Flint-area prep boys basketball capsules for Feb. 27
Boys – Clio (13-5) at Flushing (14-5)
Tip: 7 p.m. Thursday, Feb. 27, at Flushing High School
The Lowdown: The site of Flushing's district opener next week is Clio High School, but Flushing must face the Mustangs in its season finale before the tournament begins. Clio has won 11 of its last 12 games and Flushing has won seven of its last eight games so both teams are playing playoff basketball. It'll be a slug fest as both teams will fight to the end.
Boys – Flint Beecher (16-3) at Flint Northwestern (5-11)
Tip: 7 p.m. Thursday, Feb. 27 at Flint Northwestern High School
The Lowdown: Beecher coach Mike Williams is getting his young team focused to make a run at a three-peat. The Buccaneers are trying to head into the playoffs with momentum while Northwestern is looking to pull off another upset. Arthur Hill stopped Northwestern's four-game winning streak on Tuesday, Feb. 25, but Napoleon Petteway will have his boys ready for Williams' group. Beecher won 75-49 in their last battle on Jan. 3 at Beecher.
Boys – Flint Hamady (16-3) at Webberville (3-14)
Tip: 7 p.m. Thursday, Feb. 27, at Webberville High School
The Lowdown: Webberville was able to put up only four points as a team against Hamady's defense in their last meeting. After starting the season 15-0, Hamady has struggled against competitive teams. The Hawks have lost three games to Flint Northwestern, Southwestern and Goodrich over the past two weeks. This game should help Hamady get back on the right track going into the playoffs.
Boys – New Lothrop (16-3) at Burton Atherton (13-4)
Tip: 7 p.m. Thursday, Feb. 27, at Burton Atherton High School
The Lowdown: Flint basketball guru Earl Jordan has brought a winning mentality to Atherton's program in his first year as head basketball coach. New Lothrop barely edged Atherton 59-56 in their last meeting at New Lothrop in a competitive game that came down to the wire. Atherton's last couple of games has been decided by three points or less so this battle should be a close game, too.
Boys – Swartz Creek (10-9) at Saginaw Heritage (4-15)
Tip: 7 p.m. Thursday, Feb. 27, at Saginaw Heritage High School
The Lowdown: Swartz Creek has been inconsistent all season, with up-and-down play, but Saginaw Heritage hasn't been much better. Heritage's schedule is arguably tougher, but the Dragons have dropped games to opponents with losing records, so previous games don't mean much when taking on Swartz Creek. Scottie Wright is certainly stressing the importance of this games but his players have to execute.

But the book about a tempestuous newspaper heiress (Kay Graham of the Washington Post is said to be their model) just sat there after being published in May. The title struck the fancy of fireworks enthusiast George Plimpton, however, and he decided to give Skyrocket a second launching at Times Square's new Bond disco. A laser beam spelled out the authors' names on the walls, and when it came to dancing, Sheppard set off a few sparklers with her zesty style. Black-well, who waltzed with Joan Crawford in the 1928 movie Our Dancing Daughters, was a bit of a fizzle when he tried the disco beat.
Heston's mummy
Charlton Heston got wrapped up in Egyptology while prepping for his role as an obsessed scientist in the forthcoming film The Awakening. He pored over tomes about Ramses and Tutankhamen and studied methods of deciphering hieroglyphics. Naturally, while visiting Paris to promote the film, he browsed in the Egyptian rooms of the Louvre. The imposing figure he ran across was not a relic of The Ten Commandments, from his DeMille era, but a mummy sarcophagus from the Amarna period.
Bach's hazard
Catherine Bach, the hillbilly roadhouse waitress of the hit CBS series The Dukes of Hazzard, was fresh as a Daisy even after flipping her Jeep while competing in the celebrity heat of the Off-Road World Championship Gran Prix over a bumpy track laid out in L.A.'s Coliseum. Bach, who performs her own stunts in Hazzard, suffered only minor bruises and soon was mugging with Laurie Walters (right) and Willie Aames, both of Eight Is Enough. Aames finished first in the event and took the trophy home.
Clint goes to lunch
While filming Any Which Way You Can (a sequel to his 1978 hit Every Which Way but Loose) in sunny Jackson Hole, Wyo., Clint Eastwood knocked off for lunch after roughhousing with breakaway furniture in a fight scene. So when he showed up in the chow line, bare-chested, the ketchup was on him. The movie again teams Eastwood with his offscreen leading lady, Sondra Locke, but, for lunch at least, the two acted as though they were shooting Separate Tables. While Sondra kept her distance, Clint ate with his visiting daughter Allison, 8, and singing co-star Jim Stafford (above, in suit).
Buddy as Groucho
When Buddy Hackett debuts in a revival of the Groucho Marx TV game show You Bet Your Life starting in September, he will do things his way. Yes, a duck will drop from above when a guest utters the secret word, but Hackett's bird won't immediately fly the coop. It will stay around as a foil for Buddy's comic monologues. Instead of Groucho's jabs, Hackett plans to rely on the offbeat talents of his guests to get laughs. To legitimize the transition, Hackett has lined up for openers George Fenneman, Groucho's second banana.
Simon says
Carly Simon's kid brother Peter, 33, a photographer with three books to his credit, now has published a fourth. Insisting nobody does it better, Carly showed up at a Martha's Vineyard party to promote the new work, On the Vineyard, which hymns the island's beauties. Some summer locals, like columnist Art Buchwald—who wrote an essay for the book—now fear the book may contribute to making the island too popular and attract hordes of tourists. But that's just anticipation. Unworried, meanwhile, Carly puckered up for a fraternal kiss.

I wish to protest the publication of the article by Lehtonen and Korvenranta1 on infantile colic in which no attempt was made to determine if the crying infants were simply hungry!
The definition of colic used in that article stated that colic is paroxysms of crying more than 3 hours a day, occurring on more than 3 days per week. That is entirely inadequate! True colic is pain from entero spasm so severe that an infant has prolonged inconsolable crying that cannot be relieved by feeding, suckling, holding, rhythmic sounds, rhythmic motions, or medicinal tea.
In my experience, at least 50% of suspected colic cases are due to simple hunger. Somehow, many parents and doctors have gotten the fixed idea that babies should never eat more often than every 3 hours. This is wrong! I have found that when babies are sleeping through the night, they rarely wake up

Featured Golf News
The Biggest Golf Facility in the World
Mission Hills Golf Club in Guanlan, Shenzhen, China, stretches over 50 miles across a piece of property twice the size of Manhattan. The club is recognized as the largest golf facility in the world by the Guinness World Records.
Mission Hills boasts 180 holes over 10 championship courses designed by golf legends from five continents. Containing the most courses in a single facility anywhere in the world, the layouts were designed by such golf notables as Jack Nicklaus, Ernie Els, Nick Faldo, Jumbo Ozaki, Vijay Singh, Jose Marie Olazabal, Annika Sorenstam, David Duval, Greg Norman and golf instructor David Leadbetter. Lets take a glimpse at these layouts.
The World Cup Course was designed by Jack Nicklaus and served as the host site of the 41st World Cup of Golf in 1995. The layout was the first in China to be accredited by the PGA Tour for major professional competitions. Perhaps its signature hole is the 16th.
The Els Course was designed by the popular South African golfer, a multiple winner of golfs major championships. The layout winds through a lush landscape of dense trees. It features wide swaths of manicured turf and a unique flavor of the Big Easys homeland. Measuring over 7,000 yards from the back tees, the Els Course is a core layout, with no peripheral development. Its 4th tee perches atop the highest point of the course, offering commanding views of Mission Hills and outlying properties.
The Faldo Course opened in 1999. It contains one of the world's toughest island greens the 16th. Faldo, another multiple major winner, used his outstanding shot-making skills to design this challenging venue.
The Ozaki Course was created by Japans most popular golfer. The track takes advantage of the dramatic mountain valleys that house each hole. Towering peaks and wooded hillsides line every fairway. The terrain is so mountainous that a 200-foot-long tunnel is needed to connect the 12th green with the 13th tee. Every hole provides great views from elevated tees to undulating fairways and greens that require accuracy. Perhaps the deepest bunkers in Asia are found on this course.
The Vijay Course was designed by Singh, the Fijian currently ranked as the No. 2 player in the world, after Tiger Woods. The layout, which is reminiscent of Pebble Beach, boasts a 150-yard-long bunker.
The Olazabal Course adheres to its namesakes reputation as one of the games best sand players. The 7,400-yard test offers vistas of untouched jungles and flowing streams, which create natural backdrops throughout the routing. Square tees and concave paspalum grass fairways are two distinguishing features of this course. The bunkers contain numerous fingers, grassy vertical lips and deep "bowled" bottoms.
The Annika Course was designed by the worlds greatest woman golfer. Representing Sorenstams first-ever design, the layout showcases her best talent: precision. The course also has spectacular views of nearby mountains and dramatic elevation changes. Manicured landscaping creates an appealing "botanical" atmosphere. The 465-yard 18th hole, located next to a large natural lake, is a fine finisher.
The Duval Course challenges with numerous water hazards, dense groundcover and a mixture of long and short double-doglegs. The course is designed in such that half the course is situated on an uphill slope and the remainder on a descent. The layouts first half rises up to a secluded natural valley in the northeasternmost part of the resort, while the finishing holes wind their way back down to the clubhouse. A stream meanders through many holes. Deep flat-bottomed bunkers squeeze many landing areas, collecting errant tee shots and affecting approaches into the greens.
The Norman Course boasts a very high level of difficulty. Average courses usually have slope ratings of between 120 and 130. But the slope rating of Greg Normans course at Mission Hills is over 140, making it the most difficult track in Asia. Also labeled the "Tournament Course," this layout is dominated by numerous high-flashed bunkers. The front nine meanders through several small valleys, while the back nine is set in a much larger solitary valley defined by steep slopes.
Perhaps the salient feature of the Leadbetter Course is that it requires precise approaches into its oversized greens. Leadbetters turf choices include paspalum fairways, Zoysia grass roughs, and Tifeagle Hybrid Bermuda grass greens. Big sand-flashed bunkers frame the contoured fairways, while various tee blocks assure the golfing experience is enjoyable yet challenging for all players.
In addition to the World Cup of Golf, the facility has hosted the Mission Hills Tiger Woods China Challenge and the Ryder Cup-style Dynasty Cup. The club has also participated in programs hosted by Leadbetter, including the Leadbetter Workshop and the Junior Golf Clinic.
The Resort
Mission Hills Resort is Chinas only five-star resort built alongside a championship golf course. It provides luxurious accommodations in an environment augmented by warm hospitality from a courteous staff. The resort contains 315 rooms, each with a balcony overlooking the Vijay and Els Courses. In addition to large living spaces, the resort offers 13 deluxe suites and the ornate Imperial Suite, which has hosted many celebrities and heads of states.
Besides golf, guests have access to 51 tennis courts; two swimming pools; a 64-bay driving range; squash, badminton and basketball courts; table tennis and billiards; a childrens play area; a gymnasium with the latest Cybex training equipment; and the Spa La Quinta, which offers a full range of specialty treatments.
Mission Hills also offers Chinese and Western restaurants, wine cellars stocked with vintage wines, and a full room-service menu. Other amenities include the Piano Bar and the poolside Captains Bar, a gift shop, flower shop and transportation counter (consierge), who tends to guests travel needs, including sea, land and air ticketing requirements. Also available are a wide selection of meeting rooms, conference suites, banquet halls and a 24-hour business center.
Mission Hills Resort is located 30 minutes from the center of Shenzhen and 20 minutes from the Shenzhens Huang Gang/Hong Kong border. The resort is serviced by over 100 daily transits from Central, Kowloon Tong and Lok Ma Chau every day.

Tomorrow could be the last Old Firm game played at Ibrox for quite some time if we are to believe the fantasists/realists/jelly and ice cream brigade (delete as you think appropriate).
Tempting as it is to to comment on the reappearance of Peter "sporting integrity" Lawwell or the ever confused Ticketus situation I'll pass. This weekend provides the chance to set aside the politics of our administration for 90 minutes and enjoy the football. Forget the ownership debates, the league reconstruction and the money, what draws us all together is simply the football.
The Old Firm is not to everyone's tastes, I understand that. I've had to write about the singing etc a few times in the year I've been doing this blog. The first article I wrote on here was in the aftermath of the "shame game" (Sympathy for the Devils) and certainly Sunday has the potential to get out of control. I see no reason to apologise for the passions this game stirs. If we are honest though we all love the mayhem. The fever that surrounds the match is the reason it is broadcast around the world. There aren't too many countries of our size who have a sporting event that attracts such attention.
The consensus is that Celtic cannot lose this match. Rangers don't know when the next win will come with the off field uncertainty taking a very heavy toll on it. This was scarcely a vintage Rangers side and the loss to injury of Naismith and sale of Jelavic were huge blows. However, we have not become a bad side over night. It should not be forgotten though that Rangers were comfortable winners of the first Old Firm game at Ibrox 4-2. The second game was lost 1-0 but not before a perfectly legitimate goal was missed by the match officials. Goals change games and all that...
At the time of administration Rangers were 4 points behind Celtic. No question they looked the favourites for the title and if they win it then it will be deserved. Our finances and our 10 point punishment are our problem not theirs. What nobody can deny though is that Rangers have turned round a 4 point post split deficit in recent times never mind a 4 point deficit in mid February. To call it a tainted title is going to far. That we will never know who would have won the title had the 10 point penalty never materialised is though simply a statement of fact.
My point is that despite being universal favourites for this game a Celtic win is not a foregone conclusion. Consider our likely team:
The numbers next to their name denote the caps won for their respective international teams. Two of them captain their national teams. I appreciate that there is great deal of uncertainty and gloom surrounding Rangers but these are not inexperienced players. Many of them will in all likelihood have moved on by this time next year. Denied the chance to challenge for the league title the only positive they can take from this season is bettering Celtic in the remaining two Old Firm games. It is not much of an achievement but nor is it too much to ask that these players raise themselves and give the fans a win tomorrow. We have sold out all our home games since we entered administration and the players/management have received nothing but support. Tomorrow is time for the players to repay the fans.
Little or Healy up top for McCullouch, keep it tight and get a draw at worst. Most important thing is fans behave, don't sink into a mire of sectarian abuse and team play with pride! WATP
Picking a team is very difficult given the recent form and the players who have been absent through injury or suspension. Clearly we will go for experience. McCullouch is a good physical presence up front and the movement if aluko and Davis will hopefully give them problems.
Whilst I agree to an extent on the singing being realistic this is an old firm game and a highly charged one at that. The false outrage we often see does neither set of fans any credit. Celtic fans will be on the wind up like never before. The green brigade may even have looked out a dictionary to help with the spelling! Rangers fans will respond wil an enormous f you. One team will win and one will lose. Life will go on.
You are 21 points behind just now - Celtic could quite happily gift you 10 points back and still win the league at a cruise. I believe you should forget 2nd and worry that not come 4th. Fat Sally doesn't seem to have a scooby-doo........what was that about leaving Aluko on the bench at Tannadice????? I believe a more responsible blog would have been to worry if the fans go mental when beaten for a record breaking 4 in a row home defeats today.
I should have said "if" above regarding the possibility of a record breaking 4 in a row home defeat.
As an East Fife fan, I hope it is a close + entertaining game with NO crowd trouble
best wishes to both sides of the divide.

When Sarah Manderson decided to pursue her dream career to become a chef, she knew it would involve making financial sacrifices.
At 30, Ms Manderson is a "mature age apprentice", officially defined as anyone over the age of 21.
As a first year apprentice chef Ms Manderson earned $315 per week after tax. Now in her fourth and final year she pockets $630 for a 45 hour week.
"Before starting the apprenticeship, I was holding down three jobs and earning great money but in my first year [of the apprenticeship] I was earning no more than $315 a week. I was worried about how I was going to cope," Ms Manderson said.
"It isn't easy and the money was a huge shock because you can't do other jobs on the side, she said.
"[Sometimes] I think maybe I should have done it earlier but now I am older I think I can apply myself much more easily."
Recent research by apprenticeship organisation Group Training Australia reveals low wages act as a major barrier to more people up-skilling or re-training via a mature apprenticeship.
Adam Farmer is the employment services manager for Macarthur Group Training, an organisation that specialises in training apprentices.
He said the skills shortage had seen some employers pay above the award rate to attract and retain mature-age apprentices.
"When employers can't attract the right people, or enough competent people, you can't provide a service or a product to your customers," he said.
"When government and industry want to encourage older people [they] have to be willing to pay enough to attract them."
However, Mr Farmer said that most mature-aged workers taking up an apprenticeship would have to make "short-term" financial sacrifices if they were to be better off in the long run.
'We have a phrase that we use, 'short-term pain and long term gain' – the short term pain is the low wage but the long term gain is that once you have the trade you have heaps of advantages.
"There is a guarantee that if you are qualified in a trade you, you will not have a problem getting a job, with the skills shortage," he said.
Mr Farmer told CareerOne that mature-age apprentices were also favoured by employers for their "higher levels of maturity, stronger communication skills and life experience."
"[These qualities] are important because no matter how technical you are, you still need to be able to work with other people, " he said.

Military and Veterans' Benefits:
Observations on the Concurrent Receipt of Military Retirement and VA Disability Compensation
GAO-03-575T: Published: Mar 27, 2003. Publicly Released: Mar 27, 2003.

Because pending legislation would modify current law, which requires that military retirement pay be reduced by the amount of VA disability compensation benefit received, the Subcommittee on Personnel, Senate Committee on Armed Services asked GAO to discuss the treatment of concurrent benefit receipt in other programs. GAO was also asked to discuss its broader work on federal disability programs.
Three factors are important to weigh in deliberations on the merits of modifying the military offset provision. First, many benefit programs use offset provisions when individuals qualify for benefits from more than one program. Generally, the provisions are designed to treat beneficiaries of multiple programs fairly and equitably in relation to all other program beneficiaries, consistent with the program's purpose. Moreover, eliminating the military retirement offset provision could establish a precedent for other federal benefit programs that could prove costly. Second, the proposed modifications to the concurrent receipt provisions in the military retirement system would have implications not only for the Department of Defense's retirement costs but would also increase the demand placed on the Department of Veterans Affairs' (VA) claim processing system. This would come at a time when the system is still struggling to correct problems with quality assurance and timeliness. Third, such increased demand would come at a time when the VA disability program compensation, along with other federal disability programs, is facing the need for more fundamental reform. Modifying the concurrent receipt provisions adds to the current patchwork of federal disability policies and programs at a time when transformation and modernization are needed. While we are not taking a position on whether military retirement should be modified, as the Congress and other policymakers deliberate this issue, it would be appropriate to consider how modifying the offset would affect the pursuit of more fundamental reforms.

At this rate, Floyd Mayweather may never retire.
While in Grand Rapids last week, Mayweather (44-0) suggested he had "five more fights" left, which would complete his six-fight deal with Showtime he signed before his May win over Robert Guerrero.
His next bout is Sept. 14 against Saul "Canelo" Alvarez at MGM Grand in Las Vegas. Mayweather and Alvarez are wrapping up a 10-city press tour to promote the fight.
"After my five more fights, guess what?" Mayweather said Monday in Houston. "I think after 49-0 we may stay in this sport a little longer. This Sept. 14, it's just another walk in the park."
Mayweather and Alvarez were in Houston on Monday and then in San Antonio that evening. Alvarez's most recent win came at The Alamodome, April 20 against Austin Trout.
A "flight delay" prevented the 36-year-old Mayweather from arriving at the San Antonio tour stop on time, where some fans had been in line since that morning.
Intentional or not, Alvarez said it didn't bother him.
"At six o'clock, the press conference was supposed to start, and that's why I'm here at six o'clock. Because I respect you, because you guys respect boxing," Alvarez said.
"There are Mayweather fans here who also have been here since very early. I'm here for them too. He thinks all the boxers have to respect him and he intimidates everybody, but he doesn't intimidate me."

Kellie Crowley's gallbladder problems had likely been brewing for years. But as far as she knew, it struck overnight. The symptoms came on suddenly.
"At first the pain was radiating. I wasn't sure if I was having a heart attack or what was happening, and I ended up in the ER," says Crowley.
"Many people feel if we live long enough we're all going to get gallstones," says Dr. Barry Haicken, general surgeon with Lee Memorial Health System.
Dr. Barry Haicken removed Crowley's diseased gallbladder. About a half-million people undergo the surgery each year. The gallbladder stores and releases bile which helps digest fats. There are several reasons why gallstones form. Risk factors are highest in women.
"Women tend to get gallbladder disease much more than men. So the biggest risk factor would be a woman. Probably 80-90% of my patients for gallbladder disease are women," says Dr. Haicken.
When it relates to gallstones, it often comes down to the 3 'W's: women, white and weight. All three are linked to high rates of gallbladder disease. Asians and African-Americans have a lower risk, and studies show the use of hormone replacement therapy, or HRT, may double or triple risk.
"I wouldn't be surprised. I had a hysterectomy several years ago so if it has to do with hormone replacement I probably would be a candidate," says Crowley.
"The exact connection remains elusive. Obviously estrogen and progesterone are going to play a part in that differentiation, but exactly what it is nobody knows," says Dr. Haicken.
How the hormones are delivered may make a difference, however. Women who use a patch or gel form of HRT face less risk than those who take a pill. Again, not all gallstones create a problem. If patients have frequent or several gallbladder attacks; surgery may be in order.
"Your body does very nicely without the gallbladder. The bile instead of coming out in a big gush after a meal now drips in steadily all day long and the digestion is essential normal," says Dr. Haicken.

Caprock is 8-2-3 in district. The Longhorns will play their final district game at 7 p.m. Monday against Palo Duro in Dick Bivins Stadium, and will clinch second place in the district with a win.

We are looking for additional contributors to an edited volume on Minorities and the State in Africa: Historical and Contemporary Perspectives.
Most states in African, as in other parts of the world, have one or more minority groups. Here, we conceptualize minorities broadly to include persons belonging to national or ethnic, religious, and linguistic minorities. The issue of land, economic and cultural globalization and the increasing tendency toward homogeneity amongst the dominant populations are emblematic of the treatment of minorities in many states. The tendency for the dominant population to marginalize minorities within their national boundaries has frequently led to conflict and destabilization. Often minority groups and indigenous people face discrimination and human rights abuses with little effective protection from the law. The volume aims to explore the various facets of the relationship between States and Minorities across Africa. We are particularly looking for papers that will cover different geographical regions as well as different kinds of minorities. We welcome contributions from political scientists, sociologists, historians and all scholars of African studies broadly defined. All the contributions will be peer-reviewed, as well as the final manuscript.
To contribute to the collection, send an abstract of no more than 600 words by 20 September 2007 to

Which 'Star Wars' characters would you like to see get their own spin-off film?
Who: Chewbacca
From: "Star Wars"
What we would like to see: George Lucas changed his mind about having the climax of "Return of the Jedi" involve the Wookiee home planet, instead giving us the more kid-friendly Ewoks. He made up for it to a degree by sending Yoda to fight alongside Chewbacca and his people in "Revenge of the Sith," but I want to see the idea taken to the limit: an all-Wookiee film, with no humans, nor subtitles, just growls and gestures. (Chewie has never needed subtitles in the past, though in three of his four films, he had Han Solo reacting to him.) Think of it as an adventure movie spin on the opening to "2001: A Space Odyssey," or a silent movie with furry heroes. Give it to a director who's great at action and less capable when we have to stop to listen to people talk (Louis Leterrier, maybe?) and let him go crazy playing to all his strengths and none of his weaknesses.

LISBON - Columbiana County Recorder Craig Brown believes county commissioners are placing politics above what is best for the citizenry by delaying action on a plan that would make 11 years of property records available online.
Brown said the representative for Lending Processing Services (LPS), the company offering to do the work for free, told him Commission Chairman Mike Halleck advised her he preferred to wait until the new recorder takes office in January.
"The only thing we're doing here is hurting the public and slowing the process. This is not the time to play games," Brown said.
The conversation reportedly occurred on Wednesday, the same day the Morning Journal published a story about Brown urging commissioners to accept LPS' offer because the company was losing patience. The California-based LPS is in the business of providing data to the mortgage and loan industry, and being able to access county property records online would save the company the expense of sending a worker to the recorder's office to do the work.
Brown said he has to go through commissioners since they are the only ones who can legally accept the $34,000 LPS is donating to cover the cost, $31,000 of which is for web-hosting and bandwith fees covering the first three to five years. He said failing to act on the offer would hurt not only the public, which would no longer have to come to the courthouse to get a copy of their property records, but the other county offices that would also benefit from the increased bandwith.
Brown, who was up for re-election this year, lost in the March 6 Democratic primary election to Brenda Myers. He remains in office until his term expires Dec. 31, which is when whoever is eventually elected in the November election will replace him.
"If I was the public, I'd be outraged by Halleck's position. We can't have commissioners playing politics," he said. "Mike got what he wanted. I lost the election" but it is time to do what is right for the taxpayers.
Halleck said they have serious reservations about Brown's proposal.
"He is correct. The election is over, but this isn't about politics and it's never been about politics. It's about doing what's right for the county," he said. "I think its fair to say the board is uncomfortable with the deal the way it has been presented."
First, Halleck said they are uncomfortable LPS would be using the information to make money, not to mention the costly web-hosting and bandwith costs the county has to pick up once the original agreement expires. They are also concerned about privacy issues should a Social Security number or other personal information inadvertently appear online.
Another concern is the move would result in less income for the county generated by the 25 cents per page copying fee charged by the recorder's office. The fee generated at least $52,000 last year, all of which went into the county general fund.
"Why would I get rid of $52,000 and sell that for $34,000 when the $34,000 is only a one-time thing and the $52,000 is ongoing?" Halleck said. "We need to see how this would affect the overall financial picture."
Much of the $52,000 is probably coming from the current shale gas lease boom under way in the county, which will eventually subside. Brown said the $52,000 is not a net profit once you consider what is spent on copying supplies, wear and tear, and the time his limited staff spends making these copies. He believes the move would actually save the county money.
"I already need more staff and they won't give me the money, so we have to find better solutions," he said.
As for telling the LPS official they would prefer to wait until the new recorder takes office, Halleck said that only makes sense given this is a decision the incoming officeholder will have to live with. "It's probably only fair whoever wins that election have some input," he said.
Halleck suggested that perhaps Brown might want to include Myers and Republican recorder candidate Theresa Bosel in his discussions and let them decide whether the plan is something either one would want to pursue if elected.
Halleck said they were also dissatisfied with the responses to some of their questions they were getting from the LPS official. "So far, we're just not satisfied with what we have learned," he said.

It Doesn't Seem NaturalPosted Monday, December 3, 2007, at 10:18 AM
He was the man.
I remember well what a hero he was to me for his accomplishments and, maybe even more so, for his spectacular failures. One wonders how many other kids like me were injured if not outright killed because of that kind of hero-worship. I was one who actually had a motorcycle rather than just a bicycle, and Evel was never far from my thoughts when I cranked it up. For that reason I rarely passed anything remotely resembling an inclined plane without seeing just how far I could launch myself off of it.
I never tried to jump anything approaching the size of a bus or Las Vegas fountain, though. So while I did get injured, it was only slightly, and on some level I was always a little ashamed of that. Every bone in my body like Evel might have been a little much, but you'd think I could have managed at least a green stick fracture or something.
So long, Evel. You can't be blamed if you didn't go out in a blaze of glory. You certainly tried to often enough.
Showing most recent comments first
[Show in chronological order instead]
I'm sure a guy like Evel Knievel made quite a few enemies over the years, even when he stopped short of breaking bones. Like a lot of celebrities, he was probably a lot more admirable from a safe distance. Still... I don't have much respect for a guy who didn't have the guts to sue the man while he was still alive. (Not that I can really blame him.)
I think the Snake River Canyon jump was the beginning of Evel's downfall (literally and figuratively). The rumor was that he knew all along the thing wouldn't work and just pumped up the hype to cash in. Maybe. But what is overlooked is: How much more guts would it take to get into a rocket and launch yourself into a canyon when you KNOW you aren't going to make it to the other side?

The vultures have already descended........ Evel's former pr man. whose arm Evel broke with a baseball bat........... is trying to collect a judgment against his estate........... i remember 1974 and the Snake River Canyon jump................ Evel had big cojones....................
