PICS: Is THIS Art? Or a Narcissistic Show of Excess?
Tuesday, May 29th, 2012
..I'm leaning towards the latter.
Yeah, THIS happened. Francesca Eastwood — daughter of Clint Eastwood and current reality star — is said to be receiving death threats after she was photographed by her boyfriend Tyler Shields destroying and burning a Birkin valued at over $100,000.
I understand the demand for these bags, I watch Sex and the City. Ask Lucy Liu if this is acceptable!
So anyway, here are the pictures. Yeah, I agree the whole thing is ridic. What gets me more is not that he did this, but that he purchased a bag for $100,000. Is it gross to me that someone could literally throw away what is easily worth a house to us common folk? Sure. But maybe I don't appreciate art.
What do you think?

In four career games against the New Orleans Saints, DeMarcus Ware has six tackles and four sacks to his credit. Facing the Saints, always seems to bring out the best of Ware's game and they will need his best as he returns to the lineup after missing the last three games and part of another one with a Quad injury. For a defense that is desperate for pass rushers, Ware should be the perfect tonic against a Saints squad that throws the ball all over the yard with Drew Brees. Ware will be matchup with Charles Brown, who on tape, has had his share of issues this season when it comes to pass protection. What Ware can do to Brown is take advantage of his lack of movement. I did not see a great foot athlete here and when he tried to work to the outside, he tended to be a little slow to secure the edge. I believe that Brown will be looking to guard his edge and Payton can even give him help to the outside with a back or tight end but I have also seen Brown give up a sack on an inside move and the Buffalo game which resulted in a sack. If there was ever a time where a player with Ware's ability to effect a game, this is it. Working next to
The Weapon:
The last time that Dez Bryant lined up against the New Orleans Saints, he gashed them with nine catches for 224 yards and two touchdowns. For Bryant, it was a career day yardage wise and I am sure one that these Saints defensive backs surely will remember. In watching the Saints play the last several weeks, Bryant will get press man coverage like he saw in Kansas City and it will come from either Keenan Lewis or Jabari Greer. From my experience with Rob Ryan he is going to try and lock Bryant down with one of those corners and worry about not allowing
Under The Radar:
I understand there are questions about this Cowboys offense, whether Jason Garrett and Bill Callahan will strive for more balance as they tell us they desire. As much as I would like to see
New Orleans Saints
The Nemesis: Drew Brees
Since Drew Brees moved from the San Diego Chargers, to the New Orleans Saints, he has made four career starts against the Dallas Cowboys. In that time period, he has tossed 10 touchdown, with only two interceptions. This is really nothing new for Drew Brees who has been outstanding, no matter who he has faced in his career. What makes Brees special in my opinion, is his command of the position. He truly has a gift in the way he plays the position. No quarterback in the league takes advantage of the physical traits like he does. He is not the tallest nor the quickness but it's rare that you see him making a mistake. His accuracy and touch are amazing when you watch him play. You do not see receivers have to work to catch the ball. He can hit receivers on the move and you see them never breaking stride. He can throw the ball deep with touch. He throws a very easy ball to catch. He can process a defense quickly and if he feels like he is going to get pressure, he can get the ball outside quickly to allow the receiver to make the play. He is a difficult quarterback to sack because he is always moving in the pocket. Teams that have trapped him have been able to do it through the middle of the pocket. This Cowboys defense has played against some great quarterbacks but he might be the best.
The Weapon: Jimmy GrahamAs difficult as the Calvin Johnson matchup was for this Cowboys defense, having to find a way to deal with Jimmy Graham, could be worse. The decision that Monte Kiffin and this defensive staff is going to have to make is how to do play Graham? He has a tight end build with wide receiver moves and catching ability. He is nimble up the field and for how tall he is, he can get in and out of his breaks with ease. No matter where Drew Brees throws him the ball, he is going to find a way to come down with it. He is outstanding in space when in the open field but he can also make contested catches with a man on his back. He works very well in a small area around the goal line or they can put him out wide or in the slot as a receiver and let him operate that way. Kiffin might choose to treat him like a receiver and walk
Under The Radar: Kenny VaccaroThere were thoughts on draft day last April that the Dallas Cowboys were in serious discussions about selecting University of Texas safety, Kenny Vaccaro. The Cowboys, since the days of Roy Williams and Darren Woodson were struggling with their safety play and Vaccaro was viewed as a player that could not only play in this Cover 2 scheme but if also asked, could cover down in the slot and carry a receiver up the field. The questions about Vaccaro were not about the athletic things he could do but how well could he tackle when he had to make a play. There is no question that he is a physical player and when given the chance to stick his nose in there, he will. But there are times, like in college that you see him go low on tackles and not completely wrap up. I do like the way that Rob Ryan is using him in this scheme. He is walking him down in the box and playing him like an extra linebacker to handle the run or deal with the routes underneath. My feeling is that Ryan is not going to allow Jason Witten to beat him in this game and he will take Vaccaro and put him over the top and physically cover Witten that way. Ryan could also use him as a blitzer off the edge in some packages to try and get home before Romo has a chance to get the ball off. The bottom line is for a team that struggled so badly at the safety position like the Cowboys, the Saints were just as poor and the drafting of Kenny Vaccaro has at least given them a chance to be better in the future.

Olympic gold medal winner Oscar "Blade Runner" Pistorius, the double amputee charged with the shooting murder of his girlfriend Reeva Steenkamp at his home on Feb. 13, 2013, has reached a settlement in an entirely different case – an assault case dating back to 2009.
MSN reported on Feb. 12 that Pistorius' lawyers have reached an agreement with Cassidy Taylor-Memmory, who had accused Pistorius of assault. Taylor-Memmory claimed to have been injured at a house party in 2009 when Pistorius allegedly slammed a door and then punched it.
Taylor-Memmory said she was injured from that breaking door. Pistorius was arrested for assault following that incident.
Pistorius launched a counter claim against Taylor-Memmory, accusing her of making up the assault. He said he was arrested without reason.
The Washington Post reported that Pistorius agreed to the settlement "because his lawyers advised him he could not fight civil and criminal legal battles at the same time."
Regarding those legal battles, Pistorius and his legal team are currently also in negotiations with the family of his deceased girlfriend, Reeva Steenkamp. Pistorius hopes to settle out of court in that case before he goes to trial for Steenkamp's murder.
Pistorius is scheduled to appear in a South African courtroom on March 3 when his murder trial in the Steenkamp case gets underway. In addition to being charged with Steenkamp's premeditated murder, Pistorius is also facing firearm charges in that case.
He [Pistorius] denies murder and claims he shot Steenkamp by mistake after believing she was a dangerous nighttime intruder in his bathroom.
For more on the Oscar Pistorius murder trial, see the video accompanying this article.

Alternative Camel DSL
Scalaz-Camel: fully leveraging 'what Scala and Scalaz offers for functional programming.'
Scalaz-Camel is a new project that provides an alternative DSL to Camel's existing Java DSL and Scala DSL, but what advantages does Scalaz-Camel have over the existing DSLs? JAXenter spoke to Talend software architect and Scalaz-Camel owner Martin Krasser.
JAXenter: What is the scalaz-camel project?
Martin Krasser: The scalaz-camel project is an attempt to combine enterprise integration patterns (EIPs) with functional programming (FP): integration solutions are composed from EIPs with a functional domain-specific language (DSL) that is based on the Scala programming language and the Scalaz functional programming library. For providing connectivity to other systems over different protocols and APIs, scalaz-camel uses the integration components from Apache Camel.
The scalaz-camel DSL is a set of combinators and composition operators, used to compose message processors and messaging endpoints to complete message processing routes. Components of message processing routes can be plain Scala functions, existing Camel message processors and endpoints as well as other routes or route fragments. Composition flexibility, extensibility of the DSL and idiomatic use of Scala and Scalaz have been important aspects in the design of the scalaz-camel DSL.
Further key features are support for non-blocking routing and asynchronous message processors. This was achieved with a continuation-passing style (CPS) API. CPS is mainly used internally, the DSL supports direct-style programming. Scalaz-camel also uses concurrency strategies to abstract over the way how messages are routed concurrently. Applications can either choose from a number of predefined concurrency strategies or implement highly specialized custom strategies, if needed. Configurable concurrency strategies and support for non-blocking routing are important prerequisites for building highly scalable and concurrent integration solutions.
Furthermore, messages are immutable objects in scalaz-camel so that they can be easily shared by concurrent messages processors. The project also provides a bridge to the mutable counterparts in Camel which allows a reuse of all existing Camel message processors and components/endpoints in scalaz-camel applications.
A more detailed overview of scalaz-camel features is given in the project's Wiki,
JAXenter: How does the scalaz-camel DSL differ from Camel's existing Java DSL and Scala DSL?
Martin Krasser: Camel's Java and Scala DSL is a fluent API based on the builder pattern. In my opinion, the Camel DSL partly tries to mimic a functional programming style without being able to offer application developers the full power of a functional programming language. This is where the scalaz-camel DSL comes in. It fully leverages what Scala and Scalaz offers for functional programming: message processors and endpoint producers are (or can be converted to) first-class functions that can be composed in a monadic or applicative way. Monadic composition with the >=> operator is done for processors that depend on each other such as message processors in a pipeline, whereas applicative composition is done for message processors that can run independent of each other such as the destinations in a recipient-list, for example. For applicative composition, scalaz-camel offers special combinators (multicast, scatter, ...).
One doesn't need to be an FP expert to use the scalaz-camel DSL. Basic Scala knowledge is sufficient for getting started. This is comparable to using Scala's List or Option without needing to know that these are monads.
Another important difference is that the scalaz-camel DSL is extensible. Adding a new integration pattern is as simple as defining a new function and importing that function. This allows, for example, other libraries to easily contribute DSL extensions from a subdomain, such as eHealth-Integration, without needing to modify scalaz-camel itself. This is in contrast to the Camel DSL which follows a more monolithic approach. Any extension to the DSL must be made in the core of Apache Camel which is a limitation for the evolution of other DSLs based on Apache Camel.
JAXenter: Can you give us an example use case of Scalaz-Camel?
Martin Krasser: Both scalaz-camel and Apache Camel can be used to achieve the same goal: construct integration solutions by combining EIPs and other message processors to larger message-processing applications. They only differ in their programming paradigms and idioms, where scalaz-camel follows the functional programming paradigm.
This means that all usage example of Apache Camel are also valid usage examples of scalaz-camel. A simple scalaz-camel usage example from the order processing domain is given in the project's Wiki. It's a tutorial for getting started with scalaz-camel. Further usage examples are given in the project's test specifications.
JAXenter: What's on your 'to do' list for the project?
Martin Krasser: For the upcoming 0.3 release I want to focus on the following items.
- Support for further enterprise integration patterns
- Support for transactions and redeliveries
- Akka integration
- More examples
- Performance profiling
- Documentation extensions
- Use of HawtDispatch
This list is preliminary. Any feedback, ideas and suggestions for improvements are highly welcome and can be added to the project's issue tracker.

Little white lies cost car insurers $15 billion
Some drivers aren't totally truthful about how far they drive and how often, meaning they're underpaying for car insurance.
This post comes from Des Toups at partner site CarInsurance.com.
It seems your auto insurance company has inadvertently left some of its money in your pocket.
A lot of it, in fact.
Quality Planning, which validates policy information for insurers, says it has found more than $15 billion in missed revenue for 2010, nearly one-tenth of the $164 billion in auto insurance coverage written last year.
The biggest culprit was misreported mileage. Drivers either underestimated the number of miles they drove each year, or their commutes were longer or more frequent than they reported. Quality Planning said insurers would have charged $3 billion more if these driver-reported numbers had been accurate.
To an insurer, mileage is risk. That's why they often reward low-mileage drivers (the threshold varies by company, but under 7,500 miles a year is a good bet for a discount) and those who commute fewer days. Wouldn't you feel safer if you never had to take to the road at rush hour? Post continues below.
The second biggest "leakage" factor was unreported drivers (people who regularly drove a vehicle but weren't declared on the policy) at $2.7 billion in missed premiums, followed by misrepresented driver characteristics such as years of experience, age, marital status, affinity groups and student grades, at $1.9 billion.
Generally, every licensed driver in a household must be included on your auto insurance policy. And so must anyone who regularly drives the car, even people to whom you are not related. An insurer will probably pay your claim -- but you could be on the hook retroactively for the difference in premiums. Need we even say that you'll pay more going forward?
Insurers use self-reported information about your marital status, years of driving experience and student grades to help calculate a car insurance quote. Every question they ask is part of their risk-evaluation process. If Elks Lodge members are entitled to an affinity discount and you've lied about membership, you've changed a component of your premium.
The newly released report, "Auto Insurance Industry Donates $15.4 Billion," analyzed 5 million policies from multiple carriers.

Sensational skiing
France is the most popular Alpine country for British skiers and snowboarders. It took advantage of being comparatively late to join the pantheon of ski nations. Unlike Austria and Switzerland, where skiing evolved gradually from mountain villages, France didn't build many of its most famous resorts (such as Les Arcs, La Plagne and Avoriaz) until the 1960s, so it was possible to select the highest, most snow-sure places to ski in France. However the initial high-rise "space-age" architecture began to pall as the decades unfolded and during the 21st century there's been a trend to build any new accommodation in a more rustic, sympathetic style alongside the original concrete towers.
There are of course some traditional French ski resorts, of which the chic resort of Megève is a prime example. And the upmarket resort of Courchevel is another area that blossomed early in the history of French skiing. Courchevel is a key gateway to the vast area of the 'Les Trois Vallées (The Three Valleys) which is arguably the biggest linked ski region in the world. Its only rival is the Portes du Soleil network of ski areas (with Avoriaz and Morzine at its heart) which spreads across the French border into Switzerland. The Three Valleys is dominated by four major resorts: Courchevel, Méribel, Les Menuires and Val Thorens – the highest ski resort in the Alps. Each of these four resorts has more than enough terrain to keep a skier or boarder happily occupied for a week or more during a skiing holiday in France, so the opportunity to ski all four provides unlimited permutations.
In the Portes du Soleil, neighbouring Avoriaz and Morzine are gateways to a dozen or more family ski resorts in France and Switzerland. Chamonix, dominated by the Mont Blanc Massif, is another major attraction with several resorts scattered along the valley, including Argentière, rated by some keen off-piste skiers and boarders as one of the best ski resorts in France - or the entire Alps for that matter. They will also be keen to try the Vallée Blanche – a classic off-piste descent - with a high-mountain guide. The traditional route is not seriously demanding, leaving skiers to concentrate on the outstanding scenery, but a guide will help negotiate the occasional crevasse. There are a handful of more demanding alternative routes including the Vraie Vallée Blanche and the Envers du Plan.
Another resort overlooked by the imperious Mont Blanc is Flaine, linked with a handful of sibling resorts, with some of the most extensive slopes in France. That's even more true of the Espace Killy – the linked areas of Val d'Isère and Tignes - named after the celebrated Olympic triple-gold medallist Jean-Claude Killy. Together these neighbouring resorts provide some of the most exciting skiing in France, particularly for off-piste enthusiasts. Tignes has the added advantage of regular glacier skiing on the Grande Motte glacier.
Two more giants of the French skiing world which are joined at the hip and undoubtedly among the best family ski resorts in France are La Plagne and Les Arcs. They're celebrating their 10-year-partnership as Paradiski, made possible by a huge cable car linking the resorts which opened in 2003. La Plagne has a dozen or so linked hamlets and villages spread across slopes in all directions, while Les Arcs too, like Courchevel, has a handful of ski villages and satellite resorts at various altitudes.
Further south in the French Alps are two more favourites: Les 2 Alpes and Alpe d'Huez. And in the same part of the world, just as those in search of culture and impressive architecture in Austria are drawn to Innsbruck and Kitzbühel, one of the big attractions for ski holidays in France is the Serre Chevalier ski network, linked with the historic bastion-town-cum-ski-resort of Briançon.

Got a question on rule clarification, comments on rule enforcements or some memorable NHL stories? Kerry Fraser wants to answer your emails at firstname.lastname@example.com!
Hey Kerry,
Love the insight this segment brings. Hoping you could answer the following:
Can the linesmen not call five-minute majors? On the panel you said the officials missed Torres's hit on Hossa in their coverage but there was a linesman standing directly in the vicinity of Hossa when Torres charged him.
Secondly, I have always wondered, when a blown call, like this hit, occurs and the referees miss it, are they given a heads up from the head official (or anyone else) during intermission about it and made known things could get ugly with Torres being allowed to stay in the game?
Jarrett Anderson - Halifax, NS
Linesmen can report to the referee and call major and match penalties in addition to a double minor penalty for high-sticking where injury results. Lineman Jonny Murray was on his blue line and can be seen turning his visual focus back into the Hawk end zone prior to the impact on the illegal check delivered by Raffi Torres on Marian Hossa.
He would not have observed the hit but only the end result when the impact was heard and Hossa fell to the ice.
In my first year in the NHL, Hall of Fame linesman John D'Amico told me to know which players were on the ice at all time and to be aware of their individual tendencies. From last night this would include a player such as Raffi Torres that has demonstrated a history of finishing checks hard, high and late! When players such as Torres or Jordin Tootoo of the Nashville Predators are on the ice all officials' radars have to be dialed up.
The neutral zone was a transitional area of coverage from the back referee (Stephen Walkom) as Hossa carried the puck out of the Hawks zone. This coverage would eventually be passed off to the lead referee (Ian Walsh) as the attack continued toward to the Phoenix half of the ice. Hossa had puck possession in the neutral zone before the red line but had the puck knocked off his stick. The puck was retrieved by a Hawk player in the middle of the ice and moved toward the Coyotes end.
Referee Walkom would have visually followed Hossa out of the Hawk end zone with the puck. Once Hossa lost the puck and possession was retained by Chicago and advanced toward the red and over the red line the lead referee (Ian Walsh) would assume primary coverage on the puck carried. The back referee (Walkom) would normally keep his focus on any potential finish of a check on Marian Hossa. But a gap in coverage apparently occurred that resulted in a major penalty being missed when Torres launched high (skates off the ice) and made Marian Hossa's head the principal point of contact with Torres shoulder.
The on-ice officials would be advised by the standby referee of the exact details of the play once they entered the dressing room at the end of the period.
The standby official(s) are required to be dressed short of lacing up their skates if called upon through injury to enter the game. They watch the game feed from a monitor in the officials' room and had the advantage of the live action and replays that were shown.
While this knowledge would not affect the missed call, it could certainly provide for an added awareness on any possible retribution Blackhawk players might seek against Raffi Torres.

Taking It On The Chin
The sun always shines brighter when we have our very own Golden Boy, Bobby Rail in the house. Yes, we have our local 24 year old hottie back to give us more of what this blonde stud with the surfer locks brings to the table. Today Bobby brought along more than just his delicious self; he brought along a friend�a hot one! Krys Perez is joining our �collection�. Originally from Austin, TX, Krys is 21 years old. Krys is a sexy hottie with looks that scream �trouble�. We like! They both agree they wouldn't mind learning a second language; and both think Spanish would be their choice. We then asked these two if they could have 2 front row tickets to any concert, what concert would it be and whom would they bring with. Bobby would want to go see Peter Frampton with his Mom. Awwww. Krys follows suit and says he'd like to get tickets to a Cher concert and take along his grandmother. Makes sense, Cher and his Gram are probably about the same age.

Worth the Risk?
Maxwell is a member of The Motley Fool Blog Network -- entries represent the personal opinion of the blogger and are not formally edited.
The technology sector is an interesting one these days. There are some tech stocks that look attractively valued, such as Apple and Google, and others like Hewlett-Packard (NYSE: HPQ) and Dell (NASDAQ: DELL) that appear to be fantastic bargains. Value investors want to know if old school tech stocks like HP are really bargains, or just value traps.
Some of the numbers seem to support the argument that Hewlett Packard is a value buy. As you can see, HP is generating cash from financing and increasing the amount it is making from that source.
The three big-name tech companies that HP is usually benchmarked against in this category-IBM (NYSE: IBM), Intel, and Oracle - all lost money from financing, according to the latest figures. IBM lost $11 billion from financing, Intel lost $9.25 billion, and Oracle lost $8.40 billion. HP has figured out how to make money from something its competitors are losing money from.
The problem here is that cash from financing is only a small part of HP's revenue picture. The company's overall revenues fell substantially in the last year, as you can see. Despite the fall, HP's revenues are pretty respectable at $122.5 billion. Hewlett Packard's revenues were much higher than IBM's, at only $104.69 billion last fiscal year.
If that wasn't enough, Hewlett Packard also has a lot of cash; it had a free cash flow of $2.07 billion as of July 31. More importantly, that cash flow was increasing, even if revenues were falling. The interesting thing was that Oracle's free cash flow of $5.53 billion was twice as big as HP's, even though Oracle's revenue was less than a third of HP's. Oracle's revenues were $36.93 billion on Aug. 31, compared to Hewlett Packard's $122.52 billion.
Hewlett Packard's performance is a mixed bag; the company's making a lot of money, but it is having a hard time maintaining its position. Part of the reason for this might be declining demand for its core products, such as PCs and laptops. Although Hewlett Packard is trying its best to regain market share, the company reportedly wants to ship 40 million notebook computers in 2013.
That kind of sales might be part of the problem; the market for a lot of tech products is saturated. The only way companies like Hewlett Packard, Google, Samsung, and Lenovo can compete is to sell more gadgets at lower and lower prices. They can't charge the premium prices like Apple can, so the companies end up generating less revenue on more production. The situation is made worse by the entry of companies like Microsoft and Google into the manufacturing sector.
This might explain Hewlett Packard's P/E 10 ratio, which has been falling faster than its stock price. The company appears to be losing value, but it isn't the only computer-maker struggling to maintain its value. IBM is in a similar situation even though its P/E ratio of 10 is still very high.
So the question is can you make money in computer manufacturing anymore? More importantly, do computer manufacturers other than Apple have any real value anymore? Perhaps, because people and businesses still need computers--but the market is saturated.
Yet even with that saturation, Hewlett Packard looks like a bargain because it does appear to be under-priced. Any company that has revenues of $122.52 billion and $9.50 billion in cash on hand is a bargain at a $23 billion market cap. Hewlett-Packard has become a classic Ben Graham value right now. The company's share price is low even though it has demonstrated an ability to generate cash in a bad economy.
The only problem with this scenario is that Hewlett-Packard is operating in a saturated market. Even with new gadgets like tablets, the computer market is saturated, and the only way manufacturers will be able to compete is with deep discounts. That means that HP faces a serious struggle to retain what value it has left, and has few opportunities to increase value. Hewlett-Packard is certainly a bargain, but it also comes with some serious risks that might sink what little value it has left.

Council slashed development fees and red tape
By Meg Olson
council voted to peel off the first layer of municipal codes
and fees in what staff promises will be a complete overhaul.
The city of Blaine recently undertook the most exhaustive review of fees in Whatcom County, said city manager Gary Tomsic, opening the April 8 public meeting in the first phase of land development fee review. Over the next few months well take each section and implement them in a phased approach.
City planner Russell Nelson said his department was following up on complaints that city fees for new development were too high, putting a damper on local growth. We are one of the higher fee chargers in Whatcom County, Nelson concluded, primarily due to high utility connection fees.
While they were reviewing fees, planning division director Terry Galvin said they took the opportunity to clean up a tangled city code. Its been pieced together, he said. You have fees approved by ordinances buried in various sections with varying language. We have a lot of conflicting language that does the opposite of what were trying to do stimulate business.
The first batch of changes starts with an overhaul of city policies that guide planners in setting building fees, impact fees, utility assessments and planning fees. One of the things we want to start doing is reviewing these annually as part of the budget process, Nelson said.
All the fees in those categories were put on one list, duplications were cut out and fees adjusted to better reflect staff time, Nelson said. Its bringing all these fees to a single source. Its all in one spot, no surprises.
The list of 50 city fees for land development was cut almost in half and a dozen fees were reduced. Substantial changes were made to how the city charges for shoreline development review. Ten fee levels were reduced to five and hundreds of dollars were shaved off the cost of reviews. The charge for a lot line adjustment was cut in half to $75 and the cost of reviewing the binding site plan for a subdivision dropped by $400. Were trying to reduce the list and make them a little more cost effective, Nelson said.
No members spoke at the public meeting, but city council members applauded the changes before voting to approve them. I think its a very positive move, said Bruce Wolf. It simplifies things and makes our staff more accessible to developers.
In other business, council members set an April 22 public hearing on the citys five-year stormwater capital improvement plan. The plan uses funds collected by the city stormwater utility, county flood tax and federal and state grants to improve how runoff is managed. Blaine property owners pay $4 per month for a standard residential unit to the stormwater utility.
This year the stormwater plan projects spending $100,000 on upgrading storm drains and building a retention pond as part of the planned reconstruction of 6th Street. Well provide good connections along 6th for people to connect to stormwater so hopefully well reduce the amount of inflow in the sanitary sewer, said assistant public works director Steve Banham. From 2003 to 2007 $20,000 per year are earmarked to continue separating stormwater and sewer in an effort to eliminate sewage overflows triggered by heavy rains.
As city streets are upgraded during the next five years, stormwater dollars will be used to put in new drains, detention ponds and treatment stations. Stormwater improvements go hand in hand with street improvements, Banham said. Overall, the plan projects spending $735,000 over the next five years on stormwater projects.

BUCHU Overview Information
Buchu is a plant. The leaf is used to make medicine.
Buchu is used to disinfect the urinary tract during infections of the bladder (cystitis), urethra (urethritis), prostate (prostatitis), or kidney (pyelonephritis). It is also used to treat sexually transmitted diseases.
In manufacturing, the oil from buchu is used to give a fruit flavor (often black currant) to foods.
How does it work?
It is thought that the active chemicals in buchu may kill germs and also promote urine flow.
BUCHU Uses & Effectiveness
Insufficient Evidence for:
- Urinary tract infections.
- Kidney infections.
- Sexually transmitted diseases.
- Other conditions.
BUCHU Side Effects & Safety
Buchu seems to be safe in food amounts and is possibly safe when used appropriately in medicinal amounts. But it may be UNSAFE in larger amounts and when the oil is consumed. Buchu may irritate the stomach and kidneys and increase menstrual flow. It may also cause liver damage, so liver function in people who use buchu should be monitored by a healthcare provider.
Special Precautions & Warnings:Pregnancy and breast-feeding: Don't use buchu in amounts that are larger than usual food amounts if you are pregnant. Buchu might threaten your pregnancy. There have been reports linking buchu to miscarriages.
If you are breast-feeding, buchu might be safe in food amounts, but don't take larger amounts. Not enough is known about the safety of buchu during breast-feeding.
Kidney infections: Even though some people use buchu for kidney infections, health experts advise against this.
Urinary tract inflammation: Don't use buchu if you have pain and swelling in the urinary tract.
Surgery: Buchu might slow blood clotting. There is some concern that it might increase the risk of bleeding during and after surgery. Stop using buchu at least 2 weeks before a scheduled surgery.
BUCHU Interactions
Moderate Interaction Be cautious with this combination
- Lithium interacts with BUCHU
Buchu might have an effect like a water pill or "diuretic." Taking buchu might decrease how well the body gets rid of lithium. This could increase how much lithium is in the body and result in serious side effects. Talk with your healthcare provider before using this product if you are taking lithium. Your lithium dose might need to be changed.
- Medications that slow blood clotting (Anticoagulant / Antiplatelet drugs) interacts with BUCHU
Buchu might slow blood clotting. Taking buchu along with medications that also slow clotting might increase the chances of bruising and bleeding.
Some medications that slow blood clotting include aspirin, clopidogrel (Plavix), diclofenac (Voltaren, Cataflam, others), ibuprofen (Advil, Motrin, others), naproxen (Anaprox, Naprosyn, others), dalteparin (Fragmin), enoxaparin (Lovenox), heparin, warfarin (Coumadin), and others.
BUCHU Dosing
The appropriate dose of buchu depends on several factors such as the user's age, health, and several other conditions. At this time there is not enough scientific information to determine an appropriate range of doses for buchu. Keep in mind that natural products are not always necessarily safe and dosages can be important. Be sure to follow relevant directions on product labels and consult your pharmacist or physician or other healthcare professional before using.

By 3:40 p.m. on Monday, the jury was selected for the trial for a North Dakota man accused of killing his three daughters inside their River Falls, Wis., home.
It took most of Monday to find the 15 people -- nine women and six men. They will not have to debate whether Aaron Schaffhausen is guilty; but whether or not his plea of insanity is accurate. They will begin hearing evidence on his mental state on Tuesday morning.
Since Schaffhausen changed his plea to guilty last week, the trial will focus only on his insanity plea. That means only 10 of 12 unbiased jurors need to agree whether Aaron Schaffhausen was insane when he murdered his daughters.
During selection, jurors were asked about their attitudes and opinions on divorce, rejection, depression, drinking and psychiatry. In total, nine potential jurors were dismissed outright, including one who said he would refuse to see evidence photos of the dead girls.
Schaffhausen conceded guilt on three counts of first-degree intentional homicide and one of attempted arson, but maintained that he's not responsible for his actions due to mental illness.
Trial evidence is expected to include testimony from the girls' mother, Jessica Schaffhausen, and a recording of the 40-minute 911 call she made to police in River Falls, a community of about 15,000 people about 30 miles east of the Twin Cities.
Schaffhausen's defense attorney will try to prove that his client is mentally ill; however, prosecutors allege that Schaffhausen was enraged by jealousy and killed 11-year-old Amara, 8-year-old Sophie and 5-year-old Cecilia to get revenge against his ex-wife because he was still bitter about their divorce and thought she had begun seeing a new man.
"Our office, as well as the attorney general's office, has put a lot of time into this case, a lot of resources, and I believe we're both prepared," District Attorney Eric Johnson said.
For Schaffhausen, the stakes are likely the difference between spending the rest of his life in prison if he's judged sane and being committed to a psychiatric institution from which he might someday be released.
Winning with an insanity defense is usually an uphill battle, though the legal test in Wisconsin is somewhat easier than in other states. Wisconsin requires at least 10 of the 12 jurors to find the evidence shows a defendant suffered from a "mental disease or defect" so great at the time that he or she "lacked substantial capacity either to appreciate the wrongfulness of his or her conduct or conform his or her conduct to the requirements of law."
Few details have emerged publicly on Schaffhausen's mental state since the girls were killed. He's been evaluated by experts for the prosecution, the defense and the court. Much of that information remains under seal. In a February filing, prosecutors said the defense had not spelled out Schaffhausen's mental defect or how it affected his actions.
Kucinski offered a hint in pretrial proceedings last week, however, when he said the prosecution expert concluded that Schaffhausen suffers from a "major depressive order." He did not elaborate.
The evidence, according to a criminal complaint, includes a chilling statement Schaffhausen made to his ex-wife right after the killings: "You can come home now because I killed the kids."
Police found a horrifying scene at the Schaffhausen family home in the western Wisconsin city of River Falls last July: three girls dead in their beds, their throats slashed with white T-shirts tied around their necks. In the basement, gasoline was sloshed in a possible attempt to burn down their mother's house.
"All were found with their throats cut widely and deeply," prosecutors said in court filings. They said the "vast majority" of the blood at the scene was found in Cecilia's room, indicating he killed them there, and then tied the shirts around his girls' necks in an attempt to keep their blood off his own clothes as he carried the other children to their bedrooms. Only Cecilia showed signs of strangulation, they wrote.
Schaffhausen's public defender, John Kucinski, spent months refusing to concede his client killed the girls. He fought hard in pretrial proceedings to exclude as much damaging evidence as possible, often unsuccessfully, ahead of last week's plea change.
Even though the focus has shifted to Schaffhausen's mental state, the lead prosecutor, Assistant Attorney General Gary Freyberg, said he'll present much of the same evidence he had planned to use to prove guilt because he said it shows Schaffhausen understood what he was doing.
Aaron and Jessica Schaffhausen divorced in January 2011. Court papers indicate their marriage had been rocky for several years, and her mother told police the last straw was when Jessica discovered he was lying about having gone back to school. Her mother told police he either flunked out or dropped out, and kept it secret for several months, until it was too late to get a refund. Jessica and the girls stayed in the house in River Falls. Aaron took a construction job in Minot, N.D.
According to the complaint, Aaron Schaffhausen texted his ex-wife July 10, 2012, to ask for an unscheduled visit with the girls. She consented but said he had to be gone before she got home because she didn't want to see him. The girls' babysitter told investigators the children were excited when he arrived. The babysitter left, and two hours later, Schaffhausen called his wife to say he'd killed their children.

A man and his son, out on a fishing trip, have to be rescued when their boat motor stops working.
Officials say the two went out Sunday and began experiencing problems with the motor.
Authorities received a call around 7pm Sunday night that the motor had stopped working and they were stranded, floating downstream on the Flint River in Mitchell County.
"We've been in contact with them by phone. They got no medical problems at all, we're just standing just to make sure everything goes ok," said Hal Pinson, the Dougherty County EMS paramedic supervisor.
North Mitchell Fire Department volunteers rescued the two by boat just after 9pm, south of the Plant Mitchell boat ramp.
Dougherty County EMS and the Albany Fire Department also helped out with the rescue.

Find files and calculate size with stat of result in shell
Goes through all files in the directory specified, uses `stat` to print out last modification time, then sorts numerically in reverse, then uses cut to remove the modified epoch timestamp and finally head to only output the last 10 modified files.
Note that on a Mac `stat` won't work like this, you'll need to use either:
find . -type f -print0 | xargs -0 stat -f '%m%t%Sm %12z %N' | sort -nr | cut -f2- | head
or alternatively do a `brew install coreutils` and then replace `stat` with `gstat` in the original command.
This alias is super-handy for me because it quickly shows the details of each file in the current directory. The output is nice because it is sortable, allowing you to expand this basic example to do something amazing like showing you a list of the newest files, the largest files, files with bad perms, etc..
A recursive alias would be:
alias LSR='find -mount -printf "%.5m %10M %#9u:%-9g %#5U:%-5G %TF_%TR %CF_%CR %AF_%AR %#15s [%Y] %p\n" 2>/dev/null'
From: http://www.askapache.com/linux/bash_profile-functions-advanced-shell.html
here's a version which works on OS X.
Applies each file operator using the built-in test.
testt /home/askapache/.sq
-a True - file exists.
-d True - file is a directory.
-e True - file exists.
-r True - file is readable by you.
-s True - file exists and is not empty.
-w True - the file is writable by you.
-x True - the file is executable by you.
-O True - the file is effectively owned by you.
-G True - the file is effectively owned by your group.
-N True - the file has been modified since it was last read.
Full Function:
testt ()
local dp;
until [ -z "${1:-}" ]; do
[[ ! -a "$1" ]] && dp="$PWD/$dp";
command ls -w $((${COLUMNS:-80}-20)) -lA --color=tty -d "$dp";
[[ -d "$dp" ]] && find "$dp" -mount -depth -wholename "$dp" -printf '%.5m %10M %#15s %#9u %-9g %#5U %-5G %Am/%Ad/%AY %Cm/%Cd/%CY %Tm/%Td/%TY [%Y] %p\n' -a -quit 2> /dev/null;
for f in a b c d e f g h L k p r s S t u w x O G N;
test -$f "$dp" && help test | sed "/-$f F/!d" | sed -e 's#^[\t ]*-\([a-zA-Z]\{1\}\) F[A-Z]*[\t ]* True if#-\1 "'$dp'" #g';
Show running time. eta, progressbar
This command displays the CPU idle + used time using stats from /proc/stat.
Sort by time and Reverse to get Ascending order, then display a marker next to the a file, negate directory and select only 1 result
Increase the modification date for the files selected with the find command.
This is useful if you'd like to see the output of a script while you edit it. Each time you save the file the command is executed. I thought for sure something like this already exists - and it probably does. I'm on an older system and tend to be missing some useful things.
ontouchdo yourscript 'clear; yourscript somefiletoparse'
Edit yourscript in a separate window and see new results each time you save.
ontouchdo crufty.html 'clear; xmllint --noout crufty.html 2>&1 | head'
Keep editing krufty.html until the xmllint window is empty.
Note: Mac/bsd users should use stat -f%m. If you don't have stat, you can use perl -e '$f=shift; @s=stat($f); print "$s[9]\n";' $1
This script compares the modification date of /var/lib/dpkg/info/${package}.list and all the files mentioned there.
It could be wrong on noatime partitions.
Here is non-oneliner:
inst=$(stat "$list" -c %X);
cat $list |
while read file; do
if [ -f "$file" ]; then
acc=$(stat "$file" -c %X);
if [ $inst -lt $acc ]; then
echo used $file
exit 0
exit 1
This shows every bit of information that stat can get for any file, dir, fifo, etc. It's great because it also shows the format and explains it for each format option.
If you just want stat help, create this handy alias 'stath' to display all format options with explanations.
alias stath="stat --h|sed '/Th/,/NO/!d;/%/!d'"
To display on 2 lines:
( F=/etc/screenrc N=c IFS=$'\n'; for L in $(sed 's/%Z./%Z\n/'<<<`stat --h|sed -n '/^ *%/s/^ *%\(.\).*$/\1:%\1/p'`); do G=$(echo "stat -$N '$L' \"$F\""); eval $G; N=fc;done; )
For a similarly powerful stat-like function optimized for pretty output (and can sort by any field), check out the "lll" function
From my .bash_profile ->
I love this function because it tells me everything I want to know about files, more than stat, more than ls. It's very useful and infinitely expandable.
find $PWD -maxdepth 1 -printf '%.5m %10M %#9u:%-9g %#5U:%-5G [%AD | %TD | %CD] [%Y] %p\n' | sort -rgbS 50%
00761 drwxrw---x askapache:askapache 777:666 [06/10/10 | 06/10/10 | 06/10/10] [d] /web/cg/tmp
The key is:
# -printf '%.5m %10M %#9u:%-9g %#5U:%-5G [%AD | %TD | %CD] [%Y] %p\n'
which believe it or not took me hundreds of tweaking before I was happy with the output.
You can easily use this within a function to do whatever you want.. This simple function works recursively if you call it with -r as an argument, and sorts by file permissions.
lsl(){ O="-maxdepth 1";sed -n '/-r/!Q1'<<<$@ &&O=;find $PWD $O -printf '%.5m %10M %#9u:%-9g %#5U:%-5G [%AD | %TD | %CD] [%Y] %p\n'|sort -rgbS 50%; }
Personally I'm using this function because:
lll () { local a KS="1 -r -g"; sed -n '/-sort=/!Q1' <<< $@ && KS=`sed 's/.*-sort=\(.*\)/\1/g'<<<$@`;
find $PWD -maxdepth 1 -printf '%.5m %10M %#9u:%-9g %#5U:%-5G [%AD | %TD | %CD] [%Y] %p\n'|sort -k$KS -bS 50%; }
# i can sort by user
lll -sort=3
# or sort by group reversed
lll -sort=4 -r
# and sort by modification time
lll -sort=6
If anyone wants to help me make this function handle multiple dirs/files like ls, go for it and I would appreciate it.. Something very minimal would be awesome.. maybe like:
for a; do lll $a; done
Note this uses the latest version of GNU find built from source, easy to build from gnu ftp tarball. Taken from my http://www.askapache.com/linux-unix/bash_profile-functions-advanced-shell.html
Works with files containing spaces and for very large directories.
This pipeline will find, sort and display all files based on mtime. This could be done with find | xargs, but the find | xargs pipeline will not produce correct results if the results of find are greater than xargs command line buffer. If the xargs buffer fills, xargs processes the find results in more than one batch which is not compatible with sorting.
Note the "-print0" on find and "-0" switch for perl. This is the equivalent of using xargs. Don't you love perl?
Note that this pipeline can be easily modified to any data produced by perl's stat operator. eg, you could sort on size, hard links, creation time, etc. Look at stat and just change the '9' to what you want. Changing the '9' to a '7' for example will sort by file size. A '3' sorts by number of links....
Use head and tail at the end of the pipeline to get oldest files or most recent. Use awk or perl -wnla for further processing. Since there is a tab between the two fields, it is very easy to process.
Since the original command (#1873) didn't work on FreeBSD whose stat lacks the "-c" switch, I wrote an alternative that does. This command shows also the fourth digit of octal format permissions which yields the sticky bit information.
