The company provides retailers with membership and subscription services.
Amy Dusto
OrderGroove Inc., which provides an Internet-hosted software platform for managing retail membership programs and product subscriptions, has raised $6.7 million in a new funding round. OrderGroove says it will use the capital to add products and services to the platform, move into new industries and hire engineering, services, sales and marketing employees.
Fung Capital USA led the funding round, which also included Lerer Ventures, Swan Ventures, Allegro Venture Partners, Bee Partners and former Walmart.com CEO Raul Vazquez, OrderGroove says.
"One of the most pressing challenges that retailers and brands face today is how to retain customers and increase lifetime value," says Fred Schaufeld, a partner at Swan Ventures. "By demystifying the complexities behind a successful subscription marketing program, OrderGroove has responded to merchants' needs of offering a convenient and customer-centric shopping experience to drive incremental revenue and profit per customer."
Within the past year, OrderGrove tripled its number of clients to more than 60 retailers, it says. Those retailers include W.W. Grainger Inc., No. 15 in the Internet Retailer Top 500 Guide; Jockey International Inc., No. 309, and NBTY Inc., No. 152, the company says.
Additionally, OrderGrove's year-over-year revenue is up 430%, it says, though it did not disclose a revenue figure.

We're obsessed with the eerie mood of this denim-hued '70s/circus inspired editorial featuring Russian beauty Natalia Vodianova, shot by by Paolo Roversi. The under-the-big-top color scheme and repeated use of stripes is a playful contrast to her somber expression. She makes candy red-and-white striped pants look chic and a pirate logo appropriate for someone over the age fourteen. Imagine that! Delicious denim is all over the place in this shoot. We'll leave it to you to pick your preferred eye candy.

Since people want to talk about sires & all, why not talk about young Holland? That pedigree is something special & his talent is off the charts.
Since people want to talk about sires & all, why not talk about young Holland? That pedigree is something special & his talent is off the charts.
I don't think any of his pups are old enough to have really shown their talent, but I'm interested to see how they turn out.
I know that I put down a live call duck on Saturday for one that my training partner has. I can say that she seems to be a wonderful pup with a bright future!
"Determining and applying the criteria for when and when not to use correction is the essence of the art of dog training. I make a distinction between a mistake and a lack of effort." - Mike Lardy - Volume I "After Collar Conditioning"
Ed, this is you chance to brag on those pups "out of" Holland!
""President Trump was a chaos candidate and apparently intends to be a chaos president. Stability, it would seem, is out the window. The White House will lie without hesitation when it serves its perceived interest." The American Conservative
i will boldy add my observations of a holland pup at an early stage:
1. he loves to retrieve, play and have fun of all sorts.
2. he is bold, never spooky or intimidated by anything.
3. he is great in the house.
4. he has never, never ever, not once ever, shat his crate!!!!!
i must add that the bitch line for my pup is "stronger than my aunt nellie's breath". the breeders also obviously did a great job with socialization! does he have "trial talent"? that is a question for the future. but he is a fine, fine puppy! he has been the most fun and easiest pup i have raised!
this was "son" at ten weeks!
john mccallie
Not bragging time yet but Trumarc's New Holland (Dutch) DOB 5/27/2013 is very smart and there isn't much not to like at 5 months old. Trumarc's Mumbo Jumbo (Jumbo) Holland X Tia is only 8 weeks old and I don't remember a puppy running so fast to get the bumper and then running so fast in the opposite direction after he gets it. Wife had to look out the window Saturday to see what I was laughing hysterically about as he hauled it past me at full speed bumper in mouth with absolutely intention of giving it up.
Colletta Bay Bit of Good Karma is a wonderful puppy as well. Bold...trainable....pleasing....athletic....very much like her Father Holland...very not like her mother Karma at this age. At 5.5 months has been a joy to socialize....early train....and enjoy. Her house manners the best of any puppy I have ever been around. I can only feel that father Holland has had an alot to do with this. She is off for her Pro training next week. Fingers crossed it all continues.
I have to agree with Ed, there is nothing not to like about mine. I will add she is an excellent swimmer and loves to retrieve. She is just a real pleasure to be around.
My fingers are crossed as well.

Sex assault on a child by a person in a position of trust is nothing new. Not in Douglas County, not anywhere else in the U.S.
However, dating back to last summer, there have been four high-profile cases making their way through the 18th Judicial District Court in Castle Rock, involving three Douglas County School District teachers and a Highlands Ranch youth pastor.
All four men in question — ranging in age from 26 to 41 — have been charged with or already pleaded guilty to some degree of inappropriate sexual contact on teenage children under their supervision and guidance.
Deputy District Attorney Chris Gallo, who specializes in cases involving crimes against children for the 18th, has been the lead prosecutor in all four cases. What may be most disturbing, he said, is that for every high-profile case, there are a dozen other cases that he prosecutes involving these types of crimes.
"We've had a ton of others where we have charged a person in a position of trust who wasn't a (leader) in the community," Gallo said. "Whether it was a neighbor, an uncle, a stepfather, this abuse happens across economic lines, across social lines."
And while there appears to be an inordinate number of these crimes surfacing in the county lately, neither Gallo, District Attorney George Brauchler, nor Douglas County Sheriff's Detective Mike Duffy sees an indication that there are more of these types of crimes per capita now than before.
"I think in part, the stigma is slowly being taken away from this," Brauchler said. He emphasized that more children who are victimized are seeing that the courts are not always going to side with the adult, and with that,more victims are feeling empowered to come forward.
"What I would hope the community takes from this," he said, "is that we fight these cases maybe a little more aggressively than some of these other communities."
Duffy, one of five detectives on the DCSO Special Victims Unit that focuses on Internet and sexual assault crimes against children, also pointed to the county's population boom as a factor in more cases turning up recently.
"Increase in population is always going to increase your numbers," he said. "The more schools you have, the more chances you have for these types of crimes occurring. It's purely statistical."
That said, Duffy agreed that this is far from a recent problem in Douglas County.
"I think that there is an increase of reporting (by victims) and an increase of attention being paid to the problem," he said. "There's been a bit of a culture change."
On average, Duffy said, the DCSO Special Victims Unit juggles anywhere from 10 to 20 cases at a time. Depending on whether the abuse is ongoing or has ceased, an investigation could take days or months to complete.
Disclosing takes time
While more victims have been coming forward in recent years, there are many still hiding in the shadows, and sometimes it can take years to speak out.
Gallo said he has encountered adults who have come forward and disclosed things that happened to them in the 1970s, people who now have children of their own, who are finally ready to talk about what they experienced 40 years ago.
"We are becoming more aware of the world we've always lived in, and that's an ugly thing," he said. "But it's better to be aware of it and try to protect people than say, 'we live in this shiny beacon of a community and no child molesters live here.' There will always be ugliness, but only when you are aware of it can you do something about it."
Knowing how to handle the situation if your child comes forward to you or someone else after being sexually assaulted is also an important thing, Duffy said.
"If you think your child has been victimized by any kind of inappropriate sexual behavior, do not handle it yourself, contact us and let us handle it," he said. "There is still a little bit of a culture out there that these cases are impossible to prosecute, but we will work very diligently to investigate the case and advocate on their behalf."
Duffy said it can be tough on parents if their children disclose to someone else, but he said it is very commonplace, especially in familial cases, that children do not want to hurt their parents by telling them.
"It can take years before a child feels comfortable coming to their parent, and that is not always a reflection of the parents," he said. "It is just a difficult thing to talk about. Even in the greatest atmosphere, it often takes time before a child is ready."
Hope for recovery?
The Colorado Sex Offender Management Board reports that as of April 1, there were 15,848 registered sex offenders in the state, 1,400 of whom are currently participating in the state's intensive supervision program.
Of those, said Colorado state probation analyst Angela Weant, 46 percent are successfully doing everything that is asked of them in their probation, and most of the probation offenses that are occurring are minor infractions.
While it is not unusual to see a repeat offender reported on in the news media or to see a first-time defendant who committed multiple offenses before being caught, Weant said in her experience the extreme majority of offenders in Colorado do not repeat. As a former probation officer who carried a caseload of 80 sex offenders, she said only once did she have someone "fall off the wagon and slip up."
"It's the ones you don't know about that are out there operating, being secretive and manipulative, that are grooming their victims to withhold information, that you have to worry about," she said. "They are premeditating their crimes for years and years.
"The ones in the system are the safer ones. There is a lot of stigma for the people that have been convicted, as well as financial burden and upheaval. A lot of them have to move because if they have kids they aren't allowed to be around them anymore."
Weant will be the first to tell you that you can't change the mindset of a sex offender overnight, and Gallo agrees.
"It's tough," he said. "You have to totally restructure the way people think. There are people constantly breaking themselves of that lifestyle and, relative to what they did, they don't need to be in prison for the rest of their lives. Yet there are others, where the gravity of what they did is so significant, you're not going to ever change that."

Terrific Cross Trainer
"Bought these trainers for my daughter to wear to the gym. She is very pleased with them. They fit her perfectly and are super light and comfortable."

Great fit and feel
"I've worn these shoes for about two weeks now in a variety of circuit and TRX classes and they are very comfortable. I usually feel pain in my arches and numbness in my toes wearing regular running shoes during these kinds of workouts, but I felt no pain or numbness at all in these cross trainers. They are wonderfully cushioned and the stretch fabric on the top of the shoe allows your feet to move without too much constraint while still feeling supported. I have wide feet and would have normally purchased a wide width, but unfortunately they were not available in the store. Even so, the regular width feels fine and as I mentioned, the stretch material allows the foot to expand comfortably. I would highly recommend these shoes!"

Big question: Why do we still have the Electoral College?
Established in 1787, the Electoral College is as old as the U.S. Constitution. Marquette Magazine asked Dr. Paul Nolette, assistant professor in the department of political science, why, after 225 years, we still use the Electoral College system to elect our president instead of the popular vote?
Turn on your favorite TV news program and you're likely to hear about how each presidential candidate is faring among "Wal-Mart Moms," "NASCAR Dads," or another critical voting group. As Americans were reminded in 2000, however, this presidential election will ultimately be decided by the 538 members of the Electoral College. Why is the Electoral College part of the Constitution? And why does it still exist today?
During the debates over the Constitution, Alexander Hamilton's defense of the Electoral College suggested that electors would bring greater wisdom to presidential selection. "A small number of persons, selected by their fellow-citizens from the general mass, will be most likely to possess the information and discernment requisite to such complicated investigations," he wrote in "Federalist #68." Several of the Constitution's framers viewed the Electoral College as a protection of state power. Individual states would send electors who would presumably prevent the election of a candidate threatening to centralize power in the federal government.
Many of the original justifications for the Electoral College have less force today. Other constitutional features meant to protect the states have since changed. The 17th Amendment, for example, shifted the selection of senators from state legislatures to popular election. The notion that electors have better deliberative capacity than the general populace is now passé, especially since electors today are partisan activists who commit themselves to a candidate well before Election Day. So why do we keep the Electoral College?
One argument is that the Electoral College ensures more attention to less populous states otherwise at risk of being ignored by presidential candidates. If people directly elected the president, candidates would focus their attention on population-rich states like California, New York and Texas rather than smaller states such as New Mexico, Nevada and Wisconsin. The problem is that under the current system, the vast majority of states are already ignored by candidates including not only most of the smallest but several of the largest as well. The lion's share of the attention goes to an increasingly small number of swing states that could realistically favor either candidate. This may be to our benefit here in the Badger State, but not so for those in Nebraska, Rhode Island or any of the 40 other non-competitive states.
Perhaps a better contemporary argument for the Electoral College is that it has a tendency to produce clear winners. This contrasts with the popular vote, which remains relatively close in nearly all presidential contests. In 2008, for example, Obama won only 53 percent of the popular vote but more than two-thirds of the electoral vote. The Electoral College, as it typically does, helped to magnify the scope of the incoming president's victory. For someone taking on the highest-profile job in the world, this additional legitimacy boost may be no small thing.
This seems to me to be a smoke and mirrors argument. The popular vote in the last few elections have been very close. Regardless of the "victory" in the Electoral College, the country is still divided, and seems to be getting even more divided with each presidential election.
My own experience shows that there is less discussion of politics among individuals. Increasingly people talk only to those who are like-minded. Anger prevents us from listening to the perspectives of others. We are entrenched in our positions and ever less willing to compromise.
I think your point is largely true, and on its own the Electoral College is certainly no panacea for deeper polarization. There is something to be said for decisiveness, however. Without the Electoral College, there's a good chance Romney still would not have conceded two days after the election. After all, there's still a few million votes left to be counted and the numbers are still relatively close. Obama's clear victory in the Electoral College put an end to that possibility. Romney's gracious concession speech at least provided some reminder of the importance of unity -- something that would have been buried under days of partisan wrangling as we continue to wait for the popular vote numbers to be finalized.
Thanks for your comment!
Individual state tallies could still be done, to reduce the impact of vote discrepancies, re-counts etc. and long delays in single states unless the vote was very close. The argument that we can't wait a few extra days, seems weak, given that the campaigning is spread out over two years, and the voting over 4 or 5 weeks.
if our president is supposed to represent the people then he should be elected by the people. What should we have next, professional juror's?

Lambert defends Bent absence
Paul Lambert insists he will "live and die" by his selection decisions after again leaving record signing Darren Bent out against Reading at Villa Park.
- Related Content
39. Darren Bent
|22 (10)
A goal from Bent's replacement up front, Christian Benteke, secured a 1-0 victory for Villa and moved them out of the Barclays Premier League bottom three.
But it was still a surprise to see £18 million England international Bent fail to make even the bench, with rookie striker Jordan Bowery preferred among the substitutes.
Lambert said: "I do rate Darren but I pick a team I always think will win. I've got 25 guys to look after. The most important thing is this club and I'll always make decisions I think are right for this club.
"I'll live and die by them. That's the nature of the beast. I'll always make an honest judgement on who I think should play but I have no problem with Darren, absolutely none."
Lambert denied there was any fall-out with Bent or that the striker had left the stadium before kick-off after his exclusion from proceedings.
Lambert said: "Darren was in the squad, it was the same on Saturday. I just picked the same group. I do what think is best for Aston Villa.
"I do rate him as a player. I've no problem with his attitude in training, none whatsoever."
Away from the ongoing intrigue over Bent, Lambert hailed the significance of Villa's third win of the season.
He said: "It was a big result because we knew the Arsenal game at the weekend would take a lot out of us.
"Reading had also played well against Wigan so knew it would be a tough game.
"But I don't know about it being a six pointer. Never look at things now, look in May."

The Crossroads of the Aether
Greetings to my fellow steampunksters! I am still new to the SP culture and I've been thinking about asking this question for quite a while now to anyone that will respond. How was it for you in the beginning to incorporate SP into your life? Is it proper to attend the SP Symposium sans costume and storyline? If you don't, will you be shamed for all to see? I have no wardrobe as of yet and I've just begun to delve into steampunk literature; I've read some SP anthologies of short stories and am currently reading Boneshaker which is pretty good so far. I welcome your insights, stories, and suggestions.
Thank you all and be blessed.

I put 100 year old photos of people I don't know on my walls, I have a 30's phone lamp, I use old wallpaper for my computer wallpaper, I have a steampunk clock on my wall... More to come!
Thanks for responding Captain Jack! I look forward to whatever else you will offer to the discussion!
I started out on accident. When I came to America I got lumped into the "goth" and "punk" scenes for many reasons (taste in music, clothing attire, being a bit morbid in my outlook because of my origins), from there though, I began incorporating things from my reenactments and performances into my daily wear because I loved them so much, and then, before I knew it, I was dressing less in bondage pants and more like someone from the Victorian era all the time. I just assumed I was still "goth" because I had no word in my English vocabulary to describe what I was doing, and I definitely didn't even know it had a proper name until a few years ago, then someone asked me "Oh, are you a Steampunker?"
I had no idea what they meant, so I asked, and they explained it the best they could. So I looked into it, and lo and behold, I was.
I'm not going to the Symposium this time around because I found out about it too late, so I'm not 100% certain what they've got planned or what they expect of the patrons of it, but my assumption is that it's like any event of the like; it's great if you can dress up and have a backstory, and it can make it very fun for you, but it's not at all necessary. Go, visit, see all the great costumes everyone else has, ask people about their own stories and see it as a whole so you can get a good vibe from it.
Sometimes stuff like this (having a costume and persona to go along with it) can take quite a hit on the pocketbook, so it's always nice to not rush into anything. I'm sure there's lots of people going to be there who can point you in the direction of good resources as well so that when you're able to pursue it further, you've got a good foothold.
I hope that helps a bit.
Shahbanoo, thanks so much for the insight. It's interesting that you used to do reenactments. You must have some amazing costumes! Like you, I was drawn to the styles of the Victorian era along with the cultural norms. I first noticed it in my rubber stamping; I liked the stamps with the "Victorian look." Thanks so much for the encouragement and the advice. If you have more, please share!
I got into Steampunk from a Victorian Goth begining too. I am new to it all but have visited other conventions. Costumes are fun but optional. Going gave me great ideas( and a little too many projects to work on). At first, I thought I would be lost at a convention, but it didn't take long to complete enjoy myself. Meeting like minded people from across the globe was wonderful. Noone seemed to mind that I was not dressed up yet everyone was more than eager to show me their costumes and answer questions (like how they got started and costruction hints).
I regret that I will miss the symposium too but can't wait to go to my first Steampunk convention. I encourage anyone who can go to do it. Just post pictures of all the fun for those of us stuck at work!
It's funny to me to see over the years just how many steampunks started out as goth. Speaking of, is anyone in California going to the Bat's Day at Disneyland? It's two of my favorite things rolled into one:
Dressing up and Disneyland.
now if only they could add Persian food in there it'd be the greatest gathering in my life.
Sounds like fun!!
What about Glitter Goths? You know, they love the music and dressing as such, but they're peppy and pleasant? ;)
Buahahaaa. Jelly-filled with a sprinkle topping. How utterly scrumptious.
Its wasn't for Glitter Goths, The entire Glitter industry would cease to exist
Oh now that's not true, what about the strippers?
Historical Nazis -- Sounds you ran into the SCA or some other such group. So did I; that is why I came to SP a year ago. I have been having fun ever since.

Pacific Blue Announces Direct Flights From Christchurch To Sydney17/12/2003
To celebrate the centenary of powered flight, Pacific Blue Airlines has announced it will add yet another direct flight to its growing network before it has even taken off.
The low fare airline, which launches on 29 January, will introduce direct flights from Christchurch to Sydney from 10 March, to complement the soon-to-be launched flights from Christchurch to Brisbane and Melbourne. The addition of the Sydney flight to the Pacific Blue route network now means 3 daily flights to Australia from the South Island.
A special "wow" launch fare is now available with $99* seats up for grabs and on sale from now until 25 December 2003, for travel between 10 March to 30 November 2004.
Once the sale fare is over, low fares will continue with Mid-Week Mini-Fares available for $149* one-way on the net. Pacific Blue's Fully Flexible fare will be $399* one-way, 42% cheaper than the competition.
Pacific Blue Chief Executive, Tony Marks said, "To once again prove we are serious about providing low fares, we have a special launch sale fare of only NZ $99* one way between Christchurch and Sydney with thousands of seats available."
He added, "We are confident that travelling on Pacific Blue will be an enjoyable and exciting experience and we want as many people as possible to enjoy the great service."
CEO of Christchurch and Canterbury Marketing Ian Bougen said, "This is great news for Christchurch and for the South Island and will prove especially beneficial in terms of additional capacity during peak demand periods."
Ian Bougen added, "This is also fantastic news for the convention and incentive industry in the Canterbury region. The convention market out of Australia is currently worth just over $3 million to us and this is only 10% of the total convention market.
The potential to grow this market is, therefore, enormous and Pacific Blue's daily service from Sydney will definitely help us increase this."
Meanwhile, Pacific Blue has also announced a daily Wellington to Sydney service. The $99* fare is available for both the Christchurch and Wellington flights to Sydney and is on sale from today until 25 December and is for travel until from 10 March until 30 November 2004.
*As per industry practice all fares in New Zealand are shown in NZ$ and exclude taxes and charges
* Seats are limited and may not be available on all flights or peak days. Fares are quoted ex-New Zealand, one way on the net ($10 more by phone). Fares are exclusive of government departure tax, airport passenger service charge of $20.20 and security levy of $6.85. Prices & charges are in NZD. International flights commencing January 2004 subject to receipt of Government approvals. Mid-Week-Mini-Fares are available for travel on Tuesdays & Wednesdays and are subject to availability.
Due to day light savings the timings may vary at certain periods of the year. Timings also may vary on weekends
This schedule represents the ideal Sydney business day for the Christchurch traveller.

The Vow Factor
Media moguls, business titans, tech entrepreneurs, and government bigwigs once again descended on the small town of Sun Valley, Idaho, for the annual Allen & Company Conference, now in its 30th year. This summer's convergence of notable attendees included Warren Buffett, Bill Gates, Jeff Bezos, and Jerry Yang, as well as the Murdoch clan: Rupert, Wendi, Lachlan, and James. The program focused on international affairs, with a panel on Iran and Israel featuring the Washington Post's David Ignatius; Tom Brokaw moderating a discussion on China; and Charlie Rose interviewing Italian prime minister Mario Monti. There was also plenty of election-year politics in the mix, and the buzz coming out of the conference was that President Obama could be losing ground with this particular tax bracket.

By GARY ARRINGTONSports Writer
The promising basketball season for the young Lady Pirates came to an abrupt end at the Region 16 tournament at Emery High School in Castle Dale last week. On Thursday, Green River lost to Manila High School 58-50 and then lost to Altamont 43-36 to end their season.
Against Manila, Green River took the early lead before seeing the game slip away from them in the second half. The Pirates led after the first quarter 12-10 and then increased the lead in the second period to lead at the half 28-21.
The Mustangs then outscored Green River in each of the next quarters to claim the win. They outscored the Pirates 17-10 in the third quarter and 20-12 in the final quarter.
Green River scorers were Ciji Vetere with 15 points, Adriana Cordova with 9 points, Whitney Bigelow with 8 points, Charley Vetere, Heidi Vetere and McKenzie Spadafora with 4 points each and Leah Swalberg and Andrea Thornton-Silliman with a point each.
Green River got off to a slow start against Altamont and just could never catch up to snatch a must win victory to stay alive.
Altamont outscored Green River 12-4 in the opening quarter and 9-8 in the second quarter to lead at the half 21-12. Green River won the third period by 4 points but were outscored by 2 points in the fourth quarter to see their state playoff hopes slip away.
Heidi Vetere was the leading scorer with 14 points. Cordova scored 6 points, Ciji Vetere and Bigelow scored 5 each, Charley Vetere scored 4 points and Spadafora scored 2 points.
The Pirates finish the season with a 13-6 record and 4-4 in region play.

The Vaughn GX1 Pro Goal Skate is the first skate from Vaughn to hit the market, and as expected from a company specializing in goaltending gear, it has excellent goalie specific designs and expert craftsmanship. With features like an anatomically correct boot design and customizable cowling, this skate will fit the needs of any goaltender.
The GX1 Pro goal skate brings in a boot design that is specifically tailored to fit the needs of goaltenders. The forward pitch boot puts the goaltender in an anatomically correct body position that allows the explosive movements needed to perform. The wider toe cap keeps the inner edge and toes from being distorted, and the taller side ankle supports create complete wrap around coverage and a secure fit. The outsole is made of full carbon fiber, giving the ultimate boot strength to allow explosive pushes without blade twisting. The toe cap is designed with thicker construction in the high impact areas for added protection from hard shots.
The cowling on the GX1 Pro goal skate has two trim lines that can be be used to reduce the size of the cowling and decrease its weight for goaltenders that do not want extra coverage on the inner areas of the foot. The inner portion of the cowling has an angled bevel resting spot, which is designed to allow for a more aggressive attack angle with the skate without slipping. The rear support post of the skate where the bottom leg strap goes through has been angled to provide a more ergonomically correct strapping that keeps the pad more secure and reduces wear on the strap. The blade is a 4mm stainless steel construction and has three attachment points to reduce blade flex and prevent catastrophic blade failures.
The Vaughn GX1 Pro goal skate is a professional level skate that uses its intuitive goalie specific design to produce a comfortable skate that performs at the highest level. The GX1 has an extremely low price tag for a pro skate, making this is a no brainer for any goalie that values saving their feet and their wallet a lot of pain.

The finances of the U.S. Postal Service are deeply in the red. The agency faces a permanently reduced demand for its services and its labor accounts for almost 80 percent of its costs. Thus it is not a good time for postal employees to get an increase in wages and benefits, right?
Tad DeHaven
HUD Getting Defensive
The administration underestimated the magnitude of the economic imbalances that spawned the recession, and overestimated the government's ability to quickly right the ship. Despite the Obama administration's massive economic interventions, unemployment remains high and the economy is still sluggish. The administration has been defending itself by claiming that its actions prevented a worse recession or even a depression.
Federal Flood Insurance Folly
The National Flood Insurance Program was created in 1968 to allow flood-prone communities to purchase insurance protection from the government. Overseen by the Federal Emergency Management Agency, the program was supposed to alleviate the need for emergency federal aid. Instead, communities still receive emergency aid in addition to insurance payments.
Business Subsidies in Alaska
Alaska's Juneau Empire recently examined the state's Manufacturing Extension Partnership and found that its claims of success aren't backed by reality. MEPs are a nationwide network of centers that provide technical and managerial assistance to small and medium-sized firms. Federal funds from the Department of Commerce pay for one-third of the costs of MEP centers, with the balance of costs being paid by state and local governments and the private sector.
MMS Captured by Industry
Regulatory "capture" occurs when a government entity tasked with protecting the public's interest instead protects the industry is it supposed to regulate. The latest example is the Interior Department's Minerals Management Service. The MMS was created in 1982 to regulate the oil and gas industry and collect royalties on the resources extracted from federally leased land and waters.
Government's Economic Distortions
A couple of weeks ago, David Boaz discussed the Old Testament story in which the people of Israel ask Samuel for a king to rule over them. God's instructions to Samuel can be summed up as "tell them to be careful of what you wish for." David brought up the passage in the context of civil liberties, but the story's lesson also applies to economic liberties.
Biden's Fatal Conceit
The White House's misbegotten "Summer of Recovery" continued today with the release of another administration "analysis" that purportedly demonstrates the stimulus's success in "transforming" the economy.
States Shy From HSR Money
The president's stimulus package contained an $8 billion downpayment on a national system of high-speed rail. The money came with no state matching requirements, which generated state applications totaling $102 billion. When Congress added a 20 percent state matching requirement to an additional $2.3 billion for high-speed rails grants in this year's budget, state applications only totaled $8.5 billion.
FHA Insures Luxury Condos
The Treasury Department and Department of Housing and Urban Development held a high-profile conference this week on the "Future of Mortgage Finance." The federal government is currently backing more than 90 percent of new mortgages through Fannie Mae, Freddie Mac, and the Federal Housing Administration.

The Emery County Domestic Violence Coalition presented its annual domestic violence awareness luncheon on Oct. 4. The guest speaker was Lou Mueller from Utah State University, San Juan Campus.
Three women each day lose their lives to domestic violence. Children suffer from the affects of domestic violence.
The group observed a moment of silence in memory of those victims of domestic violence.
Mueller was introduced by Debbie Thornton from the coalition. Mueller said, "I am thrilled to be here. My husband Phil accompanied me. I was a victim of abuse when I was 21 years old. It was from my first husband, not Phil. At college, I met a guy, he was confident and smooth. My first husband was well liked, articulate, educated and very violent."
Mueller explained how she had blocked out those years of abuse and a history her mother had written which included those years was very emotional for Mueller as she relived those experiences reading her mother's history.
She only knew her husband three months when he asked her if she would run away with him and be married. He wanted to leave that very night and she remembers driving to Elko, Nev. in a blizzard. She said on the way out there she kept asking herself what was she doing, but she was too wimpy to back out. It was one of the worst days of her life. She spent five years in that relationship. She explained away her bruises. One time she told her mother she ran into a clothesline.
One day her mother showed up at her house which was unusual because they didn't visit often. She told Mueller that the family knew she was being hurt and they wanted her to leave her husband. Her dad had bought her a car and one day when she was home alone she took her young son and took her plants and left everything else behind. She didn't know if she would be welcome at home. She stopped at a phone booth and asked her mom if it was OK for her to come home. Her mother said, 'Of course, it's OK.' There was no remorse on her husband's part.
Victims of domestic violence don't usually make a clean break the first time. "One time he ran off to California with one of my friends and was gone for a few days. I told the friend she could have him. He didn't beg me to come back when I left. I was blessed to have a family to go to. Some people don't have anyone to turn to. Be a resource, be a safe place for these victims to turn. I am speaking from experience. Most victims of domestic violence don't want to talk about it, they are ashamed. I needed my mom to tell me to get out. Getting out saved my life," said Mueller.
She told of the program she teaches young people, that helps to identify relationship problems and to avoid falling for someone who is a jerk or jerkette. Mueller was divorced for six years when she met her husband Phil. Don't rush a relationship she cautioned. Take your time and really get to know someone and spend time with them, that is the only way you can get to know them is by spending a lot of time with them. There are some people today who get married based on an internet relationship with someone they haven't spent any time with.
"That's dangerous. Take your time. Research shows it takes at least 90 days for someone's true colors to come out. Prior to that they can fake it. They can only put up a front for so long," she said.
Trust is something that must be earned in a relationship. Mueller said being in an abusive relationship made it hard for her to trust again. "You're wounded, you're not healthy. You need to be healthy yourself before you can be in a healthy relationship. Trust is earned when we do what we say we're going to do and we are honest. Expectations either build or destroy trust. When expectations are met or exceeded, your trust impression improves. When expectations are not met, trust is not earned and your relationship is moving in the wrong directions. You must strengthen yourself before you are able to help others. I wanted fidelity and honesty in a relationship. The third step is rely, you must establish trust before you can rely on another person."
Mueller told of Maslow's hierarchy of human needs. Physiological needs must be met first like breathing, food, water, shelter, clothing and sleep. Safety and security come next, including health, employment, property, family and social stability. After those needs are met, love and belonging which includes friendship, family, intimacy, sense of connection. Those factors being in place self-esteem comes next where a person is confident, realizes achievement and has respect for others. Self-actualization is next including morality, creativity, spontaneity and acceptance of yourself and others.
Good ingredients for a healthy relationship include, honesty, kindness, respect, humor and caring.
"My abusive relationship taught me what I wanted in a healthy relationship. Be committed to your spouse. Relationships with other people of the opposite sex could come between you and your spouse and it's not healthy. "Commitment doesn't walk away when things get tough. I can't imagine that," said Mueller. Phil has been sick and Mueller was there for him. She said if she was the one who was sick, she knows he would take care of her.
"When you get into a healthy relationship you don't move from one level to the next level until you complete all the steps involved including know, trust, rely, commit and touch." Commitment means making sacrifices, being true to each other. Putting someone else first and accepting responsibility. Take one step at a time and do not be in a hurry. Build a solid foundation before the relationship gets physical. Sexual activity clouds reality. If you bypass knowing someone, trusting someone, relying and being committed to someone, you are just friends with benefits.
Mueller's neighbor lady during her years in an abusive relationship told her to get out, and no earthly possession is worth your life. Worldly things do not matter. Mueller said it is so important to have healthy relationships because research shows married couples have better health, better sex, live longer lives, have greater financial security and greater happiness and happier children.
Pres. Barack Obama said, "During National Domestic Violence Awareness Month, we stand with all those who have been affected by this terrible crime, recognize the individuals and groups who have stepped forward to break the cycle of violence, and recommit to putting an end to domestic violence in America."
The coaltion served a pizza lunch to those in attendance and gave away several door prizes. Call 381-4743 with any questions about domestic violence and the help that's available.

It's sad to see that the coverage of these closures did not reflect the outrage and public opinion of these closures. When there was a public meeting on the closure of this site more than a year ago, all of the people in attendance were against the closures. There was no need. Your county commisioners as well as Ray Petersen, all voiced their opinions that the tunnels be left alone. Unfortunately, as is the usual MO of the DOGM, they waited for the dust to settle and then came in and did what they wanted to anyway. They have made it obvious that they do not care what the city or the county wants.
We have been working against these closures so it's disheartening to see such a glib and happy article about the destruction of a site that was like no other in all the world.

Conference Information
|Full Title:
|Workshop on the Languages of Melanesia
|Canberra, ACT, Australia
|Start Date:
|24-May-2013 - 26-May-2013
|Christian Döhler
|Meeting Email:

|Meeting URL:
|Meeting Description:
|The workshop on the Languages of Melanesia is organised by the department of Linguistics at the Australian National University (School of Culture, History and Language) and will be held at the Kioloa Coastal Campus on the New South Wales coast.
Keynote Speakers:
Ger Reesink (Radboud University & MPI, Nijmegen)
Glenn Summerhayes (University of Otago, Dunedin)
Melanesia is the most linguistically diverse part of the world with more than 1200 languages spoken on the island of New Guinea alone (Foley 2000). Despite this diversity, it makes sense to isolate Melanesia as a unit for analysis owing to the many cross-cutting directions of influence between the languages of the region. For this reason we welcome research both on the various Papuan languages, and on Austronesian languages of the Melanesian region.
Although studies on languages spoken in Melanesia have been on the increase, the linguistic area remains under-described. Following on the four previous workshops on Papuan/Melanesian languages organised at the University of Sydney (2006 & 2008) and at ANU (2010 & 2012), this workshop aims at gathering scholars from various generations to foster a sense of community. It will be informal, focusing on daring and exploratory work rather than published outcomes.
The workshop will include a special session on Trans-New Guinea languages and on the languages of Southern New Guinea as well as keynote on archaeological issues by Glenn Summerhayes.
During the weekend, presentations and discussions will alternate with chances to swim in the Pacific and go on bushwalks in the surrounding rainforest.
Costs will be kept to a minimum (there is no conference fee) and transport will be arranged from Canberra on 24 May and back to Canberra on the afternoon of 26 May.

OWINGS MILLS, Md. – Joe Flacco takes issue with the notion that winning a Super Bowl MVP factored heavily in his new $120.6 million contract, the most lucrative in NFL history.
Said the Ravens quarterback, upon signing his six-year contract Monday afternoon: "I'm worth what I'm worth."
He added: "I think I bring to the table what I bring to the table. The fact that we won the Super Bowl just comes with that. If we didn't win the Super Bowl this year, I still think I'm worth the same. It may not be seen that way, but that's the bottom line. I think I give this team the best chance to win moving forward, whether we won or lost."
TAGGED: Dolphins franchise DT Randy Starks
Flacco's salary-cap-friendly pact (at least in the first three years) guarantees him $52 million, a year after he turned down the Ravens' bid to re-sign him at a lower price.
"I thought I was worth more," said Flacco, who added that he didn't once sit at the bargaining table with agent Joe Linta as the team approached the Monday deadline to apply the franchise tag. "And I didn't really see any circumstances where I wouldn't end up getting paid more than what they were willing to give me at that point.
DEJA VU: Cowboys franchise Spencer again
"It was never necessarily about the money but it was about earning that respect and feeling like I was respected around here."
Flacco passed for 22 touchdowns and 10 interceptions during the 2012 regular season and owned the league's 12th-highest passer rating (87.7). However, he was the only starting quarterback to avoid throwing an interception in the 2012 playoffs.
Typically reserved in the face of the media, Flacco opened up and shared a few laughs with reporters Monday at team headquarters. He said he was eating pizza at his uncle's house when news of the deal broke, and he was hoping the contract would get done the previous week, when he and friends Dennis Pitta and Todd Heap were vacationing in Las Vegas.
"That's a pretty good place to celebrate," he said.
Flacco said he hopes his contract allows the Ravens to retain some of the pieces of their Super Bowl run, even the running backs who have hit him up for gifts. Defensive players Paul Kruger and Dannell Ellerbe are up for new deals, along with restricted free agents Art Jones, Pitta and Ed Dickson.
"Guys are pretty pumped up about it," Flacco said. "It's pretty cool to just see how people have reacted and all my teammates have reacted. It's funny some of the things the guys think about, especially the running backs. Those guys are definitely always thinking about themselves and what kind of good gifts and cars and all that stuff they can get."
So what will he do with the money?
For now, just dinner with friends and family Monday night.
"I'm just gonna look at it and be able to smile a little bit," he said. "I don't have any immediate plans."

Always store chocolate in a dry, dark place at a temperature of 12°C to 16°C. So: never in the fridge. Also avoid temperature shocks of more than 10°C: your chocolate might develop a white sheen. This does not affect the taste, but admit it: a dark, shiny and good looking praline or chocolate bar looks far more tempting.
Never store chocolate alongside strong-smelling foodstuffs. Chocolate absorbs odors very easily and this could affect the sublime taste of your favorite treat.
The best temperature to consume chocolate is at 18°C to
21°C. At this temperature, chocolate remains crunchy, yet is ready
to fully release all of its flavors and aromas in your mouth. So
always give chocolate the time to acclimatize from its storing
temperature to room temperature.
Quality cocoa, dark and milk chocolate have a long shelf life by nature. The cocoa polyphenols naturally present help to protect dark and milk chocolate from oxidation for long periods. They are natural preservatives.

Comments: This is a very comfortable and lightweight shoe. The upper is great. The sole is soft and flexible, it reminds me of nike frees, but with some "support". It doesn't seem like the shoe will hold up past ~350 miles. I've got a 100 miles on them now and they still feel good. All in all, a good buy.
From: Tyler, USA. July 12th 2014
Comments: Got this shoe to complement my NB1260v3's. Like the light weight,ample cushioning,heel drop,color and fit of the shoes. I have "B" width feet, pronate moderately and run about 25-30 miles a week. These definitely run narrow for a "D" width. Heel fit is great-no slip! I also have a flat arch, but feel that these shoes give me good support on the medial side. Will probably use for shorter/tempo runs.
From: Mac. New Orleans, LA. 3/17/14
Comments: I've been a runner for over four decades, so I have a bit of experience with running shoes. Now that I run "midfoot style," I've had to select midfoot running shoes. So when the Vibram Five Fingers or the NB Minimus offer too LITTLE support, go up a bit to the N.B. 870...it's perfect! I used the N.B. 890 for a while and I like the 870 slightly more, probably because of the support for the mild pronator. I've done repeat miles in this shoe and it's just fine, although for speedwork, I prefer the awesome N.B. 1400. So yes, this is an endorsement.

FGD: Sweet Home Chicago
Ryan Pike
March 26 2013 01:47PM
The Calgary Flames hit the ice for their 31st game of the 2013 season tonight. They'll try to get the road monkey off their back as they visit the Chicago Blackhawks, and one way or the other, history will be made.
If the Flames win, it'd be their first victory in Chicago since March 16, 2008 (yes, five years) and push the Blackhawks to their first three-game losing skid of the year. If the Flames lose, it'll extend their road winless streak to ten games and bring them a step closer to their franchise record 1973 13-game road winless mark. And a game closer to formal playoff elimination, of course.
The puck drops at 6:30pm on Sportsnet 960 The Fan and Sportsnet West.
The Flames crept to within two games of the lofty perch of .500 hockey on Sunday with a gutsy 3-2 win over St. Louis. Jaroslav Halak was okayish and Miikka Kiprusoff was excellent, and that was the difference.
Expect a very similar line-up in Chicago, with perhaps a tweak on defense. Here are some probable lines.
- Tanguay-Cammalleri-Iginla
- Glencross-Stajan-Stempniak
- Hudler-Backlund-Cervenka
- Comeau-Begin-Jackman
- Brodie-Bouwmeester
- Giordano-Wideman
- Butler-Sarich
- Kiprusoff
The Backlund trio was getting the majority of the defensive zone starts against the Blues, showing that the coaching staff has some faith in Backlund (and the Czechs) ability to gain some ground. Either that or they wanted to give the Iginla line as much high ground as they could. Either way, it worked (in the sense that the Flames won the game).
With Chicago hosting Los Angeles on Monday night, Tuesday's game is the tenth time this year that the Flames will play a team that played the night before. In nine previous outings in such a situation, the Flames have gone 6-2-1.
The Blackhawks were once mighty – and let's not forget that if not for some bad luck, the Flames had them beat back at the beginning of the season – but lately they've had some bad luck. They boast a scary 24-4-3 record, but they've gone 3-4-0 in their last seven outings, including back-to-back losses to Anaheim and Los Angeles.
They played last night (marking the eleventy-billionth time the Flames have seen a tired opponent on the second night of a B2B) and had no formal skate today, with only the injured Sharp and the previously-scratched Carcillo, Hossa and Brookbank skating this morning. That makes me believe that they'll dress a similar line-up as last night's.
- Saad-Toews-Frolik
- Hayes-Bolland-Kane
- Stalberg-Shaw-Bickell
- Mayers-Kruger-Bollig
- Keith-Seabrook
- Hjalmarsson-Oduya
- Leddy-Rozsival
- Emery
Michael Frolik was elevated from his typical 3rd/4th line slot and managed two goals and and an assist in the loss to the Kings last night. He is a favorite Flames target of Kent's, so keep an eye on him tonight.
Corey Crawford started last night and gave up five goals, so it should be Ray Emery in net. Crawford has a .933 even-strength save percentage while Emery "lags" behind him with a .927. These numbers are likely going to gradually drift down to Earth a bit, but they're a big source of the Hawks' success this season.
The Blackhawks have good depth – that defensive group looks great – and has a good sprinkling of youth throughout their line-up. That said, they'll be smarting and tired from back-to-back games, so it's up to the Flames to take advantage.
The clock is ticking on the Flames playoff hopes (a 6.5% chance, according to Sports Club Stats) and for them to have any chance of success, they need to win games (a) on the road and (b) in buildings where they have struggled and (c) almost all of the games left anyways.
No better place to start than in sweet home Chicago.
FN Viewing Party at TK - Iginla's Final Game?
Next Monday (April 1) FlamesNation will host a Flames Game Viewing Party at the Tilted Kilt. It's April Fool's Day, the Battle of Alberta and potentially Jarome Iginla's last game as a Calgary Flame all rolled into one.
If that's not enough reasons to come out and have a few pops while watching the game, TK is also giving away a Flames jersey during the night and will have their usual "puck contest"going, with free beers as the prizes. On top of all that, they'll have 20oz pints of Canadian and Coors on for $5.50 all night long.
So bring the friends and family next Monday to the Tilted Kilt and help us celebrate another Flames win over the Oilers. And maybe Jarome's last night as a Calgary Flame to boot.

Oh look, another PP for Chicago.
Tripping, interference and hi-sticking lazy and dumb penalties.
Flames had powerplays in the third period.
Chris, time for you to beat on a new drum - blame the refs is old and boring and your 'excuse" EVERY night.
March 26 2013, 09:57PM
How about the Golf Channel follow around Iginla, Bouwmeester, Cammalleri et al. in their typical off season ritual...one might actually see them exude some interest and passion in what they are doing.

Actually, it's NOT my excuse every night. Have you seen every single one of my postings following a Flames loss? I must always be blaming the refs every time that Calgary loses right because that must be why they are losing! I am on FN because the Flames are and will always be my team, winning or losing, making or not making the playoffs and I get angry and pissed when things are going bad. Blaming the refs has always been an excuse for coaches and fans, for when your team is going bad, and things are out of control right now for this organization, but I don't appreciate you calling me out saying that this is my excuse for every loss.

Great-thickened My EyelashessI hv been using this for over a yr...for some reason when i first tried it..i didn't see any differences and started getting eyelash extensions...but after the extensions..my eyelashes started falling off like crazzzy...so i had to use some sort of eyelash growth/enhance thing. I started using this eye-lite again...and in about a month or two..? i noticed that my bottom lashes started growing ALOT well like 1mm/2mm? i didn't measure it..but i didnt have any bottom eyelashes b4..but i do now....and for my top eyelashes...the growth didn't seem as great...but it did thicken my eyelashes..tehres more volume now...overall i would say this worked for meMar 11, 2010Amanda

Great Product!I noticed that my lashes aren't falling out like they used to. They've gotten slightly darker and a teeny bit longer, but I'm bad about using things like this consistently, so I'm sure if I used it more, it'd be even better!Jan 17, 2010Michelle / Abbeville, LA

Noticable DifferenceI am a proclaimed beauty product junkie and so it is needless to say I scurry around different websites searching for the best of anything and everything without the actual need. I have very pretty eye lashes, yet, seeing the customer reviews not only overwhelmed me, but drew me in completely. I honestly don't like to believe everything I see or hear, as I am a natural skeptic, but I do my research completely to confirm whether or not the product would be worth my time and money. Besides, who wouldn't want longer and prettier lashes to emphasize one's eyes. Now, to the main point. My first day, the application was easy and painless. It looks precisely as pictured and easy to use. During my third application, I began seeing new eye lash growth, but I kept myself from writing a review then because I didn't want to seem so unrealistic in a sense. I kept thinking to myself, 'results in 3 days?' By the end of the week, I really could see eye lash grow spurts, and hence, they were fuller. I have also noted growth, and if it weren't for the little eye lashes close by my nose, I probably wouldn't have been completely convinced. The upper eye lashes, closest to the nose were noticeably longer. It was incredible! I'm very VERY satisfied with the results of this product. On the other hand, I wonder whether the results caused by this product will only continue to produce fabulous lashes upon continuous use, or whether these are long lasting effects. Though I do realize that as one ages, the body also changes, but other than this (natural skepticism in me) I am both surprised and pleased by Mavala Double Lash.Nov 30, 2009Crystal / New York, NY

Surprisingly Works!I am skeptical of many beauty products, claiming to do amazing things, such as making my thin, short eyelashes thicker. Well, let me tell you, I heard of this product in the Sky Mall magazine, my Ipod had died so I was flipping through the ridiculous products and useless things for sale in the Sky Mall catalog. Mavala Double Lash was one of them. I bought it from Sky Mall but with shipping it came out to $ 45! They were charing $35 for it, and FOLICA.COM is only charging $ 16.50 Not only did I see a difference in about a month in thickness and length, it is cheaper from here than Sky Mall. I only use La Mer on my face for skin care, and Dior and Chanel for cosmetics, But this eyelash stuff will be thrown into my nightly/daily routine!Sep 13, 2009Larissa

Awesome!!!!To start off with, my lashes were in pretty good shape prior to me using Double Lash, I have always just loved the way full, thick, dark lashes look, thus I gave this a try. I am very impressed with the results, this product actually delivers everything it promises! It definitely took a while for me to notice any change in the lenght, but now it just seems like they just keep growing! Plus new ones have sprouted, some in unsual spots, but hey more lashes, Im happy:)May 29, 2009Bella / SFV, California

Seeing Some GrowthI have always had short eye lashes, as I have aged they have also become thin (not a good combination). I have been using this product for about 4 weeks now and I am seeing growth!!!! The funny thing is that my eye lashes are becoming longer in a very light color (my eye lashes have always been black) - however I am okay with it because I use mascara during the day, now with longer lashes. For me it did not happen over night, so I say "hang on" and I think you will see results.May 12, 2009Marlyce / Washington
