COLUMBIA — Members of Keep Columbia Free have emailed a letter to voters in the Downtown Community Improvement District imploring them to vote against a proposed half-cent sales tax on all downtown retail sales.
The letter, written by Eapen Thampy and Mitch Richards, can be found on the group's website.
In the letter, they list four reasons the tax should be rejected:
- A general belief that taxes should be cut and not raised.
- Some of the possible improvements listed in the ballot language are unnecessary.
- Money would be better spent on other First Ward needs, including another police officer and a fire company.
- A lack of trust in the district's board after the city installed surveillance cameras downtown.
Richards, the group's treasurer and a former First Ward City Council candidate, said that he and Thampy wrote the letter on principle.
"Now is not a time when we need to be extracting more money out of the local economy," Richards said.
Thampy, who works as a political consultant, has lived in the downtown area for the past eight years, including his time as an undergraduate student at MU. He said he believes the tax would be too great of a burden on many people who live downtown, including students and the elderly.
"It's absolutely ludicrous to me that we want to impose another sales tax downtown," he said. "An extra five or 10 dollars a month makes a difference to some people."
Thampy and Richards also said that proposed tax-financed amenities, such as district-wide Wi-Fi, would compete directly with businesses that already offer the service.
"There's a multiplicity of businesses that already provide services like Wi-Fi, event planning and promotion," Thampy said. "I don't see a compelling reason for the government to compete with those people and make their business more difficult."
"There's no reason the private businesses can't provide those services to customers," Richards said. "Instead, they go to the taxpayers. That's the most troubling part of this."
District board member Skip Walther sees the positives of offering Wi-Fi across the entire district but said he would want to make sure a majority of people want the service before establishing it.
"I'm confident that we would do a fairly significant amount of canvassing on the need (for district-wide Wi-Fi) and determine what the people want," Walther said.
Thampy also worries that the district would use some of the estimated $300,000 in sales tax revenue to install more security cameras downtown. While cameras aren't mentioned in the ballot language, a May 2009 draft of a district management plan lists "maintaining a downtown security camera system" as a probable use of the tax proceeds.
Carrie Gartner, executive director of the district, said the district board has re-evaluated priorities since the management plan was published and that none of the money would go toward cameras.
"We did look at the vote (on security cameras) and how the folks downtown voted and decided against it," Gartner said, referencing an April 2010 vote on the proposal to place cameras downtown. Only the First Ward voted against the idea.
Along with possible Wi-Fi service, the ballot lists sidewalk improvements, snow removal, smartphone applications and downtown promotion as examples of projects the sales tax could pay for. But the district wouldn't have to spend the tax money on any of those things.
Walther, however, said the district would have to stick to the general categories listed on the ballot, including:
- Downtown beautification.
- Technology and public information enhancements.
- Business marketing and development assistance.
- Event recruitment and promotion.
- Shopping, dining or entertaining enhancements.
"By listing categories of projects, we are essentially excluding categories that aren't listed," Walther said.
Another member of the district's board, Deb Sheals, said in a previous Missourian article that the board intends to spend the money on the endeavors listed on the ballot.
Thampy also cited concern that some of the tax money would be used to give Gartner a large raise. Gartner laughed when asked about that.
"The goal of this is not so I can have a six-figure salary," she said.
Because Keep Columbia Free has no money to pay for campaigning, it has taken a more grassroots approach. Besides the emails letters sent to residents, the group plans to knock on doors this weekend and express their concerns to registered voters.
On the other side of the spectrum, Progressive Political Partners has been out knocking on doors, making phone calls and sending brochures encouraging voters to approve the tax and giving reasons why it would benefit Columbia. Friends of Downtown Columbia will pay the consulting firm $4,000.
Richards said he feels that he and Thampy are just doing their part to advance their position.
"We're just concerned citizens who wrote a letter and sent it to the people downtown," he said.

I am an Animal Rights Activist & an Environmentalist !!! :D
I love the color pink so much that I felt like i should have pink hair c:
I've moved around a lot in my life and animals are the one thing that always remain constant wherever I go. I can be shy, but around animals I always seem to fit in and be myself. Our family has lots of animals and we all are not only animal-friendly, but also eco-friendly, so I love connecting the two whenever I can!
Life story in less than 140 characters? Well I don't think that's going to happen! But we can try, my name is Sarah, I'm 16 years old from Jersey. I table for Peta 2,I love adventures, being myself, my friends & family, the little things in life, music, and of course animals. Alive to be happy, happy to be alive.

Snake in the Dark
May 21, 2005
Dark nebulae snake across a gorgeous expanse of stars in this wide-field view toward the pronounceable constellation Ophiucus and the center of our Milky Way Galaxy. In fact, the central S-shape seen here is well known as the Snake Nebula. It is also listed as Barnard 72 (B72), one of 182 dark markings of the sky cataloged in the early 20th century by astronomer E. E. Barnard. Unlike bright emission nebulae and star clusters, Barnard's nebulae are interstellar dark clouds of obscuring gas and dust. Their shapes are visible in cosmic silhouette only because they lie in the foreground along the line of sight to rich star fields and glowing stellar nurseries near the plane of our Galaxy. Many of Barnard's dark nebulae are themselves likely sites of future star formation. Barnard 72 is a few light years across and about 650 light years away.

Mags, a young Herald trainee in Haven, the capital city of the kingdom of Valdemar, has talents not commonly found in Herald trainees.
Recognizing this, the King's Own Herald decides to train Mags as a spy in order to uncover the secrets of a mysterious new enemy who has taken an interest in Mags himself. Why is the even deeper mystery. The answers can only be found in the most unexpected corners of Mags' past...assuming he can live long enough to find them.
©2012 Mercedes Lackey (P)2013 Audible, Inc.
"Great story, wonderful author"
That's a tough one. I love the Valdemar series! All of them.
Can't think of one actually other than other Valdemar books.
Mags, of course! He made Mags into a real person.
Yes, when Mags was chosen! That was awesome.
I wish all of the Valdemar books were available on audible. I would buy everyone!
"Fantastic story, excellant narration"
I haven't read the print version but I loved listening to the audio book.
Tamora Pierce's Circle series as well as the Tortall books because they both feature characters that grow from often humble origins to achieve their destinies. I also hope Nick get hired to narrate the Owl series of books by Mercedes Lackey.
I didn't think I had but when I checked my library, I realized that I did have another book that he narrated. He did a great job on the other book but I really enjoyed his narration of this series. I am anxiously awaiting the next book in the series that won't be released until November (I think). I really hope they get Nick to narrate Owlflight, Owlsight and Owlknight from Mercedes Lackey. They are some of my favorite books that she has written and I can't think of a better narrator for the series.
I had no idea how popular Nick was and how many books he has narrated. I will definitely check out some of the other books strictly on basis of his narration of this series.
A story of a boy taken literally from rags to . . . Herald?
I started listening to the first of the Collegium Chronicles books and was brought back into the wonderful world of Valdemar. I normally listen to books as I drive to work or when running errands. This time I couldn't stop listening and had to continue in my house. I think I listened to all four books in about a week.
"Great story!"
Of course! I love the whole series so far. Just a bit of mind candy to entertain you.
Mags of course! He is a strong, well developed character and has a way of expressing himself that I find to be compelling.
I love his voices and accents. He reads at a steady pace that is very easy to listen to and his voice is just lovely.
Very much so. Wish I had the time!
I had a hard time pausing this story and stayed up half the night to listen to parts of it. I can't wait to listen to it again.
"yet another brilliant tale from Valdemar"
I was dubiously wary, when I found Misty was going to just past the time of Vanyel Ashkevron to bolster the history of Valdemar. I had enjoyed the Brightly Burning tale, but was wary due to the shortness of that tale. I have never been happier to be wrong.
this is a brilliant addition to the chronicles of the Heralds of Valdemar.
"Great voice Actor, Story is Refreshing"
Redoubt was very enjoyable to listen to; one of the top audiobooks I've heard.
Nick is an amazing voice actor! I can't even believe how well he switches between accents. I have to admit, he reads the books to me waaaay better than I read the books in my head. I have to giggle a little every time he reads a lady voice, but it's passable.
I wanted to listen to the whole thing all at once. I couldn't put it down. I'm a little sad that there's only 11 hours. It went by too quickly.
Most importantly, I wanted to say how refreshing this particular book was. I've read all of the Valdemar books. Most seem to follow a theme: heraldling grows up in the collegium feeling unsure of himself and navigating new friendships. For most of this book, the heralding is removed from that environment. We got a little break from Emo mags. As we follow the new story developments we got to learn so much about Karse, revisit sun cats, and talk a little about survival skills. It was pretty fun. While not stand-alone, this book definitely stands out in the series.
"Great Listen"
Would like to see more of the Valdemar Series books - White, Silver and Black Gyphon books (Mage Wars), Brightly Burning, Vows and Honor Trilogy (Oathbound, etc...), The Heralds of Valdemar Trilogy (Arrow's Flight, etc...), By The Sword,....
Yes, most definitely
"Feels like a ghost writer was hired to finish"
A new plot line, new writing, new ideas for books 4 & 5. As they stand now, they are terrible.
Not given up on this series part way through. It feels as if she was tired of dealing with these characters and just wanted to end it. Using flashbacks to fill most of the story is a copout.
Nick gave a solid performance. All voices and characters were spot on with the other books. Just feel sorry for him because he had to give up so much of his time on a sagging story.
Extremely Disappointed!!!
After 3 great books in this series, it feels like either Lackey just lost interest in writting this story, or she hired a ghost writer to finish the last 2 books without understanding the characters and their subleties. I should have finished reading after book 3 and made up my own ending - it would have been much more satisfying and less detached from the beginnings. Terrible.
I liked returning to the characters so well established in the earlier books in this series, though reference to them was way too chatty. Action, and the furthering of plot did not develop until the last one third of the book, so in all that last part felt like a set up for the next book in the series.
I would not recommend. I felt ripped off by the inconsequential, rather infantile chatter that fills the first two thirds of the book, then the cheap device of interesting action toward the end to suck the reader into the next book.
Redoubt has inspired me to be much more wary in my selections. I very much resent being sucked into a book that Should have been good, but was cheapened to sell the next book in line.
I truly hope this is an editing and publishing difficulty and not due to a sell out by Mercedes. I've enjoyed her books since she first began writing and I hope she will maintain the integrity and honesty she has evoked in her previous books,
"Mag's adventures inch onwards"
I think the best way to explain this book is "slow". It's another typical Lacky novel, but not one of her best efforts, unfortunately.
Picking up at some point after the last installment, "Changes", we get an in deep look at Valdemar. Whilst Bear and Lena get some plot, nothing really happens in the first half and the second half could have been told in half the space. I think the thing that really irritated me was the "plot twist" about Mags which was painfully obvious from even the plot synopsis. Urgh.
I often see in the other reviews the complaints that this series could've been a much stronger trilogy, rather than 5 books. I agree with this whole heartedly! This series started off really strongly, but has been getting weaker with each progressive book. Disapointing.
There are no listener reviews for this title yet.

Hey all, As I said in another thread, today we depend on a few more host utilities being installed on the host than oe.dev does. This is an attempt to fix that a bit and improve on the situation at the same time. First up is adding a test for mercurial-native to sanity.bbclass since we don't have any hg:// URIs at the moment and dropping from the default ASSUME_PROVIDED list. Next up is help2man-native. We now only ship the GPLv3 version as a -native recipe. This retains a "don't re-conf" do_configure and an expanded comment that explains that if we did so we would need perlnative here. Second, I've tested this with qemux86 and core-image-sato and it still all builds and works as much as it has been for me wrt tests. Finally, in the commit message I said avoiding perl-native problem and what I'm speaking of is that since I put help2man-native in with all of the autotools deps, adding perlnative to the inherits list would bring perl in for everything. We can punt on this by just not adding target help2man for now. v2: Move mercurial-native recipe to meta-oe, GPLv2 version of help2man-native The following changes since commit e66c2999afa2b3efbce8bb46c89f9db5e15f35c7: Saul Wold (1): libx11: ensure nativesdk uses correct DEPENDS and XCB flags are available in the git repository at: git://git.openembedded.org/openembedded-core-contrib trini/add-more-native-recipes-v2 http://cgit.openembedded.org/cgit.cgi/openembedded-core-contrib/log/?h=trini/add-more-native-recipes-v2 Tom Rini (4): bitbake.conf, sanity.bbclass: Make mercurial-native optional help2man-native: Add 1.38.2 sanity.bbclass: Add help2man-native to ASSUME_PROVIDED if found autotools.bbclass: Add help2man-native to the main DEPENDS tree meta/classes/autotools.bbclass | 4 +- meta/classes/sanity.bbclass | 10 +++++++- meta/conf/bitbake.conf | 1 - .../help2man/help2man-native_1.38.2.bb | 25 ++++++++++++++++++++ 4 files changed, 36 insertions(+), 4 deletions(-) create mode 100644 meta/recipes-devtools/help2man/help2man-native_1.38.2.bb

Released: Oct 01st, 2001
Running Time: 89
Director: Bobby Rinaldi
Company: Wildlife Productions
Cherry Mirage, Krista Leigh, Anastasia X, Olympia, Selena Del Ray, Nina Ferrari, Casey (I), Kiki D'Aire, Brooke Hunter, Ashley Brooks, Sindee Coxx, Autumn Wood, Kristy Love
Critical Rating: AAA 1/2
Genre: Specialty
For those enamored of mammaries; also a nice alternative in the arcade.
Thirteen scenes featuring luscious lasses who are splendiferously mammiferous massaging tumescent man-meat between their bulbous bosoms.
There's plenty of "I just love a hard cock between my tits," and similar declarations made to the camera lens ¾ some of them even believable ¾ with Ashley Brooks and Autumn Wood being the two performers here seemingly most capable of making a pecker stiff merely by their use of language and inflection.
Each scene features a brief "striptease prelude," and immediately following the cumshot is a slow-motion recap of the performance highlights complete with an eerily urgent cadence of piano music.
A pleasantly interesting feature of this tape is its combination of well-known performers and relative unknowns. Sindee Coxx, Cherry Mirage, and Brooke Hunter are as erection-inducing as ever. And the box cover is very attractive and colorful to boot!

These Abc Girl poems are examples of Abc poems about Girl. These are the best examples of Abc Girl poems written by international PoetrySoup poets
If you don't find the poem you want here, try our incredible, super duper, all-knowing, advanced poem search engine.
Who does she think she is? She does not belong here. This is not the Ghetto.. She does not belong here. Is she like, lost or something? Can she not find her way home? Who told her that this campus was here for her to roam? Walking to the front of the class like she'll last more than a year prepared to learn and eager she is but the girl doesn't belong here. She should've went down south to an all black institution That way she won't stand out and make no contribution Taking up all this space for no important reason give it next semester and, she be gone like the season It's been a couple of years and that Black girl is still here Still making her way towards the front knowing good and well that she does not belong here How does she even pay tuition? Does even know who her father is? Does she know that her tactics aren't working and her time here is useless? She is not going to graduate I'm surprised she made it through high school Might as well go on back to the hood, get pregnant, and marry a fool. Here she is again, wearing the same cap and gown as I Walking up front to the pulpit How did she make it and why? What is this girl talking about? Valadictorian...whatever It doesn't matter what she is I'll always be better. Steady trying to prove a point all up in my my world It doesn't matter what she does she's still a Black Girl.
I think about you every hour throughout my day/ I dont know what it is about you that makes me feel this way?/ but I want to let you know Im going to try to comprehend them in the nest few wrods that I say...... Dam girl I stillcant belive you my boo....after all the drunk bull-sit I put you threw/ You make me better at everything girl I cannot lose/ Right now you the only woman that I choose/ You bring light to my rez life blues/ You make ,my heart beat faster than it normally moves I dont life being alone because I'm better off when my life is spent in two's/ Without your pretty face around girl I dont know what I would really want to do/ No matter what mi lady because this poem ws written just for you my sweet beautiful boo........
Is her name, getting into everything, is her game, she's as bright, as sunshine, and as fresh, as new fallen snow, and I love to watch her, as she grows, her curiosity beats it all, even though, she's 3 feet tall, her blue eyes sparkle, when she's done something wrong, and you can never be mad at her, all that long, her beautiful smile, will make you weak, even when, she's being a sneak, you can't help but love, that sweet little girl, with straw colored hair, and bouncing curls.
I had gotten to that stage, Where true love was but a mirage. When one is hurt too many times By these daughters of Eve, The heart must surely cease to give Until such a time as right To smile again and see the light. Miranda, fairest of them all Adored our trips to the mall. I could tell from her charming eyes That her love would be my demise, So I fled with what coins I had left, For her love was akin to theft. That was when I met my Nora. By all that's sweet, she had an aura! Pretty young thing, genteel with her voice, Of many boys she was the choice. Flawless, petite, her looks were fine. I swore by love to make her mine. Lovely were those nights we shared. But like I'm sure you must have heard, The flawless ones are just as marred within. She had a love affair with gin. Then came the age of Olivia, The sight of whom did make me shiver. Kind with words, light on her feet, The kind of girl you'd love to meet. Many were those that saw the sight Of our love, both day and night. Looks of envy, of jealousy I mistook them all to be, For they were looks of pity, As it turned out my Olivia Was liberal with her Banana. Pauline rescued me from distress, Mended me like a seamstress. I gave my heart, to her my all, I felt so bad she fled with Paul. Was at the base, looking up, When I saw a damsel stop. Lovely, round, Quinta was her name. Her looks were calm, her manners tame I really wished she'd stay the same, But to when she left, from when she came, Deception was her only game. My path to love had been so rough, So hard, rugged, it made me tough. It wasn't long 'fore I met Rose, Pretty, sweeter by the dose. To her I took an instant liking. But once we went bike riding, She met a long lost cousin, T'wards whom she showed uncanny liking. Well, that was fair, or so I thought, Till the day in bed, them both I caught. Like I said, I'd become tough And her little act was not enough To get this old stallion Weep from pain and feel alone. I marched right on. The wind brought in Sylvia, So pious, in love with prayer. Nearly was I fooled By her style, the way she schooled. Saintly demon she proved to be, Sworn to stay the same eternally. Thelma just didn't get it right. She lit a quarrel, then a fight. Her seasoning too was prone to loiter. It's thanks to her I'm free from goiter! Ursula, a foreign girl I met, Was close to base and thickly set. Many were the times her mind was set On losing all my savings in a bet. She saw no bars, She kept no laws. The time we shared was but a loss. Why all this fuss? Why all this pain? I held them all in such disdain, And swore by life I would detain My heart with bonds of chain Till came that time when girls be sane. At last it came, or so I thought, As Vanessa, misfortune brought. Her looks were fine, Her smile was nice, But all she knew to make was rice. Winifred too followed the cue, And like you know I wish I knew, She was a night rider, A hidden foe, a crouching tiger. Many were the nights My phone will ring, And I'd hear the same song sing: "Winnie got drunk and hit the gutter, By all that's holy, please come get her." Xena was one like none I'd met. She broke a lie without a sweat. I recall one time I heard Her on the phone, caught every word. "Who was that?" I had to ask. It proved to be no sweating task! "It was my dad", I think she said, But she forgot her dad was dead! I had to go, I could not stand The way her stories sank in sand. Yvonne, this girl I met in school, Had eyes that made you drool. I did her bid, I played her fool, It's sad to know I was her tool. Zenobia, legs that wouldn't stop, Passed by and made my molars drop! Scantily clad, she caught my eye, That's how it works, don't ask me why! I loved her gold and blue hair dye. This was it, I'd found my love Sent to me from up above. But she was a business woman Out to sell to the richest man. "Does love exist?" I asked myself. I should just shove it on a shelf. Please don't conclude, don't get me wrong, I love the ladies, mind not my song. Just an art, nothing negative, So please let's not get sensitive. This is fun, it's all a joke. That was me just being a bloke!
There was a girl who lived a secret life, they said she only came out at night. Gone in the day, so no one would see her face, but she had no reason to be ashamed. They called her the angel of the night, beautiful face covered with moon light. A young girl, so shy, would be gone as soon as it got bright. As soon as it grew silent, as darkness fell, this girl would come out, everyone staring as if they were under a spell. There she goes walking up the street, everyone watching like its something they've never seen. though people did wonder if it was just a dream, they still looked out there window to see the same thing. They called her the angel of the night beauty lit up by moon light.
I thought of myself as a damsel in distress, As someone who needed saving, And as I fell deeper and deeper I wondered who would catch me. Time passed and as I fell I saw a sliver of light, I tore back the paper and realized I could fight my own fight. I could save myself. I don't need superman to sweep me off my feet, I just need me. Because 'ME' is who I want to be and 'ME' wants to be free, And how can I be free if I keep expecting someone else to save me? I don't need a man. I don't need to hold your hand. I don't need you to help me stand. I CAN wear the cape, I CAN rock the tights, I CAN fly. I CAN do it ALL, As long as I remember, I'm not the damsel in distress, I don't need you to catch my fall, I CAN do it all.
You left? Why? Because of me is it? It was all my Fault was it? I did Everything for you to love me, I did Everything for you to accept me, I did it all because I love you But why?How could you?! You left and break the Promise, Which you were suppose to not Break it, Your words were all a Lie was it? And This is Just a Game then you`ll end it I was just a Replacement,My Love and YOU slap it on my Face like how it hurts I tried and Tried to Move on, But it still hurts You were Mad because of a Worthless Lie, You were mad just like how someone Died But My Dear,You don`t need to Prove it on me `cause I know I`m not the perfect one to thee And Now may I tell you this, That my Love is never Ending, Whenever you hurt me It just makes me love you more... It makes me Feel heaven to fall for you, But your life was in hell when I did too So now I`m leaving and won`t come back Because you left me Because of me.
I feel like I'm living someone elses life, a life in strife. I've been strong, but when will I belong. I feel so alone, but I'm doing ok on my own. I can't describe the pain, but I keep in mind every storm runs outa rain. I use to think our love was unbeatable, but really its unforgettable. Everyday I walk down memory lane, trying to ignore the pain. He crosses my mind everyday, when will all this go away. There's gotta be something more, my heart is becoming sore. My momma doesn't have to worry, because I'm not sorry. I know he made the mistake, and he's the reason I have this heartache. What we had, was bad. I shouldn't have let it go that far, your just another scar.
Betroth her to me, If she will never stop amazing my spirit. Bring her to me, If she will never stop beautifying my heart. Hand her to me, If she will never stop spoiling me with love. Entrust her to me, If she will never stop till she fight my war. Leave her to me, If she will never wish for my death before the hour. Send her to me, Let our hands lock in wed. Send her to me, Let our oneness soul united.
The same girl that you feel in love with....just that this girl or that girl who im now to you has a broken heart but hey like you always said okay...the word that I hated but now I say it to you okay im going to move on
I find myself dancing alone at odd intervals I'm that girl the one with crazy dreams and a heart full of nails I'm the girl no one knows and if you listen real close you might figure out this is all a dream something make believe I created and if I erase myself out will you put yourself in? I'm sure you have all these lies to tell about my soul and if you pay attention you could learn something about dancing with yourself at odd intervals you could be the person nobody knows.
< >A child is born and with pride they say 'its a girl' a baby girl grows to a little girl that little girl grows to be a girl then comes a teenage girl this beautiful rose blooms desirably to a woman have you ever wondered what makes a woman a woman is a woman defined by her past can one's child wood complete an identity is a woman defined by her life experiences i wonder is it this invisible warmth this gender turns to have? as nature takes its cause child bearing is life threatening game still a woman takes an oath to be a woman she never wonders what she might have done to deserve to be a woman woman are for ever proud to be who they are
The wind blows as if it has something to say Almost as if to warm me to stay away I brush it off like a speck of dust For what I'm feeling is more than lust I won't say it's love Or a message from above But what it is, is even more Ever since you had me begging on the floor Yet I hear the wind, very clearly now It went from a whisper, to practically a shout Thy wind is scary, but very honest It guides me through all the tests It leads the way, never steering me wrong Thus its message sounds like a song When you listen close you'll hear the melody I wish to open my eyes, but I'm in fright of what I may see So I follow the wind All the way to the end And when it's time for it to go The wind's soar starts to slow Now it is but a gentle breeze Making it easier to breath I open my eyes and there you are Shining bright like a new born star I take a chance and come real close For I have not a single reason to boast If not for the whispering of the wind I may have strayed, and fallen to sin But it showed me all the right paths to follow And its message left me no longer Hollow By: Cody J.

Their is A Girl I Know That Always Made Me Feel Funny inside.. Yes I siad "Funny Inside" this Girl that I always wished that she Could be By My Side. I Kissed this Girl Before. And thought "She my as well pull thee Trigger" Because it has been killing me To know That we will Never be Together. WE shared Many Memories and seen many butterflies as well as Bee's ONE thing we wont see is Us Growing old Together and Making Our Family Tree. How could A Girl Make me Feel such a way, for Years now as I just watch her drift away. A Girl I will Never forget Because In my Heart She will Always have a place To Stay!
Help me im trapped in a sea of depression. This sea looks like it shall never end. I kept swimming for a long time. Then I saw you, You in the boat. You picked me up and nutured me back to health. You allowed me to live on your ship for as long as i wanted. That all changed. You threw me back into the pit. Even though i'm still swimming to get to you. You are already gone. But i will keep swimming until i find you. Hopefully you will accept me into your life again. For now though, I am swimming for you. And I will keep swimming until my life comes To a stop.
I'll never be a cure as temporary, For someone's lifetime old injury, No!I'm not a passing by fairy, I'm searching for a lifetime crony, Not a selfish temporary story, So go mess someone else's sensibility Using your pretty petty.
Casey, your a friend that is never forgettable. Your like the sun that always shines down on me and brightens up my day. Guys have dreams and my dream came true by meeting you. your hugs send warmth to my heart and without u my life isn't complete. Your smile, hugs, just everything about you makes my life want to go on and never give up. Just thinking of you makes a guys heart flow with love and character, without you the world isn't completer What I see is a girl that was lost till I found her and I wont ever let her get lost again because she was the one that my heart wouldn't let go. Your more then everything to me and no girl could ever replace u because you're the one who keeps my blood flowing and keeps me warm when it could be freezing outside. Your love for me is so strong that even my dreams dream about you
Everybody was after them back in the day I tell them this is not the King, you can't have it your way I still have them and they are still sought after When I wear them, I don't understand the laughter A policeman stopped me and gave me a fine He said I was violating the noise ordinance with my Manderin Orange Calvin Kleins My niece is due to inherit them for her generation to enjoy They are unisex, made for a girl or a boy I try to make sure that disco is still rockin' Right now I am jammin' on the song Jive Talkin I am wearing a shirt the color of red tomatoes off the vine This shirt will go well with my Manderin Orange Calvin Kleins I have to dig a chest to find my three inch platform heel shoes The color has kept well, the brilliant Robin Egg Blue The shoes are tight, but the read a size nine What a great combination of clothes all built around my Manderin Orange Calvin Kleins As I go to a club to dance, I clear the floor A bouncer shows me kindly to the door I wonder what did I do wrong to deserve this I lift my arms and smell my pits A girl calls me Austin Powers and tells me I am way ahead of my time I tell her it must be my shirt or shoes, I know it can't be my Manderine Orange Calvin Kleins I guess I will move to a place where they show pity Maybe a place where I can fit in, I know such a place, it is called Sioux City Maybe then I can get the respect I most certainly deserve I will wear my Argyle socks and throw them Sioux Cityans a curve I hear the Carmens and Brewers are cousins of mine They will all be jealous of my Manderin Orange Calvin Kleins
I must of wished upon a million stars and hoped on many things The love that I was looking for couldn't compare to my every dream, The one girl I wanted was a mirage to my every thought The one feeling I felt, the most I realized couldn't stop, I would look upon the midnight stars where love was just a blur Laying back in bed wondering who you were, As my days and nights passed, I could feel the love fade I started to realize, the girl of my dreams was never made, I patiently waited, but my appearance was lonely I started to realize, I was my one and only, Nobody would accept me or look my way So I feel to my knees and started to pray, Dear God, I guess I wasn't meant for love or love wasn't meant for me I just wanted that special someone, who I could say was meant to be, I thank you Lord for all the blessings you gave But the love that didn't exist, was something, I took to my grave.
I never thought that I would have to say goodbye, I always thougt that nothing would come my way that I could not handle. Daddy and I used to work on the vehicles, cut wood, I was his little girl. That all changed in July of 2003 when daddy forced me to touch and rub him in places that no little girl should be touching. My thoughts changed that day on who my daddy really was. I was scared and afraid to tell but I did and when I told daddy got taken to jail. I was sent to live with my mom who didn't know how to react with the knowledge that her daughter had been molested, counseling was no help the counselors were quak jobs. I seen daddy at court hearing walking with gaurds on his sides and shackles on his feet and wrist. That was the unforgettable for me. I had wrote a letter for daddy when it was his sentencing day and it was not very nice. But that was before I understood that God wanted us to forgive and forget. Now I forgive my daddy for what he did, but he will never know because he just keeps messing up. You see daddy was set to get off probation January 2009 but he messed up two months before and now daddy is sitting in prison. Daddy doesn't know that I care about him, he thinks I hate his guts and never wanna see him again. However I know that God is my Lord, and I know he will protect me. I will always be Daddy's Little Girl and I will always love my daddy for ever and for always.
Do I hold any value to you? Cause you are a million dollar bill Guess it all depends on the world view Truth is im ill Paper can be so light Life has set us apart I'm in its left hand while you're its right Know you're still in my heart You still make my broken clock tick Get in my head Your that chick Otherwise im brain dead Truth is you deserve the best Go and do what I cannot I'm failing gods test Just use my strength I forgot 10 bucks to anyone who understands it ;) Edit - 8/9/14 I'm gonna just say the meaning behind it line by line since no one gets it, haha. Am I worth anything to this girl, she is everything to me. But then again that depends on how society views us two individually since most peoples standards of the opposite sex is also determined alot by social status. I have issues. Paper ( money ) can be light and fragile. but people would really take care of a million dollar bill if it existed. aka the girl Weve been apart. Im in a totally different state of mind and life then she is now. But she is still in my heart. Shes still the one i think about. Am I still what she does?. I need her help to escape my issues. However I understand why were apart and you deserve the best. Do life at its best cause the girl really is an achiever and a great girl. Im failing but you should continue to succeed.
Rose to a rose I pick up a flower one day on a walk. It stood there all a lone. A pretty flower indeed. A rose in was red in color. Then I was thinking about any other flower she too was a rose. Hair is so red that you would think the sky sets it a fire. A rose for a rose I did consider. What a pretty way to say I love you my rose.
A novel in the works A painting in the making She was an unfinished masterpiece A wedding cake, not quite through baking A tree still sprouting A flower still blooming A mustang behind it's fence Still unmoving Her death was one of beauty they say Angels came down from the heavens Stars now shine brighter they claim She certainly left an impression On me, especially Because I knew she'd be unfinished How could she have an end, any greater than her beginning? Born to be special but also to die young Born to change lives but to never live one Because God couldn't let an angel live on earth and walk amongst this sickness No matter how much I needed to complete our unfinished business
THE BULLIE Why are you always laughing at me Why do you call me names Just because I'm so different from you, for you to drive me insane hurting my brain It saw an introverted me, closed up I felt alone all through my secondary school It made me stronger in later life, no one now treats me like a fool It does hurt, it still hurts at times bullies leave scars, permanent ones a memory it pops in ones my mind I was the new girl yes, i was all in black, i didn't fit in with the bullies persona, pretty girl yes, the prom queen, very popular ( couldn't do no wrong ) From the moment I walked in the main school door I was seen as an inanimate object, another victim they where waiting for It left a scar, cut me deep memories that i would rather of left behind It's permanently etched into my mind I've tried councillors, so many groups I knew so many were in the same position I cried so many tears it's been ten years I remember still with a passion I have to keep strong I had to take action I have to face my demons no more would i let it show Still I am that little girl inside I have to Let go To face, to conquer, to talk control of what once was before Is the only way to move forward To unlock that door To open up, to face ones fears when bullied this one has to do If you face up to all and show others how they can be to Yes this is easier said than done Because the bully is usually one tough son of a gun Try standing up to them they have something to hide bullies have there own insecurities deep inside Thats why this is the path that they choose But face up to them surely they will lose Be positive, never back down don't give in to this yes easier said than done Because a bully is only a bully if you let him be one Da Predman powriginalpoems2makeu:) The urban Poetry collection 2012

A few toys were her trade standing on the side of the passage. Bearing the daring of a beginner she had being long hours frustrated. Seaming week enough a close forties male approach. Never looking at the toys he whisper at her ear. The toys were cheap but the girl choose to have no price. The man turned to go away. But what a price is to buy if you care for the one you wanted for party.! The girl looked down at the toys in tears wiping the edge of her sharp eye.
Who could this mysterious figure be? Slamming beats in heart, All I have is her napkin and her face in my dreams. She is like fire beating against the cylinders of my heart. Somebody tell me! Who is this Princess? Who stole the heart of a basic outliner.

Bay Farm Community Church
To any families looking for a dynamic non-denominational church with lots of community outreach, a good kids program, and diverse group offerings, I would recommend Bay Farm Community Church in Alameda. I have been to several churches over the years since moving to the Bay Area 8 years ago and this has been by far the most warm, caring, and comfortable environment. The music is great, contemporary yet not trying to be showy and the programs for the kids are really good. There are classes from infants up through High School, all well organized and taught by dedicated members with lots of energy and caring. The church is in the midst of building a new worship center, which should help make it feel a bit less cramped. Although it has a diverse community in terms of ages there are plenty of 30-somethings like me who have young kids as well as groups such as a moms group and a monthly couples communication group. The pastor is also very good, integrating scholarship with the word of God to make the messages more meaningful than the short shrift the media tends to give Christianity.

A new theatrical film based on two famous interviews that John Lennon gave a decade apart is set to get its world premiere this week at the South by Southwest film festival in Austin, Texas. Rubber Soul examines Lennon's dynamic personality and changing beliefs by contrasting recreated conversations that the late Beatles legend and his wife, Yoko Ono, had with Rolling Stone magazine in December 1970 and with Playboy in September 1980.
Yoko Ono has penned an open letter to Elbow after they name-checked her in their new song 'New York Morning'. The Elbow lyric goes "Oh, my giddy aunt, New York can talk / It's the modern Rome and folk are nice to Yoko". The line has motivated Yoko to ponder about the relationship she and the late John Lennon has and had with NYC.

Marzahn is a locality within the borough of Marzahn-Hellersdorf in Berlin. Berlin's 2001 administrative reform led to the former boroughs of Marzahn and Hellersdorf fusing into a single new borough. In the north the Marzahn locality includes the neighbourhoods of Bürknersfelde and Ahrensfelde, an overbuilt strip of land which once had belonged to the Brandenburg municipality of Ahrensfelde and was incorporated into Berlin in 1990.
Marzahn is divided into 3 zones (Ortslagen):
- Marzahn-Nord (Berlin-Ahrensfelde)
- Marzahn-Mitte
- Marzahn-Süd
The historic village of Marzahn was first mentioned as Morczane in a 1300 deed by Margrave Albert III of Brandenburg-Salzwedel, when he granted the estates to the Friedland Cistercian abbey (in today's Neuhardenberg). After the Thirty Years' War it fell to Elector Frederick William of Brandenburg. The new village church was finished in 1871 according to plans by Friedrich August Stüler, another landmark is the Marzahn post mill, rebuilt in 1994. The village became part of Greater Berlin in 1920, as a locality of the Lichtenberg district.
Marzahn was the site of a labour camp (today a water treatment plant), where Romani were interned from July 16, 1936 on, two weeks prior to the 1936 Summer Olympics in Berlin, away from visitor's eyes. As a part of the Nazi Porajmos extermination policy, up to 2000 inmates remained there until in 1943 they were deported to Auschwitz-Birkenau, where most of them were gassed. In 1941 the large factory of the Carl Hasse & Wrede machine tool company (now Knorr-Bremse) was erected, where hundreds forced labourers were employed. The victims were buried at the nearby Parkfriedhof, a memorial marks the site. On April 21, 1945 the district of Marzahn was the first in Berlin to be conquered by the Red Army under General Nikolai Berzarin. The "first freed house" stands on Landsberger Allee.
A part of East Berlin from 1949, Marzahn remained a rural site until from 1977 vast housing estates were built on its fields by order of the East German authorities. The construction, carried out in the typical plattenbau style, dragged on until the late 1980s. In the course of the population growth Marzahn was separated from Lichtenberg in 1979 to become a borough in its own right and in 1986 the new Hellersdorf district (including Kaulsdorf and Mahlsdorf) was split from it.
In 1987 Marzahn hosted the Berliner Gartenschau, a horticulture show, on the occasion of Berlin's 750th anniversary. The area today called Erholungspark Marzahn includes the Gärten der Welt (Gardens of the World) project, showing Chinese, Japanese, Balinese and Korean, labyrinths modelled on Hampton Court Palace and Chartres Cathedral as well as a garden of the Italian Renaissance.
After 1989, the Marzahn estate became known for neo-Nazis and "foreigners were warned not even to visit there".[1]
Public transport[edit]
Marzahn is served by the S-Bahn lines S7 and S75 at the stations Springpfuhl, Poelchaustraße, Marzahn, Raoul-Wallenberg-Straße, Mehrower Allee and Ahrensfelde. Tramway connections to the inner city are provided by the M6 and M8 lines of the Berlin Straßenbahn.

Carr @ Fresno State Bowl games!
Was researching info on D.Carr on the Fresno State web sight, when I came across these bowl game stats. Looks like to me, Carr threw for some pretty impresive stats during his two bowl games at Fresno State. He's got it in him to do some amazing things, I think he's just on the edge...of showing us here in Houston just what's underneath all that hair! haha
Click the links for the entire articles. Quote:
I was in the stands for about half the games Carr played at Bulldog Stadium. Everyone here knew right away he was at another level. His poise and maturity was obviously above the ordinary and a great complement to his physical tools.
I can't wait for Capers to open up the passing game so NFL fans can see for themselves what a cannon that young man has. I can guarantee you this, fellow Texans fans - David Carr will never quit on you. :twocents: |
The mystry for this year is the defense and not the offense. I have a feeling the Denver game is going to be a good indication of what the year is going to be like. In David's last year at Fresno it was simply could Fresno outscore the oposition, because the defense wasn't going to hold anyone down. I think we have that possibility with the Texans this year. I think we are going to surprise a lot of people with our offense this year. I suspect we will be in several shoot outs this year. David is beginning to show the maturity that's required in the NFL which comes with time played. I think this year's offense will become our best defense, because if we are in the lead it will pressure the other team into making mistakes. I look for a miserable year defensively. I think the injury bug will be in force again this year. We will have to draft a number of new young defensive players inorder to destroy the injury bug. Until then all we can do is hope.

Dr Mayling Birney, Lecturer, Department of International Development, London School of Economics and Political Science
This course considers China's political, economic, and social developments in a comparative and theoretical perspective. We examine China's experiences in relation to experiences across the globe, engaging current controversies about the best approaches to international development. Students will gain a deeper political economy understanding of how and why China has developed; China's capacities and possible pathways for approaching future challenges; and whether and how China may be a model for other developing countries.
The course opens with consideration of the causes and obstacles for development around the world, delves into China's experiences, and then relates these back to debates within international development. We explore the huge shifts in global economic performance and global political structures over time, and a much larger transformation of personal fortunes since about 1800. At that time, average life expectancies at birth were rarely higher than 35 years anywhere in the world. French men and women born in 1789 could expect to live on average only for 28 years. Today, average life expectancy at birth in France is 82 years, while in China it is 75 years. We focus on how modern China has achieved exceptional reductions in poverty and broader development, examining both its uneven experiences pre-1978 and its exceptional economic growth story post-1978. At the same time, we consider the political, economic, and social challenges it has and will face. These experiences are related to competing theories of development.
As we explore China's transformation, we reflect on questions relevant to development around the world:
Theory and evidence drawn from other countries, such as India, add additional perspective on China's experiences.
Along the way, we ask whether developing countries can really expect to learn important lessons from China. Do different countries face similar types of development problems? If so, would they be able to apply the same solutions? We conclude by evaluating whether and how China might successfully engage key future challenges, such as heightened inequalities, diversity-related tensions, environmental protection, corruption, shadow banking, promotion of entrepreneurship and innovation, and a rising global impact.

Endersai, oh dear oh dear. Some advice for you, get out now! The mini-macs have all tumbled and the big cahoona will follow. One of their recent funding tricks was to steal their subsidiary banking customers retail deposits. And now they are in the market selling assets like airports, and you get real mark-to-market on your fairy tale asset valuations when you do that (unless you are a US bank and self fund it so attractively give an option for the buyer to return the asset to the bank - well in those circumstances a seller could name his assets market price any day - but we digress). For bigmac their fees and distributions are coming straight out of capital in so many of their debt laden satellite duds that it is just tick tick tick unless they can pour more and more debt funding into themselves.
You fail to note the Macquarie Group's success in buy unconventional assets and enhancing their returns. Chances are with Macquarie that there's a strategy behind the aquisition of Thames Water that will become not only apparent, but envied, in coming times.
It will only take 1 major event unwinding a major US bank's self financed offloading of LBO or mortgage debt to explode this as just another bogus off-balance sheet deleveraging device. It is a facsimile of the RMBS securitisation process whereby major US banks pretended to offload risk that indeed remained their own. BIS and the FASB continue to shirk their basic responsibilities, they have full view of events and have even developed the appropriate accounting rules quite some time ago but they refuse to implement them in the face of political pressure. They are politically being towed around by the Rubin's and Paulson's now even more than the Fed Board has been. At least in the latter dissenting voices are starting to appear more prominently in the regions.
One day a private equity entity may come unstuck. For example CEREBUS with Chrysler-Jeep (sales off-track) or the Australian Mac that overpaid for THAMES WATER from RWE...revenue/income in sterling. Lone Star may be buying American securitised mortgages that have sunk some pretty big ships. But British banks will need to be nationalised if they cant refinance their present loan portfolio this year especially if all the hot money is buying half-dead debt.
I can see PE chasing some banks as potential targets, that's what they do, pounce on low-hanging fruit they have a chance at turning around. However, the other side of this is that if commercial and investment banks curtail their lending due to constraints PE will step into more deals and lending. It may be of benefit for the PE boys to conserve their equity for a possible boom in lending, or picking off cash strapped business targets.
I would tend to trust the judgment of Uncle Ben and Hank Paulson not to just roll over and let PE funds run roughshod over what's left of the regulatory framework that Gramm Leach destroyed -- after all they do, ostensibly, work for the public interest.
However, a "concert party" is a concert party. Period. In my mind, this is not a point on which there is any leeway for interpretation. And as far as the idea of "ring-fencing" is concerned, it should only go as far as standard practice in the banking industry: i.e. you don't supply leverage to an LLC without some form of guarantee(s) from the controlling shareholder(s).
What an unmitigated disaster it would be if we doubled down to try to claw out of a leverage crisis that was caused by the bifurcation of downside risk from upside risk.
Coming in a bit late on this commentary, I see in this article a continuation of the regulatory slide toward situational ethics in response to the financial crisis. The motto seems to be: "Whatever it takes to prevent the natural outcome of excessive speculation, let's do it."
Truly, the sharks are in charge of the aquarium.
Private equity is to the Fed what Blackwater is to the U.S. military: an unaccountable unrestrained purpose driven operative. As Blackwater is not subject to Geneva Conventions, Uniform Code of Military Justice (or criminal prosecution for that matter, see http://www.foxnews.com/story/0,2933,306057,00.html), so Private Equity firms not subject to ERISA, SEC or State Blue-Sky rules. The problem comes in where these rouge operatives subvert good faith and even more sinister, when they are used as black glove operations for secret motives by private (secret) plutocratic entities (e.g. Bush/Cheney oil men and the Fed respectively). Please excusecthe previous post's misspellings.

The prime challenge for regulators is to ensure that all participants in the financial markets are governed by and adhere to the same standards. The old argument that Hedge Funds and Private Equity Funds cater to more sophisticated investors and hence don't need regulation (unlike unsophisticated bank customers who do), requires a serious review. Regulators need to create a level playing field that doesn't reward leverage and arbitrage without pricing the risk to society appropriately- making sure that the beneficiaries of the 'upside' also pay for the 'downside'. This doesn't mean more regulation; it just means more joined-up and transparent regulation – and consistent enforcement.
Then let the games begin afresh, so that these 'masters of the universe' can truly demonstrate the genius of their 'value-add' to society for which they need to be rewarded 10s of millions each from other people's money.
"Big firms including Carlyle and TPG are now thought to be hiring the people they need" in order to run the banks they want to invest in – after all, their expertise lies in operational management.
But they need the rules to be "tweaked" because they are deemed too restrictive for them. So, those rules were necessary, but should be changed now in favor of opaque institutions, to ease a credit crisis generated by opaque financial products.
What a thoughtful long term solution that will be!

Hello, everyone! I hope you all had a happy Fourth of July! My hamsters probably didn't realize that it was the Fourth of July, but if they had, I wonder what they would have thought of the fireworks.
I've had two harp-related excursions this summer — harp camp and a harp convention. Soon, I'll be off to an engineering camp in Indiana! Quite a busy summer, and none of it would be possible without the help of my dedicated hamster-sitter.
I've written before about my friend Liz, when I told you about Fang's teeth and Liz's efforts to tame her (Fang is doing fine, by the way). But I felt that she deserved another mention now, seeing as I'm running all over the country to camp after camp thanks to her.
Before Liz stayed with the hamsters, I couldn't leave the hamsters for more than three or four days at a time, unless Mom and Dad took care of them (and usually they were with me wherever I was). The days that I could be gone usually weren't any fun either, as I spent them worrying about the hamsters back at home.
But now that we have Liz to watch over the hamsters, I can enjoy my camps and trips away from home, safe in the knowledge that there's someone back at home to feed the hamsters, check on them and even clean their cages. She calls me if anything goes wrong, but by now she's such an expert at hamster care that she rarely needs my help. Right when she was starting out as a hamster-sitter, she took care of a brand-new litter of Roborovski hamsters that were born while we were away on vacation.
Liz hopes to be a veterinarian someday, and I feel confident that when she is, she'll be one of the most hamster-knowledgeable vets around!
What do you do for your hamsters when you're heading out of town? Do you have a hamster-sitter you really trust?

PhotoPhrase - For Creative Photo Captioning
October 25, 2012 in Photo and Video
[prMac.com] Dallas, Texas - In October 2012, Arcadia Apps released PhotoPhrase, an iPhone app designed to make photo labeling both intimate and creative. Arcadia's founder Jose Castro developed the PhotoPhrase App because, "labeling photos just isn't good enough for some photographs. Special shots cry out for artistic messages that capture the spirit of the moment. I created the PhotoPhrase app to fill that niche."
With plenty of creative options like proportional word sizing, special effects, multi-colored fonts, adjustable opacity, and rotational gesturing, Arcadia certainly accomplished its goal. Editing text is neither cumbersome nor tedious, and text can be placed in any location on the snapshot so the message doesn't have to infringe on important subject matter.
Multiple fonts and colors can be mixed on the same picture through its user-friendly interface. Additionally, special effects are clearly defined and it is a simple matter to switch from one to another in experimental fashion. Moving text is accomplished by holding the mouse button and dragging the text box to the desired location. Proportional word sizing and word rotation ensure that text fits into defined areas. Within moments, the picture can be published to email, Instagram, Camera Roll, or Facebook.
Device Requirements:
* iPhone 3GS, iPhone 4, iPhone 4S, iPhone 5, iPod touch and iPad
* Requires iOS 5.0 or later
Pricing and Availability:
PhotoPhrase is just 99 cents during their introductory offer, (which is 50% off the retail price of $1.99). This price is extremely reasonable since it includes their entire array of options and a generous font package. Additional font styles can be purchased for 99 cents. Arcadia Apps offers full support for this impressive app at website and welcomes suggestions for additional features.
PhotoPhrase is a product of ArcadiaApps. ArcadiaApps was founded in Dallas, Texas. Their focus is on making iOS apps for both the iphone and the ipad. Copyright (C) 2012 ArcadiaApps.

faith, economy, sex + history :: a genre-bending puppet drama
A bawdy, absurdist puppet comedy, Ububu examines how people in power manipulate the stories that affect our lives. Set in the timeless kingdoms of the Ultimate Ububu and Papa Popeddy, these two rulers seek mutually-opposed domination. When the Papa creates a puppet man, Franco Francesco, to disrupt productivity in Ubeland's ol'Factories, Ububu goes berserk with vengeance. "Popeddy's quinced me one too many times," explodes Ububu, "And you all will pay!"
Based on the historical meeting between St Francis of Assisi and the Ayyubid Sultan Malik al-Kamil in the 13th century, Ububu unpacks a little-known historical moment to examine the filthy business of money and power. These moral subjects played a huge role in the medieval Crusades – amongst our earliest and bloodiest culture wars – and continue to play major roles in the way our world works today. "I've been obsessed with this story since studying the Legend of St Francis in college," Ranpura says. "I am interested in how the ability to describe the invisible becomes a tool of power. We humans are clever, and our ways of getting what we want are so various – this event that happened so long ago has become a black box in which I've held a lot of ideas about the ontology of history and the nature of belief."
premiered April 2014 with the help of
The combination of virtuosic puppetry and live acting featured the charismatic performances of Maren Ward, Elise Langer, and Skyler Nowinski. The team of directors included Theatre Novi Most's Lisa Channer and Jerome fellows Sarah Saltwick and Jake Jeppson, with advice from Dreamland Arts' Zaraawar Mistry. Ranpura's projected animations and shadow puppetry connected the medieval and modern worlds, blending media and bending traditional expectations about theatrical space in this wild journey about history.


text: By TOM ZEBOLD USF Senior Writer TAMPA - USF coaches knew Derrick Stultz was ready to take the ball on Sunday and he didn't give it back to them for quite a long time. The senior right-hander gave up only one run in eight strong innings against a potent Louisville lineup to help the Bulls take the final game of the series, 5-1, before a crowd of 979 at USF baseball stadium. "That might have been Derrick Stultz's best day since he's been here at USF," head coach Lelo Prado said. USF (27-14, 11-4) made it out of the weekend in a tie for first place in the Big East and Stultz deserved a lot of the credit after having the upper hand on the Cardinals (28-12, 10-5). The former Wharton High School standout limited Louisville to six hits a game after it locked up a series victory with 12 runs on 13 hits. "The team needed him badly, and he stepped up and did his job," said Prado of Stultz, who improved to 6-1 a season after sitting out with a shoulder injury. Stultz got a big lift in the sixth when the USF bats came alive and gave him a 4-0 lead to feel good about. Kyle Teaf worked a one-out walk, Alex Mendez sent him to third with a single and Luis Llerena gave the Bulls a lead with a single to left field. Louisville made its third pitching change and didn't have much luck with Chad Green, who walked Daniel Rockhold and walked Todd Brazeal with the bases loaded - all with two outs. Green's day was done one batter later when he hung a curveball that Jimmy Falla roped into left field for a two-run single. "We had great at-bats," Prado said. "It was the first time in that game that we really zoned in on the strike zone." The Cardinals got their run off Stultz in the top of the seventh and USF responded in the bottom half with an RBI single by Mendez, who went 2-for-3 from the leadoff spot. Teaf, who went 2-for-2, started the inning with a double down the line in left field. Stultz put one on in the eighth, but pitched into two groundouts and added one of his two strikeouts on the day before he exited. Nick Gonzalez took the ball in the ninth and posted three strikeouts, the last one with a powerful fist pump, to make sure the Bulls got back on track at home. "I'm proud of the way the guys bounced back," Prado said. USF steps out of Big East play for a game and stays in-state to face No. 4/5 Florida 7 p.m. Tuesday in Gainesville. "It's going to be a dogfight up there and I'm excited to see how we respond to playing the Gators," Prado said. |

This paper describes the relationship between composition, processing history, and microstructure of a series of α + β and metastable β titanium alloys. The relation between a wide range of microstructures and the resulting properties of these alloys has been investigated by making extensive use of electron fractography and metallographic fracture path determinations. These results were obtained in connection with an alloy development program in which two alloy compositions ultimately were selected: Ti-5Mo-4.5A1-1.5Cr and Ti-8Mo-2.5A1-4.5Cr. These alloys were processed according to various schedules in order to achieve microstructures which produce good strength-toughness combinations. In the α + β alloy (Ti-5Mo-4.5A1-1.5Cr), the optimum property combinations were achieved in β-processed material which has an acicular microstructure and α-phase at prior β-grain boundaries, although excellent properties also were obtained in equiaxed α + β processed material. In the metastable β-alloy (Ti-8Mo-2.5A1-4.5Cr), significantly better strength-toughness combinations were achieved in α + β processed material which contains globular primary α, compared to β-processed material which contains grain boundary α. The metastable β-alloy exhibits a significant degree of directionality of properties in all microstructural conditions. It is suggested that such directionality is due to the elongated β-grain structure which causes more crack branching when the crack is propagating in the transverse direction compared to the longitudinal direction. Finally, a model is presented to account for the effect of grain boundary α on fracture toughness of α + β and metastable β alloy.

[en] Objectives:
The objective of the paper is to identify the potential impact of different forms of aging (e.g. biological, psychological and psychosocial aging) on entrepreneurial intention. Thus, the key focus will be on aging-related changes of attitudes, subjective norms and feasibility perceptions and their influence on intention. Prior work: Numerous studies have applied cognition research-based models to understand the factors that impact entrepreneurial intentions (e.g. Davidsson, 1995; Kolvereid, 1996; Krueger, Reilly and Carsrud, 2000; Autio et al., 2001; Douglas and Shepherd, 2002; Kristiansen and Indarti, 2004). Most scholars, however, have conducted their studies on university students (e.g. Van Gelderen et al., 2006). This choice is mostly motivated by an easier access to data. As a consequence, this may have introduced a bias that underestimates the potential influence of life-stage-related differences on entrepreneurial intention. Approach: The paper will present a literature review of the theories that look at the impact of aging on career intentions (for instance, Lévesque and Minniti, 2006; Ornstein et al., 1989). The approach is to start on the structure of the intentions model (Ajzens' Theory of Planned Behaviour) as a framework to integrate these pieces of research. Results: This paper is conceptual in nature, transferring important ideas of adult-development to the domain of entrepreneurship. The argumentation will show the differences in perceived desirability and feasibility are related to aging, such as high plasticity of attitude in early adulthood (e.g. Visser et al., 1998), higher change susceptibility in mid-age (Levinson, 1986; Lévesque and Minniti, 2006), and dominant self-limiting roles and decreasing willingness to bear uncertainty in the later eras (Greller, 1995; Shane, 2003). Ultimately, the paper will contribute to formulate hypotheses relating aging stages and possible drivers of entrepreneurial intention. Implications: If the drivers of entrepreneurial intention change according to age, then programmes to stimulate entrepreneurship may have to be adapted according to the target audience. If potential entrepreneurs at later stages such as the "thirties transition" are more susceptible to change, and considering that due to population aging and increasing retirement age in the western world the economic importance of "older" entrepreneur's is likely to increase, why not stimulate them more? Value: To date, there have only been sporadic, short argumentations for aging-related changes of intentional antecedents. We fill this gap and provide a more rigorous review of this problematic. | |
