|Controlling dust from concrete saw cutting.

|Cutting concrete with gas-powered saws is ubiquitous in the construction industry and a source of exposure to respirable crystalline silica. Volunteers from the New England Laborers Training Center were recruited to participate in a field experiment examining dust reductions through the use of water, from a hose and from a sprayer, as a dust control. In four series of tests, reinforced concrete pipe was cut under both "dry" and "wet" control conditions. Overall, the geometric mean respirable dust concentration for "dry" cutting (14.396 mg/m(3)) exceeded both types of water-based controls by more than tenfold. Wet cutting reduced the respirable dust concentration by 85% compared with dry cutting when comparing tests paired by person and saw blade (n = 79 pairs). Using a respirable cyclone, a total of 178 samples were taken. Due to the high variability in dust exposure found in this and other studies of saw cutting, the data were examined for potential exposure determinants that contribute to that variability. Using mixed models, three fixed effects were statistically significant: control condition, worker experience, and location. A random effect for subject was included in the model to account for repeated measures. When each of the significant fixed effects was included with the random effect, it was apparent that inclusion of worker experience or location reduced the between-worker component of exposure variability, while inclusion of control condition (wet vs. dry) explained a large portion of the within-subject variability. Overall, the fixed effect variable for control condition explained the largest fraction of the total exposure variability.

Bobeam Honey Hemp and Green Tea Shampoo Bar3.85 oz. bar | Sulfate-Free Shampoo, Clarifying Shampoo
see all Bobeam products
(Rated 4/5 based on 5 reviews) Login to add your review
I bought the shampoo bar and while I was shampooing it felt really good but afterwards, it left a residue that felt kind of waxy and I also experienced some shedding/breakage. I looked up the ingredients because I did not understand why a natural product would react like this with my hair. I noticed the ingredient Saponification vegetable oils and decided to look up the process and I found information regarding the process of saponification and how it can produce a lye affect in shampoos/soaps and now I understand why my hair was so flat and easy to comb however this process is too harsh on my hair.
I love this bar too and I save it as a treat since I have so many bars. The green tea does something good for my hair too along with the honey; a great combination. I swear by this bar and the rest of them too!
I really didn't like it. My hair felt striped or it left a residue in it that was not smooth. I was happy that once I put conditioner in, my hair felt "back to normal" and moisturized. Maybe this just isn't for my hair.
I love, love, love BoBeam poo bars! But I ordered all of mine from the etsy shop BoBeam Products, there's a larger selection of bars and shipping is only $2.25! I just couldnt see myself paying curlmart's shipping when I could buy double the bars on the etsy shop for that price. Always shop around.
Essential Oils/Additives: Honey, Hemp Oil, Green Tea Extract. There can be variation in color and scent.
Ingredient Attributes: anti-humectant

NEW YORK (AP) - Police and fire officials say 30 to 50 people were injured when a ferry from New Jersey struck a dock during rush hour in lower Manhattan.
News reports say the Seastreak Wall Street catamaran ferry from Atlantic Highlands, N.J., banged into the mooring as it arrived. Officials say one person is in critical condition with head injuries.
Some patients were carried out strapped to flat-board stretchers, their heads and necks immobilized. About a dozen passengers on stretchers were spread out on the dock, surrounded by emergency workers and firefighters.
A corner of the ferry appeared to have been ripped open like a tin can. It occurred around 8:45 a.m. Wednesday at South Street.
A receptionist at Seastreak says she doesn't have any information but says company officials are at the scene trying to gather information.

I agree with maura here, if I had a horse that was not consistently in front of my leg I would definitely not want it out on cross country. Being able to have your horse go forward and come back when asked is essential out on xc! I would suggest going back to the basics and then when your horse is listening better work on smaller stadium fences until you have a consistent jumper!

Technical Abstract: A bovine chromosome 11 (BTA11) painting probe and a phage library was developed by chromosome microisolation and microcloning of BTA11 utilizing a bovine cell line carrying a chromosome translocation t(X;11)(unpublished data). The library was screened for clones containing microsatellite sequences using end labeled (AC)12 oligos as probes. Sequencing was done in an ABI automated sequencer. Primer pairs for 17 microsatellite clones containing 14 or more perfect AC repeats have been developed. These microsatellites were used to generate a BTA11 genetic map based on the MARC reference population. Four bovine YAC clones, each containing a genetically mapped microsatellite were physically assigned to chromosome 11 by fluorescent in situ hybridization. This resulted in an anchored, oriented and integrated physical and genetic map for this chromosome.

|Current therapeutic approaches of psoriasis are affected by age at disease onset.
MedLine Citation:
|PMID: 23210896 Owner: NLM Status: Publisher
|Abstract Psoriasis in patients with early onset follows an irregular course with tendency to become severe and extensive. The aim of this study was to look for an association between age at onset of psoriasis and use of biologic agents for its treatment. We reviewed the medical records of 350 patients with moderate to severe psoriasis treated with systemic therapies and compared differences in age at disease onset between patients who had received biologics and those who had not. The mean age of our patients was 54.9 ± 15.1 years. 100 of them (28.6%) were currently receiving or had previously received treatment with a biologic agent. For those with biologic use, average age at time of diagnosis of psoriasis was 28.2 ± 14.7 years, compared with 40.4 ± 18.1 years for those who had not received biologics. 139 patients had psoriasis diagnosed before or at age 30 years. 60 out of them (43.1%) had used biologics. 44 patients had psoriasis diagnosed after age 60 years, but only 3 out of them (6.8%) had used biologics. Concomitant arthritis was significantly associated with use of biologics. In our patients with psoriasis disease, frequency of treatment with a biologic agent varied inversely with age at disease onset.

|Stratification for noninvasive coronary angiography: patient preselection considering atypical angina pectoris, conventional cardiovascular risk assessment, and calcium scoring.
MedLine Citation:
|PMID: 19305353 Owner: NLM Status: MEDLINE
|BACKGROUND: Noninvasive coronary angiography (NCA) is recommended to be applied as a filter before invasive coronary angiography in patients with intermediate cardiovascular risk. DESIGN: In this prospective single-center study, we validated multislice computed tomography (MSCT) and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI)-based NCA by primarily selecting patients with atypical angina pectoris (AAP). METHODS: In 68 patients (63.6+/-11.4 years) with AAP, the Prospective Cardiovascular Muenster Study score and the Agatston score equivalent (ASE; calcium score) were initially determined for cardiovascular risk assessment. Subsequently, MSCT and MRI-based NCA were performed followed by quantitative invasive coronary angiography for validation. All tests were finally analyzed. RESULTS: CAD (prevalence 38.2%) was diagnosed in 67.7% of patients at high, 61.5% at intermediate, and 37.8% at low cardiovascular risk according to the Prospective Cardiovascular Muenster Study. CAD was diagnosed in 88.2% of patients with an ASE >or=75th percentile and in 90.9% with an ASE >or=90th percentile. With regard to NCA, patient-based analysis resulted in a sensitivity of 96.2% for MSCT versus 69.2% for MRI, in a specificity of 95.2 versus 64.3%, in a positive predictive value of 97.6 versus 77.1%, in a negative predictive value of 92.6 versus 54.5%, and a diagnostic accuracy of 95.6 versus 66.2% (P<0.05). CONCLUSION: In a patient group with a heterogeneous cardiovascular risk, primarily considering AAP allows for effective patient preselection for NCA. This may be optimized by precluding patients with an ASE >or=75th percentile. MSCT rather than MRI may then effectively be involved.

Let the sun shine in!
This winter has challenged my clients in many ways. Those who are building new homes or working on additions have had to endure weather delays. We've had delays in shipments getting to our warehouse, and had to delay getting products to our clients.
On the positive side, a number of you have been evaluating your rooms and have decided it may be time for an update. A new look is always good for the soul after a winter like we've endured.
The before photo shows an addition that was completed last year. The home that is located in a lovely wooded area that would also undergo a large amount of landscaping to complete the project. This spring/summer will be the first season for the couple to fully enjoy their new space, inside and out.
When the construction was done, except for the trim around the windows, I was called in to discuss the décor. The first question I asked was how the space would be used. Other than keeping an area on the floor available for the grandchildren's train set and other toys, the rest of the room would be a blank canvas for me to provide adult comfort.
The room would be used daily by the couple and appreciated for family gatherings when children and grandchildren visited.
Placing furniture in the long, but not wide space had to be carefully planned to maximize the function and seating capability.
Choosing rattan furnishing keeps the area light and airy. Fully upholstered pieces may give a 'heavy' feeling to the space.
In the far corner a small breakfast table and 2 chairs can also be used as a game table, or to serve snacks. The tree placed behind the table brings a bit of the outside in and softens the straight line of the corner. The sofa offers plump comfortable cushions with bold patterned accent pillows.
The coffee table has multi-function along with its beauty. A rich finish of the rattan on its sides is topped with a glass top. Beneath the glass the bold pattern of the pillows is repeated on an ottoman. The ottoman offers storage under the cushion and slides in and out easily on casters.
This area is anchored with a sisal woven area rug adding texture to the center of the room. At the end of the sofa a drum-shaped end table holds a tall accent lamp in the rooms cool teal color scheme. The table also ties nicely into the room's natural décor with abaca rope panel inserts.
In the forefront of the photo on the left the bold pattern is repeated in a swivel glider chair that is used for quiet reading, or supervising the children's play area that is to the right, just out of the photo.
The windows offer a beautiful view of the landscape, which we didn't want to cover. We added woven wood valances inside the trim on each window creating a finished textured top to the tall windows without disturbing the view of Mother Nature's décor outside.

It's Good To Be Bad: Scandalous Brand Building
When British rapper M.I.A. flipped her middle finger to more than 110 million Super Bowl TV viewers two Sundays ago, it caused the NFL and NBC to flip out too. Rightly so. Both organizations have codes of conduct, regulations, and responsibility to audiences of all ages who were watching the half-time show, which is where this gesture occurred.
There's been some finger pointing and talk of how angry Madonna is, but meanwhile, M.I.A. seems to be keeping her head and finger down. Her fans' reaction to this has spanned a range of feelings from "who cares" to "cheers." Will this scandal hurt her career? No. In fact, this scandal may enhance her aura and popularity as a badass. It's just M.I.A. living up to her brand image, like any good brand must do.
This case in point goes to show that what's seen as a "scandal" to some can also be seen as "good publicity" to others. The idea of success through scandal is not a new one. The French even have a term for it: succès de scandale. But of course!
Scandals in the world of brand image and communications are not uncommon. The questions that always arise are:
- Who do they help?
- Who do they hurt?
- Are setbacks recoverable?
A few years ago when Activia yogurt got overzealous in its product performance claims, consumers cried foul. Health claims had to be restated with a bit less creative license. For Activia, this was a scandal and it cost them millions. For a competitor, category scrutiny is a boost to overall consumer knowledge and awareness. Very often in a scandal, one brand's bad news is another brand's sales boost.
About a year ago, when Taco Bell was called out for its meat-blend filling, the brand addressed the issue head on through public relations. What we learned from this is that a scandal can be audience relative. Perhaps in terms of FDA guidelines, regulations, and labeling there was a scandal. In terms of loyal Taco Bell consumers, they still thought it tasted good, less meat or not.
So, what's so good about being bad?
- Scandals attract attention. If a brand can overcome the negativity and control the consumer outrage that can quickly pop up online through social networking, the brand, and even category, can benefit from increased awareness.
- A scandal can level the playing field by bringing issues to light that were not previously in the consumer consciousness. When Nike was called out for using some factories in China that did not have fair labor practices, the company reviewed its guidelines, set high standards to achieve, and caused an entire industry to follow. Corporate responsibility spilled over to category responsibility.
- Scandals can give brands an edge. If the scandal is just enough to make you seem "bad" but not enough to actually be detrimental your business or consumers, a proactive "sorry" in the right way is often enough to allow the issue to subside and the brand to move forward. The scandal will eventually become part of the brand's mythology.
- A scandal prompts course correction and can lead to overall improvements in multiple facets of a brand experience. From tamper-proof caps on medicine to sealed packaging at retail, overall consumer safety has often been improved because of a scandal.
- Scandal can bring fame. Brands that are known and in the public consciousness are celebrities in their own right. Scandals not only have the power to break a brand, they have the power to make a brand. Just ask Paris Hilton.
A brand scandal is often a polarizing incident that has both negatives and positives associated with it. If you are caught in one, it's always best to face it head on, then devise a strategy in order to move on. The worst thing you can do is go MIA... like M.I.A.

Witness also the Gasp scandal in Melbourne last year, in which a sales assistant at an 'edgy' fashion chain dissed a customer in store for dismissing their range and direction. Gasp (the chain) decided to embrace the scandal by backing the staff member and reiterating their brand character as fashion-forward and not for everyone. National media goes nuts on behalf of the every-person. Commenters bay for blood. Some time later, Gasp relents, apologises on every medium it can get its hands on.
While most everyone was 'scandalised', I was supportive of Gasp's on-brand stand. Sure their tone could've been more considered, but overall, might have been a boon to the brand. Perhaps the Australian market is just too small for a retailer to piss anyone off.

That brings me back across the Atlantic, to Charlotte. That the Democrats, in 2012, would find themselves in a similar battle is no surprise.
I'll never forget the night Barack Obama won the 2008 election, when I turned on CNN and glimpsed an unknown Republican congressman from Wisconsin named Paul Ryan. When asked about Obama's victory, Ryan said he was most concerned about "the Europeanization of America."
"That's it!" I said to myself. "That's exactly it. Who is this guy? He nailed it."
A further "Europeanization" of America is the best description of what has transpired under the Obama administration, especially its first two years under a fully supportive Democratic Congress. In 2009-10, we witnessed incredibly wasteful Keynesian-style prime-the-pump "stimulus," partial nationalizations, "Obama-care," explosive public-sector growth and unionization, demonization of the banking and investment and oil industries, stagnant unemployment, class-warfare rhetoric unlike anything I've ever heard in this country, and debt-to-GDP ratios approaching Greece standards. We've experienced a record-long non-recovering recovery reminiscent not of the American experience but of Western Europe.
As someone who researches communism, I'm often asked if the Obama administration is pursuing socialistic or even communist policies. No, no, I've always said. If you want the closest model to what Obama is doing, look at the Attlee government in Britain after WWII or Western Europe today generally.
I recently did an interview with the BBC in Ireland. The host asked: "What's wrong with you Americans? You call Obama a 'socialist' as if socialism is bad. Here in Europe, we think he's doing exactly the right thing." Likewise, a friend of mine recently returned from Spain. She was shocked by the overwhelming support for Barack Obama's policies. It's really no shock at all—not in Spain.
Here in America, the staunchest liberal-Democrat areas, such as California, Massachusetts, and New England, all have European-level birthrates, divorce rates, abortion rates, and even church attendance. New England, in many ways, is a microcosm of Western Europe.
By the time of the 2012 Democratic convention, party delegates had already (following Barack Obama's lead) embraced everything from unlimited taxpayer-funding of abortion to gay marriage. How does one get to these positions? Answer: by removing God. Fittingly, then, the delegates merely need to take the next evolutionary step: exclude God. It was very … European.
The soul of the Democratic Party continues to change dramatically.
Dr. Paul Kengor is professor of political science at Grove City College, executive director of The Center for Vision & Values, and author of the book, "The Communist: Frank Marshall Davis, The Untold Story of Barack Obama's Mentor." His other books include "The Crusader: Ronald Reagan and the Fall of Communism" and "Dupes: How America's Adversaries Have Manipulated Progressives for a Century."

|Dose-response relationship of baroreflex sensitivity and heart rate variability to individually-tailored exercise training in patients with heart failure.
MedLine Citation:
|PMID: 22078985 Owner: NLM Status: Publisher
|BACKGROUND: Heart Rate Variability (HRV) and Baroreflex Sensitivity (BRS) are impaired in patients with Chronic Heart Failure (CHF) and carry negative prognosis. Exercise training improves these parameters. However, the relationship between exercise training with HRV and BRS has been investigated without regard for individual training loads. We tested the hypothesis that in CHF patients changes in HRV and BRS are dose-response related to individual volume/intensity training load (TL). METHODS: Twenty patients with stable postinfarction CHF under optimal medical treatment were randomized to either aerobic continuous training (ACT) or aerobic interval training (AIT) for 12weeks. Individualized TL was monitored by the Training Impulses (TRIMP(i)) method, which was determined using the individual HR and lactate profiling determined during a treadmill test at baseline. HRV (standard deviation of mean R-R interval) and BRS were assessed at rest and 3weeks apart, throughout the study. RESULTS: HRV, BRS and R-R interval increased significantly with training, being very highly correlated to the dose of exercise with a second-order regression model (r(2) ranged from 0.75 to 0.96; P<0.001), resembling a bell-shaped in the ACT, and an asymptotic-shaped curve in the AIT groups, respectively. These changes were accompanied by a significant increase in functional capacity. No significant differences were detected between ACT and AIT in any variable. CONCLUSIONS: These results suggest that improvements in HRV and BRS by exercise training in CHF patients are dose related to TL in a non-linear fashion on an individual basis, with optimal results at moderate doses of exercise.

It would be a good move for the Wild, they could use some more offense.
He may be a second line player to start, but we all know Havlat will not stay healthy for an entire year.
"Left winger Alex Tanguay, tied for third on the all-time scoring list against Minnesota with 38 points in 41 games, is considering a contract offer from the Wild, his agent said on Thursday…"(source-StarTribune.com)
It would be a good move on Tanguay's part to sign a 1 year deal to re-establish himself as a star calibre player before looking to sign a long-term deal. As we've seen throughout the off-season, teams are reluctant to give significant contracts to second tier talent with the salary cap expected to go down in the coming seasons.
According to Tanguay's agent Ritch Winter, "This will be a decision that is based largely on opportunity," Winter continued. "Minnesota or somewhere else will be a place he's going to go to have a career year. We're continuing those discussions, and the Wild is very, very much on his radar."
The Minnesota Wild have about $4 million in cap space and could really use some more offense, but I'm not sure another left winger is really what they need. They already have Martin Havlat for the first line but at the right price Tanguay would be a solid second line player.

August 22, 2009 at 1:10 pm
Havlat did play 81 games during the regular season and 16 playoff games for the 'Hawks last year (it was a contract year though). That said, you're probably right about him getting injured and missing some time at some point this season, especially considering he just signed a long-term deal.

It came in the opening minute of the fourth quarter.
Penn State was already comfortably ahead on the way to a 34-7 victory against Navy, it's first of the season and of the Bill O'Brien era.
After a Navy fumble, the ball came to rest for a moment, strangely enough, on the Beaver Stadium grass.
Mike Hull saw it and reacted a bit quicker than anyone else.
In one motion he scooped it up and sprinted toward the longest expanse of open green.
He accelerated, making any Penn State All-America linebacker proud for his instincts, as well as his top-end speed.
This was the prized redshirt sophomore linebacker who committed to Penn State all the way back in November of 2008.
Finally, he had earned a slice of the spotlight.
His 74-yard fumble return for a touchdown provided the Lions with their final points of a pulsing victory so long in the making.
"He always works his tail off," said senior linebacker Mike Mauti, one of the stars standing in Hull's way, for now.
"He's one of those guys you're happy for. Our linebackers are so close. We spend so much time together, are such good friends. He's going to continue to make plays for us."
Hull also added five tackles on the day.
"He's a guy playing every linebacker position right now, so we're asking a lot of him," defensive coordinator Ted Roof said. "He's got a wide variety of jobs so there's a lot on him.
"To me, he's like a co-starter at all three positions."
Hull definitely projects as a starting linebacker, the position all for himself, next fall.
For now, he still contributes when asked, ever closer to where he always dreamed of being.
But could he be the fastest Penn State linebacker right now?
Mauti smiled and put his head down when asked.
Then he looked up, saying he, Hull, Gerald Hodges and the rest of the group have never raced.
"You got the ball in your hands, you're not going to get caught by somebody behind you," Mauti said, smiling wider. "Yeah, (Hull) can move."
Injury update: The Lions are hoping to welcome back starting left tackle Donovan Smith for next Saturday's Temple game. He's nursing a bad ankle, but "should be ready to go," head coach Bill O'Brien said.
Frank's next chat will be at 8 p.m. Monday, Oct. 12.
Email Frank your Penn State questions to fbodani (at) ydr.com for inclusion in the weekly chats.
And follow Frank on Twitter at @YDRPennState.
Starting tailback Bill Belton said his prognosis is "pretty good" for Temple, though O'Brien seemed a bit less optimistic, calling it day-to-day.
Backup tailback Derek Day also is day-to-day with a separated shoulder.
Starting defensive end Pete Massaro might be questionable all season because of his recovery from a knee injury and now a shoulder ailment, O'Brien said.
No slight intended: O'Brien elected to go for a touchdown on fourth-and-goal from the 8-yard line midway through the second quarter.
Penn State was ahead 20-0.
And struggling kicker Sam Ficken was left on the sideline.
"I just felt good about the play call. It had nothing to do with Sam Ficken," O'Brien said. "Obviously, it didn't work out. We blew the protection on that, but I wouldn't take that call back. I felt really good about that play call, it just didn't work out."
Ficken's woes continued, however, with a missed extra point.
Good starts: Penn State has outscored opponents 28-0 in the first quarter this season.
Going the distance: Penn State's 90-yard touchdown drive early marked its longest by yardage and time (6:52) since going 99 yards vs. Indiana in 2010.
Making his mark: Redshirt freshman defensive end Anthony Zettel recorded two fourth-quarter sacks.
Ground attack: Navy's 60 rushing attempts were the most by a Penn State opponent since Nebraska had 72 in 2003.
Sophomore sensation: Allen Robinson is already halfway to breaking the Lion season receiving record for a sophomore with 24 catches. Bobby Engram and Deon Butler hold the mark with 48.
Penn State's overall season record is 63 receptions by Engram and O.J. McDuffie.
Going for three: Robinson's three TD catches marked the first time that's happened since Graham Zug hauled in three at Michigan in 2009.
Moving up: Matt McGloin's ninth 200-yard passing game moves him into a tie for seventh place at Penn State with Todd Blackledge and Wally Richardson.
Hitting his stride: Mauti came into the game as the Big Ten's third-leading tackler and added a game-high 12 against Navy.

So Mitt Romney has been telling us when he was governor of Massachusetts he worked with the state legislature to straighten out the state's problems. And during the debate with the president, Mitt told how he worked in bipartisanship with the Democratic-controlled legislature to create a health care plan that was tailored to the state.
But the rest of the story is in Mitt's interview with AARP in this month's newsletter. The legislature was over 80 percent Democratic. Mitt also explains in the interview how he didn't always agree with the legislature and used his veto power over 800 different times. The article goes on to say that the legislature overrode those vetoes more than 700 times.
So what really happened in Massachusetts? Sounds like Mitt was the typical "Just Say No" Republican that we currently have in Washington. And 90 percent of the time the state's Democrats overrode Mitt so that they could do the work that was needed to give the taxpaying public affordable health care and a decent life.

The taillight wiring is different between a Mk2 and Mk2.5.
You can get them to work but would need to swap a couple of connections around.

TIF district clears school board hurdle
It appears a tax increment financing district in Eudora will move forward.
After airing concerns Thursday, the Eudora USD 491 Board of Education took no action and in effect agreed to support the district in eastern Eudora.
Last month, the Eudora City Council extended the time the school district and the Douglas County Commission could consider the TIF district. The county had already expressed support for the project.
With a vote for a $45 million bond referendum coming up, district officials wanted to be positive the TIF district's formation would be fiscally responsible.
The extended consideration period also delayed construction on the Deer Valley Subdivision by Wilson and Hoover LLC. The subdivision could be one of the first projects included in the TIF district.
During a presentation to the board, Eudora City Administrator Cheryl Beatty reiterated the city needed to find some way to bring commercial business to town.
"When I analyzed our tax base, it is obvious that if Eudora doesn't find a way to bring commercial development to our community the school district and our city will be hurting for a diversified tax base in order to support our huge infrastructure needs," Beatty said.
The TIF district will be north and south of 10th Street and east and west of East 2300 Road. It includes all of Intech Business Park, the proposed Deer Valley subdivision and 30 acres on the northeast side of 1400 Road.
The city is looking to the TIF district to spur commercial growth in the area by providing roads, electrical connections and sewer lines not currently available in the area. It would do so by freezing the plot of land at its current assessed value and bonding out the needed improvements. The bond would be paid for by taxes generated within the district in excess of the district's first-year valuation.
With the establishment of the district, the city would either accept or deny project plans from commercial entities looking to us the infrastructure.
"In the business world, it's a domino effect," Beatty said.
If the city can draw one or two businesses to the area, then more could come, Beatty said.
Because the school district could have a new bond of its own to pay off within the next six months, the exact role they would play in the TIF district needed to be determined.
To find out exactly how it might work, officials in the school district worked with Wilson and Hoover to find a plan that might work.
Although details of Wilson and Hoover's project plan aren't final, the developers could request up to $7 million worth of infrastructure to be covered in the TIF district.
Beatty suggested the school district look at the TIF district like a bank. When the 20-year bond ends, the district would have full access to the increased tax dollars within the TIF area, Beatty said.
"I don't call it a bank, I call it losing money," Martin said.
The area would be generating tax dollars the district wouldn't get to see, Martin said.
State statute protects 20 mills of the districts' taxing authority.
To make sure the school district would lose as little tax money as possible as the value of the land included in the TIF district increases, officials approached Wilson and Hoover with a plan to protect 10 more mills of taxing authority.
After running through projections, Wilson and Hoover legal counsel F. Chase Simmons told the board ten extra mills wouldn't work.
Simmons suggested the School district take five mills instead.
In all, the district would still get 38 percent of new taxes.
"It's kind of like a slow leak or hoping for a big gush sometime down the road," Superintendent Marty Kobza said.
After the presentation from Simmons and Beatty the Board decided to move forward with the school district's partnership in the TIF district.
"Make it go," Martin said.

Picture from thte Detroit Institute of Arts / Detroit Institute of Arts
Its hard to look at the magnificent bronze casting of Rodins The Thinker that watches over the front steps of the Detroit Institute of Arts and not wonder whether this pensive figure, chin resting on a curled hand, isnt pondering the fate of the museum behind him.
Will the DIA survive the citys financial crisis, or will collateral damage from the march toward bankruptcy leave the museum mortally wounded?
The DIAs troubles as has often been the case during its roller-coaster history lie at the volatile intersection of culture, politics and economics. With Detroit emergency manager Kevyn Orr enmeshed in multilateral negotiations with the creditors who hold the citys $18-billion debt, the DIA finds itself a pawn in a high-finance chess match fraught with subtle gamesmanship and serious consequences.
■ Related: Not many possibilities for Detroit Institute of Arts to raise money outside of selling art
At risk are irreplaceable treasures in the DIAs city-owned collection and $22 million in annual support from the regional property tax millage approved by voters last year. DIA officials fear a domino effect: They say if the museum were forced to raise cash for Detroit by selling art or embracing various rental ideas, future donations of art and money would disappear. They also think they could lose the millage revenue.
DIA executive vice president president Annmarie Erickson said that would lead to a death spiral and a crippled museum of limited hours, exhibitions and programs.
■ Full coverage: DIA art takes center stage in high-stakes drama to decide Detroit's future | The DIA's priceless art: What some of their most valuable pieces could be worth | Q&A: Explaining the possible sale of DIA art | Michigan AG: DIA art pieces can't be sold to pay Detroit debt
Orr has said repeatedly he has no plans to sell art, but his spokesman, Bill Nowling, said this week that the complexities of Orrs negotiations with bondholders, unions and other creditors preclude taking any city assets off the table.
We cant come out and say to the museum youre protected, and we found a place for you in heaven, said Nowling. The moment we do, every creditor is going to say, Youre not broke, and if youre not broke, then Im not taking 10 cents on the dollar.
How it started
No major American museum has been more intimately tied to the political and financial fortunes of its city than the DIA. Its collection and building are owned by the city but run by a nonprofit. The structure, unique among top museums, has existed in its present form since 1998, but effectively dates to 1919, when a cash-strapped DIA gave up its independence to become a city department.
This is the museums original sin, a trade-off that haunts it to this day. In good economic times, the DIA soared; but in bad times it faltered, nearly closing on more than one occasion and frequently getting beat up in the rough-and-tumble of Detroit politics.
That problem has never gone away, said Jeffrey Abt, a Wayne State University professor of art and author of a history of the DIA. The DIA is forced to operate in context very different than any other museum, and the current problems reflect that reality.
Orrs deputies, including New York investment banker Ken Buckfire, warned DIA leaders at a closed door meeting in May that the collection was a city asset vulnerable for sale, and that a comprehensive financial restructuring plan could require the museum to funnel hundreds of millions of dollars into city coffers over the next decade. DIA director Graham Beal and Nowling both said no formal proposals were made, but confirmed that the figures floated were at least $20 million per year.
A bill of that size would be a de facto order to sell art, said Erickson. If people have the idea that the DIA can raise $20 million a year, I can assure them weve already explored everything we could do short of selling the art, and we cant come anywhere near that number, she said.
Nowling said that the $20-million figure was just a starting point for discussions and that the conversation also included ways of monetizing art beyond selling. One idea would have the DIA lease the collection back from city hall. Another would be sending major portions to other institutions on long-term loan.
All of this is about how do you justify a fair value should you go into court, said Nowling. You want to be able to say this is an asset that you rationalized at a fair value. A judge will look at it and say Yes it is or No its not. If we had a $1 dollar lease, Im pretty sure the creditors would say that its worth far more.
Some of the DIAs most influential patrons said the forced sale of any art or other plans that subsidized the city would force them to reconsider their support. Once the door was open to selling, there would be no way to close it, said Robert Jacobs, owner of Buddys Pizza and a major collector of African art.
I would have to reassess what I would give, because like anyone I want to give to something thats really special. The dilemma that everybody has is the quandary of where all of this is going.
Selling art, lending schemes or other ideas for monetizing DIA assets would almost assuredly create a backlash among county commissioners and voters, especially anti-tax factions in Macomb and Oakland. Macomb County Executive Mark Hackel said many would move quickly to rescind the millage if art were sold or county tax money was used or perceived to be used to subsidize the city.
There would be legal review, and the question would be: Is this what was intended when the public voted to support the museum? he said.
The tax funds about 70% of the DIAs annual budget, liberating it from the burden of raising $12 to $15 million a year for operations. The 10-year millage gives the DIA the breathing room it said it needs to raise several hundred millions of dollars in endowment funds to sustain its business after the millage expires.
Orr is keeping his cards close to the vest. The restructuring plan he released to creditors two weeks ago did not include the sale of art, but the report did not rule out the possibility the DIA would be asked to contribute revenue as plans evolve. Craig Barbarosh, a California-based lawyer who worked on municipal bankruptcies in Orange County and Stockton, said that making sure everyone knows the art is in play might be the best strategy for protecting it. But there are no guarantees.
The ultimate deal is likely to be meaningfully different than what was originally put on the table, said Barbarosh..
As emergency manager Orr has authority to sell or monetize city assets as part of a restructuring plan pitched to creditors. If he cant forge a deal and Detroit enters Chapter 9 bankruptcy, neither creditors nor a federal judge can force the liquidation of assets. However, a judge and creditors can apply pressure by refusing to OK a plan that appears to be hiding assets and the result could still be a sale.
The DIA has hired a bankruptcy attorney, and officials said theyll fight any move on the art. The DIA maintains that it holds its collection in public trust, a legal argument reinforced in a formal opinion issued by Michigan Attorney General Bill Schuette. Professional codes governing museums prohibit selling art except to buy other art or to maintain the collection.
However, bankruptcy experts have told the Free Press that because the city owns the art, it would be difficult to convince judge to void a sale.
DIA officials are mindful of the difficult politics of declaring their institution off-limits when pensioners, policemen and creditors are all taking it on the chin in Orrs restructuring plan. Leaving aside loftier arguments about the DIAs role as a civic and cultural beacon, museum leaders say that they take $30 million off the citys books annually because the museum supports itself with essentially no city funds.
Will such arguments be enough for Orr, creditors or a bankruptcy judge? Thats another puzzler for Rodins thoughtful dreamer.

Chivas USA Blasts San Jose
April 24 vs San Jose Delgado Zemanski image
Chivas USA
got back to winning ways on Saturday evening, holding off a late push from the
visiting San Jose Earthquakes for a 3-2 victory at The Home Depot Center. Goals
from Sacha Kljestan, Justin Braun, and Chukwudi Chijindu were the difference as
the Red-and-White claimed their second consecutive win at home.
For Chivas USA,
Saturday's match marks the first time that the team has scored more than two
goals in a game since October 4th of 2008. For the visitors, it was
the second time in just four games that the Quakes conceded three goals.
Much of the Goats' success on Saturday came from the middle
of the pitch. The Chivas USA midfield was masterful all evening, employing a
rotating offense that, at times, resembled the famous Dutch "Total Football" of
the 1970's. Red-and-White attackers Padilla, Kljestan, Zemanski, Lahoud, and
Gavin interchanged effortlessly, communicating well as they followed the flow
of play.
It was Kljestan who found the back of the net first, and
rightfully so. The Chivas USA captain had marshaled his young midfield well and
looked dangerous all night. If ever there were a game for Klejstan to stake a
claim to a place on the US National Team World Cup roster, this was it.
His goal came in the 25th minute when he
collected a neat pass from Gavin on the right side and blasted a Howitzer from
20 yards out. The effort sailed over Quakes 'keeper Joe Cannon and dipped into
the net to take the home side ahead 1-0.
San Jose
would equalize just before halftime with a 41st minute penalty kick.
It was Chris Wondolowski who netted from the spot for the visitors, slotting a
low ball into the left-hand corner of the net after he was taken down in the
box by Jonathan Bornstein.
Any momentum that the Quakes had going into the second half
was quickly squelched by Justin Braun in the 54th minute. The big Red-and-White
striker got onto the end of an incisive cross from Mariano Trujillo to head the
ball past a diving Joe Cannon and into the far left side of the net. It was
Braun's fourth consecutive goal against the Earthquakes.
Red-and-White substitute striker Chukwudi Chijindu added a
third notch in the 88th minute after collecting a long pass from Michael
Lahoud and outpacing Ike Opara. The SoCal native calmly slipped the ball under
Joe Cannon, who had charged off his line.
The Quakes swarmed in the game's closing minutes, getting a
goal of their own in the 92nd minute when defender Steven Beitashour
hit a speculative shot from beyond the 18-yard-line that sailed over the Chivas
USA defense but dipped under the bar at the last moment.
Chivas USA
will feel confident heading into their match at Chicago next Saturday. The team looks to have
finally found some of the chemistry that had been missing in its first few
matches. San Jose, meanwhile, will now return
home to face Colorado
next weekend.

After-prom party designed to keep kids entertained, safe
Preparation is underway for one of the biggest parties of the year for some Eudora High students. A casino, extreme games and other all-night activities are planned not for reckless teen-agers, but the EHS after-prom party.
Saturday, April 29 will be the 11th after-prom party, which provides an alternative for kids after the annual junior-senior prom - away from the temptation of underage drinking or other harmful activities.
"The whole event is designed to give them a safe, fun and memorable environment," said Bonnie Neis, EHS head secretary.
EHS teacher and coach Dave Durkin organized the party for 10 years, with Neis taking over this year. When the after-prom party began, Durkin said, it was strictly with the best interest of students in mind.
"We wanted to offer an alternative to the way things usually go at proms," Durkin said.
Each year's party has a theme, which is kept secret until that night. Neis said this is done to enhance the grandeur of the party as they arrive.
"We do that so it's more awesome when they come in," Neis said. "This way they have no idea what to expect."
In addition to a secret theme, juniors, seniors and dates spend from 1 a.m. until 7 a.m. playing extreme games, which in past years have included participants wearing a special suit and jumping on a Velcro wall. Simulated Sumo wrestling has students wearing thick, padded suits for a friendly clobbering while a replica casino allows students to play games and compete for chances for prize drawings. Prizes include electronics, gift certificates and other prizes and cash, with last year's total prize value reaching $12,000.
Neis said the whole event is held through donations from business and community members.
"It's all funded though donations," Neis said. "I would say 80 percent of Eudora businesses have donated this year."
As the party comes to a close, tired but entertained students and sponsors head home; hopefully with a night of fun memories and safe activities.
"The idea is to keep the kids off the street and away from alcohol and drugs," said Larry McPherson, activities director. "As far as I know, it works."

'It's a really good feeling to show people what can be possible'
PORTLAND, Ore. – Ravi Drugan lost both his legs in 2004 in an incident that remains a mystery to this day.
The then 14-year-old boy was hit by 2 trains in Eugene, Ore., but he doesn't remember how he ended up on the tracks.
"I woke up 3 days later in the hospital, so to this day no one really knows how I ended up on the tracks," said Drugan.
Drugan's family thinks he may have been robbed, beaten and left on the tracks. He says he doesn't remember anything that happened before or after the train severed both his legs.
Drugan's mother says he was depressed after losing his legs, but the darkness lifted when the former skateboarder found the snow.
"Before, there was a lot of time trying to find out what he wanted to do, but once he found skiing after January of '09 he's been awesome," said Drugan's mother Kelli Schunk.
"My first day, by the end of the day I was skiing down black diamonds with my dad," said Drugan.
Drugan uses a mono-ski to shred down the slopes. He bought his own mono-ski in 2010 with a grant from the Challenged Athletes Foundation. Last year he was invited to compete at the X Games in Aspen, Colo. and was invited back to compete this year.
"I never really imagined myself being an X Games athlete but it's definitely something that's a blast," Drugan said.
"It's a really good feeling to show people what can be possible out there and you shouldn't limit yourself to anything."

Samsung Galaxy S III rumored with 4.8in screen, ceramic back
updated 10:50 am EST, Sat February 25, 2012
Galaxy S III may take pages from Nexus, iPhone
An unusual rumor Saturday may have provided some details of the Galaxy S III. Keeping with Samsung's near-tradition of increasing screen size with every new high-end conventional smartphone, the BGR source claimed it would supposedly push the screen out to 4.8 inches. The back, however, would take a partial cue from the iPhone 4 and 4S with a ceramic back, presumably to improve reception and help keep the device slim.
Samsung's decision to skip a Mobile World Congress intro was purportedly to coordinate a much larger worldwide release. The launch would involve over 50 "markets or cities," if the source is correct.
Much of the actual hardware performance is up in the air. While quad-core has been mentioned, the most likely processor choice is the Exynos 5250 dual-core chip due to enter mass production in the spring. Android 4.0 is near certain, but any other upgrades to the cameras or cellular connections are still matters of speculation rather than fact.
The absence of the phone from Mobile World Congress is rare for Samsung, which almost always has an event at the Barcelona gathering, may be an attempt to get away from the common smartphone manufacturer practice of announcing well before a device is ready. The Galaxy S II was unveiled last February, but it didn't ship to Korea until two months later and eight months later for the US. Waiting so long may have hurt the American launch by taking the Galaxy S II out of the limelight and letting Apple capture users' attention.
