American Honda Motor Co., Inc. is recalling about 40,000 of its 2007 TRX 500 ATVs, also known as the Honda Foreman and Foreman Rubicon.
Honda says water can enter the throttle position sensor and freeze, causing permanent damage if the rider forces the throttle lever. This could cause the throttle to stick open, posing a risk of injury or death to riders. The company has received two reported incidents of the throttle sticking. No injuries have been reported.
Built in the United States, the ATVs were sold by Honda dealers nationwide from June 2006 through December 2007 for between $6,500 and $7,600.
Honda says registered owners of the recalled ATVs have been sent direct notice and asked to contact any Honda ATV dealer to schedule a free repair.

And that can only mean opportunity in a beaten-down market. Look closer and one finds, the focus is on midcaps - companies with good growth prospects and strong financials. But long-term investment is key.

I went to 3 stores in town and they are dead! how they make money, its gonna be too hot, people stay in, sports are running out of players.. people have no money, I see them back down to $3 at the most.. this is too quick of climb!
I will never understand why people like to post and show how stupid they are. Look at what you wrote and then look at the facts. i am sure that you are just an unhappy ex-employee or you shorted the stock at $6.How can you say they are not going to survive? For the most part they have stayed profitable throughout this downturn.SCF
Stone is right. You have a company that has been profitable throughout it's 50+ years of existence. These guys know their customer and how to make money.

Waiting for Godot
by Samuel Beckett
Waiting for Godot Philosophical Viewpoints: The Absurd Quotes
How we cite our quotes: (Act.Line) Every time a character talks counts as one line, even if what they say turns into a long monologue.
Quote #7
Charming evening we're having.
And it's not over.
Apparently not.
It's only beginning.
It's awful.
Worse than the pantomime.
The circus.
The music-hall.
The circus. (1.486-495)
At first, Estragon's habit of repeating the same line in an exchange seems absurd. But it makes an interesting point: neither of them was saying anything new anyway. Repeating "the circus" is no less useful than listing off another synonym for "cheap entertainment."
Quote #8
(to Pozzo) Tell him to think.
Give him his hat.
His hat?
He can't think without his hat. (1.621-4)
Actions are restricted by absurd rules in Waiting for Godot. The bowler hat itself is already a comic symbol, thanks to Charlie Chaplin, so the dependence of something so vital—thinking—on such a trivial object is doubly ridiculous.
Quote #9
During Lucky's tirade the others react as follows.
1) Vladimir and Estragon all attention, Pozzo dejected and disgusted.
2) Vladimir and Estragon begin to protest, Pozzo's sufferings increase.
3) Vladimir and Estragon attentive again, Pozzo more and more agitated and groaning.
4) Vladimir and Estragon protest violently. Pozzo jumps up, pulls on the rope. General outcry. Lucky pulls on the rope, staggers, shouts his text. All three throw themselves on Lucky who struggles and shouts his text. (1.638)
Lucky's speech might not make any sense, but neither do the reactions of these three men. Notice that Beckett's stage directions don't note any specific moments in the speech where the men are to switch from a stance of interest to that of protest; this means the change in action isn't dependent on the words being uttered and is intentionally arbitrary.

Call us old-fashioned, but we miss the days when automakers surprised the world with concept cars and new introductions at major auto shows. Thanks to early debuts and leaked information, there's little that hasn't been seen by the time the show itself rolls around.
Porsche, however, took a different route for its 918 Spyder concept. When it bowed in Geneva earlier this month, it surprised virtually everyone.
"We were pleased that we were able to keep it quiet," Dave Engleman, a spokesman for Porsche North America, told The New York Times.
So, just how did this sexy supercar concept stay under wraps? It didn't hurt that Porsche maintained an uncanny level of security around the car (even its communications boss had to sign a non-disclosure agreement before viewing it), but how the concept was created didn't hurt.
As Georg Kacher wrote in our in-depth look at the 918, project XG10 was contrived, developed, and assembled completely in-house. No suppliers or external work forces were involved with the car. Porsche's engineers were responsible for designing and fabricating the plug-in hybrid system.
Perhaps even more helpful was the car's timing. The NYT reports the project was born back in August when Porsche Chairman Michael Macht and R&D Vice President Wolfgang Dürheimer were discussing ways to show Porsche that would remain true to its roots, despite the Volkswagen takeover. The 918 was their solution.
It has been frequently noted that the 918 is Porsche's first true concept since the 1993 advent of the Boxster, and that Porsche hasn't shown a show car it didn't intend to put into production. Indeed, executives are more than giddy when asked about the 918's future. It's not a matter of if the car will see production, but rather when, along with how many and how much. The company may be able to amortize costs by creating spin-offs; reportedly, a coupe, EV, and RS variants are under consideration, as is a LMP1-spec race car.

Let me make two things perfectly clear about the AP test reading. First, they want high school students to succeed. That much is very obvious. Two, they want the course to be rigorous. That is also very obvious. How well that is balanced is the subject of my post today, and it could be the post that doesn't allow me back to grade. But it needs to be discussed because, and I mentioned this on Twitter a few times, there is a serious disconnect between high school and the college teachers that create the test.
The reading opened my eyes to how the process of creating an Advanced Placement test works, and prevailing attitude among many readers was that high school teachers have little say about it. On the day that the test creators fielded questions, the lone high school teacher made a couple of supporting comments, but the bulk of the commentary was from a group of college professors. Before and after this session, much of the attitude revolved around "oh, it's the usual 'for show' thing that really won't change anything". That's unfortunate because if half of the best students are failing nearly every subject in the Advanced Placement curriculum, is that a sign of rigor or is it a sign of unreasonable expectations? This year the Microeconomics AP had a Free Response Question that over half the students received a zero on; that's no points. Sorry to burst the ego of college professors, but that's not a student problem, that's a test problem.
AP Comparative Government is supposed to represent an Introductory Course in Comparative Politics at a four-year institution. Fair enough. But here are the inconsistencies I found with that statement:
-First of all, the test creators remarked that they take tests themselves and they seemed to find it amusing that even they struggled on some parts of the exam. If the test is designed for a first-year undergrad to take, yet a PhD professor struggles with any part of it, isn't that a problem?
-While it would be nice that all the kids find interest in subject that they are taking, the test creators seem to assume that we are dealing with individuals that are passionate about, in this case, Comparative Politics. It seemed taken for granted that we are talking about high school students here, and not people that plan to achieve overall mastery in these subjects. And the College Board sends a contradictory message about that. Students are supposed to have equal access to Advanced Placement classes, regardless of status within the institution. That was preached during a meeting I went to. However the subject matter is assuming that student is going to master Calculus, or Biology, or U.S. History. And I'm not talking about the best students, I'm talking about those that just want to pass.
-I brought up that the overall rubric needed to be created at the inception of the question. A rough idea of the rubric is created when the question is created, but much of the details are hammered out at the AP Reading. I have a major problem with this. When you create a question for any major exam, you need to have a very specific idea what you are trying to get the student to understand. If you don't, you leave it up to others to figure out your interpretation of concept. For instance, my question was regarding economic globalization; a very broad concept. But the minutia of the details in the answer were more left to the interpretation of the leadership over a year onward from the development of the question. Who knows what the intent of the question creator was because it wasn't terribly explicit. In the end, I felt like students that understood the concept were not given the points simply because they used a wrong word. Sure, the student understood the concept, but they used bad (not necessarily wrong) verbage.
And from the meetings I attended, this problem is not going away any time soon. In fact, it looks to be getting worse. Apparently colleges are questioning the rigor of Advanced Placement courses in award college credit. It's a completely asinine thesis that reeks of academic elitism. But to remain in business, the College Board seems to be leaning well towards producing tests that are increasingly more challenging, which is defeating the real purpose of the tests. I love the idea and the premise of Advanced Placement, but it has some problems.
However, I do believe that the vast majority want to see students succeed. My "leaders" really wanted to collaborate on questions and answers while having a genuine smile when good answers passed under their pencils. It's this attitude that needs to permeate AP's. Let's push without discouraging achievement.

Eurovision Song Contest 1982
British broadcaster surprised everyone when deciding that the 1982 Eurovision Song Contest would be held in the northern city of Harrogate
The fairly unknown Harrogate in the United Kingdom was this year's host city of the Eurovision Song Contest. France was absent due to the fact that the national broadcaster thought that the Eurovision Song Contest would not be interesting for its viewers any longer. But already in 1983, France returned to the contest with a different broadcaster. Greece also withdrew from the contest, leaving 18 countries in the competition. Greece was supposed to enter the contest with the song Sarantapente Kopelies performed by Themis Adamantidis but the Greek minister of culture Melina Mercouri decided to withdraw the song just two weeks before the contest as it did not meet her quality standards.
Germany finally had its first win in the history of the song contest with its 27th try. Ein Biβchen Frieden performed by Nicole beat the runner-up by 61 points. At the reprise, Nicole sang the song in four languages: German, English, French and Dutch. Over 13 million West Germans watched Nicole's victory on television and her winning song became a hit in all over Europe.
Finland's entrant, Kojo, also sang about peace. His song - a protest against nuclear bombs - did not do as well as Germany's, however It received no points at all. For the Belgian singer Stella, it was already the third time she participated in the Eurovision Song Contest: in 1970, she competed for the Netherlands, and in 1977 for Belgium. Her 1982 song Si Tu Aimes Ma Musique was sung fully in French even if Stella hardly spoke the language, being a native Dutch speaker.

A sentencing hearing for a former Jackson Police Department narcotics officer who pleaded guilty to bribery has been rescheduled for Jan. 3.
Robert Nikita Shegog pleaded guilty July 3 to his role in a scheme to help a man get a reduced sentence in a drug case in exchange for $45,000. He had been scheduled for sentencing Thursday in U.S. District Court in Jackson, but his lawyer asked for a delay for personal reasons.
U.S. District Judge Henry Wingate entered an order Thursday rescheduling the hearing.
When Shegog pleaded guilty, he told the court that two other officers were involved in the scheme, though their names were not mentioned during the hearing.

Fiery chef Gordon Ramsay is 'most admired man'
Published by webmaster for 24dash.com in Communities
Gordon Ramsay
Fiery chef Gordon Ramsay is the most admired man and Pete Doherty the least admired, according to a survey.
Professor Stephen Hawking, TV survival expert Ray Mears, 007 star Daniel Craig and comedy star Ricky Gervais also feature strongly in the survey of figures that British men most respect.
Doherty, whose profile has rocketed since he began dating Kate Moss, one of the world's most desirable women, is the least respected British man.
He was followed by Russell Brand and footballer David Beckham in the survey for upmarket men's magazine Esquire.
It interviewed 500 men for the State of the British Man Survey - and found Scarlett Johansson is the woman the majority want to bed, have dinner with and marry.
Almost half the participants - 42% - were more concerned about global warming than the threat of terrorism or the state of the economy.
While football is the favourite sport of 63% of those surveyed, more men fantasise about having a number one album than they do about playing in an FA Cup final.
The study also found that men were more interested in doing a job they love than the size of their pay cheques.
The magazine is out on Monday.
Which British Man Do You Most Admire?
1. Gordon Ramsay (17%)
2. Professor Stephen Hawking (14%)
3. Ray Mears (11%)
4. Daniel Craig (11%)
5: Ricky Gervais (9%)

PIEDMONT -- New school district business official Song Chin-Bendib credits her father for instilling in her a love and respect for education.
It shows because Chin-Bendib has worked for school districts large and small, in risk management, bond finance, facilities and construction, budgets, personnel and more.
The hiring of Chin-Bendib was announced at the Aug. 20 school board meeting as part of an administrative reorganization. Assistant Superintendent Michael Brady will transition over to expand the adult education program to include online opportunities and independent study.
"We are expecting to return to (very) robust offerings for the community that we had through adult education years ago," Superintendent Connie Hubbard said.
Chin-Bendib will begin with the Piedmont Unified School District on Sept. 15. But she and Brady -- who has handled budgeting and numerous other fiscal and administrative tasks -- will work together through December before he takes up his new post.
"The new funding for adult school will include providing pathways for high school students to transition directly into career paths from graduation," Hubbard said.
Chin-Bendib's career path has included several school districts. From 2007 to the present, she was in charge of San Leandro Unified's food services, technology, budgets, facilities/construction, bond oversight and bargaining negotiations.
She has also worked for the South San Francisco Unified School District, Berkeley Unified, Tamalpais Union High School District and as a senior accountant for the Los Angeles County Office of Education.
She has faced challenges working with districts on their fiscal recovery plans to balance budgets, instituted practices for risk management and discovered glitches in accounting systems.
Chin-Bendib grew up in Malaysia, one of six children. She came to the United States as a young adult to attend Cal State University, San Bernardino, attaining her undergraduate degree in business. She partially completed her master's in business administration before relocating to Northern California. Her parents placed a high value on education. One of her siblings is a doctor, another a chemical engineer.
"We had incredible parents," Chin-Bendib said. "We were very poor, living in a Third World country. My parents couldn't finish high school. But my father was way ahead of his time. He was socially conscious and concerned about the environment. His heart was in public service and education. It is ingrained in my DNA."
Her father was an accounting clerk for a public utilities company. She would help him tally invoices and said she got her affinity for numbers "by osmosis."
Chin-Bendib said she thrives on challenges.
"I pride myself in analyzing situations very quickly, figuring out where the problem is and making an action plan," she said. "You listen to people and expand from there. But front and center are the students."
Hubbard is delighted to have Chin-Bendib -- who lives in Berkeley with her husband -- join the administrative team. The district is in negotiations over Chin-Bendib's salary.
"We look forward to working with her," Hubbard said. "Her expertise in school budgets and bond programs will help us in moving forward in assessing next steps for Alan Harvey and other facilities planning."

« Dreamiest socks EVER! | Reluctant fall… »
by niqkita
September 19th, 2006
Also dreamy…
While testing out the newest colors of the Long Cuffable Socks I really fell in love with them, especially this dark red pair, and the walnut pair, and, okay, I was just loving all the new colors. They are great in place of tights as they go way up most legs, long or large, and stay up really well. Plus, they are warm, nicely ribbed and not too thick or thin, snug down to the feet while not being tight. We've been hearing from alot of people, including many of you, our best sock experts, about just how well these fit. As a result Alicia is bringing in even more colors than we originally planned and we've been toying with the idea of getting rid of the M43s, who needs ' em with thigh high socks as awesome as these and the Super Dreamies?
16 soxy thoughts:
those boots look like a modern version of Papas lace-up moccasins! awesome everwidening array of socks, btw.
September 25th, 2006 at 10:05 pm
hee hee, Lola's head is fine, Peta doesn't need to free her from her opression ~;) She loves kitties!!!
September 21st, 2006 at 12:06 pm
Lola has a Blog? Peter Kitty might want to kanoodle it…he's a big flirt.
September 20th, 2006 at 9:02 pm
and just for the record i am completely lost….I know I have and love the M40s – now replaced by the M43s which I love….and I think i have the cuffables……I am sure those are the black ones I ordered and i think i have grey??? but the ribbed?? do i have those- i think i do?? which is which??????? I will have to pull them all out and do some side by side comparisons….all I know is I love them all…different styles for different moods….
September 20th, 2006 at 9:11 pm
By the way, I looove that skirt that is in the picture of the hunter green long cuffables. So cute!
September 20th, 2006 at 4:11 pm
Oh no! Please don't get rid of the m43's! I still want to order some. I also agree, these two types of socks have completely different looks: one ribbed, one not ribbed looking. So. : ( don't get rid of m43's!
September 20th, 2006 at 2:00 pm
Gah,…I meant to order a pair of the cuffables with my order yesterday to try them out but I was too distracted by the super dreamys… Oh well! Next time I'll have to get some hehehe.
September 20th, 2006 at 12:24 pm
HA! that'd be scrunches. don't know what a srunch is. ;p
September 20th, 2006 at 8:55 am
I definitely vote for keeping the M43s, as I, too, like the difference in look, and I personally find them wonderfully comfy. The Cuffables are fantastic–I am wearing mine for the first time actually!–the quality is really spectacular. I definitely think these can replace the Ribbed Ms. They definitely stay in place great, are nice and warm–although, I have never found the M43s to be hot in comparison, in fact, I think these Cuffables are warmer–but I didn't find any itchiness, so, dear Rebeckah, you're just weird. ;P All in all, I will still be a fan of the M43s, and now I love the Cuffables, too, but they are *different* looking socks, even if only a little, but different people have different preferences, likes and dislikes, as evidenced by all the various comments here. More variety to cater to such differences is probably something worth holding onto. Anyway, I'm in super rambling mood…
September 20th, 2006 at 10:41 am
on my super thin legs the big difference is that the srunches stay put with the cuffables. The Ms tend to have all the folds sag down to my ankles. For sure the cuffables could replace the ribbed Ms, but the reg Ms are a nice flat weave, so you've got 2 different looks between them. The toes on both are huge and boxy for my 6.5s. So they both go through the dryer at least once. & the cuffables itch me more. I had to wash them before I could even wear them the 1st time…. and they're still a little itchy. Ms are softer. how's that? So, I'll enter a plea for small foot scrunchables if you're going to replace the Ms with these. ooo, a 100 inch scrunchable?
September 20th, 2006 at 8:53 am
and also I find it hilarious in the photos I took of these I'm wearing Fornarina boots too lol
September 20th, 2006 at 8:04 am
I also love the M43s. The stretch is great, they even stay up on my small legs without garters. However, I personallymight try the cuffables instead of the Ribbed M Stockings. It always bugged me that the feet aren't always the same color as the rest of the sock.
September 20th, 2006 at 8:15 am
lol, i haven't tried these OR the M40s or M43s, but they certainly do sound like the quintessential very long sock!
September 19th, 2006 at 11:05 pm
Hang on, don't the M43s have at least a couple more inches of stretch in the thighs than the Cuffables? *is slightly worried about losing the chance to wear long plain socks*
September 19th, 2006 at 11:53 pm
I still haven't tried these. I ADORE the m43s though so you definetly shouldn't get rid of them. Actually I can't remember if I've bought any of the M43s…I have a bunch of M40s, but I love the ratio of ribbed to non-ribbedness on the m40s/m43s!(But if you do get rid of them I'll just have to stock up hehehe)
September 19th, 2006 at 10:15 pm
These Cuffables are the best choice for trail walking /hiking.I'm 5'8″ and I can fold these socks down three times ending up with a thick 4″ cuff with just the top half of my kneecaps showing.Perfect length for kneesocks!………and the cuffs stay up without constant tugging. So if any of you out there are hitting the trails this Summer, throw on your hiking shorts, boots and a pair of the best knee socks around!

INWOOD - Musselman coach Shannon DeMasi and her players were happy to be back on the softball field.
They were even happier with the outcome of Friday's game.
After almost a week off from play because of weather, the Applemen returned to the field in dominating fashion with a 12-2 win over Martinsburg (2-17), its seventh in a row.

Musselman's Ashley Bentley (16) drives the ball into left field for a RBI during the second inning.
Martinsburg's Kilyn Colerick (5) dodges a low and inside pitch.
Martinsburg's Keesha Davenport pitches against Musselman.
Musselman's Bethany Jenkins (5) reaches second base on a double past Martinsburg's Hope Musa (7).
"You just can't go and play in the gym; it's different," DeMasi said. "The hardwood doesn't give you the bounce that the ground does, and the pitching machine can only do so much. To be able to come out and see things live and actually get back on the dirt, I think it good for all us, the morale in general."
DeMasi liked the way her team played in all phases of the game, especially at the plate, where the Applemen (18-3) racked up eight hits and scored multiple runs in each inning.
Musselman went ahead 4-0 in its first at-bat. Leadoff hitter Tori Butler reached on an error, then Haley Fischer walked to put two runners on with no outs. Taylor Stocks followed with two-run single that scored Butler and Fischer and gave the Applemen a quick lead.
Stocks scored two batters later on a sacrifice fly from Brittany Ingram for the third of run of the inning. Ashley Bentley followed with a single, then scored on an RBI double by Kelcie Jenkins to give Musselman the 4-0 lead.
After Martinsburg scored twice in the top of the second inning to cut the lead to 4-2, the Applemen scored eight runs over the final three innings to end the game in four innings.
A three-run fourth secured the win for Musselman. Ingram walked and Bentley singled to start the inning. Jenkins then reached on an error, which scored pinch-runner Kaylee Butts.
Bethany Jenkins followed with a single that scored Bentley, and Kelcie Jenkins eventually scored the final run on a fielder's choice by Victoria Grace.
"I think all the way around, we did OK. We had a couple defensive mistakes, but we did our shift defense, and I think the girls are really confident in that to make changes when needed. All around, I think we did really well," DeMasi said.
Two Musselman players had multiple hits, led by Bentley with three. She drove in two runs, while Stocks had two hits and three RBI.
Mikayla Metzger and Gabby Colerick accounted for the Bulldogs' two hits. They also drove in both of Martinsburg's runs in the second inning on back-to-back singles.
Brittany Ingram got the win for Musselman.

DC making DC USA garage free
Tipster Thomas forwarded an email the Mayor's office sent around about the snow:
DC USA parking garage will remain free for the next 48 hours: With street parking more scarce during this historic winter weather season, we will continue providing free parking in the over 2,000 space parking complex at the shopping center in Columbia Heights. The DC USA parking center is conveniently located a block from the Columbia Heights metro stop and can provide sheltered parking while ensuring that your vehicle is off of the streets so that we can quickly clear your street and return to normalcy as soon as possible.The email also reminded residents that you have to clear your sidewalk and asks those who drive to please be careful not to park in ways that block snowplows from accessing streets.
Given the cost of snow removal on the streets, having people park at DC USA instead of on the street is a positive externality (given that the garage already exists).
Cleared spaces are an expensive commodity for individual citizens, but not so much for shopping centers.
40+ inches of snow in a season is much more common than that - more like once every 7 years:
And those are records from DCA, which usually has snowfall totals that are much lower than the rest of the city, thanks to its exposed location at sea level, near a large open body of water.
Would someone please post the address of this DC USA garage, or perhaps a link to its location on Google Maps? That would help some of us who don't normally drive around the Columbia Heights neighborhood to find the garage. I'm thinking that if I can get from Greenbelt to Columbia Heights by car on Friday, I can get the rest of the way to my meeting on the underground Metro.
Thanks in advance.

Avoiding Mistakes While Job Hunting Online
Job searching online can make you susceptible to unexpected pitfalls. Some companies can see if you're frequently re-submitting your resume, and others can track your cover letters for every position to instantly pick out any discrepancies — especially if you refer to each position as your "dream job," writes WSJ's Sarah E. Needleman. Applying for every posting despite your qualifications is another common problem. Filling out an online application online may only take a few minutes, but the practice can annoy company recruiters.
Here, Ms. Needleman shares more advice on common mistakes when job hunting online:
There's been no shortage of warnings about the career dangers of posting racy content on sites like Facebook and Twitter. Yet many job hunters still don't heed that advice, and others don't realize they're doing just as much damage by doing things like bending the truth or spamming their résumés. Recruiters say such faux-pas can result in immediate and lasting career damage.
"You're going to be remembered—and not in a positive way," says Colleen McCreary, chief people officer for Zynga Game Network Inc., a San Francisco developer of social games including FarmVille. "Recruiters move around a lot from company to company, and that can carry on with them for a long period of time."
Ms. McCreary says candidates consistently damage their reputations by sending cover letters that disingenuously claim a specific position at the company is their dream job. With a check of Zynga's applicant-tracking system, she can see that those people submitted the same letter for several other openings, too. "They've now lost all their integrity," she says. As an alternative, she recommends that job hunters write about the two or three positions they're most qualified for in a single letter.
Job hunters also regularly flub by submitting their résumés to multiple recruiters and hiring managers at a single firm. "What they're doing is a huge turn off because it sucks up a lot of time for people," says Ms. McCreary.
Likewise, job hunters repeatedly derail their chances by applying for positions for which they don't even meet the basic requirements. "There are a few people out there who seem to see it fit to apply to every job we ever post," says Dan Goldsmith, a managing partner at AC Lion, an executive-search firm in New York. "Those people just go right in the trash folder."

Say NO to bad ingredients & fillers:
- NO Corn
- NO Wheat
- NO By Products (legs, feet, beaks etc.)
- NO Dairy
- NO Artificial Flavoring or Colorings
Say YES to High Quality Ingredients:
- YES to whole food ingredients
- YES to human grade ingredients
- YES to a product developed by a Veterinarian of National Reputation and Highly Credentialed in Nutrition
- YES to low heat and fast cooking methods
- YES to a formula based on real science and not based on marketing to a human's sense of sight, smell and texture
Life's Abundance by Healthy Pet Net is not available in local pet stores, "big box" retailers (PetCo – PetSmart) or grocery stores. It's only available through independent field reps such as myself. There are many reasons for this but the one I personally like: Since they don't mass produce this food it is the freshest you can purchase. The select quality ingredients are cooked in small batches using an exclusive "fast-cook" process that uses less heat to gently lock in more of the natural goodness and fresh taste of real food. (Excessive heat depletes food of valuable nutrients.)
When you are looking at this food and the supplements keep a couple of things in mind:
- With Life's Abundance you will feed your dog less food as there are less "fillers" and more nutrients per bite.
- Your time is worth money. So if it takes you an hour to go to the store to purchase your current dog food, what's the value of that? Healthy Pet Net will drop ship the food on your doorstep. If you choose autoship you don't have to think about purchasing your dog's food again. You'll get an email stating that there is a shipment scheduled and with autoship they offer you a substantial discount.
- Gas is now almost $3.00 per gallon. Calculate that into your time and travel to balance out the shipping cost.
- Input vs. output. There is far less "waste" to clean up. (I had to point that out because it is a bonus of feeding this food!)
- Is your dog's weight a growing concern? It may be time to get your dog Life's Abundance Weight Loss Formula.
Your dog's coat will benefit from this food along with the supplements which provide a broad spectrum of essential nutrients for their everyday needs.
- Advanced Daily Supplement with Phytonutrient Power for Dogs provides additional nutritional support to help your dog maintain healthy immune and liver function.
- Agility – provides Glucosamine and MSM which is a natural, holistic multi-action joint support supplement containing scientifically tested ingredients that can help maintain joint and connective tissue health.
- The Skin & Coat Formula for Dogs & Cats is a supplement that provides a source of Omega-3 and Omega-6 fatty acids plus Vitamins A, D, and E which are beneficial for the maintenance of healthy skin and a glossy coat.

State Senator Eric Kearney and his efforts to name a poet laureate for Ohio By Barbara Gray • Apr 25, 2014 Listen Listening... / 9:58 Are you aware that the State of Ohio does not have a poet laureate?

Kearney: Unpaid taxes won't force me out of the race By Howard Wilkinson • Dec 4, 2013 Ohio Senate Despite owing nearly three-quarters of a million dollars in unpaid state and federal taxes, State Sen. Eric Kearney made it clear Wednesday morning that he has no intention of stepping down as the Democratic candidate for Ohio lieutenant governor. "I'm in it to stay,'' the North Avondale Democrat said in a teleconference with Ohio reporters that lasted well over an hour Wednesday. "My wife and I made the decision that we're going to do this and we're going to do it; and we're here to follow it through." Howard Wilkinson's weekly political chat By Maryanne Zeleznik • Nov 25, 2013 Michael Keating This week, WVXU Political Reporter Howard Wilkinson talks about Eric Kearney joining Democrat Ed FitzGerald on his gubernatorial ticket. Kearney the latest to put Hamilton County on Ohio's political map By Howard Wilkinson • Nov 23, 2013 If old guard Republicans in Hamilton County were the type to use Internet slang, they might be typing "smh" when they see what is going on with their county and the Ohio Democratic Party these days. "Scratching my head,'' for those who don't keep up with internet slang. There was a time, a few decades ago, when the Ohio Democratic Party barely acknowledged the existence of Hamilton County; they turned their heads and pretended extreme southwest corner of the state didn't exist because it was so thoroughly Republican. Those days are gone. FitzGerald-Kearney ticket now official By Ann Thompson • Nov 21, 2013 Ann Thompson / WVXU State Senator Eric Kearney's life is about to get busier.

Kasich, Ohio Democratic legislators and other proponents of Medicaid expansion say it will save the state money and insure more Ohioans, but opponents claim it will cause Ohio to lose jobs and increase the state's cost to cover health care. Four Cincinnati Democrats on statewide ballot? By Howard Wilkinson • Mar 14, 2013 Michael Keating On Friday night, at the Columbus Athenaeum, the Ohio Democratic Democratic Party will hold its annual "Legacy Dinner," one of the party's largest fundraising events of the year.

Computer Technology
|Designed by a former NASA engineer, Coryphaeus software tools provide the ability to create real-time visual simulations in 3D to train jet aircraft pilots.
Virtual worlds of stunning realism is the pledge from products created by real-time 3D software manufacturer Coryphaeus Software, Inc. of Los Gatos, California.
Coryphaeus Software was founded in 1989 by former NASA electronics engineer, Steve Lakowske. His 10-years in the space arena included work on a vertical motion simulator at Ames Research Center, and other tasks associated with human and machine interaction. One of his assignments at Ames was design, fabrication, and testing of audio, communications, and aural cue systems in a multimillion dollar aviation human factors research facility.
As president of the privately-owned Coryphaeus, Lakowske turned his prior experiences into a successful software firm producing high-end, real-time simulation products for virtual reality applications. Annual sales are now over $6 million.
"My ten years at NASA allowed me to learn much of what I'm still applying today in this business," says Lakowske. "The technology we were developing in the various projects is something that was rarely done in the commercial sector, so there was a considerable amount of technology transfer, at least in terms of the ideas and principles. And I hope that sort of tech transfer continues," he adds.
|Software tools developed by Coryphaeus yield real-time 3D visual simulations ideal for plotting the twists and turns of a highway for planning purposes.
Designer's Workbench was the flagship product of Coryphaeus, a modeling and simulation tool for the development of both static and dynamic 3D databases. Other products soon followed, such as Activation, EasyT and EasyScene.
Activation was specifically designed for game developers to play and test next-generation 3D games before they commit it to a target platform. With Activation, game publishers can shorten development time and prove the "play ability" of the title, thereby maximizing their chances of introducing a smash hit.
EasyT lets users create massive, realistic representations of Earth terrains that can be viewed and traversed in real time. Importing satellite data into EasyT is easily done, to accurately represent elevation data, as well as carry images of Earth. This software allows users to zoom in on models, perusing data at a high level of detail.
EasyScene software controls the actions among interactive objects within a virtual world. This tool creates and plays back behaviors between the virtual objects and the virtual environment.
|Activation, a real-time graphics software by Coryphaeus, allows a user to incorporate models, animation sequences, and character animation into a game being prototyped.
All Coryphaeus products are designed to promote high productivity for both engineering and non-programming users. The result is easy-to-use tools to establish real-time 3D simulations for interactive instrumentation, out-the -window scenes, virtual reality and game authoring.
Customer applications include real-time flight and driving simulation and training systems, terrain modeling and test range simulations, pilot's view re-creations from flight data recorders, and real-time walkthroughs of facilities.
Coryphaeus products are used on Silicon Graphics workstations and supercomputers to simulate real-world performance in synthetic environments. The company is also working to develop its software to operate on other platforms.
A representative sampling of commercial customers for the company's software tools includes aerospace, aviation, architectural and engineering firms, game developers, and the entertainment industry. Boeing, Hughes Training, Lockheed Martin, ITT Automotive, as well as NASA and branches of the U.S. armed forces, are among the list of clients.
Designer's workbench, Activation, EasyT and EasyScene are trademarks of Coryphaeus Software, Inc.

What is in this article?:
- Strengthen store security
- Tips to target shoplifters
- Zero in on employee theft
Experts give 21 easy, inexpensive ways retailers can prevent and minimize shrink due to various types of theft including shoplifting, employee theft, vendor fraud and burglary.
When the going gets tough, the tough go … shoplifting. That's the consensus of nearly 8,000 grocery retailers who responded to the Food Marketing Institute's "2009 Supermarket Security and Loss Prevention" survey.
"Historically, an economy in trouble often leads to an increase in theft-related loss" for grocers, concluded researchers at FMI, an Arlington, Va.-based trade association for food retailers and wholesalers. But the good news is that after three years of increases, retailers reported that theft-related losses were down in 2008, which "demonstrates that loss prevention is back on track as the economy rebounds," FMI researchers say.
Nevertheless, loss due to shoplifting, employee theft, vendor theft, burglary and other fraud accounted for a median of 1.9 percent of supermarkets' total retail sales in 2008, according to the FMI report.
The bottom line: Whether you have one store or 100, theft can subtract thousands of dollars from your annual profits. In fact, the smaller your store, the more vulnerable you may be because you have fewer resources to put toward security systems. But there are a variety of inexpensive yet effective ways to reduce thefts. Here's what security experts recommend to combat the four biggest types of store loss: shoplifting, employee theft, vendor fraud and burglary.

REBA: Putting his earphones in and listening to his music when I'm just wanting to talk.
SHELBY: When we're talking on the phone, she gets very excited sometimes and she'll ask a question and then before I'm even ready to answer, she'll ask another question and then she'll get excited off of that one and ask another one and I'll have to slow her down.
REBA: Shelby knows how to keep a secret. You tell him, "Do not tell anybody this," and he will take it to the grave. And another thing, he doesn't lie.
SHELBY: Overall, she's just your average, everyday person, to be honest. She's not any different. You could walk up to her and start a conversation. That's just the kind of person she is and how she is, an overall loving person.
REBA: My hamburger beans with Mexican cornbread. It's kind of like a soup. It's got hamburger, red beans, corn, green beans and then I make Mexican cornbread with creamed corn and layers of cheese in it.
SHELBY: She has a special soup she makes. It has a little bit of everything—green beans, corn, a little bit of beef—it's just kind of like a big stew. It's hard to explain, but it's really good. Every time she makes it, everybody gets excited.
REBA: "You Lie."
SHELBY: "Fancy," probably, just because my dad is extremely good at setting up stages and setting up encores. It has been the encore for her for I don't know how long. But that's definitely one song that seeing live is worth seeing just because it's such a good show ending.
REBA: We took his car away for throwing a party at the house while we were gone without asking.
SHELBY: I thought I had the night planned out perfectly. I had a couple of friends over and one thing led to the other and there were a lot of friends over by the end of the night. It turned out to be a pool party, but everything was good to go, then I forgot to do the laundry. So there were a bunch of extra towels laying around and they started questioning me on that and I said, "Yeah, I swam a bunch of times." And they were like, "You got a new towel every single time?"
REBA: Oh, me. He's got me wrapped around his little finger. Narvel says, "Oh my Lord, it's sickening." It is. Oh my God, he's the love of my life. Mama always said, "You haven't lived until you've had a child of your own."
SHELBY: I got kind of [ripped off] in this deal. My dad, in his first marriage, had three kids—Brandon, Chass and Shawna. And when I was born, they were all from 18 to 11 and they kind of pushed the boundaries and found the limits of my dad and mom. So my dad and mom knew every trick in the book. But neither one is a pushover, and when I do finally get to get a word in and can stake my claim, it turns into a business proposition. And my mom normally is like, "Oh yeah, that sounds good." Then I get to my dad and he's like, "No." Then he goes back to my mom and explains it to her and she's like, "Lord, no!" So, it's like a double failure!

| November, when AGPL was finalized.
Google blocking AGPL in Google Code
,----[ Quote ]
| So, first AGPL was not good enough for Google because it was not
| OSI-approved. That limited its popularity... Now it is OSI-approved. Still,
| it is not popular enough to be accepted in the Google closed open source
| hosting site?
| And, by the way, why should people put their open source code in the hands of
| someone who likes open source only when it does good to its business (ehm,
| that could include me, but we are not talking about me, are we ;-) ?
| C'mon Chris, give developers the ability of using AGPL for their own projects
| in Google Code. Your fight for no proliferation of licenses is something I
| subscribe to, but AGPL is the license of the future, no matter if Google
| likes it or not. And I can guarantee you it will become even more popular if
| it is accepted in Google Code...

In 2011, the federal government designated bicycling and walking as formal modes of transportation.
Parkersburg wants to make that happen.
Kim Coram, of Parkerburg City Council and Bicycle Advisory Board says it's a slow process.
First they have to figure out the infrastructures, education and how the roads are designed, but they are following the League of American Bicyclists blueprint.
"I should have the right to walk and ride my bike safely through this community -- to get around, as a mode of transportation," Coram says. "But it's not safe; a lot of times it's very dangerous to be on my bicycle."
She says it's good for her and the environment and puts less wear and tear on the road.
Coram and anyone else who wants to should be able ride safely and that's what they're working on to make a reality.
PARKERSBURG, W.Va. (AP) - Good news for cyclists in Parkersburg.
City officials say six bicycle trails are either complete or in the planning stages.
They say the trails are for both recreation and transportation.
The trails are a work in progress and the goal is to get them away from roadways.

A Must Read - Share
It was a good week for Phil Mickelson -- and for his sponsors.Welcome to another edition of The Grind, where unlike the Super Bowl, we promise to never leave you in the dark. Speaking of lights out, how about the play of Phil Mickelson at the Waste Management Phoenix Open? Of course, he was also the talk of the golf world early last season before doing his best impression of a typical small-market baseball team and disappearing for most of the spring/summer. But for now, we'll focus on the positives. . .

A narrow victory
A few moments in his match at the Tennis Masters Cup today, it appeared that Roger would lose against Andy Roddick He was down one set to love and he had a double match point against him in the second set tie break at 4-6.
But then, just like many times before, the wheels fell off in Roddick's attempt to oust the best tennis player on the planet. Roger fought off three match points to win the second set tie breaker and then he cruised in the deciding set to defeat his American opponent 4-6, 7-6 (10-8), 6-4.
"One of the only things I probably would have changed about that point at 6-4 is putting a first serve in," Roddick said. "This won't be the last time I think about that." Roger also agreed that was the turning point.
"Early on in the tiebreak already when I was down 4-1 and him serving ... I thought, well, probably not my day, I'm not playing that great and he's not giving me a chance, so I guess that's it.," Roger said afterwards. "But I told myself, you know, maybe I can make him nervous by just staying along and in the match. That's what happened. I don't know if he got nervous or it just went my way in the end, but it was really close, that's for sure," he said.
Roger has now extended his winning stretch in round-robin matches at the season-ending championship to 14 and his streak against Roddick to eight. He's 12-1 career against Roddick, who has not beaten our star since the semifinals at Montreal in 2003.
Roger will meet Ljubicic on Thursday at 12.00 (Swiss time).
On to the next match...
Congratulations!! You are the most jaw-dropping, courageous #1 any fan could desire. What a close second set where you prevailed....

The Cay
by Theodore Taylor
The Cay Chapter 18 Summary
- Without Timothy to serve as his eyes, Phillip's sense of hearing and touch become stronger. He hears the gulls, the breezes, the lizards, and even the paws of Stew Cat.
- One morning in August Phillip hears the drone of an airplane. He grabs the fire stick and lights the signal fire. Though he gets the fire going, the plane leaves.
- Not surprisingly, Phillip is depressed. But he figures out that maybe he needs to make dark smoke rather than white (most wood burning creates light-colored smoke). After a little thinking, he realizes he can use bundles of oily sea grape to create dark smoke. Having made the plan, he feels better.
- On August 20, Phillip hears thunderous noises and explosions – possibly a nearby destroyer fighting with submarines.
- Phillip takes his matches and goes to the signal fire. He sets off two signals then hears the drone of an airplane. He lights the third signal, throwing on pile after pile of sea grapes.
- The sound of the aircraft gets closer and swoops down overhead in a roar. Phillip yells out, "Timothy, they've come" (18.44).
- The aircraft makes another circle but eventually flies away. Silence. Phillip has been defeated again. He thinks the pilot may have mistaken him for a native, since his skin is so dark now.
- Phillip looks at Timothy's grave and asks why he didn't take him with him.

What makes my job really fun is all the young people I meet.
Over the years all my assistants have been smart, hard working, loyal and ambitious. When I hire them I tell them I only want them to work for me for 2 years (although I won't throw them out at 2 years!) Even though it is annoying to have to retrain new ones, I want them to have careers beyond me. I don't want them stuck in a job – I want them successful and doing new and exciting things. I also confess to them that I am tough to work for but there is a payoff at the end. I tell them when their time commitment to me ends, I will help them get the job of their dreams and I won't give up until I get it for them. They have kept their words with me and I have kept mine with them. Of course each of them has earned these jobs (below) and each has been qualified for them — I just make sure that they get the right training and discipline so that they are the top choices for employers.
Here is what my former assistants are doing and I am very proud of them:
2 lawyers
3 producers
1 correspondent
…and my current assistant, Jennifer Holton, you see here on GretaWire with her video reports. She wants to be a correspondent so we are already building up a video resume and I am working with her on her reports. I give her assignments so that she covers a wide range of topics to report on. My colleagues Shannon Bream and Mike Emanuel (both incredibly smart) have also been very very gracious to her. They have been giving her guidance and knowledge that I don't have and I am grateful to them for helping.
It really is fun to see these assistants so successful. I am proud of each of them.

Here is sit ready to post again and i cant. Its been a few days im not even sure how many im so out of it,Leiby, little sweet Leiby. What draws me to this boy, why has it been so hard for me and many others to let go. I did not know his family, i don't know anyone else that knows his family. I don't live in New York and I've only been to Borough Park to shop, yet my loss is so heavy for this little stranger. I haven't slept well the last few nights because i have been up to late searching all the websites for more information. I honestly don't know what im looking for, Leiby is gone, he was murdered in a horrible way, and there is nothing left to do, but i keep looking. I keep hoping and i'm not sure for what. A glimmer maybe, something to add a spec of light to this tragic darkness. I want to read that they have medical proof that he did not suffer and was not scared, i want a personal letter from Hashem telling us all its ok and Leiby is happy and not to worry anymore. I want something but im not getting it, i need to stop reading the follow up news and get some sleep my body is wearing down.
There is a connection in our community that is like a long chain made of many different links that bind us all together. Our nation has been through a lot and we have rejoiced and suffered together. So when one of our own is hurt we all feel it,we are missing a link in our eternal chain.
This morning my kids built a "boat" with couch cushions. I watched them struggle to maneuver the large pillows, they were so excited to build this great ship. I was watching from the bare couch and my son looked at me and said "mommy aren't you going to take pictures"? because this is what i do i take 1000s of pictures of my kids all day everyday, and he was shocked that i wasn't capturing every moment of the "great ship".
I didn't want to take pictures it felt so weird to move on when i know their is a part of our chain missing and a family feeling such agony over their missing link. I felt guilty like i wasn't ready to go back to my own life, but i have to and i snapped away.
One of the things that struck me when the Fogel family was brutality murdered in their own home by terrorist, was the attitude of the Country. Israel did not recoil in fear and leave the great lands that were given to us by Hashem himself,and they did not retaliate and attack a Palestinian family in the same horrific way. Israel said theses simple words " We will continue to build". This hit me hard at first because i was shocked that at this dark time the country was only thinking of land, dirt and water. Then i realized the meaning. Its not just the physical building but the spiritual.
We will continue to build if you strike us down we will only grow more.This is the way of the Jewish people and the Lubavitcher Rebbe only encouraged us to grow, to conquer the bad , to want more. I know the Rebbe would of wanted us to bring light in this dark time, and it doesn't matter who you are Lubavitch or not, bring light.
Leiby's loss was tragic beyond words. The darkness is so dark that we can not see our own two hands, but they are there. Today i will bring light. I don't know how, i don't know what, but i will start to try to light this world again. We are the lamplighters and the lamps need to be lit. Please take it on yourself, bring some light and start today.
(my little light)

The race for two seats on Fremont City Council this November is on, with community outreach and campaign kick-offs taking place for many in the nine-candidate contest.
Candidates are electronic manufacturing professional Syed Iqbal Ahmed, lawyer David Bonaccorsi, IT administrator Martin Froomin, retired Fremont police Officer Rick Jones, interpreter Nancy Liu, businessman Dirk Lorenz, Fremont Unified School District Boardmember Lily Mei, incumbent Councilmember Raj Salwan and community IT professional Rakesh Sharma.
There are two open positions. Salwan's four-year term comes to an end and Councilmember Anu Natarajan is terming out.
Syed Ahmed
Ahmed, a first-time candidate for city council, has lived in Fremont for the last 14 years and has served on Fremont Unified School District's financial advisory committee.
Ahmed, 52, works in the electronic manufacturing field, focusing on quality management. His company manufactures products for Fortune 100 firms.
Ahmed said his experience and leadership make him a prime candidate for the council.
"I have been working with and for Fortune 500 companies improving the quality of product and process and reducing cost," he said. "I built and managed a team of professionals and ... I will bring that skill and will work with other members of city council to improve the quality of living in Fremont by promoting and making Fremont a business hub."
If elected, Ahmed said he would like to beautify the city; work with the school district to address classroom overcrowding; explore more opportunities for Downtown revitalization; maintain open lines of communication with residents; promote green energy; and develop a program to promote small, minority and woman-based businesses.
Ahmed said he knows how to accomplish complex tasks and get results within tight timeframes while assuring fiscal control.
David Bonaccorsi
Born and raised in Fremont, Bonaccorsi, 53, spent the last seven years serving on the Fremont Planning Commission. He also chairs the Oversight Board to the Successor Agency of Fremont's dissolved redevelopment agency and has been involved with organizations such as Fremont Education Foundation, the city's Integrated Waste Management Advisory Committee, Abode Services and Fremont Unified School District's 2000 Health and Safety Bond, among others.
"I am running for city council ... because I care deeply about Fremont's future ... Fremont faces rapid growth and needs a leader who will preserve the community character of our neighborhoods. For the past seven years, as a Fremont planning commissioner, I helped shape Fremont's future with our general plan, Downtown and Warm Springs Community plans and the Climate Action Plan," Bonaccorsi said.
He added that given his years living and serving in this city he appreciates the challenges Fremont faces, and would like to make the city a great place to live, work and play, and to ensure continued quality of life.
If elected, Bonaccorsi said he hopes to continue working on developing the Warm Springs "Innovation hub" to bring in more high-tech and clean-tech companies, which may feature renewable energy projects to meet the city's economic challenges of being energy efficient, as well as create a vibrant, pedestrian-friendly downtown.
Martin Froomin
A Northern California native, Froomin has been a resident of Fremont for more than 11 years. He's itching to take on new challenges in the city.
Froomin, 49, an Oracle employee, said he is also president of the Fremont Cribbage Club and he loves to be involved in the community.
"Fremont is a great community, a great family community, but that needs to be maintained and kids need to have a safe place to play. We need to build community spirit and get people more involved," Froomin said. "They talk about the five districts, but we are one city and need to act like a city. The Downtown is just the start; they just started on that. We need to find a way to get people invested in staying in our community and enjoying each other's company."
He recalls growing up in Foster City, and how the summer concerts there would attract the whole city of almost 44,000. He questioned, why a city of more than 220,000 had so little community engagement -- a situation he would like to improve.
Froomin, who plainly states that he has no political experience, said he did not apply for any of the other city commissions because he did not want to "waste my time or anybody else's just sitting on a committee ... I wanted to join something where I could actually be working on something and making things happen."
Froomin said he would seek to improve the city's dining and entertainment options to keep residents engaged in Fremont.
Rick Jones
Jones is a familiar face here for his service as a Fremont Police Department officer and, more recently, as the vice chair of the Fremont Planning Commission. Jones has a history of serving the residents of Fremont, something he hopes to do in another capacity as a council member.
"I am a retired police officer, I worked for the city of Fremont for 29 years and I coach (junior varsity softball) at John F. Kennedy High School and I teach at the adult school," said Jones, 56, who ran for city council in 2012.
A 34-year Fremont resident, Jones was appointed to the planning commission by Mayor Bill Harrison in Feburary 2013.
"I decided a couple of years ago that I wanted to be more involved in the city," he said. "My wife is also a retired police officer and once I was retired I didn't want to stop serving the city. I want to be a part of the future Warm Springs Innovation District and the Downtown project."
Jones said he offers a strong background in public safety and mediation (he was a negotiator for the police department for 24 years), which allows him to view things from a different perspective than most people. Likewise, he said he has the vision of seeing Fremont transformed from the "bedroom community" it has been known as in the past into a model city for the high-tech, bio-tech and clean-tech sectors.
"We have a lot coming to Fremont. I would help with making Downtown and Warm Springs a much more prosperous area and along with that keep in mind our need to increase infrastructure in public safety services and city services to maintain that," he said.
Nancy Liu
Another longtime resident of Fremont, Liu has volunteered with the City of Fremont and the school district for more than 20 years.
Liu, 51, who is running for city council for the first time, works as a professional translator. She's had other jobs, including having been a newspaper reporter, staff at a social service agency, Chinese School Parent Teacher Association president (a position she still holds) and program manager at the American Cancer Society.
She said she's volunteered on projects such as landscaping Weibel Elementary School, while trying to stay water efficient.
Liu added conservation is one of her passions and something she would like to continue on a larger scale if elected to the council, which could include establishing a zero water landscape program for residential areas and information about how to save water, in addition to reducing the city's water bill by renovating each highway ramp on interstates 680 and 880 (to ease traffic on the highways) by using no water and low-maintenance designs.
Additionally, Liu would like to create a higher standard of building design in Fremont by having council members review building permits to ensure quality design, with free of charge consulting on residential building designs. She said she would also create a bike sharing program in conjunction with public transportation entities such as the Santa Clara Valley Transportation Authority.
Dirk Lorenz
A fourth-generation resident of Fremont, Lorenz, said he has great appreciation for the history of Fremont because he has experienced so much of it.
Lorenz, 54, is serving his ninth year on the Fremont Planning Commission; his eighth year chairing the Fremont Festival of the Arts; twice chairman of the board for the Fremont Chamber of Commerce; and also runs his own flower shop, the train depot and adjoining café. He previously ran for city council in 2004. He was first appointed to the planning commission to fill now-Assembleymember Bob Wieckowski's position, and was subsequently elected for two additional terms on the commission.
"At the time I was very dedicated to my service on the planning commission so I decided not to run until I termed out and that's why I am running again for council. I served for nine years and helped the council get through their general plan and had my hands in all those projects, and now they are coming into fruition and I am fully prepared to carry out those plans," Lorenz said. "So in electing me you are getting your nine years of working with the city and being able to take part in the process while being very knowledgeable of why we are here now."
Lorenz aded that he has a lot to offer, both through his service to the city for planning and transportation issues, and also by being a small business owner.
"I have a firm grasp of our future in so far as our housing need around our transit oriented development and a good vision for where we need to go in the future," he said.
If elected to council, Lorenz said he would like to supervise many of the projects the city is undertaking in the Warm Springs and Downtown area, in addition to allocating additional resources to public safety and maintenance, and public works projects that would improve roadwork and infrastructure and the quality of life for residents.
"I will serve my constituents with great customer service," Lorenz said.
Lily Mei
As a trustee of Fremont Unified School District's Board of Education (she also served as its president and vice president), Mei is serving her second term.
Mei, a Fremont resident for more than 20 years, has been involved in many school and community organizations since coming here, including managing a worldwide high-tech trade association (chairing global events and developing best practices with international entities); with various career roles in finance, channel marketing, strategic planning and sales operation roles; and president of the Asian Pacific Islander School Board Members Association for California. She has also been involved in Citizens for Better Community, Music for Minors II, Fremont Education Coalition, Abode Services and Safe Alternative to Violent Environments, among others.
If elected, Mei said she would work to maintain Fremont's fiscal accountability and balanced budgets, foster strong economic opportunities and job growth, ensure safe neighborhoods and provide excellent education and community services.
"I understand the importance of smart developments that won't overload city resources, but will focus on improving safety and our quality of life," said Mei, who is making her first run at council.
"As a member of the joint Fremont City Council and school board sub-committee, I've understood the importance of supporting smart development that won't overload our schools and city resources, and instead, will improve our lives here in Fremont," Mei said.
Mei added that having been elected to the school board in conjunction with her community and work experience make her a good candidate for council.
"Helping our city is nothing new to me," she said.
Raj Salwan
Salwan, the incumbent in this year's race, has lived in and been a part of the Fremont community almost all his life. Salwan has served the city and school district in many capacities. He was appointed to the council in January 2013.
A veterinarian in Fremont, Salwan, 40, has served as chairperson for the Fremont Chamber of Commerce and Human Relations Commission; was a member of the planning commission and served on the boards of Fremont Education Foundation, Kidango and Abode Services. He added that his background in government, business and community make him a good candidate for re-election.
"I think I have a record of getting things done in Fremont ... we have already attracted more businesses, made Fremont a more attractive place to live ... invested back into police and fire departments ... and collaborated with the school district unlike ever before ... we continue to get better as we recover from the recession," said Salwan, who has lived in the city for 33 years. "I want to continue to work to make Fremont as great a city as the residents who live here, I want work hard to get the Downtown off the ground and continue to invest back into street maintenance, senior services, parks and libraries. I also want to make sure we have fine dining, high-end retail and quality entertainment so our residents have something to do when they are here."
Salwan said he wants to improve the quality of life, invest in public safety and ensure the economic development of the city, in addition to championing the diversity present in the community and advance plans for the Downtown currently under construction.
Rakesh Sharma
As a former planning commissioner for eight years, Sharma helped develop the Fremont General Plan and hopes to see it come to fruition if elected to the council.
Rakesh, 65, who ran for city council in 2002 and 2012, sits on the boards of a number of nonprofits. He is retired from a career in academia, working on cancer research for 18 years at Stanford University and then teaching at a medical school in the Caribbean.
Sharma, a 25-year resident, is the chair of the Ohlone College Foundation and a member of several bond oversight committees, Life ElderCare and Salvation Army. He is also past president of the Niles Rotary Club.
He added that having worked and lived in Japan, the Caribbean and Texas gives him a global perspective, in addition to his work with city entities that gave him a clear understanding of how the government works.
"I am committed to the city of Fremont and I really want to help the city be in a better position by supporting businesses and I have some different ideas about how to bring businesses to the Downtown especially biomedical companies, which is my background," Sharma said.
If elected, Sharma said he would like to grow jobs and public safety; increase the amount of affordable housing available in the city; make city government more accessible and user-friendly to residents; and pay more attention to the role small builders can play versus large builders in the construction of the Downtown and Warm Springs areas.
"I am ready to move the city forward," he added.
