BOT.
BOT.
Many are on fixed incomes and they feel they have no other options if the trailer park is sold and tore down.
A few signs in front of the park display the groups worry about the vote.
One says “Save Our Homes. No Entrance Here! Vote No. or Ten Families Go.”
Another states, “Are you willing to give up your home? Why should we.”
Tom Hoying, a former police officer in the village, lives at Lot 3 of the trailer park.
“I don’t think they need to build a new school,” Hoying said. “I know a lot of people who say they can’t afford it.”
A walk through the park, speaking to many of the residents who happened to be home, revealed it was evident that the small trailer park has become a community within a community.
“We know each other and we are very tight,” said Mary Ann Hoying, Tom’s wife. “We celebrate birthdays and holidays together. We watch out for each other’s kids. If you need to borrow a cup of sugar, there is somewhere to borrow it.”
Tom Hoying said the group feels the biggest slap in the face was how they found out about the possible sale of the trailer park.
“We found out they offered to buy the trailer park through a mailer,” Hoying said.
He showed the mailer that had been circulated by the school district’s Levy Committee to support the levy.
“It would have been nice if someone would have told us or given us a chance to buy it ourselves,” Tom Hoying said. “We would have liked the chance for the residents to buy it up.”
With the exception of Hoying’s trailer, which is less than 10-years-old, the newest trailer in the park was manufactured in 1986. This causes a major problem for most of the residents as most trailer parks have age restrictions on moving in new residents, with 25-year-old trailers easily surpassing that criteria.
One resident, Bernadette Berning, made $13,000 in repairs to her trailer three years ago since repairs were less expensive than buying or relocating and the amount fit within her budget.
Another resident, 81-year-old Alma J. Welsh, said her biggest fear is the limited options if the park is sold.
“I lost my husband two years ago,” Welsh said. “I don’t want to lose my home, too.”
Welsh can no longer walk and has back problems. As a result she gets around by wheelchair.
She said whenever she needs help, it is just a telephone call away.
“We have our own little community back here,” Welsh said. “A lot of us are working for the same thing. This is home to me. A lot of us older people have a hard time giving up things. It’s nice back here, I can feed the squirrels and the birds. There is a black squirrel that comes around once in a while. I saw it again just the other day.”
Welsh likes living on her own and can because she has a network of help in the park. She said that will end and that she would likely end up in a nursing home or assisted living if the park is sold.
Another resident, Logan Wallace, lives in the park with a inquisitive 3-year-old named, Michael.
Wallace, now 21, has been a single father since the age of 17 and is struggling to make ends meet as the young father tries to provide for his young son.
He said he definitely knows what it is like to struggle, and the less expensive housing at the park has given them the chance to succeed.
“I know it is not great, but it is home,” Wallace said. “I don’t think it is right. With the park entrance right there, they don’t need to take families’ homes.”
Wallace said the only option they may be left with is to move back home with his mother and father.
“We struggle, but we are getting started,” Wallace said. “This would be a step back.”
Michael, without provocation, also got into the conversation, albeit shortly.
“I like it here,” Michael said. “It is our own. I like all the kids here.”
Wallace said that the people had met as a group with some school officials and members of the committee, but he believes their concerns fell on deaf ears.
“It was a waste of time,” Wallace said.” They don’t care. None of them really cared.”
Welsh said she felt there is a lack of concern because of stereotypical references that follow residents of trailer parks.
“People don’t think much of trailer park people,” Welsh said. “The only time we get noticed is when something bad happens. We don’t ever have any trouble back here.”
Rick Steinke, who is the owner of the property, is originally from the area but now lives in Wyoming. His sister, who still lives in the area, collects the lot rent for him.
Steinke said that he had not originally planned to sell the property and that it had not been for sale when the school district approached him.
Sadly, the economic state of several of the residents may have helped influence his decision to sell the property.
“Everything is for sale,” Steinke said. “I had not planned to sell the property. I have been confronted by four or five people over the years but I always decided not to sell it. I wanted to use it as retirement income and pass it on to family.”
However, collecting rent from a few of the residents has been a problem at times.
“A couple of them haven’t paid rent for a few years,” Steinke said. “When I start losing money on retirement income, it is time to do something.”
He said while the lot had not been for sale, he was approached by Botkins Board of Education President Jack Koenig about purchasing the land. He has decided to sell the property if the levy goes through.
“I told him I would be willing,” Steinke said. “It all depends on how the levy turns out. A price will be discussed and it will be sold if the levy passes.”

A a decade.
The Vicksburg Post reported that Wes Bowen of Harvest Group LLC, a Tennessee tax incentive negotiation firm hired by Cameron, told supervisors the company needs new flattening presses, paint booths, cranes and an improved sprinkler system as part of an expansion.
The company is seeking assurances from supervisors that a property tax exemption will be approved. A formal request for the tax break will be filed in June 2013.

Phillips Boyd
Upon graduation from Washington College, Phil began a working career with the Dupont Company that lasted 40 years.
Most of that time was spent in finance in Wilmington, DE. There were a couple years spent in sales support in Boston in the early 1970s. During that time he and his wife Pat enjoyed vacationing along the Maine coast and the mountains of Vermont and New Hampshire. They continue to vacation there every year since returning to Wilmington.
Phil has become an active gardener with the help of Pat: move this shrub from here to there, trim this tree, plant these bulbs, etc. Kidding aside, he does enjoy gardening and volunteers each year at the Philadelphia Flower Show and the Delaware Center for Horticulture’s annual Rare Plant Auction. Other activities include “birding,” most of which is “backyard,” and running. He celebrated 30 years of running 15 to 20 miles a week last year.

How does cancer start?
You might say it starts in the lungs, pancreas or the brain. It starts when normal cells, tiny building blocks of life, become cancer cells. The cells go bad, just like the juvenile delinquents in a 1950s "B" movie. Shedding their normal inhibitions, the teens do things they know they shouldn't. Cells lose their inhibitions, too; cancerous clumps begin multiplying wildly, giving rise to a deadly tumor or blood disease.
Just as one can't usually identify the day and hour a person begins to wobble toward delinquency, it is extremely difficult to find the beginning of cancer in a single human cell.
Lawrence Loeb spends his days trying to answer this question. A molecular biologist and pathologist who heads the Joseph Gottstein Memorial Cancer Research Laboratories at the University of Washington, Loeb is at the center of a revolution in understanding the mutation of cells. It might be arcane basic science, but scientists believe that once we understand how mutations begin, we can develop new ways to fight cancer and the virus that causes AIDS.
The starting point of Loeb's obsession came in 1974, when he was a 38-year-old junior member of a team at the Fox Chase Center for Cancer in Philadelphia.
Loeb wrote an essay about how cancer cells might get started on the long road they travel toward aggressive malignancy, but he wasn't sure it was worth publishing. He showed it to a senior colleague who said: "Larry, this is the most important work you will ever do."

Aziz Ansari. (Chris Pizzello - AP) On NBC’s “Parks and Recreation,” Aziz Ansari’s character Tom Haverford probably wouldn’t dirty his Brooks Brothers boys’ suit by mowing a lawn.
But in real life, Ansari was willing to help the Central Park Conservatory with the “first mow” of Sheep Meadow before it reopens to the public this weekend.
“When I initially agreed to do this, I thought it would be later in the day and I would be getting a key to the city. Instead it’s really early and I’m getting a key to the city’s lawn mower,” Ansari joked. “I’ll put that along with the other city keys I have: the key to the city’s juicer, the key to the city’s vacuum cleaner and — of course — the key to the city’s Showtime Rotisserie Grill.”
In addition to the key, he also got more press for his new comedy special, “Dangerously Delicious,” which he released online for $5. He talked about the the special on NPR’s Fresh Air.
Watch video of Ansari mowing the lawn, via Central Park’s YouTube channel, below.

In two instances last night, Sean Burnett could have avoided what became the lowest moment of his season. Before he walked Brooks Conrad, he induced a check swing that sure looked like strike three. Before Martin Prado drilled a grand slam, the last of three balls he took also could have been ruled a swing, but of course was not.
“They said no swing, so I guess that’s the way it works,” Burnett said. “I guess when it goes your way, you get those. When you’re struggling, they kind of go against you. I’m fighting through these few weeks, and I’m just trying to come out on top.”
That’s how it’s been going for Burnett this season – he feels fine about how he’s pitching, awful about the results. He’s got a 6.46 ERA this season after last night, when he entered with two runners on and one out in the seventh and turned a 5-1 lead into a tie game as Prado homered on the 10th pitch of an epic at-bat.
“I threw the ball great, I felt like,” Burnett said. “I threw some great pitches to Prado, some close ones, some borderline pitches, check-swings. The one slider I threw him was behind him. I don’t know how the hell he got to it. I just kept making pitches. I made one mistake, I think. It cost us four runs.”
Burnett, though, has taken a step back from last season in one meaningful way. Last year, when he posted a 2.14 ERA and became one of the most effective relievers in the league, Burnett struck out 8.9 batters per nine innings, and hitters missed 21.6 percent of the time they swung. This year, Burnett has struck out 4.1 per nine, and hitters are missing 16.7 percent of swings.
“We watch Burnie throw and he’s not getting the results that he’s used to getting,” Manager Jim Riggleman said. “But the ball is coming out of his hand good. He’s throwing good. He’s made some good pitches. He threw the ball fine.”
Last year, Burnett became dominant as he mastered right-handed batters, holding them to a .182 average. They are hitting .353 against him this year. The results, he believes, have belied the quality of his pitches.
“Just luck, I think,” Burnett said. “If I had the answer, I’d tell you. I’ve thrown the ball good, tried to make adjustments. Just seems like nothing’s going my way right now.”

For one of those rare instances this season, the Wizards will face an opponent that is in a worse position in the standings. The Wizads (12-44) are in the midst of their fourth losing streak of at least five games this season, but Charlotte (7-47) has lost 11 in a row as the two teams meet for the third time this season.
The Bobcats have all but locked up finishing with the league’s worst record. The Wizards would have to lose the rest of their 10 games and John Wall has already expressed a desire to “win them all.”
In order to end their current skid, the Wizards will probably need to get off to a better start. In their past five losses, they have allowed their opponents to score an average of 29 points in the first quarter.
“It’s imperative for us to have a good start, both offensively and defensively,” Coach Randy Wittman said. “For us to be at our highest octane, especially with the injuries that we have, we have to be in transition. And to be in transition, you have to get stops. We can’t be taking it out of the basket. We have to come out and take the bull by the horns early.”
The Wizards will be without Nene and Trevor Booker for the fifth game in a row, giving Kevin Seraphin another chance to continue his improved play at center. James Singleton will also get more opportunity to convince the team to give him another 10-day contract. Cartier Martin was just given another 10-day contract on Sunday..

Conversations: Isabella Rossellini Discusses Her 'Green Porno' Project
If you were one of those people who had Isabella Rossellini on your "Five celebs I'm allowed to sleep with guilt-free" list, please just stop reading. And never visit SundanceChannel.com, and certainly never click to "Green Porno," because that's where you will find the "Blue Velvet" erotic goddess 1) dressed up in insect costumes (flies, bees); 2) simulating sex acts with giant fake bugs.
"Green Porno," a series of one-minute movies that are part of an effort to rejuvenate the short-film genre, is graphic, disturbing and often hilarious. The first season debuted last year and went viral online. In season 2, which premieres April 1, Rossellini will focus on the boudoir activities of sea creatures -- think barnacles, starfish, whales and limpets.
-- Monica Hesse
Animal sex. Why?
I've been interested in animal behavior since I was a little girl. It's my hobby -- I raise dogs for the blind, I train them. . . . I thought, if I do sex life of animals, everybody's interested. Because even if people are not so interested in animals as I am, everybody's interested in sex.
What are the particular actorly challenges associated with playing a nonhuman? We hear the worm costume was beastly.
The earthworm was the hardest one. I had a costume that was 35 feet long, and I couldn't move my arms, and I had to be at an angle lifting myself [in a stomach crunch] for hours. If I had a scratch I couldn't scratch it. . . .
I think that partially I do all the roles because I wouldn't know how to direct an actor if he asked me: "What is the motivation here? How do I characterize this?" That's why I have to work with myself. I couldn't ask another actor to do this.

The terrorist organization Hamas has launched its own news group, Al Rai, which means Opinion, with a staff of 15 writers who will “focus on the Palestinian issue, and Arab and international news relating to this issue,” according to the agency’s spokesman.
Hamas — designated a Foreign Terrorist Organization since 1997 by the U.S. State Department — controls the Gaza.
“The first official news agency of the [Hamas] government has been established … under the supervision of the government information office,” said office director Salameh Maaruf, in an Israel National News report. “It will be an important source of information on government activities, news releases and letters from the [Gaza] prime minister.”
The news group will also report on views and activities of rival group Fatah, Mw. Maaruf said, in the Israel National News report. Fatah is headed by Mahmoud Abbas, chairman of the Palestinian Authority.

China's ruling communists opened a pivotal congress to initiate a power handover to new leaders Thursday with a nod to their revolutionary past and a broad promise of cleaner government while keeping off-stage the main event — the bargaining over seats in the new leadership.
Both are seen as part of a generation of leaders more comfortable with the West than their predecessors, said Ding Xueliang of Hong Kong University of Science and Technology.

I'm very causcos on voting for a bill that has anything to do with broadcasting.
godlovesu2(logged-in user) September 21, 2009, 5:21pm (report abuse)
Any bill that states what it is for then adds for other purposes, should be rejected unless those other purposes are clearly defined.

You are so right godlovesu2! I believe that is the most harmful wording in any legislation as it leaves the door wide open for...anything.

Creative Watch Designs for the Artistic Soul
Tuesday, October 4, 2011
If you’re an artistic person, then you probably don’t want a run-of-the-mill watch. Instead, consider owning a watch that reflects as much personality, flair and uniqueness as you do. There are a wide selection of watches out there to compliment every taste. Watches are meant to be functional; it’s true. However, they can, and are often used to make a statement. Need some ideas about an artistic watch that will reflect your inner (or outer) artist? Then read about some of these exciting, creative designs on the market.
The Artistic Series by Swatch
Whether your favorite color theme is a classic black and white or you prefer a collection of vibrant color, Swatch has many watches to choose from. One unique from the rest, each watch will give you something beautiful, interesting and best of all, artistic to look at anytime you need to know the time or simply want to look at a piece of artwork! Try The Swatch by the Gary Card Selection, which is full of interesting color patterns, geometric graphics and detailed design you can’t find anywhere else. The Artist Series Watches by Gary Card, David Benedek & Carrie Munden display many designs, ranging from checkerboard bands and bold graphic designs overlaying classic art deco. Pick and choose from their many masculine and feminine options, and you’re sure to find one that suits your eclectic taste.
Kisai RPM LED Watch
For any night owl looking for something a bit different than the average watch, the Kisai RPM LED watch is a perfect choice. With its black screen and disappearance of the traditional watch face, it looks more like a turntable than a watch itself. It displays the time in a unique reflection of itself, with minimal design that makes it look like you’re staring at an artistic turntable, ready to hear the beats turn up at any moment! It’s water resistant, comes with rechargeable batteries, and includes a simple clasp on the band for a no hassle way to place it on and off your wrist. Kisai is a Japanese company, and a clever one at that. They’ve designed a watch not for the average Joe, but for someone that can appreciate a truly artistic design that gives off as much versatility and creativity as they do themselves.
EleeNo EG6
If you’re looking for some art-on-the-wrist, the EG6 made by EleeNo is a perfect combination of the creative flair and uniqueness you want in a decorative piece of wrist ware. The EG6 offers many unique designs, all of which have different sizes and shapes to choose from. The face is the most interesting part of it all, with red/white, green/white Tetris-like designs that give off an animated vibe. For a graphic design watch, the EG6 is affordable while still being practical. It offers an LED backlight, LCD time display and the opportunity to read time in both single minutes and ten minute intervals. Accessorize even more by choosing from a bright lime green, pink, sky blue or black wrist band for that extra coordination you desire.

Water can cause
more destruction than any other force affecting your home, even more so than
fire. Water causes initial damage, and then continues to do so for as long as
it is allowed to remain standing. When your home suffers water damage, you need
to act fast. Water Cleanup procedures should begin as soon as possible in order
to avoid long term damage to your home or business.
Water damage
may be the result of any number of causes, from severe weather related flash flooding,
to burst pipes or overflowing sinks or tubs, but the overall remedy is always
the same, to completely remove all of the water and thoroughly dry out all
surfaces. Failure to properly do so can
provide the basis for various long term problems such as mold and structural
instability.
Fortunately the
professionals at Water Damage Local.com are available 24 hours a day, 7 days a
week and we offer emergency response within 60 minutes to Glen Cove. An IICRC certified technician will assess the
problem and begin water cleanup procedures immediately.

Only double or nothing will do
The eponymous company Ruslan Kogan started six years ago is now the country's biggest online consumer electronics retailer. Photo: Craig Sillitoe
'I'm the best poker player in the world,'' he says, twice, looking me in the eyes and not blinking. Ruslan Kogan is sitting in a comfy chair in his corner office on an industrial street in South Melbourne, wearing a baseball cap, straight face and dark stubble. A replica Statue of Liberty stands behind him in the shade.
Hell, this office is like a shrine to great deeds. Framed prints of Hoover Dam, the Manhattan skyline and a bronzed Atlas, holding up the heavens outside Rockefeller Centre, are on the walls. On a wood bookshelf are 10 copies of Ayn Rand's Atlas Shrugged with uncracked spines, and Who's Who in Australia 2010-11.
Kogan's own entry is marked with a pink sticky note. So who is he? The richest Australian under 30, with an estimated wealth of $62 million from selling cheap televisions and computers online. He's the housing commission kid made good. The eponymous company he started in his parents' garage six years ago is now the country's biggest online consumer electronics retailer, with an expected turnover of $150 million this year (up from about $22 million in 2011).
Here's a guy - only 29 and still dropping off his washing to his grandmother's - bragging about increasing profits sixfold while Harvey Norman, David Jones and Myer have slumped about 20 per cent apiece.
Kogan has his sights set on being Australia's biggest technology retailer ''in the next three to five years''. Would you settle for second best, I ask. He squirms. ''Second-biggest retailer! Nah, what's the point of that! That's like you're working really hard and trying to do something just to not even be the best at it.''
He's riding the big wave of consumers online, baiting established retailers such as Gerry Harvey as overpriced and out of touch. Once upon a time, Harvey was the brash young retailer selling vacuum cleaners door to door. Kogan, he has said previously, is a ''con'', selling ''unbranded shit'' - but he doesn't want to give his young rival any more free publicity. ''Ruslan Kogan is a problem for me,'' he tells me on the phone. ''I have nothing to say on Ruslan Kogan … If you use my name in this story don't call me again.''
''Failureisnotanoption'' is Kogan's wireless network name. For Kogan, that means everything from running his business to running at the gym. ''I will sometimes be in the gym with a mate and he will come up to me and say, 'Mate, I don't want to be calling an ambulance, look at you'. And I'll be like, 'No, my goal is 10 kilometres at a speed of 12km/h. You might have to carry me out of here but I am going to finish that.'''
Why not just stop running? I ask. ''Because that wasn't the goal. I can't even imagine getting off,'' he says.
Google ''Ruslan Kogan'' and ''poker'' and you find he once rose as high as eighth in a No Limit Holdem competition at Crown Casino, winning the grand sum of $363. But that's not a patch on how well he reckons he plays the game.
Perhaps it's unfailing self-belief or bluff or both, but he's the Muhammad Ali of modesty. ''I make the best bolognese in the world, without challenge,'' he says, when our conversation turns to cooking. Swiss tennis great Roger Federer used to be his favourite tennis player, until he started losing. In the course of three interviews, Kogan name-checks himself favourably with Thomas Edison, Charles Darwin, Henry Ford, Kerry Packer, Richard Branson and Steve Jobs.
Perched atop the bookshelf in his office is a 1984 Apple Macintosh computer from Harvard University. It's part of Kogan's ''tech museum'', highlights of which include several Nokia 5110 mobile phones in boxes.
Jobs was a visionary, he says. ''He was also an excellent showman and marketer, which is why everyone knows about Steve Jobs and everyone knows about the achievements of Steve Jobs.''
There is a touch of the showman about Kogan, too, driven in part by the desire for people to know his name (''Ruslan'' translates as ''Russian warrior'', he says). He pitches himself as the consumer's champion but boasts a BMW Z4 convertible and black Hummer. He dresses in IT chic - baggy shorts, T-shirt and trainers - and walks like an automaton, arms swinging by his sides. The name Kogan is printed on A4 paper and stuck to the front door of the office with sticky tape - this for a company that boasts close to 10,000 customers a day.
Being the best is something Kogan has worked hard at from a young age. At nine he built his first computer. At 10 he found his first job: collecting stray golf balls from the course near his family's housing commission flat in Elsternwick and selling them for 50¢ each. By 11 he was washing cars at weekends and was, he says, ''financially self-sufficient''.
''He was the pimp of the schoolyard,'' says David Shafer, his classmate at Melbourne High School and now executive director of Kogan. ''He was a bit of a prankster, a bit of a loudmouth, got into a lot of trouble. He was a bit of a hustler, he always had a bit of a side business going on.''
The young Ruslan sounds a little like Charlie Bucket before he found the golden ticket in a bar of Wonka's Whipple-Scrumptious Fudgemallow Delight. ''My parents got to Australia in 1989 with $90 in their pocket. My dad would literally go from learning English in the morning to driving a taxi, then to doing pizza rounds, then to delivering pamphlets in the street. My mum would clean at one cafe, then another, then be a waitress at another,'' he says.
''All through growing up, whenever we would be in a supermarket I would grab this candy or that and the answer was always, 'No, we can't afford it'. I realised from a pretty early age that if I actually want something I am going to have to go get it myself.''
Kogan was six when his parents, Alex and Irene, left Belarus with him and younger sister Svetlana. The family soon settled in a two-bedroom housing commission flat in Elsternwick. I ask Kogan to show me around his old digs. ''Ah, the rags-to-riches story,'' he says, smiling.
The four-storey commission blocks are what you might expect: rubbish scattered next to a line of garbage bins, dreary curtains drawn over dirty windows. Kogan points up to his old home on the first floor, where he lived from age seven to 15. ''It feels eerie,'' he says. ''The windows haven't changed, the blinds haven't changed.''
His bedroom looked over rusted clothes lines. Now he lives in a corner apartment 18 storeys above St Kilda Road, with a view over Albert Park Lake, the city and bay. His rent is ''a bit over'' $1000 a week. He also owns an apartment on the building's 10th floor.
''When I lived in this place I didn't know any better; this was life, this was how it goes,'' he says, looking around the council blocks. ''I guess to develop the hunger, to want to move up in life, you might have to start somewhere like this.''
Kogan's parents now live in a neat, single-storey building on a quiet street in Elsternwick. They moved there after leaving the housing commission, and rebuilt it in 2006. When the building was delayed they appointed Kogan, then 23, as project manager. ''It was two months behind schedule and my parents were getting really worried because of the money. So I came in, sacked everyone and started from scratch,'' he says. ''I used online tools to find new tradesmen, had contracts drawn up with the right incentive structures and penalties if things were late.
''I took the project from being two months behind schedule and over budget to being three months ahead of schedule and under budget.''
I am here to talk to his mother, Irene, but when I arrive Kogan pulls up wearing a blue ''Just Do It'' T-shirt. We sit at the dining table and eat teaspoons of Irene's home-made plum jam over tea. ''He loved technology from a very young age. The first money we save we buy a computer for him. He loved it,'' she says. (Kogan, who says he has a photographic memory, recalls it was an IBM 386.)
Irene shows me her son's old school reports, which describe a boy who was inventive and naturally inquisitive, but a troublemaker. ''I don't like authority because I think it numbs your brain,'' he says.
He proudly prescribes to the radical libertarianism of Russian-American writer Ayn Rand, recently described in The Guardian as the ''ugliest philosopher the postwar world has produced''.
''Rand's is the philosophy of the psychopath, a misanthropic fantasy of cruelty, revenge and greed,'' it said. The wealthy of her world are depicted like Atlas ''holding up a world beset by spongers''. The only moral course is pure self-interest, with no role for government beyond police, courts and the armed forces.
It is curious Kogan, a product of public education, supports such a philosophy. I email him The Guardian article for comment but he refuses to read beyond the first three sentences, saying the author either doesn't understand Rand or is misquoting her. Rand's philosophy is ''based on the principle of individual rights for all people - rich or poor'', he says.
He compares himself to Rand's character Howard Roark, an aspiring, uncompromising architect from her 1943 novel The Fountainhead. Roark, he says, ''was basically 20 years ahead of the curve, so everybody would talk him down … So I see a lot of parallels in that.'' I ask him what he thinks of Rand's 1957 novel Atlas Shrugged. ''I haven't finished it yet, but I know the whole drift,'' he says.
Kogan reckons he tried about 20 businesses - including web design and mobile phone repairs - before starting his namesake company in 2006. He left his job as a management consultant at Accenture on a Wednesday and was up and running by Sunday, financing his first order of TVs through presales and loans from friends.
The family dining table was once a makeshift packing area. Goods were stored in the garage and later stacked by the front door for delivery. It's a simple but profitable business model: Kogan buys electronic parts from suppliers around the world and builds products cheaply in a Chinese factory, before selling them online in Australia and Britain. Savings, he says, come from cutting out bricks-and-mortar costs as well as middlemen such as exporters, agents, manufacturers and distributors.
Online spending surged about 26 per cent over the year to the end of February, while year-on-year growth for bricks-and-mortar retailers was 1.7 per cent, according to National Australia Bank.
Many old-school retailers have viewed the internet with suspicion. Last month, David Jones chief Paul Zahra admitted the company had been too slow to move online and was playing catch-up.
''We aim to be Australia's largest retailer within the next three to five years. Largest retailer, full stop,'' Kogan says in our first interview. Later he corrects himself, saying he had meant the ''largest technology retailer''. Even that is a tough ask: Kogan's $22 million turnover last financial year pales against the multimillion-dollar sales figures for JB Hi-Fi and Harvey Norman.
Kogan products compare favourably on price but poorly in terms of quality, says Choice spokeswoman Ingrid Just. ''Kogan, you could say, is a pretty innovative model, it's just that when it comes to our tests and how his products compare to others in the market it has never been in our 'what to buy' list.''
But people like cheap stuff - so many people, in fact, that Kogan could retire now. ''[But] the money to me doesn't represent what you can buy, it represents what you have achieved,'' he says. ''So I love the challenge, it's what makes me happy: my goal is happiness.''
So what makes him happiest? He wriggles in his chair, thinking. ''Being healthy makes me happy, achieving goals, seeing people use technology makes me happy. It's not the money that drives it, it's the challenge, it's the game. I'm halfway through a poker tournament, I can't just throw my chips in and walk away.''
Kogan's operations manager, Dan Beahan, is a former professional poker player who met his boss at a late-night game in St Kilda. ''He normally didn't come in until 10 or 11 at night, play a few hands madly just to get his little fix and then out the door,'' Beahan says.
''He thinks he was great, I think he was terrible,'' he adds, laughing. ''He would sometimes move all in and not even look at his cards, you know, say, 'Come on, boys, take me on'.''
When I mention this to Kogan he insists he takes only calculated bets, in business and play. ''Your aim in the poker game is for others to think one of two things: either that you're stupid and a bad player, or that you're erratic. So I want the good players to think, 'Yeah, I've got a full house but is he holding four of a kind?' My aim is to make myself as unreadable as possible,'' he says.
''If the goal was money I wouldn't be here today. Rather than cashing out and saying I'm done, I've got it all reinvested in the next hand of blackjack. I'm going for double or nothing, and I am going to do double or nothing again after that because it's the part of the business that is driving me.''

TWO people faced Mandurah Magistrates Court today after police officers found bestiality images on their mobile phone.
Darren Michael Lynch, 39, of Camillo, and co-offender Helen Anne Hoekstra, also 39, of Mandurah, pleaded guilty to possessing an indecent or obscene article.
The court heard that on September 20 police arrested Mr Lynch on a different matter while the two were at Coles Xpress service station in Singleton.
Police officers took them both to Rockingham Police Station for questioning and police were given permission to search one of their phones.
Police found three images on the phone of women engaging in sex with animals.

As promised here is Chapter 5!
Chapter 5
Since Rosalie had invited Sarah and her parents for dinner, she closed the café earlier. Rosalie had informed her that if she wasn’t up to par yet, she didn’t need to attend the dinner. Sarah had told her yes, seeing as she was the couple’s wedding planner.
Throughout the day all Sarah could think about was Liam’s wedding. If she could only be granted a wish, she wanted it to be her saying ‘I do’ in front of Liam. But how could she? She wasn’t good enough for the man everyone adored. Unlike Madeline, Sarah was a withering flower hanging on to its last petal. She had accepted the fact that she was sick. When she found out five years ago, she thought her world had ended. Who would accept a disease such as Parkinson’s? It crushed her to know that she would not be able to live the normal life she had always dreamt of.
It was rare for her age, to get Parkinson’s disease, but sadly for Sarah she had been diagnosed when she was twenty. It was her second year in college when her symptoms first started showing up. The sudden tremors and uncontrollable shaking had appeared first. Sarah thought it was just fatigue and tiredness from her busy schedules, but clearly she was wrong. One of her classmates noticed and had informed her about the possibility of her having Parkinson’s. She laughed it off saying it was impossible since she was young, but all that were proven wrong after getting a checkup. The doctored had sadly informed her of the she was suffering from Parkinson’s. Sarah at first couldn’t believe it and decided to have another doctor check, but the results were the same. She had been diagnosed with an incurable disease called Parkinson’s.
Not knowing what to do and showing more symptoms, she decided it would be best to return home. She didn’t want to burden her parents of the disease, but knew they had the right to know. Jonathon and Heather were quite surprised when Sarah returned. She was scared to let them know, but in the end she had told them the truth.
Sarah’s mother could not believe it. She knew the disease ran in her family but she never would have imagined her daughter actually acquiring it so early. Heather knew how horrible a disease Parkinson’s was. It broke her heart knowing her only daughter suffered from it.
Despite knowing her limitations now, Sarah strived to live as normally as possible. She moved back after dropping out of college. She sought after treatments that could prolong her life, and it had been successful in the first two years. Her parents had also persuaded her to inform the Phillips; since they were family. The couples were heartbroken upon hearing Sarah’s condition. Rosalie took it the hardest since she had been so close to Sarah. She wanted to immediately tell Liam about it, but Sarah wouldn’t let her. In the end she had made a promise to keep it a secret.
It was a routine checkup for Sarah this morning. For the past years only her right side of the body showed the most symptoms but lately the other side has as well. She knew that as the disease progressed it would affect the rest of her. She had been sleeping less, had trouble with writing the simple things and seemed to have trouble standing. The past month she had been checking in with her doctor to have more tests done and the result came in today. Sarah knew that Liam had arrived; she wanted to at least seem normal to him if ever they meet.
“Hello Dr. Wallace,” Sarah greeted as she took a seat in the clinic room.
Dr. Wallace smiled cheerfully at Sarah, “Morning Sarah, how have you been lately?”
“Good,” she simply replied, “Haven’t gotten much sleep lately but other than that I’m fine.”
The doctor smiled before turning to his report. He knew it wasn’t good news, but she needed to know. “Sarah, the medications we’ve been trying lately has not given good results.”
Sarah nodded, “Okay…”
“Sarah, the latest treatment we’ve given you has not improved your situation.” Dr. Wallace explained, “The dopamine treatment failed to lessen the showing of symptoms. Your test also shows the disease has been progressing much faster than normally. It’s rare for this disease to progress in this much speed, but sadly yours have. The neurons in your brain have drastically fallen.”

My name is Racheal Lopez. I am short and full of energy. I love everyone and hate no one!!! I live my life as happily as I can and have through all the bad times in my life. I look younger and act older than I am. I do like to write but i refuse to post a story until i am completey finished. I will warn ahead of time though....I am terrible with grammar.

1. The other app supports pausing. You can tell because the small playing triangle appears in the top status bar.
2. Waze and other app are set to output audio to different sources. Otherwise, Waze just fades in and out.
I agree that there should be an option to pause or fade even if they are using the same output.
However! iOS restricts Waze's abilities in that if Waze is set to output via speaker and your audiobook is going over bluetooth streaming, iOS is the one which stops the audiobook to allow Waze to output via speaker. iOS only allows one output method for ANY app currently outputting audio.

Honda is recalling 748,000 of its Odyssey minivans and Pilot SUVs, the second major recall of those models in just over a month.
The company said that some of the driver's-side airbags in these vehicles potentially were assembled without some of the rivets that secure the airbag's plastic cover. If the rivets are missing, the airbag may not deploy properly, which would increase the risk of injury in a crash.
Honda said it is not aware of any injuries that have occurred as a result of the problem..

Working for the Weekend: Critics picks for 5/6-5/8
May 5, 2011
Kelly Kleiman
The Conquest of the South Pole at Strawdog Theatre has nothing whatsoever to do with the conquest of the South Pole. Well, maybe that's a bit strong: it's true that the unemployed miners in this contemporary Russian play find some sort of relief from their lives by fantasizing that they're Norwegians racing to the Pole against the English party led by Scott. But the fantasies have limited power to overcome the men's despair, and the men have even less power to change their lives.
Conquest is a distinctively European work, borrowing blackouts and scene announcements from Brecht and existential despair from Beckett. But the all-American (and always excellent) Strawdog troupe, under the sensitive direction of Kimberly Senior, inhabits these characters fully and richly. Particularly remarkable is Senior's work with and through Jenny Avery; between them they manage to make the wife character, often an afterthought, into the emotional and thematic center of the production. And it goes like the wind: 80 minutes, no intermission. Through May 28 at the Strawdog on Clark Street in Lakeview.
And, in the department of utterly reliable companies, tonight Steep Theatre in Edgewater will open Festen, a drama of family revelations in the tradition of Steep's excellent Brief History of Helen of Troy and Harper Regan. If you missed Steep's recent rendition of Mamet's Lakeboat, you missed something really special; so (though I haven't seen it yet) my suggestion is that you don't miss this one. Through June 11; tickets $22.

Give her credit for chutzpah. And for a conscience. Moved by the pilfered belongings she saw at the Auschwitz-Birkenau Memorial and Museum in Poland, choreographer Kate Corby launched a two-year project on genocide. She’s halfway through.
Her solo Brute—exploring the isolation and grief of female survivors—surrounds dancer Emily Miller with 100 pounds of red clothes.
Catch, which focuses on empathy, was the result of Corby’s effort “to understand the most heinous of human brutality,” she says. In part the result of reading Frans de Waal’s 2009 study of empathy in apes, it incorporates “the ritualistic call and response of animals in the wild.”
The project hasn’t been easy.
“I’m thinking my next project will have to be about sunshine or babies or something like that,” Corby says.
Right. It’s hard to imagine this smart, committed choreographer—whose half-funny, half-menacing trio Go wowed the crowd last summer at the A.W.A.R.D. Show!—doing something truly lightweight.
Kate Corby & Dancers performs these three works plus a new duet one weekend only at tiny Link’s Hall. Expect this excellent fringe-y company to take Wrigleyville global.

First it was a novel, then it was a 1978 animated feature film with guys like John Hurt and Zero Mostel providing the voices, and now Watership Down is live on stage as adapted by Lifeline Theatre Company.
However you slice it, this tale by Richard Adams concerns a heroic band of--uh--rabbits searching for their very own promised land. Actually, I think they've found it in Millennium Park, although they have to share it with the geese. Watership Down continues through June 19 at least.
Just about the hottest young playwright around these days is Sarah Ruhl, whose tremendously varied works have been short-listed for a Pulitzer Prize and won a slew of other awards.
In Chicago where she was born and raised, Ruhl has affiliations with the small Piven Theatre in Evanston and the mighty Goodman Theatre in The Loop.
Right now, the Goodman's got her in romantic comedy mode with the world premiere of Ruhl's Stage Kiss, a backstage look at actors as lovers both onstage and off. Stage Kiss runs through June 5.

A Surgically Implanted Camera And More At New Arab Art Museum
December 29, 2010
NPR Staff.
It will be home to more than 6,000 pieces of modern and contemporary Arab art. More than 200 of these will be on display initially, some of which push traditional cultural boundaries.
Wassan al Khudairi is the director of the museum. She's tired of talking about perceived censorship in Arab art instead of the actual artwork. Many people assume that modern Arab art is somehow innately different than Western art.
"Arab artists were engaging with the modern art movement in the West," she says. "What makes it Arab is that the artist is coming from an Arab context. And so you will find works that are abstract, cubist, surrealist ... You know, it's about an engagement with what was happening at that time, and not an alternative modernity."
The Mathaf has commissioned 23 contemporary artists to produce original pieces of art. Wafaa Bilal is one of those artists; he had a webcam surgically implanted into the back of his head. The camera takes a picture every minute and sends those images to the museum.
Bilal believes photographers hold tremendous power to shape images, depending on how they look through the lens. "I wanted to lose that subjectivity over the image and arrive to the objective image that is not influenced by the power of our eyes," he says.
The Mathaf's opening has been anticipated not only in the region, but in the rest of the world as well. Shadi Hamid, the research director at the Brookings Institution's Doha Center, thinks the museum may be a sign of shifting power in the region.
"It's not just about diplomacy or traditional foreign policy," he explains. "It's about getting involved in the arenas of culture, the arts and education, and this has been the area where Arab countries have been lagging." Copyright 2010 National Public Radio. To see more, visit.

Occupy protesters and city officials meet for the first time
October 27, 2011
Occupy Chicago and city officials will meet for the first time Thursday afternoon. Both sides say there is no specific agenda, but that they're meeting to open up a dialog. Chicago's Corporation Counsel is meeting with attorneys representing Occupy Chicago.
Cathy "Sugar" Russell is an Occupy spokeswoman.
"I think a realistic goal is an opening of communication lines. I think there's a lot of people that are going to want an instant, the Mayor's office giving us some place to occupy and have everything resolved. I just don't think that's realistic."
Russell says the group's leadership will discuss information from the meeting tonight and could decide on what actions to take next.
Spokesman Roderick Drew with the city's law department says the city respects people's right to exercise the First Amendment and will continue enforcing laws to protect public safety.
This past weekend, 130 people were arrested after protesters tried to camp out in Grant Park after closing time. Russell says she expects this weekend to be calmer.

Andrew Johnson was born in North Carolina but moved to Greeneville when he was a teenager.
He had a life in East Tennessee before he was president.
Andrew Johnson's widowed mother apprenticed him to a tailor when he was nine years old.
"While he was working for the tailor, people would come in and read to the workers and it sort of impassioned Andrew Johnson," Kendra Hinkle said.
Andrew Johnson's history is a specialty of Kendra Hinkle with the National Park Service.
She said as a teenager, he moved his mother and his stepfather to Greeneville in 1826. It was the place where he had met his future wife.
"Opened a shop, married the girl, the rest as they say is history. This building he bought at public auction and his daughter always said he rolled it from Main Street down to this location on logs. And she said that everybody in town turned out to see it," Hinkle said.
It was right across the street from where he lived at the time.
"He continued the tradition of having people read to him while he worked. He paid 50-cents a day for someone to read," she said.
Andrew Johnson's wife also encouraged his reading skills but Eliza did so much more than that.
"She was the one who could mollify his temper, she would pat him on the back, she would say two words -- those were 'now Andy' -- so she could kind of calm him down and get him going on a different path if need be," Hinkle said.
His path to politics began in his tailor shop.
"This building became the hang out spot of town. This is where all the men gathered, they solved all the world's problems, debated all the issues, and before long Johnson realized he had a knack for it," she said.
He was elected alderman and mayor...
"He held nearly every elected office you can hold on the path to the presidency," she said.
After he was president he lived in a house down the street and took up gardening. But he missed politics.
"He ran twice for the Senate and the House and eventually on the third try to got back into the Senate. So far he is the only president ever to return to the Senate," she said.
He returned to Greeneville where he is buried. He was a tailor who became president.
"He considered himself on of the working class and he associated with the common man which he called it. And I think from then until now that's one of the things that makes him enormously popular with the people," she said.
Andrew Johnson's actual tailor shop remains in its original location enclosed in the museum building at the national park.

The 101st Airborne Division will hold a color casing ceremony as it prepares to again deploy to Afghanistan.
The event is scheduled for Friday afternoon at the sprawling Army post on the Kentucky-Tennessee state line. A statement says the color casing ceremony is the final step of preparing for deployment. The 101st Airborne Division headquarters is scheduled to assume operational control this summer of NATO's Regional-Command East in Afghanistan.
The last time the division held a color casing ceremony was in 2010 before it deployed to Afghanistan.

A judge in Hickman has set a date to try a man in the killing of Hickman Mayor Charles Murphy.
WYVY-FM in Union City, Tenn., reported Fulton County Circuit Judge Tim Langford on Wednesday scheduled the trial of Tommy Lattus of Hickman to begin April 22, 2013.
Murphy was fatally shot in January.
Lattus' initial indictment was dismissed and a mental evaluation ordered. After psychiatrists at Western State Hospital in Hopkinsville determined Lattus was competent for trial, a new indictment was issued Nov. 8 by a Fulton County grand jury.
At defense attorney Dennis Null's request, the court set a hearing on Feb. 14 for a possible plea agreement.

Binghamton, NY (WBNG Binghamton)
The Binghamton Senators will be without one of their forwards for two of the three games this weekend. The AHL announced Tuesday that B-Sens left wing Darren Kramer has been suspended for three games.
The suspension is a result of Kramer leaving the bench to start a fight during the B-Sens game with Albany on Saturday.
Kramer has already served one game of his suspension, so will only miss two of the games this weekend. He says, he feels the suspension was a little harsh.
"It's something that is kind of out of my control. I mean it was nothing that was intentional, I was trying to defend one of my teammates, I thought it was a legal line change, and that's how it goes sometimes," said Kramer Tuesday. "I was trying to do the right thing, and it turned out there was six guys on the ice. It's something I'll deal with and I'll be ready to go on Sunday again."
The B-Sens get back on the ice Friday night as they start a three game road trip at Hamilton.

By Kirk HaverkampProvided by
When shopping for a mortgage, most borrowers focus on trying to get the lowest interest rate. But you can also save a lot of money by paying careful attention to the fees paid at closing.
Fees can add up. In fact, some lenders use higher fees, or closing costs, to compensate for an interest rate that's lower than their competitors, but which actually ends up costing the borrower more over time.
Closing costs are the various itemized charges tacked onto your loan at closing. Ranging anywhere from a few bucks to several thousand dollars, they're supposed to be payment for specific services provided to you in setting up your loan. However, these fees can vary significantly from lender to lender and in some cases -- so-called "junk fees" -- do nothing more than pad the lender's profit margin.
Start with several loan offers
So how do you know what to look for? To begin with, shop around and obtain competing loan offers from several different lenders -- at least three or four. Each will provide you with a "good faith estimate" detailing the interest rate they're offering AND a listing of the various fees, or closing costs, that will be charged along with the loan.
One thing you'll probably notice right away is that the fees vary from lender to lender -- not just in what they charge, but also in the specific fees they charge as well. Part of that is because individual lenders may have their own terminology for naming the various or they may group several services under one name that other lenders bill separately for.
No matter. The key point is that you want to see what the total fee charges are. That's the bottom line. If one lender's fees are significantly higher than another's, they'd better be offering a very good interest rate to compensate.
About discount points
Before we go any further, a word about points. Points, also called discount points, are a way of buying down your interest rate by paying an extra charge. Each point costs 1 percent of the amount you're borrowing and allows you to lower your interest rate by a certain amount. Most of the very low mortgage rates you see advertised will usually be based on charging for one or two points.
Discount points are considered part of closing costs, since they're charged at the time the mortgage is closed. However, they're different from other mortgage fees because you have the option of whether to buy them or not.
When comparing loan offers, ask lenders to give you a rate quote with zero points -- this will enable you to more easily make "apples to apples" comparisons between the different loan offers. Once you've seen the basic cost of the loan, you can always ask to see how buying points would affect things.
Some fees can be negotiated
Looking at the total of all fees, or closing costs, will let you see immediately how the charges vary from lender to lender. You can see how the fees affect your total cost over the life of the loan by comparing the annual percentage rate (APR) listed for each offer, which is a way of expressing the total cost of the loan in the form of an interest rate.
But you can go beyond that. With many lenders, certain fees will be negotiable, the origination fee in particular. This is the fee the lender charges you for the loan itself and it can be substantial. Loan officers often get a commission based on the fees the lender charges, so they have some room to negotiate in order to get your business. However, if you're dealing with a fixed-fee lender, your loan officer is paid a flat rate and doesn't have that flexibility.
Know what you're paying for
One thing you want to be sure of is to understand what services the fees represent, particularly if a lender is charging more for a certain service than the competition is or charges for things the competition does not. Fees for in-house services like document preparation or "lender inspection" are often "junk fees" that simply add to a lender's profit margin and don't reflect any specific costs the lender incurred in making the loan.
One fee you should not have to pay is an application fee for a lender to provide you with a loan quote. If they want your business, they'll provide you with a quote for no charge. The exceptions to this are if you have poor credit or unusually complex finances that will require more work than usual on the lender's part.
Third-party fees
On the other hand, there are certain third-party fees that are not negotiable or avoidable. These are to cover fees charged by other entities -- such as for transfer taxes, appraisals, recording fees, express delivery of documents and the like.
These should reflect the actual cost of the service or tax charged by the third party, and should be consistent from lender to lender. However, some lenders will pad these charges to add to their own profits, so be wary if a lender is charging more than its competitors for the same third-party service.
Finally, there are some third-party services you can shop for yourself, such as title insurance, title search, the property survey, pest inspection and the settlement agent or attorney (typically from the title company). The lender will often have ongoing relationships with providers of these services in your area and will suggest ones you can use, but that doesn't mean you need to accept their recommendation. Find out what the suggested providers charge and then look up other companies providing those services in your area to see if you might be able to save money using them instead.

A stickup Tuesday night in Franklin County.
Police say a man wearing a hoodie and a bandana over his face pulled a knife on a clerk at Champlain Farms in Enosburgh.
He brought a bag inside the store and made the clerk fill it with money and took off.
If you have any information -- call police.
The same store was hit by a robber on Thanksgiving.

'd be full of it if I pretended to understand all this malware stuff. All I know is Zuko usually takes care of the computers in here for me, and at home it's my husband! However, I have been reading about this one that will hit more than 60,000 computers in teh US on Monday (July 9th.) However it works, it could have been on your system for the past year, and on Monday it will keep you from getting on the internet. Again, don't ask me, I have no idea.
I did find this web page, it's the group the FBI has hired to help out. It explains it all, and gives you steps to check your system and correct any potential problems. Good luck!

Carrabelle, Florida - October 10, 2011 -
As fall settles into the Big Bend, the Florida black bear begins foraging for winter. It’s a perfect time to celebrate the state’s largest land mammal.
Come out for the third annual Forgotten Coast Black Bear Festival, an event dedicated to helping people understand and live in harmony with the Florida black bear.
For more information about the third annual Forgotten Coast Black Bear Festival visit or call the festival coordinator, Allen Loyd at 727-823-3888.
The family-oriented festival is Saturday, Oct. 15, from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. at Sands Park in Carrabelle. The festival is free and a great way for families to spend the day together doing something fun and educational.
The small, Gulf-side community of Carrabelle is in Franklin County, which sits in the heart of Apalachicola National Forest, one of Florida’s biggest undeveloped habitats for black bears.
“Our goal is for festival-goers to learn everything they always wanted to know about the Florida black bear – and more,” said David Telesco, bear management program coordinator for the Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission (FWC). “Helping people understand bear behavior is one of the primary goals for the festival. If people who live in bear country understand what makes bears tick, they will know what they can do to discourage bears from hanging around in their neighborhoods.”
Telesco will offer informative presentations about black bears and their biology. Betsy Knight will tell interesting stories about wildlife rehabilitation, and Laurie McDonald of Defenders of Wildlife will share tips on how to coexist with black bears.
Other activities at the festival include exciting tours into bear habitat with Adam Warwick, an FWC biologist who gained instant fame by rescuing a black bear from drowning in the bay off Alligator Point. Join us in the storytelling tent, where you can sit on hay bales and enjoy stories from local authors or listen to great music by locally renowned southern rock and blues band King Cotton and folk musician Dale Crider.
Bring your kids to the “Come Be a Bear” activity, and watch them transform into a black bear and learn about the life of a bear through the seasons.

Pilot loses consciousness, flight diverted
First officer forced to take over
An Alaska Airlines flight was diverted to Portland, Oregon, after the captain lost consciousness and the first officer was forced to take over, an airline spokesman said.
The incident occurred Thursday night on Flight 473 from Los Angeles to Seattle, airline spokesman Paul McElroy said.
When the captain lost consciousness, the first officer took over and piloted the aircraft to the closest airport, he said.
A doctor on board the airplane treated the pilot until it landed in Portland and medical personnel arrived, he said.
The captain was likely suffering from food poisoning or the flu, Alaska Airlines said Friday. The condition of the captain was not immediately available, but he "is doing better today," airline spokeswoman Bobbie Egan said.
There were 116 passengers and five crew members on board the plane, which landed in Portland without incident, according to the airline..

School security is gaining new attention after a gunman opened fire in a Connecticut elementary school killing 20 children and six adults, and much of the focus is on school resource officers. That's why some Lee County, Virginia parents are asking for change.
Walk the halls of any Lee County, Virginia school and one person you won't find is a school resource officer or SRO.
Before the start of the school year, the Lee County School Board was facing a major financial crisis, and along with closing three small elementary schools, the school board cut the county's only school resource officer, and now some parents want that position back.
"There isn't anyone at the time. If someone walked in they could waylay the area, there's no one to stop them," said Donna Miller, a concerned parent with three children in Lee County schools.
We sat down with Lee County School Board Chair Debbie Jessee. She told us other parents are already asking the board to reconsider SROs, but with the last position costing just under $46,000 a year, it comes down to affordability.
"Right now the projected surplus is only about a little more than $28,000, which is not a whole lot of room to maneuver," Jessee said.
Gaining an SRO could mean losing other programs or positions, but officials at the Lee County Sheriff's Department told us SROs can go a long way when it comes to safety.
"For most people it would be a deterrent knowing there is an armed officer on the scene," said Captain Taylor Scott.
The Lee County School Board would be the ones ultimately making the decision to possibly bring back an SRO, but we learned that could come after many more conversations and meetings.
"[We] also may be looking at other funding sources; if there are any grants out there we could use to maybe hire a school resource officer," said Jessee.
Parents like Miller hope that's the case, because she said lack of money is no excuse when it comes to kids.
"We are in essence putting a price on our children's safety, and we're saying their safety costs just too much for us," said Miller.
We learned the last Lee County school resource officer split his time between the two high schools.
Sheriff’s officials told us Lee County is the only county among surrounding jurisdictions without a school resource officer.
We're also told this issue is likely to come up at the next school board meeting on January 10, though Jessee does stress that schools are still a safe place, even without SROs, and safety is a top priority.

35 homes bought in flood prone areas are going to the highest bidderOxbow, ND (WDAY TV) - If you're looking for a house, even parts of a house, you're in luck. Cass County is looking for the highest bidder on 35 homes bought in flood prone areas, even if all you plan to do is salvage what you want and leave the rest.
35 homes are for the highest bidder, including these houses in Oxbow. They will be auctioned off Thursday at the Holiday Inn starting at 1pm.
Rodney Steffes: Some of the homes are damaged extensively, some of them aren’t. Some of the ones that aren’t damaged are also very big and hard to move.”
And since some are too big to move, like this 28-thousand square foot rambler, the county will allow you to buy a house merely to salvage its parts. It will use that money to offset demolition costs.
The cost to landfill a home isn't cheap. In Moorhead, it's 22-thousand dollars per house. Interest is coming from people all over the region, including many who want one of these as a second home, or lake place.
If you want to move a home, you should contact a mover before you bid to make sure it can be done. Learn more about the homes at.
In Moorhead, there was a change in plans. The City manager says its flood buyout homes can be moved anywhere. At First, the city wanted them kept in city limits to maintain its tax base. Now the city wants them out.
“It's really important we get these homes cleared or demolished or moved, so that we can get access to the properties build our dikes, build our flood walls that we need to build.”
For more information on the Moorhead homes, visit.

Minnesota drug recognition program suspended, investigatedMINNEAPOLIS (AP) — A program designed to train police how to spot if someone is using drugs has been suspended while authorities investigate claims that officers gave people illegal drugs and incentives to participate, the Department of Public Safety said Wednesday.
MINNEAPOLIS (AP) — A program designed to train police how to spot if someone is using drugs has been suspended while authorities investigate claims that officers gave people illegal drugs and incentives to participate, the Department of Public Safety said Wednesday.
DPS Commissioner Mona Dohman said a Hutchinson police officer is accused of giving marijuana to a potential subject and is now under criminal investigation. Dohman said another officer saw the incident and reported it. A separate internal investigation also is under way to determine whether any policies were violated.
"Training law enforcement officers to detect drug impairment helps to keep our roads safe, but we need to ensure that all participants follow guidelines and operate within the law," Dohman said in a statement. She added the training program is suspended pending the investigations and "until we revisit and review the curriculum for the program."
Just days before the incident with the Hutchinson officer was reported, activists and members of Occupy Minnesota posted a video online in which several people said that police had either offered or given them illegal drugs.
The drug evaluation and classification program trains officers on how to detect and remove impaired drivers from the road. It.
A week ago, members of the Occupy Minnesota movement and others claimed police picked them up at various locations and offered them illegal drugs and incentives to participate in the program. The subjects were dropped off at Peavey Plaza, where Occupy protesters have been gathering..
Authorities did not release the name of the officer facing criminal investigation. Hutchinson Police Chief Daniel Hatten had no comment because of the ongoing case, but said the officer is still on the job until the review is completed..

NFL replacement referee controversy upsets local fansFargo, ND (WDAY TV) -- It was enough to make even Viking fans feel sorry for Green Bay. What looked like a Green Bay win over the Seattle Seahawks, was snatched away by another "suspect" call by replacement NFL officials.
Fargo, ND (WDAY TV) -- It was enough to make even Viking fans feel sorry for Green Bay. What looked like a Green Bay win over the Seattle Seahawks, was snatched away by another "suspect" call by replacement NFL officials.
"The games final play, is a Wilson loft to the endzone "
It was a game ending Seattle hail Mary pass that looked to be an interception.
"who has it? Who'd they give it to? Touchdown!!"
Hunstad: "it was a tough night, It was a tough way to end the night"
David Hunstad has the feeling of many Packer Fans
Hunstad: "I was so cranked up I didn't sleep very well"
It's another questionable call be replacement refs in still young NFL season.
To have it be the refs fault of all things and then the booth, you know all of those factors just make it a terrible loss.
Rob Kyeneman: "I was Shocked when I saw the touchdown signal go up from one of the officials."
Rob Kyeneman has been a highs school ref for 22 years and organizes referees in the area and understands how difficult the replacements have it.
Kyeneman: "The problem is they haven't been to that level for that long, it's a different game, for one the speed of the game is astronomically fast which they are probably not used too."
Currently NFL official make about $150,000 a year and for many of them it's just a second part time job. The main labor dispute right now stems over retirement plans, the league would like to change them to more of a 401-K style plan form there current pension plan
Kyeneman: "The best ones in the world are locked out right now and they need to be getting back to work."
And if more controversial calls continue this packer fan may have a growing sentiment.
Hunstad: "I'm trying to organize a little boycott of the NFL until we get the real refs back."
Local high School referees make between 50 and 60 dollars per game, and have to buy there own equipment.

A 22-year-old man was taken to the Maryland Shock Trauma Center in Baltimore in critical condition after he ran out in front of an SUV at the intersection of Hanson Road and Woodbridge Center Way in Edgewood Thursday evening, according to the Harford County Sheriff's Office.
At about 6:39 p.m., Myles Daye Murphy, of the 800 block of West Spring Meadow Court in Edgewood, was hit as he ran into the path of a 2002 Ford Explorer being driven by Donnita Adams, 32, of Edgewood, according to Eddie Hopkins, spokesman for the Sheriff's Office.
Deputies were told Murphy was running from the Woodbridge Valley community toward the Harford Square community when he entered the road in front of the Explorer, the sheriff's office reported. Adams swerved her vehicle trying to miss hitting Murphy, but was unable to avoid hitting him.
Murphy was treated at the scene by members of the Joppa Magnolia Volunteer Fire Company and then flown to the shock trauma by Maryland State Police Medevac, the Sheriff's Office reported.
Murphy was listed in critical condition at shock trauma Tuesday afternoon.
Deputies preliminarily ruled the accident was caused by pedestrian error. No charges have been filed against the driver, according to the Sheriff's Office.

EAU CLAIRE, Wis. –The clock is ticking for Governor Scott Walker to make a decision on a highly controversial piece of legislation, The Affordable Care Act, better known as Obamacare.
States must notify the federal government by Friday, on whether they plan to run their own health insurance exchange programs or to work with the feds.
Although some deadlines have been pushed back by President Obama, the heat is still on the Badger State.
Reports show that 18 states plus Washington, D.C. have decided to go it alone or work with the feds, while 23 states are currently exploring options.
Wisconsin and eight other states have had no formal activity with health care reform.
It's believed republican governors in these states were waiting until after the election to make a decision.
But they now face a harsh deadline.
Exchange programs are the life blood of the Affordable Care Act.
People or businesses without coverage will be able to go onto a website and easily shop for insurance.
Wisconsin, along with a slew of other states, must decide by Friday if they're going to create their own exchange program or work with the federal government.
“We are just waiting to see what the Governor’s approach is going to be. I know he delayed the decision until after the election,” said State Senator Terry Moulton, a republican from Chippewa Falls.
With President Barack Obama winning re-election, many republicans are realizing Obamacare is the law of the land and are now scrambling to make a decision.
State Senator Jennifer Shilling said it’s time for the state to move forward on this.
“We are just coming off a pretty contested election here in this state and voters have said we want to see bipartisanship, we want to see cooperation,” said Shilling, a democratic senator from La Crosse.
Senator Shilling said she’d like to see a health exchange that’s in our own control.
“We have a strong marketplace in this state and I think we need to look at something that is kind of homegrown and made in Wisconsin,” Shilling said.
Senator Terry Moulton said for better or worse, health care reform is something republicans have to deal with.
“Elections matter. Now we’re faced with possibly a huge bureaucracy that may or may not be good for our constituents,” Moulton said.
Once a plan is chosen by Walker, it must be approved by the State Assembly and Senate.
WEAU 13 News contacted Governor Walker's office on Monday.
It sent a statement, saying:
“Governor Walker will be meeting with key members of his administration over the next several days to decide the next steps regarding health insurance exchanges."
The statement went on to say that the deadline is Friday but didn't give a day when a decision would be made.
After the Friday Nov. 16 deadline, states have until Dec. 14 to submit plans for state-based exchanges.
Those that want to partner with the federal government have until Feb. 15.

There has been so much Koha News today!! It’s like everyone held on to everything until today.
First I got an email from Kyle Hall announcing the release of his newly upgraded Koha Offline Circulation Tool. Next was the release by my two favorite Koha companies (yes I’m biased) – ByWater & BibLibre have entered into a contract to bring BibLibre development skills (some of the most experienced in the Koha community) to the US and to ByWater customers. Then there was the announcement of the PTFS acquisition of LibLime an announcement that has prompted responses from librarians all over. Mostly hopeful like those from ByWater and Chris Cormack and a few tweets:
- librareanne: PTFS to Acquire LibLime #koha (I hope this means better customer service for LibLime clients!!)
- jransom: @ranginui PTFS would win much kudos if they announced they were returning them to the community at their press conference on the 16th #koha
- oleonard: PTFS to Acquire LibLime I hope this means LEK will come back into the fold. #koha
Finally was the announcement that the release manager for Koha 3.4 has been voted in and it’s none other than the original Koha release manager – Chris Cormack!
In short a big (and finally good) news day for Koha!
It definitely was a GREAT day for Koha!

Zeien Lecture Series: Dr. Stephen M. Payne
Webb Institute – Henry Auditorium
Thursday, October 27, 2011
7:30 PM
Stephen M. Payne’s achievements and impact on the marine industry are far reaching, potent examples of his commitment towards ensuring that our industry stays strong today and well into the future. While his numerous engineering achievements are world famous, most notably the design and project management of the construction of the Queen Mary 2, his devotion to the future of our industry is legendary. He has been a pioneer in professional affiliations, providing the personal commitment, persistence, and perseverance necessary to sustain our marine profession.
Mr. Payne began his involvement with Carnival Corporation in January 1985 and quickly rose through the ranks. In 1997, he was Project Manager for the design and construction of Holland America Line’s new flagship Rotterdam (VI) and subsequently held more challenging positions. In 2004, he was named Vice President and Chief Naval Architect of Carnival Corporate Shipbuilding, a position he held until leaving earlier this year. Subsequent to that Mr. Payne formed the consultancy, PFJ-Maritime Consulting Ltd where he and other maritime industry experts consult to the various shipping companies.
Mr. Payne’s dedication goes well beyond the work of more typical marine industry professionals. His work with the youth and his influence in leading them towards a career in engineering truly is unparalleled. He continues to be a leader in building the effective recruitment and development of future engineers through the organization he co-founded, Future Engineers. Future Engineers is an international organization aimed at high school students to provide a positive image of engineering, engaging them in hands-on activities which will inspire them into choosing a career in one of the many engineering disciplines. It is anticipated that by 2012, 10,000 worldwide students will have attended their events.
Mr. Payne, a 1984 graduate BSc. (Hons) Ship Science from the University of Southampton has been recognized by his peers for his countless achievements. They include: being awarded the OBE (Office of the Most Excellent Order of the British Empire) received from Her Majesty the Queen, 2004; receiving an Honorary Doctorate of Science by the University of Southampton in 2007; serving as President of the Royal Institution of Naval Architects (RINA) from July 2007 until July 2010; being named a Fellow of the Royal Academy of Engineering; and receiving the Royal Academy of Engineering Special Achievement Award. Most recently, Stephen was elected a Member of the Board of Trustees of Webb Institute.

How to track session of visitors (time of visits at particular page) and show ads if visitor clicks on defined link at URL and/or session comes within particular time?
Is there some the best professional PHP script to manage this with support of PHP and database?
Google Analytics or if you prefer PHP use Piwik which is the PHP open source version of Google's very cool product.
No, sorry this is not what I need.
Issue is how to smart detect session of visitor and even click of particulat link Call to action. So, tracking software is not what I need.
Um, you didn't want tracking software yet you asked "How to track..." ?? Gee, sorry for barking up the wrong tree there!
Okay, your new explanation sounds a little better, although it's kind of vague when you made up this cool terminology, "smart detect".
Sounds to me like you want to store session times (you used plural so that means you want a history of visits) per page as well as clickthru's and use that information to dynamically display adware links to the user based somehow. Meaning you'd need to implement PHP session support, database support and code to do the analysis in real time.
Please note for the record that all major analytics including Google, piWik and Webtrends to name just 3 all allow you to set goals based on triggers by embedding simply code into the body tag of a page. The software already tracks session time and clickthru's, and you would define goals based on session times and/or URL's for that client and create goals which means do something (like output an adware popup or redirect or link to an adware site).
PiWik *is* the "professional PHP script" you asked for, if I follow your request now that you've restated it. If I still am off target, it aint for a lack of trying on my part! All I can do is apologize if I am missing something obvious here.

None of them do that. That is the main reason for the site I'm building. What I'm doing here doesn't exist for the consumer who can fix their own furnace. Finding out which part you need for your furnace is what keeps most homeowners calling in the pros.
I imagine that some people will use my site as a reference and maybe even buy elsewhere. And that's ok too, we want to be the "Nice Guys" in the business.
Aha, I stand corrected! With something like thousands of records, there is no doubt.
Get your feet wet with a LAMP-stack then, maybe?
It looks as though I will have to grit my teeth and learn something new. Any suggestions as to which language I start with?
I figure since knowledge is power, I can only end up a better person after it's all over.
I am intrigued by the power and variety of usage of PHP, I'm leaning toward learning that first. At least I think so anyways. LOL
The "LAMP-stack" I mentioned is a shorthand name for Linux Apache MySql and PHP.
PHP would be the server-side scripting-language, MySql is a database for storing data, Apache is the websever and Linux would be the operating system.
First, let me ask you how your webpage is hosted today? Is it hosted by you, or externally? If it's external, it might be on a hosting solution based either on IIS (Windows) or Apache (Usually some kind of Linux).
You might be hosting it from your windows workstation for all I know...
Regardless though, PHP is probably not the worst place to start. There are tons of tutorials to get you started with PHP & MySql, and this is not wasted knowledge regardless of your hosting-solution.

I am trying to discern what is the most common practice for templating the layout of a site. I have a folder within my root which contains a number of includes which makeup the theme for a page. I want to use this theme on every page on my site including all nested folders no matter how deep the depth of the folders (2 levels deep, 3, 4 , 5, 6, etc).
Is the best practice to?
1) Generate separate pages for each nested folder such that each page includes the file using relative paths (../ or ../../ or ../../../)?
2) Use symbolic links pointing to the includes folder at the root within each nested directory?
I'm curious also how #2 may impact git by performing a commit on files that are symbolic links?

I CANNOT manage to get the facebook like button to take a picture with when the page is liked -- it's just a blank where the image should be. I've tried all the variations of the image URL, with & without the www, with & without the .htm of the daughter page, even the image name by itself just for incase. Each of the different possibilities I've tried for a different page to avoid fb simply reading the cached page. When I let fb debugger scrape the pages, it doesn't find anything wrong with the image URLs, except for the one where I only used the image name, as expected. It's very simple pages, no fancy coding, just HTML & inline CSS. The meta tag for the fb image looks like this:
{
<meta property="og:image" content="" />
}
The code for the image on the page itself looks like this:
{<div style="text-align:center"><img src="kites.jpg" style="width:148px; height:148px; border-style:none" border="0" alt=""></div><p>}
The doctype looks like this [I'm grasping at straws here, I'm willing to try anything]:
{<!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01 Transitional//EN"
"">}
I'm suspectig I'm being real retarded here, but I can't see it -- Can anyone tell me what the problem is?!
I think you need to check the Open Graph Protocol in the Facebook. Just checkout the below link:
It include all information about your problem...
Been there -- the Open Graph Protocol seems fine & when fb's debugger scrapes it, the only error it finds is the og:type because the page doesn't fit into any of the types on their list & they say when this is the case you must simply insert your own.
The meta tags look like this:
{<meta property="og:title" content="PSSST! odd bits to read for the person with the longer attention span" />
<meta property="og:type" content="other" />
<meta property="og:url" content="" />
<meta property="og:image" content="" />
<meta property="og:site_name" content="pssst" />
<meta property="fb:app_id" content="252168354905425" />}

So far I am a video game developer, a high school track coach, somebody who deserves a fair trial, a restaurant owner in Boston, and assistant box office manager for the Carolina Hurricanes and that is just on the first couple pages. Nothing that relates to me though.

Oh my. How many would want to be able to do that. In reality, if you didn't diversify your source of income until now, you can't just say ignore.
For new adventures, while targeting google traffic, get a different user account for each niche.

Indeed. I've had an excellent experience with adsense too. Google might be a massive company today rather than the little server farm they started out on, but their employees still know how to provide the user with an trustworthy and reliable experience.

Brain & Nervous System Health Center
The Continuum of Rehabilitation for Persons with Traumatic Brain Injury
Lifetime of Care: Long-term Care
Unfortunately, some individuals with TBI are medically stable but no longer making significant progress functionally after an extended period of time and do not meet requirements for ongoing inpatient rehabilitation even though they remain at a low level of function overall. Although many families are able to address significant functional needs at home, the burden of care can be overwhelming both in terms of time and money. As a result, some of these individuals with extended needs post-TBI require long term care in a skilled nursing setting where they will continue to receive nursing and medical care (usually with less intensive medical supervision) but no longer continue on an active rehabilitation program. The burden on the caregivers for those persons with significant long-term needs who return home should not be underestimated as it can be a 24 hour per day occupation physically, mentally, and emotionally. For this reason, some individuals with TBI ultimately require long-term placement or services even after initially returning home with family support.
Other persons with TBI may require long term supports in the context of living in the community. Levels of support may range from 24-hour supervision to a few hours per week to assist with a challenging activity such as shopping, checking a pill planner or banking. Again, supporting the unique needs of the individual with TBI is the key to optimizing quality of life and success.
Also contributing to this article: Tina M. Trudel, PhD, Marcia J. Scherer, PhD, MPH, FACRM, and Raphael Gaeta, MSW
About the authors: This series is being published by the Traumatic Brain Injury—Resource Optimization Center (TBI-ROC) and its Advisory Group, which is facilitated by JBS International, Inc. The TBI-ROC aims to be a recognized source and leader for advancing national attention to the myriad of policy, research, practice, and service needs supporting both civilian and military individuals who incur TBI and their families.

Mandatory Access Control
In computer security Mandatory Access Control (MAC) is a type of access control in which only the administrator manages the access controls. The administrator defines the usage and access policy, which cannot be modified or changed by users, and the policy will indicate who has access to which programs and files. MAC is most often used in systems where priority is placed on confidentiality.
Contrast with Discretionary Access Control (DAC) which is determined by the user with. »

Locale-sensitive methods in JavaScript, such as those that perform formatting of numbers and date/time values, do so based on the default locale of the browser. This value may not necessarily match the locale of the user's PC because the browser locale is part-and-parcel of the browser build version.
In some cases, the reliance on the browser's default locale may not be the most favorable option. In fact, the Web 2.0 style does not support this paradigm at all. Instead, most International websites offer visitors the option of selecting their preferred language and/or country so that their experience can be tailored to their particular tastes.
In this follow up to the JavaScript's Lack of i18n Support and What It Means for You article, I explore one solution for implementing multilingual support to your Web pages and client-side scripts using Java Servlets and JSPs. Later, I'll explore some existing frameworks that might also fit the bill.
Controlling the Presentation Locales
Corporations know how to maximize user satisfaction, and by extension, sales. They spend a lot of money on the compiling and dissection of Web statistics in order to make the user's experience the best it can be and most conducive to a purchase of their products. From Coca-Cola to McDonalds to Nike, modern companies are a global affair. As such, they want visitors from all parts of the world to feel equally welcome on their sites. Case in point, the Jaguar company has sites for most major countries, accessible via links on their home page:
Figure 1. Jaguar International Homepage
Clicking on the Germany link brings up the German site, which conforms to the
"de_DE" locale:
Figure 2. Jaguar German Homepage
(BTW, I will happily accept donations for that car.)
The Jaguar pages are built using Flash in order to provide very dynamic graphics and other multimedia content. Other sites, such as Expedia, !Yahoo Finance and Google Maps, provide highly interactive content using more "traditional" Web technologies.
Fetching Labels at Runtime
In the previous article, I explained how to insert multilingual content in to JavaScript literals using server-side technologies. That technique took advantage of the fact that server-side code gets executed before sending the page to the browser. This allows you to utilize the i18n capabilities of the server-side programming language to fetch the values based on either the browser's default locale or one the user chooses.
The drawback to this approach was that you could not change the values after the page had loaded. A more flexible way to fetch labels is to use Ajax with Dynamic HTML on the client side. Using this combination, you can update any part of the page without reloading everything.
The i18nSupportTestPage.jsp Source
The following page presents a welcome message to the visitor. It is contained in an
<H1> tag with an
ID of "
welcome". Rather than provide the text using server-side
<%=variable%> tags as I did in the previous article, I use some unobtrusive JavaScript and Ajax to accomplish the same thing on this page. In fact, the JavaScript is so unobtrusive that there is no indication in the HTML source that the value of the heading is multilingual! The only hint to the presence of dynamic content on the page is the references to two JavaScript files. The
Protoype.js script, although optional, is highly recommended for making Ajax calls easier. I simplified things even further by writing my own
AjaxCall() method in my
i18n_support.js script:
The i18n_support.js Script
All of the client-side i18n functionality resides in this script. It makes use of several Prototype features, such as
Event.observe(),
Element.observe(), and of course, the
Ajax.Request object. The
Event.observe() handler acts as a sink to the window
onload event in order to initialize other handlers and retrieve the initial value of the welcome message. My
AjaxCall() method adds some additional checks and error handling. Once the framework is in place, a label can be set with only one or two lines of code (see lines 4 and 5 below):

The History
The information on the history is collected from many sources – most from the www. Even though I did some research I may be wrong on some points. I took the specs 1958-1987 from the Vintage Guitars Info site and added some info. I found the general information on Mel Waldorf’s Jaguar & Jazzmaster pages. If you have additional info or if you see something totally wrong, please contact me.
Jazzmaster – for Jazzmasters? and a aluminium covered pickguard because the wide singlecoils…
More info on the changes on Jazzmaster models throughout the 60′s in this great article by Greg Gagliano.

Learning about the different local small business needs can help you to find out what is needed in order to have that small business built up successfully. There are definitely many things that you need to consider in order for your local small business to be a success. The truth is that you may not know about what is needed on your part, and simply learning about everything can help you get on the right track.
What are the main needs of a local small business?
- Project Study
Above everything else, make sure that you have good project study on what you are planning to do. If you have no idea how much the investment is going to be or if you will need to have a lot of employees, then you may end up shocked at the investment needed later on. The project study is the beginning of everything, and it is where you find out if your business idea is going to be a smart idea or not.
- Start Up Costs
Coming up with the start up costs is the very first step to seeing and noticing success. I highly recommend that you consider the different start up costs involved, like the reserving of the space, the employees, stocks of the products you plan to sell, and nearly everything that you may need. The investment is the hardest part, but if you do everything correctly, including the project study, then there is going to be a lot of success in the future, provided that you advertise your site the right way later on.
- Advertisement
Once you get everything built up, the next thing that you need to know to make the investment worth it is to advertise your business correctly and efficiently. The advertisement aspect needs to be done as best as you can. To get yourself on the right path, you need a good set of flyers, business cards, and a lot of offline promotion to get your local business going. Spread the word with many flyers being passed out on the sidewalks and the busy streets near your road.
Don’t forget how important it is to have an online presence. Creating a website that talks about your business is a smart thing to invest in. Being able to market your business online is a great idea because there are so many people who may be in need of what you have to offer. There are also millions of people on these websites, so you can be sure to succeed.
Having a local small business could be a great way to make you big money; however, without doing correct project study, investing the right amount of money, and then advertising it well, you may end up with plenty of problems later on. You can easily achieve success in the future as long as you do everything as correctly as you can. Just remember that all businesses had to go through the exact strategy above, so don’t feel tired about doing all of that to make your business a success.

A Guide to Getting Started in Karting
Please sign the guestbook
If any club, business or organisation can make use of this information that I offer freely, they are most welcome, all I ask is that for all the time it has taken me and cost,
I get a credit mention.
I have deliberately not run photos here to speed up down load.See links below for photos, reports, calendar and heaps more.
Thanks, Ray Tombs
(The following is quite extensive and runs on to part 2 on the links.
Pour yourself a beer and click off after loading.)
GETTING STARTED
KARTING is a wonderful, competitive and exhilarating motor sport that can be enjoyed by the whole family for a modest outlay.
Let's get this straight right now. You don't have to own a kart to enjoy karting.
There are a lot of different hats to be worn in the karting fraternity to run a race meeting.
If you don't want to race, there is flag marshalling or a host of other roles to be filled at the track.
If you do want a kart, there's no need to pay the earth for one, karts can be picked up second hand from around $800.00. You can go up from there.
Let's get you started. I'll take you through step by step in the simplest way I can. I am by no means an expert on the subject, there are people in our Rotorua club and in your area, far more qualified than me, but I just love and want to promote the sport, so here’s my dollars worth.
This text covers a small part of what I have learned from experience and from other helpful members of the large karting family around the Bay of Plenty.
I truly hope you enjoy and learn from my experiences and that you may thrill to the awesome sensation of adrenalin rush as you sit in the dummy grid ready for your first race, the mind blowing sensation of high speed with your bottom twenty millimetres off the track and the wonderful comradeship found in karting.
GETTING A KART
Like all motor racing, kart racing has very stringent regulations and is governed by a body called the NEW ZEALAND KARTING FEDERATION.
The Federation Executive sits once a year with representatives of all the clubs in New Zealand at what is known as ‘The Conference of Clubs’ and the rules and regulations are set out and fine tuned to the majorities satisfaction.
In real terms it is the clubs of New Zealand that set out the rules and then the Federation and its officers apply them by way of a National rule book and each club’s officials. The rule book is updated every 12 months.
It is also our race licence. So if you hold a licence you have no excuse that you don’t know the rules, good idea.
So the soap box kart that Grandad knocked up for you with the cousin Harry's motor bike engine and no brakes is strictly out if you want to compete. Don't rush out and buy the first Heath/Robinson kart you see just because it looks good or is a cheapie, or you may well end up with a lemon.
If you haven't been kart racing before, I would strongly recommend that you start with a second hand kart unless money isn’t an issue. (I should be so lucky!)
At least get out on the track and start off as a KT-100cc driver, once you get to grips with racing you can always get a new one or have a go at a 125cc or 250cc gearbox.
I hasten to say that the KT-100cc kart is the most popular, it is very reliable and fast and you will get all the competition you can handle from one of these lightweight machines.
Now, let's run through a few classes.
At seven years old a child can race a CADET kart up until aged twelve.
This class used to be popular and well subscribed.
Drivers race the small kart powered by a Raket 85 kart engine, very quick and professional looking. At a recent race meet at Hamilton there were 24 of these little critturs racing together, the maximum permitted in a race, it was really good to watch.
They are also much quieter than the noisy Ironhorse Midget that was.
Age ten and under fourteen is called JUNIOR RESTRICTED. It is the full sized kart with extended foot pedals if needed and regulation restricted rookie muffler. The restricted muffler is fitted to reduce the herbs on this fierce little monster. Also the barrel is raised with thicker gaskets for the same reason. The plan is to get the kids into the full size karts without too much speed, though they certainly go fast enough.
After you have been in that for a time and showing promise as a good driver, the Senior Steward will upgrade you into JUNIOR class, age permitting. The criteria there is from twelve and under sixteen.
When you are seventeen years or over, you are into the SENIOR class.
Depending on your age, you will therefore need a kart to suit your class.
There are bigger machines for those who want to go faster, again depending on your age.
Once a SENIOR, over seventeen years, you can race the gearbox machines and/or Open class.
There are a few different classes to look at here.
The KT-100cc is piston port, then we have 100cc rotary or reed valve (no gearbox), 100cc gearbox, 125cc gearbox, 250cc gearbox, SUPER KARTS.
The 100cc powered kart is usually the same chassis/frame as the KT-100cc.
You can run the same type of frame but with twin engines, one on each side.
With the rest, the frames vary considerably, the engines and gear boxes are usually taken from motorcycles.
From CADET right through to the SENIOR YAMAHA KT classes, it is strictly PUMP petrol only!
Well, what a selection you have to choose from. As the YAMAHA KT-100 is the most popular and simple, I will concentrate on this engine class. It is divided into classes,JUNIOR RESTRICTED, JUNIOR, CLUB class, HEAVIES and LIGHTS.
Some of the recognised brands to look for are;
KIWI KART. RIMMER. ARROW. CRG. OMEGA
The engine you are looking for is a specially designed kart racing engine called a YAMAHA KT-100.
If you get your hands on that combination, you're on the right track.
As I said earlier, there are 'getting started' karts from around $800.00. For various reasons, people come and go in the kart circles.
If you are lucky enough to strike someone that just wants to get some cash in a hurry and is giving karting away, you may score a full set up. That is you might get all the spares, race suit, helmet, gloves, neck brace, wheels, tyres, oil, kart stand, trolley etc.
Not for $800.00 I wouldn't think, but if you have the cash you can flash it about and tempt the vendor to take a few pingers less.
THINGS TO BE WARY OF WHEN BUYING A USED KART.
Thoroughly check all welding on the frame to ensure there are no cracks beside or coming through the weld.
Is there insulation or duck tape wrapped around the frame? If so, ask why it's there and can you remove it for a look, it may be hiding a crack.
If the frame has obviously had extensive welding repair work done to it, leave it unless the motor and goodies that went with it were at a good price. You can always get one good kart together out of a collection of various ones, so shop around.
Once a frame starts cracking, it really means that metal fatigue has set in, time for the dump.
If you are offered a helmet, look inside the lining for a STANDARD mark. It will have a label that says NZS 1884 or higher or it may read SNELL FOUNDATION, which is international standard. If not, or if it has signs of any damage or re-paint jobs, forget it.
It's going to be your head inside it when/if you hit the road, you want your helmet to protect you, it's the only head you have. The helmet is with-out doubt the most vital part of your required safety equipment.
Let's assume that every thing is good so far, get some-one to sit in the kart, on a flat concrete surface.
Gently lift the left front wheel off the deck a wee way, then do the same with the right wheel to the same height.
Try that several times, if one wheel feels lighter than the other, it will probably mean that the chassis is twisted. It's not a big deal and can be straightened with-out too much drama. But that's one demerit point towards the vendor, he might drop the price a bit!
All kart tyres have small indicator holes in the part that runs on the track, they are in pairs, one on the inside, one on the outside, four pairs on a tyre.
The deeper the hole the less wear the tyre has. No hole or very little means you're in for new rubber.
You are looking at around $220.00 for a set. Believe me, you want all the grip you can get out there on the track if you want to corner fast and safely.
Place a block of wood under the rear of the kart frame, remove the spark plug on top of the head, plug it in and earth it. This is done because on the KT YAMAHA engine, if you turn the engine over without the spark plug connected or earthed you may burn out the transistorised ignition unit. $35.00 for a new one.
Once you've done that, rotate the rear wheels in a forward direction and have a good look.
Do one or both wheels go up and down? If yes, either the axle is bent or the rim's damaged.
If it's the axle, it will need to be removed to straighten properly, or replaced with a new one.
Is the brake disc on the left side of the axle running true? If no, either the disc is bent or the housing it's mounted on... or both. Again, they can usually be straightened depending on how bad they are.
On the right side of the axle is the drive sprocket and carrier, the same trick and answer applies.
Of course all these things may be going up and down because of a bent axle only, so pay close attention to what's happening.
Hey by the time you and I have finished crucifying the vendor, he'll probably give the kart to you.
I have really only touched on the very basics of what to look for, so you won't end up with a pup!
You are the purchaser and as I said earlier, you can start off at $800.00. But... you can comfortably fork out three or four times that amount, on a used machine and equipment and still be doing okay.
Let's do a bit of homework.
To buy a brand new KT-100 kart, complete with all the bells and whistles and ready to race, you are looking at a ball park figure of $4000.00. give or take a hundred.
A bottom line crash helmet that complies with N.Z.K.F. regulations is $150.00. Expect to pay anything up to $1400.00 for a really top notch one.
A compulsory regulation race suit, $220.00.
Safe foot wear or proper karting boots. $120.00.
Gloves. $60.00.
Equipment that is not regulation, but that I very strongly recommend.
A neck brace. $35.00.
Skate board elbow pads. $18.00.
Motor-X or skate boarders shin/knee pads. $25.00.
A kidney belt. $40.00.
For those of you who may be Macho or feel embarrassed by such attire, it can be worn under the race suit and not seen.
You may never need any of it, but won't you be pleased you're wearing it if you do!
Now don't start thinking "What is this, stock cars!" No way, karting is a NONE CONTACT sport. How-ever things happen from time to time and drivers sometimes bang into others.
Best to be fully equipped and drive to the best of your ability, safely, the time will come when you will be skilled at over taking manoeuvres and winning, all in good time.
So what are we looking at to get set up in all new gear? Well you've given five grand one hell of a shock!
The second hand gear is looking better by the minute, eh? While this may all sound expensive, it's still the cheapest form of motor racing.
Now you know what costs what, get out there and buy it!
So, here's this beautiful kart and all the spare bits sitting at home, what do you do now? Go for a blatt down the street and impress the neighbours? NO! NO! NO!
We in the karting fraternity want to keep our sport on the track and not annoy the public in general with the noise these wee monsters emit.
It gives karters and our sport a bad name to be a hooligan, so..... please curb the desire, unless you live out in the sticks.
If you get caught, it is a traffic violation!
Make enquires and join your local kart club, give me a call and you'll be our latest member before you know what hit you.
Our club races on a regular basis through the year and we also have the odd "Get to know each other" social.
As at 1998, we are not fortunate to have our own track yet, though we are working on it.
How-ever, we run our race meetings at a variety of different race circuits within fifty minutes travelling of Rotorua.
There are quite a few kart clubs in the B.O.P area.
The Bay of Plenty Club have their own fully self contained raceway at
Fagan's s Valley, Alleys Rd, TePuke. Set in beautiful native bush, the sprint track is sealed and fast. A good sized pit area for the karters to set up and work on their machines.
The BOP club has a fantastic clubhouse complete with cafeteria, showers, toilets, bar and children's play ground. You don't have to be a member of their club to race at their meetings, just pay the race day fee.
The Tokoroa Kart Club also has a lovely circuit, recently re-sealed, it is fast and soon sorts out the men from the boys. The club has their own clubhouse on site and the atmosphere and comradeship is just great.
The track is situated at Amisfield, just off State H/W 1, right by the Tokoroa air strip.
Taupo Kart Club utilise the Taupo Car Club circuit, which is at the top end of Centennial Drive that meets up with the Broadland Road. This track is the best of both worlds for the karters, as it not only is a full sized road race circuit, but also sports a cross over track which can be used for sprints.
The Taupo Kart Club have their clubhouse at the far end of the raceway and is well set up for refreshments and a clean up after racing.
The Eastern Bay of Plenty Kart Club have their track at Edgecumbe, it was initially compacted dirt but is now all concrete and there is talk that they are looking at sealing it in the near future. A good little circuit.

Earlier this week, a listing entitled "Parking Spaces at Democracy Blvd." appeared on the Federal Business Opportunities website.. The facilities are located at One Democracy Plaza and Two Democracy Plaza in Bethesda, pictured here:
The cost of $93 per space per month is at the high end of the comparisons provided in the market research section of the justification document for the contract, but since the parking lots are on the property where the NIH offices are located, HHS had little choice. The leases are a continuation of leases acquired by the government's General Services Administration.

".
The whole speech is, needless to say, worth reading—and worth rereading. But for our purposes, consider one aspect of the 28-year-old Lincoln’s treatment of the question of “the perpetuation of our political institutions.” Why, he asked, “suppose danger to our political institutions? Have we not preserved them for more than fifty years? And why may we not for fifty times as long?”
One reason, Lincoln explains, is that “the scenes of the revolution . . ..”
Lincoln suggests that, even for the generation after the Founders, these scenes were a kind of “living history.” But for Lincoln’s generation, “those histories are gone.” And “unless we, their descendants, supply their places with other pillars, hewn from the solid quarry of sober reason,” we will lack “the materials for our future support and defense.”
The materials for the future support and defense of conservatism will have to be forged by a generation that remembers not the Founders. In a way, this can be an advantage. Young men and women today, interested in the perpetuation of our political and civic liberty, will understand they can’t coast on the Founders’ efforts. They’ll also be less intimidated by the Founders’ example. They will be open to fresh thinking “hewn from the solid quarry of sober reason.” Such fresh thinking has never been more necessary.
But as they think anew, they’ll also look back to Bob Bork and his compatriots. Their work is the point of departure, a source of invaluable lessons, both substantive and strategic. Yet the generation that now ascends to center stage shouldn’t be intimidated by their daunting example.
The best revenge for Edward Kennedy’s slander about “Robert Bork’s America” would be to help advance the cause of what is truly Bob Bork’s America—a nation of constitutional liberty and self-government. Bob Bork would have enjoyed the well-deserved encomiums he is receiving. He’d be even more pleased by the young men and women coming forth to say how inspired they have been by his example.

UPDATE: FIRE crews and resort staff have used snow machines to fight three spot blazes at Victoria's Mount Hotham.
At 8.22pm tonight the CFA issued an emergency update to alert people to a fast moving fire in the Mt Hotham, Hotham Heights and Dinner Plain areas.
The fire is about 5000ha in size, out-of-control and creating spot fires about half a kilometre ahead as the fire moves in a south easterly direction.
"Relocation is not advisable," the statement reads.
Dinner Plain resident Shelley Holah said almost the entire ski village evacuated about 5pm this afternoon after the fire approached the town at a frightening pace.
"This afternoon the fire came out of nowhere and we where quite vulnerable…as was Hotham,” Ms Holah said.
"The serious advice (from the CFA) was to evacuate so we did … 95 percent of the (residents) have left and the rest are assisting with fires."
Ms Holah runs an accommodation booking service in the tourist village which is about 10km from Hotham Heights.
"It’s a pretty dangerous situation…you feel pretty helpless when you have to leave it, it’s been my life up there for a long time,” she said.
Ms Holah said it was different to the 2003 fires as they had very little notice and no strike teams in Dinner Plain when the fire flared up.
According to a spokeswoman from the state control centre about 100 firefighters were at the blaze and another 100 from four strike teams were heading to the fire tonight.
There were reports of CFA crews from Paynesville and Bairnsdale heading to the high country to assist with efforts.
Omeo’s Golden Age Hotel publican Terry Watt said he had quite a few evacuated people staying at his hotel and they had reported the fire spotting over the King Spur in the Dargo River area.
Earlier today Mt Hotham ski resort, management board chief executive Jim Atteridge said he didn't think there was an immediate risk to life.
Embers from the Harrietville fire sparked one spot fire in the village below the Hotham police station and two fires on the ski fields, he said.
Mr Atteridge said the ski resort's equipment was being used to drench buildings in the village and about nine response crew monitoring the situation for the incident response centre.
"The one in the village is below the police station and is in a position where we can defend it as it comes into the village," Mr Atteridge told AAP of the spot fires.
Mr Atteridge estimated there were 40 or 50 people in the village, including a full complement of resort administration staff.
He said many tradies working in the area had already fled.
"A significant increase in activity out on the Harrietville fire caused ember attack in the Hotham village area and obviously intense smoke," he said.
"Those who are in the village and don't have accommodation we will accommodate."
As Hotham response teams fought the fires, Melbourne was being lashed by its first significant rainstorm in weeks.

ENVIRONMENT Minister Tony Burke has dismissed a Greens attack on the government's green credentials as a political manoeuvre.Yesterday, Australian Greens leader Christine Milne accused the Gillard Government of walking away from an agreement it forged with the minor party after the 2010 election when there was a hung parliament.
She was particularly scathing of Labor's relationship with the mining industry and Mr Burke's decisions to grant mining approvals for the Tarkine in Tasmania and approve more coal seam gas mining.
Mr Burke said there had never been a time in Australia's history when so much land had become conservation areas.
He described Senator Milne's comments as a "political manoeuvre" that Greens supporters will be shaking their heads over.
"They want to be able to complain that nothing's good enough," Mr Burke told ABC Television.
Mr Burke said under his watch, Australia had become a world leader in ocean protection with the biggest network of marine parks, the Murray Darling dispute was resolved and the forestry war in Tasmania had ended.
"You won't find a term of government where you've had those sorts of environmental outcomes in one term," he said.
Mr Burke said it had been a long time since the Greens were an environment party.
He said Greens MP Adam Bandt had only asked him one question about the environment in the two years he'd sat in the lower house.
Mr Burke said Senator Milne's attack crystallised the two parties' approaches to the environment.
"When I look at an environmental decision, I look at whether it is good or bad depending on what you're protecting," he said.
"For the Greens they seem to look at whether it's good or bad depending on how many jobs you are destroying."
He dismissed the Greens' claims that Labor was too cosy with the mining industry and said tough conditions were imposed on approvals.
The Greens only want to talk about the Tarkine, Mr Burke said.
"They don't want to talk about the Tasmanian forestry agreement which is half a million hectares including the most precious parts of the Tarkine," he said.
"They just want to focus on knocking over jobs."

Divisions Seen In Administration Over Cyberthreats.
"My father was in a war, my son has been in a war, I've been in a war, and this is not what we're going through right now," Schmidt said in an interview with NPR. "There are a whole lot of ramifications about using that term in any context, and even more in using the term 'cyberwar.'"
Schmidt argues that the cyberattacks being carried out currently against U.S. government and private computer networks fall under the categories of cybercrime, espionage and the theft of intellectual property.
"To label every cyber-intrusion, every theft of intellectual property, as cyberwar is just a total mischaracterization of what's going on in the world today," he said.
At the Pentagon, however, officials take a darker view. During a presentation in February at a conference organized by the cybersecurity company RSA, Deputy Defense Secretary William Lynn said there is reason to worry about cyber-weapons being used to cause actual physical damage.
"This development, which marks a strategic shift in the cyberthreat, is only just emerging," Lynn said.
Is It Cyberwar?
The Pentagon analysis contrasts sharply with that of Schmidt, who sees little that's fundamentally new in the recent spate of cyberattacks at RSA, Lockheed Martin and Google. Those intrusions, Schmidt argued, followed "a very standard method of operation that people have used for 20-odd years."
The procedure, he said, generally involves hackers gaining a foothold within a network by stealing someone's password, and then moving up to increasingly higher levels of supervisory control within the computer system. What has distinguished recent attacks, he said, is the way hackers have targeted particular individuals and companies rather than their general approach.
Schmidt was also cybersecurity adviser to President George W. Bush, and he has served as chief security officer at Microsoft and eBay, in addition to working 30 years as a computer crime and forensics expert for the FBI and the U.S. Air Force.
Schmidt's views on the nature of the cyberthreat, however, have put him at odds with some at the Pentagon. One senior military officer who deals exclusively with cyber issues says Schmidt is seen at the Pentagon as "understating" the threat of cyberwar.
"There's been some pushback against his views," the official said.
At the RSA cybersecurity conference in February, Lynn emphasized the need to prepare for the most dire cyberwar scenarios.
"Of course it is possible that destructive cyberattacks will never be launched. Regrettably, however, few weapons in the history of warfare, once created, have gone unused," Lynn said. "For this reason, we must have the capability to defend against the full range of cyberthreats. This is indeed the goal of the Defense Department's new cyber strategy, and it's why we are pursuing that strategy with such urgency."
'A Semantic Issue'
The new Pentagon cyber strategy is due to be released later this month, but first there will need to be a resolution of any dispute within the administration over how much emphasis to put on cyberwar scenarios.
At the White House, Schmidt won't say he's gotten any pushback from the Pentagon for his refusal to use the term cyberwar, though he acknowledges there have been "conversations" about the issue.
"When people look at definitions of things in their context as opposed to someone else's context, there's always dialogue," he said.
"Each government agency comes with its own set of experiences and expertise," he said. "So what may be a common term in one organization, the military for example, may have a different meaning in another civilian agency."
The goal, Schmidt said, is to make sure the administration is putting out "the right message" about the cyberthreat "and not something that may be subject to misinterpretation."
The dispute over use of the "cyberwar" term, in fact, may reveal more about competing bureaucratic interests than about different views of the threat landscape.
"This is a semantic issue that is really a proxy for a bunch of turf issues," said Stewart Baker, a former general counsel for the National Security Agency and assistant secretary for policy at the Department of Homeland Security under President George W. Bush. "As soon as you start talking about 'cyberwar,' you are essentially ceding the intellectual heights to the Pentagon, which says, 'If you're talking about war, you're now talking about something the Department of Defense knows how to do, and the civilians should defer to the DoD on how to fight those wars."
Among those arrayed against the Pentagon are the business interests.
"If you go to a CEO of a company and say, 'Listen, you need to do a better job about protecting intellectual property. And, oh, and by the way, you need to be prepared for cyberwar,' that's not a business thing," Schmidt said. "That's not something business leaders would react to. Or they will say, 'That's a government job.'"
As the White House cybersecurity coordinator, Schmidt has to consider all the competing interests, and scaring people about the cyberthreat does not rank high on his agenda.
"When the president said, 'This is an important issue,' it was about fixing the issue, not raising alarms," Schmidt said. "There are plenty of people out there to raise alarms. [This] is about finding a rational way to move forward that's good for the economy, that's good for national security, that's good for public safety, without a lot of hype."

Hopefully we get to sniff this sweet hardwood once again.
Team Name: The Oklahoma City Thunder
Last Year's Record: 55-27
Key Free Agents: Daequan Cook (Reportedly Staying in OKC), Royal Ivey
Team Needs: A Consistent Third Scoring Option, A Backup Big to Replace the Aging Nazr Mohammed
1. What are your team's biggest needs this offseason?
When you reach the Western Conference Finals, it's generally accepted that your team doesn't need a whole lot of work. But the Thunder are young, and many have been quick to point out their shortcomings, especially when compared to those of the experienced Dallas Mavericks. But the Thunder's needs aren't really needs, but more of wants. It would be nice to be able to rely on someone other than Westbrook or Durant to score in the third quarter. It would be nice to have a legitimate post scoring threat. It would be nice to have someone who was quick enough to defend guards who drive the ball. Other than that, there's no one who needs to be necessarily replaced, assuming we re-sign Daequan Cook. Rather, there are players who could improve over time, or players whom could be upgraded.
Below: Strengths and Weaknesses, Westbrook's Ozarka Obsession, Baron "Woodsman" Davis, and How the Thunder Will Fare in a Hypothetical 2011-2012!
2. What are the team's biggest strengths & weaknesses?
Our biggest strength lies in having two dynamic and consistent go-to scorers. The fact that Kevin Durant holds the modern record for scoring 25 points or more on consecutive nights speaks for itself. Theres a zillion different plays you could run for either him or Westbrook, and they usually find a way of working. The second biggest strength has to be the team's solid post defense. Having Ibaka and Perkins in the post is nothing to sneeze at. Perkins brings the size you need in the post, while Ibaka brings the athleticism. Plus, you have Collison waiting in the wings, and he's really good at taking charges.....and being "tough-nosed", whatever that means. Thirdly, the team doesn't really have an area that isn't covered by one of their many valuable role players. Threes? You've got Daequan Cook. Distribution? You've got Eric Maynor. Defense? Sefolosha. Intangibles? Collison. Exciting rookie? Reggie Jackson. Experience? Mohammed. Personality? Robinson. Pretty much anything you need on the floor at a certain time can be accommodated.
Their weaknesses are obvious to most people who watched them in the West finals. And no, their biggest weakness is not Westbrook's ball hogging. It's the fact that we don't have a third go-to scoring option. You would think Harden would be that man, but the plays he scores on are pretty specific. The same goes for Serge Ibaka. There is hope for improvement, though. Harden, as we've seen in the Summer leagues, is getting more dynamic in his scoring. Ibaka is also learning moves in the paint, even trying a few hooks during his stint with Spain. But we'll have to see the team play again before we can pass judgement on whether either have improved enough. The Thunder also have a bit of trouble guarding players on the perimeter. Obviously, Thabo Sefolosha is a good defender most of the time, but the Thunder have problems with certain players, depending on how the opposing team uses them. Jose Juan Barea killed the Thunder by making soccer-like plays into the paint, Tony Allen killed us by sitting on the perimeter, and Ty Lawson was effective at doing both. It's not really a problem with a specific player or their relative skill set, but it is a problem with how easily we get lured into trapping and how we get confused by any offensive play more sophisticated than a pick and roll. If there was any area where we missed Ron Adams the most, this would be it.
3. If there is no season in 2011-12, how is your team set up for 2012?
No one wants to see the season gone, but if it were to happen, the Thunder would be one of the least affected teams. The only true free agents would be Nate Robinson and Nazr Mohammed, and both of them are pretty expendable should they decide to leave. Russell Westbrook will be a restricted free agent, but the team would be insane not to pay him at or near the maximum salary, and he should be on board for at least a couple more years. The only potential fear for 2012 would probably be how well the players stay in shape over the long off-season. Nobody wants to see a repeat of what happened to Shawn Kemp. But, Russell Westbrook has a house that consists entirely of Ozarka Water, so as long as the team parties there, we should be okay.
But the team's real concern should be the 2013-2014 season. At the point, we'll have to re-sign both James Harden and Serge Ibaka, and we really don't have the money to sign both to what their market value will be. Durant's "Thunder U" concept may be appealing to some, but money talks.
4. If you could make one change the NBA's new CBA, what would it be?
(Question Below Answered by the Illustrious J.A. Sherman, who also contributes to this blog.)
If I may summon the ghost of Colonel Slade and take a flamethrower to the current NBA to make it both more financially viable and more competitive, there is one broad brush stroke that I would use to do both – the hard salary cap.
What do we the consumers really want from our NBA? What I think we truly want is for each NBA event to matter in a way that validates the amount of time, resources, and passion we put into it. We want games that are competitive. Los Angeles and New York will always have financial advantages that Indiana and Charlotte do not, and no matter how drastic the soft cap luxury tax penalties might be, those franchises will simply use those additional financial advantages to absorb the cost and retain a competitive advantage. A soft cap conflates the economic advantage with the competitive advantage; the hard cap bifurcates the two. Under a hard cap system, while Team A may still be able to make more money than Team B, the system means that Team A will only succeed on the court by making prudent basketball decisions, just like Team B. Operating costs will be more restrained, overall competition will rise, and with a better product to offer, demand for the NBA as a whole will increase as well.
In the event that a hard cap is unrealistic, as a second notion I would just fight to have Baron "Woodsman" Davis present at every NBPA press conference, because then at least I’d have something to smile about.
5. How far do the Thunder go in Year 4? (Whether that be this year or next.)
At some point, every team hits reality. A star player goes down. Drama hits the locker room. Better teams arise. But I just don't see that coming for the Thunder. Durant and Westbrook have both been extremely durable, and the team is one of the most harmonious I've ever seen. Perk's legal troubles over the summer are things that the Jailblazers would laugh at.
In addition to the stability of the team, the Thunder find themselves in a the middle of a transitioning conference. While the East has some strong contenders who reckon to be around for a long time (Bulls, Heat, and to some extent the Knicks, Hawks, and Magic), the West is wide open. The traditional contenders (Mavericks, Spurs, Lakers) are aging, and the emerging teams (Nuggets, Grizzlies) are teams that the Thunder have proven they can beat. So the NBA Finals is a distinct possibility next season, but whether they can win on such a large stage is another matter entirely.
Yeah, I might be looking at things a bit too optimistically, but that's what hometown blogs are for. Sure, the Thunder might not solve their offensive problem and go down in an early round. Or a new Western contender could emerge in the post-lockout mess. But with things looking the way they are now, this is how I see it playing out.
Predicted Record:
Zorgon: 60-22
J.A. Sherman: 58-24
