Election 2012: Gerken running against former co-worker MarshallWritten by Brigitta Burks | News Editor | email@example.com
Republican John Marshall is vying with former Jeep co-worker Gerken for his Lucas County Commissioner's seat Nov. 6. Gerken, a Democrat, is president of the Board of Commissioners. He has been on the board since 2005 and was on City Council for eight years, beginning in 1996.
"I'm not afraid to take on the big issues on City Council or on County Commissioners. Lucas County's a great place, but it can only get better," he said.
Gerken, a University of Toledo graduate, worked for Jeep/DaimlerChrysler for 30 years before retiring. He was Marshall's union steward around 1985, when Marshall worked at the plant for a short stint.
Marshall said he is running because of the "cronyism, the unfairness, sometimes vindictiveness in the office."
Pete Gerken
Regional cooperation is at an all-time high, Gerken said, claiming it as one of his major accomplishments and also citing the establishment of the Huntington Center.
If re-elected, Gerken said, "I hope to continue to help improve the job market," adding that he speaks to employers "constantly" about their needs.
He said the biggest disappointment during his tenure has been, "The fact that we have been so trained on balancing our budget that we haven't been able to give our workers a raise in six years now. I wish we could be a little more generous and help out our strong workforce."
"We might see that change as we're looking at some casino revenue come in finally," he added.
The commissioner also said that the commissioners need to evaluate the levy system. This year, there are seven levies on the Lucas County ballot.
"It's time for the commissioners to have this conversation about if there isn't a better way to do it," he said. "This ballot is very levy-heavy and for the first time, there will be real winners and losers when there shouldn't be."
One possibility is an umbrella levy or combining the "back of the house operations" like the human resources and administration of different agencies, Gerken said, adding that the board still needs to evaluate ideas.
John Marshall
Marshall is a U.S. Air Force veteran who has owned several small businesses, including Marshall Windows & Door. The three-time cancer survivor said he was inspired to run after some personal run-ins with Gerken.
"This is not like I have a vendetta against Pete, I don't," Marshall said.
After being told he needed a sanitary sewer in his house during his second bout with cancer, Marshall asked the health department and other officials if he could put the $14,500 payment on his taxes. The group, which, according to Marshall included Gerken, said no.
Gerken said he wasn't sure of the incident Marshall was referring to.
Marshall, who worked his way up to end-of-the-line supervisor at Jeep, said he was also turned off by Gerken's attitude at the plant.
"All this time, my steward Pete Gerken is telling me, 'You can't work so hard. You're making everybody else look bad,'" Marshall said.
Gerken said in response, "He can't verify that and I certainly have no recollection of that."
He added that during a round of layoffs Gerken was "saving his own butt" while Marshall had to let workers know they were being let go.
"When I saw what Pete did to me, what he did to those people at Jeep, I started looking around and he carried those things to his political life," Marshall said.
Gerken said he is proud of his record at Jeep and added that he, too, had been laid off by the car company before.
"Mr. Marshall is in some desperate attempt to recreate history," he said.
If terms of potential plans for office, Marshall said, "Just like Mitt Romney, my No. 1 goal is jobs."
Area manufacturers stand to profit from Marcellus shale, located 90 minutes east, Marshall said.
"We are the center geographically of what could be the largest logistical center in the United States," he said.
Marshall said he is also working to bring a major airline to Toledo, but declined to reveal which one. He has been in contact with the airline, but not its CEO.
"I don't have a high enough pay grade to really be talking to those people yet. If I was commissioner, I'm sure I could fly out there and get an appointment," he said.

Mining Accident: Haul Truck, A test - Video.
Video Description
Mining Truck Accident.
Mining Accident
A mining accident is an accident that occurs in the process of mining minerals. Thousands of miners die from mining accidents each year, especially in the process of coal mining and hard rock mining. Most of the deaths today occur in developing countries.
Mining accidents can have a variety of causes, including leaks of poisonous gases such as hydrogen sulphide or explosive natural gases especially firedamp or methane, dust explosions, collapsing of mine stopes, mining-induced seismicity, flooding, or general mechanical errors from improperly used or malfunctioning mining equipment (such as safety lamps or electrical equipment). Use of improper explosives underground can also trigger methane and coal dust explosions.
Wikipedia, Mining
Off-road dump truck: Haul truck
Off-road dump trucks more closely resemble heavy construction equipment or engineering vehicles than they do highway dump trucks. They are used strictly off-road for mining and heavy dirt hauling jobs. The term 'Dump' Truck is not generally used by the mining industry, or by the manufacturers that build these machines. The more appropriate US term for this strictly off road vehicle is, 'Haul' truck and the equivalent European term is 'Dumper'.

With collective bargaining fading into the background in the minds of voters, Barrett's campaign has focused much of its recent criticism of Walker on the state's lagging job numbers. But the poll also delivered good news for Walker's campaign on that front. When asked which candidate would be better for creating jobs in the state, 48 percent of registered voters picked Walker, compared to 41 percent for Barrett. Despite the political unrest in the Badger State over the last year, 50 percent of registered voters said they feel things in Wisconsin are going in the right direction, while 45 percent said things have gotten off on the wrong track. The Marquette poll, which was conducted May 9 through May 12, surveyed 704 registered voters and carries a margin of error of plus or minus 3.7 percentage points. The subsample of 600 likely recall voters has a margin of error of plus or minus 4 percentage points. The recall election is June 5.

This year's Kingsport Fun Fest was both fun and festive for the members of the dine-around bunch. Lots of fun, lots of things to do and of course, lots of things to taste. The shank end of our day, however, found us wanting something more substantial than corn dogs and funnel cakes for supper.
Trust the Carnivore to suggest we try The Chop House just over the hill on North Eastman Road. Now, Kingsport's dining scene is undergoing as big a change as that in Johnson City. The Stone Drive "Corridor" is undergoing a makeover of epic proportions, with spillover onto North Eastman Road heading toward Fort Henry Drive.
J. Michael Connors' Chop House is smack in the middle of this food-based turmoil, a quiet cove of culinary perfection that has called Kingsport home for the past 20 years. While known for their beef, The Chop House does pork, chicken and seafood equally well, and has a well-stocked bar fronted by a knowledgeable pair of barkeeps if your meal requires a suitable libation derived from grape or grain.
We were fortunate to get a table on short notice, and as our server Kristin took our drink orders we began our inquest on the Chop House's menu. The Dieter spotted her favorite, the Chop House Pork Chop ($15), a 12-ounce thick bone-in chop garnished with cinnamon apples, a baked sweet potato and a bowl of the Soup of the Day — Chicken Gumbo ($5).
The Retiree wasn't doing meat this evening, opting for the Fresh Vegetable Plate ($10), and choosing a baked sweet potato, fresh asparagus, creamed spinach and sugar snap peas. My dining partner, still on her all-things-chicken kick, ordered the Tennessee Country Chicken ($14) with a Caesar Salad ($3.50) for openers.
I'd been craving a Chop House Caesar salad myself. Then I discovered that The Chop House did Homemade Blue Crab Cakes, and promptly ordered a two-cake serving ($15) with rice pilaf and sugar snap peas as my side orders. The Carnivore was in his element, lingering long over the menu, discussing the merits of sirloin over T-bone over New York strip before deciding on the 7-ounce Horseradish-Crusted Sirloin ($17) and a loaded baked potato to go with it.
Kristin brought our salads and soup along with a basket of The Chop House bread and cinnamon butter. The Caesar salads were crisp, cold and refreshing after a hot day spent at Fun Fest. Though mine had a bit too much Caesar dressing for my taste, the fresh-grated Reggiano Parmesan cheese and homemade herbed croutons made everything right.
The Dieter's Chicken Gumbo had chunks of chicken, okra, tomato and green pepper in a gumbo soup thick enough to stand a spoon up. It was delicious to the bottom of the bowl.
Though tasty, my crab cakes were a disappointment, being more cake than crab; I was looking forward to doing battle with the Blue Crab foe once more. Still, the rice pilaf made a proper accompaniment, and sugar snaps are always good with any seafood dish.
My dining partner's Tennessee Country Chicken featured a chicken breast stuffed with smoked ham and topped with aged melted cheddar cheese. A baked sweet potato of moderate size with a smidge of butter and some steamed broccoli florets completed the dish, all of it excellent and worthy of being a Chop House specialty dish.
The Retiree's Vegetable Plate was well-prepared, especially the asparagus, lightly steamed and still crunchy, while the creamed spinach would have made a great appetizer dish with tortilla chips or pretzels for dipping. The Dieter's Pork Chop arrived to "oohs" and "ahhs" from the rest of us; a heroic thick-cut grilled chop plated with a baked sweet potato tucked demurely to one side. Mentally waving bye-bye to her diet, she carved a morsel of juicy goodness from her quarry, took a bite, chewed and swallowed. A brief smile flickered across her face, and she took another.
Centered on his plate, the Carnivore's Horseradish Crusted Sirloin was a 7-ounce mesa of beef dusted with a spicy snowcap of horseradish. With a quick turn-up of shirtsleeves, our friend picked up his knife and fork and strode forth into heroic struggle between man and beef. For a while, it looked as though the beef might prove too much for one sitting, but the Carnivore has never had use for a doggie bag. I managed to get a taste of the steak (sadly, mostly horseradish) and pronounced it delicious.
The Carnivore wasn't doing much pronouncing, though he did get a refill or two on his water glass. Horseradish will do that to you. He finished with a quick run round the plate with a piece of bread, swabbing up every drop of juice and fragment of sirloin. A quick pop into the mouth evoked a smiling, satisfied "Ahh." High praise, indeed.
The Chop House pays particular attention to families with children in tow, and can accommodate persons with food allergies or diet stipulations. Lunch is served until 3 p.m. with larger meal portions available if needed. Desserts are available from $4; we decided to leave them for a return visit. The Chop House is also available in several other cities across the South. There's even a location up north in Ohio, a fine gesture of Tennessee and Southern hospitality toward our Northern cousins.

Hyperbaric Oxygen May Help in treating Aggressive Brain Cancer
Unique Clinical Trial at LI Brain Tumor Center Looks at Augmenting
Standard Treatment for Malignant Glioblastoma
ROCKVILLE, CENTRE, N.Y., July 20, 2011 – In a unique study, researchers at The Long Island Brain Tumor Center at Neurological Surgery, P.C. are examining whether hyperbaric oxygen therapy – breathing pure oxygen while in a pressurized chamber – may prove a useful addition to the current standard of care for patients newly diagnosed with glioblastoma, an aggressive brain cancer. The Phase II study is currently enrolling participants, and is being conducted at Neurological Surgery, P.C. offices in Nassau and Suffolk Counties, New York, as well as at Winthrop University Hospital, Mineola, NY.
"Malignant glioblastoma is the most aggressive type of brain cancer, and it
Paul Duic, M.D.
generally has a poor prognosis," says neuro-oncologist J. Paul Duic, MD, principal investigator on the study and co-director of The Long Island Brain Tumor Center. "Novel treatment strategies are clearly needed."
Malignant brain tumors are the second leading cause of cancer deaths in people under 35, and the fourth leading cause of cancer death in people under 54. Glioblastoma is the most common and most aggressive primary (non-metastatic) type of brain cancer. Median survival for glioblastomas is 12-14 months, and only 26 percent of patients survive two years.
Patients enrolled in the study must be newly diagnosed with malignant glioblastoma, and have previously received brain tumor surgery, but not radiation or chemotherapy. All patients in the study will receive the current standard of care for those newly diagnosed with glioblastoma – temozolomide (Temodar®) plus radiation therapy – as well as hyperbaric oxygen therapy.
Jai Grewal, MD
"We know that these brain tumors prefer a low-oxygen metabolic state, and there is evidence that this metabolic state may contribute to the tumors' ability to resist the effects of radiation therapy and chemotherapy," says Jai Grewal, MD, sub-investigator on the study and co-director of The Long Island Brain Tumor Center. "We want to see whether increasing the oxygen concentration of the tumor increases the effectiveness of standard therapy."
Drs. Duic and Grewal are also interested in evaluating the effect of this treatmenton patients' quality of life and stress levels. Participants will be asked to complete several brief questionnaires.
Hyperbaric oxygen has shown some benefit in pre-clinical studies, and in two recent Japanese clinical trials. In the first clinical trial, published in 2006, Ogawa and colleagues found that patients who received radiation therapy immediately after hyperbaric oxygenation, combined with chemotherapy, had longer survival rates, relatively few adverse events and no late toxicities. In 2007, Kohshi and colleagues reported additional survival benefits with minimal additional toxicity for previously treated high-grade glioma patients who were given hyperbaric oxygen combined with stereotactic radiosurgery.
In the current study, which is the only one of its type underway in the U.S., patients will first receive blood and medical imaging tests. They will then be given six weeks of hyperbaric treatments combined with radiation (Monday-Friday) and chemotherapy with temozolomide, which they will take at home daily. They will then have four weeks off treatment, then resumetaking temozolomide on a monthly basis.
Study participants will receive the experimental hyperbaric therapy prior to each radiation treatment during the initial six weeks of treatment. During the hyperbaric treatment, the patient will lie on a stretcher in a hyperbaric chamber and breathe oxygen at greater than normal atmospheric pressure. Blood sugar measurements will be taken, and medical imaging tests will also be done.
Patient participation in the study lasts one year, unless the patient cannot tolerate further treatment or side effects, or shows evidence of tumor progression. Patients may also voluntarily withdraw from the study.
Study results will be compared with those from the recently published multi-center trial by Stupp and colleagues, which demonstrated that temozolomide, when added to radiation therapy, can prolong the lives of those newly diagnosed with glioblastoma. This study defined the current standard of care.
The Long Island Brain Tumor Center at Neurological Surgery, P.C. provides the most comprehensive care available on Long Island, with state-of-the-art facilities located across Nassau and Suffolk Counties. The Center offers a multi-disciplinary approach to treating brain tumors, provided by a team of more than 20 physicians and surgeons with various sub-specialties. The team works in concert with patients' medical oncologists and other health care professionals, and treats primary brain and spinal tumors, as well as metastases and CNS lymphoma. The Center is currently conducting two clinical trials.

Sykes is hoping to topple leaders
Posted: January 25, 2013|
BISHOP'S Cleeve are hoping to return to action against top-of-the-table Hungerford Town tomorrow after losing their last two league fixtures to the weather.
Alex Sykes' bottom-of-the-table side were due to play Sholing and Taunton Town, but both were cancelled to extend their postponed game record to six in ten fixtures.
Victory at Hungerford, who are currently 38 points ahead of Cleeve, could lift them off the foot of the Division One South and West table and Sykes is keen for his side to seize the opportunity.
"We will definitely thrive on that, I think generally we can perform against any team in our league on our day," he said.
"I keep telling my players, we're only a third of the way through our games and actually we've got two thirds of the season left to play, so that's a lot of games to go."
Even if the league fixture is unable to go ahead, then Cleeve will instead play an arranged friendly against Gloucester City.
Sykes added: "If our game is postponed then we have a friendly against Gloucester.
"It gives me a chance to get the lads together and try some things with regards to our tactics, our shape and to sharpen up for the next game.
"It just gives us a chance to do something in a game situation and a competitive situation we wouldn't get otherwise."

In a bowl, combine the flour, 1 teaspoon sugar, lemon zest, and salt. With a fork, blend in the butter until the mixture resembles coarse meal. Add 2 teaspoons of ice water and toss until incorporated. Add remaining ice water, tossing with a fork until the mixture begins to come together. Form the dough into a ball, wrap in plastic wrap, and chill for 30 minutes.
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. On a lightly floured surface with a floured rolling pin, roll out the dough into a 7 X 4-inch rectangle. Transfer the dough to a baking sheet and poke it all over with a fork. Bake until golden, about 10 minutes. Transfer to a cooling rack set over a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
Meanwhile, in a small saucepan, stir together 2 tablespoons water and remaining 1/2 cup sugar. Bring the mixture to a boil over moderately high heat, brushing down the sides of the pan with a pastry brush dipped in water. Turn the heat to low and simmer for 10 minutes, or until the caramel is light amber.
Arrange the lemon slices down the center of the pastry and pour the hot caramel over the lemon slices. Let the pastry cool. Using a very sharp knife, cut into 4 pieces and serve.

The spiralling whitefly (Aleurodicus dispersus) is a major pest devouring agricultural crops as it spreads with extraordinary speed across the tropics.
Spiralling whitefly is not a fly but a true bug, a member of the order Hemiptera who all feed on liquid food via stylets, modified tubular mouthparts.
Moth-like adults in waxy secretions on a leaf. © J Martin
Adult whiteflies resemble tiny moths, with four wings covered by a white dusting of mealy material that resembles the wing scales in butterflies and moths.
The common name spiralling whitefly arises from the adult females laying eggs in spirals of waxy material.
All whiteflies are phytophagous and the spiralling whitefly is highly polyphagous, feeding on many plant species, in many plant families. The polyphagy of the spiralling whitefly is the major reason it is able to spread so quickly from one crop to another across the tropics.
The distributional history of Aleurodicus dispersus is one of the most interesting factors about the insect. Learn about the spread of Aleurodicus dispersus from the 1950s to the present.
Read about the strange life cycle of the spiralling whitefly.
Conservation of the spiralling whitefly is not high on the agenda. Find out about the management efforts in place to control this pesty insect and read why it is a good example of failed quarantine procedures.

A few reporters are onto some lobbyist connections in the Obama camp. We saw some of this earlier in the race when his "I don't take oil company money" was shown to be less than accurate. But this whole argument, I'd say, is off base. (As is the effort by the McCain camp to purge its own lobbyists for the reasons discussed here.) It's not as if lobbying is illegal. Last time I checked, it was protected by the First Amendment. The problem is politicians who cave into the special interests promoted by lobbyists. David Brooks notes, speaking of the atrocious $307 billion farm bill,
Barack Obama talks about taking on the special interests. This farm bill would have been a perfect opportunity to do so. But Obama supported the bill, just as he supported the 2005 energy bill that was a Christmas tree for the oil and gas industries. Obama's vote may help him win Iowa, but it will lead to higher global food prices and more hunger in Africa. Moreover, it raises questions about how exactly he expects to bring about the change that he promises.
So rather than count lobbyists, perhaps we should start counting dollars spent on boondoggles. This is a more meaningful measure of a candidates' willingness to resist lobbyists' invitations to spend the taxpayers dollars and override the public interest. And it–rather than a neverending game of "spot the lobbyist"–might be a more fruitful exercise as we look for the next president.

Hey guys & girls,
How would you go about making an infinite loop in a slider using JavaScript?
The want I've done it before was to go back to the first one once the end has reached, but I'd like something as smooth as this http://simplesafe.net/
Would you move the elements around in the background to be in the next position?
I'd really love to hear how other people approach this or any tricks you might have
I've used several "infinite" jquery plugin's and they all use the clone option. Seems to me as a great solution.
But what do you mean with "move the elements around in the background"?
in the past ive used http://logicbox.net/jquery/simplyscroll/
Thanks guys, I'm mainly looking to find out how to make it look seamless once you reach the last image
I'll take a look at the source of simplyscroll

opbmusic Presents: Yuck
By Staff
Originally published on Wed July 9, 2014 10:13 am
London band Yuck's buzzworthy 2011 tour included a stop at SXSW, where they played the NPR Music showcase and marked the release of their debut album. They returned with their second album, Glow & Behold, in October. In the interim, former lead singer Daniel Blumberg left the band, opening the door for guitarist Max Bloom to take over the role — something he says was natural to do. Bloom, along with bassist Mariko Doi, drummer Jonny Rogoff, and guitarist Ed Hayes, played this version of "Middle Sea" for an opbmusic session.

(CBSNews.com) - Man's best friend may understand you as well as your actual best friend might.
Research comparing the brain function of dogs and humans found that dogs have "voice areas" in their brains located in the same region as humans. And in both species, this part of the brain is adept at understanding the subtleties between our voice tones that express our different emotions.
"Dogs and humans share a similar social environment," Attila Andics of MTA-ELTE Comparative Ethology Research Group in Hungary said in a press release. "Our findings suggest that they also use similar brain mechanisms to process social information. This may support the successfulness of vocal communication between the two species."
Researchers scanned the brains of 11 dogs with an fMRI scanner -- a device that measures brain activity -- while they listened to almost 200 dog and human sounds. The samples included whining, crying, happy barks and laughing.
Both dog and human brains lit up in the voice area -- which was located in similar, corresponding locations -- when they heard the sounds.
They also saw that both dogs and humans processed emotion-ridden sounds the same way. For example, the primary auditory cortex was activated more when a happy sample was played more than a sad sound in both species.
"This method offers a totally new way of investigating neural processing in dogs," Andics says. "At last we begin to understand how our best friend is looking at us and navigating in our social environment."
As for humans, 10 percent of their vocal region were most activated due to environmental sounds, and just 3 percent responded the most to non-vocal noises.
The study was published Feb. 20 inCurrent Biology.
The study suggests that the voice area must have evolved at least 100 million years ago, which is the age of the last known common ancestor between our two species.
Marc Bekoff, a fellow of the Animal Behavior Society and a former professor of ecology and evolutionary biology at the University of Colorado, Boulder, told Wired that being able to understand sounds and emotions is key for dogs.
The fact that dogs were bred by humans may have helped make them more akin to our emotions, but chances are their capacity to understand emotion was already pretty advanced before we made them pets. Wolves, coyotes and other undomesticated canines have been observed to be vocal and responsive to emotion.
"It's not a surprising finding, but it's an important finding," said Bekoff, who was not involved in the study.

Trash: The Sickness of the Ocean
Back home, (which for me is Los Angeles), I am an avid surfer. Every weekend I would haul my 6 foot tri-fin surfboard over the hill to Malibu and meet a group of friends to paddle out at our secret spot. I remember the sand between my toes while standing on the beach, checking out the waves. Yeah, I wish I was there right now while I am writing this. But I also remember the empty Cheetos bag sticking up out of the sand. I remember the childs toy floating next to me when I paddled out. I even remember the one time when a sea lion chomped off the end of a styrofoam brick floating four feet from me. In fact, it seems that ever since my pre-adolescent years, when I first learned how to surf at this beach, I have seen trash either in the sand or in the water every day I have paddled out. And my secret spot is not the only place afflicted by this excrement of society. Today, most of the world's oceans and seas are filled with trash and waste that fills the stomachs of sea life and pollutes countless gallons of seawater every day.
Right now, somewhere in the middle of the vast Pacific Ocean, floats an "island" of trash and chemicals, estimated to be between the twice the size of the islands of Hawaii to twice the size of Texas. This trash has filled the stomachs of an incalculable, but extremely large, amount of sea life, which one can easily see in excruciating detail through an internet search. Every day birds fly back to their nests on remote islands all around the world, feeding their chicks with bits of plastic bottles and packaging. Once while I was surfing in the British Virgin Islands (near Jamaica) I paddled over to a very small grassy island to rest on its beach. Only when I stepped on to the sand did I see the entire stretch of sand was filled with plastic jugs and fishing lines. The hermit crabs that inhabited the beach had even dug small pathways between the heaps of garbage. It was very sad to see such a beautiful place from far away transform into an ugly mess.
One may think that this absurd amount of trash floating around the earth is in so much excess that any effort to reduce it is futile. And indeed, it nearly is. The only way the current amount of floating trash can be reduced is if the public becomes educated about the true size of the problem. Until then, this mass of debris will not shrink. But we can each help to stop it from growing. It truly is simple. Next time you are at the beach, instead of leaving your trash or throwing it in the water, put it in a recycle bin so it doesn't end up in a trash island or an animal's stomach.

Liberton rugby club will this week welcome Llandaff North rugby club. What started as a chance meeting in a Cardiff bar in 1968 has developed into one of the longest running club associations in the country.
Two years later Liberton took a team, including the late Bruce Hay, down to play Llandaff North and the fixture has been repeated annually ever since. Over the years strong friendshipshas been forged between players of the two clubs with many players from both sides attending each others weddings, christenings and birthday parties. Bruce Hay was of course one of the trailblazers on the very first tour and a number of his international jerseys are on display in Llandaff Norths clubhouse. In return Welsh internatinal shirts belonging to former Llandaff North players Mike Rayer and world sevens winner Tom Isaacs are displayed on Libertons' wall.
Saturdays game will kick off at 1:30pm and Liberton will be looking for their first victory in the fixture since 1993. A new trophy, named after Willum Burgess, will be presented for the first time after the match.

Check out VIP's coverage area. This company is an early entrant in areas I expect to see massive wireless growth. What are they, fifth largest?
VIP is doing really good on Russian market. It also spreading around all over ex-USSR countries like Uzbekistan , Kazakhstan which are developing countries , and it is an open market for VIP with a lot of potential for growth
cheap and good growth prospects
Huge potential and underpriced for the value
Oh my. The worlds fifth largest telecommunications provider, getting hit like it deserves to be at rock bottom. Does someone not realize the significance, maybe downright reliance on cell phones these days? or should i even call it cell phones, maybe i should say palm sized computers. This stock will be more important that the worlds largest oil provider one day i'm sure. Really, raise your hand if you don't have a cell phone..... And well, once the high tech gets to other countries as much as it is here, where my life can be run by the iphone for the most part.... this will be a high rising stock, very profitable
Domestic demand play
The stock is currently trading at the lower levels of its trading range which I believe represents a good buying opportunity. With operations in fast growing emerging markets such as Russia, Kazakhstan, Ukraine, Uzbekistan, Tajikistan, Georgia, Armenia as well as Vietnam and Cambodia, there is significant growth potential here over the longer term...
This stock should have a lot or potential for growth!~ However, remember you are dealing with Russia and former Soviet countries that havent given up on Socialism. Once a firm does well govt and beureaucrats expect, demand, their cuts. Always ask, can growthi outgrow the corruption in these coutries!
As Russia continues to become more affluent it will continue to need more cell phones and wireless. VIP is the leader and will remain there.

This movie has marked my childhood
Ahh the Goonies. How could I not write about the Goonies. Only ranking behind Back to the Future 2 and Ghostbusters in number of total lifetime viewings. Man I love this movie. At this point, I know I would go to see a sequal but Im not sure how good it could be. In any case, how can you not love a movie that features a bunch of misfits going on a treasure hunt and a giant pirate ship in a secret cave with a killer waterslide. And no matter how much Corey Feldman fucks up, he will always be cool just for making this movie.
The Goonies is one of my favorite movies ever. If you don't like it, I'm sorry, I don't know what your problem is. Try pulling that stick out of your... oh, nevermind. Anyways, back to the movie...
All of the characters are familiar and loveable, and no matter how many times you see it, you will find yourself laughing hysterically as Chunk (Jeff Cohen) does The Truffle Shuffle (it deserves to be capitalized by now). Mikey, Data, Chunk, Sloth, Andie...
Do yourself a favor and go buy The Goonies on DVD... You cannot have a childhood without this movie. You just can't. And I cannot do justice to this movie with words.

Been a while since I felt like writing anything. I've been a bit down of late, with the job search going so poorly, money being so scarce. and work being so annoying. Today when there I had a long chat with a coworker where I basically spilled all my concerns when she asked how things were going. I felt like such a whiner, but I had to get things out.
I don't know where I'm living next year, firstly. I applied for a job as a residence hall director at the University, which would give me a free apartment, free food, and 24-26,000 dollars. I'm not overly qualified, but it's worth a shot. Plus I'd also have free high speed internet.
But, if that doesn't work, I'm in a pickle. I would then need to start searching for a new apartment. My goal for two freakin' years has been to get my very own place when this time comes, but now I'm being questioned from every angle. My roomate who I'm good friends with is graduating this spring, but has a possible job lined up nearby. So he might be sticking around, and seems certain that I'll be living with him if he does. I'm not sure if, or how, I can say no to that. To make things worse, my other roomate who's more of an acquaintance than friend's girlfriend was asking me today if I would live with him instead of getting my own place. So now I might have someone else to face. As for my third roomate, he's an asshole and I don't like him much, especially since he pretty much ended my relationship with my former best friend. He can go fuck himself.
Wow, I ranted just then. This has been a long weekend.
Friday night, I expected to see Goonies on the big screen, so I spent most of my night (after viewing Starsky & Hutch, which rocked) waiting for a friend's call. When she finally got ahold of me she informed me we weren't going till Saturday night, so instead we rented movies. She wanted to see Thirteen, so we got it. It was OK, but nothing special, and the camerawork made me nauseous. Luckily the first disc we got was scratched, so we took it back, got another copy plus a free one, which was American Splendor, a movie I watched Saturday morning and loved.
That's right, I said morning. For some reason unbeknownst to me, despite being up till three AM on friday finalizing the Axis list, I woke up at 8 AM and couldn't get back to sleep. I had to be at work at noon anyway, but I was worn out when I got there. That led to saturday night, which was more waiting for others to call. They didn't, though, so I just sat around till it was Goonies time.
That rocked. Plain and simple. One of the most fun in theater experiences of my life, helped by the fact my recent crush showed up and sat next to me. God, I'm such a dreamer. I need to fix that.
Today I woke up around 11, which gave me time to watch most of After Dark, My Sweet before work. I dozed a little, so I need to see it again for a rating. But I loved what I saw. Then I worked a long shift, came home pissy cuz I'd been thinking about all my problems, and then had my mom call up and shove them all in my face, just in case I didn't notice them. On the bright side, I found out my little sister got a job in Virginia working for the FBI, which is really really cool.
Finally, it was relaxing time, which I did with two solid acquisitions from the Wal-Mart bargain bin. First up was Mute Witness, which I expected a lot from due to all the praise I'd heard for it. It wasn't spectacular, but was damn entertaining, though I hated the musical score. I followed it up with Peggy Sue Got Married, which was a great treat, if only to see Nic Cage, Jim Carrey, and even Sofia Coppola making fools out of themselves and thinking of how much they've changed for the better.
Well, at least how much Nic and Sofia have changed. Sorry Jim. ;)
And I feel good now. Sorry to pour all my thoughts out on this, and god bless anyone out there who actually reads this. It's good to think that someone listens to what I say, so I thank you all.
EDIT: I've come to realize that my longest entries in which I let out the most have come on Sunday's following midnight shows. Weird.
Welcome to the 10 Spot.
All 5 of the films I rated today are excellent in one form or another.
Fight Club: For its ingenious plot twist, film splices, concept and acting by Norton and Pitt. The explanation of airplane emergency procedures brought about good points about what our society has come to.
Blue Crush: This movie really brought surfing into the main stream. Female surfing specifically. Although it in no way tops the ultimate surfing movie Endless Summer, this film glorifies surfing in its own way with a plot that isn't too far fetched or too lame.
Spider-Man: This film fucking ruled, there is no way around that. I went to two back to back shows, something I've never done before even with Star Wars. Everything about this movie was cool.
Spy Game: Robert Redford kicks ass in this movie as a clever CIA agent working to save Pitt from certain doom 5000 miles away. The best part is he does it all without leaving the office. Suspenseful and well shot.
The Goonies: This film needs no review or explanation. It was like the flying butress of the 80's!
I'm about 20 pages in to my script so far for the movie of summer 2004. I will release the title tonight or tomorrow. I'm going for an hour run time and an occult horror/action genre. This side project uses two characters from my BIG movie and serves as a way for me to practice my characterization and experiment with my filming techniques. More soon.
What kid doesn't love The Goonies. This is a classic childrens adventure movie filled with comedy, and action, and is one of my favorite movies from when I was younger.
Now that I have grown up, I watched it again, and although it wasn't as magical as the first time I remember watching it, it was still a good, funny, adventure, though not at all logical. It's funny now to see where all these actors went after this movie, and the only ones that actually "made it big" were Sean Astin and Joe Pantoliano.

It didn't occur to me until yesterday that I could do somethin' cute with one.
Step 1:
Brand new, never worn trucker hat with advertisin' of some sort.
Step 2:
I discovered the easiest way to do this is to make a pattern for the center piece of fabric.
I accomplished this by folding a piece of paper in half and cutting it in an arch down the longest side. Then I cut it until it became the right size.
Step 3:
I opted to keep the frayed edges of the fabric and hand stitched it to the hat.
Then I added a bit of lace and a crocheted flower I made.
It's a pretty quick project.
You certainly don't have to stitch the fabric to the hat and can use spray adhesive or fabric glue.
10-4 Good Buddy!

As millennials relive the '90s in all its glory, it's hard not to celebrate the ups and downs of music over the course of the decade. As technology and the political climate changed so did fans appetite for genres like gangsta rap, grunge, new jack swing, punk, and pop. These different styles of music helped usher in new artists, like Mariah Carey, Nirvana, BoyzIIMen, Spice Girls, and Puff Daddy, that would go on to become mainstays of the '90s.
As with any nostalgic music post, things need to be ranked and, in this case, we ranked each year based on selection of music and events to happen over the course of the '90s.
10. 1991
With alternative rock producing some of the best albums of the year, Nirvana introduces the first glimpse of grunge and R&B makes a go at the singles charts. The year is a bit all over the place in terms of genre and style.
What happened? Whitney Houston sings "The Star-Spangled Banner" at the Super Bowl and laying the groundwork for every performance of the anthem to follow. Janet Jackson signs a $30 million record deal with Virgin Records and her brother Michael signs a $1 billion contract with Sony. BoyzIIMen makes it so hard to say goodbye to yesterday. Perry Farrell launches the first Lollapalooza festival tour. Metallica releases "The Black Album" — one of the most successful albums of all time. Guns N' Roses sell 1.3 million copies of their sophomore album in one week. Every major single — "(Everything I Do) I Do It for You," "Gonna Make You Sweat (Everybody Dance Now)," "I Like the Way (The Kissing Game)," "Because I Love You (The Postman Song)," "Love Will Never Do (Without You)" — features parentheses in the title. Kenny Rogers launches the restaurant chain, Kenny Roger Roasters.
Notable releases: Mariah Carey by Mariah Carey, Nevermind by Nirvana, Ten by Pearl Jam, Metallica by Metallica, The Low End Theory by A Tribe Called Quest, "(Everything I Do) I Do It for You" by Bryan Adams, "I Wanna Sex You Up" by Color Me Badd, "Gonna Make You Sweat (Everybody Dance Now)" by C+C Music Factor, "Rush Rush" Paula Abdul, "One More Try" by Timmy T
9. 1990
The first year of the decade was a transitional year with a number of late-'80s acts spilling over and music seeing a noticeable shift away from '80s pop and hair metal. Music tastes are a bit all over the place as alternative rock firmly establishes itself as the genre of choice.
What happened? MTV's Unplugged makes its debut. (Although, it was with the forgettable new wave band, Squeeze.) Public Enemy releases one of the best albums of the year, Fear of a Black Planet. The Go-Go's reunite — for the first time since breaking up in 1985 — to play a benefit concert. While still named Mookie Blaylock, Pearl Jam plays their first show. Janet Jackson lands atop of both the Billboard Hot 100 and Mainstream Rock chart with "Black Cat". Two different songs of the same name, "Hold On," — by Wilson Philips and En Vogue — top the charts. Vanilla Ice samples "Under Pressure" by Queen and David Bowie in "Ice Ice Baby." Celine Dion makes her English-language debut. Madonna takes her Blond Ambition on tour and gets banned by MTV. Mili Vanili admits to lip-synching and later return their Grammy award for Best New Artist.
Notable releases: Rhythm Nation 1814 by Janet Jackson by Janet Jackson, "Hold On" by Wilson Phillips, "It Must Have Been Love" by Roxette, "Nothing Compares 2 U" by Sinead O'Connor, "Poison" by Bell Biv DeVoe, "Vogue" by Madonna, Fear of a Black Planet by Public Enemy, Goo by Sonic Youth, Bossanova by Pixies, Ritual de lo Habitual by Jane's Addiction
8. 1993
With the start of the Soundscan era, the charts explode with a mix of pop, hip-hop and R&B. Nothing really feels groundbreaking although there's plenty of fun to be had.
What happened? Whitney Houston spends 14 weeks atop of the charts with her cover of "I Will Always Love You." Janet Jackson becomes the first female artist to debut at No. 1 on the Billboard album charts in the Soundscan era. Prince changes his name to an unpronounceable symbol becoming The Artist Formerly Known as Prince. Natalie Merchant goes solo, leaving 10,000 Maniacs after 12 years with the band. Wu-Tang Clan enters 36 chambers. Ace of Base releases their debut featuring a cover of Tina Tuner, "Don't Turn Around." Meat Loaf will do anything for love except for that one thing.
Notable releases: "Whoomp! (There It Is)" by Tag Team, Siamese Dream by The Smashing Pumpkins, Debut by Bjork, janet. by Janet Jackson, "Weak" by SWV, "Informer" by Snow, "I'm Gonna Be (500 Miles)" by The Proclaimers, Enter the Wu-Tang (36 Chambers) by Wu-Tang Clan, "The Sign" by Ace of Base
7. 1992
With the grunge movement established, Kurt Cobain becomes the voice and face of a despondent '90s generation. The year feels cohesive if not slightly serious as acts like Rage Against the Machine, R.E.M., and Sonic Youth follow in Cobain's shoes.
What happened? Nirvana establishes the grunge movement with the success of Nevermind. Guns N' Roses releases the world's longest single, "November Rain," which clocks in at 8 minutes, 57 seconds — the music video also costs a record $1.5 million to make. Eric Clapton pens the emotional — and chart-topping — tribute, "Tears in Heaven," to his late son, Conor. Sinead O'Connor rips up the Pope on Saturday Night Live. Queen re-releases "Bohemian Rhapsody" when the song appears in Wayne's World. Madonna gets erotic on wax. BoyzIIMen spend 12 weeks atop of the Billboard Hot 100 with "End of the Road." The bee girl becomes the most popular video vixen in Blind Melon's "No Rain." Whitney Houston makes her film debut in The Bodyguard and covers Dolly Parton for the soundtrack. Vibe magazine launches. Dr. Dre ain't nuthin' but a 'G' thang, baby. Mariah Carey covers The Jackson 5.
Notable releases: "End of the Road" by BoyzIIMen, "Baby Got Back" by Sir Mix-a-Lot, "Jump" by Kriss Kross, "Save the Best for Last" by Vanessa Williams, "Tears in Heaven" by Eric Clapton, "I'm Too Sexy" by Right Said Fred, "Achy Breaky Heart" by Billy Ray Cyrus, The Chronic by Dr. Dre, Automatic for the People by R.E.M., Rage Against the Machine by Rage Against the Machine, 40 Oz. to Freedom by Sublime
6. 1994
Following a directionless '93, the next year enjoys a revival of punk and witnesses the beginnings of new jack swing.
What happened? Green Day throws dookie everywhere and launches the punk revival of the mid-'90s. Kurt Cobain is found dead after committing suicide. Weezer introduces themselves to the world with "The Blue Album." Lisa "Left Eye" Lopes sets fire to her then-boyfriend Andre Rison's home. Red Hot Chili Peppers perform in light bulb costumes at Woodstock '94. Alicia Silverstone stars in Aerosmith's music video for "Cryin'." Michael Jackson and Lisa Marie Presley awkwardly kiss on stage at the MTV Video Music Awards. TLC creeps on their men.
Notable releases: "Don't Turn Around" by Ace of Base, "I Swear" by All-4-One, "Hero" by Mariah Carey, Definitely Maybe by Oasis, Illmatic by Nas, Weezer by Weezer, The Lion King Soundtrack featuring Elton John, CrazySexyCool by TLC, "Longview" by Green Day, Ready to Die by The Notorious B.I.G.

Anyone who watched the MSU field hockey team take on Virginia and Northeastern this weekend — probably a fair number of people, given that both games were broadcast on the Big Ten Network — likely noticed that the Spartans gave up a lot of penalty corners to their opponents, repeatedly giving the other team chances to score.
I caught up with head coach Helen Knull at practice on Tuesday and got a chance to talk to her about penalty corners and why there seemed to be so many of them.
Before we dive in, however, it's probably worth taking a moment to delve into what exactly a penalty corner is. If you're like me when I started covering field hockey, you almost certainly don't know what a penalty corner even is, much less why it would be a problem to give them up.
A penalty corner is unique to field hockey. It might help to think of it as a cross between a corner kick and a free kick in soccer. If a defender commits a violation inside the circle — roughly the equivalent of the goalie's box in soccer, if it lacked corners and shots only counted if taken from inside it — the offense gets possession of the ball along the endline and get an excellent chance to score.
There are some decent examples on YouTube, and if you're really interested in understanding why defenses usually don't like giving up penalty corners, you'd be advised to look one up. But for our purposes, just know that they often lead to goals for the offense and giving up a lot of them in a game is bad
Anyway, back to this weekend. MSU gave up 16 penalty corners to Virginia last Friday while taking just 10 shots on offense. That's an obscene ratio. But Knull said that the numbers were a bit deceiving.
"The gameplan against Virginia was to avoid giving them open shots, or what we call 'free shots,'" Knull said. "That gave them about four corners. We were happy that we weren't giving them open looks."
Virginia featured a pair of 2012 Olympians in Paige Selenski and Michelle Vittese, so MSU knew going in that it had to do whatever it took to keep them from getting easy goals. That was Knull's point, that if you're giving up penalty corners, you're not giving up goals.
Another factor in play was the Spartan defense. Despite giving up that many corners, Virginia's two goals came during normal gameplay.
"When your defense is playing like they were (on Friday), you can't complain too much," Knull said with a smile.
Knull really isn't worried about the corner issue. As much as she said she'd like to not give up any corners at all, she pointed out that there has to be some kind of balance. Either your defense is giving up corners, or they're giving up uncontested shots, in a lot of cases.
"Ideally, you want to see less free shots and less corners," she said. "But it's probably one or the other."
The only question is how much longer the Spartans' defense can hold out. The law of averages says that sooner or later, those penalty corners will become goals for the opposition. But for now, it's working, so I see no reason to question it.
Besides, Knull and company know a lot more than I do. I'll go with them on this one.

More than 60 motorcycles, including nine from Poteau, met the American Veteran Traveling Tribute in Fort Smith, Ark., Thursday afternoon to escort the wall to Roye Park in Stigler.
The tribute is a veteran-owned project committed to traveling the United State to honor, respect and remember those who served in America's armed services. It will be at Roye Park until Sunday. The wall will be open to the public 24 hours a day until 4 p.m. Sunday.
The wall is an exact replica of the Vietnam Memorial Wall in Washington, D.C., scaled to an 80 percent version, spanning 360 feet.

June is a busy month around our house. With Cash playing on four baseball teams and one basketball team and Koby playing on three baseball teams and one basketball team, we have only had two days in June without a game of some kind.

Dean's Update, August 14, 2012
CBA Center for Student Success Swings into Operation
Fall 2012 is the inauguration of CBA's Center for Student Success under the direction of Gayle Fenton. This umbrella organization includes the CBA Advising Center, CBA's outreach endeavors and enrollment management. All of these units will be coordinating efforts to increase our retention and graduation rates while decreasing the achievement gap. Some of our newest efforts include:
- Complete "ownership" of Pre-Business majors:
- Comprehensive advising during summer SOAR
- Fall 2012 & Spring 2013: Welcome Letter, Fall and Spring Freshman Mandatory advising workshops, and individual appointment for each Pre-Business students.
- CBA Transfer Student Advising: The CBA Advising Center will develop a pilot program of voluntary workshops in Fall 2012 that will review university rules and requirements like GWAR plus cover CBA upper division course selections for Spring 2013. Other CSS efforts are:
- Examination of the functionality of the Symplicity software system to capture data on all CBA advising contacts such as workshops, quick questions, walk-ins, emails, etc. In addition, the CBA Advising Center will review the possibility of advising appointment screening so that students can be seen in advising sessions appropriate to their needs: a) Quick Questions, b) walk-ins, c) 30 minute appointments, and d) 45- 60 minute appointments for very special cases.
- Thanks to AVP Lynn Mahoney, a new half-time professional specialist position will join CSS. Gloria Inzunza-Franco, who was a lead in CSULB's Hispanic Serving Institution grant, will be reviewing CBA's graduation rate achievement gap for under-represented minorities and assisting the Advising Center in decreasing the gap.
- There is a new position in CBA's Advising Center. Taking the place of a previous advisor, this new position will be 50% advisor and 50% outreach to local high schools and community colleges. A collaborative effort between CBA and University Outreach & School Relations will build upon an already established outreach endeavor and target specific high schools and community colleges with a history of well-prepared freshmen and transfers. The goal is to increase CBA enrollments of first-time freshman and transfer students.
- The CBA Advising Center is in the process of developing new advising forms and templates to create information consistency, such as the CBA At-Risk Advising Template. All special student advising cases will include a completed advising template and back-up documents before being sent to the Associate Dean.
Most importantly, the CBA Advising Center will now ensure that all undergraduates will have at least one opportunity for advising each year. To that end, 30 minute advising sessions will be the norm except for special academic cases.
