RELATED: Penn National saves $3M in state and local sales taxes
By JAMISON COCKLIN
Township officials and others are betting that Penn National Gaming's $125-million racino — expected to be complete next year — could put the suburb on the map and be the catalyst for more economic development.
It's happened elsewhere with racinos, and right now, it appears as though it's already starting in Austintown.
Headquartered in Wyomissing, Pa., about 60 miles northwest of Philadelphia, Penn National reported a profit of $212 million on revenue of $2.9 billion last year. The publicly traded company operates 28 gaming facilities in 17 states and in Canada.
But more compelling for Austintown, where the township's leaders have worked since 2011 to secure a deal with the gaming company and state regulators, is Penn National's track record of building in out-of-the way spots, where the entertainment offered at its facilities takes root and gives life to more economic development.
"Penn National is always interested in serving as a catalyst for expanded economic development," said company spokesman Bob Tenenbaum. "It varies from market to market, but what grows up around our facilities is not our decision. Our hope is to be the catalyst and work closely with local officials to market an area. We're eager to do that in Austintown. It helps the community, and it helps us."
According to township Trustee Jim Davis, Penn National already has told Austintown it "will help market this township however we want to do it." It's too early to tell what those marketing efforts might consist of, Tenenbaum added.
Hollywood Slots at Mahoning Valley Race Course is being built on 194 acres between state Routes 46 and 11, near the Interstate 80 interchange with Interstate 76.
It will be a 100,000-square-foot facility that will include a food court, sports bar, hundreds of indoor and outdoor seats, video lottery terminals (or slot machines as they are better known) and a 1-mile state-of-the-art race track.
Austintown will earn $1 million in 2014 and 2015 to be used for such things as infrastructure improvements and public safety. That money comes as part of legislation drafted by Ohio lawmakers in May 2012 that provides communities hosting a racino with additional money.
Under the legislation, the township's $2 million will be funded by a portion of the $75 million Penn National is required to pay the state as part of its plans to relocate its thoroughbred racetrack in Grove City, a Columbus suburb, to Austintown.
For every year after 2014 and 2015 that the Austintown racino remains open, the township is expected to take in $500,000. But the funding source for that allocation has not yet been determined, said township Administrator Mike Dockry and Zoning Inspector Darren Crivelli.
That's because, under the May 2012 legislation, the funding source must be agreed upon by the governor, the state racing commission, tracks and horse owners.
Six of the seven communities that will host a racino in the near future (Columbus is excluded) will receive similar deals under the bill.
Dockry said he learned Friday that at least $1 million has already been deposited by Penn National with the Ohio Office of Budget and Management, which will then distribute the money.
Already, Davis and township Trustee Lisa Oles are marveling at the economic development they say has occurred as a result of the racino's construction.
Owners at the Holiday Inn Express & Suites on Cerni Place have permits to build a Candlewood Suites nearby. Owners at the Hampton Inn, off I-80, have permits for a Home2 Suites by Hilton. Combined, those projects are worth $12 million, Davis said. The developers are planning to move an influx of oil and gas workers staying at those hotels to the Candlewood and Home2 locations once they are completed. Both new hotels are extended-stay outlets, and the Holiday Inn and Hampton will then be used to accommodate those visiting the racino, Davis said.
The Austintown Plaza on Mahoning Avenue, across from Walmart, has undergone major renovations with a number of businesses interested in that location. Additionally, eight major hotel and restaurant chains have completed renovations worth more than $1 million combined, including Buffalo Wild Wings and Bob Evans. Several new restaurants such as Five Guys Burgers and Jack Perry's Gastropub also have opened in recent months.
Austintown has a chance to build on the current momentum and capitalize on the edge the slot machines and racetrack will bring to the township. Trustees are considering a host of possibilities that they hope could eventually lead to a new entertainment destination for the Mahoning Valley and beyond.
One revealing clue about how Penn National has continued to build its reputation can be found more than 800 miles northeast in Bangor, Maine — a city in the eastern part of that state with about 32,817 residents — one similar in size and demographics to Austintown.
In 2009, Penn National finished a 116,000-square-foot gaming facility, a four-story parking garage and a seven-story hotel in Bangor at a cost of $138 million. It was the first of its kind in the state, and the company was seeking to do business with the 144,000 people living in the greater Bangor region, while attracting customers from a largely untapped market in eastern Canada.
In that case, Penn National chose a run-down area near a stretch of Interstate 395.
Today, that area is thriving. Since Penn National's arrival, a nearby harness racing track was renovated. The city of Bangor was able to construct a $65 million, 8,000-seat arena and convention center with the money it took in from the Hollywood Casino Hotel & Raceway there.
What's more, an independent riverfront concert series, which Penn National sponsors, has cropped up, drawing big-name acts from across the country, and restaurants have opened nearby while a stretch of the city's downtown has been revitalized.
"Certainly, without the revenue generated from hosting Hollywood Casino, without that, it's doubtful that [Bangor] would have been able to fund that arena," said Stephen Bolduc, Bangor's economic development officer. "One could make the argument that for someone interested in coming to Bangor, [the casino] diversifies the options they have. Penn National knew they weren't going to draw from the entire state, and they saw a new market here within an hour or so and from those in eastern Canada."
Unlike Maine, though, Ohio's gaming market is getting crowded.
In June, gamblers wagered $978 million at the state's four casinos and two racinos, according to the Ohio Casino Control Commission.
Revenue at all casinos fell, and numbers in Pennsylvania have been relatively flat on a year-to-year basis.
Some are speculating that while the facilities will continue to stoke economic development, revenues are not likely to go much higher.
"It all depends on what kind of product Penn National will offer [in Austintown]. If it can't stand up to other locations in the region, it won't be so competitive and it will be more desirable on a local level," said David Schwartz, director of the Center for Gaming Research at the University of Nevada, Las Vegas. "It all depends on the service they offer, customer service, ancillary dining and entertainment, things like that."
The racino's long-term success and any corresponding economic development that arises from it in Austintown could either be bolstered or set back if the facility can't compete on a regional level, Schwartz said.
Location is one thing Austintown has that sets it aside from the crowd.
Tenenbaum said Penn National chose to move racinos in Toledo and another near Columbus to prevent the company from "cannibalizing its own business." It operates two of the state's four casinos in those cities.
Though revenue went up 6.8 percent from April to June of this year, the company still lost $12.2 million at Toledo and Columbus — a sharp deviation from the $66.7 million in profit for the same quarter last year.
During a conference call to discuss earnings with investors and reporters last week, Peter Carlino, Penn National's chief executive officer, acknowledged that the company's Ohio properties have yet to meet its expectations.
As a result of growing competition, the company announced during the call that it would open the Austintown racino with 1,000 slot machines, rather than 1,500 as it originally planned.
But the performance of Penn National's racinos, and those of its competitors in areas such as Columbus, have company officials optimistic that consumers want additional gaming options.
"We felt certain locations around the state were underserved in terms of gaming," Tenenbaum said. "Dayton and the Mahoning Valley stood out, and we sought permission to relocate to those areas."
Even if the state's gaming market appears crowded at the moment, Austintown trustees are keenly aware of the prime real estate Penn National is building on.
Although Mountaineer Casino Racetrack and Resort is just 60 miles south in West Virginia and Horseshoe Cleveland is about 67 miles northwest, Penn National is meticulous in siting its facilities.
On I-76, I-80, state Routes 46 and 11, more than a half-million vehicles pass through Mahoning County each day, according to the Ohio Department of Transportation.
Regardless of nearby casinos and racetracks, Tenenbaum said Penn National's target market in Austintown will be within a 50-mile radius.
"Given the location in Austintown and the access to two major interstates, I'm sure to some degree people will be coming from farther away," he said. "But most regional gaming facilities see the bulk of their business within 50 miles."
According to the Youngstown/Warren Regional Chamber, 6.8 million people live within 75 miles of the Valley.
The I-80 interchange is believed to be one of the busiest in the country, Davis and others said.
"All those arteries come together right there," Davis added. "The people [Penn National] markets to — an older generation — those people are here, they can afford to play the slot machines. Austintown is a package deal."
Oles said she's working closely with her colleagues on a big concept — attracting a major indoor water park — like those in Sandusky or Mason, just outside Cincinnati. She said an abundance of land near where the racino is being built, combined with a strong supply of water from the Meander Reservoir makes Austintown an ideal location for such an attraction.
Oles and Davis said the township will soon send a solicitation letter to Cedar Fair Entertainment Co., one of the largest regional amusement operators in the country that owns parks in Sandusky and Mason, hoping to draw interest.
Sarah Boyarko, vice president of economic development at the chamber, said it would be foolish if the trustees didn't explore all their options. She also said current economic activity will only increase when 1,000 construction workers arrive over the next year to finish the racino. Another 1,000 permanent jobs are forecasted once the facility is open.
The chamber has worked to map the land surrounding the racino site, Boyarko said, for real-estate consultants working with major hotel and restaurant chains interested in building there. She said those talks were "very initial, though."
Boyarko added that Penn National will help to diversify the region's economy, something business officials here continue to strive for.
"I think it's a no-brainer. We're close to the highways, close to Pittsburgh and Chicago, we are at an ideal location," Oles said. "They say the three most important things in real estate are location, location, location, and it doesn't get any better than in Austintown. We're not really sure what the result is going to be yet, but I think this could become an entertainment destination for sure."
Think of all those OVI citations coming!
If it's good enough for other communities, what's the advantage in Austintown not wanting it?
It will bring in customers who will spend in this community that could use the money. There will be some spin-off businesses start up and that won't hurt.
The concern about gambling addiction would be the only negative in this. But it's like the liquor industry, in that alcohol is for sale. You're not forced to drink it and no one is forcing anyone to gamble. We have a lot of people in this area that go the Rivers Casino, Las Vegas, Atlantic City and other gambling cities. Lets get and keep some of that money here.
"the love of money is the root of all kinds of evil"; some of the kinds coming via the racino: more addiction to gambling/drugs/alcohol; more poverty; more bankruptcy; more domestic violence; more concentration of wealth among the vultures of vulture culture.
We are being overwhelmed with gambling casinos within a couple hours of our area. Erie, Cleveland (2), Columbus, Salamanca, NY, Pittsburgh (2), West Virginia (2).
I don't believe The Valley has enough population to support a casino and if they need out-of-town visitors to play, then the other markets will be a factor.
With other casinos reporting declining revenues, adding another casino to the mix will only dilute the revenue further. There is only so much money and so many players available and I believe they have been tapped out.
This racino is too little, too late. It won't be open more then 5 yrs. if that. Spending Money is getting tighter and tighter every year. People are finding it harder to have extra money to gamble. Only the fools will lose their money and then go hunting for money by stealing, robbery etc. Just wait and see !!!
One of the greatest things about America is that we have choices....I am not aware of the casino folks putting guns to everyone's head....if you don't want to gamble, don't go, it's just that simple..........
Though I am in favor of having the track and casino in Austintown, the trustees are fools to think there will be much development because of the track. Just go to Mountaineer. Nothing nearby. Go to any casino. Nothing nearby. Go to Atlantic City. Nothing but the casinos. The town is still poor. Go to Detroit. Need I say more? The money goes from the local residents into the hands of the rich casino owners, who live nowhere near here.
We have Three casinos in the State of Delaware and they need a bailout because the surrounding states have now joined the casino bandwagon. So becareful what you wish for.
If the casino brings in "outside' money it will be good for this area.
All of the eating and drinking establishments here only tend to recirculate the pool of money that is already in the area.
Just got off federal jury duty, Gentlreman who was on trail for stealing id's and then cashing government refund checks in the amount of $336,000 in 3 months. Guess where he spent most of the money, at a casino. We convicted him on all 14 counts.
Good for you and the jury. What that man did was the equivalent of a short circuit, in electrical terms.
His money came from ill gotten gains and does not belong in legitimate enterprise even though it would still function as any other money.

Twitter gives out users' details to UK town council
It wasn't lying when it said it would
SOUTH TYNESIDE COUNCIL has confirmed that the micro-blogging web site Twitter released information about its users for a court case.
A spokesman for the council said, "Twitter have released information to our lawyers and this information is currently being analysed by technical experts."
The court action relates to a number of allegations against council leaders posted on Twitter by five different accounts including one named "Mr Monkey".
The spokesman continued, "The council has a duty of care to its employees and as this blog contains damaging claims about council officers, legal action is being taken to identify those responsible."
A court order obtained by the council meant that Twitter was required to hand over details of the accounts, which included its users' names, addresses, email addresses and telephone numbers.
Twitter recently confirmed that it would be prepared to release its users' details in legal situations if required to do so. This followed Ryan Giggs' name being revealed by 75,000 of its users as the footballer behind a super injunction.
Ahmed Khan, an independent South Shields councillor, is suspected to be the Twitter user "Mr Monkey". He was first contacted by Twitter in April in regards to the court action.
Twitter later informed Khan that he had 21 days to file a legal argument or it would release the account details. He denies being the owner of the "Mr Monkey" account.
The costs of the legal action are not known precisely, but we have been told that "costs are less than 75 thousand pounds". µ

When a person is successful in their own rights, you just have to show your appreciation when they strive so hard to go outside their social ambient to help others. That is why Curtis Young buzzing mixtape project tour is rolling right as rain.
After a successful stop in East St. Louis, St. Louis and Memphis, the Billionaire Ambition mixtape tour will focus on Peoria, IL. Curtis Young and his lovely wife Vanessa, have seen a lot of pavement within the markets of 30 days.
Stepping out of the prolific shadows of his father, legendary hip hop/producer/entrepreneur Dr. Dre, Curtis is seeking to be a hip hop activist, as well as a teacher in the game of music branding.
He is also a rapper, with a style sort of unique, and remarkably like his father. However, his approach to the Billionaire Ambition mixtape tour, is to seek out all the hard working Independent artists in the Midwest, and bring them to the stage.
A stage that will help teach them the game of the hip hop industry, as well as guide them on how to brand themselves. In the fabric of this thing called life, nothing is ever promised, but if you strive hard and have an ambition. Anything may be possible and dreams can be achieved.
With the help of East St. Louis businessman/activist/studio head Clint Collins, Curtis is moving full steam ahead, with his team including the legendary DJ Scratch.And let's not forget social executive Yvette Hicks, Clint's new assistant.
The next stop is Peoria, and I will have the opportunity to finally settle down and be a part of this promising ride. I also got an inside scoop on the promoter Gemini Jilla, who is hosting the tour at Trendz Nightclub, August 15, 2014 in Peoria, IL.
He is hailed from Chicago, and was raised in Bloomington IL, and now lives in Peoria. He is a solo rap artist and a Linwood Coalition member. His goal within the scope of Curtis' project is to bring together all types of artist, so they can have the opportunities to manage, market and promote their music.
Opportunities ranging from artist features, video and photo shoots, radio and television commercials to promote albums, account management and web layouts. Gemini Jilla was fortunate to jump on board by contacting Clint Collins' assistant Yvette Hicks, a hard working young lady who is making power moves in the St. Louis/East Louis areas.
Gemini Jilla have partners coming from all the world to participate in this event and for future opportunity for artist, please feel free to contact him at 309-713-4842.

That's an extremely bad idea. My evidence to back it up... At the moment, we don't know how the servers are going to be handled. Nor how the game will be released.
Assuming they will go the wow route and create Europe and US servers etc. There are many countries in Europe, most in different time zones, the launch time for the game will different for all these countries, which is basically going to mean that players in some country in Europe will go out and buy the game install it, download any patches, play, then make their Jedi, bam, there's your 10% cap.
Then 3 hours later, on the other side of Europe, the shop doors open, players buy the game, get home, install the game, download any patches, play the game, then make your Jedi "Ohh sorry the 10% cap has been reached".
So, a better way to do this, is cap the servers for a % of how many players there are, the more non Jedi that join, the more Jedi will be able to join. To be honest, I don't quite care who doesn't like this idea, I happen to think it's a good idea which will definitely decrease Jedi numbers, but not make them impossible to get and be made. (BTW I want this game)

Port Orange man gets 30 years for bikers' deaths
Published: Thursday, April 18, 2013 at 2:13 p.m.
Last Modified: Thursday, April 18, 2013 at 8:30 p.m.
A jury found a Port Orange man guilty Thursday on two counts of DUI manslaughter for the deaths of an Apopka couple during Biketoberfest 2011, drawing him a 30-year prison sentence.
Al R. Hopkins, 55, was sentenced by Circuit Judge Raul A. Zambrano to two consecutive 15-year terms — 30 years — for his role in the deaths of Randall D. Allen, 40, and his wife, Laura J. Allen, 44.
The pair were riding their motorcycle on Taylor Road near Williamson Boulevard on Oct. 16, 2011, when Hopkins turned his red pickup into their path, causing the motorcyclists to slam into it. The impact threw Randall Allen onto the roof of Hopkin's truck, across the roof and then back onto the ground. Laura Allen was thrown to the pavement. Both were pronounced dead at the scene.
Blood tests showed Hopkins had a blood alcohol level of 0.345, more than four times the legal limit of 0.08.
While Hopkin's attorney, assistant public defender Matt Phillips, acknowledged his client was impaired at the time of the accident and as such was guilty of DUI, he said he was not guilty of manslaughter.
Phillips said the Allens also were drunk when they slammed into the right side of his client's pickup.
He said Randall Allen's blood alcohol level was almost three times the legal limit at 0.238, while his wife's was 0.132.
Because he was impaired, Phillips said, Randall Allen, who was driving the motorcycle, did not try to brake or swerve to avoid the pickup as it made its turn.
"This crash was caused by the operator of the motorcycle," he said.
However, Assistant State Attorney Chris Miller argued to the jury of two men and four women that it only had to find Hopkins contributed to the Allens' deaths to be guilty of manslaughter.
"You don't have to determine to what extent, you only have to find the defendant caused or contributed to the death," Miller said. "This is DUI manslaughter because as a result of the defendant operating the vehicle while impaired he failed to yield the right of way and that failure to yield the right of way caused the crash. And the crash caused the death."

Playing The Last Tinker: City of Colors evokes memories of both Aesop's fables and David Sedaris's book, Squirrel Seeks Chipmunk because both use animals to illustrate human foibles. It's somehow easier to recognize stupid behavior when it's enacted by something not human and City of Colors employs this strategy to great effect. By using cartoony candy-colored critters, it effectively conveys a serious message—the importance of racial equality.
This is surprising because on the surface, The Last Tinker: City of Colors is merely a cute action-platformer where digital equivalents to Jim Henson's muppets live in a vivid place called Colortown. Kermit the Frog said "it's not easy being green," and in Colortown, it's not easy being green, red, blue or any other color. Once harmonious, the multicolored burg is torn apart by rampant colorism. Where all colors once worked holistically for the greater good, they now hide within monochromatic ghettos and dicker pointlessly over which color is "best." Enter Koru, a young boy/monkey/scarf-wearing thing who lives in the Outer district on the fringes of Colortown.
The Outer district remains relatively friendly and free-thinking, and Koru enjoys the companionship of neighbors who continue to see the benefits of color blending and accept him for who he is. Traditionally, the monkey's seen as a trickster figure, but here, though physically monkey-like and possessing of a monkey's agility, smarts, and resourcefulness, Koru's well-meaning and generous. He's a fair-play kind of guy who readily looks out for both his neighbors and his floating pinata-like sidekick, Tap. As the only one of his kind, (the titular "last tinker") it's no surprise that Koru is the one called upon to save the myopic residents of Colortown.
What's the worst thing that could happen to a place called Colortown? Obviously, it could have the color sucked out of it. Sure enough, that's what happens when a threatening entity called the Bleakness shows up, covering everything in white goo and turning Colortown residents into gray, colorless statues. Though the Bleakness threatens everyone regardless of color, those yet-unaffected by it appear incapable of letting go of their negativity long enough to defend themselves. Getting the different colors to work together against the common enemy is a real chore, and Koru has his work cut out for him calming the raging reds, uplifting the bummed-out blues, and reassuring the gutless greens.
From the outside, the residents' color discrimination is absurd. In the face of imminent destruction, they continue to worry about color purity and in the face of that stubborn ignorance, it's easy to dismiss all Colortown natives as idiots. Still, their behavior is easily compared to that of our own world. City of Color's developer Mimimi Productions is based in Germany, where its racial message no doubt resonates differently than it does here in the 'States. Here, it calls up polarizing events like the Fruitvale Station shooting and the George Zimmerman trial, which draw attention to just how strongly race discrimination, despite our protestations of social sophistication, still affects all our lives.
Of course, City of Color isn't life; it's a game, and games get to enjoy the happy endings to which our world isn't often entitled. The threat is neutralized, the different colors learn to trust one another again, and Colortown is reborn even better than it was before. Since the game has distinctly child-like appeal, (it even has a kids' difficulty level) this makes a kind of sense. After all, our culture likes to believe that goodness is rewarded, and City of Color, like the fables that came before it, gives its characters the chance to redeem themselves before it's too late.
The Last Tinker: City of Color is an extraordinary game in every sense, but especially because of its message. It's not only thematically savvy, it uses simple, non-threatening means to demonstrate the foolish self-destructiveness of racism in terms gamers of all ages can understand. Though adults can certainly enjoy it, clearly it's aimed at a new generation—one that with any luck, will realize the value of differences and appreciate the importance of every color's contribution.

Guardian Environmental Services, Inc. (GES) of Livonia, a heating and cooling (HVAC) mechanical contractor, is celebrating its 30th anniversary in 2014. GES co-owners, John C. Philbin a former HVAC tech and Anthony D'Ascenzo, a former plumber, saw the market for commercial HVAC mechanical services to compliment a growing plumbing services segment. GES began as a sister company to Guardian Plumbing and Heating, Inc., which started in the early 60s and is still going strong today. GES specializes in commercial HVAC, offering maintenance contracts and project management
According to Tom Barker, GES Vice President, the company's focus and consistency is the same today as it was 30 years ago. "Our biggest accomplishment is the fact that we have been successful for 30 years with the same leadership," he said. "We have been successful during the ups and downs of our local economy."
GES focuses on several "critical" environmental needs of its commercial customers, including those who operate health care operations and data centers. One of their Detroit-area customers who depend on GES to maintain its critical data center as well as mechanical systems throughout its facility is Raymond James, a diversified financial services company located in Southfield.
Lisa Kerr, manager of office services for Raymond James, said that GES is the only mechanical company she has known since she began with her company 19 years ago. That's saying a lot about the value of this long-term business relationship. "Our corporate office has very high standards and GES has always met them," Kerr said.
The GES workforce is comprise of members of Operating Engineers, Local 324, a group that is dedicated to finding good opportunities for its members which includes working at GES. "We have an apprenticeship program and currently have apprentices working for us," said Barker. "We think the best techs are the ones we train ourselves."

World Trade Organization Resources (World Trade Organization) (WTO)
Resources include an online learning program; the WTO library catalog; and trade glossaries. The following is particularly informative.
Trade Classifications
Understanding trade classification systems is essential for locating foreign trade statistics. Classification systems organize products whereby related items have similar codes. Confusion arises because the classification systems adopted by different organizations sometimes differs. The Harmonized Schedule (HS) system is probably the most often cited. However, students ought to be aware of others as well. Descriptions below cover HS codes, plus selected other popular systems.
Harmonized (HS) Codes for Import Products (Sometimes referred to as the HTS (Harmonized Tariff Schedule)).
Click here for statistical sources based on the Harmonized Tariff Schedule.
The Customs Cooperation Council developed the Harmonized Schedule adopted by most nations beginning in 1989. The U.S. International Trade Commission uses a 10-digit HS codes for reporting import statistics. The first 6 digits conform to an international standard harmonized product code. Participating countries can add an additional 4 digits that are unique to its products.
Browse the most recent HS schedule at http://www.usitc.gov/tata/hts/ or search for codes at http://hts.usitc.gov/ (searchable by word or number).
The most recent printed copy of the Harmonized Schedule is in Lockwood Documents at US ITC 1.10:year. CD-ROM copies are in the Capen Multimedia Center at US CD-ROM ITC 1.10/ 4 (1997-present) .
Schedule B Codes for Export Products
Click here for statistical sources based on Schedule B
The U.S. Bureau of the Census uses Schedule B codes to classify American exports. The initial 6 digits are identical to those in the HS system. However, the following 4 numbers are similar, but sometimes differs. Schedule B includes approximately 8,000 products.
Browse or search for Schedule B codes at http://www.census.gov/foreign-trade/schedules/b/index.html
Standard International Trade Classification (SITC)
Click here for resources which provide statistics based on the SITC codes.
The United Nations mandates that nations use the 5-digit SITC codes when reporting imports and exports. SITC Revision 3 is the most recent version.
Browse SITC Revision 3 at http://unstats.un.org/unsd/cr/registry/regcst.asp?Cl=14 or consult an alphabetic index at http://unstats.un.org/unsd/cr/registry/regcia.asp?CL=2. A printed copy is at Lockwood Reference at HF1041 C55 1994.
North American Industrial Classification System (NAICS)/Standard Industrial Classification (SIC) Code
Click here for resources which provide statistics based on NAICS or SIC codes.
The three North American Free Trade Agreement (NAFTA) nations (United States, Canada, and Mexico) classify domestic industries and products by NAICS codes. Prior to the adoption of NAICs in 1997, the U.S. used Standard Industrial Classification (SIC) codes. Although it is outdated, SIC codes still appear in selected references. Very important, Standard Industrial Classification codes used by Canada in pre-NAICS times and by Great Britain are not comparable to American SIC codes. Also, do not confuse SIC codes with SITC codes used by the United Nations.
The NAICS home page provides access to the 2002, 2007, and 2012 schedules. (http://www.census.gov/eos/www/naics/). A printed copies are at:
- 1997 edition

Concordances that compare NAICS and SIC codes are at http://www.census.gov/eos/www/naics/concordances/concordances.html. A printed version of NAICS/SIC Code United States Manual 1997 and its 2002 Supplement is at Lockwood Reference HF1042 .N34
Click here for resources which provide statistics based on end-use codes.
End-Use codes summarize the Harmonized codes and Schedule B into six "end-use" categories. These categories are further subdivided into 140 commodity groups.

I'll be a life time customer!
by User149773 on
This place is great, their prices can not be beat. They do the work quickly, generally in the same day or by the next day for sure your computers done, if they dont have to order in any parts. After the re-installs they put on Microsoft office, and adobe, and all that good stuff. My computers working like as if it was brand new. I was debating if I should just buy a new computer, or just fix my old one, but for just $49 its so much better to get it repaired, and for $25, they were able to do a data recovery and transfer to my new Hard Drive. I highly recommend this small town business, great customer service!
Really good service!

So I brought in my computer, they were able to do a windows re-install really that same day. I really like the quick service of these small town businesses. I also have a lap top, i took it to some other places, and they wanted to charge me like almost $200 to fix it. But here at the computer hospital, it only costed me for the new part they ordered in, and for the flat fee labor. So it was so much cheaper than other places. Also they have some sweet, high quality gaming custom computers. Go check them out.

Went in to get keyboard changed out in the process of that they lost my laptops charger and wanted to charge me for another only after refusing to buy a new one did they give me one of their generic chargers and then when I got my laptop home I found that they had installed their anti virus program without asking and ever since my laptop has never functioned correctly , when I asked them fix whatever they did to my laptop, I was told " no",The best he could do for me for messing up my laptop was charge me basically 1/2 of their flat fee, which is unexceptable considering they caused this problem, all in all , I would not recommend them
Hidden Fees
by User114457 on
The $49.95 does NOT incl. backing up your computer. That is an additional charge of $25. Dont be mislead & I think the owner smokes wacky weed or something because you can have a conversation or two with him and he forgets what you said almost instantly. I would NEVER go there again & I really have to wonder about previous reviews. My experience was totally the opposite of other reviewers. They will also constantly quote to you what other places charge or will charge. Look around afterwards I found 3 other places in Sandy that would have done it cheaper & had a better reputation.
Very good service
by User92959 on
I broke my laptop and took it in to them. They ran diagnostics and let me know it would be $180 for a new hard drive and install. This is for a 500gb hard drive. I decides to just do it muself which is probably a bad idea. i asked them to break down the cost. it was &130 for the drive and $50 for labor. i asked how much i owed for them to check it out, they said free. The diagnostics were totally free so I don't know why other ratings would say otherwise. Overall a good business with some cool gaming comps in the lobby.

Dial M For Murder – Alfred Hitchcock
The next night the camera is returned to the human, fallible level to watch the drama unfold. Much of Hitchcock's brilliance is revealed in the way he manipulates the audience's involvement. When Margot suddenly announces her intention to go to a movie, thereby ruining all of Tony's masterful plan ning, the audience roots for him as he persuades her to stay home. Ironically, his vain suggestion that she clip articles for his scrapbook results in the ultimate failure of his plan, by providing her with the weapon she needs for her own defense. Tony unobtrusively removes her latchkey from her purse and places it under the carpet in the stairway before he and Mark leave for dinner.
When Lesgate enters the apartment that night, Hitchcock uses the tech nique of "film time" to stretch out action which normally would take only a few seconds. The result is an increase in the level of tension as the importance of the events is emphasized. In one of the few cuts outside the apartment, the audience sees that Tony's watch is slow and that Lesgate is about to leave. To the audience's relief, the call comes through just in time, and as Margot answers the phone, Lesgate slips a knotted stocking around her neck and begins violently choking her. The dim lighting creates an ominous atmosphere which emphasizes her agony as she struggles against his superior strength. Suddenly, however, she is able to grasp the scissors on the desk and plunge them into her assailant. In the one truly gruesome shot, Lesgate falls on his back, driving the scissors in deeper.
Tony, realizing that the plan has gone awry, now comes on the line to tell Margot not to call the police until he gets home. Panic-stricken and grateful to hear his voice, Margot follows his instructions. Clever as well as diabolical, Tony quickly alters the plan to make it appear that Lesgate had been blackmailing Margot, who in turn killed him. Tony plants Mark's love letter on Lesgate, removes the latchkey from the victim's pocket and places it in Mar got's purse, and hides a knotted silk stocking in the wastebasket before calling the police.
From here on the tension is derived from a cat-and-mouse game between Tony and Inspector Hubbard (John Williams), an investigator who is the epitome of the British detective. The audience now begins to identify with the inquisitive, perceptive Inspector.

AC/DC has moved forward with plans to record in Vancouver, B.C. despite the absence of guitarist Malcolm Young and will once again team with Grammy-winning producer Brendan O'Brien at the helm. The veteran Auzzie rockers have shipped their gear to Vancouver's Warehouse Studio and will begin work without their co-founder, who is away on medical leave.
According to an article posted May 1 at AntiMusic.com courtesy of ACDCFans.net, frontman Brian Johnson has confirmed the band will carry on with previous plans to record in Canada beginning May 1 and will reunite with O'Brien. The producer, whose impressive list of clients include: Bruce Springsteen, Neil Young, Pearl Jam, Rage Against the Machine, Stone Temple Pilots and Bruce Springsteen, worked with the "Highway to Hell" hitmakers on their Grammy-winning 2008 comeback album "Black Ice," which was also recorded at the same Vancouver studio.
The ex-Geordie singer unveiled O'Brien's involvement during a recent promotional interview for his new TV series "Cars That Rock", which will premiere on May 8 on UK's Quest TV. Asked about future big plans, Johnson says, "I'll be in Vancouver with the boys on May 1......we'll be in the studio May, June and July with Brendan O'Brien."
Fans can check out the interview at Youtube.com. Pictures of the band's gear being unloaded at The Warehouse Studio can be viewed at ACDCFans.net.
The 66-year-old rocker originally revealed the band's plans for the spring Vancouver recording sessions and a fortieth anniversary tour during a Valentine's Day radio interview in Palm Beach, Florida. Johnson remarked, that as an anniversary present to fans, he thinks the band "are going to try to do 40 gigs to thank the fans for their undying loyalty!"
Although AC/DC has released a statement confirming Young's illness and temporary absence from the band in order to squash break up rumors, details about his medical condition have not not addressed. It is unclear how the rhythm guitarist's condition will impact their studio process or future touring plans.
AC/DC has not recorded a studio album since 2008's "Black Ice" and has not toured since their hugely successful Black Ice Tour wrapped up in 2010. The trek consisted of 168 shows and drew 4.9 million people, grossing a whopping $441.6 million to become the 2nd highest grossing tour of all time.

Box Score and Paly-by-Play as a PDF?
????????????SEATTLE ?C Walks, errors and mental mistakes again proved to be too much for the Arizona baseball team to overcome as Washington (20-9, 3-2 Pac-10) took the conference series between the two with a 5-1 win in the series finale on Sunday.
??????????? A pair of defensive miscues on bunts led to three runs while a fundamental error on the base paths erased the only momentum Arizona had on the day as the Huskies handed UA its third straight conference series loss.
??????????? Trailing 1-0 with runners on first and third in the sixth UA reliever Daniel Schlereth threw away a bunted comebacker which led to an unearned run and extended the lead to two.
The Cats then tossed away their lone scoring chance in the game in the eighth when pinch runner Hunter Pace was picked off first base with the tying run in scoring position at second.
Arizona put the cap on a frustrating day by posting two more errors for three more runs in the eighth.
??????????? After struggling to muster any offense on the day, UA (15-11, 3-6) rallied to cut the UW edge to 2-1 with one out and runners on first and second in the eighth. However, with the go-ahead run on first in the form of Pace, the Washington pickoff derailed the UA momentum and Colt Sedbrook followed with a harmlessly bouncer to first to end the inning and UAˇ?s only real scoring threat in the game.
UW took advantage of some shaky control by Arizona starter Eric Berger to jump out to an early 1-0 edge. UWˇ?s Bradley Boyer made Berger pay for his third leadoff walk of the game in the third by delivering a run-scoring double to put the Dawgs up 1-0.
UW starter Jorden Merry (4-0) dominated the UA batting order. After allowing a one-single in the first inning to Colt Sedbrook, the UW right-hander retired 16 straight UA batters, including four on strikeouts, until Diallo Fon singled with two outs in the sixth. He struck out six and walked two over 7 1/3 innings to pick up his fourth win of the year.
??????????? The Wildcats will head to San Diego this evening, take Monday off and then face San Diego State in a pair of games on Tuesday and Wednesday before finally returning to Tucson in time for next weekendˇ?s three-game series against Indiana State.

I've inherited work on a Django we app that makes use Python modules that import svmc. When I type ./manage.py runserver I get the following:
Error: No module named svmc
Solution sought:
sh > python
>>> import svmc
More bits and pieces:
So I asked a related question, which was answered, and led me here, since I can't seem to perform the necessary steps mentioned in the solution provided by said answer.
On my other machine (Linux, Ubuntu, Lucid Lynx), I've been able to install quite nicely with the package manager apt-get. I'm using Homebrew for my OS X package manager, and would prefer to avoid Darwinports, Macports or Fink to install libsvm.
My environment:
- Mac OS X 10.6.4 Snow Leopard on Intel-based x86_64 architecture
- Python (64-bit)
- Django 1.2.1
- setuptools, disutils, and more!
What I've Tried:
- I downloaded libsvm-2.91 from http://www.csie.ntu.edu.tw/~cjlin/libsvm/
- I unpack file, cd into python, ran make, put libsvm.so.1 and svm.so on PATH in .bash_profile, and I got the same error: no module named svmc.
- I looked at the .py files in my project referencing svmc, and noted that the only references to svmc are in the python_old directory of the downloaded files (libsvm-2.91)
- I downloaded SWIG 2.0 and installed it
- cd into libsvm-2.91/python_old
Finally, I ran (inside libsvm-2.91/python_old): sudo make cleaner rm -f *~ *.o *.so *.pyc *.pyo rm -f svmc_wrap.c sudo make all
Truncated screen vomit:

The Crimson Tide advance on to face second-seeded host Georgia Tech at 9:45 a.m. (CDT) on Saturday for a spot in the NCAA Finals on Sunday at 9 a.m. Top-seed California defeated Arizona State to advance to the semifinals in the other side of the bracket and will face No. 5-seed Illinois at 9 a.m. on Saturday.
"We played really well today," Alabama head coach Jay Seawell said. "We looked really relaxed and I'm firmly convinced that last year's experience helped a great deal. We looked very comfortable and played just really good golf today."
Junior Bobby Wyatt led things off for the Crimson Tide in the opening match with a 2&1 win over UNM's Victor Perez. Wyatt won the opening hole and the match went back and forth until he secure a 1-up lead on the 14th and then won the 17th hole to close out the match.
"Bobby really set the tone in that first match," Seawell said. "We wanted to put him in that match because he is such a great leader. He has great energy and it was a great match, the tightest match of the day."
Senior Scott Strohmeyer and junior Cory Whitsett both cruised to big wins. Strohmeyer played the third match and defeated Benjamin Bauch 4&3, ending the match with a par on the 15th hole. Whitsett ended his match with John Catlin even quicker with a 5&4 win that he closed out with a par on the 14th hole.
"Strohmeyer was solid as a rock and how he was in control early and that gave us a lot of confidence," Seawell said. "Whitsett just played phenomenal golf. He and seven birdies and I thought he looked really good."
Sophomore Justin Thomas was all square with the Lobo's James Erkenbeck through six holes before the reigning National Player of the Year won the seventh, 10th, 11th and 14th holes before closing the match with a par on the 15th for a 4&3 win.
Junior Trey Mullinax was the only Tide player to fall on Friday, dropping a 5&4 decision to Gavin Green.

Dec. 7, 2011

CARBONDALE, Ill. - Trailing by five points early in the second half Western Kentucky, reeled off a 12-2 run and coasted to 62-55 win over Southern Illinois.
Playing with a depleted roster, the Salukis (1-4) jumped to leads early in both halves, but lost momentum when they had to go to their thinned-out bench.
Southern led, 10-4, six minutes into the game, as senior forward Mamadou Seck scored the first four points of the contest. With 13:46 to go in the half, head coach Chris Lowery brought in three reserves, and the lead evaporated as the Hilltoppers (3-4) scored 10 unanswered points in a little more than two minutes.
The same thing happened at the start of the second half. Trailing by three, the Salukis scored the first eight points of the half to reclaim the lead. Minutes later, Western would exploit SIU's bench with its decisive 12-2 run. Derrick Gordon was the Hilltoppers' go-to guy, finishing with 14 points and 13 rebounds.
Nine players dressed and saw action for the Salukis, including freshmen Harry Whitt and Antonio Bryer, who both logged career-highs in minutes. During one stretch, Southern fielded a lineup of three freshmen and JUCO walk-on Kourtney Goff.
"When we subbed, we lost our focus, and we gave up open threes and two lay-ups," said Lowery. "(Offensively) we missed five lay-ups in one possession."
Two starters -- Justin Bocot and Dantiel Daniels -- did not play for Southern and Lowery did not offer a timetable for their return.
"Obviously, this is the type of game for Bocot to excel at -- an up and down, run and jump type of game, " Lowery noted.
Seck had a mammoth game for Southern with a career-high 20 points, seven rebounds and seven assists, but his supporting cast provided little help.
"We knew that with them being down a couple of guys that Seck was going to be aggressive and he didn't disappoint," said Western Kentucky head coach Ken McDonald. "He's a terrific player and we wanted to have a lot of focus on him and make him work for baskets. We couldn't keep him down because he's so good."
The Salukis stayed within striking distance throughout the second half, keeping the deficit at single digits, but they could not generate a significant run.
No Division I team has played fewer games to date than Southern Illinois, and the Saluki offense was less than a finely tuned machine. There were numerous missed open looks near the basket as the team made just 35 percent of its shots from the floor, including 18 percent from 3-point. Complicating matters, Southern committed 19 turnovers, its highest total in the last four games.
"We played hard, but we had a lot of miscues," Lowery said. "We did a lot of things that hurt ourselves."

Spa Party (33 photos)
Sign In or Register Now
I recently hosted a spa party for my daughter's 8th birthday. I kept it pretty simple as we had hosted a very big first communion party the weekend before. I didn't use any outside vendros, I did everything myself.
When they girls came over, they were created by the spa check in counted. There they chose a nail polish color & flip flops and then took their seat around the table. At each place setting was a maincure set, a mirror, a water bottle that said Hydrate, a plate for their snacks and their name tag. Up first was nails. Using the nail polish the girls each picked out, we went around painted their nails and adding flower stickers on top. The girls sat and chatted as their nails were drying.
I created a large beauty bar filled with goodies for the girls. I used lots of dollar store items and used my own label to replace the old ones. The beauty bar consisted of cotton balls, cottons rounds, face mask wedges, foot pumpices, hand soap, luffahs, bath fizzies, and bath salts. The girls used their favor box and took one of each items from the beauty bar. We used their foot pumpices to scrub their little feet after they soaked in pink dollar store bins. The girls felt so pampered! As some of the girl were patiently awaiting their foot soak & scub, they were able to relax in the "rest and relaxation area" which was a few of Ikea's mesh curtains place around a hula hoop. I place a down comforter and some pillows on the around and formed the curtains around it. It also served another purpose as all the girls sat in there to watch Lola open her gifts.
After they had their feet done, it was on to the face mask! This was all the girls favorite part. I used a strawberry soufle face mask and using the mask wedges, I applied the mask to the girls faces. They were then given cucumber slices to place over their eyes. They all sat back and relaxed for a few minutes. I went around with their face towels and using the face misters took their masks off. Once their faces were nice and clean, they each got another fresh mist of water to hydrate their faces.
To finish up the spa day, it was on to snack and cupcakes. The girls had a great time sitting around the table eating and gabbing about their nails and facials.

Tucson, Ariz. On the heels of their Pacific-10 Conference women's doubles championship, University of Arizona women's tennis players Lindsay Blau (Ossining, N.Y.) and Michelle Gough (Johannesburg, South Africa) were named the Pac-10's Women's Doubles Team of the Year today. Currently the 10th ranked doubles tandem in the country, they captured what was just the second Pac-10 doubles title in Arizona women's tennis history back on April 30.
The duo concluded the season with a 28-11 doubles record.
In addition to their doubles honor, both Blau and Gough were also named to the All-Pac-10 honorable mention team for singles play.
Arizona returns to action this Saturday, May 13, when it takes on New Mexico in the NCAA Regionals, which will be held at USC in Los Angeles, Calif. The winner of that match will take face the winner of the USC-Maryland-Baltimore County on Sunday, May 14.
