The owner of a South Jeffco medical-marijuana dispensary is appealing a county-issued zoning violation that would force the business to close its doors if upheld.
Marc Giuliani, owner of Footprints Health & Wellness, is scheduled to appear before the county board of adjustment March 17 at 10:30 a.m.
Jefferson County residents will gather March 16 for precinct caucuses, gatherings that provide party members a voice before the election and offer an early taste of the upcoming primaries.
Voters will gather at party-specific locations in their respective precincts and nominate delegates to different assemblies.
At 37 and 43, Frank Harney and Sean Fey are not exactly senior citizens. But the pair of dedicated extreme-sports enthusiasts decided they were too old for their favorite pastime of racing sport motorcycles at breakneck speeds. So they traded their crotch rockets for two-wheelers powered by their own legs, and their newfound passion led them to open South Jeffco's newest bike shop.
Adrenalin Cycles, a small boutique catering to the needs of discerning, spandex-clad riders and elite triathletes, opened its doors Feb.
Fourteen-year-old Matt Thieu, the Deer Creek Middle School student critically injured in last week's shootings, is recovering at home and showing remarkably good spirits. Thieu was discharged from The Children's Hospital in Aurora late in the day on March 1.
"It's getting tiring in here," Thieu said Friday from his room at the hospital in an exclusive interview with the Courier.
Another wild weekend at Mr. Biggs has resulted in a temporary halt to the entertainment facility's liquor sales. Meanwhile, the future of the business remains murky in the wake of a liquor-licensing board hearing that left nearly everyone involved scratching their heads.
A Feb. 27 incident at the business prompted another appearance of owner Art Cormier before the county liquor-licensing board.
Jefferson County is spending $500,000 to beef up security at the Taj Mahal in response to increased court traffic and in anticipation of three additional judges who are scheduled to arrive next year.
New magnetometers, or walk-through metal detectors, X-ray belts and a shuffling of desks and other structures in the building's atrium are among the security revamp.
The Deer Creek Middle School math teacher hailed as a hero for his quick action during last week's shootings has returned in part to his normal routine, which includes refining his Smurf and kangaroo karate forms with his kids at a South Jeffco dojo.
David Benke was honored Feb. 27 at Exclusive Martial Arts, a family-oriented karate studio at which he, his son and daughter have been taking regular lessons since late last year.
Bruco Strong Eagle Eastwood is facing a variety of charges, including four counts of attempted murder, in the shootings at Deer Creek Middle School on Feb. 23.
Eastwood, 32, a former student at the school, was advised of the charges against him in Jefferson County Court on March 2.
The upcoming primary election in August will be conducted exclusively through mail-in ballots in Jefferson County. The board of county commissioners voted unanimously at a public hearing Feb. 23 in favor of the measure.
The vast majority of public comment taken between Jan. 29 and Feb. 12 supported the use of mail-in ballots, the county stated, and 94 percent of votes in the 2008 primary election were cast through the mail in Jefferson County.
Though 3 miles and 11 years separate the shootings at Deer Creek Middle School from the infamous attack at Columbine High, old wounds were opened again this week.
"I was shocked to see that (a shooting) would happen again, especially in Littleton, because it seems like a nice, quiet little town," Columbine High senior Kelci Brady said Wednesday, a day after a gunman shot two students at Deer Creek. "You never know when something is going to happen or who is going to do it — it's not like you can keep it from happening."

Breaking Records … and a Few Bottles
"My hands were slippery during the actual competition, so I kept dropping bottles," laughs The Shout House bartender Chris Raph. "Other than that, I think it went really well."
With the spotlights from four local television crews trained on him and more than 300 guests watching, Raph set out to break the record for "most cocktails prepared in 60 minutes" for Guinness World Records on April 16. The Shout House has been open in Minneapolis for nearly five years now, and the venue is known for its dueling pianists belting out tunes nightly. Now, it's famous for world-record-holder Raph as well, who made 662 different cocktails in under an hour, nearly doubling the previous record.
"I got interested in the challenge of it after reading an article in Nightclub & Bar about Bobby Gleason holding the record with 253 cocktails [the record was then reset by Matthias Knorr in Munich, Germany, at 389]. I knew I could beat that, so I trained for about six months."
Raph had to make, from memory, more than 390 different cocktails. The rules stated that the cocktails would be considered "different" as long as one ingredient was changed.
Management teamed up with Diageo, which donated the spirits, and Sysco, which donated the alcohol-free product. Guests paid $4 at the door, with all of the money benefiting the Finnegan's Community Fund, which helps the area's homeless. Cocktail #390 and cocktail #662 were auctioned off, increasing the total amount raised that night to more than $1,500. Since that evening, Raph has been the subject of several radio shows, television appearances and magazine profiles, all bringing business back to the bar.

"I have the Original EZ Skeletoes, They werent too comfortable in between the toes. However, I liked the concept (and the stares on the train :) ). I gave the new design a tryout in the DSW store and found out that the discomfort around the toes had been taken care of. Also, they are much warmer than the original design. All in all, a good buy."

Live Upgrade, /var/tmp and the Ever Growing Boot Environments
By User12611829-Oracle on Jan 13, 2012
And then stopped. This is why. What follows has been added to the list of Common Live Upgrade Problems, as Number 3.
Let's start with a clean installation of Solaris 10 10/09 (u8).
# df -k / Filesystem kbytes used avail capacity Mounted on rpool/ROOT/s10x_u8wos_08a 20514816 4277560 13089687 25% /So far, so good. Solaris is just a bit over 4GB. Another 3GB is used by the swap and dump devices. That should leave plenty of room for half a dozen or so patch cycles (assuming 1GB each) and an upgrade to the next release.
Now, let's put on the latest recommended patch cluster. Note that I am following the suggestions in my Live Upgrade Survival Guide, installing the prerequisite patches and the LU patch before actually installing the patch cluster.
# cd /var/tmp # wget patchserver:/export/patches/10_x86_Recommended-2012-01-05.zip . # unzip -qq 10_x86_Recommended-2012-01-05.zip # wget patchserver:/export/patches/121431-69.zip # unzip 121431-69 # cd 10x_Recommended # ./installcluster --apply-prereq --passcode (you can find this in README) # patchadd -M /var/tmp 121431-69 # lucreate -n s10u8-2012-01-05 # ./installcluster -d -B s10u8-2012-01-05 --passcode # luactivate s10u8-2012-01-05 # init 0After the new boot environment is activated, let's upgrade to the latest release of Solaris 10. In this case, it will be Solaris 10 8/11 (u10).
Yes, this does seem like an awful lot is happening in a short period of time. I'm trying to demonstrate a situation that really does happen when you forget something as simple as a patch cluster clogging up /var/tmp. Think of this as one of those time lapse video sequences you might see in a nature documentary.
# pkgrm SUNWluu SUNWlur SUNWlucfg # pkgadd -d /cdrom/sol_10_811_x86 SUNWluu SUNWlur SUNWlucfg # patchadd -M /var/tmp 121431-69 # lucreate -n s10u10-baseline' # echo "autoreg=disable" > /var/tmp/no-autoreg # luupgrade -u -s /cdrom/sol_10_811_x86 -k /var/tmp/no-autoreg -n s10u10-baseline # luactivate s10u10-baseline # init 0As before, everything went exactly as expected. Or I thought so, until I logged in the first time and checked the free space in the root pool.
# df -k / Filesystem kbytes used avail capacity Mounted on rpool/ROOT/s10u10-baseline 20514816 10795038 2432308 82% /Where did all of the space go ? Back of the napkin calculations of 4.5GB (s10u8) + 4.5GB (s10u10) + 1GB (patch set) + 3GB (swap and dump) = 13GB. 20GB pool - 13GB used = 7GB free. But there's only 2.4GB free ?
This is about the time that I smack myself on the forehead and realize that I put the patch cluster in the /var/tmp. Old habits die hard. This is not a problem, I can just delete it, right ?
Not so fast.
# du -sh /var/tmp 5.4G /var/tmp # du -sh /var/tmp/10* 3.8G /var/tmp/10_x86_Recommended 1.5G /var/tmp/10_x86_Recommended-2012-01-05.zip # rm -rf /var/tmp/10* # du -sh /var/tmp 3.4M /var/tmpImagine the look on my face when I check the pool free space, expecting to see 7GB.
# df -k / Filesystem kbytes used avail capacity Mounted on rpool/ROOT/s10u10-baseline 20514816 5074262 2424603 68% /We are getting closer. At least my root filesystem size is reasonable (5GB vs 11GB). But the free space hasn't changed at all.
Once again, I smack myself on the forehead. The patch cluster is also in the other two boot environments. All I have to do is get rid them too, and I'll get my free space back.
# lumount s10u8-2012-01-05 /mnt # rm -rf /mnt/var/tmp/10_x86_Recommended* # luumount s10u8-2012-01-05 # lumount s10x_u8wos_08a /mnt # rm -rf /mnt/var/tmp/10_x86_Recommended* # luumount s10x_u8wos_08aSurely, that will get my free space reclaimed, right ?
# df -k / Filesystem kbytes used avail capacity Mounted on rpool/ROOT/s10u10-baseline 20514816 5074265 2429261 68% /This is when I smack myself on the forehead for the third time in one afternoon. Just getting rid of them in the boot environments is not sufficient. It would be if I were using UFS as a root filesystem, but lucreate will use the ZFS snapshot and cloning features when used on a ZFS root. So the patch cluster is in the snapshot, and the oldest one at that.
Let's try this all over again, but this time I will put the patches somewhere else that is not part of a boot environment. If you are thinking of using root's home directory, think again - it is part of the boot environment. If you are running out of ideas, let me suggest that /export/patches might be a good place to put them.
Doing the exercise again, with the patches in /export/patches, I get similar results (to be expected), but with one significant different.This time the patches are in a shared ZFS dataset (/export) and can be deleted.
# lustatus Boot Environment Is Active Active Can Copy Name Complete Now On Reboot Delete Status -------------------------- -------- ------ --------- ------ ---------- s10x_u8wos_08a yes no no yes - s10u8-2012-01-05 yes no no yes - s10u10-baseline yes yes yes no - # df -k / Filesystem kbytes used avail capacity Mounted on rpool/ROOT/s10u10-baseline 20514816 5184578 2445140 68% / # df -k /export Filesystem kbytes used avail capacity Mounted on rpool/export 20514816 5606384 2445142 70% /exportThis time, when I delete them, the disk space will be reclaimed.
# rm -rf /export/patches/10_x86_Recommended* # df -k / Filesystem kbytes used avail capacity Mounted on rpool/ROOT/s10u10-baseline 20514816 5184578 8048050 40% /Now, that's more like it. With this free space, I can continue to patch and maintain my system as I had originally planned - estimating a few hundred MB to 1.5GB per patch set.
The moral to the story is that even if you follow all of the best practices and recommendations, you can still be tripped up by old habits when you don't consider their consequences. And when you do, don't feel bad. Many best practices come from exercises just like this one.

In his first three at-bats Wednesday afternoon, the Yankees' No. 3 prospect turned five pitches into a home run, a double and a career-best six RBIs as his Class A Charleston RiverDogs ran away from the visiting Savannah Sand Gnats, 14-5.
Sanchez was 0-for-his-last-11 at the plate when he pulled the first pitch he saw from starter Alex Panteliodis over the left-field fence, plating two teammates in the RiverDogs' four-run third inning.
Facing reliever Carlos Vazquez in the fourth, Sanchez again saw just one pitch and, this time, brought in three runners with a double toward left field.
"Over the last couple of days, I have been struggling," Sanchez said through a translator. "They tried to sneak a couple of first-pitch fastballs by me, and I was ready."
Slotted at designated hitter, the right-handed-hitting catcher also flew out in the first and grounded out on in the sixth on a combined five pitches. Sanchez then lost an eight-pitch battle by striking out in the eighth to complete his 2-for-5 day.
Sanchez said he's not necessarily aggressive or even impatient -- he's drawn nine walks in 30 games -- but that opposing pitching determines his approach in the batter's box.
The 19-year-old native of the Dominican Republic -- he received a $3 million bonus upon signing in July 2009 -- tripled his previous single-game season high in RBIs and narrowly broke his old career high: Sanchez homered, doubled and drove in five runs as a member of the Gulf Coast League Yankees on July 9, 2010.
Sanchez spent 2011 in Charleston, where he batted .256 with 17 home runs in 82 games. In the same spot in 2012, his batting average (.333) has risen while his power has diminished; his third-inning homer was his second through 30 games.
He said his experience last year -- playing night games for the first time, for example -- has helped him feel more comfortable with the club this year. A more closed batting stance, which he incorporated before batting .433 in nine games last August, has also helped him increase his contact rate.
Going deep has not been an issue for the Yanks' No. 15 prospect, outfielder Tyler Austin, who batted a slot ahead of Sanchez in the cleanup spot. He belted his 12th homer, a two-run shot in the first inning.
"We make a good combo," Sanchez said. "I feel like if he's in front of me, he drives all the runs in, but if he doesn't, I am ready to."
Austin has at least four more longballs than any other South Atlantic League slugger.
All nine RiverDogs scored at least one run, and six recorded multi-hit games. Top prospects Dante Bichette (2-for-3, three runs and two RBIs) and Mason Williams (3-for-4, one run and two RBIs) helped lead the way.
Panteliodis (3-2) allowed eight runs on seven hits. He exited with one down in the fourth.
Counterpart Caleb Cotham (3-1) gave up two runs on three hits over six frames. He threw 51 of his 65 pitches in the zone.
"He's a guy that has three good pitches -- fastball, slider and changeup -- and he can throw them all for strikes," Sanchez said from his vantage point in the dugout. "It's a joy to catch him."

Cringe-worthy. Why this is listed on a comedy website, I don't know. This guy has typically bad cheesy lines, that he delivers badly, and his tricks are mostly just dull.

|Office of Community
Oriented Policing Services
U.S. Department of Justice
Immediate Release
September 18, 2003
17 states to receive funding to purchase over 700 video cameras
Washington, DC. - Attorney General John Ashcroft and the U.S. Department of Justice Office of Community Oriented Policing Services (COPS) today announced $3.1 million in grants to fund the purchase of more than 700 in-car video cameras. These grants will go to 17 state law enforcement agencies to help promote officer safety and integrity.
Grants were awarded to state law enforcement agencies in Alabama, California, Connecticut, Delaware, Florida, Georgia, Kentucky, Maryland, Michigan, Minnesota, New Hampshire, New Jersey, New York, Ohio, Virginia, Vermont, and Washington.
"These cameras can benefit and protect both officers and citizens," said COPS Director Carl R. Peed. "In-car cameras help ensure the ethical and fair application of the law during traffic stops and they deter assaults on officers. They can also serve as a training tool and evidence during trials."
This is just one of the many programs administered by COPS to help local law enforcement agencies better serve their communities. Including grants awarded today, COPS has provided more than $21 million to fund the purchase of 5048 in-car video cameras nationwide.
COPS provides law enforcement agencies with an array of community policing training and technical assistance resources intended to increase their capacity to fight crime. COPS also funds the hiring of community policing officers. Since 1995, COPS has provided more than 6.9 billion to nearly 13,000 state and local law enforcement agencies to hire over 118,000 officers, deputies, and troopers.

Skip to comments.Top US General Blasts Ex-Officers for Attacking Obama
Posted on 08/21/2012 4:32:35 PM PDT by kristinn
ABOARD A US MILITARY AIRCRAFT US military chief General Martin Dempsey denounced ex-officers Tuesday for waging a campaign against President Barack Obama, arguing that soldiers had a duty to stay above the political fray.
Wading into a potential minefield during a hotly contested White House race, Dempsey voiced his disapproval of a group of retired military members and CIA officers who have accused Obama of spilling sensitive national security details to help secure his re-election.
Asked if the group's criticism was valid or useful, Dempsey, chairman of the US Joint Chiefs of Staff, said he would not comment on the substance of their allegations.
But he added: "As to the latter, is it useful? No, it's not useful. It's not useful to me."
(Excerpt) Read more at google.com ...
The officers he attacks are now civilians with full First Amendment rights. Did SecDef Panetta 'suggest' Gen. Dempsey go nuclear on these vets?
You bet he did.Demsey the liberal pawn.
Colin Powell has stayed out of politics, right?/s
Someone did.
General Officers are political animals. This guy is following orders.
Three words:
Screw you Martin.
What a putz.
This group of patriots is 100% correct.
Tell that to this guy:
Cry me a large, gushing river, you obama boot-licker.
I have a visceral reaction to this general's statement, and have been searching for a polite way to express it. I can't.
So F' you general!
Dishonorable Disclosures (22:00 Youtube video)
Special Operations (OPSEC) (website to get involved)
Have those veterans with a voice raised any select fingers toward this general in an appropriate salute of respect as of yet?
"soldiers had a duty to stay above the political fray"
Seems Gen. Dwight D. Eisenhower disagrees with your understanding of the First Amendment, sir!
Not when they're out of the service. This guy is an Obama tool. Lobbying for a second term?
In other words: sit down, shut up, and eat your peas since you have no free speech rights as American citizen ex-GIs. Wh does general a44wipe think he's kidding?
Another Perfumed Prince, like Wesley Clark.
Good order and discipline should require active duty officers to keep their opinions to themselves. But once they are out of uniform then the restriction is off and they should be free to express their opinion, same as every other American.
So General, why are you getting into the political fray?
I Guess he expects all former military people to just roll over and play dead for his god Obama.
Well as far as that go's,I stay with the Constitution over Obama any day.General Dempsey,We know where his loyalties lie.
Unacceptable. Retired military and CIA have the right to free speech.
The top comrade is following orders. The civilians should call him a communist running dog.
And Kennedy, and Carter, and Bush 41, and McCain, and Kerry....
Get it?
Hey General,
I've fully and wholly enjoyed exercising my 1st Amendment freedoms after serving over 20 years to defend them for others.
Once we hang up the uniform, we become CITIZENS again. Understood?
Your comments are duly noted, "sir".
My thoghts exactly. Plus Andrew Jackson, U.S. Grant, Teddy Roosevelt, Ike, G.H.W. Bush, John McCain, and a host of others. Maybe the good General could take his own advice and stop shilling for Obama.
That helps confirm the charges, IMO.
We have a military subordinate to civilian leadership, we do not have a military obsequious to civilian leadership.
I will take this as your resignation, Dempsey.
Just how many former military officers actually did become President?
Let's see, just off the top of my head:
George W. Bush
Jimmy Carter
Teddy Roosevelt
U. S. Grant
Andy Jackson
Franklin Pierce
Zachary Taylor
Of course it's not useful to him. How friggin' obvious, General.
That is a very good point.
"When we assumed the soldier we did not lay aside the citizen," from then-Gen. George Washington's June 26, 1775, letter to the Provincial Congress is inscribed inside the apse.
Note: The above quote was a favorite of Col David (Perfumed Princes) Hackworth USA (Ret.) (now deceased)
"There ain't no ticks like poly-ticks. Bloodsuckers all."
-Davy Crockett (unsourced)
He's got it backwards, since he's the one who's active duty and ought to keep his mouth shut.
General General, really? You fight for the constitution and higher powers... Obama may be your commander, but if he is such a Queer star for you to die for in his arms, why don't you come out the fracking fascist closet, Dempsey?
By the way, I did not renew my military stay because of queer leaders like Dempsey.
Moron on duty.
A perfumed princess sitting on his Pentagon throne? Gen. Martin, they now happen to be civilians and you're in the active service so how about you stay out of politics by keeping your politics to yourself. So take your own advice.
General Dhimmitude will now be given the People's Army Liberation People's Medal, for his bravery in squashing the Tea Party Rebellion.
All you other Military offices better follow his example.
(or else......)
Humpty Dumpsey
The headline should read: Political hack, General Dempsey, says veterans should stay out of politics.
They guy has a good service record, but Washington has a way of changing people as we all know. This guy ought to be on the side of the troops, not the Leaker in Chief.
He's what we call a "Regular Army Clown."
PLAN is looking for a few good running dog lackeys, General.
Be all they'll let you be.
These high ranking 4 star generals are nothing but political butt kissers. They screw the troops to make their own gain. I dealt with many, many of these types in my 20 years. They were political officers, in the game to punch their tickets and make that next grade, on the backs of the troops. I had some really great officers also who cared for the men and women and would break their butts for us, and most of the time get into trouble for doing it. I frankly can say that I did not like 80% of the officers I worked under. My NCOs by a massive margin were better than the stinking political officers.
Did you forget George H.W. Bush?
There is video of him being picked up out of the water after bailing out of a plane somewhere.
Next he'll be telling soldiers not to vote (conservative soldiers, that is).
So it's all about him and whether retired soldiers are "useful" to him? This guy just confirms more politicization of the military by liberals
sorry, dempsey
It's all about you, eh Marty boy?
Some people work their way to the top, others just sucked their way.
You are not their commander, Dempsey, they are retired with all Constitutional protections though Obambi and possibly you don't like it.
George HW Bush, John Kennedy

White House Photo, PD. This morning former British Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher died from a stroke at the age of 87. Serving as the first female Prime Minister in the U.K., Thatcher won three general elections for the Conservative Party and shaped British politics for a generation. We culled through the archives of the Miller Center Oral History Projects and present in this post key excerpts from the interviews in which former administration officials recollect the relationships between Presidents Ronald Reagan and George H.W. Bush and "The Iron Lady." Former Reagan White House Chief of Staff Howard H. Baker, Jr. during a Miller Center Reagan Oral History Interview: He had a great respect for Mrs. [Margaret] Thatcher…I've often thought—I believe Maggie Thatcher was the only person who could intimidate Ronald Reagan, but I believe she could. Caspar Weinberger, former Secretary of Defense in the Reagan administration, during a Miller center Reagan Oral History Interview: Well, she is a remarkable lady in every way and also was very much the same as President Reagan in being willing to challenge—and challenge very successfully and very effectively—the conventional wisdom. She and President Reagan, I think, had more to do with changing the political agenda than anyone else. They supported things that people didn't even talk about because they were so far off the conventional screen: small government, cutting taxes, privatizing services, decreasing the power of the government to increase the power of people, and so forth. All of the standard things that we now take for granted and debate very vigorously. It's hard to realize or recall, but in the years they were coming to power, these things weren't talked about. These were not issues at all. This was several years ago. It was not a question of whether you wanted big government, it was just how big a government and how would they do it? You turned to government to solve any particularly difficult problems. The fact that they cost both dollars and narrowing of individual liberty as you expanded governmental power, were not issues until both Mrs. Thatcher and the President raised them and raised them very effectively. She was an extremely eloquent speaker and very persuasive. There had not been any major distinction, really between the previous conservative governments and the labor governments. It was very hard to tell who was in. They got into a tremendously difficult labor situation, in which most of the services were shut down, and she appealed to enough people who wanted to change that so that she was able to make a major difference there. She always worked very closely with President Reagan and supported him, admired him, and together they made really major changes in the whole political agenda and the whole political debate. Former Secretary of Defense Caspar Weinberger during a Miller Center Roundtable on the Falklands War: The Reagan-Thatcher relationship has to be seen as one of the key alliances of the Cold War, (including, Mrs. Thatcher's endorsement of Mikhail Gorbachev as a man "you can do business with," which helped pave the way for the Reagan-Gorbachev summits). Personal Assistant to Ronald Reagan James Kuhn: Yes, he [Reagan] thought the world of her, was very close to her and vice versa. They were together many, many times. Camp David twice, the White House, I don't know, several times, over there I think at least a couple of times. But they were also together in other parts of the world, for the G7 economic summits. So they were quite close. It was almost at one point to the point where Reagan was too nice, and I can give you an example. We were meeting at Camp David. She was there in December of '84 and then came back a couple of years later. It was a Saturday plenary session. Shultz was there, National Security Advisor, was it Regan or was it Baker, I can't remember, and then their counterparts on the other side of the table. It was supposed to be a two-hour session or something. Reagan had his points that he needed to make in terms of the relationship, defense, economic trade, political, cultural, Soviet Union. But he thought so much of her, was so fond of her – I mean, she could talk. She could really go for a long time. She dominated the first half of that plenary session and he virtually got none of his points in. We had a break and I pulled him aside, went in the room and said, "Mr. President, we're running out of time here. You've got a lot of material to cover and you haven't done it yet. You're going to have to take the ball here and really move. We're going to run out of time." He said, "Well Jim, you know how fond I am of Maggie. She's a woman and she had a lot she wanted to say, and I just thought I would let her do that." I said, "That's fine, but Mr. President, you've got to jimp in there." He said, "No, no, no," he said, "I will." I said, "c'mon Ron, you've got to get in the game." But's that how fond he was of her, and just let her go. Frederick J. Ryan, Jr., Chief of Staff of the Office of Ronald Reagan from 1989 to 1995, during a Reagan Oral History Interview: Regarding a trip to Europe… He [Reagan] saw Margaret Thatcher, of course. She had a dinner for him in his honor at Downing Street. He gave the address and the Queen gave him the knighthood, the Order of the Bath. He was the first American President ever to get it, and it is the highest honor that can be given to a non-Brit. Regarding their special relationship… Yes. With him it was always we. It was never, I did this. And I know he would talk a lot to Margaret Thatcher and they would share their enthusiasm for what was happening. But he was not looking for a pat on the back. Former Secretary of State George Shultz, during a Reagan Oral History interview, on how President Reagan taught Thatcher to use a teleprompter: Had a fascinating time at a little luncheon when he instructed Margaret Thatcher on how to use a TelePrompTer. I think she was getting ready to address a joint session and she was going to use a TelePrompTer, which she hadn't used before. I guess in Britain they're shaped like this, whereas here they're shaped like that. He explained to her why our way was better and she should shift. Then he said, Now you want to be sure that the numbers of the pages are on the TelePrompTer and you turn the page, no one even notices you're turning the page, but you always want your text in front of you because you never can know when something will go wrong with the TelePrompTer and then you want to be able to pick right up. I actually saw that happen to him in Strasbourg, and he picked it up almost as though nothing had happened. Then he said, Be sure to have a few good quotation marks in your speech and when you come to one of those, pick the piece of paper up so people see it and you read it and then you put it down. That makes the rest of it look less read. And don't feel you have to read everything, you know what you're saying, and don't be like this, and then like this and like this. Speak yourself and the text is there, but you don't have to read it exactly the way it's there. You say it. He went through a whole bunch of little things, only by way of saying that he thought about it a lot, how do you do this. And I think that's one of the benefits of being an actor. That's what you're doing, there's a role here and how am I going to make this role seem legitimate and valid? People have the idea if it's an actor, it's phony. It isn't. But it's one thing that you have to do in public life, or for that matter—I mean, what is a professor in a classroom? A good teacher is somebody who really thinks about how I'm going to get across this material. So that's a good thing. Okay? Henry Catto, former Ambassador to the U.K. and a long-time Texas friend of George H. W. Bush, during an interview with the Miller Center's George H.W. Bush Oral History Project: Regarding joining a meeting with Thatcher, Lawrence Eagleburger and Bob Gates: …It was wonderful to watch Thatcher, every hair in place. She had on so much hair spray she could repel small arms fire. She would sit there like this and say, Now, Larry, tell me precisely what it is you want to say. And then she'd pop in the cassette that she would run through her head and start telling, I know what you're going to say, and I don't like it, and here are the reasons why. Regarding how he was clued into conversations between Bush and Thatcher: Well, that's interesting, because the British had a system whereby whenever Maggie would call George, or vice versa, they would brief their Ambassador in Washington what went on. We did not have such a system. But I came to know a fellow at the National Security Council named Philip Zelikow, oddly enough, who would fill me in on those things, for which I was very grateful. When I came back to Washington, I'd go by and see Philip and find out what was happening. Regarding what was frustrating about the relationship between Bush and Thatcher: Catto: As I do point out in the book, it was frustrating to know, not from anything other than body language and knowing George Bush, that when Maggie would slip the cassette in and talk at 300 words per minute with gusts to 500, he really didn't like that. He wanted dialogue, not monologue. Eventually, as I believe I mentioned in the book, I sat down with Powell at lunch one day and told him that if I were he, I would suggest that she be more receptive to letting him have a word edgewise and not be quite so forward. Ronnie was happy to have her do and say whatever she wanted, but Bush wasn't Ronnie. It was just a different thing, and she had to readjust her thinking, which she did. Masoud: By the way, how do you know that Reagan was comfortable with the monologue? Catto: Because I was there and saw it. At a dinner party at 10 Downing Street for ex-President Reagan, sitting next to him and listening to her—she was on his other side—tell him what to do and how to do it and when to begin and when to stop, all the while with Nancy benignly smiling on this, knowing that Ronnie was in the very best of hands. James Baker III, former Secretary of State and Chief of Staff during the George H.W. Bush administration: Regarding differences in the way President Bush dealt with Thatcher: It showed that we were deliberate, that we were thoughtful, that we were not just going to jump in here and say everything is going to go exactly the way—a new President has to carve out his own identity. We saw the same thing happening in terms of his leadership with the alliance, and we had the initial tensions, if you remember, with Margaret Thatcher, who was a wonderful friend and a terrific Prime Minister of the UK [United Kingdom]. But Reagan was so strong, so powerful, and so secure in his own skin he'd let her speak for the United States. Well, we couldn't do that. The United States has to be the leader of the alliance. Former Bush administration Chief of Staff John Sununu regarding how President Bush communicated with Thatcher and other heads of state, during a George H.W. Bush Oral History interview: But what George Bush did is make good use of the telephone. But these were not spontaneous phone calls. He would have a phone conversation with Margaret Thatcher once a week, or once every three days, but it was orchestrated. Brent and Baker would come in and say, You've got to talk to Margaret and we've got to deal with these two issues and we want it to go this way, she wants it to go that way, and move it, Mr. President. And he'd get on the phone. Tweet Date edited: 04/08/2013 (1:10PM) Comments Rules for Comments We reserve the right to remove any post or user.

KANKAKEE - Governor Pat Quinn today announced a $21.5 million investment for a major upgrade of the Kankakee River Metropolitan Agency (KRMA) wastewater treatment plant that will create more than 600 construction jobs in the area. This announcement is part of Governor Quinn's agenda to drive Illinois' economy forward and protect the environment by modernizing Illinois' water infrastructure. Funded by a low-interest loan through Governor Quinn's $1 billion Illinois Clean Water Initiative (ICWI), the project will help prevent pollutants from entering the Kankakee River and meet the clean water needs of 70,000 people.
"Clean water is key to a community's health and economic strength," Governor Pat Quinn said. "Today's announcement means jobs for the Kankakee region and improved water quality for local residents. The Illinois Clean Water Initiative is creating jobs by helping our communities meet the future needs of their families and businesses, while also cleaning up our rivers."
The KRMA treatment plant serves the communities of Kankakee, Aroma Park, Bourbonnais, Bradley, Chebanse and Manteno. It currently serves a population of 68,884 customers, but that is projected to grow to about 104,000 by the year 2030. On average more than 25 million gallons flow through the plant every day.
The upgrades will bring the plant into compliance with current requirements for dissolved oxygen, ammonia and heavy metal limits in the plant's National Pollution Discharge Elimination System for the plant's effluent discharges into the Kankakee River after treatment. Among the upgrades is a replacement of the anaerobic digestion system, adding flow tanks and replacing dechlorination equipment.
"I fully support the Clean Water Initiative's project to upgrade the KRMA Wastewater Treatment Plant" U.S. Rep. Robin Kelly (D-Ill) said. "This project is not only critical to preserving the vitality of the river and the supply of clean drinking water for residents, it will also serve as a much-needed economic engine for the region, creating more than 2,800 direct and indirect jobs."
"By upgrading the region's wastewater treatment plant, we can improve the quality of life for tens of thousands of residents through substantially reduced pollution in the Kankakee River, which will be key to the region's population growth and business expansion for years to come," Lisa Bonnett, Director of the Illinois Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) said. "For the individual citizen, this means a cleaner and more beautiful Kankakee River to enjoy, whether for canoeing, fishing or just walking along the banks."
The funding announced today is part of a total $56 million critical upgrade of the 75-year-old plant. Construction on the project began last fall with a $15 million loan from the Wastewater State Revolving Fund administered by the Illinois EPA. The project is expected to be complete within about three years.
The entire project is estimated to create approximately 610 direct construction jobs for area trade union members, including laborers, plumbers, pipefitters, operating engineers, electricians, teamsters, painters and carpenters, as well as about 2,248 indirect jobs related to purchase of services, supplies and equipment. The ICWI provides a local economic boost across the state by insuring adequate water and sewer infrastructure for residents and business alike and supports an estimated 28,000 jobs throughout Illinois.
"This kind of investment puts people to work strengthening their own communities and I want to thank Governor Quinn for making it happen," Mike Smith, President of the Kankakee Federation of Labor said. "This project has helped so many of my members provide for their families now and it lays the groundwork for growth in the future."
"A strong water system means a stronger local economy and that means more construction," Steve Magruder, President of the Kankakee & Iroquois Building and Construction Trades Council said. "Governor Quinn knows that a big project like overhauling the treatment plant is a shot in the arm for everyone in the area."
"Governor Quinn's Clean Water Initiative hits a triple," Chris Meister, Executive Director of the Illinois Finance Authority said. "It puts thousands of women and men of the unionized buildings and trades to work. It saves money for local tax and rate payers by cutting interest costs. And it ensures clean safe drinking water for the people of Illinois."
Governor Quinn launched the $1 billion Illinois Clean Water Initiative in his 2012 State of the State Address to help local governments facing a critical need to overhaul aging drinking water and wastewater treatment plants and distribution and collection systems. The ICWI is funded with annual federal grants, funds from the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act and additional principal and interest from loan repayments. No new state tax dollars are used.
According to the U.S. EPA it is estimated the total water infrastructure needs in Illinois over the next 20 years total $32 billion, including $17 billion in wastewater projects (which is the 6th highest among the states) and $15 billion in drinking water projects (4th highest need in the nation).

You'll have the perfect turkey for 12 people--with leftovers for tomorrow's sandwiches!
Baking stuffing in a casserole makes preparing the turkey easier on the cook. Just grease a 2 1/2-quart casserole and spoon in the stuffing. Cover and refrigerate until about 45 minutes before turkey is done. Bake covered in same oven with turkey 30 to 45 minutes or until hot.
Be sure to let the turkey stand for about 20 minutes before carving. You'll be rewarded with evenly cooked, moist and juicy turkey meat.

Comments: I purchased the Nike LunaRacer+3 shoes with the intention to use them for my half marathon tune up race before running the Houston Marathon. Unfortunately my half marathon was cancelled due to bad weather and the shoes went unused. As my marathon was approaching I started testing which shoe I would use for the race. I took the LunaRacers out of the box and took them for a six mile "test" run. The shoes felt like I was running on air! The six mile run quickly turned into a fast tempo run, with very little effort on my part! I ran sub 7:00 minute miles on the tempo run, and I was sold! I made the decision to use them for my marathon, and again, it was a great run. As a matter of fact, I PR'd at the Houston marathon with a 3:06 and I attribute a percentage of my time to the shoes and how light they made me feel during the marathon. This shoe is DEFINETLY a marathon shoe, and it's made for fast running with cushioning to make you feel like your floating on air. I'll definetely use them again in my next marathon, no questions asked!
From: Luis, Rowlett, TX, USA
Comments: This shoe is ready to run right out of the box. The only thing I had to modify in the shoe after my first run with them, 16 miles, was the plastic part that houses the Nike chip in the left shoe underneath the insole. I took the plastic ring out because I started feeling it after 10 miles. The little foam piece without the plastic ring is adequate. The fit is snug. The shoefitr guide recommended I go a half size larger than what I usually wear in a couple of my shoes, but when I tried a half size larger at the store it felt too big and didn't run well on their treadmill. I feel the toe box is pretty narrow so maybe be mindful of that if you require a wider toe box. Also the top of the shoe conforms to your entire foot including your toes but still doesn't feel like my toes are banging against the front. My initial run of 16 miles was really hilly and my toes felt fine and I didn't lose toenails so I feel the fit is good, but just different from the traditional upper of a running shoe. The sole is nice and cushioned and has a medium amount of flex I feel. I like a shoe that's not too stiff but not too flexible for distances 13+ miles. They feel fast and light for long distances as well and are forgiving if you accidentally heel strike here and there when hopping off curbs or downhills. I run more forefoot/midfoot and these shoes have no problem allowing good form. Overall, a great shoe at a great price considering how light these shoes are and the moderate amount of cushioning. Definitely race-able and great for distance training.
From: Alex, Portland, Oregon, USA
Comments: I know where you're coming from, Bill. When they say the toe box is low, they mean its really low, so that takes some adjustment especially since my other shoes are NB 1400s, which are pretty forgiving in the toe box, but in my opinion aren't as responsive as the Lunaracers. Other than that, they don't have a heel cup, which is awesome, except I've found myself swimming around in the heel area since there's a lot of space I had to relace them after my first couple runs to accommodate that. I never wore the original lunaracers so I can't compare them, but I've heard that the 3's are a touch wider than the originals, and I wear them sockless which I heard you couldn't do with the originals because of an uncovered seam. I've only had them a week, but I've put 70 miles on them in that week, and will try to hit anywhere from 70-90 this summer. So far they hold up well, but time will tell.
From: Matt, St. Paul, MN
Comments: Out of the box I noticed a significant improvement with the material in the upper. The first version was a great shoe but the material in the upper could be pretty brutal. The knit in this version is more comfortable and breathable. The midsole is exactly the same as the LR 1. After a day of walking around I decided to do my 20 mile run in them. They are the same shoe performance-wise. Great cushion and response. Still get the funny sensation at the end of my toes in the latter stages of the run and got a minor blister on a pinky toe. Otherwise no problems. No unexpected knee or hip soreness. Great upgrade by Nike and will definitely run my next marathon in this one.

Az ingatlan értékelései
Very comfortable flat!
we really enjoyed our stay and we loved the balcony!
Two rooms which are small but adequate.
good location-near to metro station.
Logement bien situé. Dans l'appartement, quelques précisions sur les services du quartier (boulangerie, supermarché...) et des informations sur les services médicaux d'urgence seraient les bienvenus.
Michèle de Grenoble
L'appartamento è in una posizione strategica. Perfetto per quattro persone. Suggerisco delle piccole cose che andrebbero inserite: un attaccapanni all'ingresso , un asciugamani da usare in cucina e delle tovagliette per la colazione. Picccole cose che però sono di grande utilità.
Noi siamo state bene. Giovanna
Een fijn appartement. Mooi centraal gelegen nabij het metrostation.
Goed ingericht en alles bij de hand.
Enkele verbeterpunten. Het servies en bestek verdienen wat aandacht. Betere messen en een kurkentrekker kan zeker van pas komen. Maar zeer belangrijk om iets te doen aan geluidisolatie. Het appartement is zeer gehorig (straatgeluid). Vooral 's nachts is dit hinderlijk en niet bevorderlijk voor een goede nachtrust.
A házigazda egyéb ingatlanjainak értékelései
Very good apartment, ideally located in the Eixample center. Fully equipped on a top floor with balcony with the morning sun shining on it. After some starting problems the WIFI worked well.
the only unpleasant surprise was the outrageous commission WIMDU charged of approx. 75 Euros... That is almost 25 % of the price for the whole stay...
very good service at all, nice people! i can remmoned it!
Very nice stay in Barcelona, friendy organization. Children are welcome. Only drawbacks: slow Wifi, elevator can be heard in one bedroom.
Quick response, quick followup and when things went wrong - the upstairs neighbours bathroom sprung a leak - we were immediately offered a new apartement if we desired - great service.
Apartment was as advertised - very Central, but next to Las Ramblas is pushing it slightly. But it is easily within walking distance (10 min). Pl. Espanya is also not much further away, so it is very central.
Turn left out of the door and left at the corner and then walk down two blocks (along Parlament) and you're at Poble Sec metro along Avenida parallell. From there you can go anywhere quickly.
The apartment is mainly furnished with IKEA furniture, which are functional. There is an electrical oven and ceramic top in the kitchen, for us who are not used to gas. 3 bedrooms, a small but functional living room, a 20 m3 terrace - which probably is nice when it is a bit warmer, a small utility room with washing machine, vacuum cleaner, steam iron and ironing board etc. In addition to heaters, there are two heat pumps. Bear in mind this is a Spanish building, which is a bit - different - then what many are used too. All in all though, a really nice place to stay.
The only "bad things" to be said are:
- the spanish are loud and in the morning and evening you will discover that there is little sound proofing. However, it is not a problem as it follows a normal day rhythm and in the evening it stops around 22:00 and becomes quiet.
- The apartment is on the backside of the building and there is no view. Again it also means it is quieter than the frontside, which is preferrable in my case.
I'd go back there in a heartbeat for my next vacation.
The apartment was a highlight of my stay in Barcelona. Everything from booking to checking out was easy and stress free. The apartment is clean and comfortable, has a lovely private terrace and is in a great location for seeing all of Barcelona. We were lacking in some items in the kitchen (ie. cutting board) but were able to make-do. I would have assumed that things like salt and pepper, tea bags etc. would be there for use but everything had to be bought which wasn't ideal because we were only there for three nights and a lot got left behind. It was lovely to be able to buy fresh baguettes from the patisserie and visit the cheese shop all within a five minute walk. Highly recommended!
Practical apartment just 2 blocks from the Sagrada Familia. 3 separate bedrooms and 2 bathrooms served 6 persons well. The apartment had just 1 airconditionunit. It was placed in the livingroom. We had to keep the doors to the bedrooms open at night to avoid too hot temperatures.

Love the look
"Leather is very soft. The leather zipper flower takes the pump from ordinary to extraordinary. It is a little off center, which I could not tell from the website, but looks very nice. I'm a size 8 and often go up a half size in Italian shoes but there were no half sizes when I placed my order so I got the 8. It fits. My issue is the description said it had a 3 inch heel. I measured it because it seemed taller. It is actually a 4 inch heel. The platform offsets some of the height but I might not have ordered them if the heel height had been described as 4 inches. The heel is thin so they make me feel a little unsteady, not because they're defective, just have to get used to them. I was disappointed they did not come with a shoe bag or replacement heel inserts. Most high end shoes I buy come with both."

Cornerback Terence Newman isn't still unsigned because he's holding out for the best deal possible. The 34-year-old defensive back has suitors, but the step of signing an actual contract with a team is being held up because Newman says he doesn't know where Ben Dogra, his agent, is. Newman made his displeasure clear in a tweet Sunday:
"If anyone sees Ben Dogra of CAA, tell him I'd like him to get my deal finalized so if he could call me it would be appreciated," Newman tweeted.
Combined with the fax machine disaster featuring defensive end Elvis Dumervil and his agent Marty Magid, it has not been a good NFL offseason for representation.

Peru-Ecuador Trade Mission Already Yielding Results
The first U.S. Agribusiness Trade and Investment Mission to Peru and Ecuador ended on a high note February 2. Over two days, 20 U.S. companies had the opportunity to meet face-to-face with dozens of Peruvian and Ecuadorian producers, processors, buyers, traders, and investors, who had come to form partnerships and develop trade relationships. I am pleased to report that some business deals have been finalized with more in process. The in-person contact provided by the mission has been absolutely essential to establishing a foundation for future trade. Read more »

Ed Note: Singapore's police announced Friday that they would cooperate with Interpol to help Italian authorities investigate match-fixing syndicates.
With the domestic European football season on a seven-day sabbatical ahead of a number of mouth-watering midweek international friendlies this past Monday morning, just as some of the sport's highest grade talent was assembling on their respective training pitches the director of Europol, Rob Wainwright delivered the beautiful game's gatekeepers a most damning verdict.
Operation VETO an 18 month long investigation conducted by a pan-European police force had unearthed considerable evidence an isolated virus inflicting football has turned into a continent wide pandemic.
If confirmation was even needed that European football's annual flagship event was not immune Wainwright's diagnoses included a non-specific UEFA Champions League case.
The richest domestic club competition in world football infected with the poison of Match Fixing. Other victims include World Cup and EURO 2012 Qualifiers. We cannot feel surprised. Nor shock.
It's what happens to all diseases when they are allowed to incubate as they go unchecked by the appropriate authorities.
As crime syndicates have infiltrated the sport in a manner as destructive as any defender witnesses in his feeble attempts to contain Messi, those most accountable for why this has been allowed to happen have remained stubbornly quiet through the week.
Bonjour Monsieurs Blatter and Platini.
Save of course, the organizations they preside over voicing displeasure through the smokescreen of quiet whispers that un-cooperative Europol hadn't even been in touch to advise what they'd unearthed. Let alone prior warn UEFA or FIFA they would be going public with their findings!
You don't need to be a rocket scientist to understand why the decision was made by Europol not to brief supposedly two of the greatest and grandest sporting entities on earth.
Sadly, the silence from Geneva and Nyon echoes perfectly the classically conditioned behaviour we have witnessed through the ages regarding football's other ugly manifestations racism and corruption.
We have gone well past the point for FIFA and UEFA to check their moral compass.
Football's very own match fixing caped crusader, Ottawa's Declan Hill - author of 2010's globally acclaimed "The Fix: Soccer and Organized Crime" - recently returned from Rome and a two-day conference organized by Interpol.
"Match Fixing: The Ugly Side of the Beautiful Game" was the rather apt conference title. Hill delivered a key note speech to a room equally filled with well-meaning police officers and ambivalent at best football administrators.
It was Hill's tome that introduced us to a heinous chap who goes by the humorous moniker of Dan Tan. AKA Tan Seet Eng. Sounds like a criminal version of the Morse Code.
Match Fixing's ringmaster has an international warrant issued by Interpol out for his arrest. Problem is Singapore - the epicentre of Europol's investigation - refuses to serve the warrant citing a lack of an extradition treaty.
Extradition Treaties are naturally between nation states. Pretty difficult to have one with an International Police Agency, all the Qatari petrodollars in the world couldn't buy one.
World Soccer put a rather eloquent take on Singapore earlier in the week - 'You might get fined for chewing gum in Singapore, but fix a few football matches and you're an entrepreneur.'
Wait, it gets better.
Hill unearthing this gem when he spoke with TSN 690 earlier in the week, "Interpol and FIFA are opening a multi dollar education centre against Match Fixing next year."
Finally, the world governing body will be seen to be doing something. Until you discover where they will place it.
"It's in Singapore," Hill disclosed.
Make that one up, Quentin Tarantino.
Hill went onto explain, "It's so mind boggling. The country where there is an international arrest warrant served against a major fixer, [the Singaporean government] refuse to act on that international arrest warrant. And FIFA and Interpol are placing headquarters of their activities against match-fixing in that country.
"What kind of education can any referee or player who is brought to that centre get from that? The very government that they are placing the centre in refuses to acknowledge international warrants against major fixers. It's outrageous."
At the Rome conference, Hill wanted Interpol to include in their closing statement wording to the effect that Singapore honours its international warrant against Dan Tan. The response according to Hill was to shout him down.
Isn't that what bullies do?
Cornered, Hill has started a petition to get the Singapore government to serve the arrest warrant on Tan. Suggesting Canadian's should write to the Singapore Embassy urging the country that is seen as the financial hub and sobriety of Asia honour the request.
And don't think our football and players are immune. Recently, we had the high profile disclosure involving a Canadian Soccer League match.
Most damning ever and likely one of the most despicable episodes in Canadian sport involved players who bought complete shame to the nation and all we stand for after criminally agreeing to take a bribe to throw the semifinal of the 1986 Merlion Cup match against of all nations, North Korea.
Now factor in the fact that '86 represents the only time we've qualified for the World Cup Finals.
The timing of Europol's pronouncements ironically has taken considerable media heat away from UEFA President Platini. This stemming from France Football's 20-page investigation into the awarding of the 2022 World Cup Finals - 'Qatargate' was published late last month.
Amongst the more serious allegations centres round a lunch that occurred in Paris in late November 2010 - a mere 10 days before FIFA's executive committee members awarded Qatar the rights to the 2022 World Cup Finals.
Attending that lunch alongside Platini was ex-French President Nicolas Sarkozy and the Crown Prince of Qatar. France Football alleges Platini came under pressure to switch his vote from the US. Platini has subsequently issued a denial and threatened to sue anyone who alleges his vote was bought.
Quite coincidentally in early 2011, the Qatari State Investment Fund purchased Paris St. Germain, the club Sarkozy supports (Bienvenue, Becks). Then last year, a TV broadcaster owned by QSIF opened a French sports TV station that shortly afterwards submitted an astronomical bid to win the broadcasts rights to Ligue 1.
Platini is very much seen as Blatter's heir apparent. To the conspiracy theorists it is mere subterfuge that two of the most powerful men in all of world sport have a very public disdain for each other.
This is best illustrated by their diametric views on technology's place in world football - Blatter embracing Goal Line Technology, a subject matter sacré bleu in the eyes of Platini.
Let us just hope football's most powerful in step with the appropriate law enforcement authorities and governments finally set about charting the necessary path to bring to justice those who currently are structurally permitted to wreak their ill-gotten havoc right across the world's game.
A starting point could be calling a thorough investigation into the discoveries stemming from Operation VETO that scientifically analyses root cause and effect.
In the past, The Beautiful Game has stopped wars. Most famously bought a sense of complete togetherness - the likes of the United Nations could only dream of - when war ravaged Iraq was crowned Asian Champion at the height of the brutal conflict in 2007.
That victory ignited country wide celebrations amongst Shiite and Sunni alike.
Try explaining Operation VETO to those people.
