who would lead Tiger in the event that its purchase of a 60 per cent stake in the budget airline is approved by competition regulators.
Mr David, a former senior executive at both Virgin and Air New Zealand, will start at Jetstar next month in the newly created role of chief executive of long-haul operations.
Workers at the collapsed company Gourmet Food Holdings, which produces Rosella tomato sauce, may be able to keep their jobs, writes BusinessDay's Georgia Wilkins.
Ferrier Hodgson, receivers of the company that went into voluntary administration last week, said they had received close to 100 expressions of interest from potential buyers considering purchasing all or part of the business.
"If we continue to receive this valuable support from customers, suppliers and transport operators, the business should be able to continue operating and employees will keep their jobs
"Given the level of interest in the business amongst potential buyers, I have an increasing degree of confidence that the group has a future," partner Jim Sarantinos said.Back to top

Washington Post TV critic Tom Shales heaped loads of praise on Helen Thomas even as he lamented that documentarian Rory Kennedy will present HBO viewers tonight with"A Story With a Few Holes." Shales found it disappointing that Thomas's affinity for Israel's enemies was left untouched in Kennedy's "Thank You, Mr. President."
Shales started by insisting that "[o]ne can't help wondering if the film was shortened in the final edit to obscure a blemish or two on Thomas's celebrated career-- the documentary equivalent of cosmetic surgery." [Keep it civil, comments thread!]
Even so, Shales himself gussied up "Hell No" Helen in his review, insisting she's a reporter who "can't be accused of party partisanship" and who was "brave enough to chastise fellow journalists -- for supporting the Iraq war in the aftermath of Sept. 11 and abetting what she considers the right-wing persecution of Bill Clinton." Nah, the Hearst columnist sure doesn't sound like a left-wing partisan hack to me.
But on to Shales's quibble with Kennedy's "Thank You, Mr. President." The Post critic laments that Thomas's anti-Israel (and quite possibly anti-Semitic) biases were completely ignored by Kennedy:
What's disappointing about Thomas, and troubling about the film, is her stridency in criticizing Israel and defending its enemies. Other than a passing reference to Thomas's parents as having been Syrian immigrants, the film never hints at Thomas's anti-Israeli rhetoric. In her writings, she's already dismissed both John McCain and Barack Obama as being friendly to Israel and hostile to the Palestinians, "so the Israelis have no worries about the November election."
Especially during the current administration, her "questions" at press briefings have been more like tirades, on one occasion prompting Tony Snow, the late journalist who was then press secretary, to respond, "Well, thank you for the Hezbollah view." This would have been a pertinent and amusing clip to include in the film. Not for nothing was Thomas recently hailed as "the epitome of journalistic integrity for over 57 years" -- by the Arab American News.
When controversies are a large part of a person's career, it's reasonable to expect even an adulatory documentary at least to mention them. "Thank You, Mr. President" could easily have included both sides -- Thomas attacked and Thomas defended. Even attacking the attackers would have been more honest than ignoring the matter altogether.

Emma Stone: Hollywood's New It Girl
Emma Stone is making a play for hottest actress in the Hollywood game, and it has little to do with her fiery mane.
Columbia Pictures announced this week that Stone, 21, nailed a coveted role in the upcoming Spiderman 4, playing Spidey's first love Gwen Stacy opposite new hero Andrew Garfield. She's also fresh off a star turn in the Scarlet Letter update Easy A and preparing to make her hosting debut on the Oct. 23 edition of Saturday Night Live.
Stone Cold Fox: Emma's Hottest Looks (PHOTOS!)
What else is there to know about the lovely Emma? Read on for some fun facts.
For starters, Stone convinced her mom to move her from her native Scottsdale, Arizona to Los Angeles (after a persuasive slide show presentation set to Madonna's "Hollywood") in 2004. She landed a role on the Fox drama Drive in 2007. Catch a brief glimpse of her in the trailer below, at around the :15 mark:
Emma's feature-film debut came as Jonah Hill's super cool-crush Jules in the 2007 smash hit Superbad, which she dishes about below. It was then that producer Judd Apatow suggested Emma dye her naturally blonde hair red, a move that has clearly worked for her.
Emma sharpened her comedic chops with a role in the Rainn Wilson comedy The Rocker, in which she played a member in a high school band that plays a big gig (at the prom.) She also met singer Teddy Geiger during filming, which led to a reported romantic relationship back in 2008.
Stone really stepped into the spotlight when she starred in The House Bunny, playing nerd-turned-sorority girl Natalie:
Though not one to flaunt her relationships, Emma met recent boyfriend Kieran Culkin (little brother of Macaulay) when both starred in the 2010 indie film, Paper Man.
If Emma needs a friend on her climb up the Hollywood ladder, she has one in major country singer Taylor Swift, who's been called one of her closest pals. Emma will likely need some advice on how to be a huge star after she appears in the upcoming movie adaptation of the bestseller The Help and possibly lands another mega-role – the lead in a reboot of 80's TV classic, 21 Jump Street.

Lynx win WNBA Finals, party with Prince for greatest night ever
The Minnesota Lynx had an otherworldly Wednesday this week, winning a five-game WNBA Finals series at home and then celebrating with a private concert from Prince at his Paisley Park residence.
Prince was on hand for the finale of the best-of-five championship series before inviting the team and Target Center staff back to the venue at his compound for a three-hour concert/party stacked with hit songs, according to the Minneapolis Star Tribune.
• London mayor Boris Johnson bowls over 10-year-old-in touch rugby game
The lengthy opening set was heavy on hits including "Kiss," "When Doves Cry," "Sign 'o' the Times," "Guitar" (with a great exchange between [gutiarist Donna] Grantis and Prince on guitar),"Hot Thang" ("hot thang, world champs," he sang) and a mashup of Michael Jackson's "Don't Stop Til You Get Enough" and the Time's "Cool." At one point, [backup singers Liv] Warfield and [Donna] Minnieweather broke into their own funky refrain of "we are the champions."
Lynx star Maya Moore said she was surprised by the party, and called the rock star's performance "unbelievable." Meanwhile, teammates Renee Montgomery and Seimone Augustus took the opportunity to join Prince for an onstage dance-off.

I am very excited to announce that in a few hours we will gratefully launch our very first podcast of your favorite Classic Christian Music Artists…this is a big step for us as we have been praying about what direction to go with the site and name for literally years.
As you listen for the first time, please take a few things into account.
- Most notably, this is THE START…a beginning place, not the finished delivery.
- Our hope above everything is that you and the listeners now and down the line will find encouragement, hope and if it is dim a kindling in their spirit.
- Our goal is to point people towards Jesus and not to make mini-gods of any of the artists because certainly Jesus is our only hope.
So why are we doing a podcast and why don't we have all the liners, jingles, advertisers and so on in it?
Well, CCMRewind is something that has been with ME (Marty Daniels) since 1999 when my good friend and CCM Radio veteran Bill DeWees noted there was no classic format to play much of the Christian music that was prodcued from the earlier 90's, 80's and 70's. As things go, Bill was busy with leading the excellent radio program at Olivet Nazarene University – WONU/Shine89 in Illinois and didn't have the time to commit to this sort of project. Me? I was working with a group of stations in Tampa and much like Bill, time was at a premium so the project sat for another couple years.
At that time I personally found myself in a crisis of faith where I candidly did not give a rip if a classic formatted station ever got done. I wandered for nearly 10 years until Our Lord, gently and lovingly called me back to life. Not that I was ever out of His clutches but was I running the other way? That would be an understatement. Now with my stubbornness on the sidelines my willingness has been there but the time and resources has not.
Today while reading my devotionals I was strongly convicted to simply DO IT…
I have no ambition nor inkling to become a titan from this sort of thing, I am not interested in celebrity and hold no artist, pastor, performer, evangelist or other in any esteem other than that which they deserve as being a treasured creation and child of the most high God…just like you and me.
So please know that I'm not looking to stoke the fires of idolatry even higher in a church culture that is consumed with it nor do I think these artists have anything more figured out in their walk with Jesus than you or I…what they do is sing nice songs that affirm my journey and remind me of where my hope is and comes from.
With all of that, I hope you enjoy and are blessed by this offering and the ones that follow which will be found at http://CCMRewind.com/podcast later today.

Thread: "little thing called delegates!"
"little thing called delegates!"
Hrmm many are not talking about this. Here is a copy and paste from a link I found talking about this, and where Ron Paul stands in this [COLOR=blue !important][COLOR=blue !important]GOP[/COLOR][/COLOR] race. http://www.slate.com/blogs/weigel/20...e=home_oneline
They all laughed at Ron Paul. They all laughed when he took a stage in Minnesota, having come in a solid second place, and reminded the faithful of a "little thing called delegates!"
They were serious about it. Paul's people believe that they understand the delegate process, and that the media does not. There is truth here: The delegate process is confusing, and I assume that Paul supporters have used their four years of [COLOR=blue !important][COLOR=blue !important]organizing[/COLOR][/COLOR] and studying in a fruitful manner. In an e-mail to supporters, they try to get granular about what's occuring.
We are confident in gaining a much larger share of delegates than even our impressive showing yesterday indicates. As an example of our campaigns delegate strength, take a look at what has occurred in Colorado:
- In one precinct in Larimer County, the [COLOR=blue !important][COLOR=blue !important]straw [COLOR=blue !important]poll[/COLOR][/COLOR][/COLOR] vote was 23 for Santorum, 13 for Paul, 5 for Romney, 2 for Gingrich. There were 13 delegate [COLOR=blue !important][COLOR=blue !important]slots[/COLOR][/COLOR], and Ron Paul got ALL 13.
- In a precinct in Delta County the vote was 22 for Santorum, 12 for Romney, 8 for Paul, 7 for Gingrich. There were 5 delegate slots, and ALL 5 went to Ron Paul.
- In a Pueblo County precinct, the vote was 16 for Santorum, 11 for Romney, 3 for Gingrich and 2 for Paul. There were 2 delegate slots filled, and both were filled by Ron Paul supporters.
- We are also seeing the same trends in Minnesota, Nevada, and Iowa, and in Missouri as well.
For this to stick, Paul's activists have to show up at the next votes -- small affairs, not much media, happening in March -- and control the delegate process. Then they have to show up at conventions and repeat it. This is actually doable.

Second Pregnancy :: Week 16
Age of baby #1:
16 months (which will make them ~21.5 months apart)
How far along:
16 weeks
How big is baby:
The size of an avocado (which we'll be enjoying on our burgers tonight)
Total weight gain:
0 lbs. (for a total weight gain of 7 lbs.)
Maternity clothes:
Now that I'm back home in San Francisco, I've officially raided my maternity clothes from my first pregnancy. I'm wearing my favorite skinny jeans at the moment and I love, love, love them. Thanks to Heidi Klum for making inexpensive, cute maternity clothes for Motherhood Maternity (and if anyone knows how to make pregnancy look amazing, it's her) – too bad I can't find a link to the jeans…I'm not sure if they sell them anymore. I've once again decided that I much prefer maternity jeans that go under the belly. The number of times I have to readjust the ones that go over the belly is ridiculous! Anyway, I'm loving my skinny jeans paired with these simple tank tops from Target!
Stretch marks:
None. Fingers crossed I get away without any the second time around as well.
Belly button:
Innie…hoping it stays that way as well!
Sleep has been great. We're currently readjusting to a new time zone again but Abigail did amazingly considering we've been in Atlanta for 20 days.
Best moment of the week:
The best moment is a secret, but the second best moment was walking into our apartment yesterday and watching Abigail say "hi" to all her pandas and toys. She was thrilled!
Food cravings:
Frozen yogurt or ice cream paired with cookies. And after having some onion rings in Atlanta, I can't stop thinking about onion rings.
Food aversions:
None – I feel awesome. No complaints at all. I know Bean's about to go through a growth spurt, so I'm enjoying this while I can.
I keep feeling like I'm noticing some sort of movement, but I couldn't be…it's so early!
No idea, but can't wait to find out on June 11th at 8:30am!
What I'm looking forward to:
My appointment on Wednesday and a variety of other things.
What I'm nervous about:
Being overwhelmed with catching up on everything now that we're back and taking care of a million new things that are about to be on my plate.
What I miss:
Atlanta. Both my family and the warmth and humidity.
Next appointment:
May 23rd at 8:45am
Comparison to Pregnancy #1:
I didn't make any ground-breaking notes last time, so here's a photo of Pregnancy #1 at Week 16 ::

Harvest Turkey Soup
Recipe by Hey Jude
I love making this soup when Autumn first arrives and I still have some veggies coming from the garden. I also love this recipe because I can have turkey soup without waiting for the Thanksgiving turkey carcass! Plus, you can use up those small amounts of pasta that you don't want to throw out but there's not enough for anything else! This is just an all-around good soup!

I am 5'4 and 102lbs. I am unhappy with my tighs and hip/flank area. I went for a consultation for airbrush laser and I was told I should do inner/outer tighs and knees because if I don't my legs will look big and what they called banana rools under my buttocks. For the tummy area they suggested to do it separately because I am too light and it would be too much to do. Cost: $20,000. Isn't this very overpriced? also, is it true that I need to do my knees because my legs will look otherwise too big?

High Prices for High Tech Lipo
'Airbrush' or 'Smartlipo' or 'Vaser' are examples of brand names for liposuction machines with add-on high tech gizmos involving lasers, ultrasounds, or radio frequency. They claim superior results to standard liposuction. None of this is true. The companies that make these machines, and the doctors that buy them, are hoping the advertising campaigns can convince you that this is true, but in fact the opposite is: It is the skill and experience of the surgeon that makes liposuction a successful endeavor.
Look for a plastic surgeon certified by the ABPS who is also a member of the ASAPS. Look at their before and after photos to see their results on people with similar body types. Most experienced surgeons that do body contouring do not use anything but liposuction to achieve superior results.
Best of luck!

The latest federal windfall for Santa Fe came on March 2, in the form of a $176,400 grant to expand public computer centers around the city. Democratic US Sens. Jeff Bingaman and Tom Udall sent out a joint press release with the usual fanfare: "a positive impact on many lives" that would "bridge the technical divide."
But for the Santa Fe Civic Housing Authority, a government entity with an uncanny knack for securing federal stimulus money, it was a drop in the bucket.
Since the passage of the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act in February 2009, the SFCHA has received more than $10 million in federal stimulus grants and contracts. But in a pattern that repeats itself across the state, very little of that money has actually been spent. Even a $792,000 contract awarded to SFCHA nearly a year ago, in March 2009, is listed on the federal-stimulus tracking website as "Not Started."
According to SFR's analysis of statewide data, of approximately 1,500 stimulus loans, grants and contracts awarded to New Mexico's businesses, government agencies and nonprofits between February and October of last year, only 39 are listed as completed. A whopping 262 haven't even started.
Near downtown Santa Fe, between W. Alameda and W. San Francisco, there's an almost-empty lot. Dark dirt bears the scar of tractor treads and a dusting of snow: It's the first phase of SFCHA's $10 million baby. Someday, SFCHA Director Ed Romero says, it will be a 110-unit affordable housing complex called Villa Alegre, "the greenest multi-family project built in New Mexico," Romero says.
For now, he's mired in the "incredibly complicated financing process" of corralling the tangle of loans, tax credits, federal grants and local contracts.
Villa Alegre's two biggest grants are both federal. The first, awarded last September, is a $5.3 million "green grant" slated for renewable energy and efficiency features—in this case, photovoltaic solar cells and ground-source heat pumps. In October, the development got another $4.8 million in federal assistance for the project.
When SFR first talked to Romero, he said he couldn't touch the $5.3 million until SFCHA "closed"—housing-industry lingo for getting all his paperwork signed and sealed.
Romero later revealed that $521,000 in expenditures listed on the federal stimulus-tracking website, recovery.gov, was used for demolition at Villa Alegre. Romero also says some of the $792,000 federal contract—which SFCHA is using for efficiency upgrades in its existing senior and low-income housing—has already been spent. Even though recovery.gov lists the project as "Not Started," Romero says he's already spent approximately $35,000, and that the retrofitting will be done by July or August of this year.
"Every question you ask, it gets more complicated," Leann Holt, state Mortgage Finance Authority communications manager, tells SFR. "Often projects have four, six, eight, often as many as 10 funding sources to make one project go," she says.
Holt says the MFA—the self-described "quasi-public entity" that metes out federal funding to local recipients—is in the process of closing awards and that all stimulus projects should be "rolling" within a month.
Around Santa Fe, there are a variety of them.
Michael Loftin, the executive director of the affordable housing nonprofit Homewise, says he's doing energy conservation with a fund-matching system with the city—but that Homewise is vigilant about keeping up its share of the burden.
"You're always trying to figure out how to get more efficient, leveraging the money better so you [aren't] dependent on a one-time grant," Loftin says.
Nonetheless, Loftin acknowledges the complexity of the many programs under the federal stimulus umbrella.
"Anytime you get government money, the red tape increases a lot," Loftin says. "Sometimes the rule becomes more important than whether somebody actually gets some help out there."
Sharron Welsh, executive director of Santa Fe nonprofit The Housing Trust, acknowledges the complexity, while describing the stimulus as "ingenious and essential." She has reason to be upbeat: The Housing Trust breaks ground March 12 on a new, affordable stimulus-funded 60-unit green development.
As for Villa Alegre, Romero says, "We will have people standing in line to get into the place." Once they put that money to use.

I have tested the GUI, it came up with the window (I had modified it so that it had two text fields). When I entered the verb in however, it gave me an error because it recognized the information in the text field as a string. My verbs that I have defined as one-word variables that include a verb structure with all the conjugations are not strings. They follow this pattern (define ser (make-verb "ser" "to be" "soy" "eres" "es" "somos" "sois" "son")) I tried changing it like so: (define "ser" (make-verb "ser" "to be" "soy" "eres" "es" "somos" "sois" "son")) but it gave me an error saying that it expected a definition name or a primitive operator after define but found a string.

Coq au Vin, Pressure Cooker Variation
Serve this hearty and healthy stew over cooked rice, barley, or quinoa.
- Servings: 6
Source: Martha Stewart Living, March 1998
- 6 large cloves garlic, smashed
- 4 whole black peppercorns
- 2 sprigs fresh thyme, plus more for garnish
- 1 bay leaf
- 7 fresh sprigs flat-leaf parsley, stems and leaves separated
- 2 skinless and boneless whole chicken breasts
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 8 ounces pearl onions, peeled
- 12 ounces white button mushrooms, halved or quartered
- 1 tablespoon unsalted butter
- Salt and freshly ground black pepper
- 3 tablespoons cognac
- 1 cup dry red wine
- 3 1/4 cup Homemade Chicken Stock, or canned low-sodium chicken broth, skimmed of fat
- 1 tablespoon tomato paste
- 1 tablespoon cornstarch
Using a small piece of cheesecloth, make a bouquet garni: Wrap 3 garlic cloves, peppercorns, thyme, bay leaf, and parsley stems; tie in a bundle with kitchen twine.
Cut chicken into strips about 2 inches long and 3/4 inch wide. In a large, deep skillet or a Dutch oven, heat 1 tablespoon oil over medium-high heat. Add onions and remaining 3 cloves garlic; cook, stirring occasionally, until they begin to brown, about 4 minutes. Add mushrooms; cook until golden, about 4 minutes. Transfer to a dish.
Add butter and remaining 1 tablespoon olive oil to skillet. Season chicken with salt and pepper; cook in two batches until browned, about 1 minute per side. Return all chicken to pan. Add cognac and wine. Use a wooden spoon to scrape up any cooked-on bits from the bottom. Add chicken stock; stir in tomato paste. Add bouquet garni. Bring to a boil; reduce heat to a simmer, and cook, covered, 15 minutes. Add the reserved mushrooms, onions, and garlic; cook 5 minutes more.
Using a slotted spoon, transfer chicken and vegetables to a bowl. Discard bouquet garni. Over high heat, reduce broth by half, about 12 minutes. In a small bowl, dissolve cornstarch in 1 tablespoon cold water. Pour back into broth, and stir until incorporated. Cook 2 minutes. Return chicken, onions, and mushrooms to pot; cook over medium-low heat until heated through. Chop parsley leaves, and stir in. Garnish with thyme. Serve hot.

laurenb845 FEB, 2013It was flavorful and deliicous! I added some extra garlic since I am a garlic lover and I cooked some chopped carrots with the onion, garlic, and mushrooms. This a a simple yet wonderful coq au vin!Reply
Snowflake786710 SEP, 2010I agree, it is a bit involved, but sooo delicious especially with added carrots and red potatoes cooked separately in chicken broth until added to the rest of the mixture at the end. I will be making it again!Reply
Tryingsomethingnew14 FEB, 2009This is a bit invovled but the taste is well worth it.Reply
nanciallard9 OCT, 2008Really delicious. Will make again.Reply
NatalieB8 FEB, 2008This recipe was very time consuming, used a lot of dishes. After all the prep and steps, I expected it to be fabulous, and it was just okay. It was bland, but the thyme garnish helped. I served it over rice with baked bread. The sauce was runny- even after reducing it about 15 min. My husband had this dish in Paris and said it was a bland dish with thin sauce there as well, but tasted better. No offense taken. Not worth the extra time and effort!Reply
greenthumb228 JAN, 2008This recipe is fantastic! I had coq au vin at a quaint fench restaurant in Montreal many years ago. I've always wanted to make it, but all the recipes semed too difficult. This was easy and tasted as it did in that quaint little french restaurant. My family simply loved it! C'est bon!Reply


text: I was thinking today as I recover from a 2 day shoot. Let me tell you they are exhausting! I do a few things specifically to set me apart from competition and to help brand my company. I use flags with my logo on them, 8 colors. I had a branding iron made and we brand our connection boxes with 'The Lighting Geek' logo and website, we put stickers on the tf's, etc. What are you doing to set yourself apart, aside from the standard items as quality, service, and such? Do you think this is important or a waste of time and money?

Subscribe to KIKN-FM / Kickin' 100.5 on
Gotta blanket and a fifth of Comfort.
A little something to knock off the edge!
I have to admit, I'm a pretty big Jason Aldean fan. I like his straight forward gritty stuff. I'm a fan. I can listen quietly or make my ears bleed and he sounds good to me all the time.
So, I hear he has a new song coming out. it's called, When She Says Baby.
Oh, and speaking of Fifths! This is the FIFTH single from Night Train. Yes, that's a pretty big deal!
According to Antimusic:
"When She Says Baby" was written by Rhett Akins and Ben Hayslip, two-thirds of the hit songwriting trio the Peach Pickers (Akins is also the father of singer Thomas Rhett).

LONDON – And then there were two.
Unless there is a sack of banana skins waiting for Liverpool and Chelsea in their remaining four games, the Premier League title will be heading for Anfield or Stamford Bridge.
Intriguingly, both teams have their fate in their own hands and the showdown between the clubs on April 27 should effectively decide the 2013-14 champions.
The mind games which Jose Mourinho will inevitably indulge in will, as usual, provide an alternative build-up to what promises to be English football's version of El Clasico.
Manchester City appear to have hit a wall and after its 2-2 home draw with Sunderland on Wednesday. Manager Manuel Pellegrini admitted his side was "mentally shattered."
City failing to beat a Sunderland team facing almost certain relegation on the night when Crystal Palace defeated Everton 3-2 at Goodison Park is a reminder for Liverpool and Chelsea fans whose title confidence is growing after each game — the players should be too professional to take anything for granted — that chickens should not be counted yet.
On Saturday, Sunderland, three points adrift at the foot of the table, travels to Stamford Bridge buoyed by its display against City and believing it can throw another spanner in the title race while clinging to a slim hope of survival.
Under Jose Mourinho, Chelsea invariably manages to do whatever it takes to win, though unlike Liverpool which has no European distraction, the Blues face a two-leg Champions League semifinal against Atletico Madrid to add to its domestic workload.
While Brendan Rodgers can spend all week preparing his team for the visit of Chelsea, Mourinho cannot work with his players toward the Anfield game until Thursday because of Tuesday's match in Madrid. Chelsea's final two matches are Norwich (home) and Cardiff (away), but Mourinho has rotated his squad superbly and whoever he brings in seems to do the business.
On Sunday, Liverpool plays struggling Norwich at Carrow Road, where the home fans will create the sort of atmosphere that is sure to raise the level of the Canaries as they try for the three points that should secure their Premier League status. It is the first home match for Neil Adams, who took over from Chris Hughton with five games remaining, but Liverpool is on such a roll Norwich may have to wait for its potentially decisive win.
While Liverpool ends the season with a home match against Newcastle, which is in freefall and its players mentally on a Spanish beach. Its biggest challenge, apart from Chelsea, will be playing Crystal Palace at Selhurst Park. Tony Pulis has worked a minor miracle at Palace since taking over from Ian Holloway and is as strong a candidate for the Manager of the Year award as Rodgers or Mourinho.
Palace had lost seven of its opening eight league games when Holloway left, it was leaking goals and struggling to score, a rudderless ship heading for a swift return to the Championship. By the time Pulis, fired by Stoke last summer, belatedly took charge, Palace had just seven points from 12 games.
His record of never having been relegated was just months away, we thought, but since then, Palace has won 33 points from 22 matches, conceding 20 goals, a figure only Chelsea can better.
Six 1-0 wins are testimony to the defensive organization Pulis has instilled, and Palace will survive a Premier League season without being relegated for the first time in five attempts.
Palace's victory meant Everton failed to overtake Arsenal and claim fourth place. Arsenal plays Hull on Sunday in an F.A. Cup final preview, and with the Tigers safe from relegation the momentum at the Emirates should be with the Gunners as they pursue a Champions League spot.
Everton manager Roberto Martinez would probably not have chosen a visit of Manchester United with David Moyes making his first return to Goodison Park as it attempts to get over the Palace defeat. Given what Moyes did for Everton, he should be given a warm reception, but football fans tend not to appreciate a manager choosing to leave their club and then attempting to sign their best players. Moyes will be afforded the most hostile of so-called welcomes.
While sixth place and qualification for the Europa League is the limit of United's ambitions now, Moyes won rare praise for disciplining Danny Welbeck and Tom Cleverley, who were photographed partying 24 hours after their Champions League defeat by Bayern Munich.
What on earth were Welbeck and Cleverley thinking of, having a night out so soon after a European exit as United stumble to the end of the worst season many supporters can remember?
It was a slap in the face for the United fans and added no credibility to the players' usual quotes about defeat hurting so much. Cleverley's defense that he was drinking only water cut no ice with Moyes, who fined the pair and gave them extra training.

APRIL 15, 1:18 P.M. — Paul Faulkner, the Aston Villa chief executive, calls for unity at the club. He said: "Now, more than ever, it's time for us all to pull together — fans, players, the manager, everyone at the club."
April 15, 3:08 p.m. — Aston Villa suspends assistant manager Ian Culverhouse and head of football operations Gary Karsa pending an internal investigation.
So what happened in the 1 hour and 50 minutes between the plea for unity and the suspension of two high-ranking club officials?
Paul Faulkner must have been aware of the pending news release by the club and the ill-timed statements are further evidence — if, indeed it was needed — of the mess Aston Villa is in.
Apart from the off-field shenanigans, Villa has lost its last four games, has taken just 15 points from the last 19 matches and for the second successive season hover just above the relegation zone.
There is, unsurprisingly, supporter unrest with many believing Villa is at best treading water under manager Paul Lambert — 42 goals in 36 league games in his two seasons in charge — who has worked with Ian Culverhouse and Gary Karsa at his three previous clubs.
Culverhouse was in charge of most training sessions, but amid reports of bullying and a "poisonous atmosphere" with Karsa complicit.
The fact that owner Randy Lerner has suspended the pair — nobody expects them to return — with Lambert's blessing and is standing by his manager has not exactly had Villa fans organizing street parties.
Lambert will now be assisted by Gordon Cowans, who played 168 consecutive matches for Villa between 1979 and 1983, helping the club win the league and European Cup, plus former Republic of Ireland 'keeper Shay Given, signed from Manchester City three years ago.
A home defeat by Southampton on Saturday will underline the strength of feeling the Villa Park faithful have against Lambert, but Lerner appears in no mood to appease the supporters and change his manager.

GARETH BALE tweeted how "good it was working" with Brazuca, the official football for the 2014 World Cup, after his super goal for Real Madrid which won the King's Cup final against Barcelona.
By an amazing coincidence, the ball is made by Adidas, which also sponsors Bale's boots.
Christopher Davies was a longtime Premier League correspondent for the London Daily Telegraph.

Safety Systems for Non-Engineers
What All the Hullabaloo Over Safety Instruments Systems Is About?
During the design of a safety instrumented system (SIS), several assumptions are used in calculations, including establishing the safety integrity level (SIL) value assigned to each safety loop (SIF). One of those assumptions is the amount of time that will elapse between when each safety loop (SIF) can be full-stroke tested. The longer the time between each full-stroke test, the greater the PFD thus the greater the SIL value that is required for that safety loop. Note: PFD (probability to fail on demand), MTTD (mean-time-to-detect, and MTTR (mean-time-to-repair) are some of the assumed values used in determining an SIS's design requirements.
If full- and partial-stroke testing has been accounted for from the very beginning, then the period between tests has also been included in establishing the SIL value for each safety loop (SIF). When the production times are extended without considering the impact on full- and partial-stroke testing, the process is very likely operating in a degraded, less capable state.
Partial-stroke testing is recognized within safety standards as a permissible way of extending the period between full-stroke testing; but the standards also caution that you can't use partial-stroke testing as a substitute for full-stroke testing. (See graphic, "Usefulness of Partial-Stroke Testing.")
What Gomer is telling Mr. B. is that because of the corporate mandated to extend plant operating schedules by default, that mandate also extended the testing periods of the time between full-stroke testing of safety loops and that is a problem.
Note: There are a number of process plants worldwide that are running much longer between planned shut-downs than they did just a decade ago. Unless those plant owner/operators have reviewed, recalculated and possibly redesigned (upgraded) each of their safety loops to accommodate the longer times between full-stroke testing, there is a very good possibility that they are not in compliance with industry safety standards, at least part of the time.
Yea, right!
"Mr. B., I know I don't have to tell you how OSHA feels about IEC 61511 and IEC 61508."
Like many of us, Mr. Barns probably didn't have a clue about OSHA's take on IEC 61511 and IEC 61508, and so he likely nodded his head knowingly.
Well sometimes that's okay, but when most people hear the term OSHA (U.S. Occupational Health and Safety Agency), or some similar regulatory agency, they immediately go into "pay attention" mode.
The two IEC documents have been internationally recognized as consensus standards written specifically for electrical/electronic/programmable electronic safety-related systems. That means that these standards represent "good engineering practice."
IEC 61508 came first, and it is quite detailed. It was developed to cover a variety of industries. IEC 61511 is a process-industry interpretation of IEC 61508, thus in many places, IEC 61511 references back to IEC 61508.
For the purists among us, IEC 61511 began life as ISA S84. S84 was harmonized with IEC 61511 in 2000. At the time of harmonization, S84 retained a "grandfather" clause. The concept of the "grandfather clause" in ISA-84.01-2004-1 originated with OSHA 1910.119.
The grandfather clause's intent is to recognize prior good engineering practices (e.g., ANSI/ISA-84.01-1996) and to allow their continued use with regard to existing SIS. The grandfather clause (ISA-84.01-2004-1 Clause 1.0 y) states: "For existing SIS designed and constructed in accordance with codes, standard, or practices prior to the issuance of this standard (e.g., ASI/ISA-84.01-1996), the owner/operator shall determine that the equipment is designed, maintained, inspected, tested and operated in a safe manner."
The grandfather clause establishes that the owner/operator of an SIS designed and constructed prior to the issuance of the standard should demonstrate that the "equipment is designed, maintained, inspected, tested and operating in a safe manner." There are two essential steps:
The ALARP (as low as reasonable practicable) concept requires that the risk be driven lower when the costs are practical. New practices sometimes include practical things, such as very affordable SIS solutions. The civil court and regulatory systems also seem to want them. So, there are cost and moral arguments for moving forward with partial upgrades as they become practical and feasible.
Technically, the S84 committee documented in TR84.00.04 that the determination had to be at least based on a risk assessment of the current design and management system to determine the risk reduction required and verify that the installed systems are capable of achieving it.
Practically, the equipment performance is estimated for the purposes of the design calculation. Then the performance is monitored in the field and when the performance does not match expectations, the assumptions have been invalidated and the risk gap must be addressed. This involves root cause analysis to understand whether the frequency of failure can be reduced. In some cases, this will result in the replacement of the existing equipment with better-performing models.
Ultimately, each SIS solution is likely to organically evolve as problems are found or when better technology becomes available that has advantages that outweigh its costs.
The key principles of both IEC standards are the:
The safety life cycle is just what you imagine; a continuous review and improvement cycle that has been designed to specifically address the safety system from its initial design to its eventual retirement.
We've already discussed SIL (safety integrity level) so we won't rehash it here.
To understand Gomer's comment "…how OSHA feels about IEC…" we need to look at two items.
The first is the U.S. National Technology Transfer and Advancement Act of 1995. This act requires that all federal agencies (i.e., EPA, FDA, OSHA, etc.) recognize existing consensus standards, such as IEC 61511 and IEC 61508. That means that all government agencies have been instructed to accept the premise of consensus standards and abide by the standards' requirements.
Second, in 2000, OSHA sent a letter to ISA. In that letter OSHA acknowledged that S84 (now IEC 61511) had been officially recognized and generally accepted as good engineering practices for SIS.
Additionally, though OSHA's 1910.119 (PSM – Process Safety Management) regulation does not include specific information on the requirements for safety systems, it does require that facilities perform a process hazard analysis (PHA) and take measures to mitigate identified risks. OSHA's mention of safety systems is simply, "The employer shall document that equipment complies with recognized and generally accepted good engineering practices." When we consider that simple statement alongside the 1995 Technology Transfer and Advancement Act, we can only conclude that IEC 61508 and IEC 61511 or something very similar, must be followed.
What Gomer was subtly reminding Mr. Barns was that if the plant had an incident that resulted in an OSHA investigation, the investigators would quickly realize that the plant was not conforming to IEC safety standards, and fines would most certainly be levied and someone might even end up going to jail.

Sen. Hillary Clinton's web site has been offline for more than 29 hours over the past seven weeks, while campaign sites for Democratic rival Barack Obama and Republican John McCain have performed flawlessly, according to an analysis from Pingdom.
A Netcraft query finds that HillaryClinton.com is hosted by "Paul Holcomb" apparently on a dedicated server at Rackspace, and is running on Windows Server 2003. BarackObama.com uses the Linux-driven Panther Express content delivery network to support its site, which is hosted on FreeBSD/Apache at Pair Networks. McCain's site is hosted by SmarTech, which has a long history of working with GOP web sites. SmarTech hosted GeorgeWBush.com in 2004, when the site made news by blocking access to web users outside the United States and Canada in the final days of the 2004 election campaign. JohnMcCain.com also uses Windows Server 2003.
Most of the downtime on Clinton's web site occurred between March 20-23, shortly after the US National Archives released the 11,000 pages of records from Clinton's time as a first lady. Pingdom says nearly 40 percent of all requests to Clinton's site failed during this period.
SpocialMedia.biz profiled the hosting platform choices of all the presidential candidates earlier this year, while the Yahoo developer team graded the candidates' web sites using the YSlow tool, which will be familiar to many site performance junkies and is available as a Firefox plugin.
Hosting uptime became a contentious issue in Connecticut's primary election in 2006 when the campaign web site for Sen. Joseph Lieberman was completely unavailable on election day. Lieberman, the Democrats' 2000 vice presidential candidate, was defeated by challenger Ned Lamont. Afterward, Lieberman's campaign manager blamed the Lamont camp for the outage, alleging "coordinated efforts to disable our Web site."
This week it was learned that Lieberman's own web team was responsible for the outage. "In short, the server that hosted the joe2006.com website failed because it was over utilised and misconfigured," reports an October 2006 email contained in FBI documents obtained this week by AP. "There was no evidence of (an) attack."

Indie Rock's Worst Karaoke Misfires
There are certain songs that inspire people to get in front of an audience and "sing" drunkenly. Often, these songs are marked by some unique vocal element, such as a catchy singalong chorus or an amazingly difficult but flashy passage. Or maybe these are the songs that inspire nostalgia for the drunk-karaoke set. Whatever motivation pushed these people onto the stage to fail at karaoke, they went knowing that, in this information age, no embarrassing act goes unfilmed. And no embarrassing act, once captured by someone's smartphone, stays off of YouTube. So we got bored and put together this list of videos for your daily dose of schadenfreude. You're welcome.
'Just Like Heaven'
Ah, the Cure's 'Just Like Heaven.' It's a wonderful song about being in love. Unless you manage to look both bored and stiff while doing the Bat Dance. Then, not so much.
'Creep' launched Radiohead into superstardom, putting them on the map, which they promptly rolled up and smoked before ditching this guitar-driven sound forever. But the song still lives on in the hearts and minds of karaoke butchers everywhere. This aspiring singer won second place for his performance, demonstrating how low the bar really is. Good job, friend.
'Under the Bridge'
The Red Hot Chili Peppers' 'Under the Bridge' weaves a personal tale of tragedy and addiction. It also provides drunk frat boys the chance to impress drunk sorority girls. And to the fellow who kicked the song off, it's called rhythm — give it a try next time.
'Losing My Religion'
"That's me in corner. That's me in the spotlight, ruining this song for you forever." We shouldn't poke fun at this lady. She's obviously a big R.E.M. fan — either that or she hates 'Losing My Religion' and wants everyone else to hate it too.
The guy here performing Pearl Jam's 'Alive' doesn't do a bad job. And the fact that he's singing with a live band helps make it not terrible. Too bad the person holding the camera thinks he or she is shooting footage for 'Cloverfield 2,' giving viewers a dose of motion sickness to go with the song.
'Blister in the Sun'
We really don't want to pick on this lady singing Violent Femmes' 'Blister in the Sun.' She seems nice, and she probably got pressured by her drunk coworkers into going up there in the first place. But we haven't been this upset about hearing this song since it briefly wound up in a Wendy's commercial.
'Personal Jesus'
If we had a 'Personal Jesus,' we'd pray to him to erase this video from our minds. We don't know if we should blame the manager of the establishment or the person who ran karaoke that night for allowing this to happen, but we feel the need to vindicate ourselves and Depeche Mode.
We, just like almost everyone else in the world, liked the Cranberries' 'Zombie' when it came out in the '90s. But now instead of the Cranberries, this dude is in our head. We want him out now.

The Leafs are in Tampa Bay tonight (7:30 p.m. Sportsnet) to face a Lightning squad that new general manager Steve Yzerman seems to have pointed in the right direction.
While Vincent Lecavalier has fallen far from the elite player status he enjoyed as a 52-goal scorer in 2006-07, Steve Stamkos has proven to be an absolute beast, tallying an NHL-leading 22 points in 13 games this season after netting 51 goals last season. The kid is a legit sniper.
Mirtle's likely at the beach working on his tan, but we should get some game day notes from his later today.

I'm not certain of this, but I think the Leafs have the only guy with the first name Korbinian in NHL history. Mirtle spoke with the German blueliner for today's paper.
Feels like Brian Burke might be voting against the coach's on-ice challenge proposal at the GM meetings in Toronto today. I base that opinion on the quote: "Talking about a coaching challenge in response to one goal is like killing a house fly with a bazooka."

The residents of Middleborough, Mass., are tired of foul language, so they've decided to do what many parents do – implement a swear jar.
According the Associated Press, residents voted 183 to 50 in favour of a proposal by the police chief to impose a $20 fine on cursing in public.
The measure isn't meant to muzzle casual or private conversations, the news agency reports. Rather, the target is (you guessed it) teens and other young people, who are perceived to use loud, profanity-peppered language in parks and other public places.
"They'll sit on the bench and yell back and forth to each other with the foulest language. It's just so inappropriate," store owner Mimi Duphily told the Associated Press. She noted she expected some fallout, "but I think what we did was necessary."
Middleborough, population 20,000, has actually had a bylaw against public profanity since 1968, and an existing state law gives authorities the power to arrest people who address others with "profane or obscene language" in public. But since the effort of bringing such cases through the courts can be costly and time-consuming, the new measure is seen to be preferable, as it would allow police to simply write tickets for public profanity.
Matthew Segal of the American Civil Liberties Union of Massachusetts noted, however, that imposing a fine isn't much of an improvement on the bylaw.
"Police officers who never enforced the bylaw might be tempted to issue these fines, and people might end up getting fined for constitutionally protected speech," he said.
Added local store owner Robert Saquet: "In view of words commonly used in movies and cable TV, it's kind of hard to define exactly what is obscene."
Indeed, teens and young people are hardly the only ones guilty of using foul language. And given how ubiquitous swearing is these days, Mr. Saquet has a point: where do you draw the line between what's acceptable and not?
Remember when U.S. vice president Joe Biden was caught on mic in 2010, telling president Barack Obama that his health care reform legislation was a big flipping deal, only in more colourful terms?
Or in 2004, when then-vice-president Dick Cheney was overheard cursing at senator Patrick Leahy?
Canadian lawmakers and leaders are no less prone to letting slip the occasional obscenity in public
Would a fine deter you from swearing? Have you ever tried implementing a swear jar at home?Report Typo/Error
