Death Valley National Park's "sailing stones" have mystified scientists for decades.
The 50th anniversary of the passage of the Wilderness Act by President Lyndon Johnson was a cause for celebration across the country. Here is a look at how members of Congress saluted the momentous occasion.
With the stroke of the pen, President Johnson created the National Wilderness Preservation System, which then comprised a little over 9 million acres of irreplaceable Forest Service land.
Secretary Jewell spoke at the event, joining The Wilderness Society President Jamie Williams, U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service Director Dan Ashe and Reps. Rodney Frelinghuysen (R-NJ) and Leonard Lance (R-NJ), among other guests.
You can watch a video of the ceremony here:
Thanks to the passage of the Wilderness Act in 1964, the U.S.
Though everyone had a great time, this was no ordinary afternoon at AT&T Park.
In a wide-ranging discussion with Pedro Echevarria, Washington Journal's producer and host, Huntley discussed why the half-century old law that created a way for Americans to protect their most pristine wildlands for future generations is more important than ever.
Sometimes called the "Grandmother of the Conservation Movement," Murie served as secretary and governing council m
For decades, The Wilderness Society's magazine The Living Wilderness gave members and subscribers an inside look at efforts to conserve some of our country's most special wildlands, as well as travelogues, prose, photos, poems and art about the places themselves.
Two bills marked up by the House Natural Resources Committee on July 30 would protect land in Nevada's Pine Grove Hills and Pine Forest Range and near Washington's Alpine Lakes Wilderness
Details on the bills:

Tell congress it's time to stop sitting on more than two dozen wilderness bills.

Concealment of Breach of Fiduciary Duty Tolls the Alabama Statute of Limitations
Here's a case for you. Plaintiffs invest $2.5 million in an LLC formed to purchase real estate, and guarantee a $7.5 million loan to the LLC. The LLC buys the real estate for $10 million from Ray Jacobsen, an affiliate of the LLC's managers and its original investors. No one informs the new-money investors that Jacobsen bought the real estate for $5 million just days before selling it to the LLC for $10 million.
The plaintiffs alleged (a) that the LLC's managers and original investors (the defendants) were well aware of Jacobsen's "flip" of the property, (b) that the defendants never disclosed this information to the plaintiffs, (c) that the plaintiffs justifiably relied on the defendants' silence by forgoing independent investigation, and (d) that the plaintiffs learned of the fraud later by happenstance. DGB, LLC v. Hinds, No. 1081767, 2010 Ala. LEXIS 116 (Ala. June 30, 2010).
The investors sued for damages, claiming fraud and breach of fiduciary duty and asking for dissolution of the LLC. The defendants contended that the claims were barred by the statute of limitations. The trial court dismissed almost all of the investors' claims, and the plaintiffs appealed.
The defendants argued that the claims were barred by Alabama's two-year statutes of limitations, Ala. Code §§ 6-2-38(l), 8-6-19(f). The plaintiffs in turn invoked the fraud savings clause of Ala. Code § 6-2-3:
In actions seeking relief on the ground of fraud where the statute has created a bar, the claim must not be considered as having accrued until the discovery by the aggrieved party of the fact constituting the fraud, after which he must have two years within which to prosecute his action.
If applicable, this exception would save the plaintiffs' claims of fraud and breach of fiduciary duty, because their lawsuit had been filed within two years of their discovery of Jacobsen's double-dealing, although it was more than two years after the original real estate deal.
The court simply applied the savings clause to the fraud claims, but the fiduciary duty claims were examined more closely. The court ruled that fraudulent concealment of wrongful acts is enough to invoke the fraud savings clause, even if the cause of action was for something other than fraud. DGB, supra, at *15, 16. Since the plaintiffs had alleged concealment of the defendants' real estate flip, their claims survived.
The court never explicitly discussed what is necessary to make the concealment "fraudulent." Presumably it means that there was some degree of mens rea, i.e., a guilty mind or intent.
Statutes of limitation are more than mere technicalities. They prevent old, stale claims from popping up many years after the original event. Memories fade, evidence may be lost, and witnesses may die or be missing. But in this case the court's application of the fraud rule, along with its extension of the time for bringing the lawsuit, was the right result. As the court said, "A party cannot profit by his own wrong in concealing a cause of action against himself until barred by limitation. The statute of limitations cannot be converted into an instrument of fraud." DGB, supra, at 11, 12 (quoting Hudson v. Moore, 194 So. 147, 149 (Ala. 1940), overruled on other grounds by Ex parte Sonnier, 707 So. 2d 635 (Ala. 1997)).
The investors also asked the court to order the dissolution of the LLC. The Alabama LLC Act allows for judicial dissolution of an LLC "whenever it is not reasonably practicable to carry on the business in conformity with the articles of organization or operating agreement." Ala. Code § 10-12-38. This provision is similar to those of the Delaware LLC Act and the Washington LLC Act. Since dissolution can be granted "whenever" it is not reasonably practicable to carry out the business in conformance with the charter, the court found that there was no basis for applying the statute of limitations to a request for a dissolution. DGB, supra, at *10.
Deadlocks and Puts in Delaware
LLCs sometimes reach a point where the owners or managers disagree on business issues and find themselves unable to reach agreement on any course of action. This can happen because the members or managers have equally balanced voting power or because their LLC agreement requires a supermajority vote that neither side can reach. A long-running deadlock can be a huge problem for a business, since it will keep the company from responding to business changes. What's the owners' remedy then?
Sometimes the LLC agreement will have a solution. For example, the agreement may have a "cut and choose" provision, so that either side can initiate a buyout process that will leave one or the other with full ownership of the company. That may or may not be practicable, and in many cases the agreement simply has no answer for a deadlock.
If the agreement has no solution for deadlock, the parties are forced back to their state's LLC statute. In Fisk Ventures, LLC v. Segal (Jan. 13, 2009), one member of a Delaware LLC asked the Court of Chancery to order dissolution, citing Section 18-802 of Delaware's LLC Act. This section is short and sweet:
On application by or for a member or manager the Court of Chancery may decree dissolution of a limited liability company whenever it is not reasonably practicable to carry on the business in conformity with a limited liability company agreement.
NCCUSL's Revised Uniform LLC Act and many state statutes have similar provisions. Note that the operative word is "may" – the court has discretion. And the test is not one of oppression or wrong-doing, but simply a question of carrying on the business in conformity with the agreement.
In Fisk, the LLC agreement provided for a five-member Board to manage the LLC. One faction had three Board members; the other faction had two. (One side was dominated by the founder, the other by subsequent investors.) The agreement required a vote of 75% of the Board for most actions, including dissolution, and neither side could muster four Board members. The agreement provided no mechanism for resolving a stalemate. For five years the two factions had been in disagreement about financing and other issues. The result: five years of deadlock.
The court found that as a result of the deadlock and the Company's inability to raise capital, the company had "no office, no employees, no operating revenue, and no prospects of equity or debt infusion," and that there was effectively no business to operate.
Dr. Segal, however, argued that the LLC agreement did provide a means of navigating around the deadlock, because the agreement granted Fisk Ventures, the plaintiff seeking dissolution, a "put" right. The put meant that Fisk could require the company to buy Fisk's interest in the company for its fair value. The agreement provided for the price to be determined by an independent valuation, and to be paid either in cash at closing or in time payments over two years, based on the amount. Exercise of the put was at Fisk's discretion.
The court found that the existence of Fisk's optional put right did not resolve the deadlock, and refused to force Fisk to exercise its put. The court analyzed the put as an independent, economic right that was not a remedy for the deadlock. In the court's words, "it would be inequitable for this Court to force a party to exercise its option when that party deems it in its best interests not to do so." The court emphasized the primacy of freedom of contract under Delaware's LLC Act: "It is the policy of this chapter to give the maximum effect to the principle of freedom of contract and to the enforceability of limited liability company agreements." Section 18-1101(b).
Once the court had concluded that Fisk's put was not relevant to whether it was "reasonably practicable to carry on the business" in conformity with the LLC agreement, and given the dismal five-year history of the company, the court easily found that the company should be dissolved. Under the LLC Act, of course, once dissolved the company would have to be wound up in accordance with Section 18-801.
The 75% supermajority requirement may have been intended to prevent a bare majority from dominating or oppressing the minority, but here it led to a different type of bad result. The agreement did not provide for a way to resolve a deadlock, and the put apparently turned out to be an unsatisfactory mechanism for its holder.
The obvious moral for founders and investors (and their counsel) is to think hard about the contingencies when the LLC is being formed and when new investors come in. Concentrate not only on the upside of the proposed business deal but also on the alternative scenarios, and address the potential for deadlock. This is basic risk analysis – not easy, as evidenced by our recent history, even for highly experienced investors and business people. There's no substitute for probing the parties' assumptions and asking the hard questions.

New Delhi, India -- (ReleaseWire) -- 05/23/2013 -- Losing weight is important not just to look good but also to stay healthy. People usually try to lose weight with diet and exercise which are often not enough. This is largely because most people tend to give up dieting and exercise once the initial excitement to lose weight wanes off.
Dietary supplements are proven to be highly effective in speeding up weight loss when combined with diet and exercise. Weight loss drugs are infamous for their side effects and there is a shift towards natural fat burners and diet pills.
"Raspberry ketone looks like the most popular choice of fat burners. These are phenolic compounds that are extracted from red raspberries and help in boosting metabolism and suppressing appetite resulting in quick weight loss. Raspberry ketones are known to become instantly popular after featuring on Dr. OZ show" says a SlimmersExpert.co.uk spokesperson.
Raspberry ketones:
- Help get rid of accumulated fat by enhancing metabolic rate
- Increase the production of hormone adiponectin in the body that is inversely related to body fat
- Help reduce appetite too
- Increases energy and helps detoxify body too
- Ensure great weight loss results when combined with diet and exercise
- Have no side effects
- Raspberry ketone pills have been in great demand and the latest ones are a perfect combination of various natural ingredients such as garcinia extract and green tea extract etc.
Raspberry Ketone Diet Pills Review conducted by SlimmersExpert.co.uk highlights the following points:
- Garcinia Cambogia Extra is the top rated diet pill that has been getting excellent reviews from the actual users and fitness experts. This is a pill that contains a massive dose of 200 mg of raspberry ketones and 1000 mg of garcinia extract in each pill. It is known to boost metabolism and suppress appetite. Another feature is that it is known to act as a fat blocker too. This is a feature that no other raspberry ketone pill offers. It is proven to ensure quick and safe weight loss.
- Tea Tone Plus is another excellent diet pill that combines the power of raspberry ketones with three kinds of tea extracts. This pills is a natural fat burner and appetite suppressant that also helps reduce LDL cholesterol in the body leading to quick and fast weight loss.
- Raspberry Ketone Plus from Evolution Slimming is a powerful blend of raspberry ketones and 8 other natural fat burners to ensure quick and natural weight loss.
"Such pills are the latest trend in fitness circles and can help reduce weight quickly. Garcinia Cambogia Extra is a great performer that is highly rated by experts too" says a SlimmersExpert.co.uk spokesperson.

LILBURN - Police are investigating two Sunday night armed robberies, one of which may be connected to a rash of similar unsolved robberies.Sgt. Tyler Thomas, spokesman for the Lilburn Police Department, said a man entered the CVS Pharmacy on U.S. Highway 29 at Harmony Grove Road around 9:30 p.m., wearing a gray hooded sweatshirt and a black mask. The man brandished a handgun and demanded money from the clerk, Thomas said. He then fled the scene with an undisclosed amount of money. Thomas said the suspect's behavior and description matches that of the the perpetrator in two separate incidents - a Citgo station on Rockbridge Road and a Marathon convenience store on Arcado Road - that occurred last month. Police believe that all of the robberies may have been committed by the same suspect, who might also be connected to prior robberies at the Public Storage on Indian Trail Road and other Public Storage locations in DeKalb County, Thomas said. A GBI sketch of a suspect, a black man with a slender build, was recently released to media outlets in the area, but no one has contacted police with information leading to an arrest. Thomas hopes more media attention will help bring the suspect or suspects to justice. As for the second incident on Sunday, a Wendy's restaurant on U.S. 29 near Arcado Road was robbed by two black men wearing dark clothes and masks about an hour earlier, Thomas said. The two suspects, one of whom was carrying a handgun, were nearly caught by police, as officers arrived on the scene approximately 30 seconds after the suspect fled with an undisclosed amount of money. "We were very close behind them, and they dropped some of the money when they were escaping," Thomas said. A witness who was at the drive-through, as well as another in the parking lot, both called 911 when they were alerted to the robbery in progress, Thomas said. The witness at the drive-through was told by an employee about the incident, and the woman in the parking lot found out through her son, who was told at the door to leave and saw the men robbing the restaurant. The two men, whose identities and descriptions are unknown, are still at large. Thomas said police are not ruling out the possibility that both Sunday night robberies were connected. Anyone with information leading to the arrests of any of the suspects is asked to call the Lilburn police at 770-638-2220.

A new initiative by SunEdison will see the installation of distributed solar power plants around India, bringing electricity to areas that have never had it before. Through the program, called Eradication of Darkness, SunEdison will design, install and cialis sale in australia manage the levitra headaches solar power systems in remote villages across the country.

The program will be implemented in stages as funding from government grants and private investors and corporations, as well as logistical partners, are acquired. As of now, 29 villages in the Guna District have been identified for the next phase of viagra equivalent installations.
An integral part of the program is educating the cheapest prices for viagra online villages' residents on visit web site buy generic cialis solar power and best prices on brand viagra electricity, including safety training,
"As challenging as logistics are in rural electrification, it is important that residents have a voice in the development, deployment and management of a solution," said Pashupathy Gopalan, Managing Director, South Asia and Sub-Saharan Operations, SunEdison. "We have worked very hard to buy cheap generic viagra understand their needs and provide education about the possibilities of electricity. We believe education is one of the most important aspects to ensuring the project's success."

He's presently collaborating as co-director with Kenneth Branagh on a highly anticipated production of Shakespeare's Macbeth, starring the British actor-director, that's scheduled to move from Manchester, England (where it had an acclaimed opening last summer), to New York's Park Avenue Armory in June. And Lyric announced …that Ashford will direct a new production of the classic Rodgers and Hammerstein musical Carousel to conclude the company's diamond anniversary season in April 2015. With Broadway and the Bard securely under his belt, not to mention NBC's recent The Sound of Music Live!, which Ashford directed, Barber of Seville should be a cakewalk, right? Yes and no. It seems that Rossini's greatest hit will be the first opera [Ashford] has ever directed…" Read the article in the Chicago Tribune.
Robert Needham (A&S 1981) is the author of Mystery Mountain: A Walk With God, published by Christian publisher Xulon Press. The book traces the story of a ninth grade science class that receives an anonymous invitation to take a field trip to Mt. Ararat in Turkey. On their hike to and from the summit, the teacher and students encounter some of the world's greatest scientific minds. What they discover is that these same scientists lead them in a direct pathway to God's Kingdom. "This book unravels the mysteries of God for the adventure-seeker in search of answers to man's most confounding questions about the world we live in," according to Needham. "It will help the reader to unleash the hidden ties that keep us from being all we can be, and 'enter in' to God's world, as seen through the eyes of some of the greatest minds." Needham, who earned his degree in mechanical and civil engineering technology degree at Point Park, has more than 40 years of experience in product design. An avid backpacker and hiker, he says, "I owe the inspiration and storyline of this book to the Lord's leadership in my life, every day of the three and a half years that I sat down to write it. …A testament to what one can do if they are willing to walk out of their 'comfort zone.'" The book is available online through xulonpress.com/bookstore, amazon.com and barnesandnoble.com. See a video trailer.

According to Broadway World, Bernstein joined The New Group last February "after eleven years with New York City's Signature Theatre, where he was promoted twice before becoming its general manager in 2006. He played an integral role in Signature's transition to The Pershing Square Signature Center, its Frank Gehry-designed home on 42nd Street and its growth from a $3 million producing theater to a $12 million institution. Leading up to the opening of the Center in 2012, he helped to lead Signature's efforts to plan and manage its $70 million capital budget including securing over $10 million in project financing."

Mary Ann Bradley (COPA 1997) was named one of Dance Magazine's "25 to Watch" for 2014. Currently in her ninth season with Zenon Dance Company of Minneapolis, she is a two time recipient of the McKnight Fellowship for Dancers. The magazine notes: "Bradley gives Zenon Dance Company's eclectic repertory both elegance and pizzazz: Her innate musicality can transform ballroom dance moves into kinetic storytelling, while her goofy, off-kilter glamour inspires choreographers like Andrea Miller and Danny Buraczeski. In a recent solo created for her by Jennifer Arave for Walker Art Center's Momentum series, Bradley ricocheted around a small raised platform, sawing an electric guitar in two like a woman possessed. A native of Dayton, OH, Bradley began her training at the Dayton Ballet School, and performed with local pre-professional companies Dance Theatre Dayton and Dayton Contemporary Dance II. Since moving to Minnesota she has danced with numerous Twin Cities–based companies and choreographers and is currently in her ninth season with Zenon." Read the article in Dance Magazine.

Daina Michelle Griffith (COPA '03) was named the 2013 Post-Gazette Performer of the Year. According to the Post-Gazette, the award "…goes to a Norwegian seductress, a vengeful Irish wife, a butch lesbian, a youthful musical protester, an Ohioan whose fiance died in World War II, several hallucinated Nazis, and a couple of fictional writers, each creating the play she is in. And thanks to the wonder of theater, all these were played with invention and skill during 2013 by one person, Daina Michelle Griffith….Several roles had the heft and distinction worthy of the award on their own, but above all we honor her combination of excellence with versatility — not to mention energy. Griffith's 2013 roles were for Quantum Theatre, Playhouse Rep, No Name Players, barebones productions and, in three plays, Off the Wall Productions in Carnegie, perhaps our region's least-known professional company but a comer. In Griffith's 10 years on Pittsburgh professional stages (2002-13, minus two years she spent in New York), she has also acted for Pittsburgh Public Theater, City Theatre, Pittsburgh Irish & Classical Theatre, Pittsburgh CLO, Pittsburgh Musical Theater, Prime Stage, Jewish Theater, you name it."

Jonathan Freeland (COPA '13) is playing the role of male jet/shark swing in the North American tour of West Side Story. He returned to campus in March 2014 to teach a master class to Point Park students. According to Freeland, "I approached teaching the song ("Cool" from West Side Story) in nearly the same way I learned it during the audition process. Because the piece I taught is just as driven by the acting as it is by the movement, I wanted to make sure that the students understood the meaning behind each piece of choreography. The class wasn't just about learning steps, but really about being able to apply the training the students receive in their acting classes, just as much as the technical training they receive in their dance classes. The class was great!"

So I had this awesome twilight dream. It was really interesting that i figured i should probably share it. So it started out simple. i was lost in the forest screaming for an angel. i dont have any clue why i wanted an angel but i did. anyways, i was screaming when i slammed myself too my knees and cried. i closed my eyes and squeezed them shut. when i opened my eyes i was my bathroom rinsing off my face with some water. when i looked up i noticed something black on my shoulder.
i looked at it and it was the wolf mark. it was the tatto that the werewolves of la push wore on their shoulders. i panicked at first and then was like "sweet" stunned that i was now a wolf. after that i discovered the ins and outs of the life of the werewolf. then next thing i knew i was dating jacob black and we were madly in love. it came down too a fight with the volturi.
Things were out of control. we were battling them because they wanted too use us as pets and we refused of course. the battle was ended when me and jane volturi made a truce. then we both slowly became bestfriends. after a long time of being a wolf i went cliff diving with jake and when i hit the water i awoke. but it was one hell of a dream.

WASHINGTON (MarketWatch) -- Despite an "unprecedented" 2.6% weakening in real terms in the yuan in February and March, the Treasury Department did not label China a currency manipulator. The Treasury is required to make this judgement twice a year, and China hasn't been named one since 1994. Treasury said the weakening of the yuan "would raise particularly serious concerns if they presage renewed resistance to currency appreciation and a retreat from China's announced policy of reducing intervention and allowing the exchange rate to reflect market forces." The report said that the yuan remains "significantly undervalued." The U.S. did not back down from its previous assertion that Germany should take steps to strengthen demand, noting that German goods imports were 1% weaker for 2013.

The Sadducees were a group of Jews opposed to the Pharisees today's Rabbinical Jews, founded in the second century BC. They are believed to have ceased to exist sometime after the destruction of the second Temple in Jerusalem in 70AD, but it has been speculated that modern Karaites are descended from Sadducees.

Andrew Weathers / Ancient Ocean
(Rubber City Noise)
The disparate strands of rustic Americana and lulling ambient atmospherics are tied into a singular entity on this split cassette from Andrew Weathers and John Bohannon as Ancient Ocean. The two prove to be a fitting pair as each artist documents the various ways quiet drones and slowly unfurling acoustic guitar notes can combine. There are subtle differences in their approaches, as Weathers is more prone to feature fluid melody while Ancient Ocean builds a base of looped repetition for his dew-coated guitar figures to take hold. However, both sides of this 43 minute tape go a long way toward establishing the promise of this subgenre that seemingly owes just as much to Sandy Bull as it does Brian Eno. – Ryan Potts, Experimedia
Mike Shiflet / Joe Panzner
Recollect / Reconstruct
(RCN Recordings)
Mike Shiflet and Joe Panzner are no strangers to each other's work, having collaborated for years under the Scenic Railroads moniker (if you haven't heard their self-released split with Raglani from several years back you'd do well to seek it out). Indeed, Panzner and Shiflet share a similar creative ethos (Panzner has guested on and mastered a few of Shiflet's solo releases), favoring coruscating drones and extreme digital detritus as compositional tropes. For their RCN split, Shiflet fires first - offering up a longform drone likely sourced from guitar and recalling very much his recent outings for Type. Monochromatic, overdriven guitar drones surge and accumulate more high-end detail over the course of the piece, finally cresting and blooming into shards of white-hot sonic shrapnel. Panzner's piece functions in precisely the inverse manner, beginning with flailing, downright ugly wails of noise which grow sparser, more subdued and, ultimately, fade away. A well suited split indeed. - Alex Cobb, Experimedia
Karl Vorndran
(RCN Recordings)
"Thawing" is straight-up bonkers. And I mean that in the best possible way. This is the first solo effort from Cane Swords' & RCN Co-Founder Karl Vorndran and it's fantastic to say the least. "Thawing" is an exquisite dichotomy of chaos and control as Vorndran takes a multitude of disparate, combative ideas and somehow manages to fit them together in a way that not just makes sense, but adds even more weight to the proceedings. Vorndran's emphasis is on modular synthesis. Each piece of music flows perfectly into the next, turning the tape into a complex web of fried circuitry and sonic shrapnel. Feedback loops devolve into scowling, electronic drones that drill deeper and deeper into your brainwaves until bizarre, disjoineted rhythms drop in from nowhere to run interference. What I love most is how Vorndran's takes structural compositions and dials them in to the point where they start to fall apart. In those passages he'll go off in weird, snarling improvised tangents that somehow, eventually, bring it all back home. He does an incredible job at showing how just how blurry the line between structure and discord is and that, in reality, they both work best in conjunction. This is a stellar debut and easily one of my favorite tapes of 2012 so far. - Brad Rose, Experimedia
Listen to "Bound and Folded" from Karl Vorndran's new tape Thawing, available to buy from RCN Recordings on April 14.
Listen to Ancient Ocean's "Seneca" from the new Andrew Weathers / Ancient Ocean split cassette, available to buy from RCN Recordings on April 14.
Hopefully lost dreamscapes rife with broken strings, disembodied ethereal voices, multi-dimensional logic. Behind the veil, a constant breath, steering you home.

Android Orphans: Visualizing a Sad History of Support
Great Analysis by Michael DeGusta:
I went back and found every Android phone shipped in the United States -up through the middle of last year. I then tracked down every update that was released for each device - be it a major OS upgrade or a minor support patch - as well as prices and release & discontinuation dates. I compared these dates & versions to the currently shipping version of Android at the time. The resulting picture isn't pretty - well, not for Android users:

In an effort to restart collective bargaining talks with the CFL, the Players Association submitted a new four-year offer to the league Monday, TSN learned Monday night. The union's new offer included reductions on several financial proposals from ones made in its previous offer made last week. But the league swiftly rejected the new numbers, pushing the players closer to considering a work stoppage.
In a memo obtained by TSN, the players financial proposals included a $5.2 million salary cap in 2014 ($4.8 million minimum) that grew to $6.0 million ($5.4 million minimum) after four seasons. Minimum salaries would start at $50,000 dollars in 2014, and grow to $53,000 by 2017.
Last week, the players offered a $5.8 million salary cap that would grow 3% annually. But the crux of the union's financial recommendations was a "Revenue Protection Clause" created to set a threshold to renegotiate the salary cap if the CFL's aggregate revenues drastically increased. In the third year of a new deal, the players would want to renegotiate the cap if league revenues increased $12 million from the previous year. In the players' newest offer, the threshold would be set at $18 million.
The union also revised pension contributions ($4,000 per player and $4,000 per club), and "Compensation for Veterans for Increase in Salary Expenditure Cap" set at $8,500 for veterans and $1,500 for rookies.
And the union maintained its desire to discuss other points, including practice times and numbers of contact practices, and salary protection and medical treatment if players are injured late in season. At the beginning of the memo the Players Association describes its offer as "more favourable."
Last week, the CFL offered a $5 million cap and a threshold to reopen discussions on the salary cap limit if league-wide revenues increased by $27 million from the previous year, also in the third season of a new CBA. Hours before the current CBA expired, commissioner Mark Cohon called it the league's "final" offer. The CFL has evidently not moved from that position, and quickly rejected the player's offer.
"[The CFL] indicated that they see no point in meeting unless we are prepared to accept their offer," reads the Players Association's memo.
"It is obvious to your Negotiating Committee that notwithstanding our effort to resolve this matter, the only possible way of convincing them that they should reconsider their position will be with a work stoppage."
The Players Association's memo closes by stating players will be advised what the union's next move is once strike ballots from Calgary and Edmonton are counted.

LUBBOCK, TX (KCBD) - Is a tax on soda the answer to a growing obese population? A new study suggests it could help. The study released just this week found the more people had to pay for soda, the less they drank it. So, we wanted to see if folks here agree.
"The more sugar, the more calories you're going to have in it," Covenant Health System Dietitian Allyson Click said. That's why some say it's time to cut back on soda and other sugared drinks.
Different studies show these drinks can increase risks for obesity and diabetes; now a new study that followed more than 5,000 young people for 20-years suggests upping the cost could lower the risk.
Click says the problem can be that people just don't realize how many calories they're swallowing. "A lot of times not, because you think if I'm not getting full, then I'm not actually getting calories from it," Click said.
There's no doubt obesity is a problem. This year, it's estimated Texas will spend $15.6 billion on health costs associated with obesity, but Click says a tax on sugared drinks is not the solution. "The tax in it of itself is not going to be what helps; somebody at some point has to make the decision the they're not going to drink a coke anymore," Click said.
Crystal Garcia and Alexander Zapata say they don't' drink all that much soda. Still, they say if a tax were added to their drink, they'd cut-back. "I don't even drink that much, so why drink something that gets too expensive," Garcia said.
"I would probably stop drinking it for the idea of them taxing it," Zapata said.
"If you're addicted to it, and you want it, you'll pay for it," Click said. She says education is the key, which has been the focus of Texas law makers, including money for the Texas Bringing Healthy Back program.
Click says a lot of people know what's good and what's not; it's just a matter of choosing. "It's just a matter of realizing that there's a problem and choosing to change it. We look for so many quick fixes today and just want somebody else to fix our problems for us instead of taking ownership of our health," Click said.
Click says soda can be part of a balanced diet, as long as it's in moderation. Also, she says switching to diet soda will save on calories and sugar.
If you're looking to stop drinking soda, Click suggests a partner who also wants to quit. That way you'll hold each other accountable. If you're looking to switch to diet, but aren't a fan of the taste, Click suggests mixing regular and diet soda at first. She says you can gradually reduce the amount of regular soda per drink, until it's solely diet.

Gay app Grindr crashes as Olympic athletes arrive in London →
Grindr is an app you can put on your smartphone to find guys to fuck. It uses GPS-enabled smartphones to triangulate a potential mate's location in real time, without requiring any eye contact. Since launching in 2009, it has claimed the title of largest gay social network from other contenders, mostly thanks to word of mouth, though it has enjoyed more than a few breathless trend articles. Joel Simkhai, Grindr's youthfully handsome CEO, is as virginal as his company's PR. In interviews, he demurs when pressed and insists that all his app wants is to help men find out who nearby is gay. This self-neutering is partly explained by Grindr's need to conform to the decency guidelines of Apple's walled garden. The user agreement for Grindr stipulates that no "offensive or pornographic" materials be included in a profile; violation leads to profiles being disabled.
But Grindr's media celibacy, however, doesn't stop the app from publicly identifying as a gay concern or from participating in gay politics as popularly understood. In a move that must have caught Chris Hughes's eye, New York users were greeted with the telephone number of the state legislator for their GPS coordinates when they logged on early last June and were urged to place calls in support of marriage equality. (Other platforms for user-generated content, such as Tumblr, have made similar efforts to push political action, encouraging the idea that brand identification can also be a sort of de facto political subjectivity.) After a few decades of gay politics' rightward-glancing sanitization — from closing the bathhouses to the current focus on children's bullying — this development should not surprise anyone. With Grindr we see the conjunction of a gay political identity with a discursive rejection of the very aspect of gayness that is both most definitive and which the app mobilizes for profit: sex.
A good read, and while I don't agree with everything (Fox is a bit too saccharine when it comes to his treatment of Simkhai's post-gay attitudes), I like the take on the changing face of gay identity. It was personally jarring to think of how my own identity and my (in this case, specifically gay male) friends' identities, which are, in large part, based upon a physically defined spaces, are in some ways in contention with contemporary gay identities. If our (communal) identity is defined by the means by which our communities subsist, what happens when the means is wholly deconstructed, reconstituted, or made irrelevant?
I'm going to push this more. Pu-pu-push it reall good.

Before last night's meetup, Scott and I were discussing his gay city post.
We already had Robynhood, Otter Street, and Pocket Gay Square…and, of course, Chinatown. Some additional neighborhoods/places/roads we came up with:
Suggestions welcome, y'all. Get on it!
What would happen if gay men just decided to take over a city and live there? My first thought was that the entire city would become something akin to a large bath house, but then I realized that we're by and large too judgy a people for that, and we'd end up subdiving the city by pop idol worship and body hair preferences.
I would live in Robyn-hood on Otter Street probably.
Robyn-hood! I DIE!
I'd have a condo in Pocket-gay Square. Near Chinatown.
Yes. There would be a Chinatown.

Here's a tip: if you're ever in Indianapolis and hungry for cupcakes, go to The Flying Cupcake Bakery. They are much better and not bigots.
Who goes to a cookie place for cupcakes, anyway?
Before I say anything, I just want it to be known that I'm not trying to start shit with Diariesofaboy.
I used to think like that. Before I even came out, I had decided I wasn't going to be a stereotypical gay and in some ways, I'm still not, but I didn't think I would ever…
You are absolutely right, my friend. I used to have the same opinion about Pride, but fuck that noise. Am I right!
Annoying trashbags can be anything: gay, straight, trans, bi. So writing off Pride because of some campy, scantily clad queens isn't something I can do in good conscience. It goes without saying that we queers haven't reached the mountaintop yet. And when you live in a world full of people determined to invalidate your personhood, wave your flag that much higher, be as femme as you want, gay the fuck out all the fucking time, wear as little as you want, and have all the butt sex you can. The queenier the better. The queerer the better.
Over-the-top queens are some of the bravest people I know.

I wasn't sure about the combination of ingredients here, but it the finished dish came out wonderful. I did omit the pearl onions and used a finely chopped shallot however. I also changed the prep. Instead of baking the chicken by itself, I browned it and placed it in a casserole dish. After I made the sauce, I poured it over and then put all of it in the over at 375 to braise the chicken and keep it moist. It came out perfect that way. I had never had a chestnut before. I liked them and they were fun to roast and peel.
Sweet Vermouth Chicken

Flavorful. Good fall dinner. Not sure it's worth the time. Will most likely not make it again.
Borzage Posted: 01/29/10
I'm so sad to have finally tried a recipe that I wouldn't make again! I read the reviews from other chefs, and IF the chicken had been browned in a sauce pan and baked in the sauce it might have been a better overall flavor, the way that Michelle did. The way the recipe has it cooked didn't allow the chicken didn't take on much flavor from the sauce or other ingredients. It ended up being a bland piece of chicken in a semi-interesting sauce. We made it with all the ingredients; the chestnuts I had hoped would add texture, but I could have done without them. I did not care for their flavor or texture in the dish. The onions, cranberries and mushrooms are all favorite flavors of my family, but fell flat with the sauce. With so many great chicken recipes out there, this one doesn't shine at all. My family of foodies usually raves over CL recipes, but after one bite our faces all fell flat. Because it was easy, if you're curious and want to try it, I say you should find out for yourselves...but if you want to save about $6, skip the nuts; you won't miss them. Dry vermouth would be just as good if that's what you have on hand...or you can use the remaining sweet vermouth in a Manhattan!

Eye Health Center
Vision Problems: Make the Problem Smaller by Making Things Bigger
Aug. 8, 2000 -- The presence of an eye disease doesn't automatically mean a person can't read. It's just that they may need a little help. That is the message of a British study that examined the efficacy of visual aids in patients with a variety of eye disorders -- including macular degeneration, glaucoma, cataracts, and others. About 170 people took part in the study -- most of them elderly.
Going in, more than three-quarters of them could not read a standard newspaper -- and 40% had trouble with large print. But with an appropriate visual aid, those numbers improved dramatically, such that 90% could read standard newsprint.
The aids included several types of magnifiers -- illuminated and not -- and either hand-held or on a stand. The authors aren't saying these devices are perfect for reading a book -- reading speed and duration weren't measured -- but they do point out that visually impaired people who may have given up on routine household tasks, such as paying bills, can do them if they get help.
That's exactly the message Lester Minton of Rego Park, N.Y., wants visually handicapped people to get. The 77-year-old suffers from macular degeneration. But maybe "suffers" is the wrong word: He spoke with WebMD just after returning from a bicycle ride, and a few months before indulging in one of his favorite sports: skiing. "We have 98% of our peripheral vision left. We can survive. I can see cars. I can see people. But I don't define features ... I'm able to accomplish so much because I don't allow this visual impairment to halt my progress and the balance of my life."
Among the aids Minton relies on: A hand-held magnifier, which he carries around constantly to allow for the reading of small print on labels -- and a more sophisticated machine. "Now I'm sitting in front of my major device," he says. "Which is a closed-circuit TV." Minton slides a hard-to-read document on a platform below the box and it is projected onto the screen. "I use this closed-circuit TV to write checks, read what I have to ... So that I don't feel left behind, which is one of the major stumbling blocks for seniors and for those with handicaps."
But many are left behind, for a variety of reasons. "There's no such thing as anybody with any residual vision not being able to read," says Lorraine Marchi, founder and CEO of the National Association for Visually Handicapped (NAVH). "Most people don't know what's available." And, she says, some people want to keep their handicap hidden: "Most people don't need white canes or guide dogs. (But) they feel it's a stigma. Therefore, a lot of people don't want help. They don't want anyone to know they're visually impaired." And yet at least 20 million Americans probably are impaired to one degree or another, Marchi says.
While magnifiers of one sort or another are the primary means of helping visually handicapped people to function, they're not the only things out there. The NAVH website (www.navh.org) sells wide-lined paper, templates for writing checks, envelopes and letters, as well as talking watches and ones with big numbers.
For those unwilling to avail themselves of visual aids, Minton has a final bit of advice: "We have to be positive. We have it. But it's not the end of the world."

When toddlers hit a certain age, there are days when it seems like "no" is the only word that comes out of your mouth. "No, you can't eat the cat's food," "No, that will break," "No, you can't draw on the wall."
A couple things happen at that point. You get bogged down in all that negativity, the word starts to lose some of its power, and eventually your child starts repeating it right back to you.
Then you'll never get rid of it!
One mom in the Old Fashioned & Anti Mainstream Moms is looking for alternatives to the word "no" for her 1 year old.
"I tend to over-talk (Bobo, we don't touch the table cloth because all the stuff will fall down and Bobo will get hurt"). So we usually go with the less wordy "no" and redirection, but I'm looking for other words to get the point across."
Fellow moms say these terms work equally well with their toddlers:
Don't touch
Stay away
Be gentle
Not for ______ (child's name)
Hands off
Please don't
That's owie
Question: When disciplining toddlers, is it possible to overuse the word "no"?
No, no, no, not at all

Do you stick with "no" or have you found alternative terms to indicate your toddler shouldn't be doing that? Is using "no" over and over damaging in any way?
I think it can definitely be overused...my DS is a great example. He doesn't even listen when I say 'no' anymore. I have started to tell him what I would like him to do instead. When he's repeatedly touching something he shouldn't, I say "put your hands behind your back" and he does it immediately. I often have to redirect him to other thigns to break the pattern. Also, I have noticed that if he is repeatedly doing things he's not supposed to, it's usually because he wants my attention. So I try to STOP what I'm doing, and spend about 5 or 10 minutes with him. This usually curtails mischief-making for awhile.

3-Ingredient Peanut Butter Cookies

Convention Attention: Anime Midwest
Earlier this month, my husband and I attended Anime Midwest, in Chicago. As the name implies, the majority of guests, panels, and activities had a connection to Japanese anime shows and movies, Japanese culture, and Japanese fashion. Special guests included voice actors Caitlin Glass, Sonny Strait, Greg Ayres, Alexis Tipton, and Johnny Yong Bosch, the famous Japanese fashion brand Baby the Stars Shine Bright, and a number of independent fashion designers. There were also steampunk and comedy based musical guests, gaming experts on hand, webcomic artists and authors, and Japanese weaponry experts.

Affordable Linux Netbook from the Australian Agora
The Agora netbook from Kogan Technologies could be considered the most affordable netbook out of Australia. Availability starts in April 2009 at a price of merely AU$499.
The Agora comes preinstalled with gOS Cloud with attractive Google Gadgets. Kogan based their decision to go with gOS in a blog survey. Kogan offers the Agora (Latin for "marketplace") in two variants. The Agora Netbook (currently about US$330) comes with 1 GByte RAM and a 3-cell battery. The Agora Netbook PRO (currently about US$356) has additional Bluetooth and a 6-cell battery.
Both models have a nonreflective 10" monitor, a 160-GByte hard drive (despite the diskless needs of cloud computing) and the usual Atom N270 processor.

Weekend Roundup: Found Money, Luck, and Really Old Beer
Published on - September 23rd, 2007 (by J.D. Roth)
Get Rich Slowly passed its 3,000,000th visit last night — its 5,000,000th pageview and 31,000th subscriber came earlier this week. These numbers are nice, but what's really important are the contributions from readers like you. You folks send me great story ideas, interesting web sites, and puzzling money questions. You also keep the place lively with insightful comments and great discussions in the forum. Thank you.
Here are some of the stories I liked last week from other personal finance and productivity blogs:
The Mighty Bargain Hunter shared a $503,000 typo. A 150-year-old bottle of beer sold recently for $304 on eBay. This is an amazing story!
I believe that luck is overrated — what happens to us is less about luck and more about preparation, attitude, and an open mind. Pick the Brain offers 7 ways to make your own good luck.
Have you ever wondered what the difference is between financial advisors and stock brokers? Flexo at Consumerism Commentary explains the difference.
Last week, Jim at Blueprint for Financial Prosperity participated in a paid focus group. I've always wondered what these things were like, so it's interesting to read a first-hand account.
What would you do if you found a wallet on the sidewalk with $1100 inside and no identification? That happened to Nickel a few years ago, and he's turned the experience into a discussion of how to deal with found money.
While Free Money Finance is on vacation, his blog is filled with guest posts, like this list of five reasons exchange-traded funds trump mutual funds. Meanwhile, another guest poster at No Credit Needed offers an introduction to dividends, an investing concept I haven't mentioned much around here.
JLP notes that the Bush Administration would like to expand mortgage disclosures so that the terms of the loan — including prepayment penalties or interest rate hikes — are more obvious.
Finally, I love this brief story at Unclutterer on the danger of hoarding. Makes me glad that Kris and I are in the process of purging!
This article is about Spare Change
The consensus on MetaFilter was that the high auction price in the hundreds of thousands was a hoax.
according to this the half million dollar bid was a fake:
but the guy has subsequently had presumably legit "six figure offers"
I was pretty surprised by both bids. $304 is nothing for a sealed bottle of beer that old. But half a mill, yeah, wayyy too much.
I was surprised to see the suggestion that it was a fake, 'cause the high bidder had 44 feedbacks, 100% positive. ID theft?
If you look at the bids, all of them except the last are fake-looking names. Just bidding it up really high.
The buyer left a kind feedback for the seller too. http://myworld.ebay.com/collectordan/
No feedback for the buyer yet, but it's only been a couple days. I'm going to guess he doesn't pay.
Interesting though!
Err .. scratch the comment about the other bidders. That is apparently what ebay does to names now instead of displaying them.
But still.. the comment!
