text: Home Culture Bake Sales for Biloxi Out of the media spotlight that New Orleans enjoys, Mississippi's Gulf Coast towns depend on fragile private efforts to come back from Katrina -- five years later. By: Brentin Mock Posted: Aug. 13 2010 12:23 AM 0 Mississippi - Photo by Shawn Escoffery In Moss Point, Miss., about 30 miles east of Biloxi, the Prairie family needs materials to finish repairing their home destroyed by Hurricane Katrina. Unlike New Orleans, where 80 percent of the housing stock was flooded because of faulty levees, areas in coastal Mississippi took a direct hit from Katrina. In their case, 175-mph winds tore roofs off houses, emptied homes of their contents, and sent cars and trees through spaces where roofs once existed. And they sustained flooding. The Prairies are victims not only of that carnage but also of a system of neglect in Mississippi that five years later still hasn't provided enough replacement affordable housing. For $8,000 you can adopt the Prairies through the Adopt-A-Family Project, set up by the Mississippi Case Management Consortium. The Prairies will use the $8,000 to finish the house themselves. But they are just one of more than 5,000 families who have been overlooked by government recovery funding in cities and communities that have been overlooked by national media coverage. So while Mississippi coastal communities have suffered from an incomplete disaster recovery much like their Big Easy sister, they, along with other Gulf Coast communities like Mobile, Ala., and Houma, La., have not been placed under a national lens in the same way. So in some ways their recovery prospects are worse. The window for federal Katrina recovery money closes this year, with Congress seeking ways to take back what hasn't been used. There are no Brad Pitts in Mississippi to build fancy houses or Lenny Kravitzes to do benefit concerts. You Can Always Have a Bake Sale The Adopt-A-Family program is well-intentioned, and without it many families would be adding to the growing list of homeless people in the state. However, it transfers the responsibility from government to already overtaxed citizens and overburdened charities to make Katrina-devastated families whole again. On its Web site, the program suggests creative ways that an adopter can come up with the cash, including "Host a bake sale/car wash/lemonade stand to collect money to Adopt A Family." It's going to take a lot of lemonade to help struggling communities such as Moss Point, East Biloxi and Gulfport, where the highest concentrations of low-income and African-American populations live. According to the Mississippi Center for Justice report "Hurricane Katrina: How Will Mississippi Turn the Corner?" these are also the communities with the largest concentrations of families with unmet recovery needs. The report also makes the case for "invisibles," those who never sought state assistance because of their own lack of access to the programs, their lack of knowledge or their own disability. At the same time, money spent by the state on housing also became more and more invisible as the years went by. The U.S. Government Accountability Office reported in 2009 that Mississippi decreased allocations for housing by almost $800 million from 2006 to 2008. Spending on state economic-development programs has far outpaced that spent on housing in the past two years. Mid-2010 goals to produce 5,740 units of affordable housing ran short by more than 2,500 houses. Even the "Katrina Cottage" program -- low-cost, modular homes -- touted as one of the state's more successful programs, has produced only 550 of those units, when 2,242 were scheduled for completion this year. There's always those bake sales, an idea for which the report says, "As well-meaning as this online appeal may be, Mississippi cannot be permitted to place further demands upon private charity to house our citizens when the state diverted vast housing resources to other uses that still remain unspent."

Las Vegas Gets Ready For Pool Season
Filed under: Luxury Travel & Hotels
With the economy lurching back to life, Las Vegas might be in for one hot summer. If so the hotels are ready with tempting new pool options. Pools are more than places to escape the brutal Las Vegas heat, they've become resorts in their own right offering drinking, dancing, gambling, spa treatments, internet access and more.
Caesars Palace has created the new Garden of the Gods pool oasis, which makes its debut on March 19. The new Fortuna pool features an 18-foot waterfall where guests can challenge Lady Luck at the swim-up blackjack tables. And in addition to the new pools there are 44 new private cabanas, each with a stocked refrigerator of juice and water, flat-screen TV, DVD player, iPod docking station, wireless Internet access, ceiling fan and plush furniture. The two Bacchus pools are framed by curved staircases and available only to invited guests. Qua Baths & Spa offers poolside treatments and full-service massages are available in the large Jupiter spa cabana.
Steve Wynn's Encore will be opening the Encore Beach Club. The compound will include pools, food and nightlife. At Aria, the Liquid pool offers an adults-only outdoor playground that is topless. At the MGM Grand, Wet Republic's ultra pool is 53,000 square feet and offers a nightlife experience with poolside pampering and relaxation. DayDream, The Pool Club at M Resort is a more than 12,000 square-foot space with cabanas, daybeds, lounging areas, an ice-railed bar and an infinity-edge pool and spa.

Aug WASDE Report
Projected U.S. wheat supplies for 2013/14 are raised slightly this month as small increases for Soft Red Winter wheat and Durum are mostly offset by decreases for White, Hard Red Spring and Hard Red Winter wheat. U.S. wheat exports for 2013/14 are raised 25 million bushels reflecting continued strong early season sales and an increased outlook for China imports. Despite larger expected crops in several major exporting countries, strong early season demand and higher projected world imports and consumption also boost prospects for U.S. shipments.

Happy Farmers Market Week!
Minnesota Governor Mark Dayton has proclaimed August 4-10, 2013, as "Farmers Market Week" in Minnesota to celebrate the benefits of farmers markets and the agricultural products farmers provide.
The popularity of farmers markets has increased, in part, because of the interest in healthier foods and lifestyles and an increased understanding of the importance of maintaining small, sustainable farms. Local farmers are able to offer consumers a variety of products including heirloom vegetables, heritage breeds of livestock, and other specialty products.

Taiwan Delegation Visits Minnesota Locations
(From Minnesota Corn Growers Association News Release) A delegation of eight leaders from Taiwan's poultry, swine, feed and agriculture sectors visited Minnesota last week to meet with farmers and other agribusiness leaders.
The U.S. Grains Council brought the delegation to Minnesota to learn more about dried distillers grains (DDGS), which are a by-product of the ethanol process and a high-nutrient feed source for livestock and other farm animals. Every bushel of corn grown can produce 2.8 gallons of ethanol and 18 pounds of feed.

Farm Bill Drops in House
As of Tuesday, farmers, ag organizations and the politicans alike were feeling generally optimistic about the farm bill;even Speaker Boehner and Leader Cantor both expressed enthusiasm for the farm bill's support.
Which may be why it came as such a surprise then the House of Representatives voted on the 2013 farm bill....and came up short. The total vote was 234-195 against the bill with 62 Republicans voting against the bill and 24 Democrats voting in its favor.
Original worries were set with the Obama administration and its statement against supporting the current 2013...

Developed by a scientist at the British Museum specifically for the restoration and preservation of precious works of art, Renaissance Wax is a semi-synthetic micro-crystalline fossil-origin wax that is completely free of damaging acids. This wax is ideal for use on all metals (including gilded and patinaed pieces), gemstones (including organics such as mother-of-pearl, bone and ivory), porcelain, glass, enamel, leather, wood and much more. This wax prevents tarnish and corrosion, and is highly moisture-resistant, forming a lustrous, durable, protective coating that highlights rather than obscures fine detail. The coating also creates a barrier against fingerprints and lifts away oil and dirt as well as the accumulated murky build-up left by other polishes. Completely water-proof and non-abrasive; easy to apply.

There are third party apps/programs you can install on windows that will allow you to airplay mirror to an apple tv 2 or later even from a PC! (also mac) one being airparrot although I'd suggest you check out all options and make a choice for yourself which one suits your needs best.

That depends on what you want to send to the projector.
From tech specs:
"For streaming media from a Mac or PC: iTunes 10.6 or later; iTunes Store account for Home Sharing"
You won't be able to mirror what is on the PC screen. You would only be able to stream content from iTunes on the PC. The Apple TV would connect to your projector using this adapter and then you would stream the iTunes content wirelessly through Home Sharing.- Answered by Christina T from Lake Oswego

Welcome to Sam Liberman Fine Art
Sam Liberman has been painting colorful art work for over 35 years. He now works primarily with pastels, while also fashioning a number of oils each year and drawing on a regular basis.
His work is primarily landscapes, including seascapes, skies, mountains, flowers, swamps, architecture and almost any outdoor setting you can imagine. In the past several years he has also been painting figures on a regular basis.
His art education began in a class with Sheldon Helfman, and he has studied pastels with many excellent teachers, including Doug Dawson, Albert Handell, Colleen Howe. .
His paintings portray recognizable realistic subject matter even in those that lean slightly toward the abstract. The most unusual characteristic of his work is his use of color. He often, if not always, departs from the realistic format in arranging color to express his feelings about the subject matter rather than to reproduce the actual color that he sees. He also uses color to develop the structure of the picture. The contrast in the painting is often more warm/cool than it is light/dark.
He states, "I am more interested in the interaction of the colors than duplication of anything I see. While I don't try to personify colors in a symbolic way, I sometimes think of them as similar to skilled dancers or athletes, and once I have gotten into the painting I try to just let them perform, relying mostly on my instincts, experience or other unconscious sources."
Another characterisic of his landscapes is that they are likely to invite you in.
"I remember years ago when my friend Phil Dennis came to one of my first shows, he commented that I seem to create places for people to relax and enjoy the peace. Painting was definitely an escape from the work of a trial lawyer, which is what I was at the time. I think that the reason I paint is to open my eyes and see. I hope that the paintings work in the same way for the viewers. We are so used to verbal communication, that at times we need to wake up to visual communication , which is a whole differnet experience. For me it is like seeing the world anew each time I start and complete a painting."
"I seldom copy any of the artists I admire most, such as Payne, Van Gogh, Degas, Rose, M. Wachtel to mention just a few. My work contains a little of expressionism, color field, post-impressionism and other identifiable movements, but I enjoy many others art movements, such as art nouveau and fauvism. I would have to admit the most of the painting I love was done between 1825 and 1950"
Sam's work has been exhibited in over 50 competitive national and international art exhibitions. In June, 2009 he had a one person exhibition at The Butler Institute of American Arts, probably the top national venue for pastel artists in this country.
What people seem to like about his work is its freshness and simplicity; although sometimes you will find some things in each painting which you may not notice until after you have looked at it for a while. His work is intended to encourage your imagination as well as his own. "My aim is to stop time, to get away from the the ordinary and let our vision take over for a while."

Should the Supreme Court Overturn Obama's Healthcare Law? >
Constitution, Court's Precedent on Affordable Care Act's Side
Both the Constitution and the Supreme Court's precedent support upholding the Affordable Care Act
March 26, 2012
In the words of Judge Laurence Silberman, a leading conservative who received the Presidential Medal of Freedom from President George W. Bush, the lawsuits challenging the Affordable Care Act have no basis "in either the text of the Constitution or Supreme Court precedent." And Silberman is right. The Constitution gives the United States power to "regulate commerce … among the several states," and there is simply no question that a law which regulates one sixth of the nation's economy regulates the nation's commerce.
This not a particularly new idea. As Chief Justice John Marshall put it nearly two centuries ago, there is "no sort of trade" that the words "regulate Commerce" do not apply to, and these words give the United States "full power over the thing to be regulated." The Affordable Care Act regulates trade in healthcare services, and thus America has the full power to regulate this important market.
[See a collection of political cartoons on healthcare.]
In challenging the Affordable Care Act, the law's opponents seek an unprecedented expansion of judicial power that would eradicate all limits on what the nine unelected judges on the Supreme Court can do. Because their entire legal argument has no basis in the Constitution itself, it eliminates any bounds on what judges can do to impose their will on the American people. If judges are free to ignore the Constitution just this once, they can do it whenever they want, and there will no longer be any limits whatsoever on judicial discretion.
In other words, if judges have the power to strike down the individual mandate, there is nothing preventing the Supreme Court from forcing you to eat broccoli.

Sail-World.com : NSW Marine Brokers Assoc launches consumer campaign
NSW Marine Brokers Assoc launches consumer campaign
'An example of the quality vessels and boating lifestyle offered through accredited BIA Marine Brokers.' Creating Demand
Click Here to view large photo
NSW Marine Brokers Association commences consumer focused boating awareness campaign.
The Marine Brokers Association of NSW (MBA), a Division of the Boating Industry Association of NSW (BIA), has commenced an awareness campaign promoting boat ownership and the benefits of dealing with a BIA Accredited Marine Broker.
The thirty-six accredited members of the Marine Brokers Association, many long standing Sydney based boat sales professionals, are focused on offering boat owners and buyers with a highly professional sales and service experience.
The superior experience is the result of professionalism, and is assured through a commitment to the industry endorsed Marine Sales Professional Development Program. The Program is focused on service, ethics, and business best-practice, ensuring that boat owners and buyers receive the highest levels of service and support when dealing with a BIA Accredited Marine Broker.
BIA Accredited Marine Brokers understand that the ownership experience for their clients doesn't finish once they deliver their boat. Many provide education for boat buyers and organize a range of social and on-water events to ensure that those who purchase a boat enjoy all of the incredible lifestyle experiences that owning a boat delivers.
This campaign will focus on communicating these benefits to the public, highlighting the value, quality, and service that BIA Accredited Marine Brokers provide.
Marine Sales Professionals understand the risks of buying and selling high value assets. For existing owners and those new to boating, this means peace of mind. When considering the importance of matching clients with the right boat, or the potential pitfalls of purchasing privately or in complex offshore deals, the appeal of professional support is obvious.
This awareness campaign is all about highlighting the benefit of buying and selling with a specialist service provider, accredited by their industry association. As summer approaches and the market heats up, educating the public will be critical to ensure positive and rewarding experiences, assured when dealing with a BIA Accredited Broker.
Members of the Marine Brokers Association are active supporters of the Boating Industry Association's initiatives aimed to promote the life enhancing benefits of boating. For family and friends, there is simply no better lifestyle experience.
The coordinated efforts of the BIA and MBA ensure that boat ownership remains the number one choice in recreation, and that buying, selling, and owning a boat is as rewarding as can be.

Cuisinart Pure Indulgence Frozen Yogurt-Sorbet and Ice Cream Maker ICE-30BC |
The first frozen dessert is credited to Emperor Nero of Rome, around 60 AD. It was a mixture of snow (which he sent his slaves into the mountains to retrieve) and nectar, fruit pulp and honey. You might say that was the first sorbet. In 1651, Italian Francesco dei Coltelli opened an ice cream café in Paris and the product became so popular that during the next 50 years another 250 cafés opened in Paris. Frozen yogurt was first made in the 1970s as a healthier alternative to ice cream. In spite of the fact that refrigeration was a 19th century concept, people have frozen desserts for about 2,000 years. Now you can make your own sorbet, frozen yogurt and ice cream at home with the Cuisinart Pure Indulgence Frozen Yogurt-Sorbet and Ice Cream Maker.
What's better than a quart of luscious homemade ice cream, sorbet or frozen yogurt? Two quarts! The fully automatic Cuisinart Pure Indulgence makes 2 quarts of your favorite frozen desserts or drinks in as little as 25 minutes. It's easy -- an Integrated motor, double-insulated freezer bowl and automatic mixing paddle do all the work. Results are consistently smooth, cleanup is easy, and the brushed metal styling is simply sensational. This fully automatic frozen yogurt-sorbet and ice cream maker features a brushed stainless steel housing, a large ingredient spout and a heavy-duty motor capable of making frozen desserts or drinks in as little as 25 minutes. The double insulated freezer bowl can hold up to 2 quarts of frozen desserts.

A professional colleague/friend of mine is putting together a product that is in demand from Educators and students and has asked me to join in - he has funded the wireframing of the online venture and will fund the building of the website. He has asked me, as someone who has the right "connections" to be the lead sales/implementation person and sell the product. I will use my personal connections and experience in the industry to market the online product.
He will be working full time out of his office abroad and I will only have time to work on it part-time in the US. I will not be paid a salary - but my participation and connections are important to the venture.
Key Points:
He brought up the original idea - and I have expanded on it. I am being offered 10% equity in lieu of any salary. If the product is $50, I make $5. He thinks we can sell $1 million the first year, I am skeptical of this...it is a subscription so he believes the profit will continue. I think it could be acquired if this works - but then what happens?.
He has experience as an entrepreneur and is 15 years my Senior and is managing the building and business end as well as International Sales. I have the credentials and name recognition to sell the product in the US.
What seems fair? I've never been an equity partner before and would be considered a "first employee" I guess. He offered 10% but wants me to feel compensated (ie: I think there's room for negotiation). but I want to be fair and smart about it.

What has 100 miles of roads on which you can get your sweet ass nailed by the law? Need for Speed Undercover's map does, and to prove it, EA's released a new trailer showing off various areas in the game and some cars being rammed by teams of black and whites.

Next Need for Speed is Undercover
Missed this earlier. EA boss John Riccitiello confirmed that the William Blair & Company's 28th Annual Growth Stock Conference this week that the next game in the Need for Speed series is titled Undercover, and will release next year.
"For those of you who ever saw movies like The Transporter – it's sort of a cult classic among people with a B-movie mentality, which fits me perfectly," he said. "I liked it. I apologize. For those of you with no taste, and you liked it too, we can go have a Schlitz after this."
Riccitiello also said that the Need for Speed team has now been split into two and moved onto two year cycles. Read more about that here.

Like much of my work, "Her Burden," is based in Maya mythology. This particular image of mother and child comes from an illustration from a prehispanic Maya codex, accompanied by glyphs translated as, "her burden."
The woman wears an interpretation of contemporary Guatemalan Highland indigenous dress; the skeletal remains of her child strapped to her back. Ribs protrude from the infant's peraje. Socketless (dislodged) eyeballs and symbolic representations of blood (Maya) circle its head. A bowl of red seeds, known as coral seeds, also correspond to blood symbolism and are used in divination, or the "counting of days," by Maya spiritual practitioners.
This work immediately confronts the viewer with death - in this case the death of a child - and the implications of the female's "burden" in the birth and loss of this life - her loss. Many in our society are removed from and uncomfortable with these subjects.
While art is always open to interpretation, as the artist, I mean to put forth my own socio-political message embedded in this work which centers on two universal themes:
1) a woman's role within her society - her responsibilty and power over the beginning, maintenance, and end of life - the survival of self and offspring along with the hardships and suffering that this responsibilty entails in many parts of the world.
2) the death/sacrifice of the innocents as a result of warfare, poverty (lack of access to food and healthcare), and infanticide.

Search engines remain popular—and users are more satisfied than ever with the quality of search results—but many are anxious about the collection of personal information by search engines and other websites and say they do not like the idea of personalized search results or targeted advertising.
Though they generally do not support targeted search or ads, these users report very positive outcomes when it comes to the quality of information search provides, and more positive than negative experiences using search.
The results in this report are based on data from telephone interviews conducted by Princeton Survey Research Associates International from January 20 to February 19, 2012, among a sample of 2,253 adults, age 18 and older. Telephone interviews were conducted in English and Spanish by landline (1,352) and cell phone (901, including 440 without a landline phone). For results based on the total sample, one can say with 95% confidence that the error attributable to sampling is plus or minus 2.3 percentage points. For results based Internet users (n=1,729), the margin of sampling error is plus or minus 2.7 percentage points.

Newsroom/Press Releases/
DA proposes solution to improve deteriorating road infrastructure
25 November 2008
A Democratic Alliance (DA) government would prioritize the proper maintenance of the country's infrastructure, particularly road infrastructure which is the lifeblood of our economy. To achieve this, we would budget properly for the recruitment of critical skills such as engineers and project managers, and spend capital budgets adequately to ensure that we eradicate existing maintenance backlogs.
Given our vision, it is alarming that the quality of the country's roads has deteriorated substantially in the past ten years. According to a study released yesterday by the Automobile Association (AA) 60% of national or provincial roads are in poor or very poor condition, compared to about 22% in 1998.
The declining quality of our roads is a result of years of serious under-budgeting for road infrastructure by the ANC government. For example, the current backlog for the maintenance of the provincial road network is at R72 billion, yet provinces only budgeted R5 billion to eradicate the backlog for the 2008/09 financial year - leaving a shortfall of R67 billion.
These figures show that the ANC government has neglected the importance of quality roads towards the country's development. The AA states that ?vast portions of South Africa's road network are in danger of becoming so badly damaged that they will no longer be able to be repaired, and government will be forced to reconstruct them'. As a country that heavily relies on road transport for moving people and commodities to various destinations, South Africa needs properly-maintained roads for our economy to grow at the rate required to eradicate poverty.
The DA proposes the establishment of a Dedicated Road Infrastructure Fund to be used solely for the maintenance and construction of our roads. These funds must be transferred to provinces in a ring-fenced form to eradicate the current backlog and make further investment towards building new roads to increase the road network.

This year marks significant anniversaries of two milestones in United States history. On Jan. 1, 1863, President Lincoln issued an order as Commander in Chief that proclaimed all slaves in the Confederate States forever free. The Emancipation Proclamation did not outlaw slavery, but it did make the destruction of America's "peculiar institution," in addition to the preservation of the Union, a goal of the Civil War. However, the end of slavery did not mean equality of citizenship. The second milestone being mark this year is the 50th anniversary of the 1963 March on Washington.
North Regional Library's program on Tuesday, Feb. 5 at 7 p.m. commemorates the sesquicentennial of the Emancipation Proclamation. Dr. Thomas Hennessey, associate professor of history at Fayetteville State University, will present "Lincoln and Emancipation in North Carolina." Hennessey stated, "North Carolina emancipation was very complicated because the military operations in the eastern part of the state came so early in the war." Slaves living on Hatteras Island came under the protection of the Union Army as "contraband of war" and were not returned to rebel owners. By summer 1862, when much of the eastern area north of the Cape Fear River was under military occupation, Congress' Confiscation Act of 1862 gave freedom to slaves of traitorous rebel owners.
The Emancipation Proclamation freed many enslaved North Carolinians when Gen. Sherman's army swept through the region and Confederate Gen. Johnston surrendered his troops in spring 1865. According to Hennessey, all these measures were subject to reversal; only the 13th amendment to the Constitution, ratified in 1865, ensured the end of slavery in the United States.
The August "March on Washington" attracted an estimated 250,000 people, who peacefully demonstrated to promote civil rights and economic equality for African-Americans. The marchers represented various races, ages and economic levels, and their actions had an impact on the passage of Civil Rights legislation and national public opinion. Dr. Stanley Johnson, associate professor of history at Fayetteville State University, will present the program "The Pedestrian Revolt: An Examination of the March on Washington" at 7 p.m. on Feb. 19. The program focuses on the march and its place in the civil rights movement. Johnson worked the event as a marshal for the Congress for Racial Equality, one of the six sponsors of the march.
Interested in learning more? Check out "Lincoln's Emancipation Proclamation: The End of Slavery in American," "The Emancipation Proclamation: Abolishing Slavery in the South" or "Freedom for Themselves: North Carolina's Black Soldiers in the Civil War Era."
We also have a number of DVDs, such as "To Form a More Perfect Union: Milestones of the Civil Rights Movement" and "Eyes on the Prize. Vol. 2, Ain't Scared of Your Jails (1960-61); No Easy Walk (1961-63): American's Civil Rights Movement." You might want to borrow "Courage in the Moment: The Civil Rights Struggle, 1961-1964" or "The Civil Rights Movement: An Eyewitness History."
For more information, call 822-1998 or check out events on our website, www.cumberland.lib.nc.us/ccplsite. Registration for both programs is recommended. The North Regional Branch Library is at 855 McArthur Road, Fayetteville.

Emily's post inspired me to write about my own fashion frustration. It's certainly not a new frustration, just one that's kept in check when shopping outside the plus-size arena. I've always harbored a fantasy about becoming a plus-size clothing designer. Why? Because as Emily and others have pointed out, fashion designers do not understand large women. Case in point, shop […] Read more »

Top 20 Ann Arbor taxpayers in 2012
Two of Ann Arbor's largest shopping centers and a student housing complex on the north side were the city's top taxpayers in 2012, according to data released this month.
Last year, the city had a taxable value of $4.68 billion and collected $76.5 million in property taxes. That's down from 2011 property tax revenue of $78.6 million and the $82.1 million collected in 2010.
The city's list of top 20 taxpayers in 2012 consists mostly of large apartment complexes, shopping centers and office buildings. It comes as the city's assessor's office is working on 2013 assessments and preparing to mail property owners notices in early March.
The data shows that the top 20 taxpayers accounted for $350,931,391, or 7.28 percent, of the city's roughly $4.68 billion in taxable value. In 2011, the top 20 accounted for $365,457,198, or 7.88 percent, of the city's overall $4.63 billion in taxable value.
The top 5 taxpayers include: Briarwood Mall, Arborland Center, Ann Arbor Campus Housing - or the Courtyards, Detroit Edison and the Eisenhower Plaza office building - or the 777 Building.
Of those properties, all show value drops in 2012 ranging from 1 percent to 19 percent.
One of the largest drops in value on the 2012 Top 20 was at the Maple Village retail center, at 155 N. Maple Rd., which lost more than $4.3 million in taxable value. Real estate listings with Centro are marketing more than 40,000 square feet of available space in the center, meaning it's more than 13 percent vacant. The center also lost $2.8 million in taxable value in 2011.
Ann Arbor Buick Service, or the Huron Village shopping center off Washtenaw Avenue, saw a .27 percent gain after losing $400,000 in taxable value in 2011.
Other notable changes from the top 20 taxpayers list shows housing, which accounts for half of the top 20, is gaining some value. The Windemere and Lake Village apartment complexes both jumped in value after the properties were sold in record-setting deals early last year. McKinley experienced a small jump following several acquisitions and Sterling 411 Lofts also gained value. Glacier Hills senior living community stayed the same with $13,323,600 in taxable value.
Office buildings in the top 20 taxpayers include: Eisenhower Plaza, 2350 Green Road Holdings - or the Northeast Corporate Center, and Burlington Property, which saw a small drop in value.
Falling off the list of top office building taxpayers was McMullen Properties and the former Borders headquarters on Phoenix Drive, which was left vacant following the bookstore's bankruptcy. However, that building sold recently and interest among potential tenants could bring the value up for next year.
Check out the list of the largest taxpayers in 2012 below, and see the historical list dating back to 2001 on the city's website.

As part of our ongoing mission at Kentucky Fire Juniors, we intend to provide an unparalleled soccer experience for our membership. This includes our commitment to preparing our high school age players and their parents/guardians with the tools necessary to pursue a college education, regardless of their intent to continue their on-field playing careers into the next phase of their lives. This is why the KFJ staff is pleased to announce that on Wednesday, November 20th, we will be hosting our first ever KFJ College Preparation Writing Workshop. This event is specifically designed to allow the KFJ sophomore, junior and senior boys and girls the ability to learn skills that will make them more marketable as they prepare for and begin the process of completing college applications, applying for scholarships, and completing their own resumes.
The Kentucky Fire Juniors (FKJ) family would like to congratulate two of our own, Dale Helfrich (Trinity HS / KFJ '98 Boys & '99 Boys) and Jaclyn Puntillo (Sacred Heart Academy / KFJ 99's Girls), for leading their respective teams to the KHSAA State Championship games this Fall, 2013. Both Helfrich and Puntillo were in their first season as high school varsity head coaches this past Fall Season.
The KFJ Premier Girls '00 represented our club well at the Scott Gallagher Tournament in St. Louis. After a tie in their first match, they came back strong in their bracket to move on to the Semis.
Girls U14 Premier:
The Kentucky Fire Juniors (KFJ) u14 Girls Premier team competed in the Major League Soccer (MLS) Youth League Platform this past weekend, November 9th-10th, in Columbus, Ohio. MLS affiliate teams from both the Chicago Fire and Columbus Crew were in attendance. The Kentucky Fire Juniors sent two teams to compete in this historic event. The Girls Premier team won both games with 2-0 score-lines. They defeated the Columbus Crew and the Generation Red Chicago Fire team.
The best takeaway from this MLS event is that both clubs put a heavy emphasis on player development for all youth players. The coaching that took place on every team was about teaching the players to play a style which will help them become better players when they are older and either help them become quality college soccer players, and/or good young professionals. This was a unique opportunity and our KFJ players + families took a lot away from this competition because they were exposed to how Major League Soccer would like to develop our youth. We look forward to the next MLS event and having more of our teams participate.
- Mike Dickey - Head Coach/Technical Director
Boys U13 Premier:
The Kentucky Fire Juniors U13 Premier Red boys played this past weekend in the Columbus Crew's showcase event. U13PRB had the opportunity to play against the Chicago Fire Generation 13 team as well as the Fire's 01 and 02 Academy teams. KFJ was able to pull in 5 players from the Classic Red U13 team for the event. KFJ players represented themselves well coming from behind for a 2-1 victory over the Generation 13's. The Academy 01's showed their quality and class in a 3-1 win over KFJ. KFJ rebounded Saturday with a 3-0 win over the Fire Academy 02's. The Fire Academy 02's played extremely well and demonstrated their technical expertise on the ball individually and in their team possession game. This was a tremendous learning experience for our U13 Boys to play against such quality opponents.

CLIFTON, Maine (NEWS CENTER) -- A judge has overturned a lower court ...
AUGUSTA, Maine (NEWS CENTER) - Governor Paul LePage says he has a Major plan for Maine, and wants to call the Legislature into a special session to deal with it before the election.
The Governor dropped that bombshell Wednesday night at a Republican fundraiser in Bangor. He told the audience he has asked the Attorney general to make sure the plan complies with the Maine Constitution. If it does, he will call the Legislature back to Augusta to vote on it.
The recording of the speech was provided to Bangor Daily News blogger Mike Tipping, who then posted it on the newspaper's web site.
In the recording, the Governor gave no details of the plan, but he told the Bangor audience "I'm just trying to do what other Republican states have done this year and I gotta wait before I say too much more about it, but what I'm telling you is this: If we get this done, the state of Maine will be on the right track for the next ten years. I promise you that."
The Governor's Communications Director Adrienne Bennett confirmed the comments today, but provided no further details of the plan. She said the idea originated with staff members, and also said it is not something the Governor has proposed to the Legislature before.
Legislative leaders in both parties were apparently caught off-guard by the Governor's announcement, saying they had no idea what the proposal is. Republican leaders received some information during the day Thursday, while Democrats asked for a briefing. Democratic leaders said the Governor should go public with the plan, so that Maine people know what's being proposed.
As for the possibility of a Special Session before Election Day, several legislators said there is already a session for the Senate scheduled for September 6. That session will deal with confirmations to state jobs, and said they would rather not have to take time away from jobs or campaigning.
Republicans hold the majority in both the House and Senate right now, but that could change in the November election. The Governor suggested in his Bangor comments that he could get that GOP majority to pass the proposal, while Democrats would not like it: "...and the Democrats, if you think they hate me now... Wow."

Steps still being taken to undo damage of America's Nuremberg
The year 1947 was a watershed for medical ethics and medical care. Fifty years ago, the Nuremberg Code, created in response to the atrocities of Nazi medicine, called for the informed consent of participants in human research. That same year, penicillin was recognized as the standard of care for syphilis.
Researchers from the U.S. Public Health Service failed to connect these two milestones. They continued to conduct a long-running study in Tuskegee, Alabama, on the course of syphilis in untrea

Racism and Research: The Case of the Tuskegee Syphilis Study
In 1932 the U.S. Public Health Service (USPHS) initiated an experiment in Macon County, Alabama, to determine the natural course of untreated, latent syphilis in black males. The test comprised 400 syphilitic men, as well as 200 uninfected men who served as controls. The first published report of the study appeared in 1936 with subsequent papers issued every four to six years, through the 1960s. When penicillin became widely available by the early 1950s as the preferred treatment for syphilis, t

It does look a little like Hugh. And

Why can't these...um...artists, capture their subjects? Weird.
But yeah. This is just creepy. Although it does speak to his level of fame that with just a year and a half of stardom under his belt, they've already waxed him.

What doesn't help, with this wax work, is that whom ever did it, didn't measure him, Rob said that himself. So, no wonder it's messed up, but it is amazing that he's only really been a household name for...what...a couple of years, and he's already been...as Nik said..waxed???LOL
