Alex Epstein, Screenwriter
by Justin Samuels
Alex Epstein is a Canada-based screenwriter. He is also a prominent blogger on screenwriting and TV-writing topics at his blog Complications Ensue. For more on his long career in film, check out his imdb profile.
Justin Samuels: The first film you wrote was Warriors. How did writing that come about?
Alex Epstein: That was originally going to be a William Shatner vehicle. William Shatner is a member of an elite squad of death-squad killers so deadly and so illegal they have to be kept locked up. He gets an encrypted message from his father, busts out and they send his best student to hunt him down and kill him. We had a meeting with Mr. Shatner, who has a really superb story sense. He didn't like the reason the guy busts out. Which was kind of lame. So my boss, who was also the producer asked me to rewrite the script, since he knew I was a writer. Classic case of having the inside track. In the end, it wound up being a Gary Busey vehicle. I can tell you Gary Busey stories if you buy me a few drinks.
JS: What was your background before you became a screenwriter? Did you study anything like film or theatre formally?
AE: I have an MFA from UCLA's School of Theatre, Film & Television. It helped me get my first job, and it taught me how to direct a short film. I don't actually recommend going to film school, not as your first day in showbiz. The irony is that the more you know about filmmaking going in, the more you'll get out of film school. What I recommend people do is get a mailroom job at Endeavor/WMA. Then, when you know a bunch of people who might be willing to help you make a professional film, and you know what sort of film the market would like you to make (which is a combination of what you're good at, what you love and what the market wants), then go to film school. Maybe even make some films before you go to film school. Definitely write some short film scripts before you go.
In college, I was a Computer Science major. That helped me learn to write a well-structured screenplay in a top-down process. And finally, now that I'm getting into narrative design for games, the computer knowledge comes in handy. I can speak programmer, even if my C++ is a bit rusty.
JS: You critique other writers' work. What's that process like? Do you also teach?
AE: When I critique material, I try to think what it really wants to be. What's interesting about it? What's fresh? What's compelling? What's fun? What's special? What would make a director spend two years of his life on this? What gets the audience to come see the movie in theaters? And then, how do you structure the story — not beginning, middle and end, but what are the structural story elements? In my book, a story is:
- (a) a hero we care about
- (b) who has an opportunity, problem or goal
- (c) who faces obstacles, an antagonist and/or his or her own flaws
- (d) who stands to gain something (stakes)
- (e) and lose something (jeopardy).
(I've refined this list over the years.)
When something doesn't work, [it's because] 95% of the time one of these essential elements isn't strong enough, isn't there or is confused. Fix them, make sure that all the scenes relate to them, and the script will fix itself. I've taught a few seminars. I think teaching a class would eat up all my writing energy.
JS: You're represented by the Omada Agency. How did you obtain your agency representation?
AE: I've been with them for almost a decade. I'm pretty sure I was looking for a Montreal-based agency to represent me in my home province. Québec doesn't just speak a different language, it speaks a different producer culture. Omada represents many of the top directors, cinematographers, art directors and editors. At the time, they didn't have a deep English-language writer roster. So it was a good match. I'm intrigued by the idea of having representation in New York. As a New Yorker in exile, some of my projects feel "too American" to some Canadian producers. I'm not entirely sure how to go looking. I suppose I could send out query letters? But like everyone else in showbiz, I want to meet somebody who's already friends with somebody I trust!
JS: What sorts of things does the Writers Guild do for its members? How important would you say Guild membership is to writers, in terms of benefits and career development?
AE: Crucial. I would hate to be out there in the cold without the WGC. They have gone to bat for me repeatedly, for credit and for money. Every time they've stepped in, the producer has wound up giving me what we negotiated, rather than whatever it was that the producer decided they were going to give me. The one time they weren't able to step in, I got screwed. On a national level, the WGC lobbies Parliament to enlighten legislators what the effects of their proposed culture bills will actually be. They can't always convince the Conservative government to protect cultural funding — the party is more or less against it — but they can at least help ensure there are no unintended negative consequences.
I was Head Writer for a TV show shot in South Africa. They don't have a strong guild there. Writers get paid so little there that they can actually make more money writing novels. In consequence, it was hard to find good screenwriters there; they were too busy writing novels. What producers don't realize is that the Guild helps them by ensuring that there's a cadre of competent professional screenwriters available for them to hire…. Without a Guild, there wouldn't be enough of us available to give them good scripts.
JS: Has the Internet changed things for screenwriters? If so, how?
AE: It's hard to say what the Internet hasn't changed. Facebook enables me to keep in touch with writer-friends I don't share a writing room with. I no longer have to print out scripts and mail them. I can Google people before I meet them. I can book an AirBnB in Cannes. I can have Skype meetings with producers in Winnipeg. Any day I don't have to fly to Winnipeg is a good day. It's also easier to do research, if you can manage not to procrastinate. Lord knows, it's much easier to procrastinate.
I think the more interesting change is in filmmaking technology. Today, anyone with a phone and a computer can shoot and edit a film and upload it to YouTube. Everyone has access. The big-budget stuff is still only for professionals, but each year it gets easier and easier to make a film. That means people who can make a great film don't have to have rich parents. It's not an accident that someone like Chloé Robichaud can make a film at 25 that screens at Cannes. You could do that decades ago, but only if you were loaded.
JS: What are your latest projects? What things do you have in development?
AE: This year I directed my fourth and fifth professional shorts. I took one to the Cannes Film Market, and the other will screen during TIFF. I'm hoping to transition to being a writer and director. I'm currently working on financing a suspense thriller I hope to direct called Alice Is Perfectly Fine Now. And I'm the narrative designer and voice director on a very cool video game called Contrast that's a launch title for the PS4.
JS: The last two features you worked on, Happy Slapping and Eddie: The Sleep Walking Cannibal, were released last year and this year. Can you tell us what they are about?
AE: Happy Slapping is about a bunch of suburban teenagers coming to downtown to get into trouble. They're hoping to shoot video of themselves "happy slapping" innocent strangers, but that doesn't go so well. It develops that this is all really one girl looking for revenge on her father. Eddie: The Sleep Walking Cannibal is a gory art satire about a painter who can only paint when he's exposed to carnage, who meets a retarded man who kills and eats animals when he's sleepwalking. So he encourages him to kill and eat people. I mean, for inspiration, you do what you have to do, right?
JS: What is your favorite genre to write, or do you have a favorite?
AE: I'm probably best known as a comedy writer. But most of my own projects are in some way a subversion of fairy tales, myths and legends. The story itself may be natural or supernatural, but there's usually a legend in there somewhere.
JS: In some of the films you've worked on, you're credited as writer and story editor. Care to elaborate on what the story editor does?
AE: I ask for a story editor credit when I work with the writer to help him or her realize his or her vision. Basically, I give a lot of notes. If I do it once, I call it story consulting. So long as I don't do any actual writing in the script, it's story editing. If I'm asked to do the polish or rewrite myself, then it heads into being a script doctor, which may or may not entitle me to a writing credit depending on the depth of the changes.
JS: As for your future plans, is there anything you want to do professionally that you have not already done?
AE: In the past couple of years I've been directing more, and working as a narrative designer for video games. I do love TV, and I pitch TV ideas to the networks; I'd love to create another show.

Well, I know we have all been gushing over Da'rick Rogers but I was just reading some other sites on UDFA's and one guy who some people have been gushing over is Brandon Kaufman. Yes, he doesn't fit into the theme of the draft with blazing speed, but he seems to fit perfectly into the go up and get him receiver Nix specified he wanted. He is 6'5, 216 pounds and ran a 4.6 oh, I forgot to say, he had super glue for hands. Some of the tape that I have found on him has been just plain awesome, he is like the receiver we wished James Hardey would be. I'll throw up some of the videos.
Warning Red Turf May Burn Retinas.
This is a highlight reel thats 10 minutes long of him just making diving catches from a pretty terrible QB:
Here is him against Wagner, but the CB he was going up against seemed extremely competitive and fought every catch Kaufman was attempting, but Kaufman shows concentration and just awesome hands
These last two are just deal breakers for me. He lays out for both and just makes 2 phenomenal diving catches and another just unbelieveable concentration play.
Concentration: (comme onn man- the announcer)
Diving catches:
Someone calling him a 3rd round pick with tons more videos on the guy:
In conclusion, I tried to find the Eastern Washington vs Washington game where he played against the 22nd overall pick, Desmond Trufant to see what happened, but I couldn't find it. He had 14 catches for 140 yards. The head coach Sarkisian was quoted as saying, "Number 1 put a receiving clinic on us today." I'm (not so) quietly excited for the kid.

Five Quirky Taxes to Watch Out for on Tuesday's Ballot
Curtis Kalin
November 4, 2013
It's almost Election Day and voters in several states and many more localities will head to the polls to decide the fate of numerous fiscal ballot measures. Some of these proposals stand out more than others. Below we've listed the top five strange (and what many would consider punitive) tax issues on the ballot in 2013 that our research has identified:
Also of note for local taxpayers: In California 87 school districts will vote on 45 local bond/tax measures totaling $22 billion. This far exceeds what any other state in America has on the ballot. Additionally, Arizona voters will be deciding on 11 local ballot measures that would implement $209 million for education bonds and $311 million in non-education related bonds (public safety, parks, roads, etc.)
There are many more state and local measures of note. Other entries – strange or not – from sharp-eyed taxpayers across the country are welcome!

Impressive ruins. A must-see stop for anyone interested in American Indian culture and history, archaeology and archaeoastronomy
A STRONG WIND FROM BEHIND and a steep cliff are not a reassuring combination. That's what we found after hiking to the top of the mesa overlooking the great house ruins of Pueblo Bonito at Chaco Culture National Historic Park. But the vista . . . what a sight!
By Josephine Matyas & Craig Jones
It was a bird's eye view of the largest and most sophisticated of the pre-historic stone structures of Chaco Canyon in remote northwest New Mexico. We hiked to the mesa top by scrambling over boulders, along a steep crack in the cliff wall. The cliff forms the backdrop for a triumph of architecture that was once the centerpiece of Chacoan culture, a civilization that reached its high water mark between 850 and 1250 AD.
Chaco – a UNESCO World Heritage Site – was the heart of a far-reaching ceremonial, trade and cultural network. It's a must-see stop for anyone interested in American Indian culture and history, archaeology and archaeoastronomy (the study of the astronomical practices, celestial lore, mythologies, religions).
The ruins of monumental public buildings built to impress – called "great houses" – are scattered across the canyon floor. More of these public structures are concentrated here than in any other one spot across the Southwest. The question is, why? Chaco was the ceremonial centre of the Ancestral Puebloans, holding deep significance for the Southwest Indians of today. It remains a place of mystery.
"FROM WHAT WE KNOW AND BELIEVE, everything was very organized, on a scale not seen before or elsewhere," speculated Cindy Winkler, a National Parks ranger who leads interpretive walks through the park's ruins. "It's quiet here now but at the time it would have been a very busy centre of trade."
For the Chacoans, the landscape of rock, piñon and creosote was a powerful spiritual draw. In the space of several hundred years, they erected numerous "great houses" (using a mind-boggling 50 million slabs of sandstone), dug canals, and built a network of over-sized roads so straight that experts believe they were carefully planned before construction began. These massive projects were completed without benefit of the wheel, oxen or horse. Winkler paused for a moment, "To construct these buildings, some of the beams would have been carried by hand from the Chuska and San Juan Mountains, 60 to 100 miles away."
Seen from above, the walls of Pueblo Bonito curve in an enormous D-shape. More than 600 rooms and 35 ceremonial kivas were organized into four storeys, very meticulously constructed along axes that trace the seasonal equinox and solstice.

Randy Schubert
Executive Director
Randy brings over 30 years of senior management experience in the nonprofit sports sector at the local, state, national and international levels to the NWBA. He is nationally recognized in the Special Olympics Movement as an effective and outstanding organizational change facilitator and has a proven success record of Board building, volunteer management, strategic planning, financial analysis, and fundraising planning and implementation. Randy has helped raise millions of dollars through grants, individual giving, sponsorships, direct marketing and special events. Prior to joining the NWBA, Randy spent five years as Owner and Lead Consultant at Schubert and Associates Consulting and seven years as Director of Organizational Development, Special Olympics North America.
Wheelchair basketball was born in 1946 in Veterans Administration (VA) hospitals in Birmingham (CAL) and Framingham (MA) where World War II veterans were being treated for various degrees of paralysis. Recognizing that they would by necessity use wheelchairs for the rest of their lives, they sought entertainment through numerous sports. Many started with ping-pong and pool, then progressed to bowling and swimming and quickly to wheelchair softball and basketball.
Within two years, six teams emerged, representing VA hospitals across the USA. National tournaments were organized and hosted by the Paralyzed Veterans of America (PVA). Consequently, in 1948, the NWBA and the first official National Wheelchair Basketball Tournament (NWBT) were organized by NWBA Hall-of-Fame inductee Tim Nugent of the University of Illinois. That year, in a remarkable act of self-determination, the Birmingham (CAL) VA Flying Wheels took to the air and challenged teams throughout the USA. Wheelchair basketball soon became the number-one sport for individuals with disabilities.
Wheelchair basketball for women began to surface in the mid-1960s. In1968. a US team competed alongside US men in the Paralympic Games in Tel Aviv, Israel. Since only a men's division existed at that time, the few women who played in the US competed on teams consisting of men only. By 1970, one team had been formed, the University of Illinois Ms. Kids. During the 1973-1974 season, the Ms. Kids played the Southern Illinois University Squidettes in the Men's Old Gym on the University of Illinois campus in Urbana. This was the first recorded wheelchair basketball game between two organized women's teams in the US, and coincidentally, the first women's wheelchair basketball game between two collegiate women's teams. A proposal to create a Women's Division was submitted to and approved by NWBA delegates in 1977 by University of Illinois' graduate student and future Hall-of-Famer Bob Szyman. By 1978 six teams competed in the national tournament, hosted by the University of Illinois. At present, 5 teams compete in the traditional Women's Division, 5 in the Intercollegiate Women's Division.
Since 1991, the NWBA has attained considerable recognition in the public domain. It became an associate member of the US Congress. It is now an active member of USA Basketball. Its former Commissioner, Stan Labanowich, yet another University of Illinois graduate and NWBA Hall of Famer, was appointed to USA Basketball's Board of Directors.
Wheelchair basketball has come a long way since its origins in the US in the mid-1940s. The NWBA has since grown to 192 teams. We are also proud to say that the pioneering National Wheelchair Basketball Association has given birth to hundreds of teams from North and South America, Africa, Asia, and Europe, And we don't plan on slowing down anytime soon. The next stop for the NWBA - the Olympics.

Wait, so he's your ******
The vid's hot and everything, but I have questions on the ethics {XD Don't mind me, I'm just confused. Stellar work though.
Just do whatever you can to get him in the mood and to make his feet move about / to make his toes curl up in pleasure! I'll do my part as we both give him unimaginable pleasure at the same time! ;D By the way, does he know about this; about the possible meet up to give him pleasure?
Yeah, I don't like being teased like this! Lol. He (and other people like him), needs to be taught a lesson! ;P Making him explode sounds hot. I can only imagine how much his toes kept curling and how much he was moaning. Speaking of which, I like the way he moans and groans, especially in this video. I'm currently living in New York City. Perhaps you live here too? If not, perhaps you and your ******may come here someday for a visit? Maybe even soon?
I'd love to work him over! Feet like that need to be worshipped as he's experiencing other sort of pleasure at the same time! ;D Meet?
Then let me help him out, then.
That was hot, the way his feet were moving and his toes were flexing. You should make a video where he actually gets cum on his feet. That would be sexy!
By milking, you mean a handjob or blowjob or something? And you should've invited me over, because I would've licked his feet and sucked his toes as he was getting milked! ;D He would've had a better orgasm!

Met Office warning - storms are on the way
2:08pm Monday 3rd February 2014 in News
MET Office forecasters are warning that further heavy rain and gale force winds will affect the North West at times this week, bringing the risk of transport disruption.
The stormy conditions could bring damaging gusts of wind of up to 80 mph in some western areas of Britain on Tuesday night and Wednesday, which could cause some disruption because of fallen trees and high waves in coastal areas.
A Yellow Met Office Severe Weather Warning has been issued for gales and heavy rain, meaning people should be aware that severe weather is expected and should plan ahead for possible travel delays, or the disruption of day to day activities.
Will Lang, Met Office chief meteorologist, said: "We have more Atlantic depressions heading our way this week. Heavy rain and gales sweeping in from the west later on Tuesday and for Wednesday brings the risk of further flooding in some areas and possible disruption to transport and power supplies.
"However, there is some uncertainty about whether this area of low pressure will reach our shores, it may stay to the south of us and we are monitoring how it will develop.
"Throughout this spell of unsettled weather, everyone is advised to stay up to date with the latest Met Office forecasts and National Severe Weather Warnings and be aware that the weather may change or worsen, leading to disruption of your plans in the next few days."
The gales will also continue to bring the additional risk of large and potentially hazardous waves in coastal areas.
Will Stephens, RNLI coastal safety staff officer, said: "With more stormy weather forecast, we're asking people to take extra care if they're going down to the coast.
"Rough seas and extreme weather might look exciting, but getting too close can be risky. So respect the water and, in particular, avoid exposed places where big waves could sweep you off your feet."
Throughout this unsettled spell Met Office forecasters and advisors are working round the clock with its partners to keep everyone up to date with the latest forecast information so they can plan and prepare for the expected weather.

Crazy Otto - Atari 7800
Crazy Otto was developed as an enhancement kit for Pac-man cabinets by General Computer Corporation (GCC). GCC also created an upgrade kit for Missile Command titled Super Missile Command, for which they were sued by Atari, but the suit was dropped and the two companies entered into a business arrangement. GCC went on to develop the arcade games Fight and Quantum for Atari, as well as games for the Atari 2600, 5200 and 7800 game consoles.
As a drop-in upgrade for Pac-Man, Crazy Otto brought many changes to the game, although basic gameplay remained the same. Most notable is the main character (Crazy Otto) had legs and blue eyes. The monsters also have feet, as well as animated antennae. Other changes included new mazes, music, sound effects, and bonus fruit. Otto and his female counterpart were featured in three new intermissions, the last of which shows the arrival of baby Crazy Otto, "Junior".
In October 1981 Crazy Otto was licensed to Midway, who had the rights to produce Pac-Man in North America. The only changes between Crazy Otto and Pac-Man are the visual representation of characters and various text strings. The decision was made to use the female character as the protagonist, and the game was renamed to Ms. Pac-Man. Ms. Pac-Man went on to become the most successful American-produced arcade game, selling 115,000 cabinets.
Atari 7800 programmer Robert DeCrescenzo has taken Atari's version of Ms. Pac-Man for the 7800 and updated the graphics to match the Crazy Otto arcade game. As this is a graphics hack, gameplay is unchanged from Ms. Pac-Man.
Additional Information
No box or manual is included with Crazy Otto. Available in NTSC and PAL television formats, please select above.

No stranger to the festival circuit, beloved French filmmaker Francois Ozon ("Swimming Pool," "8 Women") returns to Toronto with "In The House."
Starring Kristin Scott Thomas, the film finds Ozon returning to the thriller genre after his previous effort, the light-hearted, frothy and forgettable "Potiche." Here's the official synopsis: A sixteen-year-old boy insinuates himself into the house of a fellow student from his literature class and writes about it in essays for his French teacher. Faced with this gifted and unusual pupil, the teacher rediscovers his enthusiasm for his work, but the boy's intrusion will unleash a series of uncontrollable events.
The film will make its World Premiere at TIFF. Enterainment One will distribute the picture in Canada, with Cohen Media snagging the rights for the U.S.

Huppert is the actress with the most exciting career right now : Haneke, Mendoza, Sang-Soo, Bellocchio, plus she's also doing more mainstream work on the side (Dead Man Down, Suspiria remake)
Tiff movie buff | July 31, 2012 10:37 PM
So excited for Foxfire -- the actresses look unbelievable! We all know what Cantet pulled off with the young cast in Entre Les Murs, and this looks so much better! Apparently, he auditioned thousands of girls before he put this ensemble together -- future Canadian stars, I'm sure and such a good mix!
Superhans | July 31, 2012 7:44 PM
Can't wait for Foxfire. Loved Cantet's previous work and am excited to see what he will do this.

Day 3 of the Carolina Panthers 2013 Training Camp signaled the introduction of pads to practice. With the element of increased physicality added, which Panthers stepped up and which regressed? We have got you covered again with a CSR Twitter recap of the top 5 news from today's practice.
Honorable Mention) Gettis is Shaken Up
Gettis is down. Looks like his back— James Dator (@James_Dator) July 28, 2013
Gettis takes a hard fall and Norman lands on him. Slow getting up. Dismissed trainer helping him off.— Jonathan Jones (@jjones9) July 28, 2013
Already missing nearly two seasons due to injury and on the roster bubble, another setback was the last thing David Gettis needed. According to reports, Gettis hurt his back and was shaken up after Josh Norman fell on him. Fortunately, he was able to walk on his own power with trainers and finished practice. His health is something to monitor in the coming days.
5) Silatolu Makes Great Strides
Silatolu looks like he's slimmed down a little, but in a good way. More athletic— James Dator (@James_Dator) July 28, 2013
Silatolu pulls with great speed. He's having an excellent day— James Dator (@James_Dator) July 28, 2013
It what appears to be the lone bright spot of the offensive line today, left guard Amini Silatolu was impressive in his blocks and pulls. This is consistent with many of the reports coming from OTAs and practices. And seeing the way he handled rookie defensive tackle Star Lotulelei in the video from Panthers.com, Silatolu is starting to look like the guy the Panthers front office envisioned when he was drafted in the 2nd round last year.
4) Barner and Ginn Impress
Cam is throwing well today. LaFell and Ginn most impressive receivers today— James Dator (@James_Dator) July 28, 2013
Thought RB Kenjon Barner looked the part today. Broke into the open field for a few long gains.— Max Henson (@PanthersMax) July 28, 2013
Ted Ginn catching everything today.— Joe Person (@josephperson) July 28, 2013
The acquisitions of Kenjon Barner and Ted Ginn, Jr., show that the Panthers want to inject speed in their offense and special teams. In the first practice in pads, these two really stood out. Ginn showed explosion in his routes and caught nearly all balls his way. He will have every opportunity to be the #3 WR.
With Stewart's health still unpredictable, Barner will also have every opportunity to make the roster and fill in as the #3 RB. He showed nice cuts and exploded for long gains during today's practice.
3) More Blitzing
I'm a fan of all these safety blitzes— James Dator (@James_Dator) July 28, 2013
New S Mike Mitchell being used a lot in blitz packages, which he did a lot in Oakland as well.— Joe Person (@josephperson) July 28, 2013
Today was a continuation of the new wrinkle added to the Panthers defense: more blitzes. Defensive coordinator Sean McDermott was well known for incredible blitz schemes in Philadelphia, but has toned down since his arrival to Carolina, as a result of his personnel.
With the shakeup in the secondary and linebackers, it appears that McDermott is going back to his bread and butter. As CanadianPanther notes, it remains to be seen if it can be effective with the Panthers' average secondary being exposed.
2) Amazing Defensive Line or Terrible Offensive Line?
Hardy abuses Gross, had a sack on Cam in a real game.— Cat Scratch Reader (@CatScratchReadr) July 28, 2013
The OL looks really ugly. Bright spot: Silatolu looks great today— James Dator (@James_Dator) July 28, 2013
By all accounts, the offensive line was exposed today in practice by the "Monstrz, Inc." defensive line. Led by Charles Johnson and Greg Hardy, Cam Newton and the offense were hounded all day.
While the tweets kept bemoaning the poor play and depth of the offensive line, I interpret it as the defensive line being in midseason form. I expect the offensive line to improve slightly as camp continues, but quite frankly, as I wrote earlier last week, this might be too prolific a line for our offensive line to handle.
1) Great Wide Receivers or Poor Secondary Play?
So far, WR @TedGinnJr_19 has been impressive in the first padded practice of #PanthersCamp, displaying great hands. And yeah, he's fast.— Carolina Panthers (@Panthers) July 28, 2013
WR Brandon LaFell letting his presence be known with pair of nice catches for big gainers from Cam Newton over course of three snaps.— Bryan Strickland (@PanthersBryan) July 28, 2013
And that's the end of practice. Thanks for following today. Good showing by the WRs— James Dator (@James_Dator) July 28, 2013
Sense a theme? Just as the defensive line dominated the offensive line, so did the wide receivers against their counterparts in the secondary. Multiple tweets praised the play of the wide receivers today, exploding out of their stances, making circus catches, and plucking balls out of the air.
While upon first glance it looks like the wide receiver group is solid, I believe it is more of a results of poor secondary play. Although they have a clear disadvantage on 7-on-7 drills, the secondary also struggled on 11-on-11 drills. Look for this to continue until the Panthers finally settle on starters and a consistent rotation.

The Associated Press reports that Qwest Communications Intl., Inc. is "setting aside a reserve of at least $100 million to cover potential liability from stockholder lawsuits and federal investigations." The announcement was made as part of the company's recent Form 10-K filing, in which Qwest did not specify the exact amount of the reserve, but stated "it is probable that all but $100 million of the recorded reserve will be recoverable out of a portion of the insurance proceeds, but the use and allocation of these proceeds has yet to be resolved between us and individual insureds."
There seems little doubt that any settlement of the securities class action pending against Qwest in the D. of Colo. is likely to be for a significant sum (see this post in The 10b-5 Daily).Posted by Lyle Roberts at March 12, 2004 7:11 PM | TrackBack

Ellison's Must Read of the Day
My must read of the day is "Worried Senators Press Obama on Health Law," in the Wall Street Journal.
My must read of the day is "Worried Senators Press Obama on Health Law," in the Wall Street Journal.
Democrat Terry McAuliffe would not say how much his expansive education plans would cost at a Wednesday night Virginia gubernatorial debate, despite being pressed by the moderator, debate panelists, and reporters.
Terry McAuliffe, the Democratic candidate for Virginia governor, mostly avoided energy policy in a speech at a Thursday event on energy policy, signaling to his critics that he would rather not discuss his own record in that area.
Former Virginia Democratic Gov. Tim Kaine helped the investment firm that backed a struggling electric car company then headed by current Democratic gubernatorial candidate Terry McAuliffe shortly after state officials criticized the company's business model as overly reliant on political connections.
As the Virginia gubernatorial race heats up, Terry McAuliffe once again called on Ken Cuccinelli to return gifts from a controversial donor—but his ethical concerns appear to only extend to his Republican opponent.
Virginia Democratic gubernatorial candidate Terry McAuliffe was caught telling a lie regarding Republican opponent Ken Cuccinelli being implicated in a major state ethics investigation during Saturday's debate.
The leading candidates for Virginia governor will meet for their first debate on Saturday, where Democrat Terry McAuliffe will likely face criticism of business deals that have netted him millions despite their relative lack of success.
Democrat Terry McAuliffe was deeply involved in a 1990s scheme to illegally aid in the election of a major union boss in exchange for large contributions from the union to the Democratic Party's war chest, according to a Democratic Governors Association official.
Virginia Democratic gubernatorial candidate Terry McAuliffe is getting help on the campaign trail from climate scientist Michael Mann, the figure at the center of a scandal that came to be known as Climategate.
The Richmond Times-Dispatch put Democratic Virginia gubernatorial candidate Terry McAuliffe's evolving position on offshore oil drilling to the test with its Flip-O-Meter. The result: a Full Flop.

There is nothing as delicious as falling in love, and nothing as devastating as falling out of love. When this happens, we have a unique opportunity to to open more fully to our experience and to more complete relationships with others. This requires that we step out of the "pseudo-religion" of romantic love so prevalent in our western culture and engage in the real romance of care for another person. We will explore the romantic expectations of love relationships and how, through meditation practice, we might work more closely with the dynamics of masculine and feminine, independence and intimacy. This is a meditation weekend open to students at all levels of Buddhist meditation practice.
Judith Simmer-Brown has practiced Tibetan Buddhism for over 35 years and is an Acharya (senior dharma teacher) of the Shambhala Buddhist lineage. She is professor of Religious Studies at Naropa University in Boulder, Colorado.

Jim Crace
Should Jim Crace Retire?
February 28, 2013
Jim Crace announced he was done with fiction five years ago, but he's still writing.
Getting to the End
May 21, 2007
The Road By Cormac McCarthy (Alfred A. Knopf, 241 pp., $24) IN ADDITION to the 9/11 novel, and the 9/11 novel that is pretending not to be a 9/11 novel, an old genre has been re-awakened by new fears: the post-apocalyptic novel (which may well be, in fact, the 9/11 novel pretending not to be one). The possibility that familiar, habitual existence might be so disrupted within the next hundred years that crops will fail, warm places will turn into deserts, and species will become extinct—that areas of the earth may become uninhabitable—holds and horrifies the contemporary imagination.

If God loves us, how can he watch people burn in hell for eternity?
Being loving does not mean that others can't be punished. A parent who loves his child with an incredible depth will discipline his child when needed. In fact, to not discipline the child when it is needed would not be loving at all as that would be an encouragement to the child to rebel and do wrong.
God is not only love. God is also just, holy, and righteous. He must punish the sinner who has broken his law and who has refused to receive the atoning sacrifice by which the sinner can escape God's righteous judgment.
It is not a contradiction to say that God both loves us and punishes us. Both are within the divine character of God's greatness; and though we may not understand or even appreciate how God can love so greatly and also punish so permanently, we must accept the fact that God, who is the righteous judge, loves us (by dying for us on the cross) and judges us when we refuse to receive his love and sacrifice.

Disclaimers first:
1. What follows is not an apples-to-apples comparison, obviously. Although '09 Giants/'10 Cowboys are kind of a wash, as are '09 Rams/'10 Rams. So this sorta comes down to '09 Lions in Detroit vs. '10 Texans in Washington. Pretty clear that the latter is the better team.
2. Yes, we are Jason Campbell sympathizers; No, we are not trying to suggest the team was necessarily better last season under him (or Zorn).
3. This is a small sample size. OR IS IT? It's 1/5 of the season, so it's not THAT small.
Here are the team stats through the first three games of this season vs. the first three games of last season:
2010 vs 2009
Pts scored: 56 vs 40
Pts allowed: 67 vs 49
Pt Diff: -11 vs -9
Yards gained: 1000 vs 1024
Yards allowed: 1271 vs 977
Yard diff: -271 vs +47
Pass yards: 797 vs 749
Rush yards: 223 vs 275
Turnovers: 2 vs 4
Takeaways: 4 vs 3
TO diff: +2 vs -1
Record: 1-2 vs 1-2
The good news: The Skins are positive on takeaways, and … um … their record isn't worse than last season.
The bad news: They're scoring more, but they're also giving up more (again, we have to take into account the Texans, but still they're -11 vs -9 in differential). They're negative on yard differential in a HUGE way. The 2010 team has actually gained less total yards than last year's team, which is kind of amazing. The Skins mortgaged the future for this year after hitting what we'd all probably agree was complete rock-bottom last season. Yet through three games, the Redskins are marginally better than '09 … maybe.
The horrible news: The next four games are against the Eagles, Packers, Colts and Bears. It's hard to be optimistic about that stretch right now.

By Jennifer Emert - bio | email ALBANY, GA (WALB) - Investigators need your help to catch a Reynolds man who led deputies on a high speed chase through three counties at speeds that topped 100 miles per hour.
We've got dash cam video of the chase that followed a burglary at a Schley County home. You can see where Bentrice Turner makes a daring move to pass a car on the right at speeds over 100 miles an hour just outside of Andersonville. He also threw a stolen laptop and other items out of the car.
Sheriff's deputies chased him from Sumter County into Macon County and on to Taylor County. Turner eventually ditched the car in a trailer park on Hicks Trailer Park Road and ran. Anyone with information on his whereabouts is asked to call their local Sheriff's office.

HATTIESBURG, Miss. - Mayor Johnny DuPree is speaking out about his thoughts on the campaign process.
DuPree beat City Councilman Dave Ware by 37 votes. It was a tight race all the way to the end.
"We are still going through the process," said DuPree. "They are evaluating the ballots."
The mayor said he knew that running against Ware wasn't going to be an easy win.
"There's only two ways to run, unopposed or scared, and I wasn't unopposed so I guess I had to be the other one" he said. "We're excited that we had a 37 vote lead and we're excited that we have the opportunity to lead for another four years."
It's no secret that there's been a lot of controversy surrounding the his campaign that's come to light over the past few days. DuPree said he hast paid too much attention to it.
"I have no idea what people are saying, but I do know that the process works," he said. "At the end of the day you hope the people accept the votes."
DuPree has worked in public office more than 20 years. He said there's one main thing he's learned from his journey.
"I've learned that you need to listen to the people," he said. "I've learned that you do things for the right reasons, things usually work out."
DuPree will be sworn in office again on July 1.

Ron Artest awoke from his slumber. His eyes opened at the usual rate, but with significantly more protest than usual. Something was amiss from his usual sleeping pattern...
"42," He thought to himself...
"42?" He pondered.
Ron Ron reached for his jock... It wasn't there.
"Peculiar," thought Ron Ron, "Where did I leave my jock?"
Artest began searching, curious regarding it's fate. He scurried here and there, hither and tither. To no avail.
His eyes strayed to the Rose Garden floor.
"White," he thought to himself, then he busied himself resuming looking for his lost jock.
After some long moments involving a Rose Garden security guard, an unruly fan, and a pet psychic, Ron thought:
Ron's brain struggled to find something to connect it to.
"Dunk," his brain said.
Satisfied, Ron continued on his quest for the lost jock, but an annoying buzzing pestered him.
"Roy," thought Artest
But what did that mean? He had 400 boxes of Nilla Wafers in his locker, yet he was not sure exactly why.
There must be some explanation.
"Roy, score." Of course.
His brain satisfied with a simple answer, Ronny thought about making himself scrambled eggs.
"Wait..." He thought. "What is this?"
"White," said his brain.

ESPN NFL Draft analyst Mel Kiper re-grades the Eagles 2013 NFL Draft. Is the new grade better or worse?
Just when you thought you might be in for a long, boring offseason drought, a Wednesday in mid-January reignites the excitement!
Johnny Football is an upset choice for the top pick.
A wrapup of SEC and NCAA news for April 28, 2010.
Matt (Orlando) Who will be there for the Bucs at the top of round 2? Any explosiveness at WR? Or do they go with Arenas, a perfect cover-2 corner? Mel Kiper: (1:37 PM) Yeah, I project them to take Golden Tate. That would be a possibility for them at that point.http://espn.go.com/sportsnation/chat/_/id/31732/football-guru-mel-kiper
Mel Kiper just moved Sam Bradford ahead of Jimmy Clausen on his big board. Bradford went from #5 to #4 and Clausen dropped from 4th to 7th. Kiper says, "Based on what I'm hearing regarding the health of his shoulder, I've moved Sam Bradford ahead of Jimmy Clausen. That's not a huge surprise, because I've been saying it since Bradford was hurt -- this is a guy who was a potential No. 1 pick last year, and a physical issue that, from all indications, simply won't detract at all from what Bradford can do."
Mel Kiper Jr and the rest of the folks who cover the NFL draft did another fantastic job. The fact that fans can so passionately debate this is reason #1
This is it . . . the big day. I have heard a college football fan compare the N.F.L. draft to carousel from "Logan's Run," in which youngsters reach a certain age and are carried up into the sky,...

A lot of people say this year's NFL draft is one of the worst ever for quarterbacks. Is it because of spread offenses in college, or a lack of them in the NFL?

Tomorrow (Saturday 3rd of April) brings the 2010 chapter of The Two Oceans Marathon! The Two Oceans Marathon was first run in 1970, and has been recognized as one of the world's most beautiful race routes ever since. The name tells all - runners start in Newlands, head out to Noordhoek and across Cape country. Taking on the incline of Chapman's Peak, promising a view of both the Pacific and Indian oceans. This year's race will be just as spectacular as the last, but runners should note that weather reports are partly cloudy skies, a strong southerly and a serious seventy percent humidity. The Two Oceans includes a 56km ultra marathon, the popular 21km half marathon and the 5km or 2.5km fun runs. All in all the Two

In the lead up to the 2010 Soccer World Cup, we thought it may be of interest to take a look see what the historical weather patterns for Cape Town are during the months of June and July. It seems that many of the foreigners traveling to South Africa for World Cup have no idea that South Africa will actually be experiencing winter during their stay. Moreover, it is also apparent that many do not realize that South Africa has several micro climates. Whilst sunshine and warm weather during the daytime applies to the Northern parts of South Africa (Like Johannesburg; Nelspruit and Pretoria), Cape Town has a Mediterranean climate - so rain and windy conditions are more prevalent, and probable.

Though I disagree with some things that Roach says, more often than not, I tend to lean more towards his honesty in certain situations. It seems as if Team Pacquiao is already playing damage control in the event that Manny looks bad in this fight, or possibly loses.
With that in mind, Im also inclined to believe that this is simply promotion on Roach's part to gain interest in the fight. What do you guys think? Bluffing? Pre-meditated excuses?

Rev. Robert J. Sirico, president of the Acton Institute criticizes Rev. Jim Wallis, the founder of Sojourner's Magazine. Wallis, the "self-appointed chaplain to the Democratic National Committee" as Sirico calls him, was recently revealed to be taking money from George Soros, a charge he denied at first but was finally forced to confirm as more proof was offered. Sirico correctly critiques Wallis for his conflation of religion into politics, particularly using the poor to justify financial bloat and the imposition of debt on future generations. Source: National Review Online | Rev. Robert J. Sirico It is telling that the Washington Post report on the religious Left's Circle of Protection campaign for big government describes the effort as one that would "send chills through any politician who looks to churches and religious groups as a source of large voting blocs," because, in fact, this is not an honest faith-inspired campaign … [Read more...]

SarahNET Radio
Friday night in Philadelphia, Governor Sarah Palin proved what we already expected. She was the perfect choice to keynote an event designed to honor Terri Schiavo and defend life. Palin delivered a heartfelt speech at the Terri Schiavo Life & Hope Network's Award Gala in front of a packed ballroom of supporters. "Her plight, her journey, taught Americans who we are and what we can be," Palin said speaking about Schiavo. "Her story is certainly not over." Governor Palin referred to Schiavo as a beautiful young woman with unquenchable spirit. She assured the crowd that Terri continues to teach with a spirit that is alive.
The battle for life in this country is an ongoing struggle. Palin has been on the front lines defending the unborn as well as those in a persistent vegetative state. Terri Schiavo's case captured the nation back in 2005 when despite the best efforts of her family, she was allowed to starve to death. Governor Palin contends Terri did not die in vain. "The fight is not over," Palin said. Terri is still teaching us. We're gaining momentum. Terri's making a difference."
"She led the way with her determination and the declaration that she wanted to live," said Palin.
When it comes to personal experience with life issues, Sarah Palin has more clout than most. Fittingly, she discussed them at the Schiavo event. Palin recalled her pregnancy in 2008 and how she kept it out of the public eye until she was seven months along even though she was in the daily spotlight as governor. She said in Alaska it's easier to hide a pregnancy than in most states because you can always add layers. But eventually folks started wondering if she was getting "chunky". Palin had just become the youngest governor in state history and the first woman to serve in the high office. The last thing she needed was the good old boys pointing the finger at her for getting pregnant. Finally she let the press and America know she was in fact expecting. She had been thrown a "curve ball".
Palin pointed out that she was no spring chicken at the time and she prayed about her new addition. She joked that even though her name is Sarah her husband's name is not Abraham!
Once doctors determined the new Palin baby would have Down Syndrome, they were overcome with a slew of feelings and emotions. Many in this country immediately suggest abortion in cases like this. Todd and Sarah Palin chose life. A new baby boy was born. "Trig melted into my arms," Palin said. "What a blessing he is."
"I can't imagine life without Trig," Palin continued. "He is our life. He is our world."
The family soon had another curve ball thrown at them when eldest daughter Bristol, a teen at the time, announced she was pregnant. Bristol also chose life. The "right decision", as Governor Palin put it Friday night. Shortly after Bristol's big news, John McCain asked Governor Palin to be his running mate on the national Republican ticket. Palin fondly remembered thinking "why not?!"
While choosing to keep a special needs child is not the same situation as what Terri Schiavo's family went through, Palin can certainly relate to the faith, hope, and love displayed by Schiavo's family, the Schindlers. Palin let them know their Terri still matters. "All the Terris of the world are worth it," Palin said.
Perhaps the most poignant part of the speech was Palin's questioning of just who gets to determine so-called "quality of life". She pointed out that the answer is certainly not some DC bureaucrat.
Palin drew laughs when she spoke of her bumper sticker that reads "My kid has more chromosomes than your kid." She panned Dr. Ezekiel Emanuel, ripped ObamaCare, and talked about how she brought death panels to light. The idea was originally scoffed at by many. Now, even some liberals have to admit this glaring truth.
Loud roars of approval were thrown Palin's way throughout her detailed remarks including when she encouraged Americans from "Florida to Alaska to Philadelphia; From your house to The White Hose" to stand up for life.
"We're God's," Palin said with conviction. "We have worth that's immeasurable."
As she customarily does Palin asked military members and vets in the audience to stand to be recognized. On this special night however she also called on others to be noticed. Along with our brave men and women in uniform, Governor Palin paid tribute to doctors, clergy members, and the Schindlers, Terri Schiavo's tireless, loving family.
Governor Palin also thanked the Catholic school girls who were on hand to volunteer at the gala.
Some actually have said that Terri Schiavo's starvation death was "merciful". Governor Palin compared that "marginalized life" thought process to the mindset of Hitler.
Sarah Palin has a unique and powerful way of reaching us on the issues that are most precious. She accomplished this once again this weekend.
"The family is the cornerstone of our society," Palin said. "From the tiniest baby in the womb to the most powerful man in the world, we are equal." These comments were met with roars of approval.
America is the greatest nation in the world. Sarah Palin knows one of the reasons for this is our defense of life.
"One man's pursuit of happiness must not take away another's right to life," Palin said.

Channing does a Q&A in Propeller magazine comparing Portland and Phoenix: http://propellermag.com/
PROPELLER: If Phoenix/Portland were an action film, what would the protagonist say before blowing the place sky-high?
Phoenix: These tamales are EXTRA hot!
Portland: This DEFINITELY isn't organic.
PROPELLER: If Phoenix/Portland were a hole on a mini-golf course, what would its features be?
CHANNING FRYE: On the Phoenix hole, you have to contend with a cactus, sheriff Joe Arpio, U of A, and a thermometer. The Portland hole makes you thread it between Portlandia, a sturgeon, a hipster, and a hippie.

Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC) heavyweight contender Alistair Overeem withdrew from his UFC 160 fight against Junior dos Santos, scheduled for May 25, 2013 in Las Vegas, Nevada, after suffering a slight tear in his quadriceps.
That's the bad news.
The good news is, "Demolition Man" is only expected to miss 4-5 weeks of action, which means he could return to the Octagon as early as UFC 162, the promotion's annual Fourth of July weekend extravaganza, also in "Sin City," according to an update from UFC Tonight.
So why didn't they just move his bout against "Cigano" to the July 6 fight card?
That was Overeem's first request, but by that point, the Brazilian had soured on the "weird" situation that could have potentially compromised his "dedication and money" after already committing to fight camp. Dos Santos insists he would have waited if the Dutchman was division champion, according to these comments, but he's not, and the show must go on.
And the "The Reem" doesn't exactly have the best track record when it comes to showing up on time.
No matter, as his loss is Mark Hunt's gain, though the portly power-puncher should probably send a thank you note to the mixed martial arts (MMA) fan base, after they nearly crashed the Twitter servers during their #Rally4MarkHunt, which is like the Occupy Wall Street movement, only with more broken bones.
Whoever said "no man is an island," never had to play matchmaker for Overeem.
With his recent troubles -- along with most of the top dogs in the division having already been tied to a pay-per-view (PPV) tree -- the former Strikeforce Heavyweight Champion will have to move down, rather than up, when finding his next opponent, which means we need all you fantasy bookers out there to let us know where he fits into the 265-pound puzzle.

Agreed. Some of us local politicos discussed a campaign to get him to switch after he was elected in 04. Pity we didn't try harder, then.
I've talked to some other Dems, one of whom will run if Schwarz doesn't. But if Schwarz runs, consensus is he wins the primary and general. The biggest problem is Schwarz is apparently putting off a decision until May, and some of the other Dems would like to get started if they're going to run.

Remember Me
I had an opportunity this past weekend to catch up with high school classmates and friends from the DJHS class of 1978 as we celebrated our 35th reunion. Those of you who were unable to attend missed out on a wonderful time. We talked about our changing lives and enjoyed a weekend full of activities. It was a joy to hear about all the children, grandchildren and what was going on in the lives of my friends and classmates.
I would like to thank the businesses and people that helped make our weekend a success. My parents, Gary and Louise Sroufe, opened their home to myself, Ronda Buettner Jenkins, Mel Stant Line and Beth Poling Bergfeld on Thursday evening for dinner. We prepared all the prizes for our raffle/auction and enjoyed an evening of food and fun.
Thanks to classmate Penny Pimpas Gerdeman and her family who provided a room where we enjoyed a nice visit and good food after the DJHS Homecoming Game on Friday. It was great to catch up and celebrate a Wildcat victory.
Saturday, we enjoyed a fabulous evening of cocktails and dinner. The kitchen and wait staff was top notch and our meal was fantastic! A big thank you to Cammy Miller who helped set up the evening for us. Our centerpieces were beautiful fresh flower arrangements designed by Jessica Casemier Rudasill. These arrangements were delivered to local nursing home at the end of the evening for the residents to enjoy.
Sunday morning, a few of us met for coffee and brunch. The food was great.
A big thank you to my partners in crime, Ronda Buettner Jenkins and Bonnie Hohlbein, for their efforts in putting together the reunion. It truly was a joint effort and we had fun doing it.
Thank you to all the Delphos businesses, classmates and everyone who helped make our weekend one to remember.

I am writing this letter to support the Emergency Services for the City of Delphos.
In lieu of recent events, it is my understanding the City of Delphos is nearly eliminating the Fire Department and significantly reducing the Police Department in an effort to reduce expenses. Let's ask ourselves, is this prudent?
Where is the prioritization? One must distinguish from what is needed and what is wanted in the City of Delphos.
I would think almost certainly life safety would be at the very top of the lists as a necessity but sadly, it does not seem to be so.
I agree one must balance a budget. If necessary, cut costs and implement change but at what cost?
Sometimes whirlwind cuts can leave a community without sufficient resources to respond to emergency calls safely and effectively. The events that have taken place seem to be a situation of planning resources to budget rather than budgeting to the proper plan. So often cuts to precious resources are made without understanding the adverse impact to the community.
Without the proper staffing of the fire department, response time, without question, will be compromised. Your full-time firefighters are your first responders. In any emergency situation, a full-time firefighter is leaving the station within 15-30 seconds of receiving that call and typically arriving within three-five minutes to the scene. Therefore, to save lives and limit property damage, firefighters must arrive at the right time with the adequate resources to do the job.
Without your first responders, you will have to wait. Volunteers will have to drive from their homes to the station and then to the scene. Keep this in mind: 1) A typical house fire doubles in size every 60 seconds. 2) In a cardiac arrest, there is a six-minute window of opportunity to intervene. Without intervention in a timely manner, irreversible brain damage will ensue. 3) In victims of trauma where blood loss is significant, this will escalate to a point of irreparable damage.
Ask yourself, do you want to wait and wait some more in an emergency situation when it's your loved one? I know everyone thinks, "it won't happen to me." What if it does?
There is also the issue of your ISO rating. A reduction in resources may affect the ISO classification and in turn, possibly change the insurance rates for residential and commercial property in the community. Decision-makers need to understand the overall effect of resource-reduction decisions before making them.
More often than not, we take the fire, police and EMS for granted. They work long hours, nights, weekends, holidays and miss many family functions to protect our lives. God bless the men and women on our fire departments, police departments and EMS who protect our lives and property through preparedness, prevention, public education and emergency response with quality service, efficiency, effectiveness and safety.

If you've met our Little Ringo, the first thing you may notice is his relentless attention to whatever it is that has caught his attention at the time. He has a one-track mind.
Our neighbor girl recently brought home three rabbits for her FFA SAE project and her dad built the hutch for the little furry bundles.
A simple Thank You doesn't seem enough to say to those whose hard work and dedication made this past weekend's Canal Days Festival such a huge success. It starts with the Canal Days Committee and continues with the hundreds of others who sold food, ran pageants, organized events, manned museums and art shows, cleaned up or just simply helped. You all exemplify the great, indomitable spirit of Delphos.
And finally, Krendl, or as most people around here know him, Paul Krendl Not only is he an incredibly talented illusionist and entertainer, he is also a genuinely good guy. After Saturday evening's performance, he stayed after the show to sign autographs and have pictures taken until the last person left nearly 40 minutes later. And he did it all with a big smile and genuine enthusiasm. Very proud he's a Delphos kid.
To those who simply enjoyed the weekend, next year step up and lend a hand. Be part of something great!
Bob Ebbeskotte
As a citizen of Delphos and a member of Delphos City Council, I am writing this letter in support of the 1/4 percent income tax proposal on the November ballot. This 1/4 percent income tax would cost a wage earner $2.50 on every $1,000 earned.
I originally ran for City Council more than 14 years ago because I enjoy living in Delphos and raising my family here and I thought I could make a difference. The 1/4 percent income tax will not solve all of our problems over night but it will get us headed in the right direction. Over the past 14 years on Council, I feel I have made a real effort to make the right decisions on issues before Council. It certainly has been my intent to make decisions based on what is right for the City of Delphos.
I am asking for your support for the 1/4 percent income tax when you go to the polls on Nov. 5 to make sure Delphos continues to be a city we can all be proud of.
Thanks for your support,
Kevin Osting
Councilman at Large

LUBBOCK, TX (KCBD) - TxDOT wants to de-certify a section of highway inside the city limits. If it's approved, the city would then take over maintenance of two stretches of road. And TxDOT would relieve the city of responsibility for one stretch of road.
Here are the proposed changes. First TxDOT would give up responsibility of Avenue A from the Slaton Highway up to 4th Street. It would no longer be a U.S. Highway business route. TxDOT would also give up responsibility for 34th Street between Avenue A and Martin Luther King Blvd. TxDOT would then take over responsibility for East 50th Street between Interstate 27 and Southeast Drive.
The idea comes before City Council on Wednesday.

After three months with red light cameras, the City of Lubbock issued its first progress report Tuesday.
Lubbock accidents are down 5.5 percent overall, but accidents at photo enforced intersections increased dramatically. Crashes between July and September 2006 totaled 93. Between July and September of 2007, accidents were up to 140.
Crashes due to red light runners are down, from 22 to 21. However, rear end collisions over that same three month period nearly doubled, from 42 to 80. For critics of the red light cameras, rear end collisions were their number one concern.
As for citations, authorities say they have only managed to collect on sixty percent of all citations issued.
City officials say it is still too soon to decide whether the cameras are working.
