House Rules Committee Process on Puerto Rico Exposes a Congress Unfit to Meet Our Nation's Challenges
Washington — Last night, the House Rules Committee met to set the rules for considering H.R. 5278, the Puerto Rico Oversight, Management, and Economic Stability Act (PROMESA), which attempts to address Puerto Rico's current debt crisis, brought on by a decades-long depression. Citing germaneness issues, the committee refused to make in order a pro-growth amendment offered by Rep. Gary Palmer (R-AL) 95% that would exempt Puerto Rico from the Jones Act, other conservative amendments. Heritage Action released the following statement from chief executive officer Michael A. Needham:
"The House's decision to not even allow a vote on a much-needed pro-growth policy for Puerto Rico exposes a Congress that is nowhere near up to the challenges of our time. Puerto Rico clearly needs growth and yet the House could not even bring itself to debate a policy with widely-acknowledged potential to help unleash that growth. Worse still, parliamentary niceties were used as cover to hide from the vote and protect special interests. It is yet another example of why the American people are fed up with Congress.
"Conservative, pro-growth ideas that are essential to jump starting Puerto Rico's island's economy have been dropped from conversation because they were regarded as non-starters for the Obama administration and liberals in Congress. Instead of rising to meet a challenge and forcing the issue on these important debates, Congress is squandering an opportunity to truly change course for millions in Puerto Rico."

McElhinney records sixth shutout as Falcons win in Hersheyby Rob Mixer / Columbus Blue Jackets
In their 19-year franchise history, the Springfield Falcons had never shut out the Hershey Bears -- until tonight.
With the home team playing inspired hockey of late and the Falcons sputtering a bit since the turn of December, this game set up to be an important one as the American Hockey League prepares for its annual holiday break.
Springfield entered the game three points behind the Syracuse Crunch for first place in the Eastern Conference and desperately wanted to make up ground and go into the break with a win. And when you have the AHL's best goaltender wearing your sweater, the odds are increasingly better of making that happen.
Matt Calvert scored a nifty shorthanded goal at 18:24 of the opening period for the only goal of the game, and the Falcons defense did the rest in a much-needed 1-0 victory at the Giant Center. Calvert made a terrific individual play to make his goal happen, too; he stole the puck at the Springfield blue line as two Hershey players fought for the puck, and he skated 150 feet before putting a slick deke on Bears goaltender Braden Holtby.
It was Calvert's eighth goal of the season and it stood up as the game-winner.
Curtis McElhinney was once again solid between the pipes, making 19 saves en route to his league-leading sixth shutout of the season in just his 21st start. His 15 wins are among the AHL's best and with tonight's clean sheet, he became the first goaltender in Falcons franchise history to record six shutouts in a single season.
Again, in his 21st start.
He didn't have a lot of strenuous work in the final two periods, needing to make only 12 saves after the first period came to an end. But he was prepared when called upon, and the Falcons' uptempo attack ensured most of the game was played in the Hershey end of the ice.
Other items of interest after tonight's game:
-- The Falcons' top line was electric tonight but couldn't beat Holtby. Ryan Johansen, Jonathan Audy-Marchessault, Cam Atkinson and Calvert combined for 17 shots on goal and several were of top quality. Atkinson ripped three or four one-timers -- one missing by inches.
-- Hershey gifted Springfield with nine power plays on the night, including two double-minor penalties for high-sticking, but the Falcons could not cash in. They have scored just once in their last 25 power plays, and with that kind of talent on the roster, you wonder if head coach Brad Larsen might shake things up a bit with his power play personnel.
-- Dalton Smith stood out in a good way tonight, driving hard to the net and sticking up for his teammates on multiple occasions after the play. I've said it all along: once he starts getting comfortable (he's only in his first pro season), teams are not going to like playing against him.
-- Another ice-in-the-veins game for David Savard, who has formed a nice partnership with Nick Holden on Springfield's top pairing. He plays at least 20 minutes every night in all situations and still makes one of the most accurate first passes I've seen.

Inactives for Tonight's Game:
Knicks: Stephon Marbury, Jerome James, Randolph Morris
Lakers: Trevor Ariza, Andrew Bynum, Chris Mihm
1st Quarter:
10:43 Lamar Odom opens up tonight's game much like the way he started against the Cavs on Sunday–with two aggressive moves that led to easy driving layups. Odom needs to keep his foot on the accelerator though for the full 48 minutes after he was virtually non-existent in the fourth quarter against Cleveland.
7:04 Kobe gets his first deuce of the night, weaving his way into the lane for an uncontested layup for a 10-9 Lakers lead. So far, it looks like Kobe the facilitator has come out looking for his teammates to open up the game.
5:19 Kwame throws down a dunk, giving the Lakers an 18-9 lead and a 10-0 run. Brown nearly became public enemy number one for Lakers fans a few plays ago after missing a wide-open dunk with the ball barely getting to the rim. Luckily, Brown retrieved the loose ball and scored a layup off the glass, temporarily absolving him.
3:39 Radmanovic enters the game for the Lakers, replacing an ineffective Luke Walton. Turiaf also enters the game to a huge ovation by the crowd, also sporting a pony tail for the first time this season, instead of his usual 'do.
2:51 Jordan Farmar joines his teammates on the floor for the first time tonight, with the Lakers only up 20-18, despite out-rebounding the Knicks 13-4.
1:57 Farmar hits a much-needed three-pointer for the Lakers, ending a 12-3 Knicks run. David Lee is burning the Lakers so far, already picking up his ninth point. Quentin Richardson and Jamal Crawford each have five a piece for the Knicks.
17.1 Again, Jordan nails a three with the Lakers in need of a basket after New York secured its biggest lead of the night, 29-25. Meanwhile, Sasha's missed both of his three point tries so far. Overall, an up and down quarter for the Lakers who had a great chance to put the Knicks away, but couldn't build on their nine point lead.
2nd Quarter:
INJURY UPDATE: Luke Walton is out for the remainder of tonight's ball game with a hip pointer.
10:05 Great pass from Ronny over the top to Kwame, who the Knicks left completely uncovered. Yea it's been like that for Kwame, but not nearly that bad. Ronny's got three blocks already tonight to go along with his two assists and unfurled hair do.
8:47 Consecutive trey balls from #10 Vladimir Radmanovic gives the Lakers a 42-36 lead. Vladi couldn't really get going on Sunday, only playing 4:39 in his first game back after a month long recovery. Tonight that hasn't been the case. With Walton out for the rest of the contest the onus will fall on Sasha and Vladi to pick it up the slack. The way Luke has been playing of late they won't have to do much to make up for that, but having Radman's rain-drop trey back in the arsenal is definitely nice to see.
7:07 There have been times that Sasha has been accused of a flop here or there. This is not one of those times. The X-Mo on Fox Sports really illustrates the elbow in the chops he just took from Balkman. In a clear case of no justice, Ronaldo gets the call going the other way… on Sasha. In an effort to make things right the universe forces Balkman to miss both from the line. Vujacic stayed on the floor for a couple of little bit after getting rocked, but there don't seem to be any long term effects.
6:34 Eddy Curry heads to the bench with his 4th foul. The bright spot for the Knicks in that scenario is that Isiah isn't forced to pick his lineup by how much they make. Now Randolph can have the space he needs down low to operate while Curry's vast potential is planted firmly on the bench. My question would be, why does Zeke have him in there with three fouls? A big, young guy with a history of foul problems (among other problems) doesn't have the moxy for a situation like that.
Yes!!! I thought I would be sticking to chastising all the typical Isiah Thomas miscues and I just found one I didn't even think of pre-game.
2:24 A deep deuce by Fisher brings the game to a 53-53 tie heading into a break.
1:27 Ronny looking a lot like Bynum on that dunk that just brought the house down. He also saved Jordan a turnover with a great grab on the way up.
.09 As the Lakers work to clear out at the top Kobe gets hit with a carrying call that sends the ball the other way and gives the Knicks a chance to score at the other end to give them a 61-58 lead at the half.
The Lakers defense has been poor. They're out-everything'ing (rebounding, assists, etc.) the Knicks except in points. Specifically points off the turnovers. It's been a theme of the past couple games. Free throw shooting hasn't been so hot either. Another disturbing theme of the past weeks. With all that said, the Lakers simply have too much talent to let the Knicks lead for much longer. Time for them to pick it up on both ends. Kobe Bryant has had a quiet first half, so I'm giving Ronny my first half MVP award.
3rd Quarter
12:00 Vlad is starting at small forward to open the half in place of the injured Walton.
10:49 Lamar starts out the second half the exact same way he started the first, scoring on a driving layup and one. The key for Odom is sustaining that same level of aggression throughout the rest of the second half. On the night,#7 has nine points and seven boards.
8:28 Fishers nails a big three for L.A. The Lakers haven't opened the half any better than the way they closed it. They still trail the Knicks, 69-65, and have yet to put their stamp on this game on either the defense or offensive end. Derek has 13 points on the night to lead the team.
5:36 Derek continues to keep the Lakers afloat, this time doing it with a nice driving layup to bring the Lakers to within a basket of the Knicks at 73-71. Kobe also looks like he's picking it up this quarter, finally entering double digits in point with 10.
4:27 Sasha comes into the game, replacing Kwame.
2:17 Derek just hit another two, but the Lakers are essentially trading baskets at this point, showing absolutely no ability to defend the Knicks after they just gave up yet another wide-open three, this time Nate Robinson. It sounds like the STAPLES Center crowd is beginning to feel the anxiety from the Knicks' surge too. Hopefully the team can respond by playing with a greater sense of urgency to close out the final two minutes of the quarter.
26.1 Randolph misses the dunk on the Knicks end and Jordan ignites a break that leads to a layup by Odom. The Lakers still trail at the end of the third though, 87-85.
4th Quarter:
9:34 Kobe pulls down the ball for a big all-oop, but the Lakers give up yet another three top Robinson on the next trip down. L.A. trails 97-91 and desperately needs to get a stop as the Knicks, sensing the upset, are going for blood each trip down the floor. Little Nate already has 18 points on the night.
8:15 Sasha hits his second three in a row to bring the Lakers to within three of the Knicks at 97-100. Now, let's see if the team can finally get a big stop to go with it. Over the last six minutes, the Lakers have repeatedly answered New York's quest to build a double digit lead, but haven't been able to sustain the momentum for more than a few plays at a time. If the trend continues, they may be in some serious trouble as the game enters the final six minutes.
6:36 It's getting testy inside of STAPLES Center as Robinson just fell over Sasha as both careened off the floor. Vujacic was called for a personal, but Nate received a technical.
5:50 The crowd's getting rowdy again after Kobe dishes the ball to Lamar for a layup that ties the score at 104 with just under half the quarter remaining. The Lakers still haven't found a way to stop the Knicks consistently, but at least, we're seeing some fire from the purple and gold finally.
4:38 The yellow rally towels are out in full force after Farmar leads the Lakers' fast break resulting in a jumper by Sasha that sends 18,997 to their feet. The Lakers finally look ready to take over this game once and for all, now up 108-104.
1:50 Everyone's on their feet again after Kobe methodically drives into the lane for a floater and one. STAPLES is showing him some love with one of the loudest "MVP" chants of the season for #24.
1:14 Another try by a fearless Sasha likely seals the deal for the Lakers, now up 118-108 with just over a minute to go. Vujacic has 20 on the night, tying him for second on the team behind Kobe's 24.
FINAL SCORE: Knicks 109, Lakers 120

Report: LionsXII 1-1 T-Team FC
The Malaysia Super League champions squandered a host of opportunities after taking the lead and their profligacy came back to haunt them as their two-game winning run was halted
Wastefulness. That was the theme of Saturday night for the LionsXII in their Malaysia Super League clash against T-Team FC, which ultimately ended 1-1.
Looking for a third consecutive victory, the defending champions squandered chance after chance at the Jalan Besar Stadium after taking the lead midway through the first half.
They were eventually punished when their opponents capitalised after the break, striking from a set-piece and then holding on for the draw in a night of frustration.
Back at home after a last-gasp away victory over Perak FA on Tuesday, Fandi Ahmad's men surged forward with intent straight from the start as the effervescent Faris Ramli caused no end of trouble down the right.
The visitors were not helped by an injury to key centre-back Fabio Flor after just 60 seconds, with the Brazilian being stretchered off and replaced by Marzuki Yusof.
Flor had been left in a heap after failing to stop Faris, whose low cross was fumbled by custodian Shahril Sa'ari to Shahfiq Ghani eight yards out. However, the striker, making his first appearance in three games, sidefooted the ball well wide in a foreshadowing of what was to come.
It was important for the LionsXII to make their early domination count and they did just that on 24 minutes.
Moments after Khairul Amri had thudded a header off Shahril Sa'ari's right-hand post, Safuwan robbed a defender 25 yards out before blasting a shot into the same corner for his second goal in as many games.
The centre-back nearly doubled his tally on 36 minutes when he got his head to Zulfahmi Arifin's deep cross from the left, only to put it over under pressure from the goalkeeper.
The Titans were hit with yet another set-back as half-time approached when Marzuki had to go off after a clash of heads with Firdaus Kasman, with Chilean playmaker Nelson San Martin brought on.
The LionsXII needed a second goal to calm nerves down and they nearly got it three minutes after the restart.
Faritz Hameed's cross found Amri at the far post, who skipped past the goalkeeper and laid it back to Faris. The winger's shot was deflected to the other side, where Firdaus blasted over when he should have done better.
Shahfiq then glanced another excellent ball from Faritz inches past the far post near the hour mark and that proved to be a costly miss.
San Martin gave a warning sign by blasting over from 12 yards after collecting a loose ball, but he was not so generous two minutes later. After substitute Ramzul Zahini had made an immediate impact by drawing a foul, the playmaker stepped up to curl a lovely strike from 20 yards into the top right corner.
The LionsXII had been punished for their failure to score again and the silenced crowd had to be thankful for Izwan Mahbud's smart save off Ramzul's fierce shot minutes later.
Safuwan was pushed into attack alongside Amri as Fandi sought to change things and the decision nearly paid off with a quarter of the game remaining.
Amri's slide-rule pass sent Faris racing down the left but the latter's cross was just behind Safuwan, who could only poke the ball agonisingly wide of the near post.
With the game entering its final stretch, the LionsXII continued to squander opportunities. Both Shakir Hamzah and Madhu Mohana headed wide from Zulfahmi's deliveries, while Syuhiran Ahmad hacked Safuwan's header off the line.
The red and white tide was relentless but impotent, with Shahril denying Amri in the last chance of the game to ensure T-Team went home with a share of the spoils.
For the LionsXII, they were left to reflect on a night of profligacy that cost them victory.

It's been long anticipated and taken nearly a week longer than it should have. But on Saturday afternoon at 12:15pm PT, fans will be treated to Emirates Team New Zealand and Luna Rossa Challenge lining up in anger on the start line of the Louis Vuitton Cup.
This will be the first head-to-head match up of the Louis Vuitton Cup, America's Cup Challenger Series, and features two teams who know each other well. Luna Rossa purchased an AC72 starter kit from the Kiwis and the teams trained together for months in Auckland before relocating to San Francisco.
"We've raced a few times in New Zealand and have practiced together here, but we'll see what it's like tomorrow," said Italian skipper Max Sirena. "For sure the Kiwis are pretty strong."
Seeing two AC72s approaching the starting line at closing speeds akin to driving on the highway isn't for the faint of heart. Sirena says the pre-start and the first reaching leg down to the turning mark off the America's Cup Village at Marina Green will be intense.
"It's going to be exciting. Imagine the entry into the starting line," he continued. "We're going to be coming in at close to 40-knots (46 mph) to the pre-start. We have to make sure the two boats cross each other and don't crash. It's going to be exciting, for sure, to see the start and the first leg."
Emirates Team New Zealand and Luna Rossa have both won points by sailing unopposed on the Louis Vuitton Cup race track, as their scheduled opponent, Artemis Racing, continues efforts to get back on the water following a capsize in May. Now, they'll be racing each other in the first of four scheduled matches between now and the end of the month.
The Kiwis have hit top speeds in excess of 43 knots over the past week as they've sailed the course alone. It's made for an impressive display that has attracted the attention of the challengers and defender alike.
"We all know Team New Zealand are the class act at the moment," said Ben Ainslie, helmsman for ORACLE TEAM USA, after seeing footage of the Emirates squad racing around the course this week. "They look incredibly slick and well practiced. We're very impressed by them as a team."
The action on the water is but a small part of the program at the America's Cup on Saturday.

There was an error in the reporting somewhere due to a new coding system the tax commission has implemented. An additional check will be sent to the city by the Tax Commission in the next few weeks.
Ms. Sementelli also reported the audit will be presented at the February 19, 2013 meeting. There was an extension to the completion date due to this year a full Comprehensive Annual Financial Report (CAFR) will be presented. This requires much more detail in the financial reporting.

Canadian National Railway says it will lock out almost 5,000 of its employees Monday night amid a deadlock in contract talks.
The Montreal-based railway said the lockout of the 4,800 mechanical, intermodal and clerical workers represented by Unifor would begin at 11 p.m. Monday unless the union agreed to binding arbitration to settle contract differences.
- CN rail faces March strike deadline after talks with union break down
- CP Rail employees on strike to be ordered back to work
- Canadian Pacific Railway talks fail, engineers go on strike
The lockout could cause more headaches for passenger train travellers. According to Fanie St-Pierre of the AMT, the Montreal area's commuter train service, the lockout wouldn't affect train engineers.
However, it would affect train inspectors — and that could stall service on the AMT's Deux-Montagnes line, which serves 31,000 passengers every weekday.
"The trains can't run if they're not inspected," St-Pierre said.
News of the failed negotiations comes less than a week after thousands of CP Rail employees went on strike.
Five months of failed talks
The union, which has announced plans to begin a strike vote next week after the failure of five months of talks, quickly rejected the company ultimatum but said it was prepared to negotiate this weekend.
"If they want to lock us out, they can lock us out," Unifor president Jerry Dias said in an interview.
CN gave the union 72 hours' notice of a lockout and moved to unilaterally impose terms of a new collective agreement Friday that included wage increases of two per cent.
In announcing the planned lockout, CN chief executive Claude Mongeau said the two sides won't get any closer amid a month-long strike mandate process.
CN wants Unifor to focus on terms of a collective agreement that applies to its employees, rather than to match terms of a recent settlement with Canadian Pacific Railway, which included a number of improvements such as rail safety and working conditions.
'They're a huge, huge wealthy Canadian company that's (acting) like a schoolyard bully.' - Unifor president Jerry Dias
"Our complete settlement offers to Unifor...are fair, competitive and fully in line with the amicable contract renewals that we have recently bargained with four other unions at CN, including the Teamsters," Mongeau said in a release.
"They would also maintain Unifor-represented employees working at CN among the highest paid in their trades in the Canadian rail industry."
But Dias said CN is objecting because it wants a cheaper deal than CP obtained.
"They're a huge, huge wealthy Canadian company that's (acting) like a schoolyard bully . . . the tactics just aren't going to work."
"If CN wants to lose their customers because of their own foolishness then I guess they have the right to do that," Dias added.
Butt out, Ottawa
The railway said Ottawa should stay out of the dispute if both sides agreed to arbitration, which it said has been used many times in the past.
The union said politicians should not "stick their nose" in at all.
Dias said that late on Feb. 15, CN made its "one and only economic offer," which he said did not take into account any of Unifor's concerns.
Union negotiators rejected the offer and CN "abruptly brought negotiations to a halt," he said.
"Now they're locking out our members as of Monday night."
CN said the company would use management personnel during the lockout to provide replacement services "to the best of its ability."
However, the railway said Montreal commuter traffic along the Deux-Montagnes line would be affected because managers don't have the expertise to maintain equipment on the electrified line.
CN has offered shop access to the AMT or a qualified contractor.

Jon Jones successfully defended the UFC light heavyweight championship against Chael Sonnen at UFC 159. During the process of stomping Sonnen, Jones just about ripped his big toe off. Jones – among many others – was shocked to see his mangled toe after the fight. After the post fight press conference, Jones was taken to the hospital where a team of the tri-state area's finest doctors and nurses successfully fixed his foot. Jones has been tweeting pictures of the entire experience. There is no timetable for his return. [@JonnyBones]

The Dragon King's Palace by Laura Joh Rowland
Book Review Title: The Dragon King's Palace Author: Laura Joh Rowland Laura Joh Rowland's The Dragon King's Palace is publicized mainly as a mystery novel. Having not read the seven earlier books which featured her detective, Sano Ichiro, I cannot state whether or not the earlier novels were primarily locatable within the genre of "mystery". What is certain however is that The Dragon King's Palace transcends the mystery novel genre at the same time that much of the plot is located within it. Yes the kidnap of four women of the court, (the mother of the Mikado, the Lord Chamberlain's wife, Sano Ichiro's wife and her friend), do lead the reader into the mystery which Sano and Chamberlain Yanagisawa must solve. The novel turns into thriller quite rapidly though

|1,400 sq. ft.
|Property type
|Minimum Stay
|2 nights
Our condo is a 3 1/2 floor split-level townhouse condo with front and rear decks, floor-to-ceiling windows and breathtaking mountain views.
At 1400 sqft, it's very spacious, providing 2 bedrooms, 2 full baths, galley kitchen with a breakfast bar and adjacent dining room, and a large living room with multiple seating areas, and a wood-burning fireplace (unlimited dry firewood outside the front door and in the unit).
The master bedroom offers a king-size bed. The second bedroom offers two twins. Additionally, there's a sofabed in the living room and another in the dining area.
The living room sports a large-screen HDTV with cable TV service, surround sound system and DVD player. Free WiFi is available throughout the unit.
Amenities include washer/dryer and dishwasher in the unit. Covered parking for one vehicle, plus ample additional off-street parking. Swimming pool which is open Memorial Day to Labor Day, Thanksgiving weekend and all through the ski season (It's heated to over 100° in the colder months). His/hers dressing rooms, showers and saunas at poolside. Tennis courts. Miles of hiking biking, etc... by just walking right out the door.
For skiers and/or hikers, Stowe Mountain Resort (and Mt. Mansfield) is only 4 miles from the condo ... about an 8-minute drive door-to-slopes.
The (free) Mountain Road Shuttle provides regularly scheduled service year-round between the Mountain and the Village ... there's a stop at the corner of Notchbrook and Mountain Rd (108).
Notchbrook Condominiums is dedicated to 'quiet enjoyment' of the area. Our location boasts a wonderful view of the Mt. Mansfield valley with unobstructed views to the West and South. Usually the only sound you'll hear are the birds, crickets and the Notch Brook crashing through its gorge as it tumbles down Bingham Falls.
I live in Newton, MA and work as a programmer in Boston. I also am a part-time PSIA LV-I ski instructor up at Stowe.
My family consists of my wife Gigi, and my two kids Vida (9) and Kyle (5).
Jeff Luckett purchased this townhome in 2013
We purchased this property because we just LOVE the Stowe area and spend a lot of time here ... especially in the winter. This property is so close to the mountain, yet also convenient to the village. The views are breathtaking and the space is so warm, comfortable and inviting ... just perfect for our family. It also has so many amenities to offer year-round.
Come check out our 'condo in the sky' and I challenge you to disagree!
The first thing that impressed us about this condo is the abundant natural light. We were then amazed with all the space and the intelligent layout. Finally, our jaws hit the floor when we first saw the panoramic views available from the 1st floor bedroom and 2nd floor living room and porch.
The proximity to the mountain can't be beat ... especially at this price. The little playground outside the unit is perfect for our (or your) kids to play unattended, yet close enough to just call them in for dinner by standing on the kitchen-side porch.
There are nice hikes to be had right outside the front door. You could walk to The Matterhorn (a local institution, watering hole and eatery), and to several natural swimming spots. With a short drive, you can go visit Smuggler's Notch, or down into Stowe Village.
Within 30-40 minutes, you can be in Montpelier or Burlington with all that these wonderful towns have to offer.
Cross-country skiing or snowshoeing your thing? We've got the Cross-Country Ski Center at the Stowe Mountain resort with miles of groomed trails. Just a few miles in the other direction, and you can take advantage of the renowned Trapp Family Lodge and their skiing. The more adventurous can head off and break your own trail right from our front door ... your thirst for adventure is the only limitation.
We loved the Luckett's Notchbrook Condo. Beds were comfortable and ample bedding and towels were provided. The view from the back porch is just stunning - weather permitting, you might have to sit out on the patio for hours. The main living area is very comfortable, augmented by a wood fireplace with ample firewood supplied. The owner certainly made it easy to enjoy TV - excellent instructions for the remote controls are provided, and you'll likely be impressed by the sound system that accompanies the TV. A stereo CD player is also offered in the dining/kitchen area. The clothes washer and dryer work well and came in quite handy. We didn't use the pool or tennis courts, but they looked good. As the cook for our family, I thought the kitchen was just fine and adequately supplied with dishes, utensils, pots, and pans, although, admittedly, we ate out quite frequently because there are so many excellent restaurants nearby. Highly recommend doing the zip line tour at Stowe Mountain - the 3 zip lines are very long and super fast! Eat at the restaurant at the top. Also check out Matterhorns, Doc Ponds, the Dutch Pancake House, Piecasso, the IdleThyme Brewery, the Green Goddess Cafe, and Michael's on the Hill. Rent bikes from MoutainOps and ride on the 5.5 mile long Stowe Recreation Path. If you want to hike to the top of the Pinnacle Summit, the hike was rated "moderate" in trail guides but I found it very difficult yet worthwhile. Also be sure to hike the Long Trail from the Nose to the Chin - hint - take the Stowe Toll Road to the Top Visitor Center and try to arrive before 10am. Back to the property, I was also impressed by the very thoughtful and useful placement of electrical power strips near every outlet - this made it very easy to find plugs for our gadgets without crawling behind couches, chairs, or under beds. I'm going to Best Buy to get a dozen power strips for my own home. The best measure or rating for any property is whether or not you would like to return for another stay, and for this condo in beautiful Stowe VT our answer is absolutely "YES!" We're already checking our calendars! Enjoy your stay! And thank you Jeff Luckett!
Warm and spacious condo for myself and 4 friends. Plenty of room to spread out and relax after a great day of skiing. It only took about 15 minutes between locking the condo door and putting on my boots in Mansfield lodge, so it's definitely only second best to being ski-in/ski-out. Don't miss out on the HEATED POOL... it was literally like being in a 50,000 gallon hot tub.
very happy with accommodations
We found that this was the perfect condo for our young family of five. The condo was spacious, comfortable and so clean! We loved the amenities as well - the playground and tennis/basketball courts across from the condo and the pool (with towel service and saunas) were right there. The views and the location were spectacular. The top of the Stowe Rec path is very close to the base of Notchbrook Road and is perfect for a family bike ride. My husband took off for a mountain bike ride from the bottom of Notchbrook Road and compared the trails to Colorado. Also, there is a great hike to Bingham Falls from the Notchbrook condo complex or from the Mountain Road. The waterfall was spectacular and the hike was everyone's vacation highlight.
The condo is close to Stowe's restaurants and Main Street as well as Waterbury.
All in all it was a perfect vacation and there wasn't anything about the condo that we didn't like. We can't wait to go back!

Compared to iOS in the distant past, Android wasn't really that much of a gaming platform, as it lacked the diversity of apps and the more powerful hardware to play them on. Now however, Android has a massive 25 billion downloads to date, a figure Apple hit only half a year ago, showing how much Google's ecosystem has developed as more and more people begin to use the software.
But what I'm mostly interested in are racing games. Being both an iOS and Android user, I found my fair share of quality racers present on the iOS App Store, so I was curious to see if the Play Store could match up. I was pleasantly surprised to find that most if not all of my favorite iOS racers were here on Android, as well as some games I hadn't seen before. Below, I will take a look at the 10 Android racing games that were a cut above the rest.
Board games remain some of the time-tested classics of the gaming world today, despite the advances in technology. What's even better about them is that you can get a whole bunch of them right there on your Android device.
The digitization of board games is an incredible feat, but not all were ported successfully; this roundup contains only what we think are the best digital alternatives while on the fly or away from the real thing.
Android devices are often overlooked as tools for musical production. While the selection of suitable apps lacks some of the diversity and big names present in the iOS App Store, there are still ample ways to translate your musical thoughts to reality.
In this roundup, I'm going to highlight some of the best ways to turn your Android into something of a music mate. The apps aren't all solely for composing, but will provide musical assistance where required and all will fit perfectly on any musician's device.

An evergreen content is a content that stays applicable for a very long time, i.e. it never gets outdated. It remains as fresh as it was before 5 to 10 years. For example, "how to make use of internet for marketing". This topic is very trendy now-a-days. But the topic will hold the same power even after 10 years.
Every blogger desperately requires to write evergreen content, as it keeps bringing in viewers continuously. It's a one-time hard work to create best evergreen post. But once, you've created it, your visitors continuously keeps coming to your blog via that content.
Many bloggers think that every piece of content that they post is evergreen. To clarify what kind of writing is considered evergreen, let's see what types of pieces are not evergreen.
- News articles.
- Statistics or numerical reports that are likely to change.
- Pieces about a specific holiday or season.
- Blog articles centered on a current trend or pop trend.
- Clothing and fashion trends.
Such types of pieces are not evergreen content.
Evergreen web content will always retain its value over the long term. Anything or any event that is related to a specific date is not evergreen. U.S presidential elections 2012 are not an evergreen content. Why?
Six months from now, who would be searching for U.S presidential elections 2012? I guess no body. The keywords will remain buried in search engines' basement which is never to be searched again.
Below are some common formats to write evergreen content.
- Lists.
- Exclusive Tips.
- "How to" Tutorials.
- Product Reviews
- Videos.
- Instructional E-books.
There are many content types which can be referred to as evergreen. So now the question arises, how to write evergreen content?
Do not include any time related event in your content. Is this what you thought just now? Well, this is only a piece of the puzzle. Let's elaborate this piece and some other pieces to see the big picture.
A. Timelessness:
The best evergreen post are the ones that can be read anytime and still which gives the same amount of relevant information. To do this, imagine you are reading your post a year or two in the past and a year in the future. Now answer, does your post still makes sense? Can it be understood outside of context of current events? Do not include time-related event in your writing piece. Even if you do, include exact statements of time such as "The event took place in 2012", or "2012 current stats are….". If you really want to be specific, include the day as well as month. By doing this, you are not giving any kind of wrong information to your visitors and you don't have to worry about updating the content on a regular basis.
B. Teach:
"How to" tutorials are extremely popular in the evergreen arena. Write about how to do something that people always need to do and you will always get visitors to your blog. The durability of such instructional writing is very high. For example, consider this post on how to write evergreen content is itself an evergreen post. People will always search for this topic and the information will always remain the same.
C. Expand:
Instead of just "how to" articles, you can also create "how to" videos that lasts for a very long time. You can even create podcasts, infographics etc. Such kinds of materials are also a great source of everlasting recurring traffic.
Creating excellent time-irrelevant pieces of information is the key to produce best evergreen post. Visitors will keep coming back for that content. Hence, create a vision for what type of evergreen content you can produce. Once your blog starts developing, sit down and start creating evergreen pieces of content that will help your readers.
What recent evergreen content did you produce recently? Do you have some new tactics to write evergreen content? Leave it in your comments section to enhance our readers' experience.
If you are looking for a step by step process to start your own blogging, you can visit our Beginners-guide-to-blogging to reach near targeted visitors. Please feel free to leave any comment you have in your mind.

So yea, back to what I like abou 90s alternative rock music...besides everything, I like that alernative rock made it's rise in the 90s, starting with grunge and ending with the incoming stream of what my mom likes to call bubblegum music, my example being Smash Mouth, which I actually liked.
Edited after I took a look at some other people's applications:
Maybe the alternative music I think is alternative really isn't, but I was always under the impression that the Barenaked Ladies, Cake, and Beck were of the alternative persuasion. One person said alternative was angsty, and where I feel the 90s were filled with some angst ridden music, grunge, such as Nirvana, started in the super later 80s, and I think the bands I mentioned with the lighter feel were also very strong deciding factors on the 90s alternative music persuasion. I hope that made sense to someone, because it really doesn't to me. (And hell, even Blind Melon and the New Radicals, both of their only real CDs I own, though angst filled at times, had that lighter sound.)
6. Top 5 90s alternative bands.
In no order, because I just can't do it:
(My own views, not what I think the general public thinks. If it were to be that, I'd throw Pearl Jam and Nirvana in there, but Nirvana was grunge...but whatever, man.)
Barenaked Ladies.
Smashing Pumpkins.
7. Top 5 90s alternative albums.
In no order, because I just can't do it:
(Also, this is in my view...not by popularity. I hope this was supposed to be in my view, and not the general publics, because I guess if I was to go by the general publics, I'd say a Nirvana CD I own or something. I also decided I'd do 6...but hey, whatever.)
"Nasty Little Thoughts" by Stroke 9.
"Stunt" by Barenaked Ladies.
"Odelay" by Beck.
"Fashion Nugget" by Cake.
"All The Pain Money Can Buy" by Fastball.
"Yourself Or Someone Like You" by Matchbox 20.
8. Top 5 90s alternative songs.
Again, in no order:
"No Rain" by Blind Melon. (Hell yea for making Top 10 of VH1's 100 Greatest One Hit Wonders! This is my favorite song in the entire world.)
"The Man Who Sold The World" by Nirvana.
"1979" by The Smashing Pumpkins.
"Brick" by Ben Folds Five.
"You Only Get What You Give" by the New Radicals. (Another Top 20, I believe, runner in 100 Greatest One Hit Wonders.)
9. Which 90s alternative band do you hate or like the least: I'm gonna go with Jane's Addiction. I liked all those songs that made it...but they go so annoying. I don't know, this one is kind of hard. But yea, I'll go with Jane's Addiction.
10. Most attractive/best looking 90s alternative musician: Dave Grohl.
11. Best voice?: Most of my favorite bands emcompass 90s alternative, so...I can't honestly pick one best voice, because I like so many. I don't know...this one I actually can't answer.
12. Most talent? I guess you mean Most Talented, but really, how can this one be answered? Obviously they were all talented enough to make it to radio in a time when a lot of the same sound was bounching around trying to get popular. I guess you could say the ones that are still around now? The ones that managed to keep band members alive? (Excluding Nirvana...Sublime...Blind Melon.) And not even that, the times have changed so much, and so many more people are craving the rap, pop, punk, emo, country...all the crap. Who knows who was more talented.
For me, I can only throw the term talented to the bands of our parents generation, who are still idolized today. People like the Rolling Stones, The Beatles, The Who, The Doors, Pink Floyd...all those AMAZING bands.
13. Tell a little about yourself. Just something to get to know you better: Umm, I just graduted. I'm a band nerd. I have over 200 CDs and 400 mp3s...mostly 90s bands and songs. Oh, one funny thing. I just recently purchased an iPod, and I uploaded all my 400 mp3s onto it. It automatically created a playlist for me, which I guess they do of similiar music, and stuff, and it only created one. The title of said playlist is "90s music". I thought that was kind of funny, myself.
Other favorite bands: Fastball, Blind Melon, Dave Matthews Band, Stroke 9, Semisonic, Smashing Pumpkins, Modest Mouse, The Who, Cake, Red Hot Chili Peppers, Barenaked Ladies, Weezer, Better Than Ezra, Oasis, the North Mississippi Allstars, Muse, Ben Folds Five, Five For Fighting, The Eels, Jet, Matchbox 20, Jack Johnson, New Radicals, Offspring, R.E.M., Sublime, They Might Be Giants, Robbie Williams...I think there are more. Yes.
(Oh, and if you're smart, you can name the lyrics and band that my livejournal name is from.)
14. Any other music genres you love?: Maybe you could say classic rock? I like music. Hell, I like anything with the exception of Rap and Country. And even then, the rules are bent for a few songs.
15. Post 3 or more pictures of yourself.

"Time is the most important factor in determining market movements and by studying the past records of the averages or individual stocks you will be able to prove for yourself that history does repeat and that by knowing the past you can tell the future. There is a definite relation between TIME and PRICE. Now, by a study of the TIME PERIODS and TIME CYCLES you will learn why tops and bottoms are found at certain times and why Resistance Levels are so strong at certain times and bottoms and tops hold around them. The most money is made when fast moves and extreme fluctuations occur at the end of major cycles." ~ William D Gann

COMMERCE CITY, Colo. (AP) — Conor Casey scored in the 74th minute and the Colorado Rapids tied 1-1 with the Kansas City on Saturday night, keeping the Wizards winless in Colorado since 2004.
Casey beat goalkeeper Jimmy Nielsen with a left-footed shot from just outside the area for Colorado, which has four ties and a loss since June 5.
Casey has seven of Colorado's 17 goals.
Davy Arnaud scored in the 20th minute for Kansas City, which last won in Colorado on June 9, 2004.
Kansas City has two ties in seven visits since then and is 1-8-6 overall at the Rapids.
Craig Rocastle found Arnaud alone along the sideline and the Wizards captain made a move on Colorado goalkeeper Matt Pickens just outside the crease before sending a low shot past Pickens' left hand.
Kei Kamara couldn't finish a chance to make it a two-goal lead early in the second half. His shot from inside the area went just right of the right post in the 54th minute.
Casey also hit the left post and missed a wide open net in the 89th minute.

now that's a good smoothie
One of the problems I consistently run into while bike commuting revolves around hunger. I have a sizable breakfast every morning before I get ready to leave my place. I pack a good lunch with a few smaller snacks to make sure I have enough to eat during the day. But I always hit a morning snag. I have tried eating a larger breakfast before I leave for work, but then my stomach is way too full and it is uncomfortable while on the bike.
And then I thought of a solution – bring a smoothie. But that brought up a new problem – how to keep it cold. Finally, I feel I have solved this problem.
This morning, I made a smoothie as I prepared my lunch for the day and poured it into one of my many water bottles.
While I finished getting ready for my morning commute, I put the water bottle in the freezer. Once I was ready to go, I grabbed the bottle and dropped it into my insulated water bottle holder that I picked up at a local REI store. These things are a great investment, especially if you spend any amount of time outdoors in the summer – or if you just live in Arizona.
Once I got to work this morning, I pull out the water bottle, and my smoothie was still frozen like a smoothie should be. It made for a great morning-starter instead of the usual coffee.

Marathi actor Vihang Nayak dies in car accidentJune 9th, 2008 - 3:44 pm ICT by IANS
Mumbai, June 9 (IANS) Veteran Marathi film and television actor Vihang Nayak died in a car accident on the Mumbai-Pune Expressway Monday. He was 58. The fatal mishap took place near Kalamboli on the expressway when Nayak was going to Baramati in Pune district to shoot for leading Marathi film director Sanjay Surkar's still untitled film.
The details of the accident are not yet known though there was no collision with another vehicle.
A familiar father-figure in millions of Marathi households through his popular ongoing TV serial "Awaghachi Sansar", Nayak was also actively involved in Mumbai's English theatre. He was doing a major role in Bharat Dabholkar's upcoming 'Hinglish' play "Ugly aur Pagli".
A civil engineer working for a private firm till recently, Nayak made his foray into acting with his role in Govind Nihalani's "Aakrosh" (1980). "God Only Knows" (2004) was another film in which he had played a memorable role.

Tustin High School baseball coach Charles Chatman said the 2014 season was one of the best the Tillers had in recent memory.
Tustin finished 16-16 overall – only the second time the program has finished at or above .500 in the past 10 years.
The Tillers also finished with a 7-5 mark in Empire League play – the first time Tustin finished above .500 since entering the league in the 2011 season.
The strong regular season led to a berth in the CIF-SS Division 2 playoffs, in which the Tillers defeated Burroughs of Burbank, 8-2, and then lost to No. 1-seeded Great Oak of Temecula, 12-3, to end their season.
Chatman said that the youthfulness of the Tustin roster showed early in the year, but he was pleased with the strides the team made.
"We started out the season pretty rough, at 1-4," he said. "We made a lot of young mistakes, but we got better as the year went on. We had a better understanding on how we impact the outcome of a baseball game."
Tustin will return six of its nine starters from this year's roster, but the impact of senior shortstop Adalberto Carrillo is one that will be greatly missed next season.
Carrillo hit .435 on the season with six home runs and 23 RBI, and Chatman said his presence was something from which the younger players were able to learn.
"It was like having another coach on the field," he said of Carrillo. "Losing a guy like that is tough; I don't know how you replace him. He's a special and talented kid that did a lot of good things for Tustin."
The Tillers also will lose starting pitcher Andrew Johnson, relief pitcher Andrew Nava, infielder Jonathan Montellano, outfielders Manny Ayala and Trey Ryan and utility player Rob Nelsen to graduation.
The returning core of players is one that is solid, led by center fielder Dailin Lee and infielders Nick Jacobson, Dustin Durand, Tony Barrios, David Bohorquez and Blake Akins.
Next year's pitching staff likely will be anchored by Barrios and Dalton Rasmussen, who both saw extended innings on the mound this year.
Chatman said that the biggest takeaway from this season that will help build toward next year is experience.
"Returning six starters is going to be huge for us," he said. "Finishing at .500 overall and 7-5 in the Empire League will give us a lot of confidence coming back next year."

Baum on Money: Greenspan Digs Deeper
Good morning, all. Here's a glance at what I'm reading to start my day.
Greenspan finds the answer in animal spirits.
Perhaps you've been trying to understand why most economists, including those at the Fed, missed the financial crisis. Alan Greenspan has the answer for you. In two words, animal spirits. The problem is that animal spirits are hard to measure, which means the behavior can't be modeled. And if you can't model it, then what? You aren't responsible for missing the financial crisis? Poor Greenspan. He keeps digging himself into a deeper hole.
Madame Chairman it is.
The U.S. Senate voted 56-26 last evening to confirm Janet Yellen as the first female chairman in the 100-year history of the Federal Reserve. Ben Bernanke will preside at the Fed's Jan. 28-29 meeting before departing. Yellen has been Vice Chairman since October 2010, served as a Fed governor in the mid-1990s and was president of the San Francisco Fed from 2004-2010. The transition should be smooth, which is more than one can say about the challenges the Fed faces over the next couple of years.
The year that central banks break ranks.
Reuters' Breaking Views says the policies of the world's major central banks are about to diverge, which matters more to financial markets than to the real economy. The Fed has started to move away from exceptional policy. If all goes according to plan, it could wind down its asset purchase program by the end of this year, putting the Fed funds rate back in charge as the policy instrument. Neither the ECB nor the BOJ is about to take the first baby steps in that direction. That said, monetary policy at all three central banks will remain highly stimulative.
How to subsidize homeownership, not debt.
Here's a novel idea: Use the tax system to create incentives to own a home, not to load up on debt. Tax expenditures for housing cost the U.S. $121 billion last year, which is bad enough. When one considers that those tax breaks for mortgage interest and such are inefficient and regressive, it makes sense to try something else. In a new paper for the Tax Policy Center, the authors propose a permanent first-time buyer's refundable credit; a flat annual subsidy for housing; and a flat-rate credit for property taxes paid. If the goal is to get people to buy homes, "any of these alternatives would be superior to the current deductions for mortgage interest and property taxes," the authors write.
Still shrinking after all these years.
A new report from the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services says U.S. health care spending as a share of GDP fell in 2012 to 17.2 percent from 17.3 in the prior year. What that means is, the 3.7 percent increase in health-care spending in 2012 was about a percentage point less than the growth in nominal GDP. The big question is why health care costs have increased so slowly -- less than 4 percent a year -- since 2009. Some of the candidates are: a residual from the recession; a shift to generic medications when patents on some popular drugs expired; and a reduction in Medicare payments to nursing homes. The White House took credit, but CMS says the Affordable Care Act had a "minimal" impact.

Jurco's hat trick paces Game 3 victoryby Randy Cleves / Detroit Red Wings
|Teemu Pulkkinen had a goal and two assists in the Griffins' 5-2 victory Tuesday at Van Andel Arena. (Photo by Mark Newman)
GRAND RAPIDS, Mich. – Tomas Jurco registered the sixth playoff hat trick in franchise history while Cory Emmerton and Teemu Pulkkinen also enjoyed three-point nights, leading the Grand Rapids Griffins to a 5-2 victory over the Texas Stars on Tuesday at Van Andel Arena.
Now trailing 1-2 in the best-of-seven series, the Griffins will try to maintain the home teams' perfect series record when they host Game 4 on Wednesday and Game 5 on Friday. Faceoff each night is at 7 p.m. EDT.
Jurco snapped the Griffins' scoreless streak at 102:46 early in the opening period, notching Grand Rapids' first goal since his own lamp-lighter during the second period of Game 1. Jurco dug the puck out from behind the net and quickly jammed a wraparound inside the right post at the 7:06 mark.
About four minutes later, Jurco sprang out of the penalty box, won a fight for the puck and skated in alone on Jack Campbell, but he lost control in close before he could get a shot off. He eventually tallied that second goal less than seven minutes after his first, taking a backdoor pass from Riley Sheahan and beating Campbell from below the right circle at 13:44.
Following intermission, Andrej Nestrasil needed just 25 seconds to push the Griffins' lead to 3-0, as he took a slick backward centering pass from Pulkkinen and solved Campbell from the slot.
Deft puck-handling by Emmerton led to a signature Pulkkinen rocket, the Griffins' fourth goal and a bit of rest for Campbell 8:23 into the frame, as Emmerton skated around a defender before dropping a pass to Pulkkinen for a blistering slap shot from the top of the right circle.
Christopher Nilstorp, who blanked Grand Rapids on 30 saves in Game 2, entered the contest and nearly witnessed his squad get on the board, but an apparent Stars goal at the 11:06 mark was quickly waved off by the referee due to incidental contact with goaltender Petr Mrazek.
Jurco finished off the Griffins' first playoff hat trick in more than seven years with 3:53 remaining in the period. Following hard work by Mitch Callahan and Sheahan to keep control of the puck deep in the Texas zone, Sheahan found Jurco all alone to the right of the net for Grand Rapids' first three-goal playoff performance since Matt Ellis did the deed on April 21, 2007 at Manitoba.
Jurco's three goals and Sheahan's two assists gave each of them 20 career playoff points, tying them with Jan Mursak for ninth place on the franchise's all-time playoff scoring list.
With Campbell back between the Stars' pipes to start the third, the visitors quickly made things interesting. Former Griffin Mike Hedden ruined Mrazek's shutout bid on a partial breakaway 2:24 into the period, lifting the puck over the netminder's blocker, before Brendan Ranford tallied his fourth goal of the series by whipping a shot home from the slot at 5:47.
The Griffins denied the Stars' mighty power-play unit after Nick Jensen was whistled off for delay of game at 6:08 then held firm the rest of the way, despite Texas' 12-3 shot advantage over the final 20 minutes.
Mrazek, who passed Jimmy Howard into sole possession of first place among Griffins goalies with his 31st career playoff game, finished with 35 saves. Campbell stopped 15 of 19 shots in the loss, while Nilstorp turned aside two of three in relief.
GAME NOTES: Thanks to the win, the Griffins still have not lost three consecutive games in regulation all season, through 83 regular season and playoff contests. … In two seasons under coach Jeff Blashill, the Griffins are now 10-2 when they're within two losses of playoff elimination. … Of the 285 teams in AHL history that trailed 1-2 in a best-of-seven, 75 (26.3 percent) went on to win the series. The last team to accomplish the feat was the 2013 Griffins against Oklahoma City in the Western Conference finals. … The attendance of 4,293 represented an increase of 57 percent over the Griffins' crowd for Game 3 of the 2013 Western Conference semifinals against Toronto (2,738).
THREE STARS: 1. GR Tomas Jurco (hat trick); 2. GR Teemu Pulkkinen (goal, two assists); 3. GR Petr Mrazek (W, 35 saves).

I don't know exactly how many bikinis Devin Brugman owns, but it's a bunch. And a good thing too, for when you set about to hit Miami Beach and get attention for your young curvy bikini body for an entire week, you're going to need a little eye-catching wardrobe. Devin most definitely brings that.
Now I may be not demographically aligned with Instagram, but I can more than see how Devin has become quite the breakout star in that social media visual frenzy. She has got the tools and then some. We haven't heard her speak yet, just gauging whether or not that's a net positive for Ms. Brugman. Enjoy.

Bret Slater's paintings are so cake. He must be using a knife to spread on the thick paint like frosting.
And his rectangle format reminds me of sheet cakes my mother used to make, only the abstraction
is not decorative, but minimal. Usually, Slater sticks to a two color format. In your average artist's
painting, the colors he uses would complement each other, but Slater manages to make these
colors do combat. Either the texture or the shapes energize the colors.
|© 2007-2012 moderndallas.net. - all rights reserved.
|One could make the mistake that Slater is playing with the edges of kitsch, but I see him
combining forms of minimalism, colorfield painting, and a bit of expressionist stylings to form
a very plastic object. His work is about painting and the traditions of the discipline, however,
instead of a serious academic approach, he is attempting to have fun with the tradition. Not
make fun, or be Post Modern ironic, but celebrating painting through style and technique.

$1200 Travel Trailer Renovation
In 2009, a Nicolette was given a 60 year old travel trailer that had been abandoned on a friends property. All she had to do was remove it. One year and 900 euros later, Nicolette now has herself a nice little house on wheels.
After hauling the trailer to her property, Nicolette began the renovation. Using salvaged parts, borrowed tools and a lot of ingenuity, she transformed the above trailer into a functional and lovely space in which to live.
See the detailed story of the renovation at her blog Clickclackgorilla.
