Tomorrow bald and golden eagles will sleep less soundly. On January 8 the Fish and Wildlife Service's new rule revising the regulations for permits for the taking of golden eagles and bald eagles goes into effect. According to the FWS, "This change will facilitate the responsible development of renewable energy and other projects designed to operate for decades, while continuing to protect eagles consistent with our statutory mandates."
Eagles and other migratory birds are a substantial threat to wind projects and not because they will cause turbine blades to fail. Rather, turbine blades (and to a lesser extent, towers, guy wires, transmission lines and other constructions in the air space) can be lethal to birds. This poses a serious problem for wind energy companies as birds are legally protected by the Migratory Bird Treaty Act (16 U.S.C. §§ 703-712) and eagles further protected by the Bald and Golden Eagle Protection Act (16 USC §§ 668-668d).
Duke Energy Renewables, Inc. recently ran afoul of these requirements at its 176 turbine Campbell Hill and Top of the World wind projects in Wyoming, where at least 14 golden eagles died between 2009 and 2013. In November Duke accepted a plea agreement in "the first ever criminal enforcement of the Migratory Bird Treaty Act for unpermitted avian takings at wind projects." It included:
The last is directly tied to tomorrow's rule. "Take" is defined in the regulations as "pursue, shoot, shoot at, poison, wound, kill, capture, trap, collect, destroy, molest, or disturb." 50 CFR § 22.3. "Programmatic take" is "take that is recurring, is not caused solely by indirect effects, and that occurs over the long term or in a location or locations that cannot be specifically identified." Id. The regulations at 50 CFR § 22.26 provide for permits to take bald eagles and golden eagles when the taking is associated with, but not the purpose of, an otherwise lawful activity. Programmatic permits authorize take that "is unavoidable even though advanced conservation practices are being implemented." The new rule commentary notes that permits may authorize "lethal take … such as mortalities caused by collisions with wind turbines, powerline electrocutions, and other potential sources of incidental take."
Under the current rule, a take permit was good for only 5 years, which inserted much uncertainty into wind farm projects. The new rule permits wind energy developers to obtain a take permit that runs for 30 years, 50 CFR § 22.26(i), which "better correspond[s] to the operational timeframe of renewable energy projects." The risk that a wind project will cause unforeseen harm to eagles during this much longer period is mitigated by a new requirement for 5 year reviews, in which the FWS "will determine if trigger points specified in the permit have been reached that would indicate that additional conservation measures ... should be implemented to potentially reduce eagle mortalities, or if additional mitigation measures are needed." Id. at § 22.26(h). Additional actions that might be taken as the result of the review could be permit changes, including implementation of additional conservation measures and updating of monitoring requirements. Id. Even suspension or revocation of the permit is possible. Id.
That the FWS is serious about protecting eagles is demonstrated by the enforcement action against Duke. But the FWS also recognizes that development is necessary. The 30 year permit period appears to be a reasonable compromise (unless one is an eagle).

401Kill Lyrics
Artist: Rise Against
Album: The Unraveling
as I watch your life go up in flames
you'll swear up and down you'd like to change
but when the sun sinks slowly into the sky
now you're right where you started again
with nothing to say
without an argument or case
and when it's said and done
and done and said
and now what's another day?
I can feel these changes right before my eyes
I see a dying fire inside your eyes
when will you stop and realize the worth and value of your life?
as you suffocate yourself within this mindless 9-5
wake up!
there's more!
and your life is nobody's but yours
and now it's said and done
and done and said
and now what's another day?
you're running circles around my slow pace
you've reached the finish line
only to realize there was no race
I'm sick of being stepped on for the things I choose
I give and take and now I've taken all I could

Pluralism and Perfectionism in Private Law
Hanoch Dagan
Tel Aviv University - Buchmann Faculty of Law
June 20, 2011
Many private law scholars strive to divine broad unified normative theories of property, contracts, torts, and restitution (or, at times, even of private law as a whole). These monist accounts suggest that one regulative principle guides the various doctrines of these complex legal fields or that, even if more than one value shapes a given field, there is one particular balance of such values that guides the entire terrain. Notwithstanding the intuitive appeal of such structural monism, this Essay calls for a pluralist turn in private law theory and argues that a structurally pluralist and moderately perfectionist understanding provides a better account of private law generally and of property law more particularly. The multiplicity and complexity implied in such an understanding are also normatively valuable for liberal private law and should facilitate a variety of social spheres embodying different modes of valuation.

Pictures of Greenway
a Historic Building in the town of Galmpton, in the county of Devon
About Greenway
The house called Greenway sitting serenely in attractive countryside has been an important Devon home for centuries, during which time there has been a long line of illustrious inhabitants since the first house was built here late in the 15th-century. It was then the home of the Gilbert family who lived in it for just over one hundred years. The Roopes bought it in 1700, and remained for almost a hundred years, and from then on the fortunes of the house fluctuated as it passed through several owners. But oddly, the garden was always greatly loved by most of them, and it is the contribution of centuries of enthusiastic gardeners that has made Greenway the stunning place it is today.
Please upload your photos of Greenway or see below for towns & villages near Greenway and a list of other nearby attractions to visit.

The San Diego Chargers didn't look overly impressive against the Seattle Seahawks last week, and there weren't too many positives to be taken out of their second preseason game, as they lost 33-28 to the Chicago Bears.
The first half was very painful to watch, but Charger fans have grown accustomed to witnessing this style of play over the last few years.
Head coach Mike McCoy must begin to hold this roster accountable for their mistakes, as discipline has been lacking for too long.
Thankfully, the preseason is nothing more than a televised scrimmage to feed the cravings of our football-frenzy culture, but the Chargers must show some semblence of becoming a team rather than a group of individuals playing in the same uniform. Here are five things we've learned:
1) Mistakes...Mistakes...Mistakes
Where do you begin: Is it the amount of pentration the Bears' defensive front had into the backfeld all evening or is it committing four turnovers in the first 25 minutes of the contest? No, it has to be that quarterback Philip Rivers didn't complete a single pass to his wide receiver corps. Not good signs for the regular season, as the Chargers must gain some chemistry on the field. McCoy may need to simplify his game plan, in order for his team to gain some confidence in their play.
2) Special Teams, Where Are You
You expected a transitional period, as a new special teams coach was implementing a different philosophy, while dealing with an abundance of players on the roster that have very little NFL experience. But, this unit's performance against the Bears got ugly fast.
Collectively, they gave up too many return yards, as Devin Hester ran straight through them often untouched. Richard Goodman looked horrible returning kicks, and he may have to show more to make this year's roster.
Rookie Keenan Allen muffed a punt return and looked tenative running all evening. Special teams have become such an issue that the coaching staff must come up with a remedy before next week's game in Arizona.
3) The Offensive Line is a Mess
Let's cut to the chase, the offensive line must better pass protect or the Chargers will fight the Oakland Raiders for last place in the AFC West. Rivers was under-seige all night by a Bears pass rush that didn't include defensive end Julius Peppers in the starting lineup. This unit must come together as one or it will be long year for all.
You can pencil in King Dunlap for the starting left tackle position, as Max Starks has been a disappointment for the second consecutive week. He looked slow, lethargic and out-of-shape all throughout training camp. Speed pass-rushers have easily gone around him to put immediate pressure on the qurterback.
4) Will Real Ryan Mathews Please Stand Up
The lone bright spot for the Chargers in an otherwise disappointing night was the way running back Ryan Mathews ran (9 carries for 45 yards in limited time) with a purpose against a perennially-tough Bears defense.
Unfortunately, Charger fans patiently wait for the other shoe to fall, as Mathews is prone to injuring himself in competition. No question that Mathews has the talent to become a force in the NFL, but he must stay healthy for an entire season before gaining any fan support.
5) Where Have All The Wide Receivers Gone
Everyone in Charger Land breathed a sigh of relief when it was announced that a second opinion on wide receiver Malcolm Floyd's injured knee revealed no structural damage. No timetable has been set for his return to the starting lineup, but Floyd's contributions will be missed if he cannot start the regular season on time. Floyd must be productive in the passing game if the Chargers are going to have a winning record this year.
The team's front office should be more concern with rookie wide receiver Keenan Allen leavng practice this week due to problems with his surgically-repaired left knee. The Chargers' training staff cannot determine whether or not this is a new injury or an aggravation of the inury that occured last fall. Any prolonged absence by Allen from the lineup could force the Chargers to look for reinforcements on the free agent market.

Penny Lane, in Mossley Hill inspired the song written by The Beatles. The barber shop still remains as does the iconic bus waiting rooms now sadly a closed bistro. It's a leafy suburb and has a railway station on the Liverpool to London line.

Kids loved it...! Easy enough for them to make - and it was "their creation"! :) Thanks for posting!
Huge hit!! I used milk chocolate, since that's what I make s'mores with. I was concerned that this didn't make the quantity I expected, but it was so rich that was OK. Next time, I might try to use the grahams whole and spread chocolate on top, just to keep people cleaner. Thanks for posting!
Very easy, very tasty. Added it to my goodie baskets this year.

All Bed & Breakfasts/Inns are unique by design; in fact, it is that unique quality that separates one Bed & Breakfast/Inn (B & B/Inn) from the next. Innkeepers invest their energy and capital over time to create a welcoming and hospitable environment that is unique to their community and valued guests. While the charm and ambiance of an inn add to a patron's experience, such intangibles have only an indirect effect on the actual value.
An Inn's commercial market value will ultimately be determined by evaluating the values of the real estate, cash flow, good will and sometimes furniture, fixtures and equipment (FF&E). It is important that you are comfortable with this value before making an Offer to Purchase or a Contract of Sale. Realtors who specialize in marketing and selling Bed & Breakfasts/Inns have access to comparable sales data and property specific financial information that should support the asking price and may be made available to "Qualified Buyers". An accountant or qualified industry consultant's services should be used to analyze the financial data to be sure that income from the property can support the debt service relative to the down payment and your investment objectives.
The Contract of Sale is the controlling document in a purchase and should reflect terms that are practical relative to the down payment and the financing terms for which you are best qualified. The value of the business's "Good Will" and FF&E may be assigned separate values from the real estate in the Contract of Sale. Try to avoid this if possible as loan programs that accommodate financing anything other than real estate are less flexible and sometimes difficult to obtain. It is always a good idea to consult with a knowledgeable lender before entering into a Contract of Sale, since a lender who is familiar with bed & breakfast properties can pre-qualify you specifically to the property you have identified.
Most Contracts of Sale contain a mortgage contingency clause of 30 to 45 days, the exception being cash transactions, 1031 exchanges of equal value or sales where the seller has agreed to be the primary lender. The contract will also contain inspection clauses for items such as insect infestation, plumbing, HVAC, electrical and the structural integrity of the building(s). During this 'due-diligence period,' it is also common to incur attorney fees, survey fees and title fees. It is therefore important to note, that should the appraised value be determined to be less than the contract sale price, the appraised value will be used to determine the actual loan-to-value, rather than the contract price. If this should occur and the parties cannot agree on a revised value or contract terms, the buyer risks losing all or a portion of his/her due-diligence expenses.
Value Determination: Your lender will require and order an appraisal of the property. Appraisal fees generally range from $2,400 to $5,000 depending on the nature of the property and customary charges in a given geographical area.
Down Payment may be as little as 10% for qualified buyers, although interest rates typically increase proportionate to the Loan to Value (LTV). Funds from 401ks or IRAs can be used as a down payment on a B & B/Inn. The programs are quite complicated but can be managed professionally by a qualified plan facilitator.
Resumes will be necessary on purchases for all partners with an interest greater than 10%. A resume containing experience in the hospitality and/or restaurant industry will be extremely beneficial, as the lender must determine that the borrower's work history is sufficient to maintain and/or improve the cash flow of the business. Transferable skill sets may be used to offset this requirement
Credit Scores are extremely important to a lender in evaluating the merits of a loan. Your credit (or FICO) scores have a direct impact on the rate, term and loan program you for which you qualify. Note: Individual lender guidelines may vary.
Financing Overview
Because each property is unique in some way, so then each financing option must be analyzed carefully as to which financing programs are available in your state and what financing options you will have for the property you desire to purchase. A Conventional loan application package will contain such information as the Contract of Sale, 2 to 3 years business tax returns, an interim financial statement, bank statements and in some cases a business plan. In addition, for all partners with an interest greater than 10%, a credit profile, 2 years personal tax returns and resumes will be required.
The following is a brief overview on the various aspects of commercial financing:
- The business has income, but the Bed & Breakfast's/Inn's financials show a modest profit, or even a loss, and will not support the debt service on its own.
- Banks local to the property may not understand the industry because they are not comfortable with the industry and or the business itself.
- The concentration of Bed & Breakfasts/Inns in a particular area may be insufficient to develop the comparable sales data.
- The borrower's resume does not contain the skill sets that would give a lender confidence that the borrower has the ability to manage and maintain the business going forward.
- The combination of the buyer's down payment and the loan amount of the first mortgage falls short of the asking price or appraised value. Before non-bank lenders, if a local bank would not lend on a B & B/Inn, seller financing was the only way to facilitate a transaction. Seller financing still has its place in some transactions, as it broadens the pool of potential buyers and, in fact, may be the last and only way to consummate the sale.
Conventional Commercial Loans:
- For Viable inns only (Inns that cash flow principally on the business income however, underwriting may use global Debt to Income Underwriting DTI)
- 60% to 75% Loan to Value (LTV)
- 20 Year Term
- May require a balloon payment
- 2% to 3% in Closing Costs
- Cash Flow 120% Debt Service Coverage Ratio (DSCR)
- Yearly Business Financials are generally required
Permits financing of all types of business needs from purchasing real estate and fixed assets to working capital, business acquisitions and leasehold financing.

- Up to 85% financing
- 3 and 5 Year Fixed Available
- Fully amortized loans with no balloons
- Terms to 25 years
- Loans up to $2 million
- Reduced Closing Costs
- Loans may be assumed
- Variable and fixed rate financing at 1.50% to 2.75% Over Prime
The SBA 504 loan program highlights are:
504 eligible project costs include;
- Land and building acquisition
- Site improvements
- Building improvements
- Professional fees, including architect, appraisal, environmental
- Other costs, including title insurance, survey, points and interest on interim loan
- Machinery and equipment acquisition
The main advantages of the SBA 504 program are as follows:
- Loans to 5 Million
- Small equity injection, as little as 15% toward the total eligible project
- Long-term financing is available, up to 25 years on loan 1 and up to 20 years on loan 2
- Very favorable, fully amortizing fixed-rate pricing on loan 2 at market
- Most closing costs are eligible for project financing
- SBA 504 loans may be assumed

DescriptionA collection of short stories from the master of spine-chilling terror
The secretary seeking a cosmopolitan lifestyle in Europe's most sophisticated city; the architect whose secret life is about to become all too public; the delighted beneficiary of a superb inheritance: all very different people trying to make the best of their ordinary lives. But all of them will turn out to have something in common when they are thrown in at the deep end in situations that will turn on its head everything they have ever taken for granted.
When drowning in a puddle becomes a real danger; when an imaginary friend becomes a terrifying threat; when the gift of a lifetime turns out to have come from a formidable -and less than friendly - source: only then will the cast of characters in this deeply chilling collection of stories begin to understand what the feeling of fear really means.

The rigid metal conduit market in North America represents a $320 million industry closely tied to the non-residential market. Although rigid aluminum accounts for just 15 percent of the current conduit market, recent studies speculate rigid aluminum conduit should grow significantly to reach $160 million by 2020.
New research shows a cost-savings benefit for contractors who switch to rigid aluminum conduit from rigid steel conduit. Not only can rigid aluminum conduit save contractors and engineering firms up to 17 percent on usage costs, rigid aluminum conduit meets or exceeds all UL6 and National Electrical Code standards, performing as well or better than steel.
These statistics are the result of a comprehensive study undertaken in 2012 to examine the North American electrical conduit market, comparing steel and aluminum material systems. The study was conducted by IBIS Associates, an independent strategic consulting company focused on quantitative analyses of competitive economics and business development issues for the materials and manufacturing technologies.
One of the main objectives of the study was to create a snapshot of the rigid metal conduit market landscape in terms of product, materials, sizes, end-use industries and suppliers. The results highlight some of the obstacles facing wider adoption of rigid aluminum conduit, and help to explain part of the reason the industry has been slow to recognize the obvious benefits associated with rigid aluminum conduit.
Among these obstacles includes a lack of incentive to change. Electrical conduit represents only a small piece of construction supplies— particularly compared to conductors themselves and other electrical components—and is therefore not a big-ticket item when contractors go to fill specification orders, which doesn't give much reason for suppliers to stock large amounts. Additionally, many designers and engineers have greater familiarity of, and more experience with, galvanized steel electrical conduit, leading to a natural default to this material. Lastly, the perception of rigid aluminum conduit as a more expensive material prevents greater use of rigid aluminum conduit within the electrical conduit industry.
The study also highlights multiple market factors and identifies several market trends connected to areas of opportunity. Because the growth of the electrical conduit market is tied so closely to the non-residential industry, increased capital investment in this industry has sparked an increase in conduit usage. And while certain types of conduit are surging ahead to take advantage of this demand, others are losing ground.
Accounting for these obstacles and market trends, this study proves there is a clear case for rigid aluminum conduit as a more cost-effective and better quality material compared to rigid steel conduit.
As part of this study, the costs for purchasing and installing various types, sizes and materials of conduit were collected and compared. The IBIS investigators gathered data from conduit manufacturers, suppliers, equipment representatives, distributors, engineers and contractors, as well as government agencies, trade groups and publications.
Their results show that rigid aluminum conduit consistently ranked among the most cost-effective materials in terms of raw material and total installation costs, especially when compared to rigid steel conduit, as demonstrated in Figure 1.
In a sense, the increase in savings seems to parallel the increase in size of the diameter tube being used, with cost advantages more apparent on larger projects and for conduit with larger diameters, as shown in Figure 2.
The IBIS study points out there can be some confusion, in that all these products are rigid as opposed to flexible; when the industry speaks of "Rigid," it is usually referring to the thickest category of GRC and Aluminum, providing the greatest level of protection for wiring and cable. Within these specific projects, the use of rigid aluminum conduit is referred to as UL6 and UL6-A.
Additionally, as part of the study, equipment representatives and distributors were interviewed and questioned about the conduit sales by size for four projects that were conducted where rigid aluminum conduit was used in place of GRC. These projects were analyzed by comparing the costs of conduit purchase, installation, combined purchase and installation, and the amount saved by aluminum usage. Not only do material costs weigh heavily in rigid aluminum conduit's favor, but due to its light weight, rigid aluminum conduit is easier to transport and also faster to install, representing cost savings in terms of shipping and labor.
"Electrical contractors are required to take precautions when it comes to lifting heavy materials. The weight of the (aluminum) conduit saves back and arms during the installation phase of the project. What would normally take two people with rigid steel conduit takes one with aluminum conduit."Aaron Littlepage, Construction Services Consultant and former Journeyman Electrician, Wylie Associates Inc., Houston TX
The results indicate a clear cost-savings in each case, with rigid aluminum conduit saving an average of $6,100 or 8.5 percent for the two mid-scale projects, and an average of $141,500 or about 13 percent for the two large-scale projects.
Cost, however, is not the only advantage rigid aluminum conduit has over rigid steel conduit. Rigid aluminum conduit also performs better in the field and has superior durability; it resists corrosion and will not rust or discolor, even after extended outdoor exposure, minimizing the dangerous conditions that arise when steel rusts out. This is particularly important in outdoor installations, such as bridges, tunnels, parking garages and other outdoor construction areas involving infrastructure.
Another proof point indicating better performance is that rigid aluminum conduit is nonmagnetic and does not spark, eliminating the risk of explosion from a spark or fire, which is particularly important in refineries, waste water treatment facilities, coal mines and grain elevators. While some of the advantages of using rigid aluminum conduit can be quantified, the health and safety of workers during the installation process is invaluable.
Furthermore, because rigid aluminum conduit is produced as a single pipe, there is no welded seam as there is with rigid steel conduit, which can fail or snag wires during installation. Rigid aluminum conduit can also be easily bended and threaded—equal to, or more easily than rigid steel conduit—representing an easier pull-through and faster installation. (See Figures 3 and 4.)
Finally, rigid aluminum conduit is a far more sustainable material than rigid steel conduit.
On projects where there is demolition or reconstruction, any existing rigid aluminum conduit can be recycled, representing a true beginning-to-end cost savings advantage. In fact, a 2004 study conducted by the Delft University of Technology found that 95 percent of aluminum used in building and construction is recycled at the structure's end-of-life. When aluminum is re-melted, it doesn't omit toxins or poisonous gasses during the process. Not only is aluminum a more "green" material, it can be used to earn LEED points.
Because of its flexibility and sustainability, there are multiple uses for rigid aluminum conduit. One area identified in the IBIS study that is quickly growing is the EMT market. While EMT is used primarily in light weight commercial construction applications, it has been experiencing a similar shift in the electrical conduit market, converting more contractors, designers and engineers from rigid steel conduit.
Despite the many advantages of rigid aluminum conduit, it is currently not the material most commonly sought after within the electrical conduit market. The results of this study are optimistic, however, and suggest a surge toward rigid aluminum conduit as the preferred choice among contractors, designers and engineers. Conclusively, the biggest source of competition facing rigid aluminum conduit is perception, not fact.

Contrary to popular belief, August is the best month to get the lowest price on a new car or truck, TrueCar.com says.
Most people – including me – would probably say December, when dealers rush to try to clear their lots before the end of the year.
But many manufacturers do "change-overs" at their factories in July, ceasing production of current-year vehicles and starting to build the next year's models.
As a result, dealers may be trying to clear their lots of older vehicles this month to make room for the new ones that factories will soon be shipping.
TrueCar said its data showed that December is actually the most expensive month to buy a car with prices averaging $31,146.
August was the lowest, with transaction prices averaging $29,296 over the last five years, TrueCar.com said.
The average transaction price in August was at least $169 less than any other month, the service said.
"Consumer buying trends have been turned upside down during the past decade due to the emergence of big data," said Scott Painter, founder and CEO of TrueCar.
The company's data also shows that Saturdays are the best day of the week to buy a new vehicle, with prices averaging $30,408.
The worst day of the week was Friday, when prices averaged $31,351.

Celebes changing colour?
Hello all! I've had some Celebes Rainbow fish for a while now. They're all happy, healthy, etc. Two of them (there are seven altogether) are changing in colour. They used to be clear with a gold-ish tinge to them like the rest, but now they're changing to a darker blue-grey. Sorry, no pics. They're too fast!
I've googled and found nothing on this. Is this normal? What does it mean?

I forgot to mention that the colour change is among two of the females. One in particular has drawn the attention of two males, who enjoy flaring at her every morning and trying to chase each other (other male) away.

There is one thing that you have to accept Crash not to be while watching it: a story. The movie features a melodramatic tale but only as a support for a sort of exercise involving extremes of racism in Los Angeles. So, you must suspend disbelief at all the coincidences and contrivances and implausibilities. I was reminded of the sexual harrassment training video that I show my employees during orientation; each circumstance is explored in an unlikely and almost laughable portrayal. In the end, the total of examples make for a general point.
Very few people are actually as vocal about their stereotyping as the characters in Crash, but racist thoughts are still present today, even if unconsciously or through jokes or through knowledge and acceptance of the existence of misconceptions. Similar to the Sundance hit documentary The Aristocrats, Crash digs through the taboos in a desensitizing way. I was unsure whether it wants to expose us all as hypocrites because we understand the obviousness of each situation or if writer-director Paul Haggis believes our experience of the film as a shocking discovery of these truths.
In the end, I don't really care what the exercise was trying to achieve because Haggis insults the intelligence of his audience in other ways. In one pivotal scene a character fires a gun point blank at another with no lethal effect. In the context of this film, the plot of which gets pretty far-fetched but remains for the most part grounded in reality, the chance of a miracle is pretty slim. Obviously, the gun was loaded with blanks. That Haggis finds it necessary to include an insert shot of the box of blanks is a total drag. Every good thing about Crash -including Jennifer Esposito's nudity -was then ruined.Powered by Sidelines

Arizona retailers are optimistic about holiday spending
WASHINGTON — Holiday spending is expected to increase by 3.5 to 4 percent this year, as a rising number of consumers plan to spend more and fewer expect to pull back, according to a new national survey.
The survey by the Consumer Federation of America and the Credit Union National Association, released in advance of the biggest shopping day of the year, said consumer confidence is stronger than it has been in some years.
"People, apparently, are more prepared to spend because they see a somewhat brighter economic future," said Stephen Brobeck, executive director of the consumer federation.
"Since 2007, the percentage of those planning to increase their holiday spending has never been higher, and the percentage of those planning to reduce their spending has never been lower," Brobeck said Wednesday at the release of the groups' 13th annual shopping outlook.
Bill Hampel, chief economist at the credit union association, said the outlook is stronger than it has been in the last four years.
"It still doesn't suggest a booming holiday season, but a continued improvement from the last two years," Hampel said.
He said spending is expected to be "strongest in the South and weakest in the West."
But economists and retailers in Arizona said they are looking forward to strong holiday sales, with increases at least as great as the national average, if not more.
"My prediction would be more in the 5 percent range," said Dennis Hoffman, director of the L. William Seidman Research Institute at Arizona State University's W.P. Carey School of Business.
Given the national numbers, Hoffman said his projections might be a little optimistic, but that the evidence he has seen so far suggests a strong season.
"I have been seeing retail growth in the 4 to 5 to 6 percent range for a reasonable amount of time," said Hoffman, who is tracking tax receipts daily to monitor consumer spending.
Optimistic or not, Hoffman's prediction was echoed Wednesday by the executive director of the Arizona Retailers Association.
"There may even be a 4 to 5 percent increase in consumer spending this year," said Michelle Ahlmer, the association director.
She said the holiday season is always good for retail, but the increased spending this year likely reflects an economy that is rebounding.
And Ahlmer said Arizona has another asset that other Western states might not enjoy.
"The one advantage here – we have absolutely wonderful weather," she said. "We get a lot of visitors during the holiday season and our sales are always higher."
Hoffman agreed that the "left (coast) being weak doesn't mean Arizona is weak." He conceded that the sales may have weakened for the fall because of uncertainty about the elections and the impending fiscal cliff, but it is not a sign of another recession.
"Five percent might be overly optimistic, but it may not be as low as 4 percent," Hoffman said.
At Changing Hands Bookstore in Tempe, owner Gayle Shanks was just as optimistic.
"I expect consumers to be spending more money this holiday," Shanks said. "Cash registers will be ringing in our store."
Shanks, who opened her bookstore in 1974, looks to each holiday season with excitement, both for the increase in sales and the chance to see winter customers who "return year after year."
"Even in down years, we did better during the holiday season," Shanks said Wednesday.
The report, "Holiday Spending 2012," is based on a Nov. 9-13 telephone survey of 1,012 people who were asked whether they intended to spend more, about the same, or less than last year. It also asked for their concern over debt, credit card payments and other questions.
Nationally, 12 percent said they expected to spend more, up from 8 percent last year, while 38 percent said they would spend less, down from 41 percent a year ago.

Rangers defender Ross Perry has backed his side to use the festive period to pull away from the rest of the pack in the Scottish Third Division.
Victory over Annan in midweek allowed Rangers to move six points clear at the top of the table, before facing nearest rivals Elgin today. The match at Borough Briggs was initially set to take place last month but was postponed after it emerged Elgin had sold too many tickets for the fixture.
Now that the match is finally set to go ahead, Perry knows it is the ideal opportunity for Rangers to put some distance between themselves and everyone else.
"They are second in the league and they are second for a reason. They play good football and they win games so it's going to be a tough one," the 22-year-old centre-half said.
"It's a massive incentive for us if we can go there and win the game because there is going to be some real daylight between us."
Rangers were voted into Scottish football's bottom tier after being consigned to liquidation in the summer and losing their status as a Premier League club.
Ally McCoist's side initially struggled to adapt to life in their new surroundings – especially away from home – but Perry believes they are now back to their best.
Perry added: "We are in a rich vein of form and have won seven in a row. A run like that only breeds confidence.
"Especially with the away games, we seem to have got the hang of those so it's good.
"It was perhaps a learning curve at the start of the season.
"It took a bit of time to get used to it but it seems that we have done that now and hopefully we can continue against Elgin.
"At the start of the season it took a while to bed in but we know ourselves that we've got good players and, when the boys get used to each other, we will have no problems."
The defender made his comeback following hernia surgery as a substitute in Tuesday's 3-0 win over Annan and hopes he has done enough to earn a starting role this weekend.
He said: "The Annan game was four weeks to the day since I had my hernia operation and they say four weeks is the earliest you can get back.
"So I'm delighted with myself for getting back in that time."Reuse content

Simple Potato Scones
|Cold cooked potatoes
|1⁄2 Pound
|1⁄2 Ounce
|To Taste
|Plain flour
|3 Ounce
Sift or mash potatoes very smoothly and mix with the melted margarine and salt—the amount of the latter depends on how much salt has been used in cooking the potatoes.
The scones are very tasteless unless there is some salt in the mixture.
Work in as much flour as the paste will take up and roll out very thinly.
Cut into rounds with a 3 1/2-in cutter, or triangles, and prick well.
Place on a moderately hot girdle and cook for 3 min on each side.
Cool in a towel.
If desired, scones may be buttered and served hot.

In his latest mock draft, ESPN draft analyst Todd McShay predicts USC wide receiver Marqise Lee for the New York Jets, who own the 18th pick.
Lee was off the board for the Jets in McShay's previous mock draft (he had them taking Oregon State wide receiver Brandin Cooks), but this time there's a run on defensive players from the 13th pick to the 17th, allowing Lee to fall. In this scenario, he'd be the third receiver selected, behind Clemson's Sammy Watkins (Oakland Raiders, No. 5) and Texas A&M's Mike Evans (Detroit Lions, No. 10). Interestingly, North Carolina tight end Eric Ebron still is there for the Jets, which would make for an interesting choice. Obviously, the decision could be based on how they address those needs in free agency.
If the Jets take Lee, they'd be looking past his disappointing 2013 season, betting that his 2012 performance (he won the Biletnikoff Award as the nation's top receiver) is a better gauge of his talent. A similar situation unfolded in 2012. Defensive lineman Quinton Coples was a beast at North Carolina in 2010, but slipped the following year for a variety of reasons. He became a human pinata before the draft, with critics taking shots at him. The Jets chose him 16th overall. How's it working out? Too soon to say. Coples' physical talent is undeniable, but he has given credence to some of the pre-draft concerns by displaying a lukewarm motor at times. Lee's work ethic is said to be outstanding.

just think the Chinese have just floated their 1st aircraft carrier and also have some electric subs tht are hard er to detect than Nuc boats. There is something to be said for staying 2 steps ahead of your potential enemies. I don't most Americans don't really realize just how serious this "Non-conflicts' are. Right now we are fighting both an economic and cyber war and the Chinese have no doubts about what they have to do. These incidents with the Japanese are just there to test not only the Japanese response but ours also. We cant let our guard down. Semper Fi
I'm with Sideshow on this one. Cool as heck, but kinda scary and sobering, too. The thought of all of these weapons/defense systems going 'unmanned' is a bit unnerving to me because it feels like the fewer human beings involved, the less accountability there is. As far as what they're operational capabilities are, I've always gotten the impression that by the time the public gets its first view, the thing has likely been operational (if not obsolete) for years.

I talked to several people at NAVAIR who have worked on the X-47 and they said that one of the major goals was to identify and quantify the airframe stresses resulting on an autonomous aircraft of this type from carrier landings. Apparently, the X-47 was not built to take a major amount of carrier landings and they have proven to be more stressful than anticipated, so the test aircraft are very close to the end of their serviceable life...

It's a really cool looking plane. It's all wing. It's a lifting body. Flying off a carrier.(exclamation point, exclamation point) The military is paving the way and commercial aviation will follow. Scale that bird up to the size of a 747 and I believe that's what passenger jets of the future will look like.
Thank you - you are exactly correct. As mind boggling as it is, Lockheed Martin has designed a carrier-based aircraft with the tail hook point too close to the main landing gear and despite correct glide slope and angle of attack approaches, the tail hook "hook skips" the arresting cables and the aircraft does not arrest on the flight deck. In carrier aviation terms, it is called a "bolter". That causes boarding rate problems, which leads to longer time into the wind for the carrier (tactically bad), more diverts because the airplane can't land on the carrier, etc., etc. ALL BAD. Meanwhile, the F-18 Super Hornet enjoys near 100% boarding rates at fractionally the operating cost of Lockheed Martin's stealthy, expensive jet. FWIW.

I've been fairly new to web design (css & html). I am fascinated by it and also intimidated and puzzled at times.
Latetly I've been going thru some grids available for download and playing around with them.
So after while, I was thinking to myself, could I produce on my own decent layout with css under 1KB(compressed)?
So here's what I came up with.
For the grid I used css table properties (wanted to get away from floats, overflows and clearing issues) but I am also aware of problem with IE7 and below and who knows what else.
I have few questions tho:
1) If usable, how could one make it work in IE7 and below?
2) Is it possible to make liquid layout down to a handheld device with something like this?
3) Could something like this be considered for production or was it just an excersize by novice trying to experiment with something which is useless in real world?
4) Is there a better way to produce layout with css under 1KB (compressed) than what I am sharing here with you?
Here's a link

sometimes it is easier not to "reinvent the wheel" when there are good solutions out there already
This reply has been reported for inappropriate content.
I am familiar with that saying :) and it is true most of the time, specially reinventing by someone who's just learning and got no good grasp of CSS. That happens all the time to me when I start learning something new and eventually going back to what's proven and learn it right way, ha ha. I'll get there. Thanx Daniel.
@jurotek Experimenting like that is exactly how I learnt CSS. Keep it up!
This reply has been reported for inappropriate content.
thanx Josh, yes I will keep it up cause I like new challenges and dislike copy and paste without understanding what I am doing. It reminds me my early days in DB development when I constantly messed around with entities, attributes, normalization, dependencies, relational algebra and SQL till I got it right and made good living at it. Unlike DB Dev, web is more forgiving (or at least it seems to me that way) that it allows you to do some things more than one way. And as you know yourself, the solution which is the simplest or more appropriate is sometime hardest to find. But you'll never know till you experiment and beat it to death :)
This reply has been reported for inappropriate content.
joshua is right in his way
what I meant was that sometimes it is better to have a solid grasp of basic stuff in HTML + CSS before doing some more advanced stuff
talking from personal experience I knew lot of more advanced stuff had a good overview of different techiques and was missing some basic udnerstanding who all connects together
that was my biggest problem when I was starting out in web design stuff
experimenting is good in some cases
