"You have a lot of patience," a parent told me after she watched a therapy session of her son and two boys.
It is true. I have a lot of patience with children. I have to possess the patient trait to be able to work with three boys younger than 5 years old who only care about one thing and that is to have fun. All they want to do is laugh and play. I remember those days of not having a stress in the world.
But how do you make them want to work on their speech goals?
I usually plan a set of three or four different activities to do in 30 minutes with each of my groups. Some days we get through all four activities, most days we get through two and one that was unplanned.
I worked with children as I completed my undergraduate studies at a licensed afterschool program, Extend-A-Care for Kids, in Austin and I learned a lot. The most important thing I learned that helps me out the most today is children love to make decisions.
That is why I always plan four different activities for them to choose from.
"Would you rather sing about the days and months or just review the calendar?"
"Do you want to sing along with the rapping dinosaur or sing the A is for apple song?"
"Do you want to read first or play a game?"
"Do you want to sit at the table or on the bean bags?"
By offering the children many opportunities to make various choices, they feel empowered and are more willing to participate. Plus, some students have speech goals to make a choice between two objects, so bam!
For the most part, I still have control over the group even if they made the decisions of what to do. I trained myself to be more flexible during the therapy sessions, so that the students can benefit from every session.
I may want the students to learn a certain way, but every student learns differently and I feel it is my responsibility to adapt to their learning style so they can ultimately learn.

Joe Dumars isn't sure who will start at point guard for the Detroit Pistons this season.
Brandon Jennings is assumed to have the inside track, but will compete with Chauncey Billups and Peyton Siva.
Billups said he was returning to the Pistons to be their starter at point guard.
"So did Will Bynum, so did Peyton Siva, so did Brandon Jennings. They all told me that when they signed," president of basketball operations Joe Dumars said with a laugh. "I was like, 'Yeah, you are. You right, bro. I said that to all of them. 'You right, bro.'"
Maurice Cheeks will ultimately make the decision.
"I don't know yet," Dumars said. "I can tell you what Mo has told every guy from Chauncey to Brandon to every guy. He said, 'Look, come in and earn it. I'm going to give it to whoever earns it.' He said that to every single guy.
"He said, 'Joe I'm not going to put myself in a trick box where I'm committing myself to something and it doesn't play out.' So, he's kept it wide open. He said, 'Let's see what happens.' That's exactly what he said. That's exactly how it's going to be."

No assets class with the emerging markets label, whether it is bonds, currencies or equities, has been immune from the carnage that has hit developing world financial markets this year. Currencies from Ankara to Jakarta to Mumbai have been among the world's worst performers, but one ETF shows some emerging currencies are starting to show signs of life.
Since the start of July, the WisdomTree Emerging Markets Currency Fund (NYSEArca: CEW) is 1%. That may not sound like much, but consider that the fund is down 4% this year. ETFs tracking the Brazilian real and the Indian rupee and down 4.5% and 7.2%, respectively, this year. Those countries combine for 12.8% of CEW's weight, so maybe a 1% gain since the beginning of this month is something to take note of. [Brazil ETFs Worst Q2 Global Performers]
Indonesia's rupiah touched a four-year low against the U.S. dollar in Wednesday's Asian and even interest rate increases by Indonesia's central bank have not saved the currency from being one of Asia's worst performers. Indonesia, Southeast Asia's largest economy, is 6.6% of CEW's weight. [Indonesian ETFs for These ETFs]
So just how is CEW perking up? Well, the Brazilian real has helped. The WisdomTree Brazilian Real ETF (NYSEArca: BZF) is up 2% this month. The Mexcian peso has been sturdy. In fact the peso is the only floating emerging-market currency that has gained against the dollar in 2013 to date, according to MarketWatch. Mexico accounts for almost 6.8% of CEW's weight.
The South Korean won, which has remained stubbornly strong against the Japanese yen, imperiling stocks in Asia's fourth-largest economy, rose to a five-week high against the dollar Wednesday. The won is still trading near its lowest levels in a year against the dollar, but the former's modest increase is helping CEW because the currency is the ETF's second-largest holding.
CEW's recent show of strength, albeit modest, could be just the beginning of more upside. Goldman Sachs believe the dollar is for some downside as other countries "have been too aggressive in anticipating tighter Federal Reserve monetary policy" and "traders have misinterpreted the U.S. Central Bank's recent signals," Bloomberg reported.

About this font family
The future is squarish. Georg Trump knew it in 1930 when he designed City. Hermann Zapf knew it in 1952 when he designed Melior. Aldo Novarese knew it in 1962 when he designed Eurostile. Center isn't about to argue. Based on a rounded rectangle, its geometry has been subtly refined for smoother reading. Angled branches pay homage to OCR-A. Terminals are gently softened. Early versions had a somewhat science-fictiony look, but over time Center evolved into a crisp and useful text/display family with just a hint of futurity. A combination of open counters, unequivocal curves, and ruler-straight vertical and horizontal strokes suit it admirably for onscreen display. Its seven weights range from the taut, elegant Thin to the massive Ultra, each with a matching italic. Tabular figures duplex across all weights, case-sensitive forms keep punctuation in line, and a variety of alternative glyphs let designers vary its mood at will. A full range of diacritics provides support for over 130 languages.

This is a very good set of photos. Alysha is very very beautiful. Super body, breasts, legs, derriere, and labia. She also has very beautiful face and blue eyes.
I suppose that if every woman in the world was this gorgeous, we would become bored. However, I would gladly condemn myself to such a fate.

Silly Sunday, Socials aren't just for kids!
J.D. Dokuchie (left) and Rene Diablo prove that Summer Social's aren't just for kids.
Hitting the halfway mark in the Sunday Summer Social calendar, last week's social saw kids and adults alike partaking in Sunday's event.
With the requisite bouncy castle securely in place, attendees of all ages enjoyed the provided hula-hoops, sidewalk chalk and large chess set on 2nd Avenue as part of the summer's fifth social.
Next week, larger crowds are expected to gather to gander at automobiles lined up for the scheduled Classic Show & Shine.

Sound — 8
"Vancouver" is the debut work of post-hardcore band La Dispute. It is an EP that was released back in 2006, and features some really interesting sounds. The EP opens up with some very enthusiastic drumming, which sets the path for the upcoming songs, and the band begins to power through the first song, "Future Wars". From there, guitar work can be expected to be powerful, passionate and intricately beautiful throughout the EP. It is layered nicely, giving more overall depth to the band's sound. The drumming follows suit, with thundering parts, and other ones that seem to help slow the band as a whole together. Add in some subtle bass work and some very impacting vocals, and you have a great sound coming from this band. Also featured is a short piano part, found in the last song of the EP, "Untitled". The EP as a whole features a general quieter part about 4 songs in, then approaches a huge climax with "Fairmount", and then it disappears quickly with the piano/vocal duo in "Untitled". There is always a lot of power present behind the lyrics and the nature of the music itself really accents what is being implied by the lyrics. Track listing: 01. Future Wars 02. A Word Of Welcome and Warning 03. See You In Vancouver 04. To Withstand The Force Of Storms 05. He Is Here, He Is Not Afraid 06. The Surgeon And The Scientist 07. Fairmount 08. Untitled
Lyrics — 9
The lyrics put out by La Dispute are intricate and can be really engaging. The vocalist, Jordan, always seems to be putting in a great deal of effort as to how the lyrics are presented, and I feel that brings a big positive aspect to the band. Whether people like them or not, his singing is often one of the main discussion points on La Dispute. The beginning of the EP is always memorable, with the whole band erupting in sound and then these lyrics presented: "Crows, wipe the blood from the end of your claws. Said the vulture Let's gather like storms for the war" The general vibe of the lyrics has a doubtful, negative feel to it, as if someone is about to give up fighting for something. I really felt like this was highlighted about midway through the climax song, "Fairmount": "I've slept for twenty years, but I've acted strong at least if you're leaving again, then you're leaving again and you're gone. and I feel nothing anymore, so just keep walking away thirty-thousand steps, I'll watch you for every second and never feel alone. I've been sleeping for at least the last two years my dear, my princess, my sister, my lover, my friend. I made you a bed of thorns for every rose you ever left outside my door, that's all you ever left me." The huge emotional connection that seems to be going on here combined with the nature of the music can make the songs heart-wrenching. Some of them are easily relate-able, and others are more like laid-out stories that are usually beyond what most people have or will experience. Jordan's vocal style varies quite a bit throughout the EP, and he caters to specific song sections differently, giving the lyric presentation a more dynamic and impacting feel. He has a good voice no matter how he applies it, and it is interesting to hear the different ways he goes about his duty.
Overall Impression — 8
"Vancouver" is a good EP from La Dispute, it give a general layout of what one can expect from their future releases. It takes the listener through a little ride of emotions and sound, spitting you out with a feeling of wonder and curiosity. It is a very notable contribution to the post-hardcore scene, and can be a good starting point for people interested in a group of bands called The Wave (which also features Touche Amore, Pianos Become The Teeth, Defeater, and Make Do And Mend).

Two Senecans nabbed in drug bust
The police say two Seneca residents were arrested today in a drug bust, in which a K-9 was used to detain one suspect who ran. Qawi Aziz Kabir, formerly Michael Bernard Christian, and Gladys Rafiah Elmore were charged with trafficking crack cocaine and possession with intent to distribute marijuana. The police say Kabir was also charged with resisting arrest when he jerked away from an officer and began to flee. According to an announcement by the police department, at 6:40 this morning the police tactical response team made entry into 303 Hunter Street where Kabir and Elmore were detained. SLED agents assisted with the execution of the warrant and, during the search, agents reported finding a large amount of crack cocaine, marijuana, and U-S currency.

Hey there, time traveller!
This article was published 20/6/2011 (2254 days ago), so information in it may no longer be current.
OTTAWA -- The Conservative government brandished the sword of back-to-work legislation for the second time in a week Monday, this time to force an end to the Canada Post lockout.
If the two sides can't agree to their own deal by the time the bill passes, it will be up to an arbitrator to decide which side has the better offer.
Tabling the bill in the Commons may help break the impasse in talks between the two sides; Air Canada and its employees announced a deal hours after the Tories introduced back-to-work legislation to end that dispute last week.
But while the end of the postal lockout may be welcome news for those eager to see mail services resume, critics are alarmed at what appears to be a major change in labour relations policy for Canada.
"Without any public policy debate, we now have a new bargaining regime," said George Smith, a fellow at Queen's University School of Policy Studies and labour relations expert.
"I don't think this was a platform of the Harper government. It surprises me that, without that debate, that they have decided in two cases where there is clearly not overwhelming evidence of economic harm that they will intervene and impose upon the parties a process that is not contemplated in the Canada Labour Code at this point in time."
Urban postal operations were suspended by Canada Post countrywide last Wednesday after nearly two weeks of rotating strikes by the union.
The two sides made no progress in their talks over the weekend, and it was uncertain whether talks scheduled for Monday would take place.
Federal Labour Minister Lisa Raitt signalled last week the bill was coming and introduced it after question period Monday.
She said she hopes that it either passes before the Commons rises for the summer on Thursday or that the two sides work out their own solution before then.
"Canadians want certainty. They want to know that their mail is going to continue to be delivered or start to be delivered once again, and that's what we are here for," she said.
The job action had already cost Canada Post $100 million.
The Crown corporation has said the main sticking point in the dispute is the union's demand for staffing levels beyond the capability of Canada Post, adding that wages were not the key disagreement.
The union has emphasized working conditions and safety issues and unwanted cuts for new employees including inferior wages and pensions.
Postal workers marched at a number of rallies across the country Monday from Kamloops, B.C., to Labrador City, N.L., to gain public support for their cause.
Workers and their supporters in Vancouver, Edmonton and Winnipeg also said they occupied the offices of Conservative MPs.

Some Greater Western Sydney staff believe Jeremy Cameron is a future Brownlow medallist, and former teammate and 300-gamer Luke Power last year tipped him to become the best player in the game within five years. But the 19-year-old from Dartmoor in Victoria, population 218, is more concerned with continuing his return from injury and making a strong start against the Swans in round one.
Cameron began pre-season training just before Christmas after recovering from hip surgery and played NAB Cup matches before being rested last week. GWS officials will confirm on Thursday that, barring any training mishaps, he will play in the trial match against St Kilda on Saturday at Blacktown International Sportspark, alongside his forward line colleague Jonathon Patton.
There are huge expectations on the pair this season.
Both have signed long-term deals, which will see them lead the Giants' forward charge for at least the next three seasons.
Cameron said he and Patton had been working hard at training to form a solid working partnership. He said he had enjoyed having less scrutiny than Patton last year, given that Patton was a No.1 national draft pick, but felt comfortable with anything that might come his way this year.
''Last year it was good [to not have as much focus as Patton],'' Cameron said.
''I was just happy to be up at the Giants. I didn't go in No.1 or anything - I didn't even go in the draft. I was just happy as Larry to get up here. Patto had a lot of the limelight coming into the club till he got injured. Now Lachie Whitfield's come to the club and he's No.1, so he's taking a lot this year, which has taken a bit of it off Patto.''
But that might change. Cameron demanded increasing attention last year, scoring 29 goals in his 16 matches before injury struck. In round five, he caught the eye of pundits when he kicked five goals against the Western Bulldogs.
''When we're in the club we do everything together, go to our meetings together, train on each other at times and work on stuff in the air because we both want the ball,'' he said of his relationship with Patton. ''It's always good to train with each other and I think we're starting to get to know each other a lot more on the field. The good players work together and know each other's strengths and weaknesses. When you do that it happens out on the field too. Say, if Jono gets it on the ground I know he's going to roll to his right side, so I've got to be in that spot. It's little things like that we work towards.''
The pair face a big first-up test, against the Swans who, despite losing Alex Johnson to injury, sport a fine defence.
''They swap it up a fair bit,'' Cameron said when asked how he expected the match-ups to line up. ''We'll do a bit of homework and go from there.''

A spokeswoman for Oscar Pistorius says suggestions the Paralympian took acting lessons before his murder trial testimony are ''totally devoid of any truth''.
We ''deny that our client has undergone any 'acting lessons' or any form of emotional coaching'', Anneliese Burgess, media manager for the Pistorius family, said on his website on Tuesday.
Pistorius broke down repeatedly in the witness box as he gave his version of shooting dead girlfriend Reeva Steenkamp on Valentine's Day last year.
His vomiting and loud crying have often disrupted proceedings, and some have questioned his sincerity.
Well-known South African columnist Jani Allan claimed he had been coached for his emotional performance.
''I have it from a reliable source that you are taking acting lessons for your days in court. Your coach has an impossible task,'' she wrote in an open letter posted on her website on Monday last week.
''Oscar, you are the latest in a long line of faux heroes. Like so many who preceded you, you have betrayed your people and disappointed your fans.''
But Burgess said in the statement: ''This type of comment makes a mockery of the enormous human tragedy involving the Steenkamp family and our client and his family.''
Pistorius says he fired four shots through a locked cubicle door thinking Steenkamp, a 29-year-old model, was an intruder coming to attack him in the dead of night.
Prosecutors have argued that the shooting came after a row in the early morning hours.
His trial was postponed for the Easter break and will restart on May 5. AFP

Brown, of Sterling, VA, was elected by 700 of BBYO's top teen leaders to serve at the helm of the organization, representing the B'nai B'rith Girls (BBG), BBYO's renowned leadership program and high school sorority, travel around the world and motivate Jewish teens to grow their local BBYO programs, strengthen their Jewish communities and make a difference in the world. Brown takes the reins at a monumental time for the organization – BBYO has grown immensely to reach a network of nearly 40,000 teens annually over the last five years, and is celebrating its 89th year in existence.
"I am very excited to visit the Chicago Jewish community," said Brown. "There is significant potential to increase Jewish teen involvement in Great Midwest Region and it has such a rich BBYO history; I look forward to the opportunity to collaborate with local BBYO teens and professionals to develop a plan for growth and greater program excellence."
During Brown's visit, she will be visiting local chapter meetings, as well as meeting with local BBYO teen leaders and professionals. The Great Midwest Region is at a pivotal place to grow, so the region invited Brown to inspire teens, as well as promote current initiatives from BBYO internationally, such as the launch of their summer experience registration.
Over the course of her year-long term, Brown, who deferred her first year of college to serve as BBYO's top ambassador, will travel to more than 50 U.S. cities and at least six countries. Key to Brown's agenda is the promotion of BBYO's international initiatives, including leading campaigns to increase AZA and BBG membership, supporting teen-led efforts to help those in need locally and globally through the BBYO Stand UP campaign and promoting BBYO's broad menu of summer travel and premiere service learning opportunities.
Brown's responsibilities also include serving as a resource for chapter and regional BBYO leaders to strengthen local programming and serving as a voting member of BBYO's Board of Directors.
"Michaela is a dynamic leader with a real passion for the Jewish community, which makes her an excellent role model for Jewish teens here in Chicago, as well as Jewish teens around the world," said BBYO's Program Director of the Great Midwest Region, Marty Shankle. "We are thrilled that she will be spending several days in our community working to help BBYO Great Midwest Region reach its full potential."
In the capacity of president, Brown is joined by male counterpart, Mika Stein of Dallas, TX, who oversees BBYO's young men's division, Aleph Zadik Aleph (AZA); together, Brown and Stein work with eight other elected BBYO leaders from all over North America to help move the organization forward.
About BBYO
BBYO is the leading pluralistic Jewish teen movement aspiring to involve more Jewish teens in more meaningful Jewish experiences. For 90 years, BBYO's leadership programs the Aleph Zadik Aleph (AZA, high school fraternity) and the B'nai B'rith Girls (BBG, high school sorority) have been providing exceptional leadership programs and identity enrichment experiences, shaping the confidence and character of more than 400,000 alumni who are among the most prominent figures in business, politics, academia, the arts and Jewish communal life. Now, BBYO's network of Jewish teens, alumni, parents, volunteers and philanthropists serves as the Jewish community's most valuable platform for delivering to the post Bar/Bat Mitzvah audience fun, meaningful and affordable experiences. With year-round activities in hundreds of local communities and inspiring world-wide travel experiences, BBYO's broad program menu enables teens to explore areas of leadership, service, civic engagement, Israel education and Jewish values.

The Red Sox are battling through interleague play. With Adrian Gonzalez in the outfield and David Ortiz at first base, the team is moving pieces around to keep the sluggers in the lineup.
The flip-flopping between Kevin Youkilis and Will Middlebrooks at third base has also taken some creativity from Red Sox manager Bobby Valentine. As it all unfolds, we'll sort through this week's mailbag.
Why trade Youk? Gonzo does less and will get a better return. Youkilis is out of place at third and does an extra job [at first base]. Gonzo is not even good at first.
— Alfred Brunell, Murells Intlet, S.C.
While I appreciate your question, my man, you have to realize that trading players isn't like changing clothes. There are a few things that are just off-base with this question, starting with the premise.
Adrian Gonzalez just signed a seven-year, $154 million deal in 2011, which is a hefty sum that most teams can't necessarily pay. He's also three years younger than Kevin Youkilis — who is 33 — and has more long-term upside.
I'm not sure where you got the idea that Gonzalez wasn't good at first base. He's collected three Gold Gloves playing that position and is regarded as one of the top defensive players at first.
Youkilis has showed his versatility moving over to first base, but Gonzalez has also been useful at different positions. He's played 13 games in right field due to the team's injuries and has made a mostly seamless transition.
And Gonzalez hasn't done less, hitting five homers and 32 RBIs compared to Youkilis' four long balls and 13 RBIs. Yes, Gonzalez is posting numbers way below his average, but it's too premature to abandon him.
Felix Doubront has no doubt been the Sox' best starting pitcher this season. Do you think there is any way he will make the All-Star team?
— Alex, Nashua, N.H.
I highly doubt it. Although Felix Doubront has surprised many by striking out 72 batters and posting a 6-3 record through 12 starts, his 4.34 ERA would probably hurt his chances of getting a nod.
Plus, there's a laundry list of American League starting pitchers who have posted better overall numbers, such as Detroit's Justin Verlander, Chicago's Chris Sale, Tampa Bay's David Price, Texas' Matt Harrison, New York's CC Sabathia, Toronto's Brandon Morrow, etc.
That certainly isn't to take anything away from Doubron't contributions. If he sustains his success, he'll eventually get recognition one way or the other.
If they could turn back time, would the Sox undo the [Andrew] Bailey trade given [Josh] Reddick's success?
— @JohnSchwingle, via Twitter
This is an intriguing question. Given the fact that Andrew Bailey, who suffered a thumb injury in spring training, hasn't thrown a single pitch this season, I still don't think the Red Sox would want a mulligan. At least, not yet.
When Bailey returns, he could be an exceptional closer, for all we know. It's tough to judge a trade when there's a player who hasn't played a single game. If Bailey takes the mound on his return and implodes, then it's obviously worth revisiting.
Plus, let's look at the outfield situation. At one point, the entire starting outfield and the entire cast of backup outfielders were all sidelined on the disabled list. No one could have ever predicted that for the Red Sox.
Considering Boston's recent string of unfortunate luck with outfield injuries, Josh Reddick may have landed on the disabled list. Who knows? In the end, there are so many unpredictable factors that make it too early to assess the trade.
Why do the Red Sox keep Darnell McDonald on the team? Don't we have any right-handed outfielders in Portland or Pawtucket?
— Jim L, Spencer, Mass.
Valentine said his decision to designate Marlon Byrd for assignment over Darnell McDonald was mostly in part to McDonald's ability to hit left-handers pretty well. For his career, McDonald is batting .276 against southpaws.
Byrd was also a liability with his defense in Boston, misplaying a few balls in Fenway Park's tricky outfield. McDonald, meanwhile, has more of a track record with the Red Sox in recent years. That also offered some staying power.
As for your second question, the Red Sox already dipped their hand in Triple-A and scooped up a right-handed outfielder in Daniel Nava.
Have a question for Didier Morais? Send it to him via Twitter at @DidierMorais or send it here. He will pick a few questions to answer every week for his mailbag.

And did you see the video of the guy who can spin an inverted glass full of water? Did ya?
I could sure use a few of these in work to handle all the balls I have to keep in the air! :-)
CGI is a cool technology. Now I want to see vampire dinosaurs playing pool.
i like the fact that they don't grunt when they hit the ball…. advancement.
It's too precise to be manually controlled. Those have to be automated to track the ball and line up the hits so accurately. Amazing.
Kinda reminds me of that movie, *batteries not included.

Mia Farrow to be a grandmother for the tenth time
Mia Farrow's daughter Dylan is four months pregnant with her first child, a baby girl.
Dylan Farrow is pregnant with a baby girl.
The 30-year-old adopted daughter of Mia Farrow and Woody Allen made the announcement as she attended TIME's 100 Gala on Tuesday night (26Apr16). Dylan couldn't hide her blossoming bump as she wore a strapless grey beaded gown while posing with her mother at the event.
She also revealed she's expecting a daughter, with her due date coming this fall.
However, she refused to be drawn on what moniker she and her husband have chosen for the tot.
"I picked a name, but my husband would kill me if I told you," Dylan told People. "He wants it to be a secret."
While this is the first child for Dylan, it will be Mia's tenth grandchild. But the 71-year-old actress is feeling more than a little joyful about the prospect of another new arrival.
"I have nine grandchildren, but I'm excited about this one," Mia added to People. "So is her husband."
Mia was at the gala as an alumni of TIME's 100 Most Influential People list. It's her third consecutive year of attending the star-studded bash.
Dylan hit headlines back in 2014 when she penned an open letter for the New York Times newspaper alleging that she had been sexually abused by her adoptive father Woody when she was just seven years old.
The movie director strenuously denied the allegations and claimed the allegations had been orchestrated by Mia as a "smear" against him.
"Not that I doubt Dylan hasn't come to believe she's been molested," he wrote in a letter to the publication. "But if from the age of 7 a vulnerable child is taught by a strong mother to hate her father because he is a monster who abused her, is it so inconceivable that after many years of this indoctrination the image of me Mia wanted to establish had taken root?
"Of course, I did not molest Dylan. I loved her and hope one day she will grasp how she has been cheated out of having a loving father and exploited by a mother more interested in her own festering anger than her daughter's well-being."

Dayton's total dollar tax levy will remain the same in 2013 as it was in 2012. Depending on market value, this means Dayton property owners with a median valued home may find themselves with an estimated $72 decrease in property taxes.
Dayton City Council approved a $3,018,245 tax levy for 2013, which is identical to the 2012 levy. Market values on a median valued home are projected to decrease by about 7 percent. Based on how much a homeowner's property value decreases compared to their neighbors, property owners many property owners will see a decrease in the city portion of their property taxes. However, some may see an increase and there's a chance that some industrial properties will experience an increase too. The extent of the tax increase and decrease will be determined once market values are determined. Some property owners' city property taxes may stay the same. However, according to their projected budget revenues, the city expects to collect an additional $138,000 in property taxes.
As required by state law, Dayton City Council approved a preliminary levy in September, which became the maximum amount the city could levy. Staff and council continued to meet to finalize a 2013 budget.
After months of budget presentations and discussion, the city council approved the final budget and levy following the state-required Truth in Taxation hearing Dec. 11.
The council outlined the following directives for their 2013 budget:
• Level off the amount of property taxes paid in 2013 so that there are fewer highs and lows.
• Zero increase for 2013. The council's desire was to keep the 2013 levy the same as 2013 with the goal of no increase in payable 2013 property taxes for a median-valued home.
• Levy for debt service for the 2007/2006A bonds for the next three years to lessen debt service impact in future years. This amounts to $204,118 levied in 2013.
• Set aside funds for improvements to the current public works building. The council approved $232,413 for this.
• Continue to fund the Pavement Management Plan. The council approved $200,000 for the plan in 2013.
• Restore wage cuts from 2011 and 2012 that resulted from mandated furloughs and as negotiated with all three unions.
• Comply with approved bargaining unit contracts and all non-union staff. The council approved a 1.5 percent cost of living adjustment increase and an additional $15 per month health increase beginning Jan. 1, 2013. There were no cost of living increases in 2010 or 2011.
• Begin to restore public works staffing from earlier staffing reductions by increasing one maintenance worker's hours from 31 hours a week to 35.
• Maintain, to the extent possible, bare bones operational budgets, focusing on continuing basic services and examining possible alternative revenue sources.
The 2013 budget projects $2,713,948 in revenue. Overall revenues are anticipated to increase by $270,975 with $138,680 of the increase due to increased property tax collections. Permits are expected to increase by less than $32,000.
Other areas with modest projected increases include recycling grant revenue and court fines.
General fund
The general fund is the city's largest fund, pays for the majority of its daily operations but excludes debt service. The 2013 general fund budget is $2,713,948. This reflects an increase of about $270,975 compared to 2012. The increase is due primarily to the funds set aside for public works improvements such as useable bathroom facilities and adequate heat. The rest of the increase is attributed to restoration of furloughed salaries, property and liability insurance increases, organization membership dues increases and other operational expense increases.
There is a decrease of $138,680 in debt service, which is set at $553,209 for 2013. The 2006B equipment certificates have been paid in full and are no longer a city debt. However, the old debt for equipment is paid and new debt comes on line with the 2012A equipment certificates.
Debt service on the 2006 and 2007A bonds is not required in 2013 but the council decided to approve a $204,118 levy to offset the increasing debt service in future years, thereby leveling the debt service to manageable levels. It is their hope that this will allow more time for future development to add to the tax base.

Dallek is among a small group of historians invited to the White House on an occasional basis to meet with Obama. He recalls at one point talking to Obama about the Tea Party and its anti-government rhetoric: "I called it the politics of resentment, and he said, 'Bob, I think you're right, there's something subterranean about the way these people process things'."
"We didn't talk about race," Dallek told the Daily Beast, "but I took it as an expression of feeling on his part that race is part of the resentment, resentment of the fact that they feel they're being elbowed aside, not just by blacks, but by Hispanics, and Asians too." Asians voted for Obama in a higher percentage even than Hispanics, Dallek notes, adding, "Race is never very far from the American experience."
Sensitive to the underlying dynamics of his election, Obama steered clear in his first term of anything overt that might stir those subterranean emotions. But now time is winding down, and he appears more willing to take risks. This could manifest itself in the executive action he has promised at summer's end to clarify the immigration status of tens of thousands and perhaps millions of immigrants, or in the tax issues that allow American corporations to shift their address overseas and stick taxpayers with the lost revenue.

Chrysler offering even more incentives to close out July
- Jeremy Korzeniewski
- Jul 25, 2008
The automotive sales sector is in a major state of flux as consumers continue to run from SUVs and pickup trucks into smaller, more fuel efficient cars. One manufacturer hit especially hard by this transition is Chrysler, a company that recently posted the worst fleet average fuel economy numbers of all major automakers in the U.S. due to its truck-heavy lineup. Still, the automaker has built up a large supply of Chrysler, Dodge and Jeep utility vehicles that they have got to get off dealer lots
Nardelli says Chrysler in a financial jam
- Merritt Johnson
- Dec 21, 2007
Chrysler Chief Executive Robert Nardelli tells a grim tale for the automaker's 2007 financial report. He has informed employees that the company is barreling towards a substantial loss this year. Bankruptcy would be imminent without $10 billion recently received from investors during the Cerberus acquisition. The company is in dire need of increased cash holdings. Nardelli hopes to sell off $1 billon in assets, composed partially of old plants and land, to generate more funds. The Chief Executiv
Chrysler blocks the doors to prevent white collar exodus
- Frank Filipponio
- Aug 8, 2007
Chrysler is apparently a little worried that there might be a mass exodus of executives during the transition from DaimlerChrysler "partnership of equals" to Cerberus stewardship. Because of that, they have taken the bold step of advising current employees against applying for jobs at Daimler AG or Chrysler Financial.

Octomom's losing her house
To the absolute joy of anyone paying taxes in California, Octomom's house is about to be foreclosed due to lack of payments. TMZ reports:
As we first reported, Octo didn't make a balloon payment of $450,000 on March 10. She's also behind $4,139 on monthly payments.
The person who sold the house to Octo and holds the note, Amer Haddadin, tells TMZ he will give her until Tuesday to pay the two amounts, plus interest and attorney's fees, or his lawyer will file to foreclose on the house.
I can't even imagine why Octomom hasn't been making payments to keep her kids probably sheltered. It's not like she's out constantly shopping or paying a battalion of nannies so she can go clubbing in New York like I'm sarcastically describing just now. But, seriously, it's probably not a bad idea to foreclose on Octomom considering she apparently turns into the goddamn devil when the lights go out. I can't say I didn't already suspect this, but seeing it before my eyes makes me realize shoving crucifixes in uteri isn't such a bad idea after all. (You win this round, church.)

Political Science 307. Freedom and Justice
This course deliberates on the nature of justice and freedom and consults with a select number of classical and modern political thinkers accordingly. We begin with thinking about the significance of freedom and responsibility for our meaningful existence and see how freedom and responsibility should be reflected in the realm of political life. Liberty and liberalism, the negative vs. positive understanding of freedom and the shortcomings of this understanding, a feminist view on modern faces of oppression and, finally, the relationship between freedom and development comprise other stages of our deliberation.
Next, we will move to the notion of justice and hear from sages like Plato, Aristotle and Kant about it. The subsequent topics are the distributive idea of justice, the ideal of global justice and the relevance of justice for justifying modern wars. We will also see another interpretation of justice as respect for the total otherness of "the other." Following this interpretation we will find a subtle and innovative characterization of justice as the impossible/gift.

Understanding online payment transaction
In India, systems enabling credit card operations, debit card operations, smart card operations, money transfer operations or similar operations are governed by the Payments and Settlement Systems Act, 2007 (PSS Act). These systems qualify as a 'payment system' as they enable payments to be made between payers and beneficiaries, and involve a payment, clearing or settlement service. Under the PSS Act, any entity operating a payment system must apply to the RBI to obtain a prior authorization. The following entities have obtained authorization from RBI:
- Credit card payment networks, such as the American Express Banking Corporation, Diners Club International Ltd., Master Card International Inc., and Visa Worldwide Pte. Ltd.
- Cross-border money transfer services such as Western Union Financial Services Inc.
- Pre-paid payment instrument issuers – such as ITZ Cash Card Ltd., Airtel M Commerce Services Ltd. (for their mWallets) mobile wallets, Sodexo SVC India Pvt. Ltd. (for the popular 'Sodexo' meal vouchers and smartcards). Regulation of prepaid instruments is discussed in greater detail below.
The full list of authorised operators can be accessed here.
1. Regulation of prepaid instruments such as gift vouchers, mobile wallets and cash cards
Various business entities have begun to issue prepaid instruments to users in the form of smart cards, magnetic stripe cards, internet accounts, internet wallets, mobile accounts, mobile wallets, paper vouchers and similar instruments. New businesses such as en e-commerce website may consider issuing prepaid instruments to encourage loyalty from their customers. Some may even consider issuing payment instruments of their own which are valid at a variety of locations – e.g. Sodexo passes, or they may start a new prepaid wallet/ cash card service. In such situations, the regulation governing prepaid payment instruments should be understood.
RBI has issued Issuance and Operation of Pre-paid Payment Instruments in India (Reserve Bank) Directions, 2009 to regulate the issue of such instruments, in order to prevent a 'shadow banking system' from coming into existence, and for prevention of money laundering. The directions classify payment instruments into three types, as represented in the table below:
Type of payment instrument
Regulatory requirements/ preconditions for issue
Closed Payment System Instruments
A prepaid instrument for facilitating purchase of goods and services from itself – these instruments do not require an authorization from RBI. For example, issuance of gift vouchers by Flipkart will not require authorization from RBI.
Semi-closed Payment System Instruments
Any payment instrument which is redeemable at a select group of merchant locations (for availing third party services) – issuance of such instruments requires prior authorization from the RBI. Therefore, issuance of Sodexo meal vouchers (which are redeemable at select restaurants) will require an authorization from RBI.
RBI has issued various directions and imposed limits on the value of such instruments - readers who are interested in further details may access the RBI notifications here.
Open Payment System Instruments
A payment instrument which can be used at any merchant location or point of sale (i.e. shop or store) which accepts cards, and which permit cash withdrawals require RBI authorization and can only be issued by banks.
2. Regulation of payment gateways
As per the directions, only amounts which were previously specified by the payment gateway to the merchant can be deducted by way of commission. The amount must be remitted to the merchant within 2-3 days of the transaction having taken place.
The directions specify what amounts could be received or spent from the account of the payment gateway – receipts should usually be the amounts received from customers when they make purchases and payments will be the amounts paid to the merchants. In certain cases, commission may have to be paid to another intermediary at a rate pre-determined under an agreement, or there a reversal of transaction in case of a disputed or failed transaction may have to be undertaken.
The CC Avenue Agreement – A Case Study
In order to receive online payment from customers for any products or services that are sold online, it is necessary to avail the services of a payment gateway. An e-commerce business (or any other business which accepts payments online) will be required to avail the services of a payment gateway. In this discussion, we discuss the terms of the agreement with CC Avenue in brief. The full version of the agreement has been uploaded on the system.
Responsibilities of the merchant – is the gateway liable for unexpected losses?
A reading of the agreement will indicate that CC Avenue in fact demarcates responsibilities for various processes pertaining to the online transaction, and for the most part, allocates them to the merchant (i.e. the business which intends to avail of its services). While it is a facilitator, the merchant (i.e. the business) has substantial responsibilities to ensure that transactions are carried out safely – such as the obligation to maintain a secure link with CC Avenue (when a transaction is being carried out) or to verify the IP address of CC Avenue in the confirmation message. Even losses on account of hacking or any other reason that is outside the control of the e-commerce site are required to be borne by the business itself.
Which goods can be sold using the payment gateway's services? How should the amount be remitted to the merchant?
Any remittances from CC Avenue are payable after deduction of their annual charges, commission, applicable taxes and fees. In addition, CC Avenue strictly specifies what products and services cannot be sold using its payment gateway services –e.g. pornographic goods, unauthorized goods, multi-level marketing collection fees, etc. In case a customer refuses to pay on grounds that the product was defective or the payment for the transaction has already been made, or when a bank advises it that the credit card number does not match a real number on a file, CC Avenue will not be liable to pay.
CC Avenue also has the right to use the trademarks of the merchant in the course of marketing its services to other entities. Further, CC Avenue and the banks (whose cards are supported by the CC Avenue gateway) have the right to display their trademarks, notices, etc. on the website of the merchant.

Baker police Thursday arrested a man accused of firing two shots into the ground outside a birthday party last weekend where four teenagers were shot.
Police booked Donnie T. Cavalier, 24, 8811 Edwin St., Baton Rouge, into East Baton Rouge Parish Prison on a count of illegal use of a weapon, said Baker Police Chief Mike Knaps.
Cavalier, wearing a yellow shirt with the word "Security" on it the night of the party, told investigators he fired two shots into the ground outside the Baker Civic Club on March 28 in an attempt to control the chaos in the aftermath of the shooting, according to an affidavit of probable cause.
Knaps previously said two shell casings found outside the building on North Magnolia Drive could possibly have been fired by a security guard, and that detectives were investigating the role of security guards at the party.
Police previously arrested Nakeydran L. Williams, 16, the accused shooter of the teens, and booked him into the East Baton Rouge Parish Juvenile Detention Center on three counts of first-degree murder, one count of attempted first-degree murder and one count of illegal possession of a weapon.
Williams is accused of fatally shooting Marcell Franklin, a 15-year-old girl who died at the party, and three teenage boys, two who later died at hospitals.
Kendal Dorsey, 15, and Diontrey Claiborne, 18, died from gunshot wounds suffered at the Friday night party, while Javaughn Simmons, 19, was shot in the face and is expected to recover.

AFTER an emergency meeting was called this evening, the LNP party room has voted to ask State President Bruce McIver to consider Yeerongpilly MP Carl Judge's disendorsement.
8.17pm: "I was hopeful a resolution would be achieved," Mr Judge said.
"Clearly they are seeking to have me expelled.
"I would have liked to have had the opportunity to address the party room."
8.10pm: Mr Judge said he was committed to the LNP despite the decision and would await the party's final call.
"Campbell Newman and Jeff Seeney run the parliamentary wing... They certainly don't run the party," he said.
Mr Judge said he had sought a meeting with the Premier before the party room meeting but was denied one.
He called on Mr Seeney to substantiate the allegations against him and afford him natural justice.
8.05pm: Yeerongpilly MP Carl Judge is expected to call a press conference soon after the LNP party room voted to recommend his disendorsement during an emergency meeting earlier this evening.
7.30pm: "There was a whole range of behavior we found unacceptable," Deputy Premier Jeff Seeney said.
"The team has decided to take action."
He said the party would ask State President Bruce McIver to consider Mr Judge's disendorsement.
Mr Seeney said the party room had voted "without dissent" on a motion asking Mr McIver to take action against the Yeerongpilly MP.
"We don't believe the member for Yeerongpilly... any longer deserves the endorsement of the LNP in that position."
Mr Seeney said the party room did not have the power to expel him.
"All the party room can do is exclude him from our ranks," he said.
As for Gaven MP Alex Douglas' fate, Mr Seeney said he was confident he and Premier Campbell Newman would come to a resolution.
"They are both experienced politicians and I think they will settle their differences tonight," Mr Seeney said.
Mr Newman, Mr Douglas and several other MPs remain locked in a meeting tonight, attempting to resolve those issues.
Mr Douglas said he was still a member of the LNP and would "probably die one".
6.40pm: LNP MPs had called an emergency party room meeting this evening amid speculation rogue backbenchers Carl Judge and Alex Douglas could be punted from the party.
Water Minister Mark McArdle, asked as he entered the meeting if the two should go, answered only "Yes" before closing the door.
Dr Douglas also entered the meeting, saying only: "I'll always be an LNP MP."
Mr Newman said their membership was: "A matter for the party room".
But Howard Hobbs, who some had speculated could follow former colleague Ray Hopper and defect to Katter's Australian Party, said: "The LNP's a great party to be with", adding "My word" when asked if he wanted to stick with the Newman team.

EARLIER, sidelined Gold Coast MP Alex Douglas planned to stay put in the LNP if he is allowed to, despite being kicked off another committee for speaking out against the government.
The Member for Gaven today demanded to be reinstated to the Ethics Committee and sought a retraction of comments made by Manager of Government Business Ray Stevens, regarding his honesty and integrity.
The pair attacked each other on radio this morning, over events leading up to his removal from the Ethics Committee.
In parliament, Premier Campbell Newman said he was disappointed to hear two members of his government at loggerheads on radio, but he believed Mr Stevens over Dr Douglas, who was also discharged from the Legal Affairs Committee.
Mr Newman told parliament Dr Douglas had assured him - in a meeting with witnesses on Tuesday - that he was happy with the move.
Mr Newman attacked the integrity of his MP and said it was right that he be stripped of his new committee role.
"Perhaps that speaks volumes about why there does need to be a change, because if you don't have the integrity to tell the truth about a meeting with the leader of your party ... then perhaps you shouldn't be doing that job," the premier said.
He said that during Tuesday's meeting, he told Dr Douglas: "Alex, there will be no move if you are unhappy."
The premier said the MP replied: "I'm perfectly happy to do this and move."
After Question Time, Dr Douglas said he planned to remain in the LNP but conceded he could face similar treatment to Carl Judge who has been banned from the LNP party room, for disloyalty.
"The normal sorts of procedures to be banned, would require a vote of the party room and it would have to be very strongly supported," he said.
Manager of Government Business Ray Stevens told Parliament moments after today's sitting started, that Dr Douglas would be discharged as chairman of the Legal Affairs Committee, and Ian Berry appointed in his place.
Independent Peter Wellington spoke against the motion, saying it was a "get square" by the government because it had the numbers to do so.
A division was called and the motion was passed with all LNP MPs voting in favour, and the Opposition, Katter Australian Party and Mr Wellington voting against.
Wavering MP Carl Judge was not in the chamber.
The move is a significant blow to Dr Douglas who also lost his place on the Parliamentary Crime and Misconduct Committee yesterday.
It effectively means a $21,000 pay cut.
Mr Berry is the Member for Ipswich, a seat he holds with a four per cent margin.
Earlier, Mr Judge criticised the removal of Ethics Committee chairman Alex Douglas, comparing the treatment to that of his own at the hands of the LNP.
Three days after Mr Judge was locked out of the LNP party room for not publicly declaring his allegiance to the Premier, he is still to make up his mind whether to remain with the party, or leave.
He said he expected to announce a decision tomorrow, but it was proving very difficult.
"If I need a bit longer, I'll take a bit more time. It's a difficult decision to make," said Mr Judge.
"There's no reverse gear on this."
In relation to the removal of Dr Douglas from the Ethics and Parliamentary Crime and Misconduct Committees, Mr Judge said it was "not the approach he would've taken to deal with somebody".
"We all operate differently. That's the course of action they've taken, so be it," he said.
"I'm sure it's been upsetting for Dr Douglas, likewise when I was approached by the Deputy Premier and (Manager of Government Business) Ray Stevens, I wasn't impressed with their manner.
"We didn't have a cup of tea, put it that way. There could've been another approach taken."
Responding to the events of the last few days, Opposition leader Annastacia Palaszczuk said there was "something rotten" in the State of Queensland.
"I believe Alex Douglas to be a very ethical man, a man of integrity, a man who understands the nature of handling an Ethics and PCMC committee," she said.
"There's a lot of explaining at needs to happen today not only by the Premier but also by the Leader of the House.
"I am very concerned that we have very serious matters before the Ethics Committee and why now has Alex Douglas been pushed aside."
This morning, it was reported that axed Ethics Committee chairman Alex Douglas would demand to be immediately reinstated to his post in a personal statement to the parliament.
Dr Douglas said he had received new information about the reasons for his removal - which he did not request, despite Premier Campbell Newman telling the Parliament he had.
"I'm very very uncomfortable with what the Premier said in parliament yesterday," said Dr Douglas.
Asked if he believed the Premier had misled the house, he said "people will make up their own minds about that".
Campbell Newman told Parliament, he understood Dr Douglas had indicated he wanted a change from the Ethics Committee and the Parliamentary Crime and Misconduct Committee.
Mr Newman said if he had not wanted to change, he did not have to.
Dr Douglas said he was only told shortly before parliament sat of the decision, and he had not got the full details of why he was moved at that time.
EXCLUSIVE: LNP no more ethical than Labor, poll finds
"I am now aware of other things that have transpired and these things give me great concern as the exiting chairman of the Ethics Committee," he said.
"You don't go and change the chairman. You only change the chairman if you're trying to set a different type of agenda, and if you haven't told the chairman it beholds the chairman to take action.
"I'm not trying to build myself up. There's something very, very odd about what has occurred."
But Manager of Government Business Ray Stevens described the ongoing dramatics in Parliament as "cheap show business".
Mr Stevens claimed Dr Douglas was being "loose with the truth" and insisted he was happy with the changes.
He told ABC Radio, he reported his conversation to the Premier which led to his statement to parliament that Dr Douglas had asked for the change.
"Alex likes to talk on the media regularly and we found out later he was unhappy, he has been very unhappy about not being on Cabinet," Mr Stevens said.
He went on to say if he was disgruntled, he should resign from his new post as chairman of the Legal Affairs and Community Safety Committee.
Mr Stevens insisted the appointment only came about because of the defection of Ray Hopper from the LNP to the Katter Australian Party.
Dr Douglas has suggested other motivations were in play to move him out of the powerful Ethics Committee which was in the process of investigating accusations Transport and Main Roads' Director-General Michael Caltabiano misinformed an Estimates hearing about his work history. '
The Ethics Committee had just suspended a number of inquiries into matters relating to Mr Caltabiano.
Yesterday the government claimed the reasons for the change was because of the defection of Ray Hopper to the Katter Australian Party.
Mining magnate Clive Palmer, who threw in his Liberal National Party life membership last week after a long-running war of words with government, says the premier should resign for misleading parliament.
"The premier has no alternative but to resign for misleading parliament and the good people of Queensland over this grubby affair," he said in a statement on Wednesday.
Mr Palmer has also called for Katter's Australian Party's Queensland leader Rob Katter and Labor leader Annastacia Palaszczuk to refer Mr Newman to the ethics committee.
Meanwhile, the divisions within Campbell Newman's Government have sparked concerns in the Coalition ranks in Canberra.
One senior figure has told the Premier he needs to better manage the renegades in his parliamentary team.
Despite public assurances from Tony Abbott that he was not worried about the threats of more defections, one of Mr Abbott's closest allies said Mr Newman needed to learn from the way Mr Abbott managed outspoken federal MPs and Senators such as Alby Schultz, Bill Heffernan and Barnaby Joyce.
"You've got to manage people, keep them on side," the senior source said. "If you can't manage them, all people see is bits and pieces falling off the machine."
Senior federal members of the Liberal National Party said they feared the fallout damaging their merged party's brand and one warned that "they could blow it apart".
"They have got to get their sh*t together. This is amateur hour stuff," the source said.
"It's not just Campbell, it's the whole leadership team."
The anonymous attack from very senior levels reflects a growing anxiety in the federal party about being tarnished by the infighting within the state LNP.
It is designed to send a message to the State Government of anger from within the federal Coalition, the source said.
But another senior federal Coalition figure defended Mr Newman, saying "only one defection" was insignificant given the size of his back bench.
The same person said Clive Palmer should wear the blame for the turmoil.
Some in the Coalition are warning they need to view Bob Katter as more of a threat than Labor and have predicted his party could win a Senate seat from either one of the main parties at next year's election.
Mr Abbott has avoided commenting on the fallout in the LNP, saying it is "a matter for the party in Queensland".
He has publicly denied suggestions the LNP is "falling apart" and laughed off suggestions the threatened defections were hurting the party.
"If we get the kind of election result that Campbell Newman got in Queensland, I'd be a very happy man," Mr Abbott said on Monday.
