No one's done much to help the residents of James Turner Street in Birmingham, now forever rechristened Benefits Street, thanks to Channel 4's controversial new documentary series. Despite – or maybe because of – the Twitter death threats, accusations of betrayal and media uproar, which followed its first broadcast, Channel 4 has defied calls for the series to be pulled. Did it hope this second episode would change some minds?
Algeria international struggling to make an impact at the San Siro
Chris O'Hare will be coming home with nothing more tangible than a tankful of motivation, after giving it a crack in the men's 1500m final before tailing off badly on the last lap and trailing home 12th and last in 3 minutes 46.04 seconds. Still, the mere presence of the 22-year-old Borderer in a global final was further evidence of the quiet, steady revolution that has been taking place in Scottish athletics over the past two years.

Ali Kafi, who died on 16 April at the age of 84, led Algeria for two years after the 1992 military coup that aimed to stop Islamists from winning a national election. Kafi led the High Committee of State from 1992-94 during the opening years of Algeria's bloody civil war with Islamic extremists. His rule followed the assassination of Mohammed Boudiaf, who was briefly president after generals forced Chadli Benjedid to resign. The civil war lasted more than a decade and cost 200,000 lives.

This cake was made from the Wilton Giant Cupcake pan. I used a pound cake mix and didn't have any problems with the top cooking faster than the bottom as others have stated. I used a marshmallow buttercream icing, a recipe shared by a friend. I used the 1M Wilton tip.
It was my first attempt. Not the best but not horrible, I don't think anyway. I'm a bit annoyed that some of the crisco and flour from the pan stuck to the cake. Oh well.

MEXICO CITY (May 15, 2014) Two people died and seven more were injured Thursday in a gas explosion at a shopping center in Reynosa, Mexico, across the border from McAllen, the Tamaulipas state's government said
The explosion caused a portion of the Valle del Vergel shopping center to collapse, the statement said.
Authorities said an accumulation of gas caused Thursday's explosion.
Rescuers continued to search for trapped shoppers and workers.
Reynosa, an industrial city, has been the scene of gun battles between drug cartel members and federal forces in recent months.

Public banks worth pursuingOctober 25,2013
Public banks worth pursuing
The most interesting article in the Oct. 22 edition pertained to Gwen Hallsmith supporting the establishment of a state bank.
Several years ago I had read about North Dakota having established one in 1919 and the fact that it was one of the few states in the black. This was before their current oil boom.
Currently, most states deposit their money in private Wall Street banks, and we know who reaps the profits from that. If we had a state bank, these profits could be put toward projects that benefit our state. Other states are considering it.
The public banking website will give you ample information about the progress that is being made in each state toward this goal. I salute Gwen for this, but I do not live in Montpelier, so I cannot express my great displeasure to the city manager and mayor. That is up to you Montpelierites.

What Does the 'Foreclosure Crisis' Mean for You?
The Recent Fracas May Not Hit You Where You Live— But the Fallout Could Affect You in Surprising Ways
For the vast majority of homeowners, new questions about the state of foreclosures appear to be irrelevant. Few people seem to have been wrongly thrown out of their homes, and those who have been are generally months or years behind on their mortgage payments.
But the fallout from the crisis is beginning to be felt in real-estate markets across the country, particularly in places dominated by vacation homes and investment properties. Some of the worst-hit areas could be Western ski towns, because fall is the busiest time of the year for sales.
By the Numbers
- 27%
Percentage of total home sales in 2009 that were second homes.
- 30%
Percentage of total mortgage defaults attributable to second-home and investment properties.
- 4.57%
Percentage of mortgages in some state of the foreclosure process, June 2010.
- 9.4 Months
The average amount of time from default until foreclosure proceedings begin on a "jumbo" mortgage loan.
Real-estate salespeople in some of those places are worried. "September and October are usually the height of the selling-season for us," says Rich Armstrong, who owns the brokerage Rare Properties in Jackson Hole, Wyo. "Now we are seeing a number of what we call 'fence sitters,' people who would have leapt in even a month ago, but now are waiting on the sidelines."
The "foreclosure crisis" is a result of the frenzied real-estate boom and bust of the past decade. Banks made foolish loans, and borrowers signed up for them—only to default later, as the economy slumped. Banks rushed to reclaim properties, launching a record number of foreclosure proceedings.
In the past several weeks flaws have emerged in that complex process. Because of the high volume of foreclosures, the documentation supporting legal actions was prepared hastily, and some homes were seized improperly.
Yet the far bigger worry is what happens next. A frenzy of lawsuits and banks' examinations of their own practices could throw more of the millions of foreclosures of the past few years into legal jeopardy. Attorneys general in all 50 states are investigating, and plaintiffs' lawyers are working hard to perfect their legal strategies for suits on behalf of people who have been foreclosed on.
The suits might well fail. But just the threat that past foreclosure rulings might be overturned could result in collateral damage. In some places, banks are rushing foreclosed properties to market. In others, buyers are stepping back, refusing to buy foreclosed properties or "short sales"—homes sold by owners for less than the mortgage balance. In markets already beset with large inventories of foreclosed properties, the result could be a slower recovery.
Coastal markets and ski areas are feeling the most anxiety. Some already are littered with foreclosures—in part because they're dominated by second-home and investment properties. Those owners are more willing to walk away from a house that isn't their primary residence.
Foreclosure tracker RealtyTrac estimates that, nationwide, 30% to 35% of properties in foreclosure are owned by investors or were second homes. In Aspen, Colo., the figure is about 60%, says Kim McKinley, owner of McKinley Sales Real Estate in Basalt and Aspen, Colo. If foreclosure proceedings slow from here, inventory could jump, leading to price weakness later.
Other Ways the 'Foreclosure Crisis' Could Sting Homeowners
The foreclosure mess could hurt homeowners in another way: The costs of buying a home and paying off the mortgage are likely to go up, say housing experts.
The rising costs will come both during the closing and throughout the life of the loan.
At the closing, the cost of title insurance, which protects a property buyer from claims of ownership made by other people, is likely to rise, industry officials say. Title insurance is one of those annoying costs that can sneak up on a buyer during a close; premiums average around $2,000 across states, says Tim Dwyer, CEO of insurer Entitle Direct Group.
The foreclosure mess has sent insurers scrambling. One of the largest, Old Republic Title Insurance, told its agents on Oct. 1 not to issue policies on homes that have been foreclosed by GMAC Mortgage or J.P. Morgan Chase. And on Wednesday, the nation's largest title insurer, Fidelity National Financial, said lenders must vouch for the accuracy of their paperwork before it will insure properties.
Just like homeowners-insurance rates rise after a hurricane, the rates for title insurance are expected to rise, to compensate for the added risk.
The turmoil will likely lead to pricey premiums for new homeowners, says McLean, Va.-based housing economist Tom Lawler. Adds Cameron Finlay, chief economist at mortgage lender Lending-Tree.com: "Any time there is uncertainty in the market or risk implied, it follows that costs go up."
Other costs could be felt during the life of the loan. Until the current mess, servicing loans was a low-margin, high-volume business. Servicers collect mortgage payments from borrowers and send them off to mortgage holders, and if the loan gets into trouble, they manage the foreclosure. Few doubt this process will get costlier now that it is under scrutiny from regulators and the courts. That higher cost likely will show up in higher interest rates for borrowers.
Both of these higher costs also would hit homeowners who refinance their loans.
How much the costs of buying a home will rise is unknown. Mortgage industry officials say it is too soon to tell. And no one believes the costs will significantly change the price of a home. But with the housing market still weak, the uncertainty is making the prospect of buying—or selling—a home that much dicier.
—Jessica Silver-Greenberg
"We're concerned that the phantom inventory buildup will cause a more rapid and drastic drop in prices in Aspen, which is just getting started in terms of foreclosures coming to the market," says Ms. McKinley.
The timing of the foreclosure mess is especially inconvenient for ski towns, given the fall selling season.
Property owners are growing nervous. In Park City, Utah, lenders are quickly unloading foreclosed homes ahead of what could be a long, stalled foreclosure process, says Joe Trabaccone, a real-estate agent there.
On Oct. 11, for example, J.P. Morgan Chase put up for sale an 8,000-square-foot home adjacent to a private gated golf course. Mr. Trabaccone initially recommended the property be listed for $1.6 million, but Chase opted for $1.26 million. "They are offering these homes far too low just to hurry up and sell them," Mr. Trabaccone says.
Even so, it hasn't worked. A buyer made an offer and signed a contract, but then backed out.
In South Lake Tahoe, Calif., on Thursday, Freddie Mac, the big government-sponsored guarantor of mortgages, put a foreclosed home that had just been listed for sale on hold, freezing the property until paperwork could be straightened out. The foreclosure mess "seems to be filtering down and it could be an impact," says Doug Rosner, the broker who had listed the home. Three other properties in town were also frozen, another real-estate agent says.
The "sand states" of Arizona, California, Florida and Nevada are being hit as well. These areas, too, have a lot of vacation and investment properties—and a lot of foreclosures.
Robin Speronis, a real-estate broker in Cape Coral, Fla., says business had been picking up recently, with several inquiries a day—until the latest foreclosure scandal broke. Since then, she says, inquiries have shriveled to just one in the past week.
Susan Weeks, 55 years old, and her husband, Eddie, aren't optimistic. The couple had expected to retire and downsize when they bought a condo in Clermont, Fla., near Orlando, in 2007 for $192,000. Their plan was to sell their primary residence 10 minutes away and live in the condo. The trouble: They can't sell their first home.
The Weeks paid $269,000 for their three-bedroom home in 2004. The house next door, a bit larger, is listed at $185,000, Ms. Weeks says.
The couple has decided to move back to their primary home and take a renter for the condo. But while that brings in $850 a month, the Weeks take a $450-a-month hit on the condo —on top of the $2,400 a month they pay every month on their primary home.
"We're just going to wait it out," she says.
The possible foreclosure wars to come loom so largely over Florida markets that Ms. Speronis is urging condo sellers to consider any offer they get, even if it is far below asking price or what is owed on the mortgage.
Dianne Cloutier, a records supervisor in Chelmsford, Mass., had been looking for a retirement property in Cape Coral, but decided to wait because of the foreclosure mess. "It's left us on hold until we are sure the banks have legitimately foreclosed on people and that nobody can come back on us to get their property back," she says.
Foreclosures aren't the only problem. Short sales are getting more difficult to pull off, too.
In Bend, Ore., agents say buyers are avoiding short sales or even backing out of contracts because they don't want to deal with paperwork hassles or the chance of a court challenge later.
"I have some people saying 'I don't want to mess with bank-owned properties or short sales,'" says Dianne Willis, principal broker with RE/MAX Sunset Realty in Sunriver, Ore. "They're reluctant because it can be a frustrating process, especially for those who are looking to make a big move."
The short sales "can be very frustrating," adds Becky Ozrelic, of with Steve Scott Realtors in Bend. "You just have buyers waiting and waiting."
For sellers, lining up a short sale was tough even before the latest foreclosure crisis. Banks and mortgage "servicers," the outfits that process payments, already had been scrambling to handle surging workloads.
Mike and Kim Schwarz of San Jose, Calif., are coming up on the one-year mark on their short-sale saga.
The couple had acquired several investment properties over the past few years, including one in Thousand Oaks, Calif., for $751,000. After the tenants stopped paying rent, the Schwarzes couldn't cover the payments and decided to sell, Mr. Schwarz says.
They lined up a buyer in November 2009, and started working with their loan servicer on the short sale. For lenders, short sales are ugly because they guarantee a loss, but they often are preferable to a foreclosure, in which the lender is saddled with a tough-to-sell house.
The servicer, Residential Credit Solutions, took six months to process the paperwork, the Schwarzes say. Faxes and emails were sent, but nothing happened, Mr. Schwarz says.
"We typically don't hear from borrowers about long delays," says Dennis Stowe, president of Residential Credit.
The buyer walked away from the deal in June. The couple found another buyer in August, and resubmitted the short-sale paperwork. Mr. Schwarz says he has sent paperwork to Residential Credit four times since.
On Friday, Mr. Schwarz says, Residential called to tell him the short-sale paperwork looked good and the sale should close in mid-November.
Says Mr. Schwarz: "They didn't make it easy."

did exactly what I needed at a great price
I had a few reservations based on some of the reviews (and the price...the adage you get what you pay for tends to ring true). But I decided to give it a go. No problems at all. Plenty fast in my 50d - shot an airshow right when I got the cards. No trouble keeping up with RAW files being shot high speed as I tracked planes in the air. So are a good value.
Performs as advertised. Speed in my Canon 30D is sufficient for my needs. Price was lower than many comparable web sites. Took a little long to deliver to the store, but I assume Walmart does just-in-time ordering from supplier.

This is a MySQL connector for the Dart programming language. It isn't finished, but should work for most normal use. The API is getting reasonably close to where I want it to be now, so hopefully there shouldn't be too many breaking changes in the future.
It will only work in the command-line VM, not in a browser.
The changelog has now been moved to CHANGELOG.md
Create a connection pool:
var pool = new ConnectionPool(host: 'localhost', port: 3306, user: 'bob', password: 'wibble', db: 'stuff', max: 5);
Execute a query:
var results = await pool.query('select name, email from users');
Use the results: (Note: forEach is asynchronous.)
results.forEach((row) {
print('Name: ${row[0]}, email: ${row[1]}');
Or access the fields by name:
results.forEach((row) {
print('Name: ${row.name}, email: ${row.email}');
Prepare a query:
var query = await pool.prepare('insert into users (name, email, age) values (?, ?, ?)');
Execute the query:
var result = await query.execute(['Bob', 'email@example.com', 25]);
An insert query's results will be empty, but will have an id if there was an auto-increment column in the table:
print("New user's id: ${result.insertId}");
Execute a query with multiple sets of parameters:
var results = await query.executeMulti([['Bob', 'email@example.com', 25],
['Bill', 'email@example.com', 26],
['Joe', 'firstname.lastname@example.com', 37]]);
Use the list of results:
for (result in results) {
print("New user's id: ${result.insertId}");
Use a transaction:
var trans = await pool.startTransaction();
var result = await trans.query('...');
await trans.commit();
To run the examples and tests, you'll need to create a 'connection.options' file by copying 'connection.options.example' and modifying the settings.
It is released under the GPL, because it uses a modified part of mysql's include/mysql_com.h in constants.dart, which is licensed under the GPL. I would prefer to release it under the BSD Licence, but there you go.
It is named after Jocky Wilson, the late, great darts player. (Hence the lack of an 'e' in Jocky.)
Handle character sets properly? Currently defaults to UTF8 for the connection character set. Is it necessary to support anything else?
Breaking change: ConnectionPool.close() has been renamed to ConnectionPool.closeConnectionsNow. It is a dangerous method to call as it closes all connections even if they are in the middle of an operation. ConnectionPool.closeConnectionsWhenNotInUse has been added, which is much safer.
Added support for packets larger than 16 MB. ConnectionPool's constructor has a new parameter, 'maxPacketSize', which specifies the maximum packet size in bytes. Using packets larger than 16 MB is not currently particularly optimised.
Fixed some issues with authentication. In particular, errors should now be thrown when you try to connect to a server which is using an old or unsupported authentication protocol.
Added SSL connections. Pass 'useSSL: true' to ConnectionPool constructor. If server doesn't support SSL, connection will continue unsecured. You can check if the connections are secure by calling pool.getConnection().then((cnx) {print(cnx.usingSSL); cnx.release();});
Added ConnectionPool.getConnection() which returns a RetainedConnection. Useful if you need to keep a specific connection around (for example, if you need to lock tables).
Breaking change: Results no longer has a 'stream' property - it now implements Stream itself. As a result, it also no longer has a 'rows' property, or a 'toResultsList()' method - you can use 'toList()' to convert it into a list instead.
Rewritten some connection handling code to make it more robust, and so that it handles stream operations such as 'first' correctly (i.e. without hanging forever).
Change prepared statement syntax. Values must now be passed into the execute() method in an array. This change was made because otherwise prepared statements couldn't be used asynchronously correctly - if you used the same prepared query object for multiple queries 'at the same time', the wrong values could get used.

Lawyers Argue For, Against Death for Leon Davis
Testimony from earlier murder trial brought into sentencing phase; next hearing will be in November
Published: Tuesday, October 9, 2012 at 12:18 p.m.
Last Modified: Tuesday, October 9, 2012 at 12:18 p.m.
BARTOW | Convicted murderer Leon Davis Jr. scribbled notes on a yellow pad Tuesday morning as prosecutors listed the reasons he should be sentenced to death for killing two convenience store clerks in December 2007.
During Tuesday's brief hearing, Davis' lawyers presented only testimony from his previous trial and mental health records from his years in the military to support a sentence of life imprisonment.
Circuit Judge Donald Jacobsen will consider the evidence and whatever additional legal arguments the lawyers make in an upcoming hearing before deciding a sentence. That hearing will take place Nov. 2.
Jacobsen found Davis guilty last week of two counts of first-degree murder for gunning down the clerks in the parking lot of the BP convenience store on State Road 557 just south of Interstate 4 near Lake Alfred. Pravinkumar Patel, 33, and Dashrath Patel, 52, were changing the lettering on a marquee near the roadway the night they were killed.
Prosecutors said Davis was trying to rob the store, but when the front door was locked, he shot the men so they couldn't identify him.
Davis had waived his right to a jury trial in this case, leaving the decision of guilt or innocence to Jacobsen.
Davis, 34, already has spent more than a year on Florida's death row after a jury convicted him in February 2011 of fatally burning two employees during a robbery at a Lake Wales insurance office. That attack took place Dec. 13, 2007, six days after the shootings at the BP station.
Davis's killing spree at five murders — including the baby of one of the victim's who was pregnant at the time of the attack — was the worst in Polk County history.
Eyewitnesses identified Davis as the Lake Wales gunman, and crime lab testing showed the same handgun was used in each attack. Authorities never have found that gun.
On Tuesday, a Lake Wales police lieutenant testified that Yvonne Bustamante, who later would die from her burn wounds, told him Davis had attacked her.
"She said it was Leon Davis," Lt. Joe Elrod said. "She said they were binded by tape and put in a small room. He threw gas on them and set them on fire."
Bustamante, 26, died five days later. Her co-worker and sister-in-law, Juanita "Jane" Luciano, 23, who was six months pregnant, died two weeks after the attack. Doctors delivered her son prematurely the night of the attack, and he lived only three days. Davis was sentenced to life imprisonment for his murder.
Tuesday's testimony relates to other violent acts in Davis' history, which is among the list of aggravating circumstances that Assistant State Attorney Paul Wallace said support the death penalty in this case.
Bartow defense lawyer Robert Norgard submitted testimony from the Lake Wales trial from Davis' mother, sister and former girlfriend about his character and problems he's experienced in his life. Norgard also brought in records outlining mental health problems Davis had while in the U.S.
If Jacobsen does not impose the death penalty, Davis will be sentenced to life imprisonment.

Politics Larry Craig's Press Conference
posted by August 28 at 12:58 PMon
Sen. Larry Craig (R-Idablow)—excuse me, disgraced Sen. Larry Craig—will be holding a press conference in two minutes. And the fundies Craig rode in on? They're calling for his head…
"If the accusations are true, then we think that he needs to resign," Bryan Fischer, the executive director of the Idaho Values Alliance told ABCNews.com. "We believe that character is an important qualification for public service and we believe if these accounts are true, then the Senator conduct has fallen short of what we should expect from public officials."

>Brookings Oregon News, Sports, & Weather | The Curry Coastal Pilot
C&K Market Inc. is moving its administrative offices in Brookings to Medford and is taking along any of its 30 employees who want to relocate.
"No jobs are being eliminated," said company marketing manager Stacey Reynolds. "If you want to move to Medford, you have a job."
The small-town grocery firm got its start in 1956 in Brookings, but has been beleaguered by financial complications with pressure from big-box retailers that have moved into town in recent years.
The company voluntarily filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy in 2013, and began closing or selling about a third of its 60 stores and laying off 20 percent of its 2,500-person workforce.
At that time, C&K Market, represented by Portland law firm Tonkon Torp, said its liabilities were between $100 million and $500 million, while its assets ranged between $10 million and $50 million. The company was paying Tonkon Torp nearly $360,000 to navigate it through its reorganization efforts.
In July, C&K exited bankruptcy under a court order by U.S. Bankruptcy Judge Frank Alley, allowing the company to operate without court supervision.
Two years ago C&K moved its real estate, construction, training and some of its human resources closer to the Medford airport. The company already has a regional office there.
Relocating the administrative offices to Medford will make it easier for sales representatives, banking officials and others to meet with store officials.
Reynolds said store officials hope the transition will be finished by the end of the year — and the Ray's Food store here will stay.
"The store is doing great," she said. "There's no worry about losing the store at this point."
She doesn't know how many employees might be interested in relocating.
"It's a big decision for everybody," she said. "Everyone's kind of still processing it."
Reynolds admitted she's not sure of her plans.
"Everything's pretty up in the air," she said. "It's fresh news to everyone. It'll be a bit of a decision process."
In the meantime, market officials plan to update its remaining stores — 15 were closed this spring — and offer a wider selection of items for consumers.
Additionally, they will initiate a new program called Ray's Healthy Living to promote gluten-free, low-carbohydrate, low-sodium, GMO-free and other natural and organic items. Some stores will see salad bars, hot-food options and sushi.
Chief Operations Officer Karl Wissmann was on vacation and unavailable for comment.

The marketing wizards at Pixar continue their push to brand "Monsters University," the prequel to 2001's "Monsters, Inc.," as a real school with the release of two more teasers that mimic the style of collegiate ad campaigns.
Featuring cheesy soft rock and dramatic narration, the spots paint Monsters University — or MU, as it's shown emblazoned across T-shirts and hats worn by students — as an idyllic college "where legacy and tradition are the gateway to new opportunities" and "diversity, integrity, and strength" are highly valued. Typical activities like studying in the library, playing in the marching band, and relaxing on the quad are given a unique twist, as all of the students at this school either have tentacles, purple skin, or three eyeballs.
The positive school PR is a clever way to provide audiences with more peeks at the film's universe and its two protagonists, Mike and Sulley, who starred as co-workers in "Monsters, Inc." and meet for the first time in "Monsters University." While the ads don't necessarily provide much new insight about the plot of "Monsters University," the glimpses of professors teaching "Scaring 101" and students reading books entitled "Scare Tactics" are fun, and certainly ramp up excitement for the film's June 21 release.
For more on "Monsters University," check out its website, where students are urged to "Excel in the art of extreme creepiness."

Perfect Media Keyboard
I recently connected a Media PC to my big screen and needed a wireless keyboard to complete the package. I tried several keyboard and mouse combination's before settling on the IOGear Multimedia Keyboard. The IOGear is nearly perfect for use in a home media center. It has excellent range, which ruled out all the other candidates, and the simplicity of the keyboard and mouse (trackball) in one package is hard to beat. That I was able to get this product for less than 30 bucks (after rebate) when all the other combination's were 60 dollars or more was icing on the cake. The ergonomics are excellent. I probably would not want to use this configuration for all my other computing tasks, but for use on the big screen I could not imagine a better setup. Quality of construction is excellent and the keyboard installed in seconds on my Vista system. I just might have to take a look at other IOGear products to see how they stack up to this quality effort.

Utah: Still the right wing place
Our guest blogger is Auden Schendler, Executive Director for Community and Environmental Responsibility at Aspen Skiing Company. Named a "Climate Crusader" in TIME magazine's 2006 special issue on climate change, Auden once worked for Amory Lovins at Rocky Mountain Institute (as I did). You can read his full bio here.
When you drive into Utah from Colorado, there's a sign that says: "Utah: Still the Right Place." For years, the sign has been edited with red spray paint to read: "Utah, Still the Right Wing." New word from the Beehive State suggests the grafitti should remain.
Here's a report from today's Salt Lake Tribune:
Utah House passes resolution doubting climate science (02/10/2010)
The Utah House of Representatives adopted yesterday a nonbinding statement expressing deep doubts about climate change science and urging the federal government to desist from efforts to regulate carbon dioxide emissions. The resolution was passed by a 56-17 vote after the removal of references to a "climate data conspiracy" and climate change "gravy train" that were included in the original statement.Rep. Kerry Gibson (R), the sponsor of the resolution, said he believes humans have little influence over climate change and government regulation would impose staggering costs.'I'm afraid of what could happen to our economy, to our rural life, to our agriculture, if such a detrimental policy continues to be pursued for political reasons,' Gibson said.
Gibson may not know that one of the most important industries in his state is worried about the consequences of not taking policy action. Park City commissioned a third party science analysis to see what the future held for them without action on climate.
From the report Climate Change in Park City: An Assessment of Climate Snowpack, and Economic Impacts:
Our economic modeling results indicate that projected decreases in snowpack will have severe economic consequences for the region. By 2030, the estimated decrease in snowpack is estimated to result in $120.0 million in lost output. This lost output is estimated to result in an estimated 1,137 lost jobs and $20.4 million in the form of lost earnings (or labor income). By 2050, the potential impacts range from $160.4 million in lost output, $27.2 million in lost earnings, and 1,520 lost jobs (low emissions scenarios) to $392.3 million in lost output, $66.6 million in lost earnings, and 3,717 lost jobs (high emissions scenario).
More for Gibson: here's what's going to happen to agriculture, another of his concerns, without action on climate. (From the report Hotter and Drier: The West's Changed Climate, another science meta-study):
In Utah, ongoing drought has qualified most of the state for disaster relief during several years. In the summer of 2007, the U.S. Dept. of Agriculture declared 24 of 29 Utah counties primary disaster areas due to drought, wildfire and flash floods. In 2003, the USDA declared all 29 counties primary disaster areas due to drought, insect infestation, and high winds. In 2002, the amount of non-irrigated farm lands that were harvest fell by more than 30%, compared to 1997.
Being a desert, this deeply religious state is probably going to suffer more than others as the planet warms. But "where there is no vision," as the Proverbs say, "the people perish."
No people deserve the climate fate in store for Utah. But their leaders "have sown the wind, and they shall reap the whirlwind: it hath no stalk; the bud shall yield no meal." (Hosea, 8:7) Unless they are careful, Utah's leaders may end up ensuring biblical calamity for their good citizens.
JR: Let me add to Auden's post another climate-driven plague of biblical proportion hitting Utah — pestilence. Here's an excerpt from the oldest Utah newspaper, Deseret News, owned by the Mormon Church and "usually described as moderate to conservative" in a 2008 story, "Bark beetles are feasting on Utah forests":
A vicious cycle is brewing in Utah: Bark beetles are killing a lot of trees in the state. Dead trees are fuel for wildfires, which experts say contributes to global warming. And climate change is now being blamed for an increased population of bark beetles.
The Dixie National Forest bears one of the most obvious signs in Utah of the mark being left by a tiny tree predator commonly known as the bark beetle, a wood-boring insect that in large enough numbers can decimate an entire forest.
"We're talking hundreds of thousands of acres they have basically been wiped out "" pretty much the entire spruce component in the Dixie National Forest," said Colleen Keyes, forest-health program manager for Utah Division of Forestry, Fire and State Lands. "It's really something to see. You would be very surprised. It's hard to describe until you see it "" it's just dead trees as far as the eye can see."

Such anti-science legislation is an act of spitting into the wind. (polite version)
The unbelievable stupid Utah House of Representatives!
Just skied UTAH this past – Park City (Deer Valley, Park City Mountain Resort and The Canyons) as well as the incredible Alta and Sownbird! The snow is way below average this season!!!
The same can be said of Mount Tremblant in Quebec!
and yet Washington D.C. gets mind blowing 3 – 4 feet !!! These wild wacky mood swings is climate change!
and over in Whistler Canada it dumps record snowfalls on the coastal mountains in November and December 2009; and now outside Vancouver, Cypress mountain is experiencing record high temps just as the Olympics start!
Park City transformed itself from mining town to resort town 50 years ago. Over the coming 50 years how will Park City, in particular, react to climate change! How will this change affect UTAH?
The Utah House of Representatives is burying its collective mind in the sands of its deserts!
3.1415926… Just too hard to remember. So we will legislate our own definition.
Wow. The climate change debate in Utah is centered on whether to include "climate data conspiracy" in the Legislature's statement.
77% of the people in Utah are not that dumb, as this vote implies. The coal and power generation industries are big there, and state legislatures are usually even more corrupt than Congress, so I attribute it more to that than the apparent cluelessness of the population.
Here's the op-ed I just sent the Salt Lake Tribute (a similar version of which should be appearing in the Bakersfield Californian soon. We all need to speak out publicly about this!
Climate Science Stands the Test of Time
My heart sank when I learned the Utah House passed a resolution questioning climate science. There remains a large and dangerous gulf between scientists' concern about climate change and public understanding. Skeptics speak of the "scientific consensus" as though it is a consensus of opinion, when it is not. The National Academies of Science of 13 nations call for action based on a consensus of conclusions from almost 200 years of research. We ignore this knowledge at our great peril.
The concept of global warming was proposed in 1896 based upon physical principles discovered earlier in the 19th Century. The objective skepticism that is the heart of the scientific process has tested and refined this scientific understanding, and its predictions continue to be verified by observations.
Previous generations of scientists predicted that carbon dioxide emissions from burning fossil fuels were building up in the atmosphere, trapping heat, and warming the earth. That these gases trap heat is basic physics. It is why Venus is hotter than Mercury, though Mercury is closer to the sun. Air bubbles preserved in ancient ice sheets prove we have boosted carbon dioxide concentrations way beyond levels seen in the last 800,000 years. This has altered the Earth's energy balance, as documented by air and ocean temperature changes, reduction in ice mass, and increase in sea levels.
Science now predicts more dangerous and costly changes in coming decades.
The predicted rise in global average temperature by a few degrees will be accompanied by serious and painful impacts to civilization, including changes in water distribution, more forest fires, acidification of the ocean, more frequent extreme weather events, and altered distribution of pests and diseases. These changes will cause vast economic and humanitarian consequences, including mass migrations, threatening U.S. national security.
In a time in which public understanding could not be more important, we keep retreading old, disproven ideas. Claims of "no global warming in the last ten years" are deceptive creations of a temperature record starting in very hot 1998. The last decade was actually the hottest on record. And don't be fooled by claims the temperature record is influenced by urbanization around weather stations. Not only is this obvious impact measured and controlled for in our records, the largest temperature increases on earth are occurring in nonurban regions of the arctic and the Antarctic Peninsula.
Similarly, the oft-repeated claim of a scientific consensus for global cooling in the 1970s is not true. Although global cooling attracted much media attention, the vast majority of scientific research at the time continued to point toward planetary warming.
Some folks think that since Earth's temperature has fluctuated in the past, what we're seeing today is probably just another natural cycle. But of the causes of these cycles (variations in the Earth's orbit, changes in solar output, and alterations of heat-trapping gas concentrations), only the latter can explain the temperature changes we are measuring.
Since carbon dioxide stays in the atmosphere for decades, our past emissions have already committed us to more climate change. Of greatest concern that we will push the earth's climate across certain tipping points after which massive and possibly rapid change is inevitable.
Fortunately, global warming is a human caused problem, with achievable solutions. Simple changes in our habits and cost effective technologies to reduce emissions are available today.
While denial of bad news is human nature, it can be dangerous. Those who continue to deny the facts of climate science are encouraging Americans to confuse the unprecedented with the improbable, and this would be a tragic mistake with devastating consequences.
And here's a summary of climate change impacts in Utah from Governor Jon Huntsman's Blue Ribbon Advisory Council on Climate Change (2007).
There could be something in the water out here–Mayor John Hickenlooper of Denver, now running for Governor of Colorado and very progressive on climate (he wrote the forward to the fun new book "How the West was Warmed: Responding to Climate Change in the Rockies," to which I contributed) yesterday told a crowd of mining industry executives that he does not believe the "final verdict" is in on climate change, arguing that perhaps global warming is not as "catastrophic" as some may believe. This is from a guy who went to Copenhagen and who I have the utmost respect and admiration for and who gets my vote hands down despite this slip. Meanwhile, not as surprising, CO's representative Salazar joined a coal caucus to support fossil fuels in the US. This is from a guy who's rooming with his brother Ken in DC, who at Interior is placing tighter restrictions on mining and is fully on board with the President's push for clean energy, energy security, jobs and climate legislation.
Even on this excelent blog we are using the misleading term: "climate change". We should not! Words are important.
Do not mask GW reality!
The term "Climate change" was coined by people who oppose the scientific facts, gathered over decades, that the earth is warming due to our vast use of fossil fuels. It was coined by the people on the right that deny global warming and was designed to reduce social concern about this serious danger to humanity. President Bush dictated the use of this calmer term in his administration to reduce urgent requests by scientists to start reducing our emission of greenhouse gases from fossil use.
The term Global Warming, on the other hand, focuses our attention on the real situation, on the continuous increase in average global temperature. This temperature increase was measured across the globe for many years, and demonstrated to cause damages on global scale, from mass extinction of species, to rise in ocean levels, to rapid melting of ice pole and glaciers around the globe.
If we continue to use this fabricated term "climate change" we will continue to mislead the American public and lull it to even more complacency while the danger of GW is rapidly increasing.
Why am I reminded of this: Kansas Outlaws Practice of Evolution
Climate Change, Global Warming? While I do agree with you on your points Dr. Ginosar Perhaps I could shine a different light on it. Global Warming gets us into the trap of "how come it is cold out side." I have used the term "Climatic Change" when I have tried to tame "Climatic Disruption." Preferred. ( I was not aware of the Shrub connection, reason enough in itself to cease.) Being more open however allow us to incorporate "cold records" as well into the AGW argument.
Joe Sixpack has to learn that 'climate change means record amounts of bad weather' that may hurt him and his family, his livelyhood, and damage his property and raise his taxes as his governments deal with the problems. Please tell him.
Nice op-ed Andy Gunther. I might have to take some pointers from that for my next Seattle Times editorial.
Andy, I think on the paragraph on natural cycles you could have added that the rate of change in climate today far outpaces that seen in most previous natural cycles.
Dr Ginosaur, I'm pretty certain that the term 'Climate Change' was not coined by deniers, but rather by the scientific community who wanted a term that took into account that climate is changing in ways other than simple warming. For example the big dump of snow in DC this week which on the surface appears to contradict the idea that the earth is warming, but is in reality part of the same process, as warmer air holds more moisture and hence causes more violent storms.
I could be wrong about the origins of the term, but I've never heard before that it was deniers that coined it.

Route11 is a powerful C++ flow-based metaprogramming library that allows you to create and route complex dataflow systems at compile-time.
Route11 uses Template Metaprogramming to construct complex "process systems" defined by static relationships between "process primitives". A process primitive is a generic host class that inherits a "process policy". The process policy defines the specific behavior of a process primitive. The general term: "process" can refer to either one of these abstractions (I.e. "2 processes connected in series" may refer to 2 primitives, 2 systems, or one of each)
NOTE: Route11 was written using many new C++11 features, so it is required that a C++11 compatible compiler (e.g Clang or GCC) is used when building this project.
- Automatic branch synchronization
- Compile-time system routing
- Compile-time type safety
- Dynamic thread count adjustment
- Feedback loops
- High performance parallel processing
- Non-threaded platform support

I used pancake syrup (not as healthy) rather than the maple syrup called for in the recipe. The cookies are probably healthy but it seemed that the banana and peanut flavor overcame the oatmeal taste which wasn't appealing.
Over all.......Great! Deliciousness!
My first reaction was... what a strange recipe!! But these are just as you said - ooey, gooey, chocolate deliciousness!! Like eating rich, yummy, cookie dough with all the good things.. and healthy to boot!! Thanks for a great recipe!


text: 000 FXUS63 KDVN 220840 AFDDVN Area Forecast Discussion National Weather Service Quad Cities IA IL 340 AM CDT FRI JUL 22 2016 .SYNOPSIS... Issued at 330 AM CDT Fri Jul 22 2016 The latest SFC analysis was indicating a weak west-to-east boundary extending from acrs far southern SD...to along the IA/MN border. Ongoing elevated MCS was continuing to fester southward acrs southeastern IA through central IL and into western IN. Resultant large sfc cool pool was located right acrs the DVN CWA and northern half of IL ATTM. Aloft, the northern flank of broad upper ridge was tilting west-northwesterly flow from the Dakotas, through the GRT LKS and down acrs the eastern OH RVR Valley. The main upstream vort max was noted on current water vapor loop acrs NEB. && .SHORT TERM...(Today) ISSUED AT 330 AM CDT Fri Jul 22 2016 Today...Will keep sctrd to areas of showers/storms continuing acrs the southern third of so of the DVN CWA through 14 or 15z. the above mentioned Neb Vort will look to ride around the periphery of the upper ridge and elevated warm layer/cap down toward the STL area by this afternoon. Some of this lift clipping the southwestern CWA keeping elevated showers and storms festering this morning, but then diurnal processes and convergence in the cloud/precip bearing layer wanes by mid to late morning for a precip decrease. With convective debris/llvl boundaries, marginal progged mid level cap acrs eastern IA into NW IL, and the CWA looking to remain on northeastern somewhat diffluent northwest flow flank of the brunt of the upper ridge through this evening, will keep at least slight CHC POPs acrs much of the northern half or more of the CWA this afternoon for new convective development. Southerly llvl flow will increase and impinge on these areas as well. If they go, storms could be severe with damaging wind bursts and locally heavy rain the main threats again. As for the heat headlines, will keep consistent with neighboring offices and let it ride for today. But convective debris and the llvl cool pool in place will have to erode by early afternoon to even get close to criteria. Will bank on high sfc dpts of mid 70s to near 80 again to enhance local heat index readings this afternoon. .LONG TERM...(Tonight through next Thursday) ISSUED AT 330 AM CDT Fri Jul 22 2016 Little change in the synoptic pattern through Saturday night will keep the same forecast issues in place involving excessive heat and potential thunderstorm complexes. The current ring of fire synoptic pattern is expected to break down Sunday with the passage of a cold front that will return temperatures and humidity levels back closer to late July normals and perhaps a bit below by late next week. Tonight: Signals continue to suggest the potential for another MCS over especially the north and northeastern portions of the forecast area on the edge of the upper cap and have slight chances in the evening, increasing to chance pops after midnight over much of the forecast area. These would have the continued potential for at least low coverage damaging winds and heavy rainfall, which is becoming more of a flash flood threat due to the now several day string of rainfall events. Rain and associated cool pools may again impact minimum temperatures and dewpoints, potentially affecting minimum heat index values and the associated headlines. For now, have low temperatures reflecting low rain coverage, and close to the dewpoints, from the low 70s north to upper 70s south. Saturday into Sunday: MCS trends will again dictate Saturday`s high temperatures and highs from around 90 to the mid 90s are a middle of the road compromise. With the same airmass in place and moist surface conditions due to recent rains, dewpoints could again reach well into the upper 70s to around 80, leading to heat index values well above advisory criteria and potentially above the warning criteria of 110 in the afternoon. Will thus keep the current excessive heat warning going til 7 pm Saturday evening. Will need to later re-evaluate a possible extension for Saturday night and possibly into at least Sunday morning ahead of a cold front still progged to push through during the day and lower max temperatures at least a few degrees from Saturday. This front will also offer another focus for thunderstorms and have carried over slight chance pops. A nearly zonal upper flow and a westward shift of the upper high and warmest temperatures aloft will result in slightly cooler temperatures next week. A Significant upper level shortwave and weak front at the surface in the model consensus are reflected with thunderstorm chances returning around midweek. && .AVIATION...(For the 06Z TAFS through 06Z Friday Night) ISSUED AT 1125 PM CDT Thu Jul 21 2016 Mostly VFR conditions to continue with possible episodes of convection lasting into late overnight and possibly lasting well into Friday morning from ongoing convective complex. These storms could produce brief intervals of MVFR to IFR conditions in heavy rain. Have a tempo group at terminals next several hours and then VFR conditions by sunrise. Then fair skies suggested Wind generally easterly becoming southerly at 5 to 15 Kts by late afternoon. Possibly another round of convection may develop late PM into the evening hours. && .DVN Watches/Warnings/Advisories...

White Women
White Women was and still is the legendary first book by Helmut Newton, published in 1976. His inimitable blend of aestheticism, technical perfection and luxurious upper-middle-class decadence is today just as appealing and controversial as it was thirty-three years ago. White Women is a delicacy in visual erotic literature that connoisseurs and people in the know still consider to be Newton's best book ever.

NEW YORK — Unable to meet Nasdaq listing standards, better apparel producer Marisa Christina Inc. said its shares would cease trading on the exchange on Monday and move to over-the-counter trading.
"We are delisting from Nasdaq, but are not deregistering from reporting with the Securities and Exchange Commission at this time," chairman Michael Lerner said in a statement.
The company's third-quarter results reflected stockholder equity of $8 million, below the Nasdaq listing minimum of $10 million.
Shares of the firm dropped 14 cents, or 11.7 percent, to close at $1.06 Tuesday.
Losses for the three months ended Sept. 30 came to $5.8 million, or 79 cents a share. This compared with earnings of $1.1 million, or 15 cents, a year earlier. Lower sales to a private label account contributed to a 19.1 percent drop in sales to $8.4 million.
The New York-based firm is considering strategic options, including mergers, acquisitions, divestitures, recapitalizations and share repurchases.
"We will probably have more to say about them by mid-January," Lerner said during an interview.
Costs to meet the requirements of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act, which compels companies to document their safeguards against financial wrongdoings, also have been pressuring the firm, he said.
"Hundreds and hundreds of companies over the past couple of years have actually delisted [since the act took effect]," Lerner said.
Being publicly held might be one of the firm's selling points to potential bidders. A person familiar with the company's situation said a privately held company seeking to get into the public markets could do so by cutting a deal with Marisa Christina.

I've put a group of images in a horizontal list view with scroll bar e.g

image tileimage1</>

image tileimage2</>

image tileimage3</>

image tileimage4</>

ect.. for an iPad which acts as an index page for the sliding pages.
What i'm trying to achieve is when scrolling horizontally along the thumbnails I would like to show is only one active caption showing at a time e.g the
 when one of the thumbnails in the list is positioned center of the screen.
So imagine 9 thumbnails in a row and thumbnail 5 is in the center so its caption will be visible.
Hope it makes sense. Thanks in advance for any help and advice given
