I live in Ohio and was wondering if when transporting my handgun (empty) in the case, if it is legal to have the clip loaded in the case as well as long as it is not in the actual gun? Also i do not have a concealed carry permit.
A loaded magazine that is not in the gun does not constitute a loaded weapon.
Of course I will now give my standard disclimer and say to call the police for the direct answer and never seek legal advice on the internet.
Ohio Revised Code 2923.16 appliesAlso2923.16 Improperly handling firearms in a motor vehicle.
(A) No person shall knowingly discharge a firearm while in or on a motor vehicle.
(B) No person shall knowingly transport or have a loaded firearm in a motor vehicle in such a manner that the firearm is accessible to the operator or any passenger without leaving the vehicle.
(C) No person shall knowingly transport or have a firearm in a motor vehicle, unless the person may lawfully possess that firearm under applicable law of this state or the United States, the firearm is unloaded, and the firearm is carried in one of the following ways:
(1) In a closed package, box, or case;
(2) In a compartment that can be reached only by leaving the vehicle;
(3) In plain sight and secured in a rack or holder made for the purpose;
(4) If the firearm is at least twenty-four inches in overall length as measured from the muzzle to the part of the stock furthest from the muzzle and if the barrel is at least eighteen inches in length, either in plain sight with the action open or the weapon stripped, or, if the firearm is of a type on which the action will not stay open or which cannot easily be stripped, in plain sight.
(D) No person shall knowingly transport or have a loaded handgun in a motor vehicle if, at the time of that transportation or possession, any of the following applies:
(1) The person is under the influence of alcohol, a drug of abuse, or a combination of them.
(2) The person's whole blood, blood serum or plasma, breath, or urine contains a concentration of alcohol, a listed controlled substance, or a listed metabolite of a controlled substance prohibited for persons operating a vehicle, as specified in division (A) of section 4511.19 of the Revised Code, regardless of whether the person at the time of the transportation or possession as described in this division is the operator of or a passenger in the motor vehicle.So to answer your question - you have to unload that magazine (It's not a clip) and put the handgun in the trunk. OR just go get a conceal carry license and don't worry about it.(K) As used in this section:
(1) "Motor vehicle," "street," and "highway" have the same meanings as in section 4511.01 of the Revised Code.
(2) "Occupied structure" has the same meaning as in section 2909.01 of the Revised Code.
(3) "Agriculture" has the same meaning as in section 519.01 of the Revised Code.
(4) "Tenant" has the same meaning as in section 1531.01 of the Revised Code.
(5) "Unloaded" means any of the following:
(a) No ammunition is in the firearm in question, and no ammunition is loaded into a magazine or speed loader that may be used with the firearm in question and that is located anywhere within the vehicle in question, without regard to where ammunition otherwise is located within the vehicle in question.
(b) With respect to a firearm employing a percussion cap, flintlock, or other obsolete ignition system, when the weapon is uncapped or when the priming charge is removed from the pan.
(6) "Commercial motor vehicle" has the same meaning as in division (A) of section 4506.25 of the Revised Code.
(7) "Motor carrier enforcement unit" means the motor carrier enforcement unit in the department of public safety, division of state highway patrol, that is created by section 5503.34 of the Revised Code.

OUR VIEW: Is it time for tolls on some roads?
Who's gonna get the money? It's expected that the state of Michigan might well have a few hundred million in surplus revenue in this year's budget … and the competitors for a share of the bonus are already lining up.
Certainly, Michigan cities and other governmental units are looking for a bigger share. Municipalities have been short-changed for years. Need we mention our public school systems? But our deteriorating roads (we have the highest big-trucker load limits in the land) and the price for repairs are another big factor clamoring for attention.
Lurking in the background of all of this is that if the city of Detroit goes bankrupt, along with some other Michigan cities, the tab for Michigan taxpayers who are constitutionally liable for public employee entitlements could be a big one. But that one's still up in the air and down the road.
Our cities, which have seen shrinking revenue sharing for several years now, should get some early help. Our cities' schools, to the extent that money would go for actual classroom offerings and expanded academic opportunities should get help also.
Money for cities and schools should be measured against their individual efforts to cut expenses in the form of sharing services and controlling entitlements.
Our roads make a mockery of our claim to be the automotive capitol of the country. Serious thought should be given to making our most traveled freeways toll roads. That's a real-time user-pays system. Why not investigate how much I-94 and I-96 are costing us, and whether the big truckers using them are even buying their fuel in Michigan?
We're taking modest steps to solve some very big problems. But let's be thankful for the gains we seem to be making.

The Australian Securities Exchange has upheld a decision blocking oil and gas junior
But International's executive chairman
"They've left the door open for us to go back to the [ASX Appeals] tribunal," he said. "The tribunal will come up with a compromise and they'll accept it. That's what we're expecting."
In March, the ASX informed International it would not be allowed to resume trading unless it retracted a $152 million deal to buy Mr Timis's Eastern Petroleum Corporation.
The transaction, which has since been approved by International shareholders but cannot be finalised until the company relists on a stock exchange, will make Mr Timis a director and major shareholder in International.
The ASX's concerns related to Mr Timis's past record as a company director. He was chief executive of Regal Petroleum, listed on London's AIM exchange, when the company made misleading statements about the extent of an oil discovery in Greece.
International said on Thursday that in upholding its decision, the ASX had "again expressed concerns over the influence that Mr Timis will have over the company's ability to comply with its continuous disclosure obligations".
ASX corporate relations manager Matthew Gibbs did not want to speculate on the outcome of the second appeals tribunal hearing, saying it would be "improper".
Mr Sage has committed to listing International on the smaller, Newcastle-based National Stock Exchange of Australia, but would prefer that the company be dual-listed.

Turkey is governed by a Muslim leadership that claims to respect the rights of all citizens as he slowly and gradually pushes for laws that would deny those who are not believers in a land governed by Sharia law to practice their version as to what constitutes being a Muslim. Under leadership of Prime Minister Erdogan there are increasing examples of an authoritarian bent to the government. A proposed plan to demolish Taksim Gezi Park in order to build a new mall led thousands of young people to protest. They were greeted by police using force to end this demonstration.
The European Union Commissioner for Enlargement which is reviewing the Turkish desire to enter the EU warned against denying the right of assembly. Peter Stano made clear to the Erdogan government its concerns. "We condemn all excessive and disproportionate use of force." The US State Department also made clear its concern.
Slow down Erdogan.

You are working late in an industrial strip mall in a relatively remote cornerof the city. While taking some stuff out to the dumpster out back, you notice some sort of commotion between a pair of parked cars about 30 meters away. You decide to carefully investigate, and happen upon a rape being perpetrated upon a female by three males. Just about the time you recognize the situation, one of them notices you, when you are about 15 meters away. He yells something in a foreign language, and then two of them charge you, they each appear to have bladed weapons. Since your hand was already on your weapon, and you were still 40 feet away, you draw as you shout a warning. They continue, and you quickly put two rounds into each perps chest. You notice in the streetlight that they have MS 13 tattoos.
Then things go sideways.
Shouts towards the buildings beyond them notify you that there were more in the alleyway further down which you didn't notice.
Situation: no less than 8 individuals, some with guns, some with machetes are about 30 meters away, and starting to run and raise weapons. There is one perp very close to you (10 meters distance) on the ground. You realize will need to stop at your works back entrance to unlock the door, which will take a good 7 seconds to dig the keys ourt of your jeans, find the right one on the ring of 30 keys, get it into the lock, unlock, and get inside, which is just too damned long. Your car/truck parked on the other side of the strip (75 meters long total) is about 30 meters from the front door of the establishment, pointed towards it. Inside is an SKS in a gun rack with a few stripper clips in the glove compartment, but nothing in the weapon.
It's 30 meters to the dumpster, and 15 more to the corner of the strip mall. the strip mall is 20 meters wide, and a featureless wall on the end.
No; you are not working at a gun store; you are working at an engraving shop, or some other place which would not have weapons readily available.
Okay; you just dropped two MS13 gangsters, and their 8 friends are pissed, armed, and drawing down.

How to Cover 1" and larger knockouts?
I understand that all un-used knockout holes must be covered in some way. How would you go about covering knockouts larger than 3/4"? I assume there must be larger covers for these. All I can find at the local hardware stores are covers for the 1/2" and 3/4" holes, I think I have a 1 1/2" and a 2" hole to cover up in both a sub panel and a sub-meter.
This is in regards to an inspection needing to be done on the recent replacement of the furnace. I know my main panel and adjacent subpanel would setup a ton of red flags if any inspector comes in to check it out so I'd like to fix the "red flags" before they even get here.
Would having large open knockouts in panels un-related to a furnace replacement be grounds to fail an inspection?
Electrical supply house should the different size knockouts you need.
I don't know if the inspection would include the inspector looking at the electrical panel, but it would be a good idea anyway to plug those. Better to be safe than sorry. You can find the appropiate "plugs" at an electrical supply house
I figured the electrical supply house would be the response. I'm looking to do this work in the next week or so over Christmas while I have time off from work, so maybe I will make the knockouts the last item on my list to do. I was just curious if I should be worried about it or not, but it makes sense to have them covered up for when the inspector takes a look at it.
With my luck he will simply take a look in the panel at the labeling for the furnace and the size of the breaker and call it a day, so a lot of this work would be for nothing (but to be safe).
Two fender washers and a bolt with a nut works well for a KO seal. Any bigger than say 1" or so, I have snipped the corners off of a couple of 4" square covers and bolted them together.
Some inspectors realize that sometimes you have to improvise to make it safe. If you have many supply houses around (like here on Long Island), then there's no excuse not to do it with listed devices. Have a Happy Holliday. pete
The big box stores do sell KO seals, up to 2" I believe.
Those morons are probably open all day tomorrow.
If my memory serves me right and its sometime questionable, but I think that in these parts the openings must be covered with a material of equal gauge to the enclosure! Thinking back, I don't believe that I've ever seen a plug that met this requirement.
To be code compliant for an enclosure and be listed....:) Try a knockout seal as Speedy mentioned.. You generally get these with rain proof enclosures so you can close off the hub opening then bottom feed opposite the hub.
1" knockout plugs are quite common about everywhere where a decent electrical department is located. Bigger than that when I'm in a pinch my favorite is two knockout reducing washers and the appropriate size plug that I might have on hand.

Forty years ago, Glenn Orr built the Orr Family Farm, a farm-themed amusement park and horse stables that attract thousands of visitors each year from Oklahoma and beyond. But when a powerful tornado hit Moore, Oklahoma, on 20 May, the Orr Family Farm was decimated.
Amid the chaos and cleanup, family member Shelby Orr is leaving for 18 months of service as a Mormon missionary — a tough thing to do in light of what needs to be accomplished before reopening the farm. Her family fully supports her decision to serve. "We have faith that the Lord knows exactly where we need to be at the right time, and this is the time for her to be [a missionary]," her mother says.

I'm an ISFJ (so I use Fe) and I have an INFP friend (who uses Fi). Before we even knew anything about type or functions, we had this conversation, and in retrospect, it seems like to me a really good example of the differences between Fi and Fe, and I just wanted to get others' thoughts on it.
I was telling him about one of my friends from college. I was extremely close to this friend and I loved being around her...we were very close.
However, not only did she herself not cuss, she preferred others around her not to cuss when in her company. Now, she wasn't pushy about this...it's not like she treated anyone who cussed around her differently. But, if the topic came up, she expressed that she would prefer it if those around her did not cuss.
In that situation, my Fe took over. Even though I cuss whenever I feel like it and it was sometimes my natural urge to do so around her, I refrained from doing it because I valued our friendship. I put her preference above mine because I didn't think it was that big of a deal to be careful not to cuss around her. She never pushed me into it, but I felt that because we were friends, part of me being her friend was to honor her wishes by not doing something she didn't like me to do. It wasn't that big of a deal to me...I put our friendship over my own small natural inclination.
When I told my INFP friend about it, this sounded preposterous to him. In his mind, he felt that she was being completely unreasonable and uptight. He felt that if she was truly my friend, she shouldn't care at all about whether or not I cussed. He said that I should be free to do whatever I wanted and it was up to her to decide if that was worth still being my friend. His point was that if the friendship hinged on me cussing or not, then it wasn't worth having. For his friends, if anyone ever mentioned that to him, he would have ignored it because he found it unreasonable...he felt no need to change what was true for him and if someone else didn't like it, there was no point in even being friends.
Looking back on it now, to me this seems like a perfect illustration of Fe vs. Fi. My Fe believes that in a friendship, both friends should make personal sacrifices in order to keep harmony between the two friends. His Fi believes that if the friendship is truly valuable, both friends shouldn't ever have to feel like they have to sacrifice anything...they should be free to do whatever they want and the other should be ok with it because they're friends.
Now, this isn't to say that both he and I don't agree to a degree with both of these perspectives. I'm sure there are times where he sacrifices things for friends, and there are times when I won't back down from who I am. But, I still think this conversation kind of illustrates how an Fe user and an Fi user might view a friendship. I know from my experience talking with some INTJs that they tend to feel pretty similar to how my INFP friend does.
Any thoughts on this?

" Manufacturer: Learning Curve / Type: Engine "
* Prices may differ from that shown
... well not quite. Irving is meant to be a shunting engine in charge of recycling and cleaning in Chuggington, but he looks like a brake car or caboose to us. He is perfectly designed and looks just like the cartoon character, but this really is one of the lesser characters in the programme. When my son was younger , one his favourite stories was The Caboose Got Loose, and he still enjoys it now and then. My boys have also always loved the red braking car and the Ulster Folk and Transport Museum - so they have always wanted a caboose. When my son saw this in a toy shop - he thought it was a caboose and asked for it. At the time though it was ridiculously over priced at about £10 - so I promised to see if I could get it online. Luck was on my side and I picked this up for £3 odd from Amazon. The current price is slightly higher at £4.49 - but still quite fair.
Irving has been used most often as caboose in our house, hooked up to another engine, or even a long line of engines. He feels a bit light weight, and I did have my doubts about the light plastic wheels, but he does roll along very well, picking up speed nicely on tracks. He can be a little bit prone to flying off ramps if going to fast, which I do feel is due to being light, but he is well made and like all of other Chuggington trains, after two years of play looks no different from the day he was bought. When hooked to another car he seems to do very well, but of course to many cars in a row increase the chance of flying off a track on a curve. This has been used with a set that has ramps and a Hotwheels style speed booster which pushes it along. Despite a few crashes - he has never shown any damage. My son has always especially liked this car because it is a bit different - and something to attach to the other trains. Coupling and uncoupling is made very easy with a simple plastic ball and socket.
I do really like this engine, but I bought these before the wooden line was released. I think these are ever so much better than the interactive trains - which sit unused in a large box - but they still don't match a wooden train set in my opinion. They are inexpensive, easy to collect, and well made though. You can also find accessories for these quite easily. We use this with the Wilson carry case, and my son has always enjoyed having a set of trains that can easily be carried about like this - and just as easily put away. I won't rate Irving down because he is not wooden - after all that isn't fair - if you are looking for a good quality die-cast toy - this fits the bill perfectly.
Chuggington is a fairly recent CBeebies television show that has really enthralled our grandson. It's a cartoon filled with colourful trains called chuggers, who are learning the ropes of how to be useful trains when they grow up. It's a bit like Thomas the Tank Engine but brighter and happier! The people behind the show finally put together a range of Chuggington toys that were released last month, and the grandson immediately 'needed' six of the new diecast Chuggington trains.
This little diecast model is of Irving. In the TV show, Irving is a mature train who helps to tutor the young chuggers. He's a big authority figure in the show, and a bit stuffy too, but for some reason he's one of the grandon's favourites despite his uptight manner.
I think they captured the essence of the character rather well in this model, though he doesn't look as mature in model form as he does in the cartoon series. He looks like he should look, looking at his shape and size and features - I just think they've made him look a bit younger than they should have done. I guess it's a bit easier to give a cartoon a look of maturity than it is a diecast train eh?
He's nicely made with lots of little moulded details all around his carriage. I do think he'd have benefited from some kind of interactive part though, like perhaps an opening door or similar. His coupling is strong and he attaches easily to the other trains, and his wheels run smoothly and fluidly.
Irving is a sturdy enough little train who works well and looks close enough to satisfy your average three to five year old. I think they put a little less effort into him than they did into some of the others from this range, but he'll suffice nonetheless. If you want to buy him, he retails for £5.99, which is pricy but only the same as you pay for the Thomas the Tank Engine diecast trains. We got ours from Toys R Us as part of a three for the price of two offer.

Posted by Michele Goetz on January 28, 2013
Joining in on the spirit of all the 2013 predictions, it seems that we shouldn't leave data quality out of the mix. Data quality may not be as sexy as big data has been this past year. The technology is mature and reliable. The concept easy to understand. It is also one of the few areas in data management that has a recognized and adopted framework to measure success. (Read Malcolm Chisholm's blog on data quality dimensions) However, maturity shouldn't create complancency. Data quality still matters, a lot.
Yet, judgement day is here and data quality is at a cross roads. It's maturity in both technology and practice is steeped in an old way of thinking about and managing data. Data quality technology is firmly seated in the world of data warehousing and ETL. While still a significant portion of an enterprise data managment landscape, the adoption and use in business critical applications and processes of in-memory, Hadoop, data virtualization, streams, etc means that more and more data is bypassing the traditional platform.
The options to manage data quality are expanding, but not necessarily in a way that ensures that data can be trusted or complies with data policies. Where data quality tools have provided value is in the ability to have a workbench to centrally monitor, create and manage data quality processes and rules. They created sanity where ETL spaghetti created chaos and uncertainty. Today, this value proposition has diminished as data virtualization, Hadoop processes, and data appliances create and persist new data quality silos. To this, these data quality silos often do not have the monitoring and measurement to govern data. In the end, do we have data quality? Or, are we back where we started from?

June 6 marks the 50th anniversary of the 1964 Mosport Player's 200 car race, won by New Zealand's Bruce McLaren and witnessed by more than 52,000 spectators, setting a Canadian sports event attendance record.
My assignment on June 6, 1964 as the After Four roving cartoonist for the now-defunct Toronto Telegram newspaper was to travel down Highway 401 east of Toronto to Mosport Park and capture in my cartoons the spirit of the fourth annual Players 200.
Mosport was conceived by the British Empire Motor Club, which in 1958 purchased 450 acres of farmland just north of the town of Bomanville, Ont. Mosport Ltd. was formed to develop the project. Renowned British driver Stirling Moss, behind the wheel of a Lotus 19, won the inaugural Mosport Player's 200 in June, 1961.
The 1964 Player's 200 was sponsored by Player's Tobacco and with help from the Canadian Racing Drivers' Association (CRDA) there was an impressive list of international entrants. The weather was an ideal, sunny 75 degrees Fahrenheit. Most of the spectators were young men and women out for a good time.
The previous Player's 200 races and overnight camping parties had established the event as the place to be at the beginning of summer. The Telegram's After Four newspaper supplement was published every Thursday and it was aimed at students. My job was to humouruosly illustrate the goings-on at the track and I took my queues from how people dressed, from their conversations and from the cars. For example the Telegram's title page cartoon of a guy cooking a chicken on a race car engine was inspired by my observations of a pit crew keeping foil-wrapped food warm on a hot exhaust manifold.
The Toronto Telegram's June 6 Sports section ran an aerial photo of the track, showing an infield littered with cars and tents. The caption read "15,000 Wait All Night For Big Race At Mosport."
The Toronto Daily Star's June 6 front page read "It's D-Day for Mosport as 20,000 invade," under a photo of a guitar player serenading his friends. Of the six other photos, one pictured the colossal traffic jam that travelling race fans created on Highway 401 – then, as now, Canada's busiest highway. This volume of cars foreshadowed the record setting attendance of 52,224 spectators.
The list of entrants included local drivers Nat Adams, Rudy Bartling, John Cox, Ludwig Heimrath, Wayne Kelly, Norm Namerow and Vic Yachuk. There was Scotland's Jim Clark in a Lotus 19B and Englishman Hugh Dibley in a Stirling Moss-sponsored Porsche 904. The Americans included Indy winner A.J. Foyt in a Scarab, Dan Gurney in a Lotus 19B, Jim Hall and Roger Penske in Chaparrals, and Augie Pabst in a Cooper Ford. New Zealander Bruce McLaren entered a number 47 Zerex Special, based on a Mecom Formula One Cooper that sported an array of eight straight exhaust pipes splaying off an Oldsmobile engine.
The race was run in two 100-mile heats, each heat being 40 laps. Cars were divided into three classes: under two litre, over two litre and grand touring. Prize money was $11,000.
Gurney, who held the Mosport 1:31.5 lap record, was on the pole. Also in the front row were McLaren and Hall in one of the two Chev V8 Chaparrals.
The first 100-mile heat did not go well for Gurney as his Lotus failed to start. Once he got going he charged through the field but soon encountered mechanical problems that forced him out. McLaren prevailed in the first heat with an elapsed time of 1:03:35.4, finishing ahead of Penske's Chaparral and Pabst's Cooper Ford.
At 4 p.m., the second heat started with McLaren and Penske in the pole positions. Gurney, Hall and Foyt were in the back of the grid due to poor first heat results. After just 10 laps Hall and Foyt were back in the fray. Hall led Foyt followed by McLaren, Penske and Pabst. Gurney once again had to retire due to transmission troubles.
Penske was eliminated by fuel problems. Foyt's race ended with a flat tire. With two laps to go, Hall's engine blew, allowing McLaren to take the checkered flag in a total two-heat time of 2:07:42.2 and average speed of 92.51 mph.
Top finishing Canadian, in fifth overall, was Ludwig Heimrath in a Cooper Ford, the eventual winner of the 1964 Canadian Driver's Championship.
In the June 8 Globe and Mail, sports writer Dick Beddoes wrote "Juan Fangio, the Argentine hero once said, 'The ideal way to drive is at the slowest speed required to win.' That's how Bruce McLaren of New Zealand won the Player's 200: careful, considerate of his Cooper-Olds, a driver who prefers to finish a race rather than wreck a car."
McLaren is quoted as saying, "To do something well is so worthwhile that to die trying to do it better cannot be foolhardy. It would be a waste of life to do nothing with one's ability, for I feel that life is measured in achievement, not on years alone."
McLaren would die tragically in 1970 at the age of 33 while testing a McLaren CanAm car in England. McLaren's legacy carries on through the Bruce McLaren Trust in Auckland, New Zealand and in the McLaren Formula One Racing Team.
Life is, indeed, measured in achievement.
In the days before big stadiums, the sports event to be at on June 6, 1964 was the Players 200 at Mosport, having fun and making history.

Dan McNally Joins Men's Soccer Coaching Staff
Feb. 4, 2013
CINCINNATI – University of Cincinnati men's soccer head coach Hylton Dayes announced on Monday the addition of Dan McNally to the coaching staff. McNally will take on the role as assistant coach after spending eight seasons as the head coach at NCAA Div. II Montana State University-Billings.
"We are very pleased to have Dan join our coaching staff" said Dayes. "He is an excellent coach with a tremendous background in the game. He has done a fantastic job building the program at MSU- Billings. He has shown a commitment to the total development of the student-athlete which is in line with our philosophy here at UC. Dan also has an excellent track record of recruiting high level student-athletes which will help us achieve our goal of competing for a Big East Championship."
McNally had an overall coaching record of 71-63-10 in eight years at the helm of the Yellowjacket program and led the team to five winning seasons. He finishes his tenure at MSUB as the all-time leader in coaching wins and the only MSUB men's soccer coach to record a winning season in the 17-year history of the program.
Prior to his stint at MSUB, McNally spent four years as an assistant coach at NCAA DII Nova Southeastern University in Ft. Lauderdale, Fla., where his responsibilities included recruiting, fundraising, coordinating travel and coaching.
"Dan McNally is one of the brightest young coaching minds in the country at any level" said Joe DePalo, head coach at Nova Southeastern University. "He has already proven to be one of the top head coaches in Division II by taking a program which was in relative obscurity and taking it to regional and national prominence.
"Coach Dayes and his staff have pulled off a nice coup by adding Dan to their staff" DePalo added. The University of Cincinnati is getting not only a great coach and teacher with a lot of experience and expertise, but an equally outstanding individual with real values who it will be proud to call one of its own"
McNally spent his playing days at NAIA Embry-Riddle Aeronautical University in Daytona Beach, Fla., from 1996-99.
"It's a real honor to be given the opportunity to work for the men's soccer program at the University of Cincinnati" said McNally. "I'm really looking forward to working with head coach Hylton Dayes and all of his coaching staff and student athletes. The facilities the athletics program has are first class and it will be a privilege to come to work every day in the athletics department.
"My wife and I, along with our 2 year old son, are looking forward to moving down to Cincinnati. My ambition has always been to coach at the NCAA D1 level and I can't wait to get started."
"I think Dan is a great fit for UC" said Dayes. "We look forward to having him, his wife Jennifer and son Liam as a part of the Cincinnati family."

"We are delighted that our Fall for Dance season will once again open with two free performances at the Delacorte Theater in Central Park.

Ieremia draws from his Samoan and New Zealand roots to create innovative dance works that reach across social, cultural and generational barriers. The work itself is highly physical, rich in the storytelling traditions of the South Pacific and expressed with raw finesse, unique beauty and power. The company features some of New Zealand's finest dancers and has toured internationally.

Chagaev Press Conference!
Photos: Universum Box-Promotion
Click the photo to go to the next photo
After the WBA heavyweight world championship was surprisingly called off over the weekend in Helsinki, WBA champion Ruslan Chagaev's promoter Universum Box-Promotion held a press conference at the InterContinental Hotel in Hamburg. Universum chief Klaus-Peter Kohl, Chagaev, German Federation (BDB) President Bodo Eckmann, Dr. Michael Ehnert (Chagaev's doctor) and Dr. Heiner Wedemeyer of the German Liver Foundation spoke to reporters.
"Ruslan Chagaev is completely healthy according to the documents. I don't follow the interpretation of my colleague from the Finnish lab," said Dr Wedemeyer, who is one of the experts of the Hepatitis B in Europe and who contacted Universum independently. "It was probably done more for legal protection rather than scientific facts. There is no infectivity and Ruslan Chagaev would have without a doubt boxed for the third time [since his recovery] without danger. Mr. Chagaev has a completely normal liver function and is not considered to be ill, he is merely a bearer of the hepatitis B antigen. The German Liver Foundation will soon be issuing a separate press announcement in regard to this state of affairs. To us this is a very important subject. "
Wedemeyer, further urged all athletes to exclude the risk of contracting hepatitis with vaccinations. "We at the Liver Foundation say that every athlete should inoculate themselves against hepatitis and we have already carried out this initiative with the German Olympic team in 2008."
Chagaev's personal physician Dr. Michael Ehnert, from the Asklepios Klinik Hamburg-St.Georg stated, "The blood tests of Ruslan Chagaev during the last years have always remained constant, the same as they were in the 2007 fight against Nikolai Valuev under Sauerland supervision. The results from Finland do not differ from those from Germany. There is no reason that Ruslan can't box."
Klaus-Peter Kohl angerly lashed out at the incident in Helsinki. "Valuev is the biggest and heaviest heavyweight in the world and he is the biggest and heaviest coward in the world. He's not only afraid of Ruslan, but also of a small prick from a vaccination needle which would give him 100% safety in his sport. One small prick for an active or passive vaccination would have been enough after the fight. He can shoot wild boars and bears, but he avoids a tiny prick? That's why he got out with a dirty trick. He could have turned to an expert, so therefore from my view there are other reasons why this fight was called off. We will call to account the people responsible for this cancellation, but first we want to wait for the decision of the WBA at the end of the week and then weigh the judicial steps. The Finnish Federation is a small federation and this situation probably demanded too much. But Sauerland has been a promoter for a long time, longer than me, and he must make sure the rules are properly implemented. To me this is a big scandal."
Kohl also expressed surprise that Dr Walter Wagner, the usual ring doctor used in Sauerland Event cards was not used in this promotion.
"Walter told me that he has been rejected because he doesn't speak Finnish. It's strange that Sauerland for the first time abroad doesn't use the Austrian Federation supervision, but transfers the supervision to the small, inexperienced Finnish Federation. Otherwise, as in all important Sauerland Event promotions, Walter Wagner would have been the responsible ring doctor."
BDB President Bodo Eckmann commented that there were "many formal errors, which would have been avoided because the German Federation offered help to the Finnish Association far in advance of the event. For example, with the situation at the scale the time ended up elapsing to call off a fight. I can assure that under our supervision this fight would have taken place."
Kohl added, "Before the fight Universum Box-Promotion had at no time received a written request for further blood tests. Then after the first rumors, without being asked, we had another one done ourselves. This test had the same values as ones in preceding years. Merely the interpretation by a Finnish lab doctor was out of line. We and the Federations have known Ruslan's blood count for many years. We have continually tested Ruslan to avoid any residual risk, and also for his sparring partners. We do not act frivolously. I think that each athlete should be vaccinated. But in any event, the fight would have been rescued if Valuev would have done this postfight vaccination or if Sauerland Event had quickly transferred the responsibility for supervision to the very experienced Austrian or German federations."
Universum general manager Stefan Braune said "According to WBA rules a committee of three well-known doctors would meet and reach a decision. In Helsinki this didn't happen. This is a clear breach against the guidelines of the WBA."
WBA world champion Ruslan Chagaev stated, "After my Achilles tendon tear, Sauerland called me a faker. I was quiet because I thought it would be better to prove him wrong in the ring. This was handled very dirty and they have taken the fight from me. One cannot treat me in such a way. Everything was out there for weeks and they could have informed me of any doubt. Then on Friday there was a knock on the hotel door when I was already sleeping. My whole world collapsed. The behavior of Sauerland is not understandable. Two years ago the values were just like today and nobody at that time said anything. I will act against everybody who spreads lies about my health. I am healthy and can box. I will take on everybody."

There are many species of Australian native fruits, such as Quandong (native peach), Wattleseed, Muntries/Munthari berry, Illawarra plums, Riberry, Native Raspberries and Lilli pillies.These usually fall under the category of "bush tucker", (bush foods), which are used more commonly in restaurants and used in commercial preserves and pickles but are not generally well known to Australians due to low availability. Australia also has large fruit growing regions in most states for tropical fruits in the north, stone fruits and temperate fruits in the south which has a mediterranean or temperate climate. The Granny Smith variety of apples first originated in Sydney, Australia in 1868. Another well known Australian apple variety is the Cripps Pink, known locally and internationally as "Pink Lady" apples, which was first cultivated in 1973.
Fruit is widely used in Australian cuisine however is consumed mostly in its fresh, rather than cooked form with the successful "2 fruit and 5 veg" campaign for healthy portions per day. In terms of cooked fruit dishes, fruits are often eaten poached in sugar syrup (often with spices such as vanilla, cloves or citrus peel) and eaten as a breakfast or dessert, which is more common amongst older Australians, or baked in dishes such as apple crumble, pies, pastries and cakes. Fresh fruit is often consumed simply without any adulteration at any time of day, or combined in fruit salad, which is a popular summer dessert nationally.
Popular and commonly available fruits produced in Australia are typically: apples, banana, kiwi fruit, oranges and other citrus, mangoes (seasonally), pears, nectarines, plums, apricots, grapes, melons, pawpaw, papaya, pineapple, passionfruit and berry fruits (such as strawberries, raspberries etc.). Other fruits tend not to be widely cultivated due to the plant requiring climate or soil conditions that are not cost effective or the plant species is not well known to the general market.
As these fruits tend to be available in most supermarkets across the nation (seasonally) with large chain supermarkets often providing free recipe cards and recipes online, there are few areas with a distinctly local manner of preparing, cooking & serving fruit dishes that are not found in other Australian states.

By BETH ALTENA
Jeremy Amshey is a life-long Rockford resident and couldn't be more thrilled to be the project manager in charge of building the Art Van Sports Complex on Ten Mile Road, an endeavor that he characterized as "the biggest thing to happen to Rockford since they built the dam."
Owen Ames Kimball is the main contractor working on the 80-acre site, a huge property which will doubtless have a huge impact on Rockford over the years. He was among staff that invited the media, including the Squire newspaper, on a tour to see how the construction is going.
"We are ahead of schedule and right on budget," Amshey said of the $10 million dollar construction. The sports complex is a project that came to be under the cooperation of local government, the West Michigan Sports Commission and sponsors, such as Art Van Furniture, which ponied up $1.8 for naming rights to the field an additional cash to build a handicap accessible playground at the Nate Hurwitz Miracle Field, named after a young man who loved the game and was on the board of the West Michigan Miracle Field organization.
Although the project has fundamentally changed the property of the hilly terrain in order to make level land for the future 12 baseball/softball fields, passers-by the Ten Mile Road site still need to use their imagination to get a feel for the final result when play begins in 2015. "We've moved more than 500,000 cubic yards of dirt, and they all have stayed on site," Amshey said of the challenges of developing the property.
Imagination is less required to imaging the economic impact the sports facility will have on the town of Rockford, however. It is already happening.
"Twenty six bidders were awarded contracts with multiple subcontractors and suppliers under each of the 26 contracts," he stated of the frenzy of activitiy going on now. "All but two of the companies awarded work are local West Michigan companies. The number of employees on site varies from day to day but each company has an average of ten workers on site throughout the project." Amshey went on to point out that many of the workers are Rockford natives like himself, and many of them have kids who attend Rockford Public Schools. He said at any given time there may be fifty workers on the site.
It is not known how much traffic the complex will bring, but the West Michigan Sports Commission has a proven track record of doing its job well. Nominated by the Grand Rapids Business Journal as one of 2012s Top Ten Newsmakers of the Year, the organization brought in 60 sporting events with thousands of participants and an estimated $26 million to this region last year.
Rockford's job will be to make sure visitors to the complex know the gem of a town that is just down the road, since folks from out of town may not know the city is so close, so pleasant, and so ready and welcome for visitors. "You can't see Rockford from here," Amshey observed from the driveway of the complex.
The ball fields will see play begin on the Miracle Field this September, because the artificial turf surface, unlike grass, does not need to age one year before use. The rest of Phase One will include the championship field, a lighted, fenced field, grassed infields, restrooms and limited concessions, covered dugouts, grandstand covered seating for 1,000, a public address system, video capabilities and a scoreboard and foul ball netting.
Also in Phase One, ready in 2015, will be quad one—three lighted, fenced fields, grassed infields with stationary mounds, bleacher seating (one hundred seats per side, per field), and dedicated space for the Miracle Field. Quad three will have the same amenities as quad two but will have four fields and no Miracle Field.
Visitors will enter the complex through the long drive and pass under the Art Van canopy to the parking lot with space for 500 cars. The fields are all to be lighted so play can extend into the evening hours—an American classic experience of watching ball as the night darkens. Amshey said the construction will actually be completed for Phase One this fall, but the grass on new ballfields has to season one year, so play will start in 2015.
"It's going to bring a lot of people not only to Rockford but to West Michigan," he said. Economic impact should be impressive. "Uccello's bought Sam's Joint because of it." He said the project includes the planting of more than 250 trees, multiple shrubs and perennials. Over all there will be 12,000 linear feet of fencing installed around the fields—the job is a very big deal.
Amshey said Owen Ames Kimball was not discouraged by the amount of dirt that had to be moved to make the site just right. "It all stayed here, we call that a balanced site." He said the many elevations on the property give it character and depth. He also said the most important component of the project is to make sure the drainage is correct as playing ball on a soggy field is no fun.
Watching the Miracle Field surface go in will be one of the next steps for the construction, grading the ballfield, bringing in asphalt and letting it settle and then installing the rubberized surface. The amenities will include the handicap accessible playground and family bathrooms so kids that need help don't have to go it alone.
Amshey said it is a breathtaking feeling to be hands-on part of the entire complex, which will abut property slated for an Olympic-style archery complex, a BMX (motorless) bike racing course and sledding hill. Already in use is an amazing mountain biking course accessible through the drive just north of the North Kent Transfer Station driveway. Everything will be available to the public.
And the uses will likely grow once the field is in place—perhaps there will be winter events, besides sledding. "Once it's up I'm sure there will be all kinds of possibilities."
Amshey said he has been project manager for myriad jobs for Owen Ames Kimball in Rockford over the years, especially the work for Rockford Public Schools where he graduated and where his wife now works as an assistant principal. He said he thinks all construction is exciting because every day is different and because of all the different people involved through different contractors.
"I'm excited that Owen Ames Kimball is part of this," Amshey stated. "I'm so excited to be part of this. You have no idea."

Vermont Yankee still at 25 percent power as repairs continue
Vermont Yankee nuclear plant remains at only 25 percent power today in the wake of discovery of problems in cooling towers and continued low flow of its water source --- the Connecticut River.
On Friday, the plant's operators reported a leak in a pipe in one of its cooling towers. Plant officials later said that investigation revealed problems in the other tower. Those problems included broken or degraded pipe brackets on five so-called saddles that support the main pipe that brings river water to the top of the tower.
Both towers remained out of service today.
As a result, spokesman Rob Williams says, power - which had been reduced to 47 percent after Friday night's incident - had to be reduced further Saturday because of low river flow. The reduction in power allows Vermont Yankee to stay within the limits of its river water temperature discharge permit.
Last August, a cooling tower cell collapsed in a shower of wood, water and debris.
Williams says it's unknown how long it'll be before repairs are done and the plant restored to full power.

7 Worst things about being a stay at home mom
Many years before having a child or even being sure that I would ever have a child, I was pretty sure that I would never be a stay at home mom. Part of it was because I was raised by a single mom and she had no choice but to work, so I imagined that if I ever had kids, I would work outside of the home too. Then, I had my first kid and working outside of the home full-time wasn't an option because, quite frankly, we could not afford the cost of childcare. It simply wasn't worth it, so I stayed home and I found that I like it a lot. Now, even though I like it that doesn't mean it doesn't have some ugly parts.
Read more ¿Qué más?: 5 Pieces of advice from Mami you should always listen to
Here are the 7 worst things about being a stay at home mom:
1. Doors are useless. You may as well get rid of the doors inside your home because they are for privacy and you will be getting none of that. Get used to pooping with an audience because that's how the toilet rolls now.
2. Everything is a huge ordeal. You need to go to the corner store because you ran out of something. Good luck with that, it's going to take you like two hours just to get out of the house because you've got to get your kid ready, put them in a stroller, strap them in, make sure they are warm enough, then right before you are about to leave, they are going to have a massive poop that comes out the back of their diaper and now you've got to give them a bath and start all over.
3. You never get to eat a real meal. You will eat scraps of whatever you can find because when your kids are young, they aren't really into you taking sit down meal breaks, that doesn't work for them.
4. You will forget to get dressed. You wake up with every intention of getting out of your pajamas, but one diaper leads to another and before you know it it's bedtime and why bother changing into a fresh pair of pajamas at the point?
5. You live for naps. You look forward to your child's naps because for a few precious moments, you can think. Like really think about anything you like.
6. Delivery people are your best friends. You order things online because it is easier than going to the store, but it doesn't hurt that when the package gets delivered you get to talk to another adult for a whole 30 seconds. You try not to act too excited.
7. Your baby daddy doesn't get it. If you have a partner who works outside the home, you eagerly await their return so that you can hand the child off for the first time ALL day, then when he gets home he has the nerve to say, "Hold up a minute, I just got home from work. Let me relax for a second." You will want to rip his tongue out of his mouth and make him swallow it because you know beyond a shadow of a doubt that going to work outside of the home is infinitely more relaxing than staying home with your child all day.

From Our Amigos
What would you add to the list?
@Vee, the post is not called "The totality of being a stay at home mom, it is called "7 Worst things about being a stay at home mom." Meaning I am focusing on the "worst" parts. I am not missing the beauty of motherhood, I am blessed to be able to stay at home with my kids. I also have a sense of humor about the whole thing. Just because a mom complains doesn't mean that she doesn't see the beauty or rewards in what she is doing. Look at the list for crying out loud, they aren't "real" problems, they are inconveniences. It's okay to have a sense of humor about motherhood and it's okay to vent about some of the issues we all go through. The post is not about hating being a stay at home mom, it's about letting other stay at home moms know that I understand what they go through and that this is a safe place to share because heaven forbid a mother ever complain anywhere without having to say, "but of course it's all worth it." No, duh! Yes, we know it's all worth it, do we really always have to put that as a disclaimer before and after every conversation about the parts of being a mother that aren't sheer bliss?

I guess investors are pretty much in a giving mood this Christmas week as three companies – Elevance, LS9 and Cereplast – announced influx of funding yesterday and today.
France oil firm Total is steadily expanding its renewable chemicals investment, first with Amyris and now its venture firm Total Energy Ventures has acquired stakes in US-based Elevance.
Elevance announced yesterday that it has raised $100m in its Series C financing round from Total and Luxembourg-based Naxos Capital Partners joining Elevance's investors TPG Biotech and TPG Growth in the financing.
Total did not disclose how much stake in Elevance it has acquired but instead noted that the investment will help support Elevance's ongoing development particularly plans to build additional facilities. Elevance is currently building its first facility in Indonesia in joint venture with oleochemical company Wilmar. The company plans to expand and create biorefineries in Asia, North and South America.
Total said it will have a seat on Elevance's board of directors.
Meanwhile, LS9′s newly appointed CEO Ed Dineen, formerly COO of LyondellBassell, was able to work fast in raising $30m with BlackRock leading the investment round. Previous investors such as Flagship Ventures, Khosla Ventures, Lightspeed Venture Partners and CTTV Investments (the venture capital arm of Chevron Technology Ventures) also joined in.
LS9 said the latest funding will be used to advance the company's product commercialization as well as support R&D.
Cereplast was able to secure $5m from Horizon Technology Finance Corp., which according to Cereplast CEO Frederic Scheer, will be used to purchase additional raw materials as well as for working capital needed to meet growing demand for its bioplastic.
Cereplast received an initial installment of $2.5 million with an additional $2.5 million to be funded during its 2011 first quarter ending March 31, 2011, pending reaching certain revenue targets for January and February of 2011. Each $2.5 million installment carries a term of 39 months from the date of funding with interest of 12 percent.

Early start to US Black Friday shopping frenzy
The US shopping frenzy known as Black Friday kicked off at a more civilised hour, with shoppers welcoming decisions by retailers such as Target Corp. and Toys R Us Inc. to move their openings to Thursday night.
They also seemed to show little concern that the US economy could be pushed over a 'fiscal cliff', if a combination of tax hikes and spending cuts take effect in January. Some economists fear that could lead to another recession.
Yet the National Retail Federation expects sales during the holiday season to grow 4.1 per cent this year.
The stakes are high for US retailers, who can earn more than one-third of their annual sales and 40 to 50 per cent of their profits during the holiday season, which generally starts with Black Friday.
"I think spending is better for the economy. I think you should spend. If you save all your money that will only make it worse," said Saiful Islam, 21, a New York accounting student who stood in line at Best Buy to purchase a variety of gadgets. "The line is bad, but the deals are good."
According to a Reuters/Ipsos poll, two-thirds of shoppers were planning to spend the same amount of money as last year or were unsure about plans, while 21 per cent intended to spend less, and 11 per cent planned to spend more.
Across the country, store lines were long though the move toward earlier opening hours appeared to have helped. By sunrise on Friday, it was commonplace, even at large stores in the major cities, to find many more staffers than shoppers.
While the shift was denounced by store employees and traditionalists because it pulled people away from families on the US Thanksgiving holiday, many shoppers welcomed the chance to shop before midnight or in the early morning hours.
Others were not as happy with an earlier Black Friday. A petition asking Target to "save Thanks-giving" had 371,606 supporters as of Thursday afternoon.
Some workers used the day to send a message.
OUR Walmart – a coalition of current and former Wal-Mart staff seeking better wages, benefits and working conditions – has staged months of protests outside stores and targeted 'Black Friday' for action across the country.
In Chicago, four busloads of protesters, including some Walmart workers, showed up at a store on the city's South Side for a 7am protest.
The crowd chanted "Walmart, Walmart you're no good, treat your workers like you should!" though their activities did not appear to deter shoppers.
The National Retail Federation said 147 million people would shop yesterday through Sunday, when deals are at their most eye-catching – down from 152 million the same weekend last year.
