Cost of goods sold for the three months ended June 30, 2009 was approximately $3.5 million or 26.5% of revenue as compared to approximately $4.0 million or 42.8% of revenue for the three months ended June 30, 2008.
The Company yielded gross profits of $9.7 million and gross margins of 73.5%, compared to $5.4 million of gross profits and a gross margin of 57.2% during the second quarter of fiscal 2008. Gross profits grew by 80.5% on a year-over-year basis. The increase in gross profit was a result of increased revenue in Xin Aoxing Capsule and Tainqi Capsule and a decrease in raw material prices of Xin Aoxing Capsule and Danshen Granule. The Sichuan province, the main region where herbs are cultivated for raw materials used in manufacturing several of Biostar's OTC medicines, has resumed production after recovering from the earthquake. During the second quarter of 2009, gross margin of three products is over 50%, Xin Aoxing Capsule (84%), Tianqi Capsule (64%) and Taohuasan Pediatrics Medicine (65%).
Operating expenses for the three months ended June 30, 2009 were approximately $4.3 million, up 26.6% from $3.4 million in the same period of 2008. The increase was primarily a result of Biostar's expanded marketing efforts, including increased costs for TV advertising, promotion, and commission associated with an expanded sales force.

Second time's the charm
Two tries are key for Easter Seals winner
The second jiggle of Mary Unfried's key Wednesday afternoon will mean a "real nice vacation" for the 54-year-old X-ray technician.
When the lockbox opened, Unfried became the grand prize winner in the 18th annual Easter Seals HomeRun Sweeps. She has the choice of a new home in the Bridlewood subdivision in northern Vanderburgh County valued at $163,000 or a cash prize of $100,000.
She is leaning toward taking the money.
"I already have a home. The way I look at it, the real winner today is Easter Seals," she said. "It's a wonderful cause."
Unfried smiles.
"When the key didn't immediately open the box, I thought maybe I wasn't the one," she said. "It certainly added to the suspense."
Easter Seals sold 2,722 tickets at $100 each. Proceeds from the contest will underwrite therapy services for area children and adults with disabilities served by the charity's rehabilitation center.
Five finalists, all from Evansville, were chosen in a July 22 drawing. Rebecca Phipps won the second prize of $10,000. Barbara Maynard earned a check for $5,000. Fourth-place winners Donna Cummings and Mary Rose Rumage received $1,000 each.
Pam Kirk, director of marketing and community relations for Easter Seals, said the event will net approximately $141,000 if the grand prize winner chooses the home and $151,000 if the cash option is selected.
"Tickets for HomeRun Sweeps sold briskly at first, but started to slow down around July 4," Kirk said. "We moved the date of the drawing back two weeks. In that time, we sold 800 tickets. We're happy with our total, considering the way the economy has been."
Kirk explained that the winner has "a week to 10 days" to decide on accepting the house or the money. She estimated that $30,000 in taxes would be taken out of the $100,000 check.
"In the 18 years of the raffle, approximately $2.1 million has been raised," Kirk said. "There are 5,000 people in our area who receive Easter Seals benefits, and that generosity certainly helps."
Shane Clements owns Eagle Construction. This is the fourth year his company has built the grand prize house. His wife, Amy, works part time for Easter Seals.
"It features a high-efficiency furnace and upscale insulation," Clements said. "I stay pretty busy, so something like this is my way of giving back to the community."

JRT sleeping on bed with me!!Posted by: Lauren Turner
Category: House Breaking
Posted on: February 17, 2002 at 16:16:24
About six months ago I started letting my 2yr old JRT sleep with me on the bed. This was due to his whimpering at night when we shut him up in his crate to go to bed. I thought that I could let him sleep with me a few nights just so he would feel safe. After a few days of him sleeping with me, I got tired of it. So I tried to start back putting him in his crate to sleep, when I did this he would bark and whimper until I came and let him get on the bed with me. I've tried letting him sleep on a doggie pillow beside my bed but he just gets off the pillow and jumps onto the bed. HOw do I break him from his bad habit of sleeping on the bed with me?? Please Respond!!!


text: Central City -- On Monday night at approximately 7:38, KSP Post 2 in Madisonville was contacted by Muhlenberg County Central Dispatch in reference to a deceased male located at a residence on West Whitmer Street in Central City. Upon arrival, officers discovered the man in a building next to the home. The victim, Ronnie E. Hardin, 64, of Central City, was pronounced dead at the scene by Muhlenberg County Deputy Coroner Ricky King. An autopsy was conducted on Tuesday morning at the State Medical Examiner's Office in Madisonville. The preliminary results indicate that the victim died from a single gunshot wound. Through the course of the investigation, KSP Detective Lonnie Kavanaugh was able to obtain an arrest warrant for the victim's ex-wife, Brenda M. Hardin, 61, of Central City. She has been charged with Murder-Domestic Violence and Tampering with Physical Evidence. Hardin is currently in the Intensive Care Unit at Muhlenberg Community Hospital after taking multiple prescription medications. The investigation is on-going and conducted by KSP Detective Lonnie Kavanaugh.

I would like to have a head point at an object but the wrong axis is activated.
How do I change it?
I'm not exactly sure I know what you mean by "the wrong axis is activated", but here goes.
If you want tp turn a character's head, you would go into the Parameters tab and use the "yrot" parameter of the character's head to turn it. You may also have to use the "yrot" parameter of the character's neck as well. It depends on how much of a turn you want the head to make.
I have also found that, depending on the pose, I have to adjust the "tilt" of the head by adjusting the Bend rotation parameter for it to look correct, because just changing the "yrot" parameter puts the head at a strange angle.
Hope that helps.
OK . . . Where's my chocolate? Post Count —> 3,263 and growing! Visit my Renderosity Gallery
It's what you learn after you know it all that counts ~ John Wooden
Point at aligns the twist axis, which is the y axis for the head, towards the target - as you've found that isn't helpful. Changing the twist axis would not be simple (or rather, restoring the rigging afterwards would not be simple).

Maybe just create a 'Point-of-View' camera parented to (and located in) the head, look through the camera, and rotate/tilt/pitch the head until it is facing whatever you want it to be facing?
Many thanks guys
I find point at to be most useful with spot lights and cameras, I create a small sphere that doesn't show up in the render (its under settings) and use that as the Point At target

Origins of the Latino Political Gender Gap
With the 2014 midterm elections behind us, we are again reminded of the potential influence of Latino voters. This is because Latinos have had growing political influence in the last couple of presidential elections. We are also reminded of the potential influence of the 'women's vote' in the midterm elections. In this blog I draw […]
Revisiting Latina/o Gender Differences in Party Support
The 2014 election held great possibilities for those of us who study Latina politics, both because Latina/o political participation in the 2012 election proved to be a decisive factor in the electoral outcomes of several battleground states and ultimately the reelection of President Obama, but equally because Latinas were driving the increased turnout and support […]

Increased Electoral Support for Latinas
The current government shutdown is encouraging more people to reassess their level of support for members of Congress and Congress as an institution. The public is likely to decrease their already awfully low approval ratings for Congress in reaction to the current inability to come to a compromise with the budgeting process. However, as the electoral environment […]
The Growing Success of Latina Political Candidates
The political landscape of the 2008 presidential election, with Obama and Clinton as major party political candidates for president, brought up important questions concerning the impact of race and gender on voting behavior. Questions arose concerning the predicted level of voter support for women and minority political candidates. Is a black or female presidential candidate […]
Gender and Undocumented Immigrant Experiences
Discussions about immigration reform largely focus on immigrants as workers. In fact, immigrants come to the U.S. for both work and family reasons. Understanding the factors that drive a decision to immigrate—and how immigrants organize their lives in the United States—is crucial to developing an immigration law that provides a real solution for undocumented immigrants.

The Security Council's Al-Qaida and Taliban Sanctions Committee welcomes the news on 1 May 2011 that Usama Bin Laden will never again be able to perpetrate acts of terrorism and refers to the Presidential Statement of the Security Council dated 2 May 2011 in this regard.
The Committee underlines that the name of Usama bin Laden continues to appear on the Consolidated List of individuals and entities associated with Al-Qaida and the Taliban and stresses that the assets freeze and other relevant measures most recently set out in Security Council resolution 1904 (2009) continue to apply to the name of Usama bin Laden.
The Committee wishes to take this opportunity to remind States that they should continue to implement these measures in accordance with their obligations under the Charter of the United Nations.
The Committee recalls that it has been requested by the Security Council to oversee the implementation of the assets freeze and other relevant measures to be applied by States against Usama bin Laden and individuals and entities associated with him, as designated by the Committee, including those associated with the Al-Qaida organization.
The Committee will continue to fulfil the tasks assigned to it by the Security Council while at the same time assessing the implications which these events will have on the changing nature of the threat posed by Al-Qaida and, as a consequence, on the future work of the Committee.

Score distribution:
Positive: 38 out of 43

It's a precarious balance, but Payne blends wit and poignancy so artfully it feels like an exquisitely choreographed dance.
What happens is that we get vested in the lives of these characters. That's rare in a lot of movies.
The Descendants would still be a splendid movie without him; with Clooney, it's one of 2011's very best.
In short, The Descendants is the latest exhibit in Payne's careful dissection of the beached male, which runs from Matthew Broderick's character in "Election" to Jack Nicholson's in "About Schmidt" and Paul Giamatti's in "Sideways."
I'm a notorious softie, and I found things to like about the film, most particularly Clooney's performance; but I remained untouched.

Jan 26, 2012This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Clooney and co. bring the quality.
If actors were pieces of meat, George Clooney would be some sort of pricey premium cut. If actors were drinks, he would be the kind of finely aged scotch you've seen mature so perfectly it almost seems a crime to open it. If actors wer- the point is, the man seems to have developed a talent for picking his spots every Oscar season, often appearing in highly emotional, purpose-driven fare personally customised to earn him at least a nomination for Best Actor. This year is no different, as Clooney appears in not one, but two critically appraised films, and it is his efforts, along with an excellent supporting cast and magnetic script, that put The Descendants in prime position to take out the year's top prize. The title refers to Matt King (Clooney) and his daughters Alex (Shailene Woodley) and Scottie (Amara Miller). The extended King family are the descendants of affluent Hawaiians, and so continue to own their ancestor's many miles of untouched, pristine land. With Matt being promoted to primary stakeholder, he now holds the majority vote in the decision to sell this land. Important, yes, but this pales in comparison to the other big deal in Matt's life: a pair of unruly daughters, a wife whom he discovers has been cheating on him, and a boating accident that has placed said wife in an indefinite coma.
With each passing year, it becomes more difficult to distinguish between good, honest films released over the holiday period, and those simply pining for an award or two. Certainly, this film has many typical elements of an Oscar-baiter: an intimate setting, an emphasis on interpersonal relationships and a protagonist at a crossroads in life. Very little of the synopsis is truly original, but the film draws its appeal from just how the story is told. On top of delivering a powerhouse performance, Clooney is present in virtually every scene which, coupled with the sporadic use of voiceover narration, gives the audience an intricate insight into the mentally-crippling decisions one man is forced to make in an attempt to keep his family together.
The film starts off simply enough, but becomes more emotionally complex with each scene. The audience is introduced to Matt, we learn of his wife, we learn of the wife's indiscretions, whom she had an affair with and why this man is of more significance to the story than first thought. For almost two hours, The Descendants progressively builds to a climax that is altogether well rounded, conclusive and memorable, like some sort of grand operatic piece. Or Stairway to Heaven, whatever. Of course, this couldn't be a Best Picture nominee without some underlying themes to accompany the plot. The film deals a lot with life decisions. That is, which one is the right one, and how the most obvious or most favoured option may not always be best. But, in some sort of strange, complimentary fashion, the most surprising aspect of this movie is how plain funny it is. To be clear, The Descendants has no intention of being classified as a comedy, but its unique infusion of 'grown-up' storytelling and often very politically incorrect humour adds depth in the pure entertainment department, particularly for those who may be deterred into thinking this film is just another sob story.
If an ambition to be bold is the film's main event, then its efforts to avoid predictability as the plot thickens is its equally strong undercard. As Matt and family take a trip out to the islands so he can show his kids exactly how much of the land is theirs, one daughter recalls how she used to camp out on one particular stretch of beach with her mother when she was younger. This sounds like a certain case of foreshadowing, but Matt knows that, given the events unfolding around them, one camping trip will not solve much. This is but one example of the maturity and monk-like dedication to persistently engaging the audience, making The Descendants a must-see anytime before Oscar night.

What made it short of great for me was probably the excessively long voiceover in the start of the movie or how the irony, comedy and drama (all words derived from Greek that the director should better understand) were contradicting rather than complimenting one another at times, making The Descendants feel more like a soap opera with Hawaiian shirts.… Expand

Panasonic launches DVD camcorder with 20x zoom
Panasonic has launched a DVD Video camera with a difference in Japan.
The VDR-D400 is the first of its kind to boast a 20x optical zoom. The standard zoom on most other camcorders is half of that.
According to Panasonic, thanks to anti-blur technology, the camera will capture shake-free images even at the maximum zoom.
It records using MPEG2 compression on to DVD-RAM/-R/-RW, and can take 3.1MP still images as well as video; both can be stored on an SD card as well.
The camera will retail from September for around ¥120,000 (£560).

By Matt Ward —
City of Fredericksburg officials will seek to overturn the recent charter amendment, at least in part, with the expected filing of a lawsuit in Travis County District Court within the next two weeks.
Passed by voters in a slim 581-556 decision last month, the amendment regulates the ability of the city to transfer money from enterprise funds and requires approval by voters prior to the transfer.
The expected suit will seek a declaratory judgment that the recent charter amendment is not enforceable so long as the city's currently-issued debt instrument bonds remain outstanding.
Filing a declaratory judgment suit will allow the city to receive an expedited decision, expected within a few months rather than several years.
By Austin R. Eck —
Gillespie County Commissioners heard a request to approve expenses needed to send tax statements electronically to citizens who request the service during their regular session on Monday.
Under the new program, people who request the service would be sent their tax statements via email, and if they fail to open the email after 30 days, the county would send a letter through the mail.
The total cost of the program would be $1,550 with $900 being a one-time fee.
The program has never been used before, so it is hard to gauge the interest in receiving their tax statements electronically. Officials, without knowing the interest levels, could not estimate if any money would be saved, county judge Mark Stroeher said.
"I wouldn't think we would get that many people who use it the first year, so it's probably not going to be justified by the saving on postage the first year," Stroeher said.

Organizers of the 53rd Stonewall Peach JAMboree and Rodeo are still smiling after celebrating this year's successful peach harvest with a record sale, the crowning of a new peach queen and a larger-than-expected crowd on both Friday and Saturday nights.
"I think the weekend went great," said Brandon Weinheimer, president of the Stonewall Chamber of Commerce, which hosts the annual affair.
"One of the things that helped the most, of course, is that this year we have peaches," Weinheimer said. "Last year was unfortunate because all we had was vegetable baskets" after Mother Nature left little of the peach crop behind, he said.
In contrast, this year's peach show featured some eight different varieties of healthy, good-sized peaches. In fact, the heaviest peach in the show was a Bounty shown by Gold Orchard and it weighed in at just under a pound at 14.6 ounces.
Stonewall grower Russell Studebaker, of Studebaker Farms, makes a personal delivery to a group of buyers in the audience
who had just combined their finances to pay out $3,200 for his half-bushel of Cary Mac variety peaches that won first in the peach show Saturday afternoon at the 53rd Stonewall Peach JAMboree. Auctioneer Tim Jeanes helped the sale set a record. — Standard-Radio Post photos/Lisa Treiber-Walter

Jeff Jeffers (front) as Thénardier proclaims that he is the "Master of the House" before an unruly cast of characters. The Fredericksburg Community Theater concluded its first week of "Les Misérables." Shows will continue Friday, Saturday and Sunday through July 6. — Standard-Radio Post/Austin R. Eck
Two weekends remain for Fredericksburg Theater Company's production of "Les Misérables," one of Broadway's longest running and most famous musicals.
The musical, which continues weekends through July 6, is based on the novel by Victor Hugo set in 19th century France and tells the story of Jean Valjean, a man seeking redemption after serving 19 years in jail for stealing a loaf of bread for his sister's child.
Performances will be held Fridays and Saturdays at 8 p.m. with Sunday matinees at 2 p.m.
"When I first saw 'Les Misérables' 20 years ago, I was drawn into the show because of the combination of very personal stories and the theatrical presentation," director Jim Weisman said. "In our production, we're adding the close up and personal element that you won't get in the big touring theaters. We have an amazingly talented cast and I think audiences will be completely entranced."

The Fredericksburg Independent School District's newest trustee began her new position at the June 9 meeting after her swearing in during a May 23 special meeting.
Kerinne Herber, who has lived in Fredericksburg for 11 years, said her "passion for education" prompted her to run for a trustee position.
"It also helps that I have four young children that will be going through the education system," she said.
The new trustee replaces Leola Mills, who chose not to run for reelection.
While Herber might be the new trustee on the block, her feet are already wet. The board elected her secretary for the 2014-2015 school year.
A blend of blues, jazz, R&B and funk will be performed by the Austin-based Frank Gomez Band for a Pedernales Creative Arts Alliance (PCAA) outdoor concert this Sunday, June 29.
There is no admission charge to the performance, which is scheduled to start around 6:30 p.m. in the Adelsverein Halle (the largest pavilion) on Marktplatz.
Those planning to attend are invited to either bring lawn chairs and blankets or arrive early to secure some of the limited picnic table seating.
The band will perform for about an hour-and-a-half, during which time listeners are invited to "cut a rug" on a makeshift dance floor in front of the stage.
Attendees are also encouraged to bring along refreshments or picnic suppers.
Frank Gomez, a native of Ft. Benning, Georgia, is an Austin-based American rhythm and blues singer/songwrtier, guitarist and vocalist.
The Zion Music Fest is returning to Marktplatz Saturday, June 28.
The event will feature Christian music artists and begins at noon. Admission is free.
Artists Matt Adler, Forever Young and Icris will return, along with new guests Scott Ivey and Fredericksburg's own Samantha Ann Little.
Other Christian bands set to hit the stage include Prophet Within, Zion Road and For The People.
Headlining the event this year is Seventh Day Slumber.
Organizers will welcome comedian Adrian Lucio of San Antonio and guest speaker will be Jake Edwards, former First Baptist Church youth minister, now of Lubbock.
There will also be a Kidz Zone, skateboard exhibition, food vendors and Christian clothing vendors.

South senior Anne Crowley enjoyed a good weekend, scoring goals in the Blue Devils' wins over Livonia Ladywood and Northville. Photo by Bob Bruce
December 19, 2013
It took four long weeks before the Grosse Pointe South girls' hockey team finally played its home opener.
The Blue Devils hosted Northville Sunday, Dec. 15, and won 4-1 behind a solid team effort.
The Blue Devils scored twice in the first period, with senior captain Tenley Shield tallying at the 9:08 mark and sophomore Gennie Martin tallying at the 2:12 mark.
Junior Libby Erickson and sophomore Grace Moody assisted Shield's goal, and Shield assisted Martin's goal.
The Mustangs got on the board early in the second period, with junior Marisha Hackett netting the tally.
Senior Anne Crowley gave the home team some breathing room, scoring a goal at the 6:00 mark. Freshman Emma St. John earned the lone assist.
Martin put the finishing touches on the scoring, tallying a goal at the 2:43 mark of the second period, with Shield and Erickson netting assists.
Sophomore goalkeeper Isabella Strickler earned another win in net.
In other action last week, South lost 8-1 at Bloomfield Hills Cranbrook-Kingswood and defeated Livonia Ladywood 4-2.
Shield scored the Blue Devils' lone goal early in the third period to prevent the shutout at CK.
Against Ladywood, Strickler was the No. 1 star. She stopped three breakaways and several point-blank slap shots to help the Blue Devils earn the road victory.
The Blue Devils scored twice in the opening period, with Martin tallying at the 4:11 mark and Crowley scoring at the 1:30 mark.
Shield and freshman Margaret Reilly assisted Martin's goal, while St. John drew the lone assist on Crowley's goal.
In the second period, Shield scored, with Martin netting the assist, and Martin tallied at the 14:12 mark of the third stanza to give the Blue Devils a comfortable 4-0 advantage. Erickson had the assist.

A few weeks ago I listed one of our Peugeots on Craigslist. I got no responses and figured I'd just hold on to the bike until spring. Maybe my wife would decide to keep it ;-)
Today as I'm going through my junk mail folder I discover that in fact I had received several responses including one from last weekend. So I email back and say that the bike is still available if she wants to take a look.
Her response was: "Does it have horizontal dropouts?"
Noooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo, -she wants to make a fixie out of it!
This is a bike I spent weeks researching, upgrading, and testing until I got a nice smooth 12 speed indexed drive train.
I'm thinking I should say forget the whole thing, but the money would be nice ;-)

BackupExec slow when SEP2013 Small Business installed on server
When Symantec Endpoint Protection (SEP) 2013 Small Business is installed on the server (SBS 2011) the data rate of backup dropped to 10% of the original rate, before SEP installation, not able to complete the backup within reasonable time. We use BackupExec 2012 and the backup destination is a NAS on gigabit network and a local removable storage. Both are affected.
I tried to follow some recommendations from http://www.symantec.com/business/support/index?page=content&id=TECH105418&locale=en_US
Unfortunately the menu items referred in this post do not even show up on the SEP Manager. Is there a way to set up SEP Small Business to prevent this backup performance drop? Without addressing this issue SEP would not be usable on my server.
Comments 10 Comments • Jump to latest comment
I tried the disable for the duration of the backup, still very slow. In the end I had to uninstall the SEP from the server and just having it on the clients. This is a pre-sales trial so Symantec was not able to create a ticket for that problem, despite pleas from their sales person who wants to close a sale.
Any suggestion would be appreciated.
Ideally, adding the necessary exceptions should handle this. 2013 is cloud so it looks nothing like SEPM 11.x or 12.1
I've had pre-sales tickets created before so I'm not sure why that is happening.

Dictators never looked so good
Dictators have never looked so good.
Vladimir Putin is saving the United States from another Mideast military intervention. Bashar al-Assad promises to 'thin the herd' of jihadists and hold Syria together. And Egypt's new strongman, General Abdal Fattah el Sisi, says he is sorting out the Muslim Brotherhood. With each passing month in the Middle East, it seems, authoritarianism grows more attractive.
A Syria gift Obama must use wisely
In a sober, narrowly framed speech Tuesday night, President Barack Obama argued that deterring chemical weapons use – not regime change – remained the goal of any American military strike in Syria. Ob ama said he would delay a vote in Congress on the issue, seek a UN resolution requiring Assad to give up his chemical weapons and explore Russia's surprising – and probably - offer to help secure Syria's chemical weapons.

Update on Cherry Point Buffer Mitigation ProposalPermalink +
Fri, Dec 02, 2011, 3:08 pm // Wendy Harris
The County Planning Department just issued a memorandum to the County Planning Commission recommending removal of the Cherry Point Industrial area that is outside of the Birch Bay watershed from participation in the proposed Birch Bay watershed offsite mitigation program.
The Planning Staff's recommendation resulted from concerns that the proposal would permit buffer impacts for Cherry Point development, which I discussed in an earlier posting. Staff believes this recommended change will address community concerns, although it believes these concerns are unfounded because industrial uses do not qualify as low impact development, which is a prerequisite to use of the offsite mitigation program.
This revision, if approved by the Planning Commission after a public hearing on December 8, 2011, will not address community concerns. That portion of the Cherry Point Industrial area located within the Birch Bay watershed still remains in the proposal. And that portion happens to include the SSA project site and rail line.
Despite Planning Staff assurances that industrial development does not qualify for low impact development, and therefore, the offsite mitigation program, attorney Tom Ehrlichman of Salish Law, PLLC, remains concerned. He cites a loophole in the offsite mitigation proposal that might allow SSA to reduce stream and wetland buffers along rail lines within the Birch Bay watershed.
According to his analysis, SSA Project Information Documents reflect new rail line improvements for SSA's east and west loops, which traverse wetland and stream systems located within the Birch Bay watershed. This rail work will likely involve extensive disturbance of a major wetland system characterized under the Birch Bay Watershed Pilot Study as having "good restoration potential."
Mr. Ehrlichman notes that a reduction in buffers could be allowed even without engaging in low impact development. The offsite mitigation proposal provides that:
The Technical Administrator may waive this requirement [requiring LID before any buffer reductions would be allowed] on a case by case basis if s/he has reason to believe that the proposed development project has minimal effects on water quality and quantity.
The only criterion for judging whether this provision has been applied properly by staff is whether the project as a whole has "minimal effects," not whether the reduced buffer would have a minimal effect on the stream or wetland in question. Under such a loosely defined standard, it would be almost impossible to overturn the staff's discretion.
Mr. Ehrlichman calls upon the Planning Commission to revise the offsite mitigation program to specifically prohibit its use for industrial development, thus eliminating any potential loophole for SSA. I wholeheartedly agree. Since the offsite mitigation program states it is intended for residential and commercial development, this revision would add clarity to the proposal.
I do want to mention that, beyond problems surrounding SSA and Cherry Point, I remain deeply concerned about this proposal. I believe it will undermine our existing County Critical Area Ordinance and harm fish and wildlife by allowing development before replacing habitat, failing to require adequate mitigation fees, and failing to identify and protect habitat of greater conservation value. For a link to the proposed offsite mitigation proposal, and information on the public hearing, please see my earlier post.

UPDATE: Man and woman killed in motorcycle crash on Interstate 164
EVANSVILLE - A married couple died after their motorcycle crashed on I-164 on Saturday morning.
Vanderburgh County Sheriff's Office deputies who responded to the wreck near Covert Avenue said William Shadrick, 53, was dead at the scene. Cleta Shadrick, also 53, died shortly after arriving at St. Mary's Medical Center.
The couple was participating in a local charity poker run motorcycle ride, said Steve Lockyear, the chief deputy coroner.
A witness to the crash told deputies that he heard a "loud snapping sound come from the motorcycle just before an apparent tire blowout," according to a Sheriff's Office news release.
William Shadrick tried to control his black and orange 1984 Harley-Davidson, but it fell on its side, according to the release. The couple were thrown away from the motorcycle; Neither had been wearing a helmet.
The autopsies are scheduled Monday. Authorities do not suspect drug or alcohol use was a factor in the crash.
Lockyear said the couple were driving the speed limit and following all traffic laws.
"This looks like it is just a tragic accident," he said.
