BOWLING GREEN, Ky (6/13/13) -- When Perry Swack was a sophomore in high school, he felt the need to start a church basketball league. He said that there was a church softball league, but not basketball and he felt that was a need that needed to be reached as a lot of kids enjoy basketball. That year, the winter of 2007, Swack began the Church Basketball Association.
This league consists of churches of multiple denominations across the Bowling Green and Warren County area having teams from their youth group to play one another.
From 2008-2011, the league was played at the recreation center of First Baptist Church. However, after the 2011 season, First Baptist expanded their programs so that the recreation center would be used more often and the league would not be able to continue there. Swack had to begin working to find a new location.
"God opened a door at Forest Park Baptist Church," Swack said.
As the league was played at Forest Park, Swack decided to have a camp that would be a way of giving back to the community and getting more people involved. Every summer, he has been having a Church Basketball Association camp.
He noticed that Dishman-McGinnis Elementary School was across the street from Forest Park. He and another leader of the Assocation, Derek Logsdon, visited the school and when they arrived at the playground, they found a small area with one basketball goal that was shabby. They traveled to the back of the building and found a huge concrete slab with several basketball goals.
"It was like the promised land," Swack said.
After talking with the school, Swack was able to begin having the camp there. Through sponsorship, $1,800 was raised last year for the camp in order to use for t-shirts for the children that attend, as well as snacks and various other things for the camp.
The camp is currently going on. It began on June 10 and continues through June 14. Over $2,000 has been raised through sponsorship this year and is still coming in. Swack hopes to use extra money to give back to the community. The camp has more kids than every before, at a little under 100. There have been between 40-50 staffers help this year.
Next month, Swack is planning to work with several of the staffers to go visit the homes where children have come from and have follow up time with them after the camp to see how they are doing and how they can be helped.
Now a senior at Western Kentucky University, Swack will be passing leadership of the camp and association off to someone else after graduation in May. He is going to theological seminary to train for the ministry. It is still undetermined which seminary.
He said he is still in prayer of who to pass it off to. He also said that he would love to come back to Bowling Green during camp week, even while in seminary to help with the camp.
"Part of good leadership is leaving things better than they were when you came and finding adequate leadership to take your place when you are gone," Swack said.
He said that Dishman-McGinnis is closing its school because they are breaking ground on a new location, but the camp is still going to be able to be held at the old school because it is in a community of need.

I came to the Day 15 years ago with no knowledge whatsoever of the local music scene. From the word go, the two names I heard over and over were the Reducers and Karl Kelly. It didn't take long to figure out why.
Karl was a professional in every sense, whether recording his own material, playing a school prom or headlining a festival. He was a magnificent singer and front man who lived for music and the joy it brought.
Musicians like that are of a rare tribe who exult in song, brother- and sisterhood, and the love of people for their best possibilities.

Hundreds of people paid their respects this week to civil rights leader Evelyn Lowery on Monday. The wife of Rev. Dr. Joseph Lowery died last week after suffering a stroke, and a public viewing began for Mrs. Lowery on Monday morning.Mrs. Lowery suffered a stroke earlier this month, and she passed away last week. She was 88 years old. Lowery was the founder of SCLC/Women, Inc. the sister organization to the historic civil rights organization, the Southern Christian Leadership Conference, and the creator of the annual Drum Major of Justice Awards that is held annually in April in Atlanta, GA.While Lowery was best known for her civil and voting rights efforts, many said she opened doors for women."A lot of times in a movement, men are in charge and Mrs. Lowery clearly understood there was a role for women and she set out to make that happen," said former SCLS board member Brenda Davenport.A public viewing was held at Cascade United Methodist Church on Cascade Road in Atlanta from 11 a.m. to 9 p.m. Then, on Wednesday, October 2, a home-going celebration will be held for Mrs. Lowery.

This July and August our First Class passengers who board their flight in Germany will be able to find out what the creations of one Claus-Peter Lumpp taste like.
The culinary style of top chef Claus-Peter Lumpp, holder of three Michelin stars, is so unique that not even he can describe it. His priority is to spoil our First Class passengers on board with fine food in just the same way as he does the guests at his Bareiss Restaurant in the Black Forest. And they are never disappointed because he does this with great dedication.
Wonderful meals are also part of the joy of living for this three-star chef. The recipes for our passengers have been carefully and completely adapted to the special conditions found in our aircraft at altitude — without the richness of the aromas and the excellent quality of his dishes suffering.
Claus-Peter Lumpp was assisted in the creation of his First Class flight menus by the promising and talented chef Christina Merz, who works as a junior sous chef in the Lufthansa Training & Conference Centre in Seeheim. For this, Christina travelled to the Bareiss in Baiersbronn, where she was able to watch Claus-Peter and his team of chefs at work.
A recipe from our current top chef, Claus-Peter Lumpp
In July and August, First Class passengers flying from Germany will experience the unique menus of chef Claus-Peter Lumpp, holder of 3 Michelin stars. This top chef never disappoints his guests and is therefore one of the greatest chefs in the gourmet world.

Read: Brad Richards Isn't Optimistic About Mediation and Is Scared For The Game
According to a tweet from Katie Strang, Brad Richards said that he isn't very optimistic about mediation and he said that right now he is "scared for the game.
Pat Leonard tweets Richards saying that he doesn't see what a mediator will do if the NHL sticks to its word of their previous offer being their last offer.
The full quote, via Leonard, is "Players are very together, all asking real questions, all want to know where it's going. We're scared for the game."
#CBA Richards questioned NHL's bargaining position, said league's "concessions" are "biggest crock I've ever heard."—

Thousands of police officers throughout Southern California and Nevada hunted Thursday for a former Los Angeles officer who was angry over his firing and began a deadly shooting rampage that he warned in an online posting would target those on the force who wronged him, authorities said.
Authorities issued a statewide "officer safety warning" and police were sent to protect people named in the posting that was believed to be written by the fired officer, Christopher Dorner, who has military training. Among those mentioned were members of the Los Angeles Police Department.

"I will bring unconventional and asymmetrical warfare to those in LAPD uniform whether on or off duty," said the manifesto.
Dorner has available multiple weapons including an assault rifle, said police Chief Charlie Beck.
More than 40 protection details were assigned to possible targets of Dorner. The manhunt was possibly the largest in department history, Beck said.
The search for Dorner, who was fired from the LAPD in 2008 for making false statements, began after he was linked to a weekend killing in which one of the victims was the daughter of a former police captain who had represented him during the disciplinary hearing. Authorities believe Dorner opened fire early Thursday on police in cities east of Los Angeles, killing an officer and wounding another.
Police said Dorner, 33, implicated himself in the killings with the multi-page "manifesto."
In a Facebook post, Dorner said he knew he would be vilified by the LAPD and the news media, but that "unfortunately, this is a necessary evil that I do not enjoy but must partake and complete for substantial change to occur within the LAPD and reclaim my name."
As police searched for him, the packed Los Angeles area was on edge. The nearly 10,000-member LAPD dispatched many of its officers to protect potential targets. The department also pulled officers from motorcycle duty, fearing they would make for easy targets.
Nevada authorities also looked for Dorner because he owns a house nine miles from the Las Vegas Strip, according to authorities and court records.
Authorities said the U.S. Navy reservist may be driving a blue 2005 Nissan Titan pickup truck.
Los Angeles officers guarding a "target" named in the posting shot and wounded multiple people in Torrance who were in a pickup but were not involved, authorities said. The extent of their injuries was not released. It's not clear if the target is a person or a location.
News media crews in Torrance also reports that there was another police shooting nearby involving another pickup truck, but the driver wasn't hurt.
"We're asking our officers to be extraordinarily cautious just as we're asking the public to be extraordinarily cautious with this guy. He's already demonstrated he has a propensity for shooting innocent people," said LAPD Cmdr. Andrew Smith.
Dorner is wanted in the killings of Monica Quan and her fiance, Keith Lawrence. They were found shot in their car at a parking structure at their condominium on Sunday night in Irvine, authorities said.
Quan, 28, was an assistant women's basketball coach at Cal State Fullerton. Lawrence, 27, was a public safety officer at the University of Southern California. There was disbelief at three college campuses, Fullerton, USC, and Concordia University, where the two met when they were both students and basketball players.
Dorner was with the department from 2005 until 2008, when he was fired for making false statements.
Quan's father, a former LAPD captain who became a lawyer in retirement, represented Dorner in front of the Board of Rights, a tribunal that ruled against Dorner at the time of his dismissal, LAPD Capt. William Hayes told the news media Wednesday night.
Randal Quan retired in 2002. He later served as chief of police at Cal Poly Pomona before he started practicing law.
According to documents from a court of appeals hearing in October 2011, Dorner was fired from the LAPD after he made a complaint against his field training officer, Sgt. Teresa Evans. Dorner said that in the course of an arrest, Evans kicked suspect Christopher Gettler, a schizophrenic with severe dementia.
Richard Gettler, the schizophrenic man's father, gave testimony that supported Dorner's claim. After his son was returned on July 28, 2007, Richard Gettler asked "if he had been in a fight because his face was puffy" and his son responded that he was kicked twice in the chest by a police officer.
Early Thursday, the first shooting occurred in Corona and involved two LAPD officers working a security detail, LAPD Sgt. Alex Baez. One officer was grazed.
Later, two officers on routine patrol in neighboring Riverside were ambushed at a stop light, said Riverside Lt. Guy Toussaint. One died and the other was in surgery. The officers shot were not actively looking for Dorner, Toussaint said.
Dorner's LAPD badge and an ID were found near San Diego's airport and were turned in to police at early Thursday, San Diego police Sgt. Ray Battrick said.
The California Highway Patrol issued a "Blue Alert" to law enforcement:*THE SUSPECT IS CONSIDERED ARMED AND EXTREMELY DANGEROUS*A BLUE ALERT HAS BEEN ACTIVATED IN THE FOLLOWING COUNTIES: KERN, SANTA BARBARA, VENTURA, LOS ANGELES, SAN BERNARDINO, ORANGE, RIVERSIDE, SAN DIEGO, AND IMPERIAL.ON FEBRUARY 7, 2013, AT APPROXIMATELY 0122 HOURS, THE SUSPECT WAS INVOLVED IN MULTIPLE SHOOTINGS WITH MULTIPLE AGENCIES IN THE RIVERSIDE CHP AREA. THE SUSPECT IS CHRISTOPHER JORDAN DORNER, A 33 YEAR OLD, BLACK MALE, 6 FEET TALL, 270 POUNDS, WITH BLACK HAIR, BROWN EYES, WITH AN UNKNOWN CLOTHING DESCRIPTION.
THE SUSPECT WAS LAST SEEN DRIVING A 2005 BLUE OR GRAY NISSAN TITAN, WITH A CA LICENSE PLATE OF 8D83987 or 7X09131 - THE SUSPECT MAY BE SWTICHING BETWEEN THE TWO LICENSE PLATES.
STATEMENT by Chief Dave Maggard
Good Evening:
My name is Dave Maggard, Police Chief of the City of Irvine.
As you know, on Sunday, February 3rd, two victims were shot and killed while sitting in their vehicle at 2100 Scholarship in Irvine. On behalf of our community, I send my condolences to the families of the victims, Keith Lawrence and Monica Quan.
We have identified a suspect in the slaying of those two young people.
I can provide some information to you now, but in the effort to maintain the integrity of the investigation, I cannot answer any questions tonight.
Irvine detectives have been working day and night since the tragedy; today, we have identified Christopher Jordan Dorner as the suspect in this double homicide. Dorner is a former LAPD officer and a reservist for the U.S. Navy.
Of particular interest at this point in the investigation is a multi-page manifesto in which the suspect has implicated himself in the slayings.
We are not making the manifesto publically available at this point as the investigation is ongoing.
Dorner's whereabouts are currently unknown to law enforcement and we are asking for the public's help in finding him.
We believe Dorner is armed and dangerous.
We are getting support from many law enforcement partners, including LAPD, FBI and U.S. Marshals.
Dorner's last known address is 4931 Sharon Drive in La Palma. He is described as 6 feet tall, 270 pounds, with black hair and brown eyes. We are looking for a vehicle we believe is being driven by him: a blue 2005 Nissan Titan pickup with California license plate 7X03191.
If you see Dorner, call 9-1-1 immediately. If you have information to his whereabouts, we ask you to call our tip line: (949) 724-7192. To email: email@example.com.
Thank you for being here; we will update you as further information is available.
Autopsies on the bodies of Keith Lawrence and his 28-year-old fiance, Monica Quan, were completed Tuesday and today, respectively, said Jim Amormino of the Orange County Sheriff's Department.
"The coroner determined that both died of multiple gunshot wounds," Amormino said. "No further information will be released at this time."
Police who received a call at 9:10 p.m. Sunday about a person slumped over in a parked car at 2100 Scholarship found the recently engaged couple dead in Lawrence's Kia, which was parked at the top of the five-story structure for the building where they lived.
Irvine police Lt. Julia Engen said there's no evidence they were being robbed, and noted that the high-density residential community is highly secure with key card access only.
Irvine had two slayings in both 2011 and 2012, according to Engen, who said overall violent crime is at "historic lows" in the city.
Quan was an assistant coach for the Cal State Fullerton women's basketball team after holding a similar position at California Lutheran University in Thousand Oaks.
The couple met while at Concordia University in Irvine, where they both played basketball. Lawrence was seeking a career in law enforcement, which made him a good match for Quan, whose father was an officer with the Los Angeles Police Department, friends said.
Lawrence, who graduated from the Ventura County Sheriff's Academy, was working as a patrol officer at USC's Department of Public Safety. He joined the department in August, said Carl Marziali, USC's assistant vice president of media relations.
Quan was in her second season working under Coach Marcia Foster. A star athlete at Walnut High School, Quan played at Cal State Long Beach from 2003-05 before transferring to Concordia University, where she graduated in 2007 with a degree in exercise and sports science. In 2009, she earned a master's degree.

Electronic Ignition
Hello to all
Any information as to pros & cons on the electronic ignition for the Cubs?
Thinking about installing this to get the extra power for the hills on the farm. Does this actually add an additionl 8 to 15% power?
Seems easy enough to install but as always research,research,research!!!!!
Re: Electronic Ignition
Yes it does increase hp. My loboy starts easier and runs much smoother than before. I will be installing another one on my 71 model soon.
I got mine from Brillman in Virginia for around 80 bucks. Good investment.
"I ain't believing this!"
Re: Electronic Ignition
Electronic ignition has been discussed several times on this board. Search function.
If you install an electronic ignition, save all of your points ignition parts. You will need them, when/if, the electronic ignition fails.
I have an excuse. CRS.
Re: Electronic Ignition
Sounds good. The one I was looking at is $112.00
Re: Electronic Ignition
Just remember to re-gapp the plugs to .035 for best performance. You should not expect quite that much power gain, 3 to 5 would be more realistic. But they run and start better. Bill. wlm cub
Re: Electronic Ignition
$112 Vs. >$20 OEM? what am I missing?
Tractors are made to work!
"A Cub will do as much as a team of horses,.. More in hot weather!" - C. W. Spradlin 1909-1994
Re: Electronic Ignition
Assuming that Bill's 3% to 5% gain is correct. For easy math let's assume 10 hp on the draw bar with an engine in excellent condition.
10 X .03 = 3/10th hp increase at the engine, bit less on the draw bar. 10 x .05 = 1/2 hp increase at the engine, bit less on the draw bar. A full tune up will increase engine performance.
If it's horse power and not torque you want, increase the engine's RPMs and get a bit more horse power.
I have an excuse. CRS.
Re: Electronic Ignition
Really , didn't read that in the instructions (or missed it), but makes perfect sense. I'll have to regap the plugs on both my E/I Cubs. Thanks for the heads up
Re: Electronic Ignition
I have them in all 3 of my cubs and love it. No worry about points burning or slipping out of adjustment a bit at a time until one day I have no power or it won't start at all. Starts faster, runs smooth and with my rebuilt engines using late model parts I could tell the difference in power.
I'd highly recommend them to everyone.
Do a little more digging for better prices, the last set I got for around $80 at www.carshopinc.com

Re: Electronic Ignition
Yes, shop around for a good deal, I see the price on these all over the place. I've bought several from Carshop, that's a pretty good source. On the dyno, we saw 10% improvement in both horsepower & torque, on a 184, your results may vary. I've installed several of these on Cubs and all are working very well. In the Pertronix instructions, they say you "can" increase the plug gap to .035". We didn't do that for the dyno test, we should have re-gapped the plugs & made a third pull. I don't know how much difference that will make but I suspect it will not be much. At any rate, when new plugs are installed or you remove the plugs for any reason, you might as well open the gap up.
Re: Electronic Ignition
I suspect that IH specified .0.025 as the plug gap because of the magnetos. The 0.025 gap is easier for the low voltage spark at cranking for the magneto and stresses the magneto coil insulation less at all speeds. A magneto produces greater spark voltage as speed increases. Battery ignition produces greatest spark voltage at slow speeds. IH used lots of Delco electrics on the tractors. Chevrolets of the Cub era also used Delco and a spark plug gap of 0.035. My 12 volt conversions and the one electronic ignition conversion are run with 0.035 plug gaps.
For battery ignitions using components similar to the Cubs, wider gaps give better performance at a low speeds and smaller gaps perform better at high speed. But high speed is well beyond 4000 RPM. Cubs at full speed are really not much more than fast idle.
I cannot discern any performance difference on the 140 with electronic conversion and a well-done points tuneup. But points do deteriorate with wear and corrosion and require attention eventually.
Luck favors those who are prepared
Re: Electronic Ignition
Ignition timing retards as the point gap decreases. Electronic ignition eliminates both sources of power loss while providing consistant spark voltage regardless of engine rpm.

Re: Electronic Ignition
They are available in 6v and 12v. My 6v '53 cub has the Pertronix and it runs great. I have a '69 cub that I switched over to 12v alternator charging system with the 12v pertronix and some how crossed a wire while changing out a battery. Some how it fried the pertronix. That was an $80 oops. I'd say you have to use a little more caution with them when changing out electrical components. Otherwise, it's a great conversion.
Re: Electronic Ignition
True (in varying degrees) of nearly all components with solid state parts. The same oops could have easily included a one-wire alternator.

My husband's New Year's resolution last year was "to try yoga at least once." Although I mocked him relentlessly for such a modest goal, he is the only person I can think of who actually followed through on his resolution. (By the way, he went to a yoga class exactly one time in 2013, and in November at that.)
My own resolution was to get back into running regularly. I'm afraid I went jogging only a handful of times more than my husband did yoga – nowhere near the four times a week I'd promised myself.
According to a University of Scranton poll taken last year, only 8 percent of Americans who made New Year's resolutions were able to keep them. At least I'm not alone.
I am rehashing the same resolution for 2014, so I've done some research to see what I can do for better results. Here's what I've got planned:
1) Be Realistic: According to John Norcross, professor of psychology at the University of Scranton, many of us "confuse fantasy with reality. Resolutions are supposed to be specific and realistic and measurable." With a full-time job and two kids, I can barely manage to shower four times a week, so perhaps aiming to run that many times wasn't reasonable. This year, for starters, I'm toning it down to – at least – two runs a week. I can do that!
2) Break it Down:It's all about the schedule for me this year. I pledge to run twice a week during the month of January. If it's too hard, I can revise my goal for February. However, if I stay on target, I just might crank things up to three times a week. And that would lead to more…
3) Reward Yourself: It's almost embarrassing to admit how much the promise of a new handbag or mini-shopping spree can motivate me. Every month I plan to select some sort of carrot to get me out the door. For January, it's these Warby Parker sunglass. I'll have to select less expensive prizes for later months or I'll go broke by July, but I'll jump off that bridge when I get to it.
4) Lock it In: My chances of staying on course will improve I'm accountable to someone. Or something, as the case may be. The website StickKallows goal-seekers to set up a "commitment contract," obliging them either stick to a goal – or pay up. The amount and recipient of the payment are determined at signup. It can be a friend, family member, charity, or even anti-charity(that's for real motivation). And, it's legally binding. How's that for serious?
Have you made a New Year's resolution? If so, do you think you can keep it? Tell us in the comments or in a blog post.

1980 Crompond Road, Cortlandt Manor, NY 10567
Cortlandt Manor, NY - (August 21, 2012) – Hudson Valley Hospital Center has received a $10,000 grant from MBIA Inc. to purchase and customize software designed to identify the needs of cancer patients and resources to help them.
"We are extremely grateful to MBIA for making this program available at our Cheryl R. Lindenbaum Cancer Center,'' said John C. Federspiel, President of Hudson Valley Hospital Center. " Our goal is to better serve our patients and ensure that they have the support and resources they need to get through the stress and anxiety of a cancer diagnosis.''
With the funds from the Armonk-based insurance company the Hospital plans to purchase software, Polaris Distress Management System, developed and tested at the University of Massachusetts Medical Center. The software is a self-administered survey for patients to help determine their medical, financial and psychological stressors or needs and aims to match them with resources in the community that can assist them.
"We are pleased to support Hudson Valley Hospital Center's efforts to provide patients with comprehensive cancer treatment and care," said Willard Hill, Jr., Managing Director at MBIA and President of the MBIA Foundation. "With half of all men and one-third of all women in the U.S. expected to develop cancer during their lifetime, this disease affects not only individuals, but families – and ultimately the community as a whole. With this in mind, funding Polaris furthers the MBIA Foundation's mission of supporting programs that enhance the quality of life in the communities where we operate and where our employees live and work."
Anne Campbell-Maxwell, Director of Oncology at the Cheryl R. Lindenbaum Cancer Center, said patients can complete the survey in either English or Spanish, on-line or at the cancer center. The results are then sent to the patient and to their physicians and monitored throughout their treatment.
"A cancer diagnosis is one of the most stressful events in a patient's life,'' said Campbell-Maxwell. "This software application gives us the ability to measure and track their level of distress, whether it involves pain, drug reactions, financial or family issues and make sure that we are helping them on every level.''
The Cheryl R. Lindenbaum Comprehensive Cancer Center opened in November of 2011. It offers patients a comprehensive approach to treating cancer. The center's team of physicians and medical professionals work together to design a treatment plan that coordinates all services so patients can receive treatment in one place close to home, eliminating travel time and reducing stress. The center offers radiation, infusion and support services including a patient navigator, nutrition counseling, acupuncture and music therapy in a new state-of-the-art facility equipped with the latest technology and designed with comfort in mind.
A $5 million capital campaign to offset the cost of construction is ongoing. To donate to the cancer center, call the Foundation at Hudson Valley Hospital Center at 914-734-3526 or donate on line at www.hvhc.org under support us.

Dün gece, Sdot en Delridge Greenways açık ev için Youngstown toplanan yaklaşık otuz Delridge ve Batı Seattle komşular. Sdot iyi hazırlanmış – tablolar çalışma alanının büyük haritaları ile odanın etrafında kuruldu, Böyle kaza oranları ve yerleri gibi çeşitli bilgileri gösteren, ölçülen araç hızları ve hacimleri, existing bike and pedestrian improvements, and locations of improvement projects currently underway.
The gathering started with a forty minute presentation from SDOT's John Vander Sluis emphasizing the core motivation of greenway improvements: safety. This is an often-misunderstood piece of greenways advocacy: it's not just about cyclists, or about pedestrians. It's about safety for all road users, primarily through lowering vehicle speeds and volumes on non-arterial streets. Greenways are about changing streets for drivers to streets for everyone. Further, it's also about creating a well-connected network of these safe streets throughout our city, so that all residents can reach schools, parklar, work-places, and favorite businesses more efficiently and more safely.
This meeting was primarily about gathering neighbors' feedback. Vander Sluis presented the facts — transportation statistics in our neighborhood, the greenway/bike boulevard approach that Portland has developed over the years, the greenway safety tools available to SDOT, realistic funding and timelines — and asked us as neighbors to share our concerns and ideas for our own neighborhood. The presentation complete, we were free to ask questions, offer feedback, and chat one-on-one with SDOT planners. They provided pens and stickers for us to write and draw directly on the maps scattered throughout the room to indicate places of concern.
I wasn't able to be part of every conversation, but here are a few highlights that I saw and heard
- Several neighbors were present who live on 26th avenue. There was a particular concern raised about the lack of sidewalks on 26th south of Brandon. The SDOT reps noted the expense of sidewalks, and that greenway projects do not include enough funding for large amounts of new sidewalk. It is possible to address some of these concerns through Bridging the Gap funding: for example, sidewalks are currently being built at 25th avenue near Brandon, funded by a city grant written by neighbors.
- Several neighbors brought up concerns over the safety of the unsignalized crossing at 26th and Brandon, especially the speed of drivers traveling east and west. The SDOT representatives noted that this concern will likely be addressed through a redesign of this intersection.
- The intersection of 26th and Genesee was also discussed at length. The heavy east-west traffic, lack of crosswalk, and poor sight-lines make this very unfriendly to people on foot, especially children and those with limited mobility. The SDOT representatives mentioned the possibility of adding cross-walks and "cross-rides" — bicycle equivalents of crosswalks — to address these concerns. Neighbors suggested that a two-way stop on Genesee would increase safety.
- Neighbors brought up the problem of morning cut-through traffic on 25th and 26th between Genesee and Avalon. Drivers often use these roads to avoid the signal at Genesee and Delridge, and as a result these quiet streets often can feel more like arterials. Neighbors suggested traffic diverters which would limit north-bound vehicle access to these streets, while still allowing bicycle, pedestrian, and emergency vehicle traffic.
- Several neighbors wondered if 26th ave is the best place to focus limited funding. Several people noted the much higher current bike traffic on 21st through Puget ridge. The 21st greenway was recommended for study beginning next year (only two months away!) so SDOT will be able to address these concerns in the near future. Ayrıca, several neighbors noted that Andover is commonly used by bicyclists going between Delridge and Avalon, and that improvements here would likely benefit a greater number of cyclists than improvements on 26th.
- The connection along Andover and Delridge to the West Seattle Bridge trail was of great concern to many present. SDOT is currently pursuing a grant to extend the West Seattle Bridge shared-use path along the east side of Delridge down to the Andover signal. Given this potential improvement, only a short block of Andover st. remains without family-friendly bike/ped connections to 26th. Some neighbors suggested a multi-use path along the north shoulder of Andover. The SDOT planners will think about how this sort of improvement could fit into the project.
- On the south end of 26th Ave, there is the potential for building a short bike/ped connection along public land to 24th Ave, which would connect via the longfellow creek trail to the new bicycle infrastructure at Delridge and Myrtle. Though this is off the table for the current iteration of the project, it is a direction we will continue to advocate in the future.
I know I missed some of the discussion that took place: if there's anything you'd like to add, please use the comments below!
I came away from the meeting very encouraged: it's great to see so many members of our community come together to build a shared vision for our streets, and it's great to have the city give us the opportunity to influence how transportation dollars are spent. SDOT will come back to present their recommendations on January 15th, and after a second round of community input, begin implementing the changes during the spring and summer of 2013. For more information on city-wide greenways advocacy in Seattle, see Seattle Mahalle Greenways.
Stay tuned, and thanks to everyone who came and shared their ideas last night.

SALEM, Mass. — Prosecutors in Essex County, north of Boston, are preparing for parole hearings for nine convicted killers whose life sentences without parole were wiped away by the state's highest court on Tuesday.
The nine, who were all teenagers under the age of 18 at the time of the murders, were made eligible for parole in the Supreme Judicial Court's decision. Two others, convicted since 2007, will also someday get a chance at parole.
Now, decades after families of victims were reassured that their loved ones' killers would never see the outside of a prison, District Attorney Jonathan Blodgett's office is facing the prospect of tracking down those relatives to give them the news.
"Massachusetts prides itself on being enlightened on victims' rights," a clearly frustrated Blodgett said yesterday. "And yet this decision comes out on Christmas Eve day? That's a pretty tough, bitter pill to swallow for victims' families who thought that these cases had been put to rest."
Going forward, the decision also affects sentencing options for Philip Chism, the 14-year-old Danvers boy charged with the murder of teacher Colleen Ritzer, 24, in a case that made national headlines in October.
Chism is accused of attacking and robbing Ritzer in a second-floor bathroom at Danvers High on the afternoon of Oct. 22, then wheeling her in a recycling bin to a wooded area nearby, where he raped her and left her partly naked under a pile of leaves and debris, according to court papers. Police found a note next to her body that read, "I hate you all."
Chism pleaded not guilty earlier this month and is awaiting trial.
The court's ruling last week in the case of Gregory Diatchenko, who was 17 when he stabbed a man as he sat in a car in Boston's Kenmore Square in 1981, held that sentences of life without parole failed to take into account a young defendant's likelihood of being rehabilitated.

Submitted by Marilynn Nash
I just came back from an action-packed outdoor weekend. Can you believe it -- I skijored!
Wearing a helmet and harness, sled dogs pulled me around a track. I concentrated as best I could on proper form, desperately hoping to remain upright.
Later I was told that my dogs were faster than many of the other teams and that I looked good. So I didnt feel too bad that I fell down when I tried to stop at the end of the lap. At least I didnt run into the hind legs of the dogs.
I did this at an event called BOW in the SNOW. I think this is the fifth event Ive attended at Becoming an Outdoors-Woman (BOW). My first event was in 2007.
BOW programs include training and experience for women in a large variety of outdoor activities: canoeing, kayaking, hunting, trapping, rock climbing, archery, rifle markswoman, camping, wildlife habitat, cross-country skiing, skijoring, dog sledding, snow shoeing, boat and trailer handling, fly fishing, snowmobiling, tracking, tree identification, sausage making, pine needle basket making, outdoor cooking, knife, tool, and chainsaw sharpening, and more.
BOW also conducts events such as guided fly fishing, caving excursions, sea kayak outings, horse packing trips, and pheasant, turkey, and deer hunts. In March BOW will bring a group to Baja for snorkeling with a colony of 400 wild sea lions, kayaking, hiking, and seeing gray whales.
BOW, founded in 1991, offers outdoor skills training through the University of Wisconsin-Stevens Point College of Natural Resources, in cooperation with the Wisconsin Department of Natural Resources and other sponsors.
More than 35 states and several Canadian provinces have BOW programs modeled after Wisconsin BOW.
Last weekend I experienced the event with participants from Illinois, Texas, Washington, Louisiana, South Carolina, Florida, and Wisconsin. I felt comfortable among women representing a variety of ages, backgrounds, and experience levels.
Coming soon Part II!

How can i check if there is an active internet connection before i download something.

How can i check if there is an active internet connection before i download something.
I am using Java ME and the Nokia SDK 2.0 for Java.
I see that you got some answers in: http://www.developer.nokia.com/Commu...ork-connection
As far as I know you don't have such an API until the latest Asha platform, i.e you would need to be targeting 501 and newer devices only.
I dont think that it should matter to you if a connection exists before you start download because the connection can be interuptted at any sec (going into an elevator, pressing the end key, etc)
so you should always think best case scenario and start to download and plan for worst case scenario and handle exception in connections request or stream reading properly.
add import javax.microedition.io.Connector;
Make a Function of below :
catch(IOException e)
call this function whenever you want to check for Internet Connection.
Hope This Serves your purpose
Hello guys,
I think this thread is the right place for asking and discuss about handling connection in J2ME, So my question is, How do i ping the server before i sending data then if i got reply i send the data, if not i'll keep ping until i got reply....?
Best Regards,
One easy way would be to make a HTTP GET in which you would not send sny data from either party.
Most probably that is any, one button shifted right on the keyboard (assuming an a-s-d-f... layout).
Last edited by wizard_hu_; 2013-06-27 at 10:44.
http://paste.org/65708. Somebody can help..??
Http codes 301 (and 302) means that the page has been moved and you are being redirected, these codes comes from the server which mean you DO have internet connection so when you check for your response code and compare it to HTTP_OK just add also the 301 and 302 codes (if its just for simple ping verification), the 405 response code means you had a server error trying use unsupported operation (in this case it would be using the POST instead of the GET)
What if you check this thread

The holidays are almost here, and with them the temptation to indulge. But you can still enjoy many of your favorite holiday foods and avoid the bulge.
Chef Michael Tomaseski, Culinary Arts teacher at Putnam/Northern Westchester BOCES and Rachel Harris, clinical nutrition manager for Hudson Valley Hospital Center's outpatient nutrition program have developed a holiday menu that reduces fat and calories, but not the taste.
Rachel Harris, RD, CNSD, CDN, Clinical Nutrition Manager at Hudson Valley Hospital Center, said substituting lower calorie, lower fat ingredients is a good way to enjoy foods without sacrificing taste. For example, instead of serving mashed potatoes filled with high-fat butter and cream or candied yams with sugar, consider making roasted sweet potatoes or smashed potatoes without the butter or sour cream.
Harris and Tomaseski prepared a healthy holiday feast on the most recent edition of Health Smart, Hudson Valley Hospital Center's public access cable show. The show will air in November on the following dates and times:
Yorktown Channel 74:
Monday, 11/22 at 6pm
Tuesday, 11/23 at 6pm

1 cup mint, fresh, chopped
1 lemon
Directions: Boil 4 cups water; season with bay leaves and salt. Add quinoa and return to a boil. Reduce heat, cover and simmer about 20 minutes, until quinoa absorbs water. Remove from heat; remove bay leaves and let cool. Meanwhile, heat 3 tbsp oil in a frying pan. Sauté zucchini and squash — season with salt and pepper — until slightly browned. Combine vegetables and quinoa. Drizzle on remaining 1 tbsp oil. Stir in onions, apricots, cranberries, parsley, and mint. Grate in lemon peel and squeeze on lemon juice to taste. Season with salt and pepper.
Makes 10 portions.
Roasted Sweet Potatoes (recipe source: Cook's Illustrated with modifications)
6 sweet potatoes
1/4 cup olive oil, good quality
1 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
3/4 teaspoon fresh ground black pepper
Directions: Wash sweet potatoes well, scrub lightly, trim ends, and do not peel. Cut lengthwise in half, and then in half again, so that each potato is quartered lengthwise.
Toss potatoes in large bowl with oil, salt, and pepper to taste until evenly coated. Line 18- by 13-inch heavy-duty rimmed baking sheet with aluminum foil and coat with nonstick cooking spray. Arrange potatoes in single layer on baking sheet and cover tightly with aluminum foil. Adjust oven rack to middle position and place potatoes in cold oven. Turn oven to 425 degrees and cook potatoes 30 minutes.
Remove baking sheet from oven and carefully remove top layer of foil. Return potatoes to oven and cook until golden brown, 15 to 25 minutes. Be sure that the potatoes are done by piercing them with a knife; the knife should go through without resistance. Let potatoes cool 5 to 10 minutes; transfer to platter and serve.
Makes 8 to 12 portions.
Good Eats Roast Turkey (recipe source: Alton Brown)
young turkey, thawed
1 cup kosher salt
1/2 cup light brown sugar
1 gallon vegetable stock
1 tablespoon black peppercorns
1 1/2 teaspoon allspice berries
1 1/2 teaspoon chopped candied ginger
1 gallon heavily iced water
1 red apple, sliced
1/2 onion, sliced
1 cinnamon stick
1 cup water
4 springs rosemary, fresh
6 leaves sage, fresh
canola oil as needed
2 to 3 days before roasting:
Begin thawing the turkey in the refrigerator or in a cooler kept at 38 degrees F. Combine the vegetable stock, salt, brown sugar, peppercorns, allspice berries, and candied ginger in a large stockpot over medium-high heat. Stir occasionally to dissolve solids and bring to a boil. Then remove the brine from the heat, cool to room temperature, and refrigerate.
Early on the day or the night before you'd like to eat:
Combine the brine, water and ice in the 5-gallon bucket. Place the thawed turkey (with innards removed) breast side down in brine. If necessary, weigh down the bird to ensure it is fully immersed, cover, and refrigerate or set in cool area for 8 to 16 hours, turning the bird once half way through brining. Preheat the oven to 500 degrees F. Remove the bird from brine and rinse inside and out with cold water. Discard the brine.
Place the bird on roasting rack inside a half sheet pan and pat dry with paper towels. Combine the apple, onion, cinnamon stick, and 1 cup of water in a microwave safe dish and microwave on high for 5 minutes. Add steeped aromatics to the turkey's cavity along with the rosemary and sage. Tuck the wings underneath the bird and coat the skin liberally with canola oil.
Roast the turkey on lowest level of the oven at 500 degrees F for 30 minutes. Insert a probe thermometer into thickest part of the breast and reduce the oven temperature to 350 degrees F. Set the thermometer alarm (if available) to 161 degrees F. A 14 to 16 pound bird should require a total of 2 to 2 1/2 hours of roasting. Let the turkey rest, loosely covered with foil or a large mixing bowl for 15 minutes before carving.
Makes 10-12 portions.
Winter Fruit and Nut Stuffing(recipe source: Rochelle Palermo Torres with modifications)
12 tablespoons butter
2 anjou pears, peeled, cored and cut into 1/2 cubes
1 tablespoon sugar
3/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon
4 cups onions, chopped fine
1 1/2 cups celery, chopped fine
1 1/2 cups sauternes, or other sweet wine
1 1/2 cups pitted prunes, chopped small
1 1/2 cupsdried apricots, chopped small
1 cup dried cranberries
2 tablespoons fresh rosemary
2 tablespoons fresh sage
1 cup pecans, toasted and chopped
12 cups cubed, crustless bread
Melt 2 tablespoons butter in large skillet over medium-high heat. Add pears; sprinkle with sugar. Sauté until pears are golden, about 5 minutes. Transfer to very large bowl; mix in cinnamon. Melt remaining 10 tablespoons butter in same skillet over medium heat. Add onions and celery; sauté until golden, about 15 minutes. Add wine and next 5 ingredients. Simmer until liquid is reduced almost to glaze and mixture is soft and moist, stirring occasionally, about 15 minutes. Mix into pears. (Can be made 1 day ahead. Cover and chill. Reheat to lukewarm before continuing.)
Mix bread and pecans into fruit mixture. Season stuffing with salt and pepper.
To bake stuffing in turkey: Loosely fill main cavity and neck cavity of turkey with stuffing. Generously butter baking dish. Spoon remaining stuffing into prepared dish. Cover dish with buttered foil, buttered side down. Bake stuffing in dish — alongside turkey or while turkey is resting — until heated through, about 25 minutes. Uncover stuffing in dish. Bake until top of stuffing is slightly crisp and golden, about 15 minutes longer. To bake stuffing in dish: Preheat oven to 350°F. Generously butter 13x9x2-inch glass baking dish. Transfer stuffing to prepared dish. Bake uncovered until heated through, about 35 minutes.
Makes 12 portions.

FRG is the most logical poster on this board. You guys just don\'t like where the logical conclusions take you.
We did a decent job of shutting down one of the best passing offense in football that has 2 pro bowl level receivers and the best TE to ever play the game. That with a set of corners that will mostly not be active next year. I think the scheme is okay, the corners just have to continue to turn and try to make a play on the ball. Our LBers getting better in coverage over the middle will help a significant amount. We all forget about that but David was excellent in pass defense towards the end of the year.
Atl was not into that game at all.
I don't count the last game against the Falcons, they were just looking forward to the playoffs.
Besides, I'm pretty sure the Bucs ran a variation of the Tampa 2 in that ATL game,
The line stunts and blitzes are ran all year just didn't work.. Partly by scheme and partly by players. We don't have pass rushers at LB and all the stinks and loops kill the quickness advantages of our down 4. I'd be scads happier to see Lovie Smith of Dave Wannestadt or Mike Zimmerman showing up ( obviously none of them will just using names and styles of play people know) for our personnel rather than what we've got.

7. Small Trolling Lures
When running and gunning for dolphin, keep at least two outfits rigged with small, blunt-headed trolling lures. The best color combinations are blue-and-white and green-and-orange. When you find birds working, pitch out the lures, throttle up to a fast trolling speed and head toward them. These lures mimic the size of flying fish, favorite dolphin forage, and withstand the rigors of faster trolling speeds better than natural baits.
When you reach your target or find another likely spot, such as a floating board or big weed patch, slow the boat to a reasonable trolling speed and make a few passes. If dolphin are around, they'll ambush these lures. Small lures fished this way have yielded many large dolphin for me. And of course, these lures are mainstays in catching school fish. I prefer to rig my lures with 6 feet of 110-pound-test fluorocarbon leader and a single 8/0 long-shank hook that's positioned with spacer beads to ride near the tail end of the lure skirt. I'll either crimp or tie a loop at the end of the leader and keep a half-dozen of these lures close at hand, if not already on an outfit or two.

WASHINGTON — At the 100th anniversary of Washington's Women's Suffrage Parade on Sunday, participants will march in the bold tradition of suffragette Inez Milholland — even if they, and most of America, have never heard of her. Of all the images and people invoked during this centennial celebration, perhaps the least remembered is the one woman said to have died for the cause.
Milholland, 27, sitting astride a white horse, in white, flowing, Joan of Arc robes is the most iconic image of that 1913 march. When she died three years later, she was hailed as a martyr of the women's suffrage movement. That she is barely remembered today is part of the challenge and frustration for those who advocate for greater attention to women's history and for those trying to build a national women's history museum on the Mall.
The march, sponsored by Delta Sigma Theta sorority and including the National Women's History Museum, the Sewall-Belmont House Museum and the National Organization for Women, retraces the original 5,000-person march down Pennsylvania Avenue. It will feature women in period costumes and focus broadly on women's equality.
But in 1913, it was all about the vote.
Milholland, raised in a wealthy Brooklyn family, was educated at Vassar and had a law degree from New York University. Her father was a writer for the New York Tribune, and her parents supported progressive causes, including suffrage and civil rights. She was on the leading edge of educated women advocating for civil, labor and women's rights. She said she proposed to her husband, Dutch importer Eugen Jan Boissevain, as part of her "new freedom" as a woman.
Milholland and Alice Paul, whom history remembers as an architect of women's suffrage, organized the 1913 march, and infused it with allegory and symbolism. Justice, liberty, peace and hope were represented by women in robes and colorful scarves, accompanied by the sound of trumpets. Milholland helped wrap the broad themes of American life in canny visual appeals, including her youth and beauty at a time when suffragists were derided for being unfeminine and lacking respectability.

The federal judge who struck down Virginia's ban on same-sex marriage Thursday is an appointee of President Barack Obama and in 2011 became the first black woman appointed as a federal District Court judge in Virginia.
Arenda Wright Allen, born in 1960, is a Philadelphia native who spent decades as a government lawyer: first for the Navy's Judge Advocate General's Corps, then as a federal prosecutor, and finally as a public defender. She is married to a retired pro soccer player from Jamaica and has two children - one of them named for musician Yanni.
When Wright Allen testified about her career before the Senate Judiciary Committee, she brought her pastor with her, from the 300-year-old First Presbyterian Church in Norfolk, Va. Next to her husband, Wright Allen said, the Rev. Jim Wood was "probably the closest man in my life."
"I first have to thank God, because it's clear to me that if it weren't for him I would not be here," Wright Allen said then.
Much of Wright Allen's legal career, as both a lawyer and a judge, has been spent working on the gritty details of criminal cases. She prosecuted weapons smugglers. She defended accused murderers. She sentenced child pornographers.
In the latest case, however, she faced a more abstract and historic question than one person's guilt or innocence. Does the Constitution's guarantee of "equal protection" mean that same-sex couples should not be denied the ability to wed?
Wright Allen said it did, in a sweeping opinion that referenced a landmark Supreme Court opinion that struck down statutes banning interracial marriage.
Wright Allen wrote that same-sex "relationships are created through the exercise of sacred, personal choices - choices, like the choices made by every other citizen, that must be free from unwarranted government interference."
That opinion has thrown a sudden spotlight on a judge who spent 25 years of her career working in the military and federal legal systems.
Wright Allen graduated from Kutztown State College (now Kutztown University), near Allentown, Pa., in 1982. She attended law school at North Carolina Central University, a historically black university in Durham, N.C. After graduating with a law degree in 1985, Wright Allen served in the Navy's legal corps until 1990. She remained in the Navy Reserve and retired from the reserves in 2005 with the rank of commander.
Wright Allen then spent 15 years as a federal prosecutor in Virginia, based mainly in Norfolk. She then became a federal public defender in 2005, also based in Norfolk. In five years, Wright Allen told the Senate Judiciary Committee, she represented about 500 clients facing felony charges.
In that Senate hearing, Wright Allen said she'd met her husband, Delroy Anthony Allen, when she was 17 and both were students at Jacksonville State University. (She later transferred to Kutztown.) "We were pen pals for 12 years before we dated for two months, and then married for seven years before we had our two children. So he is a friend, then a brother, then my boyfriend, my husband, and now the perfect father of my two children," she testified.
Wright Allen said then that her husband had left his job about 12 years before, when their younger son, Niall, was diagnosed with autism. Their older son, Wright Allen said, is an accomplished drummer with a famous name.
"We named him after a musician, Yanni, who's a Greek musician that my husband and I followed, because of his diverse band and his diverse orchestra, for about 30 years," she said.
Wright Allen was confirmed by the Senate by a vote of 96 to 0 in early 2011. Since then, she has handled the same kind of low-profile cases that she'd handled as a lawyer. As a judge, Wright Allen has a conversational style - often talking to defendants without the solemn distance that many judges favor.
Last year, for instance, Wright Allen spoke to a defendant in a bank-fraud case, urging him to spend some of his community-service hours speaking to students at his old high school. He should warn them, she said, about making choices that lead toward prison.
"Beg them not to put themselves in a cage," she said then, according to the Virginian-Pilot newspaper.
In another case, Wright Allen seemed to show little empathy for a man convicted in a child-pornography case. The man, who had been accused of luring underage girls into making lurid videos, told the judge that he didn't need jail. "All I need is the Lord, some good Christian fellowship and my family," he said.
Wright Allen gave him 30 years.
"You mentioned wanting Christian fellowship. You can have that while you're in BOP [the Federal Bureau of Prisons]," Wright Allen said, according to the Daily Press newspaper.
The same-sex marriage case gave Wright Allen a rare opportunity to remake the law, rather than take it as a given, whether she agreed with it or not.
One exchange with a defendant stands out now - in retrospect - after Wright Allen's same-sex ruling. It came during a 2011 case, in which a man claiming to have a "Moorish ID" had told police that he had immunity to U.S. laws.
"We all have to agree with the law in America, whether we like it or not," the judge said, according to the Virginian-Pilot. "Your beliefs, if they clash with American laws, are going to get you in trouble."
The newspaper said that Wright Allen told him that there were U.S. laws that even she didn't agree with.
"There's a lot of stuff I don't agree with in America," the judge continued. "But I keep my mouth shut.

What is your point? I was wrong? Ok. You win. I was wrong.
even in the face of clear cut evidence to the contrary.
There is some clear cut evidence about I.D.'s?
Quote from: CBWx2 on February 26, 2013, 02:22:16 PMeven in the face of clear cut evidence to the contrary.you would know about this (see the oh so expensive and hard to get ID's)
On another note (Vinny P will be happy about this), I heard an interview with Ben Carson on NPR tonight. His response was the biggest load of hypocritical, pretentious nonsense I've heard on that station in a good while.
Is anyone shocked that CBW - a guy who compared Dr. Carson to the Unabomber (apparently before hearing him speak, lol) - doesn't like Carson?Lol, I mean seriously? If Daily Kos like Carson so would CBW. He wouldn't know why he liked him, but he would.
There is no such thing as a "free market."
Markets are the creation of government. Remove government from having a role in economic development and what you get is a plutocracy, of the wealthy, for the wealthy, by the wealthy.
Quote from: CBWx2 on February 25, 2013, 01:37:46 PMThere is no such thing as a "free market."A "true" Free Market is purely hypothetical but is useful for discussing the exchange of specific items, but not overall economic systems.When most people write/say "free markets" they really mean "relatively free markets". For instance; "The market for TVs is relatively free compared to the market for emergency medical service because you can't price shop while having a heart attack."Quote from: CBWx2 on February 25, 2013, 01:37:46 PM Markets are the creation of government. Remove government from having a role in economic development and what you get is a plutocracy, of the wealthy, for the wealthy, by the wealthy.This is false by definition of "create". Markets are created by suppliers who create/invent/produce a product or service for which there is a demand. No government created the market for cars, Benz, Ford, et al did. The government did improve the market by paving roads, creating traffic laws, etc. but if the govt. had paved roads and no one had invented the auto, the market would not exist.I will say that government can improve markets by establishing standards (weights and measures, etc.) coining a standard currency, and preventing predatory or unfair trade practices, and I agree without some govt. things will degrade back to a darkages style serfdom (or Plutocracy if you like). But it is also true and apparent that govts can also hinder market development via excess regulation and interference in free entry and/or price movement. About the only things the govt. has created a market for is military hardware and lawyers, neither of which has improved humanity.People create markets, people create governments, governments ONLY create laws to regulate markets HOPEFULLY for the benefit of the people.
Quote from: VinBucFan on February 25, 2013, 01:44:19 PMMarkets are created by humans and by definition they are created "free."As I said, one could argue that a market can exist without government if you lived in a barter and trade society. In fact, those early "free" markets, created by people, were barter and trade markets. However, markets as we know them today didn't begin to manifest themselves until the governments of the world began to mint coins, and to imbue them with a relatable value, and until they created the legal infrastructures to enforce contract laws. The Code of Ur-Nammu, written by the ancient Sumerians, and The Code of Hammurabi, a set of laws implemented by a Babylonian king dating around 1800 BC is a perfect example of such an occurrence. Modern markets are the creation of government. There is no need to create a separate thread to debate it, because to argue to the contrary is absolutely absurd, and can be refuted with a few short senteces.
Markets are created by humans and by definition they are created "free."
The definition of create is to bring into existence, or to cause to come into being. Saying that markets were created simply from people conceptualizing and making things is akin to suggesting that human beings are created simply by the act of having sex. Sex doesn't create human beings, it is merely the process in which an egg is fertilized. The fertalized egg must then have a womb in which to implant itself, otherwise it never becomes anything more than just a fertalized egg. Inventors, producers, suppliers, and consumers = fertilized egg. Governments = womb. To suggest that modern markets would have came into being without governments is to suggest that a fertilized egg can become a human being without a womb.The primary way in which governments create markets is by creating and valuing their own currencies. The creation of money provided people with an instrument of value that allowed them to acquire things, eliminating the forced reliance on harvest surpluses, animal byproducts, etc. as the only form of currency. The creation of money is solely responsible for the rise of the merchant class. Without it, the would be merchant would've been forced to rely on farming, hunting, or gathering for a living, rather than merchandising.Also, as a devout capitalist, I'm sure you would agree that money is the driving force behind innovation. In a society absent money, where is the incentive to innovate? The would be inventor would have been right next to the would be merchant, tending to the fields, or braving the wilderness in order to acquire things. Had Wilber and Orville Wright been forced to farm to meet their basic needs , I highly doubt they would have had the time or motivation to invent the airplane. Had Nikola Tesla been forced to hunt and fish in order to meet his basic needs, I highly doubt he would have had the time or motivation to invent the radio. And if everyone else in a civilization were relegated to the same means of survival, I highly doubt there would be a market for airplanes or radios to begin with. Fertilized egg, meet womb.

Short Pump brewery offers more than just beer
I am still (happily) thinking about my entire experience at Rock Bottom Restaurant and Brewery last week. Knowing nothing about this new brewery out of Denver, I was leery of brew-pub in the heart of Short Pump Town Center – this is not what I'd usually think of as a perfect fit, and yet, it was.
The restaurant and craft brewery opened in early June and features 10 beers made by female brewmaster Becky Hammond (pictured). This is the restaurant's second location in Virginia; the first is in Arlington. Behind glass walls, customers watched the beer brewing in massive steel barrels. For our up-and-coming beer region, it makes sense that Short Pump would jump on board.
As I walked up to the back of the mall near the comedy club, I was taken aback by what I saw: at the top of the stairs was an overflowing restaurant with outdoor seating, large umbrellas and dangling outdoor lights. > Read more.
