Ready for a Scion FR-S Sedan?
Oh, Auto Express, we love your rumors and enthusiastic reporting on yet-to-be-produced vehicles and the unnamed sources who out them early.
While your stories are often outrageous and your journalistic qualities somewhat questionable, we have to admit you seem to have a knack for getting things right, or at least close to it.
So when I read your story that Toyota might consider building a sedan version of the rear-wheel-drive GT-86 sports car, my initial reaction was to say, "Yeah, right." But then I considered your track record and compared it with the fact that Toyota's head honcho, Akio Toyoda, has injected the brand with a healthy dose of fun and seems ready to try all sorts of new things.
And a RWD sports sedan would definitely be new.

Friday, March 29, 2013
ATHENS, Ga. (AP) -- A University of Georgia law school graduate has been selected to serve as a judicial clerk for U.S. Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas.
Andrew A. Pinson has been chosen to work for Thomas for the October 2013 term. The school says Pinson's appointment makes him the sixth UGA law graduate in nine years to be selected as a U.S. Supreme Court clerk.
Pinson graduated first in his class from the law school in 2011. He was the executive articles editor for the Georgia Law Review and was inducted into the Order of the Coif.
After graduation, Pinson served as a judicial clerk for Judge David B. Sentelle of the U.S. Court of Appeals for the D.C. Circuit. Pinson is currently an attorney with Jones Day in Washington, D.C.

A North Dakota man has been sentenced to prison in a home invasion and burglary in which a grandmother was pistol-whipped while two small children hid upstairs.
Michael Mario, of West Fargo, pleaded guilty Monday in Cass County Court to criminal conspiracy and burglary. A third charge of felony terrorizing was dropped.
Authorities say Mario and three others broke into the house in Chaffee, west of Fargo, in November.
The 34-year-old Mario was sentenced to two years in prison.
The Forum reports (http://bit.ly/X87hO0) that two other men, 21-year-old Levi Melby and 18-year-old Scott Senger, both of Fargo, have pleaded guilty in the case.

Man put on probation in 2011 shooting
Published: Thursday, May 2, 2013 at 3:30 a.m.
Last Modified: Wednesday, May 1, 2013 at 11:46 p.m.
A north Tuscaloosa County man will serve probation after pleading guilty to shooting at a man on a tractor in 2011.
James L. Christian, 53, was charged with attempted murder in November 2011 after investigators said he fired a shot at a 41-year-old man driving a tractor on Northside Road. He pleaded guilty Monday to a reduced charge of second-degree assault.
The victim told deputies that he was traveling west in the 11000 block of the road in the Windham Springs community around midnight on a Saturday when Christian pulled up alongside him, cracked the passenger-side window of his truck and fired the gun once. The victim jumped off the tractor and ran into the nearby woods.
Christian had hidden the gun and shell casing, former Tuscaloosa County Metro Homicide Unit commander Capt. Loyd Baker said at the time, but both were found.
In a plea agreement reached with prosecutors, Christian received a 10-year suspended sentence. He will serve five years of supervised probation and will be allowed to travel to Panama City Beach, Fla. this weekend.

The National Weather Service issued a red flag warning for the East Bay hills and the Diablo Range beginning Tuesday evening -- signaling an earlier start than normal to this year's fire season in the Bay Area, a local fire marshal said.
The warning, which took effect at 6 p.m. and runs through 6 p.m. Wednesday, signifies a higher risk for fire danger and more potential for larger fires in all areas of Alameda and Contra Costa counties above 1,000 feet and part of the East Santa Clara County hills.
Fire personnel were also posting "barbecue suspension" signs in parks throughout the region Tuesday evening, and CalFire has issued a statewide burning ban in areas throughout California.
Tuesday night's red flag warning comes as low humidity and strong winds blanket the East Bay and after an unseasonably dry April that has caused vegetation in the area to dry out quickly, said Fire Marshal Lewis Broschard of the Contra Costa County Fire District.
"This Red Flag Warning is fairly unusual because it's coming very early in the fire season," Broschard said. "This year is shaping up to be a long fire season."
Over the past several weeks, the fire district has responded to several fires caused by drying vegetation, he said.
Broschard said homeowners in Contra Costa County are getting notices to clear dry vegetation from their properties about a month earlier this year due to the dry weather this spring.
As temperatures heat up and the marine layer burns off, residents throughout the Bay Area are encouraged to take extra precautions to prevent fires.
In addition to cutting and clearing dry vegetation from homes, those safeguards include ensuring barbecues are kept away from dry grass or brush, completely dousing barbecue fires before leaving them and properly disposing of smoking materials.

PHILADELPHIA -- As expected, the Sharks will have Logan Couture and Raffi Torres back in the lineup Thursday night against the Phildelphia Flyers when they begin their stretch drive toward the NHL playoffs.
But Coach Todd McLellan is waiting at least another game to use their return to create the lines he thinks ultimately should give the Sharks their best shot at playoff success.
McLellan had been pointing out that the return of Couture would allow him to move Joe Pavelski back into a third-line role, giving San Jose added depth and scoring balance. But Pavelski will be skating alongside Joe Thornton and Brent Burns against Philadelphia.
"We talked about the fact that Joe Pavelski is one of the leading scorers in the NHL and he's one of the few consistent scorers we've had over the last little bit, give or take the last four or five games," McLellan said. "They were a line that really clicked for us. We have 23 games — a month and a half — to move people around, and we'll start this way. Who knows where we'll end up."
McLellan has Couture centering a second line with Patrick Marleau and Marty Havlat, while Torres will play at left wing alongside Andrew Desjardins and either Tyler Kennedy or Mike Brown. The other line will consist of Matt Nieto, Adam Burish and Tommy Wingels.
Backup Alex Stalock is getting the start against the Flyers. McLellan said that he will give Antti Niemi one more day to acclimate after returning from the Sochi Olympics, with Niemi scheduled to be in goal Friday night when the Sharks face the Buffalo Sabres.
McLellan again cautioned that while the team welcomes having both Couture and Torres in the lineup, it doesn't mean the task ahead automatically gets easier.
"It may even get tougher," he said, "trying to find a sense of unity on lines, reestablishing the work ethic, finding a sense of timing for those two players."
Couture said that he was excited to get back, the break has felt extra long because of the Olympic break and that it's usually tough getting his timing down in the first game back from an injury.
Still, he added, "I'm hoping that I can jump right in and everything will go well. We'll see."
Couture, who has missed the last 16 games, was San Jose's fourth leading scorer with 35 points when he underwent hand surgery. He occupies that same position when he returns.
Torres will be playing his first game this season after injuring his knee in an exhibition game.

If you've driven past any strawberry fields recently, you may have seen foreign workers helping with the harvest.
But one local farmer says the US Guest-Worker Program has room for improvement.
Migrant workers contend with a lot of red tape just to work here for six months. One farmer who's running for state office would like to see that change.
All summer long William Bell of Bell Farm Strawberry Patch relies on the fast fingers of ten Mexican workers.
While technology has come a long way in this world, there are still jobs that require a human hand. And these workers are fulfilling those jobs nationwide.
"We guarantee them so many hours a week at a certain amount of pay," Bell explains.
A program called H-2A gives guest workers non-immigrant visas good for six months. Both Bell and his employees sign the agreement.
But the legal tape they're required to go through is as red as the strawberries.
I-9 forms, resident alien numbers, copies of work permits and social security cards.
"We are required to accept the paperwork that they give us, even many times if we know it is false," Bell says.
It's why Bell, who's running for Commissioner of Agriculture, is pushing Congress to simplify the program.
"The government cannot require employers in this country to be the police force for their laws and legal actions."
While these migrant workers play a critical role filling the kinds of jobs so few Americans want to do, it is important that they're in our country legally.
And it is a problem.
In the last five years, four million unauthorized migrants have moved to the United States.

Eagle P&Z approves zoning for convenience storeA large change for the West Eagle neighborhood may be in store if the Eagle Town Board sides with the town's Planning and Zoning Commission and green-lights a zoning change to allow construction of a Kum & Go convenience store and gas station at the entry to Eagle Ranch.In a split vote, members of the Eagle Planning and Zoning Commission approved a zoning change for the project - from residential multi-family to commercial planned unit development - for the 4.6 acre property located on the southwest corner of the U.S. Highway 6/Sylvan Lake Road roundabout. The zone change request will be debated by the Eagle Town Board at its Tuesday, April 23 meeting.Developer Ryan Halder of Kum & Go has proposed a 5,000 square-foot convenience store at the site. Halder has proposed dedication of a 2.5-acre easement on the property to allow public access to Brush Creek. The northwest corner of the property would be landscaped as an entry to Eagle Ranch.While the town board is slated to take up the zoning issue on April 23, the planning commission will begin deliberations for the project's detailed development plan - the document that spells out landscaping, lighting, parking and entryway particulars - next week. Noting that the town board could nix the rezoning and thus kill the development proposal, planning commissioners initially opted to delay their consideration of the project until the town board had acted on the zoning issue. However, publication requirements bumped back the town board hearings and the developer has requested the planning commission proceed with its development permit hearing on April 16.Eagle town staff review for the project recommended denial of the zoning change, saying the proposal does not conform with the town's master plan.In particular, Town Planner Tom Boni questioned the proposed access to the convenience store as well as its gateway location. Boni said the applicant has completed a traffic study for the store entrance, but the town engineer has expressed ongoing concerns about traffic speeds and compatibility in the area."The staff is concerned that the nature of commercial development, particularly as a gas station and convenience store, presents obstacles to the creation of a community gateway to attract and inspire future development and redevelopment," wrote Boni in his recommendation memo.In general, Boni stated that "a better balance of conservation values can typically be achieved with a residential development than a commercial development" for the site.But members of the planning commission did not concur. In a 5-2 vote, they approved the zoning request and sent the matter on to the town board for consideration on April 23.

Frustrated in his previous attempts to buy a basketball team, Oracle CEO Larry Ellison is partnering with movie and music entrepreneur David Geffen and media mogul Oprah Winfrey for a possible shot at the L.A. Clippers if owner Donald Sterling has to sell the franchise because of his racist remarks.
Assuming the NBA's board of governors votes to force Sterling to sell the Clippers, Geffen told ESPN on Wednesday that he, Ellison and Winfrey would be interested in buying the team because "the team deserves a better group of owners who want to win."
Referring to Ellison, Geffen said, "Larry would sooner die than fail. I would sooner die than fail. Larry's a sportsman. We've talked about this for a long time. Between the three of us, we have a good shot."
Geffen, who reportedly failed to convince Sterling to sell him a controlling stake in the Clippers in 2010, said Winfrey isn't interested in running the team but she believes "it would be a great thing for an important black American" to own the franchise. He added that he and Ellison also would consider buying the Los Angeles Lakers, if it were for sale.
The Clippers team is valued at about $600 million. Ellison's net worth is $48 billion, Geffen's $6.1 billion and Winfrey's $2.9 billion, according to Forbes magazine.
Geffen's spokeswoman, Priscila Giraldo, said Geffen, Ellison and Winfrey "are all friends." Asked how much money each of the three might invest in the team or what share each might have if they bought it, she said, "I think that's premature."
Although Ellison's spokeswoman, Deborah Hellinger, declined to comment on the report, her boss has had a longtime interest in basketball.
Ellison's Redwood City software company signed a 10-year deal in 2006 to have Oracle's name on the Golden State Warriors' arena in Oakland, and he tried without success to buy the Warriors in 2010 and the New Orleans Hornets in 2011. Sources said he also had an interest last year in the Sacramento Kings, before that team was sold to an investment group headed by Vivek Ranadive, a former Warriors executive who is CEO of Palo Alto's Tibco Software.
After Sterling was tape recorded admonishing his girlfriend for being seen in public with blacks, NBA Commissioner Adam Silver on Tuesday fined him $2.5 million, banned him from the league for life and said he'd seek to force Sterling to sell the Clippers. But even if the team is put on the block, there is no guarantee it would wind up with Ellison, Geffen and Winfrey.
Others interested in the Clippers reportedly include former basketball star Magic Johnson, actor Matt Damon, music producer Sean Combs, real-estate developer Rick Caruso, biotech investor Patrick Soon-Shiong and boxers Floyd Mayweather Jr. and Oscar De La Hoya.

Summit High's young hockey team has spent the last three weeks upping the ante to become the "bigger, faster, stronger" high school players they need to be now that they've moved on from the club game. "We're focusing on getting the younger players to understand what the next level is about and the speed of the game," head coach Chris Ruhly said. He expects the teaching and learning to continue through the first half of the season, which is mostly comprised of non-conference games. Those games, like the one against last year's final four contender Chatfield that kicks off the season on the road Friday, will be barometers of the team's in-league performance for the rest of the season."These young guys are going to have to learn and learn quickly. They're going to be thrown into fire," Ruhly said. Particularly since last year was the first time in Ruhly's eight years with the team that it hasn't gone to the state playoffs. And this year's seniors are hungering for postseason play again now that they know what it's like to go without. "We don't have the talent and upperclassman depth we once did," senior captain Sean Farley said, but he hopes that doesn't stop the team's quest for success. "To win a lot of games, we have to play hard and not make mistakes. ... We have to play hard every shift." Farley and fellow seniors Peter Grotemeyer, Blake Horan and Travis Potts will take on leadership roles for the team as well as the brunt of the playing time. Farley, Grotemeyer and Horan have been on the team since their freshman year and are primed to take on the workload. In addition, he's looking at Finnish exchange student and team newcomer Simo Korpela to strengthen the squad, more than half of which is freshmen and sophomores. Perhaps there's not depth in the upperclassman talent pool, but the team has numbers to back up the starters. Farley and Ruhly see it as their challenge to turn the sophomores who didn't see a lot of playing time last year into reliable players, and groom the freshmen into the team's future. Last year's record was a nearly even 9-10, which Farley and Ruhly both hope to improve upon. "Every day is growth; every day is improvement," Ruhly said. He wasn't willing to elaborate for fear of cluing in the competition, but Ruhly said he has system tweaks in mind for the new team. All he was willing to say is that the offense will have more freedom while the defense excercises control and discipline. "We're going to surprise some teams in the league," Ruhly said, adding, "Maybe we'll fly under the radar" until other teams realize Summit's lost talent just might be able to be replaced. After a bout with Chatfield on Friday, Summit faces off Saturday against rival Battle Mountain, with the Shrine Pass trophy at stake. Summit regained the trophy about five years ago after Battle Mountain held it for years. "Hopefully, we'll keep it on this side of the pass," Ruhly said. Chatfield and Battle Mountain aren't the only stiff competition in the Foothills division. Regis Jesuit is the two-year defending state champion, and Ralston Valley brings a strong game to the ice. "I think we're in a stronger conference (than the Peaks Conference)," Ruhly said. "We're up to the task. I'd rather be playing a stronger conference."

OAKLAND -- Raiders offensive coordinator Greg Knapp is too busy trying to score touchdowns to listen to critics.
"I've been in this business long enough to know if you're not winning, or if you're not moving the ball or scoring points, you're going to get criticized," Knapp said. "I was in San Francisco for nine years when they were finishing up the run of five Super Bowls.
"Even then, when they were winning, you couldn't win well enough. There's always going to be criticism. That's part of the job."
By any statistical measure, the Raiders (3-10) have regressed on offense in 2012.
Going into their game against the Kansas City Chiefs (2-11) at O.co Coliseum on Sunday, scoring is down to 19.1 points per game after averaging 22.4 in 2011 and 25.6 in 2010 with Hue Jackson running the offense.
After scoring 37 offensive touchdowns in 2010 and 36 in 2011, the Raiders have 25 touchdowns in 13 games this season. With three rushing touchdowns, the Raiders are ranked last in the NFL. In 2010 and 2011, the Raiders had 35 rushing touchdowns in 32 games.
Coach Dennis Allen, who hired Knapp to overhaul the offense from one with a power-based running game with drop-back passing to a West Coast scheme with a moving pocket and zone blocking, said he has no regrets.
"There's been a lot of change, and when there is a lot of change, sometimes you don't get the results you're looking for right away," Allen said. "But when you believe in something and you stick to it and know it's the right plan, it ends up working out."
Allen would get an argument from the fan base on social media, with Knapp rating as public enemy No. 1 on Facebook and Twitter.
The prevailing opinion among the fan base is that the Raiders switched from an offensive system that worked reasonably well to one that doesn't necessarily suit the talent on the roster.
"I'm a firm believer in the scheme," Knapp said. "I've been to too many places and had too much experience to (not) know it's a productive scheme ... you'd much rather have a coach come in and teach what he knows best than have someone try and teach a system that he doesn't know at all."
Knapp said position changes and injuries have played a role in the offensive difficulties. Stefen Wisniewski missed much of training camp with a calf injury and moved from left guard to center. Right guard Cooper Carlisle moved to left guard to make way for free agent Mike Briesel, and Khalif Barnes was replaced by Willie Smith for seven games because of a groin injury.
Running back Darren McFadden and backup Mike Goodson each missed four games with high ankle sprains. Returning wide receivers had to learn a new system and were joined by rookies Juron Criner and Rod Streater.
"If you take a business structure and you make those changes, it's going to take a year's time to process everything and learn it," Knapp said. "Once they master it, you can add to it. Right now, it's taking some time."
The Raiders are ranked 30th in rushing at 81.2 yards per game, but their run blocking has improved, with backs averaging 4.5 yards per carry in the past four games.
"I'm very pleased with the fact that we're the top 10 in passing and we've improved in the running game the last six weeks," Knapp said. "We're not where we need to be in scoring points. That's what I'd like to get better at, finishing drives and getting more big plays for touchdowns."

Happy Presidents Day!
In honor of the occasion, I have decided to create a playlist of songs about U.S. presidents. Some of these mention specific presidents by name, while others are more veiled and vague in the lyrics.
Also, some of the songs are favorable toward their subject. Others? Not so much.
Please note that these songs do not necessarily reflect the political views of the list-maker. I just picked them — I didn't write them.
Top 5 Presidential Songs:
"Abraham, Martin and John," Marvin Gaye -- It's a powerful tribute to Abraham Lincoln, Martin Luther King Jr. and John Kennedy (as well as Robert Kennedy). It was first recorded by Dion, but the definitive version belonged to Gaye.
"Old Mother Reagan," Violent Femmes -- Vocalist Gordan Gano makes his point in 30 seconds. Surprisingly, it never started a trend where all protest songs would clock in at roughly half a minute.
"James K. Polk," They Might Be Giants -- Finally, our 11th president gets his due!
"If Reagan Played Disco," the Minutemen -- You mean he didn't? I could totally have pictured him rocking a little Bee Gees now and again.
"Funky President (People It's Bad)," James Brown -- The Godfather of Soul gets funky, at the expense of Gerald Ford.

STOCKTON – The driver of a black Ford Bronco with older blue license plates repeatedly attempted to ram into a man's car on Harding Way near California Street around 6:30 p.m. Tuesday before stopping his vehicle, blocking all traffic, getting out and threatening the other driver, police reported.
The Bronco driver, who was unknown to the victim, then began banging on the victim's car windows while yelling he was going to "shoot up his house." He then returned to his Bronco and drove off, according to a report.
The driver, described as a 20-to-22-year-old white man with brown eyes and hair standing 5 feet 6 inches, weighing 130 pounds and last seen wearing a red hat, black tank top and dark pants, is being sought by police on suspicion of assault with a deadly weapon.

Drug law overreach
Don't let prescription-abuse bills pre-empt local ordinances
Published: Tuesday, April 9, 2013 at 1:00 a.m.
Last Modified: Monday, April 8, 2013 at 7:42 p.m.
The Florida Legislature is considering bills that would improve state laws aimed at curbing prescription drug abuse. Many of the proposed changes are worthwhile and welcome, but they should not come at the expense of local ordinances that currently and successfully target prescription abuse.
A state Senate bill (CS/SB 1192) and a similar House version (CS/HB 831) would, among other things:
• Require physicians to check the state's prescription drug database before prescribing powerful painkillers and other commonly abused drugs.
• Reduce, from seven to two days, the time in which pharmacists and others must report to the database the dispensing of a controlled substance.
• Remove a statutory prohibition against using grants from pharmaceutical companies to fund the database operation.
All these proposals would improve the laws governing the use and operation of the drug database, which even with its limitations, has helped Florida combat the deadly serious problem of prescription abuse.
Progress against 'pill mills'
Before the database was launched in 2011, Florida became known as America's "pill mill capital" -- a place where loose or non-existent regulations let illicit pain clinics and unscrupulous doctors overprescribe oxycodone and other powerful medications to drug dealers and addicts. Prescription drug abuse killed an average of seven Floridians a day.
Today, thanks in part to the database and other steps taken by the state, the number of Floridians killed by prescription drugs is in decline; the Florida doctors listed by the U.S. Drug Enforcement Administration as top buyers of oxycodone have plunged from 90 in 2010 to zero today; and doctors accused of overprescribing are in prison, on probation or facing criminal charges.
Yet, the state is not solely responsible for the progress in the fight against prescription drug abuse. Several Florida communities, including Sarasota and Manatee counties, have passed and enforced ordinances aimed at curtailing "pill mills."
Sarasota County enacted two such ordinances in June 2011 -- after 30 revisions and four public hearings. Since then, the number of pain clinics operating in the county has dropped from 33 to 17, according to Sheriff Tom Knight. The number of prescription drug-related deaths declined by 15 percent.
Doctor-shopping arrests and prescription-fraud cases in the county have increased, Knight said in a letter to legislators, while crimes such as burglary, robbery and theft -- often linked to drug addiction -- have decreased sharply.
Yet, even though ordinances like Sarasota County's have contributed greatly to the struggle against prescription abuse, the legislation now under consideration puts those local laws in jeopardy.
The bills contain provisions or language that would pre-empt or weaken the local ordinances governing pain clinics -- even if the local laws contain stricter regulations and requirements.
Knight's fight
Knight, who has made combating prescription-drug abuse a top priority since becoming sheriff in 2009, has urged legislators not to include pre-emption clauses in the pending bills. He is expected testify in Tallahassee today at committee hearings on the House and Senate legislation.
This fight should not be Knight's alone. We urge other elected officials and the public in general to contact local legislators and legislative leaders in Tallahassee.
Urge them to enact, by all means, improvements to state laws targeting prescription-drug abuse.
But tell them to leave out any language that would pre-empt or weaken local ordinances that have the same purpose and have a proven record of success.

Cen tral Michigan University Board of Trustees
Special Meeting August 15, 1984
Mt . Pleasant, Mi c hLgan
Members present: Mr. Alfred J. Porti no, Chair;
Dr . Be r nadine N. Denning; Mr. Raymond A. LABounty;
Dr. Go rdon N. Lambie; Ms. Rachael E. Moreno; Mr. William C.
Odykirk ; Mrs . Allee Tomboul1an; Dr . Harold Abel , President .
Member s absent: Mrs . Ma rgaret Ann Rtecker.
Also attendi ng: Dr. John E. Cantelon. Provost; Mr. Arthur E.
El11s, Vice President tor Public Affairs; Mr . James L. Hill ,
Vice President for Student Affairs; Mr. Ri chard L. Miller,
Secretary to the Board of Trustees; Mr . Je rry R. Tubbs,
Treasurer of t he Board of Tru s tees and Vice President tor
Busi ness and Plna nce .
The Chair o pened the meeting at 3:30 p . m. noting that this
specia l meeting of the Board of Trustees had been convened by
Mr. Raymond LaBounty, Dr . Go rdon Lambie, Ms . Rachael Mo ren o ,
Mr. Will iam Odykirk and himself (a copy of the meeting notice
is at t ached) . The subject of the meeting, he reported, is a
review of the ci r cums tances of the vetoes of app r opri ations
for the CW U- M~I affiliation a nd for the lET Building .
Mr. Po rti no said that barring objections the meeting would be
an open forum and questions would be entertained f r om a ny
Mr. Odykirk noted that he had requested this special meeting
to discuss the line item veto of the MMI and of the l ET
Building . He sa id furthe r that the meeting was ca lled with
the assurance that at least si~ Trustees could participate.
He then asked how the veto of the MMI approp riation had
happened and whether there was a chance of saving MMJ .
Mr. Portino said that the veto by the Governor came as a
su rpr ise and shock to everyone . He reported that the
President had gone to Ann Arbor to attend the signing o f the
a ppropriations btll and on l y minutes after arriving there was
told that the Governor had ve t oed this pr oject . Mr. Fortino
th en directed the Board's attent ion t o a letter from
Mr . Robert Hefner dated August 10 , 1984. He said further that
no one in the University administration had any idea that the
MMI appropriation would be vetoed .
Ms . Moreno then inquired as to the sequence of events leading
up to the veto. Once the MMJ was proposed, how was the
initial contact made in Lansing? What was the nature of
ongoing negotiations and process from the initial contact
through the presentlltLon to the Board? What were the
communications that gave the administration assurances that
the MMt appropriations would be approved?
President Abel responded that there were two legislative aides
in attendance and that they could report on contacts in
Lansing .
Mr. Miller reported that he had first contacted legislators in
Lansing regarding the MMf in January 1984. He said that he
had talked with several legislators at that time to let them
know that the University was in the process of negotiating
.ith the MMI for some sort of merger of the two institutions .
He said he gave legislators as much information as he had at
the time and informed them that negotiations might not be far
enough along by budget hearing time to present something
concrete. lie reported further that the purpose of his visits
with legislators was to fami liarize them with the negotia_
tions so that they would not be caught by surprlse if the
matter came up at the budget hearing .
Mr . Ellis sald that shortly after these early contacts we
ente red into the time frame of the recall elections and the
reorganization of the Senate . The CMU House budget hearing
was on ~ar ch 6. At that hearing in the routine walking
through we included as an item in ou r b\ldget presentation Iln
update on the MMI proposal. Mr . Hefner accompanied the
University officials . The meeting was chai red by
Representative Hood. It was an informational presentation at
that point and the President alerted the commi ttee that we
would be asking for money later.
In response to Ms . ~ oreno ' s question as to whether any dollar
figures were mentioned Mr. Ellis said that $750,000 was
mentioned as a range of funding . Dr. Cantelon added that CMU
had asked for $4 . 2 million over the next five years with
$:150,000 of 1 t for 1984.
Mr. LaBounty noted that the Board had never seen nor been
privy to any r equest tor funding the M~I project .
Or . Abel snld that the $350,000 fi!;ure was determin<>d by negotiations,
as we were seekIng as m~ch as wp could get over a
three_year period with the aid of the thr~e major foundations .
The figures were $350,000 the Hrst year, $700,000 the second
year and $1,050,000 for each of the fInal three years. These
figures were changed as a result ot a ca ll from the Chairman
o f th~ Senate Appropriations Subcommittee offe ring to revise
the fIve_year schedule to $600,000 each for the first t.o
years and $1,000,000 each year for thp last three .
Dr . Lambie inquired whether there had been any legtimate contact
with the Governor's Office d\lring that period .
Dr . Abel responded that he and Dr. Cantelon, along with
President Stein and ~r. Hefner, had met with Robert Naftaly,
Director of the Department of Management and Budget, and had
explained the project to him in April. Mr. Naftaly appreciated
the background information . Mr. ElliS added that he
had passed on background information also to a s taff member in
The Chair then suggested that the Board has to move with some
kind of strategy and urKed the Board to give the administration
some guidance before conclusion of the meeting.
Nr . LaBounty asked to see the Budget Request in the form tn
which it was submitted to the State, as the Board was not
involved and did not see it . He expressed conce rn that
political processes took precedence over normal University
processes for approving new programs.
Ms . Moreno observed that it was paradoxical that Board members
were asking questions about the quality of the MMI, the type
of faculty, academic processes, etc . and that not all of the
questions were received in a positive sense by the administration
Mr . LaBounty asked it it were not true that at a time when we
could not tell our Chemistry faculty what the degree would be,
we had a PRR pending for a Polymer Science degree? How did it
get in the PRR?
Dr . Abel said the PRR language employed a generic term and,
since polymer science is the more general term, it was used at
a time when the task force was still working out the terms of
the degree .
Ur . Odykirk said that at a r ecen t meeting of the MAGR a representative
of the Governor ' s Commission made it clear there
would be no appropriations until the Commission issued its
final report. The vetoes, therefore , were not surprising .
Mr. Fortino said that he took the Governor at his word. The
veto was 01 appropriation. not of the project itself.
Although we can understand the veto, what we don't have is an
appropriation for this year . We don't know what the
Commission will r eport and d on't know anything that will
happen in the future .
We want to go ahead and try t o keep everyone informed in
Lansing because we f eel we are on the right tra c k. Do we now
set on our hands or con tinue to 'Mo rk on this project?
Or . Abel said that with r egard to ci rcumstances surrounding
the veto it was in hindsight a tactical e rro r o n our part to
have the JoINr appropriation listed as a line item . If the MMI
money had been i nc luded in ou r lump sum appropriation it would
not have been vetoed. He repo rted further that he had
received an invitation on July 20 t o atte nd the Gove rn o r's
signi ng of the appropriation btll on August 21 in Ann Arbor.
At that time funding had been approved by a majority 1n both
houses . lie went to Ann Arbor for the signing and learned of
the veto shortly before the signlng was to take place. In a
private discussion with ~r. Naftaly at that time , Dr . Abel
said , ~r . Nafta1y informed hlm that the decision to veto was
reached very late the night before and for this reason it had
been impossible to so inform him earlier . The Pr esident
r e po rted also that , Since the veto, he ha s written the
Gove rno r reques ting a meeting to provide additional informa_
tion on the benefits of the CMU-MM I affiliation.
Ms . Mo reno said that it is unpalatable to make requests
withou t appropriate planning and discussion t o have the plan
approved .
Mr. LaBounty said it i s the process that is importan t. The
extra $600,000 is not the key. I t is that action is taken
befor e coming to the Board . The President agreed.
Ms . Moreno inquired whether , given the approval of the
affi liation by both CNU and MYI, there had becn any activity
by the ta sk force on the degree, whethe r any staff have been
identified or of fered positions in the MMI and whether the
development of the degree prog ram had c hanged at this
j unct ure.
Dr . Cantelon responded that the Graduate Dean would r e port o n
the progress ot the task fo r ce at the September Board meeting .
tie said the task force has been doing an excellen t job and
has learned a l ot about polymer science .
• •
Ms. Moreno asked if CMU had employed anyone specifically for
the MNI ope ration . Dr .Cantelon reported that no one had been
hired, but that he had Interviewed four candidates f o r the
poSition of Director .
The President reported that the Governor's Chief of Staff
informed him that MMI was vetoed because they had to await the
report of the Governor ' s Commission before moving ahead and
that the merge r is still an open question.
Returnin~ to an ear lier question Dr . Cantelon explai ned that
Dr. David Murphy had been hired as Assistant Vice Provost on a
temporary one-yea r appointment to assist in the integration of
MMI into the state system and to wo rk with the Cadillac
Mr . Fortino then offered the following resolution:
Resolved: The MMI baving approached CMU a lew months
ago to enter into an agreement whereby the two
institutions would continue to expand the work of
this institute in polymer chemistry with the end in
view of creating in Michigan a sound academic
setting for the general field of polymers and at
the same time promoting the advancement ot the
industri~l aspects of polymer chemistry; and
The two institutions having signed aagreements to
carry forward this program because it was felt that
it was an implementation of the announced objectives
of the State to utilize its academic community
to foster new industry in the State; and
It appearing that the Legislature , through the
supportive action of both the House and Senate , has
viewed the prog r am 1n the same light;
However , it appearing that the Office of the
Governor is hesitant to provide funds at this time
because the Commission on Higher Education bas not
yet reported its recommendations;
It is the declared purpose of the Board of Trustees
thtlt llie Presldent and Administrlltion continue in
efforts lO effectuate t he program agreed upon by
CMU and MMI and that the following actions be
A. Explore with MMI new conditions which will pe rmit
us to go forward while we await the Commission
' s r eport, di scuss ing new time frames and
continued pursuit of NSF and other funding.
B. Establish comm unications with the Gove rnor' s
office to keep them advised of our progress and
to conv i nce them of our ability to consummate
the program .
C. Pursue other sources of funding (other than
Stat.e) .
D. Continue studies now under way in the
University t o prepare a doc t oral program in
polyme r sciences, giving the Board of Trustees
information as to academic studies , costs, need
and feasibi lity.
E. Report back to the Board of Trustees as to all
of these matters and the Board will then
authorize the Pr esident to confer with the
Governor's office as well as with the
Legislatu re to see i f we can proceed with the
coope ration of the State .
F. Meanwhile , we have proceeded in acco rdance with
our constitutional prerogatives and responsi_
bilities to guide the academic development of
the University and the general welfare of the
State and those prerogatives and duties compel
us t o continue with this program.
Mr. Fortino explained that there were no general fund dollars
involved in the resolution he had proposed. The intent 15
that we cannot stop what we have already approved . Ie must go
on and show higher education and the Governor that this is a
wo rthwhile venture.
Dr. Abel said there is l ikely to be a supplemental alloca _
tion . Forward funding may be r estored in a lump or periodic
sum. Private tunding is also a possibility, or wait a year
and request state support again.
Ms . Noreno said that if the forward funding is restored , first
priority must go to e xi st ing programs betore the restoration
goes to IoIMt .
• •
Mrs. Tomboul!an observed that it is not co rrect to think of
the MMI attll1ation as a "growth" of C!.tU . We are talking
about a highly specialized program.
Mr . LaBounty asked the Provost if it were not unusual to
c reate a new Assistant Vice Provost position and fill it with
a one-year appointment . Shouldn't affirmative action guidelines
be followed? Shouldn't the appointment have Board
approval? Dr . Cantelon said that the Murphy appointment was
really a target of opportunity . Dr. Murphy has a doctorate in
educational administration, several years' experience in
higher education budgeting in the Fi scal Agen cy and experience
as head of the COmmunity College ASSociation. Since this is a
one-year inter im appointment, it does not violate affirmative
actlon procedures .
The Chair asked the Board to turn its attention to the
resolution .
MS. Moreno said she was not sure she would vote to support the
resolution because it addressed steps in the planning process
that were six months overdue. The vetoed $600,000 was a small
part of the whole state appropriation that was of benetit to
the University . MYI would have been enhanced more by a more
gracious r esponse to the veto.
Dr . Lambie otfered several tocusing questions. Where are we
now with regard to M~I? Where are we going? What is our
timetable? How does the NMI react t o all of this?
The Chai r asked it it is the consensus that we will proceed
with the understanding that no money will be taken from
internal programs to fund MMI? There was no objection to the
Chai r's statement of consensus nor to his stated intent to
discuss this matter further at the September Board meeting.
Dr . Abel said that the Board had made it clear that there will
be no part of the appropriation money used for MMI. We must
look for other sources of funding. It may be possible to
raise money outside or there may be a supplemental appropriation
or perhaps MY1 can operate temporarily without
additional money .
The President then reported briefly on the veto at appropriations
for the lET Building . He said that every appropriation
for higher education capltal outlay had been vetoed and that
the lET was not slngled out. The reason tor the veto was the
Governor's wish to await the report of hls commission before
approving any new cap ltal outlay projects .
It was moved by Dr. Denn ing , seconded by
car r ied. that the meetin& be a djour ned.
t he meeting at 5:50 p .m.

Chicken, Spinach and Cannellini Bean Quesadillas
We're not slouching on flavor here though folks. This recipe started out as a quesadilla filling and did indeed become that for hubby, but I enjoyed it as is, mounded in a bowl with a hefty dose of freshly cracked black pepper.
First some basics on the chicken. You can use any type of cooked chicken you can get your hands on, but I prefer to take a package of skinless, boneless chicken breasts (a little over two pounds this time) and poach it in some boiling, salted water for about 20 minutes. I remove the breasts from the boiling pot to a cutting board and tent them with foil to keep them moist while they cool for a bit. Then I dice them and season them with a generous handful of Montreal grill seasoning. I use what I need for the specific recipe I'm making, and then I freeze the rest in one cup portions for future quick-fix meals.
Cannellini beans remind me of potatoes. They're so creamy and blend so well with other flavors and textures. You can sub in great northern or black beans for this recipe if you desire, but you'll forfeit a bit of the creaminess factor.
Chicken, Spinach And Cannellini Bean Quesadillas
1 1/2 -2 cups seasoned, cooked and diced chicken breast meat
1 TBSP olive oil
1 cup diced onion
1 cup diced red bell pepper
1 banana pepper, diced
a pinch of crushed red pepper flakes
salt and pepper
1 clove garlic, minced
1 (heaping) TBSP all purpose flour
3/4 cup chicken broth
4 cups fresh baby spinach, stems removed, coarsely chopped
1 (15.5 ounce) can of cannellini beans, drained and rinsed
Cooking spray
Flour tortillas
Shredded cheese (Monterey Jack, cheddar or a combination of the two works well here)
Avocados, diced
Fat free sour cream
In a large skillet heat olive oil over medium-high heat. Add onion, red bell pepper and banana peppers. Season with the crushed red pepper flakes and salt and pepper. Saute until veggies have softened, 6-8 minutes. Add the garlic and saute for another minute or two. Sprinkle the flour over the veggies and stir to combine. Cook while stirring for several minutes so that the flour loses its raw taste. Whisk in the chicken broth and stir until bubbly and smooth. Add the baby spinach and continue cooking for another minute or two or until spinach has wilted. Stir in the cooked chicken and cannellini beans and remove from heat.
Spray a large skillet or griddle with cooking spray. Heat over medium to medium-high heat. Place one tortilla on griddle and spread cheese over tortilla. Spread chicken, bean and spinach mixture over one half of the tortilla. Check underside of tortilla and when browned a bit, flip the half with just cheese over the half with the chicken. Remove from heat and cut into slices. Top with diced avocado and sour cream, if desired.

suzanne: I'm terrible about listing how many servings my recipes make. I'm sorry. There are so many variables here, and depending on what size tortilla you use, your results may vary. I'm going to guess that this would make 6 servings.

The secrete to making Quesadillas look this way is by putting a thin layer of mayo on the outside of the tortilla and then brown in Skillet with a lite spray of oil.

Have you tried to make the filling ahead of time, and stick it in the fridge or anything? Just wondered if that would keep okay, I probably wouldn't use all of the filling in one night. Thanks!! :)

How about posting nutritional info with these recipes. It would be helpful to those who are counting. Thanks
- February 25, 2013 at 6:58 PM
I made these for dinner tonight and they were VERY tasty! I am keeping this recipe.
I made 9 quesadillas with about half the bean/chicken filling. Also, I shredded blocks of Monterey Jack & Mild Cheddar in my food processor and that really helped too (sorry but much tastier than the stuff pre-shredded in the bags). We're having leftovers tomorrow night!!
Any time I can get two dinners out of the work of one, I am pretty psyched.

Made this last night and I loved it! My husband ate 2 gigantic quesadillas (I got the 8" ones) and my 8yo daughter had half of one and asked for more in her lunch today. I ate leftovers here at work cold from the fridge and they were still fab. I was thinking sauteed mushrooms would be a great addition to these, but maybe separately or if you had some leftover so you don't add too much liquid to the veggies. I also used a mix of bell peppers (but not the evil green ones). And I used 3 different kinds of cheese I had on hand, including Mexican mix, sharp cheddar and then mozzarella, and they were all good. Thank so much for this recipe!

Tajikistan Unfriends Facebook
MOSCOW—The head of Tajikistan's Office of Telecommunications said Tuesday that his agency ordered Internet service providers to block access to the social networking site after receiving numerous complaints from the public over "slanderous" content about the country's president posted on the site.
"I received many calls from citizens of Tajikistan asking me to shut down this Facebook a hotbed of slander. Unknown people there insult the leaders of the state. They are apparently being paid well for that," Beg Zukhorov said during a press briefing in the Tajik capital of Dushanbe, Russian state news agency RIA-Novosti reported.
Service providers in this Central Asian republic were informed Monday to block service to Facebook and by the end of the day the country's six Internet companies and six mobile phone carriers had followed through, affecting a blanket ban on the site. Mr. Zukhorov said his office has since been flooded with calls of support from citizens of the impoverished country of 7.5 million people.
"My phone has literally exploded with calls from grateful citizens who happily greeted the news of the closure of the site, and only a few will see this as a negative step," he said.
Mr. Zukhorov said he would be happy to discuss the decision personally with Facebook founder Mark Zuckerberg if the billionaire tech guru comes to agency's office in Dushanbe.
"Does Facebook have an owner? I'd like to speak to him. Let him come to Tajikistan. I will meet with him during office hours," he said.
The head of Facebook in Russia, Ekaterina Skorobogatova, said the company was aware of the situation but had no immediate response. The company's Russian office oversees operations in Tajikistan.
"Right now we are not taking any active action (in the region)," she said through a spokeswoman.
It's not the first time Tajikistan has barred access to Facebook. In March, it was knocked offline in the country for 10 days after an article critical of Tajik President Imomali Rakhmon appeared on the site. Other sites that have been intermittently blocked in Tajikistan in the past include YouTube, the BBC's Russian language service, Russian state news agency RIA-Novosti as well as numerous Tajik news sites.
Mr. Rakhmon, who has ruled the country since 1992, faces an election next year. During his reign, Tajikistan—which is sandwiched between Afghanistan, China, Kyrgyzstan and Uzbekistan—has come under heavy criticism from international rights organizations for alleged media intimidation, rigged courts and unfair elections.
Some 41,000 Tajiks use Facebook, up 26% in the last six months, but making up just 0.55% of the population, according to social media statistical monitoring site Socialbakers.com. That places it in 168th place in the world by number of Facebook users, one ahead of Saint Vincent and the Grenadines and just behind Djibouti. By comparison, the United States is No. 1 with 168.5 million users, and 54.3% market saturation and Russia is 29th with 7.5 million users and 5.4% penetration of the population.

First of all, I am totally aware I missed the boat on Twilight fandom. And I'm okay with that. I just thought I'd post because I know there are still some fans hanging out there in cyberspace and I'd like to meet you.
How did you pick your screen name?
It's a Labyrinth reference. "I move the stars for no one."
How did you come to read Twilight and which book is your favorite?
I first read the Twilight Saga in 2008. My very good friend loved the series, and bought me the first two books for my birthday (in August, important to my timeline). I was hooked and completed the series in days. I re-read the series many times after that.
When the first film came out, I was at the midnight showing. It was okay, but nothing spectacular, I thought. I was disappointed. I didn't feel the need to watch any of the other films.
Now it is 2013, and a week ago I had the time to re-read the Twilight Saga. I was just as engrossed as I was all those years ago. Now, finally, I am going to finish watching the films. So far I have re-watched Twilight and I have watched New Moon, too. I'm hoping the movies will continue to get better as they go on.
My favorite book is Twilight and then Breaking Dawn.
Who do you like best: Edward, Bella, or Jacob?
On my first go around, I would have said Jacob. Now I will have to say Edward.
Who is your favorite minor character?
I like Jasper and Charlie a lot.
What are your hobbies?
Where are you from?
How old are you?
I'm 25
I hope to meet some fellow Twilight fans as I complete my Twilight journey!

Quotes & Quips From Buffett's 2013 Shareholder Letter
The annual letter that Warren Buffett pens to shareholders is looked to for as much as its investment acumen as its homespun aphorisms. Both reveal much about the company and the man himself.
Here are some of highlights from Mr. Buffett's letter:
On betting on America:
"Charlie and I have always considered a "bet" on ever-rising U.S. prosperity to be very close to a sure thing…Indeed, who has ever benefited during the past 237 years by betting against America? If you compare our country's present condition to that existing in 1776, you have to rub your eyes in wonder. And the dynamism embedded in our market economy will continue to work its magic. America's best days lie ahead."
On the benefits of doing passive deals:
"Woody Allen stated the general idea when he said: 'The advantage of being bi-sexual is that it doubles your chances for a date on Saturday night.' Similarly, our appetite for either operating businesses or passive investments doubles our chances of finding sensible uses for our endless gusher of cash."
On his investment in the bonds of Energy Future Holdings, formerly known as TXU and not consulting Charlie Munger before making it:
"Most of you have never heard of Energy Future Holdings. Consider yourselves lucky; I certainly wish I hadn't… Last year, we sold our holdings for $259 million. While owning the bonds, we received $837 million in cash interest. Overall, therefore, we suffered a pre-tax loss of $873 million. Next time I'll call Charlie."
On Todd Combs and Ted Weschler handily beating the returns of both the S&P 500 and himself:
"I must again confess that their investments outperformed mine. (Charlie says I should add "by a lot.") If such humiliating comparisons continue, I'll have no choice but to cease talking about them."
On the pension problems facing state and local governments:
"Citizens and public officials typically under-appreciated the gigantic financial tapeworm that was born when promises were made that conflicted with a willingness to fund them. Unfortunately, pension mathematics today remain a mystery to most Americans."
On his deal for Nebraska Furniture Mart and the joys of not using bankers or lawyers:
"I think back to August 30, 1983 – my birthday – when I went to see Mrs. B (Rose Blumkin), carrying a 1 1/4-page purchase proposal for NFM that I had drafted. (It's reproduced on pages 114 – 115.) Mrs. B accepted my offer without changing a word, and we completed the deal without the involvement of investment bankers or lawyers (an experience that can only be described as heavenly). Though the company's financial statements were unaudited, I had no worries. Mrs. B simply told me what was what, and her word was good enough for me."
On Ajit Jain, Berkshire reinsurance business chief and possible successor to Mr. Buffett:
"Ajit's mind is an idea factory that is always looking for more lines of business he can add to his current assortment."

State troopers say alcohol contributed to a three-vehicle collision Thursday evening on U.S. 377/SH 99 in Pottawatomie County, with a male driver who allegedly fled on foot from the crash scene found an hour later standing in a yard and yelling for help.
The accident occurred about 6:20 p.m., just north of Hazel Dell Road.
Trooper Tyson Wright's report shows a 2003 Hyundai SUV, driven southbound by Jon Sturm, 48, Prague, lost control and crossed the center line.
That Hyundai struck a 2006 Honda Accord driven by Shelly Adair, 48, Prague. When her vehicle was struck by Sturm's vehicle, the Accord then struck a 1999 Ford Explorer driven by Deanna Eredny, 43, Prague, the OHP said.
According to the trooper's teletype, Sturm fled the scene of the accident on foot and was found about an hour later standing in a yard, where he was yelling for help.
Sturm was taken by the trooper to Prague Hospital and later transferred to one of the Integris Hospitals in Oklahoma City, where he was admitted in good condition with head, trunk, internal and external injuries, the report shows.
Several others were transported from the scene of the wreck.
Sturm's passenger, William Foster, 46, Prague, also was taken to Prague Hospital by Seminole EMS before later being transported to Integris Hospital by REACT EMS. He was admitted in good condition with head, internal and trunk injuries he patrol reported, the patrol reported.
Adair, the driver of the Honda Accord, had no passengers. She was taken by REACT EMS to Midwest City Hospital and admitted in fair condition for treatment of internal, external as well as arm and leg injuries.
Eredny, the driver of the Ford Explorer, also went by private vehicle to the hospital in Prague, where she was treated for unspecified injuries and released.
The trooper's teletype shows alcohol was the cause of the collision; the report listed an odor of alcohol for the driver's condition. It was sleeting at the time of the accident and roadways were icy, the report shows.
The OHP reported seat belts were in use by Adair and Eredny.
The trooper was assisted at the scene by the Prague police and fire departments.

Pope golf management firm signs up Pete Huber academy
Published: Tuesday, December 11, 2012 at 11:19 a.m.
Last Modified: Tuesday, December 11, 2012 at 11:19 a.m.
SARASOTA COUNTY - Pope Golf, the region's fast-growing country club management firm, said it has signed Pete Huber Golf Academy to be the primary golf school provider at all the courses Pope manages.
Most recently, the Sarasota County-based Pope announced it would start start running River Wilderness Golf and Country Club in Parrish. The contract capped a year-long expansion binge that has put Pope in charge of seven courses in the region and 12 nationwide.
The Pete Huber Golf Academy was founded by PGA master professional Pete Huber, who teaches at five Sarasota-area courses, according to its website.
"We are excited about offering our golfers exceptional golf instruction at all our facilities," Pope Golf chief executive Keith Pope said.
Started in 2004 by Pope, the company has run Sarasota Golf Club and Bent Tree Country Club for a number of years. Pope's expansion went into high gear in October 2011, when it leased two courses from Manatee County government: Manatee Golf and Buffalo Creek.
The following November, Pope became the manager for Myakka Pines Golf Club in Englewood. Misty Creek Country Club, off the Bee Ridge Extension in east Sarasota County, joined the fold in April 2012.
Pope also manages another five in other states, including the Asheville (N.C.) Municipal Golf Course, which became part of its management portfolio on Oct. 1.
The company employs the staff at each of the clubs or courses it manages, handling $18 million in revenue per year for a payroll of more than 250 workers.

LA GRANDE — Southern Oregon's Sydney White, of Clovis, Calif., has been named Cascade Collegiate Conference Red Lion Softball Pitcher of the Week, the conference announced Monday.
White pitched in all four games for the Raiders over the weekend, starting and pitching complete-game two-hitters in each of the first three contests.
She earned the win in two of those games while limiting College of Idaho and Eastern Oregon to a combined three earned runs.
She also pitched the final inning of SOU's last game of the weekend as the Raiders split the doubleheaders against the Coyotes and Mountaineers.
White and the Raiders return to action this week, as they will travel to Portland on Friday for a doubleheader against Concordia before taking on Northwest in Kirkland, Wash., on Saturday.

Terax Hair Care Original Crema Conditioner is a highly luxurious hydrating product that should follow every shampoo. The deeply penetrating moisturizers repair damage to the hair in order to prevent breaking and split ends. This conditioner is idea for dry, damaged hair that has been ravaged by the elements. All hair types can benefit from the rejuvenating properties of shea butter, bergamot and juniper. The formula softens the hair and leaves it tame and manageable.
You might also choose to use the Terax Hair Care Original Crema Conditioner in a smaller tube packaging version rather than a pump. The tube is lightweight and easy to handle in the shower.
Weak and fragile hair should also start with a gentle and nourishing shampoo. Try Terax Hair Care Collagene Shampoo to protect and hydrate the hair. Natural proteins from soy aid in the repairing effect. The formula builds strength while also retaining vital hydration and reducing the look of frizzy and frazzled locks.
Terax Hair Care Miele Shampoo is ideal for hair that is considered normal or is on the dry side. This is a very gentle formula that eliminates impurities while restoring moisture and strength. There are no harmful chemicals to strip the hair of moisture or color.
Take a look at the bottles of shampoo that are most common and you're bound to see ingredients with the word "sulfate" in them. Sulfates are one of the most commonly used surfactants in the hair care industry and are used to help water mix with oil, so that it can be washed away. These chemicals are favorites among many hair care companies because they create a large amount of suds and are inexpensive to manufacture. Unfortunately, studies have found that sulfates have the potential to damage the protective covering of the hair and can cause color and highlights to fade quickly.
Terax Hair Care Products offer an alternative to the sulfate-based product on the market. The shampoos and conditioners in the Terax Hair Care Products collection use surfactants derived from sugar and plants to provide the same benefits as sulfates without compromising the strength of the hair strands or stripping away color. The Terax Hair Care Products range also includes gentle solutions for shaving and a full range of chemical-free, highly effective hairsprays and styling aids to meet all of your needs.
The natural surfactants, emulsifiers and extracts found in Terax Hair Care Products make their formulas ideal for repairing and conditioning hair that is stressed, damaged and difficult to manage.
The Terax Hair Care Miele Shampoo uses a blend of natural surfactants to remove oil and grime from normal to dry hair without robbing the strands of moisture. The formula contains honey and elder flower, which help to rehydrate and condition dry, brittle strands. Wheat proteins present in the shampoo add strength to hair that has been weakened due to styling and the effects of the environment. To protect your hair color, sunflower seed extract is also included in the shampoo.
The Terax Hair Care Original Crema Conditioner is a daily use conditioner with the power of an intensive deep conditioning treatment. Shea butter is included in the luxurious formula to moisture damaged, dry hair, while bergamot, juniper and rice flowers are used to restore the proper nutrient balance to parched locks.

Changing the main drawing unit in the Drawing Preferences dialogue does not consistently change the coordinate display in the status bar.
I started a drawing with the application default set to centimetre and the drawing inherited this. All was well until I decided that I would prefer to work in millimeters. Ouch! Now there is no rhyme or reason as to what exactly is displayed in the status bar or (even worse) as to what scale a library object inserted into the drawing will appear.

Correct, which is why I said a separate site should be started, especially since the FAQ and wiki navigation on the Google code page are also kind of limited navigation-wise. I'm thinking something along the lines of the AzureusWiki which uses MediaWiki (free), but I'm not sure if there are additional costs and how difficult it would be to set up.otmanix wrote:meskibob wrote:It'll probably be better to start a separate, wiki-esque site that can be organized with clear navigation between the various troubleshooting tips and configuration how-tos. That's not really feasible with the current forum setup and I think is outside of the scope of how an effective forum should function.
I completely agree with you. The forum is not a good technical solution for documentation, etc.. But the forum is the only place where everyone is able to write sth for the community at the moment. The faq and wiki at code.google.com has only few entries and can only be edited by the developers. It would be a good idea to have a wiki where interested people can share their PMS knowledge.
Edit: MediaWiki may be a bit too powerful for this site currently, so here's a list of other "Wiki Farms" that could be used: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_wiki_farms
