The Edmond Sun
Government failure to reach a political consensus is a moral hazard for the U.S. economy, said Robert Dauffenbach, director of the Center for Economic & Management Research at the University of Oklahoma.
Dauffenbach spoke about the state and national economy Wednesday at Rotary Club of Edmond. Moral hazards caused the recent recession, he said. Be watchful of the Washington, D.C., crowd of politicians, Dauffenbach said.
Across-the-board cuts in federal spending went into effect Friday after congressional leadership along with President Barack Obama failed to reach an agreement to prevent sequestration.
"Write your congressmen. Write your senators," Dauffenbach said. "… I fear that what they're out to do is to deflate the values of the debt by inflating the inflationary means. And that's a tax just as if somebody came out and presented you an inflation tax."
There is evidence the economy is recovering, he said. Industrial production is at 70 percent of its peak levels. Retail sales have passed their previous peaks, Dauffenbach said. Unemployment in the U.S. is down from 10.1 percent to 7.8 percent, he said.
Underemployment is a problem lingering for people wanting to work full-time but for economic reasons are offered part time work, Dauffenbach said.
Entitlements make up 58 percent of federal budget expenditures, Dauffenbach said.
"Folks I don't know how it's going to end but it cannot continue." He quoted the late economist Herbert Stein who said, "'If something cannot go on, it will stop.'"
Federal Reserve Chairman Ben Bernanke continues overseeing the Federal Reserve printing more money. The federal balance sheets are at $911 billion. It has printed nearly $3 trillion, Dauffenbach said.
"Bernanke stands there with a straight face and says, 'Well, our money supply measures aren't going up that rapidly,'" Dauffenbach said. "… How about 10-11-15 percent a year. That sounds like pretty high growth of money supply to me."
Locally, Dauffenbach pointed out that Oklahoma has the seventh lowest unemployment rate among the states. State Treasurer Ken Miller reported this week that Oklahoma's economy is outperforming other states in the region as unemployment has dropped by 2 percentage points since the recovery started. The state labor force has expanded by almost 40,000 jobs, Miller said.
Oklahoma ranks the ninth highest in personal income growth, Dauffenbach said. The Oklahoma City metropolitan area of employment grew 4 percent in December from the previous year, he said.
The state's February survey shows gross collections for the state is down $19.53 million or 2.4 percent.
"Gross income tax collections, a combination of personal and corporate income taxes, generated $235 million, an increase of $3.2 million or 1.4 percent from the previous February," Miller said. Income tax produces nearly 37 percent of the state's revenue, Dauffenbach said.
Rotary member, Carol Hartzog, asked how housing construction is impacting the economy. Dauffenbach said he is impressed with how construction is currently holding up in the economy. Low interest rates are promoting construction activity, he said. However, it is more difficult to get a home loan than it was before the recession, he said.
January pending construction contracts were up nearly 54 percent in Edmond, according to the last Preston Report. Homes sales for January were up 17.59 percent from the same time last year.
"Active homes on the market is at it's lowest level since 2006 with under 1,200 homes on the market in the area. A lot better than pushing that 2000 mark," the report stated.

If you're in San Luis looking for a burglar alarm and ADT alarm monitoring, you should know a thing or two about property crimes and burglary.

Download The Australian guideline for prevention, diagnosis and management of acute rheumatic fever and rheumatic heart disease (2nd edition)
Applying the latest available evidence, RHDAustralia, an initiative of the Menzies School of Health Research, led a comprehensive review of the 2006 guidelines originally produced by the Heart Foundation and the Cardiac Society of Australia and New Zealand.
The revised guideline, funded by the Australian Government Department of Health and Ageing expands on the first edition to provide clinicians with additional information on preventative action, diagnosis and management of acute rheumatic fever (ARF) and rheumatic heart disease (RHD).
The new guidelines have clarified common questions and broadened the diagnosis criteria for probable ARF in high risk groups in order to assist clinicians when there are uncertain cases of ARF. A summary of the changes within the revised guideline can be found on pages 7-9.
RHDAustralia envisages that reduced improved clinical care will result from improved and updated clinical care procedures for ARF and RHD patients.
Previous copies of the guideline (2006 edition) should be deleted.
Applications for Android, iPhone and iPad are now available.
These online editions of the guideline and quick reference guides are interactive pdf documents that feature easy-to-use navigation and search tools.

There is no mystery to what Milan Lucic is, or does, what it takes him to be successful. When he's on, he is the self-made hurricane, a 6-foot-4-inch, 220-pound swirl of British Columbian power and might capable of pounding opponents through the wall and forcing pucks to the net.
The mystery, for most of the abbreviated 2013 season, has been what happened to that Milan Lucic? Thursday night, for reasons perhaps he doesn't fully comprehend, that Lucic was back on the job at the Garden. He moved his feet. He applied himself to the forecheck. Lo and behold, he even engaged in a fight, his first in seven weeks, and not surprisingly, all of it factored into the sumptuous porridge of a 2-0 win over the Tampa Bay Lightning.

Philadelphia Eagles
Jeremy Maclin - #18 - WR
|6' 0"/ 198 lbs.
|Kirkwood, MO
|Years played
|2009, 1st round, 19th pick by Eagles
Eagles go three straight on 'D'
The Eagles came into Friday's portion of the draft with options, and they left it with more depth on what looks like a monster front seven.
Eagles' Patterson still in the picture
Eagles DT Mike Patterson still should be a big contributor despite the team drafting DT Fletcher Cox in Round One.
Eagles rightfully pounce on DT Cox
The Eagles had problems maintaining leads and stopping the run, and Fletcher Cox helps solve both of these issues.
Falcons acquire CB Samuel for seventh-round pick
Philadelphia has traded veteran CB Asante Samuel to the Falcons for a seventh-round pick. Samuel has agreed to a restructured contract.
Dawkins announces retirement
Brian Dawkins, one of the most feared defensive players in football over the past 16 seasons, announced on Monday he has retired.
Report: Several teams contact Browns about No. 4 pick
Several teams have contacted the Browns about their fourth overall pick in the draft, The (Cleveland) Plain Dealer reported Friday night.
Eagles re-sign DT Landri
The Eagles have agreed to terms with DT Derek Landri on a one-year deal. Financial terms were not announced.
Eagles' Asomugha, Avant see greener pastures ahead
Eagles teammates Nnamdi Asomugha and Jason Avant took time out from a service project to talk about their excitement for next season.
Philadelphia Eagles
Here are the Philadelphia Eagles top three needs going into the draft, subject to any free-agent signings it may make before then.
Eagles sign former Bills OLT Bell
The Eagles found a potential replacement for OLT Jason Peters, signing Demetress Bell to a five-year deal.
NFC East draft needs
With the Redskins set to draft QB Robert Griffin III, Eric Edholm identifies the top three draft needs for all four teams in the NFC East.
Connecting the draft dots
PFW executive editor Dan Arkush offers a creative, draft-related perspective on five of the biggest NFL moves so far this offseason.
Samuel willing to re-do deal to help trade
Eagles CB Asante Samuel reportedly has taken a key step to help him leave Philadelphia's crowded CB corps.
Eagles OLT Peters ruptures Achilles tendon
The Eagles announced Friday that OLT Jason Peters ruptured the Achilles tendon in his right leg.
Eagles re-sign OT Dunlap
The Eagles announced Friday that they have agreed to terms with OT King Dunlap on a one-year contract.
Maclin ended up with eight catches for 116 yards and a touchdown in the Eagles' loss to Washington on Sunday.||||||| Maclin has come on strong lately, with 21 catches for 293 yards in his last three games.
Maclin hauled in a season-high nine catches for 104 yards and caught the game-winning touchdown with two seconds remaining in Sunday's 23-21 win at Tampa Bay.||||||| Maclin, who had 13 balls thrown his way, is certainly one of quarterback Nick Foles' favorite targets. He has a lackluster matchup in Week 15 against a Cincinnati Bengals defense that's allowed just 14 touchdowns through the air - tied for the sixth-fewest in the league.
Maclin caught six passes for 130 yards with a TD in Sunday's 26-23 OT loss to the Lions.||||||| Maclin has been targeted 18 times in the last two weeks after getting four total targets in the previous two games.
Maclin won't play at Arizona on Sunday because of a hip injury. Rookie Damaris Johnson is expected to take Maclin's spot.||||||| Coach Andy Reid ruled Maclin and left tackle King Dunlap out for the matchup of 2-0 teams. Dunlap injured his hamstring in last Sunday's win over Baltimore. Maclin was hurt in the season opener and aggravated the injury throwing a block against the Ravens. He has eight catches for 119 yards and two touchdowns.
Philadelphia Eagles center Jason Kelce, wide receiver Jeremy Maclin and offensive lineman King Dunlap all left Sunday's game against the Baltimore Ravens with injuries.||||||| Maclin left in the third quarter with a hip pointer and his return was listed as questionable. Maclin was questionable on Friday's injury report with a hip pointer.

A Bethlehem man is charged with selling crack cocaine to an undercover police officer in the parking lot of The Newburg Inn in Lower Nazareth Township, according to court records.
Juan Virgilio, 24, of 51 W. Spruce St., allegedly made the sale to an undercover officer on the evening of January 5, the arrest warrant says. Virgilio was arrested and arraigned on drug charges on Sunday night before he was committed to Northampton County Prison.
According to the arrest affidavit:
- The undercover officer, working with the Colonial Regional Police Department, initially made arrangements with Virgilio to buy crack cocaine in the parking lot of the Lafayette Ambassador Bank on Newburg Road. Before the meeting, Virgilio called the undercover officer to change the meeting place to Portobello.
- While driving to the meeting place, the undercover cop spotted Virgilio walking along Newburg Road near The Newburg Inn and pulled into the parking lot there.
- Virgilio got into the back seat of the undercover officer's car and sold him .25 grams of crack cocaine for $60 and left.
- The substance purchased was tested at a lab to confirm that it was crack cocaine.
Virgilio is charged with delivery of a controlled substance, possession with intent to deliver a controlled substance and criminal use of a communications facility (cellular telephone) – all felonies. He was also charged with possession of crack cocaine, a misdemeanor.
Bail was set at $50,000 by night duty .

Cancer diagnosis transports me to strange new land
When Debbie, my wife, and I met with my doctor, who will also be my surgeon, she patiently and methodically explained the courses of treatment that might be followed to rid me of the cancer I have. I knew, before we even started, that surgery would be the winner. Following that appointment, Deb and I accumulated a small list of unanswered questions that related to the operation, and, last week, I talked to my doctor about them.
They were reasonable questions with reasonable answers offered in return. There was no insight or new information that might alter the course we have chosen. But, unlike our first meeting, when the timing of the surgery was discussed and we thought that waiting until after Christmas would probably be all right, the doctor gently but clearly suggested that sooner would be better. Why wait to take the rotten apple out of the barrel?
After I hung up the phone and this new sense of urgency had a little time to settle in, I realized a couple of things. Frightening though it is, sooner is better. If all goes well, I will be able to enjoy the holidays with my family, knowing that the first and, hopefully, biggest battle is done. I will be able to look forward to the New Year knowing that it will begin with renewal and a clean slate, that I will have left this bad thing behind me, and not that it is still looming before me.
I also understand now that the fools about whom I wrote earlier were my first passage through the anger stage of grief: If my time be short, I don't want to waste it on people or things of no substance.
And though I once decried the idea of keeping a diary about this journey, I see now that these essays I write are simply a diary in different form. They are thoughts and words I pull out of myself to document my days — days that suddenly have much more meaning to me than they did when I thought they stretched almost endlessly ahead of me.
Finally, I have come to see that grief's five stages are shifting and overlapping. There is no clear line of demarcation or time between them. A person can move from one to another and back again in the blink of an eye. They are merely a way in which one can assign some order to things, not unlike a map of some strange new place where first we must get our bearings, and only then explore. At any given moment, denial, anger, bargaining, depression and acceptance are all active states within me. I suppose that is the only way it can be — all of these feelings pushing and pulling against one another, finding and changing their levels from second to second, until at last, I hope, acceptance will reign above all the others.
Although the landmarks are different and the time is much more compressed, this new place I am exploring is, surprisingly, a lot like the place from which I came. Here, like there, I am trying to put things in order, to exert some control over the world around me, just as we all do. Here, like there, I am trying to make sense of things that often make no sense. Here, like there, I want to feel that I have some control over events, not that events control me. As I have all my life, I am trying to organize things so that they are manageable and neatly assigned to clear categories.
But I am finding that, at least this time, in this arena, there is no clear and simple formula that gives the order and organization I have always sought, and that I have almost always found. I am finding that this time, there is no easy formula that will help it all make sense. I am finding that clarity and certainty in one moment are supplanted in the very next by fear and confusion, that the elation of having a plan can be replaced in an instant by depression borne of the fact that I need this plan, at all.
And I wonder, if except for the most brazenly cocky amongst us, whether this confusion and uncertainty I am feeling is not a state that we all share. Because, each in our own way, the vast majority of us wants only to be at peace — to live our lives with dignity, with tolerance, with good humor and with grace. But above all, we, I, want to live.
— David B. Blaine lives in Thousand Oaks.

Register-Herald Reporter
Like many towns in the region, Lewisburg was aswarm with Boy Scouts Wednesday, working on community projects and — organizers hope — soaking up some local history along with the gallons of water they drank to fend off dehydration in temperatures that soared well above 90 degrees.
Part of the community service initiative connected to the 18th National Scout Jamboree now under way in nearby Fayette County, two trail-building projects in Lewisburg are off to a good start, thanks to Scouts from Texas, Minnesota and Wisconsin.
While the Texas contingent labored to clear the way for a walking trail that will connect the community garden and picnic shelter to Dorie Miller Park, boys from Wisconsin and Minnesota eagerly tackled excavation on a second city trail, linking the public library with both Maple Street and the Confederate Cemetery.
"City workers are loosening the ground and taking out the big rocks and trees, but the Scouts are doing the manual labor," explained Mark Carver, Lewisburg's director of public works and manager of the city's community service projects.
"That's what they wanted to do, and we're letting them do it," Carver said of the Scouts.
Among the Minnesota Boy Scouts on the work team digging up the ground behind the Greenbrier County Library Wednesday were Will Randolph, Ben Jasper and Thomas Long, all with Troop 206 from Long Lake; Max Brown of Troop 563, Hanover; Kenny Romine of Troop 538, Plymouth; and Joseph Mosset of Troop 333 and Joseph Koski of Troop 242, both of whom live in the Minneapolis suburb of Savage.
Ranging in age from 12 to 17, the boys said their various troops have been meeting since December in preparation for forming their region's Jamboree troop, designated A-430.
This is the second Jamboree that Mosset has attended.
Comparing the two, Mosset said, "This one has a lot more adventure; it's closer to nature. I like this one better."
The boys were uniformly enthusiastic about the setting and the amenities offered by the Summit Bechtel Reserve, the 10,600-acre site of the National Scout Jamboree.
Barth Reding, leader of Jamboree Troop A-430, said of the Summit, "They've done a great job in preparing it. There are bound to be some bumps in the road for an event this size, but it was very well thought out."
Like the boys he leads, Reding said this is his first trip to West Virginia, proclaiming, "It's beautiful."
The Minnesota Scout contingent traveled to the Mountain State on a motor coach, making stops in Chicago, Indianapolis and at the National Museum of the United States Air Force near Dayton, Ohio.
Carver noted the Scouts will rotate in a new troop every day during the community service initiative to work on the ambitious trail projects in Lewisburg, with others tackling a pair of cemetery clean-ups in the city expected to take a day each.
Lewisburg Mayor John Manchester said, "We're very excited to have so many Scouts do service projects in our community. These projects have been on the drawing board for a while. Because of the infusion of labor from the Scouts, we're able to get them done."
Carver estimated the cost of materials for the branching library trail at between $5,000 and $6,000, an amount largely secured from a grant.
The Dorie Miller Park trail is a bit more expensive, at an estimated $7,000 to $8,000 for those materials, he said.

A Dearborn resident's Christmas presents were stolen this week from her front porch, according to Dearborn police reports.
The resident told police that UPS confirmed that $85 worth of toys were delivered to her home on the 1700 block of North Waverly at 11:17 a.m. on Wednesday, Dec. 12. But when she came home at 3:15 p.m., the boxes were gone.
Her next-door neighbor told police that he had witnessed the theft—and had tried to stop it.
According to the report, the neighbor said he saw a dark grey Dodge Magnum parked in front of her home around 3 p.m. with a man and woman inside. The man got out of the car and proceeded to go up to her porch and grab the packages.
The neighbor said he then came out of his home and attempted to confront them, but they were able to get away. He said the pair went south on Waverly, west on Lawrence and south on Telegraph Road, at which point he lost sight of the car.
The neighbor was unable to see the car's license plate number, but gave a description of the man as a white male, 6 feet tall, 30 years old and wearing a black hooded sweatshirt.
This is not the first report this season of packages being stolen from a front porch in Dearborn.
Dearborn police sent out an alert Friday with tips for residents to keep their packages safe from theft.
"Each year at this time, police departments throughout the country receive an increased number of reports about UPS, Fed-Ex and USPS packages being stolen from mailboxes and doorsteps," police shared. "Thieves will often target their victims by following behind … trucks and watch for deliveries where packages are left in open areas."
Here are some tips to avoid becoming a victim of package theft, courtesy of the Dearborn Police Department:
- Always retrieve packages (and mail) as soon as it arrives.
- If you are not going to be home to receive the package, send the package to the residence of a trusted friend or relative who you know will be home. Be sure that the friend is ready and waiting to retrieve the package when the doorbell rings and be on the lookout in case the doorbell doesn't ring.
- Ask the package delivery company to hold the package if you will not be home (many have local delivery centers).
- Request that your package is marked "signature required." This requires the delivery person to stand by and wait until you're available to retrieve the package.
- Leave special instructions on where to deliver the package. A good place is on the side or back of the house, so that the package is out of sight from the road.
- Use a company that provides a tracking service and check online to see when it is scheduled to arrive.
- Have the items shipped to the nearest store for "in-store pick up."
Police ask that residents be vigilant during the holidays and report any and all suspicious activity to the Dearborn Police Department at 313-943-3030.

This is one of my old ACs. Every classroom in the basement had one or two working ACs. The second floor, where our high school is newly located, has only a few working ACs, and those are prone to blow out after just a few minutes of use. The second floor does not have proper wiring to support that level of usage. My classroom, for instance, has one outlet for the entire classroom. One. Meanwhile, Success has installed twenty-something brand new units in one day on the basement's grid.

text: "One of the most disturbing horror movies imaginable"… this is the quote on the poster for Lionsgate's BUG, which also states "from the director of THE EXORCIST". These two little jolts of information that are blaring from the official one sheets are completely misleading. BUG is not a horror film, not even close; it's a dramatic psychological thriller about two individuals who go completely insane. So before heading off to see the great William Friedkin's (French Connection) latest film, make sure you understand exactly what you're about to see because it ultimately will make or break the experience for you.

A proposal to integrate /r/anarchomemes into the Anarchosilliness collective. (self.anarchomemes)
submitted 1 year ago * by DarkLinkXXXX
I have had some discussions with the mods of /r/Anarchosilliness, and we share some mutual interest in /r/anarchomemes becoming part of the Anarchosilliness collective. Being a mod, not a ruler, of this subreddit, I have decided that I should make sure that the community gives their consent before this decision is finalized. I will be carefully analyzing your responses for two days, than follow-up with the results.
Edit: Just to be more clear, /r/anarchomemes would still retain autonomy, and would not come under control of any person or organization.
[–]mungojelly 2 points3 points4 points 1 year ago
It raises the difficult question: What is /r/anarchomemes? Well, it's a reddit, but whose reddit? Is the collection of people who browse here just an incidental collection of browsers, or do they constitute a community, or even a collective? If there is a community or a collective, what are its boundaries, where does it extend, who does it include?
As a founding member of the Anarchosillies, which is in turn the founding collective of the Confederated Federation of Anarchosillyist Collectives (CFAC), I can confidently state that we are not trying to take over this reddit somehow and are, in fact, just playing around. I was told too many times when I proposed formal federations that I was "taking the internet too seriously" and so I really took that criticism to heart. ;) We have no mechanism to compel y'all to do anything and if any orders are ever transmitted from any Anarchosillyist Headquarters I seriously suggest you make fun of and/or ignore them! :D
We at CFAC welcome the participation in our processes by anyone reading this in any way you can imagine including but not limited to formally being or becoming some sort of collective as /r/anarchomemes and sending spokes to our councils from here, joining one of our other collectives (such as the Anarchosillies, we could use a few more members), starting your own collective of just yourself as seems to be popular these days and just appointing yourself spoke to everything, voting in the new Uncollected Collective that the Anarchosillies are about to propose if that happens to end up happening, just showing up and inventing your own offices and titles and strutting about as if you own the place, plotting anarchosillyist coups and insurrections, making fun of us, or, the most important option of all, just ignoring us! Any way you like it.
[–]ntheg111 1 point2 points3 points 1 year ago
Bad idea. I really hope it never happens.
If you feel like consolidating, how about starting with r/anarchistpics and r/anarchomemes?
[–]DarkLinkXXXX[S] 1 point2 points3 points 1 year ago
Would you like to elaborate on why you think it's a bad idea?
[–]ntheg111 2 points3 points4 points 1 year ago
Sure. Sorry, i was on a phone and typing wasn't fun :P
Well in my humble opinion, I feel like there is a difference between visiting a forum for the Confederated Federation of Anarchosillyist Collectives as a means of experimenting with federation, and wanting to view memes related to the anarchist ideal in principle.
This is especially important since memes and photos can appeal to newcomers or anyone who is starting to learn or appreciate anarchist theory without coming from that type of background.
For example, some people learning about animal rights and abuse may frequent r/vegetarian, but would have been turned off if all the great images/memes/cartoons were all in r/PETA where people are taking action
Ultimately, /r/Anarchosilliness might turn away any skeptics and thus limit exposure to potential anarchist.
[–]DarkLinkXXXX[S] 0 points1 point2 points 1 year ago*
Thanks for the elaboration, and your humble opinion will be considered.
Of course, understand that if you're the only one that thinks this way (out of 20 people saying yes), you may not get your way. ;) Also, see edit.
[–]andyogm 1 point2 points3 points 1 year ago
So, no consensus? Mod-coup mod-coup! :)
[–]DarkLinkXXXX[S] 0 points1 point2 points 1 year ago
lol I"m confused.
/r/anarchism joke. You suggest a system instead of pure consensus. I claim you're an authoritarian. We all laugh.
Oh. I see. My sense of humor needs some work. ;)
[–]ntheg111 0 points1 point2 points 1 year ago
Naturally! Also keep in mind i'm mostly a lurker here, my opinion shouldn't be regarded to the extent of other more important opinions here.
Just my $.02...
[–]andyogm 0 points1 point2 points 1 year ago
Sounds like hierarchy to me.
I don't really see people getting turned away from /r/anarchosilliness, and I think the analogy is flawed. PETA is kind of gross (no offense to PETA members), whereas r/@S is just a bunch of clowns (literally).
I don't think people will be turned off by anarcho-panda and class struggle the board game.
Actually, I think I may be misunderstanding?
I said thanks, but now I just realized I have no idea what you're talking about. Could you come at me again please?
That's an aggressive response...
I'm sorry you read it that way
It's okay. It's not a bad thing, I was just amused at the response.
Support. We should have DB0 setup a confederation page...
[–]Youmakemesickman 0 points1 point2 points 1 year ago
I'd be in favor of this as long as this SR does in fact keep it's autonomy.
[–]reaganveg 0 points1 point2 points 1 year ago
becoming part of the Anarchosilliness[3] collective
becoming part of the Anarchosilliness[3] collective
I do not know what that entails.
[–]Reflucks 0 points1 point2 points 1 year ago
Maybe silliness should contribute to memes.
Personally I don't like the connotation of silliness to anarchism... Maybe I'm too serious about it but it does sounds a bit off..

With a firm desire to continue serving the residents of the Village of Dexter, Trustee Jim Carson has formally announced his bid for village president in the November general election.
"My interest in local government arose from a desire to positively affect the quality of life in our community. I believe that our community is a better place to live because of my past leadership during the last nine years as a village councilman, planning commissioner, and community leader," Carson said in a written statement Sunday.
Carson, who was elected to the village council in 2003, said he's had aspirations to seek the presidency for several years.
"All of my government and community involvement has been intended to be a stepping stone toward the village's top elected post," he said. "I am running because I think that the time is right, and I have a passion for good government and the energy for public service."
Carson said since January he's held several discussions with village residents about his decision to seek office. If elected, he said his goal is to provide more opportunities to involve the public prior to council decisions.
"The No. 1 goal I would like to accomplish in my four years as village president would be to provide a greater opportunity for residents to participate in the decision making process regarding where we spend their money, future infrastructure, and what their streets look like," he said. "I plan to start a door-to-door campaign this week with the desire, as time allows, to visit with each resident more than once between now and November. I would be interested to hear what our residents would like to see the village look like in the coming years."
As a trustee, Carson said he feels that the village council has done a good job planning for growth and development in the community.
"I believe this council has done a good job in the past, but we have not engaged the public as much as we should have," he said citing . "The continued growth of the village will be in commercial and industrial development. We've done a good job positioning ourselves in that area."
An example is the new that will break ground later this year on Baker Road.
"The wellness center is a fantastic $9 million investment in our community. I think we could have done a better job communicating with the residents whose property adjoins the construction site what to expect," Carson said. "One individual came home and some of his trees were gone. My feeling is, notify the residents upfront and show them exactly what the landscape would look like."
Other goals include planning for a regional fire department and new village offices, he said.
Carson is currently the only village candidate to file paperwork for the November ballot. President Shawn Keough is also up for re-election. Candidates for the Dexter Village Council have until 4 p.m. Aug. 14 to file with the Scio Township Clerk's Office.
Carson is a graduate of Cleary University and Eastern Michigan University, and owns and operates A & D Business Machines in Ann Arbor. In addition to the village council, Carson serves as president of the Board of Directors, president of the Western-Wastenaw Area Value Express Board of Directors, and chairman of the Wastenaw Area Transportation Study Policy Committee. He is also a member of the .
Carson resides in the village with his wife Susan. For more information, visit www.voteforJimCarson.com or email firstname.lastname@example.com.

GRAVENHURST - They were just a little bit late.
AP source: Cyber thieves got into 1,000 StubHub accounts; company says it...
LAKE OF BAYS – Dorset News for July 24, 2014
Early in the morning on April 6, Heinz Nawroth, better known as Henry to friends and acquaintances, slipped the bonds of the earth.
Born on August 23, 1924, on the sprawling estate of Baron Praetorius von Richthofen's "model farm" in Schwarzaue, Silesia, now known as Boguslawitz, Heinz was the only son of Paul Nawroth and his wife Ida Schroter.
Heinz's father was the estate manager for Richthofen (uncle to the famous "Red Baron") and it was here that Heinz developed a lifelong love of the land.
Heinz survived World War II and like many immigrated with his wife Erna Nicoletti to Canada to make a new life for his family.
Settling in the Orrville area after a brief few years in Hamilton, Heinz set about realizing his dreams. As a skilled metal worker, Heinz worked for many years at Shaw Almex Industries, training an entire generation of young men.
In the 1960s Parry Sound was still stuck in a pre-industrial, patriarchial mind set and his more conservative employers were bemused when Heinz declared that he would hire anyone - black, blue or green, male or female if they were willing to work hard, then set about doing so.
Heinz had an amazing memory and infallible sense of direction. Almost
50 years after he left his home in Germany he was able to navigate the roads back to Schwarzaue when he returned for a visit with his son Richard and daughter-in-law Jane.
A complex man, Heinz could be both charming and terrifying at the same time. He took great delight in engaging in discussions especially when there was an opportunity to challenge some politically correct position.
Above all, however, he loved his family. He was a loving husband, father and grandfather and we will all miss him in the days and years to come.

NASA is expected to announce later today that a space rock, capable of wiping out a large city will make a pass of the Earth on 15th February. The rock, some 35 yards in size will pass at a distance of 17,000 miles from the Earths surface, that's 14 times closer than the moon is to our planet, closer even than many weather satellites in orbit.
The fly by is being  called "a record near miss" by scientists as it will be the closest an asteroid has come to Earth without actually hitting it since records began. So far, all asteroids coming closer than this have impacted the surface, such as the 1908 rock that detonated high in the atmosphere and flattened vast areas of forest in an uninhabited part of Siberia. This became known as the Tunguska Event.
Nasa is thought to know the whereabouts of only 1% of the space rocks that orbit far out in the asteroid belt.

Beginning on Monday, December 14, the High Line will be open daily from 7:00 AM to 8:00 PM.
The High Line will remain open year-round. Late fall and winter is a great time to visit the High Line. We encourage you to come up and experience the changing landscape of the park in all seasons.
Please check our Web site regularly, as we will update it with information you should know about park conditions and hours of operation during inclement weather.
The NYC Lab School High School Chorus celebrates the holiday season with a free outdoor concert on the High Line on Thursday, December 17, at 5:30 PM.
Join us for an early evening performance of seasonal and Broadway selections. The chorus will perform two sets, at 5:30 PM and 6:00 PM, on the High Line in the Chelsea Market Passage, near 15th Street. Closest entrances are the stairs at 14th Street and 10th Avenue, and the stairs and elevator at 16th Street and 10th Avenue.
This program is free and open to the public. No RSVP is necessary. Hot cocoa and gingerbread by Tom Colicchio's Craft Sweets will be available for purchase at the event for $3.
Our High Line gardeners (Maeve, Andi, Kaspar, Kyla, and Johnny), are a great resource for information on High Line horticulture, and now we'd like to share them with you! You can go directly to the source for any planting-related questions by emailing our gardening team.
Please submit questions to email@example.com
Please be sure to include your name and city along with your question. If selected, the answer to your question will be posted on our Ask a Gardener page. Please note: due to the high volume of questions we receive, we are unable to answer every question.
If you're near the southern entrance to the High Line next weekend, you'll probably notice a temporary structure set up on the corner of Gansevoort and Washington Streets, right underneath the High Line. It's Target To-Go, a temporary holiday shopping event, in place Friday, December 11, through Sunday, December 13, and open daily from 10:00 AM to 8:00 PM.
This holiday season location is made possible by Target and the New York City Department of Parks & Recreation. Target has made a substantial donation towards the ongoing maintenance and operations of the High Line. It has also made a charitable donation of its products to low-income New Yorkers.
Celebrate the High Line's opening year with a gift of membership to Friends of the High Line. Members receive a 10% discount at many High Line neighborhood stores, the High Line map and seasonal newsletter, and special announcements of upcoming events and programs.
The High Line is quickly becoming one of New York's favorite parks. Share the High Line—and the inspiration, magic, and optimism that it stands for—by giving a gift of membership today.
Your gift will provide crucial funding for the operation of the park, allowing us to hire gardeners to keep the park's plantings and trees in peak condition and maintenance crews to ensure the High Line is safe for its visitors.
Please make your gift before December 15 to ensure that notification of your gift membership is delivered before Christmas.
You can also purchase a High Line Gift Membership at The WIRED Store located at 415 West 13th Street (between 9th Avenue & Washington Street).

I've a couple of books in the World's Best Science Fiction series, from the 1960s. They are both pretty good. They feature authors such as Fred Pohl, Roger Zelazny, Philip K Dick, Brian Aldiss, R.A. Lafferty, Larry Niven etc., so the stories are top quality.

J.D. -- check abebooks.com for cheap "reading copies" of the Star Science Fiction collections. Someone's bound to have them for good prices -- especially later editions.
Nothing to contribute to the above reading lists -- everyone's said the ones I'd have offered up for inclusion.

Re: Essential Anthologies
I have a curious one,a little paperback called A Sense of Wonder.
3 nice early stories in there from Murray Leinster,John Wyndham and Jack Williamson,which I've yet to read.
A nice collection i once had was Off Planet by Simak,which introduced me to this author. Then there's Asimov,the robot books,king being I,Robot.
These are collections of course and I don't have a world class anthology of classic SF as yet,so this thread will prove useful!

Every year Gardner Dozois produces a collection of stories under the title, The Year's Best Science Fiction. We're into the twenties now as far as the number of years this has appeared. It generally contains some really good titles representing a very representative cross section of SF authors.

It may not look like it, but the large structure taking the space of the former Fire Company 2 on Boonton Avenue is Kinnelon's newest firehouse.
The firehouse was designed by East Rutherford engineering firm Inglese Architecture and Engineering, spearheaded by owner Jak Inglese and managed by architect and Kinnelon Volunteer Fire Co. member Alex Merlucci. Merlucci said the natural-looking exterior, including stone and wooden features, was meant to make the firehouse fit in with its Fayson Lakes surroundings.
"I think that it really kind of fits in to what you see in this part of Kinnelon," Merlucci said.
The new Boonton Avenue firehouse replaces the firehouse that stood where the parking lot is now located since the 1950s. The new firehouse features a large, open bottom floor with an upper floor that houses bathrooms with showers, a multi-purpose room, corporate office space and more. The firehouse also features a third bay, while its previous space featured only two.
Only two trucks are currently housed at the firehouse, but Chief Kieth Pavlak said the extra space for the third bay may soon be filled.
"We're possibly looking at purchasing another piece of equipment," he said.
That piece of equipment is a six-wheeled trailer capable of carrying a stretcher. Other materials will also be stored in the third bay in coming months, including foam needed for the PSE&G power line project.
Despite the firehouse's two floors, the new Fire Co. 2 does not have a pole. Instead, it has several training features that will safely allow firefighters to get from the top level down. Merlucci even designed one special feature that will allow the firefighters to train on rope. Another feature, a door/window from in the upper floor multi-purpose room, will help firefighters train with ladders.
The contractor is still tying up some loose ends on the project and the building is still awaiting its permanent occupancy certificate. But Pavlak said trucks have been moved into the firehouse and the section of Kinnelon serviced by the fire company has never had a service interruption.
With one firehouse upgraded, Pavlak said he is confident that the borough's fire company will lower its Insurance Services Office (ISO) rating to help cut insurance rates for taxpayers. Once that is achieved, Pavlak said the fire company will be looking to upgrade the firehouse on Kiel Avenue, built in 1939.
"That was the very first firehouse in Kinnelon," Pavlak said.

MONTEREY PARK — Few of the women who entered had ever been into a typical U.S. restaurant before. Even though some of them had lived in this country for as long as two years, they were bewildered. They found a menu they could not understand, a staff unable to speak their language and a baffling food-service system.
The restaurant was a Sizzler, and the 35 women were Asian immigrants seeking to adapt to life in America.
"The women had been afraid to enter an American restaurant because they didn't know how to order," said Treasa Hu, who organized the luncheon outing as part of a Salvation Army class for Asian immigrants.

The Journal Sentinel sports staff brings fans the latest news and inside information on the Brewers
Jeff Bianchi starting at second base
St. Louis -- With Rickie Weeks still showing no signs of snapping out of his funk, Milwaukee Brewers manager Ron Roenicke is giving Jeff Bianchi a start at second base tonight against the St. Louis Cardinals at Busch Stadium.
Playing time has been scarce for Bianchi since he joined the Brewers on May 2 -- he's appeared in seven games and gone 1 for 5 in the plate in that span. He made his only other start last Sunday at third base in Cincinnati.
Other than that, nothing else out of the ordinary for the Brewers as far as the lineup is concerned.

great news. bianchi will be an improvement over the deadbeat weeks any day. offensively defensively and contract wise.Hide replies
Offensively no.
I know Bianchi has only had 81 pa's over the last 2 years but what about the .189 avg or the .228 obp excites you?
Art, if Bianchi makes any contact, it will be an improvement! Actually, Bianchi is going to surprise you - mark my words!
I hope you are right!
Can't hurt. They are the second worst team in the National League what do you have to lose?Hide replies
The second worst team, with the league's worst everyday player.
Finally!! Any lineup without Weeks is an improvement. The only other time on this trip that number 23 was on the pine, we won. At least we have a ball player at second.Hide replies
I asked it that night, and I'll ask it again today:
what was it that made the difference that night, do you think? Was it Lalli's 0-for-3, or the one single grounder that Yuni had to handle at 2nd base?
It was the mindset of the other players knowing that starting positions were earned by those that give the team a better chance of winning, not those the GM stupidly signed to over-inflated contracts.
So I assume you'll be calling your local bookie to get a bet down for tonight's game?
Yep, they have a better chance of winning than they did last night.
The problems of this team extend well beyond Weeks, but a new face at second can't hurt.Hide replies
One step at a time! Rome wasn't built in a day!
I'm genuinely excited to watch tonight's game. Bianchi will at least put the bat on the ball and field balls that are more than 2 steps from him.Hide replies
We'll see
Insanity: doing the same thing over and over again and expecting different results. - Albert Einstein
Maybe Roenicke isn't insane after all. I was beginning to have my doubts. Now there is that matter of Axford.Hide replies
Yeah, I have a bad feeling that Bianchi is going to play well and the Brewers are going to be leading by 3 runs in 7th inning, and Roenicke is going to throw it all away by pitching Axford in the 8th and we watch him give up 5 runs.
Waterdog -
We all know that the truth hurts, and if you continue spewing this type of truth not only will others give you the thumbs down, I might have to as well... tongue n cheek... ha ha
Actually, I couldn't have said it any better, good call.
And M.Angelo, sorry my friend, but he's still an idiot. Anybody that value's his job would have sat that clown along time ago, and yes I'm talking about Weeks.
Does it not make one wonder what he does during the off season... if he's sooo... bad early in the year, why doesn't he hook up with his hitting Coach... wayyyy before they even come to ST. and then when the season starts, TTThen... he finally wants to start swinging a bat. No wonder he's Crap ! And with all that money he's making... you'd think this IDIOT... would have alittle pride in his work/JOB !
Enough to hire a hitting instructor, but no.... that would be asking to much.
Hey, maybe Jeff gives the Brewers a spark, and they try to save their season. Still 75% of schedule left to play, but already 10 1/2 out. The main problem though is not Weeks, it's the starting pitching. They need to step up.
Roenicke must have looked at the tape of the game and saw the same thing we saw on TV last night; Rickie just was not in that game defensively, as well as offensively.
Hopefully, this will not be the only start for Bianchi, no matter how Bianchi does offensively tonight; Bianchi has played only a handful of games at second; yet, we'll see second base manned by someone who will go after the ball rather than waiting for the ball to come to him. Who knows, we may even see some offense tonight out of the Bianchi.
Rickie has to start lovin' the game again - obviously, he's shown no love for the game in 2013!Hide replies
Much too late for Rickie to start loving the game, again.
Good move, Ron Roenicke. Now give Jeff a few days in a row, please, too.

What is the test?
Hysteroscopy is a procedure that allows a gynecologist to look inside your uterus. The hysteroscope is a long tube, about the size of a straw, which has a built-in viewing device. Hysteroscopy is useful for diagnosing and treating some problems that cause infertility, miscarriages, and abnormal menstrual bleeding. Sometimes other procedures, such as laparoscopy, are done at the same time as hysteroscopy.
