Located just west of Beaver, Minersville Reservoir is one of southern Utah's most popular Blue Ribbon fisheries. Every year, the reservoir attracts thousands of anglers from Utah and Nevada. They come to the reservoir to enjoy some of the finest trophy-sized trout fishing in southern Utah.
Recently, the hydraulic ram that controls the outlet gate at the reservoir needed to be repaired. The easiest way to make the repair was fairly simple: Expose the ram by draining the water out of the lake. This approach had a serious downside, though: It would severely threaten the survival of the reservoir's fish population, a population biologists had worked for years to establish.
Hepworth, regional aquatics manager for the Utah Division of Wildlife Resources, couldn't see that happen. He knew there had to be a better way. "I just hated to lose all of those big fish," he says.
Hepworth contacted the Rocky Ford Irrigation Company. He learned that divers could repair the outlet for about $30,000. If divers could make the needed repairs, the reservoir would not have to be drained.
But where would the money come from? Hepworth approached several groups and individuals to find out.
"I was very pleased," he says, "and impressed with the response I got. Several groups and individuals came together and provided the money to do the work."
Hepworth says a diving company was contacted and a contract was issued. In October and November, the large ram, weighing nearly 900 pounds, was removed from the lake, repaired and reinstalled.
In addition to private donations received from concerned anglers, Hepworth says several organizations came forward to provide funding and support.
"Without the help of these organizations and individual anglers," he says, "most of the fish in Minersville would have been lost."
Hepworth says several organizations stepped forward. They include the Beaver County Commission, the Las Vegas Fly Fishing Club, the Las Vegas chapter of Trout Unlimited, the Rocky Ford Irrigation Company, Southern Utah Anglers, Sportsmen for Fish and Wildlife, Utah's Blue Ribbon Fisheries Advisory Council and the Utah Habitat Council.
"The ram is back in place," Hepworth says, "and fishing at Minersville should continue without interruption."

My opinion (Frito): It's OK. Problem is that some of her videos were in the "Greatest of ALL TIME" catagory, and to be honest…she just can't do it anymore. Average. Just like the song. Just like her at this point in her career. Time to take a few years off and return for a "greatest hits" tour. Feel otherwise? Leave a comment and let me know why I'm wrong.

Comcast's broadband worth more than all of TWC
The cable operator's investments in broadband networks have certainly paid off.
To offset these losses, the cable companies have resorted to investment in their broadband networks to improve speeds and increase their high-margin broadband subscriber base.
That has certainly paid off for Comcast -- it's interesting to note that Comcast is not only worth much more than Time Warner Cable (which is to be expected given its much higher subscriber count), but according to our estimates, Comcast's broadband internet business is now worth more than all of Time Warner Cable.
We estimate Comcast's value to be around $72.5 billion and further estimate that its broadband business constitutes about 35% of this estimated value. The 35% figure comes from estimated cash flows contributed by the broadband business and the expected growth in these cash flows. This implies that Comcast's broadband business is worth $25 billion. On the other hand, we estimate that TWC's total value is around $21 billion (compared to its market cap of about $22 billion), implying that Comcast's broadband business alone is worth more than Time Warner Cable.
If we just compare our estimates for the value of each broadband division, Comcast's broadband business is worth almost 2.9 times as much as Time Warner Cable's business.
A quick look at fundamental cost drivers suggests that capital expenditures (as percentage of sales) as well as operating margins are more or less similar for the two. Revenue drivers suggest that while the average fee per subscriber is similar for the two companies, Comcast's broadband market share is almost twice that of Time Warner Cable. Thus, intuitively one might think that Comcast's broadband business should be worth twice as much as Time Warner Cable's. However, Time Warner Cable's higher leverage (debt relative to cash flows and/or equity) makes the stock more volatile and sensitive to changes in fundamental value drivers, thus pulling down its value.
While comparing Comcast's broadband division to Time Warner's is certainly not an apples-to-apples comparison given the difference in scale, it's interesting to see just how valuable these companies' broadband networks have become.
Our price estimate for Comcast stands at $26.60, implying a slight premium to the current market price. See our complete analysis for Comcast.

Six years ago, Michael Sullivan lived in a comfortable brownstone in Boston's South End. It was a nice place to rent, but he was pushing 30 and wanted a home of his own.
He took a second job, bartending on weekends, but most Boston homes remained out of his price range, and he did not want to live in the suburbs. He had given up when, browsing Craigslist, he saw an ad for a 55-foot houseboat in Charlestown, which he went to tour.

The Crystal Method
M-Audio gear at the heart of a new studio, new album and new tour
When it comes to electronic dance music, The Crystal Method is nothing short of iconic. In the fifteen years since crafting their first beat together, Ken Jordan and Scott Kirkland have been featured in countless films, TV shows and video games—and scored a Grammy nomination along the way. The duo recently replaced their legendary Bomb Shelter studio with their sparkling new Crystalwerks facility and emerged with a new album, Divided by Night, plus new world tour to match. As you might expect, M-Audio gear is at the heart of it all. M-Pulse caught up with The Crystal Method at the Los Angeles warehouse where the legendary electronica artists were putting the final touches on their live stage show.
Performing Live with Axiom Pro
The Crystal Method are known for high-energy, dynamic live sets that often incorporate live remixes and mashups of their most popular tracks. Instead of playing a simplified DJ set like some electronic groups do, Ken and Scott actually perform their songs live—triggering samples and playing key synth lines over dense sequenced backgrounds. "The live show has always been a mainstay of The Crystal Method," explains Ken. "When we first started, we wanted to be taken seriously as a band and make sure we weren't misrepresented as a DJ team. So of course for the first new album in five years we had to bring out some new gear, a new stage and put on a great show."
In preparation for the upcoming Divided By Night tour, the duo acquired two new M-Audio Axiom Pro 49 MIDI controllers to serve as the centerpiece of their stage rig. "Every control is mapped to something different," reveals Ken. "We use the faders to control filter resonance, delay feedback, and volume levels for each instrument—allowing us to adjust the mix from stage. The trigger pads are used to fire samples from our computers. The Axiom Pro really simplifies everything so we can concentrate on our performance."
Over the years, The Crystal Method's live rig has continually evolved to the point where now, nearly every musical aspect of their performance can be controlled from stage. As Scott jokingly puts it, the group has "come a long way from using hollowed-out DX7s and tossing them around the stage." Thanks to the Axiom Pro controllers, the duo has been able to reduce their onstage rig and get closer to the crowd. "With the Axiom Pro keyboards set up at the front of the stage, the audience can see everything that we are doing," relates Ken. "Being able to visually connect with the audience makes our shows a lot more enjoyable both for us and our fans."
Getting Ready for the Road
Preparing for the Divided by Night tour involved a lot of pre-production studio work for Ken and Scott. "We basically remixed and reproduced all of our tracks," states Ken. "We stripped out the live parts and sequenced the background elements so we could play everything back from our system on stage. We try to breathe new life into our songs when performing live, while still keeping the basic elements in place. That helps convey the excitement of the original tracks." Scott continues, "In the past, recreating our tracks was always difficult. Now we're a lot better about archiving patches and documenting our sessions. Thanks to Pro Tools|HD, we now have unlimited tracks to play with and total recall of our settings. It makes pre-production a whole lot easier."
Evacuating the Bomb Shelter
For years, The Crystal Method made music out of the "Bomb Shelter"—a recording studio built into the garage of their Glendale, CA house. From there, the team produced some of their most successful releases, including Vegas, Tweekend and Legion of Boom. Before getting started on Divided By Night, however, Ken and Scott decided to make the move to a new facility. "Our old studio was very 'cozy,'" laughs Scott. "Over time we started to feel more and more claustrophobic. Plus we accumulated a huge mess of cords. It got to the point where, instead of crawling back into the spider pit to re-patch a faulty cable we would just, well, run another one!"
Moving into a new location and building a new studio gave Ken and Scott the opportunity to switch over to the latest Pro Tools system. "Once we learned all the new plug-ins and workflow tricks it didn't take long to make progress on the new record," relates Scott. One of the first songs that started to come together was the title track, "Divided by Night." Ironically, it was the last one we ended up finishing. We knew the track had potential, but we struggled trying to find the right direction. Our good friend Jon Brion came by with his little Casio keyboard and sang the vocoder line, which really helped that song take off."
More to Come
With a new studio and new M-Audio gear firmly in hand, fans don't have to worry about there being an end in sight for The Crystal Method. After the Divided by Night tour, they plan to return to Crystalwerks to do remixes of some material that's been calling them for awhile, hit the road again for a few more tours and then start working on their next album. For Ken and Scott, the future is crystal clear.

Spatial SomeonePosted by Rusty Banks in Uncategorized
Kennesaw State students assist with a soundcheck for HYDROLOGY.
When I was booked to play an Earth Day concert in Birmingham for the ArtBurst concert series, I wanted to add another stop or two in the Southeast. I found Laurence Sherr on the American Composers Forum website and he sent Blue Ridge Frescos for solo guitar. Perfect. It fit my not-so-heavy-handed, eco-themed show for guitar and/or guitar with electronics. I put together a show I call RUSTY BANKS: SPATIAL SOMEONE. It featured works by composers who have some tie to the South.
Laurence agreed to bring me to Kennesaw State University (a bit north of Hot-lanta) to do some comp lessons, guitar lessons, a lecture, and a concert.
My favorite thing about Kennesaw was the cross-pollination going on between the performance and composition elements on campus. Often, the guitar students would have original pieces to show me. Mary Akerman (Instructor of Guitar) was very supportive of this, and seems to do much to foster students to be creative as well as athletic (her students are as technically sound as they are creative).
There was a time when separating music into composition and performance to the extent we do now could not have been imagined.

@tagURIT: Thanks for the heads up. That's why I'm drawing this, so I can practice everything involved in making manga
@Fen: Hmmmm... I think I didn't make the transition within page 10 clear enough =/. Let me make sure you know what happened so you can help me with what's wrong: Claus runs off to get some seaweed he'd caught the day before for Tyra (by mistake while attempting to catch fish), but he runs into Todd (he'll be further introduced later) who gives him a scary look. Anyways, he gets the seaweed and begins to run back to Tyra. While he's gone, Derel (a new character) shows up and delivers some dry seaweed from Tom (a character that we haven't met yet.) Thanks!
@Ramiel: I've heard that rule before but does it work for children too? Like pre-teen? O and I made the guy with his chin up looking down to give him more of an arrogant demeanor... but I really like the idea of turning his back. Thanks =)

An Alford plea is not an admission of guilt. A defendant entering an Alford plea agrees to be found guilty without admitting he or she committed the crime. The defendant acknowledges there is enough evidence against him or her to be convicted. It is often entered to avoid a greater penalty and is treated as a guilty plea.
The term originated with the United States Supreme Court's decision in North Carolina v. Alford in 1971, where the Supreme Court held that guilty pleas linked with claims of innocence may be accepted provided the "defendant intelligently concludes that his interests require entry of a guilty plea and the record before the judge contains strong evidence of actual guilt."
All pleas, including an Alford plea, must meet the general requirement that the defendant knowingly, voluntarily, and intelligently waived his or her right to trial.
Alford pleas make up a small percentage of all plea bargains in the U.S., as some jurisdictions outside of Ohio do not accept this type of plea bargain.

Christmas in Nicaragua
Christmas in Nicaragua resembles Christmas elsewhere in that it varies much with the individual and family. For some it is deeply religious, for others it is a more secular holiday that provides an excuse for family gatherings, and for others still it`s a giant exercise in hyper-consumerism.
You see some families sponsoring prayer sessions in their homes or yards and people going to services in their church or cathedral. People often travel from across the country or from abroad to visit relatives. Big family dinners are a big part of these reunions. Downtown is crowded with both vehicles and pedestrians, and here in Esteli they give a lot of publicity to extended business hours at the stores. Firecrackers and public drunkenness also somehow fit into the celebrations.
The biggest difference I noticed from Christmas in the United States is that Christmas dinner here is a rather informal thing that takes place at midnight on the 24th instead of a formal dinner on the afternoon of Christmas day. I`m sure it varies from family to family, with the Evangelicals being the odd man out because they don`t drink, but Christmas here seems like a drunken wingding like New Years in the States. Many people stay up drinking heavily, often with the women talking in one part of the house and the men drinking in another.
New Years has its parties, too, but I think a little tamer than in the United States--probably too soon after the big Xmas blowout.
On the practical level, taxis and international buses are running, but ordinarios and expressos will be shut down for one day. These buses will also tend to be humongously crowded before and after the holiday. Here in the North, some restaurants and hotels will be closed for the 24th and 25th. Banks will be shut and very crowded before and after. Government offices are shut down for many days and will be semi-functional when they reopen.
December is a good time to travel in Nicaragua because the weather tends to be pleasant--cool, sunny, and calm. Just have your reservations and try to be in place before the holiday rush.
To follow up the above by Billy Bob, which contains excellent information, here are some of my random thoughts:
As in most Latin cultures, Christmas is actually not that much of a big deal in Nicaragua. Easter week (Semana Santa) is the major annual holiday and plays the same role here that X-mas plays in North America and western Europe. Christmas is almost an afterthought. For most Nicaraguans, the X-mas season is basically not much more than a time to take advantage of the fact that you don't have to pretend to go to work for a whole week.
The common practice here is for extended families to gather on the afternoon of X-mas eve for dinner. The traditional dish for this holiday is Relleno Navideño, a time-consuming, labour-intensive, milky stew of various murky chicken and pork cuts, spices, herbs and dried fruits. Here is an authentic recipe for this dish:
My beloved cooks this dish for me every X-mas eve. The first taste of it makes me nauseous I but don't have the heart to tell her. I hope that one day she gives up and makes me pre-fab stovetop stuffing from a package.
The few Nicaraguan Catholics who remain truly pious and devout make an extra effort to go to mass on the morning of X-mas eve. Beyond that, there ain't much goin' on at the local basilica. In most other Latin countries, the RC church holds a special midnight X-mas eve mass that is remarkably beautiful and moving. The Nica RC churches make a stab at it too but I am told these masses are poorly-attended and not nearly as aesthetic. Most Nicaraguans can't stay up that late at night because they all like to get up in the wee hours of the morning so that they can get an early start on doing nothing for the rest of the day.
On X-mas day the cities and large towns empty out and are dead, dead, dead. Large extended family groups pack into trucks, taxis and rented buses to head to the beaches and rivers to party hearty for days on end. Many of them sleep on the beaches and use them as their personal latrines and garbage dumps. Fly-specked food and liquor vendors pop up on the beaches like mushrooms after a cold, hard rain. They advertise their wares by playing ear-splitting hip-hop selections on ghetto boxes cranked up to the highest setting, well past the point where reverb distortion kicks in, 24 hours a day.
The bootleg, methanol-infused liquor flows like wine and the beaches are gaily decorated by streamers of soiled toilet paper. Don't forget to bring a rusty machete to settle scores with your wife's youngest brother who's being making google-eyes lately at at the luscious, adolescent, nubile young niece you've been trying to cut out of the family harem for a whole year so that you can have her all to yourself when she finally comes into heat!
The large and growing number of Nicaraguan evangelical Christians want nothing to do with celebrating Christmas. They associate all traditional X-mas celebrations with the corruption, paganism, sexual perversion, substance abuse and overall degeneracy of everyday life in Nicaragua, which they associate (unkindly but not inaccurately) with Catholicism. Their approach is to lock themselves up in their cultos starting in the early in the afternoon of X-Mas eve and stay there into the wee hours of X-mas morning, praying and moaning to themselves as if to shut out the noise and drunken disorder of a Nicaraguan holiday in the post-civil-war era.
Some practical considerations:
Most businesses stay open for extended hours leading up until X-mas and then shut down early in the afternoon of X-mas eve. Then it's back to full business on the day after Christmas.
In the run-up to X-mas, the Walmart-owned Pali supermarkets become even more crowded, filthy and out-of-stock; and as hard as it is to believe, their cashiers become even more surly, abusive and incompetent than usual. This is one of the times of year when I envy people who live in cities that are big enough to support higher-end supermarkets such as La Union or Colonia, or cities like Estelí, which have a range of independent supermarkets.
As an alternative, most of the food stalls in the open-air markets shut down shortly after noon on the day before X-mas but there are always several that stay open all day and re-open on X-mas day.
A wise strategy would be to plan to avoid the Palis for 3 or 4 days leading up to the X-mas rush. My advice is to stock up and refrigerate foods that no-one in his right mind would buy in the open-air markets, such as meats and dairy, several days before X-mas Eve. Otherwise, you can pick up just about any basic foodstuffs you want right through X-mas day and beyond in the open-air markets. Vegetarians should have no trouble putting together a meal from stuff they buy in the open-air markets on X-mas day.
As Billy Bob notes, all the banks close for a couple of days. For whatever reason, their ATMS also lose tend to lose the will to live and shut down at some point around noon on the day before X-mas and may not re-open until several days after X-mas. This means you have to stock up on cash in advance to see you through these days.
Forget about getting any service from government offices between the week before X-mas and Tues. Jan. 8.
Do not under any circumstances hit the road between the morning of X-mas eve and the day after X-mas, whether you are taking public transit or driving. The roads will be so clogged you won't get anywhere, and 50% of the other drivers will be more drunk than a Sandinista government functionary on a free junket to Cuba to attend a memorial service to commemorate Muammar Gaddafi's contributions to anti-colonialism.
Now let's talk turkey: You can get these frozen butterball things at just about any supermarket but don't forget that they can take as long as 4 days in the frig to dethaw and another day to cook. Buy one at least 5 days in advance.
OK I'm done. Feliz Navidad!
Christmas dinner
I had the chance a few years back to buy the Christmas Dinner meat and asked my Nica family that I was staying with what they prefered ham or turkey? Oh pavo please, I was waitng for the prices to go down at Pali as the date got closer and it did the day before and I bought one, when I returned with it they said they had something to tell me. OK what is it? We don't know how to cook one. I took it for granted that they have had turkey before, but like many things I learned that this was not the case. So I said it so happens I do. I went back to the store to find stuffing and tried some other stores and none was to be found, so I grabbed some nacatomale mix (masa mix) cut up and added vegtables and chicken broth and stuffed the thing, made a baste out of 1/2 honey and pineapple juice with fresh peices of pineaple on top held on with some wooden picks, I could not find tooth pics. We had the midnight dinner and everyone seemed to like it. The next day I thought we would be eating left overs, but didn't see the turkey in the fridge and non was being served, but later found it still in the oven and thought they didn't like it, but in the end they liked it so much they didn't want some of the others staying there to know about it? So I guess it worked out OK in the end.
Just a note on ...
"The bootleg, methanol-infused liquor flows like wine..." It's not that I don't recognize sarcasm laid down with poetic license, but gross misinformation in an otherwise factual context needs correction. Methanol in guaro was a one time tragedy that killed some 45 people here in Leon & Poneloya. My neighbor, a handsome, young man from a prominent family, survived albeit permanently brain-damaged. Extending homemade rum with methanol was a stupid mistake (aimed at boosting profit) that arose from honest ignorance. Methanol is delivered by tank truck from ships that dock in Corinto to a foam manufacturer in Tipitapa. With paperwork reading methyl alcohol, so like ethyl alcohol, one wonders if the 'm' wasn't legible or 'they' just read no further than 'alcohol'. From whaterever private germ of stupidity, a driver worked out a deal with bootleggers in nearby Chichigalpa, to siphon off a couple hundred gallons to be blended with their usual distillate for local distribution. It's sold out of 55-gal plastic drums with ladle & funnel for a buck a liter (bring your own jug). No one intended to kill their own best customers. Many went to jail. And guaro was hard to buy for a couple months.
Most of the stuff sold by hawkers on the beaches during feriada is cheap off-brands like Perla, Caballo & Ron Plata, not Pellas' FdC. Cane field workers can't afford aged FdC.
Lest any gringo mistakenly nurture a superiority complex to 'those dumb Nicas', remember all those north American kids that die or become disfunctional schizoids from poorly cooked meth, doped (or excess) oxycotin, ecstasy, smack, crack, &c., &c. in vain attempts to temporarily relieve the pains of life in the modern world. (Not to mention the bums & derelicts deliberately drinking photocopy toner &/or spoons of Sterno - both direct sources of methanol.)
What I've heard regarding Christmas stealing around here
It's a combination of traveling pros and coffee workers who have now run through the money they made last season. Getting a lump sum or a couple of big payouts during coffee cutting season -- it's not easy to budget big money all at once that well (writers actually have a same problem, but are a bit more likely to be able to borrow against the next contract).
The stealing season around here apparently is over in February when the coffee money starts up again. Or so I was told.

good advice..

Got a question on rule clarification, comments on rule enforcements or some memorable NHL stories? Kerry wants to answer your emails at firstname.lastname@example.com.
Hi Kerry,
As I'm sure you've seen, in Sunday's game in Chicago between the Blackhawks and the Edmonton Oilers, Chicago made an unfortunate gaffe resulting in an own goal with their goalie out of the net for an extra attacker. As the puck slid toward the open net, Oilers' forward Mark Arcobello gave chase while Blackhawks' defenceman Nick Leddy tried to prevent it from crossing the goal line. Arcobello, unable to touch the puck because of the Oilers' delayed penalty, changed course to slow Leddy down enough to ensure the puck went in the net.
Leddy really didn't have a chance at stopping the puck, so his being slowed down made no difference. But I was wondering, had it been a close play, where Leddy's path to the puck would have made the difference between a goal and a save, would Arcobello have been penalized for going out of his way to prevent Leddy from accessing the puck? A disallowed goal? Interference penalty (in addition to the delayed one)? Or would that have been a legal play?
Josh BernierWinnipeg, Manitoba
Hi Josh,
It was a bizarre play when Patrick Kane put the puck into his own unguarded net during a delayed slashing penalty called against Oilers goalie Devan Dubnyk. Kane's intended back-pass to the blue line travelled the entire length of the ice and split the wicket well before Blackhawk's defenceman Nick Leddy could reach the puck.
You bring up an interesting point with regard to a potential interference call on a play such as this when Mark Arcobello sprinted across the path of Nick Leddy. You correctly stated Josh, that Leddy was unable to get to the puck in advance of it crossing the goal line in spite of Arcobello's minimally invasive action. The fact that Leddy could not have gotten to the puck in time however, should have no bearing on whether an interference penalty was warranted.
As I am sure you recall, the standard of enforcement for Rule 56 (Interference) changed drastically in the 2006 season following a return from the first NHL lockout in a concerted effort to eliminate what was then referred to as "obstruction". Let's examine the language and application of Rule 56 as it might apply to this situation.
• A strict standard on acts of interference must be adhered to in all areas of the rink.
• Body position shall be determined as the player skating in front of or beside his opponent, traveling in the same direction.
• A player is allowed the ice he is standing on (body position) and is not required to move in order to let an opponent proceed. A player may "block" the path of an opponent provided he is in front of his opponent and moving in the same direction. Moving laterally and without establishing body position, then making contact with the non-puck carrier is not permitted and will be penalized as interference.
• A player is always entitled to use his body position to lengthen an opponent's path to the puck, provided his stick is not utilized (to make himself "bigger" and therefore considerably lengthening the distance his opponent must travel to get where he is going).
• A player delivering a "pick" is one who moves into an opponent's path without having body position, thereby taking him out of the play. When this is done, an interference penalty shall be assessed.
On this play, Arcobello executed a perfect, legal, "moving pick" when he sprinted to gain the ice in advance of Leddy and continued to move through that ice with very minimal alteration to his speed and direction. It was especially important that physical contact with the Hawks player did not result. These were crucial components with regard to the legality of the play since Arcobello cut laterally across the path of his opponent as opposed to travelling in front of or beside and in the same direction of Leddy.
If Arcobello, after deliberately moving laterally across the path of Leddy, had slowed considerably, stopped or made contact with Leddy, an interference penalty would have been deserved whether Leddy could have prevented the puck from entering the net or not. If that were to have taken place, the referee should immediately blow his whistle and assess a penalty to Arcobello for interference in addition to the delayed penalty signaled to Dubnyk. The subsequent goal would then be disallowed.
As we moved forward from 2006, the 'expected' standard of enforcement regarding interference is that the illegal act should be penalized in all cases as opposed to the result or consequence to the play!

How in the world did someone climb at least 30 feet in the air, in the middle of Jackson, Mississippi, on the Interstate, in defiance of traffic cameras, and paint cryptic sayings on the overhanging signs? And why did they write things like "Live in this moment," and "This is the path we take," instead of the standard "Hotty Toddy" or "Julie will you marry me?" Whoever did it has created a stir, and has MDOT officials and the City Council mightily upset.
The Clarion Ledger quotes Jackson City Councilwoman Margaret Barrett-Simon as saying "I think this is not an image we want to project (about the city)," she said. "Not to mention it was a terribly dangerous situation for him as well as motorists, dangling over traffic like that." I'm playing amatuer sleuth here, but how does Councilwoman Barrett-Simon know the offender is a "him" instead of a "her." Hmmmm . . .
All kidding aside, Section 97-15-1 of the Mississippi Code Annotated makes such actions a misdemeanor crime in the state of Mississippi. The statute reads:
(2) The penalties prescribed in subsection (1) of this section shall also be applicable to any person, and to the parents of any minor, who willfully defaces, mars or damages any bridge, underpass or overpass.
The state estimates the cost to make the repairs on the signs in Jackson to be $9000.00. Ouch.

Troop 92 - St. Mark Catholic Church
Mr. Hibner's philosophy
Regular advancement is a sign that a scout is enjoying himself and that the troop is providing him with challenges. While we strive for a scout to obtain the rank of First Class within his first year, this goal is only achieved when both the scout and the troop are active. A scout has demonstrated that they have learned valuable outdoor skills when they have reached the rank of First Class. Ranks above and beyond that are primarily dictated by the scouts willingness to accept challenges from new and unfamiliar skill sets learned from merit badges. Merit badges are intended to foster growth from the scout's curiosity of a particular interest and possibly turn it into a lifelong hobby or possibly a career.

Amarillo, TX -- Increased natural gas production both in our area and across the nation could be a significant boost to the U.S. economy despite higher fuel costs.
The Department of Energy recently released a report that says if we exported more natural gas, the revenue would far outweigh the rise in fuel costs - and some of that revenue could make its way to west Texas.
The report says if and when world demand rises, U.S. production could rise along with it to meet that demand. And although the law of supply and demand says more exports would mean higher domestic prices, the increased revenue would far outweigh those increases.
The U.S. is the world's largest producer of natural gas, and Texas is the largest producer in the nation.
Texas produces about 23 percent of the nation's natural gas, but the lion's share of that is sold off. So until we find more ways to use natural gas, it can still serve a purpose as a relatively lucrative commodity that creates both jobs and revenue.
Vice Executive Director of the Panhandle Royalty Owners Association Wayne Hughes explains, "When that market price comes up, it increases the drilling activity, that increases the number of people employed on drilling rigs, and that money that they take home in the form of wages flows through the economy about four times before it's absorbed."
The arguments against selling our gas are higher prices here at home and national security issues by selling to more foreign countries, but Representative Mac Thornberry disputes that argument, saying, "I don't think anybody that we would sell to would pose a future national security issue; among other things, it is making them vulnerable to us if we were to cut it off."
Keep in mind this report is only a report - but research like this is used in legislative decisions.

Employees at Heart of Sullivan Branding
While talking to Michael Thompson for this week's "end of an era" story – which focused the ad agency guru's retirement and the merger of Thompson & Co. into cs2 to form Sullivan Branding – I was intrigued by his concern for his employees.
The combined 80-person firm will be comprised of 64 employees in its Memphis office and 16 in its Nashville office.
When two firms merge, there is usually a duplication of people and the resulting loss of jobs. But Sullivan Branding is unique in that regard, Thompson said, explaining that only three Thompson employees will be let go.
Thompson once calculated the turnover rate at his firm over five years – 20 percent. That means over 35 years, Thompson & Co. has employed well over 300 people.
But to Thompson, "that's life." And his "training ground" experience has solidified his outlook on leadership.
"Nowadays, employees want more than anything to be heard and to be recognized," he said. "Give them a pat on the back every now and then. My goal was always to employ those who kind of look forward to going to work every morning; no one really wakes up completely wanting to go to work. And when they go home at the end of the day, my hope was that their self-worth had been improved in some way."
Perhaps the fact that cs2 puts on a monthly "Fuel Friday" meeting highlighting employee achievements will even further ease Thompson's "employee-first" mentality.
Brian Sullivan, principal of Sullivan Branding, "called it a hoot-n-holler" type of celebration that recognizes three outstanding employees for their sharp, genuine and fearless performance.
The first Sullivan Branding Fuel Friday was actually held on a Wednesday – yesterday afternoon, in fact, at the new Brass Door off Madison.
"We're indoctrinating the new and the current Fuel Friday on steroids," Sullivan told The Daily News recently. "This meeting will introduce the work that we'll be doing together."

New soot standards issued Dec. 14 by the Environmental Protection Agency reduce by 20 percent the amount of pollution that can be emitted by power plants and other sources of combustion.
The new annual standard for fine particulate matter — PM2.5, or particulate matter smaller than 2.5 micrograms — is 12 micrograms per cubic meter, or ug/m3, down from 15.
Two West Virginia counties — Brooke and Marshall — would not meet that standard based on the three-year average through September 2012, according to Fred Durham at the Department of Environmental Protection's Office of Air Quality. Designations of "nonattainment" will be made in 2014.
However by 2020, when compliance is required, implementation of other air quality rules should bring even those counties into compliance with the annual PM2.5 standard.
Fine particle pollution comes directly from power plants, diesel vehicles, wood-burning stoves and other combustion sources. It also forms indirectly when the combustion pollutants sulfur dioxide and nitrogen oxides meet in the atmosphere.
When people breathe fine particle pollution, it enters the lungs and bloodstream and can cause heart and lung problems and premature death.
EPA estimates health benefits of the revised standard to range from $4 billion to over $9 billion per year, with estimated costs of implementation ranging from $53 million to $350 million.
Because PM2.5 emissions are controlled to some extent through compliance with other emissions standards, the EPA said seven counties nationwide would need additional measures in order to meet the standard by 2020. All are in southern California.
By 2030, it is expected that all standards that cut PM2.5 from diesel vehicles and equipment alone will prevent up to 40,000 premature deaths, 32,000 hospital admissions and 4.7 million days of work lost due to illness.
The EPA set the annual PM2.5 standard at 15 ug/m3 in 1997 but drew legal challenge when it maintained that standard in a 2006 rulemaking. Lawsuits followed and a federal court required the agency to update the standard based on best available science.
The draft rulemaking issued in June proposed to lower the standard to between 12 and 13 micrograms per cubic centimeter.
The new rule affects only the annual standard for PM2.5. The action left in place the existing 24-hour PM2.5 standard, set at 35 ug/m3 in 2006, and the coarse PM limit of 150 ug/m3 that was set in 1987.

PISCATAWAY, N.J. (January 26, 2013) The Rutgers swimming and diving team took home a pair of wins after a day of swimming at the RU Aquatic Center on Saturday, Jan. 26 topping Fordham (162-132) and Rider (219-75).
"Coach Woodruff and the divers had a phenomenal day on the boards," said head coach Phil Spiniello. "We raced well today and put up some times that I am happy to see at this point in the season. I'm proud of where we are at in our training, and our preparation as we are approaching the BIG EAST meet."
The Scarlet Knights grabbed an early lead with the 200 medley relay as the Rutgers 'B' squad featuring Joanna Wu (Kent, Wash.), Greta Leberfinger (Chatham, N.J.), Brittany Guinee (Berkeley Heights, N.J.), and Mary Moser (Wyomissing, Pa.) grabbed the first points of the day as they took the top spot with a 1:46.00 time. The 'A' crew composed of Morgan Pfaff (Red Lion, Pa.), Allyson Perrotti (Branford, Conn.), Sophie Newton (Leesburg, Va.), and Chelsea Rolin (Saint-Lazare, QC, Canada) came in third behind a Fordham squad with a time of 1:49.79.
Next on the docket was the 1000 freestyle where RU senior captain Taylor Zafir (Wheaton, Ill notched a solid first place finish with a 10:26.59 performance. Brogan Lee (Lindstrom, Minn.) touched fourth in the heat with a time of 10:50.94.
Continuing the first place trend, Moser grabbed the top finish in the 200 freestyle event with a 1:54.39 touch. Sarah Coyne (Osceola, Ind.) and Pfaff also added points for the RU team in the 200 freestyle, coming in third (1:56.53) and sixth (1:57.37), respectively.
Freshman Wu grabbed the two-spot in the backstroke, with a 56.27 time. Carlisle finished fourth with a 59.84 touch and fellow Scarlet Knights Lindsay Gibson-Brokop (Edmonton, AB, Canada) and junior Kara Millaci (Whitehouse Station, N.J.) finished with times of 1:01.35 and 1:04.59.
In the 100 breaststroke, Leberfinger took another top finish for the RU team with a 1:05.63 time. Perrotti came in just over a second later at 1:06.78 for a third place finish, and was followed by teammate, Maqueda who finished fourth in 1:07.59.
With the fifth top-spot finish of the day for RU, Guinee finished the 200 butterfly with a 2:06.47 time. Newton touched sixth with a 2:11.98 and was followed by Millaci shortly after with a 2:21.25 mark.
In the 50 free finals, junior Scarlet Knight Moser finished first as she touched in 24.28. Coyne came in at 24.99, good for fourth place, and was followed by Gibson-Brokop (25.40) and Maqueda (25.78).
In the 100 freestyle finals, the Scarlet Knights grabbed the three-spot with Newton touching in at 54.20. Rolin finished fifth in the race with a 54.40 and Coyne followed directly behind with a time of 54.62.

In the final solo event of the day, Zafir took home the top mark in the 400 IM with a 4:25.79 post. Perrotti added points for RU with a 4:39.54 time.

Boies on Colbert
While P and I were in Europe, super lawyers David Boies and Ted Olson, who argued opposite sides of Bush v. Gore before the U.S. Supreme Court in December 2000, and who became friends afterward and teamed up on the Prop 8 case, were on Stephen Colbert's show. You should watch the whole interview, but this part cracked me up:
Olson: I think that [Bush v. Gore] was a solid decision. Of course, I may be a little biased. But I think David agrees actually.
Colbert: I'm afraid we don't have time for his answer.
Boies: That's exactly what the Court said.
Even Colbert, master of the quick-witted response, was impressed.
I got to interview both men in January in New York, which was a great if nervewracking pleasure, and even got to correct Mr. Boies on his baseball knowledge. (My wheelhouse, apparently.) He used Babe Ruth as a metaphor for someone who hits a lot of homeruns but still strikes out a lot —more than anyone else in baseball history, he added. I had to tell him that the Babe was usurped in strikeouts long ago, and that Reggie Jackson holds the mark now. In fact, and obviously I didn't have this knowledge at the time, but the Babe is currently 107th on the career strikeout list with 1330—about half of Reggie's total.
That was a small sidebar, of course. Most of our interview was about the law in general, and the push for the federal constituational right for same-sex marriage in particular. Read the whole interview here.
Let me add that I could listen to David Boies talk about almost anything. He has a moment on "Colbert," and it comes at about 4:40 in the above link, where I just fall in love with him all over again. Not that there's anything wrong with that.

Respectfully, Justice Scalia, It's the Troposphere
I love this SCOTUS nugget from Ryan's Lizza's post, "Barack Obama, Left Conservative," on the Obama administration's new stance on the dangers of, and regulation of, carbon dioxide.
According to Lizza, it all began with a lawsuit from James R. Milkey, who sued the federal government on behalf of the state of Massachusetts, whose coastlines were eroding due to global warming. Initally people thought Milkey was daft for his lawsuit. Five years later, he was arguing before the U.S. Supreme Court, where this exchange took place:
"Your assertion," Justice Antonin Scalia, who was skeptical about the link between greenhouse-gas emissions and Massachusetts's disappearing coastline, said, "is that, after the pollutant leaves the air and goes up into the stratosphere, it is contributing to global warming."
"Respectfully, Your Honor, it is not the stratosphere," Milkey responded. "It's the troposphere."
"Troposphere, whatever. I told you before, I'm not a scientist. That's why I don't want to have to deal with global warming, to tell you the truth."
Milkey won, 5-4. Now we are where we are. Which is way behind but at least in the game.

Song for the U.S. Supreme Court
In the wake of last week's U.S. Supreme Court decision in McCutcheon v. Federal Election Commission, in which the 5-4 majority struck down a cap on total donations that can be made to individuals during federal elections, here's a song by Leonard Cohen. Lyrics first:
Everybody knows that the dice are loaded
Everybody rolls with their fingers crossed
Everybody knows the war is over
Everybody knows the good guys lost
Everybody knows the fight was fixed
The poor stay poor, the rich get rich
That's how it goes
Everybody knows
Then the song itself:
Thanks, Justices Alito, Kennedy, Roberts, Scalia and Thomas, for fixing the fight a little further. And for not knowing what everybody knows.

'Live from D.C., It's ... '
Supreme Court Anonymous.
In the middle of "Clarence Thomas' Disgraceful Silence," a New Yorker article celebrating eight years of nothing from one of our sitting justices, which includes a good primer on who speaks up when and how during oral arguments, author Jeffrey Toobin adds this throwaway thought:
The Court's arguments are not televised (though they should be), but they are public. They are, in fact, the public's only windows onto the Justices' thought processes ...
As soon as I read it, I thought, "Hey. Why don't they televise hearings? I mean, wouldn't that be cool?"
Cool for me anyway.
Think of it. It would make the whole process less mysterious. It would open things up. It would make the court's decisions accessible to more Americans. What's the argument against besides tradition? Besides the notion that the television screen reduces everything? That lawyers, not to mention justices, might play for the cameras rather than to history?
Guess what? There's an entire Wiki pages on the subject. I'm late to the party.
Here are the arguments against televising SCOTUS hearings, with comments from me:
- Requiring the proceedings ... to be televised is a threat to judicial independence and, thus, the separation of powers. I don't get this argument. How is it a threat? To either one?
- Justice Anthony Kennedy ... argues that the measure would not align with the "etiquette" and "deference" that should "apply between branches." Why? Are the justices indelicate during arguments? And aren't the other branches already on television? So wouldn't this ... balance things?
- Furthermore, some justices believe televising the proceedings would change the way they act in the courtroom. This is an understandable reaction. I wouldn't want to be televised at my job, for example. But I'm not making new law every day, either. It's not what you want; it's what the country needs.
- Justice Clarence Thomas also contends that televising Court proceedings would reduce the level of anonymity that justices now have and could raise security concerns. Is this is an argument against taking photos, too? Because we do that. And it's not like the Court will be a ratings bonanza. It'll be CSPAN for lawyers rather than ... say ... the Thomas confirmation hearing.
- Opponents also believe that television coverage would also take away from the mystery of the court and cause the public to misinterpret the Court and its processes. I get this argument least of all. Less mystery equals ... more misinterpretation? They don't think much of us, do they?
Thoughts? Anyone? Bueller?

Quote of the Day
Q: What's stronger: the competitive instinct or the advocacy instinct?
A: I think as you get older, the competitive maybe gets a little less and the advocacy gets a little more. When you're younger, you're going to take on the world. As you get a little older, you realize the world will win.
-- from my Q&A with real estate attorney Benjamin S. Stern, "Life, Death and the Green Bay Packers," in the 2013 issue of Wisconsin Super Lawyers magazine.

Revisional Surgery
Why is Revisional Surgery Needed?
Some weight-loss surgeries have associated complications that may require additional surgery.
The good news is that a new, non-invasive procedure called StomaphyX® is now available. The procedure is designed to give those patients who have regained weight after weight loss surgery a second chance. The StomaphyX can prevent hunger and help improve your chance for long-term weight loss success.
The procedure uses the StomaphyX device, which allows doctors to perform the procedure without any external or internal incisions. The benefits of this procedure include:
Reasons for revision of a LAP-BAND® may include:
