Avon Lake Municipal Court Judge Darrel Bilancini sentenced Brecksville resident Anthony (A.J.) Rose Jr. to the maximum 90 days in jail, but suspended 85 of those days, at Rose's sentencing today in an accident that claimed an Avon construction workers life.
Bilancini's sentence came following comments by an emotional Rose.
"One week ago today, I buried my father," Rose, who works at A.J. Rose Manufacturing in Avon, said. "So I know what it's like to lose a parent."
"To the family of the deceased, all I can say is 'I'm sorry,'" Rose said. "'I'm sorry' doesn't begin to express the deep sorrow I have for the deceased's family. "'I'm sorry' doesn't change the outcome of this accident. The words 'I'm sorry' ring hollow, but they're the only words I have you're honor."
at the Nagel Road interchange project involved two vehicles. An investigation determined that both cars involved in the accident were traveling at the posted speed limit of 65.
Rose was driving a 2006 Jeep Liberty. Nathan Reese, 34, of Avon was driving a 2008 Honda Odyssey that was also involved in the accident. No charges have been filed against Reese.
The investigation showed that Reese slowed down, but Rose did not. Both cars veered toward the left with Rose's car veering off the road and striking construction worker Peter Magklis, 63, a construction worker from Campbell, OH. Magklis' leg was amputated in the accident and he was pronounced dead soon after at Avon Emergency Care Center.
Rose, entered a plea of "no contest" at the Feb. 12 sentencing in Avon Lake Municipal Court.
During sentencing Bilancini said he understood signage indicated the speed limit posted was 65. There were signs posted for 55 mph, but the signs were inside the required one-mile limit.
Avon Police Sgt. Robert Olds, who was a responding officer and in charge of the investigation said that following the accident Rose expressed "deep remorse."
"At the scene of accident he was emotional," Olds said.
After the accident, Rose contacted Olds to express concern over the safety zone, saying he was looking for ways to improve safety for other construction zones.
"My understanding is the signage wasn't reduced in the construction zone; it was still 65 mph," Bilancini said. "In retrospective, it does not appear to be appropriate signage."
Olds agreed. "I agree with you there," he said. "I don't agree with the speed."
"You're guilty of assured clear distance and unfortunately, because of that, someone died," BIlancini told Rose.
A letter from a social worker Rose has been working with for two years over other personal issues said that following the accident the defendant had expressed "deeply profound remorse and devastation" over the incident.
"He suffers almost daily from flashbacks," the letter said. "He will never see himself the same way again."
Rose said he has been trying to process the accident and search for some peace.
The investigation also showed Rose was not on his cell phone or texting during the incident and neither alcohol nor drugs were a factor.
Following the sentencing a soft-spoken Rose said he wants to do what's necessary, either by contacting Sen. Sherrod Brown's office or state politicians to assure the speed limit in construction zones are reduced.
"I am not blaming anyone; I am not saying it was ODOT's fault," Rose said. "I'm responsible, I have no one to blame but myself. But if legislation was changed and could save one life…
"The (posted) speed limit… it's just too fast."
Rose was also sentenced to the maximum of 200 hours community service, fined $750 and had his license revoked for one year, with work privileges.

I always thought that oil would be the next precious natural resource to run out — due to overconsumption — and cause a global crisis. Oil, or possibly Naugahyde.
Sadly, I was very wrong. The real dwindling resource soon to affect the planet is far more insidious, far more impactful. Oil can be replaced by wind power, solar power, nuclear power, horse (and buggy) power.
The loss of bacon, however, would cripple society as we know it.
Who wants to eat a lettuce and tomato sandwich?
Last week, Britain's National Pig Association issued a dire warning for 2013: A global bacon shortage is coming, and it's unavoidable.
The official reason is that droughts have affected corn crops, which makes feed more expensive for farmers, who in turn have been forced to go with smaller herds. I always believed that pigs ate something called "slop," made from the portion of school lunches thrown away by students every day, but it turns out they eat corn. Huh.
I fear that the real reason, though, is that Americans in the 21st century demand to have bacon on everything. No longer is it saved for breakfast, special burgers and the occasional quiche. Now it is in candy, ice cream, milkshakes, mayonnaise, popcorn, coleslaw. Virtually any food item can, and is, wrapped in bacon. Those that can't are shot with bacon flavor — some restaurants will even let you order bacon infused with extra bacon flavor.
Not that I blame my fellow citizens for their weakness; everything, indeed, tastes better with bacon. It is a testament to bacon's scrumptiousness that its popularity has risen against the vociferous recommendations of all accredited physicians.
Understanding the problem, however, doesn't make it go away.
Now, before you rush out to the store and begin stocking up on bacon, I'd like you to relax for a moment. Sit down, stop hyperventilating, maybe watch "Babe: Pig in the City," to remind you of the days when pigs were plentiful and ran free.

The last time West Virginia and Oklahoma met on the football field, the Mountaineers turned one of the program's darkest moments into one of its best.
Head coach Dana Holgorsen is hoping history will repeat itself today when the No. 13 Sooners (7-2, 5-1 Big 12) make their first-ever visit to Milan Puskar Stadium to take on his Mountaineers (5-4, 2-4 Big 12) in a 7 p.m. showdown that will air live on FOX.
That last meeting came on Jan. 2, 2008, in Glendale, Ariz., at the Tostitos Fiesta Bowl. Big East champion WVU was a decided underdog in that contest, and fans were hurting after the Mountaineers fell 13-9 to a sub-.500 Pitt team in the regular season finale. That loss kept WVU out of the BCS title game, and days later head coach Rich Rodriguez — a Mountain State native and a former WVU defensive back — poured salt in that wound when he left his alma mater to become the head coach at Michigan.
The Mountaineer program, which was on top of the world a couple weeks earlier, was down in the dumps, and analysts everywhere were picking the Big 12 champion Sooners to win in a blowout.
From the moment WVU's players walked out of the tunnel holding hands, with interim head coach Bill Stewart leading the way, it was clear that wasn't going to be the case.
The Mountaineers jumped out to a 13-3 lead, led 20-6 at halftime and, after Oklahoma pulled within five points in the second half, ran away late to win 48-28 behind the play of quarterback Pat White, running back Noel Devine and fullback Owen Schmitt.
After the game — as the Pride of West Virginia played "Take Me Home, Country Roads" and Schmitt teared up like a baseball fan watching "Field of Dreams" while talking to the FOX television crew about his love for the state and the program — it was clear that the Mountaineers were once again on top.
The current state of the WVU football program feels ironically similar to the days leading up to that last clash with OU. This time, WVU didn't lose its opportunity for a national title with one bad night in Morgantown, but instead came crashing down from a 5-0 start and a No. 5 national ranking with a four-game losing skid.
Holgorsen isn't planning a nighttime escape for The Big House, but he is being questioned about what's happened to his once-unstoppable offense and why players like Travares Copeland and Ivan McCartney have left the team.
As it was more than four years ago in the desert, WVU is desperate for a big win.
"They're a great team, and it could really turn our season around if we get a win against a top team in Morgantown and boost the morale of the team," said junior linebacker Doug Rigg of the matchup with the Sooners. "Not many people on this team have gone through a four-game losing streak. Just getting a win, especially against a great team, will help our confidence a lot and propel us to win these last games of the season."
Holgorsen even brought White, a WVU legend, to speak to his team this week and participate in pregame activities, hoping to find a little of that Fiesta Bowl magic.
WVU, which has a trip to Iowa State on Nov. 23 and a home game with Kansas on Dec. 1, needs at least one more win to become bowl eligible and could greatly improve its postseason location by winning out.
But Oklahoma has its own goals in mind, particularly trying to stay in the race for a Big 12 title, should Kansas State stumble, and if not, keep alive the hope for an at-large BCS bowl bid.
The current OU players weren't on the team when the Sooners dropped the Fiesta Bowl in 2008, but they've heard the stories, particularly from head coach Bob Stoops, who was the Sooner coach that night, and they're not planning on letting it happen again.
"They burn couches if they win, so we're going to see," said OU defensive lineman Casey Walker. "We're going to try not to let them burn a couch (this weekend).
"I think that's kind of funny and ironic. I've never heard of that. I've heard of bringing down the goal post or rushing the field, but burning a couch? If they've got the money to buy a couch every week, then more power to them."
If it meant a win tonight, Holgorsen would probably gladly make the trip to the furniture store to replace the charred sofas.

Before it closed last December, few restaurants in town could compare to the Night Owl Cafe. Tucked in a hole in the wall in the Old City, the menu was inventive, yet seasonal, and lord, it was cheap.
There was the shiitake "bacon" on the vegetarian BLT's. There was the radish toast. And—for a brief time last fall—there was the trout. Cooked in parchment paper, or maybe a paper bag, topped with the last of the summer's cherry tomatoes, it was one of those dishes that make you say, "Jesus Christ, this is good," bite after bite after bite. It was special. And then it was gone.
If you talk to a certain subset of Knoxvillians—people who both love cooking and fine dining; people who are apt to know the difference between this local farmer and that one—you find a general skepticism as to whether the city can ever support the kind of restaurants that just landed Nashville in The New York Times last week. You know, the kind of restaurants that draw culinary tourism. The kind of restaurants that get nominated for Beard Awards (basically the Oscar of the food world).
Yes, we have the International Biscuit Festival and Baconfest, and sure, Blackberry Farm is just down the road, but sometimes it feels like there's this citywide apathy when it comes to creative cooking. Similarly situated cities have vibrant dining scenes—restaurants in Chattanooga and Asheville were nominated for Beard Awards this year, and smaller SEC college towns like Athens, Ga., and Oxford, Miss., have their own Beard Award-winning chefs. But in Knoxville, critics say, we don't often support the restaurants that try something different.
Yet is it really so hard to think that Knoxville can support the culinary arts the way Athens does? Local food scenes are hardly static. They evolve with every new chef, every new dish. And what's happening in Knoxville right now, this summer, just might make up for all the good restaurants that have tried and failed and left diners with only memories of what could have been.
Food trucks are finally here, Knoxville. With a little luck, our new generation of street-savvy chefs may put us on the culinary map.
The long summer day is drawing to a close at the Bearden Beer Market one Friday, and the tipplers are getting restless. It's time for a nosh.
And just beyond the roses, lit up with violet lights, the Savory and Sweet Truck awaits.
It's true that the Savory and Sweet Truck technically isn't Knoxville's first food truck—not by a long shot. There have been taco trucks roaming the streets for a number of years, and last year local fast-food chain Petro's started selling their chili-and-chips bowls from a truck, moving around all over town. A couple of barbecue joints soon followed suit, and for many, lunches or late night snacks became a lot more convenient.
But the Savory and Sweet Truck is different from Petro's, and barbecue, and tacos, even though owners Byron and Nikisha "Kiki" Sambat are no strangers to pulled pork and tortillas. Instead, the Savory and Sweet Truck is the first in Knoxville of what author and food historian John T. Edge calls the "New Guard" of food trucks. He describes this in his new cookbook, The Truck Food Cookbook, as "the insurgent band of young cooks who now stand at the helm of stepside vans, retrofitted Airstreams, and reimagined fiberglass carts. … Their work is informed, in equal measure, by the farm-to-fork movement, classic culinary matriculation, hard knocks education, punk rock gestalt, and a universal impatience, characteristic of cooks in their twenties and thirties."
These are the food trucks featured on the Food Network's The Great Food Truck Race, which is about to enter its third season. These are the food trucks that have gone from a Portlandia-esque fad to what food historian Josh Ozersky in Time this month calls a veritable revolution in the way we eat. "Like so much else in the world in which we find ourselves, like smartphones, Spotify, and all the rest, the food truck is bringing us flexibility and ease and liberation and, as Keanu Reeves memorably said in The Matrix, 'a world without … borders and boundaries,'" Ozersky writes.
It's the lack of boundaries—specifically the brick-and-mortar kind—that attracted the Sambats to the idea of launching a truck. With help from Byron, Kiki had started an in-home bakery, Kiki Foods, last year, selling her wares at farmers' markets and to local restaurants. But the 33-year-old felt limited by baked goods, she says.
"It was always in the back of my mind that we wanted to do a savory component," Kiki says. "We kept waiting for a food truck here, especially because of the way that Knoxville always emulates Nashville, and it's taken off there so much." But no food truck came, so eventually the couple decided to bring the trend to town themselves.
"We thought about doing brick-and-mortar, but we didn't want to be tied down," Byron, 36, says. "We can find the crowd and go to them."
Since the truck debuted at First Friday downtown in March, it's been parked at the former Marble City (now Saw Works) Brewing Company, the Market Square Farmers' Market, Ijams Nature Center, the Beer Market, and any number of events around town. Their menu has ranged from candied jalapeño pimento cheese sliders to coffee-chipotle-smoked pork tacos to bacon-wrapped almond-stuffed dates served with blue cheese dressing. It's as local as the Sambats can make it, it's constantly changing, and most importantly, it's actually good—all for under $10 a serving. It's creative, but it's casual, and Knoxvillians seem to be loving it. The truck was a hit at Bonnaroo, and Scripps Networks has just hired the couple to bring the food truck to its West Knoxville headquarters while the cafeteria undergoes renovations.
The Savory and Sweet Truck may be Knoxville's first official new wave food truck, but that's almost a fluke. At least two more food trucks are in the works in the city, with more rumored (but unconfirmed by this reporter at press time). Another truck, Crazy Good Burgers, just opened in Morristown, with plans to make the occasional venture into Knoxville. And that's just the beginning of what's happening on the streets.
Wes Walker will be opening the Farm to Taco Truck in early July with his partner Chris Sparks. Both are veterans of the Orangery. Sparks, 32, also worked at Charlie Trotter in Chicago, and Walker, 27, spent three years at Blackberry Farm.
You know you're hanging out with fine-dining veterans when, on a sweltering afternoon on Walker's farm in Maryville, he asks if you want water, and after you say yes, he replies, "Sparkling or still?" But like so many of their compatriots across the country, the pair of friends have become obsessed with street food. They plan a menu with Southern, Southwestern, and Asian influences—items like barbecue-chicken quesadillas with caramelized onions and goat cheese and pulled-pork tacos topped with a vinegary coleslaw. Most importantly, they plan to grow the majority of the vegetables and herbs they use.
"It's just a superior product if you know what you're doing and put the time into [gardening]," Walker says.
He shows me the sizable organic garden and points out the heirloom peppers—banana, habenero, cayenne, poblano, jalapeño. We walk over to the custom-made smoker, where it takes eight to 10 hours to get the pork just tender enough. Then we sit down to a late lunch Sparks has whipped up: fried green tomato báhn mì sandwiches, with a side of sweet potato chips. Walker makes sure to note the purslane on the sandwich. Purslane! No detail has gone unnoticed.
The sandwiches are pure comfort food—crisp, tart, spicy, soulful. The chips are perfect airy slices of potato. The meal hits all the right notes, and in no time at all, we've wolfed it down.
Walker's been planning on opening a food truck for over two years, and he convinced Sparks to come on board earlier this year. Despite some snags with health-department permitting, including having to install a well-water filtration system, the pair is finally ready to bring their truck into Knoxville on weekends, with planned regular appearances at the Market Square Farmers' Market, Saw Works Brewing Company, and late nights at the Valarium.
Walker says the one thing that's been the most frustrating to him is the lack of support from the business community. He says he originally tried going through the Knoxville Chamber of Commerce to learn about setting up a small business. "But it quickly became clear the Chamber didn't want that presence downtown," Walker says.
Whether or not the Chamber is enthusiastic, John T. Edge says that in a lot of ways, the new guard of food trucks is just as much about good business as good food. "It's a movement, but it's a movement of entrepreneurs," Edge explains in an interview while on a book tour for his cookbook. "I think that's the norm of what I saw across the country—people in their 20s or early 30s, with a good business plan, taking it quite seriously."
He says that battles that have cropped up in other cities between brick-and-mortar restaurants and food trucks are a "non-issue."
"[Food trucks] can lead to a vital street life and have a benefit on food culture as a whole. They can benefit brick-and-mortar restaurants," he says. "Truck owners are small business entrepreneurs, not pirates slinging hash. … What I've seen is that it generally takes six to nine months for the city and cart owners to work it out. But competition is good for all."
Edge also notes that for many young chefs, opening a food truck is the first, more affordable step towards a less mobile dining experience.
"More than 20 percent of the people I write about in the book have since opened brick-and-mortar restaurants. These trucks can be small business incubators. There's a very good chance that someone can build a good business that can translate into a small, chef-driven restaurant," Edge says.
Of course, for people like Jeff Duke, the business plan isn't about eventually landing a storefront, it's about eventually having a fleet of food trucks that can do corporate lunches, weddings, festivals, and late nights around town. Duke, 44, is opening his Main Event Catering truck later this summer after running a sandwich shop and catering company for years, and after a career as a chef in upscale restaurants, including Peerless and S&W Grand.
"The different revenue opportunities from a food truck … are pretty much endless," Duke says. "You just pick the best locations and go there. You aren't dependent on foot traffic."
Duke grew up going to food trucks in California—first traditional taco trucks serving fresh tortillas filled with lengua (tongue) or cachete (beef cheek), and then the Korean trucks, whose influence has now filtered all the way down to T.G.I. Friday's. (Yes, really. You can get "Korean Steak Tacos" at Friday's.) As a result, he says he plans a multinational menu, with Latino, Asian, and Indian influences.
"It's gonna be pretty eclectic," Duke says. Like the Savory and Sweet Truck and Farm to Taco Truck, vegetables and meats will be coming from local farmers, and like the other two trucks, Duke hopes to lure in the tipsy, with plans to park late-nights on weekends at the Corner BP downtown.
"To get started out, I think this is the way to go," Duke says.
There are lots of difficulties to running a food truck, of course. There's the weather, for one. If it rains, you're unlikely to have customers. If it's steamy, you're stuck inside a narrow metal trailer in front of a hot stove. There's the issue of actually getting the food you cook—you'll be hard-pressed to find vendors who deliver to your truck they way they would to a brick-and-mortar restaurant. Then you need to worry about getting the word out—building a follower base on Twitter and Facebook so your would-be customers can find you.
But when the word gets out, good things happen.
Take Manjit Bhatti. He's a Nashville native who moved to Knoxville in 2001 for school. After finishing a B.A. and an M.A. in German, he realized his heart wasn't in academia but the kitchen. He's currently a line cook at Northshore Brasserie, and he's also worked at Foothills Milling Company in Maryville. It may be an impressive culinary pedigree for the 29-year-old, but it's his $5 meals that are drawing raves this summer.
"I'm amazed they can do this quality of food off a truck," says Chris Jerger, nibbling on one of Bhatti's creations at the Market Square Farmers' Market.
"It's not just the food—it's the presentation and everything," adds his wife, Alice Schoo-Jerger.
The couple, like many, have become weekly devotees of Bhatti's Saturday morning kitchen mastery at the Cruze Farm Dairy truck. He started cooking for the farm three years ago, grilling sausage and bacon to add to Colleen Cruze's fluffy biscuits on Saturdays. Biscuits turned into hamburgers, and, this year, turned into Indian food. So, yeah, it's now an ice cream truck selling biscuits, milk drinks, and Indian food.
"I think that a lot of people think that it doesn't make sense," Bhatti says. "But it's everything obsessed with dairy. … Indians really love milk a lot."
Whether it makes sense or not, Cruze and Bhatti are doing something extraordinary every weekend. There's the ice cream, with flavors from kale to buttermilk lime cardamom. There are a range of milk drinks—mango lassi, whey lemonade, carrot milk. But the star of the show is Bhatti's food. Punjabi buttered lentils are topped with roasted bitter melon and preserved lemon. Bombay-style pigeon peas come with a dosa and coconut chutney. The whole roasted baby eggplants melt in your mouth.
This is not Indian food you can find anywhere else in Knoxville. This is Indian food you're lucky to find anywhere at all.
"It's just regular home food," Bhatti says modestly. "I felt there are a lot of similarities between Punjabi and Southern food. … To me a biscuit with butter is a very Indian food."
But when Bhatti makes a Goan-style congee with grits instead of rice and then tops it with a soft-boiled egg, crunchy paneer that's been marinated with preserved lemon, pickled oyster mushrooms, salty peanuts, cilantro, and sliced radishes? It's the best of all worlds, and you can only feel blessed to be sitting on a stool in the middle of the city spooning it into your mouth. This, this is what food can be.
In the new July issue of GQ, writer Brett Martin traverses the country in search of good food—new wave gourmet food, not just holes in the wall with amazing barbecue—and he finds it on food trucks, true, but also in a hospital in Raleigh, a Vegas casino, and even the Atlanta airport.
"It had long since become clear that the fortuitous collision of political, philosophical, health, and fashion movements that together form the Food Revolution had, over the past decade, penetrated nearly every corner of American life. … We the people have come to rely on, indeed feel entitled to, good food everywhere," Martin writes.
Martin almost came to Knoxville for this story, and he almost went to the Night Owl, and it's kind of too bad that the restaurant didn't get to be memorialized in a national magazine. But it's summer now, a whole new season. We have food trucks, and more on the way.
As Martin writes, "Food trucks have become to food scenes what porcupines are said to be to a forest: a sign that you've got a healthy, vibrant ecosystem at work."
And if people like the Sambats, Walker and Sparks, Duke, and Bhatti have anything to say about it, that Food Revolution is here to stay. It'll just be on the pavement.

It seems unfair that these roaming food trucks are allowed to compete with restaurants that pay rent (and therefore, property taxes via the landlord) and employ multiple people.

Dear Abby: I have lived in an abusive marriage for 11 years. Now, when I have finally mustered the courage to leave, everybody says I must stay "for the children" as he is a "changed man."
I no longer love him and he refuses to give me a divorce. He also refuses to admit there is anything wrong in the marriage and says I'm exaggerating everything.
I have tried counseling and therapy alone because he refused to join me. I do not want my four children to be affected by my choice and wish for a mutual discussion, but he doesn't want to discuss divorce. I am afraid to stay and afraid to leave. I have no support system here.
Wants out in Illinois
After 11 years of abuse and counseling and therapy alone because your husband would not accompany you, his wishes should no longer affect your decision. Pick up the phone and contact the National Domestic Violence Hotline, 800-799-7233. That's the place to find information about how to form an escape plan for yourself and your children. Whether your husband is willing to discuss divorce or not, he cannot force you to remain married to him. An attorney can help you with the process once you are out of there.

President's Letter
There has been renewed interest recently in our mascot, the Chinese bronze dragon-dog statue we call Boxer. The original, which was given to the school by an alumnus who was a missionary in China, has been missing since a "Boxer toss" in 1969. A replica cast with student funds in 1982 is now missing too.
When the bronze statue first arrived on campus in 1896 it was called "The Campus Spirit." Even after Index staffers coined the Boxer name, the idea that the statue symbolizes the spirit of campus continued. That's why there has always been a certain amount of anxiety when Boxer "goes missing" or indeed, when students take him on a road trip, as recent graduate Dean Croshere did last summer.
Though we remain concerned about the whereabouts of our icons, the Pacific campus spirit is something that endures no matter where Boxer and Boxer II are stashed, and no matter where we plant our flag, be it Portland, Eugene, Hillsboro or Forest Grove. Pacific's special spirit, embodied in our tradition of caring and personalized learning, lives on, no matter what we call ourselves.
That kind of campus spirit cannot be stolen, hidden or easily extinguished as long as we remain dedicated to nurturing it and passing it on for generations to come.
Please drop me a note.
Phil Creighton, President
EDITOR'S NOTE | As we were going to press with this issue, President Phil Creighton announced his retirement after five extraordinary years at the University, effective in July 2009. He made his announcement Sept. 18 at the annual State of the University address. You can watch the address on iTunesU. We'll have more on the tenure of the man students affectionately call "Dr. Phil" in the Spring 2009 issue of Pacific.

Several KING 5 viewers captured a rare showing of the Northern Lights in the Puget Sound area this week.
One of those viewers, Chris Teren, has spent several hours each night photographing the Aurora from a good vantage point in Roche Harbor on San Juan Island. He shared his time lapse video from Monday night with us.
Chris said he started shooting and watching about 9:30 p.m. and stayed out until 1:45 a.m.
"I set up a Nikon D700 DSLR on a very sturdy triple with a 24-70 mm f2.8 Sigma lens, which I set at f3.5 and wide open at 24mm. I set the camera to take sequential photos with an 8 second exposure, and keep taking them as long as the memory card had room," he said.
The video he shared with us is approximately 450 images, animated at 15 frames per second to create the time-lapse.
The Northern Lights may be visible in some areas of Western Washington Tuesday night. You can view the Aurora track through NOAA's Space Weather Prediction Center.
Chris has more Northern Lights photos and time lapses on his website, and on his Facebook page.

The planks on the porch squeak every time they shift their weight. Combined with the constant moans it's enough to drive a man insane. In addition, the stink, the stink is horrible. Anyone still alive who ever took the time to wonder how bad two-week-old corpses stink definitely needs to come down here and smell the yard. There's about ten of those things sitting outside waiting for something to eat to come walking out of this place. Unfortunately for them that's just not going to happen. There is roughly a two-month' supply of food for one person here along with enough water for three months. Realistically there is no reason to leave. Let them all rot while waiting for something that's never coming. It's a shame that the family couldn't come, but with them all being gobbled up it's understandable.
Time appears to move slower when by yourself. It moves so slowly in fact that it becomes almost tangible. That's the cruel reality of time, when you need more it just whips right by you but when you have an overabundance of it well it just stops for a moment and laughs at you. The creaks from the porch are becoming less frequent. They have gone from twenty a second to roughly ten. The moaning hasn't disappeared. If there was a gun handy, that could be taken care of. The noise would probably call more of them though. There was an emergency broadcast on the short wave radio last night. The military has been decimated by the infected, just as local police were two and a half weeks ago. Welcome to the end of the world.

Todd Woody, Forbes Staff
I cover environmental and green technology issues from San Francisco.
Back in June, I had the opportunity to drive the new Ford Focus Electric for two weeks and was so impressed by the car's quality, performance and fun factor that I concluded it was a Tesla Model S for the middle class.
So when I reluctantly decided it was time to trade in my 11-year-old Toyota RAV4 I began lusting after the sporty battery-powered European-styled hatchback. But my quest to drive carbon free underscores the challenges that remain in selling electric cars to the mass market.
First I had to figure out where I would plug in the car. My cluttered 1928-vintage garage seemed too tight a fit but the city of Berkeley would not let me install an outdoor charger so I incentivized my teenager to sell the furniture taking up garage space. I put the kayak in the backyard and Zipcar'd a gasoline Ford Focus to see if it would fit. Voila, it did with literally just a few inches to spare.
With a sticker price of $39,995, the Ford Focus Electric ain't cheap. But after a $7,500 federal tax break that the dealer deducts from the price up front and a $2,500 California tax rebate, $29,995 for a fully loaded electric car didn't look bad, especially as the gasoline version tops out for just a little less.
But I wasn't prepared to take the technology risk of buying an electric car that could turn into the automotive version of an iPhone 3gs in five years if, say, Tesla comes out with a $30,000 car or startups like Envia make good on efforts to create a 200-mile range battery.
Leasing seemed the way to go and Ford's site quoted a $439 a month rate for a three-year lease. Kinda high but not outrageous. Until I started contacting dealers and got quotes ranging from $550 with a $2,500 down payment to around $600 a month with no down payment to lower the capitalized cost of the car. (You have to read the small print on the Ford site to learn that $439 doesn't include, tax, title and other charges.)
Out of curiosity I asked what the lease would be on a fairly loaded gasoline Ford Focus hatchback. The answer: $275 a month.
What gives?
The short answer is that Ford and other automakers don't really know what one of their electric cars sold or leased today will be worth in five years as the market and electric car infrastructure is in its infancy.
But as NPR's Adam Davidson pointed out in a recent column in The New York Times Magazine, car dealers are betting that the residual value of a conventional new car will be high in three years because of pent-up demand from car owners who have been driving their aging vehicles into the ground during the recession.
That means dealers can offer cheap leases because they anticipate making money on the back end. I'll bet with electric cars dealers are charging more upfront to hedge the risk the car's value will plummet in the years ahead – a theory that at least one dealer confirmed.
Faced with steep monthly lease payments for a Ford Focus Electric and the challenges that come with the car's 76-mile range on a charge (fine for most of my daily driving but a pain if I want to go surfing at my favorite break), I briefly considered other electric cars with comparable ranges that offered lower lease payments. The Nissan Leaf's space-age design didn't do it for me and the car takes twice as long to charge as the Focus. The Honda Fit electric charges fast but I couldn't see myself driving a very expensive econobox. (I had already ruled out the RAV4 electric due to its $50,000 price tag though it can go 100 miles on a charge thanks to its Tesla electric drive train.) I also test-drove the new Prius C, which was certainly sportier and more fun than the standard-issue Prius and offers 50 mpg. But the car seemed woefully underpowered with 99 horses under the hood.
Don't feel so bad, if you actually do the greenhouse gas math you will find out that the electric car actually produces a lot more greenhouse gases at the power plant than your new gasoline powered car. Get a car that can actually uses E85 and you would be doing the environment even more good. Then if you are worried about using food for fuel, donate some money to a charity that buys food in Africa for the starving poor there. It is much cheaper than shipping corn from the US.
Your greenhouse gas math is way off – here is the last article in a recent series that dealt with the issue http://www.greentechmedia.com/articles/read/Guest-Post-EV-Myths-and-Realities-Part-2-Green-as-the-Grid/. I'd add that many EV owners purchase green power anyway.
Not sure why the author didn't consider a Volt. With CA gas prices the lease – available prices are less than what is being referenced here for the Ford Focus – would justify unless the miles driven are in excess of 25,000 annually, in which case a Prius begins to make more sense. I don't have any special charging equipment at home – just plug into a standard 110V outlet – and no charging infrastructure at work and am getting roughly 175mpg. I get 45 miles to the charge consistently.
Oh, dear! What Big Oil-funded propaganda nonsense have you been reading?
You do know, don't you, that a gallon of petrol or diesel uses about 6kWh of electrical energy to refine? That the Focus would go about 23 miles on that amount of energy alone? That if you install a PV array on your roof you don't use any fossil fuelled energy to power it at all? That when you add in all the energy used to find, drill, pump (26 times), transport etc the crude oil and then fuel you lose another 40% of efficiency on top of the already pathetic 30%, at best, efficiency of the internal combustion engine? I could go on… But I see the rest of your post degenerates into childish nonsense – I suppose that explains why you don't want to reveal your identity.
Anyway, Todd, you should feel bad – and you will feel even worse when petrol rises to $10/gallon in a year or two!
I'm rather surprised that your local authority prohibits the installation of a charge point on your drive. You could just install a weatherproof socket – you don't have to use one of those huge, ugly and horribly expensive 'EVSE's, you know.
I'm getting solar and plan to run my Ford EV almost exclusively off solar power. As the other person wrote, your math is way off.
Robert, I wish you the best with your Volt. Personally, when I am able to take the electric plunge for my next vehicle (I already own a Prius) I will skip anything made by GM given their history of poor reliability and for taking government handouts that I am subsidizing against my will.
Brief followup: Chevy Volt is the most reliable compact car after 3 years, which would be the 2011MY:
In my experience with a 2011 and 2013 so far, the only unreliable thing I've had issues with is the crummy Goodyear stock tire.
I suggest you look into the greenhouse gas effect of the nitrous oxide produced by using nitrogen fertilizer to cultivate the corn to produce ethanol. You'll find that corn ethanol is far worse for greenhouse gas generation that gasoline and diesel. This also doesn't take into the account the impact of nitrate contamination of subsurface and surface waters, as well as aquifer depletion for irrigation.
I'm waiting for Tesla's Tesla for the middle class! That's the one I'll trade my Outback for. And the solar on the roof will feed the charger…..
Mr. Woody:
You represent a real problem for the automakers. Your state has mandated that the automakers produce electric cars because their internal combustion cars just aren't good enough. And even when the taxpayers offer to pay you $10,000; you still don't pull the trigger on a electric vehicle. Heck, you didn't even get a hybrid! And you are a huge proponent of electric vehicles – for other people; but not for yourself. If an environmental blogger in Berkeley, CA won't buy an electric vehicle with $10K on the hood, who will step up and walk the carbon-free walk?
I have to agree with @goatrope here. It is really surprising that you did not take the cost of gas into consideration. If you lease a car for $250 – $320, you basically get a car for the price of gas. In a year or two, when gas prices climb to $5, you will actually get the car for free.
Amen Goatroap. Mr. Woody, you have a budget, I have a budget. I understand that if you can only have one car, electric becomes an "issue." I bought a used 2005 Prius that was in great shape for 12K when all the costs were factored in. I am eager to ditch my 2001 PT Cruiser when I am able to look for a replacement vehicle in about 12-18 months and will likely get a Focus electric. I for one and eager to end my relationship with the gas pump, or as much as possible.
Sorry the math did not work out for you but for me the story was much different.
For me I compared the purchase of an SE trim Gas powered Focus to a 3 year lease of an electric. Putting the same down on each car I got a difference in payment of only $250 for the purchase on 5 yr vs. $288 for a 3 yr lease with 19,800 mi/yr. Here is what sold me, at the end of the 3 yr lease I am left with no car but I have saved $5,000-$6,000 a year in fuel costs (that is my avg cost for the last 2 years at different gas prices). Vs the purchase at the end of the 5 yr financing say I am left with say a $12,000-$15,000 car. The net effect is the benefit is the same but I have gotten that $15,000 back in saved fuel costs upfront. I need the saving now because my income is down 50%, fuel is going up and I need to cut my costs now.
Other factors that worked in my favor was I found a free public charging station on the route that I walk my dog every evening so I can plug in, walk home and walk the dog back after dinner to a free full charge.
The mileage that I drive around town everyday is about 50 mi. There are no charging stations within 4 mi of my office so I used the $2500 I got back from the state to install a charging station. My office is close to a freeway on/off ramp so I get many EV drivers needing charges. I charge a little less than Blink rates and my investment is paying off.
I find the amount of details an variables to consider, the numbers to crunch, and the disciplines needed are way, way beyond the capabilities of the avg American.
I think Ford has increased the residual value on the lease from $19,000 to $22,000 on a 3 year lease so you may want to run the numbers again.
Perhaps you would have been better off with a chevy volt @269 a month lease and dealers are eager to unload 2012 models so many are discounting the amount due at signing.
It's a shame you gave up so easily. You should have given more time for new offers and sales to come your way. The Ford Focus is not the only car available. You can get the Nissan Leaf for a very good price ($200 – $250 lease), but Mitsubishi i-Miev ($250) and GM Volt ($319 lease, no down payment) are also available.
Leasing an electric car is a good idea because you get the $7500 tax credit immediately without waiting for your tax return (you incorrectly indicated that you get the credit immediately which is not the case). It also insulates you from the risk of adopting a new technology, even though Nissan and other manufacturers provide 8 years or 100,000 miles warranty on the battery. We just got our second Leaf and we love it.
Some Volt dealers were rolling GM dealer incentives into their leases, and folks were getting 24mo for as low as $199/mo, though I believe the baseline lease is back to $299/mo.
Me, I'm glad I bought as I was able to get the full value of the tax credit back, though I can definitely see myself trading in for another Volt or Voltec vehicle if/when it gets significant battery, genset and interior space upgrades.
BTW, I traded 2011 for a 2013 to get the additional features, though for the next vehicle I may defect to i3 (increased headroom and power!) or save up more pennies for a Tesla.

Poured a nice cloudy orange with a one finger white head. Quite nice looking, very true to it's style. Scents of wet grass, citrus pith, pineapple, tropical fruit, citrus juice, grapefruit, a hint of grain and some alcohol notes. Very much a DIPA in the nose, with maybe a bit more alcohol than some other notable examples of the style. Quite nice however. Taste starts with bitter citrus pith and pine resin, before moving into grapefruit in the middle, with some faint hints of apricot and tropical fruit. It's not as bitter as many DIPAs, and seems a little low on hops for the style. There is also a bit of alcohol in there, of the rubbing alcohol persuasion. It's not a horrible flavor profile, but I've tasted more complex, more bold, more flavorful DIPAs. Mouthfeel is medium-heavy bodied, moderate in carbonation and with an oily/slick mouthfeel. It's true to style, easy to drink, not much more to say. Overall it's a pretty good DIPA, but it's not fantastic, and there are certainly better examples of West Coast DIPAs out there. I'd have it again, but not over a lot of other DIPAs out there.

Serving Type - 32oz can
Appearance - Golden tan, burnt orange with a nice 2 inch foamy as hell, tons of lacing.
Smell - Piney hops, grapefruit, orange, grapes, very citric. A nice mix of lemon and honey. Some minor malts near the finish along with a little alcohol.
Taste - First sip starts off with a roasty and caramel malt flavor. Hops actually take a backseat to the malts but provide some citric notes. Alcohol is present throughout this brew. Some sugars, lemon , honey and brown sugar also add some flavor. Very warm beer with a boozy finish.
Mouthfeel - Malts and hops nail the tongue along with some alcohol. Palate gets more of the same, along with some sugars and spices. and more alcohol warmth. The aftertaste is malty, citric and alcohol.
Overall - Hmm, not a bad beer but its roasty, burnt malt reminds me a lot of dogfish head 90 minute ipa. The alcohol is too present and the malts are too upfront so the balance in this isn't that great. Still its decent to drink, but man in a 32 oz can by myself, I will be sipping on this one for a hour or two. Work a drink if you like malt forward dipas, espically like great divine's Hercules and such.

32 ounce can. Served in a DFH snifter, the beer pours a hazy dark orange/amber color with about an inch light tan head. Head retention and lacing are both good. The brew smells like citrusy (grapefruit, tropical fruit) hops, along wtih some caramel and bready malt. It tastes like citrusy (tropical fruit, grapefruit, orange peel) and pine hops, caramel and bready malt, and toffee. There's also a good bittersweet finish. Mouthfeel/body is medium, it's creamy and easy to drink with moderate carbonation. I think it's a good brew, and at $7.99 a can (or cannon as I think Mission calls these big cans) I'd pick this up again.

With the delicate teeter that distinguishes dry and hoppy IPA versus the uptick in strength that would cause a 'drinking' beer to become a 'sipping' one, this is the line that Shipwrecked tries to straddle.
Starting with the common hazy honey-amber appearance, a frothy white head emerges to cap the beer with long-standing retention and intermittent lace. Handsome enough, the ale sells the Imperial appearance well but without becoming any kind of a standout.
Its powerful aromatics are a blend of high hops, balancing sweetness and a spicy tinge of alcohol. Its citrus focus is undeniable as notes of grapefruit come to mind. But then come waves of grass, caramel, liqueur, and pine.
To taste, its the caramel, honey and barley flavor create a bready type of sweetness that buffers the palate against the hop and alcohol onslaught to come. Its smooth balance is part creamy caramel and part citrus as the taste of ripe grapefruit, orange juices and tangy tropical flavor weaves into an even-keel middle palate. But thereafter, the sweetness dissolves and its bitterness grows- turning to citrus pith, then to grass and then arriving at pine sap-type of bitterness. Fleeting sweetness allows also for a rise of alcohol spice that pricks against the tongue like vodka.
Despite its balanced and succulent taste, the beer's body is lush with caramel and creaminess. But as its body slowly relaxes, it is shy in offering up the dryish tone that the style deserves. Bold from start to finish, the ale only finishes malty-dry and lingers into a separated boozy warmth.
Still, Mission's Shipwrecked is a formidable Imperial IPA that has a sweetish tone and prefers a less-than-dry finish. If you're looking to get into hops but have found standard American IPA's too lopsided, then this might be your segway beer.

United Kingdom: Enviro Groups Mull Legal Challenge of Shell's Arctic Offshore Drilling Plan
Greenwire: Environmental groups yesterday expressed unified opposition to the Interior Department's conditional approval of Shell Offshore Inc.'s plan to drill four wells in Alaska's Beaufort Sea beginning next summer and said they are considering their legal options. The groups said they believe Shell is unprepared to respond to a potential oil spill in Alaska's frigid waters and that drilling activity could divert endangered bowhead whales from critical feeding grounds.

A 56-year-old White Lake woman faces a charge of drunken driving, after a vehicle crashed into a house in the 22000 block of Cora Street Sunday night.
According to a Farmington Hills Police report, officers called to the home shortly after 7 p.m. found the woman standing near her vehicle. The report indicated that the woman appeared "extremely disoriented", her speech was slurred, and police noticed an odor of intoxicants while speaking with her. The woman refused a preliminary breath test, but consented to a blood test to determine her blood alcohol level, according to the report. She was taken to Botsford Hospital, complaining of back and neck pain.
The homeowner told police that she was in the back of the house when she heard a loud crash, but did not check to see what happened until police arrived. According to the report, the home's structure was not damaged, but an attached porch was destroyed.
Neighbors who saw the aftermath told police they saw the woman in the vehicle driver's seat, the report indicated. One said the woman has been living in a neighboring house.

The Norman Transcript
NORMAN — The University of Oklahoma hosted a day of cutting-edge concepts and inspirational discourse on community planning Wednesday with the 2013 Placemaking Conference presented by the Institute for Quality Communities.
The complimentary conference featured insight from world leaders in urban planning, examining design solutions for problems ranging from sustainability to traffic flow to increasing neighborliness.
Evening keynote speaker Hank Dittmar, chief executive of the UK-based Prince Charles Foundation for Building Community, provided a summary of key factors necessary to well-planned communities, using foundation projects in the UK and abroad as examples.
"My campaign is to actually engage with residents in our project areas to create quality living space," Dittmar said. "We believe that design is far too important to be left solely to the professionals. We want to create a mutual education process where residents can understand the DNA of building a community and designers can understand what the residents actually want to see."
Key elements of a successful community design that Dittmar highlighted were designs that are rooted in local culture, connected and accessible, balanced, resilient against weather events and cost effective.
Using an aerial image of the so-called "vertical sprawl," high-rise contemporary apartments of Shanghai as an example, Dittmar explored the negative trend of standardizing and effectively de-humanizing urban dwellings — lessening culture and quality of life.
"As we look to the future of increased urban population, designers tend to look at it like a storage problem, not a human problem. Our 20th century culture of mass production and internationalism has shaped the way we look at planning and design, and we need a model that focuses on building local identity and what each place has to offer the world based on its uniqueness and not standardization," Dittmar said.
Positive examples Dittmar used were communities featuring public transportation designed around a city to foster pedestrian traffic and architecture drawing from local taste/tradition.
Particularly innovative were high-density dwellings that blended differently priced units together but had the same curb appearance, therefore avoiding the stigmatization of the area's lower-income occupants.
"What we've tended toward is either customizing everything or standardizing everything, and we ought to be looking for something more in between," Dittmar said.
Lastly, Dittmar emphasized that these design concepts, though urban-centric, are universally applicable, from urban to rural communities.
"This is just as important in towns or villages as it is in cities," Dittmar said. "When we talk about urbanization, what we're talking about is 'urbanity,' building places that allow us to meet our neighbor. It's about recapturing civility and civil discourse, and that is the 21st century."

2010 Legislative Session Roundup: Georgia
Enzo Pastore on June 3, 2010 - 11:58am
The longest legislative session in Georgia's history adjourned on April 29th. Dominated by budget reductions, tax and revenue policy debates, and education and transportation issues, it was a difficult and mostly painful session for progressive change as extensive cuts were made targeting education, health and social service programs. After nearly a week of negotiations in the House and Senate Budget Conference Committee, an agreement was reached on the $17.8 billion state budget just hours before the legislative session was scheduled to adjourn.
Budget, Tax and Revenue: Even with the lingering recession causing a record decline in revenues, the legislature enacted long-term tax cuts at a rate of $624 million per year, disregarded other revenue options and shifted tax burdens on to middle class and low income Georgians.
HB 1023 includes a three year tax break primarily for Georgians in the top five percent income bracket and the elimination of the corporate net worth tax that, when fully implemented, will wind up costing the state $350 million in annual revenue losses. HB 1069 includes a new tax credit for investors and gives them the rollover ability to apply unused credits to future taxes. Adding to tax benefits for the wealthy, HB 1055 does away with the tax on retirement income for Georgia's wealthiest seniors and will drain another $150 million away from state revenues.
Having slashed taxes on the wealthy, HB 1069 turns around and increases the tax burden on the poor by eliminating the refundable portion of the Low Income Tax Credit, reducing its intended goal of offsetting sales taxes paid by working families. Essentially, while the wealthy can offset excess income with tax credits, those under the $20,000 income threshold are prevented from offsetting sales taxes paid with income tax credits.
The General Assembly took some positive steps in addressing the immediate $5 billion budget deficit by adding nearly $375 million in new taxes and fees, with $200 million in new revenue from a temporary 1.45 percent tax on hospitals and more than $90 million from a series of increases in fees on items such as court filings, mortgage lender fees, license plates and professional licenses. Improvements in tax collections and transparency (SB 206 and HB 1284) were also passed along with HB 1405, creating of an 11 member 2010 Tax Reform Council that will study and recommend changes to the state's tax structure.
June 8th marks the deadline for the Governor to sign the remaining budget bills which if enacted threaten to deprive future state budgets of much needed revenues.
Government Transparency: SB 206 will increases transparency to government decisions about tax credits and exemptions by creating a "tax expenditure budget," identifying the cost of all such policies. SB 389 requires the State Department of Audits to post state budgets, agency salaries and expenses, consultant expenses and other financial disclosures on internet. SB 374 creates the Legislative Economic Development Council for evaluating the state's economic development strategies, review state funded activities and expenditures and oversee the effectiveness of such strategies, tax incentives and credits, etc.
Transportation: The 2009 transportation funding bill that died in conference committee during last year's session served as the catalyst for passage in this session of a compromise version of the Governor's 2010 transportation funding bill. HB 277 will provide for the development of 12 regional plans for transportation and transit funding needs. It also lifts the restriction on the use of capital versus operating expenses for the Metropolitan Atlanta Rapid Transit Authority (MARTA) tax revenues for three years and reduces the size and composition of the MARTA Board. The bill also creates a Transit Governance Study Commission for the Atlanta Region with legislators and local representatives joining together to address the potential for developing a regional transit system.
Health Care: Although resolutions to amend the state's constitution to block the federal health reform law's individual and employer mandates failed in the legislature, a bill that included a provision prohibiting mandatory participation in any federal health care system was passed on the last day of the session. SB 411 was originally written to allow health insurance plans to include wellness and health promotion programs that provide rewards or incentives for Georgians involved in good health and preventative measures. A last-minute House amendment added the language of the failed SB 317 to the "Healthy Georgians Act" to nullify federal health reform. Legal challenges to the passage of SB 411 will likely be made if the Governor decides to give the bill his signature.
Good news came in the form of HB 948, approved as part of the budget package authorizing a $1.25 million Medicaid demonstration waiver to fund family planning services, and in the process generating a 90% federal match. The primary goal of this demonstration waiver is to lower the number of low birth weight babies. But simultaneously, access to health services was also curtailed, by reducing funds for the Babies Born Healthy program, increasing premium payments for Peach Care, slashing $6.8 million from County Health Departments and putting an end to maternal health education and training programs.
One failed conservative health care measure (SB 407/HB 1184) would have allowed interstate sales of health insurance and in the process circumvented consumer protections required for in-state insurers under Georgia law.
Education and Childcare: The Georgia Legislature added 2,000 slots to the lottery funded Georgia Pre-K program ($14.3 Million) but did so at the expense of cutting resource coordinator grants that funds social workers who provide supportive services to low-income families.
But a brutal budget axe fell on the state's educational system as lawmakers made 13-15% across the board cuts impacting public schools, universities and technical colleges. The fallout of these dramatic cuts is that per student state spending on K-12 education will fall to its lowest level in a decade, even with the use of Recovery Act funds. There will be larger class sizes, salary cuts, potentially thousands of teacher layoffs, the use of more higher education adjunct faculty and reduced supportive services. In response to the current cuts, some school boards have already moved to a K-12 four-day school week or have shortened their school calendars from 180 to 160 days.
The state's Quality Basic Education Funding Formula, the method by which state funds are allocated to local school systems, realized a $527 million cut in state funds matched by a $272 million cut in federal funds for a total loss of $800 million. Other spending cut targets included the elimination of National Board Certification salary increases for certified teachers, cuts in school nursing, preschool disability and nutrition programs.
Progressives were able to defeat several right-wing anti-abortion and anti-immigrant measures:
- Abortion: Anti-abortion companion bills, SB 52 and HB 1155, would have subjected physicians and other providers to criminal penalties for providing abortion services.
- Immigration: Two anti-immigrant measures were defeated this legislative session. SB 67 would have imposed an English-only driver's license test, marking the third consecutive year this legislation was defeated. If it had passed, Georgia would have become the first state to impose such a restriction. SB 385 would have rewarded select Georgia counties with millions of state dollars if they entered into 287(g) agreements with the US Immigration and Customs Enforcement division of the Department of Homeland Security. These agreements allow local and state law enforcement officials to enforce federal immigration laws.
Notable bills that did not pass included HB 37, the Parent Protection Act, which would have required employers to provide up to 24 hours per year of either paid or unpaid leave for workers to attend a medical appointment for the employee or the employee's spouse or child; accompany an aging relative to a medical appointment; or attend their child's school conference and HB 935, which would have created a commission to develop a comprehensive plan to reduce extreme poverty in Georgia by half by 2015 by addressing issues of access to affordable housing; adequate food and nutrition; affordable and quality health care; quality education and child care and opportunities to engage in sustainable work that pays a living wage.
