Elkford celebrates grand opening of conference centrePosted: June 25, 2012
Consider it an example of what can be done when there is a will.
The collective will of a municipal government and a dogged mayor; the will of a community and the will of supporters and financial backers all merged to create the inertia and drive to see the District of Elkford become the latest town in the Kootenays to open a brand new community hall. (The official name is Community Conference Centre.)
Mayor Dean McKerracher, whose drive and vision were central in the establishment of the new 18,000 square foot, $6.4 million facility in downtown Elkford, was joined by key backers, community members, council and district staff June 21 in a grand opening celebration of the new, already-award-winning hall, which is home to a beautiful banquet hall, visitor information centre, play school, shiny commercial kitchen and multi-purpose meeting rooms.
Along with Minister of Community, Sport and Cultural Development Ida Chong and Kootenay East MLA Bill Bennett, McKerracher cut the ribbon to the hall on a rare, bright, sunny afternoon. They were joined by dignitaries from Columbia Basin Trust, Teck Coal, Structurlam Products Ltd. and about 100 onlookers standing on a parking lot that smelled of fresh blacktop. Ktunaxa Nation representatives could not attend the opening due to prior National Aboriginal Day commitments.
The spacious Teck Hall received its first gathering during the grand opening, with a host of speeches, followed by tours and a community barbecue.
"I'm in awe every time I get to see this building," McKerracher said.
Relatively fresh from a recent health scare, the mayor's voice cracked when he thanked MLA Bennett for his help.
"If I get a little bit emotional, I'm sorry, but it's an emotional day for me," he said.
McKerracher recognized his past and current councils for their work and explained how the district arrived at this point.
"This has been a vision of council's since 2003. Councilor Turcotte, Coun. Tomych and myself tried to convince council at the time that we should buy this old school that sat up here, on these grounds – with no success," he began. "In 2004 we finally convinced them that we should start negotiations with the school board because it had been closed for four years. It was getting damaged inside as well as outside and becoming an unsightly premises. It has six and a half acres of land, on which this building sits on and the soccer field is included, too.
"We went through negotiations for two years with very little success. In 2006 I enlisted our MLA Bill Bennett to help," he said, noting that Elkford Chief Administrative Officer Corien Speaker had also been working hard on the project.
That year McKerracher attended the Union of British Columbia Municipalities annual conference aware that the school board wanted $3 million for the old 33,000 square foot school and property.
While at the conference in Vancouver, McKerracher and Speaker met with the Minister of Education "and tried to convince her (Minister Joyce Bond) that they sell us this school because it was just costing them money to maintain on a daily to yearly basis. The actual original offer was $150,000. They laughed at us and said, 'well, you have to give more than that.'"
After further discussions, the Ministry of Education suggested Elkford offer $175,000. McKerracher said he called the municipal office soon after and a cheque for $175,000 was delivered to the school board office the next morning.
"That evening, at a wine and cheese party, Minister Bond came up to me and congratulated the district," Mckerracher said, having to pause. "We were successful in purchasing a school and property for $175,000."
The district took over the building in 2006 and luckily insured it.
"Unfortunately, on August 11, 2007, the building was destroyed by fire. And I wasn't here – I was away," McKerracher said chuckling. "So you can't blame me! It was unknown causes. They were putting in wiring from the old building to the new building – there were old parts and new parts together. Consequently, we ended up with $3.6 million from insurance funds and so we made a few bucks on our $175,000. With the support of other Teck Coal and other donators, CBT, we ended up with this building," he said to loud applause.
"Waiting for this building to get the doors open was like waiting for my wife to deliver our babies. It's been terrible. I even lost a couple of hairs again today," McKerracher cracked. "I'm very proud of the efforts put forth by councils, staff and by residents, as well as the various partners and organizations that helped to make today possible."
On several occasions, McKerracher emotionally expressed his gratitude for all project supporters, pausing at times to rack his brain in order to not leave anyone out.
Minister Chong said she had been admiring the building's wood design. "How versatile! This is going to be a very, very well used banquet hall, I assure you because of the way it is structured."
Government money provided to Elkford came from Towns For Tomorrow grant funding, Chong said, noting that Bill Bennett was the first MLA to approach her and ask "how can get I get my hands on some of those dollars? As he always is. It was a new program designed to help small, rural communities and, obviously, Elkford qualifies for that."
Towns for Tomorrow recognized "one size does not fit all," Chong said, adding, that instead of municipalities having to find one-third of the money for an infrastructure project, all they had to do was find 20%, the province would provide the other 80 "up to a maximum of $400,000."
Chong concluded by saying, "kudos to you Mr. Mayor and your council for making sure your dream does become a reality. Clearly, it will be a hub where people will come together for significant milestone events. When you have a place where you can come together families are strengthened and families feel united and that's why projects like this matter."
Bennett said he didn't have enough time to be able to thank all the people, businesses and organizations that helped make the hall a reality.
"I'm going to focus first on one person. Without his work, his vision, his dream and his relentless efforts we wouldn't be sitting here today. Absolutely no question that without Dean McKerracher, we would not be here today," he said, drawing loud applause.
"I'm really proud to call Dean a friend, so there is a special sense that I have today being here and watching him and his wife Joanne, who is always by Dean's side. It's wonderful when a community comes together on something," he said.
Bennett singled out the Columbia Basin Trust for its help in the project and the work it continues to do in the Basin. And he praised Teck for its significant role.
"In many ways this is the house that coal built," he said. "We wouldn't be here today – Elkford probably wouldn't exist as a community if it weren't for the coal mining industry. It would be pretty tough, and Dean I am sure you agree, without the large donation that Teck made" for the district to complete the project.
"It's important for us to every now and again just recognize how fortunate we are that we have, first of all an industry that is doing so well, and secondly that we have a particular company that sees the value in investing in our communities," Bennett said, listing a host of projects that Teck has helped out, such as the Kootenay Child Development Centre and Koocanusa boat launch.
"We should celebrate that," he said.
Teck was represented at the opening by Cal McDougall, who is also a former District of Sparwood mayor.
"On behalf of Teck Coal I'd like to congratulate the District of Elkford for the vision of putting the building together. Without people like Dean McKerracher and council, Corien Speaker and administrative staff, things like this just don't happen. It takes a lot of work. Teck is very proud to help and support the communities," he said.
As for the new facility, McDougall said Teck recognized the vision Elkford has and wanted to help out.
"Selfishly, it's a place we can use for some of our Christmas parties!" he stated, earning happy applause.
Speaking on behalf of Columbia Basin Trust was Elk Valley board director Cindy Gallinger.
"We are thrilled for the residents of Elkford," she said, offering congratulations to all involved.
"This project is a wonderful example of a community responding to the needs of its residents," she said.
Structurlam Products Ltd. president Bill Downing, originally from the East Kootenay, said his company, now 50-years-old, has been honoured to be a part of the project.
"This building represents a major first for us," he said, "And that's the first use of our new CLT (cross-laminated timber) panels in a vertical or wall application."
He explained why "that is such a big deal. It's really going to change the way large wood buildings are manufactured or fabricated in the future," he said, noting "it won't be long before you start seeing eight or ten storey buildings made with cross timber panels. It's a really big deal for us and the industry as a whole."
McKerracher, closing the speech session of the grand opening, added he wanted to thank the nearby residents for their patience during construction.
"They lived through it and now they get to look at a beautiful building," he said.
The new building fits in with Elkford's recent successful efforts at re-branding, McKerracher told the audience. "This community centre, to me, is the icing on the cake. The facility now provides Elkford with the space and capability to take our town to the next level. We are going to market ourselves as the premier wedding destination of the Kootenays," he said, referring to a suggestion made by outgoing CAO Speaker.
"We'll be able to have large functions – like Teck Christmas parties," McKerracher said. "It's the only building of its kind in the Elk Valley. In fact, it's the only building of its kind in North America."
District administrative staff seemed to beam through the course of the ceremonies – relieved and pleased with the outcome of their efforts.
"Wow, I can't believe we are here. If you asked me a month ago, I probably would have said 'it's not going to happen,'" remarked Gerrity Stanley, district director of leisure services."With this facility, the opportunities for Elkford are endless and the community will be able to relish in them for many, many years to come."
Joining in on the day's celebrations was City of Fernie Mayor Mary Giuliano, District of Sparwood Mayor Lois Halco, along with councilors Andrew MacIntyre and Margaret McKie, Regional District of East Kootenay board chair and Electoral Area C director Rob Gay, Electoral Area A director Mike Sosnowski, Elkford councilors, School District No. 5 superintendant Bill Gook and numerous project backers and organizations.
Adding to the fun was the most recent donation to the project – $10,000 from East Kootenay Community Credit Union.

Releases for the Week (November 28th-December 4th)
Posted by EdEN in PLAYSTATION Store, PS3, PS3 software, PSN, PSOne Classics on November 29th, 2011
Know what's a great way to celebrate the week after thanksgiving? With no retail releases for either PS3 or PSP! That's right, this week you'll all have to make do with offerings from the digital realm of gaming entertainment.
The highlight for the week is the Sly Collection being made available on the PSN Store either in a bundle or as separate purchases. Price is the same in the end (actually, it's $0.03 more expensive in the bundle) and you can choose to get one of the 3 games or go all the way and the the collection itself. This is great news for those that can't track a physical copy of the digital release as it was released with a very small print run.
On the other hand… we get a Voltron game! Indeed, the 80's are back in style!
What made the cut for this week? Let's find out!
Releases for the Week (November 21th-27th)
Posted by EdEN in minis, PLAYSTATION Store, PS3, PS3 software, PSN, PSOne Classics, PSP, PSP Go on November 21st, 2011
After the huge number of releases from last week (both at retail and on the PSN store) we HAD to know this week would scale back things and dole out just a couple of games so we can actually have enough time to play catch up with our backlog (mine goes all the way back to 2009!).
Because of that, we're left with the following brekdown: 3 retail releases, 2 new PSN releases, 2 former retail-only releases finding their way to the PSN store, 1 PSOne Classic, 3 minis and a single "I am Alive" presentation of a PSP Digital-only release (Cooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooorpse Party!).
Want to know what will be out there for you to spend some money on so close to thanksgiving? Full list after the break.
Releases for the Week (November 14th-20th)
Posted by EdEN in PLAYSTATION Store, PS3, PS3 software, PSN, PSOne Classics, PSP, PSP Go on November 14th, 2011
Halfway point has been reached and thus the retail releases start to pile up along with some digital stocking stuffers of Christmas past and present (sorry, nothing from Christmas future yet. Will get back to you on that one ASAP) that want to fight it out for our end of the year gaming budget.
The new Assassin's Creed brings us a nice bonus thanks to the huge amount of space available on Bluray discs: the original Assassin's Creed is included, absolutely free! Dead Space 2 gave us a port of the excellent Wii entry of the franchise (Dead Space Extraction) and Bioshock Infinite will give us a free copy of the first Bioshock (which is great since I didn't get the DLC challenge rooms last time and now I can finally get 100% of all trophies).
What did you pre-order? How much are you willing to spend this week?

Releases for the Week (November 7th-13th)
Posted by EdEN in PLAYSTATION Store, PS3, PS3 software, PSN, PSOne Classics, PSP, PSP Go on November 7th, 2011
PS2 is back and here to stay! Apparently the older catalog offerings are getting a lot of sales as we're now into the THIRD set of PS2 releases made available on the PSN Store. This time around Full Spectrum Warrior and Stuntman Ignition get a chance to shine again at the very enticing $9.99 price point. Enough to convince you or is something else holding you back?
Remember, all content bought BEFORE November 18th, 2011 will still be playable in up to 5 PS3 or PSP devices (depending on if it's a minis, PS2, PSX or PSN release) and after that date you're down to only two activations. Guess it's time to do some pre-holiday shopping rush!
Step right up and see how this is a wonderful week for gaming!

RALEIGH, N.C. — In the age of texting and tweeting, North Carolina's elementary-school students soon could have to master a more old-fashioned craft: writing in cursive.
A bill introduced in the state House last week would once again make cursive handwriting a part of the curriculum in state elementary schools. The "Back to Basics" bill also would require elementary students to memorize multiplication tables, though state education officials say that's already part of the curriculum.
North Carolina's move to bring back cursive comes as other states, from California to Massachusetts, also are trying to revive what's become a lost skill.
Traditionalists have bemoaned how cursive has been getting less attention in North Carolina public schools for years, even though it was officially part of the curriculum in grades 3 through 5.

But this school year, cursive supporters became more upset when North Carolina became one of 45 states to implement the "Common Core" standards in language arts and mathematics. Common Core — aimed at providing uniformity in what's being taught in classrooms nationally — doesn't mention cursive.
"Every child should know cursive," said Republican state Rep. Pat Hurley, a primary sponsor of the bill. "Our children can't write a simple sentence. They think printing their name is their signature."
Cursive is encouraged but no longer required in Seattle Public Schools, and Washington's education department doesn't insist it be taught, either.

Description: In English, French and Kinyarwanda. In the aftermath of 20th century genocides, many stories that were told by survivors described "bystanders" and rescuers as well as the perpetrators who tortured and killed helpless victims. The survivors of Rwanda's 1994 catastrophe likewise identified countless individuals who risked their own lives to save others. Increasingly, the stories of heroic rescuers, including many who died as a result of their courageous efforts, are documented and widely appreciated for their educational and inspirational value. The website includes text transcripts of testimonies by survivors.

With a healthy Obafemi Martins, the Sounders FC training pitch looks a lot more like a pickup game at a public park these days.
Martins, who was out with a hamstring injury until Sunday's game against Portland, plays with the kind of freedom that is often lost in the X's and O's of professional sports. His coach marvels at the trait while opponents struggle with it.
And it's what makes Martins such a soccer soul mate for teammate Clint Dempsey.
"Them together is almost not even fair," said Sounders defender Jalil Anibaba. "Oba's speed and his technique and his power is hard to defend, and then Clint's illusion and deception is just very difficult."

Most Read Stories
Opponents think so, too. The Portland Timbers held Seattle scoreless through one half Sunday, making it difficult for the Sounders to maintain any offensive flow. Seattle managed five shot attempts in the first 45 minutes.
Then, six minutes into the second half, Martins subbed in for Seattle for the first time since mid-June.
His fresh legs — and newly healed hamstring — were a nightmare for Portland, and helped the Sounders push through to a 2-0 win. They had 13 shots in the second half.
"When it was just Dempsey coming back in the midfield, we could track him," said Timbers midfielder Will Johnson. "Once they brought in Martins and there were two of them floating back in there, we were outnumbered and they were able to get some combinations off."
The relationship between Dempsey and Martins is a special one. As both players have been in and out of the country and Sounders uniforms this summer, it's something Sounders fans have missed.
The 51st minute Sunday was a long-awaited moment.
"Before the game, I told him to save his strength … because I don't want him to get too tired," Martins said. "I'm going to be finding him to give him the ball."
While Dempsey's goal Sunday was assisted by Pineda, not Martins, the flow of the offense clearly picked up in the second half when Martins came in. With two formidable strikers attacking, the Timbers had much less room to make mistakes.
Dempsey and Martins' smoothness with each other happens without words and without much warning. They "understand the game" in the same way, according to Dempsey.
That kind of creativity can be frowned upon by coaches preaching a system or structure. But Sounders coach Sigi Schmid just sits back and watches the beauty unfold.
"It's sort of like going to the park with your best friend," he said of the tandem. "Sometimes as their coach, you want to say, 'That's too tight. We want to open it up.' But they're able to pull it off, so you let them do it."

text: VARIETY reports that veteran Turner exec Betty Cohen will leave the company to shop a multi-platform program targeted to young adults and teens. Cohen, who began with Turner in 1988 in the on-air promotions department at TNT, went on to oversee the creation and launch of Cartoon Network and served as its senior executive for ten years. In June 2001, she stepped down from her position as president of Cartoon Network Worldwide, but stayed within the AOL/ Time Warner family to develop projects like the one she has on the market. Cohen told VARIETY that her latest undertaking, which AOL/TW has apparently passed on, permitting her to find another home for the program, could result in a cable network aimed at tweens.

Newsletters and Messages for U.S. Citizens
October 2011 American Citizens Services (ACS) Newsletter
U.S. Consulate General Hong Kong and Macau
New Topics
- Worldwide Travel Alert
- New ACS Chief, Laurence K. Jones
- Reminder on NEW USCIS Procedures for I-130 Petitions
- Verify Passport Validity and Make Your Appointments Early!
Continuing Topics of Interest
- Forms for passport renewal and additional visa pages
- Typhoon Season

The Department of State alerts U.S. citizens to the potential for retaliation against U.S. citizens and interests following the deaths of key figures in the terrorist group al-Qaida in the Arabian Peninsula on
September 30. This Travel Alert expires on November 30, 2011.
On 30 September, U.S. and Yemeni government officials confirmed that dual U.S.-Yemeni citizen Anwar al-Awlaki, the external operations leader of Al Qaida in the Arabian Peninsula (AQAP), was killed in Yemen. Open source information also indicates that U.S. citizen and AQAP propagandist Samir Khan was killed along with him. Awlaki played a key role in advancing AQAP plots targeting the
United States.
The death of Awlaki, in the near term, could provide motivation for anti-American attacks worldwide from individuals or groups seeking to retaliate against U.S. citizens or interests because of this action. In the past Awlaki and other members of AQPA have called for attacks against the United States, U.S. citizens and U.S. interests. Awlaki's standing as a preeminent English- language advocate of violence could potentially trigger anti-American acts worldwide to avenge his death.
U.S. citizens are encouraged to enroll in the Smart Traveler Enrollment Program (STEP). U.S. citizens without internet access may enroll directly at the nearest U.S. Embassy or U.S. Consulate. By enrolling, U.S. citizens make it easier for the embassy/consulates to contact them in case of emergency.
Up-to-date information on security can also be obtained by calling 1-888-407-4747 toll-free in the United States and Canada or, for callers outside the United States and Canada, on a regular toll line at 1- 202-501-4444. These numbers are available from 8:00 a.m. to 8:00 p.m. Eastern Daylight Time, Monday through Friday (except U.S. federal holidays).
Stay up to date by bookmarking our Bureau of Consular Affairs website, which contains the current Travel Warnings and Travel Alerts as well as the Worldwide Caution. Follow us on Twitter and the Bureau of Consular Affairs page on facebook as well.

New ACS Chief, Laurence K. Jones, Gets To Work
On September 6, Laurence K. Jones arrived in Hong Kong to assume his duties as head of American Citizen Services. Laurence recently finished a tour in Port au Prince, Haiti and looks forward to working with and serving the American community in Hong Kong and Macau.
Reminder on New USCIS Procedures for Filing I-130 Petitions for Alien Relatives
Effective Aug. 15, 2011, petitioners residing in countries without United States Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) offices must file the Petition for an Alien Relative (Form I-130), with the USCIS Chicago Lockbox facility. Hong Kong does not have USCIS offices, which means that American citizens filing the I-130 will have to send the application to Chicago for processing. Please allow ample time for processing. For specific instructions please see I-130, Petition for Alien Relative.
School is back in session and ACS continues to be extremely busy! As you plan around school schedules and activities, please remember to book appointments early for all Consulate services. To avoid a visit to the Consulate, please use our mail-in service for adult passport renewals and added visa pages. See Passports for further details.
For those planning trips in Asia, please keep in mind that many countries require travelers to have at least 6 months validity remaining on their passports. China also requires 6 months passport validity and 2-3 empty visa pages to issue a new China visa. Airlines will deny boarding to those who do not meet this requirement. For specific details about entry and exit requirements for the country you plan to visit, please see our Country Information at Bureau of Consular Affairs website.
Forms for passport renewal and additional visa pages
When applying for passport services at U.S. Consulate Hong Kong, you can help to ensure that the process goes smoothly by bringing your completed form to your appointment. (Please ignore the part of the form that instructs you to mail the form to the U.S. If you mail the form to the U.S., your application will be considerably delayed.)
Forms can be completed and printed out online at Application for U.S. Passport.
Forms are also available in PDF form at Passports web page.
Register to Vote and/or Request Ballot
Election season is fast approaching. Don't miss your chance to vote! The Federal Voting Assistance Program (FVAP) allows you to register and receive an absentee ballot overseas. The FVAP website provides detailed state voting information. Go to FVAP.gov and get started. It only takes a few minutes!
Please be advised that if a Black Rainstorm Warning or Typhoon Signal 8 or above is announced by the Hong Kong Observatory, the Consulate General will be closed.

Please monitor radio and television broadcasts, the Hong Kong Observatory website or the Macao Meteorological and Geophysical Bureau website to stay informed about the latest weather conditions.

Large text
From Uncyclopedia, the content-free encyclopedia
Large Text is pretty self-explanatory. It's, well, Big Writing.
===Uses of Large T. Large text can also be found in the virtual world, you know that thing that exists when you're not on the computer. In publishing, large print is used to help poorly sighted people to read better, a hearing aid for the poorly sighted. Common use of big writing is by students who don't have much to write usually from spending the lesson doing stupid things, therefore sizing the writing enormously in order to fool the blind ill-humoured idiot into thinking they've done more work. This however never prevails.
Web 2.0
Large text is absolutely essential when creating Web 2.0 pages. If people can read your writing, you have failed.
Large text was invented by Charles Darwin while he was running in circles he hit a tree and had a vision, but before he could tell someone he died of a concussion.
Creating Large Text
The easiest way to create large pointless and eye burning text is to simply use the <big> tags several times over. Alternatively, The <div style="font-size:Xpt;"> could be used, where X is a number. This is a more flexible method of making large text as the exact size can be specified. In MS Word a special button is used to change the size of the text.
Bad formatting
Alternatives to Large text
Small text is the obvious alternative to large text. It is used to hide that writing in the contract you signed saying you are now ruled by your bank. Small text is used because it is the typing equivalent of whispering. Text amplification devices like a magnifying glass can be used to make the text louder.
See Also
- The Village Dump is a good source of the crappiest formatted text, large whining and flaming. Care should be taken when exploring the village dump.

What is Movie News After Dark? It's a nightly movie news column that has been working really hard lately at its other job. So if it gets a little loopy this evening, please cut it some slack.
We begin tonight with Keanu Reeves and Chloe Moretz reenacting a scene from Taxi Driver. It's part of a photo spread in Harper's Bazaar celebrating the work of Martin Scorsese. Something about this is a little creepy.
Thanks to the ease of buying comics on my iPad through the convenient-as-all-hell DC Comics app, I've been reading a lot of the DC new 52 over the last few days. Which led me to trying to get some insight from some comics experts. In trying to filter through to the best stuff, I've consulted with this UnderWire article that rates the new 52: the best and worst of the DC reboots.
If you are in Austin this weekend, you should check out the Austin Humane Society Film Festival, a series of films supporting the Austin Humane Society as they help the families affected by the Bastrop wildfires put their lives back together. It's also at the Alamo Drafthouse, so you can do a good thing, see good films and get drunk in the process. Bonus.
Fast Five writer Chris Morgan and short film uberstar Dan Trachtenberg will team up to make a movie called Crime of the Century. That's about all we know about the plot. That said, hooray for Mr. Trachtenberg, whose work we've featured on the site. Pretty soon he'll be way too cool to come on Reject Radio and chat with us.
The hit CW show Supernatural, perhaps one of the best 'monster of the week' style shows around and easily the best reason why the CW should continue to exist, is coming to Netflix Instant. Supernatural is a show you should watch, on Netflix or otherwise.
Here's something:
Hulu is no longer for sale. Techcrunch explains why Hulu's owners couldn't find a buyer.
Badass Serbian motherf*&ker and actor Rade Sherbedgia will play the villain in Taken 2 opposite Liam Neeson. He will "play Murad, the father of a kidnapper slain by Bryan Mills (Neeson) in the first film. Murad is described as a vengeful man who gives orders and doesn't take them. When Murad takes Mills and his wife hostage, their daughter is enlisted to help save them." Payback's a bitch, Liam Neeson.
In what could be either an inspired moment of wishlisting or a rumor filled with complete crap, Fox might be looking at the likes of Ben Foster and Aaron Paul to play the son of John McClane. Paul Dano and Milo Ventimiglia are also on the list. So we'll see.
In honor of the ridiculous lawsuit by someone who thought Drive should have been more like Fast Five, Movies.com's talented Monika Bartyzel offers up 10 frivolous lawsuits that make more sense than attacking Drive. It gets bonus points for the inclusion of a Megan Fox movie.
And finally, here's a delightful new thing with Muppets in it. Sweet dreams, dear reader.

Meanwhile, Ahlers AG will keep the Jupiter Sportswear brand, with Manfred Kamps remaining in charge of the brand. In FY 2008-9 Ahlers was able to triple its operating result to €10.6 million from €3.5 million the year before. For the first time, Ahler's premium brands Pierre Cardin, Baldessarini and Otto Kern made up 50% of total revenues. Ahlers has 26 self-operated stores and 117 monobrand stores that are managed by partners or franchisees.

Albie Hecht Appointed President Of The New TNN
Nickelodeon animation head Albie Hecht has been appointed president of the cable channel The New TNN. In his new position, Hecht will oversee TNN as it repositions itself as television's first entertainment network for men, building upon its existing predominantly male audience composition. As part of this transition, Diane Robina will leave her current role as general manager of the network. The 86 million subscriber cable network, which was acquired by MTV Networks in 2000, will emphasize original programming from a broad spectrum of genres, including animation, video games, men's health, finance and reality programming. In the past few months, the channel has announced some of its upcoming original programming, including the first Video Game Awards, honoring the best video games as voted by players and fans across the country, and the return of REN & STIMPY, featuring new original episodes from John Kricfalusi. REN & STIMPY will be part of TNN's adult animation block, which will also feature Stan Lee's STRIPERELLA, starring Pamela Anderson, and GARY THE RAT, starring Kelsey Grammer. TNN plans to announce additional animated series at a later date. Since joining MTV Networks in 1993, Albie Hecht has overseen the development and production of Nickelodeon series including RUGRATS and SPONGEBOB SQUAREPANTS. In 1997 he built Nickelodeon Animation Studios, and took over Nickelodeon Movies, which he will continue to oversee in his new position.

WASHINGTON (AP) -- House and Senate aides are hammering out legislation that would dole out billions to automakers within a week.
But a congressional aide says the measure would yank back the money if a government-run board and overseer named by President George W. Bush decides the companies aren't doing enough to overhaul themselves.
The plan would draw the emergency aid from an existing loan program meant to help the automakers build fuel-efficient vehicles.
The size of the package isn't final, but several congressional aides say it's expected to be about $15 billion.
In return for the money, the car-makers would have to agree to limit their top executives' pay packages, cease paying dividends, give the government a chunk of future gains and guarantee that taxpayers would be reimbursed before any other shareholders.
Senate Banking Committee chairman Christopher Dodd says GM's CEO needs to go before the company gets bailed out.
And President-elect Barack Obama says it's only right that aid be attached to demands for change.

United Tribes News Speech Archives
Address to the 59th Legislative Assembly
State of North Dakota
"State of the Tribal-State Relationship"
January 6, 2005
Hon. Charles W. Murphy
Chairman, Standing Rock Sioux Tribe
Thank you. Thank you, Mr. Speaker, House Majority leader Rick Berg, Senate Majority leader Bob Stenehjem, House Minority Leader Merle Boucher, Senate Minority Leader David O'Connell, Governor John Hoeven, Lt. Governor Jack Dalrymple, members of the North Dakota State Legislature, Tribal leaders, Tribal citizens, North Dakota citizens and distinguished guests.
Thank you for inviting me to speak before a joint session of the North Dakota Legislature.
The Tribal Nations of North Dakota want to recognize all of the veterans that are in the audience today, veterans of my tribe, and all of our brave soldiers serving throughout the world, specifically in Iraq, who are protecting our precious freedoms. I am proud and humbled to be a Vietnam Veteran, myself.
The Standing Rock Sioux Tribe, and all Tribal Nations will never forget your sacrifices and your family sacrifices.
In addition, I would like to give our sincere condolences to the families of the victims of the tragic Tsunami that hit islands and shores from the Indian Sub-Continent to Africa. The Standing Rock Sioux Tribe is proud of the way America has reacted to this historic act of Mother Nature.
I also want to thank the Sinte'-Ska drum group that sang the honor song and the Standing Rock Vietnam Veterans Association Color Guard. Thank you for bringing our culture into this important event.
This is now the 11th time a Tribal Chairperson has stood before you and delivered an address called the "State of the Tribal-State relationship." This began 20 years ago in 1985.
Today, I'm speaking on behalf of the Standing Rock Sioux Tribe; what I say reflects my thoughts.
Plenty has happened between the Tribal Nations in North Dakota and the State of North Dakota in the past 20 years, and I believe most has been good.
Further, I believe that because of our work together we have learned how to cooperate with one another in many different areas.
That's really the theme of this address - tribal-state cooperation.
Let me give you some examples:
Together, with the legislature and the Governor, in 1992, and again through negotiations in 1999, we worked out a Tribal-gaming compact that provides Tribal members with jobs, income, and a sense of pride and accomplishment. We review our compact every two years with the legislative leaders and the Governor. We believe this process has worked for both the members of my Tribe and the citizens of North Dakota. This cooperation has lead to more than 2,000 full-time jobs in isolated, rural-areas of North Dakota, where the previous unemployment rates on the reservation were as high as 75%.
Not only does our casino provide jobs, it takes people off welfare. As studies have shown, approximately 40% of our current casino employees were former recipients of welfare.
At the same time it makes a significant economic impact on our local economy and the surrounding region. The five tribal casinos located in the State of North Dakota purchase over $40 million annually in goods and services. These purchases are made in 93 communities within the state. I invite all of you to come and visit our Prairie Knights Casino, entertainment center, lodge, and marina, when water levels permit. We're always thankful for your patronage.
I know that's a shameless plug for our casino, but the point is, that we have an economic engine - tourism - that never existed before, because of cooperation with the State of North Dakota.
Our Tribe has also signed with the State of North Dakota a "Tribal-State accord," that recognizes our government-to-government relationship with North Dakota, which is based on treaties and Federal law. Out of that effort came the agreement regarding collection of motor fuel taxes.
More recently, the members of the Standing Rock Sioux Tribe have suffered first through a devastating prairie fire, which destroyed the entire community of Shields, and then the loss of water to 10,000 people in Sioux county because of low water levels on Lake Oahe. The State of North Dakota, and Governor Hoeven, were right there on the scene in both cases with help. In fact, the Governor himself is responsible for helping to save a home north of Fort Yates from the prairie fire in 2002. While touring by helicopter, the Governor noticed an unprotected home in the path of the fire. He had his chopper landed and made contact with another Guard helicopter that brought in water to help douse the fire from the air, saving the home.
Governor, the members of my Tribe are very grateful. You were there on the fire line, you were there when the water ran out in Ft. Yates, and I want to take this opportunity to publicly thank you again for all you've done.
Respectful cooperation is exactly the kind of good thing we can build on to make our relationship even stronger.
We know that through our cooperation we can ensure a clean, safe and dependable water supply, not only for our Tribal members, but also for all citizens of North Dakota who depend on water coming from Lake Oahe and for that matter, Lake Sakakawea. Communities from Parshall through Garrison on to Fort Yates have greatly suffered. This must not happen again.
We need to work together, State and Tribes, in a lawsuit if necessary, to make sure that all of our citizens are never again left high and dry without water because of the actions of the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers.
I also want to thank the legislature and the Governor for their help in restoring federal funding for United Tribes Technical College. Education is important to all of us. This funding is vital. We have a growing population of young people, who otherwise would have no chance for a first rate vocational and technical education. As Chairman of the Board at United Tribes, I know how important our relationship with the State of North Dakota has been and will continue to be.
Our enrollment is on the increase. We are launching efforts to gain additional support in the private sector. We have a strategic plan for expanding the campus, which will help us provide more services and educate more students.
I would like to introduce a student we are proud of. Jason Pretty Boy is from Standing Rock. He's a member of the UTTC Student Senate and just won a national scholarship. He's one of the reasons we appreciate your support.
In addition, we appreciate the legislature and the Governor's efforts regarding "First Nations Day" - a true bi-partisan effort. I would like to thank Senators Bob Stenehjem and David O'Connell, Representatives Rick Berg and Merle Boucher for the leadership they provided concerning First Nations Day. In both 2003 and 2004 the observance of this day has given the state of North Dakota yet another chance to begin to understand the common issues we face.
These are some of the areas of cooperation. There's much more to do and more that we can do together.
For example, we now have a grant from the Department of Justice to assist us, in cooperation, with the State Legislature, the Governor's Office, and the Attorney General's Office to reduce the use of drugs and alcohol statewide. We must stop the use of meth in our rural communities, whether on or off the reservations. I'm confident that we can cooperate on this issue and make a real impact to reduce drug use. I personally would like to thank Attorney General Wayne Stenehjem, for his leadership concerning our continued battle with this horrific problem.
Another topic, health care is of great concern to us. Our people suffer from diabetes and heart disease. The numbers are much higher than state and national averages.
But again I believe there's hope for the future. I've made sure that our Tribe is well represented in a statewide health care task force just now getting started. We want to make sure that wherever our Tribal members are located in the State of North Dakota, they have access to quality health care and can learn to adopt a healthy life style.
We know that more needs to be done to strengthen efforts to reduce discrimination in our state. But don't misunderstand me. Discrimination is not an excuse.
It's vitally important for our Tribal members to have the skills through education and job training to overcome discrimination, to know how to get and keep a job, to work hard and be the most productive citizens they can be, no matter what kind of education and job they decide to seek, no matter what the barriers may be.
We know that we can do a lot more to assist each other with economic development. Our unemployment rate is still too high, 50% or more, and we know we have a lot of talented people who can fill good jobs and reduce the welfare roles.
We appreciate the leadership provided by Representatives Rick Berg, George Keiser, Ken Svedjan, and Senators Bob Stenehjem, Dwight Cook, and Rich Wardner and the efforts made by the 58th Legislative Assembly concerning HB 1504. This bill states that the Interim Legislative Council should consider "methods of creating business partnerships with North Dakota Indian tribes in order to increase primary sector business growth in the state, with a focus on business opportunities that may be available to North Dakota Indian tribes through the United States Small Business Administration 8(a) business development program;"
We appreciate that the Governor mentioned in his State of the State speech on Tuesday the effort started last session to involve Tribes and their members in state economic development efforts. We look forward to working with the legislature to strengthen the proposed legislation. We need to figure out ways to encourage tribal economic development and to create the opportunities for the partnerships the Governor and the legislature have begun to talk about. In the end, our tribal economic development, as we have already seen in gaming, creates new opportunities and jobs for state citizens and is good for the State of North Dakota. We look forward to working with the governor and the legislature on these issues in this 59th Legislative Assembly, to continue this effort.
Our Tribe has limited funding available for economic development from the Equitable Compensation Act. We received these funds because of the loss of our lands that are now under Lake Oahe. The simple fact is that these funds are not enough to reduce our unemployment picture.
We are also working together with the State on childcare licensing issues. Childcare is a vital component of economic development.
Housing also remains a critical issue for our people. We need to learn to develop strategies to increase our housing supply; I know we can do this.
In closing, let me say that I look forward to working with the legislature to create economic development programs that serve the interests of all citizens of North Dakota.
There are so many positive things that we can accomplish if we do as one of our great Hunkpapa leaders, Sitting Bull, said years ago, "put our minds together" and work to solve problems.
Our Tribal -State relationship will flourish through cooperation, respect, and communication. We've been working on that for the past 20 years and we must continue doing so in the future. When issues arise or information is needed, please feel free to contact my office; many times things can be worked out fairly and quickly, in this manner.
Pe'lamaya (Thank you).
God Bless America and the Freedom it represents.

When Oona's cat won't play with her, she turns to her mom, who explains that cats generally don't like the same kind of play that little girls like. To know what a cat likes, you have to know how to understand cats; and, of course, that's difficult, because cats and litle girls speak different languages. Demonstrating that even a little girl can take control of her life and overcome obstacles with thought and perseverance, Oona makes use of the resources at her local library to help her understand cat language and behavior. Using what she learns, Oona modifies her own behavior with her cat and trains Pretzel to respond and play with incentives of food. The result? A happier and less stressed cat, which Oona and her brother Truman can finally play with. This book, based on a true story, explores issues of creative problem solving and the relationship of a pet to its family.

Mo. maker of carbon fiber plans expansion
Wednesday, July 25, 2012
ST. PETERS, Mo. (AP) — A St. Louis-based company that makes and sells carbon fiber worldwide is planning a $15 million expansion at a suburban plant.
Gov. Jay Nixon was on hand Wednesday for the announcement at Zoltek Corp.'s recently renovated plant in St. Peters. Zoltek says the expansion is expected to create 155 new jobs over the next three years.
Missouri officials have authorized a $3.3 million incentive package for the company, which includes more than $3 million worth of tax credits through the state's Quality Jobs and BUILD programs. Officials also have authorized $75,000 for funding.
Zoltek has manufacturing facilities in St. Peters, St. Charles, Texas, Hungary and Mexico. Its carbon fiber is used in products including wind turbines, sporting goods, motor vehicles and offshore drilling equipment.

An Observation
Why do the pictures I have seen on the forum have no backgrounds? I have been in this hobby going on 40 years, and I have always seen tanks with some sort of background. It may be as simple as a coat of paint on the outside of the back of the tank or a commercial background. I have competed in many shows with decorated tanks and wouldn't think of not having some sort of background, painted or other. The background hides those unsightly cords, air lines, and water hoses from view. Sure does increase the asthetic value. Even my lfs's have them. The backgrounds, if done tastefully, enhance the color of the of the overall aquascape, both fish and plants. So, help an oldtimer understand, is this a new concept or just a matter of just not having enough money in the pocketbook?
My breeder, rearing, and hospital tanks are spartan and do not have backgrounds, but these are not used for show and many are sans gravel except when a part of the needs of the fish.
I would say here are the following factors:
1. Tight budget although there are cheaper alternatives.
2. Personal taste..Depends on some members on how they think background looks.:mrgreen:
I agree with you that it hides unsightly objects like electrical cords and they do add a pleasing appearance to the tank.:thumbsup: :wink2:
I used black background. I prefer black when it comes to following Amazon biotopes but plastic rolls with plants?:dunno:
Thanks for the reply. I do not think that the monetary end of this tale has a lot to do with the reason. For one of my 300g tanks for example, the tank is 8 feet long, a printed background costs less than $16, or $1.99 per lineal foot. Cost? I'm sorry, I cannot buy that as a reason. It would cost a mere $8 for the background for a 55g tank, $5 for a 29g tank, ect. We will spend $20 dollars for a fish before we spend the pittance for a background. In fact, there are a few tanks in the competion for "tank of the month" that would awesome if they just had some sort of background. I've even used a mirror. Talk about an effective illusion. The tank looked twice as big and twice as full! Did you paint the back of your tank or use some other means?
A black background makes the tank look a tiny bit smaller than what it is. This is a reason why not many people use it, also they might not find a background that looks or suits the real decor.
I use a black background, black gravel and white bits of wood.
It's simple really, some people just dont like having a background. I have 5 tanks all but one has a background of some sort. Why does one have no background? Because I felt it did not need one :) Everyone is different :)
I think there are a couple reasons.
The first one is most of us don't do show tanks. The idea is to see through the tanks and give them a "spacious" look. A backgrouynd makes the tanks look confined and almost cramped, to me anyway.
I do recomment that when taking pictures for contests it is a good idea to have a background bedcause it enhances the photo and give the look of a natural environment. Even with a background though, it can take away from the fish if there are any dark colored fish that need to be enhanced for the picture.
As far as the "commercial" backgrounds, I have one in a box and have never used it. I think, IMHO, that they look tacky and I have never seen a show tank picture that looked good with a tropical scheme behind the tank that is supposed to "be" the tropical scheme.
I have a background that I want to put behind my tanks but have never seen the pattern in a scape and have not been able to find it printed. I think this might actually be the biggest reason why poeple don't use backgrounds because they want their tanks to be originals and there just isn't the variety out there to get enough people intersted in the backgrounds for a majority to use them.
I just don't feel one is needed on most of my tanks. My big tank i payed a little more to have black acrylic on the back but other than that its not to important to me.
f4a - believe it or not every time someone comes to our humble abodes, we are showing our tanks. I have a few LARGE tanks and if it were not for the backgrounds on each tank, all of the power cords, power filters, and plumbing for the canisters in the cabinet below would show. Truly an eye sore. Thanks for the compliment weasel. I tried that trick at an OCA (Ohio Cichlid Association) show. I won the class.

The current regulatory environment is one that favors larger players. The fact, and an improved economic and financing environment, means that healthcare M&A should increase in the near term.
Sellers need to have a thorough understanding of what type of deal they need to ensure their organization's long-term success. Buyers need to focus on both financial and clinical merger goals and have a thorough understanding of how various challenges may be addressed before moving forward. When done properly, M&A in the healthcare space can result in more financially solid providers that provide the highest level of healthcare in the most cost-effective manner.
