Great Finds | Sep 29, 2014 Geographic Bidding: The Next Level of Sophistication
In Sacramento, California, the conversion rate on the keyword "women's jeans" is 1.20%. But in Stinson Beach, CA – just 100 miles away – the conversion rate is a poorer 0.87%. Why the big difference? Thousands of factors contribute to variances in demand across different geographies, including warmer weather, higher store penetration, and greater brand recognition.

In spite of, or perhaps because of, Roman Catholic church teachings condemning homosexuality, many lay Catholics in the United States be more accepting toward same-sex relationships than the general public, a new survey found.
"The big finding here is that American Catholics are at least 5 points more supportive than the general population across a range of gay and lesbian issues," said Robert Jones, chief executive of the Public Religion Research Institute, which conducted telephone surveys of 3,000 Americans.
The survey's conclusions go against the popular conception that Roman Catholics – the largest U.S. religious denomination at some one in four Americans – are conservative on social issues, said Stephen Schneck of The Catholic University of America, who was asked to comment on the survey by the researchers.
"Catholics appear to like civil unions as an alternative to same-sex marriage," Schneck said, suggesting that while Catholics accept the rights of same-sex couples to be together there may be resistance to couples joined in what many see as a sacred rite.
Overall, the survey found 53 percent of Catholics supported the idea of same-sex marriage, while the general public is evenly divided on the issue. Fifty-six percent of Catholics did not believe sexual relations between two adults of the same gender constituted a sin, compared to 46 percent of the general population.

First of all, I want to make it clear that we are looking a good 6 & 1/2 days out, and this is VERY subject to change.
There is a disturbance 1,100 miles east of the Lesser Antilles that shows promise of becoming a tropical storm or a hurricane.
Right now the GFS model shows it making its way across the Caribbean, across Cuba and towards Florida by the end of next weekend or early next week.
We know from experience that the GFS will probably modify that track as time goes on. It could even end up farther west in the Gulf of Mexico. The intensity is unknown, but it will likely be a named storm. It's something that we will have to monitor over the next 5-7 days.
The upper air and surface patterns show a well defined "Bermuda Ridge" extending westward from the Atlantic, so it is less likely to "re-curve" out into the Atlantic.

Thirty years later, an Albuquerque man wanted in connection to a cold case murder is arrested.
U.S. Marshals arrested 50-year-old Patrick Ryon two weeks ago in New Mexico. He was extradited to Phoenix and is facing felony counts of first degree murder and sexual assault.
Investigators say that Ryon killed 19-year-old Alison Mims in 1980. He was spotted leaving a wedding reception with her.
Her body wasn't found until 7 years later, and wasn't identified until last year.

Foundations of Dominant Strategy Mechanisms
AbstractWilson (1987) criticizes the existing literature of game theory as relying too much on common-knowledge assumptions. In reaction to Wilson's critique, the recent literature of mechanism design has started to employ stronger solution concepts such as dominant strategy incentive compatibility, and restrict attention to simpler mechanisms such as dominant strategy mechanisms. However, there has been little theory behind this approach. In particular, it has not been made clear why employing simpler mechanisms, instead of more complicated ones, is the correct way to address Wilson's critique. This paper aims at filling this void. We propose a potential theory, known as the {\it maxmin} theory, which postulates that a {\it cautious} mechanism designer, facing uncertainty over which (common-knowledge) assumptions are valid and which are not, would indeed rationally choose simpler mechanisms such as dominant strategy mechanisms. In this paper, we summarize our progress in proving this theory, explore other possible theories, and discuss related theoretical questions that will be of interest in other areas

South Dakota Ordered to Comply with Voting Rights Act
Eighth Circuit Court of Appeals Ruling Protects Rights of Native American Voters, Says ACLU
August 22, 2006
Contact: Erica Pelletreau, ACLU National, (212) 519-7829, 549-2666; firstname.lastname@example.com; ACLU Voting Rights Project, (404) 523-2721
ST. LOUIS, MO -- The American Civil Liberties Union today welcomed a final federal appeals court decision affirming the redrawing of legislative district lines in South Dakota to ensure there is no discrimination against Native American voters. The decision came in Bone Shirt v. Hazeltine, a case originally brought by the ACLU on behalf of four Native American voters in December 2001, after the South Dakota legislature redrew the boundaries of the state's 35 legislative districts.
"This is a victory for all South Dakotans because it reaffirms the importance of fairness at the ballot box, which benefits everyone, Indians and non-Indians alike," said Bryan Sells a staff attorney with the ACLU Voting Rights Project and lead counsel in the case.
A year ago, on August 19, 2005, U.S. District Judge Karen E. Schreier ordered South Dakota officials to implement a redistricting plan that was fair to Native American voters, but the state refused and appealed the decision. Schreier's ruling was upheld today in a unanimous 3-0 ruling by the Eighth Circuit in St. Louis.
"All voters want the integrity of their community preserved, not fractured, by redistricting. This decision will ensure that legislative districts in South Dakota keep communities together and will give Indian voters the opportunity to elect representatives of their choice. When citizens have confidence that their vote counts and that their voices will be heard, then democracy works better for everyone," said Sells.
The Eighth Circuit ruling in the Bone Shirt case is the second decision issued by the federal appeals court this year upholding the rights of Native American voters. In an earlier case, Cottier v. City of Martin, the court ruled in favor of Native Americans who claimed that the City of Martin had violated the Voting Rights Act and the Fourteenth and Fifteenth Amendments by drawing city council districts that dilute Indian voting strength.
"This decision will give our Lakota people an opportunity to elect our candidate of choice to the state legislature," said Alfred Bone Shirt, a named plaintiff in the case. "Discrimination against Indians has been part of South Dakota politics for so long that it is only through cases like this that we have been able see any positive change."
South Dakota is one of 16 states covered in whole or in part by Section 5 of the Voting Rights Act, which requires specific jurisdictions to get federal approval before making changes to their election laws and procedures.
In 2002, a three-judge court held that the state had failed to submit its 2001 redistricting plan to federal officials for pre-approval. The state then submitted the plan to the U.S. Department of Justice, which cleared it for implementation, but the ACLU said it was discriminatory nonetheless because it created a 90 percent supermajority of Indian voters by "packing" them into one district. Judge Schreier later agreed with this claim and in a lengthy 144-page opinion issued September 15, 2004, she gave the state an opportunity to fashion a new plan that did not discriminate against Indian voters. After the state refused to do so, the judge issued her August 19, 2005 remedial order that new lines be drawn to comply with the Voting Rights Act. It is this decision that was affirmed today.
"This decision clearly shows that Congress did the right thing last month when it voted to reauthorize the temporary provisions of the Voting Rights Act," said Sells.
Patrick Duffy of the Rapid City, South Dakota, law firm of Duffy and Duffy also served as counsel on the case.

Federal Court Rules South Dakota Violated Voting Rights of Native Americans
September 15, 2004
PIERRE, SD—In an historic victory for voting rights, a federal court today ruled that South Dakota violated the 1965 federal Voting Rights Act when it approved a statewide redistricting plan that dilutes the voting power of Native Americans.
FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE - ACLU Secures Major Victory in Landmark Redistricting Case
PIERRE, SD—In an historic victory for voting rights, a federal court today ruled that South Dakota violated the 1965 federal Voting Rights Act when it approved a statewide redistricting plan that dilutes the voting power of Native Americans.
"This is a landmark victory for the voting rights of Native Americans," said Bryan Sells, a staff attorney with the American Civil Liberties Union's Voting Rights Project,which had challenged the plan. "Redistricting has historically been used to disenfranchise minority voters. Today's decision will help rectify this longstanding problem."
The ACLU filed the case on behalf of four Native American voters in December 2001 after the state legislature drew a new legislative district map that packed Native Americans into a single district. As a result, District 27, which encompasses the Pine Ridge and Rosebud Indian reservations, has an almost 90 percent "supermajority" of Native Americans. The ACLU argued that packing the two reservations into one district disenfranchises Indian voters under Section 2 of the Voting Rights Act, which prohibits abridging the right to vote on account of race or ethnicity.
"If the state had drawn districts more fairly, Native Americans would have been a majority in two districts instead of a 90 percent supermajority in only one," Sells said. "The people on those reservations deserve to have at least one more person fighting for them in the legislature."
The ruling in favor of Native American voters in South Dakota comes at a time when the country is closely monitoring the state's current high-profile race between Senate Minority Leader Tom Daschle and his Republican challenger, John Thune. According to political observers, Native American voters have been aggressively courted by both political parties and, in part as a result of successful court battles led by the ACLU, they are increasingly regarded as a growing and important electoral constituency.
In today's ruling, U.S. District Judge Karen Schreier wrote that the "current legislative plan impermissibly dilutes the Indian vote" and denies Indians in Districts 26 and 27 "an equal opportunity to access the political process." The court gave the state legislature 45 days to submit proposals to rectify the disenfranchisement of Native American voters in South Dakota.
The ACLU said that although today's decision may not directly impact the November election, it could help strengthen voter confidence among South Dakota's Indian population and drive increased turnout at the polls.
In an earlier decision in May 2002, Judge Schreier ruled in favor of the ACLU and its Native American plaintiffs when she found that the South Dakota Legislature violated Section 5 of the Voting Rights Act, which requires jurisdictions to get federal approval before making changes to any election laws or procedures to ensure that states do not disenfranchise voting populations that have experienced a history of discrimination.
"The Voting Rights Act was created to ensure that state governments do not discriminate against traditionally marginalized and oppressed populations," said Jennifer Ring, Executive Director of the ACLU of the Dakotas. "Unfortunately, South Dakota has repeatedly flouted this important law at the expense of its Native American citizens. We applaud today's decision and we will continue to monitor any election laws that may impact this population."
Alfred Bone Shirt, a Sicangu Lakota activist and lead plaintiff in the case, also applauded Judge Schreier's decision. "This is a milestone in correcting a system that has alienated my people from the political process for decades. We have the right to have a say in the direction of our future."
Bone Shirt v. Nelson is one of six lawsuits brought against state and local officials inSouth Dakotain federal court by the Atlanta-based ACLU Voting Rights Project since 1999. To date, five of these cases have been resolved in favor of the ACLU and its Native American plaintiffs and one remains pending.That suit challenges a redistricting plan which the ACLU argues dilutes Native American voting strength in the city of Martin, South Dakota (Cottier v.City of Martin,SD).
Rapid City attorney Patrick Duffy served as co-counsel with the ACLU.

Crazy Pentax K30 dSLR offer at Costco refuels Pentax P&S discontinuation speculation
Pentax Gone Wild at Costco! The membership chain is offering the standard Pentax K30 with 18-55mm kits (black, blue, or white) with these freebies: Pentax WG-1 waterproof camera, Pentax Sling bag and 8GB card for $900 with free shipping which is the standard price of the K30 w/18-55 kit. The WG-1 waterproof camera goes for $180 to $200+ on its own, depending on the reliability of the online seller offering them. This promotion ends 8/19/12. (found indirectly via the Fat Wallet forums Costco flyer post)
If you are not a Costco member, you can still purchase it but pay a 5% non-member surchage. 5% of $900 is $45, which is close to a 1-year Costco membership ($55) - for those of you who live near a Costco.
This is not the first time we saw a free P&S with purchase promotion with Pentax, Adorama was previously offering free sub-$70~ entry-level P&S cameras with select Pentax iLC purchases. The WG-1 is not a basic P&S digital camera, it is still selling for around $200~, which is 20+% of the price of the K30 - a significant percentage of the price of a just-released DSLR.
So this is perhaps once again fueling the speculation that Pentax is indeed planning to exit the fixed-lens P&S digital camera market. You don't have to be a student of Machiavelli to speculate that their PR types are doing damage control while they unload as many as they can before they make it official :)

A new book by noted education researcher Samuel Casey Carter studied 3,500 schools nationwide and profiled the 12 Best in the Nation.
Two of the schools are right here in our backyard; both Providence St. Mel and Hinsdale Central were lauded as great examples of schools that emphasized character development and strong academic achievement together for outstanding results.
Hinsdale Central has received many academic achievement awards and is one of the nation's top schools.
Providence St. Mel has its own very compelling story to tell - it was the subject of its own documentary film, "The Providence Effect," which was released last year.
President Reagan raved about the school on a visit in the 1980's and Oprah has given the school a million dollar grant to provide some scholarship aid for many of its African-American students.
What is it about this former Catholic school turned Christian independent school that has gotten everyone's attention? It could be the fact that 100 percent of the school's graduating seniors have been accepted to four-year colleges including top-tier colleges and Ivy League institutions for the past seven years.
How do they do it?
President Paul J. Adams and his staff have focused on developing a strong academic standard while enforcing strict disciplinary codes and insuring their students safety. Mr. Adams also credits more teaching time with the students -- 10 to 12 hour days, six days a week (which can be accomplished in a non-union teacher environment) and lots of positive energy in the school.
We celebrate success, we celebrate learning," said Mr. Adams.
The bottom line is that the teachers and staff at Providence St. Mel create an environment for success. They send out a strong message to those attending their school: if you work hard and follow the rules you have a great chance at success both in school and into the future.
Can't we learn from these basic fundamentals?
We are very proud of Hinsdale Central and Providence St. Mel. Let's take their fundamentals for success and apply them across our school districts statewide.
Illinois deserves better.

A Houston man is jailed, accused of attacking two elderly females in a Cleveland housing complex, and police are crediting an alert neighbor for his capture. NEWS 92 FM's Martha Martinez reports:
Investigators say the first attack occurred about 9 p.m. on the night of December 20th, when a 69-year-old woman was raped by a heavyset black male.
Shortly before 1 a.m. on Christmas morning, an 81-year-old woman was attacked by a man in her bedroom. She managed to fight back, scream and break some glass, which got a neighbor's attention.
That neighbor spotted the suspect running out the back door, grabbed his weapon and fired a shot into the air.
When officers arrived, the neighbor told them where the suspect had run. When he was arrested, 42-year-old Demetrius Donielle Jackson was bleeding from a fresh cut on his hand and was in possession of a crack pipe.
He was charged with possession of a controlled substance and burglary with intent to commit another felony and is being held in the Liberty County Jail on a half million dollars bond.
Once DNA and other forensic tests are completed, he could face more charges.

Letters to the Editor
The article regarding the outcome of the airport study in the September 7 issue of The Northern Light was misleading.
The writer (who left his name off the article) makes it appear as if expansion of the airport is almost free. He states that the city's contribution has already been paid when actually the rich pro-pilot politicians "paid" with borrowed money from hard working taxpayers with no repayment in sight. There is much more unmentioned expense to come.
The article goes on to say that residents approved an advisory ballot asking if the city of Blaine should explore the feasibility of abandoning the airport as a municipal function. Actually a petition was signed by enough citizens to put abolishing the airport on the ballot, but was changed by Blaine city council's pro-pilot politicians to its current wording. Not even close to what the people asked for. "We the People," and the U.S. constitution apparently doesn't apply under our current government. It seems much of Blaine City Council is there for the purpose of manipulating the outcome of the airport issue. Blaine citizens deserve so much better. The Northern Light article failed to mention the $92.2 million in new annual sales that will be generated when we replace the airport with commercial development as opposed to no such windfall with airport expansion. The Northern Light article never mentioned consultant Paul Sorensen's comment that, "This is the best industrial property you have. It has the best access and visibility." Maybe the author has his own personal interest in the airport. My information came from the September 6 issue of the Bellingham Herald. City manager Gary Tomsic is quoted in the Herald as saying, "This is a piece of information that will go on to the council and the public."
Maybe Mr. Tomsic missed The Northern Light deadline or maybe the author feels this important information need not be passed on to the public.
To those of us who live here for the beauty and tranquility, if you think our "little fishing village," has airplane noise now, just wait until we get a big city jetway expansion. I recall early on when Blaine's airport manager made the comment, "The airport's not going anywhere." Now I realize perhaps he would know, after all, it's not really up to the taxpayers, is it?
The pro-pilot politicians just need our money, not our opinions. And they certainly aren't willing to give up their airport just for the well being and prosperity of the town.
Bottom line, the study favors development over an airport by far. Our voted-in-by-each-other leaders can argue pro-airport all day long, but at least we can rely on the numbers. They don't lie.
P.S. To the person who wanted to know where Dennis Hill lives, two major airport players cast their votes in Blaine for 10 years while residing in Bellingham before finally being discovered last year. Do you think they care where anyone lives? And paying off airport investors? Don't let them fool you. Their land will be worth plenty of money with plenty of opportunity. They already rent out hangars for industrial purposes having nothing to do with aviation.
Caryn Johnson
(Editor's note: The writer of the story was Tara Nelson, who has no vested interest in the airport.)
The Editor:
I think most of us in town like the small airport. It's the idea of expanding and the fact that it will destroy the last remaining large wetland in Blaine, close off Pipeline Road and add noise and congestion in that area that disturbs most of us. Skallman Park would be history, over 50 percent of the industrial zoning we now have would be tied up in the expansion. Of course if the airport is closed, then we get a strip mall and a bunch of tin buildings housing $8 an hour "industrial" jobs. It seems that the two choices we are getting are really dour. Outsiders are being paid big bucks to advise us on what's best for our town. What they give us could be applied anywhere in the U.S. Considering our location, I think we can do better.
Tourism, recreation and education to me seems a much better fit for the town. Rather than destroying the wetlands let's make it into a wetlands bank and use it as part of an environmental/educational tour from the docks to the fish hatchery on Pipeline Road. Rather than closing the airport, upgrade to a top notch A1 small plane airport. Have skydiving and events like we used to. The parachutists could land at the ball fields as an example. This would bring in added revenue for the school district. Build a mountain bike course at Lincoln Park. Connect the various venues by a bike/pedestrian path that would go from the docks to the fish hatchery with arterials branching off to the neighborhoods and schools etc. We have the water already being used for regattas. We could add wind surfing, wake boarding. Our skateboard park is well known to skateboarders throughout the northwest. The music and art festivals are bringing in talent worldwide. Build a convention center and hotel. If we developed tourism, recreation and educational opportunities in Blaine the jobs and investment would follow as a result.
For me, the only people I see benefiting by an expanded airport are the ones investing the $2.9 million in private funds. If it is such a good deal, the city of Blaine should invest in it, not private parties. If the airport closes, it will be those developing where the airport once was benefiting. The rest of us will lose one way or another. If we choose to think outside the box, we could end up with a vibrant, healthy, job-filled community. Hopefully the choice will be ours to vote on.
The water could provide opportunities such as sailing, windsurfing, events, etc.
Make a bike/pedestrian trail through the town from the docks to the fish hatchery at the top of Pipeline. It would provide for a healthy and safe way to get to the various locations throughout Blaine.

The Editor:
While I appreciate that the articles regarding the Blaine municipal airport in the September 7 – 13 issue were fairly reported, I believe there was a significant error.
In the "meetings" article as continued on page 3, you referred to the meeting scheduled for 7 p.m. on September 18 at the community center as a "public hearing." In fact it is only a public meeting where the city council will receive the completed alternative uses study from the study committee and consultants. I believe this will be in the same format the council received the Airport Master Plan from its steering committee and consultants a few weeks ago.
Also appreciated is that your other airport article in that issue, "Committee releases alternative study" on page 9, points out that the study committee, "acknowledged they had not calculated in some factors such as an underestimated demand for hangar space, the fact that the city's contribution to the proposed airport expansion has already been paid through land acquisition costs," "and that hangar leases generate leaseholder tax revenue."
Nor were the costs of the roads and other infrastructure accounted for in the alternative uses study, (as they have been in the airport master plan). Referencing demand, I would point out that the aircraft based at Blaine municipal already exceeds the master plan predictions for 2010, and would exceed those predicted for 2015 if we had the hangars now.
I would further point out that the 332 jobs that "could" be created on the airport property by 2025 will most likely be created anyway around the expanded airport, as is happening right now, and with that we'll also have the 119 jobs to be created by the airport improvement itself. In short, we can keep the Blaine municipal airport and have it all.
Don Nelson
The Editor:
I am appalled at the front page headline of last week's issue of The Northern Light and the lack of un-biased information being released by our city newspaper regarding the study of alternative uses for the airport land. If you are a Blaine citizen who doesn't regularly read The Bellingham Herald, you would believe that there is no alternative other than keeping and expanding the airport. The Northern Light has failed tremendously in reporting all of the information regarding the study. There are two articles in the Bellingham Herald dated September 6 and September 12 both with overwhelming numbers in favor of abolishing the airport and moving Blaine forward to bigger and better things. An actual economy that could put Blaine where it should be growing like Lynden and Ferndale! The "cost" to the city ($1 – 4 million), is a very small price when the annual payroll to abolish would be $10.4 million through 2025. Not to mention the jobs created to redevelop the land! The leases that the city holds with private citizens do not need to be terminated.
Those two leaseholders, who obviously threaten to sue the city, should think of the economic windfall they would receive if they maintain their leases in a developed area.
Gary Tomsic and our city council have a "tough" decision to make whether or not to let our taxpayers vote on this issue – let me guess, they will decide for you in a private executive session.
I urge The Northern Light to report on the whole good of the entire city, not just on the benefit of a few. I do believe you have an ethical responsibility to your readers!
Rachel Hrutfiord
The Editor:
I have only lived in Blaine for a couple of years and I always look forward to reading The Northern Light and its coverage of the Blaine airport. I would like to congratulate the city on their decision to hire a professional consultant to give their findings on the controversial airport property.
I have heard enough about city council members who are not acting in good faith, chocolate factory owners that have landed in Blaine and lifelong Blaine residents who live in the school district but can't vote in the city because they live outside the city limits. Hopefully the citizens of Blaine and the city council can step away from the name calling and back stabbing between airport foes and focus on the $45,000 professional consultant's report that will be presented September 18 at the Blaine senior center.
I understand that this issue has been voted on four different times and again I appreciate the city hiring someone to help our council make an informative and educated decision with regards to the future of the Blaine airport.
Michael Farrell
The Editor:
As a career-long real estate developer and now a citizen of Blaine, I have difficulty understanding why the city council is considering closing our airport and selling the land off to a private real-estate developer. Professionally, I've consulted with many communities over the years. Their city leaders have asked me for my suggestions to improve their municipalities' prospects for economic growth. If the Blaine city fathers put that question to me, my first suggestion would be to improve and expand the airport, a key part of any modern city's infrastructure. Why? Because Blaine already owns an airport! If a community of Blaine's size wanted to start from scratch and build a new general-aviation airport in the 21st century, it would face a Herculean task – contentious legal proceedings to condemn land, rezoning for airport use, developing roads and utilities to the airport site, dealing with environmental regulations and concerns and, last but not least, raising the money to built the airport itself. Having an existing facility, the city of Blaine does not face any of these problems. The master plan for improving and expanding the Blaine airport has already been approved by the Federal Aviation Administration.
All the city council has to do is approve the master plan, and it can be implemented entirely with federal-state-private funds, at no cost to the city or the taxpayers.
I appreciate the fact that the city council has received considerable pressure from a few outside developers and feels compelled to give the issue a thorough hearing.
But I hope the council will not allow the vocal volume of a few outsiders to outweigh the logic of keeping our airport open for the good of the city and those of us who live here.

Thanks for Karl King for taking my picture by the Peace Arch at its 85th anniversary event. However, I was not the oldest in attendance. Maybe the oldest male.
I wish Norma Kruse, of the Wolten family had been pictured instead, or at least included. I understand she has an important birthday coming up soon.
Many of her dear friends and relatives would love to see a picture of her then.

Happy Friday!
Our unseasonably warm temperatures continue across the region with a few passing morning showers.
This morning look for light patchy drizzle, mostly isolated to the Idaho Panhandle. Partly cloudy skies with temperatures out the door mild, in the mid 40s.
By lunchtime--look for a few clouds, but a pretty good clearing, with more sunshine expected as the day goes on. Look for highs to climb to the upper 60s, low 70s.
This Bloomsday weekend look for unseasonably warm and occasionally gusty winds Saturday & Sunday with highs in the low to mid 70s.

We unite for a common passion for motorcycles and become fraternal brothers based on a common passion for the club. The dedication and loyalty to the club and each other creates a strong bond among the club members. That bond is a true brotherhood.
From our sunny beaches to the canyons up in the mountains and all the freeways in between, Sinland loves to ride the streets of L.A. We love to have a variety of rides from long ones to short ones, fund raisers and bikenights.
Sinland is a family oriented motorcycle club. This is a club rooted in family values and no one is frowned upon for attending to family before bike events. We understand that work and family is just as important as the club. We always welcome family members to attend our events.

Love this. A few notable points…
- This was posted on the "corporate blog" of a software company. 5 minutes could be well spent pondering as to why we should see this kind of thing happen more often.
- It could also be called "Everyone Should Make Some Music" or "Everyone Should Write a Story" or "Everyone Should Make a Dance". Different mediums, but will likely have the same generally positive effect.
- In each of these cases the same will likely be true… Your painting/music/story/dance will suck. The good part, of course, is THAT'S NOT THE POINT!
- My favorite line: "The only way you can go wrong is by being too self-important with the whole thing."

Everywhere Beth Linker turned, a criminal past haunted her.
It came up when she sought a better job and when she tried to volunteer, despite the fact that Linker served a brief prison sentence, completed parole early, and has remained drug- and crime-free for more than 10 years.
Linker tried to get that past swept clean through Utah's expungement process only to be told she was not eligible given the number of her felony convictions for drug-related crimes and an initial failure to complete her first probation.
That's when Linker turned to the Utah Board of Pardons and Parole, which pardoned her crimes in March. But even with that decision in hand, Linker has been unable to clear her record, stymied by a redundant, complicated and expensive process — one Utah lawmakers will look at refining in the 2013 legislative session.
Last session, lawmakers created a committee within the Utah Substance Abuse Advisory Council to study issues related to expungement of drug-related offenses. That group came up with recommendations embodied in HB33, sponsored by Rep. Eric K. Hutchings, R-Kearns.
It would allow a specified number of drug-possession felony and misdemeanor offenses to be eligible for expungement and also clarify that a pardon granted by the Utah Board of Pardons and Parole — which granted 17 pardons in 2012 — has the same legal effect and authority as a court ordered expungement.
"It is certainly a good first step in a direction towards giving opportunity where opportunity is deserved and not having to be so rigid … about who gets a break and who doesn't," said Scott Reid, an assistant attorney general who was co-chairman of the Drug-Related Offenses Expungement Committee.
"This doesn't reduce anybody's sentence," said Santiago Cortez, a past chairman of the Utah Support Advocates for Recovery Awareness and committee co-chairman. "This is for people who do the right thing. … In many cases, we've made thousands of dollars of investments to make these people productive citizens and then when they get to the workforce they have barriers."
A costly, complicated process • The Utah Bureau of Criminal Identification receives 700 to 800 applications each month from people seeking to expunge their criminal records. Given that volume, it takes the bureau 10 to 12 weeks to let applicants know if they are even eligible to proceed.
Some crimes can't be expunged, such as capital murder, first-degree and violent felonies, and registerable sex offenses. Utah law also limits by type and number the convictions a person may have to be eligible for expungement and requires any sentence, probation, fine or restitution to have been met. In addition, the law requires a clean record following the last conviction and waiting periods of varying length, depending on the crime, before a person can seek an expungement: 10 years for any alcohol or drug-related offenses, seven years for eligible felonies, and three to five years depending on the classification of a misdemeanor offense.
The proposed bill would create a five-year waiting period for a felony drug offense.
Fees begin to pile up right from the start: There is a $50 application fee and then a charge of $56 per conviction for a certificate saying the crime is eligible to be expunged. A five-page checklist lays out the process applicants must follow; victims, prosecutors, Adult Probation and Parole and judges may all weigh in on whether or not to grant an expungement.
"It's very expensive and it's very difficult," Cortez said.
If a person is denied an expungement, he or she can seek forgiveness from the Board of Pardons.
"It's the last opportunity that is available for somebody who is trying to get their record cleansed," said Jesse Gallegos, a board member who served on the Drug-Related Offenses Expungement Committee. In many cases, "They have remarkably turned their lives around and gone on to receive college degrees and are prohibited from employment in their requisite field because of their criminal records."
The bill would recognize the board's authority to forgive a criminal past, ending what is now a duplicative expungement process and reducing expenses for those who get a pardon.
"We are not changing anything about the process and not changing anything about the crimes we are willing to look at," Gallegos said of the bill.
Pardon not enough • Although Linker, 48, received a full and unconditional pardon, she was nonetheless required to apply to the Bureau of Criminal Investigations and go through the entire expungement process, paying fees and charges at each step.
Linker said there is little uniformity between courts, and the number of forms to complete is overwhelming. Linker said she filled out one set of forms available online at the state-court website, only to be told by both a district court and a justice-court clerk that they had their own preferred forms that she would need to fill out.
Linker hit a financial wall at the courthouse, where she learned she would be charged $179 for each expungement. Linker, who works as a medical biller, applied for a fee waiver, but a judge turned her down.
"At that point I hung my head in defeat," said Linker, who estimates her expenses from start to finish topped $1,500.
She still has not been able to complete the process because she can't afford the court fees.
Aaron Bryant's effort to clear his record was even more costly. Bryant, 30, racked up five criminal cases with multiple charges in each case, most associated with his substance abuse. After spending nearly eight months in jail in 2005, he turned his life around.
Bryant got a job and enrolled in college. He finished an associate's degree, a bachelor's degree in social work and is now working on a master's degree in social work at the University of Utah, which he will complete in August. He also is working on a master's degree in public policy at the U.
Bryant, who wrote a memoir about his life called A Synchronous Memoir of Addiction and Recovery, works full time for the Assessment and Referral Services in the U.'s Department of Psychiatry.
But like Linker, Bryant has found his criminal background hinders his ability to get certain jobs. He turned to the parole board after learning he could not get his record expunged.
"It was my understanding it was kind of a long shot, but I still submitted the application and they agreed to hear my case," he said.
The board granted Bryant a pardon in January. It took him another eight months — and $3,500 — to finish the expungement process.
"It ends up being you are granted a pardon, but then it really doesn't boil down to that," Bryant said. "It is quite a bit more complicated than that. A lot of people weren't even aware that when they gave a pardon there was still so much that had to happen. They kind of assumed that if you were pardoned, you wouldn't have to have judges and prosecutors sign off on them."

Nature's Way Resveratrol Synergistic Formula 37.5mg Resveratrol - 60 Vegetarian Capsules
Nature's Way Resveratrol Synergistic formula is a comprehensive blend of antioxidants. Resveratrol is found in red wine and protects cells against lipid peroxidation and free radicals. Japanese knotweed is a potent source of Resveratrol and has traditionally been used for the heart, liver and blood vessels. Resveratrol has been shown to have beneficial anti-cancer and anti-aging effects when taken as a supplement. Studies have also shown that resveratrol led to significant boosts in the athletic performance and endurance of athletes.
About Resveratrol:Where is it found?Resveratrol is present in a wide variety of plants—of the edible plants, mainly in grapes and peanuts.1 Wine is the primary dietary source of resveratrol. Red wine contains much greater amounts of resveratrol than does white wine, since resveratrol is concentrated in the grape skin and the manufacturing process of red wine includes prolonged contact with grape skins. Resveratrol is also available as a dietary supplement.
About Nature's Way:America's leader in herbal medicine.If you've heard of Nature's Way, or better yet, used their products, it's not surprising. They have been America's leader in herbal medicine for over 40 years. As the pre-eminent provider of health and healing through the power of nature, their commitment to quality reflects their commitment to you. In fact, it's woven into the very story of their founding.
A family crisis and an herbal renaissance.Nature's Way originated from a circumstance everyone can understand—a family's desperate need to overcome a personal health crisis. Back in the late 1960s, Tom Murdock, the founder of what is now Nature's Way, needed a solution to help his gravely ill wife. After trying conventional medicine without success, Tom and his wife turned to the traditional Native American knowledge of "medicinal plants" growing in the Arizona desert. As a result, she recovered and lived an additional 25 years.
Tom Murdock's pioneering spirit did more than save a life—it led to the renaissance of herbal medicine in America. As word spread about his wife's recovery, Tom set out to find other healthy treasures growing in the Arizona desert. By 1969, Tom and his family had eight new herbal remedies to share with others and thus began the legacy of Nature's Way.
While it may seem hard to believe now, for many years herbal knowledge was a lost art in a country fueled by conventional, and often invasive, medical approaches. The founding of Nature's Way reopened a door that had long been closed. Motivated by a passion to spread the power of natural healing, Tom and his family moved back home to the beautiful mountain valleys of Utah and almost single-handedly spurred the growth of what could be called the "Silicon Valley of Herbal Supplements."
An industry pioneer in many ways.When you've been pioneering natural health for over 40 years, you develop an impressive list of "firsts" among major dietary supplement companies. Many of these innovations initiated by Nature's Way have shaped how America thinks about natural medicine. Here are just a few:
It's more than a business. Nature's Way believes in giving back. Nature's Way is grateful for their business success and they express it through a tradition of giving back. A few examples include:
Nature's Way Today. Today, their manufacturing capacities have expanded and they're able to bring even more good things to you. That's because being affiliated with Schwabe North America and its family of brands, including Boericke & Tafel, Enzymatic Therapy, Integrative Therapeutics, Inc., allows them to expand their reach and enhance the health of more people through the power of nature.
As one of the most technologically advanced supplement manufacturers in the United States, they continue to push the boundaries forward on quality research, testing and introducing new ingredients. We offer over 500 premium nutritional and natural products, including single herbs and herbal extracts, homeopathic remedies, vitamins, minerals and specialty products.
While herbal supplements are still the backbone of their product line, new and innovative products including Alive Whole Food Energizer, Primadophilus probiotics, Ginkgold clinically proven ginkgo extract, EfaGold essential fatty acids, Hydraplenish hyaluronic acid and Thisilyn liver support formulas, just to name a few, are exciting additions to their offering.
After all, innovation, seeking the best in nature, and bringing "the world's best" to the marketplace is their goal. Like their founder Tom Murdock, they're still pioneering. There are many discoveries yet to be made in this amazing world. They may happen in a rainforest, a savannah, or like they did over 40 years ago, in a desert. When they are discovered, they'll bring them to you.
That's why you can Trust the Leaf. Nature's Way's company logo—the green leaf seen on their product packaging and on this web site—features a motto: "Trust the Leaf." They mean it. They take it seriously. They strive to produce the very best and have worked hard to build trusting relationships with their retailers and with you. They know that millions of people rely on Nature's Way products to enhance their health. They consider it a legacy of their history and a pledge to the future. That's why you can turn to them again and again and "Trust the Leaf."
Other Ingredients: Cellulose, Plant-derived capsule, Magnesium Stearate.

In medieval times the prosperous port of Cley was centred near the magnificent church of St. Margaret of Antioch. The town was one of the principal ports of East Anglia, exporting large quantities of wool and grain. The River Glaven was navigable to large ships as far as Glandford and ran into the sea half a mile north west of Cley.
In the early 17th century the river began to silt up, largely as a result of reclamation done by Sir Henry Calthorpe, and new wharves were built near deep water by the present quay. Cley Windmill dates from the 1700s although the tower was not completed until some time later. The Customs House and other prominent buildings were also built at this time after much of the old town was destroyed by fire.
The Windmill was first offered for sale in the Norfolk Chronicle on 26th June 1819 and passed through several hands during the next one hundred years. The best known of the millers was Steven Barnabas Burroughs, whose family worked and owned the Windmill from 1840 to 1919, after which it fell into disrepair. In 1921 it was bought by Sarah Maria Wilson and converted into a holiday home. The conversion involved removing most of the working parts and fixing the cap and sails. The old stones, used for grinding the flour, were set into the ground nearby and the warehouses were converted into stables and boat sheds.
In 1934 the windmill passed to Sarah's grandson, Hubert Blount, who made many improvements, including replacing the sails in 1960. During the war years the windmill was used by his aunt, Sister Rachel, who, with another nun, Sister Catherine, became legends in the local area. The Duchess of Bedford, who was lost at sea flying her own aircraft, was one of the frequent visitors during this period.
In 1953 the sea again came to Cley which suffered its worst flooding for 400 years. The windmill stood firm but much of the furniture was damaged or washed away. A sea wall was built around the remainder of the village. In 1979 the windmill passed to Charles and Jane Blount (parents of James, who is known to many as the singer and songwriter James Blunt). In 1983 the windmill was renovated and converted into a guesthouse. The sails, fanstage and galleries were replaced in 1988.
Colonel Blount and his wife continued to run the windmill until 2005 when it was taken over by their nephew John Woodhouse and his wife Val. They sold the property in 2006 to Dr. Julian Godlee, his wife Carolyn and their four children.

Are the changes in India, such as the influence of western culture, technology, and loss of tradition, altering the country for the better?
I recently read a book in a class that talked about how the old traditions of India were quickly fading away in favor of money and being more corporate. I read that in most places, especially big cities, India is rapidly changing from its past ways and that this has its ups and downs. So I was wondering, do the good aspects out way the bad?
Showing single comment thread. View the full conversation.
Jan 10 2013: Becky, I live in a rural setting and when I must I go to the city. You speak of India but is it really different than anywhere else. In the US we express that NYC is the big apple and unfriendly and unfeeling. We speak of Vegas as sin city, Dallas as where the East ends and Ft Worth as where the West begins. Each city has a slogan, nick name, and a personality
Should we judge the population of New York based on the cab driver .... or India by the stockbroker in new Deli. In my travels around the world I have always got off of the tourest route and met the "people". Some are good some are bad. That is true everywhere.
India is in growing pains. It is establishing its world identy and entering global economics and world trade. In a few years it will establish an idenity. Cultural changes take generations and are not national. Some areas will remain traditional forever and others will become more ... as you say ... western.
The thing I would be careful of is to not identify any location with the movie and media accounts.
All the best. Bob.
Jan 10 2013: Now that I look back on the question, I realize that I could have phrased it a little bit better. I know that I cannot base all my thoughts on India in what I learned in one class. The only way to really understand a country is to go there and immerse yourself in the real culture. The question came from a book called India Calling where the author gave stories of people who lived in India. Something that he and his characters were experiencing was a huge culture shift. I know it can be argued either way and depending on who you ask the question will vary. I was just wondering if people felt strongly about it one way or another. I do not think it is a useless question. I only hope that one day I can travel there and experience for myself.

Presumptive GOP Presidential nominee Mitt Romney's fundraising juggernaut rolled on in June, setting a Republican fundraising record.
The Romney Victory Fund and the Republican National Committee pulled in more than $100 million for the month. Campaign officials say fundraising has "exceeded all expectations" in New York, Colorado, Michigan, New Jersey and Ohio.
With anger growing in GOP circles over the recent Supreme Court decision on Obama care, the fundraising — which continues to outperform Obama — is expected to increase.
"There is no doubt that Romney is dramatically outpacing both Obama and expectations," GOP strategist Steve Simmons told Capitol Hill Blue. "He's doing better in the polls and he's beating Obama in fundraising."
Republican strategists feel the Supreme Court decision will break for Romney and energize a base that has — to date — been lukewarm to the nominee.

One Response to "Romney sets fundraising record in June, continues to outpace Obama"
Please say it isn't so that Romney is beating Obama in this election? My God, another Bush in the white house? I can hear this new information all around me here in California. This is a Liberal state where minorities are treated with dignity. Could it be that homophobia, racism and a hatred for our southern neighbors have won the battle?
I just got back here, where can I go now?
