Google's digital marketplace for mobile applications, music, movies and books is unifying under a new name in an effort to spruce up the shopping experience.
(AP) -- YouTube has been very good to bedroom singers, who have found a quick path to fame, and major labels, which have benefited from some of the largest digital audiences for their top music videos.
Apple Inc. sewed up contracts with the four major record labels by Thursday for a cloud music service, with agreements from music publishers to follow Friday, according to sources familiar with the negotiations.
(AP) -- Album lovers may rejoice a little at last: a British court says Pink Floyd, purveyor of iTunes-unfriendly concept records, cannot be unbundled.
(AP) -- Pink Floyd has begun legal action against music label EMI Group Ltd. over the way royalty payments are calculated in the digital era.
(AP) -- MySpace's online music venture with recording labels completed its purchase of song streaming site imeem on Tuesday, scooping up its 16 million users and mobile phone applications for less than $1 million.
(AP) -- Music videos from Norah Jones, Coldplay, Katy Perry and other artists under EMI Group PLC are headed to an online music video venture, Vevo, set to launch Tuesday with a gala in New York.
(AP) -- Social-networking site MySpace is using its joint venture with recording companies to launch a music video service that will pop into millions of profiles at rival Facebook as well.
(AP) -- Just weeks after a federal jury ruled that a Minnesota woman must pay $1.92 million for illegally sharing copyright-protected music, the recording industry wants to make sure she doesn't do it again.
(AP) -- Recording company Sony Music Entertainment has joined Vevo, an online music video site due to launch this year with the backing of Universal Music Group and YouTube.

Fall is one of those seasons that seems to be welcomed by us all. It means an end to the relentless heat of summer, the start of school, beautiful foliage, fun holidays, and of course, OKTOBERFEST!
Though its roots are in Germany, most cities have Oktoberfest activities to celebrate beer and Bavaria. While I, too, look forward to fall, thinking about Oktoberfest celebrations and our local craft beer celebration called "Top of the Hops" got me thinking about a serious threat to our pets – hops poisoning.
Hops (scientifically known as Humulus lupulus) are plants used in the beer brewing process to add flavor to beer. Spent hops are those that are left over after they have lent their flavor to the brew. While it is highly unlikely that your pet will run into spent hops on a normal day around town, hops poisoning is still worth talking about.
The number of people choosing to try beer brewing at home is growing. Home brewers everywhere will have spent hops after they brew, and it may prove to be a treat that is hard to resist for pets.
When spent hops are consumed by dogs, a life-threatening condition called malignant hyperthermia can result. The exact mechanism of toxicity is unknown at this time. Any breed of dog is susceptible, but some breeds are already predisposed to malignant hyperthermia, therefore hops are particularly dangerous for them. These breeds include Greyhounds, Labrador Retrievers, Saint Bernards, Doberman Pinschers, and English Springer Spaniels.
The hallmark of malignant hyperthermia is a rapid, uncontrollable increase in body temperature. These pets often have fevers in of 105o F or higher. In susceptible dogs, environmental stress or some types of anesthetics trigger malignant hyperthermia. But in cases of hops poisoning, it is ingestion of the hops plant that causes signs. Poisoning cases can be mild to severe, depending on the amount of hops that have been ingested.
Clinical signs (other than elevated temperature) include restlessness, panting, increased heart rate, and vomiting. During an episode of malignant hyperthermia, severely increased body temperature will result in unreplenished oxygen consumption, leading to cell death, multiple organ failure, and a life-threatening blood clotting disorder called disseminated intravascular coagulation (DIC).
Without treatment, dogs and cats with malignant hyperthermia can quickly deteriorate and will eventually succumb.
While both dogs and cats can get malignant hyperthermia from ingesting hops, I have talked mostly about dogs because cats tend to get themselves in less trouble as far as eating weird food goes. But if you have a cat who is keen on trying new things, you should be aware of the potential danger of hops ingestion.
If your pet has consumed spent hops, it is a veterinary emergency, and you should proceed to your veterinarian's office or the closest emergency center. It's always a good idea to let them know that you're coming so that they can prepare for your arrival. Because hops toxicity is a relatively newly recognized phenomenon, your veterinarian may not even be aware of their potential danger. He or she may need to consult with veterinary toxicologists when planning your pet's treatment.
It is likely that vomiting will be induced in your pet if hops ingestion was recent. This will help keep the side effects at a minimum. If signs of malignant hyperthermia are already present, your pet will be hospitalized for intravenous fluids and muscle relaxers. If signs are not present, your pet will still likely be kept in the hospital for several hours while his or her temperature is monitored.
Even with treatment, some dogs will still die from malignant hyperthermia resulting from hops ingestion. If you, or anyone you know, is a home brewer, be aware of the risks and keep hops well out of the reach of your four-legged family members, be they hungry hounds or curious kitties!

Meagan Bosch has grown to like being the right-side hitter
Meagan Bosch was a reluctant right-side hitter last fall.
Coming out of Palisade High School, she wanted to be the next great outside hitter for the Mesa State College volleyball team.
"It was really frustrating playing right side, a new position," Bosch said. "Adjusting to college volleyball is tough enough, but over the spring season I worked on it a lot and it clicked. I like it way better than left side."
The Mavericks had seven outside hitters (left side) last season and only a couple on the right side. Mesa State coach Dave Fleming figured Bosch would have a chance to play sooner on the right.
That's just what happened, and Bosch couldn't be happier. In fact, she might wrinkle her nose if Fleming asked her to move back to the left.
"Meagan's a great kid. She's not going to say boo if she doesn't like something," Fleming said. "She just wanted an opportunity."
Bosch has played in every game and is second on the team in kills with 55, trailing outside hitter Alisan
Tompkins, who has 86. She's also second in attack percentage at .245 (143 attacks, 20 hitting errors) and she's second on the team with 17 total blocks.
And she made the all-tournament team in both tournaments the Mavs played this season.
"One of the terms we use is 'the golden child.' When she touches the ball, good things happen," Fleming said.
"She makes very few errors. She hits the right place at the right time. You think, 'She's just lucky. She's just lucky.' Well, you can only be lucky so many times."
Typically, coaches prefer to have left-handed hitters playing on the right side and right-handed hitters on the left side. It keeps their hitting arm on the inside of the court, giving them better angles to attack the entire floor.
Bosch is right-handed. She's learned, though, to use that to her advantage.
"It's awkward for a right-handed player to play on the right side, just like it's awkward for a left-handed player to play on the left side," Bosch said. "That was most of my adjustment, learning how to do the approaches.
"It's totally backwards. It's awkward, but it's also more difficult to block a right-handed hitter on the right side."
Bosch likes to hit the ball on the move, starting in the middle of the front row and hitting the ball as she slides behind the setter to the right side. She jumps off her left foot and twists her body back toward the inside, giving her the proper angle to attack.
"It's hard to block," she said. "I can hit it anywhere, and for some reason, sliding lets me hit it harder. It gives my shoulder more pop on the ball."
Bosch and the Mavericks (2-4) open RMAC play at 7 p.m. on Friday in newly-lighted Brownson Arena against Western New Mexico University (6-2). Saturday night, New Mexico Highlands (4-3) is in town.
As part of the college's Saunders Fieldhouse renovation, new lights were installed late last week. Gone are the yellow-tinted bulbs, replaced by white florescent lights.
It's so much brighter, the volleyball team returned to practice Monday and thought the walls had been painted.
"It's brighter on the floor, but it's weird looking up in them," Bosch said Tuesday. "If the ball goes up in them, you lose it. But it definitely makes the gym brighter."
Fleming said last week's 0-3 record at the CU-Colorado Springs tournament wasn't necessarily a case of the Mavs not playing well. It's more of a case of them not playing well at the same time.
"We're more talented than the teams we're losing to. We just have to put it together on the floor and play as a team and not just the six talented individuals," he said.
"A lot of it is our unforced errors. The games we're losing, 25 percent of our attack is an error. The games we win, it's 15 percent or less.
"They need to understand that you don't need to be an All-American on this contact. Keep the ball in play, trust the defense and get a better swing the next time."

I know you've been waiting with baited breath for the coupon manifesto. Today is your lucky day; it's here! Hopefully we can help you out with combining our meal plans with coupons to help you REALLY maximize your savings. So, let's dive in, shall we?
- The first rule of thumb is to buy multiple copies of the newspaper on Sunday if you know it will be a week with lots of inserts. It contains coupon inserts including, but not limited to Smart Source, Red Plum, General Mills & Proctor & Gamble. You can check what coupons will be coming out in advance by going to Sunday Coupon Preview.
- Plan your trip to the store in advance. This will save you time and help cut back on any impulse buys. Also, on that note don't shop hungry, just say no.
- An invaluable tool for couponers is http://www.hotcouponworld.com/. Hot Coupon World matches up all coupons with your store's sales and does most of the work for you. Hot Coupon World does most stores such as Kroger, CVS, Target, etc. and matches their sales up with coupons that apply. You can also search Hot Coupon World's database for staple items on your E-mealz grocery list. That way if you're out of flour, you simply type that in to see what coupons are available that you may be able to clip or print out.
- Lots of abbreviations are found on Hot Coupon World and other money saving sites. Here's your key to what they mean– RP (Red Plum), SS (Smart Source), PG (Proctor and Gamble), WT (wine tag), Peelies (coupons that can be "peeled" off of the boxes at the store), Blinkies (coupons found in the little machines with the red blinking light by the item in the store), IP (internet printable coupon).
- Have patience; it takes time to create a stockpile of coupons that can really be utilized to get the maximum savings. In the beginning, you can rely heavily on IP's (internet printables). In the beginning, I started out saving $10 off a $70 purchase but now I usually save well over $30 and walk out paying around $20. My best percentage ever was when I saved $33 & paid 83 CENTS! Make it fun! Try to beat your percentage each week, the competition gives me a "couponer's high!" Trust me, my husband is thankful for that high vs a buying shoes high.
- Join stores' promotional and member clubs. They often send high value or unusual coupons in the mail. For instance, right now you can join Save-A-Lots's Smart Shopper Club & receive a $5/$30 coupon that you can use at their store or at another store as a competitor coupon if they accept them as a competitor.
Cutting back on your grocery budget can literally save you hundreds of dollars per month, I know it does for our family. I'm happy to help you out as your E-mealz couponing guru! Let me know if you have any questions in the comments. Have you all tried couponing before? Do you like using coupons on top of your E-mealz plan? What has been your most successful coupon story?

Hello. If you'd like to chat about this holiday or need help finding one we're very happy to help. Rosy & team.01273 823 700 email@example.com
We try to do our contribution of preserving the environment and save it for future generations. We emphasize principles of responsible and sustainable travel in each level of our business: "Minimize the bad and maximize the good impacts of tourism to protect the environment and socio-cultural diversity as well as achieving positive economic results for the local community".
Tourism is not just about traveling, meeting people, different cultures - we have to see tourism as one of the world's largest industries too. Besides positive impacts, modern tourism can have negative environmental and socio-cultural impacts on: water, natural beauty of the country, beaches and islands, plants, birds and animals, traditional ways of life and cultural heritage. Principles of responsible travel can sustain destinations and local communities for the future.
Our efforts are present in following aspects of our business:
- We provide tours for small groups (up to 16 people), with small groups we can minimize negative and maximize positive effects of tourism in environments (irrespective of location: an island, beach, sea, national park or urban region).
- As transportation is very important in tourism, we support the idea of green transport; cleaner vehicle options which helps areas to stay cleaner.
- Seasonal pressures: we do marketing campaigns to spread guests throughout all seasons (spring, autumn or winter) not just through summer.
- Wherever possible we use accommodation providers which support efforts of good environmental practices such as recycling and conservation of water and energy.
- Using local employees, guides, accommodation providers and transportation services, we ensure that financial benefits remain in the local community.
- We employ local people, our accommodation is mostly provided in local run guest houses, cottages, or apartments; Our guides educate and inform guests on the tour about local culture, history, habits.
- On all our tours we use local produce and provide local-style meals, and we encourage our guests to try local dishes and delicacies. We support local economy and small business by supporting locally owned shops, restaurants, and using local guide services.
Our environmental policy
- We used recycled paper. We recycle all our waste paper (brochures, etc)
- Our correspondence and promotion is carried out via the internet and email, minimizing the amount of paper used for our activities.
- We support different local ecological associations and our staff was directly involved in afforestation (planting of pine trees in Dubrovnik area after fire disaster in summer 2007).
What you can do:
- Be informed about the cultural customs and environmental pressures on Croatia.
- In many places fresh water is a very precious commodity and should not be wasted, so use a minimum for showering and washing, especially when you are on islands, tap water is drinkable throughout Croatia.
- Turn out the lights or air condition when you leave your room, use the public transport as much as you can, minimize your waste generally
- Pick up your litter, never leave any trace in nature, when you are in rural areas please stay to the trails and don't damage or take any plants or flowers.
- Remember that your travel destination is someone home.
- Try to learn and use some Croatian worlds for example: dobro dosli - welcome.
Self guided walking tour on the sunny Croatian coast
From 520 - 670 7 days excluding flights
Walking holiday in Croatia's beautiful national parks
From 620 - 790 8 days excluding flights

So againg a bunch of few cents - this time about CTRL
...but as one of the unfortunate guys that once upon a time spent A LOT of time on this boring game and played in diplomacy I can't just keep quiet. Even if I'm a bit outside of info/rumours/logs and plots channels.
From what I've heard idea was to gather Poland, Spain, USA and Brazil and to create a loving alliance of 10/10 bonuses. I've even heard that ONE got disbanded in the process, but well - since it's just going to be reformed into PEACE v4 it doesn't really matter.
Just looking at the surface of CTRL idea it looks quite interesting: full bonuses, secured borders, new opportunities.
As if...
Well let's take a look at map:
to maintain resources Poland would have to occupy USA and Brazil allies: France, Germany, even Netherlands,
Spain would have to keep South American countries, but apparently no one cares about them and if they are occupied by Portugal or Spain doesn't matter,
USA could keep Spain regions since they aren't relevant or needed for anything by Spain - there's abundance of deers and iron there, but apparently USA has to go to Canada - at least according to Poles and Spaniards,
Brazil is living happily with their resources and if CTRL would be created no one would particularly care about countries that are occupied.
Sounds good, but what next? As for the moment neither Poland nor Spain want to drop ONEish/whateverish MPPs, which leads to conclusion that no matter what formally happens with alliance it's just like in the past.
On the other hand we have Brazil which still keeps MPPs with TEDEN (cept Romania but it's quite understandable) and USA which dropped most of them in the furious invasion for maple syrup and, well, hockey players?
And now we face a little problem: ex-ONEish countries complaining about focusing 99,99% dmg and time on Balkans wants to move some of this focus elsewhere. At the same time keeping MPPs with Serbia and Hungary and probably Bulgaria - which makes like 3 out of 8 countries involved in eternal holy wars. If we add the Country Which Name Shouldn't Be Spoken it makes unfixing the Balkan fixation possible... like snowing in Hell.
At least if USA and Brazil, which due to influence and different time zone are bigger and more painful torn for PEACE v3/4 than European members of TEDEN, would maintain MPPs with TEDEN (or Atlantis v2/3).
Probably as many of you I've seen some screenshots with PMs between Civil and Polish CP Prophet. Can't say if it's true or not, but well...
If USA (maybe Brazil aswell) would actually drop MPPs with TEDEN then of course ONEish/whateverish advantage in Europe would lead to total domination.
That's of course if US or Brazilian leaders would be actually stupid enough to trust Polish leaders or accept the fact that they are about to leave almost all the allies while other two possible CTRL members would keep all current MPPs.
That of course would also lead to downgrading both USA and Brazil into position of secondary states - without allies they'd be prone to not even military aggression, but to political take over. Why bother with invasion and risk dropping MPPs if it's easier to take it from inside? And in that scenario you can always say that those are private pTOers not government ones.
Since well - who would help them when their allies would be most likely occupied and fighting for freedom against Hungary, Serbia, CWNSBS or UK or any other country that would be a "close and dear" ally of Spoland?
Allies which would feel abandoned and betrayed?
Simply speaking CTRL idea could be interesting but only if it would mean starting things from 0 for all of participants. In any other case it will only lead to a second New World Order - state of the world where there are few dominant countries which keep rest under their feet.
Cept the fact that from what I observe the ones that would benefit the most are the countries coming from PEACE/ONE.
Because seriously what are the options for Brazil and USA after securing borders and resources? Mexico? Canada? Indonesia? Russia? Interesting and enjoyable like hell.
What for the Poland and Spain? Baltic countries or Russia, as for Spain after being perma crippled or occupied while being founding member of ONE resources and secured borders are enough.
Rest of Spolish "friends" would most likely win their holy wars without US and BR firepower which should be enough for a while. And what next?
Ask yourself.
And as for United Balkans idea - if CTRL would be a completely new alliance - where all of members would cut their ties with previous allies, then UB would be a funny counterpart. But well - there's too many holishitness between most of countries there and too much countries for the amount of resources in the area to make it possible.
This screenshot was one big fake lol, couldn't you look closer at avatars? It is a fake, and everyone except you and Romper can see it.
It is a slander. Shame on you.
PS. http://www.erepublik.com/en/article/just-plain-stupid-2095960/1/20
Big alliances are more and more useless in this war module where wars are infinite and regional. Bonuses are the key of everything and countries are fighting in regional wars to conquer bonuses or in RWs to keep those bonuses. The difference in the Balkans is that there isn't an advantage of a side against the other so their wars keep going in useless ping pongs which is seen only a damage drain for countries that want to keep the 10/10 bonuses.
And of course Balkan countries want to monopolize the damage of 10/10 countries in order to achieve dominance against their opponents and on the other hand they seek to obtain citizenships because in their native countries the ownership of bonuses is too much unstable.
An article based on a lie is not what i expected of Ariakis, is a dawn of old fags coming?
Our only aim is to finish this stupid game and try to fuck Plato as much as possible. You should know it and agree with this : )
XDDD so you want the US and Brazil fighting the stupid balkanic war 4ever? Its not a change of side is just leave the balkans war in the balkans and yeap for me is more interesting against Indo,Japan,China,Mexico or Canada, a war against Poland is useless for USA
XDDD so you want the US and Brazil fighting the stupid balkanic war 4ever? Its not a change of side is just leave the balkans war in the balkans and yeap for me is more interesting against Indo,Japan,China,Mexico or Canada, a war against Poland is useless for USA

Apparently it's hard to understand meaning of underlined text. I'm not deciding if it's true or not, but for certain there are two things that are, well - certain:
if all of 4 countries keep MPPs with their allies then situation won't change
if one of the pairs will drop their MPPs then it will lead to their alienation an domination of other block
Also past 1,5 year reduced Polish credibility into level being way under the 0,so...
mikel_ahone: so was the first NWO - guess it didn't work out
Ronald Stevens: if that's the case why don't you and Poland drop MPPs with Serbohuns? Fighting in their kindergarten must be as much boring as it is for USA or Brazil?
And nope - it this game you need to maintain a strong opponent/opponents - when game get too boring you lose citizens, but with someone strong enough to stand against you you have goals to achieve
It is not true, and it is easy to check, but you still are trying to suggest that this may be true.
Is it hard to check some simple facts to verify?
It didn't work cause we started to do stupid things like adding small countries. We were very close to achieve it, now we have another chance : )

Question of the day
Friday, Aug 22, 2014
* A couple of friends of mine are getting married soon and they're having a little pre-party celebration in Vegas this weekend. I'll be heading there soon, so you don't have much time to comment, unfortunately.
* The Question: Your favorite Las Vegas activity?
Keep it clean, people.

MARGARET WARNER: I'm joined now by Egyptian Foreign Minister Nabil Fahmy from Cairo.
And, Minister Fahmy, thanks for being with us.
It appears that your government is holding off for now using force to disperse these two sit-ins. Is that the case? If so, why?
FOREIGN MINISTER NABIL FAHMY, Egypt: Well, the decision taken by the government even two weeks ago was that the minister of interior would act when he sees it is necessary in accordance with the law. That's really the objective.
There's no desire to curtail any effort to find a solution to this. But, ultimately, it has to be resolved, either through dialogue or through the enforcement of the law.
MARGARET WARNER: How long remains before it has to be resolved?
NABIL FAHMY: Not very long.
MARGARET WARNER: Days?
NABIL FAHMY: Well, I'm not going to get into days or weeks, but I can tell you that we have been trying to resolve it for quite a while now.
Every effort will continue to be exerted to resolve it. This ultimately is something that will help Egypt move on. But, also, the country needs to — the government needs to exert its authority and provide the layman on the street free access to their homes, their facilities and so on and so forth.
We need start — start up the economy and preserve a sense of security for people as a whole. That can't happen when there is this problem with security on the ground.
MARGARET WARNER: Is there a split within the coalition government on how to proceed with this?
NABIL FAHMY: Before, saying that the minister of interior was mandated to take actions in accordance with the law, that's a decision. And at the same time, it didn't preempt efforts being made by good offices from different countries, including U.S. and E.U. and to Arab countries, to find a solution through dialogue.
So there's no contradiction between the two. But the only thing that has to be affirmed quite clearly is that we need to resolve this, so we can move on and build the country in accordance with the road map adopted.
MARGARET WARNER: What have the United States and the Europeans been telling your government privately? Are they warning that a violent crackdown could cost you international support, maybe even U.S. military aid?
NABIL FAHMY: What they have been telling us privately is very similar to what they have been saying publicly, that a best effort should be made to resolving this peacefully, that that would be the best solution for everyone.
And they have been urging us to be patient in trying to do that. They were here trying to do it. Those efforts, regrettably, didn't lead to a successful conclusion. We're not — there's no real challenge to the logic that they're presenting. We understand it is better to resolve it peacefully. But it cannot be a stalemate that ends — that continues endlessly. That also has to be dealt with.
MARGARET WARNER: Meanwhile, has your government made any concrete progress on the steps needed to restore civilian democracy, or is this standoff over the protest camps getting in the way?
NABIL FAHMY: The committee on the constitution, the legal aspect of it, has started its work already.
The committee on reconciliation has started its work already. And the government itself is going through a process of reviewing different laws and different programs and projects. But I admit, to get a true reconciliation, we are trying to encourage all the different factors — factions — excuse me — including the Islamists, to participate in this.
And resolving the stalemate on the ground would facilitate, in my view, the reconciliation process. And that's why it has to be done in a reasonably short period of time. Don't forget that the road map itself has a time limit of seven to nine months. That's a very short period of time, to write a Constitution, have reconciliation, and hold two elections.
MARGARET WARNER: Today, a Muslim Brotherhood spokesman was quoted as saying they would take part in reconciliation talks "under certain conditions" — quote, unquote.
Is there movement on that front?
NABIL FAHMY: Well, I know that Azhar was trying to bring together different ideas and different proposals to come up with a process to move forward based on the road map and moving forward from the 30th of June, not moving backwards.
I can't address what the proposals are that are being discussed presently, and hopefully there will be a solution, because we do need to resolve this one way or the other.
MARGARET WARNER: One of the ideas being floated is to give Morsi some sort of a fig leaf, to recognize his authority as the elected president before he hands it over.
Is something like that a workable compromise?
NABIL FAHMY: Well, again, Margaret, I'm not — I'm the minister of foreign affairs. My focus is on foreign policy. That's my first point.
The second point is, talks are ongoing. But anything that attempts to rewrite history, rather than to move forward from the 30th of June onwards, wouldn't carry much water, frankly.
MARGARET WARNER: Now, U.S. Senators McCain and Graham said in Cairo last week that it's unrealistic to expect any kind of real dialogue as long as Morsi and other political prisoners are being detained. Are they right about that? Why hasn't he been released?
NABIL FAHMY: The cases that have been brought against different Muslim Brotherhood leaders, including the president, are cases related to criminal offenses, not to political offenses.
MARGARET WARNER: But if somebody is only being investigated and hasn't been charged, why detain him in the meantime?
NABIL FAHMY: There's a process where, once the investigation starts, the investigating judge — or if it's a special judge, in accordance with the normal courts, by the way, he can determine whether the accused should be held while the process continues or not. And they take decisions on a 15-day basis. And that's what's happened so far.
MARGARET WARNER: Do you think any new constitution and elections will be seen as legitimate by the Egyptian people and the world if the Brotherhood hasn't participated in shaping them?
NABIL FAHMY: It's going to be open, transparent. And, as I said, it's an open invitation for everyone to participate. We would hope that it allows for a process where all Egyptians work together. Egypt will not only be — cannot only be for Islamists. It cannot only be for secularists. It has to involve everyone, but it has to be based on building an inclusive society for the future.
It can't be exclusive politics. And it can't be a process that is not transparent, doesn't respond to the interests of the people. So I would hope that we have everybody participating, and the door will remain open.
MARGARET WARNER: Foreign Minister Nabil Fahmy, thank you for joining us.
NABIL FAHMY: You're welcome, Margaret.

Arsene Wenger's attempts to spend money have once again been thwarted after the holding midfielder opted against a move to the Gunners to continue his career in the Bundesliga
|Arsenal are 17/2 with bet365 to beat Aston Villa 3-0
Arsenal had a £17.2 million bid accepted for the Brazilian earlier this week, but he has elected to stay in Germany and move to the Volkswagen arena.
Gustavo had fallen out of favour in Bavaria following the arrival of Pep Guardiola, who brought in Thiago Alcantara to complete a midfield already brimming with talent.
Bastian Schweinsteiger, Javi Martinez, Toni Kroos and Xherdan Shaqiri were already vying for central roles at the Allianz Arena.
Gustavo joined Bayern from Hoffenheim in January 2011, making over 60 Bundesliga appearances for die Roten and winning the treble in 2012-13.
The Brazilian midfielder joins compatriots Naldo, Diego and Felipe Lopes at Wolfsburg.

Fine Tuning Argument
Fine-tuning and Intelligent Life
The universe shows marks of design from fine-tuning; this is the conclusion of the teleological argument. But why should one consider constants that would make the universe fit for life as the preferred pattern to establish design? Is such a premiss justified? Dr. Craig answers this interesting question by noting that there are different versions of the argument for design from fine-tuning and that life-permitting conditions weigh more heavily in some than in others. He also writes that the value of a life-permitting pattern lies in its independence from the universe's laws and that design provides a "tidy explanation" for such finely-tuned conditions.
I've been thinking about the fine tuning argument, and while I like it and think it carries some weight, something about it bothers me. It seems to suffer from "life chauvinism."
In a poker hand a royal flush has intrinsic value and thus being dealt that hand is highly improbable and quite amazing. But that's because the rules of the game define a royal flush as having value before the hand is dealt.
What is the justification for asserting that life is the royal flush?
Life could be defined as an "amazing and improbable phenomenon" X1. Singing gas could be defined as "amazing and improbable phenomenon" X2. Rainbow planets with rings of fire could be X3. And so on.
Each phenomena is equally improbable and can only come about by a certain setting of the universal constants. Why assert that X1 has intrinsic value? Couldn't X2 "complain" that we are being phenomenonists by claiming that X1 is best?
It just seems to me that the rules about royal flushes are being made up only after the hand has been dealt.
Design from fine tuning
This is a very good question, Martin, about which I'd like to think more. But here are some preliminary reflections.
It seems to me that the question of why we should single out (intelligent) life as an instance of design from fine-tuning may be less important for some versions of the teleological argument than for others. Take, for example, a version of the argument such as Robin Collins presents in our Blackwell Companion to Natural Theology formulated along Bayesian lines in terms of the probability calculus. Letting "FT" represent the fine-tuning of the universe for intelligent life, "T" represent theism, and "ASU" represent the atheistic single universe hypothesis (i.e., there is a single universe and no God), Collins argues that the fine-tuning is significantly more probable on theism that it is on atheism: Pr (FT/T) >> Pr (FT/ASU). Therefore, the observed fine-tuning confirms the hypothesis of theism.
On this version of the argument, it doesn't seem that your question is especially pressing. We can calculate the probabilities of other observations as well to see if they similarly confirm theism. Take rainbow planets with fiery rings (X3). Is Pr (X3/T) >> Pr (X3/ASU)? It doesn't seem like it. There's no reason to think that Pr (X3/T) is very high or that Pr (X3/ASU) is very low—unless you're thinking it to be naturally impossible, in which case such a miraculous phenomenon would be evidence of theism. —similarly, for X2, singing gas, whatever you mean by that! So it seems to me that on a Bayesian approach, one can plug in any sort of observation we have and ask if it's more probable on theism than on atheism, and if it is, then it confirms theism. Computing the comparative probabilities of the fine-tuning of the universe for intelligent life would be a natural thing to do, given that we are intelligent, living beings.
Design from fine tuning – Life-permitting conditions create an independent pattern pointing to a Designer
Your question seems more pressing for an argument for intelligent design formulated along statistical lines such as William Dembski presents. According to this theory for detecting design, one looks for the conjunction of high improbability with an independently given pattern. For example, if you're playing poker and your opponent consistently deals himself the winning hand, you will suspect that he's cheating, not simply because of the high improbability of the sequence of cards he gets (any sequence is equally improbable!), but because that highly improbable sequence conforms to the independently given pattern of winning poker hands. As you say, "a royal flush has intrinsic value . . . because the rules of the game define a royal flush as having value before the hand is dealt." That same hand would be worthless were you playing some other game. But given that it is poker that you're playing, that pattern is significant.
As Dembski points out, however, the key factor here is not that the pattern is given in advance ("before the hand is dealt"), but that it is given independently of one's knowledge of the deal. The pattern doesn't need to be given chronologically prior to the deal, so long as it is specified independently of the deal. If we don't require independence, someone looking at the result of the deal can always concoct some game in which the hand dealt is a winner. Such a pattern is "cherry-picked," as they say, to fit the result and therefore is not significant.
Now in the case of intelligent life, the pattern of life-permitting conditions is given independently of and, indeed, long before, cosmologists' discovery of the fine-tuning of the initial conditions of the universe. So the fine-tuning seems to exhibit just that combination of enormous improbability and an independently given pattern that tips us off to design. Thus, in so far as fine-tuning is concerned, it is not the case that "the rules about royal flushes are being made up only after the hand has been dealt."
Design from fine tuning – Would any other patterns imply a Designer?
Now the question that you seem to raise is whether there are not other, independently given patterns which might be used to justify a design inference when applied to the initial conditions of the universe. The problem with your examples, however, is that these phenomena are not actually observed, and so there is nothing to be explained. What requires explanation is some actually given, independent pattern which is highly improbable. If it exists, Dembski would say that it does warrant a design inference.
Remember that a design inference does not inform us of the purpose for which the observed phenomenon exists. Dembski's design inference demands only an intelligence as an explanation of the phenomenon, but it doesn't presume to tell us the purpose that the intelligent designer had in mind in bringing about that phenomenon. So Dembski's design argument doesn't assert, for example, that the universe was made for the purpose of bringing about human beings. This fact is evident in that the existence of a lowly earthworm also requires an intelligent designer as its ultimate explanation, given its breath-taking improbability and its conformity to an independently given pattern, but we should not infer that the purpose for which the universe exists is therefore earthworms. The idea that the universe was designed for the purpose of man's existence is a theological claim, not a design inference. All the design argument asserts is that human life requires for its explanation an intelligent designer, whatever his purposes may have been, not that the universe was made for man.
Design from fine tuning – Intelligent life may be the subject of a "tidy explanation"
Still, one might wonder why we should focus on intelligent life as the pattern with which we're concerned. Why not the pattern required for the existence of, say, crystals? Here I think John Leslie's notion of a tidy explanation may be helpful. For Leslie, "tidy explanation" is a technical term: it is an explanation which, in explaining some phenomenon, reveals that there is something to be explained. Leslie gives a great many charming examples of tidy explanations. For instance, you are shopping in the bazaar, and the silk merchant is displaying for you a drape of silk. His thumb just happens to be covering the moth hole in the cloth. Now of course his thumb has to be somewhere, and any location on the drape is equally improbable; nevertheless—! That he is hoodwinking you provides a tidy explanation of why his thumb happens to be where it is. Or again, Bob, who was born on August 23, 1982, receives a car for his birthday from his wife with the license plate BOB 82382. That this plate number is the result of intelligent design is a tidy explanation of it. In light of the fact that it is Bob's birthday which is being celebrated, one is not being "Bob chauvinistic" in singling out his name and birth date as a significant pattern crying out for explanation. The presence of a tidy explanation of the initial conditions of the universe could similarly justify us in focusing on the conditions requisite for intelligent life as a phenomenon crying out for explanation.

Laws regarding the internet are poorly defined due to its relatively recent entrance into the world of crime and change rapidly as technology changes. Their definitions and implications are constantly evolving and are often debated, and legislation for many issues simply doesn't exist yet. If you've been charged with a serious Internet-related offense like child pornography, it's essential to obtain legal representation from a knowledgeable attorney who knows the latest internet pornography laws.
Pornography is the depiction of sexual acts or sexually explicit subject matter for the purpose of sexual arousal. It can exist in many forms including:
- Photographs
- Printed literature
- Film or animation
- Video games
In Florida, pornography is only deemed illegal when the subject matter includes sexual acts with minors (pedophilia) or animals (bestiality). It is illegal to possess, distribute or otherwise promote such content. Because the internet makes obtaining such pornography relatively easy, most illicit activities start online.
If you would like to discuss your case, call our West Palm Beach sex crime lawyers right away.

Family secrets can bring on heartache, but sometimes they actually bring relief and joy.
- Posted on Jan 17, 2014
Susan Page Davis is the author of Gone in a Flash, from Guideposts Books' Secrets of the Blue Hill Library series.
Family secrets can bring on worry and heartache. Take the Summers family, in my new book Gone in a Flash: Anne's discovery of an undeveloped roll of film uncovers a mystery about a cousin they all believed had been killed in action while serving in the Vietnam War; his appearance in an image taken six years later brings up questions that are not easily–or comfortably–answered.
But sometimes, when revealed, family secrets can actually bring relief and joy–or something as simple as a moment of release during a time of sorrow.
After my father's death, my three sisters, my brother and I gathered at his house. After the funeral, we set out to clean the house, top to bottom. We agonized together over not being able to find the key to his safe-deposit box. My brother took Dad's truck on a pizza run and returned with good news: He'd found the key... in the console of the truck. We all had a good laugh over that and wondered what else Dad had "hidden" from us. We each knew a few hiding places in the 150-year-old farmhouse, and we checked them all in turn.
As we were cleaning the kitchen, my sister Mim said, "Did you get Dad's stash from under the stove?"
I looked at her blankly and said, "What?"
Apparently she knew something I didn't, though I'd been staying with Dad a lot during his final year.
Dad's old kitchen range had a wood-burning firebox on the left and electric burners on the right. It sat a foot or more out from the wall, and a stovepipe went up from the firebox and out through the wall above.
Mim got a broom and squeezed in behind the stove. After some poking with the broom beneath the range, she stood up with a round cookie tin in her hand. "Tada!"
We opened it and found more than $300 in cash.
The five of us had a good laugh over that and congratulated Mim on her find. Apparently she was the only one Dad had confided to about this particular hiding place. You can be sure we did an extra-careful search as we cleaned the rest of the house.
It was a small thing, but this family secret helped us all linger over pleasant memories of our dad and his quirks.

Ten years of Obamacare would cost 1.76 trillon dollars - far more than originally claimed
Ethan A. Huff, staff writer
(NaturalNews) According to new spending projections issued by the Congressional Budget Office (CBO), the costs associated with implementing Obamacare over the next ten years are more than double what the Obama Administration claimed when first pushing for its passage. Through 2022, the gross spending requirements for the federal government to fully implement this progressive form of universal healthcare in the U.S. are an astounding $1.76 trillion dollars, also written as $1,760,000,000,000.
"The ACA's (Affordable Care Act) provisions related to insurance coverage are now projected to have a net cost of $1,252 billion over the 2012-2022 period," says the CBO report. "[T]hat amount represents a gross cost to the federal government of $1,762 billion, offset in part by $510 billion in receipts and other budgetary effects (primarily revenues from penalties and other sources)" (http://cbo.gov/publication/43080).
As can be expected, the economic implications of such a lofty hike in actual versus estimated costs are ominous. $1.76 trillion is nearly half of the entire 2011 federal budget (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2011_United_States_federal_budget), and more than 11 percent of the entire national debt (http://www.brillig.com/debt_clock/). If it fails to get repealed or declared unconstitutional by the U.S. Supreme Court, Obamacare will translate into an enormous financial burden of unprecedented proportions.
"Only next year will we get a true ten-year cost estimate, if the law isn't overturned by the Supreme Court or repealed by then," writes Philip Klein at the Washington Examiner. "Given that in 2022, the last year available, the gross cost of the coverage expansion are $265 billion, we're likely looking at about $2 trillion over the first decade, or more than double what Obama advertised" (http://campaign2012.washingtonexaminer.com).
Perhaps the worst part of it all is that the revised spending projections fail to specify how the money will be spent, or how it will even cover more underinsured or uninsured individuals. According to the Wall Street Journal (WSJ), the spending plan will only provide insurance coverage for a small percentage of those currently without insurance, which leaves one to wonder where all this money will be going (http://online.wsj.com/article/SB124536826475329427.html).
"The details haven't been made public, but the short version seems to be that President Obama's health boondoggle prescribes vast new spending without a coherent plan to pay for it even while failing to meet its own standards for social equity," says the WSJ. "The CBO score for a new entitlement is only the teaser rate, given that the costs will inevitably balloon as the years pass and more people mob 'free' or subsidized insurance."

We all did it as kids, whether we admitted or not, but we stopped after constant reminders from our parents that picking our nose was impolite and gross. Now, a Canadian biochemistry professor is giving us the green light to "dig for gold."
According to Huffington Post, Scott Napper of the University of Saskatchewan says that the mucus in our nose is designed to catch and trap germs before they get into our body, and he thinks that digesting the mucus could help teach our immune system to fight those germs.
He is looking to conduct a study to expose a group of participants to a molecule and then have half the group dig into their noses and swallow what they come up with. The study would then monitor the body's reaction to the molecule.
Listen to this crazy story and what else we dug up on the web from around the world in this morning's 50 Shades of Cray:

TAYLORSVILLE — The Fremont Silver Wolves hadn't played in 10 days, and head coach Lisa Dalebout thought her team let it show.
Fortunately they found a little life at halftime.
After holding a nine-point lead at the midpoint, the Silver Wolves stormed out of the locker room and eventually posted a 65-51 win over the Brighton Bengals in the first round of the 5A state tournament on Monday afternoon.
"We had a week off and I was worried about how it would affect us," Dalebout said. "I thought (we) looked flat in the first half and (Brighton) dictated how we played."
A halftime chat did the trick.
"In the second half, we just executed and played better on defense," Dalebout said. "Mostly, we executed lots better in transition. That was the main difference."
Fremont seniors Kelsie Bell and Haley Sturdevant sparked a 10-3 run midway through the third quarter, gaining a 40-27 lead, which was a gap the Bengals could never recover from.
"(Sturdevant) did a really great job, she's a great rebounder at the guard position," Dalebout said of the 5-foot-8 guard who finished with 15 points.
Bell added a team-high 19 points, and the seniors combined to shoot 8-for-13 from the foul line at a crucial point late in the game.
The Silver Wolves scored all but six of their 23 fourth quarter points from the foul line to stave off Brighton's attempt at a rally.
Mikkell Minnock scored six of her eight points in the fourth quarter, and all of those were from the foul line, while Whitney Wallace, who finished with 12 points, was a perfect 4-for-4 in the final period to stave off Brighton.
"There was a little anxiety and nerves to start, but I thought we played through that really well," Dalebout added.
Senior guard Shelbi Everett led the Bengals, who finished third in a tough Region 4. She totaled 21 points, hitting two 3-pointers and going 5-for-7 from the foul line. Mikayla Mosely also reached double digits with 11 points.
Up next for Fremont is a matchup with Region 1 foe Viewmont. The Silver Wolves have already beat Viewmont twice this season, but the Vikings have upsets on their mind after surprising Skyline in their own tournament opener.
That game will tip off at 4 p.m. on Wednesday at Salt Lake Community College.

Four barrels containing 248 fetuses were discovered on Sunday in Russia's Ural Mountains, Reuters reported.
A local man who went fishing was the unlucky first to discover the disturbing cache.
"A friend called at night and said he went fishing and wanted to get some wood for his fire. He ran into some water canisters and wanted to take them home, but when he came closer he saw little baby bodies," Sergei Tveritinov told state television," Reuters reported.
Police immediately launched an investigation, and the remains appear to have come from nearby hospitals in Yekaterinburg, the capital of Sverdlovsk region, according to the Chicago Tribune.
"It seems the company responsible for disposal of the bio-medical waste did not carry out its duties," the deputy head of the regional government, Vladimir Vlasov, said, according to the Chicago Tribune.
The AP has said the fetuses, "preserved in formaldehyde, were kept in barrels with tags containing surnames and numbers."
That, perhaps, is the most unsettling and gag-inducing detail about this story. Photographs from the crime scene show fetuses numbered and tagged with family names.

FYI, I'm a total n00b when it comes to SilverStripe so I'm not sure if anything I'm doing is right...
My task: Add a small signup form to the footer of our entire website.
What I'v done: I started off by creating a new 'User Defined Form' page to create the form. Then I copied the code for this form and placed it into my Footer.ss file. After tweaking the CSS I got everything to look right and the form does function including some validation. The problem is that the user doesn't get any kind of feedback to let them know if their entry is valid. If you put something that is not valid and click 'Submit' the page just refreshes. I would like the input box to show a red border when an invalid entry is detected.
This is the page for the actual form: http://gg2staging.ggiagency.com/updates-signup and you can see the form I've added into the footer.
So... what did I do wrong? Or what am I missing to make this work the way I want?

My problem is…. I'm a really nice guy. Really, I'm reasonably nice, just ask anyone who knows me….
Actually it's more I'm not as smart as I'd like to think I am. You see, often I don't do people any favours by trying at all costs to be, Mr Nice Guy. Even if it's at the expense of helping them grow. The interesting thing is that I usually get what I give, and that is, people are generally very nice to me. Even if what I need on occassions, is some home truths to help me grow.
What I really need is tough love.
Turns out my team also need some tough love too.
Tough Love – Startup blog definition:
Having a team let each other know 'in no uncertain terms' when members are goofing off, at the expense of agreed upon and shared objectives.
It doesn't mean we turn into nightmare colleagues or the boss we always hated.
It means that we have a culture where we don't want to let each other down, but we pull each other up in tough times and provide mutual motivation. We give each other guidance when we need it.

HOLIDAY — A Pasco retiree accused of sexually abusing a young girl for years was arrested Tuesday.
The girl, now 9, told deputies that Richard Williams, 67, had sexually assaulted her since she was 5, sometimes showing her pornographic videos of a teenage girl and an old man, according to a Pasco County Sheriff's Office report.
He told her not to tell anyone about the abuse, or she would be in trouble and he would go to jail, the report said.
The girl's name and relationship to Williams were withheld due to the nature of the allegations.
Williams was charged with capital sexual battery of a victim younger than 12 and booked into the Land O'Lakes Jail. He is held without bail.

Winter Golf Tips
Posted on Nov 13 2012 at 03:45:20 PM in Sports & Recreation
Some golfers tend not to play too much golf during the winter months because of the cold and wet conditions, personally I like to play and practice as much as I can during these short days and dodgy weather conditions.
If you want to continue playing during winter then there are some slight alterations you can make to your golf game to get the best from these tough conditions, below you can find my tips for playing golf during these difficult conditions.
Tip1: Driving.
The first thing to understand about driving the golf ball in soft conditions is that you will not get much run on the ball when it lands, thus making sure you have a driver that gives you maximum carry is essential to your distance.
Having two drivers is one option I have used for a while now, one with 12 degrees loft for winter and the other one has 9.5 degrees for summer conditions.
The other alternative is to use your 3 wood for all your tee shots, the 3 wood will give you maximum carry and also give you added accuracy on the golf course. Although you will loose some distance of the tee it will not effect your score that much, as most par fives and long par fours are not reachable for your average golfer in winter anyway.
Tip 2: Iron play.
Iron play during winter golf can be tricky for most golfers, there a few things to consider which can help you make much better contact on the ball during difficult conditions. The main tip for iron play is to try and keep your weight during the swing on your left side slightly, (right side for left handed players) this will give you a much steeper attack on the ball giving you the best chance of making contact with the ball first.
Some golf courses make us play of fairway mats during winter golf, the one thing to remember about playing of fairway mats is to make sure you grip down the club slightly to compensate for the ball being slightly higher of the ground.
You will find out how much to grip down the club through trial and error when playing, you should also consider that from 100 yards and in when playng of a mat you will generate much more back spin on the ball.
Tip 3: Chipping.
During winter golf chipping can be the hardest skill to get right, with very soft lies and muddy conditions making good contact with the ball can be difficult.
Again keeping your weight mainly on your front foot can really help when playing these difficult shots, bounce on the bottom of the club can also make a big difference to the strike on the ball, I never use less than 10 degrees of bounce when playing chip shots around the green in winter.
Explaining how the bounce works is simple, it actually helps the club slide through the thick wet grass when playing chip shots around the green. The last thing you need when playing these shots is a club with a sharp leading edge digging into the turf, so make sure you use a wedge with a minimum of 10 degrees of bounce for all your greenside shots.
Tip 4: Putting.
The main thing to understand is you should not make any changes to your putting stroke whenplaying winter golf, changing your stroke can have dire effects when returning to summer golf on fast greens.
The one thing I can suggest is to look at buying a heavier type putter for winter, the design of the mallet putter can be very beneficial when playing on slow bumpy greens.
I use a scotty cameron blade putter in summer for feel and touch on slick greens, and in winter when I need to get the ball to the hole on slow greens i use an odyssee mallet which allows me to use the same putting stroke.
Tip 5: Clothing.
Golf clothing manufactures have put a lot of effort into reseach and design of there clothing ranges in the past couple of years, gone are the days of wearing thich heavy jumpers and jackets to keep you warm and severly restricting your swing.
The modern design of golf clothing these days consisit of base layers, waterproof lightweight trousers, and lightweight waterproof jackets, I have used one of these base layers for a couple of years now and found it extremly comfortable and excellent at keeping me warm during those cold days.
The two companies that spring to mind when talking about golf clothing are calvin green and proquip, there are other manufactures out there that produce this sort of clothing. But for me these are the two I put my faith in when looking for winter golf clothing, the cost of these items can be expensive and calvin green are one of the most expensive brands out there.
Having said that calvin green do produce highly fashionable performance driven golf clothing that can really help your golf in winter and summer, if you can afford it then this is the brand i would look at for winter clothing but if you are on a budget then proquip do produce some great winter clothes at affordable prices.

After months apart, Baby Easton reunites with family in Syracuse
Sat, 24 Nov 2012 04:11:30 GMT —
As the plane's wheels touch down to earth at Hancock Airport, Easton Friedel's family watches through a glass window, pointing and smiling, as the baby they saw come into the world just a few months ago, is finally back home.
After the plane comes to a halt, Easton's family runs out, including his three older brothers (all under the age of 8), and hugs, smiles and tears greet the baby and his mother. The three boys, filled with curiosity, stare at the youngest member of the clan in awe.
"Baby Easton!", Blake Friedel, who at three years old and former youngest, says. Blake then presses his face to Easton's stomach, a moment of brotherly bonding at the youngest age, but possibly the most mature meaning. For Danielle Friedel, these interactions between her four boys and having her family together brings tears to her eyes.
"It feels really good," she says. "Especially to see the boys right when I got off the plane."
It had been a month since she had seen all of her boys, so, while she soaked up their love, her husband Jared took his turn to look at Easton. With the blisters covering his face, Easton still acts like a three month old, squinting and squirming around as his family lovingly looks on.
After he was born in August, Baby Easton was diagnosed with a painful and incurable skin condition called epidermolysis bullosa, or EB. Shortly after he was born, he was sent to Cincinnati Children's Hospital, where Easton and his mother Danielle have spent the past three months.
Since that time, through mediums like Facebook, hundreds of thousands of people have followed Easton's story, many donating things like time, prayers, clothes and money. Danielle says that support has made a big difference.
"I don't know how we'd do it without everyone," she says."It's just, they've made it so much easier knowing that the kids are getting taken care of at home and that his room is taken care of when we get home, everything that we wouldn't be able to do if it weren't for everyone that's been helping us."
Easton's home in Weedsport has also been revamped, to better ensure his safety in the transition from Cincinnati to Weedsport. Easton will spend a majority of his time in Weedsport, having daily nursing care at his home, but will have to return to Cincinnati every three months for the first year, and then if all goes well, he will have to return to Cincinnati every six months. At this point, Easton's family says he is growing and gaining weight.
With Easton's health in mind, Danielle says she's hoping the support continues, not only for her own child but for any child struggling with sickness. As for Easton's brothers, they get quiet when asked about everything that has happened since their new little brother came into the world. When Logan Friedel, at seven years old and the oldest, gets his turn to answer, he pauses and says, "Thank you."

County relents, lets couple set home on old foundation despite tight setback
By LE ROY STANDISH
After a January fire destroyed Marty and Tammara Stafford's double-wide modular trailer in the 900 block of 20 Road, Mesa County wasn't going to let them move back home.
The county's Planning and Economic Development Department, citing county code that calls for a home to be a minimum of 50 feet from a neighboring property line, would not let the Staffords place their new home on their old foundation. The old foundation is seven feet from the fence line.
But after a July 11 Daily Sentinel article detailing the Stafford's plight, the county backed down, according to the Staffords.
Today, the Staffords will place their new home exactly where the old one was for 18 years.
"We beat 'em," said Marty Stafford.
Tammara Stafford said she got a phone call from Commissioner Craig Meis one day after the article appeared in The Daily Sentinel.
"He said, 'Put your house there,' " Tammara said, adding the commissioner called the county's previous stance on the issue ridiculous.
The Staffords said they had been working with Code Enforcement to clean their property and with county planning to make sure they had all proper approvals for months. But no county official told them their new home could not be placed on the old foundation until a day before the home arrived, they said.
Jessica Peterson, spokeswoman for the county, said the Code Enforcement case against the Staffords, for junk and junk cars, was started in June 2008, and the Planning Department does not review development applications or site plans for properties that are under Code Enforcement action. The Staffords cleared their case with Code Enforcement in early July, Peterson said.
"That's when the setback was discovered," she said.
The Staffords' old home had been standing since 1991 before the fire destroyed the structure.
The county held the line with the Staffords even though the Mesa County Commission was planning to modify the distance requirement, possibly later this year, to something less than 50 feet, Ross said.
"They kind of killed us, waiting until the last minute (to tell them of the code), and then they said they were going to change the code, but it will be too late for you," Marty Stafford said. "It's ridiculous."
The code says when 50 percent or more of a building is replaced, it must meet current code, including setbacks.
However, County Administrator Jon Peacock said the Staffords were exempt because the concrete foundation and the anticipated cost of providing utility and septic service to the manufactured home in a new location amounted to more than 50 percent of its structural value.

I'll tell you a secret: I'm writing this on my laptop underneath the library steps, because my favorite upskirts are the live ones I can see right now – being surrounded by living, in motion, upskirts gives me the inspiration and motivation I need to write about photos of famous panties – and here comes some pics of celeb under-garments with these pics of Demi Lovato's 19-year old pantied pubic area.
It seems our audience consists of all girls Lovato's age who grew up watching Disney tv teen shows, young men who did the same, and dirty-old-men-like-me who like lithe pop singers/actresses, because every Demi post I do is mad popular. Thinking about this unacknowledged fanbase of hers saddens me since she turned down a proposal we made to to her: around the same time Pornhub asked Miley Cyrus to come work with us, Pornhub also offered Demi Lovato $100,000 to make a girl/girl scene to follow up her leaked party pics of Lovato kissing a gal pal.
It's never too late Demi, find Katie the Pornhub Chick on Twitter and lets make this happen.

Jay-Z, Kanye West Inspire Subway Rapper in Viral Video
From somersaulting breakdancers to mariachi bands, New York City subways are home to some incredible performers. And then there's the guy in the viral video below. An enthusiastic fan of Jay-Z and Kanye West's 'Watch the Throne' single 'N—-s in Paris,' the spastic MTA rider raps along as he listens on his iPod, barking out the lyrics as he pumps his legs and arms.
"Kanye about to rip here — here we go, here we go," the dude exclaims just before Yeezy's turn on the second verse.
When the song finishes, the overzealous fan wipes sweat form his brow and catches his breath. He then seemingly realizes someone has been shooting him with a cell phone camera and asks something along the lines of, "Are they recording?"
Speaking of recording, Jay and Kanye may soon give the subway MC some new music to vibe on. Hova has talked recently about the possibility of making a second 'Watch the Throne' album, though at the moment, he's probably more focused on the two charity concerts he'll stage in February at Carnegie Hall.
Marking a partnership between the rapper's own Shawn Carter Scholarship Foundation and the United Way, the pair of shows will raise money for the New York City public schools.
"The opportunity just presented itself and it was just perfect," Jay told The BoomBox earlier this month. "Getting to play a legendary venue, getting to do it for a good cause, getting to do it with someone who has been doing good for so long. Now my scholarship will have conversations with the United Way about furthering our cause and it all just worked on multiple levels."
While Jay says Kanye won't be a part of those shows, the Chi-town rhymer will undoubtedly find some way to keep himself busy. Recently, 20-year-old Harlem rapper Azealia Banks tweeted about 'Ye, inviting speculation the two are collaborating.
"On my way to meet Kanye West for the first time and almost forgot to shave my mustache !!!!! O_o" Banks tweeted.

With a key San Fernando Valley Assembly race still too close to call, Republicans celebrated the narrow margin on Wednesday, as Democrats questioned their party's low election turnout.
More than 2,800 votes remain to be counted in the 45th Assembly District race following Tuesday's election. Democrat Matt Dababneh leads his Republican opponent Susan Shelley by a mere 171 votes.
The thin gap surprised many in this district, where voters skew Democrat by a nearly 2-to-1 margin over Republicans.
Reached Wednesday afternoon, Shelley, 54, said her anti-tax increase campaign message resonated with voters, as did an endorsement from the Howard Jarvis Taxpayers Association.
"We demonstrated that Republican candidates can have success in this area," said Shelley, who raised just $60,000 in the race. "So many people had written Republicans off."
Dababneh, 32, a top congressional deputy who raised a half million dollars, had been expected to easily beat his Republican challenger. The 45th District, which includes the northwest San Fernando Valley and a sliver of Ventura County, has long been considered a safe seat for Democrats. In 2012, former Assemblyman and Democrat Bob Blumenfield won the area by 26 percentage points.
Parke Skelton, Dababneh's political consultant, blamed low turnout, saying Republican voters historically come out in higher numbers, and Tuesday's election was no different.
The campaign knew Shelley was a threat, Shelton said. Dababneh's campaign sent out mailers calling Dababneh's opponent a Tea Party Republican — a label she rejects.
"We wanted to let Democrats know that if they don't vote, this Tea Party candidate could win," Skelton said. "We weren't crying wolf."
Nearly 26,500 votes in Los Angeles and Ventura County have been tallied so far, officials said Wednesday. Turnout was about 10 percent of the district's registered voters.
The tight race appeared to reflect the political diversity of this district, an area where gun rights and immigration laws divide residents. Strong Republican turnout in the September primary put Shelley in a runoff with Dababneh, who came in first in that race.
With a Democratic Assembly "supermajority" hanging in the balance, the race has drawn statewide attention. Former Lt. Governor and Republican state gubernatorial candidate Abel Maldonado praised Shelley in a Twitter message on Wednesday, writing: "Very proud of Republican @Susan Shelley for her incredibly strong showing in #AD45 last night."
Still, some Republicans questioned why conservative groups failed to fund Shelley's campaign. A pro-Shelley PAC could have flooded the district with mailers, and potentially closed the door for the conservative candidate.
Outside groups spent more than $100,000 promoting Dababneh.
Gary Aminoff, a Valley-based Republican Party leader, expressed disappointment that the state GOP didn't get involved. "The fact of the matter is they looked at the numbers and thought she didn't have a chance," Aminoff said.
Messages left for state GOP representatives weren't returned Wednesday.

Classic Bob in Brown
The essential short bob with its captivating flavor of the 1920 is still going strong. No other style incorporates this much flair, elegance and also attitude in its strands. Perfect for every occasion and outfit, it truly is a dream hairstyle.
This version replaces the sharp edges of its historic predecessors with soft lines and a lightly rounded fringe as well as shallow beveling of the cutting line. The dark chocolate brown makes her skin look like ivory and using a similar tone of eye shadow brings beautiful harmony to the entire look.
