All i can find is https://www.facebook.com/pages/Hood-River-Soccer-League/593693263974791?fref=ts and https://www.facebook.com/ColumbiaGorgeIndoorSoccer?fref=ts I thought Oregon was a soccer state and with Reasonable populated towns like Hood river and the Dalles there would be a more vibrant league. The first link seems to be mostly from the Latino community and seems to only be starting up, maybe more teams will join. The second link is ok but i like the idea of playing outdoors when possible (I understand in the hot summer days or cold winter days indoor would be a great)
Also, Ill be moving to Oregon in two months, looking for timbers fans in the Hood river/ the dalles area who travel to games to carpool and meet up to watch away games with.

Fracking health study results likely years off
FILE - In this June 20, 2012 file photo, protesters rally against the oil and gas drilling method known as hydraulic fracturing, or "fracking," as the legislative session winds down at the Capitol in Albany, N.Y. The health study cited by leading environmentalist Robert F. Kennedy Jr. as a turning point in helping persuade Gov. Andrew Cuomo to scrap plans for a limited fracking pilot program is not expected to be the defining study on whether fracking is safe, according to researchers involved in the project and other independent experts.

LEXINGTON, Ky. (BP) -- Harley Cannon, being blind, doesn't read music.
But that doesn't stop him from playing a crazy clavichord or a mean trumpet.
"That Harley is a piece of work, a talented musician," said Mike Hoover, minister of music at North View Baptist Church in Lexington, Ky. "Not only does he play keyboards and trumpet, but he sings too."
Hoover and Cannon have been the worship-leading team at North View for nearly five years -- in a match made in digital heaven.
Hoover uses the Worship Project on LifeWayWorship.com to coordinate all the music for the church. LifeWayWorship.com is a set of resources designed to provide the tools worship leaders need to create a rich and full worship experience for their churches. LifeWay Worship is a department of LifeWay Christian Resources of the Southern Baptist Convention.
Hoover, unlike most ministers of music, is quick to admit that he, too, doesn't read music.
"No, not at all," he said with a chuckle. "I've depended on technology to help me do worship planning since the days of the 'Celebrate Jesus' book with split tracks!"
Being bivocational, Hoover doesn't have a lot of time for planning. He spends his mornings and afternoons driving a school bus route, working at the school bus garage in between.
Hoover and Cannon learned to use LifeWayWorship.com to quickly and seamlessly create an order of worship that both of them can follow.
Hoover prepares the order of worship on Monday and Tuesday nights.
"What I love about having access to the resources on the Worship Project," he said, "is that I can find out from the pastor what the Scripture passage for the week will be and then go online and find music that will coordinate with it.
"I can download the order of worship and music and put it in DropBox [a Web-based service where users can store and share files and folders with others across the Internet] for Harley to download," Hoover said. "Once he gets it, he translates the order of service into Braille and listens to the music two or three times and he's ready to play. It's so easy!"
Cannon said he usually listens to the music while he's exercising.
"I walk on the treadmill for about 45 minutes every day," he said. "Having the music to listen to helps. By the time we get together, we've heard the same music and we're ready to go."
Hoover said LifeWayWorship.com has revolutionized the musical worship for North View.
"It just makes so many things possible for us," he said. "I can find the music I want, download it for Harley and send it to him. I can download the song from the digital hymnal portion of the Worship Project so my choir can listen to it. I can get printouts of the music for the choir. It works!"
Cannon agreed that the resource makes things simple, adding, "You don't have to be blind to appreciate the convenience of it. It'd work for anybody."
One Wednesday night, for example, Hoover had some cold and allergy issues and couldn't sing. He needed to introduce a new song to the choir for Sunday morning. So he played the digital hymn and had them sing along while Cannon played the keyboard and added in a trumpet part.
"Without the technology that LifeWayWorship.com offers, I couldn't have made all that happen in the time we had," Hoover said.
Having had time to go over the music in his head for a couple of days, Cannon has the opportunity to experiment with some sound.
"Every once in a while, I'll throw in something Mike doesn't expect," Cannon said with a laugh. "I'll drop the keyboard and just let the choir sing a chorus or a verse or maybe improvise a variation on the melody, but they are good to just follow along wherever I take them. I just tell them to keep up!"
North View isn't a large church, running about 100 on Sunday mornings. Hoover said as helpful as LifeWayWorship.com is, he imagines it would seem almost like a miracle for smaller churches.
"My brother is the pastor of a tiny church in Viney Fork, Ky.," Hoover said. "He does everything -- preaching, teaching and music. He uses LifeWayWorship.com too. He doesn't have musicians. He may just have three or four people in the choir, but he'll have good music."
Mike Harland, director of LifeWay Worship, noted that many Southern Baptist churches struggle to find musicians. "LifeWayWorship.com could be so beneficial to these churches, giving them the means to provide a quality worship experience no matter how many worshippers they have," he said.
"It was our hope and prayer from the inception of LifeWayWorship.com that ministers of music, as well as the single staff member churches, would be able to have a quality worship experience for their members, no matter how many or how few," Harland said.

If you're a wine lover, you likely already know this -- South Dakotans can't purchase wines directly from wineries.
We're only one of nine states that still has a ban on regulated direct shipments of wine. But a proposal in our state legislature looks to change that.
Here's how South Dakota's law works now -- if you went to California, visited a winery and fell in love with a specific wine, you wouldn't be able to mail a bottle -- or case -- back home.
This new bill would change that -- allowing more choices for consumers.
What would this mean for our local wineries?
Don South of Strawbale Winery is able to ship his wine directly to his consumers in almost every state, but South Dakota's not one of them.
That said, anyone in South Dakota can buy Strawbale Wine if they live within 20 miles of a grocery store or liquor store.

Maybe you had somebody on your fantasy football team. Maybe you placed a bet on this game. Maybe you had nothing better to do. Point is, there was a football game played tonight between the Minnesota Vikings and the New York Giants. If you want to call it that.
I am 27, and have been a student of the game of football for my entire life. In all of my years, I have never, ever, seen a more pathetic excuse of a professional football game than what I saw tonight. I don't just mean that for the Vikings. I mean overall, the play of both teams, was horrible. The Giants played lethargic, pathetic, and with a half effort, and they won by 16 points.
I do not know who's idea it was to start Josh Freeman tonight, but he obviously was not ready and won't be for a while. What we saw, is the Minnesota Vikings made a business decision to start a player who had been there for 10 days at the quarterback position. I dont know why, but it was the wrong decision.
But back to my original point though. These two teams, and the league for that matter, should be absolutely embarrassed at the product that was on the field tonight.

Women's mixed martial arts (MMA) is currently enjoying a boom in popularity, thanks to the recent success of Invicta FC and Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC), both of which built their success on the foundation laid by Scott Coker in Strikeforce.
The former home of UFC women's bantamweight champion Ronda Rousey.
In addition, we have a new crop of female fighters joining the ranks of ZUFFA on the upcoming season of The Ultimate Fighter (TUF) 18 (watch the tryout video here), which premieres on FOX Sports 1 on Sept. 4, 2013 and features Rousey coaching opposite heated rival Miesha Tate.
"Rowdy" is widely-recognized as the queen of queens; however, Cris Cyborg is quickly gaining steam after a complete mauling of Marloes Coenen at Invicta FC 6.
But we would be remiss in our duty if we failed to recognize the rest of the top 10 pound-for-pound women in MMA, so the SB Nation panel -- compiled by MMA Mania, MMA Fighting and Bloody Elbow -- went into the war room and battled it out.
These are the results:
1. Ronda Rousey
2. Cris Cyborg
3. Cat Zingano
4. Jessica Aguilar
5. Sarah Kaufman
6. Miesha Tate
7. Megumi Fujii
8. Jessica Eye
9. Alexis Davis
10. Marloes Coenen
To see how these compare to the "official" UFC rankings click here.
Now it's time to hash this thing out in the comments section. Who made the list and shouldn't ... and vice-versa? You've heard from us, Maniacs, now let's hear from you.

One Zone Stopped Working (troubleshooting ideas or call a plumber?) (4 Posts)

One Zone Stopped Working (troubleshooting ideas or call a plumber?)I have a tankless oil water heater with 4 zones (2 up 2 main level) of baseboard heat. Just yesterday one zone stopped working. Baseboard is cool and both ends up pipe are cool in this zone.
I checked the temp on what I believe are the return pipes for each zone and they are all 100+ degrees.
My main question is how do I troubleshoot whether I have a thermostat issue or something else? As part of an energy audit by Mass Save a month+ ago they put in a timer thermostat in the zone affected. I could try putting back the old thermostat.
I've read several other posts and have heard about possible frozen pipes, air in the system, etc, so wasn't sure where to start. I'm probably not comfortable doing anything to my system that requires emptying the water, so I may be in the 'call a plumber' category. Thanks!
Some pictures of a few pieces of the system attached if that helps.

firsti'm going to give u an easy way off testing, take off that thermostat (is it a heat only thermostat) and connect the red+white wires together, i like to use a wire with an aligator clip on each side. u should have heat within 5-6 min, if not then your zone valve needs attention

you most likely dont have a water issueIt's probably something on the wiring/control side. Could be a bad zone valve, or some other control. Without knowing what other components are on your boiler, your best bet would be to call a qualified oil tech to come out and do the basic troubleshooting.
Regarding the thermostat, if the room temperature is below the set point temp, and the thermostat is not indicating a call for heat, then you can start at the thermostat.
I have a customer with a similiar "energy saver" thermostat from the utility company, that was having a problem. After talking to the utility company, they told me, the customer should call the utility company, they will come out for free and check the thermostat. If it is bad they will replace, if not bad, tell the customer to call their hvac company to repair the systemsteve

Third World Trouble SHooting:Try this.
See that god zone valve in the second photo, look on the left side, to the left of the terminal strip. See that lever that is near the top? pull slightly down. It should stop or get hard about 1/2" down. Go turn all the thermostats up as high as they will go. Wait five to ten minutes. If you find that one zone isn't getting hot, check all the hot ones. That lever will easily come all the way down to the bottom of its travel. Try the one that is cold. Does the lever only travel a short distance? If it does, the power head may be bad. You should get a pro to check it out. If you try t yourself, be sure that you kill all power to the system and first remove the top, red wire from the power head.
If it turns out that the zone that isn't working and it is the zone with the electronic thermostat, Taco and others actually suggest an isolation relay to power the thermostat and the valve. It needs the full voltage to run properly.
If you try it yourself, follow the instructions. Remove the red wire. Go have a cup of coffee, come back and remove the rest of the wires. If you notice any small sparks arcing, there is still power to the valve.

By Robin Jedlicka - bio | email VALDOSTA, GA (WALB) - So many people showed up at a job fair in Valdosta Thursday that some of them were turned away.
Wild Adventures is looking to hire 100 people for the summer season.
More than 400 people showed up to apply Thursday, many of them waiting in the heat for hours.
Most positions were filled within the first three hours of the job fair that was scheduled to last five hours.

A conflict between sequential rationality and consistency principles
AbstractIt is shown that no solution concept that selects sequentially rational (perfect, proper, persistent, or members of some stable set of) equilibria satisfies the following consistency property. Suppose that in every solution of the game G, player i's action is a, and denote by Ga the game in which player i is restricted to choose a. Then some player j\neqi has an action c that is used with positive probability in both some solution of G and some solution of Ga. This result illustrates a conflict between a mild consistency condition and sequential rationality.

Diesel Rises for First Time in Three Days on Unemployment Report
May 2 (Bloomberg) -- Diesel climbed for the first time in three days in New York after a government report showed U.S. unemployment declined to the lowest level since 2008, signaling greater economic growth and demand for the trucking fuel.
The jobless rate dropped to 6.3 percent while employers boosted payrolls by 288,000 in April, the most since January 2012, Labor Department figures showed today in Washington.
"Positive unemployment reports indicate we might see a great demand for diesel," said Tom Finlon, director of Energy Analytics Group Ltd., in Jupiter, Florida. "Also, the market has been beaten up this week so we're probably also seeing a little bit of reversal."
Ultra low sulfur diesel futures for June delivery rose 0.83 cent, or 0.3 percent, to settle at $2.9223 a gallon on the New York Mercantile Exchange on volume that was 23 percent below the 100-day average at 3:20 p.m. Futures fell 2.2 percent this week.
The fuel's crack spread versus West Texas Intermediate oil gained 1 cent to $22.98 a barrel, while the premium to European benchmark Brent oil declined 48 cents to $14.15 a barrel.
June-delivery gasoline futures rose 0.57 cent to $2.9445 a gallon. Volume was 27 percent above the 100-day average. Futures posted a weekly decline of 4.2 percent.
The motor fuel's crack spread versus WTI slipped 10 cents to $23.91 a barrel. The premium to Brent crude dropped 59 cents to $15.08.
Retail gasoline prices in the U.S., averaged nationwide, dropped 0.04 cent to $3.683 a gallon, a fourth consecutive decline, according to Heathrow, Florida-based AAA. Prices are 15.8 cents higher than a year ago.

Obtaining a degree shows that prospective hires can take things through completion.
Jake Fuller was studying to become a teacher, following in the career path of his parents, when he decided the profession wasn't exactly what he had in mind. He sought something that was physically challenging, valued by the community and included an academic degree. That's when he discovered...

"Additionally, some students come to the community college environment not yet academically 'mature.' What I mean by this is that they are not yet confident in their academic ability. Community colleges offer an opportunity for their course work to be contextualized around topics in which they are interested, and therefore the student becomes more motivated to learn. Once a student achieves some academic success, they become more confident to take on other more challenging courses. As far as basic skills, we emphasize that they are essential for overall career success and longevity. In Fire Technology, we embed basic skills throughout the career and technical education experience. Integrating reading, writing, math and critical thinking is a natural fit for the firefighting profession, and we try to do so at every turn explaining to the students and cadets how these skills directly apply to their future. We explain that it is not enough to be simply physically strong, but rather you have to be physically and academically fit."
Basic training for student firefighters
At Moreno Valley College, the Ben Clark Training Center, which is owned by the Riverside County Fire Department and local law enforcement agencies, offers a basic firefighter academy during its 12-week program. College credit is earned and may be applied to an associate's degree and transferred to select California four-year colleges and universities. Hannum says the discipline is "an accredited state fire training program. It offers a fire academy and associate's degree in fire technology. Our curriculum also offers a concentration in our chief officer series. We have four different options for associate's degrees.
"We run three fire academies every year, which can accommodate between 90 and 100 students. Students receive the NFPA standard for Firefighter I, which meets the curriculum set by our state training office here in California. When they complete our training, they still need to do some field training before they can apply to the state for their State of California Firefighter I certificate. When students finish they will have more than 350 hours of instruction. It's a 12-week academy – 6 A.M. to 6 P.M. We require participants be state-registered EMTs prior to entry in the academy along with a physical agility exam."
"In the community college system in California, a student must complete a minimum of 60 units and sometimes a little bit more...They must take all of the program requirement courses and the general education requirements for their degree."
University transfer in California is not as simple as in other states. Two-year institutions are able to place associate's-level students at some institutions; others are not eligible for transfer. "There are certain institutions in California that offer 2+2 programs," Hannum says. "This allows students who get their associates to transfer, to say, Cal State-LA, where there is a fire administration bachelor's degree.
"We have a very close working relationship with our county training officers along with our advisory committee, which are made up of members of local fire departments. Where that relationship has been really helpful is in our needs assessment. Riverside County Fire Department officials assess what their manpower needs are. And then we try to schedule our admissions accordingly."
Partnership pays off for students and agencies
At the heart of the Moreno Valley College program is the Ben Clark Training Center. "Much of what we do could not take place without their equipment and assistance," Hannum says. "Through a contractual agreement we have use of this facility. But what's really important is the relationship and working with the department and knowing what their needs are."
Conversely, students at the Moreno Valley College had the advantage of county fire officials available to them as coaches and mentors. Although Hannum points out that the college does not place students in jobs; it is their responsibility to seek employment, the working relationship between the college and fire department is a formidable asset. "We try to prepare students in what to expect in interviews and in the hiring process as they seek jobs in the workforce."
The teaching is structured as well as the culture in which it is presented. "We have a paramilitary culture; and we enforce that culture even in our core classes," Hannum says. "We require students to act accordingly – by addressing their superiors according to rank and last name. It might seem a little old fashioned, but I've had parents contact me asking, 'What have you done to my child?' "
The associate's program has a standardized curriculum throughout the state, which is a major advantage to students and instructors alike. "I'm in Southern California near the city of Riverside. A student begins her career in the northern end of the state and for whatever reason they end up relocating here," says Hannum, a former firefighter. "We accept their Firefighter I certification and courses just like they got them here. It also tells employers that perspective employees have met a certain standard of curriculum."

- 1/4 cup unbleached all-purpose flour
- 1 1/2 pounds potatoes, peeled
- * * * * For the Filling * * * *

Grate the potatoes into the strainer. Press out any extra liquid, then combine with the onion mixture, mixing to combine.

After 25 minutes, brush the potatoes with oil, then bake for 15 minutes more, until the edges are golden brown. Remove from the oven and turn the oven temperature to 350°F.
While the crust is baking, heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the leeks and mushrooms and cook until the leeks are wilted, and the mushrooms give up their liquid and it cooks away (you don't want the vegetables to be juicy). Season with salt and pepper to taste.

Accommodation Iceland Reykjavik KEX Hostel
Photos Facilities Map Streetview Reviews
KEX. It's the Icelandic word for 'biscuit' and new social hostel in Reykjavik. What's not to love?
Housed in an old biscuit factory in the heart of Reykjavik, KEX is just steps from all the bars, clubs, and music venues that give this city its legendary reputation. It's also a painless distance from late-night munchies and a mind-boggling array of coffee houses, shops, and tourist attractions.
Of course, you might not even want to venture outside of the hostel with all its features, including a café and bar, lounge area, heated outdoor patio, tourist information desk, laundry room, small fitness centre and free Wi-Fi.
In addition to our dormitory rooms we offer three different double rooms.
The Double Plus has one double bed, a private bathroom, linens and towels and a fantastic seaside view.
The Double Standard has one double bed (of the most clever convertible design in case you get tired of being so close to your travel partner), shared bathrooms, linens and towels and - if you are lucky - the same fantastic view.
The Twin Private has two single beds, linens and towels and a better-than-average chance of making your friends back home quite jealous indeed.
Ladies - for your comfort and peace-of-mind, we offer female-only dorms. If you would prefer to reserve a bed in such a dorm, please make sure to do so directly from the reservation window. If none are available, you are welcome to contact us after booking to double-check.
Families - a few of our four-bed dorms are equipped with bunk beds which can be pushed together to form what we like to call a double bunk bed. This has Mom and Dad on the bottom and kids on top. Baby cribs are also available to families traveling with a diaper bag. Please be sure to contact us after booking in order to arrange for this type of room. Space is limited, and family rooms are reserved on a first-come basis.
Children under the age of 6 stay for free and children under 12 pay 50%. The same is true for many of the excursions which can be booked directly from the hostel reception.
Two guest kitchenettes and private laundry facilities are also available. And with a variety of rooms for up to 138 guests, you'll have no problem meeting interesting new travel buddies from exotic places.
Our hostel just oozes personality and soul, just like our guests. Every piece of décor has a story to tell. Using salvaged materials and found objects from various sources, the design is an organic concept blending Iceland's past with a modern, international twist. The raw industrial spaces and vintage furnishings combine to give it a homey, eclectic feel.
With the affordable nightly rates, you'll still have enough cash left over to enjoy a few pints of Viking beer or sample some local delicacies like hákarl and brennivín.
We're located in the centre of Reykjavik with a view across the bay to Mt. Esja. The old factory that houses KEX is also home to The Living Art Museum and studios of various artists, dancers, and fashion designers. We're within an easy walking distance to the city's interesting nightlife, restaurants, shopping streets, cultural attractions and other points of interest in the city centre. To reach those places a little further afield, the hostel is well connected to the city's public bus system.
Please note that children under 16 cannot stay in shared dorms. Children over 16 years of age can stay in shared dorms when travelling with a guardian.
For a flawless experience, familiarize yourself with the following conditions:
Children under the age of 6 stay for free and children under 12 pay 50%. The same is true for many of the excursions which can be booked directly from the hostel reception.
We are excited to meet you, but if you absolutely must cancel your reservation, please do so by 2pm the day before your arrival (Iceland Time).
Lockers are available to secure your valuables. Bring a lock or buy one from us.
And lastly, look for us on Facebook. Friend us if updates are your thing; we like to keep everyone aware of what is happening in Reykjavik during their stay. Don't forget your bathing suit!
This is a Trusted Review. Why?
The allocation of beds in the dorms was not accurate resulting in referring back to reception as guest were not sticking to beds that were allocated
Otherwise the best hostel ever !!!!
This is a Trusted Review. Why?
Since it's a hostel you obviously won't likely have a king sized bed to yourself, but as for factors like service, cleanliness, location, and having a variety of awesome things to do, this place is better than any hotel I've stayed at.
This is a Trusted Review. Why?
Very cool hostel with a bar in the same house. We had live music on Saturday! Good place to stay in Reykjavik!
This is a Trusted Review. Why?
Is,s a great option to stay in Reykiavik a few days. The service, the decoration and the young ambient is very very good. It,s easy to know new people in this hotel to speak about the travels or the other things. Very near to the center.

A Mintat G3 transportable petrol station (by Marcello Minale) has never made it beyond concept. This is just one example of numerous brilliant designs that, for a variety of reasons, have never seen the light of day.
The Best Designs Never Seen forms part of the Best Never Seen - an initiative dedicated to identifying and paying tribute to great creativity that has never seen the light of day. And the search is now on.....
Companies and individuals are invited to submit work they are extremely proud of yet has never been fully realised. The areas covered by this category are corporate and brand identity, packaging and graphic design (not the Internet). Panels of expert judges identify the best - finally allowing it to bathe in the limelight it deserves. A TV series, book, exhibition and awards event dedicated to the work are being planned.
Besides designs, categories include: buildings; cartoons; fashion, furniture; games; inventions/products; music videos; photographs; television and vehicles.
The Best Never Seen is being orchestrated by The Brand Guru Marcel Knobil who has already successfully organised the Best Ads Never Seen (featured on BBC, ITV and Channel 4). He is also founder of Superbrands and Cool BrandLeaders, has a weekly spot on BBC Radio London every week, and is responsible for 16 books on branding.
Knobil says: "There is some outstanding work created which never gets exposure or receives the applause it deserves. Now it will. Who knows, a fair amount of the work might finally get realised."

Texas 7
As the search for the Texas 7 continued, America's Most Wanted ran another segment on the elusive fugitives on Saturday, January 20, the third such airing about the case on that program. The program basically reiterated what was known about the seven escapees, and provided information about the $500,000 reward in the hope that it would bring forward someone who had seen the convicts or knew where they were hiding.
At one point the magnitude of the Texas 7 case was compared to that of the so-called "Railroad Murderer," Angel Maturino Resendez. In that case it turned out that the suspect's family proved instrumental in bringing it to a successful conclusion, and the investigators hunting for the Texas 7 hoped for something similar in their case.
Although the investigators didn't know it yet, they were about to get what they were hoping for, except it would not be a relative of any of the Texas 7 who helped them. Wayne Holder, owner of the Coachlight RV Park in Woodland Park, Colorado, located a few miles northwest of Colorado Springs near the U.S. Air Force Academy, had watched America's Most Wanted on Saturday night and thought that he recognized some of the fugitives. A group of seven men had checked into the park on Monday, January 1, driving a 32-foot Pace Arrow RV and other vehicles. They had told him that they were a group of traveling Christians doing missionary work, and had seemed like such a nice, pleasant group of men. One of them had even joined a small Bible study group at the park within days of their arrival. But Holder became suspicious after seeing the latest installment of America's Most Wanted, and his suspicions had bothered him all night long. He wanted to make the call to the police, but he also wanted to be certain that his suspicions were correct. To be sure that he wasn't making a mistake, he fired up his computer the next day and checked out the mug shots of the Texas 7 on AMW's website. After viewing the photos for a while, there was no longer any doubt in his mind. The Texas 7 were indeed staying at his park. Astounded by what he had discovered, he didn't know what to do. If things weren't handled properly and carefully, it could get dangerous real fast, not only for him but also for others staying in the park. But he knew that he had to do the right thing.
Shortly after 4 p.m. on Sunday, January 21, Holder called 911 and reported his suspicions to Teller County Sheriff's Department Deputy Nicholas Pinell, and from there the case broke wide open.

March, 2010
March 2010 - Utah Business Magazine -
Jack Livingood says one of his strategies for business was inspired by a Nelson Mandela quote: "There is no passion to be found playing small—in settling for a life that is less than the one you are capable of living." Livingood translates the quote to mean "think big." And since joining Big-D in 1978, thinking big has led to the construction company's success.
"During my career, Big-D has grown from $3 million in revenue to more than $600 million in revenue, and we have completed more than 100 million square feet of construction," he says. "Today we have more than 400 employees working out of six offices and throughout the Western United States."
Livingood's long-term professional vision is "to create a company that is grounded in values where there is no difference between what is said and done, to create an environment where good people can build outstanding careers, and to ultimately be the most sought after company in the business."
Cory Moore, Big-D Construction vice president, says one of Livingood's greatest skills is encouraging his employees' entrepreneurial spirit, and surrounding himself with great and influential people. For Livingood, success is a matter of keeping promises to customers, employees and community. "The measurement is successful long-term relationships," he says.
Livingood, who was elected Big-D president at age 28 and CEO at age 35, says he values the lessons he learned from role models in the business world: Steve Covey for teaching personal responsibility; Jack Welch for teaching candid communication; Kent Murdock for teaching consistent company culture; and his father, Dee Livingood, for teaching him values that have defined his business career and led to his success.
Moore says Livingood is also respected for his passion when it comes to construction and business. "Jack likes to be ahead of the curve when it comes to any new innovations in the construction industry and the markets. I think this is very clear with how Big-D Construction maneuvered to become one of the first in the green building community to be nationally certified," he says, adding that Livingood's innovative leadership has placed the company on the road to long-term success.

The Seitzer impact!
The crux of Manley's argument: "If you are making the assumption that taking a walk is less a function of patience and more a function of pitcher fear, I can see where you care coming from. So, I decided to evaluate that question." You can guess what he finds. The Royals simply do not value taking pitches, walks, and OBP. And you can't blame it on pitchers fearing the Royals obvious lack of power. Novel? No. Not at all. We've all been arguing this for years here (and elsewhere). But Manley's critique is devastating nonetheless. Why? Because it's coming from the KC Star, which (other than Posnanski) has generally shilled KC success stories or unfounded hope. - TL
A brief explanation of OBP, SLG, OPS and wOBA.
In thinking about OBP and current or prospective Royals players, perhaps we should think more about the virtues of near-HOFer Andre Dawson. Perhaps having a few Dawsons is what Dayton Moore sees when he pursues a line-up of mixed OBP guys? Here's an interesting quote from Rosenthal: Among more recently elected Hall of Famers, Eddie Murray was at .359, Reggie Jackson .356 and Dave Winfield .353 — OBPs that would not rank them among the top 50 active players. Meanwhile, Ryne Sandberg was at .344, Robin Yount .342, Cal Ripken .340 and Gary Carter .335 — not that much better than Dawson. - TL
We took six walks in last night's second game against the Yankees: 3 by Teahan, 1 by Grudzielanek, 1 by Butler, and 1 by Gordon. I recall Teahan having a few games like this last year. We struck...
In light of this, I would like our very own moderator, Will McDonald, to issue a public apology. ;) But seriously, the ~five~ walks earned in today's game ought to assuage the concerns of all...

CHICAGO -- Governor Pat Quinn signed four new laws Wednesday, designed to increase protections for consumers.Those laws not only call for lowering utility costs for consumers and helping consumers improve their credit scores by resolving billing issues, but also put a stop to false phone charges, known as "cramming".
The practice of "cramming" has become a $2 billion a year business, according to a release from the Governor's office. Vendors will often use deceptive sales pitches and place unauthorized charges on consumers' phone bills for items such as calling cards, voice mail service, and extended warranties.
Most often, charges range from $10 to $45 and typically go undetected. Only about one out of every 20 cramming victims is aware of the false charges.
Now, House Bill 5211 aims to outlaw it altogether.
"No one should have to pay for services they don't want and didn't order," said Senator Dave Koehler (D-Peoria), one of the sponsors of the bill. "The fact that 'cramming' scam artists target seniors and other vulnerable Illinois residents makes me especially proud that we are outlawing this practice."
The law goes into effect starting January 1, 2013.

Barcelona failed to win the first leg of their UEFA Champions League quarterfinal against AC Milan and, well, they're not very happy about it. Although the defending champions played fairly well, they weren't at their best and Milan were full value for the 0-0 draw, meaning that Pep Guardiola's side have failed to score an away goal in a knockout fixture for the first time ever.
FC Barcelona has lodged a complaint with UEFA over the state of the pitch at the Giuseppe Meazza (San Siro) stadium during the Champions League match.
While Barcelona may have had a point - the turf at the San Siro has been rather notoriously awful this year, and it's probably not a coincidence that it's been in particular poor condition whenever Milan have had to deal with passing-heavy sides - it's difficult not to see this as the Catalans not just being sore losers (draw-ers?). Barca give the impression that they simply expect the opposition to accept that Barcelona's way is the true way and not do anything about stopping them. That might be unfair, but since UEFA are highly unlikely to do anything about Wednesday's events, kicking up a public fuss about it is ultimately counterproductive.
Barcelona and AC Milan fought out a scoreless draw on Wednesday at the San Siro. For more on the two sides, check out Barca Blaugranes and the AC Milan Offside.

The case against the SF8 is a frame up based on torture-induced "confessions" and fabricated evidence. The same case was thrown out of court 30 years ago but was revived after 9/11 with money from Homeland Security. After two and a half long years, the preliminary hearing is finally starting on June 8 and is expected to last for three months. The hearing will determine whether or not the SF 8 will go to trial.

FACTA Hurts Everyone, Especially Americans
What could be wrong with Congress trying to catch the bad guys, in this case, folks who use offshore tax havens to avoid paying their fair share of taxes?
It seems as if the legislation meant to catch tax evaders caught a lot of other folks in its net, too.
While it seems like a law designed to catch tax cheaters is a good idea, it's implementation is making life difficult for the tens of thousands tax-abiding Americans residing abroad (including Israel) who now are facing difficulties at banks and foreign investment houses.
The Foreign Account Tax Compliance Act of 2010 (FATCA), imposed upon foreign banks and financial institutions the obligation to identify American account holders or face a 30% tax penalty.
Backdrop to FATCA
The U.S. government needed to raise revenues, and thought it had a good target: levying taxes on money hidden in accounts in foreign banks and financial institutions.
In order to go after these concealed assets, America needed to go after the banks and financial institutions that help hide them. Who would have thought it possible that America could flex its muscles overseas and force foreign banks to report their customers to a foreign government? Apparently the threat of extracting taxes and fines on the foreign institutions itself was a great motivator and Uncle Sam managed to remove the veil of secrecy on Swiss accounts when it successfully negotiated a settlement with UBS. In order to avoid criminal prosecution by the Justice Department, UBS paid a large fine and disclosed details about thousands of the bank's American depositors.
The FATCA Legislation
FATCA imposes an obligation on foreign financial institutions to register with the IRS if they have depositors or conduct financial transactions with U.S. citizens or businesses. Registration includes an agreement to identify and report information about American-held accounts directly to the IRS.
Critics of the legislation, and particularly the foreign financial institutions, view it as an improper extension of the enforcement powers of the IRS into foreign countries. However, France, Germany, Italy, Spain, and Great Britain were the first nations to lend legitimacy to FATCA by agreeing to comply with the legislation's mandates.
Impact of FATCA on Americans Living Abroad
Foreign banks are concerned about the additional costs to them associated with complying with FATCA disclosure rules. Rather than incur these expenses, foreign financial institutions are closing their doors to Americans living abroad.
As a result, it's difficult for many American expatriates to find a bank or financial institution that is willing to do business with them. Americans living in foreign countries for legitimate reasons are being lumped with tax evaders and tax cheats by foreign banks that are wary of subjecting their institution to FATCA disclosure requirements. These Americans are being treated as criminals by foreign banks seeking to avoid FATCA.
In the end, the law-abiding American expats and foreign financial institutions are the biggest losers from the FATCA legislation, since the bad guys will probably find a way around the system anyway.
American expatriates (olim included) are being subjected to many new regulatory requirements by Uncle Sam. My new book, The Expatriates Guide to Handling Money and Taxes, discusses how expats can become compliant with the IRS and gives strategies for dealing with common financial problems faced by expats.

It's been an eventful 15 minutes for Chelsea and Barcelona, and that includes the halftime period. Just before the stroke of halftime, Lionel Messi went down and appeared to be injured, and this was followed by a Didier Drogba goal to close the first half. Over the halftime break, everyone wondered whether or not Messi would return to the pitch after this happened to him.
Messi came out of the tunnel and is playing for Barcelona to start the second half. In this second half, the kind of thing that happened to Messi might happen to more people. As if the gods watch football and felt like making things a bit more dramatic, the rain picked up considerably during the break. It's now pouring at Stamford Bridge.
We'll have continuous pre-game updates and live game coverage in our Chelsea vs. Barcelona, UEFA Champions League Semifinals StoryStream. For more on the two teams, head over to Chelsea FC blog We Ain't Got No History and FC Barcelona blog Barca Blaugranes.
