Compensation for Physician Execs Sees Slow Growth
The 7% growth in physician executive compensation across all titles between 2010 and 2012 is consistent with growth seen in the previous two-year period, but down significantly from the mid-2000s.
Compensation for physician-executives increased in the past two years but at a much slower pace than five or six years ago, a survey shows.
The more than 2,300 physician-executives responding to the 2013 Physician Executive Compensation Survey by Cejka Executive Search reported a median total compensation of $325,000, up 7% from $305,000 reported in the 2011 survey.
The results were better in the C-Suite, where chief quality/patient safety officers reported compensation increases averaging 22% and other C-Suite executives reported increases averaging 25%.
"Physician executive compensation really reflects the slowness of the economic recovery and we believe the uncertainty of healthcare and healthcare reform. It kind of goes hand in hand," says Paul Esselman, executive vice president, managing principal at St. Louis-based Cejka.
"We saw an average for all physician executive compensation of about 7% between 2010 and 2012 across all titles. That is consistent with our survey that we did the previous two years, 2008–2010, but it is far behind what we historically saw back in the mid–2000s of 12% plus growth."

The New Silver, filmed in Bolivia, illustrates how access to capital can change the lives of both poor individuals and poor nations. Maria Cabana, whose husband is ill from working in the silver mines, seeks to secure a future for her children by starting a business with micro-credit loans. At the same time, Jaime Barrenechea, President of the State Gas and Oil Company, tries to balance the demands of the nations' poor and the requirements of foreign investors as he seeks capital to exploit Bolivia's natural gas reserves.
About "A Dollar a Day" Series
This poignant six-part international series of television documentaries shows what it means to live under the poverty line. The series chronicles people as they face diverse challenges, from finding basic needs like clean water, to competing in international markets.
The main characters in the series are people like Maria Cabana in Bolivia, Kurshida Bano in India, Bulewla Sima in South Africa, Sédou Dembele in Mali, Li Jieli in China and Redjo Seferovic in Bosnia. It is their stories and the stories of their husbands, wives, and children. Each represents one of the 1.2 billion people in the world living on less that a dollar a day. They live in rural villages and in urban shanty towns, and all are typical: they have few belongings, limited education, little access to jobs or capital, and are ruled by heavily indebted governments that lack the capacity or effective plans to help their poorest citizens.

NEW ORLEANS - Saints owner Tom Benson and state leaders are moving the ball down the field on the new sports and entertainment complex across the street from the Superdome.
As part of the deal that keeps the NFL franchise in Louisiana through 2025, the public-private partnership will re-develop the the now dormant, New Orleans Centre mall.
A planning firm is now mapping out phase one of the project.
That includes tearing down the old mall and building a new street-level plaza for tailgating and pre and post game partying.
"You will see change there within the next several months," said Doug Thornton, Executive Vice-President of SMG, the private contractor that manages the Dome and New Orleans Arena. "Our plan is to be underway with the demolition and construction of this plaza by say February first. Our plan is to have it activated for use by next football season, at some point during the football season."
Thornton says the new sports and entertainment district would be similar to LA-Live, outside the Staple center in Los Angeles.
Phase two would connect the new plaza with the Dome and Arena.
Phase three would be the opening of new restaurants, clubs and retail.
"It would be a place for people to gather pre and post game," said Thornton. "But, we want it to work on a regular business day as well."
Saints fans says the complex should include a wide variety of attractions.
"I'd like to see stuff where everybody can come and enjoy it, not just people looking to drink or just do wild stuff, said Mike Oster.
"Sports bars, restaurants," said Chris Cochran. "We all talked about it with the NFL theme."
"It would be nice if they can set up some barbecue pits." said Amanda Champagne.
Doug Thornton admits that getting the Katrina shuttered downtown Hyatt Regency back up and running is key to the success to the new sports and entertainment district. And, he says the owner, Poydras Properties, LLC is finally close to getting the financing needed to renovate and reopen the hotel.
"I don't want to speak for them, but there is movement and we're hopeful that their financing will be secured within the next 30 to 45 days and that project will be underway right after the first of the year," said Thornton.
Thornton also says he is already getting calls from businesses that want to be part of the new complex.

Created in collaboration with Germany's University of Applied Sciences in Offenburg and other academic groups, Schluckspecht, which in German means "heavy drinker," was able to go 1,013 miles in 36 hours on a single charge. That's huge compared to EVs available to the public like the Chevy Volt and the Nissan Leaf, which go 100 miles or less. According to Popular Science, Boozer even beat the previous record of the Mira EV, which was created by the Japan Electric Vehicle Club in 2010 and went 623.23 miles in 27.5 hours on a single charge.
Although Boozer only seats one, making it a poor option for the average person's use, the technology could be translated for future EVs, according to Popular Science:
Instead of an internal engine and transmission, the car has two wheel-mounted hub motors, which the Schluckspecht team first developed five years ago.
. . .
Engineers at the Fraunhofer Institute for High-Speed Dynamics built the car's featherweight chassis [700 pounds according to Consumerist], designed especially for EVs. The car has 14 lithium-cobalt battery packs, providing 23 kilowatt-hours of battery capacity. It moves at just 28 MPH, but the trade off is stamina — a major hurdle for electric vehicles in this country and Europe.
But how did Boozer get it's name, especially if it runs on a battery? Boozer was named after the gas-guzzling, first car developed by this team in 1998. The same team has been building prototypes for more than a decade.

November 16, 2003
Albany - Albany night clubs and restaurants can now sell alcohol until 2:00AM on Sundays. City commissioners tentatively agreed to extend the alcohol consumption hours.
Under current city rules, bars have to stop selling alcohol at midnight on Saturday nights, but they are allowed to stay open until 4:00AM. So now, city commissioners have extended the serving hours but will make night clubs close a little earlier. Clubs would now have to close at 2:30AM Sunday and by 3:00AM every other night.
"We reduced the hours on one end and gave thirty minutes to the clubs so they can continuously sell 2:00AM and don't have to leave until 2:30AM," said commissioner Tommy Postell.
In January, city commissioners voted to prohibit brown bagging which enraged owners of businesses like Club Insomnia and Club 229. The clubs didn't sell alcohol but allowed customers to brown bag, or bring in their own alcohol. Since they didn't sell alcohol, they could stay open until 4:00AM. And, police complained about violence at those late-night clubs.
Commissioner Tommy Postell says the new hours will hopefully stop people from breaking the brown bag ordinance and from staying out as late. "It would eliminate the clubs that are trying to spring up to catch people coming out of the other clubs, because now all businesses will have to close at three."
Commissioners also say the extra two hours of alcohol sales may draw more restaurants to Albany, especially downtown where revitalization is booming.
You still won't be able to buy alcohol by the package after midnight Saturday.

Battle of Forts Clinton & Montgomery - Conflict & Date:
The Battle of Forts Clinton & Montgomery was fought October 6, 1777, during the American Revolution (1775-1783).
Armies & Commanders
Battle of Forts Clinton & Montgomery - Background:
In the summer of 1777, Major General John Burgoyne began advancing south across Lake Champlain with the goal of securing the Hudson River and severing the New England colonies from those to the south. This campaign initially met with success as Fort Ticonderoga fell in early July and his troops inflicted a defeat on American forces at Hubbardton a few days later. Pressing south, Burgoyne's advance was soon slowed as his army suffered persistent logistical issues and was delayed by American troops. To the west, a supporting column under Brigadier General Barry St. Leger won a costly victory at Oriskany before being forced to retreat after the failed Siege of Fort Stanwix. Left to his own, Burgoyne suffered another reverse on August 16 when Hessian units from his army were badly beaten at the Battle of Bennington.
In embarking on his campaign, Burgoyne had anticipated assistance from General Sir William Howe's army in New York City. Howe's role in his junior's advance was never clearly defined by Lord George Germain, Secretary of State for the Colonies, nor was he issued orders from London to aid Burgoyne. As a result, though Burgoyne moved forward, Howe launched his own campaign to capture the American capital at Philadelphia. This proved successful as he took city in late September after defeating General George Washington at the Battle of Brandywine. In his absence, New York was held by forces led by Major General Sir Henry Clinton.
Battle of Forts Clinton & Montgomery - Clinton's Orders:
Before departing for Pennsylvania, Howe instructed Clinton to defend the city and only engage in offensive actions that aided this mission. This was somewhat mitigated by an allowance that he could support Burgoyne's advance as long as New York was properly protected. On September 12, Clinton wrote to Burgoyne that he planned to attack Fort Montgomery in the Hudson Highlands later in the month and asked if 2,000 men would be sufficient to assist his efforts further north. This letter was received nine days later after Burgoyne's army had fought the opening action of the Battle of Saratoga against American forces led by Major Generals Horatio Gates and Benedict Arnold.
Battle of Forts Clinton & Montgomery - American Defenses:
In the Hudson Highlands, Major General Israel Putnam held command of American troops in the region. These numbered around 1,000 at the main camp in Peekskill as well as an additional 600 at Forts Clinton and Montgomery. While the former was an established post, the latter was still under construction. A veteran of the French & Indian War, Putnam had also seen action at Bunker Hill and Long Island. Located to the north of Peekskill and on the west bank of the river, Forts Clinton and Montgomery guarded a massive chain which stretched across the Hudson to obstruct British ships. The western end of the chain was protected by Governor of New York George Clinton's garrison at Fort Montgomery. Situated to the south and across Popolopen Creek, Fort Clinton was overseen by Clinton's older brother, Brigadier General James Clinton.
Battle of Forts Clinton & Montgomery - Clinton Advances:
Reinforced in late September, Clinton began preparations to move north in response to urgent calls for action by Burgoyne. Embarking around 3,000 men, he sailed from New York on October 3. Advancing north, Clinton conducted a series of feints at Tarrytown and Verplanck's Point in an effort to hold Putnam on the east bank of the river. Convinced that the British were moving against Peekskill, he called for reinforcements from across the river. As he conducted these maneuvers he received a dispatch from Burgoyne asking whether he should advance or retreat and when Clinton would reach Albany. Early on the morning of October 6, Clinton began landing his men at Stony Point on the river's western shore. Moving over a rise known as the Timp, the British column descended into the hamlet of Doodletown where they drove off an American scouting party (Map).
Battle of Forts Clinton & Montgomery - The British Attack:
Desiring to attack the two forts simultaneously, Clinton directed Lieutenant Colonel Mungo Campbell to take 900 men on a march around Bear Mountain with the goal of reaching the rear of Fort Montgomery. Pausing to allow time for Campbell's men to cover the distance, Clinton then advanced on Fort Clinton with the remainder of his command. Having been made aware of the initial skirmish at Doodletown, Governor Clinton requested reinforcements from Putnam and dispatched around 100 men from Fort Montgomery to slow the British advance. His brother sent a similar force out from Fort Clinton. The force from Fort Montgomery established a blocking position approximately a mile from the fort and soon was attacked by Campbell. Though mounting a stout defense, the Americans were forced back on two occasions before withdrawing to the fort.
Battle of Forts Clinton & Montgomery - Fort Montgomery Falls:
Reaching Fort Montgomery early that evening, Campbell called for the garrison to surrender. This was refused by Lieutenant Colonel William S. Livingston who in turn cheekily asked Campbell to surrender instead. Angered, Campbell directed his men to begin assaulting the fort with British troops on his right, Hessian chasseurs in the center, and Loyalist forces on the left. Campbell's first attempts were met with heavy resistance and British casualties began to mount. As the fighting raged, Campbell was killed. Surging forward, the British were able to overwhelm the defenders. Flooding into the fort, they took few prisoners as they sought retribution for the death of their commander. With defeat imminent, Clinton and part of the garrison were able to escape through the woods north of the fort.
Battle of Fort Clinton & Montgomery - Loss of Fort Clinton:
Advancing from Doodletown, Clinton approached Fort Clinton from the south. As the direct approach to the fort was over a narrow spit of land between the river and a small lake, he ordered the 63rd Regiment of Foot to move northwest and circle around to the fort's rear. As the regiment did so, Clinton pushed two regiments across the spit toward the fort. Struggling through abatis and under fire from the fort's guns, these men soon commenced their assault with assistance of naval gunfire from British ships in the river. With the approach of the 63rd from the northwest, the garrison came under attack from two sides. Though they mounted a spirited defense, the men of Fort Clinton were unable to hold the British back. While part of the garrison was captured, the remainder, including the elder Clinton, was able to escape.
Battle of Forts Clinton & Montgomery - Aftermath:
In the Battle of Forts Clinton & Montgomery, British forces sustained 41 killed and 142 wounded, while the Americans incurred 75 killed and wounded as well as 263 captured. The day after the victory, Clinton responded to Burgoyne's earlier note and stated that he had conducted the requested diversion and had no intention of advancing as far as Albany. While the Royal Navy worked to remove obstacles from the river, Clinton returned to New York City leaving Major General James Vaughan in command with orders to raid up the Hudson Valley. On October 17, Howe requested that Clinton send 3,000 men south to support the occupation of Philadelphia. Short on men, he recalled Vaughan, who had raided as far north as Kingston. Withdrawing south, the British destroyed the two forts on October 26 before returning to New York.
Left alone in the wilderness, Burgoyne surrendered his army on October 17. The turning point of the conflict, the victory at Saratoga led to the 1778 Treaty of Alliance with France.

"Erie, PA is a manufacturing hub, and will remain as a manufacturing hub and supply chain of engineering."
Those are the words of GE Transportation CEO Lorenzo Simonelli last May, when he announced that the company will be moving its headquarters to Chicago.
Now, not even a year later, the company has decided to eliminate over 900 positions right
here in Erie. Most of the work will be moved to Fort Worth, Texas.
So how did the company get to this point?
"That's a hard question to answer," said Penn State Behrend Economics Professor Dr. James Kurre. "The world is getting increasingly competitive."
According to Dr. Kurre, the move will have a massive impact on the local economy.
"GE has a lot of local suppliers and to the extent that they cut the demands for their local suppliers, they can cut sales to their local suppliers, and those other companies can get hit too," said Dr. Kurre. "So we could see a ripple effect."
According to the company, the amount of cuts will be based on the labor negotiations with the union.
"Labor is certainly going to be a big component of their cost," said Dr. Kurre. "So it's not surprising they're looking to do production of locomotives in places where they can cut their labor cost."
While it will take several months to find out the true impact this will have on the Erie community, Erie County Council members have concerns.
"It's devastating to this county in many ways," said Erie County Councilman Fiore Leone. "Obviously, we're going to lose 900 employees and I don't know where they're going to go to work. It's becoming more and more of a problem here in Erie County."
Council Chairman Joe Giles agrees.
"They've (GE) been very good stewards historically within the community," said Giles. "We hope that they keep that in mind, their roots that are here, and their commitment as we move forward."
According to Dr. Kurre, it's not all doom and gloom.
"Some good pieces of news that could come out of this, is that other local employers are now going to have a pool of skilled workers coming out of GE, that they can draw on," said Dr. Kurre. "While this won't be good for the workers, it may help some Erie firms with their growth prospects."
But whether that's the case, only time will tell.

We get involved in our own discussions and sometimes miss that others need our help. In about eight or nine hours, Pastor Yousef Nadarkhania, a convert to Christianity from the Muslim faith is scheduled for execution for apostasy. The story follows below (Google has more). Meanwhile, you can encourage Pres. Obama to intervene here, or encourage Secretary of State Hillary Clinton to intervene at 202-647-4000. Christians are persecuted around the world all the time, a fact that the Russian Orthodox Church, to their credit, is confronting internationally.

Abp Chaput: New York Times, CNN, MSNBC Can't be Trusted on Abortion, Faith
These are words some self-styled Orthodox commentators on Church and society would do well to heed. From the article: "In the United States, our battles over abortion, family life, same-sex marriage, and other sensitive issues have led to ferocious public smears and legal threats not only of Catholics, but also against Mormons, evangelicals, and other religious believers," he said. "And with relatively few exceptions, the mass media tend to cover these disputed issues with a combination of ignorance, laziness, and bias against traditional Christian belief." The archbishop said that Christians "make a very serious mistake" if they turned to outlets like the New York Times, Newsweek, CNN and MSNBC, "for reliable news about religion." "These news media simply don't provide trustworthy information about religious faith," he said. "These are secular operations focused on making a profit … They have very little sympathy for the Catholic faith, and quite a lot of aggressive … [Read more...]
Fr. Hans Jacobse: Liberty
I love my country and several years back I wrote an essay expressing my gratitude to her. It describes immigrating to America when I was a young boy. "Wake up," my father whispered. "We're almost there." It was a cold March morning. I was six years old. My family was sailing from The Hague, bound for New York,a single Dutch family aboard a ship crowded with Hungarians in exodus from their abortive revolution. The voyage had been thrilling, at least to the wide eyes of a six-year-old. My parents, my two sisters, my brother, and I had spent the trip in a cabin the size of a small bedroom, but I had enjoyed virtual free run of the ship and its seemingly endless maze of hallways. We roamed for hours at a time, peering behind each open door. Occasionally, a Hungarian family would invite us into their cabin. There we would sit, not understanding a word that was spoken, but basking in the warmth of welcoming smiles. One night, during a storm, the steamer's engine failed. … [Read more...]
Abp. Chaput: America Becoming 'Much Less Friendly' to Religious Freedom
Although written for a Catholic audience, the ideas expressed by Archbishop Chaput apply to Christians across the board. Take special care reading the section "A Less Friendly America" where Abp. Chaput warns us the coming hostility towards religion and how anti-religionists will use the power of the state to diminish the cultural influence of Christianity. Source: National Catholic Register Renewing the Mission of Catholic Charities Archbishop Chaput on Catholic identity and the future of the Church's social ministry. The following is Archbishop Chaput's June 21 address to the Catholic Social Workers Association. We're here today — or anyway, we should be here today — because we believe in Jesus Christ.

Patriarchate of Moscow Launches Program for Protection of Christians Worldwide
Source: Asia News Read Met. Hilarion's Address to the European Religious leaders on OrthodoxyToday.org. Moscow (AsiaNews) - Concerned by a widespread "Christianophobia", the Russian Orthodox Church has decided to publish regular information on episodes of violence that affect Christians in the world. Interfax news agency reports that the World Russian People's Council is a public forum that brings together several religious and political leaders in Russia and is chaired by the Patriarch of Moscow and All Russia Kirill. "The Russian Orthodox Church will launch a program to protect the Christians who have recently become the most targeted religious," says Roman Silantyev, director of the Center. The idea is to monitor the crimes and atrocities committed against Christians, such as murders, threats, rapes, massacres and executions. The greatest concern focuses on the Middle East, as explained by Metropolitan Hilarion of Volokolamsk, head of the Department for External … [Read more...]
Met. Hilarion: The Problem of Religious Intolerance. What Can We Do Together?
Source: Department for External Church Relations of the Russian Orthodox Church Highlight: At present we are experiencing a new era of persecution against Christians, which some compare to the time of the Roman emperors of the first three centuries. People in problem-free countries know nothing or do not want to know anything about it. Only a handful of public and human rights organizations are trying to draw public attention to this disastrous situation. Paper by Metropolitan Hilarion of Volokolamsk, Chairman of the Moscow Patriarchate Department for External Church Relations, at the International Conference on Christian-Jewish-Muslim Inter-confessional Dialogue (Budapest, 2 June 2011) Distinguished Participants in the Conference, Allow me to present to you my remarks concerning problems of the free confession of faith in the world and in some of its parts and on religious cooperation in this area.

Christophobia in the Muslim World
Source: Boston.com Last weekend's scenes of anti-Christian mob violence in Cairo, against a background of churches in flames, is a powerful reminder of a grim reality: Non-Muslim communities have become endangered species throughout much of the Islamic world. Some statesmen have begun to acknowledge the existential crisis facing non-Muslims. Former Lebanese Prime Minister Amine Gemayel warned earlier this year that Islamic extremists are waging a war of "genocide,'' while French President Nicolas Sarkozy now refers to the region's Christians as the victims of "a perverse program of . . . religious cleansing.'' The most sensational acts of anti-Christian terror command headlines — for a moment. Such was the case when 41 worshippers at Baghdad's Our Lady of Salvation Catholic Church were held hostage and then massacred by Islamic extremists last October, and 23 Egyptian Christians in Alexandria were killed by a bomb blast as they left mass early this year. Pakistan's only … [Read more...]
Orthodox Churches Object to National Identity Cards
First of all, let's dispense with the pejoratives: Conservative and nationalist wings within the churches have held demonstrations in Athens and Moscow and claim that the cards will compromise national and religious identity. Many have gone so far as to say that identity numbers such as 666 are the "mark of the beast" from the Book of Revelation, the final book of the New Testament. Archimandrite Iannuarii Ivliev, a professor of biblical studies at the St. Petersburg Theological Academy told the May edition of Neskuchny Sad, a Russian Orthodox magazine, that the obsession with symbols such as 666 are the result of a primitive interpretation of the Book of Revelation. All that might be true, but it is beside the point. Let's examine instead the salient point: Patriarch Kirill II of the Russian Orthodox Church told a meeting of the Bishop's Council of the Russian Orthodox in February that "the church understands the position of people who do not wish to be subject to control … [Read more...]
Fr. George Calciu: First Century Christian in the Twentieth Century
Wesley J. Smith is a frequent commentator on the AOI Observer. Source: First Things | Wesley J. Smith Blessed are those who are persecuted for righteousness' sake, for theirs is the kingdom of heaven. I had no idea. To be more precise, before I converted to Eastern Orthodoxy, I knew that the Orthodox Church had been harshly suppressed by the communists, but I had no idea that the cruelty of persecution often equaled that inflicted on the early church. Father George Calciu (1925–2006) was one such sufferer for Christ. A Romanian by birth, an Orthodox Christian by upbringing, and a priest by vocation, Calciu spent a total of twenty-one brutal years in prison—tortured and subjected to brainwashing—for his outspoken evangelism and criticism of communist materialism. Fr. George's remarkable story of faith and courage is vividly told in the exemplary book, Father George Calciu: Interviews, Homilies, and Talks. The book is primarily a first … [Read more...]
75 out of every 100 Victims of Religious Intolerance are Christian
Out of every 100 victims of religious intolerance in the world, 75 are Christians. After the terrorist attack on 20 January 2011 in Alexandria, the European Parliament adopted a resolution acknowledging the fact of violation of the rights of Christians. Metropolitan Hilarion of Volokolamsk, in his interview to Izvestiya daily (Issue 50 (28311), 24 March 2011), speaks of the persecution of Christians today. What is your opinion of the European Parliament's resolution on the violation of the rights of Christians? How and why at all did it appear? The European Parliament has adopted the Resolution on the Situation of Christians in the Context of Freedom of Religion, and the EU Committee of Foreign Ministers in its statement on February 22 expressed concern for 'the increasing number of acts of religious intolerance and discrimination, as epitomised by recent violence and acts of terrorism, in various countries, against Christians'.

Vatican: Human Sexuality … Is Not an "Identity"
More arguments for my thesis that "Sexual Orientation" is not an ontological category. GENEVA, MARCH 24, 2011 (Zenit.org).- Here is the address Archbishop Silvano M. Tomasi, permanent representative of the Holy See to the United Nations and Other International Organizations in Geneva, delivered Tuesday at the 16th Session of the Human Rights Council on "sexual orientation." Mr. President, The Holy See takes this opportunity to affirm the inherent dignity and worth of all human beings, and to condemn all violence that is targeted against people because of their sexual feelings and thoughts, or sexual behaviors. We would also like to make several observations about the debates regarding "sexual orientation." First, there has been some unnecessary confusion about the meaning of the term "sexual orientation," as found in resolutions and other texts adopted within the UN human rights system.

Egypt's Copts Suffer More Attacks
The Corner | Nina Shea Copts in Egypt are begging for Egyptian Armed Forces protection today after a Muslim mob of several thousand attacked their church in the village of Soul, about 30 kilometers from Cairo, last night. The Church of St. Mina and St. George was torched, and its clergy are unaccounted for. The fire department and security forces failed to respond to Coptic pleas for help during the arson attack. According to a report from the Washington-based Coptic American Friendship Association, the mob, chanting "Allahu Akbar," pulled down the church's cross and detonated a handful of gas cylinders inside the structure. The ensuing fire destroyed the church and all its contents, including the sacred relics of centuries-old saints. It is reported that a romantic relationship between a Christian man and a Muslim woman, which sharia forbids, and the refusal of the woman's father to kill her to restore the community's "honor," aroused the Muslim ire.

A national guardsman who wanted to serve the people of Madison County claims he was denied a job with the sheriff's department because of his service to the country.
And the patrolman who blew the whistle was fired from the Madison County Sheriff's Department.
Now, both men have filed a discrimination lawsuit against the department in U.S. District Court.
Rodney Thompson served his country twice in Desert Storm and Iraq.
Thompson has 22-years in the military and 10-years of law enforcement experience.
By all accounts, he was a shoo-in for a patrolman job with the Madison County Sheriff's Department, but he was overlooked.
His friend, patrolman Josh Hobbs, wanted to know why and did something, he claims in this lawsuit, cost him his job.
Hobbs secretly recorded this conversation with Eddie Belvedresi, in which the deputy chief admits that it's Rodney Thompson's military career standing in the way of a job with the Madison County Sheriff's Department.
"I mean, it really puts that shift in a bind, whichever one he's on, you know," Belvedresi said on the recording. "And like I told you, you know, I don't want him to know that because I appreciate what he does but."
Belvedresi even goes on to make this shocking statement:
"You know, I don't...I'm sure and I've got enough sense to realize that if he found that out and brought a suit against us, he'd probably win for not hiring him, you know?"
"So, it's really appalling not only that it was done against these individuals, but he knew it was against the law," said Nick Norris who represents Thompson and Hobbs.
Nick Norris, who filed the federal suit in behalf of Thompson and Hobbs, said Hobbs just wants his job back and Thompson just wants a job.
"They have brought this, not just seeking damages, but to make a point...that this is wrong," Norris said.
WLBT contacted Belvedresi for comment on the lawsuit.
Belvedresi said he heard about it, but hasn't seen it.
The deputy chief said, "we fired that employee," referring to Josh Hobbs
WLBT asked if Hobbs was a good employee.
"Wouldn't have fired him...that's all I want to say," Belvedresi replied.

Here's a little-known secret: You're not just born with great skin. Having a flawless complexion has more to do with how you treat your skin than having good genes. So why don't more of us have glowing complexions? It's simple: We believe skincare myths that prevent us from really getting the gorgeous skin we want. Well, not anymore. With the help of dermatologists Katie Rodan, MD, and Kathy Fields, MD, creators of Proactiv Solution and the Rodan + Fields skincare lines, we've busted the top 10 things women incorrectly believe about their skin. Read on for the real scoop on your skin:Myth #1: Your skin will age just like your mom's.
The reality: Sure, genetics play a role in how your skin looks, from the size of your pores to its texture and color. But banking on aging like your mom or grandmother is a big mistake. "Habits make more of a difference than genetics," explains Dr. Rodan. "The biggest culprit in aging is sun exposure, and your drinking, smoking, stress, and sleep habits play a role, too." Skipping sunscreen, imbibing too often, coping ineffectively with stress, and sleeping on your side or stomach can all exacerbate and create wrinkles, adult acne, and texture changes.Myth #2: The SPF number tells you how much protection you're getting from the sun.
The reality: There are two types of damaging sun rays: UVA, which are responsible for aging the skin; and UVB, which are responsible for burning it. The SPF number on a bottle of sunscreen only gives a guide for how much UVB protection the product offers. It doesn't tell you whether or not the product protects from UVA rays (which are also responsible for melanoma). All sunscreens protect from UVB rays, explain Drs. Rodan and Fields. To fully protect yourself, however, look for a product that contains UVA-blocking ingredients, too, such as zinc or avobenzone (Parsol 1789), and reapply often.Myth #3: You need a separate sunscreen and moisturizer.
The reality: "Sunscreens already add moisture to your skin because of their ingredients," says Dr. Fields. So if you have oily skin, you may want to skip the separate moisturizer. For those who prefer to wear both products, apply the moisturizer first; allow to dry, then apply the sunscreen. Either way, be sure to wear sunscreen daily: "Every day is sun day," says Dr. Fields, even if it's cloudy or overcast.Myth #4: Most of the sun damage you incur happens before age 18.
The reality: "Recent studies have shown that by age 18, you've only accumulated 18 to 23 percent of the sun damage you'll incur over a lifetime," says Dr. Rodan. That means that there's still time to protect your skin from the sun and put off sun-induced aging. Do this by using sunscreen and products with sun-damage reversing ingredients such as vitamin C and retinol.Myth #5: Cosmetic creams can turn back time for your skin.
The reality: There's no such thing as a miracle in a bottle. "As you age, your facial bones shrink, you lose fat under the skin, and your skin begins to become loose," says Dr. Fields. "Rubbing on a cream isn't going to address these things." What's more, cosmetic skincare products cannot, by FDA law, include medications, which are the only things that truly change the structure of the skin. What cosmetic creams can do: Temporarily plump up and hydrate your skin. For the best chance at turning back time, see your dermatologist for medications or procedures.
The reality: Just because you react to a good ingredient in one formulation doesn't mean you'll have the same response to another formulation. Effective cosmetic skincare ingredients like AHAs, salicylic acid, and retinol can be irritating. If you try a product containing one of these ingredients, start slowly to allow your skin time to adjust. If, after two weeks, you still notice irritation, try another product containing the ingredient. You may find that a different mix will agree with your skin.Myth #7: All women over 35 need foundation.
The reality: "Foundation ages women!" says Dr. Rodan. It settles into fine lines and large pores, and can give a mask-like finish unless the shade is perfectly matched to your skin. The doctors' advice (which they themselves follow): Skip foundation, and concentrate on getting your skin in fabulous shape so you won't need it.Myth #8: The bumps you get on your adult skin aren't acne.
The reality: They might not be the same pimples you had when you were a teenager, but they're still acne. Thank the natural decrease in estrogens/increase in androgens we experience as we age, plus our increasingly stressful lifestyles, for this common condition. To stave off adult acne, you need a consistent, full-face regimen containing gentle but effective acne fighters like salicylic acid, benzoyl peroxide, and sulfur.Myth #9: Spot-treatments are your best bets for pimples.
The reality: A pimple can take weeks to form under the skin, so while you're treating the one that's currently visible with a spot treatment, you're neglecting the ones that will pop up in the future. Drs. Rodan and Fields swear by a preventative, full-face regimen to stop pimples before they even begin to form.Myth #10: Stick only with products that worked for you in the past.
The reality: Our bodies change as we age -- so why shouldn't our skin? Sticking to the same old products as your skin changes doesn't make sense. The products cease to be effective if your skin needs shift and you could also be missing out on new technologies and ingredients that will better suit your current needs. Don't be afraid to experiment!

City exceeds minority contracting goal
- Written by Tribune Staff Report
- Published in News Headlines
For the second year in a row, the city topped its minority participation goal, with 28 percent of city contracts going to minority-, women-, disabled- and disadvantaged-businesses. Of that total, a growing percentage went to Black-owned businesses.
According to a report released Wednesday by the Office of Economic Opportunity, the overall minority participation rate for city contracts was 28 percent – three points above the goal of 25 percent. In terms of dollars, that represented city spending of $160.9 million.
African-American firms captured 52 percent of that for a total of $83 million. That was up from 44 percent in fiscal 2011.
"OEO's leadership and the city's proactive support of 'Inclusion Works' have resulted in real economic impact," said Mayor Michael Nutter, referring to the city's blueprint to increase minority participation. "OEO staff and officers in city departments have raised the bar for M/W/DSBE engagement."
The fiscal 2012 report covers the city's fiscal year, which ran from July 1, 2011 to June 30, 2012.
In a demographic breakdown, the OEO reported that white women captured 27 percent, or $44 million in contracts. That was down from 33 percent last year. Hispanic businesses got $19 million in city business for 12 percent of the total, up from 9 percent last year. Finally, Asian-owned businesses got 8 percent of city contracts for $13 million, down from 12 percent last year.
In addition to capturing a greater share of city contracts and more money, the OEO report found that the number of minority companies doing business with the city rose by 7 percent. And, that business was spread across city departments, with 31 percent more of those contracts coming from individual operating departments, as opposed to city contracts.
Data that included a broader snapshot of city-related contracting showed that when quasi-city agencies were included, participation was even higher, at 29 percent.
That means minority-owned businesses got contracts worth $103.6 million when agencies like the Philadelphia Industrial Development Corp. and Redevelopment Authority are included in the data. Total spending for city and quasi-public agencies totaled $264.5 million out of $1.1 billion. That compared to $227.7 million awarded out of a possible $892.7 million in FY11.
When federal projects were included minority businesses were awarded $15.2 million in contracts through federally funded projects in fiscal 2012, up from $9.2 million in 2011.
In addition to the traditional data included in the report, this year's summary included a section called "On the Horizon" detailing new city policies and practices relating to minority contracting.
"This annual report is an in depth analysis of contracts awarded and participation results, strategic alliances built, stakeholder commentary and a path forward that will institutionalize effective and sustainable economic inclusion," said Angela Dowd-Burton, Executive Director of the Office of Economic Opportunity. "This document is a resource tool for any business considering the city as a prospective client or looking to increase their competitive advantage."

Baseball participates in Trinity Rescue Mission
The JU Student-Athlete Advisory Committee (SAAC) has established a reputation as a strong supporter of the local community and this year is no different as all 35 members of the JU baseball team served as volunteers for the Trinity Rescue Mission on Oct. 23.
Located in downtown Jacksonville, Trinity Rescue Mission works to take the homeless from the street and restore them into active, self-sufficient roles in the community. The team split up into two groups and was responsible for dishing out meals onto plates, delivering the meals to residents and cleaning up the kitchen. At 4:30 p.m. the first group served the women of Trinity Rescue Mission and a second group served the men at 6:30 p.m.
"Preparing and serving at the Trinity Rescue Mission was something that the coaches and players were glad to do," said sophomore catcher and SAAC representative Alex Swenson. "These opportunities to give back to the community help put in perspective how blessed we really are and not to take anything for granted."
Earlier this year, the team also participated in Daniel Memorial's Rock N' Ride helping with parking, registration, serving lunch and the event raffle. Originally launched in 2002 as the Bike to School Motorcycle Ride, this annual Daniel fundraiser has become one of the most anticipated events of Northeast Florida motorcycle enthusiasts.
"The purpose of this is to positively impact the community in which we live," said JU head coach Terry Alexander. "It serves as a great reminder to our student-athletes that they are incredibly blessed to not only have shelter over there heads and food on their tables each night, but also to have the opportunity to attend college and play baseball at the highest level of collegiate athletics. We believe it is vital to the players' development as young men to realize there is more to life and baseball then just what takes place on the field."

The Texas Rangers have 3 in the top 50 and I think you can make a strong case for two or three more (Smoak, Main etc) due to the stock falling on some of the other players on this list, but like any rankings system it is subjective.

Indianas graduation rate doesnt add up
By Jay P. Greene and Greg Forster
What would you say if the president told you that your tax rate was only 1 percent? Or if your local sheriff went around bragging that your neighborhood is patrolled by 100,000 police officers? You might not know exactly what tax rate you pay or precisely how many police officers patrol your street, but you would know for sure that those numbers were pretty farfetched.

Today's weather forecast: Dreamy
It's a wonder there's room on the package to list every accolade collected by this film (Sony Pictures Classics, $20), easily the most universally acclaimed movie of 2011. What could have been a familiar domestic drama about the collapse of a marriage and the ripple effect among everyone surrounding the estranged couple, this winner of the best foreign film Oscar is made wholly immediate and unforgettable by its Iranian context and the passion and integrity of its filmmakers.
A Separation is available today.

By PEDRO VELAZCO
---- — There's plenty of promise around Howard County as big groups return to co-Mid-Indiana Conference boys soccer champions Northwestern and Western, the county pace-setters. Those squads expect to post strong seasons again this year thanks to light graduation losses and plenty of talent.
Elsewhere in the county, Eastern and Taylor took huge strides last season but follow up with young squads, and Kokomo hopes a major influx of talent produces a rebound season.
Below are capsules on the five county squads, in order of record last season.
The Class A Tipton Sectional champion Purple Tigers expect to go from strength to strength after returning 23 players from a 15-3 squad that also shared MIC honors with Western. Northwestern lost five senior starters, but returns much more.
"It's helpful because we don't have to start at such a basic level," NW coach Jim Wagner said of the team's experience. "We've been focusing mainly the last two weeks on improving their creativity on the offensive end. We'll have a couple seniors leading the defense that have been doing a good job getting the younger guys up to speed and filling the gaps that we had in the back."
Three of the five graduation losses were in the defensive unit, including the goalie, leaving a lot of returning players in midfield and attack.
"I think we'll be good at scoring," Wagner said. "The question mark is on the defensive end, how strong our defense is going to be? We had a really strong defense last year, a lot of shutouts, a lot of one-goal games. If we can do that again this year, we're really going to be in good shape."
The current senior class features flashpaper forward Robert Olsen, who led the team in goals (17) and assists (10) last year. He can also move back to midfield. His classmates include midfielder/defender Haden Hall, center back Benny Hernandez, midfielder Garrett Hite, and Graham Ortmann, who is contesting for the goalie spot and will play defense if not in goal.
The junior class includes left back Michael Thibault, midfielder and sometime forward Jacob Wagner (13 goals), forward and sometime midfielder Blaine Brutus (13 goals, six assists), midfielder Spencer Lubben, and midfielder Parker Fessenden.
Midfielder Daniel Hernandez, defender Mark Todd and Grant Condon, who is contesting for the goalie spot, are key sophomores.
"We've got an odd schedule where we'll play a lot of MIC road games [five, with two at home]," Jim Wagner said. "It's going to make it a lot tougher but I think we've got the experience. The guys are a lot bigger. I would expect to be at about [last year's] level. Obviously I'd think our goals are to win the MIC and sectional again."
The Panthers lost only three seniors from an 11-4-1 team so the team should be very similar to last season, only with a greater sense of urgency. Western shared the MIC title with Northwestern last season but fell in the first round of play in the Class 2A Kokomo Sectional.
"We have a very solid group back and very motivated," coach Mike Roe said. "I think they'll be a very good defensive team. As far as possession goes, I'm a fan of possession so I coach it a lot. I feel like we'll be solid there, but maybe not as good as before. This team's personality is a little more goal-hungry than some of our teams in the past. They're pretty relentless in the attacking phase. I think you can look to see us maybe a little more high-scoring than we have been the last couple years."
A large senior group returns including: goalie Edgar Sanchez (1.2 goals against average last season); defenders Zac Simpson, Nick Downing, Nic Bewley and Cody Cox; midfielder/defender Chris Carter; midfielder Chris Root (six goals); and playmaking central midfielder Jordan Roe (13 goals, 11 assists).
Also key to the team are junior midfielder/forward Conner Hill, sophomore defender/midfielder Braden Crowell, sophomore defender/forward Micah Bickford, sophomore forward/midfielder Mason May (eight goals, five assists); and sophomore midfielder Reggie Manuel.
The Panthers have a couple areas they need to improve as they set their eyes on conference glory and a shot at redemption in the sectional.
"Our bench has got to get a lot better," Mike Roe said. "We need some big minutes from the bench and that's going to take some big improvement. We've definitely taken some big steps — they're learning by leaps and bounds. We've got to keep positive communication and communication with a purpose. That's one of our biggest goals is making sure we're directing each other and thinking a step ahead."
The Comets have a small core of upperclassmen to mix in with an otherwise young group as they follow up an 11-5 season that saw them win seven more games than the previous year.
"I've got an interesting team this year," Eastern coach John VanMatre said. "I call it 'down my spine:' I've got four seniors on the field — my goalie, central defender ... midfielder and center forward. Then we've got a lot of young guys, got a lot of freshmen and sophomores up there.
"I really do have a lot of talent this year. My only real concern is our size and experience at this level. One of the things that's hard to replicate in practice is the speed of play that you're going to need when it gets competitive."
The senior group includes center forward Jordan VanMatre, who missed all last season with a torn ACL after scoring 14 goals as a sophomore, middle defender Josh Sommers, goalie Delon Tuggle and left midfielder Darren Bellow.
Others expected to play big roles are junior central defender Trent Stiner, sophomore right forward Dillon Ryan (he leads returnees with six goals and 10 assists), sophomore right midfielder Dalton Ryan, sophomore left midfielder/forward Nate Everett, and four freshmen who will see plenty of time: central midfielder/defensive midfielder Lucas VanMatre; defender Austin Campbell; left forward Cole Walker; and forward/midfielder Ben Cole.
John VanMatre thinks the squad will have a strong bench to bolster a starting 11 that is more skilled than previously.
"I hope to be good at possessing the ball and I really hope to be good at — this is one of my hallmarks as a coach — finding that perfect balance between being able to possess the ball but also having that sense of urgency to get the ball forward and score when the opportunities present themselves," he said." Almost one through 11 I've got some really good ball skills. It's nice to have that and not have holes that you're worried about."
The Titans tripled their win total from their previous campaign by going 9-10 last season. Ten players return from that squad, but the bulk of the team is lowerclassmen as 14 of the 17 Titans are sophomores or freshmen.
"We're extremely young," Taylor coach Mike Shane said with a laugh.
Shane said the team's biggest challenge is having "patience. That's a big one, getting them to play the way you want them to play. They haven't been around the system. The nice thing is they are young, they are moldable. They're a very eager group, very into the sport, they constantly want to play, they constantly want to improve."
Eight seniors, including six starters, graduated from last season's squad, meaning plenty of opportunities for the younger Titans — especially a big sophomore class.
Sophomores include defender/midfielder Kyle Orzech, defender/midfielder Joey Townsend, midfielder/forward Robbie Tebbe (the leading returning attacker with three goals and three assists), midfielder/defender Zach Bentley, forward Allen Bottomley, and midfielder/forward Jeremiah Rhoades.
Junior goalie/forward Kyle Roe is going to be counted on for leadership as the most experienced Titan.
Freshman all-arounder Hunter Stephens, freshman defender/midfielder Cole Braun and freshman midfielder/forward Caleb Murdock will also mix in.
Taylor lost three of its four starting defenders and a goalie so the rest of the team will need to help out on defense.
"A lot of it is getting experience more than anything," Shane said. "They can play all the travel programs they want but it's not the same as playing in high school. It's going to be a building year."
The Wildkats slumped to 2-14 last season after heavy graduation losses from the year before. Nine players return from last year, and a major injection of talent from newcomers means coach Kismet Morrison expects a "huge improvement" even if the real breakthrough might be another season ahead.
"What I can say is we definitely are a whole lot stronger than we were last year," Morrison said. "This should be a reasonable season for us."
Newcomers run from freshmen to seniors who are new to the program but not new to the game.
"This team definitely has skill on its side," Morrison said. "Most of the guys that are coming in this year have played soccer for a good few years. The skill level, the technical level is there. What they lack is the experience and physical aspect of the game that a varsity team demands. We just have to be patient as they develop."
Some experienced players who form the backbone of the team are junior midfielder Philip Heilman, senior defender/midfielder Ben Huff, senior midfielder Aaron Dea, senior defender Christian Hall and senior defender Zach Sasser. Junior defender Robbie Lambert is new to the team but has plenty of playing experience.
Three newcomers who show a lot of promise are all center forwards: sophomore Arland McIlrath; freshman Vinh Lee; and freshman Keagan James. McIlrath and Lee are involved in the Olympic Development Program.
Kokomo also looks for contributions from junior midfielder Dillon Graham, freshman goalie Caleb Cook, freshman defender Garreck Durato, senior midfielder Jordan Eley, sophomore all-arounder Jared Dill, junior defender Colan Ruch, sophomore forward Anish Madhusoodhanan, sophomore defender S.A. Dunn, sophomore midfielder Christian Rebollar, and junior defender Austin Doehrman.
"There's definitely soccer ability," Morrison said. "They may not set the soccer scene alight this year, but they will definitely be something to reckon with next year once they get experience under their belts."

More than ten trees decorated for an art show in Sarasota Sapphire Shores Park have lost their decor. The trees were wrapped in yarn for the the Sun Circle Art Show. The yarn wrapping from seven trees went missing Saturday.
"A wild, crazy decorated tree makes you smile; this doesn't. Our park is very active and folks are missing them," Jane Nutter Johnson, the art show chair, said about the wrapped trees.
She said a few old and young helpers joined the decorating process Saturday last week.
They discovered the yarn was missing early Sunday morning.
Johnson said, they will do more "yarn bombing" of the trees for the art show that is scheduled for March 3nd. The show will present fine art and craftwork by local artists, live performances, a bonsai exhibit and a silent auction.

Here's a press release about the 5th annual banquet, auction and fundraiser to help save Riverside's Chinatown:
A magnificent, embroidered and quilted jacket, given to a Los Angeles City Councilwoman in July 1984 when the two pandas, Ying Xin and Yun Yun, were loaned to the Los Angeles Zoo from the Beijing Zoo, is just one of the treasures that will be part of the live auction at the Save Our Chinatown Committee's Chinese New Year banquet.
"Our cause attracts generous donors who part with treasured items to support the effort to preserve the site of the Riverside Chinatown," said banquet organizer Margie Akin. "We have received everything from a rayon scarf that was distributed at the 1939 opening of 'The Wizard of Oz' at the Riverside Fox theater, to delicate porcelain teacups that were presented to San Bernardino City Councilwoman Norine Miller by the leaders of San Bernardino's Japanese sister city Tachikawa, to rare books and even antique Chinese silver jewelry. But you have to attend the banquet to bid in the auction."
This will be the 5th year that the Save Our Chinatown Committee (SOCC) will welcome the Chinese New Year with a traditional banquet. The auction has become an increasingly bigger part of the evening of festivities as more and more people want to donate very high quality items to support the work of the committee. Because many people who want to save the archaeological site of Riverside's Chinatown have an interest in local history, many items are of interest to history buffs and preservationists. Other items come from as far away as Mainland China and Taiwan, where the events in Riverside are watched with growing interest.
The banquet will begin at 6 p.m. on Saturday, February 2, at the Lotus Garden Restaurant, 111 East Hospitality Lane, San Bernardino. A ten course dinner will be accompanied by cultural performances, followed by a live auction, and finish with the distribution of red envelopes each containing a genuine Chinese coin that is more than 100 years old to everyone in attendance. Tickets for the entire evening are $60 each, or $100 for a couple.
Funds raised will be used to support the SOCC's efforts to protect the Riverside Chinatown archaeological site and establish a memorial park to honor Riverside's Chinese pioneers.
The deadline for ordering tickets is Monday, January 28th, with no tickets available at the door Anyone interested in purchasing tickets can do so by visiting the web site at www.saveourchinatown.org. For more information, or information on ordering tickets, call Margie Akin at (951) 787-0318 or (951) 675-8312.

By now you've heard about
the earthquake that hit
the east coast today, right?
We definitely felt it
here in Maryland
and this is the only
damage we had.
It's one of my favorite
photos of my dad doing what he
loved; the color guard
with the American Legion Unit
he belonged to.
What's actually funny about this
is for the first time
since he died eight years ago
I forgot
the anniversary of his death,
which was two days ago.
Do you think he was trying
to tell me something!!??
Subtle, Dad, real subtle!

A new clue to whether a mother-to-be is carrying a boy or a girl -- it's how much she eats, not how much weight she gains, but how many calories she takes in every day.
Harvard researchers tracked the diets of 244 expectant moms and found those carrying boys ate an average of 200 more calories a day than those who were carrying girls. The researchers aren't sure how to explain the difference, but it was consistent.
The pregnant women carrying boys ate 10% more than those carrying girls. And they suspect the mom's extra appetite may be sparked by testosterone secreted from the baby boy.

With the owners manual there should be tests that you could run and get information like fault codes from the processor.
I will look and see if I can find a manual on line that I can read in the meantime.
Manual link. http://www.cumminson...s/981-0159D.pdf
Check section #4 trouble shooting, reading fault codes.
Oil pressure was mentioned and heat could be an issue that would shut down the unit.
There are others issues like the line voltage and frequency that cause a microprocessor to shut down the unit to protect your 110 volt equipment.
Also check the Ground cable between the generator and the Chassis.
I also see you had a battery issue, with one exploding . Not good !!! Wash things down with water and then mix up some baking soda and water,about 1 tablespoon to 8 to 10 oz. of water is a good mix.
Use ti ti wash down the area may need more then one glass of the mix.
Make SURE the battery caps are on, it can be a little like a volcano if the two mix in large quantities !!
Did the battery fail after the generator issue? ( after it shut down,, after running for 5 min. or so ??)
- 0
Posted 31 May 2012 - 08:37 PM
I have changed the oil and it is full.
Battery issue (blowing up) happened after the problems with the genny and don't think it is related as the genny had not been run for over a week when it happened..
It never starts easy either hot or cold.

You mentioned smelling fuel ,installed a new carb. and the unit starts hard. Will run for 5 plus min. then shuts down. Got to have spark, because it runs well after it starts.
The hard starting sounds like a fuel problem and you have replaced the carburetor. That leaves the fuel delivery system. Fuel line and pump.
When you start the unit from outside using the switch under the access panel, do you see the LED light they mention in the manual? It should blink.
My old Onan Generator had a mechanical governor link to control the engine speed,this was prior to the computer systems on the newer units.
I need to find some more information about the engine, as it should have a fuel pump and fuel filter in the line somewhere. Also wondering if you may have a bad fuel line,that has a small pin hole(s) that is allowing air into the fuel supply line. This would starve the unit for fuel under load.
It wants to run, we are just missing a piece of the puzzle.
Think I found the manual for your model generator. Try this link.
It mentions fuel pump and electrical troubleshooting info. on page 11.

Model is 4KYFA26100E and S/N is F963541420
Next time I am out at the ranch I will bypass the fuel filter and run directly to the carb to at least eliminate one question. Note that I did replace the spark plug and have verified it is getting spark. Also, it is a mechanical control or governer link...definitely not electrically controlled.
