Salt Lake City Blind Cafe | Coming 2017
Dec 1 - 2, 2016 HAS BEEN CANCELLED!
WE ARE RESCHEDULING FOR 2017 dates & will announce them soon!
Please Get On The Mail List Below!
Thursday, Friday & Saturday | Two shows per night 6PM & 8:30PM | To-Be-Announced Venue
A couple notes before you buy tickets to our experience.
The Blind Cafe is NOT a blind awareness organization.
The Blind Cafe is a fiscally sponsored 'Arts & Social Change' organization, operating under the 501(c)3 of the Boulder County Arts Alliance. The Blind Cafe was started by Colorado musician Rosh in 2010, to explore using the concept of live music & community discussion in total 'darkness' as a positive social change exploration, in how people relate to one another without their visual conditioning, social etiquette & their cell phones. The Blind Cafe Experience has a 'blind awareness' component facilitated by legally blind keynote blind speakers that we are very proud to present but it's not the only focus of The Blind Cafe Experience.
The Blind Cafe is NOT a fund-raising event.
The Blind Cafe is a fiscally sponsored project under The Boulder under the 501(c)3 of the Boulder County Arts Alliance. Our events are designed to initiate social change while providing an awesome entertaining and educational experience touching on various social change subjects. Donations collected at our events or through our fiscal sponsor, as grants or private donors go towards continuing and expanding our reach, to bring these impactful event worldwide.
We are not simulating what it is like to be blind!
You will get an insight into blindness by hearing the stories of our awesome legally blind staff and participating in a discussion together but you are NOT going to experience what it's like to actually be a blind person, that's just not possible to be in another persons shoes like that.
The Blind Cafe Experience is NOT just another dinner in the dark!
The Blind Cafe event you are about to sign up for is NOT, a regular dinner in the dark! If you want a regular dinner in the dark, there are some restaurants in California and New York where it is solely about the food and you sit with the table mates you come with and it's like a regular restaurant but in the dark. The Blind Cafe Experience is a social experience, of music, socializing and learning through community, where you will literally break bread with other attendees at 6 - 8 person tables. In addition, there will be a group discussion between the audience ( you ) and our amazing warm heart felt legally Blind keynote speakers. As well, you are signing up for a live music listening concert, performed with the intention of helping you to remember how to feel and listen, to music without your visual conditioning and social etiquette and cell phones!
You are signing for thought provoking, socially challenging & entertaining music experience
The Blind Cafe can be a very powerful experience and at times challenging, but that's what you signing up for right? You will be in the pitch dark for several hours without your habitual ways of checking out as you might in a lighted setting. You will literally have to relinquish control. Uncomfortable feelings may come up for you in the dark. If this happens, stay present, breath and bring attention to whatever is coming up for you emotionally and use this upset as an opportunity to learn about yourself and expand your comfort zone. Your experience will depend on your ability to be with yourself, when you don't know what to do.
Remember whatever comes up for you in the dark, make room for it ;)
Your Ticket Price Includes:
- A Delicious Vegetarian Sensory Tasting Dinner (explore your senses!) *Vegan/Gluten-Free To Be Inclusive of Most Diets
- A tall glass of wine ( and other thirst quenching beverages. )
- An amazing dark chocolate dessert!
- A Unique Question and Answer Discussion in the dark w/ your Blind Waitstaff and 70 other guests!

Review of Useful, Usable, Desirable
I finally finished reading Useful, Usable, Desirable: Applying User Experience Design to Your Library, written by Aaron Schmidt and Amanda Etches. This is a killer manual for any library staff member to have at your desk, no matter what your job is. Disclaimer: I do know both Aaron and Amanda personally, but a disclaimer to that disclaimer…this book is fucking awesome regardless of who wrote it.
With a background in web design and a dabbling in user experience, I often take for granted the importance of thinking consciously about your user's perspective, about the ease of use of every aspect of your services, and about re-evaluating user experiences on a regular basis. But I seem to be less talented at trying to explain these concepts to the staff who work for our library.
And that's where this book will come in handy. I recently had staff do a Signage Secret Shopper exercise eat the end of our staff meeting. They would pick a common task our users need to complete when they come to the library, enter from both of our separate entrances, and note any wayfinding problems or distractions on either path. Sadly (but not surprisingly) staff found A LOT of problems. But…now what to do? Reading through this book's section on signage and wayfinding, I now have key principles to hand to our soon-to-be-created signage taskforce. Better yet, these are principles that experts in user experience came up with, not me. Because we all know a message means more when it comes from someone outside your own workplace.
The book will continue to be useful to me as it offers a veritable checklist to follow as you inventory your own library's wins and losses in the user experience arena. They even provide an actual scorecard to score your library overall. I'm tempted to have staff score us, and then take a field trip to score a nearby library who I know does better.
This book covers the gamut of library user experiences: your physical space, service points, policies and customer services, signage and wayfinding, online presence, and using the library. I could probably work for the next year on bringing our library into alignment with the principles outlined in this book, and I can honestly say it would be a year well-spent.
For some achievable ideas for how to make your community's experience in your library better, try this book out. An investment that will keep paying you back every time you make an improvement.

From Concept to Showroom: 1965 Ford Mustang Sketches
As the Ford Mustang's 50th anniversary approaches, the automaker continues to release historical data about the original pony car. New concept sketches and images of clay models showing the path from the original 1963 Mustang 1 Concept to the production model available in April, 1964 are the latest pieces released.
Not only did the Mustang go through many designs, but also many names including Avventura, Allegro, Avanti, Cougar, and Torino. A Thunderbird-inspired design was among the first sketches, and the Avanti hatchback featured rear-facing seats. Although the concepts had different details, each one featured a long hood and short deck.
Gale Halderman's sketch was chosen after a design competition in 1962, and was turned into a clay model two weeks later and eventually formed the basis of the production car. Initially, the car was dubbed Cougar and had a right-facing cat in the grille. Each side of the clay model had different side scoops, while the right side had a shorter door. Over time, different side scoops and wheel arch shapes were tried on the clay and fiberglass models.
See the latest 2015 Ford Mustang Spy Shots here: 2015 Ford Mustang Spied Undisguised
While hardtop and convertible models were initially approved for production, several fastback designs were proposed. Halderman designed a roofline that went all the way to the back of the car, while his boss Joe Oros preferred a small rear deck. The 1965 Mustang fastback followed Oros' design, while the 1967 Mustang fastback adopted Halderman's roofline. Like the original Mustang 1 Concept, sketches of a two-door variant were also made.
Other Mustang sketches and concepts featured a rear split window, an extended nose and tail, and cut-down roof, which eventually became the Mustang II Concept that was shown at the US Grand Prix at Watkins Glen in October, 1963.
Although many of the original design elements - and names - didn't make it to the 1965 Mustang production cars, some of them showed up on later first-generation Mustangs and on other Ford and Mercury products.
Check out the images below of the proposed Mustang designs and watch the video about the original Mustang 1 Concept.

The Northwest Conference is building a reputation as one of the most competitive NCAA Division III alliances in the country. The nine private colleges and universities situated throughout Oregon and Washington are nationally competitive in a broad spectrum of sports.
The NWC has continually reinvented itself throughout the past 75 years. Formed in 1926, the conference is one of the oldest athletic alliances in the western United States. The NWC's current Oregon-based membership includes Linfield, Lewis and Clark, Willamette, Pacific and George Fox. The members from the state of Washington are Puget Sound, Pacific Lutheran, Whitman and Whitworth.
Charter members included Willamette, Pacific, Whitman, the College of Puget Sound (UPS), Linfield and the College of Idaho. Lewis & Clark joined in 1931 when it was known as Albany College. It remained for seven years, departed, and returned in 1949 using its present name. PLU was added in 1965 and Whitworth became a member in 1970. The College of Idaho (now known as Albertson College of Idaho) dropped out in 1978. Whitworth left the NWC in 1984 but returned in 1988.
The Northwest Conference, which for years sponsored athletic competition exclusively for men's sports, and the Women's Conference of Independent Colleges joined forces in 1984 to become the Northwest Conference of Independent Colleges. The name was shortened back to Northwest Conference in 1998.
Four years ago, all nine conference institutions shifted national affiliation from the NAIA to the NCAA.
Leaving behind years of success at the NAIA level, the conference embraced the move as one that would foster equity, sportsmanship and genuine concern for the student-athlete in all endeavors of competition.
Colleges and universities in NCAA Division III place the highest priority on the overall quality of the education experience and on the successful completion of all students' academic programs. They seek to establish and maintain an environment in which a student-athlete's sports activities are conducted as an integral part of his or her educational experience.
Division III institutions also seek to establish and maintain an environment that values cultural diversity and gender equity among their student-athletes and athletic staff.

WASHINGTON – The $60 billion New Jersey and New York sought for relief from superstorm Sandy will get House votes in the next two weeks, northeastern lawmakers said today after meeting with House Speaker John Boehner and Majority Leader Eric Cantor.
"The commitment is iron-clad," said U.S. Rep. Chris Smith (R., N.J.). "That's why it was such a short meeting."
The new plan calls for a vote on $9 billion on Friday -- to replenish a flood insurance program set to run out of money next week -- and a vote on $51 billion of funds Jan. 15. The $51 billion will be split into two parts -- one for immediate needs, and one for long-term projects.
Republicans from the northeast expressed gratitude and satisfaction for the about-face on the bill, which was pulled from a scheduled vote late last night, infuriating officials from the northeast. In response early Wednesday, Gov. Christie excoriated Boehner by name in a remarkable press conference carried live on CNN. Republicans and Democrats alike took to the House floor saying they felt outraged and betrayed. U.S. Rep. Peter King, a New York Republican, called the cancelled vote a "disgrace" a "knife in the back" to the region and said on cable television that New Jerseyans and New Yorkers should "have their head examined" if they donate any money to House Republicans.
King, though, led the lawmakers who said they were happy with the resolution, though, after a brief 3 p.m. meeting with House leaders.
"I am satisfied with this commitment and we'll be watching very closely to make sure that it is held," said U.S. Rep. Frank LoBiondo (R., N.J.). He said he looked for "any hint" that there might be division from the Repubilcan leaders.

"The majority leader and the speaker were of the same voice, with the same total, full 100 percent, 1,000 percent commtiment. No variation, nothing could get in the way. Nothing could happen, nothing could screw it up, so I will take that."
There are still significant hurdles, though, that will be caused by the delay. Because the current session of Congress is about to end, the full $60 billion package will also have to go through the Senate for a second time, navigating a chamber where the bill already passed once, but still faces opposition. It's not clear when that vote could be scheduled.
Also, the package will be broken into three parts in the House, adding extra steps for passing the measure. And while local lawmakers believed they had the votes they needed Tuesday night, now they will have to lobby new members of Congress to support their bill. Some conservative Republicans in the House have complained that the Sandy bill is too bloated and should be cut down.
"That bothers me," LoBiondo said of having to round up votes a second time on what he thought was a settled issue. "We need a result - and all that matters here is the result."
Lawmakers who met with Boehner offered only vague explanations for why the Tuesday night vote was yanked, citing the chaos of the night after the late vote on a deal to avert the fiscal cliff.
King, who had ripped Boehner, said the speaker called him a colorful name -- "with a smile" -- when they first sat down this afternoon.
Last night, King said, Christie's comments were "far more obscene" than what Boehner said. "And he wasn't saying it with a smile last night."
President Obama has called for a vote today on the $60 billion superstorm Sandy relief bill that was stalled in the House late Tuesday night.
"When tragedy strikes, Americans come together to support those in need. I urge Republicans in the House of Representatives to do the same, bring this important request to a vote today, and pass it without delay for our fellow Americans," Obama said in a statement released this afternoon.
His comments come as a chorus of furious lawmakers from New Jersey and New York – both Democrats and Republicans -- have taken to the House floor and airwaves today saying they were "betrayed" by Republican leaders in the House. In stark terms they singled out Speaker John Boehner and laid bare internal strife among Hous Republicans that they said derailed the bill.
U.S. Rep. Peter King, a New York Republican, in a stunning speech on the House floor, said, "I can't imagine that type of indifference, that type of disregard, that cavalier attitude being shown to any other part of the country."
"This is a disaster on top of a disaster," said U.S. Rep. Frank LoBiondo, whose district includes Atlantic City, his voice rising.
"Absurd, absolutely absurd. We demand nothing less than we have given to the rest of the country," he said, citing the support New Jerseyans give other parts of the country when those regions are hit by disaster.
Northeastern lawmakers had expected a vote today to give final approval to the relief and rebuilding bill, but late Tuesday night, after the wrangling on the fiscal cliff finally ended, word came down that there would be no vote, essentially killing the bill for this session and forcing the House and Senate to start over on the relief bill later this month. The measure had already cleared a difficult Senate vote, but will now have to begin that process anew.
King said Boehner's "dismissive attitude" toward the northeast "typifies a strain" in Republican politics.
Lawmakers applauded as he concluded his speech.
King on Tuesday afternoon told reporters that a vote was planned for Wednesday and that lawmakers from hard-hit states had gathered enough votes to assure the plan would pass. The change in plans explains his ire.
Republicans from New Jersey and New York are scheduled to meet with Boehner this afternoon.
"The Speaker will make the supplemental his first priority in the new Congress," a Boehner aide said.
Local officials, though, said that means going again through the Senate, and said local residents and businesses need faster answers. The federal government has enough funding to provide disaster relief through the spring. The supplemental spending bill would add funds for long-term aid.
Democrats and Republicans from New Jersey and New York delivered impassioned speeches on the House floor this morning. Several praised Majority Leader Eric Cantor, the House's number two Republican, who sometimes clashes with Boehner and was at odds with the speaker Tuesday over legislation to avert the fiscal cliff. Instead, they targeted Boehner.
The attacks came from all sides. U.S. Rep. Frank LoBiondo, a New Jersey Republican, said the decision would result in an economic calamity that hampers shore rebuilding. Democrat Bill Pascrell, from North Jersey, said it was "time to take the gloves off, Jersey style."
New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie has a press conference scheduled at 2 p.m.
The attacks from Democrats are perhaps not surprising, but the level of vitriol from Republicans is eye opening.
Earlier in the day, on Fox News, King said, "anyone from New York or New Jersey who contributes one penny to congressional Republicans is out of their minds. Because what they did last night was put a knife in the back of New Yorkers and New Jerseyans. It was an absolute disgrace."

SACRAMENTO — Pushing aggressively ahead of other states, California on Thursday moved closer to requiring that all new smartphones come equipped with a "kill switch" that renders the device useless if stolen or lost.
Senate Bill 962, authored by Sen. Mark Leno, D-San Francisco, and championed by San Francisco District Attorney George Gascón and other law-enforcement authorities, easily cleared the Assembly on a 53-20 vote. The Senate has already passed the bill but needs to sign off on a few Assembly amendments before sending it to Gov. Jerry Brown, who is expected to sign it into law.
Leno believes the California bill could become a national template and drive down smartphone thefts and robberies — which in recent years have become an urban plague. "Because of the size of our market and what we have seen in the past with other issues, it becomes the way the nation operates," Leno said.
Brown has not yet commented on the bill. But Assemblywoman Nancy Skinner, D-Berkeley, who co-sponsored the proposed legislation with Leno, said: "It would be hard for me to imagine him vetoing this bill because it's such a common-sense consumer measure.
"No one should be subject to being mugged or robbed because they do what every one of us do, which is walking and talking with a smartphone in our hand, or sitting on a BART train or at a cafe with our phone. It's part of our daily lives."
The bill requires that any smartphone manufactured after July 1, 2015, and is then sold in California include software or hardware — or both — allowing the phone to be shut down by an authorized user after the phone is stolen or lost.
Once that happens, the phone becomes inoperable and useless to thieves. Leno said if it is later retrieved by the owner, or mistakenly shut down, the bill requires that the kill switch will be reversible. However, there will be no guarantee that any information stored on the smartphone will still be there.
In the past year, Consumer Reports says, smartphone-related crimes have nearly doubled nationwide. About 3.1 million devices were stolen in 2013, up from 1.6 million in 2012. Based on those numbers, a Creighton University study estimates, mandatory kill switches on smartphones would save consumers more than $3 billion nationwide.
Leno's bill is similar to one Minnesota passed into law in May that applies to smartphones and tablets. But some industry analysts characterize that effort as weaker than California's because it does not require technology to be installed as a default setting in either device. Instead, the Minnesota law allows consumers to decide if they want to "opt in" to the technology.
"If you're going to do something like this (bill), turn it on and make it the default," said Ken Dulaney, a vice president and analyst for Gartner Research with expertise in smartphones and tablets.
Dulaney said most people buy a phone and "just live with it the way it's set up when they buy it." The opt-in measure Minnesota has passed requires the buyer to remember to turn on the kill switch feature, and a lot of consumers might not take the time to do that, he said.
Many Republicans in the California Legislature, however, oppose the bill.
"This is another example of California thinking it knows better than our technology innovators and the customers they serve in the state," said Assemblyman Jim Patterson, R-Fresno. "There is an implication in this bill, an implication that I think is laughable, that Californians are too lazy or inept to know what they want, how to find it, how to use it, to secure their own devices."
But Leno said he was insistent that the kill switch be a default setting.
"In order for this technology to be effective, it must be pervasive, and it must be ubiquitous, or the criminal might still feel there is benefit in stealing your phone," he said.
SB 962 is supported by the California District Attorneys Association, California Police Chiefs Association and California Sheriffs Association. In addition, tech and wireless companies such as Apple, AT&T, Blackberry, Google, Microsoft, Samsung and Verizon have all removed earlier opposition to the bill.
CTIA, a wireless trade association, announced early this year that it would "voluntarily" implement theft-deterrent technology on new phones starting in 2015. But kill switch advocates said that was an inadequate solution because consumers would have to find, download and activate the solution themselves.
A spokeswoman for the group said she was disappointed by Thursday's vote.
"The safety and security of wireless users is the wireless industry's top priority, and we've taken significant actions to provide consumers with the tools and information needed to help deter smartphone theft," said Jamie Hastings, vice president, external and state affairs for CTIA.
Hastings pointed to stolen-phone databases, consumer education campaigns and anti-theft apps. She said state-by-state technology mandates would ultimately stifle innovation.
Gartner's Dulaney said there is also concern within the industry that companies could lose the revenue they receive from smartphone insurance policies.
He acknowledged CTIA's concern about hackers breaking into people's smartphone software and activating the kill switch, ruining the phone for the consumers.
"But I think that is a rare occurrence," he said.

Sales and Use Tax:
County Permissive Sales and Use Tax Collections for Calendar Year 2014, by Industrial Classification
Under Ohio law, the Ohio Department of Taxation administers the sales and use tax of those counties and transit authorities that impose such a tax. Revenue collected from the tax is distributed to the counties and transit authorities in the second month after the month the return is filed.
This table displays county permissive sales and use taxes collected in calendar year 2014 (CY 2014), by industrial classification. (Transit authorities are excluded from this table.) Such amounts were distributed to the counties during the March 2014 through February 2015 period. The 30 industrial classifications used in this table are based on the North American Industrial Classification System (NAICS) codes self-reported by taxpayers. The table provides the specific NAICS code ranges comprising each classification.
All counties imposed a permissive sales and use tax throughout CY 2014 with the levies ranging from 0.50 percent to 1.50 percent. CY 2014 receipts from the county permissive sales and use tax totaled approximately $1,851.7 million. Based on statewide total county permissive sales tax collections, the Motor Vehicle and Parts Dealers classification (which includes taxes collected on the sale of motor vehicles) comprises the largest category, at approximately $368.8 million, or approximately 19.9 percent of the total. This is followed by the Miscellaneous Store Retailers, and General Merchandise Stores categories, respectively. Statewide, the smallest industrial category was the Agriculture, Forestry, and Fishing category, which accounted for approximately $1.2 million, or approximately 0.07 percent of the total. Note that the counties vary in the degree by which they depend on the various industrial categories, although Motor Vehicle and Parts Dealers is the largest category in all but 5 counties.
The table includes all types of sales and use tax accounts, including "direct payment" and "consumer use" accounts in which the appropriate tax is paid directly by the purchaser, rather than the seller, to the state. Because such purchasers are included in this table, many industries not typically involved in making taxable retail sales (such as manufacturing) are represented.
Data shown in this publication are from records of the Ohio Department of Taxation.

The Best Kinds of Low-Carb Snacks
Low/no-carb snacks can be an excellent choice for people with diabetes to satisfy cravings between meals, while still keeping blood glucose levels under control, according to Elizabeth Staum, MS, RD, LDN, Nutrition Educator at Joslin Diabetes Center.
Diabetes Snacking Habits
Your snacking habits with diabetes should depend on the type of diabetes medication you're taking and your diabetes meal plan. If you take oral diabetes medications, you may want to eat smaller meals and have more substantial snacks with protein, to keep you from getting hungry and overeating.
If you take insulin, Staum says it's better to eat the majority of your carbs at mealtimes, when you still have insulin coverage. Depending on your need for insulin, your snack should usually have 15 grams of carbs or less.
Snacks are beneficial for people with diabetes whose blood glucose tends to drop at a certain time of day even after adjusting their insulin regimen, Staum says. People with diabetes also benefit from carb-containing snacks pre- and post-exercise, when blood glucose can drop as well.
Key Ingredients in a Good Diabetes Snack
People with diabetes should choose snacks that are full of healthful nutrients such as protein, fiber, and vitamins and minerals. Snacks rich in protein and fiber make your snack more satisfying, Staum says. Snack ideas that contain protein can include choices such as:
- Natural peanut butter
- Low fat cheese or cottage cheese
- Unsalted nuts
- Egg
- Yogurt
- Milk
To get more fiber, and vitamins and minerals, try eating vegetables, fruits, or whole grain crackers or bread. Snacks for people with diabetes should also be heart-healthy, meaning low in sodium (140 mg per serving or less), low in saturated fat, and no trans fat.
Review your diabetes goals with your health care team to see how snacking can be incorporated into your diabetes meal plan.
To make an appointment with a nutrition educator, please call (617) 732-2400.

On Our Radar: Why Do Lawyers Make Bad Bosses?
When you send an email to several colleagues, do you type the addresses in descending order of seniority? That's protocol at some law firms, reports Lawyerist, noting that senior partners have chastened subordinates for incorrectly ordering the recipients of their messages.

And, while we're on the topic…Why are lawyers such horrible bosses? That's the question posed by Fortune, which seeks to explain why the legal industry — despite a history of doling out high salaries and bonuses — continues to see such high employee turnover. –Leslie Kwoh

Steyer goes big in Va. gov race
Tom Steyer, the environmentalist billionaire who has mounted a national campaign opposing the Keystone XL pipeline, has directed his political operation to spend heavily in the Virginia governor's race in support of Democrat Terry McAuliffe, POLITICO has learned.
Steyer, a California-based financier, instructed advisers on Friday to launch television ads starting this week. The paid-media blitz from his group, NextGen Climate Action, will be the opening salvo in what's expected to be a much larger effort aimed at mobilizing and turning out climate-oriented voters in a key off-year gubernatorial race.
Story Continued Below
The enterprise will be a test both of Steyer's individual influence in electoral politics, and of the impact of heavily-funded advocacy politics within the Democratic Party. The bet, for Steyer, is that making climate issues a prominent part of the Virginia election will nudge the center of national politics in a greener direction, shaping the political landscape for 2014 and 2016 and giving environmental interests a stronger hand to play in Washington policy debates.
( PHOTOS: Terry McAuliffe's career)
It will be Steyer's second major foray this year into electoral politics, after he funded a turnout operation in Massachusetts on behalf of now-Sen. Ed Markey in the special election to replace Secretary of State John Kerry. In 2012, he put about $30 million into a successful home-state ballot initiative, Proposition 39, which will require multi-state companies to pay higher taxes in California and put a percentage of the proceeds toward energy efficiency.
Plans for Steyer to play in Virginia have been in the works for some time now: his consultants have already polled the state and drawn up plans for an extensive voter contact and turnout effort. But the timetable for spending money on television accelerated last week in reaction to stepped-up advertising on the Republican side.
In a lengthy interview with POLITICO, Steyer outlined the thinking behind his decision to engage in Virginia, calling Republican nominee Ken Cuccinelli an environmentalist's nightmare and describing the 2013 election as an opportunity to send a national message about the power of climate-oriented politics.
( 50 Politicos to watch: Tom Steyer)
"I would say there's a very clear choice on this topic between these two candidates, and I think the citizens of Virginia deserve to understand both what the truth is and what the implications of that are," Steyer said, in a wide-ranging conversation that began during a visit to Richmond and continued through his drive up to Washington D.C.
Climate has already become a flashpoint in the race between McAuliffe, the former chairman of the Democratic National Committee; and Cuccinelli, the sitting state attorney general. McAuliffe has run ads accusing Cuccinelli of a "witch hunt" against University of Virginia climate scientist Michael Mann, who was the subject of a probe by Cuccinelli's office into whether Mann manipulated climate data. The Virginia Supreme Court later ruled that Cuccinelli did not have the authority to investigate Mann's research, and other reviews cleared Mann of wrongdoing.
Cuccinelli, meanwhile, has said on the campaign trail that McAuliffe is an instrument of national liberal interests, including environmental groups hostile to Virginia's historic connection to the coal industry. In addition to charging that McAuliffe will put fossil-fuel jobs at risk, Cuccinelli and his allies have attacked McAuliffe's role in founding and promoting the company GreenTech Automotive, an electric-car manufacturer that has not produced the jobs or the cars it initially promised.
( Also on POLITICO: Terry McAuliffe's rainmaker days)
Steyer's involvement in the Virginia race is likely to raise the already-significant stakes in the debate over energy and the environment, elevating a set of issues that reflect the left-right cultural gap between McAuliffe and Cuccinelli.

The jury's in, so to speak, on the latest RVBusiness/Blue Ox Survey question, and industry respondents have returned their most lopsided decision to date on the question of whether the North American recreational vehicle industry, for a variety of reasons, should better coordinate its new model introductions.
A commanding 88% of those posting their opinions say they'd prefer a more coordinated new model introduction cycle – something more akin to the auto industry where new releases all debut in a relatively narrow window of time, most likely in the fall. Only 12% would prefer to see things stay the way they are, where new models debut virtually non-stop year-round, from April to April.
Here's the essence of what people were telling us in the latest round of a periodic survey sponsored by Blue Ox, the Pender, Neb.-based RV industry supplier, and administered by RVBusiness and RVBUSINESS.com:
"For dealers in the north, model change happens in the middle of the spring show season. Hardly fair to be competing in an already tough market with perceived non-current inventory that the dealers carried all winter. August/September would be the best time for model change allowing for a structured retailing program year round and especially for dealing non-current models." — Anonymous
"Follow more closely to what the U.S. auto industry does." — Anonymous
"Credibility is lost when a manufacturer jumps a model year prior to a calendar year (Ex: 2013 models sold in 2011). The industry regulating the timing for model year change-over would be a great thing to add consumer confidence to an industry lacking notable guidance." — Brad, Southern RV
"I would rather be selling 2013s instead of 2012s. Early introduction allows 20 months or more before your product becomes aged in the public's mind. You can get more for the 2013 than your competitor across town selling a similar 2012 model. You have all spring and summer to get rid of your 2012s. Dealers who want to keep ordering 2012s all spring and summer have things bass-ackwards, In my opinion, if you should get overstocked in the spring and summer, better to be overstocked with 2013s!" — Lee Litchfield, Lee's RV Superstore
"Having a consistent dated new model introduction would level the playing field for those that come out early to get an advantage. More importantly, dealers being mfg partners, would respond better and could plan consistent inventory and consistent purchasing without fear of what dealers will receive in when built. — Rob Reid, President, Great Lakes RV Center
"New model release dates are part of the marketing plan by the manufacturer and the manufacturer must decide in concert with his dealers what is best. If dealers don't like the release dates by their manufacturing partner, then they should change brands." — Anonymous
"I think it would be great if they could be on a coordinated approach so that our customers aren't so confused about new models b/c new car models come out next month for the 2013 year, so why not something like that for trailers? It also messes up the values of the previous year model, even if it was built the same year, dealers don't want to keep having to drop the price for 'last year's model' because a new model came out two months later. They (the manufacturers) need to agree on a coordinated approach to improve the overall RV business as a whole, and I know quality is not the main topic here, but a lot of them are still building substandard units and customers can tell." — Anonymous
"A more coordinated approach to new model introductions would make it easier on all parties involved. However, I seriously doubt that the process can be controlled and monitored to the point that all manufacturers would comply." – Keith Griffin, Bison Coach, LLC, A Navistar Company
"It would be great if they would all follow one release date unfortunately it all boils down to the almighty dollar. If brand "X" can get their latest greatest out before Brand "A" then the dealers will use their floorplan money to buy brand "X" with none left for brand "A". This is the same reason the mfg shows have started in Elkhart, IN two months before the Louisville show to try to get the dealers to use all their money so they don't have anything to spend at Louisville." — Anonymous
Look for a new RVB/Blue Ox Survey question — on foreign trade — early next week.

Taylor Swift Shares Another Clue For New Music (Maybe) [PHOTO]by Mandi Salerno | PopCrush
Swifties, get your mental gears going — Taylor Swift dropped another clue for her upcoming surprise! Could it be new music?!
No one is positive what it's for, but considering we're getting closer to the release of Taylor's next album, it seems like most of her fans are making the educated guess that the clues are leading up to a new single.
The latest clue was posted to the 'Red' star's Instagram today (Aug. 6). The pic features her new kitten Olivia Benson — still as adorable as ever — and, most importantly, the timestamp 5:00.
The teaser follows her first clue posted earlier this week (Aug. 4) of a video of the singer hitting an elevator button for a building's 18th floor. Though the clues are intentionally vague, we're going to toss out the theory that they point to a single release on Aug. 18 at 5PM.
Hopefully T. Swift releases more hints over the next two weeks, because as of right now, we don't have much to go on!
PopCrushers, what do you think the clues mean?

Pineapple Tofu Recipe with King Mushrooms
Pineapple tofu with king mushrooms is a great dish for both vegetarians and "meat-atarians", as my little munchkin would say. King mushrooms, also known as "abalone mushrooms", have a very meaty, chewy texture that I love. They complement the pineapple really well. If you can't find fresh pineapple, canned crushed pineapple will work fine. I made a sweet and sour sauce using canned pineapple and dipped the fried tofu in the sauce with the mushrooms.
Even if you are a "meat-atarian", it's worth working some vegetable dishes into your diet. It's good for your health, and if you try recipes like this one, it will be good for your tastebuds as well.
Yields: 6 servings1 (12-ounce) package firm tofu (see tips)
1/3 cup canola oil (or any neutral oil)
1 (8-ounce) can crushed pineapple
2 cloves garlic, finely minced
½ teaspoon mushroom seasoning salt (or regular salt)
1 shallot, finely chopped
1 (1-inch) chunk fresh ginger
3 king oyster mushrooms (see tips), sliced
3 tablespoons soy sauce
2 tablespoons grated palm sugar (half of a chunk)
4 sprigs cilantro
½ teaspoon black pepper, freshly ground
Clean the ginger root and remove any dirt. Peel the ginger root with a paring knife (or the edge of a spoon). Cut into 1 to 1-½" matchsticks. Set aside.
Drain and cut the tofu into ½-inch slices. Cut the slices crosswise into small rectangles. In a wok, heat the canola oil. Pan-fry the slices on both sides until golden and puffy. The tofu should have a nice fried outer crust and still be moist inside. Transfer the tofu onto paper towels. Sprinkle with mushroom seasoning salt. Set aside.
In a bowl, dissolve the palm sugar with 3 tablespoons of water. Warm it in the microwave (or on the stove in a small saucepan). Set aside.
Using the same wok, remove 2-3 tablespoons of oil. Add the shallots and cook until golden. Add the mushrooms slices. Cook for about 2-3 minutes. Season with mushroom seasoning salt. Transfer to a platter with the mushroom juice.
Add more oil (if necessary) to the wok. Add the garlic and fresh ginger. As the garlic becomes slightly golden, add the crushed pineapple, palm sugar liquid and soy sauce. Bring to a boil; add a little more water (2-3 tablespoons) if necessary. Add the tofu pieces and mushrooms. Stir constantly until the sauce is absorbed by the fried tofu. Once the water evaporates, check the doneness of the mushrooms. Finish with black pepper and cilantro.
Serve with steamed jasmine rice.
Eat with chopsticks!
You can find king oyster mushrooms in Asian stores.
To guarantee good absorption of the pineapple sauce by the fried tofu, make sure you don't add too much oil to the mixture.
The soy sauce brings saltiness to the dish and a nice amber brown color. My favorite soy sauce is the Da Bo De brand. It has a good flavor and is not too salty. You can find this particular sauce at Dai Thanh Asian market on 420 S 2nd St, in downtown San Jose. I think this is one of the best "ethnic" grocery stores in the area.
If you have leftover pineapple pulp/juice, you could make a pineapple cocktail drink.
I absolutely love Thanh Son brand tofu. If you live in the Bay Area, you have to try it. They sell it in almost all the Asian markets in downtown San Jose, and their main shop is on 2857 Senter Road, San Jose. It's a very little shop but everything is very good. Their factory makes the best tofu texture; it's made fresh daily.
I used tofu for this recipe but you could also substitute seitan for a chewier texture. I think seitan resembles meat a lot.
If you like meat, you could add stir-fried beef flank steak slices.

Kessler News
Kessler Institute for Rehabilitation First in North Jersey to Offer New Bionic Foot to Amputees
February 11, 2009
West Orange, NJ – Kessler Institute for Rehabilitation (www.kessler-rehab.com) is the only center in northern New Jersey and one of the first in the country to offer amputees the new PROPRIO FOOT®, a prosthesis that provides greater flexibility and mobility to its users. This advanced bionic technology, developed by Ossur, a global leader in orthopedic products, closely replicates the function of a natural foot and enables wearers to walk with a more natural and balanced gait.
This high-tech prosthesis earned its name and positive reviews from patients for its ability to detect where the foot is in space – proprioception. Utilizing leading-edge sensor technology and artificial intelligence, the foot is able to identify changes in terrain, slopes and stairs and instruct the ankle to flex appropriately. As a result, patients can move about with greater balance, confidence and safety.
"The advances in bionic technology are simply amazing," said Kessler Prosthetist Joe Reda, who is among the first technicians in the nation to be certified in the fitting of this device. "Kessler clients who have already received this new PROPRIO FOOT are thrilled. They walk better, move more comfortably and can even sit down and get up more easily. They're also able to wear different types of shoes as the foot can easily be adjusted to varying heel heights without compromising proper alignment."
The foot's anatomically correct response creates a more symmetrical and balanced gait, reducing the need to "hip hike" and load body weight on the sound limb. This puts less strain on the leg, knees, hips and back. "Basically, this new technology enables us to more closely replicate the natural functioning of the lost limb and create a better prosthesis for our amputee clients."
Clients are evaluated by a team of Kessler specialists and fitted for the prosthesis. They are also trained on the proper use and maintenance of the device.
According to Gus Eppinger, Director of Kessler Orthotics & Prosthetics Services, "the PROPRIO FOOT is one outstanding example of the many advances being made in bionic technology and prosthetic design. Interestingly, while this particular foot is new to the public, the Department of Defense and the Veterans Administration have been using it for some time to benefit servicemen returning from Iraq and Afghanistan, as well as with veterans of past wars. The good news is that it's now available to amputees in our area."
For more information, contact Kessler Orthotic & Prosthetic Services at 201.368.6029 or 973.992.9700 or visit www.kessler-rehab.com.
