181.fm Radio3.0
editor's review
181.fm Radio is a simple widget that provides quick access to a wide array of radio stations on the desktop. It is very simple to install and set up, even by users with little or no experience in software apps.
The interface of the tool is based on a small frame that you can move to any position on the screen, with the help of the mouse cursor.
With the simple click of a mouse button, you can select one of the eight preset radio stations. But you may also stop the stream and adjust the volume level with the scrollwheel button or mute it. The artist and song that are currently played are shown on top of the frame.
Two buttons are made to let users get lyrics for the current song or look it up on YouTube, but these services are no longer available, since the developer's website is not active anymore.
A few settings can be changed from the Options panel. Therefore, you can change the current channel and modify the presets. There are plenty of radio stations available, based on their genre: oldies, '80s, '90s, pop, rock, country, urban, dance/techno, easy listening, Latin/tropical, or talk/radio.
Furthermore, you can make the radio station automatically play at startup, disable scrollwheel volume control, alter the default background color, as well as choose a search engine to use. Thanks to the options provided by Windows by default, you can also make the frame stay on top of other windows, and adjust its opacity. Unfortunately, you cannot add a custom channel to the list.
The widget is very light on the system resources, using a minimal amount of CPU and RAM, thus it's not a concern to the computer's overall performance. It has a good response time and works well, without causing the OS to hang, crash or pop up error dialogs. Thanks to its overall simplicity, 181.fm Radio should please all users who are looking for a widget that lets them listen to their favorite radio stations.

If you haven't checked your FICO score (the credit score banks and lenders see) lately, you might want to later this year. The three digits that hold the key to your financial life might be a bit higher than you expect.
The Fair Isaac Corporation (FICO), creator of the FICO score, the number most widely used by banks and lenders to determine a person's creditworthiness (not the "free" consumer credit score available via many websites and services – see Top Places To Get A Free Credit Score Or Report ) is rolling out a new scoring model. Its formula offers hope to consumers whose credit reports contain certain types of negative information.
Currently, lenders are using FICO 8, a scoring model that equally factors in paid and unpaid collection-agency accounts that exceed $100. Unpaid and paid collections under $100 are already ignored in FICO 8 scoring.
Beginning in September 2014, FICO® Score 9 will be released to the three credit bureaus – Experian, TransUnion and Equifax – for them to test and validate, says Anthony Sprauve, senior consumer credit specialist, FICO and myFICO.com. Then they have to decide whether to adopt the new system, so it's not clear when (and where) the scoring changes will show up.
That new model will ignore unpaid and paid medical debt, which FICO now sees as not as indicative of whether a consumer will repay debts. It will also ignore collection accounts that have been paid.
FICO 9 also lets banks and lenders better assess the risk of consumers with limited credit history or "thin files." While developing FICO 9, data scientists classified a consumer's repayment behavior in degrees of risk instead of labeling a consumer as someone who paid or didn't pay her bills in absolute terms. Sprauve says the end result is a score with an improved ability to assess the risk of thin files.
"Once testing is completed, the credit bureaus will make FICO 9 scores available to lenders starting later this year," says Sprauve.
Lenders can decide when they want to begin using the new FICO 9 scores beginning in late 2014.
Big Potential Impact
Sprauve says there are 200 million adults in the U.S. with a credit report and FICO Score; 14% of consumers have a medical debt collection that exceeds $100; 17% of consumers have a non-medical debt collection that exceeds $100. "Those two groups are not mutually exclusive – a consumer can have both a medical and non-medical debt collection," says Sprauve.
Very few of those accounts in collection are paid. "Ten percent of all collections are paid while 90% of all collections are unpaid," he adds. "Of the unpaid collections, 53% are medical-debt–related."
The Consumer Financial Protection Bureau (CFPB) found that unpaid medical bills were disproportionately affecting consumers' credit scores. The new FICO 9 will now differentiate between collections from medical and non-medical debts, lowering the weighting medical debts have on a consumer's FICO score and potentially positively affecting millions.
"Our research shows that for consumers whose only major derogatory in their credit report is unpaid medical debt, that it is not an indicator of their inability to repay their debts. This type of unpaid item is not as negative as a regular unpaid collection would be," says Sprauve. "That's why we adjusted the algorithm."
Sprauve says the median FICO Score for consumers whose only major derogatory references are unpaid medical debts is expected to increase by 25 points. The results would be different if there are other debts, as well. "It is definitely possible that someone whose only credit blip stems from medical debt to see a bigger bump in their FICO score than someone with other credit issues combined with medical debt," says Sprauve.
Changing View of Medical Debt
FICO 9 is part of a trend in debt evaluation. "This is nothing new," says Joseph Lizio, CEO, Capital LookUp LLC, and a former commercial lender. Banks and lenders have been viewing medical debt differently from other defaults and late payments for some time.
"When a borrower (usually a business borrower) was on the fence of our minimum credit score threshold, we would go through that person's credit report to see what the cause was. If we found a low score just because of a bad medical line item, we would argue that point with our credit committee and usually get them to waive the credit score issue," says Lizio.
The thinking was that many consumers had some kind of medical past-due account on their credit histories. "This was in part due to insurance companies paying late or not at all. Thus the potential borrower was fighting both the insurance company and the medical biller as well as came about by the size of medical bills, forcing many people to get behind on their payments, much like student loans today," says Lizio.
Borrower Beware
Experts say once FICO 9 scores take hold, Americans whose scores were weighed down by medical debt should consider reapplying for loans or trying for lower interest rates on credit cards and loans than they've previously been offered.
But keep in mind that getting that higher FICO score could backfire. "There could be a downside to unexpected bump in consumers' FICO scores," says Lizio. Consumers with a new, higher score might use that score to be approved for loans or credit cards they max out but can't afford. "Removing any negative item from a credit report could raise that score, and if the raising is justified, [that's] great," says Lizio. "But it could lead to those who aren't creditworthy being approved for credit they can't handle."
The damage is likely to be limited, though. These consumers won't likely be approved for enormous mortgages, says Lizio, adding that they could get into financial trouble with smaller loans, such as auto loans or credit cards.
The Bottom Line
Whether your FICO score will rise due to the removal of medical debt or not, Lizio says that handling your score carefully is a smart move. Review each of your three credit reports annually to check for errors related to medical debt as well as other information, such as past-due accounts, balances, etc. And be sure to be mindful of your credit score. See Credit Report Alert! for more information.
Even though a higher FICO score may increase a consumer's access to additional credit, it's still the consumer's responsibility to use that credit wisely, says Lizio.

The Matrix refinanced: Changing a human being into revenuePosted by: | Comments
Jeff Bryant's alarming post at Salon details some of the financial services sector's inventive, new schemes for funding education. Wall Street already saw K-12 schools as "the last honeypot," a steady, recession-proof, government-guaranteed stream of public tax dollars just waiting to be tapped by charter schools. It first had to convince states to increase competition – meaning eliminating teachers and other public employees standing between investors and their money.
One could argue that the right's small government, low taxes mantra always had as its goal eliminating the "creeping socialism" of government providing education and other public services on a not-for-profit basis. (What, no middle-man markup?) "Starving the beast" was never about the size of government, but about eliminating public-sector competitors and making sure the right people take a percentage of vital services funded at taxpayer expense.
Since the collapse of the housing market, the giant pool of money is looking for other places to invest. So it's out with the NINA loans and the CDOs and in with the SLABS, CABS, PPPs, and ISAs. Jeff Bryant writes:
It's not hard to see the allure of SLABS [student loan asset-backed securities]. Student loans seem to be an endless stream of revenue as colleges and universities continue to increase tuition, economic conditions and employment transience feed the unemployed back into continuing education, and political leaders urge everyone to attend college. The income stream is nearly guaranteed to pay off because the loans are next to impossible to discharge in bankruptcy.
A Huffington Post article by Chris Kirkham states, SLABS offer "seemingly unlimited growth potential at virtually zero risk. The burden of college loan repayment falls entirely on students' backs, shielding corporations from the consequences of default."
Never created a job?Posted by: | Comments
Again this morning, Paul Krugman knocks down some of the right's cherished beliefs about its economic theories:
At a deeper level, modern conservative ideology utterly depends on the proposition that conservatives, and only they, possess the secret key to prosperity. As a result, you often have politicians on the right making claims like this one, from Senator Rand Paul: "When is the last time in our country we created millions of jobs? It was under Ronald Reagan."
Actually, if creating "millions of jobs" means adding two million or more jobs in a given year, we've done that 13 times since Reagan left office: eight times under Bill Clinton, twice under George W. Bush, and three times, so far, under Barack Obama. But who's counting?
After the president fact-checked his critics in Cleveland last week, Susan Crabtree of the Washington Examiner, appearing on "The Last Word," tried to tamp down his taking credit for unemployment falling to 5.5 percent, citing 30 million people who have dropped out of the workforce. Eugene Robinson would have none of it, pointing out that the Bureau of Labor Statistics figure is the "standard way that we have measured unemployment for many, many decades." When the game is not going your way, you don't get to move the goalposts. (IOKIYAR)
Krugman continues:
As a number of observers have pointed out, however, for big businesses to admit that government policies can create jobs would be to devalue one of their favorite political arguments — the claim that to achieve prosperity politicians must preserve business confidence, among other things, by refraining from any criticism of what businesspeople do.
Under "the confidence con," any criticism of these "sensitive souls" will prompt Job Creators to take their investments and go home. But there is another free-market dogma not heard much anymore, one voiced by former RNC chair Michael Steele in 2009: "Not in the history of mankind has the government ever created a job." Yet during the 2012 debate over whether the sequester would hurt the defense industry, the goalposts moved again. But worry not. Like Ah-nold, "never created a job" will be back.
Imagine a self-serving, industry-funded Sunday talk show ad:
One million workers in this country owe their cars, their homes, their kids' education, and their steady paychecks to the private-sector, free-market entrepreneurs of the American defense industry.
The Defense Industry — meeting demand for fine consumer products like the F-35 Joint Strike Fighter, the fuel-efficient M1 Abrams tank, Tomahawk cruise missiles, the new Zumwalt class guided missile destroyer, and the Hellfire-equipped Predator drone. Predator — for when you really want to reach out and touch someone.
Free Market Capitalism — because government never created a job.

Obama rocks ClevelandPosted by: | Comments
We know Cleveland rocks. But on Wednesday, President Obama visited Cleveland to rock back.
For an infuriatingly long time, he's been loathe to toot his own horn and play offense when that's just what fellow Democrats needed him to do in 2010 and 2014. Where've you been Barack? [news quote extended, bolded]:
"It was one thing for them to argue against Obamacare before it was put in place," Obama, using the nickname for his signature Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act, said during an afternoon address to the City Club of Cleveland.
"Every prediction they made about it turned out to be wrong. It's working better than even I expected. But it doesn't matter. Evidence be damned. It's still a disaster. Well, why?"
"The truth is, the budget they're putting forward and the theories they're putting forward are a path to prosperity for those who have already prospered."
Good line. Obama ticked off a number of things his opponents got wrong. Got in Republicans' faces about it even. And with a smile on his. That probably ticked off them too. It's the sort of thing Democrats are way to reluctant to do. As Drew Westen says (okay, I'm paraphrasing), if the message isn't pissing off your opponents, you're not doing it right. They'll be on the Sunday bobblehead shows any minute to wag their fingers and wring their hands over the president's "angry" words and inappropriate swagger.
It's not as if there isn't a wealth of material to work from. Perhaps the only sour note in Cleveland was Obama's continued support for the proposed Trans-Pacific Partnership trade pact opposed by critics in his own party. We'll leave that for another time.
Anyway, I sourced some of the president's Cleveland material, maybe improved on it, and added a few peeves of my own. It's the sort of thing I open carry on my smart phone for those "close encounters."
Republicans said Barack Obama's policies would produce "trillion dollar deficits for as far as the eye can see."
(Speaker John Boehner 04-18-09; NH Sen. Judd Gregg 03-17-10)

Instead, while the national debt did increase as it has every year since the Clinton budget surpluses, budget deficits shrank from $1.4 trillion when Obama took office to $483 billion in 2014.
(Washington Post 10-15-14)
Republicans said Obama's "socialist policies" would increase the size "of our already bloated government," lead us towards "national socialism," and "the country's economy is going to collapse."
(NC Rep. Robert Pittenger 01-21-15; Kansas Sen. Pat Robert 09-24-14; Rush Limbaugh 09-10-12)

Instead, federal government employment has shrunk since January 2009, "corporate profits have nearly tripled" and the stock market doubled in six years.

Republicans said if Barack Obama was reelected, "gas prices will be up at around $6.60 per gallon."
(Utah Sen. Mike Lee 03-07-12)
People believed them.
Gas prices dropped below $2 per gallon in early 2015.
(Time 01-21-15)
Republicans said Obama's policies would destroy "nearly 6 million jobs over the next decade" and lead to "diminishment of employment in America."
(John McCain campaign 10-31-08; Texas Rep. Pete Sessions 11-07-09)
People believed them.
Instead, 12 million new jobs created, more under 6 years of Obama than under 12 years of two Bushes, "the best private sector jobs creation performance in American history [that] outperformed President Reagan's in all commonly watched categories" according to Forbes.
(ElectaBlog 10-03-14; Forbes 09-05-14)
Meanwhile, "small-government, pro-business" George W. Bush presided over "the biggest federal budget expansion since Franklin Delano Roosevelt" and saw only 1.3 million net jobs created in 8 years (7 million net for Obama in 6 years). The Wall Street Journal called Bush's "the worst track record on record."
(Washington Times 10-19-08; ElectaBlog 10-03-14; Wall Street Journal 01-09-09)
Finally, for those with short memories:
Republicans said we had to invade Iraq because Saddam Hussein had stockpiles of chemical and biological weapons. We even knew where they were. We'd be out in six months, it would cost at most $60 billion, "We do not torture," etc.
People believed them.
How much longer will people believe these guys?
Commercializing Our Air Force Or Militarizing Our Commerce?Posted by: | Comments
General Atomics MQ-9 Reaper at Creech Air Force Base, NV, one of several test sites promoted by the state.
We've also discovered through intelligence that Iraq has a growing fleet of manned and unmanned aerial vehicles [UAVs] that could be used to disperse chemical and biological weapons across broad areas. We're concerned that Iraq is exploring ways of using these UAVs for missions targeting the United States. – Pres. George W. Bush, Cincinnati, OH, October 7, 2002
That was the first time many of us heard the term "unmanned aerial vehicles." Ticking off a litany of bogus reasons for invading Iraq, Bush hoped we would collectively wet our pants in fear of unmanned drones over America unleashing death from above. That was then. This is now.
'You eat what you kill'Posted by: | Comments
You know, when I saw that headline in the Guardian, I thought I was looking at a decade-late review of the 2004 Vin Diesel film, The Chronicles of Riddick. If you missed Chronicles on cable, the film's Big Bad (h/t to you Buffy fans) is a murderous group of interstellar religious fanatics called the Necromongers. They rampage across the galaxy, like ISIS in space ships, converting or killing everyone in their paths. They also "believe heavily in a philosophy that says 'you keep what you kill', believing that ending another's life entitles you to their property and position." Having screwed investors, thrown families from their homes, brought the planet to its economic knees, and demanded tribute (bailouts) lest they take us all down with them, that pretty much describes Wall Street's philosophy these days, too. Which is why, as Suzanne McGee writes, "'You eat what you kill' is the motto on many a trading desk."
What Wall Street doesn't believe in is its own bullshit, business school catechism about how in a meritocracy pay is a function of celestial mechanics that must not be perturbed lest we offend the Market gods – pay is an elegant function of one's contribution to the enterprise's bottom line. How do we know they don't believe this?
… Wall Street's profits aren't what they used to be. Pretax profits fell 4.2% in 2014 to $16 billion, according to New York's office of the state comptroller. If you think that sounds like a relatively modest decline, consider that 2014 profits were 33% below 2012 levels, and a whopping 74% below 2009, when Wall Street posted record results as markets zoomed back to life after the crisis and banks profited from ultra-low asset values and interest rates.
So what? Well, in spite of the falloff, bonuses rose for the second straight year, with "a 30.1% decline in profitability, and a 15% increase in bonus payments" in 2013, followed by a more modest 2% increase this year.
McGee explains:
Guess It Depends On What You CountPosted by: | Comments
Somwething Digby posted today is worth reposting for the North Carolina audience. FL Gov. Rick Scott's tweet yesterday (I assume) is intended to convince the uncritical reader that Florida's economy must kick California's ass. Digby notes that the same day, Bloomberg posted this:
There are plenty of reasons to presume that California must be a bad place to do business. The Tax Foundation says the state's tax structure is the third worst for business in the U.S. Forbes ranks California's business costs fifth highest among the 50 states and its regulatory environment the eighth most burdensome.
Just how burdensome, you ask? (Emphasis mine.)
The exceptional performance of California companies helps explain why (with no official gross domestic product data available yet) the state would have the world's seventh largest economy if it were a country, bigger than Brazil's, which saw its GDP decline in 2014. Here's the rough calculation: Companies based in California grew 4.7 percent during the first three quarters of last year. Using 4.7 percent as a proxy for the growth of the market capitalization of California, the total market cap of the state grew to $2.3 trillion from $2.2 trillion in 2013. (Brazil's GDP declined 1 percent from $2.25 trillion in the first three quarters of 2014 as its exports of raw materials fell.) As of March 10, 33 California companies are included in the 500 largest companies in the world. At the end of 2009, when the U.S. was recovering from the worst recession since the Great Depression, there were only 24 California companies in the Global 500, according to Bloomberg data.
As unemployment declined to 7 percent in December from a peak of 12.4 percent in 2011, California's growth was substantial enough that during the 24-month period ended Sept. 30, 2014, the jobless rate fell the most of any state. This helps explain why California remains the No. 1 state for manufacturing, producing $239 billion, or 12 percent of all manufacturing in the U.S., according to Bloomberg data. Texas is No. 2 with $233 billion.
If taxes are really the bane of California existence, why aren't they preventing rich people from making the state their primary residence? Some 123 of the world's wealthiest 400 people live in the U.S., and 28 of them, or 23 percent, are California residents, according to data compiled by Bloomberg. New York is No. 2 with 22 billionaires, or 18 percent, according to the Bloomberg Billionaire's Index.
Uh, because they've hidden so much of their wealth offshore?
NC Gov. Pat McCrory has been following the playbook of ALEC, Scott-free Walker and Sam Brownback. Consider the above next time he brags about his Carolina Comeback. Is it even a halfback?
Prosperity vs. being picked last in gym classPosted by: | Comments
Demos research associate Sean McElwee's post this week reviews economic research showing that "Democrats make the pie bigger for everyone, while Republicans redistribute income toward the rich and whites." But you already knew that. Still, McElwee's link-filled column at Aljazeera compiles a lot of supporting studies in one convenient location.
Examining changes in poverty, unemployment and income under every president since 1948, political scientists Zoltan Hajnal and Jeremy Horowitz found that blacks, Latinos and Asians fare better under Democratic presidents. But so do whites:
"Put simply: However measured, blacks made consistent gains under Democratic presidents and suffered regular losses under Republicans," the authors said. While there's limited data, the findings hold true for Latinos and Asians.
Princeton economists Alan Blinder and Mark Watson found that for the same period, "gross domestic product, employment, corporate profits and productivity grew faster under Democrats than Republicans." Income too — contrary to shrieks by Republican flacks that if their opponents are elected, Democratic Dorothys will throw buckets of water on all their beautiful wickedness.

On a more local level, US Uncut's Carl Gibson details how under governor Mark Dayton's Democratic policies have treated Minnesota. Gibson writes:
Between 2011 and 2015, Gov. Dayton added 172,000 new jobs to Minnesota's economy — that's 165,800 more jobs in Dayton's first term than Pawlenty added in both of his terms combined. Even though Minnesota's top income tax rate is the 4th-highest in the country, it has the 5th-lowest unemployment rate in the country at 3.6 percent. According to 2012-2013 U.S. census figures, Minnesotans had a median income that was $10,000 larger than the U.S. average, and their median income is still $8,000 more than the U.S. average today.
By late 2013, Minnesota's private sector job growth exceeded pre-recession levels, and the state's economy was the 5th fastest-growing in the United States. Forbes even ranked Minnesota the 9th-best state for business (Scott Walker's "Open For Business" Wisconsin came in at a distant #32 on the same list). Despite the fearmongering over businesses fleeing from Dayton's tax cuts, 6,230 more Minnesotans filed in the top income tax bracket in 2013, just one year after Dayton's tax increases went through. As of January 2015, Minnesota has a $1 billion budget surplus, and Gov. Dayton has pledged to reinvest more than one third of that money into public schools. And according to Gallup, Minnesota's economic confidence is higher than any other state
Dayton's GOP adversaries, of course, warned that billionaire Dayton's plans to raise taxes would offend "the job creators." (Luckily, there are no volcanoes in Minnesota, or the Job Creators would demand virgins.)
What caught my attention most was this from McElwee:
Similarly, in absolute terms, whites do better under Democratic than under Republican leadership. But that doesn't really matter. People weigh their well-being relative to those around them. There is strong evidence that whites often oppose actions against inequality because of "last place aversion," the desire to ensure that there is a class of people below oneself. Among white voters, racial bias is strongly correlated with lower support of redistributive programs. For example, research shows that opposition to welfare is driven by racial anger. Approximately half of the difference between social spending in the U.S. and Europe can be explained by racial animosity.
Chronic lefty complaints about working-class whites "voting against their best interests" has long set my teeth on edge. Born of frustration, it's just an intellectual-sounding way of calling them stupid, and no way to win friends and influence voters. Voters see right through it. Besides, progressives don't really want them voting what's best for No. 1. But last-place aversion (a term I've not seen before) offers an alternate explanation for why, in spite of the economic data above, many working-class whites vote Republican. President Lyndon Johnson long ago demonstrated an intuitive understanding of last-place aversion as one element of the Republicans' Southern Strategy:
If you can convince the lowest white man that he's better than the best colored man, he won't notice you're picking his pocket. Hell, give him somebody to look down on, and he'll even empty his pockets for you.
Two of McElwee's links go to Stanford studies suggesting how last-place aversion explains why, for example, "individuals making just above the minimum wage are the most likely to oppose its increase." (Last-place aversion, by the way, holds "for both whites and minorities.") It works like this (emphasis mine):
By the logic developed in the above evolutionary models, not only would humans care about relative position in general but a strong aversion to being near last place would arise because in a monogamous society with roughly balanced sex-ratios, only those at the very bottom would not marry or reproduce. Indeed, being "picked last in gym class" is so often described as a child's worst fear that the expression has become a cliché.
That explains a lot.

Charlatans and cranksPosted by: | Comments
Paul Krugman this morning smacks down three of the right's preeminent purveyors of supply-side voodoo. The column is sure to leave them fuming.
"Charlatans and cranks," Krugman suggests, invoking a phrase used by former George W. Bush chief economic adviser, Greg Mankiw. The occasion was Republican Gov. Scott Walker's appearance at a New York dinner featuring supply-siders Art Laffer (of the eponymous curve), CNBC's Larry Kudlow, and Stephen Moore, chief economist of the Heritage Foundation. Making obeisance before the high priests of bunk – like questioning climate change, evolution, and the current president's American bona fides – has become a "right" of passage for Republican presidential contenders.
Reality takes a holiday. Ideology takes precedence. Because, to riff on a song, it's all about that base. But we'll come back to Krugman later.
The New York Times also reports this morning on something I've mentioned before. The University of North Carolina's Republican-appointed Board of Governors is closing several academic enters on its campuses dedicated to studying poverty, climate, and social change. It couldn't also be about ideology, could it? The Times writes:
Stings and errors of outrageous brokersPosted by: | Comments
Nice to see Matt Taibbi back at Rolling Stone. But not so nice for the financial services industry.
Taibbi reports on a memo from Jason Furman, Chairman of President Obama's Council of Economic Advisors, detailing the stings and errors average investors fall prey to from their brokers. "The current regulatory environment," Furman explains in the document obtained by Bloomberg, "creates perverse incentives that ultimately cost savers billions of dollars a year."
"For instance," Taibbi writes, "it might surprise a lot of Americans to know that brokers handling retirement funds aren't required by law to act in the best interests of their clients." In nontechnical jargon, you might call this a "red flag." When brokers "churn" accounts, performing needless trades to rack up fees, long-term investors can lose as much as 1-3 years worth of retirement withdrawals.
Taibbi continues:
The Obama administration is proposing to fix the problem by changing the rules and imposing a fiduciary duty standard on brokers, forcing them to act in their clients' best interests. If this Labor Department proposal ever gets past the 50 yard line, expect the financial services lobby to carpet-bomb Washington with studies showing that apart from nuclear winter or inviting al-Qaeda to occupy the White House, nothing could be worse for America than forcing brokers to act in the best interests of their clients.
Bloomberg has more details.

A legitimate questionPosted by: | Comments
Thinking about the Keystone XL pipeline. Perhaps you've seen a similar scenario before. It could be General Motors or a new real estate development or Goldman Sachs or infrastructure privatization or, really, any other business with political clout. The company insists that the public financially back the venture, or pass legislation to allow it, or amend existing rules (others must abide by) to permit it, or subsidize it with public services, land, or tax breaks, or bail out its failure.
The public – voters – object, citing a multitude of reasons. Good reasons, maybe. Bad reasons, maybe. It's our community and our right to whatever we damned well please reasons. Maybe We the People simply don't like your looks or the smell of the deal.
Executives behind the proposal paint objectors as Luddites or communists or NIMBYs or tree huggers or all of the above. How dare citizens stand in the way of unbridled progress, profit, Manifest Destiny? How dare they impede job creators? ("Stand aside, everyone! I take LARGE STEPS!") Why, if the rabble don't accede to their wishes and soon, the project will be stillborn. The business model won't work! Profits and jobs and tax revenues will be lost.
Exaggeration? Of course. And so familiar.
Self-described risk-takers think it impertinent of mortals to question their assumptions, but We the People should anyway, especially when their plans impact our communities. Here is a question rarely asked and less rarely answered:
"How is the success of your business model our problem?"
File away for future use.

Arizona Cardinals
Tom Moore philosophy: 'You do what your players can do'
Tom Moore has a wealth of experience as an NFL coach.
Hired by the Arizona Cardinals as assistant head coach/offense, Moore has been helping professional offenses since 1977, including stints with seven different teams.
So what kind of system will the coaching veteran bring to his eighth organization?
A non-system, system.
"Football is a game of people," Moore said at his introductory press conference Friday. "There's lots of systems, and one of the things that you want to make sure that you do and that's what we're doing right now, you don't come in with preconceived ideas and say 'I'm Tom Moore and this is what we're going to do.'"
Moore said that type of mentality won't work.
"You've got to do what your players can do," he said. "Find out what they can do, find out what they're the best at, find out what their strengths are and then make sure that you take advantage of their strengths and maximize them."
Adding that a coach's job is to "make sure that you give your players a chance to be the very best they can be," Moore's perspective appears to be different from that of the previous coaching regime.
Gone is talk about how "the system works" or "the system is proven", and in its place is the idea that it would be best to plan around the talent on the roster.
"You do what your players can do," Moore said.
That means learning a roster full of players who struggled last season, so finding strengths, at least from a fan's perspective, may be a difficult task. But rest assured, Moore says, every player has strengths.
"You've got to play to your players' strengths," he said. "What can they do?"
Moore said at this point the coaching staff doesn't know what the players can do, so it would be "premature" to say what exactly the offensive game plan will be.
Whether this mentality and style will be enough to transform an offense that was dead last in the NFL remains to be seen, but at the very least, any change Moore and head coach Bruce Arians make probably can't hurt.
And given that Arians was hired in large part because of his track record on the offensive side of the ball, both he and Moore are expected to turn things around.
"At Indianapolis we had certain things that we felt we could do that we could take advantage of and Bruce was a very big part of that," Moore said. "We worked together for three years; he was with Peyton Manning…it wasn't a Tom Moore system, it was an Indianapolis Colts system and Bruce was very integral in that."

Like a burned-out version of Peter Parker or Jimmy Olsen, Focus' lead character Lee Mullen is a graying, overweight newspaper photographer who's run down by his job. And just as he's reaching the end of his rope, he discovers that his photographs are catching glimpses of supernatural creatures — and he can intervene. Recruited by a clandestine group known as Focus, Mullen becomes the unlikely guide that pinpoints outbreaks of demons, ghouls and who knows what else and tries to find the deeper reason for their emergence.
Based on a concept by Erik Wahlstrom, writer Zach Hunter and artist Matt Brownson are bringing Focus into the light and are aiming to use Kickstarter to help get them there. If they reach their $4,500 goal, the creators will use the funds get the book professionally lettered and go about printing a run of the comic itself. As of Friday June 8th they've accumulated only a fraction of their intended goal, but have 38 days to make up the difference.
On a website set up for Focus, the creators posted this extensive preview to entice people into the story more:

Not only is NBC planning a new host for The Tonight Show, but a new home, too – though neither will be particularly unfamiliar to viewers of late night.
Despite his present high ratings, when the show's long-running host Jay Leno's contract expires in the fall of 2014, he will be succeeded by current Late Night host Jimmy Fallon, 38, reports Thursday's The New York Times.
Furthermore, according to the paper, once the shift takes place, the program will move back to New York – the original home to the show, starting in 1954, with Steve Allen, and then, Jack Paar, as host, until 1972, when Johnny Carson (who took over in 1962) moved the show west, where it has remained ever since.
Carson, it was said, wanted access to Hollywood stars and to enjoy the California lifestyle.
Fallon's Late Night is already in New York, at NBC's Studios in Rockefeller Center – 30 Rock. The Hollywood Reporter says an official announcement will be made at the May upfronts.
The trade journal also points to a quote from Late Night executive producer Lorne Michaels in the April GQ: "I'm not allowed to say it – yet. But I think there's an inevitability to it. He's the closest to Carson that I've seen of this generation."

Social Media
The crew of the International Space Station chat with Earthbound fans during a Google+ event.
Thousands of people from around the globe participated in an extraplanetary Google+ Hangout with three orbiting NASA astronauts on Feb. 22.
The astronauts aboard the International Space Station – Commander Kevin Ford and flight engineers Tom Marshburn and Chris Hadfield – took video questions from viewers tuning in on NASA's Google+ page and YouTube channel, and fielded questions from the agency's Twitter and Facebook pages.
NASA headquarters moderated the hangout, and astronauts on the ground pitched in with video answers, too.
Via YouTube, a school classroom of girls sent this question: "Is it different when you have girls up there?" Astronauts on the ground – including one woman – said definitively that space is better with women in it. And another answer might provoke envy from deskbound workers at other agencies; the orbiting astronauts said they work out for two hours per day to stave off muscle atrophy.
NASA is no stranger to combining social media, science and space. Its Mars Curiosity rover – which famously checked into Mars on FourSquare – has more than 1.2 million Twitter followers, and is just one of more than 480 social media accounts NASA manages, according to the agency's deputy social media manager Jason Townsend.

Photographing the special moments that we all witness when we're outdoors can make the experience more meaningful and more powerful. Pictures also help us bring the outdoors indoors when we hang our favorite photos around the home. To help 'up' your photography game, consider these tips.
The Oval Pass and Eagle Pass environs of the Chelan-Sawtooth Wilderness offer visitors miles of well-graded trails, a half-dozen 8,000-foot peaks with non-technical climbing routes, and larch forests that are the color of dollar bills in spring and the color of gold in autumn.
The spousal ace had been played and he was expected to serve mother-in-law duty over the weekend. Then came a miracle and circumstances gave him a get-out-of jail-free card. The trick now: Making his wife believe the larch marathon was a misery she was lucky to miss.
Many of us intuitively sense that being outdoors keeps us healthy. We experience a sense of calm, solace, happiness, strength, or joy. An article called The Nature Cure, published in The Atlantic this month, discusses why some doctors are now prescribing time outdoors.
The Ruby Creek watershed is a maze of old roads.Most of those roads are now closed and are home to various thickets of second-growth forests. Some of the road, however, provide second-string outings for our local outdoor enthusiasts. What do we mean by this?
Rich Brinkman, a Wenatchee Valley College professor, recently completed the Pacific Crest Trail after five months of hiking. Read this article prepared by The Wenatchee World, and hear him talk in Leavenworth at 7.p.m. at the Red Barn on October 8.
Located in Okanogan County, the Pasayten Wilderness is outside our normal territory. But it's a spectacular setting and close enough to be on the bucket list of locals. It's also a place to wrestle with big questions as you let body and mind roam.
Outdoor sport enthusiasts are advised to track the different hunting seasons throughout the fall. Check this synopsis of the different seasons and dates affecting our region. And check out our clothing recommendations that deer wouldn't be caught dead in.
Although old maps show it, the trail leading up Magnet Ridge near Blewett Pass is a discontinued trail. There's no trailhead at the base, no signs along its length, and no Forest Service crews maintaining it. Seclusion is one reason to walk this ghost trail, beautiful groves of old ponderosa pines another.
Meru, the movie of climbing the unclimbed Himalayan peak of the same name, showed in Leavenworth last week. The film won the Sundance Film Festival for best documentary, but the crowd at Leavenworth was a jaded, outdoorsy one who has seen it all before. So did this film deliver?
When describing this local backpacking trip to friends as a traverse of the "Mormon Ladies Lakes", I received more than a few blank stares. Apparently the lakes along this route are named for the many wives of Brigham Young – including Edna, Mary, Margaret, Florence, Alice, and Flora. Whatever you call this route, it's a good one.
You've already done the Enchantment Lakes Traverse, so what's next as a challenging and spectacular fall-colors hike? Bill Wicheta gives an excellent alternative in this accounting of a traverse he took through the Chiwaukum Mountains a number of years ago.
Bill Wicheta talks about the multitude of mountains that make Central Washington great, the indecision that comes with that reality, and this decisively worthwhile loop hike in this seldom-traveled neck of the Icicle River Valley.
In the olden days when you wanted to hike, you grabbed a dog-eared map from the library, threw a compass in the pack, and went. Now many of us spend hours chasing the latest and greatest hardware and software to ensure that we'll have the best navigation tools. Matt Dahlgreen discusses a fast (and cheap) way to handle all your map and GPS needs on a smartphone.
A few days ago we posted on the transformations afoot at Squilchuck. Below are the details for accessing and exploring the park. Squilchuck's mountain location tends to put it above the stagnant air trapped by the Columbia River Valley, making it fresher and less smokey in summer.
These are not only some of the closest trails to the Western-themed hub of Winthrop, they are also among the least traveled. Given their proximity to town, you should saddle up the trusty steed (the two-wheeled variety) and ride on over.
Unlike many peaks of the area, Gardner Mountain has shied away from the spotlight and sits as a high, lonely, and remote outpost providing backpackers with stellar North Cascades views.
Deepen your connection to the natural world here in Central Washington by becoming a Wenatchee Naturalist. The next 50-hour course is offered through the Continuing Education Department of Wenatchee Valley College and starts September 16.
Hikers who like bagging their elevation quickly will love this hike. No dillydallying here. Furthermore, this emerald lake sitting below Labyrinth Mountain provides a brisk swim on a hot summer's day. Summer of 2015 update: Smoke is impacting many hikes in Central Washington but this lake is well-located to avoid the smoke.
The steep trail gaining the divide between Hay and Nahahum Canyons provides a unique way to get out in the foothills, in a beautiful setting that feels surprisingly remote.
Roger Gervin reports on the tricky scramble up Hawkin's Thimble, a somewhat obscure but very worthwhile summit in the Teanaway drainage.
Why go inside to climb? For starters: year round access regardless of weather, education, and to provide a social hub for the local climbing community. The Leavenworth Mountain Association is seeking your input on a future climbing gym for the greater Wenatchee Valley.
The Aviation Division of Joint Base Lewis-McChord has proposed a new mountain training area in North Central Washington. Until July 30th, the proposal is open for public comment. Update: JBLM Contact detail are now updated as of July 26th.

DJ Prism's first track was "Every Time", dating from October 1996, and Prism produced many happy hardcore tracks between then and the end of 1998, including "Your Smile", "Reaction One" and "Voyage To Pluto". Prism then took a break from the hardcore scene, and returned in 2001 producing as Dreamworld.
The Prism name returned in 2006 with two new tracks, "Hosepipe" and "Retrostock", and then in 2007 with tenth anniversary remixes of "Reaction One" and "Your Smile". Since then, Prism has continued producing and has released new material on BDW Rekordings as well as Toucan Music.

We're celebrating Netlabel Day 2015 with 2 new releases, out now and currently available exclusively via the Netlabel Day site and Internet Archive.

Stayed here for two nights in July 2013. Had to wait 15 minutes to check in as the receptionist was delivering meal orders to rooms. Allocated room 201. Bed squeaking, cause: missing the wheels on the middle castor. Swapped with castor from single bed. Bathroom has a flat floor and curtain - water seeps across the floor from the shower - makes a mess. Chairs/furniture grubby, old and tired. Windows dirty and inside fly-screen broken. Fridge has a glass door - turned off the fridge at night to eliminate the light. Air conditioning noisy when run at night. The switch for the elevator on floor two was falling off.
On the positive side, accommodation is close to the Children's and Royal Melbourne Hospitals. Staff were in general friendly and helpful. One waitress was not. Breakfast @ $15 for two was quite reasonable.

Hurble says 'I am the captain of the merchant airship you see behind me. Two days ago I set sail from Erudin on my way to Felwithe with a shipment of spell books. As I approached the Buried Sea, strong winds beset my airship and carried me all the way here, and eventually forced me to make an emergency landing. That is not the [worst part] though.'
You say, 'What's the worst part?'
Hurble says 'The shipment of spell books I was carrying have sprung to life! It's the darndest thing I have ever seen! I need someone to [take care] of this mess. My crew fled into the icy wastes once the books started flying around, so I have no one else to help me.'
You say, 'I will take care of it'
Hurble says 'Um, something else you may need to know. I may have, um, stolen a particularly powerful spell book from a rather cantankerous wizard. When we crashed here, the other spell books ripped the mysterious tome to shreds, eating some very important pages. I need to get those pages back.'
You have been assigned the task 'This Can't Be Good!'.

Fiat Industrial and CNH Global have announced Massimiliano "Max" Chiara as the new Chief Financial Officer of both companies.
The appointment of Chiara follows the recent resignation of Pablo Di Di, who left to pursue other interests.

"Max has demonstrated an exceptional level of engagement and know-how in the various positions he has held within the Fiat world," said Sergio Marchionne, Chairman of Fiat Industrial and CNH, in a prepared statement.

The discussion regarding Larsa Banquet Hall and its Amethyst Way neighbors, who have filed noise complaints against the center, will be reprised at both the City of Turlock and Stanislaus County Planning Commission meetings on Thursday.
The Korean War aged cannon that has stood watch over the corner of North Palm and Canal Drive in front of Turlock's War Memorial building was removed from its current location on Monday as a result of the City of Turlock's sale of the 900 N. Palm Avenue properties to the Turlock Irrigation District.
It's not every day that local, state, and federal legislators convene in the same room, but on Thursday locals will have the opportunity to interface with their elected leaders at the fourth annual Turlock Government Night.
After taking its solid waste to Merced for nearly two years, the City of Turlock is returning its trash dumping services to Stanislaus County which is posing a relatively small fee hike for customers.
A question of how public should public information be colored the conversation at the Turlock City Council meeting Tuesday night. Members were divided over whether the winding down of the Turlock Chamber of Commerce's contract to operate the Convention and Visitors Bureau was worthy of the public meeting just yet.
After months of negotiations, the City of Turlock has reached an agreement with Stanislaus County for solid waste disposal that the Turlock City Council will consider ratifying on Tuesday.
Tuesday marks Mayor Gary Soiseth's 100th day in office, but he has yet to have his official photo taken to hang in the Yosemite Board Room where the Turlock City Council convenes. While Soiseth stated he is more focused on policy than having his photograph taken, he said it will eventually happen, though perhaps when he is less tired.
The City of Turlock is alleging that the Turlock Chamber of Commerce spent $241,297.07 of taxpayer dollars on items not permitted under the Convention and Visitors Bureau contract, an agreement the Chamber has executed for the past 24 years.
Tuesday marked the end of Turlock Mayor Gary Soiseth's workshop series dedicated to reviewing City services as part of his 100-day commitment.
There will be a new skate park at Donnelly Park in upcoming months if the Turlock City Council approves an agreement with a Santa Cruz based consulting firm for design and construction elements Tuesday night.
It could become more difficult for fast food restaurants to set up shop near downtown Turlock as the Planning Commission will be revisiting permitting requirements for the eateries at their next meeting.
Four years and 18 public workshops later and the City of Turlock has repealed and replaced its Zoning Ordinance.
California Gov. Jerry Brown's executive order that mandates communities across California reduce their water usage by 25 percent has proven not enough for the City of Turlock.
Mobile food vendors are officially not permitted in Turlock's downtown core as the City Council unanimously voted to prohibit them Tuesday evening.
Californians are not fishing, despite the fact that the state boasts over 4,000 lakes and reservoirs, thousands of rivers and streams and an extensive coastline.

DULUTH - With the start of a new season came high expectations for the Shiloh Generals and they were met with a dominant first half effort in its 21-6 win over Duluth on Friday night.Shiloh head coach Keith Wilkes was pleased with his team's effort. "Overall, I am satisfied but we still made too many mistakes, the defense played well the whole game," Wilkes said. The mistakes Wilkes referred to were five illegal procedure penalties that set the Generals back in the first half. The Generals broke a scoreless tie in the final minute of the opening period when quarterback Mark Wright found running back Eugene Glenn on a 45-yard pass that gave Shiloh 7-0 lead. Duluth was unable to move the ball much as it struggled on the ground early. After showing some offensive continuity, the Wildcats' drive ended when a fumble by tight end Hamilton Garner gave the ball to Shiloh at its own 20. Garner redeemed himself by blocking a Shiloh punt on the ensuing possession but the Generals were able to advance the ball and convert it for a first down because the ball was behind the line of scrimmage when Shiloh recovered it. Shiloh took full advantage and converted the broken play into points later in the possession when Glenn, who had 128 rushing yards on 11 carries, ran and spun through tacklers to score on a 30-yard run, giving his team a 14-0 lead heading into the half. Neither team scored in a quick third quarter, both unable to sustain any offensive drives. However Shiloh put the game away when running back Samuel Muse, who ran for 78 yards on 15 carries, scored from four yards out to give Shiloh a 21-0 lead. "We are just trying to gain confidence; it's all about gaining confidence with our team, we've just got to keep gaining momentum each week," Wilkes said. Shiloh's defense stymied Duluth, not allowing the Wildcats to run a play in Shiloh territory until quarterback Alex Fragoso connected with running back Matt Gagich on a 42-yard reception with 4:20 left in the game. Shiloh will take on Mt. Zion next weekend, while Duluth will battle Meadowcreek. Shiloh 21, Duluth 6 1Q 2Q 3Q 4Q Final Shiloh 7 7 0 7 - 21 Duluth 0 0 0 6 - 6 FIRST QUARTER Shiloh: Eugene Glenn 45 pass from Mark Wright (Cooper Davis kick) :35 SECOND QUARTER Shiloh: Glenn 30 run (Davis kick) 4:23 THIRD QUARTER None FOURTH QUARTER Shiloh: Samuel Muse 4 run (Davis kick) 5:20 Duluth: Quinton Cobb 5 run (kick blocked) 3:15

Lemon Essential Oil: Our Lemon essential oil smells like a fresh sliced lemon without that cleaning product note that so many lemon oils have. Lemon is thought to help with concentration and to reduce cellulite when used in body oils and scrubs. This highly astringent oil helps oily skin and hair and is often added to facial cleansers and hair tonics. As with most cold pressed citrus oils the lemon scent does not stick well in CP soap.
Warning: Strong Photo Sensitizer - should not be used in lip balms.
Distillation Method: Cold Pressed Country of Origin:USA Part: Outer peel Botanical name: Citrus Limon Edible: Yes
NOTE: This low-flashpoint oil (118º F) will ship Ground Only, regardless of the shipping method you choose at checkout. It cannot ship outside the lower 48 U.S. states or USPS.

Terah from Bramble Berry replies...Hi Lia! I'm so glad you love our Lemon Essential Oil! Though we do not recommend ingesting any of our products. While some of our products are technically food (oils, salts, butters, etc...), they are stored in a warehouse that is not considered 'food-safe' by the FDA. Also, our employees are not required to follow food-safe standards.
Reply from Bramble Berry
Hi Cindy, thanks for your feedback regarding this fragrance. In general, we recommend .5 ounces fragrance oil per pound of melt and pour base, but if this was not strong enough you can add a little more to suit your preference. If you are interested in another lemon scent all together, I would recommend the
Sweet Meyer Lemon Fragrance Oil,or the Lemon Verbena Yankee Type Fragrance Oil.
"Thank you for your prompt response. Bramble Berry has the best customer service of any company I know of. Pass the word!" -Rene

Dawn Burkholder, owner of Dawn's Original Grooming, a pet-grooming business in Thomson, agreed.
"This is going to be a good thing," she said during a telephone interview with The Washington Times. "I think it's going to create a lot of little jobs that are behind the scenes that we don't see."
Neither woman expressed any fears about safety.
"I'm not concerned," Ms. Burkholder said. "I think the federal government will take care of that."

Dental ImplantsA: Both bridges and partial dentures replace missing teeth. A bridge is permanently attached to abutment teeth or, in some cases, implants. A partial denture is attached by clasps to the teeth and is easily removed by the patient. Patients are usually more satisfied with bridges than with partial dentures.
Tooth WhiteningFor insured patients, this can be applied to any current or future uncovered treatment, percentage co-payment, or deductible as if cash. Often used by those with no other needs to purchase a Professional Strength Whitening kit for $89.00
Cosmetic Dentistry
General Dentistry
Root Canal TreatmentA: No. While most teeth which have had root canal treatments do need crowns to strengthen the teeth and to return the teeth to normal form and function, not every tooth needing a crown also needs to have a root canal.
DenturesFor those patient wishing their first denture or replacement dentures, the doctor likes to review the situation and determine the correct treatment before quoting a cost or committing to treatment.
Teeth Cleaning
Fluoride Treatment
CrownsA: These are restorations to repair a severely broken tooth by covering all or most of the tooth after removing old fillings, fractured tooth structure, and all decay. The restoration material is made of gold, porcelain, composites, or even stainless steel. Dentists refer to all of these restorations as "crowns". However, patients often refer to the tooth-colored ones as "caps" and the gold or stainless steel ones as "crowns".

The Lost Art of the Spoken Word. ~ Jen McKelvie
Making Words Sound like Music:
Watching his body move with the ebb and flow of his words I am reminded of the power of spoken language.
Visions of old storytellers weaving cultural histories like magic protective cloaks for tribes and neighborhoods dance across my eyes. I can hear the oral histories taking root and growing stronger with each rendition told around a fire, kitchen table, while being rocked to sleep.
We have shifted with the onslaught of books, computers and phones from a culture of active talking to a culture of passive talking. Storytelling has lost its verbal flair. Our bodies no longer pulse with the formation of words birthed from the mists of our brains and coursing through our veins to be pushed from our mouths uncontrollably.
It takes passion and guts to publicly display your words and even more gumption to stand in front of others and let the sounds fly, let your movements be consumed by the noise and the pause. Allowing others to feel the wind of your words, releasing ownership and giving freedom to the syllables, so they become our words and we all pulse under their charm, feeling the deepness of each rhyme, pause and release.
Jen McKelvie lives and works on the island of Manhattan, the first place she has ever been happy to return to after time away. Her soul flies highest when she is wandering the streets laughing too loudly with best friends. She loves yoga, her dog and green juice.You can connect with Jen @jenny_jump_up or here: jmckelvie.com.

I'm saying the tooth shape is different, as if RR and Traxxas use different pressure angles.
After running in the tranny on a work bench, things improved some, but it is no where near as butter smooth as with all traxxas plastic gears.
