A man who, by FORBES' careful measure, is one of the 50 most powerful people in the world, one of the 20 wealthiest–and one of the dozen most vilified–is perpetually in a position to reflect. But given it's Charles Koch's 77th birthday, the calendar demands it. Especially with the presidential election that Charles has called "the mother of all wars" less than a week away, and with Koch Industries, the firm he has built into the second-largest private company in America, considering several more big acquisitions, including an 18,000-employee automotive glassmaker, Guardian Industries.
Yet despite all these momentous events swirling around his wood-paneled Wichita office, decorated with seascapes and looking out on to the prairie to the north, the legacy he wishes to initially address comes via a piece of paper with a color photograph of his first grandson. The baby's name: Charles. "My proudest accomplishment," he smiles.
Given that he and his brother have been called "pigs" (by MSNBC host Chris Matthews) and protesters have unfurled "Koch Kills" banners at rallies, Charles clearly wants to use this rare interview to humanize himself, attaching some personal substance to his courtly Midwest manner. Yet this grandfatherly presence, framed by an unbuttoned collared shirt and a toothy grin, is at odds with the business and political juggernaut that he and his younger brother David have built in a systematic process befitting their MIT training.
Charles' many critics on the left–including the President of the United States–accuse him of accumulating too much power and using it to promote his own economic interests through a network of secretive organizations they call the "Kochtopus." Ironically, the Koch brothers believe they're fighting against power, at least in the political realm. For the Kochs the real power is central government, which can tax entire industries into oblivion, force a citizen to buy health insurance and bring mighty corporations like Koch Industries to heel.
"Most power is power to coerce somebody," says Charles, in a voice that sounds like Jimmy Stewart with a Kansas twang. "We don't have the power to coerce anybody."
The November elections–which David, in a separate interview shortly after the results were finalized, termed "bitterly disappointing"–seem to confirm Charles' last point. Not even the Koch brothers, who spent tens of millions of dollars during this election cycle (they won't disclose the exact amount) funding direct political contributions and issue-driven "nonprofits," could coerce voters to back their candidates. Mitt Romney's loss was a huge blow to them, both in terms of likely policy outcomes and personal reputation.
But those who think the brothers, older and chastened, will now fade away don't understand the Kochs. Not a bit. Obama's victory was just a blip on a master plan measured in decades, not election cycles. "We raised a lot of money and mobilized an awful lot of people, and we lost, plain and simple," says David. "We're going to study what worked, what didn't work, and improve our efforts in the future. We're not going to roll over and play dead."
In Pictures: The World's Most Powerful People
The goal has always been, Charles says, "true democracy," where people "can run their own lives and choose what they want to buy, choose how to spend their money." ("Now in our democracy you elect somebody every two to four years and they tell you how to run your life," he says.) Both Kochs innately understand that–unlike the populist appeal of their fellow midwestern billionaire Warren Buffett and his tax-the-rich advocacy–their message of pure, raw capitalism is a much tougher sell, even among capitalists.
So their revolution has been an evolution, with roots going back half a century to Koch's first contributions to libertarian causes and Republican candidates. In the mid-1970s their business of changing minds got more formal when Charles cofounded what became the Cato Institute, the first major libertarian think tank. Based in Washington, it has 120 employees devoted to promoting property rights, educational choice and economic freedom. In 1978 the brothers helped found–and still fund–George Mason University's Mercatus Center, the go-to academy for deregulation; they have funded the Federalist Society, which shapes conservative judicial thinking; the pro-market Heritage Foundation; a California-based center skeptical of human-driven climate change; and many other institutions.
All of these organizations, unknown to 99% of the population, and their common source of support, unknown to most of the rest, have provided the grist for conservative thinking since Reagan. It's a measure of Koch's success that 40 years after Richard Nixon was stumping for national health insurance, Paul Ryan's Ayn Rand-tinged economics are just a little right of center. That the Supreme Court's conservative majority led by Chief Justice John Roberts has issued a number of pro-property rights, anti-government decisions in recent years that read like they came straight out of a Federalist Society position paper. That when George W. Bush sought a watchdog on regulation costs, he appointed a top Mercatus executive. And none of this was accidental–it just took millions of dollars over decades of time. You can see the same process at work in David's quest to find a cure for cancer. A prostate cancer survivor like the rest of his brothers, he has given $215 million to fight the disease so far, including $100 million to fund his own research center at MIT.
But to really understand the Koch brothers' long game–and how the political goals they espouse play out in real life–it's essential to examine the ultimate source of their power: Koch Industries.
Their conglomerate boasts 60,000 employees, 4,000 miles of pipeline and enough refinery capacity to supply 5% of U.S. daily fuel demand. It makes Lycra and Stainmaster carpet, Brawny paper towels and AngelSoft toilet paper. If Koch Industries were publicly traded–and Charles has said that will happen "only over my dead body"–it would rank among the top 40 U.S. corporations in terms of market cap, on par with McDonald's.
Charles and David own 84% of it, after a bitter split with brothers William and Frederick in the 1980s. FORBES estimates Charles and David each to be worth $31 billion, tying them for fourth place on The Forbes 400, behind only Bill Gates, Warren Buffett and Larry Ellison, and they say they reinvest 90% of the company's profits each year. In 2012, with revenues of $115 billion–and estimated pretax profit margins of 10%–that's a stunning amount of money. How they then deploy all that cash, and delegate that control, is one of the world's alltime capitalist case studies.
Koch Industries is generally thought of as an energy company, but that's a misnomer: Their core competence is converting raw materials into valuable products. That's what drew them, in 2005, to purchase Georgia-Pacific, then "a low-cost converter of cheap Southern pine," as one Koch executive puts it, into lumber and household paper goods. As Charles sits in his office and explains the rationale for the deal–the company's largest acquisition ever and its primary management challenge for the past seven years–it epitomizes what makes the Kochs so successful.
First, it displays the muscle that comes from having a private company that has no net debt and that spews out cash. Charles spent $6 billion upfront to buy Georgia-Pacific, and rather than satisfy quarterly earnings estimates or dividend-hungry investors, he immediately directed the new division's cash flow toward paying down the $15 billion in liabilities that it inherited. "Like we should pay dividends and borrow big money?" Charles asks, before answering his own rhetorical question: "That puts the company at risk."
More critically, it reveals the business roots of their worldview. Koch Industries essentially applies the ideas of Friedrich Hayek to the art of making money. Hayek, the dean of the so-called Austrian School of economists, celebrated the chaos of decentralized decision-making as a way for every individual to decide what's in his or her best self-interest. So while ownership is concentrated in the hands of two men, Charles–who has had management control since his father designated him as chief executive in 1967–tries to train each of the company's 60,000 employees to act as if they own the portion of the business they oversee. The Kochs have trademarked their take on Hayek: Market Based Management.
In Pictures: The World's Most Powerful People
Koch Industries has no centralized pay scale. It doesn't peg bonuses to firm-wide profitability, and even the salaries of machine operators are often calculated in part on how efficiently they run the processes they oversee. Middle managers can earn far more than their base salary in bonuses, which are determined partly by the long-term return on the capital they invest. Market Based Management dictates that they can earn far more by turning around a faltering business than playing it safe in a consistently profitable one. "We try to evaluate how much value an employee is creating here and reward them accordingly," says Charles, in an inversion of Marx's famous equation.
Charles, who used to give his children Sunday afternoon economics lectures, styles himself as a professor who manages more by the Socratic method than by decree, probing managers with questions designed to steer them toward long-term interests. Employees, unsurprisingly, like controlling their own destiny, even in heavily industrial, unionized businesses. Thirty percent of Koch's 50,000 U.S. employees are in unions, yet the company's last significant strike was in 1993.
As Koch Industries struggled to digest Georgia-Pacific, Market Based Management forced numerous long-term decisions. Executives first defined what they needed to accomplish: to improve Georgia-Pacific's low-end, scratchy products like Brawny paper towel, which were being squeezed between private-label goods and premium brands like Procter & Gamble's Bounty. Once they determined that course of action, they followed it no matter where it led, even when it meant investing more than $1 billion in new papermaking machinery and increasing the efficiency of its pulp mills. Employees down to the shop floor were given financial incentives to figure out how to do their jobs more efficiently, including learning the intricacies of their truck-size paper towel machines to cut down on breakdowns and unnecessary maintenance expense. One result: Georgia-Pacific's Green Bay, Wis. paper plant is producing the same amount of paper towel and toilet paper as before with half the workforce and sharply higher profits.
Koch executives also had to devise a marketing plan to compete with Procter & Gamble and Kimberly-Clark, each with generations of consumer marketing experience. That's still a work in progress–Koch had little experience selling brand-name products in retail stores–but something managers have been encouraged to spend money on and master.
The timing for all this investment couldn't have been lousier. Just as the company began to revamp its paper towel and toilet paper businesses, the financial crisis and housing market collapse devastated Georgia-Pacific's building-products division. No matter. The Koch long-game strategy is absolute: If it makes sense to them, the Kochs stay with the plan, no matter how burdensome or how long it takes. "We buy something not to milk it but to build it, to take its capabilities and add to them, and build new businesses," Koch says.
Five years into the deal that strategy was easy to fault. Seven years in it's looking smart: This $21 billion purchase, factoring in the debt, is now worth some 30% more, FORBES estimates. "Charles is always asking, 'Where can you take on more profitable risk?'" says Steve Daley, Koch's in-house Market Based Management enforcer. "Playing it safe is slow suicide."
Hayek isn't the only political philosopher to dramatically shape the Kochs. The brothers' hatred of centralized controls stems as much from Stalin as it does from Hayek, a feeling largely inherited from their father, Fred, the son of a Dutch immigrant who settled in tiny Quanah, Tex. near the Oklahoma state line in 1891. Fred Koch studied chemical engineering at MIT and worked for the Soviet Union after big oil companies drove his U.S. refinery-engineering firm to the brink of bankruptcy with patent litigation in the early 1930s. In the U.S.S.R. the elder Koch made a fortune building refineries for Stalin–but developed a visceral disgust for communism in general, and for his benefactor in particular, after his Russian associates were executed in purges.
Fred returned to the U.S. on the eve of World War II and built an even larger fortune around Rock Island Refining, a refinery and oil-gathering pipeline system in southern Oklahoma, and a part-interest in a refinery outside of Minneapolis. Fred was also an early supporter of the virulently anticommunist John Birch Society, founded in 1958.
Fred's four sons–Charles, David, Bill (David's twin) and Frederick, the oldest –grew up on his family's quarter-section (160 acres) of land outside Wichita. Charles recalls his father working him from dawn to dusk on the property, while he could hear his friends playing golf and tennis at the nearby country club. "He had me work, because if I didn't, I'd get in some sort of trouble," Charles now says. (Charles showed similar strictness toward his own son Charles, known as Chase, now 35 and a Koch Industries executive. When Chase, a nationally ranked tennis player, seemed to be dogging it on the court, Charles gave him a choice of putting more effort into his game or getting a job. Chase chose the job and was dispatched to a Koch-owned cattle feedlot in western Kansas for the rest of the summer.)
Charles followed his father to MIT, as did David and Bill, eventually earning master's degrees in chemical and nuclear engineering and going to work for the pioneering consulting firm of Arthur D. Little. But his father, suffering from advanced heart disease, kept pestering him to return to Wichita and run the business. At that point the refining business was earning about $1.8 million a year on sales of $68 million (much of it low-margin oil pipeline revenue) and the engineering business was breaking even on about $2 million a year.
Fred gave his son the refinery-engineering business to run with a simple command: "You can run it any way you want, but you can't sell it."
Charles quickly realized short-term thinking was holding the business back. His father was obsessed with conserving cash to pay estate taxes, and managers were losing business because they refused to share design data about their refinery equipment. "Standard Oil of New Jersey isn't going to buy stuff unless they understand it," Koch recalls saying.
He saw the business could grow much bigger and, in a pattern he has maintained to this day, steered the firm's slender earnings into projects like a new factory in Europe. "I didn't care about living high on the hog," says Charles, who like Buffett lives in an unpretentious house, constructed on his family's property in 1975. "I wanted to build something."
Gradually Fred Koch turned more of the business over to Charles, who overruled cautious managers by expanding Rock Island's pipeline system into new states and buying truck lines to more efficiently collect oil from newly drilled wells. Over time, Charles says, he learned he could take on profitable risk by investing in long-lived assets that his customers didn't want to buy themselves.
Koch's father died on a hunting trip in 1967 at age 67, shortly after handing full management control over to Charles, setting in motion the two most momentous turning points in the company's history. The following year Charles made the riskiest, and likely most profitable, move of his career. His family owned 35% of the Pine Bend refinery outside Minneapolis, with Union Oil of California holding 40% and J. Howard Marshall owning 15%. Koch wanted to buy out Unocal, but the company was asking too much. So he persuaded the older and more experienced Marshall–who later became infamous at age 89 for marrying the young stripper-turned-Playboy-pinup Anna Nicole Smith–to combine his 15% interest with Koch's 35% to prevent Unocal from assembling a majority stake to sell to outsiders.
The risk paid off handsomely. Marshall's heirs, including the widow of his son, J. Pierce, hold Koch Industries stock worth at least $10 billion. And while Charles took on a potentially crippling $25 million in debt to buy out Unocal–something he has eschewed ever since–Pine Bend evolved into a cash engine that provided Charles the fuel to expand. While there were mistakes, including a disastrous foray into oil tankers at the top of the market in the 1970s ("Charles almost had a nervous breakdown" as he flew back and forth to London to renegotiate the debt, David says, chuckling), the winners far outweighed the losers.
Koch Industries swallowed a fertilizer business, thousands of miles of pipelines, DuPont's fibers business in 2004 and Georgia-Pacific the following year, all around a consistent theme of converting commodities into more valuable products. Charles doesn't profess any particular love for gritty industrial businesses. "That's the hand we're dealt," he shrugs.
The second turning point was a by-product of Koch's success: the civil war that still defines the family. Feeling marginalized by Charles, David's twin, Bill, and older brother Frederick tried to wrest control of Koch Industries in 1980. David aligned with Charles and again persuaded J. Howard Marshall to stick with them. Lawsuits flew, and Charles and David pursued their consistent long-game strategy: They bought out their brothers and other shareholders for $1.3 billion in 1983. It seemed like an astronomical amount at the time, but Charles and David, in looking decades down the road, pulled off one of the great deals in business history.
It also led to a decade of family litigation, as Bill and Frederick filed lawsuits accusing Charles of understating the value of the business, and accusing the company of various environmental and regulatory violations. While the suits were eventually settled–and Bill went on to build his own $4 billion energy company–Charles, during the FORBES interview, never mentions Bill by name, referring to him only as "the brother of the twin." There was one unexpected by-product of the schism: Koch Industries expanded its Washington presence in the early 1990s partly to deal with Bill's troublemaking, and that office remains at the center of their political advocacy today.
Charles' remarkable business success sets him up for the criticism the brothers receive–criticism that goes way past simply making lots of money and spending it to shape the political landscape.
Given their strict adherence to the principals of transparent free markets, the Kochs' secrecy seems hypocritical. While Charles has never been shy about enunciating his goals, his annual retreats for rich conservatives look from the outside like conspiratorial cabals. While the ACLU joined Koch-affiliated groups like Cato in opposing limits to cash-fueled political speech, as decided in the Supreme Court's 2010 Citizens United case, conservatives have traditionally touted both unlimited speech and unlimited disclosure. The Kochs' large-scale efforts to hide their political activities by funneling millions through Americans for Prosperity and other putative charitable organizations–something both sides of the spectrum do, and something widely acknowledged as a blatant end-run around disclosure requirements–don't seem to jibe with their convictions.
Charles responds that he follows the law and defends anonymous giving as necessary. "We get death threats, threats to blow up our facilities, kill our people, we get Anonymous and other groups trying to crash our IT systems," he says. "So long as we're in a society like that, where the President attacks us and we get threats from people in Congress, and this is pushed out and becomes part of the culture–that we are evil, so we need to be destroyed, or killed–then why force people to disclose?"
The second issue, given the Kochs' vast financial interests: whether their political activities are blatantly self-interested. Specifically, Koch Industries (a major carbon emitter, vulnerable to tighter emissions controls) has contributed millions to organizations that have studied human-induced global warming with skepticism. While rejecting the claim that he is a "denier"–one group he funded has linked human activity to climate change–Charles warns about "confirmation bias" in the assumption that rising temperatures are driven by mankind. "What makes good science is, it takes skeptics to challenge every theory," Koch says.
While Charles, more diplomatic as the steward of the business, avoids throwing partisan bombshells, David, who lives in New York City and whose main activities surround philanthropy and politics, is less shy. And he has a message for anyone who thinks the Kochs won't be a factor in 2016 and beyond: "We're going to fight the battle as long as we breathe. We want to bequeath to our children a better and more prosperous America." That means more of the same tactics, as well as whatever new ones election lawyers cook up .
But the Kochs are also capable of surprise, with their libertarian instincts often trumping their conservative ones. David Koch, for instance, supports gay marriage and opposes the war on drugs. The brothers' new political emphasis in the coming year? Fighting corporate welfare.

Unlike climate change, the Kochs come at this cause with a more pristine mandate, since many subsidies help their company. For example, Charles counts the end of the ethanol subsidy as a major success, even though Koch Industries is a major ethanol producer. (This is not totally unusual in the energy business; Exxon Mobil also routinely lobbies against subsidies because it doesn't want to invest in any business dependent on unpredictable federal largesse.) While Obama talks about getting rid of lobbyists, Charles says, the "only way he can achieve that stated objective is to get government out of the business of giving goodies." "That's like flies to honey," he adds. "The first thing we've got to get rid of is business welfare and entitlements."
One thing to count on: Once the Kochs starts down this road, they're very likely to stay at it. Ditto Charles Koch himself. He shows no signs or interest in slowing down. Buoyed by the Georgia-Pacific success, he's again in acquisition mode. Given the company's size, managers need to look for deals that "move the needle" for Koch Industries, he says. If they focus too much on smaller things, "we're not going anywhere."
Two things are for certain: Koch Industries will stay a private company–Charles says that he's been estate planning for "many, many years." And this master of the long game has already planned for his departure. While daughter Elizabeth isn't involved in the business, his son Chase, a Texas A&M graduate, is a senior vice president in the company's agronomics services business (Charles declines to say whether Chase is being groomed for his job). Many of the executives above Chase are years from retirement, including Koch Industries President David Robertson and the heads of Georgia-Pacific and the Flint Hills refining business.
"We have the best leaders and the most depth of leadership we've ever had," says Charles. "If I get hit by a truck, maybe it would get me out of the way and it would go better." Spoken like someone who has had it all planned out, decades in advance.

Deadheading — clipping off the old flower tops — or pruning foliage down to where a new flower bud is emerging will extend their growth for a month or two. Zinnias, for instance, produce lots of continuous blooms if cut down to their new bud growth.
Gardeners can also still plant for late-summer color while waiting for the fall and winter selections to appear at the nursery.
This area will still have some extremely hot late-summer days, so there's no reason to be afraid to plant more annuals, such as vincas, marigolds, salvias, zinnias, ageratum and begonias, which nurseries are still carrying.
The new fall selections are starting to arrive, too, but beware: Snapdragons and pansies need much cooler weather before we start to plant them in this area.
There are some really rich, fragrant plants that you might want to consider for your fall planting. These plants will enhance your garden and draw you and any other visitors to their scent.
Gardenias have many varieties that make the nose happy and please the eye. Gardenia jasminoides "Mystery," for example, is a midsummer-through-early fall bloomer. It can reach 6 to 8 feet tall, but pruning will keep it neat and tidy.
Another excellent gardenia is a variety called "Veitchii," sometimes sold as "everblooming." It will grow to 3 to 4 feet high and considerably wider. This is a reliable bloomer and may continue blooming during a warm winter.
All gardenias need a rich, acidic soil, which can be achieved by adding appropriate soil amendments. They need partial shade, too, with preferably no sun in the late afternoon.
My absolute favorite fragrant plant is a flowering shrub called Heliotrope. The bloom is gorgeous, and the scent is so sweet. It is a summer bloomer but will bear beautiful, fragrant purple flowers into fall. Heliotrope should be planted in late-afternoon shade.
Happy gardening, as always.

'Innovation Index' roughly unchanged in the first quarter of 2009, according to UM-Dearborn study
August 28, 2009
DEARBORN / Aug. 31, 2009---After a fall of more than 12 points in the previous quarter as the credit crunch made economic innovation very difficult to finance, innovative economic activity in Michigan was roughly unchanged in the first quarter of 2009, according to the innovation index compiled by scholars at the University of Michigan-Dearborn College of Business.
The index fell to 80.0 in the fourth quarter, down from 80.7 in the fourth quarter of 2008. Both numbers are dramatically lower than those from early 2008.
The quarterly index, a project of UM-Dearborns Center for Innovation Research, or iLabs, provides a summary measure of economic innovation activity in the state of Michigan. The index tracks economic innovation in Michigan based on calculations of employment of innovation workers, trends in venture capital, trademark applications, incorporation activity, small business loans and gross job creation. Two components of the Index rose during the quarter while four declined.
Looking ahead, preliminary indications are that innovative activity began to recover in the second quarter of 2009, according to Lee Redding, associate professor of business economics and director of the Innovation Index at the UM-Dearborn College of Business. Based on partial data, iLabs estimates that the Index will show a modest second quarter recovery to 83.5. This recovery is based on strong reports from Small Business Administration loans (encouraged by the stimulus plans) and trademark applications. Other components of the Index are not currently expected to show sharp moves in either direction.
The number of incorporation filings in the state, which are often relatively strong at the start of the calendar year, showed a substantial increase in the first quarter. The first quarter numbers, which were similar to the first quarter numbers from 2008, contributed an improvement of 2.4 points to the Index for the quarter, Redding said.
The number of trademarks applied for in the state rose moderately in the first quarter. Although still down from year-ago levels, the quarterly improvement added 1.0 points to the Index, said Redding.
The reported number of new jobs created by new companies or companies adding jobs fell to approximately 200,000 during the fourth quarter of 2008. This number is down slightly from the previous quarter, which reduced the Index by 0.6 points, Redding said.
(Due to data availability, this item enters the index calculation one quarter late.)
Venture capital activity in the state continued to fall in the first quarter, reducing the Index by 1.5 points, according to Redding.
Employment of innovation workers and the number of loans arranged through the Detroit office of the Small Business Administration also declined during the first quarter of 2009.
A substantial drop in the fraction of Michigan workers employed in science and engineering cost the Index 2.0 points, Redding said.
The number of small business loans was relatively unchanged from the low numbers of the fourth quarter. A small drop cost the Index 0.2 points.
The Innovation Index for the second quarter of 2009, with a preliminary estimate for the third quarter, will be released in December.
Redding collaborates on the project with economist Anne-Louise Statt.

This coming year, that involvement takes on a new turn as he becomes president of the West Side Pioneer Association, the Tracy area's historical organization.
Gamino and other officers of the group were installed Wednesday, Dec. 19, at the Tracy Historical Museum, which is operated by the West Side Pioneers.
Serving as officers with Gamino, who succeeds David Lee as president, are Bill Carter, first vice president; Celeste Garamendi, second vice president; Judith Lee, recording secretary; and Wes Huffman, treasurer.
The officers were installed before the annual Christmas at the Museum open house, which featured many members in Victorian-era holiday costumes.
Gamino, 60, is a native of Tracy and a third-generation Southern Pacific employee, following in the footsteps of two grandfathers and his father, Santos "Sam" Gamino.
In the coming year, he wants the association to develop programs that will include new ethnic groups in the city and attract younger members.
"People from all over the world have moved to Tracy in the last half-century," he said. "We need to involve them and their cultures."
He also believes the association should explore possibilities of acquiring its own building, preferably one with historic significance, for a location of an expanded museum. The museum is currently housed in a former post office.
"We are fortunate that the city of Tracy has restored the old post office building for a museum, but space is limited," he said. "We can't keep turning away artifacts that people want to give us and should look to the future."
His interest in history was ignited by hearing stories of the lives of railroad workers of Mexican descent in Tracy and by a U.S. history class at Tracy High.
"Howard McCuistion, the teacher, was really energetic and made history come to life," Gamino said. "He had served in the Marines in World War II, and he often told stories of his service in the war."
After graduating from Tracy High in 1970, Gamino enrolled in California State University, Chico, as a history major. He transferred to University of California, Berkeley, as a junior and continued studying history, concentrating on European intellectual history.
After graduating from Berkeley with a bachelor's degree in history, Gamino was a graduate student at Marquette University in Milwaukee for two years, concentrating on the western movement in the U.S. and receiving a master's degree.
While attending college, he also worked summers for the S.P. as a brakeman, and he became a year-round employee upon returning from Wisconsin.
He was a brakeman and switchman in freight service in Tracy, Roseville, San Jose and San Luis Obispo and also served as a conductor on the commuter rail service on the San Francisco Peninsula before retiring in 2002 after 30 years.
During those years, he took leaves from the railroad to attend history and business classes at several universities and community colleges and also participated in a transportation system study program at San Jose State University.
Gamino returned to Tracy 10 years ago, and he and his wife, Carolyn, live in the original Gamino home on West First Street.
After returning to Tracy, he became a member of the West Side Pioneer Association, serving on the Historical Landmark Committee and as a board member.
He has taken special interest in researching the development and decline of railroading in Tracy and is one of the founders and president of the South Side Community Organization.

Roger Waters Tickets
Not just the co-founder and bassist of one of the most legendary rock outfits in music history, Roger Waters is a successful star in his own right. As Pink Floyd's principle lyricist and composer, Waters became known for his outstanding contribution to the third best-selling album of all time, The Dark Side Of The Moon. Following his departure from the group in 1984, Waters carved his own path in the industry with his debut album The Pros and Cons of Hitchhiking, which features guitar parts from Eric Clapton. His first major recognition as a solo artist came with the release of his 1992 album Amused to Death and since then, he has embarked on a series of world tours, including a three-year stint from 1999. Between September 2010 and July 2012, Waters played a mammoth sell-out global tour to celebrate 30 years since Pink Floyd first performed their double-album The Wall onstage.

Law firm advertising is expensive and certain methods may be cost-prohibitive for small firms. For instance, a small firm may not be able to afford a television or print campaign. Enter online marketing including, among other things, Google AdWords and sponsored links. In 2009, a law firm filed a lawsuit in Wisconsin state court challenging certain marketing strategies as an invasion of privacy, as defined in the Wisconsin privacy statute. Luckily for consumers and small firms, the court disagreed.
The case involved the two most prominent personal injury firms in Wisconsin. One of them, Cannon & Dunphy, used a Google AdWords PPC (price-per-click) strategy (and other search engines) to bid on the name of the state's largest personal injury firm, Habush, Habush & Rottier. In other words, when a user would search the terms Habush or Rottier, a Cannon & Dunphy link would show up in the shaded section as a Sponsored Link.
Habush sued Cannon, alleging that Cannon's online marketing campaign violated Wis. Stat. §995.50. That statute prohibits "the use, for advertising purposes or for purposes of trade, of the name . . . of any living person, without having first obtained the written consent of the person," and provides a cause of action where such an invasion of privacy was unreasonable.
The result of the litigation, after the jump….

People often ask the Treatment Advocacy Center how to change their state's mental illness treatment laws or civil commitment standards. Every state is different but many quick and easy-to-use tools and strategies cut across state lines.
You can make a difference. Click on any title in the list below for suggestions on advocating effectively for the elimination of barriers to treatment of severe mental illness in your state.
To receive important news updates and calls to action, Sign Up now. For the profile of one advocate who made a difference, read "Randall Hagar - A profile in treatment advocacy."

Know the laws in your state
To effectively advocate for intervention, it is essential to know what the standards for intervention in your state or the state where the family member lives currently are. Use the US map in the upper left of this page to navigate to your state's page. Click here for a guide to state laws and standards.
Identify the deficiencies that need addressing in your state
- 45 states have assisted outpatient treatment (AOT) laws authorizing courts to order treatment for people with severe mental illness who are too sick to get treatment for themselves. To advocate effectively, determine whether your state has such a law and, if so, whether it is being used. The local department of mental health, your state department of health and welfare, or your local NAMI affiliate will know.
- 42 states are estimated to have fewer than the estimated bare minimum number of psychiatric hospital beds necessary to meet acute mental health needs. Click here to find out where your state ranks.
- 9 states allow civil commitment (inpatient and/or outpatient) ONLY when someone becomes dangerous. Sadly, meeting this standard may not occur until after an individual has actually hurt somebody. Use the state map at upper right to learn where your state stands on the dangerousness standard. Advocating for more progressive commitment standards is a good target of your efforts.
- 3 times more people with severe mental illness are in jails and prisons than in hospitals. In some states, the ratio is close to 10:1. Click here find out where your state ranks.
Understand the facts
Assisted outpatient treatment works. Knowing the facts about AOT's effectiveness makes advocacy easier. Among the facts independent studies have documented for patients in AOT for six months or more:
- 77 percent fewer were hospitalized.
- 85 percent fewer experienced homelessness.
- 83 percent fewer were arrested.
- 85 percent fewer were incarcerated.
- 55 percent fewer experienced suicide attempts.
- 48 percent fewer experienced drug abuse.
Anosognosia is a medical condition. The majority of people with severe mental illness who are not receiving treatment are not aware they are ill. The medical term for this condition is "anosognosia." Learn more about anosognosia here.
Severe mental illnesses are real diseases. Multiple studies confirm that schizophrenia and bipolar disorder are diseases of the brain in exactly the same sense that Parkinson's disease, Alzheimer's disease and multiple sclerosis are. Write a letter to the editor
Letters to the editors of traditional and online media are a powerful way to draw attention to under-reported issues and to correct media errors . For tips on writing effective letters to the editor that will get printed, click here. Consider writing a letter when any of the following are reported in your local media:
- A preventable tragedy in which the perpetrator or victim is publicly identified as suffering from an untreated severe mental illness (sample letter theme: "This tragedy could have been prevented if this state were using its assisted outpatient treatment law.")
- Governmental action with regard to the laws and commitment standards in your state (sample letter theme: "The Legislature should be faulted/praised for changing the state's standard of what conditions warrant court intervention to get treatment for the severely mentally ill.")
- Any public issue related to severe mental illness (sample letter theme: "This state is jailing far more people with mental illness than it hospitalizes and turning a medical condition into a crime.")
Write your lawmaker (state legislator or, in California, county supervisor)
Even a handful of letters can have a tremendous impact on your state legislators and their decisions on whether to support treatment law reform. Click here for tips on writing effective letters to legislators. Don't know who your legislators are? Click here to find out.
Visit your lawmaker
If you live in or near your state capital, meeting with your legislator is the most effective way to explain the importance of treatment law reform. They personalize the issue and allow you to assess your legislator's position. Click here for tips on meeting with legislators.
Advocate for better use of the law
If your state already has progressive commitment standards and assisted outpatient treatment provisions, advocate for consistent, effective implementation of them. To advocate:
- Seek opportunities to speak to officials or organizations in a position to influence treatment for mental illness in your community, e.g., law enforcement agencies, district attorneys, judges and/or mental health providers or their professional groups.
- Alert local media to misstatements about treatment laws and standards, families in crisis (providing they want to cooperate), how a better state law might have been used to avert a preventable tragedy and other issues of public interest. Most news organizations have a "submit a tip" function on their websites as well as functions for submitting letters to the editor, corrections, guest columns and other materials.
- Sign up for broadcast emails from the Treatment Advocacy Center about developments in mental health and its treatment.
- Subscribe to our blog.
The Treatment Advocacy Center does not accept funding from pharmaceutical companies or entities involved in the sale, marketing or distribution of such products. This makes private donations critical to fulfilling our mission of eliminating the barriers to the treatment of severe mental illness. To donate today, click here.

Don't know what you are expecting to get for it but there are NEW Cheetah's on E-bay now for around $200.00. I doubt you'll get $200.00 for a good used one. I think I would seriously consider keeping it.
Hey Bob might want to go check my auction out cuz I got bidders already over $240.00 with 4 days left. I threw in some accessories and the bow was only hunted lightly for one year and looks new. Also a custom string will bring the value up. The value of the bow is still good and it shows here. If I waited 3 more years then yes be worth less that $200. Why keep it and let the value go down more? What are the odds I will ever need a back up?
im a better safe then sorry kind of guy...but to each his own
so seriously what r u askin fer it ?
Bowhunter; My Onza is down waiting on new strings (not Martins non loop served kind). I can't really call it my backup, but my 2010 Diamond Iceman is going to keep me in the field. nuff said.
I sold the Cheetah for $370 not including the shipping costs. Not too bad
i got $275 bare for my '08 Cheetah. i had plenty of hits on CL for $325. but i told a guy if he came and got it that night i'd knock $50 off. i was given an excellent deal on the '09 Quest and wanted to jump on it. so i got the short ata dual(binary)cam bow that i wanted at a great price. no regrets here.
'14 ChillR 28.5"/74# Extreme Recon sight,Schaffer Opposition rest,LS modular stab, Beman ICS Hunter 340
I don't regret what I did as well. I did my first Robin Hood last saturday with my new Bowtech Heartbreaker. Took me 14 years to do it. SSPX0112.JPG

"I will make My arrows drunk with blood... Deuteronomy 32:42a (HCSB)
I am an Alien, I am in this world but I am not of this world, have mercy. Tell the Truth and shame the Devil.
It's simple. If I can get a item cheaper on another website I'll buy it there. If the item seems to have the same price all over the net or cheaper on AT, I prefer to buy from a AT sponsor or member. I just had this issue yesterday. I contacted a lot of dealers on AT looking for the TrophyLine Ground armour Knee savers. After some PM's back and forth I ended up buying straight from the company itself. It's one of those items i want to buy each year and forget. I end up remembering while I'm cutting my knee's up on rocks trying to sneak up on some Muleys. I have till Sept 1 before my hunt starts. So i didn't buy from AT but from the Manufacturer itself.
Another note, a lot of places will have the item for the same price. Then when you go to check out and find out the shipping....it's a jaw dropper.
I prefer to support AT as many of you know I'm a Mod over there. But I'm also on a budget. I like to support Archery sites or those companies that support hunters. You won't know if an item is a good deal or not without shopping around.

The BMC Racing Team's seven-rider roster for Brabantse Pijl Wednesday includes defending champion Philippe Gilbert and past top 10 finisher Greg Van Avermaet.
Team Riding Well
BMC Racing Team Directeur Sportif John Lelangue said Gilbert and Van Avermaet will be co-leaders for the 195.7-kilometer race. "We have two guys who can make really good results before attacking the three big WorldTour classics in the Netherlands and Belgium," Lelangue said. "Philippe is also getting better after his problems the past couple of weeks (virus, tooth infection and Milan-San Remo crash)." Gilbert's win last year at Brabantse Pijl preceded a rare sweep of the Ardennes classics: Amstel Gold Race, Fléche Wallonne and Liége-Bastogne-Liége. The Belgian national champion said he's not feeling any additional pressure to perform. "I am looking to just keep improving," Gilbert said. "Our team is riding well, which makes it a lot easier."
BMC Racing Team Brabantse Pijl Roster (April 11):
Adam Blythe (GBR), Yannick Eijssen (BEL), Philippe Gilbert (BEL), Klaas Lodewyck (BEL), Amaël Moinard (FRA), Greg Van Avermaet (BEL), Danilo Wyss (SUI).
Directeur Sportif:
John Lelangue (BEL)
Dario Spinelli (ITA)
Press Officer:
Blandine Roquelet (FRA)
Bus Driver: Filip Sercu (BEL). Mechanics: Jürgen Landrie (BEL), Ian Sherburne (USA), Glen Vandevyvere (BEL). Soigneurs: Gunther Landrie (BEL), Trudi Rebsamen (USA), Chris De Vos (BEL).
