The Planning and Development department of the Buffalo Trace Area Development District is responsible for administering grant applications and developing plans, including Comprehensive Plans, Land Use Plans, Solid Waste Plans, and Water Supply Plans. Staff provides assistance to County and City Governments in obtaining financing for different types of community facility projects and infrastructure projects such as water lines, sewer lines, gas lines, and road improvements. The CD department also assists Water Districts and Water Associations in the Buffalo Trace area.
The Planning and Development staff work with the following funding sources: Community Development Block Grant, Farmers Home Administration, Land and Water Conservation, Economic Development Administration, Appalachian Regional Commission, Kentucky Infrastructure Authority, Kentucky Rural Economic Development Authority and the Kentucky Housing Corporation.
The Wooden Covered Bridge Authority began actively meeting during 2003. The main objective of the Authority is to provide guidance and oversight in the preservation of historic covered bridges.
For additional information, contact Community Development Director, Kristie Dodge at (606) 564-6894.
Development Grants/Loans
The tools for accomplishing community/economic development projects are the funding sources available from various federal, state, and local programs. Historically, many projects have been undertaken with a single source of funding assistance. However, as public dollars become more difficult to obtain, the combination of sources is often required to successfully package a project.
The following is a listing of federal, state, and local agencies that provide grant and/or loan assistance:
Community Development Block Grant (CDBG)
Each project must involve job creation or retention and federal regulations require that 51 percent of those hired by companies receiving CDBG assistance be persons from low and moderate income families. When a loan is made for a for-profit entity, the borrowing business firm repays the loan to the local government which can then use the money for other economic development projects. Rate and terms for loans are set by the state based upon a necessary and appropriate analysis of the particular project
USDA Rural Development (Farmers Home Administration)
All communities in the Buffalo Trace Area Development District are eligible for Rural Development funding by location within a rural area.
Water/sewer: funds are available to undertake water and sewer projects in the form of grants and loans.
Community facilities: below market rate loans are available for community projects such as hospitals, community buildings, airports, etc.
515 Program: loan funds are available for the construction of multi-unit housing to benefit the elderly and low income. Rent subsidies or tax credits are inducements to private developers. Public agencies and non-profit groups are also eligible.
Business and industry loans: loan guarantees are available up to a maximum amount of ten million dollars for eligible business and industry projects.
Appalachian Regional Commission (ARC)
Supplemental grants are classified into two elements, one which is termed as 'distressed counties' and the other, economic development. Of the 49 Kentucky ARC counties, a portion are determined to be 'distressed'. These counties are eligible to receive grant assistance to supplement other funds used for water, sewer, and solid waste improvements. The economic development program provides supplemental funding for job producing projects, such as a shopping center of manufacturer. Supplemental grants must be matched 50-50 and with grant assistance the total federal grant assistance cannot exceed 80 percent.
Economic Development Administration (EDA)
Businesses may be eligible for loans guaranteed by the Economic Development Administration. The guaranteed loans can be used to finance both fixed assets and working capital. No assistance can be given for relocation, for lines of credit, to finance debt, or for real estate for investment or speculations.
EDA can guarantee up to 80 percent of the loan made by a private lender. Priority is given to guarantees of 75 percent or less. Generally, EDA loan guarantees are for larger firms and range from about $500,000 to $10,000,000. Priority is given to projects that are labor intensive, with assistance usually limited to no more than $20,000 per permanent job created or saved.
A minimum borrower equity of 15 percent is required for either fixed assets or working capital guarantees. Personal and/or corporate guarantees are required of borrowers. Collateral for guaranteed loans can be land, buildings, equipment, inventories, accounts receivable, and personal assets. Liens on collateral securing an EDA guaranteed loan cannot be in a subordinated position.
Terms for guaranteed loans for fixed assets cannot exceed the weighted average economic life of the project's fixed assets. For working capital, terms ordinarily may not exceed five years. Interest rates are set by the lender, with limits set by EDA. Guarantee fees of about one percent are charged by EDA.
There are two programs of primary interest. These are public works and technical assistance. The public works program provides grant assistance to cities and counties in a percentage amount as pre-determined by EDA. In the Buffalo Trace area, maximum grant amounts range from 60 to 80 percent. Examples of EDA projects are water, sewer, and industrial park projects. The technical assistance grants are available to provide financial support for a technical report needed in support of economic development.
Kentucky Rural Economic Development Act (KREDA)
Eligible companies include corporations, partnerships, sole proprietorships, or business trusts that establish new manufacturing plants or expand existing manufacturing operations in qualifying Kentucky counties.
Kentucky counties whose average annual unemployment rate has exceeded the state average for the five preceding calendar years are eligible.
Eligible projects include land, buildings, fixtures and equipment for new and expanding manufacturing companies, and related office facilities. Eligible costs include expenditures for land acquisition, architectural and engineering services, building construction or rehabilitation, and installation costs.
A KREDA approved company receives a 100% credit against the Kentucky income tax liability to the annual amount of debt service (principal and interest) paid to a lender in connection with the eligible project financing. The tax credit remains in place for the term of the financing or for 15 years, whichever occurs first. Unused credits may be carried forward for the term of the KREDA agreement.
An approved company may also utilize the Job Development Assessment Fee. This entails a withholding from the employees hired as a result of the KREDA approved project for 2% of the employees' gross wages. The employees recoup the JDAF through a state income tax credit equal to the amount withheld. Either option is limited to the annual amount of debt service paid to a lender in connection with the eligible project financing.
Since the benefits under the KREDA program are related to debt service payments, the company must incur debt for the project's fixed asset financing. The financing may be provided through any source, the most typical being banks or industrial revenue bonds. However, the approved company may not recover debt service paid in connection with financing from the Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) program.
Kentucky Infrastructure Authority (KIA)
The Kentucky Infrastructure Authority was created as a program of assistance to governmental agencies in the state with respect to the construction and acquisition of infrastructure projects including wastewater facilities, drinking water systems, transportation networks, and other utilities. The Authority assumed all the powers, duties, and obligations of the Kentucky Pollution Abatement and Water Resources Finance Authority. Programs offered by the Authority are as follows:
Fund A: Federally Assisted Wastewater Revolving Fund – Finances local wastewater treatment and collection facilities that are on the 'project priority list' of the Division of Water, Natural Resources and Environmental Projection Cabinet.
Fund B: Infrastructure Revolving Fund – Provides financial assistance to governmental agencies for the construction or acquisition of infrastructure projects that promote economic development. The projects must be evaluated as a Priority One by the Kentucky Department for Local Government, based on criteria that include unemployment data, job creation potential, cost-benefit analysis, and effectiveness in accomplishing objectives. <p">Fund C: Governmental Agencies Program – Provides governmental agencies access to funding for any type of infrastructure project that benefits the general public. Funding is through the municipal bond market at better terms than could be obtained on an individual basis.
Fund D: Construction Loan Program – Available to governmental agencies that have obtained a permanent financing commitment from the Rural Development (formerly Farmers Home Administration) or the Kentucky Infrastructure Authority. The project cannot be a 'private activity' type.
Fund E: Solid Waste Revolving Loan and Grant Program – Provides loan/grant funds to governmental agencies for solid waste projects evaluated and prioritized by the Division of Waste Management in the Natural Resources and Environmental Protection Cabinet.
Small Business Administration (SBA)
Small businesses that are unable to obtain financing on reasonable terms from private lenders may qualify for loans or loan guarantees by the U. S. Small Business Administration. Loans made by private lending institutions can be guaranteed by the SBA for up to 90 percent of the loan. The maximum SBA guaranteed loan is $750,000. SBA director loans can be up to $150,000.
To be eligible for an SBA loan guarantee, a small business must be independently owned and operated, have sufficient equity, have adequate collateral, and have a repayment ability. Additionally, the business must not be able to obtain the funds from commercial lending institutions on reasonable terms nor be able to provide personal funds for the project without undue financial hardship.
Proceeds from the loans can be used for working capital; to construct, expand or convert facilities; and, to purchase machinery, equipment and supplies. SBA loan guarantees are not made for speculation, for newspapers, for lending or investment, or for purchases of real property for sale or investment.
Maximum maturities for these business loans are 25 years for land, buildings, and equipment and 7 years for working capital.

For Tahira Johnson, the choice was probably the easiest part of the process.
The 6-foot-1 forward from New York didn't even need to come home and sleep on her decision. She verbally committed Friday night, during her official visit to South Florida.
"They play in the Big East and it's the best conference in college basketball," Johnson said by phone Saturday. "Coach Jose [Fernandez] is really trying to build something here and I wanted somewhere I could go and make a name for myself."
Connecticut, Louisville and Rutgers are just three of the Big East teams the Bulls will have to defeat in the quest for a title, but Johnson is excited about the challenge and her new coach's drive for the team's success.
In his ninth year leading the Bulls, Fernandez has guided the program to five seasons of a .500 record or better, including a 16-16 finish in 2007-'08, after the program saw only three winning seasons in its first 23 years. Fernandez's 2005-'06 team also made the program's first NCAA tournament appearance.
"I have a really good relationship with the coaches," Johnson said. "[Coach Fernandez] wants me to focus on getting my degree and everything on the basketball court will follow. We'll work hard and we want to win a Big East title and go to the NCAAs."
Johnson, No. 79 in the ESPN HoopGurlz 100 for the Class of 2009, also considered Big East teams Seton Hall and St. John's, but took her only other official visit to Atlantic 10 Conference program George Washington, located in Washington D.C. Despite being farther from home -- USF's located in Tampa, Fla. -- Johnson's not worried about being far from her family.
"I had a home visit with USF this week and had a good feeling about it," Johnson said. "But I wanted to take the visit and commit when my mom was here. … She wants me to get away from home and experience campus life."
Now, with her college choice out of the way, Johnson will turn her focus to her senior season at New York's Christ the King, where coach Bob Mackey has another solid team with a tough schedule.
"I wanted to get it over with and focus on winning a state title at Christ the King," Johnson said.
Johnson is the second verbal commitment for Fernandez's 2009 class. She joins Conner, a 5-foot-9 guard from New Jersey's Teaneck High School.
Discuss this on our Message Board.

Dr. Hofnarr is a character who only appears in Episode 1.5 of Madness: Project Nexus, seen in levels [1.5-B] and [1.5-C]. Hofnarr was an eccentric scientist of Project Nexus 15 years ago who had a higher level access than that of Dr. Christoff and other scientists, as seen by his green clip tag.
In the Story Mode, Christoff comes to Hofnarr asking him as an old friend to help him bring down Project Nexus. Shortly, a group of armed agents enters and Hofnarr realizes that there is no other option. Dr. Hofnarr help Christoff through level [1.5-B], killing foes and opening doors and panels that are restricted to higher-level access. His involvement in the following level is limited to granting Christoff access to the main tower of the Nexus.
- There is much evidence that suggests Dr. Hofnarr is Tricky.
- There's a glitch that occurs when you go back to the room where Hofnarr was if you have him as company. The glitch is that there are two Dr. Hofnarrs in the room, one spawning inside and the original following you as company.
- Hofnarr, Jesus and Tricky are the only characters to physically have hair.

My Form Is No Longer Working. Its showing "Incomplete Values" error message.Asked by candiredd on January 07, 2016 at 12:25 AM
My Join Get It Gurlz Form is no longer working properly. It was working over the past couple of months or so and today out of now where everyone is calling and texting me saying that it reads: "INCOMPLETE VALUES."
Frustrated, I'm telling my potential members that, they are doing it wrong. Then I went to my own website and tried it. To no avail, it does not work. What do I need to do to rectify this situation?
JotForm Support
Hello candiredd,
With which form you are having this issue with?
I did check your web page URL and it seems you have deleted the embedded form. Please check the screenshot below:
It seems you earlier embedded your form using its full source code. In most likely case, you must have edited your form in JotForm but did not update the latest code in your webpage.
Please restore the form or embed the desired form with its iFrame embed code and that should solve your problem. The following guide should help you grab your form's iFrame embed code: http://www.jotform.com/help/148-Getting-the-Form-iFrame-Code
Hope this helps.
Do get back to us if you have any questions.
Thank you!
Because it stopped working so I began to duplicate the form and erase the
old one
I see that you are now using the new form in place of the old form, and it is embedded with the iFrame embed method. I assume that the issue is resolved, and you no longer have the issue with the new form.
Please let us know should you experience any further issues, and we will be happy to help. Thank you.
I don't know because I didn't test it yet. I guess I have to wait to get a
bunch of complaining people to fond out
So... what do I do?
It's still not working on either. And how can I get back the submissions I deleted in attempt to fix this mess. GOOOOOD! I'M LOOSING TIME AND MEMEBERS!
JotForm Support

You have but to no avail there has been no resolutuon
JotForm Support
I made a test in a clone of your form, I remove the required property from the phone number field and it worked, I did it , since unfortunately, I'm not able to enter a valid number.
Unfortunately, I can not modify your form, so I would suggest you to remove the required property for the phone number in your form and try to submit it.
Once I did it I was able to do it.
We will wait for your response.
But why? Why do I have to take that off when IT WORKED FINE...
JotForm Support
Hello getitgurlz,
I did test your form which is embedded in your webpage and I was able to submit it successfully. It did not display any error message. Please check the screenshot below:
I do not see a reason why you should be having this issue. Can you please test your form again and get back to us if the issue persists, we will report it to our backend team.

Quorn Shepherd's Pie With Cheesy Top
Recipe by cakeinmyface
Quorn may not be vegan, but I never said I was puritanical about being vegan. Cheese certainly isn't--I do try, but sometimes I just need the cheese! My meat eating husband loved this last night. I just chucked in some extra veg
Top Review by La Dilettante
Quite good! For traditional recipes like this one, quorn works much better than the soy crumbles. I am a vegetarian who doesn't insist on something to resemble the texture of meat---but my husband (NOT a vegetarian, by any means!) does enjoy the illusion that he's having a Manly Meat Meal---and he says that in dishes like these, he can't tell the difference! I do wish more people would give this tasty product a try.
See Discussion:1 Review
Ingredients Nutrition
- 350 g quorn mince (1 frozen bag)
- 2 medium diced onions
- 2 celery ribs
- 1 large leek, sliced
- 3 medium diced carrots
- 3 minced garlic cloves
- 1 teaspoon basil
- 1⁄2 teaspoon ground nutmeg
- 2 vegetable bouillon cubes
- 1 tablespoon vegetables, gravy granules
- 2 tablespoons tomato paste
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 lb potato (peeled and cut into chunks)
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1⁄2 teaspoon nutmeg
- 4 ounces Mature cheddar cheese (grated)
- 3 cups water
- 1 1⁄2 tablespoons margarine
- 3 tablespoons milk
Directions See How It's Made
- Preheat your oven to gas mark 6.
- In a large saucepan birng some water to the boil and the salt and the potatoes simmer until tender about 15-20 minute.
- Whilst you potatoes are cooking, heat the olive oil in a pan and gently fry the onions carrots celery and leeks together for about 5 minutes on a medium heat. Transfer into a large casserole dish. (The reason why I have separated out step 1 and 2 is because my frying pan isn't very big, so I do 2 batches of frying; however if you have a big enough pan you can combine these two steps).
- Next fry the quorn mince with the garlic herbs and one of the 0.5 teaspoon of the nutmeg, after about 2 min add one cup of the water and the stock cubes fry gently for about 5 minutes, transfer to the large casserole dish.
- Add to the casserole dish the 2 remaining cups of water, gravy granules and tomato paste; give a good stir and put dish in the oven for 15 minutes.
- Mash your potatoes with the milk and margarine, adding the remaining nutmeg until smooth and creamy. Spread the mash over the quorn mixture. Make lines with a fork if you wish and sprinkle over the cheese. Put back in the oven for 20 minutes.
- Take out and eat--yum yum.

Morgan Kelly was a Human female, who served in the Federation Starfleet as an officer in its early years, in the 22nd century.
Kelly served with distinction during the Earth-Romulan War. After the war has ended, Kelly underwent a transition surgery from male to female. (ENT - Rise of the Federation novel: Live by the Code)
In 2165, following the incapacitation of Lieutenant Ahn Chung-hee on Delta IV, Captain Bryce Shumar and his first officer Commander Caroline Paris selected Kelly to be the new armory officer of the starship Essex.
In May of that year, she led a security team to the Orion transport Rimula-Bero, and escorted the abducted Deltans from the slave ship to the Essex. She did a flawless job and showed quite a restraint despite the Deltan's strong pheromones, but was puzzled when the abductees decided not to press charges against their kidnappers. (ENT - Rise of the Federation novel: Uncertain Logic)
In October of the same year, during the Evacuation of Ardan IV, Kelly was able to save an evacuation shuttle hit by a Klingon bird-of-prey, despite that the shuttle was falling back to the planet surface and the Essex was chasing it into the atmosphere, at task that the ship was not built to handle. During the in the heat of battle, in one of she status reports, she shortened the word "phase cannon" to "phaser", making her one of the first Starfleet officers to use the term. (ENT - Rise of the Federation novel: Live by the Code)
In 2167, the Essex was was caught in a electromagnetic storm over a moon of Mab-Bu VI and was destroyed, when a group of disembodied prisoners tried to escape from their prison. Kelly died with the rest of the crew. (TNG episode: "Power Play")

Even running, I didn't have a chance in hell of catching up with him. I was a sprinting mouse trying to run down a slow, loping giraffe. He had physical advantages I couldn't compete with. And the fact that I never, ever, engaged in any kind of physical activity was not much of a help.
I promised myself that if this stupidly impulsive adventure didn't leave me mortally wounded from an exploded chest cavity, I would start using the dusty treadmill in our basement. Even smart girls should be able to run a few blocks without causing internal bleeding.
Once we were out of view of the school, it seemed like Porter slowed his pace a bit, and after another block, he stopped altogether near a small park with dead winter grass. I actually started to gain on him a bit.
The realization that I might actually catch him sent a nervous rush through my body. What exactly was I planning on doing? Hauling him back to school? Interrogating him on the street? How crazed did I actually look, running him down to . . . what?
What the hell was I thinking?
What would Porter think?
I stopped, suddenly hyper self-conscious in a way I never, ever was. Since when did I care what some guy from school thought? Next to me, I caught sight of my reflection in a large tinted plate-glass window. My hair was wild and my face looked desperate in a physically injured way. If I had been able to see any color in that reflection, I knew my whole head would be flushed a deep, deep crimson from running.
I stepped away, worried that maybe there was someone on the other side of the dark tint watching me disapprove of myself and getting a huge laugh at my expense. I should turn around and head straight back to school before anyone even realized I had left. It probably wasn't too late. Just stroll across the parking lot, back to the yard, and rejoin everyone else waiting for the fourth-hour bell to ring.
That's what I would do.
Except, just then, Porter Creed turned his head and saw me standing there, and he started to walk back up the street toward me.
I froze to the spot, right next to the large windows that undoubtedly hid the audience amused by my shame.
This was such a stupid idea.
Wait, this was not a stupid idea at all—that was giving myself way too much credit, because none of this had been an idea in the first place. No, this hot mess of embarrassing idiocy was a headlong, impulsive, rush toward God knows what.
And the what was actually a who and the who was an angry-looking Porter Creed, who was now standing right in front of me.
"Are you following me?" he asked.
I was so obviously following him I couldn't think of a single reasonable thing to say. So instead I said, "You're not supposed to leave school grounds."
Porter looked over my head and all around us, like maybe I had a secret camera crew in tow and we were busting him for News @ Nine. "What are you, some kind of vigilante hall monitor?"
"No, but I am your calc partner and we are supposed to meet after school today to get started." This, I felt, at least made some sort of rational sense.
Porter lifted his wrist and looked at his watch, "Am I missing something? It's not after school yet."
"But you won't come back."
"How do you know?"
"Because you never do!" Which was totally true, but I totally wished I could take the statement back, because now Porter Creed knew—
"What, you track my comings and goings?"
"No, but . . ." But what? "But you never do and it's not like I didn't offer to do all the work but you're the one who has the problem with that so if you want to work on this as a team . . . then I need to know you're going to actually be there!"
Porter, who towered over me by probably an entire foot, just stared at me with those deep, deep eyes. I expected him to maybe yell back, but instead, he let out a shaky sigh and ran his hand through his hair in a way that made it stick up on the side.
Right then, standing there, watching his eyes shift to the street while he tried to think of something to say, a startling realization pushed all my annoyance into an insignificant ball and shoved it to a corner of my racing brain. My heart still hammered like mad. It had started first because of the running. It had continued when I got mad. But now, now I realized—it was hammering simply because Porter Creed was standing in front of me. Shoving his hands into the pockets of his jeans, looking not at all like a crazed psycho. He looked completely vulnerable.
When he returned his eyes to mine, my heart pumped so hard it sent a shivery wave of discovery that started in my chest and rode on a current through every nerve ending until it reached the tips of my fingers and the ends of my toes. The feeling was so intense, I had to look away from him. My eyes found a spot of dirty black gum to stare at on the concrete instead.
"You're right," he said. "I wasn't going to come back."
I just nodded and kept my eyes low, suddenly afraid that if I dared to look up, he would be able to read what was happening inside of me written all over my traitorous face. I should say something. Acknowledge his acknowledgment—somehow. Except, just then, just when I really, really needed it, my normally oceanic-size vocabulary seemed to have dried up to the point of extinction. All that was left flopping on the dry sand of my cognitive resources was, "Yeah, well . . . okay."
My God! Did physical attraction to another human being reduce me to this? "Well?" I managed to ask. "Are you going to come back with me now?"
Porter looked at his watch again. "No." He shrugged. "And I don't think you'll want to either. Fourth-hour already started."
"What?" I reached for my phone in my back pocket and saw two things. First, the time, which absolutely confirmed that Porter was right. I had missed the start of my fourth-hour class—I was officially truant. Second, there were about a million text messages from Eli, each one more alarmed, distressed, and CAPITALIZED than the last.
"Shit," I whispered, and looked up at Porter who actually, amazingly, looked somewhat sympathetic. "What am I supposed to do now?"
Porter shrugged. "I go to the library a lot."
"You ditch school so you can go to the library?"
He didn't answer me, just waited for me to decide what I was going to do. Was I going to go back to school, face security, face the attendance clerk, and face an afternoon of detention—or was I going to walk another three blocks with Porter to the city library and worry about all the rest of it later?
"We could actually start working on that calc project," he suggested.
We were ditching school to work on school work—it wasn't exciting, it was unlikely I would end up drunk in a basement and tattooed with pink hair, but it made me feel better. Sort of like we weren't really ditching at all, just working remotely. "Okay," I nodded. "Let's do that then," my tone was super grave, like I just found out I had some incurable disease.
Porter stared at me like he was observing some undiscovered freak of nature. "Have you seriously never ditched school?"
We started walking. The wind had picked up, and I was starting to feel cold because I had rushed out of the cafeteria in January without my sweatshirt—or anything else, I realized. I had left my bag and all its contents right there at the table next to Eli. "I don't even stay home when I'm sick."
Porter laughed, and without even asking, slipped first one arm and then the next out of his severely beaten leather bomber jacket and handed it to me.
Not understanding what he was doing, I looked first at it and then at him while we walked and he continued to hold the jacket between us.
"You look cold," he explained.
"Oh!" I took it from him and hesitated—the rough looking leather was actually super soft in my hands—before putting my arms through the sleeves that hung way past the tips of my fingers. The inside of the jacket had a quilted liner that was still warm from Porter's body. "Thanks," I said. I watched him nod, shove his hands in his jean's pockets, and raise his shoulders against the cold.
No boy, not even Eli, had ever offered me their coat before. As much as I hated to admit it, as we walked that last block, side by side, it felt really good to be wearing it—and somewhere inside me I realized, it wasn't just because it was warm.
When we reached the stone steps to the library, Porter leaped up them two at a time ahead of me, pulled open the door, then stood holding it for me until I caught up.
"Thanks," I said.
The library had a double set of doors, so I reached for the second set but Porter moved fast around me and took the door handle from me. Because I wasn't expecting it, the whole exchange was sort of awkward, me reaching, him reaching, me moving out of the way, me saying, "Thank you," again, even though I just said it.
Both of us not looking the other one in the eye.
God, maybe I should have gone back to school and taken the detention.
"There are some tables on the second floor that I usually use. No one else really knows they're there."
I nodded. We were here to work on our project, even though I didn't have anything with me. How exactly was I planning on getting anything done, I wondered. Porter's coat sleeves slipped over my hands again, and the thought occurred to me that I should probably give it back to him now that we were inside.
But I didn't.
I followed him to the back of the first floor toward the staircase. "I don't have any of my things," I whispered.
Porter turned around and inspected me, then shrugged. "We'll plan it out for now," he explained, and then looked at his watch again before heading up the marble stairs. He didn't race up these, maybe because we were inside the library instead of outside. As his feet climbed each step in front of me I noticed the bottom of his left shoe had a flap of the rubber sole that was peeling away. Actually, now that I was looking closely, both of his shoes were so tattered and worn, they looked like they might completely fall off his feet at any moment.
And the collar of his T-shirt, I noticed, the ribbed collar was separating from the rest of the shirt at the base of his neck. A thin sliver of his skin showed through the hole. I looked away quickly, like I had seen something I wasn't supposed to. When we reached the top of the stairs I slid off his coat and handed it back to him. "Thanks again," I said. "Sorry if you were cold."
He shrugged and held the coat like is was a stray animal in one hand.
What was I doing here?
When we reached the table, Porter let his backpack slide off his shoulder and I took my phone from my back pocket. There were five more text messages from Eli, who was now in full-blown emergency mode and threatening to go and get my mother if I didn't—!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!TEXT ME BACK RIGHT NOW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
"Crap," I said, and started typing.
"Everything okay?"
"Yes—no. I don't know." A nervous dread filled me as I finally responded to Eli and told him I was fine and that I would meet up with him after school and tell him everything. Also, did he happen to pick up my stuff from the cafeteria?
Sorry! I texted back
"My friend is just worried," I explained.
Porter raised his eyebrows but didn't say anything. He pulled out his calculus book and a single sheet of crumpled notebook paper that looked like it had been living at the bottom of his bag for weeks. He dug around in his bag some more, pulled out the strange small binder filled with thousands of pages I had seen him with at lunch, a torn manila folder, a broken eraser, and finally stopped when he produced a tiny nub of a pencil that had been sharpened down to about two inches. "Sorry, this is all I have," he held it up. "Wait!" He got up and left the table. I had no idea where he was going, and he was gone before I thought to ask.
This entire afternoon had me confused and lost—completely adrift from my normal routine. It felt like being inside a strange movie about someone else's life. I had no idea what might happen next.
I stared at Porter's giant paper-filled binder and wondered why in the world he would lug such an enormous thing around. It must weigh a ton.
When Porter came back, he was holding a small golf pencil like it was a victory torch. Ah, now I understood. They kept these next to the catalog computers so people could write down the call number for the book they were looking for. "Thanks," I said. When I took the tiny pencil from him and our fingers brushed against each other, I tried to ignore the electric sensation this insignificant physical contact created in my nervous system.
What the hell was wrong with me?
I was sitting in the single chair at the end of the table, so Porter pulled out and sat in the chair immediately to my right. He pushed his bag away and pulled the crumbled paper and his calculus book closer. "All right," he said as his hands pressed and smoothed what was essentially a piece of garbage flat. "I think we should start by figuring out who will tackle what."
Why was he using this scrap when he had a whole binder overflowing with paper? "What's that?" I pointed.
Porter glanced to his right and laid his hand on top of the binder. "What? This?"
"Yes, the thing that appears to be filled with perfect paper while you're suggesting we get started working on less-than-perfect paper."
Porter smirked; maybe he kind of liked that I was such a smart ass. He pulled the binder over and flipped open the cover. "Because this perfect paper is already being used." He turned the binder toward me so I could read the cover page: United Flight Operations Manual.
I gave him a confused look and flipped through some of the pages that were separated by tiny plastic tabs. "What . . . like, for pilots?"
Porter nodded.
The manual looked totally legit. "Where'd you get this?"
He hesitated for only a moment while I pulled the manual closer and opened to a section titled: Boeing 747 Preflight Safety Checks. "It was my grandfather's."
"And he just let you have it?"
Porter shrugged. "Not exactly. I can guarantee it was supposed to be given back to the airline when he died, but I took it instead. That, and his favorite jacket."
I looked up into Porter's eyes, "I'm sorry he died . . . were you close?"
Porter shook his head, "I never even met him. The first time I ever saw him he was lying in his casket."
I looked back at the manual in front of me and tried to figure out what to say next. I guess I could understand the jacket, but I wanted to ask him why he would take something as strange as a pilot's flight manual from a man that he never even knew—not to mention carrying it around everywhere he went.
But before I could gather the nerve, Porter reached for the binder, closed it, and slid it to the side.
"We should get to work," he said, and returned his attentions to straightening out the wrinkled paper that would be our project plan.
I stared at his hands. They were big. Big wide hands with long fingers that ended in nails that were clean and recently clipped. They looked like hands that could do things. Build things. Porter's hands looked like they did work. They were attractive. Porter had attractive—
My eyes yanked away from his attractive hands and fell directly into his eyes. His eyes that were staring right through me. "I'm listening."
He furrowed his brow like he didn't believe me, then returned to what he was saying. "I'll handle the . . ."
It was like my body was operating completely independent from the rational, thinking side of my brain. I rubbed my hands down my thighs, drying the sweat on my jeans. Sitting this close to him was almost painful. My God—I should get up and go home right now.
I felt nervous, flushed, excited, scared—all at the same time. I wanted to touch his hand, but didn't dare do something so stupid. It was a ridiculous thought, but what would it feel like to hold that big hand, the one with the tiny pencil, the hand capable of scribbling out that amazingly complex equation?
"That's wrong," I blurted, and pointed to his calculation mistake with my own finger.
Startled, Porter sat back and frowned at where I was pointing. "No it's not."
I nodded emphatically, "Um, yes. Yes, it is." I could feel that my eyes had opened super wide and my face had that are you seriously questioning my ability? look.
Porter shook his head, flipped the paper over, and began writing something else. "Look," he said.
Annoyed that my mathematical authority was being challenged, I sat back in my chair and waited for him to be wrong again.
I leaned forward, narrowed my eyes at his work. For several minutes, numbers piled on top of numbers. Porter, seemingly lost in his mathematical creation, worked quickly. Completely focused, he turned the page sideways when he ran out of space and began carrying equations down the side of the paper.
When he had finished, he sat back and stared at the rush of thinking he had produced. "See?"
I stared. I did see. "Yes," I said, suddenly realizing that, without noticing it, Porter and I had moved very close together while he had worked so hard to prove me wrong. Under the table, my knee was pressed against his leg.
We were touching.
I continued to stare at his complicated equation, pretending to still be considering it even though I knew within a minute what he had done. The place on my knee that pressed against his leg felt like it was the epicenter of a brilliant flame. I wanted to move my leg away.
I also didn't want to move my leg away.
Porter was staring at the paper too, and I realized he was now also aware that our legs were touching under the table.
Why, why, why didn't I stay at the cafeteria table with Eli?
"Impressive," I finally managed to say, taking the opportunity to sit back and shift my body away from his. Breaking the contact between us was a relief—but also a little disappointing.
I took a breath, "So, you're clearly a genius." It was almost painful for me to admit. "How do you want to break the project up?"
For the next hour, we planned and sketched and divided assignments, always careful to not touch again, it seemed. Just when I thought we were really getting started, Porter looked at his watch, then jumped up so fast his chair tipped over behind him with loud crash. "Crap," he said and started grabbing everything on the table and shoving it back into his bag. He didn't even zip it up before he threw the strap over his shoulder. "I gotta go," was all he said, and then walked away.
Stunned, I sat there and watched him go. Realizing only after it was too late to stop him that he'd forgotten his jacket.

The Fiat 500 city car made a major contribution to the renaissance in fashionable superminis seen in the last few years. Its retro styling, combined with exceptional performance, low running costs and a generous amount of equipment, endeared it to thousands of younger buyers in Britain. In the new Fiat 500L the manufacturer has produced a car aimed squarely at those same buyers, many of whom have started families and are looking for additional space and practicality.
At the same time, the importance of keeping the snub-nosed charm of the original 500 could not be understated. The front profile of the car, therefore, retains the steep curve of the bonnet and windscreen as well as the rounded headlights. A full-length panoramic glass roof measuring 1.5 square metres, optional on all models and standard on Lounge and above emphasises the stylish look as well as increasing passenger visibility and the impression of space inside the cabin.
The exterior of the 500L also features a vast array of customisation options, enabling owners to create a highly individual take on the 500L's inimitable style. Buyers can choose between 10 different body colours, a black or white roof, and black, white or silver alloy wheels. Colour-coded front and rear bumpers only add to the general air of sophistication.
The 500L is 600mm longer, 170mm taller and 147mm wider than its sibling – extra size that has not been wasted. The car offers a class-leading 400 litres of storage space with the rear seats folded forward, as well as an amount of headroom and legroom allowing even large adults to stretch out and relax. As well as being ample in terms of pure volume, the boot's notable length allows the transport of objects up to 2.4 metres long. The 22 luggage compartments are also very convenient when storing smaller items.
Three Euro 6-compliant engines – a 0.9 turbo TwinAir (petrol), 1.4 litre FIRE (petrol), and a 1.3 Multijet (diesel) – deliver a confident, refined driving experience. Running costs are also impressively low – the 1.4 diesel motor is capable of achieving combined fuel economy of 68.3mpg and CO2 emissions of 110g/km.
The extensive list of standard convenience and comfort equipment on the 500L includes such features as a 5" touchscreen radio, Bluetooth® connectivity and cruise control. The high-spec Lounge variant offers a plethora of high-quality features, among them climate control air conditioning, rear parking sensors, electric rear windows, and rain-sensing windscreen wipers.
Like the initial 500, the 500L is a car built with safety in mind. Six airbags are complemented by an array of active stability and traction measures – ABS brakes, Electronic Brakeforce Distribution, ASR/MSR anti-slip functions, ERM (Electronic Rollover Migration), and DST (Driver Steering Torque).
The Fiat 500L represents a significant increase in size compared to the original Fiat 500. at 4147mm long, 1784mm wide and 1665mm high, the 500L is truely a practical family car which even outdoes the Panda in terms of space.
500L engine sizes range from the 0.9litre Twinair and 1.4 litre petrol engines to the 1.3 diesel engine variant enabling a young "trendy" family to get the best efficiency out of this five seater mini MPV.

Extremely Professional
Dr. Callaway is kind, wicked smart, an excellent diagnostician and surgeon. I am so glad he was able to accurately diagnose my problem, and use all non surgical interventions first to resolve the problem. I had surgery last week at the ROSC and could not have been more pleased. He did an excellent job...so glad I chose Raleigh Orthopedics!!!!

Thanks Dr. C
From my experience, Dr. Callaway is an extremely good doctor. His demeaner is friendly and professional. He goes over every detail of your treatment, from diagnosis, reviewing xrays and MRI, what to expect pre and post surgery, to recovery. I could not have asked for a better doctor.

If I had a choice...
I was in a car accident on the job and was sent to Dr. Callway for my wrist and lower back. When I first went he said I had a lumbar strain and suspected fractured wrist. My wrist was put in a cast and i was sent to physical therapy. After losing the ability to walk and being treated at ER he finally decided to do an MRI after 4 weeks of physical therapy. He said it was just a strain and should heal on its own. (starting week 9 of pt and things are finally starting to get better.) After 3 weeks of a cast on my arm, he says its just a sprain and puts me in a split for 2 weeks and says to do PT. My wrist is still swolen and the pain is getting worse every time I try to use it. He finally decides to get MRI - MRI shows tear in TFC and issue with DRUJ. He is still convince its just a sprain and dismissive of not only my concerns and pain, but of the radiologists report as well. After another 3 weeks of pain, he refers me to an associate that is actually a hand specialist - 1 look at MRI and says its torn and more areas of concern in the wrist so he orders EMG and nerve study, and MR arthrogram to see the extent of the damage before surgery. Why it took Dr. Callaway 9 weeks to figure out he didn't know what was wrong, but his associate knew in all of 5 minutes is beyond me. I certainly would not have chosen him as doctor if I had a say in the matter.

Great Doctor
Doctor Callaway is a great orthopaedic. He has always been very courteous to me. I need a shoulder replacement, but he has done everything to help me put the surgery off, because he knows that I do not want to have it right now. I was in an accident in 2005 and he treated me with all my injuries and cared enough to listen to me to try to figure out what was wrong with me. He specializes in shoulders, but out of all the doctors that I went to, he was the one that found out that I had 4 broken ribs. I would say if you need an orthopaedic, Dr Callaway will treat you right.

Facing the progressively alarming worldwide overall economy, the Philippine government, whilst the institutional embodiment regarding the sovereign expert regarding the Filipino individuals, is challenged to fulfill its constitutional mandate to safeguard the overall welfare.
Debates over just what government must do to save lots of the economy tend to be occurring almost everywhere, from community workplaces and college classrooms to damp markets and barber shops. It is argued it is through its fiscal administrative energy that government attempts to resuscitate the dying economy.
Community fiscal management generally is the formulation, implementation and evaluation of policies and choices on taxation and income management; resource allocation, cost management and community expenditure; community borrowings and financial obligation administration; and accounting and auditing (Briones 1983:2).
The hope of seeing genuine financial development is apparently influenced by the success of your whole fiscal plan procedure. Fiscal plan derives its meaning and direction from the individuals aspirations and goals which are considered embodied in Medium Term Philippine Development Arrange.
"The basic task regarding the Medium Term Philippine Development Arrange…is to battle poverty and build prosperity when it comes to best range the Filipino individuals. We must start financial options, preserve socio-political security, and market great stewardship-all assure a better total well being for all our people. We will target strategic actions and activities that will spur financial development and create tasks. This might simply be finished with a common purpose to place our financial household back in working order" (Arroyo 2004).
Nevertheless huge question is: how can government execute its fiscal administrative purpose to actually cushion the Filipinos from the negative effects regarding the onrushing worldwide financial crisis?
The Fiscal Policy as A Political Process
Lying at the heart of community fiscal management are the fiscal policies shaped by the socio-economic and political conversation of external and internal plan environment. Internal plan environment includes the decision-making agencies of government such as Congress, the Office regarding the President as well as its help agencies, the National Economic and Development Authority, the division of Budget and Management, the division of Finance, while the Commission on Audit, and others. Internal environment comes with the personal sector, interest groups, non-government companies and people's companies in community.
The exterior plan environment, alternatively, encompasses foreign interest groups consists of international banking institutions like the World Bank (WB), the Global financial Fund (IMF), while the Asian Development Bank, and others. Moreover, exterior plan environment includes the international agreements and financial collaboration including the General Agreement on Tariffs and Trade (GATT), World Trade Organization (WTO), Asia while the Pacific Economic Cooperation (APEC), the Association of Southeast Asian Nations (ASEAN), the business of Petroleum Exporting nations (OPEC), and establishments that offer formal Development Aid (ODA), and others (Cuaresma 1996:46).
Professor Leonor Briones regarding the U.P. National university of Public management and Governance claims that "these foreign interest groups would rather preserve the lowest profile in neighborhood fiscal politics. They do not have ahead out in the available anyway-the WB-IMF has actually regular consultations with Philippine officials as a result of the enormity regarding the Philippine community financial obligation; the MNC's [multinational corporations] tend to be represented by neighborhood dummies, while the foreign lenders by their particular Filipino proxies. In the wild political contest, these foreign interest groups present their particular tastes by economically encouraging their particular political leaders. Where the neighborhood technocrats and bureaucrats are more considerable in fiscal plan management, they attempt to affect their particular nomination and appointment." (Briones 1983:97)
This just ensures that the economic wellness regarding the nation is at the mercy regarding the international economic lenders and plan figures that issue our fiscal prescription. While it is frequently argued by scholars that industry of community management ought not to be political in its very nature, fiscal management as its sub-field just isn't free from political maneuvering as it's running in the political system.
From the scholarly view of Professor Briones, fiscal plan has actually four significant features: (1) the allocation purpose, (2) the distribution purpose, (3) the stabilization purpose, and (4) the growth purpose.
The main fiscal instrument in allocation purpose of fiscal plan could be the nationwide budget. Generally, a national budget could be the economic plan regarding the government for certain fiscal 12 months, which ultimately shows just what its resources tend to be, and how they will be generated and made use of over the fiscal period. The budget could be the government's key instrument for advertising its socio-economic objectives. The federal government budget additionally is the income, expenditures and resources of borrowings regarding the nationwide government which are familiar with attain nationwide objectives, methods and programs.
In establishing nations like the Philippines, spaces involving the rich while the poor tend to be insurmountable. Thus, distribution of income and wide range is a serious problem. The distribution purpose may have really serious implications for income tax and expenditure policies. Recently, a study came out saying that the division of Finance (DOF) in the offing to jack up the sales income tax or value-added income tax (VAT) to 15 percent from the present degree of 12 percent to increase much-needed income to connect the nation's ballooning budget deficit which hit an archive P298.5 billion just last year (Agcaoili 2010).
The report helps make the fiscal debates a lot more heated whilst the issue of security, another purpose of fiscal plan, is now the main topic of concern. Frequently, government resorts to increasing fees to really have the ways community investing or avoid budget deficit. However it is known to many the myriad tradeoffs it can develop.
Folks frequently notice in development the fiscal plans produced by government all in title of "development," another purpose of fiscal plan. Perhaps, this term is considered the most overused, if you don't abused, term in political arena.
Development is multi-faceted. The phrase itself is good into ear. However it is a "very high priced product" in terms of Professor Briones. To be able to convert development into reality, financing is, of course, required. In equilibrium with other actions, fiscal policies are expected to build resources to fund development activities (Briones 1983:55). In loan-dependent nations like the Philippines, creating resources means borrowing many having to pay a lot more.
Over one third of your nationwide budget would go to financial obligation servicing. With the widening fiscal deficit, the nationwide government's financial obligation now amounts to P4.42 trillion, accounting for more than 1 / 2 of its GDP and more than 3 x the federal government revenues if lenders had been to call the debts in. The Philippines relies heavily on domestic and foreign borrowings to bridge its fiscal gap, that will be anticipated to hit an archive P325 billion this year (abs-cbnNEWScom).
The Hard Economic Environment
Borrow much more. Taxation much more. Spend much more. It is a vicious pattern. It is undeniably that Philippines, the after that mighty tiger in Asia, has actually changed into a hopeless pussycat roared by the giant banking institutions that we have been heavily indebted. The Filipino individuals become sufferers of immoral and incapacitating conditionalities enforced by the IMF while the international economic oligarchy.
The economic scenario becomes difficult whilst the globe is facing just what many economists explain whilst the worst overall economy of all time. The credit crisis in america has actually accelerated the price of economic meltdown all over the world, making the international financing establishments much more eager than ever to force heavily indebted nations like the Philippines to draw out a pound of skin from their particular individuals. The nationwide government's total indebtedness has actually ballooned because of abrupt and sharp currency decline during this critical period of worldwide financial concerns.
Responding to reducing the effect regarding the worldwide economic downturn, the Philippine government embarks on actions directed at stimulating good overall performance throughout areas of community. Previous Socioeconomic Sec. Ralph G. Recto, for example, suggested stimulation package meant to keep the economy afloat. As a result, Economic Resiliency Arrange (ERP) ended up being put in place to supposedly find a way to sustain financial development by fiscal plan corrections alongside the utilization of pump-priming programs and important projects and activities.
The former NEDA Chief just contends that government intends to fight the present crisis by increasing investing through just what he calls stimulation package-a fiscal and monetary method which very Keynesian in nature. The ERP fundamentally entails "ensuring resources through much better income collection; enhancement of cash exchangeability, accessibility credit and low interest; and more effective investing. It seeks assure steady development, save and create tasks, provide assistance to many susceptible areas, guarantee reduced and steady prices, and improve competition in preparation when it comes to worldwide financial rebound" (Recto 2009).
This stimulation package, but is a mere pain reliever. It generally does not cure the cancer tumors, which is the crisis itself. A significant surgery procedure, for that reason, is necessary.
Think out of the package: a Fiscal technique for the overall welfare
"There's life following the IMF."
They're what of then President Nestor Kirchner of Argentina when he defied the predatory banking institutions that imposed belt-tightening actions on his individuals.
The recently chosen Philippine President Noynoy Aquino must do similar. He must have the nerve to disassociate himself from the deceptive history of "honor all debts" plan of his mother. The original government action plan for debt administration such as bond exchanges, maximizing using ODA, guarantees for GOCCs, and more borrowings, wont make lasting economic development.
The Philippines, as a completely independent country, along with dignity and nerve, must for that reason declare a moratorium on foreign financial obligation payments. This will enable our nation sufficient time to rebuild and expand our productive physical economy.
Through this fiscal method, the nation can channel a large amount of their yearly budget, rather to debt servicing, towards effective educational system, efficient medical system, and lasting medical study centers centered on meals production, wellness maintenance, and industry. Consequently, this may motivate genuine investment into agro-industrial and production areas and ensure a real course towards development.
To seriously take part in the global energy to save lots of the world's economy, the Philippine government should join the growing global demand a fresh economic climate of fixed change prices. This brand-new economic climate is thought to end the economic tsunami hitting virtually all countries these days. Proposals are built by the governing bodies of Italy, Argentina, Malaysia and an increasing number of nations, establishments, statesmen and patriots intending at switching the global economic framework based on the tradition regarding the Bretton Woods Agreement of 1945 (Philippine LaRouche Society 2004)
The matter of fiscal plan amid worldwide crisis is definitely a rather complex and thought-provoking issue. The crisis, which we currently face as a country, requires intelligent comprehension of the situation and courageous act to accomplish something suitable for the advantage of the present and future Filipino generations.
