Windfarm expert: NH will see little benefit from projectsBy DAN SEUFERT
Union Leader Correspondent
January 20. 2013 10:12PM
BRISTOL - A self-described renewable energy and wind-power proponent said New England and the Northeast will not benefit much from wind power projects like those proposed in the Newfound Lake area.
Benjamin Luce, a professor of physics and the chairman of the Sustainability Studies Program at Lyndon State College in Lyndonville, Vt., told a crowd of about 250 Friday night that the Midwest is the only part of the United States suited for wind-power production at levels that can make practical contributions to the country's renewable energy portfolio standards.
Luce said Northeast states are being sought out by wind-power developers looking to capitalize on old and inadequate renewable energy standards.
"These are simplistic standards that are grossly slanted toward large, stealth wind-power projects like the ones proposed here," said Luce, who was the guest speaker of New Hampshire Wind Watch at Newfound Memorial High School.
Wind Watch is a 1,300-member group of area residents opposed to recent wind project proposals for wind farms on area ridgelines by two international wind-power giants, Iberdrola Renewables of Spain and EBD Renewables of Portugal. Iberdrola recently completed a wind-farm project in Groton with the state's approval.
Luce previously served as the director of the New Mexico Coalition for Clean Affordable Energy and said he has helped write renewable energy portfolio standards for several states.
He said if all the proposed projects in the Northeast are permitted, they would occupy more than 3,000 miles of the region's ridge lines.
Rep. Harold "Skip" Reilly, Sr., R-Bristol, has proposed a bill to the Legislature in this session that would put a moratorium on new wind-power projects until the state updates its renewable energy plans. Other states are considering similar efforts, Luce said.
"The standards in place now were put in place many years ago, they were a first whack to get renewable energy off the ground," he said. "But there is no well-designed road map for how the Northeast is going to pursue renewable energy."
Off-shore wind power projects may offer more potential for renewable energy, he said. But at most, Luce said, the land-based wind power projects now proposed in the Northeast could contribute a few percentage points toward the region's renewable energy needs.
Vermont communities, Luce said, "have been torn apart by fights over wind power lately."
Perhaps the worst part of the situation, he said, is that repeated studies show that New Hampshire's only realistic renewable energy source is solar energy. Though that technology needs more development, it shows promise for a substantial contribution to the area's renewable energy needs.
"Despite what we are being told by these companies, solar energy is the only basic renewable energy we have at our disposal; it offers 10 to 100 times as much as wind power to this area," Luce said. "Solar is still a huge challenge, but I am concerned that we do not put all of our resources toward something that won't make much of a difference."

Statement by Vice President Kallas on snow disruption across Europe
Statement further to the meeting with airports (ACI Board Members) following Christmas snow disruption, by Vice President Siim Kallas.
35 000 scheduled flights were cancelled this December due to severe weather conditions.
That's some 7 million passengers and more than the whole of the flight cancellations for 2009.
Volcanic ash is difficult for the aviation industry to predict. But we know that winter arrives every year and we should be ready for it.
There are 5 major areas where I believe that action needs to be taken:
- Clearly, contingency planning for snow at airports needs to be improved.
- We need to ensure better co-operation between all those involved - in the air and on the ground
- We need to ensure the proper functioning of the airline hubs
- We need to provide better and more timely information about delays and rerouting
- And to achieve all that, we need minimum service and quality requirements at airports for our passengers.
Those requirements need to be consistent across Europe. Every plane journey involves at least two airports. It's no good if my departure airport is clear but my destination is snowed under.
We take consistent European standards for granted when it comes to aviation safety – and rightly so. Now we need to do the same for severe weather planning.
Let me stress, that these measures should be devised and implemented by managers and experts within the aviation industry. Not by bureaucrats.
What we can do is strengthen the European regulatory framework, as and where it is needed.
I intend to do that in the Airports package which I will present later this year.
In the meantime we need to ensure that Christmas 2011 is not a repeat of Christmas 2010.
So I have asked the airports, to come back to me as soon as possible with a progress report on contingency planning for next winter.
We will keep you fully informed on that process.

Boulder officially set itself on the path toward creating a municipal electric utility Tuesday night, when the City Council voted 6-3 to approve an ordinance that authorizes the purchase of Xcel Energy's assets.
It was the third and final vote on the acquisition ordinance, as well as the third and final vote on an ordinance declaring that the case for a municipal utility meets the requirements built into the city charter. Those requirements include that the utility offer more renewable energy than Xcel at similar or lower rates.
The vote does not mean Boulder will form a municipal energy utility. It means that in 30 days, when the ordinance goes into effect, city officials will start negotiations with Xcel to purchase the poles and wires that distribute electricity around Boulder, six substations and a high-voltage transmission line that encircles the city.
If, as expected, Xcel does not want to sell the system to Boulder, the city could proceed to condemnation.
At the same time, city and Xcel officials are in talks to flesh out possible alternatives to municipalization that would provide cleaner energy to Boulder. Those proposals consist of new products and services that Xcel would offer throughout the state.
City officials expect to make a recommendation on those alternatives in December. They said the earliest they would move toward condemnation would be January.
After two lengthy debates at meetings July 24 and Aug. 6, the City Council made its final vote with no discussion.
Councilman Ken Wilson, who opposes the creation of a municipal utility, explained his position in an email to the council before the meeting. He said he had numerous concerns with a third-party evaluator's report, which largely supported the city analysis.
"We are essentially being asked to take the Power Services report on faith," he said. "There is no forum for cross examination of Power Services personnel by experts who have had access to the same information. This would never be acceptable in a Public Utility Commission docket, where multiple intervenors, their attorneys and experts can review all the information and cross examine witnesses."
Wilson and council members Suzy Ageton and George Karakehian voted no.
Mayor Matt Appelbaum and council members Tim Plass, Lisa Morzel, K.C. Becker, Macon Cowles and Suzanne Jones voted yes.
Xcel Energy spokeswoman Michelle Aguayo said the vote was not unexpected but was still "unfortunate."
"We have identified numerous deficiencies and overly optimistic assumptions used in the city's analysis and we remain convinced that Xcel Energy can help Boulder accomplish its energy and environmental goals faster, better, and at a lower cost than through the expensive and risky path of municipalization," she said in an email. "Notwithstanding this vote, Xcel Energy will continue to work with the Citizen Task Force and the city to demonstrate this fact."
The City Council also voted 6-3, along the same lines as the municipalization vote, to place a utility debt limit charter amendment on the ballot.
That measure would put a $214 million limit on debt that could be issued to buy Xcel's system and pay stranded costs, but would not address the total debt limit of the utility. It also would allow county residents who are customers of the utility to serve on the utility's advisory board.
The city-backed charter amendment is designed to compete with a citizen initiative with support from Xcel that would require a vote on the total debt limit in an odd-year election and that affected county residents get to vote in that election.

I showed up at the appointed time, and politely waited at the front desk. After a few minutes a lady noticed me, and before I could speak, she said "Oh, glad you're here. Go through the door, and down the hall. It's the 3rd room on the right."
So I obligingly headed that way. I found myself in a room with a few business machines, and no people. An odd place to do a lunch talk, but some offices have very limited space. So I got out my speaker's notes and quietly glanced them over while I waited.
A few people walked by and looked at me, but didn't say anything. Finally the lady who sent me in came back.
Office Lady: "Uh, you can start whenever."
Dr. Grumpy: "But there's no one here yet to give my talk to."
Office Lady: "Talk? What do you mean?"
Dr. Grumpy: "I'm Dr. Grumpy, here to give a talk on Fukitol..."
Office Lady: "Oh, I thought you came to fix the copier."

Another anniversary of Pearl Harbor has come and gone with little attention paid by most Americans.
World War II is to me the last just war in which this country fought — and won.
We did not win it alone, as many Americans like to think, but united with other free nations to defeat a great evil.
Korea is not even considered a war, nor has it ever been declared over, only an armistice. We fought it to prevent Korea from becoming Communist.
Look at that country now, divided and part-ruled by a dictator.
We also fought in Vietnam to prevent a Communist takeover. I think the Vietnamese are far better off than the people in North Korea.
Vietnam now is one of our biggest trading partners and has a thriving economy. We also do not have the cost of maintaining a military presence in the country, like we do in South Korea.
The wars in the Middle East, Iraq, Afghanistan, etc., are certainly not victories for us or the people who live there. We continue to pour money down a rathole when we need the funds at home as our economy falters and our infrastructure crumbles.
The ridiculous embargo against Cuba, just 100 miles from Florida, has hurt the U.S. as much as it has hurt Cuba by denying us a trading partner that is so close — just because it's a Communist nation, like China.

Adam was getting worried, very worried. The list of cathedrals stuck on our fridge door made him groan every time he went to retrieve some milk, as it seemed that each time he looked another one had been crossed off. The collection of cathedral fridge magnets did little to ease his nerves either, and these too only seemed to grow in number as the weeks went by.
Still, he was showing great interest in my progress, which struck me as a little odd considering it was all contributing to his eventual doom. This confidence of his was a little disconcerting, as if he had some ace up his sleeve that would only be revealed at the very last minute. He had long joked about secretly championing the cause of some obscure, isolated church and convincing the Anglican authorities to promote it to full cathedral status, just in time for the very last day of the bet. I did not relish the prospect of making a mad dash to the Orkney Islands or Anglesey, like a cathedral-licking Phileas Fogg.
There was one as yet un-licked cathedral that had us both on edge: Exeter. Although Adam and I are flatmates in London he spends his weekends in the aforementioned Devonshire city, where he shares a flat with his fiancée, Charlotte. Naturally the subject of my trip there was a common topic of conversation, not least because it would be my first visit after repeated invitations over the years. I felt terrible that I hadn't been to see them there in all that time, but now there was a genuine (and pretty unusual) excuse for going. In addition, as part of the revised terms we had recently negotiated, Adam had agreed to give up a weekend to drive me wherever I wished to go on a cathedral-licking foray. Despite his concerns that I would actually win this bet and force him into naked shame, it was obvious that he wanted to join me for at least one of the licking trips to see what all the fuss was about. That, or drive me off a cliff.
We envisaged a blissful weekend of pootling around the South-West, stopping in cosy country pubs and indulging in other such manly pursuits. I had originally toyed with the idea of forcing him to convey me to another un-licked location – Carlisle Cathedral- partly because I was desperate to get it done, also just to piss him off. I had once banned him from using the letter E for a whole day for just such a purpose, and it had been splendid fun. I'm sure he would enjoy our northern jaunt even more.
In the end none of it came to pass, and not just because I had no idea where to get a gun from. Dates were suggested, routes were planned and even pubs were earmarked, but due to our own busy lives we couldn't quite fit it in. This was an awful shame of course. The idea of having my nemesis accompany me on a cathedral-lick was thrilling to say the least, mainly because we each expected some form of sculduggery off the other. Given the fact that Adam and I have both nearly killed each other in the past the chance of this was highly likely, and I would expect nothing less from him.
All was not lost however: Charlotte was in town for my visit, and as Adam's accomplice I could fully expect some kind of devious act to prevent me from getting the job done. In fact, as soon as she met me off the bus her intentions were very clear:
"Pub?" was all she said, and so it was.
We headed to a cosy establishment nearby, where we were joined by Tobias, an extremely likable Dutchman and friend of Charlotte's. He had no doubt been recruited to help dispose of my body, but his first act was to buy me a drink, which was jolly nice of him given the circumstances.
As the evening progressed and the drinks flowed, it dawned on me that this was exactly how I had got myself into this mess in the first place. I made a mental note to go easy on the ciders therefore, but no sooner had this thought crossed my mind than another drink was placed before me. It began to feel like I was to be press-ganged, and that the next morning I would be waking up on board a creaking man-of-war bound for the East Indies, surrounded by grinning salty dogs and with a very sore bottom.
The cider we were guzzling was fiercely strong and the room soon began to spin. Thankfully its effects had done far more damage to Charlotte, whose tongue was loosened by the local brew:
"Adam gave me strict orders to get you too wasted to go cathedral-licking tomorrow! I think I've failed" she said mournfully, staring into her empty glass. Tobias had been given the same instructions but was still relatively sober, enough to do me in down some dark alleyway at any rate, so he assured me. Apparently Adam had become some sort of mob boss during his weekends in Devon, or do it seemed at that moment. He had employed his cohorts to befuddle me with drink and leave me bruised and bleeding on the streets of Exeter, the monster!
As we walked back to the flat through dark streets and a torrential downpour, Charlotte and Tobias made one last attempt to thwart me.
"Well, we should at least show you where the cathedral is, now that we've failed to kill you" sighed Charlotte. Tobias nodded in sad agreement and led the way. Their dejected faces suggested that Adam was to have them shot at dawn for their failure.
We stopped outside a queer-looking construction that was clearly not the cathedral. It was a Christian building alright – it had all the pointy bits and other appropriate anatomy- but the fact that it was painted bright pink was an indication that my friends' story was, quite bluntly, total bollocks. This I told them in a roundabout sort of way, adding that if Exeter Cathedral was painted pink then why was it not the World's most famous house of God? This they couldn't answer and off we went again, staggering through the dark streets soaked to the bone.
I awoke the next morning in a daze. The rain was still lashing down and the prospect of going outside to lick two cathedrals was far from appealing (I had forgotten all about Truro). But such defeatist thoughts would have warmed Adam's heart so up I got. My head and legs seemed to be full of cement, and gravity did its cruel work by dragging them onto every sharp edge in the living room. Bruised and wild-eyed I bade my hostess farewell. She was even worse off than me and in a great deal of discomfort. Poor Charlotte, she had well and truly taken the cider-bullet for her soon-to-be husband, and all in vain. With a smirk of triumph I hit the streets.
Exeter is pleasant little city, much like York with its ancient heritage and attractive buildings. I soon stumbled across an imposing section of Roman wall and the remains of a Norman castle, both of which I thought very fine, in a tumbled down sort of way. The city has taken its fair share of batterings over the years, with Vikings, Normans, Royalists and even the Prayer Book Rebels throwing themselves against its walls. Luftwaffe bombs proved more effective than prayer books during the Second World War when a whole host of historic buildings were destroyed in the city centre. Incredibly, little effort was made to preserve these treasures and in came the wrecking balls in the 1950s, for shame! Now downtown Exeter boasts the country's most generic high street, with only a smattering of eye-catching buildings left. "It's not a beautiful city" Adam once told me, "just a city with a few beautiful buildings."
Thank goodness the cathedral was left relatively untouched. It was not difficult to find and was (to my great relief) not painted pink. During the night I had woken with a start and panicked that Adam and his minions had actually gone to the trouble of painting the whole cathedral in that lurid shade, just to confuse me.
The west front looked particularly delicious (architecturally speaking, of course), with its collection of carved figures much in the styles of Wells and Lichfield. These would have once been painted in bright colours, making for a splendid scene, especially on a dull day like the one I found myself in.
I got the lick done early because a superb sign was to be found by the entrance. Who knew if it would still be there after my tour? The harrowing events at Guildford still haunted me, as did the thought that Adam might try something monstrous and slay me before the job could be done.
The choir was in full song when I entered, which made for a memorable and atmospheric arrival. Their gorgeous voices drifted upwards to the cathedral's greatest glory: the gigantic vaulted ceiling above the nave. A nearby verger whispered that it is the longest and perhaps finest Gothic vista in the world, and it was hard to disagree. Somewhere up there also was a roof boss depicting the martyrdom of Thomas Becket, and I took a moment to reflect on the many miles traveled since that visit to Canterbury months before, when I had stood on the spot where he had died. That had been a wonderful day; there made been many wonderful days on this quest so far, and there would hopefully be many more to come. The simple joy of travel had been re-awoken in me and I was very happy.
In this buoyant mood the rest of this magnificent cathedral was thoroughly explored. Every nook was peeped into and every curiosity examined. I discovered exquisite misericords, one depicting an elephant with hooves (fancy!); an impressive astronomical clock similar to the one in Wells; a 14th-century minstrels' gallery decorated with images of musicians and their bizarre instruments; a gigantic kathedra (bishop's throne) and a multitude of grinning, grotesque carved heads.
My favourite discovery however was a simple hole cut into the bottom of an old, creaking door. This hole, another kindly verger explained, had been made for and used by the cathedral's resident cats. These felines had first been introduced to combat the legion of mice that had been nibbling away at the ropes attached to the bells, out of which the nursery rhyme "Hickory Dickery Dock" was born. The mice are long gone (they must use shotguns now) but the cats remain, and the current custodian showed his face through the hole and gave me one of those withering looks that cats do so well.
Having fully explored the building I got chatting to two delightful old ladies at the gift shop. They were kindness itself and greeted me with heart-warming west country 'ello-moi-dearrr tones. One spotted my York pin-badge and asked me if I had really come all that way to see their cathedral.
"Yes, that I have" I exaggerated.
"Croikey!" she exclaimed "You on 'oliday then?"
"Yes, and I'm visiting all of the Anglican cathedrals in the country as well."
At this the look on their faces suggested that I had just pulled. Did I dare drop the L-word?
"And I'm licking them all, too."
Oh no, what did I say that for?
"Licking them?" one of them gasped, while the other stared at me open-mouthed. "But… why?"
I gave them a hurried and bashful explanation of the bet – the licking, Adam, nakedness, the lot- expecting at any moment to have their sticks render me senseless. They might even tear off the jolly I'VE VISITED EXETER CATHEDRAL! sticker they had just issued me with, which was a mortifying thought. Thankfully their dumbstruck faces soon lit up:
"That's bloody brilliant!" one of them gasped, before checking herself for the curse she had just uttered.
"It is!" the other chirped "Well done, young man, well done!"
Despite their evident enthusiasm they were visibly crushed to learn that I had already licked their cathedral and said they would have very much liked to have seen me in action, for what they called "an historic moment." They were full of questions: how did Exeter taste? Which one tastes the best? How many more were left to lick? I could have happily spent all morning nattering away with them, but my mention of Truro got them all in a fluster.
"Oooo, there ain't many trains going there today, you'd best hurry!" one of them cried.
So, with sounds of encouragement ringing in my ears and a new faith in humanity gained – not to mention another FREE cathedral sticker (I think I pulled) – I departed like a hero into the rain once more and jumped aboard the Truro train. If you ever visit Exeter Cathedral do look out for these two lick-supporting ladies, they truly made my day.

Suspect was dozing in car in South Taft
Kern County Sheriff's deputies woke up a man sleeping in a car on a South Taft street early Monday morning.
They found out he was wanted on an arrest warrant.
Then they found nearly two ounces of methamphetamine with a street value of more than $5,000 on him, according to Taft substation commander Sgt. Martin Downs.
Travis Dale Lansford is being held without bail on drug trafficking charges and several warrants pending his next court appearance.
Downs said deputies from the Taft substation found Lansford, 40, sleeping in a car on the 1000 block of Buena Vista Street about 2 a.m.
When they checked him for warrants, they found he had an arrest warrant for possession of a controlled substance.
Lansford was searched while being taken into custody and the deputies found 55 grams of methamphetamine as well as a loaded syringe, scales and plastic bags, plus $198 in cash, Downs said.
Lansford was booked into the Taft Jail and later transferred to the central receiving facility in Bakersfield.
He was scheduled to make his first court appearance on Thursday in Taft.

The CP asa on/off...could you make it Silver w/a RED knob instead. Also the back plate of the shocker body, could you make that red as well. Everything else will be silver and red as is. Thanks again for your vision/help. It will be greatly appreciated.[IMG][/IMG] [IMG][/IMG] [IMG][/IMG] [IMG][/IMG] [IMG][/IMG] [IMG][/IMG]

This past weekend, Tim Burton kicked off with a bang. Visitors came literally from all over the world to be the first to experience the exhibition and all of the related programs and installations around campus.
The turnout for Tim Burton's book signing on Saturday was huge! The line started at the bottom of the stairs at Wilshire and Spaulding, went all the way east on Wilshire, snaked left at Curson, and stretched almost to 6th Street. Luckily, the weather was gorgeous and everyone waited patiently for a chance to meet the filmmaker.
On Sunday, the exhibition opened to the public and toddlers, children, teens, parents, grandparents, friends, Burton fans, LACMA fans, artists, curiosity-seekers, and the like wandered through the whimsical world of Tim Burton.
For LACMA staff, it was an all-hands-on-deck kind of weekend. Staff and a dedicated group of volunteers helped answer questions, sign people up for memberships, sell tickets, hand out audio/video tours, man the galleries, and generally be ready to help wherever needed.
We loved everyone's enthusiasm and especially loved all the amazing fashion tributes to Tim Burton. Visitors dressed the part from head to toe…
There were even times when visitors themselves almost became a part of the exhibition because of how much their style reflected Burton's aesthetic.
We are very excited that Tim Burton is finally open. Thanks to everyone who was a part of the opening weekend! Check out additional images from the weekend on our Facebook page.

An amendment authored by state Rep. Rob Kauffman that would increase the weekly prize limit from $25,000 to $35,000 for small games of chance was approved Wednesday by the House as part of a bill containing numerous updates to the law.
HARRISBURG — An amendment authored by state Rep. Rob Kauffman that would increase the weekly prize limit from $25,000 to $35,000 for small games of chance was approved Wednesday by the House as part of a bill containing numerous updates to the law.
"My amendment seeks to raise the weekly prize limit so our nonprofit and service organizations have an easier time raising needed funding," said Kauffman, a Republican whose district includes Franklin County. "Many of my local small games of chance operators have contacted me about various aspects they would like to have changed in the current law and this was one of them."
Kauffman's amendment is part of House Bill 290, which would add several long-standing games not specified in existing law and make several regulation updates to the Small Games of Chance Act.
"The Legislature soon realized after we passed the Small Games of Chance Act last year that changes and clarifications would need to be made. We are working, through House Bill 290, to ensure we are providing a clearer system for small games of chance licensees ... as well as allowing for a broader range of games for organizations to use to raise funds," said Kauffman. "I am hopeful House Bill 290 is vetted swiftly in the Senate for the benefit of nonprofit organizations."
Adding Chinese auctions, quarter auctions, race night games, poker runs and vertical wheels as games of chance.
Permitting "card game tournaments" no more than five times annually and not more than one game per week. Prizes are limited to no more than $100 per game, or $200 for a Texas Hold'em tournament.
Allowing a licensee to retain the first $40,000 in games of chance proceeds for use by the club. Once the club reaches $40,000, the current 70 percent/30 percent split of proceeds between charitable donations and general operating expenses begins.
Making it clear that an entity operating solely in the public interest, such as a volunteer fire company, has the ability to retain 100 percent of its revenue from small games for its own use.
Making annual reporting forms available in a paper format that can be filed by mail, instead of only online options.
Changing the time period for which records need to be retained by a licensee, from five years to two years.

ROCKFORD — Garrett Hyser threw two conventional long TD passes. Belvidere also connected on two long hook-and-ladder plays and a reverse wide receiver pass and forced nine Boylan fumbles as the Bucs tried to knock off the No. 1-ranked team in Class 6A to reach the 5A playoffs.
It didn't work, but it sure was fun for awhile in Friday's 50-27 loss at Boylan.
"It was tough with all those trick plays, but once we get our stuff together, we'll stop them," Boylan defensive back Nicolas Flores said.
"It was a little frustrating," defensive end Ian Riggs said.
Riggs frustrated Belvidere (4-5), too. His 65-yard fumble return gave him three TDs on the season and Boylan a 20-7 cushion. After an onside kick to open the second half, a 36-yard hook-and-ladder TD brought the Bucs to within 20-14. A 52-yard run by Demry Croft (256 yards passing, 93 rushing) then made it 27-14.
Boylan then blocked back-to-back punts. Belvidere got a second chance after recovering a quick kick on third down, but Sam McGuire blocked the do-over kick for a safety and Boylan (9-0) pulled away.
"It was exciting doing it twice," McGuire said.
Colton Bahling's 61-yard pass to Chris Colquett on a reverse started Belvidere's early comeback from 14-0 down. But the Bucs, who started their first five drives on their 20, 7, 2, 22 and 18 yard lines, did not score on their next two drives, which started at the 50 and Boylan 28. The one drive the Bucs started in Boylan territory ended with the Riggs fumble return for a TD.
"That really hurt us, but the kids fought back," coach Chuck Leonard said. "There is not an ounce of quit in any of the kids."
"We gave it our all," Bahling said. "Our motto has been Buc tough. We may not do everything right, but we do it with 100 percent effort all the time."
The Bucs held Boylan to 11 yards rushing in the first half and finished with 298 passing.

Daniel Craig :: Bond's 'First Time?'
Homoerotic elements have long been missing from the James Bond series. "Skyfall," in U.S. theaters this week after a record-breaking opening in Europe, may be the game-changer in this regard. As the Hollywood Reporter recently noted, the moment occurs in "a pivotal -- and sure to be talked-about -- scene that finds Bond tied to a chair by Javier Bardem's flamboyant villain character (named Silva), there is a wink-wink, arched-eyebrow exchange between the two, in which Bardem slowly unbuttons Craig's shirt and the famously libidinous agent smiles as he hints at maybe having had previous experience in same-sex carnal relations."
"What makes you think this is my first time?" Daniel Craig tells Bardem as he works his hands over him.
Bond a butt boy? The scene has led many to wonder if 007 had a closeted past because the script was co-written by John Logan, the out-writer of last year's hit "Hugo" and the stage hit "Red." ("Some people claim it's because I'm, in fact, gay but not true at all," Logan told the Hollywood Reporter.)
A gay past?
Craig, also, doesn't see this as indicating that Bond has a gay past. "When asked about the moment last month, star Craig shot down any thought to Bond being bisexual," the Huffington Post reported.
"What are you going to do?" Craig said at a press conference for the film. "I don't see the world in sexual divisions." Craig then added that while some have suggested Bardem's Silva might be homosexual, he didn't agree. 'I'm like, I think he'll fuck anything.'"
For Craig, what makes the scene so memorable is Bardem.
"What's great about Javier's performance is that he plays it for real," Craig continued. "He plays it to the limit and he never forgets he's playing a Bond villain and that's a testament to how good an actor he is. I love that scene. It makes me laugh. I hope it makes you laugh."
Most of the classic Bond villains admire or envy 007 in some way, so it's natural for Silva to add a lusty element. "Skyfall" sure gives Craig a chance to flex. Craig credits the filmmakers with making him look tough when he fights the bad guys.
"I started rehearsing those scenes well before we started shooting and the fight sequences are worked out very carefully - they're choreographed. I'm not a fighter. I pretend to be one. It's called bullshit boxing. But we try and make it look good. We talk camera angle. We talk about how to best take advantage of the situation. We watch and we look. (For instance) we say this fist looks good going into this face... It's a lot of work with a lot of skilled people."
Chasing bad guys
"Skyfall" has an intricate plot about the current security of MI-6 and its vulnerabilities to blowback. It also, of course, Bond chasing a lot of bad guys, something Craig really isn't wild about. "I had to do a lot of sprinting and running in this movie, which I hate. I end up doing a day's filming which on paper should look fairly easy. I don't have any dialogue. It says, 'Bond goes from A to B, then he goes from B to C; but he goes from A to B at a lick. He runs down the stairs, he runs up the stairs. And we had to do 10 takes at a time, so by the end of it [I was exhausted.] Bond doesn't usually walk through a room. Why can't he just gracefully go through? We'll have to change that."
Ever since "Dr. No" and "Thunderball," Bond has frequently had underwater adventures. "Skyfall" is no exception, but the latest technology for shooting under the sea (or rather the tank at Pinewood Studios) gives Craig some added creature comforts.
"Actually, it's actually my favorite bit (of filmmaking) because the great thing about doing those underwater scenes is that no one can find you. When we're not shooting, I swim to the bottom. It's a huge great big tank at Pinewood, like 30 feet deep, and I just sink to the bottom, put the respirator in and hide. It's so great. Sometimes I fall asleep. You can actually get some sleep down there. It's just kind of wonderful being underwater. Then I hear a voice saying, 'Where's Daniel?'"
Back to Fleming
The newer element to the Bond films began in "Casino Royale," which leapt from the original Ian Fleming novel to develop the tortured nature of Bond's persona. "Quantum of Solace" continued his turmoil and "Skyfall" introduces some brand new trauma to 007, which we won't spoil. Craig takes pride in the character and story-telling depths his films have brought to the 50-year-old franchise.
"Nobody told me that we couldn't make an action film with a good story. We always go back to Fleming when we sit and discuss. If you look at the novels, he's so conflicted. Fleming tries to kill him off. He gets really pissed at [Bond]. And he's a killer. He kills for a living. It's really kind of a dark place he goes to. But what I'm so proud about this movie is that the writing is so good." (The script was written by Neal Purvis, Robert Wade and the previously-mentioned Logan.)
"The lightness of touch is back that we wanted so much - I mean I wanted, we all desperately wanted - but you need good writing for that. Hopefully what we've done, we have that and we've combined it with a very emotional story."
That said, Craig put on a brave face when it came to his emotional scenes in "Skyfall." "I don't cry, that's sweat," he joked. "I just think that good action movies have good story lines. We all approached this as filmmakers and therefore the idea was to make the best movie we can. Then there are the Bond rules that apply. We have to stay in those boundaries and make sure that we remember that it's a Bond movie. Again, just harking back to what I said earlier about Fleming: it's in the books. He's complicated."
Perhaps because Craig has such a working knowledge of Bond's characters is shown in the trust the filmmakers have with his input. "They employed me. They know what kind of actor I am. I go, 'I think he's sad here. I'm going to play sad.' If you balance it right, it should work. It doesn't always work; but if you get it right, you get the balance right, you can see into it. I don't think I play him as someone who wears his heart on his sleeve. Most of the movie I think he either thinks he's in control or is in control. It's just allowing those cracks in to see into the character I bit I think is worth doing."
50th anniversary
"Skyfall" marks the 50th anniversary of the James Bond films. "Dr. No" was released in 1962. Some of "Skyfall" was a callback to the classic Sean Connery films, though with a modern touch of course.
"Certainly the conversations we all had at the beginning was (about) it is 50 years. We needed to mark it and to make the best Bond movie we possibly could. To reintroduce and introduce some new ideas but just to celebrate it a little bit. I'd be lying if I was saying we weren't influenced by movies like 'Goldfinger' for sure."
Craig's Bond meets Q (Ben Whishaw) for the first time in "Skyfall," but Q doesn't hand him a set of gadgets like the old days. This Q is a techie, and actually thinks he can do more with his computers than Bond can do in the field.
"It's an interesting point because the fact of it is that people talk about gadgets all the time, but if you look at the original gadgets, what was sexy about them is Bond took out a box, stuck it on a door and pressed a button, the red light came on. That's kind of sexy. It did something, but to have Bond on a computer, at a screen I think is fucking boring. I think technology on the whole is boring, but what I love about this is that we brought Ben in and he is a computer wiz. We have this clash of the two worlds. Together there's a potential there to make a really great team. It just means Bond doesn't have to be dealing with technology. We very deliberately have kept the gadgets simple, and we use them. We don't just sort of put them in extraneously. They're used in the movie and they're actually very important plot points. That's my instinct about them, that we should use them when we need them but not have them for the sake of it."
Two more films
In real life, Craig has put a few of his Bond accouterments to use for good. He offers wardrobe and signed memorabilia to charity auctions, but he's modest about it. "I think if it can do some good then that's great. I keep a few suits, I keep a few shirts, I sign them, I keep them in the collection and when someone asks me to contribute to a charity or an auction event, I just give them and we try to raise as much money. If we can use that power like that I will."
Craig has signed on for at least two more Bond films after "Skyfall." His original contract was for three, and he'd originally been conservative about sticking to a trilogy. Now he's ready for more. "I've changed my mind. I think that when [producers Barbara Broccoli and Michael G. Wilson] approached me originally I was just a little bewildered that they would even come to me. It wasn't really on my radar. Of course I suppose I was concerned about being typecast but when you weigh it up, it's not a bad thing to be typecast as James Bond, is it really? I say that now, yeah. It's easier now. I'm incredibly proud and lucky to be in the position I'm in here. Especially to have made this film when (the series) is 50 years old. As soon as we get the script, I'll be really up for doing number four. Hopefully this'll be a success and we'll have some momentum."
"Skyfall" opens Friday.

"Both my parents were celebrated Olympic and world champion gymnasts in Russia," Liukin says. "They came to the U.S. and started coaching gymnastics when I was a baby. "Because they couldn't afford a babysitter, I was always hanging around in the gym with them while they worked. I used to run around on the bars and mimic the other children and even copy and perform their floor routines at the side of the gym. And that's how I started." Liukin competed in her first Nationals at the age of 12 -; winning gold medals in the junior division of the 2003 U.S. National Championships. But while training, she sustained an ankle injury that later required surgery. That's when she started researching chiropractic care, and found Dr. Vince Scheffler. "Nastia came to see me in 2010," Dr. Scheffler recalls. "We discussed her wellness goals, and I began treatments which consisted of chiropractic adjustments, myofascial releases, and stabilization exercises that helped get her body back to an optimum level." Liukin retired from competitive sport after a fall off the bars during the 2012 Olympic trials, but still maintains her health -; and "balance" -; with chiropractic care.

The Gibby's annual holiday gift shop is a great place to begin your Christmas shopping.
Tired of feeling ashamed for handing your family lackluster Christmas presents because you waited until the last possible day, the day when all the good stuff is off the shelves, which forced you to scrape the bottom of the barrel and give your loved ones gifts you can't even brag about?
If you answered yes, hope is not lost. The Gilbert W. Perry Jr. Center for the Arts is offering a chance at redemption with Small Works, Perfect Gifts — its annual holiday gift shop featuring photographs, jewelry, stained glass items, fabric arts and other splendid handmade crafts and items by local items that are affordably priced.
The opening reception will kickoff today, and the items will be on display through Dec. 24. She's a jewel
Whether you're in love with eccentric or chic jewelry, jeweler Pat Rosenberger, who works in bronze, silver and copper, is sure one of her many pieces — which includes necklaces, earrings, bracelets and pins — will tickle your fancy.
A former assemblage artist, it's no surprise one of Rosenberger's more unique pieces in Small Works, Perfect Gifts is a stylish pin shaped like a kitty's face, designed with found objects. The pin is titled "Go Fly". With most of Rosenberger's pieces bearing great symbolism and meaning, "Go Fly" is no exception.
For starters, the piece was constructed with a key (located on the bottom), a star (in the center) and wings (or cat ears, which are on top). The culmination of these objects is symbolic of when a person uses a key, they can unlock a world to new places and reach for the stars, in which wings will propel them to great heights, said Rosenberger, 57, of Middletown.
Meanwhile, an example of one of her classier pieces that'll appear in Small Works, Perfect Gifts will be a silver bracelet made with freshwater pearls titled "Washed Ashore".
'Hip-hop' jewelry
Though Rosenberger works in copper, silver and bronze, all of her jewelry doesn't reflect traditional colors of browns and grays since she also uses enamel powder to shower some of her works in a rainbow of colors, which includes her custom beret jewelry.
The enamel powder comes in various colors and works by Rosenberger heating her jewelry with a blowtorch, then she pours the powder on her piece and it bonds to it.
Rosenberger thinks the power of the powder is "hip."
"I feel like my enameling is a little like hip-hop," she said.
In fact, whether she's designing fancy or eccentric jewelry, Rosenberger says dabbling in the different styles makes her feel like a music artist. And she refuses to be pigeon holed into one genre.
"If you're a rap singer, all you do is rap," she explained. "I feel like I want to do all genres of music. I do jazz, I do rap — I want to do it all!"
WHAT Small Works, Perfect Gifts opening reception

CHELMSFORD -- An all-girl, rookie Lego League team of five fifth-graders and three fourth-graders from Chelmsford that called themselves "Legolicious" went into their qualifying tournament with the simple hopes of doing well and gaining experience.
The girls -- Jessica Garcia-Bejar, Olivia Dalton, Allison Dorsey, Shea Kenny, Emily Nolan, Emma Reitman, Gabby Sabbouh and Evelyn Thim -- at first met 1-2 times a week starting in August to learn how to program a robot made from Lego products; use science and technology to master skill challenges; work with their senior partners and sponsors from The Summer Palace to identify and develop a product to assist seniors in making life easier; design and perform a skit illustrating their ideas; and execute a series of tasks for a team of judges without adult supervision to prove they have knowledge to back up their product at the tournament.
They had a great time while impressing the judges with their spirit, teamwork and overall performance.
Competing against 23 other teams of varying experience and ages, the girls took an early lead in robot performance that held steady for the entire day and earned them second place. The award recognizes the team that scores the most points during the Robot Game.
The Chelmsford group also received the Teamwork Award, which recognizes the team that is able to accomplish more together than it could as individuals through shared goals, strong communication, effective problem-solving and excellent time management.
That wasn't it, though. The girls were later announced winners of the Champion's Award, the most prestigious award any team can win.
The performance earned the members of Legolicious a spot in the state championship, held earlier this month at Worcester Polytechnic Institute, where they finished 21st out of 84 state qualifiers.
The group could not have done it without the tireless work of their coach, Leon Reitman, and assistant coach, Chris Dorsey. They gave their time to help the girls with building and programming the robot, assisting them to find the right project and presenting it to our senior partners. They also helped find the team's sponsors, FESTO and The Summer Palace.

Sooner than expected, the Camden County Commission sat down to discuss revisions to Planning and Zoning's Article 600.
Sooner than expected, the Camden County Commission sat down to discuss revisions to Planning and Zoning's Article 600. By unanimous vote, the commission decided to table Article 600.
"In my opinion, any forward movement is going to require extensive revision," Presiding Commissioner Kris Franken said. "It's not going to be a very quick fix if we do move forward with it."
Commissioner Bev Thomas echoed Franken's comments.
"I get why we are trying to do Article 600. Legal expenses are very expensive with planning and zoning and this would be a way that we could reduce our legal expenses with planning and zoning," she said. "Having said that, I think it is going to require a lot of revision to what we have been presented. I think it has become very divisive within the county and planning and zoning district."
Before the commission voted, Commissioner Cliff Luber read aloud a written statement which included, "Today, we the people of Camden County, have won. The faithful attendance and vigilance of the citizenry have been made their wishes known at every planning and zoning meeting and articulately spoke of their specific concerns. They have done their due diligence. Public comment in meetings is not about just citizens speaking before any particular board or commission. It is about them instructing their elected officials how they should proceed."
Luber continued to thank the citizens that made their voices heard during various public meetings.
Franken recommended that the commission not discuss Article 600 until it is modified and the commission feels as if it is appropriate to bring it back as old business. If Article 600 remains tabled indefinitely, then, the proposed changes will never go into effect.

And before anyone whines about why are we talking about Perkins on here, 1) He's a former Celtic and we discuss former players here and 2) He's a center and it's not like the Celtics have their own center to talk about. When Perkins joined twitter and with his complete honesty, I knew it would only be a short period of time before he produced something great like this. I guess in Webber's defense he would have a ring if the NBA didn't snatch their title from the Kings in 2002 and give it to the Lakers.

PHILADELPHIA, Pa. - The Duke women's fencing team defeated No. 5 Penn State for the second time this season, upending the Nittany Lions 14-13 at the Temple Duals on Saturday. The win comes two weeks after the Blue Devils upset Penn State 16-11 at the Duke Home Meet on Feb. 10.
The Duke women (16-9) used an 8-1 effort from the epee squad to edge Penn State by one point in the final meet of the regular season. Penn State was one of four top-10 teams the Blue Devils faced at the dual meet, also taking on No. 2 Princeton, a 19-8 defeat, No. 6 St. John's, a 22-5 defeat, and No. 9 Temple a 17-10 defeat.
Led by senior captain Emily D'Agostino, the women's epees went 2-1 with wins over Penn State and Temple. D'Agostino and fellow epee Sarah Collins combined to go a perfect 6-0 against the Nittany Lions, while freshman Isabella Barna won two of her three bouts against Penn State. All three women's epees finished 6-6 against the four ranked opponents.
The No. 9 Duke men (14-8) took on No. 1 Penn State, No. 3 Princeton and No. 5 St. John's and fell to Penn State, 19-8, Princeton, 18-9, and St. John's, 16-11.
"We're seeing some good work out of the younger members of our team, and teammates have had a great 'next man up' approach to injury and sickness this season," head coach Alex Beguinet said. "But they'll need to improve in their execution before they can consistently put together enough collective wins to knock off the top tier opposition. As the dual meet season closes, we'll be focusing on regrouping and polishing each individual's game for round one of the NCAA Championships in two weeks."
The Duke men's sabers, led by senior Anthony Lin who finished 6-2 on the day, took down Princeton 6-3. The foils won 5-4 over St. John's thanks to a perfect 3-0 effort from Michael DeVito and a 2-1 showing from Rod Shayesteh in that bout.
The Temple Duals marks the completion of the 2013 regular season for the Blue Devils, who will send qualified fencers to the Mid-Atlantic Regionals on March 9. Those who advance past regionals will compete in the NCAA Championships on 21-24 where Duke has notched three straight top-10 finishes.

A story of love, passion, and betrayal as seen through the eyes of a teenage boy and the man he later becomes. Henry looks back on his fateful 13th year, when he lived with his reclusive divorced mother. At the start of Labor Day weekend, while on a rare excursion to town, Henry and his mother encounter an injured man who asks for refuge in their home. Over the course of the next four days, they're taken 'hostage' by a man who ultimately captures them, body and soul.
To get showtimes, enter your location to find theaters showing this movie in your area.
Three sleepless nights and a coffee-fueled morning after Labor Day, and I'm still waiting for the kicker. The reversal, the twist, the big reveal that Jason Reitman - a talented filmmaker and prodigious wordsmith who managed such sophisticated character material in each of his previous movies - wasn't actually telling the story I understood it to be. That I missed something altogether, some nectar of honesty buried beneath layers of theatrical pie crust. Owing to the respect I have for Reitman, his starring players Kate Winslet and Josh Brolin, and a few fellow film critics who saw beauty in Labor Day, I'll keep on entertaining the idea that I overlooked the picture's authenticity. But for now, I've got to give benefit of the doubt to my senses - hey, we all have deadlines - and concude: this movie is full of s**t.
This is no victimless crime, as Labor Day sets us up in the household of depression- and anxiety-ridden Adele (Winslet) and her 12-year-old son Henry (Gattlin Griffith), promising a tale we never get to hear. The film jumps right into the former's struggles with stinging mental illness and what appears to be a blossoming Oedipus complex in the latter - in The Wonder Years-style narration delivered by a flu-ridden Tobey Maguire, Henry proudly affirms that his mother is his whole life: he gives her back rubs, runs her baths, takes her on dates, and asserts himself her ad hoc husband to eradicate the loneliness that cripples her so (Clark Gregg plays Henry's absent father, a Buck up, sport type dad who lives across town with his better family). On one of their monthly outings to the Piggly Wiggly, or whatever - the film takes place in a 1987 that you'd swear was actually 1959 - Adele and Henry happen upon Frank (Brolin), a blood-soaked menace on the lam who makes tacit threats at Henry's safety to convince the rattled mother to allow him room and board until he can make a spring for the border.
And then, of course, they fall in love. Once Frank is settled into Adele's spacey Massachusetts two-story, he reveals himself the perfect man who fixes leaks, tends gardens, bakes pies, and whisks the shaken woman out of her decaying shell. It's clear why she takes to him - Frank is a heaven-sent gender reversal of the Natalie Portmans and Kirsten Dunsts and Zooey Deschanels who have fallen from the sky to turn things around for their broken beaus with spontaneity and singing and hamster funerals and cupcakes. In Frank's case, pies. I really can't overemphasize the position of the pies in this movie. They're everywhere.
Past the point of keeping Frank hidden from those pesky neighbors, it doesn't really serve as much concern to Adele - or, far less forgivably, to the movie itself - that he's an escaped con who threatened her son's life in order to earn a place to hide from the cops. Labor Day is not interested in redemption or excuse for Frank; it goes so far as to insist that we're wrong for distrusting him in the first place. But no. This guy, for all his redeeming qualities, is a problem.
Labor Day is even less interested in honing the authenticity of its other adult lead, Adele, who earns Frank's attention for no discernible reason other than that she seemed vulnerable enough to con into taking him back to her place. After that? Guilt, maybe. A knight-in-shining-armor syndrome that keeps him attracted to such an open wound. Just as Frank lives up to the one-dimensional angelicism of the aforementioned heroines of modern cinema, Adele is the counterpart to their boyfriends. Vacant and passive, just waiting to be saved by people who have nothing going on inside of them other than the drive to play savior. On top of that, she's got a pretty volatile emotional illness in full swing. But it's nothing love can't cure, right?
With so much wrong to cover in regards to the movie's central love story, I haven't even gotten to Henry yet: the good-natured, sexually curious middle schooler through who

Members of Conquer Club,
The rivalry continues!
For those of you who don't know what Whac-A-Mod is all about, let me give you some background. Whac-a-Mod is a tradition which began back in February of 2009. This is when a rivalry was birthed between TeamCC and the Community of Conquer Club. Whac-a-Mod is a game challenge event where TeamCC and the Community go head to head in games. The goal of the community is to beat us, "the mods", while our goal is to win to stop you. Each game that either side wins is a point to that team.
Mods create games for the community to join, and the community attempt to "whac" the mods. Your aim obviously is to win and score a point for the community. While our goal is to stop you and win a point for us!
Since the very first Whac-a-Mod in February 2009, we have had two others since then in October 2009 and May 2010. The current score is 2 - 1, to the Mods! What will happen this year?? Will the Mods extend their lead to 3 - 1 or shall the community bring down the hammer on us and tie everything up at 2 - 2 BRING IT ON!!!!!
Up to the challenge? Time will tell if you can beat the coloured names this time around .
Onto the specifics.......
When will the event occur?
- The Mods will be starting games from CC Time: 2011-05-07 00:00:00 and no new games will begin past CC Time: 2011-05-10 00:00:00. This means there is 72hrs of Whac-a-Mod Mayhem in which you can attempt to Whac a Moderator.
- Multiplayer and 1v1 Games
- Moderators will be creating a heap of 1v1 and Multiplayer (Standard, Team, Assassin and Terminator) games throughout the celebration, they could be speed or they could be casual.
Click Here for Waiting Whac-A-Mod Games
Click Here for Waiting Speed Whac-A-Mod Games
Each game will either have a password attached to the label or will have instructions on how you can obtain the password and commence battle. For example a mod might put "Come to Live Chat" which would mean you need to go to live chat to obtain the password, or it might be a trivia question whose answer is the password. Find a game you want to join and have some fun!
Alternatively, the games will appear in your Join A Game tab of your Games Menu. Once inside of the Join A Game section of the site, look inside the Speed Games and Tournament Games areas to find games with the label "Whac-A-Mod 4 May 2011" as those are the ones that will count.
IMPORTANT: In Multiplayer Games (non 1v1), the winner of the game will be credited with the whac. If you eliminate the mod but you don't win the game, you will not receive a medal.
- Casual Team Games
- Casual Team games will be a bit more organised. In the second post there are a whole bunch of casual doubles, triples and quadruples games with a variety of maps and settings, i'm sure there is something for everyone who wants to participate . Please consult the second post of this announcement for details on how to participate in the team games .
- As freemium members are not allowed to play in speed games (unless you have a free one saved up), and since a majority of these games will be speed games, we will from time to time be making "FREEMIUM ONLY" real-time or casual games so that they may participate as well. These games will be marked with "FREEMIUM ONLY" rather than a password. To join these games as a freemium member, please simply post on the wall of the game creator to get an invite to the game. Hopefully this will allow some freemium members to participate as well.
- As there are only a limited number of moderators and a rather large number of public members, we are asking that everyone be courteous and play in only one speed game at a time. If you want to join game after game, that is fine, but please do not join more than 2 games total at once in order to keep spots available to as many people as possible (Casual Team Games are not included in this). Once you successfully whac a moderator, we ask that you step away and let others have their chance at getting a medal, so as to give as many people as possible the opportunity. If you are found to be hogging game slots you may be in danger of not receiving a medal at the end of the competition. All of the moderators will be trying to play as many games as they can manage during the time of competition to give as many people a shot as possible.
The Prize
- For everyone who successfully beats a moderator, they will receive (once all games are complete) a General Achievement Medal to recognise their victory. It will be the same with any moderator who survives a game, they will receive a General Achievement Medal to recognise their victories as well. You will only receive ONE medal regardless of how many games you win.
Please DO NOT PM TheSaxlad, Gilligan or LaughingCavalier for invites into these games. They can only be joined by the methods described below.
- As has become tradition with every Whac-a-Mod, we will be holding a Whac-an-Admin Special.
Three of these games have been held for the past three contests and the Admins have only won 1 out of 3 games:
THREE Whac-an-Admin games (3 triples games) where 9 community members will get the chance to whac-an-admin.
For the game numbers and your chance to get into one of these games, they will be announced at different times throughout the weekend. One game will be announced each day and how to get an invite. Instructions on how to join a game will be posted on Facebook, Twitter and in this thread.
You cannot request to join these whac-an-admin games, you must wait for it to be announced. These are not a part of Casual Team Games in the second post.
The Admins also have a bounty on their heads, if a team manages to beat the admins, they will receive 3 months premium membership for each member of their team.
Ready yourselves, a battle is at hand....... The games will begin at CC Time: 2011-05-07 00:00:00.
As was the case last time feel free to engage in some light-hearted and good-natured trash talk here in this thread leading up to and throughout the competition. Keep it clean though, and keep it civil, this thread will be moderated if anyone gets out of control.
--The Entertainment Team

We've just completed the third week of the 2013 legislative session and approximately two hundred bills have been introduced in the House.
We've just completed the third week of the 2013 legislative session and approximately two hundred bills have been introduced in the House.Most of these bills are still being worked in committee. On Thursday, January 31st the first piece of legislation, HB 2023, was passed in the House. This bill referred to as the Paycheck Protection Act prohibits the state from facilitating Political Action Committee payroll deductions for public sector employees. The intent of the bill is to eliminate state and local governments involvement as bookkeepers for political activities of public sector union members. This bill does not prohibit public sector union members from donating to their union's PAC. Union members who choose to contribute to their union PAC can set up an automatic electronic transfer from their bank account to their PAC fund. The House passed HB 2023 by a vote of 68 to 56. On Thursday, January 31st I was attending a funeral for my uncle and consequentially I was the only person absent for this vote. There are several important issues waiting to be debated on the House floor. Issues that have attracted a lot of attention are Judicial Selection, Second Amendment Rights, Taxation and the Budget. Judicial Selection: There have been several Judicial Selection options introduced in the House that address the nature of the judicial nominating commission. One options to amend the commission include changing the nature of who makes the appointments to the nominating commission. Another options calls for the complete elimination of the nominating commission. This week the Senate passed a bill with the necessary 2/3 majority vote mirroring the federal judicial selection model where the Governor makes the nomination and the Senate confirms the nominee. Another option would allow Kansans to vote for judges. This is the way Kansans initially selected their Supreme Court justices. Any of these options would require a constitutional amendment which takes a 2/3 majority vote in both the House and Senate and would then go to Kansas voters for confirmation. Second Amendment: There is legislation sponsored by Representative John Rubin and co-sponsored by 49 other Representatives, including myself, which is designed to strengthen Second Amendment protection for Kansas citizens. This bill asserts that the Tenth Amendment to our U.S. Constitution guarantees to the states and their citizens all powers not granted to the federal government and reserves the right of the State of Kansas to protect it's citizens from federal infringement of our Second Amendment rights. This bill also declares that firearms, accessories, parts or ammunition that are owned or manufactured commercially or privately in Kansas and remains within the borders of Kansas is not subject to any federal firearm or ammunition law, treaty, regulation, federal executive action or registration program. It declares that any act, law, treaty, order, rule or regulation of the federal government which violates the Second Amendment is null, void and unenforceable in the State of Kansas. This bill would make it a felony for any federal government official to enforce or attempt to enforce any federal act, law, treaty, order, rule or regulation. The bill also prohibits inquiry by any physician, other than a psychiatrist, as to ownership or possession of firearms. In addition to this comprehensive piece of legislation Leavenworth County Attorney Todd Thompson proposed two bills designed to strengthen penalties for the theft of firearms. Currently the theft of a firearm in Kansas is classified as misdemeanors. Todd would like to see firearm thefts prosecuted as felonies.
Taxes & Budget: Kansas legislators are committed to lowering taxes and meeting the requirement to balance the budget with the mandated 7.5% ending balance. As Kansas continues the march towards no state income tax here's a few things to keep in mind. In 2011, when Brownback became Governor and Ron Estes took office as Kansas Treasurer, Kansas had $863. in the bank. Eight hundred and sixty three dollars and a spending deficit of 500 million. In 2011 House legislators adopted Pay Go and supported several of the governor's pro-job, pro-business initiatives. That helped Kansas to turn a 500 million dollar deficit into a 500 million dollar ending balance by the end of the 2012 legislative session. In 2012 we also passed the largest tax cut in Kansas history and that has some folks concerned. Some concerned citizens are asking; How will Kansas make up for the revenue returned to citizens in the form of tax cuts? In 2010 Kansas was dead last in private sector job creation. Today we are 13th Nationally. In 2010 Kansas unemployment was 7%. Today we're at 5.7%. In just the last two years there has been 1,500 new businesses started in Kansas. Last year Kansas broke all previous records by creating 16,000 new private sector jobs. Seventy five percent of all the jobs in Kansas are provided by small business owners. These small business owners have renewed confidence in the direction our state is taking. Kansas has begun the transformation from being a high tax and spend state to a low tax, business friendly, state with spending under control. We are already seeing the positive results from lowering income tax rates for Kansas citizens and small businesses. Simply stated, the increase in economic activities in Kansas coupled with the increase in private sector employment is creating new wealth in Kansas. Increases in economic activity results in increases in sales tax revenue for the state. The governor and many legislators would like to continue the march to no state income tax. The big question is; Will legislators have the resolve to continue the march ? Eliminating state income tax can help us create a vibrant economy, the kind of economy that will enable us to have the revenue we need to support essential government programs. We know this because we can look at other states, test grounds if you will, where the elimination of income tax has proven successful. High taxes can become burdensome and onerous and income taxes are particularly counter productive. Eliminating state income taxes will allow Kansas taxpayers and small businesses owners to keep more of their hard earned cash. Cash they can use in areas they consider essential to themselves, their families and their businesses. Lansing Town Hall; I would like to encourage folks to attend the Town Hall at the Lansing Community Center on February 4th at 6:30pm. The center is located at 800 1st Terrace, Lansing, KS 66043. The Town Hall always begins with good food, good conversation and an opportunity to chat with local legislators. February's guest speakers include Kansas Securities Commissioner Aaron Jack. Aaron will be talking about the Kansas (EFA) Economic Freedom Amendment. This amendment would protect Kansans private property rights by prohibiting the federal government from taking over Kansas businesses through nationalization. Also; Professor Steven Ware will inform us about the Kansas Judicial Selection process and the ongoing efforts to amend that process.-------------------------You can view the schedule for daily House sessions by going to; www.kslegislature.org The votes for that day are listed under the heading, "Final Action and Concurrent Resolutions."

Huskers to Host Nations Best Bowling Team
Beginning Thursday and ending Saturday at Lincoln's Sun Valley Lanes, Nebraska will host the best women's bowling team in the country – Arkansas State – in the Big Red Invitational. Wait … is Arkansas State ranked No. 1 in the latest national poll? No, because Nebraska is ranked No. 1. Why? Because the Huskers beat Vanderbilt last spring in Michigan for the NCAA championship.
"We're ranked first, but it's just a popularity contest," Bill Straub said. "The best team in the country right now is Arkansas State. They're one of eight teams competing here this week, and they're good … real good." But better than Nebraska, which returns four of six starters from its national championship team? "We're not real good yet, but hopefully we will be sometime," Straub said, pausing to explain how "sometime" is most likely to come well after this fall's last tournament and stretch all the way to the Music City Classic next March in Nashville and the NCAA Championships next April in Cleveland.
Straub Views Fall Season Like Spring Practice
Let's set the record straight. Straub approaches collegiate bowling dramatically different than the vast majority of NCAA schools the Huskers compete against. He views fall like Nebraska sees spring football … as a time to work on fundamentals, improve skill sets and establish a lineup that gives the Huskers the best chance to win at the highest level. "We lost two starters who were All-Americans, and we're trying to replace them with freshmen," Straub said. "I'd like to think we're going to be better next spring than we are now. If that doesn't happen, then I'm not doing my job."
At Nebraska, individual development trumps team competition every fall season. "Most schools start competition right away," Straub said. "I've been told they see competition as the best way to build skill level. I'm not saying that's wrong. The vast majority of schools have multiple tournaments in the fall while we limit our schedule to two tournaments. Personally, I'd rather skip the tournaments and hit the tackling dummies at home. We do heavy blocking, day in and day out. The only reason we schedule a couple tournaments in the fall is to give our girls the chance to play against somebody who wears a different colored jersey than they do."
Huskers Return Four NCAA Title Team Starters
For most bowling schools, fall feels like the middle of the season. For Nebraska, it feels like spring training. The Huskers' four returning starters for this week's Big Red Invitational includes Andrea Ruiz, a junior from Bogota, Columbia; Bethany Hedley, a sophomore from Watford, England; Yan Ling, a senior from Singapore; and Lizabeth Kuhlkin, a junior from Schenectady, N.Y. Kuhlkin is the Huskers' only returning first-team All-American. She was also named the NCAA Championship's Most Valuable Bowler last April. April Campbell, a redshirt freshman from Bellevue, Neb., and Emily Nykiel, a redshirt freshman from Collierville, Tenn., fill the open spots, based on scrimmages and competition this fall. The three-day Big Red Invitational begins Thursday at 5 p.m., continues Friday at 10 a.m. and finishes Saturday beginning at 8 a.m.

Don't forget about Jon Embree if the Buffs turn this thing around.
I thought of the former Colorado head coach when his affable replacement, Mike MacIntyre, spoke about about his proven track record as a builder during a press conference on Monday night in the suites at Folsom Field.
Embree, 47, participated in a much more intense and awkward press conference two weeks earlier after being fired with a 4-21 record over two seasons, including the ghastly 1-11 campaign this year.
MacIntyre, 47, was 1-12 during his first season as a head coach and 6-19 through two seasons.
San Jose State -- like CU's leadership three decades ago with another Coach Mac -- gave MacIntyre a third season. The patience paid off as the Spartans finished the regular season 10-2 and ranked 24th in the final BCS standings.
"I could see us improving in every aspect," MacIntyre said of his 2010 San Jose State squad, which was blown out by five ranked teams, lost at home to UC Davis, and escaped with a 16-11 victory over Southern Utah to avoid a winless season. "But what everyone else sees is on that scoreboard."
I'm not suggesting Embree was on the verge of a 10-win season at CU. But I did believe him when he said he was seeing similar improvement and progress behind the scenes that outsiders are blind to in a win-now culture.
"I was brought here to build something. I have one and a half recruiting classes, so to speak. I think they've all represented themselves well," Embree said at his farewell press conference. "I'm disappointed with the results too, on the scoreboard, but everything else that has been done here ... they're better."
MacIntyre, despite what the national statistics suggest, inherits a much better situation than his predecessor did.
Embree is a good coach. Unfortunately, after two years on the job, CU football still didn't have an identity.
The Buffs couldn't run the ball or stop the other team from running the ball. They were defenseless against good quarterbacks and couldn't even settle on a starting quarterback.
When Embree decided to make dramatic changes to his staff and the schemes CU was running, a giant red flag was raised at the Dal Ward Center.
Athletic director Mike Bohn decided to be the one to make a major change.
The original Coach Mac had Embree's back. Bohn believes the current players have their Coach Mac's back.
"(MacIntyre) mentioned in his press conference the players are hurting. They were hurting before we made a change," Bohn said. "It will be important for us to be able to rally them. I'm just so proud of the kids for how they handled themselves through this process. And when you hear this coach talk you begin to see the match, you begin to see the fit, and you begin to see why we are excited."
Buffs fans should be very excited that MacIntyre "cut his teeth" in coaching under current Duke head coach David Cutcliffe, the quarterback savant who coached Peyton Manning at Tennessee and Eli Manning at Mississippi.
Imagine the possibilities if CU's identity moving forward is dynamic quarterback play?
"He said we were going to sling it," freshman quarterback Shane Dillon said with a smile. "We all have been through so much this whole season really. It has been tough on everybody. I think everyone getting a chance to have something new coming in here is going to help a lot."
MacIntyre said the reason San Jose State hired him three years ago was because "they were tired of getting their butt kicked."
Bohn, who lost late in the fourth quarter to Tennessee in the Butch Jones Bowl, knows the feeling.
"We're not going to look back," Bohn said. "We're certainly thrilled and excited that (MacIntyre) is our coach."
We'll never know if Embree could have been a winner at CU had he been given more time. My guess is the $2 million man replacing him will get a third year, and the Buffs will eventually win big again under Coach Mac.
