The name-calling continues in the U.S. Senate.
Louisiana Sen. David Vitter, a Republican, lashed out Monday at Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid via Twitter and called the Democrat "an idiot" for his comments comparing Hurricane Katrina and Superstorm Sandy last week.
"The people of New Orleans and that area, they were hurt but nothing in comparison to what happened to people in New York and New Jersey," Reid said Friday, according to his remarks in the Congressional Record.
The comments came during debate on an initial $9.7 billion emergency relief package to pay for Sandy flood insurance claims.
Vitter tweeted Reid "gravely insulted" residents of the Gulf Coast, who were devastated by Katrina's wrath in 2005.
"Katrina and Sandy caused real human misery," Vitter tweeted. "By most measures, Katrina was the worst natural disaster in history."
A few hours after Vitter's tweet, Reid issued a statement about his comments on disaster relief.
"In my recent comments criticizing House Republicans for threatening to betray Congress' tradition of providing aid to disaster victims in a timely fashion regardless of region, I simply misspoke," Reid said. "I am proud to have been an advocate for disaster victims in the face of Republican foot-dragging, from Hurricane Katrina to Hurricane Sandy, from fires in the West to tornadoes in the Midwest."
Reid went on to note in his statement that he's worked with Sen. Mary Landrieu, D-La., on helping people along the Gulf Coast after Katrina and vowed to "advocate on their behalf until the region is fully recovered."
Some numbers about Hurricane Katrina and Superstorm Sandy:
There were 1,833 deaths in Katrina vs. at least 125 in Sandy. Damage from Sandy in the United States, concentrated largely in New York and New Jersey, is estimated to cost $62 billion. Katrina caused $128 billion in damage, when adjusted for inflation. These numbers come from a combination of government reports and the Associated Press.
The House is expected to consider a second installment of Sandy aid on Jan. 15, with this measure providing about $50 billion.

cute but fragile
"These flats are very comfortable and cute, but what you can't tell from the photos is that they do not have a full sole. Just a pad under the front of the shoe and another under the heel. The remaining sole is of the same leather as the upper. I would have destroyed these in one wearing, so I returned them."

The Emery County Public Lands Council meets once a month for updates on issues related to public lands and the agencies that regulate these lands.
It was reported there has been some minor seepage at Joe's Valley dam since the earthquake. The dam was examined right after the earthquake.
At the December meeting Randy Johnson gave an update on the Emery County Public Land use bill. He said they are still working through the process for state approval. The governor's office representatives and Sen. Mike Lee's representatives would be on hand at a meeting that afternoon to discuss the bill. He said they feel pretty good about things as most of the people they are working with, don't feel the county needs to go through state approval with the entire legislature, just the natural resources committee.
Chairman Bruce Wilson called for the agency reports, Paul Birdsey from the Division of Wildlife resources said biologists are counting big game at this time so they can make recommendations to the RAC concerning permit numbers. Ice is forming at some of the higher elevation reservoirs. Joe's Valley will reopen for fishing on Dec. 10.
Bryan Torgerson from SITLA reported they will hold a couple of land sales in the spring. These sales will help settle trespass issues on some land in Huntington Canyon and near the Hatt's Ranch. SITLA is doing OHV signing work in the Cedar Mountain Area, they will also be closing any redundant trails in the area. This will be ongoing work.
Darren Olsen from the United States Forest Service said they are currently selling Christmas tree permits. They are also working on the Winter Quarters coal lease which is for 700 acres near Skyline Mine. Preparations for the Green Hollow coal lease area are also ongoing. The forest service is in the planning stages on several other projects. The timber projects are wrapping up for this season. One extension has been issued to give the company an additional three weeks to haul the logs out.
Olsen was asked about the cabin that is being considered to be destroyed. He said he hasn't heard any more about it, but the owners have been notified that the lease is up.
Ray Petersen said on the other side of the mountain the Seely Creek guard station has been restored and now is available for rentals. He would like to see the lands council develop a statement/policy regarding the retention of these historic structures. Many of these historic cabins have been burned and he thinks that's a loss of history for the county.
Olsen said anytime there are structures in the forest, they require supervision and a lot of the 99 year leases are coming up at this time. Wilson said a statement will be prepared. Petersen said there's not many of these historic cabins left because they have been burned. Mistie Christiansen said there is a cabin on Emery Mountain that should be preserved too.
Dan Richards from state parks reported they will hold an ice fishing tournament on Dec. 31 at Scofield and it's time to register now. They have maps of the snowmobile trails which are groomed if anyone needs one. Mary Tullis is retiring from state parks and Fred Hayes will be the interim director until Mike Styler appoints someone to the position.
A trail is being developed from Huntington North Reservoir into Huntington. Richards said they haven't heard any more about state park closures and they are waiting for the 2.8 million to be restored to their budget.
Currently yearly golf passes are available to Green River golf course for $150 which is a good deal.
Trish Clabaugh, Price BLM field manager gave the BLM update. She said a group finished some clean-up work in Little Wildhorse Canyon and the group would like to do more work in the future. The BLM is looking at developing a campground at Little Wildhorse because it's such a popular hiking area.
The BLM is working on a permit application for drilling exploration at Lila Canyon mine, it's within their existing lease area. The BLM is working with the forest service on the Green Hollow coal lease. They are also coordinating with Blue Castle Holdings on the proposed nuclear power plant facility.
The BLM received a grant for the development of a horse camping area at the swinging bridge campground.
Clabaugh said they have been working on the abandoned mines in the San Rafael closure project. They received a letter from Emery County with the county's concerns outlined. The corrections Emery County had in the past weren't incorporated into the document and the table was wrong she said and these items will be corrected.
Guy Webster, council member said he would like to see it publicized better when the ATV groups do projects on the public lands. Clabaugh said new OHV coordinator Jaydon Mead recently sent out a newsletter and she will see that the newsletter is placed on the BLM website.
Wilson said it's the end of the year and several terms on the lands council are expiring including: Bruce Wilson, Ed Geary, Priscilla Burton, Sherrel Ward, and Mark H. Williams.
Burton said she would not be reapplying and she has enjoyed serving on the council the past six years. She has found the topics interesting and has enjoyed meeting with public officials and the community.
Ward, council member said water totals are down right now and it's a good thing the reservoirs have carry over, although it's early in the water season. Buckflat is 56 percent of average; Mammoth/Cottonwood 70 percent; Seely Creek-30 percent and White River 107 percent. The basinwide average is 62 percent. The first phase of the Huntington/Cleveland salinity project is done, by 2013 the project should be complete. Concerning the Adobe Reservoir the Huntington/Cleveland irrigation company isn't happy with the BLM because they are asking for $60,000 for a 30 year lease on the property and the irrigation company wasn't expecting that. They feel like the BLM wasn't up front with them. Work will begin on phase two of the project throughout this winter season. The Emery Water Conservancy District is trying to build up a reserve in funds, because their facilities are getting older and will need to be updated or replaced in the future.
Gary Kofford said he will not be reapplying to the lands council. Wilson thanked him for his work and all the time he's donated to the county.
Rod Player told about the trail projects completed this summer in the Huntington Canyon area where they worked on 56 miles of trail, refurbishing and removing dead fall. They will be back again next summer as well.
The next public lands meeting will be on Jan. 3, 2012.

I was flipping through an old cookbook last week, looking for ideas. A photo of lamb tikka caught my eye, because the skewered chunks of marinated lamb looked just like seitan. I still had wooden skewers left over from my first attempt at seitan, so I was game.
Foods prepared tikka-style are cut into small pieces, marinated, and then cooked quickly, close to the flame. Chicken in the ubiquitous chicken tikka-masala is prepared this way, then stewed in a creamy sauce.
The seitan needs to marinate for at least 8 hours. The marinade is fragrant, so if you're going to work and don't want to smell like an Indian restaurant, you'll want to make it the night before and just pour the marinade over the seitan in the morning. You could probably use this marinade to cook other things tikka-style: tofu or potatoes might be good. If I had a grill, I would grill this.
I served the seitan with jira rice I first made at an Indian cooking class. The recipe, which I've adjusted slightly over time, belongs to Shruti Mehta. It would be healthier with brown basmati rice, but it's so warm and comforting with white.
Seitan Tikka
(adapted from Williams-Sonoma: Soups, Salads, & Starters)
2 lbs seitan (I doubled the Simple Seitan recipe from Veganomicon, but you could use store-bought seitan, or try this recipe.)1 clove garlic, chopped
1 onion, quartered
1 tablespoon freshly grated ginger
1/2 cup plain soy yogurt
3 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
1 tablespoon garam masala
1 teaspoon cumin
1 teaspoon ground turmeric
1 tablespoon chopped fresh cilantro
1 teaspoon salt
Prepare the seitan by cutting it into 1-2 inch chunks.
Combine the remaining ingredients, garlic through salt, in a blender or food processor and puree. Marinate the seitan in the sauce for at least 8 hours.
Soak a dozen wooden skewers in water for at least thirty minutes before you begin preparing the kebabs. This is critical. You don't want your sticks catching fire.
When the seitan is finished marinading, preheat the oven to 400F and place the top rack 6 inches from the heating coil.
On each stick, skewer 3-4 pieces of seitan. Place the kebabs on a baking sheet.
Roast the seitan for five minutes, then remove the pan from the oven and turn the sticks. Roast for another five minutes and turn again. My seitan was cooked through after 15 minutes, but yours may cook faster or slower, depending on your oven and the size of your pieces. Eat the seitan while it's hot.
Serves 6.

Paris a la Carte: Hop-On Hop-Off Tour & Seine River Cruise

ParisSee all 715 tickets & tours
Want to discover all there is to do in Paris Observatory? Click here for a full list.
Convenient and easy to use. Better labelling of the batobus would be a bit better.
Good for seeing all the sights in a short space of time. I would recommend taking the two day pass(not available when we went, not sure why as the buses were not that busy). It will take you most of the day to cover all of the routes just sitting on the buses. Make sure you print your ticket before you go as the drivers will not accept a ticket on your mobile.
It makes skimming and scanning numerous Paris highlights possible. For a big city as Paris is, with so many sites to see, I recommend it to all first timers to this city.
A friend suggested I book this tour on my first day in Paris. And he was right! The Hop On Hop Off 1-day tour was a prefect way for us to orient ourselves and decide which sites we wanted to go back and see. It's great that there are 4 different bus lines to help explore different parts of the city. You can use the bus like an above ground metro, though there are some stops where the bus sits idling for like 20 minutes, which can be frustrating.
This is a great way to see all the major sights. The price is reasonable, the staff at major pickup points were friendly and helpful. The big yellow buses are easy to spot even in chaotic Paris traffic. The bus tour was flexible so we were able to get off and on, and move easily from our hotel, near Eiffel, all around town.

The Critical Thinker
My name is Kristan T. Harris. I have run for political office and have worked a political grass roots campaign for Ron Paul. I was nominated and elected to the GOP platform committee in 2012. I am a huge advocate for liberty and freedom.I am a libertarian at heart. I am also a news junkie and love a good mystery.
Police Raid Woman's Home For Purchasing Organic Fertilizer
Kristan T. Harris | The Rundown Live
DEA agents stormed the home of Shorewood artist Angela Kirking at 5am on October 11th after an agent spotted her shopping at Midwest Hydroganics, an indoor garden center they had been staking out.
The Shorewood Patch reports: During the agent's stakeout, the agent noticed Kirking "exit the front door of the store carrying a green plastic bag containing unknown items."
The agent followed Kirking from Midwest Hydroganics back to her home in Shorewood, Illinois. The agent later acquired her electric bills from February 2013 through September. The agent then compared Kirking's bill to two of her neighbors, and noticed her bills were "consistently higher," according to the complaint for the search warrant.
An "investigative garbage pull" was performed at Kirking's residence three weeks later, at 4:15am, the complaint said. After scavenging through her trash, the agents allegedly reported finding "multiple green plant stems" that smelled strongly of "green cannabis."
Three days later agents and police pulled Kirking's husband over while leaving for work at 4:50 a.m., according to the police report. The husband was then presented with the search warrant and was asked to unlock this front door and give them access to the home.
Even though Kirking's husband cooperated agents entered the home with guns drawn according to his wife.
"They had a gun pointed at me when they said, 'Are there any illegal substances in your house?'" she recalled.
It turns out Kirking's green plastic bag contained only organic fertilizer she bought for her hybrid hibiscus. She explained that she needs to use organic fertilizer because she eats the plant and does not want to be poisoned.
After a month-long investigation, countless tax dollars spent and an intense raid on Kirking' s home only enough evidence was supplied to support a case for a misdemeanor according to Illinois law, by local authorities. Local authoritied only seized 9.3 grams of cannabis and several glass pipes that surfaced in Kirking's "art room."
Kirking's attorney, Jeff Tomczak, is battling to have the case thrown out. Tomczak stated:
"The lady comes under investigation simply because she shopped at a particular store," Tomczak said during a Friday hearing in front of Will County Judge Bennett Braun.
Judge Braun stated he will decide on whether to throw the search warrant, and effectively kill the case, later this month.
Would not every bag that walks out of any store contain unknown items? Is this a good use of taxpayer money?

Binstock and Reader lose to Norwegians at OlympicsLONDON (July 30, 2012) - Josh Binstock of Richmond Hill, Ont., and Martin Reader of Comox, B.C., lost 21-14, 21-18 to Martin Spinnangr and Tarjei Viken Skarlund of Norway in men's beach volleyball action Monday at the Olympic Games.
Both pairs are now tied for second place in the pool F standings with one win and one loss apiece. The other pool match between Pedro Cunha and Ricardo Santos of Brazil and British pair John Garcia-Thompson and Steven Grotowski was held later Monday.
"We didn't play the way we wanted to and found it difficult to play the ball," Binstock told the media after the match. "We get in trouble when we don't take care of the ball on our side."
The Canadians defeated Garcia-Thompson and Grotowski 21-19, 21-13 to open the Games tournament Saturday.
Canada faces the Brazilians in its last preliminary round match on Wednesday at 8 p.m. London time or 3 p.m. EDT in Canada.

Team Honda Muscle Milk's Trey Canard was involved in a crash during practice over the Thanksgiving weekend while preparing for the 2014 Supercross season, sustaining a broken arm. Canard underwent successful surgery on Tuesday December 3, and will begin rehabilitation in preparation for the 2014 Supercross season. Canard had a successful 2013 season, highlighted by his sixth-place overall finish in the Supercross series and fourth overall in the Motocross standings.
"Of course we are disappointed that Trey will miss the opening rounds of the 2014 SX season," said Director of Racing, Ray Conway. "He has been going really fast at all our pre-season test sessions. We all know how hard Trey will work to get back as soon as he can, and the whole team can't wait for his return."

Keratin Complex
Keratin Complex Infusion
- Overview
- Ingredients
- Features
- Opens the hair cuticle to effectively deliver nourishing keratin proteins
- Repairs and revitalizes hair
- Seals in nutrients and moisture during heat styling
- Leaves hair noticeably smoother
- Eliminates frizz
- Softens
- Adds shine
- Formaldehyde free
- About the brand
The Coppola Keratin Complex Infusion in a leave-in styling treatment that
provides intense penetration to heal and smooth hair. The infusion opens the
hair cuticles to deliver keratin proteins into the hair shaft. Hair drying,
straightening or other heat styling seals the cuticle closed on top of the
infusion, creating stronger, smoother, more resilient hair. You'll see the shine
and feel the repair.
The result is noticeably healthier, softer, stronger hair.
What's the buzz about keratin? Keratin protein occurs naturally in hair. Keratin treatments are an exceptional process that effectively straightens even the coarsest, curliest hair. Products that contain keratin give many of the same effects of a treatment, to a lesser degree (shine, straightness, smoothness and reduced frizz).
Aqua distllia, cationic guar gum, cetereal alcohol, cyclodimethicone, dimethicone, dow corning, 2078 fluid, keratin protein complex extract, glycerine, glyceryl monococoate, soy protein oil, wheat protein, aminopropyl phenyl trimethicone, amica extract, scent.
Apply to clean, towel dried hair. Put a small amount in your palms and pull
gently through your hair. To guarantee an even distribution, we recommend using
a comb. Wait 20 minutes before drying, flat ironing or curling.
After applying the treatment, pile your hair up on your head and then wrap in a towel or shower cap. This will keep hair warm, which will help the infusion absorb. For an even deeper treatment, use a hair dryer (at a safe distance!) to heat your hair through the towel or shower cap.
Keratin Complex continues to develop breakthroughs in keratin treatment technology. Keratin Complex products, from shampoos & conditioners to serums & oils, are designed to achieve healthier looking hair by replenishing moisture, reducing frizz - leaving your locks smooth and strong.

Amazing...this Product Actually Does What It Claims!!I'm always up for trying the latest product hoping to improve my over-processed baby fine hair and usually end up returning 99% of the things I try because they just don't work. Between going through early menopause and hormonal uproar, frequent highlighting (with breakage and frizz) and going too long between trims I have been so tempted to chop off my mid-back length hair and start all over again. Not now! After the first use I feel like I have a new head of hair. Shiny and smoothâ?¦love it! The smell is very pleasant as well...anxious to try the InfuionTherapy shampoo and conditioner next.Mar 17, 2011DebiHAIR TYPELight Brown / Dry Hair / Color Treated Hair / Fine or Thin Hair

Excellent! Not Just For Hair With Keratin Treatment!My hairstylist has been trying to talk me into the Keratin treatment, but it's expensive, and I don't mind my curls. I also blow out my hair, but not that often. She suggested this product to cut frizz when leaving my hair curly. I added it to the regimen of my normal styling products, (curl cream+gel) and the frizz is greatly reduced, if not gone, and the curls take great shape! Love this product! Worth the money and I can't wait to try with my next blow out!Mar 9, 2011Stephanie D. / NJHAIR TYPECurly Hair / Color Treated Hair / Thick or Coarse Hair

First Time Use Was Enough Proof For Me!!I currently am on the last stages of a formaldehyde based keratin smoothing treatment (I am not going to get another one...even though my hair looks like silk...I know its bad for me), so I bought this in hopes of stretching out my treatment a bit longer, and folks let me tell you after applying it to towel dry hair, then drying with a 2 inch round brush with an ion dryer, then flat ironing on high heat...it is like coming out of the salon again!! I don't usually do both heat treatments every time I wash my hair....I haven't used a flat iron in months...I just used it this time to seal in the Coppola product...but I am definitely sold on this product...watch out stylists!!Mar 6, 2011Lisa V. / Rockledge, FLHAIR TYPELight Brown / Normal Hair / Dry Hair / Color Treated Hair / Fine or Thin Hair / Chemically Treated Hair

Surprisingly EffectiveOk, lets be honest- I really didn't have high hopes for this one. I'm getting the Coppola Express Keratin Treatment done in a few weeks before vacation and I bought this in hopes to lengthen the staying power of the treatment. I was also curious to see how it would work on non-keratin treated hair. I used it last night on my very thick hair which combines pretty much every curl type there is. I washed, used One-n-Only Argan Oil Treatment then combed this stuff through. It smelled nice and not over-powering. My hair didn't feel product-y AT ALL, in fact it's like my hair instantly absorbed it and I was afraid I didn't use enough but the bottle said use a SMALL amount. I blow dried. Now, usually my hair will straighten somewhat with a blow dryer, but it's puffy/frizzy straight. Last night, I actually had sections of hair that didn't NEED to be flat ironed. That is a first. Once dry, I did flat iron as it says it's the heat that makes it work. My hair usually flat irons easily- it's the fly aways and damage/dry feeling that concern me. My hair turned out extremely soft with zero product-y feel. It's been almost 24 hours and it still does not feel dry. I can't get over the softness. This stuff is expensive, but I used such a small amount, I can tell this bottle is going to last a very long time. All in all, I'm very impressed and will continue using.Mar 3, 2011VictoriaHAIR TYPEDark Brown / Dry Hair / Curly Hair / Color Treated Hair / Thick or Coarse Hair

Lov'n It:))I recently purchased this product after reading the great reviews. My hair has been looking brittle and dry on the ends so thought i would give this product a try - love it! I use it as a styling product both on wet and dry hair. It doesn't give my hair a greasy look which I have had with products in the past.

Over 40 With Fine, Straight Hair...I'm overf 40 with fine, straight hair. It has recently been extremely dry...almost strawlike. I tried this product based on some reviews and articles in More Magazine, where it is recommended for women in my age range that have thin hair and are beginnine to experience dryness that is probably age or hormone related. I've used it about 2x/wk for a few weeks now. I noticed immediate results after the first use. I highly recommend it for those mid-lifers with fine hair, who are now noticing increased dryness. Outstanding!Feb 14, 2011Alicia / San Jose, Ca.HAIR TYPEDark Brown / Dry Hair / Fine or Thin Hair

Definately Worth PurchasingI purchased the product based on the reviews and was not disappointed. A little goes a long way. I had the Brailian Keratin treatment done and was looking for a product that was sulfate free. I have medium lenght hair that is colored. I like that the product does not leave my hair weighted down and oily like other products I have tried but really helps with maintaining the Keratin treatment. My son has curly frizzy hair and he started using the product because he love the way it leaves his hair very soft and with no frizz. I now have to purchase the product for him. As to the other comments concerning the pump not working, there is a small hole on the bottom of the bottle and when you push on the hole, the pump works just fine. I used a barbie pin to push on the small hole.Feb 7, 2011Nancy / MarylandHAIR TYPEDark Brown / Curly Hair / Color Treated Hair / Thick or Coarse Hair

Amazing!this product is one of the best ones i have gotten! does more for my hair than any other (and i've tried many!). it definiately protects it and keeps it looking much healthier than just using the keratin shampoo and conditioner... and does the same job as my biosilk, only better and no oily x-factor! i've also tried many aftercare products for straightening and shine from keratin complex (the shine and the straightening spray) and those also left my hair looking and feeling more oily. this product is definitely recommend.Jan 6, 2011DanaHAIR TYPEMedium Brown / Dry Hair / Curly Hair

March 24, 2014: Clarke Assistant Professor of art history Bryan Zygmont is one of a select group of faculty members nationwide chosen by the Council of Independent Colleges to participate in a week-long seminar on Teaching Pre-Modern European Art in Context.Zygmont will take part in the seminar titled "The Uses of Antiquity" at the Smart Museum of Art in Chicago, July 13-18. This is the second time Zygmont has been selected by the CIC to participate in a special seminar. Previously, Zygmont took part in a CIC seminar on the topic of Pre-Modern European Art in Context in 2010.The seminar that Zygmont will attend is designed to assist art historians who teach outside their narrow scholastic focus to become more effective teachers within the area of Renaissance art. CIC selected 21 faculty members to participate in the seminar."The seminar I attended in 2010 focused on 13th century Italian art and fundamentally impacted the way I teach paintings of the early Renaissance," said Zygmont. "This seminar was a wonderful example of collegiality and collaboration, and was one of the most impactful professional experiences I have had as a university professor. I am positive that the 2014 edition of this series — one that focus on the classical influences on 16th century Italian art — will be as helpful and engaging, and I am excited to take what I will learn and transition it to the Clarke University classroom."For more information, contact the Clarke University Marketing and Communication Office at (563)588-6318.Clarke University is a Catholic, liberal arts and sciences university dedicated to preparing students who positively impact their workplace, family and community.

Comfortable, but irritating squeak
"I bought these shoes a few months ago, and I love them when I'm running, but when I'm walking, they make a loud and very irritating squeak with every step I take. It's gotten to where I don't want to walk to the gym in them, but changing shoes when I get there is a pain. Very frustrating."

"I figured Nike would be great shoes for running, but when I tried them out the first time I got blisters on the backs of my feet and my ankles ached. They were the right size, but for some reason the opening of the shoe is a killer. I tried adjusting the laces, but that didn't work. For the money I paid for them they shouldn't do that. I'm going to stick to New Balance shoes from now on. They're much more comfortable."

UPDATE: Scott gunning for Welker?
While a few of his teammates have found it impossible not to fan the flames of the Patriots-Jets rivalry this week, New York linebacker Bart Scott, whom Rex Ryan brought with him from the Ravens last year, has been quiet for the most part.
Until now.
Asked about Wes Welker's 10-foot-references-in-less-than-10-minutes press conference the other day, a subtle jab at Ryan's presumed participation in a foot-fetish video with his wife that's posted online, Scott took up for his coach, and may have taken it too far.
"I'll tell you what," Scott told Newsday on Friday. "Be very careful what you say about our coach. His [Welker's] days in a uniform will be numbered. Put it like that."
On Friday, Ryan, who has had plenty to say over the last week-plus, but didn't say much about Welker's foot chat.
"I think this is a huge rivalry-type game and anything goes," he said. "I can take it. I'm not going to discuss it, but I can take it."
UPDATE: A league source says that NFL VP of football operations Ray Anderson has contacted teams this week to remind players that any trash talk is to "remain outside the white lines." If any illegal physical acts take place, the source said, comments will be taken into account in evaluating disciplinary action.

Rated 5 out of 5Â by Running Eagle Irish Style I purchased this item in the (brick?) red for my wife for 2015 Christmas. Beautiful color. Exquisite fit and look.

Rated 5 out of 5Â by Sweater Women's Irish Sweater The color is a very close match to that shown online and in the catalog. The quality is excellent and the fit just right (i.e., sizing is accurate). I receive compliments each time I wear it--from friends and strangers alike. My only complaint is that the inner button pulls on the fabric and causes a slight tuck on the front that is not covered by the asymmetrical collar. I can't make it lie flat. I'm not sure if others notice this.... December 16, 2013

Police Union Punishes DA's Office for Not Illegally Charging Woman Who Recorded CopsThursday, October 20th, 2011
You may remember Emily Good, the Rochester woman arrested earlier this year for videotaping a traffic stop from her front yard.
When last we visited the story, Good's neighbors had held a rally for her. Then Rochester police showed up at that rally, and began writing tickets for those attendees who parked more than 12 inches from the curb. The cops even brought rulers.
Monroe County District Attorney Michael Green declined to charge Good, because, well, because she didn't break any law. This has apparently invoked the wrath of the police union. Green isn't running for reelection, but one of his lieutenants running for the job. The police union has endorsed her opponent, and the Good case appears to be a big reason why.
Doorley said she thinks her prosecution of corruption within the Greece Police Department and the decision not to prosecute Emily Good, who was arrested while video recording a police traffic stop, thwarted her chances for law enforcement support.
She said during her endorsement interview that she was questioned at length about the DA's decision that Good had not committed a crime.
Good was charged with interfering with a police stop — the arresting officer contended she was endangering police — but the District Attorney's Office decided the charge should be dismissed.
Doorley, who was then first assistant district attorney, appeared in court to request dismissal of the charge. Prosecutors determined that, under the statute, Good had not committed a crime.
A number of prosecutors scrutinized past cases involving the same criminal statute and determined the criminal charge was "not sustainable," Doorley said.
Imagine the union's reaction if the DA's office had done what it should have done—criminally charge the cops who arrested Good for illegally detaining her.

By JEFF RIFLEMANOgden
Father's Day is fast approaching, but many children will not be allowed to see their non-custodial fathers on this holiday as a result of alienating mothers. Utah law provides non-custodial fathers time with their children on this day and further provides penalties for any intentional act of custodial interference.
Unfortunately, these laws are rarely enforced, overly ignored, and often abused by a malicious and alienating parent in most instances. Law enforcement agencies are not trained on how to determine violation of these laws, and rather than determine any violation, refer custodial disputes back to family courts. Family court judges rarely award any makeup time to the victimized parent and child, opting instead to threaten innocuous contempt orders that do nothing but encourage the malicious parent to further alienate the child.
Many Utahns will silently watch this Father's Day as their brother, uncle, father, or son goes through this holiday without access to their child, and without any effective recourse to stop the continued denial, and interference of parent time by the child's mother. Show support for non-custodial fathers and their children; encourage equal parenting, enforcement of parent time, and prosecution of custodial interference.

I didn't mean that it was their physical bodies. I just meant that you saw bodies contained within him in his realm. Yes, I'm sure those were their souls and not flesh and bone. I still believe he would retain any blood line limits which he received when taking over a host. The argument that you hadn't seen any evidence of blood line limits with him is mute. There is no indication that any of the previous hosts had a blood line limit. In fact he was currently using a host, and if he had a blood line limit he would have had access to that one regardless, yet we didn't see him using one.
Oro contained the souls of his previous hosts within himself. This alone tells me that he retained there bloodlines limits. When using Edo Tensei the user does not have access to the summons original body. They bind their souls within a dead body. However, the summons retain their blood line limits (sharingan, rinnegan, etc.). This tells me that these jutsu are bound to the souls and not the physical body. From this info alone I gather that since Oro retains the hosts souls, he would retain the blood line limits.

This marking exercise helps identify opportunities for 2013. If you didn't assign all As, why not?
If you were to assign a grade to your dealership's performance this year, what would it be? If I were to ask you to grade your individual operating departments' performances, what would they be?
If you didn't assign all As to the dealership and individual departments, why not?
Going through this marking exercise helps identify opportunities for 2013.
I recently was speaking with a former dealer who asked about the primary challenges dealers face today. I didn't take long to answer.
In almost every meeting I attend, dealers are talking about low new-vehicle grosses. This pressure on profits likely will continue, considering the amount of information available to consumers on the Internet and dealers in the market trying to offer the lowest prices online.
The only area where dealers seem to make respectable grosses today is in finance and insurance and selling accessories.
Used-vehicle inventory shortage pressures should begin to ease as new-vehicle sales increase, which will generate more trades.
Vehicle retail grosses are under pricing pressure because of the amount of pricing and inventory information on the Internet. As we all know, our best used vehicles and highest grosses come from vehicle trades.
The area where I have the most concern is in the amount of service work and the parts sales that accompany labor charges. Mileage intervals for general maintenance have increased, decreasing customer visits.
Warranty repairs have decrease for all dealers unless there happens to be a manufacturer recall. Traditional service traffic is down. Many dealers have added quick oil-change and express-service facilities next to their dealerships. This increases our service traffic and repair orders, but has it helped increase total gross? Hopefully this is an area you are monitoring taking appropriate actions when necessary.
So, what do all of the items have in common? The answer is pretty easy if you think about it.
No, I don't have an answer about Internet pricing and thoughts about how to prevent competitors from advertising prices under invoice in order to sell cars. I certainly don't have an answer as it relates to the "big picture" used-vehicle market. And I can't control the fewer service-department visits. But I do have a few thoughts.
Our highest total grosses from new-vehicle retail sales come from repeat customers. These customers also have the most desirable and valuable trades.
In the past, it was easier to maintain a relationship with these customers due to the frequency of their service visits, which typically created a relationship between them and service advisers. This has often been our lifeblood. The challenge now is to come up with a process that allows the personal relation between the customer and your dealership to flourish. This is critical.
In recent years, it's been rumored that auto makers would stop grading dealers on customer satisfaction, and instead measure customer retention. Customer-satisfaction index scoring has been a longstanding point of contention.
Good CSI is something that has been a must with every dealer I've ever met. The unfortunate challenge with this measurement has been in getting our happy customers to return surveys and then having the scoring verify our commitments to the customer. It is survey management.
Customer retention and close customer-dealer relationships are nothing new. They are areas dealers always have worked on. Regardless of the auto maker's program, return business will continue to be critical to our growth of both sales and gross.
In closing, I want to thank you for your continued support and wish each of you a safe, happy and successful holiday season.
Good selling!

Above:The artist's view of the new FOSS stairs, landings and canopy.Below: The current FOSS ramp and landings More photos
Shoreline Community College campus is acclaimed as the most beautiful in the state system with wonderful landscaping, walkways and architecture.
For better or worse, along with those iconic campus images is the ramp to FOSS' third floor. Starting June 18, 2012, that's going to change; the ramp is coming down.
"The ramp was built in 1972 and it just doesn't meet current (American Disabilities Act) slope or seismic standards," said Director of Facilities/Capital Projects Bob Roehl. A recent facilities assessment also noted the ramp has less than 10 years of useful life remaining, he added.
The ramp, along with both the second- and third-floor landings, will be torn down this summer. In their place will be new stairs, new landings a new canopy above the third-level landing, but no ramp. The major impact is main entrances to the second and third levels won't be possible during construction. Temporary signage will be posted across campus and in key locations.
The project is scheduled to be finished by Sept. 7, well-before the start of fall quarter. However, that means a summer's worth of temporary access to FOSS and the likelihood of temporarily relocated services. Roehl said access will be via the relatively new outside staircase on the north side of the building along with original the eastside stairs.
That will be fine for most, but doesn't address access for the disabled. Roehl said the newly upgraded elevator will be in the center of the construction zone, not to mention that until the new landings are built, it wouldn't connect to anything.
One likely solution could be that some student services could be relocated to the PUB, much the way they were during recent FOSS renovations. If not a complete move, than at least a student services area to interact with students and then a connection back to FOSS. Roehl said meetings are ongoing on how best to serve students during the demolition and construction period.
Once the project is finished, disabled access to the second and third floors will be by elevator.
The ramp isn't the only things that will be missing, Roehl said. "This should also take care of those water leaks on the landings that drip down from above," he said.

Bills Draft Outlook: Cornerback
by Joe Buscaglia
posted Apr 22 2014 7:04PM
With the help of the pressure brought on by the front seven of the defense, and with a couple of roster improvements, the Buffalo Bills cornerbacks had a better year than they did in 2012. The position struggled mightily in the early going of 2013, but once usual starters began to return from injury, the corners settled in a bit more.
Even still, the Bills are bringing in a number of top cornerback prospects to meet with coaches and see the ground in Orchard Park for pre-draft visits. It's interesting considering their current roster makeup and for the fact that cornerback is one of the forgotten positions when it comes to the draft.
Could it be that where there is smoke, there is fire as well? Might the Bills actually draft a cornerback earlier than anyone is thinking at this point? Let's examine:
What they have
: Stephon Gilmore, Leodis McKelvin, Nickell Robey (nickel)
: Corey Graham, Brandon Smith, Ron Brooks, Mario Butler
What they need
- Regardless of when it comes to fruition, the Bills will eventually need to find a longterm starter to pair with Stephon Gilmore to finally put the cornerback need to rest. Entering his third season, the Bills are hoping Gilmore can put his injury behind him and continue down the same path he was on during training camp of developing into a shutdown corner.
They'll need him to regain that form, because the defense under coordinator Jim Schwartz will likely have a much different feel to it. While Mike Pettine specialized in bringing blitzes from all different places and sending more than four rushers on occasion, Schwartz shifts the philosophy back to having a dominant front-four and, in turn, putting more pressure on the cornerbacks on the field.
The big question is not about Gilmore — at least not at this point. One would have to believe that the concern is how Leodis McKelvin, who is heading into his seventh year, will do with more time in coverage. There isn't any doubt that his season in 2013 was the best he's had since his rookie year. If you study the tape, however, it's fair to ask if it was merely a byproduct of Pettine's pressure-packed defense.
Here's another caveat to consider: McKelvin's cap number takes a 50-percent jump up from the 2013 season to 2014. And if you go based on his 2013 number, his 2015 cap hit goes up nearly 61-percent. While there is no immediate danger to McKelvin, who turns 29 in September, it would be shortsighted to not at least wonder if the Bills are trying to find that longterm replacement.
Considering his age, his past struggles, a lack of playmaking ability (interceptions) and with more dynamic return specialists on the roster currently, it's fair to consider if the former first-round pick could be in trouble after 2014. After all, McKelvin is owed a $750,000 roster bonus ahead of the 2015 season, and the normal rule of thumb for cornerbacks is to gently bring them up to the starting lineup after learning the NFL game.
Some will ask about free agent acquisition Corey Graham, but it seems he's more of a situational player that will be used at both cornerback and safety depending on how the offense lines up. Graham will likely be a jack-of-all-trades type based on his skill set.
Nickell Robey is a solid nickel corner and will continue in that role, so there isn't any reason to move on from the former undrafted free agent. Past those four, though, the Bills lack depth. Former fourth-round pick Ron Brooks has been a humongous disappointment in the rare times that he's been healthy and could be entering a "prove it" training camp in 2014. Brandon Smith is an intriguing developmental player, but is far from being ready to contribute.
If the right player is available and depending about how they feel about McKelvin, cornerback could be the sneakiest "need" position for the Bills in 2014.
How will they do it?
- If the Bills stand pat at ninth overall, it would be a bit of a stretch to consider one of the top cornerbacks being in consideration for that pick. Based on the talent level of this draft that will likely push the top cornerbacks down the draft order, the Bills could be in prime territory at 41st overall to land a cornerback that could have been selected in the first round during weaker draft years. They've been bringing in numerous fringe-first round cornerback types, and some that could even be available in the third round. It would not be surprising at all if the Bills used a Day Two selection on the position, considering the type of pressure that will be put on them this coming season.

Rated 2 out of 5 by Dewfactor from Good quality, impossible to put on Although we've tried to love these socks for years, even now, my almost 7-y.o. cannot get them on by himself, and it's even a struggle for me to put them on him! The ribbing of the ankle part (that you'd fold over) is so tightly knit that it takes adult hands to stretch them sufficiently to put them on a kid's foot. Once they're on, they are comfortable, says the boy, and they keep his feet pretty cool and mostly dry, which is why they get two stars rather than zero.

These can also make a great gift for car, motorcycle, boating, or outdoor enthusiasts as you can give them pictures of their mean machine or best catch that will stand up to the rigors of a garage or tool shed. These metal prints will not fade in direct sunlight over long periods of time. Photo prints won't exactly match the original photo colors due to the color of the aluminum.
