Capital Flows in the APEC Region
This paper describes the current episode of capital inflows to several Asian economies, summarizing the principal facts, the impact of the inflows, and policy options.25 The discussion also covers, when relevant, the similar experiences of Latin American countries, with an emphasis on the policy priorities that could ensure the persistence and sustainability of these flows, as far as possible. The analysis draws heavily on previous work by Calvo, Leiderman, and Reinhart (1993, 1994, and forthcoming, 1995), who used data for ten Latin American countries and eight Asian countries, as well as other recent studies undertaken in the IMF. The first part of this section describes the main characteristics and macroeconomic consequences of capital inflows to the Asian region. The second part discusses the role of external factors in the present inflows episode, as well as the likely factors that will determine the sustainability of these capital inflows. Finally, the relative merits of various policy responses to the surge in capital inflows are discussed.Download Info

Marchex, the company that runs Enhance Interactive and the Marchex Content Network announced it will be adding conversion tracking to its PPC advertising platform.
Marchex's new conversion tracking feature allows advertisers to easily designate and track five different types of conversions, including i) sales; ii) leads; iii) sign-ups; iv) views of key pages and v) clicks on specific links on designated pages. It also enables advertisers to better track performance by keywords and make modifications to their campaigns to improve their conversion rate and ROI, the company's press release explained.
The updated reporting tools and improvements to the user interface in the account management system (AMS) are designed to help advertisers more quickly and easily access key campaign performance data and make modifications to their campaigns. Advertisers can download reports based on account, campaign and keyword performance into Excel or .csv formats, while new time filters make it easier for advertisers to compare performance data over different time periods. Improved 'saved report' functionality makes it easier for advertisers to find the exact saved report they want, based on selected accounts, campaigns or time periods.
In addition, Marchex updated the keyword editing functionality and navigation within the AMS user interface, while expanding the results display, making it easier for advertisers with large keyword lists and several campaigns to manage multiple changes to specific keywords or advertisements.
"The combination of conversion tracking, new reporting tools and improvements to the account management system user interface will better enable our advertisers, particularly large advertisers, to optimize their performance of their campaigns and better assess their ROI on our networks," said Scott Greenberg, Marchex SVP of Advertising Services. "These are important steps in our initiative to deliver high quality traffic to our advertisers and to arm them with more of the tools and information they need to maximize and measure their campaigns."
Conversion tracking is free to Enhance Interactive and Marchex Network advertisers and enables them to view conversion data by campaign, advertisement and keyword, all available through the AMS. This includes detailed instructions on how to easily install conversion tracking.

These fourteen original essays accept a dual premise: technology pervades and is embedded in all human activities. By taking that approach, studies of technology address two questions central in anthropological and archaeological research today-accounting for variability and change. These diverse yet interrelated chapters show that to understand human lives, researchers must deal with the material world that all peoples create and inhabit. Therefore an anthropology of technology is not a separate, discrete inquiry; instead, it is a way to connect how people make and use things to any activity studied, ranging from religion, to enculturation, to communication, to art.
Each contributor discusses theories and methods and also offers a substantial case study. These detailed inquiries span human societies from the Paleolithic to the computer age. By moving beyond the usual approach of examining ancient technologies, particularly chipped stone and low-fired ceramics, this volume probes for the construction of meaning in the material world across millennia. The authors of these essays find technology to be an inclusive and flexible topic that merges with studies of everything else in human activity.
"A provocative and powerful discussion of the role of technology in human cultures. At a time when archaeology has become less focused on theory, and archaeology and social anthropology seem to fracture farther and farther apart, the book is a breath of fresh air."—Professor John Douglas, University of Montana

text: Products DescriptionThe Chuck Taylor All Star shoe has developed a number of nicknames over the years, such as: Converse All Star Hi-top Yellow, or Chucker Boots or Chuck Taylors for the higher styles. For decades the Chuck Taylor All Star High Top shoe only came in black, with a white variant released in 1947. Under pressure from basketball teams Converse decided in 1966 to manufacture other colors. Different materials also began to be used, starting in the 1970s, including leather Converse, suede and vinyl, and even hemp, rather than just canvas. Besides high-tops, low-tos and later knee-high versions were produced. Take on the classic Converse with a canvas upper, high ankle and rubber toe cap. The mens canvas trainers are perfect for a stylish, casual look, benefitting from a lace-up front and air holes to the instep for ventilation and comfort. Welcome to Our Converse Sale store to pick. |

We need help for these birds. There are 2 macaws, 4 lovebirds, 1 quaker and 1 cockatiel in desperate need of veterinary care and immediate recovery. We will be removing them from the home shortly and take to the vet tomorrow.This is a very sad and all too common situation where the owner became ill and is unable to provide for the birds. Unfortunately in this case help was late in coming for at least one sun conure.I received a call yesterday from an oncologist explaining a dire situation with a lady and her birds. The lady has reached out to us this morning and we made an assessment visit to the home. This is a very critical situation for all parties. Please understand this lady reached out for help, but apparently there is years of buildup in the cages as the bottoms are rotting out and feces is piled over a foot high. They need out NOW. They need vet care NOW. We are bringing them to Birds of Paradise into quarantine until a vet visit tomorrow. We need all donations we can get at this time. Please help if you can.
It's another one of those sad posts that the world needs to not turn away from. Please pass this along. Don't let these birds and those in the same situation suffer with no acknowledgment.

BANGOR, Maine (AP) - A 38-year-old Maine man faces sentencing after pleading guilty to receiving Veterans Affairs disability benefits to which he wasn't entitled.
Richard Ramsdell Jr. of Cutler entered his plea Wednesday in U.S. District Court in Bangor.
Prosecutors say Ramsdell obtained more than $200,000 in VA benefits by falsely claiming to be unemployed and unable to work because of his back and mental condition.
Court records show that Ramsdell in fact was working for a wreath manufacturer and as a fisherman and painter.
He faces a maximum penalty of up to 10 years in prison, a fine of up to $250,000 and full restitution.

Larry the Cable Guy had plenty of one-liners on plenty of subjects.
On Friday night, he delivered zingers on Halloween, "Duck Dynasty," Al Gore, Walmart, Twitter, Viagra, Christmas, the Dollar Store, family, political correctness, nude beaches and McDonald's, which he pronounced more like "Mack-�Donald's" in his thick Georgia accent.
While he talked about all that — and much, much more — the audience that seemed to fill the Orpheum Theater laughed and giggled along throughout the 90-minute performance.
Larry's humor is much smarter than the character seems to be. Dan Whitney, the Nebraska native who plays the character of the Cable Guy, would be funny even if he dropped the accent and redneck persona and did some of those one-liners and impressions from the show as himself.
And the people in the crowd weren't the only ones laughing. He laughed at a lot of his own jokes, sometimes so hard that he couldn't even get through his own punchline.
"Do you get the feeling that I could do this by myself up here?" he asked.
Larry also broke down the wall at the end of the show for some special moments when he asked the audience for questions.
He was asked about the film "Cars," for which he did the voice of the tow truck, Mater, and said, " 'Cars' was probably the greatest, funnest thing I've ever done."
He was also asked about being a celebrity and said, "Seriously, I'm normal. I never moved to New York or L.A. My whole goal was to get back here." He even said he turned down several sitcoms so he could keep living in Nebraska. Larry also told a funny story about doing "The Tonight Show" only to return home and be asked by his wife about the trash cans.
He kept taking questions.
On his comedic material coming from his real life: "I'm a one-liner comedian, so I take something that actually happened and then I twist it to be completely absurd."
On his kids: "Feed 'em a piece of cheese and send them on their way." He later talked about his 7-year-old son's love of football.
Larry seemed genuinely grateful for his home-state fans, which included Nebraska men's basketball coach Tim Miles, and continually praised them for supporting him for so long. (He also predicted a 9-point win over Michigan State in today's football game.)
"Thanks a lot, everybody. I love you guys," Larry told the audience. "Thank you so much, and git-r-done!"

Juventus fans claiming Roma were Lucky to get a Point are more Delusional than Sepp Blatter...the only thing lucky about Roma was the Goal but they were 100 times more Dangerous than Juve & created More & better chances of scoring than jube including a Penalty. other than a chance for Quag. jube were ANONYMOUS....so please Jube, Do me a Favor & talk arrogantly when you actually WIN SOMETHING !!!
good game, close, but for me juventus edged it, good save buffon. vidal had an unusually poor game, and i agree juventus do need a WC striker, maybe someone like cavani.
Serie A is not too bad if not for the violent and rowdy fans... keep the fire hazards and knives away from the game.
"Serie A is not too bad" how is seria bad first off. "violent and rowdy fans." this is coming from an epl fan lol the irony hahah .
Common man what the hell are you talking about. Each league is beautiful. EPL has its beauty about it the same goes for Seria A. It gets old discussing which league is better, nicer and so on ........ People have to move on
Great game from both sides. lots of action and pace. can't believe Juve was so careless after they scored and gave a penalty away. thankfully we have Buffon
Legendary buffon is quickly claiming his throne back as the greatest keeper in the world. Thank you for saving us a point. I still think we need a world class striker which we dont have.
Totti was the only player (aside from Taddei who was a menace on the right) on Roma that any composure and control whatsoever when he had the ball high up the pitch. Sure Osvaldo, Lamela and the midfield ran for days but they never did anything with the ball. De Rossi was incredible today, but Totti was huge as well. He was the focal point, he held up possession and he created chance. Too bad he missed, it wouldve been a great day for Roma and the Serie A, but it wasnt a bad hit, and Buffon is a legend too.

Evan is def podium material in USA. It depends on if judges want him to have Olympic spot or respectable bronze retirement goodbye. Evan is a champion, and liked. One can never underestimate two elders-three actually in mens-Plush, Joubert and Lysacek. We love these long-time warriors and so do the judges. If Evan won a bronze in Olympics, it wouldn't surprise me- but he'll have to outskate Plush- Plush owns Bronze in Sochi unless he messes up bad. Evan and Plush are handicapped only by age and unhealed injury. They will be fierce competitors in anything til they die. I will never count them out.
Look as Shizuka in 2006. Boring, conservative clean. Cool competitors show off in practice then force the nervous to blow the Olympics. Kim has gold unless she falls to nerves. Kwan, Witt always won because they never let it consume or frighten them.
I will put my money on a veteran WC/OC any day. Clean is very impt. Had Sasha been clean, she easily would have beat Shizuka, but the Shiz was doing 3x3x3 in practice. She didn't need her full arsenal that day. Maybe we would have seen Shizuka's best effort with a clean stunning Sasha, but we seldom saw clean from the tiny dancer. Sasha was the silver skater who mihjt have been gold, could have been Kwan. Sad, kind of. Unlike Kim in 2010 with triple axels in the mix, she had to do her toughest stuff to ensure victory. She is in same place again, incredibly with a 20 point lead from Mao. It's gonna be kinda sad-that race.
I think mens will be a splatfest-the podium is no given-and Chan is no lock for gold like YuNa. I hope I'm wrong about the men, but Olympics doesn't always bring out the best from the majority of competitors.

Internationally known pianist Lori Sims will perform a free concert on Oct. 25 at 7:30 p.m. in Ford Chapel at Allegheny College.
She will perform the Chromatic Fantasy and Fugue in d minor, BWV 90, by Johann Sebastian Bach; the Fantasia (Variations), Opus 25, by Ben Weber; "Excursions," Opus 20, by Samuel Barber; and "Carnaval," Opus 9, by Robert Schumann.
Sims received the Gold Medal at the 1998 Gina Bachauer International Piano Competition, where she also won the prize for the best performance of a work by Brahms. Her other awards include first prize co-winner of the 1994 Felix Bartholdy-Mendelssohn Competition in Berlin, Germany, winner of the 1993 American Pianists' Association Competition with outstanding distinction from the jury, and the silver medal in the 1987 Kosciuszcko Foundation Chopin Competition.
She has performed throughout North America, Europe and China. Her Alice Tully Hall recital debut in New York in 2000 received critical acclaim from Bernard Holland in the New York Times. She has made seven appearances at the prestigious Gilmore International Keyboard Festival, where she has been featured as solo-recitalist, masterclass artist and chamber artist.
As a chamber musician, she has been featured at the El Paso Chamber Music Festival, Fontana Chamber Players in Kalamazoo and with Opus 21, a chamber ensemble dedicated to the performance of more current compositions. She has recorded a Schumann CD with cellist Natalia Khoma and three sonatas of William Bolcom with violinist Renata Artman Knific.
Her concert at Allegheny College is made possible through the generosity of Meadville resident Charles Shortt, in memory of his wife, Meredith, who was also a pianist.

OPINION: Sam Spratt was right. Zac Guildford - the much vilified All Black - is not a monster. He may be many things; flawed, angry, obsessive.
But judging by those leaping to his defence this week, we're slowly gaining a broader appreciation of the man beyond his try-scoring deeds for the Crusaders and late night incidents that have made so many headlines.
Spratt is Guildford's partner, so you'd expect she would leap to her man's defence as she did so eloquently in yesterday's sport pages in The Press. She's stared down her own demons - a near fatal race riding accident - so is well placed to comment on Guildford's battle with the bottle.
So too is another Guildford fan.
The extract below was emailed to me yesterday and I can safely say will take some topping in terms of insight and commentary when it comes to Guildford's character.
There's always another side to a story, isn't there.
Here's Lachie Sutherland's, as told by his mother, Philippa.
"In January of 2012, Chris [her partner] and I were waiting in the CHOC [Christchurch Hospital's children's hematology and oncology centre] day room to meet two Crusaders who were coming to visit the CHOC kids as part of their Crusader commitments. We were two weeks at best into diagnosis, shell shocked and still raw with grief.
[Her son] Lachie had just had surgery to insert a hickman line, had a nasal gastric tube in his nose, and was so sick as the cancer was ravaging his wee body.
"The adjustment for Chris and I was huge, but also for Lachie, who was having to readjust to significant physical changes that were affecting his confidence. The chance to meet with two Crusaders was a much welcomed break from the realities that we were dealing with.
"That day, it was Robbie Fruean and Zac Guildford who were due up at the ward. It was the first time that we'd met Zac, but a relationship was struck that day between Zac and Lachie that would continue throughout the following 12 months. This friendship between the two would come to have a profound impact on Lachie and the way in which he approached his cancer journey, such that only those of us close to Lachie can fully appreciate.
"I have thought long and hard about commenting in such a public forum as Chris and I have always viewed this relationship as private between Lachie and Zac. With all the negative publicity of late, it seemed wrong to not comment and share a little insight into a relationship that we believe has been the most motivating and inspirational element for Lachie throughout his tough journey.
"The encouragement, support and friendship that Zac has shown to our precious son goes above and beyond the requirements of his Crusaders' obligations. For Chris and I, we know a person with empathy and compassion well beyond his years. My enduring image will always be of a little boy, going bald, tubes everywhere, sitting on the floor playing firemen with his rugby idol.
"Words cannot express how grateful we are to Zac for his presence in Lachie's life and for the positive role model he has, and will continue to be."
If NZRU chief executive Steve Tew is searching for another reason as to why the rugby family should not give up on Guildford - that's after all what families do - then Lachie has provided a rather compelling one, would you say?

Storm Outages Finally Ended
UPDATE While most Westporters who lost power early Thursday in an overnight wind and rain storm had it back this morning, outages persisted until tonight for some.
At 10:15 p.m., Connecticut Light and Power Company said none of its Westport customers was still in the dark, making good on a revised projection that restoration would be "substantially complete" by 10 p.m.
It had earlier said it hoped to restore most of the remaining outages in Westport by noon today.
As many as 4,500 Westport customers, or 36 percent, were out after the storm.

US Transportation Secretary Ray LaHood said on Friday that the Boeing 787 Dreamliner will not fly again until authorities are "1,000 percent sure" it is safe.LaHood said he could not predict when the 787 would be authorised to resume flights.The US Federal Aviation Administration on Wednesday temporarily grounded the 787 after a second incident involving battery failure caused one of the aircraft to make an emergency landing in Japan.LaHood said safety authorities are investigating the jet's lithium-ion batteries, which pack more energy and are faster to recharge but which are potentially more volatile."The reason that we grounded it is because we did further consultation with Boeing and there was another incident," LaHood told reporters. "So those planes aren't flying now until we really have a chance to examine the batteries... That seems to be where the problem is." Source: Reuters

This production was filmed in Jamaica and no humane representative was present. The boys first hunt and kill a lizard which they cook on their campfire. According to the production company, fake lizards were substituted for the live when the lizards were killed. In another scene, a puffer fish is speared. The fish was obviously alive when it was speared as it was still moving when the spear was lifted. The boys find a dead pig on the beach and poke at it. Later the boys hunt and kill a pig. Although you don't see the kill, you do see a dead pig being laid on the ground as one of the boys cuts its throat. The head of the pig is placed on the end of a stake where it attracts swarms of flies. It is shown in various stages of decay thoughout the film and is used as a symbol for the boys' decadence. The production company obtained the dead pig from a slaughter house and used the actual head in filming. Because an animal was actually killed during the filming, in the case of the puffer fish, we are rating Lord of the Flies "Unacceptable". |

UE Men's Baskeball Schedule & Results

The Aces' faces look familiar, but the play and results don't.
The University of Evansville men are winning tight games -- at home and even on the road -- that they haven't won in the recent past, this season even.
Look no further than the first two games, a 67-64 road loss to Lipscomb and a 74-69 home loss to Miami in the second game to be reminded of the frequent failures of the previous two seasons.
All teams had to do was get Evansville in a close game and it would find a way to lose, especially on the road where the Aces had won just three times in the previous two years.
But something changed in the first win of the year, a 63-49 victory against Cleveland State at Roberts Stadium. The visitors were making a late run and the Aces simply said 'No!'
Since then there have been two four-game winning streaks wrapped around the only poor effort of the season at Missouri on Dec. 3, a 73-54 loss.
The most recent win, the 80-75 victory Monday at Austin Peay, was significant on several fronts.
First Evansville trailed by nine points at the half and roared from behind with a 51-point second half for the win, ran the Governors out of their own gym.
Also, the Aces made their run to the lead with leading scorer Matt Webster on the bench with a sore ankle and then held on at the end.
Three times Austin Peay cut the lead to two points in the final three minutes and three times the Aces answered. The Governors didn't lose the game; Evansville won it.
Webster swears this is a different bunch of Aces, a bunch of trump cards who refuse to lose. I'm beginning to believe he may be right.

According to an NOP Research Group health survey, Tuesday is the day when people do it the least, perhaps because they're all tuckered out from loving Monday so much (seriously, the applied mathematicians at University of Vermont say so). And scientists say that sex hormones peak on Thursday mornings, making that the primo time to get primal.
We say, why limit yourself to celibacy on Tuesdays? Surely there are ways to avoid sex any day of the week! Of course, some people actually like to have sex (for any of 237 or so reasons), so we also included excuses to get it on each day ending with y. (You might want to go ahead and get these printed on those day-of-the-week panties.)
Sex: We better do it now, since we start work tomorrow
No Sex: I've really got to clean up all these liquor bottles from last night.

Sex: I heard people never have sex on Tuesdays, we should prove them wrong.
No Sex: I believe their findings are correct.
Sex: It's hump day, baby!
No Sex: Please, never say that again.
Sex: Hey, my sex hormones are out of control.
No Sex: Didn't we just do it? It seems like we did.
Sex: That party was great, I had soooo many margaritas.
No Sex: You smell like my high-school art teacher. The one who got fired for being a drunk.
Sex: You know, we've got nothing to do all day, and there's nobody around ...
No Sex: Oh, did I forget to tell you, I signed us up for a bird-watching tour of the wetlands. Ha. Ha.
Tell us! What lines do you use to get out of sex? Or when you want to get it on?

We're experiencing some of the same "attachment" now that Krista's new book is out. Several minutes of this morning's staff meeting was dedicated to some impromptu analysis of the Einstein's God ranking on Amazon.
The short: the book seems to be doing well, but the ranking system is a mystery in itself.

Publisher Synopsis
"This Companion represents a move away from the more traditionally conceived broad surveys of contemporary art available to date, and is refreshing in its innovative approach to this complex subject ... essential reading for students and scholars of contemporary art history, visual culture, and visual theory, and general readers just wishing to develop their understanding of this complex subject." Reference Reviews "Provocative, wide-ranging, and impressively inclusive...a welcome and important addition for the understanding of the art of our historical present and a boon companion for the general reader, the artist, the student, the art historian and the critic alike." Abigail Solomon-Godeau, University of California, Santa Barbara "By keeping its finger on the pulse of the present, while commenting on the recent past, this book reminds us why contemporary art, and contemporary art history, matters."

FORTUNE -- Chet Kanojia's controversial startup Aereo has been described a number of ways: disruptive, innovative, and possibly illegal. But for Kanojia, CEO, what he and his New York City-based team are doing is perfectly legitimate.
"Consumers have already paid for this," Kanojia told Fortune onstage at this year's Brainstorm Tech conference. What Aereo's 2,000 users in New York, Boston, and Atlanta are paying $8-plus a month for is the technology to pick up, stream, and record network television programming over the Internet. What they're not paying for is the content itself. "People don't want channels anymore -- they want shows," argues Kanojia. And Aereo enables this new consumer behavior.
MORE: eBay CEO: We 'can't afford' to buy Airbnb
It's a model that appeals to Aereo's early users and backers that include IAC (IACI) CEO Barry Diller and SV Angel. But because the company relies on antennas and therefore doesn't have to pay the retransmission fees distributors must pay broadcasters like Fox and PBS, many of those same broadcasters argue the startup's actions amount to copyright infringement. So far, the Court of Appeals disagrees and as recently as last week, sided with Aereo.
For Kanojia, that means full-stream ahead. He wants to expand to 13-plus more cities in the coming weeks and a total of 22 within three months. Even longer-term, Kanojia predicted that one in four people could become subscribers within seven years. That's extremely ambitious for the nascent company, and even Kanojia admitted Aereo might not meet his short-term expansion plans. And with the law on his side -- at least so far -- Aereo remains confident. Said Kanojia: "Do consumers want the service? Absolutely."
Diller says his websites didn't miss the social media wave because not everyone has to ride it.

Barry Diller's sitting on some prime, if diverse, Internet real estate. His company, IAC/InterActiveCorp (IACI), owns Match.com, Ask.com, Citysearch, and about 50 other sites that seem like they could create the kind of digital sharefest communities that Facebook and Twitter have built.

Thanks ladies for the support, each month it doesn't happen I get more and more disappointed and upset about it. But other's have been trying much longer than me and still get a BFP in the end. CD 1 and 2 are the hardest for me. But trying to focus on the positive that we can try again if we decide to, right now there is no way I want to stop trying, but my emotions are all over the place when AF arrives, so we'll see in a few days. Just so wish it was easier to get pregnant!
Good luck to all! Looking forward to September now.
I have been thinking about you a lot lately, Winter, since we seem to keep being cycle buddies. I have been trying since April 2012 and I am very familiar with everything you're talking about. I am usually good, but on CD1 and 2, or even a few days before when I know AF is going to show, I am an inconsolable mess. It helps me a lot to see people on here getting BFP's and I am hoping so hard that we all get them. It's so hard to be disappointed over and over and over again.
AFM - I am usually really good about not testing (rather just get AF and get disappointed once) but I caved and tested yesterday (13DPO) with a BFN. AF is due in 2 days, so I am trying not to get hopeful... but it's hard! My chart looks really good this time, but I have gotten excited before and then crushed. I am cramping on and off with pretty mild intensity. I keep willing my temp to stay up in the morning and so far, so good, but I am very skeptical. We'll see what tomorrow brings...

Arkadelphia's TrustedWills.com went live this month.
(Irony, perhaps, anyone?)
Trusted Wills, you may remember, is the Ouachita Baptist startup that won the elevator pitch competition in the undergraduate level at the 2013 Arkansas Donald W. Reynolds Governor's Cup.
The idea for the startup was hatched by Arkadelphia lawyer Bryan McKinney and database systems and web programming guru Terry Sergeant. They brought on OBU senior-to-be Lindsey Fowler, who guided the startup through the collegiate business-plan circuit.
Lindsey and Trusted Wills won the OBU business-plan contest, the Battle of the Ravine competition against teams from Ouachita and cross-street rival Henderson State, and then sailed onto the Governor's Cup, where the startup was one of the undergrad finalists chosen from 47 total entries.
And, as noted, it won the undergrad pitch competition. As the name suggests, Trusted Wills offers online wills and powers of attorney for a fraction of the cost and much faster than those available through traditional means.
We expect to hear more good things from Lindsey and Trusted Wills in the future. (Lindsey, we should note, is a summer intern at Arkansas Business Publishing Group. AB is Innovate Arkansas' media partner.)
In the meantime, here's video from the 2013 Gov's Cup. Fowler pitches beginning at the 46:53 mark:

About Us
In 1969, Elijah "Touch" Touchton was discharged from the United States Air Force after serving for eight years, including one year in Vietnam. After being discharged, Touch, Doris and their daughter Janet moved to Pittsburg, Kansas. Touch's goal was to attend Pittsburg State University and to become an electrician. While attending classes, he also worked part-time for R.E. Emerson until graduation.
Touch started his own business, Touchton Electric Service, in 1972, doing residential and commercial wiring. A classmate, Floyd Crain, worked with Touch as an electrician. Another classmate, Phil Lane, became the office manager. When Phil retired, Wanda Nickle was the office manager for many years.
In the early years of the business, "Butch" Emerson was Touch's "coach". He was available at any time of day or night to answer questions or offer advice. He was a good friend and an important part of Touchton Electric becoming an established business.
ESA Members Look to Video, IT, IP and Mobile Devices for Growth
Survey reveals ESA member expectations for 2011-2012
Irving, Texas, January 25, 2011 - Members of the Electronic Security Association (ESA) are expecting IP-based security, alternative alarm signal transmission, the control and monitoring of security systems via mobile devices and the integration of security devices on IT networks/backbones to be among the leading growth categories over the next two years, according to ESA's Electronic Security Megatrends survey.
The results were announced last week at the ESA Leadership Summit during a panel discussion hosted by Merlin Guilbeau, ESA executive director, Joseph J. Nuccio, president/CEO of Alarm Security Group and Leadership Summit chairman, Alex Dunn, chief operating officer of APX Alarm, and David M. Koenig, partner of Capital Fire & Security. These results show that ESA members averaged a 1.7 percent increase in revenues during 2010, a sign that the industry is experiencing some positive growth.
"I participated on the panel because I thought it was important to present this information to the industry - especially at the ESA Leadership Summit where industry leaders are there to learn," said Nuccio. "The survey results prove that we have lots of opportunity in new areas and it's important that the security industry be aware, and take advantage of, these opportunities."
More than 66 percent of survey respondents expect the use of alternative alarm signal transmission to grow more than 10 percent over the next two years, followed by mobile device control at 49 percent and integration on IT/networks and IP-based security each at 46 percent.
Hosted/remote video monitoring and video surveillance for non-security applications followed at 41 and 34 percent, respectively.
Survey respondents listed video surveillance, electronic access control, fire detection and intrusion detection as the four product categories to see the most annual growth over the next two years.
"It is clear from the Megatrends study that the industry needs to look beyond just traditional security services. We understand that there is nothing more vulnerable than established entrenched success. Consumers want more. They want security combined with energy management services and the convenience of home automation-all in one," said Dunn. "It is great to work with an industry association like the ESA who understands these important trends.
The survey also reveals expansion strategies, vertical market involvement, operational investment trends and the top 12 vertical growth markets for integration and monitoring members of ESA.
"The Megatrends survey, and indeed the entire Leadership Summit, provided invaluable ideas and information that a smaller company cannot get except through involvement in their trade association. I can't begin to tell you how many times I saw somebody scribble a note to themselves about a nugget they just heard or an idea which hit them. I know I made a few notes as well," said Koenig.

Solar Innovations has been producing bananas in our greenhouses for three years. We have two banana trees currently producing fruit and decided we would like to experiment with additional varieties. Three banana species were purchased from Florida, which will remain smaller in statue and take up less space. A Supreme Dwarf, Pink Velvet, and an Ice Cream Banana.

By mixing fertilizer, insecticides, and additional drainage you can create your own potting soil. We are currently experimenting with the process here at Solar Innovations, Inc.
At least half of any homemade potting soil is homemade compost, but most commercial potting soils are based on some combination of peat moss, perlite and vermiculite — all of which contribute to land degradation and pollution as they are mined, processed, packaged and shipped.
Here is a great tutorial located online: http://www.motherearthnews.com/Organic-Gardening/How-To-Make-Your-Own-Potting-Soil.aspx

The chickens above are eating maggots that developed in our compost bin. Unfortunately, the wrong food (probably meat) found it's way into our compost, which resulted in the bugs being spawned. These maggots may be considered gross to humans but the chickens consider them a treat.

Iran inches forward: As Obama keeps talking
On Thursday it was reported that Iran has been trying to buy massive numbers of magnets used in enriching uranium for use in nuclear weapons. Doing so is a violation of United Nations sanctions. Iran sought the magnets anyway.
Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, whose nation Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad has openly advocated destroying, said last year that Iran probably would have the capability to make a nuclear weapon by this spring or summer. The question was whether the economic sanctions would collapse the regime before then. That does not seem likely. So, now what?
President Obama has said that a nuclear-armed Iran is unacceptable. He has kept saying that as Iran's murderous dictator has inched ever closer to getting his blood-stained hands on a nuclear weapon. As Obama talks, Ahmadinejad acts. No one wants a new war. But the question must be asked: How much longer can this go on?

GreatSchools Rating
Teacher quality
Principal leadership
Parent involvement
One of the worst schools in the district. The principal and assistants are all unprofessional, students are always noisy, rude and not there to study. I placed my daughter after reading the early college program, it's a joke as only 1/2 students attend columbus state so it's a early college for name. Teaches don't teach and adminstration doesn't do anything. Never send your kid or let someone else send there kid here
I found this to be a good school. If you are not open to an African-centered perspective. Students still learn the from the core curriculum of the Columbus City School district, just from an Africentric perspective where students see themselves in what they are learning. They can apply what they are learning to everyday situations. The outcome is remarkable in the area of self-concept, self-esteem, and racial identity development. The students prepare for college and by the time they graduate, they can have their high school diploma and associate degree. The guiding principles of Nguzo Saba and Maat is a great base to teach from. Parents should be willing to participate in the school's activities and their child's education, if not, then that is sad.
sorry to say I would not recomment this school to anyone a good school starts with good leadership and 2 weeks my d aughter begged my to take her out and after I three week I did and took her back to her school of 1st choice when the school year started back what they were teach was 4th grade level and she was in the 6th grade at the end of the day it is n ot just about being with your race its being where the better place is for your child my faimlly members have also taken there kids out
This school lacks discipline. If your child is eager to learn this environment is very distracting. The principle will let the kids do almost anything and get away with it. Children like to push limits and if there is no limit there is only chaos.
I have three boys who have attended from elementary. I think the academic program that our school offers is a God given opportunity for those students who are willing to work for the grade. Africentric is a partnership between teachers/administrators and Student /parents. The greater that door of communication, the better the success plan for that student. Our school is village oriented and teachers must desire to be apart of that culture in order to push students to succeed.
Wonderful school, it allows student in high school to earn their Associate of Arts or Associate of Science transfer degree from Columbus State Community College, upon completion of the program.
I have 6 children at Africentric ( Ist, 3rd, 4th, 2 in 10th and an 11th grader). All of my children are boys. Africentric has helped them grow and open a wide door of opporutunity to have some sort of success in the world. We are pleased with the program and happy to have our children there.
I think that it is a beneficial school for anyone who will work for it. People say it continues to be the students or the teachers that is the problem when it is really both the students and teachers. This is a school for people who want to work so if a teacher or a student dose not want to work they should not go there. Furthermore the program is very good. It is just not for everyone. :)
my kids have been in the school, although I have had some issues with some teachers for the most part I like the school. Where else can a urban student get the opportunity to graduate with their Associate's Degree and high school diploma. Yes the school is a little harder than most because you have to maintain a 3.0 (at least a 2.5) or better in order to stay in the Early College Program. My son is a junior and he has been a the school since the 6th grade and he is doing very well in the program. They concentrate on academics as well as sports. Yes, they do go all year round (6-12th grades). I think that keeps their brain on task and they don't forget as much as they would in the summer. It will be one of the top schools in the coming years.
This is a great example of schools which feed directly the needs of the communities they are located in.
Disappointed with the quality of instruction. Students are constantly disruptive and teachers seem to have very little control over the classrooms.
The discipline in this school is lacking. I believe that the kids are disrespectful to the teachers and teachers feel helpless to do anything about it. the teachers try hard and are very dedicated. Something needs to be done about the behavior of the kids.
Africentric will be the top school of the future, under new administration quality will soar. While currently in transition will be an excellent choice for students wanting to receive college credits during high school years. A great benefit to urban family unable to afford out of pocket college fees.
