The Coppell mayor found dead in July had shot her 19-year-old daughter in the back of the head and then waited as long as a day before killing herself, according to documents released by police Thursday.
Coppell police said they were unable to determine why 55-year-old Jayne Peters killed herself and her daughter, Corinne. But they believe she was still mourning her husband, who died of cancer in 2008, and was in serious financial trouble.
"We can't pin down a motive. Only she will ever know," city spokeswoman Sharon Logan said.
Police released documents from their completed investigation Thursday after an open records request from The Associated Press.
The bodies of the mayor and her daughter were found by police at their home after Jayne Peters did not show up to a July 13 City Council meeting.
According to police, Corinne Peters was seen for the last time on July 12 around 6 a.m. loading items into her car. About 30 minutes later, the mayor was seen unloading the items, police said. Police said that sometime in that 30-minute period, Jayne Peters shot her daughter in the laundry room.
They said it was hard to establish the exact time of death for the mayor but that she killed herself late that evening or in the early morning hours of July 13. She had taken a pillow, blanket and book about coping with suicide into the upstairs bathroom where she killed herself. Photos of her husband and daughter were inserted in the book.
At some point after killing her daughter, police say Jayne Peters placed a pillow and four stuffed animals outside the laundry room.
The police documents and crime scene photographs show Peters tried to get her affairs in order and make the grisly discovery easy on the authorities who came to her home. She left an envelope taped to the front door addressed to "First Responders" that contained a house key and an apology "for what you're about to discover."
She left several notes for investigators. One identified a computer and cellular phone as "City Blackberry and Computer." Another contained instructions on how to take care of the family pets; one requested there be no funeral or memorial services.
A typed note found in the kitchen read: "My sweet, sweet Corinne had grown completely inconsolable. She had learned to hide her feelings from her friends. But the two of us were lost, alone and afraid. Corinne just kept on asking, 'Why won't God let me die?' We hadn't slept at all and neither one of us could stop crying when we were together."
Jayne Peters was last seen around 12:30 p.m. on July 12 walking along a busy street after returning a rental car.
Peters, a contract software developer who had served on the City Council for a decade before being elected mayor in 2009, appeared to the outside world to be a well-to-do career woman who devoted much of her time to being an efficient mayor and mother.
That image was shattered after her death when it was revealed she was in deep financial distress and was under suspicion of using her city credit card for personal expenses. Her daughter had told friends she was headed to the University of Texas, but the school has since said the young woman never even applied.
Logan said the city attorney determined after Jayne Peters' death that she had charged about $6,350 in personal expenses to her city credit card.
Coppell is an affluent city of about 40,000.

I have become used to an approach where I will not worry about databases/persistence when beginning. I will create an interface to a database layer (e.g., save(object), retrieve(id), findByName(name)) etc., and an implementation that uses in memory collections to begin with. Later I will replace this with database calls. This also helps in my current project as we support multiple databases. If findByName requires different SQL on different databases it's easy to have a different implementation used at run time. How does this type of approach work in Haskell? or what is the Haskell way to achieve this? Levi

[MLS CUP PLAYOFFS: New York-D.C. United] MLS Commissioner Don Garber issued a statement, apologizing to fans impacted by
the league's decision to postpone the second leg of the New York-D.C. United Eastern Conference semifinal series. Unexpectedly heavy storm forced the postponement for the game to which 700 D.C.
supporters had traveled from the Washington area. For Garber's statement ...
To: MLS Fans
I want to apologize to all of our fans who were impacted by our decision last night to postpone the New York Red Bulls v D.C. United playoff game at Red Bull Arena. Many of you made great sacrifices to attend the game and we let you down.
Based on the weather forecasts earlier in the day, we believed that we could still play the game. As you know, soccer is played in inclement weather and we have cancelled very few games in the history of the League. In this case, however, we underestimated the severity of the storm and its effect on our ability to play, and ultimately the enormous impact it had on our fans who traveled to and from Red Bull Arena.
I have heard from many of you about our decision to wait until after the scheduled start time to postpone the game and I know that many of our fans believe that we should have made the decision earlier in the day or even the day before. In retrospect, I wish we had. Although I believe that our intent in trying to preserve the ability to play the match was well meaning, in the end we would have better served our clubs and our fans by making the decision earlier.
I can't change what happened, but I can acknowledge when we make mistakes, even if we were well intentioned.
All of us at Major League Soccer have worked hard to earn your trust and support. You can count on us to continue to work tirelessly to retain it as we build the League.
Thank you,
Don Garber, MLS Commissioner

O'Mara: Region must 'stand out' in competition for state economic development resources
Elmira, N.Y., July 27—Following Governor Andrew Cuomo's unveiling earlier today of the Southern Tier Regional Economic Development Council, State Senator Tom O'Mara (R-C, Big Flats) expressed confidence that a region-wide team of business, community and economic development leaders will help the Southern Tier and Finger Lakes regions succeed in this new state-level competition for economic development resources.
Cuomo and key members of his administration have been on a statewide tour this week to announce the members of 10 regional economic development councils created by the governor and the Legislature as part of the 2011-2012 state budget. The new councils are aimed at putting in place a more locally based approach for distributing upwards of $1 billion in state economic development aid. They will guide the development of local economic development strategies that will compete for state assistance.
Most of the counties in O'Mara's 53rd Senate District – Chemung, Schuyler, Steuben and Tompkins – fall under the Southern Tier Regional Council, which Cuomo unveiled today at Binghamton University. The Southern Tier council will be chaired by Cornell University President David Skorton and Thomas Tranter, President of Corning Enterprises.
Yates County, the remaining county in O'Mara's district, falls under the Finger Lakes Regional Council announced yesterday in Rochester by the governor.
O'Mara expressed confidence that the region's leaders will be successful.
"One of our strongest assets has always been a first-class corps of economic development experts who year in and year out have consistently done outstanding work to help Chemung, Steuben, and other area counties join the fierce competition for jobs and other economic opportunities. But the economic climate has never been tougher and now we have to raise the bar even higher to help our region stand out in this new state-level competition to build a better business climate. I'm confident we will," said O'Mara, who's serving his first term in the Senate.
He said that he'll be joining local business, community and economic development officials to help suggest plans and strategies to strengthen the region's economic competitiveness.
"We'll all be working closely together to do anything and everything possible to ensure that our region stands out in this competition for the state resources that can help create jobs and other economic opportunities for our employers, and our region's workers and their families," said O'Mara.
O'Mara reminded local leaders that the following new state website's been launched as part of the effort: Open for Business. The site includes a Regional Council Guidebook providing more detailed information on the overall effort for local officials and business leaders, as well as a place to submit suggestions online.

Gdansk is the venue for the UEFA EURO 2012 Group C match between Spain and the Republic of Ireland, with the teams having not played since a 2002 FIFA World Cup round of 16 tie decided by penalties. Ireland are looking to bounce back from a 3-1 defeat by Croatia in their first Group C fixture, while Spain opened with a 1-1 draw against Italy having rescued a point with Cesc Fàbregas' 64th-minute goal.
Head-to-head record
• Spain's 24 meetings with Ireland have ended W13 D7 L4. In competitive fixtures, that record reads W8 D4 L2.
• Spain have yet to lose in six UEFA European Championship fixtures against Ireland – all of them qualifiers – with their record in those games reading W4 D2 L0. This will be the sides' first meeting at a EURO finals.
• Their most recent contest was at the 2002 World Cup finals, with Spain beating Ireland 3-2 on penalties after a 1-1 round of 16 draw.
• Spain first met a side from the Irish Free State – the predecessor of the Republic of Ireland – in a friendly at Barcelona's Estadi Olímpic de Montjuïc on 26 April 1931 which ended 1-1.
• Spain beat Ireland 6-0 in a friendly game in Madrid on 1 June 1952 – that matched their heaviest international loss until they were defeated 7-0 by Brazil in another exhibition fixture on 27 May 1982.
• The sides' first competitive ties were in the 1964 UEFA European Championship quarter-finals; Spain won the two-legged tie 7-1 on aggregate en route to winning the four-team final tournament on home soil.
• Ireland's first competitive win against Spain came in qualifying for the 1966 World Cup; they beat them 1-0 in Dublin on 5 May 1965 but lost 4-1 in Seville on 27 October the same year. With the only other side in Group 9 – Syria – withdrawing, the section was settled by a third encounter, on neutral territory in Paris, which Spain won 1-0.
• Their paths crossed again during Spain's run to the 1984 UEFA European Championship final against France. Meeting in qualifying, they drew 3-3 in Dublin before Spain won the return 2-0 through goals from Santillana (49) and Hipólito Rincón (89).
• In 1990 World Cup qualifying, the sides swapped home victories (2-0 to Spain in Seville, 1-0 to Ireland in Dublin) as both went on to reach the finals in Italy.
• They also met en route to the next edition of the World Cup, a goalless draw in Seville preceding a 3-1 away win for Spain in Dublin. Again, both teams progressed to the United States finals.
Selected previous meeting
16 June 2002: Spain 1-1 Republic of Ireland (aet, Spain win 3-2 on penalties) (Morientes 8; Robbie Keane 90pen) – Suwon World Cup Stadium, Suwon, FIFA World Cup round of 16
Spain: Casillas, Juanfran, Helguera, Puyol, Hierro, Baraja, De Pedro (Mendieta 66), Valeron, Luís Enrique, Raúl González (Luque 80), Morientes (Albelda 72).
Republic of Ireland: Given, Finnan, Harte (Connolly 82) Staunton (Cunningham 50), Breen, G Kelly (Quinn 55), Holland, Duff, Kilbane, Kinsella, Robbie Keane.
• José Antonio Camacho's Spain got the better of Mick McCarthy's Ireland, Iker Casillas saving Ian Harte's spot kick in normal time and then denying David Connolly and Kevin Kilbane in the shoot-out.
Form guide
• The draw with Italy ended Spain's run of 14 straight competitive victories since they surprisingly lost 1-0 to Switzerland in their opening game of the 2010 FIFA World Cup finals.
• The reigning world and European champions, Spain have not missed a major finals tournament since the 1992 UEFA European Championship. Ireland's last finals campaign was ended by Spain, at the 2002 World Cup.
• The Irish are competing in a UEFA European Championship final tournament for the first time since making their debut in the 1988 event. In West Germany, they beat England 1-0 in their opening fixture, but missed the cut for the semi-finals, drawing against the Soviet Union then losing to the Netherlands.
Team ties
• Ireland's Robbie Keane played alongside Spain's Pepe Reina, Álvaro Arbeloa and Xabi Alonso at Liverpool FC during the 2008/09 season.
• Gerard Piqué counted John O'Shea and Darron Gibson among his team-mates during a four-year spell at Manchester United FC (2004-2008).
• Alonso spent a summer in Ireland as a 16-year-old, studying English as an exchange student in Kells, County Meath. While in Ireland he tried his hand at Gaelic football, and also credited the kickabouts with local players with opening his eyes to the more physical style of football played in the British Isles.
• Shay Given's Newcastle United FC beat FC Barcelona 3-2 at St James's Park in the UEFA Champions League on 17 September 1997, when Sergio Busquets' father, Carles, was reserve keeper for the Catalan club.
• When the clubs met in the second group stage of the 2002/03 competition Given's Newcastle, led by former Barcelona coach Sir Bobby Robson, lost 3-1 at the Camp Nou on 11 December 2002 to a team featuring Xavi Hernández. They also went down 2-0 at home on 19 March 2003, Given facing Víctor Valdés and Andrés Iniesta on Tyneside.
• During the 1999/2000 UEFA Champions League group stage, Giovanni Trapattoni's ACF Fiorentina side was beaten 4-2 at Camp Nou by a Barça side which featured Xavi Hernández as a second-half substitute. Xavi also appeared in the return leg in Florence, a 3-3 draw.
• Fernando Torres scored past Given in the 90th minute of Chelsea's 4-2 win at Aston Villa FC on 31 March, Juan Mata also featuring. David Silva's Manchester City FC beat Villa, featuring Given and Richard Dunne, 4-1 and 1-0 in the 2011/12 Premier League.

Competition format
• If two or more teams finish level on points, Articles 8.07 and 8.08 of the UEFA EURO 2012 regulations apply. In May Article 8.07 was amended after being approved by the UEFA Executive Committee. It now reads:

a) Higher number of points obtained in the matches played between the teams in question;
b) Superior goal difference resulting from the matches played between the teams in question;
c) Higher number of goals scored in the matches played between the teams in question;
d) If, after having applied criteria a) to c), two teams still have an equal ranking, criteria a) to c) are reapplied exclusively to the matches between the two teams in question to determine the final rankings of the two teams. If this procedure does not lead to a decision, criteria e) to i) apply in the order given;
e) superior goal difference in all group matches;
f) higher number of goals scored in all group matches;
g) position in the UEFA national team coefficient ranking system (see annex I, paragraph 1.2.2);
h) fair play conduct of the teams (final tournament);
i) drawing of lots
• The Group C coefficients are as follows:
Spain 43.116
Italy 34.357
Croatia 33.003
Republic of Ireland 28.576
• Article 8.08 reads: if two teams which have the same number of points, the same number of goals scored and conceded play their last group match against each other and are still equal at the end of that match, the ranking of the two teams in question is determined by kicks from the penalty mark provided no other teams within the group have the same number of points on completion of all group matches. Should more than two teams have the same number of points, the criteria listed under paragraph 8.07 apply.

After visiting several book festivals, author Corey Washington created his own vision of what a book festival should be.
For one thing, he said, authors shouldn't have to pay to be there.
His first experience with the festivals was in Houston, Texas. He wanted to get exposure to his first book, Plain Talk, which was released in 2009.
"They charged so much money for an author just to get a table," he said. "Then you have to factor in travel, hotel stay and all of that. By the time you finish paying for everything, you would have to sell a ridiculous amount of books to break even."
Guests paid admission to attend, which Washington said was money they could have spent on books.
Then he wondered why Augusta authors should have to travel to sell their books when there was enough talent here to support a local festival.
So with the help of Sherryl James, the outreach librarian for the Augusta-Richmond County Public Library, he created one.
Last year's inaugural Augusta Literary Festival drew 50 authors and about 4,000 guests, Washington said. This year, 100 authors have signed up to participate.
He said more probably could have been added, but space limitations required a cap to be set at 100.
On March 2, authors will set up displays throughout the first floor of the main library on Telfair Street. It will coincide with the beginning of National Reading Month.
Seventeen authors are scheduled to speak about their books and answer questions.
An award was created this year in honor of the late Frank Yerby, the native Augustan and an award-winning novelist.
Dr. Eugene Stovall, who has written a book about Yerby, will speak about the author's works. The Yerby Award will be presented at an author's reception on March 1.
Washington said authors from at least 12 other states will also attend the festival, some of whom are published by major publishing houses such as Simon & Schuster. Authors will not have to pay a registration fee to set up a booth.
"That's kind of what we wanted for the authors – they didn't have to pay overhead for the tables or anything. All profits went to them. Whatever they sold, nobody asked for a cut of it," he said.
Washington will have copies of his newest book, Nobody Cages Me, for sale.
In it, he examines the music of Jimi Hendrix and the disconnect between the black guitarist and the black community.
The Augusta Literary Festival will open at 10 a.m. and is free to attend. For more information, visit www.augustaliteraryfestival.com.

ANKARA, Turkey, Sept. 20 (UPI) -- An explosion in Ankara, Turkey, Tuesday killed at least three people and injured 15 others, Interior Minister Idris Naim Sahin said.
Sahin said the blast likely was "a terrorist attack," Today's Zaman reported.
Another Turkish government official said earlier no one died in the explosion.
Turkish President Abdullah Gul, in Germany on an official visit, also called the explosion a terrorist attack, Today's Zaman said.
"There are fatalities. I would like to first deliver my condolences to them," Gul said. "I condemn the attack with hatred."
Deputy Prime Minister Bulent Arinc also said preliminary findings point to a bomb attack, noting, "there is information that a bomb was planted" on the vehicle that exploded in front of the Cankaya District Governor's Office and an elementary school, and near a government building.
The New York Times reported Sahin as saying the blast and subsequent fire started in a car with a liquefied petroleum fuel tank.
Security officials blocked the area while bomb squads searched parked cars and buildings where the blast took place. Officials said several cars and buildings were damaged.
Police haven't ruled out the possibility the explosion may have been carried out by the outlawed Kurdistan Workers' Party, the Times reported.
Elsewhere, police said they acted on a tip and found a bomb on the Siirt Kurtalan Express train after it was stopped at Kirikkale train station in Kirikkale province, Today's Zaman reported. Bomb disposal squads defused the device.
Eight passengers were detained in the incident, officials said.

Mead made speedily
Lost Cause Meadery noteworthy for reduced fermentation period
Ian Anderson 4 p.m., Nov. 19
Last year, the California Board of Accountancy withdrew the license of the former El Cajon-based accounting firm, Calderon Jaham & Osborn. (Sorry to be so late reporting this, but I just learned of it.) The firm had been auditor of the City of San Diego in 2001 and 2002. The Securities and Exchange Commission charged it with making false and misleading statements in connection with City bond offerings that raised $261 million. Also, the accounting firm had said that audits for 2001 and 2002 were in accordance with generally accepted procedures, when they were not, charged the SEC. The Calderon firm also made materially false and misleading statements about the City's pension and healthcare obligations. The firm reached a consent decree with the SEC in late 2007, promising not to break securities laws. In 2003, the firm was bought by Costa Mesa's Caporicci & Larson, which briefly had the City auditing contract. Caporicci, in turn, has been merged into Los Angeles-based Stonefield & Josephson.
At the same time the Calderon firm surrendered its license last year, Thomas J. Saiz (pronounced Size), who headed the firm, was suspended for 30 days and ordered to take 80 hours of continuing education. He then started his own accountancy in La Mesa, but I have not been able to locate him.
Great post Don!
I wonder if this Company had E & O (Errors & Omissions) insurance; if they did then that Company would be financially responsible for their "GOOF UP$...
Just think, getting "caught giving bad info to a entire City and then only getting "Bitch $lapped" with a penalty of "suspended for 30 days and ordered to take 80 hours of continuing education"...
It's no wonder that our Districts, our City, our County, Our State and Our Country are all financially in hot water...
I'm ashamed, that I have not been not more vigilant; how about YOU?!
Maybe we now need Financial Marines to guard our Countries assets!
I would have to agree that a 30 day suspension as punishment for violating SEC rules appears to be a bit light.
Response to post #1: Of course, city officials at the time tried to blame everything on the accounting firm. That didn't wash. But the city officials got cited in documents outlining what happened, and some got indicted, but none really got punished for their role in the pension-related lies that investors were told. Best, Don Bauder
Response to post #2: Yes, Saiz went back into the business, so I assume he completed the courses and his suspension. I haven't been able to find him, however. Best, Don Bauder
Continuing with #1 "I wonder if this Company had E & O (Errors & Omissions) insurance; if they did then that Company would be financially responsible for their "GOOF UP$..."
Any chance that the City might have a case against Calderon Jaham & Osborn or Saiz's E & O insurer?
Response to post #5: If so, that's a question that should have been posed eight years ago. Best, Don Bauder
who signed off on the order to hire these turkeys ?
any financial connection there?
Reply #6 If all this happened "eight years ago", why is he "just" getting his license back?
who signed off on the order to hire these turkeys ?
Of course there was a connection related to hiring a tiny little outfit like this-and it was documented in the UT althouhg I do not remember the details of it. A MAJOR accounting firm should have been doing the books (although Arthur Anderson proved big firms can cook the books too).
I am confident 100% of gov emplpoyment/contracting of services, especially at the higher paying/comp levels, are mainly based on politics.
Response to post #7: At the time the firm was chosen, some in local government wanted to keep one of the major accounting firms. But the Calderon firm had given a lot of money to councilmembers, and also it was an Hispanic-owned firm. Of course, I don't know that one of the major firms would have been any better. Look what they have hidden for top clients such as Enron. Best, Don Bauder
Response to post #8: I don't know when he got his license back. It may have been as soon as he completed the required education courses. Best, Don Bauder
Response to post #9: It wasn't just the former Arthur Andersen cooking the books for big clients. All of the majors (now down to a handful) have dirty hands for their misdeeds. Best, Don Bauder
Calderon was also the auditing firm contracted by the San Diego Housing Commission which, at the time, was funded by federal, state and CDBG programs. There's another can of worms that's yet to be opened.
Response to post #13: I vaguely remember something about that from several years ago. You're right: the can should be opened, even belatedly. Best, Don Bauder

How To Find A Vet On The Road
- Apr 1, 1998
- Topics:
Q. We are in the midst of planning our summer vacation. We also are planning to take our horses on this trip so that we can do some trail riding. However, we do have a concern. What if one of our horses becomes ill or injures himself on the trip? What is the best way to find a veterinarian when we are away from home with our horses?
A. You say you are planning your summer vacation. You have hit upon the key to answering your own question. No matter if you are going on vacation with your horse or trailering your horse to a show or competition, the first and foremost thing that you can do to find a veterinarian when you are away from your local practitioner is plan ahead. Have a conversation with your veterinarian. Let him or her know where you are going. Your veterinarian might know someone in that location you can contact in the event of an emergency. The key is networking. By attending continuing education programs offered by the American Association of Equine Practitioners and other institutions, your veterinarian might be familiar with someone in that area, or at least know someone who knows someone who is a good equine practitioner.
Second, interacting with fellow horse owners is a good way to find information. Ask them if they have traveled to your planned destination and if they had to find a veterinarian away from home. Their experiences can be a great asset to you. Word of mouth is an excellent resource for information about equine practitioners.
A third way to find a veterinarian who specializes in equine practice is through the American Association of Equine Practitioners. The AAEP, in conjunction with the Bayer Corporation, has developed a national locator service for participating AAEP veterinarians. The sole objective of this program is to help horse owners locate participating AAEP member equine veterinarians anywhere in the United States and Canada. All you have to do is to dial 1-800-GET-A-DVM (1/800/438-2386). When a horse owner calls this number, an operator will ask for the caller's location or zip code. Then from a computer, the operator pulls up that area and finds the name, address, and phone number of the AAEP veterinarians who have agreed to participate. The operator will generate a personalized letter to the caller listing the veterinarian chosen by the horse owner. This service also sends a letter to the AAEP veterinarian whose name was provided to the caller along with the caller's name, address, and phone number. Knowing where you are going and planning ahead using this feature will help you be able to contact that veterinarian ahead of time. Doing your homework before you go can save a great deal of frustration if something bad should occur on your trip. This is a free service to both horse owners and to the AAEP equine veterinarians who participate in this program.
By using the AAEP and their member veterinarians, you are going to get someone who is familiar with the horse. You might not get a man or woman with all the answers, but you will get someone with equine knowledge. A small animal practitioner might be wonderful with dogs and cats, but might not be familiar with horse problems.
Let me reiterate. The place to start is planning. Talk to your veterinarian. Let your veterinarian or the staff in the clinic do your research for you. The research can include looking through the AAEP directory and finding the equine practitioners in a certain area. Your veterinarian should be glad to provide this kind of service for you. Then you can contact the practitioners whose names have been provided and make your own selection, based on your criteria and your horse's needs.
What if you have arranged for a veterinarian in your destination area and on the way there you encounter some difficulty? When you step into the phone booth with the yellow pages in your hand, or when you call from your cellular phone, having received the information from the operator, there are certain questions you should have ready. The first question should be whether the veterinarian treats horses. Another important question would be whether the veterinarian is an AAEP member. If the practice does include equines, then you might ask whether horses are a primary part of the practice -- do they make up 10% or 90%?
You also should give the veterinarian on the other end of the line some information about your horse and your horse's medical background. You might say, for example, that you have a national caliber Arab stallion and that your horse has been prone to colic. This kind of information forewarns the veterinarian. He might know the perfect person to handle the situation who is in your vicinity. This method allows you to match the problem with the skills of the attending veterinarian.
For most trips you make, you will know the route you are going to take prior to the time you leave. Again, proper planning can make your trip go more smoothly. You should pre-plan stops at certain points of call along the way. When you stop for gas or for a meal and you do your routine check of the horse and the trailer, you can find out whether your horse is in distress. Knowing ahead of time where these stops will be allows you to have located and contacted someone who specializes in equine practice so that if there is a problem, you are fully prepared to handle it expediently. You already know someone at each checkpoint who can provide veterinary services in the form of equipment, medicine, or treatment.
Prior proper planning is the key. When you contact AAA to make your trip plan, also contact AAEP to make your horse's trip plan.

'Convenient' stores face future without regular GM customers
"It's going to have a huge affect on our business," said Ed Francois, owner of the Jackson Street Citgo, 1002 S. Jackson St., corner of Delavan Drive.
"Without those employees�customers�coming in and out of the GM plant, that will drop the traffic on the road that we depend on," he said.
Francois estimated that 40 percent of his business comes from GM workers, and he sees no way to make up for the loss.
"We're always depending on that traffic, on that street, from neighbors and businesses," he said.
"But without the GM plant operating, that's going to be a huge reduction in traffic at that intersection," he said.
To keep the fuel and convenience store open, Francois said he'll have to cut costs, including payroll.
"That'll be the only way we can make it," he said.
Francois said business has declined with employment at GM.
"As the plant volume went down, so did the workers and so did the traffic that I depend on," Francois said.
Ed Hookham, owner of Jack & Dick's Feed & Garden, 975 S. Jackson St., said the end of SUV production at GM will "definitely have some impact" on his 30-year-old business.
Hookham said GM employees probably make up about 10 percent of his store customers, who stop in for convenience to pick up bags of water softener salt, pet food, feed for hobby animals, bird seed, bird feeders or garden-related merchandise.
"We'll miss those (GM) employees who won't be in our neighborhood anymore, and it will have an affect," Hookham said.
A person stocking shelves at Zachow's Bar, 411 W. State St., said the business "will be fine" even though some of GM's current 1,200 workers employees are patrons.
Owner Andy Segwell, "does pretty good," the man said.
The Janesville Gazette was not able to reach Segwell for comment.
Young Hong, owner of Dan's Shoe Sales & Repair, 974 S. Jackson St., said he would be fine because his store doesn't rely only on GM workers.
"Nothing changes. Everything same," said Hong, who has been in business since 1989.
Francois remains hopeful in light of all the economic doom and gloom.
"We just have to wait and see what happens and develops with GM in the future or with its successor to the property. I think Janesville/Rock County has a tremendous workforce. I just hope someone sees it as a jewel and comes in and takes over."

It is not, however, worthless. This first musical by Chance McClain, who wrote the book, lyrics, and music, includes several strong original melodies in a variety of styles. Its 27-member cast, homegrown at the Acting Academy of the Houston Family Arts Center and transferred intact, features a number of performers whose voices will surely carry them back to New York in a better vehicle.
Forest Glen High School is divided into jocks, nerds, goths, and rednecks—hostile camps dressed exactly as you would expect. As the school year ends, jock Derek (Tyler Galindo) finds that his parents have invited a goth named Summer (Teresa Zimmermann) to stay with them for the summer. While at first hostile to one another, Derek and Summer eventually bond while playing a video game called Soul Crusher. Derek's father (Cameron Worthen) discovers their growing affection and breaks them up, leading to tension, payback, and regret after school begins again in Act 2.
This thin, predictable, and rarely believable plot is filled out with musical numbers enlivened by Ellen Dyer's often-inventive choreography; she works in sit-ups and pushups for the athletes, comical zombie moves for the goths, Texas two-step for the rednecks. But there is also scene after scene of failed slapstick and poop jokes, then a "Carrie"-like scene full of poop. The show ends with an ineptly tacked-on tragedy and a scene of mourning and reconciliation that's straight out of a summer-camp production of "West Side Story."
There are worse shows than "West Side Story" to look to for inspiration, and "Kissless" seems to rely on many of them. They should have taken a lesson instead from a play like "Facebook Me," presented at the most recent New York International Fringe Festival, in which teenagers wrote and performed stories based on their own lives.
Presented by Chance Productions as part of the New York Musical Theatre Festival at the Theatre at St. Clement's, 423 W. 46th St., NYC. Sept. 29–Oct. 8. Remaining performances: Sun., Oct 2, 7 p.m.; Mon., Oct. 3, 1 p.m.; Tue., Oct. 4, 9 p.m.; Sat., Oct. 8, 5 p.m. (212) 352-3101, (866) 811-4111, www.theatermania.com, or www.nymf.org.

Rabbits at Denver International Airport are chewing through the wires of cars in the parking lot causing tens of thousands of dollars worth of damage. The airport is home to hundreds of bunnies, who are not living up to their cute reputation as they chew through brake lines, clutch lines and other wiring. Local car repair shops in the Denver area estimate that the rabbits are doing massive damage and car owners affected have pleaded with the airport to do something about the growing menace. The rampaging rabbits at Denver are not a new problem: In 1999 they were biting their way through the wires of de-icing equipment - and now it seems they have moved their warren to the outlying parking lots...more

They need wolves at Denver International Airport

How about coyotes? Or one of the virus developed for the Australian bunnies. Coyotes and airplanes colliding on the runways might be less of an impact than one of the super wolves currently prowling the countryside up north. Perfect Nonsense!

CREGGANBOY, Northern Ireland, March 7 (UPI) -- The Aurora Borealis, or northern lights, made a rare appearance overnight in the skies over Britain and Ireland.
Artist irishmanlost posted a video to his Facebook page showing the view of the northern lights as they appeared over Kinbane Head in Northern Ireland Sunday night.
"What a show," the artist wrote.
The display was reportedly visible as far south as Oxfordshire, England.

Just when he was getting comfortable as a reliever, Daisuke Matsuzaka stepped into the breach and served as the ultimate stopper for the Mets on the mound and even at the plate.
Matsuzaka pitched six innings and delivered a run-scoring single in a 4-2 win over Arizona in the second game of a doubleheader Sunday at Citi Field as the Mets avoided a sweep by the Diamondbacks.
New closer Jenrry Mejia got the save, making his second appearance of the day after taking the loss in the opener, thanks to a fielding error on what would have been the third out in the ninth inning of a tie game.
The Mets suffered a 2-1 loss in the opener when they stranded 10 runners, hit into five double plays and let the go-ahead run score on second baseman Daniel Murphy's error. They wasted a quality performance by starter Rafael Montero, who allowed one run and two hits and struck out 10 in six innings.
Matsuzaka (2-0) has made a successful transition from the starting rotation to the bullpen this season. He pitched a scoreless inning in Thursday night's win over the Dodgers and had allowed one earned run in his previous 102/3 innings. But after Friday's rainout, Matsuzaka told manager Terry Collins that he was available to start Sunday's nightcap and could give him 100 pitches.
Matsuzaka delivered on his promise, leaving the game after six innings and 98 pitches, having allowed two runs, three hits and a walk with six strikeouts.
"It's a tremendous lift to everybody,'' Collins said. "To do the job when he hasn't been lengthened out shows what kind of heart he's got.''
Matsuzaka gave up both runs in the second on Aaron Hill's leadoff single, a triple by Martin Prado and an RBI groundout. In the next four innings, Matsuzaka allowed just one more hit.
"I haven't thrown this many pitches in a while, and I didn't know how my body would respond,'' he said. "I was confident I could get through it . . . I was given the ball with the expectation I would pitch deep into the game. I would have liked to pitch into the seventh inning.''
When Matsuzaka left, the score was tied at 2, and it was his bloop single in the second that drove in Wilmer Flores from second for the Mets' first run. "I'm pretty confident in my hitting,'' Matsuzaka said with a laugh. "I just wanted to get the run in.''
Bobby Abreu's run-scoring double in the fifth tied it, and the Mets put Matsuzaka in position to get the win when Anthony Recker, who had a career-high four hits, doubled in the sixth and scored on a single by Reuben Tejada, pinch hitting for Matsuzaka. The Mets added an insurance run in the eighth when Chris Young drew a walk, was sacrificed to second and scored on Murphy's single.
Mejia (4-1) came on for the save, allowing one hit and striking out one. He had been saddled with the opening loss when Murphy dropped a relay from David Wright, allowing A.J. Pollock to score what proved to be the winning run in the top of the ninth.
Since his move to the bullpen, Mejia pitched for a second consecutive day for the first time on Thursday. Asked how it felt to pitch twice in the same day three hours apart, he said, "It's very hard. This is my first time. When they call me and say, 'You have ninth inning,' I say, 'Unbelievable.' I never pitched like that.''
It was a new sensation, but Mejia is quickly adapting to the closer role.
"Now I want to be in that role,'' he said. "If they want me to be there, I've got to want to be there, too. There's no pressure. I mean, it's just one inning.''

Nas Talks Signing Boldy James to Mass Appeal Records
God's son gives the details on signing Boldy Blocks.
Recently, Boldy James hit Hot 107.5 in Detroit to chop it up about My 1st Chemistry Set, songs he created with Chuck Inglish, and more. That wasn't the only thing that popped off at the station though. Nas took the time to call in while Boldy was there to discuss a variety of topics, including Boldy signing to Mass Appeal Records. When talking about why he signed Boldy James, Nas said:
"Everybody know what it is in the D, and my man right there, he's flowing. It's easy to see the talent right there, and I just wanted to be associated with that."
Maybe we will finally get that Boldy/Nas track. Listen to the full interview below, and be on the lookout for more from Boldy James.

Karl Rove just can't seem to get it right on certain issues. After all, he wrongly predicted the 2012 election would go to Mitt Romney then had a rather embarrassing display on Fox News on election night when he didn't believe that Obama had won. Not to mention that many American citizens and foreign nationals around the globe believe Mr. Rove is a war criminal.
So this from the guy who hasn't gotten anything right since the 2000 election? I think Rove has been around too long and all the big money deals with deep pocket donors contributing to his various PACs may just be taking its toll on poor Karl. Not to mention that the Hague wants to have a little talk with Rove's colleagues from the Bush administration: Cheney and Rove, Rice and Rumsfeld about the "war" in Iraq. In fact none of the above can travel to Europe at this time…
The Huffington Post
Former President George W. Bush isn't quite a George Washington or an Abraham Lincoln, his former campaign strategist Karl Rove admitted to ABC News on Thursday, but according to Rove, he's not too far off.
"The greats, you can't touch: George Washington, Abraham Lincoln, Ronald Reagan, FDR," Rove said in Dallas at the dedication of the George W. Bush Presidential Center. "But yeah, I'd put him up there."
Rove's claim came after an aggressive defense of Bush's legacy, which he said history would view favorably more quickly than most thought. Bush left office in 2009 as themost unpopular outgoing president in the history of Gallup polling. Rove pointed to arecent poll that showed his popularity at 47 percent to argue that Bush was already experiencing a turnaround.
Rove also said that Bush deserved more positive treatment, claiming that he "kept us safe after 9/11" and "tackled the big issues of trying to reform Social Security, Medicare, immigration, education." He also defended the Iraq War as "the right thing to do."
(Watch Rove's entire interview at Yahoo News.)
Bush's recent return to the main stage has highlighted the controversial decisions that he made as president, renewing a dormant battle between his supporters and his opponents. While Rove has been one of Bush's most vocal defenders, writing a column in the Wall Street Journal this week jabbing back at his former boss' critics, Bush himself has consistently maintained that his legacy doesn't need defending.
In an interview published in USA Today last week, Bush declared that "there's no need to defend myself" on issues like the Iraq War.
"I did what I did and ultimately history will judge," he said.
That said, nobody has ever said you can't attempt to nudge history into your corner. On Thursday, former President Bill Clinton ribbed Bush on that point, saying that his impressive facility was "the latest, grandest example of the eternal struggle of former presidents to rewrite history."

Let's check in on the virtual fence, over in Arizona, to see how this high-tech solution to our porous border is delivering on its promise. If the goal along our southern flank is to secure every inch, then electronic eyes posted along the 1,900-mile frontier are in our future.
While you were waiting for Washington to act on immigration reform, the government went ahead and spent $1 billion of your money to secure 53 miles in Arizona. It's probably unfair and simplistic to do the math, but I'll save you the trouble: That's $18.9 million per mile.
Worth every penny, of course, but only if it works really, really well. Unfortunately, the system of cameras, sensors and radars has been challenged by the bureaucracy (cost overruns and delays), by the science (technical problems) and by Mother Nature (gullies and mountains). The eyes in the sky turned out to be all-seeing, sometimes to the tune of 26,000 hits a day. If you think that's far too many Mexicans, even if you also counted their backpacks, you would be right.
Problems with SBInet, as the system is known, are not new. Janet Napolitano, the secretary of Homeland Security, killed this strategy in January after conducting a yearlong review. In its place is the Arizona Border Surveillance Plan, which aims to patrol the rest of the state's 387-mile frontier by 2014. Estimated cost: $1.5 billion.
If successful, this modified high-tech plan will be the model for the remaining 1,500 or so miles. Your elected officials, always watching out for your money, asked the Government Accountability Office to examine the plan just to make sure it didn't go the way of SBInet. The good news is that it does look like Homeland Security learned a lesson. For one, Napolitano instituted a two-step process that tests technology before committing your money to it. The agency assessed several surveillance systems and then had an independent panel review the technology.
Unfortunately, the U.S. Customs and Border Protection has yet to provide a "key analytical component" for the Arizona plan, according to the GAO audit. That would be the part that describes "the specific types, quantities and deployment locations" of all these eyes. That's like telling someone you will arm them and then only giving them the recipe for gunpowder, in Chinese.
OK, that's a gross exaggeration. Obviously, the technology exists. But given the problems with SBInet, you can see how you can't be too careful when ordering a billion plus in security. The border patrol, which is asking for $242 million for the next stage, also has not yet figured out what constitutes an effective system or how to judge whether it is successful.
The significance, of course, is that both were cited as flaws with the eyes now watching those 53 precious miles in Arizona. The GAO was reassuringly told that planning safeguards will be in place by April 2012. It's a good thing the Republicans in Congress are monitoring the Obama administration on this; otherwise we might end up with an all-seeing system that leaves us in a blind.
Speaking of the Bush administration, what did you get for your billion? The U.S. Army looked into it and concluded that the system was "effective with limitations," according to the GAO report. The radar is especially challenged — "reliability of the system was low" is how the Army diplomatically described it.
But the overall assessment — again, this is your billion — is damning. You will find it on page 19, as a parenthetical. The "actual performance of SBInet in terms of interdiction was only slightly different than if the system had not been present in areas where it was deployed."
Too late now. It's there, in place, sort of watching.
Thankfully, resourceful field agents have learned to work through the kinks. In a survey, some even acknowledged that the system helps their mission. Best of all, they have figured out how to tell the difference between a cactus and an illegal border crosser — with or without a backpack.

Double yellow lines will be painted at several places along residential roads to improve safety for both drivers and pedestrians.
Lincolnshire County Council will introduce waiting restrictions at numerous points in Barnack Road and Water Street, Stamford.
A report to Monday's planning and regulation committee said the measures were needed as drivers were parking too close to junctions on the northern side of the road.
This was making it difficult for people to see as they pulled out of junctions, and was also resulting in vehicles mounting the verge on the southern side of the road.
A spokesman for the council said: "We are introducing these waiting restrictions in the interest of public safety and to improve visibility for drivers."
The double yellow lines will be painted on the corners of every junction, from Park Lane and Maltings Yard to Park View.
Restrictions would also be introduced along Barnack Road to the east of Daniel Court, and along the eastern side of Water Street until Welland Mews. And a two hour parking zone with no return within one hour would be in force between 9am and 4pm outside Cummins Generator Technologies.
The restrictions were put to public consultation, with amendments made to the initial proposals after comments from emergency services, transport firms, the public and interested parties.
The council will now advertise the changes before they come into force. To see a map of the proposals visit http://lincolnshire.moderngov.co.uk/ieListDocuments.aspx?MId=4020

A fresh look at changes the University of Georgia has made in its game-day parking plan to avoid the traffic snarls that kept Bulldog fans in their cars hours after the Sept. 2 home opener against Georgia Southern. UGA and Athens-Clarke officials say the changes are designed to get everyone out of East Campus an hour or so after the game.

Rain may dampen things a bit on this, the first weekend of autumn. Forecasters say there's a chance of some driving rain today, and the chance of showers or thunderstorms at 1 p.m. Saturday when the Bulldogs take the field at Sanford Stadium.

BACK IN STOCK AND UPDATED – White Electroluminescent (EL) Tape Strip -100cm w/two connectors. EL tape is the big sister to EL wire – it has the same glow effect but with a flat, wide shape instead of a round shape. The glowing part of the tape is 1 cm wide (the plastic coating is about 1.5cm wide). The other side has an adhesive on it so you can stick the tape onto something. Its covered in what seems to be PVC, the tape is thus weather-proof – but note that the connectors are NOT waterproof, just a bit of heatshrink. This isn't something we would suggest leaving outdoors for extended periods.
Because EL tape has more surface area than wire, it requires a more powerful inverter for the same length. This tape is about 4 times more capacitive (per length) than our high-brightness EL wire and 8 times more capacitive than 'standard' EL wire. For that reason, we are shipping the EL tape in 100cm lengths with two EL connectors soldered on, one on each end. You can cut it into two pieces of any length and use both halves! Note that the maximum amount for the 2xAA pocket inverter we carry is 60cm so don't try to run the full strip off of one inverter – it will look dim and isnt nice to the inverter – cut it in half first! Plug it in and it will light up nicely! A 50cm strip draws about 200mA from the 2xAA batteries in the pocket inverter (so 2000mAh batteries will last ~10 hours if on 'constant' mode)

CHICAGO (AP) -- In a city where bigger is considered better in everything from food to buildings, officials hope smallness will benefit some high schools.
Mayor Richard Daley and education officials announced a plan Thursday to spend more than $18 million to help four to six struggling large high schools by dividing them into 15 to 20 smaller schools within the existing buildings.
The new small schools would be limited to 450 students each. Officials hope that with more individual attention from a smaller pool of teachers, students' attendance and academic performance will improve and fewer students will drop out.
''Despite all of our efforts, many children in our high schools are not prepared,'' Daley said.

Drug firms 'making cure impossible'
Curing cancer is unrealistic because doctors and drug companies are helping the disease to adapt to treatment, a cancer expert says.
Mel Greaves, the director of the Centre for Evolution and Cancer at the Institute of Cancer Research, says that doctors failed to understand the Darwinian evolution of the disease.
Each patient's cancer evolves through natural selection into many forms in the "ecosystem" of the body, Professor Greaves said. "The patient doesn't have one cancer. They have multiple cancers in many branches . . . all with a common ancestor."
Thinking of cancer in this way was "a wake-up call and a reality check", he said. Darwinian natural selection "explains why drug resistance almost always emerges in cancer. Oncologists unintentionally select for variants which are…

Adopt a pet
DC is a 10- year old domestic long-haired cat at The Lake County Animal Shelter. She has cute black and white markings, and very soft fur. She is a sweet girl, who loves to sit in laps or be carried around. She is quiet and well behaved. She previously lived in a home with a dog. She seems to get along with other cats, one or two at a time at the shelter, but becomes reclusive with many cats around. Her previous owner passed away, and now DC needs a new family. She is spayed and up to date on her vaccinations, ready for adoption.
If you are interested in DC or other pets, please stop by the shelter during open house hours, Monday thru Friday 9-11 a.m., also Wednesday 4-6 p.m. and Saturday 1-3 p.m. You may also call 218-834-5806

Welcome to 17000 Islands, an interactive experiment in documentary image making, and for its creators, a process of challenges and milestones.
The 17000 Islands project (17K) revolves around audio-visual explorations of Indonesia's Taman Mini Theme Park by filmmakers and project directors, Thomas Østbye and Edwin, producer Paramita Nath, with funding provided by the Norwegian Film Institute, and a large amount of technical and creative innovation by Helios Design Labs.
The physical park itself is a idealized replica of Indonesia's 17 thousand islands and their diverse cultures. The digital experience recreates these islands through the use of short films and audio clips, and allows the viewer to remix the original footage into their own interpretation. This new film is then added back into the experience as a new "island".
Here's a quick snapshot view of two years of hard work, in the form of two integral design challenges the project posed for us and the milestones reached through the effort.
Challenge: Development
Build a powerful web-based timeline editing console that would allow a viewer to assemble and edit video footage, sound, text, subtitles, as well as record audio and do all of this though the old plain and simple web browser.
Milestones: New Procedures
On an interface design and programming level, we pushed useful toolsets like jQuery and WebAudio, and HTML5 video and canvas elements to places that were difficult to get to but allowed for drag and drop clip assembly, super fine-grain control of media in and out points, and real-time compositing.
On a backend functionality level (nerd alert!), 17k uses websockets, Node.js, and FFMPEG in combination with in-browser hardware access to allow for audio recording through a microphone input straight through to the web-server.
On a work flow level, the 17k editor is all about content creation, both online and offline. The final save functionality involves the conversion of ones completed piece into a downloadable file that can be imported into Final Cut Pro for conversion into a complete high-res version of what is now a film, thereby extending the reach of the documentary back into the theatre.
Challenge: Design
Make this all fun and engaging, and to encourage an audience to become participants and part of an informative documentary experience.
Milestones: New Visual Language.
17k has a visual and conceptual counterpoint to the linear, timeline-based experience outlined above in the form of a very non-linear, organic experience, loosely labelled the Island Builder. Powered by a simple but complex algorithm, the Voronoi equation, the Island Builder divides a space into a crystalline lattice structure, allowing us to break the video into shapes other than the rectilinear.
People can pull and push these image fragments around to form new shapes and connections. The process is abstract, but the math is such that while maintaining the sense of play and fluidity, all interaction with this Island Builder is actually creating a film edit that is reflected in the linear, timeline-based experience.
On a technical level, it was an achievement to fold the math into a programming structure that could make a connection with the super-nonlinearity of a voronoi equation with the strict linearity of a timeline editor.
On a design level it was an achievement to glue everything together: image sequencing, canvas drawing, cursor tracking, drag and drop, and above all, naturalize the experience with colour, shape and sound.
When the dust settles
17k is borne out of a set of challenges. And it will challenge its audience. The user experience it offers it deep and complex, 17K does many things above and beyond what is described here. Of interest to us and the film-makers, apart from the coolness of the final piece itself, 17k contains the seeds of many new ideas to work with and build on in the future.

Preview: Cavaliers at Nets
A night after winning P.J. Carlesimo's debut as their interim head coach, the Brooklyn Nets will try to make it two straight victories when they host the Cleveland Cavaliers on Saturday. Carlesimo took over after Avery Johnson was fired Thursday and watched his Nets breeze to a 97-81 home win over Charlotte on Friday. After reeling off a pair of five-game win streaks in November, the Nets have won consecutive games only once this month.

I have had neuropathic pain for over 6 years, and have had so many anti biotics for non existent ear infections, cameras up my nose, brain scans and several failed medications. Amitripyline worked initially, then after several months back to square one. I have been taking this medication (sheath cover support) 1 month now, and can't believe the difference it has made to my life. I really do hope it continues. I will try stopping the Amitriptyline once I am comfident in a month or so. So far can't praise it enough, as the pain was totally Unbearable. Thank you so much.

The Dallas Cowboys appeared to have everything on the line in Week 17. Their elimination game against the Philadelphia Eagles was going to further shape quarterback Tony Romo's legacy while providing owner Jerry Jones with another opportunity to evaluate Jason Garrett's future as head coach. But with a source telling ESPN's Adam Schefter that Romo has a herniated disc, knocking him out until 2014, there can be no fair evaluation on any of these fronts.
What happens now? The spotlight clearly falls on the quarterback position heading into Week 17, but it was likely already there. The injury now raises questions about Romo's longevity and the biggest change as a result may be how the Cowboys should approach the QB position in 2014.


text: Well, I have all new pins and bushings installed where the bucket curls on my 250 Series II Deere. I put it all back together last week. All the other pins and bushings in the Vertical lift boom setup seem to be fine. I have to admit it really is not that bad of a job once you know how everything comes apart. It cost me about $280 dollars to do all of it. Deere does make the shimms that also shim the quick attach plate from side to side. Had to get ahold of the right person at Deere in order to get me some. Anyway the shims are .060 think. Now I should be ready for spring.

On Sunday, Father's Day, you can give your Dad a tie or other typical Father's Day fare. But you can also give him a more valuable gift - the gift of life - by reminding him to get checked for prostate cancer. Prostate cancer is the most commonly diagnosed cancer in men. The American Cancer Society estimates that 234,460 new cases of prostate cancer will be diagnosed in the United States, and an estimated 27,350 men will die of the disease. In Georgia, 5,490 new cases of prostate cancer are expected to be diagnosed in 2006, with 640 deaths.
Prostate cancer, like all cancer, can strike any man, regardless of race or socioeconomic condition. Just ask Tiger Woods, who recently lost his father to the disease, or prostate cancer survivors Arnold Palmer, Joe Torre, Rudy Giuliani and Andy Young. However, race does play a role in the incidence of prostate cancer. African-American men have one of the highest prostate cancer incidence rates in the world, and are twice as likely to die from the disease as Caucasian men. Age is also a key factor; more than 70 percent of all prostate cancers are diagnosed in men over age 65.
The American Cancer Society encourages all men 50 and older to learn as much as possible about prostate cancer testing. Men in high-risk groups, such as men whose brothers or fathers have had prostate cancer, or African Americans, should begin annual testing at age 45.
The good news is that prostate cancer can be detected early, through a simple blood test and a digital rectal exam. Then the physician can determine if a biopsy of the prostate is necessary. When caught early, the long-term prognosis for prostate cancer is excellent.
So this Fathers' Day, do something that can save your father's life. It's a much better gift than a tie.

Editor's note: It's Politics reports Saturdays on the ins and outs of Whittier-area politics and government.
When former La Mirada City Manager Tom Robinson retired after 41 years in municipal government, including 28 for La Mirada, he didn't plan on just staying at home and doing a little traveling.
Robinson, 63, has formed his own consulting company, TR Management Services, and thinks his many years in city government can help nonprofit groups and small businesses.
"I'm retired but I'm still relatively young," he said. "I think I have some energy left and some things I can contribute."
So far, he has set up a website and joined the Institute of Management Consultants, where he is a member of the board.
But he doesn't have any clients yet.
Still, the experience has been interesting, he said.
"I've really enjoyed going to these management consulting institutes meetings," he said. "I meet a whole broad range of people with different types of experiences. It's been a lot of fun getting to know these people."
DEMOCRATIC MEETING: Former Assemblyman Tony Mendoza, D-Artesia, now a candidate for state Senate, will speak from 6 to 7 p.m. Tuesday at the Mark Twain Democratic Club, Greenleaf Cafe, 7203 Greenleaf Ave., Whittier. For information, call Masha Delott, 562-699-7555.
WALK WITH LEGISLATOR: Assemblywoman Cristina Garcia, D-Downey, will hold her monthly "Walk and Talk" at 8 a.m. March 1 at Wilderness Park, 10999 Little Lake Road, Downey.
All walkers will have an opportunity to ask Garcia about her new legislative package, discuss issues local of importance and learn about services offered at her new Downey district office.
To help those in need, Garcia's office will also be taking donations that morning of new socks, underwear and travel-sized toiletries (toothbrushes, toothpaste, soap, shampoo, etc.). They will be distributed to the homeless and those in need.
For information, call Garcia's office at 562-861-5803.
REPUBLICAN MEETING: Loren Spivack, author of a parody history of the Obama administration, will speak at 7:30 a.m. March 7 at the breakfast meeting of the Southeast chapter of the Los Angeles County Lincoln Clubs.
The club meets at Geezers Restaurant, 12120 Telegraph Road, Santa Fe Springs. Cost is $25 for a reservation. Email firstname.lastname@example.com.
ELECTION TALK: Assemblyman Tim Donnelly, R-Hesperia, who is running for governor, will speak at 11 a.m. March 7 at the meeting of the Whittier Republican Women Federated.
The club meets at the Friendly Hills Country Club, 8500 Villaverde Drive, Whittier.
For reservations, call 626-968-2125.

Great...except.... This is a great app as far as teaching goes, but not so great for practice. Yes there is a quiz but it doesn't tell you which ones you got wrong or the mistakes you made that made the answer wrong. I would've liked to have known where I went wrong. Also, unless you're just a math whiz and have an organized mind, you will need a calculator and/or scratch sheet of paper.
Peter Carverly
Would be practical if it didn't crash I was really looking forward to using this app as it would of been useful for my nursing degree. It crashes all the time. Such a shame!!!!

Not worth the time Can't watch the video, it's completely black, and it's constantly crashing on me. I'd be better off with pen and paper. Thanks, but no thanks.
