MEMORANDUM OPINION BY JUDGE McGINLEY.
The underlying action was commenced by petition for review, in the nature of a declaratory judgment, to determine whether real property owned by the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania State System of Higher Education (PASSHE) for use by the Indiana University of Pennsylvania (IUP) (collectively "Petitioners"), is subject to local real estate taxation by the Indiana Area School District (School District), and the County of Indiana (County). (The School District, and the County, together with the Indiana County Board of Assessment Appeals (Board), are hereinafter referred to as "Respondents").
There are two Applications for Summary Relief before this Court: (1) Petitioners' "Second Application for Summary Relief;" and (2) Respondents' "Joint Application for Summary Relief."
PASSHE is the owner of 22.93 acres of real property, which includes the "Robertshaw Building" located at Rose Street, White Township, Indiana County (Property). The Deed for the Property reflects titled ownership in "the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania State System of Higher Education, for the use of Indiana University of Pennsylvania." Deed, December 17, 1984, at 1; attached to Respondents' Brief as Exhibit "A."
Procedural History
Prior to 2011, the Property was classified by the Indiana County Assessment Office as "exempt" from real estate taxation as part of the existing Keystone Opportunity Enterprise Zone (KOEZ). Because the KOEZ was set to expire in 2011, the County's Chief Assessor investigated the Property's use and, after allegedly discovering commercial leases associated with the Property, he issued a Notice of Assessment Change dated July 10, 2010, which removed the Property from Tax Exempt Status.
On March 11, 2010, IUP received a real estate tax notice from Indiana County which demanded a tax payment in the amount of $30,206.15 based upon an assessed value of $992,970.00 and a millage rate of 30.42. On August 31, 2010, Petitioners filed a Notice of Appeal to the Board.
On April 13, 2011, following several postponements of the Board hearing, Petitioners filed a Petition for Review in the Nature of an Action for Declaratory Judgment in this Court's original jurisdiction. In the Petition for Review, Petitioners aver that the Property "houses a variety of university operations, including all aspects of building and grounds, maintenance, procurement and contracting." Petition for Review, April 13, 2011, ¶19 at 6. In Paragraphs 20 through 28 Petitioners aver that the Property also houses the "Indiana County Small Business Incubator" (Incubator). According to Petitioners the Incubator is a program component of the IUP College of Business that was established in 1986 to provide assistance to start-up or developing companies in Indiana County. The College of Business has a three-fold mission to educate, engage in research and scholarly activities, and serve the community. The Incubator is funded in part by the Ben Franklin Partnership of Central and Northern Pennsylvania. The Incubator provides a community service and education to IUP students who participate in the establishment and development of actual businesses. Petition for Review, April 13, 2011, ¶¶20-28 at 6-7.
Petitioners ask this Court to declare, as a matter of law, that Respondents have no legal authority to tax property owned by the Commonwealth as the Commonwealth is immune from taxation as the sovereign. Petitioners also ask the Court to declare that Respondents have no legal authority or jurisdiction to make a factual determination (in a Board of Assessment Appeals setting) whether property owned by the Commonwealth is being used for an authorized governmental purpose. Petitioners aver that property owned by the Commonwealth is immune from taxation by local government as a matter of law, unless sovereign immunity has been expressly waived by statute enacted by the General Assembly. Petition for Review, April 13, 2011, ¶¶4-5 at 3.
On May 9, 2011, Respondents filed Preliminary Objections to the Petition for Review. Respondents argued that declaratory relief was not available because the Board has exclusive jurisdiction to classify all properties as taxable, exempt or excluded from real estate taxation. They contend the Board is vested with exclusive jurisdiction to hold evidentiary hearings to determine whether governmental immunity applies. Petitioners filed an application for Summary Relief.
On August 5, 2011, a single-judge of this Court issued an order which: (1) overruled Respondents' Preliminary Objections; (2) denied Petitioners' Application for Summary Relief; and (3) directed the Respondents to file an Answer to the Petition for Review.
On September 1, 2011, Respondents filed their Answer to the Petition for Review. Respondents denied that the Property was being used strictly for university purposes and averred that the PASSHE leased portions of the Property to private commercial tenants. Specifically, in their Answer to the Petition for Review, Respondents state that they are "without sufficient information to form a belief as to the truth of the averments" pertaining to the Incubator. Respondents' Answer to Petition, ¶19, at 4. Respondents also state, "upon information and belief, portions of the Robertshaw Building [Property] are leased to and/or marketed for leasing to private commercial tenants and said leases generate rental income." Respondents' Answer to Petition, ¶19, at 4.
On September 30, 2011, Petitioners filed a "Second Application for Summary Relief" in which they ask this Court to grant their Petition for Review in the Nature of Declaratory Judgment as a matter of law. On November 2, 2011, Respondents filed a "Joint Application for Summary Relief" which requests that this Court dismiss the Petition for Review as a matter of law. Both Petitions are before this Court.
Respondents' "Joint Application for Summary Relief"
Respondents assert that although the Property may be owned by PASSHE, "immunity" is not automatic or unqualified. They contend that PASSHE's ownership and use of the Property must be within its authorized governmental purpose before immunity applies. Therefore, "the use" of real estate is relevant in an "immunity" analysis. They rely on
Respondents further contend that they have statutory authority to determine taxable classifications, prepare a list of all properties exempted from taxation and hear all appeals challenging taxable classifications under Sections 601 and 701(c) of the Fourth to Eighth Class County Assessment Law, 72 P.S. §5453.601, and §5453.701(c).
Respondents seek an administrative evidentiary hearing before the Board on PASSHE's use of the Property to determine if the Property qualifies for immunity under the legal standard adopted by our appellate courts. They ask that Petitioners' request for summary relief be denied and the Petition for Review be dismissed as a matter of law.
Petitioners' "Second Application for Summary Relief"
In their "Second Application for Summary Relief," Petitioners ask this Court to declare, as a matter of law, that they are "immune" from local real estate taxation. Petitioners contend that Respondents are prohibited from assessing a tax against the Property because the legislature has not granted Respondents specific authority to tax Commonwealth property or to decide the authorized governmental purpose of a component agency of the Commonwealth. They assert that the Property is entitled to blanket, unqualified immunity. Petitioners contend that this ends the inquiry and it is unnecessary for the Board to hold an evidentiary hearing to determine whether the Property is being "used for a public purpose."
Petitioners stress that "tax immunity" and "tax exemption" are distinct legal concepts and that only a tax "immunity" analysis is applicable to this controversy. They claim that whether a property is "used for a public purpose" is only relevant in a tax "exemption" analysis.
Petitioners contend that the Property is owned by PASSHE, and that PASSHE and its component state-owned institutions are part of the sovereign Commonwealth of Pennsylvania. Petitioners argue that real estate owned by PASSHE may not be subject to taxation by political subdivisions absent express statutory authority,
The "Immunity" Analysis — Government Use Test
It is well-established that real estate owned by the Commonwealth is not subjected to taxation by political subdivisions absent express statutory authority.
"Immunity" also extends to property owned by "agencies or instrumentalities" of the Commonwealth.
In the case of property owned
Petitioners assert that PASSHE is
However, this does not necessarily mean that Petitioners prevail for they still must prove that: (1) PASSHE
PASSHE is not the equivalent to the Sovereign Commonwealth For Purposes of Tax Immunity Analysis — It is an "Agency or Instrumentality" of the Commonwealth
PASSHE is Pennsylvania's public university system. It is composed of 14 universities in Pennsylvania, including IUP, which are publicly owned and governed.
PASSHE is unique in that it is made up of a 20-member Board of Governors, which includes the Governor, the Secretary of Education, 4 members of the General Assembly and 14 members appointed by the Governor with the advice and consent of the Senate of Pennsylvania. Section 20-2004-(A)(a) of the Public School Code, 24 P.S. §20-2004-A(a). The Board of Governors is authorized to approve programs of research and service as might be consistent with the primary mission of PASSHE. Section 20-2003-(A)(a) of the Public School Code, 24 P.S. §20-2003-A(a). Real property owned by the Commonwealth, including PASSHE, may not be sold, transferred or disposed of without the approval of the General Assembly. 24 P.S. §20-2003-A(b)(3).
PASSHE is "part of the Commonwealth's system of higher education." Section 20-2004-(A)(a) of the Public School Code, 24 P.S. §20-2004-A(a). It serves and carries out a particular function for the Commonwealth, as opposed to being
Based on the statutory characteristics of PASSHE, PASSHE is an "agency or instrumentality" of the government which is entitled to the initial presumption of real estate tax immunity. This presumption, however, may be overcome if PASSHE acquired or used the Property outside its authorized governmental functions.
Whether PASSHE's Use of the Property is Within its Authorized Governmental Purpose
There, the Supreme Court reviewed the question of whether property which was owned by SEPTA and leased to commercial tenants was immune from local real estate taxation. There, SEPTA purchased a 20-story office building for its headquarters. To raise revenues, SEPTA leased space in the building to various government, non-profit and commercial entities. SEPTA applied to the tax revision board for an exemption on the basis that the property was immune and exempt from taxation. The Board granted a partial real estate tax exemption for the portions of the property which were used by SEPTA. The Court of Common Pleas of the County of Philadelphia concluded that the rental space by SEPTA was for a public purpose as it generated revenues for the government entity. This Court reversed and explained that an agency of the Commonwealth is immune from taxation so long as it acts in accordance with the powers granted to it. To the extent that SEPTA leased office space solely to raise revenue, this was outside the purpose of SEPTA which was to operate a transportation system for southeastern Pennsylvania.
The Supreme Court affirmed and found that SEPTA's property was presumed to be immune because it was organized under 74 Pa.C.S. §1711(a) which provides that metropolitan transportation authorities shall exercise the public powers of the Commonwealth as an agency and instrumentality thereof. In applying the government use test, the Supreme Court next found that while
Here, this Court must, in the same way, look to PASSHE's authorized powers
Section 20-2003-(A)(b)(3) of the Public School Code, 24 P.S. §20-2003-A(b)(3).
Clearly, PASSHE has been given the "power" to own, lease (as lessee and lessor), and to sell real property and use all monies "for the use of the system." The question remains, however, whether PASSHE's lease of portions of the Property to commercial tenants in exchange for rental income is consonant with its "purpose."
PASSHE's enabling legislation states that its purpose is "to provide high quality education for the Commonwealth at the lowest possible cost to its students."
Respondents request this Court to deny the Petition for Review so the Board can hold an evidentiary hearing on whether PASSHE is leasing portions of the Property to third party commercial entities and receiving rental income. This Court agrees that this is the proper course. It is unclear whether PASSHE leases a portion of the Property to the Incubator
To the extent that the Property houses classrooms, laboratories, libraries, study halls, auditoriums, workshops, etc., which are used by the university, its faculty, employees and students, for teaching and educational purposes, then it shall not be subject to real estate taxes. However, those portions of the Property which are leased to any third party
Respondents' Application for Summary Relief in the above-captioned case is hereby
AND NOW, this 5

Ten things you have to know about Patriots-Broncos
|01.18.14 at 2:22 pm ET
Here's everything you need to know about AFC title game between the Patriots and Broncos:
Our three favorite matchups on the afternoon:
1. Cornerback Kyle Arrington against wide receiver Wes Welker: This won't be single coverage all game — the Patriots will likely trot out a handful of defensive backs in nickel and dime much of the afternoon in hopes of slowing down Peyton Manning and the Denver passing game. But given that all of New England's defensive backs are healthy (as healthy as they can be at this time of the season), the Patriots have to feel good about their chances when Arrington is lined up opposite Welker. Arrington has quietly become one of the better slot corners in the league, and played a sizable role in rendering Welker a non-factor when the two teams met earlier in the season. (Welker had four catches for 31 yards in the loss to the Patriots earlier in the year.) Again, it won't be man-to-man coverage all afternoon, but if Arrington and the rest of the New England defensive backs can slow down Welker, it'll go a long way toward a Patriots win.
2. Quarterback Tom Brady against Denver defensive coordinator Jack Del Rio: As we wrote here, Brady has owned Del Rio — in seven career meetings against a Del Rio-led defense, Brady is 7-0, with 17 touchdown passes, no picks, and has completed his passes at an absolutely ridiculous rate of 73 percent while leading New England to an average of 30 points per game in those contests. In terms of pass defense, the Broncos are actually missing a few of their key components, including linebacker Von Miller and cornerback Chris Harris. It remains to be seen what the Patriots try and do offensively, but expect them to do more passing than they have over the last month or so. That could be bad news for Del Rio and his charges.
3. The Patriots running game against the Denver run defense: Since the Dec. 8 win over the Browns, the Patriots running game has been on a steady rise — in that one, they ran the ball 21 times. That went to 22 carries (Dec. 15 vs. Miami), 34 (Dec. 22 at Baltimore), 43 carries (Dec. 29 against Buffalo) and 46 carries (Saturday against the Colts), all while the pass attempts have decreased from 52 to 25 in that same span. With weather and Brady's history against Del Rio, matchups suggest that the Patriots might be inclined to throw the ball a little more than they have over the last month, but that doesn't mean they're going to stray too far from the run. Expect a steady dose of LeGarrette Blount and Stevan Ridley on Sunday against the Broncos, who were tied for seventh in the league against the run in 2013, having allowed 101.6 rushing yards allowed per game.
Though Denver's numbers against the run are strong, those numbers need to be placed in some sort of context. The Broncos played with a sizable lead for a large portion of the season. As a result, very few teams were interested in running the ball when faced with a deficit. To that point, Denver was 25th in the league in rushing attempts against with 420. As such, it's understandable why those numbers are so good, as they have simply faced fewer rushing attempts per game than most defenses.
4. Under the radar opponent who Patriots' fans need to know: We wrote this last time — even though he didn't play — and we still believe it to be the case this time around: Tight end Julius Thomas brings an interesting wrinkle to the Denver passing game, and could be an important part of what the Broncos try and do Sunday. The 6-foot-5, 250-pound Thomas had 45 catches on 62 targets for 590 yards and 10 touchdowns this season. If there's a quiet, underrated part of the Denver passing game, Thomas is it. (He averaged five catches a game the last five weeks.) One thing worth noting, however, is that the Patriots seem to be better equipped to defend against opposing tight ends going forward, as rookie linebacker Jamie Collins has started to emerge more and more as that potential coverage linebacker New England has been missing for the last few seasons. Not to suggest that it will solely be man coverage between Thomas and Collins, but the rookie out of Southern Miss will play a sizable role in trying to slow down a guy who has become one of Manning's favorite targets.
5. By the numbers: Over the last three games (two regular season games and one postseason game), Blount has almost as many rushing yards (431) as Brady has had passing yards (492). In Blount's last 18 games with Tampa Bay (from roughly the midway point of the 2011 season and the entire 2012 campaign), he had a total of 288 rushing yards.
6. Quote of note: "I'm sure no one's going to pick us to win this week. We've had our backs against the wall for a while. Really, the whole season we've lost players, and teams have really counted us out." — Brady, speaking on WEEI earlier this week.
7. Patriots fans should be worried about — falling behind early. A perfect storm allowed them to climb out of a 24-point halftime hole the first time these two teams met on Nov. 24, but this time around, it might be too much to ask for, especially on the road. Playing well early and controlling the tempo is always important, but it's especially key this week against the Broncos. If New England is able to seize command early, it would be able to rely on a suddenly sturdy running game to help put together some steady, sustained drives and control the clock. The best way to beat Manning is to keep him off the field as long as possible, and that means the Patriots need to assemble some long offensive series. Whether that's through running the ball or some short passes, if New England can seize command of the tempo early in this one, it'll go a long way toward a Patriots win.
8. Broncos fans should be worried about — the Patriots getting a superlative performance in the passing game from a relatively unexpected source. New England was able to get seven catches (on 10 targets) for 90 yards and a touchdown from Rob Gronkowski in the first meeting between the Patriots and Broncos earlier in the year. If New England is going to throw the football, it will need someone else to step into that void. While Shane Vereen did have eight catches (on 11 targets) for 60 yards in that November game, he remains a distinct possibility for an expanded role this time around because of the mismatch issues he is capable of creating. Then, there's Danny Amendola, who had just three catches for 17 yards in the first Patriots-Broncos contest, but could help lift New England into the Super Bowl if he can replicate his performances against the Bills (10 catches, 104 yards) and Dolphins (10 catches, 131 yards) earlier this season. Other options could be rookies Aaron Dobson or Kenbrell Thompkins, although both have been a little banged up as of late and are longer shots to have a significant impact in this game.
9. One more thing: It's difficult to stress just how much things have changed for these two teams since that November game. From a personnel perspective, the Broncos are without key defenders like Miller and Harris, and they have Thomas, who wasn't in the lineup the first time around. Meanwhile, the Patriots are missing Gronkowski and linebacker Brandon Spikes, but it's also important to remember that Blount and linebacker Dont'a Hightower — two of the most important players in the New England lineup over the last month — had zero impact on the game. (Blount's game over the last month has allowed the Patriots to move from a pass-first team to a more run-heavy scheme over the last month.) In addition, Collins had yet to emerge as an impactful part of the linebacking corps. (According to Pro Football Focus, he played just 23 of a possible 90 defensive snaps that night. Fast forward to the divisional playoffs last week against the Colts, where he was on the field for every one of the 66 defensive snaps.) The weather will be different as well, as the 22-degree temperatures and high winds played a significant role in the first contest — this time, it's expected to be nearly 60 degrees, and there will be minimal wind. While there will certainly be tendencies and schemes that will carry over from one game to the next, in truth, these two teams have changed about as much as you can in a two-month span.

Supervisor Candland Proposes Reforms to BOCS Rules
Gainesville, VA – During the January 7, 2014, Prince William Board of County Supervisors meeting, Supervisor Pete Candland proposed several reforms to the current Rules of Procedure by which the Board conducts its official business.
The proposed initiatives would facilitate transparency and promote more citizen engagement. Supervisor Candland proposed the following measures:
* The primary BOCS meeting times would be changed from 2:00pm to 7:30 pm in order to allow greater public participation. The vast majority of items would be voted on during the evening sessions to allow more citizen input.
* BOCS meetings would expand "Citizen's Time" to accommodate increased participation.
* Citizens would be able to subscribe through the County website to automatically receive the BOCS agendas and supporting material at the time that these materials are made public.
* The County website would offer a section for public comment on agenda matters.
* Supervisors must provide a written resolution and supporting materials to the Clerk for inclusion in the published agenda to allow appropriate review by other BOCS members.
* Any waiver of the Rules of Procedure would require a 2/3 majority vote of the BOCS instead of the current simple majority vote threshold.
"These simple and straightforward reforms will go a long way towards increasing government transparency and restoring trust in our local government," said Candland. "We serve at the will of the people, and as such, it is important that we take every step possible to provide them with adequate information about the work of their elected representatives."
To see more details on these reforms and to read Supervisor Candland's letter to other Board members, visit http://www.SupervisorCandland.com, where the letter and presentation to the Board has been posted. Supervisor Candland's proposal will be discussed at the next Board meeting on January 14, 2014.
I could not agree more with these proposed reforms. Our Board of Supervisors is supposed to be a part-time position and represent the typical county citizen. Due to the county's lack of quality employment, many residents must travel to other parts of Northern Virginia or into Washington, DC for their jobs. Most people have 9-to-5 types of jobs, yet too often our county supervisors hide in broad daylight by way of afternoon meetings that citizens cannot attend without taking time off from work. As a result, a majority of current supervisors are either self-employed or retired because they are the only ones who can participate. In order to encourage better civic involvement, both in terms of residents attending meetings to have their voices heard as well as encouraging them to serve on the board themselves, these meetings should be held during the evening.
Kudos to you, Pete, for raising this basic issue of transparency.

We import many of our fine
ingredients directly from Greece
KrokosSaffron, the gold of Greek land as it is called, is one of the most beloved and precious spices of ancient cultures because of its aroma, colour, pharmaceutical and aphrodisiac properties.
FetaGreek Barrel Aged Feta, matured in wooden barrels, is made from fresh sheep's milk from free grazing animals. The natural aroma of mediterranean grasses in combination with the aroma of the wood, gives a unique rich flavour.
YogurtGreek yogurt is one of those foods that contradicts the saying "if it tastes good, it must be bad for you." It is heavily strained to remove liquid whey and lactose, leaving behind a tangy, creamy product.
HoneyBelieved by many as the best tasting honey in the world, Greek honey is very unique due to its diverse flora, abundance of sunshine and dry climate.
CaperGreece is where the caper plant (Capparis spinosa) is thought to be endemic. Capers have been harvested and preserved in Greece for millennia.
OreganoOur ground oregano comes from hand picked herbs from Greece's Mt. Taygetos, the tallest mountain on Peloponnese. It is ground from naturally sun dried and is 100% pure.
SaltOur sea salt is from the Greek isles and is bright white in colour (thanks to the sun). It is a coarse salt high in salinity (or salty flavour)without a heavy mineral taste.
Olive OilGreek EVOO. Exceptional quality, aroma and taste. The oil is from the first pressing of the olives with no chemicals or hot water added during processing.

It is no slam to say that Casa Mañana's production of Big River, the Roger Miller musical based on Mark Twain's The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn, which opens Saturday , may be a bit "bookish."
"I have decided to set the show in a library," says Eric Woodall, the production's director. "It has never been done that way to my knowledge. The pages of the book come to life. So the audience will be able to look through the eyes of a contemporary young high school student as he is pulled into the story and taken back to the 1840s. It is a way to give a nod to Mark Twain and the literary nature of this beautiful story, while still giving proper honor and love to the music."
And this music, composed by the man who gave the world King of the Road and You Can't Roller Skate in a Buffalo Herd (and who was born in Fort Worth, by the way), has met with a lot of love since its Broadway debut in 1985.
The show ran for more than 1,000 performances before closing more than two years later. It earned seven Tony Awards in that initial run, including best musical, and received still another after a brief Broadway revival in 2003.
"I gravitate toward things I am very passionate about," says Woodall, who is usually busy as a New York casting director. "But I am sometimes able to take short leaves to direct shows, and I have always wanted to direct this show. It was one of the first musicals I ever saw as a boy growing up in North Carolina."
Killer cast
The performers Woodall has lined up for this production would have to be any casting director's dream team.
Jaston Williams, of Greater Tuna fame, will be playing the nefarious Duke.
Local favorite David Coffee is the Duke's partner, the King. And perhaps the biggest treat will be the return of Julie Johnson to Casa's stage in the double role of the Widow Douglas and Sally Phelps.
"My mother loved Broadway shows, so she would take me on those two-hour drives to Fort Worth to see the shows at Casa," says Johnson, who has performed on stages from here to New York, while continuing to live in Whitewright.
Johnson first performed at Casa in 1988. She has been a popular musical theater actress ever since, and she placed another gem in the crown of her career recently when she was featured in her first national touring production of a Broadway musical.
"We played 55 cities in 42 states," recalls Johnson of her 21-month run in the hit musical Memphis, which made a stop at Bass Hall this year.
Johnson says the tour was "one of the most wonderful experiences" of her career, because of the material and the great reception it received.
"I felt very strongly about the message [of racial tolerance] that show had," says Johnson, who is especially well known for her spot-on portrayals of country great Patsy Cline.
Family bonding
But Johnson also particularly enjoyed the Memphis tour because she made it a family affair.
"I took my son, Trey, along. We drove as much as we could, and saw so much of the beauty of this country," says Johnson, whose voice is familiar to millions (whether they know it or not) because she provided the voice of Baby Bop, a character on the Barney children's television show, for 20 years. "I didn't want us to see airports in 42 states. I wanted us to see the states."
Johnson says that Trey enjoyed the tour, which saw him doing support work such as selling programs. But we are still talking a mom and son here.
"God never meant for a 14-year-old boy to go through puberty while his mother was going through menopause," says Johnson, with typically candid humor. "Trey has made it clear to me that that is his last national tour."
While Johnson is especially appreciated for the vocal power she brings to a role, she possesses other talents.
"We are so tickled to have her. She brings a wonderful Southern charm and sense of humor to the role. She's just a star," says Woodall. "But her real highlights in this show are two acting pieces."
"I love both aspects of musical theater. I want the opportunity to act and do scene work [and] to develop a character," says Johnson, who was nominated for a Helen Hayes Award, an honor given by a Washington, D.C., theater to local and touring shows that is now in its 29th year, for her Memphis role. "And then take that character further by singing a song, which I always look at as a monologue, anyway. That song, in a well-written musical, reveals that character in a way the spoken word can't."

We are fortunate that Mitt Romney decided to allow the American people an opportunity to run for the presidency. This meant at least one honest, dependable person was involved in the act of governing our nation. Imagine the United States of America without the presence of one who had wealth? After all, from day one of our independence someone from the upper class has been willing to provide less fortunate Americans an opportunity to vote for their superiors. Rachel Sacks has a sugar daddy who lots and lots of money. When she goes into Gristede to shop, this poor young girl has to overcome stares of derision from those who lack her money! Rachel told her Facebook "friends:" "Don't hate me because I am rich." Frankly, "the attention is, I like it." All eyes on her wherever she goes!
"I am sorry that I was born with great financial opportunities that my father likes to provide me." Finally, someone who is above me is telling the truth. Mitt attempted to inform America, and few listened. There are those who have "it," and the schmucks who do not have "it." At least understand this nation was destined to be ruled by Rachel Sacks and her rich daddy. Why not understand that those with "it" are our natural rulers? Just ask the Tea Party

Reveal Truth Through Journalism
Embedded with a Christian worldview and First Amendment values, APU's Bachelor of Arts in Journalism enables honest and person-driven storytelling, equipping students to seek out and reveal the truth. The journalism major provides a solid foundation in convergent journalism, mass communication, media law and ethics, desktop publishing and design, public affairs reporting, and magazine article writing. These then serve as a framework for advanced study in the student's area of interest, such as broadcast journalism, newspapers and magazines, nonfiction creative writing, international journalism, entertainment reporting, faith and values reporting, public relations, marketing communications, radio and sound production, and documentary filmmaking. In addition, our convergent journalism program boasts four student-run media – newspaper (Clause), magazine (Collide), TV (Capture), and radio (KAPU) – which all journalism students are required to be a part of during their time at APU.
The major's curriculum and out-of-class experiences in Greater Los Angeles, one of the largest media markets in the world, and on international study abroad options, prepares students for meaningful impact in a convergent news and media industry.

The Knox City Council members approved a transfer to help cover the cost of snow removal.
Clerk-Treasurer Jeff Houston told the city council that the street department did what they could, but they have gone over budget in the snow removal line item. The contractor that removes snow in the downtown area also worked harder this season and charged a little more.
The council approved the transfer of $904.75 to cover the costs associated with snow removal.
During the last Knox Board of Public Works meeting, Street Superintendent Jeff Borg reported that the salt supply is in good shape and will be ready for the next season.

Welcome to this special issue on urban computing—the integration of computing, sensing, and actuation technologies into everyday urban settings and lifestyles. Those settings include, for example, streets, squares, pubs, shops, buses, and cafés—any space in the semi-public realms of our towns and cities. Only in the last few years have researchers paid much attention to technologies in these spaces. Pervasive computing has largely been applied either in relatively homogeneous rural areas, where researchers have added sensors in places such as forests, vineyards, and glaciers or, on the other hand, in small-scale, well-defined patches of the built environment such as smart houses or rooms.
Urban settings are challenging places for experimentation and deployment, and they remain little explored as pervasive environments for largely practical reasons. For one thing, they're complex in terms of ownership. For example, placing sensors in a city will typically require permission from many stakeholders. Urban settings also tend to be far more dynamic and dense in terms of what and who would participate in an application or system. People constantly enter and leave urban spaces, occupying them with highly variable densities and even changing their usage patterns between day and night.
The basis for a mass phenomenon
Despite the complexities, urban computing is, in a limited sense, already a mass phenomenon. Roughly half the world's population lives in urban environments. In addition to PDAs and laptops, most people have mobile phones, and most mobile phones have capabilities beyond simple voice calls. Connectivity is extensive. Mobile phones are increasingly equipped with Bluetooth for short-range communication, in addition to long-range cellular data connections. Wi-Fi networks are also commonplace.
And the technology is put to more interesting uses than you might at first think. Users have appropriated some technologies in ways that their designers didn't necessarily envisage, just as they appropriated the short-message service for text messaging. In the UK, for example, people routinely swap content between their mobile phones over Bluetooth in urban settings such as pubs and schools. That amounts to a highly dynamic, socially driven, peer-to-peer network that's pervasively embedded in cities.
In the call for articles, we included questions about how to understand such urban uses of by-now familiar technologies. But we mainly wanted to understand how to produce fully integrated designs specifically for urban settings and how to overcome the deployment challenges. Successful integration requires taking several facets of the environment into account at once. Urban settings frame social behaviors. They encompass architectural forms and features that might not be harmonious with given technologies, and they're variably permeated by wireless networks and fixed and mobile devices.
In this issue
The articles we selected confirm that urban computing is a practical reality but that research is still at an early stage, with much of the subject still to be mapped out systematically. Like cities themselves, urban computing includes a broad range of opportunities and issues.
In the first article, "NAVITIME: Supporting Pedestrian Navigation in the Real World," Masatoshi Arikawa, Shin'ichi Konomi, and Keisuke Ohnishi describe an urban navigation application in Japan with almost two million users. NAVITIME runs on mobile phones, many of which include integrated GPS. A minority use case is in-car navigation. Many people outside Japan are familiar with in-car navigation systems, but in Japan, people are using NAVITIME mostly for personal navigation as they walk or take public transportation—particularly in Tokyo. This is yet another example of how Japan often leads the rest of the world when it comes to pervasive computing. NAVITIME provides comprehensive navigation information, including maps, timetables, prices, and even carbon footprints for various journey options. It's an impressive large-scale system. However, its deployment details reveal that its application in the city isn't well understood in all respects. The authors describe their preliminary investigations into how the technology affects users' behaviors and perceptions of their city. They also look at how users recognize and adapt to the loss of GPS or the wireless network when they enter transportation systems or walk beneath tall buildings.
More and more people are engaging in urban computing—from making phone calls or exchanging files over Bluetooth to navigating across the city. One problem we face is how to gather large-scale data about these personal electronic activities. We must also relate that data to what else we know about urban phenomena such as the density of commercial or residential properties. By making these links, we can better understand where the technology is used and what roles it plays in individual and social behaviors. In "Cellular Census: Explorations in Urban Data Collection," Jonathan Reades, Francesco Calabrese, Andres Sevtsuk, and Carlo Ratti grapple with the problem of characterizing patterns of mobile phone traffic in Rome. Using data they obtained from a wireless carrier, the authors ultimately aim to match usage characteristics to urban space utilization. So far, they've only been able to note differing patterns across space and time and to suggest statistical links to, for example, residential versus commercial versus leisure usage. But this work paves the way for more in-depth analysis. It also opens a debate on the extent to which mobile phone data can and, given privacy considerations, should be used for this purpose.
The remaining two articles address the design of novel urban-computing applications. The first aims to enhance a particular urban setting. In "Undergound Aesthetics: Rethinking Urban Computing," Arianna Bassoli, Johanna Brewer, Karen Martin, Paul Dourish, and Scott Mainwaring consider the London Under-ground as a target application domain. They provide extracts from an ethnographic study of passengers and propose a design for a music-sharing application. They base their proposal on observations of the roles that media such as music and newspapers play on underground journeys, together with the possibilities that Bluetooth presents for transferring content between passengers.
Finally, in "Mobile Social Software: Facilitating Serendipity or Encouraging Homogeneity?" Jennifer Thom-Santelli takes a critical view of the urban applications that have been designed so far. She looks at new urban technologies' social and political implications, arguing that the current approach to design and deployment tends to favor only the same privileged social group as that of the designers. She's concerned that this will lead increasingly to a digital divide in our cities that matches the material divide between inner-city and suburban areas. She proposes a different approach to design, appealing to the provocative nature of the arts as a model. Through examples, she argues that this approach would more likely take account of difficult inner-city problems, such as gentrification and disadvantage, and extend urban applications' reach beyond privileged groups. As Thom-Santelli says, the value of a city is in its diversity.
We hope you'll find these articles as thought-provoking as we did. It should be clear by now that urban computing research has only just begun. We'd like this special issue to spark a new generation of researchers to take up the challenges laid down here.

We fuppofe that all, or moil of the people of Great Bedford Level'are driven from their habitations; a great deal of cattle has been removed through this place to feek for keeping; and many have been fold here and at other places, by au&ion, for what they could get. Extraci of a /eft er from Ilfrawnhe, Jan. 27. " The weather has been for thefe two months mdre tempestuous than the oldeft man here can remember. I have been an inhabitant in and near this place almoil fixty years,, but cannot recollect any gales of wind to have been fo great and variable as lately. Not lefs than thirty fail have been loft, and every man .periihed, on this coail, and four more have ifhared the fame fate on the Welch more. OuJ-boats are daily towing in fomething or other in diflretV, and yeilerday, when the weather cleared up, one of them fortunately fell in with his Majelly's floop of war the Ranger, who four days before had loft, off'Cape Corn-' .wall, her foremall, bqwiprit, main-top-malt, and one man, and was otherwise in fuch di-itrefs, that nothing but the, wonderful interposition of Providence could have faved either fhip or lives." Harwich, January 27. Yefterday afternoon an evprefs was difpatched from hence, to the Hereditary Prince.of Brunfwick and his Princefs ac Witham, with an account of three-.yuchts having arrived in this harbour about noon. His Serene Highnefs and the Princefs, accompanied by the Marquis of Gianby, Colonels Boyd, Keith, &c. M. de �eronce,/'and a great many other perfons of diiUnclionj came hiiher about thret? o'clock this afternoon, and afterwards dined at Griffith Pavies's, Efq; where an elegant dinner was provided. Tiie yachts are ordered to be in readinefs, but as the wind blows hard they cannot fail till to-morrow. The body corporate waited on their HighnefTes with their compliments of congratulation, and the town will be Illuminated' this evening. ~ LTD' N D O N. " The Prince and Princefs of Biunfwick went his Serene Highnefs the Hereditary Prince of Brunfwick, in every place where he relied, till his embarkation at Harwich on Sunday laft, was fo affable and noble, that it has gained him the elteem of all ranks and degrees of people. One- of the moil affecting fcenes at the departure of our amiable Princefs Augulla, we- are told, was as follows : When her Highnefs, who had kept up her Ipirits furprizingly, was on the point of taking'coach, in going through the haD. ihe. found all her fervants drawn up in a row,, to take their la'ft farewel of an indulgent and moll dearly beloved mi-flrefs. The; light of them inftandy melted her into tears, and clapping her handkerchief before her eyos, Ihe haftened to her carriage, unable to exprefs the emotions Ihe felt ineany other manner. It is faid the Hereditary Prince of Brunfwick will be declared Generalifiimo of the Hanoverian troops. The Duke of Brunfwick has rnade a considerable reduction in his troops. We learri, that the revenue of the reigning. Duke of .Brunfwick, father to the excellent Prince who fo lately renewed the alliance between his illuftrious Hpufe and the. Royal Family of Great Britain, is equal to that of any other German Prince, and fuperior to moft, amounting to the fum of iocoI. lterling per diem. We hear that a noble Duke made a prefent of fome fine hunting horfes, and a pack of hounds, to his Highneii, the Prince of Brunfwick ; but as the weather was fo very ltormy and ternpeftuous, it was not thought proper to embark them till the fea was become more calm. The River Thames rofe again on Saturday and on Sunday night, that it is very dangerous travelling weihvard, and the navigation of the River has been in a manner ftopt for this month pall; for tho' the River Thames has been known to be as high as now 16 years, yet the land waters and lprings were never known fo high in the memory of man, occa-fioned by the continued heavy rains. Alrfloft all the cellars about Kingflon, and further weihvard, are full of water. By the late high winds the fine copper roof of the houfe at honthill, in Wiltshire, belonging to William Beckford, Efq; was fo rent and blown off, that it mull be entirely renewed, the expence of which will amount to fix or fever) thoufand pounds. Friday lail, by order of the Society for the encouragement of Arts, &.C. the firft premium of-twenty guinea^ was given to Lewis Pingo, for the bell engraving, on cornelian, of a Venus, from one of the fbstucs in the Duke of Richmond's gallery. Aifo a premium of fifteen guineas to John Watts, for the belt engraving, in wood, after the manner of Albert Durer. And a premium of t-.-n guineas to James Deacon, for the fecend beft engraving in wood. The following is an account of the .melancholy accident which happened at the'Bull atKingilon in Surry: A Serjeant of Elliot's light Korfe having courted the maid there, Ihe con-fented to have him; upon which a- licence was taken ouf, the ring bought, and, the-wedding to have been on Sunday ; but on Bine ^itrereuce between,them, the maid burnt the licence, and would not confent t�' it; on which he came into the kitchen on Sunday morning, and fired a pillol at her, and the ball hitting againft her ftays behind, made only a' fcratch or her fide ; on which. Ihe flung her apron over her head, and run towards the lire, crying out, " Lord, don't . ihootrme.;" when he difcharged another piftofr at her, which went into her back ber tween her flays; and it is thought Ihe cannot recover.

Senior Liz Hansson defended her crown in the 50-yard freestyle Thursday at Trees Pool, earning the University of Cincinnati swimming and diving team its 12th BIG EAST Conference individual championship in program history.
Pikhartova had a momentous path just to advance to the final of the 50 free. She tied Notre Dame senior Amy Prestinario for eighth place in the 50-yard free prelims with a time of 23.42, forcing a swim-off between the two to see who would advance to the final. Pikhartova responded by ripping off the fastest time of the preliminaries, a mark of 23.02 seconds, which placed her fifth all-time in UC history.
Saturday, Feb. 18 Update: Hansson and teammate Helena Pikhartova became the first Bearcats to finish first and second in the finals of a BIG EAST Conference individual swimming championship.

I also have a 6 year old at home and he gets into EVERYTHING that isn't locked down! My wife is still not comfortable with me carrying around the house, so I keep them in the safe at home. With that said, the alarm is set and I have 2 dogs that are extremely aggressive in their protection of my wife and son. My odds aren't as good as most of you, but they aren't horrible either. This is a great topic to think about...

Three feet. We had an interesting situation happen the other night that underlines your question. I have a key thob in my pocket that if touched properly will set off a panic silent alarm at my home. Apparently this night I did that accidently. We live in a rural setting but the sherriff deputies have always arrived at other very unfortuate false alarms within ten minutes, (not quick enough to actually help if we had a home invasion) this time they arrived in about four minutes which was pretty amazing. Here's the deal that taught me and my family something. No one comes to our house unannounced that knows us and yet I heard a car screaming down my driveway. I told two family members a code word that meant go to the bedroom and grab the house guns for a defensive position. Before they got down the hallway the deputy was out of his car and at the door. A quick kick to the door and we would have been in a SHTF situation had he been the boogie man. I had my personal carry in hand and quickly put it back in my hidden holster when I realized it was Barney. It was a great lesson learned that I will keep "it" on me while in the house and my family better get down the hall a little quicker when I say GO.

PSA: Beware! Friday the 13th: The Game's servers are a total mess right now
May 26, 2017 | 7 Comments
This primal isn't your average sort of fight. I think of this guy sort of like the Ceaseless Discharge battle from Dark Souls, the non-trip version. You have to just dodge his attacks until he leaves his arms, head, hands… anything in range of your swings. For casters and ranged characters, you can keep a lock on him do I imagine you can take a shot whenever you feel safe. I break lock often on this fight just to move faster and get a better idea of my surroundings. You can roll off into lava and there is a small hole in the back you can fall into and die. Spacial awareness is the key to this encounter. Also, he can be poisoned.

Rebuilding Detroit is not only a security issue for residents but a national security issue. We need to make big changes in order to improve both the city and the lives of its citizens. It is my hope that you will entrust me to work for you on these issues.
Beyond what party you registered for, beyond who you know, the central choice in every election is about your values. It's about your ideas for nurturing and stewarding the public trust.
I am not running for Congress based on pie-in-the-sky notions of what I will 'fight for' when I get there. I am presenting my track record as it already exists, promising to work every day on behalf of the people who send me there.
My top priority is making Detroit a world-class city again. As state representative in the 4th district, I will work to achieve this goal by urging our state to invest in infrastructure, education, and our neighborhoods.
As your representative in Congress, I will continue to champion bold progressive solutions that create jobs, cut student loan and mortgage debt, cut crime, reduce our prison population, and restore financial security for the people of our region.
This week, Mitt Romney avoided the embarrassment of losing his home state's primary, but not by much. The presumptive GOP nominee's campaign continues to sputter along, unable to win over the party's base. He blamed the lack of excitement on his unwillingness to "light my hair on fire" (who would want to inflame such a perfect coif?), but it likely has more to do with his inability to stop firing off tone-deaf comments like the latest ones about his multiple cars and his NASCAR team-owner pals. Luckily for Mitt, Rick Santorum keeps speaking his mind, revealing a candidate who thinks Obama is "a snob" for promoting higher education (despite his having more degrees than Ann Romney has Cadillacs), and that the government "should get out of the education business" (despite accepting thousands in government aid for his kids' home schooling). The level of discourse, unlike the trees in Michigan, is definitely not "the right height."
Presidential candidate Rick Santorum showed that he is the "severely conservative" one in the Republican race for the nomination -- as reflected by the vote in southwest Michigan's 6th Congressional District.
Chatting with Keith Olbermann about what really happened in Tuesday's Michigan primary. Mitt Romney and Rick Santorum tied where it counts: DELEGATES....

Even before Giffords resigned from Congress earlier this year, there was plenty of speculation about whether Kelly would run for her seat. "It's not my time either," he tells me. "I got my arm twisted a bunch." Will it ever be his time? "I don't know," he says. "You never know."
Whenever a bad news topic arises like high gas prices or Iran, Obama's face is plastered all over the news with the caption, "What Does This Mean for the President's Re-Election Chances?" But, when there is good news on the horizon... nothing.
So what do we make of the Arizona and Michigan primaries? One thing's for sure: Mitt Romney didn't win them per se. Rick Santorum lost them.
Mitt Romney claims that he has a plan for "more jobs, less debt and smaller government." He also says that he has the "integrity" to "speak honestly with the American people." But his "plan" simply doesn't add up.
When Perry abandoned his run after a disastrous campaign, Romney's campaign apparatus could breathe a sigh of relief. Well that was premature. Beating Gingrich in Florida was easy compared to this. Santorum in Michigan is a political nightmare for Mitt Romney.
Over a thousand people showed up for a Rick Santorum rally Monday night at the Heritage Christian Academy, a K-12 private school in Kalamazoo. Organizers expected only 300.
Welcome to the new Republican Party. The party of homophobic, xenophobic, racist, anti-science, anti-education invective and hateful demagoguery. The party of mean and nasty and anti-accomplishment.

Motorists travelling the State Highway 2B Expressway between Westshore and Prebensen Drive are being advised to keep an eye out for contractors working along the estuary bridge stretch.
The work, which involves installing power attachments, got under way late last year and is being carried out intermittently.
The work is expected to be wrapped up by the start of next month.
Until then motorists are urged to be aware that work could be taking place, and that speed restrictions, and on occasions stop-go signalling, could be in place.
The latter may result in delays of up to five minutes.
It is one of five highway stretches across the Hawke's Bay network where delays can be expected due to maintenance and works.
On SH2 between Napier and Gisborne work is taking place at several road maintenance and reconstruction sites between Tangoio and Gisborne, although delays are expected to be minor.
Minor delays can also be expected between Pakipaki and Te Hauke on SH2 between Napier and Dannevirke where a passing lane is being constructed.
On SH5 between Napier and Taupo repair crews may be at work, at times, on the Mohaka River Bridge just north of Te Pohue.
Motorists are urged to stick to the 50km/h speed limit in place and to drive the stretch with caution.
There are also several small road maintenance sites between Tarawera and Taupo.
Pavement reconstruction and maintenance crews are also at work in the Tikokino district on SH50 between Napier and Dannevirke.

I'm not sure, but the market tends to pullback from time to time. It's really nuts how many people use the potential for a pullback not to be invested in the stock market. Until the Dow recently hit new all-time highs most Americans thought it was down the last year, very few knew it was up more than 100% since the recession. Of course outside of those in 401K programs at work, a woefully small amount of people actually bought stocks during the stealth rally; now those same folks have one worry-The Correction.
Why? Some say they are going to jump into the market in a dip, a pullback, or The Correction. Honestly, folks?
Are you really going to pick the bottom?
Few things frustrate me more than would-be investors that feel that even though they've missed a rally with numerous entry points they'll pinpoint the next "bottom" on a pullback or The Correction.
Yeah right! If you could pick the bottom then you would be riding the wave right now not looking for an entry point. It's a copout not unlike all these bears running around dismissing the rally as being simply Fed-fueled so hopelessly doomed. This is a dangerous example of pride and ego because not only did people miss out big time but they will continue to miss out until the market falls completely apart. Then they will buy the market because it would be the right time although one has to wonder what kind of news could spark The Correction.
Here's the deal-most people, and I'm talking 99%, (including the so-called pros) have no clue how to invest in the market. While it's true at any given time any approach might work (I used to joke you could pick stocks that begin with "T" on Tuesdays and sell them on Thursday and that might work for two weeks, even two months, who knows, but it would be pure luck not an alphabet logarithm). During the great technology rally of the late 1990s people actually bragged about not even knowing what companies did but knowing the stock would move higher.
That's what happens in manias-the current rally is not a mania.
The volume is anemic, the skeptics abound everywhere and earnings back up valuations. That doesn't mean the market isn't going to pull back, but it does mean the massive collapse is highly unlikely to happen anytime soon. It also means you are fooling yourself about buying The Correction. In so many ways this is the wrong conversation to be having anyway.
You are probably looking at investing the wrong way in the first place.
You must know that while we are talking about the "market," the fact is I believe in owning great companies and that's a distinctively different thing altogether. The market encompasses all publicly traded companies, which means the winners and losers. We are looking for the winners. We all know the winners, by the way, because we make them winners. The masses dictate demand, which derives from a desire to own, use have a winning product or service.
Have you ever gone to a store, hotel, and business and said "wow, that place was great, I wish I owned it?" You aren't thinking the business is going to fail but that over time it will only get better and better and why you aren't lucky enough to be in on the action. Because it's not about luck! It's about finding these great companies and putting them together in a basket. Of course it's better to find these winners as they're emerging or reemerging. There is work on valuations and peer reviews but the basic concept is easy to understand.
Buy and Hold
Things have changed with the market from years ago when the average stock was held for three years. Booms and busts and high frequency trading has created volatility, and coupled with lingering fear and distrust have made buying and holding difficult. I must admit that I often send alerts to take profits sooner than I would if managing money in a hedge fund, but I also have to manage fickle personalities of people that think a bad quarter means IBM could go out of business. I'm only half-joking.
That's too bad because right now great American companies are looking at opportunities that have never been there in the past. The world is on fire ... and I'm not talking about the world that the news talks about because there is more to the planet than Europe, Japan, and America. They can't get enough Whirlpool washers and dryers in South America or American baby formula in China.
There are trends happening now that will be in place for the next ten to one hundred years.
While you're focused on not getting caught in the next 6% pullback or "The Correction" great stocks could rally ten, twenty, fifty percent. Recently on Fox Business a big trader guy said the next 15% move in the market will be to the downside, I thought "so what" the next 100% or 200% or 300% move would be to the upside. I've been helping people with investing since 1985 and people have changed. Back then it was really about buying and holding and rarely thinking about selling. Because so many people share so much animosity and fear, triggering The Correction is easier now than back then.
One thing that hasn't changed is shares of great companies always bounce back.
So I get the idea of wanting to pick the bottom or buy a dip; right now our suggested cash level for Hotline subscribers is 25%. But we are holding names we think the Street has already overlooked and believe they'll discover them at much higher levels.
This is the approach you must consider, not the notion you will pick the bottom during a market meltdown- it's not going to happen.
1900 America All Over Again
What's happening around the world right now in many ways mirrors what America went through at the turn of the century that saw an industrial revolution and confidence coming out of the Chicago World's Fair that said the sky was the limit. In fact, not even the sky posed a problem anymore as multistory buildings were erected with elevators that allowed people to live and work in a domain once reserved for birds.
There is a world out there that is growing and not seizing the bank accounts of its citizens or taxing its achievers out of envy or deterring success in the name of an artificial state of fairness.
In the early 1900s Edward Mead Johnson bolted from the company he co-founded with his brother, Johnson & Johnson, to form one focused on infant nutrition. In 1910 one out of every five children didn't make it to birthday number 5. Two of the main reasons for this were Gastrointestinal disorders and infant digestive problems. Mead Johnson developed products that that helped to fix these problems. It established a legacy for the company that continues to this day. Known for Enfamil, the company has a massive array of products.
But in America birth rates are declining rapidly, mirroring massive decreases already experienced in Europe and Japan. Births are great in other parts of the world where incomes and prosperity are evolving like never before. As a result Mead Johnson (MJN) is positioned to grow for decades to come. In the 1980s European growth was huge, and now Latin America and Asia are poised to be even greater (China sales have doubled in the last three years). The company's top ten markets reflect a world never mentioned on financial television and not considered when the pros discuss the global economy.
In America the birth rate is 13.7 per thousand, in the EU only 10.3, and 2013 GDP maybe 2.5% and flat respectively.
I think Mead Johnson (MJN) should be in everyone's portfolio now. You can wait for The Correction or you can simply take a position and if the stock pulls back then buy more.
Consider the stock idea and the commentary a freebie. Mead Johnson is an official long idea for paid subscribers, and I have another idea as well.
Will Merkel Blink?
Essentially what's going on now in Cyprus is a game of chicken
On one end is Germany which has more or less funded all these European bailouts to the dismay of its hard working citizens and on the other end Cyprus which could also represent any troubled European nation that wants a future bailout on its own terms.
Cyprus knows Greece played hardball and has been bailed out twice (2010 and 2012), and more importantly knows Germany likes the idea of a United States of Europe (as long as its calling the shots) so even if the smallest, weakest player drops out it could be like that skit where someone pulls a small thread and the entire suit falls apart.
There are already a lot of Euro-skeptics so any hiccup would be seen as massive failure and warnings about the future of a shared-currency and shared rules that come with being a member.
The initial deal to tax all savers was met with natural disgust and horror. Cyprus tried to make Russia the white knight but that seems to have fallen apart and a deal there would also need EU approval. So, it's back to square one with the clock set to strike midnight in minutes.
The ECB says no more emergency cash next week without a deal.
There are at least nine bills floating around Cyprus and suggestions of things like collateralized church assets and future natural gas revenues (selling them now) have been shot down by the ECB.
Cyprus could decide it likes having low business taxes, control of its natural gas assets, and its banking center the way it is, and go through a meltdown by leaving the Euro but having the ability to print its own currency and rebuild the nation under its terms is an attractive long term option.
It's a nail-biter for sure.

TORONTO – No one really needed to see the sight of Marc Staal flailing around violently on the ice at Madison Square Garden to know that hockey players should protect their eyes with a visor.
But it may have taken that unfortunate incident in early March to finally bring about progress in the NHL.
How else to explain why just 30 per cent of players supported grandfathering in the use of visors back in 2009 and approximately 80 per cent do today?
The most recent figure came via a poll conducted by the NHL Players' Association over the last week and resulted in Tuesday's announcement by the competition committee that visors will be grandfathered in for all new players starting next season.
Until now, the NHLPA had vehemently defended the right of each player to choose whether he would use eye protection. It did so even as Bryan Berard, Manny Malhotra, Chris Pronger and others suffered eye injuries.
Eventually, the tipping point arrived.
Enough was enough.
It is no coincidence that it came at a time when more and more players were already choosing to wear visors on their own. Seventy-three per cent had one on in 2013. And according to Mathieu Schneider, the NHLPA's special assistant to the executive director, some attitudes changed for good after Staal took a puck to the face.
"Without a doubt," he said. "Every time there's an injury like that, I think any player that's playing without a visor starts to think about it or has his mom calling him or his wife telling him or his kids telling him. I dealt with that throughout my career.
"It's a reason why the numbers (wearing them) are so high -- frankly the numbers went up again and more guys put a visor on after the Staal injury this year."
With the new rule in place, the feeling is that at least 80 per cent of NHL players will wear a shield next season. That number will eventually climb to 100 per cent as veterans leave the league or choose to adapt by wearing a visor themselves.
Officially, any player with at least 25 games of NHL experience (regular season or playoffs) at the end of this season will retain the right to choose.
Everyone else will simply continue to use the facial protection he has already grown comfortable with while coming up through junior, college, European pro leagues or the American Hockey League.
The NHL's board of governors still has to sign off on the new visor protocol before it enters the rulebook, but that vote won't take very long. The players are the league's most important asset and top decision-makers have been waiting a long time for this day to come.
"We are very pleased," NHL commissioner Gary Bettman told sportsnet.ca on Tuesday night.
Representatives from the league and union plan to sit down together next week in an effort to establish some rules and guidelines governing the use of visors. They will also speak with manufacturers about developing shields that are custom fit for each different type of helmet.
Colin Campbell, the NHL's vice-president of hockey operations, indicated that rule 46.6 -- which deems that an extra two-minute penalty will be assessed to a player who instigates a fight while wearing a visor -- will be examined and likely changed.
"We've got to walk through all of that," said Campbell, whose son Gregory plays for the Boston Bruins and doesn't currently wear a visor.
There was clearly a feeling of change in the air as the competition committee gathered for its first meeting since the new collective bargaining agreement was signed back in January.
A group comprised of players, general managers, Flyers owner Ed Snider and Maple Leafs coach Randy Carlyle also agreed to test hybrid icing in the pre-season next year, adopt shallower nets designed to give players more room to maneuver and subject all four-minute high-sticking penalties to video review to ensure that the correct call was made on the ice.
They also decided to form a sub-committee that will be tasked with making future decisions on equipment -- everything from goalie pads to shoulder pads and helmets.
However, it wasn't any of those initiatives that had Schneider walking away from the NHL's Toronto office on Tuesday night proclaiming that "an awful lot" had been accomplished.
The former NHL defenceman was clearly pleased to see the visor mandate move forward. He played more than 1,400 games in the league without one but started to think the time had come for a change in the wake of the serious injury suffered by Staal -- one that will have long-lasting effects.
The 26-year-old New York Rangers defenceman isn't expected to ever regain 100 per cent vision in his right eye -- which was struck directly by a puck on March 5 -- and has indicated that he hoped none of his peers would ever have to experience what he went through.
At least a few will almost certainly be spared now that players have decided to take the visor choice out of the hands of future generations.
"Overall, it's just been a change in attitude," said Schneider.
It's a welcome change, indeed.
