In a special session Friday, the Joplin City Council endorsed the creation of a tax increment financing district to help finance redevelopment projects in the wake of the May 2011 tornado.
The ordinance, which passed in a 6-3 vote, will take effect on Tuesday.
It creates a 3,100-acre district in the center of the city encompassing the tornado zone and part of the downtown.
Future increases in property taxes and a portion of the sales tax revenue generated within the district will be directed over the 23-year life of the district to a number of redevelopment projects.
David Wallace, chief executive officer of Wallace Bajjali Development Partners, the master developer, has said up to $57 million in tax revenue could be generated to secure bonded indebtedness to help finance some of the $800 million in projects.
Mayor Melodee Colbert-Kean said after the meeting that she voted to support the plan because she thinks it will spur development.
"This is going to go hand in hand with our rebuilding and redevelopment in the city," she said. "All of this is to benefit the city; all of this is to enhance the city's growth. We're doing this not just for us, but for the generations to come."
Dissenting votes came from Bill Scearce, Jack Golden and Trisha Raney.
Scearce said in prepared remarks that he was uncomfortable with the speed in which the proposal has moved through the local government. The proposal was formally introduced to the city at the beginning of October, recommended for approval by the city's TIF Commission two weeks ago and considered Friday by council members on an emergency clause.
"I have some grave concerns about the quick passage of these TIF projects," he said. "Why is there such a rush to pass this TIF?"
City Attorney Brian Head said one reason was for the developer to purchase several properties that the owners wanted to sell before the end of the year for tax purposes. Wallace also has said that for the TIF district to be established using 2012 property valuations, the council must have taken action by Dec. 31 or risk losing a portion of the anticipated revenue by using 2013 property valuations.
Golden said during the meeting that he was concerned the plan would require the city to become the owner of many of the outlined projects. Head said the "bulk of the projects" would not be publicly owned.
After the meeting, Raney said she was not necessarily opposed to the proposal, but she voted against it because she wasn't convinced that redevelopment would not occur without it and because of its size. The district is 100 times larger than the 31-acre Northpark Crossing TIF district at Fourth Street and Range Line Road, and the 38-acre 1717 Marketplace TIF district at 17th Street and Range Line Road. It will be the largest TIF district in Missouri.
"I just wasn't completely comfortable with it, and I felt like it was too big of an issue for me to be able to vote for it," Raney said.
The council also approved, in a 7-2 vote, a separate ordinance authorizing the TIF projects and designating the city's Joplin 353 Redevelopment Corp. as the developer of them. Scearce and Raney cast dissenting votes.
The redevelopment projects include $258 million for housing, $56 million for mixed-use residential over retail and commercial space, $74 million for a medical office building, $20 million for a Joplin Public Library/theater complex, $45 million for a consolidated government office complex, $68 million for a performing and visual arts center and Union Depot restoration, $73 million for a downtown education complex, $55 million for a multipurpose event venue and sports complex, and $70 million for a hotel and convention center.
Head said more detailed proposals for the projects will come to the council for approval as the Joplin Redevelopment Corp. finds subdevelopers for them.
"By this action, you are approving each of the projects conceptually," he said, of the ordinance approved Friday. "You are not approving the detailed projects of this TIF plan."
Friday's vote wraps up nearly three months of discussion and debate over the effects the proposal would have on the taxing entities located within the district.
Officials with the Joplin School District, in particular, had outlined what they said would be "financial challenges" to the school system as a result of the proposal. They said the district would cause an immediate loss in revenue to the school system by freezing assessed valuations at a post-tornado level, resulting in a minimum of $1 million in lost revenue annually, and could create significant growth in enrollment as new students moved into housing developments in the district.
The proposal, as agreed to by all parties earlier this month, includes a $13 million payment to the school district to cover revenue losses as well as annual payments per student to cover operating costs and potential construction costs associated with increases in enrollment.
The city's TIF Commission, which includes representatives from the city and the other taxing entities, voted unanimously on Dec. 14 to recommend the proposal to the council.
Other business
The Joplin City Council also approved uncontested rezoning requests for properties at 2221 N. Florida Ave.; at 3003, 3015 and 3023 S. Connecticut Ave.; at the southeast corner of 20th Street and Connecticut Avenue, and at 1934 Murphy Boulevard.

Independence Day—or the Glorious Fourth, if you like—is, without a doubt, my favorite holiday. There is no artifice to the Glorious Fourth, no need to comply with societal pressures to consume 10 percent of GDP or pretend to enjoy the company of layabout relatives.
No one stresses over the Fourth of July. Christmas is months' worth of planning and shopping and news about the state of the economy or religion or the secular state viewed through the prism of a holiday. This is not a concern come Independence Day.
Typical planning session, on or about July 2:
American 1: "Hey, the Fourth is coming up. Want to come over and grill?"
American 2: "Sure. I'll bring the beers."
American 1: "And after it gets dark, we'll blow something up! Then have s'mores."
End of planning session. And the event will go off without a hitch.
The Fourth doesn't carry the forced solemnity of Veterans Day or the uncomfortable vexillophilia of Flag Day. There's never any concern over how to best celebrate; we all instinctually know. Relaxing, after all, comes naturally.
Perhaps this national relaxation is predicated on the Independence Day's fortuitous calendar placement; if our illustrious forefathers had, instead of sweltering through a Philly summer, signed the Declaration of Independence in the midst of a Boston snowstorm, we'd probably be subjected to an endless run-up leading to a deflating experience. The Fourth, in short, would have become New Year's Eve.
We're a lucky nation.
So we owe the Founding Fathers for more than just, you know, writing the founding document of modern democracy. We owe them our summers. Although tough luck to John Adams on guessing the wrong date Americans would celebrate; he assumed we'd be lighting off our "Illuminations" on the anniversary of the day the Continental Congress actually voted to declare independence, the second of July. Guess that just doesn't have the same ring to it.
That's another great thing about my favorite holiday: a slew of Jeopardy!-esque facts clever enough to repeat while you bother the guy manning the grill but not quite so annoying he feels the need to skewer you with a beef kabob.
Me: "Did you know John Adams and Thomas Jefferson both died on the Fourth of July, within hours of each other?"
Guy on Grill: "Huh."
Me: "And the Continental Congress probably didn't even sign the Declaration of Independence until at least a month after the Fourth, when a clean copy was produced?"
Guy on Grill: "Why don't you go get me a beer?"
Are you worried rain will spoil your Fourth of July celebrations? No! In case of inclement weather, our great nation has seen fit to televise Nathan's 97th Annual July Fourth International Hot Dog Eating Contest. Stay dry while tuning in and cheering on the Great American Hope, reigning champ and appropriately named Joey Chestnut. Heck, in true American fashion, you can even bet on it.
The Fourth is summertime and watermelon, fireworks and floating languidly, beer in hand. Wiffleball on the beach and barbeques. Cooking doesn't take eight hours (unless it does), and the clean-up is easy. Although I'll countenance "best holiday" arguments for St. Patrick's Day (although not American enough) or maybe even Halloween (simultaneously too kiddy and too adult), no other holiday hits Independence Day's sweet spot of effortless enjoyment and legitimate emotional underpinnings. See me on the Fourth, and I'll be a happy American, probably singing Lee Greenwood. Feel free to join in. Or not. It's the Glorious Fourth, and we're all free.
Plus, I really like bunting.

Update, 9:22 a.m. Friday: The Hess station in Quogue was down to just 252 gallons of regular and 156 gallons of premium as of 9 a.m., according to HessExpress.com.
The website has posted an inventory list on its website, including many, but not all, Hess gas stations in the area. Hess advises only heading to a station that reports having at least 5,000 gallons left. Any less, and it will probably be used up by vehicles already waiting on line.
The Southampton Hess reports having 7,817 gallons of regular left, and 889 gallons of premium. It is out of 89 octane unleaded, and diesel.
Update, 9:06 a.m. Friday:
At 8:30 a.m. Friday, more than 40 vehicles lined up for fuel at Spirit in East Quogue, including a utility truck in the area for line repairs, and the line was only getting longer.
Hess in Hampton Bays and Empire in East Quogue were all out of unleaded fuel, and had only diesel left.
Hess reported on its website that as of 7 a.m., the Southampton station had 9,799 gallons of regular left, no 89 octane left, and only 889 gallons of premium. No diesel remained.
Hampton Bays and Bridgehampton Hess station inventories was not listed.
Lines for gasoline snarled traffic on Montauk Highway in Hampton Bays Thursday evening, and on Friday morning the eastbound commute on County Road 39 in Southampton moved at a snail's pass as motorists lined up to fuel up.
In Water Mill and Bridgehampton Thursday, motorists lined up at gas stations hoping to fuel up. The scene is being played out all across Long Island after Hurricane Sandy.
Many are reporting that some stations have run out of certain grades of gasoline, if not all.
Add your photos of gas lines here, and let us know by leaving a comment below which stations have gas and which don't.

Now I still sinus rinse and neb daily. Gives me a reprieve for a day.
Stop by and say hi.
I miss the old days around here!
Wow its good to see you on here. Have been meaning to send you an email to catch up but life has been insanity--nothing NORMAL Here.
Glad to hear things have stablilized and the lungs/sinus's are behaving!!
How are those banana plants!! HE HE
We have a forest fire nearby so we have had bad air quality----lots of falling ash and smoke filled skies. So far the lungs have held strong and I've had no issues. (crossing fingers)

Hey 2 years and no pred...WOOOOOHOOOOO!!!!!!!
I had nearly 3 yrs pred free at one point but then menopausal hormones and a couple of surgeries (anesthesia tends to cause delayed flares) and we blew those numbers out of the water. I think its been a good 9 months w/o the evil pred now.....not complaining too much as its light years better than it was.
I am still on maintence of Flovent 220 and Atrovent....so compared to what I use to take that seems miniscule!
I agree I miss the old days on the boards...we really did have some good times!!
Vive Bene, Spesso L'Amore, Di Risata Molto

Mattie, you will be happy to hear that I still have the original banana plant and it's still having babies. I have them in a large pot which has been outside all summer.
Rich the NORMAL one. LOL
Good to hear from you, Rich! Glad to hear that things have been going pretty well for everyone.
I have permission from my allergist to try dropping my allergy meds (due to good results from allergy shots) but I think I'll wait until winter to try that. If I'm able to drop those then I will only be on Pulmicort. I can't remember the last time I had an asthma flare, nor the last time I was on pred.
I also miss the old boards and some of the characters that have left us (like Sally). Sure was fun.
Take care. Judy
The fibroids are still shrinking; it's supposed to take 6 months or so. Symptoms are all gone, though (yay!). It was a heck of a surgery but worth it.
This is my 6th year of shots, I'll start my 7th year in December. My allergist is one who advocates for taking them forever. He stopped them twice for himself and his symptoms came back each time, so he says if patients want they can just stay on them. His office is 5 minutes away from my home and each shot costs me only about 4 dollars, so I'll probably stay on them forever. I'm similar to you, I'm on Zyrtec, Singulair, Nasonex and Pulmicort. I will try stopping the Singulair first, I'm not sure that really does anything any more.
Unfortunately for the past week it's been too cold to ride....in the low 50s here. I've been doing more hiking than biking until it warms up again (which hopefully it will). Yesterday I hiked 6.2 miles at Starved Rock State Park in IL (south of Rockford) which was nice, but very nippy!
Take care & keep well! Judy

Former Colne nursery site to be sold for housing
1:47pm Monday 11th February 2013 in News
LAND that used to be a former day nursery in Colne is set to be sold off for housing use by Pendle Council.
The authority is to put the land around the Haverholt Day Nursery on the open market.
Glenys Barnes, from the council's property management team Liberata, said: "The land was the site of the county council's former Haverholt Day Nursery.
"The building was demolished in 2008 and the land is now an unused grassed area with some trees around the perimeter.
"The council's planning section confirms that the site is included in the Strategic Housing Land Availability Assessment and is considered to be deliverable within six to 10 years.
"This assessment is based on the current viability of similar sites.
"However, it does not stop the site coming forward sooner should the land be sold and an acceptable scheme approved."

Thread: picked out the lift kit!
picked out the lift kit!
I've settled on a 2" body lift for my blazer... that will save me WAY more money in the long run than a suspension lift and a can still fit 33s with full travel. I have the 2" leveling kit from the torsion keys, and air-shocks in the rear to help with spring sagging under load.
The rest will just be the 2" body spacing... so if anyone has any advice on this id be happy to hear it!
this is the kit:
http://www.roughcountry.com/gm-body-...t-bl10022.htmlGas was $1.83 when Obama took office.....
Looks like a good kit! Just don't forget to get an alignment done since you're maxing out the torsions. Don't mess up the steering extension and I'd find out if you need a fuel filler extension bc I didn't see one of those listed in the parts.Hotty Toddy!

Performance accessories is a decent kit.
Normally 2" wont need a fuel filler extension, if you do it as close as buying correct size fuel hose at a local auto parts along with clamps.
One extra I do on every body lift I put on is buying new fender washers and placing one under the bolt head and one between the body and puck, find the largest washer you can, something larger in size than the diameter than the pucks.
Check the rubber body bushings before starting and replace them if their checking or deteriorating.
One other item is 2" normally doesnt include bumper lifts, a good welder can fab brackets to lift the bumpers and keep them where they need to be on the body.

WEST, Texas - A town official says the area impacted by a fertilizer plant blast is safe and some residents will be allowed to return to their homes.
City Council member Steve Vanek says the first wave of residents will be allowed in beginning later Saturday. They will be subject to a curfew.
The West Fertilizer Co. exploded Wednesday, killing 14 people and injuring dozens of others. Swaths of the town were leveled, and dozens of homes damaged.
Earlier Saturday officials had said there were gas tanks leaking in the area of the explosion causing small fires, but they were contained.

Kwang Yang Motor Co., known as Kymco, began making motor scooters in 1970. The Taiwanese company introduced the Xciting line in the United States in 2006. The maxi-scooter is the company's best-selling line in this country. The Ri edition, in 250cc and 500cc models, was introduced in 2009, with new features including a tinted windscreen, fuel injection and a sportier appearance. Kymco offered three Xciting models in 2010: 250Ri, 500Ri and 500Ri ABS.
All models have three instrument gauges: analog speedometer in center spot, and a tachometer and fuel/temperature gauge on each side. Speedometer information includes time of day, engine diagnostics and the number of miles traveled. Other features include roomy under-seat storage with light, a lockable glove box, a parking brake, and folding foot pegs for the passenger. Reviewers note the Xciting is not as refined as other brands, but that is perfectly adequate for those who don't ask a lot from their two wheels. Both 500Ri models are considered touring scooters, but the 250Ri, while looking like a maxi-scooter, doesn't have quite the power for this. It can go up to 75 mph on flat roads, but has difficulty climbing hills and with stability under windy driving conditions. It may be better for scooter riders who commute, just drive around town or do short-distance highway driving. Reviews also note the Xciting's fuel usage, at 65 mpg, is less than the mileage offered by comparable brands.
All three scooters come in red and white, with the ABS also coming in pewter/silver. These three sporty models are the same, except for engine size, price and weight. These mega-scooters are made of full-body plastic and have smaller wheels than comparable brands. The scooters feature electric starts, but the side stand must be up first. The key ignition is multi-functional: it can start the engine, open the one-piece seat and even open the gas cap. The Xciting 500Ri features a fuel injection engine, capable of accelerating from zero to 60 in 10.3 seconds. Maneuverability of the long frame is better at high speeds. It has a top speed of 100 mph. ABS brakes, weighing 15 pounds, were added as an option in 2009, becoming standard with 2013 models.
Kymco discontinued the 250Ri in 2011.

Inside Clearance. By the expression inside clearance is meant the amount the steam port is uncovered by the exhaust cavity of the valve when the valve is in its central position. Formerly it was customary to have an inside lap of about 1/16 of an inch but in recent years in the development of engines which require a free exhaust at high speeds, the inside lap was reduced until now there is in some cases from 1/8 to 3/16 inches inside clearance. The effect of changing a valve from inside lap to inside clearance, other things remaining unchanged, is to hasten release and delay compression and hence to increase the interval in which the exhaust port remains open. It also permits a greater extent of exhaust port opening. As a consequence, the exhaust is freer and the back pressure is reduced, giving an advantage in the operation of the engine, which is desired at high speeds. Experiments have shown that an increase in inside clearance for high speeds will bring about an increase in the power of the locomotive, but an increase in inside clearance at slow speeds entails a loss of power and a decrease in efficiency. The loss in power at low speeds, due to inside clearance, is greater at short cut-offs and diminishes as the cutoff is increased. Tests have shown that at moderate speeds, say, 40 to 50 miles per hour, all disadvantages are overcome.
Requirements. The valve motion of a locomotive engine must meet the following regulations:
- It must be so constructed as to impart a motion to the valve which will permit the engine to be operated in either direction.
- It must be operative when the engine is running at a high or low speed and when starting a heavy load.
- It should be simple in construction and easily kept in order.
A number of valve gears have been developed which fulfill these requirements more or less satisfactorily, such as the Stephenson, the Walschaert, the Joy, and the fixed link, the Stephenson gear being the one most commonly used in the United States. A study will be made of the Stephenson and Walschaert gears, the latter resembling in some respects the Joy valve gear. The Walschaert gear has been extensively used in Europe for many years and of late years has become quite common in America. There are a few modifications of the Stephenson gear which have been made to meet structural requirements but the great majority of American engines are fitted with a device as illustrated in Fig. 64. The action of this device is fully explained in the article on "Valve Gears."

A woman accused of swiping tampons, Crystal Light and other items got locked up after police found her trying to hide in a cardboard box, according to recently released records.
Alyson Strosser, 47, was arrested Jan. 25 in connection with the Dec. 14 caper at a CVS store in the 9100 block of South U.S. 1 in Port St. Lucie.
A store manager told Port St. Lucie police he spotted a woman loading items identified as Sutter Home wine, Tampax tampons, laundry detergent, cosmetic items, Crystal Light drink mix and nail polish in a book bag, records show.
The manager confronted the woman, who emptied the floral print book bag and fled in a Ford Explorer.
Police linked Strosser to the Explorer and found the vehicle at her home in the 2200 block of Southeast Flanders Road in Port St. Lucie.

CHARLOTTE, N.C. -- The firing alone was news. The boss of more than a thousand Mecklenburg County workers – one of the largest departments other than the schools.
But the timing left County Commissioners scratching their heads – Tuesday, the first day of the long-awaited Democratic National Convention. And County Manager Harry Jones contributed to the mystery by not taking questions about his reason for sacking DSS Director Mary Wilson right in the midst of the DNC .
Jones hired Mary Wilson as the first African-American to lead the DSS in 2008 just as the county sailed off into the great recession.
One of her first decisions was to redecorate her office to the tune of about $20,000. It included new crown molding, furniture, curtains and a flat panel television. Wilson told the I-Team the office had not been redecorated in years and, "My thought was to really make it more welcoming."
It was not the last questionable expense. Wilson invited all eleven hundred DSS employees to a holiday party at county expense held at her church – Friendship Missionary Baptist on Beatties Ford Road. That party cost the taxpayers another $20,000.
Wilson courted more controversy by hiring the relatives of a series of high-profile local officials including the daughter of Charlotte Police Chief Rodney Monroe and the wife of then-councilman Anthony Foxx. Foxx was then running for Mayor and his wife was hired after the six-figure job was posted for only one day.
More recently there were other signs of internal problems at DSS. The head of Youth and Family Services began reporting directly to a General Manager at the County, bypassing Wilson. A county spokesman called it a "personnel issue" and declined to give a reason.
Even so the firing in the midst of the DNC caught Mecklenburg County Commissioners off guard.
"I was floored," said Commissioner Bill James. "I was really surprised – not so much that these things don't happen – but that such a high level, African American member of the leadership, one of the top five, would get sacked right in the middle of the Democratic National Convention."
Jones is not talking about the reason behind the firing calling it a personnel matter.
And Wilson is apparently planning to appeal her termination.
"When people ask me, 'Did Mary do her job?' from my perspective she did," said James.
The County is withholding documents and records including the termination letter pending the completion of the appeal, according to a county spokesman.

PYA launches health-care reform website
Knoxville-based Pershing Yoakley & Associates has created a free, interactive website aimed at providing visitors with comprehensive health-care reform information.
The site called PYA ReformLoupe and created in partnership with Bluegill Creative continuously updates news stories, blogs, social network sites and other Internet information that can be customized to what users want to see.
The public accounting and healthcare consulting firm originally planned to limit access to the site to physicians and health care executives but quickly realized it should be made available to everyone, PYA President Ed Pershing said.
"It's a very useful tool for those of us trying to stay on top of health-care reform," Pershing said.

It may not be enough to just call Gary Haworth lucky.
On August 20, Haworth was driving to his St. Peters home after a day working at a Commerce Bank call center in Creve Coeur, talking to his wife Laurie about making a stop at the grocery store on the way.
The line went dead as Gary was on the Page Avenue extension in St. Charles. Laurie thought he had dropped the phone, but couldn't reach him via OnStar either. Instead she got another call later, telling her that he'd been in a car accident.
Gary had suffered a heart attack.
But thanks to the incredible fortune of having the right bystanders and the right first responders, Gary Haworth is alive today to thank those who made it possible.
He says he remembers nothing about the accident itself.
"I just remember leaving work and everything was fine, I had no symptoms."
Laurie Haworth said those on the scene told her that Gary hit a median, swerved back out into traffic, and then hit the median again, without being impacted by other traffic. But the luck didn't stop there. Hospital officials said passersby who assisted included a relative of a first responder, a retired firefighter and a nurse, who helped Maryland Heights Police officers use an AED to charge Gary's heart.
Then came a Monarch Fire Protection District crew from the station house on Olive Boulevard near Fee Fee Rd in Creve Coeur, which got Gary out of the car, and had him at Mercy Hospital's Emeregency Room in 22 minutes. A few hours later, Gary had quadruple bypass surgery.
Members from that crew got to meet Gary and Laurie for the first time since the accident in a brief reunion Monday afternoon at Mercy, where Gary is in his third week of a 12 week outpatient rehab program. He's back at work, and has also lost 35 pounds.
"Someone was watching over him all the way, and we're just very thankful for all of that," Laurie said in recounting what happened. It is an experience she also shared with during her new employee orientation at the hospital Monday, her first day on the job. She ran into a former colleague from another job in the days after Gary was hospitalized, and she now works in the hospital's telemedicine unit.
"Yours is one of those remarkable cases that show when all the pieces of the puzzle come together, what a good outcome that we can have from the initial citizen response and the bystanders that came and the police officers that had the AEDs and then the fire department that showed up," said Dana Buckley, an engineer on the Monarch team.
Monarch Captain Chris Overy said they were all floored when they saw a picture of how Gary looked 12 days after the accident considering the circumstances when they met the first time. They were appreciative of seeing the fruit of their labor back on his feet and getting a second chance at life, saying it reinforced what they do on a daily basis.

Despite minor flaws, Hunger Games worthy adaptationBy Rod Pocowatchit
The Wichita Eagle
The Hunger Games is a veritible hit, smashing box office records and earning more than $250 million domestically (according to boxofficemojo.com) since opening on March 23. The film seems to show no signs of slowing down, either, and is predicted to eventually earn about $350 million domestically.
The story takes place in the post-apocalyptic ruins of North America, in what is now known as Panem. Each year, a lottery is held and two children each from 12 districts are forced to participate in a televised fight to the death, with the last survivor being the victor.
Jennifer Lawrence (an Oscar nominee for Winters Bone) stars as heroine Katniss Everdeen, who volunteers to participate in the games instead of her younger sister, whose name is actually drawn. We follow Katniss as she trains for the death match and finally enters battle. Theres also a love story, of sorts, along the way involving Peeta Mellark (Josh Hutcherson), the other teen chosen to represent their district in the games.
I thought the film was a pretty faithful adaptation of the young-adult book by Suzanne Collins (the first in a trilogy, followed by Catching Fire and Mockingjay), at least in terms of what happens. The film doesnt however, capture the novels symbolism or emotional impact.
In fact, while I enjoyed seeing the book come to life on screen, its rather methodical. Everything pre-games lacks urgency, which is strange. These kids are training for a fight to the death!
While the screenplay by Collins, director Gary Ross and Billy Ray has the kids saying they know they may die, the film doesnt portray them as being consumed with overwhelming fear, as one might be in this situation.
Its as if the film were afraid to embrace its darkness, for fear of losing young fans of the book. Actually, I keep getting asked by parents if they should let their young teenagers see The Hunger Games. And it makes me think that my problems with the film are exactly what makes it OK for younger viewers (especially in this day and age).
While The Hunger Games has a grisly, horrific premise, the film actually doesnt dwell on this. In fact, most of the killings are done swiftly and matter-of-factly, not overly gory or with heightened tension. When the film finally is set during the games, director Ross employs overly shaky camerawork that makes it hard to tell whats going on, anyway (frustratingly so).
So I say if your child can handle the book, then he or she most certainly can handle the film, although I wouldnt recommend it for small children. I was shocked to see parents with grade-school-age kids in the audience this isnt a kiddie comedy, folks. People children die.
Overall, in the end, I thought the film was good, but a tad safe. We do sympathize and root for the characters, thanks to good performances, particularly by Lawrence there is undeniable emotional investment.
While it is thrilling, its just not absolutely riveting. And it should have been.Reach Rod Pocowatchit at firstname.lastname@example.com.

Study Of Bank-Robbing Shows It Isn't A Lucrative Job
By editor
A team of economists studied bank heists in the U.S. and U.K. to figure out whether bank robbery is a lucrative profession. The research, published in the journal Significance, found the average takeaway per robber is about $4,000 in the U.S. There's a much better return in the U.K., closer to $20,000.

An online journal about visual art, the urban landscape and design. Mary Louise Schumacher, the Journal Sentinel's art and architecture critic, leads the discussion and a community of writers contribute to the dialogue.
Another first for Santiago Calatrava
Santiago Calatrava's first U.S. building -- the Milwaukee Art Museum -- may be what made him famous in this part of the world. But in Europe the Spanish architect has long been known for his gorgeous bridges. It is what he does best, by some accounts.
Calatrava's first vehicular bridge in the U.S. has just celebrated with a grand opening -- though not actually opened for cars, just yet. The six-lane Margaret Hunt Hill Bridge is already being called an icon for Dallas.
Calatrava was commissioned to design five bridges to cross the Trinity River nearly 15 years ago. Budget cuts have reduced that number to three and plans for the remaining two bridges have been scaled back.
Calatrava himself was among the first to cross the new, $182 million bridge over the weekend along with builders, civic leaders and thousands of people, according to news reports. Dallas contributed $28 million to the project. Federal and state agencies, as well as private sources, provided additional funding.
It's expected that about 14,000 cars will cross the 1,870-foot bridge, with a 400-foot rising arch, each day. The bridge may be opened for traffic by month's end, according to news reports.
Calatrava, who has offices in New York, Paris, Zurich and Valencia, Spain, has not returned to the Milwaukee Art Museum since the year the expansion was opened. He was scheduled to attend a 10th anniversary celebration last fall, but was unable to come to Milwaukee due to a serious personal emergency. In an interview at the time, he said he hoped to return to revisit MAM's Quadracci Pavilion when he was in the country and able to make time. With many ongoing projects, he has not been able to schedule a visit as yet, MAM officials said.
Here is a good piece from Architectural Record about the bridge.

Car Forums / Ford / Ford Focus
Howdy, Stranger!
It looks like you're new here. If you want to get involved, click one of these buttons!
Ford Focus Prices Paid and Buying Experience
Don't know, but might make sense to look into buying the Focus by 4/2 anyway and just have two cars for 2-3 weeks until you turn the Civic in. Worst case is probably just having to pay insurance for 2 cars during that short time. First payments on car loans are usually a month after taking delivery so you wouldn't necessarily be doubling up car payments that month.
Or see if you can turn the Civic in a few weeks early. Whatever nominal charge there is would be worth it so you don't miss out on the $2,000 rebate.
That is outrageous! There must be at least 1 more Ford dealer within 50 miles of you. Go there. These guys obviously don't want to do business. Most people are getting their Focus's for at least $1,000 under sticker (not including the rebate) so you'd be paying almost $3,000 above market at this dealership.
I can see the ads in the paper with all the discounts for the focus - but car dealers are always praying for the uninformed buyer to show up with check book in hand. It's very old school to have dealer mark up on a window sticker this day and age. It's also a weird game of sharades when you point out the $2,900 dealer mark up and ask "what's up with that?" and they think you're ready to buy because you brought up the price.
Even the Hundai Elantra doesn't put a mark up on their cars - and they are in demand big time.
"Even the Hundai Elantra doesn't put a mark up on their cars - and they are in demand big time. "
In my area dealers are putting big markups on both the Elantra and Civic. Don't know if they're getting that markup. The Honda dealer also puts several thousand dollars worth of dealer add-ons to every car on the lot (e.g. pinstrips, mudflaps, and other useless crap) that is supposedly non-negotiable. Ridiculous.
fushigi Posts: 1,232kam, you hit the nail on the head. Manufacturers do not mark up their cars above MSRP. Why would they when they could just raise MSRP to begin with? Dealers are the ones who mark up the cars.
IMO, regardless of make or demand, if I saw an ADM (Additional Dealer Markup) sticker on a car I'd point it out to the salesperson, laugh, turn around, and leave. No car is worth more than list price.
If that's Sunnyvale, CA, I used to live there and the average income is over 100k...they're looking for well-to-do engineers who are not car-savvy. But there are plenty of other options for Ford in the area.
In any case, out here in Minnesota I just bought a Focus Titanium for about $3000 under sticker at a no-haggle dealership in the Twin Cities. Love it. About half our dealerships here have gone to no haggle, and pricing is getting more aggressive as the no-haggle marketplace starts to price itself more dynamically.
"In any case, out here in Minnesota I just bought a Focus Titanium for about $3000 under sticker at a no-haggle dealership in the Twin Cities."
Gotta say I don't understand the concept of "no haggle." If a dealer is advertising a car for a certain price I can guarantee you there is some profit in there and therefore some room to haggle, or at least to try. Many dealers will sell at invoice or even below in certain circumstances, such as the end of the month and they're trying to meet a sales target.
Did you finance with Ford and therefore get $2,000 in rebates? If so then the dealer effectively sold it to you for $1,000 under sticker and they probably made $1,200 on the deal including dealer holdback, plus whatever other volume incentives they were shooting for.
Always Haggle!
When a dealer makes a profit on a car selling below invoice, and they do, it tells you there's all kinds of incentives you may or may not know about.
when a dealer negotiates from MSRP down - they stand to make a nice profit.
when a dealer negotiates with a mark up of 15% over MSRP, it's just rediculous - because Ford and GM are kings of making a mockery of MSRP.
There are so many ads in the paper from Ford and GM that never mention price, but will loudly pump "deals" that state $5,000 off MSRP!!! on every......in stock. That's enough to tell me that not only is dealer mark up a joke but so to is MSRP.
erzeszut Posts: 16Yep. Always, always haggle. Even the places that famously claim (or claimed) "no haggle" would be willing to wheel and deal at the right time of the month, on the right vehicle.
In years past, I negotiated discounts at Saturn dealerships and at CarMax, both of whom claim(ed) to be "no haggle."
Don't believe it!
I just bought a focus titanium with all options except the sport package and parking package. Dealer was "no haggle" and their pricing method seemed to be to start with invoice and subtract incentives off of that. So obviously invoice prices are drastically inflated.
There was a small additional discount below invoice, but basically the price was invoice minus incentives, which for me were about $1500.
This was in the Minneapolis area in March 2012.
Starting at dealer invoice is always good. Holdback for a loaded Titanium is around $800 so that's one place the dealer is getting money on the sale. Did they charge you a "dealer fee" or whatever name they gave it, usually $500-$600? That's another profit center. I look for the dealers that don't charge such a fee, which are few and far between.

2012 SE hatchback manual transmission with 203A package, sport package, winter package, and 17" alloy wheel upgrade. MSRP was $21140, which reflects the new pricing with "no charge sync" discount of $395 and "SE sport regional discount" of $515.
Price paid was $18240 (+tax and tags), so the $1500 rebate plus a $1400 dealer discount. The $750 trade assist promotion is over, but the rebate went up from $1000 to $1500 this month. Also did not qualify for the $500 private offer mentioned above (even though I'd requested several brochures - no coupon included...)
In addition to the above, I got slightly above KBB trade-in value for "good" condition, and the Focus had to be located/brought in from another dealer.
I've got to disagree with the post above about just relying on the TMV prices - the TMV price for the Focus was $19405 ($1165 higher), mainly because the pricing on the site is not updated with the latest sync and sport package discounts. Also, the TMV trade-in value was about $500 lower than my reference point from KBB. I guess there's not one perfect site, but point is just to collect several data points from multiple sites and shoot for a reasonable target.
Sure - I'm in eastern PA. Will post the dealer info on Tuesday - after I've picked it up - assuming everything continues to go well.
Something not mentioned above was that I got a few other quotes from other local dealers as part of the process. We can get X-plan pricing through my company, and I made the mistake of mentioning that for one of the quotes. The X-plan price stinks! It was a discount of just $905, plus same rebates. Stuck to traditional price requests without mentioning X-plan for the rest of the dealers...
billy3554 Posts: 147People using TMV to price a new vehicle should consider it is more of an average price paid rather than the rock bottom price which can be expected. Average means half pay more but half pay less. While TMV will yield a decent price, especially for people who do not enjoy the art of the deal, I would prefer to be in the half which pays less. I have accessed TMV for years and found it quite useful. However, I have always found a better price with a bit of work.

Books-A-Million has joined the growing number of parties objecting to the Department of Justice's agreement with Simon & Schuster, Hachette and HarperCollins to settle the department's e-book price fixing lawsuit. BAM's letter, signed by president and CEO Terry Finley, strikes especially hard at the provisions in the settlement that would impose restrictions on how the publishers can do business with all third parties (including BAM) that were not involved in the lawsuit. If the restrictions on the agency model are upheld, it will "provide Amazon the opportunity to revert to its anti-competitive e-book pricing strategy which will place additional pressure on brick-and-mortar stores," Finley argued.

- It speaks to the talent of this team that the difference between a loss and a win yesterday was likely the inches between Shin-Shoo Choo's glove and the ground on Beltre's fly in the ninth. Or the decision to keep Colby in the game versus Damon. That said...
- Yesterday and Wednesday are neck and neck for the ugliest outings of the young season. Three straight series lost, and 4-6 over the last ten. It seems that nothing's going right for the team right now, outside of Beltre's three-run shot in the 11th on Friday. That, and the bullpen.
- Mike Young has scared me for years, as I thought it was likely he would take up 20% of the payroll while declining from good to mediocre. Luckily, though, the teams payroll has jumped far higher than I thought it would be, so that 20% thing is blown out of the water. But the decline? We may be in the middle of that. Young's hitting balls on the ground 54 per cent of the time now- by far, the highest of his career and 8 per cent higher than his career average. You might say 'Small Sample Size!', but Young is 116 Plate Appearances into the year, and GB% tends to stabiilze by 200 PA's. You can estimate how regression will effect it by subbing in his career rate over the next 84 PAs- but that would still give you the highest GB rate of his career.
- There's a reason- and a good one- why I love pitchers who get a lot of groundballs. Grounders turn into singles a good amount of the time, and the occasionally turn into doubles- but they very, very rarely get past that, and turn into outs more often than anything else. Ergo, a batter putting the ball on the ground- rather than a liner or a flyball- isn't ideal.
There's more warning signs with Young. He's swinging at pitches outside of the zone almost 38 per cent of the time, whereas the league average is 29.4%. There's an old scouting adage about bat speed failing in older players, which leads to them guessing, which leads to them chasing. I'm not saying that's happening, but if I had to read the tea leaves, that would be the safest guess.
- If you want good news, I've been predicting Young's demise for about three years straight, and it hasn't happened yet.
- Of course, Young still has good end results for the season as a whole (I'll take a .759 OPS, 341 wOBA/ 114 wRC+ as good) to go with the scary peripherals. Nelson Cruz can't really even claim good peripherals this year, and his results have been terrible (.593 OPS, 267 wOBA/61 wRC+).
***Average, on wRC+, is 100. Nelson Cruz has a 61. Average is 100. Nelson Cruz has a 61.***
What's weird is that Cruz is swinging at pitches outside the zone only 25% of the time (compared to his career average of 31%). To me, I'm reading that teams are challenging Cruz inside the zone (where he's swinging an unfathomable 73% of pitches) and he's not able to make them pay right now. Nelson Cruz, though, is always just a flip of the switch away from being one of the scariest baseball players on the planet. As long as that switch is still there, though.
- Yu Darvish was astounding yesterday. He had about no real command, yet only served up one meatball pitch (that Jason Kipnis deposited in the left field bleachers) and struck out 11 batters with a curve that seemed to exist only to embarrass hitters. Basically, he walked out with one solid tool and turned out a quality start that should have looked much better outside bad-to-questionable defense in one inning. If that's him at his worst (and we likely haven't yet really seen him at his best) then he's one of the strongest pitchers in the American League, easily.
- After a one-day scare to the whole baseball world, Mariano Rivera confirmed that he would come back next year. This is good news, because despite the fact that I hate the laundry he wears, Mariano Rivera is good for baseball and one of this generation's most special players. It's also good news for Rangers fans as his salary returning next year will further hamstring the Yankees financially (I know, it's a strange new world with the current CBA), which weakens them and could lead to a player like Nick Swisher escaping the Apple and moving to Arlington- which could make the Rangers better in several different scenarios.
* If you can keep a secret- Koji Uehara has retired the last fifteen batters he has faced, in order.*
Joseph Ursery has informed WFAA management that he is prepared for the backlash guaranteed by saying something bad about Micheal Young. His twitter account, @thejoeursery, is waiting there, shirt off, yelling 'Come at me bro'. WFAA neither encourages nor discourages you to come at him.

Is 'the new physics' here? Atom smashers get a big surprise!!! The world's largest atom smasher, the Large Hadron Collider, the 17-mile (27 km) circular particle accelerator underground near Geneva, Switzerland, is designed as a portal to a new view of physics. And it has produced its first peek at the unexpected: bits of matter that don't mirror the behavior of their antimatter counterparts.
The discovery, if confirmed, could rewrite the known laws of particle physics and help explain why our universe is made mostly of matter and not antimatter. Here's a great documentary of the Large Hadron Collider

But cannot wait to see the LP, and so happy for Jeremy!
But cannot wait to see the LP, and so happy for Jeremy!
Update on Jeremy's stepfather in San Jose as of last night: http://www.mercurynews.com/breaking-news/ci_19856121
"What is important is I am doing well," said the host of a Saturday morning jazz show in Denver. "The real story is Jeremy Abbott. I'm just a hiccup."
Scott plans to watch his stepson compete next month at the prestigious Four Continent Championships in their hometown of Colorado Springs, Colo.
Vagabond, the "fan" who always "calls out" before Jeremy skates is his stepfather, Mr. Scott.
Now that I know that, it doesn't disturb me at all!
Jeremy's concentration would probably be disturbed if he didn't hear that.
I'm so glad to hear Mr. Scott is doing fine!
I was there live, in the upper levels, and I didn't notice anything. I was too entranced by Jeremy's program. I was over the moon that he skated it well!
I was there just four rows behind the family.
In my spare time, I like to interview figure skating legends.
I always knew Jeremy was quite musical and had great dance ability, but for some reason, I never really realized how good he was until this week. The way he moves with the music is incredible, and his choreography is 3x that of the top ice dance teams. The pause in his LP straightline step sequence this year has to be one of my favorite moments in a program ever. He's just so easy to watch. This is COP done right, IMO.
After watching Jeremy at the nationals last weekend, I have become an uber fan. His LP performance was magical.
I was so glad that Jeremy aced both programs at Nationals! He was wonderful, and I hope he aces his programs at 4CC and Worlds.

"Marge, if you're going to get mad at me every time I do something stupid, then I guess I'm just going to have to stop doing stupid things!" - Homer Simpson in the Mr. Plow episode
I was just showing his programs to a friend and talking about how amazing he was when I saw this post pop up in my inbox. Really hope he recovers fully and is ready for Worlds.
The bad part about the injury this late in the season is he is going to lose valuable practice time, even if he does heal by worlds. Not sure how much time he is going to miss, but if it is something like 2 weeks, that's huge when you are that close to worlds.
Get healthy soon, Jeremy!
Heal quickly, Jeremy!
After all he went through to get there, it would be a shame if he missed Worlds.
I'm sure that he will be there, if at all possible.
This Detroit Free Press article mentions "back spasms that have also affected his right hip": Jeremy Abbott withdraws from Four Continents Championship due to back spasms
"Thankfully, it's not a major injury -- his back sort of spasmed up a bit," Sato said Friday night. "I think it's from a stressful couple of weeks. We don't think it's the smartest thing to push him and make him skate in Colorado Springs. We should rest his back and get him ready for worlds."
Sato said Abbott's back has tightened up in the past, a condition that's usually brought on "only when he's really tired."
She said that Abbott will likely still travel to Colorado Springs next week to undergo a physical at the U.S. Olympic Training Center. Sato said he also wants to visit his family
A small hint of what a wonderful family this is: the quote in the local paper from Allen Scott that his health was "merely a hiccup...the real story is Jeremy Abbott."
