Family Members of Victims in Jenni Rivera Crash Sue Singer's Company
The family members of passengers killed when a plane carrying Mexican singer Jenni Rivera crashed in Mexico last month have filed a lawsuit against the superstar's company.
The civil lawsuit, which claims the singer was negligent when she hired a faulty Learjet 25, was filed in a Los Angeles court and seeks unspecified financial compensation from Jenni Rivera Enterprises. The suit says Rivera picked the aircraft owned by Las Vegas-based Starwood Management and should have known the state of the plane and the pilots' status.
"There are a lot of doubts about why Jenni Rivera chose that aerial clunker," said attorney Vance Owen, of Kiel & Larson, who represents the plaintiffs.
Rivera's publicist, Arturo Rivera, her makeup artist, Jacob Yebale, her stylist, Jorge Sanchez, her lawyer, Mario Macias, and the two pilots were among the seven people killed when the aircraft crashed Dec. 9 in northern Mexico.
Authorities have not determined what caused the plane to plunge, killing all onboard.
Jenni Rivera Enterprises collects royalties and copyright payments for Rivera, 43, and it manages the singer's other businesses and assets.
Rivera, known as "La Diva de la Banda," was at the peak of her career as perhaps the most successful female singer in grupero, a male-dominated regional style influenced by the norteño, cumbia and ranchero styles. She was widely popular in Mexico.
The Encino-based company was taken over by Rivera's sister, Rosy Rivera, according to their brother, Pedro Rivera.
Pedro Rivera didn't return a message requesting comment Thursday.
The lawsuit also accuses three other companies that own or once owned the Learjet 25 of negligence, alleging they knew or should have known the plane was not safe to fly and it was "likely to injure or kill any person or persons who used it." It also alleges negligence by 100 unidentified people who took part in the plane's design, testing, sale, maintenance, repairs and checks.
The companies are Starwood Management, which owned the aircraft, Rodartz Financial Group Inc., which owns Starwood, and McOco Inc., which owned the plane for two decades before Starwood bought it.
The lawsuit also alleges the three companies and the unidentified people knew that the pilot and co-pilot did not have the necessary training and were not apt to safely fly the plane.
According to the National Transportation Safety Board, the same plane was substantially damaged in a 2005 landing mishap at Amarillo International Airport in Texas. It hit a runway distance marker after losing directional control. There were four aboard but no injuries. It was registered to a company in Houston, Texas, as the time.
Starwood has been the subject of a lawsuit and investigations, though none so far have centered on the plane that carried Rivera. Another of its planes was seized in September by the U.S. Drug Enforcement Administration in McAllen, Texas.

UC Davis stem cell researcher Paul Knoepfler has added a unique honor to his curriculum vitae: He is among the winners of the California Institute for Regenerative Medicine's (CIRM) first-ever Elevator Pitch Challenge, which were announced today.
The state stem cell agency's idea was to have scientists try to explain in about 30 seconds or less — the time it takes an elevator to go a few floors — what they do, why it's important and why the public should care. To make it doubly difficult, the researchers were told they couldn't use any scientific jargon.
Knoepfler, an associate professor of cell biology and human anatomy, placed third among lead scientists (those scientists who have their own labs or have been doing research for quite some time) who participated in the contest. His elevator pitch can be seen here.
CIRM's goal with its Elevator Pitch Challenge is to help researchers do a better job of communicating about the promise of regenerative medicine with the public. It invited any researcher who has received funding from the agency to prepare a quick pitch, making sure it was short, simple and easy to understand. The winners are role models in how the complexities of stem cell research can be made more accessible and understandable to non-scientists.
Knoepfler, whose CIRM-funded research explores how the biological behavior of stem and cancer cells is controlled, was among the 57 entrants from 18 different institutions who submitted videos. All of the entries are available on the CIRM website. And like the elevator pitch itself, the prize for the top winner in each of three categories had to be simple and easy-to-use: a $50 gift card.

The Koch-funded Americans for Prosperity is warning Congress against spending money on Hurricane Sandy relief efforts.
Earlier this week, AFP, which is chaired by [David] Koch and believed to be financed by several other plutocrats from the New York City region, released a letter warning members of Congress not to vote for the proposed federal aid package for victims of the storm that swept New Jersey, New York City and much of the surrounding area in October. An announcement on the group's website says that the vote next week for the Sandy aid package will be a "key vote"—meaning senators who support sending money for reconstruction could face an avalanche of attack ads in their next election. Already, opposition to the bill is growing, although it passed one procedural hurdle last night. …
… Koch's top deputy in New Jersey, a surly gentleman named Steve Lonegan, who heads the local AFP state chapter, called the aid package a "disgrace." "This is not a federal government responsibility," Lonegan told reporters. "We need to suck it up and be responsible for taking care of ourselves."
As was asked in a famous joke — Who do you mean by "we," Kemo Sabe? This is especially rich considering all the Koch Brothers/oil industry money that has gone into discrediting climate science. The AFP website, btw, is screaming about the looming "fiscal cliff" tax increase that would, if Dems get their way, only affect the upper 2 percent.

Though best-known as a contemporary jazz performer, trumpeter Chris Botti made his initial splash on the pop music scene.
In the studio and on stage, Chris Botti has worked with such leading singer-songwriter/composers as Paul Simon, Joni Mitchell, Sting and film composer John Barry. Inspired by the sounds and atmosphere of Italy, Chris Botti's new release is called "Italia". The songs on Italia are drawn from sources ranging from classical opera to the soundtracks of Ennio Morricone.Botti is a native of Oregon who was born in Portland, raised in Corvallis, and spent two years of his childhood growing up in Italy. His earliest musical influence was his mother, a classically trained pianist and part-time piano teacher. He began playing trumpet at age 9 and, after hearing a recording of Miles Davis playing "My Funny Valentine," realized the instrument was his key to "doing something meaningful with my life."
He pursued his music studies with a succession of teachers including Professor Bill Adam and Dave Baker in Indiana, and--following a move to New York City in 1986--the late trumpet master Woody Shaw.

- What the rotation at LB and DB will be. With the issues in the defensive backfield, especially for the first two (and maybe longer) games, how will Grantham work in the LBs and those guys that can take a couple of steps back into safety or other nickel back types of schemes.
- What running back or backs will stand out in protecting the QBs? The one sure advantage Crowell has over any other running back vying for the staring job is a full year hearing about how his blocking has to improve. Will it?
- Will any receiver impress? This kind of ties into number 1 in that Mitchell's utilization on defense is likely to take something away from his duties at WR. Will we see any combination of Conley, Scott-Wesley, or Wyatt really step up? Same goes for watching Rome and Artie Lynch at TE.
I'm making no prediction on the offense vs. defense or anything like that. If GDay has taught us anything, don't expect a whole lot of slinging it up and down the field. For that matter, just keeping the defense from metaphorically killing the QB with the new look offensive line will be a surprise now that I think about it.
Hope to see you there Saturday.

I watched the film during the market mania and thought it was, at the very least, thought-provoking (to this Boomer, anyway) and probably very appealing to the current generation. Do I agree with the subject of remixing and its legal implications. Not particularly. But I think it does and will cause attention to be paid and some lively discussions to happen. And that's not a bad thing.
Randy and I enjoyed dinner together with four others during NMM. It was indeed a fun evening and I, too, encourage him to contribute more to our list!

>> Would their incorporation into OpenSourceWare to illustrate the issues
>> they were intended to illustrate, constitute a transformative use?
>> Finally, the code permits "explanatory" use of copyrighted material if
>> it "furthers understanding by demonstrating or illustrating a process,
>> procedure or arrangement" and if there is no "readily available
>> substitute." But the intended use of many instructional materials is to
>> do precisely that - from how to rewind a firehose to how the profit

NL Capsules
CHICAGO (AP) — Patrick Corbin became the major leagues' first nine-game winner, laboring through six inning Sunday in the Arizona Diamondbacks' 8-4 win over the Chicago Cubs on Sunday.
Corbin (9-0) allowed four runs and six hits, tying the team record for consecutive wins at the start of the season, set by Brandon Webb in 2008. The Diamondbacks are 11-0 in his starts.
He hit two batters and walked two in a 33-pitch first inning, when he walked Dioner Navarro with the bases loaded. Corbin minimized the damaged by retiring Cody Ransom on an inning-ending flyout to the warning track in center.
Brad Ziegler, David Hernandez and Heath Bell combined for hitless relief.
Edwin Jackson (1-8) gave up seven runs — five earned — a season-high 12 hits, three walks and four wild pitches in 5 2-3 innings.
Wil Nieves had three hits and two RBIs for Arizona.
Braves 6, Nationals 3
ATLANTA (AP) — B.J. Upton and Ramiro Pena hit home runs and Paul Maholm won his third straight decision.
The Braves won two of three from the Nationals and lead Washington by 6.5 games — the biggest advantage for any first-place team in the majors.
The Nationals (28-29) fell below .500 for the first time since they were 13-14 on April 30. The Braves are 7-3 against Washington this season.
Ian Desmond hit a homer for Washington in the sixth inning to cut Atlanta's lead to 4-3. Freddie Freeman answered with a bases-loaded, two-run double in the bottom of the inning.
Paul Maholm (7-4) allowed three runs, two earned, on five hits in six innings. Craig Kimbrel pitched a perfect ninth for his 17th save.
Washington rookie Nathan Karns (0-1) gave up four runs, three earned, on seven hits in 4 2-3 innings. Karns allowed two homers. He has given up four homers in his two starts.
DENVER (AP) — Dexter Fowler hit two homers off fill-in starter Matt Magill and Jorge De La Rosa pitched seven effective innings.
It was the second multihomer game of the season for Fowler. Todd Helton and Michael Cuddyer added solo homers as the Rockies took two of three from Los Angeles.
De La Rosa (7-3) struggled early, but settled down as he allowed six hits and struck out five for his first career win against Los Angeles. He was 0-8 entering the game.
Magill (0-1) was recalled from Triple-A Albuquerque to step in for lefty Hyun-Jin Ryu, who was a late scratch with a bruised left foot. Magill had a forgettable outing, giving up seven runs — six earned — in six innings. He also allowed four homers and walked nine, before being pulled for a pinch hitter after throwing 110 pitches.
PIRATES 5, REDS 4, 11 innings
PITTSBURGH (AP) — Travis Snider hit an RBI single with two outs in the 11th inning.
Five Pittsburgh relievers combined for 10 scoreless innings. Starter Jeanmar Gomez was removed with tightness in his right forearm after giving up four runs in the first.
Reds shortstop Zack Cozart made a throwing error on Russell Martin's one-out grounder in the 11th. After Pedro Alvarez walked, Jordy Mercer flied out before Snider then dropped a single into right-center off Alfredo Simon (4-2).
Garrett Jones tied the game for Pittsburgh with a long two-run homer with two outs in the eighth. Jones' drive off Jonathan Broxton cleared the right-field stands, reached the Allegheny River on the fly and was estimated at 463 feet.
It was just the second homer to make it into the river without bouncing and the first by a Pirates' hitter. Daryle Ward hit the first on July 6, 2002, while playing for Houston.
Justin Wilson (5-0) pitched two innings for the win.
ST. LOUIS (AP) — Chad Gaudin picked up a win in his first start in over three years and Brandon Belt broke a tie with a two-run pinch-hit double to help end San Francisco seven-game road losing streak.
Gaudin (1-1) went six innings in his first start since Sept. 28, 2009 as a member of the New York Yankees. He allowed four hits and two runs, both coming on a two-run homer by David Freese in the fourth. Gaudin is temporarily replacing Ryan Vogelsong in the rotation. Vogelsong broke several bones in his right hand May 20.
Pinch-hitter Belt slammed the first pitch from reliever Randy Choate into the gap in left-center to bring in Brandon Crawford and Gregor Blanco for a 4-2 lead in the seventh inning. Crawford began the rally with a single off St. Louis rookie Tyler Lyons (2-1).
Buster Posey, who entered the game in a 2 for20 skid, had four hits for the Giants.
PHILADELPHIA (AP) — Domonic Brown homered, tripled and drove in four runs to back up the effective pitching of Cliff Lee.
Brown also singled and had a chance for the cycle when he came up in the seventh, but walked. He had three homers and eight RBIs against the Brewers in the weekend series.
Freddy Galvis went 2-for-4 with a triple and an RBI and Jimmy Rollins doubled and had two hits for the Phillies, who snapped a three-game losing streak and improved to 19-6 when scoring more than three runs.
Cliff Lee (7-2) was practically unhittable through seven innings, allowing three hits with 11 strikeouts and no walks before running into trouble in the eighth when the Brewers scored four runs. Lee got two outs in the eighth before he was pulled. He gave up three runs and seven hits total.
Jonathan Lucroy hit a three-run triple and Jeff Bianchi went 2-for-4 with an RBI for the Brewers.
Antonio Bastardo earned his first save in three chances with a shaky ninth. Bianchi's RBI single pulled Milwaukee with two runs, and the Brewers had the bases loaded with two outs. But Bastardo got pinch-hitter Martin Maldonado to fly out to center to end the game.
MIAMI (AP) — Marcell Ozuna drove in four runs and Greg Dobbs hit a three-run homer to help the Miami Marlins complete a three-game sweep over New York.
Ed Lucas and Chris Coghlan each had four hits and two RBIs for the Marlins, who tied a season-high with 16 hits and swept the Mets in Miami for the first time since May 28-30, 2004.
It was the first sweep for Miami since taking three from Philadelphia from June 29-July 1, 2012.
Ike Davis homered and drove in three runs, and Lucas Duda and Omar Quintanilla also hit homers for New York, which came to Miami on a five-game winning streak including a four-game sweep over the Yankees.
Mets starter Matt Harvey had a 1.85 ERA coming into the game, but battled through five innings allowing season-highs in hits (10) and runs (four) in his shortest start of the season. He walked five and struck out two.
Still, Harvey left the game with a 6-4 lead and was relieved by Scott Rice (3-4), who issued three consecutive walks with one out in the sixth.
SAN DIEGO (AP) — Mark DeRosa hit a go-ahead homer into the second deck in left field leading off the 11th inning and Toronto beat San Diego to avoid a three-game sweep.
It was the second extra-inning game of the series. The Padres won Friday night's game 4-3 in 17 innings.
Blue Jays starter Ramon Ortiz left in the third inning after appearing to hurt his right elbow.
DeRosa drove a 3-1 pitch from Brad Boxberger (0-1) an estimated 428 feet, his fourth.
It was the first of five straight hits opening the three-run inning. The Blue Jays' second run that inning came in on third baseman Chase Headley's throwing error and Jose Bautista hit an RBI double.
Casey Janssen (1-0) pitched the 10th for the win. Aaron Loup pitched the 11th for his second save.

Hi all,
Been investigating Shinn for my next board and thanks all for the great posts and info about Shinn on this forum.
Am seeking advice which board to choose from: Dundee or Monk 2012.
I am an intermediate kiter, not looking to do kiteloops or unhooked jumps, but do like jumps and tricks (backrolls, slides etc). I weigh 90kg, length 1.87m.
Am leaning towards Dundee, as it's a true freeride board. Size 135x44, or do you reckon the 133x42 is perhaps better for me...? Am I limiting myself too much with the Dundee and thus should pick the Monk since it's the x-over?
Before ordering I would love to hear from you all who have ridden these boards. I live in Netherlands and can't test them, but the reviews here on this forum have convinced me Shinn is the brand I want.
Cheers and thanks in advance..!

Ballot debacle puts registrars in unaccustomed spotlight
Quick -- can you name your town's two registrars of voters? Can you name one of them?
It's a job for which there are no required qualifications, it seems, except party loyalty. Most times, they toil away in relative obscurity. Often part-timers, they see their work hours spike when an election cycle rolls around.
But the ballot boondoggle in Bridgeport has put the office under the glare of the spotlight. The failure of the city's registrars to order enough ballots led to long lines of voters and delays in vote-counting that threw the governor's race into turmoil.
Technically, voters in a municipality elect two registrars, one for the Democrats, one for the Republicans. They generally run unopposed, however, and all they need is one vote to win an election.
"At one time, it was considered a political plum," said Roger Autori, the Republican registrar in Fairfield, who took office in November of 2007. Prior to that, he said, he'd worked in the registrar's office as deputy registrar and election moderator.
"The party is the entity that picks the registrars," he said, acknowledging that "it's not like you have to earn your spurs." Sometimes, you may have a fight within a party caucus, but a primary for the seat seems to be unheard of, at least until this year, when there were three.
In Bridgeport, ground zero for this past election, the registrar is a full-time position, the annual pay is $63,714 and is slated to increase next year to $66,274. Bridgeport is one those few municipalities that has seen a primary for the registrar's seat. Democratic Registrar Santa Ayala won a primary against Lisa Parziale. Political insiders said Ayala got the party chairman's nod because the chairman was mad at Parziale.
Website comments have abounded since the word of the ballot shortage hit, with many calling for Ayala to be fired, perhaps not realizing she'd just won another term in that very same election.
Both she and her Republican counterpart Joseph Borges were responsible for making sure they had enough ballots on hand for city residents, and both have admitted that.
In Fairfield, Autori and his Democratic counterpart, Matthew Waggner, work part time and each earns $32,225. They receive no benefits. Waggner stepped into the job last year when the former registrar resigned. Before that, he'd been given the "Young Turk" award from the local town committee.
The position is part-time in Trumbull as well. Republican Registrar William Holden has served in that capacity since 1995. "You've got to solicit support from your party and town committee members," he said, to secure the nomination. If you do that, and there's no primary, you're on the ballot and in the job, Holden said.
Don't, however, make the mistake of calling Holden a party hack. If he were, Holden said, he'd never be in the position to answer the questions about the myriad rules governing elections in the Connecticut that he fields not only from his fellow party members, but Democrats as well. "I'm not saying I'm not partisan, but when I'm doing my job, I'm not," Holden said.
In Trumbull, he and Democrat Jane Aiello are paid $8,000 a year.
Nancy DiNardo is not only the head of the Democratic Party for the state, but also for her hometown of Trumbull. She said at one time the notion of the job as a perk for party supporters was true "and maybe still is true in some towns or cities."
"I know there have been primaries for the seat as the responsibilities have become greater," DiNardo said. "People have started to look for people who understand that, and are willing to put in the time for small pay."
It helps, Autori said, to have someone who has some experience with the election process.
The election calendar on the secretary of the state's website is 27 pages long, and details the responsibilities of registrars, town clerks, town committees, moderators and the candidates, as well the deadlines involved. Among the registrars' duties are maintaining enrollment lists and inactive lists, and conducting an annual voter canvass, either in person, by mail or via the phone. They also need to round up enough poll workers for elections and primaries.
Alice Fortunato, the Democratic registrar is Stamford, said she understands the calls for Ayala's resignation. "I think rightly so. You don't do your job," she said.
She said the mess in Bridgeport was a terrible mistake. "I can't imagine what the feeling is in Bridgeport because it's caused nothing but chaos in this election," Fortunato said. "The secretary of the state's office is clear on what they expect us to do," she said. "That's totally the responsibility of the registrars. They know how many voters they have."
Bridgeport wasn't the only place that came up short. Polling places in 10-12 municipalities, including Derby, Oxford and New Milford, also ran out of ballots. In Norwalk, Democratic Registrar Stuart Wells said his Bridgeport counterparts should have been prepared in light of the visit from President Barack Obama.
Holden said registrars face a balancing act with the new scanners to order enough ballots but not too many. "What we do in Trumbull is look at past elections of the same type and see what kind of percentage turnout there was," he said, "and you have to try and gauge how much public interest there is in the election."
Order way too many, he said, and you're wasting money and paper.
They need to be mindful of the dollars, Autori said, while still making sure they're prepared. In some towns, he said, they're considered a "second-class" department as far as budgeting goes. In fact, he said, there's a registrar's office that operates out of a large closet.
In Fairfield, Autori said based on previous elections and accounting for spoiled ballots they placed an order based on an 80 percent turnout -- at least a 66 percent turnout plus some. Their turnout was about 62 percent. "Considering the Senate and congressional races we thought it would be a pretty hot election," he said, "but we had less."
He said he doesn't know anyone registrar that would order for a 100 percent election turnout. "You never get that," Autori said.
Should the job change from elected to hired? Most don't think that's feasible. Too much down time when there isn't an election, Holden said.
"I would never say never," DiNardo said, "but I can't envision it happening. They're the representatives of the party."

Many of our friends tell us how meaningful it is to them to be able to support our work with their financial gifts each year—and say that they wish their support could continue beyond their lifetimes so the targets of their generosity will not be negatively affected when their annual contributions end.
You may find yourself in a similar situation. And, like our other friends, you may be pleasantly surprised to know that there is a way to continue your current level of support in a way that outlives you: you can create an endowment to provide perpetual annual support for purposes near and dear to your heart.
Here is how endowments work: First, you need to decide the level of annual support you would like to see continue in perpetuity. Once that decision is made, you can determine the amount that will be necessary to provide annual funding—generally about 25 times the amount of your current annual gift. That is the approximate amount needed to be set aside and invested in your endowment in order to generate your target annual distributions and to provide enough for the endowment to grow so that distributions keep up with inflation.
Some of our friends decide they want to fund an endowment currently. By doing so, they may be able to secure significant income-tax savings from the deductions that their lifetime giving generates. Others find it more feasible to fund an endowment through a provision in a will or trust or through a beneficiary designation of an insurance policy or retirement plan.
NOTE: Funding an endowment with proceeds of an individual retirement account (IRA) or other qualified retirement plan and leaving other assets to noncharitable beneficiaries can be a smart move. REASON: Because we are tax-exempt, we will not have to pay income tax on those proceeds, whereas individuals typically would have to pay income tax.
We would welcome the opportunity to talk with you about how an endowment may address your charitable-planning objectives. Please feel free to contact our office if we can be of help.

surf lodge
i think i may be bi. bi~ in the bi polar / bi coastal way. when i lived on the east coast, i pined and whined for the west coast, and now with feet firmly planted into the *imported sands of the west coast.... i dream of east coast beaches. mal content? more like a lover of all things sand and surf. and it's sort of hard not to want to hit the hamptons, surfer style when there's a place like the surf lodge in montauk. the 32-room hotel is located a half-mile from the beach on fort pond in montauk { i love the painted room numbers~ very lifegaurd stand-ish} if sun bleached floors, a chill vintage vibe, surf art, and a 2,500 sq foot indoor~outdoor lounge doesn't make you all dreamy eyed for east coast surf... catch a cameo by top, schwing, chef~ sam talbot, who has taken the helm as excutive chef of the restaurant. it's true i'm fickle about my love for both coasts but then..... maybe it's just a phase.

the selby in your place
i've been a fan of photographer, todd selby for awhile and was recently alerted to his website~ the selby in your place. it's an incredible site with great photos, shot of creatives in their homes and work spaces.
so hard to choose a favorite. but i do so love creative director, ryan koban's super cool pad.i think this seals it for me on the charcoal galley kitchen with white cabintery and blue willow china. i need a small room in my house to be just like this and the home of artist, adam wallacavage is just outstanding. baroque meets natural history museum meets hotel new hampshire. go check it out {but come back here}
no, in YOUR PLACE: i emailed todd after learning that he was 'scouting' places to shoot in L.A. and, um, i sort of sent him shots of my place. you know how you do something without much thought and then go, ''GOD, why did i DO that?' can you imagine? i'm so not of this ilk. not rock n' rolly AT ALL. WAY too safe. but i was sort of all desporado~fan, lurker like hoping he'd go, "hell ya. we'll do some bizarro, suburbia beach thing". he was very kind and generous with his rejection. and now not only do i love his work... i think he's aces as well.

fashion meets compassion
whenever i consider being eco friendly in my fashion choices, i quietly think, "i'll just stick to my part by not using plastic bags" because 'eco friendly fashion'? this scares me. will i be relegated to polar fleece and hemp clothing ? {although i almost had my wedding dress made from bamboo} unbleached cotton? reused tire fragments? i'm just a girl who wants her carbon foot print to be made by something more fashionable than a croc.and i try to buy vintage, but honestly, the smell is just too much for me. i want to be kind to this old earth, but can't i be cute while doing so?this is why i'm thrilled that i've found the perfect place for a girl like me... arboretum {in the cute little wine country town of healdsburg ~northern califronia} so chic, so eco aware and fair labor compassionate. this beautiful space is filled with some of my favorite designers, including, virginia johnson, jutta neumann, cb i hate perfume i had no idea that these designers fell under that umbrella of green goodness. stopping by over the weekend {while up there for a wedding}, i picked up some delishi-oso finds such as these shoes, by uk based, 'beyond skin' and this super cute little crocheted number by stewart + brown clothing:
they carry great jewelry too {one of my faves, melissa joy manning is a new designer for them} and it doesn't stop with me, they also have great stuff for the guys. gorgeous shirts, pants and shoes. all with the same responsible practice in mind.

Next Sunday — Jan. 20 — we will publish "The People's Agenda" on these pages. The deadline for receipt of an agenda by The Ledger is 5 p.m. Wednesday.
Next Sunday — Jan. 20 — we will publish "The People's Agenda" on these pages.
The deadline for receipt of an agenda by The Ledger is 5 p.m. Wednesday.
That still leaves plenty of time to write as many as three brief goals for local or state government officials to accomplish this year.
We stated the newspaper's agenda Jan. 1 in our "Agenda for Progress 2013" editorial. The editorial may be read on TheLedger.com at www.theledger.com/agenda2013. It is one source for ideas — worth looking over as a way of stimulating ideas of your own.
Among the points we made in the editorial were:
The re-emergence of Charlie Crist, D-St. Petersburg — former Republican and former governor — brings the first substantial political check and balance to Gov. Rick Scott since taking office two years ago, and likewise for his Republican cohorts who hold a dual supermajority in the Florida Legislature.
Florida Polytechnic University's board of trustees has made good choices so far, but the university has many more wise decisions to make before accepting its first class in 2014.
Extravagant pay raises to top legislative staff members by leaders of the state House and state Senate are inappropriate, particularly when regular state workers are in need and have not had any sort of salary increase since a one-time $1,000 bonus in 2007.
Polk County impact fees should be instituted fully and should be renewed so as to protect existing residents from paying for services and facilities made necessary by new development.
Sheriff Grady Judd and his office should be congratulated on an investigation that led to the confiscation of 49 guns, including assault weapons, at an Auburndale business near an elementary school. However, as an additional matter of safety, Judd should also use his substantial influence to help find a way to keep guns from those incapable of making appropriate decisions about their use.
Polk high schools' overall poor performance in comparison to those in the rest of the state, along with the Polk County School District's ranking of 59th out of 67 counties, show a need for great improvement in Polk public education.
The city of Lakeland's electric utility should manage and upgrade its power plants wisely, and stay atop industry changes, and also use its new smart meters as a way to benefit all in the city and avoid heavy-handedness that could turn the public against the new devices.
Winter Haven must determine once and for all whether the project to sell the Chain O' Lakes Complex for development into a hotel, restaurant and retail-store center benefits the city, and it must handle the issue professionally and in good order.
The 2012 People's Agenda contained many ideas, a number of which are still relevant or ripe for development into a next stage.
They included an Internet tax, solar energy, restaurant inspections, a need to fight fraud, the cost of Lakeland Electric fuel hedging, the minimum wage, property taxes and term limits — among many others.
An agenda may be emailed to email@example.com or faxed to 863-802-7849, with a subject line of "Agenda 2013." Include your name, address and telephone number.
To mail in or drop off an agenda — or for more details — see the coupon near the top center of today's Editorial Page.

Yo, why don't we have a space battle for those that can bring ships along with the ground battles and we should have 2 or 3 people taking their turn at once. If we put armies in a circle around the objective, we could have a rotating thing with the 2 halves of the table taking their turns at the same time, the turn takers would be approximately across the table from each other. We would also need to have someone be able to call for people to finish their turns and freeze if 2 people make it to or past the center.

I would use the 2005 set as a baseline and just throw in bits and pieces from all the others as is needed.
2: CP limitations and/or methods of boosting the level of power in smaller armies, so they don't just die in a few turns.
Bringing "mercenary" secondary forces comes to mind. Sort of like how Warhead doesn't have an exceptionally large force of Immortals, but he could bring five or six addition forces that could be spread out among those who don't have much stuff. I'm sure scrounging around everyone could bring a few extra figs for the less privileged.
5: Should multiple games be set up? I think yes, as if people are going to spend like 12 hours driving to get there, then they should be in for more than just one game.
Well, if lots of people show up with large amounts of lego, you probably won't have time for more than one battle. One ridiculously sized battle with multiple facets (urban section, plains section, water section for air battles etc.) could be good.
9: how do you determine whose legos are whose at the end of all the chaos?
You don't, I got half of my legos by taking my collection to someone elses house and then taking more then I came with. (Sorry Natalya your AC seems to have been um, misplaced.)The stuff you really care about you will obviously keep a close eye on.

The cost of used cars will keep rising this year. But that doesn't mean customers won't have the funds to buy those pricey F&I products on the back end.
The National Automobile Dealers Association expects the used-car supply to remain tight, keeping prices up. In some vehicle segments, such as minivans and near-luxury vehicles, prices could increase by 3 percent or more from last year, said Jonathan Banks, NADA's executive automotive analyst.
So, if people are paying more than ever for a used vehicle, would they still have the funds or financing to buy F&I products?
According to Banks, data show that last year dealers sold many F&I products, even to those paying for high-priced used vehicles.
"I think dealers have figured out how to explain to consumers the reasons for buying those products," Banks said. "I don't see rising used-vehicle prices hurting those F&I sales in 2012 either."
Banks speculated that perhaps as dealers focus more on customer service, used-car buyers feel the same as new-car buyers in the way the dealership treats them. Indeed, many dealers say their used-car buyers are given the same treatment and offered the same amenities that new-car buyers get.
Services that were once reserved for new-car buyers, such as special vehicle service clinics, now also are extended to used-car buyers at some dealerships.
It stands to reason if a customer wants a service contract or roadside assistance or some other F&I product, dealers will find ways to get it financed, offer an acceptable price and make it happen.
F&I is a big profit generator no matter where it comes from. As Banks said, "Buying used isn't a dirty word anymore."

-Held Autopsy On Squaw While Men Held War Dance -
Court Had Ordered Probe Of Death of Woman Who Was Thought Murdered
(The following is an interesting reminiscence related to the New Mexico club at its luncheon yesterday, by Dr. F. A. Dillon, former government Indiana physician.)
When one can hardly turn a corner in New Mexico without encountering something which would make an interesting subject for our club, I feel a little like apologizing for offering a personal experience. Yet I know that our club "will little care nor long remember this."
Some 18 or 20 miles up the Rio Grande from Albuquerque is the little Indian village of San Felippe, or at least it was there some 25 years ago when I had the adventure of which I am to relate. The Indians of this village were sullen and backward and slow in adopting the white man's ways. They resented the schools and the white teachers and all the efforts made by our government to better their condition. Their wish was to be let alone, that they might --- as their fathers had lived before them. However, they had ---- at school
. . . Rio Grande at this time was high from the melting snow in the mountains.
Arriving at the school house, we found that all of the able bodied men were up the river some four or five miles working on the ditches and the village was deserted, save for the old men, women and children. A few of the old men were rounded up and informed of our mission. They retired to a nearby house and after some time sent a spokesman to say that if there was any digging in the graveyard, someone would die. Right then I began to wish that I were in Dixie. I was just then on the the eve of a glorious career and I had no desire to have some bad Indian nip it in the bud.
The sheriff explained that we would take up the body only for examination; we would then replace it, and fill the grave as we had found it. They would hear to none of this and grew more sullen and defiant. We had spent much time without getting any place. The sheriff told them that he was a servant of the court and must obey his orders; that he had a court order to take up the body for examination and that he was going to follow his instructions. The sheriff then called upon the school teachers to designate the grave and ordered his diggers to make ready with the shovels. Business picked up, but only momentarily. The teachers were unable to be sure about the grave; said it might be this one or that one, and finally they could not say, with any degree of certainty, which one it might be.
------- degree of protection should the hostilities conclude to descend upon us. We found a few boards and made a table and spread out our instruments and awaited the coming of the body. We were surprised at the short time that it took those diggers to resurrect the body and place it on our table. The body was wrapped in a heavy Navajo blanket and, upon unrolling it, several loaves fell out. One of the Mexican grave robbers said, "Ugh! Pretty soon hungry." The two teachers were called in and identified the body and business for us then picked up.
Under favorable circumstances we could have done the autopsy in one hour, but under those which were forced upon us, it took nearly three hours. The last hour was by candle light. The Indians withdrew to the nearby hills and started the most unearthly war dance that I have ever experienced. All during the autopsy the beat of the tom-toms and drums and the weird shrieks of the dancers dinned in our ears and made us the more nervous.
We found the woman's neck broken and many body discolorations and port-mortem settlings all of which might have been post-mortem as the body was dumped into a deep grave and the dirt pounded down with heavy stones. It was necessary that we make a careful examination as the results were likely to be court evidence. So far we had found only a broken neck which we could hardly expect a New Mexico court to hold as sufficient cause for death.
Upon removing the skull cap we found a most interesting brain tumor the size of a hen's egg together with a brain hemorrhage. The hemorrhage alone could have accounted for her death. According to the evidence in the case as it later developed, there was probably an ordinary family fuss such as might develop in a Presiding Elder's home. The man struck his wife on the head with a stick of wood and she fell dead in her tracks. The brain hemorrhage was doubtless the direct and immediate cause of death and under the circumstances, a slight blow might have been all that was necessary to cause death.
Darkness was upon the face of the deep when our work was finished. We turned the body back to the grave robbers and gathered our instruments together. The grave robbers spent little time in replacing the body and refilling the grave. By the time we were ready to depart we were conscious that the whole village was filled with Indians. Eyes were peeping around every corner. I wasn't in shape to reason then, but since I have thought that they sent men to watch us, to see that the body was replaced, and to see that we did not carry away any part of it.
Everything ready, we started for the footbridge. Dr. Keck carried a grip with instruments, and a cloth bag containing a pair of scales and a few other things. As I think of it now, the cloth bag may have looked a little suspicious and they probably thought it contained some of the woman's anatomy. The Indians followed us so closely that I could feel their hot breath on the back of my neck. The bridge that had offered so much trouble in the morning was taken with a hop, skip, and a jump, and I would have been glad had it been burned behind me.

How to Emerge From A Plane Looking Fresh-Faced
Tomorrow night, I'll hop on an 11:15 p.m. flight from LAX and land at JFK at 7 a.m. the next morning. If all goes according to plan, I'll be backstage at Peter Som's runway show two hours later, kicking off a week of non-stop backstage coverage. Beauty sleep? I'll be lucky if I get a few hours mid-flight. Thankfully, I've racked up plenty of miles in my lifetime and learned a thing or two about emerging fresh-faced from a plane. Rule #1: drink a lot of water. For the rest, click through!
The better your skin is pre-flight, the better it'll look at baggage claim. I firmly believe the most important part of any facial is extractions—you want your pores to be totally cleaned out. Depending on your skin type, microdermabrasion and oxygen help sustain the glow, too. For an at-home version, use Boscia's Luminizing Mask ($34) and Kate Somerville's DermalQuench ($95) and your moisturizer of choice.
Regardless of what time you're flying, do not get on board with makeup on your face. If you do, wash it with a mild cleanser, like Fresh's Soy Face Cleanser ($15) as soon as you get on board and generously spritz a hydrating mist, like Caudalie's beloved Beauty Elixir ($18), all over your skin before moisturizing.
This is the most important step. There are few places as dry as an airplane, so in addition to drinking more water and less alcohol, apply a rich cream or oil to still-damp skin post-cleansing. (I have very oily skin and I still do this.) Clinique's Moisture Surge Overnight Mask ($33) goes on like a regular moisturizer, without visible residue. Sunday Riley's Good Genes ($105) and Tarte's Pure Maracuja Oil ($17) are other winners.
Do not try and preserve a blowout on board. Instead, embrace your hair's natural texture. The cleaner it is for takeoff the better. If you put it up, keep it loose to avoid kinks and come armed with dry shampoo, like the travel-sized versions from Batiste ($4) or Oscar Blandi ($11).
Bring a pillow, earplugs, and a sleep mask—all of which will make it easier to sleep. The more sleep you get, the more refreshed you'll appear. Splurge on Catbird NYC's Cat Eye Mask ($24) for inspiration.
More than one makeup artist swears by SK-II's Facial Treatment Mask ($90 for six) pre-arrival. I can't commit to a full mask, but I will spritz the Caudalie again before applying Shiseido's Benefiance Pure Retinol Instant Treatment Eye Mask ($62 for 12 sets) underneath my eyes.
About 45 minutes pre-landing (before the fasten seat belt sign's turned on), I'll head to the bathroom, wash the moisturizing mask off my face face, brush my teeth, and put that dry shampoo to use. I'll use a light moisturizer, like Sisley's Super Soin Self Tanning Hydrating Facial Skin Cream ($141) to even out my skin. If you want more coverage, try a BB Cream like Lancome's Bienfait Teinte ($45) or Olay's Total Effects CC Cream ($23).
If I were visiting family, I'd skip this part, but it's fashion week, so I'll sweep on Kevyn Aucoin's Volumizing Mascara ($28) and press RMS's Lip Shine ($25) in Sacred onto my cheekbones and lips. Once off the flight, I'll spray the travel-sized Byredo Perfume ($110 for 3 refills) in Gypsy Water in my hair—and continue to do so throughout the week.
Final note? You want to look put together form head-to-toe, not just from the neck up. Luckily, Who What Wear's the best place to find airport outfit inspiration. You don't need 6-inch heels, but you might take cues from Diane Kruger's laid back style.

Lamar Odom to Re-Sign With Lakers
Celllllll-abrate good times c'mon!
Lamar Odom staying with Lakers
By GREG BEACHAM, AP Sports Writer Greg Beacham, Ap Sports Writer 2 hrs 1 min ago
LOS ANGELES Lamar Odom is sticking with the NBA champs.
After a rocky free-agent courtship, Odom agreed on a multiyear contract Thursday to stay with the Los Angeles Lakers, keeping intact most of the roster that won the club's 15th NBA title this summer.
Lakers spokesman John Black confirmed an agreement, but wouldn't discuss specifics. Odom still hasn't signed the deal, but could do so as early as Friday.
The contract, which is expected to contain three guaranteed years and a fourth-year option, maintains the Lakers' core of Kobe Bryant, Pau Gasol, Derek Fisher and Odom alongside new teammate Ron Artest. Odom's return means Los Angeles likely will be favored to win another Western Conference title and that's what the 6-foot-10 Odom said he prized most during his eventful few weeks as a free agent.
Odom, a 10-year NBA veteran, proved his determination to win last season when he accepted and thrived in a reserve role for the Lakers, averaging 12.3 points and 9.1 rebounds during the postseason.
Odom repeatedly said he preferred to stay with the Lakers, but apparently came close to leaving either by choice or necessity. Los Angeles pulled a previous contract offer from the table when Odom was slow to respond to it, and Dwyane Wade heavily lobbied Odom to return to Miami, where they spent one season together.
Portland also apparently made a bid for Odom's versatile offensive game and passing skills, but the New York City native always made it clear he preferred the personal opportunities and lifestyle only found in Los Angeles, where he spent his first four NBA seasons with the Clippers and his last five with the Lakers.
After playing extensively up front last season, Odom could move to the backcourt for more playing time in the fall. Center Andrew Bynum will be healthy after missing much of last season with a torn knee ligament, while Artest's defensive versatility allows him to guard much taller players perhaps freeing up Odom to use his improved 3-point stroke from the perimeter.
Among the key players in last season's run to the title, the Lakers lost only forward Trevor Ariza, who emerged as a dependable rotation player last season, particularly during the playoffs. Ariza joined the Houston Rockets after Los Angeles signed Artest, the mercurial defensive specialist who finally realized his long-held dream to play with Bryant.

Grand Theft Auto IV Walkthrough
|Tunnel of Death
Meet up with Derrick back where you first met him, in the small, trashy park in Alderney near Hardtack Avenue. When you arrive, he'll be freaking out. Clearly, this guy drinks too much and takes a wide variety of drugs that are forcing him to tweak. But, within all the madness, Derrick has yet another assignment for Niko. Niko seems to have some sort of soft spot in his heart for guys like Derrick, and he agrees to undertake the endeavor. This is a dangerous mission, though, since you'll have to "fake spring" a guy from jail by attacking his escort caravan.
Right after taking on this mission, you'll receive a call from Derrick's brother, Packie. Packie will tell you he heard of your mission, and that it's a tough one. So, he's left you a truck near the center of Alderney in an alleyway off of Jonestown Avenue. Inside the truck, you will find a rocket launcher, and as Packie tells you, it will also be used to seal off a road (he'll seal off the other end of the road). Your target has an incredibly huge police escort, and you're going to need the help. So, first thing's first -- head over to the alleyway (your GPS will take you there easily enough) and grab the truck.

Apple Store 2.0 app lets you self-checkout at Apple Stores
Posted by Andru Edwards - Categories: Lifestyle, App Updates, Apple, Free Apps,
Apple on Thursday updated its retail iOS app (now Apple Store 2.0) and as rumored last week, it includes an expansion of Apple's in-store pickup program and EasyPay, a self-checkout option for some items.
Now, when you order certain items using the app, it will give you the choice of either picking it up in a nearby store or having it shipped to you. It will also let you know whether or not the item is in stock in stores in your area. Apple has said most store-stocked items can be ready for pickup in about an hour.
Apple debuted the ship to store option a few weeks ago, starting in San Francisco and then adding Apple Stores in New York City. Since the launch of the app, the service has been added to stores in an array of cities and it will launch for additional U.S. stores as the holidays approach.

Facebook for iPad finally available
Posted by Andru Edwards - Categories: Social Networking, iPad Apps, Free Apps,
It seemed like a no-brainer for Facebook to drop an iPad app back when the original iPad launched in early 2010, but it's taken the company a year-and-a-half to finally get things in order. The wait is now over, and today you can download the official Facebook iPad app. Within the app you can browse photos at full screen, watch videos (with AirPlay integration!), and access things like the news feed, messages, Groups, chat, and more.

I'm not daft enough to think I'm the only one I'm pretty sure that I'm one of a few that are currently sharing a bed with Nigel (Slater) , he talks about this in his new book. My lovely sister bought me Nigel's new book 'The kitchen diaries' for my birthday a couple of weeks ago. It's an interesting read and full of inspiration, if you love to cook good food. Its a big book and there is lots in it, taking you through most of a year of what's been created in Nigel's kitchen. AND when you read it, its like Nigel reading you a cooks bedtime story, you know he has that sort of soothing voice on the TV? Well you can hear him when you read the book (well not really, but I can).
I like the premise behind the book that a kitchen shouldn't have too much stored food (buy fresh and create meals from fresh foods notion) and I love the way he advocates the using up of bits and pieces to make new and interesting meals. In fact, thats just how I like to cook at home, I love a good rummage in the fridge and the cupboards, and I really enjoy making meals out of what might appear to be very little.
My husband agrees that some of the best meals we have had have been created from 'bits and pieces'; and when we were watching Nigel on TV last week (there is a series on TV currently that supports this book) I was paid one of the best compliments ever when my husband said 'this reminds me of the way you cook and some of the meals we have', I welled up I was so proud to be compared to Nigel Slater!
Nigel has a recipe in 'The kitchen diaries' for a black pudding sausage roll; here is my version where I am trying to use up some of the many
2 (horseshoe) Lancashire black puddings
500g pork sausages
1 jar onion marmalade/relish/pickle (whatever chutney you can lay your hands on will probably work well here)
1 pkt fresh (butter) puff pastry
1tsp poppy seeds
1 beaten egg
flour to dust
1. Pre- heat the oven to 180C fan.
2. Roll out the puff pastry, until quite thin, I found it easer to cut it in half and work in two batches.
3. Start by taking the sausage meat out of the skins and put in a bowl. Do the same with the black pudding and crumble the black pudding into the sausage meat. Mix together (hands work best at this job).
4. Use the meat mixture to make a long sausage, by rolling in some flour. Then lay on the rolled puff pastry. Use a teaspoon to dribble the onion marmalade/chutney over the meat mixture in a line. Roll up the sausage roll and use the beaten egg on the edges prior to sealing.
5. Place the rolls on a baking sheet (or 2) and brush the tops and sides with beaten egg. Use scissors to snip along the top of the sausage rolls and then sprinkle with poppy seeds.
6. Bake in the oven for about 45 minutes.
Don't forget to check Dom's blog for more (store cupboard finds and inspirational recipes when he does his round up at the end of the month, its always a cracking read.

OXFORD, Miss. (April 2, 2010) - Senior Sinead O'Sullivan (Galway, Ireland) and sophomore Nina Muehl (Vienna, Austria) posted scores in the Top 8 on the individual leaderboard, helping the ETSU women's golf team to a strong second-place showing following first round action in the Rebel Intercollegiate Friday at the Ole Miss Golf Course.
O'Sullivan fired a first round score of 1-under-par 71 to finish tied for fourth, while Muehl finished tied for eighth at even-par 72. Both ETSU players are chasing a trio of competitors that posted 2-under 70 to tie for the individual lead.
In the team competition, the Bucs finished at 4-over 292 as a squad, and are just two strokes behind first round leader and 27th-ranked Tulane. ETSU is in front of schools such as host Ole Miss, Missouri, No. 18 Texas A&M, Augusta State, Kansas and Oklahoma.
"I was really proud of our team's effort. It was a great day," said ETSU head coach Stefanie Shelton. "Sinead and Nina continue to play really well, and we posted a very solid score today. We just need to stay focused and take it one day at a time."
Along with O'Sullivan and Muehl, ETSU sophomore Mayte Vizcarrondo (Cadiz, Spain) and senior Kennie Leigh Eisenhower (Newport) finished tied for 21st and 23rd, respectively. Vizcarrondo finished at 2-over 74 while Eisenhower posted a 3-over 75.
Second round play will continue on Saturday, followed by third and final round action on Sunday. Fans can watch live scoring of the event at Golfstat.com, or get a complete wrap up of the day's play by visiting ETSUBucs.com and clicking on the women's golf link.

A hat?
You are right that the first impulse, esp. from a company that does not
understand Blackboard etc., is to wildly overvalue the rights to use
this romantic new method of delivery. They don't get that the same
students are seeing the film the same number of times as they would be
with the original, which you paid for.
I ran into a situation like this with some audio. I did not think I
would be charged at all, since we had already paid for duplication
rights and the company had given me the go-ahead to digitize. Then they
sent a contract not only wanting a yearly $1k but also my files.... hmmm.
