One of the great defenses we have against the holiday pressures is our worship of Jesus. In worshipping Christ at Christmas we push back against the materialistic and cultural Grinches that attempt to steal the true celebration of the Advent. We must hear and heed the invitation of the carol: "O come all ye faithful … O come let us adore Him, Christ the Lord."
Last Sunday a treacherously thick layer of ice virtually paralyzed our city. As a result most churches were forced to cancel their Sunday worship services and other church activities. In the twenty-two years I have been in Fort Worth I don't recall ever having to do that before. While many of us took advantage of the day to worship quietly in our homes, I think many of us felt an ache in our souls that we were not able to gather with our brothers and sisters to worship Christ the Lord, particularly at this season. Perhaps it served to remind us of how much we need the strength and encouragement that comes from gathering with other believers for worship and edification.
In light of that I have an idea!
Let's determine to do our very best to be in church this Sunday. What if we set an attendance record in the middle of December! Like the shepherds around Bethlehem, let's come with our hearts hungry to worship Christ the Lord. Like the Wise Men of old, let's come with our hands bearing gifts for Christ through His church. Like the angels let's be ready to lift our voices to say and sing, "Glory to God in the highest, and on earth peace to men on whom His favor rests."
And let's make it our goal to make this Christmas special for others by helping them to see the glory and the beauty of Christ. There are two great events in the next two weeks that are prime opportunities to bring others with us to worship Christ. The Katinas Christmas Concert featuring our own Choir and Orchestra will help you adore Christ this Christmas. Our Christmas Eve service will have a special Cowtown flavor to it. Don't miss it. There's no more beautiful and worshipful time and place in Fort Worth than reading the Christmas story and singing the carols of Christmas by candlelight.

HELENA, Alabama – The Helena City Council tonight decided it wants more discussion about changes to the municipality's nuisance-noise ordinance stemming from residents concerned with loud late-night music from a nearby bar.
The council had been set tonight to hold first reading on proposed changes to the ordinance that involved the addition of specific decibel levels to determine if there was a violation.
During the council's work session before its regularly scheduled meeting tonight, some leaders expressed interest in a cutoff time for loud music regardless of the decibel reading. The intended result would allow police to shut off the loud noise if it could be heard from a complaining residence.
For instance, some suggested a cutoff time of 9 p.m. from Sunday through Thursday, and midnight on Friday and Saturday.
An inability to agree on the last-minute changes to the proposed ordinance led the council to delay action on the matter. Councilman Mike Jones asked for the work session to further discuss the issue.
The council did not immediately announce a date and time of the work session that will be an open meeting, but the board indicated it would happen before the next council meeting on Aug. 4.
The city has been trying to amend its noise ordinance in light of ongoing complaints from various residents concerned about loud music from Papa Saia's Sports Grille, located adjacent to Buck Creek off Helena Road.
The city last October changed its noise ordinance to specifically prohibit "unreasonable noise or vibration," but complaints about loud music have persisted.
The proposed amendment prohibits radios, televisions, musical instruments and certain other sources of noise from exceeding 80 decibels from 6 a.m. to 9 p.m. or 75 decibels from 9 p.m. to 6 a.m. when heard in residential districts.
The proposal includes exceptions for emergency or government work, authorized activities such as factories, parades, sporting events and fairs, and certain other sources of noise.
Devin Murray, who lives in the Old Town Cottages neighborhood located across Buck Creek and Papa Saia's, said the decibel level may not work. He used the example of a portable radio blaring but not reaching 75 decibels and remaining legal in front of his home all night.
"It doesn't matter if you're 300 feet away or 10 feet away," Murray told the council tonight.
Councilwoman Leigh Hulsey agreed. "It would get on my last nerve if somebody turned on their radio at the end of my driveway and I could hear it all night," she said.
The suggestion of the cutoff time, especially on the weeknights, caused concern for City Council President Cris Nelson. "I just think 9 o'clock during the week night is going to be a hardship on the business," she said.
Papa Saia's owner Tammy Casteel said live music is a critical part of her business and patrons enjoy the music performed on the restaurant's deck overlooking Buck Creek.
"If the music stops it's going to be thousands of dollars lost during the week," she told the council. "It's really going to hurt business. People don't want to sit inside. There's not the space inside."
Casteel said her business has responded to the concerns about loud music by putting up crates to help deflect sound and moving speakers underneath a patio area. Performers are also informed about keeping noise levels at a reasonable volume, she said.
"I just feel like what's next? What are they going to say next?" Casteel said.
Jones thanked Casteel for bringing business and music to Helena. "But we have to be respectful to the neighbors and we have to be respectful to people trying to put their kids to bed," he said.

SPRINGFIELD — The Sixteen Acres apartment complex where Kevin Ambrose was killed Monday afternoon is just over 5 miles from his Wilbraham home, but it may as well be 100 miles away. The veteran Springfield police officer was gunned down in the line of duty after responding to a domestic dispute at the Lawton Arms, an apartment complex in the outlying Springfield neighborhood bordering Ambrose's suburban community.
Other than state police cruisers parked at each end of Ambrose's street, the neighborhood was silent at dawn today — less than 24 hours after Ambrose became the first Springfield police officer to be killed in the line of duty in nearly 27 years.
Things were equally quiet at the Sixteen Acres crime scene. No memorials. No pictures. No votive candles. No signs that a homicide had occurred there, in a neighborhood widely considered to be one of the city's safest. Just a red-brick apartment building where Ambrose, 56, lost his life trying to help a woman during a domestic dispute, according to authorities.
Police said Charlene Mitchell's estranged boyfriend, Shawn Bryan, 35, shot Ambrose, then Mitchell, before turning the gun on himself and ending his own life. Mitchell, 29, remained in critical condition at Baystate Medical Center Tuesday morning, Springfield Police Lt. James Rosso said.
The death of Ambrose marked the first killing of a Springfield police officer since November 1985, when officers Alain Beauregard and Michael Schiavina were shot to death by a teenager during a traffic stop in the city's Old Hill section. Officials from Springfield to Boston and beyond reacted strongly to news of Monday's murder-suicide, which came just two weeks after local law enforcement officials honored fallen officers from this region in ceremonies at Springfield police headquarters and Springfield Technical Community College.
Gov. Deval L. Patrick said the entire commonwealth was grieving for a life "cut tragically short," and for Ambrose's widow, Carla, and the couple's two children. Ambrose was killed "doing what police officers do every day — putting themselves in harm's way to protect others," Patrick said in a statement Monday evening.
"That combination of bravery and selflessness spanned Kevin's 36 years of service to the city and residents of Springfield," the governor said. "As his family, colleagues and friends begin to bear this unthinkable loss, they should know our commonwealth shares their grief and we are grateful for Kevin's decision to dedicate his life to keeping us safe."
Closer to home, Mayor Domenic J. Sarno ordered flags to be flown at half staff at all city-owned buildings in honor of Ambrose.
"On behalf of the city of Springfield and our residents, I extend my heartfelt condolences to the family of Springfield Police Officer Kevin Ambrose, who wore his badge with honor and integrity and served our city with a tremendous amount of pride and passion," Sarno said Monday. "The thoughts and prayers of everyone at Springfield City Hall are with Kevin's loving family at this very difficult and emotional time."
Officials pointed out the volatile nature of domestic violence calls, which can have fatal outcomes. "Domestic violence, as you can see, is unfortunately a very dangerous call," Sarno said.

The mayor said the "men and women in blue at the Springfield Police Department, like police departments throughout the country, are faced with very challenging, difficult and dangerous situations on a daily basis." Residents "owe a tremendous amount of gratitude to our police officers and their families" for the risks they take and the burdens they bear, according to Sarno.
Ambrose paid the "ultimate sacrifice" by protecting and serving Springfield residents, Sarno said, adding that the officer would be "sadly missed by his fellow officers and the community."
Springfield Police Commissioner William J. Fitchet, speaking at the May 16 commemoration ceremonies for local fallen police officers, said the deaths of Beauregard and Schiavina were still fresh in his mind, not knowing he would soon be grieving another city officer killed in the line of duty. The losses of Beauregard and Schiavina were "very personal for me," Fitchet said at the ceremony. At a press conference Monday outside police headquarters, Fitchet said, "It is with great regret that I announce a Springfield police officer was killed this afternoon."
Hampden District Attorney Mark G. Mastroianni said Ambrose's "career choice made him a hero."
Further afield, the national law enforcement community also noted the passing of Ambrose. Within hours of the killing, the Officer Down Memorial Page, a national organization that honors slain officers, was already paying tribute to Ambrose, who wore badge No. 7. "End of watch: Monday, June 4, 2012," the website states, citing Ambrose's last day on the job.
Shortly before 1 p.m. Monday, Ambrose responded to a domestic disturbance at the Lawton Arms, located on Lawton Street behind the Breckwood Shopping Center at the corner of Breckwood Boulevard and Wilbraham Road. There, he met Bryan, a New York City corrections officer from Long Island, and Mitchell, the mother of Bryan's 1-year-old daughter.
Bryan and Mitchell had formerly been a couple, but their relationship was over. Mitchell had obtained a court-ordered restraining order against Bryan less than an hour before Bryan shot her, Ambrose and himself. Before the violence erupted, Ambrose had escorted Bryan and Mitchell up to Mitchell's third-floor apartment at 90 Lawton St., where Bryan was expected to retrieve some of his items. That's when Bryan pushed Mitchell into the unit and locked the door, police said.
Ambrose was attempting to gain entry when Bryan opened fire through the door, hitting Ambrose at least once, police said. Bryan then opened the apartment door, stepped into the hallway and shot Ambrose again, police said. Bryan went back into the apartment and shot Mitchell in the head, then returned to his car and shot himself in the chest, police said. Officers said they found a handgun in Bryan's car.
Ambrose and Bryan were taken by ambulance to Baystate, where both were pronounced dead in the emergency room.
The couple's 1-year-old daughter was present at the time of the shootings. Witnesses at the scene told the Boston Globe that the child, whose face was covered with blood, was seen being carried from the building by a police officer. The child was uninjured, according to authorities.
Mitchell, in her court request for a restraining order, described Bryan as "a demon," claiming he was physically abusive before their relationship ended last summer. When Mitchell called 911 to report that Bryan was en route to her Sixteen Acres apartment, despite the active stay-away order, she told authorities that she feared for her life.
Bryan had been a correction officer since August 2009. His most recent posting was at Rikers Island, New York City's largest jail complex, located on an island in the middle of the East River. Bryan last worked there on Saturday, and he was scheduled to return to work on Tuesday, according to corrections officials in New York.
Dora B. Schriro, commissioner of the New York City Department of Correction, offered her condolences to Ambrose's family. "This is an unspeakable tragedy. We express our heartfelt condolences to the family of Springfield Police Officer Kevin Ambrose, his fellow officers in the Springfield Police Department and the City of Springfield," Schriro said in a statement Monday, adding that she was "shocked and saddened" by Monday's events.
"Each of us takes an oath of office to preserve and protect the lives of others," Schriro said.
Springfield Police Sgt. John M. Delaney, executive aide to Commissioner Fitchet, said he recently chatted with Ambrose, one of the city's longest-serving officers, about his tenure with the department. "He said, 'Why leave? I love my job,'" Delaney told the Daily News. "He is someone that I always looked up to."

I'm missing something Jim. How does the transformer decrease magnetic mutual coupling effects from primary to secondary as it increases "bypass" capacitance to effectively reduce turns ratio with increasing frequency? All I see happening is it making the system reactive while the effective ratio barely changes if flux coupling is high. 73 Tom _______________________________________________ See: http://www.mscomputer.com for "Self Supporting Towers", "Wireless Weather Stations", and lot's more.

Change Juvenile Crime Sentences
In June 2011, D'Marques Jones, then 15, raped and killed his half-sister in Barberton, Ohio. She was 3 years old.
Last week Jones, now 17, was sentenced to incarceration in an Ohio facility for youthful offenders. He was told to stay out of trouble there. If Jones manages to do that, he will be released from custody when he reaches 21.
A judge who issued the sentencing had no choice under state law but to send Jones to the juvenile center and tell him that, regardless of the depravity of his crime, he will be free in less than four years if he keeps his nose clean.
Juvenile offenders should be treated differently than adults. But 15 years of age is old enough to know the difference between right and wrong – certainly about raping and killing a 3-year-old girl. Clearly sentencing rules for offenders such as ones need to be altered.

Earlier this afternoon, I felt the beginnings of a virus coming on. Turns out I had simply gotten caught up in my day and forgotten to eat anything, and I mistook a drop in blood sugar for the beginnings of sickness.
But in those few moments that I thought I was getting sick, I didn't feel dread, or anxiety, or frustration, or anything like that. I felt relief. I thought, "Oh thank goodness, I can take a break." And then I thought, "Geez, that's a really twisted thought, what's that about?"
Here's what I think it's about: Being physically sick is the only excuse my inner tyrant will accept for relaxing the constant pressure I put on myself to be an awesome mom, a perfect graduate student, an inspiring and skilled blogger and coach, a future best-selling author, a great friend, and a healthy, fit, and attractive woman, all at the same time. (Oh, and I have to keep my apartment clean too!)
Being sick means forces outside my control have intervened and therefore, I can excuse myself from my own self-imposed police state. Being sick is a temporary relief from the guilt of not being perfect in all aspects of my life all the time.
For me, this is a HUGE secondary gain that I get from being sick. In other words, even though I may think of being sick as only a negative thing, in truth I am benefiting from aspects of it. In fact, given how valuable I've made the meaning of sickness in my life, I'm surprised I don't get sick more often. Common colds, MS flare-ups, whatever it takes to relieve the incessant pressure I put on myself to perform to my crazy standards.
The secondary gains of illness
If you are living with a chronic illness, it is quite common to get accustomed to the secondary gains that you may experience by being sick. So much so that you may not even be aware of them. For example, perhaps you receive more attention from friends and family when you aren't well. Perhaps those close to you are more willing to do things for you when you are sick. Perhaps being sick gets you out of cleaning or cooking or going places you don't want to go. Perhaps you feel that when you aren't well, you receive more love.
If your illness is providing an opportunity for you to feel more loved, for example, then you have a very powerful reason to keep your sickness intact in your body.
Kinda crazy, huh?
Find another way to fill your need
So, if what you truly want is to not be sick anymore, you need to become aware of the secondary gains you get from your illness and find an alternative way to fulfill those needs instead. If you don't, then your best efforts to heal – like eating well, exercising, and taking supplements – stand no chance at being effective.
Your deepest needs and wants need to be congruent with your desire to heal. But if you are getting something of great value by being sick, then healing will not take place, because at a very deep level, you don't actually want to heal.
Which brings me back to my inner tyrant. If I want to fully heal my illness, I need to find another way to relieve the pressure I put on myself to be perfect all the time. If I can find an effective substitute, then I won't need my sickness to serve the role of forcing me to be compassionate with myself. I won't need an MS episode to cut myself some slack for once! I'll be releasing a powerful motivator that is keeping my illness in place.
What secondary gain is keeping your illness in place?

Black Activism Examined During March on Washington Anniversary
Hazel Trice Edney | 8/27/2009, 8:08 a.m.
This week marks the 46th anniversary of the March on Washington for Jobs and Freedom, Aug. 28, 1963. Nearly a half century since the march that drew more than 200,000 to Washington, D.C., Black activists contend that their commitment remains the same.
€I think that some leaders are now reluctant to engage in public struggle because President Barack [Obama] is in the White House. But, I would remind you that a public demonstration for justice would not be a march on the President,€ said the Rev. Jesse Jackson, president and CEO of the Chicago-based Rainbow/PUSH Coalition.
Though public demonstrations by Black activists have been scaled back significantly since Obama€s election, the intense focus on issues is still the same, Jackson said.
€In 1963, we were marching for the right to vote. Now we€re marching to the polls by the millions all over the nation. Activism, now, is the election of city councils and state legislatures, Congress and President of the United States,€ Jackson said.
€When you fight, you fight with the whole armor of God €" litigation, legislation, registration, demonstration. All of those are forms of fighting. Even in 1963, we had won the €54 Supreme Court decision, the €55 Montgomery bus boycott, and students across the South marched on Selma. Even then, we used litigation, legislation, registration and demonstration. We€ve always used several forms of fighting.€
Jackson admits that the current lack of street activism, that had resurged during the eight years of the Bush Administration, may be necessary to make ultimate progress on issues through the first four years of the Obama Administration.
Street demonstrations are not only still needed to fight remaining inequities, but to counteract the uprising of White-led right wing activism around the nation in the wake of health care legislation, Jackson said.
€The evidence of hostility is shown clearly in the town hall meetings,€ he said. €We are still fighting. But we€re winning. The reason why the right wing is acting so hostile is because they are feeling desperate. They lost the White House. We won.€
€Our agenda has not changed. It€s just that instead of having an adversary in the White House, we have an ally,€ Jackson said.
The National Urban League€s Marc Morial agrees.
€We have to be fundamentally realistic. Our constituencies voted for this President € Black leadership€s role is to support the public policies that we believe will benefit our constituencies. I think we must realize that personality politics, in my opinion, are [unnecessary] when there€s an opportunity to work along with a president for the shaping of public policy that benefits our community,€ Morial said.
€Having said that, I believe it€s important to recognize that Black leadership€s role is to hold every elected official accountable. And I sometimes wonder why people say we have to hold Obama accountable, when I don€t hear that kind of conversation from some people about the Congress of the United States, congressional leadership, about the governors and the mayors.€
Morial said it is much easier to work with a president who has been historically friendly toward civil rights and equality.
€Some of the fights and the pushing and the shoving takes place beyond the view of the media,€ Morial said.
€It€s not just about what we say publicly. It€s about what the results of the policies and the programs are.€
Morial said he has been working with the Department of Labor on finding green jobs and green job-training in the Black community in order to lower the Black unemployment rate.
Political observers have watched the first 200 days of the Obama presidency.
Dr. Julia Hare, co-founder of the San Francisco-based Black Think Tank, said while Black leaders should not treat Obama any differently than the 43 White presidents who came before him, there does appear to be a need for more activism on economic equity.
But, Hare observes there has appeared to be a fear factor in Black leadership€s reluctance to criticize the first Black president on issues such as the need to get economic stimulus dollars to the poor faster instead of to banks and financial institutions that caused the crisis.
U.S. Rep. Barbara Lee (D-Calif.), chair of the Congressional Black Caucus, which now has 17 subcommittee chairs and four full chairs in Congress, said the president is doing a remarkable job given all that is on his plate. She said it is a relief to not have to fight like they did with the Bush Administration.

Anybody have their Special and regular dividend reinvested? And at what price was it reinvested at?
reinvested at 14.355 per share
I'm with Smith Barney and also received the reinvestment at $14.355. I have asked my broker to do the research and find out how I received this ridiculous pricing (way out of range on either 12/31 or 1/22) and, why I didn't receive the 1/18 dividend to boot. The shares showed up in my account on 1/22. As soon as I received a satisfactory answer I'll post again.
I was a little amazed at the rather wide variation of the reinvestment share prices everyone was mentioning on the board ... so I checked into it ...
I hold IGR both in my own individual retail Vanguard brokerage account, and in my 401K brokerage account (Ameriprise) .. Ameriprise showed trade date of reinvestment as 12/31, with reinvestment share price of $13.66 ...
Vanguard, on the other hand, showed same trade and settlement date of reinvestment as being on 12/31, but with price of $14.51 ... I checked price range of IGR on 12/31, and lo and behold, $14.51 was way outside the range, well above even the highest price for the day, and a pretty hefty 81 cents per share above the Ameriprise price - and this on a LOT of shares ..
So I called Vanguard ... seems their clearing agent (Pershing) has a policy of executing any dividend reinvestments as a market order at the open of that trading day which occurs three business days BEFORE the listed payable date, SO LONG AS there are at least four business days between the record date and the payable date .. this put the trade date on 12/26, and indeed, the ultimate reinvestment price of $14.51 was in the range for that date .. there are undoubtedly different policies for different brokerages and clearing agents, and thus the discrepancies are explained.
- C Steinbruegge, MD
When I spoke to Smith Barney, they told me if you read the Prospectus, it will explain how they go about handling the reinvestments. Don't know if they were giving me the old run around or not as I don't have the propectus and I probably woundn't understand it. Oh well!
Mine was finally posted last night. Same as yours $14.355. I think it's a good idea to check like this once in awhile.
Got $546.00 reinvested on 12/31/07 for my 300 shares @14.34 for 38 shares w/Fidelity
I still haven't had mine reinvested yet and I just can't understand it. I'm wating on 1584.5 shares or $2883.79 to be reinvested. Maybe I should have taken the cash, especially with the continued drop in share price. Has me thinking....
I dont see why you would reinvest the dividend.This cef is essentially an income producing stock.It yields alot of cash if you reinvest the dividends you will have a hard time keeping track of your cost basis.I should have sold this when it went up to the mid 20s and taken the capital gain as it will take along time to recapture thet move but I stuck with it because of the income stream
I agree about selling in the 20 range. But now I am reinvesting so as to grow the monthly dividend and if it goes back to that range, maybe then sell. But I'll get paid to wait till then and I might add pretty well. My capital gain that I'm reinvesting amounts to about $3,000. Maybe I should have taken that, but in the future I think I will be ok with this. Thoughts?
checked my brokerage account today. Special dividend was reinvested at $13.78 on 12/31/07.
Forgot to ask you at what brokerage house? I'm at Smith Barney and nothing has been posted as yet 1-12-08.
Thanks alot for the reply. Mine as yet hasn't been reinvested. Just checking to see if I'm getting a fair shake from my brokerage house. In the past I have felt that they were reinvesting at a higher price than I thought it should be. Thanks again.

A 24-year-old man was fatally shot in the walkway of an Algiers apartment complex late Tuesday, according to the New Orleans Police Department. The slaying occurred just before midnight in the 2100 block of Cypress Acres Drive.
When they were notified of the incident, police found the man shot several times, NOPD spokesman officer Garry Flot said. The victim died on the scene.
Officials did not immediately identify the man, and they have not released details on a motive or suspects in the shooting. Homicide Detective Tindell Murdock is in charge of the investigation.
Flot asked anyone with information about this case to call Crimestoppers at 504.822.1111 or toll-free at 877.903.7867. Tips can also be texted to C-R-I-M-E-S (274637); text TELLCS then the crime information.
Callers or texters do not have to give their names or testify and can earn a $2,500 reward for information that leads to an indictment. Check back with nola.com later for any updates.

Taiwan News, Staff Writer
The National Teachers Association welcomed the change, but expressed regret that teachers still did not hold the right to strike. Teachers now already had the right to solidarity and the right to negotiate, but they were still missing the third major labor right, the right to strike, the association said.
The Council of Labor Affairs described the passage as a major step forward but explained its opposition to teacher strikes.
ŌĆ£In order to protect the right of students to receive education, the Labor Dispute Resolution Act will include the rule that teachers still wonŌĆÖt be allowed to strike,ŌĆØ said CLA Vice Minister Kuo Fang-yu.
Unions would still be off limits though for military personnel and for staff at companies directly under the Ministry of National Defense.
The CLA said the passage in third reading of the Union Act Tuesday signaled the completion of three significant labor-related acts after efforts lasting one decade. The two others were the Group Negotiation Act passed in 2008 and the Labor Dispute Resolution Act from 2009, the CLA said.
CLA Minister Jennifer Wang said the three acts and their amendments would come into force either next January 1 or on Labor Day, May 1.
Another change to the Union Act was the compulsory membership of workers in labor unions, though without the stipulation of fines. When an earlier version of the law was about to win approval last October without that element, labor union leaders said it would cause the demise of their organizations. A dozen unions came out to the Legislative Yuan to protest against the absence of compulsory membership.
Some lawmakers from the ruling Kuomintang said that forcing laborers to join a union would infringe their human rights and limit their freedom, but senior legislator Lin Yi-shih said the solution including the absence of fines, which was reached Tuesday morning, was a positive compromise between human rights and the operational needs of unions.
The solution gave room to unions to recruit members, while laborers who really did not feel like joining a union could do so without having to fear fines.
Under the Union Act, employers will not have the right to take actions against union members such as cutting wages, refusing to employ them, downgrading them or even laying them off. Union representatives could also arrange for leave to have time to take part in union affairs, reports said.
Foreign workers would for the first time have the right to run for office in labor unions, since the law did away with the requirement that all union officials should hold Taiwanese citizenship.

ABINGTON, Mass. (AP) - Former U.S. Attorney Michael Sullivan says he has enough signatures to be on the Republican ballot for U.S. Senate in Massachusetts.
Sullivan delivered an estimated 23,000 to 27,000 signatures to Abington Town Hall on Wednesday morning. He needs 10,000 certified signatures to be placed on the primary ballot.
Sullivan said he was excited to submit that many signatures after starting his all-volunteer signature-gathering effort 12 days ago. Sullivan said his volunteers' ability to gather so many signatures in less than two weeks shows he has a "groundswell of support."
Sullivan has two opponents in the Republican primary, former Navy SEAL Gabriel Gomez and state Rep. Dan Winslow.
Sullivan says he is anti-abortion and fiscally conservative. He says Washington is broken and people need to use common sense to reach agreement.

* BugFix: No video with HTC One X phone clips
* BugFix: Samsung Galaxy S2 phone clips audio problem
All features / Full description
With MP4Cam2AVI, you can:
- Convert and join MPEG-4 ASP clips from your camera to a single DivX-compatible MPEG-4 movie to watch on PC or DVD-MPEG4 player, preserving original video quality;
- Batch convert many clips to edit with any avi editing app;
- Convert *.MP4 (MPEG4 ASP) movie from Nero Recode to DivX-compatible AVI format for DVD-MPEG4 player;
- Convert MJPEG MOV's from photo camera do DivX-compatible MPEG-4 AVI in one click;
- Convert H.264 (MPEG-4 AVC) *.MP4/*.MOV clips to H.264 AVI, editable with VirtualDub and playable with Windows Media Player (H.264 VfW codec needed, i.e. last FFDShow);
- Watch MPEG-4 ASP/MJPEG clips before conversion using internal preview;
- Arrange clips befure joining using simple timeline;
- Correct audio/video lag in some cameras like Minolta A200
- Make sound 'softer' with configurable lowpass filter (great for Sanyo Xacti C1)
From version 2.20 MP4Cam2AVI supports MPEG-4 AVI files from cameras like Casio EX505/Z750//S500/S600, Pentax Optio s5n. Files from these cameras are not DivX-compatible, most DVD-MPEG4 players won't play them. Repacking with MP4Cam2AVI solves this problem (this is not simple FourCC change, but some fixes in AVI header).
From version 2.50 MP4Cam2AVI supports MPEG-4 ASP compression and preview using xvidcore.dll libray (XviD codec). You can convert MJPEG MOV's from photo camera to MPEG-4 AVI in one click.
From version 2.70 MP4Cam2AVI supports MPEG-4 AVC (H.264) video from new H.264 cameras like Sanyo CG65 and Casio EX-V7.
MP4Cam2AVI converts *.3GP clips from mobile phones, but with no audio (no AMR audio support yet). Target avi's will have H.263 video, so, you should install H.263 codec to view or edit them.

I get a message using Windows 7 Ultimate 32 bit

Click OK and the programs opens
I was hoping that it would it flat out combine my .mp4 (H264) files from the Flip Ultra HD Pocket Camcorder to one .mp4. It can't. However, it did offer the option to join files to one resulting .avi. These files joined very fast, (just a couple minutes) was perfect and in orignal quality. I combined as many as 9 clips from my handball game and wound up with a one "Game 1" clip. It was very easy to use.
I looked for something that would do this job because for some reason when adding video sources to a title with DVD Flick, it resulted in a/v sync errors. I did not want a 28 title DVD with a title for each clip. I wanted to easily access "Game 1", for example.
Without combining video sources within a title, DVD flick seems to be fine. Thanks to this tool I was able to do that.
Does not recognise MOV videos from Kodak c623 camera.
Though so far neither does anything else so it's not alone in that.
Pity, I really thought this one would be the answer to converting them
Another 10 for making Nero Digital files to *.avi's that can be played in most standalone DivX players.
Takes approx. 10 minutes for a 2 hour video (converts audio to mp3).
This is my favorite mode to backup DVD's to .avi. Great results and very fast.

Your teen has been acting strangely lately -- kind of zoned out, hanging out with new friends, dressing differently. Is it just adolescence or is something more sinister going on?
Paranoid parents can find out if their kids are doing drugs with a new drug test that doesn't require your kid to provide a urine sample.
Confirm Biosciences in San Diego has a new kit, Hairconfirm, that analyzes (surreptitiously snipped?) hair samples to determine if any substances have been used in the past 90 days.
The technology measures traces in the hair follicle, and the company advertises that it can provide results within 24 to 48 hours and can detect how often the subject is using drugs, from recreational to daily use. Substances tested include marijuana, cocaine, amphetamines, heroin, PCP and codeine.
The kit costs $79.99 and can be purchased at Duane Reed drug stores, on Amazon.com and on the company's Web site, www.confirmbiosciences.com.

Oil prices dip on poor demand outlook
October 11, 2012, 12:11 am TWN
LONDON--World oil prices weakened on Wednesday, as the gloomy demand outlook overshadowed concerns about heightened tensions in the crude-rich Middle East region, traders said.
Brent North Sea crude for delivery in November slid 63 cents to US$113.87 a barrel in late morning trade in London.
New York's main contract, light sweet crude for November, dropped 77 cents to US$91.62 a barrel.
Crude futures had rallied by about US$3 on Tuesday, with Brent oil striking a three-week high point on heightened concerns that the Syrian conflict could spread to Turkey.
However, traders shifted their focus on Wednesday back to stubborn demand fears after the International Monetary Fund slashed its economic growth forecasts.
"It seems that gains were short-lived as crude oil prices reversed on Wednesday and gave back recent gains, tracking losses across the equity markets amid global growth concerns that currently weigh on most commodity markets," said analyst Myrto Sokou at the Sucden Financial Research brokerage.
"Recent solid U.S. economic data provide some initial relief to the markets, but the global economic prospects remain fairly weak and uncertain with potential for a serious slowdown in the oil demand."

Various forms of torture might be easier for Eagles fans than looking back at their teams last 10 games at home.
Of the 10 straight losses at home, five of them have been by two scores or more. The offense has turned the ball over 31 times combined in the losses, compared to just nine forced turnovers by the defense. The losing streak has spanned four quarterbacks, three defensive coordinators, and two head coaches.
If they can win on Sunday, however, all might be forgiven.
The Eagles have a golden opportunity to make a statement vs. Washington, as they can take sole control of first place in the NFC East and put to rest a losing streak at home that has spanned over 400 days.
Will they get it done?
Keep it locked right here on Sunday during the game as we will be updating this post with news from the game, scoring plays, and instant analysis. Also make sure to chime in below in the comments section with your thoughts and reaction to what is close to a must win game for the Eagles.
Eagles 24, Redskins , 5:57, fourth quarter: Uh-oh. Things are getting interesting as The Redskins have pulled to within 8 on a 41-yard touchdown pass.
Eagles 24, Redskins 8, 12:56 fourth quarter: After deciding to go for it on 4th down, the Eagles turned the ball over and the Redskins made them pay on the next play. Two Eagles collided as Darrel Young caught a 62-yard touchdown.
Eagles 24, Redskins 0, 9:41 third quarter: It's a blowout. Nick Foles drove the Eagles down the field, and McCoy finished the drive from one-yard out.
Eagles 17, Redskins 0, 3:51 second quarter Alex Henery from 23-yards out gives the Eagles a three possession lead right before the half
Eagles 14, Redskins 0, 14:31 second quarter: It looked like Brent Celek was going to bring it in from 42-yards out, but he was called down on the one-yard line. McCoy scored from there, going untouched into the endzone.
Eagles 7, Redskins 0, 2:48 first quarter: Nick Foles with maybe his best drive as a starting quarterback ever at Lincoln Financial Field, as he hits McCoy in stride for a long completion before taking it in himself from four-yards out.
INACTIVES: The Eagles inactives are out. Check them out here.

God of glory, God of wonder, God of beauty,
You reign through all eternity
Before the mountains
Or the earth had been formed
You were our everlasting Lord.

You've been our shelter safe
For young & old to generations past
We stand in awe of a God so great
We stand in thanks for your faithfulness
O Lord, you've been our dwelling place.

FLINT, MI—When Lyric Da Queen got airtime on Simon Cowell's "The X Factor" on Wednesday, Oct. 10, she used the outlet to talk about something dear to her: her hometown of Flint.
"People don't make it out of Flint. They either go to prison, or they're dead. I've been to more funerals than weddings," she said. "...When you come from those type of extremes, and you get to a position like this, there's nothing you won't do to make what you want to happen, happen."
Lyric initially didn't make it past the second task of "Boot Camp," but judges felt that they were cutting too much talent. They paired her with a group called One4Five from Providence, Rhode Island, and gave them a new name: Lyric 145.
The group contestants then boarded a yacht to Simon Cowell's home in Miami Beach, Fla., where they were mentored by Cowell and his friend, Grammy-winning salsa singer Marc Anthony.
Other judges brought their own select talent to help out contestants. Demi Lovato enlisted pop singer Nick Jonas, L.A. Reid called upon superstar Justin Bieber, and Britney Spears dropped a line for Black Eyed Peas frontman will.i.am.
Lyric 145 performed for Cowell and Anthony, putting a hip-hop spin on Miley Cyrus' "Party In The U.S.A." Lyric jumpstarted the performance, dancing and rapping while wearing her signature eye patch—she had underwent eye surgery right before the competition—and Sony headphones.
Anthony said he was "thoroughly impressed" by the performance, and added a specific comment about Lyric Da Queen: "She is a superstar. ... I think she'll eat them alive."
Lyric 145's performance has already been viewed 7,800 times -- and that's only on the official X Factor YouTube page. Other users uploaded their own videos of the performance.
Lyric 145 will have to beat out two other groups for the chance to perform live on the show.
Cowell enjoyed Playback, but a bored Anthony remarked, "I found myself looking for planes." The group Emblem3 performed The Police's "Every Little Thing She Does Is Magic," but one of the singers missed his cue. Anthony said that a girl group named Sister C was "a home run."
A Philadelphia duo named Dope Crisis failed to impress Cowell and Anthony, and Lylas, another group formed by contestants who didn't make boot camp as solo artists, were described as "unbelievable" by the judges.
At the end of the episode, Cowell said, "There's one clearly great group here."

Google Buys Utah's iProvo Network For $1, Has 5 Years To Finish Upgrading It
When Google announced that it will bring Google Fiber to Provo, Utah, they said they'd be buying the existing iProvo fiber optic network to build on. And surprisingly, buying the entire network cost them a measly dollar. However, it isn't like they got off easy. The upgrades to the network have to be done within five years, and it's estimated to cost $30 million. This is no small investment, and it seems that is the reason the city sold the network for so little.
In the end, Google is still spending a ton of money, even with the network being a measly dollar. But Google Fiber will benefit the community immensely, so there is good reason for trying to help Google out. We're glad to see the city and Google coming to a good agreement though, aren't you?

Measure Seeking to Restructure MARTA Clears House
A measure seeking to significantly restructure the way MARTA does business cleared the Georgia House Thursday.
The chamber overwhelmingly passed House Bill 264, 113-57.
If approved by the Senate and governor, the measure would force the transit agency to privatize many key operations, including billing, cleaning, and paratransit services.
On the House floor, the bill's sponsor, Representative Mike Jacobs (R-Brookhaven), said MARTA needs fundamental change.
"MARTA needs to have a more frequent, more regular schedule and needs to have a more robust transit system. And again, if we do not fix things, if we remain mired in these tired old arguments of the past, we are not going to get there."
In addition to outsourcing, the bill changes who appoints MARTA's board. The measure switches much of the responsibility from Fulton and DeKalb county commissions to a group of mayors from the northern parts of those counties.
The bill also requires a reduction in employee pension and health benefits.
House Majority Whip Ed Lindsey (R-Atlanta) said the changes would put the agency on a more sustainable financial path.
"This will save MARTA fifty million dollars a year. Fifty million dollars a year. That's a lot of train service, that's a lot of bus service, that's a lot of money that can go to help reduce debt."
House Democrats strongly opposed the measure.
Representative Keisha Waites (D-Atlanta) said since the state contributes no funding to MARTA, it had no right to tell the transit agency what to do.
"The state doesn't contribute any money whatsoever to MARTA, yet it has its hands in the decision-making powers. I think these decisions need to be left to the individuals that fund MARTA, specifically DeKalb County, Fulton County, and the city of Atlanta."
Another key element of the bill frees MARTA for three more years from a state-imposed spending requirement. The bill's opponents, however, say the requirement should be lifted permanently.
Before lawmakers voted on the measure, Representative Pat Gardner (D-Atlanta) offered a motion to table the vote, but House Republicans easily defeated it.

Imagine how you'd feel if your dog - the brown-eyed baby who loves you no matter what - had taken off and was out there, somewhere, vulnerable to cars and coyotes and dognapping.
How far would you go to get her back?
Would you run around tossing your husband's dirty socks in strangers' back yards in case she picks up the scent?
Connie Kerr of Ann Arbor would. And did.
You may have seen a few of the 200 signs of all sizes Kerr has placed around the north side of town, or taken one of her fliers, or seen her out with a flashlight yelling "Skye!"
In fact, she wonders if some people hope the Cairn terrier is found for one reason: "Just so I get the heck out of their neighborhood!" she said with a smile. "They're probably sick of seeing me."
On May 31, little Skye pushed her way out the back door to chase a deer in the back yard. She ran so far, apparently, she lost her way home.
Kerr, a nurse who works part-time at the University of Michigan Medical Center, searched from 4 a.m. to 1 a.m. every day for the first two weeks. So did her husband, Robert.
"But we just couldn't keep up that pace and stay healthy," she said, almost apologetically.
She's still searching several hours every day, posting on the Internet, knocking on doors, hoping every phone call is The One.
Kerr has received eight calls from people who've seen the gray "Toto dog" mostly in the area around Rudolf Steiner School on Newport Road. That's about two miles from her home on River Pines Drive. The last call was Sunday.
But no one's tried to catch her, though she's gentle and good with people.
People have told Kerr that she's been gone so long, it might mean she's happiest on her own.
"No," said Kerr. "She's happiest on a lap."
At 7 a.m. Saturday, the Kerrs grilled a chicken near one of the sightings in case Skye smelled the meat. They've also set out three Havahart live animal traps, along with Skye's dog bed, travel bed, and the bed of their other terrier, Toby. Then there was the night they accompanied a bloodhound on a late-night search by flashlight through the neighborhood around Rudolf Steiner School, all the while hoping the homeowners wouldn't walk out with a shotgun.
The Colonel Potter Cairn Rescue Network organized a search for Skye Saturday at the Rudolph Steiner parking lot, but did not find her. Kerr got Skye from the network two years ago after she'd been neglected by a previous owner.
"I wish I'd taught her to read," Kerr joked. "That way she'd read the signs, know how much we're looking for her, and come home."
If you see Skye, who is gray and wearing a red harness, call Kerr at 734-761-3715.
Then don't let that dog out of your sight until she gets there.

Here's how to alert the IRS of identity theft, how to file your return, and how long your refund will take…
After entering your tax information, you finally hit the e-file button, only to have your return rejected by the IRS. The reason; a tax return has already been filed with your social security number!
There's a sinking feeling in your gut and an enveloping sense of dread. What do you do? How will you ever get your refund money now? Remain Calm. You'll get through this.
What To Do
The first thing to do is to double check all of the information on your return, especially your name and Social Security number and those of your spouse and dependents. Sometimes this error can be caused by a simple typo.
If it turns out that all of the information on your return is correct, call the IRS and alert them to the fact that your identity has been stolen. The IRS actually has a Identity Protection Specialized Unit and a number, 1-800-908-4490, dedicated to telephone assistance for individuals who believe they may be a victim of identity theft.
You will also have to file Form 14039 [Identity Theft Affidavit] along with photocopies of at least one document verifying your identity. Permissible documents include a passport, driver's license, social security card, or other valid U.S. Federal or State government issued identification.
You can either mail or fax the form in to the IRS. If you weren't able to e-file your tax return, you should print it out and mail it in to the IRS along with Form 14039 and the copies of your identification.
You can mail these forms and documents to:
Internal Revenue Service
P.O. Box 9039
Andover, MA 01810
Or fax them to (978) 684-4542
Your Refund Will Take Longer To Receive If You're a Victim of Identity Theft
Identity theft is certainly a serious problem, but you can rest easy knowing that the IRS deals with this sort of thing all the time. They should be able to resolve everything so that you can file your return and get your refund. You may also receive a special Identity Protection Personal Identification Number (IP PIN) to help protect your identity the next time you file taxes.
The bad news is that you are going to have to wait a long time for your refund. You are being punished for having done nothing wrong, but such is life. There's no telling how long it will take the IRS to resolve an issue like this. They have to review all the evidence before finally making a decision, and then your return has to go through all the normal processing that it would have anyway.
Best case scenario, you get your refund in six to eight weeks. Note, this is best case scenario. It could be several months or even up to a year before the IRS can get your refund out.
Last year there were 1.1 million cases of identity theft and tax fraud, which makes this a problem affecting an alarmingly high percentage of taxpayers. The IRS has implemented changes to their system for the 2013 tax season which should hopefully cut down on the instances of identity theft, but these have also caused problems that are delaying processing, further pushing back refunds.
Remember, even if your identity is stolen you can still use PriorTax to file past due tax, you'll just have to mail your return in.

The Kitchen Theatre production of David Wiltse's "A Marriage Minuet" is so bubbly and high-spirited that I'd like to compare it to champagne. But it's really more like a great fireworks show, with frequent explosions of laughter, linked by somewhat lesser guffaws and chortles.
Wiltse's comedy, in its regional premiere, proves to be a funny, classy production from start to finish -- a blend of ribaldry, intellect and unveiling of hypocrisy in the style of the great comedies of manners.
The story centers on two couples. Douglas (Matthew Boston) is a tweedy, weedy malcontent with dark-rimmed glasses and graying beard. He gives his students snarling lectures about morality, and he writes earnest books that don't sell. His vivacious wife Lily (Rita Rehn) is happy enough, but . . . . Well, they don't have sex. Doug has lost interest.
Rex (Brian Dykstra) looks like a blond surfer who's gone a bit chunky in middle age. He writes sex-filled best-sellers, women fall for him, and he knows that he is a man led by his penis.
So Rex has a lot of sex, but his tall, charming wife Violet (Krista Scott) doesn't, and she's beginning to wonder if she can seduce Doug, at about the time that Lily decides she'd like to seduce Rex.
Oh -- and there's Girl (Heather Frase), a young woman of many types, in various tight, flattering costumes. Every time a man decides to be faithful, Girl comes into his line of sight, apparently unaware that his eyes are riveted on her behind and that her every move is driving him crazy.
Wiltse's dialogue turns these characters loose in wild flights of stylish, exuberant language, and Margarett Perry's direction pushes stage movement toward the limits of slapstick physicality.
Frequently -- somewhat in the manner of Eugene O'Neill -- the characters keep up a facade for each other, but speak their real thoughts to the audience.
For example, even as Girl is succumbing to Rex early in the play, she turns to the audience and says, "Too old, too smarmy, too obvious." But what the heck, he's a famous author.
Rex, as the most self-aware and cynical character, gets some of the best lines. As he is figuring out what marital flaw he can exploit to seduce Lily, he says, "Such practical scheming in no way reduces the purity of my love for her."
He is also keenly aware that sex always disappoints him. "I regret the woman," he says, "but not the accomplishment....I philander for the arithmetic." He claims that he has never found a woman with perfect hips, but, like a medieval philosopher, he reasons that because he can conceive of the possibility, there must be one somewhere, and he intends to keep looking.
One early scene, an over-extended leave-taking after a dinner party, needs trimming. The desperate small talk and restless moves just go on too long.
Kent Goetz' black-and-white set is all modish right angles, especially a small, comfortless couch. In order to have (simulated) sex on it, from foreplay to finale, the characters need enough agility and levitation skills to join Cirque du Soleil.
In the intimate 73-seat space of Kitchen Theatre, these skilled actors do a lot of confiding in the audience, connecting so securely that just a word or a gesture can trigger illumination and laughter.

Performance length: One hour, 40 minutes, including intermission.

Attendance: Est. 70 (capacity 73).

Marry in haste, repent in luxury: That's the lesson learned by the lovely Georgiana Spencer (Keira Knightley) in THE DUCHESS, an elegantly enjoyable romance set in 18th-century England.
After PRIDE AND PREJUDICE and her trio of PIRATES OF THE CARIBBEAN epics, Knightley is well on her way to supplanting Helena Bonham Carter as the queen of costume pictures. It's a spot she can confidently claim as her own. Knightley's delicacy and natural grace make her spectacularly well-suited to playing sad-eyed aristocrats who must maneuver carefully through drawing rooms full of perfectly dressed, soft-spoken sharks.
Hear critics James Sanford and John Serba talk about "The Duchess" in this week's podcast.
Knightley's suffering skills get a high-impact workout in THE DUCHESS, as Georgiana enthusiastically enters into an arranged marriage with the Duke of Devonshire (the excellent Ralph Fiennes) and quickly realizes her cold fish of a husband only wants her to provide him with a male heir. Georgiana gets a warmer reception from the society crowd, which crowns her "empress of fashion" and takes her opinions and interests seriously.
Unsurprisingly, Georgiana attracts the interest of a young man much better suited to her style than the Duke: Charles Grey (Dominic Cooper), who has political ambitions. But while the Duke makes no secret of his own extramarital involvements, Georgiana is not permitted the same liberties. Thus, THE DUCHESS is packed with illicit meetings and tearful partings, as well as a real heartbreaker of a surprise for Georgiana involving a change in her domestic situation.
Those who are familiar with the facts about the real Georgiana -- chronicled in Amanda Foreman's popular biography "Georgiana: Duchess of Devonshire" -- may wish the movie paid more attention to events outside the salon and the boudoir; the screenplay only covers about 10 years of Georgiana's life. The film's limited scope is offset, however, by Fiennes' complex, sometimes even humorous characterization of a nobleman who seems to secretly despise the gilded cage in which he lives and by Knightley's touching portrait of a young woman forced to grow up quickly.
"I fear I've done some things in life too late and others too early," Georgiana tells Gray. Although powdered wigs, towering hats and crushing corsets are things of the past, THE DUCHESS makes a strong argument that emotional confusion never goes out of style.

Approved 4/12/00
March 8, 2000
Harris Hall Main Floor - 1:30 p.m.
Commissioner Peter Sorenson presided with Commissioners Bill Dwyer, Bobby Green, Sr., Anna Morrison and Cindy Weeldreyer present. County Administrator Bill Van Vactor, County Counsel Teresa Wilson and Recording Secretary Melissa Zimmer were also present.
a. FIFTH READING AND CONTINUED PUBLIC HEARING Ordinance 11-99 Amending Chapter 2 of Lane Code to Define Terms for Removal of Fair Board Members (LM 2.300).
Teresa Wilson reported the ordinance adds to the Lane Code definitions for terms that would allow Fair Board members to be removed at some point in the future if there was a need. She added the legislation that was adopted in 1999 permits that to occur, but it first requires the defining of terms.
Green asked if the Board already had authority to do this.
Wilson explained the code dealt with the term "remove" and not reappointing, a mid-term removal of an individual.
Commissioner Sorenson opened the Public Hearing. There being no one signed up to speak, he closed the Public Hearing.
MOTION: to adopt Ordinance 11-99.
Green MOVED, Morrison SECONDED.
a. ORDER 99-12-15-1 Amending Chapter 3 of Lane Manual to Add Provisions to the Memorandum of Understanding Between the Board of Commissioners and the Fair Board for Removal of Fair Board Members and Indemnity, and to Make Housekeeping Changes (LM 3.160).
Wilson reported that in the same piece of legislation that addressed the Fair Board removal, it also provided that the County could enter into an agreement with the Fair Board members regarding indemnity for personnel and contractual matters. She noted the memorandum of understanding (in a revised form handed out with the packet) implements the removal piece and makes minor housekeeping changes. She recommended approval.
MOTION: to approve ORDER 99-12-15-1.
Morrison MOVED, Dwyer SECONDED.
Mike Gleason, Fairgrounds Manager, reported they were going to open bids for the reconstruction of the convention center and there are six major contractors wanting to bid. He added the contractors asked if they could extend it a week so they could get all of the details into the contract. He said they will open it next week for bidding.
Gleason passed out plans of the fairgrounds. He discussed building a ballroom and landscaping. He added that EWEB will be contributing $150,000 to $200,000 for energy retrofitting.
b. FOURTH READING AND DELIBERATION Ordinance PA 1145 Adopting an Update to the Eugene Airport Master Plan, a Refinement Plan of the Eugene-Springfield Metropolitan Area General Plan (Metro Plan); Amending the Metro Plan Diagram to Redesignate Property Consistent with the Airport Master Plan Refinement Plan Diagram; Rezoning City of Eugene Property to Airport Operations Use/Commercial Airport Safety Combining (AO/CAS); Amending the Eugene-Springfield Metropolitan Area Transportation Plan and Public Facilities Plan to Add the Green Hill Road Realignment Project; and Adopting Savings and Severability Clauses.
Mike Copely reported this came before the Board on February 23, at a Third Reading on the proposal. He added the Public Hearing was held on January 19, 2000 with the Eugene and Springfield City Councils. He said there had been no further changes to the proposal since the time the Board last saw it. He recommended adoption of the Ordinance.
MOTION: to approve adoption of Ordinance PA 1145.
Dwyer MOVED, Green SECONDED.
The Board made a presentation to Mike Copely for his 27 years of service to Lane County. Sorenson read the Certificate of Appreciation into the record.
Weeldreyer announced she provided Congressman DeFazio with a briefing on telecommunication issues. Regarding Sky Camp for the Boy Scouts, Weeldreyer wanted it listed under Commissioners Business for next weeks meeting.
Dwyer asked what was intended for the building at the camp.
Al Cooper, Boy Scouts, stated the Scouts have a modest proposal to get support for the 40 acre lot minimum camp size without a proposed building. He noted it is in the current LCDC proposal and he was asking for support to what had been proposed.
Morrison added it was a way of showing support from the community around the designation.
Cooper noted that youth camps have a rightful and desirable place with forest uses because of their educational role.
Sorenson announced that he attended the National Meeting of the Coalition Against Bigger Trucks. He reported that he and David Kelly, Eugene City Councilor, made a presentation at the University of Oregon Law Conference on how to work with local decision makers.
LCDC Goal 14 Issue.
Kent Howe, Land Management, reported that they met with the Board on February 23 and gave an update about the rule making effort that the state is doing regarding the Rural Residential Rule. He noted the Board directed them to participate and monitor the state meetings and to meet with land use attorneys and consultants.
He said that LCDC met on February 29 and they participated in that meeting and on March 1, they met with Lane County Land Watch and explained the proposal to them. He added on March 2 a meeting of the land use attorneys and consultants took place and on March 3, they received the latest draft of the rule dated March 2 from DLCD. He said they met last night with the Lane County Planning Commission and informed them of the status. He added on Friday that LCDC will meet in a public hearing and they have elected not to take action, but continue the hearing until their April 27 and 28 meeting.
Howe stated the lot of record provisions are out, the safe harbor of residential 5 or 10 acres is still in, and is yet to be decided by the commission. He said they have added a floor size of less than 2 acres that would be considered urban. He stated proximity within an urban growth boundary has been eliminated for Lane County. He added within 90 days of adoption, the County will have to apply the standards of this rule.
Jim Mann, Land Management, passed out information to the Board about the proposed rule. He noted the proposed rule would affect lands in Lane County that are zoned rural residential. He said there are 62,000 acres in rural Lane County that are developed and committed, zoned rural residential. He reported 6,000 acres of that is in communities and 56,000 acres is outside the communities. He noted that under the zoning in effect since 1984 (when considering for the potential for land divisions with the five acre density), there is the potential for 225 more parcels of one- and two-acre zoning. He said outside the communities there is the potential for 154 more parcels, with rezoning from ten and five acres to two acres in the areas that are feasible. He added there is the potential for 747 more parcels for rural dwellings. He noted that the safe harbor in the rural areas is being discussed as either five or ten acres. He added if the safe harbor is applied across the board outside the communities, it would eliminate potential rezoning to two acres and parcels that could be created under the one- and two-acre zoning. He said when looking at the minimal parcel size for land division, they have to keep in mind the existing legal lots developed and vacant and there are 15,415 dwellings on rural residential zoned lands and 1,436 vacant tax lots that are potentially legal lots. He noted what had been done since 1984 is that they have emphasized the right to build on a lawfully created parcel and as the rule is being written, any potential to build on a lot of record is not being dealt with in the rule making.
Howe reported the commission meets on Friday and the subcommittee will meet again on March 28. He drafted a letter as an advisory notice to past, current, and future applicants as it relates to the people who may be seeking zone change density increases or partition subdivision applications. He said they will come back to the Board for direction (after LCDC adopts the rule) on how the new rule will affect the Goal 14 work program effort that is being conducted as part of the periodic review.
Weeldreyer asked what the provision would be going from RR5 to RR2.
Howe responded that it could be done on a case-by-case basis, either legislatively to a safe harbor, legislatively to some specific designation less than a safe harbor that is justified; or quasi-judicially on a case-by-case basis to identify designations that would be less than safe harbor. He noted of the three alternatives, staff would be recommending that it is done legislatively either through the safe harbor blanket or by legislatively identifying areas that the Board feels justified in going below whatever the safe harbor is. He added to allow applicants on a case-by-case quasi judicial basis to address this issue will be difficult for individual applications.
Weeldreyer said her concern was going to the legislative parcel size as part of the community rule. She maintained that the Board had wanted flexibility by level of density. She asked how it would work with the unincorporated communities with regard to Goal 14.
Mann responded that it fit differently. He said the proposal that has been developed in the McKenzie Watershed is different. He noted when they went out to define an appropriate parcel size, they looked into the communities, wanting a clear standard for the Board to define. He added they recommended that it be at a five acre density level where there is an existing ten acre zoning inside the communities. He noted the people within the community came together with different recommendations. He said that inside and outside the community, the proposal most citizens supported was to set a minimum parcel size in the comprehensive plan and to get away from defining it on a case-by-case basis.
In response to Morrisons question about notification of people going through the planning process, Howe reported they will go back five years to notify people about the zone change density increases.
Howe noted they would draft a letter for testimony for the Board to submit under the chairs signature to be delivered to the public hearing.
Morrison stated she wanted the Board to be on record with regard to the rule making at the public hearing.
Howe noted that no action will be taken at the public hearing and it would be continued until April.
Sorenson asked Howe to submit a proposed letter to the Board prior to the time that it would be submitted as part of the record.
Green said he was concerned about parcel size being smaller than two acres. He said he had no problem with the safe harbor and would support a draft letter so that this could be moved on.
Weeldreyer asked if a press release could be sent regarding the letter the Board would be sending so more people are aware of the changes.
Howe responded he will work with Mike Moskovitz, Lane County Public Information Officer.
There being no further business, Commissioner Sorenson adjourned the meeting at 2:35 p.m.

We found this mom, JoAnna, on Instagram when she tagged us in her post sharing that she was excited for her son's upcoming 2nd birthday party. We loved the Li'l Farmer Twine Package Kids Birthday Invitation she had picked out and wanted to hear her story and see how the party turned out. I think you will agree with us when you see her fun and crafty kids birthday party ideas! We love it.
"As a crafty mommy and love for all things stationery + paper, this was the best invitation set I could ever imagine," JoAnna shared.
"This was a last minute party planning for me and I searched and searched online and no one had exactly what I was looking for until I saw this farmer set. I jumped right on it for editing and got next business day shipping." JoAnna personalized each of the three pieces in this invitation set and tied it with the twine to send as a nice package to the guests. (Twine is included with this unique three-piece invitation.)
JoAnna carried out the farm theme by also ordering our matching Li'l Farmer Table Decor Kids Birthday Party Decorations to use as food labels.
On the day of the party, Li'l Farmer Jaxon had to, of course, dress the part. JoAnna said she got the clothes at Nordstrom and the boots at ChildrenSalon.com. How handsome is he?!

A masked man fired a gun inside a laundromat on Maple Avenue in Montclair during a holdup today, making it the second robbery at that location in the last few months, authorities said.
A man wearing a ski mask entered Jefferson Laundromat at 84 Maple Avenue about 1 p.m., using a silver-colored handgun to fire one round toward the back of the store, said Lt. James Carlucci, township police department spokesman. There were three customers and one worker inside the store at the time.
The robber fled with a cash register containing approximately $200, Carlucci said. The man headed south on Maple Avenue in a maroon vehicle that may have been a Honda Accord with a dark tinted back window.
"Thankfully, no one was injured," Carlucci said.
The first robbery occurred on Dec. 16 when a man, who used a sweat shirt to cover his face, entered the store, brandished a silver-colored handgun and ordered several customers to lie on the floor. He took an undetermined amount of cash and several packs of cigarettes, fled into a black van parked on Woodland Avenue and headed east, police said.
Anyone with information is asked to contact Detective Terence Turner at (973) 509-4724.
