Juhl Wind, Inc. Announces Financing Arranged for Two Large Wind Farms Totaling $86 Million in Project Value
Oct 13, 2010, 10:03 ET
WOODSTOCK, Minn., Oct. 13 /PRNewswire/ -- Juhl Wind, Inc. (OTC Bulletin Board : JUHL ), the Leader in Community Wind Power, today announced the recent execution of various agreements providing for the construction financing and planned permanent financing for the Adams and Danielson wind farm projects located in Meeker County in West Central Minnesota. The projects total approximately $86 million in total value. In addition to acting as the developer of the projects, Juhl will also provide construction oversight. Construction is planned to begin shortly and to be completed in a matter of months.
The Company first announced the development of these projects less than one year ago when it successfully secured the 20-year power purchase agreements ("PPAs") with Xcel Energy, the electric utility based in Minneapolis, MN.
"Taken together, these two projects amount to the largest construction Juhl will oversee to date and represent the continued growth of the Company," stated Dan Juhl, Chairman and CEO of Juhl Wind, Inc. "We are very pleased to show the marketplace that we continue to have the wherewithal to develop projects, secure PPAs, arrange construction financing and get projects built. Along with the recent launch of our Winona County project, we now have three projects well underway in 2010. While a significant amount of project costs do not flow through Juhl as revenue, these projects still provide us with a mix of development fee and construction revenue leading to a very strong fourth quarter for the Company. We look forward to announcing the official startup of construction at these sites."
The Adams and Danielson Wind farms are typical of Juhl Wind's community-owned wind farm projects. The projects consist of a locally-controlled LLC made up of Meeker County residents and institutional financial partners.

There are some parts of the contemporary rural South that exist mainly in the mind of the urban playwright and filmmaker.
Arkansas is the corporate home of Wal-Mart and the cradle of an American president who did not lack for awareness of urban pleasures. Still, the modern-day residents of Poinsett County, Ark., who populate Jeffrey Mangrum's new play "Wendall Greene," premiering at the Steppenwolf Studio Theatre, seem to know nothing of category-killer retail, popular culture, or the world at large.

Green Ribbon Campaign
Wear a
GREEN Ribbon
to help
ReTHINK Mental Illness!
accEptance &
While society's attitude towards mental illness is improving, many people with mental illnesses are still stigmatized due to a lack of knowledge and understanding.
You can help reduce that stigma by wearing a green ribbon to signify that you challenge oppressive beliefs surrounding mental health illnesses. Show your support and help raise awareness by:
- Wearing the Green Ribbon on your jacket or backpack
- Reading up on mental health issues on the Health & Counselling Centre website
- Becoming familiar with the mental health resources for students available on- and off-campus
- Sharing the information you've learned with friends and family
- Being aware of the language you use. Words like "crazy", "nuts", and "insane" only help to perpetuate the stigma surrounding mental illnesses.

Is the ABCC due for a comeback?
The Federal Election is finally over. The speeches have been made, the votes cast and it looks like the Turnbull government is set to retain power for another election period. Now that the excitement is out of the way, homeowners with real estate in Australia are likely thinking what's next for their property.
While the question of capital gains and negative gearing changes have now been put to bed, that is hardly the end of the discussion around property under the new government. A great deal of this election was based either directly or indirectly around the real estate sector – and a major point of discussion was that of the reformation of the Australian Building and Construction Commission (ABCC).
"Critical economic reform"
"The election was called on the basis of these two bills."
These are the words that prime minister Malcolm Turnbull used to describe the introduction of the ABCC bill. The ABCC, before its abolition in 2012, acted as a watchdog for the construction industry before it was replaced by the independent agency Fair Work Building and Construction.
Citing the Royal Commission into Trade Union Governance and Corruption, the Coalition made the promise of reforming the ABCC in order to combat the quoted two out of every three working days lost due to industrial disputes in the construction industry.
The decision has been met with approval from major real estate industry bodies, including the Property Council of Australia, which has also voiced its support for the Registered Organisations bill, which will impose higher regulation standards on unions.
"The election was called on the basis of these two bills, and we can't afford to turn our backs on these important reforms," explained Ken Morrison, Property Council chief executive.
Not a sure thing
The passing of the bill is not necessarily guaranteed.
However, the passing of the bill is not necessarily guaranteed, despite the election win from the Coalition. With a more broad base of political parties in the Senate, the bill may face more opposition than was expected. Labor, which won a fair number of seats itself, was staunchly opposed to the reintroduction of the ABCC, and this could well create a hurdle for its passing.
There are a number of other significant changes on the horizon in light of the election result, including the ambitious City Deals plan that is intended to completely revamp how the various levels of government work together in order to improve housing for the local residents.
There's plenty in store for the Australian homeowner or investor, so keep an eye on the headlines to make sure you stay ahead of the game!

Larry Klayman Decries Evils of Litigation!
And don't miss our next story, "Casanova: 'I'm a One-Woman Man.' "
Larry Klayman has discovered the evils of America's litigation explosion. Klayman is the chairman of Judicial Watch, the conservative ethics-in-government foundation that spent most of the 1990s suing members of the Clinton administration omnidirectionally. (West Wing fans will recognize Klayman as the prototype for Harry Claypool.) Judicial Watch's "Summary of Current Cases" includes a Who's Who of Clinton sex accusers: Gennifer Flowers, Paula Jones, Linda Tripp, Juanita Broaddrick, Kathleen Willey, and Dolly Kyle Browning. More recently, Klayman has diversified his portfolio a bit, taking on House Majority Whip Tom DeLay over certain fund-raising practices by the National Republican Congressional Committee and Vice President Dick Cheney over the secrecy of the Bush administration's energy task force. (Chatterbox predicted that Klayman would start suing Bush, incidentally.) But Judicial Watch remains primarily interested in continuing its jihad against Bill Clinton. The first half of its 2002 "State of the Union" report, ostensibly a critique of the Bush administration, knocks the Bushies for insufficiently investigating alleged vandalism by departing Clinton White House staffers, the Clinton pardons, Hillary Clinton's alleged theft of White House furniture, and Chinagate. As Chatterbox reported earlier, Klayman recently urged Attorney General John Ashcroft to investigate departing Whitewater counsel Robert Ray, whom Klayman thinks did a rush job on his final Flytrap report. In a March 15 letter, Klayman complained bitterly that Ray never got around to reading 1.8 million White House e-mails.
Can this be the same Larry Klayman from whom Chatterbox yesterday received a direct-mail solicitation decrying the American legal system for "picking the pockets of hard-working Americans, putting literally billions of dollars into the pockets of greedy lawyers, turning neighbor against neighbor and threatening to derail the rule of law"? The same Larry Klayman who writes, "The U.S. has been transformed from a nation of friends and neighbors into one of actual and potential litigants—plaintiffs and defendants," and who further complains that lawyers have goaded Americans into expecting "courts to resolve everything"? The same Larry Klayman who calculates that the U.S. legal system's cost "is growing at four times the rate of our economy"? The same Larry Klayman who thunders, "Frivolous lawsuits should be prohibited"?
One may liken the overall effect of Klayman's direct-mail sermon against frivolous lawsuits to that of a Weight Watchers commercial starring Marlon Brando or a temperance lecture given by Hunter S. Thompson. Klayman, however, seems oblivious to the irony. His direct-mail solicitation explains cheerfully that Judicial Watch is filing suit "in over 100 of the worse [sic] cases of legal corruption in the country today." Klayman's aim is to recover "more than $10 BILLION in legal fees that have been paid to corrupt lawyers and law firms." (Tort reform, he explains, "is only part of the answer.") But these lawsuits to eliminate the costly scourge of litigation are expensive. "Each lawsuit we bring costs an average $1.5 million dollars," Klayman writes. "Each month we must pay the salaries of 12 outstanding attorneys." Won't you help, with a contribution of $100, $50, or $25?
In a recent (otherwise adulatory) profile by John Berlau in Insight magazine, the conservative newsweekly put out by the Washington Times, Klayman was asked the obvious question of whether he might be contributing to the litigiousness of American society. (Chatterbox tried to phone Klayman today to pose the same question but was told he was unavailable.) Here's his answer:
I agree that society is too litigious. Americans do not sufficiently sit down and try to resolve disputes. In fact, they don't even consider discussing them until you bring a lawsuit. That's our culture—and, when in Rome, do as the Romans do. Unfortunately, sometimes the only way you can, No. 1, get people's attention, and No. 2, get results, is to bring a lawsuit.


text: Hi everyone, I did a search on the forum looking for some information about this, and couldn't find anything. Granted, I wasn't exactly sure what search terms would give me good results. Anyway, I just ordered my R4DS today, with a 2GB SanDisk MicroSD card. I know from poking around here that the R4 and M3 Simply are basically identical. What confused me is this: This page clearly states that some cards, including the non-Taiwan SanDisk 2GB cards, work fine with all games (including CVoR) on the M3 Simply if you format in FAT16 with a 32K cluster size. This page however, says no such thing regarding the R4. My question is basically this: Is the R4 page on that site simply not up to date? Or is this an actual difference between the R4 and M3 Simply? I'm really not worried about it, I'm more than willing to go out and purchase CVoR. I just want to know if I should be concerned about cluster size when formatting my MicroSD card when it arrives. Anyone have a good answer for this? Thanks in advance.

19th Army (Star League)
Sarna News
|19th Army
|Unit Profile (as of 2784)
|Parent Formation
|Star League Defense Force
The Star League Defense Forces 19th Army was assigned to operations within the Taurian Concordat Region of the Periphery Military Region.[1]
The 19th Army had been operating on a footing close to an actual war footing for some years prior to the Periphery Uprising due to the Concordat's tendency to be a hotbed for trouble within the Periphery. Consistently facing an ongoing low-level insurrection and an antagonistic civil population[2], the 19th were better prepared than many for the explosion of violence that heralded the beginning of the Uprising; the 19th chose to withdraw from some conflict zones while contesting others, and the presence of General Aleksandr Kerensky in the 19th's midst kept morale high, even though the 19th had taken substantial losses by mid 2767. Of the twenty-one Divisions and thirty Independent Regiments that formed the 19th on paper, by the time of the 2767 ceasefire ten Divisions and eleven Regiments had been destroyed or disbanded, leaving the 19th operating at just fifty-four percent of its original combat strength.[3]
In 2765 the commanding officer of the 19th Army was General Cristian Greene.[3][2]
- 6 BattleMech Divisions[3]
- 15 Infantry Divisions[3]
- 30 Independent Regiments[3]
By mid-2767 the 19th Army was operating at 54% of full combat strength.[3]

Posted on Jan 02, 2017
SOURCE: 2004 Dodge Stratus 2.7 thermostat location
Finding the thermostat: Follow the LOWER radiator hose to where it meets the engine. It's in there. Most cars that I've worked on have the thermostat at the end of the upper radiator hose, but not this car. Replacing the thermostat: You need to remove the thermostat housing. (It's the piece that the lower radiator hose connects to.) - You do not need to remove the radiator hose from the housing. - First remove the bolt that is holding a bracket. This bracket just holds some wires in place. - Now remove the three bolts that hold the housing to the engine block. These bolts can be fairly hard to turn, but just keep trying. - Gently pry the housing away from the engine block. You can use a flat-head screwdriver to help pry, but do not scratch the mating surfaces of the housing and the block. - Pull out the thermostat, noting that the spring end goes into the engine. - When you put the new thermostat in, you probably want to use a new black rubber gasket, but you might be able to use the old one if you have no choice. Also, I didn't add any permatex or anything and it seems fine. - I tightened the bolts to 22foot pounds, but this might be a little high. Whatever you do, DO NOT overtighten the bolts. Couple other notes: I first removed the air cleaner cover and tubes to get a little more working room. I also unplugged one wiring harness to make more room. Otherwise, I was able to get my big hands in there. A new thermostat did not fix my problem. Here is a description of the problem I was having and the solution: Problem: The temperature gauge was spiking occasionally, all the way into the red. It would spike up and come back to normal. It would spike usually while in idle, but sometimes while driving. Usually about once every twenty minutes. Things I checked first: - The plastic reservior for the radiator was full to the top. - The electric fans were running, and running on high speed. - The car had working heat. - Replaced the thermostat. Did nothing to help the problem. Problem Found: - Vapor lock. Even though the reservior was full of fluid, it had previously gotten too low and the system sucked in some air. Once that happens, it doesn't matter if the reservior is full, the cooling system will not draw in the coolant. This is because filling the plastic reservior does not pour coolant directly into the cooling system. The coolant is sucked into the cooling system through a tube, like drinking soda through a straw. So the reservior, where they tell you to add coolant, was full but the cooling system (radiator, engine, pump, etc.) was almost out of coolant and wasn't able to draw in any more. Solution: When the engine is cool, open the metal radiator cap that's sticking right up out of the engine. It can be found by following the upper radiator hose to the engine. There is a tall metal tube with a metal cap on it. Pull that cap off (when it not hot) and fill it up with radiator fluid. (I use radiator fluid that's pre-diluted and designed for all makes and models of cars). Idle the car, in park, for about thirty seconds. Stop the engine and put the cap back on. If you're lucky, all the air bubbles are out of the system and you're all set.

The thermostat on this car is located on the passenger side lower Engine block. Follow the lower radiator hose and it will lead you right to it. The Wheel and splash guarding need to be removed as well as the Alternator to gain access to the housing bolts. It about a 3 hour job to replace thermostat.

There are many reasons to recycle used motor oil. Re-refining used oil requires about 1/3 less energy than processing it from crude oil and results in a product that is at least as good as, if not better than, virgin oil, according to the Department of Resources Recycling and Recovery (CalRecycle). And, because it takes just two gallons of used oil compared to 84 gallons of crude oil to produce a single gallon of clean motor oil, recycling is an easy, economical way to conserve dwindling petroleum resources. Used motor oil can also be recycled an infinite number of times.
So, how often should motor oil be changed? CalRecycle states that the notion that it should be changed every 3,000 miles is a "myth" and suggests that drivers follow their car manufacturer's recommendations. About 75% of California drivers currently change their oil more often than the manufacturer suggests. Each year, approximately 154 million gallons of used oil are generated in California and only 59% of that is recycled. Changing the oil less often saves money and results in less waste oil that can harm the environment.
Improperly disposing of oil by pouring it onto the ground, down drains or into the trash will pollute surface and ground water as well as the soil. Just one gallon of used oil can contaminate 1 million gallons of drinking water. State law, which classifies motor oil as a hazardous waste, requires that oil and oil filters be disposed of at a certified oil recycling collection center. Mariposa County has several such centers for the convenience of local do-it-yourself oil changers. The following locations accept used, uncontaminated motor oil and filters for recycling:
Motor oil mixed with fluids such as antifreeze, gas or solvents is considered contaminated and cannot be left for recycling. Safely store contaminated oil in a watertight container for disposal at the next Household Hazardous Waste Event.
This program is funded by a grant from CalRecycle. For more information about oil recycling go to www.calrecycle.ca.gov/UsedOil.

Convicted former state Senate Democratic Leader Robert J. Mellow has his $246,123 annual pension back for good.
Pending state House and Senate bills would close the legal loophole that allowed Mellow to get it back, but passing the bills won't strip his state pension again, state officials said Wednesday.
State Rep. Scott Petri, R-178, Bucks, the House bill's chief sponsor, was not surprised by a state pension board's decision to restore Mellow's pension.
"I'm just so sick of it," Petri said Wednesday in a telephone interview from Harrisburg. "It's not even the first time. The list goes on and on, and these are only the high-profile cases."
The State Employees' Retirement System board voted 6-5 to restore Mellow's pension. The system stripped away the pension shortly after his 2012 guilty plea to a federal felony conspiracy charge.
Attempts to reach Mellow, 74, of Archbald, were unsuccessful. Under their divorce decree, Mellow will get $138,958 a year of the pension and his ex-wife, Diane, will get $107,165 a year, according to the pension board order.
The House passed Petri's bill amending the state public pension forfeiture law by a 190-1 vote on May 8, with all the legislators representing Lackawanna, Luzerne, Wayne, Susquehanna, Wyoming, Pike and Monroe counties voting in favor. The House sent the bill to the Senate where it remains pending in the finance committee. Sen. John Blake, the committee's Democratic chairman, succeeded Mellow, who supported his successful 2010 Senate bid.
Blake, also a Senate Judiciary Committee member, voted for a similar Senate bill in that committee, which passed it April 26 by a 12-0 vote.
Jennifer Kocher, a spokeswoman for Republicans, who hold an overwhelming majority in the Senate, said the full Senate likely will vote on the bill next year.
The House also passed Petri's bill 188-2 in May 2016, but it died in the Senate Judiciary Committee when the 2015-2016 legislative session ended.
Blake pointed out everything that led up to the case happened before he took office in December 2010, and said legislators cannot change the law retroactively. The pension amount reflects Mellow's 40 years of service and long time in leadership, he said.
Blake said he knows the ruling will upset citizens.
"It's hard for me to distance myself" from Mellow, a lifelong friend, he said, also pointing to his vote for reform. "It is what it is. I know people will react viscerally, but they should consider the context, consider his career and his contributions to the system."
Mellow pleaded guilty in May 2012, to felony conspiracy for using his Senate staff members for his political campaign work on state time and for filing a false tax return that saved him about $16,000 in federal taxes. A federal judge sentenced him to 16 months in prison, to pay a $40,000 fine and a $100 special assessment, and to repay the $79,806.17 that his use of Senate staffers for political work cost state taxpayers.
Mellow also had to pay the IRS $31,748 in unpaid taxes, penalties and interest for underreporting his income on the 2008 sale of the building that housed his Blakely Senate office. He served 14 months with two months off for good behavior and was released March 2014.
Last year, he released a self-published book, "Used, Abused & Forgotten, Bob Mellow: A Targeted Senator." In it, he called the federal charges he pleaded guilty to "bogus" and "frivolous" and portrays himself as a "pure victim" of prosecutors and media out to get him.
Petri, R-178, Bucks, and Blake, D-22, Archbald, said the bills, if passed into law, could not retroactively strip a pension because that would violate Mellow's constitutional rights, but would mean anyone convicted of a felony — like Mellow — in any court would have to forfeit his or her state pension.
Scranton attorney Sal Cognetti, Mellow's lawyer, argued the federal conspiracy charge was not on the list of crimes that the state public pension forfeiture law says requires giving up a pension.
The pension board's majority opinion likened Mellow's conviction to the state crime of theft by deception, but that crime required Mellow to "actually obtain money and property of the Senate." The federal conspiracy count did not charge the former senator with getting money or property, the board said.
A dissenting minority opinion said the ruling undermines the law's deterrent effect.
The ruling, issued Nov. 6, came a few weeks shy of the fifth anniversary of Mellow's sentencing.
"The decision is awful and it's going to set off a negative impact," said Eric Epstein, coordinator of Rock the Capital, a Harrisburg-based watchdog group. "Bob Mellow was not just another corrupt politician. Bob Mellow was the Babe Ruth of corrupt politicians. ... We had to pay him when he was in office, we had to pay (to lodge him) when he was in prison and we have to pay him now that he's retired."

I have tried changing my recipe for French Toast a million times, but this one is by far my favorite…so far.
If you want to enjoy French Toast the way it was meant to taste, follow my delicious directions below.
Cinnamon Vanilla Baked French Toast
Yeah, I know you want to use your fingers,
but use the wrapping of some softened butter
or a paper towel.
Isn't it beautiful?
Do not boil into candy!
Just let them melt together until…
Yes, eggs are beautiful.
No, you can't argue with me.
Nahhhhh, don't think about it.
Mmmmmmm….Doesn't it smell good?
Lightly coat if you want a "soft" flavor of cinnamon
and add a little more if you want a "strong" flavor of cinnamon.
I like it soft.
I promise.
You just gotta believe me.
you have to put it in the refrigerator for at least 8 hours.
In the morning I popped it in the oven and
took a shower while it baked.
The whole house smelled….
ahhhhh, wonderful.
Here, take a bite.
Cinnamon Vanilla Baked French Toast
1 lb Challah bread
1/4 lb (1 stick) butter
1 cup light brown sugar, packed
2 tablespoons maple syrup
5 eggs
1 1/2 cups half & half
3 teaspoons vanilla
1/4 teaspoon salt
Cinnamon to taste
Butter all the sides of a 9 x 13 inch pan. Melt the butter, brown sugar and maple syrup in a small pan and simmer until smooth. Pour the melted liquid into the pan. Cut Challah bread (a braided loaf) into 1 1/2 inch slices. Use a bread knife to obtain a good cut. Push the bread into the pan to fill all spaces except for a few holes. It doesn't HAVE to be totally scrunched together.
In a separate bowl, mix the eggs, half & half, vanilla, and salt. Sprinkle the bread with cinnamon. Pour the liquid mixture over the bread. Cover with aluminum foil and refrigerate overnight or approximately 8 hours.
Bake at 350 degrees for approximately 40 minutes. Let it rest for 10 minutes – this is a necessary step. Serve hot. Serves about 5-6.

Alexandra May Releases New Single 'Like You Do'
- Written by Press Release
- Published in News
South African songstress, Alexandra May is not your quintessential pop star. Yes, she has all the right tools. When it comes to talent, looks, the ability to entertain, she ticks all the boxes, but these qualities are only a subset of the true force brewing inside her.
Brought to public attention through The David Gresham Record Company with hit single 'AMAZING' in 2016, Alexandra has come a long way since her humble beginnings. She launched her career in South Africa to critical acclaim and built a sustainable brand.
Seeking her independence, the artist has since severed ties with her record label, ushering in a new era. Her newly found band, The MAYze, whose expertise will be called upon when needed and when venues allow, is made up predominantly of friends and family, who love and support her music, giving her the platform to step out from behind her guitar and keyboard and truly shine. The main goal, however, is to get the party started wherever she goes and share her fun-loving nature with the rest of the world.
Together, the band will showcase a new, more edgy side to the pop star, elevating her to centre stage, and it is here that her true potential will be realised.
As part of her latest adventure, Alexandra releases a new single titled 'LIKE YOU DO' today.
She says, "The song is part of my new journey, the new spaces I am exploring."
'LIKE YOU DO' is a song for you.
YOU is the band I play for.
YOU is the person at my show.
YOU is the person I write the song for
YOU is the person I want to have with me on this journey.
The song is available through iTunes
Watch the official 'Like You Do' below!
Catch her live in Cape Town on the following dates:
Growing up in a musical family, Alexandra May was destined for a career in the arts. Witnessing her talents at an early age, her parents nurtured her unique ability, while allowing her to explore and flourish into her own. Inevitably, she discovered her passion for the arts, began singing at age 7, and dancing and acting soon followed.
Performing in a number of high profile theatre productions, Alexandra has been in the public eye since she can remember, with high profile appearances on the kids' television show SABC's Fun Factory. She performed at the People's Theatre in Johannesburg in various productions such as Beauty & The Beast, Disney's Little Mermaid and Sleeping Beauty, amongst others. While these served as a great training ground for the singer, they were only the tip of the iceberg.
Alexandra May, though a millennial, is largely inspired by retro sounds from the 80s.
With a plethora of influences, Alex listens to a variety of different genres and infuses various elements into her own music. She describes her sound as "mixo-collective-pop". Using her personal experiences and life-lessons to craft lyrics for her songs, the singer is not deterred by her failures and believes every hurdle is a step in the right direction. Her main aim is to inspire people through her music as well as enthuse people to have a great time.

Even if you've reached out to your lawmakers in the past, we need you to do it again. We have received word that the Cole-Bishop amendment is being seriously considered for inclusion in the FY2017 US budget.
But, this is not a guarantee. There are strong forces working against anything that might be perceived as a "Republican rider" in the budget bill. Even though Cole-Bishop is a bipartisan effort in support of what should be a bipartisan issue, the effort to modernize the predicate date for vapor products has been stripped out of the budget before.
We need your help to keep Cole-Bishop in the budget bill!
Please take a moment to call your representative and senators:
Points to discuss on your call:
Urge them to support the Cole-Bishop language in the 2017 US budget bill
If the predicate date for vapor products is not modernized, nearly all vapor products will be wiped off the market in 2018. Many businesses will start closing down this year.
The FDA will still have the authority to regulate vapor products and common sense regulations like no sales or marketing to minors will remain unchanged.
If you have time, briefly, tell your story about how vaping has helped you.
When you're finished with your call, visit www.august8th.org and send an email.
Please share this URL with everyone. EVERYONE!

December 07, 2017 02:19 PM
(ABC 6 News) - Standing before other federal lawmakers this morning, Sen. Al Franken announced his resignation.
He said, "It's become clear that I can't both pursue the ethics committee process and at the same time remain an effective senator," and that "serving in the U.S. Senate has been the great honor of my life. I know in my heart that nothing I have done as a Senator has done harm to this institution. Nevertheless, in the coming weeks, I will be resigning as a member of the United State Senate... this decision is not about me, it's about the people of Minnesota."
During his 11 minute statement, Franken said some of the charges against him are untrue and that he remembers some situations "very differently" than his accusers do, but that women "deserve to be heard and their experiences taken seriously."
He went on to say, "I know who I really am. Serving in the United States Senate has been the great honor of my life. I know in my heart that nothing I have done as a Senator, nothing, has brought this [dis]honor on this institution, and I am confident that the ethics committee would agree."
"I of all people am aware that there is some irony in the fact that I am leaving while a man who has bragged on tape of his history of sexual assault is sitting in the oval office and a man who has preyed on young girls is campaigning for the Senate with the full support from his party."
He concluded by saying, "Let me be clear. I may be giving up my seat, but I am not giving up my voice... I will be fighting alongside you every step of the way. With that, Mr. President, I yield the floor."
Minnesota Governor Mark Dayton said he hasn't decided on a replacement for Franken yet and that he expects to make and announce his decision in the next couple of days.
Whoever he names will serve until a special election in November to complete the remainder of Franken's term through 2020.

Orofino releases 2010 whites, 2009 reds
Photo: John and Virginia Weber, courtesy Orofino Vineyards
John and Virginia Weber, the owners of Orofino Vineyards, celebrate the 10th anniversary this year of their arrival in the Similkameen Valley to operate a six-acre vineyard.
Both from Swift Current in Saskatchewan, John had been a teacher and Virginia was (and still is) a nurse. There was not even a great deal of farming in their backgrounds, let alone growing grapes. Yet they have succeeded brilliantly as wine growers, making small volumes of excellent wine that sells out quickly after its release.
They are original thinkers. The winery they opened in 2005 is housed in a building made of straw bales. Unique among Canadian wineries, it was built at moderate cost. The natural insulating quality of the bales minimizes the winery's energy consumption and its environmental footprint.
It is hard to say whether that motivates consumers with a green sensibility to buy Orofino wines. The Webers do not make a big deal about their values, largely preferring to let the wines speak for themselves.
The wines are good, as I found during a tasting with John of the recent releases from Orofino. These included two whites from the 2010 vintage. That year, John says, was "fantastic for whites – and for reds if the work was done properly in the vineyard." The white varieties matured at slightly lower sugar levels than in the previous year; alcohol levels are a little more moderate but the flavours of the wines are not compromised.
Here are my notes.
Pinot Gris 2010 ($19.90 with a production of 165 cases). Orofino drew grapes for this wine from two Similkameen growers not far from the winery. The juice remained on the skins for several hours after crushing, picking up more flavour and the slightest of bronze hues before being fermented in stainless steel. The result is a cleanly focussed wine with flavours of citrus, pear and apple and with a crisply dry finish. John believes it is the best Pinot Gris he has made. 90.
Riesling 2010 ($19.90 with a production of 710 cases). John did not say so, but I think this the best Orofino Riesling yet. He drew on three Similkameen vineyards for the fruit, including the 21-year-old vines at Orofino, which give the wine a fine mineral backbone. While the aroma is still restrained (time in the bottle will develop that fully), the wine is packed with flavours of grapefruit and lime. The wine fermented to natural dryness, ending up with a tangy, refreshing finish and 12.3% alcohol. 90
Pinot Noir 2009 ($31.90 with a production of 70 cases). This wine is made entirely with estate-grown grapes. John has four clones of Pinot Noir in four different blocks, one of which is 22 years old. The volume amounts to about three barrels, one of which was new French oak. The wine, which is unfiltered and unfined, spent 16 months in barrel before being bottled. It begins with appealing aromas of spice and strawberries. On the palate there is more raspberry and strawberry, with toast and spice from the underlying barrel notes. It has an attractive silky texture. 90.
Red Bridge Merlot 2009 ($25 with a production of 650 cases). Five vintages ago, John began buying Merlot grapes from Chris Scott's five-acre Oak Knoll Vineyard at Kaleden. He likes the grapes so much that this remains the permanent exception to his sourcing only Similkameen fruit. Ironically, the wine is named after the red bridge across the Similkameen River at Keremeos. This is an appealing wine, with aromas and flavours of blackberry, blueberry and plum. The dense, chewy texture of the wines reflects that Scott cropped the vines about 2 ½ tons an acre – when Merlot is often cropped nearly double that. This big, ripe wine has 14.7% alcohol but has so much substance that the alcohol is not hot. 91.
Beleza 2008 ($33.90). This wine was already released last year, winning several awards. It is a blend of 60% Merlot, 20% Cabernet Sauvignon and 10% each of Cabernet Franc and Petit Verdot. Unfiltered and unfined again, it spent 16 months in a combination of French and American oak. It begins with aromas of currants and chocolate, continuing to flavours of plum, black cherry, vanilla and spice. It has substantial weight on the palate and ripe tannins that will allow it to age well for another five years. 92.
Orofino has two other 2009 reds not yet released, a Syrah and a Cabernet Sauvignon from a nearby vineyard called Passion Pit. You can imagine what the local teenagers did there before vines were planted.

Forgotten Book - The Davidson Case
Today's Forgotten Book dates from 1929, and is an early case featuring Dr Priestley, John Rhode's cerebral and rather curmudgeonly Great Detective. The Davidson Case is an enjoyable mystery. I figured out the culprit's secret at a fairly early stage, but that didn't spoil the book for me, which strikes me as one of the best Rhodes I've read to date. (He also wrote as Cecil Waye and as Miles Burton, and two Burtons have been chosen for inclusion in the British Library's series of Crime Classics.)
The book has a background in business, something that was - perhaps surprisingly - quite common in Golden Age stories, especially those written by people like Rhode and Freeman Wills Crofts, who had extensive business experience. Guy Davidson's unpleasant cousin, Sir Hector, has taken charge of the family firm, and his behaviour - which includes getting rid of a senior employee called Lowry - is causing Guy concern. Sir Hector seems unstoppable, but when he is found dead after a train journey, Guy is able to take control of the company, and order seems to have been restored.
Until, that is, the police start to suspect Guy of having murdered Sir Hector. Priestley assists the police, but finds some aspects of the case troubling, and refuses to testify in court. Rhode offers a pleasing sequence of plot twists, and "justice" is mentioned in the very last sentence, a reminder of the extent to which notions of justify preoccupied Golden Age writers. I found the story held my attention from start to finish.
One line I enjoyed particularly came when Priestley and his secretary Harold pursue their investigations into Guy's activities. "Really, my boy," the great sleuth says, "the public house is the finest possible place in which to obtain information" There speaks Rhode, a pub-lover who enjoyed a pint or three (one can't quite imagine Poirot saying something similar to Hastings, can one?) A good book, well worth a read.

That's interesting, Martin. I wonder if Hercule Poirot has ever been inside a pub. Of course, I have not read all of his novels. I had never heard of John Rhode until now and this book sounds like it's part of a nice series.

I suspect pubs were more Captain Hastings' thing, Prashant!

I would take the pub comment as a hat-tip to Conan-Doyle.

MACOMB COUNTY (WWJ) – The Macomb County Sheriff's office is cautioning residents to be on the lookout for people who may be posing as DTE employees and going door-to-door.
The people knocking on doors say they're offering energy audits and haven't offered identification.
DTE spokesman John Austerberry says their employees have photo ID's.
Austerberry says that if a customer is unsure about an employees identification claiming to represent DTE – they should call DTE customer service at 1-800-477-4747 to verify.
"I would recommend not letting that individual in until you are certain," said Austerberry.
The Sheriff's office says anyone that sees anything suspicious should report it to their office.
"Our employees will never come to a customer's home and offer cash refunds or ask to collect payment. Our field employees just don't do that. That's happened in the past."
Incidents happened in the Carriage Hills and Lockwood areas and they did not offer identification.

The University Strategic Planning Phase II Core Team is working on developing an implementation plan that will include a set of strategic initiatives to help us realize the five high-level priorities our community adopted in May 2017 at the conclusion of Phase I of the strategic planning process:
- A distinctive identity that builds campus pride
- Excellence in education & scholarship across the institution
- A student-centered culture focused on retention and success
- Recruitment through high quality programs and campus life
- A vital partner to an engaged community
For the past few months, our team has held a series of meeting with the campus community, receiving over 500 distinct answers to our four-question framework: What are the things that we already do? What are things we do, but could do more of? What are things that we don't do, but could do? What things should we stop doing?
Using this input, along with data from the first phase of the strategic planning process, we have conducted a careful thematic analysis in order to identify strategic initiatives to achieve our high-level priorities.
We are now asking you to complete a brief (5-10 minute) survey soliciting your feedback on the 12 potential strategic initiatives that emerged from our analysis. Click here to take survey
Our goal here is to assess the extent to which these potential initiatives might realize multiple high-level priorities. We ask you to evaluate each initiative on two dimensions:
- How important is this initiative in achieving our high-level priorities? In other words, would a focus on this initiative make substantial contributions to our ability to achieve multiple high-level priorities?
- How realistic is this initiative in achieving our high-level priorities? Would a focus on this initiative likely to realize concrete, measurable results over short, medium, or long term timeframe?
Your answers to these questions will help us as we seek to narrow down to a smaller set of strategic initiatives and develop concrete, action-oriented strategies to implement them. Please respond by the end of day, Wednesday, March 28.
As always, thank you for taking the time to provide your ideas on operationalizing the university's high-level strategic priorities. We look forward to sharing a draft of the full implementation plan with you in the coming weeks.

Hi all-you know I don't go around saying "buy, buy, buy", but one of my Facebook friends alerted me to a deal that everyone-Kiwis especially-should know about RIGHT NOW. Amazon has the Presto 23 quart Aluminum Pressure Canner on sale nearly HALF PRICE for US$59. My Facebook buddy Natalie says that will get you a Pressure Canner TO NEW ZEALAND INCLUDING SHIPPING for only NZD $142. Cu-RAZY!
Now, be aware that this is NOT the super duper, no gasket, hand it down to your grandkids American Pressure Canner that I saved up my pennies to buy. But it is also half the price. If you want top of the line, go with the American Pressure Canner, you won't regret it, but this Presto deal is a hard one to pass up.
You may be asking yourself why you would WANT a Pressure Canner and how is it different from a Pressure COOKER. Well, a Pressure Canner is essentially a GIANT Pressure Cooker, so if you get one, you'd be able to cook up enough beans to feel the North Island at one go, but you ALSO be able to do other things. Like safely bottle (can) broths and soups with meat in them. Or safely bottle low acid veggies and fruit. Think cabbage. Even tomatoes are much safer bottled with a pressure canner.
Our sustainable living compatriots in the US are much more familiar with this sort of gear than we are Down Under, which I think is a crying shame. This is a great chance for some of us to get with the Pressure Canner programme!
If you order one, I'd love for you to order one through one of the links above. I get a couple of dollars that I inevitably put towards more books if you do. Thanks for your support!
As we get to harvest time, I'll be sharing some of my pressure canning recipes and-no doubt-adventures.
Extra special thanks to Natalie Osborn for the heads up on this. Cheers, mate!
Just wanted to say 'will you marry me'? I have been wanting a pressure canner for sooo long and had no idea I could use Amazon.com. I thought that was only for Americans.
Just.. thanks! 😀 I gone and bought one now. 😀
Old school pressure cooking – nothing beats this form of cooking. I have to put my hands on this canner. Thanks for sharing the info.
Tim of http://www.3144.co.il/s/אלומיניום
I LOOOOOVE my pressure canner. A gift two years ago from my BF. So handy to have with my giant garden for sure but handy to have for other canning as well – especially when a super meat sale comes along and the freezer is full (as mine is right now after the hog slaughter.) My Mom and Dad used to give us a gift every year of canned chicken and beef. Very nice for a speedy supper.
I am looking forward to your canning recipes. I have made bulk soups and canned them and lots of low acid veggies. Most recently was my turkey broth from Thanksgiving. I had three turkey carcasses and canned several gallons of broth in both quart and pint increments. Lovely soup starter with a rich color from adding onion peels and other vege scraps. (I can't believe people throw that stuff away! haha.) My sister laughed at my frozen bag of onion and garlic peels along with carrot and celery ends. However, she approved of my black bean and other soups made with it.
Obviously that price wasn't going to last, but thanks for letting us know!
I have a pressure canner that I've been using, on long term loan from a friend. It's nothing fancy, but works for beans. SO much faster to cook them that way!
Would love to have you share some of your pressure cooker recipes. I have one but don't often use it.

I receive regular inquiries from prospective investors about investing in real estate in Austin. At the outset I try to determine the objective of the investor by asking some questions. Usually it will be an open ended question like "Why do you want to own investment property in Austin TX?".
Then I just listen.
It's amazing how many prospective Austin real estate investors cannot articulate a coherent reason for their interest in investing in real estate. The responses vary from wholly uninformed dream seekers, kicking tires and "researching" on a whim (which is fine!), to incredibly informed wealth builders who really do know their numbers and what they hope to accomplish with a real estate investment over time.
It's the latter we seek to help, though I like to think I'm always helpful and friendly to the ones with unreasonable hopes and expectations by discussing it a bit, or directing them to our Investing in Austin Real Estate page.
The most striking disagreement I have when talking to prospective investors comes about with the ones focused solely on "cash flow". They want to buy a "property that cash flows at least a couple of hundred a month".
I don't personally care about cash flow, so I'm unsympathetic to this requirement. I'm not tuned in to it, because it's not how I think about wealth building. Cash Flow is meaningless to me. Many are confused when I say this.
I just think it's the wrong thing to focus on because that's not what ultimately determines the success or failure of a real estate "buy and hold" investment, over time. I'll explain further below with an actual real life example of a property I actually own.
What I do want from my real estate investment is that it produce a slow, steady, reliable increase in Net Worth over time. That's it. I'm patient, as this is something that happens over decades, not a quick flip. I am a "Buy and Hold" real estate investor, and that's who I specialize in helping as well. I help people seeking wealth accumulation, not income. Read more …
With all the news about the alleged fraud committed by Trump University, and how it ripped off unsuspecting victims, I wonder if any modern day journalists know that the Real Estate Investing Seminar industry was around long before Trump. And it remains alive and well today, doing exactly the same thing Trump is accused of. But if all you know is what you read and see on the news, you'd think he was the first and last.
If you listen to local radio while driving around Austin, or watch much TV, you've seen and heard the real estate investing seminar ads. At least 2 big Real Estate Investing seminars that I know of have come through Austin this year already, promising that you'll learn how to become a real estate investor.
I think another one will be here next week. Do a Google search for "real estate investing seminar Austin", then click on images in the results, and you'll see something similar to the screen shown here. And you'll see plenty of paid ads meant to capture your interest and take your money.
Should you attend a real estate investing seminar? Probably not.
I won't claim that all real estate investment industry education is bogus. In fact, I purchased the Carlton Sheets video tape and workbook series for a few hundred dollars in the early 1990s. I was a sucker too (or was I?). More on that and how it actually helped me in a minute. Read more …
Have you ever woken up on a Friday morning with no intention of moving and by 5PM that day have submitted an offer on a home? That's what Sylvia and I recently did, and it's not the first time.
We really thought our current place in Westlake would be our "forever" retirement home. We've slowly improved and updated it, but still had a major kitchen and master bath redo and expansion in our future. The location is, in my opinion, the best in Austin for both our current working/family and future empty-nester lifestyles. 8 minutes to Town Lake, Zilker or Downtown, easy access to Mopac or 360, walking distance Trianon Coffee, FroYoyo, a Thundercloud Subs and more. Even a Cap Metro bus stop 6 minutes walk from our front door goes through Zilker Park and into downtown.
Our daughter can walk to Westlake High, and we're within even closer proximity to the elementary and middle schools, which is what draws so many families and gives the Woodhaven neighborhood such a good mix of great people. It's really perfect. A geographically "central" location without the quirky annoyances and absurdities of the 78704 areas.
But …Prices in the 'hood have gone through the roof. It's not going to be affordable or practical as a retirement home. If we make the contemplated improvements, our "retirement" home – a basic 1970s rancher – would be transformed and more highly valued and thus produce an annual property tax bill bigger than I want to swallow for the next 30 years. Sure, we'd be building equity, but still, property taxes seem to have gone too high already.
Life as an Austin Realtor requires a varied set of skills. Add to those now the ability to operate under constant Red Alert conditions if you hope to be an effective Buyer's Agent. Here is the latest example.
Sylvia had buyers in from out of town last Saturday. Both houses they liked already had multiple offers. They went in on one of the homes. It wasn't until Monday morning we found out another offer was selected. Meanwhile 5 new properties came on the market. The buyers were leaving town Monday night. Sylvia wasn't feeling well so I took her buyers out Monday. We found a home they liked, checked with the agent and was told at 2PM that the owner was already reviewing multiple offers from the weekend.
We convinced the agent to wait for our offer. Saw the house, liked it, drove to my home where we all sat around our embarrassingly unclean kitchen table while I wrote it up. We did "old school" signatures on paper instead of DocuSign. I scanned and emailed to the agent with a pre-approval letter, followed by a phone call to "sell it" to the agent that this was the right buyer to select. This is all done with a sense of urgency, but not panic. Nevertheless, no room for mistakes, delays or incompetence. For adrenaline junkies like me, it's fun. But not for most people.
How did it turn out? Read more …
I often experience something many Austinites will never know. A quiet uncrowded Austin. No traffic. No noise. No crowds. Just peaceful serenity and bliss.
There is no turning back – no solution – for Austin's traffic problems, congestion, growth, commercial encroachment into central neighborhoods, and myriad other small and big annoyances caused by Austin's economic "success". We all have to develop coping mechanisms to keep our sanity intact. Resistance is futile. You will either assimilate, or move away in disgust. I don't want to leave Austin, I want to Love Austin. I want to keep that love alive. So I've adjusted my personal lifestyle and business practices in ways that equip me to better cope with the new reality of life in Austin. Here's what I do.
Wake up at 5AM and go Running
You don't have to run, you can walk, or do something else. Either out your front door through your still-sleeping neighborhood, or drive to your favorite hike and bike trail, park, or the gym. There will be no traffic. The city will be yours. At 5-6AM, there are typically only about 3 cars parked under the Mopac bridge at Town Lake.
Running (or walking) around Town Lake (aka Lady Bird Lake) in the pre-dawn silence, under the dim light of the Zilker Moon Tower, and the distant glow of downtown Austin, is as peaceful and quieting an experience as one can know. When I do this, usually Sunday, Monday and Thursdays, I do it unplugged. No iPod music. Just the dark silence of the morning. I usually encounter no more than a few others on the trail, depending on the weather and how early I go. By 6AM, the trail starts slowly populating, but is still uncrowded, and by 7AM, the normal early birds are there, the sun is up, and it's no longer deserted. Read more …
When you read a news article about Austin real estate that reports average and median home prices, the values quoted are often those from total Austin MLS sales. Those sales figures are compiled from the entire Austin MLS service area, including suburbs, nearby cities as well as some far flung areas. The "Austin MLS" might more accurately be referred to as a "Central Texas MLS".
Therefore, you might read in one of the "Best of" articles about Austin, that "The Average Sold price for single family homes in the Austin Metro area for 2013 is $314,300 and the Median Sold price is $235,000".
Those values are represented in the green bars in the graph above. To those thinking of moving to Austin, a median price of $235K sounds pretty affordable. It means half of all houses in "Austin" sell for less than $235K. A buyer with good credit earning the Austin median family income of $65K annually, can qualify for a mortgage payment of $1,950 per month at 5%, or a $266K home. Austin seems like a sweet deal and a great place to live to an outsider reading about it.

SOURCE: American Diabetes Association
February 13, 2012 16:11 ET
ALEXANDRIA, VA--(Marketwire - Feb 13, 2012) - The American Diabetes Association (Association) is concerned that funding for core discretionary and mandatory health programs included in the President's Fiscal Year (FY) 2013 Budget falls far short of the investment needed to stop the diabetes epidemic.
Nearly 26 million Americans have diabetes and 79 million have prediabetes, placing them at increased risk for developing type 2 diabetes. The total annual cost of diabetes and its complications, including undiagnosed diabetes, prediabetes and gestational diabetes was an estimated $218 billion in 2007, and will grow exponentially unless we act. Although we appreciate our country's difficult fiscal situation, now is not the time to decrease funding for, or make structural changes to, programs that provide a lifeline to individuals living with, or at risk for diabetes.
The Association is concerned that the Administration's Budget does not provide adequate resources to continue the nation's investment in diabetes prevention and research at National Institutes of Health (NIH) and Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), both of which are critically important to addressing the diabetes epidemic.
The National Institute of Diabetes and Digestive and Kidney Diseases (NIDDK) at the NIH is leading the way in supporting researchers across the country who are engaged in studies that will move us closer to a cure and better treatments for diabetes. The Association is concerned that the decreased level of funding that the President has proposed for the NIDDK will slow or halt promising research work that would allow individuals with the disease to live healthier, more productive lives.
The Association is also disappointed that the President's FY 2013 Budget does not provide adequate funding for valuable diabetes prevention efforts at the Division of Diabetes Translation (DDT) at the CDC. Additionally, the President's Budget includes a proposal to combine some chronic disease programs -- including the DDT -- at CDC. While the Association welcomes more coordination at CDC, in this challenging budget environment we caution that without substantial resources, it is imprudent to move forward with chronic disease consolidation at the agency. The DDT's ability to help people avoid diabetes and its devastating complications in every state and territory would be severely reduced under the proposal to consolidate chronic disease programs included in the Budget.
In addition, the Association is concerned about provisions in the Budget that affect important mandatory programs. The President's Budget includes harmful cuts to Medicaid and Medicare, programs that provide essential access to care for more than 14 million children and adults with diabetes. The Association is particularly alarmed by proposals to shift additional costs to beneficiaries and states and restructure certain Medicaid and Medicare services because these kinds of drastic changes will limit access for low-income and older Americans and lead to a deterioration in state Medicaid programs, Medicare and public health.
Included in the President's FY 2013 budget are proposals to increase cost-sharing for many Medicare beneficiaries. The Association notes that in 2006, one in four Medicare beneficiaries spent 30 percent or more of annual income on health expenses and nearly seven in ten Medicare enrollees spent 10 percent of their income on health expenses. Considering that half of all Medicare beneficiaries have incomes of $22,500 of less in 2012,1 it's clear that Medicare beneficiaries already pay their fair share and additional cost burdens must not be placed on those who are already spending a substantial percentage of their income on health expenses.
The Association strongly supports funding for the Prevention and Public Health Fund (Fund) which provides an unprecedented opportunity to invest in public health efforts to prevent and detect costly and life-threatening diseases like diabetes. Given the long-awaited initial funding of the National Diabetes Prevention Fund in the FY 2012 allocation of the Fund, we are disappointed to see the Fund has been cut in the FY 2013 budget and view it as a dangerous step backwards in our progress to prevent disease, promote wellness and reduce healthcare costs.
The 105 million children and adults with diabetes and prediabetes are counting on these programs to help treat, prevent, and cure diabetes and its complications. As the FY 2013 budget and appropriations process begins, we look forward to working with the Administration and Members of Congress to Stop Diabetes® and combat the explosive growth in the financial and human tolls of diabetes.
The American Diabetes Association is leading the fight to Stop Diabetes and its deadly consequences and fighting for those affected by diabetes. The Association funds research to prevent, cure and manage diabetes; delivers services to hundreds of communities; provides objective and credible information; and gives voice to those denied their rights because of diabetes. Founded in 1940, our mission is to prevent and cure diabetes and to improve the lives of all people affected by diabetes. For more information please call the American Diabetes Association at 1-800-DIABETES (1-800-342-2383) or visit www.diabetes.org. Information from both these sources is available in English and Spanish.

Genre: Acoustic Jazz, Multi-Instrumentalist, Songwriter
SUSSEX was founded by longtime friends Rob Lutes and Michael Emenau who after a 25 year pursuing their own careers, once again find themselves making music together. Their diverse musical backgrounds ranging from Blues, Roots, Jazz, and Electronic music have given them a unique palette for storytelling and dream-making. For the debut album they have enlisted the services of several of Canada's finest players in an ensemble that features acoustic and electric guitar, vibraphone, violin, trumpet and upright bass.
