While searching around for a good blog post idea this morning, I stumbled upon a feature from LiveScience titled "50 Interesting Facts About The Earth."
It's a good, solid idea. An evergreen, if you will. But LiveScience decided to format the feature as a slide show. Fifty slides. So if you began reading these "50 interesting facts about the Earth" when they were first published last March, you'd be finishing right about now.
I won't do that to From the Lab readers, and not just because I don't know how to make a slide show. Below are 10 facts about Earth, some of which were mentioned on LiveScience, some of which I
made up researched on my own.
1. At its equator, Earth rotates at a speed of 1,037.6 miles per hour. Yet no one at the equator has ever flown off! For this they can thank gravity.
2. As it orbits the Sun, Earth travels through space at a speed of 66,660 miles per hour.
3. Universe Today puts Earth's weight at 5.97 sextillion tons. But there's some debate about whether Earth is gaining or losing mass.
4. Earth is 4.55 billion years old (and 6,000 years old for the delusional).
5. Earth's distance from the Sun varies, but on average it is 92.96 million miles away.
6. Nearly 71% (70.8%, to be exact) of the Earth's surface is covered by water, of which 97% is salt water. (Ecology.com)
7. How many people have ever lived on Earth? No one knows for sure, of course, but the Population Reference Bureau took a stab at an answer and came up with 108 billion. Which means with a current world population of about 7 billion, about 6.5% of the people who have ever lived are alive today.
8. About 85% of the Earth's deserts are comprised not of sand, but rocks and gravel, according to Listverse.
9. There are 8.7 million species on Earth, according to estimates published in 2011. Of those, 6.5 million species are land-based, with 2.2 million living in water.
10. Earth has one permanent moon, but frequently hosts tiny, temporary moons, says the Institute for Astronomy at the University of Hawaii.

The Guys Next Door - Part 1, Scene #01

Scene Info
Johnny Torque and Anthony Romero are both visions in a pool of sparkling water on a hot day. They are taking an afternoon swim which leads to some heavy making out under a stream of water that feeds the pool. Their ferocious kissing gets the water boiling hot and Anthony wraps his legs around Johnny's waist. After their make out swim, they lay out in the sun for a bit, but soon they're both naked getting ready to continue where they left off in the pool. Both have striking looks, great asses and huge cocks. Tugging on Anthony's balls, Johnny swallows Anthony again and again, gulping away. Now it's Johnny's turn to get oral service. His cock is pumped up to full hardness, and Anthony can't get enough of the hot rod attached to Johnny. Swallowing the perfectly shaped shaft to its base, Anthony allows Johnny to guide his head down the pole again and again. With Anthony in the tub, Johnny sits on the ledge and spreads his legs allowing a perfect view of his tight eager hole, which Anthony tends to along with Johnny's balls. After some serious rimming, Anthony wants his hole serviced and he bends over the edge of the hot tub offering his round Latin bubble butt to Johnny, and Johnny doesn't disappoint, getting to business immediately slamming his huge cock deep into Anthony over and over with the sunlight beaming down on the duo. Anthony's face tells the whole story as he smiles while Johnny slams into him relentlessly, then he lays on his back while Johnny delivers his Torque, the power behind each pound sending moans out of Romero, who is now jerking his cock almost as fast as Johnny delivers cock into the hot hole. This is a long fucking session that culminates with Johnny and Anthony jerking off side by side with an upward view as they both shoot huge loads.

One million condoms: A gift of Valentine's Day love from Sir Richard's to Haiti
Big photos below.
Sir Richard's Condoms is the TOMS Shoes of love gloves: For each condom purchased, the Boulder-based company gives away one in a developing country. On Valentine's Day 2012, that meant announcing a 500,000 condom donation to Haiti. And this February 14, Sir Richard's is doubling the struggling island nation's pleasure, with a one-million condom donation -- almost.
"It's just under a million," concedes Jim Moscou, the CEO of Sir Richard's. "But we round up."
When it comes to condom donations, size matters -- and the fact that Sir Richard's is able to give away nearly twice as many as this time last year shows that the firm is, well, growing.
A pictograph on the back of KORE condoms is important, Moscou says, because it ensures they're used properly.
"We're doing great," Moscou confirms. "But what's exciting about it is, this is a community. The more people who purchase our product and kind of join this mission we're all focused on, the more contribute. So this is a direct result of people buying more of our condoms, which is very humbling."
When the average person thinks about condoms, they envision...well, you know. But Moscou sees beyond the obvious. Way beyond.

"I tell people that if everyone bought our condoms, we could really change the world," he allows. "There's a massive global shortage of condoms in these developing countries, and condoms are the only way to immediately drop HIV, STD and unintended pregnancy indicators there. It's a simple concept, but it can have a dramatic impact on the toll these diseases and unintended pregnancy take."
In Haiti, there are even more complications. "All the brands you see are either Western brands that are typically unaffordable for the average person, or they're these Chinese-made, very poor-quality condoms distributed by well-intentioned NGO (non-governmental) groups that no one wants to use," Moscou points out.
Continue for more about Sir Richard's condoms, including three videos.
A banner from the Sir Richard's Facebook page.
With that in mind, Sir Richard's has developed its own Haitian brand: KORE, a slang term that means, roughly, "I've got your back." By offering people in Haiti a product that literally speaks to them in their language, Moscou believes "we can accelerate positive social impact. We believe here in the U.S., and in the U.K., where we just launched, there's room for a new conversation about condoms that can lead to greater usage. And we think the same respect can be brought to the toughest neighborhoods of Port-au Prince."
Moscou has seen these areas himself; he stresses that Sir Richard's is working on the ground with groups in Haiti, not simply boxing up a bunch of condoms in Boulder and calling UPS. And while he can't predict how many condoms the company will donate next Valentine's Day, he says, "I think it's going to be a great year for us, as we step into more mass retailers and people see not only what we're doing but how we're doing it. It's just a really exciting business model, and we hope a lot of people see it and switch to Sir Richard's."
That's the long and short of it.

With Election Day turmoil expected because of the ongoing problems caused by Superstorm Sandy, Gov. Cuomo has signed an executive order allowing displaced voters to cast ballots at any polling site.
A person would go to a polling place, sign an affidavit and fill out a ballot anonymously, Cuomo said.
The vote will count for the presidential race or the U.S. Senate race.
But a person's vote won't count if they are voting at a site that is not their home state Senate or Assembly district.
"It's fair," he said. "You can't vote for a race that you're not eligible to vote for."
"It's a difficult situation," he said. "The Board of Elections appears to be working hard to do everything they can. But you have people who are displaced. We're trying to do the best we can. We want to allow everyone to vote and make it easy as possible."

" Brand: Walls / Type: Yoghurts "
I spotted Walls Frusi in the local cheap frozen food place with my sister. She said she had bought some before and they were nice and an absolute bargain, so i picked some up as an alternative pudding for myself and my family to try.
Seeing it was made by Walls, i was expecting them to be well made and tasty. They are never going to replace ice cream, but they are nice in their own way, and we all like eating them.
They come in a plastic pot with a see through lid with the Walls logo in pink, a picture of a green leaf with a couple of pink flowers, and Frusi written in white text on the leaf. There are 2 pots then further packaged in cardboard. Although i am not a fan of too much packaging, i am not sure how else they could present these, and the pot and cardboard are recyclable so it is not too bad.
All the nutritional information is on the cardboard. The ones i bought were made with mango and raspberry. This pot has 108 calories and only 2.4g of fat, so it is a fairly healthy choice. There are 2 other flavours - fruits of the forest have 110 calories, and peach and apricot comes in at 110 calories too. I have not tried the other 2 flavours, so my review will concentrate on the mango and raspberry version.
When the pot is removed from the cardboard sleeve, you can see what you are about to eat through the tub and through the lid. It kind of reminds me of cheesecake in that it comes in layers. The bottom layer is cereal which looks like the bisuit layer. You can then see a very white creamy layer which is actually yoghurt, but looks very thick and tasty. You can then see the top layer of very appetising looking chunks of fruit. The berries are actually broken up a bit. Probably wise as berries can go very soft and unappealing when frozen. The chunks of mango are a decent size and look really succulent.
Moving on to taste.
It is probably best to leave it a couple of minutes once you take it out the freezer so it softens a little, especially if giving it to a small child. My 3 year old stuck his spoon in today and the whole pot contents came out in one go and he was trying to eat it like that. Not a huge problem until it starts to defrost as the contents aren't really designed to firmly stick together.
If you allow it to soften, you can get a mix of all the different flavours together. You get a hit of tang from the raspberries, which is then sweetened by the mango and the cereal at the bottom. The main thing i can identify in the cereal layer is porridge oats, and they are very sweet. All i can say is my normal bag of porridge oats don't taste like this layer, and it is probably a good job, or i might as well start neighing as i would eat them from the bag. It is strange at first but very nice. The yoghurt doesn't have its own particularly strong taste. It is quite ice-cream like in texture, though obviously not in calories and i find it really pleasant.
They are definitely something that will regularly appear as a treat in my freezer providing the price is right. I have seen that they have been on sale at £1.50 for 2 and i am not willing to go as high in price as this, but i guess it all depends what you are used to spending on desserts. If it were just me on a diet i probably would pay it, but when my kids could scoff a couple each in one sitting it is out of our budget.
I would say definitely one to try if you like a pudding.
Frusi is a frozen yoghurt dessert made by Walls, perhaps best known for their ice-creams. I first sampled Frusis (I'm assuming that's the plural of Frusi) about a year ago when the product first came on the market. I'm a sucker when it comes to new and different items in the supermarket and was suckered in by a £1 promotional price. The average price when not on offer is £1.49 for a pack of two Frusi and I hadn't bought them in months until I recently spotted them in Farmfoods for the bargain price of 39p.
Frusi is available in 3 varieties, Pineapple and Raspberry, Raspberry and Mango and
Fruits of the Forest. They are a frozen dessert that can be eaten straight from the freezer and they are made with yoghurt, real fruit pieces (not sure how you would make fake fruit) and wholegrain cereals. For those of you counting calories, each pot contains 107 calories, 15g of sugar and 2.3g of fat but you can cancel out the fat and sugar content by taking into consideration the fact that each dessert contains 50% of your RDA of vitamin C.
Each Frusi comes in a small tub with a plastic lid, similar to a yoghurt pot. One you peel back the clear lid, you can have a closer nosey at the frozen fruit on top. Tonight, I'm devouring a Pineapple and Raspberry flavour Frusi which has a generous thick topping of chopped pineapple and raspberries. The fruit is sweet with the added tartness you'd expect from fresh raspberries. Underneath is the frozen yoghurt which has a sweet vanilla flavour to it and at the base is a layer of the wholegrain cereals which looks and tastes like muesli without any nuts or raisins. That would probably just be the oats then! Together, the favours work really well together and the layered textures reminds me of a healthier version of a cheesecake.
You can eat this straight out of the freezer or, if you prefer, you can allow it defrost for 10-15 minutes to enjoy a softer consistency. Now, I can't say I prefer this to Ben and Jerry's, but it is a sweet and tasty alternative to ice-cream whether your dieting or just generally healthier than I am. At the usual shop price of £1.49 I do feel it's a bit dear for two desserts but if you see it in Farmfoods for 39p, it's definitely worth grabbing a packet or two.
As I try to stick to my diet in preparation for my forthcoming wedding, desserts have been off the menu for a while, until I saw an advertisement in my Slimming World magazine for Frusi a new frozen dessert from Walls and there was also a 50p off voucher, they sounded delicious and I remembered to look out for them next time I was at the supermarket.
Fast forward a month and whilst browsing the freezer aisles in Asda I spotted them at the end of the aisle on promotion for £1 a pack, I popped some in the trolley and carried on shopping.
*~*What is Frusi?*~*
Frusi is made by Walls who have produced its famous ice-cream in the UK for over 80 years. Frusi is a frozen dessert with a difference as it contains no preservatives or colours and contains 50% of the daily vitamin C requirement.
The dessert has a wholegrain oats and caramelised cashew nut base which is followed by a layer of whole milk yogurt and topped off with a delicious fruit topping.
Each pack contains 2 individual pots held together in a cardboard outer wrapper displaying the name frusi and the flavour.
*~*Nutritional Information and Ingredients*~*
Each 136g pot contains the following:-
107 Kcals
15g Sugar
23g Fat
1.2g saturates
0.038g salt
Fructose syrup, acerola cherry juice, lemon juice, emulsifier, stabiliser, whole milk yougurt, sugar, reconstituted skimmed milk, cream, glucose-fructose syrup and muesli (whole grain oat flakes, cashew nuts, wheatflour, palm oil, cane sugar, cinnamon powder,honey)
Each flavour contains different amounts of fruit and this varies on each flavour.
There is a note on the packaging stating that there may be traces of peanuts however this is not very clear on the packaging which is not ideal for those with a nut allergy.
The dessert is stored in the freezer and is eaten whilst frozen, however I find it more enjoyable to remove from the freezer approximately 5-10 minutes before consuming as it softens the fruit a little.
There are currently 3 flavours available:
Pineapple and Raspberry
Raspberry and Mango
Fruits of the Forest (Raspberry, Blackberry, Balckcurrants, Redcurrants)
I have tried all 3 flavours and my favourite has to be the Pineapple and Raspberry.
Fruits of the forest is a little too sour for my liking, and the other two flavours a more enjoyable as they are a little sweeter.
Each flavour has a real fruit taste and is much tastier than other frozen fruit desserts I have ever had such as Cheesecakes and frozen berries as the consistency of the fruit does not become mushy.
As you take the first mouthful the sweet fruit taste hits the taste buds, the consistency is somewhat similar to a sorbet but with real fruit pieces, as you get to the next layer the frozen yoghurt has a nice creamy consistency that is not overly sweet so the fruit does complement this well not making it taste too sickly. The final layer is the wholegrain oats which tastes a little like a flapjack with the honey and caramelised cashew nuts this really is a tasty dessert.
I have since bought more of these desserts whilst they are on the promotional price of £1 per pack, the recommended retail price is £1.49 which still isn't overly expensive for this dessert.
My partner had been moaning that he missed having tasty desserts since we had both kicked into healthy eating mode and when I asked him to give this a try he said he really enjoyed it, he also agrred that the fruits of the forest was a little sour so I know that there was nothing wrong with my taste buds!
For those on the slimming world diet these work out at 5.5 syns per pot which is much lower than any other desserts I have so far come across and I would imagine that on Weightwatchers they would work out a similar amount of points making them suitable for anyone on a weightloss programme.
If you like fruit and like frozen desserts then I would recommend trying these whilst they are on offer.
"Frusì it's a tasty snack made with fruit (frozen to help seal in the goodness), creamy yoghurt, and wholegrain cereals. Frusì is packed with fruit, which can be a natural source of vitamin C (50% of your Recommended Daily Allowance in a single Frusì pot); and wholegrain cereals which provide natural fibre (and we all know what that helps)."

Atlantic Beach incorporated in 1925 and became part of Jacksonville during consolidation in 1968, while retaining its municipal charter and local government. After platting the neighborhood in 1961, Hugh Edwards began developing the approximately 800 home sites. He created a one-acre park, known as the Modesky Memorial Playground, and also built the boat ramp, including a parking lot and picnic area, which he donated to Duval County in 1963 and 1964 respectively. Edwards dredged a canal to provide boat access to the Intracoastal Waterway and anchorage facilities for waterfront homeowners. The boat ramp and park are legacies of a developer who understood the value of recreational facilities for a well-planned community.

THE seven PUDEMO arrested members have been granted E15 000 bail each by High Court Judge Mumcy Dlamini.
Mlungisi Makhanya, Bongani Hlangabeza Gama, Ntobeko Gideon Maseko, Siza Jabulani Tsabedze, Brian Clive Ntshangase, Mangaliso Menzi Khumalo and Bafana Mabandla Khumalo couldn't hold their joy when Judge Mumcy delivered her judgment yesterday at the High Court.
About 100 people crammed the courtroom to support the seven who were arrested two weeks ago whilst attending the ongoing trial of incarcerated The Nation Magazine Editor Bheki Makhubu and Human Rights Lawyer Thulani Maseko.
Makhubu and Maseko are facing contempt of court charges emanating from articles published in The Nation Magazine during the February and March issues. The articles were in relation to the arrest of Government Chief Vehicle Inspector Vincent Bhantshana Gwebu.
PUDEMO is a proscribed entity, according to the Suppression of Terrorism Act.
The seven were found wearing berets and T-shirts written PUDEMO and this, according to the Act, is an offence. They were all charged with four counts of terrorism.
On the first count, they are charged with contravening Section 11 (1) (a) of the Suppression of Terrorism Act no.3 of 2008. On the second charge they contravened Section 11 (1) (b) of the same act. It is alleged that on Tuesday and Wednesday last week along High Court, Mbabane Bus Rank and Mahlokohla Street near kaZondle corridor, they unlawfully solicited support for and or gave support to a terrorist entity, PUDEMO.
They are said to have chanted slogans while wearing the white T-shirts written PUDEMO and reflecting terrorist demands at the back. They also wore red and black PUDEMO berets and thus contravened this act.
They were also charged with contravening Section 4 (a) (b) (c) and (e) read together with Section 3 (c) and (e) of the Sedition and Subversive Activities Act no.46 of 1938 as amended.
With their act they are alleged to have attempted, prepared, and conspired with others to do an act with seditious intentions. According to this charge, they brought into hatred or contempt or to excite disaffection against the administration of justice in Swaziland and or promote feelings of ill-will and hostility between different classes of the population in the country.
Judge Mumcy noted that all the PUDEMO members had their families in the country. She said this included Makhanya who is said to have businesses in South Africa. Judge Dlamini noted that Makhanya comes to the country to be with his wife and children almost every weekend.
"A perusal of the four counts reflects that the mischief alleged against applicants is that they unlawfully solicited or gave support to a terrorist entity i.e. PUDEMO by wearing T-shirts with inscription PUDEMO. Nothing turns on enchanting of terrorist slogans because there are no specific words mentioned in the indictment indicating the same," she noted.
The judge said nothing was to be said of the seriousness of the charges the seven are facing after the state counsel withdrew his submission that the applicants were charged with an offence of violence. This was after he was asked by the court to demonstrate where such was shown in the charge sheet. They were each granted E15 000 bail. They were ordered to pay E5 000 cash and provide surety to the tune of E10 000.
All of them were ordered to submit their travelling documents or passports to the head of investigation team and not apply for any.
However, Makhanya was granted leave to retain one of his travelling documents for purposes of attending only to his employment in South Africa.
They were also ordered to report to Mbabane Police Station, Lukhozi Department once every last Saturday of each month-end.

CONT: med school awards
Carver has been a teacher, researcher, and an administrator and has earned national recognition for his research in cardiovascular disease. He was singled out for his absolute commitment to the SOM and his willingness to always step forward when the medical school needed his expertise and assistance regardless of the task.
Ford was recognized for not only running a highly efficient and professional office, but also for creating a welcoming environment for applicants and students by doing everything from planting flowers to giving each one her undivided attention. Greenhouse is a resident continuity preceptor and has served on many department and Children`s Hospital committees. She welcomes students to her office virtually every week, giving them a chance to experience general pediatric practice, Hoppmann said.
Magill was cited for his unflagging support of the medical school and his efforts to strengthen the partnership between the USC and the S.C. Department of Mental Health. "He believes in the importance of education if the state is to continue to provide quality mental healthcare to its citizens both now and in the future," Hoppmann said.
Platt joined the department of family and preventive medicine in 1986 and has served as vice chairman of the department and as president of the Educational Trust Board for three terms. He is a recipient of the S.C. Family Physician of the Year Award. He is known as an outstanding clinician, and a wonderful faculty member and role model, Hoppmann said.
Hoppmann called Raymond an accomplished clinician, an astute administrator, and a true academician with a strong commitment to medical education. Leigh Watson is known as an outstanding clinician and teacher and a strong student advocate and a superb role model for students, residents, and faculty. Hoppmann said.
Reid, who joined the VA in 1993, was singled out for his many contributions to the medical school, including his service on the Admissions Committee, his work with the Office of Minority Affairs and his interests in the well-being and careers of students and residents.
Robert Watson joined the SOM in 1987 as a systems supervisor and has overseen the development and implementation of the SOM computer network. Hoppmann said he has "the rare combination of ultimate geek knowledge and great interpersonal skills."
Wentzky, who oversees a variety of activities and deals with all kinds of student issues, has earned the respect and admiration of colleagues and students alike, Hoppmann said. "She has played a major role in making the Greenville medical program the excellent teaching center and student friendly place it is today," he said.
The awards are given every other year.

The Australian dollar has extended its slide against the greenback and local stocks are poised for further falls as investors fret over political uncertainty in Europe.
- Wall Street retreats for third day
- Hollande stresses growth after Merkel meeting
- Read our daily need2know column
Nine days of efforts to form a new government in Greece failed overnight, with the country's president saying the country will now hold fresh elections as early as June 10.
The prospect that Greek voters will reject tough usterity measures and trigger an exit from the eurozone sent the euro to a four-month low against the US dollar.
France's new president Francois Hollande also held talks with German chancellor Angela Merkel overnight. Ms Merkel said the two leaders wanted Greece to remain in the eurozone and said they were ready to help the crisis-stricken country to return to economic growth.
Despite those comments, renewed investor worries about the outlook for the global economy have hammered commodity prices and dented currencies linked to them, such as the Australian dollar.
The dollar dropped as low as 99.22 US cents, after it rose back above parity with the greenback overnight. It was recently buying 99.4 US cents, 78 euro cents, 62.1 pence and 79.7 yen.
Market retreat
Australian shares retreated further in morning trading, losing another 1.2 per cent at the open. Big miners, BHP Billiton and Rio Tinto shed about 3 per cent each.
Shaw Stockbroking adviser Jamie Spiteri, though, doesn't expect a plunge in the local market today but shares will be "marked lower" at the start."
Only two weeks ago there was a thought of optimism because we were going into a lower interest rate environment and would potentially see a lower Aussie dollar which would help domestic industries here," Mr Spiteri said.
"But you can't ignore the fact there are reasons for interest rates lowering and reasons for consumer confidence going low," he said, citing worries about Europe's deepening woes as part of the drag on local sentiment.
Among major share markets, New York's Dow Jones Industrial Index ended 0.5 per cent lower, while London's FTSE100 also lost 0.5 per cent and Germany's Dax eased 0.8 per cent.
Oil prices sank to five-month lows, with futures recently down to $US93.18 a barrel. Gold also lost further ground, easing to $US1544 an ounce.
Greece impasse
Greece's main political parties have been trying to form a government since last week's elections demolished the ruling coalition.
However, division over austerity measures, imposed in order to secure bailout funding from the European Union, have stalled negotiations.
Socialist party leader Evangelos Venizelos announced overnight that talks between the parties had broken down, meaning fresh elections will need to be held next month.
"The country is once again headed to elections in a few days under adverse conditions," said Mr Venizelos. "The Greek people told us they didn't want elections but a coalition government, that they want Greece in the euro."
Polls say Syriza, a political party opposed to Greece's international bailout that came second in the May 6 poll, may win fresh elections, complicating Greece's efforts to avoid running out of cash by early July.
President Karolos Papoulias failed to broker a governing coalition in meetings yesterday with Venizelos and other party leaders in Athens.
The standoff has reignited concern the country will renege on pledges to cut spending as required by the terms of its two bailouts worth 240 billion euros ($310 billion) negotiated since May 2010, and, ultimately, leave the 17-nation euro area.
Elections must be held within four weeks at the latest, meaning the vote would probably be on June 10 or June 17.
From 'Merkozy' to 'Merkollande'
Separately, new French President Francois Hollande and German Chancellor Angela Merkel acknowledged differences on Tuesday over how to boost growth in recession-plagued Europe, but pledged to work together on a joint approach in time for a summit next month.
Hollande jetted to Berlin hours after his inauguration to meet Merkel for the first time, but arrived over an hour late after his plane was hit by lightning and he was forced to return briefly to Paris.
The meeting between the leaders of Europe's biggest economies was being closely watched after Hollande sharply criticised Merkel during his campaign for insisting on tough austerity in highly indebted euro countries.
He has vowed to shift Europe's focus back to growth and reopen a tough new set of budget rules that Merkel and other EU leaders agreed to adopt earlier this year, a step considered taboo in Berlin.
"I said it during my election campaign and I say it again now as president that I want to renegotiate what has been agreed to include a growth dimension," Hollande told a joint news conference with Merkel at her Chancellery in the German capital.
Merkel shunned Hollande, a Socialist, during the French election campaign, instead supporting conservative incumbent Nicolas Sarkozy, with whom she has worked closely for the past five years. The duo earned the moniker "Merkozy" for their cooperation during the euro zone debt crisis.
The new Franco-German couple - referred to by some as "Merkollande" - took care to play down their differences on Tuesday, hoping to send a signal of unity at a time when speculation is growing that Greece may have to exit the euro zone and return to the drachma.
"Growth has to feed through to the people. And that's why I'm happy that we'll discuss different ideas on how to achieve growth," Merkel said.
They said the goal was to present joint proposals at a European Union summit in late June.

Alan Pardew has admitted today that he is continually talking to Papiss Cisse, and trying to calm him, so that the 27 year-old Senegal striker can somehow get his best form back, and start firing those goals in again for Newcastle.
Papiss Cisse – Alan Pardew talking to him all the time
There are lots of our players out at the moment with injury – Ryan Taylor, Haris Vuckic, Dan Gosling, Ben Arfa, Steven Taylor, Yohan Cabaye, Shola Ameobi, Gabby Obertan and Adam Campbell – that's nine players and includes Adam Campbell, who is still a fringe player at the club at only 17.
The Newcastle manager is just pleased he has a player of Cisse's immense ability to call on, and he had this to say in the local press today about Papiss:
"I am talking to him and trying to calm him, tell him that he's still he same player and we are still very confident in him." "It's only been a small period if you compare it to, say Torres' period, but you would have to say it's something we are going to have to keep an eye on."
"That's because we don't want it to end up like poor old Torres has ended up at times." "He's a great player, Papiss, and we want to get the best out of him."
And Alan has also admitted that the training ground is not a happy place at the moment, because of all the injuries to the Newcastle squad, and he had this to say:
"It doesn't help your mood. You have to lift yourself and look for the positives." "The training ground is a negative place, to a degree, because everyone is feeling a little bit sorry for themselves, and you have to shake that out and be professional about it."
"But it does affect your mood, you can't help that, and there's a determination on our training ground to put it right." "We are going to Stoke, one of the most difficult places there is to do that, but that's what we are going to try to do."
The worst thing that players can do is to feel sorry for themselves when things are not going well, which invariably happens for any team in the Premier League during a season.
We have to buckle down and win or a good performance could be what we need to start turning the season around.
We hope that can happen tonight at the Britannia Stadium.
Howay The Lads!!

Near the end of Shem Creek as it spills out into the
Charleston Harbor, this vivid blue and white shrimper prepared to leave the dock. Repetitive shadows created
a pattern of diagonal slats on the hull. Rhythmic dock poles plus booms and stern rigging created strong linear movement.
Billowing clouds against the dark prussion blue shrimper offered dramatic contrast.
Tall rhythmic marsh grasses filled the foreground at low tide. Careful placement of shrimp boats leads your eye towards
the opening in Shem Creek.
In late October, the Shem Creek marsh turns golden
yellow. Frequent storms appear suddenly creating dramatic movement in the grasses and swirling cloud formations. Hide tide
pools appear. Wooden pathways to the boat docks can be glimpsed in the distance. Shrimp boats, clustered in the distance
wait out the storm.

Two bills face likely veto
03/20/08 5:10PM By Bob Kinzel
| Download MP3
(Host) Governor Jim Douglas and the Legislature are on a collision course regarding two bills that deal with Vermont's election system.
The first bill implements the instant run off voting system in federal races - the second is a new campaign finance reform plan.
Douglas doesn't like either bill and it's likely that he'll veto both of them.
VPRs Bob Kinzel reports:
(Kinzel) Both bills are set to go to the governor for his review in the next few days following final approval by the House and the Senate.
Because there are concerns that using the instant run off voting system for state races might require a constitutional amendment, the bill applies only to elections for the U.S House and the U.S. Senate.
IRV is used only when no candidate receives 50% of the vote. It allows voters to list candidates in order of preference and if no candidate gets a majority of votes, the top two vote getters remain in the race. Then the second choice preferences for the other candidates on the ballot are tabulated, ultimately giving one of the top two candidates a majority of votes.
Senate Government Operations chairwoman Jeannette White says it's important for candidates to receive a majority of votes to win an election:
(White) "When you truly had a very strong two party system you didn't run into that because you had two parties but now we have in Vermont four parties and often more and I think people are more interested in pursuing independents...and other parties so I think it's just opening everything up."
The governor says he disagrees with the basic concept of the bill:
(Douglas) "I don't support it, it's a hypothetical election it's not one person one vote as I see it I really believe that it's not the kind of change in our electoral system that would be in the state's best interests."
Douglas says he doesn't like the campaign finance reform bill because it limits contributions from political parties to individual candidates. The cap is set at 30 thousand dollars per election for both a state party and a national party:
(Douglas) "Political parties are organized for the sole purpose of supporting their candidates and getting them elected I really don't see why there should be any kind of restriction on their participation."
But White says it's important to include political parties under the scope of the bill:
(White) "Our point is that we want to limit campaign contributions and if we don't limit them then we're not limiting them...in the governor's race he could get 30 thousand dollars from the state party and 30 thousand from the national party so it's a lot less than before but it's still 60 thousand dollars from the party that's a fair amount of money in Vermont."
Based on previous votes, it appears there may be enough support in the Senate to override the governor's veto of both bills but the situation in the House is less clear because the IRV bill passed by only an 18 vote margin.
For VPR News I'm Bob Kinzel in Montpelier.

Time has dulled the shock of Joe Orton's "Loot."
But it has not dulled the laughter that comes fast, loud and frequently in this 1966 play by the British playwright, whose writing career was cut short when his lover murdered him not long after this play became a hit in London.
Live Theatre Workshop's production of "Loot" whips us back to the mid-1960s (pre-show music including tunes by Eric Burdon and the Animals helps) and quickly gives us permission to lap up Orton's anarchic humor, clever writing and outlandish situations.
The highlights:
It's a farce
Here's the situation: Mr. McLeavy, an older gentleman and devout Catholic, is mourning the death of his wife, whose casket sits in the drawing room of his apartment. Fay, the nurse who cared for his wife in her final days, wears black lace stockings and is convinced a fortnight is the appropriate time for Mr. McLeavy to wait before marrying again. And, of course, he should marry Fay, who has already buried seven husbands.
McLeavy's son, Hal, is a thief who cannot lie. He and his friend, Dennis, have robbed the bank that sits next to the funeral home where Dennis works. The loot is hidden in the locked wardrobe in the drawing room. But Hal and Dennis decide that it would be far wiser to hide the money in the casket — and Mrs. McLeavy's body in the wardrobe — until the heat is off and they can exhume the casket and take the money and run.
Things go completely awry when Truscott, a Scotland Yard inspector, barges in, representing himself as a member of the local water board. The water board, it seems, does not need a warrant to search. And it's just easier to bully people if he pretends he isn't a cop.
All hell breaks loose from there.
The targets
Nothing is sacred to Orton, which ups the hilarity. Among those he skewers:
- British law enforcement — at one point, Fay claims she is innocent until proven guilty. "Who's been filling your head with that rubbish?" Inspector Truscott responds
- , going on to tell her that if he is forced to forge her confession it could prejudice her case
- .
- The Catholic church, hypocrisy — McLeavy values a framed picture of Pope Pius XII, who is said to have been a Nazi sympathizer
- , and definitely was silent when the Germans began exterminating Jews during World War II, is displayed with pride in McLeavy's house
- .
- Death — McLeavy mourns his wife's death while rejoicing that she had the good sense to die when roses were in bloom. And the treatment of poor Mrs. McLeavy's body was shocking when the show was first staged, and is even a bit shocking today.
The acting
Farce won't work if the actors aren't committed and take it very seriously. They were both and more in this LTW production.
Rhonda Hallquist's comedic sense is pristine in her portrayal of Fay, a murderess, seductress, and thief. Stephen Frankenfield and Steve Wood played Dennis and Hal respectively, and they both plunged into the farcical elements of the play with abandon. Michael F. Woodson, a bumbling Mr. McLeavy, perfectly conveyed the man's sorrow at the loss of his wife, as well as the character's duplicity and willful ignorance of crimes that explode in his house and around him. Nick Trice's Truscott, a detective with no moral backbone, was a hoot, as was Ed Fuller, in the small, almost wordless role of Meadows, Truscott's sidekick. The whole cast embraced the subversive silliness of it all.
The directing
Annette Hillman has a sharp instinct for humor and how to wring the most out of a comic script. She shaped a play that was outrageously funny, without ever sacrificing Orton's pointed jabs at social mores, corrupt policeman, and a Catholic church that the playwright implies lacks a conscience and a soul.
Worth seeing?
Oh yes.

Under the direction of their chief conductor Sir Simon Rattle, the Berliner Philharmoniker said farewell to 2013 with their New Year's Eve concert. For the January 2014 concert series, they have invited three magnificent guest conductors who could hardly be more different: Semyon Bychkov, Zubin Mehta and Alan Gilbert. The Russian conductor Semyon Bychkov, a pupil of Ilya Musin, was a fan of the Berliner Philharmoniker even when he was a teenager, and even spent a night in police custody after a failed attempt to smuggle himself secretly into a sold out concert given by the orchestra in St. Petersburg. Ever since he stood in at short notice for the indisposed Riccardo Muti in 1985 and – as the press noted – made a "conducting debut of considerable calibre", he has been a regular guest of the Philharmoniker. Although in his almost thirty years' association with the Philharmoniker he has conducted a wide variety of works ranging from Joseph Haydn to Magnus Lindberg, his main focus is the works of Russian composers, notably Dmitri Shostakovich. So for his next appearance, one of Shostakovich's symphonies is again on the programme: No. 11, subtitled The Year 1905, which depicts the events of "Bloody Sunday" in St. Petersburg. As the musical counterpart to this sombre work, Bychkov has set Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart's Piano Concerto in G major KV 453. Making his debut with the Berliner Philharmoniker, the soloist is the 90-year-old Menahem Pressler, founder and pianist of the Beaux Arts Trio.
The grandsigneur
Zubin Mehta has been connected to the orchestra even longer than Semyon Bychkov. Following his Philharmonic debut in 1961, he was hailed by the press as "a discovery from India", and as the "up and coming man of his age group". Prophetic words indeed! Hardly any other guest conductor has worked so long, regularly and consistently with the Berliner Philharmoniker as he has. He has covered all styles and genres: Classical, Romantic, Modern, new music, symphonic, opera, oratorio. And yet, even after all these years, Zubin Mehta manages to surprise again and again with the new: In his last appearance with the Berliner Philharmoniker in March 2012, he conducted Anton Bruckner's Eighth Symphony for the first time with the orchestra. "A performance such as you are likely to hear only once in a blue moon," raved the critic of the Tagesspiegel. This time, he is conducting Bruckner's Ninth, a work that he last conducted with the Philharmoniker in 1971. And this is followed by a further series of concerts which include the Six Pieces for Orchestra by Anton Webern, Ein Heldenleben by Richard Strauss, and Ludwig van Beethoven's Fifth Piano Concerto with Rudolf Buchbinder as soloist.
The man from New York
Compared with Semyon Bychkov and Zubin Mehta, the native New Yorker Alan Gilbert is still a "newcomer" to the orchestra: His first appearance with the Berliner Philharmoniker was eight years ago. As a stand-in for Bernard Haitink, he made his debut with the orchestra in February 2006. In the subsequent three concert programmes which he conducted with the Philharmoniker, the works of Czech composers played a major role: Antonín Dvořák's symphonic poem The Noon Witch, and his Cello Concerto, Bohuslav Martinů's Fourth Symphony and Leoš Janácek's Violin Concerto Putování dušičky (The Wandering of a Little Soul ). He conducted the latter work as part of Musikfest Berlin at the beginning of this season together with Witold Lutosławski's Fourth Symphony and Bartók's ballet music The Wooden Prince, a concert which, according to the Berliner Morgenpost, made Alan Gilbert look like a "triumphant victor". In his concerts at the end of January and the beginning of February, Dvořák's Cello Concerto is once again on the programme with Truls Mørk as the soloist, plus the orchestral work Kraft by Magnus Lindberg. Gilbert, head of the New York Philharmonic since 2009, describes this large-scale piece as a milestone in the work of the Finnish composer.

2013 Kansas II (Chase 4): Brian Vickers NASCAR Sprint Cup Race Preview
Posted by: newsla on Oct 02, 2013 - 10:23 AM
2013 Kansas II (Chase 4): Brian Vickers NASCAR Sprint Cup Race Preview
The Friday night before driving his No. 55 Aaronâs Dream Machine to a 12th-place finish in Dover, Brian Vickers visited a local cinema to watch director Ron Howardâs new racing movie Rush. The screenplay chronicles the 1976 Formula One championship battle between James Hunt and Niki Lauda. The movie touches some personal feelings for Vickers who spent time with Lauda in Europe. A near fatal injury in the 1976 season forced Lauda to watch races from a hospital bed, much like blood clots forced Vickers to do in 2010.
Below is his review of the movie:
âRush was a great movie. Even if you arenât into Formula One or NASCAR I think youâll find it an interesting story. James Hunt and Niki Lauda were the fiercest of rivals in racing and â I wonât ruin the ending for anyone who doesnât know the story - thereâs a lot of twists and turns as they battled for the championship throughout the 1976 season.
âEvery professional race car driver relates to a rival â weâve all had our rivals during our careers. I think the movie shows what we all might not want to admit that your rival pushes you past limits that you didnât realize you had. Thereâs a great scene in the movie. Niki Lauda admits to Hunt that - as he was recovering in the hospital after getting badly burned and nearly dying - watching Hunt win races on television motivated him to get better faster. Man, that hit home. I donât think Iâm anything like Niki Lauda but I can definitely relate to that scene. I remember watching races in the hospital after I had the blood clots. Thatâs mental torture for a race car driver and the desire to get back to racing overrides even your health issues.
âRush is one of the few movies that kind of portrayed drivers as how we really are. Weâre all different. I think a lot of times there are stereotypes for race car drivers, but this movie shows successful drivers with very different personalities. Niki had a single-minded approach to racing where thatâs all he thought about and didnât care if he was liked by anyone. James Hunt was a guy that enjoyed life partying and having a lot of fun. They were completely different but both were successful. Thatâs true in whatever form of racing youâre in. Heck, thatâs true in life. Iâve got a different personality than Jimmie Johnson who is different than Clint Bowyer who is different than someone else. Weâre drivers but we are people and people are all different. Thereâs no formula for success other than talent and hard work.
âOne thing I admire Niki for is there are two people that this movie is about and only one of them is alive. You can see how he could easily spin the story in his favor but he didnât. I felt like it was a very balanced, genuine story. He had his positives and his negatives, and he didnât try to hide them. I admire that. Many times history favors the victors and I felt for him being honest about who he was and who James was, for better or worse. I got to spend time around Niki when I drove for Red Bull and the movie actor got him perfect. I can also relate to James Huntâs perspective, which is feeling that you should enjoy life. For me, I think the ultimate answer is a balance between James Huntâs and Niki Laudaâs mentalities. But thatâs just me, other guys will answer differently.
âNASCAR fans will find similarities between Rush and Days of Thunder. I donât know where I would rank Rush on my list of all-time great racing but I hope itâs a success. Good racing movies take the sport to new audiences and hopefully will win us new fans no matter what form of motorsport weâre in.â

Kathy Rose's work has evolved from her early drawn animated films of the 1970s, through her unique, pioneering performance work combining dance with film in the 1980-1990s, to her current surreal performance-video spectacles and installations, with influence from symbolist art and the Japanese Noh theater. Rose received a Guggenheim Fellowship in Performance Art in 2003, and in 2005 was awarded a New York State Council on the Arts grant in Video (Media & New Technology).
Rose has toured extensively in live performance throughout the United States and Europe, her numerous appearances include the Museum of Modern Art's Cineprobe, Kennedy Center, Serious Fun at Lincoln Center, Fondation Cartier pour l'art Contemporain, the Walker Art Center,The Kitchen, Institute of Contemporary Art in London, Danspace-St. Marks Church, Baltimore Art Museum, Akademie der Kunst/Berlin, Gulbenkian Foundation in Lisbon, Virginia Museum of Contemporary Art, as well as performances in Geneva, Helsinki, Amsterdam, Hiroshima, etc. Her video installation works have been exhibited at the Victoria & Albert Museum, Aldrich Museum, Cooper Union and others.
She has received six grants from the National Endowment for the Arts, four from the New York State Council for the Arts and three from the New York Foundation for the Arts, as well as grants from Harvestworks Digital, the Marie Walsh Sharpe Art Foundation, American Film Institute, Finishing Funds/Experimental Video Center and others. Grants were awarded in categories including film, dance, choregraphy and video. Rose is a Distinguished Alumna of the California Institute of the Arts.
Her recent videos have shown in many festivals including: "Parallel Irrealities" at the Black Maria Film Festival; "Life in the Web" has shown at the Ann Arbor Film Festival 2007, Atlanta Video Festival 2007, Syracuse Video Festival 2007, USA Film Festival at Rutgers 2007; "Digifest" has shown at Venice Italy Motion Pictures 5th Annual Dance Film/Video Festival, Wilma Theater, Philadelphia Short Film Market/Cannes, 2D or not 2D Animation Festival November Dance 07.

Recent performances include: "Ingenuity", the Cleveland Festival of Art Music and Technology; "The Cathedral of Emptiness", the Ammerman Center for Arts and Technology at Connecticut College - 12th Biennial Symposium for Arts and Technology, etc.
Rose lives and works in Philadelphia, teaching several courses at the University of the Arts, including Image and Performance, Dance and Media, Autobiographical Art, and History of Performance Art. She has a BFA in Film from the Philadelphia College of Art (1971) and an MFA in Animation from the California Institute of the Arts (1974).
Artist Statement:
"In my performance, video, and installation work - each medium affects and transforms the other. From the gold masked figure and dripping empty-eyed face in "Queen of the Fluids", to the eerie floating mask in "Interiosity" and the puppet constructs of "She", "Inn of Floating Imagery", I am constantly creating a pictorial female art persona, often with inspiration from the supernatural figures portrayed in Japanese theater and art."
My work since 1983 has involved the integration of myself and other dancers with projected film, and video in performances and single channel works. I am intrigued with creating art that is hypnotic and challenging to our perception.
My work involves creating a new stage metaphysics - an eerie irreality. In performance, my consistent intent has been to extend the film/video element into a greater poetic and physical dimensionality by virtue of the live context in performance. I have found that the performance aspect itself has to be graphically strong and yet coalesce with its imagistic environment. Too much activity from any of the elements – performance, or video - destroys the organic unity of the whole, fracturing the illusion. With one medium entering freely into the world of the other, I can subvert the forms to create a new genre.
In recent work - "The Vocabulary of the Veils" incorporated my performance in a setting of suspended veils accompanied by eerie life sized sculptural video puppets. I made extensive use of veils as a porous medium - a way to voyage just below the surface of our known reality. The veils let some imagery pass through and not others, and I found myself working to find their language. An added influence in this piece was the work of symbolist artists such as Odilon Redon, and Spanish painting of the 19th century.
"The Cathedral of Emptiness" and "Interiosity" continue to elaborate on the use of veils and projections, integrating the live performance within to create a hypnotic and mesmerizing experience.
I have been significantly influenced by the supernatural art and theater of Japan, including Japanese Noh and Bunraku theater, and Butoh dance. In a previous work, completed with a Guggenheim grant, -"Kleopat'Ra" - I combined film with performance – melding a Noh theater influence with Egyptian statuary, and portrayng a figurine, wearing gilded makeup, with eyes painted on my lids. Towards the end of the performance, the eyes dripped off my face dribbling onto the floor, signifying the spirit leaving the body of the figurine. I have since been working with this empty-eyed invented character, recast as an iconographic female personage.
Most of my shooting of video sets for recent work has been done in miniature, resulting in a more totemic effect when this imagery is projected onto the stage area and the live performer is set within them. In creating this work, I use a doll standing in for my live self, on a small "stage" in order to experiment with my design of the event. The work of japanese puppet animator Kihichiro Kawamoto who created a number of beautiful films using miniature sets has also been very inspirational for me.
I have also been very affected by the work of Walt Whitman, such as his poem "The Sleepers" with his imagery depicting the unconscious and his feeling for the universal and community of mankind.

From 'Red Line' To Carte Blanche: The Chemical Weapons Attacks Washington Ignores
After an alleged chemical weapons attack reportedly killed up to 1,300 people in Syria last week, the Obama administration has announced it will consider a range of response options while U.S. ships head toward Syria in preparation for a possible full-blown military intervention.
Although the U.S. decries chemical weapons use in Syria as an unacceptable "red line" issue, an investigation by Foreign Policy, which featured recently declassified CIA documents, indicates that Washington once supported Saddam Hussein's use of chemical weapons during the Iran-Iraq War in attacks that killed thousands of Iranian soldiers and civilians.
"The U.S. government may be considering military action in response to chemical strikes near Damascus. But a generation ago, America's military and intelligence communities knew about and did nothing to stop a series of nerve gas attacks far more devastating than anything Syria has seen," Shane Harris and Matthew M. Aid report.
The administration of President Ronald Reagan never disclosed U.S. knowledge of Iraqi chemical weapons, while sharing satellite maps and strategic information that assisted the Iraqi military, led by Saddam Hussein, to carry out major chemical weapons attacks in its offensive against Iran.
Documents and interviews with former intelligence officials like Air Force Col. Rick Francona, point to the fact that the U.S. had solid evidence of Iraqi chemical attacks dating back to 1983. At the time, Iran was alleging that illegal chemical attacks were carried out on its forces, in violation of international law that prohibits the use of chemical warfare.
"The Iraqis never told us that they intended to use nerve gas. They didn't have to. We already knew," Francona told Foreign Policy in a statement.
The U.S. supported Hussein even when he used chemical weapons against the Kurdish town of Halabja in 1988. The attack involving a mix of mustard gas and nerve agents, killed 5,000 civilians and injured thousands more in an attack many consider an act of genocide.
Leaders in Washington and their allies now are attempting to justify a potential military intervention along "humanitarian" lines, to stop a foreign leader from using chemical weapons against rebel groups. The alleged chemical weapons attack in Syria marks the latest provocation in a brutal war that has killed more than 100,000 and displaced at least 1.7 million, according to United Nations statistics. President Obama announced two years ago that the use of chemical weapons would amount to crossing a "red line" that would prompt a U.S. response.
"We are gathering information on this particular event. What I can say is that unlike some of the evidence we were trying to get earlier that led to a U.N. investigator going into Syria, what we've seen indicates that this is clearly a big event, of grave concern," President Obama said during a recent CNN interview.
Many policy experts warn that the influx of foreign fighters joining radical groups like the Nusra Front, the Syrian Islamic Front and other al-Qaida affiliates could further destabilize the region should the U.S. help topple Bashar al-Assad.
Reports of an influx of extremists were underscored this week by Alexander Lukashevich, a spokesman for Russia's foreign ministry, who claimed that there are now between 6,000 and 40,000 foreign fighters inside Syria.

The religious edict or fatwa was issued by the Darul-Uloom Deoband, a powerful Islamic school which was established more than 150 years ago.
The Deoband school promote a radical brand of Islam which is said to have inspired the Taleban in Afghanistan.
But other Muslim bodies in India have opposed its latest ruling.
The alleged rape attracted widespread attention after reports that reports that a Muslim council of community elders had ordered the victim to marry her father-in-law.
On Friday, the alleged victim failed to appear before a Sharia court set up by Darul-uloom Deoband to hear the case, the Press Trust of India reports.
Earlier reports quoted her as saying she would abide by the fatwa.
A body of Muslim women said the Deoband ruling was "against the spirit and essence of Islam, which gives equal rights to women".
"The Islamic clerics have failed to differentiate between sex by consent and rape by force," Shaista Amber, president of the All India Muslim Women's Personal Law Board, is quoted as saying by the Asian Age newspaper.
Feroze Mithoborwala of the Muslim Youth of India described the fatwa as absurd.
"Why should she be punished for no fault of hers?" he told the Times of India newspaper.
Another Muslim women's organisations, Awaz-e-Niswan, said the fatwa was "shocking".
"Who has given these people the power to issue fatwas?
"We will mobilise public opinion against this fatwa," Hasina Khan of the Awaz-e-Niswan said.
On Thursday, women's groups protested in the northern city of Muzaffarnagar, where the alleged rape took place.
It coincided with the visit of a team from India's National Commission of Women, sent to investigate the case.
"We want justice for the woman," NCW head Girija Vyas told journalists after meeting the alleged victim.
In its ruling the Darul-Uloom Deoband did not endorse the village council's order that the victim had to marry her father-in-law but said she could no longer live with her husband.
"She had a physical relationship with her father-in-law. It does not matter if it was consensual or forced," Mohammad Masood Madani, a cleric at Deoband, told Reuters.
The woman's father-in-law has been arrested and is in jail.

Leetsdale millage could change again
Leetsdale's tax rate could be changing — again.
Council members could vote Thursday to adjust the borough's property tax rate to 8 mills, council President Joe McGurk said.
It would be the third time since December that council members have altered the millage, which was set at 10 mills in 2012 but had to be adjusted based on the Allegheny County property reassessments.
Under state law, officials must reduce millage so not to reap a windfall of extra tax money after a reassessment. Officials in municipalities around Allegheny County also have adjusted tax rates for 2013.
Council approved a 7.5-mill property tax rate last month, but, McGurk said, with 56 assessment appeals pending, the "potential decrease in revenue is mind-boggling" for the community of about 1,200 residents. McGurk said about 20 of those appeals deal with property in the industrial parks."This has been a nightmare for me," McGurk said.
In a special meeting held March 1, council members approved, 5-0, to consider changing the millage. Osman Awad and Wes James did not attend.
"We did what we thought would be correct," McGurk said. "If somehow at the end of the year, we need to change it, we will do so."
