PROFIT Magazine and Rogers Communications would like to thank all the innovative companies that submitted entries to the fourth annual Innovations@Work Awards.
Cavet Technologies Inc.
President & CEO: Albert Behr
With electricity prices soaring, commercial space operators are hungry for ways to bring costs down. Enter LumiSmart. The shoebox-sized device, which attaches to a building's circuit-breaker panels, reduces the energy used by flourescent light bulbs. "We can save you 30% to 40% on an escalating fixed cost with a device we can install in 30 minutes and that costs just $2,000," says Albert Behr, president and CEO of Cavet Technologies Inc., LumiSmart's Toronto-based manufacturer.
Patented in 1995 by inventor Vito Rinaldi, LumiSmart spent more than a decade in limbo until Behr found it in 2007.
Cavet has sold several hundred of its "intelligent lighting control" systems since launching them in January. It expects to sell tens of thousands more in 2012, yielding revenue of at least $50 million.
Cavet is also developing devices for non-fluorescent bulbs. And it's working hard to crack markets such as California and Europe, where electricity prices are high.

President & CEO: Kevin Callahan
Even the most innovative products won't sell if they're marketed to the wrong customer. Kevin Callahan learned that first-hand when stove manufacturers showed little interest in his patented cooking-fire-prevention system called Safe-T-element.
Rather than change his product, Callahan changed targets. In 2006, through his Mississauga, Ont-based company Pioneering Technology Corp., he began marketing the system to public housing authorities, leveraging an endorsement from a U.S. fire chiefs association. They loved it. By 2010, sales had reached $2.9 million.
Safe-T-element is a set of cast-iron plates that are installed over electric burners and connected to a unit inside the stove. The system regulates the heat to each burner, shutting off power if the temperature gets too hot.
Customers now include the U.S. military, 65 campuses and 250 housing authorities across North America, Japan, Britain, Australia and New Zealand. It's safe to say the product is catching on like wildfire.

President & CEO: Peter Uhl
Peter Uhl was overseeing a home-building project in 2005 when he came up with his big idea: the Ultimate Building Block (UBB), an insulated concrete form that creates building blocks with tongue-and-groove design, making them easy to slide together to form a wall. The blocks cut construction time by up to two thirds, and are cheaper than most forms of wood construction and common concrete construction.
Today, Uhl is close to taking his idea to market through UBB Corp., the Mississauga, Ont.-based firm he started in 2009. He has assembled an advisory board who will help him secure capital and fill gaps in his own expertise.
Uhl has shown his prototypes to carpenters, architects, builders and developers. The feedback has been good, he says, with builders "enthusiastic" about the potential savings of time and money.
Although UBB Corp. is still pre-revenue, Uhl says a conservative projection of his company's sales is $20 million by 2013.

BISMARCK, North Dakota — Daily News, Wahpeton, Nov. 24, 2014
Commit to shopping locally for Christmas
The Thanksgiving holiday signals families gathered around the table and for some, another "holiday" that has its own interpretation, Black Friday.
The day after Thanksgiving is the first critical day of shopping for the Christmas holidays. Retailers offer deep discounts hoping to entice shoppers into their stores during those early-morning hours. For many area retailers, the Christmas shopping season can make or break their year. It is so important to their bottom line, that many stores have had their Christmas gift ideas on display since before Halloween.
The choice of where to shop is up to the consumer, but area retailers try to entice local shoppers into visiting their stores and remind customers of their importance in the community through Small Business Saturday. When America's small businesses do well, the country does well. These same business owners are the ones people turn to throughout the year for fundraisers, benefits, sponsorships and more. The men and women who make up our main street business climate are committed to their community through leadership positions and tax dollars.
According to the Small Business Administration, on the heels of Black Friday, shopping small is a concrete way to support small businesses - the same businesses that generate two of every three net new jobs and deliver essential goods and services to America's communities 365 days a year. Last year, Small Business Saturday had a major impact. Consumers who were aware of it spent an estimated $5.7 billion with independent merchants.
Richland and Wilkin business owners remind shoppers to save gas by shopping locally. Visit the stores that provide exceptional customer service, lower prices and great gift ideas without the commute and long lines. It is your choice, yes, but choose local.
The Williston Herald, Williston, Nov. 24, 2014
Informed citizenry at its best
As construction season heads toward an end, the sight of a cement mixer near downtown Williston was a welcome sight this week.
After about a month of angst and anxiety about the thought of the city condemning the building, and the reality of tenants falling on wooden ramps, Lutheran Social Service Legacy Living at Central Place is finally getting sidewalks installed.
The process will likely take a few weeks, due to conditioning needed for the cold weather, but we say better late than never, and hope a lesson was learned.
In our pages we have written too many times about the struggles seniors have had finding affordable housing. The stories of Williston's longtime residents being forced to move, because of nothing more than market values and greed, is one told too often.
Legacy Living at Central Place has been called the "crown jewel" of affordable senior housing in Williston, and indeed it is. It stands as a living metaphor for the city — resurrected and reinvented for the benefit of the people.
That's why it was difficult for tenants, residents and all of Williston to drive by the old junior high and see an eyesore in front of a structure that meant so much to the community and its efforts.
We want to applaud the tenants of Legacy Living at Central Place for speaking out and creating a positive change in their community and city. Tenants used the system the way it was meant to be used: Through the newspaper, through speaking at city meetings and through asking for change from LSS.
Their actions are the real reason sidewalks are currently being poured outside their building, just in time for the onset of winter.
The city, LSS and other agencies can have their share of the credit, as deserved, for negotiating and finding contractors and funds to finish the job, but it took informed citizenry and courage from the tenants to speak out against what they felt wasn't right.
And the result was a public-private partnership that corrected a major wrong.
Legacy Living at Central Place is an essential piece to the housing puzzle. One that will house seniors who don't have many other options in Williston.
We await the completion of the sidewalks and parking lots, and any other small issues along the way.
Because when it's done, it will sure be nice to see the city's crown jewel shining once again.
The Bismarck Tribune, Bismarck, Nov. 21, 2014
Flaring percentages going right direction
The oil industry often finds itself under fire, scrutinized for a variety of reasons. At times criticism leveled at it can be fair, but in other instances it can be an industry unfairly judged. It's a long-standing cultural phenomenon, generated in part from concern over fossil fuel use and related carbon emissions, as well the perception that exists that oil companies in effect, are basically too profitable in the eyes of the public.
Essentially, oil exploration and production is a high-risk, high-reward scenario. It's not often that you read about operators that fail to make the grade from a profitability standpoint; they quietly exit the picture with little fanfare, but they do exist. The reality is that oil production takes considerable financial resources to accomplish, with no assurance of success.
When things go wrong — a major oil spill or saltwater breach — it makes headlines. When things go right, comparable news coverage doesn't always exist.
In September, preliminary numbers indicate that North Dakota oil production rose by 52,000 barrels over August levels, up from 1,132,241 to 1,184,635 barrels per day. Despite an impressive increase in oil production, flaring levels dropped from 27 percent to 24 percent over the same time period.
The decline in natural gas flaring, a byproduct of oil production, was well below the benchmark of 26 percent required by state regulation by Oct. 1. Flaring levels regulation from a percentage standpoint and now in place were essentially recommended by the industry itself, before being presented to the North Dakota Industrial Commission.
In the fall of 2013, led by the North Dakota Petroleum Council, the Flaring Task Force was developed. Composed of oil industry leaders and officials, it goal has been to decrease flaring levels in North Dakota through the capture of natural gas at the wellhead, before moving it to processing facilities.
There have been numerous challenges to overcome along the way in order to meet benchmarks set by the Industrial Commission for flaring, including time needed to build necessary gas-capture pipeline infrastructure, obtaining easements and dealing with weather constraints. It hasn't been an easy equation to deal with.
The oil industry should be commended for its efforts to date, and urged to continue to meet future objectives that further reduce flaring levels on both a percentage and volume basis in the Bakken. It's good from an environmental standpoint, and adds additional value to oil-related production activity taking place in the Williston Basin.

Minot rides to the rescue
Minoters have just provided two excellent examples of what makes this the Magic City.
Two worthy causes, one close to the hearts of older residents and one straight from the hearts of our high school students, witnessed their goals being met and then topped through the generosity of many.
The first project, not your typical canned food drive, was put into motion by some Central Campus students after one of their own, Alex Lutes, died this fall in a hunting accident. Lutes was president of the Key Club, which puts on an annual food drive. To honor Lutes, the Key Club members went ahead with the drive, in his honor, and on Monday they packed up more than 8,500 canned goods and other food items gathered by Alex's Army.
And an army it was: Students and parents at Central Campus and at other schools in the district all brought in food for the drive. People who attended Lutes funeral had been encouraged to participate in the food drive, and other schools and businesses in the community also helped.
These kids made us proud.
Also benefiting from the kindness of area residents was Wreaths Across America, which is being held for the first time in Minot this year.
The inaugural program not only has reached its goal of sponsored wreaths but surpassed it, said Richard Reuer, Minot American Legion Wreaths Across America event coordinator.
Only last Friday the program was still short 59 sponsorships to meet the programs goal of 254 wreath sponsors. That would make it possible to place wreaths on each of the 235 headstones of graves in Section 12, the Old Veterans section, in Rosehill Memorial Park, and 19 wreaths at the Medal of Honor memorial in Roosevelt Park.
But by Monday the need had been met and then some.
We did it. We now have 276 sponsored wreaths and 56 personal wreaths, totaling 332 wreaths, Reuer reported Monday.
The wreaths ceremonial program will be held at 11 a.m. Saturday, Dec. 13, at Section 12 in Rosehill Memorial Park. After the program, the wreaths will be placed by their sponsors or anyone wishing to assist. It will be a sight to behold and a day we will not soon forget.

Pinterest – How it affects SEO
- Posted On 20th February 2012
- ·By Anna Francis
- ·In Search Engine Optimisation, Social Media Marketing
- ·With 8 Comments
What is Pinterest?
It's been getting a lot of hype recently in the Social Media world, and not only from those who like to be creative and love photography and pictures, but also for the SEO benefits that come with it. At the moment you have to either be invited to join Pinterest from a friend who already has an account, or you need to apply to join the waiting list (from general consensus this waiting list does not usually last longer than a week, so don't be put off by this as you will be pinning before you know it.) Once registered you begin creating "boards" around a subject matter that interests you or is related to your brand. Pictures and photos can be uploaded from your computer onto your boards or they can be pinned from pages off the Internet using the very handy "pin it" button that can be installed onto your browser. Once you have created your boards you can search around for friends and "follow" them and their boards or you can simply search for other people and boards that interest you.
Pinterest for Link Building
The great thing about the pictures that you pin onto your boards is that each picture can link back to the URL where more information can be found about it (great if this is a product of yours). This link is a follow link and therefore passes page rank from Pinterest to the website it is linking to. This is fantastic for SEO reasons as it is coming from an authoritative website. However ensure you use this back-linking process with caution, you don't want to start spamming Pinterest with hundreds of links back to your products or services, because you may get ignored.
Re-pinning on Pinterest
If while browsing Pinterest you happen to stumble upon a picture you love or a product you wish to share on one of your boards, you simply re-pin it. This demonstrates a similar effect of retweeting on Twitter. Re-pinning can be hugely beneficial for your link building if others start re-pinning your links and content to their own boards and sharing them with their followers.
Promotion on Pinterest
There are a huge variety of ways to promote your brand online these days, but using Pinterest you can push the boundaries and interact in even more ways with your customers. You could create a Testimonial board allowing customers to review your products/services or even pin new suggestions they would like on one of your boards. You can promote a new service or product by giving it a whole board to itself, or similarly pin details of an event.
You can already "like" and comment on photos which may also have SEO benefits as well as tie your Pinterest account in with your Facebook. So far 59% of pinners are women between the ages 25-40 and these women make up 58% of Pinterest's unique visitors.
Pinterest is still in its youth and I'm sure there will be a lot more ways in which it can benefit your brand to be discovered. But for now, every little helps when it comes to SEO.

Do you think the type of business that you are trying to promote matters? Or is Pinterest good for all?
JamesC Spain
I've used pinterest to optimize my site and the result was amazing my site was jumped from #234 to #9 in few weeks time.
The trick is we must got our website pinned and repinned by many people this is the hardest part. Most of pinterest users won't doing repin when they aren't like what we pinned.
I do simple thing to outsource it on fiverr and got my site pinned by more than 70 people, I don't know how can he did it just search by typing pinterest on fiverr and you will find it.
As I know currently pinterest is best for SEO for these reason:
1. Once our website pinned it has 3 backlinks counts
2. Google interest in social media signal so it will not tagged as links farm
3. Currently pinterest links are dofollow even the image
4. Also support anchor text, it's perfect for placing our keywords
Anna Francis
I don't think it matters what business you are trying to promote matters but i do think results will be better for those with visually appealing products or services. But as James says there are so many ways to use Pinterest for SEO purposes that the end results should always be beneficial to a business.
http://countymotorworks.co.uk/ Josh
I agree that Pinterest can work for just about any business. There's not much that can't be given an interesting visual spin in some way! One site I work on is photography based – which is an absolute gift! Another is cars, which is less of an open goal but can still work brilliantly with Pinterest.

How do I add anchor tags in pinterest pins?
Anna Francis
You need to include any anchor text in your description of the pin
http://This1That1Whatever.com/ David
I read that Pinterest links are now "no-follow". Therefore, how much SEO credit does one get from Pinterest backlinks? I do understand the use of Pinterest will attract user traffic.
Anna Francis
Hi David,
Yes interest backlinks are no follow but i think the source urls for pin descriptions are do follow. Also Pinterest content is crawled and indexed by Google so it's a great opportunity to organize pins around specific important keywords to help your SEO rankings. It is also a great place to generate social signals using the content you put on your Pinterest account – these social signals we already know are taken into consideration by Google.

WASHINGTON (AP) -- If worry about skin cancer doesn't make you slather on sunscreen, maybe vanity will: New research provides some of the strongest evidence to date that near-daily sunscreen use can slow the aging of your skin.
Ultraviolet rays that spur wrinkles and other signs of aging can quietly build up damage pretty much anytime you're in the sun -- a lunchtime stroll, school recess, walking the dog -- and they even penetrate car windows.
Researchers in sunny Australia used a unique study to measure whether sunscreens really help amid that onslaught. Participants had casts made of the top of their hands to measure fine lines and wrinkles that signal sun-caused aging.
The research found that even if you're already middle-aged, it's not too late to start rubbing some sunscreen on -- and not just at the beach or pool. The study of 900 people under 55 compared those randomly assigned to use sunscreen daily to those who used it when they deemed it necessary.
Daily sunscreen use was tough -- participants did cheat a little. But after 4

ISRAEL, September 20 — America's President Barack Obama has done irreparable damage to a nation once revered by all. Obama is no leader, he is a destroyer.
Not only has Obama devastated America's reputation in the international arena, capping off a horrendously incompetent foreign policy by playing cat and mouse with Syria while simultaneously hammering Israel despite it being the only country in the region not exterminating its citizens, but he has decided the answer to all his problems lie in the hands of Vladimir Putin's Russia.
SEE RELATED: Ex-KGB officer talks Nobel Peace Prize winner out of launching war
This is the same Russia that recently declared a ban on any speech having to do with homosexuals. Whether one is prone to accept homosexuality or not is irrelevant. The Russia decree is an egregious violation of freedom of speech and the ultimate manifestation of an Orwellian "Big Brother." This is the same Russia that arrested a female punk rock band on charges of "hooliganism motivated by religious hatred" for performing a punk prayer on the altar of Moscow's Christ the Savior Cathedral in February of 2012.
Putin is no leader, he is a vicious megalomaniac.
Obama has also consistently sought approval from the United Nations and the European Union before acting in the international arena. The United Nations has been, and continues to be, the most one-sided and hypocritical NGO in world history. The U.N. has done nothing but serve as an impediment to the "good guys" such as America and Israel.
Although he retracted his statement in a cowardly gesture that should surprise no one, U.N. Secretary General Ban Ki-moon admitted that there was a biased attitude towards the Israeli people and Israeli government in the U.N., stressing that it was "an unfortunate situation." Ki-moon and the U.N. are not leaders; they are a pathetic shell of ineffective and lopsided bureaucracy.
SEE RELATED: TIME puts Vladimir Putin on its front cover everywhere but America
The European Union, another of Obama's overlords, has seen racism and anti-Semitism rise to all-time highs in Europe and have turned a blind eye. Instead of cracking down on the radical Islamization of Europe, the EU has decided to enact a ban on all products made in Judea and Samaria, or as they call them, "the settlements." What this means is that any Israeli entity that wishes to apply for a "grant, prize or financial instrument" from the European Union must first submit a declaration stating that it has no direct or indirect links with the West Bank, the Golan Heights, east Jerusalem and the Gaza Strip, according to the EU's new directives.
EU Foreign Policy Chief Cathrine Ashton has besmirched Israel every chance she gets, yet when a Jewish teacher and his 3-year-old and 6-year-old son are gunned down in cold blood in Toulouse, France, all Baroness Ashton can do is compare them to the children in Gaza who she claims Israel is oppressing. Ashton and the EU do not lead; they make excuses and hide their bias behind a shield of 'human rights' concerns that only travel in one direction.
The esteemed American president has also vouched for Palestinian Authority President Mahmoud Abbas. Obama and Secretary of State John Kerry have stated that Abbas is Israel's best chance for peace. Obama is always careful not to upset Abbas whenever operating in the Middle East to ensure he hangs on to power Hamas is trying furiously to wrest from his hands.
To Israel, and to America too if Obama had even the slightest understanding of the region's history, there is no difference between Hamas and Abbas. The PA is the PLO is Hamas. All of these organizations refuse to recognize the existence of the Jewish state and all advocate and celebrate the murdering of innocent Jewish civilians. Abbas even admitted to sending Jihadists to kill Israelis on PA television. This is the great peace maker the world must trust in? Abbas is not a leader, he is a mass murderer.
Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has recently truckled to every demand Obama and Abbas have made of him. He has released prisoners with innocent blood on their hands and intends to release even more killers despite not even a single act of good faith on the PA's part and the almost certain knowledge nothing is forthcoming. In fact, instead of stopping this perilous path, his coalition members felt it necessary to send him a letter on Sunday imploring him not to consider ceding land to the PA. Netanyahu is not leading, he is following.
The most terrifying reality is that the people and organizations mentioned above are supposed to be the cream of the crop. These are the leaders of the free world! This is all without mention of the world's most ruthless dictators, such as Bashar Assad, Ayatollah Kohemeni and Kim Jong-Un.
Traditionally, as the new Jewish year begins, the cycle for the weekly Torah portion ends.
Perhaps there is some message behind the timing of the Torah's swan song. The final chapter of the Jewish Bible, "Vzot HaBeracha" or "And This is the Blessing," is the farewell sanctification Moses gives to the Jewish people before he dies.
Conceivably, the message of Moses's blessing is not in what was said but a reflection of the man who said it. In one of the last verses the Torah declares "And there was no other prophet who arose in Israel like Moses." Moses was the greatest leader this world has ever seen, and with his passing, not just Joshua, but every person on the face of the earth for the rest of time is aware that he left impossible shoes to fill.
Maybe that is why no one is trying.
The world could certainly use a Moses right now but they would surely settle for a competent and rational knockoff. Heck, considering the state of the world today, maybe the Tu Pac people could just whip up a Moses hologram.
Where have all the leaders gone?
In a world full of Pharaohs can a Moses arise and save the people?
The current batch of world leaders shows no signs of taking up the mantel and the world is in its deteriorating state because of it.

A familiar sight to anyone who's taken in an Americana Project performance, this guitar was from one of the first fundraisers to help the high school class and now takes the stage along with students, as it did at last week's concert. The class works on performing, writing and recording original music, as well as studying the connection between American Roots music and history and culture.

The Museum of Biblical Art's first-ever gala award dinner raised $110,000 last Monday night, directly benefiting the Museum's exhibitions and programs and making the evening a resounding success. The event was held May 2nd, in the American Bible Society building where MOBIA founding trustee William F. Baker was celebrated with the Museum's first Visionary Award. Honorary co-chair Bill Moyers gave a stirring speech honoring Bill Baker's many accomplishments in public broadcasting, business and education, and as a community leader and family man. Metropolitan Museum of Art Director Emeritus and gala co-chair Philippe de Montebello was also on hand to show his support and convey his thoughts on Bill Baker's numerous contributions to New York City's cultural landscape.
MOBIA Board Chair and gala host Roberta Green Ahmanson presided over the affair attended by approximately 200 guests, including Councilwoman Gale Brewer; Judith Moyers; His Eminence Archbishop Dimitrios, Primate of the Greek Orthodox Church in America; artist and IAM founder Makoto Fujimura; and Most Reverend Octavio Cisneros. MOBIA employed a special decorative technique to adorn the 20 round dining tables in the brightly lit hall—original artwork on loan from artists and friends with a special connection to the Museum, including miniature sculptures, paintings, and mixed-media pieces. Mrs. Ahmanson presented Bill Baker with the MOBIA Visionary Award—a unique, hand-made book created by New York City artist Dean Ebben—and an auction of donated artwork raised $17,000. The evening ended with guests receiving commemorative gifts bags that included a catalog from MOBIA exhibitions, current and past.
The Museum of Biblical Art extends a sincere "thank you" to the American Bible Society, the Board of Trustees, Schneider's Selections, Juilliard musicians Aleisha and Amanda Verner, Martello Media, the gala committee, MOBIA staff, friends, volunteers, and business partners for their generous support.

mamaAfrica's first rafiki letter
Dear Rafiki,
I have been envious of all those of you who have found rafikis in Kenya. Finally I have received my first rafiki letter which also happens to be the first letter of gratitude from the women in the Project.
I am sharing rafiki with a number of you. Her name is Damaris Munini. Reading this letter brought me tears of joy. Because a letter of this magnitude is rare to come by. Please allow me to share the contents of Mama Damaris letter to me as a bit part of it is written in Swahili. You can also read along with me the scanned copy that I post hereby. Along side this translation I have my words/exclamations in BRACKETS.
Mama Damaris starts by addressing me Director- I am humbled with this big title because i know from whom much is given much is expected. I g hope i can be a role model to mama Damaris and others.
In her first paragraph she introduces her self and informes me that she has a wonderful testimony about Project Africa since she joined the tailoring class on 16/10/2008. She says that she cooperates wel with other trainees and the Project Leaders madam judy and Sister Benedettah.
She continues to share with me her achievements saying so far she has learnt how to make women clothes, men's shirts and she is learning how to make both long and short pants. (What a progress this is I am proud of her).
Mama damaris says she is a member of the Rafiki program aand together with other women they are leaning how to read and write. (AND HERE COMES the BIG WORDS-) she says this gives her joy because of many family problems she dropped out of school at elementary grade six. She could not understand English "but now" she can read as well as write. (Is this not empowerment).
mama Damaris says "in my opinion Rafiki program has brought me out of darkness into light". (I feel like screaming thank you).
in part two of her letter, Mama damaris shares further taht her two daughters are in Project Africa's stars mentorship program and she is happy with the impact this mentorship brings to her daughters.
She vows to share with other women the good that there is in joining project Africa and wishes those who started the project lots of blessings
Then she signs off hoping to hear from me soon, She says. ( I can't wait to reply her)
dear Friends, This is the impact that our letters is having in the village. If all women in the rafiki Program are feeling like mama Damaris, then there is hope. I want to encourage you all to know that your support and participation is not in vain. The seeds y6ou are planting in each womans life will one day bring forth a bountiful harvest
thank you for sharing with me in this journey
...before I was born the LORD called me...
Before I was born the LORD called me;
from my birth he has made mention of my name...
Isaiah 49:1
Oh what a gift your life and love for these women has been!! Such a simple thing of writing letters, and how it can transform not only the lives of the women in the villages, but also our lives as we receive them and write back. I got chills the whole time I was reading your post.
I just believe that the Lord is rejoicing over your life and how you have let your own be transformed and have taken that power and given it to other women as well. I read this verse the other day, and the thought that the LORD makes mention of your name....since your birth...oh, what wonderful things he has in store, and what a gift that we can connect through this community and strengthen each other.
oh, thank you for sharing, I have been so curious since you mentioned you had an exciting post coming.....
Many Blessings to you sister, and much strength, guidance and love for all of your days to follow
love to you!

Ellis County: Burn Ban Lifted
WAXAHACHIE - On the recommendation of Fire Marshal's Investigator Jim Pharr, Ellis County Commissioners voted unanimously to lift the ban on outdoor burning within Ellis County.
"The (Keetch-Byram Drought Index) for Ellis County as of this morning is 141," Pharr told the Court. "The Texas Forestry Service 14-day outlook is for the KBDI to be in the 300 to 400 range."
Historically, the Court has instituted a burn ban when the KBDI exceeds 500. The current ban had been in place since August 9, 2010.
Pharr took a moment to provide the Court with a list of a few items that cannot be burned under Texas law:
- Tires
- Electrical insulation
- Treated lumber
- Plastic
- Chemical waste
- Items that contain natural or synthetic rubber
Pharr said his list was not intended to be comprehensive. Citizens should check with authorities before beginning to burn.
The Court approved renewal of its contract with the SPCA for animal services from October 1, 2010 through September 30, 2011.
"The contract is for $55,560, and it is very similar to what we had for the last nine months," said Commissioner Bill Dodson, pct. 2, who serves as the Court's liaison to the SPCA Board of Directors. "We have not had any problems or issues and I move to accept."
In preparation for the November 2 General Election, Elections Administrator Jane Anderson requested approval for a list of Presiding and Alternate Judges along with the number of clerks each Presiding Judge may hire.
"This is a lot less clerks than we normally use, because we are using laptops, which is a faster pace for doing the elections," Anderson said.
A resolution approved unanimously will be sent to State Representative Jim Pitts requesting intervention on regulations requiring a county with a population greater than 125,000 to develop a Juvenile Justice Alternative Education Program.
Commissioner Ron Brown, pct. 4, read the Court's resolution, which noted that the county is experiencing economic difficulties due to the current state of the national economy and requested that the Texas Education Code Paragraph 37.011 be amended to increase the population requirements from 125,000 to at least 175,000 before a JJAEP is required, or alternatively, allow additional time for compliance with the current statute.
In other business, Commissioners:
- Corrected the account number on consent agenda item F10, which should have read "From 001-0370-50804";
- Clarified minute order 287.10 setting the amount of the agreement with the Ellis County Expo at $20,000;
- Convened into a public hearing on the proposed increase of salary for the Ellis County Court at Law #2 Judge in the amount of $593 for fiscal year 2010-2011, pursuant to Texas Local Government Code 152.013;
- Voted to set the salary of the Court at Law #2 Judge at the 2009-2010 amount;
- Declared outdated law books from the law library to be surplus;
- Approved the purchase of twelve 2010 Police Chargers for the total amount of $236,724 from the current budget through HGAC;
- Declared four wrecked vehicles as salvage to be listed for sale as metal scrap;
- Approved the purchase of a Broce CR 350 Broom for precinct 3 at a cost of $29150.46;
- Approved purchase of two 2010 Ford F-150 extended cab pickups for the Sheriff's Office from the current budget;
- Declared as surplus the modular wall units and cubicle unites located at 1201 N. Highway 77 (Old Wal-Mart lease space);
- Approved purchase of one 2009 Chevy Tahoe Defender C1500 Police #4156 for $18,500 from current budget for the Sheriff's Office;
- Rejected the bids for outfitting police vehicles due to additional information being required;
- Approved purchase of a 1995 Peterbilt truck Model 377 for $12,500 for precinct 4;
- Secured the professional services of Davis and McDill Engineers and Surveyors for surveying and plat preparation as necessary in association with the future sale of Ellis County's downtown buildings on Rogers and Franklin Streets;
- Authorized the County Judge to sign an AT&T pedestal easement in association with development at the County Farm;
- Secured the professional services of MAS-D Environmental to conduct an asbestos inspection at 1201 N. Highway 77 as a necessary step in returning the leased building to its original condition prior to the end of the lease;
- Approved a replat in the Radney Addition in precinct 4;
- Adjourned for a short executive session to consult with counsel regarding possible sale or lease of real property.
At the conclusion of the meeting, County Court at Law Judge Gene Calvert asked for a moment to speak to the Court.
"For the dignity of the office, the County Court at Law #2 needs to have the same salary as the County Court at Law #1," Calvert said. "I wasn't asking for a salary increase. Any other amounts that I am paid would be reduced, but for the dignity of the office I respectfully request that you make that a priority for the next budget year."

Vince Neil says that he and former Van Halen frontman Sammy Hagar are planning to embark on a co-headlining tour sometime in 2014. The Motley Crue frontman revealed the news while discussing his band's upcoming farewell tour and his plans for life after Motley Crue.
"I have my own stuff. I have my solo band, and we have a lot of touring coming up," the 52-year-old singer told Blabbermouth. "And actually, it looks like me and Sammy Hagar are gonna go out together for a long tour next year. I'll be carrying the torch for Motley Crue when Motley Crue is done."
In the meantime, Motley Crue will hit the road for one last hurrah to mark the band's 35th anniversary. "We've been on top for 32 years, and it's great," Neil explained. "And it's just like, you know what? By the time we finish this tour, it'll be in 35 years of Motley Crue. So . . . that's really kind of it."
The Los Angeles group recently returned to Las Vegas for an exclusive twelve-show engagement at The Joint at Hard Rock Hotel & Casino, which wrapped up last month.

Legal plunder can be committed in an infinite number of ways; hence, there are an infinite number of plans for organizing it: tariffs, protection, bonuses, subsidies, incentives, the progressive income tax, free education, the right to employment, the right to profit, the right to wages, the right to relief, the right to the tools of production, interest free credit, etc., etc. And it the aggregate of all these plans, in respect to what they have in common, legal plunder, that goes under the name of socialismFrederic Bastiat
Man is a carnivorous production, And must have meals, at least one meal a day; He cannot live, like woodcocks, upon suction, But, like the shark and tiger, must have prey; Although his anatomical construction Bears vegetables, in a grumbling way, Your laboring people think beyond all question, Beef, veal, and mutton better for digestion.Lord Byron
The ease with which barley may be substituted directly for wheat in human food and its usefulness to replace wheat milling by-products as feed in the production of the milk supply render its abundant production importantDavid F. Houston
Art is a concrete and personal and rather childish thing after all no matter what people do to graft it into science and make it sociological and psychological; it is no good at all unless it is let alone to be itself a game of make-believe, or re-production, very exciting and delightful to people who have an ear for it or an eye for it.Willa Sibert Cather
There can be no permanent progress in the battle against hunger until the agencies that fight for increased food production and those that fight for population control unite in a common effort.Norman Ernest Borlaug
Being busy does not always mean real work. The object of all work is production or accomplishment and to either of these ends there must be forethought, system, planning, intelligence, and honest purpose, as well as perspiration. Seeming to do is not doingThomas Alva Edison
If photography were difficult in the true sense . . . that the creation of a simple photograph would entail as much time and effort as the production of a good watercolor or etching -- there would be a vast improvement in total output.Ansel Adams
I have often thought that if photography were difficult in the true sense of the term -- meaning that the creation of a simple photograph would entail as much time and effort as the production of a good watercolor or etching -- there would be a vast improvement in total output. The sheer ease with which we can produce a superficial image often leads to creative disaster.Ansel Adams

Born of necessity, the little fellow (Mickey Mouse) literally freed us of immediate worry.

The vital force of labor added materially to the highest standard of living and the greatest production the world has ever known and has brought us closer to the realization of our traditional ideals of economic and political democracy. It is appropriate, therefore, that the nation pay tribute on Labor Day to the creator of so much of the nation's strength, freedom, and leadership - the American worker.US Department of Labor

THERE IS NEVER ANYTHING TO PRO-DUCE. In spite of all its materialist efforts, production remains a utopia. We can wear ourselves out in materializing things, in rendering them visible, but we will never cancel the secret.Jean Baudrillard
This is an age of mass production. In the mass production of materials a broad technique has been developed and applied to their distribution. In this age, too, there must be a technique for the mass distribution of ideas.Edward Bernays
The prestige of the Nobel Prize is due to many causes, but in particular to its twofold idealistic and international character: idealistic in that it has been designed for works of lofty inspiration; international in that it is awarded after the production of different countries has been minutely studied and the intellectual balance sheet of the whole world has been drawn up. Free from all other considerations and ignoring any but intellectual values, the judges have deliberately taken their place in what the philosophers have called a community of the mind.Henri-Louis Bergson
As vampire movies go, few are more memorable than Nosferatu, which is not only the first screen version of Dracula, but, in some ways, remains the best. Unlike many of his predecessors who dabbled in the vampire genre, Murnau was a craftsman, and the care he lavished upon this production is evident in each shot and every scene. Alongside The Cabinet of Dr. Caligari, few motion pictures have had a more profound impact upon an entire genre than Nosferatu has had upon the legion of horror movies that trailed in its wake.James Berardinelli
When a movie is this bad, it's hard to adequately describe its awfulness in words. The temptation exists to write something along the lines of: "Something this horrible has to be seen to be believed." Of course, that kind of advice would lead to e-mail death threats and other assorted nasty comments from those who spend money on The Devil's Rejects. ... Aside from its poor production values, horrendous acting, and ignoble morality, The Devil's Rejects isn't engaging cinema. Even if the simple act of sitting in a movie theater watching people get hacked up for 90 minutes doesn't bother you, the dullness and repetition is likely to.James Berardinelli
We find that everything that makes up difference and number is pure accident, pure show, pure constitution. Every production, of whatever kind, is an alteration, but the substance remains always the same, because it is only one, one divine immortal being.Giordano Bruno

Japan's Softbank Reportedly in Talks to Buy Sprint: Hot Trends
NEW YORK ( TheStreet) -- Popular searches on the Internet include Sprint Nextel (WMT) as Japan's Softbank is said to be in talks to buy the telecommunications giant for more than 1.5 trillion yen ($19 billion).
Softbank is reportedly trying to buy two-thirds of Sprint Nextel's shares, according to the Nikkei newspaper.
Sprint has said it wants to participate in industry consolidation. The company is reportedly considering a counter-bid for MetroPCS (PCS), which announced it will merge with T-Mobile USA.
The deal would be a big step for Softbank in expanding its business outside of Japan. Softbank, Japan's third-largest mobile phone company, is also its fastest-growing mobile phone provider. It just recently purchased rival eAccess for 180 billion yen.
EBay (EBAY) is trending as the online marketplace has been testing a new feature that allows for local services to bid on, taking a page from Groupon's book. EBay Lifestyle Deals will consist of offers run in specific urban areas like San Francisco, Los Angeles and Washington, D.C. EBay has long focused on products instead of services like dog-walking or personal training sessions, which users will now be able to bid on. EBay teamed up with Signpost, a start-up that arranges the deals with local merchants and posts them on to eBay's site. Signpost already provides deals for Google (GOOG) Offers. Other changes coming to eBay include a "Feed" service, where users can find product suggestions on their home page, reminiscent of Facebook's (FB) news feed.
Mozilla is another popular search. The company has pulled Firefox 16 from distribution just one day after it was released. The company attributed the move to a flaw that left the system critically vulnerable.

Torii Hunter and Jeff Mathis homered and Jered Weaver threw 6 1/3 scoreless innings to lead the Angels to a 4-2 Opening Day victory at Kansas City today.
Fernando Rodney needed 26 pitches to finish off the Royals but eventually recorded the save.
Hunter hit a deep blast off Luke Hochevar to start the fourth inning, and Mathis hit a two-out home run in the sixth.
Weaver, who only gave up two hits and walked two with six strikeouts, never was in trouble and left in the seventh with a 4-0 lead.
