Is Rahm abandoning his pet charter school? UNO, racism, and the attack on unions
As the day dawned without a blizzard in Chicago on February 8, 2013, the Sun-Times was reporting that Mayor Rahm Emanuel was talking about hold UNO "accountable." If that be so, the first place would be in Chicago's public schools, where UNO should be denied further charter "campuses" and where UNO should be subjected to a full investigation (not simply an audit)...
This week, on Channel 11, Carol Marin hosted a show about UNO, but UNO didn't show. What was shown, as Marin talked about the UNO investigation with Sun-Times reporter, was that the UNO schools in the background during the conversation had no black children. That has been the UNO recruitment pitch for years: The schools were marketed as Catholic schools without the cost. And the cost was paid by two groups in Chicago even more than the local public schools. The Catholic schools lost students to UNO's recruiters, since the UNO schools did not charge tuition. And the schools of Chicago became more segregated, as the UNO schools exclude almost all black students and teachers from their ranks.
The long list of UNO's crimes against public education and democracy will also, eventually, include the fact that UNO (and UNO's Juan Rangal) helped Paul Vallas to establish the nation's most corrupt and segregated school system in New Orleans. There, UNO bragged about helping establish the charter schools that replaced most of the city's public schools following Hurricane Katrina. What was left out of the narrative was that by helping Vallas, UNO also helped destroy the largest and most powerful mostly African American union in Louisiana. The United Teachers of New Orleans, once a mainstay of the American Federation of Teachers, was virtually wiped out by the work of Vallas, assisted by UNO.
UNO is under political fire because of an expose of earmarks specifically for this chain of charters, which belongs to a political buddy of Rahm's.
After the Sun Times story on UNO and PURE's exposure of the legislative earmark to UNO it is no surprise Mayor Emanuel wants to create some space between himself and UNO CEO Rangel. Even Crain's unloaded on UNO. Inside of the charter school movement UNO has become despised because of the favorable treatment it has repeatedly gotten from CPS and the Mayor's office, along with charter school officers commenting privately about how UNO's 990's looked.
But it will be very difficult to erase the image of Mr. Rangel the night of Mayor Emanuel's election victory appearing on the stage and the fact that UNO was the major Hispanic supporter of the Mayor in the City. UNO is now without doubt on the FBI political corruption watch list and they will be probing to see if UNO required contractors to provide contributions to candidates favored by UNO.

All it Takes is an Idea…and a Good Plan
by Thomas E. Donato
Units open: 34
It always starts with an idea, right? Then someone with a little bit of ambition, luck and savvy, takes that idea and produces something tangible. In this case, the idea was to open an upscale chain devoted to arguably the most important room in the house: the bathroom. The tangible result? A chain now consisting of 34 stores and a definite force in bath furnishings and accessories.
Waterworks' humble beginnings date back to 1978, when the parents of Peter Sallick, now President and CEO of the chain, opened their first Waterworks store in Connecticut. Under Sallick's direction, slowly and steadily, the chain "tested the waters" (no pun intended) by opening more stores with positive results. Waterworks' current location line-up blankets the nation with stores everywhere from New York City, New York and Westport, Connecticut, to Denver, Colorado and San Francisco, California.
The merchandise mix at Waterworks is eclectic and upscale. Offerings include bath and sink fittings and fixtures, tubs, furniture, accessories, textiles, tiles, stones and mosaics, among other things. The chain also offers a small sampling of kitchen and bar fittings and accessories as well.
CEO Sallick drew up and introduced the company's own Waterworks Collection in 1998, giving customers the "soft touches" to complement and complete the bathroom. Co-founder and vice president of design, Barbara Sallick keeps all Waterworks offerings "clean, classic and functional." An expert on bathroom design, Ms. Sallick has recently authored a book with co-author Lisa Light, entitled Waterworks: Inventing Bath Style, available now in bookstores or directly from the Waterworks website.
The company plans to open five stores this year, and ten stores each in 2002 and 2003, and looks for locations nationwide. Preferred sites include specialty centers, downtown streetfront locations and mixed-use shopping centers. Stores fit best into 2,000 to 4,000 sq. ft. with 25 ft. of frontage. Waterworks signs ten-year leases, with two options of five years each, and prefers to neighbor with other home furnishing retailers and better fashion chains.
Target customers are very affluent homeowners with a median household income of at least $125,000. Area demographics should include at least 100,000 people in a three-mile radius.
See the Waterworks website (www.waterworks.com) for more information, or contact Steven B. Greenberg of The Greenberg Group Inc., 1200 West Broadway, Hewlett, NY 11557. Phone (516) 295-0406, fax (516) 374-0999, e-mail email@example.com.

VisitEngland to test and score pubs
- Published by Ozgur Tore
VisitEngland announced a new scheme for pubs that will be tested by the organization based on the quality of their service, welcome, food and cleanliness. Developed in partnership with the British Beer and Pub Association, VisitEngland will provide pubs with a VisitEngland accreditation that aims to spread best practice and raise standards.
Open to pubs with or without accommodation, pubs will pay an annual fee and receive a mystery visit from an experienced assessor who will test all aspects of the customer experience; from arrival to departure. Scores will be awarded in each area which will allow for benchmarking across the sector. VisitEngland will award special accolades annually for 'Top Performers' in areas such as Welcome.
The new VisitEngland quality standards book contains useful hints and tips, plus an explanation of how the scheme and scoring works. Assessors will provide advice on a range of topics including managing online reviews, increasing average spend and encouraging repeat business.
Offering help and advice to publicans, the scheme aims to strengthen the overall quality of the product for domestic customers and overseas visitors; supporting a uniquely British institution - an iconic tourism asset for attracting overseas visitors.
James Berresford, Chief Executive, VisitEngland, says: "I am delighted to welcome this new Quality Assessment Scheme for pubs, which has been developed in partnership with our friends at the British Beer and Pub Association. Pubs are an intrinsic part of our English heritage and a huge tourism asset for overseas visitors. With a focus on improving quality across the board this scheme aims to raise standards, ultimately making the pub visitor experience more enjoyable."
Brigid Simmonds, Chief Executive of the British Beer and Pub Association, says: "Raising standards, and providing the right support in doing so, is a vital challenge for the tourism and hospitality industry. This new quality standard demonstrates VisitEngland's great commitment to putting pubs right at the heart of its work, and we were delighted to work closely with them in its development. I'm also very pleased that BBPA member pubs will receive a discount when they join the scheme."

Barons player grades - Justin Schultz hangs on to the AHL scoring title; Oklahoma falls 6-4 to Houston
The Sporting News' Jesse Spector called it "entertaining and sloppy in equal portions," and that is as apt a description as I can think of for the Oklahoma City Barons 6-4 loss to the Houston Aeros.
On the entertaining side, there were lots of goals. Mark Arcobello continued to demonstrate why he's a useful guy to have on an AHL team, and scored a pair of backhand goals from close to the net. Magnus Paajarvi picked up a power play goal and added an assist. Justin Schultz picked up two helpers, brining his season total to 10 points – which keeps him in a tie for the AHL's scoring lead.
On the sloppy side, the Barons as a group seemed afflicted with brain cramps. Both up front and on the back end, confusion ruled the day in the defensive zone. Reigning AHL goalie of the year Yann Danis had a decidedly off night, though the aforementioned breakdowns and weird bounces did not help him. The Oilers' young kids didn't help much, either – Ryan Nugent-Hopkins left the game early after taking a stick to the chops and did not return, while Jordan Eberle was almost as invisible despite remaining on the ice.
It was the nastiest game of Oklahoma's young season, too. Justin Schultz has attracted the attention of managers, fans and media alike in Edmonton – tonight he attracted plenty of attention from Houston's brawnier forwards, who made a habit of hitting him whenever an opportunity presented itself. Brett Bulmer was the last man to do so, throwing a late check that moved Colten Teubert to physical retaliation; Bulmer took significant punishment in the ensuing fight and while there was no word on his health at the time of this writing, a concussion would not be a surprising development. There were three fights in all, along with plenty of stickwork and hitting. The Barons will play Houston 11 more times this season, including a pair of meetings next week.
Player Grades
Here are the player grades for the Barons, with 10 being a "perfect" game, 9 extraordinary, 8 great, 7 good, 6 above average, 5 average, 4 below average, 3 poor, 2 terrible and 1 deserving of almost instant demotion. Compiled by Jonathan Willis.
#3 Brandon Davidson, 5. Davidson wan't all that bad, but he wasn't immune from the problems that seemingly afflicted the entire Oklahoma 'D'. He and Teubert were probably the team's most solid pairing on the night.
#4 Alex Plante, 4. At times mean and effective in front of his own net; at other times mean and penalty-taking in front of his own net. Took a pair of inexplicable cross-checking minors in the third period, the first of which put the Barons down by two men while they were trying to eliminate a one-goal deficit.
#5 Justin Schultz, 6. Schultz had a rough night in some respects – he was certainly part of the Barons repeated breakdowns in their own end. On the other hand, he also had two assists to hang on to the AHL scoring lead (tied with Sabres prospect T.J. Brennan) and stood up well despite clearly being a target for the Aeros.
#7 Jordan Eberle, 4. Pointless on the night, largely ineffective. Rode off the puck a cfew times in the offensive zone and seemed to have trouble staying on his feet.
#9 Tyler Pitlick, 4. Bumped down to the third line to start the game, though he was bumped up at times as the contest went on. Did not generate much.
#10 Teemu Hartikainen, 6. Hartikainen did a good job in front of the net for much of the game, and picked up the primary helper on Mark Arcobello's second goal of the contest.
#13 Curtis Hamilton, 5. Hamilton's been excellent of late and earned a promotion from healthy scratch up to the third line, but he didn't do much with that spot tonight.
#16 Anton Lander, 4. Lander keeps getting ice-time – including some shifts with the second power play unit – but he's just not doing much with it. Miscast in an offensive role.
#17 Ryan Martindale, 4. Once again picked up an assist, once again looked out of his depth. Martindale took some matchups early against Houston's top line of Coyle, Granlund and Larsson and seemed lost. He does have genuine offensive talent, but it's telling that when Nugent-Hopkins left the game early in the second period it was winger Mark Arcobello, not Martindale, tapped for promotion to the top line center role.
#18 Ryan Nugent-Hopkins, incomplete. He looked good in the game's opening frame but took a high stick in the chops and left the contest early in the second.
#19 Magnus Paajarvi, 7. Picked up a goal, an assist, and would have had a third point if not for a disallowed goal (that's the second point in six games that Paajarvi's had disallowed).
#21 Tanner House, 6. Showed his pleasure with being back in the lineup by jumping into a fight against Joel Broda early in the second period. He contributed in a more substantial way with a hard-work goal in the first, crashing into a mess in the crease and slamming the puck home.
#26 Mark Arcobello, 6. 'Twas a high-event evening for Arcobello, who scored two goals himself and was on the ice for three goals against (as of this writing, the AHL website has him inaccurately listed at minus-2, rather than minus-1). Arcobello has quite the backhand; both of his goals were scored that way and he has a great ability to get the puck up in a hurry, and he was moved from right wing on the second line and into the first line center role after Nugent-Hopkins went down. By the same token, though he probably wasn't as bad as three goals against sounds he did have some brain cramps, including one that seems to be contagious on this Barons team: passing the puck through the middle of the defensive zone while under pressure.
#27 Taylor Fedun, 4. Mostly Fedun played well, but he had some spectacular problems. On one play in particular, Fedun lost the puck while carrying it up the right side boards; the result was an odd man rush the other way and an eventual goal. After the goal went in Fedun just slumped, head down in misery, as it was primarily on his shoulders.
#28 Martin Marincin, 6. Marincin would have been marked at least one grade higher had the game ended after the second period. He made some very nice plays under pressure in his own end over the first forty minutes, carried the puck expertly, and was solid defensively (including a perfect breakup of a 2-on-1 after Schultz pinched and nobody covered for him). In the third, his game was a little more problematic, but overall it was still a nice showing.
#29 Chris VandeVelde, 5. VandeVelde enjoyed a quiet, low event game; he seemed to do solid work defending in his own end of the ice.
#33 Colten Teubert, 7. I was really impressed with Teubert, as much as I have been in this AHL season to date. He was a consistently nasty presence in front of his own net, without taking a bunch of penalties
(he had 17 minutes but I'll get to those in a moment) and did nice work on some top opponents – on one play he stepped in on Charlie Coyle and separated him from the puck like it was nothing at all, then calmly made a pass to his defense partner. The one time he looked bad was when his stick broke on a point shot, leading to hijinks, but that was bad luck more than anything else. Of course, the play that really stood out was his fight with Brett Bulmer. Bulmer threw a heavy, and late hit on Justin Schultz (a target all night), and so Teubert went after him; Bulmer tried not to get into the fight but Teubert would not relent. The fight itself wasn't close; Teubert caught Bulmer with one shot that clearly dazed the Houston forward and it appeared that the trainers were checking him for concussion on the bench afterward. Teubert took five for fighting, two for instigating and 10 minutes docked as part of a game misconduct, but the decision to fight was justifiable given the circumstances.
#34 Dane Byers, 6. Byers was tossed from the game at the same time as Teubert (he and Drew Bagnall were both kicked out of the game for engaging in a second altercation at the same time as the Teubert/Bulmer fight) but up until that point he'd been playing quite well with a couple of big hits and some competent work with the puck.
#35 Yann Danis, 3. Danis was victimized by some weird and wild bounces, a lot of opposition power plays as well as a breakdown-prone defence, but even so he had a pretty bad game, allowing six goals on 39 shots. He made some flashy saves but also got stung by some softies.
Barons Player Grades at the Cult of Hockey
Power play explodes for four goals, Barons top Lake Erie 4-3
Justin Schultz scores a beauty but it isn't enough; Oklahoma falls 5-3
Jordan Eberle, Ryan Nugent-Hopkins get on the board but Justin Schultz steals the show in 5-2 win
Justin Schultz stars again; young Oilers held pointless in 3-2 victory
Oklahoma loses their opener 2-1 but Justin Schultz impresses

DELTONA, Fla. - Like every doting mom and dad, Miguel and Esperanza Rivera marvel at their baby girl's smallest accomplishments.
"Little things is what we thrive on and that's just part of the blessing," said Miguel Rivera.
A blessing because Miranda has had to face so many more challenges than most.
Born 17 weeks early, she measured under 12 inches long.
"I was afraid of holding her, I was like okay one hand? Two hands," said Esperanza Rivera.
She's more than a handful today. Weighing a solid 15 pounds and full of spunk.
"She wants to stand and she wants to play the piano on her own, hold her toy by herself, she's like push push away, she's already showing signs of independence," said Miranda's mom.
This month, Local 6's cameras were there to witness a major milestone for Mirada as she went back to Arnold Palmer Hospital for a test to see if she was ready to eat on her own.
"She got it, oh my goodness," said Esperanza Rivera as she watched her baby girl safely eat a spoonful cereal.
With one swallow Miranda proved yet again how strong she is.
Until now, Miranda relied on a feeding tube to get the nutrients she needs.
And just days after the test, mom and dad took out the video camera to document Miranda's first real meal; oatmeal and bananas.
The family is ready to celebrate Thanksgiving with Miranda joining them at the table.
"We're having a big Thanksgiving dinner with the family coming over and maybe she'll have some turkey with us," said Miguel Rivera.
He jokes and smiles. After all, he and his wife have plenty of reasons to be full of joy and Thanksgiving.
"You want to talk about Thanksgiving that was the best thing I could be grateful for is Miranda being born and making it so far and continuing to progress and hit milestones, unbelievable," said Miguel Rivera.
Miranda will celebrate her first birthday on November 25, and now that she's allowed to eat solid food we're sure there's a slice of cake in her future.

A Very Good Day.
Woke up, brushed my teeth with tap water, went to the kitchen, made coffee with water drawn from the tap. I'll take a shower later, again using water straight from the tap. I'll go to the grocery store later, but won't be standing out in the cold in a line that winds around the parking lot waiting to buy bottled water, hand sanitizer, baby wipes, microwavable food, etc.
Later, if I want, I'll go to a local restaurant and eat a nice meal. If I get sick and/or injured, I can go to the local hospital, which will be fully operational. No need to drive 40 miles to get medical help. It's just 5 miles away.
If I want to bathe the dogs today or tomorrow using the local tap water, I can. I'm retired, but if I had a job, I wouldn't have to worry about losing pay because the business I work for is closed. I'm on a fixed income, but I don't have to worry about spending extra money for water and other emergency supplies.
All in all, it's a very good day, and I'm very grateful that I don't live in the area affected by the chemical spill in WV, BUT, I'm also very mindful that this nightmare scenario could happen in my hometown in a nanosecond. All it would take is a chemical car derailment on the CSX, which runs between Main Street and the river.
The question is when and where the next environmental disaster will strike, not if. In the meantime, House Republicans quietly passed a bill further gutting EPA regulations.

1. Or a bomber accidentally droping an an atomic warhead on your town.
It's happened a few times already, with either six or ten missing warheads.
I think NC was almost nuked, one $5 part stopped the detonation.
An A-Bomb is "lost' in the mouth of the Savanah River.

3. Yep,
but not as likely as a chemical spill. We have chemical rail cars going through here several times a day. It would only take one to derail and spill and we'd have to evacuate the entire town. Considering we have an aging population and live in an economically depressed area, it would be a nightmare of epic proportions. I seriously doubt we have enough able bodied people to evacuate all the nursing homes and assisted living facilities here.

2. As with any environmental disaster,
poor people get hit the hardest. What if you don't have family to help and can't afford to live in an out-of-town hotel indefinitely? You just can't live or work in a place where there is no water.
I had high hopes for the EPA when Obama was first elected. Those hopes were dashed after the Gulf oil spill. We don't have a true protector for our basic life support like air and water and that is scary. This could happen to any community at any time.

Thanks for everyone's help with this so far. We really appreciate it! Unfortunately, the problem continues!!!
This problem persisted across multiple upgrades of the OS -- Mac OS X Server 10.5 with all the latest javascript updates installed as they were released. We just recently updated to 10.6 and the problem is the same.
I installed Firebug as TR suggested and watched the error reporting. And the two regions I had problems with showed the errors below:
POST http://somatics.org/?q=taxes/calculate 500 Internal Server Error 1.43s jquery.js (line 11)
POST http://somatics.org/?q=cart/checkout/shipping/quote 500 Internal Server Error 1.18s jquery.js (line 11)
I have looked all over the web for a newer version of JQuery than 1.2.6, including on the Drupal website and on the JSUpdate module page: All version on that page for Drupal 5, including the dev version, are 1.2.6. I even tried the file from the JSUpdate for Drupal 6, and that _reeeeally_ didn't work.
I don't know what to do. I don't know what else I can update. Our company has invested all our resources over the past few years into running our store on Ubercart, and our business is basically paralyzed now for an extended period of time. And each time I think we've fixed it, we're back where we started.
Does anyone know how I can fix this?

What We Are
One of the guys on here found a nice catch on Craig's list, but since he's a ways away, he asked me to go look at it for him.
The seller was completely unfamiliar with these trucks, but was selling some parts off an '05 six-oh that his father had rolled and totaled.
He asked me why I would drive down to look at some stuff for somebody hundreds of miles away, so I explained about how we sorta' take care of each other, and I was just "paying my insurance bill" that someone would come to my assistance someday if I ever needed it. He thought that was pretty neat, and then he said something that just blew me away after I thought about it.
He said:
"So, you guys are like a brotherhood!"
We are a "brotherhood" any time one of us is in need a whole gaggle will answer!!! I tried to give some Rep, but in jail. Nice pick Marv!!:-bigparty:-bigparty:-bigparty:-bigparty:-bigparty:-drink:-jammin
thats awesome! FTE brotherhood i like it... its been said before and im sure it wont be the last. the folks that are on this forum are amazing! incredably helpful and very friendly:-drink
People are so incredable on here they just drove 5-10-15 HOURS to meet in TN to help each other work on there trucks, almost like an FTE Family reuniun.
Sweet huh!!!!
That IS cool, Marv!
The Brotherhood of FTE.
That'd make a great hoodie! :D
I can picture it now...semi-circle across the top back "Brotherhood Of FTE" with a couple SuperDuty rigs in profile below the words, and a persons forum name and PAA number below the rigs.
Thanks again for helping me out!
Yep -- it's great, isn't it?
Oh, and don't forget the "Sisters"... :D
A few on here helped me out when I was 8000 miles from home. :-X22
I too have received a helping hand, on more than one occasion.
I am proud to call any of the fine folks around here my Brother or Sister. I have recieved, as well as given.
I remember what I have recieved, and forgotten what I have given.
RIP Jet
RIP Markadeck
Of all the sites, of all the forums, I like this one the best.:-X22:-X25
Actually, I DID mention to the guy that "there's a buncha' sisters, too".
Wouldn't forget our distaff side.
BTW, just in case anyone is wondering, I located a 6.0L IC and trans cooler on Craigslist down in SoCal, about 6 hours south of me. I made a tentative deal with the seller to buy the two parts for $160 bucks, and PM'd Marv for help.
Marv lives about 25 minutes away from the guy so the next day (today), he went over to the sellers residence and checked out the parts for me. After he determined they were in good shape (they came off a truck that had been involved in a collision and had rolled over), he paid the guy with his own money for me.
You can see the thread here: https://www.ford-trucks.com/forums/8...ringerpop.html
RIP Brothers: Lost but NEVER forgotten.
Well said Brandon and Mike
Nice post Marv. Reps to you Brother.
Even though I am old enough to be a grandfather to some of the younger members, and a father to quite a few more, I much prefer being considered a brother to all. :-wink

Mr. Lunt is a sass master, even if he can't really keep his story straight. What a fun little story.
| civilwarrose chapter 1 . 2/13/2013
Love it! I was waiting for a fic starring Mr. Lunt, he's my favorite Veggie because he always has the most hilarious snarky lines. He is so in-character, and of course you had to put cheese curls in there somewhere.:) And your author's note at the end- I was hearing Archie's voice when I read it. Really cute fic!
| Music Person chapter 1 . 2/5/2013
Nice Job! Enough said.
| Comment person chapter 1 . 1/22/2013
Only Mr. Lunt could tell a story like that. There's something about the characterization of the characters that kind of throws me off.
Good use of grammar and details though, as well as creativity.
From, Comment person
P.S. Everyone is entitled to their own opinion.
| iheartgod175 chapter 1 . 1/22/2013
This is a pretty cute story. This reminds of the Jonah outtakes where Mr. Lunt was telling that bizzare story about his aunt being a lobster.
I didn't know you didn't support Larry and Petunia...oh well, to each his own opinion.
Good job!

|I believe this is called Rapid Transit 5.8.
By Aerili

Maybe I didn't climb the exact line this route takes (we went pretty much straight up the face), but I found it to be spooky, sustained, steep, thin on the feet with some muscular liebacking required, funneling you to a pro-less mini-roof finish that was very thin all around and kept me gripped on TR!
With so many ginormous, hollow flakes and full-on face moves with no pro, to lead this would be very heady indeed! :-O

|Carville shows another climb also on this face called "Shake it out" rated at 5.10b. I think I started on Rapid Transit by staying left of the easy flakes and right of the arete, but then headed straight up through the thinnest areas and finally through a thin roof and finger crack which I think is the end of Shake it out. I would rate that line about 5.10b. Worth doing - on top rope. Basically ditto what Aerili said.

@odinokij - welcome to MobileRead.
At the moment this plugin only has one special case handling for PDF formats - in all other cases it will attempt to convert to epub and then estimate counts based on that. I can appreciate how for CBR or CBZ formats another special exemption could be made using a rule like you mention to just count the image files. I don't have any CBR/CBZ myself and no-one else has mentioned it which is why it hasn't happened as yet.
I guess the only other complication around that which comes to mind is what would happen if you had configured other statistics like counting words or the readability. I think in this case those statistics should be skipped completely and only counting pages should be possible on CBR/CBZ.
I will take a look as part of the next release.

There will be a very limited service on First Capital Connect services through Enfield over the Easter weekend.
FCC has urged Enfield residents to check before travelling into London over the bank holiday weekend.
Planned engineering works mean that on Good Friday and Easter Saturday, a very limited service will run through six Enfield stations – Crews Hill, Gordon Hill, Enfield Chase, Grange Park, Winchmore Hill and Palmers Green.
Easter Sunday will also see a very limited service with only two trains every hour into London.
This comes as a result of a multi-billion pound programme to link the Thameslink with the Great Northern Route by 2018.

In rodeo circles, June and July are known as "Cowboy Christmas," the time of year when professional riders and ropers earn most of their income. The Greeley Independence Stampede, now in its 131st year, comes right in the middle of the high-income season, beginning in late June and culminating in a Fourth of July bash that brings people from around the world for a taste of true Americana.
"Our timing contributes to the atmosphere of the Stampede," according to Bill Todd, vice president of marketing for the event. "There are about sixty or seventy rodeos held over the Fourth of July. The competitors can enter events at the beginning of Stampede, travel somewhere else, then come back and make some more money here. The PRCA [Professional Rodeo Cowboys Association] rates the Greeley Stampede as one of the top ten events in the nation."
The Stampede runs for fourteen days this year, from June 22 through July 4, which even Todd admits might be a tad long, even though there are plenty of activities and entertainment to more than fill the bill. There are eight PRCA-sanctioned rodeos and one all-woman PWRA rodeo, and seven concerts with acts ranging from Travis Tritt to the Monkees. Tonic and Smash Mouth play a double bill, as do Chris Daniels & the Kings and the Beach Boys. As in years past, Kenny Rogers closes the Stampede with a solo concert on July 4.
Greeley Independence Stampede
Island Grove Regional Park, Greeley
June 22-July 4. No gate or grounds fee; rodeo tickets $5-$17, concerts $15-$36, dinner theater $25. 1-970-356-BULL (2855) or 1-800-982-BULL, www.greeleystampede.org
Cheyenne Frontier Days, July 20-29, Cheyenne, Wyoming. Rodeo tickets $10-$22, concerts $16-$30. 307-778-7222, 800-227-6336, www.cfdrodeo.com
"Our draw is about equal parts music and rodeo," Todd estimates. "Northern Colorado has seen such an influx of new people, many of whom are not rodeo- or country-based. They come for the music and then get a taste of the sport."
The Stampede moved out of programming strictly country acts about ten or fifteen years ago, according to Todd, and not just because the Garth Brooks phenomenon turned so many country fans into crossover listeners.
"What we found was that the Stampede was turning into a full-fledged festival, not just a rodeo with music," he explains. "With its setting in the beautiful regional park, it's clearly a family event now."
It's not all concerts and cowboys, either. The Demolition Derby on Sunday, June 24, is always a smash hit. This year, the Stampede Troupe presents Diamond Studs in the dinner theater June 22-29 and July2 and 3. Then there are the ever-popular Bill Hames Carnival Midway, fireworks, flapjack feeds, a free watermelon feed, Western art exhibit/sale, a food court, free entertainment in the tent, and a daily parade led by a herd of Texas longhorns that will also be at the front of the Independence Day Parade to be televised on Channel 9. Sunday, July 1, is Stampede Family Day, featuring multicultural entertainment, Mass in the park and a cowboy church service in the arena featuring songs of praise by Susie Luchsinger, Reba McEntire's sister. There's a Kids' Rodeo on July 2, and all rodeos are preceded by a thirty-minute show including skydivers, chuckwagon races, precision drill riders and a mini-concert.
In the past twelve years, attendance at the Stampede has grown 740 percent to a projected attendance of 425,000 this year. That surpasses attendance at Cheyenne Frontier Days, the "Daddy of 'em All," which takes place July 20-29 this year, in part because the Stampede runs nearly twice as long. The Stampede and Frontier Days are ranked as the top two largest events/conventions by the Northern Colorado Business report's 2001 Book of Lists, but Frontier Days keeps its focus squarely on the country-Western side of the event. It offers the largest purse in professional rodeo -- $750,000 -- and the largest rodeo arena in the West. Its concert lineup is heavily countrified, with Chris LeDoux, Toby Keith and Lonestar appearing during the week, and Brooks & Dunn and LeeAnn Womack the featured closers.
"After Cheyenne, the cowboys kind of kick back," Todd says. "They stay in town and relax since it's the end of July."
The Stampede is gaining national and international recognition these days. Last year TV crews from the BBC and Japan covered the Stampede, and this year the German media are coming; the Fourth of July rodeo has also been broadcast on ESPN in years past. There's huge attendance by folks in Colorado, Kansas, Nebraska and Wyoming, plus regulars from the East Coast and international tour groups that grow every year. The Library of Congress recently named the Greeley Independence Stampede one of the Bicentennial Local Legacies after it was nominated for the honor by Senator Ben Nighthorse Campbell.
The Stampede, with a paid full-time staff of only eight, also receives a great deal of community support, with 3,000 volunteers helping put on the event through their dues-paying membership in Wranglers Inc. Civic organizations also help with fundraising throughout the year.

"We've won some awards in the past few years, and we're thought well of in the industry, but what keeps us successful is our volunteers, including our directors, who are a working board of twelve," says Todd. "They keep us alive and different, and they're willing to try new ideas to keep us successful."
Todd points out that at the time, adding "non-cowboy stuff" to the entertainment was a risk, because nobody else was doing it. But it has proved to be a risk worth taking.
"People have come to expect the Stampede to be a little bit different," he adds. "People are happy with the traditional events, but we try to tweak them along the way so it's not just the same old thing."

Think about animal abuse
I'm glad to hear that letter writer Lloyd Atkins is willing to admit that cruelty is inflicted on countless domesticated animals because of agriculture ("Protesters hard to fathom," Aug. 5).
Most people have never been near a live cow or a chicken or a pig so they put it out of their minds what these animals, who have family attachments, deep affections and a keen desire to live their lives, have to endure when slaughter time comes.
It's nothing like taking your poor, sick old dog to the vet where he gets a needle and goes off to sleep forever.
If the Blackfish movie has drummed up some sympathy for whales in captivity, I'm glad. I would pet a cow or a pig over a whale any day but I still don't think an animal as large as a whale should ever be kept in a big "bath tub."
By the way, I was a protester and I met many others at the protest who, like me, don't eat any meat or dairy or use any animal products like leather shoes, furniture, etc..
I was amazed at how many people made thoughtless remarks about protesters as they walked by like: "What a way to spend an afternoon;" "And they stand there in their leather shoes;" "That's cruelty to animals bringing your dogs down here."
I found the leather shoes remark to be particularly petty. Whales have been cruelly trapped and separated from their families for the rest of their lives; an ambassador arrives of his own free will and after his job is done, he returns to his home and family.
What's behind it all? Money as usual.

With the commercial real estate market continuing to falter, the viability of a property tax appeal warrants considered attention at this time. Unfortunately, measurable declines in the real estate values, across property class segments, have not been the exception. While glimmers of hope have recently been observed, including slow to modest increases in demand for industrial space over the course of the last quarter of 2011, the continued sluggish movement of vacancy and rental rates in the positive direction means the filing of a tax appeal is likely again justified for the 2012 tax year.
Last year, the New Jersey Tax Court was busy docketing an unprecedented level of appeals and municipalities are again bracing for yet another consecutive record appeal season. Grounds supporting a downward adjustment to current levels of property tax assessments persist today. The continued economic malaise and waning consumer confidence precipitated, in part, by historically high levels of sustained unemployment means that empirical data can be marshalled to support a successful appeal.
The process of ensuring that you only pay your fair share of property taxes can, however, only be initiated with the timely filing of a property tax appeal. The 2012 tax appeal filing deadline is April 2, 2012.
By now, you should have received a Property Tax Assessment Notice (post card) from your local tax assessor. This notice will identify the property tax assessment applicable to your property for 2012. Understanding the assessment notice is the critical first step in navigating the taxation minefield. Unless your town is assessing properties as part of a town-wide revaluation or reassessment, the assessment number will not translate to your property's purported fair market value. Instead, this number must be adjusted so that a fair apple to apple comparison can be made. Each town is assigned an equalization ratio by the Director of the Division of Taxation and it is this ratio which must be divided into the assessment to provide the implied or equalized value actually being relied upon by the town. Only after obtaining this implied value can the analysis continue.

Another bypass letter. Really, is there something new to add? We have all become pretty knowledgeable by now; the problem is that the pros talk to themselves, the cons do the same. These last months have been important in that the reality of the bypass is becoming clearer as information is being offered.
I do think, however, that our town has settled into a hardening of opinions...either for or against the CalTrans bypass. Neither side is persuading or convincing the other to any great extent. And here lies our problem and perhaps our solution. It is time to move forward. The only way we come together is with a vision that is inclusive, one that gives at least the minimum to enough of us that we agree to it in order to find our voice and maybe power as a community.
What vision? Let's start with CalTrans as a fact on the ground... they bought it and they are working it. Let's also recognize that there are significant financial and environmental issues at stake. And finally, the town of Willits has legitimate claim to some benefits of a bypass. I submit that the 4-lane freeway viaduct design is based on a level of service definition that is arbitrary and self-serving. Bottom line, a 2- lane highway, on the ground, engineered with a few proper off-ramps for us, gives CalTrans the work with the proper recognition of our needs.
Of course CalTrans will not respond to this idea, that's not the point. How do we respond to this idea, that's the point. We must begin to pull together now if we think we want to create anything during and after the bypass and relinquishment are done. A redesigned main street; a thematic approach to entice visitors to help our business; cleaning streams and creating walking and biking paths? Only if we start now by practicing inclusion... trusting that what includes most of us will work. It isn't always exciting and may not seem worth it. But consider, if every large issue could be moved forward slowly and with agreement, not satisfying any side but including the core concerns of each side, perhaps politics could be given a rest.
In our case, everyone needs a little something. CalTrans gets to build it; regional traffic gets to use it; what about us? No, we have a right to want and advocate for a bypass that doesn't exclude us. Can we agree on a 2-lane highway, in the valley? Does this vision include enough of us? If so then let's make it happen. The first step is to talk about this idea. If it catches on and there is a show of support, our next step is to rally our City Council to the idea. We can't go anywhere without our City Council. They have done their best with a conflicting situation, let's take it out of conflict and give them something we will support and assist. Sometimes we want our elected officials to lead. Sometimes, when we are united, we want them to facilitate what we want. Let's make that happen. A resolution from our City Council that endorses a reasonable bypass that is cost effective and recognizes our basic needs should be our first goal. Perhaps our Brooktrails Board of Directors and county Board of Supervisors would be influenced by a common purpose coming from Willits.
Questions of engineering problems, penalty fees to contractors, etc, will emerge. But a scaled down 55 mph highway with off-ramps will cost so much less money and environmental destruction that we taxpayers come out way ahead.
Our state senator, and aides to our governor, have been informed of our bypass issue, but from those advocating or opposing the CalTrans design. Let us now find our center on the issue and move forward with it. Again, regardless of the outcome, our town begins to act, not react, as we have been doing.
Pie in the sky? Naive? How else can this town unite and feel any power. Regardless of how this bypass looks in the endhow will we look at each other? Angry?, divided?, burned out? NOT US.

When I was 8 years old, my neighbor had a Top Banana '70 Charger R/T. I was SO in love with that car. Then a couple of years later he sold it. When I was in my early 20's, I was working for him. He told me my new co-worker owns my old Charger. I asked if he would sell it, the answer was a stern NO! About ten years later I got a phone call. OK, he said, $2000 and it's yours. And it was! It has 107K original miles but needs a FULL resto. It's a true R/T with a 440 and 727. On the road soon.
Why I love mopar/Dodge. Dodge (mopar) gives you cutting edge styling and world class performance at a affordable price !!!!! I have been devoted to Mopar since before I can could drive and I have converting people to Mopar nearly everyday in my driving life!!!!!
Thank you for your consideration!!!
I was home from college in 2004 and my family and I were going camping in sw PA. On the way, I saw a gorgeous '69 dart swinger for sale that I really wanted to check out. My dad was skeptical, but we stopped. The body was rough, but the power train was great. 3 weeks later, I got the best 21st birthday gift of my life. We did an at home driveway/garage resto, and the addiction began. I graduated college in '06 and saw the Challenger concept in person at Carlisle, Pa. I committed to owning the very first year they came out. 2 years later and a deployment to Iraq to help pay for it, and I've got an '08 hemi Orange SRT8 Challenger; #0990.
3.5 years later and a promotion, I bought the best truck ever on the market; '09 Ram 1500 5.7 hemi quad cab. Life is good; in a Dodge of course!
Where to begin, born third generation Chrysler dealer grew up with the classics dad had a '68 Dodge Dart GTS convertible, '71 Cuda AAR, '39 Desoto, '79 Lil Red Express… My dad used to pick me up and drop me off at school when I was a young lad. Towards the end of middle school it evolved to Prowlers and Viper R/T 10's, man the 90s were cool. By high school he not only let me take the Lil Red Express for a month, one cold winter I took his big ol' yellow '66 Chrysler Windsor Convertible to school top down all the way… everyone flipped their lid when saw me roll up. Fast forward to the SRT division, by the time I got my license I had the privilege of driving an '05 RAM SRT10 6 SPD, an '07 300C SRT8..MAGNUM SRT8, and Charger SRT8!!! I became one with these vehicles but the only thing I thought was missing was that 6th gear and manual transmission! Thankfully my prayers were answered when the '09 Challenger came out! I followed this car from its introduction at the 06 Detroit Auto Show, staring at it for hours while people compared it to the Camaro. Fast forward to Barrett-Jackson when Craig Jackson bought the 001 for $400,000 I watched it Live in Barrie at a Barrett-Jackson Party. Then I drove six hours in February to see its unveiling in Chicago, met some great people there who became Challenger owners themselves. I knew I had to have this car! When I heard that 09 would have the 6 spd I was elated.I had to have one…. one set back I was still in college, I graduated and got a job with Chrysler Canada and I was able to get a B5 Blue 6 speed SRT8 this past July, in fact, it was built on Canada Day in Brampton (it was the first B5 six speed built that day)! I'm proud to say that I get to work for the company and help build the car I'm proud to call my own! Lovin' being a CHALLENGER SRT8 Owner! Can't wait for the summer!! pics can be found here: http://www.flickr.com/photos/45424471@N05/
My story will begin the minute sublime is offered on the challenger. Otherwise I'm just writing the forward notes on how many times I posted up on red letter asking for sublime on the challenger.
Let's do this!!!!
The spring edition Detonator Yellow? Almost winter and still a no show. Plum Crazy will probably show up in the summer if we are lucky or probably on the 2011 models. Sublime will probably show up another year later. Snails work at a faster pace. How can a company react so slowly and still stay in business? That's right, they didn't. This is now the new Chrysler, however, it looks the same to me. That's right, sublime is an obscure color that nobody likes…just look at the Question of the Week polls we have. Well at least I will be able to pay cash for the car by the time it comes out. Heck, I will be able to purchase a Viper ACR-X.
Checked my email this morning, and I see something from Chrysler. I'm thinking, YES, they are going to announce sublime as an option on the challenger.
Open up the email, and its from an employee announcing their out of office schedule.
I'm flattered I made someone's contact list within the confines of the mighty giant, but I sure was expecting a tidbit on the challenger. Kind of like coal in the stocking, yet I've been good this year, putting back the pennies, hoping to buy my dream car.
CMC is spot on, check the question of the week.
By the time green is announced, Big engines will be outlawed, and I'll be stuck riding my green bicycle, going "vroom vroom" down the street.

Crews respond to water main breaks throughout mid-Missouri
Fri, 04 Jan 2013 23:26:34 GMT —
The recent cold temperatures caused problems for hundreds of water customers.
Several water mains broke in cities across mid-Missouri as we began this New Year.
Columbia work crews responded to another water main break on Friday afternoon. An underground pipe cracked on Chapel Hill Road near the entrance to Twin Lakes Recreation Area.
Water and Light Department officials said Columbia averages about two to five water main breaks a week this time of year.
Cold temperatures along with moisture cause high amounts of clay in Columbiaâ??s soil to shift, which is the most common reason for the water main breaks.
Columbia city officials said they have fewer water problems compared to other mid-Missouri cities because of their capital improvement plan.
Columbia Water & Light spokeswoman Connie Kaprowicz said, â??We plan out for the next five years what we need to do. Our engineering staff and our water staff look at where the breaks are occurring so they can plan maintenance.â??
Columbia voters approved a 2008 bond issue that financed an improved water distribution system.
City engineers have been checking older schools and older neighborhoods, where they replace water mains as needed.

On‐Farm and Off‐Farm Returns to Education among Farm Operators in Northern Ireland
This paper estimates returns to education for a sample of farm operators in Northern Ireland. The analysis examines the relationship between education and on-farm and off-farm labour incomes. Human capital earnings functions are estimated to identify the marginal return to education measured as years of schooling as well as the qualification level attained. Extending to a structural model, the methodology controls for the endogeneity of education in the earnings function and potential selection bias associated with off-farm labour market participation. In off-farm employment, the analysis shows that returns to education are of the order of between 6% and 9% for each additional year of schooling. However, on-farm earnings were not found to be significantly related to years of education, although the analysis does identify a significant on-farm return to an agricultural qualification

a gay-positive ministry of advocacy and justice for lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgender (LGBT) Catholics, and reconciliation within the larger Christian and civil communities.
