Red State Update takes up the subject of John McCain's rumored marriage infidelities.
We all know the rest of the world just loves Barack Obama. They certainly have a more positive impression of him than John McCain. But even more interesting is this gem: Canada likes Barack Obama more than their own leaders…
A new poll suggests Canadians would prefer to vote for Barack Obama rather cast a ballot for their own political leaders, while 45 per cent of Americans envy Canada's health care system. The bi-national survey, conducted by the Strategic Counsel for CTV and The Globe and Mail, showed that here in Canada, Obama was more admired than Prime Minister Stephen Harper — or any other national leader.
General Wesley Clark, a potential veep for Barack Obama, is pulling out the big guns in going after John McCain and his heavily touted military experience.
McCain frequently points out that he led "the largest squadron in the U.S. Navy," but Clark said on CBS television that that was not enough to support a claim to the presidency.
"He hasn't been there and ordered the bombs to fall" as a wartime commander, the general said on CBS. Clark is mentioned as a possible Obama running mate, although he originally supported Senator Hillary Rodham Clinton.When the interviewer, Bob Schieffer, noted to Clark that McCain had been shot down over Hanoi, Clark replied, "I don't think riding in a fighter plane and getting shot down is a qualification to be president."
Oh, please, dear God. Let's not…
Telegraph: A former head of Mossad has warned that Israel has 12 months in which to destroy Iran's nuclear programme or risk coming under nuclear attack itself. He also hinted that Israel might have to act sooner if Barack Obama wins the US presidential election.
Shabtai Shavit, an influential adviser to the Israeli parliament's defence and foreign affairs committee, told The Sunday Telegraph that time was running out to prevent Iran's leaders getting the bomb.
Mr Shavit, who retired from the Israeli intelligence agency in 1996, warned that he had no doubt Iran intended to use a nuclear weapon once it had the capability, and that Israel must conduct itself accordingly.
"The time that is left to be ready is getting shorter all the time," he said in an interview. CONTINUE READING
Washington Post: The e-mail landed in Danielle Allen's queue one winter morning as she was studying in her office at the Institute for Advanced Study, the renowned haven for some of the nation's most brilliant minds. The missive began: "THIS DEFINITELY WARRANTS LOOKING INTO." CONTINUE READING
Telegraph: Senator Barack Obama, the presumptive Democratic nominee, is to fly to Britain next month as part of an ambitious foreign trip that will also take him to war zones in Iraq and Afghanistan as well as to France and Germany.
Only skeleton details of Mr Obama's trip have been agreed but an announcement of an outline programme is expected over the weekend.
"You will be hearing something very soon," a senior Obama aide told The Telegraph.
During Mr Obama's visit to Britain, likely to take place around the middle of July, he will call on Gordon Brown and, if time permits, David Cameron, the Conservative leader.
A recent Telegraph poll showed that Mr Obama is overwhelmingly preferred to Mr McCain in Britain and Europe.
Three times as many Britons said they would vote for him as those who indicated they would back Mr McCain, if able to cast a vote in the US election.
But Democratic strategists are concerned that scenes of "Obamamania" in Europe could damage the candidate back home.
In 2004, John Kerry, the Democratic nominee, was mocked for "looking French" while in 2000, George W Bush turned his relative lack of foreign travel into a political asset.
Mr Obama, 46, has not been to Iraq since 2004, a fact that his opponent John McCain, 71, the presumptive Republican nominee and a regular visitor to Baghdad, points out frequently.
His extensive foreign trip – unusual at the height of a presidential campaign – is designed to burnish his comparatively thin foreign policy credentials.
The Illinois senator met Mr Brown for the first time in April at the British Embassy, when the Prime Minister also received calls from Mr McCain and Hillary Clinton, who was them still battling for the Democratic nomination.
Mr Obama has visited Downing Street once briefly during a congressional trip.
On a previous trip to Britain in 1996, he was a guest at the wedding of his half-sister Auma, who has since moved back to Kenya, in Bracknell and went his brother-in-law's stag night in Wokingham.
President Nicolas Sarkozy has already invited Mr Obama to visit the Elysee Palace and Downing Street aides are understood to be pushing for him to stop in London before Paris as a signal that he considers Britain to be America's pre-eminent ally.
Seriously, Terry McAuliffe is completely insane.
Politico: Obama's advance staff is very good at the visuals, and the Unity event is flawless on TV.
Even better: It's dominating the news cycle without making any news.
And that's one of the key things Hillary (and Bill) bring to Obama: Whenever he wants to deliver some unadulterated message to the American people, he just needs to drag one of them up on stage beside him and wait for the cameras.
Ironically, the reason the Clinton-Obama pairing is so compelling is largely because of the — vastly overplayed — notion that there's some question of whether the Clintons really support him, whether they'll show up, whether you'll be able to see their fingers crossed when they're talking. It offers an odd-couple dynamic, and a reason to tune in, for what you're seeing today: "It's fitting that we meet in a place called Unity."
Obama had warm praise for her and seemed to go off his prepared remarks in a couple of places.
"She rocks. She rocks. That's the point I'm trying to make," he said in response to a shout from the crowd. Later, he said, "I still don't know how she does it in heels."
Politics1: Barack Obama and Hillary Clinton hold their first unity event on Friday in — fittingly — Unity, New Hampshire. Also, conservative columnist Robert Novak reports that former Secretary of State Colin Powell is poised to break with GOP and endorse Obama for President some time this summer. Meanwhile, here are the latest independent polls from swing states:
COLORADO (Quinnipiac University): Obama – 49%, McCain – 44%.
MICHIGAN (Quinnipiac University): Obama – 48%, McCain – 42%.
MINNESOTA (Quinnipiac University): Obama – 54%, McCain – 37%.
MISSISSIPPI (Rasmussen): McCain 50%, Obama – 44%.
TENNESSEE (Rasmussen): McCain 51%, Obama – 36%.
TEXAS (Texas Lyceum): McCain – 43%, Obama – 38%.

COLORADO (Quinnipiac University): Mark Udall (D) – 48%, Bob Schaffer (R) – 38%.
MINNESOTA (Quinnipiac University): Norm Coleman (R) – 51%, Al Franken (D) – 41%.
MISSISSIPPI – REGULAR ELECTION (Rasmussen): Thad Cochran (R) – 59%, Erik Fleming (D) – 32%.
MISSISSIPPI – SPECIAL ELECTION (Rasmussen): Roger Wicker (R) – 48%, Ronnie Musgrove (D) – 47%.
NEW JERSEY (Fairleigh Dickinson University): Frank Lautenberg (D) – 48%, Dick Zimmer (R) – 28%.
TEXAS (Texas Lyceum): John Cornyn (R) – 38%, Rick Noriega (D) – 36%.
Me thinks he did.
Much has been made of Barack Obama's comments that he would talk to our enemies, pivoting as a policy shift of not even acknowledging the mere existence of the original Axis of Evil (Iran, Iraq and North Korea) and certainly not negotiating with them to change their policies. Since we've effectively blown Iraq to pieces, potentially taking North Korea off the list with this policy change today leaves only Iran as the Axis of Evil in today's world.
The Bush Administration is chomping at the bit to bomb Iran before January, and if they do, there will be hell to pay. In the early 1950s, the U.S. sought to have better relations with the leadership of Iran, so we took it upon ourselves to stage a coup and insert a more America-friendly leader, the Shah. This action ultimately turned a generation of Iranians against the U.S. – or, as Ron Paul would call it, blowback – and led to the Iranian Hostage Crisis in 1979 and the ultimate overthrow of the Shah, led by the Ayatollah Khomeini. Now, with tensions increasing again, and with a new generation of Iranians having a negative view of the U.S., what would happen if the U.S. were to bomb Iran? And what would be the Iranian response?If we bomb Iran, we've literally screwed ourselves.
TPM: President Bush announces at a press conference this morning that he will be lifting sanctions on North Korea and may shortly remove them from the "Axis of Evil":
Gawker: Barack Obama is on the cover of Rolling Stone again! So soon after the last one. And just one week after he showed up on the front of publisher Jann Wenner's UsWeekly! In fact, if you have a magazine, you have probably put Barack Obama on the cover. It's summer, so nothing is really going on besides Batman and this Barack Obama character. Does anyone without a pair of breasts sell so many magazines? Did our prettiest president even get this much ink until he tragically died? Attached, a composite of the media maelstrom. (The Tiger Beat one, sadly, is from The Onion. It was our favorite too.)
AZCentral.com: The Arizona State Senate has rejected a proposal that would have asked voters to amend the state constitution to prohibit same-sex marriage.
The 14-11 vote fell two votes shy of what was required to send the proposal to the November ballot. Senators later voted to reconsider the measure at another unspecified date.
The proposal would define marriage as a union between one man and one woman.
Supporters say the proposal would provide additional legal protection needed to prevent marriage from being redefined by a court or future lawmakers.
Opponents argued that the existing law makes the amendment unnecessary and that it insults gays and represents an attempt to exploit marriage for political purposes.
Washington Post: OK, so now we have a pretty good idea of who House Speaker Nancy Pelosi would like to see in the No. 2 slot on the 2008 Democratic presidential ticket.
"I do think in the list of considerations there should be somebody from the House of Representatives," Pelosi told Newsweek.com's TamCam blog. Specifically, she said, "Chet Edwards is a person that many of us think would be a good person to be in the mix."
Edwards is a nine-term centrist Democrat from Texas who, though he never served in the armed forces, has a solid military affairs background as chairman of the House Appropriations Subcommittee on Military Construction and Veterans Affairs.
If you ask us, it sounds like the Texan is tore down excited by the idea of running for veep.
He released a statement Tuesday afternoon saying he is "humbled" that Pelosi "and others" (note that he said "and others") would suggest him as a vice presidential running mate for Obama. "Given that I have not met with the Obama campaign regarding the vice presidential nomination, I would not want to speculate on the names being considered," Edwards said.
Rocky Mountain News: Independent presidential candidate Ralph Nader accused Sen. Barack Obama, the presumed Democratic Party nominee, of downplaying poverty issues, trying to "talk white" and appealing to "white guilt" during his run for the White House.
Nader, a thorn in the Democratic Party's side since the 2000 presidential election, has taken various shots at Obama in recent days while ramping up his latest independent run for president.
In a wide-ranging interview with the Rocky Mountain News on Monday, he said he is running because he believes Democrats, like Republicans, are too closely aligned with corporate interests.

Los Angeles Times: Buoyed by enthusiasm among Democrats and public concern over the economy, Sen. Barack Obama (D-Ill.) has taken a sizable lead over Sen. John McCain (R-Ariz.) at the opening of the general election campaign for president, a Los Angeles Times/Bloomberg poll has found.
In a two-man race between the major-party candidates, registered voters chose Obama over McCain by 49% to 37% in the national poll, conducted Thursday through Monday.
A brilliant video from JedReport.com on the clear flip-flopping on how John McCain and company have handled Michelle Obama's patriotism. Faux News has largely jumped on her gaffe, sizing her up as an angst-filled, angry black woman.
Only a handful out commentators, notably MSNBC's Dan Abrams has sought to point out that McCain himself has made similar statements in the past, yet conservative media outlets have jumped on statements by Michelle Obama completely out of context.
Check out this great smash-up video, "The Glass House of McCain."
New York Times: Senator Barack Obama is drawing up plans for extensive advertising and voter-turnout drives across the nation, hoping to capitalize on his expected fund-raising advantage over Senator John McCain to force Republicans to compete in states they have not had to defend in decades.
With his decision to give up public financing and the spending limits that go with it, Mr. Obama has added several seasoned hands to his advertising team, a harbinger of a multifaceted television campaign that people inside and outside Obama headquarters said would grow well beyond its already large presence in 18 states.

New York Daily News: Hillary Clinton will join Barack Obama for a joint appearance in Washington next week to persuade her donors to begin giving to the Democrats' nominee, the Daily News has learned.
It's the first known plan to bring together the victor and vanquished from the Democrat primary race and put their pledges of unity for the fall campaign into action.
Jonathan Mantz, Clinton's national finance director, sent top Clinton fundraisers an e-mail today inviting them to the event on June 26.

Deathmatch, or "DM", is a common gamemode in many online combat games. Many good players play on these servers, along with hundreds of bad players. The problem is when these bad players find CnR, think that it's a deathmatch server and start killing people for no reason. This is called "deathmatching", or "DMing", and is a bannable offence on CnR.
Cops: No Teamkilling / Innocent Killing
Cops MAY NOT attack other cops or innocent civilians (white). Cops may only shoot in self defense.
No Deathmatching / Random Killing
Random Killing or killing someone for no reason is not tolerated in Cops And Robbers. It's not a deathmatch server, so don't kill / attack people for no reason, or you will be kicked / banned. This includes random hit contracts.— CrazyBob
What is deathmatching
First of all, deathmatching does not have to include any killing. Attacking for no reason is deathmatching as well.
Actions that constitute deathmatching include, but are not limited to:
- Attacking a player for no reason with fists.
- Attacking a player for no reason with melee weapons, such as a chainsaw.
- Attacking a player for no reason with a gun.
- Attacking a player for no reason with a vehicles weapons (eg, Rustler guns, helicopter blades), aswell as parking on the player.
- Attacking a player's vehicle for no reason (while they are inside it) with any weapon or fists. This includes the tires and glass.
- Placing a hit contract on a player for no reason.
- A police officer shooting/attacking anyone in jail, even if they are committing crimes.
- Attacking/placing a hit contract on a player for an incident that happened in a previous city.
- Attacking/placing a hit contract on a player for the same incident multiple times. This is very, very, very bannable, as past examples have shown. Source
- A criminal or group of criminals "hunting" police officers or "holing up" in a single location to goad the cops to come after them, and attacking them for no other reason (see the first point on the list below for a comparison, also known as the 'Jefferson Hotel Scenario').
- Placing deer traps near buildings such as the police department and bank (or any popular area in the current city) just to get people to stand on them Source
- Fishslapping to kill for no reason. Source
- Attacked a person because they did something to a friend. You can only attack someone if they did something to you Source
While attacking a player for a reason within the Regular Players Club is not deathmatching, it is against the rules.
What isn't deathmatching
There are some things that people think are deathmatching but aren't. Some of these include:
- A wanted criminal attacking a police officer chasing them (see list above for a comparison). The criminal must be trying to escape (leaving the city to get away from cops and to lose wanted levels).
- Attacking a player who has placed a hit contract on you (killing the hit placer cancels the hit).
- Attacking hitmen who attack you first. You can not randomly attack hitmen just because you have a hit contract if they have done nothing to you first.
- A police officer attacking a civilian in self defense (and vice versa).
Deathmatching groups
There have been many deathmaching groups in CnR. One of the most recent and prolific groups has been ROMP. Other examples have been KTDN and aVo. While these groups are annoying, their tags allow them to be identified, avoided ingame and banned easily.
How admins deal with deathmatchers
Admins usually will kick or ban deathmatchers, depending on if they have been warned before. However, some admins will teleport to the deathmatcher and kill them with a minigun. JRN is often found doing this. Psyra will often teleport them out into the ocean or atop buildings and cage them, inviting the population to come taunt and tease them (or, if they're gangmembers, just ban them sometimes), while Fallon will usually get in a helicopter and teleport the DMer above the heli blades. Zzzzt!
ATeddyBear's DM/n00b Survival Guide
- Main article: ATeddyBear's DM/n00b Survival Guide
Since the recent high increase of new players there seems to be A LOT of noobs running around. So I'm putting this little guide together to help you along through the wall of n00bage when there isn't an admin on.
- Try to help them Yes that's right help. PM them. Wave your arms around. Spam a little and help them understand what the game mode is about and what not. If they start with the "OMG STFU NOOB LOSER FAG!!!!!111" then just leave them alone, don't start shit.
- Buddy up That's right. DM'ing noobs are much less likely to attack a group of people (not saying they won't. They're still noobs). Cops, get together in a cop car, enforcer, whatever. Not only does it make it 10x easier to take down suspects it will also allow you to take down/arrest noobs that decide to attack you. On the civilian side, find a friend or something to hang around with and ride together. Make a rape bus or something.
- Keeping moving For some reason when you stop moving or park it places a big "DM me now" target on you. I don't know why it just does. So keep on the move and it should keep the noobage off your back.
- Don't start shit Simple. If some noob is spamming "your mom" jokes and throwing around every dirty word he can think of just /ignore him. Don't start shit. It just leads to more shit and that doesn't help the situation. You just degrade yourself to there level.
- Use the script to your advantage Yep if you're reading this chances are that you know how to play, So use the script to your advantage. Oh! Some noob deciding he's Rambo? Place and hit and have one of many talented hitmen take him out. A noob decides he doesn't like the way you looked at him? /flash, rape, insult, whatever kill him. Give him a STD. Do whatever. You don't have to shoot him to death to kill him. If he's firing wildly he will eventually get a warrant and a cop can arrest him.
- *Cops* Have someone on heli duty! I can't stress this enough. Noobs seem to like to snipe. A LOT. So keep a heli cop on patrol to take care of them. If they accidentally run into your heli blades. Oh well! ;)
- Just avoid them. If you know someone is being a DM'ing noob asshole then just avoid them. Also keep away from the PD or other high traffic areas. Do your deals in some secluded place like you should do. If you need to go to the PD make it quick. Noobs seem to like to hang around there too.
That's about it. I'll keep this open to suggestion and comments and edit it if I feel something needs to be added.— ATeddyBear

Held annually on June 14, Flag Day commemorates the day in 1777 that the Second Continental Congress adopted the United States flag.
For Lee Forrester, owner of American Flag Company in Homewood, it's the busiest time of the year.
"We just can't keep up almost. It's a wonderful thing right now so we're going to enjoy it while it lasts," Forrester said.
American Flag Company opened its doors about 100 years ago making flags. Forrester is the third owner and has turned the business into a flag distribution and installation company.
"We're dealers," Forrester said. "We provide whatever the public needs."
American Flag Company owner talks about Flag Day and the flag business from Alabama NewsCenter on Vimeo.
Forrester, who comes from a family of entrepreneurs, said it means a lot to him to own his own business, and he loves that it is a flag business.
"Having a flag business, since I didn't serve in the military, gives me a feeling of giving it back," he said.
Forrester said Alabama's patriotism makes the state "a great place to have a flag business."
Talking to him about Flag Day, Forrester gets excited: "It should get everybody excited. I mean, we're talking about our national flag."
American Flag Company doesn't only sell American flags, though. It also sells all kinds of other flags, from military flags to college flags.
"Alabama, Auburn, UAB. Everybody is going to buy their flags. We offer custom flags, religious flags, patriotic flags. Just any type of flag that's out there we can offer it. If we don't have it, we can get it," Forrester said.
The company also provides flag installation and repair services.
"If you have a hundred-foot flag pole you want to put in your commercial business, we can do that as well. We've got a bucket truck, so we can service the flag poles even if the rope is broken from the top. So, no job is too big or too small," Forrester said.
Forrester shared a personal story about a time he saw a flag in disrepair at a small community cemetery.
"I have a place on Smith Lake, and we were on the way one day to the lake. There is this cemetery off to the side, nice church. The cemetery is well-maintained, military mostly, and a storm had blown the flag pole down," he said.
"I saw it once, and the next week I saw it again. I showed up and put them up a new flag pole and didn't let them know anything about it. It's kind of like one of those angels that appeared out of nowhere, so I felt good about that," Forrester said. "They still have their flag, and they keep flying that flag regardless; even if they don't buy it from me, that's OK."

The Big Rock preserve offers a variety of habitats, particularly for aquatic creatures who may select the riffles, pools, and stone-paved brook itself, or the still, silty-bottomed wetlands created by beaver. Beaver have been active here for years, and when feeling ambitious in dry times, dam the main stem of the brook itself. Many other animals and plants thrive in the wetlands they create. The otter and its little brother, the mink, frequent the water's edge. Bear visit the rocky knoll, traveling under the cover provided by hemlocks and dense forest to the south. Deer wintering in these hemlocks drink from the brook and browse shrubs and small trees. Look for moose tracks in the wetlands near the brook. Protecting the stream-side vegetation from clearing is a good way to protect the quality of water in Grant Brook. Plant stems and roots capture sediment from stormwater runoff and filter pollutants before they can corrupt the stream. Shaded once more, the stream is cooler and provides more oxygen and cover for fish and their food than it did a century ago.
Muscle-powered travel only. No motorized vehicles. Unmarked side trails are not for public use. Dogs are welcome if they are under the control of their owners. Leave flowers and other plants growing where you found them, especially the poison ivy near the Big Rock. And please, carry out what you carry in.
This 23-acre preserve behind Lyme Village protects the northern corridor of Grant Brook and a large wetland behind the Common. It was created in 1998 with a gift of ten acres to the Town from Amalia Greenwood, Ralph & Lillian Bircher, and Beverly & Earl Strout, and of the remainder from Paul & Veronica Guyre to the Upper Valley Land Trust in 2002.
Lyme people have long enjoyed the property for picnicking and swimming; initials carved in the landmark "Big Rock" date back to the 1800s. Photographs of this area, taken a century ago from Washburn Hill, show an open, unshaded brook, close-cropped pastures, and a stonewall-lined lane leading to the country store. The only trees between the brook and the Common were those next to homes and an apple orchard supplying household cider. A few apple trees, or their progeny, survive in the woods that have grown up around them, offering a treat to deer and turkeys. Stonewalls coursed through the land then as now. Today, without boundaries to mark or sheep to control, they shelter chipmunks and weasels and serve to keep the tall pines from wandering off.
Grant Brook falls 2500 feet on its journey from Smarts Mountain through the villages of Lyme Center and Lyme Plain, flowing through cascades, riffles, pools, and wetlands on its way to the broad Connecticut River. The Big Rock, which gave the preserve its name, is a fragment of a ridge of erosion-resistant metamorphic rock, seen in the nearby knoll and the ledge across the brook. Rushing water has managed to move it only slightly downstream over the millennia. Smaller cobbles and stones in the brook have arrived from places uphill, rounded by the ride.
Visit Town of Lyme online for more information or contact:
From the east: The trailhead is located on the west side of Market Street, 1/8 miles south of Lyme Common, at a blue sign near a group of mailboxes. Please be courteous to residents when parking.
From the west: The trailhead is located on the east side of Route 10, 1/4 mile south of Lyme School, and just above a bridge over the brook. Trails are marked with reflective orange and aluminum disks.

Philadelphia tacked on another run in the second inning leaving Arizona to play catch up the rest of the way.
Saunders' final stat line was six earned runs in 5 & 2/3 innings.
Arizona wasn't much better with the bats only amassing six hits against Cole Hamels and the Phillies bullpen.
Chris Young was the lone bright spot for Arizona hitting his sixth and seventh home runs of the season.

text: The mating systems of species in small or fragmented populations impact upon their persistence. A recent study published in AoB PLANTS by Silva et al. highlights the value of performing detailed mating system studies in plant species of high conservation value, such as the rare and relict species of Sonchus section Pustulati. The study adds to the evidence that outcrossing mating systems based on sporophytic self-incompatibility are highly resilient even under long-term conditions of small, fragmented, and isolated populations. This is possibly due to mating system flexibility with the presence of some selfing and the fact that high cross-compatibility is achieved for relatively modest dominantly expressed S allele polymorphism. The authors highlight the importance of taking mating system factors into account as part of conservation efforts.

Twisted Box Kite
There is a long story behind this unique specimen. Although this type of kite is found fairly often in the high end kiting stores, to me, spinning box does not mean nylon and carbon fiber spars that were shaped perfectly in the beginning. It means plastic, three different types of tape, hot glue, twine, and flying line.
I actually have about a year of kiting experience, although it did not take me long to get calibrated. I figured out designs of many varieties that are on your site, then designing these types of kites on my own. However, this time, I cast my net further than MBK.
The actual idea began when I purchased one of these kites for myself. It was a two-cell hexagonal twisted kite with six angled keels on each cell of the kite. I enjoyed flying it on the beach when I was there for the one day that actually had decent wind for it. I had taken a closer look at the dynamics of the design, and figured that it would not be hard to make one of these.
What I decided to build does not look a lot like the one that I purchased. I decided to build a square twisted box without the keels. A few pythagorean theorums later, I had a pretty good design for it. It was an original design, to let you know. It took about five hours to build, and the hot glue was necessary, because there were a lot of parts you had to hold while it was drying.
The design, on your site, would be considered an ultimate skewer kite, with three skewer main spars, and one and a half skewer cross spars. It still only has two sets of them, because there is a support system down the middle. The one point bridle is surprisingly effective.
It has been a month since I devised the kite. No, at least two, but, in the northern hemisphere, summer just ended, letting good winds through. Okay, so I had to wait for a hurricane to pass our coast before I got decent winds. Do not try this if you are in the hurricane, I said passed, barely bringing rain to where I am.
But the kite flew solidly, but swerved from left to right a lot. It ended when the cross spars got pulled out. I have a video before that happened, as well as a design, but I am not sure how to share it, since it is on another site.

Economist See Rosy Future For Arizona
Published: Monday, October 14, 2019 - 1:25pm
State economists are out with a rosy forecast for Arizona in the next fiscal year, projecting nearly $700 million as lawmakers prepare to bargain over a budget in the fast approaching 2020 legislative session.
That number relies on the state's strong economy, punctuated by growth in state revenues and higher-than-expected tax revenue.
This latest projection from the Joint Legislative Budget Committee on Friday depends on the economy staying strong against the unexpected, both financially and politically speaking.
Economist Jim Rounds joined The Show to dig into those numbers.

I can't believe Halloween is a month away! Where does the time go? I have to say this year is the first year I haven't really been excited about Halloween. I'm not looking forward to having to tell Ella no when she begs for the candy she just scored. I'm not looking forward to looking for or creating a costume. I am ready to have a pumpkin and I love my Fall decor... but something is just missing this year. Maybe it's the new-found knowledge about all of the toxic junk in costumes that has me down.
I've learned that majority of the cheap costumes sold are made with toxic conventional dyes, which can cause skin irritations and also pollute waterways. Some costumes are also made with petroleum based products which require oil drilling. Both are bad for the environment, not to mention your child's precious skin. On top of that, most costumes are also made out of nylon or polyester which are both non-biodegradable. They all are treated with flame retardants- which is good and bad. Good- it's saving your child's life in case they come across a open flame. Bad- there is a lot of negative attention towards certain flame retardants and you don't know which kind is in your costume.
As I was researching "safe" costumes, I was thrown back after reading to avoid cotton since it is highly flammable! Cotton, rayon, acetates or blends are all highly flammable. Also you should avoid cardboard boxes, paper, tissue, long costumes, flowing costumes, fake fur, stringy strands, lace trim, tight costumes, loose costumes, masks and hard props. Wow... that's a lot to avoid. See why I'm getting down?
The good news is that there are Eco-friendly options available, like at Oeuf. Oeuf, pronounced UH-F, is a Eco-friendly company dedicated to create practical, stylish, high quality safe products for our children. They have adorable Alpaca fabric Halloween costumes that quickly caught my attention. Alpaca wool contains fibers with microscopic air pockets. This gives the fiber tremendous thermal capacity that allows a breathable fiber with an insulating nature.
Oeuf has a Mask and Tail set made from 100% Alpaca wool that is really cute. The mask will only cover your child's nose, so you don't have any safety worries! The set is made in Bolivia and is sure to stand out. You can choose from a tiger, raccoon, dog, fox, cheetah, zebra, giraffe or crocodile.
Oeuf also has Halloween Bat Boy & Bat Girl hats, an Animal Hat & Booties, Angel Sweater and Angel Booties that are all adorable. You can also find Alpaca jewelry, which is a great alternative to the cheap plastic stuff. While you are looking around, be sure to check out their amazing new items!

September 13, 1999. A date that will live in… geeky sci-fi history.
Why? Because that was the day that the moon was ripped from Earth's orbit by a nuclear explosion, of course, sending it – and the crew of Moonbase Alpha – speeding out of control into the unknown universe. You may have missed it on the news…
Ah, yes – Space: 1999. Along with Star Trek and Starsky and Hutch, it is one of my earliest memories of watching proper, grown-up TV.
It was another cheesy,sci-fi classic from the fertile mind of Gerry Anderson. Like its predecessor, UFO, it was a live-action show, rather than a puppetry series like the ones that had made his name (Thunderbirds, Joe 90, et al).
Although it was a British show, financier Lew Grade insisted on American stars, to make it easier to market in the US, and so the then-married Martin Landau and Barbara Bain (left), who had previously appeared together in Mission: Impossible, were hired to play the lead roles of Moonbase Commander John Koenig and doctor Helena Russell.
Space: 1999 ran for two seasons, beginning in 1975, and to a six-year-old Choob it was jaw-dropping stuff. It was a while ago, so you'll forgive my hazy memory, but I'm fairly sure I saw Space: 1999 on ITV before I saw any Star Trek reruns on BBC1, so it was truly unlike anything I had ever seen.
People living on the moon! Then speeding through space on the moon! Meeting aliens! And flying around in their uber-cool Eagle Transporter spacecraft (right)! What wasn't to love?
Sure, the costumes and sets look dated now, though not quite as badly as Star Trek, but back then they were cutting edge.
As were the cool "knuckle-duster"-style laser guns they used and the communicators with the built-in tiny TV screens (which also, I seem to recall, doubled up as remote-control door openers – why the doors didn't just open as they approached, a la Star Trek, I have no idea, but there you go).
Nowadays, of course, I am all-too aware that the physics of the show made no sense whatsoever – an atomic explosion powerful enough to shift the moon's orbit would have reduced it to rubble and, even if you ignore that problem, the moon would not travel fast enough to get very far before everyone on the base died of old age.
[More pragmatically, it is slightly depressing, looking back, that given the post-moon landing 1970s optimism about the future of space exploration, we are now another decade further into the future than the 24 years Space: 1999 envisioned and even something that seemed so mundane and attainable within a quarter of a century back then, a base on the moon, is still the stuff of science fiction and no closer to reality.]
But I don't care about how ridiculous the premise was. It looked cool and it was pure, glorious, escapist sci-fi fun at a time when there was very little genre TV being produced.
Star Trek had ended a six years earlier and it would be two more years before Star Wars would kick-start a revival of interest in the genre – with the original Battlestar Galactica in the US and Blake's 7 in the UK the first major, successful attempts to cash in. So Space: 1999 was an ambitious show that was, in some ways, ahead of its time.
And, of course, the reason we are here, is that it had one of the great TV theme tunes. Well, it did for one season anyway. The brilliant, bombastic, mega-dramatic original theme by long-time Gerry Anderson collaborator Barry Gray was replaced by a more contemporary theme by Derek Wadsworth. The new theme wasn't dreadful – it just wasn't a patch on the original.
That said, the visuals of the season two opening titles were arguably an improvement on the season one effort, which mainly featured dull fairly static portraits of the stars, together with a montage of scenes from the coming epiosde (a once-common US TV tradition recently revived by the reimagined Battlestar Galactica).
Anyway, make up your own mind about which was best. Enjoy!
Season one opening titles:
And here are the opening AND closing titles from season two:

I made no resolutions for the New Year.
The habit of making plans,
of criticizing,
sanctioning and molding my life,
is too much of a daily event for me.

Glory to God in highest heaven,
Who unto man His Son hath given;
While angels sing with tender mirth,
A glad new year to all the earth.

November/December 2019 Favorites – meal planning and apps for investing and saving money
Starting November, I felt that full-on hibernation mode had kicked in. And I tried to honor it by getting lots of sleep, drinking tea, having personal downtime and by cozy-ing up to a good book or a movie (happy endings only!) on my couch. I also took lots of walks. No gym time, I could […]Read More

REOPENING JUNE 29: Reservations and face coverings required. Read More
A Flash of Pink
The sight of a flamingo flock walking onto exhibit each morning is a great sight to see. Our gregarious Chilean flamingos march outside every morning to be greeted by guests who await their daily arrival.
If you take some time to watch the group, you'll see that that flamingos are very social. I love to spend time at the Waterfowl Lagoon watching all their fascinating behaviors and interesting interactions with each other.
Chilean flamingos exhibit numerous displays as a group—and also as individuals. Each display helps the flock in various ways. For example, the alert posture, a display where they elongate their necks upward as high as possible and look back and forth, may signal to the rest of the flock to be on alert, perhaps for a potential predator. Often one bird will initiate this type of display, and other birds will soon join in.
Members of the flamingo flock display an alert posture amidst last winter's snow.
"Wing-saluting" is a spectacular breeding display that the entire flock will do. Each bird will expand both wings to flash their pink and black feathers. A male and female can also be seen walking in front of each other in unison when individual birds are establishing pairs.
A "wing salute" at the Waterfowl Lagoon.
With a group as big as a flamingo flock—ours has 46 birds, although there can be as many as 10,000 in the wild—there's bound to be some quarrelling. When they're trying to find the perfect resting location or defending a nest mound, you may witness two or even three birds vying for their preferred spot by vocalizing while snipping at each other's bills.
Small squabbles are part of the process for any social species.
Be sure to check out the fanciful flamingo flock and all their displays when you visit the Waterfowl Lagoon. It's definitely a sight to see.

With summer rapidly approaching, many of us are looking forward to some well deserved time off. For those lucky enough to have the opportunity to travel outside of your normal habitat, I'm sure the excitement is building.
As you make the final preparations to your itinerary and confirm various bookings, take a minute to do a few things:
- Find your passport. Sounds silly, no? Trust me, there is nothing worse than getting ready to leave for the airport and realizing that you have no clue where that little bugger is located.
- Check the expiration date of your passport. Most countries you visit will not allow you to enter if you don't have at least 6 months before your passport expires.
- Count how many blank pages you have. Ok, so if you rarely travel or this is your first trip (how exciting!) this shouldn't be a worry. For more frequent travelers, have at least 6 blank pages left in your passport. There are immigration officials out there who strictly follow the rules of their country…and who don't get paid enough to deal directly with the public everyday and be friendly.
- Find out if you need to obtain a visa before you travel. For many, this is a non-issue as most countries around the world have agreements with one another to not require visas ahead of time. If you're an American going to China, you need a visa.
- Confirm what visa fee you may have upon arrival in a foreign country. As Americans, we're often appalled at the thought of having to pay for a visa. It is what it is. Don't take it out on the immigration official – that's generally a bad plan. Just have enough cash available to pay the appropriate fee and then enjoy your vacation. These fees vary greatly from country to country – so let us know if you need some help figuring out what you will owe.
With the above completed, you should have no trouble getting into the country you plan to visit. I would recommend filling out completely any 'entry forms' or 'entry cards' that are distributed on your flight or are available just before you chat with an immigration officer. In most cases, these forms are your name, passport info, and where you will be staying while in country. Going to multiple places? Jot down the info for your first hotel/lodge/AirBNB and tell the official that you'll be visiting other places too.
Rule of thumb – if you have the chance to use the restroom BEFORE getting into the immigration entry line, you may be very thankful. It's really no fun to be in an hour long line and ready to burst.
If you're traveling as a student – much of the above holds true for you too. There will be some additional visa considerations that we'll outline for you in another post.
Travel Safe!

|Common Name:
|Himalayan balsam
|Extremely Invasive
|Method of Transportation:
|Escaped garden ornamental. Explosive seed pods eject seeds away from the plant; seeds are buoyant and easily float to new locations downstream. These hardy seeds are even able to germinated while under water and easily take root in stream beds and riparian zones.
|Escapes from gardens and grows well in moist, rich soils. Forms colonies along rivers, stream banks, riparian zones and ditch banks.
Impatiens glandulifera, also known as Policeman's helmut, it an impressive but very invasive garden escapee in our region. It prefers to grow in moist habitats along river edges, riparian areas and wetlands.It is an annual and a prolific seed producer. Seed pods eject seeds as far as 6 meters when disturbed or touched, which can make removal difficult. This plant has a shallow and rather weak root system that can increase erosion along streams when the plant dies back in the fall. However, this also makes the plant extremely easy to hand-pull before it flowers in the spring. Pulled sites need to monitored for several years due to the longevity of the many seeds Himalayan balsam produces. Read more about alternatives to plant in the Grow Me Instead booklet for BC.
If you have any questions or wish to report this plant please call the Weeds Hotline at 1-866-44WEEDS or use the Report-A-Weed application.
NWIPC's Annual Report for 2017 was released at our AGM in Smithers in October 2018. Check it out here.
Land owners and managers have long recognized the need to control invasive plants to limit their impacts. In May 2018, a new smartphone app...
