A city defined
Hard-hit areas like Detroit could enjoy real recovery if emphasis shifted to an export economy
AMID THE animated rodents, smushed test-babies, snack-food perversions, and crude humor of Sunday's Super Bowl ads was a powerful, two-minute homage to Detroit, America's most abject city. Over a pulsating soundtrack of Eminem's "Lose Yourself,'' viewers were treated to panning shots of some of Detroit's lovingly restored landmarks from the days when the auto industry made it the richest city in the United States. Today it is the poorest, with a 36 percent poverty rate.
Far from avoiding its grim, rust belt image, the ad — ostensibly to introduce a new Chrysler luxury sedan — celebrated the city's guts-and-grit industrial base, its smokestacks, its hard times. "It's the hottest fires that make the hardest steel,'' the narrator intoned.
It was a goosebump moment for sure. But it will take more than an appeal to regional pride to save Detroit, home to 80,000 abandoned buildings and an unemployment rate of 29 percent. It will take a national urban policy the likes of which the United States hasn't seen for 40 years.
Detroit is only the starkest symptom of decades of wholesale disinvestment in the nation's older urban centers. The same conditions obtain on a smaller scale from Trenton to Buffalo to Lawrence. "If you don't have a platform of national policy you're really sailing against the wind,'' said Bruce Katz, vice president and director of the Metropolitan Policy program at the Brookings Institution.
But Katz would broaden the lens to include a new economic plan for the whole nation. For too long, he says, America's economic policy has focused on consumption, home ownership, and the financial industry. What if the emphasis — and the subsidies — were shifted to support an export economy, with a strategy that links manufacturing to the new products invented in the nation's universities and idea labs? Not only the cities would benefit.
Barry Bluestone, dean of public policy and urban affairs at Northeastern University, grew up in Detroit. He believes that compact cities, with their smaller eco-footprint, offer a particular advantage to a greener future. "If we had an urban policy that was a smart-growth policy, we might see some of these cities resurrected,'' he said. As it is, many depressed cities are no longer dense, but blighted with vast tracts of foreclosed housing or vacant land. They need to be radically re-zoned around a smaller core.
Other prerequisites for comeback cities:
■ A deeply committed business and political elite. Pittsburgh, hit earlier than many cities by de-industrialization, has retooled and diversified, thanks to smart political leadership and major philanthropic investment from the Heinz family.
■ The foresight to recognize that demographics is destiny. As Bluestone notes, something like 8,000 Americans are turning 65 every day. Cities can be attractive to retiring baby boomers looking for culture, convenience, and community. "We converted the entire US economy around kids in the early boom years,'' said Bluestone, pointing to the rise of suburbs, the "family car,'' even Disneyland. Now is a good time for a re-conversion.
■ Immigration reform. Every American city has benefitted from the energy and hard work of striving newcomers. The current hostility and suspicion greeting even legal immigrants will not help the United States become, as Katz puts it, "the nation of choice for high-skilled workers.'' Right now, that's more likely to be Canada.
■ Investment. Many older cities have "good bones,'' including cultural institutions, public transit, parks, and waterfronts. But a crime rate like Detroit's or Camden's is enough to fend off the most avid urban pioneer. Unfortunately, President Obama is telegraphing that his budget will cut Community Service Block Grants, targeted to urban areas, by 50 percent.
Rather than concentrating help for cities in "policy ghettoes'' that are too easily dismissed or cut, a more expansive economic retooling like the one Katz envisions may be the more pragmatic approach.
Government tweaking can only go so far; what really makes cities thrive are the people. The urban activist Jane Jacobs had it right when she wrote about "the exuberant diversity in a city's streets,'' the many small, casual encounters that provide delightful friction, "eyes on the street,'' and social glue. People are still drawn to each other. Bleak as the present may seem, Detroit and other depressed cities already contain the seeds of their revival.

In a marathon afternoon game that ended in early evening, the A's knocked off the Yankees 3-2 in 18 innings at the Coliseum on Thursday.
Nate Freiman hit a soft line drive to left off Mariano Rivera to bring home John Jaso with the winning run.
Jaso got the rally started with a one-out single off loser Preston Claiborne. Rivera, who got honored before the game, replaced Claiborne. Seth Smith's bloop single to left moved Jaso to third. The Yankees then intentionally walked Jed Lowrie to get to Freiman.
Freiman's single set off a celebration and got him the obligatory pie in the face from Josh Reddick.
Jesse Chavez pitched 5-2/3 innings of scoreless relief for the win.
The A's sweep the series from the Yankees and extend their home winning streak to 11 games. The game lasted 5 hours, 35 minutes.
It's Oakland's second marathon win this season. The A's beat the Angels 10-8 in 19 innings in a game that began April 29 and ended April 30.
On Thursday, the A's appeared to have the game won in the 15th. With Brandon Moss at second and Reddick at first, pinch-hitter Coco Crisp flipped a single to left.
Vernon Wells charged the ball and made an excellent throw to the plate. Moss barreled into Chris Stewart, and the former Giants catcher absorbed the brunt of the collision but held onto the ball.
Adam Warren fanned Adam Rosales to send the game to the 16th.
Brett Gardner had opened the 11th by dropping down a bunt. Jerry Blevins, just into the game, fielded the ball cleanly and had time to get Gardner at first. However, Rosales – who had pinch-hit in the 10th – was late getting to the bag from his second-base position.
Blevins hesitated, then threw low. The ball caromed off Gardner and bounced into short right field. He made it to second on what was ruled a single and an error on Blevins.
After Jayson Nix sacrificed Gardner to third, the A's intentionally walked Robinson Cano. Blevins followed that by hitting Mark Teixeira with a pitch to load the bases.
Blevins wriggled off the hook. He struck out Travis Hafner (swinging) and Kevin Youkilis (looking) to keep the game tied.
Pat Neshek stranded two runners in the 12th by striking out Jayson Nix. Chavez replaced Hideki Okajima with two on and one out in the 13th. Chavez kept the game tied by fanning Youkilis and Wells.
The Yankees loaded the bases with two outs in the 14th. Chavez preserved the tie that time by inducing Teixeira to pop to short.
The A's had wasted an opportunity in the ninth.
John Jaso began the inning by singling off reliever David Robertson. After Seth Smith struck out, Jed Lowrie blooped a base hit to left, and Jaso motored to third.
Robertson escaped the jam by striking out Josh Donaldson and Brandon Moss.
Gardner stung the first pitch of the game down the right-field line for a double. With one out, Cano jumped on a Jarrod Parker offering and deposited it over the wall in right-center.
Home run No. 16 this season for the Yankees' second baseman put New York on top 2-0.
The A's tied it in the third. Derek Norris' RBI groundout cut the A's deficit to 2-1. With two outs and Jaso at first, Smith drilled a double off the right-field wall.
The relay from Ichiro Suzuki to Cano to Stewart was in plenty of time to cut down Jaso at the plate, but umpire CB Bucknor correctly noticed Stewart used his glove to tag Jaso, but had the ball in his hand. It was 2-2.
It would stay that way until the 18th.
Parker was in command after Cano's homer in the first. Parker tied his career high by going eight innings. The right-hander held the Yankees to five hits. He struck out two and walked two.
Hiroki Kuroda pitched even better than Parker did. Kuroda held the A's to two hits in eight innings. He retired the final 16 hitters he faced.

Another summer Tuesday has arrived which means it's time for Tell All Tuesday! We are loving this linky party hosted by Teach Talk Inspire and My Day In K and are having a fun time sharing with y'all this summer. This week's theme is "my dream classroom." We have lots of ideas of things we would love to have in our dream classroom and can't wait to share them with you!
Our Dream Classroom
The upcoming school year brings about some change for Angie and I as we are switching schools and will have a brand new classroom. Starting over with a clean slate allows us to transform our new space into the learning environment of our dreams, of which we are very excited!
One of the things we have always wanted in a dream room is a LARGE room. This is the dream of every teacher, to have all the space you need and then some. Over the years each of us have been in several different size classrooms and one thing we have learned is that when it comes to classroom size, bigger is better! Our new room is definitely the biggest space either of us has ever had. To say we are thrilled by the amount of space we will have is an understatement.
We have decided on a new theme for our dream classroom this year – crayons! Since our blog is called Surviving Pre-K/PPCD One Crayon At A Time we decided a crayon theme was a perfect fit for us. If you have yet to go to Target this summer, get in your car and go right now. They have the BEST teacher supplies and classroom decor in the dollar spot right now. We loaded up on everything crayon related for our new classroom.
In our classroom we always create a bulletin board with all the students' names on it. The kids loves seeing their names up on the board and it really helps them to feel like they have some ownership in the classroom. For the past several years we have always done a Chicka Chicka Boom Boom tree and put all the kids' names on it. This year, to fit our new crayon theme, we have a whole new plan for this bulletin board. The theme for our bulletin board is "from crayons to college." I cannot tell you how excited we are to create this bulletin board. I love the concept of preparing our students to go from crayons to college during their educational careers. A blogger we love, Glitter Meets Glue, has the cutest glitter clip art and other products on her Teachers Pay Teachers store. We plan on using her super cute glitter crayons on our bulletin board to put each child's name on.
We hope you have enjoyed reading all about our dream classroom. We will be hard at work in the very near future creating this dream learning environment for students. Expect lots of pictures, blog posts, and periscopes from our new room!
-Heather & Angie

B vitamins and Dementia
By Linda on Oct 8, 2010 in Food
This is proof that we slow the brain shrinkage rate by 30% using B- vitamins. I assure you the difference will be even more significant when you include sublingual administration of Methylcobalamin with all 3 forms of Folic acid. By the way I have never failed to see real improvement in mental functioning when I enhance blood flow, which Beyond Chelation-Improved always does, as it really lowers blood viscosity significantly.
The synergistic effects from the over 78 active ingredients in BC-I with the Omega 3/primrose and the heparin-like effects from the EDTA/MUCOPOLYSACCARIDE and the PHOSPHATIDYL SERINE with Gingko that has always been a key part of oral chelation effect BC-I delivers without fail. Note we continue to have no reported fatal heart attacks or strokes while I cancel stents and bypass on everyone, as those are really not needed when you do my FIGHT for your health program.
Garry F. Gordon MD,DO,MD(H)
President, Gordon Research Institute
From: IAS Newsletter
Last week the exciting results of a new study were widely reported in the UK press, "Vitamin B tablets could slow and even halt the devastating march of Alzheimer's disease," The Daily Telegraph reported. The newspaper went on to say, "large daily doses of vitamin B can halve the rate of brain shrinkage, a process that can precede Alzheimer's disease and dementia".
This story is based on a well-conducted two-year double blind trial, carried out by researchers from the University of Oxford, the Oxford Radcliffe Hospitals NHS Trust and the University of Oslo in Norway, which compared the use of high dose vitamin B supplements with an inactive placebo in 271 people over 70 with slight memory problems. The study discovered that those given vitamin B suffered brain shrinkage or atrophy 30% slower than those given placebo.
This early research was published in PLoS One, the peer-reviewed journal of the Public Library of Science. Read the research here: Homocysteine-Lowering by fatal heart attacks or strokes while I cancel stents and bypass : A Randomized Controlled Trial
Brain atrophy describes the loss of neurones and their connections and is a process that is accelerated in people with mild cognitive impairment and even faster in those who develop Alzheimer's.


text: No cockpit view, no cigar.User Rating: 4 | GRID 2 PCBy natasha8384 | Review Date: May 28, 2013 I was looking forward to this game thinking that for sure the developer will this time around integrate the cockpit view in the game. Every racing/driving game nowadays that wants to be taken more seriously has the in-car view, but for some reason the only thing the developer has to offer are excuses of why the cockpit view is not there. So no luck this time for all of us who consider driving from the top of the hood or roof or from behind the car less natural than from the inside the car. Definitively a waste of money for cockpit-view supporters. Other than that the game looks interesting enough, to some extent also exiting, and while somewhat rushed still enjoyable. The lack of built-in in-car view will definitively be a deal breaker for many. Overall score: 4/10 - if you strongly prefer driving in in-car/cockpit view: 1/10 - if you prefer driving from some outside the car point of view: 7.5/10

So we've been on a roll this week! First we churned out the asparagus soup, then we made the spanish tortilla and now we're making baked wings. So we've been trying to eat healthier and we're finally making quite a bit of progress so I decided to share one of my wife's favorite meals: wings. You can buy a tray of them at the supermarket and since the oven does all the work, you can make as many as you like! First step is to mix the wings with some olive oil, paprika, cumin, salt and pepper. Mix them around so they get evenly coated.

I don't know why he's having so much trouble finding it. I just got my stimulus check in the mail yesterday: $40,000 to promote new media. BTW, I now really like Obama and all the previous posts about him have been removed because they just seemed unfair to him.

What Makes a Good Runner?
Peter Thomas '77 knows a thing or two about running and coaching. We asked him, and some of the runners he has coached, to weigh in on the intangibles that turn an average runner into a good one, a good runner into a great one.
by Stuart Kaufman
Peter Thomas '77, KSC's resident running guru and coach of the cross-country and track teams, has a lot to celebrate. Now in his 25th season as coach, he guided the Owl women to their 10th consecutive Little East Conference championship last fall and was named the LEC Coach of the Year for both men's and women's cross-country teams, the first LEC coach to earn both honors in the same year. During his long tenure at KSC, Thomas has produced hundreds of elite runners, scores of All-America athletes. During the 2010 indoor track season, junior Allison Chamberlain finished second in the 800-meter race, becoming the track program's 100th All-American. Cross country has 46 All-Americans so far. There's no magic formula – but a lot of accumulated wisdom to put to use.
Mental toughness. Is running mostly physical, or mostly mental? "As far as I'm concerned, running is about 70 or 80 percent mental," said Thomas. "It's overwhelming mental," concurred Tom Anderson '88, a three-time All-American at Keene State, who broke the New Hampshire record for five miles (24:59) when he was 35 years old. "If you worry about the competition, you're not thinking about yourself and your performance. It's about you, not about them." The ideal runner must endure the rigorous practice regimen and have a passion for the sport. Anderson takes it a step further, adding luck, a good coach, and a training plan.
Motivation. "Everyone has a trigger that makes them want to perform, and as a coach I need to find that trigger," said Thomas. "Sometimes it's impressing parents or a boy or girlfriend, and sometimes it's overcoming one of life's many adversities." He often tells the story of Marc Heilemann '96, a back-of-the-pack cross-country runner for the Owls, who, after deciding not to run track, suddenly showed up one spring day in Thomas's office. "Marc told me he wanted to be the best runner that he could and dedicate himself to the sport," Thomas said. Thomas later found out that Marc's close high school friend had died of leukemia. Dedicating the rest of his college career to his friend, Marc developed into a top varsity runner at KSC.
Food and rest. You are what you eat. Fast food won't make you run fast. Good nutrition and adequate sleep are essential.
Passion. Thomas has coached several gifted runners who wanted to take it to the next level. Mary Proulx '03 and Mark Miller '03, who combined to capture nine national championships and 25 All-America awards, offer some worthwhile advice. "A good runner needs to listen to her body," said Proulx. "You need to know when to push harder and when to take a break." Miller added, "The biggest attribute an athlete needs to be a great runner is passion."
Challenge. According to Gary Gardner '94, a former Owl runner now serving as the head cross-country and track coach at UMass Lowell, an athlete always needs to be challenged. "Coach Thomas never let us be satisfied and always put a new challenge in front of us to keep us motivated," said Gardner. "That's how I improved from being a below-average high school runner to someone who represented the country at the world championships."
Drive. Most coaches will tell you that asking an athlete to go out and run – especially long distances – isn't an easy task. Thomas: "It's hard to make your body go faster. Some kids think they can turn it on a couple of weeks before race day. But over a long period of time, it's the runners who consistently train hard who come out on top." Added Jenn Adams '08, a former Owl All-American and national champion, now serving as an assistant at RPI, "As a coach, your job is to make them better runners, but they have to have the drive inside them."
Focus. Keene State runners have to be a special breed. Without the creature comforts of a track, the Owls must be strong enough to handle distance and distractions. "At Keene State, good runners plan their day, what they eat, and their weekends around running," said Haley Lydstone, a sophomore from Bedford, New Hampshire. "They are not shy about snow or rain. They can feel pain and run through it, knowing that the end of a workout or hard run is more rewarding. They will perceive an injury or time off as the worst possible scenario."
When Thomas thinks about all the athletes he's coached over the years, he is as fond of the runners who worked hard just to earn a spot on the team as he is of the gifted ones who make up his long and impressive list of cross-country and track national champions (20) and All-America winners (146). "Looking back, I've been fortunate to have kids who wanted to push their limits and work hard," Thomas said. "I learned something from each one of them."

'Blue Valentine' Receives R-Rating And Plenty of Buzz
Harvey Weinstein makes like Houdini and resurrects "Blue Valentine" from its NC-17 grave.
On October 8th the MPAA slapped "Blue Valentine" with an unfair and perplexing NC-17 rating for explicit sexual content. Yesterday, after a "impassioned plea" by the infamous Harvey Weinstein, the film miraculously received an R-Rating three weeks prior to the film's limited release and just in time for awards season.
Derek Cianfrance's film has been garnering buzz since "Blue Valentine" premiered at 2010 Sundance Film Festival. Critics raved about the performances of Ryan Gosling and Michelle Williams in a genuine and heartbreaking depiction of a couple falling in and out of love. After Sundance, the film was picked up for distribution by The Weinstein Company immediately considered a contender for some important gilded statues.
As the film screened throughout the year at multiple film festivals domestically and overseas, criticism sprung about the film possibly being too depressing, and too raw. Whispers also followed the film about the intensely emotional sexual scenes. This kind of criticism seemed hurt the film's award chances. When the MPAA slammed the film with a NC-17 rating, those chances flatlined. Controversy and the fickle Motion Picture Academy do not mix. (See: Brokeback Mountain)
However a byproduct of the MPAA ruling sent the press and critics who had seen the film into a frenzy. And over the course of the last couple months as Oscar contending films were released each weekend, "Blue Valentine" continued to generate buzz, simply because the film was deemed controversial.
Harvey Weinstein, the king of generating Oscar buzz, spent the past two months making a very public fuss over "Blue Valentine"'s rating for a couple important reasons. A film with an NC-17 rating is like Hester Pryn wearing a large red "A" on her clothes, while it makes the film intriguing to some, to most it reminds people of "Showgirls." Secondly, Weinstein is distributing the film and it's extremely rare to find an NC-17 film at your local cineplex.
The result of "Blue Valentine" receiving it's deserved R-rating goes beyond box office dollars and increased Oscar chances. Whether Weinstein planned it or not, he just inadvertently created the best marketing campaign of the Oscar season. However, I don't think it's a coincidence that the film's excellent trailer was released on Oct. 8th, the same day the MPAA rated the film NC-17.
Weinstein knew potential audiences would be drawn to the film due to the controversy. The same man who massaged the Academy until convinced them to give him the Best Picture award for "Shakespeare in Love," has now magically resurrected "Blue Valentine." The intimidating man, famously depicted on "Entourage" has got his way, yet again, this time in impressive fashion.
Now we'll wait and see if "Blue Valentine," Gosling, and Williams will pick up any nominations, because remember the majority of the country has yet to see the film. In fact there's no guarantee the film will be recognized when the Oscar nominations are announced.
But thanks to Harvey Weinstein and the MPAA, there is little doubt "Blue Valentine" will be one of the most buzzed about films this holiday season.

Valentine\'s Day At the Bk LoungeMy worst Valentine's Day experience was back in college. I was an engineering student-- a MALE engineering student to be precise, and everyone knows engineering studies
a) have no lives outside of math, science, Star Wars, and video games
b) cannot interact with women
right? ;) Of course, the above precludes anyone from *possibly* having a date (egads!) on Valentine's Day.
Well I broke the mold folks. Not only did I have a date, I had a girlfriend. A long-term one, to boot. And quite hot, to boot some more. Stereotypes be damned.
Anyways, my most difficult engineering class of the semester had its midterm coming up. Engineering classes are usually graded as follows: Midterm 40%, Final 50%, Homework/other 10%. In other words, the midterm meant quite a lot. And my co-horts were, well, they satisfied A and B above, so the level of class achievement was quite high, as was the peer pressure to perform.
So the midterm had a review session, which were generally very helpful in preparing for the actual exam. And when, oh when was this critical session planned? You guessed it good people, on February 14th. 7pm. I can't make this up. This is engineering life, but that's probably for another topic on here, let's keep this to Valentine's Day.
Anyways, after little hesitation, I decided that I simply *had* to attend this session, or I would eat myself alive worrying that I had missed some critical hint and was thus doomed to failure of the class (which was NOT AN OPTION). And that would, by some weird extension, cause me to resent aforementioned girlfriend, right?
But this left me in quite the quandary. I loved her to pieces and wanted to spend it with her, but I got philosophical and took the approach that it's a silly holiday and the love you share on a daily basis is far, far more important than what can only be mustered up on a given day out of the year.
So I went to the review session. I took notes, I listened, I focussed. Or rather, I tried to focus. As the clock ticked by 8pm, and then 9pm (!!!!), I felt sick to my stomach. But I didn't get up. I couldn't, there was important stuff being mentioned here.
By the time I got back to the dorms, it was nearly 9:45pm. I called up Liz, apologized, and told her I'd pick her up momentarily and that we would go out. Honestly, she was used to my priorities and I think she may have even been pleasantly surprised I still wanted to go out. So she said 'yes.'
So, as we didn't have cars, "picking her up" meant getting on my bike and going by her place, where she would then join me on her own bike. And at 10:15, we headed out to the nearby town, about a 15 minute ride away.
In somewhat blustery weather (biking in winter is cold!), we arrived to town. Except, it was now nearing 11, and everything was closed.
Well, not everything. One place was open.
Oh no.
Oh yes.
So my girlriend and I ate at McDonald's, 11pm on Valentine's Day, and rode our bikes home. She never complained once, but in my head and my heart, I was feeling horrible. Utterly, completely horrible. Sometimes, you can see yourself make decisions that you know you are not going to be comfortable with, but you feel compelled to take them anyways. And instead of choosing one over the other, we look at our environment and blame it on external circumstances.
In retrospect, I don't know what I would have done differently, if anything. I did ace my midterm; maybe I would have failed if I hadn't gone to the review (the psychological impact of feeling like you missed out on something important might be enough to derail your knowledge). And Liz' reaction to the evening, her simple and accomodating love was intoxicating. However, I never knew if what I had done had some negative impact that she simply didn't verbalize or express-- I would have guessed it did, but since it represented a pattern of behavior, it was merely one more coal on the fire, so to speak, versus a flashpoint.
In any case, we went our separate ways after college. But I'll never forget that horrible Valentine's Day, stuck between a rock and a hard place between two very important things-- and the love of a person that made things like Valentine's Day worthwhile, even in spite of its impositions on our life.

1) you should have told her ahead of time u had to go to the review so she would know- part of communication

2) you should have made it up to her that next chance you had on a very much so needed vday date. adn taken her out to eat someplace nice and treat her like a lady. not a mc. lady.
This happens a lot, when you just want to split yourself. But remember that Valentine's Day is just one day, you have 364 days to spend with your girlfriend.

Kandiyohi County's snow budget still miles from debilitating 2010-11 cost
WILLMAR -- The heavy, wet snow that fell this week will give a bump in Kandiyohi County's snow removal expense column for the season, but it doesn't come anywhere close to what the county spent last year.
During a road and bridge meeting Thursday, the County Board of Commissioners reviewed the budget history from January 2010 to January 2012.
The two previous winters "were really bad," said Public Works Director Gary Danielson.
During a three-month period from November of 2010 to January of 2011, the county spent $583,374 on snow removal, including a quarter of a million dollars just for December of 2010.
The warm and nearly snow-free winter season this year resulted in a cost of $156,954 for the same three-month period, with just $35,000 spent this past December.
"The fact that it quit snowing was just a great thing for the budget," Danielson said.
A graph Danielson distributed to the commissioners depicted the cost of snow removal for the 2010-11 winter season as a huge jagged mountain.
This season it's barely a snowball.
That's not to say there wasn't money spent this season.
Some icy roads in January resulted in about $100,000 being spent on chemicals, and the cost to clean up the snow on Wednesday won't be cheap either. The final cost isn't known yet, but Danielson said because the snow was abnormally wet, the equipment got extremely poor fuel mileage.
He said each of the 19 units on the roads this week burned up about 130 gallons of diesel fuel. Some units got as little as 1.8 miles per gallon. "That'll be a blip on the graph," he said.
The commissioners on Thursday also discussed policies for future action to turn back some county roads to townships.
The intent is to improve transportation safety while determining which jurisdiction should be responsible for the maintenance of certain roads. Any so-called turn-back plan would likely include the county improving the road with grading or resurfacing before townships take it over.
The county is in the process of meeting with all the townships to discuss potential turn-back partnerships.
Danielson said the county currently owns roads that are strictly used for local use and should not be classified as a county road.
Commissioner Dean Shuck said the county needs to be careful not to "dump too much on the townships" that might not be able to afford the extra maintenance costs.
Commissioner Harlan Madsen agreed, saying that a map with a large number of proposed turnback roads could be "inflammatory" and send a wrong message to townships. He said roads will not be "crammed down throats" of townships.
But Madsen, who was recently appointed to the Governor's statewide transportation task force, said townships do need to know that because of the economy, there will be changes and "not every road will be a freeway."
The county is currently working on a turn-back plan with Kandiyohi Township. The commissioners agreed to take a day-long road tour later this month to gather information for future turn-back decisions.
In other action at Thursday's road and bridge meeting, the commissioners:
* Approved the 2012 construction schedule of $8.8 million, including the $3.1 million Eagle Lake road project.
* Approved a $105,000 grant proposal to fund a 1.3-mile bike trail near Eagle Lake north of Willmar. If a state Department of Natural Resources grant is approved, the county would provide a 25 percent match.
* Approved an agreement with Roseland Township for road improvements associated with the Roseland community's construction of a new sanitary sewer collection and treatment system.

The good news is that the Divine One does not test us – at least that's my take. Allow me to explain.
God is Love. Love has no need to test — it believes in you completely. God does not lead anyone into temptation, into failure nor into something you are not prepared to handle.
Our master teacher Jesus tells us that God does not judge.
We are all equal in the eyes of the divine. There are no favorites.
God granted us free will. Not kinda-free will, not sorta-free will, not partial-or-when-I-feel-like-it-free will. To say that God has put us in a situation goes against what I understand the Christian Scriptures tell us. Feel free to comment on this or any part of this post below if you have a different interpretation or understanding you would like to share.
The only one testing you is… well, you. Testing is a human concept for the demonstration of understanding. If you believe that the Divine is capable of knowing what is in your heart, then would any test be unnecessary to satisfy God? The actions of Jesus do not appear to support the idea that God tests us. His example appears to be to the opposite. When one or more of the disciples were unsteady in principles, his comments were more around: "Have you no faith?", "Where is your faith?" The tests were always about them and by them. It was seemingly about their perception of the events combined with their personal faith. Did Jesus say, "this is The Father's test for you"
We come into alignment with new Truths when we are ready, and if it feels to you like a test, it could be that you are still in a stage where conscious effort is required to apply the new understandings. If it's not second nature to you yet, don't sweat it. Be grateful for the opportunity to practice and move through it with grace using the fullest expression of the Truth that you can at that moment.
We may think of it as a test merely because the new awakening or the condition is something that is freshly in our awareness. The opportunities have been there all along, we are just now awake enough to see them. We might think of it as a test because we lack faith in our own understandings. If we doubt ourselves, there is room for some false perception of failure. With the idea of failure in our consciousness, we may unconsciously go looking for opportunities to practice our new understandings. Perhaps ego may be at the heart of this — putting us into situations where we can fail in our growth so ego can survive.
We live truths to the extent of our willingness to do so. Sometimes, for whatever reasoning, we are not willing to step fully into a principle. So we step into a situation where that Truth is to be expressed, we embrace it halfheartedly and the outcome isn't as wonderful as we would like. Much like when we were a child and were asked to clean our bedrooms. If you weren't into doing it, and how many of us really had a 'passion' for cleaning our rooms, the end result my have been "okay" on the surface but we knew in our hearts we could have done more. We just wanted to get on with it and get back to play time.
To my way of thinking, "test" is merely a label we apply to events in our lives where we feel unsteady. Events where we have a chance to practice understandings that we feel are not our strongest. Have you noticed, when applying a principle becomes second nature, you gradually stop calling it a test? What changed? Well you did, at the very least, your point of view changed. You decided to stop applying the label. If we get to make the call on when it stops being a test, then is it really God submitting the test?
So here is your take away:
We here at Empower-Yourself.com always honor your perceptions on your path. It is YOUR path and you are your own best guide and you certainly get to chose how to walk it. Regardless of your views on life's "tests", the ideas below may assist you in bringing personal empowerment and peace into your life.
To live more fully empowered: Stop labeling events as a test. If you are seeing it as a test and have the mindset of "this is for a grade, I better do good", then you are coming from a place un-empowered – perhaps even a place of fear. If you "do the right thing" because you have chosen to, now you are living empowered. I suspect we all understand how much we prefer to do what we want to do over what we have to do. Feel the difference? Coming from the empowering space makes room for joy, passion and a life of happiness in everything you are doing.
To live more fully in peace: release the idea that events are some test that was manufactured for you and see it for what it is. Just another event in the continuous, unbroken and overlapping string of events we call life. Work through it with the integrity you have and all the Love you can, and you will come through the other side with the highest and best outcome possible to you at that moment.

Los Angeles (August 7, 2006)---It's easy to understand why the Commercials Contracts are regarded as some of the most important agreements that Screen Actors Guild members work under. Covering advertisements that appear on television, radio, the Internet and new media, they generated $750 million in total SAG earnings last year. Now that the Guild and its negotiating partner AFTRA have tentatively agreed to a two-year extension of the Commercials Contracts with the advertising industry, it's imperative that all members understand the highlights of a deal that achieved unanimous support from the SAG-AFTRA joint committee only three days ago in New York.
Some of the key points:
· New Jurisdiction. Along with advertisements that appear on TV, radio and the Internet, the groundbreaking agreement would also cover all commercials that appear in new media-for existing platforms such as cell phones and for future platforms yet to be developed. This should translate into more work opportunities now and in the future.
· More Earnings and Benefits. Actors will receive a 6% increase in basic compensation (and residuals), and the contribution to both unions' Pension & Health plans will go from 14.3% to 14.8%. This translates into an expected total increase of $45 million in SAG scale earnings and P&H contributions. For the first time in 20 years this increase will also apply to all Class A use payments.
· Joint Study. The extension engages a yet-to-be-determined consultant to conduct a joint study that will examine alternative methods to compensate performers for their participation in commercials appearing on television and radio, and especially the Internet and the growing array of new media. "A comprehensive joint study will allow us to determine whether existing pay structures should remain the same or be modified," said SAG Chief Negotiator John McGuire.
· Committee of Performers & Producers. A New Media Committee, comprised of representatives from both the unions and the industry, will be formed. This Committee will be empowered to make adjustments to the agreement to accommodate changing technologies and shifting paradigms within the commercials industry.
· Strategic Compromise. Screen Actors Guild and AFTRA proved they are both willing to work with producers and find new and inventive ways to conduct business—if it benefits performers. "In a rapidly evolving media environment, our agreement demonstrates that performers and advertisers can work together to deal with change and build a stronger partnership that benefits us all," McGuire said.
Example one: The agreement provides advertisers with more flexibility to edit commercials for the Internet and new media. Of course, if advertisers wish to exercise these broader Internet or new media editing rights, for commercials made initially for use on broadcast or cable television, then, in addition to the minimum use payments called for by the contract, they must bargain with the performer regarding the additional compensation to be paid for such editing rights. The extension agreement does not provide for a specific minimum payment as the basis of such bargaining. However, this does not change the fact that performers would receive one payment for Internet use and a separate payment for use on new media platforms.
Example two: Advertisers will receive a one-year waiver, which will allow advertisers to experiment with a shorter eight-week cycle of use in the new media and Internet areas. This shorter cycle of use is paid at the rate of a session fee with full contract payment for use beyond the eight weeks. It is hoped that this shorter cycle will create additional payment opportunities for performers. Additionally, under the previous commercials contract, performers could receive six times scale for ads that moved from broadcast to either new media or Internet areas; however, this new agreement would make it possible for actors to receive seven times scale for product that moves over for the maximum period of use.
· What happens next? The extension agreement must now be ratified by both unions' joint national board and approved by both union memberships through a joint referendum, as well as approved by the boards of both ANA and AAAA. If approved, the contract would be extended through October 29, 2008.

Michael Palmer, the New York Times bestselling author of A Heartbeat Away and The Last Surgeon brings us a shocking new thriller at the crossroads of politics and medicine.
What if a well respected doctor inexplicably goes on a murderous rampage?
When Dr. John Meacham goes on a shooting spree the office, his business partner, staff, and two patients are killed in the bloodbath. Then Meacham turns the gun on himself.
The blame falls on Dr. Lou Welcome. Welcome worked with Meacham years before as a counselor after John's medical license had been revoked for drug addiction. Lou knew that John was an excellent doctor and deserved to be practicing medicine and fought hard for his license to be restored. After hearing the news of the violent outburst, Lou is in shock like everyone else, but mostly he's incredulous. And when he begins to look into it further, the terrifying evidence he finds takes him down a path to an unspeakable conspiracy that seems to lead directly to the White House and those in the highest positions of power.

Does Morto worm prove inherent flaws in Windows RDP security?
The recent Morto worm had unusual success spreading via Windows Remote Desktop Protocol. Does that mean RDP is security too weak? Nick Lewis explains.

Desktop Protocol, configuration errors or simply weak passwords? Do you think it's likely the state of a move away from Trojans and bots and back toward "old-school" Internet worms?
The Morto worm, discovered in August, was a new way to attack insecurely configured Windows systems. Essentially an evolved Windows networking worm, it spread from an infected system using the Windows Remote Desktop Protocol (RDP), an element of the Windows Remote Desktop Connection service that allows a Windows PC or server to be controlled remotely. However, the worm did not exploit vulnerabilities in RDP the way previous Windows networking worms did.
The rapid propagation of the Morto worm was a result of RDP being allowed through many firewalls. Most generic firewalls could not block this attack without blocking RDP, but firewalls or IPSes with application detection capabilities could be used to block the application-layer attack. The Morto worm was an application-layer attack, exploiting a common configuration error: a weak password. It would attempt a brute-force login as an administrator on a victim's machine, using a series of common passwords. Most systems should be configured to enforce strong passwords, yet Morto was still able to spread quite successfully.
The Morto worm was just an infection mechanism to load malware on the system. As far as malware goes, it didn't seem to be terribly malicious, but Morto could have loaded Zeus or a number of different malware or bot software programs on its victim machines to profit from its rapid propagation. It's an important lesson for security practitioners, as broad use of strong passwords would have likely stopped the Morto worm in its tracks.
It is ironic that Windows systems configured with one of the least secure options, a blank administrative password, would have been protected from this worm since users with blank passwords are not allowed to connect via Remote Desktop Protocol. I wouldn't be surprised if the Morto worm paves the way for a future Windows worm to attack an application or protocol exposed by network or additional host-based firewalls, like the Witty worm did for BlackIce. There are security weaknesses in older versions of RDP (.pdf) and the remote desktop client, but Microsoft has improved the security of the protocol and the client application in the most recent versions, most notably with strong encryption for network connections.

"You only do two days. The day you go in and the day you get out."
First, there's birth. Then, family attempts to teach you the ways of the world. Next, that very same world, at some point, affords a valuable lesson, "You're either going to live until you die. Or die before you get a chance to live." From there, destiny takes its course. And for Avon and Stringer, their world provided them everything from the women, to the money to the power. Nevertheless, just like the world so viciously does, it changed. Fast money is addictive, but the penitentiary's a revolving door. Fear is stronger than love. And loyalty should always precede royalty as long as the other party's intentions are pure.
That's life.

... just a general question I don't really get the whole
... is there a real reason?
... is there a real reason?
Why are you supposed to not wear white after labor day?
... just a general question I don't really get the whole
... is there a real reason?
it used to be some fashion faux paw, but it just seems stupid now
Labor day is supposed to signify the last celebration day of summer. And typically white is only worn on warm summer days because it reflects light.
I love wearing white so who gives a heck.
I don't think I've ever heard someone say that in all seriousness after labor day, but it might be just me. I think that phrase is probably headed toward being an anachronism.
This is another way that the media & Madison ave. has to try to sell stuff. If you fall for that one then you are too worried about your looks and have nothing better to do then to judge those by their attire. If you have that much time you should get a real job or do something that requires some thought so you are not so superficial.
Yes, you should look neat and clean but with the colors and patterns available today that tradition is past it's usefulness.
Umm I wore white today. ...Didn't realize it was a capital crime. ...Oh no, I've confessed!!
I've always wondered that also, and have always assumed that it's because white is a "summer" color, but I'm not sure. That theory that someone posted previously about Labor Day being the last party of the summer seems logical to me.
I never wondered that, because i've never heard of it before... well, you learn something new everyday.
It's the first time I've heard about not wearing white after labor day. haha. now you're making me wonder why too.
umm your ALWAYS wearing white after labor day if you wear white at all...
Start of year -->-------------------labor day -->-------------------End of year
using this as a guide lets says x is where you wear white
Start of year -->-------------------labor day -->---------X---------End of year
Looks like you wore white after.. but wait in 2008
Start of year -->-------X-----------labor day -->-------------------End of year
You still wearing it AFTER labor day... see? its ALWAYS after....
that's true and funny.. oh no i wore white after labor day
You read my mind......I was going to say that! But not with a diagram.
Huh I had never heard of that. But regardless, m-productions is right. You're always wearing white after labor day. Cause of labor day from the previous year. lol. So that's pretty stupid.
If you consider the first day of the year a reset, then this logic wouldn't work.
ah but who the heck says it resets? I dont see that in the saying do you?
God knows why lol...just faith i guess
I never really got why people always say don't wear white after Labor Day. This Labor Day I wore white and no one really said anything usually people are like why are you wearing white when they see people wearing it after Labor Day. I think its one of superstitions that people come up with and after a while no one knows why they do it.
You learn something new everyday and I'm a labor day baby lol
raine dragon
As far as I know, it comes from the past when ladies wore stockings and gloves if they were going to town, and skirts were never above the knee.
It is one of those 'laws' of fashion, rather like gloves and stockings, which is rather outdated, but used to be very, very important. Wearing white after labor day, at some points in history caused all the ladies to gossip in a flurry . XD
I remember hearing about this saying from my sister, but neither of us knew the reason why one should not wear white after Labor Day. I used to, and still probably think of that saying in the same way m-productions did--I mean, isn't it a little silly when you can wear white on every day but Labor Day?
While Liu said the first day of the year can be considered a reset, I think that part depends on the person. It's like asking people what Sunday is; it's not always the first day of the week. =O
And who the heck says it doesn't reset?
My point is that it's all by the person's opinion.
never heard anyone say that before, i dont really care tbh... i wear mostly black and dark colors anyways.
I'm with you...I wear black most all of the time....then again I am no dedicated slave to fashion.
I've never heard of it. It's so interesting
Agreed, I wear black everyday, but that's just me (and it helps so I don't have to decide what to wear "hmm let me look in my closet - 20 black shirts, I wonder which I'll wear today"). I could understand that wearing white in the wintertime, might increase the difficulty in finding lost persons, but that's the only logical conclusion I can come to. Oh and the other thing may be teenagers of the female variety wearing white when it rains, reminds me of old friends and their crazy stunts.
Hehe ive noticed this is like the second or third thing you've agreed with me on
I like to be different from others.
I wear Summer Whites until they tell me otherwise.
Hoorah Naval Academy.
White shoes right?
Good thing for me b/c i only wear black boots.
Labor day is my Birth Day. So, ...
I heard that it was because sometime in the 1950's, the class division between rich and poor started changing, and the middle-class came into stronger being. In order to fit in with the "rich" class more so, they used fashion rules like this to try and mimic them. As said earlier, white is a bad idea to wear during winter in cold climates because it doesn't keep you as warm. Another reason for it is that you were seen as uncultured if you wore white shoes during the bleaker months, because white was somehow seen as "cheerier", and you're suppose to dress darker, more like you mourning and depressed because of the weather.
Anyways, this rule is outdated now, especially since the climate is getting warmer due to global warming.
I think that's probably true... and, if that's the case, I expect the "Labour Day White sales" that used to happen probably have something to do with it too. My Grandma used to tell stories of people lining up before the stores opened for Labour Day sales, and ladies fighting (physically) for items.
I think if you were poor, you would do that. But you wouldn't want anyone to know you did that, so you would probably save your new, cheap whites for the new year.
People are weird, huh?
Off topic: Getting warmer in the winter???? We've had cold winters in my neck of the woods. And around here (where there is snow in the winter, and the dirt is too frozen to stick to you) whites are easier to keep clean in the winter than t any other time of year!
Never heard of that rule until today...I don't wear white anyhow. It shows smudges of grease from robotics too easily...
I'd be curious to know where this came from and how old it is.
what is labor day man???, I have not heard that either leave alone to answer to say why it is not considered to wear white clothes after labor day!!
I'm a labor baby so I don't care and I still wear white. I heard it only dealt with the shoes that they wore
The old rule is no pure white SHOES after Labor Day.
(Sneakers and nurse shoes don't count.) Off-white or cream-colored shoes are okay. White shirts are okay. White pants or skirts are bad. Aside from being mystified as to why anybody would EVER want to wear white pants, I don't really see the point, myself.
If you want to wear white after Labor Day, by all means wear white, unless you're visiting a rich, elderly, female relative who will think you're trashy and cut you out of her will!
Never heard of that before though. Intesresting info

Now for the juicy response. Mitch, you of all people know how the consensus process works. It is on the wiki and explained at every meeting. It works so that someone makes a consensus item before one Tuesday meeting. This first meeting and the time to the next meeting is to make everyone aware of said consensus item. This allows us to include everyone pretty much always. It allows council members to proxy block or whatever the case may be. It also allows people involved time to plan to attend a meeting so that perhaps they can defend themselves. The banning of Lee was on there for way more than two weeks. Lee knew of the proposal. Naomi should have known about It and perhaps blocked or made a request before consensus was reached.

Lee is currently unwelcome at noisebridge in its entirety. If Lee wishes to change this he should follow noisebridge procedure and create a new consensus item to reverse the other one. If he doesn't do that, the ban is even more legitimate since he is refusing to abide by our rules and bylaws.

I need all of you who are encouraging Lee to come to the meeting to tell him not too. He would be tresspassing. It is 100% your fault for not being involved enough to either proxy block or make a request for more discussion. Please respect consensus and be excellent.

... noisebridge is apparently whatever the active membership decide it
is. I thought that was the point.

If there's one thing Japan can do right, it's celebrating. They celebrate new anime, old anime, anniversaries, releases, you name it. For a little magical girl anime from 1983, Creamy Mami, they're celebrating the 30th anniversary sweetly - with crepes.
The crepe shop, which features art and some pretty amazing-looking treats, is open until March 29th.
The stand sits in front of Shinjuku Marui Annex, which sells Mami macaroons.
Who wants crepes?
