Media Analysis: Damage has been done but Games can still sparkle

Published: 18 July 2012
It had all been going so well. The London Olympic park and village were built ahead of schedule. The stadium looked magnificent. Rehearsals went smoothly.
For months, Lord Coe, chairman of the London Organising Committee for the Olympic Games, was rarely pictured without a broad smile.
Both the Government and the Mayor's office were acutely aware of the benefits of being closely associated with an event that was attracting so much positive, even admiring, media coverage.
Then came G4S and suddenly everything changed. The company's failure to hire and train enough security guards, necessitating the deployment of 3500 extra troops to make up for the shortfall, turned positive into negative in an instant.
The scandal, coming hard on the heels of the Coalition's problems over House of Lords reform, provided the press with a further opportunity to open both barrels on the Government.
One typical example of the wrath was yesterday's parliamentary sketch by the Guardian's Simon Hoggart in which he wrote of "the most incompetent security firm in Britain" meeting "the most disorganised Government of recent times". It was one of several examples of how "the Olympics fiasco" (Daily Mail) was used to beat Prime Minister David Cameron, Home Secretary Theresa May and Culture, Media and Sport minister Jeremy Hunt. They are being held responsible for all manner of newly discovered Olympic sins.
The Mail revealed that cleaners are living 10 to a room in portable cabins. Almost every paper wrote about the dozens of American and Australian athletes who were given an unwanted tour of the capital when their buses from Heathrow got lost on the way to Stratford. The Sun used the Olympic rings in its "OOPS" splash headline yesterday over a catalogue of problems — "road chaos, bungling bus drivers and pouring rain".
Appositely, the Independent commented: "The host city began shakily in the most punishing 2012 event of all: the Olympic image hurdles." Shakily indeed but readers who took the trouble to read into the stories might well have noted that the so-called chaos and shambles could all have been presented rather differently.
After all, as the Financial Times reported, the expected hold-ups at Heathrow passport control didn't happen. The airport survived its busiest day ever, proving its mettle, said the FT, by delivering "hundreds of Olympians from gate to ground transport with speed and efficiency".
In fact, there was plenty of goodwill despite the alleged horror stories. For instance, the Daily Telegraph quoted the Australian team's media liaison officer as describing their bus driver as "a terrific and friendly guy from Dublin" despite getting hopelessly lost.
Like others, the Aussie official appeared entirely unconcerned about the hiccup and I read several quotations about the Olympic village being described as "heaven" once people arrived. The Telegraph, aware of the mounting criticism, decided to row against the tide with its leading article.
While accepting security and transport problems, it said the Games were: "One of the most complex logistical exercises Britain has undertaken. We are not merely hosting the world's greatest sporting event, but doing so in a metropolis whose ageing infrastructure is already under colossal strain."
But some international damage to the image of the Games — and London — has been done. A headline in France's major daily, Le Monde, spoke of "chaotic management" and Paris-based business paper, Les Echos, observed that "what was supposed to have been a shop window for G4S is turning into a fiasco."
Germany's Der Spiegel, after reporting that British Marines were humiliated by being required to cancel their holidays and act as "pocket friskers", added a sarcastic line about the "militarisation" of the Games — inappropriate given the security flaws exposed by the massacre at the 1972 Munich Olympics.
Across the Atlantic, the headline over a New York Times report about incidents casting a pall over the Games mentioned "clouds over London".
And ABC News, in its article on "potential cracks in the $2 billion Olympic security plan," cited an independent auditor's report that claimed "there are many new, hastily trained guards at the airport who sometimes do not question travellers as diligently as they should".
All is not lost. Weather experts predict the rain will soon stop. Then, maybe, the headlines will be sunnier too.

Officials at iboats.com say replacing boat furniture is one of the best ways to increase the value and appeal of an older boat
Boating season has begun and replacing boat furniture this year is one of the best ways to increase the value and appeal of an older boat. Whether preparing to sell a used boat or simply looking for an economical way to get that new boat look and feel, officials at iboats.com say refurbishing a boat's interior is the answer to save money and increase the value and enjoyment of an older boat. Whether selling or renovating, these boating professionals say upgrading the boat seats may be the perfect option for a boater on a budget.
For years, pontoon boat owners have been known for replacing entire seat layouts to revitalize older pontoon boats. However, this isn't just an option for pontoon owners. In recent years quality marine seat manufacturers have begun to offer matching boat furniture pieces for bass boats, ski boats, offshore boats and many other boat styles. It is now a considerably easier process to replace old, faded, worn out boat seats by choosing from a wide selection of seat styles and colors.
The U.S. Coast Guard reports over 17-million registered new and used boats in the United States, with approximately 81% of the boats being 5 years or older. According to Info-Link, which monitors the recreational boating industry, the average age of pre-owned boats has grown over the past few years from 15 to 20 years old.
Installing new seats on a boat is a fairly straightforward project that most boaters feel comfortable tackling as a do-it-yourself project. Different tools are required depending on the seat style being replaced, but typically the most advanced tool that is needed is an electric drill.

Support for Motherless Daughters
The Motherless Daughters Ministry, Inc. is a Christian organization dedicated to serving women who have lost or missed the nurturing care of a mother.
A motherless daughter can be a woman who has experienced mother loss through death of her mother, either by early loss before her 20's or later loss after her 20's. A motherless daughter could be a woman who has experienced a mother who may have quit nurturing her at an earlier age, and then she loses her mother again through death as an adult. This is defined as a double loss. A motherless daughter might be a woman who has a living mother but has never experienced her mother's nurturing care. Which one of these defines you?

Penguins' Jokinen registers hat trick in loss
Penguins/NHL Videos
Forward Beau Bennett seemed to have the upper hand on playing with center Evgeni Malkin and right wing James Neal on the Penguins' second line.
Then Jussi Jokinen received a look.
Jokinen registered a natural hat trick in the second period of a 5-3 exhibition loss to the Columbus Blue Jackets on Saturday at Consol Energy Center.
Malkin and Neal each produced two assists on Jokinen's scoring barrage.
It was otherwise an indifferent exhibition appearance for the Penguins, who are now 1-3 in the preseason. They next play Monday at home against the defending Stanley Cup champion Chicago before finishing the preseason Wednesday in Detroit.
Goalie Marc-Andre Fleury played the entire game, allowing three goals on the first six shots before playing significantly better in the game's second half.
Columbus' Boone Jenner scored twice, including the game-winner.

Outgoing 10th Judicial District DA Steve Bebb issued a statement Monday hitting the Chattanooga Times Free Press for "a disgraceful witch hunt" against him.
He also hit state legislators "who put personal and professional gain over honor and fulfilling their oaths of offices."
The state Board of Professional Responsibility on March 14 dismissed complaints against DA Bebb.
District Attorney Bebb, a former criminal court judge, said, "In August of 2012, the Chattanooga Times Free Press published a series of articles which were comprised primarily of rumor, hearsay and anonymous sources claiming that I, and personnel in my office, was corrupt. These articles were picked up by other news outlets and reported throughout Tennessee.
"One of the primary sources of the Times Free Press articles was Duff Brumley, a former Cleveland Police Department officer who was fired for policy violations. State Senator Mike Bell and State Rep. Eric Watson were also both quoted in the articles. Mr. Brumley and Senator Bell are related by marriage, a fact that was not reported in the initial articles. Mr. Brumley has been a vocal supporter of Rep. Watson's run for Sheriff of Bradley County. The General Assembly, rather than see the allegations for the smear campaign it was, began spending taxpayer dollars in an attempt to remove me from office.
"Investigations were commenced by the Tennessee Bureau of Investigation, the State Attorney General, and the Tennessee Comptroller's Office. None of these agencies charged me with a crime which would have given me the opportunity to confront my accusers in open court. Instead the Attorney General published a report criticizing me and my office. That report was subsequently submitted to the Board of Professional Responsibility along with complaints from Speaker of the House Beth Harwell and State Senator Brian Kelsey.
"In 2014 the Chattanooga Times Free Press published another article quoting State Rep. Mike Carter discussing the Board's investigation. Representative Carter made several statements which were not true and basically told the Board to find that I had acted unethically. To their credit the Board withstood the legislative pressure and dismissed the complaints on March 14.
"I do not know how much taxpayer dollars were spent in these investigations but every elected or appointed official that took part in this entire disgraceful witch hunt should give an accounting to the public. After the Chattanooga Times Free Press published the articles, the Cleveland Daily Banner, which actually engages in journalism, attempted to gain access to all of the Tennessee Bureau Investigation files dealing with the allegations contained in the articles. The Cleveland Daily Banner attempted to get an order so that the public could read for themselves what happened rather than relying on yellow journalism and they were blocked by the Attorney General's Office. I have answered every question asked of me and I was prepared to answer those questions under oath. All I asked was the opportunity to confront those anonymous sources hiding behind the Times Free Press 'investigative journalism' that gave the General Assembly the pretext to try to remove me from office.
"I served as a judge for 23 years, four months and two days and my honor and integrity was never questioned. I ran on and am serving only one term as District Attorney. I am ending my career in public office in the next few months and I am 72 years old. I have been lied about and had those lies published in every corner of this state all to achieve the ends of career politicians who put personal and professional gain over honor and fulfilling their oaths of office. The people of Tennessee deserve better from their legislators."

Artisan: Tuareg peoples, Africa
Tuareg is a term used to identify numerous groups of nomadic peoples of the Sahara Desert who share a common language and history.
The Tuareg are matrilineal, meaning that issues such as inheritance and nobility are passed down through the mother's side. Because of this, Tuareg women hold unusually autonomous positions in their society. Since they travel much of the year, the Tuareg don't carry many large possessions, instead concentrating the majority of their wealth into small items such as jewelry.
For millennia, Tuareg caravans have crossed the Sahara, connecting the Mediterranean coast of Africa to great trade centers on the southern edge of the desert. The Tuareg people continue to make jewelry and crafts in much the same way that they have for generations.

JACKSON, Mich., Aug. 28, 2014 /PRNewswire/ -- Michigan homeowners may still receive help paying their heating bills if they file by Sept. 30 for a State of Michigan Home Heating Credit. Residents can qualify for the assistance if their homestead is in Michigan, they own or rent their home, apartment or mobile home, and meet income guidelines (see link below).
Media toolkit
MORE ASSISTANCE INFO AVAILABLE AT: www.consumersenergy.com/assistance
"Consumers Energy encourages all residents who qualify to apply for a Home Heating Credit by Sept. 30, because it is one of the few funding resources still available to help pay last winter's heating bills," said Whitney Skeans, customer assistance manager. "The average credit equals about two months of heating costs, so this help can certainly help make energy more affordable for those struggling to make ends meet."
Funded by the federal Low-Income Home Energy Assistance Program (LIHEAP), the Home Heating Credit is based on household size and income. It can be applied to all heating costs, including propane and purchased firewood, as well as natural gas and electric. Applicants do not need to file a state tax return to receive this credit.
Since January, more than 79,000 Consumers Energy customers have received a credit averaging about $141 per household. Last year 367,000 Michigan residents received more than $45 million dollars in aid through the Home Heating Credit program.
The Home Heating Credit Claim form (MI-1040CR-7) is generally available wherever other tax forms are provided. Forms can also be obtained from the Michigan Department of Treasury at (517) 636-4486, at www.michigan.gov/taxes, at Consumers Energy bill payment offices, at www.consumersenergy.com/assistance or by calling the utility at (800) 477-5050. For residents in Wayne, Oakland, Macomb and Livingston Counties, free filing assistance is still available through the Accounting Aid Society (866) 673-0873.
Consumers Energy, Michigan's largest utility, is the principal subsidiary of CMS Energy (NYSE: CMS), providing natural gas and electricity to 6.5 million of the state's 10 million residents in all 68 Lower Peninsula counties.

سكس ايطالي ساخج سكس صور متحركه A single instance of a program is called an episode, although particularly in the USA this is sometimes also called a show or program, and in the UK/�ire a programme. Right in the nick of time, Ichigo and his siblings are not aided by a Shinigami Death God named Kuchiki Rukia, whose responsibility it is not to send good spirits Pluses to the afterlife known as Soul Society, and to purify Hollows and send them up to Soul Society. Many of the prime-time comedy shows and Saturday morning cartoons will be digitally remastered for United States television around mid-May 2008, as there will be more original and re-issued DVD sets of television programs containing either entire seasons or complete series runs to come in the future. Photomatics are also another option when creating test spots, but instead of using drawn artwork, there is also a shoot in which hundreds of digital photographs are also taken. A one-off broadcast may, again particularly in the USA and USA-influenced countries, be called a special, or particularly in the UK a special episode.
سكس صور متحركه The large amount of images to choose from may also make the process of creating a test commercial a bit easier, as opposed to creating an animatic, because changes to drawn art take time and money. سكس ولد ينيك اخته غصاب Today, advertisements play a role in most television programming, such that each hour of programming can contain up to 15 minutes of advertisements in some countries.

Aaron Vaughn's Wedding Band: Navy SEAL Widow Asks Houston If You've Seen It
Kimberly Vaughn, a former Washington Redskins cheerleader who married a Navy SEAL who died in Afghanistan this summer, was visiting the Houston area this weekend before flying back home to DC.
Somewhere along the way, she lost her husband's wedding band, which he had given her t owear while he was deployed. She wore it on her thumb, and it wasn't until she was in the Charlotte, NC airport making a connection that she realized it was gone.
It could be in the Super 8 she stayed in in Deer Park, at Bush Intercontinental, in the rental car she drove or the planes she rode on, or anywhere.
She's started a Facebook campaign to find it.
It has her name engraved inside.
"No word on the ring ... yet," she updated people recently. "I'm still hopeful! For those who have asked, yes, I've rechecked the diaper bag and purse SEVERAL times as my father has too. I just continue to pray that perhaps a member of the cleaning crew has found it...or something!"
"It doesn't mean a lot to other people but it's quite a treasure to me," she told the Associated Press on Tuesday.
Her husband Aaron Vaughn, who she married in 2008, was one of 30 American troops killed ina helicopter crash in Afghanistan in August.
So keep your eyes peeled, Houston. The ring is somewhere.

The NHL returns from its self-imposed exile in stupidity Saturday. Owners, players and commissioner Gary Bettman are hoping some temporary ticket discounts, souvenir markdowns and an apology published in newspapers in all 30 markets will be enough to win back all of the fans hacked off by an intensely selfish four-month work stoppage.
Good luck with that.
Like the two previous lockouts — in 1994-95 and 2004-05 — it's going to take more than a few acts of predictable penance to get people back through the turnstiles. The NHL lost the public's trust — not to mention roughly $1 billion in revenue — with the work stoppage and it's going to take years for both to be reconciled.
The impact of the NHL restart has already been felt locally. Former University of Wisconsin players Adam Burish, Brian Elliott, Tom Gilbert, Joe Pavelski, Craig Smith and Ryan Suter have left their Madison-area homes for training camps scattered from Nashville and the Twin Cities to St. Louis and San Jose.
In roughly 10 days, Burish, Elliott, Gilbert and Smith went from being semi-regulars at UW practices to relocating and gearing up for the frenetic grind of 48 regular-season games in 99 days.
For all its flaws, the abbreviated NHL regular season should be intriguing theater for local fans that are still onboard, especially those whose interest is tied to the latest wave of UW players in the league.
A year after defenseman Davis Drewiske helped the Los Angeles Kings to the Stanley Cup — becoming the 13th former Badgers player to experience that feat — it looks like he has some intriguing challengers.
St. Louis is a trendy pick to come out of the Western Conference and win the Cup in part because Elliott and Jaroslav Halak comprise an elite goaltending tandem. Elliott, who won an NCAA title with UW in 2006, led the NHL in goals-against average (1.56) and save ratio (.940) last season.
The New York Rangers are among the favorites to emerge from the Eastern Conference mainly because they traded for elite winger Rick Nash last summer, but their lineup has two former Badgers as go-to guys: defenseman Ryan McDonagh and center Derek Stepan.
No NHL club made a bigger offseason splash than Minnesota when it signed Suter and best buddy Zach Parise, a top-shelf winger, to matching 13-year, $98-million free agent deals. The Wild will open the season with three former UW standouts: Suter and Gilbert on defense and winger Dany Heatley.
No single rookie has raised more eyebrows in the past eight months than defenseman Justin Schultz, a two-time All-American who left UW after his junior season in 2011-12. He eschewed signing with Anaheim, the club that drafted him in the second round in 2008, to cast his lot with Edmonton. Then he proceeded to obliterate the American Hockey League with 18 goals and 48 points in 34 games. Now he's viewed as a prime Rookie of the Year candidate whose presence on the blue line and power play gives the Oilers high hopes.
The last time Burish and Pavelski were teammates they skated around the Bradley Center in Milwaukee carrying the NCAA championship trophy in 2006. Now they're reunited in San Jose, a dark horse Cup contender. Burish, who won a Cup with Chicago in 2010, is hoping his mojo rubs off on the Sharks.
Carolina (defenseman Jamie McBain), Detroit (defenseman Brendan Smith), Florida (winger Jack Skille) and Nashville (center Craig Smith) are expected to be in the playoff mix, as well.
Now that a forgettable NHL story has run its course, UW products are in a position to write something more intriguing.

text: Home > Lifestyle > Woman > News 11 December 2012 Commitment-phobia blamed on parents A study of the romantic history of 58 adults aged 22-28 found that those who avoid committed romantic relationships are likely a product of unresponsive parenting. 0 Quiz Is my diet healthy? » Ask Ask the CyberShrink » Ask Is my child eating correctly? » Finding the perfect bra How to look fab at 40! A study of the romantic history of 58 adults aged 22-28 found that those who avoid committed romantic relationships are likely a product of unresponsive or over-intrusive parenting, says Dr Sharon Dekel, a psychologist and researcher at the Bob Shapell School of Social Work. Dr Dekel and her fellow researcher, Prof. Barry Farber of Columbia University, found that 22.4% of study participants could be categorised as "avoidant" when it came to their relationships, demonstrating anxiety about intimacy, reluctance to commit to or share with their partner, or a belief that their partner was "clingy," for example. Overall, they reported less personal satisfaction in their relationships than participants who were determined to be secure in their relationships. The goal of the study, published in the Journal of Nervous and Mental Disease, was to address the widespread research debate on "avoidant attachment" — whether such behaviour is due to innate personality traits, such as being more of a loner, or is a delayed reaction to unmet childhood needs. Dr Dekel and Prof. Farber found that while both secure and avoidant individuals expressed a desire for intimacy in relationships, avoidant individuals are conflicted about this need due to the complicated parent-child dynamics they experienced when young. Taking lessons from childhood The premise of their study, says Dr Dekel, is based on attachment theory, which posits that during times of stress, infants seek proximity to their caregivers for emotional support. However, if the parent is unresponsive or overly intrusive, the child learns to avoid their caregiver. The researchers believe that adult relationships reflect these earlier experiences. When infantile needs are met in childhood, that person approaches adult relationships with more security, seeking intimacy, sharing, caring, and fun, says Dr Dekel. The researchers labelled these relationships "two-adult" models, in which participants equally share desires with their partner. Avoidant individuals, however, are more likely to adopt an "infant-mother" intimacy model. When they enter relationships, there is an attempt to satisfy their unmet childhood needs, Dr Dekel explains. "Avoidant individuals are looking for somebody to validate them, accept them as they are, can consistently meet their needs and remain calm — including not making a fuss about anything or getting caught up in their own personal issues." The tendency to avoid dependence on a partner is a defence mechanism rather than an avoidance of intimacy, she adds. Hope for the commitment-phobic? It's important to study this group further because beyond their severely diminished ability to conduct satisfying romantic relationships, they are also less happy in their lives and are more likely to suffer illnesses than their secure counterparts, notes Dr Dekel. Psychologists need a better understanding of what these insecure individuals need, perhaps through more sophisticated neurological studies, she suggests. There is also the question of whether or not these attachment styles are permanent. Dr Dekel believes that there are some experiences which can help people develop more secure relationship styles. There are hints that after experiencing a traumatic event, survivors show a greater ability and desire to form closer relationships, Dr Dekel observed in a previous study in the Journal of Psychological Trauma, completed during her post-doctoral work with Prof. Zahava Solomon. As an expert in the field of trauma recovery and post-traumatic growth who has worked with patients in Israel and abroad to overcome traumatic events, she is beginning to study this phenomenon in greater depth.

Now that it's all over, maybe we can return to some semblance of reality.
To help us get there, and before LeBron James becomes Public Enemy No. 2 in the next SportsNation poll -- which seems to be happening in the aftermath of "The Decision" -- let's clear up a few things. It should send us on our way back to our normal existence.
One: This has been done before in other sports. (And no one had a problem with it.)
Two: We've seen this happen before in the NBA. (And no one had a problem with it.)
Three: Michael Jordan might have done the exact same thing. (But we'll never know.)
When Alex Rodriguez was playing in Texas (or, for that matter, in Seattle), he was considered the best player in baseball. He was very much the LeBron James of his game. He had lived up to and surpassed expectations. Still, he eventually realized he couldn't do solo all the things he wanted to get done, so he went to a team that wasn't his. He went to a place where he wouldn't be "The Man," at least not at first. He "took his talents" to New York. He became a Yankee, on Derek Jeter's team.
So the question is this: What's the difference with LeBron? Where is the profound difference between what A-Rod did in 2004 and what LeBron did Thursday night?
Here's the answer: Other than LeBron's personal connection to the city he left, nothing.
Again, this has been done before.
In 1982, Moses Malone was considered by many to be the best player in basketball, certainly one of the best of his generation, and he was still in his prime. But just after he collected the second of his three MVP awards and only one year removed from playing in the NBA Finals with the Houston Rockets, he became a restricted free agent. With his team apparently regressing (the Rockets went from their Finals appearance in '81 to out in the first round the next season), Moses decided to leave Houston and go play for the Philadelphia 76ers, a team that already had one of the other best players in the game and of his generation. A guy named Julius Erving.
See where this is going?
Dwyane Wade is Dr. J, LeBron is Moses and Chris Bosh is Andrew Toney in this analogy. The Sixers went on to win the chip the season Moses joined them, going down in history as one of the greatest teams of all time. And no one said anything about damage to Malone's legacy.
Again, we've seen this happen before.
Too many times since Thursday night, I've heard people express some form of the following sentiment about LeBron: Real ballers don't join the best; they try to beat the best. More than that, I've heard people (including on "SportsCenter") use MJ as an analogy, suggesting that LeBron just did what MJ would have never done: leave the Bulls back in the day to play for the Pistons because, at least before 1990, he couldn't beat Detroit. They're calling LeBron's decision a "punk" move.
That notion needs to be squashed right here. Fact is, Jordan never had the opportunity to test the free-agent market the way LeBron did. Jordan signed his rookie contract, then, three years into it, the Bulls put an eight-year, $25 million deal on the table that he signed and rode out until well after he'd been stacking rings on his fingers.
Bottom line: Jordan was never in the same position LeBron was. Never. And if MJ's long career in Chicago is going to be used to make a point about LeBron's decision to leave Cleveland, that not-so-little factor can't be ignored.
We'll never really know.
So before anybody else goes all Dan Gilbert on LeBron, take all that into consideration. And we can carry on with our lives.

Halifax budget rises, but tax rates stay same
SoVaNow.com / March 13, 2014By a unanimous vote, Halifax Council on Tuesday night approved an amended town budget that is 13 percent higher than prior anticipated spending levels. The budget will go from $1,406,354 to $1,593,777.
Most of the change comes from a VDOT grant for the Banister River Gateway Project. In addition to the grant funding, the town anticipates slightly higher revenues from law enforcement funds, fire funds, personal property taxes, the meals tax and business license fees.
On the expense side, the budget anticipates an increase of $9,000 for the fire department and furthers accounts for an earlier payment on the town's new trash truck (in this fiscal year prior to the end of June) and the earlier first payment on the new police cars. Repair expenses to the municipal building, including an ADA compliant bathroom, also were increased. However, nothing in the amended budget affects tax rates paid by residents of the town. All rates will stay the same as the current year rates.
In other business, Council approved the recommendation of the Halifax County Service Authority to appoint Kathy Bane to represent the Town on the Authority, taking over the seat of retiring member Frank Wray.
Members also set a public hearing focusing on interim financing for the Banister River Gateway Project at 6 p.m. on Wednesday evening, March 26 prior to the meeting of the Town's Planning Commission.
Earlier in the work session Council heard more plans for the upcoming Halicraft Art Festival set for April 5 and the April 26 Earth Day celebration.
They also heard from Town Manager Carl Espy about plans to ask the highway department to look at taking into VDOT's secondary road system the Cemetery Access Road that veers off Gatha's Trail and leads to the church cemetery. Council has been working with members of the churches to get the road, which is used a great deal oftentimes in bad weather, improved.
Council also received a report from Otis Vaughan, director of General Properties for Halifax County, about the lack of work that has been carried out on several properties which the Town had earlier cited for violations of the Town Code.
Mayor Dick Moore also advised Council members of his research into the cost of leave collection in the Town. He presented three options, the cost of purchasing a truck, the cost of converting the Town's old trash truck and the cost of hiring a private contractor to pick up the leaves. Moore suggested that Council members look at the figures and discuss the matter at a later date.

Ghana's mixed fortune as a dumping ground for e-waste
27 Mar 2013 16:25 GMT | Asia Pacific, China, Malaysia
China has deployed some of its most sophisticated Navy vessels to the eastern coast of Malaysia.
Wednesday's report from the Xinhua news agency is thought to be a play by Beijing to reinforce territorial claims to part of the South China Sea.
Al Jazeera's Rob McBride, reporting from Hong Kong, said military exercises, beginning on Saturday, have "taken many Asian neighbours and military analysts by surprise".
The exercises included the landing of amphibious craft just off the James Shoal, 80 kilometres off the Malaysian coast.
The James Shoal is China's most southerly territorial claim.
It is among several disputed parts of the South China Sea, including the Spratly Islands, that the People's Republic says belong to Beijing.
Our correspondent said the exercise culminated in a ceremony on James Shoal where soldiers and marines promised "to defend Chinese sovereignty".
The move, said Al Jazeera's McBride, could also be Beijing's answer to Washington's so-called "pivot strategy", which would see the US move more resources to East Asia.
Vietnamese boat 'attack'
Vietnam had accused China of opening fire on a fishing boat in the disputed South China Sea on Monday, but Beijing has denied the charges.The Chinese navy stated that the claim was a "sheer fabrication".
"There is no such things that Chinese vessel fired with weapons or the Vietnames boats caught fire," a Chinese naval official told the state-owned Xinhua news agency.
Vietnam's foreign ministry had said on Monday that a fishing boat was "chased and shot at by a Chinese vessel" and called the incident a "serious violation of its sovereignty".
