Solar farm will ruin our landscape
12:20pm Tuesday 12th November 2013 in News
A SOLAR farm with 40,000 panels will be a blight on the landscape, it is claimed.
Maldon District Council is considering an application by Little Horkesley-based Lightsource Renewable Energy for a 23-hectare solar farm on fields south of Beckingham Road, Great Totham.
Helen White, 44, of Plains Road, Little Totham, said covering fields with solar panels would be completely out of keeping with the area and is determined to fight the proposals.
She said: "The visual impact of this is huge.
"There is a huge public objection, I would say about 99.9 per cent of the village is against it."
A decision on the solar farm, which would generate enough electricity to power 3,073 homes, will be made at a planning and licensing committee meeting on Thursday.
Robert Long, district councillor for Tolleshunt D'Arcy, is among the councillors who have objected to the plans.
He said: "I feel that in this modern age the wind farms, the wind mills and the solar panel farms have become the modern version of satanic mills on our green and pleasant land."
Fergus Howie, of Wicks Manor Farm in Tolleshunt Major.
He said he is disappointed with the councillors' views.
"There's no way we can create power by building nucleur power stations and burning fossil fuels," he said.
"We have as good as ruined the world and created global warming. Why can't people wake up to the fact that the sun is there and can create clean energy?"
Mr Howie plans to plant clover and allow sheep to graze around the panels.
He said on a sunny day, 204 solar panels at Wicks Manor Farm produce one-third of the electricity the farm used in a day.

Personally I'd quite like to have my home powered this way. You would get use to the change in view -and it's certainly better than having 800 houses built on the land.

Surely Ms White and Councillor Long would rather we use clean, renewable energy than rely on fossil fuels and nuclear which are far more damaging to the world than a spoilt view!
Wake up and educate yourself in what is happening to your world.
Good luck Mr Howie with your application.

Brandon McArthur signs with independent baseball team
By Post Staff
The Brandon McArthur Story doesn't exactly have a happy ending, but the Gators' hard-luck third baseman gets to at least keep playing baseball after graduating from UF this spring.
McArthur wasn't selected in June's MLB Draft, and hasn't been able to find a team willing to sign him. So to keep his dream alive, McArthur recently signed a professional baseball contract with the Traverse City (Mich.) Beach Bums of the independent Frontier League. (And in a strange bit of fate, he will play his games in Wuerfel Park.)
It's a bit of a sad ending for McArthur, who was a 2003 fifth-round draft pick by the Minnesota Twins out of Seffner-Armwood High but turned them down to attend Florida.
You know the rest: Getting punched in the head by the random stranger, cracking his head on the sidewalk, undergoing three brain operations, returning to the baseball team, tearing a ligament in his elbow, returning again, tearing his ACL, and returning again.
"It's been rough," he told me in May. "But no regrets at all. I can look back and regret some things, but then I'll beat myself up over it."
But McArthur has plenty of reasons to be proud. He batted .338 with 41 RBI in 2008, and finished with a 3.21 GPA andreceived his bachelor's degree in criminology and is working towards a master's degree in anthropology. He was a four-time selection to the SEC Academic Honor Roll and was named to the SEC Baseball Community Service Team for the second-consecutive year. McArthur was also presented the Lowe's Senior CLASS Award during the 2009 NCAA College World Series for having "personal qualities that define a complete student-athlete, with criteria including excellence in the classroom, character and community, as well as competition on the field."

Riverside County Chief Executive Officer Jay Orr is used to being center stage during Board of Supervisors' meetings.
But Tuesday, Dec. 4, Orr stepped in front of the supervisors' dais to accept a surprise honor – an American flag flown during a battle in a classified location in Afghanistan.
Supervisors presented the flag to Orr on behalf of his son, Michael, a U.S. Army first lieutenant who just returned home after a combat tour.
"He's honored us by allowing us to present that to you here today," Supervisor John Benoit told Jay Orr.
The CEO was caught off-guard by the ceremony, which wasn't on the board's agenda.
"I appreciate all the veterans that serve and especially the American Legion being here today to honor veterans as well," Orr said. Members of the legion's District 21 were on-hand for a ceremony marking the resolution of a controversy surrounding a cross honoring World War I veterans which was on public land.

- Break a clothes hanger in half. You can do this easily by repeatedly bending it in the middle until it snaps. Bend each side into a bow shape.
- Lay one bow on your sheer fabric. Cut a jagged shape that will drape nicely from the hanger. Cut along the curve of the hanger, too. You should end up with a jagged shape as in the picture to the right. Hot glue the upper edge of the fabric along the hanger. Repeat for the other wing.
- Twist the hangers together at the ends. You may need pliers to do this. Wrap the ends of the hangers with more of the sheer fabric or a coordinating fabric.
- Attach two lengths of ribbon where the hangers meet to hang the wings at your shoulders. Thick ribbon works best, or you can twist together many pieces of thin ribbon.

Kelly AuCoin and Peter Maloney Set for THE QUARE LAND Reading at Irish Rep Today
The Irish Repertory Theatre continues the eighth season of its Reading Series with John McManus's play The Quare Land, which will be read by Kelly AuCoin (The Call, Julius Caesar) and Peter Maloney (Outside Mullingar, John Guare's Three Kinds of Exile). The reading of The Quare Land will take place today, April 25 at 3pm on the Francis J. Greenburger Mainstage of the Irish Repertory Theatre (132 W. 22nd Street). The reading is FREE and open to the public. An RSVP to the Irish Repertory Theatre Box Office at (212) 727-2737 is strongly suggested.
In The Quare Land, 90-year-old Cavan bachelor farmer Hugh Pugh is taking his first bath in four years when he receives an unexpected visitor - Rob McNulty, a property developer under pressure to buy a field in order to extend his nine-hole golf course in Leitrim. He expects to be able to negotiate a quick deal but since Hugh seldom has any visitors to his lonely farmstead, he is not about to let Rob slip away without a big chat first. Rob eventually gets Hugh to discuss selling the field and when it comes to negotiating a price for the land Hugh proves himself to be far from the 'eejit' he makes himself out to be. The two men come to an agreement, but at a cost to both of them.
John McManus (Playwright) is from Ballyconnell in County Cavan. His first play was No Hate Going To Loss, a radio drama which won the RTE P.J. O'Connor award in 2005. He came joint third in the same competition in 2008 with Will You Swap Knees With Me? His first stage play, A Lock of Fierce Roars, was given a public reading by Druid Theatre Company in 2008. The Quare Land, was first produced in the 2010 Galway Arts Festival by the Galway Arts Centre and Decadent Theatre Company. It toured Ireland with Decadent in 2011 and again in 2013 with an independent theatre company called Moth Productions who are currently also touring his A Lock of Fierce Roars. He completed the New Playwrights Programme at the Abbey Theatre, Dublin in 2013 and has a play, Klondike in development with the Abbey literary department.
The Irish Repertory Theatre "encourages the development of works focusing on the Irish and Irish American experience, as well as a range of other cultures." According to Kara Manning, Irish Rep's Literary Manager, "This Reading Series aims to give playwrights, both emerging and more established, the invaluable opportunity to develop their new work in a supportive, safe environment and will also introduce some Irish playwrights, especially those who might not yet have the New York recognition they merit, to an American audience."
The 2013-14 Irish Rep Reading Series is underwritten in part by Alexis Doyle, Patricia Smith, and the members of the Irish Rep's Patron's Circle.
Founded by Ciarán O'Reilly and Charlotte Moore, The Irish Repertory Theatre opened its doors in September 1988 with Sean O'Casey's The Plough and the Stars. The Irish Rep is currently the only year-round theatre company in New York City devoted to bringing Irish and Irish American works to the stage. Recognized with the Jujamcyn Theatres Award, a special Drama Desk Award for "Excellence in Presenting Distinguished Irish Drama," and the Lucille Lortel Award for "Outstanding Body of Work," The Irish Rep has celebrated the very best in Irish theatre for over twenty years, from the masters to the new generation of Irish and Irish American writers who are transforming the stage. Nearly 38,000 audience members annually attend productions at our theatre located in the heart of New York's Off Broadway community. Once here, they witness The Irish Rep's engaging perspective on the Irish and their unique contributions to the world of drama.
The Irish Rep Reading Series readings are at 3 PM unless otherwise noted and are located at The Irish Repertory Theatre (132 West 22nd Street). Tickets are free and the reading is open to the public. Seating is limited. RSVP by calling The Irish Repertory Theatre Box Office at (212) 727-2737.

We also wonder if Katniss would have been able to kill Peeta when it came down to the two of them. If she had to kill Peeta would her life be better dead and regretting killing Peeta or dying with him. We point out the theme that if you look at life through a different perspective, it can be better. Peeta is a role model for not changing who he is because of society.

Ready to upgrade your tripod? Figure out which one you want because now is the time to buy.If you're a serious photographer, you can't truly get by without a tripod. You can buy the best camera out there, but your low light photos will still come out blurry if you try to hand-hold the camera with a long shutter speed. You need something strong and steady, as well as light, so you can hike it in all those miles. Sounds like Carbon Fiber to me!

I will tell you that I think the itty bitty Gorilla pods are not useful for full - sized DSLRs. I have an old aluminum adjustable tripod; it's jsut over one lb. and I can hook it on my compression straps. Plus it is waaaaaay cheaper than a carbon fiber tripod which is only a few oz. lighter.
I have a Sony Cybershot DSC-W290 that I use in conjunction with a Gorillapod, I have to say they work pretty well together. The Gorilla pod can take some time to get it to hold the camera exactly how you want it, but when you get the frame set it holds pretty solidly.

Well, I spent an hour and half typing up a recap for the game and my laptop shut off, despite having 15% battery left. No drafts were saved. Thats kind of how I felt after the game tonight: stunned and dejected.
I'll spare you my attempt at a Pulitzer that was the game summary, and get straight to the good stuff...
The Offense: Its tough to sum up what the Pirates did wrong in a sentence, so I'll break it up.
- 1-on-1, Why did most of the offense (outside of the first 10 minutes) consist of individuals taking the ball to the hoop and taking contested, running shots? Its no coincidence that this offensive game plan coincided with the Pirates poor play for the final 30 minutes.
- Offensive sets. I may have selective memory, but a Jeff Robinson iso was called coming out of a crucial time out. C'mon coach. On that note, I didn't see many other set plays that worked. Very reminiscent of Gonzo's offensive sets, or lack thereof.
- The team shot horribly from the arc, save the last two minutes. Temple was able to shoot 2-12 because they made all of their running shots, and when they missed? They snatched up the offensive boards. Seton Hall was unable to do either.
The Defense: Not as bad as the offense. The press was mildly effective, although the Owls seemed to beat it consistently in the first half. Willard had the team drop into a 2-3 zone when some of the reserves were in. They also played a lot of man. Temple was dominant in the paint. Lavoy Allen, Michael Eric and Rahlil Jefferson were phenomenal. They made beautiful passes in the paint and finished more often than not when taking it to the tin, something Jeff Robinson, Herb Pope and Ferrakohn Hall all failed to do.
Overall: 29% from the field. 5-17 (29%) from 3PT. Out rebounded by 16 (13 offensive). Ouch. The box score doesn't lie tonight. Nor does it do justice to how badly the Pirates were outplayed.
The Good:
Jamel Jackson - JJax proved he can make a few shots against a competent opponent. 8 points in 11 minutes (2-3 from 3PT).
Free Throw Shooting - The Pirates were 13-16 (81%) from the line. Nice and a definite improvement from last year's struggles.
The Bad:
Jeff Robinson - I hate to single out players, but Robinson was out played again. He was out rebounded a few times and man handled on defense. Frankly, on defense, he looked disinterested. NBA Draft? You've got to be kidding me. As usual, he took a few questionable shots. The Pirates need Jeff to step up and return to form that we saw in the second half of BIG EAST play last year.
The Ugly:
Bench contribution: 3-of-17 from the field (17%) in 64 minutes. Ouch.
The box score - I've already mulled over the poor shooting and rebounding, but you can see for yourself, here: Box Score
The Liacouras Center - Section 207 was right at the entrance to the building, so I didn't explore. However, the facility looked great. Around 150+ Pirate faithful were able to make the trip tonight. A few "Lets Go Pirates" chants were made early in the first half, but there was nothing to cheer about from there on out.
Aaron Geramipoor - Not seen tonight, as expected. Still battling mononucleosis.
Anali Okoloji - The only player besides Gatling to not see the floor. I'm not even positive I saw Anali tonight, I'm sure he was on the bench, but I was behind the basket furthest from the Seton Hall bench, so I wasn't able to see.
Shaheen Holloway - Sha looked like the head coach in the closing minutes as Willard was standing towards the corner of the court. I'm not saying an assistant coach doesn't take over at times, its just notable.
Substitution - Willard went 10 men deep, all of which played 10 or more minutes. While this has its advantages, I found myself asking why Hall and Jackson were on the court instead of Pope and Theodore.
Looking forward:
Fortunately, the team and us fans don't have to mull over this game for too long. The Pirates return home to play Cornell on Sunday at Noon, on SNY.
It will be interesting to see how much tonight's result was due to the Temple defense (they held 10 teams to 50 or less points last season) being themselves, and how much it was the Seton Hall offense faltering. Was tonight simply a rough first game for a new coach, on the road, against one of the best defensive teams in the nation? Or was it a pre-cursor to what we will see for the next 29+ games? Let's hope the former.

Dr. Pete Nathe is one of Yakima's top practitioners of advanced cosmetic and neuromuscular dentistry. Treating those with severe dental reconstruction needs and TMJ pain, as well as patients desiring a beautiful "LVI" smile makeover, Dr. Nathe is passionate about his profession.
"Patients may be surprised to learn that I am even more enthusiastic about dentistry than I was when I graduated from dental school twenty years ago! I have seen first-hand the joy and confidence that comes with a beautiful new smile and take pride in my expertise and artistry as a cosmetic dentist. My true fulfillment comes in treating TMJ disorders and witnessing the life-enhancing effects of neuromuscular dentistry." - Dr. Nathe, Cosmetic Dentist Yakima, WA
Dr. Nathe as a dentist in Yakima, WA is a believer in the power of education and technology. He is one of only 600 dentists nationwide to be admitted as a fellow to the Las Vegas Institute For Advanced Dental Studies where he has completed rigorous post-graduate clinical training. In his office, he uses digital radiography and photography, laser detection of decay and K-7 computer technology for the diagnosis of TMJ problems and for the establishment of the ideal and most comfortable bite.
"In many ways, my dental education began in 2000 when I took my first course at LVI. I became convinced of the extreme importance of experience and training in the more complex dental disciplines of advanced cosmetic dentistry, full mouth rehabilitation and TMJ treatment and diagnosis. I believe my investment in continuing education at LVI over the past four years has been invaluable. I am also thrilled to be able to offer the very latest technology in my practice."
Dr. Nathe understands the fears of the high anxiety dental patient and feels a deep sense of compassion for those who suffer from dental pain and disease because they are too fearful to seek treatment. He and his staff have been trained by the Dental Organization for Conscious Sedation (DOCS) and offer oral sedation to their patients.
"It is exciting and rewarding to help patients receive dental treatment who otherwise would continue to suffer from disease and pain. It is a thrill to be there when they wake up to their new smile!"
Achieving and maintaining optimal health is the entire focus of Dr. Nathe's dental philosophy. He is a Yakima cosmetic dentist who believes that a healthy smile can be a life-long gift and it is his mission to help each of his patients get their dream smile and keep that smile healthy for the rest of their lives.
"I am very proactive when it comes to dental health. I use a laser to detect the early stages of decay while it can still be treated with air abrasion technology which involves gently removing decay with a stream of air and powder and then sealing the tooth with a tooth-colored resin. I have developed a special protocol for my patients at high risk of dental decay or periodontal disease.

Learning to eat gluten free is an adventure. The easiest way to get off to the right track is to understand what you can eat and what you can't. We've come up with a free gluten free food list to get you started on your own customized list. We'll discuss what foods are naturally gluten free, what kinds of gluten substitutes you can buy and how to keep your kids happy as well!
Gluten Free – Naturally
There are hundreds of foods that naturally do not contain gluten. Keep in mind though that when you eat these foods raw or prepare them yourself you can be assured that you will not be consuming gluten, but if you buy them processed in any way there is a risk. Some methods of preparation can contain hidden gluten. For example, ingredients like 'modified food starch' do not really say what kind of starch it is. Does it come from wheat or corn? If it's corn, it is no problem but if it's wheat then you've got a gluten-containing product. The problem is, you can't really know without contacting the manufacturer.Of all foods, natural foods are what belong on a safe gluten free food list because they have not been processed in any way.
Some naturally gluten-free foods are:
Gluten Replacements
Instead of wheat flours look for flours made from rice, amaranth, corn, tapioca, potato starch, teff flour and other wheat, rye and barley substitutes. You can also find a wide variety of pre-made gluten free mixes on the market. Don't forget beer! You can enjoy gluten free alcohol as well, just be sure to check the ingredients.
Gluten Free & Kid Approved
Creating a gluten free food list for kids can be slightly more of a challenge. If your children are school-age, they may wonder why their friends can have macaroni and cheese and pizza and they cannot. The solution is to find a way to make all the popular "kid's foods" in a gluten free way. Using gluten free flours, and even ready-made gluten free products from the store, you can create all your child's favorites and be assured that they're eating healthy too.
It is a good idea to stock up on kid-friendly products. Gluten free crackers, cookies and baking mixes are now all available in many grocery stores. Feeling different and deprived can be a challenge for some, so make living a gluten-free lifestyle easier by removing that feeling of deprivation by always having great foods available – whether you make them yourself or buy them ready-to-go.

PHOENIX (AP) - Arizona officials are asking deer and elk hunters help the state monitor for a wildlife disease that's already present in numerous other states.
The Game and Fish Department wants hunters to allow department personnel, taxidermists and wildlife meat processors to collect tissue samples deer and elk killed by hunters.
The department is looking for signs of chronic wasting disease. It has been detected in 22 states and Canadian provinces, including the neighboring states of Utah, Colorado and New Mexico.
The department says no samples have tested positive in Arizona so far.

After a start to the season which has left much to be desired, here is a cold hard look at where the Cowboys stand. I will attempt to keep my meaningless opinions and reactionary analysis out of this as much possible.
By the Numbers
- 7th in Total Offense
- 24th in Points/Game
- 2nd in Total Defense
- 20th in Points allowed
These stats illustrate the idea that the Cowboys can move the ball offensively like the best teams in the league and score points like the worst. Not to be outdone by the offense, the defense, can statistically limit opposing offenses like a truly elite unit, except in the only statistical category that holds any bearing on the teams record, the scoreboard.
The Cowboys are 4th overall in penalties with 46 for 330 yards through 5 games. 15 of those penalties, and 75 of those yards, have come by way of false start calls which, you guessed it, Dallas leads the league in. Doug Free and Tyron Smith share the honor of most penalized player in the league with 8 calls apiece, which is fantastic considering they both start on the same offense line for the... you guessed it, Dallas Cowboys.
Dallas is tied for 29th in turnover differential with -8. Taking this stat a step further shows that the Cowboys have caused only 4 total turnovers, in 5 games, 1 int and 3 fum. Romo's 9 interceptions this year are good enough to tie him for 2nd in the league along with Matt Cassel and Andy Dalton. Only Brandon Weeden has thrown more with 10.
The situation in Dallas is simple, this team cant score, stop other teams from scoring, stop taking penalties, stop turning the ball over, or turn the ball over for themselves and have thus far compiled a 2-3 record while staring down this remaining schedule????
@ Carolina
@ Atlanta
@ Philly
@ Cincy
New Orleans
@ Washington
In order to win even be a .500 football team at the end of the season, the team mentioned above would have to win 6 of those games remaining. What do you think??

Daily keeper talks help bring attention to issues sea otters face in the wild
Otter lovers, be aware! The Oregon Zoo and Friends of the Sea Otter celebrate Sea Otter Awareness Week, Sept. 22-28 — seven days aimed at showcasing these playful marine mammals and highlighting their critical role in the North Pacific ecosystem.
At 2:30 p.m. each day, visitors can stop by the zoo's Steller Cove exhibit to hear keeper talks and watch the zoo's two sea otters, Thelma and Eddie, scarf down enrichment treats or participate in training sessions.
"Sea otters are listed as threatened on the Endangered Species list," said keeper Jenny DeGroot, the zoo's sea otter lead. "They eat a lot of invertebrates that filter the seawater, so anything that winds up in the water — pollution, oil spills, etc. — can wind up in the sea otters as well."
Sea Otter Awareness Week began in 2003 with a goal of educating people about these animals, their natural history and the threats they face. Considered a keystone species, sea otters play critical role in the Pacific Coast marine ecosystem, promoting healthy kelp forests, which in turn support thousands of organisms.
Sea otters once ranged along the north Pacific Rim from Japan to Baja California, including along the Oregon coast, and are thought to have numbered between 150,000 to 300,000 animals. Prized for their soft, luxurious fur, the animals were hunted to the brink of extinction during the late 1800s and early 1900s. By 1911, aggressive fur-trapping campaigns had reduced the global sea otter population to around 2,000. Although now protected against trapping, sea otters are threatened by oil spills, fishing nets and infectious diseases. Biologists estimate the population has dropped by 50 percent over the past 30 years. Wild sea otters have not established colonies off the Oregon coast since 1907, though a few individual otters have been sighted, most recently in Depoe Bay in 2009.

Wild sea otters have not established colonies off the Oregon coast since 1907, though a few individuals have been sighted, most recently in Depoe Bay in 2009.
Eddie and Thelma have lived at the Oregon Zoo since 2000, on long-term loan from the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service. Both otters were rescued off the coast of California, where they had been abandoned as pups in 1998. Lacking the skills to survive on their own in the wild, they were taken to the Monterey Bay Aquarium for rehabilitation but were eventually deemed non-releasable.
Learn more about the Oregon Zoo's sea otters and how to help protect sea otters in the wild on the Oregon Zoo sea otter page.
The Oregon Zoo is a service of Metro and is dedicated to its mission of inspiring the community to create a better future for wildlife. Committed to conservation, the zoo is currently working to save endangered California condors, Columbia Basin pygmy rabbits, Oregon silverspot and Taylor's checkerspot butterflies, Western pond turtles and Oregon spotted frogs. Other projects include studies on black rhinos, Asian elephants, polar bears and bats.
The zoo relies in part on community support through donations to the Oregon Zoo Foundation to undertake these and many other animal welfare, education and sustainability programs. The zoo is located five minutes from downtown Portland, just off Highway 26 at exit 72. The zoo is also accessible by MAX light rail line. Visitors who travel to the zoo via MAX receive $1.50 off zoo admission. Find fare and route information online or by calling TriMet Customer Service at 503-238-RIDE (7433).
General zoo admission is $10.50 (ages 12-64), $9 for seniors (65 and up), $7.50 for children (ages 3-11) and free for those 2 and younger; 25 cents of the admission price helps fund regional conservation projects through the zoo's Future for Wildlife program. A parking fee of $4 per car is also required. Additional information is available by calling 503-226-1561.

text: Bon Jovi live on a CD? Well of course! This band finally has given its fans an experience to enjoy the concert expectation without the hassle of lining up for tickets, finding some place to park and then struggling to get the best seat in the house. Music and energy even your best stereo system can learn to appreciate. Songs compiled in a fashionable manner, delivered in custom taste and presented with all best intentions. Myself, typically more a devotee for a band's studio recordings, this album proves the rare exception. For now, let's forget endless greatest hit compilations and take time to delve into the wild and rockin' music of the live concert. After hearing this diamond disc would anyone dare care to see any concert show again? No sense needing to go hear music that lasts for one night and ends only with a terrible hangover late into the next morning with some bruised left shoulder adding to the pain and discomfort. Instead, why not take your favorite gal (or guy) and make out by a cracklin' fire with champagne bubbling between your lips while imagining your favorite rock band has made a special effort to perform live at your abode especially for you? Perfect example of how both technology and musicians' awareness can perpetrate the live show straight to your home or portable CD player without making ya feel like you're just some other bumped head in a crowd.

Given Utah's buzzer-beater against San Antonio earlier this season and their most recent game which Utah forced into overtime in San Antonio, I wonder if there's enough evidence there to suggest that there could be the outside chance Utah is turning the tide slightly against their most dominating foe in recent years. Looking at the last 3 regular season games Utah has played against the Spurs, I compare those games to the previous 9, 4 of them including the playoff sweep last season.
First of all, Utah is 2-10 against the Spurs under Corbin. One of those wins was won at the end of last season, when Popovich decided to not send his big three (Parker, Duncan, Ginobili) to SLC and rest them instead. It's hard to throw out all the data encapsulated in that game, but it isn't worth considering a worthy win against the same but really different team against all the other 11 games.
One of the biggest differences this season? Utah is shooting 42.86% from the 3-point line against San Antonio this season (3 games) as compared to 25.21% in their previous 9 meetings (playoffs included). While SA is shooting better as well (Utah's weaker backcourt?), their improvement from the arc is half of Utah's improvement from that region. San Antonio FG% remains around 48% for the last 3 games and the previous 9, so no real change there (hard to say anything about shot selection clusterings). As far as considering how some of our 3-pointers shoot during the regular season compared to playoffs
Marvin Williams: In his 2 previous seasons, he improved upon his regular season 3-point shooting % (33.6-38.9%) to 50% in the playoffs in the most recent playoff season. Last year, he made 12-24 3-pointers for the Hawks in 6 playoff games.
Randy Foye: Last season, Randy Foye went from shooting 38.6% from the arc during the regular season to 43.8% in the playoffs for the Clippers. Last year was his first year in the playoffs. Randy Foye could turn out to be a playoff killer for other teams with his streaky hot shooting.
Gordon Hayward: Last season, Hayward shot 34.5% from the arc and the shot a measly 8.3% in the playoffs. However, Hayward did go 16-16 from the free-throw line, which is somewhere Utah can still make some gains (FTA's).
Mo Williams: Mo shot 38.9% during the regular season for the Clippers last year, and then dropped to 36.4% in the playoffs. However, that was as a backup PG. As a starting PG, Mo shot around 43% during the regular season the years he went to the playoffs for Cleveland, but then shot between 32% - 37% in the playoffs at the end of those seasons.
On an added note to Utah's improved 3-point shooting (Hayward and Foye over 40% and Mo close at 38%), last season in the playoffs Utah shot 20% from 3-point range, and in their previous 5 regular season games under Corbin leading up to those playoffs Utah shot 28.8% from the 3 -point line. This season, Utah is shooting 42.85% from the 3-point line against San Antonio. Hopefully that trend will continue.
In the last 3 games against San Antonio, Utah has only given them 21.67 FTA per game as compared to 26 FTA per game in the previous 9 games, even though Utah's PF stand about the same for the two periods (21.55 PF per game compared to 21.66 PF per game). Utah's averaged 2 more FTA per game against San Antonio this season compared to the previous 9 (Favors and Hayward could have the most to do with that).
FTA's per 36 minutes comparing regular season numbers to playoff numbers against the Spurs last season with their regular season mpg compared to their playoff mpg in parenthesis:
Gordon Hayward : 4.1 - 4.0 (30.5 - 30.8 mpg)
Derrick Favors : 5.1 - 9.0 (21.2 - 29.0 mpg)
Paul Millsap : 5.7 - 4.1 (32.8 - 34.8 mpg)
Al Jefferson : 3.1 - 1.0 (34.0 - 35.3 mpg)
Alec Burks : 2.4 - 3.5 (18.0 - 15.8 mpg)
No one else seems to be capable of getting to the free-throw line as or more frequently, let alone get there at will. Mo Williams is only averaging 1.7 FTA per game this season, which is crazy, because he shoots 88.9% from the charity stripe. He has averaged 4.67 FTA in his last 3 games, a lot of those coming at the end of the recent Brooklyn game where he confidently went 6-6.
Utah is also forcing San Antonio to make more turnovers in 3 games this season compared to the previous 9 games (15.67 - 13.33 TO per game).
This season, Utah is also averaging 4 more assists per game compared to their 9 previous games against the Spurs (22.33 - 18.11 APG). This could be due to the increased 3-point shooting %, but regardless hopefully is the result of an extra key pass made to the right spot within the right time window. San Antonio's APG are also up this season as compared to their 9 previous games against Utah, but again, Utah's improvement in the APG category is almost twice San Antonio's improvement, so maybe it is mostly due to the improved 3P shooting.
There are probably a lot of more or less important details to look at, like how Utah does on defense against the Spurs, or pace, or the fact that Utah's not exactly the same team it was last playoff season for the simple reason that a lot of guys are playing in new roles (Foye, Mo, Marvin, DMC?).
Speaking of DeMarre Carroll, he grabbed 2 more rebounds per 36 minutes in the playoffs compared to the regular season, and he shot 10% better from FG range in getting about 1 more minute per game.
If the playoffs were to start tomorrow, I would give Utah a 20% chance of knocking off the Spurs, because Utah has the ability to improve getting to the free throw line with Hayward, Favors, and Millsap all very capable of that. Mo Williams has also demonstrated he can get to the FT line if he attacks the rim (or at least gets guys open in the process). Utah has also shown more willingness to rely on Favors for defensive and sometimes offensive support. Biggest of all has been Utah's improvement in shooting from the arc, and if there's one way Marvin Williams knows how to sting the Spurs with a dose of their own medicine, it's from the corner 3.
This data is simply to suggest that the tide could be slowly changing between Utah and the Spurs (hopefully Dennis Lindsey is a sign and or part of that). Utah beat them last time in SLC and pushed them into OT in San Antonio, and Utah seems to be getting more competitive against them as games come and go. If Corbin can figure out some ways to get some more gains out of our rotations (assuming Kanter is out the rest of the season), and maybe we'll see a more Favors-dominated/influenced playoff series against the Spurs, maybe DMC, Marvin Williams, Pasty Gangster, and Burks can up the defense even more between now and the playoffs to be slightly better than bad on defense. If recent games are any indication, Utah has shown glimpses and signs of defense-ability.

white smoke from chimneyI saw white smoke from my chimney and my tech opened the flu and we did not see any steam coming from the flu after the boiler was hot and running. I was afraid of a cracked heat exchange, I have had this happen to me 2x before ( don't know why and only after about 10 years of use. This boiler is a weil-mcclain and it is in use since april 2006. the batting around the inside of the boiler is dry. could this just be normal due to the cold air and the hot steam hitting it? any other suggestions?
Thanks in advance.
ps. any one that has not read it should read Dan's book on steamheat. I bought it a few years ago and it has been very helpful.
Thanks Dan!!!

is it steam?Look at the flue gas outlet of the chimney. If you see a gap then the white plume, it is steam and not "smoke".
One of two things come to mind:
a) your heat exchanger is cracked leaking water into the combustion chamber or
b) you just elected a new Pope

white smoke from chimneyNew pope is not till next week!!!
We didn't see any smoke or steam coming out of the furnace going up the chimney from the inside. It was very white, I am thinking steam I am hoping steam. There are no other indications that the boiler is cracked. Just hoping for someone to tell me this is normal. I noticed it on my neighbors chimney also, don't know what kind of heat that have. mine is gas.

white smoke from chimneysmoke is just seen when heat is coming up after being off.
automatic water feed was coming on too often...the "Bell" screen was clogged. we got that cleared up and the the furnace was back to normal but I was still noticing the white smoke. It seems to be ok now but that smoke thing is bothering me.

the steam will be clear until cooledwhat boiler and what fuel are you using? The steam is not visible until it is cooled to water vapor. As asked are you using much water?Cost is what you spend , value is what you get.

Sounds normalBig byproduct of combustion is water vapor so common if cold out to see white steam coming out of the flue pipe of a gas product. More when first started, once things warm up it will decrease. If mild and dry, may not be visible. Cold and damp, really noticable and may never stop being visible.

A certain amountof white smoke from the chimney is quite normal -- particularly on days when it is cold, but the humidity is relatively high. Combustion creates a good bit of water vapour, and when it hits the cold air it condenses. If the humidity is high enough, you will see it -- but it should evaporate again and disappear into the air pretty fast.
Beyond a certain amount, however, and you have a leak... The question is, of course, how much is too much? And the only really good way to answer that is to keep an eagle eye on your water level in the boiler -- which, hopefully, you have been doing. If it starts dropping faster than it used to, that's a potential problem and should be followed up. On the other hand, if the water usage is just as it always has been, I'd say not to worry... much...Jamie

Freshman Raven Chavanne
March 20, 2010
Tennessee-Georgia Box Score Game Two
By Brian Davis, Assistant Media Relations Director<
KNOXVILLE, Tenn. - A decisive sixth-inning helped No. 6 Georgia (21-4, 2-3 Southeastern Conference) rally from a 5-1 deficit to down No. 17 Tennessee (21-6, 3-2 SEC), 10-6, and earn a split in Saturday's series-opening doubleheader in front of a season-high 1,002 fans at the Lee Softball Stadium. The two squads will contest the "rubber match" on Sunday at 1 p.m. ET.
UT's offense registered seven hits in the match-up and got home runs from senior first baseman Erinn Webb (1-for-3, three-run HR) and freshman left fielder Raven Chavanne (2-for-4, RBI, run, stolen base). Sophomore Ashley Andrews posted a 2-for-3 game at the plate and made several sparkling plays at shortstop for the Lady Vol defense.
In the circle sophomore Jessica Spigner dropped to 1-1 on the season, allowing three runs on two hits with a walk in relief. Starter Cat Hosfield gave up four tallies on five hits with five walks and three strikeouts over 6.1 innings of work. Freshman Ivy Renfroe permitted three runs on a trio of hits with a K in two-thirds of a frame.
"I thought we played really well today at times," Lady Vol co-head coach Ralph Weekly said. "It was an up-and-down day for us. Our offense left a lot of runners on base in the second game. I'm proud of our team because we had some good play in the doubleheader. Ashley Andrews was fantastic at short, and Lauren Gibson's home run in the opener was a monster shot. Our kids fought hard all day long, but the thing about fast pitch is there are runs like in basketball. Georgia had its run in the sixth inning, and we didn't respond. They are ranked sixth in the country for a reason. We'll put this one behind us and move on to tomorrow's finale."
Tennessee's defense made the initial big play in the top of the first. After a one-out single off the bat of Georgia left fielder Megan Wiggins, Lady Vol second baseman Lauren Gibson corralled a bouncer from catcher Ashley Razey, turned and started an inning-ending 4-6-3 double play to conclude the frame.
Neither offense got anything going until the bottom of the second when UT struck for three two-out runs to nab a quick 3-0 advantage. A walk by freshman right fielder Kat Dotson, a stolen base and a groundout placed a Big Orange runner on third with two retired. Sophomore designated player Shelby Burchell drew a free pass, setting the stage for a three-run bomb to right center from Webb.
Junior center fielder Kelly Grieve christened UT's half of the third with a triple to right and later scored on a fielding error charged to UGA first baseman Brianna Hesson to make it 4-0.
The Bulldogs got one back on the scoreboard in the top of the fourth as center fielder Taylor Schlopy laced a home run just inside the foul pole in right to cut their deficit to 4-1.
The lead expanded right back to four tallies in the bottom of the fourth as Andrews tripled to open the frame and scored on a Grieve sacrifice fly to center.
Things were under Tennessee's control under the fateful top of the sixth inning when Georgia registered eight runs on five hits. A walk got it all started as Wiggins reached safely on the lead-off free pass. From there the contest unraveled for UT as Hesson tallied an RBI on a hit to deep short, designated player Kristyn Sandberg singled in a run, right fielder Jennie Auger delivered a sac fly, second baseman Ashley Pauly knocked in two tallies on a base hit through the right side of the infield and Wiggins blasted a three-run shot to right center.
Suddenly trailing 9-5 on the scoreboard, Chavanne tried her best to get the Lady Vol offense re-ignited, blasting her second homer of the season (a solo shot) to deep center with one out in the bottom of the sixth.
Unfortunately, the Bulldogs got that run back in the seventh on a solo HR by Hesson. UT went down in order from there as Georgia earned the split heading to tomorrow's series "rubber match" at 1 p.m.

California voters are angry and cynical. Polls show deep dissatisfaction with how the governor and Legislature have handled the state's fiscal crisis.
Many voters will be tempted to punish politicians, either by skipping the May 19 special election or by rejecting all six budget measures on the ballot. Either of those responses would be a mistake.
The outcome of the May 19 election could be the most crucial of any in a decade. If voters choose wisely, they could help close the state's deficit, an essential step for selling bonds, investing in public works and helping to stimulate the economy.
By contrast, a knee-jerk rejection could send the state back into a financial spiral and force lawmakers to enact further cuts to K-12 schools, higher education and social services.
An all-out rejection would play into the hands of anti-tax zealots who have a kamikaze strategy of tanking the state (theoretically, so they can reconstruct it to suit themselves).
It would empower big unions that oppose a spending limitation reform that is part of the most important measure on the ballot, Proposition 1A.
All of these propositions are complicated. All are the product of imperfect compromises necessary for the Legislature to pass them under California's two-thirds vote requirement.
People can have reasoned differences about several of these. But a blanket vote against them would be a mistake. Voters need to study the propositions and the ballot arguments. We did, and here are our recommendations.
'Yes' on Prop. 1A
This measure was the linchpin for February's budget deal, and its passage is essential for California to get through the current crisis and avoid more in the future.
If passed, Proposition 1A would do three main things:
Extend by one or two years the taxes that lawmakers approved in February on retail sales, vehicles and income. This would generate an estimated $16 billion between 2011 and 2013, helping to bridge future deficits and preventing deeper cuts to schools and social services.
Give the governor new authority to make midyear spending cuts during periods when state tax revenue unexpectedly dips.
Establish a long-needed reform that would prevent lawmakers from spending surplus tax revenue during good times, so it could be saved for lean years.
This last provision is the strongest reason to support Proposition 1A. During a recession, no one wants to raise taxes. But given that lawmakers have already cut tens of billions of dollars from state programs, a temporary rise in taxes must be part of the overall solution.
Yet if Californians are to bear the sacrifice of a temporary tax hike, they had better get a prize in return. The spending limitation measure is that prize.
Under Proposition 1A, state spending could grow no more each year than the average of revenue growth in the 10 previous years. If tax revenue exceeded that amount, the state would place the surplus in a fund that could be spent only in years where revenues fell below a set level.
Proposition 1A is not as draconian as a rigid spending cap, such as the one that Colorado voters approved and then later suspended in 2005.
Nonetheless, it would slow down the growth of spending and bring it more in line with the growth of inflation and population.
Had it been in place since 1998, California would have experienced only minor deficits, not the multibillion-dollar budget gaps that have been so tumultuous the past decade.
It's time to shut down the roller coaster. Vote "yes" on Proposition 1A.
'No' on Proposition 1B
At first glance, Proposition 1B seems attractive because it promises more money for schools in future years.
But voters should give this proposition a hard look. It makes spending commitments that could be a burden on the state as soon as 2011 while doing nothing to end the volatility of education expenditures.
Here are the politics: To pass a budget deal, the governor and lawmakers needed to reduce school spending along with that of other state programs. To make a tax increase palatable to Gov. Schwarzenegger and a few other Republicans, Democrats reluctantly agreed to place a spending limitation measure, Proposition 1A, on the ballot.
The trouble was, both of these actions -- reduced school spending and a future spending limitation -- drew the wrath of the California Teachers Association, one of Sacramento's power players. So to keep the CTA from either upending the budget deal or opposing Proposition 1A, the governor and legislative leaders cooked up a sweetener -- Proposition 1B.
In essence, this measure would settle a long-standing legal dispute over how much the state owes public education under Proposition 98, a convoluted school spending measure voters passed in 1988. Proposition 1B pegs the amount owed at $9.3 billion and directs annual installments on this amount to begin in 2011. That would generate payments that, according to the Legislative Analyst's Office, would be billions higher than current law allows.
We support public education, but that support has to be weighed against the harm caused by ballot box budgeting. Measures such as Proposition 98 have compounded California's fiscal woes and done little to ensure stable funding for schools. Proposition 1B is another chapter in this regrettable history, and within just two years it could create spending obligations the state couldn't afford.
If voters were to reject this measure, the CTA likely would go to the courts to achieve what it couldn't through the ballot box. Let it rip. Politicians may need to cut deals to get budgets passed, but voters don't need to rubber-stamp those deals.
This measure is a bad one for California and voters should say "no" to it.
'Yes' on Prop. 1C
We're no fan of state lotteries, but California voters approved one in 1984 and show no sign of reversing that position.
So it is reasonable to ask: Is the state getting all out of the lottery that it could?
Proponents of Proposition 1C make a convincing argument that the answer is no. They note that the lottery is one of the lowest-performing in the country. It hasn't been modernized in 25 years.
Better marketing and higher payouts to players, they argue, could boost revenues in the future and provide an infusion now.
If Proposition 1C passes, the state would be authorized to borrow now against future proceeds that a revamped lottery would bring.
The governor and lawmakers are counting on that loan to plug $5 billion of the state's expected budget hole next year.
Without it, they would be forced to cut $5 billion from the state budget, including further cuts to social services, education, law enforcement and health care.
This proposition is the toughest nut on the May 19 ballot. Convincing arguments can be made that the state must curtail its borrowing and that it shouldn't be in the business of tempting Californians to gamble.
But those arguments have to be weighed against this reality: Since lawmakers struck a budget deal in February, the state's revenue shortfall has grown to at least $8 billion.
Rejecting Proposition 1C would widen the gap to $13 billion. Lawmakers would then need to make cuts that most Californians couldn't tolerate, resulting in political stalemate and another slow march to insolvency.
That's a gamble that California can't afford to make. Vote "yes" on 1C.
'Yes' on Prop. 1D
This proposition would redirect tobacco tax funds from early education programs to the state's general fund. It is another unpleasant but necessary step for balancing the state's budget in coming years.
At issue is the money the state collects under Proposition 10, a 1998 initiative that taxed tobacco to curb youth smoking and pay for early education.
Over the years, it has funded a range of worthy First 5 programs, including dental services for children, smoking cessation for pregnant women, preschool and health insurance.
It has also generated a fair amount of unspent tobacco tax money, roughly $2.5 billion as of June. Proposition 1D would redirect up to $608 million of that money this year and $268 million yearly through 2013 to the general fund. That diverted money could go a long way toward avoiding tough cuts to health and welfare programs that are outside of the First 5 realm, including programs that help kids and families.
Proposition 1D wouldn't come without pain. If passed, it could make planning harder for local First 5 programs. But it's a prudent way for lawmakers to avoid cuts that could have immediate effects on families. Vote "yes" on Proposition 1D.
'Yes' on Proposition 1E
This measure is the twin of Proposition 1D. It would redirect unspent mental health funds to the general fund, to backfill money that would otherwise be cut from health programs.
In 2004, then-Assemblyman Darrell Steinberg and others persuaded voters to approve Proposition 63. It increased the income tax on California's top earners to pay for expanded mental health programs.
Now, in 2009, Proposition 63 has been generating cash for a number of worthy programs, but most of them are in the development stage and roughly $2.5 billion remains unspent.
Meanwhile, without a source of funding, the state could be forced to cut several hundred million dollars from mental health programs that existed before Proposition 63 was passed.
Proposition 1E provides a solution. It would divert $230 million annually for two years so the state would not be forced to reduce screening for mental health problems.
This wasn't an easy measure for Steinberg to support. Mental health advocacy groups and the legislative analyst note that diverting funds could cause problems for local governments that are planning on using the initiative's money for homeless shelters and other programs.
But Steinberg, to his credit, has stood by his support of Proposition 1E. He sees it rightly as an issue of protecting current services over those that are planned.
Voters should display similar courage by voting "yes" on Proposition 1E.
'Yes' on Prop. 1F
This proposition would prevent lawmakers and other state elected officials from receiving pay raises if the state budget was expected to end the fiscal year in a deficit.
It is one of the concessions that Sen. Abel Maldonado, R-Santa Maria, extracted from Democrats and the governor as the price for his budget vote in February.
Maldonado, exploiting an issue that is likely to play well with outraged voters, says it's unacceptable that lawmakers would receive pay hikes in years in which they can't balance the state's books.
Thus he became the father of Proposition 1F, which would apply to the governor and lawmakers and, oddly, elected officials who have no budgetary duties, such as the secretary of state.
Pundits have dismissed Proposition 1F as a cynical ploy by a politician hoping to curry favor with voters, and it's hard to argue with that assessment.
On the other hand, there's no real downside to this measure and a slim chance it might apply some needed pressure on lawmakers.
We can think of better ways to accomplish budget reform, but if it makes you feel better to take a whack at lawmakers, go right ahead. We all need ways to brighten our spirits these days.
Voting "yes" on Proposition 1F could be the perfect medicine.

I know the world is focused on the new iPhones (5C and 5S) with their cool colors, souped up power, and fingerprint scanner, but I think one of the early (and smaller) announcements during today's event has more far reaching implications than the devices. Implications that should scare the crap out of the folks in Redmond. Starting with iOS 7 (or sooner?) iWork (and iMovie and iPhoto) will be free on iOS. Free. Get an iPad or iPhone and have an office suite ready to be downloaded. For free. Paired with the free (sure it's beta now) iWork.com online suite, if I were Microsoft…well their Office 365 cash cow might be heading for the slaughterhouse.
None of the tech pubs I follow made much of the iWork announcement—The Verge, Mac|Life, The Next Web, TUAW—beyond that it will save people money. TNW did mention that it would boost users for its premium apps, but that's only part of the story. Microsoft is at a crossroads, a new CEO is coming and the business of software—even at the enterprise level—is pretty challenging. I've made my pitch that that there should be free versions of MS Office (since it seemed then we really have little other choice) now [pullquote]I think Microsoft has no choice by to offer a free version of Office or we'll look back at the fall of 2013 as the moment when Microsoft started to become obsolete[/pullquote].
iWork for iOS the cure for MS Office addiction
I see iOS devices as Apple's gateway drug to attract people to buy a Mac. Lots of people love iPhones and iPads and after a while it starts to make sense to just replace an aging PC with a Mac instead. So, if you have an iPad and start using Pages and Keynote ("Hey look I can open, edit, and email this Word document…Wow these Keynote presentations look cooler than PowerPoint…"), wouldn't you be interested or even primed to use iWork online (or if you have a Mac switch to iWork on the desktop)? Once you start using iWork, it's not going to be long before you wonder why you bother with MS Office at all (except, of course on the PC, where I doubt there will ever be iWork as a desktop app). This makes iWork for iOS the thin edge of the wedge for getting people away from MS Office on the desktop.
iWork for OS X the nail in MS Office's coffin
Now, what if and—I don't think this is a stretch—in a month or two when Apple announces that OS 10.9 Mavericks we learn that it will also come with iWork for free? We know from WWDC that iWork is getting more attention now, so a new iWork for free when you buy Mavericks would make smart sense. Buy a Mac, start it up and you have everything you need right off the bat to work. Nothing extra needed. Now where's MS Office? [pullquote]Where's the incentive to pay for another year of Office 365 or upgrade from an older version of Office (if you have a Mac)? None. Zip. Zilch.[/pullquote]
Yes, the world is dominated by Windows. Yes, iWork is only available on iOS and OS X, and that will be a selling point down the line, but here's the thing, a few nudges like iWork for free that are all it takes for people to start to look at OpenOffice, LibreOffice, and Google Docs as serious alternatives to MS Offfice. Serious and free alternatives to MS Office. Microsoft dominated the OS world because they got a quick foothold in the business world and from there MS Office (which was really born on the Mac) just took over. Now, the OS you use means less and less. Web-based tools don't really care if you're using a Mac, PC, or Linux. The trend towards simpler writing tools is making us less dependent on tools like Word.
I'm betting that iWork for iOS going free is going to start a lot of people wondering why they pay for office apps on their devices and machines. Then if iWork for OS X becomes free as well, then people aren't just going to wonder why they are paying for office apps—they might just stop paying for them altogether. Then Microsoft as little choice by to match Apple and set MS Office free as well. Checkmate Apple.

Attorney General Zoeller, Mayor Copeland
Indiana Attorney General Greg Zoeller and East Chicago Mayor Anthony Copeland held a news conference at the mayor's office this morning to release an update on the Indiana Attorney General's civil prosecution of a racketeering lawsuit filed nearly a decade ago. Zoeller today turned over to the City of East Chicago over 331-thousand dollars, collected from former longtime Mayor Robert Pastrick and his co-defendants, Zoeller saying today's conclusion of this lawsuit regarding the so-called "sidewalks for votes" scheme marked 'a milestone in restoring public trust'. Pastrick served as mayor of East Chicago for more than thirty years.
Here is more information from today's news release from the Indiana Attorney General's office:
The distribution to the City of East Chicago facilitated by the Attorney General includes $145,416.70, the amount liquidated from Pastrick after the U.S. Bankruptcy Court ruled March 25 that his assets were not exempt from a separate federal court judgment in the civil racketeering case.
Zoeller also distributed to the City $186,250, the amount remaining from settlements and judgments paid by Pastrick's co-defendants who were named in the Attorney General's original lawsuit brought under RICO, the federal Racketeer Influenced Corrupt Organizations statute.
Zoelle said the money turned over to the city today was a partial payment toward the approximately $24 million squandered in the sidewalk paving scheme intended to influence the 1999 mayoral primary election. Zoeller announced the distribution today with current Mayor Anthony Copeland.
Starting with a State Board of Accounts audit that asked the Attorney General's Office to recover the $24 million, then-Attorney General Steve Carter in 2004 filed suit against Pastrick and co-defendants in U.S. District Court under RICO seeking repayment and treble damages. The same year, Pastrick was defeated in a special election ordered by the Indiana Supreme Court when it found the 2003 mayoral election had been tainted by fraud. (It was through the intervention of the Attorney General's Office in challenging the 2003 election that the results were overturned and a special election ordered.)
In the RICO lawsuit, a federal district court in June 2009 entered a judgment against Pastrick on every racketeering count the State alleged. The judgment was the first time a U.S. court had found that a municipal government – the Pastrick administration – was a corrupt enterprise under federal racketeering law. In March 2010, U.S. District Court Judge James Moody ordered a treble damages award of $108 million against Pastrick. After Attorney General Zoeller started collection efforts through Rubin & Levin, a collection law firm, Pastrick filed a Chapter 7 bankruptcy petition to avoid consequences of the judgment. Initially the ex-mayor claimed the judgment could be discharged, or avoided, through bankruptcy.
The State, represented by Attorney General Zoeller's office, objected, contending Pastrick's civil judgment could not be legally discharged through bankruptcy due to the underlying theft and statutory penalties imposed. The State filed a motion for partial summary judgment in U.S. Bankruptcy Court and ultimately, Pastrick conceded: On August 16, 2012, Pastrick filed an amended answer, admitting liability on one of the counts the State alleged – that the debt is not dischargeable – and consenting to an entry of judgment for the full amount. On March 25, the U.S. Bankruptcy Court in South Bend ruled in the State's favor and found that Pastrick can't use bankruptcy to avoid the judgment.
The ruling by Judge Harry C. Dees marked the end of the State's adversary proceeding in U.S. Bankruptcy Court. In the remaining case, under the court's supervision, the bankruptcy trustee already had collected and sold for payment what portion remained of Pastrick's assets that legally were considered non-exempt. The City of East Chicago and the State of Indiana were the only creditors. The State received the trustee's distribution of $145,416.70 and Zoeller said the payment was turned over entirely to the city treasury, under the new management of current Mayor Copeland.
In litigating the original RICO suit, the Attorney General's Office previously obtained judgments against or settlements with co-defendants of Pastrick who were political associates or contractors who benefited from Pastrick's "sidewalks for votes" scheme. Zoeller also turned over the remaining unallocated funds paid by those co-defendants, $186,250 after legal expenses, to the City.

DescriptionKrowdByz is a web technology startup working to revolutionize the future of online business interactions, and creating virtual tools for the internet based freelancer community. Our customers are small businesses, internet professionals, and independent freelancers who work in the online services marketplace - one of the fastest growing industries worldwide. Our current product is a new kind of profile building engine for freelancers that do "micro-jobs" (think Fiverr and Elance), and need a different type of "web resume" to record their job history. (You can learn more about the company at www.KrowdByz.com)
We are currently looking for interns for the Spring semester, but reviewing applications for the Summer as well. Acceptances are on a rolling basis - you can start when you are ready - and continue for a 12 active weeks commitment.
As a startup, we subscribe to the decentralised lean development model, so our Tech and Business departments and associated personnel are spread across multiple cities and time zones. There is no central office - the bulk of our creative process happens in virtual collaborative environments - which allows us greater flexibility in recruiting talent, and working across geographic locations. Therefore, our Tech Department hosts a virtual internship that can be done from anywhere in the US, or anywhere in the world (and we welcome international applicants). This is not an internship for people who aren't independently motivated or are looking for a traditional office workplace (or a way to get a work visa).
This program requires participants to be serious about taking initiative, staying in contact, being willing to learn from and take critical feedback from their teammates, as well as be able to work with multiple partners (in locations around the world) within a virtual office space. There will be no fake work, no copies or coffee getting. You will get to work on real projects, work with a team, be creative, get mentorship, learn fast or miss out, and have your skills challenged and improved. And if you earn our respect through your dedication (and not just your skills) - there will be multiple supervisors to provide you with letters of recommendation and serve as a long term reference.
Disclaimer: Given vacancies in our Tech Department, and budget availability, at the end of the internship the best interns may be offered full time and part time positions with the company. Truly exceptional individuals may be approached sooner, or be offered paid internships. But participation in the internship itself does not guarantee placement in the Company.
Responsibilities- This program is for individuals from computer science or computer engineer majors with excellent logical, creative, and problem solving skills who are looking to be challenged, and have their skills be tested in a fast paced, international, collaborative environment.
- You will get to work on server and repository maintenance, creating internal interfaces for the company, and assisting developer teams in their projects.
- Include a list of your technical knowledge of UNIX/linux, Shell (SH, BASH, and/or Korn) scripting, Perl, Python. (Basic user-level UNIX/linux console operation and command knowledge required; Basic shell, Perl, or Python scripting required; the rest are preferred.)
- For networking specialisation: Knowledge of TCP/IP, routing, NAT, ARP, UDP, HTTP, SMTP, DNS, and other application common application level protocols (Basic knowledge of TCP/IP required; anything else preferred.)
- Experience with PHP is a plus as well, and you can potentially help with back-end development.
- To proceed to final interview, all applicants will be required to try completing the IT test assignment that can be found at www.krowdbyz.com/internships
RequirementsApplicants must have:
- A comprehensive resume detailing previous applicable experience (you can also add a cover letter to fill in gaps).
