Helical piers are one of the more desirable products, they have a variety of benefits and are a wonderful solution. They are easy to install and will barely cause any disturbance to the site. Helical piers are also a great solution.
Plate anchors are for providing support for cracking or bowing foundation walls, which are a side effect of a sinking foundation. They are effective and cause minimal disturbance. They can help our advanced foundation repair team to complete the job quickly and efficiently.
Slab piers are used on homes that are just built on a concrete slab instead of with an underground foundation. They can help to lift a sinking slab. They are also unobtrusive and are easily installed.

Some foundations that are in need of attention do not require much repair work. They can be fixed more as a preventative measure than a reactionary one. If the foundation problem has been ignored, however, then costs quickly escalate because other issues tend to show up
While many foundation repair problems are alike, each one requires a customized solution to provide the best value and long term performance. Accepting anything less than a permanent customized solution is risking a less than permanent repair. We take pride in maing the costs of these repairs as clear and easy to understand as we possuibly can, our reputation relies upon it.
To assist you in deciding if one of our permanent solutions is right for you, our contractors provide free foundation repair quotes. Each quote includes an on-site inspection, professional assessment of your foundation problem and a detailed quote that we build with you for your home. To schedule a free quote, contact us today!
Settling problems of an older home will require a foundation engineer's expert opinion. For example, adding piers to stop further cracks in your foundation, without skilled advice, could cause the pressure to shift elsewhere creating a worsened situation. Costs will vary greatly depending on the problems and solutions recommended, but hiring an expert could save you money on hasty, unnecessary and expensive mistakes.
Underpinning is done using steel push piers, helical piers, helical tieback anchors, and plate anchors. The products used by My Foundation Repair and Waterproofing are all made by Earth Contact Products (ECP), the leading manufacturer of foundation repair and basement waterproofing products in the industry. Using an experienced professional that uses only the best products made, you can be assured that once the repair is done, it will last for many years to come.
On average foundation repairs will cost between $6,000 and $12,000, depending on the problem and the right solution. Settling foundations tend to be the most costly, while leaning, bowing walls or cracked walls generally are less expensive. The key to not wasting money is in hiring experts that have the education, equipment and ethics required to permanently repair your home.
Project: Washington Middle School Evansville, IN
Project Information:
Washington Middle School was being renovated and it was discovered that it was experiencing some differential settlement. Soil borings indicated the presence of fill material below the foundation. Traditional steel resistance underpinning and helical underpinning were selected originally by the design engineers as the choice of remediation. Upon review of the soil information, UDI was concerned with the capabilities of these underpinning methods due to the soils information provided. It would be possible for the helical piers to encounter cobbles/floaters in the fill thus negating the installation. The use steel resistance piers likewise could become compromised by the nature of the fill. To solve this UDI proposed the installation of small diameter hollow bar micropiles. The main advantage of the method would be the penetration of the fill material into the 'good' material below the cobbled fill.

The main advantage of the method would be the penetration of the fill material into the 'good' material below the cobbled fill.
The passive installation of the micropiles would also allow for a greater factor of safety in strength and parameters. UDI mated Titan's 40/20mm hollow bar micropiles with Earth Contact Products MP 350 Underpinning Bracket (75,000-99,000 lbs capacity) to provide a competent underpinning system. UDI excavated the site and prepared the footings during the first day of operation. Once the brackets were mounted, UDI installed the micropiles, coring and simultaneously grouting the bars as they drilled 35' through the cobbled fill and into the good strata. Upon completion UDI's crew was able to stabilize and lift the structure with the MP350 micropile bracketing system. By utilizing this application, UDI was able to complete the project with a three man crew in just over three days. UDI's vast experience in dealing with different underpinning techniques provided an economical solution to an otherwise difficult situation.
On September 22nd and 23rd, Earth Contact Products held their annual Foundation Repair Workshop in Kansas City. This workshop, intended to improve the business skills of foundation repair installing experts, had overwhelming attendance considering the economic climate. "Obviously ECP installing contractors are having a very good year, compared to their competitors" said Jeff Tully, GM of ECP. "The have come from around the country to learn how to be better and share ways to expand their level of service with each other" continued Tully.
The two day workshop covered subjects ranging from Advertising and Marketing to New Products and Services offered by Earth Contact Products. "The introduction of our concentric push pier has been a big hit" said Weston Opat of ECP. Opat went on to say "the ECP Model 200 is a concentric style pier designed for hard to reach foundation locations and crawlspace leveling work. It is the strongest concentric resistance pier on the market and features the ECP Manifold Lifting System that our other eccentric piers have been using for years."
Highlights, besides new product introductions included a night at the ballpark. All attendees were given the opportunity to attend the Boston RedSox vs Kansas City Royals baseball game at the newly renovated Royals Stadium. It was a great time for installing contractors to network and discuss business issues with others in their industry. The evening was complete when Zach Greinkie won his 15th game of the season with a 5-1 victory of the BoSox.
Chad Banister has joined Earth Contact Products as a Staff Design Engineer at it's Olathe, Ks. headquarters. Banister graduated from Kansas State University in 1994 with a BS in Architectural Engineering. Mr. Banister will be working directly under Don Clayton, PE ECP's Senior Engineer along with consulting engineer Dr. David Kraft, Phd, PE.

Earth Contact Products is pleased to announce the 2010 Annual Customer Appreciation Dinner in Las Vegas, NV on February 2nd 2010. This annual event has always been a highlight for many that attend the World of Concrete Convention and this year ECP has changed venues from the VooDoo Café to the newest Rio hotspot - Café Martorano.
Café Martorano offers Italian-American food in a unique atmosphere that combines exceptional food with extraordinary music. ECP's guests will be treated to a custom menu prepared by Steve Martorano and ECP while watching classic movies and listening to classic R&B and classic rock. "We still combine the freshest food with the best music, film and television, but we've taken that experience to a new level just like the menu," said Martorano. "It's a modern cool atmosphere that allows us to maintain our welcome-to-the-family vibe while re-inventing ourselves and raising the bar once again."
As in the past ECP will host a cocktail party at 6:00pm followed by dinner prepared by the owner Steve Martonaro himself at 8:00pm. We have made special arrangements for Steve Martorano, the "Italian guy from the neighborhood" to help host the event and prepare his special home style Italian-American favorites in a way that only he can do. This years event will be one of those cant miss opportunities that reflects our appreciation to our customers.
The experience at Café Martorano is like no other. From his "No Whining" policy to his "Absolutely No Changes" and "Don't Break Balls" comments on his menu, you will quickly see why ECP has chosen this place for their most important meeting of the year.
"It truly is the best meat ball in the world" says Brad Mitchell, after visiting Café Martorano's for the first time. "We've got to have our customer appreciation dinner here" followed Jon-Michael Mitchell after trying the fried calamari with hot and sweet peppers.
This dinner is open to ECP customers, employees and family along with the engineering community that we work with. Make your plans to attend this event and be prepared for great food and a great atmosphere. Let us thank you for your business while networking with the best specialty foundation contractors in the world.

Make your backlit keyboard "dance"
Would be cool to listen to some songs while typing (in the dark especially). I have an Asus notebook (Asus n56vz) which supports up to 3 light intensities, so it would, at most rather be some light flashing, but still better than nothing.
I know there's no absolute answer, since it depends on every device /manufacturer, and I haven't found any other example/program except for macbooks.
It would be really nice if someone could give me a hint where I find the digital command for my Fn keys (Fn+F4 or F3 is backlit for me), and second how I could "implement" it in any way.
Hell, is it even possible without a specific program ?
EDIT: sounds like a WinAmp plugin could do that, but it seems only to work with Alienware devices
Sorry if this sounds noobish, I haven't found other ways to express this.

31020 Cole Grade Road, Valley Center, CA 92082
Called to follow Christ
and gifted to make Him Known
We were created by God to know, love and serve Him and one another. The way we worship and pray both as a community and individuals is an important indicator of our love for our God. We want our God to know how much He means to us through our dynamic worship and devout prayer life. We want to provide every opportunity to create encounters with God through great Liturgy, increased Eucharistic Adoration and devotions that will lead to a deeper quality prayer life.
"And they'll know we are Christians by our love", that is what the song says. The community will know us by the way we love unconditionally and reach out to those in need. It would be our vision that St. Stephen parish be a beacon of light for the community of Valley Center and the diocese by the way that we serve each other in our ministries and individually.
It is our dream to be a vibrant and active community of Christians, and a source of inspiration for its members and the community to share the Gospel. We want to be a place where all feel welcome - where members reach out to others. We want to inspire people to serve God with their time and their talents.
That St. Stephen's be a welcoming Christian Community that introduces Christ to the churched and un-churched alike by sharing our lived Christian experience.
Teaching /Learning
The Catholic Church is the guardian of the sacred deposit of faith. It is our duty not only to protect it, but to proclaim it from the highest mountaintop. It is our dream that St. Stephen have dynamic teaching programs that are in communion with the magisterium of the Church, and give us a reason for our faith. Through both youth and young adult catechesis, to powerful adult learning opportunities, we will build our own university with a major in God's Love.
"Assemble the people before me to hear my words so that they may learn to revere me as long as they live in the land and may teach them to their children."
(Deuteronomy 4:10)

Technicians vital to health of diabetic pets
Diabetes is a widespread problem for pets in America, affecting more than 1.4 million dogs and cats. To help identify key issues in diabetes and home monitoring for dogs and cats, Abbott Animal Health hosted a diabetes summit in December 2008.
During the summit, veterinary experts discussed the importance of obtaining accurate blood glucose levels on a regular basis. The experts agreed that having pet owners monitor blood glucose levels at home would provide veterinary health professionals with more accurate data between visits. The experts also agreed that technicians play a vital role in the partnership between pet owners and veterinary hospitals to achieve compliance of home monitoring in diabetic pets.
At the summit, Dr. Sarah Ford, chief of medicine at the Veterinary Clinics of America Emergency Animal Hospital and Referral Center in San Diego, Calif., emphasized how important it is for pet owners to learn how to properly take samples. The best people to them? Technicians, says Dr. Ford. Giving clients thorough training allows veterinarians and team members to be confident that pet owners will monitor blood glucose levels as recommended. This helps clients and the veterinary team work together to achieve a better quality of life for pets.

on the importance and roles of think tanks, India
What is the value of think tanks? In this article by Sangeeta Saxena (with a good quote to begin with "Greater than the tread of mighty armies is an idea whose time has come.") Indians ask Indians (no donor involved) about the importance of think tanks.
The directors of 5 Indian think tank offer their views -which give this blog's readers and me some interesting insights into the perception of the role of think tanks in India. I have picked a few quotes that relate to the links between policy and research but there is plenty more on the origins of think tanks, their business models, funding and their activities:
Air Commodore Jasjit Singh (Retd), Director, Centre for Air Power Studies (CAPS), New Delhi:
Does the research in think tanks influence the policy making of the ministry of defence?
I do not try to find this out. Once we have published or discussed matters, we forward it to the ministry but do not ask them whether they have used the content in decision and policy making. That is not my concern.
What should be the role of a defence think tank?
The defence think tanks do the security related thinking for the country. It thinks 10 to 20 years ahead and suggests developments on the strategic fronts. It conveys these to the government. They create a platform for brainstorming on issues of security and strategic planning, and help the officials in decision making. These think tanks also create an awareness in the Indian elite, civil and military on matters of security, so that they can prepare themselves to be a major part of the thinking world. It creates and spreads knowledge.
Rear Admiral Ravi Vohra VSM (Retd), Director, National Maritime Foundation, New Delhi:
Do ministry of shipping, defence and industries recognise your role in maritime issues management?
When 90% of trade is dependent on sea routes, it is important to safeguard issues affecting the oceans. Harbours and security aspects are important for the nation. If ministry and bureaucrats are asked questions, there are no answers as these officials keep busy. So thinking has to be done by us. We have never attempted nor tried to question government policies which are decided by officials.
What is the role of the Indian Navy in NMF?
In a record time of one and a half months navy did a good job of getting the infrastructure ready. It was handed over to us and we also have two officers of the navy posted on our strength. We cover both civil and military maritime issues. In addition we also cover issues concerning merchant navy and coast guards. Officers of both navy and coast guards attend our round tables and seminars.
Brig. Gurmeet Kanwal(Retd), Director, Centre for Land Warfare Studies (CLAWS), New Delhi:
Last five years have seen the unnecessary mushrooming of think tanks in India. Comment.
The larger the number of think tanks we have, the better we will be as a nation.
Does the bureaucracy listen to your suggestions and conclusions on various issues?
Bureaucracy realises that there is no harm in listening to the think tanks. We give them the reports regularly. Real distinction I would like to make is that when you are in policy making and execution, you have no time to study. So think tanks become important. Things are looking up in the think tank community in India.
In USA think tanks officials get incorporated into government positions of importance. When do you see India progressing towards such a scenario?
Cross pollination of bureaucracy and think tanks is not happening in India. That is why think tanks do not get taken seriously. Politicians are blissfully unaware of their existence most of the times. But we are keeping our fingers crossed for things to move in the right direction.
Lt. Gen. (Retd) V R Raghavan Director, Delhi Policy Group (DPG) and President, Centre for Security Analysis (CSA) New Delhi:
Does DPG forward all its research to the MOD and MEA?
Sure we send every document to the ministries. They get hundreds and hundreds of documents and they go into raddi. There is no system of reading and analysing them. If it goes by name to the secretary and other bureaucrats it gets acknowledged. When highlighted centre pointers go by name to ministers or PMO we get a call.
Do you feel it is utilised at the policy making level?
Sure, we feel it is utilised at policy level. Publications are reference material and is used in research. Our objective is to influence the policy makers to think. They continuously ask us for information. There are highly competent and professional people in the ministries.
Lt. Gen. (Retd) P K Singh Director, United Services Institution of India, New Delhi:
Does USI influence policies of the government, on defence and national security?
We have tremendous synergy with government. We help in creating a tentative road map keeping national and regional interests in mind.
What is the need of having thirty odd think tanks in Delhi?
Think tanks are like sounding boards to get people from all over the world to ideate. It is good to have so many think tanks as it gives cross section of ideas and research.
I found interesting that there was a very marked focused on research -each one to his/her job: researchers do the research and policymakers and politicians should use it (or not) to make decisions. Nonetheless, their activity portfolios all include a range of active communication initiatives designed to facilitate this uptake.
And then there is the unfortunate situation that think tanks are not yet supported by India's corporate sector (and philanthropists) -at least not at the level that Indian commentators expect.
Stephen Yeo #
Very interesting, but these are mainly defence oriented think tanks addressing themselves to the military. Nothing wrong with that, and very interesting, but it is hard to gauge the extend to which this generalizes to think tanks working in other policy areas. The division of labour, with think tanks serving up analysis and the military doing what it wishes with the analysis seems to me one that seems natural in the military world. One shouldn't generalize (so to speak) but it sounds a bit like a respectful captain offering advice to his colonel. In that respect these think tanks reminded of other think tanks in Asia that have long term relationships with the government that tend to be non-confrontation. These think tanks seem themselves as part of the process of consensus building. Is that true of other think tanks in India?January 18, 2011

So yesterday I posted a diary about how the Vancouver Canadians/Boise Hawks game was being broadcast on the web, for free, on streaming video.
But then several people said they couldn't connect, and I was one of them. So, I've done some research for tonight's game, and here's the skinny:
- You need broadband.
- If it ain't working in Firefox, try MSIE (this worked for me easily enough).
- If that's not helping, give the site permission to be seen in your browser preferences (pop-up blockers too).
- Lower your cookie security while watching.
Now, the beautiful thing is, they archive the games on the site, so you can watch both yesterday's game AND the game from the night before by just clicking those dates on the video page of the website.
Tonight's game starts at 6:15pm pacific, and as far as I'm aware, Travis Buck will be playing tonight and the starting pitcher will be Joe Piekarz.
See your future Oakland players tonight at http://boisehawks.net/multimedia/audio/

Gilbert Arenas: The Guy Who Signed the $111 Million Contract
An old article I stumbled across while trying to get an update on Gilbert's knee. A pretty harsh indictment leveled against Gil. The comments were just as brutal. What I don't understand is this: if Gilbert is fully healthy, then why doesn't he play? If he's not fully healthy, then what's the problem? How can his knee still be bothering him after all this time?

Subsidizing Inaccuracy

In a supreme twist of irony, Congress's own Joint Committee on Taxation (JCT) adds further support to the suspicion that The New York Times and its ideological minions have recently been playing fast and loose with oil industry tax numbers. What's the irony? Using one of the tax-and-spenders' favorite methodologies, a report from JCT published several months ago had already proved them wrong.
In a story earlier this summer, Institute for Liberty refuted claims made in a New York Times article that the American energy industry was dodging taxes through loopholes and energy credits. As just about everyone outside of far-left circles understands, American businesses of all kinds, including energy companies, normally pay plenty in taxes.
But the Times and its acolytes could have saved themselves a lot of trouble by reading the JCT report first. Entitled "Estimates of Federal Tax Expenditures for Fiscal Years 2009-2013," the document identifies "reductions in income tax liabilities that result from special tax provisions
or regulations that provide tax benefits to particular taxpayers." This approach needs to be taken with more than a grain of salt. Some of the largest "tax expenditures" identified in the report include the mortgage interest deduction and tax deferral on 401 (k) contributions. In these cases, the "particular taxpayers" who "benefit" number in the tens of millions.
Do each and every one of these provisions constitute good policy? Certainly not. But unless Congress is willing to consider getting rid of the whole system and replacing it with a simplified flat tax or Fair Tax arrangement, repealing any of them raises someone's tax burden. Moreover, deciding not to tax a certain activity isn't a government "expenditure" – unless we believe that government has first dibs on every single penny in our pockets.
Nonetheless, let's grant the big-government crowd their contention for a moment. As the graphic below, using JCT data, clearly illustrates, the firms most representative of so-called "big oil" receive only a fraction of the amount in energy-specific "tax expenditures" as compared to the renewables sector. Renewables are projected to receive an average of $12.5 billion in "tax expenditures" each year between FY 2009 and FY 2013, while major companies in the demonized American oil and gas industry are slated for less than a billion dollars.
Probably not the results those tax-and-spenders were expecting.

When are you people going to quit bitching and do something of value? The FairTax, HR-25, S.296 awaits your STRONG ADVOCACY to get out representative? to get off their assets of be fired by you. And all you can do is whine about this income tax issue and that one. Boy, that does a lot with politicians who are deaf to our pleas. The FairTax will eliminate the entire income tax code, period. The rest will be a positive economuc growth and illegal immigration retardent for the US. Get educated. Go to www.fairtax.org and understand the far reaching benefits of the FairTax. Or stay ignorant and keep blowing at the windmills. Larry Walters, Longwood, FL

The 55th pick is in and SB Nation's Eagles community, Bleeding Green Nation, has selected...
Georgia Tech S Morgan Burnett
Morgan Burnett was actually a guy I was considering taking with the 37th overall pick so I was pretty excited to see him still on the board here at #55. He's got protypical size, he's a ballhawk who makes plays in coverage, and is willing to step up to stop the run. So often it seems like you have to choose between CB like cover safety or a LB like hitter safety and rarely do you find those guys who can do both. Even rarer do you find them near the bottom of the second round.
After just missing out on some cornerback help, Burnett is a heck of a consolation prize. Jason is right about Burnett being that player who can replace Dawkins. Great selection.
I like this pick and, as BGN said, could've been a legitimate candidate with the 37th pick. Solid selection.

Getting a great photograph isn't always a factor of finding the most spectacular subject to shoot. While you might be forgiven for thinking that images of the humble pigeon could be quite boring, the fact remains that a good photographer can make an interesting photo of a mundane subject. These photographs of pigeons, affectionately known by many as "sky rats," shows what can be done with some photographic skill.

COLORADO SPRINGS (WATE) -- Air Force Academy head coach Troy Calhoun ended speculation Thursday that he was being considered as a candidate for the head coaching job at Tennessee.
The academy issued a statement saying, "We are more than grateful and proud to be closely involved with the character building of our cadets and the mission of the United States Air Force Academy. We are diligently recruiting and working with our team to prepare for the upcoming season. We look forward to coaching and being a part of the Air Force Academy team both on and off the field in 2010."
Calhoun called a team meeting Thursday at 3:50 p.m. Mountain Time, or 5:50 Eastern Time, which lead to questions about whether he was announcing his departure.
The Tennessee job came open Tuesday when Lane Kiffin left after one season to take over as head coach at USC.
Calhoun's name was mentioned the same night as Kiffin's announcement. Sources say he was widely considered as the runner-up to Kiffin after the departure of Phillip Fulmer.
When asked about Tennessee by phone with the Denver Post Wednesday night, Calhoun said, "Anything that is just chatter. I'm dedicated to the Air Force Academy. I have no idea where these things originate. I love being part of the process here at the academy that is an influence on our great young people."
Calhoun was 25-14 in three seasons at Air Force. He took over a program that had posted three straight losing seasons and lead his team to eight or more wins and a bowl victory each year.

The body of the Brandon native and Marine who was killed in the line of duty while serving in Afghanistan is now home.
The remains of Staff Sergeant Jason Rogers arrived at Thompson Air Field around 2:00 Thursday afternoon.
Marines from Company C, Anti-Terrorism Battalion, 4th Marine Division in Jackson provided an honor guard for plane-side honors.
In an impressive ceremony, hundreds of military personnel and civilians gathered on the tarmac on the military side of the airport to join the family of the Brandon High School graduate to observe his body coming home for the last time.
The casket was in a chartered Falcon jet aircraft, which flew it here from Dover Air Force Base in Delaware.
Rogers' family said he joined the Marines after 9/11 because he said he had to do something to make a difference.
His best friend was patrolman Bo Luckey of the Brandon Police Department.
"Jason was not the type that would want to sit by and watch people work," Luckey told WLBT News. "He wanted to help and make a difference in life, and he served his country the best he could. And he did a very good job of doing that."
Hundreds of people lined up all along the route from the airport to the funeral home in a show of respect.
Visitation will be held at Pinelake Baptist Church in Brandon Friday night from 6 until 9. Rogers' funeral service will also be held at the church at 3 Saturday afternoon, with interment at the new Brandon cemetery.

As music, as truth, Love can only be learned piece by piece. We say love with different tongues, we show love in various ways, we experience love's gifts: the joy, the fear and all that is in between. Project X is taking a wintery evening to display the shades of love we have found. Because love is on our mind and so it should be on yours.

"The features Microsoft comes out with in 2010 are the features that were in demand in 2007 and 2008," says Dan Short, director of product marketing at the Portland, Ore.-based Jive Software. "The pace at which things are evolving in the consumer space is very fast. We [Jive] can have an increasingly deep integration with SharePoint, but we believe the social nature of interactions and the speed at which technology is evolving to meet those will outpace SharePoint [and its social features]."
Socialtext started in 2001, specializing in enterprise wiki technology. It has employed a similar innovation strategy to keep ahead of Redmond. Over time, Socialtext followed the consumer market and developed new social features on top of its product. It added social networking profiles that allowed companies to build their corporate intranet with a Facebook-like design. Most recently, it launched Socialtext Signals, a technology that creates an internal Twitter-like experience for the enterprise, where employees share their actions with colleagues.
"It takes Microsoft a long time to deliver software to the market," says Ross Mayfield, Socialtext's president and chairman. "A year ago, the idea of having microblogging and activity streams for the enterprise was a new concept. Well, that's around the time they probably froze the spec for SharePoint 2010. Overnight, the demand for social software changed, and it will change again."
When enterprise demand changes, Mayfield says that he and many of his contemporaries can adapt much faster than Microsoft. In addition, he claims the cost of implementing his software for internal collaboration comes to a tenth of the price of SharePoint's rollout cost, a factor he believes many customers will respond to given the difficult economy.
Microsoft plays the old stability card
But cost and innovation aren't the only characteristics businesses, especially large ones, look for in their software, says Michael Sampson, a collaboration expert who has written a book on SharePoint. Other issues that customers consider include vendor stability, partner ecosystems and appetite for risk as it concerns new technologies.
"Companies want to know of the other vendors, 'how long have they been around?' And 'how long can they go forward?'" Sampson says. "Microsoft will be here forever and a day, so they win in that criteria."
Microsoft has also nurtured hundreds of thousands of mom-and-pop support shops that have made it their business to implement SharePoint. For the Enterprise 2.0 vendors, this makes it hard to compete. They can focus on implementing their startup wares for some of their bigger customers, but many smaller companies will be forced to go it alone.
"It's one thing to say I have this great tool, but it's another look through a phone book and find someone who has experience implementing it," Sampson says. "Microsoft and IBM will both win on that criteria as well. They've had historical success with clients. They've got examples. The Enterprise 2.0 vendors have to find the renegades who are willing to take risks."

Regional issues of interest to Hampton Roads citizens, particularly ones that cross city lines, bridges and tunnels, are highlighted in a new report by Old Dominion's Regional Studies Institute.
Titled "State of the Region: Hampton Roads 2000," the 127-page report is designed to stimulate discussion and thought on a variety of local issues -- everything from the economy to transportation to tourism.
"For those who wish to make Hampton Roads an even better place to live, we must know literally 'where we are' in critical areas," said President James V. Koch, who secured financial support from area leaders to publish the report. "We're not under the illusion that one report will change things, but we need to begin attacking issues from a regional standpoint and
encourage people to think about things in different ways.
"Our goal in producing the report is to act as an honest broker for discussion and policymaking. We believe it's important to cast about for regional solutions to problems."
As evidenced by recent stories in The Virginian-Pilot, the report has already started the debate on two important topics: transportation and the merging of local governments.
According to Koch, perhaps the report's most surprising finding came via a poll of citizens throughout the region who indicated they are receptive to the idea of merging local governments and many of the services they provide.
However, while the report cites statistics showing that 50.5 percent of Hampton Roads residents polled (50 percent in Virginia Beach) support merging area cities and counties into a single jurisdiction, Virginia Beach Mayor Meyera Oberndorf was quoted in the Oct. 15 Pilot article saying the reaction she gets from civic leagues to the idea of merging cities is "100 percent no."
"This is a good example of how people see things differently" and why it is important to foster discussion about such issues, Koch points out.
Another Pilot story recently looked at issues raised in the report's transportation section, including a proposal to eventually build a regional "superport," possibly in Isle of Wight County, that would necessitate closing the Norfolk and Peninsula airports. It's an issue that, until now, has not generated much discussion, Koch noted.
The transportation section also encourages regional leaders to look more seriously at long-term solutions to today's traffic congestion.
"The experts we talked to from outside the region are unanimous in the belief that if mass transit is not part of the solution, Hampton Roads is making a big mistake," Koch said. "According to them, building more lanes is just a short-term solution.
"Maybe light rail isn't the solution, but we need to explore alternatives to putting more cars on the highways. Every great region has a significant transportation system, and we don't."
This section also notes that initial planning for a high-speed rail system along the East Coast does not include Hampton Roads as a stop. "If we're not on that, we will be significantly isolated, and this will have a dire effect on the quality of life and standard of living in Hampton Roads," Koch said.
The "State of the Region" report also includes sections on K-12 education, military, government, technology, workforce and health. Reports in succeeding years will be more topic-oriented and offer more analysis, Koch
It is anticipated that next year's report will explore the airport issue in-depth and look closely at the pros and cons of efforts to attract a major league sports franchise to the region.
The following people and organizations provided financial support for the "State of the Region" report: The Aimee and Frank Batten Jr. Foundation, Frank Batten Sr., R. Bruce Bradley, Ramon W. Breeden Jr., Arthur A. Diamonstein, George Dragas Jr., Hampton Roads Partnership, Thomas Lyons, Arnold McKinnon, J. Douglas and Patricia W. Perry, and Anne B. Shumadine.
Approximately a dozen Old Dominion faculty conducted research and provided background information for the 2000 report, including Jeffrey Harlow (public opinion), Wayne Talley (transportation), Stephen Medvic (government), and Gil Yochum and Vinod Agarwal (economy, military and tourism).

A 2 to 3-year-old girl was found riding her 3-wheeler with no adults around on Monday near the 2300 block of East Olvine.
The child was not able to provide Pinal County Sheriff's deputies with her name.
By 10 a.m., the child's mother was located and she was reunited with her daughter.
PCSO's Tim Gaffney says "The child's mother reported she had gotten off of work late last evening and overslept this morning. When she woke up she couldn't find her child so she began to drive around. A deputy located her and let her know her child was safe."
Deputies are looking into whether charges will be filed. Child Protective Services was also notified about the situation.
No names have been released in this case.

NASHVILLE, Tenn. (BP)--Bob R. Agee, executive director of the International Association of Baptist Colleges and Universities, has announced his retirement, effective with the IABCUs June 3-5 annual meeting or as soon thereafter as a new executive director can be named.
Agee, 68, has served as executive director of the 51-school association since 1998, leading the IABCU in promoting distinctive Christian education among the colleges and universities that have their roots in Baptist heritage.
The association was founded in 1948 as the Southern Association of Southern Baptist Colleges. It later changed its name to the Association of Southern Baptist Colleges and Schools. Last year the association adopted its current name and opened membership to Baptist colleges and universities outside the United States.
The association assumed many of the functions of the former Southern Baptist Education Commission when it was dissolved by the Southern Baptist Convention in 1996.
Agee, former president of Oklahoma Baptist University, has been successfully battling hairy cell leukemia for the past 16 years. He currently is in his fourth remission.
From 1998-2002 he also served as executive director of the Consortium for Global Education, a sister organization that promotes educational exchanges and partnerships between IABCU member colleges and universities and more than 80 colleges and universities outside the United States.
Agee announced his retirement at the recent semiannual IABCU board meeting. The board expressed their gratitude and voted to accept his pending retirement with deepest appreciation for Agees service to the Association.
James Netherton, president of Carson-Newman College and IABCU board chair, told board members he would be appointing a search committee soon to seek a new executive director.
Nine years ago we faced some amazing challenges, Agee said in a letter to board members. Among them: Would the schools that historically had been served by the Education Commission of the Southern Baptist Convention find enough common ground and mutual interests to continue to cooperate and support a larger cause? ... What did the future hold for the way state conventions and their colleges and universities would relate to each other as the landscape changed, and would the schools be able to rise above the shifting sands and continue to promote the value of being intentionally Christian and unashamedly Baptist?
I am pleased to report that for the most part, we have risen to the challenges we faced as an Association, Agee wrote.
The Association is a significant voice among Christian colleges and universities as a strong advocate for the importance of the integration of the Christian faith and high-quality academic pursuit. We have become a major resource for the schools through our corporate partnerships, our website services, as an information gathering center, through educational workshops and through various consultation opportunities.
The associations search committee can be contacted by writing to IABCU chair James Netherton, president of Carson-Newman College, 1646 Russell Ave., CN Box 71990, Jefferson City, TN 37760.
Tim Fields is director of communications for the International Association of Baptist Colleges and Universities.
