School bond issue deferred
By Henri C. Bienvenu
BREAUX BRIDGE – Parish voters will be asked to renew a property tax for school maintenance in April, but school board members last week took no action regarding a proposal to seek voter approval of a new $30 million bond issue for extensive capital improvements to schools around the parish.
Renewal of a 8.32 mills property tax will be submitted to voters in a special election set for Saturday, April 4. The special millage has been on the books for a number of years and the board will seek renewal of the millage for another 10-year period.
But the board did not even consider a resolution calling for a new bond issue to fund approximately $30 million in capital projects around the parish. The item was removed from the agenda at the start of the meeting with little discussion.
Bonding attorney Lonnie Bewley had told the board's finance committee in October that the board could issue the new bonds and repay outstanding bonds without increasing the current tax millage of 22.39 mills.
The packet distributed to board members for last week's meeting included a list of the proposed projects that could be funded with the proceeds from a bond issue, although the staff emphasized that the list was only a proposal and that costs were estimates.
Among the larger projects proposed were:
•$4.05 million for Cecilia High School – band room, gym and classroom walls.
•$4.05 million for Breaux Bridge High – auditorium and greenhouse.
•$3,836,000 for St. Martinville Sr. High – gym, restrooms, carpet removal and various other items.
•$3,130,000 for Parks Primary – 10 new classrooms, restrooms, multi-purpose room.
•$3,850,000 for new offices at Instructional Center.
•$2.5 million – Parishwide upgrade of aging window air-conditioning units.
•$1,572,000 for Cecilia Primary – 8 new classrooms, restrooms.
•$1,179,000 for Teche Elementary – 8 new classrooms.
•$1,125,000 for Breaux Bridge Primary – multi-purpose room.
It appears that board members are not in complete agreement as to just how the $30 million should be used, but the matter will likely be brought up again at the board's February meeting.
Another item removed from the agenda without discussion was a proposal to reconsider grade levels at schools in St. Martinville and Cecilia.
A staff recommendation proposed the following changes:
•St. Martinville schools – Early Learning Center, change from pre-K and kindergarten to pre-K to 1st grade; St. Martinville Primary change from grades 1 to 4 to grades 2 to 5; and St. Martinville Jr. High change from grades 5 to 8 to grades 6 to 8.
•Cecilia schools – Cecilia Primary change from pre-K to 3 to pre-k to 2; Teche Elementary change from grades 4 to 6 to grades 3 to 5; and Cecilia Jr. High change from grades 7 and 8 to grades 6 to 8.
The staff justification report says the relocation of the 5th grade to SMJH resulted in overcrowding and the transition has been a difficult one.
In Cecilia, the staff points out that Cecilia Primary currently has more than 930 students and the campus has no more space for additional classrooms
In other action, the board agreed to share the expense of an additional JROTC instructor at Breaux Bridge High School, where the new program has 97 participants with another 46 on a waiting list.

I've been extremely busy these last couple of weeks and will continue to be for a large portion of the upcoming months. I don't know how often I will get to post on this profile considering my new crazy tour schedule, but I wanted to leave you all with this. If there is any proof that life can change in the flip of a coin is this image right here. I woke up today bummed out and I'm going to bed having met an unbelievably, sweet, uplifting girl named yelyahwilliams . Sometimes things don't go the way you want them to (for example I think this image is not exactly all in focus) but that doesn't mean the outcome of the situation won't be positive. Watching all day people come up to this young lady asking for photos, and seeing her each and every time respond with a smile or hug absolutely took me back. Many would say that it's easy to stay happy when you have so much attention, but I would argue differently. It is (at least for me) very heavy and tedious to stay happy after meeting so many people and hearing about their problems/stories. Watching Hayley respond to everyone with such kindness reminded me that being happy is a choice; You always have a choice. A choice to think about the bad or the good, a choice to walk towards brighter light or lie in the dark. The suicide sign project has never been about telling people what to do. I started this project to encourage people to think differently, to think happier; to remind them that if given time, things do change.
Thanks for reminding me of all of those things today miss, it was truly a pleasure meeting you.

Back when Mark McKinney was playing gigs at the Godfather's Pizza in Big Spring, songwriting wasn't high on his list of priorities.
"It was sloppy," McKinney said of his first gig as a sixth grader. "We were playing ZZ Top or Skynyrd or whatever songs we could learn.
"Dad told us if we got 10 songs down that we could play all the way through, he would get us a gig," McKinney said of his first band with his older brother.
Nowadays, McKinney mostly performs his own work, as he will when he returns to Amarillo for a 9 p.m. Friday show at Midnight Rodeo, 4400 S. Georgia St.
He's about to film a video for his latest single, "Maybe We Should," the fourth release from "Standing My Ground," his fourth studio album.
"It's kind of one of those summertime kind of love songs," McKinney said of the new single. "It's kind of based on a guy who'd known a girl for a long time and spending a lot of time together as friends and realizing that maybe they should take it to that next level."
Is it autobiographical?
"Maybe a little bit, we'll just say that," McKinney chuckled. "Yes, yes it did (work out)."
McKinney began writing in his early 20s, but "you wouldn't want to go back and hear any of those songs. I know I wouldn't.
"But as you do it more and more, you get better at it," he said. "I've always loved writing. It's a way to express myself, to relax, to let my feelings and emotions out."
After a few years in real estate and construction, McKinney finally began performing full-time about eight years ago, getting his big break touring with Amarillo native Kevin Fowler.
"He's an old buddy. We've known each other when he was playing in rock bands and I was too, and we both had long hair," McKinney said. "I've known Fowler since the days he could touch his long red hair to the top of his jeans."

LINCOLN, Neb. — Nebraska's governor is coming under fire for being driven from Lincoln to Omaha to meet with a university regent about the search for a University of Nebraska president — a job he has since applied for.
The chairman of the state Democratic Party says the governor shouldn't have spent a Monday morning in mid-May traveling two hours to meet with the regent to talk about his interest in the job while on the state's dime and time.
According to an email obtained under the state open records law, Gov. Dave Heineman was driven to Omaha on May 19 at 9 a.m., met with University of Nebraska Regent Howard Hawks at his workplace, Tenaska, and returned to Lincoln at 10:45 a.m.

13 Killed in Baghdad Bomb Blasts
By IANS

Last Updated: 02nd September 2014 08:55 AM
BAGHDAD: As many as 13 people have been killed in two explosions in Iraq's capital Baghdad Monday, a police source said.
Thirteen people were killed and 45 others injured when two car bombs exploded in Bayaa area in south Baghdad, Xinhua quoted the source as saying.
The massive blast also destroyed several nearby buildings and vehicles.
Iraq has been witnessing some of its worst violence in recent years.
The UN Assistance Mission for Iraq (UNAMI) Monday said at least 1,420 Iraqis have been killed and 1,370 injured in terrorist attacks and violence across the country last month.
In August alone, the UN estimates that 600,000 people have been displaced while thousands continue to be targeted and killed by the Islamic State militants and associated armed groups simply on account of their ethnic or religious background.

The Flyers are five points out of a playoff spot and running out of time.
They have 10 games remaining, including Tuesday's matchup with the host New York Islanders, who hold the eighth and final Eastern Conference playoff spot and have played one more game than the Flyers.
The Flyers aren't calling it a must-win situation, but they know a loss would place their playoff hopes on life support.
"We've had some success against the Islanders in the past, especially on Long Island, so we've got to stay positive and not get too down," winger Scott Hartnell said Saturday after an awful second period sent the Flyers to a 4-1 loss in Winnipeg. "Play 60 minutes. That's what we did in the last four games" before the Winnipeg disaster.

Read an Excerpt
Why would you want to consume beta-glucan?
The traditional answer is to lower your cholesterol. But there is accumulating evidence that this form of soluble fibre—found, for example, in oat bran—can perk up our immune system. Fibre is the indigestible part of the oat grain, meaning that it isn't broken down into components that can be absorbed into the bloodstream. So if it isn't absorbed, how can it have an effect on blood cholesterol? As betaglucan travels through the digestive system, it binds bile acids—compounds synthesized in the liver and then secreted into the small intestine to aid in the processing of dietary fats. These bile acids are usually reabsorbed and recycled. But when they are bound by betaglucan, they end up being eliminated from the body and therefore have to be replaced. This means that the liver has to make fresh bile acids, and since the raw material for this synthesis is cholesterol, the result is that blood cholesterol levels drop.
There's a second mechanism that operates as well. Bacteria that live in the large colon recognize beta-glucan as a tasty morsel. As they dine on it, they excrete compounds called short chain fatty acids that are absorbed into the bloodstream. Short chain fatty acids can impair cholesterol synthesis, so the liver has to use existing cholesterol to make bile acids. The problem, though, is that it takes a fair bit, about five to six grams, to trigger a significant lowering of cholesterol levels. That translates to a lot of oat bran—about three servings, quite a challenge. But beta-glucan is also available as a dietary supplement, and interestingly may serve a purpose beyond just lowering cholesterol, even at a reduced intake.
Over the last thirty or so years, beta-glucan has received a lot of attention from researchers because of its purported ability to activate the immune system. Certain immune cells recognize invaders such as yeasts, fungi and bacteria by the polysaccharides they harbour on their surface. When the immune cells sense these compounds, they are activated to attack the intruders. Beta-glucan is a polysaccharide composed of glucose units linked together in a chain similar to that found in microbes. When immune cells encounter beta-glucan in the bloodstream, they are tricked into greater activity, mistaking beta-glucan for microbial polysaccharides. These activated cells then go and seek out invaders that they otherwise may not have found.
Macrophages, for example, are white blood cells that destroy invaders by engulfing them and pummelling them with chemicals that break them down. But first they have to be activated. Betaglucan can do this by binding to their surface and stimulating the production of free radicals. These in turn signal the immune cells to engulf and destroy intruders such as bacteria, viruses and even tumour cells. Studies have shown that beta-glucan can reduce postoperative infections after high-risk surgery, and studies in mice have shown that animals treated with beta-glucan have a higher survival rate when injected with aggressive tumour cells.
In Japan, a beta-glucan preparation known as Lentinan, isolated from the shiitake mushroom, is used as an intravenous adjuvant to chemotherapy. Shiitake mushrooms themselves have a long folkloric history of use against infections of all types, including the common cold. Experiments have shown that shiitake promotes the production of interleukin, a hormone that stimulates the immune system to produce B-cells that create antibodies as well as helper T-cells that coordinate the immune response. So far, though, evidence of any sort of practical immune boost by taking oral supplements of beta-glucan is pretty thin, and the European Food Safety Authority has recently turned down an application by a German beta-glucan producer for a label claim of "improving the body's immune system against the common cold" because of insufficient evidence. The jury on beta-glucan supplements is still out, but in the meantime, do keep eating your oat bran for breakfast.
When a drop of iodine solution is placed on a vitamin C tablet, the deep brown colour quickly fades. What does this demonstrate?
That vitamin C is an antioxidant. Vitamin C (ascorbic acid) reduces elemental iodine (I2) to iodide (I–) by providing electrons. In chemical terms, this is called a reduction. Reduction is the opposite of oxidation, hence the expression antioxidant to describe the action of vitamin C. In practical terms, this means that vitamin C has the ability to donate electrons to free radicals and neutralize their effect. Free radicals have been linked with various disease processes.
What common feature characterizes the fruit-eating bat, the guinea pig and the red-vented bulbul?
These three animals (the bulbul is a bird), like man, require a source of vitamin C in their diet. Most animals can biosynthesize vitamin C and can live happily without its presence in the diet. Primates, of course, cannot make it and must have a dietary supply. The main role of vitamin C is to prevent scurvy, but we do not need very much to do this. About 10 milligrams a day is sufficient. But a higher intake of vitamin C is appropriate because of its antioxidant effect.

Capturing His Heart? How? What's The Big Idea?
Down the page a bit, just below this post, I've described the contents of Capture His Heart And Make Him Love You Forever, so you can decide whether or not you think it's going to help you get the man of your dreams.
But there's a question that you might want answering first.
What's the idea of using an internet program to get your man?
And the answer's pretty straightforward: there's lots of scientific evidence that, as long as they are used in the right way, the ideas and tactics in Capture His Heart are an extremely powerful tool in your relationship armory.
And, after all, where else are you going to find this information?
For example, consider one tiny aspect of the system – sending your man-to-be text messages…..
A study in the Journal Of Couples And Relationship Therapy makes the point (which we probably all know), that texting can either build or damage relationships.
I mean, there's the simple exchange of information like who's picking up the groceries, the fact your train's late, and what time you can meet your boyfriend or girlfriend. That's practical and useful.
But SMS texts can also used for many other reasons, good and bad. People use texts to try and express affection for their partner — and unfortunately they also use texting to try and manipulate their partner.
In this study, the researchers discovered that among 300 people aged between 18 and 25, about 80% of them were texting their partner several times a day.
Interestingly enough, in any relationship, when the woman texted more than the man, the woman was more likely to say their relationship was good. So texting can be an important tool when you're trying to Capture A Man's Heart.
Text or love letter? You choose!
And couples who send deeply textured, affectionate little notes to each other are often the most closely attached emotionally.
So why do these text messages have this extraordinary power? And what does that say about the possibility of Capturing His Heart?
Well, it turns out that text messages have considerable power to reflect emotion. In counseling, it's becoming common for one person to bring in text messages from their partner to show the counselor! That really shows how people can feel the emotion from a personal message sent from one person to another!
Interestingly enough, women use texts to feel connected; men seem to use text messages to distance themselves. And that reflects something we all know about relationships between men and women: women pursue men and want to fix things, and men tend to withdraw, feeling they are being attacked or criticized.
But if women use texts to feel connected, then why shouldn't women use them to seduce men? Why shouldn't women use them to show a man how much they love him?
And that simple logic is the basis of one small aspect of Capture His Heart.
But capture His Heart also offers loads of ways you can communicate with or without emotion, as you choose.
You can send information. You can send emotional messages. You can send messages with a meaning. The whole strategy of dating, wooing, winning and seducing is completely under your control.
That means that you can use Capture His Heart if you're building a new relationship or re-establishing a broken relationship – and you can use it however you choose, communicating whatever's most likely to get you what you want at that moment in time.
Here's the thing: if you're purposeful, and clear about what you're trying to achieve, and you use the techniques, tips and tricks in Capture Him, you will have a massive impact on your partner-to-be!
This is a very positive way of trying to connect and reach out. But to do it right, you need advice. The more complicated the issue – and who could say that building a relationship isn't complicated? – the more you need help to get it right.
And that, of course, is where Capture His Heart And Make Him Love You For Eternity comes in. Read on below to find out all about it.

Week 10 of the English Premier League saw changes up and down the table. Compared to the thrills, spills and controversies of the previous weekend, this weekend was a relatively calm affair. However, there were quite a few big matches once again.
In the most eye-catching fixture, Manchester United beat Arsenal 2-1 to extend their winning streak in the league to four matches. Their immediate title rivals, Chelsea and Manchester City both drew their games against Swansea City and West Ham United respectively. Consequently, this week saw the Red Devils go to the top of the Premier League standings for the first time this season.
Wigan caused the upset of the round by defeating Tottenham by a single goal at White Hart Lane. Norwich City, too, continued their upward motion in the table by beating Stoke by the same 1-0 scoreline.
Meanwhile, Martin O'Neill's Sunderland suffered a 1-0 loss to his former club, Aston Villa. Elsewhere, high-flying Everton were pegged back by a late Fulham goal, as the two clubs drew 2-2 at Craven Cottage.
On Sunday, QPR and Reading drew 1-1 in a relegation six pointer. The score was against replicated in Liverpool's clash against Newcastle United at Anfield.
Here is a look at some of the winners and losers in this round of fixtures in the English Premier League.

A Defense of Critic Kenneth Tynan
I have to say I was somewhat surprised at the depth of Terry Teachout's vitriol against my father, Kenneth Tynan ("The Ungenerous Brilliance of Kenneth Tynan," Sightings, March 1). It's one thing to disagree with my father's critical judgments, but I find it completely unjustified to lash out at him at such a personal level. I can only presume Mr. Teachout never met him. Of course, my father wasn't perfect but to call him a "moral idiot" is a bit over the top.
Furthermore, to accuse him of "batting out" New Yorker profiles is to completely miss the point of how comprehensive, well-crafted and highly regarded they were. Not to mention the fact that he resurrected the career of the virtually forgotten Louise Brooks. The fact that hardly a month goes by where I do not see my father quoted in a magazine or newspaper is, I think, testimony to the endurance of his critical views. Yes, he could be scathing, but most of the time what he excelled at was being a fan. I am afraid Mr. Teachout is "ungenerous" and wrong.

Emmys 2014 Style Grades: He Said/She Said
Darren Franich and Hillary Busis compare notes about the most memorable fashion on TV's big night
Slide 1 of 22
Julia Roberts in Elie Saab
He said: You know those fish who hang out on the ocean floor and sort of just crawl, and their skin gradually accrues this exoskeletal layer of sand and shiny undersea baubles? You know the fish I'm talking about, they're called [Googles frantically]…Demersal Fish! Anyhow, this dress looks like Julia Roberts put on scuba gear and went to the bottom of the ocean to hunt the biggest Demersal Fish on the planet, and then Elie Saab turned the carcass into a really swell-looking dress. But demerits for the blah shoes. B+ She said: I cannot and will not attempt to compete with that description, so I'll just say I'm glad Julia finally kicked her black-and-white habit—that is, her custom of wearing black and white. Not the nun outfit I assume she puts on whenever the cameras are off. B+

Posted by ESPN.com's Mike Sando
Kent Somers of the Arizona Republic says the Cardinals are "at least several weeks away" from negotiating a new contract for receiver Anquan Boldin. Somers: "[GM Rod] Graves traditionally has refrained from negotiating contract extensions until the regular season is well under way. By doing that, he can see the makeup of the final roster and take care of personnel moves necessitated by injuries. Also, Graves downplayed the team's interest in free agent offensive tackle Levi Jones. The Cardinals last talked to Jones' agent in May."
Also from Somers: Graves anticipates smooth negotiations with first-round choice Beanie Wells.
More from Somers: a look at the quarterback situation in Arizona. What if the team lost Kurt Warner to injury? Somers: "My guess is the Cardinals could survive if [Matt] Leinart had to play. The offensive schemes might change a bit, because no one sees the field as well as Warner or is as accurate when throwing under pressure. Would the offense be as explosive without Warner? Probably not. But Leinart is smart enough to get the ball to his talented corps of receivers."
Darren Urban of azcardinals.com offers a few notes, including one about Boldin's high school naming a stadium after him. Urban, following up a previous item, also thinks it'll be tough for Early Doucet or Brandon Keith to break through this season.
Jim Thomas of the St. Louis Post-Dispatch says Ronald Curry brings needed experience to the Rams. Thomas: "One veteran NFL personnel man, speaking on the condition of anonymity, said Curry -- who turned 30 on May 28 -- has lost a step, but is still more than simply a possession receiver."
Will of ramsherd.com weighs in on the Curry trade: "Even if Curry does not become a world-beater, his mere presence -- and a healthy 50 or more catches, with a handful of end zone grabs -- could go a long way toward stabilizing this offense, and fueling hopes for the 2009 season."
Tim Klutsarits of examiner.com says Curry's size differentiates him from most receivers on the Rams' roster. Tim Klutsarits: "I will give credit to the Rams that they are looking to make some moves with the wide receiver position and maybe you can catch some lightning in a bottle with Curry. The problem of course is that the Rams don't have any real established receivers and there are not really any great options just hanging around on the waiver wire for the Rams to fix the problem."
Kevin Lynch of Niner Insider sizes up the 49ers' situation at cornerback, wondering whether Shawntae Spencer can recover from knee surgery well enough to challenge for playing time. He also notes that the 49ers aren't carrying a cornerback shorter than 5-foot-10, reflecting a philosophy general manager Scot McCloughan learned from mentor Ron Wolf. I can't recall off the top of my head the last 49ers defensive back shorter than 5-10. Can you?
David Fucillo of Niners Nation consults Football Outsiders in trying to figure out Michael Crabtree's projected production for 2009. Seeing Crabtree practice with the 49ers and play in exhibition games will certainly help.
John Morgan of Field Gulls on the injury situation at linebacker for Seattle. The team appears healthy at the position.
Jim Moore, writing for Sports Northwest, checks in with Seahawks receiver T.J. Houshmandzadeh. Quarterback Matt Hasselbeck: "He's very physical. If you get one-on-one man coverage, he's a big-body receiver. He knows how to set a guy up. He knows how to create separation. He definitely has kind of a swagger about him. When the ball's in the air, he expects that it's his ball, and so far, he's come down with it most times. I'm still learning him. We're probably still learning each other a little bit, but I think so far, he's been everything we expected him to be."

Mount Pleasant Police say, We Need Your Help, Mount Pleasant.
The community is being inundated by vehicle break-ins. Police are finding that the majority of the time, these are crimes of opportunity for criminals because so often residents leave valuables in their cars and then leave them unsecured.
In the month of October, 76 vehicles were broken into. Of those, 88 percent had been left unsecured by the owner. In November, another 76 had been victimized and 83 percent of those had been left unsecured. Prevention is the key to impacting these crimes. Especially with the holiday season here, Mount Pleasant police are asking residents to please take a moment to ensure you are locking your vehicle and removing those valuables. It is important to lock your car whether it is parked in your driveway at night or parked in a parking lot during the day while you are at work or shopping.
There are simple ways to help prevent being the victim of a vehicle break in:
First of all, lock your doors and close your windows.
Dont leave a spare key in the vehicle.
Dont leave valuables in plain view. This could be anything as simple as loose change, sunglasses, a GPS or an iPod.
Document all serial numbers or identifiers of your electronics.
Park in garages or a well-lit areas.
Finally, be alert. If you spot suspicious activity in your community or hear something unusual at night, call police.

With Saturday's county as-semblies behind them, political candidates in Weld County will continue toward the August primaries and November elections.
Few Weld candidates are enjoying the post-as-sembly campaigning as much as Re-publican Scott Renfroe. The 39-year-old concrete contractor has push-ed a return to core conservative values during his run for Senate District 13.
Smaller government, less regulation and immigration have all been talking points for Renfroe, along with the belief Referendum C was a bad idea. He said his message has played well with Weld's Republican base.
"Once I can talk to people and tell them what I stand for, good things happen," he said.
Landing the audience was tricky part. Renfroe wasn't known much outside of the building associations and church board he served on. His opponent for the seat now occupied by Sen. Dave Owen, R-Greeley, is a well-known Republican in Weld, Rep. Dale Hall.
Renfroe surprised many people Saturday and marked himself as a serious contender in District 13, when he defeated Hall by a slim margin in the county assembly and earned the top spot on the primary ballot. Hall had been the favorite since he announced his intention to switch from the House to the Senate and replace the term-limited Owen.
"It was a great day for conservatives," Renfroe said.
The vote by precinct delegates at Saturday's assembly throws the race open and ensures a competitive campaign season leading up to the primaries.
Democrats have introduced a relatively unknown candidate as well. University of Northern Colorado graduate student Solomon Little Owl will enter the primaries uncontested in his bid for the nomination for District 13 after Saturday's Democratic assembly.
Little Owl is director of UNC's Native American Student Services and entered the spotlight when he formed the Fightin' Whites intramural basketball team, named to protest American Indian mascots.
"He's young -- there's no getting around that -- but gee whiz, he's really sharp," Weld County Democratic Party Chairman Ray Peterson said. "He's a very sincere young man."
Peterson said Democrats emerged from Saturday's assembly with no contested races.

Why Does NBA Bombard Us on Christmas Day?
Short of some virtual, two-way Skype feed that allows the Heat to stay in Miami and the Lakers to stay in Los Angeles while playing a real-time game against each other, I'm not sure how to help Dwyane Wade. He took a legitimate beef to the NBA's commissioner-in-waiting, Adam Silver, by asking why the Heat were ordered to southern California for a Christmas Day game when they've won the last two NBA championships.
Shouldn't his team, by virtue of its title reign, at least receive the perk of playing the Christmas game in Miami so that Wade, LeBron James and teammates can spend part of the day with their families? Silver said he would take the suggestion under advisement, according to USA Today.
I have a better idea.
How about not playing on Christmas, period?
Yes, I'm aware that commercial greed has swallowed this sacred time of year, with holiday lights hanging at my mall in Santa Monica about an hour after the last Miley Cyrus Halloween tongue was sold. Still, why must we have five NBA games, beginning at noon in the East and finishing well past midnight on the 26th, a relentless blob of early-season basketball that provides nothing of worth but background dribble noise? The NFL is playing the entirety of its Week 17 games on Sunday, which is perfectly fine. College football's bowl season is pausing its mega-bloated schedule for Christmas, which is perfectly fine, giving us plenty of time to digest the Beef 'O' Brady's Bowl while waiting for the Little Caesars Pizza Bowl and San Diego County CU Poinsettia Bowl. But as Santa Claus goes home, there's old David Stern continuing to slide down chimneys everywhere, despite criticism from Phil Jackson and Stan Van Gundy -- and me -- that a non-stop NBA blitz on Dec. 25 might be a bit insensitive to the religious meaning of Christmas.
``If you ask any player, we'd rather be home with our families,'' James said. ``It's definitely one of those days that you wish you could wake up in the morning with the kids and open up presents."
``It used to be two teams. But I don't think anybody should play on Christmas Day,'' Jackson said last year, per the San Francisco Chronicle. ``Your little kids are putting batteries in their new toys, all kinds of family stuff going on, and now you're supposed to get focused on a game in the middle of the afternoon?"
I can't name a memorable NBA game played on Christmas. With injuries and big-city meltdowns turning the league into a multi-car pileup this season, the holiday fare is especially weak. Chicago, without Derrick Rose, is in Brooklyn to play a Nets team looking like the most expensive debacle in NBA history. Oklahoma City is performing well, but the Knicks are a farce. The Heat flew 3,000 miles to play a Lakers team that doesn't have Kobe Bryant but does have Xavier Henry. The nightcaps have a chance to be good -- Houston at San Antonio, L.A. Clippers at Golden State -- but by then, aren't we all wiped out from food, family and Fido?
One game, I might tolerate. But when five are scheduled over 13 hours, and at least three are lumps of coal anyway, it's time to question why the National Basketball Association is hijacking a holy holiday.

Dr. A.Celestine Raj Manohar M.D.,
A Lost Sheep? - Poem by Dr. A.Celestine Raj Manohar M.D.,
One sheep had left the flock some years ago!
The shepherd did allow this one to go;
It strayed to not a far away meadow;
Nevertheless, it was a blunder, oh!
What made this sheep to do this thing - none know;
Was it a decision in haste or more?
The shepherd knows the problem to the core;
But why did he permit it through the door?
Sometimes, some sheep get fed up with the grass;
Perhaps, meadows nigh seem greener, alas!
Some stray away for some kind of time-pass!
What senses tell us at times could be false!
Why did the shepherd not go after it?
All shepherds love their sheep alike in flock;
By succulence of grass, the sheep was hit;
Why did the heart of sheep become like rock?
The sheep didn't care to lose its master's fold;
By disobedience, it had turned quite bold;
Perhaps, it did not like what it was told;
May be, it wished to act as if quite old!
The sheep didn't know the dangers of the world;
It quite forgot the shepherd's heart of gold;
The taste of 'better' grass had changed its hold;
It thought it came from superior, a mould!
Some day, it will regret its great mistake;
The grass it eats now could become soon fake;
Its dreamy world could lose its sheen and make;
Let's hope it gets some wisdom for God's sake!
God gives much freedom to His creatures all;
By leading righteous life, we must depart;
Most sheep listen and heed to shepherd's call;
All heinous sins arise from human heart!
The Maker loves all creatures equally;
All souls are of same make and quality;
Neglecting God is each one's grave folly!
Man's sinfulness is boundless, what a pity!
The Almighty knows how to save all souls!
He gives a time enough and long to change;
He grants some persons newer better roles;
His saving grace has many forms and range!
Yet, man must never give up heaven's gaze;
Our earthly life is like a cage and maze;
Should we abandon God's meadow and graze?

Why don't we just look at the way people actually type rather than have them all lie about how awesome their grammar skillz are...

What do you like about your Hannigan Trike?
OK Hannigan Trike owners, here's your chance to brag on your Hannigan Trike and tell current and future trike owners why they should buy a Hannigan Trike or Trike Conversion. Topics of interest will be ride, handling, features, benefits, design, fitment, service, price, styling, etc. There will be NO FLAMING or complaining in this thread towards any dealer or the manufacturer as there are other places for that.
This thread will be based on your positive experiences and why you bought a Hannigan and why you recommend Hannigan to others. Please state the make and model of your bike and the make and model of your Hannigan Conversion along with how long you have owned it and how many Hannigan Trikes you have owned.
Re: What do you like about your Hannigan Trike?
I don't currently own a Hannigan trike, but I did and it was wonderful! I had dreamed of a V-rod trike for some years -- sort of like wanting a corvette just because it is HOT!!! When the opportunity arose, and the time was right, I bought an '09 V-rod and started planning. I found options for trike kits somewhat limited, but then I had the opportunity to tour the Hannigan factory, meet the wonderful family of owners and employees there, see the quality and exceptional design in person, and to see an example of their V-rod trike on the showroom floor. I was sold! The kit was sleek, sporty, and HOT -- just what I wanted!
Working with Dave, Ruth Ann, Andrew, John, and Jim was wonderful. They built the trike right there in their factory, and every part of it was top-notch including a flawless paint job. Questions and curiosity were welcomed, and I was always made to feel that my phone call or visit was valued and important to them.
The trike had independent suspension and the ride was smooth as silk. It certainly was unique and drew a lot of attention everywhere I went! I loved it, and would still have it had I not been broadsided in June of this year by someone running a stop sign.
But even though the very violent crash totaled the trike, breaking the axle and bending the bike frame, I give a lot of credit to the quality of the trike kit and build as I believe it contributed to saving me from critical injury or death. The trike NEVER tipped or wobbled. Although I was thrown off and did receive a lot of surface injury, I was able to ride out the initial collision for a second or two as the trike stayed upright and rolled forward/sideways away from the point of impact.
Without hesitation, I recommend Hannigan's products and their company to anyone considering them!

Re: What do you like about your Hannigan Trike?
I'm impressed with the engineering, it feels solid and rides smooth. I like the style of the new GEN2, IMO they did a great job taking inspiration from the 2012 Wing. Working with John was a great experience, I really appreciated them letting me park the enclosed trailer at their factory so I could save some money on gas. The paint is flawless a perfect match to the factory color which as a former painter I know how difficult it can sometimes be getting a good match. Before I bought a Hannigan I had folks who owned them tell me they were the Cadillacs and I believe them, I'm looking forward to many miles.

Re: What do you like about your Hannigan Trike?
We have an '09 Yamaha Royal Star Venture with Hannigan conversion done the summer of '10. Bike was new with 100 miles when converted. There were few conversions available for our bike, but was impressed by the Hannigan construction. Our trike is long and wide. The conversion almost doubled the price of our ride, but RSV was just too heavy to handle safely with the two of us aboard. We were very happy with the workmanship on our new trike, color match, fit, condition, etc. After a year, rear brakes began squealing very loudly. Took trike to Hannigan factory, and Jim Gooch replaced rotors with vented stainless steel rotors and replaced brake pads. Jim was very nice to me.
Reverse option was not available when we ordered conversion, but it is now available. Would have ordered reverse if it had been available. We live in NJ, and our trike has traveled from Key West to Sherbrooke, Canada to Arkansas to Minnesota and many rallies in between. Trike has climbed to the summit of Mt. Washington twice, and this summer we rode the Dragon and Cherohala Skyway. Trike now has 23,000 carefree miles, even though I had a broken shoulder during the summer of 2012, which disabled me for four months. Love to drive trike on the open roads. It gives such a nice ride. This year, plan to go to rally in Colorado and also visit some western national parks. Still trying to convince Jeannette to join me.Leo TOI #617

Re: What do you like about your Hannigan Trike?
I have ridden several other kits and your use of the term "Cadillac" about nailed it for me. Over the course of my looking to make this decision, and the time I have spent around the Trike Community, it was clear that the Hannigan name was synonymous with quality and craftsmanship. It's easy to see when you visit as the Team that works at the factory are like Family. I know this is a term that gets overused from time to time, but just spend some time onsite and you will see for yourself that these guys like Jim, Neil, Aron, Tim, Randy, Chris and the rest of the gang work hard to make it all happen and really do enjoy what they do. Oh and that John Lee guy is something to see in action . . . . . .
The Team went way beyond what I would have expected when transferring over my wheelchair rack and helping to work out my brake issues. They took something that was not made by them and insisted on making it better and that they did.
Having witnessed the commitment and attention to detail along with the passion to work with the customer is why I mentioned to Dave and Ruth Anne that I would welcome the chance to share what my experiences have been as I ride this great machine around the country. It's been said that life is a journey, and with this Hannigan, it's going to be a smooth, enjoyable ride.

Re: What do you like about your Hannigan Trike?
I have the 2009 Yamaha RSV hannigan trike, and love the way it performs. It's very smooth, and I love the wide body style. Every place I go people are always commenting on how wide the body is. The suspension is great. It takes the bumps so smoothly. I do like other trike kits - but the hannigan is very outstanding to them.
People have told me that hannigan trike can be seen very clearly at night due to the wide body. I have taken a note to that. I have watch drivers that wanted to pass me give me plenty of room. The bike is very visible at night. If I had to do it over again, I would purchase another hannigan trike.

Simply put-it is the smoothest riding trike of the many I tested before buying the Gen I Hannigan. It is also, IMO, the most maintenance free of all those I looked at.GOD said,"Turn from your evil ways and worship ME and I will HEAL YOUR LANDS!"

Re: What do you like about your Hannigan Trike?
I like the way Wheels tells his story of actually seeing the Hannigan trike build on his great looking machine. I bought my used 2009 BMW K1200LT already triked with just about every option they offered at the time. Best ride I've ever experienced on a bike.
With over 15,000 miles so far, the combination of the heavyweight LT touring bike, plus the Hannigan conversion with the independent rear suspension, auxiliary fuel tank and integration with the BMW ABS system, makes this a truly smooth riding, comfortable touring configuration.
It's no wonder that that every picture of an LT trike I've ever seen is a Hannigan. It feels like quality from front to back. I like the styling, the wide rear axle and huge trunk space.
An email to Hannigan quickly got me a few pages of recommended maintenance. I took that to the local BMW dealer when I put ol' Bessie in for some clutch work. The head mechanic later said that servicing the Hannigan rear end was easier than working on his own car. (Of course, it really helps that you can lift off the body to service the rear brakes and drive line.)
My previous trike was a Suzuki with a Lehman conversion and the difference between the straight axle and the IRS is like night and day. .... Yeah, yeah, I've talked to Lehman, CSC and Harley trikers who swear that they prefer the way a straight axle rides and handles, but I don't think I'll ever again own a trike that doesn't have IRS in back.
My opinion? Hannigan rocks!!!

Arizona political nonprofit faces lawsuit over robocalls
PHOENIX — The Phoenix-based political group Americans for Responsible Leadership is facing a lawsuit in Colorado that accuses the nonprofit of making illegal robocalls to cellphones.
The suit, filed last week in U.S. District Court in Denver, claims that Denver resident Marlo Edholm, the plaintiff, received five prerecorded calls from the group promoting Mitt Romney between Nov. 2 and Nov. 5.
Under the Telephone Consumer Protection Act, it is illegal to call a cellphone using either an autodialing system or a prerecorded message. It has exceptions for emergencies and when recipients consent to being called.
The lawsuit seeks class-action status, contending that Edholm was likely not alone.
"Our suspicion is that there are probably thousands of these calls that went out on the eve of this election in an effort to influence voters," said Joseph Mellon, lead counsel for the plaintiff.
Americans for Responsible Leadership, which doesn't have to disclose its donors because of how it's filed with the Internal Revenue Service, dispenses what's often referred to as dark money.
It contributed $1.5 million against two ballot propositions in Arizona, both of which failed in November. Proposition 121 would have changed Arizona's primary system to a nonpartisan one, while Proposition 204 would have established a 1 cent-per-dollar sales tax to benefit education and other causes.
The group made national headlines last year over $11 million it contributed to campaigns in California. Taken to court by that state's Fair Political Practices Commission, Americans for Responsible Leadership disclosed that the money came through two other dark money groups.
According to filings with the Arizona Corporation Commission, one of the founders of Americans for Responsible Leadership is Robert Graham, who recently was elected chairman of the Arizona Republican Party. Graham is the president and CEO of RG Capital, an investment advisory company in Scottsdale.
Kirk Adams, former speaker of the Arizona State House of Representatives and an unsuccessful candidate for Congress last year, was listed in the most recent filings as the group's president.
Barrett Marson, a spokesman for the group, said that Americans for Responsible Leadership had followed Federal Communications Commission rules and regulations and would defend against the lawsuit vigorously.
"Americans for Responsible Leadership made millions of phone calls around the country in last year's election, and this is the only complaint we've ever been made aware of about calls to cellphones," Marson said.
Americans for Responsible Leadership had yet to designate a lawyer to represent it in this case. Marson said the group hadn't been served with the lawsuit as of late last week.
The court documents propose that the class for the suit be defined as "all persons within the United States who received one or more non-emergency telephone calls from ARL to a cellular telephone through the use of an automatic telephone dialing system or an artificial or prerecorded voice, and who did not provide prior express consent for those calls."
The suit contends that Edholm, the Denver resident, and others who received calls are entitled to damages of between $500 and $1,500 for each robocall. It seeks an injunction prohibiting Americans for Responsible Leadership from making such calls in the future.
Derek Bambauer, an associate professor at the University of Arizona's James E. Rogers College of Law, said that the case's future likely hinges on its potential class-action status.
"If they don't get this certified as a class, the lawsuit goes away," he said, adding that the then-diminished amount of financial punishment usually outweighs whatever the plaintiff hopes to gain from the suit.
According to a year-end report filed with the Federal Election Commission, Americans for Responsible Leadership spent nearly $5.6 million on pro-Romney phone calls from Oct. 31 through election day on Nov. 6.
Most of the money was paid to Direct Response Group LLC, a Phoenix-based company, while $150,000 was paid to Victory Phones, a company with a Michigan mailing address and described on its website as "a leader in automated telephony services and data compilation."
