Short walk
Ratapihipihi Scenic Reserve
The track is well graded though steep in places, and guides you through coastal forest and past a scenic waterfall. There is a large sheltered picnic area next to the carpark. Look out for the two old saw pits beside the track, which are remnants of historical logging operations.
From New Plymouth, drive to the southern end of Tukapa Street, turn into Davies Street, and then onto Cowling Road. After 2km turn right into the signposted drive to the reserve.
Here you will see an outstanding example of a lush, temperate rainforest with kohekohe, tawa, puketea and nikau palms.
The name Ratapihipihi is derived from a traditional Maori hunting method. Hunters would attract kaka and other birds by sitting in a tree and making a "pihipihi" call by blowing through a leaf placed in the mouth. The birds attracted were then killed with a short club and eaten.
Before you go into the outdoors, tell someone your plans and leave a date to raise the alarm if you haven't returned. To do this, use the New Zealand Outdoors Intentions process on the AdventureSmart website. It is endorsed by New Zealand's search and rescue agencies and provides three simple options to tell someone you trust the details about your trip.

Juan Pablo Heats Up "The Bachelor"
accept this roseJuan Pablo meets the 27 women who will be fighting for his heart this season on "The Bachelor."
The eighteenth season of "The Bachelor" premiered last night on ABC, and Spanish sensation Juan Pablo Galavis now has his own chance to hand out the roses. After being eliminated by Desiree Hartsock in the sixth episode of season seventeen, Juan Pablo remained optimistic about finding love: "I am confident I will definitely find my future wife and stepmom for Camilla, and I'm ready for it," he said.
During the two-part season premiere, Juan met 27 prospective matches, before narrowing down the group to 18 hopeful women. While there's no doubt that Juan is one of the hottest bachelors to appear on the series, he is also making history as the first Latin man to star on the hit reality show.
What's to come on season eighteen of "The Bachelor"? Tune in to a special episode on ABC this Sunday at 5 p.m. ET to find out.
"The Bachelor" airs on ABC on Monday evenings at 8 p.m. ET.

Cross-Browser SVG Issues
While getting this page ready to display good-looking math, graphs, and figures, I ran into a few problems with how the current browsers handle SVG. I was somewhat surprised considering the age of some of the associated bugs. To give a little bit of background on what I am talking about, let's first consider the problem I am trying to solve (and how one could go about it). I will choose a simple term as an example : the sum of all cubes from 1 to 100. While there is a markup-language called MathML which could be used to render it, the browser-support is very shaky — and the output is often not pretty. The alternative I'd like to pursue is to embed a rendering of the term as a graphics-file. The easiest way to do that is to just use a rasterized image like so (this works in any browser, including backward ones from Redmond) :

This solution is not very elegant however. The author has to guess the resolution and screensize of the reader (so as to provide a properly-sized image), and zooming or printing makes the term really ugly :

You may have noticed that the width- and height-attributed are given here; this is not necessary if you want to use the intrinsic size of the image (as in the first example), and no browser requires it for proper display; in the second example, these attributes are used to illustrate the effect of scaling of a rasterized image.
To avoid such problems when the originating image is clearly scalable/vectorized, I want to use Scalable Vector Graphics instead. All modern browsers support this open standard, at least in name. The handling of that support, however, differs.
There are several ways to include SVG-content in a webpage, some of them standards-conformant. The conformant ones would be (and I provide examples here; if your browser rocks, they'll be displayed correctly) :

<object type="image/svg+xml" data="test.svg"></object>
It is possible to specify alternate content to be displayed for objects the browser does not understand. For instance, it might be a good idea to use
<object type="image/svg+xml" data="test.svg">  </object>
in order to make sure that even backwards browsers from Redmond display something sensible (Internet Explorer, no matter which version, does not handle SVG natively).
You'll notice that neither of these specify width- and height-attributes. The browser has all it needs to do "the right thing" — The SVG-file specifies a default width- and height in pixels (technically speaking these values are defined as coordinates in userspace, but failing a unit being named they are to be interpreted as pixels by default). Both the
- and the <object>
-Element should thus occupy 39×48 pixels. Ideally, this would display something sensible on all the major browsers and fail gracefully on older ones. Let's see how that works out.
Opera 9.64
Opera handles all of the above examples just fine. When using the SVG in an
without explicit width- and height, it uses the intrinsic size. Same for <object>
. When resizing the webpage (CTRL+Mousewheel), the term scales smoothly without artifacts or clipping. SVG support in this browser is excellent, no complaints, well done.
Firefox 3.0.8
Mozilla Firefox and other browsers based on its engine claim to have SVG support. Well, they do, but only if you use <object>
to embed the image; you cannot use  (in this case, Firefox will simply display the text specified in the alt-attribute of the element). This is rather unfortunate, as we will soon see. This bug has been open in Firefox for over 4 years (276431); apparently, the developers cannot figure out how to display a SVG-file in an img-tag "securely" — SVG is potentially scriptable and can potentially embed external files; this seems to be unsurmountable for them). They are also still working on support for SVG fonts (Bug 119490).
So while

will not work, Firefox does fine with the <object>
-version most of the time and obtains its size correctly (most of the time). Scaling works fine (CTRL+Mousewheel) in that case. I say "most of the time" because sometimes, correct object dimensions are only applies after reloading the page (when this bug happens, some SVGs will be vastly bigger than they should be, and others a lot smaller).
WebKit, Chrome, Safari
The WebKit-based Browsers such as Google Chrome 2, Apple Safari 4, Konqueror, etc. also claim SVG support. Unfortunately, it is not quite as decent as one would hope.
In WebKit,

will work. It will obtain the dimensions of its area from the intrinsic dimensions of the SVG file, as it should. However zooming the page will not also resize that area; it will remain constant. As such, support of SVG in Chrome et al. is lacking one of the features that make SVG so useful : decent-quality scaling. The WebKit-renderer is able to scale SVGs if given a hint to do so, though :

Is double the intrinsic size of the image; this variant does not scale either, though. If you were to want to take advantage of scaling in WebKit, you would have to define the width and height of the image in non-absolute terms such as percentages of its container :

In this case, the height will scale as much as needed to accomodate the width, as you would expect (the way the scaling is done can be specified in the SVG-file in the preserveAspectRatio-attribute of the root-element). One might want to attempt to use the the em-units here to get some relation to text size going, but that does not work with WebKit. This scaling is also not very robust (for instance, the SVG's height in this page's header is not scaled correctly).
While not perfect, the
-support at least somewhat works as expected, except for zooming. Not so for the <object>
-support. In fact, WebKit will not use any intrinsic dimension-information of the SVG when the element is not given a height- or width-attribute. It will simply use the default size of objects, 300×150 pixels. This size will also not scale when zooming but, and here is the kicker, the embedded SVG content will (and grow out of the containing rectangle pretty fast). You can give the <object>
an explicit width and height, but that will not scale either when zooming the page :
<object type="image/svg+xml" data="test.svg" width="39" height="48"></object>
Internet Explorer
Microsoft's Internet Explorer simply does not handle SVG at all. You can install the unsupported and no longer updated Adobe SVG Viewer to get some form of support — but at least for me it fails to work well.
Where to go from here ?
The best option to at least fail gracefully with IE is the aforementioned
<object type="image/svg+xml" data="test.svg">  </object>
Variant. This would be grand if WebKit were able to handle <object>
-embedded SVGs gracefully, but it is not. Another way would be to use

and replace the SVG with rasterized images on the fly via JavaScript when Internet Explorer is loaded — but that does not work for Firefox.
Here, I simply embed the image twice (once as
, once as <object>
with a PNG-fallback), with the <object>
-display being disabled by default via CSS and the
-display enabled. If the browser is IE or Firefox, the <object>
-version of the SVG — which seems a sensible default for future browsers.
In case you were wondering why the <object>
-version is wrapped in a

-tag : Safari up to 3.x (and associated WebKit versions) simply do not understand the CSS style attribute of display: none;
on <object>
Opera got it right. Firefox does not support SVG in places where you would expect it to. WebKit has buggy behavior w.r.t. SVG. Internet Explorer simply fails. Hopefully, Firefox and WebKit will achieve parity with Opera on these issues soon so as to bring SVG adoption forward — and avoid ugly hacks to make it work everywhere.

Tennessee Democratic Party Calls for Common Sense Gun Laws
NASHVILLE – The Tennessee Democratic Party today gave its full support to pending legislation that would allow citizens to carry their guns into the voting booth.
The Senate bill, SB 357, would remove the requirement that guns be left outside the voting booth.
"For too long, law-abiding Tennesseans have suffered the inconvenience of leaving their guns outside the polling place," says Forrester. "Now however, it has gone beyond inconvenience. With the Republicans removing fair-minded Election Coordinators across the state for partisan reasons, Democrats need to be able to carry their guns to protect their voting rights."
The Republican takeover of the Tennessee General Assembly has impacted county election offices across the state, as GOP leaders have begun replacing law-abiding commissioners for purely partisan reasons.
"I think it would be very understandable that they would want to make a change if there had been problems with the way the elections had been run," Sarah Bailey, coordinator of Elections in Unicoi County told News Channel 11 in Bristol.
However, Republican leaders want to replace Bailey and other Democrats regardless of the quality of their job performance.
The House is expected to reach bi-partisan consensus on a similar bill. "We know that Republicans want guns in parks and bars, so we don't expect any fight from them on this common sense legislation," Forrester said.
"And if anyone has a problem with guns in voting booths, they should just check the date and get over it," Forrester concluded.

New CPTV Documentary Takes a Memorable Trip Through The '60s in Connecticut
Premieres Monday, May 9 at 9:30 p.m. on Connecticut Public Television (CPTV)
HARTFORD, Conn. (April 26, 2011) – The 1960s are defined as a time of change in the United States, and the people of Connecticut felt those tremors of change as well. It was a time of longstanding and evolving contradictions. Prosperity and inequality. Naiveté and disillusionment. Courage and fear.
Premiering Monday, May 9 at 9:30 p.m. on Connecticut Public Television (CPTV), The '60s in Connecticut, a new CPTV original production, takes an unflinching look at this turbulent and transformative decade through the eyes of Connecticut residents. Using interviews, historical still photographs, archival footage, as well as viewer-submitted home movies and photos, the one-hour documentary chronicles the political upheaval, the cultural transformation and the social changes in the state, from civil rights and the women's movement to Connecticut's role in the space race and the music scene.
Beginning with the optimism and innocence of the early 1960s, the special reflects back on John F. Kennedy's monumental campaign visit to a rainy Waterbury where nearly 50,000 people greeted the presidential candidate at 3 a.m., signaling a momentum shift in his campaign. The documentary includes an interview with an engineer from Windsor Locks' Hamilton Standard who relives his role in the Apollo space program. And it takes an inviting look back at popular local television shows like Ranger Andy as well as and the delights of everyday life from Christmas at the G. Fox store to sledding in the park.
However, not everyone enjoyed the comfort and prosperity of the period. Others were striving to find better opportunities and achieve the American dream. The '60s in Connecticut addresses the wave of minority citizens who moved into the cities looking for good-paying jobs, while other residents moved out to the suburbs in a phenomenon that came to be known as "white flight." The state also became the epicenter of the women's movement when the landmark court case Griswold vs. Connecticut freed up access to birth control for women and established a fundamental "right of privacy," a concept cited eight years later in the Roe vs. Wade Supreme Court case.
The '60s in Connecticut takes a hard look at the war on poverty, the race riots of 1968 after the assassination of Martin Luther King Jr. and the influence of the Black Panthers in the state, including the New Haven trial of several Black Panthers after the 1969 murder of 19-year-old Alex Rackley.
But the documentary has its playful side as well. Viewers take a lighthearted look back at the fashions and hairstyles of the day from Chesterfield coats to shift mini-dresses. Individuals interviewed for the special recall how young men grew their hair out in search of the perfect Beatles mop-top, while girls teased and sprayed their hair into the ultimate Pageboy flip.
From national superstar Gene Pitney to local garage band sensation The Shags, Connecticut enjoyed a vital music scene during the decade. And when it came to watching music on television, every teenager knew to tune in to The Brad Davis Show. Modeled after American Bandstand and sponsored by Connecticut Milk for Health, the weekly show became unofficially known as The Milk Show. But even The Milk Show played a role in the civil rights movement by allowing white and black teenagers to dance together on television.
It was a time of Kennedy and Camelot, great music, scientific innovation and optimism for a better tomorrow. But it was also a period of unrest between the races, the sexes, young and old and tradition and modernism. As Yohuru Williams, Fairfield University professor and author of Black Politics/White Power, summed it up, "The sixties for all of us is a place that is so comfortable and so familiar and so inviting, and yet I don't think anybody'd want to go back."

Kisha Wilson Workout
I do traditional workouts here and there, but I mainly focus on CrossFit. With CrossFit, there is no such thing as a typical day! I always start with some light stretching and some sort of dynamic warm up similar to a football or tack warm up: shuffle, high knees, butt kicks, frankenstein's, hip stretches, shoulder roations..ect
Then we will work on a skill and then to the Workout of the day (WOD)
So a day might look like this:
Strength: Front squat
5x5 (50-80% max)
Five rounds of:
Run 400 meters
30 Box jump, 24 inch box
30 Wall ball shots, 20 pound ball
For time... so as fast as humanly possible.
CrossFit is bascially to :"Practice and train major lifts: Deadlift, clean, squat, presses, C&J, and snatch. Similarly, master the basics of gymnastics: pull-ups, dips, rope climb, push-ups, sit-ups, presses to handstand, pirouettes, flips, splits, and holds. Bike, run, swim, row, etc, hard and fast. Five or six days per week mix these elements in as many combinations and patterns as creativity will allow. Routine is the enemy. Keep workouts short and intense. Regularly learn and play new sports."
~Greg Glassman

From NBC News, this is Today.
Alright and up next, what up?
What's up?
Alright, from Bug bites to empty houses to your pets, we're gonna show you how to do everything right this summer after this. Alright, we've got a little something special for you. How to care for all of those? What to do if situations that may raise during the summertime and we're gonna start off with household fixes. Jaimee Zanzinger is a special projects director for Woman's Day Magazine. Hey Jamie.
Good morning!
I love these quick fixes. These are great ones. Let's start with clothes. You wanna keep your clothes kind of white and popping, and you have kind of a good solution for that.
Absolutely. You can take advantage of the summer sun.
Okay. All you need to do is spritz a little bit of lemon juice on any stains on your whites--
then hang it up to dry. The lemon juice really works well on food-related stains.
And the lemon juice and the sun is gonna bleach out that stain. without letting it set and you just toss it into the wash and you'll have brighter whites and a lower electric bill.
And so you put around the clothesline?
Absolutely. It even works for just stingy whites.
Who put the briefs up here?
That was-- Okay. Alright. So-- So, moving on, if there are bugs in the backyard and you sort of have it, you've got a solution there too, right?
Just to keep your--
insects from snacking on your shrubs,--
it's as easy as hanging a bird feeder. You wanna attract any insect-eating birds like blue birds or sparrows--
to your yard.
Now, if you can't wait for the birds to do their thing,--
you can get rid of any insects or mold on your plants by using a simple mixture of borax and warm water.
Does that--
You use about a half a teaspoon of borax, which is usually used for cleaning.
So, it's really safe. It's eco friendly.
What-- So, it doesn't harm the plant?
It won't harm your plant or you, but it will get rid of those bugs.
Alright. We got bound sheets down here.
Believe it or not--
A dryer sheet can be your secret weapon against dusts.
So, before you go on vacation, wipe down all of your-- your upholstery, your lampshades, your TV screen, and your computer monitor with a dryer sheet. It will get rid of the dust and it will eliminate the static electricity--
on them.
If you have a clingy--
That's what attracts the dust.
Well, if you have a clingy dress, I do bound sheets all the time.
There you go.
Alright. We're gonna go upstairs to Kathie Lee.
It was all fantastic information. Thank you so much.

Defendant Owned and Operated Dump Truck Hauling Company and Rock, Dirt and Gravel Company
HENRY JAMES HOLST, 40, of Puyallup, Washington was arrested today on an indictment returned last week by a federal grand jury in Seattle, Washington. The indictment charges HOLST with five counts of Bank Fraud, two counts of Bankruptcy Fraud, two counts of Money Laundering and one count of Tax Evasion. HOLST operated Holst Enterprises Inc. – a dump truck hauling company – and Rock N Block, a company selling solid rock, gravel, dirt and block. HOLST made his initial appearance on the charges in U.S. District Court in Tacoma this afternoon.
According to the indictment, HOLST obtained a $750,000 Small Business Administration guaranteed loan from Viking Bank by making false statements on the loan application. The indictment alleges that HOLST evaded repayment of the loan and sold assets that were to secure the loan while living a lavish lifestyle. HOLST is alleged to have destroyed records, and continued to lie to the Small Business Administration, Viking Bank, the IRS and Bankruptcy Trustee and creditors.
The indictment alleges that HOLST failed to tell Viking Bank loan officers that he owed more than $200,000 in back taxes to the IRS – past due payroll taxes collected from HOLST Enterprises employees. HOLST also allegedly inflated the value of his assets and income on the loan application. Later he sold assets that had been used to secure the bank loan without informing the bank or Small Business Administration. HOLST is charged with Bankruptcy Fraud in connection with various cashiers checks that he failed to list as assets as part of his bankruptcy – the checks totaled more than $115,000. HOLST is charged with money laundering in connection with his attempts to cash the checks. HOLST is charged with tax evasion for failing to pay $138,000 in payroll taxes in 2000, 2001, and 2002. The indictment alleges he lied to the IRS about assets available to pay those taxes and put the assets in the names of others to avoid detection by the IRS.
The indictment seeks the forfeiture of Puyallup properties owned by HOLST as well as investment accounts.
An indictment contains allegations that have not been proven at trial beyond a reasonable doubt. Trial in this matter is scheduled for February 12, 2007.
The case was investigated by the Small Business Administration (SBA), the Internal Revenue Service Criminal Investigations (IRS-CI), and by the FBI.
The case is being prosecuted by Assistant United States Attorneys David Reese Jennings and Kurt P. Herrmans.
For additional information please contact Emily Langlie, Public Affairs Officer for the United States Attorney's Office at (206) 553-4110 or Dan Wardlaw, Public Information officer for the IRS-CI at (360) 696-7647 (ext 3).

SAND, SUN, OCEAN and FUN at the BEACH.
Welcome to 'Hale Lokahi', where the only thing between the lanai and the ocean is the long sandy beach that seems to go for miles. The covered oceanfront lanai runs the full width of the house, so you have a front row seat from which to view sizzling sunsets over the ocean towards the island of Niihau. There are very few actual beachfront houses on the Westside, as most have a road between the house and the ocean. BUT NOT HERE!
You can walk to anything and everything from this location. The Waimea River is just short walk away offering fishing and kayaking opportunities. In less than 5 minutes, you can walk to either of the large grocery stores in Waimea, several restaurants and shops, or take in a movie at the Historic Waimea Theater. Walk in the footsteps of Captain Cook, where he came ashore in 1778 as the first Westerner to come to Hawaii. This is old Hawaii and far from the tourist crowds. Quiet and peaceful with the dry sunny climate that guarantees you the best weather for your vacation.
This lovely "beach cottage" belongs to one of the older families of Kauai. Until recently, it was used exclusively by their large family as a place to get together and enjoy the beach. Newly renovated, they have opened up their home to share with a few lucky vacationers. This may be just the place you have been looking for.
This one story cottage sits on a large oceanfront lot and offers 3 bedrooms, two of which are Oceanside, and all 3 have a/c. There are three full baths, so no one has to wait to get ready to enjoy the day. Life here is meant to be lazy and enjoyed. Take a long walk on the beach, sit in the shade of the covered lanai, or just enjoy a good book waiting for one of those fabulous Westside sunsets. Because we face westward, this is the only part of the island that has a sunset view over the ocean, and what a view this is. This house is spacious enough for 3 couples, a large family, or a couple celebrating their wedding with a wonderful honeymoon. There is a large kitchen, fully equipped to make a gourmet meal at home served at your own private ocean-side table. All the furniture and bedding is new along with an updated kitchen and baths. It's not likely that you will have a rainy day here on the Westside, but if you want to catch one of those morning football games or watch a movie, you have a new 40'' flat screen LCD television complete with 'High Definition' Cable service! We also have a blu-Ray/DVD player, stereo system with CD and ipod dock, and of course, wireless Internet so you can stay stay connected.
So what are you waiting for? If you have the time, we have the perfect place for your vacation.

My husband and I spent a week at Hale Lokahi for Thanksgiving 2010 after a few days on the Big Island. I am a sunset fanatic and took photos of sunset from just about everywhere on Kauai. The best ones by far (including those taken from the Napali Coast Sunset Boat Tour) were the ones taken right off the lanai at Hale Lokahi.
We were a bit worried that there would not be enough snorkeling or activities to occupy a week on Kauai but we could not have been more wrong.
This island is heaven on earth.
The house in Waimea was the perfect respite away from the traffic and activity of the the rest of the world - even though we drove to the North Shore 3 times during the week, we were glad to come 'home' to a clean, comfortable, restful spot that had exactly what you want on a good beach vacation - no more, no less.
The kitchen had everything we needed to prepare the food we got at the Times Market and Farmers Markets. The laundry room off the garage with the giant sink was perfect for all of our 'red dirt' concerns. The beach gear (towels, chairs, cooler, and mats) let us relax and not have to run around looking for convenienece items. The living room with entertainment system, map, and ultimate Kauai guide felt just like our living room in Austin, Texas.
Best of our entire vacation was sleeping 30 feet from the rolling surf every night.
I had to roll video to make sure we captured that sound to take home with us for restless nights back in Texas.
Thank you Chad for letting us stay at Hale Lokahi for our best vacation yet!

Disneys latest animated epic owes as much to The Lion King and the tale of the ugly duckling than to the Johnny Weissmuller live-action series or the Edgar Rice Burroughs novels. Like The Lion King, it begins with a brief introduction to the world of the African jungle. Two sets of mothers and fathers care for their babies. One set of parents is human, shipwrecked and making a new home for themselves in a tree. The other parents are gorillas, raising their baby in the gorilla community. When the baby boys parents and the gorillas baby are killed by a tiger, the gorilla mother adopts the human baby and raises him as her own. Her mate, the leader of the gorillas, agrees reluctantly, but insists that the boy is an outsider, who can never be one of them. The boy, called Tarzan by his gorilla mother, is hurt by this, and tries to fit in.

The research bibliography that i have found and used until this point and how am i going to use and relate this information to my study:
Academic journals -
- Hotez, Peter J. "MEDICAL BIOLOGY: ON HOOKWORM INFECTION." New England journal of Medicine 799th ser. (2004). This journal will give me concrete data and info regarding the consequences of the hookworms penetrating the body. Reasons, problems, solutions from a medical point of view.
Gamboni, Dario. Nature Design : From Inspiration to Innovation. Ed. Angeli Sachs. New York, NY: Springer, 2007. This book will help me to relate my design to natural phenomena, nature behavior, and eventually to design my form and use of materials correctly and in a sustainable manner.
Mau, Bruce, and Jennifer Leonard. Massive Change : The Future of Global Design. New York, NY: Phaidon P, 2004. This book is more about perception and the goal of my design. A little more abstract than the other books, but it is kind of a thinking method to follow.
Bauer, Henry H. THE ORIGIN, PERSISTENCE AND FAILINGS OF HIV/AIDS THEORY. 1st ed. Jefferson, NC: McFarland, 2007. This is a source for scientific facts, theories and statistics regarding the causes of the HIV virus in our world's population.
Smith, Cynthia. Design for Other 90 Percent. New York, NY: Assouline, 2007. This book is more of an inspiration catalyst, to see how other designer approach the low-tech design for needs of "the other 90%" population in various places around the world, with different conditions and challenges.
Jarrow, Gail. Hookworms. New York, NY: Greenhaven P, Incorporated, 2003. This is medical/scientific information source for dealing with the hookworms problem in Africa.
Movie/film -
- God Grew Tired of Us. Dir. Christopher D. Quinn and Tom Walker. Perf. John Dau, Daniel Pach, Panther Bior. 2006. A movie about the "lost boys" that ran away from Sudan (during the war) to Kenya and finally brought to USA. conflicts of tradition, modernism, technology, culture, etc. helps to understand the difficulties of African people in regard to objects, behavior, norms that are part of our daily routine, but are totally new, strange and unsuitable for others from other parts of the world. Form, functionality, texture, size, usage of a product should consider the user and its context. This movie helps to understand the gap, possible differences and basically open our eyes and mind to something else than what we take for granted...
Websites -
Admin, ed. "Almost 7 mln pregnant in sub-Saharan Africa infected with hookworms." Medical Health Articles. 19 Sept. 2008. Medical Health. 24 Sept.2008 . It's a medical reference for Hookworms study.

City eyes convention center in Hays

A convention center might join the frontier train and influx of Volga-Germans on the list of catalysts that have sparked progress in Hays.

A convention center might join the frontier train and influx of Volga-Germans on the list of catalysts that have sparked progress in Hays.
Aaron White, executive director for the Ellis County Coalition of Economic Development, said a new hub for events could be built on a 3-acre plot south of Holiday Inn Express Hotel and Suites in Hays. The 20,000-square-foot building would hold approximately 500 people at tables in a full banquet and feature a full-size kitchen.
Although the design still is tentative, the project has a projected $8 million price tag. The coalition would use a subsidiary group, Ellis County Development Corp., to own the building, and Fort Hays State University would operate the facility.
The Hays City Commission could consider two revenue streams to pay for the construction.
A community improvement tax district could be established to add a special tax at Walmart, restaurants and hotels north of the restaurant and similar businesses along Vine south of the interstate. The tax might be between half of a percent to 1 percent.
The bed tax, which already is applied on hotel bills in Hays, also could be used. Funds from it now go toward subsidizing the Convention and Visitors Bureau's budget and paying off the Hays Welcome Center building.
Jana Jordan, CVB director, said the new addition could reverse the falling number of people visiting Hays.
Conventions brought in 10,000 to 12,000 visitors several years ago, but the figure is 6,000 now.
There have been complaints about the site often used now, Ramada Inn, and FHSU's Memorial Union is not a convenient location for attendees, Jordan said.
The convention center might not be a cash cow, but it represents dollar signs for surrounding businesses, she said. The average convention participant spends $190 per day, and the typical convention would last one to three days.
"What's going to be really advantageous to our community is that when we have those groups into the convention center, they're more than likely staying in motel rooms, they're eating meals while they're here in our community, they're going to our attractions, they're shopping while they're here," Jordan said.
The CVB worked with 150 convention groups in 2013 whose membership ranged from 25 to 350 people.
White said the convention center also could provide opportunities for local students. FHSU's Tourism and Hospitality Management program could gain experience through event planning, and North Central Kansas Technical College's culinary students could use the kitchen as a learning lab.
Mayor Kent Steward said he does not know how he might vote on the potential proposal because he wants more details. Opinions vary on the value of convention centers, but he said he has heard they often are considered an asset to the public.
"For those who think that it's worthwhile for the city to do it, I think what we would look at would be things like parks," Steward said. "You make no money off of parks. It's all cost to the city, but we do it because we think it's an amenity that is part of having a wholesome community."
White said the city staff considered giving the project to a private contractor four years ago, but they were not satisfied when the requests for proposals were returned.
If the plan is approved, ground-breaking could begin as early as summer. The convention center could be open in early 2015.
