Bruce Matzel
CEO Brandywine Lifestyles, LLC
Developer - Builder
All of his life, Bruce Matzel has been an enthusiast believer. He built his first new home in 1970. After the success fo that home, from 1970 to 1979 he built approximately 200 more homes. In 1980 he changed his focus to the hospitality business and began to build hotels and motels. He still retains ownership of the first motel he built.
In 1985 he met Roger Mumford who became his partner and the Matzel & Mumford Organization was formed in central New Jersey. Through one the worst times in history for the building industry, October 1987 through 1991, Matzel & Mumford defied the odds and built a unique program to build and sell homes through those difficult years.
In 1992, Ernst and Young nominated Matzel & Mumford for "Entrepreneur of the Year" for their outstanding achievements from 1987 through 1991. Matzel & Mumford competed with strong and distinquished "dot com" companies for the award. The outcome resulted in Matzel & Mumford being recognized as the highly esteemed "Entrepreneur of the Year", Matzel & Mumford instituted a philosophy created by by the two principal owners, Bruce and Roger. The philosophy motivated every employee in the company to help them achieve their goals. The ultimate goal was to sell the Matzel & Mumford Organization to a public company. The commitment, drive, and sills of over 100 dedicated managers and employees helped Bruce and Roger achieve thieir goal. In December 1999, Matzel & Mumford was purchased by K. Hovnanian, a publicly held company.
Bruce then branched out and started building homes in Tennessee.
"My newest goal is to build and deliver the finest "low maintenance Lifestyle Communities in Tennessee and several other locations in the southeastern United States. I've selected a team of professionals and partners who share the same goals, values and commitment to deliver the very best homes and excellent customer service for our buyers. We have our own philosophy about the Low Maintenance Lifestyle within our communities - different than many other companies building today, we listen to your input to create a low maintenance community that will be an enjoyable lifestyle for you."

(CNSNews.com) – Turkish voters are set to hand a third term to the Islamist-leaning Justice and Development Party (AKP) this weekend, but the size of its victory will determine how freely Prime Minister Recep Tayyip Erdogan will be able to amend the constitution.
Erdogan, whose authoritarian tendencies and foreign policy shifts have prompted concerns, hopes to shift the country from a parliamentary to a presidential system. If he succeeds, some observers expect him to then seek the presidency after his presumed next term as prime minister expires in 2015, thus enabling him to extend his tenure as head of the executive branch beyond the normal three terms.
If the AKP obtains a two-thirds majority (367 seats in the 550-seat parliament) in the June 12 election, Erdogan will be able to change the constitution without consulting other parties or Turkish citizens.
If it fails to achieve that target but wins at least 60 percent of the seats (between 330 and 366 seats), then any constitutional amendment will require a referendum.
Recent polls show the AKP at around 50 percent, with the main secularist opposition Republican People's Party (CHP) – the party established by the founder of the modern Turkish state, Mustafa Kemal Ataturk – at the 25 point mark.
But Sunday's outcome could be affected significantly by a sex scandal involving the usually third-placed Nationalist Action Party (MHP). It was polling at around 11 percent before the scandal broke, and is now in disarray, with senior figures having resigned. If the MHP fails to achieve a 10 percent threshold needed to enter parliament, then the AKP would benefit most under Turkey's transferable vote system.
Erdogan strongly rejects accusations that his government's increasingly assertive foreign policies are moving Turkey, a NATO member, away from the West – concerns prompted by his deepening ties with Iran and Syria, support for Hamas, and evident hostility towards Israel.
At home, he has been accused of trying to muzzle critics in the media, an issue that sparked a diplomatic spat last February when U.S. ambassador to Ankara Francis Ricciardone questioned the AKP's commitment to press freedom after journalists were detained.
"We all want to improve democracy and freedoms in Turkey, but currently Turkey is moving towards a single party rule," CHP leader Kemal Kilicdaroglu told the Voice of America this week, citing the imprisonment of journalists and politicization of courts.
"We are dealing with more repressive and authoritarian methods with a prime minister who claims to know all and do all," he said.
"The AKP's Islamist-based politics is gradually leading Turkey away from Ataturk's legacy of secular democracy toward religious-based authoritarianism, which should be a major concern for the U.S. and Europe," Heritage Foundation scholars Sally McNamara and Ariel Cohen wrote on Wednesday.
"With the second-largest military in NATO, Turkey has been a significant actor in many NATO operations and continues to stand alongside the U.S. in Afghanistan," they noted. "However, Ankara's burgeoning closeness to Tehran and the AKP's hostility toward Israel undermine Turkey's reliability as a regional partner for the U.S. and Europe."
The Heritage experts said the administration should continue to cooperate with Turkey on issues such as Afghanistan and missile defense but also make clear its views on troubling domestic and foreign policies pursued by the AKP.
"After the elections, Washington should tell Ankara that Turkey cannot consider itself a strategic ally of the U.S. while pursuing policies that undermine American and allied interests," they said.
Popular at home and in Arab states
While Erdogan's foreign policies worry some in the West, they do not seem to be harming his popularity at home – or in nearby Arab countries.
In a survey by the Pew Research Center's Global Attitudes Project, released this week, 62 percent of Turkish respondents said they were confident the prime minister would "do the right thing in world affairs," with his ratings especially high among more religious Muslims (defined as those who pray five times a day).
Large majorities in Egypt (78 percent), Jordan (72 percent) and Lebanon (64 percent) also gave Erdogan high marks, in sharp contrast to the low confidence levels the poll found in some European countries (Germany 25 percent; Poland 17 percent; Spain 12 percent) and Israel (nine percent).
Meanwhile Michigan State University international relations professor Mohammed Ayoob argues that concerns about an AKP shift away from democracy in Turkey are overblown.
Writing on the Foreign Policy Web site, he said Turkey was still undergoing a process of "democratic consolidation, which is hardly ever a unilinear and smooth process."
"Alternation in power is vital for democratic governance once the process of democratic consolidation has been completed and the threat from extra-constitutional centers of power [i.e., the military] has been eliminated," Ayoob said. "Turkey is a few years away from achieving this goal. In the meantime, the AKP is the best bet for the success of democracy in Turkey."

To the editor:
I would like to thank everyone who came out to the sing at Old Shallotte Baptist Church on March 14 in my honor.
It was truly an amazing event and an honor to see so many friends and family supporting me in this fight against ALS (Lou Gehrig's disease).
For those that could not attend, I would also like to thank you for your support, prayers, visits, cards and words of encouragement.

I just wanted to say happy National Telecommunicators Week to all my coworkers at Brunswick County 911 Center.
April 11-18 this year has been designated as Telecommunicators Week as it is every year. Thank you doesn't seem like enough when you think about all the sacrifices telecommunicators make.
To the editor:
Brunswick County is playing a shell game with its proposed tax increase.
First, they propose charging for trash pick up to the tune of $147 per household. This charge is really a tax.
Then they say they are dropping the tax rate by one cent. The two together amount to a rise in those whose home is valued at less than $600,000.
On the other end of the scale, people with more expensive properties would see a tax decrease.
Veterans Affairs officials have really missed the boat on a grand opportunity right here in Brunswick County, and unfortunately it appears it is going to come at the expense of taxpayers.
The Brunswick County Board of Commissioners has practically thrown the current Brunswick Community Hospital location at VA officials. County officials have offered to make VA officials a deal they couldn't refuse for a new VA facility.
To the editors:
The opinions of the majority of Sunset Beach residents must be voiced to understand their concern and frustration over the demolition of the Sunset Beach swing bridge.
Residents feel the swing bridge is a historic monument, being the last swing bridge on the Intracoastal Waterway; therefore, it should be preserved for future generations.
The Sunset Beach swing bridge is the icon of this entire town; it encompasses the town's quaint, meaningful history and so should be kept largely intact.
Spring has sprung in Brunswick County.
How do I know?
Colors are bursting in our landscape. Reds, purples, pinks and whites are combining with varying shades of green.
The brown ravages of winter are gone.
Birds are singing. The sky is bright blue. Temperatures are warm and everything—everything—is coated a nice shade of yellow-green.
It was a light dusting at first, but soon my once-white vehicle was coated so thoroughly, I thought for a moment I was getting into the wrong car.
After being introduced to the group of volunteers at the Wings of Love Prom Closet on Saturday, a friendly lady with a warm smile quickly approached me.
"You need a name tag," she said, quickly giving me a blank tag and a marker.
"And you need one of these."
She handed me a card with a gold guardian angel pin stuck on it. I filled out my name tag, stuck it on and pinned the angel to my shirt. It wasn't until later that I realized none of it would have been possible without the help of a few angels among us.

Australian businesses are the main victims of higher funding costs, not home owners, the big banks' lending margins suggest.
After all four banks reported earnings, a comparison of net interest margins on loans shows that business-focused banks have been better at passing on higher funding costs.
Retail-focused banks
"The margins across Australian retail bank portfolios have reduced during the year because of the higher funding costs, but you haven't seen the repricing that has come through in the institutional and corporate books," KPMG partner Michelle Hinchliffe said.
Australia's largest banks have justified raising variable mortgage rates in excess of Reserve Bank or Australia rate rises by arguing it is costing them more to raise capital from overseas, which they then use to make loans in Australia.
Bankers have said that cheaper debt raised before the crisis has to be replaced with more expensive debt, driving up their funding costs.
The RBA said in the minutes of its October board meeting that bank funding costs had stabilised.
But Westpac chief executive
Westpac, which reported annual results yesterday, said that while it had switched to more stable forms of funding such as longer-term bonds and deposits, its overall funding costs had risen.
"This has really been a big year raising, as we did, $43 billion in wholesale market," Mrs Kelly said yesterday.
The fund raisings included longer-term bond issues to increase the stability of the bank's debt.
Australian banks' heavy use of international debt markets is expected to decline in 2011.
Westpac chief financial officer
CBA, which, along with Westpac, has raised over $40 billion in the debt markets, is expected to raise less funds in the bond markets.
"We don't expect to need to raise as much with regard to wholesale funding next year," Mrs Kelly said. "It's partly because we think the credit growth will remain relatively modest." Mrs Kelly said that the bank's increased ability to raise retail deposits would lessen its need to raise debt in the wholesale bond markets.
"Part of the shift we are going through in the industry is shifting our bankers from thinking about lending to thinking about relationships, and making sure they are engaging customers on the deposit and transactional side of the balance sheet," she said.
While banks are courting deposits as a preferred form of funding, the competitive environment has added to the funding pressures on banks.
Westpac said that funding cost pressures cut 26 basis points from its profit margins, of which 15 basis points arose due to higher deposit costs and 11 basis points were due to higher overseas funding costs.
The bank had recovered 22 basis points through "asset repricing" or higher charges on its loans.

A small group of carefully selected inmates at Hiland Mountain Correctional Center
have volunteered to obedience train abandoned dogs from the Mat-Su Animal Care Center
as part of a pilot program.
Under an agreement between the state's correctional center for women and the Mat-Su animal
shelter, the SPOT Program uses inmate volunteers to better prepare shelter dogs for adoption.
A professional Kennel Owner and Rottweiler breeder, Cheri Hagen, donates her services to teach
the inmate handlers how to train the dogs.
Dogs remain with inmate trainers for 6-10 weeks. "Each dog receives obedience training from a
team of two inmates. In order to volunteer for the program, inmates must have no disciplinary
write-ups, must have or be actively working for a GED, and must have six or more months left
in their sentence, and they cannot have a history of child abuse," said Superintendent Dean
The animal care center pre-screens the dogs for suitability and good health, and makes sure
the dogs are current on all required vaccinations. In addition, the center provides kennels,
food, leashes and feeding bowls.
For more information, please visit the Mat-SU Animal Shelter website at:

Stewart, A.R., Luoma, S.N., Schlekat, C.E., Doblin, M.A., and Hieb, K.A., 2004, Food web pathway determines how selenium affects aquatic ecosystems: A San Francisco Bay case study: Environmental Science and Technology, v. 38, no. 17, p. 4,519-4,526.
Chemical contaminants disrupt ecosystems, but specific effects may be under-appreciated when poorly known processes such as uptake mechanisms, uptake via diet, food preferences, and food web dynamics are influential. Here we show that a combination of food web structure and the physiology of trace element accumulation explain why some species in San Francisco Bay are threatened by a relatively low level of selenium contamination and some are not. Bivalves and crustacean zooplankton form the base of two dominant food webs in estuaries. The dominant bivalve Potamocorbula amurensis has a 10-fold slower rate constant of loss for selenium than do common crustaceans such as copepods and the mysid Neomysis mercedis (rate constant of loss, ke = 0.025, 0.155, and 0.25 d-1, respectively). The result is much higher selenium concentrations in the bivalve than in the crustaceans. Stable isotope analyses show that this difference is propagated up the respective food webs in San Francisco Bay. Several predators of bivalves have tissue concentrations of selenium that exceed thresholds thought to be associated with teratogenesis or reproductive failure (liver Se >15 mg g-1 dry weight). Deformities typical of selenium-induced teratogenesis were observed in one of these species. Concentrations of selenium in tissues of predators of zooplankton are less than the thresholds. Basic physiological and ecological processes can drive wide differences in exposure and effects among species, but such processes are rarely considered in traditional evaluations of contaminant impacts.

By finishing second in Group A, England have been drawn against South Africa, winners of Group D, in the quarter-finals of the Under-19 World Cup in Townsville. It is a clash between professional and well-drilled outfits that contains what could potentially be of the contests of the match England's new-ball assault against South Africa's openers.
South Africa U19 team other hand also better position so they have a big chance to take all points in this match against England U19s team.SA Under-19 team performance brilliant in specially last 2 games.England have played South Africa before, in a seven-match home series they lost 2-4 in July last year. Only eight of those South Africans, however, are part of the World Cup squad so half of their outfit is not familiar to Adam Ball's team. Someone they do know well is the opening batsman Quinton de Kock, who top scored with 341 runs in that series.
"We felt if they could get him out early and expose that middle order as early as they could, they were right in there," said Ball, England's captain.

Some Californians Can Keep Their Doctors Under Obamacare Afterall
There's good news for those seeking serious medical treatment who are afraid of losing their doctor because of new guidelines under the Affordable Care Act.
Governor Jerry Brown has signed into law the Continuity of Care bill.
"It helps people who might have lost their insurance at the end of the year because of the patient protections in the Affordable Care Act, if they're plans didn't meet those protections," Assemblyman Dr. Richard Pan said.
Pan authored the bill and says this gives those patients the choice to keep their current doctor and treatment even if they were signed under a new health care plan.
"We want to be sure that people can complete the treatment they've already started, even if they had to switch plans because of the health care act," he said.
The bill goes into effect immediately.

Advantech Rolls Out Ultra-High-End Network Appliance With 100GbE Ports
(Marketwire Via Acquire Media NewsEdge) TAIPEI, TAIWAN -- (Marketwired) -- 09/03/14 -- In a pre-IDF briefing today, Advantech (TWSE: 2395) announced the FWA-6512C network application platform with FlowNIC technology for 100G flow processing. The platform is a highly integrated appliance designed to boost performance where I/O density and processing power need to be maximized especially for network security, deep packet inspection and traffic/policy management in non-virtualized and virtualized environments such as SDN and NFV. Designed for handling the increased data rates in next generation networking infrastructure it supports connectivity of up to four 100GE ports in a compact 2U footprint. While offering performance levels that previously required more complex and costly architectures, Advantech's FlowNIC technology integrates seamlessly with standard software frameworks such as Linux, Open vSwitch (OVS) and Intel® Data Plane Development Kit (DPDK).
To meet next generation networking needs at multiple 100G speeds, Advantech defined the platform from the ground up. The FWA-6512 series is architected around four Intel® Xeon® Processor E5-4600 v2 CPUs with support for SKUs up to 12 cores (48 cores total) and 1TB of system DRAM. The system incorporates a FlowNIC based on Netronome's NFP-6240 silicon that acts as an intelligent load balancer between the external networking ports and the integrated Intel® Xeon® processors. Unlike conventional network appliances that use the QPI interfaces of the processors to route traffic between cores and virtual cores on different sockets, the FlowNIC inside the FWA-6512C is connected to the four Intel® Xeon® processors using four distinct PCIe x8 Gen3 connections, which enables network traffic to be delivered to the destination cores with optimized throughput and minimum latency.
"With the introduction of our FlowNIC technology we allow customers to obtain maximum packet processing and application performance from the latest Intel® Xeon® processors," said Peter Marek, senior director x86 solutions, Advantech Networks and Communications Group. "The intelligent load balancing built into the FlowNIC supports millions of flows via significantly larger and more sophisticated rule tables compared to simple Ethernet switch silicon. This provides the basis for connecting to 100GbE network pipes and efficiently delivering a large number of flows to up to 48 Intel® Xeon® cores for application processing," continued Marek. "The most important thing about FlowNIC, however, is how easily it integrates into standard software frameworks. Customers can migrate seamlessly between lower-end platforms with regular NICs and our ultra-high-end platforms with FlowNIC -- without re-writing application code or writing special purpose processor code." From a system software perspective the FlowNIC is seen as a set of four physical and up to 256 virtual NICs with standard Linux or Intel® DPDK drivers. While the data plane is handled via these NIC interfaces, the control plane interface is implemented via an Open vSwitch plugin allowing for open, standards-based load balancing via OpenFlow style rule tables. Applications requiring packet classification, traffic filtering and/or forwarding can offload the low-level packet handling to the FlowNIC alike, using the same API to free up valuable processor cycles for running applications. As the FWA-6512C with up to 1TB system RAM is predestined for virtualized environments such as SDN and NFV, intelligent Open vSwitch offload has been built into the FlowNIC to boost VM-to-VM communication.
"The goal of Network Functions Virtualization (NFV) is to move networking tasks out of vertically integrated, proprietary platforms to open, software-controlled architectures such as the FWA-6512C which can host various applications and services within virtual machines (VMs) that are provisioned dynamically through either local or remote management and orchestration software," said Paul Stevens, marketing director, Advantech Networks and Communications Group. "To scale these virtualized networking functions to 40G and 100G rates, CPUs with high core capacities and VMs with efficient and intelligent load distribution are required." The FWA-6512C supports a modular I/O subsystem based on four PHY Mezzanine Modules (PMMs), each with up to 100Gbps I/O connectivity on first generation designs. Initial PMM offerings include modules supporting a single 100GbE port for LR-4, SR-10 and Intel® Silicon Photonics transceivers, dual 40GbE ports, eight 10GbE ports. PMMs with eight 1GbE ports, as well as quad 1GbE and quad 10GbE ports with advanced LAN bypass are available as well.
"Netronome is proud to provide Network Flow Processing technology for Advantech's FlowNICs," said Jarrod Siket, Senior VP and GM at Netronome. "Networks are changing, and a new paradigm is needed to keep pace with processing demands at 40 and 100Gbps. We designed our NFP-6240 chip for exactly the kind of load balancing and offloading implemented by the Advantech FlowNICs. We are excited to see these efficiencies implemented in such a high-performance networking appliance as Advantech's FWA-6512C." Netronome's NFP-6240 device and FlowNIC software are tightly integrated with the FWA-6512C to accelerate virtualized networking functions. As the network front-end the NFP-6240 accelerates VNFs by providing intelligent offloads including load balancing, packet and flow classification, flow pinning to VMs, and advanced pre-processing for applications and services. The large number of on-chip programmable resources for packet and flow handling combined with industry leading network I/O and PCIe Gen3 connectivity on the NFP-6240, incorporated with firmware, drivers and software for consistency with standard frameworks allow for the optimum split of workloads across the x86 and NFP devices.
Advantech will be showcasing the new products at the Intel® Developers Forum, September 9-11 in San Francisco, CA, USA.

|Part Number:
|Smith's Sharpening Products
|Our Price:
|Calculate Shipping
SMI50363: 50363 - 4" Diamond Sharpening Stone
Stone Grit: 750
Stone Surface: Monocrystalline Diamonds
Stone Length (inches): 4
Stone Width (inches): 1
Smith's® 4" Diamond Sharpening Stone (item # 50363) features Smith's patented interrupted diamond surface which speeds the sharpening process by collecting and holding the metal filings removed from the knife or tool edge during sharpening. This keeps the sharpening surface clean and working effectively. The 4" Diamond Sharpening Stone also comes with a Micro-Tool Sharpening Pad™ for sharpening the tips of your knife blade and small tools, a straight-line sharpening groove for fishhooks and pointed objects, and a stone cover that doubles as a base when not covering the stone. It is excellent for sharpening even the hardest steel blades and works best on small to medium hunting knives, tactical knives, and everyday pocket knives.
Sharpening Instructions:
1. Cover surface of the stone with a sharpening lubricant, water or honing oil, if preferred. Place your blade flat on the end of your stone. Raise the back of your knife to an approximate 20-degree angle. (Fig. 1)
2. PUSH the blade AWAY from you, just like you are trying to carve a thin slice off the top of the stone. Don't be afraid to use pressure against the stone while sharpening since it will not damage the stone or your knife. Repeat this PUSHING stroke three or four times. Remember, try to keep the same approximate sharpening angle all the time since this is the key to obtaining the sharpest edge. (Fig. 2)
WARNING: Keep fingers and hands away from knife blade during sharpening or injury may occur.
3. To sharpen the other side of your knife place your blade at the opposite end of your stone and repeat steps 1 and 2 , but instead of pushing the knife away from you pull it towards you as shown. (Fig. 3) Continue sharpening both sides of your blade equally until sharp.
4. To sharpen FISH HOOKS, lay point of fish hook flat in the groove and move the hook back and forth in a filing motion. (Fig. 4)
Protective Cover: can be removed and inserted into the base to extend the stone base (Fig. 5). This allows for a more secure grip on the stone base and keeps your fingers away from the knife blade during sharpening.

Electronic filing speeds refunds
By Jackie Hosey
As the April 15 tax deadline approaches, thousands of Kansas residents will head to their computers instead of their mailboxes.
Electronic income tax filing is at an all-time high according to the Internal Revenue Service and the Kansas Department of Revenue.
Scott Holeman, public information officer at the state revenue department, expects more than 400,000 Kansas residents to file taxes over the Internet this year.
The number of electronic filings has increased steadily during the past few years, Holeman said. Last year, 1.5 million returns were filed in Kansas, and about 350,000 came in electronically, he said.
The Internal Revenue Service also has seen the number of electronic filings increase steadily during the past few years. Last year, more than 25 million people filed electronically, an increase of 16 percent from 1999.
According to a report from the IRS, electronic filing is faster and more accurate than filing by mail. The report said electronic returns are "virtually error proof," with an error rate of less than 1 percent. Paper returns historically have had an error rate that ranges between 20 percent and 21 percent.
According to John O'Berg of Jim O'Berg CPA in Eudora, the real appeal of electronic filing is expediency.
"If you want a refund back right away, then it's the way to go," he said.
O'Berg said his office files electronic returns for its clients every Thursday at 9 a.m.
"Then, if they use direct deposit, the refund is deposited in their bank account the Friday of the following week," he said.
O'Berg said he's not sure he agrees with the IRS contention that filing electronically is easier than filing on paper.
"It's really not easier for us," he said. "Actually it makes it a little harder because you have an additional step, downloading the files. Then you have to enter all of the information on the client's bank account."
Taxpayers who owe money also can file electronically, but they must send payments by April 16 or include a bank routing number on their return so funds can be withdrawn from their bank account.
Because April 15 falls on a Sunday this year, the filing deadline has been extended one day.

Miami-Dade Judge Overturns State's Ban On Gay Marriage
A Miami-Dade judge is overturning the state's ban on same-sex marriage.
She stayed her order pending appeal.
The move comes a day after more than seven thousand people signed a petition supporting same-sex marriage that's being delivered to Florida Attorney General Pam Bondi.
Bondi's appeal triggered an automatic stay that put Monroe County judge Luis Garcia's order to issue marriage licenses to gay couples in the Keys on hold.
A Miami appellate court upheld the stay Wednesday.
That same appellate court will hear the case sometime in the future...its ruling would apply to the entire state.

Hall of Fame receiver John Stallworth earlier this year became a minority owner of the team with which he spent his entire career — the Pittsburgh Steelers.
His teammate, Hall of Fame receiver Lynn Swann, could soon be a partial owner of a new franchise in the Arena Football League.
Internal documents obtained by PFT reveal that Swann and former U.S. Senator Rick Santorum are two potential investors/owners of an indoor team that would debut next year in Pittsburgh.
The lead owner would be Matt Shaner, the president of Shaner Investments of State College, Pennsylvania. Shaner, who like Swann and Santorum has run for political office in Pennsylvania as a Republican, would own 20 to 40 percent of the franchise.
The discussions have been characterized to other AFL owners as being in the "advanced stages." The expansion fee would be $10 million, with half of the money paid in 2010 and the other half paid in 2011.
The addition of a Pittsburgh franchise would be a key part of the relaunch/recapitalization of the defunct (for 2009) pro football operation. If the current plan passes, the AFL would shift to a centralized business model, with the league being run as a single company and team owners acquiring a percentage of the equity.
Expansion in Pittsburgh is part of a broader goal to grow the league to 24 total teams over a five year period, with two teams joining in 2011, two in 2012, two in 2013, and two in 2014.
For 2010, another $10 million in capital ideally would come from the same of 20 investment units of $500,000 each.
Under the currently-proposed plan, the AFL still expects to operate in the red through 2012, with a $2 million profit being generated in 2013 and a $6 million profit projected for 2014.
Lynn Swann A Potential Co-Owner Of Pittsburgh Arena League Franchise

No way arena football will do well in Pittsburgh. The love and obsession of the Steelers won't allow it. It's like watching Michael Jordan's son playing basketball. Why care when you can watch highlights of MJ on youtube. Steeler/pittsburgh football fans just won't care. Ask the Pirates.
dashoe says: May 26, 2009 3:26 PM
Geez. It's time to put an end to the ADD football league. Maybe they should put their money, time, and influence into a league where real football is played like a farm league for the NFL.
Arena league football is for the X-Gamers crowd and they aren't into any sport that doesn't involve wheels or blades.
Pea Tear Griffin says: May 26, 2009 3:44 PM
Sweet. I just went to an AF2 game this weekend. It's actually a lot of fun and you don't have to mortgage you're house to go.
zertrat says: May 26, 2009 6:54 PM
Hey, not too bad for Swannie. If you can't be governor or senator or king, or hero for life, then you can be a fraction of ownership in something local. I'm not being facetious. Glad he found where his ideals can really make a difference. Oops, i forgot. He's trying to make money.

DonD says: May 27, 2009 2:24 PM
Arena Football is incredible football. It's not right to insult that version. The difference in the game from the outdoor version doesn't diminsh the game of football. I like Arena football more than the outdoor game. I am far past a Gen-Xer or whatever, and I hardly ever missed an AFL game. I hope the league returns and I wish my NFL brothers (and sisters) would give the Arena game the respect that it and the players deserve. The NFL should actually buy into and run the AFL game. The connection would be perfect. It's already there anyway.
Fez says: May 27, 2009 5:53 PM
Finally. After 20 years, the Pittsburgh Gladiators are back! I just hope Swann does a better job with his team than he did with his race for Governor.

I've always had very large breasts since about age thirteen. Often others would recommend a breast reduction but I couldn't imagine taking such drastic action and felt I should learn to accept my body.
Time went on and I married the man I love, had three children (ages 14, 10 & 5) and fluctuated up and down between 140 - 190 pounds with each pregnancy. The end result was deflated, large pendulous (I've always hated this adjective!) breasts.
After losing all my baby weight over the last four years and staying between 130 - 135 pounds, I finally realized it might be a good time to give this gift to myself. I've always had neck and back pain, exercising is tremendously difficult and my posture is horrible.
I used my insurance to book a local surgeon and went to the appointment. It was a confusing and terrible experience. The doctor said he'd give me a lollipop incision but was rushed and didn't take the time to answer the questions I had. From my reading I didn't think I was a good candidate for that. I felt defeated and gave up.
A few weeks later I was searching breast reductions on the internet (always hopeful!) and came across Real Self. I posted my question about whether or not a lollipop reduction would work for me and received over ten answers by surgeons. They all agreed with me. I looked each doctor that was within a two hour radius up and then called my insurance and checked if any were in network.
Dr. G of PA was and I dared to call the office. I made my appointment and waited three weeks. I went yesterday and all I can say is WOW! Everyone at this office was amazing, from the nurse to the receptionist to Dr. G. He took so much time with me, answered questions and I felt as if I could trust him.
I asked about a tummy tuck during the visit as well. Now I am pondering whether or not I can fit that in as recovery is so much longer and I'm not sure I can manage it.
So I am waiting again to see if insurance will approve the breast reduction. I am excited, hopeful and anxious. I plan on updating as my story continues. It is amazing to me the difference your doctor and their staff makes.
I'm not really sure at this point what will happen but I feel confident I'm ready to begin this journey to a more comfortable, healthy self.
Thank you to Real Self and all the doctors who take the time to answer questions. You are life changers!

Suppressed working memory on the WMS-III as a marker for poor effort
Lange, Rael T., Iverson, Grant L., Sullivan, Karen A., & Anderson, Deborah S. (2006) Suppressed working memory on the WMS-III as a marker for poor effort. Journal of Clinical and Experimental Neuropsychology, 28(3), pp. 294-305.
|PDF (114kB)
The purpose of this study was to examine the clinical utility of memory minus Working Memory Index (memory-WMI) discrepancy scores on the WMS-III for detecting poor effort in 145 personal injury litigants (19 poor effort, 126 adequate effort). On average, participants in the poor effort group performed significantly lower on all WMS-III memory indexes and demonstrated larger memory-WMI discrepancy scores compared to participants in the adequate effort group. Discriminant function analyses using memory-WMI discrepancy scores as independent variables revealed poor overall classification rates (60.0% to 63.4%). Based on the prevalence of unusually suppressed attention-concentration ability relative to memory functioning using unidirectional memory-WMI discrepancy scores, high specificity and negative predictive power values were found. However, there was unacceptably low sensitivity and positive predictive power. These results suggest that memory-WMI discrepancy scores on the WMS-III do not provide clinically useful information regarding response set and should be used cautiously as an indicator of poor effort.

Love Lost?!!
After dating for two years, Michael Strahan, 42, and Nicole Murphy, 36, have called off their engagement. The news came suddenly the same weekend Strahan had been entered into the NFL Pro Football Hall of Fame.
Strahan's anchor team confirmed the split.
"They love each other very much, but with the distance and work schedule it has been hard to maintain the relationship," said his publicist in a statement.

I discovered this immune system booster at EarthClinic.com.
This concoction tastes really good, and you can almost feel your body coming alive as you drink it. Here are just a few of the many reasons why.
Tomatoes are rich in antioxidants, especially lycopene and vitamin C. Antioxidants help prevent cellular damage, which in turn slows the aging process and fights disease.
Garlic is a powerful natural antibiotic that works on a broad spectrum of bacteria. Garlic is also an amazing antiviral and antifungal.
Unlike pharmaceutical antibiotics, garlic doesn't destroy the good bacteria we need.
Lemon juice is an amazing cleansing agent, especially for the liver and kidneys. Lemon juice also dissolves mucus, and it is an immune system booster with a healthy dose of vitamin C and quercetin.
The master cleanse and lemon water both rely on lemons to stimulate natural cleansing and healing.
Capsaicin gives chili peppers their spicy heat and is another natural antibiotic and antifungal. It is also a pain reliever that can help with a nasty sore throat and body aches.
Use any hot sauce or even ground cayenne pepper to enjoy the healing properties of capsaicin. Like lemon juice, capsaicin is especially good at dissolving mucus.
Boost Your Immune System Anytime!
You can drink as much tomato tea as you like, the more the better! Use it as an immune system booster when others around you are ill, and you may not get sick at all.
This tomato tea recipe is not a rapid-relief drug that hides symptoms in a harmful way. Instead it is a nourishing remedy that works with your body to encourage faster healing.
Real healing may not always be quick, but the result is a stronger body next time instead of a weaker one. You may not get sick at all.

The 17th annual Great Backyard Bird Count takes place from February 14 to 17, giving citizen scientists a chance to help researchers learn how birds are affected by environmental changes. So get the family together, and participate:
1. Pick a spot — any spot — where there are birds. Your yard, a playground, a schoolyard, Prospect Park, etc.
2. Register to enter data.
3. Count every bird you see for at least 15 minutes on one or more days of the GBBC and enter results on the GBBC website.
Last year, more than 34.5 million birds and 4,351 species were recorded in the GBBC — which is more than one-third of the world's total bird species, documented in just four days!
A good example of how this long-term recording can be valuable is some info they've gathered about the effect of West Nile virus on birds. After the West Nile virus was first documented in New York in 1999, GBBC reports of American Crows declined, ranking fourth or fifth in the top 10 most frequently reported bird in the GBBC in 2002, and dropping to ninth or tenth from 2003 to 2010. But in the past three counts, they've seen an improvement in this ranking: seventh in 2011, and back up to fifth in 2012, sixth in 2013, possibly signaling some recovery for the species.
The GBBC is a joint project of the Cornell Lab of Ornithology and the National Audubon Society with partner Bird Studies Canada. You can learn more about the project here.

Joe Biden has been making much of having spent the first ten years of his life in Scranton, Pennsylvania to the extent that his first video ad is based on that city. So when Biden and Barack Obama made their first campaign appearance after the Democrat convention in Beaver, Pennsylvania, the subject of Scranton came up in Biden's speech. The problem is that he did some fibbing about Scranton. Biden claimed that he was 12 years younger than former PA governor, Bob Casey, and 12 years older than "Bobby" Casey, the son and current senator from that state. Actually Biden is only 10 years younger than the elder Casey, a minor error, but eighteen years older than "Bobby" Casey, not so minor. Even more important, Biden mentioned that he lived only a few blocks away from the Caseys. Since the Biden family moved to Delaware when Joe was 10 that would have been in 1952 or 1953, several years before "Bobby" was born in 1960. Here is the transcript of what Biden said but to get the full effect of Biden's "eccentric" speech pattern which makes one wonder what is in the drinking water of Beaver, watch the video:
Hello folks! My name is Joe Biden. I'm from Scranton, Pennsylvania. I'm a senator because the first guys to endorse me in 1972 were the United Steelworkers of American. The only reason I'm a senator. This is my wife Jill, or actually I'm her husband. And I'll introduce the next two people in their order of their importance. The first and most important person...Michelle Obama. Did you hear her speech at the convention? I tell you, man. I always liked Barack but I love her. And a guy you're not...you don't know much about. He doesn't draw very big crowds or anything like that. A guy from Illinois named Barack Obama.
Hey folks! They tell me this is the deal. You have to hear from me for just a few minutes. But uh, I want you to understand why. There's only one reason. I moved from Pennsylvania. My wife by the way, is from Willow Grove, Pennsylvania. I want you to know the reason I left and went to Delaware. It was real simple. I lived in a place called Greenridge in Scranton, Pennsylvania, north of Washington Avenue. And seven blocks away there was a family called the Caseys. And there was a guy named Bob Casey and then there was Bobby Casey. Bob Casey was 12 years older than me and Bobby Casey was 12 years younger than me. And I knew somebody famous was going to come out of Scranton but I sure as hell knew it wasn't going to be me. So I left.
Where's Bob Casey? Hey Bobby! How ya doin' buddy! He's the real deal!
So can anybody out there tell your humble correspondent just exactly what is in that Beaver drinking water?

The theater world lost one of its brightest lights on Christmas Eve with the death of playwright Harold Pinter. The 78-year-old British Nobel Prize winner, whose best-known plays included "The Homecoming" and "The Birthday Party," succumbed to throat cancer on Wednesday.
Los Angeles Times:
In recent years Pinter had dedicated himself to political activism, frequently turning his attention to the U.S. On the eve of the Iraq War, he called the George W. Bush administration a "monster out of control." After the war began, Pinter said U.S. policies were "beyond reason" and compared them to those of Nazi Germany. His attacks alienated some who thought that great playwrights needn't be politically outspoken.

Secular group loses bid to perform marriages
A secular Indianapolis group has lost its bid to perform marriage ceremonies.
The Center for Inquiry had filed a lawsuit seeking to have its members legally authorized to perform marriages and sign marriage certificates.
Current law allows public officials and anyone ordained as clergy to perform marriages. Center for Inquiry Executive Director Reba Boyd Wooden told The Indianapolis Star her group wanted a clear statement that persons officiating at marriages didn't need to be clergy or government bureaucrats.
Judge Sarah Evans Barker ruled that granting clergy the right to perform marriages is the kind of accommodation of religion the First Amendment protects. She says it isn't a denial of rights to the nonreligious.
American Civil Liberties Union Indiana attorney Ken Falk tells WIBC he's disappointed by the ruling.

Nancy Pearl's Rule of 50
50-Something Library Thingers
Join LibraryThing to post.
This topic is currently marked as "dormant"—the last message is more than 90 days old. You can revive it by posting a reply.
I have too many books to read and not enough time to read them. So I hate to waste time reading a book twice or reading a bad book. I don't.
But at what point do I decide my book is bad and stop wasting my time on it?
Nancy Pearl has a "Rule of 50." I just read about it and have decided to use it. It goes like this.
When you get to the bottom of page 50, if the book is still boring or you otherwise don't like it, stop wasting your time.
I especially like her Rule of 50 for 50-plussers because I'm 54, and the older I get, the less time I have: when you're over 50, subtract your age from 100. That number is the number of pages that should be your limit. And when you reach 100, you are authorized to judge a book by its cover.
See Nancy's article at http://www.theglobeandmail.com/news/arts/books/nancy-pearls-rule-of-50-for-dropp...
My first thought was "No way, I'm a quick reader and I've always* read everything I've started and then made a decision as to its worth."
Then I remembered just the other day when I was reading the second volume of the Elder Gods series, The Treasured One, and I realised that it was crap! So was the first volume, The Elder Gods. They were just the Belgariad, re-written. As was The Malloreon series and The Tamuli series. Why was I wasting time reading the same damn thing over and over, albeit in different covers and with different titles?
So I'm not going to, not any more. Any new book is going to get a bookmark inserted around about page 48 (I'm 52) and when the bookmark is reached, a decision will be made. Firmly.
Thank you for helping me make this decision. Life is too short for bad coffee, bad wine, bad chocolate or bad writing.
*Except for The Eighty Minute Hour. Started it three, four, maybe five times. Can not read it!
I feel better knowing there's a rule of 50. I always felt guilty (unless the book is really, really bad) not finishing a book. Now I can free my OCD self!
One of the things I really like about LT is that it's so much easier to find the next good read.
Interesting...I usually wait till the almost the middle of the book, if it is not doing anything for me I go to the end and read a few pages for a last chance.
I think I probably came across the 50 rule when I was about 50, but didn't know about the subtracting your age from 100. So now I only need to read to page 42! I don't end up abandoning many books, but find this 'rule' a useful 'get out' if a book just isn't working for me.
I love Nancy Pearl's rule of 50. I'm just starting down the slope..... a book gets 49 pages to engage me. I still have the compulsion to complete most books I start, but it has been helpful to feel more empowered to protect my precious - and limited - reading time. I guess it's a shame someone like Nancy had to come along and do said empowering.
I think that's a great rule.......I will have to be strong.....I feel compelled to finish any book I begin!
I guess I must be older than I look, because if a book isn't doing it for me by 15 or twenty pages in, I jettison it. On the other hand, I WILL read bad books if the plot hooks me, even though I groan at the stupidity of the characters or the terrible writing.
I recently invoked the 50 rule. I began reading a series of Roman mysteries with high hopes but the style of writing was off-putting. The author wrote well, but in a style I didn't enjoy. I regretted taking her books back to the library but then the book I picked up next was well worth it.
I like this rule of 50 also. But I, too, have a compulsion to finish what I started. However, I recently stopped reading THE WITCH OF HEBRON at page 50. Talk about depressing! I hated that book.
I've been known to abandon a book after 2 paragraphs, Ahab's Wife, and another after 900 pages, The Far Pavilions.
2008 was the year I decided to commit to finishing every book I started that year. That lasted until March. I found myself unhappy reading - and reading is supposed to be joyous, entertaining, educational, and fun. So I stopped that quickly. If a book doesn't appeal to me, I put it back on my shelf. It may interest me another day, week, month, year. Or, if it angers me enough, I get rid of it. Thrift Store, Library Sale, Bookmooch.
No rules. They give me the heebie jeebies.
Hey Techeditor! Good to hear from you!
I heard of Ms. Pearl's Rule of 50 a few years back and immediately decided it made sense. I will be 54 in 2 weeks! Time is short and life is full of distractions.
WordMaven, sorry I haven't read this until now. Are you employed?

Coming soon: "The Mountaintop"
The life and death of Martin Luther King Jr. has provided fodder for books, television, plays and movies, and the fascination with this icon never seems to wane.
The Milwaukee Rep joins the list Sept. 26 when the theater mounts a production of "The Mountaintop," an appealing and offbeat play about the civil rights hero.
The play takes place on the eve of King's assassination in Memphis. He's in a hotel room after delivering a huge speech when a feisty, young hotel maid pushes King into a discussion that confronts some of his doubts and fears.
The play, written by Katori Hall, will be directed by Rep Artistic Associate May Adrales who directed "Yellowman" last year.
"'The Mountaintop' isn't a biography, per se, but rather a very smart, very funny, very moving and very respectful exploration of the ideas that were occupying Dr. King's mind on the night prior to his death," says Artistic Director Mark Clements. "The maid character is essential to this innately theatrical play, but impossible to describe without giving away a clever twist that the audience will absolutely lap up!"
A review of the New York production said:
"Playwright Katori Hall takes us into the room to reveal what it might have been like to be in the Memphis room in April 1968 on the night before the Rev. Martin Luther King Jr. was assassinated. In the room, we watch a civil rights icon flirt, curse, get rattled by lightning, smoke Pall Malls, sip booze, acknowledge his stinky feet and even have a pillow fight with a young woman."
The play runs from Sept. 26 to Nov. 4 and tickets are available at The Rep's ticket office at (414) 224-9490 or in person at 108 E. Wells St.

Market Segmentation: Conceptual and Methodological Foundations (International Series in Quantitative Marketing)
Modern marketing in industrialized countries cannot do without segmentation of the potential market. Goods can no longer be produced and sold without considering customer needs and recognizing the heterogeneity of those needs. Since the concept emerged in the late 1950s, segmentation has been one of the most researched topics in the marketing literature. It has become a central concept in marketing, both in theory and in practice. Recent technological developments, yielding a growing volume of information and a more detailed accounting of consumers' actual behavior, present new challenges and opportunities for market segmentation. Market Segmentation: Conceptual and Methodological Foundations provides an overview of the current state of the art in segmentation research. It aims to provide readers with both the conceptual basis as well as the tools necessary to conduct segmentation studies in a large number of markets, illustrated through a variety of applications.

When it comes to cell phone coverage in and around Missoula, Verizon has a chokehold, mostly because they have so many towers. That wasn't so uncomfortable when it seemed like the company was trying to do its part to cut emissions or rally around green issues.
Last Monday, however, Verizon Wireless co-sponsored a Labor Day "rally" at a mine in West Virginia called "Friends of America."
The rally included Fox's Sean Hannity and coal giant Massey Energy's CEO Don L. Blankenship as featured speakers. In a short video on his site, Blankenship said, "We're going to have ...a very good time, but we're also going to learn how environmental extremists and corporate America are both trying to destroy your job." The rally included a petition against the Waxman-Markey climate bill and anti-climate change literature.
Ted Nugent—who once did a pretty decent song called "Cat Scratch Fever," but who would now prefer to just talk about killing Obama and Clinton—was a featured musician. Hank Williams Jr.—who did an awkward, poorly rendered remake of his song "Family Tradition" as "McCain-Palin Tradition"— was also there for entertainment.
But what was "green" Verizon doing there? So far, Verizon Wireless has stood by their sponsorship by saying that just because they were there and gave money doesn't mean they support the cause. Uh, okay. And the company's CEO hasn't really redeemed himself publicly.
The Washington Post reports that the company is being criticized by "green groups" and "environmentalists," but from what I can tell, even individual customers are taking offense and dropping service. I know of at least two people personally in Missoula who broke contract, and I have heard several others considering it.
But what's a person with limited cell phone alternatives to do? Go back to land lines? Move? Forget about it? Make Verizon do community service?
"Can you hear me now?" has always been a pretty effective slogan for Verizon. The question now might be, if those who care about Verizon's claim to being "green" speak loud enough, will the company hear them?

A version of this post originally appears at Breathing Space.
Have you ever stopped to think that you have valuable property right on your hard drive? Whether self-employed, or independent of any the proprietary materials you have prepared for your accounting firm, undoubtedly, you have a variety of notes that you have taken over the years arranged in various categories. You have written untold paragraphs. You have outlines, notes, and perhaps transcripts.
On top of all these items, it is likely that you have boilerplate material for contracts and agreements. You might have carefully crafted letters that you've adapted based on the particular situation at hand, and other templates, rosters, and check lists that represent value, the likes of which you might not have recently, or ever, contemplated.
What about your personal database? If you have 1,000 or 10,000 names, these represent intellectual property of sorts –- marketing intelligence, in this case. Elsewhere on your hard drive, you might have proprietary photographs, as well as formulas or processes. You may have data, notes, or material on specific industries, trend data, quotes, or collections.
- Given the high probability that your hard drive examined in this new light contains a wealth of intellectual properties, how are you protecting your property?
- Do you have a well-developed and often-practiced back-up routine to save and store your valuable files?
- Do you have security measures in place so that unauthorized individuals are not privy to them?
- If you run your own firm, do you have a confidentiality policy and trade secret policy prepared, which mandates that any staff you might employee are required to sign a written notice acknowledging that they have read and understood such policies?
- Also, if you manage your own business, do you execute work-for-hire agreements so that it is clear to all participating parties that work you authorize and pay for shall become and remain solely your property?
The more valuable your intellectual property, be it on your hard drive, or any place in your office, the more important it is to safeguard your belongings.

Nursing homes provide a wide range of services including 24-hour nursing attention, on-call physicians, personal care, meals, laundry and recreation.
People enter nursing homes for two very different reasons. Some go to a nursing home for a short time to finish recovering after a hospital stay. Medicare and other health insurance will pay for this temporary nursing home care for rehabilitation.
Many people live in nursing homes because they have become frail, confused or ill and need ongoing personal and medical assistance. Many nursing home residents require this kind of long term (or custodial) care.
Long term care in a nursing home can cost an individual as much as $6,000 a month or more. Medicare and other health insurance may only pay for temporary care or rehabilitation. Medicare or most health insurance does not cover long term care on an on-going basis.
Some nursing home residents use their own personal resources, including long-term care insurance policies, to pay these costs. Others need to apply for assistance from the Rhode Island Long Term Care Medical Assistance Program, also known as Medicaid, either at the beginning of their stay or when their resources have been reduced. To qualify, individuals must meet certain financial, program and medical guidelines.
Special rules apply to couples. They provide for a spouse at home to keep assets and income to protect his or her standard of living.
For more information regarding LTC Medical Assistance guidelines or to apply for assistance contact your DHS Long Term Care Regional Office or call:
• DHS Info line at 462-5300 for the number of the LTC office in your community.
For information that can help you or a loved one choose a nursing home, or to express concerns about the care a loved one is receiving please call:
• The Alliance for Better Long Term Care at 785-3340.
• The RI Department of Health Division of Facilities Regulation at 222-2566.
