Additional Info/situation: Ginger was rescued form a kill shelter with her 6 week old puppies right before they were all to be euthanized last fall. The puppies all found homes, but Ginger is not adoptable because she is unsocialized and cannot be rehabilitated to be adopted. She has been waiting at the animal hospital for 6 months and now has a permanent sanctuary to live at for the rest of her life. Please help get her home. She will come with her own plastic airline kennel so that she will not have to be moved from kennel to kennel. It measues 36L 24W 26H. If that kennel is too large, I also have a wire crate that is 30L 21 1/2 W 24H. I'm in Trenton, MO and can drive her to the Des Moines, IA area to help with some miles.

A wrong way driver hit several vehicles including two Washington State Patrol cars on Interstate 5 in Tukwila Friday morning.
It happened around 4 a.m. A WSP spokesman said an SUV with several people inside was headed the wrong way in the southbound lanes. Troopers say the underage driver is suspected of DUI.
Troopers say the SUV may have traveled up to five miles in the wrong direction, hitting at least one other vehicle.
"The initial calls came around Boeing Field, so we're talking 5 or 6 miles at least. But if you look at, she came on maybe from the downtown area or even Michigan Street. It could even be farther than that," said Trooper Chris Webb.
The driver hit one state trooper vehicle and slowed down significantly. A second trooper, Joseph DePalma, who is a cadet in his second week on the force, was able to force the SUV to the side of the road.
DePalma's Field Operations Trainer, Trooper Richard Bjorkman, was in the passenger seat and instructed DePalma on how to force the SUV off the road.
"When the suspect driver got out of the vehicle after being hit by the second patrol car, she actually was blaming that state trooper for hitting her. [She] seemed disoriented, [she] didn't know exactly where she was," said Webb.
Mohammed Kimo was on his way home from a friend's house in Tukwila when he realized he was in the wrong way driver's path.
"It was coming directly in front of my face it was like a flash light," said Mohammed Kimo.
He managed to swerve to avoid a head on collision but was still sideswiped by the woman's SUV.
"If I didn't move, I was going to die, that's what I'm thinking," said Kimo, who has minor scrapes and dents to his car but was uninjured.
Kimo's son Ibrahim Abdalah says without the quick thinking of Cadet DePalma, the situation could have ended a lot worse.
"He's a hero he saved what could have been a tragedy a lot of people could have lost their lives," said Abdalah.
"As a new trooper would be he's just excited for doing the job," said Mike DePalma, a WSP Assistant Chief.
Mike DePalma, Cadet DePalma's father, says despite being only two weeks into field training, his son and training officer Bjorkman took the right action.
"The fact that both of the troopers were able to resolve this without any additional injury I think speaks to their training and decision making," said Assistant Chief DePalma.
The wrong way driver has three speeding tickets in the last year. She faces drunk driving, reckless driving and reckless endangerment charges.
Meanwhile, Cadet DePalma officially becomes a Trooper in March.
Troopers say that if DePalma and his trainer had not been successful, there could have been more significant injuries because there were about a half dozen vehicles driving northbound on the SR 518 ramp to merge when trooper DePalma stopped the wrong way driver.
The first trooper was transported with minor injuries.

Every week a panel of voters participate in The News' large and small school football polls, and every week we tell you how The News voted.
The News is one of 10 voters on the large and small school polls.
1. Orchard Park (5-0) [1] -- I'm keeping them here. Last week's eyebrow-raiser at Frontier isn't as much an eyebrow-raiser after the Falcons beat Jamestown. This week OP beat Lancaster by 10 in a game that yes, was closer than we thought. But they still won and we still like what they have to offer.
And yes, since I'll be seeing at least two of the top three in big games this week (OP at Jamestown Friday; St. Joe's at Lockport and/or Aquinas at Canisius Saturday), I'll plead guilty to sticking with my poll while waiting to see this week's action. I haven't seen enough in person or through the results of the teams (and their opponents) to knock OP from the No. 1 spot.
2. Canisius (5-0) [2] -- These guys remain in this spot over their rivals. Pleading guilty to the wait-and-see approach: Canisius hosts Aquinas this Saturday. That game will give us a clear Canisius/Joe's answer -- until the two play, of course. Until then, the St. Francis games (Canisius dominated while St. Joe's hung on), and Canisius' better schedule overall, lead me here.
3. St. Joe's (5-0) [8] -- Obviously a tremendous win at Aquinas. If Aquinas didn't struggle the way it did with McQuaid the week before (6-3 victory; last two years have been blowouts), I might have moved them up higher. I thought Aquinas was the same old Aquinas this season (especially after its rout at St. Francis to start), but I'm not so sure now. Again, wait-and-see for this weekend is certainly a factor.
4. Bishop Timon-St. Jude (3-2) [3] -- Loss to Aquinas puts them behind Joe's.
5. Sweet Home (5-0) [4] -- Canisius' clear win over McKinley and Panthers' one-touchdown hangon win deserve separation in the poll.
6. West Seneca East (5-0) [5] -- Down a spot only because of Joe's shooting up the chart. Repeating from last week: I consider them very, very, very close behind Sweet Home.
7. Lockport (4-1) [6] -- Quality win at Kenmore West to head them to most likely the AA North title. Awesome home game with St. Joe's Saturday. Great place to watch a football game.
8. McKinley (3-2) [9] -- This past weekend's rout of Kenmore East (44-0) shows they deserve to be ranked higher than 5-0 Grand Island (26-14 win over Ken East in Week One); also, McKinley's win at Will North was clearer than GI's. How the Macks played against Sweet Home also helps them deserve this spot. Other loss is Canisius, which I think would beat any other teams in consideration for the 8-9-10 holes.
9. Frontier (4-1) [NR] -- Tough picks down here, but I'm going with AA over A. Falcons should be rewarded for great home win over Jamestown, not to mention nice game against Orchard Park the previous week.
10. Jamestown (4-1) [7] -- The loss at Frontier was a close one, and we think they're too good to leave out of the top 10.
Grand Island won that close one with Williamsville North, but I just don't see them having separated themselves enough from the rest of a Class A pack -- one that got pretty wild last week with Bennett beating Williamsville East and Iroquois beating Williamsville South -- to move past those AA schools.
1. Alden (5-0) [1] -- Talk about underlining your status as the top small school.
2. Depew (4-1) [2] -- I'm keeping them here. Still a very good, very talented team. A lot of that is because I think so highly of Alden that the big win is more about Alden than it is Depew. Also ...
3. Cheektowaga (5-0) [3] -- ... I just don't see these Warriors as having separated themselves enough from their competition to earn No. 2 over Depew. It's close.
4. St. Mary's (3-2) [4] -- Playing Timon tough this week eliminates much of the thinking that the Canisius game was a fluke. I thought about moving these guys up as well.
5. Burgard (4-1) [8] -- Gritty league win at Lackawanna is a very strong one.
6. Maple Grove (5-0) [7] -- Red Dragons keep rolling along. They may have a claim on a higher spot, but it's crowded up here.
7. Lew-Port (4-1) [NR] -- After two-TD opening loss to Burgard, wins over Tonawanda, Amherst, Class A likely playoff team South Park and at Maryvale make it the latest from the Wild B West to appear on this ballot.
8. Cleveland Hill (4-1) [5] -- We'll keep them a sliver ahead of their rivals (how about that meeting at JFK in Week Seven?) based on a win over a member of the Wild B West (Maryvale in Week One).
9. JFK (4-1) [10] -- Otherwise, the schedules look the same: loss at Fredonia, close wins over Akron and Wilson.
10. Salamanca (4-1) [NR] -- Only loss a zany OT one-pointer to Southwestern.
Fredonia is 4-1 with home wins over JFK and Cleve Hill, but its loss at Wilson keeps them out of the running for now. Kind of crazy, I know. Maybe I'm penalizing Pioneer too much, but while I give previously-winless Springville much props for the win, the Panthers have to win that game. Eden's loss at home also eliminated them from poll consideration. The winner of Chautauqua Lake-Randolph this week will have a good resume for next week.

HANDY HELPER: Another virtual assistant is coming to the aid of iPhone and iPad owners. Google is trying to shove aside Siri, a concierge-like service offered by Apple since late 2001, with its own technology for helping people manage their lives on mobile devices.
THE DIFFERENCES: Siri waits to be asked a question or told to do something. Google Now, the name of Siri's new competition, learns about a person's habits and preferences so it can proactively provide useful information.
DUEL BEGINS: Google Now was released for the iPhone and iPad as part of a Monday update to an existing Google Search application for those devices.

Don't just read about D&D's latest news and announcements -- listen to them as well! And where better to find inside information than from the very halls of Wizards of the Coast? Presenting Episode 16: Monsters, Monsters, Monsters!
Last time, Dave Noonan and Mike Mearls fielded many of your questions in regards to 4th Edition. This time, Dave put forth his own questions to Mike and James Wyatt, regarding the 4E Monster Manual:
1:01: Where are we with the 4E Monster Manual, in terms of its development?
1:52: What was the criteria for which monsters made the cut into the Manual?
3:40: Were there any monsters that you particularly advocated to include?
5:24: The flipside; were there any monsters you advocated to not include?
8:20: What are monster roles?
10:00: How are existing monsters converted to 4th Edition monsters?
13:00: What monsters had good essence but bad execution in 3rd Edition (and that you'll improve in 4E)?
15:25: What monsters came out quite differently, mechanically speaking?
16:40: Any monsters that fundamentally changed in their concept?
17:40: How do monsters relate to their world?
19:20: Any monsters make big level (or "CR" in 3E parlance) moves?
20:40: Can you give any examples of good/new monster powers/attacks?
23:41: When it comes to using monsters, which ones do you love to throw at players?
24:50: How do monster powers work, as compared to PC powers?
Populate the following encounters with suitable monsters:

About the Hosts
Mike Mearls is the dark hope of chaotic evil: young, handsome, well endowed in abilities and aptitudes, thoroughly wicked, depraved, and capricious. Whomever harms Mearls had better not brag of it in the presence of one who will inform the Demoness Lolth!
Evil to the core, Mearls is cunning, and if the situation appears in doubt, he will use bribery and honeyed words to sway the balance in his favor. He is not at all adverse to gaining new recruits of any sort, and will gladly accept adventurers into the ranks, but he will test and try them continually. Those who arouse suspicion will be quietly murdered in their sleep; those with too much promise will be likewise dealt with, for Mearls wants no potential usurpers or threats to his domination.
David Noonan is a designer/developer for Wizards of the Coast. His credits include co-designing Dungeon Master's Guide II, Heroes of Battle, and numerous products for the Eberron campaign setting. He lives in Washington state with his wife, son, and daughter.

Hebrews Chapter 4 Verse 7 - 16
Translations: World English BibleBible in Basic EnglishKing James Version
7.) he again defines a certain day, today, saying through David so long a time afterward (just as has been said), "Today if you will hear his voice, don't harden your hearts."
8.) For if Joshua had given them rest, he would not have spoken afterward of another day.
9.) There remains therefore a Sabbath rest for the people of God.
10.) For he who has entered into his rest has himself also rested from his works, as God did from his.
11.) Let us therefore give diligence to enter into that rest, lest anyone fall after the same example of disobedience.
12.) For the word of God is living, and active, and sharper than any two-edged sword, and piercing even to the dividing of soul and spirit, of both joints and marrow, and is able to discern the thoughts and intentions of the heart.
13.) There is no creature that is hidden from his sight, but all things are naked and laid open before the eyes of him with whom we have to do.
14.) Having then a great high priest, who has passed through the heavens, Jesus, the Son of God, let us hold tightly to our confession.
15.) For we don't have a high priest who can't be touched with the feeling of our infirmities, but one who has been in all points tempted like we are, yet without sin.
16.) Let us therefore draw near with boldness to the throne of grace, that we may receive mercy, and may find grace for help in time of need.

LOS ANGELES, CA - FEBRUARY 08: Singer/actress Miley Cyrus arrives at the premiere of Paramount Pictures' 'Justin Bieber: Never Say Never' held at Nokia Theater L.A. Live on February 8, 2011 in Los Angeles, California. (Photo by Jason Merritt/Getty Images) *** Local Caption *** Miley Cyrus
Things are apparently going well in the household of Miley Cyrus.
In an interview with The Associated Press, the pop singer said that her family is spending more time with each other in the wake of her parents, Billy Ray and Tish Cyrus, calling off their divorce. It's giving Miley some peace of mind, as she is about to get ready for her international tour.
"I think it's good, especially when you go on the road," she said. You have to make sure everyone is happy before you start traveling, you're away. My family is good. They are stoked for tour. As long as I'm happy they are happy."
Some of the previous troubles surrounding the Cyrus clan included Billy Ray speaking to GQ about the effects of celebrity on Miley, and the announcement that he and Tish were getting a divorce back in October, according to People.
Miley Cyrus's "Gypsy Heart Tour" will take the singer to South America and Australia. However, she has no plans to hit the U.S. at the moment.
"I just think right now America has gotten to a place where I don't know if they want me to tour or not," she told the AP. Right now I just want to go to the places where I am getting the most love and Australia and South America have done that for me. Kind of going to the places where I get the most love. Don't want to go anywhere where I don't feel completely comfortable with it."

Giovanni Papini (January 9, 1881 – July 8, 1956) was an Italian journalist, essayist, literary critic, poet, and novelist.
Early life[edit]
Born in Florence as the son of a modest furniture retailer (and former member of Giuseppe Garibaldi's Redshirts) from Borgo degli Albizi, Papini was baptized secretly to avoid the aggressive atheism of his father and lived a rustic, lonesome childhood. At that time he had felt a strong aversion to all beliefs, to all churches, as well as to any form of servitude (which he saw as connected to religion); he also became enchanted with the impossible idea of writing an encyclopedia wherein all cultures would be summarized.
Trained as a schoolteacher, he taught for a few years after 1899, then became a librarian. The literary life attracted Papini, who founded the magazine Il Leonardo,[1] together with Giuseppe Prezzolini, in 1903, then joined Enrico Corradini's group as co-editor of Il Regno. He started publishing short-stories and essays: in 1906, Il tragico quotidiano ("The Tragic Everyday"), in 1907 Il pilota cieco ("The Blind Pilot") and Il crepuscolo dei filosofi ("The Twilight of the Philosophers"). The latter constituted a polemic with established and diverse intellectual figures, such as Immanuel Kant, Georg Wilhelm Friedrich Hegel, Auguste Comte, Herbert Spencer, Arthur Schopenhauer, and Friedrich Nietzsche - Papini proclaimed to the death of philosophers and the demolition of thinking itself. He briefly flirted with Futurism and other violent and liberating forms of Modernism (Papini is the character in several poems of the period written by Mina Loy).
Before and during World War I[edit]
After leaving Il Leonardo in 1907, Giovanni Papini founded Anima together with Giovanni Amendola. His Parole e sangue ("Words and Blood") essay of the period showed his fundamental atheism.
Furthermore, Papini sought to create scandal by speculating that Jesus and John the Apostle had a homosexual relationship.
He broke off with Prezzolini, co-editor of Anima, and the paper ceased to appear. Papini founded Lacerba, published between 1913 and 1915 (right before Italy's entry into World War I). In 1912, he published his best-known work, the autobiography Un uomo finito (tr.: "The Failure").[2]
His 1915 collection of prose poetry Cento pagine di poesia, followed by Buffonate and Maschilità, and the 1916 Stroncature - Papini faced Giovanni Boccaccio, William Shakespeare, Johann Wolfgang von Goethe, but also contemporaries such as Benedetto Croce and Giovanni Gentile, and less prominent disciples of Gabriele D'Annunzio. A critic wrote of him:
Giovanni Papini [...] is one of the finest minds in the Italy of today. He is an excellent representative of modernity's restless search for truth, and his work exhibits a refreshing independence founded, not like so much so-called independence upon ignorance of the past, but upon a study and understanding of it.[3]
He published verse in 1917, grouped under the title Opera prima. In 1921, Papini announced his newly found Roman Catholicism,[4] publishing the international bestseller essay Storia di Cristo ("The Story of Christ").[5]
Fascism and later years[edit]
After further verse works, he published the satire Gog (1931) and the essay Dante vivo (tr. "If Dante Were Alive"; 1933).[6]
He moved towards Fascism,[7] and his beliefs earned him a teaching position at the University of Bologna in 1935 (although his studies only qualified him for primary school teaching); the Fascist authorities confirmed Papini's "impeccable reputation" through the appointment. In 1937, Papini published the only volume of his History of Italian Literature, which he dedicated to Benito Mussolini: "to Il Duce, friend of poetry and of the poets", being awarded top positions in academia, especially in the study of Italian Renaissance. An Antisemite, he believed in an international plot of Jews, applauding the racial discrimination laws enforced by Mussolini in 1938.[citation needed] Papini was the vice president of the Europäische Schriftstellervereinigung (i.e. European Writers' League), which was founded by Joseph Goebbels in 1941/42.[8] When the Fascist regime crumbled (1943), Papini entered the Franciscan convent in La Verna.
Largely discredited at the end of World War II, he was defended by the Catholic political right. His work concentrated on different subjects, including a biography of Michelangelo,[9] while he continued to publish dark and tragic essays. He collaborated with Corriere della Sera, contributing articles that were published as a volume after his death.
According to The Spectator, NATO allegedly encouraged Papini, in 1951, to publish a fake interview with Pablo Picasso,[10] to dramatically undercut his pro-Communist image. In 1962, the artist asked his biographer Pierre Daix, to expose the fake interview, which he did in Les Lettres Françaises.[11][12]
Jorge Luis Borges remarked that Papini had been "unjustly forgotten" and included some of his stories in the Library of Babel.[13]

text: The most sensible solution to the ocean and stream pollution caused by carry-out plastic bags would be to charge a small fee for them. People will do almost anything to avoid even a tiny levy — tote their own reusable bags, toss their loose groceries into the trunk. Unfortunately, none of the three bills in the Legislature to address the plastic bag problem would work that way.

Dear Lyons Community,
Everyone is entitled to their own opinion about whether or not to support a new library facility for Lyons, but I was disappointed to recently read unfair and inaccurate criticism leveled at the Library Steering Committee.
Creating a 21st century multi-media library in Lyons has long been a community goal. In 2008, the Economic Development Council prioritized a better library as one of its key economic development strategies based on empirical evidence of the links between a good library and downtown economic

Two heads are supposed to be better than one, but is the same thing true for County Commissions? Lyons area residents will have the chance to see for themselves on Thursday, August 29, when the Boulder and Larimer County Commissions will hold a rare joint public hearing at Lyons Town Hall. The hearing is set for 5 p.m., with a short tour by the Commissioners of the current Depot Library (likely to occur just prior to the hearing).
The idea for a combined public hearing arose at prior separate Commission meetings concerning the Lyons Library Project Steering Committee's requests to establish a new regional library district, and approve a tax mill levy ballot measure to fund the district. The Commissioners themselves

A small group of new Canadians are on their way to becoming new power engineers thanks to the Calgary Catholic Immigration Society's Oil and Gas Training Programs (CCIS OGTP).
CCIS is working with SAIT Polytechnic, Enform and the Alberta Boilers Safety Association (ABSA) to deliver the 37-week program that began on Monday, Jan. 28 with a group of 16 students selected from hundreds of applicants. All the students are either new Canadians or unemployed and underemployed immigrants with previous science and technology training suitable to the trade.
"What makes this program unique is the fact that we're able to provide the training in only 37 weeks," said CCIS spokesperson Ana Hoepfner.
"We're able to do this in such a short period of time," she continued, "because these individuals already have strong backgrounds in mechanical, science, physics, abstract reasoning, chemistry and so forth. So, they're able to take up a lot of that knowledge and retool it and become certified as power engineers in a short period of time."
Financial support for the program has come from the federal government and provincial government in Alberta, but a great deal of in-kind support has also come from an oil and gas industry that recognizes a considerable need for power engineers now and in the future.
"They participate with us on final selection, as guest speakers, mentoring the clients and guiding field trips, providing orientation," said Hoepfner.
"And, at the end of the day, providing job opportunities."
Hoepfner explained that this first session of the program is a pilot project driven by that demand for power engineers.
"We feel that this will be a very significant step forward for the industry," she said.
"This is a very in-demand occupation. In the oil sands, it's the most in-demand occupation. And we think that this is a unique avenue to access people who are already here, who are unemployed or underemployed or marginally employed, who might have backgrounds as mechanical engineers or as physicists or as science teachers, and who are being underutilized skill-wise. And retooling those skills to become certified in a profession that is lucrative, that will provide good revenue for the government.
"One company mentioned to me a couple of days ago over the phone that they were going to post twenty power engineering positions in the next couple of weeks," Hoepfner continued. "And that's just one company in the next two weeks. So, you can imagine the scope.
"They're not just needed in the oil sands. They're needed in hospitals. They're needed in schools. Anywhere there's boilers and pressurized equipment. In waste treatment plants. They're needed in the city of Calgary. They're needed in the city of Edmonton. They're needed in different kinds of facilities. So, there's a huge scope for growth in this profession."
In fact, the opportunities range from oil refineries to breweries.
"There's certainly a huge market for power engineers," said Hoepfner. "So, we do feel that this model and this industry-driven approach could be applied on a much wider scale."
Hoepfner noted that government funding for such programs is limited, but CCIS is hopeful that industry will play a greater role in training power engineers.
"If industry were to step in and we could collaborate to train greater numbers of people, this will be a great opportunity," she said.
"Because the need is already here," she added. "It's not looming. The shortage is already here. And we need those people trained as soon as possible. And the best way is to access [people] who are already here, who already have the skills and who can very quickly become certified.
"And as they are a diverse group, they have other skills and other perspectives that they can also bring to the workplace."
The project began with the initial program proposal that was written in 2009.
"It's been a few years in coming to fruition," said Hoepfner. "We have been talking about this for quite some time and building up the support that would be required to make it successful."
The first group of students was chosen from a shortlist of 40 only about a week prior to the start date of the program.
"Every single person that came to help us out with the interviews said the same thing – they were astounded by the caliber of talent," said Hoepfner, adding that the oil company representatives on the selection committee remarked that any of the candidates would be make a good addition to their staff with the proper certification.
Hoepfner remarked that a number of the candidates had known that the program was in the works for some time.
"And so they periodically kept knocking on our doors, saying, 'Have you heard anything about the power engineering program?'" she said, adding that those selected are very appreciative of being chosen by industry to take part in the training.
"They really are seizing this very strongly," Hoepfner continued, noting that students were arriving as early as 8:00 during the first week, even though class begins at 9:00.
"This is a very motivated team.," she said.
"This will be an excellent way for them to get started in an important sector of the economy, whether they choose to go into oil and gas or whether they choose to go into building management or they wish to go to petrochemical plants or breweries or plastic plants.
"It will mean an important change in their lives because they have struggled, in many cases, for years to find sustainable employment.
"In only nine months, their lives will turn around, and they will be making in the vicinity of $100,000."

Gov. Mitt Romney filed two bills May 16 to reorganize state government. The main proposal, which is more than 600 pages, streamlines a number of state agencies. The shorter bill is a revised version of his earlier higher education reorganization. Romney filed these bills under Article 87 of the state Constitution, which allows a governor to send to the Legislature reorganization plans of state government under special rules. The bills will become law unless rejected by the Legislature within 60 days. The Legislature may not amend the bills and can only vote to either support or oppose them.
The bills have not won initial support from legislators and many legislators predicted that they would not pass. However, there are some provisions of the reorganization bills that may at some point be re-introduced as separate bills.
Nether bill contains any changes to the collective bargaining law. It is still possible for Romney to file legislation later that will attempt to roll back employees rights as he tried to do in his proposed FY2004 state budget.
The bill creates a new cabinet-level Secretary of Education who will have oversight over both K-12 and public higher education. The legislation dissolves the Public Nominating Council that advises the governor on appointments to the Board of Education (BOE), the Board of Higher Education (BHE) and the Board of Trustees for the colleges and the University of Massachusetts. The Secretary of Education will have a seat on both the BOE and BHE.
Below is a summary of key provisions in Romney's proposals. MTA will continue to study the legislation and post any updates.

Blake Griffin has expressed his interest in playing overseas, and he's also interested in playing in the sea.
For NBA teams, the first rule of the lockout is don't talk about the lockout. That's because a gag order prevents franchises from discussing the ever-so-annoying work stoppage. That means no contact with players, even if they cut their foot before an exhibition game in Oklahoma City or play flag football in Stillwater.

By some estimates 3 million citizens become expatriates a year, but most not for political reasons.

PANAMA CITY, PANAMA—Dressed in workout casual and sipping a soda in one of the apartment-style rooms of Los Cuatro Tulipanes hotel, Matt Landau appears very much at home in Panama. One might even be tempted to call him an old hand were he not, at age 25, so confoundingly young. Part owner of this lovely boutique hotel in Panama City's historic Casco Viejo, he is also a travel writer (99 Things to Do in Costa Rica), a real estate marketing consultant, and editor of The Panama Report, an online news and opinion monthly. Between fielding occasional calls and text messages, the New Jersey native is explaining what drew him here, by way of Costa Rica, after he graduated from college in 2005. In addition to having great weather, pristine beaches, a rich melting-pot culture, a reliable infrastructure, and a clean-enough legal system, "what Panama is all about," he says, "is the chance to get into some kind of market first." Landau cites other attractions: "There is more room for error here," he says. "You can make mistakes without being put under. That, to me, as an entrepreneur, is the biggest draw."
Long a business and trade hub, Panama has been booming ever since the United States gave it full control of the Canal Zone in 1999. But as Landau says, it is precisely because so much of Panama's economy has been focused on canal-related activities that opportunities in other sectors, from real estate to finance to a host of basic services, have gone largely untapped. And among the many foreigners coming to tap them—as well as to enjoy the good life that Panama offers—are a sizable number of Americans.
These Yankees, it turns out, are part of a larger American phenomenon: a wave of native-born citizens who are going abroad in search of new challenges, opportunities, and more congenial ways of life.
In his recent book Bad Money, political commentator Kevin Phillips warns that an unprecedented number of citizens, fed up with failed politics and a souring economy, have already departed for other countries, with even larger numbers planning to do so soon. But that may be putting too negative a reading on this little-noticed trend. In fact, most of today's expats are not part of a new Lost Generation, moving to Paris or other European haunts to nurse their disillusionment and write their novels. Some may be artists and bohemians, but many more are entrepreneurs, teachers, or skilled knowledge workers in the globalized high-tech economy. Others are members of a retirement bulge that is stretching pensions and IRAs by living abroad. And while a high percentage of expats are unhappy with the rightward tilt of George Bush's America, most don't see their decision to move overseas as a political statement.
Southward trend. Europe still draws many of these American emigrants, but even more have relocated in Canada and Mexico. Others are trying out Australia, New Zealand, or one of the new economies of Asia, while a growing stream flows southward to Central and South America. John Wennersten, author of Leaving America: The New Expatriate Generation and a retired historian who has taught for many years abroad, says Panama is the "new new thing" for those who are part of what he calls "a long-term trend."
Exactly how many people are part of this trend is hard to say. Precise emigration figures have never been easy to come by in the United States. "It's been an implicit assumption that people come here to stay, not to come and go," says Mike Hoefer, head of the Office of Immigration Statistics at the Department of Homeland Security. The government's last trial effort to count Americans overseas, in 1999, was deemed inordinately expensive. Elizabeth Grieco, chief of immigration statistics at the U.S. Census Bureau, puts it bluntly: "We don't count U.S. citizens living abroad."
But if the government is not counting, others are. Estimates made by organizations such as the Association of Americans Resident Overseas put the number of nongovernment-employed Americans living abroad anywhere between 4 million and 7 million, a range whose low end is based loosely on the government's trial count in 1999. Focusing on households rather than individuals (and excluding households in which any member has been sent overseas either by the government or private companies), a series of recent Zogby polls commissioned by New Global Initiatives, a consulting firm, yielded surprising results: 1.6 million U.S. households had already determined to relocate abroad; an additional 1.8 million households were seriously considering such a move, while 7.7 million more were "somewhat seriously" contemplating it. If the data collected in the seven polls conducted between 2005 and 2007 are fairly representative of the current decade, then, by a modest estimate, at least 3 million U.S. citizens a year are venturing abroad. More interesting, the biggest number of relocating households is not those with people in or approaching retirement but those with adults ranging from 25 to 34 years old.

Would have been good to have a storage bag with it, to prevent ball getting lost.
September 01, 2013
Ideal set for the beach, ball really good.
August 28, 2013
Racquets quite sturdy and would probably be ok with harder ball for beach tennis. ball provided is light. slow flight good for children on a still day, and bounces high enough for a hit after the bounce.
August 15, 2013
They enjoyed playing until they lost the ball! seem good quality but i didn't get to try it, needs to come with more balls!

April Automobile of the Month - 1913 Imp Cyclecar
Each month the Auburn Cord Duesenberg Automobile Museum designates one of its automobiles to be the Automobile of the Month. Visitors are able to pick up and take home with them a full page of information about the spotlight automobile. The April 2014 Automobile of the Month is a 1913 Imp Cyclecar, graciously donated to the museum by James H. McIntyre of Auburn, Indiana.
Although unique, affordable and efficient, cyclecars did not last very long in the market. The cyclecar manufactured by the W. H. McIntyre Company of Auburn, Indiana was called the Imp. It seats two people, one directly behind the other, and has a retractable top. Because they were only produced for two years, only a few thousand were made. Today, only five Imp cyclecars are known to exist. This 1913 Imp Cyclecar has a 100-inch wheelbase and is powered by a two-cylinder engine that produces 15 horsepower; just enough power to get around!
The Auburn Cord Duesenberg Automobile Museum – where the world's finest cars of yesterday live today! Over 120 classic, antique, vintage and special interest cars are displayed with other automotive related exhibits on three floors. The museum is located in the original 1930s national headquarters of the legendary Auburn Automobile Company and is a National Historic Landmark. The museum is open from 10 a.m. - 7 p.m. Monday to Friday and 10 a.m. – 5 p.m. Saturday and Sunday. Last admission one hour before closing. Visit the Auburn Cord Duesenberg Automobile Museum, a place where automotive history comes to life! Shop the Museum Store Online today! automobilemuseum.org
Main Menu
Experience the passion as you step back through time to the golden era of automobiles. Walk the same hallways as the automotive giants of yesterday. Touring the museum will give you an impression of what a day at Auburn Automobile Company must have been like in the 1930s.
- Beloved: a National Historic Landmark
- Accredited: by the American Alliance of Museums (AAM)
- MSNBC named: "Top Ten Gearhead Destinations in the United States"
- Dedicated: to promoting Auburn's legendary automotive heritage on a national level

"End the Fed" author and Texas Representative Ron Paul will once again face Federal Reserve Chairman Ben Bernanke in front of the House Financial Services committee, but it'll probably be for the last time.
"It'll be hard to think up anything brand new other than reiterating my concerns over the last 30 years," he told The Hill magazine. But none-the-less, Paul will likely once again renew his concerns over the Federal Reserve's involvement and influence over monetary policy in the United States.

There have been no new reports of a man smashing car windows in Puyallup but police are still asking the public to call in tips.
The man is accused of damaging more than 50 vehicles since last week. Witnesses said he hung out of the rear passenger window of a moving red, four-door car and used a pipe or baseball bat to smash side mirrors and windows.
The vandals have not stuck to one particular area, police said. Multiple people were seen in the car.
Anyone with information is asked to call the police tip line at 253-770-3343. Tipsters can remain anonymous.

One would think that this spring is the most important in Paul Millard's young life, and they would be right.
However, they might not know the real reason.
The junior from Flower Mound, Texas, is involved in a head-to-head competition with redshirt freshman Ford Childress, each taking half the snaps as spring practice begins, for the starting job as Geno Smith's replacement at quarterback at West Virginia University.
That would be enough for anyone to deal with, but Millard has something else on his table.
He's getting married on May 12.
"It's my only week off," he said.
His bride-to-be, Laura, is his high school sweetheart, who has followed him here and is attending WVU.
"A lot of people have asked me (why we are getting married at a time like this) and my answer always is when you know, you know," Millard said. "I've known this for a long time. It wasn't a hard decision."
He recently proposed.
"I proposed on a mountaintop," he said, cutting the questioning short at that. "No more details."
The proposal, he did admit, came in Colorado.
So when he shows up in summer camp to continue the battle for the job, he will be a family man.
Even though Ryan Nehlen could not break into the lineup at West Virginia as a receiver during his time here, his wide receiver coach from last season and this year's offensive coordinator, Shannon Dawson, believes he has all it takes to play in the National Football League.
"I wouldn't say anything negative about the kid," Dawson said. "In my opinion, he needs to be on a roster at the beginning of the year and given an opportunity."
Ryan tested off the boards on Pro Day, running the fastest 40 and having the top broad jump and high jump with top shuttle times also.
"Based on my knowledge of being around him the last two years, he did everything right. He tested out the roof. You never know when people are going to take it and run with it," Dawson said.
As to why he didn't play very much here, he was stuck behind Stedman Bailey, Tavon Austin and a strong group of receivers.
"It just so happened we had some guys who were playing better than he was. It doesn't mean the kid can't play. If someone gives him a chance, you never know," Dawson said.

It's kind of like watching a bad movie where all the super villains assemble to form the super team of bad guys. Watching five years of Bush appointees pass through or circumvent the Congressional approval process can not be much different than watching Hitler assemble his regime.
It seems like every person who has ever failed our nation, violated the Constitution, lied to the public, violated human rights, cheated the taxpayer or spent time in prison for committing crimes while in government has either been appointed, promoted or has received lucrative contracts by George W. Bush.
We live in a nation where the good guy does not only finish last, but gets destroyed. This is a nation controlled by the bad and the ugly. The worst of the worst continue to hold every key important position in our nation. Every key official is eyeball deep in controversy. There is not one single Bush appointee that I can think of who does not have direct conflicts of interest with the intended purpose of his or her position within our government. This is an administration of foxes guarding the preverbial hen houses!
How much more will we take? How much more has to happen before the situation becomes irreversible? We will never recover from the damage being done to the nation, the world and the planet itself as a result of the current leadership in Washington; but maybe the destruction can at least be halted. Think about it!
