Ex-DPJ chief Ichiro Ozawa acquitted in political funding scandal
Appeal court clears Ichiro Ozawa of wrongdoing in failing to report 400 million yen loan
Japan's one-time political kingmaker Ichiro Ozawa has been cleared of misreporting political funds, ending a drawn-out legal battle for one of the country's most colourful politicians.
The appeal court upheld an earlier ruling that Ozawa did nothing wrong in failing initially to report 400 million yen (HKD$39 million) that he had loaned to the funding body supporting his political machine.
Ozawa, 70, was once one of Japan's most powerful politicians, earning the moniker "Shadow Shogun" for behind-the-scenes manoeuvring that shaped large parts of the parliamentary landscape.
A former player in the long-ruling Liberal Democratic Party, he is credited with engineering the 2009 general election victory of the now-governing Democratic Party of Japan (DPJ), which he once led.
But his star has largely faded in recent times and his departure from the DPJ to set up his own party earlier this year did not prove the terminal blow to Prime Minister Yoshihiko Noda that commentators speculated he was hoping for.
Yesterday, presiding judge Shoji Ogawa of the Tokyo High Court upheld an April acquittal for Ozawa on charges he had conspired not to report the 400 million yen loan in 2004.
The funding body used the cash for a 350 million yen land deal and reported having received the money in documents submitted for the accounts in a different year.
Japanese law requires transactions involving political funding to be strictly recorded.
Ozawa and his aides argued that they had made technical mistakes and that the misreporting was not criminal.
Japan's mainstream media has long been critical of Ozawa's strong political influence, which critics charge stems from his vast personal wealth and allegedly lucrative connections.
Allegations of corruption have surrounded him for years, but he has never been convicted of any offence.
Noda is under pressure to call a general election soon, with defections and departures - including those by Ozawa and his acolytes - leaving his majority in the lower house extremely fragile.

Go-Ped Super GSR46R Gas Scooter at UrbanScooters.com
UrbanScooters.com has added the Go-Ped Super GSR46R Gas Scooter to their line of products. The Go-Ped Super GSR46R is a gas scooter designed for competitive racing.
The Go-Ped Super GSR46R Gas Scooter can be used as a commuter or light recreation scooter, but it's primary purpose is to serve as a racing scooter. As such, it has a top speed of 30 miles per hour. It achieves this speed via a particularly light frame and 4.5 horsepower GP460RS engine, which can be extended to 5.5 horsepower or more with the addition of the available aftermarket parts.
Many other components of the Go-Ped Super GSR46R Gas Scooter are geared towards race performance, such as the heavy duty 4130 chromoly steel frame with double sided fork, Go-Ped race pad and Pro control levers, 20" Motorcycle style "Tim Patmont bend" racing handlebars fitted with a slide tube clamp, 10" KENDA 671 street tires, and billet stem pro clamp.
The Go-Ped Super GSR46R also has a focus on braking power. Mad Dog disc brakes in front and back provide enough stopping power to cope with the horsepower of the GP460RS race engine.
Frank Minero, founder of UrbanScooters.com, had this to say about the announcement:
UrbanScooters.com was established over ten years ago, and has since become a respected retailer of scooters, bikes, pocket bikes, and similar vehicles.

You don't really make sense to be honest.
You want to be happy in your room but you don't want to put things that come from your own mind, you prefer to have things that fit and goes together.
First it isn't called happiness at this stage, it's just fitting in a stereotype and feeling relived that there are no mistakes in your room. I don't want to judge that kind of mind set since it's kind of common but you should at least question what you're trying to do.

Prosser's words left lasting legacy
The musings, quotes and anecdotes fade in and out, seep their way into consciousness, cascade into memory.
- "Fatigue makes cowards of us all."
"If your game is illegal, then you got no game."
"You can't hunt the caribou sitting in the lodge."
"Our chief want in life is somebody who shall make us do what we can."
Bryan Bedder/Getty Images
Chris Paul, left, and David West bonded quickly over their common experience of having played for Skip Prosser in college.
They are old saws, philosophical nuggets, the psychological fodder of coaches everywhere ready to be imprinted on the front of a T-shirt or Abercrombied on the back of practice shorts. But for Chris Paul, David West and Josh Howard, the words of Skip Prosser, who died at 56 of an apparent heart attack last summer, are more than just an expression of their former coach's ethos. Prosser's words, a torrent once phoned, text messaged and written, are a reminder of all he left behind.
"If you can't be on time, be early"
Chris Paul weaves through traffic like a mouse in a maze. He backpedals out of double-teams, reverse-pivots off screens and bounces off bigger opponents. The third-year point guard, who led the NBA in assists and steals this season, plays at a relentless pace, and yet he's always under control, like the ball is on a string. You wouldn't know it by his style of play, but Paul admits he has a problem with patience.
"My favorite thing that Coach used to say was, 'If you can't be on time, be early,'" Paul says. "I hate to have people wait on me, and I hate to wait for them."
Paul's MVP-caliber season has been perfectly timed for New Orleans. And while he might be awed by the byproducts of his stardom (hanging with MJ, his own shoe), he's certainly not shocked by his success. Part of that is because of the confidence he gained playing two years for Prosser at Wake Forest. "If it wasn't for Coach, neither D-West nor myself would be here," he says. "I'm forever grateful. I say a prayer before every game thanking God for putting Coach Prosser in my life."
Growing up just outside of Winston-Salem, N.C., Paul's route to Wake Forest was short, but Prosser faced a peculiar problem in recruiting CP3. Paul and his entire family were North Carolina fans. But UNC gave the point guard very little clock. By the time the Heels did, Prosser had won over Paul. "Me and Coach were so close because most of the schools, when they recruit you, an assistant recruits you," Paul says. "Coach Prosser recruited me himself. The letters that came were from him. He came to the games."
Layne Murdoch/NBAE via Getty Images
Prosser would be thrilled to see how Paul has blossomed into an MVP candidate.
Once at Wake, it didn't take long for Paul to assert himself. The Demon Deacons were coming off a season in which they won the ACC regular-season title and Prosser claimed coach of the year. Wake had lost Josh Howard to graduation but returned its starting point guard, Taron Downey. But Paul let it be known early he was going to play. "The moment that kid walked in the gym, it was his team," Kelsey says. "We didn't say it. The kids didn't say it. Nobody said it. It was just his team."
Prosser loved to coach point guards. He said his dream game would be a game when he didn't have to say a word, where his point would take over from the opening tip to the final buzzer. The idea of a silent Prosser is a strange notion, because Skip loved to talk. But he came closest to his dream in coaching Paul, an All-American in his second year at Wake. It was almost fitting, then, that when Prosser died last July, Paul gave the eulogy at the memorial service in Winston-Salem, speaking about and for his coach.
During the eulogy, Paul spoke from his heart, scrapping what he had written down. He talked about when Prosser first took the job at Wake. Wanting the new coach at the local university to notice him, Paul had purposely bumped into Prosser at the AAU championships in Orlando. He didn't know at the time that Prosser would change his life forever. "He gave us a chance," Paul said. "He cared about us, and he helped us not only grow as basketball players but also as men."
"Carpe diem"
David West is Paul's safety valve, the guy CP3 finds when the shot clock is running down and the Hornets need a bucket. West might have entered college as a back-to-the-basket power forward, but he has developed a deadly face-up game. He draws bigs away from the hoop, freeing things up for Tyson Chandler, and he hits tough shots: runners, high-arching fadeaways that seem to softly drop from the rafters, game winners. So why is it that no one knows who he is? Shooting free throws in a late-season game against the Lakers, one knowledgeable fan tried to heckle West. "Go back to the D-League," the fan shouted. "Who are you?" Um, he was an NBA All-Star this season who averaged 20.6 points, 8.9 boards and 1.3 blocks.

West, right, certainly hasn't backed down during his first playoff series.
In high school in New Jersey, West swore off basketball after he clashed with a coach at the end of his sophomore year. After his family moved to North Carolina, his new school's coach eventually convinced him to play. However, even after he moved on to Hargrave Military Academy in Virginia, prepping alongside Howard, few colleges recruited him. West says Prosser believed in him long before anybody else was willing to give him a chance. "He really took a shot in the dark," West says. St. Bonaventure head coach Mark Schmidt, an assistant to Prosser at Xavier, says West was far from a finished product when he arrived at Xavier. "He was long and lanky with great hands," Schmidt says. "He was a good dunker, but he couldn't shoot the ball outside 5 feet."
West says he and Prosser had instant chemistry. And even though he didn't recognize his own potential, eventually Prosser's words rubbed off.
"Carpe diem," West says. "He'd say, 'You have to take advantage of this lifetime because when you die, you're dead for a long time.' He never held his tongue about anything, especially if it was going to make you a better player or a better person. When someone is going to be completely honest with you, you know they have your best interests at heart."
Prosser coached West for two seasons at Xavier, not long enough to see the big man named AP National Player of the Year as a senior in 2003. But he kept in touch, calling, text messaging, writing at least once a month. When the Hornets drafted Paul, Prosser called West to tell him how much he thought of the young point guard and how he could help West's game. Linked by Coach and their North Carolina roots, a natural friendship developed between West and Paul. "D-West still probably doesn't realize how much I look up to him," Paul says. "Even in the games, I look to him for his approval. When I was in college, Coach used to talk about him all the time."
Both players admit Prosser's death brought them closer, with West calling Paul nearly every day for a few months to see if he was OK. Paul knew Prosser's death was equally tough on West. "To see him cry, someone I had never seen cry before, lets me know how special Coach was," Paul says.
"That broke me," West adds. "I haven't felt that broken since my grandmother passed. It split me down the middle."
"Are you a 3-to-6 player or a 6-to-3 player?"
A photo hangs near the front door in Josh Howard's Dallas-area home, a shot of Prosser and Howard from an ACC tournament game with Josh in full emotive mode. "You can see the look on my face like I'm wanting to win," the Mavericks' small forward says. "And the look on his face is like 'Calm down.'" Howard likes to look at the photo every day when he wakes up and to think about the distance the two men traveled together. "I just try to keep his memory alive," Howard says. "That was my guy."
Josh Howard was a unanimous choice for ACC Player of the Year in his final season at Wake Forest.
Prosser never forgot his days as a high school history teacher in Wheeling, W.Va. Before every practice, he would read something, be it a philosophic aphorism of Ralph Waldo Emerson or a newspaper story Prosser felt was instructive. And though he was known for treating every player equally, certain sayings he would repeat when addressing specific individuals.
Howard might have been Wake's best player in Prosser's first year in Winston-Salem, but the coach thought he could be better. "Are you a 3-to-6 player?" he'd constantly ask Howard about the hours he was willing to invest in the game each day. "Or a 6-to-3 player?" Howard admits he was one of the last guys to practice and the first to leave. He wasn't devoted enough to the game. He says it came down to a matter of trust, of knowing Coach and his teammates had his back. "Coach taught me how to trust. I had trust issues when it came to playing like I wanted to play," Howard says. "I remember him sitting me down in the office after my junior year and telling me I was going to have to lead next year's team. That showed me he saw something in me."
J-Ho's senior year couldn't have gone much better. Behind his 19.5 points and 8.3 rebounds per game, the Deacons won the ACC regular-season title by two games. Prosser was named ACC Coach of the Year, and Howard became the first player to be unanimously selected ACC Player of the Year since David Thompson in 1974-75. He also became the first person in his family to graduate from college.
But the coach-player connection didn't stop after Howard was drafted by the Mavs and became an All-Star last season. A product of a single-parent household, Josh says he saw Prosser as a father figure. He valued the phone calls from Prosser. Not just the preseason wishes of good luck that Coach would make to all his NBA players, but the monthly calls when the two could just rap. That's why Prosser's unexpected death was so hard on Howard. "I'm still tripping that, you know, he's gone," he says. And it's why Howard decided to make the grand gesture of giving up some space on his right arm to honor his guy. While West is true to his school with an "X" tattoo on his left arm, Howard had "trust" inked on the inside of his right wrist and "Skip" on his right biceps. "I know Coach was the reason I got to the NBA," Josh says. "I'm always playing for him. He made the biggest impact on me."
The Miller Center, Wake Forest's practice facility, is awash with Skipisms. In the basement where players collect their clean practice unis a sign reads: "Playing time is not like Halloween. Just because you have a uniform doesn't mean you're going to get any candy." On the steps that lead to the floor a sign on the first landing asks Howard's favorite question, "Are you a 3-to-6 player?" while a sign on the second landing asks, "Or a 6-to-3 player?" And near the entrance there is a simple reminder: "The gym is the best place you'll ever be."
Words can't quite capture what Skip Prosser meant to Paul, West and Howard or to the game itself. But they do have a power all their own. In the end, Prosser's words are still heard in Winston-Salem, where this past season the Deacons had two players make the ACC's all-freshman team. And next fall, Prosser's final recruiting class will enroll. Considered to be a top-five class, it includes two 7-footers and one of the nation's best small forwards, Al-Farouq Aminu. "My dad wanted desperately to take a team to the Final Four," says Mark Prosser, an assistant coach at Bucknell. "I think they'll have the talent in a year or two to do that. The foundation is there. It will be their team. But he had something to do with it, and he'll be watching."
Until then, three of his favorite players will carry the banner in the Mavericks-Hornets series. They'll battle it out in the first round without receiving any pregame call from Coach, knowing he would have tried to catch a couple of the games in person. They play for New Orleans. And Dallas. And yet, still, they play for Skip.

I can not get the calculations to fall out correctly on my registration formAsked by truesimplicity on April 03, 2016 at 06:43 PM
Below is a link to the form I have been working on for days! I am so confused on the calculations of the form. I have got some of it to work but not all of it. Can you please help clear up what I am doing wrong.
When "Individual" is selected.. $60 falls into golf fee (in basket) and I believe when "Foursome" is selected. $600 falls into golf fee. I have also got the correct fee to fall out under Individual where you enter additional dinner guest, it will multiply the 1-4 x's $65 and put down in the basket the correct amount but I cant get it to work the same way under the Foursome area (add'tl dinner guest x's $65).
At the end I want it to total in the basket
the golf fee + additional dinner $ + additional donation and put the total in the box. This is the amount that I will have Paypal charge to their credit card (I have not set up Paypal yet).
I am a volunteer parent trying to help my sons football team w/ a golf tournament fundraiser. I have spent a stupid amount of time on this form. If I could have talked to someone days ago, I believe ALL of this would have been resolved and the form would have been successfully created. Why not have an option for phone support for a fee$ ??
Here is my form I need help on.
Thank you.
Very frustrated!!
JotForm Support
We apologize for the inconvenience caused. I was able to test your form https://www.jotform.com/60837611770154 and I also see the problem with the incorrect calculations.
Allow me more time to check for the right calculation needed to get the correct Total. I'll update you here as soon as I can.
JotForm Support
Please test my demo form https://form.jotform.com/60937569665978 . Check if the calculations to Total were correct.
The 'Additional Donations' field is an input field. So you will need manually input value to it to be included in the Total.
You can also clone the test form so that you can review it on your Form Builder.

Hope this work. Let us know if you need further assistance.
Thank you Jonathan!! everything looks good but the $amount that falls out for "Individual" golfer should be $160 NOT $60. I tried going back through the form to see where to change it and could not figure it out. Can you tell me how to do that please?
I really appreciate your help!!:-)))
JotForm Support
Hello truesimplicity,
I did test my colleague's form and it seems to calculate the amount for individual golfer correctly. Please check the screenshot below:
The issue seems to be related to the $160 being displayed in the headings. Please check the screenshot below how to edit it:
Hope this helps.
Do get back to us if you have any questions.
Thank you!
I am soooooo confused! The Individual golf fee should be $160. When I fill in the "cloned" form from above $60 falls into the golf fee box in the basket. Why? Why? Why? I can not see how it is getting the $ amount and/or how to change it to $160. Please help.
JotForm Support
It appears that the calculation values of the "Please select one" radio button is set to 60 for individual and 600 for foursome.
To change the value to 160, simply click the gear icon on the upper right side of the field and select Edit Properties. Then click on the Calculation Values field. Change the first value (60) to 160.
Once the calculation value has been changed, your golf fee should now display the correct value.
You can check out this cloned form where I changed the calculation values: https://form.jotform.com/60940993524967
If you need further assistance, please let us know.
that worked beautifully! thank you:-)I now need help on finishing the form by putting in Paypal...
When I selected Paypal as my payment option the only thing that appeared on the form was one line
I am not sure how this works?? I was expecting when I selected Paypal for Name and Paypal info to pop up? How do I complete the payment info and get paid thru Paypal?
Thank you again and again!
JotForm Support
I see that the original concern here has already been resolved. For the other question you have regarding Paypal, I have opened a separate thread for it. Please refer to this link instead: https://www.jotform.com/answers/811796. We will address it shortly. Thank you.

Comcast SportsNet Chicago will celebrate the Blackhawks' Stanley Cup championship with coverage of the team's victory parade and an encore of its Cup-clinching win today.
The regional sports network that is home to the club's games will present four live hours of the Chicago Blackhawks Stanley Cup Championship Parade & Rally, beginning at 9 a.m. (CT) on June 28. The coverage will be hosted by Pat Boyle, Mark Schanowski and David Kaplan live from the rally's central location at Hutchinson Field in downtown Chicago's Grant Park. Chris Boden, Chuck Garfien and Luke Stuckmeyer will provide viewers with live reports from parade's origination at the United Center, on the team busses, along the parade route and in Grant Park for the centerpiece celebration. CSN's coverage will also include aerial shots throughout the event, along with interviews with many of the rabid fans that will be attending the day's festivities.
In addition, the recently enhanced website, CSN Chicago.com will proffer a live video stream of the event. CSNChicago.com's "2013 Quest for the Cup" page (www.csnchicago.com/show/blackhawks-quest-cup) will serve as the on-demand outlet for all the Stanley Cup parade/rally activities featuring on-going highlight videos and photo galleries from the event. This digital section already includes more than 350 videos, including numerous game highlights and exclusive interviews, along with a look back at the playoff journey, round-by-round, with game recaps.
Comcast SportsNet will encore the parade/rally in its entirety at 11 p.m. on Friday night.
CSN also will replay NBC's telecast of Monday night's Stanley Cup Final Game 6 championship-clinching win over the Boston Bruins immediately following the rally at 1 p.m., which will lead into the network's live doubleheader White Sox vs. Cleveland Indians coverage beginning at 3:30 p.m.

I give SE a load of credit for this idea of allowing the players who have less time to play, to be level playing field with more hardcore player. However, like most people who are first to introduce something new and innovative, they are ridiculed and criticized for it. Not only because the general public isn't conditioned to the idea, but because the application and execution are immature and unrefined. There's almost no way to know what the end result will be so it cannot be planned for. So I suggest instead of becoming frustrated with the battle/armory system, accept that it isn't perfect and it is near impossible(at the very least) to release it as such. It will save energy and combat the negativity surrounding the game. So kudos to all of you who realize the potential behind this system, and are looking to improve it.
I'm not trying to excuse SE for the abysmal condition the game was released in. I'm trying to communicate the difficulties behind certain aspects of the XIV that deserve cultivation, not hatred.
More so concerning the title of this thread, I was wondering if anybody is thinking along the same lines I am for a better balance to horizontal/vertical progression. As it stands, 95% of any skill you get with any job every 2 or so ranks, you can use on every other class. I was thinking that all of the skills that we currently have could become class exclusive. While we could have more "monumental" or consequential abilities/skills for every job at universal intervals. What this mean is that every 15, 20, or 25 ranks per class, you would get an ability that that is much more dynamic and battle-changing than "regular" skills. These more intense abilities could be used on all jobs without restriction.
I feel this would give more individuality to classes while retaining the horizontal growth on a more balanced scale, and the basis for the armory system.
So do you think the current system is already adequately balanced and just needs some work? Or would you rather have a revision? And would suggestion be along the lines of what your looking for, or would you think it should be more or less extreme?

More Wikileaks emails have exposed Campaign Director John Podesta of shady dealings. Specifically, one email shows his reaction to learning the ethnicity of the San Bernandino shooter who killed many in the recent terrorist attack. Podesta sent an email to Karen Finney who was a Clinton campaign spokeswoman and he expressed a sadness that the shooters name sounded Muslim. Instead he indicated that he preferred that the shooter had a whiter sounding name.
Because after all, the first thing we think about after American lives were taken in a senseless tragedy is the shooters ethnicity and how that's bad for our campaign. Podesta was responding to Chris Hayes tweet with MSNBC. In the December 3rd email Podesta referred to Hayes and said,
"Better if a guy named Sayeed Farouk was reporting that a guy named Christopher Hayes was the shooter."
Apparently reality and real life tragedy makes life difficult for Clinton staffers. Because that is what is most important when adversity and sadness strikes. What is convenient for them. This is what is most disgusting about the left. They have an agenda. The truth does not matter. It's like the old saying, you want to enrage a conservative then lie to them but if you want to enrage a liberal then tell them the truth.
NBC News now reporting a US citizen named Sayeed Farouk believed to be one of the people involved in the shooting.
— Christopher Hayes (@chrislhayes) December 3, 2015
They want to try and allow the truth to get in the way of their agenda. And when something like the San Bernardino shooting happens it gets in the way of their agenda. For example, it makes it more difficult for them to encourage increasing the number of Muslim refugees coming into the United States. Which is part of their agenda and narrative. They give no care or mind to the senseless tragedy at hand all they care about is themselves. It is embarrassing and disgusting.

Top 10 Effective Home Cleaning Remedies You Can Use
Why buy an antibacterial spray cleaner in the market if you can make one in less than a minute? There are homemade remedies for your kitchen, your flooring in the bathroom and there are household cleaners, laundry detergent recipes and fabric conditioners that you can naturally do with typical items in your house. Good maid agency has some tips and tricks for you. Take a moment to read some of these tips in saving money just for cleaning materials.
1. Homemade Floor cleaner. If you want to remove soap traces and stains on your floor, add a few drops of white vinegar to your mopping bucket. Moreover, you can add a little baby oil to the mop water if your floor is linoleum or a vinyl tile, in this manner, it will soften any hard grime on the surface but do not add too much because it will make your floor too slippery.
2. Remove stains from a stainless steel. We cannot rest assure that a stainless steel cannot get stains or any marks. It is not quite immune to any rust because it may get weary for some time especially if it is not made from a quality material. To remove any rust marks, rub the area with a drop of lighter fluid and clean it with a non-abrasive scouring powder and water.
3. Homemade soap scrum remover. To remove any clogged materials in your sink, you can do this solution: Heat one cup of vinegar for about 2 minutes. Pour the vinegar in a bottle and add a baking soda. Mix a dishwashing liquid into the solution. Shake it gently and pour it into the clogged sink.
4. Grease-busting duo. There is an interesting chemistry between baking soda and vinegar. This duo is so powerful that it can easily flush out grease in the kitchen. Pour 1/2 cup of baking soda in a clogged drain and follow it with a 1/2 cup of white vinegar. Cover the drain for a few minutes and wait for a chemical reaction to happen which will basically dissolve the grease. Finally, flush the drain with warm water.
5. How to remove labels from bottles. Do you have any problem with removing labels from a glass bottle? Do you wonder how to remove it easily: Fill the sink with very hot water and also fill each bottle with hot water. Drop those bottles in the sink and add a 1/2 cup of baking powder, 1 tbsp of dish soap and 2 cups of white vinegar. It will get bubble for a second and the labels will come off.
6. Sterilizing the sink. The sink is one of the dirtiest place in the kitchen. Germs hang around in the sink because of leftover foods and other food particles that we forgot to clear. It is the common source of diarrhea and other intestinal diseases. You should always sterilize your sink with an alcohol, rub it down with a clean dishtowel or a paper towel to prevent germs from spreading.
7. Remove sticky marks on the mirror. Mix a solution of isopropyl alcohol and a little dishwashing liquid in a spray bottle. Then, spray the solution in the mirror and use a newspaper or any old paper to wipe the surface. It is better to use paper because it will not leave tiny fabrics on the mirror as you wipe it down.
8. Bleach painted walls. You can get away with this through mixing a solution of 4 liters of water and 1/2 cup of chlorine bleach to clear the smudge on you walls after frying or sauteing.
9. All purpose cleaner. Combine a 1 cup of rubbing alcohol, 1 cup of water, 1 tablespoon of white vinegar in a spray bottle. You can also add a small amount of fabric conditioner with a good scent. Spray this solution to the kitchen surface including tiles, and plasters, wipe off and you can eventually assure that germs are killed and evaporated in the air.
10. Homemade wood floor cleaner recipe. If you have a wooded floor, you can also combine equal mixture of water, white vinegar and isopropyl alcohol in a bottle. Add a few drops of dish soap and you voila, homemade wood floor cleaner.

Don't be so quick to overlook Big Oil's convenience storesBy Don Longo, Convenience Store News
It's tempting to dismiss Big Oil companies' retail operations as overlooked stepchildren to their more lucrative refining business when you read about how more and more of them are shifting from corporate-owned stores to dealer or franchise networks.
As our exclusive Convenience Store News Top 100 (page 39) points out, the percentage of corporately owned stores has declined in each of the past three years, from 55 percent in 2005 to 49 percent in 2006 and 48 percent this year. In total, the Top 100 c-store chains now operate 29,587 franchised or licensed stores, an increase from 27,880 last year.
It is generally believed that Shell Oil started this trend when it "dealerized" most of its store network. Soon other oil companies also wanted to get rid of the overhead, labor problems and operational headaches of their stores. Indeed, nine out of the top 10 operators of franchised or licensed stores are oil companies. Ninety-nine percent of Shell's 4,720 stores are franchised or licensed. ExxonMobil is at 83 percent franchised/licensed, BP at 79 percent, and Chevron at 90 percent. All 2,070 Citgo stores are franchised/licensed and 94 percent of ConocoPhillips.' And the trend is probably going to continue as long as refining and distributing motor fuels remains so profitable.
The major downside to giving up corporate ownership is losing control of the stores, which some observers fear leads to lax standards and inconsistencies in brand messaging, customer service, product mix and quality. However, one shouldn't assume these oil companies are not serious about the retail business. If anything, they seek the best of both worlds: the rich margins of the oil industry along with the distribution network, brand positioning and retail experience provided by the stores (without some of the headaches and overhead of the retail business).
Most of the Big Oil companies are aggressively expanding their c-store networks and testing new formats and programs to build their in-store business -- just like non-oil company-owned c-store chains. BP, which has 3,853 franchised/licensed stores, is launching am/pm franchises east of the Mississippi and spreading its BP Connect with Wild Bean Cafe nationally. Last month, I had the opportunity to visit BP's West Coast operations and was very impressed with its flagship am/pm store format.
Among other oil companies, ExxonMobil, with 3,870 franchised/licensed units, is putting a big push behind its On the Run franchise. Internationally, On the Run is an even stronger player than it is in the U.S. -- and it's a top-notch foodservice retailer in many countries. And, Chevron (3,595 franchised/dealer units) has been perfecting its Extra Mile concept on the West Coast, as previously reported by CSNews (see Checking In with Chevron, May 7, 2007), in preparation for a wider rollout.
So, you see, Big Oil is hardly getting out of the retail business. Our cover story (page 28) is proof of this. With 964 company-owned stores, Valero is probably more invested in the retail side than any other Big Oil company. Only 35 percent of Valero's units are operated by franchisees or licensed dealers. Like the others, Valero knows the bulk of its corporate income comes from refining and that is where the bulk of capital investment will go. But, the Texas-based company also knows that its retail division can be a meaningful contributor to the company's image, a successful and competitive leader in the c-store industry and a valuable contributor to the bottom line.

Editorial: Public must have all info on racino expansion
Saratoga Springs officials are holding a public hearing on Wednesday night to gather the public's views on the proposed expansion of the Saratoga Casino and Raceway, the racino.
But the hearing will be pointless if those people don't have all the information they need about the proposed expansion project and the city's role in evaluating it.
Some project opponents have accused the city of violating the state's open government laws by withholding certain documents regarding the project. They say these documents should be available to the public under a requirement that documents slated to be discussed at a public meeting must be disclosed beforehand.
But Deputy Mayor Joe Ogden said Monday the city disagrees that information has been withheld. He said it has made documents related to the racino expansion available to the public, either online or for viewing at City Hall.
Since all documents these days are prepared electronically or can be copied and turned into electronic documents, there's no reason that any public information the city has in its hands can't be posted online.
The citizens are also challenging the city's assertion that it cannot assume lead-agency status over the project. They cite a letter from the state Gaming Commission inviting the city to address its potential jurisdiction in the matter. The issue of jurisdiction is expected to come up at tonight's City Council meeting. The letter is now in a prominent place on the city's website.
Regardless of what the city's position ultimately ends up being on the racino expansion, it owes its citizens complete disclosure of all information related to it, including justification of its decisions.
The interests of the entire city are best served when all the cards are on the table.

The Feast of the Goat By Mario Vargas Llosa, Faber, £ 6.50
Midway in the novel, Rafael Trujillo, the dictator who had held ruthless sway over the Dominican Republic for thirty-one years, dies by assassins bullets on a deserted stretch of the highway. It is May 30, 1961, and the terrible Trujillo Era is not yet over. For Mario Vargas Llosa, too, the story carries on, because his historical novel depicts the many manifestations of corruption and brutality in civic and political life that accompany and follow a dictators rule. The Feast of the Goat belongs to the tradition of the Latin American dictator novel, which harks back to Miguel Angel Asturiass The President (1946), and comes down through Augusto Roa Bastoss I, the Supreme (1974), Alejo Carpentiers Reasons of State (1974) and Gabriel Garcia Márquezs The Autumn of the Patriarch (1975). It is of the tradition and yet different. The earlier novels create, in different ways, fantasies of power, through which real historical experiences are transformed into explorations of the human soul. Llosas technique is realistic, his assiduous handling of documented detail makes for sharp and credible profiling of even the imaginary characters.
The real dictator in Llosas novel, however, can easily be taken to represent his tribe; the story is a fictional reconstruction of what tyranny does to people, both the oppressors and the oppressed. In reply to a question about the obscureness of the subject, the author had said, If a book doesnt recognize any given situation as more human than strictly national, more universal than national, then its not literature. While Llosas novel contributes to the corpus of Latin American civic literature with its preoccupation with socio-political ideals, it may have had a more intimate genesis. Alberto Fujimori defeated Llosa in the 1990 elections in Peru and gradually inclined towards authoritarian rule. The Feast is a direct indictment of tyranny: the unambiguousness of technique and narrative direction, of the intertwined stories of fear, fascination and hatred, embody Llosas intellectual and political opposition to totalitarianism.
Llosas passionate political conviction gives the novel its pace and sense of doom. The end is known, yet the tension never flags, even in the long digressions into the pasts of once-loyal Trujillistas who are now waiting to kill the dictator. The hatred of totalitarian rule obscures those aspects of Llosas politics that some critics find problematic. Rather harshly labelled the Newt Gingrich of Peru, Llosa does gloss over, or does not seem to notice, the game that the United States of America continues to play with Trujillo, setting him up and helping to pull him down, and the novel does not leave any space to question whether the delayed vindication of the conspirators moral cause is undermined by the quiet arrival of American ships in the islands harbour.
But such is the storytellers craft that these discomforts are banished to the periphery of the readers consciousness. Three strands of narrative run through most of the novel, of which the frame story is purely imaginary. This device permits the oscillation between past and present, essential in evoking the total destruction wreaked by an era of tyranny. In the frame story, the daughter of a minister, disgraced by Trujillo in one of his frivolous tests of loyalty, returns to her hometown after more than thirty years and ends up recounting the reasons for her abandonment of her country and her now paralysed father. In a way, her Iphigenia-like experience symbolically represents the betrayal of humanity that sustains a tyrants regime. Yet this is the weakest strand in the novel, and Urania Cabral, the beautiful, self-exiled daughter of the republic, the least defined character in the whole tale.
There is no such problem with Trujillo, whose last day makes up another strand, or with the greedy, fawning, terrified, secretive loyalists who surround him. The dictators physical presence is as disorienting as his nation-building policies are ominous. His respect for his mother and unqualified admiration for the American Marines are mixed in with his rhetoric of selfless love for the country and sense of pitiful victimhood. His fanatical cleanliness and fury at the betrayal of his seventy-year-old body are set off by the bloodthirsty logic with which he rationalizes his stranglehold on the country. His personality finds its metaphysical extension in Johnny Abbes, head of military intelligence, master of disappearances and a craftsman of torture, with an army of thugs at his beck and call. Llosa gives us evil from across the table, demythicized and banal, but no less fascinating.
The fascination does not stem from Trujillos charisma alone, much of it is a creation of his collaborators. They are as much Llosas subjects as Trujillo himself. The complete moral surrender of learned, creative, astute men to corruption and fear, their willing complicity in the tyrants murderous games, make up the real story. Inevitably, from among the collaborators come the survivors, like Balaguer, who plays a delicate game after Trujillos death in order to take up the reins.
The third strand, describing the ordeal of the waiting conspirators, merges with the central one after Trujillo is killed. It is in the second part of the novel, which records the terrible outcome of a failed coup, that Llosa is at his best. The man who was supposed to seize power the moment Trujillo died is overcome by a paralysing lack of will: the dictators undying legacy to those closest to him. The details of the witch-hunt for conspirators and their kin and hideous details of torture after their capture, both overseen by Trujillos vengeful son, have far greater power and immediacy than the frame story of Uranias betrayal, apparently related so many years later. Her young nieces gentleness towards her at the end seems futile as closure, for what persists is the grim memory of complicity, defeat, indignity and death.

In this darkly comic French crime series wheelchair-bound police captain Fred Cain is quicker and more mobile than most able-bodied people. In his investigations, he spins circles around suspects and digs deep inside the darkest hidden corners of the human mind. A motorcycle accident caused by speeding and his own use of narcotics has left him unable to walk, but clear-eyed about criminality and motive. He's left the drugs behind but a dark sense of humor remains, and his disdain for bipeds can make him difficult to work with. He uses his disability to his advantage by breaking with convention and the law without an ounce of shame or trepidation. Only army veteran Lucie Delambre can handle him as a partner, and his friend and boss Jacques Moretti runs interference for him with the higher-ups. Set in Marseille, Caïn is a crime drama with a twist, a police procedural that focuses on psychology and the human being behind the criminal.

Panama Canal
December 9, 2010 by staff
Panama Canal, With federal deficits running high, Kasim Reed Atlanta mayor and business leaders to ramp up the pressure on the federal government Thursday to dredge the Port of Savannah to accommodate larger vessels should pass through the channel Panama.
State officials want to deepen the second largest port on the coast is six feet, giving him a depth of 48 feet at the time the Panama Canal expansion project completes its own. If the largest port in Georgia can not accommodate large ships moving through the channel, regional leaders are afraid to sail elsewhere.
The project is unusual alliances. Local Republican lawmakers have vowed to oppose affects – but not for the port. Reed, a Democrat, is seeking White House support for a project of nearly 250 miles from his hometown because he credits the support 300,000 jobs statewide.
"We do not have a greater possibility that possibility in my mind, which is about the deepening of the port, which is why I put all partisanship aside," Reed said. "He is that Georgia will be in 10 years, 20 years, in 30 years."
Home Depot CEO Frank Blake said his renovation business moves over a quarter of its shipment from the ports of Savannah and Brunswick. Larger ships moving through the Panama Canal can carry more goods at lower cost. But he noted that many cargo ships must now wait for high tide in shallow transit port of Savannah.
"When the Panama Canal is growing and you have larger ships, you make a bad situation while dramatically worse," said Blake. "And I would just say that neither we nor any company in the region can afford these ships pass us and go elsewhere."
Opposition to dredging project has been focused on environmental concerns. Environmentalists have said the project would transform the freshwater wetlands in salt water, in a critical habitat for destroying several endangered species or threatened species, including bald eagles, wood storks, manatees and shortnose sturgeon.
However, the project took a step forward last month when the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers has issued a draft that the acquisition of wetlands and take other protective measures could offset the environmental damage caused by the dredging.
Port officials began studying whether to dredge the harbor in 1996. The final decision on whether to allow dredging is not expected before the end of next year.
Now, Reed and other leaders are lobbying hard for federal funding needed for the project and 625 million. Senator Saxby Chambliss said recently that he supported a ban Republicans led by dedicated, but he reserved the right to ask for money for dredging.
Atlanta-based AJC International uses the port of Savannah to ship books 5000000-7000000 dark meat of chicken per week in 49 countries, including Russia, China and the Middle East and the Caribbean, "said Eric Joiner Vice-President of the company.
Joiner said he feared that asking a federal funding could be difficult after a recession has prompted legislators to promise spending cuts. He participated in the panel to talk to convince regional leaders that the port infrastructure is essential, not frivolous spending.
"There is not much money for everybody," said Joiner. "And everybody has good projects that everyone is there who want money. And I'm afraid people will think," Well, is it a spare? "

The emergence of the 'coastal steelworks' in the European Coal and Steel Community (ECSC), 1952-1967
The coal and steel production was key in the post-war rebuilding of the European economy. However, after WWII, Germany still had the technological knowledge and experience to quickly regain its pre-war position as the dominant economic force in Europe. In response to this 'problem', the political leaders of six Western European countries founded the European Coal and Steel Community or ECSC, which they hoped would provide a common legal framework for the coal and steel industry. When the ECSC was founded, all six founding countries of the ECSC produced steel and all but two also produced substantial quantities of coal. However, there were considerable differences in the 'regional concentration' of the coal and steel companies and before 1952 (the first year of the ECSC), a (relatively) small geographical area was responsible for more than 90 % of both the European coal and steel production. We have then looked at how the relative importance of this 'industrial triangle' in the total coal and steel production of the ECSC has decreased between 1952 and 1967 and we discuss the different causes of this decrease. More specifically, we show how the importance of the so-called 'coastal steelworks' has increased between 1952 and 1967.

LARAMIE, Wyo. -
The University of Wyoming wrestling program added one more piece to its new facility on Friday with the unveiling of the Joe Dowler Coaches' Locker Room. The former UW head coach and administrator was honored in a surprise ceremony with his being attached to the state-of-the-art room for the Wyoming coaching staff.
"It is so heartwarming to see Joe Dowler and his family so passionate about the University of Wyoming and our wrestling program," UW Director of Athletics Tom Burman said. "I tip my hat to everyone involved in this project because it is a great way to recognize the wonderful commitment that Joe has had to the wrestling program here at UW."
In his 14 seasons as head wrestling coach at Wyoming, Dowler led the Pokes to a 104-64-1 dual record while capturing four-straight Mountain Intercollegiate Wrestling Association (MIWA) team Championships, and three Western Athletic Conference team titles. Dowler coached 35 individual conference champions and two All-Americans with the Cowboys.
He was a three-time Western Athletic Conference Coach of the Year (1983, 85 and 86). In 1986 he was one of 12 nominees for the NCAA Wrestling Coach of the Year. Dowler was also voted the President of the National Wrestling Coaches Association.
Dowler was a staple in the amateur wrestling scene in the state of Wyoming. He introduced the High School Wrestling Cultural Exchange Program and was involved in initiating in the Junior World Wrestling program. Dowler also coached the first United States Junior World Championship team that toured Central Europe in 1967.
Dowler was an Associate Athletics Director at UW from 1987-2001. Following his retirement, he initiated and coordinated the "W" Club for all UW athletic letterwinners. He was inducted in the UW Athletics Hall of Fame in 2005.
"I think anytime there is a naming opportunity with this new facility there is something very special attached to it and nobody has been closer to this program than coach Dowler," UW head coach Mark Branch said. "Since he stepped away from coaching he has been very involved in the program and we always look forward to having him in the room every day. It is safe to say he has been the caretaker of this program for over 40 years and honoring him just feels right."
The Joe Dowler Coaches' Locker Room was made possible by an anonymous donor and gifts from the Dowler family.
