They used to do it subtly; they don't bother any more. Last week a column in the Telegraph argued that businesses should get the vote. Though they pay tax, Damian Reece maintained, they have "no say in the running of local or national government"(1). To remedy this cruel circumscription, he suggested that elections in the UK should follow the example set by the City of London Corporation. This is the nation's last rotten borough, in which ballots in 21 of its 25 wards are controlled by companies, whose bosses appoint the voters(2). I expect to see Mr Reece pursue this noble cause by throwing himself under the Queen's horse.
Contrast this call for an extension of the franchise with a piece in the same paper last year, advocating an income qualification for voters. Only those who pay at least £100 a year in income tax, argued Ian Cowie, another senior editor at the Telegraph, should be allowed to vote(3). Blaming the credit crisis on the unemployed (who, as we know, lie in bed all day devising credit default swaps and collateralised debt obligations), Cowie averred that "it's time to restore the link between paying something into society and voting on decisions about how it is run." This qualification, he was good enough to inform us, could exclude "the majority of voters in some metropolitan areas today". The proposal was repeated by Benedict Brogan, the Telegraph's deputy editor(4).
No representation without taxation: wasn't that Alan B'stard's slogan in the satirical series The New Statesman? Votes for business, none for the poor: this would formalise the corporate assault on democracy that has been gathering pace for the past 30 years.
This column is a plea for distrust. Distrust is the resource on which democracy relies. Distrust inspires the scrutiny and accountability without which representation becomes a lie. Distrust is all that stands between us and bamboozlement by people who, like Reece, Cowie and Brogan, channel the instincts of the billionaire owners of newspapers and broadcasters.
Last week, David Cameron argued that those who say business "isn't really to be trusted" do so as a result of "snobbery"(5). Business, in fact, is "the most powerful force for social progress the world has ever known." Not democracy, education, science, justice or public health: business. You need only consider the exemplary social progress in Zaire under Mobutu, Chile under Pinochet or the Philippines under Marcos – who opened their countries to the kind of corporate free-for-all that Cameron's backers dream of – to grasp the universal truth of this statement.
He gave some examples to support his contention that regulation can be replaced by trust. The Public Health Responsibility deal, which transfers responsibility for reducing obesity and alcoholism to fast food outlets, drinks firms and supermarkets(6,7), reaches, Cameron claimed, the parts "which the state just can't."
Under the deal, Subway and Costa are "putting calorie information up front when people are buying." The state couldn't possibly legislate for that, could it? Far better to leave it to the companies, who can decide for themselves whether they inform people that a larduccino coffee with suet sprinkles contains no more calories than the average Olympic sprinter burns in a month. He forgot to mention the much longer list of companies which have failed to display this information.
Another substitute for regulation, he suggested, is a programme called Every Business Commits. Through its website I found the government's list of "case studies of responsible business practice"(8). Here I learnt that British American Tobacco is promoting public health by educating and counselling its workers about HIV(9). The drinks giant Diageo is improving its waste water treatment process(10). Bombardier Aerospace is enhancing the environmental performance of its factories, in which it manufactures, er, private jets(11). RWE npower, which runs some of Britain's biggest coal and gas power stations, teaches children "to think about their responsibilities in reducing climate change".(12)
All these are worthy causes, but they are either peripheral to the main social harms these companies cause or look to my distrustful eye like window dressing. Nor do I see how they differ from the "moral off-setting" that Cameron says happened in the past but doesn't happen today(13). But this tokenism, in the prime minister's view, should inspire us to trust companies to the extent that some of the regulations affecting their core business can be removed.
We are living through remarkable times. The government, supported by the corporate press, is engaged in a naked attempt to rebuild the life of this country around the demands of business. Extending the project begun by Tony Blair, David Cameron is creating an economy in which much of the private sector depends on state contracts, and in which the government's core responsibility is to provide them. If this requires the destruction of effective public healthcare and reliable state education(14,15), it is of no concern to an economic class which uses neither.
The corporations gaining ever greater powers will be subject to less democratic oversight and restraint, in the form of regulation. Despite the obvious lesson of the credit crunch – that self-regulation is an invitation to disaster – Cameron wants to extend the principle into every corner of the economy. Trust them, he says: what can possibly go wrong?

Shawn McDaniel is a bartender at The End Zone.
- Filed Under
Name: Shawn McDaniel
Age: 33
Hometown bar: The End Zone
Why are you a bartender? Initially, I just needed a job. I graduated from Southern and needed some work and here I am. I enjoy it. It's a lot of fun. I meet a lot of people and watch a lot of sports on TV. It's not just monotonous. You're not just sitting or standing around behind a computer desk or something. It's something different every day, and sometimes a little more adventure than you want.
How long have you been a bartender? For about 10 years.
Signature drink: : I think that about everyone who works here's signature drink is Rumple Minze because just about everybody in town that drinks it comes in here. One hundred-proof peppermint schnapps - it gets the job done. But usually when a girl comes in and wants something sweet, I give her an Absolut Stress. It's 1.5-ounce of vodka, 1/4-ounce peach schnapps, about 2 ounces of cranberry juice and a splash of pineapple juice roughly. I just make it over ice and shake it up and serve it and put a little cherry on top.
Most unusual thing you've encountered since becoming a bartender: Drunk people carrying drunk people - that's always fun. We've seen that a few times.
What are your tricks of the trade? Here everyone has been here so long and we probably know 75 percent of our clientele that comes in on a regular basis. You can come in by yourself and know whose working. I think that makes a lot of people happy. Everybody is friendly, and we pour our drinks really strong.

Some college students this fall won't need to worry about learning the location of stacks at their main university library. Why? There are no books.
The library of the future has arrived; it's food-friendly, open 24 hours a day and has comfortable chairs, wireless Internet access and coffee kiosks. Students at the University of Texas-Austin are among those already experiencing this type of futuristic venue. UT-Austin is one of several universities modernizing their main libraries by "going digital," a phrase the library uses to describe its attempts to keep up with fast-paced technology and Web-savvy students.
Before this fall, Flawn Academic Center, which housed UT-Austin's undergraduate library, held 90,000 of the library system's 8.5 million volumes. Many of these books hadn't been checked out for years, says Carole Cable, the chief communications officer for UT-Austin libraries.
The center has now been "repurposed," Cable says. Those volumes removed from the center are relocated in discipline-specific libraries on the UT-Austin campus, which she says most students use to find books anyway.
With all the books removed, the newly renovated Flawn Academic Center now contains study areas, multimedia computer labs, service points, the campus computer store and laptop checkout services. Employees who are cross-trained in computer software, library instruction and writing assistance staff the service points in the center.

Lung Cancer (Non-Small Cell)
Talking With Your Doctor TOPICS
What should you ask your doctor about non-small cell lung cancer?
It is important for you to have honest, open discussions with your cancer care team. You should feel free to ask any question, no matter how small it might seem. Nurses, social workers, and other members of the treatment team may also be able to answer many of your questions. Here are some questions you might want to ask:
- What kind of lung cancer do I have?
- Where exactly is the cancer? Has it spread beyond where it started?
- What is the stage of my cancer, and what does that mean in my case?
- Are there other tests that need to be done before we can decide on treatment? Have the cancer cells been checked for gene changes that could affect my treatment options?
- Are there other doctors I need to see?
- How much experience do you have treating this type of cancer?
- What treatment choices do I have?
- What do you recommend and why?
- What is the goal of the treatment?
- What are the chances my cancer can be cured with these options?
- What risks or side effects are there to the treatments you suggest? How long are they likely to last?
- How quickly do we need to decide on treatment?
- What should I do to be ready for treatment?
- How long will treatment last? What will it involve? Where will it be done?
- How will treatment affect my daily activities?
- What would we do if the treatment doesn't work or if the cancer comes back?
- What type of follow-up will I need after treatment?
Along with these sample questions, be sure to write down some of your own. For instance, you might want more information about recovery times so you can plan your work or activity schedule. Or you may want to ask about getting a second opinion or about clinical trials for which you may qualify. You can find more information about communicating with your health care team in our document Talking With Your Doctor.

I was tinkering around with XenServer the other day. I know I can hear you saying "is that a thing?" Well, it is, but this is not what I am going to talk about today. Time for a tangent shift. I thought I would have a look for a third-party switch for XenServer, but it seems that XenServer is a third-rate citizen in this space, as there is no Cisco Nexus 1kV available for XenServer, even though Cisco previewed it at Citrix Synergy Barcelona in 2012.

Conflict Resolution
Using biblical principles to reconcile relationships
The Conciliation Ministry is a team of people trained to help others resolve conflict and restore broken relationships related to family, business, employment, property, and finance. Trained conciliators use biblical principles to help people in conflict become reconciled with one another and find mutually satisfying resolutions to their disputes.
By dealing with root issues behind conflict—the matters of the heart—conciliators use the following skills to help others achieve lasting conflict resolution:
- Listening to gain understanding of both the substantive concerns and personal issues involved in the conflict.
- Applying biblical principles to help resolve conflict.
- Identifying personal responses to the conflict that honor God and others.
- Encouraging all involved to take steps toward forgiveness, reconciliation, and restoration of the relationship.
How can I get help in resolving a conflict?
Willow's conciliation team helps people resolve their conflicts through the following means:
- Conflict Coaching: Conciliators assist other Christ followers in working out their differences by using a biblical response to conflict that begins with concepts presented in Matthew 18 and leads to conflict resolution that is honoring to God.
- Mediation: Conciliators can serve as an objective third party to help people engage in God-honoring dialogue to resolve their differences. Conciliators facilitate, listen, help foster appropriate communications, probe for core issues, and incorporate prayer and Scripture into the conciliation process.
- Arbitration: Conciliators are available to assist with certain situations in which people agree to be bound by a decision made on their behalf.
To get in touch with a Response Pastor who will listen to your request and if needed, connect you to a conciliator, please call (847) 765-5000.
Looking to build better relationships?
If you find yourself regularly struggling with those you love most, invest some time strengthening your relationships with others, God, and yourself in Willow's workshop, "RELATE: Build Better Relationships."
For conflicts specific to your marriage, consider these two options:
- Speak with a Response Pastor. Trained Response Pastors will listen to your story, pray with you, and help you assess next steps to resolve your marital conflict. Call (847) 765-5000, 9 a.m.–5 p.m., Monday–Friday, and ask to speak with a Response Pastor.
- Contact Willow's Marriage ministry for a list of classes and workshops related to strengthening and restoring your marriage.

Remember Me
Barbershop 101
Standard choral music uses the Soprano, Alto, Tenor and Bass (SATB) designations. SATB arrangements attempt to balance sound equally across all four of the parts. On the other hand, barbershop uses the original men's voicing of Tenor, Baritone and Bass with the addition of a Lead part, or melody. Barbershop attempts to balance the sound in a cone shape with the bass having the strongest sound, giving the chord a firm foundation. The lead usually sings the melody, with the tenor harmonizing above the lead. The bass sings the lowest harmonizing notes and the baritone sings either above or below the lead to make chords that give barbershop its unique, full sound.The Four Parts: LEAD is the melody and is sung in the range between A below middle C, and C above middle C.
TENOR is a harmony part sung consistently above the lead. Although tenor is the highest voice in barbershop harmony, it should not be confused with soprano of conventional choral singing. The tenor should have a light,sweet, pure tone that will compliment but not overpower the lead voice.
BARITONE covers approximately the same range as lead. The baritone harmony notes cross the lead notes, sometimes sung below and sometimes above. Baritones must constantly adjust their balance to accommodate their position in the chord.
BASS singers should have a rich, mellow voice and be able to sing the E flat below middle C easily. Basses should not be confused with the alto of conventional groups. Many altos can sing the bass part, but others are better suited to lead or baritone.Probably the most distinctive facet of barbershop harmony is expanded sound. It is created when the harmonics in the individually sung tones reinforce each other to produce audible overtones or undertones. Barbershoppers call this "ringing a chord." Singing in a quartet or chorus and creating that fifth voice is one of the most thrilling musical sensations you'll ever experience! It's the goal of every barbershop group, and it's sure to bring on the goose bumps and the applause!

Updated stormwater permit issued to WSDOT
May 20, 2014
The state Department of Ecology has issued an updated stormwater permit to the Washington State Department of Transportation to continue to protect water quality.
The permit regulates stormwater runoff from highways and transportation facilities in urbanized areas. This helps manage stormwater runoff and protect water quality. If not treated properly, stormwater can degrade water quality, carry contaminants into downstream waters, and harm sensitive fish and wildlife habitats.
State grants to help restore Issaquah Creek
May 20, 2014
Issaquah will benefit from state grants given out to save Puget Sound.
The Washington departments of Ecology and Commerce, awarded nearly $4 million to Western Washington communities to help rehabilitation efforts to the sound and watersheds emptying into it, according to a May 13 press release.
Specifically in Issaquah, $172,000 will go to a Mountains to Sound Greenway Trust project aimed at Issaquah Creek restoration and controlling invasive plants.
Teens sought for summer litter crews
March 25, 2014
The state Department of Ecology invites teens to apply for summer jobs in the Ecology Youth Corps that helps clean up roadsides and other public areas. The application deadline is April 1.
Youths ages 14-17 can apply to work for a three- to four-week session with a litter cleanup crew.
Ecology Youth Corps members earn $9.32 per hour. Crews also learn how to better care for the environment.
City Council celebrates water district agreement
February 4, 2014
The Issaquah City Council unanimously has backed the deal ending injecting storm water into the Lower Issaquah Valley Aquifer.
Less than a week after Mayor Fred Butler cemented an agreement between Issaquah and the Sammamish Plateau Water and Sewer District, the memorandum of understanding came to the council during its regular meeting Jan. 21. The deal essentially plans to create an agreement for the decommission of the Lower Reid Infiltration Gallery, which sent Issaquah Highlands storm water into the aquifer, in exchange for a 10-year Issaquah hiatus on exploring a takeover of district utilities.
Burst gas pipe sends at least four to emergency room
December 17, 2013
A burst gas pipe at the Cedar Hills Landfill south of Issaquah sent nearby residents to the emergency room Dec. 7.
That evening, neighbors began smelling a great deal of gas in their homes and responded by calling Eastside Fire & Rescue and the King County Solid Waste Division. According to an EFR report of the incident, all responding members identified gas in the area.
"Engine 71 proceeded to the address and was met by the homeowner," Lt. Jason Ward's EFR report reads. "The homeowner stated the smell of gas in the area was very strong. All three members of Engine 71 could smell landfill gas in the area."
Supervisors at the scene found that the gas line used to pull landfill-produced methane gas into the Bio Energy Washington plant had ruptured. They immediately shut down the gas to the pipe.
Two candidates will battle for water district seat
October 15, 2013
For the first time in six years, there's a contested race for a seat on the Sammamish Plateau Water and Sewer District board of directors. One-term incumbent Bob Brady will face political newcomer Brett Muhlestein.
Brady said he wants another term because he feels he has unfinished work to do on the board.
"We're kind of in the middle of a lot of things, and I'd like to see it through," the retired Boeing employee said.
In particular, there's a new asset management system to put in place, and some troubles with the city of Issaquah.
Participate in state water quality updates
September 10, 2013
The state Department of Ecology is seeking public input as it updates the state's surface water quality standards for toxics.
The department will hold two public meetings at its headquarters in Lacey, but both can be accessed remotely.
The first meeting, a Sept. 12 policy forum, is available as an interactive webinar from 9:30 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. Register for the webinar online at http://bit.ly/14GBpAi.
New strategies proposed to reduce toxics
March 7, 2013
The public is invited to weigh in on new strategies being proposed to reduce the use of toxic substances in Washington.
Last fall, the Washington Department of Ecology convened a group of business, government, academic and nongovernmental leaders to come up with new approaches for reducing toxic chemical pollution in Washington. The department asked them to think outside their typical legal and political silos to find creative new approaches to toxics that would offer better human health, environmental and economic outcomes.
After several months of thoughtful discussion and hard work, the group delivered the results of its discussion to Gov. Jay Inslee and the leadership of the Legislature.
State OKs King County rules for creek, lake
January 29, 2013
The state Department of Ecology approved King County rules for development near shorelines, including Issaquah Creek and Lake Sammamish, county and state officials announced Jan. 17.
The plan, or shoreline master program, is designed to guide construction and development on almost 2,000 miles of marine, stream and lake shorelines countywide.
State approves plan for Issaquah Creek, Lake Sammamish
January 17, 2013
NEW — 10 a.m. Jan. 17, 2013
The state Department of Ecology approved King County rules for development near shorelines, including Issaquah Creek and Lake Sammamish, county and state officials announced Thursday.
The plan, or shoreline master program, is designed to guide construction and development on almost 2,000 miles of marine, stream and lake shorelines countywide. The rules combine local plans for future development and preservation, plus recent development ordinances and related permitting requirements.
The county Shoreline Master Program includes stretches of Issaquah Creek — from the headwaters on Tiger Mountain to the Issaquah city limits — and the mouth of the creek in Lake Sammamish State Park.

Forbes Field remnants restored
Pirates fans and historic preservationists with a fondness for Forbes Field are making sure what remains of the old ballpark will look its best when thousands of people stream into the city for the Major League All-Star Game in July.
Work has begun to restore the remnants of the red-brick wall along Roberto Clemente Drive in Oakland in preparation for a ceremony to unveil a marker from the Pennsylvania Historical and Museum Commission.
The marker ceremony is scheduled for 3:30 p.m. July 7, including live music, "ballpark" style refreshments and a "throwback" youth baseball game at nearby Mazeroski Field featuring players wearing historic jerseys from the Pittsburgh Pirates and Crawfords, and the Homestead Grays.
The All-Star game will be played July 11 at PNC Park on the North Side.
"We're hoping that the celebration on July 7 will help focus attention -- and draw community and financial support -- for showcasing the wall, which is an important part of Pittsburgh's history," said state Sen. Jim Ferlo, D-Highland Park. Ferlo has been spearheading efforts to turn the area around the wall into a "walk of fame" with plaques, benches, decorative historic lighting and possibly an interactive kiosk to inform and entertain visitors.
The city of Pittsburgh, which has owned the wall since 1971, awarded a $25,615 contract to Franco Construction to repoint the brick, replace missing terra cotta caps, resurface the concrete pilasters that divide sections of the wall and refurbish and paint the flag pole.
Organizers also are considering installing a clay gravel warning track at the base of the wall to prevent mud from splashing up on the brick and make it easier for visitors to get closer to the wall.
Most of the restoration cost is covered by a state Department of Community and Economic Development grant Ferlo helped obtain on behalf of the Pittsburgh History and Landmarks Foundation.
Last June, the Pennsylvania Historical and Museum Commission placed a marker near the wall dedicated to Barney Dreyfuss, the Pirates owner who built Forbes Field in 1909. Dreyfuss also is credited with "inventing" the World Series in 1903, when the Boston Pilgrims, champions of the newly formed American League, accepted a challenge to meet his National League champion Pirates in a postseason tournament.
The Pirates lost.
A marker also is imbedded in the spot where Pirates second baseman Bill Mazeroski's bottom of the ninth home run sailed over the wall at 3:36 p.m. Oct. 13, 1960, to defeat the Yankees in Game 7 of the World Series.
Since 1985, members of the Society for American Baseball Research have gathered each Oct. 13 to celebrate Mazeroski's legendary home run.
The home plate from the last game played at Forbes Field June 28, 1970, is preserved under Lucite in nearby Posvar Hall on the University of Pittsburgh campus.

Next year is shaping up to be an important one for the Shreveport-Bossier African-American Chamber of Commerce.
According to chamber members, residents could take advantage of several new resources and features that will be rolled out in 2014.

How I Redid My Garage In A Weekend
Tired of Having a No-Car Garage?
Nature abhors a vacuum, it's true, but garages always seem to fill up with the oddest things. Children's mementos, extra furniture, and even broken fishing equipment line garage storage shelves and compete with what you actually want to store in the space (like your car for one). So why not harness your powers of organization and use those garage storage shelves to organize instead of enable chaos?
It Started with Garage Storage Shelves
Mian was tired of his cluttered garage. So with the family out of town one sunny weekend, he decided to take matters into his own hands and take back the garage storage shelves for their intended purpose. Here's his story:
"My wife and I kept talking about how someday we'd be able to put a car in our garage. We live outside Boston, so when it snows it's great to have vehicles inside, not out. I'd installed some garage storage shelves a few years ago to try and keep things organized. But the project was doomed as little by little, more stuff started spreading across the garage floor. Recycling bins, an old dining room table, even stacks of games our kids have outgrown, along with a couple of bikes. It was a total mess.
"Over a long weekend I realized it was time for things to change. I wanted to have a potting bench in the garage since we don't have a separate shed and Daniela wanted better storage for the kids' sports gear. I started pulling everything off the garage storage shelves and out into the driveway. It was pretty simple to sort out what needed to stay and what needed to go; I ended up taking a bunch of things to our favorite donation center, like the table we weren't going to use again. With the space cleared I could see my way to an actual functional garage, not just a storage catch-all.
"I'd put in adjustable garage storage shelves before and was able to change them to better fit the height of boxes that were going to stay, so less space was wasted. A free-standing potting bench area with a counter and places for all my gardening equipment fit perfectly by the door to the backyard. I found an organizer for all our sports equipment and hooks to hang the bikes we actually ride. When everyone came back home, they were certainly surprised to actually park inside!"
California Closets: Garage Storage Shelves are Just the Beginning
If your garage no longer has room for a car or even space to walk, it's time for a change. A professional organizer like a California Closets Design Consultant is a great way to figure out what you need in your garage as well as organization options, like garage storage shelves, that will work for your needs.
Once you have a clear vision, the rest will effortlessly fall into place, as it did with Mian. What are you waiting for?

President Barack Obama said tonight that the U.S. has done its best to ensure that Syria's leader is "isolated," but ultimately, he said, "Syrians are going to have to decide their own future."
"What we are seeing take place in Syria is heart-breaking… But we also have to realize, for us to get more militarily entangled in Syria is a serious step," the president said, and arming the opposition with heavy weaponry could have unpredictable results.
"We don't want to have military involvement there," Romney said, arguing that the government opposition should have "the arms necessary to defend themselves. "
Obama said the U.S. went after the former Libyan leader in a steady, "thoughtful way." And Syria's leader must be confronted with the same consideration.
"Look, this has been going on for a year — this should have been a time for American leadership," Romney said.
"What you've heard Governor Romney saying is, he doesn't have different ideas — that's because we're doing what we should be doing," Obama said.

David Herman, 77, of Airmont, N.Y., and St. Croix, was arrested by HSI special agents at the St. Croix airport where he expected to meet the child. He is scheduled to appear Friday before U.S. Magistrate Judge George W. Cannon for an initial appearance in St. Croix federal court.
According to court documents, beginning in November 2012, Herman initiated a series of chats on a website with an undercover officer from the Bergen County Prosecutor's Office. Herman believed he was communicating with a 36-year-old single mother of a 6-year-old daughter.
Over the course of the following months, Herman had multiple telephone and online communications with the officer during which he indicated his desire to engage in sexual activity with the officer's fictitious daughter. Herman also attempted to arrange illegal sexual encounters with the child in New York state and Bergen County.
In early 2013, Herman told the undercover officer that he would like to fly the pair to St. Croix so he could engage in sexual activity with the daughter. On Sept. 30, Herman purchased airline tickets for them to fly from LaGuardia Airport to St. Croix.
If convicted, Herman faces between 10 years and life in prison and up to a $250,000 fine.
This investigation was part of Operation Predator, a nationwide HSI initiative to protect children from sexual predators, including those who travel overseas for sex with minors, Internet child pornographers, criminal alien sex offenders and child sex traffickers. HSI encourages the public to report suspected child predators and any suspicious activity through its toll-free hotline at 1-866-347-2423 or by completing its online tip form. Both are staffed around the clock by investigators.
Suspected child sexual exploitation or missing children may be reported to the National Center for Missing & Exploited Children, an Operation Predator partner, via its toll-free 24-hour hotline, 1-800-843-5678.
HSI is a founding member and current chair of the Virtual Global Taskforce, an international alliance of law enforcement agencies and private industry sector partners working together to prevent and deter online child sexual abuse.
The charges and allegations contained in the complaint are merely accusations, and the defendant is considered innocent unless and until proven guilty.

Indonesia already has a handful of car classifieds sites in the country, and one of them – Mobil123 – wants to drive faster than the rest with newly found money. Mobil123's announced yesterday that its Malaysian parent company iCar Asia (ICQ:ASX), which is listed on the Australian Stock Exchange, received an additional investment of A$7.2 million (US$6.5 million) from Australian site CarSales.com. The money will be used for Mobil123's product development and marketing activities.
Mobil123 is arguably Indonesia's leading car classifieds site. The team says that it now has over 200,000 live car listings, more than one million monthly unique visitors, 8.2 million pageviews, as well as over 165,000 leads. The site's listing grew by 138 percent year-on-year while unique visitors grew 600 percent. The team now has 48 employees in Jakarta.
Irfan Badruzaman, Mobil123's head of marketing, says that they just launched a TV ad in Indonesia last week. Mobil123's sister classifieds sites in Malaysia and Thailand are complemented with a stand-alone car news portal, and Badruzaman says that they will bring such a news portal in Indonesia, but are still considering whether to do it in a separate website domain.
Mobil123 has quite a few competitors in this market which include Rocket Internet's Carmudi, KapanLagi's car classifieds sub domain, RajaMobil, and MobilBekas. Badruzaman believes that Mobil123's first-mover advantage (the site launched in 2008) and strong connection to car dealers can help make a difference in its battle to winning the Indonesian market.
Mobil123 was acquired by iCar Asia in 2012. The latter company has previously raised $13.4 million from CarSales last year.

A Better Battery for Laptops
Page 2 of 2
The company has also made the battery safer by separating several conventional safety measures and by inventing new ones. In existing notebook batteries, the current interrupt device and the thermal fuse are packaged on top of each other in the cell's lid. But by separating these elements from each other, the company has built an extra layer of redundancy into the system. These elements are able to control and cut off the current flow, should the battery begin to overcharge. The company has also devised a new ventilation system to alleviate the pressure and heat before they build to catastrophic levels. With aluminum in its canister, rather than carbon steel or nickel, as is common, the Sonata's shell softens much sooner at high temperatures and then self-destructs with a hiss. More-durable elements like carbon steel, which melts at even higher temperatures than aluminum, exacerbate explosions by letting extraordinary pressure and heat build inside the cell until its breaking point. (This is why conventional laptops emit loud booming cracks when they burn.)
"There is a lot of progress being made in battery technology with different chemistries," says Robert Kanode, president and CEO of Valence Technology, an Austin, TX, startup that manufactures phosphate lithium-ion batteries. His company is a competitor with Boston-Power, but Kanode adds, "We know we will not be standing alone: this will be a huge market with many viable players in it."
Lampe-Onnerud says that Boston-Power is in discussions with most of the world's top-tier notebook makers, including Hewlett-Packard, which over the past two years has worked closely with the company, helping it design battery packs that can be dropped into existing notebooks.
"The Sonata opens up a whole new business model for notebook manufacturers that hasn't been available in the past," says Ifty Ahmed, a general partner with Oak Investment Partners, who worked on the deal. Although notebook makers can presently offer a three-year warranty for a computer, they can't make the same offer on a battery, a component that can cost about 10 percent of a laptop's total value. "The market for warranties is extremely profitable," Ahmed says. "So if you can sell a warranty on the battery for three years, you have a very exciting idea."
Boston-Power says that it is focused on commercializing the Sonata, but it also believes that its patented safety features could eventually be used in lithium-ion batteries for smaller consumer-electronics devices as well as for hybrid electric vehicles.

My Experience Rises to the Challenge
Dom Perignon, the name alone which makes most of us erupt in a delightful smile. It is definitely the world's most popular Champagne produces nearly 30 million bottles a year. A lot of consumers are attracted to its easy, light, and refreshing style. I love champagne and I have many favorites, but no other products strikes and impress me more than this. I am sure that most of my friends surprised by my enthusiasm for this champagne but my assumptions are based on the truth. Dom Perignon has a quality that remains extravagant which is systematically ranks among the top champagnes in the world.
I was at High Society, Balibago, Angeles City with some of my friends when I had my first experience with Dom Perignon. It was absolutely served with a beer bucket and lovely sparklers which is sparking with excitement. My only regret in life is that I did not drink more of it. It was a green color, cold with nice size bottles. The presentation was so great. Take it with cold and a chilled glass was so amazing. The wine has a clear gold color and the bubbles are very smooth. The nose is closed but with the action, it develops towards citrus notes, honey flavors, and yellow apples. What impressed me more is that the wine is perfectly balance. This is really the best sparkling feeling I had so far, really an excellent wine.
I consider myself lucky enough to party with these people and to be given a bottle of Dom Perignon that night. Now, I decided to save budget and prefer to serve this brand for special occasions. It is quite a strong color but it tastes heavenly fantastic. It has a sharp taste, tender and brittle sensation like no other.
Facts about Dom Perginom
It was launched in the year 1971 by Moet Et Chandon. It is a single vineyard wine which is made from grapes and 60% of chardonnay. So people who love and enjoy chardonnay will definitely be intimate with this wine. It is also blend with Pinot Noir approximately 50%, depending on the vintage.
You can only treasure the power and greatness of Dom Perignon after it has been aged for a while. If you drink it while it's young, you may not be able to get the essence of Dom Perignon. From the experiences of my friends, this champagne needs at least 10 years from its vintage to rich its maturity and it really needs 20 years to fully develop.
You can usually get a bottle for almost £80 in the shops, but in a clubs or restaurants, it is approximately cost £120. A recent price records started in the year 2004. The 3 bottles of Dom Perignon sold in the US for about $24, 675. On April 2010, a new record was made for a sale in Britain based in the Daily Telegraph with more than £35,000 for Methuselah.
As much as I loved it, I would recommend everyone to break your savings bank and spend the money on it. This is perfect for special occasions than anything else.
Now let's talk about Marijuana
About Marijuana
Long-term use of marijuana can lead to addiction which is termed as compulsive drug seeking regardless of the known harmful effects relating to the family, school, work and other activities. It is approximately 10% of users become addicted to this drug. Long term users are complaining some symptoms like sleeplessness, irritability, decreased appetite, anxiety and drug seeking. These adverse effects usually begin within 1 day following abstinence, peak for 2-3 days and lessen the effect within 1-2 weeks.
Is Marijuana Medicine?
According to the scientists, marijuana is a medicine which contains active ingredients with therapeutic management for relieving pain, stimulating appetite, controlling nausea and decreasing ocular pressure. Marijuana based medications are synthetic compounds which include the following below:
Sativex – Mouth spray to relief pain associated with cancer and spasticity.
My experience with Marijuana.
Marijuana At The Party Night
It's so weird when I was with my friends at the same party event held at High Society. It was a weekday night and I was not thinking of bunch of work related stuff to do the next day. I spent all night long with them partying very hard. They purchased a shisha along with the champagne and as the night goes by, these two of my colleagues put a single strand of marijuana at the bowl grommet of the shisha. Hilarious! I was freaking out that somebody might distinguish the smell because apparently in my country, taking marijuana is a crime. But in the end, I gave in and trusted my friends.
Out of curiosity, I took a puff of the smoke. I believe that it affects everyone differently. For me, it pretty tastes like a coffee flavor with grass. It tastes something like it smells. There are no symptoms or adverse affects that I felt, and certainly no addiction. However, after smoking marijuana, it feels like everything is fresh. All the things you touch, smell, see, and taste, feels like you are experiencing it for the first time.
It is definitely unique. So if ever someone wants to try it out of wonder, a tiny bit of it can never harm your health as long as you eat enough to get a taste, it won't even get you high. However, if you abused the beauty of this drug, you'll definitely get mental problems.
In my point of view, going through with this kind of experience is the most pleasant sensations a human can ever feel. It is like being a child trying to comprehend events with clarity; to search and look into the gates of pleasure, to completely enjoy whatever you are doing, and to smile so hard that the muscles in your jaw get tired. Exploring things is to laugh at the silliest things and to understand things that seemed nonsensical before. To be intoxicated with this drug makes life extremely good and simply; just flat-out feeling wonderful.

That's republic form of government, mind you. Another reminder: Don't bring Obama in this one. He is not the Governor of Illinois. And the Democrats are holding the cards in this one here regarding Illinois.
It's too bad debt and other fruits of bad policy and leadership cannot also be redistributed to Dems along with vote manipulation.
Guest -- Jimmy and his Chinaman read and retain better than you -- they understand lower case. Look at Article IV, Section 4.
D's.... danger lies in puting D voters in R controlled districts ...because that means R voters go into D districts ... you risk loosing more ...not gaining a few.

And I'm shrinking, last week I was five foot four
I've been getting shivers lately, is it flu?
And though the bug is going round, what can I do?
And it's about to pick on me, I've still got the other three
Do you think if I caught smallpox I'd get through?

Just how long is there to go;
Please tell me, I want to know
But on second thoughts, don't tell me, I'm too ill

The Dothan Houston County Airport Authority is getting a $200,000 grant to help marketing efforts at the Dothan Regional Airport.
U.S. Congressman Terry Everett made the announcement of the grant Monday. Everett says many other communities were competing for the grant.
In addition to the grant, Everett also indicated that the Dothan Regional Airport will be designated as an air service development zone.
That means that the Department of Transportation will work closely with Dothan to attract business to the areas surrounding the airport. DOT will also help develop land use options for the area.
The marketing will start as early as January 2004.

As of Monday, March 10, 2014
© Copyright 2015 Newton Citizen
Wildflowers are a special source of blessing to me. First, I like the great variety of shapes and colors that enrich my sense of sight. Second, I like the fact that wildflowers are the handiwork of the Lord and not the tinkering of mankind. Third, they do not cost me anything, as long as I avoid the poisonous and the invasive ones.
I can't watch television today without my senses being bombarded with manmade devices that shout a constant stream of messages and flash gaudy colors, in an attempt to hold my attention. Because of that and other din, I find great pleasure in the quiet places where wildflowers are found.
Truly, as the Psalmist said, "The Lord is good to all; He has compassion on all he has made" (Psalm 145:9). May you have the opportunity to discover one of His hidden gifts.
Ruellia caroliniensis
This funnel shaped flower is about 1 1/2 inches in diameter with five light lavender petals, or lobes. The veins on the lobes are a darker lavender, as illustrated. The flower has five stamens with heavy white pollen. The pistil is white also and extends out farther than the stamen.
The broad roughly contoured leaves are opposites along the stem and the blooms emerge where the leaves join the stalk. Generally, the plant stands about 2 feet tall, but wherever they are regularly mowed, they adapt by running along the ground.
Ruellia, also called Carolina wild petunia, is a common wildflower that inhabits open woods. It thrives best in well drained soils, thus, it can be hurt by drought. Its propensity to grow in shade and dry places means you probably should start looking for it in your own yard. The wide roof overhangs of modern houses generally keep water away from the foundation at ground level, so start by looking under and behind your hedges.
There does not appear to be any medicinal or herbal benefits to the lowly ruellia, but its beauty that extends from May to late July provides pleasure to the finder.
Do you remember the question, "If a tree falls in the forest and no one is there to hear it, does it make a sound?" I like wandering along a creek or exploring the woods until I find a blossom that no one has seen before and probably no one else will ever see. Oh, what a special treat it is to be the observer of such a gift from God.
Orrin Morris is a retired Baptist minister, local artist and art teacher. To purchase a two-volume set of books featuring his wildflower columns, visit the Nature Seen Gallery & Frame Shop, 914 Center St. in Olde Town Conyers, or call 770-929-3697 or text 404-824-3697.

U.S. Open of Surfing: 'Simpo' Wins Another One for Huntington Beach
Categories: Sports
Brett Simpson won his second U.S. Open of Surfing championship in as many years, the only surfer to repeat at this event since Mark Occhilupo did it in 1985 and '86. He's also the first local to take the prize in the tournament's over 50-year history.
He did it in dominating fashion, too. Recap and photos of Simpson's victory, after the jump.
|All photos by John Gilhooley/OC Weekly
|Brett Simpson get's the hero's treatment after his second win at the Open.
Simpson took control in his finals heat against the number one ranked surfer in the world, Michael "Jordy" Smith of South Africa, when he grabbed an early lead off impressive waves and didn't let go.
Smith struggled in this matchup, failing to connect on many of his maneuvers. Simpson, on the other hand, seemed energized by his hometown crowd, who cheered him on at every opportunity.
Simpson's commanding lead, 13.97 points to Smith's 8.33, proved insurmontable. Once time elapsed, the HB crowd knew that it was their hometown favorite who had won. As the thousands of spectators roared their approval, Simpson raised his hands in victory out on the ocean.
Some will call it a storybook moment. Others will say it was destiny. But for Simpson, his second win at the Open was all for his hometown and his family.
|Simpson at the awards ceremony.
"This is amazing, man. I'll take this one for HB all day," he said at the awards presentation immediately after his victory.
Simpson competed against the best in the world and came out on top. In the quarter-finals, he faced 2008 Open champion Nathaniel Curran and beat him by a slim margin. In the semi-finals he defeated the greatest surfer of all time, Kelly Slater, in another narrow victory.
His greatest win, however, was in the finals, when he defeated Smith by more than five points.
Besides being at his home beach, winning another title at Huntington Beach has other perks as well, like getting carried off the beach like a quarterback who threw the game-winning touchdown at Homecoming.
"Its been a special one, just to surf against all these guys. I've never had the opportunity to try to go back-to-back, to uh, what's the word..." he said, trailing off. He searched for the words but he couldn't find them. He got the assist from his father, Bill, shouting from the back of the press conference.
"To defend your title!" he yelled, beaming with pride at his son's accomplishment.
"Yeah, that's right, defend your title," the younger Simpson said, smiling.
Despite its thrilling finish, the finals heat wasn't very exciting to start. For about the first five minutes, there wasn't a wave in sight.
On his first wave, Simpson attempted a huge rotation but couldn't complete it. Smith was more conservative, pulling off a few slashes across the wave to build up his points.
Simpson took this same approach on his second wave, and earned huge points for it. Smith got a ton of air off his second wave, but couldn't land the jump. Simpson built up his lead with a few more impressive waves and steadily put himself far out of Smith's reach.
|Shameless self-promotion? Guilty as charged.
Simpson's win earned him the largest prize in competitive surfing, $100,000, and immortality in the hearts of Huntington Beach residents. The way things are going for him, he could make his career out of winning at Surf City U.S.A. The locals wouldn't think any less of him for it.

Brian's comment on shoes is spot on. I've seen a lot of people suffering on the AT and PCT because they started with the wrong shoes. Avoid that mistake if at all possible!As for specific models, I would suggest trying on as many different kinds as you can and going with what feels best. I've already done several long-distance hikes, and I still had to try on at least a dozen different shoes before I found one I liked for this year's hike.Sizing up is a good idea, especially if this your first long-distance hike. But don't overdo it--too large shoes can rub in funny ways as much as too small ones can.
Edited by sschloss1 on 04/14/2013 11:43:28 MDT.
Great advice as always from BPL... I have tried on a bunch of different models and am deciding between solomon synapse and brooks cascadia. This will actually be my first trip without heavy leather high-top boots so it's hard to know how they should fit. I also live in rural maine and it can be hard to find many models to try on (thank god for zappos). I ended up with plantar fasciitis after the last time I went backpacking though... Anyone with PF have any shoe recommendations?
Check via your local library system if they carry the book "Fixing Your Feet" by John Vonhoff. I suggest reading up on P.F. there, and you might also just read through this in general, things like preventing and fixing blisters anyway.Consider going to an actual foot doctor and getting diagnosed and then likely getting custom orthodics. Not cheap, but ... might be worth it (so very hard to know for sure). I find that a pair of custom orthodics last me well over one thru-hike. After closer to two thru-hikes I ended up having worn through the underlying hard plastic part with holes forming at the heels and cracking the plastic. For more typical use the underlying hard plastic part lasts a long, long time and you can just optionally resurface the soft rubber upper on occasion. Even buying a replacement orthodic completely was cheaper, however, since I still had the molds.As far as picking a good shoe --- the more you know about your own particular feet, the better. I can now have pretty good luck buying shoes online, just finding sites that give various views of the shoe, and particularly looking from the bottom up at the sole and vice versa, top-down to try to guess at the toebox room. And reading the reviews. Zappos.com is a good place to look for data, and if I recall correctly you can send shoes back to them for a full refund if you've only tried them on inside your house, not out on the street. They won't always be the cheapest source (and if you end up buying 8 pairs at once as I did last time, you do take the time to look for best price). But zappos did a fine job for a friend in doing fairly rapid on-trail delivery to a post office, they seemed to know how to work with thru-hikers FWIW. Once you recognize that the authoritative-sounding guy in the shoe store might not know all that much that applies to what you're doing, IMO it's ultimately better to "shop" at an online store that has a much much larger selection, even if that turns into an iterative process that takes a while. You really need to become your own personal foot/shoe expert to some degree I think. It's always possible that you'll find a shoe store with the magic combination of a shoe salescreature that really listens and really knows a lot AND where there is at least one pair of decent footwear in your size that works for you. Or, invest in lottery tickets ...Best of luck with this!
