Adrian Peterson Chooses Sides in Minnesota Vikings Quarterback Situation
There's probably no more important voice in the Minnesota Vikings locker room these days than Adrian Peterson.
The veteran running back has been one of the few positives in what's been mainly a negative scene in Minneapolis the last few years.
So when AP speaks - people listen.
And these days he's talking about the Vikings quarterback situation, with regular starter Christian Ponder out, and backup Matt Cassel responsible for the team's only win so far this season.
Cassel completed 16-of-25 for 248 yards and two touchdowns in the Vikes 34-27 victory over Pittsburgh Sunday in London.
His success thru the air allowed Peterson to find some on the ground as well, with 140 rushing yards and two touchdowns of his own.
So when AP was asked if Cassel should be the quarterback he said:
What do you think?
[Cassel] is more vocal, so he was out there and he was saying it to us in the huddle and you could see guys buying into it and keeping the huddle together.
And that is all you can ask for from any player, especially in the quarterback position.
One other important voice in the Vikings locker room has a different opinion of who the starting quarterback should be. That voice belongs to head coach Leslie Frazier:
If you are asking, our quarterback is Christian Ponder.
I don't think there will be much discussion about that.
One thing is certain: it is not a decision the Vikings have to make this week, because they have a bye.
But it will have to be addressed before the game a week from Sunday against Carolina, unless Ponder's ribs are still an issue.
In the meantime, we'll see if coach and running back can get on the same page.

Post subject: Driving Range Landfill
The Driving Range Landfill operation has resurfaced with planning application
This application is to change some of the conditions that were included in the original application 1/D/13/000972
These two applications can be viewed respectively on:
You may already have made your mind up as to what you wish to do about stopping this scheme but please bear in mind when making your comments that we are somewhat in a dilemma for we cannot undo the approval that the original application was granted in 2014. If the present application is turned down then everything reverts to the original application with its increased area and depth of material to be dumped. Or we have the alternative with this latest application for an increase in the daily maximum number of lorry movements to 30, but combined with a decrease in the required amount of landfill material down from 100,000 tonnes to 72,000 tonnes, it should all result in the work being finished in less time than the original five years providing that enough material is locally available.
Whether you support or object to the changes we at least have the chance of restating our objections to either of the schemes. The real battle will begin when the developer applies for an Environment Agency license to carryout the work. As it is inevitable that it will come to this, informing ourselves and commenting on the present application will be good training for the real battle.
You may wish to see what this forum had to say on the original application by going to 'Harcombe Valley Peace Again Threatened' under this same Planning section. Sorry but the Rhodehillgardens website no longer exists so ignore the links.
It's later than you think

Post subject:
For three years since planning permission was granted to turn the peaceful Harcombe Valley into an industrial wasteland, if only for five years!, the people of the Harcombe Valley have been living with the expectation of their peace being shattered at anytime by the sound of bulldozers stripping bare the top soil of the driving range of the Lyme Regis Golf Club to be followed by lorries disgorging thousand of tons of 'inert' waste, which would then be worked to depths of over 2.5 metres by bulldozers trundling up and down the hillside. But it didn't happen and perhaps we became complacent
The only thing stopping the commencement of the work was the nonexistence of a permit from the Environment Agency. An application was made for a Waste Recovery Plan later in 2014 but it was refused by the EA. The developer never submitted another plan perhaps because he knew that the EA would not grant one for the landfill operation as approved by Dorset County Council.
During the last three years, as you will know, all has not exactly been peace and quiet in Harcombe Valley. For a number of landfill operations have been proceeding on land adjacent to the driving range. These operations were under Waste Exemption agreements with the EA. These are small landfill operations not requiring an environmental permit.
I believe that during the last year the EA called a halt to some of these Waste Exemption activities. This is probably why we are now seeing an application to push on with the driving range landfill albeit with some of the conditions changed from the original application. You will have to decide for yourselves if there maybe a link between these halted Waste Exemption operations and the resurrection of the driving range landfill.
The main changes in the present application are that the maximum depth and the area covered by the added material will be reduced. This alone should mean that the work should be completed, with the same number of lorry movements per day, in less than the five years originally stated. All the same one of the proposed condition changes is that lorry movements should be increased to 30 per day. With all these changes why can't the developer guarantee that the project will be completed proportionally sooner than the still stated maximum of five years?
What are these changes to the original planning permission?
A list of these changes are given in the document:
Schedule 1 to Planning Permission Variation Application - April 2017.PDF
Condition No.2 Notification of Commencement.
This condition deals with the changes from dividing the area of the driving range into three rather than six cells. One cell will be worked at a time. Therefore a third of the proposed area will be worked as against a sixth of the slightly larger area of the original application. In fact 3.28 acres instead of the original 2.25 acres will be worked at any one time.
No.4 Development in Accordance with Approved Plans
Deals with changes in the profiles of the driving range.
No.12 Limitation on Type of Waste Brought onto Site
In this 'brick rubble and concrete rubble' has been changed to
'aggregates including mixtures of inert wastes of pre-crushed concrete, bricks, tiles and ceramics'. It remains to be seen how and where this concrete, bricks, tiles and ceramics will be processed off site.
We are also told that an Environmental Permit SR 2015 No.39 will be applied for. We now see why the total amount of waste to be used on the site has been reduced to 72,000 tonnes or 48,000m3 from 100,000 tonnes or 67,000 m3. Because this permit is only available for operations with a maximum volume of 60,000m3.
No.17 Maximum Importation of Material
This is increased from 10,000 tonnes, to 30,000 tonnes in any one calendar year. Elsewhere it is stated that Hansford deals in about 10,000 tonnes of waste per year. Where will the rest come from and will it, in line with No.12 above, be precrushed?
No.25 Limit on Access to Site
Changed from 20 loaded vehicles, to 30 loaded vehicles per day.
Plenty there that you can get your teeth into. Other points worth considering are:
Proximity of Dwellings to the Site
In the Planning Statement at 2.9 we are given the closest residential properties in all directions of the compass ranging between 350 and 450 metres from the closest boundary of the site. In 6.4.4 we are told what the noise levels will be at the nearest properties. In 6.4.5 we are told that noise and vibration levels should be acceptable 200 metres away at the Golf Club House. How reassuring. Then at 6.4.8 it is not considered that dust will a nuisance to nearby residential properties.
The date of the Planning Statement is April 2017. At this time 15 Starter home were being built already complete with roofs just 150 metres from the site. If such glaring objects so close to the site can be overlooked you must wonder what else has been overlooked intentionally or otherwise. The planning application must be rejected on this oversight alone.
It cannot be acceptable with hard working families living just 150 metres from the site that operations will start as early as 07:00 and go on until 19:00
Length of Operation
The stated decrease in the area and height of the landfill will result in only 72,000 tonnes of material being needed. Add to this the increase in the number of lorry movements the question springs to mind as to why is it still necessary for the operation to take up to five years. I suggest that the reason for the overall reduction is solely to enable the operator to apply for the Environmental Permit SR 2015 No.39 as stated in the Planning Permission Variation. This permit requires that the total amount of landfill must be under 60,000m3. The original planning permission's volume of material was 67,000m3 (100,000 tonnes) the new amount would be 48,000m3 (72,000 tonnes). Now we can see the probable reason that a permit was not obtained from the EA. If this change of conditions goes ahead and a permit it obtained then who will control the amount of material used in order to keep it under 72,000 tonnes? I no longer wonder why the operation will still take five years.
Pre-Crushing of Materials
The Planning Statement at 6.2.3 calls for all brick and concrete rubble to be reduced in size before being brought to site. This is open to interpretation. A demolished brick wall has already been reduced in size. The maximum acceptable size of material must be given. This condition also assumes that the person supplying the material has the facilities for the crushing of these materials. Hansford Construction may very well have this equipment but it is extremely unlikely that a small builder would.
I was originally minded that I would not object to these changed conditions on the understanding that with planning permission already granted for the original application it was a no brainer that a reduction in the amount of waste, area and height of the landfill (a misnomer if ever there was this is not landfill in the normal sense of the word) would be an improvement. I am now of the opinion that the Environment Agency will not issue a permit for the original plan. This is why Hansford Construction are submitting the application to change these conditions.
I am now of the opinion that the original application as approved by the Dorset County Council has little chance of obtaining the necessary EA permit. Therefore I will help try to stop these changes in conditions taking place by objecting to the application. Hope that you can do likewise.

Treacherous Alliance: The Secret Dealings of Israel, Iran, and the United States
In his continuing effort to bolster support for the Iraq war, President Bush traveled to Reno, Nevada, on August 28 to speak to the annual convention of the American Legion. He emphatically warned of the Iranian threat should the United States withdraw from Iraq. Said the President, "For all those who ask whether the fight in Iraq is worth it, imagine an Iraq where militia groups backed by Iran control large parts of the country."
On the same day, in the southern Iraqi city of Karbala, the Mahdi Army, a militia loyal to the radical Shiite cleric Moqtada al-Sadr, battled government security forces around the shrine of Imam Hussein, one of Shiite Islam's holiest places. A million pilgrims were in the city and fifty-one died.
The US did not directly intervene, but American jets flew overhead in support of the government security forces. As elsewhere in the south, those Iraqi forces are dominated by the Badr Organization, a militia founded, trained, armed, and financed by Iran. When US forces ousted Saddam's regime from the south in early April 2003, the Badr Organization infiltrated from Iran to fill the void left by the Bush administration's failure to plan for security and governance in post-invasion Iraq.
In the months that followed, the US-run Coalition Provisional Authority (CPA) appointed Badr Organization leaders to key positions in Iraq's American-created army and police. At the same time, L. Paul Bremer's CPA appointed party officials from the Supreme Council for Islamic Revolution in Iraq (SCIRI) to be governors and serve on governorate councils throughout southern Iraq. SCIRI, recently renamed the Supreme Islamic Iraqi Council (SIIC), was founded at the Ayatollah Khomeini's direction in Tehran in 1982. The Badr Organization is the militia associated with SCIRI.
In the January 2005 elections, SCIRI became the most important component of Iraq's ruling Shiite coalition. In exchange for not taking the prime minister's slot, SCIRI won the right to name key ministers, including the minister of the interior. From that ministry, SCIRI placed Badr militiamen throughout Iraq's national police.
In short, George W. Bush had from the first facilitated the very event he warned would be a disastrous consequence of a US withdrawal from Iraq: the takeover of a large part of the country by an Iranian-backed militia. And while the President contrasts the promise of democracy in Iraq with the tyranny in Iran, there is now substantially more personal freedom in Iran than in southern Iraq.
Iran's role in Iraq is pervasive, but also subtle. When Iraq drafted its permanent constitution in 2005, the American ambassador energetically engaged in all parts of the process. But behind the scenes, the Iranian ambassador intervened to block provisions that Tehran did not like. As it happened, both the Americans and the Iranians wanted to strengthen Iraq's central government. While the Bush administration clung to the mirage of a single Iraqi people, Tehran worked to give its proxies, the pro-Iranian Iraqis it supported—by then established as the government of Iraq—as much power…

Sometimes the biggest — and best — stories for an industry are the non-stories. These are the stories that are made up of untold tales of things that are successful and well-entrenched technologies and business practices. And in the fitness industry one of the biggest non-stories is electronic funds transfer [EFT].
The practice became widely adopted in the '80s, as health clubs began automatically collecting payment for bills from clients' credit cards or checking accounts each month, transferring the money to their own account, either through banks directly or through third-party companies. The process helps to eliminate billing, collections paperwork, and other hassles — no more mailings, processing checks, chasing late payments or resubmitting bounced checks. Most impressive of all, cash flow becomes more controlled with EFT and retention rates tend to improve as well.
"EFT is not a new thing anymore. It has been embraced so readily and it is very well understood," says Mark S. Johnson, senior vice president of Check-Free and GM of its health and fitness division. "I have never seen statistics, but I would assume it is used in as high as 80 or 90 percent of clubs, a much higher saturation than many other industries."
Bill Nichtberger of Aphelion agrees. "EFT is prevalent in the industry, and elsewhere today, he says. "There may be a few not using it, mostly due to antiquated systems, but they are truly the exception not the rule."
The reason for this high saturation rate comes down to a savings in manpower, time, and outstanding dues for clubs of all sizes.
"When I first bought my club, my staff and I spent an inordinately large amount of time 'chasing' down clients' money," says Julia Wheatley, owner of Women's Fitness Center Inc. of Harrisonburg, VA. "[EFT] stabilizes monthly revenue at my club. When people are paying their bills by choice, the priority items are going to be the rent, electricity, telephone and other 'staples' of daily life. The last thing to get paid is going to be the health club membership bill, particularly if the individual hasn't been coming to the club and therefore doesn't perceive the need to pay for something he/she is not using."
And it is that reduction in credit loses is the main selling point for utilizing EFT, particularly the services of third-party companies — despite the slightly higher rates charged than when going directly through the bank.
"A club can pay lower rates and go through a bank but the credit losses will be higher than utilizing a third-party provider," says Tamara Valdez, VP of marketing and communications at third-party provider ASF. "This is because that while the bank can collect the membership fees, it will not provide the billing, collection, and marketing support we do. This will lead to the club having to chase down delinquent accounts-the thing they are trying to avoid by utilizing EFT."
But there are some other benefits to utilizing EFT that may not be as obvious.
"Using a recurring billing process like this shows a balance to a health club's cash flow from month to month," explains Scott Elowitz, CEO of Custom Designs, one of the many companies providing third-party services to the fitness industry. "This shows a steady revenue stream to potential investors, lenders, etc. This receivable base is even more important to these people — even more than cash — because it gives real equity in the club."
And as more people accept various electronic forms of money management it will become an easier sell for clubs, even to the most old-fashioned members.
"EFT is a very accepted form of payment today," says Elowitz. "The health club industry is probably one of the most mature when it comes to EFT, and as society becomes increasing accepting of technological means of issuing payment it will become a necessity to compete."
The increasing use of electronic means of payment is evident as NACHA, a non-profit association that develops operating rules and business practices for the Automated Clearing House (ACH), reports that The ACH Network saw almost 1.6 million transactions conducted during the 4th quarter of 2001 alone, and totaling $1.59 billion.
"When I first switched to this payment system years ago, it was not as common," says Wheatley. "People, even here in our rural area of Virginia, are familiar with and have been exposed to the EFT form of payment in some aspect of their lives and are pretty accepting of it."
But when running into a customer that is still not comfortable with the process, Wheatley says it is important to use the right words to help them feel comfortable with signing up for EFT.
"I am a big believer in the verbiage that my staff uses in presenting the monthly payment option. We never call it EFT or electronic funds transfer. We also never say 'automatically deducted from your account,'" she explains. "We try to use 'softer' language to present the payment system in the most positive light possible. For example, we explain that the billing company offers many choices for payment, including selection from one of five different accounts as well as six different payment dates during the month."
While it still may take a sales pitch to convince a member to opt for EFT, the benefits to them and the club as a way of paying for memberships and more are undeniable. End of non-story.

Jared Dudley did right in Phoenix last night, scoring 22 points and adding 4 rebounds, 5 assists, 3 steals with 2 3pm in 43 minutes. The 22 points were a season high, and after starting the season looking kind of like a Dud-ley, the past two games he's looked sort of Stud-ley (hey that's the headline!). J-Duds is averaging 15 points, 4.3 rebounds, 4.3 assists, 1.5 3pm and 2 steals over the past week. He's just over 50% owned in yahoo leagues. Terrible Brandon Fraser movies aside, Dudley could do right by your fantasy team and could definitely be worth grabbing while he's playing so well.
Here's what else happened in fantasy basketball Friday night:
Andrew Nicholson – 15 pts, 9 reb, 4 blocks in 25 minutes. Three of his last four games, he's scored 14 or more points with 5+ rebounds as well. You can choose to do with that information what you will.
Nikola Vucevic – 12 pts, 17 reb, 2 ast, 1 stl. The pride of Montenegro (not Russia). If he keeps rebounding like this, Orlando fans will hardly notice Dwight Howard is still missing.
Kobe Bryant – 30 pts, 7 reb, 7 ast, 2 stl, 1 blk. Trade everyone but Kobe!
Cartier Martin – 21 pts, 8 reb, 2 stl, 1 ast, 1 blk in 32 minutes. Cartier, whose last name I can only assume is pronounced Marteeen) hit five threes and took eleven. As a fantasy player, eehh, you gotta like those odds.
Bradley Beal – 4 pts, 4 rebs. B-rad's been on a roll lately and had six straight double digit point games before tonight stinker. He's still not owned in over half of Yahoo leagues, so now might be the time to grab him.
Nick Young – 8 pts, 5 ast in 37 minutes. Young started in place of Jrue Holiday and despite an off night (4-14 FG), he still played 37 minutes. They call you Nick Young, but your lousy shooting tonight was getting real old! Young is a feast or famine type player and could be worth owning while Holiday is temporarily on the shelf.
Paul George – 28 pts, 6 reb, 3 blk, 2 ast, 1 stl, 5-7 3pm. Do you want to know a secret? John Ringo is Getting Better all the time. You've got to admit. He's so heavy.
Darren Collison – 4 pts, 1 ast in 22 minutes. He must have really pissed off Rick Carlisle with Derek Fisher (8 pts, 3 reb, 5 ast) getting the majority of the time at point guard now. The Mavs got blown out by one of the worst teams in the league, but Shawn Marion lead the way with 12 pts, 13 rebs. Dirk's coming back soon the Mavs are going "older," Fisher, Brand, Marion, Carter…there's just no room for youngsters with upside like Collison.
Jonas Valuniunas – 1 pt, 6 reb in 16 min. His name is Jonas….he dropped the wheel.
Terrence Ross – 18 pts, 5 reb, 2 ast, 2-7 3pm. Played 23 minutes, and most of that was because this was a blow out (Yes, Toronto smoked Dallas 95-74, this one must have been a thriller…) He took seven three's, missed five and still scored 18. There looks like there's promise here!
Mickael Pietrus – 7 pts (2-7 FG) 2 reb. Sure he's getting plenty of minutes, but he has been just terrible. I am steering clear for now. Averte! Averte!
Linas Kleiza – 20 pts, 5 reb. 5-11 3pm. He's been sidelined by injury but returned last night and dude can still shoot. With all the injuries to the Raptors, Linus should see plenty of time. If you're looking for points and threes, you could do worse than Kleiza. See Pietrus, Mickael.
Luc Richard Mbah a Moute – 9 pts, 7 reb, 6 ast, 4 stl, 1 blk. Oh, hello there. Not a bad little game you had there. Luc is averaging 10.8 points and 4.8 rebs over the past five games, but for the sake of my sanity, I hope I'll never have to type his name here again.
Larry Sanders – 10 pts, 10 reb, 2 ast, 3 blk. Sandman returned from a stuffy nose to put up his second double-double this month. I wrote about Sanders a few weeks back as a deeper league "if you're really desperate, I guess…"option but boy he has been ones of the hottest schmotatos in the league this month, and now averages 7.8 rebs and 3.1 blks a game. Pro tip* that will help your fantasy team!
Ersan Ilyasova – 11 pts, 8 reb, 2 ast, 2 stl, 1 blk in 25 minutes. If someone has dropped him, I might be inclined to possibly start considering thinking about the possibility of maybe deciding whether or not to pick him up.
Kyrie Irving – 26 pts, 3 ast, 3 reb. Rebounded from a poor outing (9 points, 4 rebs) in hopes of keeping his fantasy owners from killing themselves.
Anderson Varejao – 8 pts, 18 rebs. Left the game with a foot contusion (he returned), otherwise he would have had 36 rebounds.
Kevin Love – 14 pts, 9 reb before leaving with a hand injury (yes, that hand!) in the fourth quarter. X-Rays were negative, somebody loves Love. Huzzah! Also, this.
Alexey Shved – 13 pts, 8 ast, 2 stl, 3 3pm in 35 minutes. Performed very well last night. That's what she Sheved! Hilarity aside, I mentioned Shved a few weeks ago, and he's still available in most leagues. Even with Ricky Rubio set to return to-night(!) I think Alexey's minutes shouldn't take much of a hit.
Nikola Pekovic – 31 pts, 5 reb. Wait if Vucevic is the pride of Montenegro, what's that make his Monetnegran brother Pekovic? Are all people from Montenegro named Nikola? A month ago, I was calling both these guys Russian. Ah, ignorance. I'm sorry, Nikolas. Does Montenegro have a Olympic basketball team? If not, they should. Why do I not know this?
Greivis Vasquez – 15 pts, 17 ast, 5 reb in 43 minutes. General Greivis won this battle for sure (except that they lost) and is now averaging 8.6 assists a game. That's fifth best in the league along with the likes of Rondo, Paul, Westbrook and D-Williams. Greivis Christ! To make it all more impressive, he is getting it done passing to teammates who are not very good at basketball (I keed! sort of). If you need assists, I'd target Greivis before owners realize what they have.
Austin Rivers – 27 pts, 2 ast. Heeeyoooo! It was about time we see something from Austin, you know he's sunk low when you start to feel bad for him. Anyway, he shot 5-6 from 3 point land and 9-14 overall. It's his third straight 10+ point game and his fourth in the past 5 games. You probably shouldn't pick him up yet, but wanted to give him a shout out since his dad and I are cool.
Greg Smith – 15 pts, 6 reb, 3 blk. Another great game for Smith, who tore it up against the Lakers last week, and then proceeded to do nothing until last night.
Chandler Parsons – 15 pts, 9 reb, 8 ast. Pars flirted with the triple double. Can you believe this dude went undrafted in most leagues! Bing!
James Harden – 21 pts, 5 reb, 5 ast, 3 stl. I hope he dyes it white for Christmas.
Isaiah Thomas – 10-13 FG, 4-7 3pm. Channeling classic 'Zeke, Thomas went absolutely bonkers with 26 points in just 16 minutes, giving the Mighty Thunder a scare in the end of the game (eh, not really). It was actually only 13 minutes in which he did all his damage. Now if only he could start over Aaron "Why Am I Starting, I am Not Good" Brooks. Unfortunately, I don't see this changing things for I.Thomas 2, as the Kings seem to be absolutely 100% content with being terrible. But a boy can dream!
Serge Ibaka – 18 pts, 11 reb, 1 blk. Great game! But only one Iblocka!
Tayshaun Prince – 12 pts, 10 reb, 6 ast. The 2006 Pistons called, they want their player back. Can you believe Tayshaun has never made an all-star team? Yeah, me too.
Gerald Wallace – 25 pts, 10 reb, 2 stl, 2 blk, 3 3pm. I really like this guy.
Kris Humphries – 0 pts, 5rebs. I really don't like this guy. And I really really don't like siding with Kim K.
Andray Blatche – 16 prs 2 reb, 2 stl. Dray returned to the bench but still managed to score in double digits. His production should go back to normal now that Brook Lopez is back to ruining everything.
Derrick Favors – 11 pts, 8 reb in 17 minutes. I'm pretty sure him and Michael Beasely are the same person.
Luis Scola – 4 pts, 5 reb in 13 minutes while Markieff Morris has 5 pts, 6 reb and 3 blk in 18 minutes and Michael Beasley added 11 points, 3 reb and 3 ast.
Antawn Jamison – 0, pts, 1 reb in just 6 minutes. Sigh. Yeah, you can drop him now.
Jodie Meeks – 24 pts, 5 reb, 3 stl, 4-7 3pm. And yeah, if you need points and threes you could pick him up now.
Nene – 17 pts, 8 reb, 3 ast in 22 minutes. Now might be the time to buy Nene. As his minutes go up we should see a lot more nights like this from him. Or not, who knows. It's the wizards!
Andre Iguodala – 20 pts, 4 rebs, 7 ast, 5 stl, 2 blk. Shot 8-11 FG, and had his best offensive game in a while. Might not be a top offensive option consistently, but he does just about everything else so we'll let it slide.
Marc Gasol – 10 pts, 9 reb, 5 ast, 3 stl, 4 blk. Finally starting to look like the first round pick I/you/we drafted. Shot 2-10 but still managed a pretty line. Muy bien, Marc. Tanketa, indeed.
Kevin Durant – 31 pts, 5 reb, 3 ast, 4 stl, 9-9 ftm. I finally saw Thunderstruck, and although it pails in comparison to the pantheon of films such as Space Jam and Kazaam, it was still better than Like Mike. What I don't understand in these movies is how they just completely lose their "talent" overnight. I mean, 50% of their talent is derived from their height and athletic build. You telling me you can't jump anymore because some punk kid wished on a star? I learned a lesson in the movie though and that was you have to earn talent with hard work, (it also helps to be born tall and strong, with high vertical leaping ability) you can't just steal it from an All-Star with crazy gypsy magic. Also, Jim Belushi is the worst.
Join us next Saturday for another Friday recap, as fantasy basketball continues next week, all week long!

Cheetahs are a unique and beautiful creature, one which we are in real danger of losing to extinction.
Cheetahs are a unique and beautiful creature, one which we are in real danger of losing to extinction.Jerry Kay spoke to Laurie Marker, the founder of the Cheetah Conservation Fund:
Marker says that Cheetahs don't do well in protected game reserves. Many of the animals can't live in these preserves. Cheetahs are vulnerable to predators in game reserves, and when they're pushed out of them, they come in conflict with humans.
She's traveled to Namibia to find out if there are ways that we can mitigate the sitution, and benefit both the people living in Africa as well as the Cheetah population.
You can learn more about the effort to save the Cheetah at the Cheetah Conservation Fund's website here: www.cheetah.org.

It hasn't even aired yet, but an alleged incident involving two cast members from "The Real World: New Orleans" is already making headlines.
Ryan Leslie contacted the New Orleans authorities alleging his roommate, Preston Roberson-Charles, urinated on his toothbrush and used the instrument to scrub out a toilet.
According to the police report obtained by and posted on The Times-Picayune Web site, Leslie says he was forced to visit the hospital after becoming sick – something he said was caused by the alleged toothbrush incident.
"I got into a argument with my roomate (sic) preston," Leslie wrote in his handwritten statement to the police. "In the argument preston stated that he was going to do something to my belongings. Preston later came in my room and took my tooth brush (sic) off the counter and scrubbed the inside of the toilet and urinated on my toothbrush. I wasn't aware of this and continued to use my toothbrush.
"I soon started to get a sore throat and began to get a fever," Leslie's statement continued. "It was extremly (sic) painful and only got worst (sic). I went to urgent care and was tested for strep and mono both came back negative but I was diagnosed with a viral infection."
The upcoming reality star, who, according to several "Real World" fan sites is a hairdresser from Arizona, says he was given antibiotics and a steroid shot for the pain.
The police took down information from one of the MTV "Real World" producers when they visited the scene and noted the house was under surveillance, however, the police report did not note if any footage was taken in as evidence. The toothbrush, made by Sonicare, was taken into evidence.
It is unclear whether Roberson-Charles filed a statement.
A spokesperson for the New Orleans Police Department told the newspaper that no charges have been filed and that Leslie may have just wanted the alleged incident documented.
"Just because the report is written, that doesn't necessarily always mean it's a crime," Officer Garry Flot told the paper.
The Officer also told the paper, "This is a reality show," he said. "So who's to say this wasn't done just for some publicity."
The home the alleged incident happened in is owned by Baron Davis, a basketball star, who previously played for the New Orleans Hornets and now plays for the Los Angeles Clippers. It is currently up for sale by Sotheby's.
A rep for MTV did not immediatley respond to a request for comment from Access Hollywood.
"Real World: New Orleans" is expected to air on MTV later this year.

Help Wanted: Pitcher to Beat Yankees; No Experience Necessary…
Do you want to beat the New York Yankees?…
Just call up a pitcher to make his major league
debut and he is assured of getting his first major league victory against the
Yanks. Put Roy Halladay, Josh Beckett,
Cliff Lee, Zach Greinke and others on the mound, and the Yankees have a great
chance at winning. Put Cleveland's Josh
Tomlin on the mound, and it's lights out Yankees. I don't get why the team has always struggled
so much against the unknown pitchers.
Surely, the Scouting Department has a portfolio on minor league
pitchers. For whatever reason, no info
is getting conveyed to the Yankee hitters.
The 25-year-old Tomlin simply pitched much better
than 13-game winner CC Sabathia, as the
Indians rolled over the Yankees, 4-1. He
went 7 innings and only gave up 3 hits and 1 earned run; he struck out 2. CC, on the other hand, gave up 9 hits in 7
innings, and allowed 4 runs abeit 2 earned.
He also walked 3 while striking out 5.
Alex Rodriguez put another goose egg on the scoreboard
(0-for-4) in his attempt to reach 600 home runs. He could have been a hero in the 9th
inning. A home run with two outs would
have tied the game, but unfortunately, he hit into a fielder's choice to end
the game. Today was A-Rod's 35th
birthday, but I am sure that the post-game celebration will be subdued.
It was a disappointing loss, which was definitely a
team effort. I guess the flight from New
York City to Cleveland was too much.
Hopefully, the players will come out on Tuesday ready to play.
A sore left knee scratched Jorge Posada from the
lineup tonight. I'd really like to see
Jorge take the necessary time to fully recover before he attempts to play
again. The Yankees don't need to go into
September with a questionable Posada.
The Yankees lead over the Tampa Bay Rays in the AL
East has dropped to just two games as the Rays defeated the Detroit Tigers
again tonight (following yesterday's no-hitter by Matt Garza, the first in Rays
Jason Behnken/The Tampa Tribune
It doesn't seem like the Yankees are getting
anywhere on trade rumors. Their latest
speculated target, Royals closer Joakim Soria, apparently has the Yankees on
his no-trade list. I am not expecting a
blockbuster deal, because there just aren't any players of that magnitude
available. But the Yankees do need to
try and address the shortcomings of the team.
Right now, the bullpen is very leaky so that certainly deserves attention
as does a bat who can come off the bench to spell A-Rod.
This is off-topic, but I am sorry to hear the news
that former Oakland Raider Jack Tatum has passed away at age 61. Growing up, the "Assassin" was a force for
the Raiders. It is unfortunate that he
will always be remembered as the guy whose hit paralyzed the New England
Patriots' Darryl Stingley. Sadly, both
Stingley (who died in 2007) and Tatum left us way too soon…

REAL ESTATE- ON THE BLOCK- Engaging extras: Cottage and old-world details add up
Address: 1221 Hazel Street
Neighborhood: Locust Grove/ Martha Jefferson
Asking: $545,000
Assessment: $426,000
Year Built: 1929
Size: 2,500 fin. sq. ft., 897 unfin.
Land: 0.17 acres
Agent: Larry Barnett, Barnett Real Estate, 434-286-9900
Curb Appeal: 8 out of 10
This charming Cape Cod just off East High Street was formerly an over-under duplex, and the curbside view conceals what's inside: the remnants of a more elegant time in construction history. For instance, the front door takes one right into the living room featuring a stone fireplace, dark wood trim, crown molding, and hardwood floors laid in a box pattern.
The generous dining room reveals more of the same dark wood trim. Nearby, a tiny sun porch transitions to the outdoors.
The updated kitchen offers white ceramic tiled counters outlined in black. A vaulted paneled red ceiling contrasts with all the white, and a freestanding antique armoire in a corner conveys. Leading to the backyard is a mudroom or sitting room with a coat closet, a mini-fridge, and pull-outs that hide recycling. (The place is loaded with built-ins, closets, and cubbies.)
Off the living room, there's a possible office with built-in cabinets and shelving open to the room that the current owner uses as the master bedroom. Cabinets on the office side provide a half wall below an open arch. It would be possible, of course, to close off the space for privacy, but it would be a shame to lose that architectural element. Past a bath flanked by two linen closets, a dressing room with lots of storage loops around to the staircase and the mudroom.
The former upstairs apartment has been redone as a traditional bedroom level. Newly carpeted, also includes a smaller sitting room.
One of the three bedrooms has a door that opens to the outside with the idea that a balcony or deck could be added. The largest of the three might become a master suite with separate bath. Lots of light and mountain views make it a bright and open space. This level hasn't been lived in since it was redone. All fresh and new, it doesn't have the character of the first level, but it's also something of a blank slate that new buyers can tailor to their own particular style.
Around back, a two-story cottage may have income potential and separate access from the side street. With a screened porch at the garden, there is some privacy even though it's close to the house. The main level has a narrow living room and a compact vintage kitchen. Upstairs are two modest bedrooms, a full bath, and some cubby spaces for storage.
The main house gains additional living space from outdoor living areas amid the mature landscaping and small fenced lot. It has front porch with slate tile and a back deck beneath a pergola that provides full shade in the warmer months thanks to a canopy of wisteria.
This vintage city dwelling offers old-world style close to the trendy shopping and dining of the city without the higher prices of North Downtown.

Hippocrates, regarded as the father of medicine, claimed that "All disease begins in the gut". Over 2000 years later, many experts in the field of nutrition would agree that a person's overall health is largely a reflection of what is gong on in his/her gut. The "gut microbiome" – the makeup and balance of microorganisms in the stomach (i.e. Bacteria, Fungi, etc) – is the subject of many incredible contemporary clinical studies and is quite an emerging scientific field.
Personally, I am a big fan of probiotics to help maintain a healthy gut flora. Speaking from my own experience, I have found that flooding my stomach with "beneficial microorganisms" (i.e. good bacteria) has had a profoundly positive impact on my digestive and immune system health.
Several years ago, I began drinking GoodBelly, a 2.7oz "shot" of fruit flavored non-dairy probiotic supplement, that is readily available at health food stores, such as Whole Foods Market. I noticed a slight, yet inconsistent, benefit in drinking the product. I later moved on to KeVita, which is a widely available 15.2oz sparkling flavored probiotic beverage, almost like a probiotic soda. I liked this better, but I still was not seeing a consistent benefit. I finally got the courage to begin drinking kombucha, which is a flavored, fermented and naturally carbonated probiotic tea.
Kombucha is described by some as the "elixir of life". According to my research, the first recorded use of kombucha comes from China in 221 BC during the Tsin Dynasty and it was known as "The Tea of Immortality". I had long been told that kombucha tea was an acquired taste. I would have to agree with this advice, as the first one I ever tried (GT'S Original) smelled like sweaty socks and tasted sour as hell. As I began experimenting with the various flavors of GT'S, of which there are many, I developed a preference for their Gingerade product. I began drinking it consistently, enjoying the great benefits and craving it almost daily. I tried some other brands – even some that are available on tap only at health food stores and restaurants (i.e. Whalebird) – but I determined that, as far as bottled brands go, I was to be a GT'S enthusiast.
This is only the beginning of the story….
Despite loving my new kombucha tea habit, and realizing the many great benefits, it was becoming DAMN EXPENSIVE. Each bottle of 16oz GT'S kombucha retails for up to $4.00!! In other words, if I kept up this habit, I would be forking out well over $1000 per year….that is one expensive probiotic! It was after this realization that I decided to take matters into my own hands and begin brewing my own kombucha tea at home.
There are many websites, social media platforms and YouTube videos dedicated to the craft of home brewing kombucha tea. After watching many tutorials and reading/studying about the do's and don'ts, I decided to take the plunge with my 9yo daughter. One month in, and a few batches under our belt, we have yet to become masters of brewing kombucha tea….but we are having a lot of fun in the process!
Following are some photos documenting our kombucha tea adventures. Please feel free to reach out with any questions you may have regarding the process. Enjoy!

LETTER- '29 skiddoo: The fabulous, elitist Britannica
Mariane Matera, writing the October 12 Essay, "Cancel: Divorcing the daily paper," says she ended her subscription to the daily paper after 37 years. Reading that essay in a Charlottesville weekly, one might conclude she was referring to a Charlottesville daily.
She wasn't. How can we tell? Because she says, "For the majority of my years as a subscriber, I received the now-defunct afternoon paper." While the Daily Progress was once an afternoon paper (except for Saturday and Sunday editions), it switched to all mornings 16 years ago.
Most likely, since Mariane was described as "a Richmond cat lover," what she cancelled was a subscription to the Richmond Times-Dispatch, a subscription that began when the afternoon News-Leader was merged into it in (checking Wikipedia) 1992.
Wikipedia, the Hook's object of interest last week, became a wonderful source of information practically overnight, an online encyclopedia anyone can write for that's constantly being refined and improved. It's a far cry from the 14th edition of the Encyclopedia Britannica in 1929 which had to rely on entries set in stone– no changes.
No changes could be made to the entry describing the University of Virginia written by the school's first President, Edwin Alderman. No changes in the entry explaining atoms by Niels Bohr. None on Harry F. Byrd's entry on Virginia, or North Pole explorer Richard Byrd's entry about North Pole explorer Richard Peary.
Fixed in stone is Cecil B. De Mille's entry on Motion Pictures, future Supreme Court Justice William O. Douglas's entry on Bankruptcy, Lammot du Pont's essay explaining his family's industrial empire, or the history of photography by George Eastman who founded Eastman-Kodak.
It goes on and on. Alfred North Whitehead describing Mathematics, Bertrand Russell describing Relativity, Trotsky explaining Lenin.
The 14th Britannica was the epitome of an elitist encyclopedias. None was ever that grand before or after. Quite the reverse of Wikipedia, thus far the sole intellectual achievement of egalitarianism. But the potential boggles the mind.

ANAHEIM, Calif., March 2 (UPI) -- Matt Beleskey gave Anaheim a three-goal lead midway through the second period Friday and the Ducks held in edging the Minnesota Wild 3-2.
The Ducks improved to 8-1 at home this season while six of Minnesota's eight losses have come on the road.
Ryan Getzlaf and Teemy Selanne produced first-period goals for Anaheim and Beleskey's tip-in with 8:34 to go in the second gave the Ducks a comfortable lead.
Kyle Brodziak ignited Minnesota's hopes by scoring on a slap shot 29 seconds into the third period and Devin Setoguchi brought the Wild within one when he put a slap shot past Jonas Hiller with 9:23 to play.
Hiller, however, was perfect the rest of the way and finished with 31 saves while improving his season record to 6-2.
Darcy Kuemper, appearing for only the third time this year, stopped 26 shots for Anaheim.

The ages from 15 to 18 are an exciting time of life. But these years can
be challenging for teens and their parents. Emotions can change quickly as
teens learn to deal with school, their friends, and adult expectations. Teen
self-esteem is affected by success in school, sports, and friendships. Teens
tend to compare themselves with others, and they might form false ideas about
their body image. The influence of TV, magazines, and the Internet can add to a
teen's poor body image.
For parents, the teen years are a time to
get to know their teenager. While teens are maturing, they still need a
parent's love and guidance. Most do just fine as they face the challenges of
being a teen. But it is still important for teens to have good support from
their parents so that they can get through these years with as few problems as
There are four basic areas of teenage
A teenager
should see his or her doctor for a routine checkup each year. The doctor will ask
your teen questions about his or her life and activities. This helps the doctor
check on your teen's mental and physical health. It's a good idea to give your
teen some time alone with the doctor during these visits to talk in private.
Your teen will also get the shots (immunizations) that are needed at each
Teens should also see the dentist each year.
Call your doctor
if you have questions or concerns about your teen's physical or emotional
health, such as:
Also call your doctor if you notice changes in your teen's
friendships or relationships or if you need help talking with your teen.
Even though teens don't always welcome your help, they still need it.
Your being available and involved in your teen's life can help your teen avoid
risky behavior. It also helps your teen grow and develop into a healthy adult.
Here are some things you can do:
Teens really want to know that they can talk honestly and
openly with you about their feelings and actions. It is very important for
teens to know that you love them no matter what.
Learning about teen growth and development:
Seeing a doctor:
Ongoing concerns:
Health Tools help you make wise health decisions or take action to improve your health.
Teens grow and develop at different
rates. But general teen growth and development patterns can be grouped into
four main categories.
Growth and development does not always occur evenly among
different categories. For example, your teen may have a tremendous growth spurt
and look almost like an adult but may seem socially and emotionally young for
his or her age. Eventually, most teens mature in all areas of growth and
development, especially if given the right tools and parental guidance.
The word "teenager" to many people
brings up an image of a wild and reckless young person whose main purpose in
life is to rebel against his or her parents. Most teenagers do not fit this
description. Of course, there are times when any teenager may be hard to deal
with. But many teenagers are trying their best to please parents while they
work toward some level of independence.
Parents of teenagers
ages 15 to 18 are often most concerned about whether their teens will be
able to make good decisions. Parents know that the choices children make during
the teen years can have an impact on much of their adult lives. It is normal to worry. But the chances are that he or
she is going to be okay. Although your child may sometimes have lapses in judgment, know that you do have an effect on what your child decides, even if it doesn't always seem that way.
Know that you are not alone in these
types of concerns. For example, many parents worry about whether their teenager
Try to
understand the issues your teen faces. Although you
may remember some struggles from your own teen years, the issues your teen
faces are likely quite different. Stay involved in your teen's life, such as by
going to school events and encouraging your teen to bring friends to your house
while you are home. You can better see the world from his or her perspective
when you are familiar with it. Also, learn to recognize your teen's
stress triggers and offer guidance on how to manage
the anxiety they may cause. But be careful not to get too caught up in your
teen's world. If you try to take too much control, it will likely only make
things harder for him or her.
You can
help your teen between the ages of 15 and 18 years by using
basic parenting strategies. These include offering open, positive
communication while providing clear and fair rules and consistent guidance.
Support your teen in developing healthy habits and attitudes, help him or her
make wise choices, and offer guidance in how to balance responsibilities.
The following are examples of ways to promote healthy growth and
development in specific areas. But remember that many growth and development
issues overlap. For example, having a healthy body image is important for
physical development and emotional development. Use these ideas as a starting
point to help your teen make good choices that will help him or her grow into a
healthy and happy adult.
Promote your teen's
physical development by doing the following:
Promote your teen's healthy
emotional and social development by doing the
Promote your teen's
mental (cognitive) development by doing the
Promote your teen's
sensory and motor development by doing the
Talk to your teen's doctor if you are concerned about your teen's health or other issues. For example, you may have concerns about your teen:
Call the doctor or a mental health professional if your teen
develops behavioral problems or signs of mental health problems. These may

Depression in Children and Teens,
Anorexia Nervosa,
Binge Eating Disorder, Exposure to Sexually Transmitted Infections, and/or
Teen Alcohol and Drug Abuse.
It's important for your teen to continue to have routine checkups. These checkups allow the doctor to detect problems and to make
sure your teen is growing and developing as expected. The doctor will do a
physical exam and ask questions about your teen's
social, academic, relationship, and mental health status. Your teen's
immunization record will be reviewed, and needed immunizations should be given
at this time. For more information on immunizations, see:
Teens also need to have regular
dental checkups and need to be encouraged to brush and floss regularly. For
more information about dental checkups, see the topic
Basic Dental Care.
Starting in the teen years, most doctors like to spend some time alone with
your child during the visit. Although many state laws are vague about teens'
rights to medical confidentiality, most doctors will clarify expectations.

Chandelier, Illuminated
My baby SUCKS. Really well. That's important. It took her a few days to get the hang of it. But now: awesome at sucking. I'm so proud of her.
It started like this: at 2am Tuesday Jen woke me to say her waters had broken. I was confused, because we were scheduled for a Caesarean delivery at 9am, had Jen forgotten? She wasn't supposed to labor. This must be some kind of miscommunication. But no. The baby was coming. She'd heard she was to be born today and decided to take charge.
Off to the hospital we went. Fifty-two minutes before the time we had booked four months ago, she arrived: Matilda Margrett Barry, weighing 8lb 11oz, dazzling onlookers with her rich thatch of red hair.
The smell. The smell! I had forgotten how good this was. She smells like distilled contentment.
Matilda is strong and likes to have her hands near her face. Because of this, sometimes she facepalms. I have to get a photo of that and release it on the internet. She had a restless first few days, but now the sucking is under control, has been happy and very snuggly. She snuffles and snorts. Her big sister Finlay, who turned five yesterday by the way, can you believe that? Her big sister is super-super excited. Look at that smile. There's ownership.
Today we arrived home. It's been a great day. I wish you all this kind of happiness.
P.S. I once wrote a blog about how before I named my next child, I would make sure the domain name was available. Well, I completely forgot about this until Day 3 in the hospital, long after tweeting her arrival. The five panicked minutes between realizing this and securing matildabarry.com were the most nerve-wracking part of the entire experience.

Moylagh Ladies Gaelic football club was established in the 1970's when they enjoyed a string of success in both league and championship for many years under a very committed Oliver Melia. More recently the club has enjoyed success in 2014 - Moylagh Ladies Junior B Champions.
In 2015 there was no stopping our Under age girls, Moylagh came out winners in Minor Division 5, U15 & U16 Divison 4 in the League and narrowly losing out in U14 Divison 4 Final. The U14 girls were also finalists in the Meath Feile (shield) earlier in the year. Our U12s got through to a shield final in 2015 but narrowly missed out to St Marys. This fantastic success has been all down to the hard work and dedication of all the trainers, helpers and commitment of each and every player. Our numbers may be low but our spirit is high.
Oliver Melia is back again for another year with the ladies and set to whip the team into shape for the 2016 season and will hopefully help bring some more success to the club.
Teams start from u6 in a mixed setting and girls play together from u12 level. Moylagh ladies are currently competing at junior level in both championship and division 3 in the league.
Our club are fully committed to providing safe, healthy and enjoyable opportunities to all our members who take part in ladies GAA.
New members, experienced or not, are always welcome.

Gillette, WYMenu
Request for Action
An action request is the process the City uses to track a complaint received from a citizen of Gillette.
When a citizen calls the Administration Office (307) 686-5203 with a complaint, an action request is created and assigned a number. The request includes the citizen's name, address, phone number, and a brief description of the complaint. It is then routed to the appropriate department, where the department head assigns it to the appropriate division. A response to the complaint is routed from the division back to the department head, then to Administration, where it is reviewed and approved by the City Administrator.
A response is sent back to the citizen within 72 hours, however this does not always mean that the complaint is taken care of in 72 hrs. For example, if we receive a complaint about a pothole in the middle of winter, we usually cannot fix it immediately. We will send a reply back to the citizen, stating that we have received the complaint and that it has been added to the schedule to be fixed as weather permits. A copy of the action request is kept in the Administration Office and on the mainframe system.
When the Mayor or a Councilmember receives a complaint from a citizen, they call the Administration Office and the same process is used with one exception. When the response is complete, a copy of the action request is also placed in the Council general information packet, which goes out to ALL Council members for review.
To submit an Action Request by e-mail, please include your name, address, phone number, and a description of the problem.

text: Analysts sometimes add holdout questions to their conjoint surveys to test the way they have specified their models. Holdouts can also be used for out-of-sample validation. The author, Keith Chrzan, uses synthetic CBC respondents to test how many holdouts are needed to identify a true vs. a misspecified model reliably. The misspecified models were manipulated to involve known small, medium-sized, and large errors. Under medium-sized and large errors, just a handful (about 5) holdout tasks seems to provide enough data to reliably indicate that the true model is better than the misspecified one. Under relatively small misspecification error, no number of holdouts tested (up to 15) can reliably point to the correct model. Chrzan's findings demonstrate that just 1 or 2 holdouts is probably not enough to give practitioners enough evidence to compare competing models, but 5 or more will often bring enough evidence to reliably point to which of two competing models provides the best fit.

According to the WSJ, Toyota plans to unveil a "small battery electric-car concept" at next month's Detroit Auto Show alongside the new Prius. Is this a GEM or GEM Peapod competitor or something more?
With the race on to get away from icky gasoline, Toyota has announced in addition to unveiling the production version of the new Toyota Prius, it will display an electric "city car" based on a new compact model we're not supposed to know is the Toyota iQ. So it's not quite as small as a GEM electric — or even the GEM Peapod concept — but rather one step above it. Apparently, the car will slot into the space of a limited range, but affordable, electric with a possible price point around the $20,000 range. [WSJ]

An insurer cannot decline to issue a homeowner policy, cancel or fail to renew a homeowner policy for the sole reason that the customer operates a home-based child care, in accordance with state rules (WAC 284-30-700). However, insurers may exclude liability coverage for any liability that arises related to the child care business. People in Washington who operate home-based child care businesses should talk to an insurance agent or broker about seeking a separate business liability policy to insure themselves and their business in the event of a liability issue. Find a licensed agent or broker.
People who care for children in their homes typically require a license from the Department of Early Learning. Read more on DEL's website.
People who run other home-based businesses should contact their insurance agent to find out what types of coverage they may need.

Timothy Hutton knows his television history about rogue-like helpers of the oppressed.
That's why he's dreaming about a scenario where past underdog helpers, like Mr. T, could make visits on his TNT show, "Leverage," which has been renewed for a fourth season.
"It would be great to get Mr. T. on 'Leverage,' " Hutton tells PopcornBiz. "Maybe in the fourth season we should have a running theme in every show, sort of peppering in somebody from a past show like the 'A-team.' "
It wouldn't have to be big parts. Just cameos or "great little moments."
"Just be walking down the street and catch a glimpse of Mr. T. pulling down a shade, and you're like. 'Wait, was that…?' "
Hutton says he was long a fan of these kinds of shows from days past -- from "The Equalizer" to the "A-team." Now his "Leverage" team makes a living playing Robin Hood to big bad folks and it's a formula that has found an audience.
"It's a good theme," he says. "Take a bunch of renegades and get them on the right side of the law."
Hutton is more than happy with his new home on TNT, which he calls "a good fit." He feels the cable network provides a safe haven for traditional television.
"It's a place where there's a lot of support for scripted drama, while the networks are moving more towards reality," he says. "As long as there's an audience we're going to do the show."

Proposal 6 ballot would put bridges, tunnels in voters' hands WITH VIDEO
Of the six proposals that will appear on the November ballot, none has received as much publicity as Proposal 6.
If passed, the proposal would amend the Michigan Constitution to require majority support of state voters in a referendum ballot question before the state could build any new international bridges or tunnels. The measure, according to the language, would include any bridge or tunnel not in service before Jan. 1 of this year.
Ambassador Bridge owner Manuel Moroun and his various businesses funded the drive to collect the 322,000 signatures needed to put the proposal on the ballot and the big spending -- signature gathering alone cost more than $2 million -- has not abated.
So far, Moroun has spent more than $10 million to advertise in support of the proposal in just about every medium possible and the carpet-bombing of the airwaves is expected to accelerate as the election nears.
While Moroun and his surrogates say the proposal is a safeguard to taxpayers against expensive infrastructure boondoggles, there is self-interest at play.
Q&A: Michigan Lt. Governor Brian Calley on Proposal 6
In June, Gov. Rick Snyder signed an agreement with the Canadian government that paves the way for a new bridge between Detroit and Windsor that would draw traffic from Moroun's Ambassador Bridge, which handles almost all of the freight traffic between the border cities.
There generally are two arguments against the proposal. The first is that infrastructure projects are routine government business that should fall under the purview of duly elected representatives. The second concerns the wording of the proposal.
In the petition for the proposal, which will appear on the ballot in truncated form, a definition clause says: "New international bridges or tunnels for motor vehicles" shall mean any bridge or tunnel that is not open to the public and serving traffic as of Jan. 1, 2012.
Opponents of the proposal say that because this clause doesn't use "international" after "shall mean" that the proposal could be interpreted to apply to every bridge or tunnel built in Michigan, not just international bridges or tunnels. Legal analysts have roundly criticized the passage as being sloppily worded, but there are differing opinions as to how a judge would view it if the proposal passed and the matter was taken to court.

Almost 100 percent of the 92 stakeholder respondents to Visit Estes Park's Stakeholder Survey, taken in January and February this year, responded that tourism is very important to the Estes Park economy. Only one stakeholder felt it was "somewhat important," while 98.80 percent responded tourism is tops.
Asked where those tourists come from, internationally, respondents said only 10 percent came from international markets that included Germany, Japan, Canada, the United Kingdom and Australia.
Survey respondents believed that Visit Estes Park is generally headed in the right direction, focused on Estes Park as the destination, with 71.67 perecnt responding favorably.
"Many respondents cited significant improvements to Visit Estes Park's performance over the past year," Kirby Nelson of Visit Estes Park said. "Many respondents also included a desire for continued winter season attention and development. There is still confusion (or dissatisfaction) with our identity — LMD versus DMO versus CVB versus Vist Estes Park, as well as a call to action for Visit Estes Park staff to spend more time 'in the field.'"
What would stakeholder respondents tell Visit Estes Park? Thank you for what you've done over three years of operations, increasing the level of stakeholder involvement, on the one hand, and encouraging more site visits, more time and attention paid to retail businesses, continued high level of focus on the winter season and continued communication and collaboration with the Visitor Center and Visitor Services staff, on the other.

Happy 2013! I hope you all had a wonderful holiday. If you're anything like me, you're still in a fog of parties, over-consumption and sleeping in. My email inbox is bursting at the seams, much like my pants.
Starting today I'm going to try and work off the five pounds I gained the past month or so and I plan to do a lot of new cooking! I'll probably start with a detox. Yes, a detox. That's a scary word in the nutrition community, but there are lots of recommendations on how to detox the healthy way! I'll keep you posted on my progress but I want to recommend a great article I came across for those of you also looking for a post-party detox.
Good luck to us!
