Haberek's role remains unclear in town talks over Pawcatuck woman's lawsuit
Stonington - The other two members of the Board of Selectmen say they have not yet decided whether they will call upon First Selectman Ed Haberek to step down from upcoming discussions about how the town should handle the Tracy Swain lawsuit.
The Pawcatuck woman has sued the town and Haberek saying that in January of 2010 he sent her "sexually graphic photos of himself" using his town-issued BlackBerry.
At last week's Board of Finance meeting, in which board members expressed concern about the legal fees the town may incur from the lawsuit, Town Attorney Thomas Londregan said a decision about whether to fight the lawsuit or settle it will rest with the Board of Selectmen.
Some finance board members are concerned that Haberek appears to have a conflict of interest in that decision because it is his alleged conduct that led to the suit. After the meeting, Haberek said it is too early to say whether he would recuse himself from the discussion about how to handle the case.
He also pointed out that he is named in most every lawsuit filed against the town by virtue of being the town's chief elected official.
Selectmen George Crouse, who was Haberek's Democratic running mate in the last two elections, said he doesn't know enough about the lawsuit yet to decide whether he thinks Haberek should remove himself from discussions about the suit.
"I need to see all the facts and talk to the town attorney," he said. "But rest assured I will do what is right for the town and to protect the town."
Republican Selectwoman Glee McAnanly said she too wants to get all the facts and review the situation so she can "come to a thoughtful conclusion."
She said that once she feels she has enough information, she will discuss her position at a Board of Selectmen meeting.
Last week, Haberek and Londregan said the town will no longer oppose attempts by Swain to obtain evidence from a cellphone company that she claims will show that Haberek sent her the photos.
The town had taken legal action to a stop her from obtaining copies of the alleged photos, as well as the content of emails and text messages sent from Haberek's phone number from Verizon, the town's cellphone provider. Town officials hope the change in strategy will help extricate the town from the lawsuit.
But Swain's suit also charges that the town allowed Haberek to contact Swain inappropriately, let him transmit graphic photos of himself using town equipment, failed to monitor Haberek's communications and failed to enforce a policy regarding proper use of town equipment and electronic communications.
Swain's suit states that prior to Jan. 12, 2010, Haberek had extensive telephone, email, text message and Facebook communication with her. When Swain told him on that date to stop sending the messages, he allegedly sent her the photos of himself. Swain has said that Haberek told her he sent those messages while he was in his office.

The Topeka Capital-Journal TECUMSEH, Kan. - As he led a tour at his 106-acre family dairy farm during a fall festival Saturday morning, Tim Iwig was cautiously optimistic about the future of his business just east of Topeka. Iwig, who is striving to bring his farm out of bankruptcy by finding additional funding streams, said an investor - a woman from the Topeka area - recently came forward with $250,000. That financial commitment is helping Iwig breathe a little easier.
But monetary challenges remain, and Iwig said he needs another individual or "a group of investors" to step forward with an additional quarter-million dollars to get the business in position to branch out with additional retail outlets, which he said is the key to the farm's long-term viability. "We plan to open three more stores," Iwig said. "We're looking at west Topeka, west Lawrence, Overland Park and Manhattan." Some of the new dairy stores could incorporate such features as locally grown produce and meat, as well as drive-through lanes for customer convenience. The multigeneration Iwig family farm has been raising cows since 1910. In 2005, it branched out into processing and bottling milk and selling it at local retail stores. Iwig said his farm's milk products are worth the extra costs, as they are produced in small batches with a low-heat pasteurization process. The result, he said, is tastier milk products. Iwig's dairy sells the milk in reusable milk bottles, which also contribute to the taste. For several years, Iwig's milk products were offered at larger grocery stores, such as Dillons. However, Iwig's products now are sold exclusively at three small outlets run by the business. A store in Lawrence was closed after customers complained it was out of the way and had poor parking access. In 2010, the dairy, which has about 65 milk cows at present, sold more than $200,000 worth of shares to help repay past debt. The cash infusion helped alleviate financial woes. Then came the drought of 2011 and 2012, which doubled and tripled the cost of cattle feed as corn and hay prices went through the roof. The added feed costs were a dagger to Iwig's farm at a time when it least could afford it. Iwig on Saturday lamented that grain farmers were eligible for federal crop assistance related to the past two years of drought, yet dairy farmers like himself weren't eligible for the funding. In November 2012, the farm filed for Chapter 12 bankruptcy reorganization in an effort to avoid liquidation. The dairy listed $696,053 in assets and $1,177,573 in liabilities at the time of the filing, with $677,222 of the liabilities going to Kaw Valley Bank for a loan that purchased equipment and 120 cows of various types. Thanks to near-normal precipitation in 2013, corn and hay prices have gone back down, easing for the moment Iwig's concerns over high grain prices. But the need for financial help continues. In September, the dairy announced plans to raise $650,000 in 45 days through online donations to pay off debt as the business worked to exit bankruptcy. Donation options ranging from $5 to $10,000 at Indiegogo.com are marked to save increments of square feet on the 108-acre farm. Donors also can get naming rights to new calves. As of Saturday, $5,850 had been donated through the Indiegogo.com website. Pledges were to be used to pay creditors and proceed with the planned expansion of new stores. Paul and Annie Stevens, of Lawrence, were among visitors at Saturday's fall festival. The couple frequently purchases milk at the Iwig store in North Lawrence. Annie Stevens told Iwig that she wanted to help "spread the word" about the dairy and encourage others to purchase products from Iwig. "It's the heart and soul of what the Midwest is all about," she said. "Small family farms that produce milk that doesn't have to travel across state lines." She said there is a noticeable difference in the way Iwig milk tastes. "I'd much rather have this milk," she said. "It tastes so much better." Besides a tour of the bottling plant, the free fall festival included a bonfire, horse-drawn wagons rides, a chain saw wood carver, pony rides, milking demonstrations, bluegrass music and food items made fresh on a grill.

The woman who owned our guest house made this memorable dinner for us. Okay, I'll admit that it doesn't look like the most delicious thing ever, but it is - don't be fooled by its humble appearance! It is basically a casserole layered with choucroute (sauerkraut), liver dumplings, and sausages. The choucroute was unlike any sauerkraut I had before: it was only mildly sour and it still had hints of green, both in appearance and taste.
When I returned to the States, I just had to eat more sauerkraut. However, store bought sauerkraut was just as awful as I remembered it, which meant that my only choice was to make it myself.
Making sauerkraut seemed relatively simple, the real stuff is just cabbage and salt, but I was skeeved out by the fermenting vessel. Most instructions I read talked about making your 'kraut in a plastic bucket with a pillowcase over it. Yuck. Those same instructions talked about how it is important to monitor your 'kraut and to skim off any white scum that floats to the top. Double yuck.
Enter the Harsch crock. Although wonderful sauerkraut can be made without it, it made a lot less scary to have this tool on my side since it eliminates the "skim off the white scum" step that it is most 'kraut recipes.
Are you interested in tasting what real sauerkraut? Unless you have an awfully good supplier in your neighborhood, tasting fresh sauerkraut means making it yourself. So, here's my method for making tasty 'kraut. You can click on the pictures if you would like to see a larger image.
Tools you'll need:
- Knife
- Cutting board
- Kitchen scale
- Food processor with a slicer blade (not necessary, but a huge time saver)
- Crock and weight stones
- Masher (I use a French rolling pin)
- Pen and paper
- Calculator
- Cabbage
- Kosher or sea salt
Start with green cabbages. In my neighborhood, I can find organic green cabbage at Monterey Market and El Cerrito Natural Foods. Pick cabbages that seem unusually heavy when you pick them up. Give them a good rinse in the sink and let them dry.
Next, use the knife to halve, and then quarter, each cabbage on the cutting board. Use the cabbage's core as its centerline. Once the cabbage is quartered, you can easily cut out its core.
Weigh the cabbage and write down this number. You'll need it later when you have to calculate the needed amount of salt.
Slice the cabbage using the thinnest slicer blade on your food processor (a mandolin or even a knife can be used instead to slice the cabbage).
Now, it is time to calculate how much salt you'll need. Grab that piece of paper with the cabbage's weight. What you're going to do is to calculate 2% of that weight. This resulting number is how much salt you'll add to your cabbage. For example, if you have 1000 grams of cabbage, you'll need 20 grams of salt because 1000 g X .02 = 20 grams. Use the scale to measure your salt.
Here comes the fun part! First, put a layer of salt on the bottom of the crock, and then place a layer of sliced cabbage. Repeat until the salt and cabbage is all in the crock.
Pick up that stick, channel your teenage angst, and mash that cabbage!
As you mash, liquid from the cabbage will release, resulting in a satisfying "walking through the mud with rain boots" sound.
Since I like to ferment around 8 pounds of cabbage at a time, I repeat these steps a few times until my 7.5 liter crock is at capacity.
When your crock is full, place the weight stones on top of them. They should press down on the cabbage with enough force for the stones to be submerged.
Stick the lid on your crock, fill the gutter with water (if your crock has one), and let it sit in a cool, dry place. The temperature in my house fluctuates between 55-65 deg F, and at this temperature, it takes 4 weeks for my sauerkraut to be ready to eat. Once I like the consistency and taste of my sauerkraut, I store it in the refrigerator to slow down the fermentation process.
Enjoy! If you have any questions or make this using these instructions, please let me know in the comments section.

Do you trust that you have all the information you need to make critical decisions? Are you confident that the data you do have is accurate? Since the beginning of the digital era, government agencies have been collecting and storing data in systems built for specific tasks or programs. The ability to share data across these systems gives government the opportunity to improve how it conducts business. Bringing data together from multiple sources offers agencies unprecedented insight into citizens, programs, services, departments, organizations, providers, and employees.
But for this to work successfully, you must be able to trust the data. Without trust, you open yourself and your agency to a variety of problems:
To address these challenges, you need to create a single, trusted view of data by mastering your mission-critical, operational data. Not only will mastering data ensure accuracy and completeness, you'll also expose relationships among the mastered entities, such as between people, programs, and supplies.
Informatica's solution takes information from multiple sources and creates a complete, accurate, and reliable master record. The software identifies the data and then provides visibility into discovered relationships—even when that data is stored in different formats. It transforms inconsistent, duplicate, and conflicting data into a single version of the truth—a golden record of all the critical entities associated with your agency or program.
With a single, trusted view of all data, your agency can keep up with increased demand for services, security threats, and pressures to increase efficiency and transparency.

Through artwork, archival photos and documents, photomurals, and didactic materials, the exhibition tells the story of archaeologist William Matthew Flinders Petrie (1853-1942) and his exploration of ancient Egyptian civilization.
The show features more than 200 of Petrie's most significant finds. The objects, hidden away in secret storage facilities throughout London at the beginning of World War II, have not been displayed until now. They include: one of the world's oldest garments, a rare beaded-net dress from the Pyramid Age, circa 2400 B.C.; a fragment of mankind's first history book from 2400 B.C.; the earliest examples of metalwork in Egypt; the earliest examples of glass – so rare the Egyptians classed it with precious gems; the oldest "blueprint," written on papyrus; the first royal monument, from the reign of the legendary Scorpion King, from 3100 B.C.
Of particular note in the exhibition, are the elaborately-decorated coffin and cartonnage body case of the priest of Duaneteref from the twenty-second dynasty (c.945-715 B.C.) from the Bolton Museum in England that were excavated by Petrie in 1888. A video slide show shows the conservation process of the coffins. The exhibition also includes funerary objects: canopic jars, a gold mummy mask, papyrus texts from the Book of the Dead, a panel portrait from the Roman period, writing instruments, cosmetic implements, games and playing pieces, weights and measures, weaponry, ancient tools, and Egyptian masons' models for pyramid building. Also of note is royal art from the heretic pharaoh Akhenaten and his wife, Nefertiti's palace-city of Amarna; a bust of Caesarion, the son of Cleopatra and Julius Caesar; and a rare depiction of the pharaoh Khufu, builder of the great pyramid.

Earlier today, Steve sat down with Will Ferrell for Casa de mi Padre, and learned some good news and some bad news. Bad news first: Anchorman 2 remains dead. There were places for a sequel to go, but the movie isn't going anywhere. Now the good news: you may remember that last May, Ferrell said he, John C. Reilly, and writer-director Adam McKay were considering a sequel to Step Brothers. Today, Ferrell told Steve that they are going to start writing a script really soon with the hope of filming it in the fall.
That's a fairly quick turnaround. In June, we heard that McKay and Ferrell were considering the football comedy Three Mississippi. The movie is about two Philadelphia neighbors whose annual Thanksgiving game of tackle football has become extraordinarily heated. I like that premise, but you won't hear me complaining if Step Brothers 2 goes in front of cameras first. I'm always up for a fuckin' Catalina wine mixer. Look for part of Steve's interview later today (we'll update this article) but until then, watch the trailer for the first Step Brothers after the jump.

According to the estimable Ken Rosenthal, Keith Law of ESPN—last seen around these parts ragging on Moneyball—interviewed with the Houston Astros for a position (Rosenthal mentions scouting director) in their front office. Law just tweeted, "My day just got a lot more interesting."
The transition from writing to scouting wouldn't be new to him—Law worked in the Blue Jays' front office from 2002-06, a gig he got after writing for Baseball Prospectus for several years—and Law already does a great deal of scouting for ESPN now. (Unfortunately, he spends most of his time behind the ESPN Insider paywall—you probably can't read him unless some well-meaning relative signed you up for an ESPN: The Magazine subscription with Insider benefits.)
Rosenthal says the Astros haven't yet offered Law a position, but keep in mind that Law, 38, attended a selective undergraduate institution outside of Boston with a good track record in job placement. With any luck, he'll be freed from the Worldwide Leader, and we'll still have the Top Chef recaps. One hopes, anyway.

1-on-1 with Michigan Gov. Rick Snyder hours after he approves right-to-work law
Michigan governor says right-to-work became huge issue after unions pushed Proposal 2 on ballot
LANSING, Mich. – The Michigan governor is obviously facing a lot of criticism Tuesday night after he signed right-to-work bills into law.
However, Gov. Rick Snyder has kept his cool amid the onslaught of protest and screams of disappointment. Local 4's Devin Scillian got a chance to sit down with Snyder at his Lansing office.
The interview started with how he arrived at his decision to allow right-to-work. Snyder had said for a long time he was not interested in pushing right-to-work in this state. However, he says the fight that started with Proposal 2 left him little choice.
Watch full interview: Devin Scillian interviews Gov. Snyder on right-to-work law
"We spent time talking to labor leaders, leadership people about how to avoid this as a topic," Snyder said. "It was clear that wasn't working. It was going to continue to be a problem. So good leadership is you've got a big problem, you step up and make a decision and I believe I made a good decision because it's about worker choice and jobs."

Snyder chose to wear a tie on Tuesday, knowing there was history in the making. The commotion outside his office window all day let him know that not everyone agrees with the kind of history he is making. Does the anger in the Democratic caucus now make it impossible to get anything else done?
"Well it does make it more challenging, but I hope people step back and have an opportunity to reflect on this and calm down and really not ask the question about fighting with me," the governor said. "Because if you're an elected official, I don't fight with any elected official or anyone in the public sector, because our common goal should be how do we best serve our citizens, our customer? Fighting has no value between us."
A governor who has never had much taste for politics has reason to worry. Already, important legislation seems imperiled by Democrats no reluctant to get behind anything the governor supports. Things such as the new Ilitch arena complex for downtown Detroit, and others.
Read: Ilitch's $650M development proposal is more than new arena
"Or look at the Detroit lighting. I've been a big proponent of the Detroit lighting proposal. What value would there be in having Detroit Democrats vote against Detroit lighting? The lights need to come on in Detroit. An arena would be great for job creation. So it wouldn't be good out of spite or animosity to vote against those things because that's hurting our customers," Snyder said.

Founder of AOC, Daisy Froud for the 2014 AJ Women in Architecture Awards
Daisy Froud co-founded AOC in 2003 and took up the role as the practice's head of participation in 2010. During 2013 the practice has completed a new build extension to St Saviour's & St Olave's Secondary School in Southwark and gained planning for housing and a community centre in Nunhead, as well as a cultural centre in Willesden Green. Froud sits on two London borough design review panels and is a built environment expert for CABE. She also teaches architectural history and theory at the Bartlett School of Architecture and at the University of Brighton.
Why did you choose architecture? I went into architecture in my mid 20s when, through reading theorists like Henri Lefebvre, I became aware of the ways in which power and agency are channelled through, and expressed by, space. As a non-professional myself, I wanted to be part of creating opportunities for my fellow citizens to play a significant and appropriate role in decision-making about buildings and places, informed by a consciousness of the potential implications of those decisions. I was particularly interested in the specific role of the architect in this activity, in conversation with the future user or inhabitant.
What is your design ethos? The design of the process is as important as the design of the formal outcome. You will only get the best possible outcome by placing that equal emphasis on process, and by carefully considering, and being conscious of, the way in which designs decisions are taken. In terms of design language, we believe in drawing upon existing narratives of place and site, as well as broader cultural narratives of inhabitation and expression, to source visual and spatial references to influence a formal outcome. We sometimes summarise this as a process of 'sampling and synthesising.'
Which architects inspire you? Denise Scott Brown, Sarah Wigglesworth, Liza Fior and Doreen Massey
What would make women stay in the profession? All of us would benefit from more calm, measured working practices. In our practice it has tended to be the men who leave when they have children, probably for very similar reasons to those that make women leave.
What is the biggest challenge facing women in architecture today? The same as faces all of us working in architecture: how to respond to valid concerns and desires at the local or neighbourhood scale in the face of massive structuring forces that operate at a global level.
Place of study Cambridge and the University of London
Current projects a new community centre in Nunhead, south London; a new exhibition and learning space at the Wellcome Trust, London; new housing as part of the north-west Cambridge urban extension, collaborating with Cottrell & Vermeulen and Sarah Wigglesworth; and a primary school in Southwark

Riverside County Supervisor Jeff Stone announced Monday that he will not challenge 20-year Rep. Ken Calvert in 2014 for a seat from a newly drawn district that extends to much of Southwest County.
Stone had been considering a run for the last three months.
"I have been prompted to challenge our incumbent congressman in the upcoming election cycle," Stone said, in a written statement. "However, after serious consideration and consultation with my family and friends, I have decided not to run against Congressman Calvert."
In hinting at a run in January, Stone criticized Calvert for joining other Republicans and Democrats in ratifying the "fiscal cliff" compromise at the first of the year, which sought to head off a return to recession. The move raised income taxes on the wealthiest Americans, but also raised the payroll tax from 4.2 percent to 6.2 percent, trimming most workers' take-home pay.
Stone also blasted the representative from Corona for what he said was Calvert's failure to secure adequate federal funding for the long-delayed Murrieta Creek flood-control project. January marked the 20th anniversary of the devastating 1993 flood that killed six people, caused $100 million in damage and left Old Town Temecula under four feet of water. Progress on an ambitious undertaking to tame the creek has been slow.
Calvert defended his fiscal cliff vote as a necessary safeguard for the economy. And Calvert has said he helped bring home $13 million for the flood-control project ---- part for construction of the first phase south of First Street, and part for design and environmental study for upstream phases.
With the recent congressional moratorium on "earmarks," Calvert said the strategy for snaring funds has shifted to retooling the project so it scores well in a cost-benefit analysis and stands a chance of attracting limited federal money. Local officials are removing the recreational elements and concentrating on the public safety part.
On Monday, Stone sounded a much more conciliatory tone.
"He has promised to work in getting the Murrieta Creek (project) funded along with our local match," Stone said. "And (Calvert) is unquestionably supportive of our strong defense and not allowing Iran to have refined uranium to be used on our soil. He stands strong with Israel and will fight to legislate for a better environment for business retention and job growth in Riverside County. I wish him God's speed in his efforts and stand ready to help him in any way."
The district primary is set for June 2014. The top two finishers, regardless of party affiliation, will face off in the November general election that year.
Political analysts said Stone would have faced an uphill climb trying to unseat Calvert, a moderate Republican who has survived numerous challenges from the left and right, some of them close. A prolific builder of campaign war chests, Calvert has won 11 elections for Congress.
Stone, who would have challenged from the right, has won numerous elections of his own for Temecula City Council and the county Board of Supervisors. He was re-elected last summer to a third four-year term on the board.
Despite his local success, Stone has yet to prevail on a larger regional stage. He was defeated in a 2010 run for state Senate by Sen. Joel Anderson, R-Alpine, to represent a district that stretches far into San Diego County.
And it didn't help that Calvert secured the support of all four of Stone's Republican board colleagues right after the Temecula supervisor publicly stated he was considering a run.
For most of last decade, Calvert represented a territory that wrapped the Corona area in with inland Orange County communities.
The new 42nd Congressional District he represents takes in Corona, Lake Elsinore, Canyon Lake, Wildomar, Murrieta, Menifee, Perris, French Valley, Wine Country and one-fifth of Temecula. It is a heavily GOP district, where Republicans hold a voter registration advantage over Democrats of 141,000 to 94,000.
Stone lives near, but not in the district. Under rules for congressional races, one need only live within the same state.
"I feel very strongly that our country is at a crossroads and we need leaders who will boldly lead and work together, without compromising their principles and put the country first," Stone said. "If the Republican Party does not return to its roots of less government, strong national security and lower taxes, it will legislate itself out of serious contention for any elected office in the future."

While Chrissy Teigen is known for her outspoken ways, the 29-year-old model turned TV host is well aware that her comments are regularly misconstrued.
Case in point? In a recent interview at Lauren Conrad's New York Fashion Week show, Teigen joked to reporters that she's not a fan of any "hot" help and said she keeps any sexy ladies in the service industry away from John Legend, her husband of two years (the couple is celebrating their anniversary Monday).
"No hot nannies, drivers, or maids," the "FabLife" host quipped last week. "It's an ongoing joke in my house. I do want to have kids one day, so it's something that I have to think about. But the rule is no hot nannies. I trust John, but you never know with these men."
U.S. & World
READ: Chrissy Teigen talks wanting a family
Following her remarks, headlines such as "Chrissy Teigen Just Said Something Lame About Hiring Women" began popping up, so naturally, Teigen took to Twitter to clarify her comments, which were made in jest.
"I don't just go into random rants about hot nannies. The post asked, I jokingly answered. It isn't that f--king deep," she tweeted over the weekend.
She added: "just like low carb diet of licking chips, my 'no hot nannies' comment was a joke, clearly lost upon many. what is life. why must i type this."
Refinery29 also responded to the controversy in a Facebook post, writing, We know Chrissy Teigen was just joking around...but this comment was quite regressive & offensive."

Genesis 18:1-16 New International Version (NIV)
The Three Visitors
18 The Lord appeared to Abraham near the great trees of Mamre while he was sitting at the entrance to his tent in the heat of the day. 2 Abraham looked up and saw three men standing nearby. When he saw them, he hurried from the entrance of his tent to meet them and bowed low to the ground.
3 He said, "If I have found favor in your eyes, my lord,[a] do not pass your servant by. 4 Let a little water be brought, and then you may all wash your feet and rest under this tree. 5 Let me get you something to eat, so you can be refreshed and then go on your way—now that you have come to your servant."
"Very well," they answered, "do as you say."
6 So Abraham hurried into the tent to Sarah. "Quick," he said, "get three seahs[b] of the finest flour and knead it and bake some bread."
7 Then he ran to the herd and selected a choice, tender calf and gave it to a servant, who hurried to prepare it. 8 He then brought some curds and milk and the calf that had been prepared, and set these before them. While they ate, he stood near them under a tree.
9 "Where is your wife Sarah?" they asked him.
"There, in the tent," he said.
10 Then one of them said, "I will surely return to you about this time next year, and Sarah your wife will have a son."
Now Sarah was listening at the entrance to the tent, which was behind him. 11 Abraham and Sarah were already very old, and Sarah was past the age of childbearing. 12 So Sarah laughed to herself as she thought, "After I am worn out and my lord is old, will I now have this pleasure?"
13 Then the Lord said to Abraham, "Why did Sarah laugh and say, 'Will I really have a child, now that I am old?' 14 Is anything too hard for the Lord? I will return to you at the appointed time next year, and Sarah will have a son."
15 Sarah was afraid, so she lied and said, "I did not laugh."
But he said, "Yes, you did laugh."
Abraham Pleads for Sodom
16 When the men got up to leave, they looked down toward Sodom, and Abraham walked along with them to see them on their way.

Government gets blamed for widening wealth gap
The state and federal governments are largely responsible for the widening gap between the rich and poor in the United States and should institute policy changes - including reforms to the tax code and more investment in education - to help reverse this 30-year trend, economists and researchers told state lawmakers Wednesday.
While many of the changes would need to take place at the federal level, professors from UC Berkeley and UC Davis said state leaders can play a role by instituting a more progressive tax system that asks wealthy individuals and successful corporations to pay more, and by investing in education and social services that help lower-income people succeed. Many of those public programs have been cut as California has faced budget deficits.
Speaking to the Assembly Committee on Accountability and Administrative Review, the academics laid out the staggering rise in income inequality that has occurred over the past three decades and said policymakers need to take more responsibility for the change.
Patterns transformed
"Over the past generation, the patterns of income growth have been radically transformed," said Paul Pierson, professor of political science at UC Berkeley, adding that the argument "that rising inequality is simply an economic reality ... too easily lets policymakers off the hook."
Pierson said that while the average person's tax rates haven't changed much in three decades, those for the "super rich" - those who take home more than $7 million a year after taxes - have, and in their favor.
"As much as one-third of the total gains of after-tax income for people making more than $7 million a year is the result of benefits they have received in the form of lower taxes," he said.
Rich get richer
Sylvia Allegretto, deputy chairwoman of UC Berkeley's Center on Wage and Employment Dynamics said that in 2008, the average annual pay for the top 1 percent of U.S. earners was well above $1 million after taxes - while the average pay for the 99 percent was just over $30,000 a year.
Meanwhile, wages have grown by nearly 40 percent for the top 10 percent of earners over the past three decades, while wages for the bottom 50 percent of earners have remained stagnant or fallen, she said.
Allegretto called this "you're on your own economics" and said it is "why we have workers who have paychecks along with food cards; it's why we have a term called the working poor." She noted that the 400 richest people in the United States, as calculated by Forbes magazine, hold about the same amount of wealth as the bottom 50 percent.
And Ann Stevens, director of UC Davis' Center for Poverty Research, sought to debunk the notion that economic inequality in the United States makes it more productive. She said that outside this country, there is no relationship between gross national product and inequality levels.
"At the current levels, it's simply not possible for a large fraction of U.S. earners to support themselves and their families, even if everything goes right," and they can work full time, she said.
All of the speakers endorsed more investment in all levels of education and programs that help lower-income people, as well as changes to the tax code. Specifically, Allegretto called for a state tax system that would create more brackets for those at higher income levels and lower taxes for those earning less.
"The burden cannot all be on the wealthy, but that's where we must start, given how well they have done," she said. "If we can level the playing field for workers, we may see a reversal of this trend."
The hearing came as the nonpartisan Institute on Taxation and Economic Policy released a study showing that 68 of the 265 most profitable Fortune 500 companies paid no state income taxes in at least one of the last three years; 20 of those companies paid no state taxes at all from 2008 to 2010, the report said.

At his KQED blog Capital Notes, John Myers explains how it is that Meg Whitman and Jerry Brown won't be releasing their tax returns. And the terrible precedent that sets.
There are real questions about Whitman's wealth and her compliance with tax laws. And Brown's own family finances have been a source of speculation. The bottom line: no matter the wealth of the candidates, governors have real power and the public needs to know how they manage their finances -- and whether they pay their taxes -- before we put them in charge of our finances and taxes. By refusing to release these records, Whitman and Brown have earned voter distrust.
Please feel free to assume the worst about the financial practices of each.

Let the trashtalk begin.
Let the trashtalk begin.
The Italians are so effin lucky. That group is a joke. Brazil got rapped
Forza Italia!!!!!!!!!!
I have faith in Donnie Walsh
I got England and Australia in there but England have the easiest group so they will go through.
Conditions will suit England, will be wet over there at that time of the year.
This could be the year!
and Germany
England is going to knock out U.S.A
Italy is going to go all the way and win it all...AGAIN!
I'm for U.S.A going all the way but my Italian heritage has the better soccer history.
"The Knicks are back" - Amare
I said Spain in the other soccer thread, and I'ma stick with them.
The Spaniards look so dominant. Their defense impresses me so much. Anybody remember that great Italian defense from the last world cup? Well this Spanish defense is better. They will shut down teams. Mark my words.
Their depth is also remarkable. They have two of the best Goalkeepers in the world with Casillas (real madrid) and Valdes (barcelona). They have all-world defenders in puyol and sergio ramos. Spain's depth on offense is endless. Check these players out:
David villa
Fernando torres
Etc, etc, etc.
Spain is winning it all.
Funny thing with Spain is that nobody really cares about the national squad. Club Football is much bigger and that's why they never play any caps in Madrid or Barcelona. The rivalry between the two super clubs is also present on the national squad. Players from Madrid and Barcelona just don't get along.
Spain have been one of the favorites to win since the birth of world cup. On paper they have one of the most talented squads but they ALWAYS screw up, and often so early in the tournament.
Do I hear an amen for b2b Italy?
My picks would be Germany, Spain and Argentina. Brazil will get tired on the group of Death. I hate the Dutch so i am hopping somewhere along the way they get raped. Italy is just to weat this time around. Old team and no real threat up front. They will stumble against more talented teams.
I hope France get booed off the pitch, cheating f**ks. Rooting for USA now that Ireland aren't in it.
Please bring back the NYK intro from the 1994 Finals...PLEASE!!!!

Xmldoom -- The XML Document Object-Oriented Model
Xmldoom is what is commonly refered to as an Object Persistence Framework or an Object-Relational Mapping [1]. Basically, it is a framework that allows you to create an automatic mapping between the tables in your relational database and the code objects you use to manipulate it. Any large database bound application will eventually create a code abstraction over the database as opposed to writting SQL manually for every database access. Xmldoom does this automatically and makes it possible to avoid writting any SQL.
This is not a new concept, however, there are a few things that make Xmldoom unique:
- Programming language agnostic
This implementation is a Perl module. However, there exists an actively maintained JavaScript and an inactive Python implementation. This means you can setup your object and database definitions once, and be able to access your database via Xmldoom with roughly the same interface from any programming language that has an Xmldoom implementation.
- Heavy abstraction
While the standard in the Perl world is to be as light as possible, Xmldoom is a heavy abstraction, and we treat that as an advantage in this context. The objects provided by Xmldoom have a very consistant and well thought-out interface, that attempts to handle as many possible "object-like" interactions as possible. The thinking is that the more Xmldoom does for you, the less you have to do. This is provided in an extensible object-oriented fashion.
- Adapts to your database
Even though it is a very heavy abstraction, it doesn't hide the database from you, or force your database to operate in some set way. It can be made to adapt to almost any way you have set up your database to operate, and still provide the same consistant object interface regardless.
- Object meta-data
Aside from simply connecting your database to objects, it allows you specify domain specific meta-data about each object and each of its properties. This meta-data is available anywhere in code, such that you can provide generic functions that can take any object, and perform some action on it based on the stored meta-data, without regard to the actual type of the object. For example, you can create a generic mechanism to generate reports, which can generate a report for any object, without needing to be special cased for each type of object you want to report on.
- Flexible searches
Xmldoom provides you with a mechanism to search for any object based on any property, whether its a property of that object or any other, so long as it can find a keys relating the objects together. This allows to find any information in your database, without ever having to write an SQL.
Currently, documentation is very scarce. However, I am working really hard right now to rectify that. I know that this is far too complicated a package to even begin using without good documentation.

Like I mentioned above, automatic Object Relational Mapping is far from a new concept and there is absolutely no general consensus on how it should be done. Many others exist for Perl, and they are all drastically different from eachother. Xmldoom is unique in the way it gets this job done, however, it was designed this way to tackle a specific problem-set. So, if you don't think that Xmldoom is a good fit for your project, try out some of these other great Perl packages:

YouTube announced that it will allow users to blur the faces of people in videos to protect the identity of government dissidents or just to keep your own anonymity.
While YouTube used high-minded examples such as sharing "sensitive protest footage" or "not broadcasting the children's faces to the world," on the YouTube blog, it's also just as likely will spark users to post video pranks with their newly obscured identities.
It made us think about this story that happened in Chicago earlier this year, where seven teens allegedly lured a 17-year-old boy into an alley, beat and robbed him and then posted the attack on YouTube. With YouTube's new face-blurring tool, now all would-be thugs can be given anonymity on the Web.

This is, as close as we can get in 2013 anyway, a real version of RoboCop's famous ED-209. It's reportedly an actual Hollywood prop, built for RoboCop 2, and stands ten-feet tall.
It won't move or shoot executives in the face, but then, it's "only" $25,000, available via an eBay auction. A real executive face-shooter would surely cost a lot more than that.
I wonder if the "complete transaction" screen gives you only ten seconds to comply...

Rox lefty Anderson awaiting MRI results on back
Injury could force hurler, in first year with Colorado, to miss rest of 2014
PHOENIX -- It's possible that Rockies left-hander Brett Anderson's latest freakish injury could force him to miss the rest of the season.
Anderson suffered a back injury during Tuesday's start against the Cubs, and underwent an MRI on Friday to determine if there is "disk involvement," according to Rockies head athletic trainer Keith Dugger.
If that's the case, it will end the season for Anderson, who has never had a back injury.
Then again, odd injuries are Anderson's lot.
In April, Anderson (1-3, 2.91 ERA in eight starts) suffered a broken left index finger while hitting a pitch off the end of his bat. Usually, the bat breaks, but the player's hand doesn't. That injury cost him three months.
Anderson left after three scoreless innings on Tuesday. In fact, since giving up six runs (five earned) in his first inning on July 13, his first game back in the rotation, he held opponents to four runs in 27 1/3 innings.
The year of pain comes on the heels of a 2013 season with the Athletics that was marred by ankle and foot injuries. Anderson also underwent Tommy John surgery in his left elbow in 2011.
The Rockies are left to weigh the potential against the injuries, and their constant starting-pitching needs, when deciding whether to pick up Anderson's $12 million club option for 2015.
Anderson's injuries this year are part of a frustrating year in which the Rockies have been forced to use 14 different starting pitchers. From the start of the season, only lefty Jorge De La Rosa (11-7, 4.27 ERA) has pitched well enough to stay in the rotation and been healthy enough not to visit the DL -- and De La Rosa was touch-and-go at one point when his back bothered him.
Righty Tyler Chatwood made four starts before undergoing Tommy John surgery and is out for the year. Righty Jhoulys Chacin was limited to 11 starts because of a rotator cuff strain and a slight labrum tear, and isn't likely to return. Righty Jordan Lyles returned this week after missing two months with a broken left hand.
Add to that injuries to righty callups Eddie Butler (rotator cuff strain) and Christian Bergman (broken left hand), and you have a year full of pitching injuries. Bergman made a rehab start at Triple-A Colorado Springs on Friday.
Besides De La Rosa, two other members of the original 2014 starting rotation have not visited the disabled list, but they've had their issues.
Lefty Franklin Morales has been in and out of the rotation because he hasn't avoided the home run (20 in 106 1/3 innings total, 15 in 88 1/3 as a starter). Righty Juan Nicasio was optioned to Colorado Springs on June 6, and returned to the team Thursday as a reliever.

PentaStars - June 2014
When One Charger Isn't Enough
Who: Derik Fagone
Where: Huntington, New York
What: 1972 Dodge Charger SE, 1967 Dodge Charger, 1969 Dodge Charger SE
It was Derik's dream to have three generations of the Dodge Charger in his collection...and here they are. (By the way, all of them are automatics with black interiors.)
At left is his 1972 Charger SE, which he built into what he calls a "Rallye/Superbee clone," combining the best from those 1972 and 1971 Chargers.
Parked behind the 1972 is a wedge-back 1967, which is a 318-powered survivor that he added a louvered 1967 Coronet R/T hood to, and parked behind it is a formerly-383-powered 1969 Charger SE, to which Tom added a 440, and run a best time on the quarter-mile of 13.1 seconds—so far.
All that's missing from Derik's group shot is the 440-powered 1970 Charger R/T that he's restoring, an original Plum Crazy car that he's painting in his favorite High Impact color, Go Mango.
Saratoga County Satellite
Who: Jerry Horn
Where: Waterford, New York
What: 1966 Plymouth Satellite hardtop
Jerry calls his 1966 "just a mild street car," one with a stroked-to-493-inches big-block that's good for 689 horsepower and 675 lb-ft of torque. Behind that is a 727 with a 9-inch 4,500 stall converter, a tied frame, and a back-braced 834 rear end that runs 4.11 gears on the street, and 4.56s on the strip.
Those trips to the strip are made courtesy of his daily-driver Dodge Dakota, and the entire project—including a 30x40-foot garage the car was mostly built in—is thanks to Jerry's wife, Rebecca.

Sanfilippo syndrome is metabolism disorder passed down through families. It makes the body unable to properly break down long chains of sugar molecules called glycosaminoglycans (formerly called mucopolysaccharides).
The syndrome belongs to a group of diseases called mucopolysaccharidoses (MPS). Specifically, it is known as MPS III.
See also:
Sanfilippo syndrome occurs when the substances (enzymes) needed to break down the heparan sulfate sugar chain are missing or are defective.
There are four main types of Sanfilippo syndrome, also called MPS III. Which type a person has depends on which enzyme is affected.
The syndrome is inherited as an autosomal recessive trait. If both parents carry the defective gene related to this condition, each of their children has a 25% chance of developing the disease.
Sanfilippo syndrome is possibly the most common forms of MPS. It is seen in about 1 in 70,000 births. A family history of Sanfilippo syndrome increases the risk for this condition.
Unlike many other forms of MPS, symptoms often appear after the first year of life. A decline in learning ability typically occurs between ages 2 and 6. The child may have normal growth during the first few years, but final height is below average. Delayed development is followed by deteriorating mental status.
Other symptoms include:
A physical exam may show signs of liver and spleen swelling. An eye exam will show clear corneas, unlike the cloudy corneas seen in persons with Hurler syndrome (MPS I H). Neurological testing will reveal signs of seizures and intellectual disability.
Urine tests will be done. Persons with Sanfilippo syndrome have large amounts of a mucopolysaccharide called heparan sulfate in the urine.
Other tests may include:
There is no specific treatment available for Sanfilippo syndrome.
Additional information and resources are available from the National MPS Society.
The syndrome causes significant neurological symptoms, including severe intellectual disability. IQs may be below 50. Most persons with Sanfilippo syndrome live into their teenage years. Some patients live longer, while others with severe forms die at an earlier age. Symptoms appear most severe in persons with type A Sanfilippo syndrome.
Call your health care provider if your child does not seem to be growing or developing normally.
Call for an appointment with your health care provider if you plan to have children and you have a family history of Sanfilippo syndrome.
Genetic counseling is recommended for prospective parents with a family history of Sanfilippo syndrome. Counseling is also recommended for families who have a child with Sanfilippo syndrome, to help them understand the condition and possible treatments. Prenatal testing is available.

I had a great summer traveling with my family. We went West to California and Utah for family reunions and fun with cousins. Now that we have returned from four weeks away from home my kids are back in school and I am back to working on the ProGen Study Program, my BCG portfolio, preparing presentations to give at genealogy conferences this fall, and updating my education blog.
While I was in Utah I hosted a gathering of descendants from my third great grandmother, Mary Lawson Kirkman Hulet Cook. This meeting was specifically for those interested in family history and it was lots of fun to meet new cousins and honor this great lady. We shared stories, photographs and contact information so we can continue to share our research findings with each other.
I have lots of plans and topics I would like to cover on this blog, but I also have a five month old baby so I will write articles as I am able (perhaps during nap time). I will continue to post information on genealogy conferences, institutes, courses, webinars, and other online educational resources.

DURHAM — There are many things students can expect to see in their room when they return from class or a meal. Three hundred crickets probably isn't one of them.
On Jan. 29, an estimated 200 to 300 crickets, which were supposed to be food for a pet bearded dragon, found a way out of their box and spread out over the entire second floor and parts of the first floor of Devine Hall. The owner's friend, who lives in Devine and asked to remain anonymous, was watching the lizard when it happened.
According to the student, his friend stopped by his room with the bearded dragon and a box full of 1,100 to 1,200 crickets. Both the lizard and crickets were purchased at the New England Reptile Expo in Manchester. The expo sells crickets in wholesale quantities.
"I didn't think much of it until I asked how many crickets were in the box," the student said. "Did I mention that I really didn't like crickets, bordering on phobia? But he said it would be fine and nothing would happen."
Unfortunately, something did happen.
The crickets presumably pushed through a poorly taped air vent while the student was away from his room.
"So then chaos ensued," he said.
Kellen Story, hall director of the Upper Quad, received complaints from residents about finding crickets in their rooms. When he went to investigate, he found a trail of white crickets leading to hundreds of insects on the second floor.
"They came out and they just went everywhere," Story said. "Walking up there, it was kind of surreal."
The student was out of his dorm when the crickets escaped, and he rushed back to Devine when he received a text message from his friend saying that Story (mistaken to be the police) was in his room.
The student's reaction was very similar to Story's.
"Getting back to the dorm was surreal. Most of the doors near my room had towels or shirts blocking them," he said. "Mine had a whole pile to itself."
The student voluntarily spent roughly six hours going around the floor catching and disposing of all the crickets he could find. According to Story, some students are still finding dead crickets lying around, but the situation was taken care of for the most part on the same day everything happened.
The student said that he has been hearing about "crickets in the upper quad" fairly often since the whole event happened. While no one has directly confronted him about it, he has heard that people were initially upset about the whole fiasco.
"I was told everyone was complaining about it on Facebook and the like," he said. "Nobody seems angry, but they aren't rushing out to ask what happened or why either."
The UNH Department of Housing has strict rules about keeping pets in the dorm room. According to its website, "Pets or animals of any kind, except non-dangerous fish, are prohibited in University Housing. One ten-gallon tank containing fish is allowed per room."
Since the crickets did not damage anything in Devine, the student is not being charged. But he did violate the university policy for pets, so he is responsible for creating a floor bulletin board on why having pets in the dorm rooms is bad idea for both the animals and the residents. The bulletin board will be up by the end of the month.
"I had no intention of letting this happen, and I ended up breaking a rule for a less than worthwhile reason," the student said. "But no, I really didn't do this on purpose."

Popular group Kis-My-Ft2' 6th single "My Resistance -Tashika na Mono-/Unmei Girl" topped the Oricon weekly ranking by selling 316,313 copies which was the highest sales in the first week for the group since their debut back in August 2011.
This marked their 6 straight single to top the chart since their debut single "Everybody Go" and they are also the first artist in 5 years to top the chart for 3 consecutive years since debuting. Their senior group KAT-TUN last achieved�this with their single "LIPS" back in February 2008 (artists who made their debut for a second time are excluded).
It's been about a year and a half for a Kis-My-Ft2' single to sell over 300,000 copies in the first week. The first week sales this time around moved 57,000 more units than the previous single "Ai no Beat" which was released in November 2012 and sold 259,000 copies in the first week.
"My Resistance -Tashika na Mono-" is the theme song for TV Asahi's ongoing drama "Nobunaga no Chef" which stars member Tamamori Yuta, and "Unmei Girl" was the CM song for Seven & i's Valentine Fair.
Kis-My-Ft2 is also scheduled to release a new single, album, and DVD simultaneously on March 27th.

Büchi Glas Uster - Glass Pharma Reactor
Buchi is a leading manufacturer of glass pharma reactors. The design of our reactors fulfils the requests of the authorities (pressure equipment directives and Ex proof equipment ) and of the pharma industry regarding:
- cGMP manufacturing of API's and intermediates
- validation / qualification
- safety guidelines
- Guide lines of construction (PED, ATEX,others)
- as well as special design features (compact design, self emptying lines, short down times, high preformance)
- low temperature or cryogenic applications and many other factors.
Glass pharma reactors are often used for synthesis and small scale production of fine chemicals and pharmaceuticals (API's). For use in Pilot Plants and kilolabs, other equipement as mixinig vessels , Glass Nutsch Filters / Dryers, gas scrubbers to neutralize corrosive / acidic gases are needed as accesories.
The performance of such reactors depends on several factors, see also chemical Reactors page.
Buchi's Glass Pharma reactors are built with a glass section to visually obeserve the chemical reaction and with a glass lined carbon steel bottom section for better temperature control. This visual process control through the upper glass section is very important in Pilot Plants due to the often changing products and processes under cGMP manufacturing. The distillation overhead in borosilicate glass with PTFE gaskets is mainly used for (vacuum) distillation. The use of glass lined steel with Borosilicate glass allows processing of a wide range of different substances. The high vacuum (or low leakage rate) of the complete reaction system is crucial for the purity of the final product. This as well as safe chemical processing in glass process equipment we can guarantee by the use of «büchiflex» components of our modular glass components system with its unique flexible glass connection.
The standard configuration of Buchi Glass Pharma Reactors allow to perform a variety of processes like:
- Distillation, Reflux, Rectification
- Azeotropic distillation (phase separation)
- Evaporation to desired consistency
- Multicomponent reactions
- Gas dispersion into liquid phase
- Extraction/phase separation in reactor
- Crystallization
- Cryogenic / low temperature reaction
Since used for multiple processes and different products, fast and efficient cleaning of such reactors systems is very important. This issue must be respected already in the planning stage by the choice of used materials in such units, as well as in the design of the complete unit to shorten the down time during product changes.
Complete sets of such multipurpose Pilot Reactors consist of:
- Reactor (Borosilicate glass - glass lined steel) with dry running mechanical sealing (ATEX)
- distillation glass overhead with Glas condensers ,glass lined steel or silicon carbide (SiC) shell and tube type heat exchanger
- pressure- / vacuum equalisation / distributor manifold
- glass feed tanks
- glass receivers
- leakage free glass connections
For optional pharma reactor accessories like : pH control, automation, different glass setup, impeller- , anchor stirrers, please refer to the section reactor options.
Industrial scale kilolab reactors systems use glass AE or BE type lined mixing tanks with large shell and tube heat exchangers made of full glass, Glass lined steel / glass or silicon carbide with glass.
Glass Reactors Systems including:
«miniPilot» 5 - 15 liters
«chemReactor» type Reactors systems
chemical process equipment in glass, glass lined steel
Glass Reactors, mixing vessels, storage tanks

Lopes Approved
The Tranny owes its success in part to Ibis' skilled engineers and the input of World Champion downhiller and team rider Brian Lopes. Lopes, who races the Tranny in dual slalom and four-cross, knows how a fast hardtail should handle, and the Tranny is bang on. A tall front end and sloping top tube position the rider perfectly to make even the gnarliest descents a cinch for the Tranny. And considering Lopes frequently hucks bikes off 30 foot gaps, you don't have to worry about the durability of the Tranny's carbon fiber frame – that is of course unless you think you can go bigger than Lopes himself.
Dynamics-wise, not only is the Tranny the most vertically compliant hardtail I've ever ridden, making you forget you're on a hardtail, but it's also more laterally stiff than an I-beam, especially with a 15mm thru axle, making short work of even the most hairball of corners. And when it comes to the all-important topic of acceleration, especially for single speeding, the Tranny is unparalleled. You will not find a faster accelerating hardtail than the Tranny. Period. The only potential drawback to this is that, on a single speed, you get to terminal velocity almost too quickly, leaving no more room for additional acceleration. But most people would consider that a good problem.
And because of its vertical compliance, light weight and tubeless setup, you really have to either be a bonehead or a double Clydesdale to pinch flat on a Tranny. Like a perfectly shaped stone skipping across a still pond, the Tranny seems to levitate downhill, floating over the tops of rocks, avoiding the inevitable pinch flat fate of most other heavier and less compliant hardtails.
