Red Fox Comics brings comic books and merchandise to Delta Township
Wednesday, July 30, 2014
Daniel Rust wants to foster the personal connection people often feel toward comic book characters. And he wants to do so through a retail environment that's bright, casual and fun.
In early to mid-August, the lifelong fan of comics will open a 1,600-square foot store in Delta Township that caters to the casual fan as well as the aficionado. And the location at 723 Brookside Mall, Rust says, makes
Red Fox Comics
an easy stop for people en route to popular restaurants, retailers or home.
"A lot of people feel intimidated when they go into comic books stores for fear they might say something wrong or be corrected," says Rust. "My store will be a casual place for people of all ages."
Red Fox Comics will carry all new comics from trusted names like Marvel, DC, Dark Horse and IDW, as well as graphic novels and trade paper backs from the same or similar publishers. Customers will also find casual apparel like T-shirts, hoodies and caps, and merchandise and memorabilia like key chains, magnets, pins, mugs and other pop novelty items.
Rust devised his business plan with the
Michigan Small Business Development Center,
then worked with his father-in-law to deck-out the store with customized shelves and fixtures. Walls and trim will be decorated with a color scheme of green, black and white, or as Rust calls it "Green Lantern Green."
Rust says he's loved comics since middle school. Like many people, the Haslett native says he was drawn to comics for their storylines, and often sympathized with the strengths or weaknesses of particular characters.
"My favorite character is Aquaman," Rust says. "As a kid, I always related to him. I have red hair and was always singled out, and I felt Aquaman was too. I thought, 'Hey, he's a cool guy. So why not?' I was always swimming in the summertime, so that was that."

Web-based consignment shop curates upscale kids clothing
Wednesday, July 23, 2014
Two life events pushed Amy Mills to start her own business. The first was fostering and adopting an infant. The second was breast cancer.
"We had just started fostering Jeremy when we found out," says Mills, who has been cancer-free for six months. "The two things really pushed me to do something I had always wanted to do, and everyone was confident I could."
In March, Mills launched
Molly & Oliver's Children's Upscale Resale
with the guidance of the Capital Region Small Business Development Center. With local partners in Lansing and Portland, the web-based consignment shop curates children's clothing for newborns through tweens.
"When you're home taking care of kids you don't have time to go shopping," says Mills, who came up with the tag line 'live well, dress well' after reflecting on the challenges of building a wardrobe for her son. "Plus, it's hard to find nice clothes without having to spend a fortune."
Mills leveraged her professional photography skills to create the boutique website that showcases name brand and designer clothing like Baby Gap, Abercrombie Kids, Carter's, Jumping Beans, Ralph Lauren and Polo. Consignees can drop-off items at
Mother & Earth Baby Boutique
at 4601 W. Saginaw St. in Lansing, or at
Distinctive Occasions
at 160 Kent St. in Portland. Consignees receive 40 percent of the sales, and anything that doesn't sell is donated to
A New Beginning Pregnancy Center
in Charlotte.
Mills says if her business continues to grow, she may consider setting up a brick-and-mortar shop or moving into a space in one of her partner stores. For now, her base of operations is her home in Mulliken.
"Currently, my husband's man-cave has been turned into Molly & Oliver's," she says. "And as much as he'd like his man-cave back, he's been very supportive."

Family-owned auto parts company converts to NAPA brand
Wednesday, July 09, 2014
They say it's all in a name, but for Dick Seehase, it's also all in the family.
For 51 years, Seehase has been among the family members owning and operating
The Parts Place.
And while the Holt-based car parts company has spanned three generations and grown to nine mid-Michigan locations, the company prides itself on providing the highest level of customer service.
That quality of service, Seehase says, will be further ensured as the distributor of automotive parts and equipment switches affiliation from CARQUEST to NAPA, and adds an 18,000-square foot warehouse as the hub.
"It made perfect sense to go with a more traditional auto parts company," says Seehase of the changeover. "With our 50-year-old history and NAPA's 90, we'll be well-recognized and even more prepared to service our customers."
All eight stores will carry NAPA inventory and retain the nearly 60 professional staff who work in locations in East Lansing, West Lansing, Holt, Charlotte, Mason, Eaton Rapids, Williamston and Stockbridge.
The newly purchased warehouse on the corner of Waverly and St. Joseph will result in about three new staff joining the company. The space will also allow The Parts Place to carry about $2 million more in additional inventory to service all locations.
Seehase says the commercial market makes up about 70 percent of The Parts Place customers, with the remaining 30 percent coming from do-it-yourselfers.
"Years ago, lots of people could work on their own vehicles, but as the complexity has increased, we began servicing more commercial clients," says Seehase. "Our employees come from all different facets of the market, too, and know the business."
Seehase says The Parts Place changed affiliation in late April. He says he's anticipating the NAPA partnership will spur annual sales growth from about $9 to $15 million in the upcoming year.
"The NAPA brand name is one of the most recognized brands in the United States," says Seehase. "We're hoping to add more stores once we get our feet on the ground."

Mark's Gourmet Dogs embarks on new business life after win on reality TV
Wednesday, June 18, 2014
Mark McGee always knew every dog has its day. He just never guessed his day would air on national television.
As the winner of the 2014 Food Network's
Food Court Wars,
McGee and his wife Krysta were awarded a year of rent-free space to expand their mobile hot dog cart operation to a fully-equipped restaurant in the Lansing Mall.
While many people learned of the success of
Mark's Gourmet Dogs
through the reality TV show, McGee says his path was charted years before when he took his first business class at
Lansing Community College.
"I started at LCC with the idea of starting a hot dog cart," says McGee who had struggled through layoffs and diminished job prospects during the Great Recession. "LCC gave me the knowledge I needed to start a business. It was awesome. And it worked."
In 2009, McGee applied his classroom learning to setting up a food cart and bringing culinary flair to hot dogs and brats in Eaton Rapids. And when his son was born and his business took off, he and his wife started thinking about taking things to the next level.
"They'd already been talking about
Food Court Wars
when they came in," says Laurie Lonsdorf, Senior Business Consultant,
Michigan Small Business Development Center at LCC.
"But it was really iffy at that point, and they wanted to grow regardless of whether they made it or not. Ultimately, they knew they wanted an indoor location."
Lonsdorf began working with the McGees to identify locations and explore financing. She laid out checklists, provided suggestions on his business plan, and offered no-cost, confidential consulting about how the McGees could grow their startup venture.
"There's no way I could've done it without them," says McGee. "We needed their help no matter what happened, and when we found out we were on the show, things started rolling really fast. It's been quite a ride, but LCC and SBDC have been a great team."
When Mark's Gourmet Dogs took top prize and opened in the mall food court on May 30, Lonsdorf was there. She says LCC's SBDC will be to support and consult with the McGees on small business strategy as they hire four or more staff and enter the next phase of their business.
"Here's the funny thing though," says Lonsdorf. "While I couldn't wait to try Mark's food, I'm a vegetarian. I had the mac-and-cheese, coleslaw and Krysta's salted caramel ball. It was all great."

Go Greener plows the way toward expanded business
Wednesday, June 18, 2014
Grass grows. Spaces get dirty. Snow falls. Surfaces need repair. And that's where
Go Greener
comes in.
As long-time friends and experienced property managers, Russ Chambers and Mike Demmer launched the multi-tiered facilities management company in 2009. Starting with just three employees, Go Greener has grown to employ 30 staff, with plans to hire a half dozen more in 2014.
"It feels like we started a family here with our business," says Chambers. "We're involved in our community, too, and try to give back by sponsoring events at places like the YMCA and Peckham as much as we can."
Chambers and Demmer blended 20 years of combined experience to form a one-stop facilities management company that provides lawn care, janitorial and snow removal services, as well as asphalt repair and maintenance. The company's more than 100 clients includes schools, government offices, public buildings, manufacturing plants, financial institutions and retail centers, as well as a handful of residential customers.
"If you're a business owner and you use several companies for all these services, we can consult and provide you with competitive pricing for all three," says Chambers. "We also have that small business feel, and our customers say our response time is great."
Go Greener's base of operations consists of a 5,000 square foot office building and nearly 70,000 square feet of warehouse space on Lansing's north side. The company's fleet is branded with the company's logo and dispatch with professionally clad staff for all services.
Chambers says that Go Greener's lawn services grew 45 percent over last year. The company's janitorial services also climbed by 40 percent, while snow removal piled up a whopping 60 percent from the previous season. Chambers admits part of the growth was due to the exceptionally rough winter, and added that the company went through 1,000 tons of bulk road salt that they shared with other businesses.
"I truly think our growth is from the service we provide our customers," says Chambers. "Word of mouth has helped, we have good name recognition. But when people say 'these guys do a good job,' that's the best."

Group of friends decant dreams for new Portland microbrewery
Wednesday, May 21, 2014
What was a downtown theater in one life and a pottery shop in another will become what owners say is the only microbrewery between Lansing and Grand Rapids when
The Gallery Brewery
opens this June in Portland.
The Gallery, says operations manager Hannah Green, will be a warm, comfortable place where friends can gather to enjoy seasonal craft beers, wine, and non-alcoholic brews like cream soda and root beer—all made onsite. Patrons, too, can enjoy a healthy version of bar food including flat bread pizza, baked chicken, hummus, salads, and baked cauliflower with buffalo sauce.
"We want everything to be and feel local," says Green. "We're in a farming community and we want to draw from that. It's something we're really working on."
Green, her husband Jared, friends Joe, Neil and Al Mathesin, and building owner Rush Clement reflected on their hopes and aspirations one night and came up with the idea for Portland's new brewpub.
"We've all been brewing for a couple years now and have a real passion for it," says Green. "We just got to talking and liked the whole concept of The Gallery."
The Gallery takes it name from the local artists the brewpub will feature each month. Green says they already have eight months worth of artists lined up, and are working to secure musicians to play once or twice a week on a built-in stage.
Green says all club owners have been pitching in to renovate the 2,500-square-foot-space that will retain its high-ceilinged, industrial feel. Seating areas will feature couches, coffee tables and a bar for a total capacity of 80.
"I have a big family, so between all of us we are handling the renovations ourselves," says Green. "It's been a lot of fun."
The Gallery will employ six people for starters with more added as business grows.
"This is right up my alley," says Green who works in the hospitality field. "I like meeting new people. I like serving food and drinks. It's fun to be able to create an experience for a customer coming in. That's what we plan to do."

Buscemis franchise expands to Lansing, creates 10 jobs
Wednesday, May 07, 2014
Greater Lansing residents will find it's "hip to be square" as a popular Detroit-based party store and pizzeria opens its first Greater Lansing area franchise in Delta Township this June.
Known for its square pizza by the slice since 1956,
Buscemis Party Shoppe
is building a 5,000-square foot store from the ground up on the former site of Udder Creamery and Fannie Mae Candy. The brand new building at 4037 W. Saginaw will include three additional suites at 1,200-feet each.
"We're putting our heart and soul into this operation," says Steven Kesto, Buscemis manager of operations and Lansing franchise owner. "Lansing is an up and coming place turning Michigan around and we want to be part of it."
Kesto says the building's exterior of brick, stucco and expansive glass windows will make customers stop and say 'wow'—just like the great service and prices they'll find inside.
Buscemis will carry beer, wine and liquor as well as a full line of snack foods. About 25 percent of the floor and shelf space will be dedicated to craft beer, with customers being able to mix and match their selections. Made-to-order food is also available, including Buscemis fabled pizza, calzones, subs and salads.
"We also deliver," says Kesto. "We've heard that lots of hotels are excited about that."
Lansing's Buscemis franchise joins about 40 other Buscemis party shoppes in Michigan. Kesto says the Lansing store will employ 10 people for starters, with more staff added as business takes off.
"As they say, you build it and people will come," says Kesto. "We're hoping that to be the case."

Perfect Circle Recycling helps put waste to good use
Wednesday, April 30, 2014
Todd Wilson has never been shy about cleaning up and doing dirty work. In fact, he's building a business that helps haul away trash for a greener world.
Perfect Circle Recycling,
Wilson says, gives residents an option for recycling food waste, leaves and grass clippings through a personal hauling service that connects with environmentally conscious reuse facilities.
"There is a lot of food byproducts that are being landfilled that could be repurposed," says Wilson. "I see it all as a perfect circle."
Wilson started his company in 2011 from his home in southwest Lansing with a little bit of ingenuity, a truck, a trailer and bins. Working with a partner in the composting business, he helped Central Michigan University initiate a system to recycle food waste into compost, renewable energy or animal feed.
Today, Wilson is focusing on building services back home in Eaton County and Delhi Charter Township. Beginning July 1, he plans to launch a weekly service that involves hauling food waste, leaves and grass clippings from small businesses, restaurants or residents to facilities that can repurpose the debris. Those facilities, he says, include composters, anaerobic digesters, compressed natural gas providers, or qualifying animal feedlots.
Customers signing up for Wilson's hauling service receive a three-gallon bucket for in-house use, as well as a 96-gallon roller cart. His service runs $10 a month. Customers who prepay for six months receive a 15-pound bag of premium compost, while those who pay it forward a year receive a 25-pound bag.
Wilson's short-term goal is to grow his customers to 100 or more this year and to divert at least 100,000 pounds of food waste from landfills.
"It's a way you can become a steward of your community and be involved," says Wilson. "Basically, it's just about being green."

Construction underway for area's first Toby Keith bar and grill
Wednesday, March 26, 2014
Southern home-cooked fare, a country music atmosphere and live music from area bands set the stage for one of Lansing's newest dining attractions as
Toby Keith's I Love This Bar & Grill
comes to Delta Township this fall.
Lansing Mall
announced March 18
that the venue named for the 2003 hit single "I Love This Bar" will occupy an 18,000-square foot space now under construction near the Regal Cinemas.
Vice President of Marketing Melissa Heanue of Rouse Properties, which owns the Lansing Mall, believes the energetic and entertaining blend of music and food will make for a great lunch or night out. She says the Toby Keith's "new home" will add to the already high-profile lineup of Lansing Mall dining options that include the newly opened
Longhorn Steakhouse
and the upcoming Nestle Toll House Café.
"This is a unique destination tenant that enhances both our dining and entertainment offering," says Heanue in a prepared statement. "We believe it will serve as major attraction within the Greater Lansing area."
The restaurant will feature an 85-foot full-service bar in the shape of guitar, a stage for live entertainment, a dance floor, a glass-enclosed VIP room, two indoor 'barns" for private parties and corporate events. Notable menu items include pulled-pork sandwiches, meatloaf, fried bologna sandwiches and Southern fried Twinkies.
Toby Keith's boasts 15 U.S. locations, with five coming soon. The Lansing location will be the second in Michigan behind Auburn Hills.

Indoor Grow Store opens superstore, hires 14 employees in rapid expansion
Wednesday, February 12, 2014
For Alex Manuel, business is growing.
In July 2013, Manuel opened his
first Indoor Grow Store
on S. Cedar Street in Lansing. Then, a little more than a half year later, he opened his second Lansing area store at 3800 W. Saginaw Highway—one that is three times as large as the first.
"Six months from now, we'll be having this same interview," says Manuel, when asked about his
new superstore
that plots 6,000 square feet. "We are going to open up a store in every city in Michigan."
Manuel is driven to make the process of growing plants indoors simpler and less expensive, and says he discounts everything in his store by 40 to 50 percent. His stores carry most everything an indoor gardening enthusiast needs, including lighting, trays, soils, mediums, nutrients, and specialty tools and accessories.
Manuel's most prized retail item is very own magic trimmer—a patented hand-held device that speeds the trimming and harvesting of indoor plants.
"I'm a good farmer," says Manuel, who hails from Greece. "I farmed in my old country and here in Michigan and California. My father and grandfather and his father were farmers. I can give you the best things for your garden."
Manuel says he gave up farming because of age and because he is working on his stores. He invested about $200,000 to remodel the previous Shop-Rite grocery store on the corner of Waverly and Saginaw streets, and runs the shop with a staff of 14, including his son.

Ciena Healthcare Management expands footprint of Delta facility, adds 30 more jobs
Mohammad Qazi
Wednesday, January 29, 2014
Plans for a new rehabilitation facility in Delta Township have grown in scope after an enthusiastic reception prompted the health care company to take a second look.
Ciena Healthcare Management
is expanding the blueprint of the 78,000-square-foot Regency at Lansing West by several thousand feet to accommodate 120 beds—up 20 from the 100 announced at the December 2013 groundbreaking. The increase, says CEO Mohammad Qazi, adds $1 million to the $9.1 million investment, as well as 30 more full-time jobs.
"We're also excited that we're creating construction jobs during the building phase," says Qazi, who estimates the now 150 full-time staff jobs will bring about $6 million in salaries to the local economy. "The community response has been very positive. We're anxious to get open."
Regency at Lansing West is the first Ciena facility in mid-Michigan and joins a network of 34 other company-run centers in the state. The facility will be located on Broadbent Road off Interstate 96 and is slated to open in fall 2014.
The single story building will feature private and semi-private rooms, common areas, a restaurant with chef-prepared food, and a library, lounge and salon. Regency at Lansing West, Qazi says, is a departure from older health and rehab facilities built in the '60s and '70s, and mirrors the "medical hospitality model" in which customers are regarded as guests, not patients.
"Most of the guests we will have will be coming direct from the hospital for a couple weeks of rehabilitation, and will range in age from 60 to 70," he says. "Since we are looking to meet the needs and expectations of a relatively younger population, this will be a very different environment, with lots of amenities."

Students climb toward new careers at Lansing Community College
Matthew Dunham
Wednesday, January 29, 2014
The demand for line workers is climbing, and Lansing Community College is poised to help students reach new heights through a growing
Electrical Utility Lineworker Program
"I've heard figures from a local utility company that half of their line workers will retire in the next three years," says Matt Dunham, program director for the Utility and Energy Systems Program at LCC.
Dunham says about 53,000 jobs are projected to open up nationally for line workers before 2020, with median salaries of more than $63,000. In Michigan, about 100 or more jobs are expected to be available in 2014. The need for skilled line workers has bubbled up even more after record-breaking ice and snowstorms in early winter tested the response times of mid-Michigan utilities.
Last summer, LCC doubled the size of its line worker training program by opening the six-acre, $2.1 million Great Lakes Center for Utility Training with support from the Board of Water & Light. Three adjunct instructors were hired in 2013 and one in 2012 to facilitate training.
Since 2008, the LCC's line worker program has trained and certified more than 60 people through a school to work partnership with Consumers Energy. About 50 percent of those graduates have gone on to work at the utility, while others have secured employment through contractors associated with the International Brotherhood of Electrical Workers. The college also partners with the Lansing Board of Water & Light to provide classroom training for 12 occupational apprenticeships at the municipal utility.
Students interested in learning more about LCC's selective admissions program for utility line workers should attend one of three information sessions on Feb. 5, Feb. 17 or March 13. Further information is also available on the
program website

Zaytoon Grill to bring well-known family recipes with an American fusion twist to the Westside
Samy Aburashed, Zaytoon Grill
Wednesday, November 13, 2013
With the long-running
Sultan's Restaurant
and new
Saffron Grill
in East Lansing, the local market's love of the Samy Aburashed's family businesses has been tried and tested. This week, fans of Mediterranean cuisine will have another option with Aburashed's
Zaytoon Grill
opening on Elmwood Rd. near the Lansing Mall.
"I've been looking for the last two years on the west side," says owner Samy Aburashed, who is nephew to the owner of Sultan's Restaurant. "There really isn't anything authentic out there."
Zaytoon Grill will begin with a soft opening this Saturday and will be fully open by Monday. Aburashed says the menu will have similar recipes to his family's well- known cuisine, but with a twist.
"There will be a little modern touch to mine," he says. "I'm not scared to use a little more spice. It'll be a little different, with an American fusion to it."
The 2,800 square foot restaurant will open with seating for 50 and about 10 employees. Aburashed says he hopes to expand in the future, looking to increase the size of the restaurant, and perhaps add a banquet facility and bakery to the business.

Bordeaux serves up fine wines, local foods at the Crowne Plaza Lansing West
Wednesday, November 06, 2013
The dining room transformation inside the Crowne Plaza Lansing West was something more than a renovation; it's a whole new restaurant. Serving fine wines and made-from-scratch dishes,
is the result of the hotel's desire to give their guests the Michigan experience they were looking for.
"The more we listened, the more we heard the desire for an elevated dining experience on the west side of Lansing," says April Fitzsimmons, marketing coordinator for the Crowne Plaza. "It was also important for us to feature elements unique to our home state, such as Michigan wines and microbrews and the Timeless Timber used in the construction of our bar."
The renovation touched nearly every surface of the hotel's restaurant space, including features by those more than 100-year-old Timeless Timber logs, which were recovered from the Great Lakes. The restaurant includes private dining rooms, named for various wine regions, as well as the Cork Room with more than 70 wine options, including, of course, Bordeaux.
While already receiving positive feedback from guests, Fitzsimmons says the menu will continue to evolve with the seasons and tastes of the guests.
"Chef [Bradley] Lineweaver plans to transform the menu from time to time throughout the year, with the goal of keeping it fresh and creative," she says. "As he continues building relationships with in-state vendors, more and more locally sourced ingredients will make their way into his dishes."
Bordeaux plans to soon offer pre-order options for guests on the go. The restaurant employs a staff of 30.

CASE Credit Union celebrates opening of sixth Lansing location
Sara Walker, CASE Credit Union
Wednesday, October 23, 2013
CASE Credit Union
just won't seem to stop growing. The local organization celebrated the opening of its second
Delta Twp
. location on Oct. 16. The new branch brings the sixth branch to the Capital region.
"Our membership is up nearly 2,000 members, and our loan portfolio has grown by over 85 million dollars so far in 2013," says CASE Credit Union's Sara Walker. "We wanted to expand our footprint in Delta Township to better serve our members in that area, as well as all of the great retail businesses in that corridor."
The W. Saginaw location across from the Lansing Mall was chosen for its high levels of traffic. The new branch was designed with the assistance of renowned financial institution architects Daniels and Zermack Architects. The approximately 5,500 square foot building was created as a modern take on a credit union branch. Features include exposed steel beams in the lobby, exterior LED lights, vaulted ceilings with clerestory windows and arched canopies.
"The building serves as a highlight of innovative architecture on W. Saginaw Hwy.," Walker says. "The added Community Room, equipped with all of the latest technologies, creates an additional space for Credit Union events and gatherings."
The new CASE Credit Union employs a staff of eight and is expected to open for business by the end of Oct.

Lawsuit filed over assaultTHE ASSOCIATED PRESS | March 25,2013ST. JOHNSBURY A Vermont propane delivery man who was nearly bludgeoned to death by a mentally ill man with a wrench has filed a lawsuit against his attacker and the mans family.
Mike Kuligoski, 52, was attacked in 2011 by 23-year-old Evan Rapoza while working on a furnace in a St. Johnsbury apartment building. Rapoza was initially charged with attempted murder and aggravated assault for clubbing Kuligoski with a wrench, choking him with a belt and plunging his head into a bucket of water in an unprovoked attack.
Charges were dropped after Rapoza was diagnosed with paranoid schizophrenia and sent to a state mental health hospital.
Kuligoski filed a lawsuit late last month against Rapoza and his parents seeking money for medical expenses, lost wages, pain, suffering, mental anguish and loss of consortium.
The suit alleges Rapozas parents, John and Christine Rapoza, knew their son was dangerous and failed to warn or protect Kuligoski when he arrived to work on the furnace at the apartment house owned by John Rapoza.
As the parents of Evan Rapoza, and knowing his character and propensities, John A. Rapoza and Christine M. Rapoza had a duty to take reasonable steps to ensure that individuals around Evan Rapoza were not thereby exposed to an unreasonable risk of harm, the complaint says.
The Rapozas attorney could not be reached for comment.
Kuligoski spent 15 months in rehabilitation after the attack before returning to his Danville home last May. His injuries are so extreme that hell never be able to work again and will require constant medical attention for the rest of his life, according to the lawsuit.MORE IN Vermont NewsSlow Money Vermont to launch in Vermont Full StoryCOLCHESTER The Lake Champlain Chamber Music Festival opened Sunday with one of the most...

Phoenix Suns GM: Draft pick, depth led to Marcin Gortat trade
Originally published: Oct 25, 2013 - 5:10 pm
After all, the Phoenix Suns' roster needed a makeover, and new GM Ryan McDonough has shown no hesitancy to make it happen.
"It's a deal that came together, really, over the past week," McDonough told Arizona Sports 620's Burns and Gambo Friday. "We knew there'd be a lot of interest in Gortat."
McDonough said the 29-year-old Gortat, who had spent the better part of the last three seasons in Phoenix and averaged 11.1 points with 8.5 rebounds and 1.6 blocks per game last season, is one of the top 15 centers in the NBA. So, when Wizards GM Ernie Grunfeld called him up and expressed interest, a deal was hashed out.
"We've been going back and forth for a few days and you never know if a deal like this is going to get done or not," McDonough said. "We wanted a pick.
"We had, potentially three first-round picks in this 2014 draft that's shaping up to be one of the best in a decade, but we wanted to add one more if we could."
It was with that in mind that McDonough pressed to include the pick, and once the lottery protections were agreed to in a way that satisfied both clubs, a deal was struck.
But the desire to add another pick came at the expense of Gortat, who was penciled in to start for the Suns but was also set to become a free agent after the season. Because while Okafor is certainly a capable player when healthy, the fact of the matter is right now he is out indefinitely with a neck injury. And with rookie Alex Len still working his way back from ankle surgery, it would appear that second-year pro Miles Plumlee, acquired in the deal that sent Luis Scola to the Indiana Pacers, will get the nod.
"His emergence over the past few months since we made the trade with Indiana and his play in Summer League and preseason, that was one of the main reasons we decided to go ahead and do this deal," he said. "We feel like he's a starting center in the NBA."
Plumlee appeared in just 14 games for the Pacers last season, averaging 0.9 points and 1.6 rebounds in nearly four minutes per contest, but has impressed Suns brass since joining the team.
McDonough added that in Plumlee and Len he believes the team has two young, starting-caliber centers, and along with Channing Frye the team has enough depth to handle the position going forward.
As for Okafor, who averaged 9.7 points and 8.8 rebounds per game last season, he said there is no timetable for when the former number-two overall pick will be able to return to the court.

How to Avoid the 'Demons' of Summer
The Road Rager continued...
At high speeds, combat is not recommended. What else can you do to protect yourself from ragers behind the wheel?
- "Don't respond in kind," says Fiore. "Don't escalate it, because that makes them respond again; then you respond, and before you know it you have a real situation. Let them do what they're going to do and tell yourself it doesn't matter.
- "Change what is called your 'self-talk' -- what you say to yourself that causes you to get worked up," says Fiore. "When someone cuts you off, automatic thoughts enter your mind: 'What a jerk, he has no right to do that, and I'm going to get even.' You have to challenge that self-talk and remember it's not personal.
- "Realize that you don't know what's going on in their lives," says Fiore. "She could have just come from the doctor's office and gotten bad news, or he could have found out his wife is going to divorce him after 30 years."
With these dashboard tools, maybe you can get back on the road to summer fun.
The Bully
The public swimming pool is a haven for this dreaded summer demon: the bully. The kid who likes to torture those younger and weaker with dunking, cannonballs, and the worst possible thing that can happen to a kid in a bathing suit during the summer: the wedgie.
"A bully is someone who attempts in an aggressive and physical way to control another person," says Charles Figley, PhD, director of the psychosocial stress program at Florida State University. "Frequently, it's children who are bullies, and its learned behavior; it doesn't happen naturally."
A bully's personality blossoms when his parents tolerate his bad behavior with a lack of punishment, as well as frequent admiration and encouragement, explains Figley.
Here's how a parent can help protect a child from a bully so the whole family can enjoy its summer:
- "Ask what is going on," says Figley. "Their initial response may be 'nothing,' because they've learned if they tell it may make matters worse. But don't stop there.
- "Have the child look at you, and then go through step by step what happened during the day," says Figley. "Unless the child is an extraordinarily good liar, you'll hit pay dirt.
- "If the child finally admits that a bully held him under water, rather than focusing on your own child, ask if it happened to anyone else," Figley tells WebMD. "You're getting insight into the world of your child through his eyes, but you're focused on another child. It's less risky, and indeed it may help you both find a solution.
- "Respect the child enough to ask what he or she has tried to do about it in the past," says Figley. "The child will then talk about strategies he or she has used to avoid the situation or to get along."

Capricorn (Cap) Anderson has never, ever watched television. He knows what a telephone is, but he doesn't have one at home and has only talked on one a couple times. He has never been in school. Cap has spent his entire life on a farm commune with his grandma, and no one else. When Cap's grandma ends up in the hospital, he has no choice but to enroll in the local public middle school.
The only person happy to see Cap's long hair, beads & sandals made out of corn husks is Hugh, the school oddball, who is more than happy to have Cap take his place as the official "wedgie receiver". Cap's odd ways and disinterest in conforming catch the attention of the school bully, or "wedgie giver," who chooses Cap as the year's eighth grade president, an honor bestowed on the kid most likely to be made fun of all year. Cap's reaction to the bully's pranks, and to the job of class president, takes everyone by surprise, especially the bully himself. Long hair and beads never looked so good. Author: Gordon Korman

Nature Girl
Megan's parents have decided to spend the summer in Vermont in an old house with no internet, no cable TV and a million blood sucking insects. To say Megan hates it is putting it mildly. She hates it so much she wishes she had gotten worse grades so that she could be at home in summer school instead. At least she could have gone to the mall on the weekends.
Being stuck in Vermont MIGHT have been at least bearable if her best friend Lucy had come with her, but she didn't, and the reason why is bugging Megan too. It's as if nobody understands how bad she has it. At least, that's what she keeps whining about.
Megan keeps whining and stomping her feet and acting like a teenage brat for a lot of pages. When she gets lost in the woods and has to fend for herself a different part of Megan comes out, and it's a part I liked a whole lot better. At the beginning I didn't really like Megan too much, but I still liked reading about her because who hasn't felt like her at one time or another? I have. You feel like nobody cares or understands or has any sympathy for you. The trick is getting to the point where you can fix whatever's bugging you and move on. When you have an attitude problem nobody can really fix that but you. Watching Megan get a grip on her attitude problem while having some funny experiences as a cell phone addicted mall-chick stuck in the woods is fun.
And the reason Megan's friend Lucy chose not to come to Vermont gives Megan some perspective too. There are worse things in life than not getting your own way. Author: Jane Kelley

The Winter Olympics are not over yet.
The Paralympic Competition is underway in Sochi, Russia and one Berks County native will be hitting the slopes.
Tyler Carter is a 2012 Brandywine Heights graduate.
He played basketball and karate growing up, but when he was eight-years-old he decided to try a different sport.
"He started skiing and that was his love and it has been going on since then," said Tyler's father Edward Carter.
But things were a bit more challenging for Tyler.
He was born without a fibula and had his leg amputated when he was just one year old, but Tyler's father Edward tells us that did not stop his son from being like any other child.
By age 10, he was invited to the summer camp at Mt. Hood Meadows Ski Resort in Oregon.
By age 13, he was invited to his first U.S. Nationals.
Then last year, a good performance at the U.S. Nationals and World Cup lead him to an invitation to compete on the U.S. Paralympic men's alpine skiing team in Russia.
"He is just motivated. He sets his mind to a dream and he will just go for it until he gets it," said Carter.
The Topton community has really rallied around Tyler, but his biggest fan is still his dad.
"We are really proud of him. He has worked awfully hard the last two years to get to this point," said Carter.
When Tyler is not skiing, he is volunteering at Camelback Mountain, the place where he learned to ski, or volunteering at Amputee Coalition's summer youth camp.
Tyler will compete on the U.S. Paralympic Team this Sat., March 15.

The Green Flash Brewery was defiantly not what I was expecting. Surrounded by huge business buildings and corporate parks the brewery is nestled inside a business park just off a main drag in a northern park of SD. It was down pouring when we got there so there wasn't many folks around even for a Friday afternoon (close to happy hour), but there ere about a dozen or so 'business casual' gentleman and ladies unwinding after a hard day in the office.
The brewery was extremely clean, almost to the point that I was questioning if beer was actually brewed at this location, but alas. it was. I got a flight of very hoppy fresh beers (some one off's I've never seen before). PalateWrecker was the freshest I've ever had it and far better then the bottled version I'd had previously. The bar tender was gracious about answering a few questions on what was in the barrels on the wall (saisons mostly) and the other staff on hand where nice (even talked to a brewer at the door before running into the rain)
There was a food truck but skipped it in lou of our next stop. In all I'm glad we wen't, but can't say I'd ever make a return visit.

This is a fairly new brewery for Green Flash. It is fairly large, max capacity of 100,000 barrels. It is very clean and inviting. Doors are wide open with fans running, very nice temperature inside. You walk into the tasting room, with a gift shop off to the side. To the other side is a place to walk back outside into a walled off section with access to a food truck. The selection of food trucks rotates daily, and they seem to all be quality. Chop Soo-ey was there when I went, and it is very good. So, having food and beer goes well together, there were 11 different beers available, though it looked like they had room for one more draft, and one cask. They offer tours, which are $5 a pop, but include four tasters, and run for an hour or more. Very educational and extensive tour, and you get to sample four of their most common beers. Overall, a very enjoyable experience, and I will have to make it to the Virginia Beach location when that opens up.

Euro Style's furniture encompasses a range of contemporary office furniture, chairs, lighting, tables and more. Now based in the Seven Hills area of Union City, California, Euro Style was founded in 1985 by Trig Liljestrand, who knew as a young boy in Sweden that he wanted to create something innovative — the question was never "if" but "when". Once Euro Style was born he took that ambition and applied it to making an internationally-acclaimed house of style that provided affordable furniture with smart design.
Spruce up their space with stylish decor in kid-friendly brights and sleek white
Sleek silhouettes, steely hues, and the occasional hit of energetic print: These furnishings and accents would all look perfectly at home in a downtown loft (and, by the way, they'd add sophisticated, urbane style to wherever you live, even if it's a ways from downtown).
The kids' furniture from Pangea Home is anything but cutsey. The modern tables, chairs, and more will give your child's room a sense of sophistication while still keeping it fun and playful. We're loving the Spot Chair, which is shaped like a dog, and the avant-garde Mork Chair is great for curling up in.
So, you're trying to curate your very own man cave, but you need a little help moving beyond the shot glasses and sports car poster. We're here for you. This collection is filled with thought-starters, from the big things right down to the little details.

Reflects growing size and new markets for the bank, as well as global pressure on offshore jurisdictions.
Financial services technology provider Fiserv announced it will provide PSB Bank N.V., a government asset of Curaçao, a range of solutions reflecting both the growing size and diversification of the bank's commercial services, as well as heightened international scrutiny of offshore jurisdictions in tracking financial crime.
Beyond providing solutions for account processing and channel management, as well as technology to allow the 106-year-old bank to meet the treasury and cash management needs for the island's power provider, Fiserv will also add its risk mitigation products, Anti-Money Laundering Manager and Fraud Risk Manager, to track financial crime and enterprise fraud.
"In seeking a new technology provider, we wanted to partner with a company that could lead us into the future. Fiserv has the tools we need to bring new products to market and do so in rapid timeframe," says Daniel Hodge, managing director at PSB Bank.

The NFL divided $6 Billion in 2013
NFL teams each received $187.7 million in national revenue this year, reports ESPN's Darren Rovell. Since the revenue is split evenly, that means the league as a whole split more than $6 billion. The Green Bay Packers, the NFL's only publicly-owned team, released financial information Thursday showing that they received $187.7 million in national revenue, or 1/32 of the league's total national revenue. According to Rovell, that $6 billion pot is up 56%, factoring for inflation, since 2006.

"At the time of my decision [to go back to school], there was a lot of fear, uncertainty, and doubt about offshore outsourcing and if that would replace U.S. engineers," says Hoobling, who is currently a student at Walden's online program. "I thought an MBA would make me more marketable in other industries not turning as rapidly toward offshore outsourcing."
A 2005 survey by the Society of Information Management found top IT managers much more likely to outsource technical functions such as telecommunications. Eight of the 10 skills managers deemed "critical" for keeping in-house were business or project management skills such as business process design, project planning, and change management.
"IT professionals who only do very narrowly defined technical tasks are more vulnerable to having their work done somewhere else by people with lower wage rates," says Thomas Malone, author of The Future of Work: How the New Order of Business Will Shape Your Organization, Your Management Style and Your Life and occupant of the Patrick J. McGovern chair at MIT's Sloan School of Management. "If you can combine technical knowledge with a broader knowledge of how technology can help your business, it's much harder for your job to be outsourced."
Such people are likely to be called on to manage those teams of programmers in India or the help desk in Costa Rica. At Walden's High-Tech MBA program, students must enroll in a Global Competitive Environment course that deals with issues as diverse as international law, virtual teams, and distance management, says faculty chair Rebecca Sidler.
"By the time they get through the global course, students will have had a lot of practice managing across time zones and cultures and dealing with individuals they will never meet," Sidler says.
Still, managing across continents involves new challenges that are not easily met, warns Mark R. Beckstrom, a human-capital-management consultant at IBM Business Consulting Services.
Particularly challenging areas include knowledge transfer, communications across multiple time zones, and managing handoffs in companies that use the 'follow-the-sun' model of software development, where coders in Asia work while their counterparts in the U.S. sleep, Beckstrom says.
"You need one set of project management skills for planning a project where your team is located in the same place you are, and a different set of skills to plan projects that use the follow-the-sun model," Beckstrom says. "How do you pick up something someone else has been working on for the past 16 hours without losing your time advantage? That's not something that happens automatically. It's a skill that has to be culled."
Join the culture club
Other aspects of globalization that often receive too little attention are the enormous differences between cultures, says Yong Zhao, director of the U.S.-China Center for Research on Educational Excellence at Michigan State University.
"One might think IT is universal, but how IT industries are managed, how products are made, and what appeals to different people are quite different," Zhao says. "One major difference between the U.S. and China is the concept of hierarchy. Many U.S. managers may find that many of their Chinese team members do not speak out at meetings and thus think they are either ignorant of the topic or in agreement with the ideas presented.

Homelessness Australia (HA) is the national peak body for homelessness in Australia. We provide systemic advocacy for the homelessness sector.
Homelessness Australia works in collaboration with homelessness assistance services, state and national homelessness peak organisations, other peak organisations, government agencies and the broader community.
Latest news from HA
HA's submission to the Welfare ReviewThursday Aug 21 2014

This review is being conducted by a reference group comprising Mr Patrick McClure AO (Chair), Ms Sally Sinclair and Mr Wesley Aird.

Homeless and connected: the technology paradox facing the homelessWednesday Aug 13 2014
New research released this Homeless Persons' Week, shows high mobile phone and Internet useage for people experiencing homelessness, but people still struggle to stay connected. Results showed that the levels of mobile phone ownership among those experiencing homelessness were higher than the Australian average (95 per cent compared to 92 per cent). The research, conducted by University of Sydney researcher Dr Justine Humphrey in conjunction with ACCAN (Australian Communications Consumer Action Network), involved clients from specialist homelessness services across Sydney and Melbourne. "Mobile phones play an essential part in keeping people experiencing homelessness connected," CEO of Homelessness Australia, Glenda Stevens said. "Homelessness is the most extreme form of social exclusion. It isn't surprising that people experiencing homelessness keep a lifeline - their phone - on hand." Those with mobile phones use them for varying reasons including contacting homelessness services,...

Tune In NowMonday Jun 23 2014
If you work with men who may be experiencing depression or anxiety, you should 'Tune in Now'! After consultations with the homelessness and mental health sectors, Homelessness Australia and beyondblue have joined forces to develop an innovative resource for the homelessness sector. Tune In Now is an online toolkit designed to help homelessness support workers to 'have the conversation' with men about depression and anxiety. Because despite being dedicated to helping men experiencing homelessness, many workers struggle with what to say about depression and anxiety and how to say it. By arming workers with the right information, like how best to approach someone and what questions to ask, we believe workers will be empowered to 'have the conversation' about depression and anxiety, which will then empower men to take action.
CEO SleepoutThursday Jun 19 2014
2014 CEO Sleepout Homelessness Australia is participating in the 2014 CEO Sleepout on June 19. CEO, Glenda Stevens, will 'sleep rough' for a night to hightlight the plight of people experiencing homelessness in Australia. "Tonight, CEO's and business leaders will choose to sleep rough, but homelessness is not a lifestyle choice" said Ms Stevens. "It causes devastating personal harm, signicantly impacts on the community and costs our economy. Homelessness is an issue that is not going away on its own. As a society we can't afford to ignore it."
New migrants and SHSsTuesday Jun 3 2014
'New migrants' and specialist homelessness services In October 2013, Homelessness Australia (HA) surveyed specialist homelessness services (SHSs) across the country about their 'new migrant' client load. This article provides an overview of some information obtained from that survey. It also builds on the Australian Institute of Health and Welfare's (AIHW's) Specialist Homelessness Collection, that contains some information on migrants, including newly-arrived ones. However, that collection does not include details about clients' legal status that may help to explain why they need SHS support. SHSs are supporting more new migrants and turning many away The HA survey showed that nearly half of all SHSs were dealing with an increase in new migrant client load in 2013 as compared with 2012. While 6.6 per cent of respondents had no such clients and 38 per cent had fewer than five per cent, 28 per cent had a new migrant client load of between five and 20 per cent, and for another 18 per cent...

Thanks to ever-improving technology, ebooks can be produced relatively quickly and economically compared to their traditional print cousins. But with the temptation to capitalize on speed and low cost, it's easy for publishers to cut corners on quality, especially when it comes to things that affect look, layout, and readability-such as proper conversion of text, images, and other elements from a print book to an ebook. And because churning out sloppy electronic copy can potentially turn off customers, content providers are worried.
Apr 02, 2004
CoreMedia, a provider of Smart Content Technology, has launched version 4.2 of its Smart Content Technology and announced two client additions. The latest version of its Smart Content Technology has been optimized for the demands of process-oriented workflows. New functionalities and enhancements include preview-based editing, barrier freedom according to the requirements of the German government initiative BundOnline 2005, as well as a high integration level for Microsoft Office and .NET applications. In addition, when developing the new version 4.2, the focus was on the further expansion of user friendliness, with the objective of shortening training and introduction times.
CoreMedia has also announced that it will implement a content management system (CMS) for T-Online International and has signed a five-year contract with GMX, a German communications service provider.
T-Online International chose CoreMedia in an effort to enable multi-channel delivery for ITV and UMTS for entertainment portals featuring music, films, and sports. T-Online Business combines the ASP platform with a security package for the development and operation of a traffic-intensive and complex Internet offering; an ASP model is also available.
CoreMedia's software will provide content management services for GMX' portal. Additionally, the company will employ further CoreMedia modules and services for the German Internet portal GMX. In the near future, CoreMedia's technology will be used for all GMX portals as well as for the GMX corporate Web site. Integrated into GMX processes, Smart Content Technology will administer both media asset management and multi-channel delivery of editorial content on various portals. Additionally, user profile based personalized offers will be implemented with CoreMedia technology.
