Shakespeare's Macbeth Quote
Macbeth Act 3 Scene 1
Now, if you have a station in the file
Not i' the worst rank of manhood, say 't
Plain English Macbeth quote
Now, if you have a place in humanity that's not at the very bottom of the pile, tell me.
Shakespeare's Macbeth Quote
Yet do I fear thy nature. It is too full of the milk of human kindness…
Plain English Macbeth Quote
Lady Macbeth thinks that Macbeth isn't tough enough to kill Duncan.
She's thinking that she has no confidence in him because he doesn't
have it in him to do it. He is too full of kindness. Milk is a sweet
thing to feed babies on and she's using that metaphor.
Shakespeare's Macbeth Quote
To The Last syllable of recorded time,
And all our yesterdays have lighted fools
The way to dusty death. Out, out brief candle!
Life's but a walking shadow, a poor player
That struts and frets his hour upon the stage
Plain English Macbeth Quote
How the days stretched out – each one the same as the one before, and they would continue to do so, tediously, until the end of history. And every day we have lived has been the last day of some other fool's life, each day a dot of candle-light showing him the way to his death- bed. Blow the short candle out: life was no more than a walking shadow – a poor actor – who goes through all the emotions in one hour on the stage and then bows out. It was a story told by an idiot, full of noise and passion, but meaningless.
Shakespeare's Macbeth Quote
Macbeth: 'ourself will mingle with you and play the huble host,'he said
Plain English Macbeth Quote
At the banquet Macbeth greets his guests and says 'I will be a good host and move around among you.'
Shakespeare's Macbeth Quote
Sleep shall neither night nor day Hang upon his penthouse lid. He shall live a man forbid. Weary seven nights nine times nine Shall he dwindle, peak, and pine. Thought his bark cannot be lost, Yet it shall be tempest-tost.
Plain English Macbeth quote
This is one of the witches talking about what they are going to do to Macbeth. She's saying:
He won't be able to sleep during the night or during the day. He will be shunned by everyone. The weeks will drag while he loses his power and suffer depression. Although he won't be easily defeated he will have a very difficult time.
Shakespeare's Macbeth Quote

Plain English Macbeth quote
Quote 1: After he has seen the ghost and everyone has gone Macbeth says to Lady Mabeth – There was a time when a man would die when his brains had been knocked out and that would be the end of it, but these days they rise again, with twenty fatal gashes on their heads, and push us off our chairs.

Shakespeare's Macbeth Quote
Hi guys,
I was looking at some help translating a few things from macbeth.
I need some help with Act 1 Scene 7 from lines 1 to 28
and also Act 3 scene 1 from lines 47 to line 75
Thanks Alan
Plain English Macbeth quote
Macbeth Act 1: S cene VII, Lines 1-28
Macbeth swept his plate aside and tapped distractedly on the table. He got up and, pushing past the people in his way, made it to the door and out into the fresh air of the courtyard.
What should he do? He faced the tower wall and pressed his forehead against it. If it could be all finished and done with when it's done then it may as well be done quickly. If only the repercussions of the murder could be controlled. If only all the danger could end with Duncan's death -. If only the death blow could be the end of it -. If only we could escape the consequences of our actions here on earth – skip the life to come -.
Macbeth climbed up to the battlements and looked up at the sky. There were no stars.
The trouble was that we have choice: we have freedom of choice. But if we choose violent options they come back to plague us. And it was that law, that even-handed justice, that was the problem. When we poison others we poison ourselves.
Duncan. Macbeth sighed. What was he to do?
The King trusted him completely. For two very good reasons: first as Macbeth was his cousin and his subject -both very powerful arguments against murder – and then as he was Duncan's host, who should shut the door against his murderer, not bear the knife himself!
Macbeth walked slowly down the stairs and back into the courtyard. And anyway, Duncan was so gentle as a man, and so strong as a king, that his virtues would cry out for revenge at the brutality of his death. There would be outrage at the slaughter of such a good man: everyone would be so filled with pity that the whole nation would grieve.
No, there was no excuse – only vaulting ambition, which threatened to overreach itself and bring him crashing down.
Act 3: Scene I, Lines 47-75
While the attendant was gone Macbeth paced. It was all very well to put on a pleasant face for his guests but that wasn't how he felt. He was on edge. To become king was nothing. But to stay king: that's what really mattered.
Banquo was the problem. He was a big threat: it was his great dignity that was so frightening. And he was fearless. And careful. Banquo was the only person in the world he feared and when Banquo was around he felt inferior, as Mark Antony had done in the presence of Octavius Caesar.
He remembered the way Banquo had reproached the witches when they'd first put the name of king on him. And he had insisted that they speak to him. And when they did they looked respectful and hailed Banquo as the father of a line of kings. On his own head they had placed a fruitless crown and put a barren scepter in his hand! To be wrenched away by a hand not of his own family – none of his sons succeeding him. So it was for Banquo's descendants that he had corrupted his soul. He had murdered the gracious Duncan for them! Stuck thorns in his peace of mind just for them. And given his precious soul to the Devil to turn Banquo's sons into kings. All that for the seed of Banquo! Rather than that he would defy Fate and fight it to the death.
Shakespeare's Macbeth Quote
I have 2 of them, thanks Angi:
Macbth Act III scene iv lines 76-84
"Blood hath shed ere now i' th' olden time, were human statute purged the gentle weal; ay, and since too, murders have been performed too terrible for the ear. The times has been that, when the brains were out, the man would die, and there an end; but now they rise again, with twenty mortal murders on their crowns, and push us from our stools. This is more strange than such a murder is."
Macbeth Act III scene iv lines 135-141
"I am bent to know by worst means the worst. For mine own good all causes shall give way, I am in blood stepped in so far that, should I wade no more, returning were as tedious as go o'er. Strange things I have in head that will to hand, which must be acted ere they may be scanned."
Plain English Macbeth quote
Blood has often been shed in the past and in previous ages before human laws made things more gentle. And even since then murders too terrible for the human ear have been done. There was a time that when a man's brains had been bashed in he would die and that was the end of it. But now they rise again with twenty fatal wounds of their heads and push us off our chairs. This is even stranger than such a violent murder is.
I am determined to know, no matter how I do it, the worst. I'm going to make that the priority. I have waded so far in blood that even if I were to go no further it would be more difficult to turn back than go on with it. My head is full of plans that I must put into action before I can think about them.
Shakespeare's Macbeth Quote
can you help me with this it is act 4 scene 3 lines 115-137 by malcolm
Macduff, this noble passion,
Child of integrity, hath from my soul
Wiped the black scruples, reconciled my thoughts
To thy good truth and honour. Devilish Macbeth
By many of these trains hath sought to win me
Into his power, and modest wisdom plucks me
From over-credulous haste: but God above
Deal between thee and me! for even now
I put myself to thy direction, and
Unspeak mine own detraction, here abjure
The taints and blames I laid upon myself,
For strangers to my nature. I am yet
Unknown to woman, never was forsworn,
Scarcely have coveted what was mine own,
At no time broke my faith, would not betray
The devil to his fellow and delight
No less in truth than life: my first false speaking
Was this upon myself: what I am truly,
Is thine and my poor country's to command:
Whither indeed, before thy here-approach,
Old Siward, with ten thousand warlike men,
Already at a point, was setting forth.
Now we'll together; and the chance of goodness
Be like our warranted quarrel! Why are you silent?
Thank you
Plain English Macbeth quote
Macduff, this noble passion of yours, that comes from your integrity has wiped away my doubts about you and made me see your truthfulness and honour. Devilish Macbeth, using many of these temptations, has tried to seduce me into his power and only modest wisdom has saved me. But may God sort things out between you and me. From this minute I'm putting myself under your direction and take back the things I said about myself. I hereby condemn all those terrible things I laid on myself because I'm not like that. I've not yet been with a woman, never lied, hardly ever wanted anything that belonged to anyone else and have never broken a promise. I would never betray the devil to his own kind and love truth as much as I love life. The first time I ever spoke untruthfully was in telling you about myself. The truth is that I am yours and my poor country's to command. Indeed it's to Scotland that Old Siward was setting out for with ten thousand soldiers. Now we'll go together, and the chance of goodness will end like our supposed quarrel.

Translation of Macbeths speech Act I scene III
'two truths are told. as happy prologues to the swelling
act……………………………is smothered in surmise and nothing is but what is not', Susan
Plain English Macbeth quote
The witches told me two truths as pleasing introductions to the third, which is that I am going to be king. This supernatural information can't be evil, and it can't be good. If it's evil then why has it given me assurances of success, beginning with the truth? I am Thane of Cawdor after all. If it's good, though, then why am I giving way to that suggestion whose terrible image makes my hair stand up on end and make my normally steady heart knock against my ribs at the thought of such an unnatural thing? The real fears that we have are not as bad as the horrible things we imagine. The thoughts I'm having are so unbelievable that they're making me lose myself, so much so that I can't do anything and nothing seems real.

Join us then. There is still a bit of light in the western sky. At this time the late traveller is spurring his horse to hurry so that he can get to an inn in good time. And the subject we're waiting for (Banquo) is coming closer.
Shakespeare's Macbeth Quote
"So I lose none
In seeking to augment it, but still keep
My bosom franchised and allegiance clear,
I shall be counselled."
(Banquo, Act II Scene I)

Before murdering Duncan Macbeth encounters Banquo and asks him if he would spare the time to talk about what the witches said. He tells Banquo that he would appreciate it if he would defer to his (Macbeth's) view about it.
Banquo then says: 'As long as I don't betray the king's trust, am able to keep a true heart and my allegiance to the king clear, I will do as you tell me.'

Extinguish yourself, short candle! Life is nothing more that a walkgin shadow, only an actor who poses and expresses emotion during this hour on the stage, and isn't heard from again. It's the nonsense that an idiot talks, full of noise and rage, having no meaning.

She should have died hereafter,
There would have been a time for such a word.
Plain English Macbeth Quote
He's saying that Lady Macbeth should have died at a more convenient
time. He would then have had time to say something about her death.

Defining why certain musical artists have staying power and others don't almost seems like an impossible endeavor. It certainly isn't talent. I learned that when Madonna clearly won out over Cyndi Lauper in the female pop singer battle of the early 80s. But there is often this indefinable substance that differentiates people like Justin Timberlake from dozens of emotive singers in boy bands whose sun has set on their career before they were 30. Or which has helped Katy Perry and her candy colored persona endure far more than other pop singers, including the quickly fading career of Lady Gaga. Or especially why Beyonce continues to be relevant across several genres of music while many of her contemporaries have faded from the spotlight.
At Forbes Magazine, Frances Bridges is trying to define the "celebrity substance" that allows celebrities to endure and comes up with some intriguing ideas. In writing about Taylor Swift's reason for her enduring career, she writes this:
So how did Swift bridge into young adulthood? Swift took the road less traveled by her peers Katy Perry, Beyoncé or Lady Gaga by not taking on a sexualized feminist persona. Instead, wrote songs about what it's like to be in your twenties. She didn't rewrite "Fifteen," or any of her other hits, and doesn't sing the same story over and over again. Swift and her music have grown up together with her fans, any artist will say that is one of the most difficult things to do well as a musician. She hasn't innovated her sound just for the sake of innovating, and she hasn't been a slave to six-month beat trends. Her songs have reached across genre isles but are still unmistakably Swiftian.
She distinguishes herself by not taking the road many female entertainers do when they're trying to enter a mature market. Instead of changing her image, Swift changes the content of her music to reflect her maturity and how she's evolved; she's done it extremely well, especially for someone her age. It has made a huge difference in her staying power and in her success.
Now while Bridges might not be saying that Swift remains popular because she retains a less sexual image, she is implying to some extent that there is a typical path towards pop star womanhood. By deviating from that path, Swift is not alienating her audience, which in turn, increases her staying power. She is not necessarily saying that someone like Perry will, on the other hand, not remain relevant or retain an audience but rather, the reasons and the relationship to the fans will be far different. (I'd also argue that Beyonce is not a peer of Taylor Swift in any way so I am not sure why she is invoked here. Not only is Beyonce's career about a decade longer than either one of them, I think conflating Perry's, Lady Gaga's and Beyonce's feminist persona does short shrift to Beyonce's gradual evolution as an artist. But that's a whole other argument).
I think there is some truth to that idea. Growing up as a woman in this culture, I remember finding it tiresome that maturity often meant a very typical type of sexualization. So when Christina Aguilera wanted to announce her transition to adulthood, she did with Dirrty. So dirty, it needed an extra r. Or when Britney went from teenage coquette in Baby One More Time to faux bisexuality with Madonna at the VMA awards. Or of course, Miley Cyrus's almost carnival-like sexuality has definitely launched her into adulthood and she even brought along noted creep Terry Richardson to help with her image.
But to be honest, that can be alienating to many women whose path to adulthood is not just about passive sexualization. I mean, sure, there is something to be said about increasingly exploring your sexuality, especially as an actor and not as a passive object. There is something about being subversive especially around female sexual imagery. I mean, in the 80s and 90s, Madonna was considered a revolutionary in some circles for her image and many cultural wars burned because of her experimentation with her image. And yes, like Bridges's writes, they often assume a feminist stance, which is great, but not all feminists relate to each other. And certainly a lot of young women aren't going to relate to how many female pop artists define their sexuality.
I remember my own path towards womanhood and finding it tiring at times that maturity in the culture was characterized by becoming more sexual in a passive, heteronormative way. I coped by listening to thrash metal, which was dark, brooding and angry but spoke about alternate experiences, ones that I could understand. Now this might sound like a stretch but it is the same impulse. It is that recognition of common experience that often bonds the listener and the musical artist and like it or not, Swift and her fans understand each other well.
I grew up in a dying agricultural town during the Reagan administration. I would say that easily the majority of adults abused alcohol, kids I knew well were abusing heroin before they reached high school and the suicide rate was very high. When you look for music, you often look for music that reflects a path that speaks to your experience. Hair metal and pop music did not exactly fit that bill for me at the time. Thrash did. I didn't like boys enough to want to listen to music about kissing them so anything else was preferable. When I was older, I transitioned into listening to grunge and bands related to the Riot Grrl movement which offered alternative views of maturity and sexuality. It was the early 90s and the idea that women could be angry, that queer sexuality could be visible and that I could be more than a passive object seemed like a revelation. I remember feeling similarly to when Tool's album Undertow came out. I could relate to this music. I felt less alone. It made me feel real. It almost seemed as if it exposed me to an alternative history that cast many of my most power emotions into high relief.
For many of Swift's fans, her experience and even more so, her feelings around dealing with love, friends and childhoods similarly resonate despite the overt differences. Her contemporaries' pop hooks and provocative images might temporarily capture her fans' attention but the same image does not promote the kind of identification that solicits more enduring dedication to an artist.
While Taylor Swift is the lightest and airiest of stars, she also is powerful enough in her own right to be in control of her own maturation, even though the media consistently tries to characterize her as desperate or silly because of her dating history. Her desire to take control of her own image has likely helped retain her fans who might find more in common with her than with people like Miley or even Katy Perry (despite Perry's occasional forays into the inspirational power ballad). Yes, you are a firework, Katy, but that mostly seems like bullshit. And maybe to an extent, the music industry will take notice that young women are often the best judges of what is an authentic trajectory of maturity because even if Swift's image is heavily controlled, there seems to be considerable evidence that she is doing much of the controlling.
Of course, the industry being what they are will likely just seek out dozens of imitators with a less sexualized approach and that will become a new way alienate women. They do it when any other act shows resonates. But you know, we can always hope for incremental change.

As runners began arriving for the 36th annual Bank of America Chicago Marathon, Mayor Rahm Emanuel and race officials welcomed them and feted eight athletes who have crossed the finish line every time since the race began in 1977.
It will be the first Chicago Marathon since the bombings at the Boston Marathon in April that killed three spectators and injured scores. The race, Emanuel said, is a chance to show "a city, country and world come together to say we will not be deterred."
The 2013 marathon has already set records for the number of registered international racers — 10,264 from 129 countries — and wheelchair athletes, according to race officials.
Emanuel, race Executive Director Carey Pinkowski and Bank of America Illinois President Tim Maloney welcomed back the runners who have never missed a Chicago Marathon.
Though all eight are from the Chicago area, they had never met until Pinkowski assembled the Alumni Team — or, as Henry Kozlowski, 63, of Wilmette, likes to call them, the "old geezers" — before the marathon's 20th anniversary in 1997. That year, there were 14 of them.
A handful have retired from the racing circuit, but the eight said they plan to keep coming back.
Daniel Skrzypczynski, 73, of Chicago, acknowledges his days of finishing in just a little more than three hours are behind him.
"I've used the term 'Bataan death march,'" he joked.
But while he's not sure if he'll make it to his goal of racing in the 50th Chicago Marathon, he doesn't plan to stop anytime soon.
"If I was running until the day I die, that would be pretty good," Skrzypczynski said.

The "Study" Collection by Nacho Carbonell unveiling the process that, starting from an idea leads to a finished piece.
Nacho Carbonell's particular way of creating must go through different steps, starting from sketches on paper, going on to 3D models made by metal wire to reach a final mock up which is often made from different materials found round his studio – This is why each Study represents a specific step in the developing of an idea and each finished piece is a frozen moment of the designer's creative process.
Some of these "studies" have succeed to become real pieces and have been shown in worldwide Art and Design Exhibitions.
Nacho Carbonell likes to see objects as living organisms, imagining them coming alive and being able to surprise you with their behaviour. He wants to create objects with his hands, then he can give them his personality. Nacho turns them into communicative objects that can arouse one's sensations and imagination. What he wants to create are objects with a fictional or fantasy element, that allow you to escape everyday life.View designer's page

MILAN (Reuters) - As Fiat Chrysler moves to reinvent its small Maserati brand as a serious rival to the world's luxury car makers, the pressure to succeed is all the greater for the startling success of Germany's Porsche.
The German sportscar maker has set the standard for multiplying sales of an expensive brand without damaging the exclusive image that reaps big profits.
Fiat Chrysler Automobiles Chief Executive Sergio Marchionne wants Maserati to be for the Italian automaker what Porsche is for its parent company Volkswagen - a formidable source of profits that are less vulnerable to swings in the economy than the group's mass-market brands.
Maserati has Italian allure and a recognized sporting heritage. But Fiat Chrysler, the world's seventh-largest auto group, sold just 15,400 of the growling, muscular sportscars last year - not yet enough to change the group's fortunes - compared to Porsche's sales of over 160,000.
Porsche's 18-percent automotive operating margin - the rate of underlying profit on its sales - has made it a more valuable company than rivals selling millions of cars each year. Even in the premium sector, the average margin is only 10 percent.
Porsche contributed less than 2 percent of VW group sales in 2013 but about 22 percent of its operating profit. Maserati's trading profit tripled last year but still contributed just 5 percent of Fiat profits and less than 2 percent of sales.
By 2015, Marchionne wants to be selling 50,000 Maseratis. The goal hinges on a rapid take-up of new models designed to appeal to a broader variety of driver tastes and budgets.
Maseratis are priced at around a 20 percent premium over similar-sized rival German cars, so the product offensive must not cheapen the brand.
Porsche managers faced the same dilemma two decades ago when they were mulling a cheaper sportscar to complement the 911.
The Boxster took wing in the face of deep skepticism among Porsche fans disappointed by previous failures to develop a worthy stable-mate for the 911.
An earlier 928, which broke with Porsche's tradition of rear-engine layout, had a quirky, rounded form and pop-up headlights and shared few parts with the 911. It never matched the 911's popularity and production was halted in 1995.
The Boxster blew away expectations because its styling, engineering and performance were not dramatically different to the 911 but the price made it accessible for far more customers, thanks partly to more common components shared with the 911.
It gave Porsche the confidence, and the expertise in cross-platform manufacturing, that later informed the Cayenne and the new Macan sport-utility vehicles that broke with the brand's pure racing, two-seater sportscar heritage.
"Porsche subjected itself to the most radical changes in production and management without shunning the risk of expanding into new segments," said Stefan Bratzel, head of the Center of Automotive Management think-tank near Cologne. "They managed to preserve the brand DNA which gives them special pricing power."
Fiat Chrysler has its own past failings to learn from. The Italian group has spent many years trying to craft a successful industrial entity out of a host of brands, from Fiat and Alfa Romeo to Lancia and Ferrari.
Marchionne hopes to bring Fiat Chrysler back to profit in Europe by 2016. Some analysts are skeptical of his targets for Maserati, given his record for ambitious goals that sometimes fail to materialize.
Soaring demand for ostentatious wealth symbols among the new rich of China and other emerging markets is likely to ensure some of Maserati's hoped-for sales growth.
In developed markets, success depends more on stealing customers from rivals like BMW , Mercedes , Audi and Porsche - a tougher challenge.
Like Porsche, Maserati will use its parent company's economies of scale in purchasing, production and distribution, enhanced by Fiat's marriage to Detroit icon Chrysler this year.
Fiat has invested around 1.5 billion euros to revamp a plant outside Turin, where recent models are built. It plans to invest 1 billion more at Mirafiori in Turin where its first SUV will be built from 2015. Maseratis could share assembly platforms there with higher-end models of a relaunched Alfa Romeo brand.
Such common platforms make it easier for low-volume car brands to turn a profit. Porsche has shown with the Cayenne that an expensive car can share some parts and processes with a sub-premium model - VW's Touareg - without damaging the brand.
Maserati's product offensive is the most ambitious yet for the brand founded a century ago in Bologna by five brothers and which Fiat bought in 1993.
Its line-up includes a four-door GranTurismo sedan, the two-door Quattroporte coupe and the compact, lower-priced Ghibli. They will be joined next year by its first SUV, the Levante.
The GranTurismo offers a cabriolet version, the GranCabrio, while the Ghibli is the first Maserati that also comes with a diesel engine.
The Ghibli's price tag of around 70,000 euros ($97,200) - well below the Quattroporte's 100,000 euros - seeks to attract well-heeled younger buyers. Maserati CEO Harald Wester says any further push downmarket to boost sales is not on the cards.
At the Geneva car show last month, Maserati presented a prototype of the Alfieri, a sporty two-seater which Marchionne said "could complete the Maserati line-up". He said the Alfieri was only "an indication of things to come". Maserati will give more details on its industrial plan in early May.
Amid a confusing array of vehicles to lure the world's wealthy, Marchionne is betting Maserati can still offer something unique: Italian beauty and design on the exterior and the raw horsepower of engines made by sister brand Ferrari.
"The bigger BMW, Mercedes and Audi are getting, the more consumers will look for differentiation that the 'smaller' premium and luxury brands can offer," bank Macquarie said in a note.
While such differentiation is a competitive advantage, industry consultants say it could also be Maserati's weakness.
"Maserati has a very distinctive place in the industry, but really not many people know what it is and what it stands for," said Peter Wells, head of the center for auto industry research at Cardiff University in Wales.
He said Maserati's factories and production systems were impressive, but it was not clear where the company was trying to take the brand to secure those extra sales and compete with rivals popular in emerging markets such as Jaguar.
Fiat Chrysler bosses appear to acknowledge the challenge, saying they are avoiding a faster sales push to give themselves time to develop the Maserati brand and its worldwide appeal.
Maserati aired a 90-second video spot during the Super Bowl - America's most watched football game of the year - to put the brand on the shopping list of wealthy U.S. consumers.
The advert, which said you do not have to be the biggest to take on "the giants", was very effective, said Lincoln Merrihew, an industry consultant at Millward Brown Digital.
"Maserati has a beautifully sounding name, the cars are very attractive and there is romance behind it," he said. "They need to keep that momentum, grow sales briskly - but not too fast."

Infiniti Puts Pedal To The Metal, Joins Formula One As Red Bull Racing Partner
February 28, 2011: Infiniti is taking life in the international fast lane, signing a marketing agreement with defending Formula One world champion Red Bull Racing Renault for the 2011 and 2012 F1 seasons.
Financial terms were not disclosed.
As part of the agreement, Japan-based Infiniti will have "high-profile branding presence" on the racing car, drivers clothing and related team uniforms and equipment and be involved in marketing supporting the team and Formula One events.
In addition, Infiniti said it would work with Renault to "forge future technical collaboration" with the Red Bull Racing, which will to use Renault F1 engines in 2011 and 2012. Lead drivers are Mark Webber and Sebastian Vettel.
Other car companies with Formula 1 marketing/sponsorship deals include Mercedes, Ferrari, BMW and Lotus. Red Bull also has a second team that competes in F1.
The 2011 FIA Formula One World Championship Race Calendar begins March 25 with the Formula 1 Qantas Australian Grand Prix in Melbourne and runs through Nov. 25-27.
"Over the mid-term, Infiniti will be simultaneously expanding its global presence and broadening its product range," Andy Palmer, svp for Infiniti, said in a statement. "Given these twin ambitions, it is clear that Formula One offers us an unrivalled global communications platform, complementing Infiniti's ethos of 'inspired performance.' We are excited to have the opportunity to enter Formula One together with a world-class team like Red Bull Racing Renault."
"It is clear that Formula One offers us an unrivalled global communications platform, complementing Infiniti's ethos of 'inspired performance.'"
According to Red Bull Racing Team principal Christian Horner, "Red Bull has always taken a different approach, so when the Infiniti executives outlined their innovative plan to us we were very open to working with them. Coming off the back of our 2010 drivers' and constructors' world championships, we feel even more excited to be starting the 2011 season with a new and committed partner like Infiniti."
Bernard Rey, president of Renault Sport F1, acknowledged that growth in Formula 1 "is about collaboration. To have a talented and committed alliance partner like Infiniti is very welcome as we set out on the current and future challenges in Formula One."

John McEnroe has a message for any critic trying to make sense of his exhibit at the Museum of Contemporary Art, and it translates into something like this: Buzz off. His artist's statement, blown up and posted at the gallery entrance, is written in a distinct gibberish. "Oiiy olo yllijoi lyu oii," to quote a bit of it directly.
It's easy to see this anti-statement as the aggressively unhelpful, stingy, lazy and slightly snotty gimmick that it is. Viewers, very nice people one and all, and good sports to a fault are left on their own to decipher his enigmatic work.
But it's also, in some small way, a relief, a gesture that invites us to skip the intellectualizing that can make a trip to a gallery such hard labor, and simply look. For better or worse, John McEnroe is giving us a pass.
I won't say it makes the experience of viewing "Beauty Does" simpler, though it does alter it, forcing attention off of ideas and onto materials, and this is where McEnroe is most effective. He is a master of plastic, a guru of goo, and the exhibit has plenty to look at.
Curated with precision by Nora Burnett Abrams, the show has two parts. The first is installed in the MCA's tall, two-plus story atrium where McEnroe dribbles polymers in yellows, oranges and golds from ceiling to floor. This has the effect of paint being spilled downward and hardening right in its tracks, into long, stringy drips that end in frozen puddles on the floor.
The piece isn't particularly attractive, but it serves multiple purposes. First, it brings attention to the MCA's building itself, a series of interactive compartments designed by architect David Adjayein 2007. It's a stunning structure, really, and McEnroe's adornment makes you see it that way, bringing attention to Adjaye's mix of thin and fat spaces, of walls completed and left open, of windows placed just so. Few installations play so well with the architecture around them.
It also encourages us to think differently about art itself. What is a painting really, but paint? And McEnroe's cooked spaghetti drips are only paint, without the canvas and minus the forms and limitations a painter forces upon it.
The reductive engineering is a nod to the material that makes or breaks a piece of art, and it offers credit to those artists who start off with this unruly, shapeless liquid and transform it into something managed and meaningful.
The other half of the exhibit, new 2-D and 3-D objects on the second floor, expand this exploration of materials, moving it out of the insider world of art and into everyday living. McEnroe turns what looks to be an old metal desk into a sculpture titled "Hermes & Mercury," remixing modern refuse into an updated tribute to his combo of Greek and Roman gods.
Juxtaposition is the main tool here, setting different things side-by-side and seeing what happens. In the photograph "Landscape 2," he shoots what looks to be an upside-down, artificial Christmas tree next to a plastic chair. Both items are manufactured, though each takes on its own form, texture and character.
It's not just the physical characteristics of materials that are measured against one another, but their essence. In one untitled piece hanging from the ceiling, McEnroe encases sand into a huge rain drop of resin, and for the wall relief, "White Tie," he captures a long stretch of twisting, curling rope in a rectangle of hard resin.
Both pieces instantly interrupt the fluidity of their held material. They are organic and finagled at the same time and terrific examples of what McEnroe, in his own way, might describe as "Oiiy olo yllijoi lyu oii."
Truth told, McEnroe doesn't really need a statement that makes sense. He's one of Denver's busiest artists, and his work, highly visible over the past decade, is a suitable explanation of itself.
Few artists have been as adept at using the various platforms available in a medium-sized city like ours. His large works, like "Model State," the flat-black model kits that hang on the wall at the Colorado Convention Center, employ the large geometry that makes public art a success. His commercial shows, like his recent tree stump polymer casts at Robischon Gallery, supply the sellable wares that keep art a thriving business. His high-minded museum work, at MCA and the Denver Art Museum let him, and the rest of us, experience creativity at a deeper level.
Collectively, the work defines contemporary art as it exists in a thoughtful metropolis today and, in a way, it defines Denver itself. We are in this interpretation smart, open-minded and diverse in our tastes, a very nice people, for sure, and good sports, too.

PHOENIX -- New York Giants co-owner Steve Tisch said he's "anxious'' another team will "probably'' make an offer to restricted free-agent slot receiver Victor Cruz.
But he also vowed, "We're going to go as far as we can go to keep him on the team,''
Turns out that team won't be the Indianapolis Colts as owner Jim Irsay led some to believe with his teasing tweets about taking the last five days to put together an offer for a wide receiver.
FREE AGENCY: Why teams are doling out fewer big deals
"It's not Cruz, no,'' Irsay said at the owner's meetings inside the Arizona Biltmore resort Sunday night,
If the Giants refuse to match any offer, they would receive a first-round pick as compensation after protecting themselves by tendering the undrafted receiver and popular Paterson, N.J. native at a first-round restricted free-agent tender.
"It's the reality of this period of free agency. Is it likely? Probably,'' Tisch said of a potential offer for the 26-year-old slot receiver. "Then, we're going to have to deal with it.
"We're addressing that it's possible and then we'll address the reality when it happens.''
Tisch cited the recent deals signed by new New England Patriots receiver Danny Amendola for five years, $31 million and former Patriot Wes Welker's two-year, $12-million signing with the Denver Broncos as setting the slot receiver benchmark average of $6-million per season for Cruz.
NFL: Running backs don't take kindly to new rule
"I think Victor is going to get a little higher than that,'' Tisch said. "Wes has been in the league longer. I'm really hopeful that I think Victor emotionally would like to stay with the Giants. I don't know if that's a tangible factor. I hope it is when you make a decision like this.''
Cruz has 168 catches, including 19 touchdowns for 2,628 yards, since his breakout 82-catch, 1,536-yard 2011 season. The wide receiver recently changed agents to CAA's Tom Condon, who also represents Giants quarterback Eli Manning
"His agent change is a positive,'' Tisch said. "I have the utmost respect for Tom Condon. He's one of the top agents in the business and has been for a long time.
"We've had a number of dealings with Tom over the years, especially with Eli. We know Tom and Tom knows us. That's a good situation, not a bad situation. And it creates a shorthand that benefits both the Giants and Tom and his client.''

Fishing can be a phenomenal and fun activity for children and youngsters. Fishing can be a very fulfilling sport; you and your family can fish rather than dealing with the hectic routines of day to day life in Blythe, and enjoy the outdoors. Families regularly enjoy the outside air, find out about the earth, and even create great memories. Best of all, fishing is quality time spent together talking, laughing and sitting next to each other. It can be a perfect game for little children, on the off chance that you present it emphatically. For some families, the experience of fishing with live bait, and catching fish that later become dinner, can be a memory making experience that lasts a lifetime.
Here are some of the thought to make your fishing trip successful in Blythe with your kids.

Check Out A Few Of These Great Fishing Tips!Taitai6769/iStock/Getty Images
A surprising number of boats sink each year due to inadequate safe-bailing systems, whether at dock or out on the water. Self-bailing boats, or self-bailing hulls, are designed to remove water from the boat deck or cockpit area. The water is discharged overboard through the transom, the "back wall" of the boat. Self-bailing, actually being somewhat of a misnomer, means that gravity and momentum are used to rid a boat of unwanted water. There are other systems that provide assistance in eliminating water, and a boat owner should know how each one operates in conjunction with the all-encompassing term of self-bailing.

Time-of-use rates will leave some consumers sweating
SAN FRANCISCO (AP) — California utilities regulators are considering a new electricity pricing system that would likely result in bigger bills for most ratepayers.
The California Public Utilities Commission will study and vote on whether to change the standard price of electricity depending on the time of day it was used, rather than the current system based on the amount of power consumed, according to the San Francisco Chronicle (http://bit.ly/1aQYhQu).
Proponents say the new pricing scheme would encourage conservation during afternoons when demand is at its peak.
Consumer advocates say the pricing changes would likely raise bills significantly for people in hot areas who rely on air conditioning.
Ratepayers would still have the option of choosing a flat rate, which would rise for those using the least electricity and be reduced for the largest power users.
An average PG&E customer currently pays about $75 per month; under the new "time-of-use" system that customer would see a 16-percent increase in rates, to about $87.
If that same customer chooses the flat rate option, it would be a 13-percent increase, or about $85.
The changes would apply only to customers of investor-owned utilities like Pacific Gas & Electric Co., not municipal utilities like those in Los Angeles and Sacramento.
The new pricing system would benefit the largest electricity users, who would save 17 percent under the time of use system and 14 percent under the flat rate.
Some see the idea as unfair to people in the Central Valley and other areas where 100-degree weather is commonplace.
"When it's 100 degrees out, I'm not sure it's reasonable to ask anyone to do without their air conditioning,"Matthew Freedman, an attorney with The Utility Reform Network, told the newspaper. "There's a rude awakening that lies ahead if the PUC pushes ahead on time-of-use pricing. The potential for a customer backlash is real."
But the system is meant to fix a pricing scheme that currently charges significantly more for heavy electricity users.
The commission says people in the lower pay tiers now do not pay enough to cover the costs of sending electricity to their homes, which led upper-tier customers to complain to state lawmakers.
After those complaints, the Legislature authorized the CPUC to overhaul the pricing system.
If approved the new system could start being implemented in 2015.

The Mutant Eyeball Decapitators are coming! The Mutant Eyeball Decapitators are coming!
Field Wreckporter Lydia A. reports that these insidious body-snatchers have abducted a bevy of ballroom dancers, and are currently terrorizing local bakeries' display cases. They carry the heads of their hapless victims and are often accompanied by disgusting black squid-like creatures, which has prompted at least one 8-year-old boy to declare them "way cool". Readers are encouraged to keep an eye out for these monstrous mini-menaces.
And by the by, these perfectly illustrate my #1 problem with doll cakes: synthetic hair in the frosting = me being reintroduced to breakfast the unpleasant way. Yech.
UPDATE: It's official: y'all are feeling the love for mutant eyeball cakes. Who knew? :)

Apple's decision to fire Scott Forstall may have been a mistake, according to Michael Lopp, a director at Palantir, and formerly a senior engineer at Apple.
Forstall "was the best approximation of Steve Jobs that Apple had left," says Lopp. "In my years at Apple, the Caffe Macs chatter about Forstall was that he was the only legit successor to Jobs." Caffe Macs is the Apple cafeteria.
Why was Forstall seen as the next Steve Jobs? Because he was a jerk, but he was always successful, and no one could figure out how he did it.
While Forstall was disliked by his fellow executives, Lopp thought that was a good thing. He believes that Apple's ability to innovate came from tension and disagreement.
He points to Apple's press release announcing the departure of Forstall. The first sentence of release reads, "Apple today announced executive management changes that will encourage even more collaboration between the Company's world-class hardware, software and services teams."
Lopp zeroed in on the word, "collaboration," and cautioned that it could spell doom for Apple: "Close your eyes and imagine a meeting with Steve Jobs. Imagine how it proceeds and how decisions are made. Does the word collaboration ever enter your mind? Not mine."

Hello all,
Just wondering if anyone else with a Seaward PrimeTest 250 is having the same issue as me.
Recently purchased the aforementioned unit; familiarising myself with it, Class one & Class two tests seem fine, took a minute to figure out that I had to unplug the special mains lead before I could carry out IEC/Extension lead tests, but that's what happens when you read the manual and don't look at the picture on page 11. Muppet.
So this week I began PATing with earnest in our workshop, all tools and appliances A* pass. 70+ appliances - who knew it took so long!
However here's the thing - today I started on extension leads and each one is failing with an 'OPEN' fault. Hmmmm, three leads in and I'm getting suspicious. Opening up either end of the lead yields no problems, testing with a small multimeter/continuity tester indicates there's no problem, all connections/continuities are okay.
Aha I say, the included Seaward little red lead must be duff. So I test that on its own. 'OPEN' fault. Gotcha.
But then I test the little devil with my multimeter/continuity tester, and that says it's okay. And so does a second multimeter.
And in the interests of completeness I also grab another short IEC lead and test that as well - 'OPEN' 'FAIL'.
So I think my PrimeTest is up the swanny. But what do you think? Have I missed something? Is portable appliance testing not my calling?
Should I box her up and send her home?
Greatly appreciate any feedback, no matter how vague or mildly derogatory.
Ta, Sarah

Few suffer as cheerfully for their art as Johnny Knoxville and his band of scatological stuntmeisters, and the gut-busting pleasure they take in every act of self-humiliation proves as infectious as ever in "Jackass 3D." Gimmicky tech upgrade aside, this typically haphazard (and just plain hazardous) sequel works for the same reasons the MTV franchise has always worked: a joyous, liberated approach to comedy, a genuine sense of the grotesque and pacing so relentless that even the less-than-uproarious bits don't overstay their welcome. Premium 3D ticket prices and fan loyalty should keep B.O. grosses higher than a geyser of excrement.
That image, rest assured, comes straight from the movie, specifically a segment in which a miniature diorama is desecrated by some poopy projectiles courtesy of one of Knoxville's fellow pranksters. (The gang's all here: Bam Margera, Ryan Dunn, Steve-O, Jason "Wee Man" Acuna, Preston Lacy, Chris Pontius, "Danger Ehren" McGhehey and Dave England.) It's a more extreme version of a similarly revolting gag from 2006's "Jackass Number Two," and indeed, during the many strung-together stunts, pratfalls and interstitial jokes that make up "Jackass 3D" (directed, like its predecessors, by Jeff Tremaine), it's clear we're watching a series of variations on a tried-and-true comic formula — clever enough to maintain interest, yet never rising above utter stupidity.
Once again, these overgrown boys must navigate an extremely painful obstacle course, this one consisting of Tasers dangling on strings. For the umpteenth time, Margera's parents prove impossibly good sports, this time when they're ambushed by a guy in a pretty convincing gorilla suit. As always, the onscreen puking is plentiful and cathartic; seeing people vomit after a sequence as stomach-churning as "Sweatsuit Cocktail" somehow has a palate-cleansing effect.
And it wouldn't be a "Jackass" movie if Knoxville and a few equally masochistic cohorts didn't stand in the path of an oncoming bull (plus a ram and a few buffalo), or allow themselves to be catapulted in wheelbarrows and shopping carts with no possibility of a soft landing. Or, for that matter, if a fearlessly full-frontal Pontius didn't go beyond the call of duty by subjecting his genitalia to all manner of dangerously athletic displays ("Helicockter," anyone?).
A few segments do bring some gruesome innovation to the table: McGhehey endures a spot of amateur dentistry in "Lamborghini Tooth Pull," and "Beehive Tetherball" is pretty much exactly what it sounds like. Otherwise, freshness is in short supply, even with the enhancement of 3D and generally improved production values; aside from the inevitable shot of a dildo flying directly at the viewer's eyeballs, the decent stereoscopic conversion mainly allows for multiple gratuitously slo-mo, depth-accentuated sequences in which the guys' faces are assaulted by fists, often with boxing gloves.
But novelty has never been a prerequisite for hilarity with this franchise, and "Jackass 3D," like its forerunners, offers the spectacle of comedy pared down to its barest essence, stripped of the distractions of motivation, purpose and narrative. There's a certain purity to the way these jokers relentlessly pursue their oral/anal fixations, and their eagerness to degrade themselves is curiously ennobling. The troupe's likability goes a long way toward making it all go down easy; even their socially transgressive stunts, as when Knoxville dons his familiar dirty-old-man prosthetics, never approach Sacha Baron Cohen levels of mean-spirited anarchy.
Though they appear to be in pretty good health, all things considered, Knoxville and Co. are a decade older than they were when the series began, and there are moments here that suggest they may have taken "Jackass" as far as it can go — perhaps too far. "Why do I have to be Steve-O?" Steve-O wonders aloud, shortly before taking a baseball to the groin. Margera, thrown into a pit full of snakes, nearly breaks down in a not-so-funny scene whose inclusion almost suggests a degree of auto-critique, as if the filmmakers were finally questioning the ethics of their shock-and-haw tactics.
Still, they have every reason to continue if they can keep cooking up setpieces as memorable as the pic's unmistakable highlight, which merges the physical horrors of a Port-A-Potty with the visceral thrills of a theme-park ride. The result is an image as hideous as any "Jackass" has produced, but from a conceptual standpoint, it's a thing of what can only be described as beauty.

Here is a video of the moron who brought an assault rifle to a Town Hall Meeting attended by President Obama. This was a publicity stunt, coordinated with local police.
What is being missed here, is several Laws which have to do with the President. The first is – wherever the President is, is Federal Land temporarily during his presence. This is done such that the Federal Protective Services and the Secret Service have jurisdiction, and the authority to operate in the State. It also gives them precedence over State authorities in a protective zone around the President.
As such, the applicable law here is Federal… Not State.
The Secret Service is perfectly within the Law to arrest and lock up the bozos, and try them for violations of Federal Law.
Vodpod videos no longer available.
The second group of laws allows the Secret Service to establish "Free Speech Zones" around the President. This was done extensively during the Bushit Administration to hide and suppress protesters. Now, there is a lot of argument about the Constitutionality of such, especially if it is utilized as the Bushit Administration did to suppress political opponents rights to Free Speech. And I agree, the sort of suppression of Free Speech done during the Bushit Administration more closely resembled a Fascist or Communist dictatorial regime than American ideals.
BUT… A valid argument can also be made that when a person brings a gun to a Public Meeting, that such is an actual threat against the Free Speech of people who disagree with them. A cornerstone of Law Enforcement Authority in this country is the implied threat of an Officer carrying a weapon. As such, a protester carrying a loaded gun to a Town Hall style meeting of opposing viewpoints is inherently doing so to suppress the Free Speech Rights of those speaking out against that person's position.
As such, serving the Constitutional guarantee of Free Speech would be either arresting and charging these bozos illegally carrying guns under Federal Law, or locking them away in "Free Speech Zones" out of possible range of physically threatening or harming other protesters.
Unarmed protesters should be allowed to yell at each other to their heart's content, and should not be subject to cloister or suppression by placing them in isolated Free Speech Zones as the Bushit Administration did.

Who are Britain's best-dressed men? Which look best defines the essence of British style? Britain's 50 Best Dressed Men showcased the nation's most fabulous fellows, from quintessential English gentlemen to sexy Scots.
Carefully selected from Getty Images Gallery's comprehensive photographic collections and GQ magazine's editorial archive, the exhibition was a fascinating assortment - an eclectic mix of the male personalities defining the moods and attitudes of men's fashion through the eras.
It included the classic cool of 007, cheeky pop icon Robbie Williams, the sultry screen presence of Brit actor Jude Law, original cockney rebel Michael Caine, 60s playboy George Best and Mancunian mop-top Liam Gallagher.
Do you favour the caddish, lounge-lizard style of Oliver Reed and Terry Thomas or the bespectacled sophistication of Peter Sellers and Jarvis Cocker? Either way, this exhibition challenged perceptions of what makes the British man 'cool'.
The photos, wittily captioned by the writers at GQ, covered all aspects of male fashion from smartly-tailored cuts to the downright flamboyant. Picked for their individual sense of style and carriage, the chosen few displayed the timeless quirks that make them ever popular with the public. Where else could you find Johnny Rotten next to Winston Churchill, Adam Ant next to David Niven, and Ewan McGregor alongside Alec Guinness?
Britain's 50 Best Dressed Men exhibition was organised by Getty Images Gallery in association with GQ magazine.
Britain's 50 Best Dressed Men originally appeared in May 2004 edition of GQ Magazine, published by Conde Nast.
Getty Images Gallery is the world's leading imagery company, creating and providing the largest and most relevant collection of still and moving images to communication professionals around the world.

Indiana humorist Kin Hubbard had a problem with graduation speeches: He felt that the really important stuff should be spread out over all four years, rather than saved up for one address at the end.
When legislative budget staffers were looking into ways to balance the state's budget during the 2009 session, they happened onto the fact that Pinnacol Assurance, the quasi-public agency that serves as the insurer of last resort for workers' compensation, had reserves in excess of half a billion dollars more than appeared to be necessary. When legislative leaders suggested taking some of the money to address budget issues, the reaction from Pinnacol, business interests and Pinnacol customers was swift. They said the state should keep its hands off.
In early May, our office learned that four people in the metro area had jewelry and cash stolen from their homes after opening the door to people calling themselves "neighbors." As the weather becomes nicer, watch for this and other door-to-door scams.
Be savvy if approached by traveling home improvement contractors, magazine salespersons, or any stranger who comes to the door. Of course, not everyone who comes to your door has bad intentions. We simply advise a healthy dose of caution and a firm "no" if necessary.
Our children can often bear the brunt during tough economic times. Moms or dads may be out of work. Money is tight. Stress due to financial pressures mounts. The chances of children in at-risk families being victimized tend to increase.
In Colorado each year, more than 50,000 reports of child abuse and neglect are filed and more than 11,000 children enter foster care. In 2009, Jefferson County ranked fifth in the state for the number of abuse and neglect filings. Although that ranking is down a notch from the previous year, the ranking is both alarming and unacceptable.
In 1983, the Baltimore Colts selected John Elway with the first pick in that year's NFL draft. Elway had no interest in playing for the Colts, and said he would play professional baseball if they took him. So the Colts traded Elway to the Broncos for two players and a first-round pick in the 1984 draft. The rest is history.
Since then, Broncos drafts have been pretty ordinary. No big headlines, no huge stories.
Until this year.
Sometimes the story isn't as big a deal as the story about the story. How much different would United States history look if, the day after the Watergate break-in, President Nixon had said, "Campaigns make people do crazy things," instead of getting involved in the cover-up that led to his resignation?
While there is little doubt there is nothing in Scott McInnis' tax returns or John Hickenlooper's charitable contributions that rise to the level of Watergate, the principle is the same. The longer questions persist, the bigger the story gets.
Two weeks ago, my kids returned home from school with new backpacks. The green bags — which more resembled re-usable grocery totes — touted the U.S. census, proclaiming "Be counted" in several languages, with a backdrop of multi-colored hands.
Before Coloradans went to their precinct caucuses last month, it looked like U.S. Sen. Michael Bennet and former lieutenant governor Jane Norton were on their way to meeting in a combative and expensive race for Colorado's U.S. Senate seat. What a difference a month makes!
As the Constitutional Convention wrapped up in September 1786, a woman approached Benjamin Franklin and asked him, "Well, doctor, what have we got — a republic or a monarchy?"
"A republic," Franklin replied, "if you can keep it."
With precinct caucuses now in the books, the 2010 election season is officially under way. Caucuses are an important first step in the nominating process, through which each major party selects its nominees for the general election this fall.
With the exception of presidential nominations, there isn't much public attention given to the way parties pick their candidates. It's as though each November we're presented with a ballot listing a Democrat, a Republican and perhaps one or more third-party candidates, with the winner assuming public office.
In the last few years in Jefferson County, we've seen emergencies ranging from wildfires to paralyzing blizzards to a school shooting. Events like these can plunge families into chaos, panic and confusion.
Having an emergency plan ahead of time can help you communicate with, reconnect with, and protect your family. Every situation is different, but if you prepare for a wide range of possibilities, you'll be better equipped to deal with a crisis.
Leave it to voters to prove that they have something to say about elections!
This week marks the halfway point of the Colorado General Assembly's 120-day 2010 session. The state's fiscal woes have dominated the session to this point. The legislature has adopted a package of bills that raised revenues by eliminating a variety of tax exemptions as well as approving a 32-bill package that reduced spending by state agencies for the current fiscal year that ends June 30.
Last week's shootings at Deer Creek Middle School were an awful reminder of the events at Columbine and Platte Canyon. Yet in the midst of our concern for the two wounded students, there was also cause to celebrate the heroic actions of Dr. David Benke, a math teacher whose split-second decision to tackle the shooter undoubtedly saved lives. Popular culture provides ubiquitous references of heroism — "Guitar Hero," sports heroes and mythical superheroes come to mind.
Mr. Biggs is not family friendly
Editor's note: The following letter was originally submitted to the Jefferson County Liquor Licensing Authority.
I am writing to express my concern about the presence of the Mr. Biggs establishment in my neighborhood.
A few years ago, my husband and I took our then 3-year-old there for an afternoon of fun. I believe the business was "Fat City" then. We had a nice time and felt safe and comfortable there.
In response to the Feb. 10 Columbine Courier article regarding issues between Foothills Park & Recreation District and the Mesa View Estates HOA, I would like to provide further detail. This is an extremely complex issue, and it is important the residents of our district are fully informed.
Oliver needed a friend.
The 9-year-old chihuahua mix was sick, missing about half his teeth and hadn't had a place to call home for more than a year. He was a hefty14 pounds — a bit much for a pooch his size, likely due to months of inactivity and a poor diet.
Things weren't looking good for him in general.
He was scheduled to die on Jan. 19 at a metro-area animal shelter.
Few industries have gone from boom to bust as quickly as newspapers.
In 1989, I was working for the Rocky Mountain News, and times were good. Really good. Our circulation was soaring, and ad sales were humming along.
Fast-forward 20 years, and many things have changed. The Rocky has disappeared, and several other major dailies have followed that same path to extinction. Craigslist has drained away classified advertising. The current economic downturn is taking its toll. And of course readers are turning to the Internet for their news and away from print publications.
The Jeffco school board took serious actions on Jan. 14 related to managing school facility capacity. The district's student population has steadied at about 80,000-plus kids, and students "choicing" in and out of neighborhood schools have affected the numbers of kids at different schools.
Ken Caryl Middle School was on the block at one point so Jeffco could fill more seats at Deer Creek Middle School. A walk-through of the Deer Creek facility showed insufficient library, gym and cafeteria space for the roughly 1,200 kids that would be in that building.
