Skeptical about the prospects of climate legislation in the Senate, energy companies and environmental groups have shifted their lobbying efforts toward U.S. EPA.
Energy businesses want to stop EPA from proceeding with its plan to regulate greenhouse gas emissions under the Clean Air Act, a move expected to come in March. If the agency does decide to impose restrictions, industry wants them delayed until 2012 or later. Meanwhile, environmentalists are urging the agency to move as quickly as possible to regulate major emission sources.
Both sides hope they can have an impact, but lobbying EPA is different from lobbying Congress.
Companies that make campaign contributions to lawmakers cannot do the same with EPA employees. Some key arguments made to lawmakers, such as how legislation would affect certain states, workers or consumer groups, are far less likely to influence EPA. And the agency is limited in how much it can factor in cost as it decides on regulations.
"It's a different ball game entirely," said David Bookbinder, Sierra Club's chief climate counsel. "When you're dealing with Congress, it's a political institution where political considerations loom large in any decision."
"EPA is clear, it is setting its own policy objectives," Bookbinder said. "We have no influence on that."
EPA in March is expected to roll out the first-ever federal standards affecting greenhouse gas emissions from automobile tailpipes. This follows the agency's move in December declaring greenhouse gases a danger to public health. The tailpipe standards would automatically trigger requirements that stationary sources -- such as power plants -- install "best available control technology," or BACT, according to EPA. The agency has proposed a separate rule to shield smaller facilities from those requirements, the "tailoring rule," which is also expected to be in place by March.
A large segment of the energy business, in conversations with EPA workers and in comments filed on EPA's notice of its proposed tailoring rule, is arguing that regulating greenhouse gases under the Clean Air Act will create havoc.
Federal regulations will conflict with state rules, industry advocates said, with many states forced to target carbon emissions from smaller sources that would be affected by the federal rule. As well, there is concern that EPA might try to govern what kinds of power plants can be built, favoring cleaner fuel sources like natural gas over coal.
Companies have realized that EPA is serious about regulation, and not merely making what many thought six months ago was a political threat to push Congress to act on climate, analysts said.
"There was a widespread expectation going into 2009 that this would be the year of domestic climate legislation," said Sam Thernstrom, who worked at President George W. Bush's White House Council on Environmental Quality and is now a fellow at the American Enterprise Institute. "2009 didn't turn out that way."
"EPA is going to move forward," Thernstrom said. "Industry has woken up to that fact. Potentially regulated industries that stand to lose a lot of money here need to pay attention to the regulatory process right now."
Many of those industries are lobbying lawmakers and asking them to rein in EPA. They are expressing support for a proposed amendment from Sen. Lisa Murkowski (R-Alaska) aimed at blocking U.S. EPA's efforts to regulate greenhouse gases.
"It's merely a prudent way to say, 'Let's look before we leap,'" said Luke Popovich, spokesman for the National Mining Association, an industry trade group. "It strikes us as a reasonable approach to take."
Behind the scenes, energy companies and trade groups are talking to lawmakers about how EPA's plan could adversely affect utilities, coal companies, and the oil and gas industry.
"They're lobbying EPA, they're lobbying Congress, and they're hoping either Congress will act or EPA will act," said Jeff Holmstead, former EPA air chief during the Bush administration and now an industry lawyer. "If you get every member of Congress to lobby EPA, they may be forced to deal with it even if they might not otherwise be persuaded to deal with it on their own."
Holmstead, who has lobbied for Duke Energy Corp., Edison Electric Institute, Southern Co. and Arch Coal Inc., worked with Murkowski's staff on the wording of an EPA amendment she offered last fall, the Washington Post reported this week.
Environmental groups, meanwhile, are waging a counter-push. A coalition of 37 environmental, public health and liberal advocacy groups in a letter sent to senators last week urged opposition to Murkowski's amendment ( E&ENews PM, Jan. 11).
"A vote for Senator Murkowski's amendment is a step backward for public health," the letter said. "It puts our communities at risk, undermines the new clean energy economy and inappropriately injects Congress into scientific decisions."
Those companies and groups talking to EPA are likely to hear the agency say that it is limited in what it can do, said Lee Lane, fellow with the American Enterprise Institute think tank. While Congress can pass new laws, he said, EPA is far more limited in authority.
"What they will be saying, I'm confident, is 'Our hands are bound by law here,'" Lane said. "They are simply obligated by the statute that Congress has enacted that governs EPA behavior."
EPA did not respond to several requests to answer questions about how interested parties are approaching the agency on climate issues, beyond the official comments those businesses and groups have made on the EPA's proposed "tailoring" rule.
Influencing Congress
Although EPA is a regulatory agency, politics still factor into its decisions, analysts said. And that is what many in industry are hoping as they talk to lawmakers about EPA.
"In some ways, you lobby EPA by lobbying the Congress," said Lane with AEI. "In some ways, you can lobby it by appealing to other parts of the executive branch."
"A lot of what I would be doing if I were lobbying for industry would be making sure my congressman knew the consequences for his constituency" of EPA regulations, Lane added. "That might be more important or as important as making the same case to EPA."
Popovich with the National Mining Association declined to detail how the trade group is pressing its case on EPA with Congress but said that "one could draw that conclusion" that EPA is "more likely to listen to Congress."
"Some people would make the assumption that certain members of Congress could make a more compelling case than the mining industry," Popovich added.
Career EPA employees advise on new regulations, but the final decisions are made by political appointees, said Thernstrom with AEI.
"It would be naive to think they're not taking their orders from the White House," Thernstrom said. "It would be naive to think the White House doesn't have its eye on the political ball and the election cycle at all times."
The vote on Murkowski's amendment could occur as soon as next week when the Senate votes on raising the debt ceiling. Even if supporters fail to muster the needed votes for passage, the vote alone could have an impact on EPA, Holmstead said.
"If EPA sees and the political leadership sees that there is enough momentum on the Clean Air Act to do something, that can have an impact," Holmstead said, adding that "the whole debate may educate enough people in the administration that they say, 'Hey, this is a problem for us.'"
Industry cautious
The issue of approaching EPA on climate policy is a sensitive one for energy companies, with many of their representatives in interviews preferring to simply restate their opposition to EPA's use of the Clean Air Act to regulate greenhouse gas emissions.
"We've long said that we prefer a legislative approach," said Valerie Holpp, spokeswoman for Southern Co., one of the largest investor-owned utility companies. "We don't believe the Clean Air Act was designed to address greenhouse gas emissions."
Duke Energy also prefers legislation, spokesman Tom Williams said.
"At this point, our focus is on Congress and not the EPA," Williams said.
American Coalition for Clean Coal Electricity, a lobbying group for the coal and railroad industry, confirmed that it has had meetings with EPA but did not want to talk about what it was pushing for at those sessions.
National Mining Association has focused on both Congress and EPA, Popovich said.
"We try to inform regulators. We try to inform members of Congress," Popovich said. "We've been very aggressive in doing that."
In its comments on EPA's proposed tailoring rule, the mining association told the agency that it failed to look closely enough at cost.
"We didn't think that a proper economic assessment was done" on the cost-benefit ratio, Popovich said. "There ought to be mechanisms in place in any control regime that can moderate the cost."
Popovich rejected the notion that EPA is limited by a strict reading of the Clean Air Act, given that the agency has proposed its tailoring rule to exempt smaller sources from new regulations on greenhouse gas emissions.
"Doesn't that signal their creativity?" Popovich said, adding, "EPA doesn't view itself to be in a straitjacket."
If EPA acts before Congress, it needs to find a way to do so with the lowest costs, said Steve Corneli, senior vice president of market and climate policy for NRG Energy Inc., which generates power largely from coal, oil and natural gas but also has two wind farms in west Texas.
That could include phasing in regulations to prevent a slew of power plant shutdowns, he said. Another option could be allowing power plants to generate energy with a small amount of biomass as a way of reducing greenhouse gas emissions.
NRG is a member of several industry groups that are talking with EPA about what could work best, Corneli said. At the same time, the company is talking with lawmakers, pushing for a legislative solution. EPA is likely to have a hard time issuing regulations that don't trigger lawsuits, he said.
"It's likely to be very difficult," Corneli said. "On the one hand, they have to make sure that they're doing everything the Clean Air Act requires. On the other hand, they have to be careful not to undermine the reliability of power plants."
Politics of climate
Environmentalists, meanwhile, argue that industry simply is in a state of denial in lobbying that EPA should not regulate under the Clean Air Act.
"I don't think they're really through the grieving process yet," Sierra Club's Bookbinder said. "This train has left the station. They just don't understand that the regulations are coming."
While the Supreme Court in its 2007 Massachusetts v. EPA ruling said the agency must regulate greenhouse gases as a pollutant, it did not set any time frame for doing so, industry lawyer Holmstead said. Both in conversations with EPA and in comments on the agency's proposed tailoring rule, industry is underscoring that point, he said.
"The one argument industry is making is 'Don't rush into this,'" Holmstead said. "There's no reason to do this. There's absolutely no benefit to moving forward with this."
Interested companies and groups can go in and talk to political appointees at EPA and can bring technical experts to explain why EPA's approach is flawed, Holmstead said. But breaking through is difficult, he said.
"This EPA, they believe they have a mandate to implement the agenda of most of the environmental community," Holmstead said.
"Climate is much more political," Holmstead added. "No one is really sure how it's going to work out. Certainly we are making those kinds of contacts on a number of issues."
Bookbinder disagreed, saying that "unlike with the Bush administration, which simply did what these companies told them to, now the process is far more open. This administration is far more interested in obeying and following the law, rather than finding ways around it."
In many cases, interested parties can influence a federal agency through the rulemaking process, said Ted Gayer, senior fellow at the Brookings Institution think tank and a senior economist at the White House's Council of Economic Advisers from 2003 to 2004. Sometimes the agency in its proposed rule will in effect ask for help, saying it is asking for input on the best way to resolve an issue. If the comments are 10 to 1 in favor of an approach, he said, that might sway an agency.
Climate policy, however, is very different from most other issues, Gayer said, because so many people are interested and have such different views.
"The only way I think you have a significant effect on EPA," Gayer said, "is through the courts."

With the explosion of genetic genealogy, surname projects took a huge leap in value to family historians. A DNA surname project can now map out genetic trees and branches among people with a common surname or DNA matches. I have personally benefited from a surname project. I was able to obtain a place of origin in Ireland (Co. Laois) for both my Bowe and Kelly families because of the assistance provided by the Bowes DNA project and One-Name Study.
Martha Bowes is the hard-working (volunteer) Administrator of the Bowes (and variants) DNA Project and registrant of the Bowes (and variants) One-Name Study. Martha also maintains the Facebook page for the study and project. I am a member of various surname/DNA projects, but have not found any that are as comprehensive and as well maintained as those run by Martha. Hers are the finest models I have encountered for surname and DNA projects.
Martha was kind enough to take the time out of her busy-beyond-belief schedule (does she sleep?) to answer my questions about surname studies and DNA projects. Her explanations illustrate the huge potential of surname projects and provide a guide for persons thinking of launching such studies for their surnames.
Thank you so much, Martha! Links to online resources follow the interview below.
Deb: Under the auspices of what organizations is each group based?
MARTHA: My one-name study is registered with the Guild of One-Name Studies, an organization founded "to promote high-quality documentary one-name research." The Guild provides -- through many services and facilities -- an enormous wealth of experience and guidance.
My DNA project is administered through Family Tree DNA, the largest genetic genealogy company for conducting Y chromosome research into a surname. They extend discounts to my project participants for ordering a test through the surname study, and provide me with an unparalleled range of advanced, online tools for organizing and interpreting the data.
Deb: Briefly explain the purpose/goals of the a) the DNA study group b) the One Name study group?
MARTHA: While traditional genealogy zooms in on a particular pedigree, one-name studies zoom out on a surname generally, encompassing all of its lineages. The central aims of a one-name study are data collection, analysis, synthesis, responding to inquiries, publicizing, publishing, and safeguarding and preserving the study.
The DNA project is part of the one-name study. With a surname as frequent and complex as Bowes (and its variants), the DNA project is an essential tool to complement documentary research. It will take years to reconstruct the family trees (we are making some progress!), and even when it's "complete," it won't always be clear what families are related to which other ones.
The Y chromosome -- serving as a sort of ID tag for a given surname line since the two transmit largely unchanged from father to son over centuries -- provides a reliable means for bridging many of those gaps. Families whose males match on the Y chromosome are related. That allows us to group families into subgroups by DNA, which in turn can provide participants with new family research ideas. Meanwhile, these subgroups help inform inquiries into surname origins, frequency and distribution.
Deb: Describe briefly any databases/spreadsheets for each that you maintain.
MARTHA: Currently, thanks to the generous contributions of some other researchers, we have work-in-progress spreadsheets of over 3000 records from throughout Ireland and over 1500 records from Durham/North Yorkshire, England.
In addition to these documentary resources, I am gradually reconstructing family trees and connecting lineages where possible in a gedcom database. I'm able to consult the spreadsheets others are working on to provide primary source documentation for the information in the family tree database.
My ever growing contacts database is now over 250 people, cross-referenced into groups based on country and county of origin, where emigrated, DNA subgroups, Facebook page and the like, with pertinent notes saved in the individual records.
Finally, our DNA Project includes a chart showing our participants' Y chromosome results in matching groups, while its administrator tools include more detailed data about each participant's matches and haplogroup.
Deb: Have you had any notable successes or made any interesting discoveries in either the DNA or One Name Study group?
MARTHA: We're beginning to have enough data collected to make determinations about some of the true variants of the Bowes name, where a branch assumed a new spelling, as opposed to rogue spellings found in the records. For example, so far, Bowe in England is not a variant of Bowes there, while Bowes in southern Ireland is a variant of Irish Bowe, and distinct from the Bowes of England.
Using surname mapping techniques it's become clear that the geographic origin of the English Bowes name is not around Bowes village in Durham, as most would suspect, but in the area of Helmsley. In Ireland, the geographic origin of the Bowe standardization of earlier Irish versions of the name is the Kilkenny/Laois border area.
The DNA project is firming up some significant subgroups for Ireland. One exhibits the Y chromosome signature of the O Carroll clan of Ely Carroll from Offaly and northern Tipperary. This is one of fewer than 20 old Gaelic chiefly families for whom the blood line can be traced to our times. Several scenarios could explain why this Bowe subgroup is carrying the O Carroll Y chromosome. We don't have enough participants with English background to begin seeing subgroups yet, but they are beginning to emerge.
Deb: Any advice for other administrators, or for others thinking of setting up a DNA or surname study?
MARTHA: For one-name studies, without question, join the Guild of One-Name Studies for its small annual fee and be on their mailing list (just one of many offerings). I don't think there is any other place where you can obtain so much help by so many bright minds knowledgeable in this field.
Similarly, if you run a DNA project, the International Society of Genetic Genealogists is your go-to organization (free) with a mailing list to draw from others' experience.
I would use these groups as launching pads for other resources that are best suited to your particular study as it begins to take shape.

Happy Ever After?
Edward and Bella have been in some tough times. When someone recognizes the Cullens don't age, what happens? Go along their journey of their life after Breaking Dawn.
This story was on Fanfiction.net, but i deleted that account a while ago. I decided to post this story here :) OH, and by the way...if you are a Jonas Brothers fan check me out at Jonasbrothersfanfictionarchive.com. I use the same name. I would love reviews on my stories there, too.
1. Introduction
Rating 5/5 Word Count 1835 Review this Chapter
Bella's POV
Finally, Edward and I have a happy life together, forever. I couldn't help but to put a big smile on my face.
Edward seemed to notice. "Why are you smiling?" He, of course, asked me this because he was not able to read my mind unless I allowed him to.
"Edward, I'm just excited for the life we have together." I told him smiling even bigger than before.
Just then he came closer to me and held me in his arms, and he smelled better than before. "I'm excited, too."
All of a sudden, I had a craving, a craving for blood. Like all other vampires, I had to hunt in order to quench my thirst. Unlike most vampires, I and the rest of the Cullen family were vegetarians, or vampires who only hunt animals. "Edward, can we go hunt soon?" I asked hoping that he would say yes.
Edward looked at me and he put on a very attractive smile. "Of course, How about we go this Saturday with some of the family?"
I wanted to go alone with him, but since we got forever I didn't mind if we could use one Saturday with the family hunting. "Sure…I guess that's fine with me."
Edward noticed, by the tone of my voice that I wanted to go alone together. He was a pretty good guesser because I was like an "open book" that he could easily read. "If you really want to go alone, then just tell me because we haven't even planned it with the family."
I was happy that Edward saw it my way, but I was set on going with the family already. "Edward, its fine, I actually changed my mind and I want to go with the family."
Edward immediately changed his expression to a serious one. "What will we do about Nessie? Where will she be?" He asked in a sort-of panicked way.
I was calm and I knew that Jacob could watch her while we hunt. "Edward, remember Jacob? He could easily watch her while we are away. He would take any opportunity to just be near her."
"You are right." Edward agreed with me and walked across to the other side of the room.
At that moment, Alice came running in. "I can't believe we are going to go hunting together! You guys are so great! Don't worry, I have already told everyone about it and they seemed ok and pretty excited about it." She rambled on with a huge smile on her face.
Edward gave a small chuckle. "It's so great to know that you already figured out the plans before we told you."
Edward's POV
I started to read through Alice's mind and I noticed that she just got a vision.
(Vision) "Edward! How could you!" Bella shouted then slapped my arm
It was a strange vision and I immediately stopped reading Alice's mind.
Alice returned back to normal and she looked at me with a glare. "Did you read my mind again?"
I was caught red-handed so I had to tell the truth. "Well…yes."
Of course you always read my mind. Why can't you just give me a break? Alice had a face that was between annoyed and mad.
Bella, suddenly, rushed to me. "Edward! How could you!" Bella shouted then slapped my arm.
"I saw that coming!" I said with a loud voice.
Bella smiled. "Let me guess, Alice had a vision about me slapping you?" she guessed very intelligently.
Alice looked at me like she was going to tell me something. OK, Edward. Let's go. Tell Bella that she could spend some time with Jacob before we move.
"No." I said with a very serious face on. "Not right now because she-"
Let me guess, she doesn't know! Edward, its either you tell her now, or I do. She needs to know so she could say goodbye to her friends and family. Also, you need to work something out with Jacob because of Nessy. You better handle this the right way and right now.
I didn't want to tell Bella that we would have to move in a week because I knew she was going to be mad at me. It was wonderful that I had to leave this at last second. I looked up at Bella and she was staring at me again, like always. "Bella, we have to talk about something that is very serious."
Bella had a confused face on so she probably meant 'what?' "What, Edward?" she asked.
"Let's go talk in a different room. I think I would feel better if there was no negative influence in this room. " I said with the most polite expression I could make without insulting Alice.
Negative Influence? Hah, Bella would still be angry at you for leaving this whole thing at last second. Whatever, I'm gone and you better make sure that you don't hurt Bella while you do this! Even if se gets mad! Then Alice left the room.
"Ok, now since she's gone. What did you want, Edward?" Bella asked with the most adorable face I have seen. I didn't want that face to be replaced so easily with an angered face, but I knew that I had to do this.
"Bella, something came up and well, we have to move out of forks." I told her trying to not make her cry.
Bella's POV
We have to move! God that's great! "Why do we have to move?" I asked very confused and curious at the same time.
Edward had a disappointed smile on his face. "It had come into account that some people have been noticing that we do not age. You can say goodbye to your father and your other friends, but we really have to go. The sooner we leave, the bigger the chance our secret will stay a secret."
Ok…Jacob would kill me. If he didn't, then Renesme would. I was so confused. I had to tell Jacob something. He would definitely notice if we just left spontaneously. "Edward, what will I tell Jacob? You know that he imprinted on her. Well, everyone knows, but he won't like it when we move and take Nessy with us. I won't like it when we move and don't take Nessy with us. This is a bad situation." I rambled on to Edward hoping he would catch every word I just said.
Edward slowly came closer to me. "It will be all right. I will try to work something out with Jacob. Just tell him to meet up with me in the forest, tonight. If he tries to do anything bad to me, we will just leave immediately. Tell him that."
I looked at Edwards's face which was the most beautiful thing I have seen other than Renesme. "Do I have to go right now?" I asked wondering why he would send me to deliver a message when he could so easily do it himself.
"Yes, Bella, please go now." Edward said with a face that convinced me to go.
I left the room and started to head over to Jacob's place. I just hope he would be in a good mood and, at least, consider what Edward had planned to do.
Jacob's POV
"Jacob! Jacob, get me and Charlie another beer." Billy shouted at me. He seemed to be really enjoying the new TV that the Cullens gave to us. I told them that we didn't need it, but Billy seemed to be persistent and he gladly accepted it. I think it was to make Billy approve of them more and it definitely worked.
"All right, all right, I'm coming." I called out to them grabbing two cans of beer and going to the living room with it. "Here." I said handing them each a can of beer.
Charlie seemed to be really quiet today, and he just mumbled when I gave him his can. I had to wonder if something was wrong. I was confused, but I decided to go outside, so I could avoid whatever they were going to do next. I was lonely and all I was doing was looking at the road just expecting something to come.
Suddenly, a very fast figure approached and stopped dead in front of me. It was Bella. "Bella, what are you doing here?" I asked confused but happy because she hasn't been at my house for a while now.
Bella looked disappointed. "Jacob, I have news. Edward wants to have a talk with you in the forest."
I was really confused. Why would Edward suddenly want to talk to me? Why now? I had to figure out why. "What? Tell me when, and why." I demanded wanting to know.
Bella sighed and then she said, "Tonight, at twilight." Then she immediately ran off before I could even take a second chance to hear what she said. All I could make out was twilight. It probably meant tonight.
Edward's POV
"Where is she? Did Jacob do something to her? Cause if he did, that would have been the last thing he ever did." I said panicking and pacing back and forth.
"Edward" someone called out and I immediately put my head up. It's just me, Emmett. Anyway you need to calm down about Bella. You know that Jacob won't even dare to lay a finger on Bella if he knew he was going to hurt her. If you don't calm down now, I will make Jasper calm you down.
At that moment, I stopped panicking. I was still worried but I tried to not show it so that Emmett won't have to bring Jasper in this situation. Tonight was going to be an interesting night, and I had to figure out what to tell Jacob. I looked at Rosalie and she was having fun and playing with Renesme. Renesmee looked like she was about eight or nine years old. Then Renesmee saw me looking at her. "Dad, do you want to join me and Auntie Rose?" She asked.
I didn't want to join them because I had things to do. I had to let her down easy so that she won't be too sad. "Sorry Nessy, Daddy has to do something when your mother gets back which will be in a few minutes." I said like a very responsible father figure.
Nessie just smiled and returned to playing with complaining one bit. She probably understood what I meant. A few seconds later, Bella appeared right in front of my eyes. "Edward, I told him, I would have stayed a little bit longer, but I could smell my dad's scent there and I didn't want to tell him while he was with Jacob."
"Ok, everything is settled, now. I have to go get ready for tonight." I said leaving the room to head to my bedroom. I had some time to think of what I was going to say.

I'd like to find some good places in the Boomfield/Thornton/Northglenn area. Any suggestions?-Joel.
For Vietnamese food, my friend (who is Vietnamese) always takes me to New Saigon, which is up by Federal and Alameda, or one of the numerous Pho places...I think the best one for that is called Pho '76, which is in Colorado Springs. But I'm sure the Denver ones are pretty decent too.
damn, you guys are making me hungry.How about doing a GTG at one of these restaurants soon.
Japon (Wash Park, on Gaylord) - awesome fresh sushi, cool atmosphere, just like Sushi Den, but not as pricey and without the attitude. The only place I would order raw shrimp with complete confidence.Hapa Sushi (Cherry Creek) - Transformer Tokyo-urban techno atmosphere. Creative rolls.
New Saigon is great - Never get pho there, not because it is bad (I'm sure it is wonderful), but because they have such an extensive menu of other items. Save the pho for a pho place.
Thai Bistrol - At Kipling and Bowles has the best garlic and pepper chicken I had ever had any where and I get it Hot, but not Thai hot! I would recomment against the Thai hot unless you have something to prove like I did one night
Waffle House - At C-470 and Broadway. I love the character of the people and its quick-n-greasey all american food
The 'pec is great. They pour a nice glass of whiskey, and the food is supposed to be good too (never tried it.)Dive-wise, the Old Curtis St. Bar is also pretty entertaining (21st and Curtis.) The Satire Lounge on Colfax is also kinda fun. I also like the Streets of London. Not really a dive, they have London Pride on tap and all.-Joel.

Being cleared to play and being ready to do so are reportedly not the same for Derrick Rose.
Citing an unnamed team source, ESPNChicago reported on Friday that the Chicago Bulls' star point guard has been cleared to play by his doctor. But Bulls coach Tom Thibodeau told K.C. Johnson of the Chicago Tribune on Friday that the timetable for Rose's return from a torn ACL suffered in his left knee during the 2012 NBA Playoffs "hasn't been finalized yet."
According to the ESPNChicago report, Rose told the team that he won't return to the Bulls' lineup until "he can confidently dunk off his left foot."
When the 2011 NBA MVP got fans excited by dunking during warmups before a Bulls-Thunder game in February he jumped off his right foot. Nearly two weeks before throwing down that pregame dunk, Rose talked about the possibility of not playing at all this season.
"If it's where it's taking me a long time and I'm still not feeling right, I wouldn't mind missing this year," Rose said. "I would love to play this year. I would love to. That's why I approach my rehab and my workout so hard. I'm trying to get back out there on the court as quickly as possible. But if I have anything later on there's no point."
DEERFIELD, Ill. (AP) — Injured Chicago Bulls superstar Derrick Rose is "not quite" ready to return from his knee injury, coach Tom Thibodeau said Friday.
The former MVP point guard continues to practice without restrictions, but his return from a torn anterior cruciate ligament in his left knee remains up in the air.
"We'll see when he's ready," Thibodeau said. "He's getting there. He's not quite there yet."
ESPNChicago.com reported Friday that Rose's doctor has cleared him to play, but he has told the team he won't until he can dunk with confidence off his left foot. Thibodeau said a decision "hasn't been finalized yet."
Asked if Rose would be allowed to play if he felt he was able, Thibdodeau said, "We'll cross that bridge when we get there. We're just going day by day." He was also noncommittal when asked if he expects Rose to play this season, saying the Bulls are prepared either way.
"Definitely getting stronger and stronger every day," guard Nate Robinson said. "Hopefully, he's right on time and right on schedule. He'll be back when he's ready."
Rose tore the anterior cruciate ligament in his left knee in last year's playoff-opener against Philadelphia, sending the top-seeded Bulls toward a first-round exit, and his recovery has been an ongoing soap opera, particularly in recent weeks.
He first said in an interview with USA Today in February that he was "far away, far away" from being ready, then told a group of reporters that he won't rush back just to play this season if he isn't ready. Rose began participating in five-on-five drills in practice and sitting on the bench during games. But his reputation took a hit when his older brother Reggie ripped the Bulls in an interview with ESPNChicago.com, saying the team's decision to stand pat at the trade deadline could be a "big factor" in whether Derrick returns this season.
Rose obviously has to feel comfortable that he's ready to return, but the decision is not his alone.
"There's a lot of people that have to decide," Thibodeau said. "Obviously, he's the most important piece. From (chairman) Jerry (Reinsdorf) on down, everyone has to sign off on it."
Without Rose, the Bulls were sixth in the Eastern Conference at 34-27 heading into Friday's game against Utah. They were also missing several other key players, with Thibodeau saying Taj Gibson (knee), Kirk Hinrich (foot) and Richard Hamilton (back) would not play against the Jazz.
As for Rose's return, the wait continues.
"There are a lot of kids out there that would love to see Derrick Rose come back and play," Robinson said. "He's a role model. Everybody looks up to him, including my kids. My son asks every day, 'Dad, when's Derrick coming back?' I'm like, 'I don't know.' It's funny. Derrick's sitting right next to me on the flight, so when I Skype my son, I take a little peek. He's like, 'There he is, let me talk to him.' I'm like, 'You can't talk to him, just let him be.' But (Rose) is working extremely hard, and that's one thing I definitely respect about him. He's very humble and he works extremely hard in the game that he loves."

DEPARTMENT OF EDUCATION POLICY AND PROGRAM STUDIES SERVICE REPORT HIGHLIGHTS Evaluation of Title I Accountability Systems and School Improvement Efforts: Findings From 2002-03
BACKGROUND This report examines the implementation of Title I accountability systems and school improvement efforts at the state, district and school levels. Based on surveys of all states, a nationally representative sample of districts, and a sample of schools,1 this report presents findings on the implementation of key accountability requirements under Title I of the No Child Left Behind Act (NCLB) during the 2002-03 school year. As the first full year that NCLB was in effect, the 2002-03 school year represented a period of transition for state and local educators as they worked to implement accountability systems aligned with NCLB. FINDINGS Title I Schools and Districts Identified for Improvement. In 2002-03, 6,000 schools were identified for improvement under Title I, representing 13 percent of all Title I schools nationwide. These identified schools and their districts remain the focus of many of the school improvement requirements under Title I of NCLB. Identified schools. The Title I schools identified in 2002-03 represent a relatively small proportion of Title I schools (13 percent) and were located in a relatively small proportion of districts (16 percent). Identified schools were more likely to be located in urban and high-poverty districts than in rural and lower-poverty districts. Many were also located in small districts. Districts with identified schools. Most districts with identified Title I schools had very few identified schools. Over half of districts with identified schools (58 percent) had only one identified school and another 15 percent had only two identified schools. School Improvement and Assistance for Identified Schools. Efforts to support identified schools, as required by NCLB, were in place in many states, districts and schools. However, not all identified schools received assistance in 2002-03. Thirty-eight percent of schools in the study reported they received assistance from a school support team, principal coach or mentor, or distinguished teacher. In addition, data suggest that factors other than need influenced the assistance schools received. Focus of school improvement efforts. Many identified schools and their districts reported that they were implementing school improvement strategies consistent with NCLB. Among the study's identified schools: • Ninety-three percent reported school planning, as required by NCLB for identified schools.
In 2001-02, the study's sample of identified schools was nationally representative. For 2002-03, the sample is the subset of these schools that continued to be identified in 2002-03.
• •
Eighty-five percent reported using student achievement data to inform instruction. The percentage of continuously identified schools citing the use of student achievement data as a major focus area for school improvement increased to 86 percent in 2002-03 from 75 percent in 2001-02. Eighty percent reported working to align curricula with standards and assessments. Many also implemented new curricula in reading/language arts and mathematics and/or school reform models (58 percent, 48 percent and 45 percent, respectively). However, these efforts tended to be applied district-wide rather than targeted to identified schools.
State and district assistance to identified schools. Most states and districts reported providing assistance to identified schools, although a third of states did not report having the statewide systems of support defined by NCLB. Many identified schools did not report receiving outside help, which suggests that districts and states may have had limited infrastructure to support identified schools. • Twenty-eight states organized school support teams, distinguished educators, or both to provide assistance to identified schools. A total of 39 states reported that they also provided other forms of assistance such as professional development and assistance from regional agencies. Nearly two-thirds (61 percent) of districts reported providing support teams, principal coaches or mentors, or distinguished educators to assist identified schools. Nine percent of schools that continued to be identified in 2002-03 were located in districts where neither the state nor the district reported offering any of these forms of on-site assistance.
• •
Variation in assistance. The assistance that identified schools received varied by district characteristics and within districts. • For example, three-quarters of urban districts (75 percent) provided school support teams, distinguished teachers and/or principal mentors to their identified schools compared to only half (49 percent) of rural districts. Two-thirds (64 percent) of very large districts provided additional full-time staff to support teacher development in identified schools whereas only one-fifth of small districts provided such assistance. Although districts reported providing a range of assistance to identified schools, they seldom reported that they targeted assistance and interventions only to schools identified for improvement, though duration or intensity of types of assistance may have been targeted. Considering 8 technical assistance strategies, including those mandated by NCLB, most districts that provided such assistance to identified schools reported providing the assistance to all of their schools.
Public School Choice and Supplemental Services Under Title I. In many districts where offering Title I school choice and supplemental services to students in identified schools was required in 200203, these choices were offered; however, in some of these districts, school choice and supplemental services were not offered for a variety of reasons. Small numbers of eligible students participated in Title I choice and supplemental services in 2002-03, though participation rates were higher for supplemental services. Student participation. Approximately 1 percent of students eligible for Title I school choice transferred to a different school (18,100 students) and approximately 7 percent of students eligible for supplemental services received services (41,800 students). Seventy-seven percent of districts
offering Title I choice had nine or fewer students transfer. The median number of students receiving supplemental services in the study's schools where supplemental services were offered was 24 per school. District and school implementation. About two-thirds of districts required to offer Title I choice in some of their schools actually did so. These districts included 84 percent of the 6,000 schools required to offer Title I choice in 2002-03. About half of districts required to offer supplemental services in some of their schools did so. These districts included 58 percent of the 1,300 schools required to offer supplemental services. Districts that did not implement Title I choice and supplemental services as required were predominantly small, rural and poor. Barriers to implementing choice and supplemental services in 2002-03. For both choice and supplemental services, several factors may have hindered implementation and student participation.
For Title I choice, 55 percent of districts required to offer Title I choice notified parents about the choice option after the beginning of the 2002-03 school year. In addition, the numbers of choice options available at the middle and high school levels were more limited (on average, 2 and 1 alternate schools, respectively) compared to elementary schools (with an average of 6 alternate schools available). Limited numbers of supplemental services providers hampered implementation of supplemental services in 2002-03. The median number of providers in districts reported offering supplemental services was 2. Fifty percent of districts required to offer supplemental services cited lack of providers as a challenge to a great extent, and 23 percent reported no approved providers in their area. However, 30 percent of districts said lack of providers was not a challenge. Some factors emerged from parent focus groups that may have contributed to low participation rates, including parents not wanting to transfer their child to another school, concerns about transportation, late and inadequate parent notification and limited choices.
Corrective Actions and Restructuring. Districts have only limited experience implementing the range of corrective actions in NCLB. Corrective actions and restructuring were not commonly required in 2002-03. Only 4 percent of districts (about 380) reported having schools identified for improvement for three years or more. The most common actions taken by districts were more supportive than punitive, such as extending the school day or year, implementing new curricula and appointing outside experts to advise schools. Less common actions included reassigning or demoting the principal, replacing all or most of the school staff and contracting with a private management company.

Breakfast at Tiffany's a bit different
Added May 10, 2012
by apfelbluete
Duesseldorf, Ger...
Everybody knows the movie "Breakfast at tiffany's" with Audrey Hepburn. And usually every one thinks of the long black dress or the shorter one with the bouquet feathers for the party in connection with Holly Golightly. And I'm sure that only a few people noticed how beautiful the pullover is she's wearing in lots of scenes!
But why am I telling you that? I needed a vintage top for my Bridgitte Bardot trousers.
And what fits better than this pullover?
Luckily I already had vintage patterns from the 50s. Actually it was coincidence, because I only bought them because of the trousers (still in work).
In July 2011 I cut a trousers from "123 Burda 06/2011".
First I thought it wouldn't take much time, but it didn't meet my requirements. That's why I trimmed it about 50 times in the hope to be able to correct the fit through working on the trousers, not the patterns. In the end I trimmed them apart into 4 pieces and cut them like my perfect trousers from the 50s.

NHIAA Roundup: Memorial, Central post hockey wins
January 02. 2013 10:30PM
Brady McNulty's first two goals of the year proved to be the difference Wednesday as Memorial High of Manchester passed a big early season test by knocking off previously unbeaten Concord, 3-2, at Everett Arena in Concord.
"Anytime you go on the road to Concord and come away with a win, you're excited," Memorial coach Mark Putney said.
The Crusaders (4-1) jumped out to a 3-0 lead behind goals by Nick Burgess and McNulty in the first period and another by McNulty midway through the second. The Crimson (2-1-1) got one back in the second on a goal by Adam Godbout and made it 3-2 when Godbout scored again midway through the third. They were the second and third goals of the year for Godbout.
Memorial senior goaltender Josh Jacob protected the lead with several of his 17 saves coming in key moments late in the game.
Central 8, Exeter 6: At Manchester, the host Little Green stayed undefeated (4-0) with an high-energy attack at JFK Coliseum. Senior Austin Sprague completed a hat trick with the game's final goal, and Trevor Malmgren scored two goals for Central. Tyler Stratton had a goal and three assists for the winners. Chris Michaud scored twice for Exeter (1-3).
Dover 3, Oyster River 1: At Dover, Mitchell Welch scored twice, including the game-winner in the third period to lift the Green Wave (3-1) past the Bobcats (2-1).
Berlin 4, Souhegan 3: At Berlin, the Mountaineers (5-0) won this matchup of two of the top teams in Division III as goals by Justin Vien and Mike Lemoine closed out a wild second period that saw the two teams combine for five goals. It was Vien's second goal of the game. The Sabers (4-1) had tied the game at 2-all when Matt Wislon and Mike Hayden scored 22 seconds apart. Connor Jewett figured in all four goals for the Mountaineers with a goal and three assists.
Girls' basketball
Londonderry 78, Merrimack 42: Aliza Simpson scored 17 points, and the host Lancers sank 10 3-pointers in a rout of Merrimack on Wednesday night. Jaime King drained three shots from long range and had 11 points. Jordan Marett chipped in nine points as Londonderry improved to 4-1. Kate Cole and Kaitlyn Petrocelli each had 11 points for Merrimack (2-4).
Bishop Guertin 57, Manchester Central 28: In Manchester, the Cardinals (4-1) built up a 35-12 halftime lead against a very young Central (0-5) squad. Meghan Green netted 24 points in the win.
Amanda Gaudreault led the Little Green with eight points. Nicole Hayner had two three-point field goals and finished with eight points for BG.
Goffstown 60, St. Thomas 56: In Dover, the Grizzlies (5-0) snapped a 54-54 tie with six free throws, two each from Tori Florence (21 points), Rosalie Edmonds (20 points) and Brionne Turcotte (11 points). Florence scored 15 first half points while Edmonds had 11 in the second half. Goffstown was 14-of-20 from the free throw line while the Saints (2-3) were 5-of-10. Mariah Desmarais of St. Thomas had 22 points with six three-point field goals including three in the fourth period to lead a 19-point barrage which fell short.

IBM and Netapp: A marriage with ups and downs.
RichardSwain 060000VQ8G Tags:  nseries nas marriage lsi ibm ds5000 xiv ds4000 sql exchange onstor engenio netapp ds3000 18,867 Views
When I first started working at IBM, we had a couple of NAS storage devices: NAS 100, NAS 300(G) and the NAS 500. The NAS 100 was a 1U server appliance that used Windows 2000 and so did the NAS 200 device, all built on IBM hardware. The NAS 500 was on an AIX system also from the IBM stock. They were traditional NAS type systems and IBM sold them as let us build the system for you so you don't have to. Somewhat limited in functionality but did the job they were designed to do, serve NAS data.
That same year, IBM decided to partner with a company that was doing some things in the storage market that looked really interesting. Network Appliance had just started gaining steam with their Data Ontap code (6.something if I remember correctly) and had broken the barrier that IBM systems lacked. Unified protocols from a single architecture and integration into other products like Exchange and SQL using their cool snapshot technology. It took some time to get up to speed on the new Netapp technology with snap this and snap that, but soon we were all talking about waffles and aggrs.
Through out the years, the product set grew and so did the hardware offering. We kept up with the releases and for the most part a 20-60 day lag in release of new software was ok for most IBM customers. We partnered with the sales teams and support teams to help grow the N series customers base and to keep them happy. As with any partnership there are bumps along the way and there seemed to be two parents telling each other they agree to disagree. All in all the N series system has been very successful at IBM.
But as the years progressed, new technology like XiV, Real Time Compression, TSM Flash Copy Manager etc, have filled some of those voids previously filled by N series in the IBM portfolio. As with many companies there are products that overlap and N series does overlap over half of the product line at IBM Storage. Positioning became harder as sales teams questioned when to sale N series and when to sell something "blue". We quickly learned that customers really liked what N series brought to the table and how the solution could be so flexible.
Now with the news of Netapp purchasing Engenio I wonder how the relationship between IBM and Netapp will survive. IBM also rebrands the Engenio products as the IBM DS 3k, 4k and 5k. I guess the bigger question is now what will Netapp do with that product line? If history is any indicator, they will simple keep things like they are for some time and slowly move the customers over to a Data OnTap product. The other question is how long will IBM keep sending money over to Netapp for products that we sale and support?

Rosenstock Hall is named for the late Samuel Heidelberger Rosenstock and Henrietta Kaufman Rosenstock, well-known local philanthropists and longtime residents of Frederick.
Mr. Rosenstock, affectionately known as Mr. Sam, was the son of Lewis and Ettie Rosenstock. Born on July 14, 1885, in Baltimore, he was educated in Baltimore's public schools, and attended Marston University School in Baltimore, Stratton Business College, and Lehigh University. His father died when he was young and he was raised by his mother.
Mr. Rosenstock was a noted industrialist who reached national prominence in the canning industry. His first job was working in the canning business owned by his two uncles, Jacob and Aaron Rosenstock. His wages were four cents an hour. After leaving his uncles' business, he got a job as a runner for a Wall Street investment firm for $5 a week. At age 19 he was named manager of the Frederick City Packing Company and the 662-acre Richland Farms. At 21 he purchased one third interest in the company and eventually became the sole owner. In 1946 he sold the company to the Jenkins Brothers. In 192 he purchased the Thurmont Canning Company which became known as the Western Maryland Packing Company. In 1941, to meet the needs of the war effort, he built the largest string bean canning plant in the United States in Belle Glade, Florida, which he operated until 1943.
Not only was he an expert in the canning industry, he was also an expert in raising leghorn chickens, breeding and raising trotting horses, and raising wolfhounds.
Samuel Rosenstock was married to Henrietta Kaufman, the only daughter of the three children of Michael D. and Pearl Morris Kaufman. She was born in Tarboro, North Carolina, on May 7, 1896. Mrs. Rosenstock, one of the first women to ever work on Wall Street, was a secretary/analyst in New York when she met Mr. Rosenstock. She also served in the U.S. Navy as one of eight women chief petty officers during World War I.
Mr. Rosenstock was interested in community affairs and was active in several civic organizations. He was a charter member of the Frederick Kiwanis Club, and a member of the Frederick Lodge BPOE, and served on the Advisory Council of the Visitation Academy. He served on the boards of many organizations including the Frederick County National Bank, Frederick Memorial Hospital, the Salvation Army the Girl Scouts, and the Royal Poinciana Chapel in Palm Beach, Florida. He helped launch the Board of Associates at Hood College and served on the Board for many years. Mr. Rosenstock was awarded the "Others" award by the Salvation Army, given to local business people whose service rises to the standard of William Booth, the founder of the Salvation Army. During World War I he served on the U.S. Food Administration and was given a certificate of appreciation by the then food administrator, Herbert Hoover.
Mr. and Mrs. Rosenstock played an important part in the growth and development of Frederick County, providing financial support to a number of organizations including Frederick Memorial Hospital, Goodwill, Inc., and the Girl Scouts. They were major benefactors for an effort to build a Baptist college at Walkersville. Unfortunately, this effort failed and the chapel which they funded was sold as part of a housing development.
In recognition of his dedication to the College, Hood awarded Mr. Rosenstock an honorary doctor of humanities degree in 1976. A staunch supporter of education, he provided financial support to many college students.
In 1970 the Rosenstocks were honored when Rosenstock Hall was named in recognition of their gifts to the College. The building houses an auditorium, computer laboratories, faculty offices, and classrooms for the departments of economics and management, English and communication arts, psychology, and history and political science.
There are no direct descendants. Mr. Rosenstock died at age 95 on March 22, 1981; Mrs. Rosenstock died on April 18, 1975. Both are buried in Mount Olivet Cemetery in Frederick.

Restaurant review: Old Thailand (Iidabashi)
Solid Thai food for those who prefer to be stirred rather than shaken.
A couple of years back I was fortunate enough to see a musician friend play Tokyo's famous Blue Note Jazz Club. It was a great show, and afterwards we sat down to talk about how the gig went. As we ran through the set and talked about the players, I made some off-handed remark about how much I loved the opening piece – a wild, cacophonous explosion of sound, the likes of which is rarely heard at a Japanese club. "Yeah, the chaos," he replied "it's the one thing we'll play like that in Japan. Back in the States, most of our set is like that. But after years of playing here, we learned that Japanese audiences don't go in for chaos. Now we dial it down when we play Tokyo."
Anyone who's explored Tokyo's so-called 'ethnic' food scene will spot the similarity to what happens when a Thai, Indian or even Vietnamese restaurant opens. Strong flavors, be they spices like chili or cumin, or herbs such as cilantro (coriander) are quickly brought down to a level more acceptable to the majority of Japanese customers.
Prior to visiting Old Thailand, we were assured that despite being part of a restaurant chain, their dishes were pretty authentic, and certainly the familiar 'chili scale' illustration (one chili meaning not particularly hot, three meaning pretty darn hot) suggested that we'd be swabbing our faces with oshibori in no time.
The lunch menu offers all the Thai standards, and then some. Khao man gai (boiled Thai-style chicken with steamed rice), kaeng khiao wan (green curry), and tom yam-flavored noodles head up the menu. Elsewhere, a 'new lunch menu' offers a green curry with shrimp and avocado, as well as a personal favorite – khao soi (noodles in a soupy chicken curry).
We ordered khao soi and pad ga prao kai (minced chicken cooked in basil) and were impressed when both dishes arrived in a matter of minutes. The khao soi was a pretty good approximation of what one would find on the streets of Chiang Mai, albeit somewhat oilier and containing the kind of thin ramen noodles which tend to clump together. Still, pretty good for a dish that many Japanese are yet to discover.
But it was the ga prao that dominated conversation. It was surprisingly bland, with none of the flavor we were expecting. Where was the promised 'three chili' spiciness? Clearly, this was a case of a Thai classic being modified to suit local tastes. Now, this isn't always a bad thing (the Japanese have reworked countless foreign dishes to great effect) but here the result was mildly disappointing.
Old Thailand delivers plenty of ambiance, and the long lines suggest this is a popular destination for Iidabashi's office workers come lunchtime. But if, like me, you like your Thai liberally seasoned with chaos, I suggest you ask ahead.
Directions: Turn left from Exit B2A of Iidabashi station. It's 3 minutes walk across the bridge and on the second street to your left.

American Forces Press Service
WASHINGTON, July 24, 2009 – Afghan and international forces killed several enemy fighters, detained nine suspects and destroyed a weapons stockpile in recent operations in Afghanistan's Ghazni, Khost and Kandahar provinces, military officials reported.
Acting on intelligence that indicated militant activity, a combined force searched a compound last night in the Ghazni village of Jahangir Kalay. The compound was known to be used by a Taliban fighter responsible for supplying weapons and ammunition to local militants for attacks against Afghan and international security forces.
During the search, militants engaged the force, and the force returned fire, killing several enemy fighters. The search continued, and the force found and destroyed a stockpile that included assault rifles, a machine gun and grenades.
Also last night, a combined force conducted an intelligence-driven search of a compound west of the city of Khost in Khost province. The search targeted a key member of the Haqqani terrorist network officials said is responsible for multiple operations, including suicide attacks against Afghan and international forces. The search was conducted without incident, and the force detained six suspected militants, including the wanted man.
Elsewhere, an overnight operation reported yesterday in the village of Khosrow-e Sofia in Kandahar province resulted in detention of three suspected militants.
No combined-force or civilian casualties were reported in the operations.

moe. Play Three Full Albums, Bust Out Songs at the Ryman
moe. played three full albums during a three-set Halloween show at the Ryman Auditorium in Nashville, TN last night. The band busted out a few songs that hadn't seen the light of day since the late '90s. Before the show, moe. promised to celebrate their own history this Halloween instead of looking outside their own catalog as in part years.
moe. kicked off this epic concert with a first set that consisted of an acoustic rendition of What Happened to the LA LA's. The band played every track from their latest studio release in the order that they appear on the album. The band then ditched the acoustic instruments for the second set, playing the entirety of their first album, 1992's Fatboy. The set ended with a bust out of the album's closing track "The Battle of Benny Hill," which hadn't been played since February 1, 1997.
Continuing with the album theme, moe. opened their third set with "Akimbo" and "Mexico," the first two numbers of their second album, Headseed, and proceeded to run through the album from start to finish. moe. managed to keep things interesting for the encore as well. The band busted out "The Coffee Tune," which hadn't been played since March 25, 1997, and "Brain Tuba," which had not been seen since November 11, 1998.

A storm coming through can sure change things in a hurry. Last week it was super-storm Sandy, a hurricane, arctic blast and Nor'easter all rolled into one. But it doesn't take a super-storm to shake things up. A regular hurricane can do a lot of damage; a tornado can sweep through in a hurry. Wind and rain and snow, ice and bitter cold can alter a landscape quickly.

Grand Island Town Councilman Chris Aronica was returned to the council in Tuesday's general election, beating challenger Shelia Ferrentino.
Aronica had 56 percent of the vote to Ferrentino's 44 percent.
Aronica was appointed in January to fill the vacant council seat created when then-Councilwoman Mary Cooke was elected supervisor. He will serve out the remainder of Cooke's term.
Aronica, a Conservative Party member, had 1,145 votes on the Conservative line, and 4,091 on the Democratic Party line for 5,236 votes (56 percent). Ferrentino, a Republican member of the town's Planning Board, had 3,655 votes on the Republican line and 420 on the Independence Party line for 4,075 votes (44 percent).
Islander Mike Madigan lost his bid for the 26th District Congressional seat to Congressman Brian Higgins. Higgins received 74.6 percent of the vote to Madigan's 25.4 percent with approximately 265,000 votes cast.
Madigan said he "learned a tremendous amount and I don't think the campaign ends here."
"The whole Island has been extremely supportive. A lot of the boots on the ground have come right from the Island," Madigan said. He called his first effort at public office "a real, good grassroots campaign, good old-fashioned. It's not special interest paid for and bought for."

Internal Flexi Air Adapter for Tippmann X7 / Phenom
Regular price
The Internal Flexi Air Adapter for Tippmann X7 replaces the rear body plug entirely, offering you the ability to run an internal air line through your marker rather than relying on ugly hoses outside of it. The front of the Flexi Air Adapter for Tippmann X7 interfaces with the marker itself for a perfect, wobble-free fit. The rear features a standard ASA that's ready to accept a gas-through stock, like the Tacamo SOCOM Air Through Buttstock, the Solid Remote Line Adapter and Buttstock, and other tactical solutions.
They thread right into the Internal Flexi Air Adapter...and so do tanks for the 5oz CO2/3000psi Butt Stock and all standard paintball CO2 and HPA tanks. With the air line running through your marker rather than around the outside, you get the most realistic look and feel possible...while adding extra length to the air line that acts as something of an expansion chamber to ensure stable velocities (which means better accuracy).
To make this Internal Flexi Air Adapter for Tippmann X7 work, you'll need to purchase the Internal Flexi Air Hose and Tombstone for Tippmann X7 separately...or pick up just this piece if you already have the Internal Flexi Air Hose and Tombstone!
Key Features Include:
- Aircraft-grade aluminum for durability
- Precision milled for a wobble-free fit
- Adds true custom functionality to your marker

Local economist to announce mayoral run
Dan Cravens, a regional economist with the Idaho Department of Labor, has scheduled a news conference at noon Thursday at the Blackfoot City Hall.
While sources close to Cravens have indicated that he plans to announce a run for mayor of Blackfoot, Cravens said he will have no comment until Thursday.
Mayor Mike Virtue has indicated that he will not seek another term. He has been in office since 2006.
In addition to his job with the state, Cravens is vice-president of the Bingham Economic Development Corporation and is chairman of the Bingham County Republican Party.
Two members of the city council — Bart Brown and Layne "Skip" Gardner — were appointed to their seats following the deaths of their predecessors so their seats are up for election. Council members Rich Woodfin and Chris Jensen are also up for election.
That means all five city leadership positions will be decided in the November election.
According to Idaho Code, no candidates can file for those offices until Aug. 26. The filing deadline is Sept. 6.
City Clerk Suzanne McNeel said those who plan to run can designate a treasurer at her office and begin raising money for their campaigns now.
