Anybody in Lubbock, Texas, have any information on the shooting that happened there Fiday night/Saturday morning when a homeowner shot a man who he found in his home ?
At church this morning, there was an announcement made that one of the member's grandsons had been shot and killed in Lubbock when he tried to enter a friend's home.
If it is the same incident, I'm guessing that the folks here have not been given the entire story yet.
Would appreciate any information the Lubbock posters on the board might have. If you can find out the name of the man who was shot, could you PM it to me ?
This is what I have been able to find out so far from the KCBD TV site, and it is very vague:
Homeowner Kills Home Invasion Suspect
A home invasion suspect is dead, after being shot in the stomach by the homeowner.
Police say the homeowner confronted a man who broke into his home around 3:45 Saturday morning in the 3000 block of 24th street.
The homeowner allegedly asked the man to leave several times before shooting the suspect in the stomach.
The suspect was taken to UMC.
He died Saturday afternoon.

Intruder shot by homeowner, police say
BY robin pyle
A Lubbock homeowner shot and killed an apparent home invader Saturday morning, according to police.
An alarm went off at about 3:45 a.m. inside a residence on the 3000 block of 24th Street.
Subsequently, the homeowner, 43-year-old Charles Mire, armed himself with a handgun and confronted an intruder in his living room, according to a Lubbock Police report.
Mire told authorities he warned the intruder several times to surrender, reports indicate. He then fired a warning shot into the ceiling above the intruder's head.
The alleged intruder, whose name has not yet been released, still refused.
The homeowner then shot the intruder once and called 911.
Mire told authorities he feared for his and his family's safety, according to reports.
The person was taken to University Medical Center, where he later died of internal injuries, according to police.
Crimes often occur from people that you know, those familiar with your habits and what you have in your house. Hopefully it was not the 'friend' of the family that was in the home in a suspicious manner and then got shot ...I think that about quadruples how bad something like this is. We'll just have to wait for the facts to come out.

Friends mourn death of shooting victim
BY robin pyle
Megan Sturdivant broke down in tears when she learned her friend was shot and killed Saturday morning by a Tech Terrace homeowner.
Her friend was 23-year-old Ross Baker, a Texas Tech engineering major.
Baker was shot at about 3:45 a.m. inside a home in the 3000 block of 24th Street. The homeowner, 43-year-old Charles Mire, told authorities he feared for his and his family's safety when Baker entered the home and set off the alarm, according to Lubbock police reports.
Mire said he warned Baker several times to surrender and then fired a warning shot into the ceiling above his head, according to reports.
Baker was taken to University Medical Center, where he later died of internal injuries.
"I was in complete shock," Sturdivant said. "I understand where the other person was coming from, being scared, but at the same time I can't believe he shot my friend and killed him."
She said she doesn't believe that Baker was doing anything criminal on Saturday morning, adding that Baker's family and friends believe that he must have thought he was at his own house, a residence in which he had just moved and located four blocks from the Mire residence in Tech Terrace.
The Mires said they wished not to comment on the shooting, but Amy Mire, Charles' wife, did say "It's a terrible tragedy for everyone involved."
Baker's family declined to comment on Sunday.
"It's just a horrible situation," Sturdivant said. "I still can't believe it."
Baker, who grew up in Weatherford, doesn't have a criminal history in Lubbock, according to police records.
"He was a really great guy, a real gentleman," Sturdivant said.
She recalls her friend as a funny person who also had a serious side. She said she loved spending time with him because he was fun to be around.
Baker especially loved hunting, fishing and skiing, she said.
To comment on this story:
Texas friendly spoken here.
Thanks for the update.
Sadly, that is the grandson of one of the older members of our church.
The young man was never in trouble a day in his life, and according to family members, did not do drugs or drink.
It seems that he had just moved to the neighborhood and was in the wrong house at the wrong time.
There will be an autopsy to determine if there was anything wrong that might have impaired his thinking.
My questions are:
How did he get inside the house ?
If he had no weapon of any kind, will this be a 'justified' shooting by the homeowner ?
I am not critical of anyone in the situation because I did not know the youg man, just have questions of my own from the position of both being a former LEO and a current CHL holder.
Being a college age guy and that time of night, made me wonder if he stumbled into the wrong house under the influence of alcohol. I'm thinking maybe the church family might know all the man's alcohol habits...or maybe it wasn't a habit. It just doesn't add up with out alcohol involvement.
What Would Gumby Do?
Homeowner not likely to face charges in shooting
The man who shot and killed an intruder in his Tech Terrace home over the weekend will most likely not be charged with any crime, the district attorney said Monday.
Charles Mire shot Ross Baker inside Mire's home in the 3000 block of 24th Street about 3:35 a.m. Saturday. Mire, 43, told authorities he feared for his and his family's safety when Baker entered the home and set off an alarm, according to Lubbock police reports.
Lubbock County Criminal District Attorney Matt Powell said the law allows a person to use deadly force if they fear injury or death.
"Finding a stranger in your home at that time in the morning - that's about as scary as it gets," Powell said.
Friends of Baker say that the 23-year-old Texas Tech engineering major must have been lost or disoriented when he entered Mire's home.
Baker had recently moved into a home four blocks from the Mire residence in the Tech Terrace neighborhood.
Marcus Davis, Baker's roommate, said Monday that Baker was not the criminal type.
"He didn't have any enemies," Davis said. "Everybody he met loved him. He would never hurt anybody."
Police say Baker entered the house through an unlocked side door.
Baker, who grew up in Weatherford, doesn't have a criminal history in Lubbock, according to police records.
Toxicology tests are still pending to determine if Baker was under the influence of drugs or alcohol when Mire shot him in the stomach with a 9mm pistol, according to police.
Prior to firing the fatal shot, Mire ordered Baker to surrender several times and fired a warning shot, according to police.
The district attorney's office will make a final determination in the case after the police hand over all the details of the shooting, including the toxicology report.
The shooting comes three months after Gov. Rick Perry signed into law a bill that gives Texans a stronger legal right to defend themselves in their homes, cars and workplaces.
The bill, backed by the National Rifle Association, states that a person has no duty to retreat from an intruder before using deadly force and provides civil immunity for a person who lawfully uses it.
To comment on this story:

Thanks for the replies, everyone. The grandparents here finally learned from the boy's parents that he had been to a party and had been drinking a lot. He had a policy of not drinking and driving, so he was walking home from the party.
The theory is that since he was new to the neighborhood and four blocks from his house, his intoxicated state had him disorientated enough that he thought the house he entered was the one he moved into a month ago.
As stated in the post above by portsider 44, He tried the front door, set off the alarms and woke the family. Two calls were made to 9-1-1. One from a child in the house, and one from the homeowner. The subject could not get in there, so he tried other doors. He found a side door to the house that was not locked, and entered the home. The homeowner confronted him and told him several times to leave, but he did not. I guess that in his intoxicated state, if he thought he was in his own home, he was probably wondering why someone else was there.
Apparently, the homeowner fired a warning shot into his own ceiling, then when the intruder still did not leave, he shot him one time in the mid section.
Tragic all the way around, but just another example of how too much alcohol can be deadly. The boy's family, as well as the homeowner and his family, will all have to live with this tragedy.
The DA has already cited Texas law saying that he doubts any charges will be filed against the homeowner since the incident fits all requirements of the law because the homeowner told responding Police Officers that he shot the intruder because he feared for the safety of himself and his family.
From the description of the kid, it doesn't seem likely he was there to rob or harm.
My secretary knows the shooter, and says he's a real stand-up guy too.
This is a case of just BAD LUCK. I don't drink alcohol at all, and don't oppose those that do. But it goes to show how important it is for us to maintain situational awareness regardless. If one drinks to the point of not knowing if he is in the right home or not, he has lost the situational awareness that otherwise would have saved his life.
So he entered the wrong house and was shot, it is just as easy for him to have been hit by a car because he wandered out into the street, or some other bad situation. I applaud that he wasn't drinking and driving, but the end results are still bad!
My sympathies to both parties. The family has lost a good child, and the homeowner must be feeling awful as well.

I have proof that charges filed against me are false and I want the arrest warrant recalled; what steps can I take?
I do not reside in the state of Georgia where the warrant is issued, and I want to resolve the matter without flying to Georgia as the plane ticket and travel are more than the alledged offense. Afterwards I want to sue the people who filed the complaint.
It's for a check.
I can give you a general response because I am not qualified to practice in Georgia. In general you would have to convice the prosecutor to dismiss the charge against you which would, in turn, require the Court to cancel the warrant. However, this is something you should not attempt on your own. Right now, there are criminal charges pending against you and anything that you say could, and probably would, be used against you. It is a lot easier to talk yourself INTO trouble than to talk yourself out of trouble. An experienced criminal defense attorney would be able to present information to the prosecutor to show that the charges are unjust. The attorney as your go between could assure that your statements would not be used against you. Of course, there is a chance that other information provided to the prosecutor would be used against you. A qualified attorney can advise you on this after interviewing you about the facts of your case.
Do not expect that an attorney will agree to represent you on the criminal case in hopes of getting paid when you win your lawsuit against the complainant. In many jursidictions, it is unethical for an attorney to accept a contingency fee for representing someone in a criminal case. Violating that rule could get an attorney disbarred. Contingency fees also would interfere with an attorney advising a client to accept a plea offer since by doing so the attorney would not get paid.
Finally, do not ignore this warrant. An outstanding warrant would be discovered if you attempted to enter or even leave the United States or if you get arrest for another offense or even stopped for a speeding ticket. It would also interfer with your ability to get bail if you are arrested on another charge. As you know you don't have to be guilty to be arrested!

In this powerful and dramatic biography Sylvia Nasar vividly recreates the life of a mathematical genius whose career was cut short by schizophrenia and who, after three decades of devastating mental illness, miraculously recovered and was honored with a Nobel Prize."How could you, a mathematician, believe that extraterrestrials were sending you messages?" the visitor from Harvard asked the West Virginian with the movie-star looks and Olympian manner. "Because the ideas I had about supernatural beings came to me the same way my mathematical ideas did," came the answer. "So I took them seriously." Thus begins the true story of John Nash, the mathematical genius who was a legend by age thirty when he slipped into madness, and who—thanks to the selflessness of a beautiful woman and the loyalty of the mathematics community—emerged after decades of ghostlike existence to win a Nobel Prize for triggering the game theory revolution. The inspiration for an Academy Award–winning movie, Sylvia Nasar's now-classic biography is a drama about the mystery of the human mind, triumph over adversity, and the healing power of love.

Howdy gentlemen. Thought I'd sign on and see what I can learn about CC for citizens.
The wife and I don't live anywhere that we feel threatened. Plano, AHEM, West Plano is a world full of clean Hummers even when it rains, oversized homes, and freshly sodded lawns. Hell, since moving here from Kansas, I'm even picking up a British accent and starting to wonder why poor people just don't work harder.
My wife is about to start staying home full time to raise a soon-to-be-born little girl and she's turning in to a security nut (see paragraph above). I don't know why, but apparently our safe surroundings, monitored home alarm, and 3yr-old Pit Bull mix aren't sufficient, so I taught her how to shoot a few of the guns in my arsenal. Perhaps it was upon hearing that my mother, a virtual stranger to my dog, was able to enter our home with her Yorkie while we were at work and was greeted with the wagging tail and licking tongue of my vicious Pit Bull mix.
Has anybody noticed that when there's a story about a Pit Bull killing somebody or injuring a child, it's always at a piece of crap home and the dog lived full time tied to a stake in the yard? Oops, wrong forum for that rant...
To me, taking a concealed carry course and getting the permit is more about picking up a new hobby than carrying, and as an American, I like to have the choice to carry if I felt like I wanted to. I don't know if I ever will even after qualifying. I'll probably pursue it this month or next.
I hope to learn much from this forum.
Thank you!

Enabling WebDeploy in an Auto-Deployed Azure Cloud Service
Posted : Monday, 31 March 2014 21:49:00
I've just started a fantastic new job at truRating – it's a really cool startup and 5 weeks in I am loving it. Its a really great team, great product and loads and loads of cool Tech. A large number of the components which comprise out application ecosystem are C# projects of one type or another and for the most part they're hosted in Windows Azure. After establishing the environments we will initially support and an effective naming strategy for the various components (essentially based around a <brand>-<environment>-<product> pattern), we're currently finalising our deployment/release pipeline.
My colleague Toby Reid did an excellent job of setting up TeamCity to build and deploy each of the components that comprise an environment and while this is very effective and well managed, there is a significant lead time (>10minutes) between the build being triggered and the code being available for any of the team to test/review/enjoy etc. This is principally down to the Azure resource commissioning system and the Blue-Green deployment process. While this is exactly what we want for most environments, one of the things we really need is a CD (Continuous Delivery) environment where, on every commit, the code is automatically compiled, unit tested and deployed to the CD environment as soon as possible.
One of the things I've become a massive fan of over the last couple of year is the WebDeploy deployment tool, there are tons of resources out there and I have blogged about how great it is before. Its a free install and easy to add via the Web Platform Installer. The principle attraction of the tool to me is just how fast it is – I previously worked in a team where we needed to deploy a platform consisting of 12 separate components and by moving from using MSBuild to build and deploy each step to a single initial step which built all the packages and then subsequent WebDeploy steps to actually install them the build time was cut by 60%.
NB this should not be implemented in a production environment for numerous obvious reasons. Also using WebDeploy in Azure requires the following (all reasonable) conditions to be met:
For development and testing purposes only
Only web roles can be updated
Can only support a single instance of a web role
You must enable remote desktop connections
I began a quest to see if we could use WebDeploy in our Azure cloud services...
After a few days struggling I have managed to discover, digest and harness the beauty that is WebDeploy in Microsoft Azure cloud services. This can be thought of as two distinct challenges. The first challenge is to create a cloud service capable of hosting a WebDeploy service, the second (and far more simple) challenge is to WebDeploy into the cloud service. Incidentally publishing from Visual Studio gives different results than publishing from command-line/TeamCity and given that what we want is fully automated deployment (why would you ever want anything but?) – the goal of this exercise was to support WebDeploy on a newly created Azure cloud service with no manual intervention.
I have covered the important parts of each step below:
1) Create the Microsoft Azure cloud service
The Visual Studio publish wizard gives a lovely helpful dialogue which is pretty clear about how to go about this:
Indeed hitting publish after completing the wizard creates a new cloud service with three endpoints (browsing port 80, Remote Desktop port 3343 and WebDeploy port 8172). Lovely. Save the publish settings and we're good to go right? Wrong!
I run publish from Visual Studio and can WebDeploy and Remote Desktop to the cloud service fine...
...but when I executed the build from the command-line the WebDeploy endpoint disappeared...
This drove me mad for about a day and a half!
So, Googling gave me nothing, Bing gave me nothing and DuckDuckGo DuckDuckWent! There were some helpful posts from guys a few years back but nothing since – I had to figure this one out myself. The heart of the problem was that Visual Studio MUST be doing something extra/different than plain old MSBuild from the command line. I ran the Visual Studio publish, verified the Cloud service was deployed with WebDeploy enabled and saved the contents of the Azure cloud project bin directory. Then I ran the build from the command line, verified that WebDeploy was not enabled and compared the service definition (.csdef) files from the two deployments.
The contents of the non-WebDeployable (non-working) ServiceDefinition.csdef file are shown below:
<WebRole name="YOUR_SITE_NAME" vmsize="Small">

So Visual Studio publish does "something" that causes the generated ServiceDefinition.csdef file to contain extra configuration data – slightly weird given that the source ServiceDefintion.csdef file used to generate these files was the same in both cases!
So to work out what extra magic Visual Studio was doing I set the Visual Studio output level as verbose as possible, published the project and examined the output - I found these lines in the log window…

...which then led me to the Azure SDK build targets file, this section in particular...
Enables Web Deploy on web roles if the user chooses to do so.
TargetServiceDefinition: (item) The service definition file that is actually published.
TargetServiceConfiguration: (item) The service configuration file that is actually published.

<Target Name="ConfigureWebDeploy" Condition="'$(EnableWebDeploy)'=='true'">

<Message Text="Adding Web Deploy component..." />
<Message Text="EnableWebDeploy is $(EnableWebDeploy)" />
<Message Text="WebDeployPorts = $(WebDeployPorts)" />
<Message Text="WebDeploy roles = @(RolesToConfigure)" />
<Message Text="TargetServiceDefinition is @(TargetServiceDefinition)" />
<!-- Add Web Deploy Plugin -->
RolesAndPorts="$(WebDeployPorts)" />
I fiddled about with the settings listed and sure enough, adding the argument below to the MSBuild command line...
…caused the extra configuration info to be included in the resultant ServiceDefinition file. Hooking this up to actually publish the service was a simple matter of adding the extra parameter to the TeamCity build step. TeamCity will give a warning if you set system parameters this way (ie via the command line) but I cant see that this one has any reuse potential so am happy for it to remain a command line arg.
2) WebDeploy the new code
This is super-simple compare to challenge 1, and involves getting either the IP address or DNS name from the Azure management console and plugging them into the command line build (or WebDeploy powershell Snap-In that comes with WebDeploy)!
Also bare in mind that any time the role is restarted the WebDeploy-able customisations will be lost and you'll need to redeploy the instance – this is due the the fact that WebDeploy goodness is added after the package is uploaded via startup tasks created dynamically and these are not reapplied when the role is recycled – we overcame this by adding logic to TeamCity to redeploy the whole instance to Azure in the event of any errors.
All this was very blackbox but its all good now – as stated previously there are limitations to using webdeploy in an Azure cloud service but IMHO its worth it – we can get instant (<1minute) feedback from other members of the team without needing to peer over a developer's shoulder – as I'm finding out things move fast in the StartUp world so every second counts. It's also pretty cool to know that despite all the great stuff that MSBuild and .Net give us, its not magic and if you can be bothered to poke around enough – the answers are there.

I have a working interview at a small bakery next week and the owner told me she would be able to tell right away if I am a good fit, what will she be looking for and how can I show her that? I only bake at home and am afraid my skills won't be what she is looking for.

I see your title is an "at-home-cook". Is this your first job in a bakery, or food industry?
I'm not baker so I can't advise you on what the bakery owner will expect, but one thing is universal in all kitchens, and that's clean as you go, always keep an immaculately clean work station.
Also label and date things you use and put away in the walk-in or reach-in.
Good luck!

It's hard to say what this particular person is going to be looking for but as Pollopicu said, cleanliness is key. If I were a potential employer I would hope that you could do mental conversions for liquid and solid measurements (i.e. instead of measuring out 30 teaspoons of baking powder measuring 10 Tbs instead or knowing how to convert grams to cups, etc), also knowing the different methods (cake, cookie, muffin, etc) or even how to properly measure flour whether by weight or by spooning it into a measuring cup and scraping the top.
Relax, have fun, speak respectfully and keep your ears and eyes open for learning opportunities. If you even applied then you probably have an interest and a passion that will also be attractive to an employer. Do your best and express a willingness to learn to perform her way.

Well......I WAS a baker and what I would be looking for would be:
How do you handle yourself in a commercial facility
Do you work fast
Do you work clean
Do you know your measurements in both English and Metric
Can you use bakery equipment and know how
Do you understand yeast and what its' parameters are
Can you bake cookies, pies, cakes, muffins, cupcakes, etc.....day after day after day, with consistent results.
When this person says, she can tell right away whether you are a good fit, the above is what she would be looking for.....Good luck.

Agreed that teachable is the big one...even if knowing that someone has substantial experience. Listen closely to any instructions you are given, ask questions if you do not know something, but hold any questions if the person you are asking is obviously busy. Do not offer any unsolicited advice on how to do something differently than they way it is being done (with the exception of potential sanitary issues)...the time for that is after you have established yourself there.
Cleanliness is very important as well. Clean as you go, don't leave a big mess in your work station, put everything in its proper place. Do not touch anything with your bare hands that is ready to go into someones mouth...use gloves or tongs or some other utensil. Wash your hands if you touch your face or hair.
Move quickly but not so fast that you lose control of what you are doing. In any kitchen, economy of action is key. i.e. if you need to grab something from a refrigerator, get everything you need in one go instead of two or three. Speed comes with time and familiarity, as muscle memory takes over. Just don't be slow and inefficient.
Do not waste anything. When transferring food from a container use a spatula to get every last bit of it out.
If you aren't doing something, clean something or ask what else you can do.

The seismic refraction shooting experiments undertaken in the eastern Atlantic and on the neighbouring continental shelf are briefly described, and the results compared with previous work. The deep-sea results show that basaltic rocks lie immediately below the sedimentary layer, which is variable in thickness, with a mean of about 1 km. The basaltic rocks extend to the Mohorovicic discontinuity at a depth of between 9 and 13 km below sea-level. The results from the stations on the continental shelf at the mouth of the English Channel confirm that the basement rocks slope gently seaward; the value of this slope and the nature of the sedimentary cover vary with position.

That night, those fans were convinced the club's latest signing — who honed his skills while living in a caravan park — would become one of the club greats.
It did not matter to them that Rafael van der Vaart had missed a penalty and been sent off in the Champions League tie against FC Twente.
He had also scored an excellent goal and displayed such skill and appetite that the supporters were convinced they had a player to idolise in the way they had Jurgen Klinsmann and David Ginola.
For other Spurs supporters, though, the glass was half-empty. Yes, Van der Vaart's talent and charisma had shone throughout and lifted his team-mates but the needless challenge that earned him a second booking early in the second half seemed to reveal a footballer playing too close to the edge.
They wondered whether Real Madrid had sold Van der Vaart for only £8million because of this apparent flaw in his temperament. Had Spurs bought a player with the flair of Ginola but also with the Frenchman's tendency to blow a fuse?
Yet for those who have followed both Van der Vaart's early career and his time in Madrid, he will not lose his composure regularly. Friends in Holland and Spain attribute the 27-year-old's poor judgment against Twente to his fierce desire to succeed, rather than to a petulant nature.
Van der Vaart's Spurs career is only six games old, so it is too early to evaluate his temperament properly. As he prepares to play his seventh against Fulham tomorrow, though, it is fair to give him the benefit of the doubt.
"It was really extraordinary because I have never seen him red-carded before," said the player's biographer and close friend Mark van den Heuvel, who has known the Dutchman since he was 16.
"It was a bit wild and silly but it was just a case of Rafael wanting to prove himself. It's not a case of a suspect temperament."
Another acquaintance, a Madrid-based journalist, agreed. "He is just not that kind of player. The news of what happened against Twente came as a surprise to everyone in Spain. I'm sure it was just due to over-enthusiasm.
"People at Madrid were very sorry to see him go. They liked the way he played and he was very popular with the other players: a no-nonsense character. Even though he had a stop-start career at Madrid, when he did get a chance, he would step in and play as though he had been in the team for weeks.
"Last summer, Mesut Ozil and Sergio Canales joined Madrid, so Rafael thought there would not be room for him. But during his two years he scored goals, made goals and gave 100 per cent . . . so Madrid sold him!"
In leaving the Bernabeu for north London, Van der Vaart allowed his head to rule his heart. There is a strong Spanish influence in the family: his mother, Lolita, and her parents, Rafael and Dolores, are Spanish and lived in Cadiz,
Andalusia, before they emigrated to Holland.
Because of this, Van der Vaart understood Spanish — even though he was too shy to speak the language as a boy — and had always wanted to succeed in Spain.
Both his father, Ramon, a striker, and younger brother, Fernando, played football and have represented De Kennemers, a small club in Heemskerk near Amsterdam, but neither was able to make the same progress as Rafael. Ramon and Lolita raised the family on a caravan park near Beverwijk but their son was on Ajax's radar from the age of 10, after he had impressed coaches at an open day.
"As soon as Rafael could walk he was running around with a ball. I encouraged it," said Ramon.
"He liked it so much and we played a lot together. I soon found out that he was born with an amazing talent and a cultured left foot, with which he could shoot with accuracy and power. We were very proud when Ajax decided he was good enough to join them."
Since he joined Ajax, Van der Vaart has spent his career surprising people. When he was given his first professional contract aged 16, first-team football appeared a distant target but Van der Vaart's talent was so prominent that he made his debut almost immediately, against FC Den Bosch in April 2000.
Five years later, Europe's best teams were chasing Van der Vaart but he chose to move to SV Hamburg, a less prestigious club than Ajax. Yet Van der Vaart and his wife Sylvie, whom he married in 2005, felt instantly at home in the German port and the move did not damage his career because Van der Vaart joined Spanish giants Real Madrid in the summer of 2008.
At this stage, the Tottenham deal looks a superb investment for both parties. Spurs get a genuinely world-class player; Van der Vaart a stage he can dominate.

Representatives surveyed for Area Development's 24th Annual Corporate Survey last year ranked energy availability and costs as the fourth most influential location driver - up from the fifth spot in 2008 - with a combined score of 88.0. In the companion 6th Annual Consultants Survey, site selection consultants ranked the factor as the seventh most important - a drop of three places from 2008 - with a combined score of 89.7.
Corporate managers appeared only slightly more concerned with energy availability and costs in 2009 than they were in 2008. The 2009 score is only 0.1 percent and one position higher than in 2008, a year when energy costs spiked and supplies came into question. Consultants showed similar concerns, with the factor's score shifting only 1 percent, although that contributed to a drop of three positions.
Other ConsiderationsCorporate respondents viewed labor costs, highway accessibility, and tax exemptions as more important than energy considerations. But site selection consultants ranked highway accessibility, labor costs, occupancy or construction costs, availability of skilled labor, state and local incentives, and availability of land above the availability and cost of energy in making location decisions.
In both instances, the combined scores showed little change over the years, while shifts in other factors contributed to the rankings of energy availability and costs in 2009. Notably, occupancy or construction costs dropped from the third to seventh spot, and corporate tax rate rose from the eighth to fifth spot in the Corporate Survey, while labor costs moved from the tenth to second spot with the ascent of real estate factors in the Consultants Survey.
Cost of ConsumptionIn 1999, the average spot market price of a barrel of crude was $16.56. By 2004, that price had more than doubled to $37.66 in 2004 dollars, and $43.17 adjusted for inflation. The price continued rise to an average of $91.48 in 2008 before a drop to $53.48 in 2009, and currently $69.85 at press time. Geopolitics and China's thirst for crude have magnified this market disruption.
Natural gas, too, has fluctuated substantially. Since 2007, average natural gas prices rose from a spot price of $7.18/mm BTUs to a high of $9.12 in 2008. Prices then receded to an average of $4.06 in 2009 and $4.57 at press time. Next year's price forecasts fall in the $5.49 to $5.50 range. These averages have varied dramatically across the country and for end users of the fuel. Considered together, these experiences have focused greater corporate attention on the availability and cost of energy in location decisions. With the pressures for renewable energy availability, costs climb, reflecting new layers of infrastructural, regulatory, and technological impacts.
Given the price volatility (as evidenced by the significant escalation) that has occurred over the last 10 years, corporate site selectors are predictably cautious when they consider energy factors in the context of their projects, hence their emphasis on energy availability and costs.
In virtually every corner, expectations foreshadow future increases in energy prices. The world's continuing demand for energy amplifies concern over availability and costs. Accordingly, continued sensitivity to energy issues will guide many future corporate investment decisions, which will come more frequently as the recession winds down. The more energy intensive the investment, the more that investment decision will be predicated on the availability, reliability, and cost of energy supplies.
Alternative EnergiesThe likelihood that renewable energy sources will skew the current balance of relationships among popular fossil fuel options in the near future is unlikely. Nor will the regional persistence of hydropower or nuclear generation give way to alternatives to an extent that will shift consumption patterns toward non-traditional generation technology. The cost differentials remain too high.
Over the next 25 years - as political and social pressures mount in favor of wind, biomass, solar, and hydrogen - energy economics will achieve an equilibrium whereby alternatives will constitute some 25 percent to 30 percent of total generation capacity in the United States, experts believe. This shift will occur in the context of greater fossil fuel extraction throughout the country. Whether natural gas from the Marcellus Shale or crude oil from the Outer Continental Shelf, technology will contribute to greater energy supply certainty along with business' drive for energy efficiency and price rationalization.
Companies are always looking for new ways to increase efficiency. The search for efficiency is especially vital in the face of intensifying global competition as companies strive to establish and sustain a competitive advantage in the marketplace. Take the recent announcement of the BMW and SGL carbon fibers manufacturing facility in Moses Lake, Washington. This German joint venture cited a cutting-edge technology manufacturing operation that is highly energy intensive, but with a twist: it favors sustainable energy. The Moses Lake site satisfied both the sustainability factor in a cost-effective way, and the manufacturing and supply chain imperatives of the project.
Energy availability and cost were critical for making decisions on this project, as they are for most manufacturing, data center, and automated logistics operations. Additionally, generation mix, reliability, cleanliness, redundancy, and stability of supply are all common concerns. So these factors add to availability and cost to raise awareness of energy's role and relevance in the investment decision process.
Higher energy costs will soon lead to new product innovations, particularly in the transportation equipment and medical industries. Engineered materials, once the sole province of the aerospace sector, are finding their ways into many other applications. The Center of Innovation for Biomaterials in Orthopaedic Research (CIBOR) in Wichita, Kansas, adapts aerospace materials to the design, engineering, and manufacture of orthopedic implants. Such implants extend the serviceable life of these replacement devices, increase device manufacturing flexibility, and ultimately reduce production costs. In the "Air Capital of the World," CIBOR is adapting an aerospace process to a medical demand to improve efficiency, longevity, and system costs.
The Future of FuelSimilarly, energy-driven innovation is affecting building materials, construction techniques, design standards, electronics, logistics services, and more to reduce costs and enhance efficiencies. Products like plastics no longer stem solely from petrochemical feedstocks. Soy and its derivatives have given rise to a new generation of substitute materials intended to reduce our dependence on crude oil and extend the availability of conventional energy supplies.
Alcohol- and oil-based products from biomass will supplement fossil fuels and their derivatives such as diesel, aviation fuels, and gasoline over the coming decades. Such intermingling will likely raise prices while extending supplies. Furthermore, new fields may loosen conventional natural gas supplies and moderate price fluctuations while relieving pressures on heating oil supplies in the Northeast. Overall, energy availability and costs will remain key variables in a transition to a more varied generating mix.
The keen interest in "gasohol" and corn-derived ethanol is giving way to fuel alcohol production from other non-food crops. Algae offer great potential as sources of biodiesel and alcohol fuels, as well as foundation compounds upon which plastics rest. How much of a supply and cost impact this will have on energy prices, and when that impact becomes noticeable, remains to be seen.
Efforts to wring efficiencies from our energy systems through smart grid developments and by returning attention to historic energy sources combined with current technologies show promise. The prospect of synthetic fuels produced from coal through a process called "gasification" that can result in synthetic natural gas (SNG) and liquid fuel is regaining popularity. The United States' 800-year supply of coal, only a fraction of the world's coal supply, draws consistently greater attention as a legitimate part of the solution to our energy availability and cost challenges. Federal and state governments and private investments in these technologies suggest that, like nuclear generation, we recognize the potential for new solutions borne of once-discredited means.
While the 2009 Corporate Survey indicates that energy availability and costs were slightly more important than in 2008, it must be considered in context with the shocks delivered in 2008 that bore bitter fruit in 2009. Energy costs are fluctuating higher and will continue to do so.
Energy availability and costs will exert significant influence on virtually every business enterprise as these costs permeate all aspects of manufacturing and logistics. Those factors will continue to color the landscape and influence location investment decisions. But this time, we won't quickly forget the strategic lessons of crude oil dependence. Those communities that use their resources to collaborate with industry, higher education, and public policy initiatives will reap the benefits of private and institutional investments in energy savings and innovative product technologies.

When your Mercedes-Benz 560SEC was born, it was destined for a driver who values European styling in their automobile. You purchased your 560SEC because its a reputation for strength and German engineering struck a chord inside you; so why would you settle for second best when it comes to great quality auto parts? Anyone who owns a Mercedes-Benz knows that when it comes to fixing their car, truck, or SUV only the most superior replacement parts will do. Make no mistake, you didn't buy your 560SEC unless you wanted to buy long-lasting quality and dependability both impeccably combined into one automobile.
If steering weren't important, then all of our roads would be completely straight and there would be no need to turn. Inspired by our own human body, the Mercedes-Benz 560SEC ball joint resembles the ball and socket joint that connects our upper arm to our shoulder. Connected to our control arms, ball joints are a vast improvement over king pins; which pivoted the front spindles left and right but did not allow for any movement inward or outward. Rather than turning the spindle on just one plane, ball joints provide room for your spindles to wobble or pivot up and down.
Trust in the value of the parts you get from carpartsdiscount.com and realize incredible savings on all your upcoming repairs. Ordering new Mercedes-Benz parts from www.carpartsdiscount.com means you are paying the lowest prices for the highest quality original and aftermarket replacement 560SEC parts on the internet. Get your 560SEC back on the road with the best new or rebuilt parts from the experts at Car Parts Discount. Mercedes-Benz 560SEC Ball Joint parts for 1991, 1990, 1989, 1988, 1987, 1986 vehicles are available here... just click your year to find them.

Rue & Ziffra take pride in being Port Orange attorneys serving the citizens of Volusia County and surrounding cities. At the law offices of Rue & Ziffra, we will provide every client with an experienced Port Orange lawyer.
The community of Port Orange was officially established on April 26, 1867. The city is located on the banks of the Halifax River South of Palm Coast, North of New Smyrna Beach and East of Deltona. It is situated in Volusia County, Florida and occupies 28 square miles of land.
Port Orange is made up of around 150 distinct "neighborhoods" with 14.6% of inhabitants ranging in age from 35 to 44 years old. It maintains six established elementary schools, including Horizon Elementary and Port Orange Elementary, two middle schools and four high schools, including Spruce Creek High School and Atlantic High School.
According to http://www.port-orange.org/, the Port Orange community is "characterized by a stable and successful business climate that nurtures and embraces quality businesses."
Although Port Orange is one of the smaller cities tucked away in Volusia County, it supports some big initiatives.
To provide growth and opportunity for upcoming businesses, the city of Port Orange wants to develop a mixed-use retail, office, restaurant and entertainment area. The project is focused on creating an intracoastal waterfront development (called Riverwalk) that will occupy about 35 acres of land along a ½ mile stretch of intracoastal shoreline.
For over 30 years, the law office of Rue & Ziffra has maintained its main office in Port Orange, Florida and has become a member of the Port Orange Chamber of Commerce. After experiencing growth in terms of staff and clientele, management felt the need to expand the firm's office space. As a result, In December 2010, the firm purchased a vacant office building located on the lot directly next door. Employees from four departments, including Worker's Compensation, Medical Malpractice, Social Security Disability and our Litigation team, were moved to the new location. The addition of the new building not only provided more space for our clients (by making room for two additional conference rooms) but also more working area for our staff.
As always, we offer a free consultation for anyone who has legal questions or who has been involved in an automobile accident or other type of personal injury claim. To receive a consultation, please call 1-800-JUSTICE and ask to speak with one of our experienced Port Orange attorneys.
You can find our main office at:
632 Dunlawton Avenue
Port Orange, FL 32127
(386) 788-7700
Because our main office is located in Port Orange, our firm is involved in many events and charities from around this area. Below are some of the Port Orange events and organizations Rue & Ziffra has been proud to sponsor.
During the last weekend in September 2011, the city of Port Orange holds their annual Family Days festival in the City Center complex. Rue & Ziffra has been happy to sponsor and set up a booth at Family Days each year, in order to get involved with the community.
The festival usually has carnival rides, food and entertainment that is fun for all ages. It typically lasts for four or five nights and is open to the public.
For the past few years, our firm has sponsored the annual Port Orange Christmas Parade. We have participated in many ways, by building our own float one year and by providing hot dogs and beverages for those watching from outside of our office. The parade takes place on Dunlawton Avenue in Port Orange, travelling from Nova Road to Ridgewood Avenue east towards the Atlantic Ocean.
Because Port Orange is home to many schools, our firm is often called upon to donate gifts and supplies to the community's students. A few school groups we have helped to sponsor and support include:

China stocks battered by deleverage moves, industrial data
* CSI300: -1.6 pct; SSEC: -1.5 pct; HSI: -1.2 pct
* China sec regulator restricts OTC swap business
* China industrial profit falls for five months in a row
SHANGHAI, Nov 27 (Reuters) - China shares fell over 1 percent on Friday morning, heading for their biggest one-day drop in a month, hit by fresh regulatory crackdown on leverage activities and weak industrial profit data.
The wave of bad news, which also includes regulatory probes into several big brokerages, hit already fragile market sentiment as investors brace for a fresh batch of initial public offerings that will kick off next week.
The blue-chip CSI300 index fell 1.6 percent to 3,699.40 points at the end of the morning session, while the Shanghai Composite Index lost 1.5 percent, to 3,580.18 points.
The indexes are poised to fall the most in four weeks, and heading for their worst weekly performance in two months.
Mainland stocks fell across the board, with the industrial sector among the worst casualties, reflecting gloomy outlook.
The bearish sentiment spread to Hong Kong as well, knocking down the benchmark Hang Seng index by 1.2 percent to 22,211.81 points while the Hong Kong China Enterprises Index lost 2.0 percent, to 9,905.50. All main sectors in Hong Kong were in negative territory. Continuación...

Shadow Chancellor Oliver Letwin will today warn that the country has developed an unhealthy obsession with minimising risk.
In a speech in London, he will say that traditional cultural events such as the annual bull-chase through Pamplona in Spain would never be held in Britain because of the nanny state, which "would never allow human beings to submit themselves voluntarily to such risks".
Mr Letwin's speech is the latest in the Tory attack on "compensation culture".

The Vatican Tapes
Published: July 25, 2015
The Vatican Tapes, "The Vatican Tapes" isn't the latest attempt at milking the dreaded found-footage fad, and for that reason alone critics around the country who suffer from vérité fatigue can breathe a collective sigh of relief. Nevertheless, it remains the latest attempt at milking the possession fad. The film from director Mark Neveldine is so over the top that one can't help but imagine how the Wayans brothers might lampoon it, then embarrassingly recall them doing exactly so in "A Haunted House."
The Vatican dispatches Cardinal Mattias Bruun (Peter Andersson) to America to perform an exorcism after learning of the satanic possession of Angela Holmes (Olivia Taylor Dudley), a twentysomething blogger who's apparently an expert on the difference between Satan and the Antichrist. Since Angela accidentally cut herself at her birthday party, she's been able to summon ravens, speak in tongues, cough up eggs and compel a police detective to gouge his eyes with two light bulbs.

Is Carnival on a Decline?
Sail Date: July 17, 2016
Reviewed: 10 months ago
Traveled As: Couple
Room Type: Balcony
This was our 3rd Carnival cruise and 8th cruise overall. Until this point we had been very please with Carnival and the level of service and food quality when compared to the other cruise lines we have sailed with. This time, we were disappointed in what appears to be a decline in service, an overall reduction in the availability of food and the food quality. With regards to the service, we've always had our room cleaned after we left the cabin regardless of the time of day we finally got up and going. We always came back to our room each night to find our cabin had "Turn Down" service. This time, on the first day, our steward let us know that we would need to call if we left our cabin after a certain time if we wanted the cabin cleaned, we also had to opt for nightly "turn down" service. With the food, this was hit and miss. The dining rooms appeared to still have the quality of food that we've always known and the steak house was just absolutely excellent. But the buffet and food quality was definitely down as well as the "extra" offerings we've experienced in the past did not happen such as midnight buffets. Just another thing I noticed was that certain food items on the buffet were no longer serve yourself as much as you want and you actually had to request the item, ie., Bacon.

|Cabin / Stateroom
|Absolutely horrible. While ships engineers stated that the room was within guidelines @ 72.5 degrees, the room was uncomfortably hot. The room was so warm we could not even sleep the last 2 nights. We had the thermostat turned as cold as it would go and the room never got below the apparent 72.5 degrees. It felt much much warmer. We were never able to enjoy having the drapes open because we could not risk having the room heat up more than what it already was.
|Embarkation and Disembarkation
|They do this process every week. Every Sunday, a group leaves the ship, another group boards. Disembarkation was longer than we've ever experienced. We finally left the ship almost 3 hours after the process started and well over 1 hour after what was suppose to be our departure time slot. Even a crew member commented that this was going unusually slow. We literally we leaving as the new group of passengers should have been boarding.
|Destinations and Excursions
|Loved Cozumel as always. We were impressed with how clean the small shopping area in Honduras was. However, the same cannot be said of Belize City. If you just wanted to go ashore, there was absolutely nothing to do or see in Belize City. It was very dirty and limited to a very small area. We spent more time getting off the ship and back on than we actually spent time in Belize.
|The comedian was incredible. We thought the Bingo offerings were very limited and offered at odd times. One day it was only during one of the evening dinner times.
|Service and Staff
|Room steward was not up to standards we had had on previous cruises. We had let our steward know if we were going to need late service, we also had to "opt" in for nightly turn down service. This was always just down on previous cruises.
|Food and Dining
|What happen to midnight buffets? What happened to multiple choices at the buffet and it changing each day of the cruise? Also appears some food items are now controlled rather than serve yourself as down with other food items. This cruise bacon was only available by asking a serving in the line for what was a very limited serving.

|New Orleans, Louisiana
|Of course no trip to New Orleans is complete without going to Bourbon Street and Cafe DuMonde, but take a tour of the WWII museum. The museum is well organized and gives such great interactive history to both the European theater but also the Asian/Pacific theater of the war. It was so compelling.
|Mahogany Bay, Roatan, Bay Islands, Honduras
|Belize City, Belize
|If you want to enjoy Belize City, you must book a shore excursion. Just going ashore on your own offers absolutely nothing except about 2 blocks of dirty shops.
|Cozumel, Mexico
|Take a cab into the old downtown area. It is really a great area to see the true spirit of the people that live there and there is also great shopping and restaurants in the area.
