What's the buzz from the world of sports? Here are some items that will have people talking:
Remember the scene from "Caddyshack" where The Bishop plays the best round of his life in a hurricane and then is struck down by lightning? (Of course you do.)
That was nearly Charlie Beljan during the last PGA event of the season. Well, minus the weather. And the lightning.
Beljan had, what he said, was a sever panic attack during the second round on Friday. He said he felt like he was going to die. Yet, he was 8-under par for the round, signed his card for a three-shot lead and was hauled off to the hospital on a stretcher.
Forward ahead to Sunday and he's hoisting the tournament trophy and has his PGA card for 2013.
Commented Charlie Hanger, executive editor of Golf.com and part of the SI.com Golf Group: "What I can't get my head around is how he shot 64 while feeling like he was 'going to die,' with paramedics following him around the course. If he felt that bad Friday, how was he upright on Sunday?"
Who knows what the Washington State athletic department or the Pac-12 Conference will find while "looking into" Marquess Wilson's allegations against football coach Mike Leach?
Even if it turns out to be nothing, news of a player leaving a program because he felt he was subjected to "physical, emotional and verbal abuse" (according to Wilson) will do nothing to help WSU build its program back to the Rose Bowl status it once enjoyed not too long ago.
WSU knew what it was getting into when it hired Leach in the first place. Now it might be time to take a hard look and decide again what is best for the football program.

OLYMPIA, Wash. (AP) — A Longshore union says it has reached a temporary settlement to end a months-long labor dispute at the Port of Longview.
The International Longshore and Warehouse Union and the company, EGT, did not immediately disclose details of the agreement Monday. The ILWU has been aggressively protesting the company since last year, when EGT decided to use a contractor that staffed a new grain terminal with workers from a different union.
Union protesters blocked trains and repeatedly faced arrest despite the warnings of a federal judge. The judge has fined the union more than $300,000 for the tactics.
ILWU President Robert McEllrath said in a statement Monday that the agreement is a win for the union, the company and the Longview community. He says they are looking forward to developing a positive working relationship with EGT.

Blue Core Research's "NO BULL" buyers guide to Database Auditing products - Part 11: Rule EngineSubmitted by tduong on Thu, 2010-12-02 00:54
The Rule engine is one of the critical pieces in an auditing solution. It sits between the data collection and the reporting output. It is the heart of the functionality that will take the job of reviewing the reports from impossible to manageable to easy. The reason it is so important is the vast amount of SQLs that go through a database engine. A good rule engine will reduce the amount of SQLs in the report and increase their relevance.
Blue Core Research's "NO BULL" buyers guide to Database Auditing products - Part 12: Change ControlSubmitted by tduong on Sat, 2010-11-20 15:30
Change control is an important part of being compliant. You will not pass an audit without having a change control process in place. One of the requirements you might face is to monitor all changes in the database and make sure they all came from the change control process.
Blue Core Research's "NO BULL" buyers guide to Database Auditing products - Part 13: Application user IdentificationSubmitted by tduong on Mon, 2010-11-08 22:23
There is a common misconception about the value of application user identification. The reason for the misconception is the marketing of this feature by some companies, but we'll get into all that later. First lets examine the idea.
Most applications have a single database user that they use to access the data. To enforce security, these applications maintain an internal list of users and roles that they enforce. In other words – instead of using the database security features, that functionality is performed by the application. The result is that when you look at the database activity you see everything coming from a single user. An obvious requirement is to map the database activity to the application user as it is seen by the application.
8 Bulk Update Methods ComparedSubmitted by rleishman on Mon, 2010-11-08 17:29
What I love about writing SQL Tuning articles is that I very rarely end up publishing the findings I set out to achieve. With this one, I set out to demonstrate the advantages of PARALLEL DML, didn't find what I thought I would, and ended up testing 8 different techniques to find out how they differed. And guess what? I still didn't get the results I expected. Hey, at least I learned something.
As an ETL designer, I hate updates. They are just plain nasty. I spend an inordinate proportion of design time of an ETL system worrying about the relative proportion of rows inserted vs updated. I worry about how ETL tools apply updates (did you know DataStage applys updates singly, but batches inserts in arrays?), how I might cluster rows together that are subject to updates, and what I might do if I just get too many updates to handle.
It would be fair to say I obsess about them. A little bit.

It will also be informative to communities working actively with other Rule Engines, who never considered the Oracle Rule Manager.
Blue Core Research's "NO BULL" buyers guide to Database Auditing products - Part 14: Oracle and MS SQL ServerSubmitted by tduong on Fri, 2010-10-29 00:59
Most companies have more than one database vendor. Oracle, SQL Server, DB2, MySQL and Sybase are all common depending on the company, and some use less common databases such as TeraData. There are, however, some important questions to ask before you dive into your cross platform heterogeneous requirements:
* Which databases do you actually need to audit? Is all your SOX, PCI, HIPAA or other sensitive data scattered across all these databases, or is your SQL Server just used for small home-grown apps that do not have any auditing requirements?
* Do you have the same DBA or team managing all these databases, or are they different teams that will end up managing auditing solutions independently? In the later case you are better off choosing the best solution for each database rather than mandating a single solution no one is too happy with.

In durance vile here must I wake and weep,
And all my frowzy couch in sorrow steep
O wad some Pow'r the giftie gie us
To see oursels as others see us!
It wad frae mony a blunder free us,
And foolish notion
Robert Burns, 1759-1796
Like all great poets and thinkers, Scotland's favourite son, Robbie Burns, can get to the heart of human experience in a few words. Looking for an appropriate epithet to summarize the spirit of this chapter I found this marvellous conjunction of what it means to endure despair about our lives and what counselling is all about. Traditional wisdom has it that Burns was being rather scathing about our tendency to think well of ourselves and thus "pride goes before a fall". But his verse could just as easily be turned on its head. The point is that too many of us do not think well of ourselves and imagine all sorts of failings and inadequacies, which can sometimes rob us of the ability to act to solve the problems that inevitably confront us in life. I will never forget the comment made by Beverley Alimo-Metcalfe in a personal development programme; "Think about how you talk to yourself-if your friends said that to you, would you ever speak to them again?" Maybe this is why our friends don't tell us what we need to know about ourselves! However, the point is that we are often our own worst critics and one basic aim of counselling is to prompt us to consider more positive and assertive ways of viewing things. The hope is that this may open up solutions to an apparently hopeless situation. Alternatively, we may be behaving in inappropriate ways-unable to see things from the point of view of others for instance-that may be making life more difficult than it needs to be.
Whatever the background theory or particular technique, counselling has at its heart the desire to give "unconditional positive regard"-the sort of thing your perfect mother would have given you if she could have put herself permanently in your shoes to see the world from your point of view,

With its rich agricultural heritage, Johnson County is home to numerous classic barns. But because of the cost of maintenance, many barns here and around the state are an endangered species.
Rough-sawn beams and high ceilings hearken back to an earlier era in local history. They are a symbol of the area's agricultural segment and a reminder of what the community was founded on.
"These are the kinds of barns people were raised with. We can identify with them," Sam Kemp, a Bargersville area farmer, said in a 2010 Daily Journal article.
In 2001, a Leadership Johnson County group compiled a listing of the county's historic barns. The goal was to document rural architecture that in many cases was in danger of fading away.
But while the barns have rich architectural and historic value, it is up to the owners to maintain them, sometimes at great cost.
Legislation giving barn owners a property tax deduction was passed by the most recent session of the General Assembly. House Bill 1046 provides a state property tax deduction on historic barns. It was signed by Gov. Mike Pence last week.
The object was to keep from penalizing through higher property taxes improvements to classic barns. As one farmer testified during the legislative session: Why should he spend the money for a new roof when it will simply result in a higher assessed value for the structure and, as a result, a higher tax bill?
The bill also would require the state's office of tourism to promote historic barns. This could lead to regional barn tours, not unlike the architectural tours in Columbus that focus on modern design.
Some communities, such as Fulton County in north-central Indiana and Champaign County in Illinois, already have designated barn tours as part of their tourism efforts. It would be easy for other areas, including Johnson County, to put together similar routes for architecture enthusiasts.
A meeting to address the disappearance of these historic landmarks in the rural Hoosier landscape is planned for July 12 at the Indiana State Fairgrounds in Indianapolis.
Many older barns aren't effective for today's modern farming. Most were built to house animals, feed and equipment; and many of the farms no longer have animals. In addition, today's machines are far bigger than their ancestors and no longer even fit in the barns. So the incentive to maintain them is even less.
We commend all of Johnson County's farmers and landowners who are committed to preserving these pieces of our agricultural past and hope that the recent legislative measure will help keep them up.

India Seeks Bids For BHEL Share-Sale Mandate
NEW DELHI--The Indian government Wednesday invited bids from investment bankers to manage state-owned Bharat Heavy Electricals Ltd.'s public share sale.

The last date for investment bankers to submit bids is July 15.

The idea of capital punishment goes back to biblical times. In the words of the Old Testament: "When one man strikes another and kills him, he shall be put to death. It shall be done to him as he had bestowed on to others; fracture for fracture, eye for eye, tooth for tooth." Yes this philosophy may have worked in ancient times but is it still relevant for use in today's society? In many sociological studies it has been said that a man is a product of his environment.
A man could be involved in a murder just because of his environment. A child raised in poverty as an orphan is has different experiences than say a child raised in a wealthy home with two loving parents. With this fact, I believe crime is almost totally dependent on a person's upbringing and experiences. For example, a child raised in a lower class family with a convicted felon for a father has a much greater probability of becoming a criminal himself. With this theory should a criminal be so harshly punished, after all the crime was kind of destined to be committed due to the man's life experiences?
I believe that threatened punishment doesn't always achieve the results hoped for. Individual behavior is too complex and unpredictable to produce a generalized punishment formula for everyone. Until there is more knowledge about judging people accurately capital punishment should be stopped.
I think rehabilitation should replace the death penalty. This is the most humane form of punishment. Why throw away human lives needlessly. Psychologists can ensure that that they will not commit any more crimes. After the criminal is...

Singapore Subsidiary Forms Japan Fund With Canada Pension Plan
SINGAPORE— Global Logistic Properties Ltd. GBTZY 1.54 % , a listed subsidiary of Government of Singapore Investment Corp., said Thursday it formed a US$500 million joint-venture fund with the Canada Pension Plan Investment Board to develop logistics facilities in Japan.
The joint venture represents the first direct investment in the Japanese property market by Canada Pension Plan, which manages 153.2 billion Canadian dollars (US$156.6 billion) in funds.
It also reflects Global Logistic's expansion in its two key markets, Japan and China.
GLP Deputy Chairman Jeffrey Schwartz said the company is seeing solid demand for logistics development in Japan and that the fund will be its exclusive vehicle for logistics development there.
Each partner in the joint venture will contribute US$250 million of equity over three years into the Japan Development Fund, which will be an open-ended fund with a long-term investment horizon.
Global Logistic Properties said it had identified a site in Tokyo for its first potential development, but didn't elaborate on the size or nature of the property.
The fund will focus on developing assets in Tokyo and Osaka, the statement said.
GLP's shares gained 4.2% to 1.74 Singapore dollars (US$1.44) on Thursday, compared with a 0.2% rise in the benchmark Straits Times Index. The stock touched an intraday high of S$1.76, well below its record intraday high of S$2.33 reached on its second day of trading.
The stock, which was listed on the Singapore Exchange in October, has fallen 22% this year, underperforming the STI's 9% decline, as concerns about the outlook for the Chinese economy weighed on the company.
The property company is in the midst of an expansion drive, having acquired a 53% stake in China's Airport City Development Co. Ltd., the sole developer of airside cargo handling and bonded warehouse logistic facilities for Beijing Capital International Airport, for US$375 million earlier this year.
It is also in final negotiations to acquire a Japanese portfolio of real estate from LaSalle Investment Management for up to ¥140 billion ($1.83 billion), making it the biggest property deal in Japan in two years, people familiar with the transaction said in July.

While I was updating though, I realised that the name I gave Eevee is more suited for an Ice-type, so once I get to Goldenrod City, I will be rectifying the situation, but for now, I will be referring to her as Eevee instead of Shirayuki.

Tactical Missiles and Military-Industrial Corporation (NPO Mashinostroyenia) will merge together to become an aerospace "superholding" devoted to the field of hypersonic technology development, according to Pravada.ru.
A "superholding" in this case relates to a "mega merger" between two giant defense corporations in Russia.
"It's not only the integration of brains and the industrial potential. In the future, we will need to think about the test site ... We believe that with the help of this association, rather than takeover, we can accelerate the work in the field of hyper sound," said Dmitry Rogozin, Russia's deputy prime minister in charge of the military industrial complex, about the plans for the new superholding (see article: Russia tries to catch up with USA's level of hypersonic weapons http://english.pravda.ru/russia/politics/25-09-2012/122266-hypersonic_weapons-0/).
Russia is already developing hyper and supersonic technologies and is heavily involved in the military evolution of drone warfare (see article: NPO Molniya designing new hypersonic pilotless craft in Russia http://www.examiner.com/article/npo-molniya-designing-new-hypersonic-pilotless-craft-russia ).
More about the two corporations involved in this case.
Military Industrial Corporation is a "Research and industrial association of machine building" (MIC "NPO Mashinostroyenia") was founded in pursuance of the Russian Presidential decree No. 1161dated September 13, 2004 regarding "open joint stock company Military Industrial Corporation - "Research and industrial association of machine building" and decree No.865 of the Russian Government dated December 29, 2004.
The head of the Military Industrial Corporation is Alexander Georgievich Leonov, Director General and Designer General. Top management of this organization include the following individuals: Alexander Semaev, Anatoly Khromushkin, Michael Crishko, Alexander Dercacheu, Vyacheslav Martynov (source: http://www.npomash.ru/society/en/management.htm ).
These men are expected to play critical roles in the new superholding.
Tactical Missiles Corporation was created in 2002 on the basis of Zvezda-Strela federal state unitary enterprise. The corporation includes a number of companies that produce highly efficient missiles, guided bombs and air, land and sea-based arms systems.
See also : Tactical Missiles Corporation (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tactical_Missiles_Corporation ).
The new superholding will have a long way to go to catch up with the United States, which borrows lavishly to fund hypersonic weapon development, even in times of record deficit spending (see video: DARPAs Hypersonic Nuke Glider the 'Falcon' test flight (Apr 23, 2012) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=a78X0dchG84 ).

SPERLING, Lena (née PEYSNER)
Early on the morning of June 10, 2008, Lena (Leah) SPERLING (PEYSNER,) daughter of the late Max and Judith PEYSNER, passed away peacefully, in her 94th year. She is joining her beloved husband, Sam SPERLING (1916-1987). Lena lived a long, productive and satisfying life. Born in Hull, Yorkshire, England, she arrived in Toronto, Canada, in 1936 and soon after married Sam. She was a happy, funny woman, fiercely supportive of her husband and children. She was a challenging cook and her bread pudding will be missed greatly by her eldest son, Gerald, though less so by her daughter, Maxine MONROE and her "baby," Stephen David SPERLING. She was much loved by her daughter-in-law, Maggie SIGGINS, her late son-in-law, Shelly MONROE and her late daughter-in-law, Marsha SPERLING. She was very active in the Royal Canadian Legion, General Wingate Branch. Her husband served for four years in the Royal Canadian Navy during World War 2. She was also an enthusiastic member of the Hebrew Men of England Sisterhood, especially during the years when Sam SPERLING was president of that congregation. As her children grew up, Lena took work outside the home, working for many years at Queensway Electric. She was very proud of her nine grandchildren: Jody (Jennean), Faith (Jimmy), Sherry (Wayne), Adam (Alla), Shoshana (Maury), Carrie May, Erin, Daniele (Ryan) and Amber. Leah is also survived by ten great-grandchildren: Taylor, Peyton, Cameron, Duncan, Lucas, Samantha, Sofia, Katya, Henry and Freia. Lena SPERLING was an exciting and courageous automobile driver and her almost perfect driving record was a matter of some wonderment in the family. Services will be held at Benjamin's Park Memorial Chapel, 2401 Steeles Ave. West, Toronto. Interment will be at Lampton Cemetery in the Hebrew Men of England Section, on June 11, 2008. Please check with Benjamin's, 416-663-9060 for precise times. Shiva will be at Maxine Monroe's house, 60 Bruce Farm Dr., Toronto, 416-590-9671, June 11 to 13. In lieu of flowers, please make donations to Am Shalom Synagogue, Barrie, Ontario.

Stand Down helped
Non-shutdown letters to the editor for Oct. 11, 2013: Homlessness; obesity in kids; climate change; football stadium
Thanks for homeless veterans event
As it rained Wednesday evening, I couldn't help but think about my shelter arrangements.
I'd like to say thanks to all those involved with the Veterans Stand Down in July. I was exposed to resources I never thought I had. I'm in a shelter now with meals, a place to sleep and a place to shower.
I've been through some job classes, i.e. resume writing, and interviews.
I will continue my job search and feel confident I will make it on my own again.
As for my fellow homeless folk, I've made a lot of friends. For whatever reason people are homeless, I wish them well in getting their issues resolved.
I pray for more job opportunities.
Thank you all at the Veterans Stand Down.

Chance for S.D. to help homeless women
Wouldn't it be nice if San Diego were to find shelter for homeless women? This could become a reality if our city leaders choose to take an opportunity before them.
The old E Street library has been emptied of its books. Its fate is undecided, and interim Mayor Todd Gloria has directed Civic San Diego to put out requests for proposals as to the building, with the ultimate thought of selling this asbestos-constructed site, and perhaps using funds generated for low-income housing, some designated for homeless persons. But surely this will take time.
What use might this asset be put to, in the interim?
I nominate the cause of homeless women. In the course of a month, some 500 women sign in at Rachel's Women's Center on Eighth Avenue. The library building could service that number. Why not give this a try?
The City Rescue Mission is now overflowing with women and children, and Catholic Charities and Father Joe's Villages might well bid against each other for such a noble effort.
This is, I believe, a historic opportunity.

Fighting childhood obesity
In 2010, more than a third of children and adolescents were overweight or obese. School lunch programs providing nutritious meals are essential in combatting this epidemic.
Schools drop out of the program because kids don't purchase the healthier options. Schools are then not reimbursed as much and can't afford the program. Kids don't welcome this change because they are used to tasty, unhealthy food at home and don't choose the less tasty, yet healthy, options.
For the success of lunch programs, more education is needed regarding the importance of nutrition and healthy eating in the home, so children are taught these habits at an early age. This is especially important for California, where the obesity rate is expected to rise from 23.8 percent to 46.6 percent in 2030.

Nature in control of climate
Rapid climate change has happened many times throughout the geologic record. Some recent examples include the desertification of the Sahara just over 10,000 years ago, the early Medieval cooling of Greenland with the concurrent wiping out of the colonies there, and even the little ice age of the 1600s to the 1800s. Never mind that we are overdue for some warming now after almost 80 million years of continual planetary cooling.
The facts are that nature, not man, controls the climate and has repeatedly made changes far greater than any we are being warned about today. Nature shows a propensity to make repeated drastic changes without regard for the convenience of any species then extant. No matter how much we want the climate to remain stable, and no matter how much we struggle to keep it that way, we just can't have it. Like every other species, we must adapt or die.

Bank of America Reiterates Buy Rating on Axiall Following Decent 2Q Results
In a report published Friday, Bank of America analyst Aleksey V. Yefremov reiterated a Buy rating and $56.00 price target on Axiall (NYSE: AXLL).
In the report, Bank of America noted, "We see decent 2Q results as reassuring following the negative surprise posted in 1Q. Although environment in PVC and building products is not as robust as management has hoped we see fundamentals moving in the right direction in 2H13 and beyond. We reiterate Buy and price objective of $56...We recently initiated coverage of AXLL with a Buy rating and a PO of $56. After a choppy start in 2013, we believe that the inflection point is near for the US PVC commodity cycle, with AXLL being the primary beneficiary. As a result of stronger construction demand we see US PVC utilization rising, aiding producers' pricing power. We expect the company's Building Products business to benefit from increased US construction as well. Our 12-month PO of $56 is based on 11.5x our 2014 EPS estimate of $4.90, which implies upside potential of 24% including a dividend yield of 0.7%."
Axiall closed on Thursday at $45.29.

Neko Case Surges Forward with 'Flood'
From 'Fox Confessor'
Hear selections from Neko Case's latest CD:
There's no mistaking Neko Case's voice, which she says is both her signature and a tool she's still learning how to use.
"I know that I can sing really loud," Case says. "It's like having that really big Evinrude engine on the back of your fishing boat. But I've been trying to be more dynamic with my voice, and not just singing on 10 all of the time out of terror."
Case grew up in Washington State and has been on her own since she was 15. After playing in punk bands and attending art school, she started making records that drew on a growing love of gospel and country music.
Songs like "The Virginian," from her first album in 1998, still prompt many to label her music country. But, like many creative musicians, she's clearly progressed beyond any given category.
"The most apt description, the one that doesn't make me go, 'Oh, God' — a writer once called it 'country noir,' which kind of relates it to country, but it's also kind of cinematic at the same time, which is the way I feel about it," Case says. "I think my songwriting might be a little more on the darker side maybe."
Neko Case calls her new album Fox Confessor Brings the Flood. It's a fairy tale title that's as enigmatic and visually evocative as her songs.
"I try not to be overly literal," she says. "When I'm writing songs, I write down a lot of words, and then I try to simplify it. I like to give people hints or words that make visual pictures for them."

Unbeaten Saints rally past Dolphins 46-34
MIAMI Drew Brees emerged from the locker room with a fresh cut under his chin and another between his eyebrows.
He made the Miami Dolphins look worse.
Brees and the unbeaten New Orleans Saints fell behind for the first time all season, then overcame a 21-point deficit Sunday to beat Miami 46-34.
The NFL's highest-scoring team topped 40 points for the fourth time and outscored the Dolphins 22-0 in the fourth quarter.
"There was no doubt on our sideline we would come back and win," said Brees, who threw for 298 yards. "They had given us their best shot, and we had played about as bad as we could play. All we had to do was string together a few drives and gain the momentum back. We knew it was going to happen, and it did."
NFL passing leader Brees had his worst day of the season, with three interceptions, a lost fumble and five sacks. But he led touchdown drives of 82, 79 and 60 yards on successive possessions in the second half to put New Orleans ahead.
Tracy Porter's 54-yard interception return then sealed the win for the Saints (6-0), who are off to their best start since 1991 and are the only unbeaten team in the NFC.
"It can be a season-defining win," linebacker Scott Shanle said. "This was a test we hadn't faced yet, and we couldn't be happier with the way we responded."
Brees threw for one touchdown and scored twice. After his 2-yard keeper with 8:35 left gave the Saints their first lead, he celebrated by dunking the ball over the crossbar.
"There are times in the game when a team just needs an emotional lift," he said. "I felt like I had to do something to get everybody hyped. The first thing that came to mind was to dunk it."
Fading at the finish, the Dolphins (2-4) fell 2 1/2 games behind AFC East leader New England.
"This was our game to win," Miami's Ricky Williams said. "We fought and we fought. They just fought harder at the end."
Williams carried only nine times but tied a career high with three touchdowns rushing, including a 68-yard run, the longest of his career. At that point, the Dolphins appeared en route to a stunning blowout.
By the time the Saints picked up their second first down 22 minutes into the game, Miami led 24-3. Against New Orleans, that wasn't enough of a cushion.
"With Drew Brees, it's like the score is 0-0," Miami cornerback Vontae Davis said. "We knew they would come back and that it would be a tough game."
Two Dolphins turnovers and an ill-advised timeout helped New Orleans back into the game.
After Davone Bess lost a fumble at midfield late in the first half, Marques Colston caught a 21-yard pass that was initially ruled a TD. When a replay review with 5 seconds left determined the ball should instead be placed at the half-yard line, the Dolphins called timeout.
With the Saints trailing by 21, coach Sean Payton sent his field goal unit into the game. During the timeout, Brees lobbied for a shot at a touchdown.
"I just told him I'd get it," Brees said. "I said, 'I'll get the touchdown. I know exactly what to do.'"
The Saints' offense returned to the field, and Brees plunged across the goal line to make the score 24-10.
New Orleans struck again barely a minute into the second half when Darren Sharper scored on an interception return for the third time this season. The 42-yard runback came after he snatched a pass that deflected off the hands of receiver Ted Ginn Jr.

Heated debated Tuesday night among Leon County Commissioners as they discussed the possible biomass plant in Tallahassee.
Commissioner Bill Proctor proposed a resolution to oppose building a biomass plant within residential neighborhoods.
Residents against the plant urged commissioners to officially oppose the plant... while an attorney for the biomass company B-G & E, explained that the location was chosen because it fit the company's desired criteria.
But residents say they're concerned for those who will be affected by the plant.
"Is it the kids who live in the area... the infants who live next to the plant or is it the business owners who have property in the area or Florida State's stadium when there's a game and there's an odor that passes over," says Josh Kasper who works near the proposed site for the plant and owns several nearby residential properties.
The Commission voted to postpone the resolution until January over the strong objections of Commissioners Proctor, Jane Sauls and Bob Rackleff who wanted to pass the resolution Tuesday night.

InsiderAdvantage shows very similar numbers to the Rasmussen poll we posted earlier, although Ron Paul pulls a lot more support in this one.
Gingrich – 34%
Romney – 26%
Paul – 13%
Santorum: 11%
Other – 2%
Undecided – 14%
Could the tide be turning in Newt's favor? It certainly seems so. In fact, look at these overall preference numbers from Gallup…
And that was BEFORE South Carolina. No doubt that gap will get a lot closer when they run these numbers again.
GOPers have decided that they're not happy with Romney and they're actively seeking an alternative.
Game on.
