Acer XDS Insider Titanium Driver - Clubhead
Starting at: $25.95Of late, the USGA has been putting all sorts of rules and restrictions on club head design to prevent that very situation from occurring. This is why designers have to be more creative in designing clubs. One method is to design clubs around the way average golfers swing, rather than creating perfect clubs and expecting golfers to swing that way.The most common tendency is when a golfer comes over the top and makes an outside-in move evident by most shots off the tee resulting into a push, fade or the dreaded slice. A Golf Digest article Add 42 Yards Now explained that if you were able to change to more of an inside-out movement a golfer who swung 95 mph could gain as much as 42 yards. Of course, this would require a huge change in how the person swings the club and let's face it most golfers are not going to be able to put in that time and effort. But through creating design features in the club head, the golfer can be encouraged to make more of an inside path.This is how the Acer XDS Insider got its name. The profile of the head as well as the contour on the crown was specifically designed to create a mental picture of swinging from the inside to encourage one to swing the driver on an inside-out swing path instead of that dreaded distance robbing over-the-top move.The XDS Insider also helps you in other ways. Internal weighting creates a draw bias shifting weight toward the heel to assist in rotating the head and squaring the face at impact. The face angle is a little more closed than normal to provide some additional corrective measures but cleverly disguised by the masking on the crown to provide a square appearance so they can just trust their natural swing. Lastly, the Acer XDS Insider also boasts a variable face thickness, cup face design to make the entire club face becomes one gigantic sweet spot and ensure all the distance possible. Learn More

Acer XK Draw Titanium Driver - Clubhead
Starting at: $29.99The Acer XK Draw Driver incorporates the same cutting edge technology as the new Acer XK titanium driver, with one major difference. The one addition we made was incorporating a generous offset hosel - a larger offset than what is found on many of today's most popular offset models. This helps to further assist squaring up the clubface without having to resort to a severely closed face angle. Learn More

The profile of the Caiman X2 Fairways follows the same unique geometric shape as the matching Caiman X2 driver. The stunning black PVD finish is the perfect canvass to frame the club and assist in alignment up toward your target.

The 2015 High School We the People State Competition will take place Friday, January 23, 2015 at the Ohio Statehouse.
Details and Registration
We the People...The Citizen and the Constitution is an instructional program that teaches the history and principles of the American constitutional democracy while enhancing students' understanding of government. Students discover the contemporary relevance of the Constitution and the Bill of Rights at the same time. The program is based on materials developed by the Center for Civic Education and is nationally acclaimed by educators. We the People is aligned to the Ohio New Learning Standards for Social Studies and English Language Arts.
We the People has a built-in authentic performance assessment: simulated congressional hearings. The simulated hearings allow students to demonstrate their knowledge and understanding of constitutional principles. Students will have the opportunity to evaluate, take, and defend positions on relevant historical and contemporary issues.
New: We the People Video Tutorial!
A We the People how-to for teachers and students, the video outlines We the People basics -- getting started, student benefits, hearing structure, scoring details, and more. Plus, watch sample student arguments in simulated hearings:
Thank you to West Carrollton High School We the People team and the Ohio State Bar Association.
The students prepare and "testify" before the simulated congressional hearing's judging panel as expert witnesses on the Constitution.
- A class is divided into six groups, based on the six units of the curriculum. Each group has 3-6 students, depending on the size of the class
- Each group works collaboratively to prepare answers to all the questions for the unit.
- Students review materials in the We the People textbook and research other materials, preparing a four-minute response to the question for each unit and to get ready to answer follow up questions related to the initial question.
Hearing (10 minutes per question)
- Groups of students orally respond to questions for four minutes (notes can be used)
- The judging panel asks students follow up questions and students respond (no notes allowed) for six minutes.
- The judging panel members assess the prepared oral presentation and the responses to the follow up questions using a scoring rubric.

2008 Ford Fusion SEL V6 AWD Review
AWD, leather seats, SYNC
Mileage isn't the best
2008 Ford Fusion V6 Sel Awd — Performance - The AWD on the Ford Fusion is great! It handles wonderfully in the snow. The 3.0L DOHC V6 has adequate power for the car. There could be a bit more power I believe. Braking is not a problem with 4 wheel disc brakes. There is a bit of body roll, which could be fixed with a strut tower bar, rear sway bar, and possibly a front subframe X-brace. (All available from Steeda) Build Quality Seems to be good. There are no squeaks or rattles while driving. I have had this car for 4 months (August 08 to December 08) and I have had no mechanical problems. Appearance - Decent. It has good body lines and looks "sporty" to some people. Interior seems to be lacking quality in the dash, but all other areas are great. The leather seats are comfortable and the heated seat option works wonders. Cost of Ownership - Gas mileage is not too bad. The sticker for the V6 SEL AWD is 18 city and 25 highway. The car stays close to these figures. I have gotten 26.7 on the highway on a long trip. Maintenance seems to be carefree for the most part. So far, I have only changed the oil. Nothing else has had any issues that need attention. Fun Factor - This car is a blast to drive. It grips to the road wonderfully, even in the snow. When you want to be a little "reckless" you can turn the TCS off and do as you please. The car does have its limits though. Overall - This car is a great sedan overall. There is plenty of leg room in the front as well in the back. The trunk has ample room for many items. I think its a great buy for the money.

2008 Ford Fusion Review
Hello...what haven't already metioned
There are none!!
I Would Deffiatly Recomend This Car To Anyone. Not Just My Friends. — I love the way it looks. It's a brand new make and I love it!!It's a sparling midnight blue. (My fave color.) It has silver trim,a moon roof, and it drives amazingly smooth. It has a sync feature. (Which my family just loves) It lets you talk on the phone through the car and you can plug you iPod right through the car. The sound is spetacular. When you're listening to the radio it tells you the name of the song, who sings it, and the station. I've wanted the sync factor in our cars for a while. It's well worth whatever extra money it takes to get it. This car is awesome to drive.

2008 Ford Fusion SEL V6 Review
Fun to drive; Accerlation; gas milage; handling; good price and good looks
so far nothing
Best Car I Ever Owned! — My previous vehical was an F-150, so right away I was enjoying the gas milage. Before this purchase I was in the market for an SUV type vehicle, but the gas consumption and the price of a new SUV was just a bit out of my price range. While still in the dealer lot I glance over at the Fusion,and took a serious look at the sticker. I was looking at one with the sport package. I asked the dealer about it and he let me take a test drive. WOW! The acceration, turning and handling far exceeded my expectations! This thing has the heart of a Mustang GT! It was awesome! I was impressed so much I asked to see a Black colored Fusion with the same sport package. When he showed it to me, I said right away "This is the one I want!" It was loaded with every thing; Heated leather seats & mirrors, TCS, satillite radio, spoiler, electronic climate controls, slick sporty 18" rims and sticky 225 45 18 tires. I was surprised to see tires this wide on a car like this. It even had the special red inserts on the seats and the steering wheel to give it a race car look. 8 speaker 6 CD autiofile sound system, moon roof, Trip computer, reverse sensor, compass, and so much more! Ford really did it's homework on this car! I'am very happy with it!

2008 Ford Fusion SEL Review
Good looking car. Drives great when not having mechanical problems
Had to have transmission changed at 50,000 miles. Electrical and cruise control starting having trouble shortly after the transmission was changed. Severly underpowered.
Was Great At First...but Don't Recommend — Was happy with the car until we started having issues with the vehicle. Randomly slammed itself into 1st gear while going highway speed. Took it to the dealer and was told there was a problem with a "seal" and it was replaced. Was ok for a little while, but then whenever going uphill, the vehicle would slam into the next hear. Took the vehicle back 3 more times before threatening lemon law to get the problem fixed. Complete transmission replacement(lucky we had the extended warranty as it happened just after 50,000 miles) Electrical started acting up, and cruise control stopped working completely after transmission replacement. Had to trade it in.

More powerful than she looks
Wide turning radius
Own It. — I love everything about this car. There are only a few options that, in comparison to a Lexus, it doesn't have. The warranty is great, it performs like crazy on the highway, and I wouldn't trade it in for anything. The brakes are awesome, road noise is about average to low, the appearance is sexy and it is too much fun to drive.

2008 Ford Fusion V6 — Very punchy acceleration. Brakes are standard. Handles like a muscle car. Its built pretty sturdy. You don't see many of this model year around. Its a loud V6. The engine wants to be a V8. It could be a unique looking car if modded correctly.
Primary Use: Sport/fun (spirited driving, track racing, off-roading, etc.)

Gas mileage, price and room
Interior color
Ford Fusion — I love my Ford Fusion. It's a great car for a great price. The gas mileage is great. I'm still averaging 25 to the gallon in the city. It has great acceleration for a 4 cyl. It's comfortable to drive. There is plenty of room for a small car. You won't believe the trunk space. It's great! The only thing I don't like about my car is the color of the seats. The color is way to light! I wish it had the temp. and compass in the mirror. Overall it is a great car. Why get a Honda for much more money?

Room, interior, exterior look, gas mileage, plenty of extras.
Engine noise, gearbox
Ford Fusion Se — It has decent performance levels, considering it is a 4 cylinder. With that comes pretty good gas mileage as well. Car looks awesome and the interior is also great. Half cloth half vinyl. Very comfortable. The only downfall is the noisy engine.

Safe, reliable, efficient and not terrible looking. It will always get me from A to B and it won't break the bank doing so. I also don't look like a loser driving it.
Kinda boring...
Efficient And Practical — I like the looks, the fact that it is a four door and has some room inside is good. The ride is comfortable and smooth. Mine is a manual transmission. Gets great gas mileage and is very reliable. Overall I would recommend it to anyone.

Thank you for pointing that out.
The funny thing is that I own a GX1 and was a little disappointed at missing out on the deal. Note to self: always scroll down to the bottom of special offers web pages.
One DMW-BLD10 order later, I should add to anyone interested that there's one other catch of a £4:00 postage fee which brings the total to £18.99

Seduction, followed by Revelations.
In the last episode, the Vampbenders were whisked away by Loki and taken to "the Netherworld" to seek the aid of Lady N'Hemia, the Succubus Queen. However, upon arriving at her mansion, the Vampbenders were drugged and then placed into pods that would perpetuate a shared illusory world wherein they were high school students and faced sexual encounters at every turn. There, they shall be consumed by desire and become N'Hemia's mind slaves, unless they can break free first. However, before Nerdly could even be integrated into the illusory world, Nucleus manifested from within his body and asserted control, breaking free from the pod and escaping the mansion. It seemed as if a Dark Council member had been lurking within Nerdly's very body all along. We now return with the continuation to this adventure. The episode begins with Nucleus leaving N'Hemia's manor and looking up at the sky. He launches himself into the air, flying away. Nucleus studies the landscape from high above. As he stares down looking pensive, the screen dissolves to signify a flashback. The following flashback is shown entirely in monochrome. The present day Nucleus narrates. The flashback begins with Doctor Myro in the same laboratory shown in "The Future is Now", where he is pressing the same buttons over and over again on the larvae Nucleus' incubation capsule as the song "Spice Up Your Life" can be heard coming from the speakers in another room.

Perfect NFS On An Ubuntu Hardy Heron (8.04) Server System (amd64)
Submitted by sidh4u (Contact Author) (Forums) on Fri, 2008-07-11 16:51. :: Ubuntu
Perfect NFS On An Ubuntu Hardy Heron (8.04) Server System (amd64)
NFS, Network File System, is a file sharing protocol in a UNIX network. It is the de facto UNIX standard. It is strongly associated with UNIX systems, although it can be used on any platform such as Macintosh and Microsoft Windows operating systems. This tutorial shows how to set up an NFS server and client on Ubuntu 8.04 (AMD64).
NFS Advantages:
Local workstations use less disk space because commonly used data can be stored on a single machine and still remain accessible to others over the network.
Install NFS Server:
apt-get install nfs-kernel-server nfs-common portmap
NFS Server Configuration:
NFS exports from a server are controlled by the file /etc/exports. Each line begins with the absolute path of a directory to be exported, followed by a space-seperated list of allowed clients.
You need to edit the exports file using the following command:
vi /etc/exports
Here are some quick examples of what you could add to your /etc/exports - For Full Read Write Permissions allowing any computer from 192.168.1.1 through 192.168.1.255:
/home 192.168.1.201/24(rw,no_root_squash,async)
Where 192.168.1.201 is the IP of the NFS server.
A client can be specified either by name or IP address. Wildcards (*) are allowed in names, as are netmasks (e.g. /24) following IP addresses, but should usually be avoided for security reasons.
A client specification may be followed by a set of options, in parenthesis. It is important not to leave any space between the last client specification character and the opening parenthesis, since spaces are intrepreted as client seperators.
Now you need to restart NFS server using the following command:
/etc/init.d/nfs-kernel-server restart
You can validate the exported filesystem by the command:
If you make any changes to /etc/exports on a running NFS server, you can make these changes effective by issuing the command:
exportfs -a
Install NFS client support in Ubuntu:
apt-get install portmap nfs-common
This will install all the required packages for the nfs client.
Mounting manually:
Example to mount server.mydomain.com:/home to /home. In this example server.mydomain.com is the name of the server containing the nfs share, and /home is the name of the share on the nfs server.
The mount point /home must first exist on the client machine.
Create files directory using the following command:
mkdir /home
You need to mount the share using the following command:
mount server.mydomain.com:/home /home
Now you may need to restart services using the following command:
/etc/init.d/portmap restart
Mounting at boot time using /etc/fstab:
If you want to mount using the fstab file (by the way - in big infrastructures it's always better to use the fstab file):
vi /etc/fstab
In this example my /etc/fstab was like this:
server.mydomain.com:/home /home nfs rsize=8192,wsize=8192,timeo=14,intr
Change server.mydomain.com:/home, and /home to match your server name, share name, and the name of the mount point you created.
Firewall Ports for NFS:
If you have a firewall you need to make sure that the ports 32771, 111 and 2049 are open.
Testing Your Configuration:
Use the following command in terminal to test:
mount /home
The mount point /home will be mounted from the server to the client and using the df command the output should look like:
192.168.1.201:/home 7672288 810144 6475488 12% /home
That's all... Thanks.

Cheap Fuel, New Fees Keep Airlines Upbeat
Bastian believes something on the extremely unlikely order of a 20% drop in revenue would have to occur to offset the anticipated decline in fuel costs. "We've never seen the level of demand destruction that some are forecasting," he said.
At United, fourth-quarter capacity will be down 11%. After reducing its current-quarter guidance, United now projects revenue per available seat mile growth of 2.5% to 4.5%. Looking ahead to 2009, the carrier predicts that various fees will produce $1.2 billion in new revenue and that by year-end, it will have shed 100 of the 460 aircraft in its mainline fleet.
For Alaska, advanced bookings are up 3 points in December, 3 points in January and 1 point in February, compared with the same period last year, said Brandon Pederson, vice president of finance. Loads at subsidiary Horizon are unchanged. Pederson noted that Alaska has reduced capacity by 8% and that guidance "will likely tick up a bit."
Meanwhile, US Airways CEO Doug Parker says, "November was very soft." AirTran's Fornaro says that was because the stock market was melting down, travel slowed during election week and the late Thanksgiving pushed traffic into December.Both December and January look better than November, Parker said. For the industry, "most of us see improvements in RASM in the fourth quarter and most people are predicting RASM improvements in 2009," he said.

Mecklenburg County commission Chair Trevor Fuller is set to deliver a State of the County address on Thursday that will focus on eradicating poverty, growing jobs and an economic picture that includes rising revenues.
Fuller is the first commission chair to lay out county priorities since former commission Chair Jennifer Roberts delivered her address in 2010. It will take place at 10:30 a.m. in the meeting chamber at the Charlotte-Mecklenburg Government Center.
I think it is a tradition worth honoring, Fuller said Wednesday. It is a yearly opportunity for at least the board of commissioners to publicly state what were doing and where were headed.
Too often we get so tied up in day-to-day affairs, we dont try to catalog and present to people in a coherent way whats happening with county government.
After a year of turmoil on the board, Fuller said he will use the address to signal that we have begun to turn the corner.
He said he will talk about initiatives to fight poverty that is a blight on the county. We are in the bottom ranks of the largest metropolitan areas in the country and thats simply unacceptable.
Hell discuss economic development efforts that will include addressing the issues of permitting, code enforcement and inspections.
Its not meeting the needs of people who use those services, Fuller said. Weve got to align our efforts with that.
And hell discuss the projection for growing revenues over last year and the impact theyll have on a new county budget that commissioners and county staffers have begun to develop.
We are doing better in terms of what were bringing in property taxes ... and were finding that changes (in the 2011 revaluation review) are not as stark as we thought they would be, Fuller said. It is a product of a growing economy and property values starting to rise.

by Dan Chmielewski •
On Tuesday evening the Irvine City Council approved a 125 acre ARDA site at the Great Park for a Veteran's Cemetery and Memorial with Mayor Pro Tem Jeff Lalloway seconding Council member Larry Agran's motion. Mayor Steven Choi and Council member Christina Shea did manage to do a Five Point tap dance expressing concern about the city's general fund and the cost of site clean up.

Thoughts on Building, Tearing Down, Solar Decathlons and Great Parks
by Dan Chmielewski •
The Solar Decathlon and XPO takes place this weekend; had it been held in Washington, DC, the government shutdown would have cancelled the event, so the virtue of the Great Park hosting the event, it's still on. I've been disappointed with the marketing of this event. I see some banners on buses and some makeshift…
Is the Irvine City Council following the model of Newport Beach?
by Joel Smith •
The Republican majority Newport Beach City Council recently approved a deal with a developer to push through a new space for a park as part of the Banning Ranch development.

The Demon Deacons' starting lineup was decimated by graduation. Fortunately for Deacs fans, they return three solid starters on the offensive line, including All American candidate Tyson Clabo (the best guard on BC's schedule not named Chris Snee) and feature a decent but undersized running back in Chris Barclay. Unfortunately, they've got a relatively inexperienced QB (Corey Randolph) who's more accustomed to running than passing. I expect Spaz to blitz, keep seven or eight guys in the box and dare them to beat the Eagles with through the air. When your star player is a guard, the BC defense has the edge.
The last thing I want to do as coach of a team facing O-Line U and its 1000-yard rushers is replace my entire DL; poor Jim Grobe. The Deacs return solid linebackers, mobile Kellen Brantley on the outside and undersized playmaker Brad White in the middle. The Deacs' secondary is a mixed bag; on the one hand they're experienced, on the other hand, they're not very good. The situation is ideal for Quinton Porter in his first start.
Prediction: More important than match-ups, Wake Forest is located in the state of North Carolina and no matter how staunchly they supported our admission to the ACC the stupidity of Duke, UNC and the Virginia legislature, and the last minute switcheroo by Mary Anne Fox, is all their fault. Deacs fans will receive a hostile welcome, BC-style, during their visit to the Heights. Expect BC fans to not share their Sam Adams and filet mignon, and hide the women and children when the whale pants crew gives them indignant looks (wrinkles permitting). The Eagles will be fired up, and should roll against a rebuilding Wake team. BC 28 - Wake Forest 13.
2. Penn State (9/6/03)
The best addition to BC's schedule in years, the Eagles may be catching a break in this one. Zack Mills and Michael Robinson are both dynamite quarterbacks. However, the offensive line is a lot like my mother's Midwestern cooking, unseasoned; only tackle Chris McKelvy returns as a starter. With the departure of Bryant Johnson and Larry Johnson, there will be dearth of talent and experience at the skill positions. Donnie Johnson, Mike Gasparanto and true frosh Austin Scott will have a tough go in early September facing Doug Goodwin and Tim Bulman with onion breath.
On defense the line of scrimmage was also decimated with John Bronson the only starter returning. Super-soph Tambi Halli will star at one tackle and massive red shirt frosh Levi Brown at the other, but this line is very raw. Linebacker U will feature Gino Capone as resident stud in the middle and a pair of good outside backers in Derryck Toyles and Dereck Wake or Lamar Stewart. The defensive backfield has suffered injuries and lacks experience at the starting spots, so despite good size, CBs Rich Gardner and Alan Zemaitis will have their hands full with the BC wideouts.
Prediction: Big East fans from the posh suburbs of Morgantown, West Virginia, to the tropical climes of Syracuse, New York, are hoping against hope that Penn State sees the light and returns to its roots playing football in the Northeast where the Lambert Trophy is king. What better way to ensure that outcome than by showing the Nittany Lions that not only can PSU lose to Michigan with stunning regularity, but a 3rd place finish in the Big East is theirs for the taking as well? I like our defensive line here, I don't like the 100k+ in the stands, but since Friday will be my 21st birthday again, I predict a day half-alive on the couch and an Eagles win eliciting my only audible response before 5 p.m. BC 24 - Penn State 20.
3. University of Connecticut ("sUeConn") (9/13/03)
Randy Edsall is an excellent coach, UConn has surpassed perennial doormat Rutgers in its second year as a D-1A team, they've got an early admission to the Big East and UConn fans have plenty to be excited about. Dan Orlovsky is an accurate, strong-armed quarterback with potential to play at the next level. Their wide receiver corps is adequate with Matt Cutaia back from injury, and features a blazing receiver in Jason Williams. Running back Terry Caulley is a surprising talent; he's small, shifty and possesses excellent vision. While the Huskies' offensive line returns four starters the program has not yet built up the size and foot speed combination on the offensive line to succeed against the best defensive line they'll face this year. Expect Kiwanuka, Mettling, Bulman, Goodwin, Unis and Martin to be in the backfield all day.
The Huskies' defense line unit is solid, defensive end Uyi Osunde can get after the quarterback and could cause problems for the Eagles. The linebacker unit is also good, featuring playmaker Alfred Fincher in the middle. In the defensive backfield, the Huskies struggle against good passing teams and they lose their best cover man in Roy Hopkins. Cornerback Marlon Jones is talented but will be outmanned by the Eagles receivers. As a whole this defense matches up well with Big East teams Rutgers or Temple but expect them to wear down as the game progresses.
Prediction: Bring your kids to Rentscheler Field (a.k.a. "The Bakery") because everyone who's been to a grade school birthday party knows that nothing lights up a child's eyes like cupcakes. UConn fans have been going on record for months now, predicting a massive victory; like Duke and Indiana before them, UConn's basketball success pretty much ensures that they have already surpassed BC in football. Unfortunately, Tom O'Brien, Deep-Sea Dana Bible and Frank Spaziani have been conspiring in secret dark rooms to abscond with the value of this game. UConn plays hard and keeps it close at the half but in the end, UConn fares as well on the scoreboard as Attorney General Blumenthal will in the courtroom. All in all though, it's a great day for tailgating at The Bakery and the electricity in the stadium ensures that this will be a great game for years to come, a backyard brawl New England style, where nobody can pronounce the letter R, fans sneer at each other in Brooks Brother's trousers and mutter haughtily into their microbrews and dry white wine. BC 42 – sUeConn 13.
4. University of Miami (9/20/03)
Let's face it; Miami outmans the Eagles at almost every position. Brock Berlin was the #1 QB recruit according to many publications, Frank Gore is a superstar in the making, Kellen Winslow could start on most NFL teams, Beard and Geathers are the total package at receiver, big and fast (although a slight drop from 1st round draft pick and twice-caught academic fraud and plagiarist Andre Johnson). The offensive line is also loaded with Vernon Carey anchoring the unit.
On defense the Canes are also, you guessed it, loaded. The defensive line was the hardest hit unit on the team, and while defensive tackle Wilfork is a 1st team All American candidate, this is not a classic Miami line. Its going to be tough getting by the linebackers though, anchored by DJ Williams on the outside and Jon Vilma in the middle, two players who may be the best at their positions in the country. The secondary is still young but plenty experienced with 1st team All-American candidates in Antrel Rolle (CB), Sean Taylor (FS) and Maurice Sikes (SS). Joel Hazard and Grant Adams had better bring their A game because there is no margin for error against these ball hawks.
Prediction: Something about this game screams upset to me. I can't really justify this based on the lineups; no doubt BC has closed the talent gap considerably but falls short of Miami's talent everywhere but the defensive line. However, after being Shalala'd in the ACC debacle and with the past three finishes at Chestnut Hill, BC is simply due. BC will send the Canes pACCking in front of the first ever pre-2nd quarter capacity crowd at Alumni Stadium. The lights will go out on the Miami-BC series both literally and figuratively while the Eagles take a bow and their first Sports Illustrated cover in the new millennium. BC 23 – Miami 21.

prov-wg, I know this has been discussed before, but I'm still a bit confused. Can a single entity be generated by two distinct activities? I think in a distributed world of multiple perspectives, different asserters would look at the same entity and "carve up" activities differently that may not be necessarily the same. I'm sitting next to a water bottle. That same water bottle was generated by some activity in a factory, but it was also generated by my activity of driving to Target and handing over a Visa card. (and I don't care about reducing my bottle into "before I bought" and "after I bought" - I just want one bottle). Thanks! TimReceived on Thursday, 17 May 2012 14:07:45 GMT

Winnipeg Free Press - PRINT EDITION
Cash approved for fire stations
EPC votes to advance another $2.5 million for new projects
Mayor Sam Katz's inner circle held its nose and approved additional spending on Winnipeg's fire-paramedic station replacement program even as they complained no one has been able to explain the cost overrun.
Council's executive policy committee voted Wednesday to advance $2.5 million from next year's capital budget to complete the construction of four new fire-paramedic stations this year. The cost of the project increased to $17.8 million from $15.3 million. Senior managers offer various reasons for the increases.
The bulk of the cost increase -- $2.2 million -- involves Station No. 11, under construction inside a cloverleaf on Portage Avenue.
Last week, chief administrative officer Phil Sheegl and chief operations officer Depak Joshi told council's protection committee design changes were to blame for the hike at Station No. 11. But Winnipeg Fire Paramedic Chief Reid Douglas blamed the overruns on construction delays and said the design has not changed since early 2011.
The protection committee refused to sign off on the extra funding. At the time, chairwoman Paula Havixbeck (Charleswood-Tuxedo) complained about the absence of detailed financial information in the request, especially since an earlier request for an additional $62,000 for Station No. 27 in Sage Creek included more details.
Havixbeck said Wednesday she has since been told of additional management, building permit and public works fees pertaining to the project. But she said she had no choice but to support the cost hike at executive policy committee.
"I voted for it because we have an incomplete fire hall standing there, looking ridiculous," she said, expressing hope a forthcoming external review of the fire-paramedic replacement program will answer outstanding questions. "The audit will clean this up. I think it's important this information is part of the investigation."
St. Boniface Coun. Dan Vandal said he, too, has unanswered questions about the program, while Couns. Scott Fielding (St. James) and Jeff Browaty (North Kildonan) said it was clear mistakes were made on the program.
Once the external review is complete, senior city managers should face the consequences, added Transcona Coun. Russ Wyatt, who accused city administrators of "crossing the thick, bold, black line" laid out by authorizing work council did not approve. Wyatt has previously called on Sheegl to resign or face dismissal.
Mayor Sam Katz, however, downplayed the concerns of EPC colleagues. "The only thing that I saw when I called the question (was) they unanimously approved it," the mayor told reporters, adding the external review will answer council's questions.
An out-of-province firm was supposed to be selected by Nov. 7 to conduct that review.
EPC also voted Wednesday to declare surplus three city properties once touted as trade fodder for Winnipeg's new fire-paramedic Station No. 12, which was built on Taylor Avenue land owned by Shindico Realty.
Chief Douglas negotiated a deal to acquire this land in exchange for the old Station No. 12 on Grosvenor Avenue, the old Station No. 11 on Berry Street and a parcel of vacant land on Mulvey Avenue East.
On Tuesday, council's property committee effectively killed the land swap by directing city staff to negotiate a purchase of the new Station No. 12 on Taylor Avenue.
Katz said he fully supports that decision, as he believes the city should not have built a fire-paramedic station on someone else's land -- and the land swap was already dead in the political water.
No waffling on chicken
Other executive policy committee decisions made on Wednesday. All require council approval on Nov. 14:
Urban poultry: EPC approved Daniel McIntyre Coun. Harvey Smith's motion to direct animal services to consider urban poultry farming as part of an upcoming review of pet bylaws. More than two-dozen people attended the meeting to express support for the move.
Transit fares: EPC signed off on a nickel increase for Winnipeg Transit fares in January 2013 as well as a package of electronic payment options that will be available when e-readers go online next fall.
Canada Post building: EPC approved Transcona Coun. Russ Wyatt's motion to strip Shindico Realty of its contract to manage the tower portion of the Canada Post building and open up the work to other bidders.
Davis Cup cash: EPC approved a $50,000 grant toward the Davis Cup if Winnipeg is successful in its bid to land the tennis championship.
Wireless internet: EPC approved Shaw Cable's proposal to provide WiFi service to its customers at city libraries, pools and recreation centres.

Z. Alexander Looby
Zephaniah Alexander Looby (April 8, 1899 – March 24, 1972) was a lawyer active in the American Civil Rights Movement.
Early life and education[edit]
Looby was born in Antigua and moved to the United States in 1914 when he was just fifteen years old. Looby's mother died while giving birth when he was just five years old. His father then died when he was a teenager. Upon arrival in the U.S. he worked various odd jobs and read books as a means to educate himself.
He attended Howard University as an undergraduate where he became a member of the Omega Psi Phi fraternity. Looby earned his bachelor's degree from Howard University in 1922. He went on to earn a law degree from Columbia University in 1925 and a doctorate in jurisprudence from New York University in 1926.[1]
After graduating from New York University, Looby moved to Nashville where he took a job as an assistant professor at Fisk University.[1] In July 1928 he passed the Tennessee bar exam and opened his own practice. Then, in 1932, he helped found the Kent College of Law in Nashville. This was a night school that allowed admission to both African American men and women.
In 1946 Looby represented clients in his first well-known case after the Mink Slide riot. A white mob gathered to attack a black residential section of Columbia. The African Americans were armed and ready to defend themselves when the police entered the neighborhood. In the darkness and confusion, residents began shooting and wounded four police officers. Twenty-five blacks were arrested in conjunction with the shootings. Looby and a few other attorneys including Maurice Weaver won acquittals in twenty-three of the twenty-five cases. After the Mink Slide riot trials, Looby was able to convince Thurgood Marshall, the chief lawyer for the Legal Defense and Educational Fund of the NAACP, to come to town.
Thurgood Marshall's first cousin, Avon N. Williams Jr., was an up and coming lawyer also interested in Civil Rights. He joined Looby's practice in order to help defend African Americans who were participating in the movement.
Ben West, a young senator in Nashville's fifth ward, pushed for a charter reform that allowed the local residents to choose their own councilmen. In May, 1951, Looby was elected to the Nashville, Tennessee City Council, along with another lawyer, Robert Lillard, the first African Americans to be elected since 1911. In addition to being involved as a city councilman, Looby was also involved in his church. As a member of the Holy Trinity Episcopal Church, he served as vestryman, senior warden, and lay reader. In turn, many African American ministers would recommend Looby's services to members of the congregation with legal problems.
After the Supreme Court ruled in Brown v. Board of Education in 1954, Looby filed a suit in Nashville on behalf of A.Z. Kelley whose son was not allowed admittance to a nearby white school. Looby is credited with beginning the school desegregation movement in Nashville.
In 1960 Looby defended the students arrested in the Nashville sit-ins. As a result of his support of the students, his house was dynamited on April 19, 1960. Looby's home was nearly destroyed and the power of the bomb broke 140 windows at nearby Meharry Medical College resulting in minor injuries to students. Neither Looby nor his wife, Grafta Mosby Looby, were harmed in the bombing.
Looby died on March 24, 1972, at Hubbard Hospital after a prolonged period of illness. He is buried in Greenwood Cemetery in Nashville.[1]
Awards and Recognition[edit]
In 1976, the government of Nashville named a new library and community center in Looby's honor. In 1982, the Nashville Bar Association posthumously awarded him membership, which had been refused him in the 1950s.
In 1978, The James C. Napier Lawyers Association changed its name to the Napier-Looby Bar Association in honor of Looby and his accomplishments as an African-American lawyer focused on Civil Rights.[2]

3,4,5,7,8 have some value. Mirroring #5,10 has been tested in different soil an cultural systems. What may work in LA (red dress) may fall flat in Flyover. Also it assumes the confidence and nerve to carry it off. 7 " No one's suggesting you adopt a supermodel strut, but take longer strides placing one foot in front of the other -- like you're walking a straight line -- for a subtle, sexy sway."
Yes, duck walking is a turn off!!
