Featuring: Construction equipment
Grade control system for road resurfacing
By using the GCS900 Grade Control System on a milling machine (or cold planer), operators can control the precise cutting depth of the mill, which means you are less likely to overcut the surface or require additional asphalt or concrete material in the repaving process. Cutting depth control also can reduce the number of passes required, the need for additional grading, and wear on the milling machine and blade. Trimble Navigation Ltd. www.trimble.com.Circle 5.

Converts from rock to core drilling
Designed for straight-line drilling on a level subgrade, the Model 240B combo drill system caters to both rock drilling and core drilling applications. The conversion process requires just a few simple tools, and the unit does not need to be anchored to the concrete when core drilling — eliminating setup time. It is operated from the subgrade, keeping the machine and user out of traffic lanes. An optional conversion kit allows it to switch from horizontal to vertical drilling.

Sarah Gravlee is ABC FOX Montana's News Director. Being able to live and work in Montana and bring you the ABC FOX Montana News is a privilege Sarah Gravlee does not take lightly.
You can count on her to check the facts and bring you interesting perspectives on the day's top stories. Sarah's been a reporter since she had baby teeth. She started a school newspaper in her 4th grade class and has been searching down breaking news ever since.
People often ask where Sarah is from, and there's not a simple answer. She moved often as a kid and usually tells people, "The mountains are my home." In college Sarah worked as a counselor and wrangler at a dude ranch in Colorado and had just as much fun wrangling kids as horses.
She spent six years in Billings working as an anchor, reporter and producer at the NBC affiliate, KULR-8 News. There she covered everything from fair food at MontanaFair to the Montana Air National Guard's response to the devastating earthquake in Haiti.
She's particularly proud of her work with the Guard, an investigative series she did tracking down a California Conman who was trying to convert the Hardin Jail into a para-military training center, and her live coverage of a triple murder and manhunt in the Crow Nation. All three stories earned her top honors from the Society of Professional Journalists, but the biggest honor an anchor can get is knowing that you trust her to bring you the news.
In her free time she likes to hit the trails with her husband Jeff and their pound puppy, Pepper. They can also be found floating local waters while fly fishing for trout. In the winter Sarah likes to go snow shoeing, or skiing. She can also be found curled up by the fire with a good book or a classic "chick flick." She challenges anyone to beat her in a trivia contest involving "Pretty Woman" or "Dirty Dancing."
That's a little bit about Sarah, but mostly she's excited to get to know you. Please email her story ideas at email@example.com. You can also keep tabs on her work by liking her on Facebook or following her on Twitter @SarahABCFOXMT. She looks forward to hearing from you.

A three-day hearing into the 2011 firing of State Bureau of Investigation agent Duane Deaver ended Friday without testimony from the man seeking to regain his job.
Deaver did not take the stand; neither he nor his lawyers commented afterward.
The veteran SBI agent was fired in 2011 after a series of messy court cases, including the 2010 exoneration of Greg Taylor, who spent 17 years in prison for a murder he did not commit. A three-judge panel declared Taylor innocent after hearing evidence that Deaver failed to report the result of a blood test favorable to Taylor.
In the absence of Deaver's testimony at the hearing, Administrative Law Judge Jim Conner heard Deaver's story through the voices of current and former SBI employees, as well as state Attorney General Roy Cooper's chief of staff.
SBI Director Greg McLeod testified in support of his decision to fire Deaver. His predecessor, Robin Pendergraft, sympathized with Deaver.
If Deaver is given his job back, the state has signaled that it will immediately sack him again.
In December 2011, after Deaver was fired, a state judge in Durham found that Deaver committed perjury in the 2003 murder trial of Durham novelist Michael Peterson, who was awarded a new trial.
Reservations about firing
On Friday, a former SBI supervisor testified that he had reservations before firing Deaver but concluded that Deaver's conduct rose to the level of dismissal.
"I had reservations about whether it rose to the level of termination," retired SBI Assistant Director Marshall Tucker said.
McLeod, the director, rejected his disciplinary recommendation and made the final decision to fire Deaver, Tucker said.
"I think the conduct did support termination," Tucker said. "It was a close call."
Tucker was Deaver's direct supervisor and wrote the 2011 letter firing him.
Tucker said the decision to fire Deaver weighs on him to this day.
"It was a difficult decision," he said. "I supported the director's decision and executed it."
The SBI's reasons
Deaver's lawyers spent the three days trying to discredit the three reasons cited by the SBI in his letter of termination:
• Deaver was charged with criminal contempt for statements made to members of the North Carolina Innocence Inquiry Commission in the Taylor case. The SBI had conducted an internal investigation into whether Deaver had committed perjury before the commission. That investigation failed to sustain the complaint after a majority of commissioners and staff said they were not concerned by Deaver's testimony.
• Deaver consulted on a case from Henderson County while on leave when he was being investigated; he also endorsed sending a confidential report to an outside agency that was not authorized to receive the information.
• In a video in which Deaver helped conduct a bloodstain pattern experiment, Deaver is heard saying, "That's a wrap, baby," after his fellow agent manages to replicate a stain on a T-shirt. SBI officials said the comment was unprofessional and hurt the credibility of the SBI for the jury in a Davie County murder trial. Deaver was not fired for the underlying experiment, which many bloodstain pattern experts have derided as pointless and unscientific.
As is typical in administrative hearings, a recommended decision from Conner is at least a month or more away. Conner's decision will be advisory; a final decision will be made by the State Personnel Commission. That decision can be appealed as well.

Board chairwoman Rene Simmons began the session by telling board members that the 12 applicants will be referred to by numbers and not have their names announced publicly due to confidentiality purposes. The board received applications and resumes from in and out of the state; however, board members narrowed the choices down to the top four candidates Tuesday evening.
"There are a lot of good candidates and we certainly appreciate their interest, but with some we don't want to waste our time if they're not who we feel is going to take our school system forward," Simmons said.
Board members then individually marked their top choices, and Simmons tallied the numbers. Once those were chosen, board members then reviewed each of the top picks' applications and resumes in order to see if he or she met the board's "wish list" criteria, which consisted of the following areas: someone who holds a doctorate degree, someone who is trustworthy with effective leadership skills, someone who listens and gives good advice on various subjects, proven financial ability, someone who is strong, sound and stable in their former and current jobs, someone who possesses strong instructional leadership, someone who is good at building relationships within the community and wants to boost the community in a positive light and possibly someone who has previous facilities construction experience (which was mentioned in regards to the construction of the new Walker High School).
The candidates' references will be contacted and thorough background checks will be performed within the week.
Simmons said she will contact the top four candidates today to see if they still have interest in the position.
"Our role as board members, we're appointed to have the best interest of the students, but we also have a duty and responsibility to keep our school system strong and excellent," Simmons said. "... But we always want to be better ... We have a huge weight on our shoulders to choose the best person to educate our students."
The Jasper City Board of Education will hold a meeting today at 6 p.m. to discuss regular business with the possibility of announcing those top candidates.
Tentatively, the board decided to schedule the public interviews with candidates for Monday, July 14.
Any updates on superintendent matters will be discussed during today's meeting.

Google confirmed Tuesday that it has ported part of QuickOffice, a popular iOS and Android app substitute for Microsoft Office, to a technology baked into Chrome OS and the company's Chrome browser.
The search giant acquired QuickOffice in mid-2012, and rolled the iOS and Android apps -- and QuickOffice's development team -- into its Google Apps group. As an app for the iPhone, iPad, and Android-powered smartphones and tablets, QuickOffice lets customers view, create, and edit Word, Excel, and PowerPoint documents.
[ Also check out the review: Office 365 turns up the heat. | Get familiar fast with Office 2010's key applications -- Word, Excel, PowerPoint, and Outlook -- with InfoWorld's set of Office 2010 QuickStart PDF guides. | Stay abreast of key Microsoft technologies in our Technology: Microsoft newsletter. ]
TechCrunch was the first to report that Google was bundling QuickOffice viewers with the $1,300 Chromebook Pixel notebook, and that editing functionality would be added to the Chrome OS-powered laptop in the next two to three months.
To do that, Google ported QuickOffice to "Native Client," a technology that lets developers turn applications written in C and C++ -- originally intended to run in, say, Windows -- into ones that execute entirely within a browser, specifically Google's own Chrome. Google claims that Native Client code runs almost as fast inside the browser as the original did outside.
Chrome OS, of course, is built atop Chrome the browser; both support Native Client. The latter has featured Native Client support since Chrome 14, which launched in September 2011.
Although Google has debuted a partial native client edition of QuickOffice on Chrome OS, and plans to wrap up the port on that platform, there are no technical barriers that prevent the finished application from also running within the Chrome browser on Windows, OS X, and Linux.
Google declined to comment on whether or when it will offer QuickOffice for Chrome.
Analysts saw the porting of QuickOffice to Chrome OS -- and the potential for bringing the application to Chrome on other platforms -- in the context of the ongoing war between Google and Microsoft over the lucrative business productivity market.
"I presume that they're delivering QuickOffice on the Pixel, and would through the browser, because it's a superior solution to what they can deliver through Google Apps," said Ezra Gottheil, an analyst with Technology Business Research, citing factors including offline access and faster response from the locally-installed QuickOffice. "But QuickOffice also adds to Google Apps' appeal."
As a mobile app, QuickOffice costs $15 for Android and iOS smartphones, and $20 for the tablet editions. Google Apps for Business subscribers, however, have had access to a free iPad version since last December.
"The question is, 'How good of an Office experience can Google provide?'" said Al Hilwa of IDC. "If QuickOffice in Chrome does approximate [Microsoft] Office, then that's a challenge for Microsoft, a serious one."

ONLEY, Va. - Volunteer firefighters are exhausted after almost 70 suspected arsons on the Eastern Shore of Virginia since November. That's why an Exmore woman is using social media to rally support for the crews. Karen Barnes is a former volunteer and current EMS provider in Northampton County. She knows the plight of a firefighter all too well saying,"They're not just out there all night long fighting the fires, when they fight the fires they still need to go home, see their families, they still have to work their everyday 40 hour a week plus jobs."She put out a plea on her virtual yard sale page on Facebook called Eastern Shore Trash N Treasures. She writes, "With all of us feeling the effects of the arson's in Accomack County I feel like we need to do something to give back to all of those that are spending countless hours days and nights out there to protect us. These men and women are out fighting fires for hours and hours night after night day after day. It does not matter if it is raining, snowing, hot, cold, day, or night these people still go out. After the fires are over when they get back to the stations their work is not done......I am looking for my Eastern Shore Trash N Treasure Family to step up and donate things to help these wonderful people keep going. Things such as Coffee, Hot Chocolate, Creamer, Sweet n Low, Sugar, Coffee Cups, Regular Cups, Water, Gatorade, etc....Please find it in your heart to help these wonderful people keep going. As of now we have Pocomoke Animal Hospital, Contours in Exmore, and Tangled Salon in Exmore as drop offs. I will keep you updated as more come in. Thanks in advance for your donation."The plea went out on Thursday to almost 9,000 users and by Friday answers and donations were already flying in. Barnes also reached out to Wal-Mart in Onley, Virginia. She says the store quickly jumped on board to donate, and that was just the beginning."They called me and said you might want to bring more than just your car and come with a truck, because we have a large amount of stuff. Some of the employees have taken out of their pocket ad have bought more than just the water and Gatorade," says Barnes.On Friday, she met with the President of the Parksley Volunteer Fire Company, Fred Matthews. She was able to fill the back of his truck with supplies for his crews.Matthews says, "We don't have a lot of food on our unit. The other night we went to McDonalds and we purchased 100 cheeseburgers at the Whispering Pines fire just to feed the guys because everyone was going to be there so long."Matthews says the Fire Company sends a rehab unit to almost every scene to keep crews safe during those long hours. "We do full rehab, as far as replenishing the body with drink, coffee, water, whatever is needed, to warm people up, whatever it needs we'll have a crew there to take care of it . . . Some of these scenes, you're there for a long time, you need some food. But most of the time it's basically Gatorade, water and in my and a lot of other cases, coffee."Wal-Mart is joining businesses like Pocomoke Animal Hospital as a drop-off point for continued donations. They say they will have donation bins set up as long as it is needed.Matthews says, "This will go a long ways to replenish what we had, and hopefully we don't have to use this stuff, but if we do, we'll be there."Drop off sites include:Wal-Mart in OnleyPocomoke Animal HospitalContours in ExmoreTangled Salon in ExmoreCycle Creation in New ChurchHighway Market in New Church Arcadia Nursing & Rehab in GargathaQuail Run Assisted Living Facility in Nelsonia

I appreciate/ share his perspective. It is long, but read just the first two months of his journey. 2. T-Nation is a great publication that has experts in a fitness fields write in articles promoting targeted areas. When I started reading in '08 you would see one article a month slamming Crossfit. Now I read a weekly article from proponents of the sport. Its has been exciting to watch the change of mind set. As more of these specialists grow into the sport, the coaching and technique will only improve.
Powerlifter, Olympic lifter, and bodybuilder Christian Thibaudeau became a CrossFit athlete for three months. Here are the lessons he learned.
If you thought that a master's life was a life of success after success, you'd be mistaken. A master's life is a life, as said in Zen, of Shoshaku Jushaku, or "succeeding wrong with wrong."In other words, a master's life can be said to be one of one continuous mistake. This can also be seen as a life of single-minded effort.I'd worry more about the person who thinks he doesn't make any mistakes. Know you might only make mistakes. If you can stop worrying about trying not to make mistakes, you are free to learn the lessons of every action you take.Knowing that a life of single-minded effort is a life of one mistake after another is not necessarily being cynical and resigned.

His selections: Roberto Alomar Jeff Bagwell Bert Blyleven Kevin Brown Barry Larkin Edgar Martinez Mark McGwire Tim Raines Alan Trammell Larry Walker The result impresses but the process is even better. Be sure to click through and read his thorough rationale for each candidate. Can you see why we're excited to have Davidoff write the Foreword for the 2011 Amazin' Avenue Annual?
Newsday.com recently went to subscription-only, and while there's little worth reading there apart from Ken Davidoff's columns, if you're a Cablevision subscriber with an Optimum Online login you can still get access to Newsday's online features for free. Just click on the link above and select "I am an Optimum Online® subscriber" from the option list.
This is the column the mainstream media has resisted writing. Per Davidoff: Contemplate whether you're giving your team its optimal chance to win with Manuel running the clubhouse, writing out the lineup card and making in-game, on-the-fly decisions. For based on what we've seen for the past baseball season and a half, I'm not sure how you come up with "Yes" as the answers to those questions. This isn't a fun column to write, because we media folk are mostly human, and Jerry Manuel comes off as an eminently likable man. Davidoff recognizes that Manuel's strong relationship with the media has earned him some goodwill. Imagine if Manuel had the personality of Joe Girardi or Willie Randolph. He would be the target of daily tabloid headlines calling for his head. A good read, click through for the full version.
Takahashi is a 40 year old lefty reliever. He's posted a 0.77 ERA in 11.2 innings with AAA Buffalo, striking out 9 and walking 6. On Oliver Perez, David Lennon at Newsday adds: "Team officials immediately gathered after the game to talk about their next roster move and that could involve skipping Perez's next turn before demoting him to the bullpen."
From David Lennon of Newsday: "It was a lean-and-mean Marlon Anderson who showed up at Tradition Field this morning. Anderson is down to 202 pounds - he lost 17 during the offseason - and owes it mostly to an "isogenic cleanse" he did at the start of October. It lasted for 25 days and during that period Anderson limited himself to two shakes and one lunch not more than 600 calories." Granted, the phrase ITBSOHL (pronounced "it-be-soul") is not actually used but close enough.

I'm so excited to share this tutorial with you because for a couple of years now my friend Sarah and I have been making wrist strap keychains for our own use (they are so handy!), for friends, for teacher gifts, and even for craft fairs. There are other tutorials out there, but I have gradually experimented with different sizes and techniques until I came up with this perfect (IMHO) design. Why is it perfect??? Well, it fits the 1" swivel clip exactly, you can sew it up in a snap without breaking any needles, it comes in two sizes (both made with exactly the same fabric pieces), and you get to mix and match your favorite prints!
Of course I hope you'll have lots of fun with this tutorial sewing your little heart out on wrist strap keychains.
But I'm also going to use it to reduce my own alarmingly sized stash of designer fabrics.
Because who likes cutting? Wouldn't you love to just 'cut' to the sewing part on a project for once? So I put together a {limited number} of keychain kits using some of my absolute favorite esigner fabric combinations. Each kit has everything you'll need to make two keychains. You can see them in the new {SEWCANSHE Shop} now or later... let's get to the tute!
To make two wrist strap keychains using two coordinating fabrics, you'll need:
- four 3.75" x 12" strips of fabric (two of each fabric)
- two 2" x 3.75" strips of fabric (one of each fabric)
- two .75" x 12" strips of heavyweight double-sided fusible interfacing (I use Peltex 72F)
- two 1" swivel snap clips (available at joanns and michaels)
Of course, the kit comes with all of this and I'm in the process of adding more and more fabric combos as I sort through my stash.
So after cutting (or opening your cute little kit from me <3), separate out one of each long strip print. Fold in half the long way and press. Then open and fold the edges toward the center and press. The edges should come about 1/8" from the center, but they don't have to touch it. Fold along the center crease and press again, like a fat piece of bias trim.
Stack your strips with the piece of Peltex in the middle.
Take care that the center folds of your strips are on opposite sides.
Now you will carefully press your stack with a hot iron to fuse the layers. Press one side and then the other.
Okay, I think you're ready to start sewing! Set your stitch length a bit longer than normal. I use a 4 here. You'll need a medium to heavy sharp needle here, about a 90/14.
Topstitch 1/8" from both edges on the side that you want to be the outside of your keychain.
Trim both end of your strap to cut off any threads or uneven fabric.
Put the swivel snap clip on now. I know, you can't see it in the first picture, but it's pushed over to one side.
Set your stitch to the widest zig-zag you have. Form a circle with your strap by butting the ends right up against each other. Sew a zig-zag stitch right down the center. Backstitch to hold it together during the next few steps.
Now grab one of your small (2" x 3.75") fabric strips. This is where you decide what sized hand the wrist strap will fit. Fold the long edges in toward the center and press. If you want a small/medium strap, stop now. If you want a larger sized strap, fold piece in half lengthwise and press again.
Fold your strap in half with the zig-zaggy seam near the top. Wrap your small fabric piece around it, tucking the raw edges inside. If you are making a larger sized strap, keep your seam and little piece as close to the top as you can comfortably get it.
Topstitch a square (small/medium size) or rectangle (larger size) over your little piece. I like to use the topstitching lines on the strap as guides for the sides of my square or rectangle. Be sure to neatly backstitch so this part holds.
And here is what the two different sizes look like. The small/medium size has about a 8" diameter opening and the larger one has about a 10" diameter opening (both depending on where you sew your little strip).
Done, yay!
kay, here's more about the kits! I opened the all new {SEWCANSHE Shop} just for them. I'll be going through my stash and adding fabric combinations that I love. They're all designer fabrics, of course (could I give you anything less?), and when something runs out, that's it. I probably won't be getting more. I might order more swivel clips when I run out, or this may be it. Who knows.
Each kit contains everything you need to make two Wrist Strap Keychains. Shipping is the same whether you order one kit or twenty so if you want more mixing and matching options, order multiple kits!
Don't hesitate to email me if you have any questions. I can't wait to imagine you sewing on my favorite fabric!

Firefighter pensions row continues (From Wandsworth Guardian)

Firefighter pensions row continues
Updated 7:16am Monday 5th May 2014 in News © Press Association
Firefighters have staged three days of strikes over the Bank Holiday weekend in a long-running dispute with the Government over pensions, with no sign of any breakthrough to the deadlocked row.
The Fire Brigades Union said support for the walkouts in England and Wales was as strong as ever.
General secretary Matt Wrack called on the Government to stop "playing games" and renew efforts to resolve the dispute.
He said: "Yet again firefighters have shown the strength of their anger over government attacks on their pensions and have been united in standing up for a fair, workable and affordable deal.
"It's very disappointing that we've been forced to hold another three days of strikes but nothing will deflect firefighters' resolve when the future of their families - and the fire and rescue service itself - is at stake.
"Just like the current bout of industrial action, future strikes could be avoided simply by the Government honouring current pension promises and releasing proposals for the future that reflect the discussions we've held over the last three years and take account of the evidence we have presented about our occupation.
"Surely it's now time for their games to stop and common sense to prevail?"
Fire authorities made alternative arrangements for fire cover during the strikes, including hiring contractors or using part-time and retained firefighters.
The FBU maintains that firefighters are having to pay higher pension contributions, face working into their late 50s before retiring and could be sacked because their fitness declines as they get older.
A Communities and Local Government spokesman said: "The deal on the table gives firefighters one of the most generous pension schemes in all the public sector, and the proposals protect the earned rights of a higher proportion of members than any other public sector scheme.
"Nearly three-quarters will see no change in their pension age in 2015."
The Government denied union claims that ministers had drawn up alternative proposals six weeks ago, but had been "sitting" on them ever since.

I think that these pension contracts should be honoured, but at the same time we must make sure we are not falling into the same trap by offering similar deals to new recruits.
New firefighters should not be allowed more favourable pension schemes and earlier retirement ages than other workers. If they are deemed to unfit to do a frontline role past 50, surely there is some training, maintenance, or back office role they can do until they are at a decent retirement age?
The key thing is that new firefighters need to go into the job knowing what pension is on offer. It would seem unfair to promise one thing and give something completely different.

If they feel they cannot fight fires at 50 then surely they could go onto the admin side or even training other firefighters !!

helen59 wrote:I do think it is a difficult question, and I certainly don't think that the firefighters will do themselves any favours if they go with the 'lives on the line' argument - that is very true, but not at all relevant. The only relevant argument here is that they were promised a pension on those terms and that is what they have worked 20+ years to acheive.
As much as I support the firefighters I am struggling to understand why they think they should be treated so differently to other people. There are other people who put their lives on the line for us each day and I do not see them coming out pensions etc. etc. could someone please tell me why the firefighters think they are so different ? If they feel they cannot fight fires at 50 then surely they could go onto the admin side or even training other firefighters !!
Of course, there has been a ratcheting down of everyone's pension. How many people started paying into the state pension on the understanding they'd get it at 65 but because of government financial mis-management that is 67-68 already for a lot of them?
What is happening to the firefighters pension agreements seems much more fierce and severe than that. They have to accept their share of the pain along with everyone else, but it is hardly their fault that the pension terms were far too generous in the first place.
I do wonder what it will do for recruitment. Firefighting is a hard job for not great money, and the only real upsides have been that it is a career that allows you to supplement your income on the side and a fantastic pension that is paid out very early. Take that away and will we struggle to get people into the job?

LiberalsOut says...
Eventually they will have to be phased out
The "I was promised this 20 years ago" arguement does not hold anymore - nothing stays the same, as those of us with private pensions have found out to our cost, while paying towards the public sector pension pot.
Maybe then we can ALL have a decent State Pension?

LOUISVILLE, KY. (WDRB) -- Investigators have uncovered a crucial clue in a death and fire that started during a swat standoff on Wednesday.
The coroner tells WDRB News that a man inside the house died from a self-inflicted gunshot wound. But they won't say whether that person is the violent criminal the swat team was after.
Meanwhile, on Thursday, the scene was still swarming with activity. "They've lost everything," says Mary Stevenson, whose granddaughter lost her home.
Stevenson is helping her granddaughter salvage what she can from her burned out townhouse.
Stevenson says, "She's trying to save what she can of her clothes, but all of her son's clothes and things are destroyed; we could not save anything."
The home is next door to the Campbell Street townhouse that caught on fire during the swat standoff on Wednesday.
"She was here and they knocked on the door and woke her up and told her she had to get out," says Stevenson.
Police went to the home looking for a man they considered to be a violent criminal.
"There were numerous violent warrants. Some were some outstanding warrants for drug possession and also for some shootings that this individual was involved in," says Dwight Mitchell, LMPD spokesperson.
Once inside the home, police say the suspect shot at officers, that's when swat was brought in. A short time later the building went up in flames.
"We're developing a lot of different theories as to what could have happened," says Major Henry Ott, with Louisville Fire & Arson Unit.
Fire investigators returned to the scene Thursday morning hoping to learn how the fire started.
Major Ott says, "We're looking at everything from possible damage by the suspect to a fire set by the suspect to other possible ignitions."
Fire investigators do know where the fire started, though.
Major Ott says, "The fire definitely originated inside the building and it originated on the second floor."
Despite knowing how the man inside the home died, neighbors are still pretty upset. Especially now that they don't have a place to live.
"Seem to me it could have been a better way," says Stevenson. "So now she's thinking I'm back to step one...what do I do now?"
Fire investigators say it will be at least a few weeks before they know how the fire started.

Henrico Humane Society Receives Gift from Beath Foundation
Henrico Citizen Staff Reports 11/19/10
The Henrico Humane Society (HHS) announced today that it had received a grant from the Jessica Beath Foundation. The foundation also agreed to a matching gift program for donations made to Henrico Humane Society through February 2011. The Beath Foundation's mission is to provide for general charitable purposes, most notably the care and rescue of animals.
"This generous grant from The Beath Foundation will allow us to help animals in desperate need of expensive medical care which we may not have otherwise been able to afford," said Courtney Morano, Henrico Humane Society president. "We are grateful for their support of our organization, which operates solely on donations, volunteers and fundraising."
As a result of the grant, HHS recently was able to save Beatrice, a puppy rescued from an animal shelter and diagnosed with persistent aortic arch condition, which requires open heart surgery. Dr. Lori Pasternak, with Helping Hands Veterinary Surgical and Dental Care, performed the surgery which saved Beatrice's life. The society intends to provide medical care for many other animals as a result of the new grant.
Jessica Beath started The Beath Foundation in 1991 to honor the memory of her husband Dr. Thomas Beath, her parents Mr. and Mrs. William Thomas and her sisters Annie Thomson and Beatrice Stockdale. She died this year at the age of 106.

'Planes' sequel crashes
'Fire and Rescue' proves too predictable, boring
Planes: Fire and Rescue opens with a dedication to the hero firefighters of the world. It's an admirable notion, and it makes sense, given that this is a film about planes that fight fires.
But here it might be a little out of place, as Planes: Fire and Rescue has a few things on its mind besides supporting the men and women who routinely throw themselves into burning buildings.
Like money. Lots and lots of money – into the 11-figures-and-counting range. In case you weren't aware, 2006's Cars was the biggest moneymaker Disney had in decades – not because of how much green the film printed at the box office, but because a combination of toys, games and snack foods stamped with the Cars seal of approval routinely pulls in tens of billions of dollars per year. > Read more.

Baltimore Orioles outfielder Luke Scott, who has been bothered by a labrum problem in his shoulder for most of the season and has been trying to play through it, was placed on the 15-day disabled list today. Scott has a torn right labrum.
Scott also suffered a knee injury when he ran into the outfield wall in Baltimore during the Birds' recent series with the St. Louis Cardinals, according to the Sporting News.
Replacing Scott on the active roster for Baltimore will be 25-year-old righthanded pitcher Mitch Atkins, who signed with the Orioles last offseason after several years in the Chicago Cubs' system. Atkins has made 14 starts at three levels of the Orioles organization this year with a 1.12 WHIP and 3.18 ERA and just six home runs allowed in 82 innings. For the Cubs in 2009 and 2010, Atkins posted a 5.25 ERA in seven relief appearances covering 12 innings.
Atkins will make his first major league start Tuesday night against the Rangers at Rangers Ballpark in Texas. The move gives the Orioles a 13-man pitching staff.

By analyzing historical sales growth rates for both companies, the answer is in 2023, just 11 years from now.
I like to distill our economy's complex transition from store-based retailing to web-based retailing into a more easily understood battle between the Titans of Retailing: Walmart, which dominates store sales, and Amazon, which dominates e-retailing.
At first blush, it seems hard to compare the two at all. In its fiscal year 2012 (ended Jan. 31, 2012), Walmart's global sales totaled $444 billion, making it the world's largest company in terms of revenue. If Walmart were a country, its economy would be the world's 28th largest, just ahead of Austria and South Africa. By comparison, Amazon finished 2011 with sales of $48 billion—about one-tenth that of Walmart's sales. If these two are the Titans of Retailing, Walmart deserves upper case T and Amazon a lower-case one.
Amazon Grows Four Times Faster Than Walmart
Yet, this is not a matter of where these companies are today. It's a matter of how fast they are growing into the future. In the last 10 years, Walmart has grown at a compounded annual growth rate of 8.24%. Amazon, by comparison, has grown at 31.4% per year for the last 10 years—almost four times as fast as Walmart.
In Walmart's defense, it's fair to note that it's harder for the world's largest company to grow at an Amazon rate because it's operating from a much larger base. The best small companies typically grow faster than the best large ones for that very reason.
But what if we looked back to when both of these companies were small. That would have been when they each went public and barely registered on any business analyst's radar. In the year before it went public in 1970, Walmart generated total sales of just $31 million. (Today it sells that much merchandise in about 18 minutes of operation.) When Amazon went public in May 1997, it had just reported 1996 sales of only $16 million.
From Start-Up to $48 Billion in 15 Years
At the end of its first 15 years as a public company, Walmart had stunned the retailing world by generating sales of $6.4 billion. That was a stunning achievement for a retail chain—easily the fastest growth rate ever recorded by a retail chain. But it pales in comparison to Amazon's growth in its first 15 years as a public company. During that period, the Seattle-based web merchant grew from a standing start to $48 billion in annual sales—fully 7.5 times the size Walmart reached after its first 15 years as a public company.
That brings us to projecting how these two titans of retailing will grow during the next 15 years. In my presentation at last week's IRCE 2012 conference, I projected Walmart's growth during the next 15 years at 9% per year, which is slightly faster than its actual growth rate in the last 10 years and assumes a gradual economic recovery.
In contrast, I projected Amazon's annual growth rate at 30% during the next 15 years. Before you suggest that such a rate is way too generous, consider this. Amazon grew at 31.4% per year in the last 10 years, but its growth actually accelerated in the last five years to a CAGR of 35%, even as the U.S. economy weathered a Great Recession and a tepid recovery. Here's another consideration: In its second 15 years as a public company, Walmart grew at a compounded annual rate of 23.6%, which equates to 55% of its annual growth during its first 15 years as a public company. If Amazon's growth rate slows in its second 15 years as a public company in the very same manner as Walmart's growth did in its second stanza, Amazon would still grow in its second 15 years at 39%, or just over half of its first 15-year growth rate.
Why Walmart's Focus Must Be Online
Given this context, projecting Amazon's growth at 30% per year for the next 15 years seems more than reasonable, and some might say even conservative. And if these 15-year growth projections are accurate—30% for Amazon and 9% for Walmart—then Amazon becomes a larger company than Walmart in 2023, just eleven years from now.
I'm not saying this will happen, but it is clearly where the trend lines are leading. And you can bet this is exactly the scenario Amazon wants to happen. Its strategy does not envision playing second fiddle to Walmart or anyone else. Walmart's challenge, of course, is to prevent this projection from being realized. But in order to do that, the Titan of Store Retailing must make online retailing its top priority, because the days of rapid growth of store-based retailing are over.
