Show Us the Local Subsidies
Show Us the Local Subsidies: Cities and Counties Disclosing Economic Development Subsidies
by Leigh McIlvaine and Philip Mattera with Greg LeRoy
May 2013
Two-thirds of the economic development subsidy programs run by the nation's largest cities and counties do not use the web to report which companies are receiving the tax breaks and other forms of financial assistance. Among the third of programs that do practice online transparency, most do so poorly, failing to disclose the dollar value of the subsidies. An even smaller number reveal key outcomes such as how many jobs were created. On the other hand, a few localities such as Memphis/Shelby County, Tennessee; New York City; Austin, Texas; and Chicago do a good job at disclosure.
Subsidy Tracker 3.0
The first national compilation of company-specific information on economic development subsidy awards from around the country.

KALAMAZOO, MI -- Western Michigan University football coach P.J. Fleck and his staff have captured the attention of the college football nation yet again.
The 32-year-old Fleck and his staff took part in a seminar Tuesday that involved breaking boards karate-style, walking across broken glass and across a bed of hot coals without shoes or socks on.
According to Fleck, he has raised millions of dollars for renovations in the Seelye Center, at Waldo Stadium and inside the Bill Brown Center. The new staff has also established a 2014 recruiting class that ranks in the top 25 in the country.
Fleck and staff have not been shy about trying to capture the attention of recruits, fans and everyone who keeps an eye on college football.
Here is the video of the staff breaking boards and walking across unsafe surfaces:

You can tell a DJ has captivated his audience when enough feet are jumping in unison to require stage hands to hold the speakers down!
Zombie NationZombie Nation started the set with dark, acid house and gradually spiraled in to uplifting pop backed by the same kickin' basslines I remember from a rave on dirt floors last time Dirty Bird was in town. Thank you RedfishEnt Abq For another amazing event. To those of you who missed this because of a little warm rain, remember music trumps all!

(Mr. DeFAZIO asked and was given permission to address the House for 1 minute.)
Rep. Peter A. DeFazio
Ronald Reagan signed legislation that funded transit out of the highway trust fund. The new Republican majority is going to end transit's eligibility for highway trust fund dollars--but they've created an alternative transportation account that will be paid for out of the general fund. The only problem is that paying for transit at current levels under an alternative scenario would blow another $40 billion hole in the budget.
But they have a plan.
They're going to require Federal employees to pay 6 percent of their salaries into a trust fund. That's about $40 billion over 5 years. But they're not taxing Federal employees to pay for transit--don't worry about that--because that money can't be spent on transit. It will make it look like they're not spending more money. In reality, they will borrow $40 billion to pay for transit instead of paying for it with your fees out of the highway trust fund, but they're going to pretend that they didn't add more money to the deficit. At the same time, they're going to make Federal employees put 6 percent of their salaries into a trust fund for this illusory offset.
Good work, guys.

Barcelona took to Twitter to hint at a possible redesign to the Nou Camp, releasing first some images and then a video.
The Catalan giants insist that the plans are just that for the moment—artist's impressions and ideas, rather than a firm design, but nonetheless, it will excite fans to see how one of the game's iconic stadiums is brought into the 21st century.
Furthermore, the timing of the images is noteworthy.
Bitter rivals Real Madrid announced details and images from an ambitious €400 million (£330 million) overhaul of the Bernabeu just three days ago (more images and details can be found on the Bernabeu here).
The first tweet was a sideways look at the way the tiers of the Nou Camp would look:
This is how the Camp Nou will look with the newly renovated first tier and the extension to the third tier #fcblive pic.twitter.com/GdYcE3z5Zp
— FC Barcelona (@FCBarcelona) February 3, 2014
Thereafter, the Blaugrana teased a fact over the size of the redesign—it would be 64,000 square metres larger as a complex than the current ground:
The total construction at the Camp Nou will increase from 40.000 square metres to 104.000 #fcblive pic.twitter.com/LgnaQ1cuEl
— FC Barcelona (@FCBarcelona) February 3, 2014
Details of how long the building work would take followed:
New Camp Nou building work: from May 2017 to February 2021. Four summers. Three and a half seasons. Construction work carried out in phases
— FC Barcelona (@FCBarcelona) February 3, 2014
Just as fans were getting excited, Barcelona scaled things back with the news that nothing was official yet:
Please remember that the images of the new Camp Nou are impressions, since there is still no definitive project #fcblive
— FC Barcelona (@FCBarcelona) February 3, 2014
Having generated plenty of buzz, they may find that following through and building a superb renovated stadium will be expected from the fans.

Characters Present
No characters tagged in this post!
His room was silent and dark. His curtains covered his windows blocking all attempts of sunlight from entering into his room. Music played softly in the background, and a figure lay in a very comfortable bed. The room was decorated beyond belief, and the wall's neon colors went perfectly well with the black décor that littered the room. The figure rolled over in the bed, tossing the black comforter to the side as he reached for a small electronic device. He grasped a small remote in his hand and pressed the power button. Instantly the background music stopped. A male figure arose from the bed, and stretched, rubbing his eyes and taking in the view around him. He had been here for an entire year, working on two years, and he felt that his problem was being solved. He missed his dad, but he never let his emotions show regarding the issue.
Silently he made his way to his dresser and pulled out a pair of underwear. He grabbed a tank top, a pair of sweat pants, and a pair of socks. He pulled out his Nike shoes and grabbed the rest of his necessities. Heading towards the bathroom, Jared checked to make sure everything was in order in his room. His room was one of the most organized, dust free rooms in the entire rehab center. Aside from his cousin's room which was extremely neat and organized, Jared's room was about the same. After checking everything, he made his way to the boy's bathroom and did what he had to do. The shower was exuberating and the steam just removed his aches and pains. Sure the sight of naked guys turned him on a bit, but the therapy he had been receiving was helping. His urges were still there, but he was able to control them, at least for a short amount of time. He left the bathroom with sex on his mind, and though he was sure he wouldn't commit any sexual acts in the rehab center, he made sure that he cooled off before making his way to the cafeteria.
Once those things that were stimulated had calmed down, he put in his hoop earrings and made his way towards the café. He grabbed a tray and stepped in front of his cousin Jeremiah who had made it there before him. Jeremiah rolled his eyes and smiled, letting his cousin cut in line while picking food that had little to no blemishes. Jared finished choosing his food and made his way to a table that one guy occupied. He decided not to speak to the guy, because he looked as if he was lost in thought and Jared didn't want to disturb. He had seen this guy around, one of the officials had called him Guy, Guy Meyers Jared recalled..
"Jared, how are you managing?" Jeremiah asked after sitting down next to Jared.
"So far so good cuzzo," Jared replied as he took a bite of food.
Jeremiah sighed and picked at his food. He normally didn't eat things he himself didn't prepare, but he knew Jared would probably curse him if he didn't at least try the food. Jared looked up and around the café, noticing a few of his "friends" if he could call them that.
A nearly identical room, layout exactly the same as Jared's, was silent. The only difference between the rooms was that Jeremiah's room walls were silver, while Jared's room walls were black with a splash of neon color here and there like a brick wall design. No music or alarm clock in sight as a figure moved around in a floating bed. There was absolutely nothing out of place, and no dust to be seen amongst the marble floors and various artifacts. Jeremiah rolled over at least three times before removing the comforter from his body. He was dressed as he always dressed before bed. Nothing on but a pair of pajama pants, not even a pair of underwear to be seen on his body. As he went about his daily routine of finding what he would wear, he looked at the clock on his wall and noticed that he was up early yet again. He picked up a pair of black skinny jeans, a button up pink plaid shirt, and a pair of knee high boots to wear. He grabbed his set of hoop earrings for the day and put them in.
"Wonder if Jared's awake," Jeremiah stated as he made his way towards the boy's bathroom.
After he had finished what he had to do, he made his way back to his room and tossed his dirty clothes into a hamper that set neatly against his closet. He wrapped a metal bracelet around his right wrist and checked to make sure everything was in place. As he liked, his clothing was a little form fitting, but it showed the right parts of his body. He smiled and walked out of the room before making his way to the café. Once there, he stood in line with his tray, though it wasn't long before Jared appeared and jumped in front of him. Jeremiah laughed a little but made it through the line with enough to eat.
He and his cousin talked for a little before his eyes took in his surroundings. Yes, he had made a few friends since he had been at the rehab center. He had made great progress with his addiction and disorder. Only time would tell if the therapy had worked, but as far as he'd seen, it was helping a lot. His thoughts weren't as clouded with perfection and sex as it was when he first arrived. He hadn't had a violent outburst in over a year, and he hadn't drunk any alcohol for three years.
"Hey man, what's up?" Jeremiah asked Guy attempting to make conversation. "Haven't I seen you around? You haven't been here long have you?"
Jared looked up when he heard Jeremiah talking and wondered if he was actually trying to make conversation with a guy he really didn't know, then again Jeremiah was a little bit more outspoken than Jared was.

That's about the best way to sum up Bruce Springsteen and the E Street Band's show at the Rock in Roma Festival at Ippodromo delle Capannelle in Rome, Italy on Thursday.
How's this for some highlights: The first performance of "New York City Serenade" this tour, which capped off a four-pack from "The Wild, the Innocent and the E Street Shuffe," album of "Kitty's Back," and "Incident on 57 Street" played into "Rosalita."
"New York City Serenade" was last played at the Nov. 7, 2009 Madison Square Garden show when Bruce played the entire Wild and Innocent album. It was played with a string session (just like at MSG) in Rome.
Here it is, the full video of "New York City Serenade" from Rome. Take 12 minutes out of your busy schedule and watch this. It's a very special Bruce Springsteen and the E Street Band performance:
Maureen Van Zandt, Steve's wife, sent out this tweet about it:
Gorgeous NYC Serenade with string section from Ensemble Roma Sinfonietta. Bravi!— Maureen Van Zandt (@MVZaGoGo) July 11, 2013
It was the first time "New York City Serenade" was played in Europe and only the eighth time it has been played since 1975.
"Kitty's Back" was played for only the fifth time this tour and the first time in 2013. "Incident" hadn't been played since the March 31, 2013 show at Hanging Rock in Macedon, Australia.
You knew it was going to be a different night when the show began with "Spirit in the Night," only the fifth time that song has ever opened a show. The last time was on April 4, 2008 at the then Arco Arena in Sacramento, Calif.
More highlights from the 29-song, three-hour-and-25-minute show included this four-pack early: "Roulette," "Lucky Town," "Summertime Blues" and "Stand On It." It was just the second performance of "Stand On it" this tour.
"Wrecking Ball" was not played for only the second time this tour
Before ending the show with an acoustic "Thunder Road" Bruce said to the crowd: "Bellissima notte, Bellissima gente" which translates to "Beautiful night. Beautiful people."
Speculation on the internet that since Bruce played four songs from Wild and Innocent that maybe he's planning a full album show of it in his final eight shows in Europe. It is nice to see the past four shows with varied set lists. Many fans felt the shows were getting stale, not true anymore though!
Show began at 8:50 p.m. local time (six hours ahead of New Jersey)
Here's the opening of the show:
Set list
1. Spirit In The Night
2. My Love Will Not Let You Down
3. Badlands

TRENTON — Gov. Chris Christie says he stands by the timing of a 2006 probe into U.S. Sen. Robert Menendez's relationship with a nonprofit agency, an investigation that began while Christie was serving as the U.S. Attorney for New Jersey.
Christie briefly addressed the issue during a news conference Tuesday, just days after it was disclosed that federal prosecutors had closed the investigation and no charges would be brought.
"Sure" was Christie's only response when asked about the matter by a reporter.
Menendez, however, said Tuesday that he felt vindicated by the finding.
The Democrat had accused Christie — a Bush-appointed Republican — of playing politics by publicizing the probe during the 2006 campaign, as Menendez was seeking his first full term in the senate. Christie has long denied the allegation.
"As I said almost five years ago, during the height of my first campaign for United States Senate, there was no merit to this investigation and there never was," Menendez said in a prepared statement. "This official letter — though long delayed — finally confirms this fact."
The investigation had focused on Menendez's relationship with the North Hudson Community Action Corp., an anti-poverty group that he helped secure millions of dollar in federal funding.
The agency rented office space in Union City from Menendez, who collected more than $300,000 in rent from the agency between 1994 and 2003 while serving in the House of Representatives. He was later appointed to the U.S. Senate seat that Jon Corzine vacated when he was elected New Jersey's governor in 2005.
Menendez said at the time that the rental agreement had been preapproved by the House ethics committee, and he maintained it was appropriate. But during the 2006 senate campaign, when he was challenged by GOP state Sen. Tom Kean Jr., Republicans used the issue to question Menendez's integrity.
Menendez went on to easily win the 2006 election and will likely seek re-election in 2012.
The decision to close the investigation was made by Zane David Memeger, the U.S. Attorney for the Eastern District of Pennsylvania. His office had taken over the probe in 2009 when Paul Fishman was appointed U.S. Attorney for New Jersey.
Fishman had recused himself to avoid a potential conflict of interest, because Menendez had supported him for the federal post.
"After review and consideration of the matter transferred to me, I have decided to close the file," Memeger wrote in an Oct. 5 letter sent to Menendez's lawyer Marc Elias, who had called Memeger to seek an update on the investigation.

The two children (Romeo and Juliet) of these two families become lovers and commit suicide.
What is the cause of the fight predicted by Gregory and Sampson? Where does the real quarrel lie?

What are "purple fountains?" What fires do they put out?
These are fountains of each others' blood, and these fountains put out satisfied anger.
Why does the fighting between Capulets and Montagues disturb Prince Escalus? What punishment will they face if they do not stop fighting?
Because every time the feud started over some casual words, peace is disturbed in Verona streets and citizens have to always take off their dress clothes and find some rusty old spears to part them. Punishment is death if fighting continues.
What happened when Benvolio saw Romeo?
He tells Lord Montegue that he needs to speak to Romeo in private in case he'll either tell Benvolio what's wrong.
According to his father, how does Romeo spend his nights and days?
At night Romeo hides himself in the woods, and at day to escape the light he locks himself up in his bedroom and shuts his windows.
What is the cause of Romeo's despair?
The woman he loves takes a vow of chastity, and this is making him love sick.
What makes Benvolio sad? How does this affect Romeo?

What advice does Benvolio give to Romeo, who loves someone who does not love him?
To not think about Rosaline and wander eyes to other beautiful girls.
How old is Juliet? What age does her father think appropriate for her marriage?
She is soon to be 14. Her father thinks that Juliet should be 14 for marriage.
What advice does Capulet give Paris? Who gave similar advice to Romeo?
To come to his party and look at other beautiful women and see if he still loves Juliet. Benvolio gave the similar advice.
Whom does Romeo love? What advice does Benvolio give to Romeo?

What does Juliet say is important about her choice of a husband?
That Juliet will only like what she sees is likable of Paris.
What is Mercutio's attitude about Romeo's heavy heart?
His attitude about it was like he was trying to cheer him up by persisting him to dance and to have sex to cure his love.
What does Queen Mab do by night?
She rides in a hazelnut chariot every night and rides into/over people and makes them dream of whatever she desires.
How does Capulet try to get the ladies to dance?
By introducing the men to the ladies, saying that whichever lady doesn't have corn on her toes will dance.
How does Capulet feel about Romeo's presence at the feast?
He feels that Romeo carries himself as a dignified gentleman, for he has a good reputation throughout Verona as a virtuous and well-behaved young man and should be left alone.
What does Tybalt plan?
To teach Romeo a lesson because he feels that he and Lord Capulet is being disrespected.
What does Romeo think when he learns Juliet's identity?
He thinks that his life is in the hands of his enemy, and that he is in more trouble than ever.
How does Juliet learn Romeo's identity without letting the Nurse know of her interest?
Juliet tells Nurse to go ask of Romeo's identity and come back to tell Juliet. Juliet then tells herself that love is a monster for making her fall in love with her own enemy, but then Nurse hears some of this and to cover up what Juliet meant, she says it was only a rhyme she learned from somebody she danced with.
What will give the lovers the power to meet? What will give them the means?

(The Root) — Before there was Tracy Morgan, Dave Chappelle or Eddie Murphy, there was Richard Pryor, one of the greatest comedians to ever live. Now a new documentary about Pryor explores just how much he influenced those who came after him and how much of a toll his groundbreaking comedy took on his life.
"When Richard left us, I think he was a shell of a man, because he gave us everything he had. He never held back," Morgan told an audience during a panel discussion following a screening of Richard Pryor: Omit the Logic at the Tribeca Film Festival last week.
The documentary, which will air on Showtime in May, is a no-holds-barred look at Pryor's life and starts with the infamous incident in which he set himself on fire and ran down the street after supposedly freebasing cocaine. (He later admitted in an interview that it was a suicide attempt.) In typical Pryor fashion, he later joked about it by waving a lit match and saying, "What's that? Richard Pryor running down the street."
Jennifer Lee Pryor, Richard's widow, who married the comedian twice (he was married seven times to five different women), was a producer on the documentary and shared some of her late husband's personal-diary entries in the film. "I wanted to reveal warts and all, but I wanted to reveal more of the man as a whole picture," she told The Root.
Director Marina Zenovich said she made the film because she wanted people to know his place in entertainment history. "His legacy lives when you are exposed to him," Zenovich told The Root after the screening.
The documentary highlights key moments in Pryor's life: his early years growing up in his grandmother's brothel in Illinois, his stand-up routines, his rampant drug use and self-immolation suicide attempt, his multiple sclerosis diagnosis and his death at age 65 of a heart attack.
In his 40-plus-year career, Pryor released more than 20 comedy records, appeared in more than 40 films and was featured in a brief but groundbreaking TV show. He won five Grammys and one Emmy and hosted the Academy Awards twice, but he never received an Oscar nomination, which many consider a snub.
Pryor's breakthrough film role came in 1972 as the funny but tragic Piano Man in Lady Sings the Blues, a part that was expanded just for him. A series of movies followed, including Uptown Saturday Night, Silver Streak, Which Way Is Up? Car Wash and The Bingo Long Traveling All-Stars & Motor Kings, to name just a few. In 1983 Pryor took home an unprecedented $4 million for his role in Superman III.
He also became the first African American to helm his own studio-backed production company in a five-year deal with Columbia Pictures for $40 million. Then came Pryor's turn as the producer, writer, director and star of his autobiographical movie, Jo Jo Dancer, Your Life Is Calling.
His concert movies drew critical acclaim and made big bucks. In 1979 Richard Pryor: Live in Concert was the first instance in which a live comedy performance was recorded and released as a feature film. His comedy albums from the 1970s — including Craps, That Nigger's Crazy, Is It Something I Said? and Bicentennial Nigger — would have been enough to make him a legend.

Delivery men unload kegs of beer from a Guinness-branded truck outside a bar in Dublin, Ireland. Aidan Crawley/Bloomberg
The UpTake: Guinness parent Diageo is finding itself in a branding dilemma with its "Arthur's Day"celebration for the beer brand's founder. Is it worth throwing a big party when health officials and even some musicians think it's bad for Ireland's image?
Before you visit Dublin, your friends who have been will exhort you to visit the Guinness Storehouse: you'll follow a cobblestone street to the brand's St. James's Gate brewery, buy a ticket to the museum, and climb a seven-floor glass atrium shaped like a pint glass. Inside, you'll get a full sensory experience of how the biggest stout export brewery in the world produces 3 million pints a day.
At the very top—and no sane person would go to this museum without making it to floor 7—is the Gravity Bar, where you'll turn in your ticket for a free pint of Guinness while enjoying panoramic views of the city with sights like (book nerd alert) the house that was the setting for James Joyce's The Dead, affectionately referred to as The House of the Dead.
As you down your beer from the highest bar in Dublin (46 meters up), you'll realize that you've just experienced not only a fantastic pint but an experience that demonstrates the marketing genius behind the producers of Guinness.
That same genius is going on today with Arthur's Day, an annual paean to Guinness founder Arthur Guinness which has—since it started in 2009—become sort of a second St. Patrick's Day, complete with music and revelry, but also drunks in the streets and packed hospital emergency rooms.
And the latter is raising the question: is Arthur's Day a marketing scheme gone amok and should Ireland—where a rising number of alcohol-related deaths among the country's younger population are being reported—really be celebrating another drinking-focused holiday?
"With high rates of alcohol consumption and binge drinking, we don't need another reason to drink," professor Frank Murray, chairman of the alcohol policy group of Ireland's Royal College of Physicians, tells Reuters.
After getting an MA in journalism from Syracuse University, Teresa worked as a general assignment newspaper reporter—general on purpose because besides the usual city hall and police articles, there was the chance to fly an F-18 with the Blue Angels and tag along with bounty hunters on a stakeout—all good preparation for covering entrepreneurs.

CHASSELL - Hancock junior center Alex Almquist had his imprint all over Thursday night's 54-48 win over Chassell in boys' basketball play at Ed Helakoski Memorial Gym.
After all, the 6-foot-7 Almquist tallied game-high totals of 32 points and 14 rebounds in the Crimson and Gold's first win this season.
But unsung Adrian Saterstad may have made the biggest play of the night with 1:48 left when he banked in a 5-footer, was fouled and made the free throw for a 50-48 lead the winners would not relinquish.
"That play (by Saterstad) was huge," HCHS coach Curtis Wittenberg said afterward. "He's been down on himself a little bit but we told him to keep plugging away and he made an important play."
Chassell's Brant Ryynanen had just given the Panthers a 48-47 margin with his second triple of the quarter.
CHS coach Steve Spahn said his team played hard.
Fact Box
Hancock 10 12 11 19 - 54
Chassell 12 9 13 15 - 48
Hancock - Matt Yao 6, Shane Raasio 9, Alex Almquist 32, Brian Kass 2, Adrian Saterstad 5. FT: 12-21; Rebounds: 33 (Almquist 14); Fouls: 11; Fouled out: None; 3-point FG: Almquist 3, Yao 2, Raasio 1.
Chassell - Jake Tuomi 9, Steve Tuominen 2, Josh Pietila 14, Evan Huhta 6, Carson Ryynanen 6, Brant Ryynanen 11, Jordy LaTendresse 2. FT: 0-7; Rebounds: 29 (Huhta 10); Fouls: 16; Fouled out: Pietila; 3-point FG: B. Ryynanen 3, Pietila 2, Tuomi 1.
"I thought we did some good things and played pretty solid defense on Almquist," Spahn noted. "But he's such a complete player ... it's hard to keep him from scoring. He can hurt you from inside, of course, but he can also step out and hit the outside shot.
"It's a real challenge to guard him because of that."
The smaller Panthers made 1-5 Hancock earn the elusive first win - a fact not lost on Wittenberg.
"Nothing has come easy for us this season," the Hancock mentor said. "We didn't have one of our starters (Riley Engman) tonight, and Shane Raasio got into foul trouble right away. But we hung in there."
Hancock built a slim lead of 24-21 after two quarters behind 18 points by Almquist.
But the Blue and Gold stayed close behind the outside shooting of Josh Pietila and actually led a portion of the third quarter.
Evan Huhta - Chassell's 6-5 senior center - nailed a rebound shot to cut the deficit to 35-34 by the end of the third quarter.
The two teams traded the lead in the final period as Brant Ryynanen provided the firepower for CHS with eight points. But Almquist hooped 11 in the stanza and his four free throws down the stretch put the cap on the win.
"He (Almquist) did what he had to do," Wittenberg said. "Every night everyone is focused on him, we know that. But it's a case of getting him the ball in the clutch."
Raasio managed nine points to back Almquist, who also blocked five shots. Matt Yao put in six points and made four steals.
Pietila led the 3-2 Panthers with 14 markers, while Brant Ryynanen put in 11 more. Jake Tuomi netted nine points, Huhta managed six points and a team-best 10 boards, and Carson Ryyyanen pitched in six points and seven rebounds.
"We were zero for 7 on free throws and that hurt," Spahn said. "But I was not disappointed with our overall play tonight. We'll keep working."

To what extent does your trusty kitchen coffee pot add to that utility bill? Or the refrigerator in the garage? Or the clunky family computer? Whether people are aware of it or not, every appliance has a monthly price tag attached to it. However, through a partnership between Xcel Energy and the Minot Public Library, energy customers can now determine where those extra dollars and cents are coming from.
Available to borrow at the main desk of the library, the device is a "Watts up? Pro" model electric meter, which plugs into a standard 120-volt outlet and includes a USB interface. Various electrical appliances can then be plugged into the meter, which measures their output in kilowatts-per-hour for any amount of time desired. Among its features, the meter's Payback Calculator can translate that usage into a monetary figure based on the customer's billing rate, and from there estimate the amount of time it would take for a more energy-efficient device to pay for itself in reduced energy costs.
There are six meters available at the Minot Public Library, donated by Xcel Energy as part of a five-state usage awareness campaign it launched in November 2009, involving 61 local libraries. Since the program began, devices have been checked out around 31,000 times. In North Dakota, the other participating bibliotech is the Fargo Public Library. In expanding the program to three more states and 29 more facilities, Xcel wishes to remind the public that the devices are available.

One of six available to borrow from the Minot Public Library, a "Watts up? Pro" electric meter is gauging the power usage and monthly cost of a programmable scanner at The Minot Daily News offices. Along with one of six infrared handheld thermometers beside it, the device was provided by Xcel Energy as part of an eight-state consumer-consciousness program, with 90 local libraries participating. Each device comes with a protective case, accessories and instructions for use.
"It's an easy tool, and a great tool, for families to calculate their energy usage," said Kathy Aas, community relations manager with the company. "Libraries were chosen because everyone knows they are available," she went on to explain. In addition to the Watts up? meters, in March 2010 Xcel had also provided half a dozen handheld infrared thermometers, with which to test the efficiency of household insulation.
"Anyone who has checked them out has given us good feedback," said Janet Anderson, adult services librarian at Minot Public Library. However, "people haven't checked them out as often as they used to," she admitted.
Energy companies around the country are trying to keep apace of growing demand, and raising consumption consciousness is one of the ways utilities such as Xcel try to reduce overburdening the grid. However, the federal Energy Information Administration finds that the problem lies not entirely in personal consumption. In 1980, it found that of 81.6 million households, each were using an average of 114 million British thermal units for the year; by 2009, 113.6 million homes were on average using 89.6 million Btu apiece. So while according to those estimates the average household is using 21.4 percent less energy, in the aggregate American home energy use is up by 9.4 percent due to an increase in homes and living units, translating into an extra 876.2 trillion Btu needed each year.
In the commercial and residential sectors, North Dakota energy customers enjoy the lowest rates in the nation. Due to a variety of factors, it is also the fourth-greatest user of energy per capita at 713 million Btu per person, per year. And a North Dakota Industrial Commission forecast, compiled last October by the consultancy Kadrmas, Lee & Jackson, expects its energy usage to jump dramatically in the near future. The study looked in particular at nine western North Dakota counties and three in Montana, which will see ever-increasing activity in the Williston Basin as a result of oil extraction there.
The forecast estimates an increase in power usage of 89 percent in the region between the years 2012 and 2017, with combined commercial and industrial needs expected to jump 208 percent. "The main reason behind this large increase over the five year period is significant hikes in large (commercial and industrial) electrical demand," it explains.
While Xcel's service coverage area does not quite extend to the western reaches of the state, for North Dakota the report identifies Ward and McKenzie counties as the ones anticipated to have the highest population-based needs during the course of oilfield development, which it expects to peak by 2032. The full report can be found at (www.nd.gov/ndic/ic-press/Power2012.pdf).

How could this most meek of creatures be caught up in a war of big cats?
Shy timid, skittish, and paranoid. He has a slight stuttering problem. However under all that weariness Kidogo has a brave streak which comes out only when a loved one is in danger. When feeling safe, Kido can also have something of a sarcastic sense of humor...I suppose you need one when you're at the bottom of the food chain.
fast little legs
his ho-horns sorry can't even say that with a straight face lol
fur that camouflages well
A call that alerts all prey in the area of potential danger.
A resistance to extreme heat and arid conditions
The ability to obtain all the moisture he needs from his food
...and an uneasy acquaintance with Nguvu?
Kidogo was just your typical run of the mill dik dik, he found a territory found a mate (they mate for life) settled down and had baby wanting to waste no time. Kidogo appreciates the preciousness of life having had many brushes with death on a nearly daily basis. There is one near death experience however that proved life changing. His mate and calf were grazing peacefully on a shrub when pack of wild dogs happened to wonder by. Three of them saw the potential for an easy meal and began to give chase. Kidogo did what any good father would do. He got in their way and pretended to have a limp. They switched targets, and he lead them away from his family, it was the wild dogs who were pulling the fast one on him however running him right into the rest of their lounging pack. All hope seemed lost for kidogo that is until a lion leaped out of the grass and sent the pack...well packing. Kido was sure he wanted him for snack, and with wide open stretches on both sides of him, and grass to long for him to see over in front of him, he might as well have been served to the king of beasts on a silver platter. What happened next nearly killed Kidogo, but only because could have had a heart attack from the shock! The lion had spared him. If Nguvu has any alterior motive to be nice to him Kido can't tell, all the same he prefers to avoid someone who can kill him with the swipe of his paw, but when he does encounter the lion on occasion...What good would being rude do?

Convenience doesn't come cheap.
ATM fees at some downtown Harrisburg locations could result in unwitting or hurried patrons paying more than 50 percent of the value of their transactions in what amounts to a convenience charge for quick cash.
For example, the minimum withdrawal at Belco Community Credit Union's ATM at Second and South streets is $10. If you're not a Belco member, the machine charges a $2.75 fee. If your bank also adds a fee — and they run as high as $2.50 at some area banks — you could be paying more than $5 to withdraw a quick 10 bucks.
That combination of fees at the ATM, additional fees from your bank and how much you withdraw leads financial experts to urge people to think more strategically about how they access their cash.
"The great thing about ATMs is they are convenient," said Mary Rosenkrans in the Office of Financial Education at the state Department of Banking. But ATMs provide a service, "and with every service, there are costs involved," she said.
And those costs are going up.
ATM fees jumped 12.6 percent last year, according to a study by Bankrate.com. The fees have been going up about 7 percent each year for a decade and generate more than $2 billion every year for the banking industry, the study found.
The less you withdraw, the higher percentage you pay to the banks for the convenience. Thus, Bankrate.com suggests people withdraw only large amounts when they have to use an ATM that will charge a fee.
Even then, you should be alert.
The ATM in the One Stop convenience store at Third and Forster streets charges a $2 fee — the standard for convenience stores, newsstands and bars in downtown Harrisburg. However, nearly all the withdrawal options are for the same amount: $20. Making the obvious, fastest selection results in an automatic 10-percent convenience charge.
Savvy patrons get around that by selecting "other" as a withdrawal option and manually typing in a higher amount.
The machine will dispense up to $200 — reducing the fee to 1 percent.
Rosenkrans said that's particularly true for 18- to 25-year-olds.
The credit card industry has dubbed that group Generation Plastic because three-quarters of them never leave home without a credit or ATM card, and one-third never carry cash.
"I have three young adult sons, and I don't think they know how to write a check," Rosenkrans said.
But they do know how to budget.
"It may be a foreign language, but that's really what we're talking about," Rosenkrans said. "One of the problems with Generation Plastic is they just don't have the skills or haven't gotten the information from their parents or schools about what it is to figure out a spending plan."
Mary Beth Pinto, a professor at Penn State University's School of Business at Behrend College in Erie, said younger people often don't want to take out a large amount of cash because they have limited money, so they withdraw only what they need.
"Do the math," she said. "What's the percentage of the fee to what you're taking out?"
Although many younger people are "completely oblivious" to the costs of convenience, Pinto said, others are knowledgeable and know the tricks to avoiding fees.
Only using your bank's ATM and planning to carry the cash you need generally avoids fees.
Buying something, even a pack of gum, with your ATM card at a store that allows you to get cash back avoids fees.
Also, know your bank's policy in case you have to use another bank's ATM. Many banks charge an additional fee in that case, and you end up paying twice for the withdrawal.
These extra fees vary considerably, and sometimes strings are attached.
According to its website, Wachovia Bank charges $2.50 when a patron uses another bank's ATM.
Metro Bank waives the fee on the first 10 transactions each month but charges $2 each after that.
Susquehanna Bank's ATM Freedom program waives the fee and refunds the other bank's ATM surcharge up to $3, but only for the first four transactions a month and only if you maintain a minimum of $2,500 in your account.
Belco Community Credit Union does not charge any out-of-network fees.
And if you do have to use another bank's ATM, look for the one that charges the least. Fees vary widely from one ATM machine to another in Harrisburg, ranging from $1.75 to $3.
Traditionally, fees are highest at ATMs in places where there's a lot of traffic and where people are likely to be making impulse purchases.
"It's all based on impulse. That's what they're there for ... and we pay for that," Pinto said.
The landscape of ATM fees in Harrisburg is rugged, and you'll profit by paying attention.
At the Amtrak terminal on Market Street, a likely spot for high convenience fees, the Wachovia ATM charges $2.50, the same as at its ATM in Strawberry Square. However, the Wachovia ATM at Third and Walnut streets charges $3, higher than at its other locations.
So, too, with Sovereign Bank: The ATM outside Sovereign's office on Second Street charges a $2 fee, but a Sovereign ATM in the CVS on Market Street only a few blocks away charges $3.
At Harrisburg International Airport, another good candidate for high fees, the Sovereign Bank ATM charges $2. HIA spokesman Scott Miller said the airport contracted with the bank for the fees to be "street rate."
That variation — and mounting fees for small withdrawals — can be "the school of hard knocks" for inattentive ATM users, Rosenkrans said.
She recommends Bankrate.com and www.moneysbestfriend.com as good resources for more information about bank fees and budgeting.
ATMs put a rising price on fast cash

Amy Locane, the former "Melrose Place" actress who was charged with second-degree vehicular homicide in an alleged drunk driving crash Sunday night, has been living quietly in Hopewell, N.J., west of Princeton with her husband, Mark Bovenizer, a wine educator, and their two young daughters and acting in community theater.
In fact, she had just wrapped a starring role in "Missed Connections," by Princeton playwright Marvin Howard Cheiten at Hopewell's Off-Broadstreet Theatre earlier Sunday.
Locane's last film of note was a minor role in 2002's "Secretary," starring Maggie Gyllenhaal and James Spader, though her career began promisingly enough, with a critically-acclaimed turn in John Waters' "Cry Baby," starring Johnny Depp, and roles in the teen flicks "School Ties" and "Airheads," both with Brendan Fraser. But she's best known for her short-lived role as aspiring actress Sandy Harling in Fox's '90s hit "Melrose Place," though she was pink-slipped after the first season.
Locane, who told police she had drunk several glasses of wine before driving Sunday evening, was also charged with third-degree assault by auto. Prior to the 9 p.m. crash that killed a passenger in another car and seriously injured the car's driver in Montgomery, north of Princeton, Locane was involved in hit-and-run at a Princeton intersection, authorities say. She allegedly rear-ended the car, but when the other driver phoned police, Locane got in her SUV and drove off, knocking down several mailboxes.
Locane gave up on Hollywood several years ago and moved back to New Jersey. She met her future husband, who ran Princeton wine shop Community Liquors, while working at a nearby store, according to People's Celebrity Baby Blog. They welcomed Paige in 2007 and Avery Hope in 2009.
"I've learned it's not about being famous and big money," she told the blog in 2007. "L.A. can be a fun place, but when it comes down to it — and this might sound hokey — there's no place like home. Here, I can go to the local corn stand and get fresh corn and wave to my neighbors and host play dates with my friends at my house. It's simple living but it's really relaxing and fun. And I'm happier than I ever have been."

The Administration's energy plan is in trouble. The Senate has gone Democratic. And Bush's tough foreign-policy stance is drawing fire from U.S. allies. In a June 20 interview with Washington Bureau Chief Lee Walczak and White House Correspondent Richard S. Dunham, Vice-President Dick Cheney was stoic in the face of rising storms. What follows is a more complete version of edited excerpts from their conversation that appeared in the July 2 edition of BusinessWeek:
Q: You have more roles than almost any other Vice-President in memory. It seem almost like you're running a very complex corporate enterprise. What's your system?
A:I'm a little reluctant to use corporate analogies because it doesn't fit perfectly. The system is the President's. He's great at delegating, giving you an assignment, and then turning you loose on it and not trying to micromanage you or second-guess you. He expects you to deliver on time and on budget.
What I bring to the process is the perspective of having been here a number of times. This is my fifth tour in government, the fourth Administration that I've worked for. This is my third time in the White House. I first started here a little over 30 years ago when I was a youngster, now I'm the oldest guy in the West Wing.
I've got great staff. The President has put together a first-rate Cabinet and White House staff. I could not do what I do for the President if it hadn't been for those previous experiences or the relationships that developed over that period of time.
Q: Last year, you were among the first national politicians to talk about the economic slump. Would you care to predict that recovery is at hand?
A:My statements were accurate last November-December that the evidence [of a slump] was starting to accumulate. I think we've come very close to a recession -- I don't know what the second quarter is going to close out at. The tax cut that the President put through deserves the credit for either avoiding a recession this year or minimizing its impact.
Q: Democrats claim your new national energy plan shortchanges conservation.
A:The fact is, there are more recommendations in there dealing with conservation and renewables...than increased supply. Nearly all of the financial incentives focus on renewable sources of energy, as well as on conservation.
Q: You're considered Mr. Free Market when it comes to energy. So how do you explain the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission's ruling to impose loose price controls on California?
A:FERC is an independent agency.... I suppose if there's a silver lining in this, it's that it forecloses the possibility of [more onerous] schemes.
Q: To your friends, you practice plain speaking, Truman-style: "California, you got into this mess, you get out." To your detractors, this is lapsing into the traditional Vice-Presidential role of the hatchet man. How do you see your role?
A:I don't see it in those terms. My job is to do what the President asked me to when I signed on, and that is to be a part of his team to help govern. And that has been the prime focus of my efforts.
I'm doing some political work. I campaigned for [Randy Forbes], who won a very important victory in Virginia this week. Monday night I was up in Michigan for Mike Rogers, a congressman from the 8th district, another very close, very competitive district. I've been to Florida to do a fund-raiser down there for the Florida Republican Party and Jeb Bush.
The pace will pick up as we get into next year, and that's part of my role, to be a spokesman for the Administration and to be out there helping our Republican candidates, and I'm happy to do that.
Q: Conservatives were distressed when President Bush said he looked into the soul of Russian President Putin and saw a kindred spirit.
A:I don't think that's exactly what he said. Somebody he could do business with, yes -- that's a fair and accurate statement.... It doesn't mean that you ignore the old Reagan axiom of "Trust, but verify."
Q: Defense Secretary Rumsfeld is reviewing the Pentagon's budget and major weapons programs. Contractors keep asking if there will be any money left for defense spending. You want to have a high-tech military. Is the money is going to be there?
A:I think it will be. We have to make significant changes in our overall defense posture, and that's the process Don Rumsfeld [is heading] up right now.
There clearly is a need to modernize and update our military strategy, and the force structure that we need to carry it out. Looking forward, it's probably going to be significantly different than what we've inherited.... Defense will probably be the biggest increases of any item in the budget. But we've got to be frugal there, just as everyplace else. We also need to get some savings out of defense.
Q: Why did you meet with Microsoft CEO Steve Ballmer at a time when a decision is near on that company's antitrust suit. Isn't this the sort of thing that got the Clintonites in trouble?
A:[On June 19] when Steve Ballmer came in, he had a range of issues that he wanted to talk about. I had a lawyer present. We made it clear in advance that we didn't want to talk about the antitrust case. I don't think that you can foreclose all relationships or communications between the government and corporations that have business before the government.
Q: Last week the European Union's antitrust commission recommended against the GE-Honeywell merger. Is the Administration contemplating any action that will allow U.S. products and firms to compete on a level playing field with Europe?
A:I have not discussed the GE-Honeywell merger with the President. [But] Europe is clearly a very important trading partner. We've got a lot of firms that do a lot of business in Europe, and you want the rules to be fair and equitable.... I think you've got to look at individual situations if you're going to comment on how a particular industry might or might not be affected.
Q: Does Democratic control of the Senate mean curtains for the President's agenda? Can you operate in this environment?
A:Oh, I think so.... But Democrats have a choice: They can either cooperate with a President, who has made it clear he is willing to work with them on the important issues of the day, as he has on education, or they can be obstructionists. In either case, the voters ultimately will decide in the next election, and if [Democrats] have been obstructionists, they'll pay a price.
Q: Are you spending less time on the Hill now that the Senate is no longer 50-50?
A:It's actually about the same. I try to go up every Tuesday. And the fact that there's been a change now in the control of the Senate hasn't changed that.

Protecting children from developing weight problems | Gustafson
You've probably heard by now of Marshall Reid, the sixth-grader from Sanford, N.C., who managed to change his and his family's poor eating habits.
He wrote a book about the experience, titled "Portion Size Me," which was obviously inspired by the well-known documentary film, "Super Size Me," by Morgan Spurlock about the negative health effects of fast food.
Like many overweight children, Marshall was bullied and made fun of by his peers. After being called "fat" one too many times, he decided to take action and asked his mother to help him lose weight and eat more healthily. He also took up exercising with his father.
Eventually, the family made a video about their lifestyle changes and put it up on YouTube. The book that followed is filled with healthy recipes, easy to understand nutrition facts and a journal describing Marshall's journey to a new life.
"We realized that the amount of weight you drop isn't the endgame. It's about how good you feel about yourself, about making healthier choices," said Alexandra Reid, Marshall's mother in an interview with the New York Times.
Marshall is by no means alone in his struggle with weight problems at a young age. According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), almost 20 percent of American kids ages 6 to 11 are now obese. Childhood obesity is one of the greatest health threats we're facing today, not just here but around the world.
What makes this story so remarkable, however, is that one child's determination to take control of his life and turn his situation around can make this much difference.
Understanding your child's nutritional needs
Parents are often confused not only about the kind of foods but also how much their young ones need at different stages of their lives. Children always want more of the foods they like, and often these are not the most nutritious choices.
Moreover, appropriate portion sizes can be difficult to determine. Deciphering serving sizes on Nutrition Facts labels is hard to do for adults. There is virtually no information that can help parents with apportionments for smaller stomachs.
The right amount of food to put on your child's plate varies with age. Toddlers should eat about a quarter of an adult's serving in one meal, according to the American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP).
Preschoolers and younger school-age kids have greater calorie needs, especially during growth spurts. Between the age of 4 and 8, appropriate portion sizes are around one-third of those of an adult. Older children and teens will eat almost as much as their parents, but this is the time when overeating becomes particularly tempting.
Addressing the issues
For families like the Reids, weight problems can be a sensitive subject to discuss. Parents don't want to embarrass their children even more than they already are and yet the issue must be addressed before things get further out of control.
"While it may be uncomfortable to discuss weight concerns, the sooner you bring it up and help your child take action, the easier it will be to help him or her achieve a healthy weight. Ignoring it won't make it go away, and in fact, waiting until your child is older to deal with weight issues may make it harder in the long run," wrote Constance Matthiessen, a freelance writer for WebMD.
She strongly recommends tackling weight problems when a child is still young and more open to lifestyle changes. Parents, she says, must act as their child's ally, not their critic.
When it comes to making better food choices, children should be involved in the decision-making process. It gives them ownership and teaches them to take responsibility for their actions. Most importantly, parents have to be good role models.
"If parents go to fast-food restaurants and expose their child to junk food around the house, that child will develop the same habits – and those habits are extremely hard to break," Matthiessen wrote.
That's also Alexandra Reid's, Marshall's mom's experience. It's a challenge to keep up the hard-won eating and exercise regimens for the whole family.
"We are a work in progress," she said.
Aren't we all?

When players are forced into going both ways, fatigue is bound to be a factor.
That was certainly the case as DeWitt Clinton took advantage of a tired Port Richmond squad to dominate after halftime and rally for a 30-28 double overtime PSAL City conference victory on Sunday in the Bronx.
"We need fresh bodies on 'D' is what we need. They're on the sideline, but they're not playing until they come everyday. So I'd rather lose with my starters out there," stated Port Richmond head coach Lou Vesce. "Instead I have guys on the sidelines who thought it was OK to take off the other day. I'll lose with my players who come every day. If I have to take the 'L,' I'll take the 'L.' I don't care."
When Anthony Shakes brought back an interception 15 yards for a touchdown, things looks promising as Port Richmond (1-1) took a 22-8 lead midway through the third quarter.
Both teams failed to generate any offense on their next possession but the Governors (2-0) quickly jumped back into the contest with a three-play, 40-yard drive as quarterback Brandon Harris completed all three of his attempts, which included an 18-yard scoring strike to Ovandre Reynolds.
Port Richmond quarterback James Windom was intercepted deep on his team's next drive and DeWitt Clinton went to work on the game-tying drive.
This time, the hosts were a bit more methodical marching 82 yards on 15 plays and reached paydirt with Reynolds' 15-yard TD catch from Harris. Harris then connected with Jordan Pedroza for the two-point conversion to knot the game at 22 with 3:37 remaining.
The Raiders went three-and-out on their next drive and then forced Harris into four straight incompletions. PR took over at their own 44 with under a minute remaining but failed to generate any offense to send the game into overtime.
In the extra session, Clinton had the ball first and gave Port Richmond a golden opportunity when Clive McCormack Jr. fumbled inside the 5 and the loose ball was recovered by Patrick Moreau. The Raiders couldn't capitalize though as the offense generated just two yards on the drive.
PR had the ball first in the second overtime and finally showed some life when they scored on Terrence Overton's 7-yard run. However, the two-point conversion was missed so the visitors took just a 28-22 lead.
That came back to haunt Port Richmond as Harris rumbled 20 yards to the end zone on the first play of the Governors' ensuing drive. The sophomore then won the game when he rolled left on the two-point conversion and dove over the goal line for the winning points.
"They totally took momentum in the second half," said Vesce. "We couldn't move the ball. We turned the ball over. We went three-and-out three times. (Losing is) what's going to happen when you don't move the ball in the second half."
NOTES: Port Richmond starting quarterback Devin Mitchell did not play and missed the game due to family issues according to Vesce. Windom finished 6 of 15 for 33 yards with a touchdown and interception ... Port Richmond had just 87 yards of offense and three first downs during the second half and both overtimes ... After rushing for 159 yards last week, Lamont Bryant broke the 100-yard plateau again finishing with 140 yards on 15 carries. However, 59 came on his first rush which was also accounted for PR's first touchdown.

Syracuse, NY -- Syracuse police closed off the 1200 block of Park Street this morning as they investigated what was originally thought to be the body of an infant found in the back of Syracuse city trash truck.
A member of the county medical examiner's office went to the scene and determined the remains to be that of an animal, Lt. Timothy Flynn said at the scene.
Police were called to the trash truck about 10:15 a.m. when city workers discovered what looked to be the remains of a body, Flynn said.
"It looked lke body parts," Flynn said.
The medical examiner determined that there was a chambered stomach among the remains and definitely not from a human, Flynn said.
Police found the residence responsible for putting out the remains in the trash, Flynn said. The family said the remains were that of a deer roadkill, Flynn said.
The street was closed at Kirkpatrick and Park streets, but police expected to reopen the road just after the medical examiner made his determination.

FLINT, MI -- State Rep. Woodrow Stanley hopes to help mobility-impaired tenants with new legislation.
The legislation, which was recently approved by the House Local Government Committee, would require public housing commissions to offer first-floor apartments or units to mobility-impaired tenants if one becomes available.
"Every day, struggles of mobility are an issue for those with an impairment that makes walking across the street a challenge," said Stanley, D-Flint, in a written statement. "With this bill, the safety of these individuals is put first."
Tenants with disabilities would be given a right of first choice to relocate to a dwelling on the ground floor, where walking up and down flights of stairs would not be a safety concern.

Peyton Manning Children's Hospital at St. Vincent
On September 5, 2007 St. Vincent Children's Hospital was officially renamed the Peyton Manning Children's Hospital at St. Vincent. The facility was originally opened in 2003 and is located at the St. Vincent flagship West 86th Street hospital complex.
"In the NFL, the name on the back of the jersey is emblematic of a player's commitment to contribute any way he can to the success of that team. For me, having the name on the front of this building carries with it much the same: a weighty responsibility to contribute to the many victories ahead at St. Vincent." –Peyton Manning
Join the Peyton Manning Children's Hospital at St. Vincent in the fight to end child abuse in Indiana. You can show your support by purchasing a PMCH at St. V license plate. License plates cost $40 annually, $25 of which will directly support the Child Protection Team at Peyton Manning Children's Hospital at St. Vincent. The Child Protection Team works around the clock with community agencies, law enforcement officials, and other health professionals to ensure the safety and health for Hoosier children suspected of being neglected and abused.

A Wichita Falls jewel thief who was released from jail through an error, then recaptured last summer in East Texas, has been sentenced to prison.
56 year old Brian Lawrence Fuller has numerous robbery and burglary charges filed against him, and pleaded in Dallas County Wednesday to two aggravated robbery charges and one robbery charge.
He received 40 year sentences on each count, to be served concurrently. According to FBI and other authorities, Fuller found most of his robbery victims at grocery stores, looking for women, usually eldelry, wearing expensive jewelry.
He would rob them in the parking lot, or follow them to their homes, sometimes with an accomplice.
One victim at a Dallas Whole Foods store says fuller viciously attacked her, pounding her head in the pavement.
She required 5 surgeries after the attack. Fuller and an accomplice took her $90,000, 7.5 carat ring.
Wichita County deputies searched Fuller's home here and found gold coins and a diamond ring buried in the back yard.
He was arrested in 2010, then released by mistake on a $50-thousand bond that was supposed to be $500,000 thousand.
