Heartland viewer Scott Faughn, publisher of the SEMO Times:
"I never quite understood the concept of Mike Smythe's ViewPoint. I thought it was a way to curry favor with special interests or his personal rant that didn't carry much meaning. However, after the ViewPoint on traffic (speed) cameras I think I get it…the totalitarian politicians who promote the (cameras) should be more honest and just raise taxes instead of these fundraising schemes. The fact that we, as a society, permit this is an indictment on all of us and kudos to (Smythe) for speaking out."
Dave Pinkley from St. Genevieve, Missouri:
"Mark McGwire was wrong taking steroids. Even if it did make him stronger you still have to see the ball before you hit it…he still deserves to get credit for hitting home runs. Babe Ruth was drunk a lot of the time… (McGwire) is not a serial killer; he is a man who did wrong…like Pete Rose, give him credit for what he did on the baseball field…"
Don Melton from Piedmont, Missouri:
"My mother, who is in her 80's, tried to get DISH TV. She was turned down because she had no credit. She is from the old school that says if you do not have the money to pay for it you do not buy it. Has this country gone crazy or is it me? Why are people turned down just because they owe no one?"

Bouncing May Be Bad for Your Email Marketing Health
Emails bounce for a number of reasons. A subscriber's email server may be too busy or perhaps offline and therefore unable to accept mail. These are known as "Soft bounces" and your email marketing service provider will continue to try and deliver your message over a period of a couple of days. There is little risk involved with soft bounces. "Hard bounces" on the other hand are incredibly dangerous.

Ease of Use
I have been on Gilenya for 2 years and I felt it was working well until I ended up with cancer in my spine and lung. Not knowing if the cancer is Gilenya related my Neuro took me off the drug. After the cancer treatment is over I do plan on starting Gilenya again as my main M.S. treatment.

Reviewer: Hopeful, 35-44 Female on Treatment for 1 to less than 2 years (Patient)
Ease of Use
Super easy pill! However I developed shortness of breath when on drug. Started about one to two months afternoon drug. Dr did not relate shortness of breath to expiration/ asthma type problems until after a year of miscellaneous tests. MRIs have been well and drug appears to work. Package is difficult to open if you have hand difficulties.

Reviewer: WaterKat, 45-54 Female on Treatment for 1 to 6 months (Patient)
Ease of Use
My right hand had been numb and painful for over a year, since being on Gilenya, I have full tactile sensation in my right hand and arm, not so much yet in the left side. It has not, however, had a positive impact on my fatigue levels. The ease of the oral dosing makes it well worth having to take another med for that.

The Texas Rangers were the Official Mystery Team of the 2012 trading deadline, as they swooped in at the last second and acquired Ryan Dempster, who has been the Cubs' best pitcher this year.
The 35-year-old Dempster is having the best season of his career, sporting a 2.25 ERA in 16 starts, and striking out 83 in 104 innings, walking just 27. He was reportedly already dealt to the Braves, but he rejected the deal. The Dodgers and Yankees were the other two teams reportedly in play for the right-hander, and the Rangers were rarely -- if ever -- mentioned. That's why they're mystery teams, people.
The Rangers signed Roy Oswalt last month, but he's been horrible so far, with a 6.49 ERA in six starts. Add in Colby Lewis undergoing elbow surgery, and it was clear the Rangers were interested in bolstering their rotation, though not desperate. A pending free agent like Dempster was likely a lower-cost option than what they were exploring with Matt Garza and Zack Greinke.
According to Ken Rosenthal, the Rangers will send two A-ball prospects to the Cubs, one pitcher and one position player.

Michael Johnson's story is still being told, currently highlighted by an addictive (if not obsessive) goal to improve.
But that wasn't always the case.
Prior to the 2009 NFL draft, work ethic and a questionable motor were highlighting predraft analysis that may have dropped Johnson out of speculative first-round projections. SB Nation's Dan Kadar wrote in 2009:
Motor has been inconsistent throughout his career. Still has a ways to go against the run. Possesses the frame of a basketball player, which he was in high school. Susceptible to cut blocks. Some speculate he should move to outside linebacker for 3-4 team, but he might be too much of a project in that role. Good strength, but could get stronger in his torso.
Scouts, Inc wrote:
...work ethic and commitment to improving have been questioned as times.
Not only have those questions been long been answered four years later, his offseason ambition to improve is starting to become common knowledge. Gaining muscle over the offseason last year translated into increased sack production and better conditioning. Currently Johnson is improving his flexibility, while keeping the same regiment from last year that helped him add bulk.
"I'm still doing still the same stuff, but this year I'm working on more flexibility; staying loose and being mobile for as many weeks as we play," he said.
Growth isn't just ambitious for the game, but his life after it. For the past two years, Johnson has returned to classes at Georgia Tech and he's close to earning a Business Management degree. But as Joe Reedy with the Cincinnati Enquirer noted, Johnson missed Cincinnati.
"I wanted to be back up here. That was real tough. I just was ready to be back to football," Johnson said. "Everyone had that itch to get back going and working with your teammates, get back to going through football stuff.
"I was working out and stuff, but it's not the same as when you are with your guys and getting better together. That is why I love football so much, it is the ultimate team sport. It was good to be back."
A close group with Johnson, Geno Atkins, Carlos Dunlap, Robert Geathers and Domata Peko, has generated a chemistry that Cincinnati hasn't been accustomed to for years. One of the team's first goals during the offseason was bringing the entire unit back, re-signing Geathers, franchising Johnson and re-upping Wallace Gilberry, one of the newest kids on the team (save for the draft picks). Even Devon Still, a second-year player from the 2012 NFL draft, is spending some of his offseason working out with Atkins. And it's not just the defensive line. It's been happening all over the place since 2011.
Michael Johnson loves it in Cincinnati. Loves his teammates. Words that fans appreciate, adding weight to such fascinations into a greater emphasis of fandom because they're loving the same team we cheer for, part of the same city that most of us live in. Johnson shows that this team is more than just the player. It's the team. And that's just one of the reasons fans have fallen hard for this roster.

It's heartening to see lots of local families feasting here: a sure sign something good is going on in the kitchen.

Together, we can create positive change and progress in our global community!
"There is not another institutional education system we are aware of that is doing anything like this. In terms of combining the heart with the mind, [Rollins] has crossed boundaries and opened up gates to bridge the academic setting with the real world."
Linda Grassa
Orange County Commission on Aging
Rollins believes the only way to truly educate students for a diverse, complex, and changing world is to invite community partners, leaders, and citizens to serve as partners in the educational process. OCE believes that community asset is essential in preparing young people to lead in the 21st Century in all aspects of community life. Community members are co-educators along with our faculty and staff in teaching students about the greatest challenges and opportunities of our time. Each year, OCE partners with over 250 non-profit and civic organizations throughout Central Florida (and beyond) through academic projects, such as service-learning and research, community service, internships and immersion experiences. Students, faculty, and staff are involved in community impact areas from the environment, poverty, and the arts to immigration, youth education, senior adults, and public health.
Non-profit community organizations that have opportunities for Rollins students, faculty, and staff to become engaged with community issues, events and volunteer opportunities are invited to contact the Office of Community Engagement. Opportunities that meet the educational mission of Rollins will be listed on the events calendar on the OCE website and through the Engage!Rollins electronic newsletter that goes to all students, faculty, and staff six times a year. Academic partnership opportunities (research and service-learning) are sent to faculty interested in similar topics and experiences.
Non-profit organizations looking to develop new relationships/partnerships with Rollins are encouraged to meet with an OCE staff member to discuss opportunities to build a mutually beneficial relationship grounded in learning and action. OCE will conduct a site visit and needs assessment with community organizations looking for ways to effectively partner with Rollins through student-learning opportunities.
Non-Profit Community Organizations can also get involved in promoting learning opportunities with OCE in the following ways:

Bungling Basildon Tesco robber attemps to steal a car... but ends up with a sandwich
Updated 2:54pm Thursday 13th February 2014 in Local News
A BUNGLING robber attempted to steal a car... but ended up with just a sandwich.
The crook approached a man who was washing his vehicle at the Tesco petrol station on the Mayflower Retail Park, off the A127 in Pitsea, at around 11pm On Friday, January 10.
He demanded the victim hand over his car keys and any cash he had, but then punched the vehicle owner before running off.
The suspect then stole a bag from the car, which just contained a sandwich.
The wanted man is described as white, aged 18 to 23, with stubble.
DC Andy Rowley, of Basildon CID, said: "At the time that this happened the petrol station shop was shut but this is close to the main Tesco store which is open 24 hours and I am hoping some late night shoppers might have witnessed this incident or seen the men responsible in the area at the relevant time."
Witnesses should call 101.

Wow so that's what a Sandwich looks like! They say you learn something new everyday thanks Echo!
You never know there might be some poor old 'saddo' out there who collects pictures of sandwiches and this could be just the one that he's been looking for ages.
Mind you, he'll have some way to go to beat the collection at http://www.shutterst

The car was a distraction, the main target WAS the food, what after all the taxes taken they were unable to buy food, as a last resort the perpetrator was just hungry, rather than beg, he took the tasty sandwich then shared it with their family.

Three suspects in the kidnapping and murder of a Longview man were indicted for capital murder by a grand jury.
Sarah Haslam, 20, Daniel Jones, 19, and Andrew Norwine, 21, have been indicted for capital murder in the death of 27-year-old Ronnie Gammage.
"One of the basis of the capital murder charge is they committed kidnapping along with the murder. So kidnapping is included in the indictment," said Upshur County District Attorney Billy Byrd.
Frankie Gammage, Ronnie's mother, said she is pleased with the indictments.
Jones and Haslam were both arrested on Norwine was arrested on December 19. Norwine was apprehended on December 25 at Fort Polk in Louisiana.
According to Sarah Haslam's probable cause report, Gammage was paying one of the suspects to return property stolen from him by other parties. After being unable to cash the check, Haslam and the other suspect located Gammage at the Waffle House in Longview. During an argument, one of Gammage's truck tires was cut.
One of the suspects then lured Gammage into Haslam's car and Haslam drove Gammage, Jones and Norwine to a construction site on Tryon Road half a mile north of Loop 281.
At this site, Gammage was beaten by the three suspects. Fearing they would be seen by passing motorists, they drove to a wooded area off of 259 North. Haslam said Gammage was removed from the car and waked into an open field. He was made to sit on the ground and was beaten again. Haslam then claims she returned to the car, leaving Gammage in the hands of the other Jones and Norwine. The two suspects then moved Gammage into the edge of the wooded area.
According to Jones' probable cause report, Jones then took out a knife and cut Gammage's throat, which he believe killed him. Then Jones said he poured gasoline on the body and set it on fire.
Both Haslam and Jones took authorities to find Gammage's body.
Haslam, Jones and Norwine are still in jail, each on a $1.3 million bond - $1 million for capital murder and $300,000 for kidnapping.

SPOKANE, WASH. - Police believe they may have in custody the man responsible for randomly murdering an innocent woman who was simply walking her dog back in May. He's identified as 17-year-old Avondre Graham. As of right now Graham is only charged with assault and robbery following his attack on woman with a mallet on the Centennial Trail. It is possible that murder charges could follow if police determine for certain that he was involved in the Sharlotte McGill murder.
A city maintenance worker witnessed the crime and followed Graham. Graham then jumped in the Spokane River trying to get away from police but eventually he was arrested on the shore. In their questioning of him police also determined they believe he is responsible for another crime on a trail, but this one is much more serious and it goes back to late Spring. A little after 8 a.m. on Thursday, May 3rd, Sharlotte McGill was randomly attacked while walking her dog on Tuffy's Trail.
Tuffy's Trail is right next to McGill's apartment, just off the 1800 block of E. South Riverton. At the time, McGill screamed for help and made her way up the street where a nearby construction worker heard her cries, rushed over, administered as much first aid as he could and called 9-1-1. Medics arrived moments later and transported the victim to an emergency trauma center where she died of her injuries.
McGill's dog was unharmed in the incident. Immediately after the emergency call, Spokane Police brought in additional resources to the area, including more officers and a canine unit in an attempt to locate the suspect.
But their initial search didn't work out so that started an investigation that lasted a little more than four months. Because the incident happened so fast, McGill was only able to give a small description of her killer. She said he was "African-American" and she said that he had a bad eye. That's all police had to go on. McGill had a daughter who she lived with at the Riverpark Apartments, next to the crime scene.
After her mother was fatally wounded her daughter Billie McKinney wrote on her Facebook page: "This is Billie McKinney I want to thank everyone for their support, my mother deeply loved you all in her special way. Thank you everyone for all the fun she had with you, and please just be good to everyone, love with all your heart, and remember her with a smile. much love."
KHQ remains committed to staying on top of this story and we will bring you the very latest on the newsbreaks at 10, 12 and 2 as well as tonight on KHQ Local News at 5 and 6.
OFFICIAL UPDATED PRESS RELEASE FROM THE SPOKANE POLICE DEPT: At 4:40pm yesterday Spokane Police Department received a 911 call that a man had jumped in the Spokane River after attacking a woman near the Centennial Trail by Mission Park.
Officers responded within minutes and located the victim, who had obvious injuries to her face and head. She told officers a man came up and began assaulting her with some kind of weapon, took her cell phone and the jumped into the Spokane River. A witness who observed the attack called 911 and followed the suspect, updating police as to his location.
Ofc. Chris Bode and several other officers quickly responded to the river area described by the witness and located the suspect along the east side of the river in bushes, near 1200 N. Madelia.
The suspect, a 17 year old black male, was booked into Juvenile Detention for 1st Degree Robbery and 2nd Degree Assault. SPD Major Crimes Detectives continue to investigate this incident and its connection to the Sharlotte McGill murder.
The suspect matches the description provided by McGill of her killer and detectives believe there may be a connection between this assault and the homicide.
Police believe there are additional witnesses to the McGill homicide and are encouraging them to come forward with information. There is a reward being offered for any information leading to the arrest of the suspect in the McGill homicide. Citizens are urged to call Crimestoppers with any information.
SPOKANE, Wash. – A woman was attacked while jogging on the Centennial Trail, specifically near Witter Pool, Thursday afternoon.
According to Spokane Police, a teenager attacked a woman with some sort of mallet while she was on the trail.
She then yelled out for help and an area maintenance man chased the teenager in to and across the Spokane River.
He was taken into custody on the other side of the river near the area of Mission and South Riverton.
That woman is being taken to the hospital to be checked out. It is unclear right now what charges the teenager will face.

comfortable but need a 5-10 minutes blowing by manpower. The more you blow in, the more comfortable.
Great pad!
August 26, 2010
For your money this is the best way to go ultralight in comfort. It packs down next to nothing, is very comfortable, and has a high quality fill valve. On the downside, it takes a lot more effort to inflate than say a Thermarest and it will likely puncture more easily. But for the dollar per gram and comfort, you can't beat it.
March 23, 2010
The pad tends to slide on my slick tent bottom. It takes a good while to inflate but has a great cushion of air when you are done. Small, light, and affordable what else can I say.
Mostly comfortable
June 23, 2008
Not sure about the durability but comfortable enough. You can blow it up in about 5 minutes without too much dizziness. Packs down small.
So good my kids stole it!
March 11, 2011
I had been using a trail lite self inflating pad when I purchased this to have a little more cushion since I am a big guy. The first time I used it I was with my two daughters. They think it is great I spent theh night on the trail-lite. I will have to order another one for me.Pros: Build quality, Ease of use, Great value
Durable product
June 03, 2012
This is the perfect sleeping pad for anywhere. The fabric proves to be durable as I have slept in a tent, on rocks, grass, dirt and elements of weather! While you have to be patient or involve a team member to inflate (especially at higher altitudes), it is worth the wait. Deflating is easy, and the zigzag fold makes rolling it up to fit back in the bag easy as well. Small, light-weight.Pros: Great design, Build quality, Lasts forever, Performance, Ease of use, Great value
Excellent quality and value
October 25, 2011
I own three of these sleeping pads for the family and have taken them camping many times. Even after using them on rocky terrain the pads have proven their durability. While prices fluctuate these pads seem to be generally better value than their competitors. I am 5'11 and the regular size fits me just fine.Pros: Build quality, Ease of use, Great value
Nice Pad
March 29, 2013
Bought this pad for an upcoming DIY Elk hunt. I liked the fact that it was super easy to inflate. It packed down to about the size of a big coffee cup. My 2 year old son did the honors of testing the durability. He jumped, ran, bounced and played on it for about an hour with no harm inflicted to pad or child!!! Great product!!!Pros: Build quality, Ease of use

A Fulton County homeowner is shaken and grateful to be alive after suspects fired shots at him during an attempted burglary early Thursday morning. It happened at a home on Stillrock Drive. The homeowner, who does not want to be identified, spoke with FOX 5's Portia Bruner on Thursday. He says around 2 a.m., he heard several knocks at his front door, followed by someone ringing his doorbell several times. By the time he got there, he found no one on the other side of the door.
That's when he says he realized two men had scaled his six-foot fence to try and break into his home. He says they fired one shot that hit his back door, and a second that came through the screen and grazed his torso. He was not seriously hurt, and is doing fine. The homeowner tells FOX 5 it's very frustrating that someone would attack him in his own home, but he'll do what's necessary to protect himself and his property. He's warning his neighbors to be on the lookout for any suspicious activity around them.Police are still searching for the shooter. The homeowner says he didn't get a good look at either of the suspects, and could only tell police that both men were about 6 feet tall and were dressed in dark clothes with hooded sweatshirts. Anyone with information about this case is asked to call the Fulton County Police Department.

PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE lets remove
Macias,Kasperzak and Means....look around at what has been built,if you need more evidence come see the Pulte development along Ferguson Drive.!!
Regardless of whether they voted this monstrosity through they were on the council when the motions were passed.
Macias the highest claiming expense mayor in MV history!!
Don't vote for these folks and our city will be better.

Some people feel the same way about the Whisman Station Project. It's nice to be a NIMBY once you get your home and try to exclude others. The density of the Pulte Project is less than the density of the recent construction at Whisman Station.
on Aug 15, 2008 at 10:27 pm
Mayor Means has done an outstanding job in leading our community to only support development that makes sense, and has talked and worked with many of the residents involved to mitigate the impacts.

You are Correct!
That's what I get for trusting wikipedia. You are absolutely right, and prompted some deeper research. [Before I corrected it, the blog post said "Silver Dollar" was one of Haw's nicknames...]
In "Silver Dollar, the Story of the Tabors," David Karsner reports that William Jennings Bryan, the Politician and speechifier famous in the latter part of the 19th century, visited the Tabors shortly after their second daughter was born on January 5, 1890.
Hearing the baby gurgle, Bryan exclaimed: "Why Senator, that baby's laughter has the ring of a silver dollar!" The Tabors hadn't decided on a name yet for the girl, and this was the inspiration for what her name finally came to be: "Rosemary Silver Dollar Echo Honeymoon Tabor."
After working as a newspaper reporter in Denver, Silver Dollar was ready to write her novel, which propelled by her famous name, would catapult her into fame and fortune.
Moving to Chicago, and living on the super-cheap, she set to work. Karsner says: "The best that can be said of Silver's book is that it was printed - not published." It was wildly unpopular.
Silver Dollar worked her minor celebrity for all it was worth, but after a string of burlesque and "acting" jobs, she came to a bad end. The one-time "Girl of the Nile," says Karsner, liked heavy drinking and "Happy Dust." Going by the name of Ruth Norman among many other aliases, after the men who supported her, she died at the age of 35, in 1925, by spilling a large kettle of boiling water on herself while she was extremely intoxicated.
Sorry about the sad ending. Thanks for the correction - I'm going to go edit wikipedia now...

Great room, very cozy, quiet. We stayed in room 904, it is a suite, we had very positive expirience and will try to stay here again if price is affordable. Thanks to Scarlet Huntington hotel staff for making our stay very pleasant.
Great Friendly Staff Quiet location with great views
Our bathroom was a little bit on the small side, but our friends next door had a large bathroom.
Room decoration and lobby. Staff are very nice and friendly
Large rooms, curtesy car. Friendly floor staff.
Snooty, inattentive staff in the overrated and overpriced restaurant.
Friendly attentive staff, great location cable car stipps outside at top of hill and leads to famous mymi diner!, luxury spacious room large ebough for family. Great for exploring city. Lovely spa, relaxing small pool and a useful gym everything you need provided.
Breakfast a little pricey but reliable quality ( check out mymi for a great diner?) others within a few blocks downhill.
I liked the staff of Scarlet Huntington. The receptionists are great, and the room is always clean. The hotel also offers a complimentary service, to drive us around the city, which was very useful. The driver, Ursula, is extremely nice.
I liked this hotel a lot. Maybe the price is a bit expensive, but except for that, nothing to complain about.
The location, staff and facilities.
Everything, from Ulysses the doorman to Lori in the Big 4 bar, the staff is truly accomodating. The room decor is off beat yet striking and comfortable. The small scale makes the hotel intimate, the service makes it luxurious.
The windows, although probably new, could offfer better sound quality.
The majority of the staff were absolutely amazing
After a very long day we got back to our room and were hungry we ordered food delivered as there was no where close, we ate and went to bed 10 minutes later there's a knock at our door saying its security, and to open the door and talk to them, well it's 3am I'm not opening the door, had to call front desk as they did not inform us of security coming to our door, they said there was a disturbance at this room, security made us feel as though we had really done something wrong. We did not! I was so upset at this that I never slept the rest of the night. And I complaned the next morning, they said they would look into it no one ever got back to me, I had to complain again that evening still no response. The worst I've ever been treated at a hotel
Lovely hotel with a great piano bar, huge room, and a fabulous spa. It's the kind of place you wish you had more waking hours to enjoy.
Paying for WiFi. In this day and age, internet access access is a basic necessity, like water for a shower. Why do hotels treat it like an added bonus we should pay for? There was a huge TV in the room that we never turned on, and for us, was such as waste.
The doorman in the evenings was so excellent. Wish I knew his his name - perhaps Jason? He greeted us by name each day and made my 8 year old daughter feel special. Excellent service.
comfortable beds and wonderful linens
"retro" decor...LOVED the old, stately decor in the previous Huntington!
Location was great, but you need to be able to walk up the steep hills of the city. We were upgraded to a fantastic suite at no extra cost and it was wonderful. Beds were super comfortable and the room was quiet.
There was noting that I didn't like.
Location was fantastic in heart of everything.
No internet in the rooms, needed to go to lobby to get free internet. Parking was very expensive at $54 a day.
Nice spacious rooms with good size sitting area. Very clean, modern furnishing and bathroom. Good location right on top of Nob hill.
Parking $52/day, extra bed $30/night, Wifi $15/day... Come on, these things are free at places costing a quarter of the Scarlet.
Spa was very nice. Room was upgraded to a very nice suite. Bed was very nice. Easy to get around Hotel. Good restaurant.
Air - Con not working . Too hot to sleep and too much road noise for open window. Didn't sleep. When told front desk they didn't seem to care.
Breakfast not included and expensive Parking not included
A top quality hotel that offers everything you need and more. The staff are the friendliest I have met on a 6 week journey of the USA and that is a real compliment as the competition was high. The hotel is a REAL 5 star experience in every aspect of its operation. Keep up the good work!!
The cold wind in San Francisco in July, it was the only thing the hotel couldn't fix :)
I was put in a lovely suite. I enjoyed it very much. Also dinner at "the four' was very nice and food good
Everything was great
Very expensive parking
The staff was friendly and helpful. Everything was clean. We loved the location it was quiet.
The room was great and huge!!! Concierge very helpful and friendly.
The fact you had to pay for wifi! The room was a little dusty.
The location is excellent. The large suite we stayed in was newly remodeled and ultra posh. The views were first rate.
Had to pay extra for wireless service. Valet parking price a little steep at $46/day plus tax.
All new towels and linens were good quality. The hotel has just been remodeled. Staff is very nice.
Big gap in bottom of door with adjoining room. After I stuffed a towel under the door it was much better.

A Sylvania Township family is living proof that smoke detectors save lives.
A week before Thanksgiving of 2012, the Tuites lost nearly everything in a fire. But they say they owe their lives to a smoke detector. For that, they were honored by the state fire marshal's office.
Just before 11:30 p.m. on November 15, the family was asleep when the smoke detector in their home went off. Dawn Tuite heard the alarm and awoke her family. They grabbed two pets in arms length and, with no shoes or blankets, went outside to call for help.
Fire crews arrived in minutes, but the house was burned to the foundation. A third pet made it out safely, as did a few family pictures and the wedding rings Dawn and her husband Joe share.
The state honored the family Tuesday for having working smoke detectors that saved the one thing they can't replace -- their lives.
Smoke detectors are available for free at the Sylvania Township Fire Department.

To the editor:
We all love the back-and-forth on the Opinion page.
But when a letter writer is simply and factually wrong on an issue in the news, I believe the Times has a responsibility to point this out, and I believe that was the case with a letter that appeared last week (the Times, Tuesday, Oct. 8).
The Kirk for Mayor event at the Gloucester House was a political fund-raising event for a politician, in this case Carolyn Kirk.
Admission was open to those who bought a ticket. It was absolutely not a meeting of city employees or city committee members. It was absolutely not an event that could in any conceivable way be subject to open meeting laws, which Mayor Kirk, of course, follows scrupulously.
The letter writer is simply wrong when he asserts that the Brown Act in California, or its Massachusetts equivalent, the Open Meeting Law of 2010, apply in this case. They do not.
Whether or not you agree with her, Mayor Kirk had every right to ask Mr. Bell to leave what was really a private function.

While driving around looking for a close parking space at the mall so my girls wouldn't have to hike it through the cold and snow, I saw two large spots open, waiting for me. There were no handicap parking signs in place, so I thought I lucked out and found a great parking space right up front.
As I quickly turned the corner, even hopping the curb in my haste, heading in the opposite direction of the arrow painted on the lot hoping no one would beat me to the spots, I saw in large letters on the parking spot: For Electric Vehicles. There it was, right up front, two spaces for people to charge their electric cars.
Since my 16 mile per gallon S-U-V doesn't fit the bill of "eco-friendly" I wound up parking in what seemed a distant land only to walk past the empty spaces. Which were also empty an hour later on my way out.
Had I been driving the 2012 Chevy Volt, I would have been able to park there, plugged in and somewhat recharged for the drive home all while shopping.
Before I get into my thoughts on the Volt, we need to clear up concerns regarding the car catching on fire.
The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration has closed its investigation into whether the Volt will catch on fire after an accident. GM's chairman and CEO said testing by government regulators resulted in fires "after putting the battery through lab conditions that no driver would experience in the real world." GM is adding steel to the plates to better protect the batteries, and hopes the fix will help people feel better about not catching on fire.
Feel better now? Good
The Volt is classified as an Electric Vehicle. But unlike a few other electric powered rides, the car also has a gas engine. Go all electric and you're cruising around 30 miles between recharges. Run her on gas and you're looking at 40 mpg on the highway and 35 in the city with about a 372 mile cruising range. So yes, a road trip is possible.
So when I picked up the Volt on West Lexington in Elkhart, it had 12 miles left on the charge. Not quite enough to get me to Mishawaka and do a little running around.. I cruised on electric, shifting over to gas power on the bypass. No problem, the onboard gas generator fires up. According to GM, this will produce electricity so you can put an extra 375 mile on the trip meter. That's plenty of miles to do what I need to do before I can get home and plug her in, granted, not the most economical way for an electric car to get around.
So when I was done using a total of half a gallon of gas, I plugged the Volt in using the standard household 110 cord. The little icon on the dash said it would take about 10 hours to get a full charge. We'll I had a little more running around to do in a few hours so that would have to do. Two hours gave me 7 miles of electric running around which got me where I needed to go and back. So I plugged in for the night to get a full charge. It's recommended you get a 240 volt charging station installed and I think it would be a good investment as you can reach a full charge in 4 hours instead of 10.
My next trek to work then back to the dealership was all electric. So after adding the half gallon of gas with electric miles, the final tally on my mpg, 92.3. Not too shabby is it? When you do need to put some gas in the tank, make sure you use premium. The reason, according to GM, is you'll get better mileage when running on fuel, and since gas could be sitting in the pressurized tank for a while, premium will not break down as rapidly.
So what else does the car offer beside great fuel economy? With the exception of the giant "Volt" decal on the side, the car offers up good looks, at least when it comes to uber-economy cars like the Prius and Leaf. I also like how GM has stepped up the quality of their interiors. I know I mentioned this with a few other GM cars I've driven, but it's worth mentioning again. The materials are nice fabrics, plastics and leather and are no longer gappy or rattle loose.
The seats are comfortable, and for the driver and passenger, a good amount of room. Getting 2 more passengers in the rear bucket seats means adjusting the front seats forward…manually by the way….to give them a livable amount of legroom.
The hatch opens up nice and wide and can swallow a good amount of cargo. Underneath it all is where you store the 110 plug so you can get a charge anywhere you have electricity.
You can get the Volt in a number of trim levels; I had a top of the line version offering up every gadget and goodie Chevy could cram in there including a thumping Bose stereo. I do think the center stack was very busy with an interesting concept when it comes to adjusting things such as your climate, radio, nav…etc… Instead of knobs or dials, there are these little bean shaped, touch sensitive buttons. It takes some practice and getting used to in order to use effectively. There are so many of these little buttons, you need to take your eyes off the road to find what you need. It's not my favorite way to control what you need, but you can also do everything on the large touch screen.
The ride is surprisingly quick, very quiet and nimble for this class of car. With 273 lb/ft of torque on tap in an instant, the car has some scoot to get up to speed and get you around slower moving, less economical vehicles.
The one thing that is not too economical about the Volt is the price. The car starts around 31 grand and by the time you load it up, like the one I was driving, came in just over 46K. But remember, you also get a $7500 tax credit. By contrast, the MSRP on the Nissan Leaf is 35K and the Prius starts around 23 thousand.
The car created a ton of buzz when it first came out, so how successful has the Volt been? General Motors says in 2011, 7671 Volts found owners. In January of this year, only 603 cars were sold. Both which are disappointing numbers for GM.
That's too bad because it is a good car with a lot of nice features. Yes, it's expensive and the same 46K gets you into an Audi A4, Mercedes C class, even a BMW 3 series. It all comes down to how you want to spend your money and where you want your carbon footprint to be.

If you have a steak medium to rare, such that it's still pink in the middle, is it kosher? At what point is meat cooked enough?
I'm assuming you are talking about steak which has been processed under rabbinical supervision.
Presently, in the US, with the exception of liver, all meat is salted to remove problematic blood by the certifying agency before it hits the stores and restaurants. So meat which is edible does not have to be cooked "enough" and rare is fine.
What Monica answered above, that it is 'meat juice'. To find out in much greater detail about this, see here:
This, based on the gemara in Chullin 113b.
Chabad says that what's left in the meat after it's been kashered is juice, not blood, and ok. No sources cited, though I've heard this from a number of people (for what that's worth).
There are a lot of answers being presented, some decent and some, no offense guys, seriously lacking and/or confusing. What they all have in common, though, is that they all leave out (though YDK's mentions it somewhat vaguely) the fact that cooking has nothing to do with the Kashering process. Yes, we could get technical and discuss ways to roast meat in lieu of salting, etc., but the question is clearly based on the faulty premise, probably due to a misunderstanding, that meat needs to be cooked 'X' amount to be Kosher. It does not.

How to increase my revenue for my Agency
Dear All,
I am currently thinking (for the past month) about any increasing my clients/revenue for my Translation Agency. How can I achieve this? There must be defiantly someone on this forum who has a vast experience in doing this.
To be honest, we already have had 2-3 long-term clients but we want to take it to the next level. There other agencies who have countless amount of works from prestigious clients (leading bank and other industry companies), how did they manage to achieve that.?
I was thinking about paying a marketing agency in Germany but I am wondering if that will work and how much it will cost (currently on a tight budget).
I will be translating the website into 10 languages, start our own blog while we already have twitter and LinkedIn integration and the website is highly attractive.
To put you into the picture daily website visits are of around 20-90 vists. Unique vistors from over 72 countries.
I was also thinking about publishing some ads on my website. If this is a good idea, shall I go for PPC or per impressions.?
Your Answers/Advice are highly appreciated.

Hi Azzbroker,
As a small business, before proceeding with any marketing plan or tactics, make sure your website has a prominent lead generation form together with a thank you page so that you can track which marketing channel, whether it's PPC, blogging or SEO, is working for you.
Even if you are going to hire a marketing agency, focus your KPIs on the leads generated rather than on clicks or impressions because leads are the closest to generating revenue for your business.
Starting a blog and venturing into content marketing is good but you need to come up with a plan on converting blog readers into subscribers and then into leads or potential customers. You can read more about this here: http://unbounce.com/conversion-rate-...or-conversion/ and watch these videos: http://socialtriggers.com/increase-b...ersions-video/

Upcoming Events
Back to doubles and random format for the month of August.
Meet at the basketball court near Jay Lively at 4:30, we will try to tee off by 4:45. Check out the latest McPherson handicap averages.
Here is how it works:
The first time a player comes out, he/she establishes their handicap (average) for the course. The cost is $1 and that player is not eligible for prizes that day. After you have an established handicap, the cost per league is $5. At the end of the round, all the scores are entered and everyone's handicap is calculated. We pay out the top 40-45% each week in new discs and other prizes.
Every other week we use one of two methods to determine the groupings (usually foursomes). One week is random draw and the next is sorted by average scores so the groupings are tournament-like.
So, if a player is averaging 58.5 (+4.5) and shoots a 54 (even par), then his/her result for that league is -4.5
Here are the current averages at McPherson:http://flagstaffdiscgolf.org/
After a player has ten recorded scores, the system drops the highest and lowest, averaging the remaining eight. If a player averages under par (which is 54), their remaining handicap is 80% of their average. For example, is a player averages 5-under 49, their handicap is 50.
We are now paying out in a tiered system. Before the payout, the field is divided in two according to handicap scores. The top 40-45% of each field is payed out.
We usually have a closest-to-the-pin prize and an optional ace pool and birdie club.
Back to doubles and random format for the month of August.

Waitrose removes beef meatballs
Waitrose has removed two batches of frozen beef meatballs from shelves after traces of pork were found after several tests.
Waitrose remove beef meatballs containing pork
Waitrose have removed two batches of frozen beef meatballs from shelves after "several tests" revealed they contained traces of pork. Waitrose said:
We have discovered that in two batches of our frozen meatballs produced last summer some of the meatballs may contain some pork. Several tests have been done on this product and, even though the results have been contradictory, we have taken the precautionary action of removing the frozen meatballs from sale and putting up customer information notices in all our branches.
The meatballs are safe to eat but pork is not listed as an ingredient and should not be part of the recipe.
PM: Horsemeat retailers 'must find out what happened'by Libby Wiener - Political Correspondent
The Prime Minister's spokesman insisted this afternoon there is 'no evidence' of any risk to public health as a result of the horsemeat scandal. He also dismissed suggestions that a change in EU regulations on the use of meat stripped from animal bones had triggered the crisis.
With three days to go before the results of extensive tests on meat products are known, he said that David Cameron believed it was up to retailers and meat suppliers to get to the bottom of what had happened.
At today's Cabinet, ministers apparently expressed their support for the Environment Secretary Owen Paterson's handling of the crisis.
Changes in regulation responsible for horsemeat scandal?
A leading food scientist says the rule change that sparked the horsemeat beef scandal affected lamb products too, and they should be tested.Read the full story
Did a change in policy spark the horsemeat scandal?by Chris Choi - Consumer Editor
One of Britain's most prominent food scientists has told ITV News that recent changes in regulations sparked the horsemeat scandal. Dr Mark Wolfe, worked for 25 years as a government food Scientist - including The Food Standards Agency.
Today he told us that a change in rules "must have contributed to a large extent to this situation". Dr Wolfe says a shift in policy last year meant a type of burger meat produced in the UK could no longer be used, forcing producers of value meals to buy overseas.
The policy change did not only effect beef - but also lamb, so Dr Wolfe also believes those products should also be checked.
Labour demands more meat testing
Labour today called for faster and more extensive testing on meat imports in a bid to stamp out problems which caused the horsemeat scandal.
Shadow Environment Secretary Mary Creagh condemned the Government for breaking up the food standards regime.
She said every time processed meat moved there was a "moment of risk" of potential illicit contamination.
The Opposition Day debate in the Commons came as more cases emerged of horse meat being missold in processed food sold by British retailers.
Met Police 'do not have sufficient information' to begin horsemeat investigation
Metropolitan Police Commissioner Sir Bernard Hogan-Howe has said the police do not yet have sufficient information to start an investigation into allegations of criminal activity relating to horsemeat contamination.
We've talked to the FSA and what we've asked them to do is to give us any evidence that they've got of a crime, and of course we will investigate.
People have got suspicions, I think the minister said there are two broad options, which is either negligence or criminal conspiracy.
They are the options, but of course we can't investigate to see which of the options is true, we just need some information to help us.
Secondly it sounds like there will be a jurisdictional issue. If there is a crime, is it one that has been committed within the UK, or is it one that has been committed abroad?
When we've established those two things, we will know whether or not we take any further action.
There has to be some evidence or intelligence at least on which to base an investigation. At the moment there's clearly suspicion, but not enough yet to start off an investigation.
MPs were today debating food adulteration in a House of Commons debate called by Labour.
Environment Secretary to speak to EU countries over horsemeat scandal
Environment Secretary Owen Paterson will travel to Brussels tomorrow to speak to counterparts in EU countries and consider the wider EU implications of the horsemeat revelations.
Earlier today, Paterson met representatives of supermarkets and food suppliers.
'Lessons learnt' by government over horsemeat scandalby Libby Wiener - Political Correspondent
There will be a 'lessons learnt' exercise in government when the horsemeat scandal is over, the Prime Minister's spokesman said today.
But he denied there had been a failure of regulation.
Tesco admits horse DNA in Spaghetti Bolognese
Tesco said one of its ready meals, not just its frozen burgers, contained horse DNA.The meal in question was the Tesco Everyday Value Spaghetti Bolognese. The horse DNA content was more than 60%.Today the government minister in charge defended his handling of the crisis.
ITV News' Deputy Political Editor, Chris Ship, reports:
Butchers react to horsemeat scandal as sales soar
Butchers say they are selling up to 30% more in the wake of the horsemeat scandal as supermarket chains including Tesco, Iceland, Lidl, Aldi and frozen foods firm Findus admitted they found horse DNA in some of their products.
Paul Gyorgy, from the Sheepdrove Organic Farm shop in Bristol, said increasing numbers of customers are now taking an interest in where meat is sourced.
He said: "You have the odd joker coming talking about horse meat in supermarkets, but most customers are genuinely interested in where their products are coming from.
"People know they can trust British. You go to any butcher's shop and they will tell you exactly the journey the meat has taken to get to the shop.
Steve Brown, who runs a high street butcher's shop in Saltash, Cornwall, said: "I only use westcountry meat, from Devon and Cornwall, because I can be assured of the quality. Even though it is more expensive, it's what the customers want, too. They know it will be good quality.
"But companies are always trying to sell me meat from Saudi Arabia, Botswana, Romania. It might be more expensive, but people can trust British meat."

33 Pound Cat
Jim Carter
WFRN Air Staff
Posted: Tue Feb 21, 2006 7:44 am
A 33-pound cat in Qingdao, China, is being described as a "feline monster" because of its 31-inch waist and large size, according to a report. The 9-year-old cat from the Shandong Province is so heavy it needs the help of its owner to get onto a bed. However, the cat is in surprisingly good health despite its weight.
The cat's owner said it has no interest in eating fish but prefers to eat six pounds of chicken and pork each day.
This fat cat is not alone in his weight problem, according to the report. Obesity has become a serious problem for the modern cat, primarily due to a lack of exercise and a richer diet.
Cats are susceptible to a range of illnesses including kidney trouble and diabetes, if they are allowed to remain overweight.

YORK — Perhaps Chad Hill took a risk committing to play football at the Air Force Academy in January, despite never having visited the school. But when Hill finally did make it out to the academy in Colorado Springs, Colo., later that month, it only confirmed what he already was thinking.
"You get the best of both worlds," he said Wednesday at York Comprehensive High School's National Signing Day ceremony. "Top of the line academics, some of the best in the nation, and at the same time playing Division I football in the Mountain West Conference. So, you can't beat that."
Hill signed his national letter of intent to attend Air Force on Wednesday, joining six other Cougars. Lee Wright and Beau and Hunter Nunn all signed with Appalachian State, Rominique Mobley chose Hutchinson Community College, Shamal Sanders signed with North Greenville, and Spencer Carroll opted for the first-year program at Limestone.
The group's leadership was a central catalyst in the Cougars' 10-3 season, the school's best since 2001, and none of the players fulfilled that obligation more than Hill.
"He was an exceptional leader out on the field, not only verbal but his actions," York football coach Bobby Carroll said.
After moving to York County from San Diego as an eighth-grader, Hill spent his first two high school years at Clover, before transferring to York his junior year, a decision he described as one of the best he's made.
"He's an incredible football player," said Carroll. "He came in from Day One and did everything we asked him to do, and really more."
Hill, a 5-foot-10, 190-pound safety, was second on the team this year in tackles (118). He also had 16 pass break-ups and made four interceptions in a ball-hawking Cougar secondary. Hill and Wright were nightmares near the line of scrimmage for York, using their speed and smarts to hunt down ball carriers or dupe quarterbacks into ill-advised passes.
"He's, I don't know, 185 pounds, but he played more like a 200-pounder," Carroll said. "Size in football sometimes is really deceiving."
Besides, it's becoming ideal to have smaller, more rangy defensive back/linebacker hybrids to combat increasingly common spread offenses in the college game. A 6-foot-4, 240-pounder that was once a linebacker is now a defensive end. Carroll dismissed Hill's size as being an issue in the secondary at the Division I level.
"The one thing in recruiting that they can't do is measure a kid's heart. He's just got an extremely strong passion and will to work."
Hill's mental approach to the game should mesh with Troy Calhoun's Air Force program.
"Playing with these (York) boys, you get roughed up a little bit," Hill said, laughing. "It's definitely my kind of football."
His highlight film made its way all over the country, courtesy of the York coaching staff, and once Air Force's interest was formalized, the recruitment moved forward. Defensive line coach Ron Burton made two in-home visitsin January to pitch the school and its obvious benefits. Burton, a North Carolina-Chapel Hill graduate, and Air Force head coach Calhoun both have coached in the NFL, no doubt an enticement to Hill, while defensive backs coach Steve Russ also has roots in the Carolinas.
Hill committed to the school without having seen the campus, but a visit came the weekend of Jan. 19. He loved the clean, crisp Colorado air, the jagged peaks of the Rockies just behind the school and the world-class facilities. He was also pleasantly surprised by how close the Falcons players were.
Hill had offers from Holy Cross and Colgate. But Air Force's total package ultimately trumped the northeastern schools.
"As parents, that's what we were looking for," said Chad's father, Boysie Hill, who joined his son and wife, Catherine, on Wednesday. "The education was first, the football was last."
"We're very proud of him, very proud," said Catherine. "I think he can handle it academically. He has AP classes and honors classes and does really well."
There is the matter of the spartan existence that Air Force plebes lead, one replete with eye-watering early mornings, isolated hardships in the wilderness of Jack's Valley (Google it), and an endless regimen of rules and regulations. Hill didn't seem fazed though.
"It's gonna be different, but I think I'll get accustomed to it," he said.
Boysie and Catherine Hill's fathers were both in the military, so the lifestyle is nothing new for the family.
"As long as you get up in time, you won't have any problems," said Boysie, who served in the Navy. "Stay disciplined, and Chad will do that."
