America's physicians and surgeons are now facing a malignancy more severe than any epidemic. The outcome of the struggle against this pestilence certainly will determine the future of the medical profession and may help to determine the future of all of our free institutions.
In past issues of this Bulletin, we have discussed in some depth the conspiratorial drive to convert the United States into a totalitarian dictatorship. That goal cannot be reached, of course, until every institution and profession is brought under the rigidly authoritarian control of central planners in the federal government. Freedom of choice and enterprise must be excised totally from our society. And even the most intrinsically personal decisions must be left to the arbitrary control of federal bureaucrats.
The destruction of our independent system of health care is an essential element of this drive. For the Master Conspiracy cannot succeed in enslaving America until every physician has been made an employee of the government and every citizen made dependent upon the government for all medical care.
Without any doubt, the American medical profession, as presently constituted, has been one of the most impenetrable roadblocks in the path of the treacherous schemers working to sovietize America. Physicians, due to the very nature of their profession, are tremendously independent. And as a result of the high standards which they have set for themselves, and their role as relievers of suffering, they are highly respected and command a great following. In fact, opinion polls indicate that the physician is the most respected man in the community.
Doctors have played leading or important roles in most of the key events in our nation's history. From the winning of the revolution to the present time, medical men have helped to champion the cause of individual liberty. Even today, the membership of The John Birch Society is composed of a higher percentage of physicians than any other profession. A fact which certainly is exemplified by the COUNCIL of the Society.
Through the largely unrestricted efforts of our medical profession, Americans today enjoy the finest system of health care anywhere in the world. Many diseases which troubled mankind for centuries have been all but eradicated. And progress is being made in the struggle against other grievous maladies.
Undoubtedly the preeminent factor in the creation of our tremendous health care system has been freedom of choice. In our country, patients always have had the right to select their own physicians and even to choose between various methods of treatment. Doctors have selected the branch of medicine or field of research that they desired to practice as well as the size and location of their clientele, with their choice contingent only upon their own capability, or preference, or natural economic forces. If the current attack on our medical system succeeds, all of this will change drastically — and soon!
For the American people are being subjected to a well orchestrated propaganda campaign based upon trickery and outright deception to convince them that our private healthcare system is far too inefficient, expensive, and inequitable. Basing their arguments upon a completely fraudulent humanitarianism, Insiders of the Master Conspiracy and leftists in the medical profession, mass media, and Congress are calling for decisive government intervention in medical care. It is their intention to create a mandatory health system in the United States similar to the extremely dictatorial and grossly inefficient systems which exist in Great Britain, Soviet Russia, and other nations in Europe.
Concurrently with this propaganda blitz, an equally vicious campaign is being waged to condition the more than 330,000 physicians in America to accept ever increasing amounts of government regimentation of their private practices. Through regulations associated with various welfare programs, the federal government has begun instructing physicians as to whom they may treat, how they may treat them, the fees they may charge, and even what drugs they may prescribe. And federal bureaucrats are setting up professional review bodies to see that doctors toe the mark.
Although government regulation of medicine is new to the United States, it is one of the classic techniques for converting a nation into a dictatorship. In 1883 the chancellor of the German empire, Prince Otto von Bismarck, succeeded in having compulsory health insurance enacted. Sold to the German people as being absolutely necessary for their security, this program served as a springboard for the adoption of many other "humanitarian programs" — all of which served to increase governmental control over the people. And this same bellwether approach subsequently has been utilized for these same purposes in many other countries.
Using the Communist methodology of patient gradualism, promoters of nationalized medicine have been content to go after their goals in a piecemeal fashion. And having now achieved much of their program, they have intensified their efforts to have a comprehensive national health care and planning bill enacted. Before we examine any of these current proposals, however, let us first discuss the inroads that already have been made against our system of independent medical care.
A primary step, of course, in bringing any profession or industry under control of the federal government is to make that group dependent upon the state for financial remuneration for services rendered. The inauguration of the Medicare and Medicaid programs served that purpose very well indeed.
Medicare . . .
Enacted in 1965, Medicare was the first major nationwide program of government-financed health care in the United States. With a program administered directly from Washington, Medicare was designed to provide federally funded medical treatment for the elderly. Prior to the passage of the Medicare legislation, however, there existed substantial data indicating that such a program was totally unnecessary. And as no grant of power had ever been given to the federal government to become involved in medical care, this legislation clearly was unconstitutional. But as most demagogues have learned, there is something almost irresistible about an impassioned plea in behalf of the elderly.
From the inception of the program, Medicare proponents had assured concerned taxpayers that annual costs for this program would not exceed five billion dollars. Like all other government programs, Medicare requires tremendous amounts of paperwork. Indeed, the time and expense involved in filling out Medicare forms for reimbursement for medical services was directly responsible for a more than sixteen percent escalation in hospital costs during Medicare's first year of operation. Similar cost increases were experienced by physicians in their private practice. Many private hospitals and individual doctors threatened refusal to treat Medicare patients because of the paperwork involved. And some followed through on their promises.
It is axiomatic, of course, that whenever a group of citizens believes they have a right to certain services or products at little or no expense to themselves, the demand for those goods and services will increase dramatically and unnaturally. Not only the truly ill but also the malingerers make more frequent demands upon the medical profession, completely upsetting the consumption balance established through personal economic considerations. And increased demand in a marketplace with an inflexible supply always causes an increase in prices.
Medicare and other government health care plans have severely strained the fiscal stability of many hospitals by allowing recipients of their programs ("clients") to accumulate millions of dollars in hospital bills, which the federal government has either underpaid or in some cases refused to pay at all. Conversely, when the government does reimburse hospitals and physicians, it does so on a "cost-plus" or customary charge basis. Because this money is coming from the seemingly endless coffers of the federal government, little compunction is shown about increasing costs and charges to obtain as much money as possible. As conservative columnist M. Stanton Evans has observed:
These prices have zoomed upward in direct proportion to the flow of cost-plus funds for Medicare and Medicaid to physicians and hospitals, in which medical providers are reimbursed according to their "customary" charges and costs of operation. The all-too-natural result of these arrangements is to make sure that customary charges and operational costs are rapidly increased to absorb the available money.
Medicare's cost-plus system of payment has precipitated directly an increase in hospital expenses. Because hospitals are paid a daily rate related to their own operational costs, administration can no longer deny demands for higher wages or more elaborate equipment on the basis that the money is lacking. They need only to increase their operational costs by spending more money for these items. The health care consumer who is not governmentally supported has had to pay these artificially inflated costs either directly or through increased insurance premiums. To say nothing about the hard-earned tax monies which support government medical programs in the first place.
Direct annual expenditures for Medicare, which were not to exceed five billion dollars, were costing taxpayers nearly double that amount by 1970. And Medicare costs currently are running at more than fourteen billion dollars per year, with estimates that the costs will hit twenty billion dollars in the next few years. It is no wonder that since 1972 the overall cost of health care has risen by more than twenty percent. The physician component of the Consumer Price Index has risen by more than seven percent annually while costs for hospital care have continued to increase by fourteen percent each year.
Seizing upon their constituents' natural concern over rising medical costs, many leftist politicians, led by Senator Edward Kennedy, have advocated more governmental intervention into medicine as a panacea. Unfortunately, some well-meaning citizens, not understanding that too much government is the root cause of virtually all of the problems extant in the health care field, have supported these proposals.
Medicaid . . .
After succeeding in having the Medicare program enacted, as the initial piece of the nationalized medicine mosaic, the Conspiracy directed its efforts towards the passage of a more far-reaching bill. Using the same phony humanitarian appeal, the Insiders and their Communist subordinates proposed the creation of a federal program to provide health care for the "needy." Their efforts led to the enactment of the Medicaid program. The administration of this program is left to the individual states, which pay part of the costs on a matched-fund basis. Naturally, the results have been disastrous.
Between 1968 and 1975, the number of Medicaid recipients increased from 8 million to 24.7 million, while federal and state outlays increased from 3.7 billion dollars annually to more than 12.6 billion dollars. Indeed, Medicaid nearly has bankrupted some state governments.
For instance, California's Medicaid program, known as Medi-Cal, had more than 2.4 million recipients by 1971 — some twelve percent of the state's population — and the costs for the program had doubled within four years. The San Francisco Examiner warned that "The system could bankrupt the state . . ." During the fiscal year of 1969-1970, there were 141 claims filed for every 100 persons enrolled in the program. By mid-1969, a little more than three years after the program had been put into operation, more than 66 million Medi-Cal claims had been processed. Incredibly, Medi-Cal allowed a much wider range of benefits than the average workingman could afford. Of course, the tax burden of the workingman was increased to pay for these government health benefits. The situation in California was an example of conditions throughout the nation.
Medicaid had been passed, however, in the face of evidence clearly demonstrating that it was not needed. At the time of its enactment, more than ninety percent of all Americans were covered by some form of private health insurance. In addition, statistics proved that before Medicaid and Medicare the "poor" had received adequate medical attention. As Dr. Robert M. Sade observed in an article for the excellent Private Practice magazine for October 1974:
A government survey during the years 1963-1964 correlated age-adjusted hospital admission rates with income levels. The survey disclosed that families with incomes under $2,000 a year had 124 hospital admissions per 1,000 people. In the families with a near poverty income of $2,000 - 4,000 a year there were 142 admissions per 1,000. These figures contrast with hospital ad missions in families with incomes over $10,000: there were 120 admissions per 1,000 in this group. Length of stay correlated negatively with income: the highest income group had fewer days in the hospital than the other groups.
Data from a later study indicated that more than 68 percent of the low-income group saw a physician as compared with 69 percent in the middle-income group and 70 percent in the high-income group. During the year when these statistics were obtained, the lower-income group visited a physician on an average of five times, while the middle group had four visits, and the high-income group visited a physician on an average of 3.7 times. All of which goes to show that there were absolutely no sound reasons for the creation of Medicaid.
The actual reasons for the creation of the Medicare and Medicaid programs have nothing to do with medical or economic necessity. The results of these government health programs, including increased medical costs, an expanded federal bureaucracy, government regulation of doctors and hospitals, and higher taxes, are not merely incidental to these programs — they are the primary goals for which the programs were created. Complete governmental control of medicine — that is, to have every physician a government employee and every citizen dependent upon the federal government for all medical needs — is the sole purpose of these programs. Medicine is being used as a stalking horse to bring about the conversion of our Republic into a totalitarian dictatorship. And as we shall see, Medicare and Medicaid already have laid the groundwork for even more lethal infusions of government regulation into medicine.
Now that a substantial number of physicians and surgeons had become accustomed to receiving compensation from the federal government for medical services rendered to certain classes of people, the next piece of the conspiratorial mosaic was put cunningly into place. This involved the creation of the Professional Standards Review Organizations (PSRO's) in 1972. Passed as an obscure amendment to a bill increasing Social Security benefits, this legislation established a nationwide system of PSRO's virtually to dictate procedures for all phases of medical practice to physicians receiving payments from the government under any federal health care plan. In essence, PSRO's place a federal medical bureaucrat appointed by the Department of Health, Education, and Welfare between doctor and patient, interfering with a heretofore sacrosanct relationship.
Under PSRO requirements, physicians must consult published standards to determine the medical regimen they can pursue. All of these standards are based upon normative situations, virtually eliminating any personal decision-making by either doctor or patient. Obviously, standardization of medical care can result only in mediocrity. It is no wonder that some physicians angrily have labeled these standards "a PSRO cook-book."
Writing in The Review Of The News for October 10, 1973, Constitutional scholar Dan Smoot discussed the control over physicians that has been given to PSRO.
The P.S.R.O. examiners can search through a doctor's files and records — not just business files, but also the traditionally privileged and confidential medical records on patients. And the P.S.R.O. examiner needs no search warrant, court order, or other authority to make such searches. He does not need to show probable cause to believe, or even to allege belief, that the doctor has done anything wrong. All the examiner needs is a desire to make the search, and an identification card.
In fact, the P.S.R.O. examiner can second-guess a doctor's professional decision about treating a patient, and can penalize him for having made the decision — penalize him by denying him payment for the services rendered, or by recovering payments if already made. A P.S.R.O. examiner can overrule a doctor's professional decision — order him not to perform an operation he had decided to perform; order him to change the medicines he had prescribed; order him to hospitalize, or not to hospitalize, a patient.
An article which appeared in The Boston Globe on January 12, 1976, discussed another aspect of the PSRO program. This Globe piece pointed out that the Bay State PSRO, acting upon federal instructions and pursuant to a 3.2 million dollar federal contract, had just finished collecting data that "would reveal for the first time, and in vast detail, patterns of actual doctor and hospital behavior in treating Medicare and Medicaid patients."
These data include statistics concerning the drug prescription and medical treatment habits of individual physicians. Indeed, virtually every aspect of medical care and even areas classified by the Bay State PSRO as mistreatment — unnecessary surgery or hospitalization — were examined. And the chairman of the PSRO committee on data and research had informed the Globe that it probably would be necessary to disclose data identifying the individual doctors and hospitals as vital "to satisfy the legitimate rights of consumers to know what kind of service they are buying."
From the statements above, it can be seen clearly that PSRO is in keeping with the classic pattern for establishing federal control over any portion of the private sector. In PSRO, the federal government has followed up its financing of medical care with stringent regulation of the physicians and hospitals providing treatment. And through PSRO it has established the mechanism for reviewing the actions of doctors and hospitals to see that they comply with governmental guidelines. Threatened publication of statistics indicating noncompliance, although such noncompliance might well be the result of a physician providing superior medical care, undoubtedly is intended to be used as a coercive tool to eliminate any vestigial independence on the part of physicians.
National Health Insurance . . .
The next step sequentially in nationalizing medicine is to extend coverage of federal health programs from the "poor" and "aged" to everyone else. Not unexpectedly, the major legislative proposals to accomplish that very goal have come from Senator Edward Kennedy. One Kennedy bill, first introduced in 1970 and still being promoted vigorously, is entitled the Health Security Act. Actually written by the Committee for National Health Insurance, which was headed by Communist Walter Reuther, this legislation is supported by some of the most notorious radicals in the nation. Included in this group are Ralph Abernathy, John Kenneth Galbraith, Arthur Goldberg, Clark Kerr, Mrs. Martin Luther King, Carl Stokes, and others of the same revolutionary stripe.
Compulsory for all Americans, the Kennedy bill would eliminate private insurance plans. Its comprehensive health benefits would provide unlimited coverage for physicians' visits and care, including surgery, and for hospital treatment. Within certain very generous limits, nursing home care and hospital psychiatric treatment would be covered. Also, proposed benefits include payment to physicians for psychiatric care and for up to twenty visits to a doctor for each illness. And most of the cost for eye glasses, medical ambulance services, physiotherapy, and home health care would be paid by the government.
It is no wonder that conservative estimates of the initial annual cost of implementing the Kennedy plan run as high as eighty billion dollars. The program would be financed from general revenues, employee contributions, and payroll taxes. It is only fair to point out, however, that the actual cost for every other government health program has been grossly underestimated.
Kennedy and his fellow collaborators are pushing for enactment of this financially disastrous legislation at a time when the federal budget is floating towards four hundred billion dollars, with enormous annual deficits. And government, a completely unproductive parasite capable only of appropriating wealth, is now taking nearly forty-four percent of our total personal income and absorbing thirty-seven percent of our Gross National Product — to say nothing of the effects of the hidden tax of inflation. Kennedy's National Health Insurance plan would push the share of the GNP consumed by government from thirty-seven to more than forty-five percent all by itself.
An analysis of Kennedy's health bill done by the Social Security Administration more than three years ago estimated the cost of this program for a family of four at $1,271 per annum. Congressman Philip M. Crane, commenting in retrospect on the exorbitant cost, declared:
At that time, the average family in the United States was paying $550 per year for its medical care including insurance premiums. Today, 90% of our population is covered with health insurance. And that figure has been increasing.
Senator Kennedy's concern is not economic, however, but rather for the centralization of control over the entire medical profession in the hands of the federal government. Anxious not to be outdone by a Kennedy, other politicians have jumped on the socialized medicine bandwagon with programs of their own.
Richard Nixon outlined his official plan for a National Health Insurance Partnership (NHIP) in a Presidential message to the Congress on February 18, 1971. More limited in scope than Kennedy's proposal, but just as compulsory, the Nixon plan would have cost taxpayers more than forty billion dollars annually, while establishing extensive new regulations over physicians, hospitals, and patients.
Other plans, differing only slightly in nature, aimed at the same ultimate goal, have been introduced with regularity by radical members of Congress such as Senators Jacob Javits and Claiborne Pell. With consummate hypocrisy, the promoters of nationalized medicine have vociferously acclaimed Britain's National Health Service as a paradigm to be emulated by all civilized countries.
Instead of opposing these nefarious programs, opportunistic leaders of the American Medical Association, throwing integrity to the wind and in so doing sounding a possible death knell for the medical profession, actually have authored their own "compromise" health care plan. Arguing that their bill is voluntary and limited, the AMA obviously was not concerned with either the additional expense of their program or the increased regulation of their profession.
The AMA had followed a similar pattern in dealing with the Medicare and Medicaid legislation. After some initial opposition to these dangerous acts, the AMA reversed course and supported the bills. AMA leaders did claim, after enactment, that Congress had gone further than it said it would. Another major setback for the medical profession occurred in 1974 when the AMA opposed repeal of the PSRO's. In the face of a powerful and relentless enemy, the AMA clearly has abdicated its responsibilities.
Responding to its cowardice and compromise, physicians have been dropping out of the AMA at a rapid rate. The last time dues were increased, more than twelve thousand members refused to maintain their membership. In 1974, four thousand members dropped out, leaving less than half of the nation's physicians as AMA members. Attendance at the 1975 AMA Annual Convention was off nearly eighty percent from just a decade ago. And all of these statistics are indicative of the fact that America's physicians want strong, bold leaders who will accept no substitute for victory in the fight to preserve an independent medical profession.
The most recent piecemeal approach to national health insurance was proposed on January 19, 1976, by President Gerald Ford in his State of the Union Address. He called for health insurance to cover "catastrophic" illnesses for the elderly. If Ford's program is adopted, we certainly can expect that there soon will be a demand for an extension of coverage to everyone else.
British Health Service . . .
Because media and political promoters of nationalized medicine have waxed rhapsodic over the National Health Service in Great Britain, we can be certain that it is a system very similar to the one which they intend to impose in the United States. But a close examination of the National Health Service reveals that it is a fraud and disaster of monumental proportions. It has succeeded only in making every physician an overworked and underpaid employee of the government.
In 1975, a party of American doctors and Congressmen made a fact-finding visit to England to study NHS firsthand. Their findings were reported in the September, 1975 issue of Private Practice magazine. Some of what they learned has been incorporated into the following paragraphs.
Established in 1948, pursuant to the National Health Service Act of 1946, the initial NHS budget was 148 million pounds. Today costs exceed 4.5 billion pounds, and the Labor government has promised to increase the budget at the rate of ten percent each year. By some official estimates, salaries and administrative expenses of the government bureaucrats who run the NHS absorb nearly thirty percent of its budget.
Over-utilization precipitated by the fact that there is no charge to the patients using the NHS has created huge waiting lists (over seven hundred thousand persons on these lists last fall) for virtually all needed surgery. The fact that services are free also encourages patients to remain in the hospital much longer than necessary, thus further exacerbating the problem of over-utilization.
Many persons desperately needing treatment for malignancies or other pressing medical problems have expired before receiving lifesaving measures. In some cases, these individuals already had waited months for their turn for the "free" medical treatment being paid for by their taxes. The NHS Ombudsman reported on the case of a woman who had waited months for open-heart surgery. After finally being called into the hospital, she was discharged without surgery due to crowding of the surgical schedule. Four and a half months later, she was readmitted, only to be discharged again four days later. Scheduled to enter the hospital for a third time several months after the second incident, her surgery was again canceled. She died two days after this third cancellation. This particular case is very typical of the NHS.
One orthopedic surgeon reported that any older person needing a hip replacement will probably die before getting to the top of the list. It takes an average of nine months just to get an appointment with an orthopedist. Other specialties are not much better off, with waiting lists for hospital admissions ranging from one to two weeks for acute cases to two to three years for hernias and other non-life-threatening problems.
Private Practice quoted a prominent British physician concerning the effects of this crowding:
Dr. Charles Loehry, chairman of the medical staffs at Poole Hospital and Royal Victoria Hospital, both in Bournemouth, said that crowding has led to patients who might otherwise have lived dying at home before they can be admitted; patients dying in the emergency rooms after waiting hours for a bed; cancer patients waiting up to six weeks for treatment while their tumors spread; and emergency cases smuggled into beds of patients being operated on, so when they return from surgery there is no room for them. Doctors call this "musical beds."
It is not at all surprising that more than two million residents of Britain have subscribed to private health insurance, a practice still allowed — although under heavy fire from socialists who want to remove all vestiges of private medicine. The waiting lists for the few private beds in NHS hospitals are much shorter and are made up of people willing to pay to obtain quality health care. Even several of the most vociferous opponents of private hospital beds have resorted to using names other than their own to get private beds for themselves or members of their families.
Conditions under NHS, however, are no better for the doctor than for the patient. Indeed, over half of the physicians in many British hospitals are foreign-trained. This is due to the large number of British doctors emigrating annually. Each year, two examinations are given to qualify British doctors for medical practice in the United States. In 1972, 404 doctors took the test; in 1973, 828; in 1974, 1019. And 2517 doctors took this examination during January of 1975, the last examination for which we have figures. But their flight will be in vain if the American medical profession is nationalized.
The reasons for so many skilled physicians wanting to leave Britain are not hard to understand. Not only are the British hospitals overcrowded, but many were built in the nineteenth century as workhouses and later converted into hospitals. They are squalid and dirty, lack minimal fire protection, and much of their equipment is terribly outdated. A London Daily Mirror story on NHS told of patients holding cockroach races in filthy corridors. Government bureaucracy has seen to it that it takes generations to build a new hospital. Far more hospital beds were provided in the twenty-seven years preceding NHS than in the twenty-seven years since 1948.
With the atrocious food and pathetic ancillary services in most British hospitals, it is no wonder that so many dedicated healers are desperate about the quality of care received by their patients. Combining long hours, low pay, and bureaucratic harassment and paper work, the NHS is a torturous experience for its medical practitioners.
Indeed, top specialists at hospitals reach the highest pay grade of 12,000 pounds ($25,000) after fifteen years. General practitioners, who are not allowed to see their patients while they are in the hospital, get no set salaries. They are paid instead the equivalent of about $3.46 per year per patient. The average GP nets about $10,500 per year. To do so, however, he must have over three thousand patients on his list with whom he contracts for unlimited services. Of course, no physician can adequately treat three thousand individuals. But physicians are being paid for quantity, not quality.
Every American physician should consider carefully the medical situation in Great Britain. For unless all of them take strong and immediate steps, the NHS could be the shape of things to come for the American medical profession.
Because many enemies of a free and independent medical profession are participants in a Master Conspiracy, their interest is not in medicine but in total power. They will not limit their battle plans, therefore, to merely pushing for national health insurance. They will use every real and manufactured problem as justification for additional government regulation of the medical profession.
For instance, the present dramatic increase in medical malpractice insurance rates already is being used as a pretext for calling for ameliorative legislation by the federal government. Such legislation can only increase government's size and cost, while expanding its control over the medical profession. And federal legislation will affect every doctor in the land. Furthermore, there will be no opportunity for a physician to cast a retrospective vote against an enactment of this kind by changing the location of his practice. It is incumbent upon every medical practitioner to guard zealously against any governmental encroachments upon his rights as a free man or his responsibilities as a physician.
The battle to preserve America's tremendous private medical system is a vital component of the overall freedom fight. It is a campaign that will be won or lost in the United States. Victory can only be achieved, however, if every concerned physician joins the battle and exercises his personal influence.
The John Birch Society has been engaged in the fight for America for more than seventeen years. During that time, we have achieved a number of important victories. But we need the help of many more truly good men and women. As we have pointed out above, the prestige and following of our nation's doctors provide them with tremendous potential for playing a vital role in stopping the conspiratorial forces which are working to destroy our free society and to enslave us all.
We are exceedingly proud of the courageous physicians who are members of The John Birch Society. And we earnestly and respectfully invite all other like-minded men of medicine to join us in this crucial struggle.

Great free ride and all mountain shoes for mountain biking. I have been using mine for over 100miles on the bike and must say they are a great improvement over my old Vans. The grip from the special sole is incredible on platforms pedals.
There is plenty of padding for protention around ankle as well as protection of the toes. The sole is stiff for pedaling but not too stiff as to inhibit walking. They are confortable while walking.
The only cons that I noticed is that your feet will get hot in the summer, they are heavy, but thats part of the protection package.
Great shoes

Each holiday season, it seems as though it gets harder and harder to find that perfect gift for a loved one. Fortunately, finding that gift doesn't need to be so hard, as the recent boom in do-it-yourself home improvements has created a wealth of new ideas.
Rather than giving one more pair of socks or another sweater this holiday season, consider the following gift ideas for the do-it-yourselfer in your family.
The gift that keeps on giving. One of the most popular gifts every holiday season is a magazine subscription to a favorite magazine. To gift givers, magazine subscriptions are popular because they're pretty inexpensive. To the gift receiver, magazines are the gift that keeps on giving. Whether the magazines comes one every two months, once a month, bi-monthly, or once a week, your family or friend will love the wealth of new information it provides throughout the year. A yearly subscription to Woodcraft Magazine provides six issues per year, and offers a host of season-appropriate articles and tips on do-it-yourself projects.
Make the math a little easier. Nearly every do-it-yourselfer runs into problems stemming from incorrect calculations when cutting angles. A good quality protractor takes those errors out of the equation. Many have two scales, a red scale and arrow that show the angle for a miter joint, and a black scale and arrows that provide the angle to fit a single work piece to an angle, making miter cut calculations has never been easier. There are even various models of protractors to choose from.
For the multi-tasker. For the jack of all trades do-it-yourself, finding the right gift can be a major hassle. A multi-master could be just the thing. Because no two DIY projects are the same, a multi-master uses a broad assortment of accessory blades to handle sanding, scraping and hundreds of previously "manual" tasks. Gone are the days of sanding tight spaces with paper, as a multi-masters profiled sanding pads make the job far less "hands-on."
Thanks to the booming DIY movement, finding that perfect gift for the do-it-yourselfer in your family has never been easier.

TAMPA, Florida -- Tampa police say68adults were arrested during the Gasparilla 2013 festivities in downtown Tampa on Saturday.
Sixtyof those arrests were for misdemeanors such as disorderly conduct, petty theft, and possession of marijuana. Thirty-one of the misdemeanor arrests were for underage drinking by an adult 18-20 years old.
The Tampa Police Department says it did not encounter as many younger teens under the influence as in previous years, thanks to a zero tolerance education campaign.
Gasparilla has been a Tampa tradition since 1947, and ranks as the third largest parade in the United States, according to the event's official website. It attracts an estimated one half million attendees annually.

On Friday evening, the Borger Lady Bulldogs came out and proved they are a lot better team than the one that fell to the Pampa Lady Harvesters in the District 1-3A opener by 48 points on January 10th.
Unfortunately, the Lady Harvesters left Tex Hanna Gym with their second win over the Lady Bulldogs in district play, due to a steal and a quick basket in the final three seconds to give Pampa the 40-38 win.
The Lady Bulldogs had a solid night shooting from the floor hitting 16/31 shots and did a solid job defensively led by sophomore McKenzie Loftis who had seven steals in the game.
But the Lady Bulldogs struggled at the free throw line hitting 4 of 11 attempts, while the Lady Harvesters went 10 of 15 from the charity line.
Both teams opened the game a little sluggish offensively playing to a 7-9 score, in favor of Pampa, after the first period.
The Lady Harvesters would take a six point lead by the 5:$5 mark of the second period. But the Lady Bulldogs started to get some good things going offensively, starting with a three pointer by freshman Tiffanie Prater and baskets by Loftis, Emma Wood, Nellie Embers, and Katie Sizemore to give Borger a 23-20 lead at halftime.
In the third period, the Lady Bulldogs built a five point lead on a three pointer by Loftis to make it a 31-26 score at the 3:00 mark.
But the Lady Harvesters did a good job making key shots to keep the Lady Bulldogs from pulling away and cutting their deficit to one point going into the fourth period.
Pampa opened the fourth period scoring four straight points. But a basket by Loftis and a free throw by Embers tied the game up at 34-34 with 4:20 to go.
Pampa would again take the lead at the 2:09 mark. However, the Lady Bulldogs quickly tied the game up again when Loftis found an open Embers on the base line for an easy basket.
After a Lady Bulldog turnover with 56 seconds left, Pampa had an opportunity to kill the clock and take the game's last shot.
As the clock approached five seconds, the Lady Harvesters finally took their shot which missed with the Lady Bulldogs coming up with the rebound.
However, a hard bump by the Pampa player caused the ball to come loose from the Lady Bulldog player's hand, leading Pampa to get the quick steal and put in the game winning shot as the buzzer sounded.
The heartbreaking loss sends the Lady Bulldogs to 0-4 in district play, 4-18 overall, while Pampa improves to 2-2 in district and 12-12 overall.
The Lady Bulldogs will next host Dalhart on Tuesday, beginning at 6:00 p.m.
Borger game stats: 2PT-14/24 for 58%; 3PT-2/7 for 29%; Total FG-16/31 for 52%; FT-Borger 4/11 for 36% Pampa 10/15 for 66%; Total rebounds-Borger 21 Pampa 25; Turnovers-Borger 23 Pampa 18

Boasting a stunning collage of rolling green hills and towering snow-capped mountains, remarkable architecture and quaint coffee shops, Austria is a land of incredible variety. Whether you've come to feast on the sumptuous local cuisine, or tour the winding Danube River, you'll likely find your visit too short to truly explore each of Austria's wealth of attractions.
Best Things to Do in Austria
- Strap on your skis and grab your lift tickets to Austria's 20,000 kilometers of world-renowned slopes that crisscross through the Alps, funneling into lavish resort towns dotted throughout the country, each with its own flavor and style
- Slip into the warm waters of Austria's famed therapeutic thermal springs, and feel the weight of the world melt away
- Venture into Austria's pristine countryside, with more of 70% of the country covered in picturesque mountains just waiting to be explored
Discover Austria
Austria is blessed with outstanding natural beauty. If you want to catch some of the highlights, take a drive on the Grossglockner High Alpine Road, a long and winding mountain pass with unbelievable panoramic views stretching as far as the eye can see.
Austria's Pleasures
Gorgeous landscapes are not Austria's only blessing. Austria's culinary capital, Graz, is a food-lover's paradise. For a more melodic holiday, follow the sound of music to Salzburg, birthplace of Mozart and home to the Von Trapps of Hollywood fame.
Plan your Austria Holiday
When booking your flights to Austria, keep local weather in mind. Austrian summers are mild and great for sightseeing, while the colder winter months are perfect for speeding down the slopes. Check online for cheap hotels in Austria to maximize your vacation budget. Whenever you travel, booking your tickets well in advance is the best way to secure the most advantageous flight deals to Austria. With airberlin, you will travel in comfort and arrive refreshed.

These are the two most recent scarves I've acquired, and somehow I feel that they ought to stick together as roses and butterflies should! The slip is also new, and I am so deeply in love with it. The lace on the bottom is much more decadent than any of my others to-date, although the length does not exactly match up too well with most of my dresses and skirts. I don't terribly care, that is what wind is for.
I've also debated on the dress for weeks, but it was on sale for rather inexpensive and it's nice. I really like the shape and it's very comfortable so I am looking forward to wearing it during summer days.
I've been meaning to check out the Marc Jacobs Splash scents, but I'm often chased away from Sephora's jarring lighting. Today I ran into them at a perfume counter, and sprayed a bit of my cardigan with 'Pear,' as it was one I had smelled briefly and rather liked (Grapefruit was nice, if a bit sweet, and I didn't particularly care for Basil, much as I like its pale green color).
Marc Jacobs Splash- Pear
I am quite taken with it, and it comes in a very large spray thingy (articulate today, I see) which costs less than my regular perfume. I am very tempted to throw all money to the wind and buy all three just so I can have them sitting on my table like little liquid pillars of nectar.

Corona del Mar High product Sam Mikulak and the other four members of the United States Olympic team finished a disappointing fifth in the men's gymnastics team final contested Monday in London.
The Americans were plagued by mistakes on the pommel horse and the floor exercise to finish with 269.952 points. China (275.997), Japan (271.952) and Great Britain (271.711) earned the top three spots to claim gold, silver and bronze medals, respectively.
Team USA had topped the point list in the team qualifications on Saturday, posting 274.342 points, which was followed by Russia (272.595) and Great Britain (272.420).
Mikulak, a 19-year-old Newport Coast resident who competes at the University of Michigan, led three American gymnasts in the pommel horse Monday with a score of 14.500. His score featured no deductions, but his two teammates fell from the apparatus, leaving the Americans with the seventh-best team score in the event.
Mikulak, the NCAA overall champion in 2011 who was third overall at the 2012 NCAA championships, touched one hand on the floor after a triple-twisting back somersault in his floor exercise routine. The resulting deduction produced a score of 14.600, worst among three Americans in the event. Team USA posted the third-best combined score in the floor exercise.
Mikulak posted scores of 15.966 in the vault and 15.266 on the parallel bars to round out events in which he took part on Monday. Both scores were second-best among three America competitors. Team USA ranked No. 3 on the parallel bars and No. 6 in the vault.
The Americans ranked third and fourth as a team on high bar and rings, respectively, Monday.
Mikulak will compete in the individual vault final on Monday at 7:41 a.m. PT.
Newport Harbor High product Misty May-Treanorand partner Kerri Walsh Jennings, in search of their third straight Olympic gold medal in women's beach volleyball, remained unbeaten in Olympic competition on Monday.
The two-time defending gold medalists topped Kristyana Kolocova and Marketa Slukova of the Czech Republic, 21-14, 21-19.
The Group C match began on May-Treanor's 35th birthday, but ended after midnight. May-Treanor and Walsh Jennings, who have never lost a set in three Olympics, had to rally from an 18-15 deficit in the second game to complete their second sweep in these Games.
May-Treanor had 14 kills, 12 digs and one ace serve, while Walsh Jennings had seven kills, seven digs, three blocks and three aces.
On Sunday, Newport Harbor High product April Ross, alongside Jennifer Kessy, won their opening match in Group D, 21-11, 21-18, over Ana Gallay and Virginia Zonta of Argentina.
Ross had nine kills, four digs, three aces and one block.
May-Treanor and Walsh won their opener on Saturday, 21-18, 21-19, over Australia's Natalie Cook and Tamsin Hinchley. May-Treanor had 14 kills, 14 digs and one ace serve in the match.
Ross and Kessy face Marleen Van Iersel and Sanne Keizer of the Netherlands in Group D action Tuesday.
May-Treanor and Walsh are back in action on Wednesday against Doris and Stefanie Schwaiger of Austria in another Group C clash.
UC Irvine alums Ryan Bailey and Tim Hutten each scored a goal as the U.S. Olympic men's water polo team held off Montenegro, 8-7, in group play Sunday.

Last night, after spending the day attempting to clean up my room and fill up my new filing cabinet (not a hard task, but a big one I'll tell you), I sat down to the computer to find a tweet and forum post alerting me to some awesome news.
In the new issue is my Undergrowth pattern, a color stranded hat with a double! braid! The hat is worked in Nature Spun Sport, and you achieve different sizes (18.5, 20, 21.5″) by adjusting your needles. Best of all, because this is Knitty, it's free! I hope you enjoy it.
I'm headed out to Durham for my book signing soon, so I won't be updating my pattern shop until later today. In the mean time, you can find more details about Undergrowth on Ravelry or head over to Knitty to print out the pattern.
In this issue of Knitty, you'll also find a pretty rockin' review of The Red Collection by the editorial staff. So cool! Here's a snapshot of the review, if you're interested.
I must thank my gorgeous model, Mallory. She really knows how to show off the handknits.
And my favorite part of the hat, the top:
Isn't she just gorgeous?

The Catholic University for Independent Thinkers
UD's Spanish Program celebrates the splendor of the Hispanic World, of Hispanidad, concentrating on the grand, the heroic, the poetic, the creative, the artisctic, the holy, the stoic and other admirable facets of the legacy and contemporary reality of Spain and Spanish America. The Program also offers an interdisciplinary approach to Hispanidad through courses in Spanish language, literature, history, linguistics, and art history. Finally, the courses examine the tension between the unity and the rich diversity within the Hispanic world.
Language Skills: language classes at UD aim at the acquisition of the four skills: listening, speaking, reading, and writing. Students gain knowledge and confidence as they progress through the lower division sequence: First Year Spanish I, II and Second Year Spanish I. For students who want to continue improving their language skills we offer two upper division courses: Advanced Communication/Grammar and Advanced Composition/Grammar.
Our Second Year Spanish II introduces students to the heritage of the Spanish-speaking world within the context of the Western Tradition emphasized in the Core Curriculum at UD. The survey includes literature, history, art history, and music. This interdisciplinary course is the point of departure for advanced study in literature, history, art history, and linguistics.
Advanced courses in literature, history, art history, and linguistics continue our exploration of the Hispanic world. On this level students do research papers, written in Spanish, in many of the courses. Topics can be chosen from a wide spectrum of subjects.

The Carbon High cross country team finished well in two meets they competed in last week.
On Wednesday the team traveled to North Sanpete for an invitational meet. There were 14 teams in the competition.
Paul Goodrich finished third overall in the boys varsity race. He ran the course in 17 minutes and 23 seconds. Jacob Perez was the teams second runner to finish, followed by Kent Olson, Beau Morley, Sam Madrid, and Jordan Burrows.
There were some strong teams from Payson and Spanish Fork, but Goodrich out ran all of their best.
The varsity team, as a whole, finished in 6th place overall.
In the junior varsity race, Jared Richens, a 9th grader from Mont Harmon, ran a very good race with a time of 22.39. Brett Wells and Stetson Kunz also had a strong effort and a good time for the distance.
Katie Hobbs improved her time in this race and managed to stay in the middle of the pack.
On Friday, the running Dinos went to the Murray Invitational meet in the Salt Lake Valley.
The race itself was a little longer than normal cross country distances at 5K. That is about 200 meters more than the normal three mile race for a cross country meet.
Goodrich placed 15th overall out of about 300 runners.
The meet was a large one with most 1A to 5A schools competing. In the 3A division Goodrich's running got him a fifth place.
Stetson Kunz and Brett Wells continue to run better each race, and this one was no exception.
The teams next race will be on Friday at Spanish Fork.

Video: Lawmakers To Vote Today on Drones at NF Air Base
NIAGARA FALLS, NY - Lawmakers in Washington are expected to approve a plan this week that would bring drones to the Niagara Falls Air Base.
Deep cuts were proposed earlier this year for the Air National Guard's 107th airlift wing, and a new drone mission could mean new life for the air reserve station.
Lawmakers say the House and Senate will be vote sometime before by the weekend on the Defense Authorization Bill, which has already been approved by a House-Senate conference committee.
The agreement is big for the federal government and even bigger for the local economy. The Department of Defense wants a more lean and dynamic military with the use of drones. The base looks like it'll be part of that vision. If Congress supports the deal, the base would stay open and more jobs could come to the region.
"To now have something here that is a future mission and enduring mission that would hopefully sustain for several years to come, it's exciting to have that," said John Cooper, the vice chair of NIMAC, which has hired lobbyists to vouch for the drones.
For years, the 107th wing has deployed and repaired C-130s. But, because of cost-cutting measures by the government, the squad was on the chopping block. While the 914th wing would be unaffected, the proposal still put the whole base in jeopardy. U.S. Sen. Charles Schumer says the new mission increases the chances that the C-130s will stay and boost jobs.
"It doesn't guarantee that they'll stay [the C-130s] but it makes it much, much more likely, now we can make the arguments on why Niagara is better than other places, under the old program there would've been cuts everywhere," said Schumer.
Right now, 800 people are employed at the 107th. The drone program would bring 500 jobs. Schumer takes the drone program further, by revealing that the military would not just deploy the drones overseas.
"The Air Force and Border Patrol want to expand the use of drones to patrol our borders to prevent terrorists from coming over the border or prevent smugglers from smuggling drugs over the border," he said.
NIMAC and lawmakers says it's unclear when the drones will actually show in Niagara Falls. They're already being flown out of Syracuse. While some oppose the use of drones, fearing they kill innocent people, the government thinks drones will advance America's fight against terrorism.
Schumer adds that people would not see drones in the air, because they fly too high.
The House Rules Committee addressed the Authorization Bill Wednesday evening. The bill is scheduled to be voted on by the end of the week.
Both offices for Congresswoman Kathy Hochul and Congressman-elect Chris Collins say they're eager to have the bill passed.

BUFFALO, NY - Just weeks after the school shooting tragedy in Newtown, Connecticut, New York State passed the toughest gun laws in the nation, including the ban of high capacity magazines and assault weapons.
Now comes word comes that several Erie County Republicans have introduced a bill to the legislature opposing the SAFE act, and asking for a repeal and revision of the law.
Erie County Legislator Ed Rath is the lead sponsor on a new resolution calling for the revision and repeal of the recently passed safe act. Rath has the support of four other members, but is looking for more. He told us Monday night, "my colleagues in the Republican caucus unanimously are urging Albany to revise this legislation which we believe is a violation of our consitutionally protected second amendment rights."
What Rath is especially upset with is the way the process was handled, the law was proposed by the Governor on January 14th and passed the very next day.
Rath supports several aspects of the safe act including tougher penalties for the killing of a first responder and protecting information about registered gun owners. But he says "we need a thoughtful process whereby the public can weigh in on the law and tell their perspective to state legislators, right now , no conversation and process as this law was passed."
Rath wants the resolution to come up for a vote and hopefully be approved at the next legislative meeting a week from Thursday.
He told us Monday night that three counties have already voted to repeal the law and he wants Erie County to be the fourth to send a symbolic message to Albany.

J.R. Smith Makes a Nice Play
Brian DiMenna
I was doing a little analysis of J.R. Smith's performance in Thursday night's win over the Spurs and this play stood out for some reason. Sure, there were some nice entry passes that I flagged, as well, and oh man a really nice little piece of footwork on a switch in the second quarter, but then also this. This one seemed worth pointing out. Maybe even rewatching … oh … a few dozen times or so.
I've written this before, but there's a tendency as fans to focus more on what athletes can't do than what they can, something I'm as guilty of as anyone. It's a tendency that seems particularly common when it comes to J.R. Smith, a guy whose talent doesn't always seem to match his production. There's often that gnawing sense that what's already a really nice player could maybe even be a little bit more, a complaint heard less and less during what's been one of the best stretches of his career.
But even when things aren't going so well, and maybe you're tightening the old vice grip on the remote in frustration, it's worth remembering that for whatever things J.R. can't do, he can do that, and there's not THAT many folks who can.

THE ISLANDERS' TOP TEN PROSPECTSPresenting our end-of-season scouts' poll
With less than eight weeks to go before the draft – and with a pair of key kids still playing in the Canadian junior playoffs – the Point Blank 2010-11 Final Prospect Rankings have been completed.
The process was the same as our end-of-2010 rankings.
Polled: Eight NHL scouts not affiliated with the Islanders.
Criteria: All levels of hockey, limited to 20 games or fewer played in the NHL.
Upside: Included after each ranking is the player's maximum upside should he reach the NHL. Repeat: maximum upside in the NHL.
Since our last rankings, Travis Hamonic and Jesse Joensuu have graduated and low-ranked Robin Figren appears to be heading back home to Sweden for at least one season. Ty Wishart, acquired for Dwayne Roloson, has now played 25 NHL games and is ineligible for this list. Without further adieu…
1. Nino Niederreiter, Portland (WHL) – first line wing. After scoring 41 goals in 55 regular season games, El Nino has been superb in the playoffs. Thanks in large part to Nino's heroics, Portland will play Kootenay in the WHL Final. Since his only options next season are junior hockey or the NHL, Niederreiter will be an Islander in 2011-12.
SNY video: Portland assistant coach Travis Green
2. Kevin Poulin, Bridgeport (AHL) – No. 1 goaltender. He was outstanding in his one game a week in Bridgeport, and even better in the bulk of his ten games with the Islanders. Will likely start the season in the AHL, perfectly fine considering he is coming back from the second kneecap injury of his career.
3. Calvin de Haan, Oshawa (OHL) – top-pair defenseman. Even his junior coach knows de Haan will be a pro next season. The talented puck-mover belongs in Bridgeport for at least the first half of next season, but will almost certainly see some action with the Islanders depending on the health of the team.
SNY video: Oshawa head coach Chris DePiero
4. Kirill Kabanov, Lewiston (QMJHL) – second line wing. After a very inconsistent regular season, Kabanov lit it up in the QMJHL playoffs (12-8-20 in 15 games). With the Maineiacs, Kabanov is becoming a man. Both the kid and his coaches deserve a lot of credit. This is an extremely positive development for the Islanders.
PB video: Kabanov
5. Matt Donovan, Denver (NCAA) – second pair defenseman. He left Denver feeling like he had nothing else to prove at the collegiate level, but the flashy Donovan needs to upgrade his play in his own end and his strength. Proper development in Bridgeport is crucial for Donovan to become an impact NHLer in a few years.
SNY video: Denver coach George Gwozdecky
6. Brock Nelson, North Dakota (NCAA) – second line center. Needs another two years with the Fighting Sioux, for whom he'll play big minutes after a solid freshman season. Despite suffering a serious, um, lower-body injury in the NCAA tournament, the Islanders' 2010 first round pick is doing well and is on schedule.
SNY video: North Dakota coach Dave Hakstol
7. Casey Cizikas, Mississaugua-St. Michael's (OHL) – third line center. While Niederreiter and Kabanov have deservedly received some Islanders-connected press for their strong playoffs, Cizikas – curiously – has gotten little while leading St. Mike's in the OHL playoffs. Could it be because he has yet to be signed? Naaaah. More curiously, Team Canada's versatile center at the WJC didn't even rate a top-ten mention in The Hockey News' list of Islanders prospects. (It's a conspiracy!) Cizikas, who will play in the Memorial Cup with host St. Mike's, may not have Nelson's upside, but he's more of a sure bet to play in the NHL. He'll be signed after the Memorial Cup.
SNY video: St. Mike's coach Dave Cameron
8. Kirill Petrov, Yugra (KHL) – second line wing. If just one of the third-round Kirills hits his potential someday down the road in the NHL, consider it a bonus for the slow and steady rebuild. If both do, it's a friggin' bonanza. The 6-3 Petrov was a bleh 8-11-19 in 47 games this season after his trade to Yugra. A source told Point Blank that if Petrov plays the fourth and final year of his contract in the KHL, it could be back with Kazan. He should be at Islanders Prospect Camp again this summer.
PB video: Petrov
9. Mikko Koskinen, Bridgeport (AHL) – No. 1 goaltender. As Al Montoya has demonstrated, goaltenders – in this case, a European facing a whole different game in North America – can often take time to develop. The 6-6 Koskinen played impressively in the final month of the season in Bridgeport.
10. Rhett Rakhshani, Bridgeport (AHL) – third line forward. Enjoyed a terrific first season of pro with 24-38-62 in 68 games in Bridgeport. Size (5-10 190) could be a hurdle. Speed and smarts are his assets.
Also receiving consideration:
Anders Nilsson, Lulea (Sweden) – No. 2 goaltender (still unsigned, still untested in North America).
David Ullstrom, Bridgeport (AHL), Anders Lee, Notre Dame (NCAA), Jason Gregoire, North Dakota (NCAA) – third line forwards.
Mark Katic, Bridgeport (AHL), Blake Kessel, New Hampshire (NCAA), Aaron Ness, Minnesota (NCAA) – third pair defensemen.
By this point, it should probably go without saying that several key current Islanders roster members (Tavares, Hamonic, etc.) were drafted in 2006 or much more recently, so the Islanders possess an exciting combination of prospects and young NHLers. But we said it anyway. Garth Snow has also unearthed a pair of gems – Matt Moulson and Michael Grabner – that have not even reached NHL middle age.
Perhaps best of all for the Country, the Islanders' fifth overall pick in the 2011 NHL Draft in June is not on this list. You could probably slot him right now in the No. 2 spot and move everyone else back down a notch. With the new 18-year-old, the Islanders' prospect depth chart will rank safely among the top-third in the 30-team NHL.
Now it's on the Islanders organization to develop its talented youngsters and surround them with the right teammates. The odds remain the same: there's a good chance at least half of the Point Blank Top 10 will not have standout NHL careers. Over the last four seasons, the Islanders have not come close to making the playoffs. A consistent contender is not built on draft picks and prayers.
Comments on Islanders prospects and this list are invited.

It's finally here. Sony Ericsson has finally released the Xperia X1. Now it's time to see if the phone can live up to the hype.
The Xperia X1 is definitely a full featured phone. It's a quad band phone that works on the 3G network. It also includes Wi-Fi, Bluetooth 2.0 with A2DP and miniUSB connection. On top of all this it has GPS, FM Radio and a whole host of music functions. It's definitely not lacking anything you could want.
As for how it works we must say the system is well designed. It is fast and responsive. Windows Mobile works well on the phone and doesn't have any major flaws. The full QWERTY keyboard that slides out is a nice feature and a good choice rather then trying to copy an iPhone with a full touch screen.
The one real downside is the price point. The expected price is going to be around $1000 which is high compared to some of phones that are in the same category of full featured phones. Althrough it's high priced, depending on the user it may be well worth it. It can definitely be used as a replacement to the laptop especially if you travel a lot and don't want to bulky laptop with you everywhere you go.
Overall the Sony Ericsson Xperia X1 is definitely worth a look at. The long wait has been worth it and if you've been salavating over it this long the stop waiting and get to www.puremobile.com and buy it already.

By C.J. MCMANUSSun Advocate community editor
Wellington city officials considered several motions during the Sept. 24 council meeting. Most notably, they finalized their agreement to install a new cell tower and set a date for a public review of fee schedule increases for city residents. A public hearing to discuss the rate changes will be conducted on Oct. 8.
After six months working out contract details, Wellington officials signed a contract Wednesday night that will put a new Verizon cell tower near Middle Miller Creek and Ridge Road.
"The tower should not only help with reception here in Wellington, but will also assist outlying areas such as East Carbon and those commuting from Huntington to Price," said Wellington Councilmember Ed Chavez.
Chavez reported that survey work had already started at that site and that the tower could be complete in a months time.
"We are hoping to see it up within a month or two but it could take as long as a year, it really depends on the contractor," explained the Wellington councilmember.
Despite the benefit to many in the county, the tower will come at no cost to the city. In fact, Verizon has leased the property and therefore residents will see an increase in their tax base because of the communication company's expansion.
"I think this tower is going to be a big asset to the area," said Chavez. "There are so many dead spots in our area and this tower should alleviate many of those problems."
Upon closing the tower issue, the council moved on to proposed rate changes for many of the fees the city charges its residents for municipal services and property.
Councilmembers have been discussing the fee increases for more than a month attempting to find a middle ground between a fair price for their residents and a schedule that more closely matches the fees charged in other cities around the county.
The topic most discussed by councilmembers was the impending increase for the cost of cemetery lots within the city.
Officials plan to raise the rates to $350 for residents and $550 for non-residents. As the city is running low on space at their city cemetery as it is, the council imposed a moratorium on the purchase of plots until the new rates can be discussed and possibly ratified.
City officials did state however, that this moratorium would be lifted for city residents who have an immediate need for a plot.
Some other proposed rate increases include:
â¢Pavilion rental - $25 for residents, $45 for non-residents.
â¢Concession stand permits - $50 a day for residents, $75 a day for non-residents.
â¢Police and fire reports - $25 traffic accident, $10 plus 10 cents per sheet civil and criminal matters plus a $30 charge for photographs and a $5 charge for compact disc.
â¢Other rates up for discussion include, application fees, copies (which the city discussed asking residents to take elsewhere as the cost of large copy orders ties up staff for more time than the fee addresses), court fees, document research, dog licenses, facsimiles, fire inspections, rent of the multipurpose room, notary service, return check fees, utility fees and several others.
Anyone interested in a full list of proposed rate changes can contact Wellington City Hall or address the council at the Oct. 8 public hearing.
"We really want to be as fair was we can to our residents," said Councilmember Glen Wells. "They are the ones who provide us with our tax base and support. But we do have to get some of these fees to a rate closer to that of our neighboring cities."
