Crunchies Food Company offers a wide assortment of dried fruit and vegetable snacks. What makes them crunchy is their drying process?which takes place in a refrigerated vacuum. Supposedly, this allows the fruit to retain more natural flavor and nutrients, so Crunchies can avoid the use of sugar, preservatives or chemicals. One of the owners of Freeze-Dried Crunchies Natural Snacks is a motocross fan. Through the luck of an enterprising AMA National Motocross privateer, MXA test rider Dennis Stapleton and Crunchies Natural Snacks came together to form a racing team. Dennis has traveled the world racing motocross, and he has been in the sport a long time (he raced 450 Nationals when they were the 250 Nationals). Being a privateer, even one sponsored by the motocross magazine that he works for, has always been a challenge (made all that more difficult with the purse tightening of the current recession). Luckily, Dennis' experiences in the trenches as a magazine editor and an AMA Pro have made him savvy about getting enough help to get out to the Nationals or European races. So, one morning as Dennis Stapleton was pouring Strawberry Crunchies onto his yogurt, he had a brilliant idea. Why not talk to Crunchies about sponsoring a race team? Amazingly, such a simple idea resulted in a deal.
Stapleton's first race on his new Team Crunchies machine was at the World Four-Stroke Championship at Glen Helen?where he nearly holeshot the second moto. Next, Dennis went home to NorCal for the opening 450 AMA National at Hangtown, where he qualified for the big show. The following weekend saw Dennis on the line at the United States Grand Prix back at Glen Helen. Dennis, who has earned FIM Grand Prix points in the past (in Denmark), just missed earning FIM MX1 points by one spot. At the Freestone 450 National in Texas, Dennis qualified 27th overall, but got involved in first-turn carnage (in the same second moto crash that took out Ben Townley). Dennis persevered without a rear brake pedal. He went 26-29. It was a rocky start for the startup team, but there is something about seeing a bike with your logo on it that makes a sponsor proud as punch.
The Crunchies Natural Snacks-sponsored CRF450 of AMA National privateer Dennis Stapleton shows the minimum level of commitment that is required to race at the top level. The engine, brakes and suspension received most of the attention.
The MXA wrecking crew spends most of its time testing motorcycles?and Dennis Stapleton is a member in good standing of the test crew. But, for this assignment, Stapleton was banished to the sidelines as all the other MXA test riders lined up for a chance to test his Team Crunchies Honda CRF450.
If there's one thing Dennis Stapleton wants in a motocross bike at the National or Grand Prix level, it's a rocketship engine. The key to a good day is a good start?and good starts don't come to slow motorcycles. Dennis has tested virtually every production bike and every factory bike during his stint at MXA, and he knew through experience that he didn't want to mess around with trying to mix and match cams, pistons, valves and pipes. He wanted to get the best engine that he could with the least drama.
Dennis went straight to Mitch Payton at Pro Circuit. Mitch utilized Pro Circuit's consumer-spec piston, camshaft, valve springs, head porting and Ti-4R titanium exhaust system (and provided Dennis with FIM-legal mufflers for the USGP). There is nothing unobtainable in the Team Crunchies CRF450 engine. Anyone can build a Stapleton replica by calling Pro Circuit.
Pro Circuit's Ti-4R exhaust offered excellent power and was tunable enough to meet both FIM and AMA sound limits.
Thanks to bad experiences with the stock four-spring CRF450 clutch, and a great relationship with Wiseco, Dennis dropped the mushy stock four-spring clutch and replaced it with a Wiseco six-spring unit (including basket, pressure plate and inner hub). Wiseco CNC machines their clutch components, then hard anodizes and Teflon coats them. Wiseco feels that their clutch is so strong, compared to the stock clutch, that they offer a lifetime warranty on the parts. The Crunchies CRF450 used OEM clutch plates, Pro Circuit's stiffer clutch springs and a Pro Circuit clutch cover.
For the suspension, Stapleton went to Factory Connection. They revalved the components for the outdoor Nationals and went with the next stiffest fork springs (he kept the stock shock spring). Based on previous experience with Factory Connection, Dennis was able to get his preferred setup right away.
For the suspension, Stapleton went to Factory Connection. They revalved the components for the outdoor Nationals and went with the next stiffest fork springs (he kept the stock shock spring). Based on previous experience with Factory Connection, Dennis was able to get his preferred setup right away.
Pro Circuit also provided radiator hoses, a 1.6 kg/mm radiator cap (1.1 is stock), and red anodized dipstick and engine plugs. The radiator hoses were molded in a
Y-shape that eliminated the stock plastic fitting and decreased the chance of problems. The radiator cap keeps the radiators at a higher boiling point to lessen the risk of overheating in long, hot, summer Nationals. The metal dipstick is stronger than the stock plastic unit, while the engine plugs just look snazzy.
The Crunchies bike had a LightSpeed carbon fiber skid plate and chain guide for lightweight protection against rocks and damage, while the LightSpeed carbon fiber gas tank cover was just for looks. Dennis is a firm believer in Czech-built CZ chains and British-built Renthal sprockets. Stapleton normally adds one tooth to the rear sprocket (49 teeth instead of 48). The CZ chain wasn't the only European flavor on Stapleton's CRF450?he also runs a Dutch-made Moto Air two-stage foam air filter.
The first step in getting a handle on the CRF450's quirky handling is with a longer shock linkage.
National riders can't risk blowing a wheel in the high-intensity atmosphere of professional motocross. Team Crunchies relies on D.I.D. Dirtstar LT-X MX Light rims, Talon hubs, Bulldog spokes and spline-drive spoke nipples. To bring everything to a halt, Stapleton went with a QTM oversized front brake rotor matched to AP brake pads. For the deeply ripped AMA National tracks, Dunlop MX31 soft terrain tires were chosen for the front and rear.
In the cockpit of the Crunchies bike were Renthal TwinWall 997 bend bars with Sunline mounts to accommodate their oversize diameter. A Works Connection lever and Elite Perch were on the clutch side. Works Connection's digital display hour meter helps Dennis and his mechanic stay on top of the maintenance schedule, plus it records peak rpm on every ride.
Dennis' knee braces are hard on seats, so Dennis runs Stomp seat covers. Their thick rubber sides can stand up to the pressure. The finishing touch is the Crunchies logo from Oneighty Decals?who designed and laid out the graphics.
|The 270mm oversize QTM front rotor is mated to AP ORR?brake pads to ensure that what gets started gets stopped.
When we first kick-started the bike to life, we noticed the idle was pretty high. We complained, but later found out that Dennis does this as a strategy to save on the cost of clutch kits. Dennis, a clutch abuser, worked on modifying his riding style so that he could roll through turns using less clutch?bumping up the idle helped. The six-spring Wiseco unit felt so much better than the stocker that it was hard not to use it. In the name of testing, however, we resisted and tried Dennis' technique. We didn't like it, but we did carry more speed into the corners?and often through the banners on the other side of the track. The increased idle did prevent the infamous CRF flameout.
The Pro Circuit-tuned powerband was free-revving and responsive to the slightest wrist movements. Test riders could get a nice spurt any time they wanted to unweight the front or powerslide the rear. The engine's low-to-mid power was incredibly usable. The average local racer could stay in this part of the powerband most of the time and be competitive. But, the best part of the Crunchies powerband was the mid-and-up portion. When kept singing, the Crunchies bike made power that could run with the big dogs?unlike the stock CRF450, which we are forced to shift at 8200 rpm.
The Factory Connection suspension was a good middle-of-the-road setup. As a rule, we don't like Dennis Stapleton's suspension choices?he is an advocate of the "Pro Stiff School." Shockingly, we didn't hate Dennis' fork setup on his 2010 National bike. It was a firm enough platform to keep the forks high in their stroke, but not so stiff that the forks wouldn't absorb little bumps. It was very un-Dennis-like.
What we really liked on Stapleton's Team Crunchies CRF450 was the longer shock linkage. Stapleton added the Factory Connection link to lower the rear of the CRF450. This fought against the Honda's tendency to stinkbug and oversteer. Factory Connection had the shock set up to coordinate with the link. The balance of the bike was great, although Stapleton's shock settings aren't for everyone (we want to say they aren't for anyone, but his choice is how stiff most pros run their stuff).
Make no mistake about it, the most unique thing about Dennis Stapleton's CRF450 is that it is an AMA privateer bike that was built by the same method that every hardcore motocross racer?Novice or Vet?uses. Dennis went to the best people he could find to help him meet his goals.
It is also good to see that sponsors haven't disappeared from the face of the earth. They exist?you just have to go out and find them. Crunchies was brave enough to step up, and it is outside sponsors like them that help the sport grow. The MXA wrecking crew especially liked the Crunchies sponsorship scenario because they sent us a big box of tasty goodies. The Team Crunchies CRF450 is a competitive machine with mods that are readily accessible by anyone with the funds.
This is a win-win situation for Crunchies, Stapleton and MXA?Crunchies gets their name out there to a young demographic, Stapleton gets to the AMA Nationals and MXA gets to thrash Dennis' race bike.

When we think of government assistance programs, we also think of the purpose behind them: to help people live within their means independently in their communities. They provide food, housing and many other kinds of assistance that are needed. But sadly, there are people who take advantage of these programs, causing money to be diverted away from people who really need it.
On Nov. 29, federal officials in Seattle were given search warrants to investigate a couple for mail fraud, Social Security fraud and government benefits fraud. The investigation uncovered a Seattle chiropractor and a woman assumed to be his wife, were living in a $1.2 million house.
The woman claimed to be disabled and was receiving Social Security benefits. The chiropractor was collecting monthly payments of more than $1,000 from the federal Housing and Urban Development rent subsidy program for the woman living in the house.
HUD was not aware that the chiropractor was also living in the house as a family. There were also signs that they were living as a family because of things such as the address on their drivers' licenses and passports, and the chiropractor spoke to people about his family.
If HUD had been aware of this, all payments would have ceased. There is evidence that this sham of living in a lakefront home worth $1.2 million had been going on since 2003. They were also traveling overseas and driving fancy cars. The woman gained Section 8 housing by claiming to be living alone with her two children with assets of less than $5,000. So far, no official charges have been filed.
The U.S. Attorney's office in Seattle has filed a lawsuit that charges that the couple received $135,000 in housing benefits, welfare benefits and Food Stamps. The federal authorities say that the couple violated the False Claim Act at least seven times over the years, such as lying about their income to meet the income guidelines for the programs. The government is hoping the lawsuit will enable it to recover money from the couple.

Park peeve
I think that I shall scream if I read one more travel article that refers to my fair city's beautiful Forest Park as "a smaller version of New York City's Central Park" or "like Central Park in miniature" or "in many ways comparable to giants such as New York's Central Park". Let's get this straight once and for all:
- Central Park, New York City, NY: 843 acres
- Forest Park, St. Louis, MO: 1,293 acres
But Forest Park is neither an upstart (opened just three years after Central Park, during a period in the late 19th century that saw many cities develop massive urban parklands) nor a pipsqueak (approximately 50 percent more spacious than its East Coast cousin). So please, travel writers, spend a few seconds with Google or a decent encyclopedia and get it right.
And since you asked, some of my very favorite spring and summer activities are centered in the Park: strolling through our (free!) Zoo to visit the fauna at lunch time, taking a picnic to the Shakespeare Festival (presenting Richard III later this month), seeing a show at The Muny or having drinks by Post-Dispatch Lake at The Boathouse. Care to join me?

After eight soccer teams across the area won first-round matches in the girls and boys playoffs, four of those continue into the quarterfinals. In boys Division I, Captain Shreve defeated Northshore 1-0 at home, and in Division II, Loyola Prep scored an upset over Neville in the regional round.
The No. 11 Flyers edged Salmen at home in the opening round and will play in front of their home fans once again for Thursday's matchup with No. 3 Vandebilt Catholic in the quarterfinals. Captain Shreve will go on the road for the first time this postseason taking on No. 2 St. Paul's in quarterfinal match in Covington.
In girls soccer, Byrd defeated East Ascension in Division I and Loyola blew by district foe North Desoto 10-0 in Division II. The Yellow Jackets got two late goals from Kyra Montes to secure the win in a tough match.
"We knew it would be a physical game. We expected that," Byrd Coach Lisa Levermann told the Shreveport Times. "We just had to stay out of it and play our game. It was tight right up until the end but we were able to see it through and now we can regroup for the next game."
Byrd continues its playoff run Monday, traveling to Lafayette for a 4:30 p.m. start in its first postseason game away from home, and No. 3 Loyola hosts No. 6 Teurlings Catholic today as well.
PLAYOFF HOPEFULS: The girls' regular season ended on Saturday and the final power rankings were released on Monday. A total of 17 teams in the area across all five classes were projected to earn a spot in the postseason, with eight starting the playoffs at home, when the brackets were released Monday by the LHSAA.
Class 2A North Caddo had the No. 1 power ranking after an undefeated run in district play and a 29-1 record and earned the No. 1 seed. The Rebels will host Oak Hill in a first-round game.
Southwood (5A), Fair Park (4A) and Arcadia (1A) also went undefeated in their districts and were rewarded with decent seeds. Southwood is No. 8, Fair Park is No. 7, and Arcadia is No. 5 in their brackets.
"We have discussed making the playoffs and we are looking forward to the competition," Southwood forward Michelle Parker told the Shreveport Times. "We know we have to work hard to get to the playoffs and then we have to work harder once we're in."
Other tournament participants include Airline (26) and Haughton (27) in Class 5A, Loyola Prep (18), Benton (19), Huntington (22) and Woodlawn (26) in Class 4A, Mansfield (6), Green Oaks (12) and Evangel (28) in Class 3A, Lakeview (11) and Red River (16) in Class 2A and Plain Dealing (20) and Cedar Creek (29) in Class 1A.
WRESTLING CHAMPS: The Bossier Parish wrestling champion was crowned on Saturday in the Bossier High School gymnasium. Airline, the lone Division I school of the five participants, walked away with the title by winning all four of its dual matches and having six wrestlers selected to the all-parish team.
"We're starting to peak at the right time," Airline Coach Jerry Burton told the Shreveport Times. "In years past, we've had two weeks off before the state championships. We've got a few kids banged up, but wrestling this weekend is a good experience."
Bossier placed second by defeating every team but Airline, and Benton and Parkway finished third and fourth, respectively.

What was it like to live in Beirut during the Israel-Lebanon war of 2006? Lebanese agronomy professor and social activist Rami Zurayk spent the whole war in Beirut with his family. War Diary: Lebanon 2006 is his record of the 33-day-long onslaught.
Describing it as "magnificent," British author and journalist Matt Carr praised the book in these terms:
"Alternately angry, poignant, blackly comic, despairing and humane, his diary provides a very personal perspective on the war, on Israel, and on Lebanese and Arab politics that was – and is – almost entirely absent in the Western media."
During the 2006 war, the Israeli military killed 1,200 Lebanese citizens-- most of them civilians-- and destroyed a large proportion of the country's infrastructure: power plants, factories, vital bridges, and the whole, densely populated area of southern Beirut known as the "Dahieh". (43 Israeli civilians and 121 Israeli military were also killed in the war.)
Throughout those 33 days in the summer of 2006, Israel's hi-tech, lethal (and U.S.-supported) military was trying to inflict such suffering on Lebanon's people that it would turn them against Hizbullah, which was both a resistance movement and a political party with members in the national parliament. At first, some Lebanese people seemed responsive to the argument Israeli spokesmen made, that the death and destruction their country was suffering was "all Hizbullah's fault." For his part, Zurayk was one of the many Lebanese leftists who countered that argument, seeing Israel's attack as yet another episode in the West's decades-long project to subjugate the Arab world.
As the war dragged on and Lebanon's intense suffering continued, Israel's arguments became less persuasive-- and Hizbullah gained the respect of increasing numbers of Lebanese. In the end, Israel failed in its core goal of turning Lebanon's people against Hizbullah. By the time the war ended, Hizbullah was more popular than ever before-- in Lebanon, and throughout the Arab world.
War Diary: Lebanon 2006 brings to its readers Zurayk's vivid pictures of the horror and the emotional and political complexities of those days. Two excerpts:
July 22:
It is at times like these, when everything is collapsing, that I start wondering what Lebanon really is and who its people are. I mean, this is a place where half the population is rejoicing because Israel is bombing the other half! But then again, this is a place where the streets are still named after the generals who invaded the country and killed its people: Gouraud is one of them, a man who ordered the French Army into South Lebanon to quell the insurrection against the French mandate. The "Colonne Sud" carried out air raids on Bint Jubayl and executed freedom fighters, such as Adham Khanjar, way before the Israelis started practicing similar tactics...
August 8:
... My friend who lives in Chiyah has not left it yet, and he has been waiting with his parents, his disabled sister, his wife, and five children for the Israelis to bomb his street. Two nights ago, as the bombing was getting closer, he took them all to sleep on the sidewalk of the nuns' school where his children go in Ain el Remaneh. Can you imagine the kids' trauma? You go to the school like the other kids, but every day you pass by the sidewalk where you and your parents have slept. They left at 5:30 a.m. so no one would see them, and the moment they got home, the Israelis brought down two buildings 200m away from his house. More traumas. I gave him my camper van, and he came last night to sleep on the corniche, near [the American University of Beirut], as the Israelis won't ever bomb an American institution. They had barely left Chiyah when the Israelis raided a building 50m away from theirs. Forty people were dead and 100 wounded at least. When I opened the roof of the camper, his 12-year-old daughter started shouting and crying, "Close it, please close it, they will think it's a rocket launcher and kill us all!" It took me a while to understand what she meant.

To the Editor:
I have anxiously watched the redesign of Forman Park as part of the Connective Corridor. I see far too much concrete and steel to please the eye or to help us reconnect with the natural world in this "redesigned" park. The huge concrete bunker-shaped benches are very ugly and there is too much sidewalk and concrete covering the Earth and grass where it is not needed. A few standard park benches would be more in scale and could be moved or removed without much cost. How does one rearrange the concrete monstrosities?
Surely, a less obtrusive and less assuming design could have been created by State University College of Environmental Science and Forestry students (no insult to them intended as they do fine work).
The beauty of this park lies in the majesty of its large old trees and the uncovered, unspoiled Earth. Any "improvement" should build on these assets, not obscure them.
I understand that this is intended as a memorial to deceased firefighters and police, but the current design does not honor them. I would also say that any public park design that puts a running child at risk is not sound, useful or in the public interest. What I see is an urban concrete forest designed for sitting.
I consider this to be urban blight at taxpayers' expense. The grant money that was used for this came from us somewhere along the line.

SPRINGFIELD – The Urban League of Springfield, prodded by the city, is packing and will move from its current headquarters on State Street by Nov. 15 according to its president.
The move of the Urban League from 765 State St., allows that building to be restored as a full-service branch library in the Mason Square area – long sought by many neighborhood residents and city officials.
The City Council plans to consider a vote Monday night to authorize the sheriff to take possession of the building if the council is not satisfied with the progress to move.
Henry M. Thomas III, president of the Urban League, said Friday "we are definitely out by the 15th" of November. That was the latest deadline agreed upon by the Urban League and city officials.
The Urban League is moving to the Springfield Technical Community College Technology Park at State and Federal streets.
Although not happy by the forced relocation, the Urban League is excited to be moving to the technology park, Thomas said.
Some residents and city officials have been critical of the Urban League for the length of time it has taken to vacate the current site.
The city took ownership of the Urban League's building in September 2009 by eminent domain in order to return its use to a neighborhood library. The Urban League had owned it for six years and continues to object to the taking.
In June, the Urban League said it would move by Sept. 30, but then said it would take longer than expected.
Thomas said the movers will be completing the job sometime between Thursday and the deadline to vacate the building.
The move will create some hardships for the Urban League and for residents who benefit from the services offered, such as programs for youth and senior citizens, Thomas said.

NEW DELHI: Clearing government stand on FDI in multi-brand retailing, Commerce and Industry Minister Nirmala Sitharaman has said the NDA government will not entertain foreign direct investment in multi-brand retail.
However, the government has not initiated any move to scrap the policy of allowing FDI in multi-brand retail approved by the previous UPA government.
The mandate given to government is on the basis of our manifesto...we do not entertain FDI in multi-brand retail, she said.
She said FDI flows have not been consistent in past few years. During the last three years FDI inflow has fluctuated.
FDI inflow decreased by 26.33 percent in 2012-13 and increased by 6.12 percent in 2013-14, she said.
FDI flow is dependent on the business environment and how decisions are made, she said, adding FDI inflow has been skewed in favour of Mauritius.
Mauritius accounted for $80.809 billion out of $222.89 billion that came to India between 2000 and 2014.
We are using FIPB to carry out check (on investing companies), she said.
Even in sectors where FDI is allowed under automatic route, RBI scrutinises the funds flow, she said.
RBI and Department of Revenue through FIPB takes critical look at the kind of investment coming into India, she said.
Under the liberalised economic environment, investment decisions of investors are based on the macro-economic policy framework, investment climate in the host country, investment policies of the trans-national corporations and other commercial considerations, the Minister said.

What: Shares of electronics retailer RadioShack (NYSE: RSH ) fell 11% today after the company gave weak earnings guidance.
So what: Management expects to report fourth-quarter earnings of $0.50 to $0.54 per share, below estimates of $0.66 per share. To put icing on the cake, CEO Julian Day said he would be stepping down in May and CFO Jim Gooch will take over.
Now what: The management shakeup is helping push shares lower because analysts think it makes RadioShack less likely to be taken over in the short term, but the guidance is more concerning. The weaker results followed a similar hit at Best Buy (NYSE: BBY ) last month as electronics retailers fight competition from big-box stores and online retailers. It doesn't look like electronics retailers will be able to fend off competition anytime soon, leaving this Fool to run for the hills today.

NEW YORK -- Victor Cruz's uncertain Giants future has the attention of all his teammates. One of them, running back David Wilson, said he hopes the dynamic young receiver gets an offer from the Giants he can't refuse.
"I think he's a key player," Wilson said today in Harlem, while appearing at a Boost Mobile "Shrink Hunger" community event. "If I was in charge, I would have gave him a contract to make sure he don't go nowhere."
Cruz, who holds the franchise's single-season receiving record, was given a first-round restricted free-agent tender from the Giants, but the sides haven't been able to agree yet on a long-term deal. Wilson was asked if that means he would give Cruz a blank check.
"I mean, you've got to be logical with it," Wilson added with a grin. "But I would definitely want him on my team, especially the success that he's had in the city."
Other teams have until April 19 to submit competing offer sheets for Cruz. The Giants have the ability to match, or receive a first-round pick in compensation.
"I haven't heard anybody give him an offer sheet," said right guard Chris Snee, who also participated in the Boost Mobile event, which will help City Harvest fight hunger in New York City. "I sure hope he's back. He's a dynamic player. You guys know, he's great. He fits well in our offense. Eli (Manning) has a great relationship with him on the field, so I hope he's back."

Eric Thomas was beginning to panic.
It was 10:07 a.m. Sunday at the Farm Show. He and his four Belgian draft horses were competing in the draft horse hitched competition at 11 a.m. against 7 other teams, and one horse was still in his stall waiting to be groomed; a piece of the wagon had broken earlier that morning; he wasn't dressed for showing; and all four horses needed to be hooked up to the wagon that was sitting outside.
While an hour might seem like plenty of time, especially with three-quarters of his team ready to go. Everybody helped Thomas – his two daughters, Katie, 20, and Kristen, 17; friend, Lisa Witmer, 26; a friend of Lisa's and a boy named Bobby. They all got a little more serious, and quiet, and started to work a little faster.
Because an hour really wasn't much time.
Thomas, 51, of Glen Rock, said it takes 15 minutes to hook a horse up to the wagon.
He directed as the other four brushed, cleaned, braided and harnessed Buddy, the youngest and last of Thomas' Belgians. At 6 years old, Buddy is huge. He is probably 18 hands, or roughly 6 feet, at the top of his shoulders and weighs about 2,000 pounds.
But there is no time to vacuum Buddy, like the others, to get the extra dust and hay off of him. He just gets a thorough brushing before Thomas slips a complicated, $3,000 harness over his head and begins adding the rest of the lines to the harness. Tails and manes are braided. Ribbons and bows are added.
As Thomas then ducks into a stall to change into a nice pair of pants, collared shirt and tie, Witmer's friend comes behind all of the horses with a soft dust rag and a can of Pledge and removes fingerprints from the harnesses.
Bridles, bits and blinders are the last thing to be slipped over the horses' heads before they are led out to the wagon.
Thomas bought his first pair of Belgians, Lieutenant Dan and Commander-in-Chief, in 2000.
He's shown at the Farm Show since 2006.
"As a kid I wanted elephants," he said. "But my parents wouldn't let me get them. When my daughters wanted horses, they got [riding horses] and I got draft horses."
Altogether he owns five: Lieutenant Dan, now retired but still comes to all the shows; Major, who is the right wheel, behind on the right; Buddy, on the left next to Major and a bit "screwy" according to Thomas; Royce, Thomas' favorite out front; and Rocky, next to Royce.
"He's the sweetest of the bunch," Thomas said of Rocky. "The dominant one. The kingpin. The boss."
The horses are hitched up to a wagon with the name of Thomas' farm on it: Taylor Bennet Farm. Named after his daughters' middle names.
"Draft horses used to be the tractor-trailers," Thomas said. "Companies would pull their goods to market. They'd decorate the wagons with logos and the horses in the company colors."
Thomas' Belgians are decorated with red and blue ribbons. Taylor Bennet colors.
The big draft horses are bred to pull, he said.
Judging is based on how well matched the horses look, how well they work as a team, how animated they look as they pull the wagon at a brisk trot around the arena.
"The heavier the shoe, the higher they pick up their feet," Thomas said. "The more animated they trot. Stomping out like a sewing machine," he said, all characteristics on which the horses are judged.
Right now, Thomas is the president of the Pennsylvania Draft Horse and Mule Association. Next month, the group will have its reorganization meeting and they'll vote Witmer in as president.
His daughter, Kristen, is the 2012 youth representative for the association – the Draft Horse Queen. Between the six-horse hitch and four-horse hitch, she'll hand over her title to her successor.
Kristen said she and her sister, Katie, have been helping their dad prepare the horses for showing since she was 12 and Katie was 10.
"We braid and harness, hook them up to the wagon, and drive," Katie said. "Everything you could possible think of … when you live with the boss."
Thomas and his team started grooming the horses at 9 a.m.
"It's a lot of prep work," Witmer said. "The majority of the work is behind the scenes."
But owning draft horses doesn't have to be just pulling around a wagon. Thursday the draft horse association will hold its "pleasure showing" event at the Farm Show. It is, Witmer said, more relaxed and laid back.
In addition to pulling a sled between obstacles and pickup up items, Thomas has added barrel racing on horseback with the draft horses. Like rodeo horses.
"I think that would be fun," he said. "I think the crowd would really enjoy that."
By 11 a.m., Thomas and Katie are up on the wagon seat, reins in hand and all the horses are hitched.
The horses were anxious to go; they bobbed their heads and pawed at the ground. Buddy was champing at his bit and Major was nudging Rocky in the butt.
They get very excited when they see the wagon," Kristen said. "They love to work. They love this."
Off into the arena they trotted for maybe 10 minutes of circling around. In the end, they came away with third place. Another team of Belgians got first place. A set of gleaming, black Percherons came in second.
Thomas said he was happy with third place.

Dear Rick This is great info. I'll let you know what I find out. Regards, Mike K1PEV -----Original Message----- From: firstname.lastname@example.com [mailto:firstname.lastname@example.com] On Behalf Of Rick - DJ0IP / NJ0IP Sent: Tuesday, February 21, 2012 3:37 AM To: 'Discussion of Ten-Tec Equipment' Subject: Re: [TenTec] Omni C mixer PTO problem Mike, As you said, the reading on the counter display tells us the problem is with the PTO. Actually it can be the PTO, OSC. MIXER, or VFO AMP. It won't be beyond that point, unless something is shorting to ground and pulling it all down. TROUBLESHOOTING: Once you have a scope or a frequency counter, you can troubleshoot the problem MUCH better. . We have already ascertained that there is no jumper missing. . *** PLEASE TROUBLESHOOT ON 20M ONLY. *** REASON: 20m does not use an extra xtal oscillator and mixer. All other bands do. 20m mixes the 5 MHz directly with the 9 MHz LO of the SSB board. You have fewer stages involved which could cause the trouble. . Measure the 5 MHz VFO signal. The easiest place is right on the VFO out/in jacks on the back panel.. . If OK, also measure the 5 MHz again on PIN-5 of the Accessory Jack. (on 20m, this is still just the 5 MHz signal, but at that point it has successfully passed through the RX Mixer and VFO AMP board. That's just a quick check, but it's right there near the VFO jacks and easily accessible. . If the signal is not on PIN-5 of the Accessory Jack, then go directly to the VFO AMP board (80454). You should have 5 MHz on PINS 2, 4, and 6 of the plug. If missing on all, then the problem is back in the OSC. MIXER board (80455) - or the cable to it. If missing on some, then the problem is on that board. . On 20m, the VFO 5 MHz just passes through the OSC MIX board, via D1 and a wafer of the band switch. You should see 5 MHz on the input side and on the output side. This is a tough board to work on because of the bandswitch. You can't just simply remove it. You should have a 5 MHz signal on both sides of D1. . I don't think the problem is beyond the OSC. MIX and AMP board because otherwise the counter would read correctly. REPAIRING: . I think you should start by lifting and reseating the VFO AMP board (50454). . You may not be able to lift the OSC. Mixer board (80455) but maybe you can remove the screws and move it up and down a millimeter or 2, just to clean the contacts. . What you do after that depends on what you found when measuring above. Hope some of this helps. 73 Rick, DJ0IP -----Original Message----- From: email@example.com [mailto:firstname.lastname@example.com] On Behalf Of Michael Silevitch Sent: Tuesday, February 21, 2012 12:53 AM To: Discussion of Ten-Tec Equipment Cc: Michael Silevitch Subject: Re: [TenTec] Omni C mixer PTO problem Dear Scott I will bring home some test equipment from the university where I teach.

Dubai - Leg-spinner Shahid Afridi capped an excellent return to international cricket with three wickets as Pakistan thumped Sri Lanka by eight wickets in the first day-night match here on Friday.
Afridi took 3-27 in his first match since returning from a six-month exile, helping Pakistan dismiss Sri Lanka for a paltry 131 in 40.3 overs before Younis Khan and Imran Farhat hit fifties to anchor the chase at Dubai stadium.
Pakistan lost Mohammad Hafeez (five) in the second over of their innings but Farhat added 103 for the second wicket stand with Younis Khan (56 not out) to ensure a 1-0 lead in the five-match series.
Farhat hit leg-spinner Seekkuge Prasanna for his seventh boundary to reach his ninth one-day fifty but with only 17 needed he was trapped leg-before wicket by paceman Suranga Lakmal for 50.
Younis, whose fifty was his 45th in one-dayers, took the team past the target in just 21.5 overs. He hit seven boundaries during his 57-ball knock.
Pakistan were on course for a comprehensive win thanks in large part to Afridi, who finished with 3-27 and was ably supported by Saeed Ajmal (2-21) and Mohammad Hafeez (2-24) as Sri Lanka lost their last seven wickets for 54 after opting to bat.
Dinesh Chandimal top-scored with 28 while opener Tharanga Paranavitna (25) and Mahela Jayawardene (24) were other notable scorers but none went on to make a big score against some lethal spin bowling.
Sri Lanka lost Tillakaratne Dilshan in the second over of the match, bowled by paceman Aizaz Cheema for four.
With their captain back in the pavilion, Sri Lanka did not recover as wickets continued to fall, in-form Kumar Sangakkara falling for five after struggling through 24 deliveries.
Chandimal and Paranavitana added 30 for the third wicket before Pakistan's spinners ran riot, grabbing the last seven wickets for a mere 54 runs.
Afridi, who only last month decided to go back on a decision to retire from international cricket in protest at being sacked as one-day captain, struck in his first over of the match.
Chandimal hit him for a six off his fourth ball, but the leg-spinner had him leg-before the very next ball. Chandimal hit two sixes and a four off 31 balls.
The 31-year-old Afridi then dismissed Prasanna (five) and Lasith Malinga (11) during his incisive 9.3 overs spell.
Jayawardene and Paranavitana were the others to provide some resistance but they too departed to spinners.
The second match will also be played in Dubai on Monday. The remaining matches are scheduled for Dubai (November 18), Sharjah (November 20) and Abu Dhabi (November 23).
The teams will also play a Twenty20 in Abu Dhabi on November 25.

TUSCALOOSA, Alabama - The memories of Alabama's visit to Florida are still fresh.
And though the Crimson Tide has moved on to begin preparations for Vanderbilt, it's hard not to savor some of the great games between Alabama and Florida over the years.
ESPN was kind enough to offer al.com newspapers a preview trailer for "The Play That Changed College Football," a documentary on the inaugural SEC championship game in 1992.
The documentary is tentatively scheduled for Dec. 1 at 10 p.m. CDT, and will be shown on ESPNU. It is part of ESPN's SEC 'Storied' series.
Undefeated Alabama defeated Florida 28-21 at Legion Field that day. Antonio Langham intercepted a pass from Shane Matthews and returned it 27 yards for the winning score.
The Tide landed in the Sugar Bowl and defeated Miami for a 12th national championship.
So what do you think?

Tagged: Blog, date, Latest News, posts, Widget
how/where can I delete the date only from the "latest news" widget (posts should still show the date!)?
Hi colorit2,
If you can provide a link to your site showing that widget we can target it directly with some css.
My site is still offline, because it's still not ready, but this widget looks like the widget on the demo.
See here "latest news" in the footer:
31. März 2011 - 13:13
How can I
a) hide the whole date + time
b) hide only the time and keep the date
If you want to keep the date insert following code at the very bottom of functions.php
add_filter('avia_widget_time', 'avia_date_change');
function avia_date_change() {
return get_option('date_format');
If you want to hide the date completely use following css code:
.widget .news-time{
display: none !important;
great, thank you very much, Dude!
The topic 'How to delete the date from the "latest news widget"?' is closed to new replies.

If you use Outlook to check and manage your email, you can easily use it to check your Gmail account as well. You can setup your Gmail account to allow you to synchronize email across multiple machines using email clients instead of a browser.
The only problem I have is that when Outlook opens, I have to click on each folder to syncronise that folder. Send & Receive works without a problem, but it would seem that the synchronisation only happens when you click to open the folder.
I'm having a problem permanently deleting e-mail. I went through and deleted hundreds of e-mails in the browser version of Gmail, then opened Outlook and deleted hundreds of e-mails there. Periodically, the very same e-mails are being automatically re-sent to Outlook. It's driving me nuts!!!!
works exactly as described. Thank you

3-Day Forecast
It's about time I do some explaining to KU fans.
First of all, I can live with the prediction I made three months ago that Kansas would not be successful in defending its Big 12 championship.
That should not be considered a bold or wreckless call by any means.
Not when this team had four new starters.
Where I really screwed up in all of this -- what bothers me the most -- is the fact I missed on how much of an impact Bill Self really has on this basketball team.
It goes without saying, he's a great coach.
What sets him apart from most, Bill Self is a brutally honest man.
That's a rare combination in coaching circles.
After a December loss to Davidson, Self admitted his team wasn't very good.
He also wondered out loud if this bunch would even make the tournament.
Self then pulled no punches, wondering if his players even liked one another back in December.
This was all coming down only two weeks before the conference season was to begin.
I'm convinced Self was not using those words as some kind of psychological ploy to goose or fire up his troops.
He doesn't operate that way.
Now, three months later, these Jayhawks are two wins away from another national championship.
Still, there have been red flags along the way, as recently last week in this tournament.
The close call against Purdue, then barely surviving against North Carolina State and the shootout against Carolina -- there's one common theme here.
This is one resilient and tough basketball team because of its leader.
How can Bill Self not be the national coach of the year?
Regardless of what happens in New Orleans, this KU team has turned out to be one of the great over-achieving stories in college basketball.
It is a story that I badly whiffed on back in December.
That's Jack's Smack.

Burgettstown to recognize Good Egg award winner
BURGETTSTOWN, Pa. – The Burgettstown Community Library will recognize Norman Smith, its annual Stunda Good Egg award winner with a special reception at 7 p.m. May 15 at the library located on 2 Kerr St.
Smith was nominated for his active volunteer work at the Burgettstown Area Senior Center.
The Good Egg Award was established in 1980 by Friends of the Library to recognize unsung heroes in the community. In 1985, the award became the Stunda Good Egg Memorial following the deaths of John and Barbara Stunda. The Stunda family established a memorial for them with the library and makes an annual monetary donation to the library honoring the Good Egg recipient. The Good Egg's name is placed on a plaque in the library, and the recipient is presented with an award, which was originally a ceramic egg made by Barbara Stunda, a ceramist who participated in library fairs and was an active library volunteer.
"I remember how (his mother) thought (the award) was a wonderful idea," said John Stunda Jr.
The ceramic egg continued as the award for several years and was made by Ethel Cundiff, Barbara Stunda's mother. After Cundiff's passing, John Stunda Jr.'s mother-in-law, Nina Sokolowsky, made the egg for several years until her own passing. It is now a custom decorated ceramic plate.
The presentation of the award was always held the week of Barbara Stunda's birthday, May 12; she would have been 75 years old this year.

MARTIN – It's a question that Alex Hossler is asked all the time, and yet, the veteran drag racer still doesn't have an answer for it.
What does it feel like to hop into your 1969 Pro Extreme supercharged Camaro and rip off a pass of 215 mph on an eighth-mile stretch of dragstrip?
"Some guys say it is like getting hit in the back with a baseball bat," said Hossler, who is headed to Martin's U.S. 131 Motorsports Park with the rest of the doorslammers for Saturday and Sunday's American Drag Racing League's Summer Drags IX.
One has to image that it is Prince Fielder who's swinging that bat, too.
"I don't have a good way to explain it," Hossler continued. "We will do over four (g-forces). It is the most raw feeling that you can imagine. You have to be mentally prepared because the rear tires are constantly spinning faster than the front, and it is possibly wanting to change direction on you. You have to stay on top of it."
Hossler, of Canton, Ill., drives for Al-Anabi Racing, which is one of the most prominent teams in drag racing, and he will be one of the drivers to watch this weekend. He holds the world record for quickest elapsed time for a doorslammer in an eighth-mile pass, which he set in April in the Georgia Drags in Valdosta, Ga. Hossler went 3.567 seconds, although he was quick to add that he doesn't expect that record to hold for too much longer.
In fact, Hossler said don't be surprised if his record falls this weekend at Martin.
"If the high is only in the upper 70s, and the track is always good there, I don't see why there can't be at least four or five cars in the Pro Extreme class running in the 3.50s at 210 miles per hour," Hossler said. "Definitely, especially, if we get a little cloud cover and keep the sun off the track, we could see multiple records in multiple classes."
The ADRL will return with eight classes of racing, with qualifying for the pro classes scheduled for Saturday, followed by eliminations Sunday. Divisions include Pro Nitrous, Extreme Pro Stock, Pro Extreme Motorcycle, Pro Mod, Top Sportsman, Top Dragster and Pro Drag Radial.
Jason Scruggs of Tupelo, Miss., is the defending Pro Extreme event winner, and he set the Martin track elapsed time record for an eighth-mile pass last year when he went 3.638 seconds. Scruggs will be returning in his 1963 Corvette, and like Hossler, he said look for record runs as well.
"Definitely, you are going to see the track record broken, I'm pretty confident of that," Scruggs said. "You might see three or four cars flirt with the (world record).
"Last year, we set a track record at 3.63, and I'm pretty sure that's going to fall. I think it is going to be a great race and a lot of side-by-side racing."
Scruggs is a two-time ADRL champion, and he enters this weekend's action fifth in points. He has one victory, taking top honors in Cordova, Ill., in May.
"We have had a good car all year long, but we have been hit or miss," Scruggs said. "We lost a few races that we shouldn't have, and we have won a race. But I think we have a better car than that. We are sitting there fourth or fifth in the points, but I think we should be up a little closer in points. We just can't beat ourselves."
This weekend's races are the fourth stop on the eight-event ADRL schedule, and Hossler is fourth in points. He said he is hoping to make up ground this weekend.
"I have been to the final round a couple of different times (at Martin)," Hossler said. "I have never won there and have come close to it as you can without doing it. We would like to seal the deal this weekend."
Tickets are free Saturday and Sunday, Fans are charged $20 to park each vehicle both days. Spectator gates open at 9 a.m. both days, with Sportsman qualifying scheduled to begin Saturday at 10 a.m., with professional qualifying at 11:30 a.m. Eliminations begin Sunday at 11 a.m.
It is annually one of the most popular events at Martin each summer.
"I think the biggest thing is that people can relate to the cars," Hossler said. "All the cars on the track are recognizable, unlike a Top Fuel Dragster or Funny Car. They can relate to our cars. They can tell the difference between a 1969 Camaro and a 1970 Ford Mustang."

Kim Bergeron now has a BRAVO! statue. The magnificent, original work of art by Kelly Landrum-Hammell was presented during a recent reception hosted by the Slidell Commission on the Arts and the City of Slidell, honoring Bergeron for her passion for the arts, arts advocacy initiatives, and her dedication to the Slidell arts community.
Evidence of Stadler's comment is apparent in the long list of achievements linked to Bergeron, who joined the City of Slidell as its Media Specialist in 2002, and was
promoted to the Director of Cultural and Public Affairs in 2006, a
position she held through 2012.
In 2004, Bergeron established the city's Cultural Season Sponsorship program, and she subsequently secured more than $650,000 in sponsorships and grants for these programs, such as the Olde Towne Slidell outdoor mural initiative.
Bergeron's work for the city has been honored with nearly two dozen national City-County Communications and Marketing Association (3CMA) Savvy Awards; a Telly Award for the "Day of Destruction" Katrina mini-documentary; the 3CMA President's Award for the most outstanding marketing plan from all entries received from throughout the United States — only one city in the U.S. receives this award every year, selected from more than 600 submissions each year; and, the prestigious National League of Cities' Gold Award for Municipal Excellence, the only time any Louisiana city has received this prestigious award.
Bergeron is a co-founder and past chairwoman of the East St. Tammany Cultural Economy Coalition, was in 2013 named one of City Business' 50 Business Women of the Year, and also is the recipient of the Rotary Club of Slidell's 2013 Bill Lowry Service Above Self Award and Paul Harris Fellow, the Leadership Northshore Alumni Association's 2013 Pearl Award for Community Stewardship, Louisiana Volunteer Service Award for the Train of Hope Hurricane Sandy relief efforts, Louisiana's Culture Connection Award for national achievement in the arts and Lt. Governor Mitch Landrieu's Certificate of Proclamation for Shining the Light on Louisiana.
Joining Stadler in toasting Bergeron at her reception were Slidell arts leaders Mary DuBuisson, and Slidell Councilman Bill Borchert, who recalled that every time he left a Slidell City Council meeting, he knew Bergeron was hard at work, as the lights were still burning in the city's Department of Cultural and Public Affairs office. "That was every night," Bergeron responded with a grin.
Also saluting Bergeron was her brother, John Chauffe, who stressed how vital a strong cultural arts program is to a vibrant community and, in fact, to a city's financial bottom line. Lt. Governor Jay Dardenne echoed that the arts and tourism are high-return investments during a visit to Slidell earlier this month. "For every $1 we spend, we're going to bring $17 back to the people of Louisiana," Dardenne said.
Though Bergeron had no prepared notes to present during the reception, she spoke from the heart about the joy she received "doing something that I love so dearly - advocating for the arts and bringing people together to create a sense of community through the arts."
Bergeron accepted the award on behalf of all those who contributed to the work for which she was being honored. "Though the award has my name on it, it really belongs to the incredible 'Dream Team' of the staff of the Department of Cultural and Public Affairs, Susan Schmidt and Alex Carollo, as we worked so beautifully together to make magical and sometimes seemingly impossible things happen."
She thanked the administration and departments that were supportive of the arts, and the "fabulous" Slidell Commission on Cultural Affairs. "I'd often come to them with some pretty extreme ideas for programs, and asked simply that they trust me," she reflected. "Not only would they trust me, they'd ask what I needed them to do to help. They are just amazing, and the city is lucky to have them."
Finally, she expressed her gratitude to the residents of Slidell. They always were supportive and appreciative of the department's efforts, she said, adding that she and her "Dream Team" frequently were exhausted by the time their events were taking place, "but then people I didn't even know would stop me as I walked through the crowd to thank me for our efforts. Those gestures of kindness were so inspiring and reminded me of our purpose."
"We got to bring people joy, to lift their spirits, to help create the sense of community. And that's the real magic of the arts," she said.
Remember the magic?
There were the inspirational Mystical Arts of Tibet "Sacred Music, Sacred Dance" and mandala presentations, and the world-class exhibits featuring the works of Andy Warholl, Pablo Picasso, Henri Matisse, and the late George Rodrigue, among others, through a partnership with the New Orleans Museum of Art.There was the Super Bowl Exhibit, an experience that prompted countless spinoff projects in which celebrity artists joined public officials and civic leaders in tapping their "inner artists" to create items sold or auctioned to benefit myriad nonprofit entities.
Were you touched as you walked through Christmas Under the Stars, holding your child's or grandchild's hand as their eyes gazed in amazement at the Parade of Trees or the Christmas village and miniature train display?
Were you proud as you sat with thousands of your neighbors in Heritage Park, enjoying the Louisiana Philharmonic Orchestra perform at a Some Enchanted Evening concert, or wandered through Olde Towne, marinating in the talent of more than 100 artists featured at any one of the Arts Evening extravaganzas?
Did you cry when Vince Vance and the Valiants performed at that first post-Katrina Bayou Jam concert at Heritage Park?
Did you stand in line outside Slidell City Hall in Olde Towne just to get a glimpse - and a photo - of the Tiffany-designed Vince Lombardi Trophy and a Super Bowl ring earned from the New Orleans Saints' Super Bowl victory, featured as part of Slidell's "The Art of Tiffany: From the Collection of Mary Ellen Whiddon"?
I know I wasn't alone.
Kim Bergeron now has a Bravo! statue.
We have so much more because of her.
When you see her around town, don't forget to say, "Thanks!"

text: Ian, I have a fairly new Office Lever and I have not had any problems with steaming, however I'll share some of the tips that I've found help : * making sure the water tank has enough water * clean the tip regularly, you might have some milk that has hardened inside the tip. Before frothing I ritually do the following: purge steam out of the want first, froth milk, purge steam again, wipe steam clean with a towel with water. I followed that same ritual previously on an super-automatic for 5 years and never had any steaming problems, unless I failed to clean the steam tip. It's tedious, but I think it will save you grief in the long run. Additionally, if you have the newer Office Lever models I was told by the staff that the single hole tip would provide plenty of power and was ideal for the machine, (my experience so far with the steam after nearly 2 months has been very good) If you already do all these, maybe you might have a different issue to which the staff might provide some additional light. I hope this helps

MONTGOMERY -- State Treasurer Kay Ivey urged parents today not to pull their money out of Alabama's prepaid college tuition plan before its board meets March 24 to consider options for coping with plunging assets and rising costs.
Ivey said her office has received lots of calls since she sent the nearly 49,000 participants a letter last weekend about the financial problems, but there hasn't been a rush to withdraw.
At a news conference, she urged parents considering pulling out to wait until after the board meeting and to talk to a tax adviser before acting. She said withdrawing money could result in tax consequences because of the tax breaks associated with the program.
The Legislature created the Wallace-Folsom Prepaid Affordable College Tuition Plan in 1989. Parents pay a fixed amount when a child is young in anticipation of getting the tuition and mandatory fees paid at an in-state public university when the child finishes high school. To get the money, the program invests most of it in the stock market.
Ivey said that strategy worked well until the stock market plunged, tuition rose faster than anticipated, and college enrollment by participants peaked.
The program's assets have dropped from $899 million in September 2007 to $463 million at the end of January -- a 48 percent decline. Its assets equal about half of its anticipated liabilities, said Mike Mancuso, attorney for the state treasurer's office.

JACKSON, MI -- A funding proposal between the city of Jackson and townships within the county appears unlikely to succeed after two township supervisors questioned the benefits of the county's economic development agency.
When the city of Jackson cut its $100,000 funding contribution for The Enterprise Group, a proposal was made to the townships.
If townships started contributing $1 for every person residing in that township on an annual basis, the city would agree to do the same.
"If every township agrees to contribute on a per-capita basis, the city will contribute," Jackson City Mayor Martin Griffin said.
But, every township would have to contribute as part of the deal.
"Everyone would have to buy-in," Griffin said.
Blackman Township won't be signing up.
"I'm not in agreement with that. The proposal sounds good and fair, but I don't think there has been an adequate study done," Blackman Township Supervisor Dan Hawkins said.
He said it was a "premature" move on the city's part to cut funding before any funding studies were conducted. Hawkins said public-sector funding might not be the way to go.
"I think it's time for us to take a good hard look at getting away from the public-sector funding. In no way does that indicate on my part that I don't think it's worthwhile, but I think we're at a juncture where we need to talk long-term private-sector involvement."
Repeated attempts to reach Enterprise Group Chairman Hendrik Schuur were unsuccessful.
Leoni Township Supervisor Todd Brittain said the proposal is not fair to those townships that see no economic development from The Enterprise Group.
"The way I look at it, I don't think it would be fair to pay $1 per resident if they brought zero jobs to this Township," Brittain said.
He has no problem funding the group if it were based on performance.
"It should be based on performance, on the number of jobs you create. If they don't bring any new jobs or create any then I don't think they should get a dime. If they do bring jobs, not already slated to come here, then I could see paying them a certain amount," Brittain said.
He said that amount could be based on the amount of revenue that comes to the township through specific development. The township would give them a percentage of the incoming revenue.
"It would give them an incentive to bring jobs to this area."
Brittain said, so far, The Enterprise Group has not brought any economic development to the township recently.
"I can't personally see where they have created jobs in the township in the past three years," he said.
He said most developments happen in the city and that he is "disappointed" with The Enterprise Group for overlooking Leoni Township.
"I just feel disappointed that they haven't tried harder in Leoni Township," Brittain said.
Jackson County on the other hand will most likely continue to fund The Enterprise Group.
Jackson County Board of Commissioners Chairman Steve Shotwell said the $100,000 contribution from the county will be voted on by the board of commissioners for the 2013 budget as it has in the past.
When asked if he thought there was a chance that it would not pass, Shotwell said no.
"Because of the amount of services, they embraced the county's strategic plan and placed to the forefront economic development," Shotwell said.
He said the city has "issues" when it comes to funding the group.
"I think the city has some real issues they have to come to grips with," he said.
"The county is moving forward, we can't look backwards."

I think part of the problem with the medical community is that every few years some new fad diet comes around and it never works out. As far as many of them are concerned, Primal and Paleo are just one more Grapefruit Diet that will eventually prove to be absolutely ridiculous and unhealthy. Why should they think this is any different.
We all see the scientific information just snowballing and picking up speed, and the overwhelming amount of individual success stories, but I think it's going to take some time before they eventually think, "Hey, maybe there really IS something to this."
In he mean time, I just nod and smile when my doc's office says I should eat more low fat foods. I've already explained what I eat and why, so the results will have to speak for themselves - mine and her other patients.

Citigroup stopped lending to the mall expansion in May, after demanding that developer Robert Congel put $15 million more of his own money into the project to cover cost overruns. Congel sued and a judge recently ruled in his favor. Citigroup is appealing and the money flow is halted until the appeal is heard next month.
The Journal story "Borrowers to banks: Show me the money'' (available by subscription only) discusses similar efforts by other developers to force banks to honor their lending agreements made before the financial crisis and the economic recession.
Developers are quoted criticizing the banks -- including Citigroup -- for tightening their lending standards despite accepting federal bailout money.

Last month, the Portland City Council unanimously extended a program to help buy transit passes for 13,000 Portland Public Schools high school students.
Of course, there's a chance some high schoolers -- actually, maybe hundreds -- haven't heard the news and might find themselves without a ride for the rest of the year.
On Tuesday, Grant High School volunteer coordinator Carol Leckie sent an e-mail to parents to remind them that the deadline for their kids to pick up TriMet stickers for their student ID cards is nigh.
"There are over 300 students who have not gotten there (sic) update sticker," Leckie wrote.
Thursday at lunch is apparently the "absolute" deadline for picking up the stickers, which give students a free ride on TriMet until the end of the school year in June. "Tri-Met is picking up any unused stickers and they will NOT be available again," Lecki said.
However, Matt Shelby, Portland Public Schools spokesman, said the district isn't too concerned that students will be left on the side of the road.
"I'm hearing that everyone who needs them is getting them," he said, pointing out that a "fairly affluent school like Grant" likely has more students who drive or get rides.
Still, he said, reminding parents to ask their students if they have picked up their transit stickers wouldn't be a bad idea.
The Multnomah Youth Commission originally promoted a pilot program in the 2008-09 school year and fully implemented it last year. The new agreement calls for Portland Public Schools to pay $800,000 and the city of Portland will coordinate the sale of state business energy tax credits to cover $2.55 million.
Shelby said TriMet will not be reimbursed for unused stickers.

*EDITS INSIDE* "I wanna slay a dragon, rescue a princess or two. Gimme some action!"
Xavier, to his friends, is your quintessential big guy with a heart of gold. Wherever he comes around, a joke and hearty laughter aren't to far behind. If you're tight with Xavier; you've got a strong ally. But don't cross him, because payback is a mug. If he doesn't know you, he's downright anti-social sure, he'll say hi, smile, wave, be polite and such but he'll keep it moving. Xavier keeps a very tight circle, despite his popularity, but it doesn't take much, other than a good personality for him to take a liking to you.. Xavier hates the spotlight, and gets uncomfortable when all eyes are on him.
He tends to often get thrown into programs where he has to be a 'Big Brother' or mentor, thanks to his grades and extracurriculars, as such he's developed a soft spot for the little guy.
Very intelligent, Xavier always places top in his class exams, even though you can find him knocked out in class religiously on Mondays. He's also a very artistic, creative soul. He loves to paint and draw and is an on and off member of the Atari High Art Club, he's even gifted in music he's a band geek, drumline, he plays the bass drum, thanks to him, the Atari Knights marching band actually has a bit of funk in it's scores. Still though, his biggest passion other than art is video games. Old school, new school, handheld, console, PC, you name it, he plays it. He's completed over 1000 different titles, all to 100%, he prides himself on that statistic alone.
When he sets out to do something, Xavier bust down whatever obstacle is in his way he's like a speeding bullet, he doesn't care what he goes through, so long as he gets his target. A big picture guy, and a man of action, he doesn't particularly stress on details, its been a fatal flaw of his since he was a child. If he has to blow up an entire building to take out one baddie, he'll do it, so long as that bad guy is taken care off.
His biggest weakness is perhaps doing to much to protect those he loves. He's not Superman, he knows that, but he'll damn sure try to be. Like everyone else, he runs out of gas. But when Xavier's engine does stall he never gives himself time to completely refuel, as a result when he burns out, Xavier really burns out. His family and friends are his heart, harm them, and you've just made an enemy for life.
He keeps a few things on him at all times, and these items are...
- His white G1 cellphone, complete with the Final Fantasy 'Victory' theme for a ringtone
- A tiny notepad kept in his back pocket, he uses this to scribble down ideas for new pieces
- His apartment & car keys (His car is black hooptie, nothing special)
- His white wallet, complete with about ten dollars on a good day, and a membership to the arcade
- His white, special edition PSP, complete with image of Darth Vader on the back side
In battle (when it all begins) he grabs a pair of obsidian gauntlets, the one on his left hand (he's left handed btw) is equipped with a set of sharp claws that can also be used for added grip.
If Xavier were a class in classic FF he would be marked as a red mage. While his own strength, coupled with the natural boost he gains from being 'awakened' he's able to be a formidable opponent fists alone. But his true strength lies in the attack-magic ability he was graced with.
It's not however, a typical mage's ability. Yes, he can cast typical elemental attack magics, but his technique can do much more.
Imagination[INSPIRATION] ((different from Zekkai's))
Imagination, in the Dimensions is the very make-up of space ((think matter)). Everything with shape or form is made of it. Stray bits of Imagination that have yet to take form also exist, waiting for the time when it can maybe become a tree, home, or even a human. The ability to control Imagination is called Inspiration, everyone has it, but only those with enough of it can truly manipulate the space around them.
Xavier's true power allows him to take objects from other dimensions and manipulate, doing the following;
Abilities, None of which he is currently aware of
+A Midsummer Night's Dream
The screen of Xavier's PSP begins to shine brilliantly, and from it, suddenly appear three 'Fairies' each with their own personalities and essence. This ability acts as a doorway to more techniques for Xavier to perform, and by itself is really nothing but a pretty light show. The three Faeries Xavier controls ((err, will control)) are as follow…
Oberon (Energy)- He's the leader of the three, and the strongest of the group, when Xavier calls upon Oberon his movements become much more quick, fluid and graceful. The attacks he can use consist of energy and lazer-like moves (like finger tip zaps lulz). When using this form he is known to conjure up two 'energy blades' (meh, light sabers), it's a must for swordfights.
Titania (shockwaves/sound waves/tremors)- Wife to Oberon, and a perpetual nag, Titania blesses Xavier with a supersonic voice, and sonic boom claps. (From his phone he generates endless sound waves with speaker mode)
Puck (fire & Ice)- A tricky fellow, Puck too lends his powers to Xavier. When he calls upon Puck, Xavier's fighting style becomes a lot more acrobatic and impish. Puck bestows elemental attacks of fire and ice. His left hand is his fire, while his left hand brings the ice.
((This all doesn't become available until much, much later in the RP, I just want his whole skill set out there for everyone to see so I don't look like I pulled it out my ass later on.))
A) Change the form of his own Gantlets, seeing how they are products of another dimension ((we all get our weapons from Demetri later on))
B) 'rewrite' them into his own image. (within very strict limits). Doing such a feat like B takes a load off Xavier depending on the size of the transformation, if he rewrites a flower, it would be on par with a simple spell, if he rewrites a bus, he'll need to take time to recharge.
Xavier's life is less than extraordinary, his life isn't anything spectacular, he's not an orphan, nor was he cursed with some strange case of amnesia that hides his only vaguer past.
He's just a typical 17 year old kid. His parents divorced when he was about ten, for a while they juggled him and his two younger siblings back and forth until his mother finally won full custody of him when he was thirteen. Normally, life is pretty hard for a single mother, but this was furthest from their case, his mother was a lawyer, and a damn good one at that. So money wasn't an issue. It wasn't until he turned fourteen that they moved to 8-Bit, his mother's law firm had been bought out by one of the companies there, so, they packed up and shoved off. The move didn't effect him much, after a while of being bounced around, you learn how to be pretty flexible.
