INDIANAPOLIS (AP) -- The attorney for an Indianapolis financier convicted of swindling investors out of about $200 million will ask for a five-year sentence for his client, a marked difference than the recommended maximum sentence of 225 years.
Timothy Durham is due to be sentenced Friday in U.S. District Court in Indianapolis. He was convicted in June for securities fraud, conspiracy and 10 counts of wire fraud.
"We believe that (five years) is well-supported by the law," Durham's attorney John Tompkins told The Indianapolis Star (http://indy.st/TgRnLS ).
Tompkins argued in Monday's filing that Durham deserves a shorter sentence because "the seriousness of Mr. Durham's offenses is substantially overstated."
Last month, Tompkins filed documents with the court protesting a report prepared by U.S. probation employees recommending a maximum sentence of 225 years in prison. He argued the government caused the collapse of the Durham-led Fair Finance by ruining its reputation.
Some of Durham's relatives have submitted letters to the court in support of a lighter sentence.
"He isn't the type of person who would try to steal money from people," Durham's mother, Mitza Durham, wrote. "He was giving to people. . Tim would never intentionally hurt us, or anyone else."
Prosecutors claimed that after buying Akron, Ohio-based Fair Finance in 2002, Durham and his partners stripped it of its assets and tapped it to buy mansions, classic cars and other luxury items. Prosecutors said the men also funneled funds to Durham's Indianapolis-based holding company, Obsidian Enterprises, to keep its failing subsidiaries intact.
Tompkins has claimed the government's calculation of investor losses -- a key factor in determining a sentence -- is based largely on disputed assertions never proven by prosecutors. The document also asserts that government attorneys failed to prove the men's activities caused the losses, which occurred during a turbulent economy.
The allegations against Durham -- a major Indiana Republican Party donor -- led several GOP politicians, including Indiana Gov. Mitch Daniels, to return hundreds of thousands of dollars in campaign contributions sought by Fair Finance's bankruptcy trustee.

Edited Press Release
After re-writing the Olympic record books for swimming, Michael Phelps and his longtime coach may have the Kentucky Derby (G1) in their sights with a 3-year-old colt named Cerro, who won a race at Gulfstream Park on Saturday for Team Valor International.
Phelps and Bob Bowman joined the Team Valor group that races Cerro after he finished third at Gulfstream in Hallandale Beach, Fla., on Jan. 1 for trainer Graham Motion. Team Valor and Motion won the Derby two years ago with Animal Kingdom.
Bowman and Phelps were both traveling when Cerro scored by 2 lengths in an allowance race on the dirt this afternoon.
"Neither one of us got to see the race, but we are really excited to be part of Cerro's partnership and see what he can do as he moves along this spring," Bowman said.
Cerro is scheduled to race one more time at Gulfstream on March 3 in the Grade 3 Palm Beach Stakes and then move on to Kentucky for the Spiral Stakes (G3) at Turfway Park on March 24. Team Valor and Motion swept the Spiral and Kentucky Derby in 2011 with Animal Kingdom and in 2012 won the Spiral with Went the Day Well, who finished a troubled fourth in the Derby.
Phelps has been eager to get involved in horse racing since he retired from competitive swimming after the 2012 Summer Olympics. Bowman bred and raced Thoroughbreds in the past and introduced Phelps to the intricacies of the sport. They have visited Motion's base at Fair Hill Training Center in Elkton, Md.
Phelps grew up watching the Preakness Stakes (G1), the Triple Crown event in his hometown, Baltimore. Bowman and Phelps attended the Kentucky Derby together in 2009 and were at Pimlico Race Course when Animal Kingdom finished second in the 2011 Preakness. Bowman knows his way around the racetrack—he maintained a small roster of Thoroughbreds in Maryland from 2001 to 2010, winning the $100,000 Dancing County Stakes in 2008 at Laurel Park.
"I've always loved racing, and I got out because it just got to be a little much with the coaching, but now that Michael has retired and we're on a little more flexible schedule, we both wanted to have fun with it," Bowman said. "I think he's always seen how much fun I've had with it and wanted to get involved, and this is a great opportunity for us to do it."
Barry Irwin's Team Valor International syndicates each horse among a group of partners, varying from a handful of members to as many as 20, which is the size of the Animal Kingdom syndicate. Team Valor has 40 racehorses in the United States and another 25 in Europe, South Africa and Australia.
Irwin discovered Cerro in Italy, where he won his career debut on turf last spring. He raced on turf in his first two starts in the U.S. and improved when he switched to dirt this month.

Words can't desribe how magnificent this game is!
by bennyblanko05 on June 14, 2008
Pros: Graphics, Weapons, Storyline, Customization
Cons: The only con I could think of is the load times, but hey with a game this complex I understand and don't mind.

Summary: Wow, the more I think about this game the more I'm just in a state of shock. I never thought I would see and play a game like this. It's just simply incredible in all portions of the game. The storyline is like watching an Oscar winning movie. The graphics are the best ever seen in a video game. It's so detailed, so deep, and the sound effects are simply spectacular.(SURROUND SOUND IS A MUST!) This is probably the best 60 bucks you can spend your money on ever. I highly recommend every single person to play this game and give your eyes something they've never witnessed before.

Summary: From what I've read, I am in the minority here, but I have found this game to be dull, very dull. How many shooter games do we need? It would be nice if the game companies finally retired this overdone game genre and actually created interesting and new games.
The game is slow moving, videos are too long, the controls are difficult to get a handle on, and once you do you are done with playing because you're bored.
Has anything really changed in this genre over the past 10 years other than graphics?

Summary: This game has it all , simply perfect , i don't know of a game that i can play one section using stealth , sneaking up while some Soldiers fight to death with rebels , while in the next section i am kicking ass with a machine gun to help those poor rebels out , simple , i can play it depending on my mood , if i want to go in guns blazing , i can do that , if i want to sneak , i can do that , if i want to be careful and spy on the enemy first before attacking , i can do that , sniping from affar before closing in , check ...... you can play whatever way you like , and that is the best thing about it.So your give it a two and a half rating because you suck ? ...... nice ...... hahahaha if all the players in the world that have been beaten in Street fighter 4 gave it a bad rating , just imagine ...... worst game of all time , next time rate this game with a 5 (it deserves it ) and tell us that you are a 2 and a half star player ...... Easy and cannot manage? c'mon man

The best game of this generation
by CamBam117 on March 27, 2010
Pros: Perfectly refined/innovative/varied gameplay
Gorgeous art direction--not as technically powerful as Uncharted 2, but the character designs are unparalleled
Cinematic Cutscenes--Awesome camera, great lip syncing
Epic Story
Perfect controls
Cons: Load times--as bad as the first Mass Effect.
The humor is an aquired taste
Can be corny at times if you're not a fan of Japanese style of dialogue, but much better than Final Fantasy and actually fairly realistic for a Japanese game
Summary: This is the most innovative Metal Gear game, which is ironic considering the series goes back twenty years. It is also, imo, the best. It's not for everybody, but ...
Summary: This is the most innovative Metal Gear game, which is ironic considering the series goes back twenty years. It is also, imo, the best. It's not for everybody, but for those who enjoy epic, cinematic stories, stealth gameplay, and deep characters, there is nothing closer to perfection than MGS4. I've never played a game that earns it's price of admission more than MGS4, and I've never been sadder to see a character go than Solid Snake. Farewell, old soldier, we hope the world can survive without you.
Greatest Game Even Made
by *ERK* on February 9, 2010
Pros: Unmatched storyline, mind-blowing graphics, and excellent gadget options.
Cons: Long cut scenes can easily by pass it. First time playing, the cut scene is a must watched.
Summary: It's been two years and I haven't seem another game come close to this one.

Summary: This is right up there with Assassin's Creed and Halo 3 as the worst games I have ever wasted my money on. I am so sick of these boring, self-indulgent film clips and feeble attempts to craft a story. If they spent half as much time on developing the controls and weapons as they did on stupid cut scenes, the game would be a whole lot better.

Easy 5 out of 5 stars.
by Invierno1894 on February 17, 2009
Pros: Graphics, variety (in weapons, enemies, allies, scenarios, occurrences, etc.), long game, epic storyline, does good job for understanding to first-comers to the series, audio quality and location perfect, downloads of music and costumes available.
Cons: Extremely complicated online format, necessity of installing scenarios every time you want to play (only 5 scenarios, and not installed to hard drive), overall takes up 5gb on your hard drive *again, saving of scenarios don't count.

Summary: Metal Gear Solid 4. Many games, get old and tired by the 4th game of the series, if it even makes it that far. But Metal Gear Solid 4 however, manages to regurgitate brand new content, as well as a great storyline, to wrap up the plot of the entire series for that matter. Old Snake now has other things to worry about such as health, and stamina, with addition of stress. I've previously owned Metal Gear Solid: Portable Ops for the PSP, and thought that was just about what the Metal Gear Solid series was all about. Boy was I wrong, I was off by a longshot.
The console offers much much more variety. As well as Blu-ray technology for the PS3. Quoted from Wikipedia, "Guns of the Patriots is the first PS3 game that uses a full 50GB dual layer Blu-ray Disc, even after extensive efforts in data compression," (Wikipedia, Metal Gear Solid 4:Guns of the Patriots). Now, shoved into this 50 gigabytes, is an endless supply of guns, from submachine, sniper rifles, pistols, solar guns, to a grand assortment of portable missile launching equipment. Grenades including stun, normal shrapnel, smoke (as well as colored smoke grenades). You also have the freedom to confuse PMC troops by throwing empty ammo clips at them from a disclosed position. Or, of course, you may throw a petro bomb at them and watch them as they run away, flames spurring out of him. My point is that you can just do so much, as much as your mind can create itself. Just, don't get caught, or you might rely on hiding in a dumpster.
For those of you who base visuals by whether its 1080p or not, yes, its 1080p, full high definition. But, I would say, its a very crisp, and pristine high definition. Some games these day boasts about using all 1080p usefully, but then the games look really choppy and blurry. Sure, some points in the game have a little choppy graphic for a crumbled wall, and is flashed all over the internet. But I would say, that even the cut scenes are outrageously beautiful for a game, especially by today's standards. I suppose it all depends on how far up you sit in front of your tv as well though.
In addition the variety, graphics; the storyline is great. You may choose to get enveloped into it, or just simply hit start and select "skip cut scene" throughout the entire game. But you really are depriving yourself of an incredible storyline. I don't want to give anything away, but this really displays ever genre a movie has to offer. If you put all the cut scenes together into one piece, it itself would probably be as long as a movie. I watched every single scene however, and I lived, and I would from experience, recommend not missing a single scene. Also, Kojima achieved the ability of creating a game, the fourth in the series, that would still make sense to people who have bought into the series for the first time in their life.
Okay, so now. Graphics: check. Plot: check. variety: check. Now, off to what I think of not just the graphics, but the audio quality. Even though this was a Japanese game. I'm not even sure if they made an entirely new American version or what, but the voices were lined up just about perfectly throughout the entire game; on cut scenes and off of them. Also, the music implemented in certain parts, were a perfect match going along with the mood of the time. Audio quality is definitely a plus.
The game overall took me 20 hours to defeat (and I have experience from the PSP version as well). So for $40 or so, that's an incredible amount of time that you get out of all that money. Also on the game, there is section where you can download music, and costumes for Snake's Octocamo. The music which you may enjoy via the game's internal Ipod.
Now, the online perspective, ummmmmmmmm, extremely poor I would say. I wouldn't grade it down, because first of all, I wouldn't look forward to an online stealth game. Its just nothing I really look forward into putting so much time forward for. Besides, I bet it was designed for use in Japan, because it involves the option of peer downloads which requires a lot of people on the same network. Which would in turn help download the same thing you are.
Another thing that sorta brought the game down, was that you have to install a new part of the game, only momentarily though. As for specifics as to WHERE on the console it is downloaded? I have no idea. But its only ~3 minutes max per *momentary* download.
But overall, this game, is by far, the best game I have ever played in my life. It's better than a lot of the other competing games for that number one spot, in my opinion at least. Such as Halo, or the Call of Duty series, etc. You would have to really get into the stealth sort of gaming to thoroughly enjoy this exclusive title. Believe what you may though. And I believe this game deserves not just a 4.9/5 stars or anything that fancy, but a complete 5/5.
Thank you for reading my massive review, and I hope this helped, especially for those looking into buying Metal Gear Solid 4.
Visually stunning! A must play for PS3 gamers!
by bsoten on February 7, 2009
Pros: Coming from a PC, the game just plays as it should. This is the first game I played after buying my PS3 and I can't believe that I waited so long to get one. This game is a must have for gamers to realize the full pototential of their PS3 systems.
Cons: My only complaint would be the 3rd person view. I like the 1st person view as this is obviously more realistic. I can navigate well enough to enjoy the fame without being irritated by looking at myself instead of the action "in front" of "me".
Summary: Beg, borrow, or steal (borrow but "forget" to give it back) this game if you have to. It's that good!! I'm sure game designers that thought they had ...
Summary: Beg, borrow, or steal (borrow but "forget" to give it back) this game if you have to. It's that good!! I'm sure game designers that thought they had a good finished product probably changed a few things about their own game design/setups once they saw or played MGS4. The detail and texture of the small things is what really impresses me. The only b*tch is the 3rd person only view, but that's some I got used to in short order. I've played FPS shoot'm-up PC games since Duke Nukem and Quake in the late '90, so I'm very impressed with the overall graphic and audio enhancements (and the subtle ones too) of games in general and epic hits like MGS4 in particular. The PS3 and MGS4 are my very first experience with console games, and I'm pissed at myself for not diving into them way before this. Oh well, better late than never.
I just wish there was a way to have the option to play the entire game in FP view without destroying the designer's vision of how the game should look and be played. If there was, I'd give this game 5 complete stars without a second thought.
Other than that, I love this game!

CATEGORIES Drama, Independent, Romance, Casting, Scripts, Cinematical Indie, CinematicalBack in May, Ziyi Zhang was in talks for a Chinese opera biopic called Mei Lanfang. With filming currently underway on that production, Zhang is looking for her next role, and Variety reports that she may have found it in the long-awaited, aptly-titled Waiting. Based on Ha Jin's National Book Award-winning novel, the English-language adaptation was originally conceived in 2001, for Chow Yun-fat to star in. Now that a number of years have passed, they're looking to a younger generation -- namely Ziyi Zhang and Takeshi Kaneshiro (House of Flying Daggers) -- to finalize talks. Peter Chan started adapting the novel when it was first tapped for a feature, and the film will still be directed by him once post-production is finished on Warlords.
Waiting details the life of a doctor in China's Revolutionary Army who struggles to do what he thinks is right. When his mother is dying, he agrees to an arranged marriage -- with a country woman he finds to look much older than she is, and one who has bound feet. He doesn't love his arranged life and he lives at an army hospital, so he only visits his wife and family once a year. He falls in love with a nurse, but both are bound by Communist law -- he has to be separated from his wife for 18 years before he can divorce her. The couple then wait (hence the title) so that they might consummate their relationship. 18 years...that's dedication.

CATEGORIES MoviesA plot development far more upsetting than James Bond drinking a beer is rumored to take place in the next 007 film, "Skyfall." Apparently, a major character is going to be killed off.
An "insider" on the set of the 23rd Bond shared the earth-shattering scoop: "We've just filmed M's death scene."
(Cue the sound of a million "No's!") Judi Dench has played James Bond's boss, M, since 1995's "Goldeneye." She's overseen both Pierce Brosnan and Daniel Craig's reign as the rogue agent, making her the only regular recurring character in the franchise. (Q, the British Secret Service's gadget man, will be played by newcomer Ben Whishaw in "Skyfall.")
There's always the possibility that multiple endings have been filmed to deliberately throw off the media, but Dench has previously been rumored to be leaving the franchise.
So, if this is (sniff) indeed true, who would replace her? EW suggests another Dame, such as Helen Mirren or Vanessa Redgrave (Ralph Fiennes has been rumored to take over the role.)
Neither Sony Pictures or Eon Productions, the company behind the Bond films, will comment on the rumors of Dench's rumored departure or the possibility of Fiennes becoming the new M. (The New York Post came right out and said "great Judi Dench is being killed off as M," in a piece about how she's returning to the stage.)
The 77-year-old Dench, who won an Oscar for "Shakespeare in Love," recently revealed she is suffering from macular degeneration and is no longer able to read scripts, but has vowed to keep acting.

In addition to the G.I..Bill, and the Post 9/11 G.I. Bill, there are a wide variety of available scholarships designed to encourage and support veterans in their quest for a college education. These scholarships are supported by both public and private funds, and are offered to eligible veterans who have been honorably discharged from military service. Requirements and award amounts will vary according to the program.
The following examples are just a small sampling of scholarships designed to benefit veterans and their families.
Financial aid for active-duty service-members is available from every branch of the U. S. Military. Scholarships, grants and tuition assistance programs are often used as recruiting incentives, and offer educational opportunities in exchange for military service. While this is a very viable, and rewarding, way to find funding for college, students should note that these programs require service commitments. Recipients must agree to a predetermined term of service in the military in order to receive awards. Enlisting in any brand of the military is an honorable decision, but it is not to be taken without due consideration.
The following examples will show the breadth of financial aid programs available to enlisted servicemen and women, as well as to their spouses and dependents.
Military service is a brave, and honorable, choice that offers more than just financial rewards. They who have given so much, deserve the educational support and encouragement of a grateful nation. Veterans, active-duty personnel, and their families rightfully have access to a wide range of scholarships and grants to enable them to pursue a college education, and to find lasting success on the home-front.
Each branch of the United States' Military supports a variety of scholarship programs for the children and spouses of their service-members. All of these programs have distinct eligibility requirements, and interested students will want to thoroughly research the programs to which they are applying.
The US Army sponsors a variety of scholarship and grant programs designed to help the families of service-members find the necessary funds for college. These programs are intended to help the spouses and children of army personnel achieve their college ambitions. The following financial aid programs are currently being supported by the United States Army.
The US Air Force supports a number of scholarships and grants for for the dependents of both active, and retired, personnel. These programs offer much needed financial assistance to the spouses and children of Air Force personnel who are pursing a college education.
The US Air Force currently supports the following programs for the dependents of active and retired service-members.
The Navy-Marine Corps Relief Society provides financial support to Naval personnel, Marines, and their families. In addition to a number of interest free loans for service-members and their families, the Relief Society offers the following programs for the college-bound dependents of Navy and Marine personnel.
In addition to these scholarship programs, the Navy-Marine Corps Relief Society also administers the Vice Admiral E. P. Travers Loan Program and the Spouse Tuition Aid Loan Program which provide low cost education loans to the dependents of active-duty Navy or Marine Corps personnel.
The Coast Guard Foundation administers a variety of grant and scholarship programs designed to benefit the children and spouses of active-duty, retired and deceased Coast Guard personnel. These programs are a combination of need-based and merit-based awards, and include theRADM Arnold I. Sobel Scholarship, the Commander Ronald J. Cantin Scholarship and the Fallen Heroes Scholarship. These and other financial aid programs offer much needed assistance to the children and spouses of Coast Guard service-members who are struggling to meet the rising costs of a college education. Award amounts vary depending on program, school of attendance, academic achievement and financial need.

Police investigate stabbing in Phillipsburg
Suspect Robert Eve jailed on aggravated assault charges
Police have arrested a man who they said stabbed another man in Phillipsburg, N.J., early Thursday morning.
Officers were called shortly after 5:30 a.m. to the first block of Lewis Street for the report of an assault involving a knife. They subsequently found Justin Barona with stab wounds to both of his arms, police said.
Barona, 22, of Phillipsburg, was transported to St. Luke's Hospital in Fountain Hill, Lehigh Co., for treatment of what appeared to be non-life-threatening injuries, police said.
Police later identified Robert Eve as the suspect, who knew Barona prior to the incident. Eve, 36, also of Phillipsburg, fled the scene before officers arrived, police said.
Eve was arrested Friday in Bayonne, N.J. He was charged with aggravated assault and possession of a weapon for an unlawful purpose and committed to the Warren County Correctional Facility on $75,000 bail.

How we change what others think, feel, believe and do
Visual-Analog Rating scale
Explanations > Social Research > Measurement > Visual-Analog Rating scale
Description | Example | Discussion | See also
The visual-analog rating scale displays a scale as a blank line, without any choices. An extreme alternative is described at either end of the line and the person must choose somewhere in between the two, marking the point with an 'X'. A center point may be marked.
Analysis of results is done by grouping markings by applying an 'overlay'. Physically, this could be a clear plastic sheet that is laid on top of question page with a Likert-style limited number of sections, for example four or five.
When you think about your experiences over the past day, on the whole, how do you feel (Please put a X on the line):
Very unhappy |_______________|_______________| Very happy
The problem with a set of choices, such as in the Likert scale, is that any words are liable to quite variation in interpretation and hence scoring. For example some people may consider 'quite happy' as meaning very happy, whilst others may see it as only slightly happy.
A common strategy will be to mark questions relatively to one another, thus 'I'll put the X more to the right on this one as compared with the previous one as I feel more strongly about this'.
The visual-analog scale does away with word-interpretation errors by presenting a simple line. A center mark on the scale helps the person deliberately lean one way or another.
There are still potential problems with this method, for example that people become uncertain and so place their 'X' relatively randomly. There is also the question of what to do when people deliberately place marks relative to one another to show comparative choice, but the overlay lumps them all into one or a few categories.
This method can be more effort to select and analyze data and the choice of where to segment the overlay can lead to very different results. Often this is done with a simple division across the line width. Divisions could also be set with, for example, a measurement of standard deviation or quartiles based on a study of a random sample of responses.
The method also works better on paper -- it is difficult to offer an analog choice on a computer screen.
The visual analog scale is also known as a Graphic Rating scale as it uses a visual format with a metaphor of distance and relative position to represent importance.

The lovely mrs. pdb and I spent the last week or so in Tucson, Arizona - she grew up there, and in a complete coincidence I have family that lives there, and the Timbers are doing spring training there, so we went down to kill...three birds with one stone, I guess. Four, if you count eating quantities of spectacular Mexican food that make me feel like Orson Welles right now and will see me hit the gym several extra times this week.
Anyway, when we got to the airport, the guy at the rental car counter said "Oh, you're going to rent a compact car? Tell you what. It's a really slow week this week, we've got lots of cancellations, so for an extra, probably, $5 a day I can put you in a really fun car". I said "what do you mean by "fun car?" " He pointed at the Mustang convertible behind me and said "something like that". After he ran the numbers and confirmed that the grand total of our rental would be less than $200 for a seven day rental, he said "okay, now, which one do you want?" He went around and showed us the Mustang, a Chrysler 300 convertible, a BMW 325is hardtop, and then we rounded the corner and saw the black Camaro convertible. We both instantly said WE WANT THAT ONE.
So for about $30 more than renting a stupid Dodge Neon, we got a V6, rear-wheel-drive, low-to-the-ground, badass 2012 Camaro convertible. I'm not much of a car guy - that may be the biggest car I've ever driven in my life - but OH MY GOD WAS THAT AWESOME. We got random people complimenting us as they crossed the street when we were stopped at red lights; we got people asking if they could take it for a drive, and we generally just spent the week driving around, blasting classic rock on the radio, and feeling all sorts of awesome. There is nothing like driving a muscle car - even a modern one - with the top down and the sun out and Stranglehold on the radio. And yes, that happened.
All of this almost mitigates the fact that I watched Mikael Silvestre pretty much play his way on to the 2013 Portland Timbers roster. Yes, really.
What about you? Anything unexpectedly awesome happen to you recently? Anything else exciting happening? Pitchers and catchers report next week, which in and of itself isn't anything, but like the first returning birds of the spring, it's a sign of something good about to happen.

In the Garden
When to plant your bulbs?
Usually I wait until early December to buy and plant bulbs. Well, in the interest of honesty, I should admit that I don't actually wait. Usually it's December before I get around to buying and putting in bulbs.
I plant tulips. I think they're beautiful, and I think they're well suited to me in part because I really dislike looking at the dying foliage after the bloom fades. Since I don't try to make tulips go more than one year, I'm free to take them out when I start hating the way they look.
This year, I bought bulbs early which meant, among other things, that I paid full price. But I brushed the idea of the extra money aside as I savored a full measure of smug satisfaction that I was ahead of the game.
I've been duly punished.
Chipmunks or squirrels or whatever have been digging up my bulbs every day for the last three weeks. I planted 90 bulbs and, so far, I've counted more than twenty empty holes in my tulip bed. Plus, to add insult to injury, frequently my uninvited guests eat only about half the bulb and throw the rest on the ground for me to find. I think if I want any tulips next spring, I'm going to have to buy and plant some more.
Isn't it enough that they're also eating all my birdseed?
It is in times like these that I either call someone at the Extension office or go online and see if Virginia Cooperative Extension has a publication that will help me.
Since I finally decided to face this issue on a weekend when, understandably, the office was closed, I went online and found "Flowering Bulbs: Culture and Maintenance" at http://www.ext.vt.edu.
"One of the most popular spring bulbs is the tulip," says the publication. "Tulips come in all colors except blue."
My bulbs are pink, white, and pink-and-white, purchased in three different bags. They represent something of a splurge since I normally get the 60-mixed-colors bag that's left on the markdown counter.
"Selecting quality spring bulbs is very important." Okay, did that this year. "Size is important: look for plump, firm bulbs." Check.
"Hardy, spring-flowering bulbs are planted in fall." Yes. "As a general rule of thumb, bulbs should be planted 2.5 to 3 times the diameter of the bulb in depth." Yes, I did that.
"If voles are a problem, the bulbs can be planted in baskets made of wire screen to prevent the animals from reaching and destroying them."
Voles? I have voles. They're tunneling all over my garden, but do they toss half the bulb up on the surface of the ground?
Have I been falsely accusing my chipmunks?
And, where can I get baskets made of wire screen? Really, if I tell the truth, I don't think I'm up for wire screen baskets.
I think I'm going to wait until the bulbs go on sale in early December. Then I'll buy and plant some more. Maybe some bad habits are not that bad after all.

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.

Town Square
No matter how bad 'ambulance billing' is, things could be worse ...
Original post made by Jay Thorwaldson on Feb 2, 2009
That's what city officials and the public learned this week with the release of a special City Auditor's report on billing irregularities that may have cost the city tens of thousands of dollars -- perhaps several hundred thousand -- in recent years.
This report caught my personal attention for several reasons. One was a general interest in city flaws that cost money that could be better spent on services and projects of real value rather than being wasted.
Another reason is from the past: The paramedics program was created as a result of a five-part series of investigative articles I wrote for the erstwhile Palo Alto Times many years ago, in 1971, in fact.
Those articles resulted in the creation of the paramedics program, after the late Joe Carleton took up the cause and lobbied the City Council and city officials. The articles outlined serious, sometimes life-threatening shortcomings of the private ambulance services locally and statewide.
These were not just billing problems -- they were problems with inadequate (if any) training, ambulance crews not knowing streets, how patients were handled in cases of serious illness or accidents, and cut-throat competition between firms.
So no matter how serious the current billing problems are -- and they seem quite serious, as outlined in Staff Writer Gennady Sheyner's coverage this week -- things could be worse. Thus far, no allegations or reports have surfaced about problems with patient care emanating from the life-saving service, which next year will be observing its 40th anniversary.
At the time of the series, one medical official estimated that proper training and operation of an emergency-response service could save at least eight lives a year in Palo Alto. Let's see, 8 x 40. …
The core problem at the time was that state law required ambulance crews to get First Aid training within a few months of getting a job with an ambulance firm, as I recall. But because most employees of ambulance firms -- who often had to put in 90-hour shifts -- were young and single, the pattern was that an attendant would quit one company just shy of the required time and get a job at another.
This created a life-and-death "musical chairs" pattern of virtually untrained crew members never getting trained, unless they were lucky enough to land on a crew with a more experienced member who knew something.
The result was that some patients were permanently paralyzed or more seriously injured by being handled ineptly, while others simply died in transit from heart attacks or other acute illnesses.
The high rotational turnover also left ambulance crews with no one who knew the local streets.
A colleague of mine at the Times was thrown from her horse along Alpine Road when it shied at some construction work for the new I-280 freeway. She suffered a broken hip. When the ambulance headed back toward Stanford Hospital, the driver turned right at Alpine and Junipero Serra Boulevard. My friend, in pain but looking out a side window, had to tell them they were going the wrong way and that they needed to jog left and right to get onto Sand Hill Road to get to the hospital. Oh. OK.
A fire official recounted how firemen were dropped off at corners of tricky subdivisions -- such as the Greenmeadow or Barron Park neighborhoods -- to wave the ambulance crew in the right direction. Just follow the string of firefighters.
Then there was the cut-throat competition.
I first heard about companies racing each other to pick up patients to get the lucrative transport fees, then confirmed with multiple sources.
In one instance in East Palo Alto, an officially dispatched ambulance crew from San Mateo County arrived at the address of a heart-attack victim to find him being wheeled out of the house on a gurney by a Palo Alto-based company. When the newcomers protested, a Palo Alto crew member responded by pointing out that the patient was on their gurney.
Well, yeah, the late arriver said, holding aloft a set of keys to the Palo Alto ambulance, which he then tossed into a bush and claimed the patient while the Palo Alto crew scrabbled to find their keys.
I confirmed this incident with a crew member of one of the ambulances as well as with other medical people.
I got a kick five years later when the film, "Mother, Jugs and Speed," came out and included a scene at a golf course where one crew tosses the other crew's keys into the rough and claims the patient. It was the one really funny part of a mostly crummy film that even its star-power stars Bill Cosby, Raquel Welch and Harvey Keitel couldn't resuscitate.
Critic Vincent Canby of the New York Times rightly described it thus: "'Mother, Jugs and Speed' is a rip-off of vulgarity, poor taste and shock, which, like guns, should be kept away from film makers who don't know how to use them. …"
But I've always wondered where they got the idea for the tossing of the ambulance keys into a bush.
on Feb 3, 2009 at 1:13 pm
If the city pays for the paramedics, why are citizens billed when their services are used? Should we be we billed if the fire department puts out a fire? Are we to be billed if we call the police to catch an intruder in our residence? Lastly, why do we hire an outside company to prepare the bills? They probably cost more than keeping the paramedics trained. Can't our large city staff handle this?
This whole area need an in-depthlook.
on Feb 3, 2009 at 5:26 pm
Two years ago my husband was taken from the Palo Alto Clinic Urgent Care to the Stanford ER - a distance of sixth-tenths of a mile. He did have oxygen and already had an IV in which the paramedic decided to re-do. Cost $800.00 for this trip which took less than five minutes. . Palo Alto transport 'accepts assignment' which means it can charge Medicare patients ONLY according to the Medicare payment schedule which was about $400 then. We had to pay 20%. I shudder to think what those not on Medicare have to pay. And of course, the homeless don't and can't pay anything. There is a suggestion at City Hall to increase these fees - which would especially hurt the elderly who comprise the majority of the transports.
on Feb 4, 2009 at 8:29 am
Good piece, but perhaps you can send Gennady to report whether non-City ambulances still have the problems you found in 1971. Have the standards and rules changed? Palo Alto is the only city in Santa Clara County to opt out of the county system. Do other cities and towns have problems with the county system?
The Merc reported a couple years ago that Santa Clara and San Jose's city ambulances have been a flop.

Warren Buffett's Elephant Gun Hits Heinz (Update1)
(Adds analyst comments, additional data.)
NEW YORK (TheStreet) -- After alluding to a $20 billion deal for nearly a year, Warren Buffett of Berkshire Hathaway (BRK.A) aimed his "elephant gun" at H.J. Heinz (HNZ) in one of his largest acquisitions ever.
Berkshire on Thursday announced a deal to buy the iconic ketchup maker for $72.50 a share in cash, in a transaction that values the company at about $28 billion when counting debt.
To buy Heinz, Berkshire will be teaming up with private equity firm 3G Capital, an emerging leader in the food and restaurant industry.The deal may put to rest months of speculation about where Buffett would invest Berkshire Hathaway's impressive cash hoard next. In 2009, the Oracle of Omaha, as he's known, cut his biggest-ever deal in buying railroad Burlington Northern Santa Fe for $26.5 billion and roughly a year later Berkshire bought chemicals giant Lubrizol in a $10 billion acquisition. Previously, industrial giants like Deere (DE) and Cummins (CMI) were seen as being a good fit for Buffett's cash stockpile, which stood at over $47 billion as of the third quarter. At Berkshire Hathaway's annual meeting last May, Buffett fanned speculation about his next large acquisition, announcing the company had come close to cutting a $22 billion deal during the last quarter of 2011. In January, CNBC's David Faber reported that Berkshire was in the running for the New York Stock Exchange (NYX) until a competitor bourse, IntercontinentalExchange (ICE), prevailed with a higher bid. In a CNBC interview Thursday, Buffett said he'd been studying Heinz for decades, but formal negotiations started only two months ago. Buffett said Berkshire's partner on the deal, 3G Capital, will split the equity investment and likely take a larger role in running Heinz once the transaction is completed. With 3G Capital, owner of Burger King Worldwide (BKW) and a large investor in Anheuser-Busch InBev (BUD), Buffett is expanding Berkshire's reach into the food industry. Always eager to invest in businesses with stable earnings and enduring products, Buffett teamed up with Mars to finance its acquisition of Wm. Wrigley Jr. Co. in 2008 for $23 billion. Within Berkshire Hathaway's stock portfolio, Coca-Cola (KO) remains a top holding, and Buffett has been seen eating Dairy Queen burgers and ice cream sundaes, another Berkshire-owned company. McLane Industries, another Berkshire holding, is a large food distributor. "Immediately it gave me flashbacks to the Wrigley and Mars deal," Brian Sozzi, chief equities analyst at NBG Productions, said of Thursday's acquisition. "Longer term, you are going to see more consolidation in the [food and beverage] space, chiefly because of inflation," he said, highlighting companies including Hershey's (HSY) or Campbell Soup (CPB) that could have been Berkshire targets. "Heinz has strong, sustainable growth potential based on high-quality standards, continuous innovation, excellent management and great-tasting products," Buffett said in a statement announcing the deal. "Their global success is a testament to the power of investing behind strong brand equities and the strength of their management team and processes. We are very pleased to be a part of this partnership." Credit Suisse analyst Robert Moskow wrote in a client note that Campbell, Unilever, Nestle and Kraft Foods (KFT) have been considered candidates for a merger with Heinz. However, he didn't see the prospect of those companies or a private equity firm topping the $72.50-a-share bid. A team of Deutsche Bank analysts noted the acquisition might be an indication that "Heinz's earnings power was not being fully recognized by the market." The Heinz deal will be financed through a combination of cash provided by Berkshire Hathaway and 3G Capital, a rollover of existing debt, and financing commitments from Wells Fargo (WFC) and JPMorgan (JPM). Morningstar analyst Greggory Warren calculates Berkshire and 3G will own $4 billion of Heinz's equity, while Berkshire will also hold preferred shares worth $8 billion that carry a dividend of 9%. The proposed deal values Heinz at about a 20% premium to its Wednesday closing price. Shares in the company, which continues to breach record highs, had risen nearly 17% in the 12 months prior to Thursday's transaction. "With Heinz stock recently at an all-time high and 30 consecutive quarters of organic topline growth, Heinz is being acquired from a position of strength," William Johnson, Heinz chairman and CEO, said in a statement. -- Written by Antoine Gara in New York Follow @AntoineGara

The Richmond Kickers scored twice in 20 minutes, which was enough to beat the Harrisburg City Islanders
Rochester Rhinos have signed former Chicago Fire defender Tony Walls, former Orlando City midfielder Johnny Mendoza, and Senegalese defender Babacar Diallo
After Luis Soffner and Alec Sundly join the team, the Rhinos lost 2-1 to Pittsburgh Riverhounds at Highmark Stadium in the most recent preseason exhibition.
As we brace for the impending roster shake-up this off-season, I look at who I think will be a part of the 2014 Revolutions campaign and who will be sent packing this winter. One of the answers...
It has been a long and arduous season for the Rhinos, with a few ups and plenty of downs. Here's a look at the season that was, with some hopeful insight into the future.
Oh, you thought Charlie Davies was going to be the only new addition this summer? Think again! The Revs have opted to address their need at fullback depth by bringing in an experienced...
We've known it was going to happen for sometime now, but the Revs have just today officially announced that the rookie midfielder underwent surgery on his right knee.
Lance Rozeboom scores in the first half and the team withstands a barrage from the Battery late to settle for a draw at home
Wanted to share this article in case you missed it. It briefly chronicles the 1999 Rochester Rhinos Open Cup run that saw them eventually beat the Colorado Rapids in the finals. The team was coached by Pat Ercoli, who just recently took the helm once again following Jesse Myers dismissal. It's a really great read. Be sure to watch the video at the top, too! -Corey
Jay Heaps will have to make some difficult decisions this week with D.C. and new York both due in town for league-play and Open Cup respectively. If winning is the priority on both fronts, then the...

This caddy is too large and deep for pens and pencils. There should be a diagonal divider and a raised base to accomodate shorter items.

I am using these for my wedding! Walmart actually had the same ones, but for cheaper, so the only complaint is the price. When trying to be cost effective I try to look for bargins! Other than that they are great
