Examination of Egyptian mummified animal
Collections Conservation Tabs
CT scanning is a great technique for non-destructively examining the interior of museum objects in three dimensions. A regular x-radiograph provides a picture of the interior of an object projected onto a flat plane (the film, phosphor plate, or digital detector). These projection x-radiographs can be difficult to interpret, particularly when the object is made of many pieces with similar x-ray attenutation and when features in the object overlap. Computed tomography (CT) scanning is a related technique which takes many x-radiographs of an object from all sides and then mathematically predicts the volume which would have caused this series of projections to appear. The result is usually delivered as a series of images of evenly spaced 'slices' through the object. The stack of slices can be rendered in three dimensions and areas with similar x-ray attenuation can be false-colored for further study. The images below illustrate the technical examination of an Late Period Egyptian mummified animal.
After CT scanning, the slices from the CT scan have been rendered as a volume. You can see that the wrappings are rendered reasonably faithfully.
|We can use software to remove the wrappings from the volume and look at what is underneath. Here you can see what remains of the animal that was mummified.
|By selectively making some areas more transparent, we can see additional features. There is a metal hook (rendered green) which was left in the animal's hind-quarters. There is also a piece of cane (rendered orange) thrust through two of the cervical vertebrae and into the foramen magnum of the skull, presumably to ensure that the head was kept in the required position.
|A maximum intensity projection taken from the CT scan allows us to see detail in the skull. The images of the skull allowed the animal to be identified as an early adult of the North-African sub-group of Gazella dorcas.

I find it hard to believe that two of our Northumberland County commissioners think that cutting the pay of elected county officials should come about.
We have good people in these offices that could go elsewhere and make a lot more money, but their love of community and desire to serve keeps them in difficult and stressful jobs.
When we need the best and the brightest to provide leadership two of our supposed leaders want to pay them below the poverty level.
Mr. Bridy wants to eliminate the "career politician." What gives him the right to take away from the voters of this county, the right to choose who we want to serve in these offices?
The voters are who select our row office holders with their votes.
Does Mr. Bridy not believe in free and open elections?
Let us reward those that do a great job by electing and re-electing as we choose and not be dictated to by the commissioners.
Rodger A. Babnew, Chairman Northumberland County Democratic Committee

WILMINGTON, North Carolina - Anna Munger and Carly Tanner won three events and the men's 200 Medley Relay opened the meet with a school record as UNCW swept College of Charleston in swimming and diving action on Saturday at the Seahawk Natatorium.
The women earned a 183-109 victory while the men checked in with a 168-121 win.
Munger and Tanner both swam legs on the winning 200 Medley Relay before winning the 50 and 100 Freestyles and the 100 and 200 Breastroke events, respectively.
The relay tandem of Valtteri Halonen, C.J. Fiala, Stephen Conrad and Joe Gallene posted a winning time of 1:31.69 to set a venue standard that stood since 2010.
Halonen also added wins in the 100 and 200 Backstrokes.
Michael Williams narrowly missed setting another pool record when he won the 100 Freestyle with a time of 45.97, less than a half second off the school record.
In diving, Meg Gildea won both the 1 and 3-meter boards with scores of 233.17 and 241.27 points, respectively.
UNCW returns to the pool on Jan. 28 against Wingate.

Barrier Island residents who ignored mandatory evacuation orders for Hurricane Sandy made a "stupid and selfish" decision, Gov. Chris Christie said. During a press conference in Ewing on Monday, the New Jersey governor urged those who stayed behind to get off the islands if they can find a way to do so safely.
"You're putting other people in harm's way. There are already rescues going on. This is putting first responders in danger," Christie said.
High tide is expected to come in between 8 p.m. and 9 p.m., with the heaviest rains arriving around midnight before Sandy makes landfall, according to the governor.
"When it comes tonight, we're not going to be able to rescue you," Christie said. "The flooding along the New Jersey coastline is going to be significant.
Christie also announced the Garden State Parkway closure had been extended to include Exit 63 to the southern terminus in both directions. He urged New Jersey residents to avoid driving unless absolutely necessary. Additional closures may be announced as the weather worsens.
"People really need to stay home and stay off the roads," Christie said. "If you have any doubt as to whether it's necessary or not, stay home."
New Jersey residents are beginning to feel the impact of the high winds, with 35,000 households without power, according to Christie. Those who lose electricity should expect to be remain without it for an extended periods. Once winds reach 40 mph, safety regulations prevent line workers from manning bucket trucks to fix downed fires, he said.
"These power companies are not getting out there in the next 24 hours, maybe the next 36 hours," Christie said.

SABATTUS — Fishermen cried foul this week after a number of vehicles owned by Fish For a Cure derby participants on Sabattus Pond were towed during the event Saturday.
Although Marr's Point Road is clearly marked with "no parking" signs, John Chabot of Auburn and other fishermen parked there to have close access to some of the best fishing spots on the lake. A resident on the private road, which is maintained by paying members of the Marr's Point Road Association, called Anytime Towing in Lewiston to have the vehicles removed, association secretary Donna Childs said.
The towing company, which holds a contract with the association to remove illegally parked cars, pulled seven vehicles owned by Fish For a Cure participants from the road, said Anytime Towing Manager Dan, who declined to give his last name. More than 15 cars were parked on the road, he said, but some drivers returned and moved their vehicles before the tow trucks got to them.
Anytime charged the drivers a minimum of $200 to release the impounded vehicles: a $120 towing fee, a $40 gate fee and a $40 storage fee, Dan said. Trucks with snowmobile trailers were charged for two vehicles, a total of $400, he said.
The fees were higher than the company's normal $50 fee because the contract requires the company to be on call around the clock, Dan said when contacted Tuesday.
Derby participants were shocked by the towing fees.
"I'm very, very disappointed," Chabot said. "It's not right, that's all. It's a one-day-a-year thing, and none of the cars were parked in the middle of the road so you couldn't get by. I thought this was a fundraiser for breast cancer, not for the towing people."
The Fish For a Cure derby raises money to fight breast cancer. Now in its second year, the event had issues with local residents and road associations around Sabattus Pond last year, as well, derby organizer Jay Davis of Bowdoinham said.
Road associations around Sabattus Pond "feel like they own the lake and they don't want to allow anyone access to it," Davis said. The fishermen "are out there supporting a derby raising money for breast cancer. Why would you have them towed and make people pay hundreds of dollars?"
Even the towing company agreed that the situation was an unfavorable one. They didn't find out that the drivers had been part of a charity event until the fourth person got to the register, Dan said.
"If we had known it was a benefit, we never would have done that," he said, adding that the fishermen were so irate it was difficult to talk to them.
Marr's Point Road residents pointed out that there are good reasons for not allowing nonresidents to park on the road. Truck and snowmobile traffic between the road and the pond aggravate erosion, Childs said. The narrow street is private property and clearly marked, and the cars parked on the road presented a safety hazard.
Even without banks of snow lining the street, it is difficult for two vehicles to pass along most of the road. With all of the fishermen's vehicles stopped there, "a fire truck could never have gotten in there," Dan said, contradicting the statement by Chabot that the vehicles didn't block the road.
"I've lost a niece to breast cancer, but I wouldn't want to lose someone else because of lack of access," said Joan Hamann, who lives in Greene and has owned a camp on Marr's Point Road for decades. "It's all about safety."

Birth Place: Chicago, Illinois, USA
Robin Williams was born on July 21, 1951, the only child of a Ford auto executive and a former model from Mississippi. The well-to-do family lived outside of Detroit, MI, where Williams attended private school but was a shy kid who largely entertained himself with his own imagination. When Williams was 16 years old, the family relocated to a town North of San Francisco, CA. In interviews, Williams recalled that when his parents took him to see Stanley Kubrick's "2001: A Space Odyssey" (1969) on the big screen in San Francisco, the teenager was not only amazed by the film but inspired to try acting. In his senior year, he joined the theater group at Redwood High School in Larkspur and made an... Continue Bio >>

Scenes from the Lucky Rice Festival Opening Night Dumpling Party
The Fourth Annual Lucky Rice Festival—a week-long event celebrating Asian cuisine—officially kicked off last night with a "dumpling party" featuring some amazing bites from chef Danny Bowien of Mission Chinese Food. There were not only dumplings but also noodles, meatballs, and even the rogue tostada. Despite any seeming differences, the dishes were all united in deliciousness.

I'm a complete noob (well, sorry to mislead you, I DO know what a dumbell is ;D) at weights, but I did do some pressups a while back and managed to get to 70 in a minute. However - I looked absolutely no different than when i started at 20 a minute..
I want to gain a bit of muscle WITHOUT any fancy equipment (none at all if possible because I'm really poor), specifically bulk up my shoulders and arms.
I know there's a sticky thread but I just want to focus on the one element specifically, so I'm not sure if anything would change and how.
I don't want to do any lower body stuff since I can already get up the stairs in just over a second (yes I did time it). But it's scary how physically weak I can be sometimes with upper body.
SO. As of yesterday I started doing as many situps as I can handle, then as many pressups.
1. Should I work out every day? Every two days?
2. Are these excercises the best for what I'm trying to do?
3. Is there a specific structure I should incorporate for what I'm trying to do? (eg. 20 reps then break, 10 of something else, 20 more etc.)

You will not make progress unless you find a way to make the exercises harder; wearing a weighted vest and adding weight, switching to bar dips or hand stand presses. That is why barbells and dumbbells are prefered, they are much easier to make progression.

Well, I don't mind not progressing fast as I don't want to do it with pro equipment and take hours every day - but I'm willing to put aside effort for it just to do some basic workouts.
Are you saying that without them I can't build up my shoulders a bit? (and I see picture on here of MAHUSIVE pecks and what not, I just want tone and slight build up)
I'm just wondering how often I should do what (that meets my criteria) (:
sorry again for being picky xD
Nothing wrong with not wanting to lift weights. At least buy a pull up bar for $20.
Workout 3-5 times per week, start eating more to build muscle.
Just make sure you progress on all lifts. There are lots of sights you can Google to see how to do this.
Example: push ups, to clapping push ups, to double class, plyo clappers, and finally push up so explosively to rotate your body 180 degrees in the air and land.
Chin ups, to pull ups, to one arm pull ups, clapping pull ups, to muscle ups.
Handstand against a wall holds, to Handstand push ups, then walking on your hands, to doing Handstand push ups without a wall to balance.
Sit ups, planks, twists, etc to planches, full leg raises, and finally wind shield wipes and dragon flags.
All of the latter movements in each section are extremely difficult and take a great deal of overall body strength and skill. Not the same type of strength from benching and squatting heavy, but whatever right? I can bet if you get 10 super strong weight liters, maybe one or two could perform some of those final movements.

Forgive me for all those typos but I'm using a phone
And don't neglect your lower body. Do box jumps while increasing height and doing them while holding weight (books, bag of sand, etc.). Pistols are great too.

My Journal
that's amazing, thanks so much!
1. What if I were to work out every day - would it hinder my progress?
2. Do I just do them as many reps 'till I drop, or is there a routine anyone would recommend?
at the moment, and i'm sure this isn't good, I'm just doing as many as I can and that's it.

Generally, if you read a piece of advice on the internet, assume it's wrong until proven otherwise. This applies especially to "conventional wisdom". -Belial
Maybe you can workout everyday for now, the things you're doing don't put too much stress on your body. But as you try to progress you will find it much harder without rest days. And remember your body grows when its not working.
Read what's on the sites that r2473 listed.
Just use common sense. If can do 100 pushups pretty easy right now, try working on getting 100 clapping push ups, and move from there.
age: 22 .... height: 5'8 .... weight: 175
My Journal
What everybody is trying to explain to you is; You will not make much difference in your appearance by just increasing the reps you can accomplish. That has a limited return. You have to find a way to progress to harder or heavier movements. The body needs a reason to change, give it one.

One thing to consider with pushups is form: almost every novices pushup form, even those that are relatively fit and energetic, is total shit... total complete half-assed minimal range of motion and with flimsy core. Google/youtube some videos on proper pushup form and then either watch yourself carefully (and be honest!) or get a friend to observe as you perform pushups to standards; most people see the number of pushups they can do drop rather significantly. Using better form should make this basic move much more challenging.

We invite you to consider the M.S. in Urban Studies from UNO.
The Master of Science in Urban Studies (MSUS) program at University of Nebraska at Omaha provides critical skills and competencies to people who want to make a difference in society. The MSUS is housed within the School of Public Administration, which offers several concentration and degree programs at the undergraduate and graduate levels (see the School website, http://spa.unomaha.edu).
Professionals are needed to address the challenges facing large and small urban centers in areas such as development, inequality, and the environment, and the purpose of the Urban Studies program is to prepare people for these roles.The UNO program allows them to participate in a high-quality urban studies program with well-known scholars and experienced practitioners.
The MSUS program gives students the conceptual knowledge and technical skills they need to understand and analyze the physical, social, economic, and political environment of cities and towns. Students come to the Urban Studies program with a variety of undergraduate backgrounds and career interests.
Graduates from the program take positions in public, nonprofit, and private organizations, in management, planning, technical, and other professional roles, and they have opportunities to work on important issues in contemporary urban society. These can include, for example, encouraging citizen participation and neighborhood activities, developing affordable housing, maintaining and expanding infrastructure, and building local economies.
The program consists of 37 credit hours, 12 courses, plus an internship for students who do not have significant professional experience in their intended field of practice.
We hope you find the UNO Urban Studies program interesting, and we encourage you to contact us if you have questions or need additional information. The contact person for the program is Dr. Meagan Van Gelder, who coordinates academic programs for the School of Public Administration; her email address is firstname.lastname@example.com.

NEW YORK, NY - APRIL 26: (L-R) Star Jones, Marlee Matlin, Donald Trump, Meatloaf and John Rich attend An Evening with "The Celebrity Apprentice" at Florence Gould Hall on April 26, 2011 in New York City. (Photo by Gilbert Carrasquillo/FilmMagic) *** Local Caption *** Star Jones;Marlee Matlin;Donald Trump;Meatloaf;John Rich;
Last night's "The Apprentice" was pre-empted for many viewers, and they missed a chance to see who would be getting the heave-ho.
Well, turns out, Hope is lost. Hope Dworzczyk, that is.
The Playboy model was fired by host Donald Trump, but not before getting a front seat to a heated exchanged between fellow firing line targets NeNe Leakes and Star Jones.
"I don't like people who aren't loyal, people who aren't trustworthy," shouted an irate Leakes. "I respect Star's desire to win, but low-down dirty backstabbing, I can't respect that."
She went on to add that "most people I run into don't like [Jones]."
The full episode of "Celebrity Apprentice" will be rerun in its entirety this Friday on CNBC and on Bravo this Saturday, if you want to catch all the shouting yourself.
You'll also get a second look at La Toya Jackson's successful bid to return to the competition on the men's side and Niki Taylor's cameo for Team Backbone.

By GARY POPP
SELLERSBURG — The home of an elderly Sellersburg couple was targeted by thieves posing as city employees earlier this month, police say.
Sellersburg police Chief Russ Whelan said a man wearing a yellow hard hat and carrying a two-way radio knocked on the front door of a home on West Utica Street about noon Feb. 1.
The 83-year-old homeowner allowed the man, who said he was with the city's water department, into his home after he was told the water pressure in the home needed to be checked.
Whelan said the unsuspecting homeowner and the man walked throughout the home checking water faucets on the first and second floors.
While a second suspect was never seen by the homeowner, who was home alone at the time of the incident, police believe at least one other person entered the home and stole approximately $20,000 in property while the initial intruder distracted the homeowner.
It was not until the intruder left the home that the homeowner realized he had been victimized by a burglar.
Whelan said a safe, coins and other items were stolen from the home.
The homeowner described the intruder as a Hispanic male who spoke English well and was very polite, Whelan said.
He said the intruder was in the home for nearly 20 minutes.
While in the home, the intruder spoke Spanish though his two-way radio, Whelan said.
Police believe the man could have been giving instructions to his partner when to enter and exit the home, unbeknownst to the homeowner.
The intruder was traveling in a white car, without any labeling, Whelan said.
The homeowner told police the man did not show any identification that he was a city employee.
Whelan stressed that all people should ask any service professional who comes to their home for proper identification before allowing that person into their home, especially, he said, if the person arrives unannounced.
"If they can't produce an ID, don't let them in the home and call the police," Whelan said.
He added that if a homeowner has any suspicions of someone wanting to come into a home, to call the company they claim to work for to verify the visit.
"If they are legit, they are not going to mind that you call to verify," Whelan said.
He said the extended time that the intruders were in the home and that they were equipped with radios shows they had likely committed similar burglaries in the past.
"They were very well prepared for what they were doing," Whelan said. "It is bad enough we have this type of crime, but when people are victimizing the elderly, it is very irritating for me."

When you want to get started on eBay there are things that you will need to do to insure that you will have the greatest amount of success. The first thing that you will want to do is create an account with eBay. To do so you will need to go to www.eBay.com and click on the register button. You will then have a form to fill out asking for name address and phone number. Towards the bottom of the page eBay will ask you to create a seller id. Don't be afraid that the name you pick doesn't reflect the product that you will be selling a year from today. The user ID is something that can be changed every 30 days.
Once you have your eBay account set up, the next step is to create you PayPal account. This is the preferred merchant account used by eBay. You will want to sign up for a premier account.

Completed listings show you what happens after auctions close. Completed listings show items with Red and Green prices. Red price means that the item closed with out a sale and a Green price means it has sold. You want to eyeball the first couple of pages and if it looks like at least 40% of the products old then this is a good product to sell. Once you know this is a good products to sell there are 4 ways to market the product. 1) Make sure your price is not higher then the average selling price of the product. 2) With the title you use common keyword phrases 3) Make your description is detailed enough to were a person doesn't have to ask for more questions about the product. 4) Make sure you products has images with it.
The last step is to list the item you have done the research on, remember that duplicating your competitors listings can be a great way to get an idea of how to create a listing.

Much of the text and a little of the musical material for Cecilia, volgi is taken from Splenda l'alba in oriente. As first composed the cantata consisted of two arias with introductory recitatives, all for Arrigoni's tenor voice, followed by a soprano recitative for Strada and the final duet. Obviously this was not a satisfactory structure from Strada's point of view, and so before performance Handel added another recitative for her and inserted the aria 'Sei cara, sei bella', the music of which was simply a slightly trimmed version of the aria 'Sweet accents' from the earlier abandoned addition. When the full score of Alexander's Feast was published by Walsh in 1738, Cecilia, volgi was printed in an appendix, together with an additional aria 'Sei del ciel', probably inserted for the mezzo-soprano castrato Domenico Annibali when the ode and the cantata were repeated in 1737. The first aria of the cantata is modestly accompanied with continuo alone, perhaps as a deliberate contrast to the powerful chorus 'The many rend the skies' that preceded it at the end of Part 1 of Alexander's Feast. It nevertheless tests the tenor voice with a highly elaborate vocal line. The next aria, based on the opening aria of Splenda l'alba in oriente and using the same text, has a lively triple-time rhythm, with an accompaniment of full strings. 'Sei cara', the soprano aria, has a variety of effects within itself. The main section is mostly in fast tempo, with a vocal line dominated by long, florid runs, but it is divided into two statements, each begun with the opening words set in a slow tempo, inviting additional vocal embellishment. In the middle section, originally composed as a reflection on the mysterious power of music, a new and unexpected mood of ravishing intensity is ushered in by a change to a minor key and the entry of the full strings. Shifting harmonies help to create a musical equivalent of the rapt, heavenward-gazing image of Cecilia found in many Renaissance paintings. The cantata closes in lighter style, with jaunty, syncopated rhythms bringing a sense of playfulness to the final duet. Handel's last cantata with orchestral accompaniment celebrates the joint themes of music and virtue with engaging warmth.

Mountaineer Morning Links - Seton Hall hangover, Orange Bowl reports galore, today's bowls and more
Prop bets for the college football junkie that just doesn't know when to say no.
The Georgia Tech Yellow Jackets will be playing the Air Force Academy Falcons in the Independence Bowl on December 27th.
I'm going to have to look that one up, because it's a new one on me; I don't even know where it's played, or what the corporate sponsor makes. Here's the kicker, though: it's a January 8 bowl game, making it the third-latest bowl game (behind only the Fight Hunger Bowl and, of course, the BCS National Championship Game). I'm still holding out hope for a Music City Bowl matchup with Clemson, but, failing that, I have to say that a January bowl game (with the accompanying practice time stretching into the new year) has a lot of appeal. Of course, first the Bulldogs have to get bowl eligible. First things first. Go 'Dawgs!

DURHAM — A fire that may have begun when a backpack lying against a radiator caught fire damaged one room in Brown Residence Hall on the schools East Campus and sent about 40 students to other rooms Thursday night.
Deputy Fire Chief Chris Iannuzzi said the fire was reported at 7:39, and firefighters had it out within 15 minutes of getting to the dorm at 1328 Campus Drive.
An article in Duke Today, the universitys news website, said an initial investigation attributed the fire to a backpack laying against a radiator and catching fire.
Iannuzzi said Friday, however, that fire department investigators had not concluded their investigation and determined the cause.
The Duke Today article said a student returned to Room 302 and found it on fire.
He quickly closed the room door, officials said, and helped prevent the fire from spreading.
Iannuzzi said firefighters found heavy smoke on the third floor when they went into the building.
Duke said in the news report that an inspection showed no structural damage to the building or water damage to other rooms.
Fans were set up to move air through the first and second floors to clear the smell of smoke, and students living there were allowed to return about 11:30 p.m., Duke reported.
"We are just thankful no one was hurt," Larry Moneta, vice president for Student Affairs, said. "We're grateful to the fire department for their incredibly quick and professional response and to everyone else who responded."

Hyundai Sonata Lease Questions
ken117 Posts: 189Typically that means you will lease a certain model at that monthly lease payment. However, in the small print it will likely show at lease inception you would pay the first months payment, plus tax, registration and other fees, such as the acquisition fee which can be hundreds and the dealer doc profit fee. Likely the cash payout will be more than $2,000.
Such ads are designed to get you to visit a dealer. The should be viewed with suspicion.
The lease cash is a cash amount paid by the OEM to reduce the amount of capitalized cost, which is the base cost of the lease without the fees and interest.
In my area (Twin Cities) some dealers offer "true zero" (or other such name) leasing, which means NOTHING up front, not even the first payment. So they roll that first payment, taxes (in MN you have to pay taxes up front, cannot be included in the monthly payments), license, fees into the costs of the lease and literally all you pay is the monthly payments starting with the 2nd one. I like that approach as it's very simple, and I got one of those deals last November on a 2013 GLS with Preferred Pkg. My monthly payments are only $47 because I traded in a 2007 Sonata GLS. But I've seen these kinds of deals advertised recently for as low as $225/month. YMMV of course. But IMO your dealer's offer of $255 + tax on a GLS with nothing up front is not a very good deal, given Hyundai is trying to move Sonatas.
Update: just saw a local offer for $229 on the GLS, 36 months, only first payment up front (taxes and fees included). Also saw an ad for $199/month for 39 months with 0 up front for a 2013 Altima 2.5S, and $220/month with 0 up front for 36 months on a Passat S automatic with Appearance Pkg. So there are deals to be had out there on little-to-nothing up front leases.
My lease is up in January. I didn't pay anything today. According to the paperwork its $134 taxes, title $185, dealer fee of $673
I signed paperwork, and they gave me keys. I am guessing they worked that fee into the monthly payments.
cost: 24,111
payments 13,394
35 payments of 10,432
anthony212 Posts: 13Ok guys here's what happened, my father went to go Millennium Hyundai in NY to lease a car. My father told me he wouldn't give out the exact breakdown, but he gave him a printed piece of paper from the dealership with all the pricing. Should he go for this deal or is there more room?
2013 Sonata 4D Sedan GLS Auto
Original MSRP $23140
Dealer Cost $22394
Selling Price $18396.69
Residual Value 59% $13652.60

Adjusted Resideual Value $14115.40
Rates .000950
Rebate $1500
Trade in $2300
36 Months @ $149.00
The thing that I didn't like is that he wanted to take the trade-in $2300 + another $1300 for taxes
upsidedown2011 Posts: 1CarMan, I need a little help very upside down in my 2011 sonata se turbo 101,000 miles. Buyout is $16,000.00
According to dealer they are giving me $10,ooo so I'm - $6,ooo
On a 2013 sonata base auto transmission
Looking at $425 a month 48 month lease with a total of $1,500 out of pocket
Seems like a horrible deal am I correct ?
Hi upsidedown2011. That's a lot of negative equity to bury. Is your current Sonata giving you any trouble? You would probably be better off waiting until you are less upside down to get something new.
I would be happy to evaluate the deal that you were quoted on the new Sonata, but it would be easier for me to do so if we separate the deals. What are the MSRP and selling price that you are being charged?
Prices Paid: Buying & Leasing Experiences Forum
straightdope Posts: 16CARMAN!
A couple of dealers here in SoCal told me that Hyundai doesn't offer a 10k mile/yr lease on a Sonata; 12k is the lowest. Is this accurate? They've got to be one of the only manufacturers who don't do ultra low mileage leases if this the case.
Please advise.
Thank you.
Our current lease ends in sept and its a 2010 Sonata GLS with 26k miles (very low mileage). Our dealer contacted us, and said we can end the lease early, and help us with a new purchase/lease of another vehicle. They offered first payment free 1st THREE months, monthly would be $199+ sales tax. No down, No security Deposit. I kept asking if there are other fees, and they kept saying NO. Not sure if they're playing games, but I thought there is acquisition fee, title fee, or other fee's that make up. But the guy insisted there are no other fees. Assuming that's true, is that a good deal ?
Our first time returning our lease vehicle (sonata gls). What do you they inspect ? What kind of excuses will they make to make you pay as "excessive wear and tear"? The interior of the car is so clean, there are no dents, maybe just some bird poop. However, there is a minor ding on the front window from a rock, that's hardly noticeable. Thinking about covering it up, so it looks like white bird poop.
Hyundai should send you information near lease end about wear and tear policies. If they don't, call Customer Service and ask for it.
Also ask them, if you get a lease on a new vehicle, if they will give you special consideration on wear and tear on the old car. Nissan offered me $500 towards any wear and tear charges on my 2010 Sentra if I were to lease a new car. Also offered to cover up to 4 payments, and gave me a real nice deal on a 2013 Sentra. I didn't take them up on it because I don't like the 2013 Sentra and no other Nissans interested me.
You could take the car in early to the dealer and see what they say about the windshield. If they'll charge you for it, and your insurance has 0 deductible glass coverage, you may want to fix the windshield before turning the car in.
What vehicle is Hyundai offering for $199/month + tax? If it's a 2013 Sonata GLS, that's a pretty good deal but not exceptional. If they are in fact going to make your first 3 payments for you, so you only have to make 33 payments, that is a very good deal.
Check the lease, I'll bet there's a disposition fee of some kind at the end of the lease if you don't purchase the car. It would be unusual to not have such a fee.
However, your 2010 Sonata might be worth more than its residual value, given the near-perfect condition and low miles. What's the residual on it?
anmc Posts: 2Hi,
I am 20 something and trying to buy my first car, and I need your help. I am thinking of leasing a GLS Sedan 2.4L 4-cyl. 6-speed Automatic. I am based out of Houston. Can anyone please give a ballpark estimate of

BY LAURIE MIHOLER- Special to the Record-Eagle
Traverse City Record-Eagle
---- — TRAVERSE CITY — A dwindling labor pool and challenging packaging costs are prompting several northern Michigan winemakers to utilize innovative technologies in their vineyards.
"When I came here 30 years ago, there was little mechanization," said Mark Johnson, winemaker at Chateau Chantel on Old Mission Peninsula. "Yet, most small farmers in Europe had it, even with as few as 10 or 20 acres."
Wineries like Chateau Chantel, Good Harbor Vineyards, L. Mawby Vineyards and others are increasingly turning to machines and new packaging technologies to find efficiencies. In many cases, machines pulled by tractors are doing the work that, in the past, was done by humans. Examples include pre-pruners for trimming, shoot positioners, leaf pullers and hedgers. The use of the machines is a relatively recent development in the United States, the winemakers said.
Sam Simpson, who co-owns Good Harbor Vineyards in Leelanau County with sibling Taylor, is a recent convert to the new equipment. Last year they rented the equipment from Chateau Chantel. This year, they've not only purchased their own, but have also set up an agriculture management program allowing them to use their equipment on other vineyards and hop yards.
"Currently, we're only running equipment on small vineyards who are using our full management services," Simpson said. "It's a way for us to make use of the equipment."
"It's also a significant cost savings," he said. "None of our clients will ever want to go back."
Migrant workers are still a main source of labor for much of the work in the vineyards but that pool has shrunk for many reasons, said Johnson. One primary reason is the uncertainty of immigration legislation. Another is the increased demand for labor from more and more vineyards, Simpson said.
Both Johnson and Simpson agree the use of machinery has not caused layoffs.
"We still hire the same amount of people," Sam Simpson said.
"We've just tripled our acreage," Taylor Simpson said. "The equipment has not cut labor, it's expanded it. Our people are busy."
Johnson said some $8 an hour jobs were eliminated but better paying jobs were also created because the winery needs employees who understand the equipment.
Sam Simpson said the same.
"It's a learning curve for workers," he said. "We have to train laborers to be more specialized."
"We were able to purchase the equipment initially with funds from a national grant for innovation in agriculture," Johnson said.
The machinery at Chateau Chantel was purchased through grants requiring the winery to give demonstrations and share the equipment with other growers in the area. Other vineyards thus had the opportunity to try out the machines.
The industry is also seeing lots of innovation in products such as filters, pumps, presses and kegged wines. Both Good Harbor and L. Mawby Vineyards are leading the charge on kegged wines -- the kegs used by the two wineries, Key Kegs, are constructed with aluminum, plastic, and cardboard and are 100 percent recyclable.
The air and Co2 never come in contact with the wine, which keeps it fresh longer, said Taylor Simpson.
"You don't have to worry about consistency and quality once the keg gets tapped and hooked up to the draft system," she said. "The wine will stay fresh for up to six months."
That's good news for Rick Wanroy, owner of the Cove restaurant in Leland, who is a big proponent of eliminating waste and improving his restaurant's green footprint.
"There's a huge amount of waste with wine," Wanroy said. "First, you've got the bottles that are made and shipped from Mexico. Then you've got corks, you've got labels, you've got cardboard boxes."
Using the kegs has cut down on the Cove's waste dramatically.
"It has removed the equivalent of over 1,000 bottles out of the trash," Wanroy said, "One keg holds about 40 bottles of wine."
L. Mawby Vineyards was the first area winery to begin kegging wine and has put wines from their M. Lawrence collection into kegs. The Cove curr has kegs of two of their most popular wines, Fishtown White and their own, private label Pinot Grigo, both from Good Harbor.

As you all have noticed, I'm selling the tall n big ones but still have a lot of love for Polks.
Just last week when I got 12's, I was asking how they compare with 10's.
Funny how monitor 10A's turned up today for me to compare them.
Terminal caps are missing and one cabinet has small veneer damage on top corner but otherwise excellent condition.
Got them from original owner who looked for original receipt/paperwork but couldn't find them.
These are the darker cherry color unlike my 12's that are in oak.
Also, I have perfect 9" tall stands for them. :)
Now I have a pair of 7A and 10A with peerless and 12's with SL2500 in monitor series.
I also have some 4's but they are just filling surrounds for now.
Except Monitor 11 and few weird monitors, I have had all monitor series now.
Fun fun fun...

Under Ground: How Creatures of Mud and Dirt Shape Our World
Yvonne Baskin
pages, hardcover: $26.95
Island Press, 2005.
Yvonne Baskin, a science writer, takes us on an intriguing tour of
the planet's soils and sediments. Did you know, for example,
that because earthworms aren't native to much of North
America, fishermen should dump leftover bait in the trash rather
than on the ground? Baskin also helps sort out age-old arguments,
such as whether grazing is good for soil and plant life (short
answer: depends on the land being grazed).

Oakley's Terenzo Bozzone Dominates In Maryland
Oakley's former Ironman 70.3 world champion Terenzo Bozzone of New Zealand dominated the Eagleman Half Ironman in Maryland last weekend. Bozzone posted the fastest run split of the day, finishing 1 minute and 34 seconds ahead of James Cotter, who placed second, to take the overall title. Oakley's Andrew Yoder took third while Oakley's Samantha McGlone of Canada crossed the line in 4:25:22 to take second in the women's event.
Bozzone was not in the lead during the bike and swim. During the run, he made up for lost time. The Kiwi ran a 1:19:34 half marathon, taking the win at 3:58:17.
In women's, Sam Warriner won and former Ironman 70.3 world champion McGlone took second. McGlone looked like she might challenge Warriner, on the bike, but never made it to the front. Oakley's six-time Kona champ, Natascha Badmann finished sixth overall.

DURHAM — Mike Fox didnt remember using the word mojo earlier in the week when he described what he hoped his North Carolina baseball team would regain in the ACC tournament, and upon hearing the word on Thursday he professed not to know its meaning.
Did I say that word, really? Fox said. I dont know what that means.
Whatever the definition, the Tar Heels during their 10-0 victory against Miami did indeed regain something thatd gone missing recently. UNCs victory in its first game of the ACC Baseball Championship ended in the eighth inning after UNC first baseman Cody Stubbs drove in the Heels 10th run, prompting the tournaments 10-run mercy rule that goes into effect after the seventh inning of all tournament games except the final on Sunday.
UNC, ranked No. 1 nationally throughout much of the season, arrived at the Durham Bulls Athletic Park amid its most disappointing stretch of the season. The Tar Heels (49-8) ended the season with a 4-3 victory against Florida State, but that came after back-to-back series losses against Georgia Tech and Virginia.
Earlier in the week, Fox said he hoped his team would get a little bit of our mojo back during the ACC tournament. The dominant performance against the Hurricanes (35-22) couldnt have hurt.
The victory was UNCs first shutout against a conference opponent since mid-April, and the Heels 10 runs were their most against a conference opponent since their 10-1 victory against Duke on April 21. Stubbs, who finished 4-for-5 with three RBIs, led UNCs offense while junior left-hander Kent Emanuel kept Miami scoreless.
They were in total swing mode the whole day, Emanuel said. And even if I made bad pitches, it seemed like they would swing and get themselves out. And as the game went on, I just basically had to keep it on the edges and they were going to pop out and ground out.
Emanuel pitched all eight innings, allowed just four hits and helped his cause with one of the best defensive plays of the game. The Hurricanes had a runner on third and two out in the second when Garrett Kennedy hit a sharp line drive up the middle that Emanuel knocked down with his glove before throwing to first to end the threat.
That play followed a rare 3-6-1 double play after Miami had two runners on with nobody out.
We worked on that I dont know how many times the other day, Fox said. We had a lot of those (opportunities). And thats probably the first one weve gotten all year.
UNC already led 3-0 when the Hurricanes threatened in the second. After that, though, Miami failed to generate scoring chances. The Heels added to their lead.
They scored two runs in the third and two more in the sixth and seventh innings before Stubbs came through with the game-ending hit in the eighth. When Stubbs came to bat then, he said he was aware of the stakes that with a hit he could drive home Colin Moran and end the game.
Oh, I knew, Stubbs said with a smile. I was well aware.
Stubbs four hits led the Heels, who mustered just five hits and one run in mid-March against Miami starter Andrew Suarez. This time, he allowed 11 hits and seven runs before leaving the game in the sixth inning. In addition to Stubbs four hits, Brian Holberton and Skye Bolt had three apiece for UNC, which outhit Miami 18-4.
Holbertons two-out single in the first drove in two runs and gave UNC its early 3-0 lead. Fox pointed to that moment, and his teams defense in the next half-inning, as the turning points. Emanuel wasnt overpowering he didnt record a strikeout but Miami made no adjustments at the plate, Canes coach Jim Morris said.
The Tar Heels adjusted.
Our kids were ready, Fox said. I challenged them before the game, because its been pretty obvious the teams that have played here and so far won in this tournament have really looked like theyve been ready to play, and locked in.

CHAPEL HILL — Family, friends and supporters of the North Carolina baseball team braved the rain on Saturday to welcome the Tar Heels back to campus on Saturday.
The team arrived back in Chapel Hill one day after being knocked out of the College World Series by UCLA. North Carolina won two games and lost two games in Omaha, Neb.
Despite the rain and the team's arrival time being pushed back, about 100 people came to Boshamer Stadium to welcome the team home. Players and coaches took pictures and signed autographs for supporters. The players, all dressed in Carolina blue polo shirts, exited the team bus with smiles on their faces as fans cheered to show support for their team.
"I wanted to come out and show my support for these guys," North Carolina fan Bill Kingston said. "They've worked so hard and we appreciate what they've done for this university and this community."
Pete Lewis brought his son, Alex, to the event who had a baseball signed by head coach Mike Fox and outfielder Skye Bolt.
"I can tell it means a lot to these players," Lewis said. "This is a great sendoff for players like Colin (Moran) and (Cody) Stubbs and all the seniors. Even though it's raining, we wanted to be here to send them out the right way."
This was North Carolina's tenth trip to the College World Series, and sixth in eight seasons. The team lost its opening game to rival N.C. State, won its next two against LSU and N.C. State, before being knocked out by UCLA on Friday night.
North Carolina, the No. 1 overall seed in the tournament, was the last remaining ACC team in the tournament, and set a school record for wins in a season with 59.
"The levels this program has risen is extraordinary," Kingston said. "This team never gave up all season. They had their backs against the wall so many times and fought back. I'm so happy to see so much Carolina blue out here to congratulate these men on a job well done."

News and notes on the restaurant scene from dining critic Carol Deptolla
Make other plans: Jerry's in Germantown, Angelo's in Falls
At Jerry's Ribs and Chophouse in Germantown (formerly Jerry's Old Town Inn), the phone line has been temporarily disconnected, according to the recording. For at least a month previously, a phone message said owners Kerry and Teri Turner were on vacation and were planning maintenance and upgrades for the restaurant.
The liquor license, however, has not been renewed, according to the village clerk's office.The restaurant's website this year was soliciting investors for the business.
Jerry's, at N116-W15841 Main St., and the Von Rothenburg Bier Stube next door were purchased by the Turners about nine years ago. Jerry's first opened in the late 1970s, according to Journal Sentinel files.
In Menomonee Falls, Angelo's Café Vino, a café-wine bar that also had live music and sold some groceries, has closed at N88-W16521 Main St.
Angelo Petropoulos opened it in spring 2010. He cited an uncertain economy and health concerns.
"We were at a crossroads," he said, and decided to close. He hasn't ruled out opening another venture in the future, though. "I'm very proud of what we did."

Ensatina eschscholtzii klauberi
The name Ensatina comes from the Latin ensatus, meaning sword-shaped, while eschscholtzii is in honor of F. Eschscholtz, a German zoologist. The subspecific name klauberi is in honor of Laurence M. Klauber, a famous herpetologist from San Diego.
Ensatinas are medium-sized salamanders, ranging from 2-3 inches snout-vent length. They have a stout body with relatively long legs. They have smooth skin, 12-13 costal grooves, and the base of the tail is strongly constricted.
The color pattern of Ensatinas is highly polymorphic through their range. The Large-blotched Ensatina has a black ground color with orange, yellowish, or pink blotches. The blotches can sometimes fuse together to form bars or bands. Some individuals have been found with larger blotches which are connected together.
This species has no larval stage and the young are miniatures of the adult form.
Subspecies: There are seven subspecies of Ensatinas; two occur within our region. The Large-blotched Salamander (E. e. klauberi) and Monterey Salamander (E. e. eschscholtzii) can be readily distinguished from one another based on color pattern.
Range and Habitat
This species occurs in southern California from the San Jacinto Mountains to northern Baja California. Its occurrence in Baja California was often suspect, but its recent discovery in the Sierra San Pedro Mártir has put these doubts to rest.
This species enjoys deciduous and evergreen forests. It can be found under rotting logs, bark, and rocks. To the south, it frequents forests and well shaded canyons, as well as oak woodland and chaparral.
Natural History
The Large-blotched Ensatina is a fully terrestrial species and does not need to return to water to breed. Ensatinas are relatively long lived salamanders, some reaching 14-16 years of age. As with all plethodontid salamanders, reproductive rates are slow, producing small clutches of eggs and reaching sexual maturity at between 3-5 years of age. The color pattern of the Large-blotched Ensatina is thought to be cryptic and used for camouflage.
Behavior: Ensatinas remain beneath the ground in the dry summer months, and emerge with the rains of autumn, winter and spring. In the Sierra San Pedro Mártir, it emerges with the monsoonal rains which begin around August. Adults tend to be more active during the day compared to other Plethodontid salamanders. Studies suggest that Ensatina salamanders are territorial outside the breeding season, fending off intruders of the same species.
Diet: Enstainas eat a wide variety of foods, including mites, spiders, sowbugs, beetles, slugs and snails. Large-blotched Ensatinas will emerge to forage after rains, or stay hidden in moist debris and wait for prey to pass by.
Breeding: Breeding usually occurs from November to March. After several hours of elaborate courtship, the male deposits a spermatophore which is then picked up by the females cloaca and used to fertilize her eggs. In late spring, females from southern populations will lay a single cluster of about 8 eggs. Eggs are deposited underground, beneath bark or within rotting logs. After 4-5 months the eggs hatch and fully developed young emerge. These miniature salamanders are about an inch long (20-26mm SVL).
Conservation Status
The Large-blotched Ensatina is currently a Federal Special Concern species (FSC) and as a California Special Concern species (DFG-CSC).

I love Brett, but the Cubs pretty much have to say this stuff about him, it doesn't really mean anything until we see that it's real and that it's working.
That being said, Brett's problems are almost completely mechanical, so he is the type of guy who much more conceivably could make drastic improvements to his K-rate, as opposed to someone like Lake where it's more of a plate discipline issue.
Corey Patterson 2.0.
Well, they are both LH CFers who played for the Cubs. That's about as far as the similarities go.

Do you guys think after they speak highly of player to the media, the FO and coaches all go into closed rooms and just talk **** about a player?
I can imagine quotes of "Jackson ****ing sucks, or Vitters? I'd rather have my dentist playing 3rd base than him".
I totally think they do that.
I still hope Jackson starts in CF. Everyone is looking for low risk, high reward players to sign to increase the Cubs player value moving forward. There obviously isn't anyone with lower risk than a pre arb prospect already on the team, and I doubt you can find anyone whose ceiling offers more excess value beyond 2013 than Jackson who will have 5 years of control left. Even if he's only a 2-3 win player, that still has significant value at his pay rate.
If the Cubs don't plan on aggressively competing next season, I don't see anyone I'd rather have in center than Jackson.

Pennsylvania Governor Corbett unveiled a plan to outsource the management of the Pennsylvania Lottery to a privately owned corporation based in the United Kingdom.
Proceeds from the Pennsylvania Lottery go to Senior Citizen programs throughout the state. Lottery revenue is used to fund programs like free transit, rent and property tax rebates, senior centers and prescription drug assistance programs.
Camelot Group, the company which runs the national lottery in the U.K. and hopes to run the Pennsylvania Lottery, has begun to expand to overseas markets. In fact, there are three companies that have been actively bidding to run state lotteries in the U.S.: GTECH (in partnership with Scientific Games of N.Y.); Camelot; and a Greek company Intralot. GTECH also a front runner to run the N.J. Lottery, is currently running games in Illinois and Indiana. Intralot is running the lottery in Idaho.
The partnership of Camelot Group with the United Kingdom is not always that smooth either. Camelot has been known to appeal adverse decisions against it to higher courts. It appealed the initial decision that it not be given the U.K. franchise.
Unlike the present arrangement where lottery profits go to the state, Camelot is a privately owned company. That means that some of the profits of the Pennsylvania Lottery would be distributed to private citizens as profits. At the current time, the Ontario Canada Teachers' Pension Plan owns the Camelot Group. Therefore, some of the Pennsylvania Lottery proceeds would be used to support Canadian Seniors in Ontario.
As you might expect, and as reported in other Patch News publications, Corbett's plan has generated controversy among other politicians, the union representing Pennsylvania employees who will be laid off if the lottery is privatized, and private citizens who want the issue put for a vote by the Pennsylvania Legislature before it's implementation.
How do you feel about the issue? Would you play the Pennsylvania Lottery more if it were better run? Are you against outsourcing of some state operations to foreign companies as a matter of principle? How much more do you spend on other forms of gambling (such as Casino gambling or horse racing or card games) than the Pa. Lottery, and why?
Let us know.

Houston Texans Impact pick: Brandon Brooks (third) -- Brooks is an absolute mauler with impressive strength and surprising mobility for his size. He needs to become a consistent worker and keep his considerable weight in check, but assuming he stays in shape, Brooks can win the job at left guard and offer an immediate upgrade there. Indianapolis Colts Intriguing pick: LaVon Brazill (sixth) -- Brazill flew under the radar in 2011, but he has good suddenness and quickness, has the body control to make tough catches, is willing to work the middle and is also a special teams contributor. He'll also benefit from getting in on the ground floor with Luck. Colts GM Ryan Grigson did a great job bringing in pass-catchers who can work with and grow alongside Luck from Day 1. Ball security could be an issue for Brazill, but if he cleans that up, he should be a solid value pick.http://insider.espn.go.com/nfl/draft2012/story/_/id/7866443/2012-nfl-draft-most-impactful-intriguing-picks-afc

How hard can it be?One of many gems in Zac Jackson's column on Charlie Coles, who was referring to Jon Harris trying to get in position to rebound. It's a great column but what really demonstrates the value of Coles in the MAC and college basketball is that even though Miami as a sports franchise may not be revered, damn near everybody in the conference loves and respects this man. And I'm pretty sure they'd pay good money to listen to him talk about basketball at great lengths. I certainly do hope he has much left "in the tank."
Look, the MAC is a fine conference and it is hard enough to win these games on merit. It's impossible to do so when the field is tilted so heavily in the direction of the old-line MAC teams against the newcomer. I don't care if it's the Big East or Conference USA, the time to get out of this hick conference is now.Temple Football Forever

'How I Met Your Mother' Season 8: 5 Spoilers You Need To Know
September 4th, 2012 1:00pm EDT
"How I Met Your Mother" is hands-down one of my favorite shows. I own all of the seasons on DVD, and still have about 35 episodes saved on DVR. So it pains me to say that season 7's finale was a little underwhelming as we saw Barney prepare to marry Robin instead of the fabulous Quinn (played by the even more fabulous Becki Newton) and Ted (Josh Radnor) motor off into the sunset with The One Who Got Away, Victoria, on her wedding day. Nevertheless, Marshall and Lily finally brought little Marvin into the world, and the show seemed to be inching closer to revealing the elusive mother. The new season begins on Sept. 24, so here are five spoilers you need to know…
Season 10?! There have been rumors that season 8 could be the end of this hilarious sitcom, and with contract negotiations currently underway, the writers are preparing for all outcomes. It's understandable as Jason Segel ("The Five-Year Engagement") and Cobie Smulders ("The Avengers") have nurtured movie careers that are poised to take off. The brilliant Neil Patrick Harris has earned Emmys as both a guest star on "Glee" and a host of The Tony Awards. Alyson Hannigan has expanded her family with the birth of her second child, Keeva, last May.
According to a TVGuide.com interview, creator Craig Thomas is confident about season 9 and possibly even a season 10. "A lot of my favorite all-time shows went 10 seasons. We tell a different kind of story than say, like, Cheers. Do I think we can keep the show strong for 10 seasons? I think we could, but I have no idea if we could possibly go that far," Thomas said.
It's a 'crazy' family affair. Chris Elliott has played Lily's hapless and meddling father for many seasons, and now his real-life daughter, "SNL" alum Abby is following in her daddio's footsteps. TVLine.com reports that she will play the "craziest" girl in the HIMYM-verse thus far, and someone in the group will find her escalating insanity irresistibly hot. Does anyone think isn't Barney? Nope, didn't think so.
MacLaren's is about to get Blood-y sexy. "Fairly Legal's" Michael Trucco and "True Blood's" Joe Manganiello are both reprising their roles as Robin's crush and Marshall's law school buddy respectively, TVLine.com reports. Trucco's unnamed character will return to strike up a romance with Robin (Colbie Smulders). The premise surrounding Manganiello's two-episode arc is unclear. I don't really care what the "Magic Mike" star will be up to as long he's shirtless.
The season premiere will end not with a bang, but a "gasp." TVGuide.com reports that the season premiere would contain a huge moment that will leave viewers gasping at their televisions. The details on this moment are heavily guarded, but it apparently happens in the flash-forward to Barney and Robin's wedding and will give viewers more Mother-centric information than ever before. As long as it doesn't involve a goat or a yellow umbrella, I'm game!
Ted and Victoria won't live happily ever after. We actually know enough about the mother to deduce that it isn't (SPOILER ALERT!) the uber-wholesome baker-turned-runaway bride, Victoria. Nevertheless, she and Ted motored off into the sunset, leaving her would-be husband at the altar. According to BuddyTV.com, this relationship and its inevitable end is exactly the closure Ted needs to finally open himself up to meet his future life partner, which will happen this season. After eight years of build-up, the mother better be legen—wait-for-it—dary!
Who do you think Barney should marry? What kind of parents do you think Marshall and Lily will be? Who do you want to play the mysterious mother? Hit up the comments section below!

After three Trenton school administrators participate in an internship program beginning in February, one will be named .
Only current administrators working within the district were considered by the district's Board of Education. Of 16 potential candidates, three were selected as finalists:
- Vince Porreca, principal at ;
- Stephanie O'Connor, principal at ;
- and Rodney Wakeham, assistant principal at
Each intern will learn the job of superintendent and work as an acting superintendent for about a week throughout the internship, while continuing to perform in their current positions.
They will learn everything from budgeting and staffing to funding and bond issues. They also will learn how to handle an angry parent or community member, among several other real-life situations superintendents face.
The position became available after Superintendent John Savel announced his retirement, effective June 30, 2011.
Savel did what many public school employees did when Gov. Jennifer Granholm offered retirement incentives last school year in an effort to save the state money. After 38 years in education, he said, it was time to retire.
"The timing seemed to be right," Savel said.
Some of his achievements as superintendent, he said, included a complete overhaul of board policies, publishing those policies on the district's website, developing a curriculum review policy and committee, getting a school bond passed by voters, and operating a transparent administration that involved many in the community.
Former Superintendent Larry Leapley will serve as interim superintendent until a permanent replacement is chosen. Leapley also will lead the internship program and will work directly with the three candidates.

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE: Sept. 7, 2005
City remains on standby to receive hurricane evacuees
Kansas City, Mo., Emergency Manager D.A. Christian has been notified by the Federal Emergency Management Agency that plans to transfer evacuees from Texas to other states have been put on hold at present. FEMA advised that recent assessments have determined that many of the victims prefer to remain in the Texas region as they resolve issues concerning the status of property, employment and the safety of loved ones.
Christian said, however, that additional transfers from New Orleans will continue and that the City is standing by to implement a mass care plan if needed. The City will remain on standby until it is notified directly by FEMA to prepare for arrivals. Meanwhile, the American Red Cross service center at the Gregg-Klice Community Center reports a steady stream of victims who have self-evacuated to the Kansas City area.
By close of business Tuesday, the Red Cross had processed about 330 families at the service center since it opened Sept. 3. Most of the victims are staying with family and friends in the area. The Red Cross is providing basic support at the service center, including food, medicine, and other essential items.
The City's Emergency Operations Center has been activated at Level I 24 hours-a-day since Sept. 2, to coordinate the City's hurricane relief efforts. The Missouri State Emergency Management Agency has sent its area coordinator to the City's Emergency Operations Center to coordinate regional response operations. In other recent efforts:
Employees in the Health Department's Communicable Disease Prevention and Public Health Preparedness Division are providing assistance with immunizations and volunteer coordination at the Gregg-Klice Community Center. The Health Department has sent alerts to local hospitals and clinics explaining the potential issues that hurricane survivors might face, and has issued a health advisory on illness prevention precautions. The Health Department also is standing by to provide public health assistance to the Gulf Coast area.
The Kansas City Fire Department has dispatched additional firefighters to the Gulf Coast to serve on teams for FEMA community outreach.
The City's Housing Development Division of the City Planning and Development Department is providing referrals to the City's housing service counseling providers. The division also is evaluating the City's housing partners' available housing stock to identify potential long-term housing for hurricane victims. In addition, the division is planning activities for utilization of Housing Choice Vouchers and Tenant Based Rental Assistance which could help those in need of permanent housing. The division also is participating in Mayor Kay Barnes' plan to provide a minimum of 250 housing units in the Kansas City area beyond transitional housing or emergency shelters.
The Human Resources Department is determining the number of vacant positions throughout the City for hurricane victims who might wish to seek employment. In addition, the Human Resources Department is working with hurricane relief partners such as the Red Cross to facilitate the intake of application materials, evaluation of information, and job matching.
The Information Technology Department worked with the Kansas City, Mo., Public Library to extend the hours of the recently installed Internet area in the Gregg-Klice Community Center. This cooperative program provides free Internet access for the public. The hours were extended Sunday to allow victims access to the Internet to try to contact family members. The department also is working with SBC to install two additional telephone lines and four workstations for use by Red Cross staff in the Gregg-Klice Community Center gymnasium.
The Parks and Recreation Department is working with the Kansas City Area Transportation Authority to provide bus vouchers for the victims. The Parks and Recreation Department and the transit authority are coordinating with the Greater Kansas City Chamber of Commerce to assist with other transportation needs. The Parks and Recreation Department also is providing victims with free 30-day passes to use at any of the City's 10 community and/or recreation center facilities for exercise and recreational activities.
Hurricane victims also should contact FEMA for assistance at (800) 621-FEMA (3362).

Staff-recommended reading from the
KPL catalog.
The proposal to eliminate personal property tax in our state has been well covered in the media. Most of the articles or opinion pieces have not mentioned however, that personal property tax is a critical source of local library funding.
If personal property tax is eliminated and not fully replaced, KPL will lose about $1.2 million or about 10% of our revenue. Some Michigan public libraries depend on this tax for up to 50% of their funding.
KPL has not yet determined the exact reductions we would make to accommodate a revenue loss of this magnitude. Certainly we would reduce staffing, programming, and materials purchases but we would likely also be forced to eliminate entire services, reduce hours, and perhaps close branches.
The library community is advocating to "replace, don't erase" the personal property tax. If it is eliminated, it needs to be fully replaced by a guaranteed, stable source of funding for all libraries.
Please ask your legislators to fully replace the personal property tax, consider writing a letter to the editor, and share this library threat with other in our community.

As I have often written, "reading, viewing, and listening for pleasure" is one of our priorities. Many services to readers are described on our website... ...Book My Favorites, eBooks, New Fiction, New Nonfiction, Hot Picks, Book Club in a Bag for book groups, and others. We now have a new one—Now Read This for personalized reading recommendations from our staff.
We are available to suggest titles that match your reading interests.

Within 7 business days, our staff will email you a list of 5 recommendations based on your interests. If you aren't happy with those recommendations, we'll try again!
Staff members haven't read every book in our collection but we are familiar with most of them, we read lots of reviews, and we talk about what we have read among ourselves and with patrons.
We hope you use and enjoy this new service for readers. Let me know with a comment on this blog or email to firstname.lastname@example.com
We all need friends and KPL is fortunate to have very good ones….Friends of the Kalamazoo Public Library….and this is the week to recognize them.
October 16 – 22 is "National Friends of Libraries Week." The description encourages "library lovers everywhere to join their local friends of the library group." I would add to that, in the case of KPL friends, shop their bookstore on the lower level of Central Library to show your support too.
The Friends of KPL contribute $50,000 - $60,000 per year to the library, all from the proceeds from their bookstore. That represents a lot of books….most are priced from 50¢ to $2.50. As their slogan states…."gently used books, gently priced." Our community is generous in donating books to the Friends for them to sell to benefit the library.
The Friends contribution funds our summer reading games for all ages and provides support for some signature ongoing programs: Global Reading Challenge, Reading Together, and concerts among others.
Happy "Friends of Libraries Week." They would welcome you as member.
The Historical Society of Michigan presented its 2011 State History Awards at their recent 137th annual meeting and conference. I'm pleased to report that KPL won the award in the "newsletters and websites" category for the local history section of our website "All About Kalamazoo History." The announcement described the 600 interconnected web pages covering more than 20 categories with basic as well as detailed information. It was cited as "an invaluable resource for researchers ranging from middle school students competing in history day to genealogists." Of course we are pleased to receive this recognition but even more importantly, we are pleased and hopeful that the announcement of this award and the accompanying publicity, will prompt even more use of the resources our staff has created. I congratulate and thank our local history and website staff for their work and foresight in developing the local history section of the KPL website. I'm confident you will find something of interest there even if you don't consider yourself a genealogist or a local history enthusiast.
