Ratings for Dr. Charles Peter Lichty
Great doctor. Knowledgeable, gets to the point while spending time to find about you, wonderful manner.
Love Dr. Lichty. Credit him with saving my life. His nursing staff are wonderful. His office staff are some of the worst I have ever encountered. I am looking for another practitioner because I cannot deal with the office staff any more and I hate their office voice mail system. I want to talk to a person, not a stupid voice response unit.
Dr. Lichty combines the confidence of a very knowledgeable physician, who connects with his patients at a personal level, keeps up with the latest treatments and techniques and truly cares about his patient's health. He takes the time to listen and understand. His staff is friendly and helpful. We are lucky to have him as our family physician.
Overall I am pleased with my visits and consider Dr. Lichty to be a knowledgeable and caring physician.
Dr. Lichty is reasonable, knowledgeable and very efficient. He is able to interpret life styles and accurately prescribe necessary medication.
We drive a distance to see him and its worth it! Cain Family
Pleasant personality. Knowledgeable. Helpful. Seems to enjoy what he is doing and places the patient needs as his first priority.

A tragedy of epic proportions.
What tools did the Vikings use to construct their ships? During the early years of the Song dynasty, while Sridhar Acharya's concept of "zero" was making it's way westward and a pair of anonymous Anglo-Saxon poets was committing the tale of Beowulf to animal skin, a Viking craftsman lost his tool chest. It is speculated that the chest fell overboard off a ship or through the ice into what was then a swamp on the modern island of Gotland, Sweden. The chest was unearthed in 1936 when a chain attached to the chest got caught on a farmer's plow. In it were the tools a Viking blacksmith/ship builder would need to ply his trade. Named the Mästermyr chest its discovery was a boon to archaeologists, historians, re-enactors, woodworkers and blacksmiths. The original tools (catalogue of the items) were restored and put on display. Numerous copies and tributes of the chest or selected tools have been made over the years including a complete replica of both the chest and contents made using period techniques as a 'net project of a blacksmiths and woodworkers.

Tools for the 1/12 scale craftsman
The Toolchest Site does what it says on the tin. Possibly the most mind blowing tool chest on the site is this masterful 1/12 scale reproduction based on the Hewitt chest at Colonial Williamsburg, done by celebrated miniaturist William Robertson. Everything works like the original, down to the lock and the included tools like the plane and the folding rule.

Admiralty code
|This article relies largely or entirely upon a single source. (November 2009)
The Admiralty System or NATO System is a method for evaluating collected items of intelligence. [1] The system comprises a two-character notation assessing the reliability of the source and the assessed level of confidence on the information. The Admiralty system is used by NATO member nations and members of the AUSCANZUKUS community.
Evaluation occurs in the processing stage of the intelligence cycle recognising that collected information cannot be accepted at face value. Each item of information used in the creation of an assessment is given an indication of source reliability and assessed accuracy, based on corroboration or other assessment. Each descriptor is considered in isolation to ensure that the reliability of the source does not influence the assessed accuracy of the report.
A source is assessed for reliability based on a technical assessment of its capability, or in the case of Human Intelligence sources their history. Notation uses Alpha coding, A-F:
- Reliability of Source
- A - Completely reliable
- B - Usually reliable
- C - Fairly reliable
- D - Not usually reliable
- E - Unreliable
- F - Reliability cannot be judged
An item is assessed for credibility based on likelihood and levels of corroboration by other sources. Notation uses a numeric code, 1-6.
- Accuracy of data
- 1 - Confirmed by other sources
- 2 - Probably True
- 3 - Possibly True
- 4 - Doubtful
- 5 - Improbable
- 6 - Truth cannot be judged
An assessment will provide a candidate course of action based on the coding of the items of collected information used to compile the assessment. The hypothesis will not be coded but the wording will caveat conclusions based on the levels of confidence indicated by the code.

Taylor Jungmann made big strides from his first Triple-A start to his first win. Monday night, in his third Pacific Coast League outing, the right-hander looked like a pitcher already very comfortable in his surroundings.
The Brewers' No. 8 prospect allowed one unearned run on four hits while striking out eight in 6 1/3 innings to pick up his second Triple-A win in Nashville's 4-1 victory over Iowa.
Coming off his first win for the Sounds five days ago, Jungmann (2-1) was methodical Monday, facing the minimum through his first two innings and working around traffic in the third. Cubs leadoff man Logan Watkins reached on a fielding error by first baseman Hunter Morris in the fourth and later scored on a wild pitch for the lone tally on Jungmann's line.
"It was nice to go out there and throw well to help my team win -- that's what I'm trying to do, get my team a win," Jungmann said after his first victory for Nashville on May 28 over Colorado Springs. "I felt good. It wasn't my best stuff, but I was able to throw strikes. I was able to come back in 2-0 counts."
Like that start, the Sounds never trailed Monday by virtue of RBI singles by Taylor Green and Jungmann, helping his own cause, in the bottom of the second. Nashville added a run in the sixth on a solo homer by Caleb Gindl and another on a throwing error by Iowa catcher Luis Flores that scored Jeff Bianchi in the eighth.
Jungmann retired nine of the final 11 batters he faced, striking out four batters over that span, including No. 6 Cubs prospect Arismendy Alcantara and No. 11 Christian Villanueva. Overall, the righty threw 55 of his 90 pitches for strikes and walked just one.
Donovan Hand gave up two hits but struck out two in the ninth to pick up his 12th save.
Iowa starter Dallas Beeler (2-2) allowed three runs on five hits while striking out three and walking one over seven innins.

Three people were shot inside a Newark club early this morning, police said, but their injuries are not considered to be life threatening.
Detective Todd McClendon, a police spokesman, said one victim was shot in the right thigh, a second in the foot and a third in the calf.
The shootings occurred just before 2:30 a.m. at the Flava Bar and Lounge, 24 East Park Street, around the corner from the New Jersey Performing Arts Center.
All three victims were transported to University Hospital, where they were reported in stable condition this morning.
Their identities were not immediately available. McClendon said the shooting remains under investigation and would not release information on a motive or possible suspects.

Is it possible to apply for a credit card with a soft pull inquiry? This is a question that is frequently asked. Obviously, the fewer hard inquiries you have on your credit report the better. But can you really get a new card using only a soft credit check?
While applying for a card will require a full credit inquiry, you can check which cards you'll likely qualify for with only a soft inquiry. While you're not guaranteed approval for the card when you actually apply, checking offers you're pre-qualified for can help you aim for the right products.
These soft-pull tools will help you browse offers you're likely to get approved for.
1. Capital One Card Finder Tool
This is a great service offered by Capital One that functions like the CardMatch tool mentioned above, except that it only features Cap One products. You can see which offers you qualify for without it affecting your credit. While it may seem limiting to only see Capital One offers, they are one of the largest card issuers and have a wide array of card offerings – everything from high-end reward cards to secured credit cards. It can be a great place to start when you don't know which level of card you might qualify for.
2. Chase's Pre-qualified Offers tool
Chase is another issuer that offers a proprietary tool that lets you see your pre-qualified offers. You'll need to provide your name, address, the last four digits of your Social Security number and some other info. Again, you'll see only Chase offers, but the issuer has a wide swath of cards, from cash-back cards to perk-heavy rewards cards for travelers.
3. CardMatch (checks across many major credit card issuers)
CreditCards.com has a new feature to match you with offers based on your credit score. Using this to check does not affect your credit because only a soft pull is performed.
I've seen this service tested with varying levels of credit (subprime, moderate, good and super prime) and the system results have been spot-on accurate. My friend with bad credit had no results available, but then my other friend with great credit was given two pages of offers.
Anyone can use this feature – regardless of your current credit level. And if you fall into the latter category you may be matched for exclusive signup bonuses which are higher than what the general public can get. That's a choice feature.
Go here to use CardMatch and see your offers in 60 seconds
3. Multiple account applications within a short period
A few years ago I applied for two different cards from Chase within a short period of time (if I recall correctly, it was within a 30 or 45 day window). And guess what? Only one hard pull from them showed up on my account. So I basically got a 2 for 1 special.

Teach yourself to learn or settle for a low-wage, dead-end job, says economist Tyler Cowen, author of Average is Over. Education Today talked with the professor and Marginal Revolution blogger at a recent OECD Forum in Paris.
To be employable at a decent wage, people need to "learn some skills which complement the computer rather than compete against it," says Cowen. "Some of these are technical skills, but a lot of them will be soft skills, like marketing, persuasion and management that computers won't be able to do any time soon."
. . . people who are very good at teaching themselves, regardless of what their formal background is, will be the big winners. People who do start-ups already face this. They've learned some things in school, but most of what they do they've had to learn along the way; and that, I think, is the future of education. I'm not convinced that our schools will or can keep pace with that; people will do it on their own.
Taking a class to "learn some topic is absurd," Cowen believes.
A class is to spur your interest, to expose you to a new role model, a new professor, to a new set of students. We should have way more classes which are way shorter. It should be much more about learning, more about variety, give up the myth that you're teaching people how to master some topic; you're not! You want to inspire them; it's much more about persuasion, soft skills.
On his blog, Cowen links to an Atlantic story on competency-based education, which "looks at what students should know when they complete a certain degree, and allows them to acquire that knowledge by independently making their way through lessons."

An estimated 4,000 people cheered the arrival of hockey star and hometown hero Brad Richards when he paraded the Stanley Cup through Murray Harbour Tuesday, July 28.
Published on July 28, 2015
An estimated 4,000 people cheered the arrival of hockey star and hometown hero Brad Richards when he paraded the Stanley Cup through Murray Harbour Tuesday, July 28.
Check out the map below to see what people were saying on social media about the celebration.
MURRAY HARBOUR – They say lightning never strikes twice — except in Murray Harbour.
Hometown hero Brad Richard electrified the cheering crowd Tuesday as he paraded through the village with the Stanley Cup in tow for the second time.
Once again, much like the victory lap of 2004 when he won with Tampa Bay, Richards was on board the family fishing boat with father Glen and mother Delite, and joined by the cup and his new wife Chelle and baby son Luca.
This time he was sporting a Chicago Blackhawks jersey and a smile as big as an empty net as an estimated 4,000 people cheered the arrival of the hockey star and the sport's Holy Grail to the community centre.
There were locals and kids, tourists and dogs, and even Mexican farm workers taking in the celebration under cool and cloudy skies.
"I think it's an absolutely fabulous day for us all,'' said storekeeper Otis Butler from across the road before the parade. "And to think this is the second time in our little community…..how lucky can we get…..I just can't imagine if there could be a Number 3."
That was a thought on the minds of many fans who gathered in hockey sweaters waving flags and signs of congratulations.
Rev. Lonnie Atkinson, who could be a stand-up comic, was the event MC and kept the ball rolling from the main stage podium even when the microphone suddenly went dead at the most inopportune time.
"Thank you Brad for being such a wonderful example for Prince Edward Island and let's hope you can bring us back another one in a different red sweater," said Premier Wade MacLauchlan.
The premier had to shout out his words since the sound system suddenly conked out.
Lt.-Gov. Frank Lewis was the first to deal with the microphone problem and was certainly less than impressed when it conked out four times during his attempt to address the audience. Atkinson attempted a fix, but Lewis, like fellow officials Cardigan MP Lawrence MacAulay and MLA Darlene Compton, all had to shout almost inaudible messages.
And just before Richards was called to the podium to speak to the thousands gathered, someone came to the rescue. Phillip Bulpitt was in the crowd and the sound man from the Kings Playhouse scrounged up some new equipment to make the fix.
Moments later when Richards took the working microphone in his hand, he looked at the official guests on the podium and provided a perfect deadpan.
"We just did that to keep your speeches short."
In humble Richards fashion, the hockey hero who just signed a $2 million contract with the Detroit Red Wings, thanked his community and family for the royal treatment and even speculated on a hat trick.
"When I brought the cup here 11 years ago, I thought, OK, I'll be back five or six times,'' he laughed. "Then I found out how hard it is to win this thing….but I'm thinking about another one."
The well-organized event was a tribute to parade manager Carol White and the volunteers of the Murray Harbour fire department and provincial public works employees who handled the parking and safety of such a huge crowd. A convoy of Eastern School Board busses helped shuttle fans from freshly cut fields acting as parking lots to the excitement of the noon time parade.

[Verse 1: Eazy-E]
Aw yeah, let's take a trip
Just sit back and light a spliff with this and don't slip
On a funky-dope track, jump back
Strapped with a fat buddha sack and a 7-8 'lac
Come clean, gangsta lean, I got green
Bud, I serve dubs like it ain't no thing
I hang with OG playas, don't set trip
Or you might get what we call a rat pack
I don't slack when it come to street
I kick real G-funk to a gangsta beat
It's so sweet, when you got money to spend
I got a proper big tilt and a fly-big Benz
I make ends, spend my dough on no ho
That's how it is, and that's how it goes
Act like you know when I creep real slow
Givin' love to them players that I know is real G's
[Verse 2: 2Pac]
Now ever since a nigga was a seed
Only thing promised to me was the penitentiary
Still ballin', ridin' on these niggas 'cause they lame
In a '61 Chevy, still heavy in this game
Can you feel me? Blame it on my mama, I'm a thug nigga
Up before the sunrise, quicker than the drug dealers
Tell me if it's on, nigga, then we first to bomb, bust
On these bitch-made niggas, hit 'em up!
Westside! Ain't nobody loved me as a broke nigga
Finger on the trigger, Lord, forgive me if I smoke niggas
I love my females strapped, no fuckin' from the back
I get my currency in stacks, California's where I'm at
Right? Passed by while these niggas wondered why
I got shot but didn't die, let 'em see who's next to try
Did I cry? Hell nah, nigga, tears shed
For all my homies in the pen, many peers dead
Niggas still ballin'
One of the 2 best known mixes featuring Eazy E, the other being the ''Real thugs'' remix

Cherry Blossom Wreath

Click here to view your Craft Projects.
Celebrate spring with decorative outdoor wreaths like this lovely Cherry Blossom Wreath. Jamielyn Nye's step-by-step guide to decorative front door wreaths will brighten your spirits and your decor.
Plain wreath from craft store
Spray paint
Cherry blossoms
Decorative bird house
Nest and eggs
Ribbon or yarn wire
Hot glue
Ralph Lauren glaze
The first thing you'll want to do is spray paint your wreath. There are so many fun colors… so get creative!
Then you'll grab your cherry blossoms branches and cut them each off.
Next I hot glued the cherry blossoms branches around the wreath.
Take a step back and look to see where it needs to be filled in more. You can also pull the individual flowers off and glue them to fill space. You can stop there, add a ribbon and call it quits… or keep going!
I found the cutest little wooden bird houses. Snatch up one of these bird houses and paint it however you'd like. I painted mine white and did the trim in lime green. Then I distressed it with the Ralph Lauren glaze. I also added glaze to my little eggs that I painted white.
I found these cute little nests. I spray painted my nests lime green and then hot glued them onto my wreath.
I wrapped the wreath with the yarn wire and then hung the bird house from it. I did have to screw in a little eyelet screw and tie a little knot around it to hold it in place. And then you are finished!

Very cute! I also appreciate that the author gave permission to stop before adding all of the decorations & calling it good. It's important to remember that sometimes less is more! I like the tastefulness of this design -- simpler & not so overdone.

Watch Dora the Explorer
Dora the Explorer is an educational cartoon that follows the adventures of Dora and her friends. The show has a TV-Y rating, making it suitable for children of all ages; however, the show targets children ages two to six years. Dora is a young Latina girl who often speaks Spanish. Throughout the show, Spanish words and phrases are frequently repeated, the aim of this being that young watchers will in turn learn and repeat those same words and phrases.
During each episode, Dora embarks upon an adventure where she is given a problem to resolve. She does so with the aid of her friends, Boots and Backpack. Other supporting cast members often appear, including Swiper, who is most often the antagonist of the show. Dora solves her problems through a series of tasks. It is during these tasks that Dora learns about different shapes, colors, numbers and puzzles.
Episodes of Dora the Explorer are often repetitive. While this may bore older viewers, it is a very effective way to teach preschoolers by reinforcing principles that are taught and then retaught from show to show. Preschoolers are big fans this show, as evidenced by the worldwide recognition of Dora and the fact that Dora the Explorer is broadcast in many different countries all over the world.
Parents and kids alike approve of Dora. Parents love that Dora the Explorer is educational and appropriate for all ages, and kids love the animated characters and positive story lines. Dora the Explorer is a balanced blend of education and entertainment that promotes the teaching of cultural diversity in a world that is becoming more connected and culturally aware.

Getting Personal: Erika N.L. Harold
Getting Personal is an email Q&A with a local personality. Here, Melissa Merli chats with Erika N.L. Harold, Urbana native and former Miss America who was a candidate for the 13th District seat in the U.S. House this year. In the Sept. 30 newspaper, we'll have a chat with Lisa Meid Hamelberg, creative director at Surface51 and 2012 ACE award recipient.
What time do you typically get up? What do you do the first hour of the morning?
I typically wake up around 7:30, drink a cup of coffee, answer emails, read various news articles online and review my notes for any court hearings I may have that morning.
What did you have for lunch today? Where? With whom?
Today I had grilled fish tacos at Shaw's Crab House with a law school student who is interviewing for a summer associate position at the law firm at which I work.
Best high school memory?
Whether it was singing in the concert choir under the direction of Willie T. Summerville or performing in "The Wizard of Oz" under the direction of Greg Chew, participating in Urbana High School's performing arts programs was the highlight of my high school experience.
Tell me about your favorite pair of shoes.
I performed the aria "Habanera," from the opera "Carmen," during the talent portion of the Miss America pageant. To complement my red velvet dress, I wore a pair of black Stuart Weitzman stilettos. These black stilettos were dramatic and glamorous and assisted me in transforming into the title character Carmen — one of opera's ultimate divas. Although I no longer wear these shoes, I have saved them as a reminder of one of the most exhilarating performances of my life.
What does a perfect Sunday afternoon include?
A perfect Sunday afternoon is playing at the park with my incredibly observant 3-year-old niece, Gabrielle, and answering her many questions — "Why do leaves fall from trees?" "Why is that little boy crying?" and "Who was messy and left trash on the ground?" I could not have fathomed how much I would adore my little niece and how much I would love being her Auntie Erika.
Was there one book you read as a child that you still cherish? Own? Read?
Laura Ingalls Wilder's "Little House on the Prairie," chronicling the adventures of Laura's pioneer family, remains one of my most cherished childhood books. When we were children, my sisters and I loved to dress up in costumes and pretend that we were pioneers like the Ingalls family. We were delighted when my mother handmade each of us a calico bonnet to complete our pioneer ensembles. While I no longer have that bonnet, the book's lessons of braving uncharted territories and relying upon your family for support still inspire me.
Where on Earth are you dying to go? Why?
Salzburg, Austria. One of my favorite movies, "The Sound of Music," was filmed in Salzburg, and I would love to visit the locations where those iconic scenes were filmed. I doubt that anyone would want to travel with me, however, because I most certainly would sing songs from the movie at each location.
Tell me about your favorite pet.
My family has two fiercely loyal Chihuahuas. Although they are small in stature, Jack and Shia bravely sit at the window each day, ferociously barking at every squirrel, car or cat that passes by the house. Then, at the end of their long days protecting the family home, they like to snuggle on the lap of whichever family member is willing to sit with them the longest.
Have you discovered that you are becoming like one of your parents? Which one and how?
I find that the older I get, the more I grow to look like my mother. People will often stop me and say, "You must be Donna Tanner's daughter; you look exactly like her." This pleases me, as we have affectionately nicknamed my mother "the ageless wonder," and I am hoping to age as well as she has.
What would you order for your last meal?
My grandmother Louise Tanner's baked macaroni and cheese, my father Bob Harold's specially seasoned cheeseburgers, a pumpkin spice latte and red velvet cupcakes.
What can you not live without?
I cannot live without my Bible. Whether it is the wisdom of the Proverbs, the encouragement of the Psalms or the exhortation of Hebrews, my Bible has been a timeless guidebook.
Who do you have on your iPod?
I have an eclectic collection of artists on my iPod, ranging from Beethoven to Gospel music artist Anthony Evans to Justin Bieber.
What's the happiest memory of your life?
My happiest memories are the now too rare weekends when all of my siblings and I return to my parents' house and stay up late into the evening, reminiscing about favorite childhood memories, watching old family videos — and being reminded of the blessing it was to have grown up in a house full of love and laughter.
If you could host a dinner party with any three living people in the world, whom would you invite?
Condoleezza Rice, Tim Tebow and acclaimed opera singer Denyce Graves.
What's the best advice you've ever been given?
The late Chuck Colson, founder of Prison Fellowship Ministries, often spoke of the importance of serving "the least, the last and the lost" — those who have been relegated to the margins of society, those whose lives are plagued by suffering and those who have lost hope. I had the privilege of serving on Prison Fellowship's board of directors with Mr. Colson and try to take his words to heart. I have found that it is in reaching out to those who are suffering — whether it be an inmate in prison, a child who is being bullied or someone simply in need of encouragement — that I have found the greatest fulfillment and have grown the most as a person.
What's your best piece of advice?
Stand up for what you believe is right, even if you stand alone.
What was your first job and how much did you make an hour?
My first job was working as an intern at WCIA-Channel 3 News for approximately $5.15 an hour. I had the privilege of learning from some of Champaign-Urbana's finest reporters and news directors including Dave Shaul, Dick Adams and Jennifer Roscoe and always will consider myself a part of the WCIA family.
What was a pivotal decision in your career and how did you arrive at that decision?
Deciding not to pursue a professional singing career was one of the most pivotal decisions I have made. During my senior year of high school, I strongly considered applying to college vocal performance programs in order to pursue a career as a classical singer. I ended up entering the University of Illinois' College of Liberal Arts and Sciences as a freshman but gave myself one year to decide whether to transfer to the School of Music. I told myself that at the end of that year, I would make a final decision and would not look back. During that year of decision, I often visited Smith Music Hall, attended student recitals and tried to discern whether I should transfer. At the end of that year, I decided against transferring, determining that music would remain a passion but would not become my profession.
Do you have a bad habit? What is it?
Excessive coffee consumption. When I was studying for the bar exam, I drank almost eight cups of coffee every day. I have made considerable progress in reducing my consumption and now drink about four cups a day. But every time another scientific study is released, touting coffee's health benefits, I feel a little less motivated to reduce my consumption and decide that perhaps my coffee vice is in fact a virtue.
How do you handle a stressful situation?
I pray. For me, prayer is both an act of humility, acknowledging my own limitations and weaknesses, and an act of faith, beseeching God to intervene in a situation with his mercy and grace.

The price of milk has been rising since mid-2013, but analysts are warning it could reach a record high next month. Local retailers say they're trying to keep prices stable to spare customers the sticker shock, but that may not be possible for long if demand for U.S. dairy products from countries like China continues at its current pace.

MUSKEGON, MI – Muskegon city commissioners have not even had a chance to discuss how to replace retiring City Manager Bryon Mazade and they already are getting advice.
Mazade told commissioners in an email last Thursday of his plans to retire, giving them a retirement date of Oct. 1. Mayor Steve Gawron called a special city commission work session for Thursday, Feb. 28, to discuss the process of selecting a new city manager.
Declared mayoral candidate Zawdie Abiade stepped before commissioners at the end of their Tuesday regular meeting and suggested this is not the commission to select the new city manager.
Abiade said that with voters selecting a mayor and two at-large city commissioners in the Nov. 5 city election, the next mayor and commission taking office Jan. 1 should select the new city manager.
In asking for the 2014 commission to select the next city manager, Abiade is suggesting that the city operate without a chief executive for several months after Mazade leaves Muskegon City Hall.
"Of all of the issues we talk about, I think replacement of this important position is so fundamental to the issues that we will discuss moving forward," Abiade told commissioners, pointing to other issues before them, such as the relocation of the Muskegon Farmer's Market and the redevelopment of the former Sappi paper mill property.
The commission that will be working with the next city manager should be the commission that selects the next city manager, Abiade argued.
Commissioner Larry Spataro directly addressed Abiade's suggested delay in replacing Mazade and flatly rejected the idea. Each commissioner who is elected to office must "take care of business when we are in office," said Spataro, who is vice mayor and the longest serving member of the commission.
"We are not a community who can afford not to have a chief executive for an extended period of time," Spataro said. "We need to have leadership in place. This is our responsibility to take. This is our responsibility."
According to Spataro, the current city commission will work diligently toward putting a new city manager in place by Oct. 1 as Mazade has given the commission more than seven months' notice of his retirement date.
On Thursday, city commissioners will begin to discuss the process they will use to recruit applicants, screen applications, conduct interviews and make a final selection. It seems that one of the first decisions the commission will have to make is whether it will conduct its own search or hire an outside executive search consultant, commonly known as a "head hunter."
Back in 1994 when then City Manager David Wendtland left the city to become head of the economic development agency Muskegon Economic Growth Alliance, the city commission at that time decided not to hire an outside executive recruitment consultant due to the cost, then anticipated at $25,000.
Instead, the city conducted its own nationwide search and received 75 applications, including Mazade who at the time was assistant city manager and interim chief executive during the search period. The city commission appointed a five-member citizens committee headed by former Mayor Norman Kruse who screened the applications and suggested candidates for public interviews before the city commission.
Mazade was eventually interviewed by the commission and selected, serving the past nearly 20 years as the head of the county's largest city. The process to select Mazade took from July to November in 1994.
The city commission special work session Thursday on the city manager selection process is at 5:30 p.m. in the commission chambers of City Hall, 933 Terrace. The meeting is open to the public and the commission allows for public comment on issues before it.

Free shipping over $50 ♥ 140.000 pcs of jewelry in stock ♥ Direct producer = best prices ♥ 17 years in business ♥ 500.000 satisfied customers ♥ 100% money-back guarantee
The purity of gold or silver represents the ratio of gold or silver in the alloy from which the jewelry is produced, the hardening alloy. It is not possible to produce jewelry and other objects made of pure gold or silver because these metals are simply too soft.
E.g. 925 (925/000 or 925/1000), alternatively known as "sterling silver."
The percentage of silver in the alloy, e.g. 925/1000 is 92.5% pure silver.
800 or 800/000 or 800/1000 – 80% silver
This type of silver is the most frequently used for cutlery (spoons, forks, knives, ladles, etc.), cups, plates, vases, statues and other similar large pieces. In some countries, jewelry is made of this lower quality silver (especially Egypt, Turkey, etc.)
900 or 900/000 or 900/1000 or "coin silver" – 90% silver
This type of silver is especially used in the US in the production of silver coins.
925 or 925/0000 or 925/1000 or "standard silver" or "sterling silver" – 92.5% silver
This type of silver is the world's most frequently produced silver, used to make high-quality silver jewelry. It is the standardized purity in many countries.
950 or 950/000 or 950/1000 or "sterling 950" or "Minerva silver" – 95% silver.
The name "sterling 950" is used exclusively in Japan (for historical reasons). The name "Minerva silver" is used in France.
"Britannia silver" – 95,84%
This is name and type of silver used exclusively in England (for historical reasons).
980 or 980/000 or 980/1000 silver – 98%
Sometimes called "Mexican silver," this type of silver is sometimes used for tea strainers.
999 or 999/000 or 999/1000 or "fine silver" or "pure silver" – 99.9% silver
This pure silver is too soft for ordinary use. This kind of silver is used for the production of investment bars.
E.g. 750 or 750/000 or 750/1000 or 18K
a) The percentage of gold in the alloy, e.g., 750/1000 is 75% pure gold in the alloy.
b) The proportion of gold in the alloy is given in carats. Take care not to confuse carat when used for gold to determine purity and carat when used for diamonds to determine weight. They are completely different entities. Pure gold is 24K (24 carat). For example, purity of 18K gold is calculated as: 18/24 = 0.75 = 75%. 14K gold: 14 / 24 = 0.583 = 58.3%
9K or 375 or 375/000 or 375/1000 – 37.5% gold
Used mainly in England, Russian and former USSR countries.
10K – 41.7% gold
Used mainly in the US.
14K or 583 (old marking) or 585 (new marking) or 585/000 or 585/1000 – 58.5% gold (some countries allow 58.3%)
Used worldwide, mainly in the US, Russia and Europe.
18K or 750 or 750/000 or 750/1000 – 75% gold
Used worldwide, mainly in the US, England, Europe and Arabic countries.
19.2K or 800 or 800/000 or 800/1000 – 80% gold
Historically used mainly in southern Europe (e.g., countries such as Portugal)
21K or 875 or 875/000 or 875/1000 – 87.5% gold
Used mainly in Arabic countries in the Gulf region.
22K – 91.6% gold
Used mainly in Arabic countries, Bangladesh, India, Pakistan and Sri Lanka
24K or 999 or 999/000 or 999/1000 – 99.9% gold
Too soft for ordinary use. This type of gold is used mainly in the production of investment gold bars.

Sorry, Mom, but those darned contractions last well after giving birth. Once the baby arrives, your uterus starts to tighten as it returns to its pre-pregnancy size and location. That means shrinking from more than two pounds to about two ounces and making its way back down into the pelvis. These postpartum contractions are called after pains — they're particularly noticeable when you breastfeed, which triggers the production of oxytocin, the hormone that causes the contractions. The good news is that after pains are short-lived, with the most noticeable contractions subsiding within a week (even the most subtle contractions disappear within six weeks). Just think of these pesky cramps as a reminder that things (namely, your uterus) are getting back to normal.
The day your baby arrives will be among the happiest of your life, but it's also normal to experience emotional highs and lows in the first days or weeks after giving birth. There's a lot going on to trigger mood swings, including hormonal changes, physical discomfort, and getting used to your newborn's demands, which translate into a shocking lack of sleep for you. To cope, be sure to give yourself time to adjust to the new normal, enlist help from family and friends, and try to rest whenever you can, all of which will help stabilize your mood. If you continue to feel down for more than two weeks, or if you feel like you can't take care of your baby, don't keep it to yourself. Tell your partner or a friend, and seek professional help as soon as possible.

Actor John C. Reilly brings character to concert at Miller Caves
The Miller Caves, underneath the brewery that not only made Milwaukee famous but also helped define the city itself, apparently never seemed, until Sunday night, like a place to hold a concert.
In retrospect, after the very first such event courtesy of John C. Reilly and Friends, the historic location was a small club waiting to happen: The painted backdrop of cavorting (presumably) Germans had retro style, as did the overhead lamps and the high-arched ceiling. »Read Full Article(4)

Take a seat
Milwaukee's historic house museums are offering patrons a seat at their annual fundraising event Wednesday. And, afterward — guests can take the chairs with them. The Villa Terrace Decorative Arts Museum and the Charles Allis Art Museum have been blessed with chairs — or artistic riffs on chairs — created by local artists for this auction at 6 p.m. at the Villa Terrace. The seats range from an old easy chair dressed as a cozy grandmother to a pew made from doors to a partial-chair that's now totally sculptural. Other seats for auction are ones at theatrical productions, sporting events or a table in a local fine dining establishment. The evening also features live music, hors d'oeuvres and a cash bar. Tickets are $25. Making a reservation would be appreciated and can be done by calling Ann Steinbach at (414) 278-8295 Ext. 5, but it isn't mandatory.

A dozen people who left their mark on the Thoroughbred industry this year. View Newsmakers
Achievement and retirement. Shame and success. Low points and comebacks. 2014 offered a taste of just about everything. Here are a dozen people who stood out this year for leaving their mark on the industry.
Owners Ken and Sarah Ramsey, trainer Chad Brown, and jockey Javier Castellano finished atop the standings in the inaugural Penn Gaming Racing Challenge, which concluded Nov. 29.
There will be a sense of normalcy, with no neighborhood competition from Calder Casino & Race Course, and a scent of some still-fresh paint Dec. 6 when Gulfstream Park opens its 2014-15 "Championship Meet."
Leave the Light On, owned by Klavarich Stables and William Lawrence, rode the rail at Aqueduct Racetrack to a wire-to-wire victory Nov. 29 in the $400,000 Remsen Stakes (gr. II) for 2-year-olds.
Dale Romans is hoping the extra distance of the $400,000 Remsen Stakes (gr. II) Nov. 29 will be worth the trip for Keen Ice and Thirtysevenliveson.
When Easter Gift finished a solid third to eventual 3-year-old champion Will Take Charge and Game On Dude in last year's Clark Handicap (gr. I), trainer Chad Brown was hoping that big things could be on the horizon.
Ranked first among owners with $9.77 million in earnings this year, Ken and Sarah Ramsey can add to that total Nov. 15 when multiple grade I winner Big Blue Kitten goes to post in the $250,000 Red Smith Handicap (gr. IIIT).

China Minzhong - Worth 3x The Current Price Once Farmland Matures 0 commentsJan 27, 2013 7:55 PM
Fair Value = S$2.70, currently trading at S$1.04
I've had a couple of readers request that I look at China Minzhong. It appeared on my original Singapore screen but I passed it up because of the S-Chip link. I subsequently decided to have another look at the company and since it's had a bit of a run lately, I thought I'd see if it's justified on valuation grounds or just a victim of the January effect.
China Minzhong is a leading vertically integrated vegetable processor in China currently trading at 4.0x 2013F earnings. As the free cashflows continue to grow with earnings and market begins to understand and appreciate the business China Minzhong has the potential to see a rerating and failing that the growing earnings will mean an investor will still be compensated for the risk taken.
As the current farmland matures and begins reach its potential yield, China Minzhong would be worth almost 3x the current price. In an optimal scenario China Minzhong could be worth 10.0x FY2013F earnings, in line with other small caps trading in Singapore. This isn't a huge ask for a business that has been showing a 42% CAGR in revenue and fairly stable margins over the past 4 years.
Variant View / Issue
The margins are too good to be true (GM = 38.4%, NM = 26.5%), suggesting that the earnings themselves are also an accounting manipulation.
Realistically, you could expect these margins from a vegetable grower and the RoE of 19%, isn't exceptionally above what you'd expect from a stable business.
China Minzhong was established in 1971, which was named as the "National Leading Dragon Head Enterprise" by the Chinese government in 2002. China Minzhong has two key business segments; Processed Vegetables and Fresh Vegetables. The Processed Vegetables segment produces over 100 types of processed vegetables that are air-dried, freeze-dried, brined and freshpacked. The products are distributed across 26 different countries and regions including the Americas, Asia and Europe.
Key Shareholders
China Minzhong was listed at S$1.20 in April of 2010 and has had a tumultuous journey since then because of an overhang and accounting scandals reducing the credibility of S-Chips. 2 out of 3 of the funds that were shareholders at the IPO needed to sell their combined 16% position in 2012 because of mandate requirements. The substantial increase in supply weighed on the price until recently.
The third fund that remains in the fray is GIC, under the alias of Tetrad Ventures, which currently holds slightly under 17% and is under no mandate obligation to sell the position. GIC's involvement increases the confidence in the credibility of the numbers because of GIC's track record and Singapore's views on corporate governance and accounting credibility.
Combined, Management hold 13.6% of China Minzhong and used the placements last year to increase their positions. Franklin Templeton also hold >13% of the company so any prospective investors would be in good company.
Management appears to be very experienced with Lin Guo Rong, CEO and Executive Chairman, having been with the company for >37 years. He was named as one of the "Top One Hundred Entrepreneurs" by the China Media Development Institute as well as having received numerous other awards. Wang Dazhang, CFO, has also spent >37 years with the company and had previous experience in the vegetable growing industry before joining.
I've tackled the valuation using a back of the envelope approach to determine what the revenue and profitability would look like if all of China Minzhong's land used for Cultivation was mature and cross checked this with the current multiples for peers.
Peers Sino Grandness and Yamada are trading at 4.6x and 2.4x earnings respectively, so a 3x multiple for MINZ doesn't appear demanding. I believe that if China Minzhong doesn't invest in any more farmland, as their existing farmland matures the business is worth at least S$2.70/share.
Overall, I believe that China Minzhong still has some room to run and as it continues to grow the valuation will continue to play catch up. This could be a great opportunity to pick up a high quality small cap before the institutions learn hear about the story.

A Phoenix native and graduate of Brophy Prep, the 6-foot-1, 184-pounder was originally provided a scholarship offer for the 2010 recruiting cycle, but the plan then briefly changed and Garoutte was slated to greyshirt and begin his college tenure this spring.
However, Garoutte enrolled at ASU in the fall to take classes and practice with the team and a scholarship opening ended up being available to him. For Garoutte to be able to join the team a semester earlier than expected was, to him, a tremendous blessing as he was able to be mentored by one of the nation's most experienced kickers.
"(Enrolling in the fall) was one of the best decisions I've ever made," confessed Garoutte. "To have been able to learn from Weber was one of the greatest things I could have done. He was a very inspirational guy. Some people look at freshmen and blow them off, but he taught me so much. Because of that I'm so much better from the day I got here."
In an odd way, it may be to Garoutte's benefit that Weber both enjoyed the ecstasy of national accolades as well as the agony of injuries and inaccuracy, as Weber's body of work enabled him as a senior to reflect and help prepare Garoutte for a potentially lengthy kicking career at ASU.
"The whole mental side of things is something (Weber) dealt with a lot," recalled Garoutte. "Being a kicker, when you mess up or have a bad day, you have a hundred people telling you what you should have done. Thomas was always giving me constant reminders and help with my technique and that is something that has helped me out a great deal."
Now that Weber has graduated and Garoutte is the primary option at kicker, he now faces the scrutiny and need for consistency that all placekickers face. Thus far in the spring, his performances have been admittedly erratic, though he has had times of showing an impressive, capable leg. On some occasions, Garoutte has shown the necessary poise to complement his power, while others have been marred by inconsistency.
"(My kicking has) definitely been up and down," admitted Garoutte. "I've had moments where I've shown what I can do and moments of inconsistency. I just need to really focus more on the little things and get more comfortable."
Most importantly for a kicker, as any football fan is aware, is his confidence – both self-confidence and confidence from teammates and coaches—and in Garoutte's case, head coach Dennis Erickson remains ultimately confident in the kicker's ability to perform at high level.
"Having the coaches' confidence really helps with my own confidence," said Garoutte. "This spring and moving forward toward the fall, I need to work on being consistent on my workouts; I need to go out there and treat every practice like it's a game and work to make every kick."
Though Garoutte is an unproven commodity in the college game, his high school résumé is an impressive one and he has shown no lack of leg strength and determination. Additionally, ASU's transition to a new kicker is a commonality among this year's Pac-12 squads, as six other teams have to replace senior kickers from 2010 and, as ASU fans are well aware, a seventh team in Tucson is searching for options to improve its kicking. To put it mildly, there may be quite a few games in the conference that are determined by the feet of newcomers.
With the 2011 season coming closer and closer upon the horizon, Garoutte has shown his coaches and onlookers mixed results but flashes of strength. Ultimately, the coaches believe he has every skill to be a gamer and has exhibited many similarities to his predecessor and have high expectations for Garoutte's rookie season on the field for ASU.
"It is very important for me to work as hard as I can to improve," said Garoutte. "I always expect to make every kick and will do everything I can to get to the point that I am (making every kick)."

Collecting baseball caps is a fun pastime for the avid fan. Now that you have a growing collection you may need some ideas for displaying them. This is a guide about displaying a baseball hat collection.
For my son's baseball hat collection I mounted a curtain rod at the top of his closet door. From it I hung the baseball hats, using metal shower curtain rings. (through the part in the back where you adjust the hat size). It is now a one-of-a-kind "valance", and is a neat way to keep the hats and still be able to see them.
By Chris from Levittown, PA
I would love to see a picture of this one! Please. I have a lot of hats to hang period. They seem to always fall off the coat rack!
Jennifer CA
I used small brad nails to hang my husband's ball caps. I hung them spaced around the ceiling of the den and bedroom, when he got to have so many.
By looneylulu from Ocean City, MD
I put up the clear plastic hook/hangers (the ones that you can get off without ruining paint) in a neat row on my son's bedroom wall. He proudly displays all his hats, while being able to easily see them, and grab whichever one he is wearing that day.
When we don't want the hooks there anymore, we can just remove them with no damage! He loves the extra freed up space and the ease of seeing all his choices quickly.

Nation's Top Cyber-Security Post Elevated
Wednesday, July 13, 2005; 5:09 PM
As part of a major reorganization outlined today, the Department of Homeland Security announced plans to give more bureaucratic heft to its top official in charge of keeping computer infrastructure secure, a move that critics of federal cyber-security policy have espoused for years.
Under a restructuring plan detailed by DHS Secretary Michael Chertoff, the upgraded position -- which will now include the nation's telecommunications infrastructure in its area of responsibility -- would be placed inside of a new directorate within the department, just two positions below the Chertoff's. The previous cyber-security director was situated five organizational rungs below the DHS secretary.
The department's current top cyber-security post remains unfilled following several recent high-profile resignations within the division. None of the three officials who held the post remained in the position for much more than a year, and all cited frustration with a lack of consistent access to highly placed administration officials.
Lawmakers in Congress and private sector officials -- many of whom have maintained that DHS cyber-security leaders have been denied the sufficient authority and resources to do their jobs -- roundly praised the reorganization plan, saying it should give the cyber division and its top officials much-needed legitimacy and direction.
Marcus Sachs, a former White House cyber-security advisor for the Bush administration, said the department's cyber division has failed in one of its most basic functions: providing early warning about widespread Internet attacks.
"There still isn't any timely reaction or response to the bad things happening online because they still have a very deeply bureaucratic process that prevents them from sounding the alarm," said Sachs, who now directs the SANS Internet Storm Center in Bethesda. "Hopefully this new position will give the [cyber division] the political clout it needs to push its agenda."
Rep. William "Mac" Thornberry (R-Tex.), who along with Rep. Zoe Lofgren (D-Calif.) co-authored legislation to elevate the authority of the department's top cyber official, said the development would "help ensure that these issues ... don't get buried by layers of bureaucracy," but added that much will depend on the quality of the candidate picked for the new position.
"It's important to have someone who is credible and that [the] industry has confidence in ... someone who can build the kind of trust and information-sharing relationship that you have to have to be successful in an effort where 90 percent of nation's computer infrastructure is in private hands," Thornberry said.
The shift should help the department build greater credibility with both Congress and the IT industry, said Harris Miller, president of the Arlington-based Information Technology Association of America.
"The appropriators on the Hill have been skeptical about [funding] requests from DHS because it's hard to justify spending more money on cyber when everyone thinks you're doing a crappy job with what you've been given," Miller said. "This new position should help the department set some clear priorities and timetables and a way to achieve those goals in a more meaningful partnership with the private sector."
The roles and responsibilities for the department's cyber czar were first laid out in the Bush administration's National Strategy to Secure Cyberspace, a document released in February 2003 -- when DHS came into being -- that envisioned protecting key areas of the Internet from digital sabotage as part of a broader strategy for guarding vital U.S. assets.
At the time, industry officials pushed for the person in charge of those efforts to hold an assistant-secretary-level position with direct access to then-secretary Tom Ridge. Instead, the position was placed several steps down in a job that answered to Robert P. Liscouski, then the department's assistant secretary for infrastructure protection.
Liscouski resigned in January amid criticism that he had impeded initiatives from the cyber-division that might have given it a higher profile, part of a string of resignations in and around the division. In Oct. 2004, former cyber director Amit Yoran unexpectedly quit the post after little more than a year. Yoran's predecessor, Howard Schmidt, stepped down after just three months on the job.
Schmidt replaced Richard Clarke, the department's first director, who abruptly left the department three months earlier after it became clear he would not be included in regular consultations with the Homeland Security director.
Liscouski had argued that cyber-security should be integrated with other security considerations, such as the physical security of power plants and transportation systems. The reorganization plan would give the new assistant secretary position sole responsibility for cyber-security and telecommunications security.
Although no full-scale cyber-attacks have occurred, terrorists and organized online criminal gangs can use the Internet for everything from passing messages to transferring money. And because so many networks interconnect, cyber-security experts warn that a weak link could threaten major avenues of commerce. Digital attacks against governments, businesses and consumers cost companies and individuals tens of millions of dollars a year.
Some of the priorities highlighted in the Bush administration's cyber-security plan including creating and managing a national disaster-recovery and cyber-response system, establishing a national program to reduce software security vulnerabilities, and sharing more information on cyber threats with private-sector companies and state and local governments.
