ELYRIA - On Nov. 3, Elyria voters will head to the polls to vote on Issue 10, a 0.5 percentage point permanent income tax increase - one that city officials say is imperative to keeping existing city services and restoring some of what has been cut.
Passage would mean the reinstatement of 10 laid-off firefighters would be reinstated, that no police officer positions will be cut, that a portion of the city's parks and recreation programs will be restored and that the Police Department would see a portion of its civilian support staff brought back to work.
However, if the tax fails, Mayor Bill Grace said additional firefighter positions - on top of the 16 that were already lost this year - will be cut, only those parks and recreation programs that can fund themselves will be offered and the Street Department will have less money to maintain roads.
But the most dramatic consequence would come in the Police Department. While the department has seen its jail staff and civilian force eliminated due to budget shortfalls, it has escaped cuts to the patrol force this year. However, if the tax fails, 10 to 15 police officers will be laid off next year.
We asked you, the readers, to send us the questions you had about the tax issue, and The Chronicle-Telegram asked Grace and City Auditor Ted Pileski to answer them.
Q: I've read that the mayor says that if the tax increase passes, there still might be layoffs. So, my question is, if this passes, what guarantee do we have that he's not going to lay off people like he did last time this issue came up?
Grace: The city's employment expectations, should Issue 10 pass, are based on revenue projections. During the course of this year, revenue has declined at varying rates from one month to the next. September's tax collections were 19 percent below September of last year. This was the single largest monthly decline this year. If revenue continues to decline at this rate, the city may very well be forced to lay off additional employees, even with the passage of Issue 10. As for 'last time this issue came up,' last year's tax measure was simply a renewal, not an increase. Circumstances last year did not account for the current national recession, the largest since the Great Depression.
Q: Why doesn't City Council put something on the books saying this is what the money is used for because the people of Elyria don't trust the mayor?
Grace: On Aug. 3, 2009, City Council passed Resolution 2009-11 addressing Issue 10 funding. The resolution states 80 percent of the revenue will fund existing services, 7.5 percent will fund additional street maintenance, 7.5 percent will fund Police Department services and 5 percent will fund Parks & Recreation programs.
Q: If Issue 10 is in response to the sudden and dramatic downturn in the economy, why is this proposed to be a permanent tax increase? Why not make it temporary?
Grace: Issue 10 is a 0.5 percent permanent city income tax. Over the next 4½ years, it will raise the city income tax rate from 1.75 percent to 2.25 percent, after which the current 0.5 percent temporary income tax will expire and the income tax rate will return to 1.75 percent. In order for the income tax rate to continue at 2.25 percent, it will require approval by Elyria voters within the next 4½ years. Should Elyria's economy fully recover, City Council and especially Elyria voters may choose not to renew the existing 0.5 percent temporary income tax or may perhaps replace it with a lower amount.
Q: Even if this tax increase is approved, it doesn't seem to fix all of Elyria's financial problems. What are specific near-term and long-range plans to control future spending and reduce costs?
Grace: For the past 10 years, the city has continually reduced expenses. This has largely been accomplished by cutting full-time employees from 530 in December 1999 to the current staff of 447. Recently, the city closed its jail to reduce expenses. This will present logistical challenges for the Police Department; however, it will still save the city money on an annual basis. In recent weeks, the city has consolidated fire operations by moving out of the Broad Street Station and moving administrative functions back into the Cedar Street station. Additionally, fire dispatch duties were turned over to the Lorain County 911 dispatch center. This move is improving response times as well as saving the city the expense of more than three firefighters.
Q: Is the mayor willing to take a pay cut if the issue passes?
Grace: Last year, the city auditor, city law director, mayor and City Council members received no pay increase. This year, the law director and auditor have been donating back to the city a portion of their wages, and the mayor has been donating to the Cascade and Elyria Parks Endowment Fund the equivalent of 10 percent of his wages. The mayor has also been donating back to the city one-third of his car allowance. Additionally, employees that work for the mayor, law director, auditor and clerk of council have voluntarily accepted furloughs this year that amount to a 10 percent pay cut.
Q: Will the mayor stop trying to flip houses for a profit if the tax increase passes?
Grace: In an attempt to help rejuvenate a neighborhood and to act as a catalyst, three years ago the city purchased a home with the intention of bringing it up to code and making it an owner-occupied dwelling in the neighborhood. The additional goal was to recuperate the money invested and continue the program. Due to the depressed housing market, the city was unable to recoup its entire investment. It was still a relative success in that it did help to improve the overall value of the houses on the street. It is very unlikely that the city will make a similar attempt any time soon. It should be noted however, that a federal program began this year that provided the city of Elyria approximately $2.5 million to do just what we attempted to accomplish. In fact, the federal regulations all but require the city to sell the rehabilitated home for a price below market.
Q: I have been told by an Elyria fireman that they would not vote for the increase because of the way the city spends money. How can we vote for something that doesn't even have the support of everybody the increase is supposed to save?
Grace: Issue 10 is about Elyria - its present and its future. Regardless of where people work, not everyone is happy with their boss or their employer. We, as residents of this community, should not allow a handful of disgruntled employees compromise the well-being and future of our community.
Q: What is the precise wording on the ballot (designating how money is to be used)?
Grace: "Shall Ordinance No. 2009-178, providing for an additional municipal income tax of one half of one percent (1/2 of 1%) to provide additional funds for operations in the City of Elyria, Ohio, effective January 1, 2010, be adopted."
Q: How much could be saved by closing Parks and Recreation (including the ice rink)?
Grace: Over the course of this year, programs within the Parks and Recreation Department have either been reduced or fees have been increased in an effort to provide only programs that pay for themselves. This has largely been accomplished this year. Going into next year, with very little exception, programs will only be offered that will pay for themselves. As for the ice rink, this program pays for itself.
Q: What steps are being made with city unions to make concessions?
Grace: There have been many hours of discussions over the past several months with various city unions asking that they make concessions. Several unions offered, and City Council accepted, that for next year they receive no pay increase. Concessions beyond no pay increases have been discussed, particularly changes to longevity, and they have all agreed to discuss options over the next year.
Q: How many layoffs will take place in administration before police are laid off?
Grace: The Safety Service Department that is an extension of the mayor's office has, over the last 10 years, reduced its workforce by 25 percent, from eight employees to six employees. Over these 10 years, their responsibilities have increased and their work is done with fewer people. The same can be said for the Auditor's Department that has reduced its staff by a similar amount.
Q: I understand longevity pay for the unions. I don't understand why elected official receive it. Do we save the city money by not voting in incumbents?
Grace: City Council recently passed an ordinance that discontinues longevity pay increases for existing full-time elected officials and eliminates this pay for newly elected city officials.
Q: Why are some salaries taken out of the water fund? I thought the increase in rates was for improvements, not salaries.
Grace: The water and sewer funds are used for operating expenses as well as capital improvement and maintenance projects. Some of these projects are contracted out to private companies who successfully bid to do the work. Some projects and maintenance is provided by city employees. Due to layoffs this year, the city has been unable to use part-time workers that it has previously relied upon. Some employees that were laid off in general fund departments were rehired to work in these special fund departments to do work that is required to properly maintain these departments.
Q: How much stimulus money has the city gone after? Any received? Used for what?
Grace: This city applied for approximately $75 million worth of projects that ranged from roads, sewers, water lines, waste treatment and water treatment improvement projects. The city was awarded approximately $3 million for road improvements to state Route 57, East River Street and Gateway Boulevard. The city received approximately $100,000 for the Police Department and has applied for more money that is still being considered. Soon the city will be applying for money to fund the rehiring of laid-off firefighters. The city was also awarded approximately $500,000 for energy conservation improvement projects that should arrive some time next year.
Q: Why won't the city follow the recommendation to sell the fire truck that has never used to help curb the pending layoffs? The truck is worth more than 10 percent of the assumed increase in revenue next year should the tax pass.
Pileski: The city issued $1 million in short-term general obligation bond anticipation notes to purchase the truck in question. If the city were to sell the truck, we would be required by law to use the proceeds from the sale to retire the outstanding debt on the truck. The proceeds could only be used for operations if the truck were already paid off.
Q: How much annual revenue is generated by the current 1.75 percent income tax?
Pileski: In 2008, the current 1.75 percent income tax generated $21,038,997.23. Of that amount, $17,973,231.71 was receipted in the general fund and $3,065,765.52 was receipted in the police levy fund.
Q: What percentage of the current budget is funded by income tax revenue? What funding makes up the rest?
Pileski: The general fund budget is currently at $30,800,779. The funding sources and respective percentages of the budget are as follows:
Income tax revenue: 56.14%
Property tax revenue: 4.96%
Other state and local tax revenue: 11.58%
Intergovernmental grants: 0.81%
Charges for services: 6.79%
Fees, licenses and permits: 2.12%
Debt proceeds: 4.87%
Fines and forfeitures: 1.56%
Interest income: 0.26%
Special assessments: 0.05%
Miscellaneous: 1.36%
Reimbursements: 3.40%
Cash carried over from 2008: 6.10%
Q: For the city government, what are the sum totals for base pay, overtime bonus pay and longevity pay?
Pileski: The total gross payroll for the city of Elyria in 2008 was $32,095,488.78. The funds where payroll is charged are the General Fund, Street Construction M&R Fund, State Health Grant Fund, Block Grant Fund, CHIP Grant Fund, Muni Court Technology Fund, Muni Court Security Fund, Special Traffic Magistrate Fund, Food Service Operations Fund, Dental Health Grant Fund, Swimming Pool Inspection Fund, Police Levy Fund, Water Fund, Special Parks & Recreation Fund, Sanitation Fund, Wastewater Pollution Control Fund, Workers' Compensation Fund, Wagner Trust Fund, Findley Trust Fund and the Cemetery Maintenance & Improvement Fund.
Q: Many residents work in another city with a 2 percent tax and, therefore, will receive a credit for the first 2 percent of the total 2.25 percent Elyria income tax. How much of the $5.6 million generated by the tax increase will come from the first .25 percent and how much will come from the second .25 percent?
Pileski: This is probably the hardest question to answer out of all that were submitted. If you were to break down the proposed .5 percent income tax increase into two .25 percent increases, the second of the two, which would bring the total tax rate to 2.25 percent, would generate more because those residents that work in a 2 percent city would be required to pay the difference of .25 percent (2.25 percent minus 2 percent) to Elyria. Thus, the city would be bringing in more taxpayers resulting in more tax revenue. How much more is hard to determine, but I will consult with the Regional Income Tax Agency to see if an estimate can be determined.

Motorola Milestone has more pricier parts than Nexus One
However, if you compare the costs here in the UK, the Milestone is about £400 while the Nexus comes out at around £343 including shipping costs and VAT. Pretty interesting !
Motorola's Milestone and Google's Nexus One are both Android 2.0 smartphones, but a Bill of Materials (BoM) breakdown has revealed that the Googlephone costs less to make. Motorola Milestone Motorola's Milestone: more expensive parts than the Nexus One The Milestone – reviewed here and called Droid in North America – has a …
However, if you compare the costs here in the UK, the Milestone is about £400 while the Nexus comes out at around £343 including shipping costs and VAT. Pretty interesting !
I'm surprised by the bill of materials. Neither device is especially expensive so why the heck are they so ludicrously expensive to buy? The Motorola Milestone is 4-5x the price of the parts.
I can understand cash strapped Motorola jacking up the price, but surely Google want to stick their device into as many people's hands as possible? It's not like they'd be selling themselves short either since they could still lower the price, and still make a healthy profit.
The production and overhead costs are probably at least 2x the cost of hardware. And then the companies are expected to make a profit as well...
The Nexus One does not have the same screen as the Motorola Milestone -- the Milestone has an 854x480 pixel trans-reflective LCD screen, whereas the Nexus One has an 800x480 pixel active-matrix organic LED screen. It's not really surprising that this newer technology is more expensive.
Secondly, in response to Michael's comment, the Nexus One (if you remove the unnecessary mains charger) is $558.65 shipped to the UK, which is (at the current exchange rate) £341.85 before VAT, (possible) import duty and handling fee.
Unless you are lucky enough to be overlooked by customs, the expected total price for a Nexus One today is £341.85 + £59.82 VAT + DHL handling fee, bringing the total price to approximately £400. It is also unclear currently as to whether the Nexus One attracts duty or not (mobile phones do not, but devices with GPS do, at 6%). This could increase the final price to approximately £425.
As time goes on, better components cost less.
The superior hardware of the Droid/Milestone cost less than those of the iThing 3GS.
And the Nexus One, which is better than the Droid, costs less than the Droid's parts.
Expect next year's superphone to cost less to build than this year's.

Narendra Nagareddy is being questioned after his office in Jonesorbo, Georgia, was raided by agents from the Drug Enforcement Agency.
It is alleged 12 of his former patients died from overdoses as a result of taking prescription medicine.
Clayton County Police Chief Mike Register told WSB-TV Channel 2 News that the doctor had been overprescribing opiates and a type of tranquiliser.
Among those who died while being treated by the psychiatrist was 29-year-old mother of two Audrey Austin, her mother told Channel 2.
She died in February 2014 after taking an overdose of a prescription medicine just two days after visiting Nagareddy, Ruth Carr said.
A warrant has been issued charging Nagareddy with unlawful prescribing/ordering and focuses on prescriptions to Austin.
He is accused of violating Georgia's Controlled Substance Act, according to Fox Carolina.
Clayton County District Attorney's office said: "The search warrant (alleges) 36 of his patients have died, 12 of whom were autopsied with cause of death being overdose on prescription medication."
The doctor denies the charges against him, according to his attorney and Police Chief Register.
Nagareddy has been licensed to practise since 1999 and he is certified with the American Board of Psychiatry and Neurology.
Fox Carolina's investigations found that he has faced no disciplinary action, no criminal convictions, no medical malpractice suits and no medical settlements against him, according to the State Board of Medical Examiners.

Wikileaks Cables Show Nobody Knows What's Going On With North Korea
The Obama Administration rejected emergency multiparty talks with North Korea after the Yeonpyeong artillery bombing, using that old chestnut about "rewarding bad behavior." China called for the talks, but the US sees no need to negotiate without a pre-negotiation, not only on the incident at Yeonpyeong but the nuclear weapons issue. The South Koreans and the Japanese have also rejected the talks, and military exercises in the Yellow Sea, with US participation, continue, though without live-fire drills.
Against this backdrop, we have the revelations in the Wikileaks cables of… sorry, no revelations in the cables about North Korea. In fact, nobody seems to know what's going on there.
This trove of cables ends in February, just before North Korea began a series of military actions that has thrown some of Asia's most prosperous countries into crisis. A month after the lunch, the North is believed to have launched a torpedo attack on the Cheonan, a South Korean warship, that killed 46 sailors.
Three weeks ago it revealed the existence of a uranium enrichment plant, potentially giving it a new pathway to make nuclear bomb material. And last week it shelled a South Korean island, killing two civilians and two marines and injuring many more.
None of that was predicted in the dozens of State Department cables about North Korea obtained by WikiLeaks, and in fact even China, the North's closest ally, has often been startlingly wrong, the cables show. But the documents help explain why some South Korean and American officials suspect that the military outbursts may be the last snarls of a dying dictatorship.
Basically, the cables consist of educated guessing about how the succession of Kim Jong-il would play out. Nobody really has a clue about whether North Korea is on the verge of disintegration or a strong nuclear power with unassailable rulers. Nobody knows much about the presumes successor, Kim Jong-un. Nobody understands the extent of their nuclear program, not even the Chinese. The cables align with significant events in Pyongyang, like nuclear tests and uranium enrichment, and the assessments are almost always wrong. About all we can get out of this is that Kim Jong-il is "quite a good drinker." Everything else, including Kim's role in a revaluation of North Korean currency, which destroyed personal savings, is speculative.
There couldn't be a harder job in diplomacy than figuring out the state of play in North Korea. China's so frazzled about it that they're ready to give up and support reunification. But if the US thinks that Wikileaks revealed confidential secrets, that doesn't look to be true in the case of the DPRK. It looks more like it revealed the bumbling of the international community when it comes to the secluded country.
In fact, we learned more today about North Korea than in years' worth of cables.
Secretive North Korea detailed for the first time its expanded nuclear program on Tuesday, saying it had thousands of working centrifuges, as pressure built on China to rein in its ally amid tensions on the peninsula […]
"Currently construction of a light-water reactor is in progress actively and a modern uranium enrichment plant equipped with several thousands of centrifuges, to secure the supply of fuels, is operating," the Rodong Sinmun newspaper reported.
"Nuclear energy development projects will become more active for peaceful purpose in the future," added the paper, according the state news agency KCNA.
You don't need cables to figure this out. The North Koreans are using artillery attacks and centrifuge revelations to raise awareness internationally and secure a better deal. They act like a child who wants their parents to let them know they want to leave the mall. This is all tied up with the imminent succession, putting Kim Jong-un in a stronger position. They've been at this racket for years, stoking tensions and activating confrontations to get notice.

Lose Weight Fast With Pure Garcinia Cambogia 1500mg
Ae there any garcinia cambogia side effects? Yes, they are not so severe, and you should always consult your doctor before use.
Maintaining commitment to a weight loss strategy is a challenge for many. In beginning stages, it is very easy to be completely motivated to meeting our initial weight loss goals. At some point, though, your energy drops, and you are not motivated to continue. It does not happen to everyone, though. People can get the weight loss they want, and keep it off. How do they manage to accomplish that?
Start by finding out and writing down your weight loss goals. Decide if you are trying to build muscle or just lose weight. Are you interested in losing a certain amount of weight? Maybe you just want to be stronger and have more stamina.
Monitor and record your weight loss at weekly intervals. Write your weight in a journal so you can keep track of it. Don't forget to log your food consumption in the same diary. Hold yourself accountable,and write down each thing that you eat. The act of writing things down may well diminish your desire for excess food.
If you don't nip hunger in the bud, you're far more likely to make bad food choices as your hunger takes over. To avoid being faced with the dilemma of making bad food choices, make sure to pack healthy and nutritious foods when you leave the house. It is much wiser to take your lunch to work or school, rather than eating out. Bringing your own lunch will help you resist cravings and give you better control over the calories you eat. Save your waistline and your wallet when you bring your own lunch.
Eating right and keeping up to your regular exercise regimen is the best way to lose weight. Try to exercise 3 or 4 times a week, but be sure to allow a few days a week for your body to rest. Make sure to avoid letting your workout routine get stale by constantly mixing things up and adding new exercises. If you are a fan of dancing, taking a class is a great way to workout while still having fun.
Almost everyone knows it, but few do it. Throw away all the unhealthy snacks and junk food from your home! You will not be able to go grab those unhealthy foods if they are not there. Instead of junk food, fill your refrigerator with healthy food, such as fruits and vegetables. Try to remove negative options from your life: you can't eat what you don't have.
Look to your friends for help. They are happy to help you! Why else would they have volunteered? If you ensure that you are surrounded by supportive people who are a positive influence, you will be able to succeed much easier. Your support system is there to give you the advice and encouragement you need to proceed toward your goal. If things aren't going well, reach out to your friends for support.

Just phoned with a query about slanting wheels from use over the years and very knowledgeable lady is sending us free bits to fix the problem, as well as a new brake. With the new colourful base I'm buying my littlest daughter will end up with a completely revamped scooter. In this day and age it is SO refreshing that something really is fixable and recyclable. Excellent customer service and a really great product. Thank you!

Apr 11
Last night, while channel surfing, we happened upon the remake of Charlie and the Chocolate Factory (Roald Dahl) starring Johnny Depp. Charlie just found the last of the 5 Golden Tickets and was now able to claim his ultimate boyhood dream, visiting Willy Wonka's chocolate factory. The family was overjoyed at the find! In the next scene, Charlie became serious and announced that, due to their extreme poverty, he intended to sell the ticket in exchange for money to help support the family. Grandpa spoke up with great wisdom and said to Charlie: " There's plenty of money out there. They print more every day. But this ticket, there's only five of them in the whole world, and that's all there's ever going to be. Only a dummy would give this up for something as common as money. Are you a dummy?" Charlie recognized the grandfather's wisdom and said "YES!" to claiming his lifelong dream.
In that brief moment, Paul (my husband) and I both "got it"! The questions before us: Are we willing to embrace our Golden Ticket? Are we willing to Come-to-the-Edge-Today and claim it? (Wow.)
What is YOUR Golden Ticket? What is your Passion living deep within your heart and soul? What is your dream that refuses to be silent? What is it that you know you must experience in this lifetime? Take some time to re-member or discover what this is – your heart will remind you if you forgot.
Here's the fabulous news: YOUR Golden Ticket (the opportunity of experiencing your ultimate dream) awaits you and is being offered to you NOW! God/Source has it already prepared with your name on it. All you need to do is claim it and be willing to go on the journey to get it.
Is something stopping you from claiming it? Perhaps it is fear, or the reality of 'what is'. Maybe it's 'practicality' or listening to other's opinions about your life. Could it be you don't like to stray out of your comfort zone? Here's a huge stopper: Holding false beliefs such as 'I am not worthy', 'it can't be that easy', 'I must pay my dues', 'I am not ready', on and on…
Listen to Grandpa's wisdom: There will always be practicalities and illusions of coulda/shoulda. You are holding the ticket in your hand!! Do you feel its sweetness in your hand? (Yes, I'm talking to you, dear reader! Do you feel the sweetness of the Ticket in your hand?) Today is the day to declare "Enough! I am claiming MY Golden Ticket! I do not know how it will unfold, but I am claiming my dream – my Golden Ticket, NOW!"
Today's "leaping" exercise: What is the passion you always carry with you? Claim your Golden Ticket by clearly declaring it to yourself and to God/Source. Verbalize it. Write it and post it everywhere. Embrace it. Be open to inspired action, then act! Be persistent in claiming it each day! Remember, you ARE worthy of experiencing it – Now.
Now you're at "The Edge"! – Joan Kappes

Google Profiles OTRD's Digital Marketing Success
By Oklahoma Tourism Staff
OKLAHOMA CITY – Google Inc. has released the results of a month-long digital marketing case study in conjunction with the Oklahoma Tourism and Recreation Department. TravelOK.com, Oklahoma's official state tourism website, used Google's YouTube TrueView advertisements in conjunction with the department's traditional 2013 spring media campaign entitled "Come See for Yourself."
"The Oklahoma Tourism and Recreation Department is focused on financial expediency and advertising effectiveness," said Cabinet Secretary & OTRD Executive Director Deby Snodgrass. "TrueView was an excellent way to achieve both objectives. The results far exceeded our expectations. Undoubtedly, TrueView will remain part of our media mix going forward."
The goals of the study were to evaluate TrueView's opportunity to drive economic impact for Oklahoma, identify the optimal advertising media mix and increase website visitation and pages viewed per visitor. OTRD allocated a portion of its annual media campaign budget to incorporate YouTube TrueView advertisements in select markets.
TrueView catapulted TravelOK.com into the number one spot among state tourism department websites based on visitation during the month the campaign was live. The ranking put Oklahoma ahead of several states like Hawaii, whose annual travel promotion budget is $83 million – eight times what Oklahoma spends on all advertising and promotion each year.
"TruView is a marketing tool that enables Oklahoma tourism promotion to show travelers who were previously beyond our reach, the state's authentic wonders, natural beauty and cultural diversity," said Travel Promotion Director Dick Dutton. "The project was resounding success and will have a major impact on our planning as we move forward into the expanding digital age."
Full results highlighting the success of the program are available at TravelOK.com/industry.

Catching up with the cheats
Athletics received bad press in the past week but at least it is taking the fight to the dopers, writes John O'Brien
When the barrage of positive tests started flowing – the much-loved American sprinter Tyson Gay first, a slew of Jamaican athletes just a few hours later – Brian Murphy wasn't torn about how to feel. For the sport he loves passionately, Murphy was in no doubt that this was a wonderful day. 'Testing is working,' the Irish 400m runner tweeted. 'Protectionism is gone, cheats will be scared. I only see the upside in this.'
Not everyone shared his optimism. Others were "shocked" and "appalled" that so many sprinters would resort to underhand methods to keep up with the best. On Thursday, Shelly-Ann Fraser-Pryce and Carmelita Jeter, the reigning Olympic 100m gold and silver medal holders, walked out of a press conference in Monaco when reporters had the audacity to ask questions about doping. "I just wanna run, laugh and have fun," Jeter said. "Too much negativity going on."
So what do they expect? With Gay and Powell added to the list of shame, the statistics now show that just under 40 per cent of the 10 fastest male sprinters each year since 1999 have been associated with drugs at some point in their career. Half of the 2012 Olympic final line-up now have asterisks beside their names. If the others fall at some point, as happened in the wake of Seoul in 1988, will anyone be truly shocked or appalled?
That growing numbers of cheats are being nabbed is beyond question. Sixteen Jamaican athletes have been found guilty of doping violations in the past five years. The news last week that five Russian athletes had also tested positive brought to 49 the number of Russian athletes currently on the black list due to doping offences. Whether that is due to more efficient policing or down to the fact that cheating is simply more widespread is an open question.
Either way, as Murphy suggests, there is always a reason to celebrate when big doping stories are broken. Gay's positive test for an unidentified substance wasn't the disaster for athletics it was purported to be. It merely served to show that those who vehemently proclaim their purity, hungrily embracing anti-doping campaigns, are, in essence, no more believable than those who remain stringently silent. If anything, their hypocrisy is arguably worse than the crime of doping itself.
Gay made people believe, though. He signed up to Wada's My Victory campaign and endorsed the wholesomeness of clean running at every available opportunity, a role model people could put their trust in. Even his times seemed believable. Once – between 2005 and 2006 – he improved his PB by a massive 0.22 seconds but otherwise his career was devoid of the huge leaps that cast huge shadows over others. People liked Tyson Gay and believed he could topple Usain Bolt. Clean.
That illusion was shattered last week, Gay's only redemption coming from his insistence that he would accept his fate "like a man". So no flimsy excuses, no beer-fuelled orgy, no sinister presence tampering with his tube of toothpaste. The novelty value alone was compelling. "I'm going to be honest with USADA [the US anti-doping agency] about everything," Gay said, "everybody I've been with, every supplement I've ever taken, every company I've ever dealt with, everything."
By being as good as his word, Gay could do his sport a service he could never have managed in his adidas spikes. Because the reality is that, for all the cheats exposed last week, random dope-testing on its own will never be that effective as a deterrent. What anti-doping authorities need most are informants, those on the inside willing to expose wrongdoing, thus enabling either federal agents to be called in or target testing to be conducted.
It is how the two biggest doping stories of recent times surfaced. In the Balco scandal in 2003, Victor Conte was betrayed by his one-time colleague, Trevor Graham, and in the crossfire that ensued, Conte exacted revenge by passing on information against Graham and a number of athletes he coached, including Justin Gatlin. Operation Puerto kicked into gear when a cyclist, Jesus Manzano, gave an interview to a Spanish newspaper that lifted the lid on the dubious activities of Eufemiano Fuentes, a well-known Spanish doctor.
To some, taking the word of proven cheaters is a morally questionable activity, but it is also useful and, arguably, necessary too. When Conte says, for example, that he doesn't believe it possible for athletes to run 100m significantly under 10 seconds without chemical assistance, why shouldn't we trust him?
Brian Murphy likes to point to the 2003 World Championships, around the time of the Balco scandal, when the cheats, presumably, were lying low. The result? Gold for Kim Collins in 10.07, the slowest winning time in 20 years.
Conte has always remained suspicious of the performances emanating from Jamaica. In Beijing, he watched Fraser-Pryce sprint to the 100m gold medal and wondered where she had come from. A year before the 2008 Olympics, Fraser-Pryce's personal best was 11.31. Now here she was sprinting to gold in a time of 10.78, a scarcely credible leap in sprinting terms. Conte simply could not believe what he was seeing.
Conte had what he regarded as a useful point of reference. A few years earlier, he had coached the American sprinter Kelli White and once improved her best time from 11.19 to 10.85. And that, he said, was after White had been placed on a "very sophisticated drug regime". Conte had achieved some notable results with the likes of Marion Jones and Tim Montgomery but the Jamaicans, as far as he was concerned, were on another level entirely.
Whatever substance attaches to Conte's suspicions, it was undeniably a bad week for the image of Jamaican athletics. It isn't just the positive tests returned by Powell and four other athletes. It is the suggestion that the Jamaican federation sanctioned just one out-of-competition test in the lead-up to London last year. It is the failure too of Jamaican athletics authorities to give details of their anti-doping programme. Wherever there is a lack of transparency, suspicion moves in to fill the void.
With each guilty athlete, of course, it becomes more difficult for aggrieved Jamaicans to play their traditional jealousy card, that such suspicions are a by-product of American anger at their sprinters having to play second fiddle. When Veronica Campbell-Brown failed a test last month, it could be partially excused on the basis she was a US-based athlete, a former training partner of Tyson Gay, in fact. Ditto when Steve Mullings was handed a lifetime ban in 2011.
But now it is five of their home-based athletes under the microscope and, with grim inevitability, the finger of suspicion wags ever more vigorously in the direction of Bolt. This is harsh but unavoidable. With Bolt's former training partner, Yohan Blake, and now Gay having succumbed to the doping virus, that necessarily makes the world record holder an even greater "genetic freak" than his defenders make him out to be.
None of this constitutes a disaster for athletics, though. If anything, it shows it is at least facing up to complex and deep-rooted problems. Unlike other sports.
Last year Bolt's camp had to fend off rumours that the athlete was working with Angel 'Memo' Heredia, a former colleague of Conte at Balco. In an interview last year, Conte said Heredia had worked with the Jamaican team at the 2009 World Championships in Berlin, although there is no evidence to substantiate this claim.
Where Heredia did surface, however, now calling himself Hernandez, it was as coach of Juan Manuel Marquez who, at the age of 40, summoned the necessary explosive power to knock the great Manny Pacquaio unconscious in the ring in Las Vegas last December.
In the light of what we know of other sports, athletics needs feel no particular shame. Last month USADA released figures detailing the testing procedures of various sports in the first quarter of the year and the results were truly shocking. While athletics emerged top with 496 tests, 392 out of competition, other sports like tennis, a miserly 19 tests, lagged seriously behind. Embarrassingly, curling with 35 tests beat soccer (five) and pro boxing (26) combined.
The real scandal, of course, is paying lip service or doing nothing. And that, at least, cannot be laid at athletics' door. A bunch of cheats were exposed last week, and yet we are to believe that the sport's credibility suffers as a result. That's not how it should work, though. Every cheat unmasked means we can believe just that tiny bit more. As Brian Murphy suggested, it was, on the contrary, a good week for the sport.

Even if it does go to court and you don't have logs, the judge should be able to see the bullshit since if you were splitting the utilities you'd owe her $75 dollars every month and she didn't ask for this for over ten months? (assuming $700 owed) you'd think after 10 months she would say something .
I doubt notarizing them will do much good. You still could've just made them up.print them out and get them notarized somewhere. If you have a bank account, they will more than likely notarize it for free.
this is mostly to mark the date so she can't just say "oh he probably just made those up a week ago" if she ever takes you to court.
But yeah, definitely better than nothing.

I am fortunate to have a friend who is a master at serving food to large groups of people. She always helps me with the meal for Teacher Appreciation Week. This year, we did Navajo Tacos. This is a fried scone (Utah style...I think often called "elephant ears" in different parts) with meat, cheese, lettuce, tomatoes, sour cream...whatever you might put on a taco. We bought all of the ingredients for 130 at Sams.
We had room moms and volunteers bring a dessert. People love bringing desserts. Most people can easily throw something together. Teachers loved the variety of sweet treats. We also had a variety of drinks.
We finished the meal off with each teacher getting a gift card--teachers love gift cards!

Bullying in schools has been around since schools were created and is a phenomenon of human behavior that is sadly familiar even as administrators, teachers and parents strive to eliminate it. The advent of social media has brought with it a new form of bullying, commonly referred to as cyberbullying. The Center for Disease Control (CDC) calls it "electronic aggression" . Whatever cyberbullying is called, it is proving to be insidious, damaging and can result in irrevocable tragedies, which is why schools are scrambling to find solutions.
Cyberbullying statisticsIncidents of cyberbullying have increased because the use of social networking sites by children and teens is virtually universal. Pew Research Center has done an extensive national study that includes cyberbullying statistics. It covered 2007-2010 and shows how popular social media is among 12-17 year-olds, and also how widespread cyberbullying has become:
Cyberbullying Facts
Cyberbullying Fact #1: Cyberbullying causes deep and lasting damage
When incidents of bullying are online, the exposure of victims is limitless and thus far more damaging. According to psychologists, the damage inflicted by cyberbullying can last into adulthood causing lifelong issues with low self-esteem, risk for addiction and other problems
Solution: iPrism Social Media security gives you visibility on online interactions of students and the power to mitigate cyberbullying problems before they escalate
Cyberbullying Fact #2: Cyberbullying has resulted in teen suicide
Stories of teen suicide are becoming all too common. Many of these incidents are the result of unchecked cyberbullying attacks on vulnerable students.
Solution: iPrism Social Media Security enables schools to monitor online interactions and detect risks for self-harm among students, so an intervention can occur.
Cyberbullying Fact #3: Cyberbullying can Result in Lawsuits for Schools
Since every state except Montana has laws against bullying on the books, some cases of cyberbullying have resulted in costly lawsuits against schools and school districts.
Solution: iPrism Social Media Security helps your school enforce cyberbullying legislation and reduces the risk of lawsuits.
We are very concerned about social media use at our school and our need to comply with the new CIPA rules. Virtually all of our students are using social networking in one way or another and it's something we would like to be able to manage rather than just block completely."

Recipes To Try!
August 23, 2010
I love cooking and baking, and am always looking for new cookbooks and recipes. Anytime I bring a cookbook back to the library I'm asked, "Did you find a new recipe?," "Try anything new?", "Need us to taste test anything?" Food days are greatly enjoyed here at the Smithville Branch, as well as exchanging recipes. Here are a few staff favorites, and maybe a personal favorite or two.
Enchilada Chicken Soup
1 can (11 ounces) condensed fiesta nacho cheese soup, undiluted
1 can (10 3/4 ounces) condensed cream of chicken soup, undiluted
2 2/3 cups whole milk
1 can (10 ounces) chunk white chicken, drained
1 can (10 ounces) enchilada sauce (I use red)
1 can (4 ounes) chopped green chilies
Sour cream
Tortilla chips
In a large saucepan, combine the soups, milk, chicken, enchilada sauce, and chilies. Cook until heated through. Serve with sour cream and tortilla chips.
Yield: 7 Servings
Cinnamon Rolls
1 package frozen Rhodes cinnamon rolls
1 cup vanilla ice cream
1 stick butter
1/2 cup brown sugar
1/2 cup white sugar
Bring the ice cream, butter, and sugars to a boil. Spray 9x13 inch pan with nonstick spray. Lay frozen rolls in pan, and pour cooled sugar mixture over them. Place in a cold refrigerator overnight. (Do this late at night, and cook them early in the morning.)
In the morning, heat oven to 325 degrees, and bake for 30 to 40 minutes. Top with icing that comes with frozen rolls.
Your co-workers will love you if you bring these to work in the morning!
Oreo Bon-Bons
1 8 ounce package cream cheese, softened
1 package oreos, any flavor (I like using mint)
1 package chocolate almond bark
Blend cream cheese and oreos together. (I blend the oreos in a food processor, and then mix together in the mixer.) Shape into balls, and put onto cookie sheets covered in wax paper. After they are shaped, refrigerate them until they set up a bit. Melt the almond bark. Dip the balls in the almond bark, and refrigerate again.
Salted Nut Bars
Mix together:
1 yellow cake mix
1 egg
1/2 cup melted butter
Press into bottom of 9x13 inch greased pan. Bake 12 minutes at 350 degrees. Remove from oven, and sprinkle with 3 cups miniature mashmallows. Put back in oven for 1 to 2 minutes. Remove and set aside.
In a saucepan, heat:
2/3 cups light Karo syrup
2 teaspoons vanilla extract
1/4 butter
1 12-ounce package peanut butter chips
Heat until chips and butter are melted.
Stir in:
2 cups salted peanuts
2 cups rice krispies
Spread over the top of the marshmallows. Place in refrigerator to set, then leave at room temperature, and cut into bars.
Apple Crisp
Peel and slice 3 cups apples in a 9"x9" pan. (I like to use a pie plate.) Sprinkle cinnamon over the apples.
Mix in a bowl:
1/2 cup sugar
1 Tbsp flour
1/4 tsp salt
Mix in a separate bowl:
3/4 cup oatmeal
3/4 cup flour
3/4 cup brown sugar
1/4 tsp baking soda
1/4 tsp baking powder
1/2 cup melted butter
Put the oatmeal mixture on top of the apples. Bake in a 350 degree oven for about 40 minutes. Cool on a cooling rack for a little while. You can serve it with ice cream, or just cold with a spoon!

Trial adjourned again
For the second time this week, the trial of 12 men accused of murdering central businesswoman Vindra Naipaul-Coolman was delayed because of lengthy legal arguments. Her widower, Rennie Coolman, was present at the Port-of-Spain High Court for yesterday's hearing though he spent most of the morning sitting outside the courtroom as he waited for defence attorneys to continue cross-examining him. However, by midday Coolman and the 12-member jury and six alternates hearing the trial, were informed they had to return to court this morning as lawyers had just completed their legal submissions over a series of controversial questions which they were seeking to ask Coolman.
Before adjourning the case, High Court judge Malcolm Holdip informed Coolman and the jurors he would give his ruling on the issue during the next hearing, after which the defence attorneys would be allowed to resume questioning Coolman. He began his testimony in the high profile trial last week but it was cut short after prosecutors objected when defence lawyer Kwesi Bekoe began asking him about an incident in which he was extorted by a woman, pretending to be a State attorney, who requested money for him to avoid being prosecuted in relation to his wife's kidnapping and murder. Prosecutors and defence attorneys immediately began legal submission on the objection during that hearing and were scheduled to finish on Monday. However, on the date of the deadline, the matter had to be adjourned as they had not yet been completed.
Coolman is the sixth witness to be called by prosecutors since the trial began in late March. His stepdaughter, Risha Ali, and former live-in housekeeper Rasheedan Yacoob, who were also at the family's Lange Park, home on December 19, 2006 when Naipaul-Coolman was kidnapped also have given evidence. The other witnesses are police photographer PC Brenton Mack who took pictures of the crime scene and two police officers assigned to the Chaguanas Police Station, who responded to the report of the businesswoman's kidnapping.
Who's in court
The dozen men before the jury and Justice Malcolm Holdip are: Allan "Scanny" Martin, twin brothers Shervon and Devon Peters, siblings Keida and Jamille Garcia and their older brother Anthony Dwayne Gloster, brothers Marlon and Earl Trimmingham, Ronald Armstrong, Antonio Charles, Joel Fraser and Lyndon James. A 13th man, Raphael Williams, was charged with the crime but died in prison in 2011 of complications from sickle-cell anaemia.
Legal team
Their legal team includes Ulric Skerritt, Joseph Pantor, Selwyn Mohammed, Lennox Sankersingh, Ian Brooks, Wayne Sturge, Mario Merritt, Richard Valere, Kwesi Bekoe, Colin Selvon, Vince Charles, Christian Chandler, Delicia Helwig and Alexia Romero. The prosecution team includes Senior Counsel Israel Khan, Gilbert Peterson and Dana Seetahal, who are being assisted by senior state prosecutors Joy Balkaran and Kelly Thompson.

PATIENTS across Wales are being given the opportunity to rate accessing their GP in a National Survey launched by the Community Health Council.
The survey asks how easy it was to obtain an urgent appointment to booking yourself in for a routine appointment with your GP. It also asks patients to indicate how long they waited to be seen once they had an appointment.
Interim CHC Board director Cathy O'Sullivan said: "The launch of this survey is very timely following the recent announcement by Professor Mark Drakeford Minister for Health & Social Services of the reduction of the administrative burden for GPs in their new contract for Wales. It is essential that we ask patients for their experiences of getting urgent appointments with their GP to monitor the impact on patients following the changes in the GP contract."
Community Health Councils (CHCs) across Wales have concerns about GP appointment systems and timely access for patients given that approximately 90 per cent of contacts with the NHS happen in Primary Care.
The survey will run for two months and anyone who has to see their GP is urged to complete the online survey.
The survey can be found by accessing www.communityhealthcoucils.org.uk

Most Original Easter Basket Ever!
I got a phone call from my friend Felicia a little over a week ago, asking if I'd mind if she made my daughter an Easter basket. I told her that I didn't mind. I'd never really been big on that kind of stuff, but I wasn't going to deprive Felicia of her own happiness. She finds joy in buying/making things for my daughter, and I LOVE it because she always adds her own little spice.
Yesterday, she delivered my daughter's basket, and it has ALL KINDS OF STUFF IN IT!!!! It has candy, jewelry, books, costume pieces (princess stuff), etc. But the funniest thing of all is the fact that she put little sandals on the bunny! And the sandals are actually cute! I lifted the foot to see if I could tell what size they are, but I couldn't.
I can't wait to see my daughter open her gift. She always has the biggest smile of appreciation. I may not have followed the proper order in conceiving her, but I really am blessed to have a sweet child in addition to wonderful, giving friends.

PORTLAND, Ore. — The Bonneville Power Administration wants to raise wholesale power rates 9.6 percent to make up for lower surplus power sales due to competition from power plants running on low-cost natural gas.
The federal agency said Thursday it needs the money for maintenance and upgrades for the dams and nuclear power plant that produce its power.
BPA also wants a 13 percent increase in fees it charges utilities to move power on 15,000 miles of transmission lines.
Spokesman Mike Hansen said the amount that consumers see on their electric bills will be less, because not all that increase gets passed through by utilities.
The agency adjusts its rates every two years. Following a review by the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission, new rates will go into effect Oct. 1 2013.

To Our Divided Leaders:
We the undersigned, are EXTREMELY OUTRAGED at how you have allowed profiteering to destroy our economy, and our environment, and our relationships with other countries. You made business deals that have grown tentacles into every function of our society, which have failed, and now you are unsure of WHERE to apply any resolutions.
As you have commandeered 700 billion dollars, with the probability of more lurking every day, and are attempting YOUR solution. We are submitting this petition to tell you what we want in return for OUR MONEY.
OUR SOLUTION is in solving POLLUTION. This is a way of life that you have been avoiding, splitting hairs, and out right burying for over 30 years.
With the City of Malmo, Sweden as a beacon... WE hereby DEMAND, ECONOMY/ECOLOGY BONDS!!!
The money from these bonds are to be LOANED to businesses to create the GREEN COLLAR JOBS. Priority placed on 1 and 2, which can employ large amounts of people at once.
Once you have completed these tasks we will be in touch to give you more assignments. (I've read some comments, I think some of you missed this caveat)
I switched the letter with the info let's see if that is better
The goal of this petition is to require the Treasury to issue BONDS specifically for the purpose of solving pollution. They shall be called "Economy/Ecology Bonds"
The bonds are expected to perform the same rescue that "war" bonds performed after the depression. In addition they will provide funds to begin projects to lead us towards ZERO WASTE.
These endeavors are expected to create jobs called "GREEN COLLAR JOBS"
The most important features are the deadlines. The bonds need to be sold to us within the next presidents first ten days of office.
If you want to BUY these BONDS, We need every person in the country to sign this petition, and then I have to mail it to EACH member of CONGRESS.
The other important feature is that ground should break on these new "factories" by April 15 2009
I can't do this alone. YOU have got to ask your friends to take a look at this petition. If you can contact your representatives, even if you just speak to their receptionists, leave a message with the URL, please do so. I will try to add the phone numbers as I have time.
PLEASE CLICK and READ the "LETTER" below. It will be addressed to the legislators.

2. Clean Energy Victory Bonds
How are we going to pay for this green energy revolution? Green America and our allies at Clean Edge propose Clean Energy Victory Bonds. Modeled after victory bonds in World War II, Americans would buy these bonds from the federal government to invest in large-scale deployment of green energy projects, with particular emphasis in low-income communities that are hardest hit by the broken economy. These would be long-term bonds, which would pay an annual interest rate, based in part on the energy and energy savings that the bonds generate. During WWII, Americans bought over $185 billion in bonds%u2014that would be almost $2 trillion in today%u2019s dollars.
Millions of people are looking for a way to help the country right now. During the townhall- style presidential debate, one person posed this question to the then-candidates: "What would you ask us to do?"
Green America%u2019s answer: Invest in Clean Energy Victory Bonds so our country can start building the clean-energy infrastructure and get people to work in good, green jobs, right now.
Sign up for the Green America e-newsletter to help advance these and our other green energy policy measures all year long.

The ideology of privatization and hostility to 'big government' is no longer tenable during the financial crisis -- the current White House and Congress conceded as much when they began pushing for bailouts.

Morning Edition, October 17, 2008 %uFFFD California sold $5 billion in short-term bonds this week. That's cash state officials need to pay the bills until they collect tax revenues in the spring. Standard & Poor's analysts had put the deal on credit watch because of the freeze in credit markets.
Morning Edition, October 14, 2008 %uFFFD Officials in California begin selling billions of dollars worth of bonds Tuesday. The state held off until now because of turmoil in credit markets. But officials say other states have managed to sell bonds, and they are gambling that the money is out there to cover at least part of the state's needs.

Diverging Results in the Transition Countries
The Central and East European economies closed the year well behind 1995, with an average GDP growth of 3.5 percent. High investment helped to maintain high GDP growth in Poland and Slovakia. The banking crisis in Bulgaria resulted in strong GDP decline and very high inflation. Russia and Ukraine achieved remarkable success in disinflation, at the cost of further GDP decline. Moderate disinflation continues in all of the more advanced CEE economies, although the low budget deficits and recent restrictive monetary policies have not brought about the rapid disinflation authorities had hoped for. Real appreciation of the domestic currencies, as well as rising competition, seem to have been important in the continuing reduction of inflation rates. In Croatia and FYR Macedonia, deflationary tendencies previously at work now seem to have been overcome. Current account deficits have been growing in Poland, Slovakia and the Czech Republic. In 1996, none of these countries had a problem achieving the necessary inflow of capital needed to compensate. Forces underlying recent performance will continue to be at work in 1997 and 1998. GDP growth in more advanced CEE countries will continue to be moderate, and lower still in the less advanced economies. Assuming only marginal improvement in the West European business climate, there will be little opportunity to boost exports. The advanced CEE countries will probably try to prevent excessive increases in imports through additional devaluation's, but short of the drastic restrictions on domestic consumption and investment that seem likely in Romania and Bulgaria. The Czech Republic is fighting foreign trade imbalances by newly introduced import deposits and slowing down wage increases, without however devaluating the national currency. In Slovakia, import levels could be cooled by slowing down the pace of government investments in infrastructure. Hungary and Slovenia will be less likely to need restrictions. In both Russia and Ukraine maintaining relatively stable prices will undoubtedly remain a priority. Economic stabilization is at least a possibility in these two countries.
