Stefan Matteau Ineligible For World Men's Under 18 Championship
The International Ice Hockey Federation ruled Thursday that Chicago native Stefan Matteau is ineligible to participate for U.S. at the upcoming World Men's Under-18 Championship.
Matteau, who is regarded as one of the top North American skaters eligible for the 2012 NHL Draft, is the son of former NHL player Stephane Matteau. According to Kevin Allen of USA Today, the ruling is based on the fact Matteau hasn't played two consecutive seasons in the U.S. after the age of 10.
Allen explains that although Matteau spent his first nine years in the U.S., he was living in Canada when he joined the U.S. program in March 2010. However, he didn't play a game for the team until September in that year.
"It's mind-boggling," Matteau's agent, Pat Brisson, told Allen. "This has never happened before. I want to dig a little bit deeper. Why take this opportunity from this kid who was born in the U.S. and has been part of the U.S. program for a year and a half? I feel bad for Stefan."
The 6-foot-1.5, 210-pound center was one of four players from the USNTDP to be ranked among the top 30 North American skaters eligible for the 2012 Draft in June by NHL Central Scouting at its mid-term rankings in January.
"I'm a big-bodied power forward, have a lot of skill and a good shot and I play with an edge," Matteau told NHL.com. "Some teams like that, and I like to bring an all-round solid game."
Matteau has 15 goals, 32 points and 166 penalty minutes in 46 games with the NTDP Under-18 team this season. He'll play for the Blainville-Boisbriand Armada of the Quebec Major Junior Hockey League next season.

Sunday, the slightly less leftist Social Democrats wrenched control of the Iberian nation's government from the ruling party. Caretaker Prime Minister José Sócrates conceded defeat Sunday in Portugal's legislative elections and said he was resigning as Socialist Party leader. Observers attribute the "emphatic" victory of the Social Democrats over the Socialists to the electorate's recognition (and reluctant acceptance) of the "grinding austerity program" mandated as part of the $114 billion bailout of that nation's economy.
Though the requirement that the government tighten its belt will not be easy for a country whose citizens are addicted to legislative largesse, the belief that imposition of the fiscal proscriptions will improve the long-term prognosis for "one of western Europe's poorest countries" was enough to propel the coterie of pro-austerity Portuguese political parties to victory, garnering about 80 percent of the vote.
Published election results reveal that the Social Democratic Party saw 105 of its members elected to the 230-seat Parliament. The Socialist Party placed with 73 seats. That works out to about 39 percent of the vote for the Social Democrats and 28 percent for the now-deposed Socialists.
Although hamstrung by a mere plurality, the Social Democratic Party will likely receive support for its economic policies from the Popular Party, a small group that won 24 seats in Sunday's election.
The parliamentary partnership is described by the AP:
Together, the traditional allies have more than half the places in the new Parliament, allowing them a majority that provides a free run to introduce the laws and measures they want, though some measures may require constitutional changes that would take an extended period to adopt.
In light of the resignation of the Socialists' leader, José Sócrates, the head of the Social Democrats, Pedro Passos Coelho, is expected to step into that role. Coehlo told the Associated Press that his government "will do everything in its power to overcome the great difficulties we face and also provide assurances that [Portugal] won't be a financial burden" on the already overburdened continent. He assured the throng of supporters gathered in Lisbon to celebrate the victory that he and his colleagues would work tirelessly to improve Portugal's economic health, "restore market confidence," and open a "window of hope" for his nation.
There is little doubt that the other 16 countries in the so-called "euro zone" are relieved to hear such optimistic talk from Lisbon's newly elected leadership. The bloc is slouching toward the economic abyss as one after the other participant nation files for relief from the stultifying effects of decades of socialist, statist welfare programs.
Passos Coelho, the son of a doctor raised in the former Portuguese colony of Angola, is expected to serve as Prime Minister for four years. Prior to occupying that post, he has declared his intent to form a formidable coalition government, composed of parties committed to rescuing Portugal from crumbling under the weight of years of fiscal malfeasance.
Given the hypothesis forwarded by European media that the necessity of instituting the "austerity measures" demanded by the IMF and Europe in the terms of its propping up of the nation, it is remarkable that the ousted Socialists have "given their blessing to the debt-reduction conditions for receiving the bailout." Perhaps this is a death-bed conversion to cost-cutting, but it seems that there are are likely other factors in the electoral equation that are as yet unknown or unreported.
As for the specific plan proposed by the Social Democrats, they intend to introduce 200 measures designed to stave off bankruptcy. These proposals include the intent to increase taxes, cut welfare payments, and remove the nearly impenetrable barriers protecting government workers that are common to other nations (Greece and Ireland) that have sought salvation from their euro-zone companions. This includes the ability to hire and fire government and union workers and decrease the collective bargaining power wielded by these powerful groups.
In what could be viewed as a cautionary tale for the United States where the Federal Reserve has created a sort of "euro zone" out of the 50 sovereign states, Coelho and his partisans will be hard pressed to breathe life into a country that has pursued a collective lifestyle of largesse and borrowing that has resulted in its need for intensive care.
Evidence of the economic distress includes an unemployment rate of 12.6 percent. Furthermore, the gross domestic product is predicted to shrink by at least four percent over the next two years.
As for its European creditors, they insist that if presented with any credible evidence that Portugal is violating the terms of the bailout agreement, they will not hesitate to deem the contract void and rescind their financing.
According to the terms of the agreement, Portugal committed to enacting the following programs:
1. a cut in the public sector wage bill by freezing wages and limiting job promotion
2. an increase in sales tax on items such as cars and tobacco
3. the privatization of stakes in national energy companies and the sale of national airline TAP Air Portugal
4. the reduction of the most generous state pensions and the freezing of others
5. a cut in the maximum length unemployment benefit can be paid to 18 months, from three years.
Not surprisingly, there is one political party that adamantly opposes the accession to these terms. The Portuguese Communist Party has "fought against the bailout demands but could potentially support the Socialists in Parliament against a right-of-center coalition."
The contradictions and shifting alliances among these parties reveal that the bailout has less to do with partisan politics than with a programmed placement of an economic noose around the necks of all nations. The hand on the lever of this gallows is not socialist, communist, or conservative, but collectivist and globalist.
The AP reports that:
The Bank of Portugal has predicted that economic hardship will be "particularly severe" in coming years, with an "unprecedented" drop in family income.
Over the past decade Portugal recorded average annual growth below 1 percent. It took advantage of cheap loans as a member of the 17-nation eurozone to build up debt, which financed its western European lifestyle of welfare entitlements and job security.
While one by one the welfare states of Europe are forced to their knees to beg for relief from international bankers, there seems to be very little heed paid by Americans or their elected representatives to the steps being taken by our own Republic down the same path of economic servitude.

SBR Signs Luff For Endurance Drives
Back-to-back champions Stone Brothers Racing have wasted no time in getting its attack together for next year's V8 Supercar championship series.
SBR announced today that it has signed 2004 Rookie of the Year Warren Luff as a co-driver for either Marcos Ambrose or Russell Ingall for next year's Betta Electrical Sandown 500 in Melbourne and the Bathurst 1000 at Mt Panorama.
After a successful season with Dick Johnson Racing, Luff will drive for Decina Racing in next year's V8 Supercar Development Series under the watchful eye of team manager Paul Cruickshank before teaming up with SBR for the enduros.
The Development Series, formerly known as the Konica-Minolta championship, will consist of seven rounds, four of which will be on the same program as the V8 Supercars.
"Warren showed a lot of maturity in so many areas this season and when we knew he was on the market we were very keen to talk with him," said Stone.
"He showed consistent speed in the DJR car this year and really earned his Rookie of the Year award.
"We are looking forward to watching Warren develop with Paul Cruickshank at Decina Racing next season and then having him on board at SBR for Sandown and Bathurst.
"It is becoming more and more important to get your endurance drivers together early and hopefully we can be in a position to announce our fourth and final driver in the next few weeks."
Luff was obviously delighted to be offered a fantastic opportunity at this stage of his career.
"There is no doubt that SBR is the new benchmark in V8 Supercar racing and I am thrilled to be in a position to develop a relationship with Ross and Jimmy Stone and everyone at Stone Brothers Racing," said Luff.
"You do not finish 1-2 in this championship unless you are focused on the job and the SBR operation is as professional as they come.
"I am looking forward to my season with Decina Racing and Paul Cruickshank's operation and then stepping up for the endurance events with SBR.
"Whether I am driving with Marcos (Ambrose) or Russell (Ingall) I know I am going to be with one of the two best drivers in the country and that's not a bad situation to be in."
Both SBR and Decina Racing will make their 2005 debuts at the Clipsal 500 in Adelaide, March 17-20.

Chiefs chalk up two more wins, beating Riverside and GreybullFeb 11, 2014 By Randy Tucker, Sports Writer
ETHETE -- In what could be a preview of the Class 2-A West boys regional championship game in three weeks, Wyoming Indian outlasted Greybull 56-51 at home. Saturday's game was the closest of the season for the Chiefs on on their home floor this season.
On Friday the Chiefs discombobulated the winless Riverside Rebels 80-32.
"We'll definitely see them again (Greybull)," Wyoming Indian head coach Craig Ferris said. "They're well disciplined and well coached."
Wyoming Indian senior Joseph Howell came to play at key junctures of the game, and the Chiefs rallied in the final period after missing many close range shots earlier in the game.
The Chiefs suffered an unusual 21 turnovers as well.
Wyoming Indian jumped ahead 7-2 on a Buell Robinson 3-pointer and a pair of Howell baskets, but Greybull sophomore post Treston Tracy hit a follow shot, the first of his 20 points on the night, and kept the Buffs close.
The Chiefs went inside on the next two possessions to Howell and Trevor Williamson and led 13-4 briefly.
Wyoming Indian took momentum into the second period after Robinson hit a driving layup at the buzzer to give the Chiefs a seven-point lead after one quarter.
The second period featured a battle between Howell and Tracy in the post.
The Chiefs couldn't shake the Buffs, as Greybull closed to two points twice.
The second period ended like the first, with Williamson driving to the basket at the buzzer this time to build another seven-point Wyoming Indian advantage.
Kason Clutter hit the first two baskets of the second half for Greybull, but Robinson stopped the short rally with a 3-pointer.
Paul Stewart and Tracy hit back-to-back baskets from the post, and the lead was just two again.
Robert Aragon stepped on the floor for the first time in the contest, took a pass at the high post, and hit a turnaround just two seconds after entering the game.
Wyoming Indian had the chance to blow open the game, but shots rolled off, glanced or caromed wide for the next three minutes against Greybull's 1-3-1 zone defense.
"We hit some jumpers and then quit looking to shoot," Ferris said.
Tracy hit a 3-pointer from the top of the key at the buzzer to knot the game at 38.
A coast-to-coast drive by Wilson Clifford regained the lead for Wyoming Indian, but a Calder Forcella trey gave Greybull its only lead of the game at 41-40.
The lead change led to a change in the Chiefs' offense as well. Wyoming Indian raced on a 10-0 run to build at comfortable margin largely on the play of Jared Mosqueda, who hit back-to-back layups, with Robinson and Howell hitting follow shots in a four-minute rally.
With three minutes remaining, Ferris slowed the ball down and spread the floor. Howell hit three layups off quick cuts down the lane, and the Chiefs held on for the win.
"Everybody likes to win by 40, but by regional tournament it tightens up," Ferris said.
Wyoming Indian hosts Kemmerer on Friday, then entertains Big Piney on Saturday for the Southwest 2-A lead.

We could not find the 'Horizontal chimney' so we started with the powerful lie back moves directly below the corner.
The Horizontal chimney is right of lunch box rock. Scramble up right into some bushes, then you can see it.
From the start of Crepes, you can also do Fluted Crust/Knob Hill. Lead up and left into chimney, set belay at top, then top out by slinging knobs on 2nd pitch - fun!

started far to the right, first pitch was a interesting 4th class thing behind a flake climbing to the left. after that the climbing was fantastic.
The last few moves before you're pushed out onto the face are the hardest part (5.8 ish). If you're tall enough you can grab the left wall and make it a bit easier.

CONCORD – Americans for Prosperity – New Hampshire (AFP-NH) today said that the New Hampshire House should vote against the potential new raid of the state Highway Fund after sponsors of a new 23% increase in the gas and diesel tax promised to protect the fund from having more revenues siphoned away. Senate Bill 389 would allow Fish and Game officers to enforce motor vehicle laws – and then allow the agency to seek Highway Fund dollars for doing this work. The bill was not referred to Finance, Ways and Means or Public Works and Highways, meaning that none of the House committees that manage the Highway Fund will get an opportunity to review the legislation.
"On one hand, we have a House that passed a 23% increase in the gas and diesel tax because they said we need to shore up the Highway Fund, but at the same time, the House is poised to pass a bill that will allow one more agency to siphon funds from the Highway Fund," said Greg Moore, AFP-NH State Director. "It's clear that the taxpayers of New Hampshire have been given a bait and switch and are seeing before them exactly how the gas tax hike is simply being used to grow government across the board. The fact that this legislation was not sent to any committee that might consider how this would impact highway revenues or expenses shows that the skids have been greased to pass this back door raid on getting dollars to improve our roadways."
AFP-NH has consistently called for all of the Highway Fund dollars to be used for bridges and road maintenance and upgrades. In the current budget, only 66% of Highway Fund dollars are used for these purposes.
"The crisis of our roadways is an entirely manufactured problem by the legislature diverting funds away from the purpose that the drivers of the state expect their tax dollars to be used for when they fill up their tanks," added Moore. "Most New Hampshire motorists are outraged when they learn that only 12 of the 18 cent per gallon of the current gas tax are being used for ensuring that the roads we drive on are safe. Now, we have a legislature that is planning on giving one more agency an opportunity to take more of those funds. The public has a right to expect more honesty from our government, and this is just one more example of how that trust is eroded."

Apple Spiced Sour Cream Coffee Cake for R'ock-tober #baketogether
October 21, 2011
I am so excited to be participating in my very first "Baketogether" with Abby Dodge for the very fun month of October. We are taking her classic coffee cake recipe and changing it up. I can't wait to see all the variations that will be posted up with links in the comments section of her blog. I have chosen to go with the season and used grated apples and boiled cider syrup to change mine up a bit. It came out so moist and delectable. As soon as I knew I had a good photograph, I completely lost control and scoffed it before I could even post this up. As I sit here with my full belly, I still wish I could have enjoyed a piece with my lovely virtual friends today. I dare not eat another slice when my family comes home!
Apple Spiced Sour Cream Coffee Cake
For the Streusel:
1/4 cup Almond Flour
1/2 cup all purpose Flour
1/2 Brown Sugar
1 Tsp Ground Cinnamon
4 Tbsp unsalted butter, melted and cooled
For the Cake:
2 cups all purpose Flour
1 1/4 tsp Baking Soda
1 tsp Cinnamon
1/2 tsp fresh ground nutmeg
1/2 tsp salt
Pinch of Ground Cloves
8 Tbsp (stick) unsalted butter, softened
1 Cup White Granulated Sugar
6 Oz Grated Apple (I used 1 large Honey Crisp)
1 Vanilla Bean, Scraped
1/8 cup Boiled Cider Syrup
2 Large Eggs
1 cup Sour cream, room temp
To make the streusel:
Combine the brown sugar, almond flour, all purpose flour and cinnamon. Drizzle the melted butter over this and use your fingers to mix forming small tender crumbs. Set aside.
For the Cake:
Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Lightly grease and flour a 9 X 2 inch square pan.
In a medium bowl, combine the dry ingredients: Flour, baking soda, cinnamon, nutmeg, salt and cloves. Whisk until well blended. I used my kitchenaid with paddle attachment to blend the wet ingredients. Add the butter to your mixing bowl and blend until white and fluffy. Add sugar, vanilla bean paste and cider syrup and mix again about 3 minutes. Add the eggs, one a a time, beating well after each addition. Add about half of the flour mixture and mix on low speed until blended. Add the balance of the flour with the sour cream and grated apples and mix gently until blended.
Scrape half of the batter into the prepared baking dish. Spread half of the streusel mixture over the top. Add the balance of the batter and add the balance of the streusel topping.
Bake until the top is brown and a toothpick inserted comes out clean. I baked mine for 45 minutes. Cool on wire rack and Enjoy!!

Kovno (Mar. 12)
The talk which Mr. Landau, the head of the Jewish Telegraphic Agency, and Mr. Smolar have had here with the Minister of the Interior is unquestionably of immense importance, Mr. R. tein, the editor-in-chief of the Jewish daily, the "Yiddishe Stimme" here, writes in an editorial article. It has cleared up many vital aspects of the complicated question of labour permits, he proceeds. It has dispelled the heavy cloud which has been hanging over the heads of thousands of Jews ### A few days ago, we quoted from an article which had appeared in the "Sidas", the official Government organ, on the need of enforcing labour permits for aliens, and we showed how the official paper passed over in complete silence that question which has been causing us so much disquiet and anxiety, what is going to happen to those aliens who have no citizenship at all, the so-called Staatenlose, who have lived in Lithuania for years, and who, like other aliens, are affected by the police notification that from January 1st., 1932, aliens are not to be allowed to be employed in Lithuania.
We have no idea why it was, but it so happened that up to now we could get no clear answer to this question from official quarters. They put us off with indefinite statements committing them to nothing at all. They assured us that things were not as b we imagined, and that it would turn out to be all right. This indefiniteness and ambiguity only added to the disquiet and fear among the Jewish families affected. And meanwhile the police got on with their job of collecting signatures from the Staatenlose, pledging themselves not to attempt to earn their, living after January 1932.
It is only now that we hear the Minister of the Interior declare clearly and officially that the edict will not affect those aliens who have lived permanently in Lithuania and have been in employment here up to July 28th., 1929. These aliens will continue to receive labour permits. That is a tremendously important statement. It puts an end to all misunderstandings and fears.
The second important point in the statement made by the Minister of the Interior to Mr. Landau and Mr. Smolar concerns the naturalisation of non-Lithuanian citizens, Mr. Rubinstein goes on. The citizenship Bill is still wrapped in the obscurity of the Government offices. From time to time brief reports found their way into the papers about the basic ideas and intentions of the Bill, but the main question was not cleared up – how was the granting of naturalisation to be effected? Would there still be difficulties in the way of obtaining citizenship, or would certain facilities be accorded? It is an open secret that it is easier to get the sea to stand up like a wall than to obtain a Lithuanian passport. It has happened to many people who have been in possess- ion of a Lithuanian passport for years, and got it in a very ordinary and legal way, that suddenly they would find themselves deprived of their citizenship. The police would discover that the passport had been issued without adequate ground and that the proofs of Lithuanian origin supplied were not sufficient to justify the issue of a passport. We know of a case which occurred only a couple of days ago. A Jew living in Janov who had held a Lithuanian passport for years suddenly had it withdrawn. He had lived in Lithuania for many years before the war, and has been living here over since the war. His children were all born in Lithuania; his wife is of Lithuanian birth; he is bound to this country by a thousand ties. What happened was that his boy on reaching the age of 17 applied for a passport on his own account, as the law requires. So they went into the father's antecedents, and the end of it was that they took away his passport and told him to register as an alien. Such things are still possible to-day. Is this deplorable practice to be continued in the new law? That is a question of interest to hundreds of Staatenlose. The statement made by the Minister of the Interior to the J.T.A. makes it clear that the new law will be more or less liberal. The Minister promises that opportunities for acquiring citizenship will be given to entire categories of Staatenlose. That is to be the basic principle. We do not yet know the details, but we hope that the promise made by so high an official personage will be embodied in the new law. It also appears that natives of the Vilna district will enjoy special facilities, all of which will make it possible to deal more satisfactorily with this difficult question of the Staatenlose.
We have more than once pointed out, the editorial says, that these two questions, labour permits and naturalisation, are closely intertwined. If those Staatenlose who to-day must throw themselves on the kindness of the alien permit officers are released from this formula, which imposes the brand of the semitolerated citizen upon them, the entire question will disappear, and one of the most painful hurts of Jewish life in Lithuania will be healed up.
Fad the representatives of the J.T.A. done nothing more by their visit to Kovno than to obtain these important declarations from the Minister of the Interior, the editorial concludes, their visit here would have been worth while, and we must thank the cordially for their achievement. They were received in evrespect with great consideration and courtesy by the representatives of our Government. They were dealt with like people who represent the Jewish public opinion of the world, and, indeed, this explains to us why their enquiries were treated with such earnestness. They came to acquaint themselves and the Jewish world outside concerning the matters which interest the Jews of Lithuania. They had no intention of making political interventions, but in the result their visit here has had this effect.

Outgoing Microsoft business division president Jeff Raikes will become CEO of the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation upon his retirement from the software company later this year, the Gates Foundation announced Monday.
"Joining the Gates Foundation is an honor and an once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to focus on improving the lives of others," Raikes said in a statement. "I'm convinced that through strong partnerships, ambitious goals, and a commitment to impact, we can transform people's lives."
The Gates Foundation is one of the world's largest charitable foundations and is aimed at improving health care and education in the United States and around the world. Among its significant grants and work have been funding for the eradication of AIDS, Japanese encephalitis, and polio and money for agriculture in Africa. The Gates Foundation's work helped spur the selection of Microsoft chairman Bill Gates and his wife, Melinda, as Time magazine's 2005 Persons of the Year.
Raikes will replace the foundation's first CEO, Patty Stonesifer, herself a former Microsoft exec who guided the company's development of MSN and other long-lasting products. She announced in February that she'd be stepping down by the end of the year.
As former Microsoft business division president, Raikes, 50, will bring the experience of managing a multibillion-dollar enterprise to bear at the Gates Foundation. While at Microsoft, Raikes oversaw Microsoft's business products, including Office and the company's Dynamics ERP and CRM suites, almost doubling the division's revenue to more than $16 billion a year.
"We have chosen a leader who embodies the characteristics essential to continuing [the foundation's] work: an extraordinary mind and an uncompromising commitment to getting the job done," Berkshire Hathaway CEO Warren Buffet, who serves on the Gates Foundation's board of trustees, said in a statement.
Raikes announced his plan to leave Microsoft after 27 years on the job in January. He's currently helping his replacement, former Macromedia CEO and Juniper Networks COO Stephen Elop, ease into Raikes' old job. During his long tenure with the company, he helped shape Microsoft Office into the dominant productivity suite it is today. Recently, he's helped turn Microsoft into a business intelligence powerhouse and has pushed the company into the burgeoning unified communications marketplace.

Hernando commissioners will be asked to pull the plug on contract purchasing services Tuesday, an idea started to save money, but now ending to save face. • Terminating the agreement between the commission and Clerk of the Circuit Court Clerk Karen Nicolai is in everybody's best interest, County Administrator David Hamilton told commissioners last week. That may be true politically, but the timing is disconcerting. It comes just three weeks after commissioners agreed to continue the arrangement until June and occurs while substantial public works projects — repairs to the county-owned jail and dredging the Hernando Beach channel — are unsettled.
More to the point, it circumvents a potential legal challenge from community activist Janey Baldwin, who contends the contract violates the county's own rules requiring the commission to oversee the county's procurement officer.
Baldwin's assertions are just the latest in a string of controversies that eroded public confidence in the viability of the purchasing arrangement. The commission turned to Nicolai in the spring after its former purchasing director lost his job while on suspension for his handling of the county's jail contract with Corrections Corporation of America. Nicolai channeled much of the work on the jail and dredge to consultant Lisa Hammond.
There was little discord until late September when Commissioner Jeff Stabins grilled Hammond over the timing of engineering report detailing expensive jail repairs and renovations. It started a series of controversies that included:
• Nicolai offering a full-time job to Hammond for an unadvertised position paying $105,000 annually. By mutual agreement, Nicolai rescinded the job offer days later amid a public outcry.
• That decision came after Hammond's stated credentials wilted under scrutiny from journalists who reported on discrepancies that included a doctorate degree from a closed diploma mill.
• A rush to circumvent standard procedures and award a nearly $9 million no-bid contract to a dredging team whose subcontractors included a company that left a similar job before completion in North Carolina and a local firm owned by a bankrupt road builder slow to pay its county property taxes.
• Continued criticism from ex-Commissioner Rose Rocco asking for accountability in the failed due diligence in that deal.
Rocco's earlier complaints clearly were campaign gambits amid her unsuccessful re-election effort, but Baldwin's contentions, and her willingness to bankroll a court fight if necessary, shows people with no ax to grind also find the whole deal unseemly. Had Baldwin proceeded with seeking an injunction, it would have put commissioners in the awkward position of defending an arrangement some of them also question.
Tuesday, commissioners will be asked to give Nicolai 60 days' notice, approve new job descriptions for a purchasing agent and contract monitor so the vacancy can be advertised, and approve a reorganization that will give oversight of those employees to the human resources manager. She will assume the new title of director of administrative services without a pay increase.
Certainly that will ease a political headache — most notably for Nicolai for not vetting Hammond sufficiently — but it brings no guarantees the dredge will be completed any faster or the jail will be repaired in a more affordable manner. That makes it incumbent upon commissioners and county staff to ride herd on these complicated public works projects, particularly the interminable dredge that has been languishing for nearly two decades.
If the commission chooses to act in everyone's best interests, it must ensure the public's interest is at the very top of the list.

Every (false) face tells a story
|By Alyssa Gienapp
Globe-spanning MSU Museum exhibit has 'Mask' appeal
"Masks are not just strange, exotic, or primitive," said Gary Morgan, exhibit curator at the Michigan State University Museum. "Masks and masking is something people do across cultures."
The exhibit "Mask: Secrets and Revelations" features approximately 240 masks and took a year to develop.
According to Morgan, much of the exhibit revolves around an age-old battle: "It pits good against evil."
That's evident in the sections devoted to masks from popular culture and traditional Mexican devil masks.
The superhero masks reflect the belief in some African cultures that their ancestors have taken on animal forms. Just as an African mask imitates the beak of a bird, the ears on Batman's costume imitate those of a bat.
This is one of the main points of masking, Morgan said, to make the human into something more.
The idea of the mask is about transformation — whether it's transforming into someone uninhibited (like the party masks on display), transforming into an alternate identity, such as a superhero, or transforming an individual into part of a team.
Sports, work and war
A large, heavy Sparty helmet is on display, as worn by the MSU mascot from the 1950s to the 1980s.
"Masks" showcases even earlier incarnations of Sparty, too.
The museum also includes digital materials at the exhibit and online. Smart phones can scan images and find additional content.

A judge has sentenced a Wisconsin man to six months in jail, three years of probation and banned him from owning animals again. According to a Fox11 News report, the judge also ordered Joseph Brunner, of Shawano County, Wis., to speak to local FFA groups.
Brunner was arrested earlier this summer after a foul odor led officials to 24 dead cows on his farm. He reportedly told authorities during questioning that the animals had been sick with pneumonia and wasting disease. Click here to learn more about the case.
A few months after his arrest, Brunner pleaded no contest to animal neglect charges.

The John Osterman Gas Station on Route 66 in Peach Springs, Ariz., has been listed to the National Register of Historic Places effective March 15, according to an email Thursday from the National Park Service.
According to Route 66 photographer and historian Quinta Scott:
John Osterman was a Swedish sailor who landed in Peach Springs, where the largest body of water was a dry wash. He opened a small gas station, and quickly developed a reputation for honest work. He would tow a car day or night. He persuaded his brother, Oscar, to join him, sold him the gas station in 1925, and moved to Kingman. A year laterArizona designated the road in front of the gas station U.S. Highway 66. Oscar built a bigger garage with living quarters over the service bay.
Varying sources places the garage's construction to 1927 or 1929.
The station was closed a few years ago. In 2007, it received a $28,000 cost-share grant from the Route 66 Corridor Preservation Program to rehabilitate the building.
The program, in its 2007 newsletter, mentioned that the station had been nominated to the National Register. Because nominations are usually accepted in a relatively short time, there must have been a snag involving the application.
Upon receiving the grant, it was reported that the Hualapai Indian tribe was going to re-establish fuel service at the station, plus use it as a workshop and retail venue for Hualapai artisans.
Now that the National Register listing makes it eligible for more grants, perhaps this will accelerate the tribe's work on the Osterman station.
An email to the Hualapai had not been answered as of Thursday evening.

What running game? GB hasn't had one all year, and that is what will do them in against SF. They will not be able to move the ball on the ground against the 49ers.
First of all, as a 49ers backer, you should probably be more concerned with whether FRISCO will be effective running the ball because if THEY cant run....you're fucked. Lets just say, hypothetically, that Green Bay doesn't have a solid rushing attack. Did you know that over 17 weeks of football, Green Bay has only failed to score more than 21 points TWICE this season with a so called one dimensional offense? So....who says it will make a difference if they don't run against SF? This is a passing league. Green Bay has the 2nd best QB in the league. To try and sound intellectual by saying Green Bay cant win because they don't have a rushing attack is ridiculous. And by the way, why does every swingin' person try and make the 49ers defense out be the '85 Bears? I mean, who the darn are the 49ers? They had the luxury of playing the Rams and Cardinals over 4 weeks of football this season and, oh by the way, they weren't fortunate enough to beat the Rams this season. As well, they gave up 24 points to the Vikings, 24 points to the Rams, 34 points to New England and 42 points to Seattle. These guy aren't invinceable, to say the least. But as for Green Bay's rushing attack, they DO have a rushing attack as they showed last week with Harris and Grant. Jeff Saturday was a statue and since he was replaced, Green Bay has become much improved. As a Green Bay backer, I'm happier to have Grant back in the backfield as a pass blocker than anything else but since he works best with quick screens on the outside, he'll be a great mismatch for SF's aggressive pass rush.

Isn't this the case with every game in the NFL? It's kinda like me saying, "Better hope SF's O line shows up cause that will determine the outcome of the game."
Originally Posted by BigPapa21: GL amd...Whats your lean in the Atlanta game? Seattle looks awfully tough to me. I love their defense.

I'm still upset he took the 2pts off the board. He-He that bum...
I never thought I'd feel so strongly about ONE player making such an impact on the outcome of a game but the absence of Clemmons will be huge this week. Seattle is a very good team and they should still find ways to apply pressure but I'm not sure it will be enough. With that said, the only way Seattle has a chance to win is to be able to disrupt Atlanta's passing game. I really like Seattle and if I wasn't betting, I'd be pulling for them. But....I'm really leaning heavy on Atlanta at under a fg.
Did I hurt your feelings? Take a Midol, you'll feel better. And, numbers don't always tell the story but trying to explain that to you would be like me trying to explain the Kreb Cycle to a 3 year old. Hang in there
Just messing with you, dude...lighten up

Excellent point to a game that is chalked by only a fg. Weather could definitely be a factor at the stick this weekend so 3rd down conversions will be extremely critical especially since Harbaugh will be reluctant to allow Head Case to attempt long fg's. Rodgers is money on 3rd down, 43%. SF, on the other hand, is 26th in the league at 35.1%.
gonna tease the crap out of both green bay and the patriots with some falcons mixed in nice run

Artist to Watch in 2012: Labrinth
If Labrinth remains something of a cipher to Americans, it's only because his work as an artist and producer is so diverse: Best known for his guest spot on breakout pop-rap import Tinie Tempah's genius 'The Hills'-referencing smash 'Frisky,' he's also made swirly dubstep bangers ('Earthquake'), euphoric dance-pop ('Let the Sun Shine'), and given a blistering grime makeover to Jessie J's 'Do It Like a Dude.'
But it's no exaggeration to say that everything he touches is genius. Seamlessly integrating pop and hip-hop to formulate a sound that's exactingly modern and rich with club-friendly swagger, he's one of the brightest new stars on the musical horizon. He's even got the support of Simon Cowell, who personally signed Labrinth to his label Syco, making him the first non-talent show signing in six years.
With U.K. rappers like Tinie Tempah and Professor Green carving out a new space for British swag in the already-crowded hip-hop sphere, we're tipping Labrinth as the hip-hop kid likeliest to score big in the notoriously hard-to-crack stateside market — with his incisive ability to blend the sound of the underground with his sick pop sensibility. — Sam Lansky

If you work in Wyoming and serve in the state or National Guard or reserves, you might have to leave your private sector job for military service. If you are called to active duty, you might be absent from your civilian job for months. But while you are gone, a federal law called the Uniformed Services Employment and Reemployment Rights Act (USERRA) protects your job. Wyoming law provides similar protections for those in the state's military forces.
USERRA, a federal law, prohibits discrimination against employees who are in the U.S. Armed Forces, have served in the military, or take leave to serve in the military.
USERRA provides valuable additional protections, too. It requires employers to reinstate employees who take up to five years off for military service, with all of the promotions, raises, and other benefits they would have received had they worked through their time off. And, it prohibits employers from firing employees without cause for up to one year after they return from service. (For more information on USERRA, see Taking Military Leave.)
USERRA protects employees who serve in the United States military, including those who serve in the Army, Navy, Marine Corps, Air Force, Coast Guard, Reserves, Army or Air National Guard, and Commissioned Corps of the Public Health Service. If you work in Wyoming and you need time off for service in one of these branches of the U.S. military, you are protected by USERRA.
Employees in Wyoming who are members of the uniformed services and are called to active duty, training, active state duty, or a qualifying physical exam, are entitled to up to five years of leave. Once an employee's military service is complete, the employee is entitled to reinstatement, with all seniority and benefits that would have accrued had the employee been continuously employed. The time limits for requesting reinstatement depend on the length of the employee's military leave. A reinstated employee may not be fired without cause for one year after returning to work.
Wyoming law prohibits employers from discriminating against employees based on their membership in the uniformed services.
If you have faced discrimination because of your military service, or you have been denied the reinstatement and other rights available to you under USERRA or Wyoming law, check out servicemembers.gov, the Department of Justice's website devoted to enforcing USERRA and other laws that protect the rights of those who serve in the military. You'll also find helpful information at the website of Employer Support for the Guard and Reserve.

An strange idea crosses your mind. Not so much an idea, it's more like a feeling. As if something had always been in your mind but you never took the time to pay attention to it. You can feel it. A voice echoes in your head.
Wake up! You've slept enough!
They will do anything to keep you asleep, so they are the only ones awake and can manipulate everything as they please. Aren't you aware of your potential? You could do anything that you wanted.
When people change something for the better, a powerful energy is released. It's so strong that anybody can feel it, however asleep they are. But now almost nobody remembers how to harness it.
The opportunity is in your hands. If we have woken you up it's because we know that you will want to remember. Or at least that's what we expect from you.
Seek out spaces where people are making waves, where you can feel that energy. Help them, and when they get it, make sure you are close at hand to share out the benefits. You will be empowered and you'll take your game up to the next level.
Or you can ignore everything we've told you and carry on sleeping. They will surely thank you for it but we will stay in the game.

The ANC has warned its youth body against making pronouncements that undermine the Constitution of the organisation.
"Regrettably, the ANCYL's decision to undermine and defy the decision of the NDC (National Disciplinary Committee) effectively defines the organisation outside of the ANC Constitutional parameters," said party spokesperson Jackson Mthembu in a statement issued on Sunday night.
"That is totally un-ANC... The leadership of the ANC will look at these developments and respond appropriately."
He was reacting to Sunday's decision by the league's national executive committee for Julius Malema to continue his role as president, despite a suspension that was imposed by the NDC.
In an apparent act of defiance, the ANCYL said it would never be removed by a process that excluded the participation of youth members, and that Malema should continue performing his functions as league president.
This decision was taken at the league's special NEC meeting on Sunday.
Mthembu said NDC's decision to temporarily suspend Malema was an injunction deriving from the party's Constitution.
"As the ANC we believe that he Constitution of the ANC is the ultimate authority on matters of the organisation and thus sacrosanct to all its members and structures including the ANCYL NEC, he said.
"As such, all structures of the ANC were expected to abide by the decisions emanating from bodies mandated by the party's constitution."
The league further argued that the decision to summarily suspend Malema on April 4 - for calling President Zuma a dictator - was not officially communicated to the league.
However, Mthembu disagreed, saying this was communicated Malema.
The conditions of the suspension prohibit Malema from exercising any duty as an ANC member, president of the ANCYL or member of the Limpopo provincial executive committee. He would face fresh disciplinary proceedings in this matter.
Malema has another disciplinary matter which he is appealing. He was expelled from the party last year by the NDC for disrespecting party leaders last year,
The ANCYL has consistently called for a political solution to the tension between itself and the mother body.
On Sunday, the league complained that the leadership's refusal to meet was indication that the league itself was "charged and being banished" for reasons unknown.
Mthembu said the ANC leadership would look into the league's request for a meeting, adding that this would however not interfere with the pending disciplinary process against Malema, league spokesperson Floyd Shivambu and secretary Sindiso Magaqa. - Sapa

The Count Down Begins!Growing up in a broken home really helps put into perspective everything that marriage is not about. I am looking forward to getting married to my fiance for what I hope are all the things marriage should be about. I have never been more happy or felt more loved than I have with him. I am looking forward to all the trials and tribulations life will bring, as well as all the fun and happiness. I think it is so important to find someone who makes you happy rather than just settling for someone who tries to make you happy. I can't wait for the wedding! I wish it could come sooner, but there are just too many people that we want to attend to just throw something together. I do however have some concerns, such as how do I plan a wedding if I've never had one, and who do I really want to help me with planning?

I got an ad in the paper this weekend and it appears HF has added a 6inch DA polisher to their power tool offerings (69924), $80 retail so I'm sure you can get it for at least 20% less with wdiely available coupons.
Has anyone purchased or tried this yet? For less than $60, I am tempted to get one to test and compare to my highly agonized over and newly purchased GG DA 6.
Has someone already beat me to this, do share?

Two Portsmouth brothers are accused of giving alcohol to minors at a Fourth of July party. Police said they went to their party to investigate a sexual assault reportedly committed by another man.
Connor Gammons, 23, and his brother, Taylor Gammons, 22, were arraigned Thursday in Newport District Court on charges of violating the state's social host law. They pleaded not guilty to giving alcohol to a 19-year-old man.
"My clients had nothing to do with any underage drinking," said attorney Emile Martineau, who represents Connor Gammons.
Martineau said the brothers are young professionals who threw an Independence Day party at their Bayview Avenue home for their friends.
Police said that's not what they found when they dropped by the house at about 1:45 a.m. July 5.
NBC 10 tried to get a copy of the police report but could not because officers say it's linked to their ongoing sexual assault investigation. Detective Lt. A.J. Bucci said officers only showed up to the party to follow up on a sexual assault report.
The alleged victim is a 21-year-old woman who attended the party. The alleged perpetrator is a 19-year-old man, possibly the same man to whom the Gammonses allegedly gave alcohol.
Police won't say where the reported assault took place, but Martineau said it has nothing to do with his client and his brother.
"Let me be very clear," Martineau said. "There's nothing in the police report that alleges any type of assault occurred on their property or at their house I wouldn't say they are related at all."
Police said they're also investigating thefts from that night. A partygoer reported his OxyContin medication was stolen, and Connor Gammons reported his $5,000 watch disappeared.

Lepidozamia peroffskyana
Australia: roughly between Gympie, Queensland and Taree, New South Wales. Found in rainforest and wet sclerophyll forest, i.e., sites where fire is uncommon to rare. Elevations range from sea level to 1000 m. Soils are well-structured loams. Diurnal temperatures range from 19-32°C summer to 6-22°C winter. Rainfall, 1500 mm, is predominantly during the summer (Jones 1993).
Trunk to 7 m tall and 40 cm diameter. Cones may weigh 45 kg (Jones 1993).
A popular ornamental (the type plant was found in the St. Petersburg Botanical Garden!) (Jones 1993). Seeds are large and numerous, so aboriginal use for food seems likely.
It grows "wild" (in a rather well-maintained context) in the Lepidozamia Grove, Tamborine National Park, south Queensland. Have also seen at the Sydney Botanical Garden.
Named for Count Peroffsky, benefactor of the St. Petersburg Botanical Garden (Jones 1993).

PHOENIX — Arizona kept its Arena Football League record spotless by downing the Talons on Saturday night.
The Rattlers (6-0), sporting the best offense in the AFL, shined with quarterback Nick Davila completing 20 of 30 passes for 306 yards and nine touchdowns against the Talons (1-6). His No. 1 target was Nick Purify, who had nine receptions for 145 yards and three TDs.
Arizona scored on its first play when Davila hit Tyson Poots with a 24-yard TD pass. That was just the beginning.
With the exception of an interception by Kyle Whitehurst in the first half and running out the clock in the final seconds, Arizona scored on all its possessions.
Sports Channel
Talons QB Shane Boyd connected on 19 of 28 passes for 272 yards and six TDs, with four going to DJ Stephens, who had 10 catches for 155 yards.
Next up: vs. Iowa, 7 p.m. May 3

I have always loved peanut butter cookies and the combination of chocolate and peanut butter is my guilty pleasure. Not a healthy cookie but in moderation it's a welcome treat.
This is a simple peanut butter recipe adapted right from the Kraft peanut butter jar. I've added dark chocolate to the mix because I love it. Other yummy additions are chopped peanuts, candies or milk chocolate chips. This makes a perfect base for whatever you want. Next time I plan on trying drizzled chocolate on top.
Without flour, these cookies are gluten free and easy to make. So many people eat gluten free due to medical issues. I find the cookies come out of the oven moist and will fall apart if you try and take them off the pan. Have patience. As the cookies cool they become firm.
Peanut Butter & Chocolate Chip Cookies
- Peanut Butter - 1 cup
- Sugar - 0.5 cup
- Egg - 1, Beaten
- Dark Chocolate Chips - 0.5 cup
- Preheat oven to 350 F
- Mix all ingredients.
- Roll into balls, place on cookie sheet and press with fork in criss cross pattern.
- Bake for 15 minutes.
- Cool for awhile on cookie sheet before taking off with spatula. These cookies are moist and will break easily until cooled.

text: Here are the videos I promised from last week's Atlantic Food Summit, which I wrote about here: three meaty panels, including one with our (and, okay, Slow Food USA's) Josh Viertel, plus bonus long and terrific interview with our (and, all right, the White House's) Zeke Emanuel. I asked Jen Ward to edit clips on subjects I hadn't heard discussed in the terms they are here, which I think provide a new way of looking at familiar problems--and bring up unfamiliar one we should probably be thinking a good deal more about. Thanks to Jen, and of course to everyone who helped organize--and who came to--a really interesting day.

Rotel RB-1572 Stereo Power Amplifier
Blown Away By The Quality Of This AMP
I just purchased this Power Amplifier from HI FI Gear for £795 & I can't begin to tell you how impressed I am with this model. I have an old pair of B&W floor standing Speakers DM 604 S3, they are a nightmare to power. My old NAD power amp gave up the ghost 2 years ago & I have had no amp for 2 years, I finally found a mid range power amp with the muscle to power my B&W Pair with plenty of muscle left in reserve. These 250 watts at 8 ohms effortlessly power the most stubborn of speakers. I just matched them with the Audiolab 8200 CDQ that I got for an amazing price of £875 from Vickers Hi Fi, they Complement each other perfectly. At the moment I am streaming music from my pc connected to my sony Bravia TV via HDMI ,connected to the Audiolab CDQ via spidif fiber optic ,connected to the Rotel Rb 1572 connected to the B&W DM 406 S3 speakers. I am amazed just how good Google play actually sounds when powered properly. I played a CD of Madonna's True Confessions on the Audiolab CDQ, the speakers started eat into the floor the bass was amazing the true flow was brilliant. The CDQ has no BASS, No TONE, No TREBLE, the sound you get out of the CD is how it was supposed to sound. I streamed the Crystal Method Album Tweekend through Google-play, the quality of the stream-Sound, made Madonna sound like a rank amateur. I am a very happy bunny, ;) Streaming movies or just watching TV with this amp & Preamp set up is an absolute joy. Sound quality over Bluray will blow you away,forget surround sound amps they suck, go for this instead you won't be disappointed.

Raymond Hanson was an Australian composer and lecturer in composition. He was born in Sydney on 23 November 1913. He mostly taught himself to compose and after World War II became a lecturer at the NSW Conservatorium. He taught many well known composers and musicians including Nigel Butterley, Richard Meale, Don Burrows and Roger Woodward. However, it took many years for his own music to be acknowledged. The English critic Neville Cardus described Hanson's music as containing "an originality that avoided Anglocentrism".

I searched for a long time unsuccessfully trying to find a resolution to my SSG320M and Cisco ACS v5.x TACACS dilemma. I finally got it working in my network, so I'm posting the resolution here in case anyone else is looking.
Title: Configuration Example - Juniper SSG and Cisco ACS v5.x
Product: Juniper SSG320M (Cisco ACS v5.x)
Version: ScreenOS 6.3.0r10.0 (Cisco ACS v18.104.22.168.8)
Network Topology:
[Juniper SSG320M]-----[Cisco 3560 Switch]-----[Cisco ACS VM]
Purpose - Authenticate SSG administrators using TACACS+ instead of local logins
Description - This configuration is for Cisco ACS v5.x, JTAC only had the v3.3 configuration.
ACS v5.x is a Linux-based VM with a completely new user interface and structure.
Configuration:Configure the Juniper (CLI)
1. Add the Cisco ACS and TACACS+ configuration
set auth-server CiscoACSv5 id 1
set auth-server CiscoACSv5 server-name 192.168.1.100

set auth-server CiscoACSv5 tacacs secret CiscoACSv5
set auth-server CiscoACSv5 tacacs port 49
set admin auth server CiscoACSv5
set admin auth remote primary
set admin auth remote root
set admin privilege get-external
Configure the Cisco ACS v5.x (GUI)
1. Navigate to Policy Elements > Authorization and Permissions > Device Administration > Shell Profiles
Create the Juniper Shell Profile.
Click the [Create] button at the bottom of the page
Select the General tab

Value: root
Click the [Add^] button above the Attribute field
Add the privilege attribute:

Click the [Add^] button above the Attribute field
Click the [Submit] button at the bottom of the page
2. Navigate to Access Policies > Access Services > Default Device Admin > Authorization
Create the Juniper Authorization Policy and filter by Device IP Address.
Click the [Customize] button at the bottom Right of the page
Under Customize Conditions, select Device IP Address from the left window
Click the [>] button to add it
Click the [OK] button to close the window

AHCI to Enable or Not?
Hi, I am using a HP Pavillion 180t computer with Window 7(SP-1), IE9 RC. 12GB Ram, Quad Core i7, 3.33Ghz.
I do not have AHCI enabled based upon the Tutorial to do so. Would enableing AHCI be of value to me? If so how? Any help appreciated.
|My System Specs
|26 Feb 2011
Windows 7 Ultimate x64
You get some more advanced features with AHCI like hot plugging and better native command queuing. It will improve performance especially on benchmarks. Real world performance is a lot less noticeable.
I used to run my rig on IDE, because AHCI introduced an 8 second delay at boot which I never felt I earned back in performance. On a later BIOS update, that 8 seconds went to 2, and I switched to AHCI at that point. It's going to really depend a lot on you and your exact machine.

You have a SATA harddrive so I would leave it as factory setting.
AHCI is for Raid or using SSD normally.

Criminal Law
Criminal Law Questions? Ask a Criminal Lawyer.
Hello,My name is XXXXX XXXXX I am an experienced criminal lawyer.The statute of limitations for most Federal offenses is five years. So if your involvement with this political group ended more than 5 years ago, you are not the current target of any Federal investigation.While you can order your criminal history from the state and even your 50 state and Federal history from the FBI, they do not show investigations on these documents. Law enforcement investigations are not a matter of public record, and there's no way to look the data up somewhere. It's not discoverable and for that matter may not even exist.There's a saying that you don't stir up a pot that isn't boiling. You provide no concrete reason at all for believing you're the subject of an investigation except for membership in a political organization. Unless people you know from that organization have been questioned and/or arrested with regard to their activities, you should stop worrying about this. To go to the Feds and ask about whether you're a target or not is to flag that you may have been involved with something inappropriate. That would be very unwise.YOu have a right against self-incrimination. The police and FBI are the last people on earth you ought to contact when you're nervous about how your activities might be scrutinized and interpreted. Don't reach out to them and if they reach out to you, don't discuss your membership or your activiites with this group. Just tell them that you want to confer with your lawyer before talking to them, and you'll get back to them. Then find counsel.

Ginn gets mixed reviews from observers
Published: May 18th, 2010 | Tags: Mike Singletary, San Francisco 49ers, Ted Ginn Jr.
The early impressions of WR Ted Ginn Jr. coming out of 49ers OTAs have been mixed.
Ginn, the speedy receiver/return man who is getting a fresh start by the Bay, also hasn't been able to shake his reputation he earned in Miami for dropped passes. That's bad when your primary job is to catch them.
San Jose Mercury News columnist Cam Inman was on hand for the 49ers' first day of a three-day OTA session Monday, noting that Ginn, a fixture at the team's practice facility, "repeatedly dropped balls." A couple of weeks back, David White of the San Francisco Chronicle passed along some thoughts from coach Mike Singletary, who said his coaches believe Ginn is more than just a return man. But Kevin Lynch had the same impressions of Ginn Monday, blogging that Ginn's reputation for drops has stayed in tact.
NFL Network analyst Brian Baldinger suggested there are things to like about the new fit for Ginn, who will likely fill the No. 3 or 4 receiver role for the 49ers. And since we are talking about dropped passes during voluntary OTAs in May, it might be worth reserving judgement whether Ginn just had a bad day or if the drops have followed him to San Francisco.
