State Rep. Paul DeMarco, R-Homewood, said he believes a consensus can be reached on a bipartisan bill that would generate additional revenue for the county while imposing efficiencies on Alabama's largest local government.
'We're getting towards the end of the session, so we're trying to get close to where we need to be to vote on the bills,' DeMarco said.
DeMarco said he was optimistic of bipartisan support because the discussions are far more comprehensive than just raising revenues by also addressing accountability and efficiencies.
The clock is running for Jefferson County, which in November filed the largest government bankruptcy in U.S. history and is rapidly spending its cash reserves.
One of the key problems facing the county is the collapse of its general fund revenue after the Alabama Supreme Court killed an occupational tax thatgenerated about $66 million a year for the county. The court ruled that the state Legislature made procedural errors when it approved that tax. Any new revenue source for the county must be approved by the Legislature, which now has a maximum of nine meeting days left in its current session that ends by May 21.
Monday's discussion will come less than a week after a group of Jefferson County legislators rejected a plan by state Rep. Demetrius Newton, D-Birmingham, to let the Jefferson County Commission impose an occupational tax that would raise about $60 million a year.
DeMarco said a number of bills are under consideration to generate revenue and create efficiencies at the county. He declined to discuss a specific bill.
But some lawmakers say one bill that has been advertised is consistent with a framework suggested by some members of the business community, and has garnered support among some Democrats and Republicans. That bill would:
> Collect and sunset no later than Sept. 30, 2015, an occupational tax of 0.45 percent on wages earned in Jefferson County.
> Establish by Jan. 1, 2013, an independent health care authority to operate Cooper Green Mercy Hospital.
> Require the technology to reform the budgetary and accounting systems in Jefferson County to increase efficiency and save money.
Any proposal that comes before the delegation is likely to meet resistance.
Last week, only three members of the House of Representatives who represent Jefferson County voted for Newton's job tax plan, and 12 voted against it. The committee also voted down an almost identical occupational tax bill by Newton by a 12-2 vote.
There are some elements of the bill being considered that lawmakers believe they can support, although finding consensus on the occupational tax and the future of Cooper Green Mercy Hospital remain a challenge.
As they have been for nearly two years now, lawmakers appear to be split over whether to pass a law authorizing a new county occupational tax or one removing earmarks on tax money now reserved for the county's indigent care fund.
Some lawmakers oppose unearmarking, especially of money dedicated to Cooper Green and the county health department. Others have been just as resistant to reinstating the job tax, saying they oppose any taxes.
"We're looking at Cooper Green tightening up its operations, but then we have to come to an agreement on the occupational tax," said Rep. Rod Scott, D-Fairfield. "We may run into opposition from surrounding counties when something gets down on the floor. I'm trying to assess how many of those surrounding county legislators are going to put up a fight" over an occupational tax. Such a tax affects all who work in Jefferson County, where the vast majority of jobs in metro Birmingham are located, regardless of where they live.
Rep. Mary Sue McClurkin, R-Indian Springs Village, who represents parts of Shelby County, said legislators who represents counties near Jefferson will not support an occupational tax.
"When you add up those people that represent counties surrounding Jefferson, that's a lot of folks," McClurkin said. "They don't want their constituents to have to pay an occupational tax for Jefferson County. . . . People just don't want to have another income tax and that's what an occupational tax is." McClurkin said she could support a compromise that involves some unearmarking at Cooper Green and "maybe a short-term occupational tax . . . not just a continuous occupational tax. I just can't do that."
The executive committee of the Birmingham Business Alliance has endorsed the expiration of the occupational tax "upon repayment of the debt associated with the county's 1-cent sales tax and a reauthorization of that 1-cent tax to support the general fund," according to a release issued by the BBA. "This requirement provides certainty that the occupational tax will end. It also provides long-term support to the county for general fund operations."
State Rep. Jack Williams, R-Vestavia Hills, has suggested in a proposed bill ending the occupational tax when the bonds funded by a 1-cent county sales tax for education are paid off. That proposal would allow the county to keep collecting the penny-on-the-dollar sales tax, but earmarking 20 percent of its revenue for the University of Alabama at Birmingham.
One penny on the local sales tax generates about $87 million a year in Jefferson County, depending on the economy. The school bonds are scheduled to be paid off between 2017 and 2019.
Dire consequences
The BBA recently issued a statement urging the Jefferson County legislative delegation "to take rapid, reasonable and responsible actions to prevent long-term economic damage to Jefferson County." The consequences of not acting, the group said, are dire.
Specifically, the BBA supports the following framework:
> Implement an occupational tax of no more than 0.45 percent.
> Require that the occupational tax stay in effect long enough to restore the county's financial stability and to enable the county to emerge from bankruptcy.
> Develop a long-range strategy to provide efficient, high-quality indigent health care in Jefferson County.
> Create a bipartisan health care authority, including subject matter experts, to manage indigent health care.
> Establish and pay for a way to improve the quality of the accounting and financial functions at the county to ensure the county can produce timely, accurate and transparent financial data to the public.
"Our county, region and state have already suffered significant damage in terms of image and reputation by virtue of the county's bankruptcy," the executive committee of the BBA wrote. "Additional reductions in essential governmental services resulting from further draconian cuts in the county's budget will only make these problems worse. "Absent a successful solution in this session of the Legislature, the damage done will almost certainly diminish the quality of life and the economic vitality of our region for many, many years to come. We respectfully but urgently call on our elected officials to take the appropriate action to resolve these issues now."

EFF Joins Amicus Brief Urging Ohio Supreme Court to Find Warrantless GPS Tracking Unconstitutional
EFF recently joined several legal defense organizations, law professors and others to urge the Ohio Supreme Court to rule that warrantless surveillance of a car with a GPS tracking device violates the Fourth Amendment's prohibition against unreasonable searches and seizures.
In State v. Johnson, the police planted a GPS tracking device on a van without a search warrant. They proceeded to monitor the van for days, ultimately tracking its movement from Cincinnati to Chicago. The Court of Appeals found that the police didn't violate the Fourth Amendment's guarantee against unreasonable search and seizure because the tracking didn't constitute a "search."
Joining an amicus brief filed by the National Association of Criminal Defense Lawyers (NACDL), the Ohio Association of Criminal Defense Lawyers, the Center for Democracy and Technology, the First Amendment Lawyers Association, the ACLU of Ohio, the Office of the Ohio Public Defender, and seven law professors, EFF warned the Ohio Supreme Court that such prolonged surveillance and monitoring implicates an individual's right to privacy. Simply traveling on a public road does not mean law enforcement can know your every move at any time of the day, wherever you go, whether it is to see your lawyer, doctor, priest or lover. Plus, warrantless GPS surveillance allows law enforcement to access private property they wouldn't be authorized to enter by simply following a car.
NACDL counsel on the brief were Michael Price and Ravert J. Clark, who served as EFF's local counsel.

Mom Theresa Cabel has two active, healthy children.
"Scarlet and Harrison; four and one."
When it came to Harrison, his one Achilles' heel was his ears.
"About every month we would be going to a doctor to get it checked out," says Cabel.
Ear infections are one of the most common reasons behind visits to the pediatrician.
"Partly because little kids get more infections and partly because their anatomy is set up in such a way it puts them at risk," says Dr. Eric Jones, a pediatrician with The Children's Hospital of Southwest Florida.
Especially in children under three, the immature drainage system in their ear is unlike that of an adult. Adults have ear tubes that sit vertically allowing gravity to drain fluid. It's not the case in young children.
"In little babies and kids under three it's more horizontal and flat so it's not very affective. So they have a tendency to build up fluid and build up air pressure and if it sits that fluid sits in there long enough you can develop an ear infection," says Dr. Jones.
If the ear infections are too frequent, it presents additional concerns about overuse of antibiotics. Doctors have an approximate guideline: If the child has three infections in six months or four in a year, it might be time to talk about ear tubes.
"Ear tubes are supposed to kind of take the place of that non functional drainage tube in the backside of the ear. It's a vent basically through the eardrum," says Dr. Jones.
It's a minor surgery performed under anesthesia that takes about twenty minutes.
"A little incision is made in the eardrum and then the plastic tube is placed through that incision. Usually they'll fall out within six months to eighteen months," says Dr. Jones.
Little Harrison was on the cusp of getting ear tubes but the infection frequency died down.
"All the medicines he was having to take, that was a possibility for him if it didn't get cleared up soon," says Cabel.
Ear tubes can often be a good solution to ease the pains of childhood.

In a competition to create the most original and compelling public service announcement promoting libraries to teens, the team of Malcolm Minor and Nicole Thompson, from the Malcolm X. Shabazz High School took top honors for their spot "Baby Come Back," which will air on New Jersey Network from Sept.13-24 at 7:29 p.m. The well-written and produced parody of a Geico Insurance commercial has a library book with eyes trying to convince a young girl to come back to the library. The piece was filmed at the East Brunswick Public Library.
The competition was sponsored by the NJ State Library and the Newark Public Library. "We asked teens at the schools in Newark with video programs to create public service announcements aimed at teens not using the library to give the library a try," said Nancy Dowd, director of marketing for the NJ State Library. "We knew these teens were very creative and wanted their voice to encourage their peers to go to the library." It is hoped the program would serve as a model for other communities to form library/school partnerships to promote more teens using the library.
Second place honors went to a team from East Side High for "Groundbreaking Literacy Device." Third place honors were shared by another team from East Side High for "OMG He's in the Public Library," and the students from Arts High School for "The Library - Where Imagination Happens."
"The students from these schools have remarkable abilities and a definite insight on what is important to them and teens in general," said Paul Pattwell, administrator of the Newark Public Library. "Their knowledge and perception about the importance of libraries, to both them and their community, is evidenced in these films, as is their technical ability and creative spirit in front of and behind the camera. Having seen the final product, I am left with a clear notion that despite the many competing influences and distractions facing our teens, daily, libraries remain an integral part their lives."
Minor is now attending Ramapo College; Thompson is attending The College of New Jersey.

United Synagogue rabbis have voiced concern at the impact of the Jewish Community Secondary School (JCoSS), the first cross-communal Jewish secondary school, which is due to open in Barnet next year.
They made their anxieties plain at a session with US lay leaders during the annual US rabbinical conference in Hemel Hempstead.
Rabbi Yitzchak Schochet, chairman of the US Rabbinical Council, said an open session to discuss matters of concern "included a conversation about JCoSS. A unanimous view was expressed across the whole spectrum of rabbis that JCoSS does not represent the ethos of the United Synagogue and as such is not an option for anyone seeking to give their child a Jewish education in keeping with that ethos.
"We further recognised the need to do more to promote the many wonderful Orthodox Jewish schools in our community."
Another rabbi observed that JCoSS "is not an Orthodox school but is trying to attract Orthodox children. If United members decided to send their children to a non-Orthodox school, obviously we wouldn't be happy about it.
"One of the things that rabbis are keen to avoid is bad feeling that might drive people into the arms of the school. So that's why they want to play it low-key."
US chief executive Jeremy Jacobs and joint-treasurer Russell Tenzer were among guests at the ground-breaking ceremony for JCoSS last month.
According to the JCoSS website, its Jewish studies will reflect the "broad intake" of pupils and "no child should be excluded on the basis of religious observance". Interviews for a director of Jewish education were taking place this week.
The school is sending information packs to Jewish and other schools in a number of boroughs and meetings for the parents of prospective pupils include one next month at Simon Marks Jewish Primary in Hackney. A JCoSS spokesman reported "a lot of interest from every section of the community".

90 Points | Stephen Tanzer's IWC - September/October 2008
($25) Pale silver. Stony, sharply focused aromas of pear, green apple and minerals. Juicy citrus and orchard fruit flavors deliver good intensity and palate-staining concentration, picking up tangy minerality with air. Finishes broad and fleshy but with good mineral lift and cut. Reminds me of off-dry German riesling.

This Xbox 360 Wired SCUF controller is perfect for the Pro-gamer who wants all the functional features, but is on a tight budget or not bothered about design. As with all wired SCUF controllers, the wired connection allows for the fastest possible response and is being used by Pro Gamers all over the World and is MLG, EGL, WGL approved for use in competitions to mention just a few!
*** All Our Wired Controllers are MLG, EGL, WGL, etc competiton approved***
All pro gamers will recognize the advantage the paddles give in FPS/ Shooter games as you do not have to remove your thumb from the analogue stick to perform flying dropshots and melee actions. See some of these impressive moves performed by SCUF sponsored pro gamers on our YouTube channel….
As all competetive players will know a split second can make all the difference to the outcome of a match. The features of the SCUF controller are aimed at saving you these split seconds in your gameplay and also open up dropshots, flying dropshots and some awesome moves to every player.
Functional Benefits of SCUF Controllers
The Paddles – SCUF Gaming have developed and patented 2 paddles on the reverse of the controller which can mimic any 2 of the A, B, X, Y, D-pad, Start, Back, LB, RB or Joy Stick push down functions (For wireless you can only choose A, B, X, Y, LB, RB, Joystick Push Down Functions). By pressing the paddles with your unused middle finger on each hand, you are able to utilize 50% more of your hand in an ergonomic and natural way. These paddles operate any 2 functions, allowing your thumb to continue aiming as you, for example, jump (A) or knife (B) in games such as Call Of Duty. This system ensures you are constantly in control of your aim for deadly accuracy.
The Adjustable Hair triggers – Almost every Shooter Game firing system requires you to depress the trigger a considerable amount before you actually aim and shoot! SCUF Controllers allow you to shoot and aim as soon as you touch the triggers, which reduce your reaction time considerably. Weapon fire becomes far more responsive, with each shot requiring just a tap. Every weapon becomes more deadly and the triggers can be fully adjusted to suit every type of player and game.
Trigger Stops – As an optional add-on feature, Scuf Gaming offer the trigger stop mechanism. This is ideal for Games like Call Of Duty and Gears of War where the sweet spot is in a single place for all trigger functions. The trigger stops prevent the trigger from moving in any further after the shot/ aim has been initiated. This saves further precious split seconds and is another must have feature for hard-core gamers.
The Domed Sticks – Scuf Gaming allow you the option to custom select concave or domed shaped right and left sticks. When using a Controller and especially in Shooter Games, each thumb is required to do very different motions. Your movement thumb makes large, deliberate movements, while your aiming thumb requires subtle, smoother movement to ensure precision aiming. In order to reflect this, Scuf Gaming offer the option of our longer, more grippy Dome Shaped sticks. For Shooter Games we recommend a Right Domed Aim Stick as the extra length allows you to aim with more accuracy. Each millimeter of movement translates to less on the screen, and the dome ensures you only move as much as you need!
No SLOW Turn – All SCUF Controllers come with NO SLOW TURN GUARANTEE! Scuf Gaming have been very aware of SLOW TURN issues on the majority of controllers. Slow Turn is when you move the thumb sticks and the reaction equates to less than 100%. While this is fairly trivial and goes unnoticed by casual gamers, in the competitive gaming scene and especially with FPS (First Person Shooters) games it becomes a serious disadvantage in gameplay. A slow turn of below 98% can be the difference between winning and losing! Recently, Scuf Gaming has noticed that many controllers have slow turn issues of 89% or less, which is clearly a real problem for serious gamers.
SCUF Grip – We offer the option for you to add SCUF Grip to your controller, so you can keep control while others lose theirs. We treat and apply several layers of military grade Weaponary Grip Paint to the underside of the controller, which prevents the controller from sliding in your hands. This is particularly useful if your hands get hot in game play!
Remove Rumble Packs – If you would like the ultimate light weight controller, have the rumble pack's vibration motors carefully removed from the controller body.
SCUF Seal of Approval – SCUF Controllers are fully approved for use in Competitions across the World to include MLG, EGL, WGL… We fit every controller with a tamper-proof "SCUF Seal of Approval" which ensures SCUF authenticity.

REEEP Calls for Clean Energy Projects with Growth Potential
23 August 2012: The Renewable Energy and Energy Efficiency Partnership (REEEP) has released a Call for Proposals for its ninth programme cycle, focusing specifically on projects with large potential for clean energy growth. As the maximum amount of funding per project is limited to €150,000, REEEP will give preference to projects that can provide proof of co-funding from other sources.
According to Martin Hiller, REEEP's Director General, the Call aims to find "tipping point" projects that can "push clean energy solutions up the growth curve, as opposed to one-off pilot projects."
The Call for Proposals identifies five key thematic areas: scaling up successful business models for clean energy; supporting decentralized and off-grid generation; harnessing the benefits of clean energy in food production; employing clean energy in providing reliable water supply; and opening up energy data in emerging markets.
The Call also identifies priority countries in two tiers. Tier One countries are: Brazil, China, Colombia, Ethiopia, Ghana, India, Indonesia, Kenya, Liberia, Peru, South Africa and Viet Nam. Tier Two countries include: Bangladesh, Benin, Burkina Faso, Chad, Lao People's Democratic Republic, Mozambique, Nepal, Nicaragua, Niger, United Republic of Tanzania, and Tunisia.
By mid-December 2012 the 30 successful projects that will receive funding will be announced. This ninth funding round is supported by the Governments of Norway, Switzerland and the UK.

When the repair guys came and removed the panel, they went to the truck to get the new panel and it was also cracked. After this they finally agreed to buy me out of the television. I now have a Panny VT30 and I will never buy another Samsung product.
I'm not sure how many people are affected by this phenomenon but I know 8 people in the St. Louis area who had this problem. We all know that not everyone will complain about this issue and in speaking to a friend at BB he let me know this is a well documented and prevalent issue. Samsung will deny every claim unless the person is willing to fight.

Platoby David Sedley Alex Long
The Clitophon, a dialogue generally ascribed to Plato, is significant for focusing on Socrates' role as an exhorter of other people to engage in philosophy. It was almost certainly intended to bear closely on Plato's Republic and is a fascinating specimen of the philosophical protreptic, an important genre very fashionable at the time. This is the first critical edition of this dialogue to be published in nearly seventy years. Professor Slings here provides a text based on new examination of all relevant manuscripts and accompanies it with a translation. His extensive introduction studies philosophical exhortation in the classical era, and tries to account for Plato's dialogues in general as a special type of exhortation. The Clitophon is seen as a defence of the Platonic dialogue. The commentary, the first ever to be published in English, elucidates the Greek and discusses many passages where the meaning is not entirely clear.

Dangerous intersections: City to fix downtown streetsUPDATED 5:35 PM MDT Aug 19, 2014
Kirsten reportsVideo Transcript
DIRECTION TO BE CAREFUL, AND EXPECT DELAYS. SOME STREETS THROUGH DOWNTOWN ARE GETTING A FACELIFT. THAT'S AFTER THE CITY DID A STUDY, AND FOUND CERTAIN INTERSECTIONS ARE MUCH MORE DANGEROUS THAN OTHERS. KOAT ACTION 7 NEWS REPORTER KIRSTEN SWANSON IS LIVE AT ONE OF THOSE INTERSECTIONS TO EXPLAIN. DOUG AND SHELLY, 12TH STREET AND LOMAS GETS A LOT OF TRAFFIC DURING THIS TIME OF DAY. THE CARS TURN AND SPEED INTO THIS NEIGHBORHOOD. AND THE PEOPLE THAT LIVE HERE SAY IT'S A BIG PROBLEM, ONE THAT THE CITY PLANS TO FIX. SUSAN DEICHSEL KNOWS THOUSANDS OF CARS TRAVEL HER STREETS EVERY DAY. BUT THEY ARE NOT CARS THAT BELONG TO HER NEIGHBORS. These are folks that live in the suburbs and who are trying as quickly as they can to get home. Cars speeding off from light SHE SAYS WHEN PEOPLE LEAVE DOWNTOWN, SHARING THE ROAD IS NEARLY IMPOSSIBLE. It's dangerous THE CITY RECENTLY FOUND THAT OUT TOO. A STUDY RELEASED IN JULY LOOKED AT THE NUMBER OF CRASHES IN THE DOWNTOWN AREA. THESE THREE INTERSECTIONS ON LOMAS BOULEVARD HAD SOME OF THE HIGHEST CRASH RATES IN ALBUQUERQUE. SO, DID THESE SIX INTERSECTIONS ALONG MOUNTAIN. AND BIG TRAFFIC HEADACHES ARE COMMON AT THIS INTERSECTION. Here at 12th and mountain none of the stop lights have left-hand turn lanes, so you can see when someone's turning left, they have to wait for pedestrians or traffic. All of those cars back up into the neighborhood. This problem is compounded at rush hour. sadly not all of our commuters drive as though they were driving through their own neighborhood BUT THE CITY COUNCIL DECIDED MONDAY TO START IMPROVING HOW TRAFFIC MOVES THROUGH THAT PART OF THE CITY. CREWS WILL PUT IN SPEED BUMPS AND HANG MORE SIGNS. I believe that just those simple fixes by themselves are going to slow down traffic BUT RESTRIPING INTERSECTIONS LIKE 12TH AND MOUNTAIN TO INCLUDE A LEFT-HAND TURN LANE AND WIDEN SIDEWALKS HERE ON LOMAS WILL TAKE MUCH MORE TIME... AND MONEY COUNCILMAN BENTON SAYS THE EASY FIXES SHOULD BE DONE WITHIN ONE YEAR. THE CITY ALREADY HAS MONEY TO MOVE FORWARD ON THOSE PROJECTS. REPORTING LIVE IN DOWNTOWN ALBUQUERQUE KIRSTEN SWANSON, KOAT ACTION 7 NEWS. THE MORE COMPLEX PROJECTS WILL NEED TO BE BUDGETED BY THE CITY. THE TOTAL COST OF ALL THE FIXES COULD COST MORE THAN $340-THOUSAND DOLLARS. A MAN IS FACING NEW

Does anyone know if a Dillon XL650 has a pre-manufactured stand that takes up very little room, yet keeps the press consistent and accurate? I have nowhere to mount my benches in this rental.

Are you talking about something like the "strong mount" or a bench to attach the entire unit to?
April 30, 2009, 09:50 PM
Bench, or more like a stand-alone mount.
April 30, 2009, 09:56 PM
I saw a Frankford Arsenal stand that claimed it would handle the RL550, but my 650 has the casefeed and thought that it would be unstable on such a small stand.
April 30, 2009, 10:32 PM
I use a Franford Arsenal. I have no problem with it. I use a Single Stage press on it though.
I got pics if you need them PM me.
April 30, 2009, 10:43 PM
Thanks for the tip... I was going to make a loading leaf for my kitchen table (obviously I'm once again a bachelor), but I realized that the RCBS would be mounted opposite of the Dillon, and I'd have nowhere to put the trimmer, powder measure, etc... but they are all mounted on 10" pieces of 2X4 so that I could swap them out on the bench to save space. The light bulb came on when you were saying that you have your single stage on the Frankford Arsenal stand. Problem solved. The Dillon WILL be in the loading leaf, the RCBS will have the FA. I was being narrow minded. Thanks again Eb1!!
April 30, 2009, 11:31 PM
If you are a Bachelor, there is always the kitchen counter,
May 1, 2009, 12:17 AM
That only works if you intend to remain a bachelor.
May 1, 2009, 01:34 PM
Try a microwave cart - they're small, fairly stable, easy to move around, and run around $100. They usually have plenty of room, and include shelving to store your toys.
May 1, 2009, 01:46 PM
Thank you.
May 1, 2009, 04:23 PM
I mounted my Rock Chucker on a dresser that my ex-wife left. She hated my guns, so I figured it was a perfect work bench for my reloading.

The Cooperative Retreat
Welcome to the concept of the cooperative retreat. This means that each person will bring a portion of food to contribute to the menu, and to help with kitchen duties and clean up. Of course, we will have terrific food. The meals will be thoughtfully and deliciously prepared, offering mostly vegetarian cuisine. We will offer dairy free and gluten-free alternatives for those with sensitivities.
Mind Body Spa
Builds community as it creates the space for folks to fully relax and experience authentic connection to self and others who wish to achieve mind/body/spirit balance. Come share your unique self with others and be enriched by the deep healing you will find here.
Jeanette Chardon, MSW "I believe in the ability of each retreat participant to heal themselves and others. I believe in the synergy of group intention and dynamics. When we call each other to our highest and best, when we expect that of each other, the community that we form is incredibly powerful. Each retreat is a powerful and supportive community in which we are safe to be our true, beautiful, delicious selves."
Emily Rowan "I'm a modern shaman, kitchen magician, artist extraordinaire and devotee of sacred storytelling. My work (and my cooking) is flavored by many traditions and cultures from around the world because the Wisdom of The Way is found everywhere."

Hi! My name is Cocoa
I am a Siamese from Raeford, NC
Nicknames: Pebbles, Friskies, Fur Ball, Puddy Tat, and Miss Kitty.
Age: 8 years old
Gender: F
Coat: short haired
Education: I am only 1 month old, and I am litter box trained, so that's good. Actually, I do know some cool stunts. Whenever I play with my owner when he uses the elephant tied to the string, I will accidentally slip on the kitchen floor and do double front flips and land on my back against the cupboard.
My favorite tricks and treats are: Hey, I'm still learning for meowing out loud! I would call using the litter box a trick for my age if you ask me. and I get milk from my owner every once in a while, but not to often.
Where I hang out: I love to hide under furniture at almost anytime. I also love to play in my owner's room. But most of all, I just love to be around people.
My favorite grubs: My favorite grub is anything that has lots of protein. I also love milk:)
My pet peeves: My pet peeves are when I'm held against my will and when I get scolded when I slightly go over board with playing. Also I hate when my family leaves me home for hours. I make up for what I lost for playing and my owner gets upset.
What I love about my owners: I love pretty much everything about my owner except when he scolds me for little stuff, and when holds me for long periods of time. He is real fun to play with.
My cat hobbies: I LOVE TO PLAY!!! PLAY, PLAY, and PLAY constantly. There are only a few times when I am calm and tired, but that's it.
Pet motto: Go to freewebs. com/cocoathekit- ty if you wanna learn more about me and how I am doing on a day to day basis. The site is updated daily.
See all awards »
I was a present for my owner on his birthday. He was really surprised when he first laid eyes on me. He still takes care of me very good, plays with me a lot, and cuddles with me too before we go to sleep. I am a real lucky kitty to be a pet for someone like him.

Partnerships with the community are the fuel that powers the Fort Lupton Food and Clothing Bank. In what is becoming a tradition, the annual teaming with the American legion is a vital component. This year, the Legion handed over another $1,000, proceeds resulting from fundraising efforts including the Third Annual Run For The Food Bank Benefit Poker Run.
Sponsored by Post 102, the event featured the poker run for cars and motorcycles, a raffle and auction, and a pig roast for participants.
Food bank and American legion volunteer Carla Partridge, working with a team of volunteers, collected donations for the raffle and the run, with all proceeds going to the food bank.
"We started this three years ago, running low on monies. I thought, 'Well, something fun to do and summertime is coming, let's do a benefit poker run,'" Partridge said.
Normally run in June, this year's benefit wound up in August, due to so many events competing for participants citywide this year. No matter, the event wound up a big success for all, with some hefty donations arriving for the food bank.
"We have two checks from the American Legion, as well as Paul Fazzini who decided to donate to the barbecue, as a well as Marilyn Bangert, who donates every year very generously a pig as well as processing," Partridge said. "We couldn't do it without her."
The money will come in very handy for the organization, which recently replaced some coolers.
"We had a grant from Platte Calley Medical Center, supposedly for food," Food Bank Director Lucille Dahlberg said. "Our food donations kept coming in and coming in. When the cooler situation came up, I called and asked them if it was possible that we could use that money for coolers to keep the perishable items that were coming in."
"This will help keep the coolers donated by Platte Valley ... running for the next five months to keep the perishable food donated by Safeway, Anders Farms, Sakata Farms and House of Smoke," Dahlberg said in a statement. Dahlberg offered "a big, big thank you to anyone that has given anything from an hour of time to a can of food, an item of clothing, to the envelope with 20 $100 bills to help the food and clothing bank."
Finally, she asked readers to watch for the announcement of how they can join in on the upcoming city and schools "Circle the Circle Christmas Food Drive."

The SAW-MAG™ offers for the first time a reliable and efficient AR-15 Drum Magazine. The SAW-Mag 150 round magazine for the AR15 pattern .223/5.56mm rifle and all weapons accepting AR-15 / AR15 / M16 magazines using the STANAG 4179 standard.
Update 4-6-2015: in stock.
The online price reflects 419.00 MSRP + credit card fee
Designed to fit NATO standard (STANAG-4179) rifles, the SAW-MAG™ quickly converts a rifleman with a standard M4 into automatic support personnel. The flexibility of such force multiplication makes the SAW-MAG™ the most dominant accessory for the M4/M16/M27/HK416 family of weapons.
The SAW-MAG™ is a hybrid design externally constructed of thick walled long glass polymer and steel. This allows the magazine to have the durability to survive real world conditions. The hardened steel USGI tower allows it to fit into any weapon that accepts the 30 round standard magazine. All parts are from production tooling for precision and economics.
The SAW-MAG™ was designed to have the lowest operating drag due to friction. The ammunition is contained individually inside the drums on sprockets, each cartridge gets its own separate space, the ammunition is picked off the sprockets when they spin, not a typical high friction convergence found on cheaper designs. This is why our system does not require graphite lubrication to work. Instead of funnelling the ammunition, the SAW-MAG™ uses a proprietary design that allows the ammunition to always be in a singular stream which results in a very low friction operation.
Weight 4.9 lbs empty
8.0 lbs loaded
The Molle Carry Bag adds 0.8 lbs

The Austin Toros should look more like the Spurs than ever
The Austin Toros are thought of by many as the NBA D-League's flagship program. They are consistently a top team in the D-League standings and enjoy one of the strongest relationships between parent program and affiliate.
And then this summer, they went and improved things some more.
Gone are the Toros from the Austin Convention Center. Now the Toros play in the fancy Cedar Park Center, a 6800 set arena in the Cedar Park suburb of Austin. Away from the gargantuan shadow of the University of Texas and into the neighborhoods the Toros primarily market to.
As a result, the Toros also left the Parque Zaragoza Recreation Center on the east side of Austin, where the team used to practice. Now the Toros use the Cedar Park Recreation Center, a facility closer to the team's new home.
Quin Snyder is gone too. The former head coach of the Toros joined Doug Collins' staff with the Philadelphia 76ers. Brad Jones, formerly the head coach of the D-League's Utah Flash, is the new head coach and he's excited about the job.
"I felt like this was one of the best organizations in the league, in the D-League," Coach Jones said at the Toros' media day on Tuesday. "And since I've been here, probably seven weeks now, it's proven out to be that, plus some."
Last season, Coach Snyder mentioned after a game that he liked to play at a fast pace in the D-League, because it was easier to get guys to buy into the team concept when everyone knew they were going to put up good numbers.
"I think they averaged like 113 points a game last year," Coach Jones said. "I don't know if we'll average that. We're definitely going to play an up-tempo pace. But at the same time we're going to play hopefully where the ball's moving, guys get a lot of touches and — like I told these guys — so guys can show their talent and what they can do within the framework of our team system."
This year's version of the Toros should look and play a lot like the big club in San Antonio. Chatting with assistant coaches Tyler Jenkins and Alex Lloyd, they mentioned that last year they had a much more experimental playbook. Presumably with Coach Snyder in his third season coaching the team, he had a grasp on the San Antonio system.
But with a new head coach, the playbook has been pared down to the basics of the Spurs system. For example, where every offensive play the Spurs run in San Antonio has a first, second, third, and sometimes a fourth, option. The Toros playbook may only include the first two options for each play. The system in Austin is enough so that if a player were to be called-up to San Antonio, he would at least have a basic grasp on the system and wouldn't be lost.
With the team's first game of the season tonight against the Maine Red Claws in Portland, ME, it'll be interesting to see how much this year's team has absorbed of the system.
Some other notes from Toros media day:
- I talked to Marcus Cousin for a few minutes about going to training camp with the Spurs. I attempted to get him to tell me all the dirty big man tricks that Tim Duncan and Antonio McDyess taught him. He tried to tell me there's no such things, but I don't believe him.
- The NBA uses the D-League as a way to experiment and test new ideas. I was curious if the Spurs did the same thing and tested out new ideas in Austin, in terms of plays, defense, etc. and I asked Coach Jones about it. He told me that he hadn't been on the job long enough for those requests to really be passed to him yet, but did say that the Spurs have the Toros testing a new sports nutrition and sports medicine plan that's a bit of a secret. If I can learn any more about this and pass it along, I will.

They took his wallet, his cell phone and his Nike Air Raid sneakers, but when thieves broke into Brian Angel's locker at the Bronx's Crotona Pool last summer, he was worried about losing only one thing: his T-shirt. "Even when I was young, I would wear a shirt to go swimming," he says. "I'd want to play basketball and take my shirt off, but I couldn't. I could never even sleep without a shirt on."
No, Angel doesn't suffer from a case of extreme modesty—but, rather, an extreme condition called gynecomastia, an enlargement of the breasts in men. (See box, right.) Typically the result of hormone fluctuations during puberty or excess fat, some doctors believe gynecomastia has risen as the number of overweight teens shot up 7 percent in the last decade. It is estimated that between 40 and 60 percent of all men have had some degree of gynecomastia at some point in their lives. The condition is persistent in about 8 percent of those cases.
And yet instead of simply enduring what is, for many, a source of shame, more and more boys and men are opting to undergo breast reduction surgery: In 2006, over 19,000 men—70 percent of whom, like Angel, were teenagers—had their breasts reduced, an increase of 22 percent from the year before. "This is something these patients have been embarrassed about since they were 12 or 13 years old," says Dr. David Staffenberg, a plastic surgeon at the Bronx's Montefiore Medical Center, who performed Angel's surgery. "So when they find out that something can be done, it's a real relief."
But the increased reliance on surgery to correct a problem that can, in many cases, either be outgrown during puberty or resolved through diet and exercise has provoked controversy in some corners of the medical community. "Most of the time, gynecomastia just goes away naturally," explains Dr. Roxanne Guy, president of the American Society of Plastic Surgeons. In our image-conscious culture, however, it's understandable that boys bombarded with shirtless photos of Matthew McConaughey and David Beckham "can't wait for it to go away," Guy says, adding that doctors generally consider age 16 (or the end of puberty) as the earliest point at which a teen should opt for breast-reduction surgery.
Angel, 17, waited as long as he could before going under the knife. By the time he visited a doctor last fall, his breasts—which started growing when he was 12—had filled out to almost a C cup. The doctor's initial recommendation for the 5'11", 208-lb. Angel? Lose weight. Within 9 months, Angel had dropped 40 lbs. by going vegan, but "the breasts were still there," he says. "Actually, they were worse, because my gut was in, so they looked more prominent. I was really depressed."
Teased by his friends for having "manboobs," Angel would try to disguise his figure by wearing "a tank top under my shirt and tuck it in really tight so it would bring them down." But that trick didn't work in gym class. "I could see people watching and making fun of [them bouncing] up and down," he says. "They'd shout, 'Get a bra!' I was like, I can't deal with this for the rest of my life."
After researching options on the Internet, Brian asked his mother, Deborah, 53, a retired human resources manager, about surgery. "I was a bit uncomfortable with it," she admits. "But I had to be there for him. I felt like [the gynecomastia] would only hinder him." And so on July 11, Angel underwent an 80-min. operation (the $4,000 tab was covered by insurance), during which Dr. Staffenberg removed more than 1.5 lbs. of breast tissue and excess skin and affixed Angel's areolas to a new position on his chest.
Despite battling physical pain the night after the operation, the first time Angel glanced in a mirror, "I was like, 'Wow, I did it!'?" he recalls. "I felt relieved." Within only a few days, he was able to pick up the guitar he has been playing since age 15 and "hold it up to my chest!" he says. "Usually, I had to keep it low; now, it's so much easier." Adds his mother: "He's more outgoing—now he can be himself."
In the weeks since, Angel has taken up running ("I couldn't run before—my chest would ache," he says) and may even try out for the track team as a senior at Central Park East High School in Manhattan. And those aren't the only updates he's planning. "I've changed my style a lot," he says. "I've gone from tight clothes—to really, really tight!"

"Frozen" is the film of the year!
Perfect for both adults and kids. It's like going to Disneyland for two hours, but you don't have to drive to get there!
Shrewdly calculated down to the smallest detail in terms of its appeal factor, this smartly dressed package injects a traditional fairy tale, Hans Christian Anderson's "The Snow Queen," with enough contemporary attitudes and female empowerment touches to please everybody.
Energetic and humorous, as well as the first Hollywood film in many years to warn of global cooling rather than warming, this tuneful film upgrades what has been a lackluster year for big studio animated films.
"Frozen" was in development with numerous different writers and directors for more than a decade, as Disney hoped to strike gold with another Anderson story after the great success of "The Little Mermaid."
As even reasonably successful recent girl-aimed films, such as Pixar's "Brave" and Disney's "Tangled," have shown, it's not all that easy to recycle the well-worn princess format.
Directors Chris Buck and Jennifer Lee do a great job of hitting the required cues for youngsters' dream-come-true expectations while also introducing darker tones by way of a mentally tortured youthful queen and a two-faced royal suitor.
This is also a full-fledged musical, with eight original songs, which make it ready-made for the stage when the time comes.
As drastically refashioned from the Anderson story, this is the tale of two sisters, the older and brooding Elsa and younger Anna.
Raised in the splendid isolation of an enormous castle, they lose their parents to a shipwreck, forcing Elsa to take the throne in her late teens.
Long aware that she possesses the sort of dark powers ever-popular in these movies, Elsa has always heeded the warning not to let them show.
But when, during her coronation, she removes the gloves that keep her powers in check, her capacity for sorcery becomes evident to all.
Elsa runs off to splendid isolation while Anna has had her head turned by handsome young Prince Hans but soon departs in pursuit of her older sister.
The vocal performances are amazing.
Kristen Bell as Anna and Idina Menzel as Elsa share the big number "For the First Time in Forever" that's the centerpiece of the original songs written by the married team of Kristen Anderson-Lopez and Robert Lopez. Watch for this song to win at the next Academy Awards!
Visually, "Frozen" is a pleasure and is the first widescreen Disney fairy tale since "Sleeping Beauty." See this film in the theater with your family, do not wait for it to come out on DVD.

It took four years for Brütal Legend to claw its way out of development, four years of hard work, heavy metal, and publisher troubles - the latter eventually resulting in an angry legal showdown that was settled out of court. After all the hassle, you can hardly blame Tim Schafer and Double Fine for wanting to try something different.
The new plan, as revealed by Shafer at this year's Develop Conference in Brighton, is to put out a quartet of smaller games in relatively quick succession. The four titles were all born out of something called Amnesia Fortnight - a two-week period in which the Double Fine staff took a break from their usual work, and instead built their own mini-projects from scratch. When the company heard that Brütal Legend 2 was dead in the water, it turned its attention back to its four prototypes - and now, strangely enough, all of the projects have publishing deals.
It's a happy turn of events for the studio, and for us it should hopefully mean four helpings of Double Fine's typical creativity and wit, without a massive wait in-between. It's important to note that Schafer himself is taking more of a back-seat supervisor role, leaving each game to be directed by its original creator. The Monkey Island scribe has leant a hand on the writing for Costume Quest, but the project is being overseen by Tasha Harris - lead animator on Brütal Legend. The game itself is a light RPG romp set in an American suburban neighbourhood on Halloween, served with a knowing sense of humour that both compliments and contrasts with its cute, cel-shaded appearance.
The plot focuses on Wren and Reynold - a squabbling brother and sister tag-team who've just moved to a new area. At the start of the game the pair get a lecture from their parents, who calmly dictate that one of the kids must take charge as they head out for a night of trick-or-treating. Your first action in the game is to control the mother's arm as she decides who gets to wear the smug expression - whoever she picks will be the character you play as. Regardless of who you plump for, things swiftly take a turn for the worse: first your sibling embarrasses you by wearing an utterly rubbish costume, then they get snatched up by the inhabitant of the second house you visit. But don't reach for your pitchfork and your copy of News of the World - because the kidnapper isn't a dribbly nonce-in-waiting, but rather a dim-witted monster named Gus (Phew!).
As it turns out, the monsters are here to steal the town's sweets. Your brother/sister is dressed as a piece of candy, and Gus thought that they were some kind of novelty talking confectionery. Now you've got to get them back - not because you're worried about your sibling getting killed, but because if they do you'll get grounded. And that would be kind of a drag, non?
The adventure that ensues finds your kid of choice trawling the neighbourhood, attempting to follow the trail of the kidnapping nasties. Your first obstacle is a large and rather sinister-looking security gate that will only open once you've gathered sweets from all the remaining houses in the first area - but then since you don't really care about what happens to your brother/sister, you'd have done that anyway, right? Each home that you've yet to visit has lights running up the driveway, and these then blink off as soon as your candy-raid is complete. Sometimes you'll be greeted by a clueless adult who'll add to your tooth-rotting stash (sweets also function as in-game currency, incidentally), but on other occasions the door will be opened by a monster. In this case, it's time for a fight.
