VERNON — The city of Vernon will celebrate Labor Day this Saturday with food, music, fireworks and fun, in spite of recent flooding, said Mayor Michelle Cook.
In fact, the flooding, which began on July 2, was the reason the Fourth of July celebration was postponed until Labor Day. Now, just a few days before the official end of summer and the beginning of September, Vernon and Washington County are still dealing with flooded roads, businesses and homes.
"The activities will begin at 5 p.m., and the fireworks will be at 9 p.m.," Cook told the Vernon City Council on Monday night. "Gilley's is providing the entertainment, and there will be bounce houses and games for the kids." The city will also be providing the food for the event, she said.
The only thing that is missing from the July 4 celebration will be the parade.
Volunteers will be in Vernon helping families repair their flood-damaged homes, the mayor said. Ben Tarpley of Live Oaks, Fla., founder of the volunteer group Hammers and Hearts, reported at the Aug. 19 council workshop that his group, along with Catholic Charities and the Northwest Florida Baptist Association and the Methodist churches were beginning to organize work parties to help repair people's homes.
Cook said it has been brought to her attention, by the volunteer groups, that there is a need for food donations. The volunteer groups are working to set up a food pantry at city hall.
The volunteers work on private properties, but will not work to rebuild rental properties, Tarpley said.
People interested in volunteering to help Hammers and Hearts with cleaning and construction should call Tarpley at 478-258-7585.
Residents wanting to be added to the list for assistance should call the county Emergency Management Office at 638-6203.
Vernon City Hall will be closed on Sept. 2 for the holiday, City Clerk Dian Hendrix said.
The council also voted to hire a temporary employee to help in public works while Public Works Director Gerald Ward is out of the office on leave. The council also approved a pay increase for the city's public works director during Monday's meeting.
The council also discussed former city attorney Kerry Adkison's final bill, which the council has challenged.
Hendrix said the city has received an itemized bill and an affidavit, as well as an email from Adkison.
Adkison is refusing to let the city have the files pertaining to ongoing litigation until the bill is paid. City Attorney Michelle Tagert said Adkison is holding the files as a lien until the payment is made, but she needs the files to assess the accuracy of the itemized bill the former attorney has submitted.
"I see a few charges on here that I think are probably reasonable," Tagert said of the bill.
The city has been in ongoing litigation with a property owner, and Tagert said she is concerned with the amount of work the city is being billed for that case.
Councilman Tray Hawkins asked Tagert what would be a reasonable bill for that case.
"Without the files, I cannot tell you what would be reasonable," she said.
The city also contests the bill for the lawsuit that Adkison lost to Florida Freedom News, the former parent company of the Washington County News. The lawsuit was the result of the city council, under Adkison's counsel, violating the Florida Sunshine Law in April 2012. The matter went to court, and ultimately the newspaper was awarded the sum of $3,900.
"I don't mind paying Mr. Adkison," said Councilman Joey Brock. "My concern is some of the statements he has made to the council, and that is why I think we should turn this over to our new attorney. I can't see us paying him $27,000. I'm not saying we don't owe him $27,000, but I would like for him to prove it."
Hawkins asked Tagert if the city could enter into arbitration with Adkison. "I don't want the city having any more litigation," he said.
"You can attempt to settle with him," Tagert said. "My main concern is I don't want to repeat work that the city has already paid for as our other litigation moves forward."
"I'd just like you two to get together and work this out," Hawkins said to Tagert.
Tagert said she had been unsuccessful in getting Adkison to return her calls, but she would continue trying to contact him.
"How about I call him and get him to get in touch with you?" Hawkins asked.
In other business, Fire Chief Tim Barnes reported that both fire trucks are still out of service following an accident on Aug. 18.
The two trucks were on their way down Highway 79 to a car fire in Ebro on a rainy Sunday when the fire engine started to skid in the rain after braking to avoid a vehicle which had suddenly stopped in front of the truck in the roadway.
"They didn't pull over, they just hit the brakes when they saw us," Barnes told the council at the Aug. 19 workshop.
The fire engine turned sideways on Highway 79, and the tanker truck was unable to stop and struck the fire engine.
As of Monday, there was no report on the how much the repairs to the fire trucks would cost, or even if the trucks were repairable.
"So basically, we're out of the fire business," Hawkins said.

Sparton Table Radio
The first radio station, KDKA of Pittsburgh, was established in 1920, and by 1925 there were 571 stations in the United States and more than 2.75 million radios had been sold. This radio exhibits the simple, bold, rounded forms of the streamlined style that characterized much American design of the 1930s and implies the idea of motion and aerodynamics even in stationary objects. Walter Dorwin Teague was originally trained as a graphic designer, but after a successful stint as a freelance designer for Eastman Kodak cameras, he became one of the most renowned industrial, or product, designers in this country.

It looks to be a fairly quiet week on Capitol Hill. Members of the House are out of town, back in their congressional districts for a constituent work week. Meanwhile in the Senate, the America COMPETES Act—which funds government research and development initiatives and STEM initiatives—is up for reauthorization and will be the focus of a hearing by the Commerce, Science and Transportation Committee. The health insurance marketplace also gets a look from a couple of committees.
Each day, Innovation Daily checks the pulse of global innovation--courtesy of Innovation America. Here, we take a look at a handful of relevant stories it compiled last week.
The world's largest 1,000 public corporate R&D spenders recently hit a record high of US$638 billion ensuring life-changing innovation at every turn. Or does it?
As the world economy continues to work its way out of the effects of a global economic crisis, countries of all sizes are turning to entrepreneurship to help drive their recovery. In a few short weeks, millions of people will participate in Global Entrepreneurship Week (Nov. 18 – 24) events, activities and competitions in 139 countries—the largest number of countries in the six years of the initiative..
The Ewing Marion Kauffman Foundation launched GEW in 2008 – at the start of the economic crisis – to connect aspiring entrepreneurs and others who can help them take the next step in their entrepreneurial journey.
The pace continues to quicken on Capitol Hill this week with a number of hearings relevant to entrepreneurial development and startups in general. USAID is in the discussion on the future of Egypt and Syria and how it can support broader development (and entrepreneurs) there. Other topics covered by hearings include: a review of the JOBS Act at a year and a half, improving the US patent system, broadband adoption in the US, cyber-security, basic energy research and PPACA implementation challenges.
A pair of reports coming out in the last week point paint a picture of a fairly stable angel investing market in the U.S. The Q2 2013 Halo Reportfrom the Angel Resource Institute and the Q1 Q2 2013 Angel Market Report from the Center for Venture Research suggest that year-on-year numbers were either fairly flat or trending upward slightly.
You can file this under "the impact of networks"--or perhaps more simply, "it takes one to know one." A new paper from the Kauffman Foundation shows that there is a link between knowing an entrepreneur and being one yourself. And while "Getting the Bug: Is (Growth) Entrepreneurship Contagious?" doesn't necessarily suggest causality, it doesn't take a leap of faith to think that connecting the uninitiated to more entrepreneurs would increase the likelihood that they would become entrepreneurs themselves.
Following last week's comments on the Global Entrepreneurship Research Network, I offer a second and final post on matters arising from the government-convened entrepreneurship summit in Kuala Lumpur. The roundtable discussion among "startup policy" experts on October 12 signaled a new chapter in knowledge creation around how governments can better enable their startup communities.
With the federal government back in business, a couple of House committee hearings are on our radar screen for the week ahead. Financial Services examines challenges to capital formation while Energy & Commerce review the evolution of wired communications networks. Currently there aren't any hearings scheduled on the Senate side--but the Senate Committee on Small Business and Entrepreneurship has an archived webcast of a hearing last week featuring small business owners on the impact of the government shutdown.

He has come down on I fop of buildings aud telegraph wires I more tinies than lie can remember, and , once he wns tangled In the pai-acbnte I and enveloped In the balloon Itself In i tbe tfip of a big elm tree In Wlscon.'iiii, ; where he hung si'venty-Hvc feet from ] the ground for six hours before any I one happoncil along to got bim down. I Hut he says tbe worst "lix" that ho ever got liiio wus in Soiitlierii Wyom¬ ing, In a little town In Ureen Hivor Canon. .\iid be tells lllc story tbi.s ! way. it was the wildest and most savage looking country I ever saw-all bare dirt mountains and granite crags, and iusty groascwood valleys and deserts, with no trace of living green to make a man think be is In a clvillzod land. It Is curious that when tbey Irrigate those gray, arid valleys tbey turn Into fertile flelds and gardens, Just like Ohio, where I was raised. That Is the way It is lu Green Itiver Canon. 'J'he pretty llltle valley, with pale green wlllowa along tbo sandy river, and the dark alfnlfii tieldt lie between those lonesome iiiils and cliffs like a gem In 11 rock. I went out Iliere froii. Denver, on a good offer, lo ascend during a Septeui- bor festival. Tho valley was about three miles wide, and I calculated that tbe wind was aliout right Ihat aft.-r- noon to carry me over It and give mc 1 fair jump Into tbe alfalfa Holds or >ii tiic sandbars. Uut you can never foretell the wind in Wyoming. Well, this time I was to make n plain parachute lea|> -without any can¬ non act or trapeze work, anil I meant lo iiinko » side leap, as I always do. In the side leap the lord Is fastened to Ibe side of tho balloon, nnd the weight of the man breaks it as be lumps off sidewlse from the bar. This leap generally tips the bnliooi, and lets the hot air out iiulckly, so that It will (lot drift far. The top ot the parachute IS always fastened to the balloon, to make it unfold right at the start. I started to Inflate the bag that day wilh more than the ordinary crowd of helpers close about, for an ascension is a great thing in that country; tho Indians aud Mexicans, and mott of Iho cowboys, too, had never even seen I lialluou before. 'ibe bag grew blggoi'. Wlicii every- thing was ready I llxnl myself on the bar. cast the lines olt and shot np iwlflly. enjoying the astonlshiiient of Ihe wild crowd. I drew myself up nnd exociMed a few fiiiuy kicks In my scanty red costnino. You would be surprised to iind bow you can boar every litlie sound ^ ben in a balloon in nild-iilr. You can hear voices and conversation ilislinctly ut IIIKHI foot, and a shout loiiios np slarllingly strong. There was silence for a while as I wlilriod up above them, and then I heard a deep voice say. as 11' in my oar: "What's llie fellow doing? Losing hit clothes'/" 1 glanced round behind inc. and .law with horror that Ibe poracliule wns training lotisoiy in the air b.'hlnd tbe bag. The top rope bad been cul or broken by some one lu tbe crowd, nnd Ihe thing was utterly useless In Ita up¬ side down mid disordered condition. Now this was a terribly serious busl- ness. I always tnke the greatest care that the paiachiite is properly ar¬ ranged, ami I had taken care that time, but the mischief had been done at tbe last moment. Tbere was nothing to do except cling to the bar aud lake tbe chances of be Ing killed when the air was cooled or exhausted nnd tbe balloon fell. 11 would como down with terrible veloc ity with uiy welgiit beneath il. I glanced up at the big. swaying bag and ot Ihe murky, swirling, warm air In the inoutli of It. nnd then I looked dowu. I was about '.'00(1 feet up. Tbe gray horizon Roomed lo be rising all about lue. and the valley and ground liolow to be sinking like tbe bottom of a bow!. The bnlloDii struck a strong ciirreui of nir when ll reached ;Iikkj foot, and I bad lo bold bard to tbo bar and llu- ropes. Instead of tho bieoie down the canon. wbUh I bad expeiled would carry me over tbe valley, I was in a directly opposite smilbwen w in.l which was bowling me along very fnsl. right over Ihe high rock walls of the oniion. I could see tbe black shadows lying along the sunlit slopes at their foot To tbe soulbenst (ireen lliver Canon lay with white and brown walls of rook rising from the gray val l..y of tagobush ami cactus, with tlu.' river shining among while saud nnd green willows, until It dUappcarod among peaks and liiittes. To the north there was nothing but a dr.'ary wilder¬ ness of bald, low mouulalus. I felt lost ill thai air. for 1 bad never bi'en In ibe mouulalus before, and the sight of all thai savage scenery and Ibo thought of tlio hundreds of miles of it acared me more. In some way. than my real, iiumedlale danger of bring killed n lien tbe bnlioou sbonld fall. But (be balloon kept biioyanlly on *.o the northeast, acting In a most ween- trie faihion. and I began lo watch It with won.ler.

This bo wllderlng.motion and my bruises near¬ ly took away my bobsos. ami It was several minutes before I could realize that I hnd struck a portimi of tho canon wall, on whicii the balloon bnd caught, and that my life was saved for Ibo present. I struggled free from tbe tangled ro|ies and cloth and glanced down. Below me the rock fell in a perpendic- ulnr descent fur nt least UHK) feet, and at Its base was a sleep slope of snud, wilh ninssivo iionlib-rs Jutting out. Then llie ground fell nwny to the sage- bush carpeted valley and the rlv.i' course. In Iwo diroctions I saw the walls of tht canon going down to the same kind of a footiiig. but thoy were some distance b-.ck of me and liehind tbe crag where the balloon bung. I bad lodged on a iiafrow promontory. As soon ns I uiMerslnod ibis I re¬ solved to crawl back to the main cllft and see wbnt cbniicos tbere were of scaling It, «n I worked iiiys<'lt up by the wreckage until I was on top nt the torn cloth, and there I saw a sight that made me sick wltb fear. I stood on the very lop of n great pinnacle ot rock—one of those strange formations, so fnr as 1 know, that are found only in our Western deserts. There was no possible descent from It. Between mo nnd the real wail of the canon there was a gulf of .'KM) or -l(K) foot wide and at least (KH) foot In depth, where the shadow of Ibo walls uinde a bine gloom. Us top was not sl.^ty feet across, and was largely cov¬ ered by the wrecked balloon, which was flapping over tbe side nnd throw¬ ing fantastic siiadows on the eastern wall that curved about me. .\nd bow the wind did blow: It was this that made nie do something. 1 crawled under a flapping part of tbo big cloth, for I was afraid that It would all bo torn loose and sail down the gorge. AYbeii Ihe outer edge of the dolb would blow np and Hap I cnngbt glimpses of the dim blue walls uf the canon miles away, wltb yellow patcboa of sunlight here and there, and I bad to shut my eyes. After wbnt seomeil hours I felt more composed and crawled out to lake an¬ other look. The coiipcr sun was al¬ ready behind the nearest cliff, and the wind had then dioil iiuito away. I looked down tbe gulf and at the walls, and then walked to the outer side of Iho pinnailc. whore tbo lower¬ ing rock bnd scarcely a projecliou for Its entire dlstaiiio. The parachute bung there, and without any Idea In my mind 1 pulled it up and straight- one<I It along the rock to sec if it wns Injured. Then, as I looked nt tbe blue dusk of Croon Klvor Canon I thought, "Why not Iry to tix the pnrncbuto niid drop Into tbe gulf, aud trust to luck to keep me from the wall nnd the rocks below." Within .MXl feet that parachute would open. If It would opcu nt all. .\ night on that penk In lAe piercing cold would kill me. Tbe next day would bring no rescue. But would Ibe parachute fly free? 1 gazed down tho crag, and then boldly clambered over on the cordage of tbe, balloon and bung above the canon.

SUFFIELD—Ronald DeMello beat her and allegedly pointed a pellet gun to her head in the past.
But Jadwiga Bodnar, a 66-year-old package store owner, was devoted to a "kind, loving" side of DeMello that police never saw, and the two were determined to be together.
At a time when state officials are examining how to keep better track of violent parolees, this is a case with a twist: a victim of abuse who continually sought out her assailant.
When DeMello was charged with assaulting her in 2004, Bodnar begged the judge to release him. After he was instead sentenced to three years in prison, Bodnar visited him 128 times in 2005 and 2006, according to records released to The Courant this week.
DeMello has been released from prison three times since -- once on a furlough and twice on parole. Two of the releases came despite a parole officer's warning that DeMello "will in fact hurt someone" if paroled, records show.
All three times he was released, he was caught at Bodnar's apartment in Suffield, in violation of the state parole board's conditions, records show.
The first two times DeMello was found at Bodnar's apartment, parole officers reported fresh bruises on her face. The third time, Sept. 7, she lay dead from blunt traumatic injury to her abdomen.
Police said they are waiting for an autopsy report from the state before determining whether to charge DeMello in connection with Bodnar's death.
Politicians are demanding to know why DeMello was allowed to have contact with Bodnar, the victim of the assault that landed him in prison.
"I just can't imagine why that would be allowed," said state Sen. John A. Kissel, R-Enfield, who has called for a review of DeMello's parole. "The state has a responsibility to protect the public even if they're not acting in their own best interest."
A Tortured Relationship
Police, prison and parole files for DeMello depict a man struggling with alcoholism and a volatile relationship with a woman who seemed both to love and fear him.
Suffield police had responded to a steady stream of domestic disputes between DeMello and Bodnar at her home since at least 2003. During a 911 call from Bodnar's apartment Dec. 5, 2003, a dispatcher wrote in a call log: "Party states that her male friend is abusing her and she can not take it anymore."
Calls like that prompted Suffield police, when on patrol in Bodnar's neighborhood, to routinely look up DeMello's name to see if there were any outstanding protective orders against him. DeMello had been arrested in Massachusetts and charged with three counts of assault and battery and two counts of assault and battery with a dangerous weapon before moving to Connecticut, records show. It was unclear whether he was convicted or served prison time.
During one incident in Suffield in 2004, Bodnar claimed DeMello shoved her to the ground, pointed a pellet gun at her head and slapped her when she tried to get up, according to an arrest warrant. In another incident the same year, Bodnar, her face covered in bruises, asked officers to "keep" DeMello for two days.
"She explained that he has been very `nasty' lately," an officer wrote in DeMello's arrest warrant.
A judge eventually issued a protective order prohibiting DeMello from entering Bodnar's home and from contacting her -- an order DeMello violated four times in 2004. During a court hearing in which he pleaded guilty to the violations, Bodnar spoke on his behalf.
"I just want to take him home," she told Judge Howard Scheinblum, "Please, because we're supposed to get married. How are we going to be separated?"

Well, this is why this topic shouldn't be in this section. The video says that after 9/11 we made the decision to take down governments in the Middle East. We've been in a few already and we are planning to go in a few more.
Now Syria "Has nerve gas" and will use it on their people. Right.
Posted 20 December 2012 - 17:11
And jdawg's answer is why it ends up in the conspiracy forum, people really believe these crazy notions and make all kinds of statements about "neocons" yet we have THE most openly Marxist President in our history as the one pushing for involvement in Syria, even before the election no sane Democrat or Republican wanted to get involved in that mess, only Obama and his staff, and even they were hesitant, because we have no valid reason to get involved in a NATO or UN humanitarian mission but hey keep believing that these invisible "neocons" are the ones pushing for anything involving Syria, the Military is too busy sorting out how and where to make the huge cuts that are pending to come their way to be focused on any other war

You obviously don't even have a clue what marxist means.
Marxism is an economic and sociopolitical worldview and method of socioeconomic inquiry based upon a materialist interpretation of historical development, a dialectical view of social change, and an analysis of class-relations within society and their application in the analysis and critique of the development of capitalism. In the mid-to-late 19th century, the intellectual development of Marxism was pioneered by two German philosophers, Karl Marx and Friedrich Engels. Marxist analyses and methodologies have influenced multiple political ideologies and social movements throughout history. Marxism encompasses an economic theory, a sociological theory, a philosophical method and a revolutionary view of social change. There is no one definitive Marxist theory; Marxist analysis has been applied to a variety of different subjects and has been modified during the course of its development so that there are multiple Marxist theories.

Football for Hope Project in Zimbabwe
Design Fellow Kuda Mutsonziwa relocated to Bulawayo in Zimbabwe last month to work closely with the local consultants and Centre host on the Bulawayo FFH Center.
Part of the Football for Hope campaign, the Centre will support the expansion and strengthening of Centre host Grassroots Soccer's (GRS) relationships with community stakeholders and health services partners by providing space for HIV testing and delivery of HIV health services. Grassroots Soccer's partners will have access to testing and counseling space to provide HIV and child abuse support programs, among other activities.
The new Bulawayo Football for Hope Centre design has been driven by two major factors: to address GRS expansion plans to accommodate their curriculum and centralize their activities; and to maximise views of the planned fooball pitch as well as future activities on the site. An L-shaped building was devised to accommodate. The building frames a small arrival courtyard that will welcome visitors, and creates a shaded social outdoor area beyond. All rooms are accessible directly off the courtyard via an external circulation area and benching has been proposed in this area to activate the space.

When Sir Edward Markham (Alastair Williamson) is horribly disfigured by African natives, he is kept chained and out of sight by his brother Julian (Vincent Price). When Sir Edward escapes, he goes on a killing spree in a desperate attempt to get even with the society that has made him a monstrous outcast. Julian enlists the help of African witch doctor N'Galo (Harry Baird) for medicine to make Sir Edward appear dead so he can be evicted from the house. Dr. Neuhardt (Christopher Lee) attempts to help the hideous human. There are plenty of female corpses around to drip rivers of fresh, hot blood in this feature, the 13th Edgar Allan Poe story in which Price has appeared.~ Dan Pavlides, All Movie Guide

Citroen's Cactus was a remarkable concept car. Even more amazing, it will make it onto the road looking almost intact. It goes into production this summer as the C4 Cactus, and you can buy it in the UK from autumn.
Keep calm: it's the Citroen C4 Cactus
France's less-is-more, heartrate-lowering hatch has reached production. Bubble-wrap and all
Not only the looks, but the philosophy of the concept car has also been carried through. Er... philosophy? How very French and up-itself. Are we to believe the C4 Cactus sits around in smoky cafes and pontificates on the meaning of life over an absinthe? Come on, it's a Focus-sized hatchback.
OK, maybe 'philosophy' is putting it a bit strong. But among its peers, the C4 Cactus really does live by a rather different motto.
It's supposed to lower your heartbeat. So the design is soft-looking, without being cutesy. It gives an aura of protection. Inside, the furniture and architecture encourage calm sociability. The gadgetry is easy to use, and in any case there's less of it than rivals tout. There are no options for lane assist or active cruise, while the instruments are few and simple.
The most notable feature outside is the 'airbump' plastic on the doors. It's a layer of rubbery-feeling material with actual blisters of gas. This literally bubble-wraps the car, making a surface that's resistant to dings and scratches. That and the SUV-style wheel-arch plastic mean it shouldn't be worrying to drive in narrow streets and car parks. The airbumps come in four colours, so there's loads of scope for customisation, as people want these days.
Citroen's next next radical step was abandon the assumption that more poweeeeer is always better. The C4 Cactus's most forceful engine is a 110bhp turbo three-cylinder petrol.
Don't click away just yet. Small, smooth, spirited turbo triples are a good thing. More important, because of the low power, there was no need to use heavy suspension or drivetrain. Top speed is just 118mph, so the brakes and cooling apertures are lightweighted and reduced.
Continuing the lightweight, simple theme, they didn't even bother with the new Citroen EMP2 platform, because that's engineered for the mass of seven passengers and big diesel engines in the C4 Picasso. Instead the C4 Cactus has a lengthened and strengthened (using aluminium and high-strength steel) version of the DS3/Peugeot 208 platform. Which is light, cheap and well-proven.
And so with this feathery triple under the bonnet, the C4 Cactus weighs spot-on a tonne. The lightest Focus is nearly 30 percent lardier. So, even though the engineers say they set up the C4 Cactus for an old-school soft French ride, it should be agile and nippy because it's so light. It's also low in drag, and that too helps consumption.
Inside, it's about lounging room as well as simplicity. The simple LED panel for the instruments takes up little room and is cheaper than actual mechanical dials. The passenger airbag has been kicked upstairs to a position behind the sun visor. This leaves space for a huge bin of a glovebox.
The rear seat doesn't split-fold or slide, so it's much lighter and cheaper. The rear doors have hinged opening windows, not wind-down ones. That saves much cost, and 11kg, versus an electric set. Plus it allows for huge door bins. They look like they'd take a couple of magnums of Bordeaux each.
The money saved has been poured back into the car where you can see and feel and enjoy it. That's genuine stitching on the dash and doors. The upholstery reminds us of natty French tailoring. All versions have LEDs inside and out.
See, it's different. Generally speaking, the car industry assumes that what you want is more complication, more gadgetry, more speed and grip. So the majority of base model hatchbacks have these things stripped out, and are specifically designed to look impoverished. That way you're nudged into paying more to climb the range.
Citroen had been doing that, but found it wasn't as good as its rivals at selling high-end kit or big-tyred aggression. So the designers and marketing people paused, and decided to ask people some canny questions. Not what they wanted but what they actually couldn't do without.
That became the baseline. Citroen figured that by leaving out the inessential, they could concentrate on making the essential better. And it's not just about physical substance, it's a state of mind.
