Like many of you, I came to Utah to attend law school—and forgot to leave. It was the best decision I never made. In 1999, I started at the SJ Quinney College of Law. This year, I will attend my 10-year reunion. Over the years, I have served as a judicial clerk, a litigator at Ray Quinney & Nebeker, and now in-house counsel for Zions Bancorp. I have had the privilege of meeting many bar members through my involvement in the Young Lawyers Division, the Utah Minority Bar Association and Women Lawyers of Utah.
I believe that the Bar ultimately should be a resource to its members. As President of the Young Lawyers Division (2010-2011), I focused on this principle with the creation of three new committees (CLE, Recession Response and Networking) designed to help young lawyers gain the skills necessary to succeed during difficult economic times. As an ex-officio member of the Bar Commission (2010-2011), I have observed and participated in the Commission's decision-making process and know how it can be used to enhance our resources. If elected, I plan to infuse new ideas to existing programs to make them run in a more efficient and cost effective manner with the ultimate goal of freeing up resources for new programs and services. An example of how I've implemented this strategy in the past can be seen in the Bar's effort to enhance the image of lawyers in Utah. (You may have heard the ads that were part of the media campaign on the radio.) This issue is an important one that impacts each member of the Bar. As President of the Young Lawyers Division, I thought the young lawyers should help with the effort. Unfortunately, we didn't have the resources to make a monetary contribution, so instead we focused our efforts on creating newsworthy service projects that would highlight the positive contributions of lawyers in our community.
In 2010-2011, articles about the service provided by young lawyers in Utah appeared in the Deseret News, the Salt Lake Tribune and Good Things Utah. Our Cinderella Boutique was "adopted" by Disney. It was highlighted in Disney's Salt Lake City screening of the movie "Prom" and publicized on Radio Disney. Through these efforts, the Young Lawyers Division was able to contribute to the cause without spending additional funds. This is the kind of innovative thinking that I can bring to the Bar Commission.
During these difficult economic times, we have all been asked to do more with less. By thinking outside the box we can do more for our members with the resources currently available. If elected to the Bar Commission I will focus on the critical task of providing and increasing significant and reliable resources without increasing costs. I hope you will support me in this effort.

OAK RIDGE (WATE) - Tonight another "In God We Trust" sign is hanging in Anderson County.
This one was unveiled at the Anderson County Sessions Court building in Oak Ridge.
Back in July, "In God We Trust" signs went up at the Anderson County courthouse in Clinton.
County Commission approved the signs in February after a lengthy debate over separation of church and state.
When asked about those still opposed to the signs, County Mayor Terry Frank had this message:
"It was a vote that took place in a democratic process. It was an overwhelming majority. I know there are folks who are unhappy about it, but it's our national motto. It doesn't have to be viewed in a religious aspect."
During today's ceremony, a plaque commemorating the Anderson county soldiers who died in Iraq and Afghanistan was also unveiled.

(NAFB)--Today marks the 40th anniversary of the oil embargo imposed by the Organization of Arab Petroleum Exporting Countries as punishment for America's support of Israel during the Yom Kippur War. On that date - Renewable Fuels Association President and CEO Bob Dinneen says the Organization of Petroleum Exporting Countries decided to raise the price of oil by 70-percent a barrel and cut production over time in five-percent increments until they were satisfied that their political policies were understood and respected. He notes the energy crisis of 1973 spurred the energy legislation signed into law by President Jimmy Carter - the spirit and intent of which was to establish a domestic, renewable fuel alternative to foreign oil. Dinneen says ethanol has the proven ability to not only displace foreign oil and stretch our existing domestic oil supply - it has proven to lower the price per gallon of gasoline, replace lead and other toxins, reduce greenhouse gas emissions - all while stimulating economic development and job creation in the U.S.
According to Dinneen - the facts speak for themselves. He says ethanol makes up 10-percent of the U.S. gasoline supply today - up from less than one-percent 20 years ago. Ethanol displaced an amount equivalent to the gasoline refined from 462-million barrels of imported crude oil last year - which is more oil than the U.S. imported from Saudi Arabia. As a result - last year the U.S. reduced expenditures on imported oil by 44-billion dollars. What's more - ethanol has reduced gasoline prices by an average of a dollar per gallon in 2012 and 2013.
Dinneen says it's sad that petty political theatrics, Big Oil corporate money and small-minded misinformation are undermining the single most effective energy policy this country has known - the Renewable Fuel Standard. He's hopeful it won't take another energy crisis to wake Congress up to the economic and national security importance of a domestically-produced, renewable fuel alternative. Dinneen says this isn't the time to roll back policies and undercut the progress the country has made. He says ethanol is fueling a stronger, healthier, more independent nation.

Last month, Barton Gellman and I opened for Edward Snowden's first-ever public appearance, at the SXSW conference in Austin.

Britain is turning into a country that can't tell its terrorists from its journalists
Sarah Harrison, a British journalist who's worked with Wikileaks and the Snowden papers, writes that she will not enter the UK any longer because the nation's overbroad anti-terror laws, combined with the court decision that validates using them to detain journalists who are not suspected of terrorism under any reasonable definition of the term, means that she fears begin detained at the airport and then jailed as a terrorist when she refuses to decrypt her files and grant police access to her online accounts. Under the UK's Terrorism Act of 2000, journalists who write because they hope to expose and halt corruption are liable to being jailed as terrorists because they report on leaks in a way that is "designed to influence the government." And "the government," according to the Act, is any government, anywhere in the world -- meaning that journalists who report on leaks that embarrass any government in the world can be treated as terrorists in the UK.
Nor is this an idle risk: Glenn Greenwald's partner, David Miranda, was detained under terrorism rules when he transited through the UK, and a UK judge subsequently found that the detention was justified on these grounds, even though no one suggests that Miranda is involved in terrorism in any way. As Harrison writes, "Britain is turning into a country that can't tell its terrorists from its journalists."
The final paragraphs of Harrison's editorial sum it up neatly:

If you're an average reader, I've got your attention for 15 seconds, so here goes: We are getting a lot wrong about the web these days. We confuse what people have clicked on for what they've read. We mistake sharing for reading.

Will US condemn UK for using terrorism laws to suppress journalism?
In a disturbing ruling for democracy, a lower court in United Kingdom announced today that the detainment of journalist Glenn Greenwald's partner David Miranda was lawful under the Terrorism Act, despite the fact that the UK government knew Miranda never was a terrorist. This disgraceful opinion equates acts of journalism with terrorism and puts the UK on par with some of the world's most repressive regimes. Miranda has vowed to appeal the ruling.
Glenn Greenwald has much more on what this means for press freedom, but I'd like to expand on one particular point:

As Idaho moves to criminalize undercover video with 'ag-gag' law, clip of dairy worker sexually abusing cow surfaces
In Idaho, the dairy industry has successfully lobbied lawmakers to propose a new law that would make it a crime for animal rights advocates or journalists to lie about their backgrounds to applications at dairy farms, for the purpose of documenting criminal activity or animal abuse.
Striking back at this proposed legislation that would curb free speech, Los Angeles-based nonprofit Mercy for Animals today released video of a dairy worker sexually abusing a cow at Dry Creek Dairy (owned by Bettencourt Dairies) in Idaho. Read the rest

He believes that it might need to be a little more efficient, but he has zero interest in undermining the powerful, permanent factions that have run Washington."

Residents hope to be allowed to see what standards are expected from those renting property in Northfield, in order to put unofficial pressure on the city to more strictly enforce those rules already in the books.
Another group of residents has suggested a change to the rental ordinances that would limit the number of non-related adults living in rental units to two.
Currently, the city allows up to five unrelated adults to live together in a rented facility. Their proposal has not yet come before Northfield City Council.
Both Director of Residence Life Pamela McDowell and Dean of Students Greg Kneser do not think the proposal will pass or that the city will change its policy regarding rental agreements.
McDowell stressed her desire that all students on and off campus be "positive participating members of the [Northfield] community."
Chief of Northfield Police Gary Smith has noticed an increase in calls regarding behavior of both St. Olaf and Carleton students who live off campus for the last three years. Main complaints from residents include loud noise, people running around yards, alcohol and fighting.
On average, each incident receives between three and ten calls. "It depends on the neighbors," Smith said.
According to Smith, the Northfield Police Department has received an average of five calls regarding student behavior for this past Monday and Tuesday alone.
According to Smith, most of the calls the Northfield Police Department receives regard students who live off-campus in private rentals. Students who live off campus live in houses or apartments not under the college's jurisdiction. Honor houses do not fall under this category.
McDowell suggested that a general increase in St. Olaf students who live off-campus plays a big role in the increase of behavior complaints.
By the end of the 2004-05 school year, 179 students chose to live in residences not owned by the college. As of Tuesday, the number of students choosing to live off-campus for the 2005-06 year was at 206.
While 12 percent of those choosing to live off-campus live in apartments and eight percent live with parents, 80 percent choose to live in houses in largely traditional family areas around Northfield.
Both Kneser and McDowell said that a lack of response to previous complaints and the neighbors' general frustrations could have led to the increased complaints and the petition. McDowell mentioned that, in previous years, neighbors would report parties and other loud behavior to the police and the city. While students living in the house would receive warnings, few other actions would be taken.
"People are fed up from past years," McDowell said. "They weren't getting the response they wanted."
By starting the petition, neighbors of college students want to give voice to their concerns about the behavior of college students as well as express their desire for things to change.
Kneser agreed, saying, "People have absolutely no patience anymore."
With the rise of incident complaints has come an increase in citations from the police and a decrease in warnings.
"People aren't listening to warnings anymore," Kneser said.
Both McDowell and Kneser stressed that the St. Olaf administration had no part in starting the petition, and does not support the proposal to limit the number of people who can live in a rental property.
"This is certainly not something the college endorses or is supportive of," McDowell said.
Kneser concurred, saying that the city should enforce the laws already in place, not change them and risk seriously affecting Northfield's economy and the off-campus housing situation.
"It is not helpful to pass new laws if the old ones are not being enforced," Kneser said.
McDowell said that some negative economic effects would come from changing the city's rental policy, noting that housing around college campuses would immediately become too expensive for most students to afford. Because most students live in an off-campus house with five or six other people, rent is split that many ways. If the proposal should pass, monthly rent would have to be split between two people.
"There is just no way most students can afford to do that," McDowell said.
Economic repercussions are just one possible effect from the proposal's passing. Should off-campus housing be limited, Residence Life would need to find beds for those students who would want, but could not afford, to live off campus.
"That would pose quite the quandary," McDowell said, citing St. Olaf's already tight on-campus housing situation. "We would have to come up with more housing." No plans for additional housing are in the works, according to McDowell.
McDowell offers those students who live off-campus several pieces of advice to avoid strained relationships with neighbors.
"When planning a party, know who you're inviting," she said. While one house may hold 50 people, if each of those people brings two friends, the number of people present easily jumps to 150.
"There is no way to keep that quiet," she said.
McDowell also said that those attending parties need to be smart.
"If you're not invited to a house, don't go," she said.
Similarly, McDowell discourages house residents from letting groups of students "roaming" around Northfield into their house without knowing who the people are.
While she expressed doubt that the number of people living on rented property will be changed by the city, McDowell said that students living off-campus should try to build better relationships with their neighbors.
"Students need to establish that they can be good neighbors," she said, suggesting calm, quiet weekends as one way to make peace with non-student neighbors.

How far would you go to get your favorite food? A hungry flight crew testing Boeing's new 747-8 flew some 2,500 miles to get a fry-and-slaw-filled sandwich. Nom.
All the way from Seattle to Pittsburgh they traveled to ingest one from Primanti Bros., a sandwich shop who's served up the unique fare since the 1930s and had captured the love of the lead test pilot, Paul Shank, who had grown up with them. The shop delivered them straight to the airport, so the crew could eat them on their way ... right back to Seattle.
What a waste of gas and money just to feed some cravings? Yes, cried some, but beyond the original sensational headlines there's a much less excessive reason for the trip according to Boeing.
They say Pittsburgh was a scheduled stop anyway as part of their extensive testing of the jet, and the sandwiches were just a perk -- no harm, no foul. They got their sandwiches, and with press like that, Primanti Bros. may soon be able to remove the "almost" from their slogan that reads "almost famous."
Boeing says this isn't the last flight for food either as they're building some future food journeys into their reliability testing including trips to Michigan's Upper Peninsula for pasties and to Maine for lobster rolls. Hey, if you have to go somewhere, you might as well go where there's good food.
I think most of us can relate to going to such great lengths to get our favorite foods ... or at least the desire to do so. I know I can. A few dishes I would travel great distances to eat:
Caprese Salad -- I adore a good caprese salad and have tried countless ones over the years, but when I was in Napa Valley a few weeks ago, I ate the most amazing one I've ever had. The tomatoes were perfection; the homemade mozzarella was unlike any I've ever had. I have not stopped thinking about it since, and if I had a plane at my disposal I'd go back for that alone. (Okay, the wine too).
Breakfast Tacos -- I've talked about my love for these before, and how I'd move back to Austin, Texas, for Taco Shack breakfast tacos alone. If I could just fly in and pick some up once in awhile, that would work too.
Purple Chopped Salad -- I lived in Seattle for more than six years, and ate this salad more than 6 million times (approximately). From The Purple Wine Bar, it's a mix of bacon and chicken, red pepper, purple onions, cheese, lettuce, and the perfect vinaigrette. It doesn't sound that special, but it is -- as much for its good taste as the good memories I have of eating it with so many good friends while I was there.
I could go on and on, but I'm getting too hungry. In any case, we can all live vicariously through these pilots, and next time I'm in Pittsburgh, I know where I'm having lunch.
What food would you travel a great distance to eat?

My husband is a huge fan of the Primanti brother's sandwich so this does not seem strange in the least! He has only sampled the original from Pittsburgh once, but until just a few months ago there was a little Pittsburgh themed restaurant in our neighborhood (Central FL) that had an exact replica sandwich. It was a staple every Sunday for watching the Steelers games. Sadly this shop recently closed its doors. I don't know what he is going to do this football season. I wish I could fly up to the Burgh and get him his favorite sandwich whenever he has a hankering for one! What a perk!

More Allergy and Intolerance Testing Nonsense: Part 1
Recently, I commented on Hardman and Hart's recently published audit of YorkTest's IgG-guided food elimination diets and chronic medical conditions. Although the survey was sponsored by Allergy UK it is a poor study that does not provide enough detail to be able to evaluate either its conclusions or its publicity. I had hoped that the study was so self-evidently incapable of supporting swashbuckling or grandiose claims that people who profess an interest in decent science or a reputable evidence base would not over-state its significance.
YorkTest has published a summary of some of the paper's findings that make substantial claims about its significance and criticises the NHS: 10 Years of NHS treatment and still we're ill says study. I must reiterate at this point that the survey does not include any verification of the participants' claims about when they first reported the symptoms to a GP or representative of the NHS. There is no summary of medical treatments that the participants followed and whether any of them were being followed at the time of the YorkTest 113 foodSCAN guided elimination diet.
Allergy UK and YorkTest have been talking up this audit for some time. I've seen references to more than 7000 participants, 5000 participants, and for the relevant claim about unsuccessful treatment by the NHS, this is now modified further:
T[t]he findings, conducted by York University, suggest a growing dissatisfaction among patients who wasted time and money on treatment on the NHS. The study using 3219 patients and published in the February issue of Nutrition and Food Science looked at a range of mild and chronic illnesses including migraine / headache, skin symptoms, IBS, and digestive problems.Elsewhere on their site, YorkTest summarises the YorkTest 5200 Patient Survey (aka Testing Times report [pdf] which is an advance version of the journal paper).
Three months after taking a 113 foodSCAN test, we send a satisfaction questionnaire out to our customers to find out how they are getting on, what benefits they have experienced and how they felt about the test and service. This independently audited report has been produced to provide evidence that an elimination diet based on food-specific IgG results is an effective, reliable and valid aid to the management of chronic conditions. This will be published in February 2007 in the International Journal of Nutrition and Food Science.This was a perfect opportunity to disseminate all of the data that it wouldn't have been practical to include in the journal paper. Why have neither Allergy UK nor YorkTest made the full detail of this study available? According to the journal paper, the data are drawn from a questionnaire with scaled category responses, yet, according to the current claims, it now seems as if the participants were invited to complain, or spontaneously complained about their NHS treatment. However, from YorkTest's own summary it now seems as if they are referring to a "satisfaction questionnaire". Is this why there was a different version of the questionnaire? If it was YorkTest's own customer satisfaction questionnaire than why did Allergy UK pay for the audit? I'm sure that there are some straightforward explanations but all of these different descriptions make it very confusing.
Does YorkTest usually ask its customers for information about their NHS experiences? Was this question only added in for the Allergy UK-sponsored audit? What were these questions about the NHS? How were they phrased?
The paper's claims can not be substantiated or evaluated without this information. It is time to publish the questionnaires and the full data from this audit. Without the full information it is impossible to evaluate the claims that are being made and that is an unsatisfactory situation that may well lead to many mis-understandings and might mislead some desperate people. I am particularly annoyed that it seems as if somebody associated with YorkTest may be attempting to use these findings as the basis of an e-petition to have food intolerance tests made available on the NHS.
For years we have been told, "The evidence is coming. Trials are in progress" and this is what we get?

Students, friends and family are saying goodbye to a teacher Friday.
The visitation for Amanda Lawrence-Lane, a teacher at Havelock High School, was Thursday evening in La Grange. She collapsed during school in her classroom last Friday. Paramedics rushed her to the hospital where she later died. Lawrence was a teacher at Havelock High for 11 years. She taught algebra and calculus. Her funeral is also in La Grange Friday at 2 o'clock at Rouse Funeral Home.
--- Original Story ---
Community members are mourning the loss of Havelock High School teacher Amanda Lawrence-Lane, known to her students as Ms. Lawrence.
School officials say she had a medical emergency during the school day Friday, and was rushed to Carolina East Medical Center where she later died.
According to the school's website, Lawrence had been a teacher at Havelock High School since 2002. She taught Algebra and Calculus and was an ECU grad.
Community members say she will be greatly missed. Ashley Buffa, a student from Havelock High School, wrote a song called "She's Home" in honor of Lawrence.
Listen to the song here.
"I was a witness to her death, and it was heartbreaking and traumatizing. I had a lot of emotions that I didn't know how to process, and I needed to express them some how. I went home and I wrote this song. It really helped me to come to terms with everything. I hope that this song can help other people too with the deaths of loved ones," Buffa wrote on the song's description.
School officials say extra counselors will be available at the school for students on Monday.
Arrangements for Ms. Lawrence are:
Visitation: Thursday, March 28th from 6-8 pm at Rouse Funeral Home in La Grange
Funeral Services: Friday, March 29th at 2 pm at Rouse Funeral Home in La Grange

The high price of loyalty
Saturday, October 15, 2011
It's a vexing part of being a consumer in America. Companies roll out the hot deals to lure potential customers, leaving existing customers in the cold.
So what's a price-conscious consumer to do?
Calculate the "personal life hassle cost." That's University of St. Thomas business professor David Vang's term for switching costs -- the time, energy and in some cases money that it would take to go from one company to the other. Banks, insurance companies and cellphone providers know how annoying and cumbersome it is to switch from one company to another, so they "know they have some wiggle room to raise rates" before someone is likely to leave, Vang said. Companies also benefit from consumer knowledge that these introductory pricing ploys are common practice. Why go to the hassle of switching when you know the new company will hike your bill in a matter of months?
Before jumping ship, customers should estimate the time it will take to unwind from one company and take up with another. Put a dollar value on that time based loosely on your current wage. Take that number and divide it by the amount of anticipated monthly savings to determine how long it will take before you break even. Vang notes that transitions can be messy, so be sure you have enough money in savings to handle double-billing or other errors that may occur.

Cause of fire that destroyed landmark Litchfield barn remains a mystery
Because of the extensive damage to the barn at 144 Charles Bancroft Highway, the cause of the fire is still undetermined, according to Fire Chief Frank Fraitzl.
Fraitzl said the fire broke out in the storage barn around 9:30 a.m. on Friday, and that firefighters encountered heavy smoke and fire when they arrived.
"Due to the amount of fire in the building and the concern for fertilizers and pesticides within the building, firefighters concentrated efforts on protecting the surrounding buildings, which were all in close proximity to the fire building," Fraitzl said in a release.
No animals were housed inside of the barn, and no one was hurt battling the three-alarm fire.
Steve Dube, fire inspector, said he heard several explosions when he first arrived on the scene. He believes some of those explosions were from propane tanks inside of the barn.
"I heard that one vehicle was fully involved inside. It may have been a pickup truck, but that has yet to be confirmed," Dube said on Saturday, adding farm workers were able to remove many of the tractors stored inside of the barn before the structure was engulfed in flames.
The initial fire attack was to utilize a nearby hydrant, but crews quickly realized they were overpowered and did not have enough water, according to Dube, who said they promptly began a successful defensive technique until additional crews arrived.
Water from a pond across the street from the barn was used to feed tankers and a ladder truck with extra water, he said.
Once other tankers arrived on the scene, combined with the nearby fire hydrant and drafting from the pond, there was sufficient water, Dube explained.
"But they were using the water very wisely because we didn't want to run out," added Dube. "The crews did a very good job of keeping the fire from spreading to the other buildings."
Animals, including some goats, are housed in a nearby barn and were not harmed from the fire, according to fire officials. Dube said it took about two hours to get the blaze under control.
Wilson Farm has a spring plant date of April 15, according to Dube, who said the business lost some tractors and materials from the blaze. A Wilson family representative did not return a phone call seeking comment.
According to Dube, the fire does not appear suspicious. He believes it originated in the back of the two-story barn on the bottom level.
Because of the chemicals within the building, Fraitzl said air monitoring was conducted throughout the fire on Friday.
"A representative from the Southeastern Hazardous Materials District was on scene, as well as New Hampshire Department of Environmental Services whom responded and oversaw the cleanup of run off from the incident," said the chief.
A neighbor said the barn is primarily used as a workshop area and command center for the farming operations. In the winter, there is a lot of work done to restore and prepare the tractors for the upcoming farming season, he said.
Wilson Farm, which has a larger facility in Lexington, Mass., is owned by Donald Wilson, according to its website. The smaller farm and produce stand in Litchfield grows a variety of vegetables, including corn, squash, pumpkins, tomatoes and more.
The Wilson family owns about 500 acres of property in town, according to the farm's website.

PSA for the Day: Don't Buy an iPad from some dudes in the McDonalds Parking Lot!!!!
I really shouldn't have to tell you not to buy electronics in the parking lot of a fast food chain!!! But if you're considering it, or think it might be a good idea, read what happened to this woman in South Carolina trying to get a deal:
From MSNBC.com
Woman buys fake, wooden iPad for $180
— A woman at an area McDonald's thought she was getting an iPad at a bargain price, but instead she got a very expensive piece of wood.
Ashley McDowell, 22, said she was getting food at about 10 p.m. Monday when two men approached her in the parking lot. The men showed McDowell a new iPad, and told her that they had bought several of them in bulk at a good price and had them in FedEx boxes in the trunk of their car.
The men offered to sell McDowell one of the iPads for $300. She told them that she only had $180, and they agreed to sell her one for that amount.
The men gave McDowell a FedEx box. Once at home, she opened it and found a piece of wood painted black with an Apple logo on it.
McDowell said the men were in a white Chevy Impala with no rims and untinted windows. She said one of the men had a gold tooth.

I wonder if she got a splinter trying to slide unlock it?

The Pacers have finally dethroned the Miami Heat! At least they have in this week's Power Rankings. They are the first team besides the Heat to be ranked No. 1, thanks to the league's best point differential and an 11-2 record versus the West.
Power Ratings compute offensive and defensive statistics into one number for each team, while accounting for factors like recent performances and strength of schedule. Power Ratings can be used as a baseline for relative spread index to compare current or future match-ups between two teams. The relative spread does not account for non-statistical factors like home-field advantage, recent injuries, game time decisions, rivalries, publicity, and weather.

Elegant, tranquil apartment in a lively city
I am regularly in Buenos Aires for a month or more every (austral) winter; this apartment has become my preferred place to stay. By Bs As standards it is large, light and airy; it looks out to its own enchanting walled garden at the back; it is furnished in a spare, elegant style. All the systems work well, and the apartment is maintained to a very high standard of cleanliness by a cleaner who comes twice a week. It is located in the fashionable Recoleta area of the city; food stores -- both supermarkets and smaller speciality stores -- are only a block away. The street is a busy one (with an endless supply of taxis!), but the apartment is at the back of the building and so insulated from the street noise. It is a comfortable and tranquil island in a lively, exciting city. I love the place.
Exceptional location with the tranquility of an oasis in the middle of the city
I traveled with wife and two young kids to visit family and we were looking for place with a great location that would allow us to have a nice and quiet breakfast, w/o the need to coordinate and rush altogether to a hotel lobby. We also looked to have downtime between sightseeing and dinner (anything before 9:00pm would be too early for local standards). The apartment worked perfectly...no issues whatsoever. The kids love their separate space upstairs and we enjoyed the privacy of the large master bedroom. The apartment is perfectly located and within 3 to 4 blocks we got the massive public transportation (bus and metro) the city offers. The owners had thought on every little detailed; from the American and Argentine phone lines, to multiple TVs, to a well stocked kitchen. The decoration of the place is nicely done and place was very clean. I noticed that some reviews comment on the fact that there is no laundry on the apartment; don't worry, literally across the street there is a laundry mat where we dropped our stuff on the morning and it was nicely cleaned and folded by the evening. The one thing that I'd like to see for next time (I'm definitely coming back) are blinds/curtains on the bedroom...I want to sleep in when on vacation.
Overdue review, but very positive
We enjoyed our stay in Max's apartment last October but forgot to write the review. It's a great location close to a major subte stop, lots of restaurants and cafes, bakeries, small markets, etc. Walking distance to Recoleta cemetary and quite a few of the traditional tourist spots. Max takes the time to give you an orientation of the area when you first arrive and an insider's knowledge is great.

ALAMEDA , NEW MEXICO. A historic Native American and Hispanic settlement since pre-historic times.
From 1832 until the 1904 flood, this Alameda Chapel of the Immaculate Conception, later named Nativity of Mary, stood in the old plaza just north of the intersection of Rio Grande and Alameda Boulevards. Courtesy Museum of New Mexico, Negative #104662.
Alameda means a grove, or the place of trees, in this case a grove of cottonwoods.
The post - revolt Hispanic plaza of Alameda was located immediately north of the intersection of Rio Grande Boulevard and Alameda Road until 1903. At that time, destruction by floodwaters forced the church to move southeast to its present location at 4th and Alameda.
The claims of the Town of Alameda and Elena Gallegos grants posit a different course for the Rio Grande through the Alameda area in the early eighteenth century, one that ran close to hills east of the present bed. Jose Urrutia's map of 1769 placed Alameda on the east side of the Rio Grande, showing that the river changed course to its present bed sometime between 1710 and 1769 (Town of Alameda Grant: 20-21,83; Elena Gallegos Grant:3; sergeant 1987:39 44).
The church there was -dedicated to Santa Ana, according to Vetancurt, , and it was burned in the 1680 revolt (Vetancurt 1961:267). In his reminiscences, recorded in 1777, Juan Candelaria gave a post-conquest history in which Alameda was repopulated in 1702 by Tiwa Indians; they were relocated to Isleta in 1708; the town was settled by Spaniards in 1711; and construction of the church began in 1712 (Armijo 1929:276-278). In 1754, rather Jose Manual San Juan Nepomuceno y Trigo reported that the residents of Alburquerque actually lived on their farms in Alameda and only inhabited Alburquerque on Sunday (Hackett 1937:464).
A recent archeology dig near the corner of Alameda and Rio Grande Blvds. where more than 40 skeletons were recovered shows continual occupation of the area since the re-conquest to the present by Spanish settlers. It has more recently become popular with upscale housing and urban fringe activities such as hiking, bicycling and fishing. Historically the area has been the location to a Tewa pueblo named Alameda.

LOVED everything.
We - 3 moms and 3 girls 4-5 years old had an absolutely amazing time at this wonderful property for our annual Girls Week. Everything was great, I have not a single thing to complain about (save the noisy bullfrog day and night and the too tiny coffee maker!). The house is lovely... the game room a delight... the toys and beach accoutrements more than we could dream of. The sandy beach has a very gradual slope just perfect for young swimmers. We loved kayaking around the lake. We loved the fire pit. The owner provided so many tips and maps, etc and it was wonderful. We loved it all! Just awesome!
Great retreat to relax
We had a tremendous stay at the Barn. We took day trips to the aquarium in Mystic, CT., Boston, and even Maine. Doug and MaryBeth were great hosts. The home is very spacious and lots of room to roam outside. It was still a bit cool for us to use the pool, although it was open. It is very nice to have a Wal-mart close (less than 2 miles) but still be in a rural setting. Our biggest complaint would be that pictures on-line don't really do it justice. Also, MaryBeth made us a wonderful breakfast one morning. It is a great place to stay in New England.
Fantastic Cottage - Fantastic Hosts!
I cannot say enough about this wonderful home away from home! Everything you could possibly need was there. The house was beyond clean and everything (including light switches) was labeled. Bob and Val took all the guesswork out of our stay. When we arrived there were fresh flowers and even a special little gift (how thoughtful is that!). The beds were comfortable, the linens plentiful and even little things like laundry soap were provided. Thank you so much Bob and Val for sharing your lovely home with us. If you choose this home away from home, you will not be disappointed! God Bless.

A former Modesto resident can't understand why he continues to get a handicapped placard mailed to him by the California DMV. Chris Mitchell told Fox40 News that he moved from California to Missouri to Webb City, Missouri in 2006,but got a placard in the mail for a handicapped plackard which expires in 2013.
Mitchell saw the stories about the DMV discovering 56,000 dead people on it's handicapped placard list. He wonders why it also sends them to people who no longer live in the state. The placards allow handicapped people to use preferred parking spaces and not feed parking meters. The agency says it only has the resources to check deceased persons lists every other year and it's hard to their list updated.
"I thought that was strange and a waste of state money," said Mitchell, who is a stroke victim and has a handicapped placard from the state of Missouri.
"I know California is in a very bad financial situation...I would like to quit receiving the placards from California so they can keep the money," said Mitchell.
He admits that he has never sent told the DMV that he doesn't need the placards because he has been through DMV red tape before.
"I don't want to be on a deceased person list because I can imagilne it'll be hard to get off of it," said Mitchell.
The DMV sends out over 2 million handicapped license plates and placards each year, making it a clerical nightmare. On the other hand, the DMV had no trouble tracking down Mitchell's Missouri address even though he never filed a change of address form, doesn't own a car and doesn't have a driver's license.
The DMV told Fox40 that it often sends the placards to out of state addresses to accomodate Californians who work temorarily out of state, those in the armed forces for instance.
But Mitchell keeps getting the placards. Holding his placard up he said "No need to use this, and I'm not putting it on E-bay. Mitchell is an E-bay business consultant who jokes about the value of the placards. But the DMV estimates that up to a third of the people who have them are cheaters, people who aren't handicapped who use other people's placards or those sent to people who are dead.
One solution would be to have those who work temporarily in other states to get plackards from those states, but apparently the DMV wants to make it easier on Calfironia's handicapped. The California plackards are honored in other states and internationally.The DMV admits that it relies on people who get them in error to notify them and return them.

Episode 40 - "Bringing Sexy Back" - This week, we watched a Bill Condon movie about sex… except it wasn't "The Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn – Part I." It was "Kinsey," Condon's 2004 biopic about Alfred Kinsey, the Indiana University professor who dared to discuss sex in ultraconservative 1940's and 50's America. Where the latest Twilight movie treats sex carelessly, "Kinsey" treats it thoughtfully; where "J. Edgar," the movie we reviewed last week, fails to express the importance of its protagonist in American history, "Kinsey" expresses precisely why Alfred Kinsey matters. Ultimately, this little movie shows those bigger movies how it's done.
**Sorry for the delay this week. Happy belated Thanksgiving**

Burn Christmas Burn
Dear Editor,
I am 8 years old. Some of my little friends say there is no Santa Claus. Papa
says, 'If you see it in the Sun, it's so.' Please tell me the truth, is there a Santa Claus?
Virginia O'Hanlon, 115 West 95th Street
NO ONE NOTICED, of course, but last year, I did not file a column
on Christmas week. This was not because I was too busy with a long schedule of holiday merry-making.
On the contrary: As editor Jeff Koyen can attest, I actually tried to
write a column on Christmas last year. I spent three long days reading and rereading the old New
York Sun's hideous "Yes, Virginia, there is a Santa Claus" column, and tried to come up with
a satisfying counter-argument. The opening was easy enough:
Dear Virginia,
Your little friends are right. There is no Santa Claus. And not
only that, but within about five years, you'll be on your knees in a Port Authority rest room, sucking
a stranger's cock for a dollar…
The column degenerated into a string of obscenities. If I remember correctly,
the ending was something like, "Oh, and incidentally, Francis P. Church died in the arms of another
man, broke and scorned by his family." It was a really angry piece of writing. Too angry to be coherent.
At the end of the three days, I gave up and asked Koyen for a mulligan. A week later my fangs had retracted,
and I was back cheerfully offering my worthless opinions on the political issues of the day.
I hate Christmas. I hate it more than anyone in the world. Put me in a room
with the man you think is the world's biggest Christmas-hater, and within 10 minutes he'll be shining
my shoes. Christmas is the world's most compelling argument for immediate nuclear attack against
the territory of the United States. American Christmas makes heroes of Osama bin Laden, Jim Jones,
the Shining Path, the Baader-Meinhofs, Jack the Ripper and the virus that causes AIDS.
It is true that American Christmas has not yet reached the point where
it excuses the crimes of the Nazi Party. Still, even the regime of Adolf Hitler was probably too burdened
by humanity to dream up an endless loop of I Saw Mommy Kissing Santa Claus, blared over the
speakers in the escalator entrance to Bed Bath and Beyond. We are the first explorers to set foot
on this region of hell.
Commercialism is one thing, but it isn't the commercialism that really
defines Christmas in this country. After all, we expect businesses to feverishly hump the leg of
every available sentiment in an attempt to sell us their products. That's their job.
Warner Bros. and Houghton-Mifflin would really be remiss in their responsibilities
to their shareholders if, in making their vile, saccharine Tom Hanks adaptation of the totalitarian
Christmas tale The Polar Express, they did not invite every marketing rapist on
both coasts to take their turn at the body politic. It would be morally wrong for these companies
to pass up the chance to give humanity special Polar Express Brio train sets and figurines,
or Polar tees by Evy and Thunder Creek, or special sleepwear by Wormser (Polar PJs
for Polar toddlers!), or an exciting array of Polar Hallmark products (stationery,
plush giftware, albums, gift wrap, paper party goods!), or die-cut Polar book sets, or
THQ Polar interactive games, or Hasbro Polar puzzles, or special Kraft and Pepsi
Polar tie-ins and Polar Fritos and train-shaped cardboard Polar books
(suggested age range for the All Aboard the Polar Express board book: "Birth to three years")
for kids too young to move or speak or do anything but recognize primitive shapes.
Yes, shove these and more, along with a special Polar Express train set by Lionel, into every orifice of every child customer. Then, so that he can spend the holiday
season enjoying the wonders of unspoiled wilderness, give him and his family a batch of tickets
to a special Polar Express promotion on the Grand Canyon railroad, so that everyone can
experience the Christmas magic while they stare at the rocks and the river and the sand and whatever
the fuck else is out there, in the wilds of Idaho or New Jersey or whatever goddamn state the Grand
Canyon is in. Is it too late to bring in a snow machine and a bunch of billboard towers? Who owns the
rights to these cliffs?
I have no problem with this kind of thinking, none at all. Believe me,
if I worked for Warner Bros., I'd be spinning off a Polar Confessions tv show about arctic
wife-swapping and a Polar porn mag called Polar Inches for the yuletide homosexual.
No stone would be left unturned.
It would be madness to get upset. Only a lunatic hates a company for selling
things. Hate is an emotion that should be reserved for purely emotional transgressionstraitorous
passivity, for instance. What I don't get is why there's no backlash from the population. Why aren't
more mall Santas beaten to death? Why weren't there theater shootings when Jim Carrey's Lemony
Snicket movie opened? How is it that year after year passes without a single Abercrombie & Fitch set on fire?
Every year, like clockwork, nativity scenes in dozens of ass-end small
American towns are vandalized. I search for these stories every year, because they are the only
things that cheer me up in the last week leading up to Christmas. To date, this year's best came last
Monday, at a Catholic church in Knoxville, TN. According to a wire news service:
"Someone cut off the baby's head and arms and doused the stumps in red
paint. The vandal or vandals also threw the baby's head through a glass door, scrawled an upside-down
cross on Mary's robe and covered her face with paint."
Reading this, it was hard for me not to feel a tremendous kinship with
the culprit, and even a hint of professional envy. I'm pretty sure I could have thought up most of
those moves, including the upside-down cross, but why cover Mary's face with paint? Why her face?
I have no idea what that means, but I love it.
Most of these nativity desecrations are directed not specifically
at Christmas, but at God and religion in general. While this is a noble urge in itself, it really has
nothing to do with hating Christmas, an utterly irreligious phenomenon. Jesus has been dead for
almost 2000 yearswhy not throw Kathie Lee Gifford's head through a glass door?
Besides, the mere fact that we leave the only significant acts of anti-Christmas
violence in this country in the hands of a few scattered bands of spiritually confused drunken teenagers
says everything you need to know about the adult population in this country. America produces hundreds
of thousands of college graduates every year, and not one of them ever does anything to stop Christmas.
They just keep entering the workforce, keep dumping giant steel canisters of Holiday Spirit into
our reservoirs in the middle of the night on the orders of their bosses, keeping the secret to themselves,
never telling their spouses or their children the awful truth about What They Have Done.
So die, Virginia, you little bitch. Die a painful death this Christmas.
Die waiting for Santa Claus to come down that chimney. He is not coming. But I amto eat your

Projections for the next 20 years
Based on current global trends, financial, military, social, technological, etc... what are your predictions of what the next 20 years will have in store for your country, state, business, world, or all the above??
Compare what you think will happen to what you hope will happen.
The end of this conversation is drawing near. The theme of which has been very much what I thought it would be. Every one of us can pin point the problems of today that will lead us into a dismal future unless rectified. None of us here on TED has the "power" required to solve these problems. Individually we are far too powerless. Take a look at the size of this online community, there aren't very many of us. We are the people who choose to discuss, debate, and challenge each other. If our need to speak out and communicate about substantial issues was being satisfied completely in our daily lives many of us would not be registered in an online community seeking other like minded individuals who will care about the thoughts we think. An ignorant complacency has been epidemically spreading for too long and feels irreversible which makes the future seem a dark and dreary place. My optimism lies in the fact that we all get "it", we know, we understand, but in order for anything to come out of this understanding of what changes need to be made and what the end result has to be for all of us we need to buckle down and do something. I'm in no way trying to make that a personal attack statement, I don't feel as though we're all standing idly by as everything happens to us.
There were numerous comments suggesting that something big is speeding toward us, a game changer, a war, a revolution, a revelation, a...something. Whatever "it" is I just hope that we can discuss, debate, and challenge each other to become empowered individuals with answers as opposed to a list of problems.
Closing Statement from Ang Perrier
Thank you for all the contributions :)
Showing single comment thread. View the full conversation.
Joshua Bond 20+Aug 22 2013: Whatever happens over the next 20 years, it is bound to be driven by accelerated uncertainty.
Faster technology developments will continue to shift power balances, unpredictable weather patterns will affect food production, and an increasingly volatile and fragile economic system will up the ante generally.
All this will result in people becoming more scared which will drive them psychologically to behave from baser survival instincts. In turn a scared and needy population will "invite" strong leaders to emerge to sort out the mess and bring some sense of stability; however, this will come at a price - democracy.
How much people will trade in their democratic rights in order for some strong (or puppet) leader to assure them that everything will be O.K, remains to be seen - the passing of the Patriot Act after 9-11 is not a good sign.
Any wild card of some global disaster happening (mass disease, economic melt-down, catastrophic climate change) will only add impetus to the emergence of a global dictator who will seize the opportunity in the ensuing outcry and chaos (viz Russia in 1989).
That's my pessimistic view;
I also have an optimistic view. We will at last get some spiritually and psychologically mature sane leaders who are not afraid of an empowered populace but see empowerment of the masses as actually making the job of governance easier. The simple solutions that already abound to solve the world's problems will actually be implemented, rather than being side-stepped in favor of the funding the next crazy war.
Aug 23 2013: Scared people utilize baser survival instincts. A scary thought.
I find it discomfitting that what your statement reveals is that really what we are looking for in a leader is some sanity, maybe a little humanity, and someone who doesn't despise us for having the ability to think. Why is it that something like that is so rare?

Found September 14, 2013 on Pro Football Zone:
PLAYERS: Adrian Peterson, Julius Peppers
TEAMS: Minnesota Vikings, Chicago Bears
TEAMS: Minnesota Vikings, Chicago Bears
Vikings running back Adrian Peterson has been averaging 106 yards per game over the past six meeting with the Bears at Solider Field. Peterson told 1500 ESPN that it's very easy for him to gain 100 in a single game. "Every time I don't get 100 [yards], I think 'wow,'" Peterson said. "Because it's so easy to get 100." Peterson only had 93 yards rushing during last week's loss to the Lions. He expects things to be a little easier against Chicago. "[The Bears] have good D-tackles, but they're not Detroit up front," Peterson said. "Not to take anything away from those guys, Julius Peppers, they got great guys as well. We just need to go and be physical, make our presence felt." Need NFL Tickets? Loading...
