This just in from Dale Robertson, a Houston Chronicle journalist who is helping the San Francsico Chronicle cover the Olympics up in Vancouver. According to Dale, the scene up at Whistler — where the Nordic and Alpine skiing is being held — is much different from the raucous partying going on down in the city.
With daily morning starts for the Alpine skiing, I haven't been much of a night owl in Whistler. But, unless things turn really crazy late and I'm too zonked to hear the revelry, my little mountain enclave seems astonishingly free of Vancouver's wee-hours orgy of insanity.
The Medals Plaza concert here ends at 9 p.m., followed by a round of fireworks, and then almost everybody shuffles off into the dark, either to hunker down at a pub or to board one of the endless parade of buses circulating on Main Street. Sure, it gets pretty noisy when the home team triumphs, but a resolute good cheer prevails.
I've yet to witness a brawl break out or a drug deal go down, or had to dodge any synchronized projectile vomiting, which my colleagues residing on Granville Street in V-Town say, with visible shudders, is a routine hindrance. Even after the Canadians paddled the Russians in hockey, the celebration remained orderly. To date, I've had one drunken teenager sideswipe me and he immediately turned to slur a profound apology before lurching away.
My past experience with ski towns in season led me to think Whistler would be a minefield of trouble. Instead, it has been a bastion of civility. I'm unsure whether to feel relief or disappointment. At my age, I think I'll go with the former.

In an interview with Arutz Sheva's weekly B'Sheva newspaper, Bennett said that while he had realized he enjoyed widespread support, even he was surprised at the results of Tuesday's vote.
"There was a feeling that the youth were with me, but older party members supported others and,in the end, it turned out that most of the older members voted for us, too," he said. "It seems that after many years of a sense of political oppression, of not being counted, our public just burst forth like a volcano," Bennett said.

ANCHORAGE (AP) -- Air France cargo executives were given the red carpet treatment June 22 by folks in Fairbanks celebrating the Paris-based airline's 10-year anniversary of operations in town.
But any future party may well be a wake for the French airline, as it has hinted it may use an airstrip in Russia as its stopover for refueling.
Air France also is purchasing three new long-range freighter aircraft this year capable of nonstop cargo service from Paris to Asia, which could bypass Fairbanks International Airport or any other North American or Russian airport.
While Air France officials enjoyed sightseeing and riverboat rides, the looming threat of the airline's pulling out of Fairbanks was like bugs in a punchbowl that everyone noticed but politely ignored, said Dave Carlstrom, Fairbanks International marketing director.
Carlstrom said the airline earlier this year had said it was considering switching from Fairbanks to Tashkent, Uzbekistan, as its refueling stop, but ''aero-politics'' have stopped the move, at least for now.
An April 1 European ban on noisy aircraft has hit hard Russia's aging fleet of Soviet-era airplanes. In response, the Russians have banned some flights on shortcut routes over Siberia sought by the European carriers.
''(Air France) was unable to procure requested overflights from the Russians,'' Carlstrom told the Alaska Journal of Commerce. ''If they had been able to work out the overflight issues, it could have been au revoir.''
Air cargo companies operate on razor-thin margins and if they can save money somewhere or somehow, they will, according to Ray Keiser, an aviation consultant with Keiser Phillips Associates in Oakland, Calif.
''Airlines will use every possible economic advantage,'' Keiser said.
Air France moved its operations to Fairbanks from Anchorage in 1992 after 33 years of refueling in Alaska's largest city. The move, which followed Lufthansa in moving cargo operations to Fairbanks, saved the airline about 20 minutes in flight time between Europe and Asia. The move also may have saved the air carrier in jet fuel costs since the airport is near Williams Alaska Petroleum Inc.'s refinery at North Pole.
In the last decade, Fairbanks has recorded 3,755 freighter landings from the French carrier, which has purchased an estimated 115 million gallons of fuel and 20,000 rooms for crew lodging, Carlstrom said.
''The rule of thumb is for every gas-and-go fuel stop, $25,000 changes hands,'' Carlstrom said, adding that most of the money spent by the airline goes for refueling.
To lose the French carrier would not be devastating to Fairbanks International, but it would be significant, Carlstrom said. Air France's landing fees account for about 20 percent of Fairbanks International's annual $6 million revenues.
''It would be a major hit,'' Carlstrom said.
The best the airport can do at this time is to be a good host and hope for the best, he said.
''There are forces at work that are not in our favor,'' said Carlstrom. ''There is no other industry where major capital assets can literally fly away overnight.''
Air France has been extremely happy with Fairbanks International and does not have any plans to move out of town currently, said Ron Auge, Air France's station manager in Fairbanks.
But, he said, ''The chance is always there.''
The airstrip in Tashkent has a nearby refinery and several of the world's airlines make stopovers there.
In the past two years, Lufthansa and Air France shifted Europe-Fairbanks-Seoul, South Korea, flights to the Tashkent airstrip. Korean Air and Asiana also have shifted their Anchorage stopover to the Russian airport for their Korean flights, Carlstrom said.
''(Tashkent) has cleaned our clock on the Seoul routing,'' Carlstrom said. ''One hundred percent of Europe-to-Seoul traffic that once came through Alaska now goes through Tashkent.''
Mort Plumb, director of the Ted Stevens Anchorage International Airport, said marketing studies have shown that the Russian airport would have little effect on Anchorage stopovers since nearly all traffic is routed from Asia to North America, instead of Europe to Asia, like Fairbanks.
''We would lose roughly 3 percent of our flights (to Tashkent) and none of our carriers,'' Plumb said.
The world air cargo industry is in its worst slump in more than 30 years, due more from ailing Asian and domestic economies than from the impact of the terrorist attacks on the East Coast, according to Boeing Co. research.
But the slide should be short-lived, as growth levels are projected to increase to historic growth levels by fall.

Town urged to plan Schlumberger development
Updated 9:50 pm, Wednesday, June 11, 2014
RIDGEFIELD -- Don't develop. Don't sell -- or even lease. Instead, plan.
That's the message residents gave to the Board of Selectmen on Wednesday at a packed hearing on the future of the Schlumberger-Doll Research Center property.
The hearing -- the first of three -- came in the wake of the town's rejection in May of a proposal to sell 10 acres of the Schlumberger property to the Toll Brothers development firm for $4 million.
The remaining hearings will be Saturday at 10 a.m. and June 25 at 6:30 p.m., both at Town Hall.
Most of the speakers at the standing-room-only hearing Wednesday said the voters' rejection now gives the selectmen a chance to rethink their entire way of viewing the land.
Helen Dimos, who has become a vocal proponent of this approach, said the town should hire a landscape architecture and planning firm that is "`accomplished, experienced and visionary," to rethink the town's approach to the 40-acre parcel, which is the only large piece of open space left in the center of town.
While the planner does that work, she said, the town should refrain from selling any of the Schlumberger land.
An art collector has expressed a wish to buy 12 acres of the property, along with the site's important buildings.
The selectmen have never revealed the collector's name. But at a previous meeting on the land, a participant -- Chuck Hancock -- said the collector is Eric Diefenbach, president of the Aldrich Contemporary Art Museum.
Marconi revealed more information at Wednesday's meeting about the town's protracted negotiations with the collector. He said the town would lease the land to the collector for $250,000 a year. When the land gets a clean bill of environmental health, the collector would buy it for $3.4 million, using the most celebrated building on the land -- a corporate center designed by architect Philip Johnson -- as a museum.
But Dimos and others said the town should think twice about selling the land. At most, she said, the town should lease it.
"We absolutely control the land if we own it," Dimos said. "We don't need to sell it. It's an ever-appreciating resource.''
People were quick to urge the selectmen to follow Dimos' advice and rethink the town's approach to the land.
"It's time for a reset," said Lloyd Taft.
Doug Millan said the town's approach to the property had been "buy it, flip it and get the money back."
Millan said the town has a chance to rethink that approach.
"This is a special property,'' he said. "If we blow it, we blow it for good.''
First Selectman Rudy Marconi explained the selectmen's approach to the property. After the town bought the land for $7 million in 2011 -- rather than see it overdeveloped with a condominium project -- Marconi said the strongest message the selectmen heard from taxpayers was "get our money back."
The town sold 5 acres of the land to developer Stephen Zemo for $1.25 million. The sale of the 10 acres on Sunset Lane to Toll Brothers would have earned the town an additional $4 million.
A few speakers said they still supported the sale.
"The land is an albatross around our neck,'' said Linda Lavalle. "The town should never get involved with dealing in real estate.''
Ed Tyrrell said that because the town has had an offer of $4 million for the land, it would be wrong to sell it for anything less than $4 million.
"You have a plan and we agreed with it,'' Tyrrell said. "I implore you to continue with it.''

Greeks Controlling Largest Fleet Seen Buying Used Ships Over New
Greek shipowners, who control the world's largest merchant fleet, cut orders for new vessels by 37 percent last year and made more purchases on the secondhand market, Golden Destiny said.
Orders for new ships fell to 116 from the 185 registered in 2011, the Piraeus, Greece-based shipbroker said today in an e- mailed report. Owners bought 216 used vessels, against 198 in the prior year, it said. Spending dropped 45 percent to $5.1 billion for new ships and slid 19 percent to $3.85 billion for secondhand vessels, the report showed.
Greek owners accounted for 5.6 percent of the $91.8 billion spent worldwide on orders for 1,423 new ships last year, according to Golden Destiny's figures. That was down from 10 percent of the total for 2011, when 1,782 vessels were ordered.
Dry-bulk vessels that carry minerals and grains accounted for 44 of last year's Greek orders for new ships, with spending put at $1.11 billion by Golden Destiny. Owners ordered 29 tankers worth $653 million to carry crude oil and refined products and 22 container ships to transport manufactured goods, according to the shipbroker. The tally excluded 34 private transactions.
Greek owners cut spending by 83 percent for bulk carriers and 58 percent for container ships, the report showed.
Chinese shipowners spent $768 million to buy 103 used vessels last year, down from $1.59 billion and 153 ships in 2011, Golden Destiny said. Orders for new vessels slid to 164 from 295 as spending dropped 28 percent to $4.96 billion.
Owners from Greece controlled 16 percent of the world merchant fleet in early 2011, the largest share by capacity, the most recent statistics available from the United Nations Conference on Trade and Development showed. China ranked fourth, according to UNCTAD.

Former Premier League star praised Liverpool defender Kolo Toure.
Former Chelsea ace Michael Essien praised Kolo Toure for his 'outstanding' performance for Liverpool against Sevilla.
The Reds were defeated 3-1 in the Europa League final, with the Spanish side netting three second half goals to overturn Daniel Sturridge's opener.
Essien, who played against Toure in the Premier League on several occasions, also praised both teams, insisting Unai Emery's Sevilla deserved their win.
Unlucky Liverpool lost but Sevilla put up some great performance in the 2nd half and deserve to win,but Kolo Toure was outstanding 2nite— Michael Essien (@MichaelEssien) May 18, 2016
Toure was lining up in central defence alongside Dejan Lovren, a centre-back partnership which is not really of a standard expected to win a major European trophy.
The 35-year-old Ivorian international was likely starting in his last European final, and to come away without a winner's medal will be highly disappointing.
On the night he won five aerial duels, more than any Liverpool defender, while also making a staggering 17 clearances - with Lovren closest with 10.
He made three interceptions, which was actually bettered only by defensive scapegoat Alberto Moreno, who was frequently caught out of position.

Rising Anti-Compromise Republicans Set to Reshape Senate
Outcomes in the Indiana, Texas and Nebraska Republican primaries are raising the odds that South Carolina Senator Jim DeMint will move closer to remaking the ranks of U.S. Senate Republicans in the image of the anti-tax Tea Party-dominated House caucus.
Texas Republican Ted Cruz, who was backed by the Tea Party movement, this week forced Lieutenant Governor David Dewhurst into a July runoff for an open Senate seat. On May 8, Indiana State Treasurer Richard Mourdock toppled incumbent Senator Richard Lugar, who was criticized in the Republican primary for compromising with Democrats.
In Nebraska, Republican state Senator Deb Fischer -- whose backers include Tea Party favorite Sarah Palin -- defeated Attorney General Jon Bruning on May 15 for the Republican Senate nomination and leads former Democratic Senator Bob Kerrey in polls of the race for the open seat.
Democrats see the Indiana results as improving their prospects in November, similar to the dynamics in the 2010 midterms when some Tea Party-backed candidates stumbled in the general election. Whether the Democrats can extend that advantage elsewhere remains to be seen this cycle, because the Republican candidates are more seasoned and most of the races will take place in states with histories of favoring their party.
Empowering DeMint
What is clear is that even a handful of November victories in these states will empower DeMint and his growing anti-tax-and-spending caucus in pressing Minority Leader Mitch McConnell, a Kentucky Republican, on such issues as a balanced budget amendment and resisting compromises with Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid, a Nevada Democrat.
"The new conservatives have already had an enormous impact on the Senate," DeMint said in an e-mail. "With a few more conservative reinforcements like Ted Cruz, Richard Mourdock, and others, we have a chance to really turn the tide so we can repeal ObamaCare and balance the budget."
The Tea Party claimed 28 House seats in the 2010 midterm congressional election, and those members helped pressure Republican Speaker John Boehner of Ohio to refuse to accept a series of spending cut proposals in exchange for raising the nation's debt limit -- a showdown that brought the government to the brink of shutdown in July 2011.
In the Senate, DeMint in 2010 used his Senate Conservatives Fund political action committee to assist the campaigns of five newcomers including Rand Paul of Kentucky, Marco Rubio of Florida and Pat Toomey of Pennsylvania.
Delaying Efforts
DeMint's favorites have been eager to take on Senate leadership. Paul, son of Republican presidential candidate and Texas Representative Ron Paul, has held up bills for weeks by filing amendments and filibustering on issues including aid to Egypt and federal education legislation.
An infusion of new allies could pay even more dividends given who they will replace, said DeMint. Republican Senators Lugar, Olympia Snowe of Maine and Kay Bailey Hutchison of Texas, who are all exiting, often worked with Democrats.
"If people on the far left have a principle they want to stand by, they should never compromise. Those of us on the right should not either," Mourdock said May 9 in a CNN interview. "Compromise may come in the finer details of a plan or a budget."
"We are at the point where one side or the other will win this argument," he added. "One side or the other will dominate."
Change From 2010
Many of the new faces are vying for seats expected to stay under Republican control, as in Texas. That's a change from two years ago, when Tea Party-backed Republicans Christine O'Donnell of Delaware, who once said she'd dabbled in witchcraft, and Sharron Angle of Nevada lost Senate races where Democratic-held seats appeared vulnerable. Those defeats helped Democrats maintain a majority in the chamber.
The Tea Party also sees a strong opportunity in the Arizona Senate primary for retiring Republican Jon Kyl's seat. Representative Jeff Flake, backed by the anti-tax Club for Growth, leads competitor Wil Cardon 42 percent to 20 percent, and he also has a 13-point edge over the Democratic contender, Richard Carmona, according to a May 17-20 Public Policy Polling survey.
In Indiana, Democrats say the primary results are creating a better environment for them to pick up Lugar's seat. President Barack Obama won the state in 2008 and polls show Mourdock locked in a close race with the Democratic nominee, Representative Joe Donnelly.
'Big Win'
"Indiana's a big win" for Democratic hopes in the race, said Jennifer Duffy, a Senate analyst with Cook Political Report. "I don't see others that have that potential at this point."
Still, Democrats are monitoring a four-way Republican primary in Wisconsin, where former Governor Tommy Thompson is being targeted by the Tea Party groups in a fight for an open Senate seat a Democrat is giving up, said Duffy.
The Tea Party's Senate focus is evident in the lack of House primary challenges.
Of the 187 House Republican incumbents who faced primaries this year, 176 of them won, according to the National Republican Congressional Committee. Of those who didn't, six opted to run for the Senate, four lost in member-to-member primaries because of newly drawn districts, and one -- Jean Schmidt of Ohio --lost to a challenger with Tea Party support.
'Sizable Effect'
"The bang for your buck is in the Senate, not in the House," said Michael McDonald, an associate government professor at George Mason University in Fairfax, Virginia. "It's much more of a freewheeling environment and, with the filibuster, you don't even need a majority in order to have a sizable effect."
It takes 60 votes in the 100-member Senate to end a filibuster, or an unlimited debate, that can stall legislative action.
Brendan Steinhauser, federal and state campaigns director with FreedomWorks, an organization started by former House Republican Leader Dick Armey of Texas and an ally of the Tea Party movement, said his group is training activists in phone banking, polling and door-to-door outreach in Texas and Indiana.
DeMint's fundraising complements the grassroots effort.
In the 2010 election cycle, the Senate Conservatives Fund raised $9.3 million, more than the leadership PACs of all other senators and congressmen. This cycle, DeMint said his goal is to raise more than $10 million to "replace incumbent Democrats with conservative Republicans."
Texas Legislature
The Texas legislature could provide a glimpse of where the Tea Party may take the Republican Party on the national level. While Texas House Speaker Joe Straus won his race in the May 29 primary, Tea Party-backed candidates ousted three of his allies, including Representative Rob Eissler, a nine-year incumbent who is chairman of the Public Education Committee.
The results leave many Republican lawmakers in Texas "wide-eyed and frightened," said Calvin Jillson, who teaches political science at Southern Methodist University in Dallas. "They survived this time, but they have to wonder, what about 2014 and elections down the road?"

Royal Dutch Shell's on-going security issues in Nigeria weighed on third quarter earnings, sending the oil giant's shares down by as much as 5% in early trading on the London Stock Exchange.
Shell reported a fall in earnings to $4.2bn (€3bn, £2.62bn) during the third quarter, on a current cost of supplies basis, down from $6.2bn in the same quarter a year before.
Oil theft in Nigeria is a problem for Shell. Moreover, rival militias in the poverty-stricken country engaging in violent battles for resources have intensified security concerns – and raised costs – for those operating in Nigeria.
As well as the Nigeria production problems, Shell said its earnings were hit by significantly weaker industry refining conditions and production volume impacts from maintenance and asset replacement activities.

Some see politics in city health care moveAugust 19, 2013 Updated: August 20, 2013 9:44am
A week after her administration discovered an unexpected surplus in the city's health benefits fund and rolled back some co-pay hikes imposed earlier this year, Mayor Annise Parker also has softened increases to employees' health care insurance premiums, following strong complaints from the city's municipal workers' union.

In rescinding higher co-pays for specialists and some medications last week, Parker had said further changes pushed by the municipal union would wait until next year. On Friday, however, the mayor announced she would cut the increase in employees' health premiums.
The decision to drop the increase in premiums from 14.9 percent to 8.7 percent - the relief most sought by the Houston Organization of Public Employees - came the day before Parker and her challengers were to be screened by the union leadership in preparation for its announcement of its endorsements in this year's city races.
Parker spokeswoman Janice Evans said the change was driven by data showing claims on a slow decline, not the mayor angling for the union's support.
"She took another look at the data, and there were discussions all last week with (the municipal union) after they raised the concerns regarding the premiums," Evans said, adding consultants hired by the union to examine health costs were helpful. "It was determined we could go ahead and do it."
Julia Smekalina, spokeswoman for Parker's main challenger, Ben Hall, accused the mayor of playing politics with city policy.
"Ms. Parker is the poster child of the term: 'No interest like personal interest.' Once again we see how Ms. Parker is quick to throw Houstonians under the bus to defend shortsighted policies," Smekalina said. "But when her political interests are in danger, she pretends to save the day. This is hardly leadership."
Change 'a blessing'
Earlier this year, the city plugged a $14 million projected deficit in its health benefits fund, and in May hiked health premiums and shifted more of the cost of care to workers.
Then, in recent weeks, city staff found an $18 million surplus in the same fund, and announced some jumps in co-pays for specialist visits, medicines and other care would be rescinded.
After July's collections and claims were tallied, the surplus was even larger, Evans said. The city's share of premiums, which covers three-quarters of plan costs, with workers covering one-fourth, also will increase 8.7 percent effective Sept. 1, she said, down from 14.9 percent.
City staffers have said an aggressive wellness program targeting preventative care, now in its third year, made costs hard to predict as claims jumped when ailments were diagnosed and treated, then leveled off as workers' conditions improved.

Isaiah Monroe, a municipal union board member, called the premium change "a blessing." Monroe also praised the planned reduction in co-pays for specialist visits, saying $100 a pop simply was not possible for many workers; that fee will drop to $60 on Sept. 1.
"Most of us are at levels to where it's hard to just make the basic ends meet, and having this reduction is really going to help," Monroe said. "We're real thankful that the administration decided to go ahead and do the right thing regarding our health care. It's hard to have insurance that you're paying for and then not be able to afford to go to the doctor."
Employee 'rejoicing'
Monroe said employees have been discussing who the union should endorse for mayor this year, but he said the "rejoicing" following Friday's premium change will be just one factor.
"It's very positive, but we're wise enough to keep things in perspective," Monroe said. "It will be given just weight in our endorsement decisions."
Councilman C.O. Bradford, who has endorsed Hall, said he is "gravely concerned" at the health care cost estimates the Parker administration has produced.
"We need to make sure we have this surplus. If we do have a surplus and the employees have paid more than they need to pay, I think a reduction in premiums is the right thing to do," he said. "Unfortunately, it looks like it took (Houston Organizaton of Public Employees) as an employee union going in twisting some arms, flexing some muscle before the right thing was done."
Councilman Jack Christie said the timing of the premium reduction does not bother him.
"Look at is as a good, supportive move instead of a political move," he said. "There are times when I make a decision and then I think, no, I can make a better decision when I see the real numbers. Give her credit for that."

NEW YORK (AP) — Drummer Art Blakey, vibraphonist Lionel Hampton and trumpeter Clark Terry are the newest inductees into Jazz at Lincoln Center's Ertegun Jazz Hall of Fame.
Actor Courtney B. Vance read remarks honoring each inductee at Tuesday's ceremony at Dizzy's Club Coca-Cola in New York City. The ceremony featured performances by trumpeters Wynton Marsalis and Roy Hargrove, vibraphonists Joe Locke and Warren Wolf and other guests of such tunes as Hampton's theme "Flyin' Home."
Blakey led the hard bop Jazz Messengers, a training ground for future jazz stars including Marsalis. Hampton rose to fame in Benny Goodman's integrated 1930s quartet. Terry inspired Miles Davis and played in the Count Basie and Duke Ellington big bands.
Inductees were chosen in worldwide balloting by jazz fans from nominees selected by a committee of musicians and scholars.

Citizens uniting and fighting for a common cause is what civic associations are about. In Queens, there is no shortage of these neighborhood stalwarts and community watchdogs. Eastern Queens contains an unprecedented number of active civics that historically have worked well together to achieve great successes.
Case in point: the return of service along the former Q79 bus route, which traveled along Little Neck Parkway from Jericho Turnpike to the Little Neck Long Island Rail Road station. When the Metropolitan Transportation Authority abandoned this bus line two years ago, the result was devastating for thousands of residents in Little Neck, Glen Oaks and Bellerose, who were left without any affordable transportation alternatives.
Under the umbrella of Eastern Queens United, a dozen civics joined forces and galvanized into action. EQU held rallies protesting the Q79 demise and calling for full restoration. They met, plotted a strategy, created a viable proposal to restore service and presented it in August 2011 at a formal meeting with the MTA.
The EQU proposal sought to reroute every other Q36 bus to run along Little Neck Parkway, instead of terminating there as the Q36 currently does. EQU dubbed this new route Q36N — "N" for "north," since it would run north along Little Neck Parkway.
Two weeks ago, almost a year to the day since the EQU-MTA meeting, the MTA announced restoration of several bus lines it had cut, including the Q79, with a plan that was almost identical to the one proposed by EQU. Will it be called the Q36N? Time will tell ....
By working closely with elected officials, EQU was able to maintain community pressure and keep the issue alive. When the MTA blinked and considered restoring service to some abandoned lines, the Q79 was on its radar. This is one example of the influence civics have when working together on clearly defined issues.
Another example of community leaders working together for a common purpose — and succeeding — is the Presidents Co-op & Condo Council, a think-tank of more than 60 co-op and condominium presidents whose mission is to keep housing affordable for the thousands of families and seniors living in their residential communities.
When the state Legislature recently adjourned without renewing two vital pieces of legislation, the PCCC jumped into action. The J51 Program provides millions of dollars of tax credits to co-ops and condos. This partnership between the city and its residential housing stock was created decades ago to assist with upgrading New York's aging housing infrastructure.
The city Tax Abatement Program was also established long ago to bring tax fairness and equity to co-ops and condos that are taxed at substantially higher rates than one-, two- and three-family homes. Failure to renew these two programs will rob communities of precious resources needed to keep housing costs affordable and to protect and maintain infrastructure.
The PCCC was vociferous and relentless in its outreach, encouraging thousands of co-op and condo owners to contact their representatives and become fully engaged in the process. By doing so they were able to extract a rare promise from the governor, state Assembly speaker and state Senate majority leader to call a special legislative session before the year ended to extend these two programs retroactively.
These successes are examples of the enduring efforts of civic and community leaders. Although politicians often take credit for these outcomes, the true heroes are our civic-minded volunteers, working behind-the-scenes without fanfare to protect and preserve the quality of life of the communities they love and where they are proud to live, work and raise their families.
Bob Friedrich is a civic leader and the president of Glen Oaks Village.

Continued from page 1
Kohl is wrapping up his fourth and final term as a U.S. Senator from Wisconsin this year. The 77-year-old Kohl has said he would not sell the team to anyone looking to move out of Milwaukee, but Kohl no longer has to worry about counting votes. Bucks are definitely a candidate to move without a new arena in Milwaukee to replace the Bradley Center.
The Maloof family reached a deal with the city of Sacramento in March for a new arena after a long, tourtous battle that last year saw the team almost move to Anaheim, Calif. But the Maloofs backed out of the Sacramento arena deal weeks later and the agreement fell apart. The relationship between the Maloofs, the city and the NBA has reached toxic levels making the Kings the best bet to relocate for greener pastures.
The Maloofs reportedly have already turned down a $400 million offer for the team (Forbes values it at $300 million in Sacramento in its current arena situation). Yet, the family's fortunes have been damaged in recent years and last year it relinquished majority ownership of the Palms Casino under a crushing debt load. The team has been stuck near the bottom of the NBA in attendance the past five years after not making the playoffs since 2006. Another blow for the team was the bankruptcy filing of arena naming rights partner, Power Balance, in November. Hansen should keep the Maloof brothers on speed dial.

Greenpeace activists paint 'Forest Crime in Europe' on the hull of a paper carried to expose the ongoing destruction of European ancient forests in Finland.
The Greenpeace activists onboard inflatable boats intercepted the paper carrier "Finn Hawk" as it entered the Baltic Port of Luebeck in Germany. As the Finn Hawk navigated towards its berth, the activists painted "Forest Crime in Europe" on the hull of the ship to expose the ongoing destruction of European ancient forests in Finland.
The Finn Hawk is loaded with paper products from the Finnish paper companies Stora Enso and M-Real; both continue to buy wood for its products from the last of Finland's ancient forests. Other activists on the pier held a banner that read "Forest ministers of Europe: save our ancient forests".
We want European ministers to make the right decisions to increase ancient forest protection in Europe during next week's Ministerial Conference on the Protection of Forests in Europe taking place in Vienna.
Even after numerous conversations over the last 12 months, the paper companies have taken no real measures to stop the destruction of ancient forests in Finland. In fact, they are peddling their ancient forest destruction to Europe and the rest of the world.
Only a few areas of Europe's formerly vast ancient forests still exist in Finland. Less than five percent of the current Finnish forest cover is ancient forest and only half of that is protected from industrial logging and further destruction.
These forests are crucial for maintaining biodiversity and the traditional livelihoods of the indigenous Sami and other traditional communities. In the north-eastern part of Finland, many ancient forest areas are still unprotected and are being destroyed by the state-owned forest enterprise Metsahallitus.
The main customers for the timber harvested by Metsahallitus are three international paper companies. This ancient forest timber is processed into pulp, magazine grade, fine paper and cardboard in the Finnish paper mills of Stora Enso, UPM Kymmene and M-Real then shipped to destinations in Europe and overseas. The ancient forests ends up as copy paper, envelopes, packaging, and in a range of publications from magazines and newspapers to advertising flyers.
Currently, very few ancient forests and high conservation value forests are protected in Europe. Greenpeace is calling on European ministers to make real decisions to further the protection of the last ancient forests instead of only stressing sustainable forest management, which can not adequately protect Europe's forests alone.
What can you do?
To make sure you are not buying products coming from ancient forest destruction, look for the FSC® logo.
The FSC®, or Forest Stewardship Council™, is an international non-profit organisation that issues certificates for well managed forests and was created so that corporate buyers and individual consumers can identify products coming from responsible forest management. Look for the FSC® logo to the left on wood and paper products to make sure you aren't buying forest destruction or supporting illegal logging around the world.
When buying paper products, look closely to make sure they are made from 100 percent post-consumer recycled paper or other agricultural waste.

Devin Green Joins the Fun
As some of you may already know, the Lakers inked Devin Green to a deal going into camp. And with the announcement of an already swollen roster's expansion, the natural speculation for many readers will be that something is indeed a-brewing. Well, not necessarily (and second opinion Eric Pincus would agree).
Yeah, the powers that be obviously want to take look at how Green's much improved Summer League play translates while mixing with the big boys. And if Green (or J.R. Pinnock, or any other "bubble guy") impresses, perhaps an Aaron McKie buyout or a roster space creating trade will be pursued.
But you only can make such decisions by bringing them in for some round ball sessions. And while the cats in question can obviously play — I'd be happy if either made the squad — with all due respect, this is not the biggest decision Mitch Kupchak is gonna make as GM. If Pinnock or Green's presence mostly amounts to a more competitive preseason vibe, that's nothing to complain about. Dudes often get brought in to eventually get cut. That's the nature of the bidness. So in the end, while it's hella fun reading into this stuff (and I dig it as much as any member of the blogging nation), a grain of salt should always be kept on hand.
Very few sodium-heavy substances are required, however, when it comes to Kwame Brown's presence at training camp. Here's Ross Siler's article about the center that came from the interview published earlier.

Police have revealed that the suspicious object which sparked a day-long security alert in Derry today was a viable pipe bomb.
The device - comprising a metal pipe strapped with black masking tape - was discovered close to steps leading from Eastway to Beechwood Avenue at around 9 a.m.
Police closed off roads in the area - including Laburnum Terrace, Westland Street,
Lone Moor Road and a section of Eastway - and a number of residents were evacuated
from their homes.
Local diversions were put in place and motorists advised to avoid the area.
British Army bomb experts arrived shortly after midday and remained at the scene
throughout the day.
Following a controlled explosion, the object was declared a viable pipe bomb type device. It was subsequently taken away for further examination.
Roads in the area were re-opened this afternoon and residents allowed to return to their homes.
Police are appealing to anyone with any information to contact them at Strand Road on the non-emergency number 101.

Anyone know anything about the new Mastercraft X46? Rumor is it may be available my April? Is this fact or fiction?
Never heard of the X-46. Is that like the X-44...?
I would be surprised if they strayed from the X45 designation....... I wouldn't be surprised if they redesigned the boat. The current X45 is the oldest wakeboat in the linup right now. (The X2 was only a mild refresh, but a refresh nonetheless.)
There was rumors about an X65 also (based on the CSX265), but those rumors have been pretty quiet the last couple months.
Here is a post on Mastercraft.com...see post from ForrestX45 "No more X-45 after 2013. That's from muiltiple sources, but I sure hope they are wrong.
One of the best selling boats ever in the MC line and it will be discontinued. Only rumor right now is a redesign maybe in 2015 as a X-46 with more of a 55 or 35 layout. I sure hope not because one of the best features of the 45 is the current layout and seating. That's why I have one and not a 35 or 55" http://www.mastercraft.com/teamtalk/...ad.php?t=51210. I also heard rumblings of it at the boat show and the talk was an April release..seems a little agressive to me thought.
There are so many different X##'s that they all just blend together....
I agree that the X45 is a great layout and design.....
The only thing that I heard about the new X45, was that it would be more like a large version of the X25. Being as the X25 sells 2x to almost every other MC (x30 is getting there also), I wouldn't be surprised if that was the direction they headed in. I certainly think the X25 is a good layout. It is a lot better than the X35 and X55.
A larger version of the 25 might be a good addition. That being said, I think a deep-v would be a bad idea for the handling on the X45. I think they should keep the hull, and just "update" the interior a little bit. Similar to the refresh on the X2.
I think they should overhaul the x2 hull and go with an x25 style hull personally. I've never ridden an x2 but friends have told me the wake is on the smaller side. The hybrid v hull goes further on a smaller boat IMO
Also as far as I know the new star is a return to the gen 1 star style of hull, which is shared with a nautique style, not a V but multiple steps down to the bottom of the hull. Redesigns may follow this trend, I could be wrong but that's what I had heard about the star.
The gen 2 star was such a reliable hull. I would love to see an upstart company buy that mold and rework it in places and develop a budget boat. Chances of that happening are slim, I know, but it would be nice to see that hull return. Sorry off topic I know but we were on the subject of hulls #endrant

The boys of One Direction may already have adoring fans around the world. But let's remember that they wouldn't be here without their parents.
So rather than letting the boys take most of the credit, a duo who goes by the name Big Clown Little Clown have released a song dedicated to the mums of One Direction. And due to its popularity, the two are even releasing it to the public to help raise money for a charity that benefits sick children.
Having listened to the song, Harry Styles' mom Anne Cox is already a fan.
"I first heard the song when Luke & Dave sent it to me a while back, I love it!" she said. "The guys have a brilliant sense of fun, and it's very tongue-in-cheek."
"I know myself how hard it is to raise funds for a charity and the help that this will bring to Believe In Magic is wonderful. It's hard to ask people to 'give give give' all the time, so this gives people a chance to help whilst getting something back," continued Cox. "It's fantastic and I'd personally like to thank the guys on behalf of BIM."
How cute!! Now how about some love for the 1D dads??

When choosing your outdoor fixtures, here are a few things to keep in mind:
Three primary metals are use in Hinkley Outdoor lighting, including solid brass, aluminum, and steel. Variations exist in alloy content, gauge and treatment of these compounds and alloy grades offer endless outcomes.
Cast aluminum fixtures are more durable as they are made of raw aluminum with no supplemental material in the cast. Cast aluminum is not recommended for coastal use, but will have a longer life in normal climates. There are two basic methods of casting aluminum: die casting and sand casting, die casting is considered superior and yields more precise details.
Solid aluminum fixtures are the most durable of the aluminum processes. Solid aluminum fixtures tend to fare better in coastal applications as there is no corrosion, though the finish will fade or flake off if a powder coating has been applied.
Solid brass fixtures will not deteriorate at coastal applications and are suitable for most applications. The makeup of the lacquer coatings vary depending on where the fixture is manufactured, but once the lacquer has dissolved, the fixture will usually darken over time.

Euro Pares Drop Versus Dollar After Italian Industrial Output
By Oct 10, 2012-
The euro pared a decline against the dollar as a report showed Italian industrial production unexpectedly rose in August.
The 17-member currency weakened 0.1 percent to $1.2869 at 9:06 a.m. London time, after earlier touching $1.2835, the lowest since Oct. 1. It was little changed at 100.78 yen.
Italian industrial production rose 1.7 percent from July, when it contracted a revised 0.1 percent. Economists forecast a decline of 0.5 percent, according to the median of 18 estimates in a Bloomberg News survey.

IIRC the GPL is written to say something like ``you may have the code under this license, or, at your option, any later version.'' The authors of the GPL anticipated (learned from?) the dilemma that Berkeley did not. So, the question becomes, why are the advertising and documentation clauses (hyopthetically) so unacceptable to the FSF that BSD-licensed code is ocnsidered ``less free than the GPL?'' Note, we are not asking them to offer their code under the BSD license that doesn't ensure the freeness of future versions. Nor are we asking them to in effect add an advertising/documentation clause to the GPL--the BSD license is not ``viral'' in that respect, to the extent that you can: 1. Link GPL'ed code with BSD code 2. Modify the GPL'ed code while it is part of the half-BSD-licensed project 3. Remove the GPL'ed code and distribute it without the encumberance of an advertising clause If they want to prevent us from tacking on a BSD license above their GPL license, that makes sense. But, why would it be an ideological problem to explicitly declare (within the GPL) that ``BSD-ish advertising clauses fitting the following template are not considered `unfree' for the purposes of linked executables, as long as the GPL'ed portion of the aggregate project's source code is made available for separate redistribution without the encumberance of an advertising clause. The linked or aggregated work, however, _may_ be encumbered by this _specific_ clause so long as the GPL'ed _source_ code within the aggregation is offered separately and without the encumberance.'' This is crufty and complicated, but would produce a considerable social good. Does anyone know to what extent BSD developers have opened a dialogue with the FSF, regarding whether or not this minimum-useful-adjustment fits with their idealogy? They are in a much better position to change their license than we are. -- Miles Nordin / v:+1 720 841-8308 fax:+1 530 579-8680 555 Bryant Street PMB 182 / Palo Alto, CA 94301-1700 / US

The City Council has taken another step toward getting a new municipal constitution before voters.
Last week, the council voted 2-1 to include instant runoff elections in the proposed city charter, which a panel of citizens drafted.
Council members have said they wanted some type of runoff in the charter to make sure that the mayor and council members get the support of a majority of voters. As it stands, only Councilwoman Diane Moore got more than 50 percent.

Had it been set anywhere but New York City, Westfield's raucous debut would be viewed as an absurdist tale, but in the shadow of 9/11 and bolstered by Westfield's accessible prose, it's a striking portrait of life in the Big Apple. Andy Green, a Hell's Kitchen denizen, pays the rent by writing tricky multiple-choice questions for an educational testing service and soon finds himself quasi-managing the floundering cabaret career of his Russian emigre friend, Sonia Obolensky. One night, while attending her crummy cabaret show, Andy becomes smitten with Sonia's new mentor, Brad Willet. Young, handsome and independently wealthy, Brad devotes himself to worthy causes, prompting Andy to do the same. But when Brad abruptly cuts Andy off, he dives into a downward spiral that's exacerbated by a hate crime and 9/11. Andy goes off the deep end and doesn't leave his apartment for months. Though the reader will likely be ahead of Andy in figuring out that both Sonia and Brad are not who they appear to be (the answer lies in a surprising backstory set in Michigan a generation ago), Andy's story is a wild one.
