New ownership has created a nightmare for low-income residents of a Ballard apartment complex.
"About six weeks ago they started ripping down the siding on this building, doing construction and at that point rumors started," said Tavish Donahue, a tenant.
The Lockhaven Apartments were sold to "Pinnacle Family of Companies" this summer. Tenants were given notices to vacate their homes within 20 days, which was eventually ruled as illegal.
All tenants will now have six months to relocate so the property can undergo extensive renovations, including new amenities like granite top counters, two new fitness centers and a yoga studio.
"That's sick, it's ridiculous," said Beverly Gibson, who's lived at the complex since 2008.
Gibson, 82, pays about $800 a month for her one bedroom apartment. After the renovations, her rent will nearly double. She only gets $1,000 from Social Security.
"It will cost $1,000 just to move, I'm not sure what I can do," she said.
Many like Gibson are on a fixed-income and are fighting relocation because they can't afford Seattle's rising apartment rates.
According to Dupre + Scott, a local apartment research firm, the average asking price for a one bedroom Seattle apartment built in the last six years is $1,802 a month. The price is an increase of 8.3% since last year.
"The rent here has gotten so high," said Donahue.
Rents are expected to increase another 3 percent through March.
"Just yesterday I found a letter about the tenants union organizing," said Donahue.
Some tenants have already found new places to live. But other residents are fighting relocation because they call Lockhaven some of the last affordable housing in Ballard, located near vital public services.
"I need to be near a bus, food, that's downtown," said Gibson.
Many like Gibson are disappointed looking at the future, where she says profits are more important than people.
"We need inexpensive places to live and this used to be," said Gibson.
Low-income tenants are getting about $3,000 to help them relocate, paid for by the City of Seattle and the new owners, who couldn't be reached for comment.
Statement released on behalf of Lockhaven:
"On behalf of Lockhaven Apartments, first and foremost, we want to confirm the well-being of our residents is of utmost importance.
It is correct that Lockhaven Apartments is undergoing improvements that will require the majority of residents to relocate. Relocations will occur in phases over six months. The first set of moves will begin in approximately six months; however some residents may not be relocated for almost a year.
The story incorrectly names Pinnacle Family of Companies as owners of Lockhaven Apartments. On Aug 26, Pinnacle took over management of Lockhaven, however the property is owned by a third-party.
There was some miscommunication with a very small percentage of residents about the relocation process. We apologize for the confusion this caused, and immediately worked with The City of Seattle to correct this mistake and provide residents with the correct information.
It is the goal of Lockhaven staff to work with residents to find the least expensive housing options in Ballard. We will continue providing residents with information and resources during the relocations process.
If residents have questions or concerns, they are urged to visit or call the Business Office from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. To accommodate residents the Business Office will remain open until 8 p.m. on Tuesday, Oct. 1 and Thursday, Oct. 3, to answer questions and address concerns. During these times residents can also pick up City of Seattle relocation packets, which enable them to apply for assistance."

On this date in 1944 FDR signed the Servicemen's Readjustment Act, which provided financial aid to veterans for education, housing, and other needs; it eventually became known as the G. I. Bill of Rights.
As the Miller Center's Presidential Classroom exhibit explains, the G.I. Bill gave benefits to returning World War II veterans to help spur the postwar economy. Honorally-discharged veterans could receive unemployment compensation for up to a year, attend college or vocational school, and receive loans to start their own businesses or buy homes.
Today, sixty-nine years after it was signed into law, the G.I. Bill is still in existence. You can read and listen to FDR's vision for the G.I. Bill in this June 28, 1943 Fireside Chat 25.

'Tis the season for college decision letters and financial aid forms. Acceptance rates have decreased, as more students vie for fewer spots. Even with increased competition, getting into college may be easier than paying for it. Over the past five years, tuitions rose more than inflation. According to the College Board, the average sticker price for a full-time, first year student at a four-year private university was $28,500 in 2011-12. To make college more affordable:
1) Submit Financial Aid Forms Early
The New Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) became available on January 1st at http://www.fafsa.ed.gov. In 2011, there were more than ten million financial aid applicants. The College Board reported that the average student received more than $12,400 in federal government grants, loans, or other aid. Hundreds of private universities also require the College Board's CSS/Financial Aid PROFILE to determine non-federal aid. Complete the PROFILE online at https://profileonline.collegeboard.org/ to get your share.
2) Apply for Free Money
Grants and scholarships are not repaid. Grants are need-based, while scholarships often depend on criteria, such academic and athletic achievements or intended major (like marine biology). The Pell Grant is the most popular federal grant and requires a comparison of the Expected Family Contribution (found on the FAFSA) to the Cost of Attendance (COA). Apply for many grants and scholarships, renew them, and beware of scholarship scams. According to the College Board, students received $112 billion in gift aid in 2011-12. For more information on grants and scholarships, visit http://www.fafsaonline.com/college-grants/ and http://www.studentscholarshipsearch.com.
3) Compare Apples to Apples
Weigh the costs and benefits of college choices. Explore community, public and private college options. Then, make the decision that is right for you. Compare the net prices (and financial aid packages) of each option. Net price is the sticker price (or published price) minus gift aid. This is the actual price that you pay. The College Board reported that the $28,500 sticker price for a private university has an actual net price of $12,970. For public colleges, the sticker price was $8,240, but the net price was $2,490. Use the net price calculator on college websites to find out the net price (and gift aid) estimates of your college options.
4) Help Others
Lower college costs through volunteer work, military service, and public interest or non-profit jobs in teaching, medicine, and law. For example, consider the TEACH grant and AmeriCorps. The TEACH grant awards up to $4,000 per year to education students, who will teach in high-demand fields (like science) for four years in low-income areas. AmeriCorps provides up to $7,400 in stipends and $4,725 in loan forgiveness for a twelve-month service. Know the financial consequences for leaving any program without completing its terms – such as converting grants to direct unsubsidized loans that students must repay with interest.
5) Graduate in Less Time
Reduce billable college time with Advanced Placement (AP) and summer session college credits. Students earn graduation credits at most American four-year colleges based on their AP scores. According to the College Board, colleges in more than 60 other countries also accept AP credits. Students can use these credits to meet graduation requirements in less time. Summer session credits also shorten the number of years spent in college. Less expensive summer colleges further reduce overall college expenses. Use AP and summer session credits to graduate early, reduce the number of billable college years, and join the work force faster.
"A Bachelor's degree is the second biggest investment people make in their lives after buying a home. Both parents and students should take the time to invest in the right college for the right price," states Joe Reister, Head College Advisor, Strivenow.com.

A Gig Harbor psychologist who failed to immediately fess up that a prostitute stole his laptop with medical information about 652 state Department of Social and Health Services clients must undergo a mental health evaluation if he wants to practice again.
Sunil Kakar was suspended in October on charges ranging from unprofessional conduct to failure to provide security safeguards. He remains suspended for not protecting sensitive client information, according to records.
A prostitute stole his laptop last February while he went to an ATM but he didnt report the theft for five days, which violated his contract with DSHS.
Kakar initially told police somebody took the laptop out of his truck while he was with a friend but eventually admitted that a prostitute stole it. The laptop was later recovered at a pawn shop.
Officials said the privileged medical information, which included psychological evaluations and mental incapacity exams, didnt appear to have been accessed.
Kakar later sent an apology letter to the affected clients. He also released the following statement to The News Tribune:
"I am thankful my actions did not result in more serious harm. Mostly I have embarrassed myself, my family, my colleagues, and my profession. My conduct has been unprofessional. To those whom I have hurt, I am deeply apologetic and I would like to say publicly I am sorry. I take full responsibility for my actions and am seeking the appropriate guidance from the profession I believe in to rebuild the public trust."
The state said Kakar also remains suspended because he failed to take part in a required substance abuse monitoring program ordered after an April 2011 incident for which he was charged with unprofessional conduct.
In that case, he showed unusual behaviors at a prison where he worked. He refused to leave an area where a prisoner was about to be strip-searched, threatened to beat up the boyfriend of another prisoner and ate food left for a prisoner, documents show.
Kakar was admitted to a mental health unit 10 days later and released after agreeing to seek help for alcohol and marijuana dependency. He later pleaded guilty to second-degree negligent driving related to a July 2011 arrest for driving under the influence.
Kakar was licensed as a psychologist in 2004.

For the past several years, members of the College's Economic Empowerment and Global Learning Project (EEGLP) have collaborated with rural villages in the Yoro region of Honduras and the Honduran national coffee board to help the villagers build a 30,000-plant coffee plantation. The first 15,000 plants are now harvested and ready to be sold. Sergio Aguilar, the board's coordinator for the Cortes and Yoro regions, spent a week in Easton and New York City, interacting with students, speaking on campus, and meeting with prospective coffee importers in New York. A group of EEGLP students and faculty accompanied Aguilar during the trip, including art major Hannah Rhadigan '11 (Lapeer, Mich.), who documented the experience through photos and the following account.
The members of EEGLP have been working very hard in Honduras over the past four years to help rural communities become the economic drivers of their own lives, and the relationship created with Sergío Aguilar has been a driving force behind our continued success in the country. With coffee farming being the main focus of our project, Sergío's expertise in agricultural engineering, coupled with his knowledge and connections in the Honduran coffee industry, have been a very important asset in improving the economic future of the small rural village of Lagunitas, Honduras.
Sergío's visit to Easton was an exciting time for EEGLP and marked an important step in our current work as we begin to bring the project to a close. Though we are closing one project in Honduras, we have been asked by Sergío to again partner with him as he works with new reforestation projects.
I believe one of the largest necessities in a project like this is gaining the trust and respect of the community you are working with. We ask a lot from each community, and in order for our work to be successful the members involved must be fully committed. It is a reciprocal relationship, and the community members have to want to better their lives and put in the work to do it.
Once this relationship is established, keeping it is yet another challenge, and only being able to visit the community a few times each year makes it even more challenging. The relationship we have created with Sergío has helped combat this problem, and he is able to keep us connected and give us updates on the project while we are away. In the beginning of the project, we were the ones contacting people and trying to put together some kind of plan. To now have our work respected and valued enough that people are coming to us is a feeling of success that I do not think I would have ever expected.
With bringing Sergío to campus this fall, we are continuing to build this relationship, as well as give other individuals around campus the opportunity to get involved. When we travel to Honduras, Sergío has always been our main contact and took time out of his schedule to help us in any way he could; it was very nice to now have the opportunity to do the same for him. I most enjoyed sitting back and watching him talk with other people and seeing the passion behind his work. He truly loves his country and is doing all he can to help better its future.
With our work in the communities, one of our long-term goals is to no longer be needed, to have the ability to walk away from a community because they have everything under control. We are beginning to get this feeling in Lagunitas, and this also happened with Sergío. This made his trip even more significant and really drove home to me that the work we have been doing has generated much more. We are no longer just helping one rural community, we are branching out to many other individuals and it is only continuing to grow.
What we do at Lafayette can continue far beyond our few years here and with graduation coming closer each passing day, I am seeing this more and more. Sergío's visit reinforced the fact that once I am no longer at Lafayette and part of EEGLP, the work will continue and it has the potential to grow into something much larger than I ever expected.

Risk of further flooding as more heavy rainfall is forecast
12:06pm Tuesday 4th February 2014 in News
HEAVY rain is forecast across the South East including Oxfordshire over the next ten days.
The Environment Agency is warning people to prepare for the risk of flooding.
Rivers across the South East, including the River Thames, are rising and with more rainfall expected over the next four days there is a further chance of flooding.
Dave Bedlington, flood risk manager at the Environment Agency, said: "The forecast suggests that a lot of rain could fall across the South East over the next few days, and with river and groundwater levels already high and responsive this could lead to further property flooding in the coming days.
"Environment Agency teams are working round the clock to prepare for the rainfall by operating pumping stations, issuing Flood Warnings, and checking that flood banks, walls, and barriers are working effectively."

One new case of the mumps was reported today bringing the total number to 16 cases.
Health officials say tests have confirmed three of the 15 people who developed symptoms of mumps, do in fact have the virus.
Twelve of the 16 possible cases are University of Virginia Students. The first case was reported on September 22nd.
All of the cases involve people who had been vaccinated.
Thomas Jefferson Health District Director Dr. Lilian Peake said, "While vaccination is the best way to prevent the disease, it is not always 100 percent effective. Up to 10-percent of fully vaccinated people may remain susceptible."
Doctors are working to positively identify the other suspected cases.

I write about enterprise innovation.
Nokia's release of specs for 3D printing of the Lumia phone-shell comes with a promise of more. The phone maker envisages a time when phones will be considerably more customizable – throwing down a challenge to Apple and Samsung to move beyond the current design and production paradigm.
The move was announced yesterday on the company's developer blog. Apart from the boon to 3D printing it brings mobile telephony to an interesting fork in the road. After all, what the phone maker is really saying is – we don't want to make and distribute the phones, we want someone local to do that.
So it is a marker for future local production as well and a pivot point for business ecosystems. To date most ecosystems have been software based but clearly there is an appetite t create hardware ecosystems too.
That systemic innovation take Nokia into Apple territory, and suggests Apple is once again slow to make a second major move. Apple revolutionized corporate structures with its massive developer ecosystem, a topic covered here in The Elastic Enterprise.
Here is Nokia's explanation.
"In the future, I envision wildly more modular and customisable phones," he continued. "Perhaps in addition to our own beautifully designed phones, we could sell some kind of phone template and entrepreneurs the world over could build a local business on building phones precisely tailored to the needs of his or her local community. You want a waterproof, glow-in-the-dark phone with a bottle-opener and a solar charger? Someone can build it for you — or you can print it yourself! "
It's the largest affirmation of 3-D printing by a major corporation thus far, bringing the world of on-demand product generation and customization one step closer to the desktops of consumers worldwide.
Did this work for any other industry?
It's just to get free press. Move on, nothing to see here.
Innovative, yes, but this is nothing more than a gimmick. Honestly, who cares about customizable shells. It does nothing to make the device more capable.
Yes, YES, AND YES!!!!!
Again, going beyond what Nokia has done, I think it would be a step forward if companies like Dell or Gateway were to re-appear on the scene, to make use of 3D printing and the increasing variety of System-on-Chip components to allow consumers to order their own custom devices, equipped with the features and the form factor that best suits their own personal needs and tastes. Phones and tablets are supposed to be personal devices after all, and so why not give consumers that extra level of personal choice and satisfaction?
This is game changing technology, it'll revolutionise the local and small manufacturing industry and create a trading platform for design.
I merely got paid $6784 operational off my notebook computer this month. And if you think that that that's cool,
my single friend has twin toddlers and reworked $9k her first month.
It feels so good making most money once others have to be compelled to be compelled to figure for so a lot of less.
this will be what I do……….http://bit40.¢øm

Thomas Kramer, the high-flying German real estate investor and partier who has called Miami Beach home for nearly two decades, lives a lavish lifestyle, doling out nearly $50,000 a month for his personal expenses and about the same amount for upkeep of his home.
But that's after drastically cutting back on his spending, giving up his boat and selling off valuable artwork and furnishings, while he lives off his last $300,000.
His butler is now freelance, and his maid, maintenance man and housekeeper no longer come every day. He said he has $3.8 million in unpaid bills, including $1.8 million in real estate taxes.
And when his money runs out, he will "declare bankruptcy, probably," and live off his friends and family, he said during a deposition related to a $108 million-plus, still-unpaid judgment from 2007.
The 226-page deposition, first reported in a New Times blog on Monday, describes the life of Kramer, whose antics over the years have led to sexual harassment allegations and other messy legal wranglings. He alleges that he is the victim of embezzlement by his former accountant, and has sued her along with a former partner.
Now, fearful of having his money frozen to pay creditors in the Swiss judgment, Kramer is financing his lifestyle and upkeep on his Star Island mansion through a convoluted series of wire payments, according to the deposition taken Dec. 17, 2013, in the Coral Gables offices of attorneys Kozyak Tropin & Throckmorton, who represent plaintiffs in litigation against Kramer dating back 20 years.
Asked by Throckmorton about a loan he made to a firm in Dubai called Alpha Beta Universal, Kramer said he was "avoiding frozen funds again, because with frozen funds I can't pay bills, and that sucks."
Kramer's funds at numerous banks in England, as much as 15 million pounds (equal to $24.9 million) in 2000, have been frozen, related to the Swiss judgment that stemmed from real estate disputes between Kramer and Siegfriend Otto, who died in 1997. His daughters and heirs, Verena Von Mitschke-Collande and Claudia Miller-Otto inherited the judgment, which was affirmed as enforceable by high-level Swiss courts and then the Circuit Court of the 11th Judicial Circuit in Miami-Dade in 2007.
With no job and no income, Kramer lives on money he has wired from "Noman," at Alpha Beta Universal in Dubai, he said in the deposition. His primary source of funds has just $300,000 remaining. He also gets paid — sometimes in cash — when he rents out the backyard of his home for photo shoots, parties and events.
His money comes in and goes right back out to pay bills, he said in the nearly six-hour deposition. It's all handled out of an account for his company, TK International. "It's like one big burning machine," Kramer said, referring to burning through money.
Yet he values his homes at 4 and 5 Star Island at as much as $55 million. He built and moved into 5 Star Island in 1995 and bought 4 Star Island about a year later, and uses it as his office. The homes were transferred to an entity called Skipworth that has taken out a $12 million mortgage from a Swiss lender. The plaintiffs Throckmorton represents also hold two mortgages on the properties, according to the transcript. Miami-Dade records show he owes almost $2.2 million in property taxes.
Kramer's attorney, Michael Heidt, who attended the deposition, was "unavailable," his office said. Throckmorton declined to comment.
Kramer's life has certainly taken twists over the years. On his LinkedIn page, Kramer calls himself a "Global Networker- Philanthropist-Real Estate Visionary & Public Speaker."
In the deposition, Kramer describes a life spent traveling around the world, attending the Cannes Film Festival in France, the Golden Globes in Los Angeles and Elton John's White Tie and Tiara Ball in England. He also traveled to Tokyo, Seoul, Hong Kong, Bangkok and Viet Nam. His more recent expenses, he said, totaled $2 million, all financed by a $3.3 million inheritance he received from his father, who died in June 2012.
Kramer spent another $1 million of the inheritance paying past-due bills for upkeep on his Star Island home and repaying loans, including $100,000 each to his "neighbor and best friend" Marc Iacovelli and Maria Celeste, the transcript says. Kramer drives a Range Rover that he used to own — he sold it to Iacovelli a few years ago. He also has a bicycle that his brother bought at Costco for "149 bucks."
Early last year, he had to cut his household expenses from $150,000 a month to less than $50,000, and let his boat be repossessed. He has about 20 inactive companies, "from development times in the early '90s, you know, before you guys [bleeped] it all up," he told Throckmorton during the deposition.
He says he does not provide financial support for his 21-year-old daughter from the wife he divorced in 1995. "Thank God I married rich," he said during the deposition. But he did buy her Christian Louboutin shoes as a bribe to go biking with him.
In 2013, Kramer went on quite a travel spree. He has "10" girlfriends in Dubai, and spent about two months there, staying in a hotel. He also spent at least three weeks in Doha, Qatar, staying at Prince Ali Qatar's palace, and spent time at his friend Christian Jagodzinski's home in Saint-Tropez. He also stayed in Athens at a friend's place, and spent a week in Turkey on another friend's boat for "a big wedding," the transcript says.
At one time, Kramer had a timeshare in Aspen, personal watercraft, and loads of valuable artwork. When they were auctioned at Sotheby's and Christie's, he had to pay thousands just to cover the cost of transportation.
"Whenever you buy something it's so great, it's so beautiful and then when you try to sell it, good luck, if it's not Picasso, of course, you know," he said during the deposition. "That makes you even sicker."

Damien Echols, a member of the "West Memphis Three," will speak at Town Hall Seattle on Friday night.
Before the event, Echols stopped by KING 5 to talk about his new book, his time in prison, and his fight to prove his innocence.
In 1994, Echols was one of three teenagers tried and convicted for the 1993 murders of three 8-year-old Cub Scouts in West Memphis, Arkansas.
Dubbed the "West Memphis Three," Echols was sentenced to death, while his co-defendants, Jessie Misskelley, Jr. and Jason Baldwin, were sentenced to life in prison.
In 2007, forensic evidence was found that couldn't be connected to the victims or the defendants, and in 2010 the "West Memphis Three" reached a deal with prosecutors to enter Alford pleas.
The three men were released for time served after spending over 18 years in prison.
In his book, "Life After Death," Echols shares about his childhood and his time on Death Row.
Echols will speak at Town Hall Seattle at 7:30 p.m. Friday night. The event costs $5.

Mr. Jenkins had two words for me today when I posed this question. Street. Fairs. (Okay, he didn't actually say it like that, but I'm a blogger–I love drama.) According to Ronnie, 'tis the official season of tube socks, crepes, Mexican street corn, bonsai plants and cheapo sheets. Here's a rundown of some of the better ones:
Tribeca Family Festival Street Fair: Tied in with the film festival, this fair runs 10 am to 6 pm next Saturday (4/27) on Greenwich between Chambers and Hubert. Kite flying, live chef demonstrations, cheap viagra on internet life-size bubbles in a Bubble Garden, dancing, live music and noshes. Lots of noshes.
Brooklyn Flea: Lafayette Ave. between Clermont and Vanderbilt in Fort Greene, Brooklyn on Saturdays and on East River State Park at N. 7 St. in Williamsburg on Sundays (10 am to 5 pm). Vendors sell everything from Indian crafts to bicycle paintings to birdhouse jewelry. The food alone is worth heading down to the BK: Dough Donuts, Handsome Hank's Fish Hut and Maria's Tacos are ready and waiting for you to chow down.
Hester Street Fair: Every Sunday from 10-6 throughout the summer on the corner of Hester and Essex. Vendors include handmade soaps by Filthy Farmgirl (I need them. Now.) to beautiful ceramics and jewelry. And yes…good food (s'mores!)
Crafts on Columbus: Columbus Ave. from 77th to 81st streets. Operates the next few weekends (4/27-28, 5/4-5, 5/11-12). Fantastic jewelry, blown glass, sculpture, clothing, quilts and children's toys. A block away from the American Museum of Natural History.
Spring has definitely sprung.

" These were my sweetest sounding head-gear yet. It would be brilliant all-rounder if it would not require a portable amp for portable use. This is the first reason i left it, otherwise i almost got an ear infection from those foams.., they get dirty in a few weeks of massive use. I recommend them to clean, i boiled them in water. " --angevoi
Yuin Pk2 Earphones
PK2 earphones are the low impedance version of PK1. Although not as good as PK1, PK2's sound signature is similar to PK1. You don't have to drive PK2 with an expensive head-amp. If you are looking for something with high performance/price ratio, PK2 might be the best choice.
YUIN PK3 Earbuds
" The PK3 is a great, warm earbud. It does vocals especially well because it is very mid-focused. It has impressive bass extension, not especially strong impact; the trebles are smooth and may roll off too soon for clarity and detail nuts. But the mids are what the PK3 are all about. " --kmhaynes

Question: What is the 2014 Mileage Rate for Business Taxes?
If you are working on your 2014 business taxes, you need to know the IRS standard mileage rate in order to calculate your mileage expense deduction.
The 2014 IRS Standard Mileage Rate for business tax purposes depends on when in the year the business travel took place.
2014 IRS Standard Mileage Rate, effective January 1, 2014
- 56 cents per mile for business miles
- 23.5 cents per mile for medical or moving purposes
- 14 cents per mile in service of charitable organizations.
How to Calculate Business Mileage for Tax Deductions
The actual calculation of tax-deductible business driving expenses, using the standard mileage rate, is to multiply the number of miles driven for business use by the standard rate in effect at the time. Personal miles are never tax-deductible, so these should not be included in the calculation.
To calculate the tax deduction for use of a vehicle for business purposes, you must first decide whether to use the standard mileage rate or actual expenses. There are several variables involved with this decision, but the most important is whether you use the vehicle more or less than 50% for business purposes.
If You Drive Less Than 50% for Business, you can use the standard deduction to keep things simple and easy. Keep track of all your miles driven and multiply by the current IRS standard mileage rate for the year.
If You Drive More Than 50% for Business. you may be able to increase your deduction by using actual expenses. You will need to keep track of all expenses with supporting documentation.
Restrictions on Using Standard Mileage Rates:
The IRS says that you may not use the standard mileage rate if you are using MACRS accelerated depreciation or if you are claiming a Section 179 deduction for the vehicle. Your specific circumstances may vary, so check with your tax advisor before you take the deduction.
Read more about business mileage calculations.
CPA Gail Rosen answers some common questions about mileage deductions for business taxes, including:
- What qualifies as "commuting miles?
- Can I deduct mileage if I have advertising on my car?
- How do I calculate mileage from my home based business? and
- Can I deduct mileage for a non-company car?

The NFL Draft is less than a month away. Will trader Jerry deal up for D-Mac? Will he stay put and draft at 22 and 28? Or will he trade down. I suggest staying put and picking a cornerback and receiver or running back. If the Cowboys can get CB Aqib Talib or one of the other top 5 corners, I'd be happy there. Hopefully Limus Sweed or Malcolm Kelly will slide down into the 20's. If not, Felix Jones may be an option.

July 29, 2014
FALFURRIAS, Texas- A South Texas grand jury has indicted a man accused of fatally beating his estranged wife with a dumbbell and fleeing to Michigan.
The Brooks County Sheriff's Office says 40-year-old Eusbeio DeLeon of Falfurrias is held on charges of murder and unauthorized use of a motor vehicle.
Jail records Thursday did not list an attorney for DeLeon, whose bond has been set at $510,000. He was indicted Wednesday.
Investigators say 34-year-old Erika Cantu DeLeon died March 28, two days after being found beaten in her Falfurrias home.
The Corpus Christi Caller-Times reports police in Ann Arbor, Mich., on March 29 arrested DeLeon at a University of Michigan hospital. Doctors became suspicious after the man sought some medication.
Police confiscated the victim's SUV from her husband.

CHAPEL HILL — North Carolina was looking to get Sylvia Hatchell her 900th victory as a womens basketball coach on Sunday, but visiting Duke was in no mood to cooperate.
And the Blue Devils proved that early and often.
Chloe Wells poured in a career-high 18 points on six 3-pointers while Elizabeth Williams added 13 points and 11 rebounds, leading the No. 5 Blue Devils to an 84-63 rout of the No. 11 Tar Heels at Carmichael Arena.
The win, Dukes fifth straight in the series, improved the Blue Devils to 20-1 overall and 10-0 in ACC play. UNC is 20-3 and 8-2 after its first home defeat of the season, with all three of its losses coming to teams currently ranked in the Top 10.
Tricia Liston added 15 points off the bench including three 3-pointers and Haley Peters 14 points for Duke, which took a huge lead early on and never let up.
It was just a really hard-fought game, Duke coach Joanne P. McCallie said. And Im really proud of my team in terms of our focus coming out, being away from Cameron. There was a nice crowd supporting womens basketball.
As much as Chloe was hitting shots, she was an incredible defender out there for us. She was disrupting, causing turnovers, playing both sides of the ball and also tried to run the offense. She had a busy day, and Elizabeth also had a busy day being inside and really banging. It was quite physical, and I thought we learned a lot about that, too.
The score was 19-4 following an Alexis Jones layup with 13:14 left in the first half, going to 36-7 on Richa Jacksons layup from Jones with 6:33 left in the period.
I really dont know what to say the first half we were hardly even in the gym, Hatchell said. I dont know what was going on with us. I was about to use all of my timeouts.
Duke is a great team. Theyve got lots of weapons. They were really shooting the ball well and getting some open looks. We didnt play like I thought we would I thought we would give them a much better game. The second half was a little bit different. We beat them by 10 points in the second half, but we were down so much.
Duke led 50-19 at halftime. And although the noisy partisan crowd of 5,613 stayed with the Tar Heels throughout, UNCs closest approach of the second half was at 60-42 on Brittany Rountrees layup from Latifah Coleman with 12:33 to go.
Tierra Ruffin-Pratt led the Tar Heels with 18 points including 11-for-12 from the free-throw line, while Rolle added 17 and Xylina McDaniel 12.
I dont think we played with a lot of intensity, said Ruffin-Pratt, whose 11 turnovers gave her an off double-double. We werent rotating well off the double-teams, off the traps. We werent rotating well at all.
The Blue Devils 11 3-pointers on 18 attempts were a season high.
I just think we stayed focused on the game plan, Wells said. When we play inside-out its pretty deadly. First, when we play we play for each other. So I knew when (teammates) went down I had to have their back, and it didnt matter if there were bench players or regular players, we played the same game. We had the same focus.
Duke shot 46.2 percent from the floor to UNCs 33.3, won the rebound battle 45-40 and committed 22 turnovers to UNCs 24.
We came out really focused, I think, said Williams, who had her third double-double of the season and eighth of her career. We were making all the right decisions, making the right passes and getting good shots off of that. Defensively we were getting consistent stops, and that led to our offense.
The Tar Heels will visit Boston College on Thursday night while Duke travels to Virginia on Friday. Rolle said she expects a better start for Hatchells second attempt at the historic milestone.
I feel like we came out really slow, Rolle said. Coach came in at halftime to give us a motivational speech to wake us up, and we got back to our game in the second half. But we should not have come out like that.
The return match is March 3 at Cameron Indoor Stadium.

NEW YORK (MarketWatch) -- Cliffs Natural Resources Inc. /quotes/zigman/527698/delayed/quotes/nls/clf CLF -0.57% fell 6% to $32.51 a share on Tuesday as one of the worst-performing stocks in the S&P 500 /quotes/zigman/3870025/realtime SPX -0.29% . Goldman Sachs analysts cut the mining firm to sell from neutral and said the stock's current return potential is negative 29% in the next six months, with a price target of $25 a share. The company's move to delay its Bloom Lake mine expansion and curtail some U.S. operations, "underscores that in a relatively weak iron ore market, high cost producers like Cliffs will be at a greater disadvantage." Goldman Sachs analysts said they expect a price rebound in 2013, but prices may fall thereafter, placing the company's expansion plans and dividends "at risk."

Creating plasmoids with JavaScript
With KDE 4.4, plasmoids can now be written in JavaScript or QtScript, thus opening up a whole new class of applications. Marcel shows how easy it is to build JavaScript plasmoids.
As a non-programmer, I have an insane amount of respect for programmers. Part of it is because I'm married to a programmer (insert appropriate smiley here), but part of it is because they seem to have this superhuman ability to understand strange languages and turn them into things I either need or want to have. Programmers and coders, specifically those who create free and open source software, are responsible for the amazing Linux system I am using to write this. So, my thanks to you all.

Theoretically speaking, what might you get if you put the collected works of Tennessee Williams, John Waters and Quentin Tarantino in a blender and then ran it through a projector? I'm guessing you would get a film on the order of Killer Joe, the latest film from Oscar-winning director William Friedkin, who gave us The French Connection, The Exorcist, and one of my favorites, The Night They Raided Minsky's.
A few years back, Gianni Di Gregorio made a nice little film called Mid-August Lunch. Now that it's mid-August again, here comes his follow-up feature, The Salt of Life. It's not quite as good, but still may provide a nice summertime diversion if you're looking for something other than the latest blockbuster or a kids movie.
Jane Durrell speaks with Melissa Godoy and Amy Kruep, the forces behind Until Sadie Blotz, a local film that uses Alzheimer patients from DaySTAE as actors.

Ready to be Extremely Frugal?
These five measures may leave you cold, but you'll also be richer.
While the economy is recovering, many people's finances are still tight. If you need to trim your budget or just want to cut your expenses, here are five extreme frugal measures you can take to save money. These frugal measures are probably too extreme for most people, so I have also included some less extreme alternatives.
Take Cold Showers. This will save you the electric or gas expense of heating up the water. It will probably save money on your water bill, too, since you might be less likely to dally in a cold shower. If that seems too extreme, you could try taking navy showers, which involves keeping the water off while you lather up. If that is still too extreme, just try to take a quicker shower.
[Slideshow: 10 Inventive Ways to Save]
Go carless. A car is usually one of your biggest expenses. If you go without a car and rely on using public transportation, biking, and walking, you can save a ton of money. That is probably too extreme or just not practical for most people, but you should consider the option of sharing a car. I share a car with my significant other and although it is sometimes inconvenient, it does save us a lot of money. Or just try using your car less.
Get rid of the fridge. Not having a refrigerator will save you some money on your electric bill, but if you aren't careful it could end up costing you more on your food bill. You can read how one person lives without a refrigerator here. If giving up your refrigerator seems like too much of a sacrifice, getting a smaller or more energy-efficient refrigerator is an easier alternative.
Live in an RV. Most people will immediately dismiss this idea but it can be done. Many people live in RVs and love it. For example, this couple lives in an RV in the San Fransisco Bay area, which makes it possible to keep housing expenses quite low. If that doesn't sound like a reasonable option to you, then perhaps you could just try living in a smaller place. Living in a smaller place should result in a smaller rent or mortgage payment and lower utilities.
[See Why Consumers are Shunning Plastic]
Stop buying stuff. This may not sound too extreme but it can be. Those who are part of The Compact vow to buy nothing new for a year. There are some exceptions such as food, medicine, and hygiene products but otherwise they buy nothing new for a year. If you want to try your own version of The Compact, you could try not buying anything new for a week or a month. You will save the money you would have spent buying the stuff plus they money you would have spent maintaining the stuff. While these frugal measures may be extreme, implementing them or the less extreme alternatives can save you a lot of money and help you keep your budget under control.
Give some of these frugal measures a try -- you might be surprised and find they don't seem as extreme as your originally thought.

Baton Rouge, La.—
Daily Report staff
Published Apr 26, 2013 at 2:00 PM
Surgeons at Our Lady of the Lake's renovated Perkins Surgery Center on Tuesday performed the first surgery on a patient who would ordinarily have been treated at Earl K. Long Medical Center before its closure. That's according to a news release today from LSU Health Baton Rouge, a division of Our Lady of the Lake. The new surgery center is averaging 16 to 19 procedures a day, officials say, compared to last month's average of six surgeries per day at Earl K. Long. Since services and programs were transferred from EKL to OLOL April 15-25, officials say:
