Exim Bank to evaluate SMEs on non-financial basis
Elina Mohanty
Mumbai , Sept. 3
The Export Import Bank of India with the International Trade Centre, Geneva plans to develop a model for evaluating small and medium enterprises on a non-financial basis. "Most of the banks judge SMEs on financials. This model will take into account the non-financial parameters of a company," said Mr Shankarnarayan R. Rao, Executive Director, Export-Import Bank of India.
Non-financial factors include experience of promoters and the export potential of the product being developed including its uniqueness. "This model would be the first of its kind in India and will be implemented this fiscal," said Mr Rao.
Exim Bank's total SME portfolio is worth Rs 2,700 crore and forms roughly 20 per cent of the bank's total loan book, the official said. The bank has Lines of Credit worth $2 billion.
Manufacturing and agro-processing sectors are expected to show good export performance this year. Exim Bank not only finances exports but also helps a company market its products.
Brand building
"Brand building is recognised by the bank as an asset," said Ms Smita Pethe, CEO, Verjinia Foods, an Exim Bank borrower.
Verjinia Foods based in Mumbai exports ready-to-cook and ready-to-eat food to South Africa. Export earnings of the enterprise contributes 50 per cent to its total income. "The bank has helped the enterprise in promoting its products and giving it publicity unlike commercial banks," she said.
Exim Bank frequently holds seminars for SMEs on marketing techniques. "Marketing is extremely important for an export oriented company, especially for SMEs investing abroad through joint ventures and partnerships," Mr Rao said.

Upcoming cars from Hyundai India in 2014
Hyundai India has several significant passenger vehicle launches lined up for 2014. Reportedly, the new launches will be placed in the across different segments of the market. It is the second biggest passenger vehicle company in India, next to Maruti Suzuki India Limited, with a market share of 14.4 per cent. Though the company's sales fell by 2.48 per cent in December 2012 as compared to the previous year with 47,833 units, it has not set back plans to launch new vehicles in the ongoing year.
In the hatchback segment, the company is planning to launch its old warhorse Santro Xing in a new avatar with a diesel engine. The Xing has been the backburner for a while now, since the i10 and the Eon have been selling well. It would be fitted with a 1.1 litre Common Rail Direct Injection (CRDi) engine to churn out 75 bhp of power at 4000 rpm with a maximum torque of 150 Nm. Knowing the need for high fuel efficiency in India, industry experts are of a view that the Santro Xing diesel would deliver a mileage of 23 kmpl. Some of the new features in this vehicle would be a softer gear shift lever, front ventilated disc brakes and a bigger wheelbase, among others.
After achieving success with the i20 in India, Hyundai has realised that there is a market for premium hatches as well. Owing to this, the auto maker is also planning to introduce i30, which is a mid size hatchback. The design of this model has been kept fluidic, whereas its wheelbase is anticipated to be higher than the i20. In fact, its cabin space would be equal or greater than some sedans in the C segment. In terms of features, the top end variant of i30 is believed to get multiple airbags, Anti-lock Braking System (ABS), steering controls and an electrically adjustable driver's seat. Coming to under-the-hood figures of the model, the upcoming i30 is expected to get an option of either 1.4 or a 1.6 litre petrol engine. It is expected that the base version of i30 would start at Rs. 6 lakhs, whereas its top diesel variant can be bought for a steep Rs. 9.5 lakhs. However, considering that the i20 Asta sells in good numbers despite being priced close to Rs. 8 lakhs for the diesel variant, the new pricing strategy may just be what the auto maker is looking for.
At the 2012 Delhi Auto Expo, Hyundai showcased one of its best designs till date, the new Hyundai Veloster. It is an oversized sports hatchback, which is anticipated to feature 17-inch alloy wheels, body colour mirrors, wrap around headlights and taillights. Interestingly, the vehicle will have 2 doors, though it is a 4-seater with ample space at rear seats. On the engine front, the Veloster would get a 1.6 cylinder powertrain with Gasoline Direct Injection (GDI) technology, which will facilitate it to deliver high fuel efficiency. Interestingly, this car from Hyundai will enhance its brand image in India and will be not launched with an aim of providing value for money to the Indian audience. Industry experts are of a view that this car could be priced between Rs. 20 lakhs and Rs. 25 lakhs, and will mark its presence on the Indian roads somewhere in October this year.
In the D segment, Hyundai is contemplating the launch of the new Sonata Diesel. One of the reasons for low sales of the Sonata, despite having a fluidic design, has been the lack of a diesel variant. As is being observed, buyers in most of the segments are preferring diesel variants over petrol nowadays. Coming to the powertrain, the new Sonata diesel is anticipated to get a 2.2 litre CRDi, which will churn out a maximum power of 193 bhp. In order to lure a large number of buyers across its stand, the upcoming model can be purchased both with 6-speed manual and 6-speed automatic transmission system options. Expect it to be priced in a bracket of Rs. 20 lakhs and Rs. 25 lakhs.
For the luxury sedan market, Hyundai had showcased i40 as far back as 2011 during the Geneva Motor Show. It is speculated that the company would launch two variants of petrol and diesel each for i40 by the end of 2015. A Blue Drive eco program will also be introduced with this vehicle, along with a new powertrain line up that will help the car maker in enhancing the figures of fuel efficiency and performance. The i40's petrol version is expected to have a 2.0 litre direct injection petrol engine with a power output of around 170 bhp, while its diesel version would be fitted with a 1.7 litre turbo diesel powertrain, delivering 115 bhp to 136 bhp of power. It is also expected to get some state-of-the-art features like Smart Parking Assist System (SPAS), Electronic Stability Program (ESP) and Lane Keeping Assist System (LKAS).
Hyundai also may launch the i45 in India, which is actually known as the Sonata in US. It gets a high waistline along with racy overtones, which makes it an exciting premium sedan. The overall sleek shape of this model results in a low drag coefficient and high fuel efficiency. Delightful features in the i45 include rain sensing wipers, glass roof with power tilt/adjustment and side mirrors with LED repeater lights. Anti-lock Braking System (ABS) along with Electronic Braking Distribution (EBD), Electronic Stability Control (ESC) and Hill-start Assist Control (HAC) are some of the other safety features worth mentioning in this upcoming model. On the power front, the i45 is expected to get a 1998 cc petrol engine with 162 bhp of power. Price of this model should range between Rs. 16 lakhs to Rs. 18 lakhs.
Coming to the Utility Vehicle (UV) segment, which is the volume puller segment in India at the moment, Hyundai looks to tap its potential by launching the new Tucson. Internationally known as the ix35, the new Tucson looks more aggressive than other fluidic designs. It has a hexagonal front grille with 18-inch tyres that give this Sports Utility Vehicle (SUV) an aggressive stance. In this new vehicle, more legroom and headroom will be offered than the previous version. The new Tucson could be fitted with a 2.0 litre CRDi diesel engine, mated to a 6-speed manual gearbox. Power would be to the tune of 134 bhp and this vehicle may get a 4x4 variant as an option in the future.
Another vehicle that has been around in the luxury SUV segment for a while now is the Santa Fe. It will be the third generation of this SUV, which would be launched during 2013. Interestingly, the design concept of this vehicle, known as the 'Storm's Edge', has been adapted from the fluidic philosophy. It is longer and wider than the previous version, but with the same 2700 mm wheelbase. Its chassis layout is same as that of the i40. The engine in this vehicle would be 2.2 litre CRDi, developing 196 bhp. The car would get either 6-speed manual or 6-speed automatic transmission, with the option of four wheel drive. One can expect the new Santa Fe to be priced between Rs. 22 lakhs to Rs. 26 lakhs.
One of Hyundai's most hyped launches for 2013 is the Multi Purpose Vehicle (MPV) christened as the Hexa Space. Various elements of family design have been incorporated, which can be seen in the hexagonal front grille and in the seat designs of this model. Eight hexagonal shaped seats have been fitted to maximise its internal space. Due to the innovative door design, in and out from Hexa Space is quite simple. Multiple seating configurations have been incorporated for serving different purposes- for example second row seats fold flat for limousine-like seating. The overall width of this vehicle is 1820 mm, which makes it simple to move around on narrow roads. 19-inch tyres have been fitted on this vehicle, giving it a purposeful stance. The Hexa space may set a benchmark in terms of passenger comfort and it can be anticipated to hit Indian markets during May 2013 with a price of Rs. 7 lakhs.
Hyundai is also speculated to launch the H-1 Wagon, a luxury Multi Utility Vehicle (MUV). It offers a lot of space and practicality on the inside and also does not appear as boxy as the Nissan Evalia. It would have a 2.5 litre CRDi diesel engine with Variable Geometry Turbo (VGT) technology. This engine would be configured to work with a 6-speed manual gearbox. There is a possibility that the H1-Wagon may be seen towards the end of 2013.
Similar to the sporty image created by the Veloster, Hyundai may want to enhance this image further by launching Hyundai Genesis, a luxury sports car. It is already available as a coupe and sedan for North American markets. It is the first rear wheel drive sports car from the Korean manufacturer. This coupe has a tremendous power-to-weight ratio, with its 3.8 litre DOHC engine generating 299 bhp of power. It also has 2.0 litre engine options with 207 bhp of maximum power. However, India may get one of 3.4, 3.8 and 4.7 litre engines for high fuel efficiency and with a reworked chassis. The coupe is lighter than the sedan, taking 5.7 seconds to reach 100 kmph from rest. It is a two-door sports car that is designed to attract attention and could be priced between Rs. 10 lakhs to Rs. 12 lakhs.
With so many vehicles in the pipeline, it remains to be seen that which of these speculations would actually be seen in the Indian market. Despite a sluggish market, Hyundai has decided to go ahead with new launches and expansion. One can say that the design of Hyundai vehicles would surely stand out against competition from other key players of the market.

The Celtics will take on a divisional rival, the Philadelphia 76ers, at 7:30 p.m.
Last season, Emma sang the National Anthem before a rivalry game against the New York Knicks. That game was nationally televised on ABC.
It has been a wild couple of years for the daughter of school board member Mike Joanis.
Emma has been busy at both sporting and non-sporting events. She has also flexed her pipes at the Red Sox, Bruins and NASCAR.
For the NASCAR event, Emma beat out several other competitors in an American-idol style competition to seize the opportunity.
Her most prominent appearance yet may have been in August, when Joanis was front and center singing for President Barack Obama at Windham High School.
It was an experience that she called "different" from her normal sports gigs, but one that she was very excited about given that she is a big fan of Obama.
The Joanis family hosted another Democrat, Ann McLane Kuster, at their home for a party in October.
There, Kuster referred to Emma as "so poised" during the Obama event, where she met the Joanis family.
Visit here for previous Windham Patch stories on Emma Joanis. We will feature photos and video from the game after the performance.

As I read the column, "Animals' Behavior A Sign of Wild Winter" (The Daily Star, Feb. 28,) some facts immediately jumped into mind from my doctoral dissertation — "A Natural History of the Catskill Mountain High Peaks" — the flock of robins on the author's lawn on Feb. 2 are not a mystery: Many robins winter over in roosts, as many as a quarter of a million birds in one roost can be found in trees or in brush closer to the ground.
On more than one winter high peak hike I stumbled upon such a roost and upset the slumbering birds, which burst out in a scary storm of flapping wings. Later I saw them hunting for berries.
The appearance of black bears is not a mystery, either: Black bears hibernate lightly; they leave splats of bluish berry matter in the snow, especially on days when the temperature warms above 30 degrees, signs I knew to be wary of, as they forewarned of sleepy, hungry bears staggering around the mountain trails.
I don't know what the statistics say about the uniqueness of this winter in Oneonta, but I remember a 1988 65-degree January when we put a new roof on our house. I hiked to the summit of Whiteface on Thanksgiving 1999, when a 70-degree wind blew. In 2006, in December it was warm enough to go swimming and ice skating on the same day.

Sir Paul McCartney and Ringo Starr have appeared on stage for the first public viewing of Beatles Rock Band.
Watch the BBC News video of the event (UK visitors only):
Yoko Ono and George Harrison's widow Olivia also attended the unveiling of the Harmonix title, which took place on 1 June 2009 at the E3 Expo in Los Angeles.
The game is good, the graphics are very good, and we look great.
The game, which goes on sale on 9 September 2009, is to feature 45 songs, along with a bonus track – All You Need Is Love – which can be bought online via Xbox Live.
Microsoft says all proceeds from the sale of the bonus song will go to Doctors Without Borders, the US branch of the charity Doctors Without Borders/Médecins Sans Frontières (MSF).
Additionally, the entire Abbey Road album will be available for purchase and download, along with other tracks from The Beatles' canon.
We love the game, it's fantastic.
Ten songs were announced during E3: I Saw Her Standing There, I Want To Hold Your Hand, I Feel Fine, Taxman, Day Tripper, Back In The USSR, I Am The Walrus, Octopus's Garden, Here Comes The Sun and Get Back.
The Beatles Rock Band includes a number of locations where The Beatles played, including the Cavern Club in Liverpool, The Ed Sullivan Show set, New York's Shea Stadium and the Budokan in Japan.
Content will also include previously unreleased recordings of The Beatles talking between takes during studio sessions recorded at Abbey Road.
Watch the official trailer:
The game will be sold alongside optional controllers based on the instruments played by The Beatles during the 1960s, including John Lennon's Rickenbacker 325 and Paul McCartney's Hofner violin bass.

New Feature: 2012 Draft Pool TrackerBy
Just a heads up, I created a new 2012 Draft Pool Tracker page that we'll use to keep tabs of the Yankees' draft spending in the coming weeks. It's a work in progress, but all the draft spending rules and penalties are there, ditto the team's draft picks in the top ten rounds. I'll add post-tenth round picks as they impact the draft pool. The page is available via the Resources tab (under the street sign in the banner) at all times.
4 Comments»
Any tax money paid or draft picks surrendered is redistributed to clubs that did not go over their tax pool.
How do they plan to equitably redistribute picks? Not like you can evenly distribute 1 or 2 picks between 28 or 29 teams…

Great Lakes Echo (http://greatlakesecho.org/page/91/)
The amount of harmful algae forecast for Lake Erie is predicted to be less than last year and considerably less than the record outbreak of 2011.
But it's likely to be significant, coating parts of the western basin in toxic green slime.
And even moderate blooms can threaten drinking water.

It's natural to protect our greatest resource. We do it with our homes. Why not our water?

Myrtle Beach police charged a 34-year-old man early Tuesday in connection with snatching a girl's purse while she was in the parking lot of a Wal-Mart store.
Michael Lawrence Delvecchio, 34, of Murrells Inlet was charged with purse snatching and first-degree assault and battery early Tuesday and is being held at the Myrtle Beach Jail pending a bond hearing. Delvecchio was taken into custody at the Myrtle Beach Police Department at 12 a.m. Tuesday.
The charges stemmed from about 10 a.m. Saturday when Myrtle Beach officers were called to Wal-Mart at 541 Seaboard St., for a purse snatching in the parking lot, police said. The victim told police she heard a man's voice behind her and a vehicle horn.
The victim said a man in a car flagged her down and asked her if she knew where another Wal-Mart was located, according to the report. The victim, who was listed as a juvenile but her age was not in the report, said she was not from the area. She told the man that her husband might know the location of another store.
The victim said the man driving the car then grabbed her purse and drove away, according to the report. The victim said she fell to the ground and cut her the palm of her hands and knees.
The victim said she had various credit cards, a cell phone, $1,400 cash, passports and a set of keys inside her purse, according to the report. A witness told police he saw the vehicle speed off and decided to follow it.
The witness followed the vehicle until the driver parked behind a Kangaroo convenience store at 1695 U.S. 501 and the driver got out and walked toward the station, according to the report. The witness went back to Wal-Mart and police went to the area where the suspect and car was last seen.
Officers found the victim's purse in the trash can of the men's bathroom inside the store and returned it to the victim, according to the report. The victim's cash and keys were missing.
The witness gave police a description of the man and the vehicle's license plate number.

Whether the new Joliet Slammers ownership team is more successful than the old remains to be seen.
What I learned during Tuesday's media day shindig in the Hall of Fame Room at Silver Cross Field is CEO Josh Schaub is going to step up to the plate ready to swing at almost any pitch.
Schaub promised to hire a new manager that he hopes one day will become the face of the Slammers' baseball team, if not the entire organization. An announcement on the hire could come before Christmas. He also promised to make Silver Cross Field an entertainment destination site and that means you can expect to see a variety of different shows on the field, the list ranging from concerts to weddings.
Yes, very soon you will be able to tie the knot at home plate and book a reception space, too.
You might also see Schaub's underlings install an ice hockey rink at Silver Cross Field during the winter months. He is intrigued about the idea of open skating for area residents over the holidays and stoked over the possibility of a Slammers hockey weekend that might include a feature event involving a team like, say, the Chicago Wolves, and tournament play for area youth hockey teams.
Schaub said he will listen to discussions involving the installation of an artificial playing surface at Silver Cross Field. This could open up the field for use as much as 12-18 hours a day on weekends—but isn't likely to happen unless the Slammers also could secure a commitment from a football/soccer team or organization to play at Silver Cross.
But, first things first. Before considering football, there is the issue of taking a few measurements and figuring out whether a football field would fit comfortably in Silver Cross Field. You don't want to see two offenses marching in one direction and fans on the other end left out in the cold—a la the Northwestern fiasco at Wrigley Field—do you?
Schaub talked about what could make the Slammers venture a successful one for his team. Much of the talk during the luncheon was of the off-the-cuff variety, Schaub and his folks asking members of the media for ideas and stirring a friendly bit of banter. The Slammers will tap into the resources available to them through their membership in the Frontier League and their membership in baseball's independent league ranks.
There are best-practice promotional events that you will see play out almost every night, some of the tried-and-true variety, others of the let's throw this at the wall and see if it sticks mode. Can you say, "Costanza Night?" This is a popular minor league baseball promotion for fans of "Seinfeld." Fans dress up like George Costanza, the character who in one episode of the hit television comedy made radical life changes and ended up with a girlfriend, his own place and a job with the Yankees.
Schaub can't match that, though he has worked as a scout for the Milwaukee Brewers. He is a lawyer with a background in baseball who acquits himself well during a meet-and-greet. He previously served as the director of player personnel and procurement for the Edmonton CrackerCats of the Northern League.
"As I stated in the opening, I want to make this an entertainment destination—our group does as well," Schaub said. "We want to get extra events in the stadium beyond baseball. As Tom (Thanas) said, you know what would be a great success is hoisting the (Frontier League) trophy above our heads as well.
"So, it's not just attendance. It's not just our bottom line. It's about creating an atmosphere and an entertainment package for our fans. I think if we accomplish that and our fans are happy at the end of the season with the product we produce—which is not just the game—it's the atmosphere in the stadium. That would be a success for us."
Schaub referred to Tom Thanas, Joliet's city manager, during his remarks. Thannas was on hand to officially welcome the Slammers' new ownership team. He spoke briefly about his excitement over Joliet's downtown revitalization plan, which includes a new state-of-the-art railroad hub and a new parking deck expected to open in 2014. He touched on how the Slammers can help everyone hit the ball out of the park.
One asset they will tap into early and often is Chris Franklin, a 31-year-old native of Joliet who returns to his hometown as the Slammers' general manager. Franklin served previously as GM of the Frontier League's River City Rascals and worked as a ticket sales representative at Silver Cross Field in 2006. One of his mentors was Steve Malliet, the former baseball GM in Joliet.
Franklin will be expected to use his local connections to help the Slammers reach out for community support. Already, he has started running the bases in a fashion reminiscent of his three-sport playing days at Morris High School. He motored through a recent meeting of the Old Timers Baseball Association.
"It's pretty unbelievable," Franklin said of landing a baseball job in his back yard. "Of course, I loved to play the game. I wasn't good enough to continue playing, so I found another passion, which is working in the front office.
"To come back home—the phone calls and emails from old friends—it's a neat experience. It's hard to put into words, really."
Let me help—with the words.
My gut tells me Franklin and the Slammers' new ownership group have a chance to make a go of this as long as they remember one thing, really. The price of a hot dog and a beer will determine whether fans flock to the ballpark to enjoy a summer night out. The quality of the baseball is important to the most die-hard fans, but not many others. Like a new event in the stadium, that's an extra.

Well, computers don't actually stink, though sometimes mine lets off an odd smell. But they are definitely not doing for us what we thought they were going to do. We thought they were going to make us smarter, make our lives easier. Instead, they are ruining our brains. I can prove this, quantifiably, but I would have to Google it in order to prove it. That should be proof enough. Double proof is that Microsoft Word corrected the previous two sentences. "Fragment. (Consider revising)," it said. The nuns in Catholic school had to hit me in the head in order to recognize a fragmented sentence. Now the computer just does it for me. And it doesn't have to hit me.
Though it does absorb every iota of attention I have. It makes me start typing as soon as I wake up, and then all day until just before I go to bed. There was a time where you could go to work, and then come home. And when you were home, work stopped happening. But sometime in the recent past, I can't tell which season of "Friends" it was, or which Clinton or which Bush was in power, but it all changed. Now people are "e-mailing" me all day and all night. And it's not like I am so super important that this should be happening. Everyone is experiencing this (at least, everyone with a computer). But my consolation is that in-between e-mails, while I have access to every piece of knowledge in human history, I play "Words with Friends."
Due to this constant barrage of information, whether it is work, the subsequent data required to do the work, the e-mails reacting to the work in progress, and distraction of Facebook, news outlets, games, blogs, and did I say Facebook yet? Anyway, I have no idea where my wallet is. Or my iPhone. You know, the device with the e-mails and the "Words with Friends." I can't find them anywhere because the computer ruined my brain.
Banking was supposed to be easier, too. Instead, banking has become an "Alice in Wonderland" type rabbit hole of inability, from Teller to Chairman, where no one knows how to cancel a check, transfer a payment, or even "know what risk we were actually exposing ourselves to." Now we have "financial instruments," which sounds like the tools used by Terminator-like "Sky Net" evil robots intent on destroying us all. I never figured the Banks would be how the machines would infiltrate and eliminate us. I thought it was going to be through the military, or phones, or television, or the power grid. But, using money?
Speaking of money, people are spending an awful lot of time trying to figure out how to make money using these things. I know I am. Computers are actually wiping out or at least severely damaging many businesses. Patch is the digital answer to a small town newspaper, a business that even the New York Times is trying to figure out how to stay in without hemorrhaging money. Computers are eviscerating the music business, the movie business, TV networks, and even publishing. Forget publishing. They are going to be the first serious casualty of these devices. Physical books will become odd collector's items. Physical books will, very soon, not be necessary at all. Publishers will no longer be necessary. Anyone with one of these brain-destroying devices who can structure a non-fragmented sentence can then sell his/her book on Amazon. While industries (The Post Office is in danger!) are slowly getting wiped out because no one needs to BUY anything anymore, people will still need to work around the clock because of computers. (See paragraph 2)
In the greatest irony, wrapped inside of an enigma, bound into a Chinese finger trap, is the news that Facebook's IPO is a bust. The stock value is plummeting only days after it was offered to the public. It's because no actual "product" is made. Nothing is sold or bought. How is that possible? Doesn't every advertiser purchase ads on it? Don't they have more viewers than all the networks combined? If a device designed to put all other forms of communication out of business cannot itself build a successful business, isn't that the economic equivalent of a black hole that will simply suck every one of us into its vortex?
Has anyone seen my wallet? I know I left it around here somewhere.
By the way, go check out my blog at cartoonlagoonshow.blogspot.com, because eventually I am going to convince the computers to help me and my partner to make, sell, and distribute a puppet show.

The Meridian Star
City fortunate in police chief nominee
Dear Editor,
I'm so happy to learn that James Reed has been nominated to be our police chief.
Please take a second to consider his resume:
• After graduating Meridian High School, he went on to the University of Mississippi for a Bachelors of Science degree in Public Administration and Law Enforcement.
• "Career Naval law enforcement official with 35 years of experience in supervision, investigations, counter terrorism, theft and loss prevention, and protective services."
This is one of our own who wants to come home and work for his hometown and its people. It is really exciting and a beautiful gift to us. I urge the city council to accept him with flying colors.
I know James and his wonderful family. We are so fortunate that he would come home to Meridian.
Sincerely submitted,
Gil Carmichael
Great choice for police chief
Dear sir or madam,
I am writing this letter to congratulate the honorable Mayor Cheri Barry for a recent recommendation.
Mayor Barry made the recommendation to the Meridian City Council the name of James M. Reed for chief of police for the city of Meridian. I strongly feel she has made a great choice as he is well qualified and his credentials speak for themselves.
Mr. Reed is also a Meridianite who I believe loves Meridian and is very concerned for the residents of the city. Meridian is where he was reared.
I have always considered myself a close and personal friend of the Reed family for decades.
Again, congratulations to Mayor Barry for an outstanding recommendation.
Dr. Charles Johnson, Sr.
Southern Christian Leadership
Conference, President
Culture of death
In regards to the killings in Aurora, Colo., what a solid case for all those who think the death penalty should be handed down to the young man who committed such an evil act of violence.
People say, "He should be executed in the town square," and, "No mercy was given to his victims, so he should not receive any mercy."
I have heard many comments such as these on numerous talk shows and from a variety of individuals with whom I have come in contact.
This is also a solid case to show that all the people who have been put to death in the past as a so-called deterrent to crime still has not prevented this type of random violence.
It is time to come to the realization that meeting violence with violence does nothing but fuel a culture of death.
We can see this throughout history and can most recently realize this in all the violence perpetuated around the world since the 9/11tragedy.
We have deterred very little, but have contributed to this culture of death, violence and vengeance that has so become part of our world today.
We cannot prevent all acts of random violence, but I for one can voice my opinion concerning capital punishment.
This is one act of violence that we, as a Christian community that believes all life is sacred, can prevent.
Violence begets violence! Let's not fuel this culture of death and violence by putting him to death.
Jack Huntley,
A safe community is everyone's responsibility
As was evidenced by a a daylight robbery at Wal-Mart 19, the frequency and boldness of the the criminal elements in our society knows no bounds.
It behooves the rest of us to be ever vigilant and diligent in being aware of our surroundings, not only for ourselves but for our neighbors also. If something doesn't look right, it probably isn't. Make notes of car tags and time of day if witnessing strange or out of the ordinary events.
Check on your elderly neighbors from time to time, as the elderly seem to be especially vulnerable to thefts and vandalism. Don't assume that your police or sheriff's department won't do anything. Call them anyway. Attend your community watch groups.
Oh, and pray, pray hard for each other, government leaders, and law enforcement. If we want a better, safer community it's up to us.
Martha May,

You are an expert at what you do. And what you do is exciting and fulfilling. If these two things are not true, you wouldn't be doing what you're doing! But to be successful, you need to let other people know about your expertise and your enthusiasm and blow your own horn. There's nothing wrong with self promotion.
Be a Part of Word of Mouth
Positive word of mouth is wonderful advertising. And you can contribute to the development of word of mouth by techniques such as developing and using a promotion kit.
But word of mouth takes time to build. Why wait for the results of other people talking about your business to build your customer base, when you have so many positive things to say about your business?
Learn How to Brag About Yourself
Too often we defeat our self promotion efforts by assuming that other people won't be interested in what we do, or by childhood notions that it's not polite to brag about ourselves and our accomplishments.
But we need to brag about ourselves. We need to tell others what we do well and what we're proud of; that's what self promotion is. Doing this not only makes other people aware of our accomplishments and expertise, but shapes their perceptions of us.
Reach Out Consciously to Increase Your Business Success
People like successful people. It's natural for people to admire success or think that success will rub off on them. And so successful people draw more customers or clients, and success breeds success. But to get this process happening, you have to make a conscious effort to let individuals know about your accomplishments. You have to blow your own horn.
What is it that you're proud of? Have you won an award? Gained a new skill or accreditation? Done some valuable work for the community? Think back over the past two years and make a list of the accomplishments you're proud of. These are what you're going to let other people know about.
Self Promotion Activities
Practice self promotion by speaking and writing about your accomplishments. Add a line about something you're proud of to your email signature and to your stationery. If your accomplishment is an event or an award, write and send out a press release. If you have a website or a blog, announce it there. Tweet, Facebook, Google+ about it – whatever social media you use, use it to get the word out about what you've done.
Spread the word about your accomplishment or talent by talking about it. Practice bringing it up in conversation. Volunteer to make a presentation to your networking, business, or Toastmaster's group. Increase your perceived expertise by appearing on local television or radio programs.
Don't Denigrate Yourself
Many people are their own worst enemy. They belittle their accomplishments when others notice and praise them. When someone praises you, do you say "Thank You", or do you say, "Oh, it's nothing. Anyone could have done that?" Don't denigrate yourself by being self-depreciating. Practice accepting praise sincerely without adding excuses or qualifications.

Homework Assignment: Self Promotion
The first step towards self promotion is to make a list of the accomplishments you're proud of. These achievements may include particular goals you've realized, a particular talent you've developed, a new skill you've acquired, or something that you've created. They may or may not be directly related to your business.
Look over the list and choose one or two of these that you're going to consciously promote over the next month. Then choose several of the self promotion activities above and start blowing your own horn about these accomplishments this week.
For best results, put together a brief plan to schedule your self promotion activities about your chosen accomplishments over the next month to ensure that you get the word out over several channels without doing it so constantly you turn off your audience.Continue on to Business Success Lesson 10

MERCED — Waving American flags behind banners reading Proud to be American, students from Golden Valley High School danced down Main Street in Merced on Wednesday to music from Kool & the Gang.
It was an American celebration of some of the good times since the tragedy of Sept. 11, 2001.
It makes me proud to see all this, 13-year-old Leslie Gutierrez said.
But as the Chrome Cowboy Patriots thundered down Main Street on motorcycles waving their own flags, those old enough to remember 9/11 were somber and reflected on the lives lost when terrorists crashed airplanes into buildings in New York, Washington, D.C., and a field in Pennsylvania.
I cant think about this stuff without getting emotional, said retired firefighter George Rasmussen. This is like a family for us.
Rasmussen fought back tears while he and his wife, Carol, discussed their memories from that Tuesday morning 12 years ago.
Thinking about it, being here, it just makes you cry, Carol Rasmussen said. I still cant believe this happened.
Wednesdays parade and ceremony at Courthouse Park were just a few of the memorials around Merced County. Students from UC Merced pitched in to clean up around Lake Yosemite in a day of service to commemorate 9/11.
Students at Merced High School decorated their cars and pickups with American flags.
Leslie De Los Reyes remembers being angry.
I remember the people, all those people, falling out of the buildings, she said.
De Los Reyes brought her 8-year-old daughter, Andrea, to the parade. She said she wants her daughter to understand that 9/11 was devastating and terrifying.
But also that out of something ugly, good things do come, like this (parade), she said. I hope this helps her understand the love and respect and honor we have for each other as a community, as a nation.
The Chrome Cowboy Patriots, a Merced motorcycle group dedicated to military veterans issues, sponsored Wednesdays parade and ceremony at Courthouse Park.
Patriots member Dennis Kenshalo said he was proud to be part of a community that invested so much effort in commemorating the events of Sept. 11, 2001.
It seems like a lot of the small communities dont do anything for it at all. Its like theyre forgetting about it already, he said. Its important to recognize what happened because its not something that should ever be forgotten.

New Buster Rhinos location in downtown Oshawa
Yesterday, my wife and I popped by the new BR location on King St E and Simcoe in downtown Oshawa. They opened on Monday, so I expected a work in progress.
Its a VERY nice location. Its sit-down table service and, apparently, they'll be licensed soon (whiskey or beer with bbq? yes please!). The food is still great and the service was surprising polished for day 2.
Guessing word of mouth had spread, since they were pretty full and doing a lot of take-out during lunchtime.
The food was great - we had wings and ribs - and the atmosphere was definitely a step up from the Wentworth location.
Do they smoke on site at this location or bring stuff over from the Whitby location?
re: ylsf
i think the turnaround time from getting the keys to opening the resto was less than a month. I talked to Darryl (the owner) and they're still doing some renos to the back room. no smoking on site as of now, but once the sailing's smoother, i'd think they'll plan on putting a smoker on premises.
the nice thing about Buster Rhinos is that you can eat his brisket at the mother location (Wentworth) or as far away as Sweet Escape in the Distillery and it still retains the smoke and flavour.. of course, there's nothing more delicious than eating meat right off the smoker, but most restaurants smoke overnight, so timing is normally everything.
Do you know if they are open on Sat?

Several of the of the high school project have been pushed back, but the tentative hearing date remains the same unless a settlement is reached beforehand.
Kevin MacDonald, the spokesman for one of the appeals, said he recently had a lengthy conversation with Wilmington Town Counsel Dan Deutsch as a part of the required good faith settlement talks.
Board of Selectmen chairman Mike Newhouse, however, said that while he is hopeful those talks are successful, the town continues to prepare for the event that the process continues right up until the .
"Like everyone, at each milestone I am hopeful an opportunity presents itself to be done with this process," said Newhouse. "But I continue to focus on the hearing date as the date we need to prepare for and continue to do our work. At every milestone date you're hopeful that there's an opportunity to short circuit this process and continue with this project."
Originally, Tuesday was the deadline for the appellants to submit a more definite statement in order to show cause. However, due to DEP lawyers and the attorney for abutter Gerry O'Reilly being out of town recently, all sides agreed to move that date and others back.
When asked whether he believes the appeal will go all the way to the scheduled hearing date rather than being settled prior to it, MacDonald said it's still too early to tell.
"I can't say," said MacDonald. "I am hoping we can reach a settlement. I'll be talking to Mr. O'Reilly and his attorney this week, so I'll get some better direction and try to pull everything together and see what people feel."
There remains the possibility that the town could begin construction on areas that are outside of the wetlands in question. It is unclear at this point if that is an option the town is exploring.
While the appeals process has been a , MacDonald said his efforts have been well-received around town.
"A lot of people are telling me they appreciate me telling them about the environment and protecting the water supplies," said MacDonald. "You run into people on both sides. Generally the people with children in school who might not know all the circumstances are pro-high school project. The people who take an interest and want to know details are respectful for me protecting the environment."
Newhouse said that nothing in the appeals process has changed the town's stance on its proposed high school.
"Given the latest deadline, let's see what happens next. I'm not making any predictions or comments, but let's see when there's news and then we'll talk about it," said Newhouse. "We're just doing our thing, preparing to build this project. From my standpoint, it's not a question of if, but when."

I remember, when I was a kid, sitting at my grandmother's breakfast table and looking at the front page of the Journal and the Gemini pictures of the moon. I didn't just look; I stared. Years before the first astronauts walked on the surface, these were the closest pictures ever taken, and we got to see them in the paper about the same time the astronomers were seeing them. The pictures fascinated me, the craters and the crosshatch marks. I cut them out and put them in a scrapbook and studied them, fancying that I could find some secret wisdom in those round craters and right-angled markings.
But then Apollo 11 landed on there, and a couple of men walked around on the moon. I made another scrapbook, and studied it, too. Then Apollo 12, then 14, 15, and so on. I began to lose interest. After centuries of speculating about it being made of cheese or gold or quicksand, it turned out that the moon's just a desert. Like the Sahara or the Mojave, or like the Copper Basin, except without as many bugs. Then we sent another spacecraft to Mars, and damned if there's not another desert there, too, with lots of sand and rocks.
Scientists talked about it excitedly, and I listened. When a comet collided with Jupiter, I watched it on TV. I follow every solar eclipse and believe it every single time they call it a once-in-a-lifetime event. I am at least idly curious about whether there were ever oceans or rivers or microscopic life on Mars or any other planet.
But after a while I came to understand that space, beyond the Earth, is full of rocks and globs of liquid or gas. Some of them are on fire and some aren't.
That's fine, as far as it goes, but I have to admit I'm prejudiced in favor of things that breathe and scratch and say things that surprise you, no matter how small and insignificant they might be. That's my own bigotry, and I recognize it as a failing.
I know I should take more of an interest in space, and all the roundish rocks they find out that way. If scientists can identify the rocks that are likely to hit the earth, and somehow dissuade them from doing so, that would be a fine thing, and they deserve whatever earthly reward we can offer them. I'm grateful there are people interested enough in space to contend with that proposition.
I've never been to the Hayden Planetarium, but the main impression people keep relating about it is that they leave convinced of Earth's insignificance. Maybe, self-conscious about this deficiency of life out there, the planetarium folks use the sheer size of it to impress us, humble us, overwhelm us with how tiny earth is compared to nearly everything else.
When they tell me my home planet is insignificant in size, a tiny part of an unimpressive solar system that is, in turn, a tiny part of one of an uncountable number of galaxies, I believe them. But then I'm not sure what to do with this information.
By planetarium standards, it's not life, but size that matters, and by that standard, the Earth is an inconsiderable speck. By planetarium standards, all human efforts, and all downtown redevelopment projects, are pitiful exercises in vanity.
Remember that planetarium scene in Rebel Without a Cause? These teenagers go see a space show and they make fun of it until they witness a dramatized supernova blowing everything up. Stunned and hushed to realize their miniscule place in the universe, they go outside and drive their cars off a cliff. I'm not saying that would happen here.
I'm a limited intellect. At the end of the day, I'm interested in space not so much for what I can learn about all the roundish chunks that are on fire and the ones that aren't, but for what space might do for one lonesome block of State Street.
It's been over a year since Knox County leveled this interesting block of solid old prewar buildings, some of them passably historic, several of them better built than most of what we build today. Barely a block away is the brewpub. Less than two blocks away is Market Square. A couple blocks north is the Old City. There are more than a dozen bars and restaurants within easy walking distance. It's prime real estate, but it's been empty for a couple of years. Maybe all this space is what got people thinking about a planetarium.
But I think a trip to a planetarium can be such a sobering ordeal that local merchants might capitalize on it. It seems as if a debased crowd, suddenly convinced of its astral insignificance, emerging into the real sunlight from a planetarium, might be just the sort of crowd that needs a drink.
They might also experience a sudden craving for bacon cheeseburgers or pork ribs. They've just learned that their diets are irrelevant to the cosmos. If humans are insignificant, so are our vices.
If the cosmos has a commercial subtext, that's it, right there: eat, drink, be merry, and max out your credit card if you have to, for we're all insignificant either way. The pubs will make a killing.
I'm not sure what the planetarium's specific connection to Knoxville is, but I think, given the opportunity, we should force one. We could make a connection to UT's aerospace program and the astronauts who graduated from there. Or Oak Ridge's connections to the space program. Or that mysterious meteor that came screaming right down Gay Street in 1860.
As for a precedent, there's that professor who appeared downtown in the 1880s with a big telescope and told people he could see the Man in the Moon walking around up there. He sold tickets to see him at a quarter apiece. I hear he did pretty well.

Found December 17, 2012 on Fox Sports North:
PLAYERS: Blair Walsh, Greg Zuerlein, Leslie Frazier, Ryan Longwell
TEAMS: Minnesota Vikings, St. Louis Rams
TEAMS: Minnesota Vikings, St. Louis Rams
EDEN PRAIRIE, Minn. With each kick Sunday, Blair Walsh seemed to be trying to drive the ball harder, higher and further than he had on the previous kick in the Minnesota Vikings' 36-22 win at St. Louis. The first was a 50-yard field goal that was nearly the height of the upright as it crossed for Walsh's sixth field goal this season of 50 yards or more. He added four more Sunday, including 53- and 51-yarders in Minnesota's win, and added six touchbacks. If Walsh wasn't trying to prove a point, it sure looked that way. In the same building as Rams rookie Greg Zuerlein on Sunday, Walsh was the rookie kicker that looked more like a phenom than Zuerlein, who has garnered plenty of attention league-wide with his leg strength since hitting three 50-plus yard field goals in the preseason and then adding a rookie record 60-yarder in the fourth week of the regular season. Zuerlein has the nicknames to go with his growing legend such as "Greg the Leg" and "Legatron." But it was Walsh arguably been the best of an impressive crop of rookie kickers who showed the big-time leg, and consistency, on Sunday. "All those kicks yesterday were big kicks, particularly early on and with distance," coach Leslie Frazier said. "We felt comfortable putting him out there. We're not afraid that we're going to be in a situation where we're putting ourselves on a shorter field. We felt very confident that once he went out there, there was a very good chance he was going to make the kick, and he did. Five for five, terrific day." Walsh is sixth in the league in scoring with 117 points. He's 30 for 30 on extra-point tries and is 29 of 32 on field-goal attempts, going 8 for 8 from 50 yards and beyond with a long of 55 yards. With his three 50-yarders Sunday, he tied an NFL record for most field goals from 50-or-more yards in a single season. Baltimore's Justin Tucker, an undrafted rookie, has 112 points and has gone 25 of 27 on field-goal attempts this season, with a long of 56 yards. Zuerlein, for all the accolades, is just 21 of 28 this season on field goals and is 27th in the league in scoring with 84 points. His lone field-goal try Sunday, from 57 yards, was wide right and short. Walsh, who was drafted four spots behind Zuerlein in April and the third kicker off the board, has established Vikings' records for rookie scoring, 50-plus field goals in a season and most touchbacks in a season. Walsh's 47 touchbacks this year, including six on Sunday, is fourth in the NFL. Tucker is right behind with 45. Zuerlein is 15th with 31. And it all started with questions about Walsh after the draft, a surprise selection in the sixth round when Minnesota already had veteran Ryan Longwell. But Longwell was cut shortly after the draft, and the Vikings were all-in on Walsh and knew he had the mental approach to succeed long-term and improve on an inconsistent college career. "We, with Mike Priefer, did a really good job of altering some things when we drafted him to help him to approve," Frazier said. "His attitude all along has been one where, 'I want to be coached.' Mike and Chris White, our assistant special teams coach, they've done a terrific job in helping him to make some adjustments in some of the things he was doing technique wise. We're seeing the results of it this season. "But his approach mentally has been terrific and it's shown on the field. He's got ice water in his veins when it comes to making clutch kicks and doing the routine things as well. So the fact that he's very coachable has been a plus for us." Follow Brian Hall on Twitter.
