For the second day in a row, state senators engaged in a snippy debate on Thursday over whether the state is giving too many benefits to military families.
This time it was over HB263, a bill to give unemployment benefits to people who quit jobs to follow military spouses who are transferred out of state. The bill ended up passing 23-6, and was sent to Gov. Gary Herbert for his signature.
But it came after a few senators attacked it, saying members of the military have plenty of benefits and knew when they volunteered that their families may need to relocate.
One of the opponents was Senate Majority Leader Scott Jenkins, R-Plain City, who on Wednesday also testily opposed a bill, which passed, to waive property taxes on residences of military members who are deployed out of state.
He said then that soldiers receive "all kinds of breaks. We pay for their clothing. We allow them to shop at the PX [post exchange]. And now ... you want me to pay for their taxes on their primary residence. I'm just saying enough." It led Democratic gubernatorial candidate Peter Cooke, a retired major general, to attack Jenkins for insensitivity.
Sen. Casey Anderson, R-Cedar City, led the charge on Thursday against the unemployment bill including suggesting some military spouses might try to obtain jobs just before a transfer so they could enjoy unemployment benefits shortly thereafter.
He said he talked to relatives and friends in the military who said, "We knew what we were getting into when we signed up, and even if I have to quit my job to follow my husband, there's no way I would file a claim for unemployment benefits." He said it could set precedence for offering similar benefits for other federal employees who are transferred.
After Jenkins said the bill would bring little benefit to Utah National Guard members and would help only full-time military members who likely moved here from elsewhere, Sen. Karen Mayne, D-West Valley City, said, "When our good soldiers join the military they do not swear allegiance to each state, they have an allegiance to the United States of America."
Mayne, the Senate sponsor of the bill, said Utah is one of only 10 states that has not allowed military spouses to collect unemployment benefits for moves caused by transfers.
"Sometimes the non-military spouse is the main wage-earner," so transfers cause extra burden on military families, she said. Mayne added that state officials expect that "only a handful of people would ever use this per year."
Sen. Stuart Reid, R-Ogden, a former military chaplain, said most spouses of enlisted people must work "because our government doesn't pay them enough to provide for the household. ... Many of them are on food stamps, but they are willing to serve and thank God that they are."
He called the unemployment benefits for spouses "a minor contribution to those families that are in tremendous stress in every way."

Driver crashes, dies trying to pass car on Highway 70
OROVILLE, Calif. - A Siskiyou County man was killed in a rollover crash on Highway 70 Thursday night in Butte County
The CHP said 22-year-old Aaron Murray of Montague was killed in the crash at 9:15 p.m. just south of Oroville.
According to the CHP, Murray was driving southbound in a 1995 Chevy S-10 pickup on Highway 70 near Ophir Road, when he tried to pass another car. His pickup clipped the Kia Sorento he was passing and went out of control. The pickup went down an embankment and rolled over several times.
Murray was pronounced dead at the scene. A passenger, 22 year old Dustin Harper of Siskiyou County had minor injuries. The CHP said both were wearing seatbelts.
The Sorento was driven by 47-year-old Rachelle Channel of Marysville. Neither she nor passenger Steve Channel, 61, were injured.
Investigators say alcohol may have been a factor in the crash.
Anyone who witnessed the collision is encouraged to contact the Oroville CHP at (530) 538-2700.

But of all these biases, mumbling is the subtle, underappreciated one.
And as one of the few successful, black marquee designers in the industry, there are also biases to be overcome.
"Managers, like all humankind, may be prey to biases of which they are unaware," wrote Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg.
But it quickly becomes clear how their biases so blind them that they fail to ask far more critical questions.
At its worst, The Stranger merely recycles the biases, conventional wisdom, and cynical bitterness of inside-the-beltway habitués.
biases that had held one another in check now, temporarily at least, reinforce one another, and constitute a unified attitude.
The biases are all right; the sleeves will want altering, Miss Scudder.
The biases which may operate upon him will not be so likely to extend to the representatives of the people in that body.
Pray look at the thing reasonably a moment, laying aside all biases of education and custom.
Some things enter by way of the imagination, stimulated by emotional preferences and biases.

It became a noun in Old French. "[A] technical term in the game of bowls, whence come all the later uses of the word" [OED]. Transferred sense of "predisposition, prejudice" is from 1570s in English.
For what a man had rather were true he more readily believes. Therefore he rejects difficult things from impatience of research; sober things, because they narrow hope; the deeper things of nature, from superstition; the light of experience, from arrogance and pride, lest his mind should seem to be occupied with things mean and transitory; things not commonly believed, out of deference to the opinion of the vulgar. Numberless in short are the ways, and sometimes imperceptible, in which the affections colour and infect the understanding. [Francis Bacon, "Novum Organum," 1620]

cdbertrand's slow build thread.
Hey guys
, some of you have seen me around. bought my ZX3 about a month and a half ago and fell in love with it. some say it was a downgrade from my previous ride, a 1999 Infiniti Q45t. she was a beauty and had the power to match. all leather all power sun roof heated seats and a huge ass v8 with 300hp. rear wheel drive i could roast the tires off with, and did. but with the v8 comes the gas mileage and with my heavy foot it was even worse. 14 mpg was kicking my ass. i also blew something in the heads and it was down to 6 cylinders and the japanese motor is hard to work on and expensive to replace. so i sold it for more than i bought it for haha. here's a few pics of her. this thread will progress with my focus and a very slow pace since i'm a full time college student and have 1 job, but hopefully will pick up during the summer. here's pics of my old baby and my new one, thanks for looking and I am always looking for sugestions and welcome all comments good and bad.
bone stock took it mudding haha nothing at all done to it yet.
discovered PlastiDip and went right to work. did my center caps and gas cap.
finally got the time to do my whole wheels and decided to paint my brakes as well.
after that i put my E3 spark plugs in which boosts my mileage pretty decently but no power gain i can feel.
put my new sony xplod dash unit in
debadged it, just gotta get that damn sticker off.
and just saturday night took my gf to prom in my freshly cleaned foci.
and me with my car, kinda a close up.
this is all for now, not much progress but its getting there. more to come soon. next upgrades will be sony xplod 12" subs, a K&N cai, and a magnaflow catback. just need the money of course haha.

With proceeds benefiting the Michael Breschi Scholarship Fund, a near-capacity crowd was on hand to watch Ohio State and North Carolina play to an 11-11 tie using experimental rules.
The highlight of a remarkable day took place before the first whistle, with Calvert Hall head coach Bryan Kelly (a teammate of Breschi's at UNC) saying a few words about Breschi's son, Michael, who was tragically killed in an unfortunate incident in 2004 during the family's stint in Ohio. One of the 3-year-old's favorite phrases was 'thumbs up', so Kelly asked that all of those in attendance lift their thumbs in the air towards Michael for thirty seconds in silence. Awesome moment.
It was a family affair on Sunday afternoon - Ohio State head coach Nick Myers is the older brother of North Carolina offensive coordinator Pat Myers. The elder Myers also spent several years under Breschi as an assistant at Ohio State, and considers him his mentor. This was the first year the two teams scrimmaged, they had annually played at the start of the regular season. Ohio State won that contest last year, 13-8.
The experimental rules put in place for this past weekend were collectively broken down with coaches' quotes in this piece, and in an article earlier in the week by Mark Dixon. Just to sum it up, both sides in this one seemed pretty content with how the rules worked out, with the shot clock and the subbing rule being the ones that made a big impact.
Note - I kept stats myself, so they are all unofficial so bear with me here, I've never been known for my math prowess. Decent chance that I may have missed a point or two.
-I came away extremely impressed with the Buckeyes' senior backline, which consisted of 2011 ECAC Defensive Player of the Year Matt Kawamato along with Joe Bonanni and Keenan Ochwat. In particular, Bonanni looked outstanding getting the ball off the carpet and in clears.
Whenever a team can disrupt an offense as stacked as the Tar Heels', it's a great sign. Although it's just a scrimmage, I'd say the OSU defense could be among the top in the country next year with yet another year under their belts. It will be key for them, however, to find strong defensive depth.
-Dominique Alexander (2g) was arguably the most impressive member of the Buckeyes' offense, thriving when dodging the alleys. The junior scored on the first and third quarters, with the latter being a well-placed shot with velocity into the top left of the net. He's fairly imposing and super athletic, and has come a long way.
-Among other standout performances on offense came from Reegan Comeault (2 goals) and Nick Diegel (1g, 1a). Comeault, a freshman from British Columbia, will step in and immediately make a big impact at attack with the departure of second leading scorer Jeff Tundo, now at Stony Brook. Fellow countryman Logan Schuss (1a) had a beautiful feed to Adam Trombley in the third quarter.
-A large part of the reason that Ohio State never trailed in this scrimmage was the goalie play by sophomore Greg Dutton, playing on his old high school stomping grounds.
Dutton saw the ball well for the most part, perhaps letting in an outside shot or two that he could've snagged, but overall doing a superb job. He only made one mistake in the clear, which ultimately resulted in a goal by UNC's Thomas Wood. Rangy freshman Cameron Stephens stepped in as the relief in the fourth quarter. While Stephens is more of a 'stay at home' type goalie (although I'm sure he can lay someone out with that size), Dutton can really run the field.
-The Buckeyes were able to thwart R.G. Keenan's efforts at the X, using sophomore Shawn Kaplan and junior Trey Wilkes effectively. With Wilkes occasionally taking wings as well, Ohio State was able to do a good job scrapping for the ball against an All-American FOGO that is known for winning draws cleanly.
-One of the biggest questions consistently asked in the past year or so was how the Tar Heels were effectively going to showcase all of their offensive talent, especially at attack. A pair of excellent transfers in Jack McBride (Princeton) and Davey Emala (Georgetown) entered the fold, as did freshmen Joey Sankey and Jimmy Bitter, both top 10 recruits.
Both Emala and McBride ran out of the midfield on several occasions. When they were out there, the offense looked strong. It will be key that the Tar Heels get their d-middies healthy - while those two transfers are exceptional talents offensively, they shouldn't be playing defense.
Besides that, there's Thomas Wood, Pat Foster, Nicky Galasso and Marcus Holman. Foster and Holman will likely run at the midfield again this year. The Tar Heels were without sophomore middies Ryan Creighton and Duncan Hutchins on Sunday, as well as d-middie Mark McNeill, a member of UNC's football team.
Once the chemistry is down, though, the UNC offense will be insanely dangerous. The Tar Heels are about ten practices in, and Breschi noted that that has been a focus.
-Finishing with one goal and two assists, Bitter could have been the strongest offensive player out there on Sunday afternoon. He played with a ton of confidence - the way he dodged from X made him look like he's been at the DI level for more than a year. At one point in the third quarter, Bitter made a Buckeye longpole fall down on the wing with his slippery dodging.
Freshmen Joey Sankey and Walker Chafee, among others, got significant time as well. Those two former Under Armour All-Americans were on the Tar Heels' man up unit, along with Wood, Holman, Galasso and Foster.
-Defensively, the Tar Heels' three starters - Charlie McComas (shoulder), Jordan Smith (calf) and Mark Staines (quad) were on the sidelines nursing injuries. It looks like those three will all miss the fall as a precaution.
"There are some injuries from the previous season, so we played four freshmen on defense," Breschi said. "Our d-middies were all inexperienced as well so we knew coming in that we had to get a lot of guys experience and playing time. That's what we're going to take from it - they got their feet wet."
Freshmen Ryan Kilpatrick, Dane Dickey, Jake Bailey and Brian Sullivan all got a ton of experience, with none standing out more than the others. They no doubt struggled at times, but that's to be expected this early. Sophomore Connor Hunt and junior Will 'Boom' Leighton-Armah (rocking #99 this year) both played a good amount as well.
-Redshirt junior goalie Steven Rastivo probably made about a dozen saves in the first half, despite going down 3-0 in the first six minutes. He showcased his unbelievably quick hands, making some pretty special saves on the doorstep in the three quarters he was in. His consistency will be a priority going forward. Junior Matt Holman got the nod in the fourth quarter and only let in one goal, while the Tar Heels netted six in the final stanza.
-Final scoring for the Tar Heels (unofficial, of course): Galasso 3g, Wood 2g, Bitter 1g/2a, McBride 1g/2a, Dunster 2g, Morton 1g, Emala 1g
A few other midfielders that caught my eye were Dunster, sophomore T.J. Kemp and freshmen Derek Henson and Joe Costigan. Henson sort of came out of nowhere this fall (he was a semi-late bloomer in high school) and made a strong impact yesterday demonstrating his motor, while Costigan looked good on the wings and had a big hit in the fourth quarter that drew a strong reaction from the Tar Heels bench.

Thrifty Times is a Boston-based zine about and inspired by the art of thrift shopping.
Some articles are directly about thrifting, such as thrift store reviews, a guide to thrifty gifting, or thrifty tips about how to repurpose commonly thrifted items. Other articles are more indirectly related to thrifting, such retro craft projects or vintage recipes culled from thrifted magazines or books. Thrifty Times also includes reviews of thrifted record albums, video games, CDs, and books. You may find the occasional piece of thrift-related fiction or artwork, as well. Most issues contain a page of original (hilarious) comic strips by Nick Burgess.
Thrifty Times is created with the use of a typewriter, rubber stamps, stickers, clip art, pens, and cut and pasted images. No computers!

Ukraine tensions knock back European equities
* Traders cite concerns over escalating Ukraine tension
* Euro STOXX Volatility Index rises by around 10 pct
* FTSEurofirst 300 down 0.9 pct
* Euro STOXX 50 falls 1.1 pct
* February equity market rally starting to stall
By Sudip Kar-Gupta
LONDON, Feb 27 (Reuters) - Escalating political tension in Ukraine pushed European stock markets lower on Thursday, putting a brake on this month's rally and causing market volatility to rise.
The pan-European FTSEurofirst 300 index, which rebounded in February to approach its highest level since May 2008, fell 0.9 percent to 1,336.77 points in early session trading, adding to a 0.2 percent dip on Wednesday caused by a fall in luxury goods and financial stocks.
The problems in Ukraine have highlighted a broader slump in emerging markets economies this year, which impacted equity markets in January and have hit the earnings of companies - such as luxury goods groups - exposed to those regions. Continuación...

text: CHICAGO, Dec. 18, 2012 /PRNewswire/ -- The areas where life sciences companies locate their facilities, commonly called industry clusters, are shifting worldwide as these companies respond to rising demand for new drugs in Asia and Latin America, significant patent expirations and the need for increased R&D productivity and innovation. According to Jones Lang LaSalle's second annual Global Life Sciences Cluster Report, which will be broadly distributed in January 2013, life sciences companies are choosing cities where they can capture market opportunities for sales, drive R&D productivity and optimize operations. With downward pricing pressure and the need to control facility costs, life sciences companies are making calculated and strategic decisions for their facilities investments. The historical dynamic of mature-market R&D discovery vs. offshoring lower-value operations is slowly evolving as emerging markets increasingly drive consumer demand. "Major life sciences companies are optimizing their real estate and location strategies to be prepared for patent expirations – as well as to capture market opportunity in the Asia Pacific and Latin American regions," said Bill Barrett, Executive Managing Director, Life Sciences at Jones Lang LaSalle. "Strategic facilities investments have become critical to keeping a tight rein on costs while continuing to find success through R&D investment and new drug discovery.'" While every regional cluster is unique, the interplay at a global level reveals clear trends separating mature versus emerging markets. Established life sciences clusters in mature markets are being driven by R&D success and proven innovation, while the potential for significant sales growth continues to push expansion in Asia Pacific and Latin America. Evolving Consumer Demand Drivers Focus on Emerging Markets Rising demand in emerging markets is driving more than sales offices; manufacturing and drug development operations are thriving as well, as clusters in emerging economies strive to move up the value chain while capturing local consumer demand, particularly in the Asia Pacific and Latin American regions. By 2016, China is expected to leapfrog ahead of Japan and become second only to the United States as the world's largest pharmaceuticals market. Healthcare expenditure is growing rapidly as a percentage of GDP not only in China, but also in India and Indonesia—countries in which increased spending on public healthcare is widening the prospective patient pool and increasing consumer demand. Four of the largest pharmaceutical companies already earn a third of their revenues outside their traditional markets of the United States, Western Europe and Japan. Emerging clusters in Asia Pacific and Latin America have long been destinations for clinical trials, manufacturing and distribution by multinational companies, which continue to make significant facilities investments in these regions. Despite increased affluence, for example, India continues to shine as a location for cost-effective clinical trials. Despite the erosion of its cost advantage by rising wages and other factors, China also remains a very cost-effective site for R&D. In Beijing, for example, a global pharmaceutical company has launched a five-year $1.5 billion project to build a new facility to house 600 researchers focused on drug discovery and translational research, taking advantage of nearby major universities and hospitals along with lower facilities costs than would be found in more mature markets. Some emerging clusters are aiming higher up the value chain as R&D support destinations. Clusters in Asia Pacific and Latin America are aggressively increasing their competitiveness and life sciences capabilities through economic incentives, public funding, education policies and stronger intellectual property protection and international cooperation. India, China and Singapore have been seeking to increase their presence in the industry beyond manufacturing, dedicating resources to fund intellectual capital, business parks and incubator centers while retaining a competitive cost environment for attract foreign direct investment in R&D. "We are seeing even greater bifurcation of location strategies in response to industry stressors," said Barrett. "Multinationals are aggressively outsourcing operations to the most cost-effective locations, while focusing resources on increasing R&D productivity, either in mature clusters or in low-cost clinical trials locations."

What do you do if you're Seydou Keita? You play for Barcelona (and Mali), where you're deeply respected by team-mates and fans.

Your wish is reciprocated by your new coach and sporting director who've both told you face-to-face that they want you to stay.
You've won 14 trophies since joining Barca as the first outfield signing made by Pep Guardiola in 2008, since when you've earned a reputation for being professional, self-effacing and the most humble player in a squad of stars. You even talked your way out of starting in the 2009 Champions League final at left-back because you felt there were better players in your position.
Guardiola described you as "a guy who never plays poorly and who always makes the right decision." A few of the players knew you from before. Xavi remembers playing against you in the 1999 FIFA World Youth Championships, a tournament won by the young Spain of Xavi, Marchena, Gabri and Iker Casillas.
That only happened after Spain overcame a powerful Mali side whose best player was you. There was controversy though. FIFA's Michel Platini visited the Spanish camp and assured them that Xavi had won the Golden Ball for being the best player. Except at the gala the following day, you won that award to the delight of your Mali team-mates, but to the disgust of the Spaniards who stormed out and ate in a pizzeria rather than attend the gala banquet.
That was 13 years ago. You're 32 and have two years left to run on your contract at Camp Nou, but you also have a clause inserted allowing you to leave for free if you start in less than half the games each season. While you featured in 42 games last season, more than Gerard Pique and Alexis Sanchez, and more impressive considering you were injured and absent for the African Cup of Nations, you only actually started 22 games. That was less than half. You can leave for free if you choose.
Alerted by your agent, other clubs know that and your summer break has been interrupted by a head turning offer. It's far more money than what you're on, probably your last chance to earn stupid money in your life. So you weigh everything up.
The man who brought you to the club has stepped down and you fear that you are going to start even fewer games next season. You're also just about to cross the threshold of five years in Spain since you signed for Sevilla in 2007. That means your tax status will change from one of immense privilege granted in a booming economy, to one of high taxation in an economy on the rocks. You'll be clearing £48,000 a week - a lot of money, but nowhere near as much as people think and there's little public sentiment for giving more tax relief to millionaire footballers as there was when David Beckham moved to Madrid nine years ago. Or when you moved to Andalusia.
You benefited too, but you can earn three, maybe four times that, even if it's playing for a far, far inferior team in China. A club that was only founded in 2009 when it joined the Chinese third division. Bankrolled by a company who makes concrete, they won two successive promotions.
They play in a city you've never heard of, Dalian. A city which has been granted special tax status to attract foreign investment. Given that you're from West Africa and not west China, you could be part of that foreign investment. The figures add up.
But back to Catalonia. While you are popular in the team, you're not a star. Even though you might be the only player aside from Lionel Messi to score a hat-trick for Barca in the last three seasons. You've also scored a goal that won a league title (against Levante in 2011), but you're used most often as a substitute when your team are leading, usually away from home.
You have instructions to add your formidable physical presence, break up attacks and hold the fort. You have the technical excellence and physical presence to do what Yaya Toure used to do and do it well, though you're so versatile you can be played in several positions, primarily as a central or defensive midfielder.
Like Toure you have a shot that would burst nets in a kids' cartoon strip and such is your heading ability, those kids would believe you if you told them you could head the ball to Mars. Or Mali. Like Toure, you know your value. You're a Barcelona first teamer with nearly 200 games to your name and such exalted status attracts a premium.
Toure was starting fewer games for Barca as his role was given to Sergio Busquets. He decided to cash in on his status and become the best paid player in the world's richest league, earning over twice what he was on at Camp Nou. As a bonus he got to play with his brother. Could you blame him?
And while Toure started losing out to Busquets, you've started losing minutes to another emerging talent, Thiago Alcantara. He's the future, not you.
So you decide to take an offer to go and play in China for Dalian Aerbin on a lucrative deal that will take you to the cusp of your 35th birthday and more than double your take home. It doesn't matter that you'd never heard of them, but you know that China is becoming the new Qatar, a graveyard for ageing but still decent A-listers like Didier Drogba, Freddie Kanoute and Nicolas Anelka.
You state publicly how much you've enjoyed Barca and your team-mates say how much they've enjoyed playing with you. So all's well that ends well for the modern footballer who has the luxury of choosing between prestige or money. It's not like that for 99 per cent of footballers, who have choice in deciding the direction of their career.
Barca will now have to buy a new player, probably Athletic Bilbao's Javi Martinez, who will eat up close to the club's entire summer transfer budget of 40 million euros. Either that or promote a B teamer. Barca can understand why you left, but they'd rather you hadn't, and that's a wonderful compliment.

(HARTFORD, Conn.) – The Women's Auxiliary of Saint Francis Hospital and Medical Center has pledged to contribute an unprecedented $5 million to the Hospital over 10 years.
The unrestricted pledge is a graduated giving plan covering the years 2011 through 2020.
"We are very happy to be able to make this commitment now, during these difficult times. Our history shows that our membership has always responded generously to the healthcare needs of our community," said Janet Newman, the Auxiliary's President.
Founded in 1926, the Auxiliary has contributed more than $11 million to the Hospital over its 83-year history.
"As Saint Francis has grown, we have grown. As Saint Francis has achieved awards of excellence, we have worked proudly, side by side, with a strong commitment to the ideals of our organization and to Saint Francis," said Newman.
The Auxiliary is currently in the midst of a $1.5 million, five-year pledge to support the renovation of the New Beginnings Family Birth Care Center. So far, it has retired $840,000 of that pledge, with $660,000 remaining to be paid off.
"This is a truly remarkable act of generosity on the part of the Auxiliary, which is a steadfast supporter of Saint Francis and its mission," said Paul Pendergast, President of the Saint Francis Foundation and Chief Development Officer.
"We are extremely grateful to the Auxiliary for their commitment to Saint Francis. Their marketing innovations and inspiring spirit make the Auxiliary an invaluable resource in advancing our mission," said Christopher M. Dadlez, Saint Francis' President and Chief Executive Officer. "Our entire community profoundly benefits from the hard work, ingenuity and tireless enthusiasm of this outstanding organization."
This generous $5 million commitment follows other recent record-breaking donations made to Saint Francis. In July, an anonymous donor pledged an estate bequest valued at $12.5 million. This supplanted the Hospital's previous largest-ever commitment, another anonymous estate gift with an estimated value of $6 million, received last January.
Founded in 1897, Saint Francis is a major teaching hospital licensed for 617 acute inpatient beds and 65 bassinets. It is the largest Catholic hospital in New England.

While construction is moving at an accelerated pace, office space and other rental opportunities will likely not be available until early 2013, according to Bone, although he added there is a wedding scheduled for October on the ground level.
Still remaining upstairs, pressing against aged plaster walls and some walls now featuring exposed brick, are the remnants of Rotary Club and Lions Club plaques that list each clubs original members dating back to their respective charters.
At one time theArcades second floor served as the meeting place for these clubs and others. The banquet room, approximately 2,500 or so square feet in size hosted luncheon and dinner meetings.
Bone said much of the original look of the building is being preserved. The hardwood floors are being kept in place, certain special order glass is being installed to resemble the original look and the structures original brick is being exposed on several walls.
The new owners are hoping to attract a restaurant for a portion of the space upstairs and are thinking that if that works out the banquet room could well become a viable option once again as a meeting place for local clubs and community organizations.
Manous of Manous Design Inc., a locally based architecture and design firm, plans to locate offices for his firm on the upstairs level. Owners believe, when the facility is completed, that they will be able to attract both retail and office tenants.
TheArcadeproject is just one of two major renovations taking place in the downtown historic district.Lebanonbusinessman Bob Black and his wife Pam are continuing the renovation of the Capitol Theater, a project that is expected to cost near $1 million when completed.
The Capitol, built in 1949, was a principle venue for entertainment for the community until its closing in 1979.

Today, U.S. Representative Jim Renacci (OH-16) released a statement acknowledging the Ohio Department of Transportation's decision to lower the speed limit on Boston Road in Brunswick. The decision follows an accident which claimed the lives of four local teenagers:
"I am very happy to hear that ODOT has made the decision to address the "hump' at the site of June's terrible crash in Brunswick which claimed the lives of four young adults. In the wake of this terrible incident, and after speaking with constituents and Dave Wadsworth from the Brunswick Blue Pride Foundation, I was compelled to reach out to officials at the Department of Transportation to convey the deep concerns held by so many in our community. I commend the multitude of citizens who spoke out and the state officials who responded promptly and correctly.
"Sadly this change comes too late for the four local families who experienced the worst loss a parent or loved one can imagine. However, I firmly believe this change will help prevent future tragedies at this railroad crossing."
Rep. Renacci is serving his first term in the U.S. House of Representatives, where he is a member of the Financial Services Committee. Prior to his election he worked as a Certified Public Accountant in the health care industry, and owned and operated over 60 other businesses in the automotive and sports management fields.

#1: Belated Thanks to Rou, and 1st trip to MAC Counter
Just wanted to let you know I appreciate your color suggestions, and I found out that a Macys in a mall not too far away had MAC...so I took my extremely expired Macys gift card that the rep on the phone told me to throw away (I know, I just am not much of a shopper...)and brought it into the store where they reactivated it then and there So, I ended up getting the VivaGlam warm pallette, an additional Viva Glam VI lipstick, and a lipstick in Chili. The V & VI look very similar to me, the VI being a bit more brown and darker. I think both are perfect neutrals for me. And I've been wearing the Chili 3 days in a row now-love it! The best part was only paying about $5 out of pocket! I was looking at the newer matte lipsticks-forget the actual name-I wonder how they compare to the regular? Maybe next time...Thanks again, Rou

Now that you've learned about budgeting and banking, it's on to the fun stuff. Investing is the best way to earn substantial amounts of money. Here's how you can earn money with your existing money.
Risk and Reward
Higher risk equals higher reward, right?
Higher risk equals higher potential for reward, a big difference. The first (wrong) version assumes that if you invest in a risky venture, you will get higher rewards. This is very bad to think. The better way to think about it: If you invest in a biotech-startup, it's risky: The stock may drop like a ton of bricks tomorrow. But if it really succeeds, the reward would be dramatic–a many-times-over overnight return on your money, something you'd never get from safer companies like GE or Wal-Mart.
What kinds of investments are risky? Well, every kind is risky to some degree. So…risky compared to what? Investing in a single stock is risky compared to investing in a lot of stocks (i.e., diversifying your portfolio). In general, stocks are riskier than bonds. And investing in an unproven startup or a company you haven't researched in depth is really risky.
Risky investments aren't good or bad–you just have to find a balance between your tolerance for risk and reward.
If you're in your twenties, you have an enormous tolerance for risk. Let's take the worst case. Say that tomorrow, you lost your job and all your money in investments. It would be bad, thats for sure–but not catastrophic. You could still go home and live with mom and dad, look for another job, and be ok.
Things are different when you're older. At 30, you have a spouse and kids. At 40, you have a mortgage. And at 60, you have retirement and hip surgery, you old bastard. Simply by virtue of your age and place in life, you become more conservative. You can't afford a total wipeout when you need your Vioxx prescription filled next week.
The point is that, as young people, we can take risks now that we won't be able to take later. And if you invest sensibly, that higher risk can translate to higher (dramatically higher) rewards.
Investing for the Long Term
…is what smart people do. Please don't be stupid!!
Friend: "Ramit, where should I invest my money?"
Me: "Well, when do you need the money again?"
Friend: "Next year."
Me: (Sob) (Then bitter anger)
Investing for a 1-year outlook is almost impossible to guarantee good returns. 5 years is better; 30 years is best. If you're reading this in your twenties, chances are you will be rich. A wise man once said that "compound interest is the greatest invention of man." His name was Albert Einstein.
Check this scenario out: You start investing at age 25, investing $2,000 each year until age 35. Then you STOP–never touching that money again. Your dumb friend doesn't start until age 35, but he invests $2,000 a year for 30 years (compared to your 10). Who has more by age 65?
You! Actually, you'll have over $70,000 more than your friend. Here's a cool simulation.
One more thing. Over time, investing for the long-term (aka "buy & hold") always beats short-term investing. Once you invest your money, don't plan to take it out for a year. 5 years is better, and 30 years is even better. Why? Any given year can be good or bad, but that volatility will be averaged out over a long period of time, with good companies providing you dramatic returns.
Here are the technical details of why long-term investing works and short-term investing sucks (skip this part if you're not interested).
First, we're very bad at timing the market. For example, if you buy a stock on Jan 1 and it goes up 20% by March, you might sell–only to miss the 200% climb next month. Or if your investment drops, you're tempted to sell it to cut your losses–literally buying high and selling low. That is bad.
Second, every time you sell a stock, you're incurring trading fees and taxes. Over time, these dramatically reduce your returns. In fact, Warren Buffet (Snoop Dogg of investing) once proposed a 100% capital-gains tax on investments held less than a year.
Third, it's a lot of work to constantly buy and sell like that. Avoid work when at all possible.
"The Market"
You might have heard people saying "The market is up 2% today." They're usually talking about the S&P 500 index, a collection of 500 U.S. stocks. There are thousands of other indexes, most notably the NASDAQ (tech stocks) and the Dow Industrials, but we'll use the S&P 500 ("the market") for comparisons.
Now this is where it gets cool. "The market" is the benchmark for your investments. Over the past 70 years, it's averaged an approximately 11% rate of return. Some years it went down a lot; others up). That means if you put $1.00 in, one average year later you'd have $1.11.
The Rule of 72: 72 divided by your return rate = the number of years it'll take to double your money.
Woah. So 72/11 = 7 years to double your money. If you invested $10,000 directly into the market today, you'd likely have around $20,000 in 7 years. And that's if you didn't touch it at all–what if you added a little bit each month?
Anyway, use 11% as a benchmark. You should expect at least 11% from your investments because you can invest directly in the market itself. If, for example, you invested in a stock (higher risk because it's just one stock, not 500), you'd expect a higher potential reward. So next time your friends are bragging about their stocks or mutual funds, ask them what their return rate was. "200%," they'll lie. Ask them what it was over 10 years, then snort. You could beat that by investing directly in the market.
Other typical rates for comparison
0.25% – typical bank savings account
2.89% – 2-year CD
9.4% – average annual mutual-fund return

* Final gross prices may vary according to local VAT.Get Access
From a point of view of handling imperfect knowledge like uncertainty, vagueness, imprecision, etc., a concept of fuzzy-rough classifications is introduced. This is a notion defined as a kind of modification of the rough classifications. Two logics based on the fuzzy-rough classifications are proposed, and various properties are examined as compared with the indiscernibility relations. Also, decision procedures for the proposed logics are given in the tableau style which is useful in automated reasoning.

Geale camp to protest!
By Ray Wheatley — World of Boxing
Bill Treacy, manager of former IBO middleweight champion Daniel Geale who lost the title to Anthony Mundine last Wednesday by a disputed twelve round split decision, will lodge a protest to the IBO regarding the intimidation by members of the Mundine camp of English boxing judge Marcus McDonell during the contest. McDonnell scored the bout 114-113 to Mundine and Rich Green of the USA scored 115-112 to Geale. Australian judge Derek Milham scored 116-113 for Mundine. McDonnell confirmed to The Sunday Telegraph that he was subjected to verbal abuse. McDonnell said, "For the future, judges of IBO title fights featuring Mundine need to be protected. We should not have people standing behind us calling us names. Luckily – I am a thick skinned pom." It was generally considered that Geale had deserved a clear decision over the former WBA super middleweight champion Mundine, who has stated he is after a WBA shot against German Felix Sturm.

The expanded use of replay was one of the widely reported features of baseball's new collective bargaining agreement.
The restriction on tattoos wasn't as widely known.
The Associated Press reports the new labor deal will result in a four-day All-Star break by 2013, with the game being played on a Wednesday instead of a Tuesday, and it will allow teams in the same division to meet in the playoffs before the league championship series.
Among other new stipulations:
According to the new CBA, a copy of which was obtained by AP, "no player may have any visible markings or logos tattooed on his body" as part of the uniform regulations.
"Just trying to head something off at the pass," said Rob Manfred, baseball's executive vice president for labor relations.
The players have already ratified the new agreement and the owners are expected to do so on Thursday.
The expansion of replay use is pending talks with the umpires' union. MLB, which currently uses replay only on disputed home run calls, wants to employ it as well on calls to determine whether a ball is fair or foul and also weather a ball has been caught or trapped.
Daily Pitch is a baseball fan's destination for breaking news, emerging trends and enlightening banter. With a veteran group of reporters positioned in three time zones, we provide a balanced, comprehensive glimpse at our national pastime, with a nod to both the passion and complexities that make the sport irresistible to many.

4. Committee Reports
Executive Committee (Chris Prom)
Since the last faculty meeting, EC has met six times-- on July 31, August 7, August 14, August 31, September 6, and September 11. EC also had a special meeting on August 28 with Beth Sandore to discuss IT reorganization. Minutes from the July 31 and August 7 meetings on available on the web, so these comments focus on the other four meetings.
EC reviewed applications for the position of Acting AUL for Collections and made a recommendation for an appointment. EC continued discussion of position requests at almost all of these meetings. EC met with Tom Teper, the acting AUL for Collections, to discuss how preservation activities would be handled during the coming year. The committee also met with Rod Allen for an update on FY07 budget.
EC elected a vice-chair and secretary for the coming year. Chris Prom will serve as vice-chair, and Cindy Ingold (Fall 2006) and Janice Pilch (Spring-Summer 2007) will serve as secretary. Names were suggested for search committees for Special Collections Conservator and Serials Management Specialist, and EC discussed filling the position of head of ILL/DD.
At the September 11, 2006 meeting, the committee discussed a proposal for implementing a standardized review for associate professors, to inform their progress towards full professorship. Each faculty member could be assigned a peer review committee, and a review could be conducted five years after achieving tenure. EC recommended that the proposal be discussed by the Faculty Review Committee and be addressed at the October or November faculty meeting. Full details will be discussed at an upcoming faculty meeting with Beth Woodard.
The committee made a recommendation concerning the ILL/DD position, and approved requests for two e-resource positions. The committee discussed another position request, and delayed a decision pending further information concerning the Library budget and the Library IT Report.
The committee tentatively discussed charging a task force to work on phase two in the development of the Scholarly Commons, and will continue the discussion at the September 25 meeting. The committee approved a nomination for the campus P & T Reform Committee. The committee discussed procedures for filling positions without a formal search, and reaffirmed a commitment to be more consistent in the process for requiring national searches and authorizing search waivers.
User Education Committee
(Lisa Janicke Hinchliffe)
Lisa thanked the faculty for the opportunity to present this annual report. Members of the User Education Committee for 2005-2006 were Melody Allison, Susan Avery, Paula Carns, Lori Carroll, Christopher Hamb, Karen Hogenboom, Patricia Hswe, James Kelly, Lori Mestre, Joe Straw, Yoo-Seong Song, and Lisa Hinchliffe as chair. In Spring 2006 the committee benefited from the able assistance of graduate assistant Chris Stevens. Lisa acknowledged Yoo-Seong Song who has rotated off the committee and welcomed Dawn Cassidy who has joined for 2006-2007, as well as the many members who requested re-appointment.
Highlights of the committee's activities this year included:
· Continued to plan, expand, and support the annual Library Fall Festival.
· Established the Outreach Innovations Working Group, a sub-committee which created and promulgated the Library Toolbar, search plugins for Firefox, the Library Bookmarklet, and the Greasemonkey Search Script (all available from the LibLabs website – http://www.library.uiuc.edu/liblabs/), sponsored a Library workshop for campus academic advisors, and investigated a research skills wiki for patrons.

Its members are particularly looking to start some new projects and re-vitalize those that have waned a bit in the recent past such as the GSLIS-Library Teaching Alliance. Lisa welcomed any questions and suggestions.
Bylaws Committee (Nancy O'Brien)
Nancy introduced the discussion of the proposed amendments to the Library bylaws, continuing
from the July 26 meeting. She presented the current options of sending the proposed amendments for
a ballot in their entirety, in segments, or selectively.
Kathleen Kluegel clarified that the first motion at the July meeting had been to divide the
proposed amendments into segments and to vote on them individually, and that they needed to be "
presented, discussed and voted on." There was agreement on this procedure.
Chris Prom, on behalf of the Executive Committee, stated that EC had discussed the process of making a decision regarding the proposed
amendments, and believes that it would be most fair and expeditious to have each of the proposed
changes submitted for an individual ballot. EC is not endorsing the suggested changes, but
believes that it would best meet the common good to have them voted upon in an open manner by all
faculty members. He made the following motion:
"The Library Executive Committee moves that each of the five proposed bylaws amendments be
individually submitted for vote by the faculty, and that any further discussion of the merits or
demerits of each of the proposed changes be carried out via the LIBFAC listserv prior to the
There was a discussion of whether it was appropriate for EC to make a motion in this manner,
and it was clarified that standing committees may bring motions at faculty meetings, and they do
not need to be seconded.
It was suggested that the faculty take this time to debate, and the issue was open to
discussion. There was no discussion. The vote on the EC motion went forward, and passed. The result
will be that the proposed amendments to the bylaws will appear on a ballot for vote by the faculty.The ballot will likely be electronic.
5. The Library Community & IDEALS: Information and demonstration (Sarah Schreeves)

Work underway at Bright Start Elementary School
LAKEVIEW — The story of Bright Start Elementary School is unusual and one that has been affected repeatedly by the vagaries of educational financing and population. Built over a decade ago, the school originally housed Lakeview Community Schools' lower elementary students.
Then there was a period of years when the school was closed altogether and all elementary classes were returned to the old elementary school.
Beginning next school year, however, an expanded and renovated Bright Start will finally fulfill its purpose as the system's primary elementary school.
On Oct. 30, about 40 people gathered for a groundbreaking ceremony at the school. Among the local dignitaries on hand were Board of Education President Ed Jonaitis, board member Jeff Kurtze and Lakeview Village Manager James Freed. Tim Marcus, who will be serving as construction site manager also was there along with Lakeview Community Schools Superintendent Kyle Hamlin.
Hamlin noted many of the reasons for reopening Bright Start, including higher than anticipated enrollment numbers and the need for an elementary school more in line with current student needs.
"At the start of the 2014-2015 school year, our elementary students will be learning, playing and growing in a more modern and efficient facility," Hamlin said.
The school's expansion is part of a $12.25 million bond approved by voters to address needs not met through the school system's general operating budget. Other items covered in that millage are the purchase of 12 new school buses and upgrade in infrastructure and technology throughout the school system.
Voters in Lakeview have in the past been somewhat reluctant to pass new millage requests. Jonaitis credited the recent millage's passage on the "Claws for the Cause" information campaign led by David King and Paul Main in the months leading up to the vote.
Even with the school's diligent effort to get the word out about the need for the millage's passage, it succeeded last February by a slim margin of 691 to 599.
Freed said Lakeview's school system is one of many factors that make the town so attractive to parents.
"Lakeview's comparative advantage, meaning what we do better than anyone else, is we are the greatest place to call home," Freed said. "Lakeview is the greatest place to live, work and, most importantly, raise a strong family. One of the largest components to that is that moms and dads know that when they live here their children will receive a world class education."
Improvements currently begun at Bright Start include a secure entryway, building site work, additional parking areas, an upgraded playground, eight new classrooms, new restrooms, a multi-purpose/gymnasium and numerous technology upgrades.

COLLINGWOOD has finally lost patience with one of its struggling power forwards, Chris Dawes, dumping him on the verge of the finals for tomorrow night's clash with Essendon at the MCG.
Dawes' axing, as the Magpies attempt to fix their malfunctioning forward line and climb back into the top four, overshadowed the celebrated return of Andrew Krakouer for his first game of the season, less than seven months after a knee reconstruction.
Collingwood made five changes, with Cameron Wood, Ben Sinclair and Paul Seedsman dumped from the team which was thrashed by West Coast last weekend.
Dawes has kicked 19 goals this season, compared with 27 last year, though he has also been used as a relieving ruckman. The scrutiny intensified after the loss to North Melbourne a fortnight ago, when Dawes and Travis Cloke did not take a contested mark between them.
Earlier this week, Collingwood coaching strategist Rodney Eade said both were on thin ice, but Cloke, whose contract speculation continues be a problem, survived.
''They need to be able to take a mark, don't they?'' Eade said. ''They need to be able to at least contest in the air so they can give us a bit of a chance.''
Dawes won't play at any level this weekend because Collingwood's VFL team did not make the finals.
President Eddie McGuire yesterday said the comeback of Krakouer, on the strength of excellent VFL form, for his first game of the season was such a remarkable achievement that it transcended the usual football currency of wins and losses.
The Magpies hope his presence provides a spark up forward before the team begins its finals campaign. Captain Nick Maxwell and ruckman Darren Jolly were named after missing the game against West Coast. Jackson Paine and Jamie Elliott were added, while Jarryd Blair was forced out with a groin injury.
The Bombers, who can't make the finals, also made five changes, adding Nathan Lovett-Murray and Alwyn Davey to its long list of soft-tissue casualties.
Essendon picked veteran ruckman David Hille, Ben Howlett, David Myers, Cory Dell'Olio and its sixth debutant for the season, Jackson Merrett.
Hawthorn named Cyril Rioli to return from a shoulder injury for tonight's finals-shaping clash with West Coast, and dropped Xavier Ellis. Rioli's inclusion, despite leaving the training track early, means the Hawks will have their two most compelling players, Rioli and Lance Franklin, back together for the first time in seven weeks.
The Eagles had hoped Eric Mackenzie would recover from a hamstring injury in time to play on Franklin but he didn't come up, while Matt Rosa is out with a broken collarbone. They were replaced by Mitch Brown and Jacob Brennan.
The match will have a big influence on ladder positions. A loss to fourth-placed West Coast could drop the Hawks to third and cost them a home qualifying final.
''We couldn't have had a better dress rehearsal than Sydney in round 22 and then West Coast round 23 - one of them interstate and the other one at home,'' coach Alastair Clarkson said yesterday. ''We'll get another chance to test ourselves against really good opposition.''
Fremantle captain Matthew Pavlich, who is just ahead of Jack Riewoldt and Tom Hawkins in the race for the Coleman Medal, is back from a leg injury for tomorrow's match against Melbourne at Patersons Stadium.
Adelaide has lost midfielder Bernie Vince to a knee injury ahead of the clash with Gold Coast, but recalled tough on-baller Rory Sloane and Matt Jaensch. Vince was subbed out of last weekend's game against Melbourne during the third quarter and is expected to be fit for the club's finals campaign.

|Guys, the original poster referred to weather helm 'probs' on CUTTERS ..... much different than 'sloops'.
Also, being a keel mounted rudder, there is no counter balancing as with a spade rudder. Therefore, for the same degree of weather helm you will have to pull on the tiller/wheel harder.
There is a good review of modifications done on boats to decrease wx helm in the latest Good Old Boat.

Unless, you are saying the weather helm is still bad (there should be a little) once your foresail is up too.
|Agree with everything heretofore said. Also easing of on the main in heavier winde, let it backwind a bit will also ease the weather helm.
There is an inherent problem with 'cutter rigged' boats: the headstay and forestay (where the little FOREstaysail flies) both share a single backstay.
FIRST PROBLEM backstay reacting with TWO forward stays.
The result of a sloppy headstay is that when windloaded the bigger of the two sails (the headsail) stretches the headstay disproportionately more than the staysail stretches out the forestay .... and as a result the forestay increases tension as the headstay simultaneously unloads. The sail shape result is that the headsail luff curve (luff hollow) no longer matches the expected 'sag' of the headstay.... and the headsail becomes draft aft, the leech hooks up to weather and the draft radically 'deepens'. All this increases the boats tendancy to SKID OFF TO LEEWARD (a common trait of cutters - they cant point unless set up 'differently' than a 'sloop') and aggressively 'heel over' while going SLOW. The skid to leeward adds undue side pressure to the rudder (and keel) .... and the helmsman usually erroneously blames 'weather helm'. So, the first thing to do in a cutter rigged boat when you 'think' you have 'weather helm' is to look at the stern wake to be SURE that its is coming off at NO MORE than 4-5° from the center line when close hauled. If so, there are two solutions:
1. release tension in the FORESTAY so the BACKSTAY reacts primarily with the HEADSTAY, ..... tensions 'mostly' the headstay and prevents undue 'sag to leeward' of the headstay AND the headsail.
2. Apply additional tension to the headstay/forestay combo via RUNNING BACKSTAYS .... or backstay tensioner (but dont 'bust' the rig by over-tension).
3. HOW MUCH TENSION IS NEEDED? .... go to: http://i1086.photobucket.com/albums/...LuffHollow.gif and check the 'match' between the 'luff hollow' of the headsail and the SAG in the headstay.... and adjust backstay or running backstay tension so that the 'luff hollow' curve closely MATCHES the 'sagging headstay' geometry ... and adjust backstay/runner tension (and unload the forestay) so the two shapes/geometries of sagging headstay and the 'luff hollow curve' are EQUAL !!!!!
Note: depending on the mast position (true cutter will be with the mast at 40-50% back from the bow, sprit., etc.), when youre running correct headstay tension the boat will typically sail quite well at all points with just the headsail and staysail, & NO main and with just a slight 'helm change'. Most of Bob Perry's (true) cutter rigs can do this .... all depends on that headstay tension !!!!!!
Note2: All the applied force from a jibsheet winch, will equilibrate to the headstay ... if you have gorillas as winch grinders, then plan on increased backstay tension .... or the sag of the headstay will greatly increase due to the 'sheeting loads'. Dont 'overdo' the winch grinding !!!!!!!
SECOND PROBLEM is probably 99% of non-racing sailors (sloops, cutters, etc. etc. etc.) have no idea of how to properly raise/shape a woven dacron mainsail !!!!!!!!! go to: How to properly RAISE a woven dacron mainsail - SailboatOwners.com
Once you have the luff shape correct for the headsail/forestay (I usually run my forestay as low as ~5% when 'beating', backstay @~20%, therefore headstay @15+%) .... and on a hard beat in 10-15kts: then apply ADDITIONAL mainsail halyard (or cunningham) strain/tension ...... to move the mainsails *position of maximum draft* FORWARD ... which also 'opens' the leech (leech exit should be parallel with the boat's centerline), ...... until the 'helm' goes 'dead fish' neutral, then back off until you get a 'slight' weather helm. ....
Weather Helm is usually a result of improper *position/location of maximum draft* in setting/shaping/raising the mainsail (all boats!!!!!!!). A cutter has the additional problem of usually a 'NON CONSTANT TENSIONED or loose headstay' that promotes leeward skids (erroneously 'felt' as 'weather helm').
If you do BOTH of these Suggestions, your cutter will point like a banshee (sometimes better than a sloop rig) and with an almost 'neutral' helm. However, the rig has to be properly tuned first, including the needed mast 'prebend'.
If this works and makes your cutter point like a banshee and with a 'light' helm, Id appreciate to know.
More headsail or less main.
Put simply a main sail drives your bow up to weather and a headsail pushes it back down again. To attain no weather or lee helm your sails must be balanced. So if you have a full main up you want a matched amount of headsail to keep things happy, if the wind is strong enough to warrant less sail forward then you should also be shortening your main.
Not the most scientific answer your going to get, but I hope it helps. Enjoy the new sail, I am very jealous.
By weather helm; you mean the equivolent of pulling your tiller to windward in order to keep your boat from rounding up into the wind.
you can reverse the order of raising your sails.
Under main alone you may want a reef or two taken in. With a cutter you may want your stay sail hoisted, then the main and finally the yankee. Play around with the hoisting sequence to see how your boat responds.
Check the rake of your mast. If it raked to far aft you can straighten it up some what.
And I'm sure that others here will have their worthy advise given also.

Produce tends to be less expensive, more flavorful and more nutrient-dense when it is in season.
