Thursday, 5 September 2013 - 12 p.m.
About the Film: KCTS 9's Enrique Cerna, the son of Mexican immigrants, examines the history of Latinos in Washington and how their dramatic population growth is bringing change to politics, education, immigration and entrepreneurship in the state. Cerna reflects on his family's Yakima Valley heritage along with others, including Phyllis Gutierrez-Kenney's transformation from migrant laborer to political trailblazer and the entrepreneurial story of winemaker Victor Palencia.
Latinos: The Changing Face of Washington premieres Thursday, 9/17, at 7:00 p.m. on KCTS 9 and KYVE 47. The Spanish language version of the documentary will premiere on Vme as Latinos: El Rostro Cambiante de Washington Friday, 10/4, at 9:00 p.m. For more information visit: KCTS9.org/latinos.
The Graduates/Los Graduados
Please join us for a preview screening of The Graduates/Los Graduados on September 7 at 2 p.m.. The Graduates/Los Graduados explores the many roots of the Latino dropout crisis through the eyes of six inspiring young students from across the United States who are part of an on-going effort to increase graduation rates for a growing Latino population.
Un documental revelador sobre los desafĂos que enfrentan los estudiantes Latinos en Estados Unidos.
Saturday, September 7 at 2 p.m. (doors 1:30 p.m.)
Film preview | Wilmer Valderrama PBS Keynote Clip
Also featured in the film are actor Wilmer Valderrama a vocal advocate for the Latino community and Latino youth in particular through organizations such as Voto Latino, Maria Teresa Kumar the founding President and CEO of Voto Latino and an Emmy-nominated contributor on MSNBC, and Antonio Villaraigosa Mayor of Los Angeles (2005-2013) a former high school dropout himself.
Much more than a survey of contemporary policy debates, the student profiles in The Graduates/Los Graduados offer a first-hand perspective on the challenges facing many Latino high school students, including over-crowded schools, crime-ridden neighborhoods, teen pregnancy, and pressure to contribute to the family finances. The stories in this compelling documentary make you root along with the successes and challenges of los graduados. The Graduates/Los Graduados is an eye-opening introduction to many of the determined and resilient young people who will shape America's future.
The film is suggested for adults and both boys and girls ages 13+. The film preview is followed by a casual audience Q&A featuring our partner organizations El Centro de la Raza, and others.

Few wines in Washington are as compelling – or as controversial – as those from Cayuse Vineyards. The wines of Cayuse are quite simply unlike any other wines produced in the state. Many things contribute to this but they can all be summed up as follows – Christophe Baron.
Baron is a native of France who grew up studying enology in Champagne and Burgundy. Baron traveled in the Walla Walla Valley in the mid-1990s and noticed an orchard covered with large cobblestones that reminded him of those in Chateauneuf de Pape. In the ensuing years, Baron planted a number of vineyards in this unforgiving area, using crowbars to plant the vines.
Many things distinguish Cayuse from other wineries in the state. One of them is these vineyards. The vineyards are unique in a variety of respects in addition to the cobblestones (although Baron guards the stones carefully saying anyone who takes one is sentenced to seven years of bad sex). Unlike many in the state, Baron uses vines grafted to Phyloxera-resistant rootstock. He made this decision after talking with a French winemaker who told him he was an "idiot" if he did not (Note: An exception to this is Cailloux Vineyard which was planted in 1997). Baron also keeps yields extremely low, about two tons per acre to concentrate the fruit.
In farming the vineyards, Baron uses biodynamic principles. These principles were first laid out by Rudolf Steiner in the early 20th century. Biodynamic viticulture involves looking at the vineyard as a holistic system. While it shares some commonalities with organic farming, it also embraces a more spiritual and philosophical bent. Among other things, biodynamic farming involves creating a series of preparations that are applied to the vineyard, such as cow manure buried in a cow horn in the soil. While many debate the scientific effect of biodynamic principles on the resulting wine, one thing is clear. Embracing this philosophy requires a meticulous attention to detail and intense care for the vineyards.
As Cayuse Vineyards has grown in size to its current fifty-five acres, Baron says he has been forced to follow the biodynamic principles a bit differently than he did when he first started given that timing is essential. Though there are thirty people working at the vineyard full-time, plowing the vineyards all at the same time according to the lunar calendar is nearly impossible. Baron says he has had to become more pragmatic and flexible.
In terms of production, Baron ferments his wine in concrete tanks adorned with rocks from the vineyards before moving them to barrel. Baron jokes that these concrete tanks is where the minerality of his wines comes from. Still, he says it would be impossible to get the same effect he is looking for from other containers.
For his fermentation, Baron uses only native yeast – those that come from the grapes. This is in contrast to most winemakers who use designer yeast that is added to the juice. For this reason, fermentation at Cayuse is sluggish compared to many in the state, often taking more than three weeks (compared to 7-10 days for those that add yeast). This can create a number of challenges in the winemaking process. For example, for the 2009 vintage of one of the tanks had not started fermentation after seven days of waiting. Baron solved the issue by adding juice from a tank that was fermenting. Baron says that when the health of the vineyard is good, the yeast will be good saying "We don't use forces of death. All we use are forces of life."
Baron says he wants what is in the glass to provide "emotion". In this, he surely succeeds. People love, hate, or are just plain baffled by Cayuse wines because they are so distinct. The wines are marked by aromas and flavors of earth, mineral, blood, iodine, and meat. They are, quite simply, unlike any other wines being produced in Washington.
Cayuse distributes its wine exclusively via mailing list with a years-long waiting list. The wines are sold in three packs and come in boxes bearing the winery's logo. Since the initial releases, all of Cayuse's wines have been highly rated and sought after. And with good reason. These are not only among the most interesting wines being made in the state; Baron has also kept his prices reasonable despite the steady high scores and the stream of accolades.
Cayuse makes a series of vineyard-designated Syrah from what is referred to as "The Rocks" area of the Walla Walla Valley AVA. These vineyards are named Cailloux, En Cerise (French for cherry), En Chamberlin, and Armada. Bionic Frog is the name of the winery's top of the line Syrah. Cayuse also makes a Cabernet Franc-dominant Bordeaux blend (Flying Pig), a Cabernet-dominant Bordeaux blend (Camaspelo); a Cabernet (The Widowmaker); a Tempranillo (Impulsivo); a Grenache (God Only Knows); a Rose; and a Viognier.
Here we sample three vineyard-designated Syrah from the new 2007 vintage: the Cailloux, En Chamberlain, and En Cerise.
Note: All wines decanted two hours prior to tasting and sampled at 66 degrees.
Cayuse Vineyards Cailloux Vineyard Walla Walla Valley 2007 $50 Rating: **
A downright stinky nose with manure, burnt embers, and purple fruit. A well fleshed out, meaty palate dominated by olive flavors in its rich, expansive middle. Drinks like a well-cooked steak. 14.2% alcohol.
Cayuse Vineyards En Chamberlain Vineyard Walla Walla Valley 2007 $50 Rating: **
A funky, aromatic nose with mushroom, earth, mineral, streaky red fruit, floral notes, and healthy dose of black pepper. Thick and intense on a palate that has a perfect polish to it and is almost impenetrable. The palate shows lots of sliced black olives and pepper. The finish is seemingly endless. 14.6% alcohol.
Cayuse Vineyards En Cerise Vineyard Walla Walla Valley 2007 $50 Rating: *
Blood, smoked meat, mineral, and earth on a nose that is restrained initially yet powerful. The palate is rich with fruit and flavors of bloody roast beef. The finish lingers. A compelling wine that is missing a few layers on the palate compared to its littermates. 14.6% alcohol.
Cayuse Vineyards 2007 Syrah
Few wines in Washington are as compelling – or as controversial – as those from Cayuse Vineyards. The wines of Cayuse are quite simply unlike any other wines produced in the state. Many things contribute to this but they can all be summed up as follows – Christophe Baron.

This is a great story piece. I feel like I have had an intimate experience with the story here! Fantastic work, Sean. I've never had the pleasure of enjoying a Cayuse wine and I have to say that with descriptors of manure, mushroom, and blood, I'm a little hesitant. Your high rating marks certainly put me at ease.
Thanks again!
Josh @nectarwine (twitter friend)
Josh, thanks for the kind words and comment.
west wine Says:
Wow...great post Sean! I meant to ask you if Christophe used native yeast or commercially available yeast, but my question was answered in the article...very informative as usual. Thanks for letting me participate...my only difference in your ratings is that I would have given the En Cerise two stars. In fact, I secured a couple more after the tasting. Consider that an invitation to try in a year or so.
Darren, thanks for the comment - and for contributing to the tasting. I will take you up on that invitation.
cityroute16 Says:
Fascinating article! What little I knew about Cayuse, now has grown to conversational starter material. It's interesting to see that if Mr. Baron's wines weren't so well received by the wine community, he might well be regarded as an eccentric and just plain weird. Just goes to show you that taking different paths can lead to success.
Jared Says:
Great report and notes. We seem to be simpatico when it comes to Cayuse. Someone who had never heard of Cayuse or maybe just in passing (Are there still people around who haven't heard of Cayuse?!) would certainly be pumped to try the wines after your article. We need to get together sometime and maybe taste a vertical of one of the single vineyards or even the Frog or Impulsivo. I was assembling a top ten list for 2009 and Cayuse dominated it so much that I actually ended up posting two lists. One Cayuse Top Ten and the other wines that weren't Cayuse! Keep up the good work and drink well on New Year's Eve!!
Janet Says:
This is a great article. I live in Walla Walla and have yet to try Cayuse wine. It seems to be exclusive. I have heard good and bad about it. How important do you think it is to enjoy at 66 degrees?
Cityroute, interestingly, biodynamics - while I wouldn't say it's mainstream - is becoming more and more common for many Washington and Oregon wineries. It's very uncommon to see it on the label at this point but perhaps at some point it will show up.
Jared, thanks for the comment and kind words. Would love to check out a vineyard vertical some time. Very fun idea. Have a good start to the New Year.
Janet, temperature is important to me as I believe it greatly effects on the perception of the wine (as do many things I might add). At warmer temperatures (70+ degrees or room temperature in most cases), wines often become flabby, tart, and generally out of balance. This is especially true for higher alcohol wines (15%+). Below 60 degrees, aromas and flavors become muted and barrel notes can often dominate. For this reason, I try to drink wines between 62-66 degrees which is where I find most do well. That said, I don't believe the Cayuse wines would be particularly negatively affected going up to say 70 degrees. Like many wines, the Cayuse wines are distinct and not necessarily everyone's style. Thanks for the comment!

Sean, great article on a great winery.

In a world full of overpriced organic food chains, it's easy to get discouraged about eating healthily. But believe it or not, you don't have to spend a lot of money to eat well.
Here are ten foods that will help you meet the task without busting your budget.
Frozen Fruits and Vegetables
Fruits and veggies are a great snack on their own, but you can also use them to make smoothies, supplement a meal, or serve as a main course in dishes like vegetable lasagna or broccoli salad.
Buying fruits and veggies from the frozen section is much more affordable than fresh. For example, the average retail price for a pound of fresh blueberries is $4.73, while the same amount frozen averages only $3.64. And since you don't have to worry about them going bad if you don't eat them right away, the chance of wasting money is slimmer. While it's true for certain produce that the nutrient composition can change marginally when freezing fruits and vegetables, the difference is negligible, according to a study by researchers at the University of California-Davis.
You can't keep your frozen fare indefinitely, but you can keep it a long time. A University of Georgia study found it typically it takes eight months to a year before nutrients start deteriorating in your freezer, so you're unlikely to overbuy.
Brown Rice
Rice is affordable, but because it's a carb, it's also very filling. A little goes a long way, with one cup of dry rice feeding a family of four. It's one of the few readily available carbs that doesn't contain gluten, making it an affordable alternative to specialty breads and flours for those with sensitivities.
When it comes to carbohydrates, brown is better. In the case of brown rice, it is not as fully refined as white rice. Rice is a seed, and brown rice retains a part of the seed's hull. This protective layer helps it maintain the nutrients inside the seed so they don't cook away.
Brown rice can be enjoyed on its own, but it can also be used as a side or as a main ingredient in a dish. One go-to for an easy meal is a mushroom chicken rice bake. Use 3/4 cup of rice, mix in one can of cream of mushroom soup and 1 cup water. Throw frozen chicken on top and bake, and you have a full meal — as long as you pull out one of those frozen veggies as a side.
Whole-Wheat Bread
Whole-wheat bread is an affordable, multipurpose carb. Use it for sandwiches, and you can add protein with meat or nut butter. Use it for toast in the morning to get your metabolism started for the day. It's incredibly easy to pair with other foods and is a staple of a frugal pantry.
Bread doesn't tend to keep well, though. To make sure yours doesn't get moldy, keep in a dry place at room temperature. That includes keeping it away from heat sources like your fridge or dishwasher. If you're a serial offender when it comes to bread and food waste, consider freezing half the loaf so it will last longer.
Much like brown rice, whole-wheat bread is more nutritious than its white counterpart because of the refining process.
Whole-Grain Pasta
While the price of pasta has gone up over the past decade, it still makes for an affordable meal. Heavy in carbs, it fills you up quickly, and it can be supplemented by vegetables and marginal amounts of meat soaked in sauce.
Because whole-grain pasta is made with whole-wheat flour, it retains a lot more of its vitamins, minerals, and fiber than its "regular" counterpart, which is made with refined flour.
Beans are a nutrient-packed protein and almost always cheaper (and sometimes healthier) than meat. If you want a super-frugal meal, use your beans, rice, and frozen veggies. You'll have your food pyramid pretty much balanced.
Dry beans are more cost-effective than canned. When you buy canned, you're not only paying for the weight of the beans — you're also paying for the liquid they're submerged in. Canned beans can cost twice as much as dry, but know yourself. If you don't take the time to prepare the dry beans, you won't reap any of the nutritional benefits. That being said, canned beans are still cheaper than meat, and take a lot less time to prepare.
Regardless of packaging, you don't have to eat your beans plain. You can bust out the slow cooker and make some chili. Add them to a soup or salad and suddenly your light fare becomes filling and nutrient-rich. The possibilities are endless.
Frozen Chicken
If you appreciate that beans have protein, but still want to eat meat, those economy-size bags of frozen chicken are an affordable alternative.
You can purchase either chicken thighs or chicken breasts. Breasts are marginally healthier. In the past thighs have been dramatically cheaper. In the past decade, though, the price of thighs has caught up to the price of breasts, making the amount you pay at the checkout line virtually identical. Pick whichever tastes best to you.
When making your purchase, be sure to look for chicken that has been "air chilled." This means that no water was used in the freezing process and that you won't be paying for the associated ice. Every ounce you're paying for will be pure chicken.
Chicken can be used in salads or rice bakes, or as the main course itself. It's extremely versatile, so you will be able to turn it into a meal no matter what else is left in your cabinet.
The price of eggs can fluctuate greatly. Regardless of these fluctuations, they're still a great pick for healthy and affordable meals. They provide a lot of protein and serve as a leavening agent in baking. Whether you're making an omelet or baking a birthday cake so you don't have to pay over-inflated prices at a bakery, eggs are a staple you'll need on an ongoing basis.
Egg producers put a lot of different labels on their packaging to convince you that their product is the healthiest. While it's true that "cage-free" eggs may be marginally healthier, there's no organization that oversees this certification. Omega-3 is good for you, but "omega-3 enriched" eggs often have the exact same amount of omega-3 as regular eggs — with quite the markup.
As far as actual health benefits go, the only certification that is monitored is "organic." The USDA audits these egg producers every year, ensuring that their hens are eating food that is free of antibiotics, pesticides, animal byproducts, and GMOs.
If you're going to spend more money on specialty eggs for health reasons, "organic" is the only label you can really trust.
Much like rice, oatmeal is a gluten-free carb that can help you feel full by eating a relatively small amount. It's also full of minerals that your body needs, unlike the refined carbs found in sugary cereals.
Because it keeps you full longer, oatmeal is a common component of many weight-loss diets, but it has other health benefits aside from fighting obesity. The fiber in oatmeal helps regulate cholesterol, aiding heart health. The fiber also helps improve intestinal health.
The best way to purchase oats is in a large container. Those small, microwaveable, flavored packets may be convenient, but they're more expensive and reduce the oats' versatility.
You can make oatmeal for breakfast, adding your own milk and spices, or you can add it to your yogurt for a nutritious morning meal. If you bake your own bread, oats are a great way to add even more nutrition to a whole-wheat loaf, and for those occasions when you indulge in baking desserts, oatmeal adds texture and helps make you feel like you're doing something a little better for your body than you actually are.
Nut Butters
Nut butters — like almond, cashew, and peanut — are high in protein, keeping you full longer. They're commonly used in weight-loss diets for this reason, and can also help combat high cholesterol. They can be used in sandwiches or on toast, and can encourage more fruit consumption as nut butters make a phenomenal dip.
Nut butters can be expensive, though. Almond butter has one of the lowest calorie counts, but it also comes with a high price tag. If you're not loving the price at your regular or specialty grocer, check to see if there's a food co-op in your area.
Food co-ops sometimes require membership, but sometimes don't. They typically provide exclusively healthier foods and have a strong emphasis on organic or locally sourced products. When compared to large chains, their prices tend to be lower, allowing you to get all the benefits of products like nut butter at a lower price.
Coconut Oil
Oil is a necessary part of any diet, but which oil you choose can greatly impact your health. Pick an oil with too much trans fat, and your cholesterol levels are likely to get out of whack. Pick one with the right mixture of healthy acids, and consumption could actually boost your immune system.
Coconut oil is a good choice because it has lauric acid — which is known to fight illnesses and boost the immune system. Make sure to purchase a product that has not been partially hydrogenated, though. Hydrogenated oil is a trans fat, and can negate some of the benefits you're reaping by using coconut oil in the first place.
Don't like the taste of coconut? No problem. Refined coconut oil has very little taste and is actually better than the unrefined version when you're doing stovetop cooking. Unrefined coconut oil has a smoke point of 350 degrees, while refined coconut oil's smoke point is 450 degrees. This is also higher than the extra virgin olive oil that has long been a staple of the healthy cook's repertoire. Extra virgin olive oil's smoke point is 410 degrees, making refined coconut oil the best choice for cooking.
Coconut oil has become increasingly integrated into mainstream grocery stores, but if you're still struggling with price, keep an eye out for lower prices while you're picking up your nut butter at your local co-op.

Police and fire departments will start special patrols in the Sacramento region next week. They will try to stop the sale and use of illegal fireworks like cherry bombs, roman candles and bottle rockets.
Mark Harri with the Sacramento Police Department bomb squad says those fireworks typically are bought in counties of neighboring states where non-safe-and-sane fireworks are legal.
"The harm in an M-80 or some kind of cardboard tube device like this is that it has a lot of flash powder in it and it can create a lot of damage," he says.
Besides the risk of personal injury, the California State Fire Marshall's office says illegal fireworks caused $1.5 million in property damage around July 4th last year.
Cal Fire says it has already seized 150,000 pounds of illegal fireworks this year. That is about three times the amount of fireworks seized all of last year.
These are examples of the legal fireworks sold at more than 400 fireworks stands in the Sacramento region this year:

The Night Grace Kelly Surprised JFK in His Room
By Steve Mencher , November 19, 2013 05:35 PM
John F. Kennedy, confined to bed after painful back surgery in the mid-1950s, had a surprise visitor one night. A young woman stumbled into his hospital room and introduced herself as the new night nurse.
He didn't believe her for a second.
Although they'd never met, he instantly recognized Grace Kelly - not yet a princess, but already a movie star - who'd been put up to the prank by JFK's wife, Jackie, and her sister, Lee.
>> Get travel discounts with your AARP Member Advantages.
Kelly, who became Grace, Princess of Monaco, in 1956, told the story to writer Paul Gallico in 1965. The interview, archived at the John F. Kennedy Presidential Library and Museum in Boston, was part of an oral history effort started in 1964 by Kennedy associates to chronicle his life and death.
A wonderful animation of an interview excerpt has debuted just in time for the late November commemoration of the 50th anniversary of JFK's death.
"I, for one, cannot believe that a man of Mr. Kennedy's stature and achievements was put upon this earth for no other reason than to stop an assassin's bullet," the princess tells Gallico. "I believe that God allows these certain tragedies to happen, in order to emphasize the man and his achievement, and to inspire those who follow to have the strength and will to accomplish his unfulfilled dreams."
>> Discussion: Which celebrity do you resemble?
This video is part of a larger project to rescue lost interviews and foster collaboration between journalists and animators such as Patrick Smith, who drew the Kelly piece. It's organized by Blank on Blank, a multimedia nonprofit, in collaboration with PBS Digital Studios and the audio team at PRX, the Public Radio Exchange. In the past year, they've created animated shorts based on interviews with Fidel Castro, Louis Armstrong, Kurt Cobain, Wilt Chamberlain and Janis Joplin, among others.

Saratoga Hills
Pool Cleaning Companies
1) Can you provide references?
If you just came here from web search, and you have been browsing other pool service websites, you will notice how easy it is to create a nice looking "facade". But how certain can you be about the integrity of pool service companies? References will tell you 3 things: their experience and technical know-how, their commitment with their clients, and the fairness of their pricing.
2) Do you perform the service yourself?
Many pool service companies in Saratoga Hills are a simple mobile phone where the person taking your call will send whatever low-cost staff they can find to service your pool.
If you would like you pool to be treated as you would do it yourselft, owner operated pool service is the way to go. No one can be so zealous with quality service and can provide quick insight and solutions to your pool problems, right on the spot.
3) Will you be available?
It is quite easy to take too much work for a very low cost. What is not so easy is figuring out where to get enough time and technicians to actually do the job. That is why unprofessional pool service companies are always promising "I'll get back to you", "I was about to call you" and then take days to respond.
Quality pool service companies in Saratoga Hills should be expected to have a 24 hour max response time.
4) Will you take care or my pool equipment?
Pool service companies with "generic" knowledge about pool equipment usually take longer to solve the issue, may damage it while trying to repair it and have a harder time identifying parts to be replaced and where to source them. Because a pump is not just pump. A filter is not a whichever filter. And pool heaters are not all created equal.
That's why you should ask if they have been factory trained by the equipment brands you have in your pool, be them Jandy, Pentair, Hayward, Sta-Rite, Raypak – you name it. This ensures the problem will be solved promptly and with the lowest cost.
5) Will you make sure our pool water is safe and healthy?
There is a big difference between "looking" clean and "being" clean. A quick 5 minute visits, a guesstimate of chlorine and trickling some chemicals may do the job for some weeks. But accumulated imbalances in chemicals will invariably: deteriorate your pool lining either by excess calcium deposits or erosion, clot your pumps and filters or burn them because of water acidity, not to mention irritate your skin (dermatitis is very common) or overlook proliferation of fungi and bacteria.
Experienced pool service companies will know the exact proportions, frequency and what measurements to take, with the appropriate instruments and reactive tests. The difference between looking and being clean, is simply peace of mind.
More advanced pool service firms can fully recycle your pool water removing any chemical overlod and most organic matter still present in it (saving over 80% of municipal water refill)
6) Are you licensed and insured?
You'd be surprised to learn how many pool service "companies" in Saratoga Hills don't actually have a license, nor are insured. Although it is not a guarantee of professionalism or quality work, it is a pre-requisite for your own protection.
Typical Costs Charged by Professional Pool Service Companies in Saratoga Hills
Licensed, insured pool service companies with a minimum of 10 years experience usually charge the following monthly, making one visit per week:
- Small pool: $115-175
- Medium pool: $125-250
- Large pool: $200-500
The price varies because it depends if the pool is indoor or outdoor, on the surrounding landscape, winds in the area of Saratoga Hills you live, and pool usage.
If your pool needs repairs, maintenance, equipment review and service, pool service companies charge a "visit" fee. For orientation, on average:
- Pool problem diagnostic: $90
You recover this amount if you agree to their proposed repair/service quote.
One of the most frequent equipment that needs regular cleaning is the pool filter. It may be quarterly, but high wind / heavy usage pools may need it much sooner. Among licenced, insured pool service companies in Saratoga Hills, the usual cost is:
- Pool filter clean: $70
Detected and cleaned on time, it prevents excessive circuit pressure, forcing the pump to work beyond the recommended parameters.
- Pool Heater: $2,500 - $4,500
Dependable pool service companies servicing Saratoga Hills should be ready to give you references for you to contact.

The State of Search Radioshow is becoming more popular every week. And not just with the listeners, also with the guests. They are lining up to be part of the show which airs every Tuesday on Webmasterradio.
Last week the show had Danny Sullivan on as a guest and this week there is another great name we can add to our impressive list of guests: Stefan Weitz of Bing.
Stefan Weitz is the director of Bing. He is the person if you want to know anything about Bing. So we'll be asking him everything we possibly can about Bing's strategy, when they will be coming to Europe, their copying skills and the difference between them and their competitors.
You can off course as ever join us in the chatroom to pop questions yourself. The show starts at 8pm in Europe, 7 in the UK, in the US at 2pm on the East Coast and 11am on the West Coast.
But we'd love to hear some questions you have for Bing's director already beforehand so we can ask them in the show tonight. There must be a question you've always wanted to ask Bing's big boss. Drop the questions in the comments and we'll try to get an answer tonight!

A message of help from Montreal
Montreal, 7 June – The ground is still shaking in the Emilia-Romagna region of Italy and the drama that many families are experiencing in our part of the world involves all of us at Ferrari. For that reason, this afternoon, the team here in Montreal for the Canadian Grand Prix, wanted to send a strong message to the whole world. Anyone who wants to offer help to those who have suffered a loss or whose house or work place has been lost because of the earthquake can do so through the on-line auction which opened yesterday afternoon at www.ferrari.com. Everyone in the team, drivers, engineers, mechanics, kitchen staff, marketing and hospitality personnel, gathered together outside the Scuderia's garage this afternoon, standing behind a pit-board bearing a simple but effective message: "Help Emilia Romagna. Auction on www.ferrari.com." "This is a very difficult time for so many people who live near us and this auction is the least we could do to make a contribution," said Team Principal Stefano Domenicali. "We hope that between now and 20 June, when it closes, we will manage to raise a lot of money to send as quickly as possible to those who are suffering so much at the moment."

I've been searching all over the Internet and I can't find a single guide for what a Killers fan should do in Las Vegas. What?! This band has been around for seven years and we Victims can't gather up a guide for our fellow fans, who just want to see more than Sam's Town? For shame! Alright I GUESS I can create the guide myself, since I've already enlightened fans about such important issues as, where Brandon bought his purple tiger hoodie, and, who has copied his feather epaulettes. Yes. You're welcome. Moving on-
This is the Victim's Guide to Fabulous Las Vegas
First, some required knowledge before you DARE SET FOOT THERE-
-You must think of LV as "the Killers fan's Mecca." Because that's essentially what it is. And you are just a lowly commoner Victim making a pilgrimage to the holy land, essentially. This is a replenishing, soul-fulfilling experience you are about to embark on. Are you even ready? I'm talking Magdalena levels of pilgrimage epicness!
-It is hot as fuck there in the summer. It's DRY and HOT and the SUN is so intense, you will practically melt. I know Brandon makes it seem like it's heaven on earth, but really you're going to be sweating like a pig if you go in the summer.
-You have to memorize TK's version of the state song "Home Means Nevada" before you set foot there. Get to practicing.
-The moment you get out of your car, or airport, and step outside on the city of Las Vegas's land, you have to fall to the floor and bow three times at its holiness. Say (while kneeling, with your hand on your heart): "I have come to the land of Brandon, Ronnie, Mark, and Dave- this is *THE* Fabulous Las Vegas- (this is when you start bowing on the ground three times:) I AM NOT WORTHY. I AM NOT WORTHY. I AM NOT WORTHY." Or, you know, don't. Just don't blame me if the LV gods (TK) frown upon your disrespect.
Now, the guide itself includes three levels. The BASIC FAN level, which is for half-assed fans who have a life. Whatever, they'll have the cliché pictures, but they won't have the true experience. The next level is the LEGIT STAN level, which is awesome and allows you to pat yourself on the back because, congratulations, you are a TRUE Killers fan! Phew, you must be relieved. Finally, the third and final level is the CRAZY MOTHERFUCKER, which means you are at an epic level of creepiness and is, quite frankly, more shameful than anything. Look at your life, look at your choices.
-Visit the Sam's Town sign picture- "When you walk around Liverpool, you think of The Beatles, or you go to Manchester and you think of The Smiths or Oasis. I want you to come to Las Vegas and think of Sam's Town. And I think we've started to capture that, which is a truer version of The Killers, 'cause that's where we're from.... I used to live across the street from Sam's Town. Maybe it'll be like our Abbey Road where people go to take pictures.... I wouldn't mind it. [2006 when Sam's Town came out]--- [fyi, helpful tip from Telekon, mod at TKC: "You can get a free bus from Harrah's on the strip, it will take you to Sam's and when you have finished there you can get the free bus back to the strip."- they also added: "Billy Bobs steak house in Sam's is amazing."]
-Go to the Hard Rock Hotel and take a picture with the Bones skeletons [at the casino entrance of the cafe on Paradise Road]
sign at Hard Rock Café (*) - ["the one on the Strip, upstairs (entrance to the restaurant) and you'll immediately see the live Sam's Town tour sign on the wall" -nicolaflowersuk at TKC]
-(for BFlo's basic fans) visit Flamingo Hotel, because his album is named after it
-stare at and bask in the ~beautiful Las Vegas sunset~ that Brandon cries himself into a frenzy over in every. single. interview.
-Lyric connection- listen to certain songs while at certain places (a promenade for Jenny, a highway for WYWY, a place with strip club leaflets for WTFLV, a corner of a main street for RMM...)
-Drive in the LV desert with all of the windows open all the way, blasting WYWY/Crossfire/WTFLV/This River is Wild/Bling. Wearing cowboy hats would be a nice touch. Or fancy suits:
-Stand by the Welcome to Fabulous Las Vegas sign
-Go to Luv-It frozen custard, "the best frozen custard in Vegas"- and you must say all of these phrases on the way and when you get there: "Dude, we should get custard! Oh man, he's never had custard, for hell's sake!" -- (because of this famous '05 Spin article excerpt: "Flowers suggests dessert: "Dude, we should get custard!" "Custard," Vannucii seconds. "Do you like Custard?" Flowers asks me. "I've never had it." "Oh, man. He's never had custard, for hell's sake! We gotta go to Luv Its. It's the best frozen custard in Vegas." Our driver navigates down East Oakley Boulevard toward a wood-paneled shack almost hidden from the main drag. "I'm so happy! I can't believe we're here," Flowers says, smiling. So we're eating custard, eggy and rich...")//// ALSO again in August 2012, The Killers gave director Werner Herzog a tour of Las Vegas and along with taking him to eat tacos and drive around the Mojave, they brought him here. According to Ronnie Werner chose banana split flavor, and Ronnie got blueberry shake.
-Eat some deep-fried Twinkies at Mermaid's Casino. Brandon recommends it. [the whole interview excerpt from 2005, when the interviewer asked what he should do in Vegas: Ronnie: "Well, um, stay on the south end of the strip, which is where the newer hotels are. And you can eat really well for free if you wanted to. Have a good time. Spend some money. Eat well." Bandon: "The really big important thing is stay on the south end of the strip. That's the main thing." R: [laughs] "Well you've got old Vegas, where you can get deep-fried Twinkies y'know for a dollar..." Brandon: "Which ARE good!" Ronnie: [laughs] "..which are good."]
- Go to the buffet at the Mirage, because according to one of Brandon's quotes in an interview with Zane Lowe at T in the Park- "We've seen James, and Arcade Fire... it's better than a buffet at the Mirage!"
-Walk around Aladdin Hotel, where all of TK worked. Find the guy who works there, who told Brandon "good luck with your 80's thing" - laugh in his face; Before forming, all four Killers worked in the Aladdin Resort at the same time. They remember eyeballing each other but never spoke.
-Go inside Sam's Town- explore and watch the colorful fountain show
-Take a picture with a Sam's Town animatronic animal
-On Brandon's order, DON'T eat at a cheap hotel buffet. Or maybe go, to understand why he's so averse to it- "I had suggested we attempt gluttony at one of those cheap all-you-can-eat buffets that the casinos offer. Somewhere like Circus Circus. Plastic rolls. Frozen butter. Surf and turf in amber. "That means we'd have to, like, eat that stuff," Flowers had protested."
-Visit the Neon Boneyard- lots of Killers photoshoots have taken place there. It's also where ATTTID video was filmed. Also where this famous exchange happened- "Brandon Flowers, the Killers' enigmatic and svelte vocalist, is not a happy pop star. In a windy parking lot just outside Vegas' spooky Neon Graveyard, he's cold and he's tired and, much to his chagrin, guitarist Dave Keuning won't let him in his car. "Fucking asshole." "I'm out of here," Keuning tells him, which frankly does little to help his mood. "But I don't have a car," Flowers snaps back."
-Visit the Red Rock mountains that TK helped save from real estate development in Jan. '12
-Go to Henderson, drive around. idk wtf you should do there but you'll be in Henderson, haiii!
-Find the trailer park where ATTTID was shot (hint, it's apparently near the Stratosphere tower)
-Go to Little Chapel of the Flowers where Ronnie used to take pictures- tell owner Dave Foote that his hair isn't that cool- "The pressure led to a rift with Vannucci's boss, chapel owner Dave Foote. Or maybe it was just the hair. "He was my archenemy. He was a really bad dude," Vannucci says. "We were locked in a power struggle of cool. He thought he had much cooler hair, but he just had cooler hair."
-Go to Gold Coast Hotel where Brandon was a bellboy (Bell MAN, sorry (quote)). As the bellman to deliver condoms.- "I was working there when we were signed."
- Go to Binion's Horse Shoe Hotel & Casino and order grilled cheese and corn bread for $3.75 for lunch from the snack bar, and then go to the secret east wing downstairs to find the ultra secret poker place - "i meet up with vannucci at binion's horse shoe,a casino in fremont square,near old vegas.it's an unpretentious,middle class joint with loads of button down,seedy charm.built in the forties and greatly expanded since,it's one of the oldest remaining casinos in vegas,a stark contrast to posh mega dens like the bellagio.the decor is all about floral print carpet, cowboy memorablilia and pictures of famous poker players like red winn,puggy pearson and wild bill hickok. Vannucci grabs lunch at the snack bar,which serves specialties like hobo stew an ugly meat and potatoes mishmash to patrons seated at a long oak counter."I like this place because it's real old school,"vannucci says."my parents have been coming here forever.I just had a grilled cheese and corn bread for $3.75.that's a reasonable price,man." Growing up,vannucci was a binion's regular with his dad-a friends family used to own the place vannucci navigates like a tour guide."here i'll show you the really old part of this place,"he says,walking toward the original,unalterd portion of the hotel."not many people know about this."we climb up a hidden staircase in what's now the binion's east end,sparsely outfitted with rustic oak furnishing and tiny hallways.After passing through a couple of unmarked doors we're back downstairs,in front of the poker tables."for true poker players,thisis still the place,vannucci says "i have pictures of me as akid next to the million dollars in cash meant for tournament winners.but it's funny I don't even knwo how to play."
-Visit Beauty Bar, where Ryan Pardey (The Captain/Santa!) had worked for a long time and TK hung out a lot- "the killers have a post show party at beauty bar and want to steal a few precious moments at home." + In Mark's words, from 2005 Nylon mag: "
-Go to the Palms and try to find/get into (lol good luck) the fancy recording studio where Sam's Town was recorded. TK were the FIRST to record there, and since then about a million other legends have.
-Go to an Elton John show and pretend you are going to have dinner with him after like TK-
-Go to where Celine Dion's show is (obviously don't see it, duh. Although I won't disrespect you that much because this video is hilarious) and mourn the fact that it was in the place where Brandon's favorite movie theater was demolished. Although he did once say "the show's supposed to be spectacular."
-Los Tacos
-Sushi Roku- if you'll spot the boys (especially Brandon) anywhere, it's here- Even family man Brandon Flowers has to eat. Thus we have him being spotted enjoying lunch at Sushi Roku inside the Forum Shops at Caesars today with family in tow. Reportedly, the singer is a frequent visitor of the acclaimed restaurant.
-Visit the Hard Rock arena where Brandon saw Oasis and when he heard Don't Look Back in Anger, he decided to start a GUITAR rock band-
-Visit the shimmer room at the Hilton where TK performed, and Brandon got to use the same dressing room as Elvis. Maybe you can go into the dressing room? Doubt it...
-Visit Dior Homme at the Bellagio (?) because BFlo loves dat high fash
-visit Precious Slut, where Brandon got his ear pierced although it probably got new owners because that's a terrible name. If you're ever going to get anything pierced, maybe you should do it there- "I got my ear pierced there. It wasn't called Precious Slut then."
-visit Buffalo Exchange on Flamingo Road because that's where Brandon and Tana first met! Wear a neon pink coat and chat up a cute shy boy, you might just meet your future BFlo. "he met while shopping in a Vegas thrift store. She was wearing a bootleg Joy Division T-shirt with Mickey Mouse on it. She thought he was cute and they began dating the next day."
-Find a street sign for Flamingo Road because that's an ~ultra important road~ for bflo
-go to UNLV to the practice room where Ronnie used to sneak TK in the middle of the night- The band broke into the music room at the University of Nevada, Las Vegas, for late-night rehearsals. "If you pull on the doors hard enough, they just open," Vannucci confesses. "They make this big crack."
-Walk along the Truckee River. TK said it was their favorite thing to do in LV on their twitter Q&A with fans, 9/20/12-
-Go to the Stratosphere- "on the corner of main street"
-visit Chapalas, Brandon's favorite Mexican restaurant-
-order a huge steak and coke at the Palm in Cesars Palace.- IMitt Romney and Brandon Flowers had lunch at the Palm at The Forum Shops at Caesars Palace. This was reported elsewhere Wednesday morning and confirmed that afternoon by Jen Appel, PR rep for Flowers and The Killers. It was a private lunch, she said in an e-mail, so Flowers has nothing to say to the media about it. (From Feb '11) Maybe he personally asked Brandon to do that Mormon video? lol.
-Meet an Elvis Presley impersonator! -
Downtown - Fremont Street - the 4 Queens and the Sassy Sally sign (i think) is where they've done photo shoots outside of.... (make sure you're there at 8pm to catch the canopy shows, every 30mins)" - nicolaflowersuk at TKC
asked the band why they named their album after the Sam's Town casino, and what would one expect if they were to visit there. Their reply "A great bowling alley," Flowers said. "It's got nothing on the Belaggio, but I used to work across from Sam's Town and live across from Sam's Town, and you just have to see this place."
-The Crown & Anchor pub, where Brandon got his girlfriend cheating on him- which he based Mr Brightside on. http://www.yelp.com/biz/crown-and-anchor-british-pub-las-vegas
"I was asleep and I knew something was wrong. I have these instincts. I went to the Crown and Anchor and my girlfriend was there with another guy."
When I was younger I grew up in a place called Henderson and there were no freeways to get to Las Vegas from Henderson. You basically had to come down this highway called Boulder Highway - that was how you got to Arizona; that was how you progressed away from Las Vegas. So to get to Las Vegas, that was also the same Boulder Highway. Now it's grown so much and there are freeways all over the place connecting you. Whenever we would go to Las Vegas it was very exciting, even though we were almost in Las Vegas - you could see it if you're high enough in Henderson. It was still an exciting thing because you'd have family in town and you would probably be going to the Mirage (hotel), or if your mum was going shopping, the movies - anything like that; that all existed in Las Vegas. So the only way to get there was down Boulder Highway, and you could see Sam's Town on the right - that always solidified it for me that we were actually getting somewhere because you were then in Las Vegas when you got to Sam's Town. It's this local place that's western-themed. So anyway, for me, that's what this album feels like; we're getting somewhere exciting now. We've started something with "Hot Fuss" but now we're moving on down the road."
Night: I like playing penny slots, which is probably a Las Vegas thing. There are lots of small casinos around which we go to.
"A club will open up and close just as quickly because it doesn't have the funding. You've got to remember, places like the House of Blues and the joint at the Hard Rock are funded by the hotel and casino industries, so even when there aren't any shows, they can still stay afloat. It doesn't work that way with other clubs, so a lot of them only last for a few months--and the bands seem to follow that same trend. Everybody gives it a good six months or so and then quits because nothing's happening for them. It's kind of sad, because I know of some great musicians and good songwriters there. But nothing's really come out of Vegas to put the place on the map."
-Visit the location where the Spaceman video was shot- "1501 Nevada Highway in Boulder City, NV 89005 is where they shot the video for Spaceman. You can go see the old hangar where we all ate and the wardrobe was, and pretend like b-flow and his family are still sitting in the trailer out back! They filmed it right next to my house and I was in the video is why I know this." - luchadorman at TKC
But he was fascinated with old-school Las Vegas - 'with Frank Sinatra and the glamour and having a Cadillac'
-get a salad with some mysterious special dressing, pizza, and nuclear fries at Metro Pizza- "This place has the best salad dressing ever," says Flowers. "I don't know what they put in it," We're at Metro Pizza on East Tropicana Avenue. Dean Martin and Frank Sinatra hits play on the P.A., as they do everywhere in this town."Try these nuclear fries," he demands. "Nuclear" fries, by the way, are irradiated with the same spicy red pepper that covers the chicken fingers, which come next. Then there are individual pizzas, chicken parmigiana, bread, pasta. We may have hit the carb jackpot, but it doesn't feel particularly sinful.
-Visit the Liberace museum on Tropicana, look at the Rolls-Royce, Lasagna suit, grand piano, prayer room (OBV READ IT BC BRANDON DID), and then go to the gift shop, try on a sequin jacket, and make a Zoolander face-- I should probably mention that we're staring at our fragmented reflections in Liberace's mirror-covered 1962 Phantom Five Rolls-Royce while pondering envy. We've visited the Liberace Museum on Tropicana to see if there's anything to covet. There is much. "He was the first. Before Elton John. Before Björk," Flowers says. "I first came here when I was five." We pass the "Lasagna Suit," a red-and-gold ensemble in which the maestro used to cook. "I need to see the grand piano," Flowers announces... We find the Baldwin grand mounted on a riser in the middle of the main floor. Seven feet long and covered with Austrian rhinestones, it's the centerpiece of the entire exhibit. "Are you feeling envious?" I prod. Flowers nods and laughs. There are signs that politely ask visitors to refrain from touching anything, even though almost everything here, especially the keys on the famous instrument, beckons to be tinkled...The re-creation of Liberace's prayer room is preserved behind glass in the hallway that leads to the master bedroom. It's gilded but somehow less ostentatious than the rest of the collection. A Bible is permanently open to Proverbs. Flowers leans in and reads, "Better is the poor man walking in his simplicity than in his rich and crooked ways." He shakes his head. "Liberace had his lover surgically altered to look like him." He'll repeat this three times as we move toward the café and gift shop. "That's bad, when you wanna have sex with yourself." There's little envy for the extremity of Liberace's conflicted psyche: the piety versus the screaming ego. Safe from such choices for now, Flowers browses the gift shop. He tries on a sequined vest, making a Zoolander face, but decides not to purchase it.
-steal a cup from Spago. It won't be Morissey's, but close enough. Also Brandon frequents that place a lot. But it's expensive as hell! - Brandon Flowers of The Killers, spotted at Spago (Forum Shops at Caesars) on Sunday.
-Find the Banana Republic where Dave worked when TK started (Probably Forum Shops, but not a sure thing.)- It was just a shitty job. I was always in back folding clothes. I always dreamt about getting out of there. The only good part was listening to music back there. Radio, CDs, I made my own mix tapes with The Cure, Elton John and so on, to keep my mood up. One day my manager came and wouldnt allow me to listen to music in the back anymore. After 1 1/2 years. I wanted to kill him." and ""I'm the only guy that works in my store who's ventured into the dressing room with a client on more than one occasion."
-Find the hospital where Mark delivered blood
-go to sam boyd race track
-Go to Chaparrall high school where Brandon went.
-Clark High School (where Ronnie originally went) and Western High School (where he moved)
-Skyline restaurant ["I eat in a restaurant called the Skyline hotel and casino"- Brandon]
-Horizon Street- where Brandon grew up [ "I grew up on a street called Horizon"]
-go to the Cosmpolitan because Brandon performed there once and it's new and stuff. ["The Comso hotel, just in its main entrance is the Chandelier where Brandon performed on its opening. (check out on line who's playing at the Book and Stage at the Cosmo, theres some great bands play there and the shows are free.)" -nicolaflowersuk at TKC]
-order raspberry mojitos at L'Atelier at the MGM- the killers aren't completely averse to the occaional hot spot like L'Atelier,where keuning takes me just before saturday nights gig.It's a pricey french resturant inside the MGM Grand with crushed velvet chairs and candlelit tables.Keuning discovered the place while milling around before a rolling stones show at the MGM.he keeps coming back because it has,he says,"the worlds best mojitos."we order raspberry versions and kick back.
-Visit The Joint because the Killers christianed it
-find Joseph the tailor! "Earlier, I met with my tailor here, Joseph, for about an hour. People in Las Vegas can't really get their heads around how tight I want something to be— it blows their minds. But Joseph, he understands me."
-do a photoshoot an hour from LV in the desert sun-
-visit Anthropology- supposedly Tana shops there! If you wanna get ur own bflo you better get to dressing the part, mmkay.
- Del Frisco's Double Eagle Steak House- Brandon Flowers from The Killers enjoyed a quiet dinner with his wife at Del Frisco's Double Eagle Steak House in his hometown of Las Vegas
-Visit treasure Island hotel- BFlo's dad was a bellman there
-As well as a desert bighorn sheep - the Nevada state animal
-find "the thai place" near Dave's house- I don't really leave my house too much though, I go to the Thai place down the street then go back to my house. That's it.
-wake up and immediately read USA Today and listen to Nick Cave if you want to be like BFlo a la 2005- Morning: I start the day with USA Today, my favourite newspaper. It's got it all covered. There's the serious news, which is usually bad, then there's the fun movie star stuff which lightens it up. I'll also stick on a CD. Nick Cave's last single, There She Goes, My Beautiful World, knocked me off my feet. It's so good - it's like Elvis-style gospel.
Early gigs : The Junkyard (8x), Three Angry Wives Pub (2x), Huntridge Tavern (2x), The Huntridge Theatre (They opened for the Libertines here in Aug. 1, 2003!), Crown & Anchor Pub (2x), Money Plays (1x), House of Blues.
-Pure Nightclub
-go to the Ice House lounge where tk played before they were famous. it's closed now, but there must be something new there now, no? http://www.yelp.com/biz/icehouse-lounge-las-vegas
-watch a Le Rêve show at the Wynn, where Only the Young video was filmed
-go to the golf course where Brandon used to play and work- Stallion Mountain golf course. -""If I had to go back to one of my old jobs it would be working at Stallion Mountain golf course in Nevada," he says, laughing. "You do pretty well out of the tips and, also, you get to play golf for free."
-Celebrity club, where they performed- It's a Wednesday night in late August with the Las Vegas heat pushing 100 degrees, and we're backstage at Celebrity, a mid-size club miles from the Strip. Brandon Flowers, the Killers' baby-faced lead singer, is nervous. The Killers are about to play their first show since February,
-random 24 hour diners- They love the unnatural scenery too, especially the city's lesser-known [?] twenty-four-hour diners, the places [with?] more than a touch of Old Vegas.
-We're sitting in Trattoria del Lupo, a swank restaurant in the Mandalay Bay, the tropical-themed hotel and casino on the Vegas Strip. [where the interview for Spin's '7 deadly sins' cover story early 2005
-go to an Urban Outfitters at some mall (?) because Tana used to work there- Flower's fiancée, a wholesome-looking blonde named Tana, works at Urban Outfitters in the nearby mall. We duck in to say hello and show off his new $75 do.
-Mandalay Bay lobby Macaws - "This feels a bit like Bon Jovi revisiting the old neighborhood in New Jersey," Vannucci quips. It's early afternoon. We have convened in the Mandalay Bay lobby in front of the caged macaws wheezing from secondhand smoke, and are piling into the back of a black limo. (Spin feb 05)
-limo tour- "The Hilton sign is the city's biggest free-standing sign. One day it fell down. That's the motel where they traced Mohammed Atta's credit card," Vannucci says as we cruise downtown. "They'd been staying there, planning 9/11. That's where the guy from Suddenly Susan hung himself. That's where we played a gig once. A guy got shot there.""That strip club has men and women," Flowers chimes in. Then he points to a tattoo parlor. "I got my ear pierced there. It wasn't called Precious Slut then."
-Get haircuts at the Mandalay Bay like Brandon and Ronnie- haircuts at the Mandalay Bay's posh salon. I'm a little surprised when I make the reservation and the receptionist says, "Oh, Brandon. He's been here before." (Brandon's cut was $75). [BTW Brandon still goes here regularly to get haircuts as of 9/25/12- according to his interview with KROQ's Kevin & Bean show]
-Go to "Kiehl's Since 1851" body moisturizer-and-such shop at the Forum because apparently Brandon was spotted there, according to the Forum's official Facebook page.
-go to the Fleur de lys lounge- We wander instead to the Fleur De Lys lounge, a candlelit bar with velvet curtains and soft couches festooned with the kind of bead-stuffed pillows that rave kids used to fondle. They certainly invite sloth. We stretch out. Smoke. Drink.
[FYI, this guide is also partially on Yelp. I'll add all of the sites to it eventually]

HORNBY OO Gauge 2012 PLANK wagon R6604 CHRISTMASMelting glaciers, rising sea levels, extinction of species, stronger and more frequent weather extremes – these are just some of the many consequences of climate change. Those who have contributed the least are particularly hard hit: people in the Global South are already losing their homes because of the climate crisis. The climate crisis is intensifying the existing injustices worldwide. With such prospects for the future, it should go without saying that the effects of climate change should be kept to a minimum. But the reality in politics looks different: The climate protection measures adopted there, are no more than window dressing.
The coal phase-out is the fastest immediate measure for climate protection. But politics is failing again and that is why we act! In June we will block coal infrastructure in the Rhineland and take the coal phase-out into our own hands!Dinky toys france. citroen id 19 break. + box. ref 539.
We can't tackle climate change or ensure global social justice without moving away from capitalism fuelled by fossil fuels. Deep socio-economic changes are needed to enable everyone to lead a good life.
Together we fight for climate justice! We will not allow the climate to heat up any further, islands to sink into the sea and more villages to be dredged for the dirty brown coal.
All villages stay – in the Rhineland and worldwide.!Ready Made Trains Bakers Chocolate Covered Hopper 2-Car Set
The time to act is now! From 19 to 24 June we will fight destruction and block the coal infrastrcture in the Rhineland in a mass action of civil disobedience. Coal exit is still manual work: let's go – Ende Gelände!

|Docket No: ER03-563-055
Chairman Joseph T. Kelliher's statement on Devon Power LLC, et al.
"New England is facing the prospect of an electricity supply problem, maybe not today, maybe not this summer, but soon. This is not a matter in dispute.
At oral argument held in this proceeding last September, the nature of the problem facing New England became apparent. Demand for electricity in the region was growing, supply was not increasing to meet demand, and the region was facing the prospect of real supply shortages and very high prices. There was consensus around these basic facts, although there were disagreements about how soon supply shortages and high prices might be realized. There is little doubt that New England is not adding sufficient electricity supply. In fact, last year New England added a total of 11 megawatts to its regional electricity supply. At the same time, peak demand rose by 2,700 megawatts.
The Commission held oral argument on the ISO New England's location installed capacity mechanism proposal (LICAP) in large part because the region was concerned it was being denied an opportunity to propose a workable alternative. There was sufficient consensus that the Commission urged the parties to engage in settlement discussions around an alternative to the ISO New England LICAP proposal. We authorized settlement discussions and appointed a settlement judge.
These discussions were productive, and resulted in the settlement before us today.
The great majority of the parties settled. They realized that it was better for the region to propose a regional solution to this serious problem facing New England. They negotiated in good faith on a series of difficult issues. They acted responsibly. They also trusted that the Commission would give the views of the region appropriate deference. I want to commend the settling parties for working collaboratively to reach this settlement.
There were some significant nonsettling parties. I will not criticize the nonsettling parties, some of them played responsible roles in the proceeding, particularly Maine.
We find the settlement is just and reasonable, and will serve to assure adequate electricity supply and just and reasonable wholesale power prices in New England. Specifically, we find the settlement meets the standard of review under Trailblazer.
Our decision today is not without controversy, and I am sure it will be criticized by some in the region. In the end, I would prefer to be criticized for acting to prevent a crisis, a crisis that New England knows is coming, than be criticized for failing to act responsibly."

Nov 23, 2001
SEATTLE (AP) - Santa Clara's Kayla Huss scored 10 points and pulled down seven rebounds in leading the Broncos to an 80-52 victory over the Princeton Tigers in the opening game of The Seattle Times Husky Classic on Friday night.
Huss was among four Santa Clara players to post double-digit scoring. Their shooting helped the Broncos advance to the tournament championship game on Saturday night against the winner of Friday night's game between Northeastern and tournament host Washington.
Santa Clara (2-1) used a balanced scoring attack that moved it out to an early lead that was never threatened. In the second half, Princeton never got closer than 13 points.
Princeton (2-1) suffered its first loss of the season. The Tigers had won their first two games of the campaign to match their win total from the 2000-01 season when they finished 2-25.
Huss, Kendra Rhea, Kim Butler and Jennie Rondel each scored 10 for the Broncos.
Princeton's Lauren Rigney led all scorers with 20 and was its only player to reach double figures.
Eight minutes into the game, the Broncos led 17-5 after Huss made consecutive 3-pointers to cap a 10-0 run. Santa Clara continued to roll for the remainder of the half.
Princeton dug itself an early hole with poor shooting. The Tigers failed to make a field goal on consecutive possessions in the first half in which they shot only 7 of 29 from the floor. Santa Clara led 45-25 at halftime.
