The Best St. Louis Noise/Experimental Shows: May 2014
Friday, May 16, at Apop Records
BRUXISM No. 3 Concert Series
Regicide Bureau
Skull's Mind (Ghost Ice & Raglani Duo)
Kingston Family Singers
DJ: Michaella
9 p.m. | $5 | free handmade zine with entry
Thomas Sutter has operated under the alias Regicide Bureau for nearly 30 years, releasing more than 300 recordings -- generally free of cost. While the video above gives a sample of Sutter's sound, don't expect the live show to compare. Online evidence of any past work is scarce, making this gig a rare chance to see one of St. Louis' most prolific outsiders in music.
Kingston Family Singers collaborates with modular madman Kevin Harris for an audio/visual set of warped sight and sound. The Singers is actually a solo act, unless you count Maxwell Ullyses Kingston, an otherwise innocent stuffed animal. Maybe Chad Hickman, the brain behind the band, knows more than we do.
Chad Hickman Maxwell Ullyses Kingston, the stuffed star of Kingston Family Singers.
The BRUXISM concert series is a collaboration between Apop Records and Nathan Cook (usually known by his stage name, NNN Cook). The music offered is certainly niche, but Cook's careful planning caters to many palates. What results is a perfect entry point for newcomers to noise and experimental music.
Tuesday, May 20, at William A. Kerr Foundation
New Music Circle Presents:
Ingrid Laubrock & Tom Rainey Duo (NY)
Tyler Damon, Chris Trull, Kevin Harris Trio
NNN Cook
6:30 p.m. | $10-20
This concert caps a stunning 2013-'14 season for New Music Circle. This past year NMC has brought the International Contemporary Ensemble, Joshua Abrams' Natural Information Society, Olivia Block, Cooper-Moore, William Parker and Marty Ehrlich among many, many others to St. Louis. This evening of free-jazz and improvisation gives a great selection of exciting artists from near and far. Headlining the event will be saxophonist Ingrid Laubrock with drummer Tom Rainey.
The Laubrock/Rainey Duo (featured in the video above) performs a spastic merger of horn and percussion, weaving in and out of jazz realms with relative space. Rainey is a powerhouse behind the kit, providing subtle touches between fierce, busy patterns. Laubrock matches his range with full-bodied tone, often stabbing with sharp notes from underneath a blanketed sound.
Indiana native and percussionist Tyler Damon joins local players Chris Trull (of Yowie) and Kevin Harris for a sprawling trio of strings, skins and modular synth. NNN Cook is set to open with an electro-acoustic presentation featuring use of playback sounds.
NMC will host a special workshop, Q&A and performance the night before on Monday, May 19, at Blank Space. Catch Ingrid Laubrock and Tom Rainey as they collaborate with local artists Alex Cunningham (violin), Mabel Suen (guitar/saxophone, also an RFT Music contributor) and Dave Stone (saxophone). The free event begins at 7 p.m.

Area Entrepreneurs To Vie For Prize Money At Susquehanna University
April 6, 2009
SELINSGROVE, Pa. – Creative entrepreneurs will get a chance to pitch their business ideas for prize money at "Succeed in 60 Seconds," a lively outdoor event scheduled for April 16 at 3 p.m. in Susquehanna University's Nicholas A. Lopardo Stadium. Entrepreneurs from around the region will have less than two minutes each – timed by a golf cart circling the football field – to impress judges, who will award $5,000 and $1,000 first and second prizes, respectively, for the best presentation.
More than 20 competitors are expected from the Susquehanna, Bloomsburg and Bucknell university communities, as well as from Geisinger Medical Center and surrounding areas. Pitches will be evaluated for viability, market appeal, timeliness, logistical implementation and other factors. Judges include Denise Prince, chief executive of Geisinger Ventures; Larry Hutchison, chief executive of Doublestar Inc.; Anne Kalin, co-founder and director of the Children's Medical Foundation of Central and Eastern Europe; and Larry Seibert, regional manager with Ben Franklin Technology Partners.
Leann Mischel, assistant professor of management at Susquehanna's Sigmund Weis School of Business, came up with the idea for "Succeed in 60." "I wanted to do something where there would be a little bit of pressure on the contestants and a short time period to present," she said. "We don't have enough elevators around here to do 'elevator pitches,' so we came up with this idea to have a little fun with the contest."
"Succeed in 60 Seconds" is funded by a Keystone Innovation Grant. Announced last fall during Collaboration 2008, a two-day seminar hosted by the Pennsylvania Department of Community and Economic Development (DCED), the grants provide seed capital for faculty and students to conduct business plan and marketing analysis, prototyping, patent research and filing, intellectual property and licensing, and royalty agreements.
"Through past experience with these investments, we've learned that our academic institutions are a tremendous resource and can serve as a catalyst for creating new opportunities in advanced technology industries," said DCED Secretary Dennis Yablonsky.
Founded in 1858, Susquehanna University is a national liberal arts college that prepares students for achievement, leadership and service in a diverse, interconnected world. Academic excellence, study away and service learning, student-faculty collaboration, and rich opportunities for creative and personal growth are hallmarks of a Susquehanna University education. Susquehanna students come from 30 states and 12 countries, and more than 90 percent of them find jobs or pursue graduate study within six months of graduation. The university is located in central Pennsylvania, in the town of Selinsgrove, along the banks of the scenic Susquehanna River and about three hours from major East Coast cultural, financial and recreational centers.

The program offers counseling, classes and a support group to improve self-care skills and to enhance the overall quality of their lives.

Participation in the program requires a doctor's order and may be covered by insurance plans. The Diabetes Self-Management Education Program at Houston Northwest Medical Center has been Recognized by the American Diabetes Association for Quality Self-Management Education*.
What is Diabetes?Diabetes is a disorder of your metabolism, the way your body uses digested food for energy and growth. More than 20 million Americans have diabetes, but nearly one-third of those people do not know they have the disease. Diabetes is a serious, lifelong condition that requires management to reduce the risk of complications and other medical conditions.Glucose, a form of sugar in the blood, is the main source of fuel for your body. Many of the foods you eat are broken down into glucose. After digestion, glucose passes into the bloodstream where it is used for by cells for energy and growth. Glucose is able to get into the cells with the presence of insulin, a hormone produced by the pancreas.Normally, the pancreas would automatically produce the right amount of insulin to move glucose from your blood into the cells as you eat. However, the pancreas either produces little or no insulin, or the cells do not respond appropriately to insulin in people with diabetes. The glucose builds up in the blood, overflows into urine, and passes out of the body in urine, leading your body to lose its main source of fuel.
Are you at risk for type 2 diabetes?Take our online assessment ask about risk factors—conditions that may put you at risk for developing type 2 diabetes.
Understanding Your DiabetesType 1 diabetes is an autoimmune disease which accounts for approximately 10 percent of diagnosed diabetes in the United States. Autoimmune diseases result when the immune system turns against a part of the body. In the case of diabetes, the immune system attacks and destroys the insulin-producing beta cells in the pancreas leaving it producing little or no insulin.Type 1 diabetes develops most often in children and young adults, but it may appear at any age. Symptoms may develop over a short period of time, although the destruction of beta cells may begin years earlier. Some symptoms include increased thirst, increased urination, constant hunger, weight loss, blurred vision and extreme fatigue.Most common is type 2 diabetes, which is most often associated with certain ethnicities, older age, obesity, physical inactivity, a family history of diabetes or previous history of gestational diabetes. Around 80 percent of people diagnosed with type 2 diabetes are overweight.With type 2 diabetes, the pancreas is usually producing enough insulin for the body, but the body suffers from a condition called insulin resistance in which it cannot use the insulin effectively. Over time, insulin production decreases and results in a situation similar to type 1 diabetes—glucose builds up in the blood and your body cannot make efficient use of its main source of energy.Symptoms of type 2 diabetes may develop gradually, and they may include increased thirst and hunger, weight loss, frequent urination, blurred vision, fatigue and slow healing of wounds or sores.
An Online Workable Guide to Managing Type 2 DiabetesVisit our online guide to help you manage type 2 diabetes.What is Pre-Diabetes?Pre-diabetes exists when your blood glucose levels that are higher than normal, but not high enough to be diagnosed with diabetes. Becoming more common in the United States, the Department of Health and Human Services estimates that 40 percent of American adults ages 40 to 74 have pre-diabetes.Pre-diabetes raises the risk of developing type 2 diabetes, heart disease and stroke, but many steps can be taken to prevent or delay the onset of diabetes. Managing body weight and increased physical activity can lower your risk of developing diabetes.

Transocean shareholders oust chairman, but reject Icahn dividend proposal
By Harry R. Weber, Houston Chronicle : May 17, 2013 : Updated: May 17, 2013 8:44pm
Transocean shareholders ousted board Chairman J. Michael Talbert on Friday and installed one of billionaire investor Carl Icahn's nominees as a director, but they rejected Icahn's proposal for a $4-per-share dividend as too risky at a time when the company still faces financial uncertainties from the Gulf of Mexico oil spill.
According to vote totals announced at the company's annual meeting in Zug, Switzerland, shareholders chose by a big margin to go with the company's $2.24-a-share dividend proposal.
It will be payable in four quarterly installments, set for June, September and December of this year and March 2014.
In the vote for directors, shareholders chose Icahn nominee Samuel Merksamer and rejected Talbert, who said this week he'd step down before next year's meeting if he was re-elected. Shareholders approved the rest of the company's director nominees, rejecting Icahn candidates Jose Maria Alapont and John Lipinski.
CEO Steven Newman said the shareholders' decisions were largely a victory for the company and its goals, and the dividend vote in particular was "an overwhelming endorsement."
Transocean shares closed down 70 cents at $54.03 in New York trading Friday.

Sorry Ye': 10 Reasons Kim Kardashian Isn't Even In Beyonce's League- By Bossip Staff Categories: News, We Broke It Here First!, Who Looked More Bangin?
Reasons Beyonce Is Out Of Kim Kardashian's LeagueYesterday, Yeezy made a slightly delusional comment about his new boo, Kim Kardashian. Buddy said that she is his Beyonce. We're not sure what that means but if he's comparing the two, then Kanye definitely caught the short end of the stick. Here are 10 reasons Kimmy Cakes has nothing on Bey Bey.
Beyonce Can Actually Sing - Remember Kimmy Cakes' singing career? She doesn't have a single talent in this world. Bey gets it poppin'.
Beyonce Can Also Dance - She twerks it like a madwoman on stage. Kim just kind of stands there and glistens.
Beyonce Has No Reality Shows - Bey may slore it up ever so often, but overall she has a bit of privacy. At least more than Kimmy does.
No Private Videos For Beyonce - Beyonce didn't make this happen. Even though we wanted to see it, we never did.
Beyonce Is All Natural - Kimmy has all kinds of body part augmentations (i.e. boobs and that fake junk in the trunk). But Bey keeps it a hunnid. Except for the hair. But that's a different story.
Beyonce Has A Better Family - Okay, take daddy out of the picture. Bey has a less slore-y mother and a bada$$ sister. She wins.
Bey Looks Good Without Makeup - Ever see Kim in her natural state? It's probably best she rock the makeup.
Bey's Probably Way Better In Bed - You see how boring that Kim/Ray J tape was? Bey looks and acts like she throws down in the Hova boudoir. Pics via WENN/Tumblr

MANUFACTURER: Leatherman
Review This Item
The LEATHERMAN Charge TTi 19-in-1 Full-Size Tool, Premium Sheath (830682) is a combination of the best selling Charge AL and ALX. In addition to all the other Charge features, the TTi has a premium comfort-sculpted titanium handle scales and the S30V stainless steel clip-point knife. Who says a multi-tool can't be sexy?
If you're looking at the ALX or the AL you'll have to choose whether you want a cutting hook or scissors, because neither has both (the ALX has a cutting hook while the AL has scissors). If you think you might need a cutting and scissors in the same multitool, then you should strongly consider the TTi.
The Charge TTi and ALX are the first multitools with a cutting hook that slices through seat belts and linoleum just as easily as leather or canvas.

What's lurking in your mattress?
When we were kids we were scared of the monsters hiding under our bed, but as adults we should be more concerned with the monsters lurking in our mattress. The average person spends nearly a third of their lifetime sleeping – with their face, nostrils and lungs right above their mattress, inhaling all of the chemicals that are lurking inside. With all that time spent face-on-mattress, it's incredibly disturbing to know that the standard mattress poses more threats to our health than most people ever realize. Conventional mattresses are required by law to contain dangerous levels of VOCs (volatile organic compounds), including flame retardants which are linked to many health issues, including allergies, asthma, hormone disruption, endocrine problems and cancer. These off-gassing chemicals collect in dust and remain circulating throughout your home for years. Fortunately, there are plenty of natural materials that make great mattresses, including wool, organic cotton and natural latex, and if you look carefully and read labels, you can easily find a safe and healthy mattress. Read on for tips to avoid toxic mattresses that are harmful to your health, and discover all the best natural alternatives.
Is Bhutan the world's most eco-friendly travel destination?
My first meal in the land of Gross National Happiness was prepared by 5 diamond star chef Mario Fernandez, of Aman Resorts. When asked whether GNH is indeed a measurement of one of the world's happiest countries, or a load of PR bunk, he said: "The people here can spend all day with a rock and be happy. No need for internet, iPhone, iPad, no Play Stations here." Over the next week, I came to agree with him: the citizens of Bhutan don't have much in the way of worldly possessions, but they seem serene, calm and at peace with themselves. We could learn a lot from them about slowing down the pace, appreciating the natural beauty of the topography, and valuing each other for the soul more than for talent and success.
8 incredible parks created from landfills
Humanity has turned Earth into a giant trash pile. The Environmental Protection Agency estimates that Americans alone produce on average 4.3 pounds of trash each day. Multiplied by 318.9 million people, that's a lot of trash landing up in the country's landfills. If there are about 3,500 active landfills in the United States, just one country, think about how many formal and informal landfills there are globally, leaching all kinds of nasty chemicals into ground and surface water supplies and emitting methane gases. It's a daunting thought. But there is good news. As our knowledge of managing waste improves, we are learning to turn trash into a resource. For example, many landfill sites convert methane emissions into clean energy and many retired landfills have been safely rehabilitated into thriving public parks that reveal nothing of their trashy history. We have rounded up a list of 8. Prepare to be amazed by the transformation.

How sustainable is wood?
Deforestation is one of the most visible of humanity's destructive impacts on the planet, with mowed-down forests around the world emptied of animal and plant species. And despite the fact that wood has been a reliable staple for generations, used for building homes and making paper among other things, it is in no way a rapidly renewable resource. Even with the presence of managed forests and the availability of reclaimed wood, our dependence on timber continues to grow exponentially alongside world population. Which makes us wonder: can we possibly keep using wood and call it sustainable?

Psy and K-Pop are the second biggest things that happened in 2012 according to Billboard.
Billboard recently took a look back at the biggest music-related things that happened in 2012 in a feature titled, 'The 20 Top Music Moments of 2012'.
All the way at number two, the title read, 'Psy leads Year of K-Pop', as the feature listed all the accomplishments of Psy and Gangnam Style this past year and wrote he and his song were "Truly inescapable in the second half of 2012."
On top of Psy's accomplishment, the same listing gave a shout out to some of the accomplishments of the Wonder Girls, Big Bang, 2NE1 and IU.
Psy and his fellow K-Pop acts placed higher on Billboard's list than the likes of Taylor Swift, One Direction and Adele.
Making the number one spot on Billboard's biggest music moments of the past year was the untimely passing of Whitney Houston.

That same day the seige of The Alamo began, and during the next 12 days, a handful of brave Texans fought to the death against Santa Anna's formidible army. Had Sam Colt's invention been built and available before th e Alamo seige, would it have made a difference? We will never know, but those two events changed the Old West and are still the stuff of legends over 175 years later.

LG Mobile Phones Ranked Highest in Overall Wireless Mobile Phone Satisfaction by J.D. Power and Associates
LG Mobile Phones' Features and Design Exceed Consumer ExpectationLG Mobile Phones' Features and Design Exceed Consumer Expectation
SAN DIEGO. - Oct. 27, 2003- LG Mobile Phones ranks highest in overall customer satisfaction among wireless cell phone manufacturers, consistently performing above the industry average across all five areas that impact carrier performance, especially with features and physical design, according to the J.D. Power and Associates 2003 U.S. Wireless Phone Evaluation StudySM released late last week.
The study went on to state that exceeding customer expectations substantially raises the possibility that subscribers will not only buy the same brand the next time they are in the market to replace their mobile phones, but also that they will upgrade to a higher-priced model.
The study also found that satisfaction with newer cell phones is significantly higher than older phones. Newer phones include many of the most popular features and cutting-edge technologies, including multi-color displays, polyphonic ringers and multimedia messaging capabilities such as camera phones that can include a voice message. These features are consistently included in all new LG Mobile Phones models.
"LG Mobile Phones has been in the U.S market since'98," said Jae H. Bae, president, LG Mobile Phones. "Being ranked at the top by our consumers is a testament to our efforts to establish ourselves as a leader in technological innovations and design and incorporate the features consumers want into every LG mobile handset."
The 2003 U.S. Wireless Phone Evaluation Study measures customer satisfaction among the eight largest wireless handset manufacturers and is based on responses from 24,359 households.

Step 1: INGREDIENTS
for the tart shells...this will make one 8" tart shell or two 4" shells......baked and cooled
1 stick of butter
1 1/4 cups of flour
2 teaspoons of sugar
a pinch of sea-salt
1/4 - 1/2 cup of ice cold water
the chocolate filling...
1 1/2 sticks unsalted butter
4 oz of semi-sweet chocolate
1 oz of cocoa powder
2 oz. milk chocolate chips
1 1/2 cups granulated sugar
2/3 cup all purpose flour
6 eggs, lightly beaten
Step 2: TART SHELL (THIS OPTIONAL)
NOTE: the least amount of mix time and water will make for a much more pliable dough and much less tough and more flakey...
This receipe requires that you first completely bake the tart shells prior to filling.
To bake these tart shells, first place a piece of parchment paper in them with some pie weights, if you do not have pie weights, you can use any dry bean such as lentils. Bake in an oven set to 350°F for 12 minutes, remove the weights and return to the oven for another 10 minutes or until the shells are golden brown.
Step 3: CHOCOLATE FILLING
In a mixer, combine the eggs, flour and sugar, add in the cocoa powder and continue to mix. Next, stir in the chocolate-butter mixture. Pour the filling into the tart shells, (or just fill a fluted cake pan with the filling).

Questioning Knox County Governance
In light of all the shenanigans and squabbles that have beset Knox County government, an extensive look at the conduct and structure of other county governments is certainly timely. That's all the more the case in the wake of the state Supreme Court's decision earlier this year that the county has leeway to restructure its governance in ways that were previously thought to be precluded by the state Constitution.
Hence, last week's voluminous report by UT's Howard Baker Center for Public Policy canvassing the practices of some 160 other â"cohortâ" counties of similar size throughout the country is certainly welcome. The report was commissioned by an undeniably civic-minded, albeit self-appointed, group called Knox County One Question whose 70-member steering committee is chaired by former UT President Joe Johnson.
The one question posed by the group is: â"What changes, if any, do the citizens want to make in the form or structure of government in Knox County?â" With myriad recommendations gleaned from five public input sessions last spring now accompanied by the Baker Center report, the steering committee, following another round of public comment on the evening of Aug. 14 at West High School, will hold a retreat and then come forth with its own set of recommendations by month's end.
However, while the Baker Center report is long on facts and figures, it falls short of a stated goal of identifying â"best practicesâ" derived from all the canvassing. Indeed, the three political science professors who prepared it were politic enough to avoid making any recommendationsâ"though a handful of conclusions are at least suggestive.
For one, the report's findings â"suggest there is a particular value added to the governance and management of counties when they have the services of a professional manager who serves as chief executive officer.â" By a professional manager, the report means someone appointed by the county's legislative body rather than elected by the voters.
One fallacy with this analysis is that state law stipulates that except in counties with a consolidated form of government (of which Davidson is the only one), â"the chief executive of each county shall be a county mayor elected by the qualified voters of the countyââ" Moreover, whatever the faults of our present county mayor may be, the thought of having his successor selected by and subservient to a discombobulated County Commission is abhorrent to me.
The report also suggests that our present 19-member County Commission is too large and goes on to say that, â" it appears that those governmental structures that rely on a smaller number of elected representatives are relatively more efficient and effective and still have a good understanding of public needs and concerns.â" But anyone who supposes that the presently constituted commission might initiate any change in its composition is delusional. The only way to do so is through a citizen-initiated referendum to amend the County Charter, Ã la the one that imposed term limits on elected officials in 1994. It would take close to 20,000 registered voter signatures on a petition to bring about such a referendum, and its chances for success seem poor. The same goes for a referendum to provide for appointment, rather than election, of such presently elected officials as the county clerk, property assessor, register of deeds and trustee.
Issues such as nepotism and conflicts of interest, including county employees serving on County Commission, have become the biggest source of discontent and distrust of county government here of lateâ"and perhaps a catalyst for change. But in scanning the rest of the county for ways to deal with these issues, the report's authors failed to look just down the corridors of the City/County Building at how the city of Knoxville does so.
The city's Charter prohibits any city employee from serving on city council. While I'm favorably disposed toward some of the three (down from five) county employees who serve on County Commission, the county would be well advised to follow suit.
When it comes to nepotism, the city's Charter prohibits any elected or appointed official from â"having a vote or voice in the election or appointment of [an] officer or employee within the third degree, either by affinity or sanguinity.â" Such third-degree nepotism is generally defined to include a parent, child, spouse, in-law, uncle, aunt or first cousin. A county employee's handbook contains a similar set of strictures in plainer English, but it is only applicable to employees of the executive branch. That leaves uncovered the various fee offices (clerk, trustee, etc.) where patronage jobs, if not nepotism, are prevalent.
The only thing labeled as a conclusion in the report states in part that, â"To be sure, structural change and organizational improvement are no guarantors of good and effective governmentâ"but certainly they are important features of its improvement. The essential ingredients for better government remain an informed, attentive, and engaged citizenry, public-spirited , visionary, and energetic community leaders, and ethical and competent public servants.â"
Without a doubt, as Joe Johnson has himself stated in the past, people are more important in effecting change than structure. Now is the time for the citizens of Knox County to start rallying to the cause of selecting good people to fill the eight seats on County Commission and six other county offices that are up for election next year. Primary voting is only six months away, and the outcomes of next year's elections can perhaps go a long way toward restoring trust in county government that is now so sorely lacking. â" Joe Sullivan

The 179 was part of a group of 20 cars built for the Southern Pacific Railway's local streetcar operation in Oakland, California. Southern Pacific transferred 10 of these cars to its Pacific Electric operations in 1913, where they were needed to meet growing demand. The new 170-class cars were the first steel-bodied cars in the PE's fleet, and PE crews nick-named them "Submarines", after the then-emerging naval phenomenon. The West Coast's first submarine base had opened in the L.A. Harbor that same year.
The 170-class cars were almost retired by 1928, but three remained in service in Long Beach until final retirement in 1934. Many of these sturdy steel cars ended up being sold to the public as empty carbodies. This one became a home in the Crestline area of the San Bernardino mountains. It was acquired by the Museum in 1974 along with the carbody of PE 1046. The 179 was stored outdoors until 2009, when it finally received an indoor home in the new Ron Ruffulo Carhouse.
These were the PE's only city streetcars that were capable of operation on both 600 and 1200 volts. Thus the cars were frequently assigned to lines which connected with the PE's 1200-volt San Bernardino line. The carbody has been placed on a pair of trucks acquired from San Francisco, and it is hoped to some day restore it to operational condition. At least two other carbodies of this same class survive today in Tujunga, California.
The Orange Empire Railway Museum has a job opening for a Marketing Specialist. Please read the description if you are interested.

Photos and Review by Oyster.com Investigators
Historic resort with great mountain and city views, along with plenty of outdoor activities and modern amenities
The Westward Look Resort is an independent, upscale resort that occupies 80 acres in the desert foothills of north Tucson and features stunning panoramas of the Santa Catalina Mountains. The property also offers good views of the city lights, as it sits at a higher elevation than downtown Tucson. Guests praise the hotel for its beautiful location, relaxed ambiance, renowned restaurants, and many outdoor activities.
Originally established in 1912 (the year Arizona became a state), the Westward Look Resort began as a 172-acre homestead in the open desert outside Tucson. The hotel's lobby is built around the living room of that 1912 structure, including the ocotillo cactus limbs in the ceiling and original hardwood floors. The old Southwest feel was incorporated into the surrounding spaces with wood beams in the ceilings, wrought iron chandeliers, and ornate wooden furniture. Both the decor and architecture of the resort recall the past century, yet the interior spaces and rooms also wear an unmistakable modern look that refines the aged charm.
There's a sprawling feel to the property, which is dotted with cacti and mesquite trees. The grounds include a hummingbird and butterfly garden, nature path, and a meditation labyrinth. Most popular are the resort's three pools, which use saline water instead of chlorine. The horseback rides, hiking trails, eight tennis courts, and basketball and volleyball courts are also big draws. A focus on nature is apparent here, from the native plants that are incorporated into treatments at the Sonoran Spa to the chef's garden that provides fresh ingredients for the resort's GOLD restaurant. A nature center offers educational displays about the Sonoran Desert and there is even a telescope on the property, so that guests can view the desert night sky.
Perhaps the only thing missing from the hotel is a golf course, which other upscale properties such as the Loews Ventana Canyon Resort and The Westin La Paloma Resort and Spa do offer.
In north Tucson, situated in the foothills of the Santa Catalina Mountains
The Westward Look is located in north Tucson in the foothills of the Santa Catalina Mountains. It's surrounded by residential neighborhoods, so there is nothing much within walking distance, but large shopping areas and restaurants are just a 10-minute drive from the hotel. Self-parking is free and allows guests to park outside their front doors. No shuttle service is offered.
Tucson is the second-biggest city in Arizona and perhaps its most culturally rich. Though officially founded in 1776, Tucson was first settled in the late 1600s by Spanish missionaries (most notably at the beautiful Mission San Xavier del Bac, the region's most iconic structure), and 4000 years earlier by Hohokam Indians. It is said to be one of the longest continuously-inhabited cities in the USA, known since its inception as the "Old Pueblo."
Sitting at 2,400 feet in a broad valley between five different mountain ranges, Tucson enjoys on average 350 sunny days per year and an arid climate that produces one of the most diverse desert environments in the world. The Sonoran Desert features the stately saguaro cactus, which is celebrated at Saguaro National Park on the city's outskirts, and many other varieties of cacti and unique wildlife including a few notable desert dwellers, such as rattlesnakes, Gila Monsters, and Giant Desert Hairy Scorpions. There was even a 2009 sighting of a rare jaguar. The Arizona-Sonora Desert Museum has wildlife and flora on display, and is the best place to learn more.
With all that sunshine, Tucson is an outdoor lover's paradise. Scores of golf courses dot the city. Hiking possibilities are limitless and year-round in the Santa Catalina and Santa Rita Mountains nearby, with Sabino Canyon Recreation Area being a local favorite. Mountain bikers come to Tucson by the thousands for the miles of single-track trails in the desert. Bird-watchers can explore some of the richest avian populations in North America in nearby secluded canyons. And there's even a ski area among fir and pine trees atop Mt. Lemmon, which has an elevation of more than 9,000 feet.
Tucson's Hispanic community is woven into the fabric of everyday life in the city, and is reflected in the Mexican restaurants, the Spanish place names, and the arts and culture that play a large part in forming Tucson's identity. The arts abound in Tucson in dozens of galleries, such as the Etherton Gallery or DeGrazia Gallery in the Sun (celebrating the work of Tucson artist Ted DeGrazia). The University of Arizona houses the Creative Center for Photography, the nation's largest repository of photographs by notable artists such as Ansel Adams and W. Eugene Smith.
As a desert city, Tucson gets hot in the summertime with temps ranging in the 100s from May to mid-September. Winter is the busy season, when many visitors succumb to the temptations of 75-degree days and pleasant evenings around a fireplace. Summers can be enjoyable too, by sticking close to a pool or indulging in shopping -- just remember to pack extra water and avoid exertion in the midday sun. Locals might suggest taking a siesta -- "nap" in Spanish -- during midday hours.
It's important to realize that freeways are nonexistent in Tucson, save for I-10. Driving times can vary depending on time of day, as rush hour creates a twice-daily snarl on surface streets.
Big rooms with balconies, good views, and flat-screen TVs
With 241 rooms and numerous buildings, the Westward Look's capacity is big, but so is the property, so it tends to feel less crowded than a typical large resort. The rooms are spacious and all feature a private balcony or patio, with pool, desert, city, or mountain views. Rustic wood furniture, an earthy color scheme, and even wood-beam ceilings in some rooms make for a charming vibe, while amenities including Wi-Fi and 42-inch flat-screen TVs offer guests some modern conveniences. Bathrooms are on the large side, but some only offer walk-in showers and no tubs.
Three saline pools with adjacent Jacuzzis and pretty views, eight tennis courts that offer nighttime lighting, and beautiful grounds with gardens and nature trail
Fresh American cuisine wtih a Southwestern touch at the acclaimed GOLD restaurant, which plucks ingredients right from a garden on the hotel property
This renovated guest ranch is Tucson's oldest resort and one of its most popular. Outdoor activities abound at the upscale property, which offers three saline pools, horseback riding and hiking trails, volleyball, basketball, and eight tennis courts -- but no golf course. Big rooms and two highly regarded restaurants overlook the serene mountains and city lights.

Dance Groups
This year we welcome back the Danube-Swabian Dancers, the Cripple Creek Cloggers, the D'Oberlander dancers, and, of course, everyone's favorite the Big Bear Lake Polka Tots.
The Big Bear Lake Polka Tots
Founded in 1973 by Yvonne Barrows (1972 Oktoberfest Queen), the Big Bear Lake Polka Tots are the official dance group of the Big Bear Lake Oktoberfest. These "tots", ranging in ages from 2 years to 12 years, have been entertaining audiences in Big Bear for more than 37 years. Fourth generation of Polka Tot families are now performing. While not professional dancers, these little polka fans but on a great show and are sure to delight Oktoberfest visitors. The Polka Tots performance dates are Weekends 1, 2, 4, & 7.
Danube-Swabian Dancers
The Danube-Swabian Dancers have been performing for more than 50 years as a group.
Founded in 1952, the Los Angeles Danube-Swabian Dance Group maintained a cultural link with the former homeland of the newly arrived immigrants, while offering a haven to the Danube-Swabian youth while they assimilated into mainstream America. It was and remains our goal to continue our ancestors' customs and traditions. We hope that the new generations of German descendants will proudly help us keep this dream alive. The group performs a variety of German, Austrian and Danube-Swabian folk dances. The Danube-Swabian Dancers perform the weekend of October 18th & 19th.
D'Oberlander Dancers
In the late 1950′s a group of German and German-American people longing to uphold such traditions and customs as language, music, dance, and costumes met and discussed their ideas of forming a Bavarian Trachten Schuhplattler Verein.They agreed to form such a group under the name "D'Oberlandler Schuhplattler Verein."
Among the group's many accomplishments and performances include Disneyland, Universal Studios, Rose Parade (Pasadena) , the 100th anniversary of the Bayerischen TRACHTLER IN Munich, AND ALT Roseheim's 90 "t" anniversary serving as German -American Ambassadors of the United States presenting a proclamation from President Ronald Reagan commemorating 300 years of Germans in America.
D'Oberlanders not only perform schuhplattlers and volktanz. We include Alpenhorns, Cowbells, Hackbrett, Zither, and the Accordian as other forms of upholding German traditions and culture. D'Oberlander Dancers perform the weekend of September 27th and 28th.
Cripple Creek Cloggers
The Cripple Creek Cloggers are a clogging exhibition group dynamic throughout the greater Southern California area. The foot stomping, hand clapping dance they perform reflects the raw vigor of the Appalachian Mountains and the fresh excitement of our American Heritage. Performing since 1977, they have thrilled audiences of all ages and cultures with their shows which display a special blend of musical themes, including traditional bluegrass, country western, Irish and contemporary music. Reviews of their performances emphatically affirm that this group of adults and children are "full of vitality" and "express true joy in their ability to entertain an audience". The liveliness and enthusiasm of the Cripple Creek Cloggers makes clogging as much fun to watch as it is to dance! The Cripple Creek Cloggers perform the weekend of October 11th & 12th.

With the Buffalo Bills hierarchy settled, it's on with the coaching search.
"As soon as we get off this podium, we go to work," Bills CEO Russ Brandon said Tuesday, shortly after being promoted to team president. "We're heading out of here and starting that process."
First stop: Arizona.
That was the destination of a plane Brandon, general manager Buddy Nix and several other key front-office members had boarded to immediately begin the process of finding a coach.
Though the team, on its website, didn't divulge any details beyond Brandon's travel plans, Arizona is home to three potential candidates: Cardinals defensive coordinator Ray Horton as well as former Cardinals head coach Ken Whisenhunt and his assistant Russ Grimm, who had both been fired a day earlier.
It was a busy and eventful start to the new year for the Bills, after closing 2012 by firing coach Chan Gailey following three losing seasons.
Brandon's promotion gives him full control of the franchise's day-to-day operations. Nix has been retained. And assistant GM Doug Whaley's star is rising. Whaley will be involved in the coaching search, an indication that he continues to be groomed as Nix's eventual successor.
Brandon will now report directly to team owner Ralph Wilson, after assuming the title previously held by the 94-year-old owner. The transfer of power was made Monday, when Brandon met with Wilson at the owner's home in suburban Detroit.
"It was a rather emotional visit," Brandon said. "He told me he was passing the torch to me to run the franchise in totality. He has granted me full authority to run the franchise with zero restrictions and zero limitations."
The Bills are in the midst of their fifth coaching search since 2001. They're coming off their second consecutive 6-10 season and extended the NFL's longest playoff drought to 13 years. Over that stretch, Buffalo only once had a winning record — 9-7 in 2004.
Brandon said the coaching search will be "exhaustive" in his attempt to revive a once-proud franchise who's brand and relevancy he described as "tarnished."
"We haven't won enough games. And that's on us," Brandon said. "And we're going to change it. We need to change it. And I will go to the end of the earth to make sure that we change it."
Nix will report directly to Brandon, while maintaining authority over football operations.
Nix declined to be pinned down on the what he's looking for in a coaching candidate, saying: "This time, I think it's wide open."
That's a switch from three years ago, when Nix narrowed his parameters on hiring someone with previous head-coaching experience and an offensive background.
Page 2 of 2 - On other issues, Nix called it "an organizational" decision to fire Gailey. Nix backtracked on the unconditional support he voiced toward Gailey in November by saying: "Things change, and it changed some with us. We kind of collapsed at the end. That made a difference."
As for starting quarterback Ryan Fitzpatrick's future, Nix said that will be left up to the next coach.
Brandon completed his 16th season with the Bills, and has been serving as the team's chief operating officer since 2008.

The IRS has come under withering scorn from the news that it lost emails it was under court order to retain, and that it failed to carry out the basic information security procedures it demands of taxpayers. To recover its much needed reputation for integrity, President Obama should call for an independent investigation to dispose of charges that the losses were a deliberate cover-up of partisan activities.
The emails pertain to findings by the inspector general of the IRS that it unfairly targeted conservative groups seeking tax-exempt status between 2010 and 2012, and to suits by several groups that claim the IRS used illegal political criteria to deny their applications. There has also been a suit by Judicial Watch, a conservative non-profit, which filed a FOIA suit to obtain the missing emails.
Two federal district court judges have set hearings for today and Friday on why the IRS failed to notify their courts that certain subpoenaed emails were missing until late June, when it admitted in a congressional hearing that the losses had been discovered in February.
Meanwhile, a House committee continues its hearings into the charges of political interference by the IRS, accompanied by political rancor between the Republican majority and the Democratic minority. White House spokesman Josh Earnest on June 16 dismissed speculation that the data loss was deliberate as "indicative of" a conspiratorial view such as "the far-fetched skepticism expressed by some Republican members of Congress [which] is not at all surprising and not particularly believable."
What exactly occurred is still murky and under investigation, but the awkward fact remains that the lost emails are attributed to computer crashes afflicting two figures at the heart of the controversy.
The central figure in the controversy is senior IRS manager Lois Lerner, who asserted her Fifth Amendment right not to testify to Congress several months before retiring from the agency in September. The IRS told Congress last month that Lerner's computer hard drive crashed in 2011, that the data were unrecoverable and that it had not been backed up.
Yes, as White House spokesman Earnest said, computers crash, and sometimes technical recovery is not possible.
But it stretches credulity when the IRS says the same fate befell the computer of Nikole Flax, Lerner's assistant and later special assistant to then-IRS Director Steven T. Miller.
Or when it happens to the computers of five other IRS employees who worked in the office when the conservative groups came under special IRS scrutiny.
Ms. Flax, incidentally, was a frequent visitor to the White House and the Executive Office Building, according to the online Daily Caller, which cited 31 visits listed on White House logs, between July 10, 2010, and May 8, 2013, two days before the IRS scandal became news.
All of this may be attributable to innocent motives. But the White House is doing itself, and a critical agency of government, the IRS, no good by resisting a thorough independent investigation that includes, if necessary, an offer of immunity to Ms. Lerner.

Personal Retirement
(UM02-03) - Endogenous Labor Supply Responses to Social Security Reform
John P. Laitner
Economists' most basic model for studying Social Security policy issues is the so—called life—cycle model of saving behavior. This paper sets up a life—cycle model in which a household simultaneously chooses its lifetime consumption profile and retirement age. The paper calibrates parameters from Consumer Expenditure Survey data, making special use of observations of changes in household consumption immediately following retirement. The paper's last section provides illustrative simulations of the effect of current Social Security provisions on average retirement ages, finding evidence of a several year reduction in working life in some cases.

Where's the outrage over this headline?
NASA Chief: Next Frontier Better Relations With Muslim World
When I first saw this story I thought it was political satire.
When I realized it wasn't, I started writing this column as therapy to help me through the realization of yet another signal that our nation is finished as a great power.
So let's examine the facts surrounding this important news story.
NASA Administrator Charles Bolden said in an interview with Al Jazeera…Wait, stop right here! Why is the NASA chief giving an interview to Al-Jazeera?
I thought NASA stood for National Aeronautics and Space Administration, or at least it used to. Now one could surmise it stands for No Air or Space Anymore, since the Shuttle program is ending and the Constellation program which was to return astronauts to the moon and build new rockets and spaceships was canceled under Bolden's watch. Apparently Bolden has plenty of time to give interviews to Al-Jazeera while he oversees the dismantling of our space program at the behest of his boss, President Obama.
It turns out that Bolden interviewed with Al-Jazeera while he was in the Middle East speaking at the American University of Cairo in late June marking the one year anniversary of President Obama's 2009 speech to Muslim nations in Cairo.
Is this something new from the Obama administration, marking the one year anniversary of Obama's global speeches? Does this mean in October that Obama will send his Secretary of Agriculture to mark the one year anniversary of his failed Olympic bid speech in Stockholm?
The news story only gets better because during the Al-Jazeera interview Bolden recounted his conversation with President Obama who outlined Bolden's personal NASA mission before he headed up the space agency. "He charged me with three things," recounts Bolden.
First, "to help re-inspire children to want to get into science and math." (So why wasn't this guy named Secretary of Education rather than NASA chief?)
Second, was to "expand our international relationships." (So why wasn't he named Secretary of State?)
Third, "find a way to reach out to the Muslim world and engage much more with dominantly Muslim nations to help them feel good about their historic contribution to science…and math and engineering."
(So, why isn't Bolden heading up the Peace Corps if he's in the "help them feel good" business?)
Fascinated by Obama's third mission for NASA, I googled Muslim contributions to math and science and discovered, according to a Muslim periodical, "When we talk about Muslim contributions to mathematics we are usually referring to the years between 622 and 1600."
I delved further into the science contributions and found this:
Starting around 750 AD science flourished under the Abbasid caliphs of Baghdad, gradually spreading its influence as far west as Spain and eastwards into Central Asia, over a period of more than 600 years.
So, now it's all beginning to make some sense.

About Lincoln Town Car
A full-sized luxury sedan introduced in 1981, the Lincoln Town car was one of the most established automotive nameplates in America. In 1996, Lincoln offered a special limited version of the Town Car known as the Cypress Edition. Its exterior Town Car body parts featured a Cypress Gold Frost paint job and a red Cypress tree badge, as well as two-toned leather interior. Between 1990 and 1997, the Town Car had a boxy and slab-sided appearance that belied more cutting-edge design elements. This generation of the Ford sedan had Lincoln Town Car auto parts like flush-mounted windows and carefully placed lights to give it an aerodynamic profile. The 1999 model added seat-mounted head and torso side airbags as a standard feature.

The agent accused of shopping Auburn quarterback Cam Newton to Mississippi State and other schools last year has denied the allegations.
Kenny Rogers told Dallas radio station KESN-FM on Friday that he has never asked schools for money to place players.
"Heck, no, I've never done that. A school has never paid me for a kid. An alumni has never paid me for a kid. Period, point blank," Rogers said in a telephone interview.
ESPN reported Thursday that Rogers, who helps place prep players with college programs, called former MSU quarterback John Bond last December, saying he was representing Newton. Newton, who began his college career at Florida, was in junior college at the time. Bond said Rogers told him schools were offering $200,000 for Newton, but that Rogers would charge Mississippi State just $180,000.
"They're making me seem like I was the person that called John to talk about it, but I haven't talked to John in over 20 years," Rogers told KESN. "And then I (allegedly) was asking for money on behalf of my own school. That's just kind of crazy."
Newton on Friday denied any wrongdoing. Newton's father, Cecil Newton, said Thursday that no one in his family received money from anyone. Sources told The Associated Press on Friday that Auburn personnel have had no contact with Rogers.
The NCAA is reviewing the recruitment of Newton, but Auburn has not received a letter of inquiry, the source told the AP on condition of anonymity because the person was not authorized to comment publicly.
-- The Associated Press contributed to this report.

Carnahan Orders Arizona Company to Stop Offering Unregistered Securities Promising 90% Returns Per Week
Jefferson City, Missouri -- Secretary of State Robin Carnahan's Commissioner of Securities, David B. Cosgrove, issued a Final Cease and Desist Order yesterday against Brown Associates International; International Financial and Investment Advisors and Ted Brown a/k/a T.R. Brown of Arizona.
In the order, Commissioner Cosgrove found that Ted Brown, Brown Associates International and International Financial and Investment Advisors offered a high-yield investment program that claimed to have no-risk and pay a 90% return per week. The company and Brown claimed that the investor could put money into a "blocked account" in their own bank which would not be accessed by anyone else.
The company also claimed to be a "private placement program" established by a Trading Group and facilitated through a "recognized" bank. However, the company failed to disclose the number of previous participants who had received such high returns or the name of the bank or trading group that was to generate these returns. The company also misrepresented the risk involved with the investment.
"Missourians should be suspicious any time someone offers them a deal that sounds too good to be true or neglects to disclose necessary information," said Carnahan. "To protect yourself, follow the ABC's of investing: Ask Questions, Beware of Fraud, Call the Investor Hotline."
The Missouri Securities Division's order prohibits Brown Associates International; International Financial and Investment Advisors and Ted Brown a/k/a T.R. Brown from offering or selling High-Yield Investments in the state of Missouri.
"The Securities Division works diligently to identify and stop those companies and individuals putting the money of Missouri investors in jeopardy by offering or selling unregistered securities. I encourage investors to call our toll free investor hotline to find out if an investment product or person offering or selling an investment product is registered with the Securities Division" said Cosgrove.
For more information regarding investments and fraud protection, or for information regarding a company or representative, visit the Secretary of State's web site at www.sos.mo.gov/securities/ or call the toll free investor hotline at 1-800-721-7996.

Enrique Foster Reserva Malbec 2006
Malbec from Argentina, South America
Winemaker's Notes
Estate grown and bottled 100% Malbec made of selected grapes from old vines. This is a huge wine, deep red violet with dark fruit aromas, firm structure, full-bodied, long finish. Excellent with rich spiced dishes, strong cheeses, roast or grilled meats, tuna, salmon and chocolate.
The 2003 vintage received "Year's Best Argentine Malbec" by Wine & Spirits Magazine.
Critical Acclaim
The Wine Advocate - "The 2006 Reserva Malbec is a blend of two vineyards, 53 years and 90 years old respectively. It, too, spent 12 months in 40% new French oak. Purple-colored, it displays an expressive perfume of balsam wood, leather, underbrush, spice box, and black cherry. Smooth-textured and suave on the palate, it has loads of savory black fruit and spice notes, excellent concentration, and a lengthy, fruit-filled finish. Cellar it for 2-3 years and drink it from 2011 to 2021. "
Enrique Foster Winery
Presently Bodega Enrique Foster possesses two vineyards located in the Lujan de Cuyo, Mendoza, Argentina. The vineyards sit at an elevation of 3,000 feet above sea level on the eastern flank of the Andes, with hot days, cold nights and little rain.
The construction of the cellars began by digging out a huge crater of more than 6000 cubic meters to create cellars which will accommodate up to 2000 barrels. The cellars were then totally buried under tons of earth and highly-insulating pumice stone to assure a constant temperature and humidity ideal for the ageing of our Malbec without the use of air conditioning.

About ArgentinaView a map of Argentina wineries (ahr-jen-TEE-nah)
Notable FactsUnlike its Chilean neighbor, Argentina's vineyards are spread out around the country. The best known region is Mendoza, almost parallel to Santiago to the west. Mendoza contains the sub-regions of Maipu (pronounced MY-pu) and San Rafael. Grape-wise, the most important white is Chardonnay, making wine similar to California's style on the variety. Another fun white grape to try is Torrontes. Almost only grown in Argentina, Torrontes makes wines that are crisp, aromatic and easy-drinking. Some of the best versions of this wine come from the northern region of Salta, with very high altitude vineyards. As for the reds, Cabernet Sauvignon is the main grape for many wines leaving the country, but Malbec, the grape Argentinians like to call their own, makes very distinctive wines that are structured, dense and velvety. Many more varieties happily grow in the country, but for export, and consistent quality, these are the primary grapes.

Alcohol By Volume GuideMost wine ranges from 10-16% alcohol by volume. Some varietals tend to have higher (for example Zinfandel and Cabernet Sauvignon) or lower alcohol levels (Pinot Noir and many white varietals), but there is always some variation from producer to producer. Some wine falls outside of this range, for instance Port weighs in closer to 20%, while Muscat and Riesling are usually a bit below 10%.
Wine Style Guide
Light & Fruity
- Red wines that are more fruit-forward and lighter in tannin and body.
Smooth & Supple
- Medium bodied reds that go down easy, with smooth tannins and supple fruit.
Earthy & Spicy
- Wines where earthy and/or spicy dominate the flavors – typically medium to full body.
Big & Bold
- Full bodied wines that have concentrated fruit and are higher in alcohol and/or tannins. Some need age.

Harpen opens businessWritten by Beth Irwin | | email@example.com
"You can take the attitude of 'I'm stuck in Toledo and there's nothing I can do about it,' but realize that you could be stuck anywhere and not be able to do anything about it. Whatever your passion or avocation is, you can do it here."
So said Jim Harpen, president of The Land Contract Store, which opened its doors last month in Sylvania Township. The company may be new, but Harpen is no stranger to Toledo, having spent 12 years in television news at WTVG. Since the late 1990s, Harpen has traveled wherever his ideas and aspirations have sent him.
In 2005, Harpen moved to South Florida to launch a magazine, but the venture was rained out by category 5 Hurricane Wilma. That left Harpen with a couple of options, including returning to Toledo or remaining in South Florida. He went to work at WIOD, a news-talk station in Miami. In less than a year, however, he returned to the Toledo area to be closer to family and friends, even though finding a job was going to be a challenge.
"Jobs are plentiful down there. One of the first things I noticed was that the [South Florida] Sun-Sentinel had a Help Wanted section that was 26 or 27 pages long," Harpen said. "One of the toughest things about coming back to Toledo was knowing that I was coming back to a tougher job market, and you don't really realize it until you start looking for a job at the age of 45 or 46."
Comparing living in Toledo with living in Fort Lauderdale, Harpen said it is difficult to get around in South Florida. His 23-mile commute to WIOD often exceeded an hour.
"The amount of time you spend in traffic is a frustration. The amount of money you spend on housing is a frustration. You get paid like you would in Toledo, but you pay to live as if you're in Upper Manhattan," he said.
He adds that the personality of South Florida is very different from Toledo.
"When I used to hear a civic booster say, 'You know, Toledo is a very friendly town,' I would think that's the kind of thing a civic booster would say when they couldn't find anything else to say about a town, but it's God's-honest truth," Harpen said. "Striking up a casual conversation with someone in South Florida is almost unheard of. At first it's a novelty, almost amusing, but after a while it wears on you."
Harpen said one thing South Florida has going for it is a willingness to embrace change. "New is old down there. People are trying new things all the time. Here, we tend to be on the tail end of a trend.
"It's tough to sell ideas here. In general, Toledoans tend to be more comfortable with tangible things like stores and factories rather than new concepts or ideas."
Even the idea for The Land Contract Store, Harpen said, will take time to establish itself here. With banks tightening credit standards, almost a third of people who could have qualified for a bank loan a year ago no longer can, which means slow home sales.
Homeowners who want or need to sell due to job changes or other circumstances have fewer eligible buyers. Harpen, who has mortgage lending experience, developed the idea for The Land Contract Store as a way to help homeowners become home sellers in a tough market made more complicated by the collapse of the subprime mortgage industry.
"People will say, 'Gee, I don't know of anyone who has used a land contract to sell a home, or a lease/purchase option.' And they don't really want to be the first one on the block to try it. But as soon as the company has its feet on the ground in Toledo, we are going to look at expanding into other markets that have a track record of more readily adapting to new ideas."
Even if Toledoans seem hesitant to embrace new ideas, Harpen said he's noticed more of a grassroots acceptance of entrepreneurship.
"That's how companies like Jeep and Owens-Illinois came to be. It was through entrepreneurship … people with ideas."
