Surfers normally make news when the "surf's up," but this week in Santa Cruz, in Northern California, the news was made when surfers noticed something strange when the surf was down, as in a very low tide.
Santa Cruz surfers discovered a small prehistoric skeleton Wednesday morning during a lower-than-usual low tide at the base of a cliff at Pleasure Point.
Experts say the bones were the vertebrae of a small whale that had been fossilized. It's not uncommon to find fossils along the coast, but this creature is upright and appears to be well preserved.
Gary Griggs, director of University of California Santa Cruz's Institute of Marine Sciences, told KSBW in Salinas that the skeleton was most likely an extinct Pliocene-era whale.
The Pliocene era was roughly 3 to 5 million years ago.
The bones were found just below the home of Jack O'Neill. O'Neill is known around the world for making wetsuits.
The surfers who made the discovery Wednesday were headed to a break water named "Jack's."
O'Neil is among the scores of people who checked out bones that date back to when dinosaurs ruled the world.
He says he never noticed it before even though he has looked down at that part of the beach every day for the past 40 years. "It's a new one," O'Neill told the Santa Cruz Sentinel.
Because of its location in the water, the bones are not likely to be excavated.
More of the creature is expected to be revealed over time, but experts are asking people to leave the bones as they lie.
The next lower than normal tide is not until mid-December. That is the next time the fossil is expected to give a good showing.

4channers Hate 4chan Founder's New Website
4chan's twenty-something founder Christopher "Moot" Poole just publicly launched his much-hyped new startup Canv.as, which is billed as "4chan for grown-ups." Does 4chan hate Canv.as? Of course it does.
Canv.as, which has raised $3.6 million in venture funding, is an unprecedented attempt to monetize the meme-making process 4chan perfected over seven years of troublemaking. Like 4chan, the site is based on users uploading and remixing funny pictures and .gifs. But Canv.as is supposed to be a clean, well-lighted place for memes —its three rules are "keep it safe for work," "Don't be mean," and "Stay on topic." It's the polar opposite of 4chan's meandering, porn-infested boards.
Today Canv.as was released into public beta, so anyone can sign up and start remixing pictures with the built in photo editor (they're mostly cat-based, right now) and compete for cartoon badges for exceptional work. But judging from the vitrolic feedback on 4chan, not many 4channers are going to try out their overlord's new baby. Here's just a sample of the comments about canv.as from 4chan and the Reddit thread where Moot announced the public beta:
there are fucking ready made hearts with lol in them over there, are you fucking crazy? are we 12 year old girls?
4chan has turned into complete fucking shit, and the concept of canv.as is a total fucking sellout. Retards creating shitty cookie cutter memes? Fuck that shit.
LOVE IS DEAD /b/
Oh fuck me.
Whats wrong guys? mite be cool, who knows.
Hey moot, requiring registering users to register with Facebook makes you a fucking candy-ass. I was actually going to register until you made me sign up with Facebook. FUCK YOU. Nobody gives a flying fuck about canvas, you already have an image board man! Just revamp 4Chan. I guess this means you don't care about 4Chan anymore? You're just gonna let it keep dying and move on to another site? Fuck off.
(Canv.as requires a Facebook account to login—sort of strange considering Moot's outspoken criticism of Facebook's anti-anonymity policies.)
The blowback highlights the tricky place Moot occupies as he tries to both convince the some 18 million 4channers that he's not abandoning 4chan, while luring them over to his new, money-making venture. (4chan has never been, and likely never will be, profitable.) Frankly, 4channers are right to be a bit jealous of Moot's new creation. It's hard to see how Moot will be able to equally nurture a successful start up and 4chan's /b/ message board, where a popular inside joke involves posting child porn when moderators aren't looking. Something's going to give, and we're guessing it will be the site that's not backed by millions in venture funding.

Should gay men be allowed to donate blood? A government health committee is re-examining that question today.
A regulation created at the height of the 1980s' AIDS epidemic banned men who have had sex with another man since 1977 from ever giving blood.
Advocacy groups, blood-collection organizations and some members of Congress are calling for the Food and Drug Administration to revise the lifetime ban, which has been reviewed twice in the past 10 years, but left unchanged.
Groups advocating lifting the ban point to frequent shortages in the blood supply. A new study by the Williams Institute at the UCLA School of Law estimated that if the ban on gay men ended, 219,000 additional pints of blood would be donated annually.
Gay rights organizations say the regulation discriminates against gay and bisexual men. They point out that heterosexual men who have had sex with an HIV-positive partner or a prostitute are barred from donating blood for only 12 months after that contact.
"We're asking the FDA to look at alternative policies [that also] protect the safety of the blood supply,'' says Sean Cahill, managing director of the Gay Men's Health Crisis, an HIV/AIDS organization.
The Red Cross and other blood-collection organizations recommend a one-year "deferral," or waiting period, on donations after male-to-male sex, saying the current lifetime ban, established in 1985, is scientifically unwarranted. The policies "should be applied fairly and consistently among donors who engage in similar risk activities," the Red Cross says.
A one-year deferral period on blood donation by a man who has had sex with another man would produce an estimated 89,000 additional pints, according to the Williams Institute study.
Weighing the HIV risk
The Health and Human Services advisory committee reviewing the policy will hear testimony today and Friday and issue recommendations. The final call, though, will be made by the FDA, experts say.
The FDA, explaining the current policy, points out that men who have had sex with men since 1977 have an HIV prevalence that's 60 times higher than the general population. The agency contends its first obligation is to ensure the safety of the blood supply.
Still, a group of U.S. senators and representatives, led by Sen. John Kerry of Massachusetts and Rep. Mike Quigley of Illinois, this week asked the FDA to end its "discriminatory" ban.
Earlier this year, the U.S. lifted a travel ban on HIV-positive individuals from entering the country. The Obama administration is basing policies "solely on science," not stigma and stereotypes, says Brian Moulton, chief legislative counsel for the Human Rights Campaign, an advocacy group.
Kimberly Hagen of the Center for AIDS Research at Emory University says that "from a public health perspective [the ban] no longer makes sense. The ability to screen the blood supply for HIV has become much better.'' A one-year deferral "makes tremendous sense,'' she says, making the donor pool as large as possible.
The National Hemophilia Foundation, though, will argue at the meeting for the continuation of current policy, pending further research. "We want the science to dictate the choice,'' says CEO Val Bias. "We don't want it to be an emotional issue.''
'Window period'
The FDA cites the "window period" between HIV infection and the ability to detect the disease as a crucial testing challenge. The current ban, the agency says, reduces the chance that a person would unknowingly donate blood during that period, considered roughly nine days.
The risk of getting HIV from a unit of blood has been lowered to about one per 2 million units transfused under existing policy, the agency says.
Yet federal donor restrictions are inconsistent. Gay men have a five-year deferral period on tissue donations, and no strict rules on organ donations, notes Gary Gates, co-author of the Williams Institute report.
A one-year wait period for gay men should have a negligible or no effect on blood safety, says Dr. Steven Kleinman, senior medical adviser for AABB, a transfusion medicine accreditation organization that supports a one-year deferral
Italy, Spain and France now screen donors for high-risk sexual behavior, not sexual orientation, while Argentina, Australia and Japan have a one-year deferral period, says the Gay Men's Health Crisis.
Gay men are often stigmatized at blood drives at their companies and schools, and many would like to donate, Cahill says.

A master limited partnership (MLP) is a publicly traded limited partnership. Shares are called "units" and trade on an exchange. Most MLPs are in the energy industry.
MLPs and corporations are not the same. A corporation is a distinct entity, from both a legal and tax standpoint. Though shareholders contribute capital, they do not incur any liability for the corporation's financial obligations.
An MLP is an aggregate of its partners. As a result, the limited partners are liable for the partnership's obligations and could potentially be forced to repay any capital distributions received. (While this is rare, the rule can impact investors even after they have sold their units, depending on liability's creation date.)
To qualify for MLP status, a company must receive at least 90% of its income from interest, dividends, real estate rents, the sale or disposition of real property, commodities or commodity futures, and mineral or natural resources activities.
MLPs also differ from corporations in terms of their tax structure. Corporations, as a distinct tax entity, pay taxes on earnings. Conversely, MLPs do not pay taxes on income. The earnings and the tax liability are passed along to unit holders. An investor's share of the partnership's net income is taxed at his or her individual tax rate.
Even though the MLP passes pretax income to investors, actual cash distributions are made to unit holders based on a "distributable cash flow."
The cash flow distributions are not taxed when they are received by investors but are considered reductions in the investment's cost basis (the per unit price paid for the investment). The cost basis is reduced by the net of cash distributions and amount paid in taxable income. For example, if each unit of the MLP pays $2 in income tax and earns $5 in distributable cash flow, then the cost basis of the investment is lowered by $3. If the original cost was $17 per unit, then the cost basis is lowered to $14.
The lowering of the cost basis creates a tax liability that is deferred until units of the MLP are sold. If the investment's cost basis falls to zero, cash distributions become immediately taxable. Continuing the above example, if the investor sells a unit at $20, the unit holder pays capital gains tax on the $6 difference between the cost basis and the selling price.
Cash distributions are not guaranteed or required, but investors are taxed on their share of income whether or not a cash distribution is made.
MLP unit holders can avoid the double taxation of corporations paying dividends. Unit holders can also defer taxes on cash distributions.
MLPs can typically make larger cash disbursements, leading to higher yields as compared to stocks and bonds.
Historically, MLPs have low correlations with both stocks and bonds. Many investors use MLPs to diversify their holdings.
Owning units of an MLP can be complicated come tax time. Investors need to track and pay their portion of taxes on income. Investors also need to track the cost basis of the investment based on cash disbursements and taxes paid.
Due to the structure of the MLP, all partners are liable for loans and other obligations. Cash disbursements can also be clawed back if needed to pay outstanding obligations.

If you held a MLP in a Roth Account of a IRA why would there be additional tax consequences whn you sell. As wouldn't the Roth should be tax free at time of sale and the IRA you would be paying on the total ???

MLP is a great structure for capital appreciation when Rates are low and industry reduces fixed debt structure. Going forward as income taxes increase MLP will become even more desirable. I DCF will rise as the enonomy accelerates.
John from AZ posted over 6 years ago:
"Complicated" is certainly an understatement of the tax rules vis-a-vis MLP's owned in a Roth IRA and the potential claw-back is really news!
I thought that all earnings in a Roth were tax-exempt; now I learn that MLP cash distributions(i.e.,dividends) are eventually taxable as either (1)capital gains ( are these gains distinguishable between long term and short term?) if the sales price exceeds the adjusted cost basis or (2) as dividends to the extent that they exceed an adjusted cost basis of zero.
Have I interpreted Ms.Scatizzi's explanation accurately?
Max from HI posted over 5 years ago:
It was my understanding that cash distributions from MPLs held in IRAs were not taxable if they were less than $1000. Is that correct?
In case of a sale does the MLP supply you with your cash basis in your units?

The following is a list of typical projects that require inspection:
During the course of construction and at the time of building occupancy, building officials inspect a building for compliance with the building permit documents and the Ontario Building Code. We receive many requests from builders, architects, professional engineers, owners and members of the public for information on what specifically our inspectors check for during construction. The following checklists can be of assistance to those responsible for ensuring a structure is built to code.(1)

Where NL players, Tony LaRussa went wrong with All-Star picks
After looking at the All-Star voting, I feel a little sheepish about complaining about the selections of the players and manager Tony LaRussa.
But in the end, the Giants ended up with four All-Stars, three of which deserved to be there — Melky Cabrera, Buster Posey and Matt Cain.
You could make the argument that there were more deserving players than Pablo Sandoval. But you could also say the Giants had two All-Star snubs — Ryan Vogelsong and Sergio Romo. You could even make a case for Madison Bumgarner or Santiago Casilla.
Some have argued that Sandoval's election to start the All-Star game cost Vogelsong a spot. It's possible that it's true and it's not true.
To explain that, we need to take a harder look at the selection process.
The All-Star team, as it stands now, is compiled in three parts: Fan voting for starters (8), players' vote for eight pitchers and eight reserves (basically the backup at every position, and nine players added by LaRussa to fill out the roster and make sure each team is represented.
After the fans voted in the starters, the players voted in these eight position players:
1B Bryan Lahair, Cubs; 2B Jose Altuve, Astros; SS Starlin Castro, Cubs; 3B David Wright, Mets; C Yadier Molina, Cardinals; OF Carlos Gonzalez, Rockies; OF Ryan Braun, Brewers; OF Andrew McCutchen.
And the following pitchers (5 starters and 3 relievers) …
Craig Kimbrel, Braves; Aroldis Chapman, Reds; Gio Gonzalez, Nationals; Stephen Strasburg, Nationals; R.A. Dickey, Mets; Matt Cain, Giants; Lance Lynn, Cardinals; Joel Hanrahan, Pirates.
MoreSplashHits takes no offense to most of the players' selections. But two picks actually caused some issues.
1B Bryan LaHair, Cubs: This selection wasn't too bad, almost a month ago. On June 7, LaHair had 12 home runs and was hitting .311. Now, he's hitting .284 and he's only hit one more homer. With the callup of Anthony Rizzo, LaHair isn't even starting every day … for a last-place club. The best selection would have been Paul Goldschmidt of the Diamondbacks. Goldschmidt has 11 HR, 35 RBI and is hitting .292. His slash line of .292/.367/.540 is better than LaHair's of .284/.364/.526, and it would have given Arizona it's lone representative that instead went to Wade Miley, costing another pitcher a spot.
SP Lance Lynn, Cardinals: Lynn was 10-2 with 2.42 ERA on June 13, shortly before player voting starting. But since he's given up 17 runs in 15.1 innings. He's 10-4 with a 3.62. But two of those starts may have occurred after player voting ending.
We do take greater issue with some of Tony LaRussa's selections.
LaRussa picked Carlos Ruiz, c, Phillies; Ian Desmond, ss, Nationals; Jay Bruce, of, Reds; Giancarlo Stanton, of, Marlins; Cole Hamels, sp, Phillies; Jonathan Papelbon, rp, Phillies; Clayton Kershaw, sp, Dodgers; Wade Miley, sp, Diamondbacks; and Huston Street, rp, Padres.
We have no problem with the selections of Ruiz, Kershaw and Stanton. Frankly, we're stunned the players didn't vote for Ruiz and let LaRussa pick Molina.
When the players picked LaHair over Goldschmidt, it forced LaRussa's hand to pick Miley as the Diamondbacks' lone representative. And we also aren't too bent out of shape over the Bruce pick. We probably would have gone with Michael Bourn of the Braves, but it's a close call. Plus, Bourn likely will make the team as an injury replacement for Matt Kemp if Bourn doesn't win the fan voting for the final spot on the NL roster.
There are picks we have big beefs with:
Huston Street: Yes, we know Street is the Padres' lone representative. But we feel Chase Headley would have been the better choice. Street has been great this season, but in limited action as he missed a month of the season on the DL. Headley would have been a more meaningful pick for Padres' fans. He's a product of San Diego's system and figures to be with the Padres longer than Street. Street was acquired in the offseason, missed a month on the DL and likely won't be with the team come August. If Headley is on the team, Ian Desmond likely is not, but it would have opened a slot for another, more deserving reliever … i.e. Sergio Romo (2-1, 0.79 ERA). But set-up guys don't get the love, even though Romo has been lights-out this season, and lights-out last season, too.
Cole Hamels: Hamels was great in April and May, not so great in June (especially early June). He was 8-1 with 2.43 ERA on May 28, but 2-3 since then. His ERA sits at 3.08. Not bad. But it cannot compare to Johnny Cueto's 9-4 and 2.26 ERA. LaRussa said he passed on Cueto because he was set to pitch the Sunday before the All-Star Game. Completely stupid. You pick the most deserving player, then let the schedule play itself out. If Cueto was declared unavailable for the ASG, pick a replacement.
Jonathan Papelbon: Four relievers is plenty for an All-Star Game. Once LaRussa opted to make Street the Padres' rep, he should have looked to another starter, of which there are plenty of good candidates. As for Papelbon, again he started very hot, saving his first 9 chances with a 0.82 ERA. One bad outing in early May led his ERA to blow up to 3.00. He worked it back down to 2.02. But his last three outings haven't gone so well. He twice allowed the opposing team to take the lead, only to get the win when the Phillies rallied to win in the bottom of the inning. His ERA is now at 3.03 and his last outing was June 26, plenty of time for LaRussa to notice there are better candidates like Ryan Vogelsong (7-3, 2.26), James McDonald (8-3, 2.45) or Chris Capuano (9-3, 2.69).
Now, it's possible that Sandoval's election kept Vogelsong off the team. LaRussa may not have wanted to give the Giants five spots on the team and end up with more than his own World Series champion Cardinals, who also had four (Molina, Furcal, Beltran and Lynn).
There could have been backlash with Sandoval's election because it kept David Wright from winning the start, then the players would have voted for the backup, which may have cost another Cardinal a spot (David Freese). As it is, Freese is one of the five finalists for the Final Spot vote.
Again, it's hard to complain too much when the Giants landed five on the All-Star Game last year: One who was voted on by the players (Brian Wilson) and three who were picked by manager Bruce Bochy (Cain, Tim Lincecum and Vogelsong). Sandoval was later added as an injury replacement.
The chances of Giants being added as late replacements this year aren't good. There are two All-Stars battling injuries right now: Matt Kemp (who is unlikely to play) and Joey Votto (who is iffy). But there is little chance of Brandon Belt or Angel Pagan being added.
As for the pitchers, LaRussa specifically avoided pitchers who may pitch on Sunday, so that won't be a factor.
Cain, Dickey, Hamels, Miley and Lynn pitch Thursday, Strasburg and Kershaw pitch Friday, and Gonzalez pitches Saturday.

Let him walk
Resign him and keep him long term
Resign him and trade him January 2013 with Amare
A big part of the NBA's new CBA will be a "renegotiation and extension" provision.
It will allow players to be paid a smaller amount over a long period, but the salary cannot decrease by more than 40 percent.
A renegotiated salary previously could only increase a salary.
Just another reason in the long list of reasons Melo should have signed with us instead of demanding we give a whole team for him so he can make an extra $1.45 mil a year.

No, I'm titillated for real that D'antoni called out Melo and "spacing".
D'antoni smells the blood of a world-beating offense (and team) that he's envisioned us having. Ain't going to mess around now the basic personal and momentum has arrived.

It doesn't look like the Safe Routes to Schools program addressed all public schools that Mountain View residents attend (see Page 88 of 124). Parts of Mountain View are served by Santa Rita, Almond, Covington, Egan, Blach, Los Altos High, and Bullis Charter School. These schools need to be considered because crossings of El Camino and San Antonio are involved. I know many kids in the Crossings who cross El Camino and San Antonio to get to school by bike or scooter everyday.

The number of acceptable pedestrian fatalities in this city is ZERO. If car drivers aren't willing or able to pay attention at the current speed limits, then the city needs continue to reduce road speeds until the streets are safe. We should all be willing to pay an extra minute of commute time per day for much safer streets.

The report could use a little editing. Girls Middle School was replaced by Waldorf more than a year ago, and its been quite a while since there was an Alpha Beta at Rengstorff and Middlefield.

What's more important, 5% that walk and ride bikes or the 95% that drive? Road diets don't work for car traffic, they will make the side streets have more traffic. It's already happening on Rengstorff, lot easier to use the side streets then to wait for the lights.

We absolutely must make our Mountain View streets idiot-proof. The ever expanding idiot population mandates it.

If idiots were killing themselves, maybe we could let them keep doing it to improve the gene pool. When idiots are killing innocent people, a civilized society needs to put an end to it no matter what the cost.

On south bound El Camino in Palo Alto, just before University Ave, there is a sign that says "Trucks use San Antonio", hence sending Palo Altos truck traffic trough Los Altos and Mountain View. No wonder San Antonio is such a mess, and over crowded. My Los Altos living friends dont use San Antonio to get to 101 even though it is the most direct route for them. So they use Rengstorff!,
Need I say more.

Kman- The 99.9995% that walk, ride, and drive are all important. There's no need to exclude anyone. We have some really smart people here so let's make the effort to find a plan that works for everyone. Some roads should prioritize cars while others do so for bikes and pedestrians.
Zero fatalities is not possible due to true accidents, but it's a good goal nonetheless. If we work together to make this city--our home--work for everyone we'll all be happier.
As for shunting truck traffic to San Antonio, I suspect that that's done to optimize flow. Yes, it inconveniences some while improving it for the majority. The key is to avoid inconveniencing that few consistently.
Traffic flow is a hard problem but one well worth getting right.

"The number of acceptable pedestrian fatalities in this city is ZERO."
This is such silly thinking. A zero defect mentality only creates organizations that are terrifid to make any decisions because all decisions have a certain amount of risk.
We can never reach ZERO fatalities. We're dealing with humans here. There is always someone willing to do something we never expected.. and die while doing it.

Typical Mtn View public works:
We'll plan a plan to have a plan so we can plan the plan then we can study the plan to make a study of the plan so we can study the study.
My prediction after the Cal avenue recklessness was that nothing would get done or change, and so far its true.
And yes drivers are short cutting through Monte Loma to avoid the Rengstorff Central mess, and crowding the bike boulevards to do it!

Just paged through the web link. It's some kind of joke right?
Glaciers move faster than these studies and surveys.
And why all the blank pages. Basically the "plan" says there is no plan.
It looks like some cut and paste that a high school sophomore put together.
Sorry to be so critical, but my dealing with the traffic calming entities in this city have gotten no where and this "plan" is exhibit 1 of the inertia of city bureaucrats.

Wait until all the El Camino developments are completed. Then we'll have a real mess. Enjoy San Antonio / El Camino while you can...when that project is complete, that intersection and surrounding traffic will be a nightmare.
We've been too accepting of the notion that high density housing should be built along major corridors, as those locations will result in those folks using public transportation. That's a pipe dream, and my hunch is that there's been little push back because at least in premise, it "feels" good...after all, it sounds ecological, and keeps developments out of other neighborhoods.
The reality is that most/all of the folks in those new developments will still have the 1 or 2 cars everyone else has. It's conceivable they may use public transportation at a slightly higher rate, but the vast majority will still be driving. If anything, today's work force is more transitional than in the past...people don't work for one company for 20 years...even if you locate near your current workplace, that workplace (and your commute plan) will likely change in a few years. Having kids also changes commute routes.
I'm sure the pro-bike, pro-"close a lane on El Camino" supporters will vehemently disagree. But this is one where there will soon be no need for conjecture...the impacts will be plain for all to see.
This is not to be anti-safety. I'm all for slowing speed limits in some areas and improving pedestrian safety. I'd be fine with lowering the speed limits on California. As another example, every crosswalk on Shoreline should have flashing lights...on a dark night, with 3 lanes in each direction, it's extremely difficult to spot someone hoping to cross.
My major objection is to the notion of road "diets"...that's ill conceived, doesn't match reality, and would be a major flop. I don't want our community to have to spend multi-millions to reverse direction on something that should be common sense.
a resident of Shoreline West
on Jan 12, 2013 at 8:05 pm
One major problem for safe pedestrian crossing is this: The law (on various signs) tells motorists to stop for pedestrians IN crosswalks. This would mean that a mother with a child in a stroller needs to be IN the crosswalk as a signal to drivers to stop. Who would trust a driver to do that by stepping off the curb?
The second problem is "immigrants"--no, not necessarily people from other countries, but people from other parts of the US, where the priority for pedestrians in crosswalks is not codified in traffic law. The influx of hundreds of thousands of drivers from other states may explain why most of the time I try to cross Shoreline or Castro, drivers think they have right-of-way over me as long as they don't run me (and other pedestrians) down. Many of these people work in great jobs in Silicon Valley, and are unaware of pedestrian rights because they don't have California driver's licenses yet or didn't pay attention to the handbook.)

Turning MV into a more walkable/ride-able city will make it a more attractive place to live, which is good for property values :)

Perhaps Shoreline Blvd can be narrowed from 6 lanes to 4 lanes between Central Expy and El Camino. I assume that many people do not know that the roadway became as wide as it is now way back in 1970!

The gridlock being created from the city's lust for higher density is already slowing traffic to absurdity... let's take some lanes away from our most heavily traveled streets. That will help things immesurably.

on Jan 17, 2013 at 12:21 pm
What made the Romans so great, there roads. Like i said before, roads are like arteries and veins, the bigger one gets, the bigger they need to be. This reverse logic of narrowing roads is basically going against all logic. Our forefathers that build our roads knew this and that is why the roads are nice and big. To distroy this would create chaos.

Election Coordinator Sherry Polsgrove recommended the commission approve purchasing 20 sets of 6.5-foot tablet cords for $288; 15 turntables for $180 and once case of 50 reclosable bubble bags for $100. All purchases will come from the general supply fund.
Polsgrove said the cords that came with the tablets is too short. The devices will be placed on the turntables with the new cords during voting and will be stored inside the bubble bags in the cases when not in use.
"I think they would be clever to have," Commissioner Portia Short said.
Commissioners approved Polsgrove attending three training sessions during April in Little Rock.
"They're having a training session every Friday in April," Polsgrove said. "I'm really interested in going to three of them."
Polsgrove said she has no interest in attending the April 18 session because the subject doesn't apply to her.
"The sessions are supposed to be really casual and hands-on," Polsgrove said. "I can stop them and ask questions as they come up."
Polsgrove advised the commission that ballots were scheduled to arrive today. She said she would check in the absentee ballots and take them to the county clerk's office. Commissioners agreed to meet April 15 to count the other ballots. The commission ordered 8,190 Republican ballots; 2,280 Democrat ballots; 280 nonpartisan ballots; 1,000 absentee Republican ballots; 350 absentee Democrat ballots; and 275 absentee nonpartisan ballots.
Polsgrove gave commissioners a list of final election dates and times. The tentative polling locations were on the list. Commissioners have until April 21 to change a location.
Early voting will begin at 8 a.m. May 5 and continue 8 a.m. to 6 p.m. weekdays and 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. Saturdays through May 19. Polls will be open 7:30 a.m. to 7:30 p.m. on Election Day, May 20.

Twins get used to Target Field without Morneau
By Rhett Bollinger / MLB.com
MINNEAPOLIS -- It was a strange scene in the clubhouse at Target Field on Friday, as it marked the first time the Twins played at home since trading long-time first baseman Justin Morneau to the Pirates on Saturday.
Morneau had vacated the corner locker across from Joe Mauer, and veteran left fielder Josh Willingham had moved in.
"It's weird," said Mauer, who had been teammates with Morneau since 2004. "Just weird in the clubhouse -- cleaning out his locker. I've talked to him a number of times since it happened. I'm happy for him. He's back in that atmosphere that all of us players want to be in with the playoffs and chasing the postseason. He's doing better."
Twins manager Ron Gardenhire also admitted that it's been strange not seeing Morneau around at Target Field, but added that he's been impressed with outfielder Alex Presley, who was acquired in the trade. In his first four games with the Twins, Presley hit .389 (7-for-18) with a double, a homer and five RBIs.
"It's different," Gardenhire said about not having Morneau in the clubhouse. "He'd been there a long time, ever since this place opened."
Mauer still has symptoms, but hopes to return soon
MINNEAPOLIS -- Joe Mauer took batting practice on the field before Friday's game against the Blue Jays, but said he's not ready to make his return, as he's still feeling concussion-like symptoms.
Mauer, who suffered a concussion on a foul tip while catching on Aug. 19 and was placed on the disabled list the next day, has been working out at Target Field for the last week. The original hope was that he would be ready to rejoin the Twins on Friday.
"We don't really have a timetable -- hopefully sooner than later," Mauer said. "It's been a process. I'm just trying to get back out there as soon as I can. It was a good day today."
Mauer also ruled out the possibility of shutting it down for the season; he wants to play as soon as he's cleared by doctors.
"I'm not programmed that way," Mauer said. "I want to go out there as soon as I can. I love this game. Hopefully, I can be out there soon."
Twins general manager Terry Ryan echoed Mauer's statement, as he said he believes Mauer will return this year and added that Mauer will remain at catcher upon returning.
"I don't think there's any doubt that's going to happen," Ryan said. "He hasn't had any setbacks. He's making progress every day. We certainly have our sights set on some point here in the month of September."
Worth noting
• Gardenhire said he expects more September callups to join the club once Triple-A Rochester's season ends. They're currently in the playoffs against Triple-A Pawtucket. Infielder Eduardo Escobar and first baseman/outfielder Chris Parmelee are likely to be recalled.
"Another infielder would be nice," Gardenhire said. "To have another backup infielder, we should be able to get that, and somebody else to help at first base, and whoever else they decide that deserves it down there at the end."
• Infielder Doug Bernier is dealing with a sore right elbow but is available off the bench, according Gardenhire. Bernier's injury is not considered serious.
• The Twins named outfielder Byron Buxton as their Minor League Player of the Month for August, while left-hander Taylor Rogers was named Pitcher of the Month. Buxton, ranked the No. 1 overall prospect by MLB.com, hit .402 with 21 runs and 16 stolen bases in 26 games. Rogers posted a 0.88 ERA in six starts with Class A Advanced Fort Myers.

Trek to another planet in a Sci-Fi novel. Number 22 in a series of uses for your library card.
Whatever genre of fiction you enjoy, such as horror, romance, or crime, you can find it within science fiction. (Even the western: Star Trek was pitched as Wagon Train to the stars; and Han Solo, like Shane, embodies the reluctant hero with a fast draw.)
In science fiction, anything is possible. It's the ultimate "what if...." The sun can never set, time can stand still, love can resurrect the dead, and pigs can fly. But for a science fiction novel to be convincing it must be true to its own logic. Creating new worlds that are amazing, exciting, frightening and somehow real defines the best science fiction writing.
Books likely to appear on Best Science Fiction lists include titles such as Orson Scott Card's Ender's Game, Frank Herbert's Dune, William Gibson's Neuromancer, Isaac Asimov's Foundation trilogy, Robert Heinlein's The Moon Is A Harsh Mistress, Kim Stanley Robinson's Mars trilogy and Ursula K. Le Guin's The Dispossessed. All those books and more are available at Great River Regional Library.

BUT how come people on this forum say its bad to start the crosses at the bottom?? Should I listen to Wilson or listen to you people on this forum and use a ATW method instead? The wilson instructions say to start the crosses at the top for only the racquets where the mains end at the top, and there is only like one or two racquets that do.

WESTMINSTER, Colo. -
The search for a missing 10-year-old Westminster girl shifts to Superior after a water bottle was found with her name on it.
A Superior resident sent an e-mail to the town of Superior with the subject line of "backpack found" that said: "Found this morning on the side walk at Andrew Drive and Alpha Court. Water bottle has 'Jessica Ridgeway' name on it. Come and get it." The resident apparently didn't connect the name to the missing girl.
The area where the discovery was made is about 4 miles from where Jessica Ridgeway disappeared.
Police have closed off streets in the Rock Creek subdivision so they could bring in search dogs.
"If you live in the Rock Creek subdivision, please do not disturb any items that you may find. Police are currently using bloodhounds and ask that if you have a dog to keep him/her indoors as long as possible," said Westminster police spokesman Trevor Materasso. "We also ask that you stay out of the area as long as possible. We apologize for the inconvenience and understand we are asking for a great amount of cooperation."
Christine Wiedinmyer told the (Boulder) Daily Camera that the original tip was e-mailed by one of her neighbors, and she, too, saw the backpack on the sidewalk around 8:15 Sunday morning as she was headed out. She said it didn't really strike her at first because there often are children's bikes or toys left about in the neighborhood.
"It's horrifying," Wiedinmyer told the newspaper, as she waited in a line of cars to get into the subdivision. "I want to get home. My daughters are so worried."
Police scheduled a 5 p.m. briefing which will be livestreamed on TheDenverChannel.com and carried live on Denver's 7.
Police said Jessica was last seen walking to Chelsea Park in the area of 107th Avenue and Moore Street around 8:30 a.m. Friday where she was to meet several friends before walking to Witt Elementary School. Jessica's mother stood in the front yard of their home at 10768 Moore St. until her daughter was out of sight.A massive search in Westminster Saturday failed to turn up any sign of a missing 10-year-old girl who disappeared while walking to school Friday.
Police said Jessica Ridgeway was last seen walking to Chelsea Park in the area of 107th Avenue and Moore Street around 8:30 a.m. Friday where she was to meet several friends before walking to Witt Elementary School.
Jessica never showed up at school.
Sunday police brought in a new team of search dogs to help look for clues.
Police said they will not be using volunteers to help look for Ridgeway Sunday. About 800 people showed up to help with the search Saturday, said Westminster police spokesman Trevor Materasso.
"This morning I really expected maybe a hundred people, so to have that many, it was just amazing," Materasso said. "I watched one gentleman putting plastic bags on his feet because his feet were soaked through, his shoes were soaked through and he was going back out again."
Buses of volunteers were sent to open spaces in Mayfair, Countryside, Ketner and Chelsea as well as the Westminster Hills Dog Park and Standley Lake.
"It was really emotional because you're looking in ditches and you're looking in culverts and you're looking through sewer drainage pipes. On the one hand again, you're hoping you might find a boot with a pom pom and on the other hand, you're hoping you don't," said volunteer Marsha Orr. "My 7-year old son is such an amazing gift to me. To not know where he was spending a cold night, it would rip my heart out."
A dive team searched Ketner Reservoir Saturday afternoon. The search was "done as a search tool to rule out the lake," police said.
The search area covered on Saturday was from 92nd Avenue to 112th Avenue and from Indiana Street to Wadsworth Boulevard.
Materasso said police will follow up on more than 100 tips.
Authorities have said they don't think Jessica was abducted by an acquaintance or relative. The girl's father lives in Missouri and has been accounted for there.
Jessica's great-grandmother, Donna Moss, said police were at her home where the father was staying Friday night. They asked to search the home and were given permission, she said.
"We'd do anything to get her back, safely alive," Moss said. "We want her back as soon as we can get her."
Westminster police also said they don't think Jessica ran away because she is emotionally stable.
Members of the FBI as well as the Center for Missing and Exploited Children have joined the search.
Police investigators and volunteers collected socks and other clothing items around Chelsea Park on Saturday, police spokesman Trevor Materasso said. The socks were placed in evidence bags to be checked further.
"We can't say at this point whether these are or are not related," Materasso said.
Police also checked every registered sex offender in the area.
Jessica is 4 feet 10 inches tall and weighs 80 pounds. She has blonde, shoulder-length hair with blue eyes. She was last seen wearing blue jeans, black boots with pom poms, a black puffy jacket and pink and purple glasses. She also had a black and pink backpack with a Disney character on it.
Anyone with information on the possible whereabouts of Jessica is asked to call Westminster police at 303- 658-4336 or e-mail firstname.lastname@example.com

The Church History Museum is packing them in, as usual. It's general conference time for The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints and people from around the world are checking out the tens of thousands of artifacts that spell out the church's history.
That includes one of the earliest such artifacts: pages from the manuscript from which the first edition of the Book of Mormon was printed in 1830.
The manuscript was handwritten by Oliver Cowdery as Mormon Prophet Joseph Smith dictated his translation of the ancient golden plates that had been given to him by an angel.
After the translation, the angel took back the plates. The manuscript is the only tangible evidence remaining of what might be called the original Mormon moment.
And yet, it is hardly the biggest draw, this Holy Grail of Mormonism. There are no ropes set up to handle the throngs waiting to catch a glimpse. No sentries standing guard. The martyrdom exhibit around the corner gets a lot more traffic. So does the early pioneer artwork on the walls.
"They're not standing in line like they do for the Gutenberg Bible," says Joan Crowther, a volunteer museum docent, as she shows off the manuscript. "But it really couldn't be more important, could it?"
Kurt Graham, the museum's director, agrees.
"The coolest thing we have here is the handwritten manuscript of Oliver Cowdery; what could be more of a link to who we are than that?" he observes.
Still, it's no match for the death masks.
"We don't keep exact numbers, but anecdotally I would say the death masks is our top draw," Graham says, referring to the masks that were formed after Joseph Smith and his brother Hyrum were killed by an anti-Mormon mob at the jail in Carthage, Ill., in 1847.
The death masks are the focal point of an exhibit that also displays pistols, a cane and the famous watch that reputedly saved future Mormon prophet John Taylor's life on that fateful day.
Graham theorizes why the martyrdom display is more popular.
"It's more of a human story, a dramatic story, than the publication of a book, even though the publication of the book is the foundation of everything we are," he muses. "Who wouldn't have wanted to be a fly on the wall in the Carthage jail … then again, who wouldn't have wanted to be a fly on the wall when Joseph Smith was translating the Book of Mormon?"
As is so often the case with valuable relics, the path to the museum wasn't an easy one for the manuscript.
It remained in Joseph Smith's personal possession until October 1841, when he was building his home, known as the Nauvoo House, in Nauvoo, Ill. For safekeeping he placed the pages of the manuscript, along with other mementos, in the cornerstone of the foundation.
There the pages stayed for 41 years until 1882 when additional construction of the Nauvoo House unearthed the capsule.
By this time, the church had long since relocated its headquarters to Salt Lake City and Joseph Smith's widow, Emma, had remarried a man named Lewis Bidamon.
It was Bidamon who discovered the manuscript in the cornerstone. Much of it was water soaked and hard to read, but he dried it out and for the next several years handed out bits and fragments to family and friends on their visits to his home.
Over the next half-century, many of those bits and fragments, representing about 28 percent of the manuscript, found their way back to the church through donations.
The rest is either destroyed or sitting in someone's attic.
As you might suspect, the existing manuscript is treated with extreme care.
The pages have been separated and laminated with cellulose acetate film and tissue and to protect them from light damage, the pages in the museum exhibit rotate on a regular basis.
At that, the handwriting is barely visible.
But it is visible, and open daily to public view. You'll find it just around the corner from John Taylor's watch.

Anyone have a livestream link to the Knicks Magic game? Hook me up!
Umm... Either your putting words in my mouth or your confusing me with another poster or just making up lies to make yourself feel better about life in general.
I never ONCE stated that MDA's defensive coaching allowed players to "not give 100% effort". Please find a quote or a link before believing your own lies bro.
It's sad that a supporter of a head coach can't even make a post asking for defensive intensity from our two superstars making about 40M combined..... Without getting attacked all because x supports the coach while y doesn't. It's became a hatred around here. Nice insight you added to the gameday thread though. Out of all the things you could have talked about, you went out of your way to try & correct another fan with story telling.

While Other Retailers Settled, Newegg Crushes Shopping Cart Patent Troll on Appeal
Shane McGlaun
January 28, 2013 10:06 AM
Recipient E-mail
Sender E-mail
"We basically took a look at this situation and said, this is bullshit." -- Newegg Chief Legal Officer Lee Cheng
Patent troll Soverain sued 50 different high-profile e-commerce websites over patent infringement (some big names like Amazon, Avon, and Victoria's Secret actually settled for millions with Soverain), alleging that it owned three patents pertaining to digital shopping carts. Early on, the case looked rocky for Newegg, an online technology products retailer, when the judge overseeing the case refused to allow Newegg to argue that the Soverain patent was invalid.
However, on appeal Newegg's legal team was able to trot out prior artwork to help get the patent case defeated. That prior artwork came from 1984 in the form of a magazine ad from CompuServe bragging about an electronic mall. The District Court judge had originally denied the invalidity argument because the judge said there wasn't "sufficient testimony" and that making the argument to the jury would be "very confusing" to them.
Soverain continued to argue that the system CompuServe used didn't include a "product identifier" as its patent defines. The patent troll also argued that CompuServe's system lacked a "shopping cart database." Those arguments didn't work for Soverain, as a three-judge panel decided that all of the shopping cart patent claims the company made were rendered obvious in the light of CompuServe Mall.
As a result, Soverain won't get the $2.5 million it hoped to snatch from Newegg's bank account. In addition, retailers in currently pending lawsuits will also likely be off the hook to feeding the troll.
Newegg chief legal officer Lee Cheng said in an interview with
Ars Technica
We basically took a look at this situation and said, this is bullshit. We saw that if we paid off this patent holder, we'd have to pay off every patent holder this same amount. This is the first case we took all the way to trial. And now, nobody has to pay Soverain jack squat for these patents.
Cheng also noted that Newegg decided to fight to the death over this lawsuit versus settling because the company is majority owned by its founder, Fred Chang. There are no shareholders to answer to, so Chang has the long-term prospects of his company in mind rather than short-term gains to temporarily help out the balance sheet.
In his parting words to
Ars Technica
, Cheng didn't have many good things to say about what he calls "submarine" trolls – those that lurk under the surface for years, and then hit unsuspecting companies for millions.
"Then they pop up and say 'Hello, surprise! Give us your money or we will shut you down!' Screw them. Seriously, screw them. You can quote me on that."
Ars Technica
"So far we have not seen a single Android device that does not infringe on our patents." -- Microsoft General Counsel Brad Smith

After a tumultuous first day filled with consistent storming and canceled sets from Kings of Leon and more, New York's Governors Ball got back on track Saturday (June 8) with near-perfect weather. That's not to say there weren't challenges, of course.
Randall's Island essentially turned into one giant mud pit, so navigating was a real issue for attendees. Imagine attending a music festival where you have to ice skate from stage to stage. That's how tough it was in places.
That said, the show went on, and fest organizers even found a way to squeeze in Kings of Leon's missed set from Friday. In an attempt to make good with festivalgoers, they honored one-day tickets purchased for Friday. Try as they might, KoL couldn't steal Guns N' Roses' thunder.
If you had just landed on earth and ended up at a Guns N' Roses concert circa 2013, you would most likely have a fantastic time. But for those of us who have any sort of preconceived notions about what GnR was in their prime and what they are now, it's a slight hurdle to move past. The front rows were populated with those who were either experiencing something akin to a religious experience, or those who were just deeply curious as to what a GnR live show these days is even like.
When he wants to, Axl Rose can really give it to the crowd — and last night, he did. Instead of his usual tardiness, he actually started five minutes early, at 9:25. An inside source tells Radio.com that per GnR's Governors Ball contract, they would be fined for every minute coming on late. (Remember, this festival is held in a public park — organizers have strict noise ordinances to abide by.)
Rose and his crew peppered far lesser-known material with GnR's greatest hits, all with the same amount of enthusiasm and stage bravado. "Welcome to the Jungle" was the second song they played, but it would be a while before "Sweet Child o' Mine" made its way into the set. Those, coupled with Axl's signature slither, enthralled the crowd in a way that few songs — by GnR or otherwise — do. Their covers were a highlight as well: Paul McCartney's "Live and Let Die" had more pyrotechnics than even McCartney has at his shows these days (and that's a bit, to be sure), while Dylan's "Knockin' on Heaven's Door" morphed into some sort of hard-rocking jam session. The best cover of all, though, was when the grand piano was rolled out, and Axl debuted the most epic of his numerous wardrobe changes: a maroon formal jacket showered in black rhinestones. The five guitarists on stage crept into Pink Floyd's "Another Brick in the Wall (Part 2)" before Axl chimed in with his best Roger Waters impersonation, deep-throated instead of his usual high-pitched wail. After that was done, he teased the crowd with the piano part to Elton John's "Goodbye Yellow Brick Road" before moving right into the highlight of the whole show: "November Rain." They played for a while longer afterwards, but little else compared.

Members of this year's freshman class at Bristol-Plymouth Regional Technical School will have a chance to participate in a biotechnology class.
"It's a new program," said B-P superintendent Richard Gross.
Members of this year's freshman class at Bristol-Plymouth Regional Technical School will have a chance to participate in a biotechnology class.
"It's a new program," said B-P superintendent Richard Gross.
The bio-tech course will be taught in two newly constructed classrooms contained within a building that houses the vocational school's dental program.
A third, adjacent classroom, also built this summer, will compliment the existing dental hygienist program.
Gross anticipates between 15 and 18 students eventually will select the bio-tech course.
Freshmen make their course selections after first spending five days being exposed, in 90-minute bites, to each of the school's 18 programs. They then narrow the field down to eight and spend the following eight weeks engaging in small projects for each program. By January they've made their selection.
"They really get to learn what it is," before choosing a program, said Carolyn Pearson, B-P's principal.
Gross said the exposure/evaluation process, which is required by the state, is essential. He estimates 45 percent of freshmen end up in programs different from what they originally thought they would be interested pursuing.
The decision to add bio-tech as a field of study was an easy one, Pearson said.
"We were reading the tea leaves," she said, referring to news stories about the potential of the bio-tech industry in the state.
UMass Dartmouth and half a dozen companies and businesses with a bio-tech component — including Johnson & Johnson and U.K.-based Bioline — sit on the advisory board of the school's bio-tech program.
Each of B-P's programs is governed by an advisory board.
UMass, in particular, played a major role in devising the program's curriculum, Pearson said.
Gross said the school received a $100,000 life sciences grant from the state and that equipment and supplies were donated by J&J, which has a DePuy facility in Raynham.
Three new teachers were hired to teach the bio-tech courses, he added.
Gross also said a team of plumbers, with the help of some students, recently finished installing five new, secondary grease traps to comply with stricter standards mandated in 2009 by the city's health board. Installing the six-feet-deep traps cost $85,000. He said the job, which began in the spring of 2012, was labor intensive.
Board of Health environmental compliance officer Kevin Duquette said requiring businesses and schools to install more efficient grease traps began in 2009 as part of a new "fats, oil and grease" plan — which was initiated to aid the city in its effort to comply with a federal and state consent order to eliminate all "combined sewer overflow" from spilling into the Taunton River.
"It was quite a big project for B-P. They did a heck of a job," Duquette said, adding that B-P worked closely with both the BOH and DPW.
Gross says his staff is considering a plan to harvest the food-related grease and oil for what would be the school's own biodiesel program. Biodiesel is used in vehicles that run on regular diesel fuel.
Workers this summer also built new "prep stations" inside the collision technology garage, where students are instructed in motor-vehicle body work.
Four classrooms in the school's computer and network technology (CNT) division received new equipment and had their space "redefined," or realigned. The computer information technology (CIT) program, meanwhile, was broadened to include a marketing and finance component. The CIT staff now numbers three with the hiring of Jennifer Karamanian, who Gross says has an extensive background working in corporate settings.
Inside the school's gym area, the girls' locker room has been refurbished and classrooms were created to round out the health, wellness and physical eduction program, which includes a raised area stocked with exercise equipment.
"It's very cohesive," Pearson said of those changes.
B-P, like other technical schools, hires teachers and students during the summer to build new classrooms and make other structural improvements and repairs. Gross said students at the Taunton school were paid an average of $9 to $10 an hour.
Pearson and Gross said they plan well in advance for each summer's upgrades.
"By next week we'll begin planning for next year; this is not a spur of the moment decision," Pearson said.
"We take little bites (of work) each year to stay within our operating budget, and so we don't hit the taxpayers with a huge bill," Gross said.
He said 1,302 students have enrolled at B-P this year compared to 1,275 in 2012. But Gross warned there's always an element of attrition with some students transferring out once they realize they aren't suited to the school's regimen.
"Some of them don't like being told what to do," he said, adding that "the stakes are a little higher when you're dealing with dangerous equipment and trying to replicate the world of work."

Another reason that attendance has been increasing is the decision by the association to recruit speakers from among its members who oversee large ad budgets for blue-chip companies." http://nyti.ms/RcoTC1
