"With that in mind we've decided to try and play at five North-east independent record shops in one day to celebrate the release of The National Health - an organisational nightmare and quite possibly foolhardy, but we like to stretch our boundaries occasionally. Join us!" For anyone who somehow doesn't know about Maximo Park...

Dario Franchitti wins pole for Toronto Indy race
TORONTO – Dario Franchitti and Will Power are back at the front of the Honda Indy Toronto field to resume the battle that boiled over here last year.
A feud broke out last year when Franchitti bumped Power entering Turn 3. They were at odds through the Edmonton race two weeks later and fought each other all the way to the series championship won by Franchitti.
The pole was the 29th of Franchitti's decorated career. Power will start on the front row for the fourth time this season. He was "happy" to start on the front row given the challenges of the day.
RESULTS: Honda Indy Toronto lineup
STORY: Franchitti eyes season boost in Toronto
Power made contact for a second straight day with friend and former teammate Simon Pagenaud. Pagenaud apologized, but Power wanted no part of the explanation.
"I gave him the Australian 'go-away,'" he said.
Power then was slowed up in the second round of qualifying by Takuma Sato. IndyCar stripped Sato of his two fastest laps in qualifying for his role in the incident.
"I gave him the Australia 'hello,'" Power said of a hand wave.
Said Franchitti: "You've had a busy day."
Justin Wilson and Sebastien Bourdais will share the second row a day after being together in a pit road incident created by Wilson missing his pit box. Five crew members were hit, sending two to the hospital. All were released Friday afternoon.
Scott Dixon and Alex Tagliani rounded out the Firestone Fast Six by qualifying fifth and sixth.
James Hinchcliffe of nearby Oakville, Ontario, qualified ninth but will start 19th to a 10-spot penalty for changing an engine Saturday.
Power doesn't want 'hollow' apology from Pagenaud
As IndyCar pole winner Dario Franchitti said Saturday, Will Power had a busy day at Exhibition Place, site of Sunday's Honda Indy Toronto.
Power had contact with Simon Pagenaud in the morning practice, then nearly saw his qualifying session end by the slower car of Takuma Sato. IndyCar stripped Sato of his two fastest laps for interfering with Power, but series officials didn't intervene with Pagenaud.
Power was trying to pass his former Walker Racing teammate heading toward Turn 8, but Pagenaud stayed strong on the inside of Power. When the corner arrived, neither could make the turn. Pagenaud stopped just ahead of the tire barrier, Power escaped to the run-off area.
Pagenaud came to Power's pit box to explain and apologize, but Power said the words were hollow.
"That's B.S., ask Dario," Power said. "He did not (lock the brakes); why did he drive me into the wall? If he wanted to let me go he would have let me go.
"It's a good excuse. He came up to say sorry, and I said 'Nah, (go away). I don't believe you."
As for the Friday incident, Power said the street circuit simply got too busy. James Jakes held up Scott Dixon who held up Power who held up Pagenaud.
"His payback is to block me and run into me," Power said of Pagenaud. "Pretty extreme."
Pagenaud accused Power of "not wanting to listen."
"He's imagining different things," he said. "He thinks it was payback; he thinks I'm trying to run him off the track. That's not true."
Power said a truce must be called.
"We don't need to be doing this; it's dangerous enough as it is and then you start paying people back for running into them it just gets worse and worse," he said. "It's not NASCAR where you can hit someone and not get hurt."
Lotus still struggling for improved results
Simona De Silvestro's starting position didn't improve much with the updated Lotus engine, but she is optimistic that improvement is coming.
Per the agreement with IndyCar, Lotus will introduce new pieces each race through the Sept. 2 stop in Baltimore.
"I think we've made some improvement this weekend," said De Silvestro, who will start 21st in the 25-car field. "The power is better in the mid-range; we've got a lot of work to do in the driveability of the engine."

It's a boy! The royal couple – Kate Middleton and Prince William – have finally given birth to a healthy royal baby.
Posted by Cat as Fashion, Glossy Covers, royalty at 2:13 PM EDT on Mar, 05 2012
Royalty certainly comes with a public obligation to glamour especially for a young woman born into high fashion and style. And what more can epitomize a designer household name to royalty than royalty herself. Granddaughter to Hollywood icon Grace Kelly and daughter to Princess Caroline of Monaco, Charlotte Casiraghi signs up as the new face of Gucci.
The 25 year old young royal is an accomplished equestrian who has been closely attached to the house of Gucci for the past 2 years. She has worn nothing but Gucci for her riding gear in all her competitions thus making her one of the top 15 personal icon faves of the designer label.
The young Charlotte and her elegance has the creative director of Gucci cooing at her style as it brings back the effortless glam of her famous grandmother Princess Grace .
Gracing the cover of the September issue of French Vogue in 2011, Charlotte Casigrahi also has sashayed her way through several runways of Yves Saint Laurent and Stella McCartney fashion shows as she follows in the footsteps of her model mom . Actress Evan Rachel Wood gives way to Gucci's new icon in a campaign to launch and introduce its new face.

Posted by Cat as Prince William, royalty, Rumors & Whispers at 5:39 PM EDT on Nov, 25 2011
Whispers of a new heir to the royal family are stirring quietly as Kate Middleton has been spotted doing the preggy belly rub during her UNICEF appearance. Although nothing can be confirmed about a royal pregnancy at the moment, sources are whirling on news about extensive renovations going on at Kensington Palace along with two other royal houses to make room for luxurious nurseries fit for a royal baby.
This could just be a future infanticipation but not necessarily an immediate move. Then again, there have been other recent tell-tale moments going on at the royal palace that may suggest otherwise.
Just this October, the palace changed the rules of succession. The first born child shall be first in line to be named monarch regardless of gender. Noticeably, this was made just for Prince William, bearing in mind rumours of his desire to have a daughter. Prince Charles is also said to have the same wish for a granddaughter. Top on the list of names picked out by the royal couple are Edward, Philip or Michael for a prince and Rose or Alice to go with a princess.
Now if that doesn't smell like royal baby preparations for you, Kate has refused a sampling of peanut butter during a UN engagement in Copenhagen. Interesting to note that expectant mothers are usually advised to stay away from eating any peanut products as precautionary measures of transmitting allergens to their unborn child.
Nobody really knows what's going on but everyone is certainly keeping a close watch on these royal moves.

Nothing else could ever spell sexy than a man in uniform. Especially, if you knew it was royalty serving his country in battle. Well, you get the complete royal sexy package of such a sight in Prince Harry.
The 23 yr old Royal Prince has just recently qualified as an Apache helicopter pilot and may be headed back to combat in war-torn Afghanistan soon. Having served in the Helmand province in 2008, Prince Harry had little choice in getting extracted after endless media haunting compromised his location.
As of this date, hushed reports and whispers out of Britain have pegged another deployment for Prince Harry when his squadron returns to Afghanistan for another tour next year. The palace as well as Britain's Ministry of Defence remains tight lipped on this topic, saying how they cannot comment on the deployment of individual service personnel.
A spokesperson for the Clarence house reiterates on this issue with a statement : " Harry is an army pilot and will deploy wherever the army chooses to send him. His course finishes in 2012 and after that his deployment will be a matter for the army chain of command."
The young prince has always been keen on his duties of service and, truth of the matter is, he does look quite sexy while serving his country in battle. The once notorious royal blood is now much more refined and strapping in his ways. When asked about his military aspirations, Prince Harry gracefully quips, " My goal is to serve my country like everybody else in the British Forces.:
After all the royal wedding bliss of his older brother, Prince Harry may be looking at deployment as early as the summer of 2012. Marriage may yet be in the far side of things with the royal bachelor for now, and his commitment to service may keep him in the market for a little while longer.

The royal palace has yet to confirm rumors that Prince William is ready to pop the question to longtime girlfriend Kate Middleton, but websites and publications all over the globe have already gone bonkers running headlines about the couple.
People magazine was quick to pick up the story. Their latest cover reads: "The Next Princess: Why They're Ready to Wed." It even gives a blow-by-blow account on their love story and speculations on how the prince will propose.
According to CBC News, the rumor started when blogger Tina Brown wrote on The Daily Beast on Monday that "a highly placed source in royal circles said that two days in June have been mysteriously blocked out on the palace diaries—June 3 and 4." She then speculated that those are likely dates for "an engagement announcement."
"We don't comment on speculation," a Clarence House spokesman told CNN after the rumor exploded.
Still, people are excitedly waiting for the palace's final and formal announcement on the matter. They two have been dating on and off for the past seven years, so we are all hoping for the best.
Do you think Prince William will propose to Kate soon?

Britain's second in line to the throne touched down in Australia last Tuesday for a three-day visit. His activities include immersing in the country's culture and listening to Australian music such as Susan Boyle and Kylie Minogue, reports Digital Spy.
January 20, 2010: Prince William greets the public at the Royal Botanic Gardens in Sydney on the second day of his unofficial visit to Australia.
This official visit stems from an invitation by the local Australian government to get to know the country better. The last time Prince William has been to Australia was during a tour with his late mother, Princess Diana, back when he was a toddler.
"Prince William is visiting Australia after traveling to New Zealand to officially open the new Supreme Court in Wellington," said the Australian Prime Minister in an official statement. "During his visit, Prince William will focus on his core interests of supporting servicemen and women, helping young people fulfill their potential, and sustainable development in the light of climate change. The prince will also use the visit to learn more about local indigenous issues and visit the bushfire-ravaged countryside in Victoria."
And how have the Australians reacted to his princely visit? According to this Telegraph article, the 27-year-old prince seems to be charming the pants off the locals.

Yesterday, Nick was proud to present a proclamation celebrating our local small businesses and recognizing May 12 – 16 as Portland Small Business Week!
The proclamation celebrates the important contributions that small businesses make to our local economy and neighborhoods.
To help celebrate, Nick teamed up with Portland Timbers' mascot Timber Joey and headed over to Bazi Bierbrasserie in the Hawthorne Boulevard Business District. There, with business owner, Hilda Stevens, they got a chance to preview Kick-Kick-Score, a 9-hole mini fut-golf kicking course (think miniature golf, but with soccer balls).
Funded by one of four soccer-themed grants from Venture Portland, the Kick-Kick-Score game will be featured up and down Hawthorne Boulevard during the Major League Soccer (MLS) All-Star Game celebrations coming up the first week of August.
As Council liaison to Venture Portland and the City's representative to MLS, Nick ensured that Venture Portland was involved in the planning of the All Star Game celebrations from the very beginning.
The result? The whole city, including our neighborhood small businesses will benefit from the economic impact that the All-Star Game will bring.
Tomorrow, Nick wraps up Small Business Week by celebrating in East Portland with the Division Midway Alliance. Nick will join community members in raising brand new banners showcasing the pride of the Midway Business District.

TT: Suntory time in SmalltownMy septuagenarian mother and I watched Lost in Translation yesterday afternoon. Somewhat to my surprise, she liked it, though she initially found Sofia Coppola's elliptical style of storytelling a bit hard to follow. (Gen-X moviegoers suckled on MTV take jump cuts for granted, but most people born before 1950 or so are accustomed to films in which the plot elements are laid out fairly straightforwardly.) In addition, it hit me after about 10 minutes that she didn't know what jet lag was, meaning that she couldn't understand why Bill Murray didn't just lie down and take a nap. Once I explained his problem, she was fine.
My mother said two things that stayed with me:
(1) She'd never heard of Scarlett Johannson. "At first I didn't think she was very pretty," she said, "but then I changed my mind. Isn't her skin beautiful?"
(2) About two-thirds of the way through the film, she remarked, "They didn't have to spend much time learning the dialogue, did they?"

MILWAUKEE (AP) -- The state Supreme Court has declined to hear an appeal from a Milwaukee man convicted of killing seven women over a 21-year period.
Walter E. Ellis pleaded no contest in 2011 to charges of first-degree intentional homicide and first-degree murder. The 52-year-old was sentenced to life in prison.
He appealed the conviction, arguing in part that he only accepted a plea deal because he thought all the pretrial publicity made it impossible for him to get a fair trial in Milwaukee County. He said the judge should have granted a change in venue.
An appeals court upheld the conviction. Ellis then appealed to the state Supreme Court.
Defense attorney Richard Hart said Friday the high court has declined to take the case.

Wireless charging of cars may still be the stuff of science fiction, but wireless charging in a car won't be for long. Bloomberg is reporting that General Motors will integrate Powermat Technologies' wireless charging tech into some of its vehicles next year, allowing wireless recharging of compatible phones.
GM, which is one of Powermat's investors, is attempting to beat both Toyota and Chrysler to bring wireless recharging into the car. The technology, which uses a coil to interact with the magnetic fields generated by a Powermat to transfer electricity, has been available to consumers for some time, and is only expected to become more ubiquitous in the coming years. According to Bloomberg, wireless charging tech will expand from the five million units sold in 2012 to nearly 100 million by 2015.
Bloomberg spoke to Dan Flores, a GM spokesman, who refused to comment on when and in what vehicles wireless charging would appear in, "We continue to work with Powermat to bring their technologies to GM products, but for competitive reasons we're not discussing specifics at this time. The technology continues to move forward."
What do you think - does wireless charging tech have a place in the car? Would you rather have a single cord to charge and play music from your phone, or would you like to see wireless charging join Bluetooth streaming in keeping the car and the phone physically unconnected?

Can a Hack Force HP Printers to Burst Into Fire? HP Says Hell No
A group of students at Columbia University recently showed how they could hack, with relative ease, an HP LaserJet printer and convince it to overheat. Naturally, the Internet pounced on such a sensational story, first reported by MSNBC. In full damage-control mode, HP quickly put out a statement, saying the fiery hack couldn't happen in real life. The hack works like this: HP printers (indeed, most printers) always scan a print job for a firmware upgrade.

Galloway, NJ
Downtown Galloway's Patriot Lake is both a public recreation area and a 9/11 memorial site. A small but important part in Galloway's community consciousness, Patriot Lake spans a total of 4 acres and features a central lake surrounded by three memorial gardens, one commemorating the victims of each of the three separate attacks on 9/11. Enjoy a bit of nature downtown, where you will often see families playing or relaxing, and perhaps a few fishermen, casting a line into the well-stocked lake. The park is popular at lunchtime and a common picnic spot, with its lakeside gazebo and shaded picnic area.
Located inconspicuously in a small shopping plaza just south of the AtlantiCare Regional Medical Center, Celina's is one of Galloway's culinary treasures. Whether you stop in for breakfast, lunch, dinner, or just a cup of coffee, this is one of the best little dives in town. With a menu to satisfy all tastes and dietary choices, including a selection of vegan and vegetarian options, Celina's has a pleasant atmosphere and exceptional staff. Every dish is freshly prepared, and the cook does not mind special requests. Be sure to order something from the full espresso bar, too, which is also one of the best in Galloway.
Less than half an hour's drive from the phenomenal nightlife scene in Atlantic City, you will never search very hard for a club or bar with live music or a lively happy hour, and while Galloway is a quintessentially sedate community, it is also a town with a few good watering holes of its own. Tailgaters Bar & Grille is a local favorite for catching the big game with friends while imbibing a few brews. Dubliner's Irish Pub & Grille is another busy local joint, with live music every Friday, or check out the trendier J.D.'s, where the younger crowd gathers.

Vice-Chancellor John McCardell announced today the appointment of Terry Papillon, director of the University Honors Program at Virginia Tech, as dean of the college effective July 1, 2014, at the conclusion of Dean John Gatta's service this summer. Gatta announced in November his decision to step down on June 30 after seven years as dean of the college.
"I am delighted by the prospect of welcoming Terry Papillon to Sewanee," said McCardell. "Terry's numerous strengths are a perfect match for the University of the South at this moment in our history. We have a clear strategic direction and are moving forward vigorously toward our goals. Terry's experience and, as important, his understanding of the life-changing effect of a liberal arts education will serve Sewanee well as we embrace the challenges of the future."
Terry Papillon is assistant vice provost at Virginia Tech and the director of the University Honors Program, as well as professor of Classics. He has a B.A. in Classics from St. Olaf College. He has a Ph.D. in Classical Philology from the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, and taught in North Carolina, Minnesota, and Wisconsin before joining the faculty at Virginia Tech in the Department of Foreign Languages & Literatures.
Papillon teaches ancient Greek, Latin, classical civilization, mythology, and rhetoric, and regularly leads study abroad programs. He has received the Diggs Teaching Scholar Award (given for dedication to innovative and creative teaching), the Sporn Award for excellence in teaching introductory subjects, and—just this spring—the Provost's Award for Excellence in Undergraduate Advising.
"Having been educated at a small liberal arts college, I know of its transformative power," said Papillon. "St. Olaf literally changed my life, since I started as a math major, did about half of a music major, and ended up being a classicist. It transformed how I thought about who I wanted to be and where I wanted to go, and compelled me to think seriously about what I valued. I want to help other students experience that transformative power, the sort that Sewanee offers."
Papillon became director of the University Honors Program in 2008. He has led a program that provides honors students with enhanced access to faculty mentoring and the tools needed to achieve a top-rated education. He also fostered involvement in other related opportunities, including undergraduate research, international travel, cultural opportunities, community service projects, and international scholarship competitions. He introduced a First Year Excellence Seminar as a first-year experience for honors students.
Papillon's research specialty is Greek rhetoric, particularly the Greek rhetorician Isocrates. He is the author of two books and numerous articles and book chapters. He is also editor of the online Classics journal Electronic Antiquity.
Provost John Swallow chaired the search committee that advised McCardell on the appointment of the new dean. "Terry Papillon will bring Sewanee a remarkably complete vision of how undergraduates can learn and develop through their four years at Sewanee," Swallow said. "The committee showed extraordinary commitment to the college's future, and expressed great excitement about the ways in which Terry could lead the college."

The following article was given to me just a few weeks ago by my mother. It is a print off microfiche. The date is not included but it appears to be from the Napa Register (or Napa Daily Journal) circa 1892-1894. That's my current best estimate on the time frame.
For Supervisor
Mr. P. Flannagan is the Democratic nominee for Supervisor in the West Napa No. 1 District. He has been a resident of Napa county for twenty-five years, and is thoroughly familiar with the needs of the county. He has owned and cultivated his farm near Judge Stanly's place in the Carneros District for many years, and commands the confidence and respect of all who know him. Where he is best known he is most liked. He is honest, competent, liberal-minded and safe man, and will make a most excellent Supervisor. He is deserving of the earnest and hearty support of the voters of the First District.
(The above is an exact transcription with Flanagan spelled in correctly.)
A second article indicates what it cost to run for the election. In this case, Patrick spent $60 total to run for office. Depending on the office, people spent anywhere from $5 to $222.75 to run.
Patrick didn't win the race for supervisor. Shortly after the election, he fell ill and later passed away in 1896.

MOREnet Council Meeting Minutes - March 11, 2010
TIME: 10:00 a.m. – 2:00 p.m.
Thursday, March 11, 2010
PLACE: Room 316
Governor's Office Building
Jefferson City
Members present: Tim Gallimore, Chair, Gary Allen, Russell Brock, Margaret Conroy, Dave Doennig, John Gillispie, Rita Gulstad, Debbie Hughes, Craig Klimczak, Waller McGuire, Deborah Sutton attended for Grant-Engle, Doug Young
Alternates present: Mark Mabe, Barbara Reading, Bill Rodgers, Deborah Sutton
MOREnet staff present: Natasha Angell, Chip Byers, Sherry Loyd, Hank Niederhelm, Greg Silvey
Public present: Jerry Bryan, Ozarks Technical Community College, Bill Giddings
Chair Tim Gallimore call the MOREnet Council meeting to order. Those who were in attendance are listed above.
Minutes of the December 15, 2009 MOREnet Council Meeting – Approval
Chair Gallimore asked for a correction to the second paragraph, last sentence under FY10 Withhold/FY11 Budget Reduction Scenarios-Discussion section; changed "was" to "were." Margaret Conroy moved to approve the December 15, 2009 minutes as corrected. David Doennig seconded the motion and it passed unanimously.
Reserve and Fund Balance Use Policies – Endorsement
Debbie Rodman reviewed the policies set at the June 12, 2006 Council meeting and explained why staff believe MOREnet should maintain a minimum 60 days working capital to meet normal business requirements and that the greater of 60 days working capital or the amount deemed necessary for an orderly shut-down for operating be used to establish a minimum operating reserve in each program area. This would replace the current Fiscal Exigency Reserve (FER) policy with a Minimum Operating Reserves (MOR) policy. Rodman to remove "In addition to the current reserve policies" from the Recommended Reserve Policy Changes – Minimum Operating Reserves section to eliminate confusion.
John Gillispie explained that a fundamental issue that MOREnet is encountering is that the USF receivable exceeds the cash on hand by a substantial amount. Today the University of Missouri cash flows MOREnet. Gillispie wonders if that is the best business decision. Chair Gallimore questioned whether in the event of a shut-down, if USF would be required to reimburse those receivables to the University if MOREnet has already shut down. Staff believes MU would be reimbursed, but will clarify. Since MOREnet is an entity of the University of Missouri payments to the University should not be a problem. Gary Allen indicated that the University doesn't have an issue with the current arrangement due to the fact that the FER was created as a result of a financial audit and review and at the encouragement of the University to create a cushion for MOREnet to be able to systematically shut down operations in the event of a catastrophic defunding.
The current FER is $3.5M, which was a calculation of shut down expenses. This new MOR policy would increase that amount to about $5M.
Craig Klimczak moved to approve the updated reserve and fund use policies. Rita Gulstad seconded the motion and it passed unanimously.
Plant Fund Contributions – Endorsement
Rodman reviewed the current Plant Fund (PF) contributions policy and explained the need to fund the PF through the cost allocation methodology with contributions from all appropriate areas. The current capital equipment replacement cost is expected to be $9.6M. Last year the PF contribution for FY11 was estimated at $1.1M. Staff has clarified that this amount should be $1.045M in order to let the PF grow until FY19 and then use the balance to replace the optronics equipment. Waller McGuire moved to approve the updated PF policy based on the cost allocation methodology that was passed. Craig Klimczak seconded the motion and it passed unanimously.
FY10 Budget Withholds – Endorsement
Rodman gave a breakdown of the 45% appropriation reduction, the current appropriation distribution and the expense reductions. Chair Gallimore questioned what the PF contribution suspension consisted of and Hank Niederhelm replied that the funds were going to be used to upgrade the core routing infrastructure earlier than scheduled but the equipment can be sustained until the regularly scheduled upgrade time. Rodman added that the video replacement also came in under budget. Doennig asked if the recommendation was only a fix for right now and if by some chance additional funds became available that MOREnet would be able to also partially fund the PF. Rodman indicated that could be done.
Klimczak said he would like to get the state leaders to understand that MOREnet is not a telecommunications competitor. Gillispie reported that he has spoken with the Missouri Telecommunication Industry Association's Executive Director and explained that two-thirds of MOREnet's revenue goes straight back to the private sector. He is hopeful that will help.
Gulstad moved to endorse the FY10 appropriations withholding plan. Doennig seconded the motion and it passed unanimously.
Mid-Year Reprojected FY10 Budget – Endorsement
Rodman reported that there have been changes in the FY10 projected revenues and expenditures from the FY10 original budget. Mid-year FY10 reprojected revenues are lower than original budget by ($6,063,000), expenses are lower than original budget by ($2,853,000), and PF contributions of ($1,110,000) were removed, for a net decrease in revenues over expenditures of ($2,100,000).
Conroy moved to approve the endorsement of the mid-year reprojected FY10 budget, including the suspension of the PF transfer for FY10. Klimczak seconded the motion and it passed unanimously.
FY11 Cost Allocation Methodology – Endorsement
Gillispie shared and explained a map depicting the cost per megabit across the state for providing Internet connection to K-12 schools. This map is included in the MOREnet legislative handouts and staff will post them on the website. MOREnet's message has been that MOREnet has sustained cuts and is doing okay but don't cut anymore because there is not enough time to restructure. MOREnet's network fundamentally has three funding sources; member fees (about 25%), E-rate (about 25%), and appropriations (about 50%). Gillispie explained that because of recent cuts in the appropriations, it is hard for the members who've been paying 25% to come up with additional monies fast enough to be able to accommodate a rapid change. This message has been well received by the legislators who Gillispie has met with.
Gillispie wants a methodology that shows clear revenues and expenditures as well as supports network growth. He gave an overview of the proposed cost allocation methodology pointing out that he understands that it doesn't drive costs to the individual member but to member groups and therefore is not perfect but is heading in the right direction.
Gulstad moved to amend MOREnet's recommendation by removing – only if an agreement can be reached by the MOREnet Council on HB3 allocations that treat member groups equitably and do not result in lower overall member fees for any member group – from the recommendation. Conroy seconded the motion to amend and it passed unanimously.
Klimczak moved to approve the proposed cost allocation methodology. Gulstad seconded the motion and it passed unanimously.
HB3 Appropriation Allocation – Decision
Gillispie reviewed the HB3 history chart and explained that in FY04 when HB2 and HB3 merged, the Council agreed that TNP would not fall below the amount appropriated in FY03. The 32% shown for FY04 was the amount committed to TNP. Over time the amount of dollars appropriated to TNP has risen to 40% primarily due to reduced connectivity costs for MERC.
Klimczak added that prior to the merger, 100% of MERC's connection cost was covered and after the merger only tail circuit costs were covered. MERC members also started paying a bandwidth fee that exceeded the previous cost to them. Several institutions didn't use their full allocation (used 1 tail circuit when granted 3) and TNP benefitted but when the costs started getting allocated, more of the costs started getting allocated to those who were taking advantage of their full allocation. Part of the reason TNP gained 8% over that period of time was because there were institutions not taking advantage of what was allocated to them. This was good for TNP and good overall but it wasn't the original intent of the funding. The MERC board agreed to let TNP stay at the 40% of what is allocated but doesn't want it misrepresented that the allocation percentage was all because MOREnet saved money on connection costs.
Rodman also added that there was a cut in state funding in FY06 of 30% which resulted in the Shared Network Support fee. For MERC it was an explicit network connectivity fee that was direct billed. TNP and REAL were assessed on the same basis but due to their multiple program funding it shows up as a transfer. In FY07, the cost allocation approach changed resulting in a shift of funding to TNP. In FY08, $2.5M was given back to MOREnet due to an appropriation request to support the cost of growth. This resulted in TNP going from 36% to 38%. In FY09, TNP went to 40% due to growth and MERC need.
Doennig moved to adopt a methodology to fund the core network first out of HB3 with the remaining HB3 funds being split 90% to TNP and 10% to MERC. Russell Brock seconded the motion. Klimczak didn't have agreement from the MERC Board and therefore couldn't agree with the motion.
Gulstad suggested an amended motion to adopt a methodology to fund the core network first out of HB3 with the remaining HB3 funds being split 85% to TNP and 15% to MERC for FY11 with the Council reevaluating for FY12. Doennig accepted the amended motion. Conroy seconded the motion. A vote was taken and the motion passed with Brock voting against the motion.
Preliminary FY11 Budget – Endorsement
Rodman gave a review of the FY11 preliminary operating budget, which is based on the Governor's recommendation for appropriations, FY10 member fees and Shared Network support levels, and preliminary estimates of expected expenses. The net result is an increase in revenues of $3,926,000, an increase in expenses of $521,000, when compared to the mid-year reprojected FY10 budget, and an increase in PF contributions of $1,045,000, for a net increase of revenues over expenses of $2,360,000 compared to mid-year reprojected FY10, with an overall deficit of ($1,359,000) yet to be addressed for FY11.
Conroy moved to approve the FY11 preliminary expense budget subject to final appropriations. Gulstad seconded the motion and it passed unanimously.
Governor's Budget Recommendations and Program Updates – Information
Deborah Sutton reported that HB2 is on schedule. The House Appropriations Committee put more money into the funding formula. On March 15 Representative Icet will present his house budget bills to the House Budget Committee. On Wednesday and Thursday those bills will be amended with the Senate Budget hearings expected to start the week of March 22. DESE's top priority is the funding formula.
Chair Gallimore reported that the Department of Higher Education is being asked to make cuts that would eliminate 20-30% of its staff. There are constitutional amendments proposed to merge and/or eliminate departments, as well as testimony being given on several items in the budget. One controversial item has to do with Missouri Access funds and is taking a lot of staff time.
Conroy reported that MOSL has received a 5% reduction to its GR core with no reduction in the library line items. However, cuts are expected. Staff is researching how library fees are set and if any restructuring might be needed. Online database services that affect all MOREnet customers would be cut before any library tail circuits. Members of the public library sector have done a marvelous job educating their legislators about the importance of MOREnet.
Stimulus Update – Information
Chip Byers reminded everyone that MOREnet is trying to come up with a single vendor solution to cover a large portion of the state using stimulus funding. Unfortunately, no single partner has come forward with match money, therefore, prohibiting MOREnet from submitting an application. MOREnet then contacted the state about working together to try to build a stronger application for the second round, which calls for connecting anchor institutions (schools, libraries, community colleges, higher education, and public safety). MOREnet connects all these anchors except those in public safety. A combined application was not possible and staff understands that a patchwork of applications is going forward. MOREnet has been asked to endorse some of those applications. In order to endorse an application, per the University's legal department, MOREnet must offer a set of requirements and if those are met MOREnet would then have to endorse that application. MOREnet is close to endorsing 4 proposals. Byers will share the endorsement requirements with the Council.
Byers questioned if the Council had any thoughts on the need to advise/coach institutions on any endorsements that they may be asked to give.
Conroy inquired about the Google community fiber project and the possibility of the City of Columbia doing a pilot project. Gillispie reported that he has been attending the local meetings and attended a webinar last week hosted by National Association of Telecommunications Officers and Advisors (NATOA). The city of Columbia is pursuing an application and there is a working group assisting them in putting together the attributes that Columbia offers. If Columbia is selected, Google would provide fiber to every home in the city. Allen added that the University feels that it along with MOREnet, Stephens College and Columbia College represent assets that the community could leverage in this endeavor.
Legislative Update – Information
Natasha Angell reported that in December, Kyle Dare, Puxico R-VIII Superintendent, testified on behalf of MOREnet before the Senate Appropriations Committee and that in February, Nikki Krawitz, UM VP of Finance, testified on behalf of UM Related Programs including MOREnet before the same committee.
In January and February, Gillispie addressed questions from the House Appropriations Education Committee on several occasions, attended many hearings and met with many representatives. From those meetings he feels that MOREnet has support and that the representatives understand the value MOREnet provides. However, this legislative session is extremely difficult. The representatives told Gillispie that they need to hear from the constituents, not from MOREnet.
Gillispie and Angell also met with the following member-related associations: February -- Missouri Association of Rural Educators and the Missouri Association of School Administrators, in March – Missouri National Education Association and the Missouri School Board Association. Staff is attempting to schedule a meeting with the Missouri State Teacher Association.
MOREnet participated in the following events: ShowMe TechKnowledge Day in January, Library Advocacy Day in February, and UM Legislative Day in March.
Staff has made calls to members in the House Appropriations Education and Budget Committee member districts and will make calls to the Senate Appropriations Committee member districts next week seeking their support.
Angell will have staff post the current legislative handouts on the MOREnet webpage at www.more.net/content/legislative-resources.
Additional April Meeting to Discuss Member Fees
It was decided that no additional meeting will be needed. Gillispie advised that he believes each program needs a 2-3 year plan to bring fees in line with the costs.
Meeting Schedule
- July 30, 2010
- How services are currently charged and if that practice should continue in the future?
- October 22, 2010
- December 14, 2010
Suggested agenda item:

Look no further for a wedding planner and photographer. I am so happy I found Simple Weddings. Christine, my wedding planner, was the perfect combination of experience and personality. She was very easy to reach, flexible and reliable. I planned my wedding from another state and actually never met Christine until the day of my wedding. However, throughout the planning process, she was in constant contact with me via email and phone. On my wedding day, as soon as she arrived, she took charge and I knew I had nothing to worry about. The wedding went off without a hitch. I could not have been more thrilled.
Our photographer, Claire, went above and beyond our expectations. Our pictures looked like they could be in a magazine. She worked with us very easily to get the "must have" shots but was also open to a little creativity. She captured the images we wanted and then some. These will be cherished memories of a special day.
I would highly recommend Simple Weddings. They made things…well…simple!

We were so pleased and thankful for their efforts!!!! I Highly recommend this for any size and style wedding.

All the team at Simple Weddings are brilliant and I am so glad I chose them for my destination wedding. Nothing was too much trouble and the day was exactly how I wanted it. As I live in the UK, all communication was by email or telephone but this didn't hinder any of the planning. They were all professional and made us feel so relaxed on the day.
Thanks to Desiree and all the team at Simple Weddings for making my day so perfect!

Wonderful! I used Christine with Simple Wedding as my day of wedding coordinator. I had a small wedding, but wanted help on the day of the wedding to set up decorations, coordinate vendors, etc. I couldn't have been happier. The wedding was beautiful, easy, and fun. I'm so happy to not have had to worry about the details, and got to thoroughly enjoy my day. Thank you!!!

Simple weddings is one stop shopping at a reasonable price providing wedding planning, officiant, photography and endless invaluable advice. Our wedding planner advised us on flowers, reception venues, and hair salons for the day of the wedding. Each person we worked with at Simple Weddings along with every person they recommended were professional and experienced at everything we needed. It made it easy for me as the bride along with the rest of the wedding party and all of our guests to simply relax and enjoy the ceremony and being with friends and family. Having a destination wedding could have been an incredibly stressful experience since I'm from Illinois but everyone at Simple Weddings made sure I was comfortable with everything and there were no suprises. Although Simple Weddings has packaged deals, they went out of their way to make sure that we felt like we could change anything we wanted to make our vision of our beach wedding unique and special to reflect who we are as a couple. I really cannot emphasize enough how great everyone at Simple Weddings is at their job and how easy planning a wedding can be if you hire the right people and from my viewpoint, Simple Weddings were definitely the right people.

My husband and I live in NY and decided to get married in Florida on Anna Maria Island. We found Simple Weddings from an online search. From the minute we first spoke with Claire (one of the owners) we knew we had found the right wedding planner for us. She immediately started working on finding us a venue in our desired location and within less than 2 weeks we had our place booked. Claire was initially our wedding coordinator but transitioned to our photographer after we fell in love with the work she had done. Simple weddings offers comprehensive wedding planning (photography, officiant, coordinator) and for us being out of town and planning the wedding from NY was the perfect fit for us. They helped us plan a wedding in just over 7 months and we could not have asked for a more perfect day. Our coordinator, Desiree, took care of everything from catering, flowers, DJ, cake, lighting, ceremony, and put together all the ideas we had into an unbelievable day. The entire staff from Simple Weddings that helped the day of wedding were professional, organized, and above all so friendly and helpful. As I mentioned above, Claire was the photographer we chose to use (Simple Weddings has a great selection of photographers to choose from) and we couldn't believe the fantastic job she did. She was right there for every special moment and captured the best moments. We found the hardest part to be choosing the photographs we wanted, her fantastic work made that very difficult. We received so many compliments from our guests and I don't think my husband or I had any idea how everything would come together so perfectly. We cannot thank the entire staff at Simple Weddings enough for the absolutely wonderful gorgeous wedding they helped create and make a reality.

Aaron and I married on Pass-a-Grille Beach on September 1st with the professional coordination of Simple Weddings. They were responsive, helpful, and informative and very in tuned to what we wanted for our day. The team that helped us that day was fully focused on our ceremony and making everything special for us. Christine was a huge help beforehand. Kelly was an excellent coordinator, Kelsey did a wonderful job taking photos for us and keeping it light and Trent was an awesome officiant! I am sorry I don't know the sound guy's name but he took the time to go set up the sound system find my mp3 player and set up at reception for us!! Everyone made it about us and not just a job! It was a wonderful experience. Aaron's mother hasn't stopped talking about it!!! Thank you all so much!!

We always dreamed of a destination beach wedding- but I was always worried about how feasible it would be living in New York. Simple weddings did an amazing job- Desiree planned every detail from start to finish- communicating with us via email and phone calls from florida to new york and keeping us informed about every detail. she left no stone unturned. She even brought cold water to us and our guests while we were taking pictures! Claire and Jeff are a perfect team- Jeff was our officient, he was professional, welcoming and well spoken and made us feel so at ease during the ceremony. Claire is always smiling, and a pleasure to work with. she seemed more like a family member than our photographer- she was patient, and warm and non obtrusive while taking pictures. We are in the process of ordering pictures and one is more beautiful than the next. I highly recommend Simple Weddings. They did a beautiful job and we had so much fun working with them!

Federal Power:
The Role of the Power Marketing Administrations in a Restructured Electricity Industry
T-RCED/AIMD-99-229: Published: Jun 24, 1999. Publicly Released: Jun 24, 1999.
Additional Materials:
- Full Report:
(202) 512-6082
Office of Public Affairs
(202) 512-4800
Pursuant to a congressional request, GAO discussed the role of the power marketing administrations (PMA) in a restructured electricity industry, focusing on five goals of deregulating the retail electricity market.
GAO noted that: (1) one major goal of deregulating the retail electricity market is encouraging retail price competition; (2) removing practices that treat potential competitors inconsistently and providing customers with lower electricity prices are two major considerations; (3) the PMAs are generally able to sell power more cheaply than other providers in part because they sell electricity generated almost exclusively by hydropower and because some of the government's costs are not recovered through the PMAs' rates; (4) GAO estimated net financing costs attributable to the PMAs to be about $585 million in fiscal year 1996; (5) unlike the investor-owned utilities, the PMAs are not required to earn a profit; (6) the PMAs and Tennessee Valley Authority (TVA) also have competitive advantages in financing, taxes, and regulatory oversight; (7) protecting the environment is the second broad goal; (8) because the electricity industry is a major source of air pollution, the debate over restructuring includes the question of how changes in how electricity is generated could affect the environment; (9) concern exists that competitive markets may result in increased emissions of pollutants from the burning of fossil fuels; (10) although the mix of sources generating electricity may change, over 50 percent of TVA's power is generated from coal, whereas less than 2 percent of the PMAs' power is generated from coal; (11) the PMAs' hydropower may offer potential environmental advantages over other electricity sources because it is a clean, domestic, and renewable source of energy; (12) however, hydropower facilities can have significant impacts on fish and wildlife habitats; (13) balancing equity among shareholders is the third broad goal; (14) Congress has the option of requiring the PMAs to sell their power at market rates; (15) this would better ensure the full recovery of the appropriated and other debt of about $22 billion through the PMAs' power sales; (16) the fourth broad goal of restructuring is maintaining the reliability of the interstate transmission grid; (17) an issue that directly relates to the PMAs is the maintenance of reserves that can be called upon to meet planned or unforeseen outages by power providers; (18) the last broad goal is promoting deregulation by redefining federal roles, such as those of federal regulatory agencies; and (19) while restructuring has focused largely on deregulating the retail market, some segments of the electricity industry may face new or increased regulations to address market power and consumer protection issues.

Guy Ritchie has welcomed the arrival of another son. Daily Mirror reported that Jacqui Ainsley, the girlfriend of the "Lock, Stock and Two Smoking Barrels" director, delivered the healthy baby boy through an emergency cesarean section at a London hospital at 11 A.M. on Monday, September 4.
According to the tabloid, the 42-year-old filmmaker has informed his ex-wife Madonna about the birth of his baby, but he and Jacqui have yet to decide on a name. A source, meanwhile, told The Sun, "Guy couldn't be prouder. He and Jacqui have spent months getting ready and can't wait to take the baby home."
While the newborn is Jacqui's first child, Guy is already a father to two young boys. From his marriage to Madonna that ended with a divorce in 2008, the man behind the upcoming "Sherlock Holmes: A Game of Shadows" has an 11-year-old biological son named Rocco and an adopted 6-year-old named David Banda.

An Easy Water-Saving Garden Tip
Martha Stewart
Along with the heat wave that's been beating down most of the country, we've also been experiencing a dry spell. If you're anything like me, you're struggling to find good ways to keep your garden alive without using too much water. Here's one super easy tip that I just learned:
Leave it to Martha Stewart to come up with this no-brainer, why didn't I think of that?, idea. Rather than taking produce from your vegetable garden inside to rinse off, simply hose them off right over the plant itself. Use a perforated bowl to collect the veggies, and the water that drains through the bowl will water your plants. It's water time saving!

Okay for a pre-wash, but unless you have a hose approved for drinking water, you'll still need to rinse thoroughly in your sink. Garden hoses leach some nasty things into the water and can harbor bacteria. You can still do that indoor-sink wash in a basin and use the water for potted plants or the flower bed right outside your door.
Somehow I doubt Martha is watering her own veggies, don't you?
What Rural and Rueful said!
This makes a pretty picture but is it really "simple" for your average gardener? Harvesting and washing food is a separate process for good reason. You want to wash your food --and wash it well -- with potable water. Even if I got a lead-free hose, I wouldn't trust an in situ rinse to wash away E. coli.
In Dane County, Wis., we had 3/10 of an inch of water in June. My rain barrels are bone dry and I've had to drag out the hose every week--for the first time in many years. Martha's idea is cute but it doesn't beat aqua cones/soda bottles or a drip irrigation system.
Running water over a lot of vegetables, greens especially, isn't particularly effective. I wash my veggies in a large bowl of tap water. Soil sinks to the bottom and any insects are drowned. That water goes on my houseplants or on the flower beds close to my house. (Or course my cat wants a drink out of it first. Yummy dirt and bug flavored water. :P)
Haha, I only read this post so I can read the comments, as I KNEW everyone would have something to say about the fact that you shouldn't use a hose to wash your food. What strange advice....
When I lived in Southern California we used the "grey water" from the dishes; we just had a tub in the sink and would carry it out the back door to the garden bed...we used castile soap (or other eco-friendly) and the plants never seemed to mind and miraculously we survived.
We water our (native but not edible) garden plants with H2O from the cat water bowls. We use several huge dog-sized bowls but change them every day so it would go to waste otherwise. We container grow on the porch and to be honest we don't really rinse our greens; most of the contamination comes from unclean hands and we wash ours before we handle the edible produce from our container gardens.
I think any water saving tip is a good idea and I especially appreciate advice that doesn't assume I'm a millionaire. I can't stand posts that say "just buy a rain barrel"! or "just buy solar panels!" While I would love to do both those things, I have to stick to creative conservation because we're not made of money.
Since when is hose water so terrible for you? Did no one else grow up drinking water from the hose because they didn't want to go inside? I think this is a pretty good idea!
My hose is specifically marked "not for drinking water".
I am with Potterychick and DramaBB82! Didn't we ALL grow up drinking from the backyard hose?! Or spraying each other with the hose & of course drinking it all in?! My goodness, here we have another version of "Pebbles as Tripping Hazards" at work! We had so much fun as kids how did y'all turn into a generation of crabby parents who think everything is an allergen or hidden danger and a lawsuit in the making?!?! If a garden hose is marked "not for drinking water" then one should not be watering their veggie garden with it! Yes, washing off veggies with a hose in a colander over the garden may be a bit impractical. However, the water coming out of the hose isn't gonna kill you! If you can water your garden with the same water (that has been treated with both chlorine AND ammonia at the waste treatment plant!) coming out of the same hose, then squirting them off in a colander with the same water and hose isn't gonna kill ya! Sheeesh! Or you can rinse your veggies in a dish pan at the kitchen tap (it's the same water that goes through the garden hose!) and pour that into the garden. Grey water is how my compost garden thrives here in the dry south west. And even though, because of the fires and the drought, we are more conservative with the water use than normal, hubby and I still run through the yard occasionally spaying ourselves down with the garden hose and drinking from it like the little kids we still are at heart. And the garden gets a drenching at the same time. And it hasn't killed us. Actually makes us stronger together.
I'm sure the lawyers are responsible for the "not for drinking water" labels on hoses. I've been drinking hose water for a long time with no ill effects.
I'm with Ecuadoriana1. The world needs lots of happy, strong people. Enough of sterility. It makes people snarky.
Although I might have a bit of trouble spaying myself with a hose. Outside. In the garden. Hehe. ;o)
In Australia we have (up until very recently) had several years of drought. Watering gardens is done with grey water (for non-edibles) and excess cooking water where possible for edibles. Most people don't have hoses and trigger nozzles were in line with the water restriction to avoid wastage. We flush our toilet with grey water (bucket in the shower/from washing machine) to save clean water for the garden.
Can I also add, that the garden in the pic would really benefit from some mulch-peastraw, sugar cane mulch etc. Mulching helps avoid water evaporation from the soil.
@ greenrenters- I've been doing the same this with the shower water (using it to flush toilet) for as long as I can remember. That's what we did with the bath water when I was growing up in Ecuador. We also caught water in barrels from drain spouts that came off the roof directly into the bathroom (either through the window or a hole cut into the wall). I spent some time in Adelaide years ago & the people I stayed with used the "bucket in the shower" system for flushing the toilet. So happy to see that other people are aboard the train! We do not need to be using gallons of fresh clean water to flush the toilet! We need fresh clean water for drinking. Priorities!!! Thanks greenrenters for helping spread the word!
good grief why is everyone freaking out??? where i live (asia) no water is safe to drink except bottles. so, i have to wash all my stuff & then rinse that with drinking water. so, just treat this as a pre rinse. yeesh! it's very clever.
Well one could just keep a bowl in the sink and let all of the rinsing water go into that, then take that outdoors. And it could hold a lot more than just the rinsing water from the vegetables.. even dishwashing water is fine in my opinion.
Lead poisoning (the primary risk from drinking from hoses) was not considered a huge hazard until recently. The risk you are under from it depends on what your overall exposure is, but considering how hard it can be to know what level of lead you are being exposed to, and some of the effects of lead poisoning, I would not want to risk it. Heavy metal poisoning is not a "pebble tripping hazard." It happens all the time to people who live perfectly ordinary lives and just happen to live in a place with super-high lead. Like older neighborhoods where people do a lot of gardening: lead from paint dust gets in the soil, people eat food grown in the soil. And the acceptable lead exposure is being adjusted downward all the time.
Also, this tip doesn't save you much water; using a hose requires that you fill the entire length of the hose with water. I use far less water by rinsing my vegetables in a bowl in the sink, and I can use that water in the garden just as easily.

The trouble with education in this country starts and ends with unions. They are out-of- touch museum relics, fitting for a day that used rotary presses to distribute the news, but wildly inappropriate for an age that's both wired and wireless.
Unions have prevented, and continue to prevent, much-needed reforms in education, public finance and government. They cultivate a sense of entitlement wholly out of order for the times, which call for more self-reliance and entrepreneurship.
Frankly, unions suck.
They suck the money out of our wallets; they suck productivity out of workers; and suck up all the leavings from the...

The health benefits of juicing are resounding to say the least. Though many of you may be considering juicing, it can be overwhelming for those that are just beginning the process. From initial purchase to methods and cleaning, this article will provide you with tips and advice you need to get started in the world of juicing machines.
Never add more than one new vegetable to your juice mix at a time. If you do not like the taste of the juice, or your digestive system does not react well to your new juice blend, you will not know what vegetable to reduce or avoid if you add a bunch of new veggies in the same batch.
Learn to love wheat grass if you can. Start your wheat grass relationship off very slowly as it is an extremely strong tasting plant. The nutrient benefits are out of this world but some people think the taste is as well. Use strongly flavored fruits and small amounts of wheatgrass and work your way up to larger amounts over time.
If you're going to start a juicing diet, it may be helpful to start with a few days of eating primarily fruits and vegetables before going over to all-juice. This helps reduce dependence on sugar, flour, and other common diet staples that can make a juice diet difficult to swallow.
Juicing can be expensive- if you're making a few wheat shots a day as well as larger fruit and vegetable juices, expect your grocery bill to pile up. One way to reduce costs is to use primarily carrots, which are very inexpensive compared to the amount of juice they produce.
Bananas and papayas do not seem to do well in a juicing machine. You can still use them with juice, but it is best to stick them in a blender. They are very thick, and tend to work better when making fruit smoothies or any type of frozen dessert that you make.
Ask your friends and family if they'd like to go in on purchases in bulk at local farms with you so you can buy more and get larger discounts. Apple farms, for example, will sell you bushel after bushel for decreasing costs per pound. Take a few cars up, load the back with apples, and share with everyone! They don't have to be juicing machines to enjoy fresh produce.
There are a million-and-one recipes of items to include in your juicing machines. You can try a combination like apple with carrot and ginger, or celery and pear. My favorites are apple with lemon and pear, apple with cinnamon and honey, and, my daughter's favorite, banana with mango and orange. Try new ideas to find your own favorites!
Juicing is a great way to drink all the nutrients you need for the day, but you also have to be conscious of the amount of sugars you're taking in. If you're having a drink with a lot of fruit or high-glycemic vegetables, drink less than you would if it were mostly low-glycemic items.
