- It's beautiful. It's amply wide enough for cyclists of varying speeds to maneuver around each other and since it's only one-way, people won't have to worry about moving back over and cutting off the person they just passed. This frequently happens on the two-way 15th Street cycle track and it will be a welcome change. Unfortunately, it's also wide enough for someone to drive or park a car in. This is problematic. Curtailing this will require considerable driver education and considerable enforcement.
|This gentleman needed to go to CVS.
- Bollards everywhere but the mixing zones (and parking garage entrances). This is a protected lane, meaning that there's some physical separation between cyclists and drivers. Obviously, this provides an extra level of comfort and the perception of safety.
- The mixing zones aren't terrible. My biggest concern about the design of this lane has been, and continues to be, the mixing zones, where car traffic merges across the bike lanes so drivers can make a left turn. Traffic was fairly light this morning (and not irrevocably snarled, as some of our finer media outlets might have predicted) and I didn't have any trouble negotiating the mixing zone with any drivers, mostly because I didn't arrive at any at the same time as any drivers. There will definitely be a learning curve here for all users. My biggest concern about the mixing zones isn't for when traffic is moving quickly, but rather when volume is heavier and drivers, in an attempt to move to the left, block it. This will be annoying. I also wouldn't mind if there were some bollards on the inside of the solid green painted area, providing a bit of a buffer between the track and the turning cars.
- The intersections aren't painted or striped. There's a green painted area at the end of the bike lane, but no stripes or paint across the numerical cross streets. I think that some road striping that "suggests" how cyclists should move back to the left would be very beneficial. At one intersection, I had a driver to my left who was making a left turn and a driver to my right who was proceeding straight. In an attempt to accommodate the guy on my left, I stayed pretty much in line with the green patch when I rode forward and this put me rather close to the driver on my right. Some additional road stripes that indicated where I was supposed to be would make this clearer for everyone.
- There are a lot of parking garages on L Street and this is going to be an issue. In order for drivers to access the parking garages, they'll need to drive across the bike lane. This creates more opportunity for potential conflicts and everyone will need to use abundant caution in order to abate this. I worry more about the afternoon rush than the morning one- when the garages empty and drivers need to "poke" their cars out into the cycle track in order to get a clear view on oncoming traffic. This happens on 15th too and I can't really think of a way to avoid it. Drivers will need to learn to look for cyclists and vice versa. Likewise, drivers will need to learn not to block the cycle track while awaiting their turn. Another thing I saw drivers do was to pull into the cycle track before making the left turn into the parking garage. This is a problem that could be solved with a centrally placed bollard at the "entrances" at each intersection. Or just with learning and time.
- Cycle tracks are great pedestrian refuges. Can't make it all the way across the street when you jaywalk? Chill on the cycle track. Again, nothing new here. Just something that will happen.
- Hotel loading zones. There are a few places along the way where the cycle track gives way to 30 Minute Hotel Loading Zones. Obviously, this is less than ideal.
- The (temporary) problem of the unfinished lane. This will only be a concern for another few weeks, but right now the unfinished lane (the parts without the bollards) look like a regular narrow bike lane next to a regular wide travel lane and this might prove confusing to both cyclists and drivers. Like I said, this problem will go away soon, but just keep that in mind if you ride it in the next few weeks.

WASHINGTON, June 21 (UPI) -- The U.S. Supreme Court ruled 6-3 Monday that juries not judges should determine the facts under which a criminal fine is calculated.
Houston-based Southern Union Co., a natural gas distributor, was convicted by a federal jury on one count of violating the Resource Conservation and Recovery Act of 1976 for having knowingly stored liquid mercury without a permit at a subsidiary's Rhode Island facility.
Violations of RCRA are punishable by a fine of not more than $50,000 for each day of violation.
At sentencing, the probation office calculated a maximum fine of $38.1 million on the assumption that Southern Union violated RCRA for each of the 762 days from Sept. 19, 2002, through Oct. 19, 2004.
But Southern Union argued that imposing any fine greater than the 1-day penalty of $50,000 would be unconstitutional under the Supreme Court's 2000 decision in Apprendi vs. New Jersey, which says the Sixth Amendment's trial-by-jury guarantee requires that any fact -- other than a prior conviction -- that increases the maximum punishment authorized for a particular crime has to be proved to a jury beyond a reasonable doubt.
Based on the jury verdict and the judge's instructions, Southern Union argued, the only violation the jury necessarily found was for one day. The trial judge ruled that Apprendi applies to criminal fines, but concluded from the "content and context of the verdict all together" that the jury found a 762-day violation. The judge set a fine of $6 million and a "community service obligation" of $12 million. A federal appeals court ruled that Apprendi does not apply to criminal fines, disagreeing with the judge that the jury necessarily found a violation of 762 days, but confirmed the sentence.
The majority opinion written by Justice Sonia Sotomayor throws out the lower court ruling and sends the case back down for a new ruling in line with the opinion.
"The Sixth Amendment reserves to juries the determination of any fact, other than the fact of a prior conviction, that increases a criminal defendant's maximum potential sentence," Sotomayor wrote, citing Apprendi. " ... We have applied this principle in numerous cases where the sentence was imprisonment or death. The question here is whether the same rule applies to sentences of criminal fines. We hold that it does."

Unfortunate Misspelled 'SHCOOL' Sign Finally Fixed [VIDEO]
In New York City, a misspelling on a crosswalk outside a Manhattan high school has some people worrying about the future of education. According to the city, utility workers incorrectly spelled the word "school" on a crosswalk after performing a repair last summer.
Yesterday, however, one day after the New York Post reported the error, a utility crew was on hand to correct the obvious mistake. There's a lesson to be learned here, kids. Stay in "shcool."

Chroder necesitaba un nuevo diseño de logotipo y lanzó un concurso de diseño en 99designs.
Un ganador ha sido elegido entre 73 diseños de 35 diseñadores freelance.
We want a professional looking and somewhat simple logo and Stationery for new web software company.
Desired Color Scheme:
Blue or multiple colored (see description)
Desired Style:
We want to portray a professional image with the logo. It needs to be somewhat simple (just a "thing" and our company name). We aren't interested in characters or mascots.
Accepted File Formats:
What We Want
What we want is something professional looking, modern and catchy, but also somewhat simple. We like the format where we have the company name on the right, with the logo on the left.
What We Like
Here are some logos we like:
* A lot of the "Web 2.0" logos catch our eye: http://web2logo.com/
* 37signals: http://www.37signals.com/
* Interspire: http://www.interspire.com/
* Ubisoft: http://www.ubi.com/ENCA/default.aspx
* RedHat: http://www.redhat.com/
* Windows Vista's logo
A couple of requirements/ideas:
* The logo needs to look good in pure black/white
* Needs to look good when scaled down small
* The company name 'Outershift' should be either all uppercase, all lowercase or with the O capitalized (I personally think all lowercase looks cool). The company is all one word, but if you can be creative by playing around with 'outer' and 'shift' being two then go ahead (for example, make each side a different color).
* The company name doesn't really mean anything, so I don't think a real-world object is something that will work well.
* Color: Something blue if there's a prominent color. But if it is multicolor (see Interspire for what I mean), that's okay too. But we are pretty flexible with colors.
* We want something modern and sharp. We're not too fond of some of the overly glossy web2.0 logos, but we really like how some of them are simple and modern. We don't want to look like a company from the 80's, but we also don't want to look like an Mac OSX glossy button.
* Needs to be vector format
All we want is a catchy business card and a neat and usable letterhead.
The business card should display our logo, and have places for a name, an email address and a phone number. The website will be http://www.outershift.com, which should be on there somewhere. And we prefer the business card to be single sided, but if it looks really cool double-sided then that's okay too.
The letterhead should feature the logo, a place for a phone number, email address and the website address.
About Our Company
We're a new software company focused on web applications for normal webmasters. You could compare us to Interspire with their line of useful web apps. We also will be offering custom programming services (custom apps, extensions to existing apps). At this time we are not targeting enterprise companies.
Final Note
If you have an idea that goes against what we say, please reply! We're programmers, I think our creative side is lacking by default ;)

Beginning this week, the five column by 16 inch pages are being replaced by a full broadsheet (six columns by 20 inch). It will be the same size as daily newspapers and most weekly newspapers.
In fact, the new San Juan Record will be the exact size as the Salt Lake Tribune and Deseret News because it will be printed on the same press as the Salt Lake City dailies.
The paper will continue to be printed on high-quality hi-brite paper. Most newspapers are printed on cheaper (and messier) newsprint. Hi-brite resists yellowing and holds color extremely well.
Holding color is important since there will be full color available on every page of the paper. After many years of no color and several years of occasional color, the San Juan Record will now be printed in full color every week.
While there are many changes in the look of the paper, there are no changes in our news stand, subscription or advertising rates.
It may take awhile to adjust to the new size and format of the paper. Please be patient with us. Give us a call if you have any constructive criticism or good ideas. We want to make this move advantageous to our readers and our advertisers.
The redesign is the culmination of 18 months of hard work that has quietly changed how we do business. The San Juan Record website, sjrnews.com, averages more than 10,000 hits per month. The website allows us to provide expanded coverage of many important issues and free coverage of main stories.
The addition of Scott Burton as the San Juan Record sales manager helps us better meet the needs of local businesses.
In addition to the changes in the newspaper, with the opening of our bookstore, the San Juan Record is now the largest bookstore in San Juan County. We hope to significantly expand our inventory of regional and general books in 2008.
We appreciate your support and look forward to a bigger, brighter and more colorful 2009.

Bulgaria's soccer stars have been filing tax returns claiming they make the league minimum, and the Bulgarian IRS is investigating. But who tipped off the feds? Their WAGs, flaunting their wealth.
A full 261 players in Bulgaria's "A Grupa" are under scrutiny after declaring their salaries as the monthly minimum of 220 levs, or about $157. That doesn't gibe with the high life that their wives are leading:
Officials from the National Revenue Agency were impressed by the players' wives TV appearances, in which they don't miss to brag about the expensive cars of their husbands and all the possessions they have, reports say.
I think A Grupa needs a new players union, when some players are living it up while others are getting by on $1900 a year. Proof that capitalism doesn't work; under the old system, everyone would have been making the minimum, and every player would be driving a new Trabant.

Lend Me A Tenor, The Chieftains: The Irish Goodbye
Events February 23-February 26, 2020
Various Authors noon, Feb. 16
Hey Matt,
I'm curious about the mural on the north wall of the "1111 Sixth Avenue" building. It's an "America's Finest City" newspaper with a partially finished picture of Burt Lancaster. The newspaper date is Monday, March 27, 2050. My computer says March 27th will be a Sunday. Do you know anything about it?
— J, via email
The mural's been there on the Arte Building for a while. Kathleen King and Paul Naton painted it in 1989. I have it on good authority that the face on the mural isn't Burt Lancaster. The man's name is Matthew Tighe. He was working as a model in SD and he was picked for being the classic "American mutt" with a mixture of some 14-odd ethnic groups swimming around in his DNA. Multiculturalism and concern over racial tension is emblematic of the early '90s "culture war," which led to movies like PCU being made (in addition to a lot of good things), but it's no less topical in 2012.
The idea behind the piece is that "America's Finest City" is a nickname that San Diego was (is?) still in the process of earning. In '89, the slogan was a newbie and the city was still trying it on for size. The content of the mural was King's idea and she credits the late developer Chris Mortenson with giving her artistic freedom on the project. The message of the piece is that, if San Diego is really going to live up to the title of "finest," the city has to embrace art as an element of public life. Looking back 20 years later, King (now working out in Colorado) still stands by the theory that a great city must have great art and that the only way to make a city grand is to focus on improving the lives of the people who live there. For her, public art is a big part of that quality of life.
March 27, 2050, will be the bicentennial anniversary of San Diego's incorporation. The implication is that there's a lot of history to be written before the San Diego story is anything like finished.
There's a tendency in city planning, invisible to most of us, for public art to be commissioned that glorifies some aspect of the town — be it history, natural resources, or whatever. For example, to make the city look good for tourists, San Diego developers would want to see murals that depict, like, happy Kumeyaay indians, surfers, trolley cars, and the USS Midway. I'm just pulling random images out of the air, but I think you get the picture. Make it tourist-friendly.
Now, where have I heard that before?
The even more extreme form would be to craft outright advertisements that pose as artwork. Go take a look at the "mural" on the wall around the corner from El Zarape in University Heights. It's really a Newcastle beer advertisement made to look like street art, and that rubs artists the wrong way. For a lot of them, art doesn't represent the interest of business. If anything, it rejects it. King's message from '89 still resonates.
Enigmatic response here to a good question. You say "led to movies like PCU being made" but what are you talking about? And the rest of the explanation of the mural seems like a stretch.
"America's Finest City" was a defensive response from City Hall back in the day to political scandal that led to cancellation of a GOP convention here. The term has been used ever since either ironically or sincerely, depending on your political orientation. Presumably the artists were being ironic.
Would that I had the column inches to blather on a bit about the "culture war" of the early nineties, the rise of PC, and the politically tricky complications of third-wave feminism and multiculturalism, among other things! There are graduate seminars devoted to the subject for good reasons. Let's suffice to say that I merely wanted to evoke the political and academic climate of late-80's and early-90's leftist America as a way to frame up the genesis of this mural in the culture of the time.
As for the reasons behind the mural, I can't fault KK her own explanation! I think there was a mixture of irony involved in the beginning, but that was always tempered by a degree of optimism on the part of the artist. There was hope that SD would grow into the moniker and I don't think that the artist would have lifted a brush without a little faith in the message.
Yes, hello, artist here. You think my explanation of my work is a stretch? Again, column inches... The piece has layers of meaning including aging/inadequate infrastructure being ignored while the city focused on courting an ever increasing influx of tourism, efforts to turn the city into a giant theme park, catering solely to the interests of tourists while city services failed to meet the needs of residents, pricing artists out of the downtown loft spaces they had renovated so developers could turn them into $500k condos, etc. How much time do you have? San Diego did host the GOP convention in 1996 and covered up my mural that spanned a corner at Fifth and Broadway because it contained famous quotations on the subject of peace and planners feared that art about peace might offend Republican sensibilities. Has San Diego grown up, or is it still sucking up? At the optimistic age of 25 I was hoping that growth would beget cultural/civic maturity.
Are you claiming to be only 25 y/o???

June 10, 2014 when it all started. Sheila Shanti had been weaving my artworks without a break for three years from her studio in Portland Maine (and later Seattle) when she finally sent a letter saying that she was ready to retire… offering to sell me her two AVL looms + equipment + lessons for everyone in my studio. We had been using this part of my studio to homeschool Emmett but he was getting ready to transition into public school so we actually had the space too. It's been a crazy ride ever since. (and thanks to Craig's list and a growing loom obsession we've expanded from two looms to six, compounding the complicates as we go along!)

Despite the holiday rush I knew I just had to make some time to do some sketching when I saw that the St. Louis Drawing & Painting Meetup group was headed to the Temperate House at the Missouri Botanical Garden this past Saturday afternoon. It was chilly outdoors but very comfortable inside the glass covered space that is filled with fountains, climbing green vines, palmettos, giant jade trees, ripe oranges hanging from tree branches and flowering plants of all types set within a classical garden that could easily be a set for a Shakesperean play. Fellow sketcher Brian Anderson organized the event and was on hand to snap photos of the happy artists having a great time. He was kind enough to post this one of me drawing with a Nomad brush on iPad. Happy holidays and best wishes to all my USK Midwest friends!

An eight-foot-long, rarely observed "oarfish" has been seen by a remote vessel off the coast of Mexico, according to a report published June 5 in the Journal of Fish and Biology.
Its scientific name is Regalecus glesne and it is the longest known bony fish in the world. Scientists estimate this one to be 2.55 meters (~8 feet), and said the creature's blunt tail appeared to have lost some flesh.
Some estimates claim that it can grow to 15 meters (~49 ft), but the longest recorded specimens are only 7 to 8 meters long (a piddly 26 feet!).
Scientists know little about the fish, which is thought to live in relatively deep water (between 300 and 1000 feet below the surface). Most of what they do know comes from sick or dead specimens found floating near the surface of the ocean or washed up on beaches.
A rather unexpected partnership with offshore oil drillers has allowed ocean scientists to pilot remote vehicles in waters normally too deep or far from shore for most divers or explorers.
Here is a video from the paper (the good views start around the five minute mark):
Here's another image of an oarfish, taken of US servicemen holding a 23-foot (7.0 m) Giant Oarfish, found washed up on the shore near San Diego, California in 1996:

Motorola has reached out to developers with its MotorolaRhoElements web-based application framework in an effort to populate the breeding ground for apps on many of its current devices. The new framework is aligned for the development of web-based applications on Motorola devices running Windows Embedded Handheld (formerly known as Windows Mobile) and Windows Embedded Compact (Win-CE) mobile computers as well as Motorola's recently announced ET1 Android-based enterprise tablet.
RhoElements has been engineered to use the company's own PocketBrowser product, a framework suited to web-based line-of-business applications. Motorola is fairly open about its commercial strategy and has identified applications on existing Windows-based industrial mobile computers as a defined target for this technology. The company wants to see developers using RhoElements to enable the transition from terminal emulation solutions (or legacy browser-based applications), to more powerful and user-friendly web-based applications.
The first version of RhoElements will provide support for the Motorola enterprise tablet (ET1) running the Android operating system and Motorola mobile devices running Windows Embedded Handheld 6.5, Windows Embedded CE 5 and 6, and Windows Embedded Compact 7.
"With the introduction of RhoElements, the acquisition of Rhomobile, and our overall developer tools strategy, Motorola Solutions is helping to position the enterprise mobile computing industry for the future by reducing the impact of operating system disruption and easing the pain of migration from legacy solutions to the next generation of devices and applications in the market," said Suhas Uliyar, chief solutions architect for mobile computing, Motorola Solutions.

Formerly known as Tsarskoye Selo (Царское Село), the "Czar's Village", Pushkin is known for its numerous imperial parks and palaces.
Get in[edit]
Local trains run from St. Petersburg's Vitebskiy station (not the main hall, but the smaller hall for local trains to the right and around the corner as you face the main hall) to the Detskoe Selo station in Pushkin. A round-trip train ticket costs 72 Rubles, and trains run at 15-20 minute intervals starting at 6:00am until midnight except:
- Leaving St. Petersburg, there is no train service between 10:00am and 12:00 noon on weekdays. The trains during that interval only operate on weekends and holidays; trains outside that interval run 7 days per week. Note that ALL LOCAL TRAINS leaving the Vitebskiy Station stop at Detskoe Selo and Pavlovsk; this makes it a bit easier for non-Russian speakers, since you don't have to worry about which train to board even though different trains go to different terminus stations.
- Returning from Pushkin toward St. Petersburg, there is a gap in service between 12:30pm and 2:30pm weekdays, although trains do operate during that interval on weekends and holidays.

Catherine Palace [2]: entry fee is 350 Rubles for foreigners. If you are not with a tour group, the palace is only open to individuals during limited hours: 12:00 to 2:00pm and 4:00pm to 5:00pm. However, if there is a dearth of tour groups during the appointed hours for groups (i.e. 10:00am - noon and 2:00pm to 4:00pm), the palace does allow individuals enter during those times. This is more likely to happen in the off-season, such as deep winter, and not at all likely in the summer. To get there, take bus 371 or 382 from the Detskoye Selo train station.

The Catherine Palace has a rather expensive cafe inside near the cloak rooms.
A clean, reasonably-priced restaurant called "Italian Pizza" with a variety of good food - from pizza to hamburgers to salads to sushi - is located in the square in front of the train station.

The act of defecating in a dream can indicate that one has unloaded something one has been carrying around. Alternatively, natural self-expression. We can also feel "defecated on." From a psychoanalytic point of view, toilet training is a major step in one's development, so defecating has multiple interpretations.

CHICAGO — It's finally looking like winter in the Midwest as the season's first big snowstorm crawls across the region, leaving skiers and snow-reliant businesses giddy but greeting morning commuters Friday with a sloppy, slippery drive.
After starting as one of the warmest and brownest winters in recent history, parts of Wisconsin, Iowa and Missouri were blanketed in white before the storm moved into Illinois and Michigan.
Snowplow drivers were out in force overnight in Chicago, as six to eight inches of snow and plummeting temperatures moved in.
Nearly 15 inches was expected across parts of northern Indiana by mid-day, and residents in Michigan's Upper Peninsula were bracing for more than a foot before the storm continued its eastward roll through Ohio and into New England.
The blast of arctic air stretched southward from the northern Plains, through the Midwest and then toward the East Coast, according to The Weather Channel.

Friday morning throughout the area wasn't set to hit record cold temperatures, but it would be colder than it has been, it said.
In a typical year, such a storm would hardly register in the Upper Midwest. But the atmospheric patterns, including the Pacific pattern known as La Nina, that have conspired to make this an unusually icy winter in Alaska have kept it abnormally warm in parts of the lower 48 states used to more snow.
For Steve Longo, a 47-year-old chiropractor from Wauwatosa, Wis., the wait to try out the cross country skis he got for Christmas was excruciating. He and friend Alex Ng, 56, wasted no time in hitting the trails at the Lapham Peak cross country ski area, about 25 miles west of Milwaukee.
"I wasn't worried," Longo said. "I was just anxious."
"This is Wisconsin," a confident Ng said. "There's going to be snow."
The storm left 2 to 6 inches of snow on eastern Iowa by Thursday evening, and was expected to drop 3 to 8 inches total on southern Wisconsin and northern Illinois as it moves further into the Northeast on Friday, according to Richard Castro, a National Weather Service meteorologist.
STORY: First winter blast hits Midwest, Northeast
While the dry weather has been an unexpected boon to many cash-strapped communities, which have saved big by not having to pay for plowing, salting and sanding their streets, it has hurt seasonable businesses that bank on the snow.
"If people don't see it in their yards they are not likely to come out and ski and snowboard so this is wonderful, wonderful, wonderful for us," Kim Engel, owner of Sunburst Ski area in Kewaskum in southeastern Wisconsin, said as she watched the snow come down out the window.
'I love it'
Rob Moser, a snowplow driver from Elkhart, Ind., said he couldn't wait for the flakes to start falling. The weather service said lake effect snow could mean parts of Michigan and northern Indiana could get up to a foot.
"I love it. I make money plowing snow and I'm all about snowmobiling, so I love it," Moser said. "We haven't had enough snow to do much."
The storm was an annoyance for most commuters, and authorities said it caused hundreds of traffic accidents and at least three road deaths — two in Iowa and one in Missouri. And while some lucky grade-schoolers cheered an unexpected day of sledding, hundreds of would-be air travelers had to scramble to come up with a Plan B.
More than 400 flights were canceled at O'Hare International Airport in Chicago on Thursday, according to the Chicago Department of Aviation. Across town at Midway International Airport, more than 100 flights were canceled.
Tornado rips through N.C. towns, injuring 15
In New York state, the storm dumped up to 8 inches of snow on the southern Adirondack Mountains and forced scores of schools to cancel or delay the start of classes. Until Thursday's storm, Albany had received only 6.5 inches of snow this winter, which is about 10 inches less than it normally gets, according to the weather service.
The ice and snow may have caused headaches for travelers, but 44-year-old Mike Norman, of Evanston, Ill., said the snow was long overdue. Norman co-founded Chicago Endurance Sports, which offers a Winter Warriors program to help runners stay committed to their training and teach them about the right gear for winter.
But because of the unseasonably warm weather — temperatures exceeded 50 degrees on Wednesday — the program hasn't really geared up, he said.
"It's one of my favorite times of year to run. It's clean. It's crisp. It's quiet," Norman said. "It's fun to put footsteps in the fresh snow."
Lisa Taylor, the director of the North American Vasa cross-country ski race near Traverse City, Mich., said the storm, which pushed into the area Thursday night, would help reinforce the thick base of snow on the rolling trails that they needed for races.
"There's been a great feeling of confidence that we'd get some good snow," Taylor said. "Up in the hilly areas where the trails are, there's already more snow than you'd think."
The Associated Press and Reuters contributed to this report.

I hope this is the end of it for this year.
I have no picture but I think you'll get the idea. I went fishing today June 15, 2011 even though it was raining when I left for the river at 4:30 AM. It was also only 40 degrees down on the water and the rain was a cold one. The past two days have been good with a 28 pound salmon caught on Monday followed by a 40 on Tuesday so I figured to go 3 for 3. You are only allowed 5 king salmon annually in Alaska and only one may be harvested on

Another Day Another Chance
On another morning I found myself sitting in the boat at 4:10 AM watching another bottleneck that feed into another huge pool. The regulations prohibit fishing for salmon between 11:00 PM and 6:00 AM so I had elected to spend a couple hours looking for fish. It didn't take long before I spotted a wake and realized there were a bunch in the head of the pool. I cast for 2 hours and 55 minutes with the Skykomish that is tied to my line in this picture.

Ive decided to write in larger text to see how I like the look of it. It has been an interesting time for the past seven days here. I have fished six of the seven and was off for a day while I broke a camp and changed rivers. My first camp and river afforded beautiful scenery and good weather.

On Wednesday the 13th of July I took a ride on my favorite river looking for some sockeye salmon. I knew there would be some chum in and maybe even a few late kings that might take a fly so with a beautiful sunny day coming about I was on the water at 10:00 AM. I knew where I was headed because the fish take the same route every year and seem to hold in the same spots. From where I launched I stayed on the shallow side of the river and traveled slow watching carefully the deeper channel on my left

Chief Justice John Roberts begins his opinion in McCutcheon v. FEC with a flourish: "[t]here is no right more basic in our democracy than the right to participate in electing our political leaders." He then spends the next forty pages explaining why that participation includes the right of rich people to attempt to buy elections. Thanks to the decision Roberts and his four fellow conservative justices handed down today (Though Thomas did not join Roberts' opinion, he wrote a more radical opinion calling for all limits on campaign donations to be eviscerated), wealthy donors now have a broad new power to launder money to political candidates — they just have to be a bit creative about how they do it.
Prior to Wednesday's opinion, federal law placed two complementary limits on campaign donors. During the current election cycle, donors may give no more than $5,200 per election cycle ($2,600 for the primary and another $2,600 for the general) to a given federal candidate, and there are also higher limits on how much they can give to party committees and political action committees. These limits remain intact.
What McCutcheon invalidates are aggregate limits on the total amount of money that donors may give to all federal candidates ($48,600) and to all political committees ($74,600). Thus, before Wednesday, donors could spend as much as $123,200 seeking to influence the 2014 election cycle — now they can spend as much as they want. Make no mistake, this decision benefits no one except for a handful of very wealthy donors (and the candidates they give to). Who else can say that they've already given more than a hundred thousand dollars worth of donations and that they are upset that they cannot give even more?
A major purpose of the aggregate limits was to prevent money laundering schemes that could enable donors and political parties to evade the cap on donations to individual candidates. In dissent, Justice Stephen Breyer lays out what some of these schemes could look like. The Democratic or Republican Party, in one example, may set up a "Joint Party Committee" consisting of all three of their national party committees and a state party committee from each of the 50 states. Under McCutcheon, a single donor may now give as much as $1.2 million to this joint committee, which would then be distributed to the various smaller party organizations.
Once the money is distributed, however, it can legally be redistributed to the races where it is likely to have the most impact. Thus, for example, the Republican Party committees in safe red states like Idaho, Utah or Mississippi — where large infusions of money aren't exactly needed to win elections — can redistribute their funds to battleground states like Ohio or Florida. Meanwhile, blue state Democratic committees in Vermont and Rhode Island can do the same.
Similarly, the same wealthy donor might decide to write a maximum dollar donation to every single Republican House and Senate candidate in the country — perhaps by writing a single $2.4 million check to the same "Joint Party Committee" which then distributes the funds. Once this money is distributed, candidates in safe seats can then redistribute at least some of it to candidates in disputed seats — and the rest can frequently be used to benefit candidates in tough races through "coordinated expenditures."
Roberts denies that these money laundering schemes will actually arise, but many of the arguments he raises to defend this point betray his own naiveté how modern elections work. The Chief Justice argues, for example, that for these money laundering schemes to work a donor would have to engage in "illegal earmarking" — federal law prohibits a donor from "directing funds 'through an intermediary or conduit' to a particular candidate." But a wealthy donor does not need to earmark his donations for these money laundering schemes to work. Indeed, it is in both the donor's interest and the party's interest if the donor does not do so. A donor will typically want his money to go to the candidates who are most likely to benefit from his money — those in closely contested races. By donating to a joint party committee, the donor gives their party more flexibility to redirect their money to the candidates who appear most in need as the election approaches.
Similarly, Roberts claims that "[t]he Government provides no reason to believe that many state parties would willingly participate in a scheme to funnel money to another State's candidates." But this argument assumes that each state Democratic or Republican Party is an island. If Republicans control the Senate, Mississippi's Republican senators have more clout and Mississippi Republicans benefit. The same applies to Rhode Island's Democratic senators when Democrats control the Senate. America has two national parties and it has a national legislature. When Iowa elects Republicans to Congress, that makes it more likely that Republicans in Mississippi will see their preferred policies enacted into law.
Roberts does, however, raise one fairly strong argument in support of his belief that wealthy donors will not resort to complicated money laundering schemes — thanks to the line of cases culminating in Citizens United, they won't have to. Before McCutcheon, wealthy donors basically had free reign to spend as much money as they wanted seeking to influence elections, just as long as they give that money to "independent" organizations such as super PACs. In light of this body of law, why would a candidate resort to an elaborate money laundering scheme when they can simply write a check to the super PAC of their choice?
It's a good question, and not an easy one to answer. But it's hardly an argument for eliminating even more limits on how far the wealthy can go to influence elections. If allowing a single person to spend millions of dollars to change the outcome of an election is a bad idea, then it is a bad idea no matter what kind of legal regime permits that spending to take place.

All aboard the California State Railroad Museum's popular excursion railroadThe Sacramento Southern Railroad
2020 marks the 37th consecutive season the excursion trains have been operating in Old Sacramento. Train rides include closed coach cars, open-air gondolas and a first-class observation car pulled by either Granite Rock No. 10 steam locomotive or one of our vintage diesel locomotives from the Museum's collection.
About the Sacramento Southern Railroad
Since 1984, more than one million guests have taken a ride aboard the Sacramento Southern Railroad, served by all-volunteer crews fully trained and certified under Federal Railroad Administration regulations. Each spring, the Sacramento Southern Railroad takes center stage as visitors enjoy the sights, smells and sounds of authentic locomotives as they roll along the levees of the Sacramento River. Appealing to all ages, the experience offers guests the chance to experience train travel from an earlier era.
Perhaps the most dynamic way to experience railroading is to actually ride a train, as many visitors to the California State Railroad Museum can attest. Since 1982, excursion trains have been a popular offering along the Sacramento waterfront and a rewarding activity for those involved in the myriad, related tasks of construction and refurbishment, operation and maintenance. But what has it taken to get to this point, and where does the name "Sacramento Southern Railroad" come from anyway?

Quadruple amputee takes home bronze at World Championships
Josh Kennison won bronze in 100-meter dash
A South Paris man is adding his name to the long list of decorated track and field athletes from Maine after winning a bronze medal at the International Paralympic World Championships two weeks ago.
Josh Kennison is a quadruple amputee below his knees and past his elbows. He was also born without part of his tongue and jaw.
Undaunted, Kennison won the bronze in the 100-meter dash.
"I just love the sound of the gun on the track or the whistle," said Kennison.
He ran track and played soccer in high school, but did so on a walking prosthetic. His life changed when he tried what he calls running legs.
"I put them on. All of a sudden I was wanting to run every day. In middle school and high school I had to run in my walking legs. Already had the muscle in my legs, I was just running really fast," said Kennison.
In his first amputee meet, Kennison finished in the top three in two running events. Three years later, he finished in the top three in the world.
"Now that I took home the bronze in the 100, now my name is out there, people know who I am out there, it's exciting,' said Kennison.
Away from the track, Kennison is heavily involved with Camp No Limits, which is geared toward kids with limb loss and their families.
"I just like to inspire the kids, and honestly, that's why I am here today, I love to inspire,' said Kennison.
Kennison said he wants to return to the world championships and possibly the Paralympics in 2016.
"Growing up, my parents never told me I couldn't. I have always tried to have that mindset, once I got into running, there are the guys out there, no knees, whatever there handicap is, out there running. I see kids out there. Really it's the world that inspires me, the people who don't have it as well as I do," said Kennison.

Affinity Group Inc. (AGI), the nation's largest provider of outdoor recreation clubs, services, media and events, today (Oct. 1) unveiled a new look for Woodalls.com, an online resource providing relevant RV and RV camping information to outdoor enthusiasts of all ages.
Woodalls.com is specifically designed to help users make informed decisions in several key areas — locating private and public campgrounds that suit their RV and tent camping travel needs, locating RV rentals both on-site and over-the-road, staying informed and entertained with destination articles and finding interesting things to see and do while camping, according to a news release.
The result of this new website enables visitors to easily access Woodall's impressive database of campground information without a log-in.
"It's easy to get lost when looking for the right campground, whether you're a fulltime RVer or new to the lifestyle. Our intuitive, user-friendly search tools make finding what you're looking for quick and easy. From driving directions using Google maps to on-site amenities, Woodalls.com is the one-stop site to find what you need for your next trip," said Ann Emerson, vice president and publisher of Woodall Publications and Affinity Guest Services. "While our North American Campground Directory has been a resource to RVers for nearly 75 years, we feel that giving our customers direct and online access to this great information in the age of technology shows we are committed to serving our customers in multiple mediums."
Woodall's also sets itself apart from all other campground directories by having a unique dual rating system. One rating is assigned to the facilities at the park. The other is assigned to the availability of recreation. This unique system is especially important to those enjoying the RV lifestyle with lengthy big rigs that require larger spaces at campgrounds. Weekend family camping trips are also easier to manage as far as searching for recreation is concerned. The more Woodall "W's" means more recreational development.
This re-launch is just the beginning of a phased approach to a more robust website that is scheduled to roll out over the course of the next 6-12 months. While Woodalls.com provides a completely free service, registering as a Diamond Club member allows visitors to save their searches, access money-saving areas of the site, and receive special pre-publication and product offers. Soon Diamond Club members will also be part of a new online RV and camping community.
Woodall Publications, RVBusiness and RVBUSINESS.COM are AGI holdings.

Polycarbonate Twinwall is used in construction and agricultural industries as well as many DIY applications.
Weather and Impact Protection
Lighter and easier to install versus metal, and more protective than wood, you can rely on Interstate Plastics' selection of polycarbonate storm protection systems. Our RDC Storm Panels for commercial businesses and homes protect windows from strong winds and flying debris during hurricane season. They allow in light while guarding your windows and doors against hurricane force winds, flying debris, and severe weather.
Design & Architecture
Polycarbonate Twinwall finished plastics give a sense of openness and flow while maintaining protection, durability and strength for years to come.
Agriculture & Greenhouses
Virtually unbreakable, withstands UV rays, hail and extreme weather. Multi-wall sheets provide the best thermal insulation of any greenhouse and agricultural coverings.
Windows, Glazing & Light Transmission
Enlist nature's qualities for interior atmosphere. Perfect for building lighting, open passageways, pools, verandahs, interior design elements, display windows and exhibitions.
Patio & Awnings
For home and commercial design, Twinwall is like putty in your hands - almost any project, however unique it may be, can be implemented with polycarbonate Twinwall.
From wind shields to shelters, custom greenhouses and art projects, polycarbonate twinwall can be cut and drill using standard wood working tools. It's also good for drilling, trimming, bending and bonding (use Weld-On 55 "glue").
Cold Aisle Containment & Data Center Solutions
Interstate Plastics has a wide variety of polycarbonate twinwall solutions that address cooling issues associated with data centers and other IT systems. Proper planning in air flow management eliminates hot spots, gets cool air to where it needs to be, and saves money by cutting down on the electrical cost of air conditioning.
Data centers, server rooms and other IT racks are generally lined up in alternating rows with a walkway in-between where the front of the equipment faces each other to create a "cold aisle", and the exhausts from the equipment also face each other to create a "hot aisle".
Our polycarbonate twinwall can be utilized as an effective physical barrier (with significant advantages over PVC vinyl aisle containment curtains) between server racks and other equipment as its thermal properties allow for alternating cold and warm isles to sit side by side without significant heat transfer between the twinwall and multiwall sheets.
Cut and drill using standard wood working tools:
Cutting can be done on a standard circular, jig, or table saw with a blade having 8-12 teeth per inch. Thinner gauges can be cut with a box knife.
Drilling is performed with standard wood drill bits.
Trim with a standard box cutting knife.
Bending is done by cold forming along the direction of the flutes. Bending guides are available.
Bonding ("gluing") can be done with Weld-On 55 adhesive.
Get growing with the Snap & Grow 6' x 8' Silver Frame Hobby Greenhouse from Palram. Heavy duty aluminum frames assemble easily without much hardware. Crystal-clear polycarbonate panels slide right into the frame, lock into place and are virtually unbreakable.

Meridian 808.2/808i.2 Signature Reference CD player/preamplifier
Then, in 2004, Meridian introduced its 808 Signature Reference player. An unabashedly two-channel product, the 808 represented everything Meridian's Technical Director, Bob Stuart, and his design team knew about CD playback. Why Stereophile didn't review the original 808, I have no idea. But then, at the January 2008 Consumer Electronics Show, Meridian introduced the Signature Reference 808.2. "We've changed its drive, drive navigation software, power supply, DSP, and clocking and buffering," Stuart told Wes. "I'd like to say that the only thing we've retained is the case, but we've improved that, too."
The 808.2 and 808i.2
Housed in a large, handsome chassis, the 808.2 is based on a card-frame topology, to which subsystems can be added as desired. Thus the basic 808.2 player ($15,995) can be upgraded to 808i.2 player/processor-preamplifier status ($16,995) by adding cards for analog inputs (six pairs, on RCAs) and digital inputs (two TosLink optical, three S/PDIF on RCAs). Another card carries a single S/PDIF digital output on an RCA, as well as Meridian's SpeakerLink balanced digital output on an RJ45 jack, which sends encrypted AES/EBU-formatted data upsampled to 24 bits/88.2kHz on a single CAT5 cable to a pair of Meridian's active speakers.
The 808i.2's front panel is dominated by the large LCD display, which was easily legible from across the room. Below it to the left is the drawer for the transport, which is based on a DVD-ROM drive. This was chosen because it allows a disc to be reread if necessary to ensure optimal data retrieval from the disc, as well as full buffering of those data to minimize jitter. The transport controls lie along the bottom right of the front panel, while a hinged door in the center folds down to allow access to ancillary controls such as Volume Up and Down, Mute, Display, etc. Behind the door are the signatures of Bob Stuart and his longtime industrial-designer partner, Meridian's Design Director, Allen Boothroyd.
The real beauty of the 808i.2 lies inside, however. The CD data are upsampled to a 176.4kHz sample rate and 24-bit depth by Meridian's proprietary Resolution Enhancement algorithm before being sent to high-quality but unidentified delta-sigma DAC chips. But along the way, the data are subjected to a new kind of reconstruction filter that Meridian calls an "apodizing" device.
A pair of technical papers in the March 2004 issue of the Journal of the Audio Engineering Society (Vol.52 No.3) indicated the direction Meridian would be taking with the 808.2 (footnote 1) In "Coding for High-Resolution Audio Systems," Bob Stuart examined what was required to get the highest audio quality from a digital system, while in "Antialias Filters and System Transient Response at High Sample Rates," Peter Craven examined the nature of the ubiquitous anti-aliasing filter (in A/D conversion) and reconstruction filter (in D/A conversion) (footnote 2).
Keith Howard had explored this second subject for Stereophile in January 2006. While the linear-phase Finite Impulse Response filters routinely used in digital audio can offer superb performance in the frequency domain, in the time domain they introduce preresponses that occur prior to the main peak of the impulse response, something that never occurs in nature and thus will not be masked by the music. The brevity of these preresponses that occurs with high sample rates has led some commentators to decide that this is why high sample rates produce better sound quality, and not the octave extension in bandwidth itself. On the face of it, however, this improvement seems paradoxical: the preresponse comprises ringing at half the sample rate (called the Nyquist Frequency), which, even with CD, is above the limit of human hearing. But the preresponse does appear to have an audible effect, perhaps because the human ear/brain system acts as a wavefront detector rather than as a spectrum analyzer.
What Peter Craven explored in his paper was the idea that you could process the audio data with a minimum-phase low-pass filter whose first null is at the original Nyquist frequency. This will therefore kill all the ringing from the original A/D converter, replacing the preresponse ringing with postresponse ringing from the new filter. As this new ringing would a) be natural in that it occurs after the event, and b) takes place entirely within the human auditory system's masking interval, the data would be audibly cleaned up. The tradeoff, however, is that the new minimum-phase "apodizing," or windowing, filter has to begin rolling off below the original Nyquist frequency, thus sacrificing a small fraction of the top octave of the original passband in order to optimize the time-domain performance.

I live in a messy house. Not, like, hoarder messy, but clothes on the floor, unmade bed, craft stuff all over the living room, I could stand to do the dishes more often messy. I feel a little weird admitting this, because I'm sure some pop-psych frauds would love to theorize that my house is messy because two fat people live in it, and we are lazy and can't take care of ourselves or our surroundings. In fact, the house is messy for several reasons, none of which are that we're too busy shoveling donuts in our faces. One, I tend to spend so much time fretting about the state of the house that I have no time left for cleaning. Two, we both have other things that take priority. Three, I'm kind of lazy (I didn't say the theoretical therapist was all wrong).
But the most important reason is this: I love my house, but I don't expect to be there long. My boyfriend is finishing his doctorate, so at some point soon we'll be clearing out for somewhere that he can do a postdoc. This means that, aside from the amazing-looking chunk of hollow tree trunk that I desperately want to go steal from the park even though it weighs 600 pounds, we try very hard not to acquire bulky possessions. For people like us, who have a lot of projects and no great facility for organization, the secret to basic neatness is to find all the places where stuff accumulates, and stick a container under them. But this requires a trip to IKEA to buy heavy, space-consuming shelves and bins and whatnot that we'd just have to move in a year, not to mention requiring us to completely overhaul a space we don't intend to occupy for that much longer. And the more work we put into it, the more likely it is that I'll get attached, making it difficult to leave — and while there are things about where we live that are perfect (we're right next to the bike path!), I truly don't want to stay in this area for the rest of my days, let alone in this house.
It's not that I'm not excited by the idea of a moderately non-chaotic household, maybe even one with such things as art and decor and matching blankets that actually fit our bed instead of six different twin- and full-size comforters. It's just that I want to feather a different nest. I know there's a theory saying that effort you put into your living area is rewarded even if it's temporary. People who say that kind of thing unpack their clothes in hotel rooms. I am not those people.
I don't find this attitude particularly troubling, because it's true — I really am in this house temporarily, and it's worthwhile to think about the eventual move and plan around it. But I think a lot of people treat their bodies the same way, and that is a problem. It's part of the Fantasy of Being Thin: "I may be fat now, but when I get my real body, then my life will begin. Then I'll exercise and dance and dress beautifully and buy myself that fancy shampoo I like." When I was younger, I even used to fantasize that I'd get sick and lose a bunch of weight, because I couldn't imagine any other way to transition between my temporary body and my real one. I thought I could get a clean slate if I dropped catastrophic amounts instantly — and after that I'd have do-overs, and I could do things right this time. Meanwhile it didn't matter what I did. I was just here to go.
But if you're just marking time in your body until your new, perfect one comes along, through luck or dieting or illness or whatever, then you're going to be terrifically disappointed — and worse, your metaphorical house is going to be a mess. You may think, "I'll get those storage bins and put things in order when I make it to the new place." You may think, "I'll ditch this furniture and buy new beautiful stuff after the move." You may not see the point in fixing the dripping faucet or the creaky stairs, or getting regular checks for termites and radon, or grounding the electrical system; surely none of that will matter when you move into your real, permanent home.
Of course you can't actually break the lease. At some point you need to get over it, take your stuff out of boxes, and hang some art on the walls, because you're not going anywhere. The metaphor's getting strained, but here's my point: You live in this body for good, so don't treat it like a squat. Maybe it's not your dream home, but it's your home, and that will count for more the more love and effort you put into it. The environment you make there is the environment you'll have to live in, so give it the care it needs and deck it out in your personal style.
You live in this body. Time to decorate.

About Yellowcard
Yellowcard's fortunes took a turn for the better when the Jacksonville, Fla., band headed off to Southern California in 2000. With their lineup solidified, Yellowcard released two independent EPs that richly captured their catchy emo-meets-punk-pop sound. Sharp songwriting and their idiosyncratic use of a violin helped set them apart from other similar-sounding bands. Capitol Records was intrigued enough by the offbeat combination to sign them in 2003. Their success continued with the release of Ocean Avenue in 2004, which spawned a series of hit singles and went double platinum. As their fortunes rose, internal tensions erupted, with original guitarist Ben Harper departing the band to focus on his indie label, Takeover Records. He was replaced by Ryan Mendez, previously in the punk band Staring Back.

When I was young I wanted to be in the FBI. I thought it would be cool to catch bad guys all day. It wasn't until later that I realized that J. Edgar Hoover might not have been the hero I imagined as a six year old, and still later when I figured out that most of what agencies like the FBI do is really dull. Then you reach a certain age and the dull stuff seems exciting again, albeit in a very different way. And on that note, there exists something at the FBI called the Art Crime Team. Ironically, they have the worst logo in the history of ever.
Apparently it's not a misleading name. They find stolen art. Unbeknownst to me at the time I discovered its existence, apparently art theft is a thing. A thing that happens, like, all the time. In my mind, the idea of stealing something from an art museum seems about as plausible as breaking into the White House and having brunch in the Oval Office. But then it dawned on me that not all valuable art is in an art museum. There are private galleries, art dealers, homes & offices of the wealthy, warehouses, and art museums that, uh, don't exactly have the level of security you'll find in the Smithsonian.
As a kid I was fascinated by the story of the guy who stole the Mona Lisa in 1911. He was caught in 1913 and the painting was recovered. Neat cops-and-robbers story, right? But apparently there are a lot of extremely valuable works from well-known artists that have been stolen and never recovered. For example, in two separate heists from major museums, one of Rembrandt's few landscapes and his sole seascape (which I remember distinctly from undergrad art history classes) were stolen and have never been seen again. Vermeer's The Concert, stolen from a major museum in Boston in 1990, is valued at over $50,000,000 and remains missing.
These stories usually have a happier ending. Law enforcement is aided by the fact that it's pretty damn hard to do anything with a conspicuous masterwork after you've stolen it. And this is the part that really intrigues me. Once you've swiped a Picasso – presumably for financial gain, right? – what in the hell do you do with it? Surely the usual auction houses would be aware of the theft. You can't exactly put the thing on eBay. Is there some underground stolen art sales network where these paintings are sold to Russian mobsters and third world kleptocrats? Even those folks wouldn't be able to display it, I'd imagine. Certainly word would get out, even if they displayed it only in private. And there's no point to expensive acquisitions except to show them off, right?
I suppose we'll never know. Can anyone shed some light on this? If nothing else, today you learned that it doesn't exactly require Ocean's 11 level thieving skills to steal multimillion dollar artwork, judging by how regularly it seems to happen.
