Frozen yogurt is a hot seller
You can't lick a treat that tastes as good as ice cream but promises to be a healthier alternative, which could explain why three self-serve frozen yogurt stores have popped up within a two-mile radius in Waterford and East Lyme.
Waterford's Cowlick's Creamery opened in the spring, followed in quick succession by The Fresh Cow near Flanders Four Corners in East Lyme and Peachwave Frozen Yogurt at the Midway Plaza Shopping Center in Niantic.
"It's good for you," said Diane Dudla of Old Lyme, who stopped into The Fresh Cow one day last week. "You can make it as healthy as you want."
"I like the different varieties," added her husband, James. "I like the hot fudge."
The joy of toppings
The Dudlas nicely summed up the attraction of frozen yogurt: The health conscious can add fruits and nuts to the mix, while others are given topping choices that include Captain Crunch, Fruity Pebbles, Swedish Fish, M&Ms and other less than healthy offerings.
And self-serve is a big draw, too. Frozen yogurt fans can dole out just as much as they like of the soft-serve concoction into paper bowls or cones and then load up on toppings of their choice without having to wait for service.
"To be able to do it yourself gives you more control," said Tina Sands of Waterford as she headed into Cowlick's Creamery. "Frozen yogurt is kind of fun."
It's a less labor-intensive business for owners as well, since they don't have to pay a large staff to scoop ice cream or wait on tables. Many of the operations can run during slow periods with only one employee, though Bill Wild, who owns the Peachwave outlet, said during a busy weekend night he needs up to five workers to keep everything running smoothly.
Family business
Wild's operation, which has involved every member of his immediate family, is the largest of the sit-down frozen yogurt businesses in the region that have opened recently. He reports that business was brisk in the summer and has continued to be encouraging, particularly on weekends. In the summer, business was so strong that he kept 14 employees on the payroll.
"We were banging on Fridays and Saturdays," he said. "It was mind-boggling."
Wild, a longtime local resident who also is an executive for Jaypro in Waterford, credits the high-income demographics of East Lyme and the immediate area with his business' success. The proximity of middle-school athletic fields has been a plus as well, bringing in whole teams to celebrate victories or soothe the spirits of the defeated.
Plenty of flavors
Peachwave offers 14 flavors that rotate with the seasons and can be swirled together in different combinations, such as chocolate and peanut butter and pineapple and coconut. The favorite flavors of patrons, Wild reported, are cookies and cream, cupcake (during the summer), salted caramel and pistachio.
But Nicole Krol of Old Lyme, who owns The Fresh Cow with husband Justin, said the old standbys of chocolate and vanilla are still among her patrons' favorites.
"We try to offer as many toppings as we can," she added.
Patrons are still getting used to the self-serve aspect of frozen yogurt, so Krol said she often guides customers through the process. The toppings are tempting, and Krol said by the time a customer gets through piling them on the bill is usually about $5.
"After school is our busiest time of the day," she said.
Amy Yeomans, who owns Cowlick's with partner and fellow Waterford resident Tara Mazzella, said she has noticed a significant dropoff in the frozen yogurt business since the summer ended, which brings up the question of the sustainability of the business during Connecticut's sometimes frigid winters.
But Yeomans, whose business was inspired by the success of Frogeez Frozen Yogurt stores in Groton and Norwich, said she is planning to add soups, salads and bread bowls during the winter in an attempt to keep customers coming back, and she offers coffee, specialty teas and hot cocoa as well. Yeomans noted that Cowlick's, unlike the other operations, also offers ice cream.
"We always have vanilla and chocolate," she said. "We have ice cream for the crowd that doesn't like yogurt."
The three frozen-yogurt storeowners all said they came up with their business plans without knowing there was going to be so much competition popping up all at once.
"It's crazy," said Yeomans. "Hopefully, everybody's successful."
The frozen-yogurt craze may have been initiated in California, but the product's invention actually is credited to the Massachusetts-based company H.P. Hood with another nod to Boston-based Brigham's, which first packaged the product for retail sale. One of the selling points may be its health benefits versus ice cream, but the main attraction is the smooth taste - and the fact that self-serve shops offer customers the ability to create custom-made products.
Krol said frozen yogurt has less fat than ice cream and contains probiotics that can help digestion.
But for Tina Sands, the health factor isn't the main attraction. She and her husband Bob drive to Cowlick's once a week - for the taste, but also for the atmosphere.
"They've got a variety of flavors, and they're constantly changing it up," Sands said. "Everyone is so friendly."
Cowlick's has become a kind of community center, Sands said. A recent movie night, for instance, attracted about 100 people outside in back of the store, which is decorated with wooden cows and sprinkled with rocks and umbrellas, inviting patrons to sit and enjoy.
"It's bringing us back to when we were little kids," Sands said.

Hooper Earns USA Basketball Invite
Lincoln - Nebraska's Jordan Hooper has earned an invitation to compete at the 2013 USA Basketball Women's World University Games Team Trials.
USA Basketball officially announced the 31 players invited to the trials on Wednesday, May 8, after the USA Basketball Junior National Team Committee issued the invitations.
Hooper earned honorable-mention All-America honors for the second straight season in 2012-13 while helping Nebraska to the NCAA Sweet 16. The 6-2 forward from Alliance, Neb., led the Huskers in scoring and rebounding with 17.9 points and 8.8 boards per contest while powering Nebraska to a 25-9 overall record.
A three-year starter for the Huskers, Hooper was a candidate for the Wade, Naismith and Wooden National Player-of-the-Year awards as a junior. The two-time first-team All-Big Ten selection enters her senior season at Nebraska ranked 10th in career scoring with 1,685 points, while ranking fifth in career rebounding with 811. She also ranks second in career three-pointers made with 215.
Hooper will be in a talented player pool that includes 10 players who have won gold medals with USA Basketball in international competition. The team will be coached by Oklahoma's Sherri Coale, along with assistants Brian Giorgis (Marist) and Coquese Washington (Penn State). Wisconsin's Bobbie Kelsey and Tulsa's Matilda Mossman will serve as court coaches during the trials.
Following the completion of the World University Games Trials on May 19, a 12-player roster will be announced. Those 12 players selected to represent USA Basketball will hold training camp at the U.S. Olympic Training Center in Colorado Springs June 25-July 1.
The 2013 World University Games women's basketball competition will be held in Kazan, Russia, July 8-15. Organized by the International University Sports Federation and held every other year, the World University Games is a multi-sport competition open to men and women who are between the ages of 17 and 24.

Ars Technica has an unconfirmed report that ArenaNet has been experiencing attempts at unauthorized access to Guild Wars 2 accounts. These differ from the typical such attacks as they are reportedly the result of a breach at an unnamed Guild Wars fan-site, and that the perpetrators are now trying the username and password combinations from the site to take advantage of users who also use them for their game account. They include the obvious warning that this is not a good idea.

A recent post to the Command & Conquer Blog updates us on progress on the upcoming free-to-play Command & Conquer game (thanks Ant). This includes an explanation of why they are not actually hyping this more, saying: "We've decided to actually let the game speak for itself, instead of starting the typical marketing noise you normally would expect. That being said, it might be a few more months before we reveal more information – we don't just want to tell you about the game, we want to show you." It also outlines plans for an extended beta test beginning next year:

MOUNT VERNON, Wash. — A bread laboratory like none other has attracted the attention of bakers across the U.S.
Stephen Jones, director of Washington State University's Northwestern Washington Research and Extension Center, said the idea of discovering different grains' unique properties "gets bakers to places they don't normally get to."
From Portland, Seattle, San Francisco and Philadelphia, bakers are coming to talk with farmers and discover local types and flavors of grain. These are mostly one-to-three-day visits.
Two bakers from the oldest flour company in the country will visit the bread lab in January. King Arthur Flour, in Norwich, Vt., will send bakery director Jeffrey Hamelman and production baker Kelsey Fairfield.
Hamelman is one of the nation's few Certified Master Bakers, as well as an award-winning author and former captain of Baking Team USA, which competed in 1996 at the Coupe du Monde de la Boulangerie, an international "Bread Olympics" in Paris.
The 500-square-foot lab houses steam-injected ovens and commercial-quality test equipment designed to measure such dough qualities as rise, strength, mixing tolerance and protein content. Jones said he knows of no similar facilities anywhere.
Jonathan McDowell, resident baker, will assist the visiting craft bakers in finding the optimal hydration, temperature and time levels to bring out the desired character of their featured grains, such as wheat, rye or barley.
"The lab's main reason for being is to serve the breeding program, and baking beyond that," Jones said. The breeding program studies thousands of different grains grown in surrounding fields and provided by millers to determine which are most suitable for craft baking.
Visiting bakers will also stop in at nearby farms and mills, discovering a booming grain industry.
"We have 5,000 to 6,000 acres just in our little (Skagit) valley since peas went away," Jones said. "Everywhere you look out there, there are grains."
Hamelman said he and Fairfield, a Kansas State University graduate with a background in baking science who has been at King Arthur Flour for two years, will be working with local varieties of Northwest wheat to determine just the right touch and combination of locally sourced ingredients to bring out unique flavors that can't be found on the typical grocery shelf.
"We see this as a kind of ongoing partnership through which our bakers will visit the bread lab possibly three times a year," Hamelman said. "We will be sending out bakers to both learn and teach — a bit of cross-pollination."

Sequel to "Does She Know"
Wow! I can't believe I'm engaged. Me and Trey had the best time on that cruise for the second go round. As I sit here looking out my window on the plane, just reliving all the events from our trip Trey lays here asleep on my shoulder. The tour is about to start so I won't be seeing my baby for awhile. I can't stop looking at my ring. It's so beautiful. It's a platinum Lucida cut 2.5 carat diamond ring. I remember going and showing it to my mom. She was so happy for me. She knew he wanted to marry me before I did. He wanted her blessing. I was so surprised he asked. I mean I know Trey is a gentlemen and all but for him to get my parents blessing first meant so much to me. That little sneak Aleen knew too. I couldn't believe she was actually able to keep this a secret from me. I had no idea he was going to be on that boat with us, let alone give a marriage proposal. God I'm so glad he was. That's a moment that I will never forget.
Once we landed in LA. I ended up going to Trey's house. I figured I'd stay with him until he left for his tour. I rarely stay at his house without him. It's so big. I use to get scared when I was alone, so I stopped staying here when he would be out of town. It was a six bedroom with seven and a half baths, very beautiful and spacious. We were beat from all that traveling. We didn't even take our bags up to the room with us. We went upstairs, got undressed and laid in the bed. Trey was holding me and I was just about to drift off to sleep until his words broke it.
"Baby when you movin in wit me?"
Eyes closed half way sleep "I don't know babe…yawns…can we talk about this in the morning?"
"What is there to talk about? You planning on movin in here right?" Now I'm starting to fully awake. I turn in his direction.
"Baby I wanna be where ever you are but Trey shouldn't I wait until after the wedding to move in?"
"I can't wait dat long. Do you know how good this feels right now? I wanna be able to come home knowin you gone be here."
"I'm scared to be in all this house when I'm by myself."
"What I gotta get you a pet or something to keep you company when I'm gone?"
"No…I just get nervous. Sometimes I would think I was hearing things. I couldn't wait until you got here. Then I just got to the point where…you know…I would be home and you would end up coming to me."
"Baby with all this security around here you still don't feel safe?"
"I don't know Trey."
"Maybe now with Evan and Marcus around that'll help."
"Trey they can't be up all night and all day."
"Why can't they? They can take turns. That's what they gettin paid for…to do whatever job I need them to do."
"I just don't want to be a burden on them."
"Baby they are paid professionals. They have a job to do which is to protect you. People work at night all the time. They'll be taking turns on the job protecting you on nights I'm not here."
"You're really ready for me to move in now….before the wedding?"
"I want dat ass here right now. I want full access around the clock."
"Aw baby…kisses him…I guess I'll be moving in then." I snuggle back in his arms and we cuddle until we fall asleep.
2 days later
(A) "Shade 45 it's another Morning After with Angela Yee. We've been talking to Trey Songz he's here in the studio. Now Trey before the commercial break we were talking about rumors. You know I have to ask to get the facts straight. There's talk about a wedding in your future?"
(T) "You heard dat?"
(A) "Yes. It's even been said that Shanell you're girlfriend has been spotted wearing an engagement ring."
(T) "I guess if she's been seen wit a ring then it just has to be true huh?"
(A) "Come on, I need a yes or no…don't give me that sarcasm. Is my Trey getting married?"
(T) still plays around "Yeah I plan on it in the near future."
(A) "Ok let me take another approach, did you buy Shanell an engagement ring?"
(T) "Ok all jokes aside I did ask Shanell to marry me."
(A) "Aw that's great Trey! Congratulations! So how'd you do it? Knowing you I'm sure it had to be all grand."
(T) "I'll just say that it was done in an intimate setting…she was surprised and um…she immediately said yes."
(A) "Yeah ok…I'll go with that for now, but you know this isn't over. Anyway thank you again for coming on the show. Good luck with the tour and congratulations again on your engagement."
(T) "You gone be able to catch a show?"
(A) "Oh I'll be at one of them."
(T) "Ok…dat's what's up."
(A) "I want a wedding invite too." plays around again
(T) "It's time for me go." gets out of chair
(A) "Shade 45 with Angela Yee we'll be back. Ok now that we're off the air I'm serious about a wedding invite. Don't try to run off."
(T) "Nah I hear you. You know I'ma look out for you…gives hug…holla at me when you make a show."
(A) "I will."
Listener "OH NO THE HELL HE NOT!!! This nigga crazy if he think he's getting married on my ass. How could he be ready for marriage. I can't let this happen! I won't let this happen! She'll never have him not if I can do something about it."
"So what do you think?"
"I don't know Shanell. I think you look fine. I mean I can understand you wanting to have plastic surgery for your special day and all but…I don't feel it's necessary."
"Come on Aleen don't you think Trey would be so surprised to see me and no scar?"
"I really don't think it matters to Trey. You should know that. He's been with you all this time and not once according to you has he ever asked you to change…in any way."
"I know but I want to look beautiful for him for my own reasons. I want our wedding pictures to be stunning. I don't want this scar on my face."
"What if the surgery doesn't turn out the way you think it will…then what?"
"Why wouldn't it turn out right?"
"Because surgeons make mistakes…I'm just saying…it's risky."
"Thanks a lot Aleen."
"What! You asked for my opinion so I'm giving it. I think you really need to think about this and look at not only the positives but the negatives. I also don't think you should do this without discussing it with Trey…surprise or not he needs to know."
"I'm not telling him. That's not negotiable. I want to have this done as a surprise and by the way you're responding to it I might as well had been talking to him because he'd probably be against it too."
"You never know Shanell, but the only way to find out is to tell him. God forbid something goes wrong and he never even knew what you were doing."
"Well that's why I'm confiding in you. At least you'll know what's going on. I really believe it's gonna all work out anyway. He'll be on tour so I can have it done while he's away and surprise him with my new look once he returns."
"Well you know how I feel about all of this…but you do what ever you feel is necessary…I'll still be here…"
"I think Trey just walked in…I'll call you back."
Since I was in the kitchen on the phone when Trey walked in I heard him and Buggzi talking. He didn't sound to happy either. I walked in there to see what was going on. He suddenly stops the conversation once he notices me. I walk over to him.
"Hey baby…is everything ok?"
"Yeah baby…kisses my lips…everything cool nothing you need to be concerned with." I didn't believe that for one minute. That conversation was too intense and when I looked at Buggzi you could see the tension all over his face. I had been waiting for them to get back since Trey wanted to go with me to my appointment to get my cast off. I saved my concern.
"Ok well are you ready?"
"Yeah I need to run upstairs real quick then I'll be ready…I'll be right back." Trey went upstairs. Ok I felt like I held my piece long enough.
"Ok Buggzi what's going on?"
"Nah you heard what he said…nothing you need to be worrying about…it's business."
"I know what he said but I don't believe it not for one minute. I've also been around you long enough to know when you really have a problem with something."
"We go through this all the time…it's just the boss chewing me out about few things…that's it."
"You sure that's all it is and it's not anything that I should be concerned with?" Trey comes back down the steps.
"Ight you ready baby?" I stared at Buggzi as I went to grab my purse.
"Yeah I'm ready." Part of me still didn't believe his explanation but I had nothing else to go on so I figured I wouldn't press the issue anymore. We arrived at the hospital and Trey came in the room with me. I was finally getting my cast off. Trey watched as the doctor cut it off. My leg looked so dry and skinny but I was so happy that it was off. I couldn't wait to take a shower. Now I could have both legs getting wet again. The doctor asked me if I wanted the cast but I told him no he could toss it. The thought of that day alone was so engraved in my mind that it was reminder enough. Trey placed my shoe on my foot like I was Cinderella getting on her glass slipper. I thought it was so cute. It felt weird walking and my foot actually being in my shoe and out of the cast. I had to get use to this all over again. I still was skeptical about putting any pressure on that leg when I walked, but the doctor told me that's a normal reaction and I'd be fine. I just had to get back in the swing of things again. He did tell me that I would have to do some physical therapy for a few weeks and gave me a script for where to go. Once that was done we were ready to go. On our way out of the hospital I couldn't believe who we bumped into…Nikki.
To be continued...

Submission + - Dell's Ubuntu Ultrabook goes on sale - for more than Windows version (pcpro.co.uk)
nk497 writes: "Dell's "Project Sputnik" laptop is now on sale. The XPS 13 Developer Edition comes with Ubuntu 12.04 pre-installed, and costs $1,549 — $50 more than the same model running Windows. The Ubuntu Ultrabook is the result of a skunkworks project to optimise the open-source OS to run on Dell projects, to create better laptops for developers. The idea of the project was to create a laptop for developers, based around "the idea that developers are the kings of IT and set the agenda for web companies, who in turn, set the agenda for the whole industry", Dell said."

If you guys want a angled one or something like a RT one I can modify my CAD. I can check with my plastics guy to see if he would want to make these parts.
On my side the original design is perfect (or almost prefect).
I don't like angled foregrip it's not natural for my hands, I've only one on my toxic/airwalk mag and it's only for the "look".
Usually I like the RT foregrips but on this specific projet, I fear it would be too fat regarding the slim line of the "rail".
But, that's just my thought.
I can make these parts for you if you are not going to put air through them.
pm me anyone interested and we can talk.
ill need to get the file and test print. and see how it comes out and such.
but if its anything like the one I just do we should be good.
pm me if you have interest in this.
To clarify knownothingmags is referring to Foregrip adapters. I can CAD them up when I have time.
any chance you could do the internal LPR like the G-force frames…that gives you more room in the frame?
Price pending of course, I'd want a modified handgrip if you'd consider doing one for me. Failing that, I'd want an asa adaptor. I've no interest in the benchmark.
Man I hope we get our bonus this year
You once mentioned that talon triggers might be an option. Is that still likely, or would that now be too many choices?
I'm thinking at this point I would rather use a trigger of my own design then outsource the parts.
I was looking through this thread and i use a company called solid concepts ( http://www.solidconcepts.com )to print metal parts all the time you are limited to Stainless Steel Inconel and Titanium, but if you want them to do some finish machining to a cad file or drawing they can do that to. If you are looking at their services and want info on metal printing look for their DMLS product (Direct Metal Laser Sintering). they usually turn plastic parts around for me at work in 1 day and metal parts are usually only a week and their prices are very reasonable for small projects. good luck with this project.
Nothing new about this project ?
With Knownothings situation its been slightly delayed. He is making me the test prototype.
Once I have that there will be some pictures of the prototype then testing. There is just enough changes that I want to make sure it works perfectly before opening a pre-order. Scott (BigEvil) is doing the testing and he has no problems telling me if it sucks or not.
Sorry for the delays.
Don't be sorry for that, there's no hurry ! I was just coming to the news !
KNM has to recover health first, that's the most important.
Take all the time you need for testing, that's the waranty to get a nice and perfectly working frame
im sending the stuff to you today keith,
email me you addy again, I have it but not sure if ill find it.
I hope the finish on the parts is what you were asking for if not I can do it again.
but they came out great.
I think they are Purdy.:D
Im sure whatever finish you managed is fine. Im only checking function. I only wanted pretty for the pictures and Im sure everyone here will understand if something not perfect looking.
couger, I just want to confirm that this run is reasonably definite (presuming that the testing works out and you can fill a pre-order). I'm planning a build around it that includes XMT's CF main body. So I wanted to check the status of this before I got on that pre order. Also, do you have a final plan for the foregrip?
While I'm blabbering, you are in NH correct? If you need an RTP or X-Valve platform to test these on I can lend you one (I'm in MA). I don't want to step on BE's toes, but it might be easier than shipping back on forth to Jersey.
I'll be for one, sure, I've the same project as PGOP with the XMT CF body (I already ordered mine ! ) !!!!!
I also have a VA that will accept any standard asa threaded foregrip. I have a very limited supply of Benchmark foregrips I plan to offer if they come apart nicely.
There will be a fairly complex options/pricing sturcture for these so those that want certain parts can get what they want.
Forgive me if this has already been answered but: the hole behind the trigger; is that for a pneumag MSV-2 actuation rod?
Maybe I am alone in this but I would like the foregrip mounting area to be as wide as a standard rail so that other foregrip options are more compatible. Imagine trying to put a DW CF grip on it or something like an RPG stick grip. They would look out of place on that skinny rail.
Just my $.02
To go with a va area that wide I would need to start with a chunk approxamitly 1 1/4" thick. Most of that would get milled down to 3/4" thick. Some smaller. The cost of the material is a issue. But the cost to cut it dowb is more of a issue. Machine times not cheap.
The other reason it was done thin was because the design is to eliminate the rail. To have a small wide rail in the front wouldnt accomplish that.
If its something that got enough interst i can design a adapter and KNM can print the for people. Ive already descussed that with him am he is willing to do it. He will not print anything intended to hold pressure.
Make sure it is wide enough to cover the boss area around the front screw hole on the ULE bodies.
Just didn't know what bodies it would be tested with and they all seem to have different cuts leaving a potential for a gap. It is less noticable with the standard feed ULE, but this was the only picture I had handy.

Hitting the links for a good cause01/07/2006 5:00 PM ET
By Ben Platt / MLB.com
LA JOLLA, Calif. -- Later this month, some of the greatest golfers in the world will descend on Torrey Pines to take part in the 2006 Buick Invitational. As the workers build the grandstands on the 18th green for that event, more than 30 baseball players -- including Barry Bonds, Ken Griffey Jr. and Mark Prior -- along with other representatives from the Major League Baseball Players Association, corporate sponsors and invited participants took part in the second annual Players Trust Golf Tournament.
The two-day event was held with no fanfare or media attention, which comes as no surprise, because the charity the participants all thoroughly support is one that flies under the radar and quietly helps a lot of people, especially children.
Over the years, the Players Trust has quietly helped make a difference in the Dominican Republic, where 73,000 children are treated for parasites and Vitamin A deficiency. It's also donated close to $900,000 for affordable day care, safe playground equipment, and dental and health services for thousands of kids and their families.
"We just try to give back to the community," said reliever LaTroy Hawkins of the Baltimore Orioles. "We want to give back to this country to some people who may need assistance, and bring kids to the ballpark who may never get the chance to see a Major League ballgame or meet a professional athlete."
"I didn't grow up with much," said Cubs outfielder Jacque Jones. "Some of these kids get to see things that they would never get to see if it wasn't for us out here fund-raising for them so they can do things and accomplish things that they never could without our help."
"Coming out here to support the Players Trust and the charities is great, and there's nothing better than having 80-degree weather in January," said Prior, a native of Southern California, who echoed the sentiment of many of his fellow players that their charitable work doesn't need a lot of fanfare.
"A lot of players don't want to take the credit for it," he said. "They want to do things behind the scenes, and the Players Trust gives [them] an avenue to do things. A lot of guys are uncomfortable with getting notoriety for their work with charities -- plus it also gives them an extension to do something with their individual charities."
The players also enjoy the time to get together before another baseball season starts and compete on the fairway instead of the baseball diamond.
"There's a lot of people out there that like to be involved with baseball players," said Toronto catcher Gregg Zaun. "Golf is kind of an ambassador sport to everyone. No matter where you come from in the world, it seems like everyone wants to get out on the golf course, and I know baseball players are no different -- we like to get out and have a good time and whack it around a little bit, and it helps us connect with people we normally don't get an opportunity to meet."
"It's really nice to get together and not worry about playing a baseball game that night or the next day," said free agent pitcher Mike Remlinger. "The people here are all pretty special people to begin with to support such a great cause, and the weather has been great. I'm just glad that I'm able to be here to help."
"The offseason is kind of tough, because everybody is spread out all over the place," said free agent outfielder Michael Tucker. "It's great when you can get everybody to come together and raise some money for some charities.
"The Players Trust has been doing some great things for the past seven or eight years. The things they've been doing and accomplishing have just been wonderful. The Players Trust came up with the buses for kids -- I don't think a lot of people know that they go out and bring kids in buses to the ballpark -- and we get to hang out and spend some time with them. It's wonderful, and it gets everyone involved."
During the tournament, at least one ballplayer would be in a group of four to five golfers who played Torrey Pines' north course the first day and south course the second day. The participants also took part in a fund-raising auction of baseball and sports memorabilia, with all the proceeds going to the trust.
Among the ballplayers who took part in the tournament were Trevor Hoffman, Steve Finley, Kenny Lofton, Brad Wilkerson, Eric Chavez, Zach Day, Mark Loretta, Mike Sweeney, Phil Nevin, Xavier Nady, Mark Grudzielanek, and Hall of Famer Dave Winfield.
"A lot of individuals have their individual golf tournaments for various causes," said free agent infielder Royce Clayton. "This way we get to pool our resources together, raise funds and distribute funds to organizations we find desirable. It's a great opportunity for us as baseball players to let the community know that we are actively involved -- not just in one small area."
The total take for the weekend event was more than $200,000.
This story was not subject to the approval of Major League Baseball or its clubs.

BEAVER FALLS, Pa. (AP) — A teenage girl described hearing her parents executed by two masked men during a preliminary hearing in the killing four years ago.
A daughter of Richard Warren Harper and Demetria Harper described how she and a younger sister were ushered into a basement room and heard their parents shot on the other side of the door in June 2008.
Fifteen-year-old Laniya Harper described the ordeal Wednesday during a preliminary hearing for Robert Burgess and Devon Shealey. The men are accused of killing the Harpers inside their Beaver Falls home in a drug dispute.
The then-11-year-old girl said she saw her parents tied up and heard a man demanding money before two gunshots.
Testimony is scheduled to continue Thursday.

As your editors look back on this past year, we keep asking ourselves not "How our members are getting along with their Family History Research" but Are we as your editors giving our members a balanced program of the things which they want and find interesting?" We have tried very hard to do just that, with the kind help from many of our members. Our first year has indeed been an unqualified success, but that success has been due entirely to the enthusiasm and support of our members in the combined research of our Worthington family. Our membership has grown very large since our very first member, Charles Worthington, Atlanta, Ga. sent in his subscription (This is the first time he is aware he is number One). Maryland leads all the states for the amount of subscribers, Illinois is second and Texas is third. This makes Capt. John (1st) Nicholas (2nd) and Robert the Quaker (3rd). We are researching the Worthington in England, where all our lines cross. We dont know how we can get this information to you, but in the coming months we are going, to try. We deal with mostly Parish Records and Lest Court Records, as these, are the moat easily documented. We have one room filled with filing cabinets – full of Worthington records, pictures, maps, wills, deeds. If any member has an idea as to the best way we can impart this information – please, please send in your suggestions. We have thought of taking one immigrant ancestor at a time – But .is this fair?
It is time for renewal as this is last issue in Volume I – as we subscribe by volume. We don't want to lose any of you – you are all family. "The Worthington Descendants Family". Thank you all for putting up with typing mistakes, errors, etc.
We want to especially thank our two faithful husbands, father and son-in-law- Charles Brengle and Philip Poole, who have aided us in all research, transportation, printing, cemetery digging and in preparation for mailing and who have to face and live with the big "W" as a steady diet. We hope to talk to you all again in October. Frances and Bette.

Kentucky, Wichita State both make statements in thrilling game
ST. LOUIS – The final play call was "Havlicek." An undefeated season was riding on its execution.
Wichita State was trailing Kentucky 78-76, with 3.2 seconds left in the best game of this NCAA tournament so far – and perhaps it will still be the best game of the tourney when the whole thing is over with. Elimination was at hand if the final play did not end in a basket. After months of achievement and external argument, it came down to three seconds and one play.
Inbounds passer Tekele Cotton had three options on Havlicek.
The first option was Cleanthony Early curling backdoor off a screen at the top of the key, looking for a lob pass at the basket. Early had been transcendent Sunday – "the best player on the floor," Shockers assistant Steve Forbes said, knowing that several Wildcats will be lottery picks – scoring 31 points. But Kentucky knew Early would be the initial option, and he saw two blue jerseys go with him as he cut to the basket. It would be a long, risky pass against a long, athletic team, so Cotton did not go there.
The second option was guard Ron Baker, who had 20 points, coming off a screen in the middle of the floor to the near wing. Baker, too, was covered by the switching Wildcats. Cotton did not go there.
The third option was point guard Fred VanVleet, popping free at the top of the key. Cotton went there.
The Missouri Valley Player of the Year took one dribble left, another dribble right, and rose from 3-point range. Kentucky guard Aaron Harrison lunged at him from his left. Center Willie Cauley-Stein loomed in front. The shot was up. For the win.
And then a game of magnificent basketball artistry ended with an inartistic thud of the ball off the rim. It wasn't close.
Game over. Big Blue explosion underway. Shocker dejection right along with it.
"I heard a lot of Kentucky fans cheering," Baker said. "And it kind of burnt my heart a little bit."
A perfect season ended imperfectly.
The first 35-0 record in college basketball history goes into the final ledger at 35-1.
Kentucky triumphed, playing by far its best game of the year to take down the No. 1 seed Shockers. And now the Wildcats advance to Bluegrass Armageddon Part II, the second NCAA tournament meeting with archrival Louisville in three seasons.
But before proceeding to the hyperventilation over a matchup of the past two national champions, this is the appropriate time to pay our last respects to the Shockers.
They became the lightning rods of the college basketball season – undefeated but far from undoubted. Elitists lined up to take shots at their conference and their schedule, insisting Wichita State wasn't as good as its record or its ranking. Populists came to the Shockers' defense.
The tournament would be their ultimate proving ground.
And they proved themselves. Even in defeat. Even in the round of 32.
"For us to end like this is kind of depressing," Baker said. "But I think we proved a point."
The point is this: Wichita State is legit. Worth its seeding. With a roster of guys who were largely uncelebrated by the recruiting analysts, they formed a team that belonged with the bluebloods.
There will be an offseason's worth of what-ifs for the Shockers and their fans to stew over. What if Early hadn't surprisingly missed an alley-oop dunk with eight minutes to play? What if backup Evan Wessel hadn't missed a bunny layup while being fouled – and then missed both free throws? What if Nick Wiggins hadn't missed two free throws with about five minutes to play? What it VanVleet didn't get into foul trouble, allowing Andrew and Aaron Harrison to drive the ball with impunity?
But those questions miss the point. Wichita State and Kentucky gave us college basketball at its finest Sunday. The Shockers had greatness in them, and it took a Kentucky team with as many as seven NBA players finding its own greatness to eliminate the Shockers.
"I know what's in my heart, I know what I saw," Marshall said. "I thought I saw a very high-level basketball game between two incredibly gifted teams, that one team won by one play, one basket, two points. And to take anything away from what these young men have done all season long – and more importantly, how they've done it – if they want to do that, so be it. Good for them."
The last time Wichita State lost was last April, to the eventual national champions. This loss might have been to the eventual national champions, too.
Is that hyperbole? Not now. Not after the way Kentucky played Sunday.
As one Wichita State staffer said afterward, "How did those guys lose 10 games?"
This team bears scant resemblance to the shaky, disjointed group that was beaten by 14-20 South Carolina 22 days ago. John Calipari has worked an extreme – and extremely effective – makeover.
Where there was no confidence, it now overflows. Where there was no chemistry, it now thrives. Where there was no consistency, it now can be found in 40-minute supplies.
A 39-point performance from the Harrison twins against an elite team seemed impossible three weeks ago. Yet there they were, making 10 of 13 free throws and 12 of 22 field goals. In the final minutes, they lowered their heads and bulled to the basket, repeatedly drawing fouls and then making their foul shots.
Multiple clutch plays by James Young also seemed unlikely at times this season. Yet there he was, hitting a 3-pointer with 97 seconds left that gave Kentucky the lead for good and grabbing a pair of huge rebounds late.
A 13-point, 10-rebound, six-assist game from Julius Randle? Maybe the first two-thirds of that stat line, but not the last part. Randle forced nothing today, letting everything come to him and serving as an adept passer. His 5-of-6 foul shooting was a departure from early season form as well.
The loosely affiliated collection of talent seen at times in Kentucky uniforms came together as a unit. And the result was an exalted performance.
"It's so hard trying to figure out roles for guys when you got all these young guys here," Calipari said. "And that means each guy has to sacrifice, each guy has to play the way he needs to play for the team."
It was a team win for Kentucky. A statement win.
And as strange as it may sound, it was a statement loss for a Wichita State team that hadn't lost all year. Paradoxically, the Shockers probably gained more respect in defeat than they had in any of their 35 victories.
They were legit all along. The doubt is removed in defeat.

I never said rude. I have been to many of the cities you noted including both Paris and London and I would agree that as a generalization there is more of a rude atmosphere in those places than Toronto. Intrestingly, no one has disputed the arrogance (generally speaking) in Toronto. Yet the only thing people have seem to agree on is that Edmonton's cold. It was -35 with the wind chill. This city sucks!!!!!

quote:Originally posted by Guest4380I have lived in Toronto, Calgary, Ottawa and Vancouver. I have visited Winnie, Edmonton and Montreal several times each. Heres my take:Best Food: Montreal (hands down), then Vancouver followed by Toronto and Calgary slips into fourth. The others shouldn't be considered unless you only eat Beavertails, then Ottawa can be considered and wins.Best Culture (most to do, activities, etc):Toronto... by far. No runners up here. I guess Montreal is a distant second and Vancouver rounds out with a bronze.Best Nightlife:Montreal, Toronto, then Vancouver. Best Drinkers:Edmonton, Winnipeg, then Calgary. Best Looking and Most Fit People:Vancouver, Montreal, OttawaNicest People: If you don't speak french - Ottawa, Vancouver, then Winnipeg (Montreal last but Edmonton's steroid fueled Tapout morons make that a close one)If you do speak french well - Ottawa. In this case, you will be treated well in Montreal in English and not spat at or run over by the Francophones, so Edmonton is by far the worst).OVERALL (there are a million other factors too)... Montreal is the sickest Canadian city - its fun, it has great culture. Vancouver follows it up based mostly on proximity to Whistler. Toronto runs a suuuuper close third thanks to superior weather to Montreal (and WAYYY better than the 9 months of gloom and rain in Vancouver) the amazing festivals and culture and its legendary cottage country. The other cities are all great too and don't forget Halifax, Hamilton, and Saskatoon! Yup, I said the Hammer, its really changing... check out Hess Village when you visit (then leave quickly haha)-- All this is to say I currently live/work in Vancouver and love it. My honest opinion - if you haven't experienced the greatness that our amazing country has to offer, get off your ass and go have some fun. Ps - if you read this far you are literate so you probably didn't vote Conservative last election... well done, you're part of the solution.

As many Star Wars fans know, shooting first is quite a big deal. Many believe that by releasing Xbox 360 a year before its competitors, Microsoft was able to thrust the brand from third place to second place, only behind Nintendo's massively successful Wii. PlayStation 2 also launched a year before the Gamecube and Xbox--outselling both of these consoles combined. One generation prior, PS1's year-long advantage had it outselling the late-coming N64 by more than a 3-to-1 margin. Given those numbers, it's no surprise that companies want to make sure they are not left behind in the console race. These transitions give every manufacturer a huge opportunity, as previous success does not guarantee future returns. The top execs at Sony are all very aware of this reality: it only took one console--PS3--for Sony's plummet from first place to last place. It only took one console--Wii--for Nintendo to nearly quadruple its footprint.
At this point, it seems likely that not only will Sony announce its next console before Microsoft, but will release their new hardware first as well. It seems analysts were right, with RW Baird's Colin Sebastian saying in 2011: "between Sony and Microsoft, we expect Sony to be first to market perhaps as early as 2013." But, going first isn't necessarily the best move. Let's not forget that Sega launched the Dreamcast a year before PS2--and exited the console market two years later.
Sony's stock has plummeted over the past five years

File::DosGlob - DOS like globbing and then some
require 5.004; # override CORE::glob in current package use File::DosGlob 'glob'; # override CORE::glob in ALL packages (use with extreme caution!) use File::DosGlob 'GLOBAL_glob'; @perlfiles = glob "..\\pe?l/*.p?"; print <..\\pe?l/*.p?>; # from the command line (overrides only in main::) > perl -MFile::DosGlob=glob -e "print <../pe*/*p?>"
A module that implements DOS-like globbing with a few enhancements. It is largely compatible with perlglob.exe (the M$ setargv.obj version) in all but one respect--it understands wildcards in directory components.
For example,
<..\\l*b\\file/*glob.p?> will work as expected (in that it will find something like '..\lib\File/DosGlob.pm' alright). Note that all path components are case-insensitive, and that backslashes and forward slashes are both accepted, and preserved. You may have to double the backslashes if you are putting them in literally, due to double-quotish parsing of the pattern by perl.
Spaces in the argument delimit distinct patterns, so
glob('*.exe *.dll') globs all filenames that end in
.exe or
.dll. If you want to put in literal spaces in the glob pattern, you can escape them with either double quotes, or backslashes. e.g.
glob('c:/"Program Files"/*/*.dll'), or
glob('c:/Program\ Files/*/*.dll'). The argument is tokenized using
Text::ParseWords::parse_line(), so see Text::ParseWords for details of the quoting rules used.
Extending it to csh patterns is left as an exercise to the reader.
Should probably be built into the core, and needs to stop pandering to DOS habits. Needs a dose of optimizium too.

Alaska Railroad crossing and bridge projects advanceWritten by Jenifer Nunez, assistant editor
The Federal Railroad Administration (FRA) issued a Finding of No Significant Impact (FONSI) for the Environmental Assessment (EA) of the North Pole Road/Rail Crossing Reduction project in Alaska.
This allows the project to move forward into the next phases, including land acquisition, final design and permitting, as funding is identified.
The project proposes to reduce the number of grade crossings along the Alaska Railroad (ARRC) Eielson Branch track from Richardson Highway Milepost 9 to the Chena River Floodway. The FRA issued the FONSI after considering the potential impacts of several alternatives in the EA and reviewing public comments solicited through public meetings and other outreach. The approved project would realign the track on the landward side of the Tanana River Flood Control Levee, close nine grade crossings through the city of North Pole and relocate the existing crossing over the Richardson Highway, replacing it with a grade-separated crossing.
The EA was financed by $1 million in Federal Highway Administration funds that were reallocated by the Fairbanks Metropolitan Area Transportation System and the Alaska Department of Transportation and Public Facilities. Funding for next phases has not been identified; however, the Alaska Railroad is seeking funding sources.
The project represents the first phase of a larger proposed project to realign the railroad tracks outside of the more urban areas of Fairbanks and North Pole.
ARRC also saw the delivery of 165-foot steel girders to the Tanana River Crossing construction site. During the next few months, 80 girders will be transported via slow-moving truck convoy along the Richardson Highway from Valdez to the Salcha site (highway milepost 332).
Each convoy will consist of three trucks plus support vehicles. Convoy speed is limited to 25 mph and the one-way trip from Valdez may take 24 hours, depending on weather conditions.
The girders represent significant construction material for the 3,300-foot steel span bridge. Known as the Tanana River Crossing, the bridge and an associated levee comprise the first phase of the four-phase Northern Rail Extension (NRE) project. When complete, NRE will add approximately 80 miles of new rail line to the Alaska Railroad system, stretching from North Pole to Delta Junction. The Tanana River Crossing is scheduled for completion in July 2014. Levee construction concluded earlier this year, and six of the 19 bridge piers have been completed, with five more currently under construction.

An update on the Legend of Grimrock Website announces development of Legend of Grimrock 2, following up on recent hints about plans to build upon their dungeon crawler with word on a sequel, which does not yet carry a release date.

When Facebook goes public this week, the company will be valued at roughly $100 billion.
It will be the highest valuation ever for an initial public offering of a tech company. Is Facebook really worth this much money?
One way to frame the question is to consider a single fraction.
The number on top of the fraction is the total value of the company. The number on the bottom is the company's profits over the past year. This fraction is called the price-to-earnings ratio. It's widely used by investors in stocks.
Over the past century, the average price-to-earnings ratio for big U.S. companies has been 15, according to Anant Sundaram with the Tuck School of Business at Dartmouth. The ratio for Apple is about 15. The ratio for Google is a bit higher.
One way to think about that: At current levels, it would take the average company 15 years to generate enough profit to pay for itself.
The picture for Facebook is very different. Facebook's price-to-earnings ratio is 100. At current levels, it would take Facebook 100 years to generate enough profits to pay for itself.
"Its price-to-earnings earnings ratio is astronomical," Sundaram says. "Off the charts."
That number is so high is because investors are betting Facebook's profits are going to explode.
Sundaram says judging from this price these investors seem to believe that the company's profits will double, and then double again, and then double again — all within the next few years.
For that to happen, Facebook will need to attract 10 percent of all advertising dollars spent on the planet "across all media – print, billboards, radio, television, Internet," Sundaram says. While this is theoretically possible, Sundaram says it's "an extremely low probability."
Last year, Facebook had just over $3 billion in global ad sales. TV ad sales in the U.S. alone last year were $68 billion.
But Facebook is trying to convince potential investors that it will grow into an incredible platform for ads. There are three key parts to this pitch.
1. Nearly 1 billion people now use Facebook.
2. The company knows a ton about its 1 billion users. If you're on Facebook, there's a good chance the company knows your age, gender, where you went to school, what you like, where you live and who you are dating or married to. That means Facebook should be able to do an incredible job of targeting ads to you.
3. In the long run, Facebook wants to figure out how to use your friends to help sell you stuff. So if your friend buys something — a meat grinder, a seltzer maker, whatever — and raves about it on Facebook, that can become an ad.
That last one — turning word-of-mouth recommendations into a massive new advertising system — is at the core of Facebook's long-term strategy.
Will this be the bomb that explodes advertising as we know it? Do social ads work?
"I don't think they have nailed that exact formula yet," says Rob Leathern, who advises big brands that advertise on Facebook.
Google is the obvious comparison here. The company started as a search engine, but turned into a cash cow when it set up automated auctions for ads that run next to search results. Those ads transformed the whole advertising industry.
Facebook isn't there yet. It doesn't have a cash cow. Leathern thinks the company will get there, but it's not a done deal.
From NPR News, this is ALL THINGS CONSIDERED. I'm Robert Siegel.
And I'm Melissa Block. This week, Facebook is planning to raise more than $10 billion from investors by selling a small slice of the company to the public. In filings with the SEC, executives say Facebook could be worth more than $100 billion on its opening day of trading. After trading starts, many on Wall Street expect that number to grow and that could make Facebook more than twice as valuable as Goldman Sachs.
But, as NPR's Steve Henn and Zoe Chace from Planet Money report, such a high valuation comes with a catch. Eventually, investors will demand high profits to match.
STEVE HENN, BYLINE: Zoe, you know what's cool?
ZOE CHACE, BYLINE: A million dollars.
UNIDENTIFIED MAN #1: A million dollars isn't cool. You know what's cool?
UNIDENTIFIED MAN #2: A billion dollars.
HENN: Or, these days, maybe $100 billion.
CHACE: The movie, "The Social Network," was about Facebook just starting out a few years ago and, back then, the company was just worried about getting users. Now, the company's all grown up. One in eight people on Earth are on Facebook and now it wants to make some money.
HENN: Yeah. Again, $100 billion. That's what Facebook is saying the company is worth.
CHACE: And that would be the highest valuation ever for an initial public offering of a tech company. So is Facebook really worth this much money?
HENN: Right. That's the question everybody's asking and there's a way to size up the worth of a public company. Once the company's trading on the stock market, as Facebook is about to be, there's this little number people use to gauge its value.
CHACE: It's basically a fraction. The number on top is total value of the company on the stock market and the number on the bottom is the company's profits over the course of the past year. It's called the price-earnings ratio.
HENN: I talked with a valuation expert, Anant Sundaram, at the Tuck School of Business at Dartmouth, to gauge Facebook's $100 billion promise.
ANANT SUNDARAM: Its price-to-earning ratio is astronomical, off the charts, that are roughly 100 times earnings.
HENN: Apple is under 15.
CHACE: One way to think about that is it means it would take Apple almost 15 years to earn enough cash to buy itself. For Facebook, it would take a bit longer. It would take 100 years.
HENN: That number is so high because investors are betting Facebook's profits are going to explode. Sundaram says, judging from this price, these investors seem to believe that the company's profits will double and then double again and then maybe double again, all within the next few years.
He says to justify the hype, 10 years from now, Facebook will need to attract one of every 10 ad dollars spent anywhere on the planet. That's not just on the Internet. That's the planet.
SUNDARAM: Across all media - print, billboards, radio, television, Internet - and that, to me, seems extremely aggressive. Is it doable? Probably, but at extremely low probability is my guess.
HENN: When it comes to actually selling ads right now, Facebook is really still a baby in this industry. Last year, it sold a little more than $3 billion in ads globally.
CHACE: But television, old-fashioned television, sold $68 billion in ads just in the U.S. alone. It turns out that TV is still by far the biggest ad market and it knows how to spend that money. Every year, all the television networks throw a big party for their advertisers.
JOANNA SAPIENZO: It's their way of saying thank you. It's their way of saying, continue to advertise with us. Continue to - you know, you - we give them money, so they thank us for that.
CHACE: Joanna Sapienzo(ph) is at a party that's being thrown by BBC America. She buys ads on their shows. Internet Ad Auction is not.
JOANNA GATTO: It's like a combination of, like, "Clockwork Orange" and it's like the 1940s.
CHACE: That's Joanna Gatto, sales coordinator for CBS. It's old-fashioned advertising, lavish, but the weird thing is that, even people in television are totally enamored with Facebook.
I sat down with Mark Gall. He's a sales exec at BBC America. And he didn't talk ratings. He talked about Facebook likes.
MARK GALL: Yeah. Facebook is pretty cool and it's helping us.
CHACE: When I asked him about his biggest show, "Top Gear," he didn't talk about its audience or its ratings or how many people watched. Around the world, he says, 15 million people like it on Facebook.
Is that really big?
GALL: Yeah. It's huge for - you know, in the United States, it's probably the number one TV show with a social audience.
CHACE: So he's selling television ads and drinking the Facebook Kool-Aid.
HENN: Facebook couldn't talk with us for this story. They're forbidden to by the SEC because they're about to go public. But the company did make an ad itself last week aimed at investors. The goal was to convince investors that Facebook is going to become this incredible platform for ads and the pitch goes like this.
CHERYL SANDBERG: We offer a compelling value proposition.
HENN: That's Cheryl Sandberg, Facebook's number two in command.
SANDBERG: A unique combination of four things: reach, relevance, engagement and social contacts.
HENN: So, right now, Facebook says it has more than 900 million people and counting. That's its reach. And it knows a ton about these people. If you're on Facebook, they probably know your age, your gender, where you went to school, what you like, where you live, who you're dating or married to and maybe where you are right now so they can target these narrow demographic slices accurately. And it's just the beginning. Facebook's spending a huge amount of time and effort trying to figure out how to bottle up all your friends' likes and interests and hobbies and then use your friends to help sell you stuff.
CHACE: It goes like this. Steve, you're trying to get a meat grinder for your kitchen. Right?
HENN: No, not really.
CHACE: Well, you should because I just got one for myself and it's awesome. I'm going to send you the link and you should get it.
HENN: Capturing interactions like that one on Facebook and selling them as ads is Facebook's biggest pitch to investors.
SANDBERG: This is word of mouth at scale for the very first time.
CHACE: So this brings us to the big question. Right?
HENN: The $100 billion question.
CHACE: Are these Facebook ads - these ads that use your friends as unpaid pitchmen - going to become the bomb that will explode advertising as we know it?
HENN: Do social ads work?
ROB LEATHERN: I don't think they've, you know, nailed that exact formula yet.
HENN: That's Rob Leathern. His business is to help big brands advertise on Facebook. He says, when Google went public, they had this figured out.
LEATHERN: You know, I don't know that Facebook has yet come up with the exact formula the way Google, you know, built a great search experience and then they stumbled upon the ad words - what became ad words and which turned into the big cash cow for them. I don't know that Facebook has found that yet.
HENN: Now, just to be clear, Leathern thinks they will. He's investing all of his time and a lot of his own money building a business around Facebook's success, but he says it's not a done deal.
CHACE: In fact, earlier today, GM announced it was going to stop buying ads on Facebook because it's not convinced the ads work. I'm Zoe Chace in New York.
HENN: Steve Henn, NPR News, Silicon Valley.

For being alive more than 150 years ago, James Madison was remarkably accurate in his predictions about American politics in 2013, according to the University of Colorado's new conservative scholar.
Steven Hayward, who this past summer was named CU's first visiting scholar in conservative thought and policy, said that as the partial government shutdown drags on, he's been revisiting Madison's Federalist Papers.
"He anticipated the situation the public complains about now," Hayward told the Camera in a recent interview. "If you brought him here today, he would not be the least bit surprised to hear this kind of situation. He talks about what would happen if the House and Senate disagree. He said at some point both houses will worry about the condition of the country and reputation of the nation abroad, which bears on the debt ceiling.
"It was a remarkably prescient description of the conflict we have today."
Hayward was brought to the university this year as part of a three-year pilot program to add a conservative perspective to the Boulder campus, long perceived as a haven for liberal thought.
As Republicans in the House of Representatives use President Barack Obama's Affordable Care Act as a sticking point for funding the government and raising the debt limit, Hayward said he doesn't agree with their tactics -- but isn't surprised they're using them.
"It's not a good tactic, only because it's unlikely they would win," Hayward said. "Going after a thing that is the central part of Obama's legacy, it's like charging the strongest part of your opponent's forces. That's the thing Obama's most known for, of course that's going to provoke the biggest resistance."
Hayward said the House has "every constitutional right" to a spending bill that makes changes to or tries to get rid of the Affordable Care Act.
He added that the health care law is off to a "very rocky start," and that House Republicans would have been better off to "sit back and watch it fall on its face."
"I think the (health care law) is unworkable in its present form, only because it's too complicated," Hayward said. "We've seen in the last week a lot of websites crashed and are not working. I think it's going to be changed or repealed in the place of something else."
To Scott Adler, a professor in CU's Political Science Department, it seems that things like the government shutdown and down-to-the-wire fights over raising the debt ceiling are the "new normal" in American politics.
Adler said funding the government and raising debt levels used to be the bare minimum for lawmakers. Now, Americans are lucky if those once-simple tasks even happen at all.
"For the most part, continuing resolutions were considered a normal level of functioning, a status quo and then if there weren't agreements on other things, at least we were keeping the government open," Adler said. "What we've seen in the last two years, three years, four years, is that the minimal level of governance is now in question as well.
"I think that is a fundamental change in the way lawmakers are thinking of what their responsibilities are."
Adler, who has written books on Congress and studies elections and political institutions, couldn't say how he thinks this political impasse will end, but he said he's worried about his new normal theory. If this is the way the government works from now on, it's not going to get much better in the future.
"There are countries in the world where this is how they operate," he said. "They basically stumble from one crisis to the next and the government barely functions and provides far fewer services. These are probably not places that most Americans want to live."

Faulconer, who for years has championed an oversize-vehicle ordinance, said he remains steadfast in his support of a two-year pilot boundary that would mostly apply to the Midway District-Sports Arena area, beaches and other areas west of Interstate 5.
Last week Faulconer, who has been actively making rounds at local community group meetings, said his fellow councilmembers remain concerned about homeless people in RVs heading inland during the pilot period.
"My colleagues are concerned that if we do such a good job west of [I-]5, it'll inundate their neighborhoods," Faulconer said March 20 at the monthly meeting of the North Bay Community Planning Group. "I can see how people would think that. It's like a balloon when you push on it. If there are crazy, unintended consequences in three or four months, we'll revisit it. But let's try to get it out of the gate in a confined area that makes sense."
San Diego is one of the few cities in the county without such an ordinance, Faulconer said.
"We bear the brunt because of that, particularly the beach areas. As the summer season approaches, we want to make sure we have that tool."
A push for an ordinance five years ago was tabled because of budgetary reasons, Faulconer said. Last week, the City Council's Land Use and Housing Committee approved advancing the ordinance to the full City Council. A date has not been set.
Among the highlights of the proposal, still in draft form, known officially as the Neighborhood Parking Protection Ordinance:
• No parking between 2 and
6 a.m. on public streets; 24-hour ban within 50 feet of an intersection. Fine: $100
• Two-year pilot boundary: west of Interstate 5, north of West Laurel Street and San Diego Bay; plus a Morena-Bay Park-South Clairemont area east of l-5, south of Balboa Avenue and west of Tecolote Canyon
• Would apply to vehicles more than 7 feet high or 27 feet long
• Exceptions made for vehicles with handicapped placards, school buses, commercial loading zones and delivering merchandise
• Street-parking permits in the block of the owner would be available for sale for a period up to 72 hours
In other planning group news
• Victor Ravago, general manager of the Hampton Inn, has become the board's newest member by appointment. Ravago replaces Mike Drogin, who stepped down after citing upcoming projects that require him to be out of town. Drogin is also one of four members who has recently run afoul of a San Diego City Council policy that requires the removal of a board member for excessive absences and does not recognize excused absences. North Bay planners have denounced the rule because the planning area has little residential area, and must therefore rely on business members who often need to travel.

By John Sandman NEW YORK ( MainStreet) -- The Senate is working on a new script that could re-write the student loan drama, which supposedly came to a climax yesterday when seven million students with subsidized Stafford loans watched their interest rates jump from 3.4% to 6.8%. A smorgasbord of bills dealing with interest rate hikes have been in an out of committees and on and off the table this year. A new attempt is S. 1238, introduced yesterday by Senators Jack Reed (D-RI) and Kay Hagan (D-NC) that would freeze current rates for one year. A Reed spokesperson said the bill would pay for itself by closing a tax loophole. But with Congress having left town for the July 4th holiday, a vote won't take place in the Senate until at least July 10. The rate freeze could be made retro-active to July 1. As with the others, the bill addresses the cost of the loans and interest rates are the key metric. The Reed-Hagan Bill was preceded by The Bipartisan Student Loan Certainty Act last week. Obama administration's proposal. The Obama plan and the Alexander-Burr-Coburn-King bill both link rates to the 10-year Treasury bill; the market, not Congress, would set the rates, which would be fixed for whatever the rate was when the loan was made. That lowers the rates for borrowers this fall but lets them rise in the future. The Congressional Budget Office projects that unsubsidized Stafford loans will be over 6.8% in 2016 and 8% by 2018. Under the Obama and the Republican plans, there would be no limit on interest rates for the first time. Some Democrats, including chairman of the Health Education, Labor and Pensions Committee Senator Tom Harkin of Iowa, have been unwilling to compromise on their proposal to extend existing rates for another two years and revisit the issue in 2015. Again, the underlying issue is a cap on rates. "Senator Harkin is not interested in proposals that ask low- and middle-income college students and their families to pay even more in interest to reduce the deficit and tie student loans to unrestricted interest rates," said Harkin spokesperson Allison Preiss. "Any proposal that lacks a cap is a nonstarter." Veteran congressional observers say that doing this deal on July 10, then making it effective on July 1, was doable. What's more, new student loans probably wouldn't close until September and certainly after July 1, meaning a post-July 1 rate fix could be baked in to a new agreement. The rates on loans made before July 1 won't be affected in any event.

- Delivery & Returns
We always strive to deliver UK orders within 1 working day. Most International orders are received in 4 to 12 days. All UK orders are delivered by Royal Mail First Class Recorded or Next Day Special Delivery and require a signature on receipt. Delivery is normally one working day, but can take up to 14 days.
All international orders are sent by Royal Mail International Sign For Delivery and require a signature on receipt. Delivery is normally within one week, but due to delays at Customs and variations in local postal services, may take up to 25 working days.
For international deliveries, the customer is responsible to pay all duties and taxes that may be levied on product being imported, as legally required by the country of destination.
