Letters to the Editor
The Editor:
As a Blaine resident, parent and voter, I have listened to each of the candidates talk about what they would do as president.
While issues like the economy, the Iraq war, education, and universal health care are important to me, I am listening for what candidates will say about addressing poverty, both nationally and globally. This is an issue that directly relates to so many issues, like health care, the economy, and foreign policy.
When 45,000 people die each month in the Congo and millions are dying from lack of clean water and preventable diseases, America's role in alleviating these issues is not only a moral imperative, but will also impact the stability and sustainability of our national security and economy.
We often find ourselves thinking that we must choose between supporting jobs here or overseas, but often the legislation and policies that support U.S. jobs are the same policies that support fair trade and development in other countries.
In a global economy, we know that the stability of one region quickly affects our own, and the U.S. is in the unique position of setting policies that influence other governments and economies, either positively or negatively.
I am part of ONE.org, and the more than 2.4 million other ONE members nationally working to make the fight against extreme poverty and global disease an issue in the 2008 presidential election. As "Super Tuesday" approaches, I encourage you to remember how much our votes affect not only the U.S., but the whole world.
ONE members have gotten all of the major candidates to go on the record and lay out their concrete plans to fight global poverty and disease if elected, for all voters to see.
I encourage you to view each of their plans and compare the candidates at www.onevote08.org/ontherecord.

It has come to my attention that certain charities, foundations, etc. have done an abysmal job of servicing the needs of veterans and their families, especially perhaps, of those wounded in action.
With the assistance of the Blaine library staff, research is now available to rate the efficiency of various charities. These ratings may be reviewed at three locations within the city of Blaine: Blaine Library, Blaine city hall and the Blaine Visitor Center.

Recently many constituents from the 42nd legislative district traveled for three hours in the snow to Olympia for some good old grassroots lobbying in support of family planning services such as birth control, cancer screening, and STD treatment.
I was amazed at how some of the legislators who were not very supportive of this issue were at least respectful, polite, and willing to listen.
However, I was absolutely appalled at the treatment Representative Doug Ericksen gave his constituents. He did not come out of his office for our scheduled meeting with him. We were told he was running a bit late and we could wait until he came out to get us.
After 30 minutes, and no word from his office, we saw another person go in who obviously had a later appointment than ours. That person was welcomed into the office right away! I know that we may not all agree on public policy. However, I thought that we could all agree on what it means to be courteous and respectful to other human beings.

Recently I was interviewed by The Northern Light regarding our undefeated dual wrestling season, and whether any of my teams had accomplished this feat before. I answered that I couldn't remember an undefeated season during my tenure. Unfortunately, I was misquoted as saying: "as far as I know, this has never been done by a Blaine squad."
I teach PE daily in a gym featuring a banner honoring Blaine's 1990 undefeated team (12-0 record, state champs), so I am well aware that the feat has been accomplished at least once before my time, and probably more.
Our current wrestlers and coaches are proud to be included in the great tradition of Blaine wrestling, a tradition established long ago.
Craig Foster,
Blaine wrestling coach
The Editor:
Don't you just love America? Our freedoms extend from the greatest to the least; the richest and the poorest, which seems unbalanced more and more each year, but that's another topic.
One of those freedoms covers our speech and the law has protections for people who are maligned, falsely accused or demeaned by speech. Thus even the repetitive, contrary and inflammatory comments of David White have their place, as featured in The Northern Light some weeks ago.
By the tone in his letter, he seems to be enthralled with China, partly because of how efficiently they operate their cities.
For sure sweat shops, state-mandated number of children per family regulations, and gender preferrencing are admirable forms of city, county and national administration; and who could forget Tiananmen Square, just to name a few.
I've wondered what repercussions might follow were David to fire up his word processor in Beijing or Shanghai with a series of "letter(s) to the editor" referring to their administrations being "full of rejects" or infer that their cities' government was comprised of "pinheads."
For one who purports to be so savvy, David seems to have been beguilded by the outflow propaganda, spin and misinformation generated by the Chinese government regarding their human rights and pollution histories, at least, which are well documented and founded by independent investigation and photo evidence from reputable international news groups like BBC and CNN.
David, your poison-pen rhetoric and contrary thinking fit with your own remarks regarding our city attorney in your letter. Perhaps you should cut your losses and move on: say to China.
Michael W. Smith
The Editor:
First, to the lady who wrote to rebuff my last letter, you must be new to Blaine for if you have lived here as long as I have, you would not be so quick to say "Can't we just forget it and move forward?" Let's see if you still feel the same when you start getting $80 a month sewer bills.
Which brings me to my second point. Have you people, those of you who still care deeply about this city, become so complacent to not realize how you are getting screwed?
With all the grant money and state budget money, and federal low interest loans that is being proposed for the wastewater treatment plant, ask yourself why should we pay $80 a month sewer rates? There is no justification for that high a rate.
This is just another money grab to line the city officials' pockets with your money. That folly of a design they plan to build out on the pier area is nothing more than that, a folly.
You people are living in a dream world if you think for one minute that because the traffic is going to be diverted through Blaine that people are going to stop here. They are going to go through here like a tornado and head south, and no one is going to move here with $80 a month sewer rates.
If you people want to continue to bury your heads in the sand and ignore what's happening to this town, be prepared to eat your house when you can't sell it or rent it, and also be prepared to make the choice between purchasing food and medications or pay the sewer.
If you can't see what's wrong with this town and the way it is run then you deserve what you get and this city government will see to it, they, will stick it to you every chance they get.
Dave White
The Editor:
Best kept secret: Democrats in Washington denied "one man, one vote."
On January 30 I received the state of Washington Voter's Pamphlet. Buried on page 6 of that pamphlet is the following sentence: "The state Democratic Party has decided to use caucus results to allocate its delegates to the 2008 Democratic National Convention." When I called the Washington State Democratic Party to find out more information, the woman on the phone said, and I quote verbatim: "There is absolutely no point in voting in the primary."
I received this pamphlet six days before a February 5 "meeting" regarding the so-called caucus in order to "learn how to caucus." (I already know how to vote.)
Then, I learned that the actual caucus is for one hour on February 9. No one seems to know where, yet. I, for one, do not want to select our Democratic candidate the way Iowa does. A mere 200,000 people in one-hour discussions deciding for everyone in the state?
That's not democracy.
Who decided that a vote cast in the primary would be "no point?" It's bad enough we can't vote at a polling station. Now, we're told, there's no point in voting at all!

The Editor:
In March I have an easy choice before me. I will vote to support the bond that our incredible district needs in order to provide our students with an acceptable place for their learning. I will continue to support the maintenance levy as well.
I went to the high school last year to take part in the senior projects. I was greatly impressed by the students and their reports, but I found myself wondering "How did these kids actually accomplish so much in such a drab place?" The current arrangement of the high school is a series of quad classrooms that share folding walls. I could hear other students doing their reports in other rooms while the student I was focusing on completed their report.
I could only imagine what it is like for the students and teachers during the day. Could they really focus on learning while there were so many distractions?
On another note, each classroom has only one window making the environment dark and somewhat gloomy. (I was there in the spring so I can only imagine what it would be like during the long winter months.)
The point being, I want more for our kids – our future. I know that the environment we raise our children in, directly impacts their development and morale.
I believe that our facilities should be representative of the quality of young adults we are sending out into the world. A clean, inspiring and modern setting is the minimum of what our children deserve. We will only reap long-term benefits from supporting this bond.
While it is an easy choice for me (I have two children who will benefit from a modernized high school) I know that there are some people in this community who have long since had their children graduate or people who moved to this area and never participated in our school system who may think "I'm not impacted by this so why increase my taxes."
I would just like you to consider this: It can't get better for our kids without your help. We need a supermajority vote to make the needed improvements happen.
I have happily dedicated a lot of time for many years to support our children because I believe in them. Blaine is an amazing community that has incredibly talented children and truly gifted teachers.
I choose to honor all of them through my vote on March 11. Please consider doing the same.

South Sudan
More Facts & Figures
National name: Republic of South Sudan
Languages: English (official), Arabic (official), regional languages include Dinka, Nuer, Bari, Zande, Shilluk
Ethnicity/race: Dinka, Kakwa, Bari, Azande, Shilluk, Kuku, Murle, Mandari, Didinga, Ndogo, Bviri, Lndi, Anuak, Bongo, Lango, Dungotona, Acholi
Religion: animist, Christian
Literacy rate: 27% (2012 est.).
Economic summary: Industry and infrastructure are severely underdeveloped and poverty is widespread, following several decades of civil war with the north. Subsistence agriculture provides a living for the vast majority of the population. Property rights are tentative and price signals are missing because markets are not well organized. South Sudan has little infrastructure — just 60 km of paved roads. Electricity is produced mostly by costly diesel generators and running water is scarce. The government spends large sums of money to maintain a large army; delays in paying salaries have resulted in riots by unruly soldiers.
South Sudan depends largely on imports of goods, services, and capital from the north. Despite these disadvantages, South Sudan does have abundant natural resources. South Sudan produces nearly three-fourths of the former Sudan's total oil output of nearly a half million barrels per day. The government of South Sudan derives nearly 98% of its budget revenues from oil. Oil is exported through two pipelines that run to refineries and shipping facilities at Port Sudan on the Red Sea, and the 2005 oil sharing agreement with Khartoum called for a 50-50 sharing of oil revenues between the two entities. That deal expired on 9 July 2011, however, when South Sudan became an independent country. The economy of South Sudan undoubtedly will remain linked to Sudan for some time, given the long lead time and great expense required to build another pipeline. South Sudan also holds one of the richest agricultural areas in Africa in the White Nile valley, which has very fertile soils and more-than-adequate water supplies. Currently the region supports 10–20 million head of cattle. The White Nile has sufficient flow to generate large quantities of hydroelectricity. South Sudan does not have large external debt or structural trade deficits. South Sudan has received more than $4 billion in foreign aid since 2005, largely from the UK, U.S., Norway, and Netherlands, but Khartoum has imposed blockades on goods and capital going to South Sudan. Source: CIA World Factbook
International disputes: South Sudan-Sudan boundary represents 1 January 1956 alignment, final alignment pending negotiations and demarcation; final sovereignty status of Abyei region pending negotiations between South Sudan and Sudan; periodic violent skirmishes with South Sudanese residents over water and grazing rights persist among related pastoral populations along the border with the Central African Republic; the boundary that separates Kenya and South Sudan's sovereignty is unclear in the "Ilemi Triangle," which Kenya has administered since colonial times.
Transportation: Railways: 236 km (2010 est.). Highways: total: 7,000 km; paved: na; unpaved: na (2010 est.). Airports: 84 (2012).

IRS Focus on Foreign Athletes and Entertainers
The Internal Revenue Service (IRS) has an Issue Management Team focused on improving U.S. income reporting and tax payment compliance by foreign athletes and entertainers who work in the United States.
It is important to ensure proper tax reporting and payment by these individuals and those associated with arranging their appearances in the U.S. and managing their financial affairs.
The IRS is using a three pronged approach for this initiative:
- improving the availability of information and guidance needed to help this group comply with income reporting and tax payment requirements,
- providing IRS enforcement personnel with information they need to identify and work compliance issues frequently encountered with this population, and
- conducting direct compliance and enforcement activity.
For more information please refer to Taxation of Foreign Athletes and Entertainers.

A Dominant Company Selling for 1999 Prices
Ryan is a member of The Motley Fool Blog Network -- entries represent the personal opinion of the blogger and are not formally edited.
A SWOT analysis is a look at a company's strengths, weaknesses, opportunities, and threats, and is a tremendous way to gain a detailed and thorough perspective on a company and its future. As the year draws to a close, I would like to focus on a leader in the technology industry that can be bought at the same as in 1999, Microsoft (NASDAQ: MSFT).
- Solid Revenue Growth: In 2008, Microsoft reported revenue of $60.4 billion; in 2012, the company reported revenue of $73.7 billion, representing 5.10% year over year annual growth, and this trend is projected to continue into the future with projections putting 2017 revenue at $94.7 billion
- Net Profit Margin: Microsoft currently possesses a net profit margin of 23.04%, displaying a company that is profitable and strong
- Dividend: At the moment Microsoft pays out a quarterly dividend of $0.23, which annualized puts the dividend as yielding 3.35%
- Brand Value: Coming in just behind Apple, Microsoft's brand is valued at $54.7 billion by Forbes, however the company ranks first in the consumer perception category; both of which displays the power and value of the square logo
- Reasonable Valuation: At the moment, Microsoft possesses a price to earnings ratio of 14.83, a price to sales ratio of 3.13, and a price to book ratio of 3.47, all of which indicate a fairly valued company, and as the chart below displays Microsoft can today be bought at a ten year discount
- Search Presence: Microsoft's Bing has a 15.9% market share in the search engine industry, not even coming close to Google's dominant 66.4% market share; Microsoft has spent nearly $10 billion up keeping and promoting their expensive attempt to capture Google's business
- Debt: Currently, Microsoft possesses $10.7 billion of debt on their balance sheets, a major downside to the business
- Mobile Presence: Mobile is a major weak spot for Microsoft, with Apple and Google dominating the industry and Microsoft's Windows platform having only a 3.6% market share as of September 2012
- Windows 8: Microsoft's new operating system has been called drastic, however this upgrade gives the company the opportunity to maintain its dominance in the operating system industry, one which it has a 81.75% share in
- Surface: This drastic response to the growing popularity of tablets should put Microsoft's foot in the tablet market, and help fuel growth into the future
- Acquisitions: Since 2000, Microsoft has acquired over 50 companies, with the most recently being StorSimple Incorporated in 2012, and further acquisitions should fuel future growth
- Dividend Growth: Since implementing their dividend program in 2003, Microsoft has consistently raised its dividend payouts, and projections exdept this trend to continue into the future
- Competition: Microsoft operates in one of the most competitive industries in the world, with the largest and most powerful company competing against Microsoft, and this fierce competition can cut into Microsoft's profit
- Supply Line Problems: Microsoft's supply chain provides them with the thousands of pieces it requires to make their products, and a disruption in this supply chain could hurt Microsoft
- Piracy: Just as piracy is a major threat to the music and movie industry, it is also a major threat to Microsoft's business, as much of their business is in the software space
- Stagnant Global Economy: When the global economic landscape is facing as much uncertainty and stagnation as it is today, companies are less willing to pour money into reinvesting in their company, including purchasing new technology (tablets, computers, operating systems), which could hurt Microsoft's growth
Major publically traded competitors of Microsoft include Apple (NASDAQ: AAPL), Google (NASDAQ: GOOG), Oracle (NYSE: ORCL), and SAP (NYSE: SAP). Apple competes against Microsoft in the computer, tablet, and mobile industry, is valued at $488.53 billion on the market, and pays out a dividend yielding 2.04%. Google competes with Microsoft in the search engine and mobile industry, and is valued at $235.15 billion on the market. Oracle competes in the software industry, and is valued at $162.69 billion on the market. Finally, Sap competes with Microsoft in the software industry, is valued at just under $100 billion, and pays out a dividend yielding 1.19%.
The Foolish Bottom Line:
Microsoft is dominant in many of the industries it operates in and possesses solid revenue growth and a solid and growing dividend. Over the past ten years, Microsoft's revenue has flourished, however the stock's price has remain steady, leaving the company at a ten year discount. To the long-term investor, Microsoft is a tremendous investment, and should flourish if it is able to innovate its products to the changing demands of the consumers.

"This metal post is 2mm thick square section which makes it extremely strong - much stronger than it needs to be to support the gate it is designed for - but unfortunately only has holes for attachment of the gate fittings and for top attachment to a wall. To fit it to a lower wall securely I had to drill extra holes lower down, which was a nightmare, breaking 6 drill bits in the process, and saw the end section off. If you buy this post don't try to modify it, it's too tough. Presumably it is designed to be cemented into the ground.

There were 57.8 million hires in 2007, equivalent to 42.0 percent of employment. Hires were down in 2007 after rising the preceding three years.
Total separations remained essentially flat for a second year with 54.6 million separations (39.7 percent of employment) in 2007.
Total separations include quits (voluntary separations), layoffs and discharges (involuntary separations), and other separations (including retirements).
Quits followed the same pattern as hires, decreasing slightly in 2007 to 31.1 million after rising the preceding three years.
Layoffs and discharges rose in 2007 to 19.7 million after falling in 2006. Other separations fell to 3.9 million in 2007, in line with the years 2001 through 2005, after rising sharply in 2006.
These data are from the BLS Job Openings and Labor Turnover Survey. To learn more about hires, separations, and quits, see "Job Openings and Labor Turnover: January 2008" (PDF) (TXT), news release USDL 08-0332. These data are not seasonally adjusted.

What Are the Ethics of Spending OUR Money? Are we Dependent on it?
Why isn't education attaining its goals? Why people are not taking care of their health? Why people are not creative enough? Why can't we discover the "next big thing" that will save the world? Why are anxiety levels increasing significantly in the society?... etc.
Or on a personal level, why am I unmotivated? Why am I uncomfortable? Why am I unhappy? Why do I find so much difficulties in life?... etc.
Our answer almost always includes: because of the lack of funding, no enough money.
So we look for ways to gain more money, we almost make it the aim of our lives. In a seminar that was held at my college for researchers, the speaker asked the people present, "Why are you pursuing your career in researching and science?" And almost everyone's answer was to have a better status, a better job, promotions... etc.!
We do own money indeed! We can spend it! BUT do we own the Earth's resources? Is it okay to spend money? On a small scale and a large scale?
I have been thinking for a while about this topic, about the rightness of spending our own money. About consuming the Earth's resources. We all spend money to buy things that we don't need, or things we need but can manage to do all right without them. Do you think we need to have more self regulation? To exert MORE EFFORT to substitute money? To take the TIME to think about alternatives?
Will consuming Earth's resources help us be more creative? Help our children understand better? Help people take care of their health? Is it money what we really need to help people? How much money do we need to make humanity happy?
My point is that I see people thinking that money is the magical thing that if we owned, everything is gonna be all great. It almost became a culture! You want to live better? Own more money!
And I see that we are missing out the point that money is not magical, it equals consuming the earth. Can we OWN the earth and do whatever we want with it? Do we realize what money is? How can we use it then?

Barry Palmer 100+Mar 5 2013: I think what you need to realize is that most people want much more than they need. Many people want much more stuff than what they need to live comfortably. Years ago a study asked people how much money they would need to live comfortably. People of all income levels thought they would be happy if they made just about 20% more. I recently saw a documentary in which a couple with income over $200,000 per year could not live within their income. (I would not know what to do with that much.) People are happier when they learn the meaning of enough, and become appreciative of what they have rather than envious of what they lack.
By American standards my income and economic status is below average. By global standards I am rich. Neither of these comparisons has the slightest meaning to me. I live comfortably, with adequate food, shelter, clothing etc. and suffer no deprivation. I have enough and more than enough. I even have an automatic dishwasher, which makes my life much more pleasant. One of my goals is to simplify my life further by getting rid of stuff that is not needed. Within a year or two I hope to move to a small town where I can live comfortably without an automobile, using my legs and feet as my primary means of locomotion. Perhaps a bicycle for longer trips.
The only thing you can do with money is spend it. Money is not the problem. The problem is spending it wisely.
I think if we can develop wisdom the resources of the Earth will be enough.
Mar 15 2013: Very well said. I think the culture which is shaped by the financially powerful parties are the ones who are benefiting from creating this relative deprivation. By always presenting models for people to follow as social scripts, there is a man made feeling of dissatisfaction.
What a simple life you are trying to lead there, go for it! Would like to hear from you about your experience!
And do you have suggestions on how we can develop wisdom? Who is responsible for that?

The mixture will have two different textures. The pistachio batter will be thick and the cherry will be thinner. I like to add the pistachio layer first to the muffin cups because it is thicker, and then top with the cherry batter.
A few drops of red and green food color can be used when making the cupcakes to enhance the color.
If you have only one muffin pan and a recipe calls for more cupcakes than your pan will make, cover and refrigerate the rest of the batter while baking the first batch. Cool the pan about 15 minutes and then bake the rest of the batter, adding 1 to 2 minutes to the bake time.

Garry Rayno's State House Dome: Coming down to crunch time
Front and center in that war between the House and Senate will be Medicaid expansion. It is perhaps the one issue that could doom negotiations and send both sides back to their corners to regroup.
The other reason given by Republican senators for opposing expansion is the unknown factor involved in implementing a new program. As Sen. Andy Sanborn, R-Bedford, argued recently, expansion and its ramification are very complicated matters. Time is needed to sort all that out, he says, before lawmakers can decide what is best for the state.
In theory, expanding Medicaid would lower the amount of free or charity care that nonprofit hospitals provide to low-income patients who cannot pay for the services they receive.
The hospitals view the situation as an opportunity to leverage higher Medicaid reimbursement rates from the state. The rates do not come close to covering the cost of services. Ten of the state's largest hospitals have sued over the issue in federal court, but the case is still pending.
Also in the picture are the three national managed care companies that the state hired to run the program under the assumption Medicaid would be expanded. At the time, expansion was mandatory under the Affordable Care Act (ACA), but the U.S. Supreme Court ruled otherwise.
So the equation everyone is trying to decipher is whether expanding Medicaid by 60,000 people would reduce uncompensated care costs enough to lower what the state pays to hospitals to offset it and whether Medicaid costs would be reduced enough under Managed Care to pay for that expansion?
If the expansion happens, the state would receive more than $400 million in federal dollars in the upcoming biennium while spending very little money beyond administrative costs, according to Health and Human Services officials, while the state would not have to contribute until three years down the road.
The ultimate question becomes, if the Legislature comes to a stalemate, does Hassan move forward on her own to expand Medicaid?
Moving forward by executive order would surely make New Hampshire a test case. Other states' governors have backed expansion, but as yet no legislature has blocked their governor's decision.
Continuing the Pressure: Hassan will be one of the featured speakers at press conference Tuesday dubbed "Why NH Can't Wait for Medicaid Expansion."
Hassan will be joined by at least three state residents currently without health insurance who would be covered if the state decides to expand Medicaid.
The press conference is at 11 a.m. in the Legislative Office Building.
Reporters and their news organizations that cover the Legislature are usually included, but were not this time.
Also, two positions that used to be listed as officers of the Senate - the Senate clerk and the Senate sergeant at arms - are now listed as Senate staff while the House continues to list the House clerk and House sergeant at arms as House officers.
They said the clerk is not a constitutional officer but rather elected and paid by the Senate, so is part of the staff.
A Thank You: Sens. Nancy Stiles, R-Hampton, and Lou D'Allesandro, D-Manchester, were absent from Thursday's Senate session.
The Senate Finance Committee hurried through its final work on the state budget Tuesday so D'Allesandro could leave on his trip.

Dwarf Galaxies Orbiting the Andromeda Galaxy unexplained by Dark matter

"A Vast Thin Plane of Co-rotating Dwarf Galaxies Orbiting the Andromeda Galaxy"
Published in Nature 3 days ago.
Rodrigo A. Ibata, Geraint F. Lewis, Anthony R. Conn, Michael J. Irwin, Alan W. McConnachie, Scott C. Chapman, Michelle L. Collins, Mark Fardal, Annette M. N. Ferguson, Neil G. Ibata, A. Dougal Mackey, Nicolas F. Martin, Julio Navarro, R. Michael Rich, David Valls-Gabaud, Lawrence M. Widrow
(Submitted on 3 Jan 2013)
" Dwarf satellite galaxies are thought to be the remnants of the population of primordial structures that coalesced to form giant galaxies like the Milky Way. An early analysis noted that dwarf galaxies may not be isotropically distributed around our Galaxy, as several are correlated with streams of HI emission, and possibly form co-planar groups. These suspicions are supported by recent analyses, and it has been claimed that the apparently planar distribution of satellites is not predicted within standard cosmology, and cannot simply represent a memory of past coherent accretion. However, other studies dispute this conclusion. Here we report the existence (99.998% significance) of a planar sub-group of satellites in the Andromeda galaxy, comprising approximately 50% of the population. The structure is vast: at least 400 kpc in diameter, but also extremely thin, with a perpendicular scatter <14.1 kpc (99% confidence). Radial velocity measurements reveal that the satellites in this structure have the same sense of rotation about their host. This finding shows conclusively that substantial numbers of dwarf satellite galaxies share the same dynamical orbital properties and direction of angular momentum, a new insight for our understanding of the origin of these most dark matter dominated of galaxies. Intriguingly, the plane we identify is approximately aligned with the pole of the Milky Way's disk and is co-planar with the Milky Way to Andromeda position vector. The existence of such extensive coherent kinematic structures within the halos of massive galaxies is a fact that must be explained within the framework of galaxy formation and cosmology. "
Together with the papers by Kroupa and Pawlowski of 2012 that are cited in the article's bibliography, this foresees a deep crisis in the Dark matter models, what do you guys think?
BTW, one of the coauthors of this paper (Neil Ibata) is only 15 years old ,wow! Not many people can say they published in Nature at 15.

Nice find! at the moment you don't have the arxiv link in your post, so I will contribute it
If you have a moment, could you explain in simple terms roughly why this leads to a crisis in DM models?
Here's a quote from the end of their "conclusions" section on page 6:
==quote 1301.0446==
... A further possibility is that we are witnessing accretion along filamentary structures that are fortuitously aligned. In-situ formation may be possible if the planar satellite galaxies formed like tidal-dwarf galaxies (TDG) in ancient gas-rich galaxy mergers7, but then the dwarf galaxies should be essentially devoid of dark matter. If the planar M31 dwarfs are dynamically-relaxed, the absence of dark matter would be greatly at odds with inferences from detailed observations25 of Milky Way satellites assuming the standard theory of gravity. An alternative possibility is that gas was accreted preferentially onto dark matter sub-halos that were already orbiting in this particular plane, but then the origin of the plane of sub-haloes would still require explanation. We conclude 6
that it remains to be seen whether galaxy formation models within the current cosmological framework can explain the existence of this vast, thin, rotating structure of dwarf galaxies within the halo of our nearest giant galactic neighbour.
What I'm thinking is that there may be some explanation within the domain of galaxy formation models that does not involve a crisis or disruption of our basic view of dark matter.
they seem to be thinking along those lines, but as yet have not come up with a plausible scenario.
You mentioned a Kroupa Pawlowski paper from 2012, in their references. I think this is it:
7. Pawlowski, M. S., Pflamm-Altenburg, J. & Kroupa, P. The VPOS: a vast polar structure of satellite galaxies, globular clusters and streams around the Milky Way. Monthly Notices of the Royal Astronomical Society 423, 1109–1126 (2012).
I will get a link.
The VPOS: a vast polar structure of satellite galaxies, globular clusters and streams around the Milky Way
M. S. Pawlowski, J. Pflamm-Altenburg, P. Kroupa
(Submitted on 23 Apr 2012)
It has been known for a long time that the satellite galaxies of the Milky Way (MW) show a significant amount of phase-space correlation, they are distributed in a highly inclined Disc of Satellites (DoS). We have extended the previous studies on the DoS by analysing for the first time the orientations of streams of stars and gas, and the distributions of globular clusters within the halo of the MW. It is shown that the spatial distribution of MW globular clusters classified as young halo clusters (YH GC) is very similar to the DoS, while 7 of the 14 analysed streams align with the DoS. The probability to find the observed clustering of streams is only 0.3 per cent when assuming isotropy. The MW thus is surrounded by a vast polar structure (VPOS) of subsystems (satellite galaxies, globular clusters and streams), spreading from Galactocentric distances as small as 10 kpc out to 250 kpc. These findings demonstrate that a near-isotropic infall of cosmological sub-structure components onto the MW is essentially ruled out because a large number of infalling objects would have had to be highly correlated, to a degree not natural for dark matter sub-structures. The majority of satellites, streams and YH GCs had to be formed as a correlated population. This is possible in tidal tails consisting of material expelled from interacting galaxies. We discuss the tidal scenario for the formation of the VPOS, including successes and possible challenges. The potential consequences of the MW satellites being tidal dwarf galaxies are severe. If all the satellite galaxies and YH GCs have been formed in an encounter between the young MW and another gas-rich galaxy about 10-11 Gyr ago, then the MW does not have any luminous dark-matter substructures and the missing satellites problem becomes a catastrophic failure of the standard cosmological model.

The other alternative is to come up with such contrived models of galaxy formation that they lose all explanatory power.

Dwarf Galaxies Orbiting the Andromeda Galaxy unexplained by Dark matter
Does the following contribute to higher velocities of stars and clusters at the outer edges of spiral galaxies?
When stars, clusters and matter first approach a galaxy, wouldnt they likely be traveling at higher velocities than the rotational velocities of the stars already in the galaxy. So as they merge, wouldnt they then tend to increase the rotational speed of the stars and clusters already there, starting with those at the rim edge, as well as slowing down themselves, all due to gravitational interaction?

Stir the Lees, If You Please
"The yeast lees were stirred every three to four weeks for eight months."... Geyser Peak Winemaker Mick Schroeter
The Rest of the Story
Solids form during and after fermentation. They settle slowly to the bottom of the vessel and the wine is drained off. BUT WAIT! The French have known for years that, if properly handled, the sediment can add flavor. So, about 20 years ago, some California vintners started aging Chardonnay on the lees, even stirring it periodically to increase the contact.
I have seen them settle through a glass-ended barrel such as that in the photo. Typically, there are three bands, opaque solids on the bottom, a cloudy layer above the solids, and then a very clear layer on top. Obviously, stirring is needed to provide continuing contact. As an aside, in Burgundy the lees of some wines are so prized that after the contact is ended, the sediment is transfered to lesser wines to give them a flavor boost. In Chardonnay, that boost is a creamy complexity... which you certainly can find in...

Avi Buffalo | 10/09/14
We are pleased to welcome new signing Avi Buffalo to the Domino family. Embarking upon a sophomore effort can be a daunting task for any young upstart, and there's no denying Avi Buffalo's own bar was set quite high with 2010's celebrated eponymous debut. Fear not, dear fans/family/friends/friends of friends/newcomers, there's nothing in this tale about The Second Album—a.k.a. At Best Cuckold, due September 8th in Europe and September 9th in North America on Sub Pop—that even remotely...
Trevor Powers, who plays under the name Youth Lagoon, has released two records 'Year of Hibernation' (2011) and 'Wonderous Bughouse' (2013) on Fat Possum Records. Both records have received high marks from publications such as Pitchfork who called Year of Hibernation "compulsively listenable music that explodes at just the right moments " and the AV Club who called Wonderous Bughouse "impressively sophisticated and compelling". After touring extensively for most of 2013, Powers is back in Boise working on his third full length record.

Time Warner to cut costly channels with low ratings
The amount of money the cable company pays to content providers is "out of whack," says CEO Glenn Britt.
AMC (AMCX), for example, is now engaged in fierce contract re-negotiations with Verizon (VZ), and has warned that Verizon customers might soon lose its channels. Over the summer, DirecTV (DTV) and Viacom (VIAB) also had a contractual skirmish that resulted in a 10-day blackout of Viacom channels for DirecTV customers before a carriage deal was reached.
Indeed, pay TV operators have become more and more vocal with their complaints about how programming costs have become increasingly expensive.
Last month, DirecTV CEO Mike White said in an earnings call, "I think we're going to continue to see very, very tough discussions by all distributors with content providers, to try and mitigate these outrageous cost increases that are unaffordable to the average customer."
The latest to fire a salvo is Time Warner Cable (TWC) CEO Glenn Britt. Speaking at the UBS 40th Annual Global Media and Communications Conference, Britt said, "We're going to take a hard look at each service, and those services that cost too much relative to the viewership, we're going to drop them."
Britt noted that since 2008, Time Warner's programming cost per customer has increased by more than 30%, while the prices it charges video customers have only gone up 15%. The amount of money his company paid to Hollywood giants was "out of whack," he said.
"If you have a network that has hashmark ratings [low audiences] and isn't going anywhere, we're going to have a different conversation" when Time Warner renegotiates contracts after the current ones expire, compared to those "we had with them five, six, or 10 years ago," added Britt.
Cable TV operators have struggled with cord-cutting in recent years, with anemic growth in the market as customers turn to the likes of Netflix (NFLX) and YouTube (GOOG). In the third quarter of 2012, the cable TV industry as a whole lost 127,000 subscribers.
Britt said that cord-cutting "appears to be fairly minor at the moment," but nonetheless said that to the extent that it is happening, some of the blame has to go to content providers. "Programming and packages keep getting more and more expensive. This stuff is just starting to cost too much," he said. "It's out of touch with consumers. It can't continue that way for another 10 or 20 years."
At the start of the year, Time Warner engaged in its own fierce dispute with the MSG Network (MSG) over high costs, but the cable giant eventually relented after Jeremy Lin reignited fan fervor over the New York Knicks.
More from Minyanville
Time Warmer, Verizon, Direct TV and Dish and all other cable operators should be very hard on these cable channels and on how much they will pay for content. I don't like to pay for each channel on a individual basis just because it is on the cable. I never watch ESPN so I don't need it or 10 golf channels on my set . I have Verizon and have hundreds of channels and most of them I never watch but they cost me money monthly.
I say if the providers want to jack up the fee 20 or 30% just dump them.

Doctor Who star Alex Kingston will join Kenneth Branagh to play that famously bewitched couple the Macbeths.
The actors, who cut their theatrical teeth at the Royal Shakespeare Company, will lead the Manchester International Festival production of Macbeth, which will be performed in a deconsecrated church in the city centre, from July 5 for just a two-week run — though there will be a one-off live broadcast on July 20.
Alex often returns to the stage — she was in Michael Grandage's production of Luisa Miller at the Donmar two years ago — but hasn't been back to the Bard since playing Desdemona at the Birmingham Rep two decades ago.

Doctor Who star Alex Kingston has signed up to play Dinah Lance, the estranged mother Laurel Lance (Katie Cassidy) in Arrow.
According to Entertainment Weekly, Dinah Lance will make her debut later in 2013, seeking to make amends with the family she deserted following the death of her daughter – Laurel's sister – Sarah (Jacqueline MacInnes Wood) in the accident that marooned Oliver Queen (Stephen Amell).
As we've mentioned before, the Arrow executive producers are huge fans of Who. First they cast Jack in a key role, now they've cast River.

BBC Worldwide Sales & Distribution Latin America anunció hoy un acuerdo con OnDIRECTV, canal exclusivo para los suscriptores de DIRECTV en Latinoamérica, para la sexta temporada del popular show de ciencia ficción Doctor Who.
La sexta temporada de Doctor Who de la BBC está repartida en dos partes, la primera empieza en Estados Unidos en 1960 y fue escrita por el autor principal y el productor ejecutivo Steven Moffat (Sherlock). La serie sigue las aventuras icónico del Doctor, un misterioso viajero que viaja a lo largo del espacio y del tiempo, enfrentándose a monstruos y recogiendo compañeros en el camino.
Los actores principales son Matt Smith (el Doctor), Karen Gillan (Amy Pond), Arthur Darvill (Rory) y Alex Kingston (River Song). Los actores invitados incluyen a Hugh Bonneville (Downton Abbey), Mark Sheppard (Supernatural, Battlestar Galactica), la supermodelo Lily Cole (The Imaginarium of Doctor Parnassus) y James Corden (Gavin & Stacey, The History Boys).
"Después de emitirse la reciente serie de Doctor Who, ¡nuestros suscriptores nos han pedido más!", señaló Willard Tressel, Gerente General de OnDIRECTV.
OnDIRECTV y OnDIRECTV HD es un canal exclusivo para los suscriptores de DIRECTV en Latinoamérica: OnDIRECTV: Canal 201y OnDIRECTV HD: canal 1004.
Latin America is getting Doctor Who Series 6 via OnDIRECTV. (Latin American Whovians rejoice!)
We'll announce the premiere date once it's available.
ER and Doctor Who vet Alex Kingston has been cast in a November sweeps episode of TV's most watched drama series as Miranda Pennebaker, a "woman of questionable morals," series boss Gary Glasberg tells TVLine exclusively.
Pennebaker, Glasberg previews, "deals in everything from high end weapons sales to priceless gems. Her connections go all the way up the ladder of D.C. politics, and Gibbs needs her for this very disturbing, emotional case." In fact, Kingston's character proves so valuable, she is already being eyed for an encore.
But awesome.

First: MAJOR SPOILERS. You may want to save this interview for after Saturday night.
Second: it's a really good piece about Alex and all that she has been up to including, of course, Doctor Who.
These days, Kingston is most recognizable for her role as fan favorite Professor River Song on Doctor Who. Originally slated to appear in just two episodes of the immensely popular science fiction series in 2008, the character proved to be so popular after her death that River's creator, current Who head writer Steven Moffat, brought her back, enmeshing River and the Doctor (Matt Smith) in an ongoing storyline reminiscent of The Time Traveler's Wife. As the two cross paths at different points in time, each is never sure what shared events have occurred yet or which way the other is traveling.
Alex Kingston was yesterday's episode of the BBC One program 'Who Do You Think You Are' where she found out that her great great great grandmother ran a house of 'ill repute'.
Best reaction ever, she is so bloody adorable.

Jerusalem • Israeli defense officials say that Palestinian militants in the Gaza Strip have for the first time fired an anti-aircraft missile at Israeli aircraft.
The officials say the militants fired the Strela shoulder-fired missile at an Israeli helicopter operating over Gaza last week, but missed their target.
|Join the Discussion
|Post a Comment
The officials, speaking under condition of anonymity because they were discussing a military operation, said Israeli intelligence has long believed that Gaza militants possessed these weapons, but this was the first time they were fired. They said the air force has taken special precautions for several years assuming the threat existed.
Israel believes the weapons originated in Libya and were smuggled through tunnels along the Egyptian border.
Palestinian militant groups have never acknowledged possessing the weapons.
