The Los Angeles Clippers have developed a curious habit of late. They've lost three of their last four games, and each of those losses came when they fell far behind by playing disinterested basketball for three quarters before finally attempting a comeback in the fourth. Last Monday in Minnesota, they trailed the Timberwolves by as much as 15, and by 11 in the fourth quarter, before they finally clamped down on defense. Chris Paul had a chance to tie the game in the final seconds, but missed the last of three free throws. Last Wednesday in New Jersey, the Clippers trailed the Nets by 18 in the third quarter. This time the Clippers managed to take a two-point lead with less than 10 seconds to go on a pair of Paul free throws -- but Jordan Farmar hit a three pointer in the final seconds to give New Jersey the win.
Sunday night in Los Angeles is was the Golden State Warriors' turn. The Clippers once again were thoroughly outplayed for most of the first three quarters. The Warriors took a 15-point lead in the first quarter and built it all the way up to 21 with just 2:32 left in the third quarter. At that point the Clippers finally woke up. Over the next 10 minutes, they outscored the Warriors 28-7 to tie the game at 83. But once again, after expending so much energy to get back into the game, the Clippers didn't have anything left to actually finish it.
The Clippers had two possessions to take the lead at 83-83 but failed to do so. Eventually, the Warriors got their act back together, outscoring the Clippers, 8-1, over the next couple of minutes to put the game away for a 97-93 victory.
Out of character for the Clippers, the bench got them back into the game. The starters all had negative plus/minus ratings for the evening, four of them in double figures, while the reserves were all in plus territory. Reserve guard Eric Bledsoe in particular had an impact. He finished the game +12 in 16 minutes, and his defense on Monta Ellis in the fourth quarter briefly turned the game for the Clippers. Unexpectedly, when coach Vinny Del Negro inserted Chris Paul back into the lineup, the Clippers comeback stalled.
The Warriors, one of the worst defensive teams in the league this season, frustrated the Clippers all night. Blake Griffin finished the game with 27 points and 12 rebounds, while Paul, playing with a mask to protect a broken nose suffered Friday in San Antonio, finished with 23. Each had to work much harder for scores than they usually do.
On offense, Ellis carried much of the load with 21 points and 11 assists while David Lee had 18 points and 10 rebounds. Dorell Wright staked the Warriors to their big early lead. Wright scored 16 points in the first quarter, making all six of his field goals including four three-pointers, the last one from well beyond 30 feet. Wright scored as many first quarter points as the entire Clippers team, and the Warriors rode his hot hand to a 28-16 lead. The rest of the game the Clippers were trying to climb their way back into the game -- but for the third time in four games, they fell just short.
The win improves the Warriors to 17-21; the Clippers drop to 23-16.

© Copyright 2014 Gwinnett Daily Post
Gwinnett officials are looking at a way to reduce traffic, emissions and the number of garbage removal operators allowed to work in unincorporated parts of the county.Gwinnett Clean and Beautiful Director Connie Wiggins said a new trash plan will make a big difference to residents' quality of life. Here, Wiggins answers a number of questions residents may have about that plan. Q: How is this different from the way trash service works now? A: Under the current plan, anyone can ask for and receive permission to pick up garbage in any part of the county. That means that there is no limit to the number of trash providers that could operate in Gwinnett. Residents contract with companies individually, free to change their trash provider for any reason, at any time. The new plan will divide the county into eight districts, where companies will be required to bid on a particular district. Everyone in that district will have the same trash provider. Q: Why are they doing this? A: The county wants to limit the number of garbage companies that can operate in Gwinnett. They also want a more efficient system, with fewer trucks crisscrossing the county. That will help the environment and be safer for Gwinnett residents. Q: How does this affect me if I live in a city? A: Only Suwanee uses a similar system to Gwinnett's, and the city is considering following the county's lead with the change. All other cities either pick up their own trash or have a single contractor. Q: At what stage is the trash plan? A: It's currently being reviewed by the Atlanta Regional Commission and the Department of Community Affairs, which should complete their processes by the end of the month. From there, it goes back to the Gwinnett County commission for final approval. The agencies are not looking at the plan's content, but at how the planning process took place. Q: Will I have another chance to comment on the plan? A: No. All public hearings are over. Q: When will the plan go into effect? A: It is slated to start in 2009. The new system will likely begin in either July or September of 2009 in order to give companies and customers enough time to make changes. Until the new system goes into place, residents will keep paying their trash haulers directly. Q: How will I pay my bill under the new plan? A: Fees for garbage pickup will be added to annual tax bills, which residents pay each year. Streetlights, speed bumps and stormwater fees are charged via the same method. If a mortgage company pays taxes, the amount of money in escrow would be adjusted to cover trash services, as well. Q: What if I rent? A: Because the tax bills go to property owners, they will be responsible for paying the fees. How they choose to collect those fees from renters is up to them. Q: What if I can't afford garbage service? A: Discounts are offered to senior citizens who qualify for the homestead tax exemption. This is because seniors generate less waste than families. No other discounts are available. Q: What happens to my deposit? A: Many trash companies require residents to pay three months in advance for services, and companies are obligated to provide services that they have collected payment for. But the county requires no deposits and any financial agreements made between a company and a customer is between the company and that person. Because of the amount of time between when bids are awarded and when the new plan will start, residents and companies will have plenty of warning to stop payment for service in advance of the change. Q: How much money will I save under the new plan? A: That is impossible to tell until companies bid on the different districts. The average cost for garbage pickup, with yard waste, seven recyclables and bulky items picked up, is $24 a month. Q: How could it cost me less if you're eliminating my choice? A: Now, trucks crisscross the county because companies are not allowed to refuse service to anyone within the district they're allowed to serve - sometimes, all of Gwinnett. Keeping trucks in a certain area will reduce the number of vehicles needed and minimize fuel costs. That, in turn, should cause the price of the service to go down. The companies will also be competing, still, to have the lowest bid. Q: Why do I have to have garbage service? A: Everyone generates waste, which needs to be removed. Using someone else's service is tantamount to stealing it. Q: Will the same companies that are picking up the garbage now be the same ones doing it next year? A: Maybe, maybe not. Companies from Texas, Tennessee, Florida and other areas have expressed interest in bidding in some districts. The process will be open to everyone - not just the seven residential companies that currently collect garbage in the county. Q: So how will you decide who it is? A: The county will put out a request for proposals, then pick the lowest and best offer for each of eight districts. Q: What will stop them from raising the prices after they get the bid? A: There is no automatic escalation clause. Companies can only raise the price of garbage collection with the permission of the county's Board of Commissioners, after a hearing. Prices should remain unchanged for at least the first year or year and a half. Q: Will everyone pay the same amount? A: That's still being decided. The service areas may be averaged, so everyone pays the same price, or prices might be determined in each district. Q: How long will this last? A: Companies will bid for the districts for seven years. Q: What are the districts? A: That's still being determined. Gwinnett Clean and Beautiful staffers are reviewing data to ensure that no neighborhoods are split between districts. The districts will be different sizes, but should have similar populations. Q: Is this going to put small haulers out of business? A: While there is no guarantee that any company will have a winning bid, the districts will vary in size to give both larger and smaller companies the opportunity to control different areas. Q: Can I just keep the trash company I have now? A: No. Once the new plan is in place, companies will only be allowed to pick up garbage in districts where they have won bids. Those that keep picking up trash where they aren't allowed to will be subject to citations and fines of $500 a day per violation. Q: What do the other people in the county think of this idea? A: More than 60 percent of residents said they would give up their choice in order to have more recycling options, according to Gwinnett Clean and Beautiful figures. Q: What will I get besides garbage pickup? A: The list of recyclable items will be increased from seven to 35. Yard waste -which some residents now pay extra for - may also be included. Q: How big of a problem are people who don't have trash service? A: There are 160,000 households in the county, and 20,000 of them have no garbage service. Q: Where will the garbage go? A: There are three waste transfer stations in Gwinnett -in Lawrenceville and Norcross - and one private landfill in Buford. The rest of the county's trash, about 90 percent, goes to Barrow, Banks and Forsyth counties. Q: Why will it take so long to change the way trash is picked up? A: Garbage companies that are interested in applying for a district will be able to attend a workshop on the new system this spring, with proposals due in the summer. They will be evaluated in the fall and contracts will be awarded in the winter. From there, the companies will need between six and nine months to get new equipment, verify routes, distribute containers and notify customers. Q: When will my trash get picked up? A: That depends on the company. Garbage collection is currently allowed between 7 a.m. and 7 p.m. Monday through Friday, though the times may be adjusted. Q: How big will my containers be? A: Seniors will get 65-gallon carts, while other residents will get 95-gallon containers for both garbage and recycling. Q: How do I get the company to do what I want with my container? A: Things such as whether lids are left open or closed or where the container is left can be included in the requirements for proposals. For suggestions on what should be included, e-mail email@example.com.

Everyone has angels or inner guidance to help them from birth. People are hearing angels, but may not realize it. Children are naturally connected with their angels and sometimes call them imaginary playmates.
Besides inner hearing (clairaudience), we have three other avenues of communication. Some people are more visual (clairvoyant) and see pictures. Others get more of a feeling and some just know or receive hunches. We have all four of these inner communication abilities, but one is predominent.
When individuals grow up and develop their intellectual nature with their feeling nature, they stay connected with their true being and desires. Having this balance also means they continue hearing angels, seeing, feeling and knowing their spiritual helpers. If we lose the connection in adulthood, and many people do, we can get it back.
It takes a little practice!
In today's high tech societies, many people are taught to think so much that they have a hard time tuning into their true inner senses and their inner guidance or angels.
The over-thinking tends to drown out their angels' communication. We can make the outer world so important that we lose this inner connection.
With practice, anyone can re-connect so they are clearly communicating with their angels, hearing angels, seeing, feeling, and knowing their angels. When they do, they have an unlimited source of insights and answers.
Their life changes forever as people realize they can communicate directly with their angels. They feel an inner security and peacefulness. They know that everything will be okay.
Individuals who have had truly great accomplishments have tapped into their deeper connection. They went beyond what they were taught from the outside world, and were able to combine the outer intellectual information with their inner senses. Often times they were tapping into their inner guidance or angels.

What's Trending in Beer 2012
Whether I intended it or not, it's an interesting exercise to look out across the vast plain of craft beerdom and consider the trends over the past year. Who knew I was starting something that could become a yearly feature?
To recap, since I'm guessing few of you clicked on the link above, in reviewing the end of 2010 and most of 2011, it seemed Belgian yeast had taken off in a big way, showing up in practically any kind of beer. The year prior had seen an explosion of Black IPAs. Before that, high gravity beers were all the rage and looking back even farther showed barrel aging had become common place.
What's happening with Belgian yeast? I think the trend of using Belgian yeast in just about anything is quieting down. Instead, there seems to be an increasing focus on using Belgian yeast to produce more Belgian style beers, an effort I greatly encourage.
What's trending now? In the Paul McCartney/Stevie Wonder,** yin/yang, balancing of the universe vein, white IPAs are becoming more common place. Yet, I wouldn't go so far as to call then a trend worthy of highlighting.
So, in my last year of visiting countless beer aisles, beer bars, breweries and brewfests, not to mention reading far too many articles, blogs and other musing on beer and attending a most excellent conference, here's what I see trending in beer:
1. Putting anything and everything into beer. There are clearly no boundaries in the U.S. craft beer industry. You can put anything into a beer in the United States and get away with it. Jalapenos? Not even unusual anymore. Maple syrup, pomegranates, bacon, chocolate, peanut butter? I've had beers with every one of them. It's what sets the U.S. apart from other countries, particularly European counterparts whose century old traditions continue to have a strangle hold on limited styles. I enjoy it, support it and embrace it. It certainly isn't new to the past year, but it seems we've reached a certain crescendo. Why not experiment? Beer is social, and as long as we understand and enjoy the fact that some experiments are going to work and some aren't, it's all good.
2. False Complexity. Experimentation is one thing. Throwing in 10 malts and 8 hops in an effort to suggest the beer is better is quite another. I'm not arguing such beers aren't necessarily good, or the number of malts and hops isn't important to the flavor of the beer. As I wrote this post I drank a beer with six hop varieties. It's a very good beer. Yet, there is a growing trend that focuses too much on a numbers game. It's advertising. It's the suggestion that more hops and more malts are essential to a better beer. Hogwash. One of the best IPAs anywhere is Blackfoot River Brewing Co.'s Single Malt IPA. It's a crazy good beer with plenty of depth and, as is evident from the name, has only one malt. Brew great beer with however many malts and hops you want to throw in. If they are important to the depth and complexity of the beer, great. But stop trying to convince us that more = better.
There you have it, my "what's trending in beer for 2012." What's trending in your beer world?
* Perhaps you didn't want that level of insight into how the blog operates from time to time.
** 10 points if you got the reference.
3 comments:
In South Carolina, we've seen a lot of single hop pales this year. Not a bad thing at all. Both in what you articulated about false complexity and for us in that we love our pales because of the number of hot months. We've also seen a lot of growth in the number of beer pairing dinners, but I'd attribute that to the continued rise in craft beer consumption.ReplyDelete
I just wanted to chime in on the Hop Rocket. We recently used the Hop Rocket on a porter. We did 10 gallons with the Hop Rocket and 10 gallons without. The Hop Rocket did make a big different in flavor. The non-HR batch went into a Bourbon Barrel and the HR batch is in kegs now.ReplyDelete
We also had good luck using the Hop Rocket as a Randall in the keezer, again with a side-by side-comparison of the same batch with and without.
Setting up the Hop Rocket as a randall in the kegerator or keezer properly to avoid spilling was not as easy as we expected, so we posted and article that shows how to setup ball valves and quick disconnects. Your readers might be interested in that setup as well!
Thanks for the input, Erik. What did you use in the Rocket for the porter? Why do you think it made quite a difference?ReplyDelete

It takes hundreds of volunteers to bring the annual Norsk Høstfest to fruition each year.
Among those volunteers, you'll find the loyal few who have been there from the beginning.
In tonight's Community Matters, Jennifer Thorgramson introduces us to Kari Mahle (CAR-y Molly) --- a Høstfest volunteer with decades of experience.
The Norsk Høstfest will be celebrating 36 years of Scandinavian heritage festivals in Minot the first week of October.
And among the smiling faces you'll find in Oslo Hall, Kari Mahle will be celebrating 36 years of volunteer work for the Hostfest.
(Kari Mahle, Høstfest Volunteer) "We're going to make the creme for the vestland lefse for the Høstfest."
While the menu has changed a number of times at the Sons of Norway booth, Kari's happy, helping hands have endured.
"Quite a bit of flavoring."
(Kari Mahle, Høstfest Volunteer) "The first year, we had like 2,000 people or something like that and we thought that was a big success."
"And then we add vanilla."
Today, Kari is volunteering her time to make one of many batches of almond creme --- the filling for Vestland lefse, what she calls one of the Sons of Norway best sellers.
"And away we go. It's a little messy."
(Kari Mahle, Høstfest Volunteer) "In the beginning we had to participate in everything because there wasn't that many involved but that has grown too. It's just like a reunion! You run around and see all the other vendors that come back year after year and the atmosphere is just amazing."
When she's not at the Sons of Norway booth, she's in the bunad show, the sweater show, and the Scandinavian relics show.
"It just feels like fun! It doesn't feel like work."
(Kari Mahle, Høstfest Volunteer) "Okay and that's all there is to it."
And her volunteer preparations sweeten the deal.
(Kari Mahle, Høstfest Volunteer) "It's gotten so big now that you feel like a small piece in the pie. But still, every little bit helps. It's exciting."
For Community Matters, near Glenburn, Jennifer Thorgramson, KX News.
To nominate someone you know for Community Matters: Volunteer of the Month, visit our website at www.kxnet.com.
The 32 annual Norsk Høstfest is October 1st through the 5th.

The schools, which finished construction in April of this year, each have 200 students attending and are at 80% capacity. The two schools also employ 15 people in teaching and administration positions. "We thank the staff of Ethiopia Reads and the community members of Azedabo and Fundame for their commitment to seeing these schools through to completion and now, most importantly, their operation," says Jon Moss, Pizza Ranch's Chief Operating Officer. Each of the two schools were built next to existing 1st-8th primary schools to enhance and support existing educational systems. Pizza Ranch restaurants contribute $.50 for every pound of coffee they use in the restaurants to non-profit Ethiopia Reads to oversee the operation of two schools in the region where Pizza Ranch's coffee is sourced.
Q: Tell us more about coffee's role at Pizza Ranch®.
A: Some people are surprised that a "pizza place" would serve a great cup of coffee, but Pizza Ranch is a lot more than just a "pizza place," and we've been serving Arabica quality coffee for the last eight years. Pizza Ranch provides a real community setting, and nothing fosters conversation like a cup of coffee. We'll serve up around 2,000,000 cups of coffee in the year ahead, mostly as a part of our buffet offering.
Q: What led Pizza Ranch to partner with Ethiopia Reads?
A: My wife and I have adopted two boys from the Kembata-Tembaro region, and through that process we discovered first-hand the need for education in this region. We also discovered that some of the finest coffees in the world come from the same region. It just seemed really natural to me that something we are using every day in our restaurants could be part of the solution to improve the lives of the people who provide our coffee. We started searching out organizations doing work in bringing education and literacy to this region and were led to Ethiopia Reads.
Q: Tell us more about how the coffee partnership has developed.
A: In April, 2012, my wife and I visited Ethiopia along with Adrie Groeneweg (Pizza Ranch president and co-founder) and his wife. We toured a couple of schools operated by Ethiopia Reads and saw first-hand saw how smart the children were and how excited they were to be getting a great education. Another highlight of the trip was that we actually got to see Pizza Ranch's new coffee in Ethiopia's capital city and got to see and learn about the process of getting our coffee to the U.S. As part of this process we started building relationships with the key people who would help ensure Pizza Ranch would serve a fantastic coffee. We hope these relationships continue to grow so that we can benefit the coffee farmers of Kembata-Tembaro into the future.
Q: How have Pizza Ranch's franchisees and managers responded to the program?
A: The response has been very positive. The whole Pizza Ranch community including franchisees, managers and the corporate office staff really stepped up big when learning of the new partnership. In fact, even before the first cup of Ethiopian coffee is served in a Pizza Ranch they raised the funds needed to build one of the new learning centers in Kembata-Tembaro for Ethiopia Reads. Our franchisees are really excited to be offering our guests a great cup of coffee that has a deep purpose. And with our guests' help, we will be able to give something more to the people who provided that amazing cup of coffee.

The one-point two million dollar home on Albans has become a tourist attraction for curious neighbors.
It's been very exciting. It's been very exciting. Everyone's been all about it all day. Since 9:00. Said Deborah Starrett.
After all it's not every day dozens of law enforcement officers including FBI agents don hazmat suits and raid a home in Rice Village. Just after this raid began they moved in on a million dollar-plus house on Fall River Road in the Memorial area. They were also searching a condo in Bryan. All of the properties come back to Houston art expert Cecily Horton and Andrew Schneck..We stopped by Horton's business, MKG Art Management. Staff there said she had not been in all day. Back in the neighborhoods facts were scarce, but rumors were plentiful..
"I've heard a little bit here.. a little bit.. been kind of putting the pieces together. I've heard some kind of bomb parts and maybe a chemical agent." Said Brad Fleming
I don't really know.. There's a lot of men in hazmat suits. some kind of chemical possibly according to some local police officers." Said Chris Pancheri.
Neighbors say their son.. also named Andrew Schneck, a student at A&M was the real reason for the raids. They say he's been to some websites that aroused suspicion. True? Maybe. Maybe not. The FBI couldn't say and by couldn't I mean legally couldn't...
"Because the documents are sealed in this case by a court order we are prohibited from commenting on the nature of the investigation and this particular operation. But I'm here to all ay any concerns and provide safety information to the public." Said Special Agent Shauna Dunlap.
Dunlap says there were no shelter in place orders or evacuation orders in effect.. But the operation took over seven hours because the houses were so large.. and the potential risk so great.. Did they find anything? We don't know.. By later afternoon the raids were over, but a lot of questions remained..
Didn't find what you were looking for?

Thanks to the local community, Thanksgiving will be a bit brighter.
That's because the Lilly Broadcasting drive thru holiday food drive was a huge success.
The community donated a whopping 34,837 pounds of food.
Just more than $33,000 dollars cash.
And 446 frozen turkeys.
Those numbers are all up from last year!
There were a number of locations around the area, Erie, Corry, Warren, Edinboro, Meadville, and more.
At all locations, hundreds of people drove through with cash donations, non-perishable food items, and turkeys.
The Second Harvest Food Bank can turn every one dollar donated, into $17 dollars worth of food.
A big thanks to everybody who donated, and the hundreds of volunteers around the area that lent a helping hand.

The Areopagus or Ares' Rock was a rock northwest of the Acropolis that was used as a court of law for trying homicide cases. The etiological myth says that Ares was tried there for the murder of Poseidon's son Halirrhothios.
"Agraulos ... and Ares had a daughter Alkippe. As Halirrhothios, son of Poseidon and a nymphe named Eurtye, was trying to rape Alkippe, Ares caught him at it and slew him. Poseidon had Ares tried on the Areopagos with the twelve gods presiding. Ares was acquitted."
- Apollodorus, The Library 3.180
In another mythological figure, the people of Mycenae sent Orestes to the Areopagus to stand trial for the murder of his mother, Clytemnestra, murderer of his father, Agamemnon.
In historical times, the powers of the archons, the men who presided at the court, waxed and waned. One of the men credited with creating radical democracy in Athens, Ephialtes, was instrumental in removing much of the power the aristocratic archons held.

Community Marks Girls Abduction
DAYTON, IA - (CBS2/FOX28) - Its a somber day for the small town of Dayton.
Today marks one year since Dezi ughes and Kathlynn Shepard were abducted while walking home from school.
Family and community members gathered to remember Kathlynn.
It was an emotional ceremony for everyone. Students, law enforcement officials, and community members tried to hold back tears.
Kathlynn's parents say they couldn't have gotten through the last year without the community's support.
Michael Klunder was suspected of kidnapping Kathlynn Shepard and Dezi Hughes.
Klunder committed suicide hours after kidnapping the girls.
Just last week, Black Hawk County authorities ruled out Klunder as a potential suspect in the murder of Lyric Cook and Elizabeth Collins.

News: Busta Rhymes Learns Rap Lessons From Diddy, "Puff Said Calm That Sh*t Down" [Video]
Saturday, May 30, 2009 2:00PM
Busta Rhymes recently spoke on how Diddy influenced him to switch his rapping style from the early 1990's to his signature rap flow he uses today.
Recalling a studio session with the hip-hop mogul, Busta said Puff helped him re-create his emcee skills.
"It was a combination of not really the wider audience, it was more directed towards the women," Busta explained in an interview. "Like one day, me, Diddy and Q-Tip were in the studio and I tell people this story on a regular basis, like motherf*cker, Diddy was being a a**hole with me in the studio trying to f*cking pop off joke sh*t. But he said something that stuck with me and Q-Tip was kinda saying the same sh*t to me. And Puff said 'Yo Busta, b*tches don't wanna go rowwl rowwwl like a dungeon dragon with you on every f*cking record. Calm that sh*t down man. Try to spit on a song where you articulate your sh*t clearer and f*cking use your regular voice. What the f*ck is the screaming all the time on the record? B*tches don't find that sh*t sexy.' I was like, 'Yo f*ck you n*gga,' and ultimately, I went home and thought about the sh*t and then I also felt I wasn't gonna just do this sh*t because they told me to do it, I gotta do that sh*t 'cause it feels right to me." (Vlad TV)
The rapper initially entered the hip-hop spotlight with a rough sound.
Inspired by fellow Long Islanders Public Enemy and Eric B. & Rakim, the foursome united as Leaders of the New School and signed a deal with Elektra Records right out of the gate, when Busta was only 17 years old. Much respected in the hip-hop underground for their Afrocentric philosophy and tough rapping styles, Leaders of the New School debuted in 1991 with Future Without a Past... but released only one more album, 1993's T.I.M.E., before breaking up the following year. (All Music)
Despite holding a veteran rap career on various labels including Aftermath, Busta has maintained his focus on retaining "subtantial hip-hop."
"I'm happy, real happy, about a lot of things," Busta said in an interview earlier this year. "I'm in a great situation. New label, new money, new excitement, new sound, new album, just new everything. I just feel like I'm being born again or something...The album sounds like the substantial hip-hop that has been missing from the game for a long time...That traditional boom bap - hard kicks, hard snares, solid bass lines, records that sound real melodic because they're very incredibly structured songs, very lyrical records. It's the well-rounded balance of what a real hip-hop album is supposed to feel like." (Boston Herald)
His latest solo effort landed on the charts last week.
Flipmode leader Busta Rhymes' Back on my Bullsh*t just missed the Top 5 landing at No. 6 on the charts. His eighth solo project debuted with 59,300 copies after seven days on stores shelves. (Sales Wrap)

Indianapolis Mayor Greg Ballard has been pushing the City County Council to sign off on Rebuild Indy 2. The mayor wants to spend $350 million on improving roads, bridges, sidewalks and parks. Eyewitness News has asked for and on Friday received the actual project list. It covers hundreds of projects. While it doesn't provide the estimated cost of each one, it does show how and where the $350 million in Rebuild Indy 2 funds would be spent over the next three years.A rough stretch of Churchman on the city's south side is one of 500 roads and alleys that would be re-surfaced under Rebuild Indy 2, which came as good news to Talia Montesonti."I've lived on this street for 15 years and I've never seen it this bad before," Montesonti said.Her husband Chris Flewelling agreed, "We know a lot of people who ride bikes and it's more of a hazard than a joy to ride bikes around here." Rebuild Indy 2 would also pay for fixing or replacing 38 bridges and culverts. The Central Ave. bridge over Fall Creek would be rebuilt. There are also about 100 streets that would get new or repaired sidewalks and curbs. One is a stretch of Edgewood where Joe Haas lives. "There's no way for kids to walk down here unless they're on the easement," he said. "There are no sidewalks on either side and traffic in the morning and evening is heavy so [having sidewalks] would help out in the neighborhood."The plan calls for improvements to intersections and traffic signals and adding new flashing lights near schools across the city. Several city parks would also see upgrades to playgrounds and pools or spray parks. There would also be money to pay for a dog park planned at 21st and the Monon Trail. Kentucky Avenue between I-465 and Harding is one of eight roads that would get bike lanes. There are also 15 projects targeting the city's greenways.
Marcia Johnson, who was walking along the Monon Trail with her daughter on Friday, said, "I used to be a physical ed teacher at La Porte High School and I'm all for outdoor activity. It's wonderful to see all these people on their bike, walking, enjoying the warm weather."The people we talked to say improving trails and fixing roads sounds great, if the city can afford it.Asked about the $350 million price tag, some gave pause."That's a lot of money but stuff has to be done, what can you do?" said Flewelling.But Montesonti said, "I definitely don't want a tax increase."The mayor has said there won't be any. His plan calls for borrowing $150 million and relying on state and federal grants to cover the rest.Council Democrats aren't ready to sign off.Council Vice President John Barth said while "the needs are there," Democrats want to "make sure we have the money to repay the bonds."Barth said he and Council President Maggie Lewis have met twice with the mayor."We'd like to work together to make it happen," Barth said, but added they're still going over the numbers.Barth wasn't sure when or if the council might vote on Rebuild Indy 2, but Public Works spokesperson Stephanie Wilson said work would get underway quickly once the council signed off.

Future Clears Up Go-Kart Picture-Taking Drama, Plus Talks Being In Love With Ciara
Future loves the kids, but sometimes he has to choose his kids over other people's kids.
Earlier today, we posted a story from a fan who ran into Future and Ciara at a go-karting facility and was disappointed when she saw that Future would not take photos with the kids who approached him. This afternoon, Future called in to Atlanta radio station Hot 107.9 to clear the air while explaining that he was with his kids that day. He said that he understands that he is a celeb and he's learning to live with that, however he would never turn away anyone's kid, it's just that that day, he had to honor a request from his son.
She didn't report that I had all my kids with me. She doesn't know that I dedicate my whole life to music every single day. I haven't been to Atlanta in two to three months, I've been on the west coast. I had a day in Atlanta where I wanted to spend some time with my kids. I'm not in Atlanta right now. I'm in Miami.
So I spent one day in Atlanta. I flew back and it was a Sunday. Before I went out, my son was like, "You can't take no pictures today." He wanted me to be on daddy time that day and not celebrity time, so it was me dedicating that time to my kids that day. I love the kids, I want to take pictures. It's a privilege and an honor to take pictures with your fans, but I wasn't on Future time. It was an agreement that me and my son made before we even walked in the building. She didn't mention in what she said to Necole that my little girl stayed in my arms. Even when we posted up that pic, I had to move her over to the side to take the pic. My little girl won't let me go nowhere without her. Then, I had my baby with me so it's just like for me to put the time [in], I can't do it. Some days, I want to do it but they are looking at me, watching my every move…and every move don't be right sometimes.
I don't know what it was that made [my son] say he didn't want me to take no pictures but I had to honor that because he wouldn't have said that if it wasn't on his mind.
I made sure I reached out because I don't want [anybody] to think that I feel like I'm too big to take pictures. I'm in my hometown. When I'm in Atlanta, I want to walk around, go to food restaurants and eat like I'm at home. Sometimes I'm out with my family, sometimes it's my friends or my kids and you have to respect it. I'm Future now and I'm learning to live with it every day as time goes by but this is one of these situations where I had to call up and to let Atlanta know and to let the person know who wrote that story that I love the kids, I would never turn away kids but it was a situation where I had to pick my kid over her kid.
Necole has always supported since day one so it's nothing towards her. It's like we had to clear the situation up and clear up the air because I don't want nobody to think that way. It's all love, I love the kids and maybe one day, she'll recognize that and see that.
Future also spoke on his love for Ciara being authentic and it being his first time being in this type of love:
[People] are gonna say what they say but at the end of the day you can see it and I know and can tell it's authentic. I've never been in a situation like this before so no girl can say, "He did that with me." I've only did it one time with her, so it's real to me. I'm not straying away from it or running away from it, it's just a time when you have to grow up.
You can listen to the audio over at Hot 107.9 (Ciara hops on the phone towards the end of the interview.)
We will continue to post 'I Met A Celebrity' stories, whether good or bad. I respect that Future took the time to not only clear the air and tell his side of the story, but he also addressed the fan personally. You don't see that often.


text: Motivation/Relationship Problems Team Conflict [3] Resolving Conflicts STEP 1. Develop an Attitude of Resolution Example: Developing an Attitude of Resolution Susan headed up the legal department of a social services organization. I had been working with her organization, and one day she asked me to go to lunch to help her with something. Before leaving her office she called her mother, whom she lived with, and had a short cordial conversation. During the call, I watched Susan's behavior with her mother. She was relaxed, calm, and very loving. Obviously, she and her mother had a special relationship. At the restaurant Susan immediately began telling me about one of the lawyers in her team whose performance had worsened over the previous six months. As his supervisor, she needed to have a coaching session with him, but was sure that this would result in disagreement and possibly conflict. She was nervous about the impending discussion. As she spoke, I again observed Susan's behavior. Her body tightened, her voice was tense, her face expressed anger, and her gestures were demanding. It was clear from her "nonverbal" signals that she was angry and frustrated with this lawyer, and that, in her present state of mind, her coaching session with him was headed for disaster. This all happened within a few seconds of sitting down at the restaurant. I told Susan that we had plenty of time to discuss this, and asked her to tell me about her mother. Immediately her entire state of mind changed from one of anger to one of love, and her nonverbal signals changed too. Her body relaxed, the tension went out of her face, she smiled, and her tone of voice was more gentle and loving. At that moment, I stopped her. I asked her to feel the difference between her present state and the one of just a few seconds earlier. I then suggested that if she could work on herself prior to the coaching session and attempt to change her state of mind about this lawyer, that the chance of having a meaningful discussion without conflict would be significantly higher. People read our nonverbal signals much faster than they hear our voices. So it is critically important in conflict resolution that we first work on ourselves to release some of the anger, hurt, frustration, and hostility. I told Susan to think of some of the good work the lawyer had done previously...just find something to like about him. I also asked her to consider that perhaps he is having other problems in his life that may be carrying over to his work. Most people do not want to perform poorly, so maybe something was affecting his work. Finally, I told her that if she could develop a sense of "love" for this lawyer, her entire demeanor in the coaching session would be more conducive to resolution. He would pick up her signals as helpful rather than criticizing and, most likely, respond accordingly. Susan followed these suggestions, worked on herself, and told me later that the coaching session went very well. Preparing yourself will not always create the kind of success Susan had, but it begins to stack the odds in your favor of creating the right environment...one of resolution. Recommended Program: Experience Taking Flight with DISC, our new DISC Training Program, based the book Taking Flight!: Master the Four Behavioral Styles to Transform your Career, Your Relationships…Your Life, a business fable that features a diverse group of birds confronted with a race against time to save their homes from impending disaster.

Individual Mandate Exemptions Finalized
The final rule on exemptions from the individual shared responsibility payment penalty mandated by the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act identifies nine categories. Less than 2% of Americans are expected to qualify for exemption, the Congressional Budget Office estimates.
The Department of Health & Human Services released on Wednesday its final rule [PDF] detailing who is eligible for receive exemptions from the individual shared responsibility payment penalty required as part of the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act's individual mandate.
The penalty is a flash point among some interest groups and members of Congress who object to Americans being subjected to the play or pay provision of PPACA. Several bills are expected to be introduced in Congress to remove the penalty entirely.
In a fact sheet released with the rule, HHS contends that the rule "will ease implementation and help to ensure that the shared responsibility payment obligation applies only to the limited group of taxpayers who have ready access to affordable coverage but choose to spend a substantial period of time uninsured."
Less than 2% of Americans are expected to owe a shared responsibility payment, the Congressional Budget Office estimates.

Last year Charleroi qualified in Belgium, this year Cantu qualifies in Italy which tells us what?!
After three nights of games in the Paladesio Arena in Desio, Italy, the Euroleague Qualifier ended in the host squad, Mapooro Cantu, putting a beating on their French opponents, Le Mans Sarthe Basket, 80-66. The results send Cantu to Group A of the Euroleague and Le Mans to the EuroCup.
Cantu – Le Mans 80-66
Cantu jumped out to an early lead building a double-digit margin in the first quarter, 23-12. Cantu used an 11-0 run in the second quarter to extend their lead at halftime to 44-28.
The hosts took the lead to 18, then allowed Le Mans to run off eight straight points and cut the gap to 10. The Cantu boys dropped two three-pointers to extend back to 16. That margin blew up to 21 after Cantu finished an 11-0 streak to close out the quarter, 65-44.
That scoring run went to 15 by the time Le Mans hit the bottom of the net again. Charles Kahudi gave the vistors something to cheer about with a rare four-point play when he got fouled after releasing and nailing a three-pointer. The Le Mans squad fought to the end, pulling with 14, but they couldn't get any closer.
They key difference in this one was Le Mans shooting 8.3% from behind the arc (1 for 8), while Cantu 40% (8 for 20). They also had a rough time at the charity stripe, shooting 17 for 29 (58.6%).
Maarten Leunen paced Cantu's scorers with 15 points, Pietro Aradoir added 12, Marco Cusin dropped in 11 and Manuchar Markoshvili added 10. Joao Paulo Batista lead Le Mans with 15 points, while Cuthbert Victor tallied 11 shooting 4 for 5 from the field and 3 for 4 from the line.

Sustainable Communities
In January 2011, Living Cities hosted the Sustainable Communities Boot Camp in collaboration with the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development and the Ash Center for Democratic Governance and Innovation at Harvard University. Teams of government, nonprofit and business leaders from thirteen metropolitan regions across the country participated; these regions were among 45 that HUD awarded a total of $98 million through its Sustainable Communities Regional Planning Grant Program.
The boot camp was designed to build the capacity of participants to:
- Use economic strategy to drive sustainability and equity;
- Harness capital to realize the regional vision;
- Ensure meaningful and inclusive long-term participation; and
- Ground efforts in real-time data to advance desired outcomes.
Living Cities engaged the Institute for Sustainable Communities, a Vermont-based nonprofit that specializes in building capacity for sustainable development at the community scale, to lead the design and management of this intensive peer-learning workshop.

A decent club if you're on a tight budget.
Felt a little light and didn't feel quite as well-balanced as others.
This wedge felt a little light and didn't feel quite as well-balanced as others, but boy, did it spin the golf ball! If you remember the head is not forged and the face and grooves are not milled, it was amazing how this wedge ripped the ball back (only being outspun by the Nike). Not a pretty head, but when you're hitting a ball this high and with so much spin, it's got to stop! A decent club if you're on a tight budget.
Ball control around the greens have never been easier with these classic muscle-back, high performance wedges.

Among Charlie Weis' first words in Kansas City were up at training camp before the 2010 season when someone asked him what his role was in Kansas City: "The first thing I wanted to do was help fix the quarterback."
You don't forget quotes like that. We talked about it all season long.
Brian Daboll has a quote that I hope others will quickly forget. The Chiefs offensive coordinator spoke to reporters on Thursday and the talk turned to Matt Cassel.
A few highlights below...
"He is extremely competitive," Daboll said. "He works very, very hard, and he's been a winner. He's been a winner."
This trend continues with the Chiefs and the way they praise Cassel. Anyone ever notice the Chiefs usually praise Cassel's intangibles, or something generic like he's a winner? And not, say, his tangibles? It's the same with ugly girls. The description "great personality" before any date should concern you because, if the girl was good looking, that's what you'd say.
We don't see descriptions like this very often: "He throws a terrific 15-yard hitch route!" "I love the way he sells the pump fake." "Matt's killer on the shallow crossing route!" We rarely hear things like that and, frankly, that's concerning. The Chiefs go out of their way to defend Cassel more than any other player (by a longshot) and yet even in their defense they don't tell us what Cassel actually does really well.
Maybe I'm just being picky (and maybe a few commenters will point that out).
Daboll continues:
"He's had two 10-plus win seasons. I did a study just this offseason about 10-plus win quarterbacks, which is what you're defined by, obviously. There's been nine of them in the last four years that have had two or more 10-plus win seasons in the regular season, and Matt is one of them. The other ones being (Tom) Brady, (Drew) Brees, (Aaron) Rodgers, Peyton Manning, Ben Roethlisberger, Eli (Manning), (Joe) Flacco, (Matt) Ryan, so he's been a winner. He works his tail off in the classroom. I think he's done a good job in these OTAs, and I'm looking forward to working with him."
Line those quarterbacks up and we'll play "One of these things is not like the others."
The Chiefs spin it one way but it can just as easily be spun the other way -- Cassel's 28-26 as a starter. That, to me, tells the story more realistically.
The Chiefs cherry-picked which years they like to talk about with Cassel so I'll do the same.
Which quarterback in that group has, in his last 11 games, completed 56 percent of his passes, averaging less than six yards per attempt and thrown 10 touchdowns to 16 turnovers? Yeah, that's the Chiefs QB. And lately -- this is a what-have-you-done-for-me-lately league -- that's a more accurate reflection of who Cassel is as a quarterback.
Cassel already won 10 games as the Chiefs quarterback. We know he can do it and, if you've been reading this site for a while, you know I badly want him to do it. I just want to look at this thing realistically though.

On the morning of December 20, 2009, actress Brittany Murphy was found dead in the LA home that she shared with husband Simon Monjack. She was only 32 years old at the time. You might recognize her from movies such as Clueless, 8 Mile, and Little Black Book.
TMZ broke the sad news and everyone in the Hollywood community was left stunned. The first question that comes to mind is how exactly did Brittany die?
It appears that she went into full cardiac arrest early in the morning and was taken to Cedars-Sinai Medical Center. Sadly, doctors pronounced her dead on arrival. What would cause a seemingly healthy young woman to go into full cardiac arrest?
Brittany was found to have had elevated levels of Vicodin and drugs from over-the-counter cold medicine in her system, but no illegal substances. Her death was ruled to be a result of pneumonia, an iron deficiency and multiple drug intoxication.

The Mentari Project is planning to have a trip to Aquaria for the kids and inviting everyone to come and join in. We plan to have the trip on the 14th of November 2009 (Saturday) since all of the kid's exams will be finished and before their school holidays starts. Usually the kids will be going of to their respective Kampungs during their holidays.
For those who are unfamiliar to Aquaria, it is a world class next-generation commercial
aquarium situated in KLCC Convention Center (as said in the brochure). It houses many aquatic and land-bound creatures, it is highly interactive and educational, and also conducts feeding sessions where the kids will get to see them feed the sharks and other animals.
Basic details:
The tickets will be paid for by us and all we need are volunteers to guide and keep the kids safe during the trip. Tentatively, we will bring about 30 kids to the trip therefore would need at least 8-10 volunteers (the more the merrier). The food will be taken care of by Dayana from CIMB and we will sort the transportation for the kids. We will use the buddy system and have 2 volunteers for a each group of 4-6 kids. We will also prepare a question paper for each kid to solve based on what they will see and learn in Aquaria.
We will like have the final tally of the number of participants by the middle of next week. Anyone who are free and would like to join us just confirm through email email@example.com or call me at 017-6362047 (Yasir). Hope to hear from all of you soon.
Warm regards,

You cannot argue against experience
The article "Consumer group enters the wind farm battle" in the Kokomo Tribune was an interesting read — interesting, but misleading.
The so-called Citizens Action Coalition (CAC), which you list as a "state consumer rights organization," is nothing more than a left-wing liberal tree-hugging group whose goal is to push its own agenda, regardless of facts. (Note: I have no problem with environmentalists, as I love our environment as well, but not when it infringes on people's rights, and especially when deception is used).
Kerwin Olson, executive director of CAC, plays the accuse-and-mislead game by saying things like "another unknown is how the anti-wind organizations are being funded" and "we would question the motives of those opposed to wind energy." Nothing like planting doubt into the motives of people.
The local wind opponents have been very open and have offered to share where the money comes from: local people, farmers, landowners, teachers, pastors, etc., who are opposed to the raping of our county! I've been to the CAC website. Much of the funding sources it lists are groups like the Sierra Club, liberal trusts and the like.
Olson says any property value decrease claims are simply not true, but then follows it with admitting, "It's too early to know of the impact in Indiana". He does admit "… there could be some validity to health claims". He easily dismissed most all claims, studies and evidence that has been presented as "off-the-wall, unsubstantiated statements", neglecting to ever look into the actual issues or the peer-reviewed studies and experts behind them.
It's easy to accuse someone as having an agenda and making things up, but let's look at the facts! If there are false facts being presented, point to it, each one, and show the evidence that "proves" the statement is wrong! I don't think that can be done.

Asian investment house Bright Ruby is reportedly eying an office tower purchase in Sydney's central business district.
It has approached the owners of 420 George Street, seeking to acquire the $500 million office component of the premium development.
The Australian Financial Review says the owners of the complex, Fortius Funds Management (75%) andLend Lease's APPF investment unit (25%) have not formally offered 31-level tower to the market.
Comprising 37,733 square metres of A Grade office space, it tenants include State Street and AECOM.
It was Sydney CBD's first five-star Green Star Design v2 office building.
Last year, the co-owners appeared to be ready to bring 420 George Street and MidCity shopping centre to market in one line, which could have reaped them $700 million, the AFR reported.
The Singapore-domiciled Bright Ruby has been chasing major Sydney office towers showing interest in the half share of the MLC Centre that GPT Group offered to the market in 2011.
Bright Ruby's initial foray was the $62.5 million purchase of 10 Barrack Street in the Sydney from BlackRock.

As Tyler Shreve works to become the starting quarterback at Riverside City College, he says he is totally focused and committed to the sport.
That hasn't always been the case for the talented two-sport star, who was drafted to play professional baseball before eventually going to the University of Utah with the intent of playing both football and baseball. When that didn't work out, Shreve came to RCC last year and made another attempt at two-sport stardom. He struggled on the football field and played in just one game during the baseball season.
What does that mean for 2013-2014?
"I think baseball's pretty much done," Shreve said. "That was my last hurrah and it didn't happen … it was hard at first because I always wanted to be a baseball player since I was little."
Shreve is not closing the door completely. When asked if he'd change his mind if baseball coach Dennis Rogers came to him and said they'd work on getting him back in baseball shape and ready for next year's draft, Shreve smiled and said he wasn't sure.
"My big thing now is getting my schooling done and getting my degree," he said.

Back at the NFL Draft, Chad Ochocinco asked NFLPA executive director DeMaurice Smith on a scale of 1-10 what the chances of a lockout were. At the time, he said it was a 14.
A month later and not much has changed. Smith told SI.com in a recent interview that the likelihood of a lockout was again a 14 on a 1-10 scale.
Throughout the article he details the NFLPA's plans to prepare for a lockout.
We've asked players to save 25 percent of their salary last year, 25 percent of their salary this year.
He says the players should never feel they need to make decisions based on money because they're making exponentially more than the average American.
On the flip side, he said the owners are preparing for and willing to lockout the players.
We're trying to get a deal done. If you remember, right before the uncapped year, we said, look, we'll take a deal that's very similar to the deal we have now, let's just extend it. And the owners said no. I know that they've renegotiated every assistant coach's contract to envision a lockout, and I know their lead negotiator now is a guy named Bob Batterman, who locked out hockey for a year. They also negotiated every one of the television contracts, FOX, NBC, CBS and DirecTV with this in mind.
If public perception is anything, Smith is doing his darnedest to make sure the average football fan knows the players want a deal and the owners don't.

Ted Williams, the Boston Red Sox revered and sometimes reviled "Splendid Splinter" and baseball's last .400 hitter, has died at age 83.
Williams, who suffered a series of strokes and congestive heart failure in recent years, was taken Friday to Citrus County Memorial Hospital "where he was pronounced deceased," said sheriff's department spokesman Lt. Joe Eckstein.
He underwent open-heart surgery in January 2001 and had a pacemaker inserted in November 2000.
The Hall of Famer always wanted to be known as the greatest hitter ever, and his stats backed up the claim.
A two-time MVP who twice won the Triple Crown, Williams hit .344 lifetime with 521 home runs — despite twice interrupting his career to serve as a Marine Corps pilot in World War II and the Korean War.
He had 145 RBIs as a Red Sox rookie in 1939 and closed out his career — fittingly — by hitting a home run at Fenway Park in his final major league at-bat in 1960.
Williams' greatest achievement came in 1941 when he batted .406, getting six hits in a doubleheader on the final day of the season.
Williams contended his eyesight was so keen he could pick up individual stitches on a pitched ball and could see the exact moment his bat connected with it.
He also asserted he could smell the burning wood of his bat when he fouled a ball straight back, just missing solid contact.
Highlights of Ted Williams' Career
Career record as manager: 273 victories and 364 losses, a .429 mark.
