NBA: Lots of Rumors, No Big Deals (So Far)
A lot can happen on deadline day, as the NBA's rumor mill either culminates in something truly game-changing—such as when the Detroit Pistons traded for Rasheed Wallace and ended up winning the 2004 championship—or nothing much at all. This year, the needle is pushing closer toward the sleepy side. Building up to Thursday's 3 p.m. ET deadline, the biggest deal thus far has been a sum of parts swapped between the Houston Rockets, Phoenix Suns and Sacramento Kings for various reasons, most of them money-related. The Rockets, while attempting to save cap space for the offseason, got back potentially promising rookie Thomas Robinson, the former Kansas standout. The Suns paired up Marcus Morris with his twin brother Markieff, because when you have the worst record in the Western Conference it's important to have a little fun. The Kings did something very Kings-ian, shedding salary in anticipation of a franchise move to Seattle by giving away a player they took with a top-five draft pick less than a year ago. Why, you ask? "These are the Sacramento Kings owners," Yahoo's Kelly Dwyer laments. "They frost their tips, they fail at business, and they dislike Sacramento Kings fans."
That's about it, though of course something could change by the afternoon. The Boston Celtics, who David Roth covered in yesterday's Fix, are probably keeping the remaining parts of their aging Big 3. Atlanta's Josh Smith, the not-quite-a-max-but-still-very-good player, continues to be inquired over by any team interested in an athletically singular forward charitably referred to as LeBron Lite, which is most of them. New Orleans's Eric Gordon, once the league's premier young shooting guard before being hampered with a slate of surreptitiously problematic injuries, is unlikely to go due to his bulky contract (just signed in the previous offseason, it's fun to note). J.J. Redick, always a reliable name bandied about in trade rumors, made no closed secret about his apathy over possibly leaving the Orlando Magic—though no one escapes a lottery team quite so easily. Most of the other parts in play, though, are fairly small potatoes, unless you consider Fab Melo a worthy part of the NBA's hot stove action.
Still, there's a reason for all the rumor-mongering beyond the typical dance of any trade deadline. A clause in the most recent collective bargaining agreement signed during the lockout will soon something called the "repeater tax," which raises the luxury tax rate for teams who've paid the tax in three of the previous four seasons. It won't take effect into the 2014-15 season, but it'll include this current season under its umbrella of qualifying years—which means teams who are close to the line have been especially active in trying to move things around, even if that's meant entertaining the swapping of a future Hall of Famer for scrap metal.
In demonstrating the clause's punitive effect, SB Nation's Tom Ziller theorizes a situation in which the Los Angeles Lakers found themselves $20 million over the cap with a $95 million roster. "If they were not repeater, their total tax payment would be $45 million, and their total payroll would be $140 million," he writes. "If they were a repeater, their total tax payment would be $65 million, and their total payroll would be $160 million. That's why teams want to avoid the repeater tag." Simple enough, though there's still a few hours left to see if the threat of a higher bill is enough to force any team's hand on a real roster dump.

A planned expansion of the Ontario County landfill remains in limbo as does a long-range plan for site in the town of Seneca. After the county's Environmental Quality Committee meeting Wednesday committee member Kris Singer, R-Canadice, said there has been no word from the state on its review of the county's draft of a long-range masterplan or an anticipated landfill expansion.
The state Department of Environmental Conservation must sign off on both before either can move forward.
In May, the county Board of Supervisors accepted the findings of an environmental review for a proposed expansion within landfill boundaries.
The landfill is allowed a daily limit of 2,999 tons of waste. That limit would not change under the expansion plan, but landfill manager Casella Waste Systems needs to open a new section within the landfill site to adequately deal with all the garbage and other waste materials accepted from Ontario and numerous other counties in New York, as well as from other states and Canada.

What is Stormwater Management?
When it rains or snows, the amount of water that is absorbed back into the environment varies largely on whether the land is paved or natural. Rain and snow on natural or undeveloped land gradually infiltrates into the soil, replenishing groundwater supplies and slowly discharging excess runoff to local creeks. In contrast, as we pave roads and sidewalks, construct buildings or add other impervious surfaces, the amount of water that can be naturally absorbed after a rain or snow event is reduced drastically. Water that cannot infiltrate into the surrounding environment is called water runoff or stormwater runoff. In order to prevent our communities from flooding, stormwater runoff is diverted into the storm drainage system and carried to the nearest stream. Ultimately, this runoff makes its way to the Chesapeake Bay through our numerous watersheds.
Because impervious surfaces prevent stormwater from infiltrating into the soil, runoff increases in quantity and speed, causing environmentally harmful, and potentially dangerous, bank erosion in streams. As stormwater runoff flows over pavement and yard areas, it picks up pollutants like nutrients, oils, sediment, trash, heavy metals and chemicals that are left on our streets and walkways. Eventually, all those pollutants make their way down through our watersheds to the Potomac River and the Chesapeake Bay.
In order to help prevent bank erosion and pollution in our watersheds, engineers and biologists have worked together to develop "Best Management Practices," also called BMPs, to accommodate stormwater runoff while minimizing environmental impacts. Best Management Practices encompass a wide range of man-made structures, such as stormwater management facilities, or simple everyday preventative house-keeping measures, such as picking up after pets and not littering.
Stormwater management facilities are developed to reduce the amount or quantity of stormwater runoff and provide time for most pollutants to settle in a holding area where they will not be transported to streams. Typical stormwater management facilities used in residential and commercial areas include: dry and wet ponds, rain gardens, trenches, pervious pavement, wetlands and manufactured facilities (which are usually underground baffling systems designed to filter out certain pollutants).

Ladies and gentlemen its time for dreams to come true.
On Wednesday, Pasadena's celebration of the new year will be historic.
After all, the day marks the 125th edition of the Tournament of Roses Parade and the 100th Rose Bowl game.

"I think it's going to be a big year here in Pasadena," said Christine Susa. director of marketing and communications at the Pasadena Convention and Visitors Bureau. "We're going to get a lot of tourists, a lot of locals, so I think there's going to be a great vibe on the street."1. SEE THE FLOATS BEFORE THE PARADE

- Rosemont Pavilion, 700 Seco St., on Monday from 11 a.m. to 5 p.m.; Brookside Pavilion, Lot I south side of Rose Bowl Stadium, Monday from 11 a.m. to 5 p.m.; and Rose Palace, 835 S. Raymond Ave. on Monday from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. and Dec. 31 from 9 a.m. to 1 p.m.
- Tickets are $10. Children 5 and under are free. Get there early. Ticket sales will end when capacity is reached.
What's a better way to get close to the floats than to help decorate them? Deco Week started Thursday, so contact float builders and organizations to see if they need a few extra hands today. And keep in mind:
- Be prepared to get dirty.
- Wear old clothes and shoes.
- Generally children under 13 cannot volunteer.
Here is a list of float companies; Artistic Entertainment Services in Azusa, 626-388-1839; Phoenix Decorating Co. has two decorating sites, one at Rosemont Pavilion and another at Rose Palace on South Raymond; Paradiso Parade Floats lists volunteer openings at paradisoparadefloats.com/volunteer. Organizations that self-build are the Burbank Tournament of Roses Association, Cal Poly Universities Pomona and San Luis Obispo, Downey Rose Float Association, La Canada Flintridge Tournament of Roses Association, Sierra Madre Rose Float Association and South Pasadena Tournament of Roses Association.3. GET TO THE PARADE ROUTE EARLY AND CARVE OUT YOUR SPOT
You can claim your spot along the parade route beginning at noon Tuesday and camp out overnight.
- Everything must stay on the curb until 11 p.m., and spectators can move out to the "Blue Line" on the street.
- Pick up a map.
- Make sure you know where the bathrooms are.
If you're dressed for the occasion, it will be a much more enjoyable parade and you'll make it to the end:
- Wear comfortable shoes.
- Bring a seat cushion.
- Wear layers, it will be chilly when the parade starts, but will warm up.
- Bring coffee, water and snacks.
After the parade, floats are parked along Sierra Madre and Washington Boulevards for visitors to take in.

In his new NBC comedy, Michael J. Fox takes an anything-goes approach to his battle with Parkinson's disease and even plays it for laughs at times. He hopes viewers will be ready to play along.
"It is my reality. Parkinson's itself, there's nothing horrifying about it to me," he told reporters at the Television Critics Association summer press tour. "I don't think it's gothic nastiness. There's nothing horrible about a shaky hand."
Fox said he and producers didn't take a calculated strategy to how they would deal with his Parkinson's on the show. There were no "pie charts," no discussions over how to couch it.
"I just thought I'm going to do this and let it be what it is," he said. " ... Sometimes it's frustrating. Sometimes it's funny."
His much-publicized comeback vehicle, "The Michael J. Fox Show" contains several parallels to the actor's real-life trajectory. He plays a beloved TV anchor man who put his career on hold to spend more time with his family and focus on his health after he was diagnosed with Parkinson's.
But now five years later, with the kids busy growing up and Mike growing restless, he's returning to the airwaves.
Fox said that guest appearances on shows like "The Good Wife," "Rescue Me" and others in recent years convinced him that he was ready to get back to TV on a full-time basis.
"They really brought me to a place that this is what I'm built and programmed to do," he said. "Why can't I? There's no reason not to do it."
And now that he's back, Fox is quickly getting into the groove again.
"I'm rebuilding the muscles," he said. "I'm getting more comfortable with the schedule every day."
Fox does admit, however, that he has to pace himself a bit differently than he did when he was acting on "Family Ties."
"But I say to (his wife) Tracy, that's just being old. That's not Parkinsons, it's being 52."
Fox said he doesn't rule out having members of his own family come on the show. In fact, Pollan, has already shot a guest appearance for a future episode.

Sean Murphy/Associated Press
BINGER, Okla. � In the gently rolling hills of Oklahoma ranch country is a place that has seen more than its share of destructive weather � tornadoes, ice storms and floods, year after year, for half of the last decade.
In fact, Caddo County has been declared a federal disaster area nine times since 2007, making it one of the nation�s most ill-fated locations. But even here, farmers and ranchers say, no one has endured anything as crippling as the ongoing drought, which has dried out ponds, withered crops in the field and decimated the water table.
�It makes you become humble,� said Charlie Opitz, who began his farming career selling peanut seeds in 1959 and grew his operation to more than 2,500 acres near the small town of Binger, about 60 miles west of Oklahoma City. �You realize there�s something out there much greater than you are.�
Oklahomans know better than most Americans about the perils of bad weather. Their state practically blew away during the Dust Bowl of the 1930s, and they live in the heart of tornado alley � a wide corridor in the central United States where twisters are common.
Caddo County has endured all that and more. Its recent history reads like a storm chaser�s logbook or some punishment inflicted by a vengeful god.
The area was hit by no fewer than five federal disasters in 2007 alone, including ice storms, violent winds, tornadoes and flooding. Then the county suffered a disaster each year for the next four, including more tornadoes and flooding in 2008, a blizzard in 2009, another ice storm in 2010 and tornadoes and flooding again in 2011.
By comparison, the county suffered only five federal disasters during the entire decade of the 1990s.
Now comes the drought, a ceaseless dry spell that began last summer and could persist through much of 2013.
Rainfall totals for 2012 were more than 10 inches below normal, and the two-year total of 51 inches is the fourth-lowest since record keeping began in 1895, according to the Oklahoma Climatological Survey.
A few scattered showers have brought much-needed rain to the region in recent weeks, but the entire county remains locked in extreme drought conditions, according to the U.S. Drought Monitor, a government service.
Karen Krehbiel, who raises sheep and grows wheat and milo near Hinton, said her farm�s utility expenses more than doubled from about $15,000 in 2010 to $33,000 in 2012, mostly because of increased costs to irrigate parched fields. Sheep that traditionally would graze on pasture land must be fed hay, making the operation still more expensive.
�Because it was so hot and dry, even running irrigation all day, you couldn�t produce enough water,� said Krehbiel, who had to let 30 acres of alfalfa die in the field because she couldn�t afford to irrigate it.
A pond on Krehbiel�s property still hasn�t returned to normal since the 2007 flood burst a dam and sent the pond gushing downstream. And an apple, pear and peach orchard near her in-law�s home still bears the scars of an ice storm that took out dozens of trees.
Cattle rancher Scott Brower said the drought is easily the worst natural disaster he�s experienced.
Even during the ice storm, his ranch was calving 100 heifers. But the drought �gets old in a hurry,� he said, citing the challenge of hauling a thousand gallons of water at a time out to pasture.
Opitz said much of the land that he and his sons work is still recovering from the 2007 flood that sent the nearby Sugar Creek out of its banks.
�This whole valley was underwater, from hill to hill,� said Opitz, whose grandfather started a grain elevator in Binger in 1903.
The family had to buy a bulldozer to repair all the ponds that were washed away, and the fields where they grow wheat and other crops still have deep gulleys carved into them as a result of the flooding.
If the drought doesn�t break soon, valuable grazing grass could die.
�It will put several producers out of business,� Opitz said. �That�s not just speculation. That�s a fact.�
Across Oklahoma, the costs for various types of insurance � homeowners, automobile and crop � are going up because of the state�s proclivity for disasters.
The higher rates are �the result of the exposures that exist here,� said John Wiscaver, a spokesman for Oklahoma Farm Bureau Insurance.
As for Brower, he tries to stay upbeat and wait for relief that�s bound to come, eventually.
�You just do the best you can do every day and hope it gets better,� he said. �We�ll get some moisture sooner or later. It will be our turn.�

How to Talk to Children About School Shooting
Dec. 14, 2012 -- As the nation grieves over the horror of the school shooting in Connecticut, parents across the U.S. -- both in Newtown, Conn., and elsewhere -- are struggling with how to help their children through this tragedy.
WebMD talked to Leslie Garrard, PsyD, a child psychologist at Miami Children's Hospital, and Melissa Brymer, PhD, director of terrorism and disaster programs at the UCLA-Duke National Center for Child Traumatic Stress. We asked for their best suggestions on what parents and others can do now to help children cope.
Q: What reactions should parents and other caregivers in Newtown expect from the children who have gone through this tragedy?
A: Kids can have a wide range of reactions, Garrard says. "Any exposure to trauma can have immediate reactions and lasting effects. Parents need to be very [mindful] and watch their children."
"Some kids withdraw, some are dismissive, although internally they are scared. Some cry and some are outwardly terrified. Some become depressed. Some just kind of shut down. Some might have nightmares and re-experience the traumatic events. ... They may be fearful of leaving their parents."
Q: What reactions are typical from children who didn't go through it, but watched news coverage or heard details about the tragedy?
They can also have [the same range of] reactions -- maybe not as strong, but they can also be impacted, Garrard says. "When watching it and seeing it on TV, it's very scary."
The American Academy of Pediatrics President Thomas McInerny, MD, says in a statement that if possible, "young children should not be exposed to the extensive media coverage of the event -- in other words, turn off the TV, computer, and other media devices."
Q: Is this age -- elementary school -- a particularly difficult one to experience trauma?
A: Yes, according to Garrard, because it affects emotional development and the way we view the world -- whether it's safe or not. But "I think kids are very resilient. They can learn to maneuver the world and get through and past things. However, they do need a lot of care to get through things.''

Start Date: Dec 17, 2007
End Date: Dec 16, 2012
1.A. A trait-based index will be developed to relate pasture plant community composition (both species presence and abundance) to ecosystem function in grasslands. A multi-site field-plot trial will be conducted to test the hypothesis that mixed plant communities with greater species evenness produce more herbage and are more resistant to weed invasion than mixtures with lower evenness or monocultures. Science-based decision support tools will be developed for forage species selection within pastures and across farms to meet producer goals for ecosystem functions given the climate, landscape and soils. 1.B. Observational research will be conducted on pasture-based dairy farms feeding a range of supplementation strategies with varying pasture composition to characterize the effects of supplementation on grazing behavior and diet selection. Ingestive behavior will be quantified on during spring, summer, and fall grazing. Detailed feeding and milk production information will be collected from farm records and personal interviews. Continuous culture fermenters will be used to identify ruminal fermentation products that influence grazing patterns via post-ingestive feedback mechanisms. Sward-box studies will be used to evaluate cattle grazing behavior responses to monocultures and mixtures of selected grasses and legumes. 2A. Multi-location field plot and farm-scale trials will be conducted to determine the greenhouse gas emissions and economics of perennial and annual crops grown for bioenergy. Differences in C isotope discrimination (d13C) of C3 and C4 species will be exploited to partition respiration between new C respired from C3 plants such as orchardgrass and white clover and old C respired from the active pool of soil organic matter that has formed under the C4 species, big bluestem. 2B. Biomass yield, feedstock quality, and greenhouse gas emissions of current annual and proposed perennial bioenergy crops under the same climate and soil will be measured, and the resulting data will be used to validate the DAYCENT biogeochemical model at a site in the northeastern U.S.

North Carolina law officers are turning up the heat on video sweepstakes parlors.
More law enforcement agencies plan Monday to begin enforcing a state Supreme Court decision upholding a ban on video sweepstakes machines.
Guilford County Sheriff BJ Barnes says his agency will start enforcing the state law outlawing the machines now that operators who have stayed in business during the court process were given time to wind down. Barnes says any sweepstakes parlor operators remaining in business could be arrested and prosecuted.
Sweepstakes halls have cropped up because of what state Supreme Court justices called a loophole since video poker machines were outlawed in 2007. The court ruled in two cases last month that a 2010 law banning sweepstakes machines as gambling also regulates the act of playing.

UNITED NATIONS (AP) -- Iran is accusing the U.S. Navy of carrying out "illegal and provocative acts" in the Persian Gulf and Sea of Oman.
In identical letters to U.N. Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon and the Security Council, Iran's U.N. Ambassador Mohammad Khazaee said the Navy repeatedly violated the country's airspace.
He cited flights over the coastal areas of Bushehr on seven occasions in October and most recently a U.S. drone flight on Nov. 1 which disregarded all radio warnings and penetrated Iranian airspace.
The letters, circulated Friday, urged Ban to warn the U.S. "against the continuation of acts in violation of international law and of the adverse consequences of any provocative and dangerous acts for which the United States government would be held responsible."
The White House had no comment Friday night.
TORONTO (AP) -- Toronto police say they have recovered a massive cache of toys and donated goods worth about $2 million that were stolen from a Salvation Army warehouse and being sold for profit.
Police said Saturday that they had to use three tractor-trailers to haul the items, which were found a day earlier when officers searched a commercial warehouse in Brampton northwest of Toronto.
Police say they discovered 146 wooden platforms stacked with items including toys, baby cribs, strollers and food.
It's alleged that up to 100,000 items worth some $2 million were stolen from a Salvation Army warehouse in north-end Toronto over nearly two years.
The Toronto facility's executive director, David Rennie, has been fired. No criminal charges have been filed.
The Salvation Army says that it reaches 1.8 million Canadians in need every holiday season.
SPRINGFIELD, Mass (AP) -- Building inspectors say preliminary investigations show more than 40 buildings were damaged in a natural gas explosion in western Massachusetts that injured 18 people.
A strip club was flattened and a day care center was heavily damaged in the massive blast Friday night in Springfield.
Investigators are trying to figure out what caused the blast that could be heard for miles, left a large hole in the ground where the multistory brick building that housed the strip club once stood and scattered debris over several blocks.
Officials already had evacuated part of the entertainment district after responding to a gas leak and odor reported about an hour before the explosion.
Most of the injured were gas workers, firefighters and police officers.
Authorities have cordoned off the center of the explosion as building inspectors worked to identify unsafe structures. Preliminary reports show the blast damaged 42 buildings housing 115 residential units.
Three buildings were immediately condemned. Officials say 24 others require additional inspections by structural engineers to determine whether they're safe.
WASHINGTON (AP) -- Authorities say three maintenance workers were seriously injured after a fire broke out at the State Department headquarters in Washington.
D.C. Fire and EMS spokesman Lon Walls said the fire broke out at around 11 a.m. Saturday in the ductwork on the 7th floor. Workers were able to put out the fire before firefighters arrived, but three people suffered burns.
Walls said one person suffered life-threatening injuries and two others had serious but non-life-threatening injuries. All three were taken to Washington Hospital Center.
State Department spokeswoman Victoria Nuland said the fire broke out during routine maintenance to a mechanical area of the building. She said the building was briefly evacuated and then reopened.
ROMULUS, N.Y. (AP) -- Authorities say the seemingly accidental death of a New York man crushed by a pickup truck was no mishap: Four years later, his father has been charged with murdering him for insurance money.
Karl Karlsen was being held without bail Saturday in the Seneca County jail. He was arrested Friday.
His 23-year-old son, Levi, died in November 2008 while repairing a pickup truck on the family's property in Romulus, about 55 miles southwest of Syracuse.
The death was ruled accidental. But then the Seneca County sheriff's office learned this March about a life insurance policy on Levi Karlsen. It was taken out days before his death, with his father as sole beneficiary.
Immigrants struggle to cope in Sandy's aftermath
NEW YORK (AP) -- Superstorm Sandy has plunged many immigrants living illegally in the United States into darkness, and even deeper into the shadows.
Some who need help getting temporary housing and food are afraid to come forward because they risk deportation. Many have returned to damaged, powerless, moldy homes because they have no other place to stay.
Mexican immigrant Miguel Alarcon Morales says the smell of humidity and seawater has worsened his toddler's son asthma and he is becoming ill, too.
Because his children were born in the U.S., he can apply for help from the Federal Emergency Management Agency. Others who can't are turning to nonprofits and the Mexican consulate.
Advocates are stepping up their efforts to get help to immigrants in hard-hit areas, in some cases going to door to door.
NYC storm victims' homes looted over Thanksgiving
NEW YORK (AP) -- Some residents of a New York City neighborhood that suffered fire and flooding during Superstorm Sandy say thieves looted their damaged houses over Thanksgiving.
The New York Post reports that thieves struck at least three homes in the Breezy Point section of Queens.
One couple lost a $25,000 coin collection along with jewelry and watches.
The break-ins occurred Wednesday or Thursday when many residents were away for the holiday.
Robert Bainbridge says looters took $400 in two change jars. He says he's trying to repair his flooded home and the theft "adds insult to injury."
The Post reports that there were 14 home break-ins in Breezy Point from Nov. 12 to Nov. 18. There were none during the same period last year.
GLENDALE, Calif. (AP) -- It wasn't a typical jam up that slowed traffic Southern California's Glendale -- it was a runaway circus camel.
KCAL-TV reports that a camel escaped from Ramos Brothers Circus Friday and began galloping down Glendale Boulevard with handlers in hot pursuit.
The circus says that "Atula" was about to be taken into the circus ring for an exercise but for some reason decided to break free.
Handlers eventually caught up with the rambunctious animal and led her back to the big top, but not before the sight of the exotic beast brought traffic to a stop.
The station reports that the camel's trainers say she has never run away before.

MOUNTAIN VIEW -- Google has started a $100 million fund to invest in European startups, the beginning of what could become big-money investments for overseas entrepreneurs and lead to yet more acquisitions for the search giant.
The fund, which will be managed by Google Ventures, the company's venture capital arm, positions Google to influence the newest technology emerging from Europe and discover raw entrepreneurial talent in the region, say analysts. It is also a nod to the rising influence of European cities including London, Amsterdam, Stockholm and Dublin on the tech industry.
"It's just an acknowledgement that all the great entrepreneurs aren't necessarily in Silicon Valley, but they can be found all over the world," said Scott Strawn, an analyst with data and research firm IDC. "This is an acknowledgement that there is startup activity in Europe and it's worth putting a few dollars behind that in case anything materializes."
In a blog post, Bill Maris, managing partner at Google Ventures, wrote: "We believe Europe's startup scene has enormous potential. We've seen compelling new companies emerge from places like London, Paris, Berlin, the Nordic region and beyond -- SoundCloud, Spotify, Supercell and many others."
The three European tech companies mentioned in the blog post all now carry multibillion-dollar valuations and have a wide international user base, including U.S. consumers.
Maris described the fund, which will be managed out of a new office in London, as "initial funding" to "invest in the best ideas from the best European entrepreneurs."
Last year Google had nearly $60 billion in revenue and profits of almost $13 billion, and some analysts expect the fund will grow exponentially. Google Ventures provided more than $250 million into ride service Uber alone last year, and provides seed and growth-stage funding to more than 250 tech, science, health and consumer companies.
The European fund will aid Google's plan to acquire more overseas startups. In a written exchange last year with U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission regulators, Google said it is keeping a large portion of its cash outside the U.S. so it can use as much as $30 billion for possible acquisitions.
"It is reasonable to forecast that Google needs between $20 to $30 billion of foreign earnings to fund potential acquisitions of foreign targets and foreign technology rights from U.S. targets in 2013 and beyond," according to the letter.
Google did not respond to interview requests from this newspaper. The company last year spent a total of $1.19 billion to buy 19 startups and tech firms, trailing only Yahoo, which made 22 acquisitions, according to research and financial firm Privco.
Experts say the company may create additional funds to invest in other emerging tech regions, such as Southeast Asia and the Middle East.
"I would be very surprised if Google was not very actively looking for entrepreneurial talent all over the planet," Strawn said. They don't "necessarily innovate (with) ideas that come from internally."

Aside from the fact that Republicans were incapable of connecting with Latinos, African-Americans, women and millennials, the real reason they lost the election may well be because they believed the "fair and balanced" political, economic and social drivel emanating from Fox News.
Republican friends of mine who were as stunned as the leaders of their party all have one thing in common: They watch Fox News 24/7.
They are thus unaware of a recent University of Maryland study that concluded that the more people watched Fox News, the less informed they became. I hope Fox News keeps up the good work for years to come.

Sheriff wants to remove officers from city schools
Published: Tuesday, March 26, 2013 at 2:00 p.m.
Last Modified: Wednesday, March 27, 2013 at 9:56 a.m.
SARASOTA - In the school parking lot, the marked police car stands out by the buses and teachers' cars, a visible deterrent against crime.
Inside the building, the armed student resource officers play detective, look for drugs or get tips from students about problems in their neighborhoods.
That is why Sarasota County Schools Superintendent Lori White calls them one of the best ways to keep schools safe.
But the question becomes, who should pay them?
Sarasota County Sheriff Thomas Knight has told school officials he plans to remove the officers from middle and high schools within city limits in hopes the local city police departments will take over.
The change would occur on July 1.
"Be assured that this decision has been discussed with the city managers and police chiefs. They recognize the value of this shift and readily assume the responsibility," Knight wrote last week in a letter addressed to White.
Sheriff's Maj. Kevin Kenney, like his boss, stressed the tactical practicality of local control, especially during an emergency.
"During critical incidents, command and control issues are significant," Kenney said, adding that plans to withdraw the school resource officers have been considered for more than a year.
The move would primarily affect the five officers who cover Booker and Sarasota high schools and Brookside Middle School, all within Sarasota city limits, White said.
Between salary, benefits and other costs, the five positions cost roughly $500,000 per year — expenses that had been split between the school district and the Sheriff's Office, the superintendent said.
Venice High School has only one officer who would be affected because the city department already pays for one position while the school district and the Sheriff's Office share the cost of the other.
Already, Venice Police Chief Tom McNulty said Tuesday he plans to assign an additional officer to Venice High to replace the one missing next school year from the Sheriff's Office.
"Adding an additional officer to the high school will be a budget concern, but I'm sure the city council and city manager recognize that for the safety of the kids, the best thing would be another SRO," he said.
For school officials, the news comes as they prepare their 2013-14 budget. They have said they view safety as a top priority, but they also know the reality of a tough financial year ahead.
Last week, White proposed budget cuts that included closing Phoenix Academy to keep the district from draining its savings account to balance the general fund.
In Sarasota County Schools, two officers are at every high school and one is at every middle school.
There are not regular staffed officers at elementary schools, although officials beefed-up coverage following the Newtown, Conn., shootings.
White said the district is meeting with Venice and Sarasota police departments to plan for next school year.
"Safety is paramount," White said. "We have to work through it step-by-step to see what the possibilities are."

Koenen listens to the people
Dear fellow constituents and voters of state Senate District 17:
Tuesday, Aug. 14, is primary election day in Minnesota.
I am a moderately-conservative voter since 1974. I?have supported Republicans perhaps 70 to 75 percent of the time. However, this year in the primary I endorse Lyle Koenen in the state Senate race on the DFL ticket.
As a state Representative, Lyle voted "aye" on the Defense of Marriage Amendment. Lyle has experience in the state Legislature and he listens diligently to the people. He'll also explain the progress of the people's business at the St. Paul Capitol.
I consider Lyle Koenen to be a good friend. If you vote on the DFL ticket on Aug. 14, I highly recommend a vote for Lyle Koenen.
—Merlin L. Marlowe
Don't spread ignorance, hatred
I was very disappointed after reading your "Heaven Help the Home" segment, and after reading part 2, I am absolutely disgusted.
I would like to be shown the study that Mr. Runyan uses to support his "facts" about children in households with same-sex parents. If his only reason for saying this is a negative environment for children is that they will be more open to a same-sex relationship, then I don't see how this affects them in any sort of a negative way.
It's not the same-sex couples who are at fault for their children, or anyone's children, being unhappy or emotionally stunted, it's the people who condemn them for their lifestyle.
I cannot even begin to counter half of the opinions stated in the article because they were beyond hateful and ignorant. The church should spread messages that are conducive to peaceful and harmonious relationships and viewpoints. Reverend Runyan stated that legalizing gay marriage is like opening Pandora's box. That is absolutely false. Spreading hateful and bigoted opinions, on the other hand, most certainly will lead to more hatred and insanity.
In this article he compares gay marriage to pedophilia and beastiality. If I write an article comparing interracial marriages to people being allowed to marry their hamsters, will you publish that as well? Allowing someone to express views this hateful is absolutely not acceptable. It is hard enough for homosexuals to be accepted as it is; they absolutely do not need or deserve any added negative attention simply for being who they are.
Suicide rates in homosexual teens are rising at a very alarming rate and yet, instead of trying to comfort them, you publish an article comparing what they feel to being attracted to a young child or an animal. Homosexuality has existed as long as the world has, and homophobia is a complete backtrack on evolution and a detriment to world peace and acceptance of others.
Page 2 of 2 - On your site, one of your rules for comments asks that no one discriminates against anyone else because of their orientation. I would ask that you follow your own rules for your own articles. Please think before you spread ignorance and hatred.
—Cassie Wright
Vote 'no' on amendment
Polite society has traditionally avoided certain topics in conversation — politics, religion, sex — but this fall Minnesotans are being asked to amend our state constitution to provide that only a union of one man and one woman shall be valid or recognized as marriage in Minnesota.
Now we find ourselves needing to have polite conversations about issues we have often avoided. In honor of friends and relatives living in or wishing to one day live in a committed relationship and in memory of those who lived very difficult lives at a time when such a thing could not even be imagined, I will vote "no" in November. Please join me.

Road Paving on Non-County
Maintained Road
Not to Meet County Standards
December 8, 2008
Board of
Santa Rosa County
Dear Board of County Commissioners,
I/we the homeowner(s) on Quiet Street, request that a Municipal Service Benefit Unit (MSBU) be established for the purpose of paving Quiet Street in the Holley by the Sea development. We would like to have Quiet Street paved starting from Bird Whistle Street to Duck Bill Street. Quiet Street is a non-county maintained dirt road and I have contacted ABC Paving and Grading Company to provide a written rough cost estimate to pave our road. The rough cost estimate includes the cost of materials, labor, drainage work, and any other cost associated with the paving. Attached is the estimate.
It is our intention to have our road paved and not to meet County Standards and not be turned over to the county for road maintenance and drainage.
I will be the point of contact for all correspondence. I have received and understand the Program and Policies to establish an MSBU.
John Q. Public
Mr. John Q. Public
1234 Quiet Street
Navarre, FL 32566

Thanksgiving is quickly approaching, which means plenty of big meals are coming our way. If you're looking for a way to burn off those extra Thanksgiving feast calories, there are two holiday runs to sign-up for.
Participate in one of Wichita's oldest and most historic running events on Sunday, November 24. The 38th Annual Wichita Turkey Trot will include a two-mile and ten-mile option, which will take runners through a scenic route on paths along Exploration Place, Keeper of the Plains, the Arkansas River, Century II and Waterwalk.
The first 2,000 adults to register for the race will receive a Nike technical long-sleeved shirt. Participants will also receive refreshments, entertainment, awards, and other door prizes. Don't forget to bring an 18 oz. jar of peanut butter to give to the Kansas Foodbank (since this is also a holiday food drive).
On Thanksgiving morning, another run, Say Grace Thanksgiving Day 5K Race, will take place on Thursday, November 28 at 9:30 AM in downtown Wichita. This is GraceMed Health Clinic's 3rd annual run event, which raises funds to support the ministry of GraceMed.
If you're up for a challenge, you can register to do the 'Double Gobble,' which will enter you to race in both the Wichita Turkey Trot and Say Grace Thanksgiving 5K. The first 400 people to register in the Double Gobble will receive a custom race bib and metal.
To find out more on these runs, go to http://gracemed.org/saygracerace/double-gobble/

I will watch a show in Folder A, for example, so PMS has read the contents of the folder and determined which files have external subtitles. I then find that the next episode had been subtitled and download the new subtitle into Folder A. However, exiting the folder and re-entering will not force PMS to recognize the existance of the new external subtitle. Even the "Restart Server" button won't do it. The only way is to completely quit PMS and restart. Can the "Restart Server" button be configured to force recognition of new external subtitles as well?
And is it possible to have 2 "Alternative Subtitle" locations, perhaps separated by commas or semicolons? I realize this isn't MPC-HC, but I use that alot so my HD and DVD subtitle structure is based on that.

Our long-term research agenda is founded on our
strategic goals that inform program-specific research objectives. At the heart of our planning process is the need to balance the state of current research knowledge with the pressing needs of criminal justice practitioners and policymakers.
Each of our portfolios (e.g., policing, corrections, information technology, violence, victimization, forensics research) pursues a research agenda that incorporates several kinds of knowledge-building activities. The activities include basic and applied research questions, program evaluation needs, and opportunities to develop and test new interventions and strategies.
We have established strategic research goals that unite research across our portfolios. The broad goals are translated into specific research objectives within each program area. Together, these goals and objectives define our long-term research agenda.
Our overarching research goals for improving the justice system and preventing crime through research, development and evaluation are to:
Review NIJ's Strategic Goals.
The research objectives for each of NIJ's portfolios are determined by:
We regularly review and update the research objectives for each research portfolio using internal and external resources.
