A state senator is taking the lead in trying to pass legislation that would serve as a crucial step toward solving water supply problems experienced by a neighborhood straddling the Wildomar-Menifee border.
Sen. Richard Roth, D-Riverside, has agreed to carry Senate Bill 772 as his own legislation after its author, Sen. Bill Emmerson, R-Redlands, retired Dec. 1.
Before that, Roth had signed on with Emmerson in support of the bill, which is needed to ensure two major water districts will agree to extend their systems to the neighborhood's approximately 140 households.
"The main thing that Sen. Roth is concerned about is the urgency in resolving a terrible situation for the residents that don't have clean drinking water, and there's also the water pressure issue," said Chuck Daldorf, Roth's chief of staff. "It's a dangerous situation. If there's a fire in that community, somebody's going to have to bring in water to put out the fire."
For years, the neighborhood has been served by a private firm, the County Water Company of Riverside, delivering well water that county health officials say is contaminated with nitrates. More recently, residents complained the system itself has been sporadic.
Households there have relied on bottled water or getting water from a tank that Eastern officials installed in the neighborhood north of Bundy Canyon Road.
Leaders of the Elsinore Valley and Eastern municipal water districts agreed to cooperate in building a system to serve the community as long as the state covers the installation costs and they are protected from lawsuits.
The districts' representatives say they cannot act until the legislation passes, so Roth's decision to ride herd on it is critical, officials said.
Because the bill was introduced this year, it must pass through the Senate by Jan. 31 in the upcoming legislative session in Sacramento for the measure to move forward, Eastern spokesman Kevin Pearson said.
"Otherwise it has to be reintroduced," he said. "That's why everybody is making the effort to expedite this and have it move out of the senate prior to that deadline."
If that happens, the districts could institute a short-term solution for getting water to the community, followed by a long-term project to build permanent infrastructure.
The neighborhood is outside Roth's 31st Senate District, which encompasses Riverside, Corona, Moreno Valley, Norco, Eastvale, Jurupa Valley and Perris.
"This legislation is not just about 140 households," Pearson said. "We are creating a road map that hopefully others in the state who may be in similar situations can use."
STATUS: Awaiting consideration by the California Senate Committee of Governance and Finance
DEADLINE: State Senate passage by Jan. 31
PRINCIPAL BILL LANGUAGE: The Elsinore Valley Municipal Water District and the Eastern Municipal Water District are hereby exempt from liability for any and all injuries or damages arising out of the delivery of water to the County Water Company of Riverside customers, as follows:
(a) Immunity from liability shall exist during the period of operation from the initiation of service by the Elsinore Valley Municipal Water District and the Eastern Municipal Water District upon the connection of a temporary potable service pipeline on or before January 2014, until permanent replacement facilities are accepted by the Elsinore Valley Municipal Water District and the Eastern Municipal Water District.
(b) Immunity from liability shall extend to all future claims associated with portions of the system originally constructed by the County Water Company of Riverside, including, but not limited to, claims arising from personal injury, property damage, liability related to water quality, fire flow, and service interruptions.
(c) Immunity from liability shall extend to all claims by the County Water Company of Riverside's customers arising prior to the Elsinore Valley Municipal Water District's and the Eastern Municipal Water District's ownership and operation of the system.

Management Training Article: Ten Things Employees Want from Their Manager
Management Training Tips:
Ten Things Employees Want from Their Manager
By James A. Baker
Management Training Institute
February 2009
Much has been said and written about the art and science of managing people. People earn degrees in the subject and they compose dissertations about it. Management skills is one of the most often requested corporate training classes we deliver at Baker Communications. However, when you cut through all the theory and opinions, it turns out that being a good manager isnt really rocket science. After all, management is all about helping people succeed. In some ways, it is kind of like the Golden Rule. If you learn to treat people the way you would like to be treated, you are well on your way to being a great manager.
Here are 10 things your team members would like for you to start doing right now that would help them become more satisfied and successful:
1) They want to know what you expect. If they dont know, they will either guess, or decide not to act until they know. Neither of these is a choice you want them to make. Lay out your expectations, both individually and for the whole team.
2) They want you to be reasonable. Your workers want you to set reasonable performance targets, and give them the resources they need to hit those targets.
3) They want to know how theyre doing. Give your workers frequent feedback on their performance and how it compares to your expectations and those of the company.
4) They want to know how to improve. Your feedback should help your team meet the expectations that you set. Remember that offering regular, minor course corrections are almost always better and more effective than fewer, bigger, less frequent corrections.
5) Workers want you to treat them fairly and consistently. Behavior and performance should have consequences. The two should match up. Good behavior and performance should generate positive consequences. Poor behavior or performance should generate negative consequences.
6) They want work that is interesting. For some people, the challenge of doing excellent work is enough. For others, the nature of their job is interesting and challenging in and of itself. However, for most employees, you have to keep things interesting by helping people grow and develop, and by setting up competitions and comparisons that will motivate them to constantly excel.
7) They want work that is meaningful. Take advantage of every opportunity to express appreciation to the people who work for you and emphasize to them how their work helps the team succeed. Also, explain clearly and often how the work of the team helps the company succeed.
8) They want to work in a safe and congenial place. Part of your job as a manager is to protect your employees. Workers want and have a right to be physically safe. They also have a right to be free from harassment or unreasonable demands or punishments.
9) They want you to deal with bad attitudes and anything that contributes to a negative working atmosphere. Youre the boss, so its your responsibility to identify and deal with malcontents and malingerers. Give them the opportunity to mend their ways. If they dont, get rid of them.
10) They want as much control as possible over their work life. Give people as much freedom as possible to make the decisions about how, when, and where theyll work. Employees who feel their opinions are appreciated, and who are given the opportunity to choose how their workload is distributed, are better motivated, more productive and more satisfied.
Most of these items are easy to implement. Theres nothing on the list that requires massive effort or significant budget expenditure.
Most supervisors will do some of these things easily and naturally. The trick is to do them all, day after day, with unremitting diligence. Then you get a cumulative effect. Taken together, these simple acts can transform your team into a group with high morale and excellent productivity. This is good for you, too, and in the end, it will boost the companys bottom line, which is good for everybody.

Adobe announced the release of their first Game Developer Tools in their Adobe Creative Cloud service that will allow developers and publishers to access a powerful set or resources in one location.
"Adobe's Game Developer Tools are designed to streamline the game development process from creation to deployment, and help game publishers and developers reach the broadest possible audience worldwide – over 1.3 billion connected Windows and Mac PCs and over 500 million smartphones and tablets – 20 times the reach of the bestselling Xbox 360 gaming console," Emmy Huang of Adobe wrote in their announcement.
The Game Developer Tools include Adobe Scout, Adobe Gaming SDK, Adobe Flash C++ Compiler, and the Adobe Professional Flash C56.
A lot of developers who got the pre-release are already raving about Adobe Scout which is "an advanced next-generation profiling tool that uncovers granular internal information in ActionScript-based mobile and browser content to unlock significant performance optimization opportunities," which means, the tool helps games run faster.
As for the other tools, the Gaming SDK provides the "essential building blocks developers need to create and monetize amazing ActionScript games across browsers and mobile devices, including open source 2D and 3D frameworks (Starling, Feathers, and Away3D), and is a simple starting point for both new and experienced game developers"; the Flash C++ Compiler "allows game developers to take native games and game engines for PCs, Xbox 360, PlayStation 3, and iOS and compile them to run directly on the web across browsers on over 1.3 billion connected PCs using Adobe Flash Player"; while the Adobe Flash Professional CS6 is an "authoring tool to create engaging animation and games, including support for delivering animated assets ready for use with Starling and many other popular frameworks, and Adobe Flash Builder 4.7 Premium is an advanced ActionScript development environment that can be used to develop high-performance mobile and browser-based games."
The whole point of the new Adobe tools is to streamline game developing so developers won't go insane in making games work for various platforms seamlessly as well as keep the cost of game development down while trying to cater to more gamers from various gaming platforms.
"With these new tools, we've got a single work flow for game developers," Diana Helander, group product marketing manager for Gaming Solutions at Adobe, said in an interview with GamesBeat. "The costs of developing games and acquiring new users are rising. We're helping developers to deal with that."
Adobe Scout will be available for free to Adobe Creative Cloud members.

Home Truths: November-December 1995
By Adele Hulse
I was delighted to read the advice of His Holiness the Dalia Lama to the FPMT in the July/August Mandala: "I also think that if you, as a Buddhist organization, were eventually able to do more in the area of social service, in the fields of education, health and counseling for the resolution of family and community problems, it would be of great benefit. It would not be one as a Buddhist or Dharma activity, but simply to serve and benefit humanity."
This is right up my street, and it is a great pleasure to be able to report to you on the activities of FPMT Australia Ltd., for whom I hold the portfolio of Director-Overseas Aid. We always had little community projects but they tended to be exclusively Dharma oriented, and I felt uncomfortable when my Catholic family would say: "But what do you do for people – how does all this navel-gazing help now? There are real problems out there that are not going to be solved by you sitting on a cushion for hours. The Christians have always helped the community, why don't you?"
I couldn't bear that they could think that Lama Yeshe and Lama Zopa's organization was so self-centered, and it was with this in mind that we started up a Charity Bal in Melbourne, which ran five years. Let me tell you friends, five years of Charity Balls is a killer – I never wanted to go to a party again. But we achieved our goal, which was to publically fund raise for community projects. Over those years these included a water project at Sera Je School, funding for the Sewa Semiti Leprosy Project in Delhi (which eventually failed through lack of management) and local funding for Aboriginal heath and homeless youth projects.
These activities together with the incorporation of FPMT Australia Ltd. cleared the way for us to be granted NGO (non-governmental organization) status with the Australian government's Department of Foreign Affairs' Overseas Aid arm, Aus-Aid. They would now match funds raised with a dollar for a dollar.
For the last eleven years FPMT Australia Ltd. Has acted as an umbrella group for smaller active fund raising groups in Australia: they hold the dinners, raffles and so on, the Tibetan Department of Health in Dharamsala gives us a list of projects that need funding, they select which one appeals to them, I write the submission and present it to Aus-Aid, the checks come in and are sent off, the project is realized, the Department of Health sends me a report, which I present to Aus-Aid for acquittal – and that's how it's done.
Our work so far has all been through the Tibetan Department of Heath. We have built a health clinic in Mainpat Settlement in Madhya Pradesh, installed seven water bores and pumps in the same settlement, built toilets and septic tanks at the Jampaling Tibetan Settlement outside Pokhara, Nepal, and are currently preparing a submission for the first ever Eye Camp in Ladakh, using the famous Australian Fred Hollows Eye Team in Nepal.
The whole thing has been extremely successful and has saved and improved many hundreds of lives. My part of the work is not so difficult – one simply has to learn the bureaucratic language necessary to present submissions and to stay on the job, making sure all the paperwork is ready on time and in good order. The actual fund raising of course requires much more energy.
It has been an incredible privilege to work on these projects on behalf of FPMT Australia, and I am sure this sort of thing could be copied in other countries. Nearly every Western country has an overseas aid budget for NGOs, the most generous being Holland and Canada.
I would be very happy to hear of any other such projects happening in the name of FPMT around the world as there are sure to be opportunities for collaboration. It is always a great pleasure to be able to tell members of the public that we do this work, and their reaction is – "Well, so you should!" I couldn't agree more.

Citation: HELLMICH II, R.L., PLEASANTS, J.M. MONARCH BUTTERFLIES AND BT CORN POLLEN: PHENOLOGY AND MOVEMENT CONSIDERATIONS. BIOMETEOROLOGY INTERNATIONAL CONGRESS PROCEEDINGS. 2002. P. 244-246. Interpretive Summary:
Technical Abstract: Proven methods of risk assessment were used by a consortium of scientists to investigate the potential impact of Bt corn pollen on the monarch butterfly. Toxicity of Bt corn pollen and larval exposure to harmful levels of pollen were investigated. Research indicates that the potential risk to monarch butterfly populations from Bt corn pollen is negligible. Toxicity of Bt corn pollen (except pollen from event 176 corn) is low and exposure of monarch larvae to Bt corn pollen also is low. Laboratory and field studies show no acute toxic effects at any pollen density that would be encountered in the field. Other factors mitigating exposure of larvae include the variable and limited overlap between pollen shed and larval activity periods. The approach taken by the consortium has been cited as a model for evaluating potential environmental impacts of transgenic plants.

Transcript of Tom Brady on D&C: Most proud of starting all 16 weeks
|01.03.12 at 10:31 am ET
Patriots quarterback Tom Brady joined Dennis & Callahan Tuesday morning, following his 338-yard, three-touchdown passing performance in Sunday's 49-21 comeback victory over the Bills.
Brady finished the season with 5,235 passing yards, second most in NFL history to Drew Brees' 5,486. But he said the individual statistic he's most proud of this season is his durability.
"I'm happy I was out there to start 16 weeks," he said. "I think that's what I'm probably most proud of, that I was able to be there for my teammates and come out every week and start the game. To be durable and to try to be a consistent player on our team, that's probably what I'm most proud of."
While the Patriots are headed to the playoffs, the Jets are heading on vacation following Sunday's season-ending loss to the Dolphins. Brady was asked if he is enjoying the demise of his nemesis from New York.
"Yeah, there's a few websites I like where they have all the New York papers. I read a few of those articles. I would be remiss not to," he said. "They had a tough year. I'm glad we beat them twice. That was a huge key to our season, that win against the Jets in the Meadowlands. We'll see them next year. They're not going anywhere. I'm sure they'll come back with just as much confidence next year."
Following is a transcript of the conversation. To hear the interview, go to the Dennis & Callahan audio on demand page.
Are you and your teammates concerned that slow starts could be a fatal flaw in the playoffs?
We're always trying to play better. I think we come out of every game saying there's things we didn't do so well and there's things we have to do better. I don't think what's in our mind is, "We're going to lose, we're going to lose, we're going to lose." You don't think about that. You think you're going to win. You think you're going to pull the game out. You have confidence that if you play for four quarters and you play hard and you make more plays than the other team, then at the end of the 60 minutes you're going to win the game. Believe me, we all wish we were up 21-0 instead of down 21-0. But if we're down 21-0 we still have confidence that we can come back and win the game.
You said in the postgame that the reason you fell behind was because we as a team weren't executing. Why not executing? Why did the team not appear to be ready to play at kickoff?
I don't know. I don't know. We just didn't make the plays. We'll go in there today, we'll watch the film and we'll try and make corrections. We'll try to go out there and do a better job next week.
Is it a physical thing, like a 1 o'clock game is too early, guys aren't physically ready? Could it be as simple as that?
I would hope not. I don't think anyone can put a finger on exactly what it is. But we've won eight straight, we feel very good about that. We continue to make improvements. We've certainly showed that we can score points. And when we get a lead on teams, we don't usually give that up. There's been a lot of positives to take from the last eight weeks.
The last two times you got bounced in the playoffs at home. Do you know what happened? Does it make sense what happened in those two games, and do you see it easily corrected?
They're two totally different teams in two totally different years against two totally different opponents that really has no impact on this next week's game. It's a completely different team that we have and probably the team that we'll face. To me, it's very pointless to talk about something that happened a year ago, like it's going to have any impact on what's going to happen in two weeks. Because it really won't.
If you have to narrow it down, if you're going to pick a championship football team, is it one of two things: Defense wins championships, or great quarterbacks win championships? What's more important?
It depends on the game. It depends on the team. There's not one thing. There's certainly been great defenses that have won. There's been great quarterbacks that have won. There's been teams with both of those that have won and lost. You've got to be able to make critical plays on defense when you need to. You've got to be able to score points in critical situations on offense. It's about complementing each other and taking advantage of opportunities that you may get on either side of the ball. If the offense gets a short field, you've got to be able to take advantage of that and get the ball in the end zone.
Can a team win a Super Bowl without excellent play by the quarterback?
It all depends how the team plays. The quarterback is an important position because you're touching the ball on every play, and your decisions impact the whole team because you have the ball. The quarterback has to play well. There's times that the quarterback doesn't play well and they still win. There's games where I haven't played my best game but we still won. It ends up coming down to scoring more points than the other team, and there's no formula to that, other than who plays better on that particular day. If you win 45-42, does it really matter? Or if you win 7-3? You're just trying to score more points and advance to the next round.
Were you happy when you guys got [Rob] Gronkowski that record? Was that kind of a team-unifying thing that you guys all felt good about at the end?
I didn't know about it standing on the sidelines. I don't know who knew about it. Someone must have known, but I wasn't aware of it. I'm not really sure where that came from.
Are you upset that [Brian] Hoyer has a higher rating than you?
[Laughing] Certainly not. He's a hell of a player. He's got a great future. He's been great to play with. He's a great person and friend and teammate. It's always fun to see him go in there and do well.
That first-quarter sack where you lost 11, you landed on your left shoulder rather violently. On the way down did you think, "Oh, this isn't good," and did it do any damage?
No, I didn't think about it at all. I don't think out that when I'm out there. You just try to play through sacks and hits, and some feel better than others. I've played a lot of football games now, and there's only one serious injury that took me out of a game. Hopefully, I don't have any of those in the near future.
Did we see some new plays this week?
Yeah, you're always finding ways to put some new little tweaks in your offense, new little dimensions. We've definitely done that. You have to try to show some new things every week. Really, your core of your offense is what it is, and people have seen that now for 16 weeks. So, you try to find a few things to keep them off balance.
What play pleased you the most? Was it the [Aaron] Hernandez short catch and long run, the BenJarvus Green-Ellis screen pass, or something else?
We had a lot of good plays where there was really solid execution. Those are the good ones. The screens were great. Anytime Aaron gets the ball in his hands his ability to catch and run with it is really second to none. Gronk had some big plays. We ran the ball well at times. There were some really good plays when we needed to. We didn't start it as well as we would have liked, but we pretty much scored on every possession after that
Did you watch any of Andrew Luck last night?
I didn't, no.
When you see a college quarterback, do you look at it differently than we do? He looks like a sure thing. Are we wrong to look at a guy like that who's got all the tools and say he's going to be a really good NFL quarterback?
I think it's hard to really say anybody's a sure thing. I think that's just been proven too many times where guys aren't really sure things. I think it's hard, from my own perspective, when I see good college players, or guys that come in and have plenty of ability — first-round picks, second-round picks, third-round picks — where they just don't end up living up to the expectations maybe that they have for themselves or that other people may have for them.
It's a different game. The college game translates very differently to the pro game. It's probably pretty hard to evaluate college talent, because it's very different than the pro game. Really, it takes a player to come in, and they have to be in the right situation to succeed, and then their own work ethic and opportunity and taking advantage of the situations that are presented to them. I would say it's very tough to say, "Man, this guy, for sure, he's going to be a great player."
What's the single biggest obstacle a college quarterback has to make when he comes into the pros? Is it speed or complexity of the game?
It's everything. The game is just different. In college, if you hand the ball off — when I was at Michigan, if you handed the ball off, you were going to gain yards. In the pros, if you hand it off into a bad look, you're going to lose four yards. In college, I'd sit back, I'd drop back and I'd have all the time in the world to make decisions because I had a very good offensive line. Well, in the pros, you don't have that. If you have a very good offensive line and they have a very good defensive line, you're going to have to get rid of the ball quickly. It's just all those things that you have to re-train yourself through hours and hours of preparation. You have to go through those kind of learning — you have to learn from your mistakes and hopefully not repeat them.
He wasn't yelling at you this time on the sideline, but do you have any idea what Billy O'Brien was pissed at? It was after a made field goal.
Probably just our lack of execution. I think it's frustrating for everybody when we don't get the ball in the end zone when we need to get it in the end zone. When we're not playing the way that our coaches expect us, they usually let us know about it.
After Benny's great screen that gained 53, you got pissed after what you thought I guess was a holding call on Hernandez? You could hear you kind of hacked off. Is that what you thought you saw?
Yeah, yeah. I thought the guy twisted Aaron around and grabbed his jersey and the ref didn't see it. That always kind of pisses me off.
Do they answer you when you go up to an official and say something like that, or do they just keep their mouth shut?
I don't know. He said something. I'm usually talking, so I don't hear it. I'm getting as many swear words out as I can.
You may lose your offensive coordinator. He's rumored to be going everywhere — college, pros, everywhere. Will that be a tough transition, to break in another guy next year?
I haven't thought about it. I really don't know what the situation is with Billy. He's been a great coach and a friend of mine. I don't think anyone really knows what's going to happen. I hope he's here for a long time, but everyone gets different opportunities. No one really knows how those opportunities, what will really pan out.
Did you enjoy the demise of the Jets?
Yeah, there's a few websites I like where they have all the New York papers. I read a few of those articles. I would be remiss not to.
They had a tough year. I'm glad we beat them twice. That was a huge key to our season, that win against the Jets in the Meadowlands. We'll see them next year. They're not going anywhere. I'm sure they'll come back with just as much confidence next year.
Did you agree with the official's call that said you were driven to the ground on the interception return.
Probably not. Probably not. I didn't even know they threw a flag. I was already on the sideline. I was pretty pissed at that point.
You did a pretty good acting job, though.
Yeah, it doesn't take much for me to go down.
Do you think you get more calls than the average bear?
No, I haven't gotten any calls all year. That was maybe my first call all year. I don't think I've gotten any roughing or any of that. I know, it's funny, because people say that. I don't get any calls.
Don't all quarterback get calls?
Yeah, I know. It's part of the position. Receivers get calls, DBs get calls. But when a quarterback gets calls, there's some big issue with it. Everyone's bitching about quarterbacks getting calls. There's linemen that hold and don't get called. There's D-linemen that hold and don't get called. It's part of the game.
Do you sit down on a bye week and watch all the games like we do? Or do you wait until they're over and get your videotape and watch what you have to watch?
I'll get a jump on all the opponents. That's what I'll probably watch. I'll probably watch as many of the teams that are in the playoffs as I can watch, just on my home computer. Just because next week we're playing on a Saturday, so if the game doesn't get decided until Sunday, you're on a six-day week and you've got to be ahead. I'm going to try to get a jump on everybody this week.
Is there one individual thing you did that you're particularly proud of — one record, anything you look back on in the regular season that meant a lot to you?
Yeah, I'm happy I was out there to start 16 weeks. I think that's what I'm probably most proud of, that I was able to be there for my teammates and come out every week and start the game. To be durable and to try to be a consistent player on our team, that's probably what I'm most proud of.
What's the best thing you got from Santa at Christmas, and what's the best thing the boys got?
The boys, what'd they get? They got …
Yeah, Uggs. All my linemen got all that. Half my locker room got Uggs this year.
How does that happen? Do you take their sizes or just give them a card and they go exchange the card for Uggs?
I just ordered as many big sizes as they had in stock: 12s, 14s, 16s and 18s.
You are the most effective spokesman. Now, because of Brady, you look at them and say they're not so bad [for men].
They're great. The boots are awesome. Especially this time of year. We were out there walking yesterday, took our son for a walk, and I had my Uggs on. It was cold out, but my feet weren't cold.
So, what did the boys get, like a Maybach or something?
My other son got a Lego set, which he loves. He loves Legos. And then my youngest son, he just liked opening up the [gifts]. The wrapping paper was probably his favorite. And anything his brother was holding is what he wanted.
And anything stands out in your mind from Santa?
My wife just got me a picture of my boys. That was what I wanted. That was all I needed.
Not to mention a first-round bye and home-field advantage.
Yeah, that's perfect. That's what my teammates got me. I'm excited about that.
On "Two and a Half Men" they mentioned your wife's name. Did you know that?
I didn't know that, no. I haven't seen that show. We watched the season finale of "Dexter" yesterday.

Editor's note: This column originally appeared on inc.com.
Do you run a business? Then don't take a vacation. I mean it. Don't.
Of course, I don't mean not to take some time off. You definitely should. You need to make sure you're getting out of the office. You need a breather. You have to re-charge. It's important that you spend the time with your family. You'll remember those times much more than the times you spent in the office. So go to the Caribbean. Take that cruise. Visit Europe. Knock yourself out. Just don't call it a vacation.
You're just not ready.
That's because most business owners, particularly small business owners like...

If there is one racing industry topic we should all be discussing, and sharing our best strategies, it is email marketing. Back in the primitive days before the internet, PRI magazine editorial profiles of the best racing retailers always contained a few paragraphs on their practices of collecting postal addresses for prospects and customers. It was no coincidence that the best collectors of customer contact information were also the best retailers of racing products. Technology has progressed, and now the email address is the marketing gold once represented by postal addresses.
Last year, the PRI Trade Show moved to a new registration process where we asked for an individual email address for every registrant. We promised to...

* Service Matters: Forty years ago, two brothers from Statesville, North Carolina, decided to build a drag car. Their car proved road-worthy, as one might assume, and the pair subsequently became fixtures on the local drag strip. Their hobby soon morphed into a business, however, when word spread through the pits—and beyond—that Steve and Mike Heintz always had a cache of replacement parts on hand in case of breakage. As racers came calling, the business grew from a garage-based operation into what is today one of the area's best known speed shops.
Since 1994, Heintz Performance has occupied a spot of prime real estate in the shadow of Charlotte Motor Speedway. And its...

Doc Rivers with Sean Grande before the game
Transcript - Not for consumer use. Robot overlords only. Will not be accurate.
Celtics are presented by Lexus continues from the garden. Like just yesterday we were all together another part of the country it was yesterday but tonight it's itself which it ought to find your conversation. With the head coach -- are brought to you by Harvard Pilgrim Health Care making health care. Work better let's start -- last night no -- news of the night which is surprisingly good -- credibility however with me is baiting because lastly he told me. The one thing you cannot do against Miami in Miami has turned the ball. What happens that. Well here and actually if what would -- the point that would lead author of over his score you know that the made themselves. My relatives -- -- succeed. -- you know when today spent most of there are. The review of the day because we kept. Although. To win a championship you have to be able in the game like that be able to take a punch with that you're -- this year taking punches and just continuing to plow forward there it really was because of a lot of home. You think about the start of the yeah they're gonna come out. And just try to -- miracle if they did that and we -- started. You know when you know kind of brought does that lead and they just kept coming back that -- did well. To greet their important. All right here's. That a million dollar question -- -- -- worth a lot more than that Macs and I've been pondering it for weeks and we don't know how he did how did you change the chip in Kevin's head. About looking to pass. -- we have never seen him so. Diligently looking at the basket when he does well I don't know how or why but we just wanted to there it's a great it really. The credit is still present that time when. You want in this group but he's so aggressive but right time. You almost -- when you -- and it's great. Our job or I guess my job usually in this case is keep track of all these crazy milestones as you move through your five of the Celtics Irwin your interest obviously is playing this game against Atlanta but tonight. You'll have. Three of the top 25 scores now in NBA history to you at once last year window -- got there yet Jack and -- even April but this is. And it do you ever is there ever five minutes to sit back and go while these are some of the best players ever to play in the all in this one block. But this one I really don't you know from there hopefully earth no you know I appreciate it I just appreciate it more. You know it's humans as far as coach -- god the team of players. In the milestone stuff -- motive but. I understand why they have the milestones are better from coach. All right -- back to backs -- -- -- nine nights for five all the craziness. Or a minute wait. In specific game as a potential -- of fatigue. Over emphasized by all of us compared to things like you know getting days often not practicing in travel we just look at got to play just got it 42 minutes and thirty -- Yeah that's overblown at times you know. I think what you played you played your going to be tired in that -- -- usually twenty minutes 35 minutes I don't know what really matters when your body. I can get the day evolved and stuff like that is far more important. All right it is that you Atlanta Hawks coming tonight you if you win this game tonight you movement of the fourth position not by -- her by division league but they actually have the fourth best record. I suppose the same thing would apply to chasing down the stretch avoiding top teams in the first round of the playoffs getting home court. -- -- down the stretch you would want home court but you're not because you're self again. That's -- I mean we would love to have. These stories. You know we would've thought about this for weeks ago and now we are having said that we still understand. And we have to be healthy and we're healthy we -- among world report. The Atlanta Hawks doing in here you saw them once before in the month of march it was a an interesting night. With this crazy year in which there's no time going to do anything. When you play it seem like this you're -- Orlando next week. You have behind me mentally to say this team we might be seeing in the first round. Yeah I have time and they nominees say it but I don't really think. They have enough time the actual think about it you know confident. That this would promote -- which is that the focus during the game removal from there. All right record your thoughts you know Max has sent its top sort of surprising turn the availability of Mikhail -- a lot sooner than we thought. And we're trying to -- our brains for starter was last time you got surprisingly good news is supposed to surprisingly bad news. And they met this year than zero so. If it's just an American feel much but the fact that we have clearance to -- Is something obviously I'm surprised that he got at all this year. Totally out here. -- not the place anymore this year and the -- and that's that's the big deal. Great note on which stands it is the Celtics and hawks and other big game of the garden that's next. On -- WEEI Celtics radio network.

When the news of the 3DS remake made its way to my inbox I had to get my hands on it. I'm always up for a quick trip to my childhood, especially with gems I know I missed.
Thanks to the fine folks over at Atlus I was able to obtain an early digital copy of Devil Summoner: Soul Hackers, and I have to say in all honesty, it's a truly fantastic role-playing game.
You play as a citizen in Amami City, which is set in the future. Every household has a computer connected to the internet, a virtual world called 'Paradigm X' on the horizon, and of course the inevitable eye of Big Brother always watching.
As you can imagine things go south from here, and before you realize what has happened you're in a demon-filled world, fighting for your life alongside your hacker group, the Spookies.
One of the first things that caught my eye was the method of travel. Rather than walking around a 3d world, you're restricted to a first-person view where you travel along a grid (shown on the bottom 3DS screen). In typical JRPG fashion you encounter random enemies, only this time there's a slight twist - you can convince them to join your team.
No, you don't capture them (ie Pokemon). You strike up a conversation during your battle and have to answer their questions correctly if you want them on your team. For example, a demon might ask you "What fun to destroy?", in which you can respond with "Buildings", "The social order", "Nature", or "I'd rather create".
They sure are stubborn when they're young aren't they.
There is of course 'demon fusion', as this is a Shin Megami Tensei game after all. It really never grows tiresome joining together two demons to make something completely new (and hopefully completely awesome). Being that demons don't level up, this is really the only way to make them stronger, so start experimenting early.
It also helps that these demons are new to the 3DS version, so even fans of the 1997 release will have something to look forward to.
Devil Summoner: Soul Hackers is a truly incredible role-playing game, especially being that it's now sixteen years old. It was far ahead of its time in '97, which is now evident by how well it has held up. Just keep in mind that being a MegaTen game it can prove difficult. Which, to be honest, is a true role-playing gamers fantasy.
If you're a fan of the MegaTen games this is a must buy.

My son will turn 3 tomorrow, July 20, 2012. For the past 2 years, I've been designing the invitation cards to his party and was always searching the Net for nice and simple birthday poems.
It looks like 3rd Birthday Party Poems are scarce, I was having a hard time searching for poems very similar to the 1st and 2nd Birthday Party Poems (these poems have 4 rhyming lines by the way). I guess 3rd birthday parties are not that important, no?
In despair, I decided to write my own 3rd Birthday Party Poem.
Here it is:
One plus two, how old am I?
I can count, I can argue, I can ask why.
I'll rock this world, you will see.
You got that right, I'm turning THREE!!!
I patterned the poem from the poems I got from the Internet. For reference, here are the 1st and 2nd Birthday Party Poems I borrowed/copied from the Internet:
I learned to laugh and squeal, then sit and stand,
and I can walk now if you hold my hand.
But the fun has only just begun,
lookout world, I'm turning ONE!!!
Two years gone by, how time has flown,
You won't believe how much I've grown!
I'm so much fun and witty too,
Yeah baby, I'm turning TWO!!!

Real Estate Law Center Scam Alert! Los angeles California
Does your business have a bad reputation?
Fix it the right way.
Corporate Advocacy Program™
I hired the real estate law center to modify my loan. I was sold very hard to hire Chad Pratt as my attorney. I was promised a principal reduction and a 2% interest rate reduction on my loan. I have never once spoke to "my attorney". i don't even know who my attorney is. I don't understand why pinnacle law center gets 80% of my money and real estate law firm gets 20%. Every time i ask to speak to Chad Pratt, some idiot at the "law firm" tells me that he is too busy and can't talk to me but that they can answer my questions. I already paid them $2,000. But i guess, 20% of this is not enough for Chad. I don't understand what kind of attorney doesn't talk to their clients. He's not too busy to get take $2,000 but he's to busy to talk to a client whose concerned about their home! In fact, I have not spoken to any attorney. I was current before i join the mass lawsuit. But i couldn't pay them and my mortgage. I was told that if i paid them, I would not need to pay my mortgage. Now i'm getting calls from my bank and no one at the "firm" has helped me. I didn't even know that this was what i was signing up for. i was being told that i would be in a lawsuit that would be filed "soon". it's been months and nothing has happened. i even asked for some proof that the mass lawsuits were succesful. no one replied back to me. This place is such a scam! keep your money and pay your mortgage. Don't hire these idiot becuase all they will do is take money from you and give you the run around.

Few Questions
SUBMITTED: Tuesday, August 06, 2013POSTED: Tuesday, August 06, 2013
I would like to add few things, since i'm familiar with few things about this company. Maybe Sebastian can answer my questions, since he acts as a spokesperson for RELC. Why does Deepak Parwatikar act like he has nothing to do with RELC? You guys, or your sales agents always mention Chad Pratt's as RELC's attorney with clean record, 0 copmlains, etc. Let me ask you this, how many times did Chad Pratt visirt the office on Vermont within a year?
Does he even know all the employees that work there? The answer is NO. The fact is Deepak Parwatikar is the owner of RELC. The fact is that Deepak along with John Gearies does the hiring interviews. Deepak hires and fires the employees of RELC. Why isn't Deepak ever mentioned in the list of attorneys in your website, BBB or anywhere else. The only reason nobody mentions Deepak is because he does not have the perfect record on state bar.
As the matter of fact Deepak's attorney license was suspended for 3 years because he stole the names of the clients at the place he used to work for. That's why when the sales agents try to close their deals and talk about RELC's attorney they only mention Chad Pratt and his perfect clear history because that'a big selling point for them. But the fact is Deepak has a LOT to do with RELC, it's just nobody mentions him not to ruin your reputation. Deepak controls RELC, but under the covers.
John Gearies (the manager of RELC) has to get an approval for almost everything that has to do with RELC from Deepak. They pretend that Deepak doesn't exist and Chad is the main guy, which is not true. I'm not saying that Chad doesn't go to courts, he does. But why would a company cover up the facts about Deepak and pretend that he does not have anything to do with RELC? My opinion about Deepak is, he is a selfish, rude little guy who thinks he rules the world.
Are you an owner, employee or ex-employee with either negative or positive information about the company or individual, or can you provide "insider information" on this company?
#2 UPDATE Employee ..inside information
Do Not Trust The Lies
SUBMITTED: Sunday, June 16, 2013POSTED: Sunday, June 16, 2013
Everything you read negative here is true. You should never sign up with a law firm over the phone. You should know that RELC promises "payment stabilization" but it really a loan modification. Ask for the FDD package. It is a loan modification application. Ask them point blank. They are not truthful. It can take months upon months to speak to an attorney, if you are ever given the opportunity to speak with one at all. They are simply sales agents promising you low interest rates, balance reductions and monetary damages *but will never tell you how many clients total got monetary damages.
Ask: how are sales agents paid? It's based on how many clients they sell. They are paid commission. If they say they aren't, don't sign up.
Ask: did Chad Pratt win a home "free and clear" as part of the Real Estate Law Center? or on his own. It was not part of the RELC. And while it sounds nice, what good does that mean for you? It isn't true that there aren't any bar complaints, what is true is that there aren't any that are PUBLISHED. Call the bar and ask them if they have received any for RELC.
Ask how often you'll be able to speak to an attorney. The answer is hardly if ever at all. And, not the "compliance attorney" because that person isn't handling cases, just asking questions.
Ask why they say you can't get a refund. Ask how long it will be before a case will be resolved. There is no case that will be resolved in "6 months to a year." That is not true. If it were, then why are NONE of their cases resolved yet? Doesn't that seem strange?
Look at the retainer. Ask why most of your money is given to Pinnacle. Ask why you can't be given hard numbers of clients whose homes have been sold, not vagues answers. Ask what % of homes have been saved with the promised resolution?
Ask how many clients ask for their money back. Do not trust Sebastian. He works for them and is paid based on signing up people. He knows full well that clients go for months without talking to an attorney. Strange for a law firm with a great reputation that you can't speak to an attorney who is going to court and handling cases. IF you do speak to an attorney, ask whether he or she goes to court. Ask how many cases he or she has.
Do not buy a federal regulatory complaint from them! They are trash. They will not help you in any way shape or form. If they did, then ask of the perecentage of the filed, how many people have been helped by them. They can't say because they don't keep track. Ask Sebastian. How many total filed and what is the breakdown of results? How many people get money as a result of an FRC, how many people get their mortgages lowered? How many get the interest rate lowered?
Ask for cold hard numbers. Sebastian put his number there, call him and ask him these questions. He should be able to provide answers. Ask what happens if you are behind on your mortgage and RELC provides foreclosure defense (filing a loan modification [they call it payment stabilization]) and it falls through. Then what?
Do not trust anyone you talk to on the phone. Do not proceed any further if they cannot answer each question with specifics. Cases are public filings, ask them for each public filed case and verify the results yourself on the LA Superior Court website before proceeding. This is your money and they are happy to take it from you and provide you with little results.
Look beyond the hype and promises. Demand from the sales agents to know how many cases they reject (almost none because they want money from everyone! Don't listen to talk about their "compliance department" it's not real). REmember these are sales agents who will say anything because their pay is based on it. Ask them point blank if they are sales agents. Ask them if Chad Pratt John Gearies and Deepak Parwatikar Bar #187683 refer to the sales people as sales agents. If they deny it, ask them again. And report them to the bar.
Ask them how many people they sign up each month and how it makes sense to sign up over a hundred new clients with only 3 attorneys who go to court. How does that math add up?
Do not listen to their lies. Do not listen to their lies. Ask Sebastian how many actual attorneys go to court and what their case load is. It's atrocious which is part of why clients don't hear from attorneys.
It's best not to sign up period because once they get your money, they feel entitled to it. So if you have any doubts or insecurities, staty away. You'll be glad you did.
If you are out of state (not in California or even LA) do not get involved with them. It is never a good idea to sign up with an out of state law firm that has you sign up over the phone. Don't do it.
Are you an owner, employee or ex-employee with either negative or positive information about the company or individual, or can you provide "insider information" on this company?
#3 REBUTTAL Owner of company
Let's look at this, shall we?
SUBMITTED: Thursday, June 13, 2013POSTED: Thursday, June 13, 2013
First of all, WE DO NOT PROCESS MODIFICATIONS, therefore I challange the ligitimacy of this report on that basis alone!
But let's assume that you indeed have retained our firm, possibly to be ammended into an existing mass tort law suit with the goal of obtaining a principal and interest reduction (once again, litigation - not modification!)
You specify that you haven't met our attorney after months of retaining our firm with... $2,000?
Your cost to retain our firm to be part of a lawsuit is a minimum of $5,000, which means that you where afforded a generous payment plan which you have obviously defaulted on since, acording to your statement, months have gone by and the ammount you invested was the same.
Secondly, Mr. Chad Pratt is the head litigating attorney, which denotes that his job is to be in court doing just that: litigate. RELC holds a team of attorneys, each designated to a very specific task - putting cases together, writing up complaints, managing existing case load, etc. In order for you to retain our firm, it is by rule that you had to have spoken to AT LEAST one attorney, or otherwise, by law, you could not have retained us AT ALL.
Once again, the above assertions lead to two distinct possibilities: you are either NOT one of our clients OR you are clearly not at all familiar with how this process works.
For the sake of clarity, I would like to set the record straight:
Give me a call IMMEDIATELY at 888-988-7117 and if indeed you are a client I will help you with whatever issue you might be experiencing. Keep this number for future reference as well.

Dromana's new aim to tempt Brits
Page Tools
Dromana Estate will take its wines to Britain by the alternative route.
Photo: Jessica Shapiro
After providing local restaurateurs with options to boost its sales and get itself into the black, wine group Dromana Estate is now embarking on another unorthodox strategy, this time to increase exports to Britain.
Dromana Estate plans to list on the London Stock Exchange's Alternative Investment Market in December with a view to selling its wines to investors.
Dromana Estate chairman Richard Green said: "We think the UK listing will raise our profile there.
"On our figures, 200 shareholders could well produce $1 million in annual sales."
He said the group also planned to use the listing as a springboard for extending its unusual option-based sales scheme to restaurants in London from next February.
According to Mr Green, the scheme was a contributor to the steep increase in the group's share price over the past four months, climbing from 16 ¢ in June to close unchanged yesterday at 35 ¢.
He said 140 restaurants around Australia had now signed up to the Dromana Estate Loyalty Program which delivers proprietors one option for every dollar they spend buying the wine to serve with meals.
To qualify, they would need to purchase a minimum of $500 worth of wine a month.

Last Friday, Apple filed a motion to hold off two of their lawsuits with Motorola Mobility until Google's acquisition of Motorola is finalized. Apple stated that MMI currently lacks standing since the Google acquisition is still pending. According to Apple, MMI lost their rights to their patents when they agreed on the merger with Google and that if the case goes on trial and Apple wins, Google would likely file a counter lawsuit thus the need to repeat the whole process. Also, as MMI is pending to be a part of Google, they cannot sue for infringement lawsuits without the consent of Google and Apple does not want to waste their resources settling a lawsuit filed by someone with no standing.
Apple based their claims on the publicly-filed Merger Agreement between MMI and Google.
"To further its pending acquisition by Google, Motorola has surrendered critical rights in the patents-in-suit, such that Motorola no longer has prudential standing to pursue this action. According to the publicly-filed Merger Agreement, Motorola has ceded control of the most basic rights regarding the patents-in-suit. Absent Google's consent, Motorola cannot: (1) sue for infringement of its patents in any new action; (2) settle pending litigation (including this case) that would require a license to any of its patents; (3) license or sublicense its patents except in limited circumstances relating to the sale of Motorola's products; (4) assign its rights in its patents; and/or (5) grant a covenant not to sue for infringement of its patents."
Apple states that Google's acquisition of MMI is "one of the most significant transactions in the technology industry" as MMI patents will "protect" Android. Since the merger hasn't been finalized, Google can't actually tell MMI what to do in their current case with Apple. Also, Apple stated that Google cannot join MMI in the lawsuit to help them win as Google has no right over MMI patents.
"Google itself lacks standing under Article III of the Constitution to enforce the patents-in-suit. Google has no ownership interest in the patents. Google has no right to license, assign, or encumber the patents, and no right even to practice the patents, much less an exclusive right. Accordingly, Google is not injured if another party infringes the patents. Google only has the right to veto actions taken by Motorola with respect to the patents. On these facts, Google lacks constitutional standing to enforce the patents-in-suit and cannot be joined as a party to this action due to a lack of subject matter jurisdiction."
The Google-Motorola merger is set to close late this year or early 2012 or mid 2012 or never? Since the deal is still being reviewed, it could possibly face obstacles such as the AT&T-T-Mobile merger is being blocked.

Learn How To Get Board Certified
Just as an ocean wave takes shape, crests and crashes after a wild winter storm, somewhere there's a driven individual sanding and feeling the raw materials that will become the board upon which that wave is surfed. In The Art of Surfboard Shaping, Scott Anderson offers a rare glimpse into the world of board making. He's not so much secretive as he is incredibly busy making these majestic, kinetic sculptures. Starting his craft in his backyard in 1988, Anderson now operates Anderson Surfboards in Marina del Rey, and, 20,000 surfboards later, he's a master of the sorcery that goes into designing and repairing a custom board. It's tempting to just look at end result and forget the process that comes with making a surfboard for the individual. But it's true: All wipeouts are not created equal.

PHC Stroke Support Network
Dear Editor,
Kudos to the TBI Stroke Support Group of the Peninsula Hospital Center and Peninsula Center for Extended Care and Rehabilitation.
Having been a stroke patient at this wonderful hospital and a stroke survivor myself, I was so elated when I was selected to be one of the speakers at the new Stroke Support Group on September 25. As they say, "Who better than the sufferer to know the pain of arthritis." - only a stroke survivor can tell you the horror you feel as you begin the journey after a stroke - it is a life-long journey and sometimes, a lonely one.
The Stroke Support Group reaches out to the lonely ones out there who have suffered a stroke and the worried ones who take care of them. Together with the medical care providers, this group of supporters helps to make this lonely and uncertain journey as comfortable and free from worry as possible. I am not embarrassed to say that the number of people who turned out was impressive. All of a sudden, I felt loved, happy and secure in the midst of people I could share experiences with, look to for advice and learn a thing or two from them as to how to take care of myself.
The Stroke Support Group, amongst other things, helps me realize that there are others like me every day - looking for others of the same kind to be with. I am proud to be a member of the stroke support group. I hope others will know the joy of coming to this group.
You are welcome — Stroke Survivors, Caregivers and Physicians, this is from me — I AM A SURVIVOR I may not be able to run or jump BUT, I CAN MOVE. I may not be able to speak or sing like you might want me to BUT, I CAN STILL TALK I may not be able to lift a chair or table BUT I CAN STILL FEEL I may not have the strength to break a chicken bone BUT I CAN STILL TASTE I may not be able to run the mile with you or dance the stage BUT I HAVE COMPANY- FRIENDS AND RELATIVES AND YOU, and that makes me feel good. I may not be able to live the life I used to live, BUT I AM ALIVE. I may have had a stroke BUT THE STOKE DID NOT HAVE ME. I AM A STROKE SURVIVOR - I AM A SURVIVOR!!

"By nature I'm a theoretical composer," Bufano continues, "and I have a system. But I don't like composers who do that, and I don't like music written that way. So for me, the defining thing of my music as a writer and player is I'm trying to get away from that." He credits the more intuitive Hostetter and Lett in helping him get away from himself. And, of course, having a story to tell.
He's looking forward to playing Cirkestra's music in a concert setting at the Gardner. "We can do things that are more intimate, or with solos, things you can't always do in a circus because there's not enough noise, or in a bar because there's too much other noise."
As for circus music versus concert music: "I haven't toured with a circus in a year and half, and I may never again, but I think people will always call me a circus musician."

A new hope for endangered seabirds
Posted on: 22 Nov 2011
Albatrosses are among the world's most endangered birds, and populations in the South Atlantic are some of the fastest declining in the world. However, a new resolution brokered and ratified at the International Commission for the Conservation of Atlantic Tunas (ICCAT) meeting in Istanbul, Turkey, on 19 November could give hope to these beleaguered birds.
The agreement means that tuna- and swordfish-fishing nations will have to take a preventative action to avoid the accidental bycatch of albatrosses and other seabirds. The measures were jointly proposed by the EU, Brazil, South Africa, Uruguay and the UK on behalf of its overseas territories.
There are 22 species of albatross recognised by the International Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN), all of which are of conservation concern and 19 of which are facing global extinction. One-third of the world's albatrosses nest on the South Atlantic UK Overseas Territories of the Falkland Islands, South George and Tristan da Cunha. This last is home to the endemic Tristan Albatross, which is Critically Endangered.
The resolution requires all longline vessels fishing south of latitude 25 degrees south – roughly Brazil to Namibia – to use two of three proposed measures to reduce bycatch: using bird streamer lines (a bird-scaring device), setting lines at night, or adding weights to baited hooks. It is thought that these measures will significantly reduce the number of birds being killed.
Dr Cleo Small, representing the RSPB and BirdLife International, attended the meeting. Speaking from Turkey, she said: "This offers significant hope to the protection of these iconic UK birds, whose population declines are among the fastest of any seabird species worldwide. Today we have an agreement that all boats working in the open waters of the South Atlantic will have to adopt at least two measures to avoid catching seabirds."
