Dewey "Monty" L. Sheridan
April 19, 2013
Dewey L. (Monty) Sheridan, 80, a longtime Moffat County cattle rancher, passed away April, 7, 2013, at The Memorial Hospital in Craig.
He was born June 14, 1932, to Dewey and Emily Sheridan on a homestead near Cross Mountain. His dad delivered him three days before the midwife arrived. He lived on the family homestead and rode into Sunbeam on his horse daily to attend school. He then caught the bus in Sunbeam to attend high school in Craig.
He was married to Carol Buffham, whom he later divorced. To this union, six children were born: Monty Sheridan, Wanda Estel, Stan Sheridan, Tina Sheridan, Tuffy Sheridan and Rowel Sheridan.
On Dec. 9, 1974, Monty married Ruth L. Mogensen in Wyoming. After their marriage, Monty returned with his bride to their home at Red Wash Ranch by Dinosaur. They resided at Red Wash until 1986, when they moved to the Snake River Ranch. They continued to run the ranch at Snake River, but because of health reasons, they chose to purchase a home west of Craig in 2004.
Throughout Monty's many years of ranching and gathering wild horses, there were three documentaries made about him. One of which was "The Cowboys," produced by Bill Moyer. This film was played on PBS and National Geographic Channel in 1976.
As recently as last year, Wayne Ewing, the photographer, continued to shoot films for Monty and Ruth's personal viewing pleasure. The latest was of Monty shipping his cows to market, which should be delivered to Ruth within the next few months.
Stories about Monty were published in two books: "The Grass Roots People," written and photographed by Nancy Wood with Monty's photo appearing on the front page of The New York Times, and "Blue Mountain Folk," written by Doris Burton.
Monty had a deep love for ranching and the great outdoors, especially with his cattle dog, Millie.
He is survived by his wife of 40 years, Ruth Sheridan; brother Bobby Sheridan, of Texas; sister Lillian McAnnaly, of Grand Junction; sons Monty Sheridan, of Wambsetter, Wyo., Stan Sheridan and Tuffy Sheridan, of Rangely, and Rowel Sheridan, of Blue Mountain; daughters Wanda Estel, of Rangley, and Tina Sheridan, of Colorado Springs; grandson Jesse, who helped them with the ranch and day-to-day life, and Travis Walsh, whom Monty thought of as his grandson, as well as numerous other grandchildren; and of course, his beloved cow dog, Millie.
Monty was preceded in death by Russell Walsh, whom Monty also thought of as his grandson.
A memorial service was April 13, 2013, at the Apostolic Lighthouse in Craig. A graveside service was April 14, 2013, at the family ranch.
In lieu of flowers, it was his wish that any donations be made to the Moffat County Humane Society, P.O. Box 455, Craig, CO 81626.

On Sunday afternoon me and some friends are going to run a Murder Mystery Party.
It will be the kind where there are some "actors" playing the part of the suspects and the "public" plays detective trying to solve the murder.
We are going to offer something to drink and something to eat. Since much of the story revolves around Bloody Mary (the drink) and strawberries, I'd like to keep a "red" theme. I'm going to bake a strawberry yogurt cake and cover it with red icing, but I could use some suggestion for red finger food.
Please keep in mind that I will have to prepare it in advance (no later than Sunday morning) and I will have to transport it to a place with no fridge, where it will have to wait for 2 o 3 hours. Also, we expect up to 60 people, so it has to be something easy to make and possibly cheap, since I'm paying for it out of my pocket!
So far the only ideas I got are squares of pizza and canape with red "caviar". If I can find some workforce to exploit (also known as "friends" :P ) also some skewer with cherry tomatoes and cubes of cheese, but I'm not sure how the skewered tomatoes would hold up.
So, any suggestion is welcome :)
Red bell pepper comes to mind, either raw or cooked in some dish or another. Or may be tomato/hot sauce dip, or even a salsa. Another thing that I have been meaning to experiment with is using hot sauce in an omelet, I am pretty sure that would turn it bright red (I like things extra spicy).
The tomatoes will work by the way, I use them when I have them in my bento.
I don't know why I did not think of pepper, it was so obvious! Well, thank you :)
Dip seems messy... we only have one small table on one side of the room to put the food on, and I don't think I can afford to prepare individual cups :/
Omelet... that could be interesting. Usually it turn orange-ish, due to the yellow of the egg, but I could place red pepper pieces on top... or maybe even make a sort of crustless quiche, with rice, and bake it in the oven.
And I have found workforce for the skewers so now I only have to buy the tomatoes :)
Hmm...the no refrigeration thing is an obstacle. Otherwise, something like little meatballs in a red sauce would work great.
It would be another cake...but red velvet cake cut into squares?
Salsa, as Stephanie suggested, is a good idea, though you may want to try to keep it cool before serving.
I've seen some red flour tortillas (made red with red pepper paste I think), which would be great for wraps. I think I saw them at Trader Joe's or Whole Foods. You could fill them with a mixture of red peppers and cream cheese tinted with sweet paprika or something like that, and slice into little rounds about the size of sushi rolls.
The Big Onigiri.
- Wherever you go, there you are. -
Another girl is taking care of the sweet side, so we'll have plenty already. Beside, savoury seems to be more popular usually.
I'm not sure what you mean by salsa? In italian salsa is just any sauce, but bechamel by itself doesn't sound very appealing, for instance ;)
And we don't have Trader's Joe or Whole Foods in Italy :( But I can work with the idea.
Salsa is just raw tomato, onion, hot pepper (serrano or jalapeno usually), cilantro, lemon/lime juice, salt and pepper either finely chopped or it can be put in a food processor or blender for a finer texture. Here is a picture of the courser version pico de gallo:
There are a lot of dishes you can make with the salsa. I imagine you could use that in the omelet to give it the red color at least for the center, you could even use some broken tortilla chips and make it like huevos rancheros. I think I might just have to do some experimenting of my own.
Dusting things with paprika, smoked or not, would give a red tinge to paler coloured things.
My blog is Food and Shoes
My advice when it comes to needing red foods is to get out the bottle of cochineal food colouring and be done with it. It's cheap, it looks good, and it doesn't make anyone I know hyper. Also, it's not made out of insects anymore, but that wouldn't have put me off anyway. You can put
However, if your into natrual at all costs or you'r worried about pepole with alergies, your could always go with tomatoes, pepers, chillies, red onion, piments, any kind of red spice, cherries, pickled ginger, beetroot, and radish. Obviously not all in the same dish.

Guinta re-emerges as founder, chair of new independent business advocacy groupBy JOHN DiSTASO
Senior Political Reporter
March 12. 2013 10:04PM
Largely under the radar since losing his U.S. House seat last November, former Rep. Frank Guinta is back as founder and chair of a new group to advocate for conservative fiscal and regulatory policies on behalf of independent business owners.
The Republican is chairing the Independent Business Council of New Hampshire, a Limited Liability Company (LLC) recently filed with the New Hampshire Secretary of State.
Guinta has kept the IBC quiet while recruiting members for several weeks now. He said Tuesday he expects to formally roll out the IBC in roughly 30 days.
Guinta's formation of the group is sure to accelerate speculation that he is using it as a vehicle to keep his profile high as he prepares to run again for office. He has been mentioned as eyeing a 2014 run for the U.S. Senate, another run for the 1st District U.S. House seat he lost to current Rep. Carol Shea-Porter last November, or perhaps even a run for governor.
"I haven't made any decision about 2014," he said. "I have honestly been enjoying time with my family.
"But I'm 42 and retirement is not in my vocabulary, yet. These are issues that I have always been involved in, and so it shouldn't surprise anyone that I'm engaged in them now.
"I'm sure there will be people who want to try to connect the dots between this and politics, but my passion is about small business owners and making sure we do everything we possibly can to have favorable, positive economic policy in the state of New Hampshire," he said. "If I decide to run for something in the future, that will come in due time."
BIA and IBC
The new Guinta organization may raise eyebrows at the state's largest business advocacy organization, the 400-member Business and Industry Association of New Hampshire. But BIA spokesman Adrienne Rupp said Tuesday the association had no comment on the IBC.
Guinta's IBC will also enter a field already crowded with groups such as local chambers of commerce, the National Federation of Independent Businesses, the Retail Merchants Association and the New Hampshire Lodging and Restaurant Association.
"We're not looking to compete with any existing organization," said Guinta. "But we're looking to strengthen the voice of that small business that doesn't feel it has the ability to communicate in any other way other than joining with like-sized businesses."
In 2009, former state Sen. Bob Clegg, feeling that the BIA did not represent the interests of small businesses, formed the Small Business and Small Industry Association.
"We're still in operation," he said. Tuesday. "We're still alive and we're going to start recruiting again once the budget gets going."
Clegg said he did not view Guinta's group as competition.
"The more people who get involved in advocating for small business, the better off we are," he said."
Guinta said that while the IBC will keep tabs on how federal issues, such as the Affordable Care Act, affect small businesses, he said that state issues will also be in focus.
"We'll be focused on the drivers of our New Hampshire economy - whatever impacts a business owner here in the state," he said.
Small businesses
Prior to winning the U.S. House seat in 2010, Guinta served as mayor of Manchester from 2006 to 2010. He is also a former Manchester alderman and state representative.
To head day-to-day IBC operations, Guinta has tapped his long-time supporter and former congressional district director, Roger Wilkins.
In a Power Point prospectus that Guinta has delivered to potential members, the IBC's stated mission is to "strengthen the economic vitality of New Hampshire by providing advocacy, education and better linkage with state leaders" and to "promote a strong and healthy business climate which spurs investment in the Granite State, focusing on federal, state and local economic policies."
IBC lists as its goals "government tax relief for employers," "regulatory review and reform," "overhead tax breaks" and "workers compensation reform."
Guinta said he and Wilkins started the group after meeting with small business owners "frustrated by their lack of ability to have a voice in the process. Small business owners did not feel that they were in a position of competitiveness because of the environment that we're in, politically, legislatively and economically.
Generally speaking, Guinta said, the members will be businesses with fewer than 500 employees, although any business is welcome.
"Above anything, it's a service-based organization that's going to help and support what I consider the backbone of New Hampshire's economy, which is small business owners," he said. "It's something I've personally been engaged in throughout my public life and my private life."

MIAMI (WBRC) - The Alabama Crimson Tide and the Notre Dame Fighting Irish visited with media Saturday inside of Sun Light Stadium as the two teams prepared to face each other Monday in the Discover BCS National Championship game.
All of the players and coaches from both teams visited with the media for one hour. Alabama arrived first, then Notre Dame followed later in the morning.
Saturday's media day came just hours after head coach Nick Saban sent two freshman players home for curfew violations. The university's student newspaper, The Crimson White, first identified the players as linebackers Dillon Lee and Ryan Anderson.
Saturday, defensive lineman Damion Square said he approved of the way Coach Saban handled the situation.
"We come down here to try to do the right things, and Coach handled it in the proper way that he felt he should handle the situation so it wouldn't be such a big distraction to the team," Square said. "Like I said, that's over, and now we're just focused on game time."
After Media Day, the teams headed off to practice. The game will be played Monday night.

Officials Confirm 11th Fungal Meningitis Case
ST. PAUL (AP) - Minnesota health officials have confirmed another case of fungal meningitis in a national outbreak linked to steroid shots for back pain made by a specialty pharmacy in Massachusetts.
That brings the number of Minnesota cases to 11.
The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention has reported 419 cases of meningitis illness linked to contaminated steroid shots distributed by New England Compounding Center. Thirty people have died as a result of the outbreak. The medication was recalled in late September.
Minnesota is among 19 states involved in the outbreak.

According to a federal agency report released Thursday, a "new phenomenon" known as thermal expansion was directly responsible for the mysterious collapse of World Trade Center 7 on Sept. 11, 2001.
Dr. Shyam Sunder, director of Institute's building and fire research laboratory, oversaw the government's three-year research efforts. The report aims to disprove the controlled demolition argument.
However, Richard Gage, founder of Architects & Engineers for 9/11 Truth and a member of the American Institute of Architects, doesn't believe a word of the theory.
His group, which has swelled to over 400 architectural and engineering professionals, immediately responded to the Institute's claim in a press conference.
"Tons of [molten metal] was found 21 days after the attack," said Gage in an interview with a Vancouver, Canada television station. "Steel doesn't begin to melt until 2,700 degrees, which is much hotter than what these fires could have caused."
"There are holes in this story that you can drive a truck through," Gage added during the press conference. His group asserts that thermite, a steel cutting agent, was used to bring the building down.
While the Institute said it considered the possibility of a controlled demolition taking place at WTC 7, the notion was dismissed due to the absence of any recordings of an explosion sound.
Thermite, however, does not make an explosion sound. And while this was raised to Dr. Sunder in the media's Q&A session, he dismissed it as impossible.

SAP Migrates Business-Critical Customer Relationship Management System to SAP HANA® Platform
HANOVER, Germany — SAP AG (NYSE: SAP) today announced that it has gone live on the SAP® Customer Relationship Management (SAP CRM) application powered by the SAP HANA® platform in a record time of 2.5 months. Users now benefit from secure, real-time access to business-critical data wherever they are for increased productivity, business performance and improved decision-making. The announcement was made at CeBIT 2013, being held March 5-9 in Hanover, Germany.
In today's business world, speed and mobility matter. Business users expect fast response times as well as high quality and reliable information in their software. Additionally, the traditional desktop approach is long gone, with users demanding access to information anytime, anywhere and in real time via their preferred mobile device. In 2010, SAP outlined for the first time how in-memory computing and SAP HANA would dramatically increase the availability and speed of business information. Since then, SAP HANA has become the product with the fastest-growing customer pipeline in company history.
SAP migrated its business-critical CRM system to SAP CRM powered by SAP HANA through a project that was completed in record time, making the company the first customer to go live with the new solution.
"Real-time access to our customer pipeline allows us the ability to consistently analyze our business and know exactly where to focus additional resources and planning efforts. SAP Global Customer Operations is a vocal advocate of how SAP constantly delivers innovative business applications based on SAP HANA, in addition to serving as a highly-active internal customer," said Robert Enslin, president of Global Customer Operations and member of Global Managing Board of SAP AG. "With the migration of our own CRM system to SAP CRM powered by SAP HANA, we now benefit from accelerating the solution non-disruptively and providing decision-making insights from the account level through senior management, anytime, anyplace."
"Deploying the SAP 360 Customer solution and making SAP CRM available on SAP HANA was only the first step," said Oliver Bussmann, chief information officer, SAP AG. "Mobile devices such as smartphones and tablets are widely used across SAP, and they are also the preferred option for accessing customer information. That's why it is particularly important to us to embed SAP CRM on SAP HANA into our mobile strategy."
Increased Performance Throughout the System
Implementing SAP CRM powered by SAP HANA results in increased performance that can be measured in different processes throughout the system. These include relatively simple processes such as business partner and contact creation, along with more complex processes such as the conversion from activity to lead to opportunity, and account and opportunity management. Early user feedback highlights performance improvements in the area of call center management, especially in search and reporting scenarios. SAP benefits from SAP CRM powered by SAP HANA by making decisions in real time, accelerating business performance, increasing business productivity and improving IT efficiency.

A Response to David Zaring
First, I would like to thank David Zaring again for his comments on my essay: Empiricism and International Law: Insights for Investment Treaty Dispute Resolution. I was deeply humbled to read David's thoughts about both the utility of the essay and the direction of my current research. David's comments, however, raise a variety of issues worthy of a bit deeper exploration.
I wholeheartedly agree that empirical work in international law is decidedly not déclassé. As a proud alumna of the University of Minnesota Law School, I had the privilege of taking classes with Bob Hudec. I have profound respect for Hudec's empirical exploration of international trade dispute settlement system and have been grateful to see others continue the empirical exploration of international economic law in the trade context. Perhaps more selfishly, as my research has developed, I have found myself wishing that Hudec was still with us so that I could benefit from his methodological insights related to the analysis of international economic dispute resolution. I would nevertheless hope that Hudec would have been pleased the development of empirical methodologies to areas of international law outside of the trade context. The work of junior scholars such as Oona Hathaway, Elena Baylis, Bill Burke-White, and Melissa Waters spring immediately to mind although there are certainly others engaging in research. In the meantime, I will look forward to hearing the remarks of David Trubek and my co-panelist Juscelino Colares at the forthcoming Society of International Economic Law as they both have critical observations about Hudec's legacy to empirical assessment of international economic law phenomena.
David also makes an interesting point about how research in international investment law might evolve in the future. I am sympathetic to the reference to Wright & Miller's recent exploration of content analyses and the value of using rigorous social science methodology to study the content of judicial decisions. No doubt this literature, and its underlying methodological rigor, will aid the evolution of methodological approaches involving the analysis of investment treaty arbitration awards. As the essay also suggests, there are other critical methodological approaches that could be likewise as this area evolves. For example, provided that scholars are sufficiently transparent in the description and analysis of their quantitative research, meta-analysis may be possible. As discussed eloquently in Jeremy Blumenthal's article Meta-Analysis: A Primer for Legal Scholars, meta-analysis can synthesize empirical analysis across studies in order to summarize the research and identify variables influencing the findings of particular research. These additional methodological approaches only scratch the surface of potential ways to develop international law empiricism. One might even imagine – much like social science counterparts – the development of research methodologists, who are dedicated to the exploration and improvement of empirical methodologies, as a type of international law sub-specialty. But my suspicion is these last two evolutionary advances may be years in the offing.
Finally, in providing the cautionary observation about the need for training, David observes that inter-disciplinary collaboration can help bridge the methodological divide by providing much needed skills in this regard. I decidedly agree with David about the value that collaboration brings on the methodological side and offer two counter-points.
First, there are also practical benefits to be garnered from collaboration beyond methodological insights. Chief among these benefits is: sleep. Empirical research, while rewarding, can take time. The development of datasets can be labor intensive – even with the help of able research assistants (and I have been profoundly blessed in that department with the assistance of Melanie Neely and Jenna Perkins). Working in collaboration with others means that some of the most laborious aspects of empirical research – namely data collection – can be shared. In other words, it means that you are less likely to be sleep deprived and able to work more effectively. (And yes, there is empirical literature in related contexts to back up this claim.) Sharing of such tasks may also mean, provided proper research protocols related to inter-coder reliability are followed, that the reliability of data collection may be enhanced. It also means that research methodology choices can be considered with a view to considering multiple perspectives; and as none of us is perfect, the use of group-think to develop research and analysis can be invaluable. Collaboration also creates research efficiencies. For example, those with an expertise in or aptitude for the creation of graphs, tables and charts can develop them readily. I may, however, say this given my own graduate coursework at the University of Nebraska Law and Psychology JD/PhD program with Cal Garbin on multivariate research design and data analysis (see here and here) and the learning curve I have experienced in the creation of graphs during my work for Cal this summer.
The second counterpoint suggests that there may be a gap to fill within legal education. More particularly, while there are benefits to collaborating in an inter-disciplinary manner, one wonders whether such collaboration may be even more fruitful if legal scholars had access – for example in law school – to methodological classes to provide basic training. There are certainly useful programs for professors such as the Northwestern/WashU "bootcamp" or programs for quantitative methods at the University of Michigan, University of Essex or the European Consortium for Political Research's program at the University of Ljubljana. Nevertheless, the essay explores the unique benefit of systematically providing the next generation of research assistants, lawyers and law professors with training in the law school context. Some law schools, such as Berkeley, Cornell, Harvard, Illinois, Leiden University, Northwestern, Penn, Stanford, University of Chicago, Vanderbilt, Washington University, and Yale have classes related to the empirical methods and the law (and apologies for the lack of a complete list in this regard for other law schools with separate courses focused on empirical methods). A casebook with an accessible teacher's manual, such as the one being developed by faculty at the University of Illinois, goes a long way to filling this particular gap in U.S. legal training. I understand Empirical Methods in Law (Aspen, forthcoming), written by Bob Lawless, Jennifer Robbennolt and Tom Ulen, should be available for Fall 2009; and based upon the draft chapters I have seen, I am looking forward to getting my copy.
Ultimately, if we are willing to take on the challenge, we are at the first step of a journey of empirical assessment of investment treaty dispute resolution. There are inevitably places where we can grow and develop in collaboration or consultation with others. And that, at least in my view, is certainly a worthy undertaking.

USDA/APHIS is reconsidering its newly released requirement that every bale of Roundup Ready (RR) alfalfa sold commercially be individually tagged. The regulation, if left unchanged, would require growers to individually tag as many as 20 million hay bales annually in California alone.
The bag tagging regulation was one of several onerous rules laid down by USDA in the wake of a federal district court ruling, banning the sale of RR alfalfa until the federal government completed an environmental impact statement (EIS) on commercialization of the new herbicide-resistant alfalfa. The EIS was ordered despite extensive review of the biotech alfalfa by several agencies before it was approved for sale last fall.
Before the judge made his ruling, about 220,000 acres of the new technology had been planted last fall and earlier this spring. The judge did not require that it be disked out, but he did place strict sanitation and identification requirements on its harvest and movement.
The most burdensome was the bale tagging rule. It prompted an outcry from the industry that resulted in a recent conference call between APHIS and industry leaders.
As a result of that, the National Alfalfa and Forage Alliance (NAFA) will be quickly filing a petition with USDA and the Justice Department, detailing the impossibility of such a requirement citing animal and worker safety issues plus the cost, according to Beth Nelson, NAFA president.
Instead, NAFA will be proposing that RR alfalfa lots be identified on invoices and shipping manifests, as most growers have been doing since the judge made his ruling, according to Nelson.
The petition will be backed by letters from the California Alfalfa and Forage Association, San Joaquin Valley Hay Growers, Forage Genetics, and others.
"The department wants the petition ASAP, and we are working to get it there in the very near future," said Nelson.
About a month after USDA/APHIS came out with its RR alfalfa handling rules, Monsanto appealed the Northern California U.S. District Court judge's injunction banning the sale of the Roundup-resistant forage.
The appeal was filed Aug. 13 — almost four months after the injunction was made permanent — seeking to "correct the legal standards" applied as the basis for the injunction, resulting in unnecessary restrictions on growers, seed dealers, Forage Genetics Inc. (FGI) and Monsanto, while the EIS is completed.
The industry was becoming concerned that Monsanto would not appeal the decision, opting to wait 18 months until an EIS was finished to put the RR alfalfa back on the market. Some were concerned Monsanto would drop the RR alfalfa program as it did with RR wheat and other herbicide-resistant crops like lettuce. Both of those programs were dropped due to a fear of consumer backlash.
A Monsanto spokesman said the delay in the alfalfa case was due to "procedural rules" in the appeals process. "We filed the appeal at the earliest possible moment and are taking measures to expedite the appeal process," said the Monsanto spokesman.
The appeal asserts that the industry will suffer irreparable financial harm, despite previous acknowledgement that Roundup Ready alfalfa poses no harm to humans and livestock.
The appeal will be heard in the 9th Circuit Court of Appeals. No hearing date has been set.
The injunction to ban the sale of RR alfalfa until USDA completes an EIS on the impact of herbicide-resistant alfalfa planting seed was issued on May 3 by the federal district court, following a lawsuit brought by the Center for Food Safety and two alfalfa seed producers and others against the USDA.
Along with the ruling banning seed sales, the judge also ordered the exact field locations of an estimated 220,000 acres of RR alfalfa be identified and that the production, harvesting and marketing restrictions be imposed on the forage crop deemed safe for humans and livestock. An estimated 80,000 acres of RR alfalfa is in California where the stringent set of harvesting and handling rules issued in late summer by USDA/APHIS to seemingly comply with the judge's orders created almost as much uproar and consternation among growers as the initial ruling banning the sale of the seed.
Seed companies, growers and University of California specialists and others are attempting to modify the rules.
Besides the bale tagging regulations, USDA/APHIS also is requiring that:
-Producers clean all swathers, balers, pick-up wagons/harrow beds and leave the sweepings in the RR field.
-Truckers clean their equipment after transporting RR alfalfa.
-RR hay and conventional hay be segregated when stacked.
When USDA/APHIS issued its rules, growers and others called them ludicrous, totally unnecessary and impossible to follow.
Nelson said the petition to modify the rules only covers bale tagging and none of the other regulations.
"It is questionable whether these measures accomplish the stated goal of preventing RR alfalfa from disrupting organic alfalfa production or non-GE markets," said Dan Putman, University of California, Davis alfalfa/forage Extension agronomist. "We are hoping we can convince USDA-APHIS to examine reasonable alternatives to these unworkable regulations."
The ruling banning RR alfalfa seed sales was described as the "tail wagging the dog" since of the more than 22 million acres of alfalfa grown in the U.S., only about 200,000 acres are certified organic, which plaintiffs said would be "contaminated" by the transgenic seed.
Monsanto says unless the ruling is overturned, it could cost conventional alfalfa growers $250 million.
Monsanto joined the lawsuit after the preliminary injunction was issued to defend grower choice to use the technology. However, the judge made his injunction permanent.

Residents pleaded with Mayor Sam Abed Wednesday to help block projects they oppose, open city swimming pools more hours and clean up Escondido.
Speaking during a "town hall" forum, most of the 150 residents in attendance focused on two projects: a housing subdivision proposed for defunct Escondido Country Club, and a recycling plant proposed for the city's northern edge.
Several residents lobbied Abed to take a stronger stand against a proposal to build about 400 homes on the 100-acre Country Club site.
The mayor said he wouldn't support the housing proposal if the nearby "community at large" continued to oppose it, but he stopped short of guaranteeing he would vote against it.
In addition, he urged a less ardent stance for the group of nearby residents pursuing a ballot measure that would preserve the club property as permanent open space.
The mayor said the residents would need money to maintain the open space if their ballot measure succeeds. And he suggested that allowing a small number of homes could help fund that maintenance.
"I believe you should keep an open mind about something reasonable," he said.
On the recycling plant, Abed said the concerns from residents about lower property values and traffic congestion were "valid."
But he said Escondido officials couldn't do much because the 35-acre property is on county land just north of the city.
Despite that, the residents urged Abed to lobby the County Board of Supervisors to oppose the project because it would affect upscale neighborhoods within the city.
"We really need your help," resident Nancie Froning said.
Residents also complained about a third proposal, Lexus Escondido's plan to host more outdoor concerts.
"We're engaged in a fight over amplified music," said Pam Stahl, who lives near the dealership at Interstate 15 and Ninth Avenue. "I would hope the City Council would be sensitive to the residents in that area."
Abed promised that the city would work hard with Lexus to reduce the noise the concerts would emit into the neighborhood. But he said he generally supported the proposal.
"It's a nice place for weddings and activities," Abed said of the $30 million, elaborate dealership. "There's a lot of ways to mitigate the noise."
On city pools, resident Cassie Lieurance said the recent heat wave had made reduced hours a more conspicuous problem.
"Open our pools I beg you," she said, adding that a few lifeguards wouldn't cost that much. "It's really hot."
Abed said expanded pool hours are important. But he also said the city had other priorities, such as new firefighters that were recently hired, filling some open police officer slots and upgrading city roads.
Other residents complained about vandalism, people selling goods without business licenses and illegally parked vehicles.
The mayor said city officials planned to prioritize code enforcement efforts when money becomes available. He said such efforts were curtailed too much when the city cut many programs to balance its budget the last few years.
Resident Aaron Smith criticized Abed for a Police Department partnership with federal immigration officials. He said the pact was a hurdle to making minorities feel included in the community.
Abed got rousing applause from the audience when he defended the partnership.
"We are only deporting criminals," he said.
A recording of the 90-minute meeting will be broadcast at 6 p.m. Sunday and Monday on Cox Channel 19 and U-Verse Channel 99, city officials said.

LONDON (AP) — The Federal Reserve's vow to support the U.S. economy for as long as needed helped shore up markets Friday despite growing concerns over the scale of the slowdown in China.
A mixed batch of U.S. earnings kept the buying in check as did a weaker than anticipated consumer sentiment survey from the University of Michigan.
This week has been largely positive in stock markets, especially after Fed chairman Ben Bernanke said on Wednesday that the U.S. needs "highly accommodative monetary policy" — or low interest rates — "for the foreseeable future."
The S&P 500 index closed Thursday at an all-time high as investor fears that the central bank will pull back on its economic stimulus too quickly were eased. The Fed is buying $85 billion a month in bonds to keep interest rates low and to encourage spending and hiring.
"Equities are still subject to the positive bias established by Bernanke's comments," said David White, a trader at Spreadex.
In Europe, the FTSE 100 index of leading 100 shares was broadly unchanged Friday, up 0.02 percent, at 6,544 while Germany's DAX rose 0.6 percent to 8,212. The CAC-40 in France, underperformed, trading 0.3 percent lower at 3,856.
In the U.S., the Dow Jones industrial average was off 0.2 percent at 15,422 while the broader S&P 500 index dropped 0.1 percent to 1,673.
U.S. traders had a raft of earnings news to digest. While profits at big banks Wells Fargo and JP Morgan came in better than expected, UPS cut its profit outlook and said it's seeing a slowdown in U.S. industry.
Meanwhile, the University of Michigan's main consumer confidence index fell slightly, to 83.9 points in July from 84.1 in June. The median forecast in the markets was for a modest rise to 84.7.
The dollar continued to recoup some of the losses it posted in the wake of Bernanke's pledge, with the euro trading 0.08 percent lower at $1.3084 and the dollar 0.32 percent higher at 99.29 yen. The dollar suffered widespread selling after Bernanke's comments as investors priced in a growing likelihood that the Fed's monetary policy will remain loose for the time being. Looser monetary policy tends to weaken a country's currency.
While the main focus in markets during the latter part of the week has been on the Fed, investors have a number of other issues to contend with, notably the state of the Chinese economy, the world's second-largest.
Surprisingly weak trade figures earlier this week raised the prospect that China's slowdown will be sharper than anticipated as China's central bank tightens credit to reduce financial distortions. China announces April-June growth figures on Monday morning and the mood ahead of the release was nervous — the main index in Shanghai fell 1.6 percent to 2,134.50.
"China could be a cloud on the horizon after the finance minister suggested that growth could come in at 7 percent for this year, which is below the government's official forecast as well as a whole host of others," said Michael Hewson, senior market analyst at CMC Markets.
Europe's debt crisis also remains in the spotlight amid ongoing concerns over the Portuguese government and whether the country may need another bailout.
However, the overall European concerns have been contained somewhat this week by the news that Greece has managed to get its next batch of bailout cash without too much trouble.
Investors got some further relief Friday with a broadly positive assessment of Ireland's public finances by the Standard & Poor's ratings agency. S&P said there is "more than one-in-three probability that Ireland could over-achieve its fiscal targets and reduce its government debt faster than we currently expect." As a result, it revised its outlook on Ireland's BBB+ rating to positive.
Earlier in Asia, Japan's Nikkei 225 index closed up 0.2 percent at 14,506.25 while Hong Kong's Hang Seng dropped 0.8 percent to 21,277.28. Australia's S&P/ASX 200 was up 0.2 percent at 4,973.0.

Mysterious, Maine-sized hole appears in Antarctica sea ice cover
WASHINGTON (Sinclair Broadcast Group) - For the last month, Antarctica's sea ice cover has been sporting a vast, mysterious hole, according to the Princeton University-based Southern Ocean Carbon and Climate Observations and Modeling program.
National Geographic reported Wednesday that the giant opening is as big as the state of Maine -- approximately 30,000 square miles at its biggest.

SOCCOM says the newly discovered hole, called a polynya, is the largest seen in the Weddell Sea since the 1970s.
A smaller polynya formed in the region last year, according to National Geographic.
University of Toronto physics professor Kent Moore tells NatGeo that researchers are investigating what causes polynyas to form.

There's a lot of back-and-forth going on about limiting the maximum road speed of tractor-trailers to 68 mph. The fleets supporting the idea believe putting a 68 mph 'speed ceiling' in place would improve highway safety and save fuel. Those in opposition say they need all the power and speed they can muster to pass slower vehicles on the highway, and fear a 68 mph speed 'cap' would cause rigs to bunch up on the highway.
In my opinion, we're barking up the wrong tree here -- what we need to do is go back to the 55 mph national speed limit so haphazardly abandoned by Congress back in 1995 -- that's for ALL vehicles, mind you, not just big rigs.
That limit came into being back in 1973 during the Arab oil embargo against our country -- retaliation for U.S. support for Israel during the Yom Kippur war. With gasoline supplies dropping dramatically and prices spiking, limiting vehicles to 55 mph was but one energy conservation practice put into play by the Nixon Administration.
That's why we need to go back to it today. According to data compiled by the American Trucking Assns. (ATA), motor carriers spent $98.3 billion on fuel in 2006 -- up over $20 billion in ONE YEAR from the $87.7 billion spent in 2005, and over $30 BILLION more than the $65.9 billion spent in 2004. Anybody worried about this trend here?
It's also interesting to note that the ATA and other trucking companies were AGAINST dropping the 55 mph speed limit back in 1995 -- a fact conveniently overlooked by so-called safety advocates these days who believe truckers are at the root of all highway safety problems.
Now, that isn't to say the trucking community was united to preserve the 'double-nickel' -- far from it. Many drivers opposed 55 mph because not only were trucks and highways built to handle higher speeds safely, many felt the 55 mph limit gave states a huge revenue stream from speeding fines, while limiting a driver's ability to make more money. True, highway fatalities have stayed flat since speed limits went up, but only on the trucking side -- fatalities on the general motoring public's side of the ledger continue to inch up every year.
But the real reason we need to go back is energy security. It's not about running out of oil; it's all about the countries that provide us with 60% of all the oil the U.S. consumes. Venezuela is in the thrall of a dictator that hates the U.S. Iraq's economy remains in shambles due to escalating terrorist and sectarian violence. Iran is pushing hard to get nuclear technology online -- and this is a nation whose constitution calls for the 'destruction of Israel.' Anybody out there believe they are NOT trying to build a nuclear bomb? And would NOT use it?
Diesel fuel is hovering near $3 a gallon now and the spigot is still wide open -- what if one of these nation's shuts it down? That's why we need to go back to 55 mph.

Green roofs are growing in New York, but slowly
By Daniel Wallace
Community arts center ABC No Rio is renovating its notoriously dilapidated four-story tenement building at 156 Rivington St. on the Lower East Side in the fashion of the Hanging Gardens of Babylon. Well, sort of.
One aspect of the renovation is that were installing a green roof, said Steven Englander, the director of ABC No Rio.
And while green roofs are not among the Seven Wonders of the World, they are in fact ancient technologies that resemble the stone terraces in Babylons Gardens, which were waterproofed with layers of reed, tar and tiles and which supported soil and vegetation. Green roofs building tops covered with a layer of soil and foliage are gaining popularity in modern urban settings.
For the next generation of architects and designers, its almost inherent that if at all possible you install a green roof, said Cameron Sinclair, executive director of Architecture for Humanity, an international nonprofit currently working on reconstruction projects in India, Sri Lanka and Pakistan, as well as several projects in New York, including ABC No Rios.
Sinclair said green roofs have an obvious aesthetic value amid the concrete expanse of a city. And they provide environmental benefits that are undeniable. Enough green roofs clustered together can reduce the urban heat island effect: cities are hotter than surrounding areas because of the heat-trapping properties of concrete and tall buildings. Green roofs can reduce air pollution by absorbing carbon dioxide and, acting both as insulator against the cold and shield against the suns radiation, they can lower energy costs of heating and cooling. Green roofs can also alleviate pressure on the citys wastewater system by absorbing storm-water runoff.
The role of the architect is to improve the environment of the community, said Sinclair. And if youre not doing that, youre doing the community a disservice. Its not a question of why would you install a green roof. Its why wouldnt you?
Well, for one thing, cost. According to Craig Tooman, an architect with the Manhattan-based firm Cutsogeorge, Tooman & Allen Architects, which has designed a green clubhouse building for the Lower East Side Girls Club, green roofs typically cost between $8 and $10 a square foot more than regular roofs. And the cost of maintenance for green roofs is obviously higher.
Sinclair said the cost of green roofs can be prohibitive for individual property owners. But with government support, in the form of incentives and grants, green roofs could be implemented on a citywide scale and could, potentially, provide an economic surplus, through reduced energy and wastewater costs.
Look at Chicago, Sinclair said. It sounds crazy, but Mayor Daley is probably the most environmental mayor in America right now.
Chicagos Mayor Richard M. Daley installed the countrys first municipal green roof atop City Hall in 2001. And he has introduced requirements and incentives to prod private businesses to follow suit. The New York Times reported in August that there were approximately 2 million square feet of green roofs already built or in the process of construction in Chicago.
Although proponents of green roofs in New York City have been lobbying City Hall to offer incentives to developers and property owners, Sinclair said New York is still far behind Chicago as well as behind many European and Asian cities in adopting environmental technologies such as green roofs.
Unfortunately, New York is lagging, he said.
Englander said he is surprised more buildings havent implemented green roofs.
Theyre the easiest thing to do, he said. Theres a basic sort of grid, into which you put panels that hold the soil. And you dont need that much soil.
A green roof typically consists of an insulation layer, a waterproof membrane, a root barrier to prevent the roots of plants from penetrating the waterproof layer, a drainage layer, a filter mat, soil and, finally, vegetation.
There are two basic types of green roofs: intensive and extensive. Extensive roofs require soil depth that ranges from as little as 1 to 5 inches. Intensive roofs require deeper soil to provide root space for larger plants like trees and shrubs.
Despite a slow start, green roofs are catching on in New York. According to Leslie Hoffman, director of Earth Pledge, a Manhattan-based nonprofit organization that has built green roofs atop local buildings, there are probably as many as 50 green roofs in New York City.
Thats a guess, she said. There could be more.
Last summer a green roof was installed atop Silvercup Studios in Long Island City, Queens, where parts of the HBO series The Sopranos are filmed. Also in Long Island City, the Pratt Institute Center for Community and Environmental Development is installing a green roof atop the 11,000-square-foot Gratz Industries building, which will be the citys first manufacturing building to install a green roof.
The Lower East Side Girls Club is constructing a three-building complex that will have two green roofs: one extensive and one intensive, where theyll grow herbs for their cafe. And, of course, ABC No Rios roof is soon to blossom.
Despite signs of progress, some within the architectural community are frustrated with New Yorks slow pace in adopting green roof technology.
Maybe Ill return to New York, Sinclair said over the phone from Bozeman, Montana. Once its been, you know, greened.

With Hamachi you can organize two or more computers with an Internet connection into their own virtual network for direct secure communication.
Hamachi is fast, secure and simple. It is also free.
External Links
Hamachi public networks for popular Games : www.hamachi.cz
English translate : www.eng.hamachi.cz
Individual help : www.Forum.hamachi.cz
Initial Configuration
To run Hamachi you need /dev/net/tun.
This is created by the tun module. As root run,
modprobe tun
Or you can manually create /dev/net/tun by running...
mkdir /dev/net mknod /dev/net/tun c 10 200
Also, make sure to add the "tun" modules to rc.conf so that /dev/net/tun is created next time your computer turns on.
MODULES=(... ... ... ... ... tun ... ... ...)
Download And Install Hamachi
From the AUR
Hamachi is available in the AUR, here.
Download the package, untar it, and run...
in the hamachi directory that is created.
Then add the package with...
pacman -A hamachi-(package version)
Now as root run...
Finally, run hamachi-init
Manual installation
Or you can get it manually.
Head to hamachi.cc and download their linux client.
Untar it
tar zxvf hamachi-x.x.x-x.tar.gz
cd hamachi-x.x.x-x make install
And run tunecfg
cd tuncfg ./tuncfg
Run hamachi-init
And thats the installation.
Version 2 betaVersion 2 of the Linux Hamachi client exists, and is currently in beta. It is available from the AUR under the name
logmein-hamachiOr from the labs page on the hamachi website.
Running Hamachi
Start up the (matt) daemon
$hamachi start
Now you have a whole bunch of commands at your disposal. These are in no particular order, and are fairly self explanitory.
$hamachi set-nick bob $hamachi login $hamachi create my-net secretpassword $hamachi go-online my-net $hamachi list $hamachi go-offline my-net
To get a list of all the commands just run:
$hamachi ?
Note: Make sure you change the status of the channel(s) you are in to online if you want to perform any network actions on computers in there.
As a Daemon
You can run hamachi as a daemon this way:
Copy your configuration to /root directory:
cp -R ~/.hamachi /root/
Create a script in /etc/rc.d/ called hamachi using your preferred editor:
. /etc/rc.conf . /etc/rc.d/functions DAEMON=/usr/bin/hamachi NAME=hamachi DESC="Hamachi VPN client" PID_FILE=/var/run/daemons/hamachi case "$1" in start) #Check for running tuntap, start when not running ck_daemon tuntap && /etc/rc.d/tuntap start stat_busy "Starting $DESC" $DAEMON -c /root/.hamachi $1 > /dev/null if [ $? -gt 0 ]; then stat_fail else add_daemon $NAME stat_done fi ;; stop) stat_busy "Stopping $DESC" [ -f $PID_FILE ] && $DAEMON -c /root/.hamachi $1 > /dev/null if [ $? -gt 0 ]; then stat_fail else rm_daemon $NAME stat_done fi ;; restart) $0 stop $0 start ;; *) echo "usage: $0 {start|stop|restart}" ;; esac exit 0
Remeber to add hamachi to your daemons array in /etc/rc.conf, it should be put after tuntap.
And don't forget to:
chmod +x /etc/rc.d/hamachi
Various GUI frontends to hamachi are available in the AUR.
For hamachi 1:
- haguichi (Gtk2, mono)
- ghamachi (Gtk2)
- hamachi-hui (Gtk2)
For hamachi 2 beta:
- quamachi (Qt4)
If Hamachi times out soon after launch
If hamachi stops working after a short period of time it can be that the client is timing out. Create ~/.hamachi/config and add the following to it:
KeepAlive 10
If you have problem connecting to some hosts
Check if they are using Hamachi2, if that is the case then it's a known issue in Hamachi2 client connecting to the Hamachi linux client.

NEW YORK (AP) — When the Dow first crossed 14,000, investors were overjoyed. When it closed at an all-time high of 14,253.77 on Tuesday, it wasn't so much a time for celebration as it was for reflection.
It's been a long five and a half years.
The ups and downs of the market touched us all in some manner. Jobs were lost. Retirements were delayed. Even those who came out mostly unscathed were still reaching for Alka-Seltzer during the many turbulent days.
Through it all, the stock market has slowly climbed back. And many of us have been left with a much more pragmatic view of the economy.
To mark the new record, The Associated Press asked three people to reflect on the fluctuations in the Dow Jones industrial average and how it shaped their own experiences. Here are their stories:
Vanessa Loder is the ultimate type-A person, the kind who's often attracted to Wall Street. A self-described perfectionist. An overachiever who graduated Phi Beta Kappa and summa cum laude from Columbia University while playing Division I varsity soccer.
"I thought it wasn't good enough to be smart or athletic, I needed to be both."
After college, there were jobs at Morgan Stanley and JP Morgan. By age 24, Loder was making $250,000 a year.
Loder then headed to Stanford Graduate School of Business, where she was co-president of the ski club. After graduating, she took a job with a San Francisco private equity firm.
It was the spring of 2007 and the stock market was on fire. Her hours were consumed with deal after deal.
The Dow just kept climbing. In April, it crossed 13,000. By July, it had passed 14,000.
One of the firm's partners came out of his office and announced the milestone. Many workers had their own investments.
"We were cheering. Everybody was in a good mood," Loder recalls. "And then within a few months, it all came to a halt."
Debt markets dried up. Few companies wanted to do mergers or acquisitions. Those that did couldn't get a loan to finance the deal.
"We were literally twiddling our thumbs in '08 and '09," Loder says.
Boredom set in, and Loder questioned why she was drawn to Wall Street in the first place.
I was totally unhappy and I couldn't understand why," she says. "I just felt lost. I felt like something was missing from my life."
So she quit.
Soul-searching took Loder about as far from finance as possible. She learned hypnosis and techniques to get subjects to conjure memories believed to be from past lives. She spent 10 days doing a silent meditation retreat.
"All this crazy stuff out there, it actually works," she says. "I was kind of shocked."
Today, at 34, Loder runs her own business helping women in finance and Silicon Valley who are unfulfilled by their careers. The company, Akoya Power, runs group coaching programs, corporate workshops and luxury retreats, which can cost up to $12,000 a person.
"If the Dow kept hitting a new high each month, I would have been so busy with deals that I would haven't had time or perspective," Loder says. "I'm so grateful that the economy slowed down the way it did. That triggered my boredom, which made me realize how unhappy I was."
Derek Kennedy spent the recession repeating the same message: stay the course.
The Tennessee financial adviser didn't have clients wake him in the middle of the night worried about their retirement. Instead, he offered plenty of proactive messages telling them to stick to their investment plan.
He'd start each phone call with a joke to break the tension.
"Just checking in," he'd say. "Have you been glued to CNBC? Are you chewing ice cubes?"
The he'd follow up with a somewhat reassuring point: when designing a retirement plan, they had planned for this. Well, not this exact meltdown, but something similar. While stocks were plunging, other parts of the portfolio — most notably Treasury notes — were showing a nice return and helping to lessen the overall loss.
"Stay cool. Times of market volatility are times of opportunity for well-constructed, well diversified and properly allocated investment portfolios," he told clients in an email March 15, 2011.
Two year before that, he had a similar message: stay the course.
Sound familiar?
"There really is no reasonable alternative than to remain patient," he wrote in 2009. "It is often hard not to be seduced into playing musical chairs with Wall Street, out of a desire to take at least some kind of action. Just remember, people are losing their chairs every day in these volatile markets."
He also noted for younger clients that the low stock prices of 2008 and 2009 will be history's equivalent of a "blue light special at Kmart." So buy while you can at the discounted prices.
Today, his clients are mostly whole again, but that doesn't mean they are complacent.
"They feel like it could all change on a dime again," Kennedy says. "They feel like it's only one economic or political event from being 2008 all over again."
His message — as it's always been — is to stay the course.
Mike Hall was working as a technology manager at a utility company in 2006. He was 57, had enough savings and decided to retire early.
Instead of collecting a monthly pension check, he decided to take a lump sum payout. He liked the idea that if he died unexpectedly, the money would pass on to his wife or daughter. He invested the money in stocks because the market was booming.
The Dow kept climbing.
"I was thinking: Things are going well. I made all the right moves. I was very secure," Hall says.
That euphoria didn't last long. The market's ascent quickly turned into a tumultuous tumble. Suddenly the decision to retire early, paired with liquidating his pension, didn't seem the best thing to do.
"My first thought: I can't believe it. I worked 33 years, I retired and six months later, boom, there it goes," Hall says. "I was convinced I had made two very bad choices."
At the market's low point, Hall's nest egg had lost 40 percent of its value.
Luckily, Hall and his wife had other sources of income and didn't need their savings immediately. She ran her own small business. He had already taken an entry-level job with the Department of Motor Vehicles to keep busy and get out of their Nevada home.
He never thought about selling.
"That's locking in your losses," Hall says. "You need to step back from your emotions."
Hall knew the problem wasn't his portfolio, but deeper economic issues and — at some point — the economy would recover.
Today, his portfolio is back to where it was at retirement.
"This isn't rocket science. This is basic, basic long-term investing," Hall says. "It's pretty boring stuff, but it really does work."

Mally's Cancellation Concealer System is a simple two-step system for instantly covering dark circles, small flaws, and blemishes. The creamy concealer never cakes, and Mally's translucent powder sets the concealer to create a look that lasts. The system comes packaged in a convenient, keep-it-together pouch with a double-ended brush.
- how to use
How to use
The trick is also in the application. We give you everything you need for a flawless finish and we have made it so simple!
Take the flat concealer brush and swirl it in the concealer (pink compact). Then, gently smooth it under your eye. Remember to only dab the concealer where you have darkness, avoiding the lines as that skin is lighter there. Another tip: if you are feeling a little extra tired, dab a bit on the inside of the bridge of your nose. It will brighten up your whole face!
Use the ultra-soft powder end of the brush to lightly dust your concealer with the sheer setting powder (silver compact). This important step not only sets your makeup so it lasts all day – it also brightens the under eye!

Let's climb Kilimanjaro!
I haven't plan this trip much, all I know is that I really want to climb Kilimanjaro and I don't want to do it alone. I'm still in college so I can't do this until 2013.
The best time to climb Kilimanjaro is in January-March and June-October. We would fly to Tanzania, climb Kilimanjaro and then you can do whatever you want. I would love to explore Africa better after we've finished climbing and whoever wants to join me would be welcome. To climb Kilimanjaro takes about 5-6 or 6-7 days, depends on which way we will choose to climb.
I really want to climb the mountains in Nepal as well and especially Mt. Everest as a example so it would be amazing if we could make a climbing group and plan a few trips!
If you'r not excited to climb Kilimanjaro then I will consider other mountains to climb! I have never climbed any mountains outside Iceland so I will have to find some easy mountains to start with...
I am flexible with the dates. I can go from 2013 to like 2018 I thing.
If you are a adventurous person like me who loves to climb, please join this group and go climb with me some day in the future!
Yeah and one more think, sorry if my spelling isn't correct. My language isn't English but I still know how to talk English, so that won't be a problem!
Let's climb Kilimanjaro!

Don Waddell has been around the NHL long enough to hear the alarm bells ringing before he even arrived in town. The man who oversaw the sale and move of a struggling Sun Belt franchise to Canada is joining the Carolina Hurricanes?
"That was the first thing I had to address with the staff," Waddell acknowledged this week over breakfast, one of dozens of get-acquainted meals he has brokered since taking over as team president last month.
His message: Waddell is here to grow the franchise, not move it.
Waddell is best known as the longtime general manager of the Atlanta Thrashers, a job he held for 12 years, but he has considerable experience on the business side of things as well.
He at one point oversaw the Thrashers, Atlanta Hawks and Philips Arena, before the hockey team moved to Winnipeg, ran minor-league franchises in San Diego and Orlando and served as a consultant for ownership groups interested in putting an NHL team in Seattle.
Hurricanes owner Peter Karmanos originally said he would handle the team's business operations himself in the wake of Jim Rutherford's departure as president and general manager, but two months later hired Waddell, an acquaintance from the NHL's Board of Governors who knew his days as a general manager were over and was looking to stay in the game.
Since then, Waddell has been making the rounds in the Triangle, meeting and eating with sponsors, politicians, businessmen, stakeholders and, on Thursday, the Centennial Authority, which oversees PNC Arena.
He knows the market as a visitor – both with the Thrashers and for the 2011 NHL All-Star Game, which left a lasting impression – but is now trying to learn it as a resident.
"This market has proven to be a pretty good hockey city," Waddell said.
"We have some challenges ahead of us, but I don't know of any opportunity where you're going to take over and not have challenges presented to you."
Waddell has been given the authority to evaluate every aspect of the franchise's operations aside from hockey, which remains the exclusive domain of new general manager Ron Francis.
It's really the first time such an appraisal has taken place since the franchise moved to North Carolina in 1997 – Waddell is the first person to focus solely on the business side of the franchise since Jim Cain departed in the fall of 2002 – and it's probably long overdue.
Growing revenue from sponsorships and ticket sales is Waddell's top priority, given the now annual drops in the season-ticket base during the team's five-year absence from the postseason. Both Waddell and Francis are busy making calls to season-ticket holders both current and former.
"My focus is on revenue-generating departments," Waddell said. "Obviously, I've still got lots of other departments that need time and service, but my biggest focus is how we're going to generate revenue in the short and long term."
In many ways, Waddell faces the same challenge on the business side Francis faces on the hockey side: Reversing the culture of complacency that has infected every level of the organization. Just as results on the ice have stagnated, so have the revenue streams that need to be keeping pace with the big-market teams that drive the continually increasing salary cap.
The team's lucrative TV deal with FS Carolinas is in place and the Hurricanes will benefit from the NHL's new national deals, but there's plenty of work to be done elsewhere.
"I'm a no-excuse guy. Don't use losing. Don't use weather," Waddell said. "The losing part, it's frustrating for everybody. But out of 30 teams, only 16 make the playoffs. If you're only going to base your business model on making the playoffs to be successful financially, you're going to have a lot of teams that fall short every year."

Artists: Mike Rubendall
Mike Rubendall
Kings Avenue Tattoo
844 North Broadway
Massapequa, NY 11758
What year did you start tattooing?
I started tattooing around 1995, 1996.
How did you get into tattooing?
At the age of 17 I had the pleasure of doing a rather rigorous apprenticeship under a man they call "Foot Long" Frank Romano. He took me under his wing and I tattooed with him for 10 years.
Where did you apprentice?
I apprenticed at Da Vinci Tattoo.
Do you have any special training?
As far as art, no. I do not have any sort of formal art training. Most of my artistic ability has been developed through tattooing. I never felt that I had any natural ability, so it was difficult for me at times to express myself onto the skin of paper. I just worked really hard to be a tattooer, and I think it's like anything else—you get out what you put in.
What conventions have you worked at?
I've been to over a hundred tattoo conventions over the years, national as well as international. I've been fortunate to work in places such as Japan, China, Scandinavia, Spain, Italy, Switzerland, and England.
How do you describe your style?
I'm not really certain how to describe my style. Starting out in a street shop and tattooing anything that walked through the door forced me to explore many different styles. I've always been heavily influenced by different types of Asian imagery and feel that it's strongly present in my work. I think it really lends itself to tattooing. It has been proved to stand the test of time, and it really captures the art of simplicity. I believe that my style is a result of the different art and artists that surround me. I try to take aspects of all different kinds of art and incorporate them into my tattooing to the best of my ability.
What inspires you as an artist?
I would have to say that I am a competitive person in some ways. If I'm inspired by something or someone it will motivate me to, in a strange way, almost analyze the fact of why I was moved in a particular way. This in turn inspires me to try to re-create or capture the same essence and incorporate the same feeling into my work.
What other mediums do you work in?
I also work with markers and watercolors.
What tattoo artists do you admire most?
Don Ed Hardy, Greg Irons, Horiyoshi, and Horitomo.
What kind of tattoos do you look forward to doing?
I look more forward to tattooing an interesting and unique person than the actual subject matter. I feel that the tattoo becomes the easy part when it is a pleasure to deal with a great client.
Have you tattooed any celebrities?
Yes, a few. The most notable would have to be Damon Dash and Evan Rachel Wood.
Is there anyone that you would like to tattoo?
I would have liked to have tattooed my dad before he died in 2007.
Before someone gets a tattoo what advice do you give them?
Basically I explain to people that they should do their homework. Research different artists and images and be sure they are making the right choice for the right reasons. There is no excuse why someone should receive a bad tattoo nowadays with all the information that is available through magazines, books, and the internet. People tend to get the tattoos they deserve.
Is there a tattoo that you haven't done yet that you are dying to do?
I have been fortunate enough to deal with many trusting clients who have given me plenty of artist freedom and allow me to make tattoos that I am really excited about. There are still a few I wish I could do over, though.
