Skip to comments.Report: GOP senators wont confirm Kerry until Clinton testifies on Benghazi
Posted on 12/26/2012 12:31:59 PM PST by Nachum
Republican senators will refuse to confirm Sen. John Kerry, D-Mass., as Secretary of State until the nations current top diplomat, Hillary Clinton, testifies about her handling of the Benghazi terrorist attack.
The Senate is expected to take up Kerrys nomination in early January, but multiple Republican senators have already said they wont agree to a vote on Kerrys nomination until Clinton testifies about the Sept. 11 attack on the U.S. mission in Benghazi, The Cables Josh Rogin notes.
Clinton backed out of testifying at a congressional hearing last week after fainting and suffering a concussion. She was the first cabinet-level official to acknowledge that terrorists played a role in the assault on the U.S. mission in Benghazi.
For some time, al-Qaida in the Islamic Maghreb and other groups have launched attacks and kidnappings from northern Mali into neighboring countries, Clinton said during a United Nations meeting in New York on September 26. Now, with a larger safe haven and increased freedom to maneuver, terrorists are seeking to extend their reach and their networks in multiple directions. And they are working with other violent extremists to undermine the democratic transitions underway in North Africa, as we tragically saw in Benghazi, (emphasis added).
(Excerpt) Read more at washingtonexaminer.com ...
The list, Ping
Let me know if you would like to be on or off the ping list
The list, Ping
Let me know if you would like to be on or off the ping list
Wow. Pwned two loses with one shot!
That should be losers... :)
The man lied to Congress and committed an act of naked treason to serve as a propagandist for the enemy (he even now admits that his claims of war crimes observed and participated in were the exaggerations of an impassioned youthful John Kerry).
They shouldn't be confirming him at all!
She's trying to run out the clock. It's obvious as heck.
She doesn't recall.
Since they're not going to reference Cross Border Authority why bother?
It's pointless.
Never change horses in the middle of a yellow stream.
Good tactical move, finally
What I said last week when her office indicated she would not appear at the hearings. No confirmation hearings for Lurch until she testifies.
Good tactical move, finally
Lets hope they don't back down now. And let's hope she gets a thorough briefing.
Bill says, "You're screwed honey, they have the blood-stained bodies!"
Good idea. Get all the info while she's still on the clock. Otherwise, she might say she "Doesn't recall" later.
I hope the stupid party pulls together on this.
Remember the story about JFnK attending a VVAW meeting where they discussed killing U.S. Senators.
They'll fold as soon as the first bad word comes from the Beltway media.
Hillary is probably in fear for her life with what she knows about Benghazi. Her 'staying home' is a security measure as she doesn't wish to become another statistic on "the list".
Howie Carr list ping. Would guess this postpones the special election a bit, as things move forward only when/if J F'n K
gets approved by the Senate for SecState...and the longer this takes...
She also doesn't want to talk about the resignations that were not resignations. People are simply being shifted around to other positions.
Someone who MEETS with the Enemy during Wartime, and gives AID AND COMFORT as he did, should be hung for Treson.
This Gigolo/Gold-Digger is the epitomy of arrogant/asshole/America-Hating snot that is consistent with Democrats today.
Barbara Steisand - they'll confirm him as soon as he comes up. 'Pubs are spineless cowards.
BTW: I have seen Charles Woods speak out effectively about his son's death. But I have yet to see Tyrone Woods' wife say one word. Have I just missed her appearances?
Is that 2016 calling, Hill?
Well Reid says he's going to arbitraliry change senate filabuster rules etc
great test case harry ya jerk
I would prefer to see - Report: GOP Senators won't confirm Kerry. That headline would have a much greater appeal.
***** "Good tactical move, finally" *****
Naw, They will Cave ... they always do. They will Wheel and Deal and Surrender
The problem is that John Kerry can still be confirmed as Secretary of State no matter what Hillary does, since his confirmation requires only the approval by a Senate majority, which the Democrats have.
Although if John Kerry is not permitted to approve his own nomination and a replacement for Senate Inouye does not get appointed soon, things might get interesting.
Trash hildas chances of being elected in 16 now. Play the rats game as nasty as they do, get her up there and grill her fat @ss, get sound bites to play again and again.
Whitewater? What's that?
A slight show of testicular fortitude from the repubs. Not much, but better than nothing.
However, they should not confirm Kerry at all! The country doesn't need another America-hating marxist.
Why confirm him at all? He can't even pronounce Ghengis Khan properly.
It's a good move. But probably the only thing that could get Hillary to recover from her (snicker, snicker) "concussion" and testify would be waterboarding. She's terrified of Obama. She didn't do anything wrong on her own, because Hillary, feminist icon, has never done anything on her own but has spent her life protecting powerful men.
But if the legal penalties for covering up for him are going to be too severe, she may weaken and admit what really happened. So my question is what is it that she fears so much from Obama?
Don't forget that Hillary has all the FBI files on every possible threat.
They are ALL corrupt and will cave to her.
And where are the Ambassador's parents. They got very hot under the collar when CNN recovered his diary weeks after the murders, but have been strangely silent since. Are they so "in the tank" for Obama that they can't defend their dead son?
Ratface Harry has already promised to end the fillibuster on the first day of the new session. Republicans will be completely shut out of the confirmation process. They will be able to do exactly nothing.
Anyone who votes "YES" for that traitorous POS should be immediately drummed out of the Senate and also the USA.
I will be amazed if either of our Sens from Maine have any reservations about confirming their fellow Marxist traitor.
They sure didn't when they confirmed Kagan the Pagan and LaRasa Sotomayor to the SCOTUS, did they?
The only reason they balked on appointing Rice was so they could confirm Hanoi Johnny in stead.
This confirmation will just be one more demonstration that they perjured themselves when they took the oath of office to "support & defend"- but most all of of them did, it would appear.
Nothing ever much became of that little *intrigue.* Heh.
Who hired Craig Livingstone?
Cosmetic surgery or a stroke.
Let me guess, Hillary's concussion will be used as an excuse for selective short term memory loss during her testimony........
The 0bama regime is morally bankrupt and totally corrupt.
She will have to order a liver transplant before 2016.
It sucks that you're probably right.
In honor of Kerry, here is the Ghengis Khan song...
Notice that the Germans and other Europeans pronounce it with a soft J for Jengis, not the hard G for Ghengis. Wonder who taught Kerry to say it that way?
they grew some?

Gov. Chris Christie signed the legislation as P.L. 2010, Chapter 122 (P.L. 2010, c.122), on Jan. 5. Summary of the law
The law strengthened the state's already existing anti-bullying legislation, and the new provisions took full effect in the 2011-12 school year.
NJEA supported the overall bill but sought to strengthen the legislation by lobbying for amendments that would have required proper funding for training and programs in each district. NJEA insisted that school personnel who are required to serve as "anti-bullying specialists" should be trained and certified. Those recommendations did not find their way into the final version of the Anti-Bullying Bill of Rights. See NJEA official position statement
When carrying out the mandates of the law, however, school districts must honor the provisions of collective bargaining agreements.
LEGAL CHALLENGE: The State Council on Local Mandates struck down New Jersey's anti-bullying law as an unfunded mandate. The Allumuchy school district (Warren County) fought the law on the basis that it imposed costs unjustly on school districts that were required to execute it. Thereafter, a bill was introduced to appropriate $1 million to the Bullying Prevention Fund. Read more about this legal challenge to the anti-bullying law.
FUNDING LAW UPDATE: Lawmakers in the state Senate and Assembly passed the legislation on March 15. On March 26, 2012, Gov. Chris Christie signed the legislation creating a $1 million fund to pay for anti-bullying training programs in schools. Read more
The law defines harassment, intimidation or bullying as "any gesture, any written, verbal or physical act, or any electronic communication, whether it be a single incident or series of incidents, that is reasonably perceived as being motivated either by any actual or perceived characteristic… that takes place on school property, at any school-sponsored function, on a school bus, or off school grounds … that substantially disrupts or interferes with the orderly operation of the school or the rights of other students, and that a reasonable person should know, under the circumstances, will have the effect of physically or emotionally harming a student or damaging a student's property, or placing a student in reasonable fear of physical or emotional harm to his person or damage his property."
The Anti-Bullying Bill of Rights provides detailed procedures and timelines for reporting incidents of bullying. All school employees and contracted service providers are required to report such incidents.
Twice annually, school districts will be required to submit reports on harassment, intimidation, and bullying to the public and to the Department of Education. The department will use the data to assign a grade to schools and to districts. The grade must be posted on the school district website.
Data identifying the number and nature of all reports of harassment, intimidation, and bullying will be added to the New Jersey School Report Card.
The Anti-Bullying Bill of Rights requires that training on harassment, intimidation, and bullying be part of the training required for public school staff members in suicide prevention. That instruction is required to include information on reducing the risk of suicide for students who are members of communities identified as having members at high risk for suicide.
Public school teachers will be required to complete at least two hours of instruction on harassment, intimidation, or bullying prevention in each professional development period. Candidates for teacher certification will be required to complete programs on bullying.
Administrators and board of education members will have programs on harassment, intimidation, and bullying added to their training requirements.
Under the law, public institutions of higher education must adopt a policy to be included in the student code of conduct that prohibits harassment, intimidation, or bullying. The policy must outline disciplinary consequences and be distributed to students by e-mail to each student within seven days of the start of each semester. The policy must be posted on the school's website.
Under the Anti-Bullying Bill of Rights, principals are required to appoint one of their staff members as the school's anti-bullying specialist. The law specifies that the principal must appoint the currently employed guidance counselor, school psychologist, or another similarly trained individual to fill this role. If there is no such individual in the school, the principal must appoint another already employed individual in the school.
The commissioner of education is directed to establish in-service programs to train selected public school employees to act as school anti-bullying specialists and district anti-bullying coordinators.
At the district level, the superintendent must appoint a district anti-bullying coordinator. The bill does not specify the criteria for selecting the district coordinator other than that the "superintendent shall make every effort to appoint an employee of the school district to this position." The district coordinator must work with the school coordinators, coordinate district bullying prevention policies, and file reports with the state Department of Education.
The school anti-bullying specialist is required to chair a school safety team composed of the principal (or his or her designee) and the following other appointees of the principal: a teacher in the school, a parent of a student in the school, and other members determined by the principal. The law specifies that the parent on the team may not participate in any activities the team undertakes that may compromise student confidentiality.
According to the legislation, the purpose of the school safety team is to develop, foster, and maintain a positive school climate. Such teams will identify and address patterns of harassment, intimidation, or bullying. The legislation outlines policy revision and training responsibilities that fall on the team.
The bill also requires that the teams be provided with professional development opportunities that address effective practices of successful school climate programs and approaches.
The law designates the week beginning the first Monday in October of each year as a "Week of Respect" in the New Jersey. School districts are directed to observe the week by providing age-appropriate instruction focusing on preventing harassment, intimidation, or bullying. Throughout the school year, districts are expected to provide similar instruction in accordance with the New Jersey Core Curriculum Content Standards.

Sweet Suede!
"Super cute and very wearable. Comfortable enough to wear all day at work or out dancing, and dressy without being too flashy. The detailing across the toe is beautiful in person, and isn't flimsy like I've seen some similar features be on other pumps. This is my first experience with this brand, but I'm very likely to try them again in the future because of this great experience."

Benitez keen on Chelsea job
Former Liverpool manager Rafa Benitez has confirmed his interest in the Chelsea job after he emerged as the favourite to succeed Roberto Di Matteo.
- Related Content
Di Matteo was relieved of his duties on Wednesday morning and Benitez was quickly installed as Sky Bet's early favourite to succeed the Italian.
Benitez, speaking at a coaching seminar in Abu Dhabi before flying to London, told Sport360: "I have just found out [about Di Matteo]. Obviously Chelsea is a top side and they can compete for trophies so it goes in this category."
Asked if he had already spoken to Chelsea, he added: "You ask directly, I cannot answer directly.
"In football a lot of people are talking so we will see what happens in the next few days. I am looking for a club that can challenge for trophies and Chelsea is one of these clubs."
Benitez was reported to have spoken to Chelsea in the summer but backed away as they were only willing to offer a one-year deal, with former Barcelona boss Pep Guardiola - currently on a sabbatical - tipped to take charge.
But the Spaniard seems more open to the prospect now, saying: "I have to talk with my agent and see what he has been doing the last couple of days.
"But I am just trying to go to a team that can win. So we will find ways to have a challenge like this."

Time's annual list of the most 100 influential people is ostensibly a compilation of the world's most important humans. But when sports stars and entertainers get thrown into the rankings to spice things up, Time's list becomes more about selling magazines and having famous people discuss how awesome and brilliant their equally-famous friends are. (Example: Baz Luhrmann writing, with no hint of irony, about Beyonce's humility.)
That's why athletes, many of whom have no influence beyond sport, are all over these types of rankings. Which sports stars made Time's 100 in 2013?
Lindsey Vonn
The world's greatest skier is the most underrated active athlete in America. But she's injured and it's a non-Olympic year. The most press she's getting these days is for dating Tiger Woods. Why did she make this list? Probably because they got Danica Patrick to write up her blurb.
Mario Balotelli
Why the Italian soccer star and not Lionel Messi, the world's top player? Messi made it in 2012. Unless you're a president or Europe's central banker, you don't make this list twice in a row.
Li Na
Chris Evert has a nice write-up of the Chinese tennis star and the influence she has in the nation of 1.3 billion.
LeBron James
LeBron's blurb was written by Derek Jeter, who begins, "I've had the chance to meet LeBron James, and I know he's a Yankees fan. I also know it must be tough to root for the Yankees while living in Miami and Cleveland."
Being a frontrunner means sometimes having to make sacrifices.

|Canyon Pintado National Historic District
|Print Page
The Canyon Pintado National Historic District includes hundreds of archaeological sites, most deriving from the Fremont Culture (c. AD 0–1300) and Ute (c. AD 1300–1881) occupations of the Douglas Creek canyon. The name "Canyon Pintado," meaning "Painted Canyon," comes from the journal of Frey Francisco Silvestre Velez de Escalante. As a chronicler of the 1776 Escalante-Dominguez Expedition he wrote about some of the Native American pictographs included in the self-guided tour.
Seven premiere rock art locations and archaeological sites have been made available to the public, and are posted with interpretative panels. These sites are highlighted on the map below. A similar map may be found in the Canyon Pintado interpretative brochure, available at the White River Field Office and elsewhere.
The long-awaited new interpretive panels are now in place at sites featured on the map below. Check back with us for future updates regarding guided tours of Canyon Pintado in the spring or summer of 2010, new interpretive signs for Dragon Trail rock art sites, and more detailed synopses of the prehistory and history of Northwest Colorado and Canyon Pintado
Please help us protect these irreplaceable, culturally and scientifically valuable resources. Adding your own images or names to the rock art panels may weaken the rock itself, and result in the loss of the entire panel. Touching pictographs (painted figures) may leave behind oils that can cause the pigments to dissolve. Making rubbings of petroglyphs (carved or pecked figures) will erode the rock surface. Only take photographs or make sketches of rock art panels—never touch them. Intentionally damaging rock art is considered vandalism, and is punishable by law.
If you see others causing damage to rock art panels or other archaeological sites, please notify the White River Field Office (970-878-3800).
Lookout Point (milepost 67.6): A Fremont masonry room accompanied by drilled holes in
the bedrock. The holes are a mystery, with some suggesting they were used to predict important annual astronomical events.
East Fourmile (milepost 61.3): Ute and Fremont petroglyphs and pictographs adorn the
walls of East Fourmile Draw. An important excavated site (Hanging Hearth), a historic line shack, and a possible solstice marker (Sun Dagger) are also found here.
-An update on the current research at the Sun Dagger Site can be found here
State Bridge (milepost 59.7): A ridge south of the dirt road contains Classic style
Fremont petroglyphs.
Cow Canyon (milepost 57.8): Go 0.2 miles up the road going east. Turn right
(south) 0.8 miles, crossing two cattle guards, before turning left (east) up a draw. Drive 0.1 miles up the draw. Rock art panels are found about 90 yards to the left, facing the road.
White Birds (milepost 56.5): Walk up a short trail and look up from the viewing platform
to see colorful anthropomorphs (human-shaped figures) and other figures. These are probably related to the Barrier Canyon style of Fremont rock art.
Waving Hands (milepost 53.5): From the parking area, a marked path to the right (near
the highway) leads to "the Guardian," recognizable from the front cover of the brochure. A path to the left brings the viewer to a rock shelter with Fremont and Ute figures. Many Ute rock art panels in this region can be easily distinguished by their representations of horses, an animal introduced by the Spanish in the 1600s.

Black chia seeds- very yummy. Packaging is resealable which is quite nice.
Posted by Reviewer3318512 on Feb 21, 2012
Made some great chia gel out of it which we use in our breakfast smoothie. Some chia seeds do not get very well when you add water to them but these are awesome.

Posted by 4857003431287913044 on Feb 02, 2014
These go great with the shakes I drink, and I include them once in a while. I don't see much of a "filling up" effect as chia seed enthusiasts claim, but maybe that's just me.
Nothing better or worse
Posted by Reviewer2255873 on Nov 28, 2013
These were nothing different from the rest of the chia seeds out there. They are all over priced in my opinion. Just get the cheapest ones you can find.

I am only giving this two stars because although it was shipped very fast, the bag I received was broken, the seal was open, and most of my seeds spilled out. My rating is not based on whether it works or not because I have not tried it yet and will not try it until I hopefully get a new bag from iHerb. I have recently sent two emails to customer service and I am waiting for their response. I will update this review once I actually try the product.

The Philadelphia Eagles may have had a disappointing season, but you wouldn't have known it from the boisterous Eagles cheers coming from the gym at E.T. Hamilton Elementary School in Voorhees. The school won the NJEA/Eagles Radio Move Like Maclin Contest which included an Eagles Radio Pep Rally starring Eagles wide receiver Jeremy Maclin.
Guidance counselor Derek Myers and Rich Mann, a physical education teacher who recently retired after 37 years, led the charge at E.T. Hamilton. "When I read about this program in the NJEA newspaper, I had a strong feeling this fitness program will work well with these students," noted Mann.
E.T. Hamilton was just one of several New Jersey elementary schools that accepted the challenge to ramp up their physical activity for five weeks. This school-wide program encouraged students to walk, run, or jog during recess periods and outside of school. Students used a log to count the number of minutes they spent walking, jogging, or running each day.

Munster bounced back from last week's loss at Edinburgh with a 26-10 victory over Gloucester at Thomond Park on Saturday.
Munster bounced back from their loss at Edinburgh with a 26-10 Heineken Cup win over Gloucester on Saturday.
Damien Varley's try and 11 points from the boot of Ian Keatley gave the Irish province a 16-10 advantage at the interval, while Charlie Sharples' touchdown and Jonny Bentley's penalty was the Cherry and Whites' response.
Keatley then added a three-pointer in the second period and set up Johne Murphy's score as they secured a comfortable win.
Despite these sides enduring contrasting fortunes in round one of the competition, with the visitors defeating Perpignan and the home side losing to Edinburgh, Munster were heavy favourites for this encounter.
Gloucester director of rugby Nigel Davies decided to leave a number of first choice players at home and they were under pressure immediately. Rob Penney's men dominated early possession and territory and successive Keatley penalties saw them go into a 6-0 lead.
The fly-half then added a third from the tee as the Irish province further cemented their position before the West Country outfit fought back.
With their first real foray in the opposition 22, Dan Robson found an overlap on the short side and he put Sharples over for an opportunistic score. Bentley converted, but Munster responded with a try of their own, following confirmation by the Television Match Official, when Varley powered over.
Gloucester's fly-half did reduce the arrears just before the break, but the hosts still led at half-time.
The second period started much like the first with Penney's side controlling proceedings, but they struggled to break down a solid rearguard.
However, Keatley finally registered the first points of the half via a penalty with 14 minutes to go before they killed off the game when the pivot produced a delightful cross-kick which Murphy collected and scored.

Banks' Survival during the Financial Crisis: The Role of Regulatory Reporting Quality

November 2, 2011
Singapore Management University School of Accountancy Research Paper No. 2
We investigate the relation between the quality of bank regulatory reporting prior to and bank stability during the financial crisis that erupted in 2008. Using a large sample of private and public commercial banks in the United States and the incidence of accounting restatements as a proxy for the overall quality of the reporting system, we find that reporting quality is positively associated with stability. We show that lower reporting quality before the crisis is associated with higher non-performing loans and lower profitability at the onset of the crisis. We document that banks with lower reporting quality are more likely to experience regulatory intervention through enforcement actions and bank failures during the crisis. We also find some evidence that higher reporting quality is associated with more effective regulatory enforcement actions. We corroborate our findings using an alternative proxy that focuses on the quality of the loan loss provision. A key implication of our findings is that good regulatory reporting is important for the success of the banking system.

Ricoh whose products are distributed in Australia by CR Kennedy is set to launch a unique spherical-image-capture camera that shoots 180 degree images at both the front and back of the device and then stitches them together.
The RicohTheta spherical-image-capture camera is set to go on sale in the USA this week for $399 it is not known when it will go on sale in Australia.
The Theta, which was first announced last month at the IFA show in Berlin, captures a roughly 180-degree view of the scene in front of the camera and a second view of the area in the rear. The two scenes are then combined edge to edge in the camera to produce a single image.
Images can be viewed on smartphone apps as well as Windows and Mac desktops, offering a fully spherical view of the area surrounding the camera. Images can be rotated and panned to view everything around the photographer, including the sky above and the ground below.
Apps for the Ricoh Theta are available for iPhone 4S and 5 running iOS 6.0. Android compatibility is expected before the end of the year, the company said.
The camera includes built-in Wi-Fi to wirelessly connect to devices to send images for viewing.
The app also allows images to be pinched, swiped or rotated to edit size, shape and composition.
Ricoh said images can be uploaded to Theta360.com for sharing on social networks, such as Facebook, Twitter and Tumblr, as well as Microsoft's Photosynth.

The Desertview ProRodeo is slated to come to town on July 24, 25, and 26 at the rodeo arena in Castle Dale. For nine straight years the Desertview Pro Rodeo has grown larger and now reaches its special 10th Anniversary edition. The rodeo committee knows the success of this rodeo is due to the greatest rodeo fans and sponsors in the country. The three day event will be jam packed with cowboys and cowgirls from all over the country competing for big money purses. For the second year the Desertview Pro Rodeo is a sanctioned Dodge Rodeo. On July 24 the rodeo will end with a bang thanks to Castle Dale City and the Desertview Pro Rodeo. A huge fireworks finale will light the sky at the conclusion of the Thursday performance to celebrate Pioneer Day.
New this year is the hide race. The Desertview Pro Rodeo is looking for a few brave men and women to try their luck at the hide race. Riders will enter the ring and their partner will jump on the hide and hang on for the ride of their lives around the barrel and back out of the arena for a timed score. Event organizers hope to have at least 20 teams participate in this event so call now to reserve your spot. The entry fee is $50 per team with 100 percent pay back, plus $1,000 added money. This event is on July 24 at the Desertview Pro Rodeo which begins at 7:30 p.m. Call Emery Recreation Department at 435-381-2108 to register.
During the rodeo on Friday there will be a special surprise and the rodeo committee guarantees it is huge. But, it's a secret. Friday night is Castle Valley Ranch night at the rodeo. Each night of the rodeo will feature the wild cow milking event. Local cowboys compete for prize money and all around belt buckles for the overall champions. This is Emery County's truly extreme, unique event. Don't miss this event because you will be entertained to the max with this wild action.
The Desertview ProRodeo has attracted some local cowboys Huntington brothers Justin and Brock Truman will calf rope on Saturday. Wacey Allred of Cleveland will bull ride. Derald Riche from Helper will ride bulls. Barbara Ann West of Price will race barrels. Brock Winn of Ferron competes in saddle bronc. As always some of the top national rodeo stars will make the trip to Castle Dale. They include the likes of seven time world champion Clay O'Brien Cooper in calf roping.
The rodeo begins at 7:30 p.m. each evening under the Emery County blue skies.
Are you T.E.T.W.P.? What exactly does that mean? The Desertview ProRodeo committee wonders if you are "Tough Enough to Wear Pink." The rodeo committee wants every rodeo fan through the gate on Saturday, July 26 to show their support by wearing a pink shirt, hat, ribbon or just anything will do.
For every pink fan the rodeo will make a donation to Active Re-Entry to assist local cancer patients. The Desertview ProRodeo has partnered with "Tough Enough to Wear Pink" for the Saturday night performance.
"Tough Enough to Wear Pink" has been raising big bucks for cancer across the nation. Some of the largest rodeos in the nation have climbed on board. Many of them have raised $30,000 and more for a single event.
Wrangler is a partner in the cause and donates all of the money from the sale of pink shirts to cancer awareness.
Rodeo organizers say, "We want everyone to know that we support you in your fight against cancer. We would like to encourage all cancer survivors to come out to the Saturday night rodeo and to wear pink. This is the second year we have done this, and we want to keep this tradition alive at our Desertview ProRodeo. We love you and care about you and anything we can do to make your fight against cancer a little easier we would like to do. We would just like to look out over the crowd on Saturday night and see a sea of pink shirts, hats or whatever. We don't even care if you want to dye your hair pink for this occasion. Local businesses Pro Rehab and Magnuson Lumber, Zions Bank and Headquarters will be donating 500 Knock out Cancer towels to the first 500 rodeo fans through the gate.
Desertview Credit Union said, "We are proud to sponsor the Desertview ProRodeo for the residents of Castle Valley. This is a world class rodeo event and with the continuation of the "Tough Enough to Wear Pink" event for cancer we hope to make this rodeo even more community friendly. We hope everyone comes out to support the rodeo and this event which gives everyone a chance to make a donation for cancer and all you have to do is wear pink and the rodeo organizers will do the rest. Hope to see you at the rodeo."
Ike Sankey will provide the rodeo stock for the event. Sankey is known far and wide for his rodeo animals who know their job and perform it well. His stock is used every year at the National Rodeo Finals held each year in Las Vegas.
Come and spend a night watching the best rodeo action around. This rodeo has something for everyone and even if you don't think you're a rodeo fan, you will be after a night spent at the Desertview ProRodeo.
Also this year is a combo ticket special, good for all three nights of rodeo action at a reduced price. This special ticket deal is only available at Desertview Federal Credit Union branches in Huntington and Ferron.
Advance tickets are available at BKs Stop-n-Shop, Headquarters, Emery County Treasurers Office, Emery County Recreation, Desertview Credit Union in Huntington and Ferron, Gilly's, Food Ranch, Green River City Hall and Intermountain Farmers in Price.
Rodeo concessions will be offered each night for the hungry cowboy and cowgirl. The Desertview ProRodeo kicks off two weeks of fun and the Emery County Fair begins July 30 with a free ice cream social. Events continue July 30-Aug. 2, culminating with the huge, free Western Underground concert on Aug. 2 at 7:30 p.m.

Had a great stay in this apt. Everything went smooth, picking up the keys and finding the apt. It was clean and has everything you possibly need. Don't forget to take earplugs :) It's on the second floor, so you're right in the middle of all the sounds from the city. Been here with 4 adults and it's big enough. Location was great, subway just 3 blocks down, grocerystore around the corner... Would stay here again
I would like to have 2 sets of towels for 1 week !
Very good location and good size apartment with all the necessities for our party of 8 people. Quite a few restaurants nearby and a subway station just down the street. We had a problem with the radiators that wouldn't stop heating and one of them had a broken knob. We called the agency who were very nice and helpful and sent a man to fix it - it didn't help though... Also it was litterally painful to shower in the apartment because of the water temperature that was constantly changing between either ice cold or burning hot, and that caused us quite a bit of frustration during our stay.
Besides from that the apartment was very nice and clean and with plenty of towels and we enjoyed our stay!
The location of the apartment (Thompson Street/Houston Street) is very good, subway stations are quite nearby and there are lots of supermarkets, shops and restaurants in the neighborhood.
The flat is located on the 3rd floor which is not very convenient with luggage because there is no elevator; unfortunately it could have been cleaner.
It is a really nice apartment. Our stay there was perfect. It has room enough for 4 people and it´s very clean and comfortable. In addition, it is located in the center of Manhattan, close to the Empire State Building, Grand Central Station, Times Square and many other interesting places to visit. I loved it!
This apartment is very compact and 4 flight up (no lift). The beds and pillows are not comfortable and need to be replaced. The hot water supply to the shower is irregular and in winter having cold showers is not pleasant. I would not recommend this apartment to anyone with children or over the age of 50. The location is excellent but it does not offset the negatives.
Due to a maintenane problem with our reservation in Manhattan at apartment ref: 8329 we were transferred to another 1 bedroom apartment ref 8360 on W 45th street. The location was brilliant just off 5th avenue and the view from the apartment was amazing. We were absolutely delighted with the facilites at the CASA residence and the staff on the reception desk could not have been more helpful. We would not hesitate to book this property again on our next visit to New York and would hightly recommend it to anyone wishing to take a break to this amazing city. Mr & Mrs Ruddy (UK)
The location is excellent. In a quieter area but still very close to the hustle and bustle. The subway is just a few minutes walk. Central Park and MoMA are a short walk.
Apartment is decent size for the price. Having two bedrooms separate from living room is nice.
One downside is street noise b/c it is ground level, but we knew that going into it. Just bring some earplugs if you're a light sleeper.
The only bad thing is we discovered our last night that there were cockroaches in the kitchen.... not sure if this apartment is sprayed regularly.
Fantastic Apartment. Just what was required for our week in New York. Very clean and spacious and in a great part of the city.
Warning to everyone interested in this appartment! We whare really disappointed when one day before arrival, and I have had personally contact with David that all was ok according to arrival, we got info to change appartment 17 hours before arriving to NY. Payment was done, in good time. We got a replacement app, bot not in the same quality acc to pictures.:-(

Can't find problem. Water (electric heater) getting WAY too hot. Figured upper thermostat high temperature cutoff not working? Saw a burned connection there - got RED hot at the screw. Trying to replace thermostat, but replacement has five terminals (plus two connected by bridge on left side), old thermostat has SIX wires coming in. Nothing is connected to the bridge on old hookup, three wires to the top and three wires to the bottom. On replacement there's only two free terminals on the bottom - - where does the extra wire go? Thanks!

Virgin Blue Welcomes Federal Court Decision18/10/2006
Virgin Blue welcomed today's decision by the Federal Court to uphold the decision of the Australian Competition Tribunal (ACT) in December 2005 to declare the domestic airside service at Sydney Airport under Part IIIA of the Trade Practices Act (TPA).
In what is a landmark decision, the declaration now allows negotiations between airlines and
Sydney Airport Corporation Limited to occur with the safety net of the ACCC as independent arbitrator, should dispute resolution be required.
Virgin Blue Chief Executive, Brett Godfrey, said, "Today's decision is simply logical and encourages airlines and airports to seek mutually acceptable outcomes. Importantly it upholds fundamental economic principles and thereby restores Economics 101.
"In pursuing this outcome for four years, we were never motivated by any other principle than the right to conduct commercial negotiations with the ability to refer to an independent arbitrator, should either party act unreasonably," he said.
"We simply believe that in any industry, it is not acceptable for a monopoly supplier to be able to unilaterally impose increased fees, without appropriate negotiation.
"This was a case about our experience of pricing behaviour in the past. We are very happy in the new environment and we look forward to continuing to work with Sydney and other airports to seek win-win outcomes for both sides," he finished.

Argentina turns tables on Canada in match 2
CORONEL DORREGO, Argentina – Argentina defeated Canada 25-18, 25-11, 25-21 in international women's volleyball action on Tuesday night in match two of their series this week.
The Canadians took the first match of the series on Monday in five sets. The Canadians, ranked 24th the world, are currently tuning up for the FIVB women's world volleyball championships October 29 to November 14 in Japan. Argentina, ranked 19th, did not qualify for the worlds.
"We started off the game very well maintaining our level of play until the middle of the first set," said Canadin player Kyla Richey of Roberts Creek, B.C. "We had lapses in our passing in each of the three sets."
The Argentineans built early leads of 10-4 and 8-3 in the second and third sets respectively which Canada could not overcome.
Game three is tonight in Olavarria, Argentina. Canada is fielding a 14-member team for the tour lead by team captain Tammy Mahon of Holland, Man., Sarah Pavan of Kitchener, Ont., and Tiffany Dodds of Lucky Lake, Sask. After Argentina, the Canadians also head to Peru and Costa Rica for more matches.
