$39,240 per year
$18.87 per hour
|High school diploma or equivalent
|Moderate-term on-the-job training
|24% (Much faster than average)
What Solar Photovoltaic Installers Do
Solar photovoltaic (PV) installers, often called PV installers, assemble, install, or maintain solar panel systems on roofs or other structures.
Work Environment
Although most PV installation is done outdoors, installers sometimes work in attics and crawl spaces to connect panels to the electric grid. Installers must also travel to job sites. Most work full time during regular business hours, but some are required to be on call for emergencies.
How to Become a Solar Photovoltaic Installer
Although some installers need only a high school diploma and they typically receive on-the-job training lasting up to 1 year, many candidates take a course at a technical school or community college, or receive training as part of an apprenticeship program.
The median annual wage for solar photovoltaic installers was $39,240 in May 2016.
Job Outlook
Employment of solar photovoltaic (PV) installers is projected to grow 24 percent from 2014 to 2024, much faster than the average for all occupations. The continued expansion and adoption of solar panel installations will result in excellent job opportunities for qualified individuals, particularly those who complete a photovoltaic training course at a community college or technical school.

411mania Interviews: The Canyons' James Deen
James Deen has been a busy man in the headlines recently. The latest adult industry star to crossover to the mainstream, Deen jumped right into the spotlight co-starring with Lindsay Lohan in Paul Schrader's film The Canyons, written by Bret Easton Ellis. Much has been said about his work with the actress but Deen has put Hollywood on notice. Recently rumors of him being cast in the much talked about 50 Shades of Grey have made the rounds, and his fans couldn't be happier. He also is producing an intriguing project, Cowboys & Engines, using Kickstarter to garner attention and support.
Deen entered the adult film industry in 2004 at the age of 18 and quickly made an impact. In February of 2012, ABC Nightline aired the feature "Porn's Boy Next Door", which included interviews with both Deen and his fans. One fan describing him as the Ryan Gosling of porn. I was grateful to capture a few minutes of his time to talk about The Canyons, the Lohan controversary, Cowboys & Engines, and what's next for this crossover star?
Steve Gustafson: James, thanks for taking some time and talking with 411wrestling.com about The Canyons and some other projects you're involved with. I have to tell you something funny. While I was preparing the questions for your interview, I popped over to your Twitter the first thing I read is your tweet saying, "I am completely over talking about lindsay lohan. I am officially getting off the coat tails. This topic now bores me" I threw out my notes and started over! I can imagine the frustration of being asked the same question over and over. So I'll ask a very general: how was working on the set of The Canyons?
James Deen: Sorry about that. I didn't mean to mess up your interview. My issue with it is that even though I have said the exact same things in every single interview, it seems that the only way people can put a new spin on the story is by making it look like I am "lashing out" or "throwing her under the bus." I don't want to have any part in that kind of behavior, so I rather not participate in any of it at all. Anyways, back to your question. Working on the set of The Canyons was an exciting experience. I was honored to be involved, and I can not wait to see the film.
Steve Gustafson: Totallly understandable and no apology needed. The media is always looking for that angle, anyway they can spin it. Let's back up and talk about the casting. I read that they wanted to cast somebody "more edgy and unexpected" and Bret Easton Ellis (Writer) wrote the role with you in mind. There was some reluctance from Paul Schrader (Director) at first because of your adult film career but was won over by your acting abilities and charisma. Can you talk about the casting process from your point-of-view?
James Deen: Sure. I was supposed to meet Paul Schrader when he came to Los Angeles. This kept getting delayed. Bret and Braxton both really wanted me for the role, so I made a Head and Shoulders video and Braxton emailed it to Paul. When he finally did come out, we met and read through parts of the script. He was still a little nervous about me playing the role, but when his wife, who is very anti-sex, saw my video she said I was best for the part. His thoughts, as far as they have been explained to me, were that if I could win her over, I could win anyone over.
Steve Gustafson: Wow. That "Deen" charm wins them over! Talking about the movie, The Canyons is described as an "erotic thriller neo-noir film". How would you describe your character, Christian? How did you prepare to play him?
James Deen: He is an emotionally damaged control freak. I don't know what i really did…I just kind of played pretend and tried to build a character. It was fun.
Steve Gustafson: Nice. How was it working with Paul Schrader? What did you learn from him?
James Deen: It was a honor to work with someone as iconic as Paul. I don't know what I learned from him. I don't think I learned anything from him. He directed and I acted. We didn't really have a mentor/protege type thing going.
Steve Gustafson: Fair enough. I'm curious. What are some of the similarities and difference between an adult film set and a "mainstream" movie set? Besides the obvious. Can Hollywood learn a few things from the porn world?
James Deen: It is exactly the same. The only difference would be the sex. I think Hollywood could learn how to use their budgets more efficiently. In adult we are trying to make movies of comparable quality but on 25K instead of 10 million. That is why porn looks so cheesy. We don't have the budget to make it look all fancy, but it is shot exactly the same. The Canyons was made on a super small budget, and I think they did an excellent job of utilizing it correctly. It was done as efficiently as a porno. I consider this a very high compliment to The Canyons.
James Deen: I would like to attach myself to projects that I believe in and can stand behind. I wouldn't mind actively going out and trying to get a role, but I don't know what that would be. I like hearing the 50 Shades of Grey rumors…That would be cool.
Steve Gustafson: I've been reading those same rumors and you would be an ideal candidate. OK, let's switch gears to your adult film work! You've been busy. You won Crossover Star of the Year and Male Performer of the Year from both AVN and XBIZ. What do those wins mean to you?
James Deen: It is a high honor. It feels very good to be appreciated and comended by your peers for your accomplishments in doing what you love.
Steve Gustafson: Right. And you've been on a strong run for a while now so they were much deserved. What projects do you have coming up that we should be looking for?
James Deen: I am producing a movie called Cowboys & Engines. You can find it on KickStarter right now. I hope we can raise the funds and make it happen because I am super excited for it. Go to Kickstarter
Steve Gustafson: We'll come back to that in a second but I just had a "What if?" question. Which Hollywood celebrity would you like to see crossover to porn?
James Deen: I don't know… ummmm… Betty White?
Steve Gustafson: You just blew my mind. And moving on. You were a prominent voice speaking out about Los Angeles County Measure B. Where do things stand currently?
James Deen: The measure violates First Amendment rights. It is being fought in court. It is impossible to win a vote especially when it is posed as "safer sex." Safe sex is important and absolutely should be promoted. I am amazed it was as close as it was. However, this measure does not make sex safer. It violates my rights as an American to create the type of content I believe in.
James Deen: I was presented the script. I agreed that I didn't fit any of the roles correctly. I could have played Cade Ballard but I am too young. It would have been "making it work." I always loved producing. I like to be the guy to make it all happen and that is what producing is, so I jumped at the opportunity to sign on as a producer.
Steve Gustafson: It looks like it could catch on big. You have a lot on your plate, Mr. Deen! Where can fans keep up with your exploits?
James Deen: jamesdeenblog.com, jamesdeenstore.com, twitter.com/jamesdeen, I think i have a Facebook page too, but I don't manage that one so who cares?
Steve Gustafson: Awesome. And last, how was working with Lindsay Lohan?
James Deen: …
Steve Gustafson: Kidding! Thanks again for your time James and all the best!

KATHMANDU, Nepal -- Nepal's communist insurgents called yesterday for an indefinite nationwide strike as the country's major political parties prepared for a weekend protest amid growing anger over the king's rule.
The strike is to start April 3 and follow about three weeks of blockades of roads to the capital, Kathmandu, and other main cities and towns, a statement by rebel leaders Prachanda and Baburam Bhattarai said.
The statement called for schools and businesses to be forced to close and transportation to be disrupted.
More than 10,000 protesters were expected to join a rally today to mark Democracy Day, which celebrates a popular 1980s movement that forced the previous king to establish a multiparty democracy, said Shobhakar Parajuli, a spokesman for the Nepali Congress party.
The rally would be the biggest since the current king, Gyanendra, seized power last February and declared a state of emergency, saying it would help quell the insurgency and clean up government corruption.
The strike call and planned rally follow a series of recent political setbacks to King Gyanendra's rule.
On Friday, the Supreme Court ordered the release of 37 political detainees, including senior party officials. Judges said they could find no reason for the detentions and ordered the government to immediately free them.
The court last week released several other detainees and scrapped the Royal Commission for Corruption Control, which had jailed several political leaders on bribery charges in an apparent bid to prevent them from mobilizing support against the king's direct rule.
Hundreds have been jailed, some for a few days and others for several months, since Gyanendra seized power.
The rebels, who say they are inspired by China's Mao Zedong, have fought for a decade to replace the constitutional monarchy with a communist state.
In their statement Saturday, they also urged Nepalese to stop paying taxes and appealed to police and soldiers to join their ranks.
Fighting between the rebels and security forces has escalated since the takeover by Gyanendra, who is facing growing criticism both at home and abroad.
The political impasse has resulted in increasing violations of human rights by the security forces and the rebels.
On Friday, an abducted government official died of an asthma attack in rebel hands in eastern Nepal, a news report said. The administrator was kidnapped Feb. 7 along with 14 other government officials and security personnel. Eleven were later released.

From a previous community needs survey, we determined that asthma was a particular problem in our community-based research network of child care centers. This study will examine whether a moderate intervention can help these centers improve their "asthma-friendly" rating as per NHLBI guidelines. We will both center directors and parents to establish baseline data on child health and the "asthma-friendliness" of each center. We will use a wait-list control, with all centers eventually receiving the intervention.

Causality Between Money and Prices: Evidence from Pakistan
The objective of the paper is to re-examine the causal relationship between money and prices in Pakistan using recent data and employing cointegration and error correction models. Two measures of prices (CPI and WPI) and three measures of money stocks (M0, M1, and M2) were taken for the period July 1981 to June 1998. The analysis indicates a long run relationship between prices and M2 definition of money. The other definitions of money do not seem to be related with prices. The analysis further suggests a unidirectional causality running from money to prices and thus supporting the monetarists's claim regarding the role of money. The results, however, are different from the findings of earlier studies in Pakistan which generally report bidirectionl causality between prices and money.

With great power comes great responsibility, as we all know. Part of that responsibility is using the gifts that God, evolution, or genetics gave you. Jerry Rice was one of the greatest, if not the greatest, wide receiver of all time. As a kid I had the pleasure of cheering him on while wearing my kids-medium Steve Young jersey before he went to the hated ones (hint: they play in Oakland). Jerry Rice's work ethic is what made him who he was as a player, and who he is now as a person; that's why Randy Moss' lazy-ass attitude rubbed Jerry the wrong way.
Pro Football Talk on NBC Sports has the transcript of an interview conducted on ESPN Radio, where Rice had the following to say about Moss:
"It was hard for me to swallow because I was not as talented and I had to work harder. To see a guy with that much talent not give it 100 percent, it was almost like a little slap in the face. But Randy was Randy. He could have been one of the greatest if he had worked just a little bit harder. I don't think he wanted to give it 100 percent. You never knew what you were going to get with Randy. Sometimes you'd get the unbelievable guy, the amazing guy. Other times you'd get the guy that took a couple plays off."While Randy Moss is indisputably a great player, his career will always be stained by his poor attitude, not to mention the times he quit (again, for that Oakland team). Jerry Rice must be thinking about what kind of records he would have put up had he been given the sort of talent Moss possessed; but this is a great lesson for everyone: talent alone won't produce results. You have to work for it, too.

DARYL Powell is delighted with the way Featherstone's new faces are slotting in.
With 11 new signings, competition for places will be keener than ever next season and team boss Powell (pictured) believes that could bring the best out of the Rovers squad.
"We are into our second week of training and things are going pretty well. There are quite a few new faces and the boys are knitting together really quickly and I am happy with the way they've all integrated," he said.
"We've created a really competitive environment in which they are competing against each other at every session and that's gone down pretty well.
"The new guys are working in small team groups and they've fitted straight into that, with some good leadership coming through.
"They are all working very hard and you can see straight away there's a real solid, competitive atmosphere among the group.
"The players themselves can see when they look around that it's going to be a tough team to get into this year and as a result everyone is working exceptionally hard to be as good as they can be.
"I think the competition for places could be the difference this season. Obviously as we went through last season different people left the club and that left us quite skinny in the end in terms of quality of numbers.
"I think the quality as well as the numbers this year is going to make it really difficult for me to start with in terms of selecting the team and it is going to make it difficult for individuals to get into the side. It makes sense that people have to strive to be as good as they possibly can to pick up the spots."
Rovers are edging closer to finalising clearance for Papua New Guinea signings Jessie Joe Parker and Larsen Masabe.
Said Powell: "Hopefully it will be sooner rather than later that they are getting the flight tickets and we've got them over here."
Featherstone's home form let them down last season and that's something Powell aims to remedy.
He said: "Without going over the top too much on it, I think the players will recognise that it's something we need to be good at. Obviously you want to improve your crowd levels and that goes hand in hand with making sure your home form is right.
"The fans have also got a big part to play in terms of their input and making sure it's a great environment for our players to play in and a hostile one for visiting teams to play in.
"I'm pretty comfortable that we are going to be right. We have the personnel and the characters in place to make sure we'll be good both home and away in the coming season."
Wakefield Wildcats have announced they will play a pre-season friendly at Featherstone Rovers on Sunday, January 10.

26 Jul Snapchat Partners With MTV While Facebook Makes "Big Plans" | #SYSK
Snapchat Partners With MTV for VMA Nominee Announcements
The MTV Video Music Awards always have a reputation for generating headlines (both good and bad), and this year was no exception. MTV became one of the first brands to utilize Snapchat choosing to announce their star-studded list of VMA nominees via the "disappearing" photo app. While this is a great way for MTV to increase its Snapchat engagement, those who missed it were able to view the same announcement clips via Vine and Instagram (as they did last year). The question still lingers though, will other award shows, or other brands, follow suit?
Does Facebook Have Big Plans for Instagram?
Instagram users encountered an interesting message this week while scrolling through their feeds. Now one of the top questions on everyone's mind is "what is Bolt?" Many speculations have been made about Facebook going after Snapchat again with what could possibly be a new one tap photo messaging app, but others have pointed out it could be part of Facebooks Install Ads. Either way, Facebook has only announced that there are big things planned for next week, maybe Bolt will be another addition to the four messaging apps Facebook already features.
Facebook Mobile Ads Increase Revenue
Fueled by strong demand for mobile advertising, Facebook extended its hot streak in the second quarter, gaining on its chief competitor, Google, and positioning itself as a top player in digital advertising. The giant social network scorched analyst estimates for the ninth straight quarter. Facebook grew revenue 61% and more than doubled second-quarter profit while making even more money from ads targeted at users on mobile devices, sending shares to record highs in after-hours trading on Wednesday.

The Note's Must-Reads are a round-up of today's political headlines and stories from ABC News and the top U.S. newspapers. Posted Monday through Friday right here at www.abcnews.com
Compiled by ABC News Digital News Associates Jayce Henderson, Jacqueline Fernandez and Desk Assistant Amanda VanAllen
GOP / DEBATE: ABC News' Amy Walter: " Analysis: Herman Cain, Mitt Romney Win GOP Economy Debate" Mitt Romney and Herman Cain: You can always tell who the frontrunners are at a debate because they are the guys who take all the incoming fire. Tonight, it was clear that Mitt Romney and Herman Cain are seen by their rivals as the men to beat. In fact, when the candidates were allowed to ask one of their opponents a question, all picked Romney — except for Ron Paul, who picked Cain. LINK
USA Today's Susan Page and Jackie Kucinich: " Cain finds himself the target at GOP debate" Businessman Herman Cain, the unlikely presidential contender who has never won an election, suddenly found himself the center of attention and the target of fire by his rivals after surging to challenge former Massachusetts governor Mitt Romney at the top of the Republican field. The seventh debate of the political season featured a reshaped Republican contest, with Texas Gov. Rick Perry trying to recover after his support plummeted in the wake of stumbles at the past two debates. LINK
The New York Times' Jeff Zeleny and Ashley Parker: " Romney Looks Past Rivals as Debate Focuses on Economy" Mitt Romney offered a robust defense of the health care plan he signed as governor of Massachusetts and sought to look beyond his Republican presidential rivals at a debate here Tuesday night by presenting himself as the leader who is best prepared to take on President Obama. LINK
The Washington Post's Philip Rucker and Amy Gardner: " Mitt Romney solidifies his front-runner status in Republican debate" A comfortable and confident Mitt Romney solidified his front-runner status on Tuesday night in the battle for the Republican presidential nomination, navigating 90 minutes of tough questions on the economy from his rivals and debate moderators. LINK
The Washington Times' Seth McLaughlin: " GOP rivals target Cain's '9-9-9' plan" Former Godfather's Pizza CEO Herman Cain learned last night what it's like to sit among the top tier of candidates in the GOP presidential race, as his rivals poked fun at and dismissed his "9-9-9? tax plan, which he argues would kick-start economic growth. LINK
Bloomberg's Jeanne Cummings: " Debate Shows Frontrunner Romney Lacks Party Majority" Mitt Romney left the stage of last night's Republican presidential debate on the economy as he entered: a cautious frontrunner, not prone to mistakes, who has yet to win the backing of at least 70 percent of his party. With four of his seven Republican challengers at a debate table in Hanover, New Hampshire, directing questions at him, Romney's was the voice viewers and listeners heard the most. LINK
Politico's Maggie Haberman: " The GOP debate: Six takeaways" They came to talk about the economy, and for the most part that's exactly what the GOP field did Tuesday night. Eight candidates again took the stage — or in this case, the table — for a Bloomberg/Washington Post debate, which focused on the main issue driving the 2012 campaign: the nation's fiscal problems. LINK
The Wall Street Journal's Jonathan Weisman and Neil King Jr.: " Cain, New to the GOP Top Tier, Faces Barbs at Debate" Former restaurant-company executive Herman Cain, assuming his new position as a top-tier contender for the Republican presidential nomination, was pressed to defend his economic prescriptions against attacks from rivals at a Republican candidates' debate that showcased the shifting fortunes of the campaign. Mr. Cain trumpeted his "9-9-9? tax plan, which would scrap the current income-tax code and replace it with a 9% flat individual tax rate, a 9% corporate tax rate and a 9% national sales tax. LINK
The New York Daily News' Alison Gendar and Aliyah Shahid: " Chris Christie endorses Mitt Romney for President in 2012, just hours before Republican debate" Governors unite! Former Massachusetts Gov. Mitt Romney has grabbed up a plum endorsement from New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie. "America cannot survive another four years of Barack Obama," Christie said today as he stood beside Romney addressing supporters ahead of Tuesday's debate at Dartmouth College in New Hampshire. LINK
The Los Angeles Times' Paul West: " Herman Cain, '9-9-9' plan the focus of latest GOP debate" Herman Cain , the rising star of the moment in the Republican presidential contest, was repeatedly put on the defensive over his tax-overhaul plan in a televised debate Tuesday night. Several of his GOP rivals criticized a central facet of the Atlanta businessman's 9-9-9 proposal: a new 9% national sales tax. Noting that New Hampshire has no state income tax, Rick Santorum asked for a show of hands from New Hampshire residents in the debate audience who favored that proposal. Few hands went up. LINK
JOBS: The Hills' Alexander Bolton: " Obama's $447 billion jobs plan blocked with 50-49 Senate vote" President Obama received a slap from members of his own party Tuesday as the Senate voted 50-49 to block his $447 billion jobs package. The jobs plan, which the president has spent much of the last month touting on a cross-country tour, fell well short of the 60 votes it needed to proceed. LINK

From Our Editors
Current coach and former player Nick Nurse built his 25-year basketball career on a beautiful shot. He still holds the record at the University of Northern Iowa for highest three-point shooting percentage, and his fundamental approach to instruction led him to nine championships as a head coach in the Euroleague and the 2010-2011 NBA Developmental League championship, the same season he won Coach of the Year. His most recent accolade was an invitation to be an assistant on the Great Britain national team in the 2012 Olympics.
Coach Nick's formula for success has remained simple: work hard, practice, and live forever. He brings this philosophy to his shooting and point-guard academies. Boys, girls, men, and women of all ages and ability levels can improve their games by working on their basic skill sets. Shooting camps focus on the most underrated aspect of basketball, shooting, by forcing students to repeatedly hoist the "Pill" practice ball through the hoop. The "Pill" uses alternating color panels and bold, straight lines to help players see the backspin and release angle they put into each shot, making it easier to adjust where necessary. Point-guard academies take these skills to the next level by adding work with dribbling, passing, and on-court vision.:

Perhaps the biggest upset in the race came when Herrin's teammate and three-time defending SuperBike champion, Josh Hayes, crashed his Yamaha R1 after leading the initial laps. Hayes dropped to the back of the pack, and though he was able to recover and continue racing, he was significantly behind and could only recover to 18th before the finish.
When Hayes crashed, Hayden was running a close second and was able to take the front ahead of Cardenas, who had moved into third ahead of Herrin. Hayden and Cardenas proceeded to leave Herrin behind through the subsequent laps, making for a two-man battle to the final lap for the lead. Cardenas remained right on Hayden's rear tire until the penultimate lap when he finally made a pass for the front stick. The Colombian was given additional breathing room thanks to Hayden's disappointing final lap effort, which saw him post his slowest lap time of the contest.
Hayden's teammate, Danny Eslick, finished fourth followed by Team Hero's Geoff May in fifth. May's teammate, Aaron Yates, took sixth and Motosport.com's David Anthonly scored seventh.
Hayes' misfortune cost him the points lead, and he's now down in third-place behind Herrin, the new class leader, and Cardenas. Hayes is 16 points adrift of his teammate and will have to run flawlessly through the remaining three races of the season to have a chance at a fourth consecutive title.

A bunch of gorgeous young women revive an old message: "You Don't Own Me."
That's not up to him to decide, really, is it?
The secretary of state blasts Anne-Marie Slaughter's Atlantic article about women in the workplace.
A new report reveals the local Libyans it hired weren't armed and didn't have security experience.
Romney's turn of phrase wasn't just a Tumblr waiting to be born, it was an insight into his views on the importance of promoting women.
The president wins his rematch with Mitt Romney by knocking him off his game on Libya, of all things.
Between his boys and his body man, who needs the press?
Before you watch the foreign-policy portion of the presidential debate Tuesday, you must read the State Department's riveting tale of heroism in Benghazi.
His use of a very restricted "we" in talking about Libya sure seems to point a finger at Foggy Bottom.
A man elected to the U.S. Senate at age 29 should be quite familiar with the young vice-presidential contender's unique mix of cockiness, competence, ambition, and nerves.
The Democrat from Missouri has enlisted three survivors to help press her case against Todd Akin.
The former president laid into Mitt Romney in a humorous take-down of his debate persona during an appearance in Las Vegas Tuesday.
Republicans seem thrilled the president's reelection campaign keeps bringing up Big Bird and the debate that bounced Romney into the lead in polls.
Gallup polling shows that two in three Americans watched the first presidential debate -- and 72 percent of them think Mitt Romey won it.
Big Bird is too big to fail. Romney should have picked on someone his own size.
Birthers and truthers, meet the new kids in town: defenders of Big Bird.
Did the Drudge-driven brouhaha over Obama's "Quiet Riot" speech unsettle him before the debate? One conservative considers the question.
Once again, the man who once captured the imaginations of millions delivered an emotionless appeal.
The first presidential debate will cover weighty matters. But it will also have a lot of predictable throat-clearing. Here are some examples.
A swing-state advertisement suggests Romney will get rid of the mortgage interest deduction, the child care tax credit and tax savings for college tuition.

Moore: Why lack of contract extension doesn't increase pressure on Cowboys' Jason Garrett
Beat writer David Moore answered your Cowboys questions on Wednesday. Here are some highlights.
Question: Jerry just stated that he's in no rush to extend Garrett's contract. I'm no big fan of Garrett, but if he goes into the last year as a lame duck, with the media scrutiny around this team, it will be a disaster. Look what happened in Philly in Reid's last year. Thoughts?
David Moore: My thoughts are there will be no more pressure on Garrett than there would be otherwise. Let's say Jones did sign him to an extension. Do you believe if the Cowboys got off to a 2-6 start there wouldn't be speculation about Garrett's job security? Do you believe Jones wouldn't let him go if he felt he lost the team? After three consecutive seasons of 8-8, I don't see the impetus for Jones to sign Garrett to an extension. I do believe this team is better now than it was when Garrett took over, but there are still game management issues that can't be dismissed.
Question: do you see any value in keeping Austin, he can't stay on the field, think it is time to let spencer hit the open market,cowboys have been paying big money to aging players at the end of their career for to long, that is why we are in the situation now.
David Moore: I do see value in keeping Austin at a reduced price. I believe the club does too. But I just don't know if that will happen. I think it's more likely that Austin is playing for another team in 2014.
Question: is it me or are other staffs getting more wins out of comparable talent? Not discounting the teams issues and this years DL was a crusher but seems like when we're comparable to say the Steelers in strengths and weakness's, they go 10-6/ 11-5 and we go 8-8 or worse.
David Moore: How you approach this question depends on how you value the Cowboys talent. If you believe it's in the upper half of the league in terms of talent, then yes, you can argue the coaching staff has underachieved. If you believe the talent level of this club puts it in the bottom half of the league, if you believe it's overrated due to the focus on star players, if you believe the club's insistence on paying star players leaves it thin in key areas up front and in depth, then I don't believe you can argue this coaching staff is not getting the most out of its talent.
Question: how can we trust a GM who drafted all corners one year and none of them could play ? A GM who as recently as four years ago wasted his draft on special teams type players thinking ( wrongly AGAIN ) that his roster was so set after ONE 13-3 record in a SEA of 9-7,5-11, 6-10, etc.
David Moore: You don't sound all that optimistic about the May draft.
Question: when you buy a car franchise you can't just do whatever you want to with it. Do you think the NFL should institute a policy that purchasing a team doesn't allow an individual to act as GM. I keep hearing about how people come to see the boys no matter what but this doesn't account for how much money is left on the table because the Cowboys stink. Surely allowing owners to mess up their teams is hurting the brand by virtue of money not realized from losing teams?
David Moore: Remember, the commissioner works for the owners, not the other way around. There is no way any owner is going to pay today's costs to own a franchise then willingly cede control to someone else. You don't pay that sort of money to have less control. You do it to have total control. It will never happen.
Question: Hey how come the Boys fix one thing (offensive line) and another thing falls apart EVERY YEAR ? Why can't this front office walk and chew gum at the same time?
David Moore: You've hit on a key point here. The Cowboys have a consistent pattern of allowing one part of the team fall into disrepair, devoting all of their time and resources to fixing it, then watch another part of the team slip while they do it. When you have as many areas to address as the Cowboys have, that happens. And now that you mention if, I've seen members of the Cowboys walk, but I don't know that I can say they were chewing gum when they did.

Newly-acquired attackman John Christmas scored four goals to lead a balanced attack and the Chesapeake Bayhawks flashed some serious firepower in routing Team England 27-3 in its opening exhibition game on Friday night.
Returning attackman
Andrew "Buggs" Combs also scored four goals for the Bayhawks, who raced to a 13-3 halftime lead and never looked back. Perennial All-Pro midfielder
Kyle Dixon and second-year midfielder
Peet Poillon both fired in three goals for the Bayhawks, who had 10 different players factor in the scoring.
"I thought we looked sharp. Overall, I thought we were unselfish and aggressive offensively," head coach
John Tucker said. "We definitely can score. We always put six guys on the field that are dangerous. Our opposition will have a tough time scouting us."
Brian Vetter totaled three goals and two assists while fellow midfielder
Ben Hunt added two goals and an assist as the Bayhawks thrilled a large, enthusiastic crowd at Severn School.
Josh Coveleski, whom the Bayhawks signed following an open tryout, scored two goals. "I thought we looked great. We were moving the ball really well and finishing our shots," said Dixon, a five-year veteran of the franchise.
General Manager
Spencer Ford has retooled the roster and brought in several new faces, including Christmas – an MLL veteran who was acquired in a trade with Boston. Dixon was happy to be playing alongside his former Virginia teammate again.
"It's great to have another Wahoo on the roster. I haven't seen John play much since we left school, but he's still a terrific athlete with great stick skills," Dixon said.
Faceoff specialist
Alex Smith won 23 draws and the Bayhawks gobbled up 41 ground balls to dominate possession.
Ray Megill and
Joe Cinosky, former Maryland teammates who were picked up during the offseason, anchored a bruising defense that gave England very few open looks.
Michael Evans, coming off an outstanding rookie season, completed the close defense, which made things easy on goalies
Chris Garrity (seven saves) and
Mike Levin.
"I was very pleased with the defense. I think we have some big, strong, athletic kids back there," Tucker said.
Chesapeake will be challenged a bit more on both ends on Saturday night when it plays Major League Lacrosse rival Denver at Severn School. The Outlaws, who lost to Toronto in last year's MLL championship game, who feature a high-powered offense featuring Drew Westervelt, Brendan Mundorf and Brian Langtry along with a stout defense anchored Jesse Schwartzman.
"Denver will be a very good test for where this team stands so everyone should come out and watch that game," Dixon said.
They Bayhawks open their regular season on May 15
th at Navy-Marine Corps Memorial Stadium when they take on the Long Island Lizards at 7 PM. Ticket information is available at

Using direct-fed microbials to protect calf health and promote immune function is addressed in a new publication by the Bovine Alliance on Management and Nutrition (BAMN).
According to the document, the terms "direct-fed microbials" and probiotics are used interchangeably. Probiotics are feed additives that contain microbial species that are considered to be non-pathogenic, normal flora. A probiotic is defined as "a live microbial feed supplement which beneficially affects the host by improving its intestinal microbial balance" (Heyman and Ménard, 2001). Probiotics are also referred to as "direct-fed microbials." The U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) defines direct-fed microbials as "…products that are purported to contain live (viable) microorganisms (bacteria and/or yeast)."
Direct fed microbials (or probiotics) refer to living organisms and should not be confused with prebiotics, compounds that promote the growth of gut bacteria (e.g., yeast culture, oligosaccharides) but are not living organisms. It is believed that gut bacteria have requirements for specific nutrients that may not be adequately provided by the animal's diet. Therefore, feeding these nutrients may promote the growth of gut bacteria, thereby improving the microbial profile in the gut.
Synbiotics contain both a probiotic and prebiotic, which work together to promote healthy intestinal flora.
The goal of feeding probiotics is to support the growth of beneficial bacteria in the digestive tract to:
- Inhibit the growth of infective bacteria
- Improve digestion and nutrient absorption
- Promote the structural and functional development of the immune system
The BAMN authors suggest that adding direct-fed microbials to milk or milk replacer may support calf intestinal integrity and overall health. They say most research has reported little effect of direct-fed microbials on animal growth or feed efficiency. Rather, improved intestinal bacterial flora may reduce the risk of diarrhea, particularly when animals are exposed to significant immunological, environmental or other stressors.

Moore, Karlsson escape unscathed
Robert Karlsson, whose best finish at Quail Hollow is a tie for 24th, is contending in his adopted hometown.
By Helen Ross, PGATOUR.COM
CHARLOTTE, N.C. -- Granted, Robert Karlsson and Ryan Moore each gave a stroke back as they played Quail Hollow's tough three-hole finishing stretch nicknamed "The Green Mile."
But as the leaders were teeing off in the Wells Fargo Championship the two veterans were living proof birdies were to be had on Saturday. Moore birdied five of his first seven holes while Karlsson, the Swede who now lives in Charlotte, made his move up the leaderboard with a 69 that included five birdies.
The two are tied at 6 under, as a result, with John Senden, who shot 67; Derek Ernest and Lee Westwood, who shot 72s, and David Lynn, who birdied the last two holes for his 71. Even better, they are only two strokes off the lead.
"I got off to a hot start," Moore acknowledged. "It was a pretty tough, blustery, windy day and the course is playing long. So you had a lot of long irons, hybrids and even fairway woods into the par 4s. So obviously to get into a off to a hot start like that was great.
"I found myself in a little bit of trouble on the back nine and kind of started missing some fairways but I was able to scramble and keep it a reasonable round."
Karlsson, who lives about 20 minutes from Quail Hollow, birdied the first hole for the third time this week. He agreed with Moore about the conditions.
"It's nice to come off to a good start and play well and manage to keep it going," he said. "It's very testing conditions out there. We've got a lot of wind and the greens are not easy to hole a lot of putts on. So it's very important to keep patient and keep going because you never know what's going to happen. If you get a good streak, it could be very good."
The weather is expected to worsen on Sunday and tournament officials have moved tee times up in hopes of getting play complete before the worst of the rain arrives. Players will be sent off in threesomes from 6:45-9:45 a.m.
"I hope the weather holds off," Moore said. "If something pretty tough hits us first thing in the morning I'm not sure what they're going to do to the event. Hopefully it holds off until the afternoon like they're thinking. I'm just gonna go off, keep my head down and see what happens."
"It's obviously not ideal to tee off on Sunday at 7 o'clock in the morning," Karlsson said. "But we'll have to do what we can to get the round finished if the weather's going to be really bad. We're getting used to this this year. We've had a lot of bad weather, and we just need to deal with it."

Dogzilla Ranks In Buzzfeed's "25 Most Popular Food Trucks of 2013" Listicle!
Son Thai and Martin Tse: Social media studs
Photo by Josue Rivas
While zoning out on BuzzFeed, I came across a story featuring previous On the Line subject, Martin Tse (Actually, it was his luxe lonchera, Dogzilla-- but close enough.) As I perused the list, it occurred to me that they were the only true Orange County food truck representation to make it on there. So as far as I'm concerned, congratulations are in order.
The article ranked the top loncheras of the year, based on Foursquare check-ins and overall ratings. Okay, they were joined by the Little Red Wagon serving their own dogs out of Mickey Mouse country. Should that even count? It's not like they do roundups. Or have free parking. Then again, Dogzilla scored a 9 out of 10, while the Little Red only earned 8.4. Take that, wagon wheel!
When you're up against fan favorites out of Los Angeles, New York and Austin, it's cool to know the Dogzilla crew can hold its own. The recommended weiner: A Yakisoba dog topped with an egg. Go figure. Hi-fives all around!

The Huskies started last season 0-10, but built momentum the second time through the Northwest Suburban Conference schedule going 4-6, including wins at Armstrong and Elk River and home against Centennial, to finish 4-16 in 10th place in the conference and 5-22 overall.
Andover returns key guards, including 6-1 junior guard Kyle Kettler who averaged 12 points and five rebounds per game. He also led the team in assists. Kettler was the team's second leading scorer and rebounder and has even more upside according to second-year coach Nick Tibesar. "[He's] an extremely intelligent player with explosive athleticism," Tibesar said. Fellow junior guard Connor Wilkie and sophomore point guard Jake McNallan give the Huskies three solid guards who contribute in different ways. Wilkie, at 6-5, led the team in blocks while averaging 9.2 points and three rebounds per game last season. He will be looked on to lead with his strong shooting and has the skills to play anywhere on the court. McNallan averaged just five points per game in 2011-12, but led the team in steals. Tibesar said McNallan's an athletic guard who played a key defensive role last year, primarily going against the opposition's best ball handler.
Size and depth are two areas the Huskies lack while athleticism, intelligence and versatility will be strengths, according to Tibesar.
After reaching the section semifinals the last two years and records of 13-14 and 11-17 over the last two seasons Anoka has nearly all new faces on the floor this season. Senior captain Malcom Seals is the only returning starter and Zach Engen shares captain duties. Seals has a chance for a great season after playing more of a complementary role with standout Marcus Tyus last season. New coach Matt Fletcher has brought in an entirely new coaching staff after Paul Broberg's exit after nine seasons.
Coon Rapids
The Cardinals were bounced in the first round of sections by Osseo while compiling a 7-20 record. Coon Rapids coach Ryan Green begins his fourth season with the team without any major contributors from last season. The Cardinals will rely on outworking the opposition for wins and have to learn how to play at the varsity level quickly in order to have success. "We have to come up with loose balls, take charge and dominate on the boards and defensive end," Green said.
Legacy Christian
Legacy Christian posted a 12-16 record and was bounced from sections in the first round. Senior captains are Connor Peterson, who missed last season with a broken hand, and 6-5 post Colton Richards. Junior captain Luke Anderson will be what coach JP Lindgren describes as "the hustle leader." Sophomore Nate Bertsch brings back plenty of varsity experience after playing as a freshman point guard.
Lindgren hopes the team unity he already sees will translate into wins. "They are ready and excited for the challenge that lies ahead," he said.
Spring Lake Park
Last season's North Suburban Conference and Section 3AAA runners-up graduated its top two scorers and best defender but return the core from a 23-6 (13-3) record last season. The Panthers return senior captain Robert Ben, who averaged 10.8 points/7.3 rebounds per game last season, along with senior captain Justin Axelson (2.4 ppg, 3.1 rpg) and Gary Cook (6.6 ppg, 3 rpg). Junior TC Robinson also returns after averaging 5.7 points per game and 2.6 rebounds last winter.
Spring Lake Park head coach Grant Guzy is back for his 21st season with the club.
St. Francis
Coach Ryan Hauge returns with the same staff for his fourth season on the bench at St. Francis. The Saints are coming off a 9-17 campaign and lost in the section opener, but return plenty of experience with the exception of guard Andy Julkowski, who graduated. Senior captains are Bryce Gilbertson and Ben Monnier. Fellow senior Gabe Nelson will be another veteran to provide key leadership. Hauge said a strong junior class will make an impact on the roster, including Jake Johson. "Jake made a name for himself this summer as a versatile big man and will be heavily counted on," Hauge said. Captain Cody Wald brings in experience as a point guard as a freshman and sophomore and should help control the pace of the game for the Saints.
Defense, rebounds and toughness are three aspects Hauge stresses for success. "Section 7AAAA is wide open this year and the Saints have the talent to score with our opponents, but our ability to defend and finish defensive possessions with rebounds will determine if we can compete for a section title," he said.
PACT Charter School
The Panthers added former Braham standout and Bethel University player Josh Coleman to the coaching staff as the JV coach. PACT is coming off a 9-17 season and first-round section exit but returns leading scorer Drew Zieroth, who passed the 1,000-point career mark last winter, averaging more than 20 points per game. Look for juniors Danny Mooers and Daniel Nelson to contribute as a guard and forward, respectively, and senior post Austin Stone in the middle.
Blaine coach Mark Arzdorf did not respond to requests for preseason information.

FORT LEE (WRIC) – The 54th Quartermaster Company from Fort
Lee got a hero's farewell from family and friends Wednesday afternoon.
soldiers are deploying to support operation enduring freedom.
"I feel ready," says Gabriel Galdeano. "I'm ready to do what I need to
It's bittersweet for families as they support their loves ones but their
also hearts break that this deployment means a six-month separation.
"I'm excited, but yet I'm leaving my husband and two kids behind,"
says Eternity Berrious. "They know of it but don't understand the drastic
concept of momma being gone. They'll realize it once I'm gone that I won't be
coming back for a little while."
For some soldiers, this deployment is a first. Others have been down this
road before.
All doing it now for friends, family, strangers, they're serving our country.
The 54th Quartermaster Company is one of the army's only two active duty mortuary
affairs units.

Mr MITCHELL (McEwen) (19:02): I am pleased to rise today to speak on the Gillard Labor government's Classification (Publications, Films and Computer Games) Amendment (R18+ Computer Games) Bill 2012. We on this side of the House understand the importance the video game industry has both to Australian gamers and to the Australian economy. We understand that what Australia needs is a framework to allow R18+ rating for video games. This bill will bring computer games into line with the classification system for other media and entertainment industries, making Australia more consistent with international standards. Labor is delivering an R18+ classification which will provide protection against adult material for children, freedom of choice for adult gamers and support for our nation's growing industry of video game developers and retailers.
This is a bill that also strongly supports Australian families and small businesses. The current system of classification for video games falls short and fails to adequately safeguard our children against the adult themes of certain games. This is why we are delivering this important reform. As it stands, the 'MA15+ or nothing' system of restriction means that explicit games are either banned altogether or made available to those under 18. This bill will put an end to that. The bill will mean that games are able to be appropriately marketed to the adult consumers. The bill will ensure that violent games which ought to be labelled R18+ can be sold as such without parents having the fear that adult material has slipped through the cracks into an MA15+ classification based on things like how much blood is seen. Too often we see games which in every other country are exclusively sold to adults classed as acceptable for children at the age of 15. Only last year we saw an Australian made game, LA Noire, receive an MA15+ classification, the very lowest classification it received across the world. Across the UK and wider Europe, L.A. Noire received a rating of 18+. The classification board of north America has also limited L.A. Noire to those over the age of 17. Yet in Australia it was to be either banned or put onto the market with a rating of 15+, despite the use of strong violence, crude language, misogyny, sex and drugs. Perhaps even more notably, the company who created it and designed every facet of the game, restricted access to the game's website to over 18s and defined it as an adults only game.
The bill seeks to protect our children from the simulated violence, drug use and sexual themes that come about with adult video games. The government is paying attention and we take notice of the dangers that face our community and we act with determination to fight those dangers. The same could not be said always about the opposition. As recently as August 2010, at a community forum the Leader of the Opposition said that he was not even aware there was a debate on the issue, despite it being across media for the last 2½ years. Meanwhile, our government are taking the action. We are delivering this bill to protect Australian children and parents. We take the risk out of buying video games.
This bill will create the new rating, one which can be seen on the box when you buy the game. This rating will allow parents the ability to make informed decisions about what is and is not acceptable for their children to play. Parents know what is acceptable for their children to play and the Gillard Labor government are recognising that sovereignty. We understand that Australian parents know what is good for their kids. We want parents to see instantly, when they pick up a video game at a store, the realistic and meaningful rating a game has rather than return home to find out later that the game they bought was riddled with gruesome violence or drug use. We are delivering a simple, easy to understand new rating which allows parents to make educated choices, delivering a rating that parents already know and understand. They will recognise it the same way they recognise an R rated movie or television show. With this bill Labor are providing parents with the opportunity to better protect their children through increased awareness and a more accurate rating system. We are providing parents with the recognition that they make good choices for their families.
The bill will also provide for adult gamers, which make up 75 per cent of the Australian gaming community. It will give them their own choice. The Gillard government understand that gamers want to be able to make the choice for themselves and this bill will provide the freedom of choice for those over the age of 18. Three out of four gamers are adults. Yet, as it stands, we do not have an adult rating for video games. So we are taking the steps to remove the uncoordinated and ineffective censorship of Australian adults. This is the same freedom that we enjoy every day. We decide which DVDs we buy, which books we read and which movies we see. Now Labor are ensuring that Australians can enjoy the same freedom when it comes to gaming. The average Australian gamer is not 15 or 16 or even 18; they are 32 years of age and that number is increasing. More than ever adults are playing video games. They are people who have spent more than a decade making their own decisions. They can already go to a DVD store and rent a R18+ film. Now, this bill will allow them to exercise that same choice at their local gaming store.
Often, games fail to make the Australian market based on specific qualities of their content. Fallout 3, for example, was banned not for its violence but its drug use. Drug use is not something that Australian adults are unaware of. Any adult can go down to their local DVD store and rent movies like Pulp Fiction. We can go to a library and rent Trainspotting. Similarly, games like Mortal Kombat have been banned due to extreme violence—the same violence that we see in many films and novels. As adults, we have been afforded the choice to watch films like Scarface, Silence of the Lambsor The Human Centipede, or we can read American Psycho or AClockwork Orange. Now Labor are bringing the video game industry into line with film and literature. We recognise that if adults can make the choice elsewhere, they can make the choice when buying video games.
Our communities deserve the right to choose, to know that their own judgments are being respected across any medium. I am proud to speak on a bill today that will give Australians that respect. The introduction of an R18+ rating classification for video games will do a lot to better support gamers and parents of young gamers. The bill will also provide a boost to the gaming industry for developers and retailers. For game developers, this bill means no longer needing to censure their content to reach Australian markets. Small developers cannot always afford to go through the editing process, removing small elements such as blood pooling and high-definition graphics just to get their foot in the door. For the benefit of those opposite I will make it very clear. It takes time and it costs money. Editing a game to suit a particular country is simply not done. It is a slow and tedious task and in some cases requires the diminution of the integrity of the developer's work. Altering a game into which you have already put so much hard work for what on a global scale is a very small market is not exactly creating a great incentive. For small Australian developers the burden of the current classification system means that they may never see their hard work come to fruition locally. Companies like Rockstar, which is an Australian company, have produced some of the best quality video games around. But they have the same issue if they have to cut and paste different things and destroy the integrity of their games to get them into our market.
Through protecting our children against violent adult themes do we also protect the developers against the legal ramifications if children act out what they see in the games? By taking the adult content out of the reach of children we are preventing the imitation of violent games, which could often lead to legal action against developers. Game developers should not be victims of a broken classification system. When they create adult games marketed to adults there should not be a fear of litigation when their product ends up in the wrong hands.
The Gillard Labor government is committed to keeping violence, drug use, profane language and sexually explicit content out of the hands of our children. We are committed to protecting Australian businesses against unjust lawsuits as a result of a classification system they have no control over. The game industry is estimated to reach $2.5 billion annually by 2015. It is vital that we support this growing trade in this new economy and that we manage the clunky boundaries that dissuade our developers from keeping their businesses here in Australia. The bill will ensure both local and international game developers are able to get their games on the Australian market so that developers and retailers do not miss out. As the games reach Australian soil we can expect to see a boost to game retailers.
Australian gamers are very loyal to their local businesses. The majority of gamers prefer to buy their games from local retailers. However, as highly celebrated games reach international markets and fail to make the Australian MA15 grade, gamers often lean into video game piracy. Gamers face serious fines for importing games that have not been given a classification in Australia, so more and more are turning to internet piracy to obtain the games they want. Our government realises that piracy can have a serious impact on an industry. For Australian game developers and retailers piracy is a very real threat. Small developers depend on trade to support their businesses.
We have recognised that Australian gamers want to buy locally and we have taken action to ensure they can. Supporting our economy means ensuring small businesses such as these have the safeguards to stay afloat with their own means. Labor is working hard to protect Australian enterprises.
The introduction of R18+ restricted classification for video games is an important step for our country. With the ubiquity of gaming mediums—PCs, consoles and smart phones—we can expect gaming to be a growing source of entertainment for Australians. It is essential that we address the risks posed to Australian children and businesses. It is also desirable that we allow adults the opportunity to lead autonomous lives. On this side of the House we are getting the job done. I am very proud to be part of a government that is delivering vital reform to the classification Act. This is a bill that I know has the support of my nephews Nick, Chris and Michael, who are very passionate about their games and very passionate about seeing an R18+ classification.

Sue Wallis will be missed dearlyFeb 11, 2014 Steven R. Doyle
Sue Wallis, a state representative from Recluse, passed away last week. Many in Fremont County had the pleasure of working with her on several issues over the past few years, and we feel a great loss.
Most of your readers knew Rep. Wallis if only because she stood for issues that were sure to put her in the public limelight -- or crosshairs, depending on orientation.Sue was a libertarian -- pure Wyoming, if you ask me. Her challenges to the status quo put her at odds with both of our grand parties from time to time.Sue stood up for women's reproductive rights. She took the lead in reforming marijuana laws.She maintained a running battle with state regulators to allow citizens to buy produce directly from farmers.She stood up for property rights -- equine processing being part and parcel of that fight. Sue was no shrinking violet.
I will miss her dearly. I will miss her friendship and her leadership. Sue firmly held that our lives would be far richer without the heavy hand of government on our backs, and she worked tirelessly and courageously towards that end. Thank you so much, Sue.

Hot Canucks in Love: Loverboy's Mike Reno debuts Vancouver fight song
If there's a bright side to the Tampa Bay Lightning losing to Boston in the NHL's Eastern Conference Finals, it's that we won't have to listen to a dreadful new song by Loverboy's Mike Reno to support the Vancouver Canucks.
Reno, who now co-hosts a radio morning show for Vancouver's Classic Rock 101, just released his brand new Canucks anthem Flying High. We're guessing the people in the video are his station coworkers and other scattered Canuck fans, most of whom are probably just happy that 98 percent of America will be rooting against Boston too.
Click here to see the video on Youtube.
By the way, in case you're wondering, despite Reno's new daytime gig, it doesn't appear that Loverboy has broken up. The band is in the middle of a summer tour of North America right now in fact.

Public Trustee Jeanne Whiddon confirmed that Community Banks of Colorado, holder of the original deed in the luxury townhome project, Chadwick Estates Villas here, was the sole bidder in a foreclosure sale at the Routt County Courthouse on April 6.
Community Banks filed a foreclosure notice on Steamboat developers Richard Friedman and Brooks Kellogg in October 2010 seeking unpaid principle of $11.75 million. The original amount of the note was $12.5 million.
The foreclosure filing pertained to four townhomes and undeveloped land off Eagleridge Drive. A fifth townhome, which had previously sold, was not involved.
The developers had hoped to build 20 of the three-story units, which they expected to sell for about $2.3 million.

Colorado bill targets private transfer fees
The Associated Press
Colorado legislators have sponsored a new law that would protect Colorado homeowners by restricting private transfer fees. Senate Bill 11-234 would ban the transfer fees, a relatively new financial scheme that steals home equity, lowers home resale values and adds another layer of difficulty to selling a home, according to detractors who include the Colorado Bar Association.
The bill is supported by a variety of organizations, including the Land Title Association of Colorado, the Colorado Bar Association, the Community Associations Institute, the Colorado Mortgage Lenders Association, and the Colorado Association of Realtors.
"It is great to see legislators standing up for homeowners by protecting consumers from these predatory fees," said Chris Payne, a member of the real estate section of the Colorado Bar Association. "This bill will be an important step in safeguarding our already fragile real estate market from abuse."
The fees require that a percentage of the sale price of a home be paid to a private third party every time the property is sold, typically for 99 years. Freehold is attempting to bundle and securitize these fees, and sell them to Wall Street investors.
Homeowner association fees are not restricted by the language in S.B. 11-234. HOA fees, paid by homeowners in many Colorado cities and towns for services such as maintenance of common areas in their developments, provide a direct benefit to the community in which a home is located.
The bill is the latest in a series of government actions to limit private transfer fees. Arizona, Arkansas, California, Delaware, Florida, Hawaii, Illinois, Idaho, Iowa, Kansas, Louisiana, Maryland, Minnesota, Mississippi, Missouri, Nebraska, New Jersey, North Carolina, Ohio, Oregon, South Dakota, Texas, Utah and Virginia have all passed legislation to restrict the dangerous fees. Colorado is one of many states with pending legislation.
On the federal level, the Federal Housing Finance Agency has issued a proposed rule that would prevent government-sponsored entities from investing in mortgages with these fees.

Colleges Can Snoop On Your Email at Any Time
"If reading the deans' email is really OK by the book, why didn't they just ask the deans who leaked the memo, threatening to read their email if no one came forward?" said Harry Lewis, a computer scientist and former dean of the college who helped draft its current email privacy policy for faculty. "Why not tell them what was being done if it was really an OK thing to do?"
The problem stemmed with the search seeming to violate Harvard's privacy policy, which stated that only in "in extraordinary circumstances such as legal proceedings and internal Harvard investigations" could the school search its employees' email records. A dean leaking info about cheating students really isn't a circumstance that could "bring down" our nation's richest university, the faculty argued. So it wasn't worth the school breaking its privacy policy. The Globe had caught Harvard trying to find out what dean had put the school in an embarrassing situation. They'd caught it with its hands in the cookie jar. (Actually this is Cambridge we're talking about here—they probably only have fucking biscotti jars, or something.)
But here's the thing: In most employee-employer situations, the employer can legally go through his employees' company email for just about any reason. "When employers don't have explicit policies about email searches, employees don't have a reasonable expectation of privacy when using work email accounts or work computers. The only case in which an employee might have a reasonable expectation of privacy would be if the employer explicitly stated that employees should have such an expectation." A situation where the employer lays out, up-front, that you have an expectation of privacy is a situation that almost never happens. Harvard didn't have that agreement with its faculty. It probably can't be legally punished.
This got me thinking. Does this lack of protection also apply to your college email account? Surely not, right? After all, employers provide company email for their employees, they pay said employees, AND they have legal precedent on their side. But the college student-university relationship is totally different, right? You're paying colleges to use their WiFi and their .edu address. Apples and oranges.
Nope. Colleges can warrantlessly go through your university emails, too. Seriously. According to Staff Attorney of the Electronic Frontier Foundation Hanni Fakhoury, who I emailed today:
"College students are also susceptible to having unwarranted email investigations on their university emails. The law generally prohibits the provider of an electronic communications service to disclose the contents of an email to another person or the government. There are a few exceptions, and one of the big ones is consent, meaning the user may agree to the release of their emails. Ultimately, when a person signs up for their university email (i.e., firstname.lastname@example.com) that long, dense terms of service filled with lots of legal language may indicate circumstances where the university could review emails. So it's important for students to know what these policies or terms say."
What does this mean? It means that any shady business you talk about or joke about with your buddies—cough, cough: underage drinking, drug use, pledging—really shouldn't be mentioned over your university email system and with your .edu email address. If your college thinks it has a decent reason, it can search your records. And you've probably signed away any privacy rights because, odds are, you didn't read that long terms of service agreement when you got your school email address as a high school senior.
So be careful out there. And sign up for a Gmail account already.
Post-Sad appears every week.

Is there anything out there to help this problem? I hate when I wear shorts or a skirt and look down at my sagging skin on my knees. Is there anyway to tighten this skin up? age 57
What's the Best Treatment for Sagging Skin on my Knees?
Doctor Answers 2
You may expect modest improvement with Thermage.
Hi! This is a tough problem that we see not infrequently in our plastic surgery practice in New York City. Surgery is not an option because the scars are unacceptable.
You can try Thermage. It is safe, there is no anesthesia, no recovery period, and no scars. But you have to have very realistic expectations. We almost always see improvement, but it can be subtle.
But what I have learned is that even a little improvement here (like in the arms) makes women happy.
To get a result from Thermage, it has to be done just right, and enough energy needs to be used. So try to find a doctor with experience. The Thermage website may help.
Sagging Knee Skin Tightening
Thermi is injectable energy which is placed directly under the skin, in contrast to procedures like Ulthera and Thermage. This allows more precise tightening in exactly the right areas. Thermi is different in that it uses infrared cameras to heat the tissues to the exact proper temperature, so there is no guesswork.
Patients have some swelling after the procedure which usually resolves in about 7-10 days. The results are impressive.
ThermiTight was originally designed for tightening loose neck skin, but now is being used to tighten skin all over the body, including breasts, thighs and elbows.
