- Description
The key to hitting your fitness goals is to mix things up a bit. That's why our Crosstrail comes equipped with a custom suspension fork with a lockout feature for fast and efficient use over any surface. To build on this blend of comfort and speed, the frame is built from lightweight A1 Premium Aluminium tubing with a geometry that's made to fit just right from the minute you get on the bike. Add in a selection of strong, no-fuss components and rack/fender mounts, and you get a bike that's ready and able to deliver you to your goals.
- Working with our Body Geometry team, we designed a frame that strikes the optimal balance between comfort and efficiency. The A1 Premium Aluminium tubing keeps the bike ultra-light, while the rack and fender mounts give you an incredibly versatile package.
- Custom suspension fork features our Multi-Circuit Damping technology to eliminate any "pogo" effect over its 60mm of travel. This means that its hydraulic damped suspension and rebound will effectively smooth out bumpy or rough terrain.
- The Targa Comp Saddle and XCT grips were developed with Body Geometry to increase blood flow and relieve pressure on soft tissue, ultimately resulting in increased comfort over short and long rides alike.

There's been a lot of acquisitions within the game industry lately, and that's thanks largely in part to THQ going bankrupt. As a result, a number of its franchises were auctioned off to the highest bidder, but the WWE series' new home wasn't officially confirmed until earlier this month. Now 2K Games has announced plans to incorporate the WWE property into its 2K Sports lineup, and as a result has officially announced WWE 14.
Initial reports pegged WWE 14 to be re-branded as WWE 2K14, but the official press release has since clarified that the game will keep its original name for the time being. It was also confirmed that 2K and WWE have signed a five year deal for the video game franchise, so there's still plenty of time for that re-brand to take place if 2K so desires. There will be further changes behind the scenes, too, but Yuke's (the Japan-based developer responsible for a number of wrestling games) will remain hard at work on the upcoming installment — albeit with aid from the employees at Visual Concepts.
In an interview with ESPN, WWE's executive vice president of consumer products, Casey Collins, stated the decision to go with 2K Games came between a private meeting between THQ, WWE, and the new publisher. One of the biggest reasons for choosing the Take-Two Interactive subsidiary, however, came from the desire to bring future iterations to the forthcoming next-gen consoles.
"We looked at a lot of different leaders in the industry and talked to all of the big guys, and for us, we had been with THQ for so many years, it was nice to finally go out and date a few other companies and see what kind of thought process they had about the video game industry going forward."
"As we look at the next-gen systems coming out, whether that's this holiday or next holiday, we want to make sure we align our property with who we thought would be a leader going forward on these next-gen systems."
There will be no delay in the game's arrival either, as Yuke's, Visual Concepts, and 2K Games plan to have WWE 14 ready and available to consumers later this October. Whether or not that means it'll land on the PlayStation 4, a console confirmed to launch this Fall, is up for debate. With Collins already expressing interest in bringing the series to next-gen hardware, gamers may be able to see WWE 14 on the PS4 and Xbox 720 later this year. That said, fans probably still can't see John Cena.
More details are sure to land regarding the next WWE video game in due time, so stay tuned to Game Rant for more information on the action-packed successor to WWE 13 as it becomes available.

This was terribly unfunny. However, I was pleasantly surprised at how much I laughed during Norm MacDonald's "Sports Show" last night, especially the unused Jim Nantz calls. That would be worth a watch.

I watched it first thing this morning, and totally agree. I love Norm, and I've heard he's a big golf fan, so hopefully the more from him, the better.

EDFI - Investing for a Greener Future
- 28 October 2015
Mitigating climate change is an urgent global challenge and a top priority for the European Development Finance Institutions (EDFI) members which invested €2,1 bln in climate finance projects in 2014, a total of €5,5 bln in the last five years. EDFIs are constantly working to adapt their instruments and services to provide a tailored response to our clients. EDFI strongly believe that the private sector plays an essential role to enable sustainable development for all. To ensure sustainable development we need to fight climate change and the private sector should be part of the battle.
The EDFI booklet "Investing for a Greener Future" aims to share examples of EDFI initiatives and investments in climate finance from new funds, wind and solar energy projects, to geothermal and biogas investments. By joining efforts, strengths and expertise of each EDFI member and creating synergies with other bilateral and multilateral organisations, EDFI will continue to deliver more coordinated, effective and efficient climate finance support to build the road towards a more sustainable world.

- Daily Caller notes Al Qaeda was not mentioned in Obama's remarks at all. He's following his own White House Issues 9/11 talking points.
Questionable, Tasteless and Unbelievable:
- Paul Simon…James Taylor… really? What in the world does this have to do with 9/11 besides shallow commercialization? This was a memorial Service, not a YouTube Tribute video. Washed up folk singers are on tap but no clergy and no 1st Responders.
- How does packaging Gumbo commemorate 9/11?
- Obama proclaims September 11 to be National Grandparents Day. (H/T iOwnTheWorld) No I am not kidding, he really did this. I am certain my mother-in-law will be thrilled to know we are supposed to celebrate her as a grandmother on the day of the worst terrorist attack on this nation. A fine example of trying to erase and sanitize.
- Obama's statement on the Anniversary. "I've made it clear that the United States is not and never will be at war with Islam." Someone tell Islam that because it is most definitely at war with us.
- Now we know why Bloomberg barred clergy – so Obama could be the only one quoting scripture. Too bad he flubbed the Psalms. Perhaps I am jaded, but the man strikes me as a phony from start to finish on everything, including this.
- Truthers stage protest across the street and chanted '9/11 was an inside job' during the memorial services. They weren't expecting Terry Jones to get in their faces I bet. Stay classy, you moonbat jackwagons.
- NY Slimes Krugman: Bush and Guiliani are 'fake heroes' who just wanted to 'cash in'. Pardon me folks for the profanity, but Mr. Krugman you are an asshole. He is deranged and I am appalled. If his own don't call him out on this, especially given his zeal after Tuscon then they are all lost souls. Shameful!!! More here and here.
- Jake Tapper – How 9/11 Led to President Obama.
- Imam Rauf uses 9/11 Memorial to push his Victory Mosque. Rauf issues a new threat that 'mocking Islam is libel'.
- Imam Bloomberg defends blowing off first responders and banning clergy from Memorial ceremony. What is WRONG with this man? Seriously.
- College threatened to nix 9/11 services because it's 'too American'.
- Trumka uses 9/11 to promote union solidarity and more. I couldn't finish reading all his remarks. The man is scum.
- Berkley: Using 9/11 to march for Palestine.
Matters At Home:
- Sudden Jihad Syndrome: Muslim on a bus in Missouri shoots one passenger but it tackled by other passengers before he can shoot more. The news will of course blow this off even though we were warned.
- Threat or No Threat?
- Officials Investigate Missing Ammo At Ft Bragg, 2 Soldiers Detained
- FBI releases photo of the Terrorist literally in my backyard.
- These sound like dry runs but who knows. More on the LA-NY American Flight. More on United 3861 to DC. Also, Frontier Flight 623 from Denver to Detroit. Every story I have found on this has omitted details about the disruptive passengers. It looks like one of the flights might have been a 'mile high club' situation. I don't know whether to laugh or cry at that given yesterday's date.
Matters Abroad:
- 77 US troops wounded in truck bomb by Taliban in Afghanistan.
- Muslim burn the US flag and chanted outside US embassy in London to celebrate 9/11. Anjem Choudry led this brigade — there's that name I keep telling you to remember. More Images here. I know you're thinking that kind of protest would never happen here, but that's what the British thought a decade ago too. Zilla has more including news that EDL members were stabbed by mohamadeen youths. Jawa has a nice picture and video as well. Bare Naked Islam has video you need to see. Bears repeating that Islam is the only religion to spread itself, pretty much since its inception, by taking up arms.
- Flashback: Palestinians celebrating on 9/11/01. Continue to send them aid, Mr. President, by all means.
- Mohammed Atta's Sister won't speculate on 'why'. We all know why.
- Prince of Wales joined the ceremony.
- Swedish Police arrest 4 terror suspects.
- Egypt: On 9/11 anniversary, 100 Egyptians stage sit-in at U.S. embassy in Cairo to demand release of cleric behind 1993 WTC attack.

Adolescent boys should get the controversial HPV vaccine as protection against cancers and diseases that can result from being sexually active, a federal vaccination panel recommended Tuesday.
The U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention's immunization experts now support the Gardasil vaccine as strongly for adolescent boys as for girls of the same age. For both, it protects against the human papillomavirus, or HPV, the most common sexually transmitted infection.
HPV is estimated to infect at least half of sexually active Americans at some point in their lives, though in most cases it clears up on its own. But the virus is associated with about 18,000 cancers in women each year, with cervical cancer being the most prevalent. About 7,000 men also get HPV-linked cancers affecting the anus, penis, mouth and neck, according to the CDC.
The 15-member panel of doctors, nurses and public health experts arrived at the decision after weighing increasing evidence of the vaccine's effectiveness in preventing rare but serious cancers in men. They also noted that immunizing boys would help to protect the girls who become their sexual partners, especially since many parents have been reluctant to vaccinate their daughters.
"The idea that we could prevent cancer with the vaccine was really motivating," said Dr. Anne Schuchat, director of the CDC's Center for Immunization and Respiratory Diseases. She noted that the panel previously advised that boys may receive the HPV vaccine, but stopped short of the strong recommendation it had issued for girls.
"It was sort of like a footnote," she added. "Now it's going to be a routinely recommended vaccine."
Tuesday's action may intensify the debate over the Gardasil vaccine, which protects against four types of HPV known to cause most cervical cancers and genital warts. It's already controversial because many parents do not feel their young children need protection against sexually transmitted diseases. And it could be an even more delicate issue for parents of boys, since many of the HPV-related cancers in men result from gay sex.
Gardasil became an issue in the Republican presidential campaign, with some candidates criticizing Gov. Rick Perry of Texas for trying to require that girls in his state be vaccinated. And Rep. Michele Bachmann of Minnesota outraged many when she falsely suggested during a Tampa debate that the HPV vaccine causes mental retardation.
As of last year, fewer than half of girls between the ages of 13 and 17 had received at least one HPV shot — and fewer than one-third had completed the recommended three doses. That low rate factored into the immunization's panel recommendation that boys get the vaccine.
"It's a delicate subject, because we have to approach sex at 11 or 12 years of age," said Dr. Philip Adler of HealthPoint Medical Group in Tampa's Westchase community. "This is something that mothers don't expect to talk about until their kids are 16 or 17."
A practicing pediatrician with more than 50 years' experience, Adler brings up the HPV vaccine carefully during children's routine seventh-grade visits. To the parents of boys, he explains the link to genital warts and penile, anal and oral cancers. Most are comfortable getting the vaccine after hearing him out, he said.
But some still don't get it because their insurance plans don't cover the HPV vaccine for boys. Nationally, the three-shot series can cost $400 to $600-plus.
"That's pretty darn expensive," said Dr. Juan Dumois, chairman of infectious diseases at All Children's Hospital in St. Petersburg, who paid to immunize his 12- and 16-year-old sons. "We thought it was important enough to go ahead and give it."
Tuesday's recommendation should prompt more insurers to cover the immunization, Dumois noted. And it should address concerns about gender inequity that came up in the initial push to give the HPV vaccine to girls, without strong recommendations for boys, he said.
"I've heard complaints of why should the girls be immunized if you are not immunizing the boys,'' he said, noting the virus is passed during sexual activity.
"Now I think the question is eliminated because the recommendation is to give it to all of them."

ANGELES NATIONAL FOREST – A bicycle rider who became separated from his cousin in the Angeles National Forest was found safe by sheriff's deputies, eight hours after he was reported missing, a sergeant said today.
The man and bicycle were found on the Rincon Redbox Trail and reunited with family at Highway 39 and East Fork Road, said Sgt. Louis Serrano of the San Dimas Sheriff's Station.
"He was last seen by his cousin at 3:30 p.m." Sunday, said Serrano. "I don't know what happened with him and his partner. It is a challenging trail."
The sheriff's department was contacted at about 8 p.m., he said. Search and rescue teams from the San Dimas sheriff's station, Montrose and Sierra Madre were all activated and began a sector search at 9:45 p.m.
The man was located on the trail at 11:35 p.m., Serrano said.
Bikers and hikers can't count on cellphone service on trails in those hills, he said. People can think they are in good shape but become tired on challenging hills and some in their group may want to go ahead.
"Don't lose eyesight of each other," Serrano warned.

Foolish consistency may be the hobgoblin of little minds, but inconsistencies in Colorado campus gun bans have lead to the elimination of those regs. Click here for the ruling. The Colorado Supreme decision comes after a long fight—the Rocky Mountain Gun Owners Club posted the video above exactly two years ago. Yesterday, the Supremes ruled that "We hold that the CCA [Colorado Concealed Act] divested the Board of Regents of its authority to regulate concealed handgun possession on campus. Accordingly, we agree with the court of appeals that, by alleging the Policy violates the CCA, the Students have stated a claim for relief. Because we affirm on statutory grounds, we do not consider the Students' constitutional claim." Catch that? The campus gun ban fell afoul of state law, not the Second Amendment to the U.S. Constitution. Close enough for rock and roll.
10 Responses to Colorado Supreme Court Bans Campus Gun Bans
So that means today Colorado college students can carry on campus today? Common Florida, get it together!
Good for Colorado, I would actually like to see college campuses move to concealed carry, not to sure how I feel about open carry in the class. It's sad but this probably wont happen in Texas, and if it does it most certainly won't be open carry. Pesky State Constitution and what not.
The campus gun ban fell afoul of state law, not the Second Amendment to the U.S. Constitution.
The first clause of the sentence above is correct. The second clause is not correct. The Court never ruled on the Second Amendment claims because it had already thrown out the campus gun ban as violating state law.
It's an important part of American jurisprudence that a court should restrain itself from ruling on Constitutional issues if it can decide the case on other grounds. The Colorado Supreme Court exercised judicial restraint and should be praised for doing so.
Even if no shots are fired, the relationship between professor and student will suffer. It's already hard enough to educate young people, this'll make it harder. You call that freedom?
I was at California State University for 22 years. Students who conceal-carried would have been quite welcome in my classes. Open carry probably would not have worked so well given a naturally high "distraction" factor .

Editor's note: This market commentary is provided by the Dairy Division at FCStone in Chicago, Ill.
The corrective move lower continued Thursday, as Class III and cheese futures slid lower amid another round of spot market bidding, which pushed the price of block cheese to a new, all-time high price of $2.2950/lb. – a penny better than the high of May 2008. Barrels too, pushed to a new high of $2.2575/lb., eclipsing the previous high of $2.25/lb. in May of 2008.
Corrections happen in all markets, and Class III or cheese are not immune. The past two days have earmarks of corrective market behavior. Some buy-side speculators are shrugging off, disbelieving in the sustainability of record-high cheese prices. Producer selling has also picked-up in the past two days as sell-side hedgers look to capture $2.50-$4.00/cwt. profit margins through June.
Meanwhile, the action has really created what looks like unsustainable spreads between spot and futures. February is near a $1.00/cwt discount to spot, and March is closing in on a $3.00/cwt. discount. And with milk production treading water, we look for the spot/futures spreads to narrow in the coming sessions, and for the time-being we expect futures to rebound. Today, we look for Class III and cheese to open firm; dry whey to open mixed.
Class IV, butter and NFDM markets all traded lower yesterday on lighter volumes, relatively speaking. Spot butter fell 4¢ to $1.90/lb., while Grade A NFDM fell 1.5¢ to finish at $2.07/lb. Class IV followed suit, trading lower as bids became scarce. Is the buy-side belly full of NFDM? That is the million dollar question, as NFDM has been the leader of dairy bull market over the past 6 months.
Today, we look for Class IV, butter and NFDM to open steady to slightly higher.
Jan. 23 spot session results:
Block cheese: $2.2950 (up 2.5¢)
Barrel cheese: $2.575 (up 1.5¢)
Grade A NFDM: $2.07 (down 1.5¢)
Butter: $1.90 (down 4.0¢)
Grain futures
The corn market continues to trade in a rather tight range. The market seems to feel corn has a good value at current levels. Livestock margins, ethanol margins and exports all seem to be working to support current levels. Speculative traders continue to view rallies as selling opportunities.
The soybean market is focused on the prospects of a record South American crop. The window for weather to dramatically change the size of the Brazilian crop is starting to close. Market participants are watching for China to cancel or roll purchases.

After five weeks of testimony and deliberation, the double-murder trial of Soledad resident Armando Canchola ended with a hung jury late Wednesday. The jury was evenly split after a week and a half of deliberations.
The case has been problematic for prosecutors since Canchola, a member of the Norteno street gang, was charged with the separate Soledad murders of Victor Martinez, 25, and Cesar Alvarado Vasquez, 28. Both men were gang dropouts, according to testimony.
Canchola's criminal cases began in July 2008, and he has gone through several defense attorneys since.
The case will be retried, said Assistant District Attorney Berkley Brannon.
"It's a difficult case where at times witnesses were less than cooperative and were afraid," Brannon said.
Brannon believes it could be challenging to keep the witnesses available to testify, because of fears about gang retribution.
"We think he's extremely dangerous," Brannon said. "A lot of the witnesses were very afraid to testify and that's the case any time you have gang allegations."
Canchola's arrest was pointed to with pride by Soledad police, who have been criticized by residents after a string of shootings of older gang dropouts went unsolved.
Canchola was charged with two counts of murder, use of firearms, a street gang enhancement and dissuading a witness.
In 2008, Canchola was charged in the death of Vasquez, after Canchola turned himself in to the police the day after the slaying. He appeared with his then-lawyer, Angela Johnson, at the Soledad police station late July 3, according to police.
Officers found Vasquez bleeding from "what appeared to be a single gunshot wound to the head" at a residence in the 400 block of Aztlan Circle. He was unconscious but breathing when police arrived and was taken by helicopter to Mee Memorial Hospital in King City, where he was pronounced dead.
Charges for the Vasquez murder were dismissed before the preliminary hearing because of insufficient evidence, but were refilled in May 2011 based on new information.
In December 2010, Canchola was charged with shooting Martinez on Oct. 6.
Martinez, who was a passenger in a van stopped at Fourth Street, was killed when a man dressed in black ran up and fired shots through the window, according to a witness.
Soledad police detective Thomas Marchese testified in an earlier court hearing that four people saw the gunman before or after the attack on Martinez. One witness identified Canchola after pointing him out in a photo lineup.
An autopsy revealed Martinez was hit by two shots on the right side of his neck below his skull. The shots were fired a foot from Martinez, said pathologist John Hain.

Train Song #3 features Dinah Shore. Remember Dinah Shore? I do. It takes a long train with a red caboose to carry my blues away, friends.
Dinah Shore was born in 1916 and lived until 1994. She had 80 charted pop hits in the 40s and 50s. She was featured on radio, she was an actress, and and she even had a television talk show. As a bonus, she even recorded a train song, giving me an excuse to feature her here on 27th Street. I don't know anything about this song or who is playing on it, so if you happen to know that info, please comment. I do know that the tune was also recorded by Peggy Lee.
Only two more train songs to go and still so many to choose from before we turn our attention to songs about drinking (it was the whiskey talking, not me….honest).

January 3, 2014
On the field, the 2013 Nevada Union football team finished 0-10, the worst record in the history of the school. They were beat handily in all 10 contests and rarely gave fans reason to stay past halftime.
So what has NU athletic director Steve Pilcher and head coach Dennis Houlihan smiling as they look back on the winless season?
The bigger picture — that's what.
The Miners may have not been the powerhouse program on the field that fans are accustomed to, but they routinely received high praise was for their work in the community.
Throughout the season, Nevada Union football players spent their Sunday's pitching in around the community, helping to bridge the popular high school program with the community that supports it.
"We brought this challenge to the kids, and we told them that it was important, and we wanted to link NU to the community," NU head football coach Dennis Houlihan said. "I'm not saying that it hadn't been done, but we wanted to take it to another level, and they ran with it. Every single time we needed a volunteer, I never needed to ask because there was too many. It was great. We just got on a rotation."

The NU football team helped out with the Healthy Harvest food drive, they bundled fire wood for the elderly prior to the cold weather, they cleaned up Pioneer Cemetery, they put in work with Healthy Gardens breaking new foundation, and they cleaned up for all kinds of activities, including stock car races. In all, the football team spent 12 Sundays in the community, pitching in wherever it was needed.
"We had letters coming from the community saying how polite our boys were and how helpful they were," Houlihan said. "What they presented in front of the people they were helping was all positive."
For its efforts in community service, Nevada Union was chosen by the Sac-Joaquin Section to be the 2013 recipient of the Dick Nelson Award, which is presented annually to the prep sports program that displays an undaunted commitment to its community.
"I don't want anyone to get it wrong — winning and losing does count because we don't do this if we were not keeping track," Houlihan said. "But one of the things we wanted to do was replace things that have been missing for a long time, piece by piece. The community service, the bridging of faculty and our team, and yeah, (the award) validates a lot of the things I said we were going to do when we got here.
"We were going to make a culture change, and the school was looking for that, and I told them if they didn't mind I'd like our football team to be the head of that. I really feel we were very successful in that part."
This was the first year Nevada Union had submitted an application for the award with both the football and girls volleyball programs sending in applications. The girls volleyball team spent countless hours helping out Hospitality House, and for its efforts, it was runner-up for the award. So out of more than 200 schools, Nevada Union ended up in a battle with itself for the award.
"The timing is perfect because it shows that football is about more than wins and losses," said Pilcher.
"For me, because I'm a teacher, we're still teachers, whether we are off-campus teachers who don't have a credential or an on-campus teacher who has a credential. We're all teachers. That's what we do, and in sports, it's still about teaching and teachable moments, and I think this is one of the most important things you can teach kids — to contribute and give back to the community."
Pilcher and Houlihan gave a lot of credit for organizing the volunteer effort to Brad Scott, who sought out and lined up many of the Miners' activities.
The award gives some validation to the character-driven approach Houlihan has toted since taking over, but Pilcher reminds that the award is nice, but that's not why the kids put forth the effort.
"This wasn't to win an award," he said. "This was to get our football team back into that community giving — football being more than just on the field on Friday nights — and I think its important that all of our kids, all our student-athletes, realize they are part of a community and that they feel grounded."
Pilcher said the way the NU football team carried itself in the community amid a losing season is indicative of the changes he wants to see in NU sports.
"A lot of our coaches are getting on board and realize that character is the most important thing," Pilcher said. "We took a good look at ourselves the past couple years and asked what's important and why are we doing this. We'd love to win more section titles, we'd love to win more games, but the bottom line is we are teachers, we're members of the community, we're fathers, we're mothers, and we need to teach our kids."
Pilcher along with Houlihan, NU Principal Mike Blake and a few select members from the football team will be honored for their civic service at a breakfast banquet where they will be presented with the award and a $500 check.

Expert Advice
MSTV: Updo and Flat Iron Tricks
On the last episode of Modern Salon TV, we treated you to a few hair tips and tricks from a few celebrity stylists and platform artists. Last time in our Beauty Buzz segment, we focused on texture and how one tool can be used to create different stylesâthe flat iron.
Before the Beauty Buzz segment, updo extraordinaire Martin Parsons who specializes in creating stunning special occasion looks, taught viewers how to put a finishing touch on any stylish updo. In the segment a strand of hair was sticking out of the updo. To fix this problem, he used a large bobby pin, horizontally inserted it into the hair and tucked the piece back in. According to Parsons, itâs a âmiracle techniqueâ you can teach to clients, the maid of honor or the bride on her wedding day. To see his simple technique, click here
During the Beauty Buzz segment Jason Stanton, hair stylist for Solano, showed us how he produces texture. âI donât call it a flat iron or a straightening ironâ¦I call it a texturizing iron,â he says. His segment goes on to show how he uses his texturizing iron to style texture into a short pixie cut.
Derek J., Celebrity stylist and platform artist for Belson, showed us a more modern way to create a full set of bouncy curls on a clientâs head with a flat iron. To do this he carefully wrapped 2-3 inches of hair around the barrel of the flat iron to create his style. Check out his technique.
The segment finishes off with a texturizing tip from Trent Day, celebrity stylist and platform artist of Salon Tech. To replicate his technique, wrap ¼-½ inch of hair around two carbon combs. You will wrap in a knitting like pattern, zig zagging around the combs. Once you wrap the hair, slide over with a flat iron and then gently take the finished product, tease it a little, and it will create your desired look. To see his look, click here.

TALLAHASSEE — With surprising ease, the Florida Senate ended a special lawmaking session a day early Tuesday by approving a package of train legislation designed to kick-start a troubled Central Florida rail project, bail out South Florida's Tri-Rail and win billions of dollars in federal bullet-train money.
Gov. Charlie Crist said he'll eagerly sign the legislation that seemed in trouble just last week when lawmakers raised concerns about the expense, liability language in case of accidents and union jobs for the proposed SunRail commuter line in the Orlando area.
But the AFL-CIO struck a deal Tuesday with state transportation officials to keep federal railroad and labor job protections for some of its members, giving Democrats more of a reason to join Republicans in backing the bill on a 27-10 vote.
A key player: Sen. Jeremy Ring of Margate, who sponsored the bill and kept wooing fellow Democrats and the unions to his side.
Ring's pitch for the bill was all about jobs. Not only would construction workers and engineers find employment, he said, but the state's economy also would be changed by a network of commuter, light and high-speed rail systems that would link the major urban areas from Jacksonville to Miami to Orlando to Tampa.
"This will transform the future of Florida," Ring said. "Today, the Florida Senate took the bold step of planning for a 21st century transportation system."
Sen. Mike Fasano, a New Port Richey Republican who chairs the Senate's transportation budget committee, said it's not just South and Central Florida that stand to gain from the legislation. He said the Tampa Bay region, because of its transportation planning and strategic location, could be first in line to draw money from an estimated $60 million source of rail dollars that the bill establishes in 2014.
"They have a great shot at getting a good amount — if not most — of that money," Fasano said.
But the legislation is only a first step.
Crist and legislative leaders hope that the bill will help persuade federal transit officials to look kindly on Florida's request for $2.5 billion in federal stimulus money to help build a bullet train.
Over and over again, state lawmakers said federal officials told the state that it "needs to get its act together'' on commuter rail. The feds, though, haven't promised the money. But federal officials did threaten to take back about $256 million in federal money for Tri-Rail if it cut back on services due to budget cuts.
The legislation is divided into three major parts that establish a new rail oversight "enterprise'' at the Department of Transportation, give Tri-Rail up to $15 million more annually and give taxpayer-backed liability protections to the freight carrier CSX, which is selling 61 miles of tracks to the state for the SunRail project.
That last issue, liability for CSX, was a deal-breaker in the Florida Senate for the past two years as Sen. Paula Dockery, R-Lakeland, hammered home the difficulties of protecting a private company from being held liable in case of accidents. She also has described the $1.2 billion deal for a rail system serving 3,500 riders as a "boondoggle'' and a case of corporate welfare.
Dockery, a backer of rail systems in general, also took issue with the idea that jobs would be created by the legislation. She pointed out that Tri-Rail perpetually runs a deficit.
"So we didn't solve Tri-Rail's problems, because we only gave them $15 million. They needed more. We didn't solve the taxpayers' problem because we're paying too much for this (SunRail) project. And high-speed rail really needed nothing coming out of this session," said Dockery, who is running for governor.
In the end, legislative leaders insisted that CSX pick up some liability in the case of an accident.
Some say it isn't enough. A Fort Lauderdale widow, Angel Palank, testified during the special session that CSX had a history of shoddy maintenance practices that led to the death of her husband, Miami police Officer Paul Palank, in a 1991 South Carolina derailment case. Palank ultimately won $50 million in a lawsuit.
But, under the bill, such jury awards would be tougher to come by for victims' families, she said.
"I'm not trying to create rich widows who sue the train company," Palank said. "I'm trying to make sure the rail lines are safe by making a company like CSX have an incentive to do so."
Not only did CSX get a win Tuesday when the Senate approved the legislation, so did Crist and Senate President Jeff Atwater, who called the special session without having 21 votes assured — the minimum needed to pass legislation in the 40-member Senate.
At times, the legislation seemed cursed. Black lawmakers were angered when the special session interfered with a long-planned national conference they were hosting in Fort Lauderdale last week.
Then Rep. Baxter Troutman said he wouldn't vote on the legislation because it posed a conflict of interest for a family company controlled by his estranged cousin, Sen. J.D. Alexander. Both are Polk County Republicans. Alexander secured a Senate general counsel's opinion Tuesday telling him he could vote on SunRail, though the deal could benefit his family's railroad warehousing business. He voted yes.
Throughout, unions threatened to scuttle the deal, along with a group of conservative "tea party'' activists opposed to what they said was "corporate welfare."
House Speaker Larry Cretul, whose chamber easily passed the bill Monday, credited Crist with playing an "instrumental'' role with the AFL-CIO, which wanted about 184 Tri-Rail and SunRail union members to keep federal pension benefits and job protections that include the right to raise safety concerns without the risk of getting fired.
Crist simply said he was "pleased'' that the legislation passed. "It really thrusts Florida into the future."
Late Tuesday, Crist phoned U.S. Sen. George LeMieux to ask him to lobby U.S. Department of Transportation Secretary Ray LaHood on Florida's behalf.

(NEW YORK) — Suitulaga Hunkin was just 26 years old when he learned that his heart had worn out.
He went to the hospital believing he was suffering from heat stroke, only to end up being diagnosed with cardiomyopathy. His heart had been stretched out and weakened, and, unlike a rubber band, it could not simply snap back into shape.
Weighing in at approximately 300 lbs, Hunkin knew he was technically overweight but thought he had been relatively healthy. He did regular weightlifting and spent 10 hours a day working as a plumber. Even after his diagnosis, Hunkin said that because he was young and naive, he didn't understand just how serious the situation was.
"It was crazy. I was in denial. I was like, 'Oh, you know that this is nothing. This'll be all right,'" said Hunkin.
Once he was diagnosed, Hunkin had to quit his job and could no longer work out. He spent his days stuck at home and quickly began to gain weight, reaching 350 lbs.
"Being in heart failure, it sucks," said Hunkin. "You walk fifteen steps and feel like your heart was going to explode."
Hunkin, a father of four who is of Samoan descent, said that his upbringing included plenty of high-calorie, salty meals. He had always begun each day with a hearty breakfast.
In the years after his diagnosis, Hunkin's health continued to deteriorate. After he had a small stroke, doctors found that Hunkin's heart was so damaged he needed a VAD (Ventricular Assist Device), a small mechanical pump to help his weakened heart.
While the machine bought him time, it did not cure him. A year after the device was implanted, it had to be replaced due to mechanical problems. It was then that Hunkin's cardiologist Teresa De Marco, the director of Advanced Heart Failure Program at UC San Francisco Medical Center, sat him down and told him that unless he got into shape and had a heart transplant, he would not survive.
"She said, 'You're killing yourself,'" recalled Hunkin. "[She said,] 'Do it for your wife, do it for your kids, but do it for yourself.'"
Since there wasn't a transplant doctor at the UC San Francisco Medical Center at the time, De Marco called different transplant centers to see if anyone would take him. No one would agree to operate on him because of his weight.
There are many reasons for an obese patient to be ineligible for a transplant. The operation is taxing on the body, and finding a matching heart is nearly impossible for obese patients.
"Obese patients, it's difficult to find a match," said De Marco. "The metabolic demands are higher when you're obese and it's hard to find donors who are within that range."
In order for Hunkin to be added to the transplant list, his doctors said he needed to get his weight down to 250-270 lbs with a BMI of approximately 35.
With the support of his doctors, Hunkin began to change his eating habits and to walk. He started with 10 minutes a day, up and down an alley near his house.
"It's like an addiction when you lose weight. The first 10 pounds come off, before I knew it I'm down 30-40 lbs," said Hunkin. "We had a new heart surgeon at UCSF, [Georg Wieselthaler]. He said, 'You know, I'm really happy you're losing the weight. You lose 20 more pounds and I'll transplant you.'"
Wieselthaler, the program director for cardiac transplantation at UCSF Medical Center, said that Hunkin's positive reaction to the VAD pump meant he was able to become more and more active, which helped him lose the weight.
"All of sudden you have exercise capabilities you didn't have before. To me that's an essential part of the whole story," said Wieselthaler. "Without that pump, he never would have been to do that."
After losing over 100 lbs to reach a weight of approximately 250, Hunkin was added to the transplant list and received a new heart on Aug. 8, 2012.
"I'll never forget that day. 'They said, 'We're putting you on the list,'" recalled Hunkin. "I dropped the phone."
After his surgery, Hunkin recovered quickly and was even able to walk a few steps around his room the day after his surgery.
Wieselthaler said he believes that with the new heart and a carefully regulated drug regimen, Hunkin has an excellent prognosis.
"We learned a lot over the last 30-40 years with drugs that can help suppress rejection of certain organs," said Wieselthaler. "We tailor immune suppressant medication for each patient. By doing so, we have excellent long term results."
In the six months since his operation, Hunkin has kept the weight off by walking and doing small toning exercises multiple times per week.

Bill Radke: China's sovereign wealth fund has a $200-billion war chest. Now late last year most of that money was in cash. But Marketplace's Steve Henn reports China Investment Corp. has gone on a buying binge.
Steve Henn: CIC invested less than $5 billion outside of China last year. This year it's spending more than that each month. And it's buying stake in mines and energy companies all over the world.
Phillip Levy: China is a fairly resource poor country.
Phillip Levy is an economist at the American Enterprise Institute. He says China's leaders and business elite worry a lot about where their natural resources will come from 10 years from now.
Levy: I think there is a very limited degree of confidence that they will just get whatever they need on open international markets. In many ways when it comes to energy or commodities, they see security as having an ownership stake.
Buying commodities and the companies who produce them provides a measure of security if the dollar loses value.
But John Frisbee at the U.S.-China Business Council says China has its eye on more than just mines and oil companies.
JOHN FRISBEE: I think we should expect over time that China will start to invest in other ways.
Chinese firms are already making dishwashers in South Carolina and buying auto-parts companies in the Midwest.
I'm Steve Henn for Marketplace.

Emotional Experience and Religious Understanding
Full Product Description
In this book Mark Wynn argues that the landscape of philosophical theology looks rather different from the perspective of a re-conceived theory of emotion. In matters of religion, we do not need to opt for objective content over emotional form or vice versa. On the contrary, these strategies are mistaken at root, since form and content are not properly separable here - because 'inwardness' may contribute to 'thought-content', or because (to use the vocabulary of the book) emotional feelings can themselves constitute thoughts; or because, to put the point a further way, in religious contexts, perception and conception are often infused by feeling. Wynn uses this perspective to forge a distinctive approach to a range of established topics in philosophy of religion, notably: religious experience; the problem of evil; the relationship of religion and ethics, and religion and art; and in general, the connection of 'feeling' to doctrine and tradition.
Emotional Experience and Religious Understanding by Mark Wynn was published by Cambridge University Press (Virtual Publishing) in December 2009. The ISBN for Emotional Experience and Religious Understanding is 9780511610509.

There vehicles are another option for funding college expenses.
College-savings expert Susan Bart answers advisors' questions on 529 plans and other education-planning matters. E-mail your questions to email@example.com.
In my August column, I compared 529 savings accounts with an alternative way of making gifts to minors, gifts to 2503(c) trusts. In my September column, I compared 529 savings accounts with gifts to Crummey trusts that are each established for a single beneficiary. Thus both my August and September columns discussed trusts that would only have a single beneficiary. These types of trusts by definition can only make distributions to the single beneficiary during such beneficiary's life. These types of trusts do not permit distributions among a group of beneficiaries for a particular purpose, such as paying education expenses. Further, although both the 2503(c) trust and a Crummey trust for a single beneficiary could own a section 529 account for the trust beneficiary, the beneficiary of such a trust-owned 529 account could not be changed. Thus a major limitation of these types of trusts is the inability to spray trust distributions among the group of beneficiaries.
This month I will discuss another alternative way of making gifts to minors, gifts to a Crummey trust established for multiple beneficiaries, all of whom are children of the donor. I am limiting this column to discussing shared Crummey trusts for children to avoid confusion; where a shared Crummey trust is established for grandchildren or more remote descendants, the complicated generation-skipping transfer ("GST") tax consequences need to be taken into account. A future column will discuss shared Crummey trusts for grandchildren.
Usually gifts to a trust do not qualify for the gift tax annual exclusion because the trust beneficiary does not have the "present interest" required to qualify for the gift tax annual exclusion. Typically, a trust beneficiary only has a future interest in the trust property. However, the case of Crummey v. Commissioner, 397 F.2d 82 (9th Circuit 1968) established that a present interest is created if the beneficiary of a trust has the right to withdraw contributions to the trust when made. Thus annual exclusion gifts to a Crummey trust will qualify for the gift tax annual exclusion.
A Crummey trust may have multiple beneficiaries, each of whom has a right to withdraw a portion of contributions made to the trust. For example, if Mother establishes a shared Crummey trust for her children, Alice, Atticus and Alex, the trust could provide that each child would have a right to withdraw a pro rata share of each contribution to the trust. Thus if Mother contributed $39,000 to the trust in 2009 (and made no other gifts to the children during the year), each child would have a right to withdraw $13,000 of the contribution and the entire contribution to the trust would qualify for the gift tax annual exclusion.
Tax complications arise, however, when the beneficiaries' rights of withdrawal lapse. When a beneficiary's right to withdraw a contribution lapses, the beneficiary is deemed to have made a gift to the trust to the extent the lapse in any year exceeds the greater of $5,000 or 5% of the trust assets. Thus in the prior example, if the trust was worth $100,000 or less, and assuming that the rights of withdrawal lapsed 90 days after the contribution to the trust was made, upon the date the rights of withdrawal lapsed, each beneficiary would be deemed to have made a gift to the trust of $8,000 ($13,000 less $5,000). As discussed in the September column, with a Crummey trust for a single beneficiary, gift tax consequences can be avoided by giving the beneficiary a power to appoint the trust assets upon his or her death. This solution, however, is generally not available with respect to a shared Crummey trust.
There are a number of possible strategies to avoid a taxable gift from each beneficiary to the trust upon the lapse of the beneficiary's rights of withdrawal. One possible strategy is for the donor to initially fund the trust with a $260,000 taxable gift. Because 5% of $260,000 is $13,000, the amount of the expected annual gifts to the shared Crummey trust, the lapse of a beneficiary's withdrawal right would not exceed 5% of the value of the trust assets, and the beneficiary would not be deemed to be making a gift to the trust (assuming the value of the trust assets did not dip below $260,000). To implement this strategy, the donor would have to be willing to make a taxable gift of $260,000 to the trust. If the donor still had an amount equal to at least $260,000 of his or her $1,000,000 lifetime exemption available, there would be no gift tax cost to initially funding the trust in this manner. However, to the extent the donor had already utilized his or her $1,000,000 lifetime exclusion, a gift tax would be imposed on the $260,000 gift to the trust (currently at a rate of 45%). Further, many clients may not have the ability initially to fund the trust so generously.
A second strategy is to have cascading rights of withdrawal so that when a beneficiary's rights of withdrawal lapse and the beneficiary is deemed to have made a gift to the trust, the other beneficiaries have new rights of withdrawal over the deemed gift. This is a very complicated solution and to my knowledge has never been tested with the IRS.

From the Super Mario Wiki
Jump to: navigation, search
Retrieved from "https://www.mariowiki.com/index.php?title=Paratroopea&oldid=2288715"
A Paratroopea is a winged Troopea that appears in the Beanbean Kingdom in Mario & Luigi: Superstar Saga. They resemble Paratroopas, only they are four-footed and have sprouts on the tops of their heads. Paratroopeas are sometimes assisted by Bob-ombs, and in turn, Paratroopeas occasionally appear alongside Tanoombas in battle. Their main attack consists in swooping down at Mario or Luigi, but the plumbers can easily dodge it by watching the Paratroopea's shadow on the floor and jumping. If the Paratroopea dips a little before flying into the sky, it will target Luigi. If not, its target will be Mario. Paratroopeas are able to heal all other enemies in battle by creating water droplets that land on their injured allies. When Paratroopeas take enough damage, they will lose their wings and become regular Troopeas.
A stronger version of Paratroopeas appear when the Bros. progress further Joke's End; they are called Scaratroopea and have orange shells.

Tomorrow is a monumental day for us here at Phins Phocus. Yes, we had the privilege of interviewing Charles Clay and Kory Sheets a couple weeks ago, and we are very appreciative of those two for sitting down with us. But Davone Bess is one of the league's best slot receivers, a huge contributor on the Dolphins' offense, and has a remarkable story to boot, going from a troubled childhood in California, to one of the nation's most productive receivers in Hawaii's run and shoot offense, to undrafted, to stardom in Miami.
Bess proved to be a real class act in his interview with Daniel today. I knew Davone was one of the league's good guys, as he's very active in the community with his charity organization, but my respect for him has grown tremendously with this interview. So it's easy to see why we're excited.
Make sure you check back with us tomorrow morning for the interview, but for now, I thought I would put together a few video clips in Davone's honor to hold us over. If you haven't seen the first clip yet, "Davone Bess Out of the Fog," it's a must see for any Dolphin fan. Truly an amazing story.

Ilya Bryzgalov has long had a fascination with Star Wars and hockey, but now he has made it clear in which order he prefers them.
The Flyers goaltender admitted recently that he hasn't been watching much playoff hockey since the Flyers failed to qualify for any, and when elaborating, answered as only he could.
"There's no time," Bryzgalov explained, "and no real interest. I'd rather watch Star Wars with my son."
Bryz made news earlier this season involving the sci-fi franchise when he was asked by Lucasfilm to fix the lightsaber color painted on his goalie mask with Yoda, so he's clearly a big fan. It's hard to blame Bryzgalov for doing right by his family, then — as long as he sticks to the original movie trilogy.
