Sorry, no, I forgot about CUPS.
I've looked in cups and it says the same thing:
I'll go and get the PC in a minute and check all the steps through again.

At this point as I have recommend too many on this forum is to get an Ethernet to USB adaptor and just add the printer to your network. Then any computer can print directly to the printer via the network. No need to share the printer from any computer, no need for any computer to turned on and running (not in sleep mode) for someone to print. In the long run you will be much happier and it will just work.
See the links below; please note that I have not use any of these devices because I am in a mostly PC only environment:

Hi, thanks for the idea. I did not know this was possible. I may well get one at some point. In the mean time I would like to proceed with this method.
I have tried to do it again. The step I failed was 5/6 as stated. I get the error mentioned:
He says to check the settings on the Mac. I do not know which settings he is referring to...?
I am pretty sure I'm putting the address (IP or name "Patrick") correctly, as if I enter something other than those I get a different warning ("server name could not be resolved").
EDIT: My Mac's firewall is currently off.

Machine Name: \\JERRYS-PC
Printer Share Name: Canon9500onJerrysDesk
Note you can use spaces (i.e. Canon 9500 on Jerry's Desk) however I have found this to be more problems than it is worth.
Port Number: 515
Queue Name: print or lpt or lpt1 or raw or or or, every vendor tends to use a different queue name. You may have to google search it.
So in mapping the printer you use \\jerrys-pc\Canon9500onJerrysDesk, then in the print queue settings you make sure you have the correct port and queue name (i.e. lpt)
I hope this helps -WS

Sorry MMP was commuting...
the other setting was related to the firewall on your mac. it could be that it's not set correctly to allow connection via the lpr port.
check on mac;
then test again.also as per above the connection should be done using an ip address. AFAIK Netbios isn't supported on a mac.
Once you have tested, whether it works or not, turn your FIREWALL back on. it's quite important...lol. we'll get it working properly if that's the problem.
let us know how that goes.

Hi Guys,
I am somewhat confused by your responses. This is the one and only window where I can enter the relevant information:
I understand the info posted above, but I don't see what I'm supposed to do with it...?
I already know the print queue name ("Canon_Pro9500" - as per the macguy blog) and I know the IP address ***.***.1.2) or name of the computer ("Patrick"), but entering this info fails. I'm sure the name/IP address are working because it gives a different response if I enter incorrect info (see previous post). I have tried both the IP address and the name with the same dialog box response.
I tried checking/unchecking the firewall option as suggested, although I'm not sure of the relevance of that since the firewall has not been on while getting these issues.
|My System Specs
|21 Jan 2011
Hey MMP,
was thinking about this all day...in amongst other techy type tasks.
can you add another print queue for the same printer to your mac using CUPS, this time can you keep the name of the port below 12 characters..just call it something like 'macprint' or similar, then follow the windows macguy script from the windows config bit.
let us know how you go?
|My System Specs
|22 Jan 2011
Thanks again. Have tried as you suggest and simply get the same problem.
|My System Specs
|22 Jan 2011
Scratch that. I think this is solved now.
After trying the LPR method with my new printer called "macprint" I just gave it another whirl by adding "macprint" through the normal, Windows wireless printer dialogue. It worked!
Because I was not happy with the printer being called that I set up a third printer with a more accurate name "CanonPro". I also followed the CUPS instruction to fill in a description and location. For some reason this second attempt failed, and this was either because the description of the printer was what Windows needed and so I had the wrong one, or because Windows needed restarting before it could see it on the network. Not sure which it was as it's been a long day.
The good part is that I now have this working. Thanks to you both and to anta in particular for his tireless efforts.

I wasn't really looking forward to learning MAC on a VM to solve this one.
really pleased it's sorted for you.

Hotspot (Wi-Fi)
|This article needs additional citations for verification. (January 2012)
|Part of a series on
Common types
Radiation sources / regions
A hotspot is a site that offers Internet access over a wireless local area network (WLAN) through the use of a router connected to a link to an Internet service provider. Hotspots typically use Wi-Fi technology.
Hotspots may be found in coffee shops and various other public establishments in many developed urban areas throughout the world.
Public access wireless local area networks (LANs) were first proposed by Henrik Sjödin at the NetWorld+Interop conference in The Moscone Center in San Francisco in August 1993.[1] Sjödin did not use the term hotspot but referred to publicly accessible wireless LANs.
The first commercial venture to attempt to create a public local area access network was a firm founded in Richardson, Texas known as PLANCOM (Public Local Area Network Communications). The founders of that venture, Mark Goode, Greg Jackson, and Brett Stewart dissolved the firm in 1998, while Goode and Jackson created MobileStar Networks. The firm was one of the first to sign such public access locations as Starbucks,[2] American Airlines,[3] and Hilton Hotels.[4] The company was sold to Deutsche Telecom in 2001, who then converted the name of the firm into "T-Mobile Hotspot." It was then that the term "hotspot" entered the popular vernacular as a reference to a location where a publicly accessible wireless LAN is available.
The public can use a laptop or other suitable portable device to access the wireless connection (usually Wi-Fi) provided. Of the estimated 150 million laptops, 14 million PDAs, and other emerging Wi-Fi devices sold per year for the last few years, most include the Wi-Fi feature.
For venues that have broadband Internet access, offering wireless access is as simple as configuring one access point (AP), in conjunction with a router and connecting the AP to the Internet connection. A single wireless router combining these functions may suffice.[5]
The iPass 2014 interactive map, that shows data provided by the analysts Maravedis Rethink, shows that in December 2014 there are 46,000,000 hotspots worldwide and more than 22,000,000 roamable hotspots. More than 10,900 hotspots are on trains, planes and airports (Wi-Fi in motion) and more than 7,500,000 are "branded" hotspots (retail, cafés, hotels). The region with the largest number of public hotspots is Europe, followed by North America and Asia. IPass Map available at this link
Security is a serious concern in connection with Hotspots. There are three possible attack vectors. First, there is the wireless connection between the client and the access point. This needs to be encrypted, so that the connection cannot be eavesdropped or attacked by a man-in-the-middle-attack. Second, there is the Hotspot itself. The WLAN encryption ends at the interface, then travels its network stack unencrypted and then travels over the wired connection up to the BRAS of the ISP. Third, there is the connection from the Access Point to the BRAS of the ISP. ...
The safest method when accessing the Internet over a Hotspot, with unknown security measures, is end-to-end encryption. Examples of strong end-to-end encryption are HTTPS and SSH.
Hotspots are often found at airports, bookstores, coffee shops, department stores, fuel stations, hotels, hospitals, libraries, public pay phones, restaurants, RV parks and campgrounds, supermarkets, train stations, and other public places. Additionally, many schools and universities have wireless networks in their campuses.
ABI Research reported there was a total of 4.9 million global Wi-Fi hotspots in 2012 and projected that number would surpass 6.3 million by the end of 2013.[6] The latest [[1]] Industry Report outlines a positive scenario for the Wi-Fi market: a steady annual increase from 5.2m public hotspots in 2012 to 10.5m public hotspots in 2018.
|This section does not cite any references or sources. (January 2012)
Free hotspots operate in two ways:
- Using an open public network is the easiest way to create a free hotspot. All that is needed is a Wi-Fi router. Similarly, when users of private wireless routers turn off their authentication requirements, opening their connection, intentionally or not, they permit piggybacking (sharing) by anyone in range.[citation needed]
- Closed public networks use a HotSpot Management System to control access to hotspots. This software runs on the router itself or an external computer allowing operators to authorize only specific users to access the Internet. Providers of such hotspots often associate the free access with a menu, membership, or purchase limit. Operators may also limit each user's available bandwidth (upload and download speed) to ensure that everyone gets a good quality service. Often this is done through service-level agreements.[citation needed]
Commercial hotspots[edit]
A commercial hotspot may feature:
- A captive portal / login screen / splash page that users are redirected to for authentication and/orpayment. The captive portal / splash page sometimes includes the [login] buttons.
- A payment option using a credit card, iPass, PayPal, or another payment service (voucher-based Wi-Fi)
- A walled garden feature that allows free access to certain sites
- Service-oriented provisioning to allow for improved revenue
- Data analytics and data capture tools, to analyze and export data from Wi-Fi clients
Many services provide payment services to hotspot providers, for a monthly fee or commission from the end-user income. For example, Amazingports can be used to set up hotspots that intend to offer both fee-based and free internet access, and ZoneCD is a Linux distribution that provides payment services for hotspot providers who wish to deploy their own service.[citation needed]
Major airports and business hotels are more likely to charge for service, though most hotels provide free service to guests; and increasingly, small airports and airline lounges offer free service.[citation needed]. Retail shops, public venues and offices usually provide a free Wi-Fi SSID for their guests and visitors.
Roaming services are expanding among major hotspot service providers. With roaming service the users of a commercial provider can have access to other providers' hotspots, either free of charge or for extra fees, which users will usually be charged on an access-per-minute basis.[citation needed]
Software hotspots[edit]
Many Wi-Fi adapters built into or easily added to consumer computers and mobile devices include the functionality to operate as private or mobile hotspots, sometimes referred to as "mi-fi".[7] Manufacturers can enable this functionality through driver-level support. Modern consumer operating systems, including Apple OS X 10.6 and later,[citation needed] added features to support this. However, some service providers, such as AT&T,[8] Sprint,[9] and T-Mobile[10] charge users for this service.
Third-party software vendors offer applications to allow users to operate their own hotspot, whether to access the Internet when on the go, share an existing connection, or extend the range of another hotspot. Third party implementations of software hotspots include:
- Antamedia HotSpot software[11]
- Connectify Hotspot[12]
- Jaze Hotspot Gateway by Jaze Networks[13]
- Hot Spot Network Manager (HSNM)[14]
- Virtual Router[15]
- Tanaza [16]
Hotspot 2.0[edit]
Hotspot 2.0, also known as HS2 and Wi-Fi Certified Passpoint,[17] is an approach to public access Wi-Fi by the Wi-Fi Alliance. The idea is for mobile devices to automatically join a Wi-Fi subscriber service whenever the user enters a Hotspot 2.0 area, in order to provide better bandwidth and services-on-demand to end-users, while also alleviating mobile carrier infrastructure of traffic overheads.
Hotspot 2.0 is based on the IEEE 802.11u standard, which is a set of protocols published in 2011 to enable cellular-like roaming. If the device supports 802.11u and is subscribed to a Hotspot 2.0 service it will automatically connect and roam.[18][19][20]
Supported handsets[edit]
- Some Chinese tablet computers[citation needed]
- iOS 7 devices[21]
- Some Samsung Galaxy smartphones[22]
|Net traffic
|User needs
|not time-critical
The so-called "User-Fairness-Model[23] " is a dynamic billing model, which allows a volume-based billing, charged only by the amount of payload (data, video, audio). Moreover, the tariff is classified by net traffic and user needs (Pommer, p. 116ff).
If the net traffic increases, then the user has to pay the next higher tariff class. By the way the user is asked for if he still wishes the session also by a higher traffic class. Moreover, in time-critical applications (video, audio) a higher class fare is charged, than for non time-critical applications (such as reading Web pages, e-mail).
|Net traffic
|User needs
|not time-critical
|low priced
The "User-fairness model" can be implemented with the help of EDCF (IEEE 802.11e). A EDCF user priority list shares the traffic in 3 access categories (data, video, audio) and user priorities (UP) (Pommer, p. 117):
- Data [UP 0|2]
- Video [UP 5|4]
- Audio [UP 7|6]
If the net traffic increases, then the frames of the particular access category (AC) are assigned a low priority value (e.g. video UP 5 to UP 4). This is also, if the data transfer is not time-critical.
See Service-oriented provisioning for viable implementations
Security concerns[edit]
Some hotspots authenticate users; however, this does not prevent users from viewing network traffic using packet sniffers.[24]
Some vendors provide a download option that deploys WPA support. This conflicts with enterprise configurations that have solutions specific to their internal WLAN.[citation needed]
In order to provide robust security to hotspot users, the Wi-Fi Alliance is developing a new hotspot program that aims to encrypt hotspot traffic with WPA2 security. The program was scheduled to launch in the first half of 2012.[dated info][citation needed]
Legal concerns[edit]
Providers of public hotspot access may incur legal obligations, including privacy requirements and liability for use for unlawful purposes, depending on the jurisdiction.[25]
The hotspot providers should also concern about children safety, by stopping children exposure to objectionable contents on-line and by monitoring their internet usage to avoid illegal behaviours, cyberbulling and online predators.
European Union[edit]
- Data Retention Directive Hotspot owners must retain key user statistics for 12 months.
- Directive on Privacy and Electronic Communications
United Kingdom[edit]
- Data Protection Act 1998 The hotspot owner must retain individual's information within the confines of the law.
- Digital Economy Act 2010 Deals with, among other things, Copyright infringement, and imposes fines of up to £250,000 for contravention.

Hit with big penalties, Portland still wins title
PORTLAND, Ore. (AP)
Hit with unprecedented penalties by the Western Hockey League back in November, the Portland Winterhawks not only prevailed, they won the junior hockey league's championship.
''We could have used it as an excuse to wipe away the season,'' Dallas Stars prospect Taylor Peters said of the sanctions, which included the suspension of the team's head coach for the balance of the season. ''But we used it as fuel.''
The Winterhawks claimed the Ed Chynoweth Cup with a 5-1 Game 6 victory over the Edmonton Oil Kings on Sunday. Ty Rattie had a hat trick in the deciding win.
On Tuesday, thousands of fans came out as the city celebrated the title with a noontime rally. Many supporters sported T-shirts reading ''Portland Strikes Back.''
The championship - and the cheers - were sweet revenge for the Winterhawks, who in November got hit with stiff penalties by the league for player-benefit violations. The WHL took away several draft picks and fined the team $200,000, in addition to suspending Winterhawks coach and general manager Mike Johnston for the rest of this season.
The Winterhawks acknowledged some of the league's findings, which included:
-Over the last five years, seven families were provided flights two-to-four times per season based on financial need and their distance from Portland.
-Twice in the last five years the team paid for two players to each have a one-week summer training regimen.
-The Winterhawks provided a cellphone for their team captain for a period of three seasons.
The WHL found no violations involving monetary payments made to players, their families or agents, or any violations related to the league's educational packages, the team said.
What the Winterhawks took issue with was the severity of the penalties, including Johnston's banishment.
''After fully cooperating with the league's investigation, we were extremely surprised at the excessive nature of the sanctions, and we don't feel they are in line with the scope of the violations we were found to have committed,'' Johnston said in a statement at the time.
Johnston wasn't allowed contact with the team during the season, but he was granted permission from the league to meet the Winterhawks on Sunday night when they landed in Portland after winning the championship. Some 1,000 fans greeted the plane along with him.
The outpouring is not unusual for Portland, which is known for its fervent support of both the NBA's Trail Blazers and Major League Soccer's Timbers. The Winterhawks, many of whom are teenagers prepping for the NHL, were drawing 10,000 fans down the stretch for games played at the Rose Garden Arena.
''It's like your kids, when you step back and see them do really good things,'' Johnston said. ''You can't help but be proud.''
He was also with the team on Tuesday for the rally in Portland's downtown Pioneer Courthouse Square. When he stood to speak, a fan shouted ''Coach of the Year!''
Assistant general manager and assistant coach Travis Green assumed Johnston's duties on an interim basis after the penalties were handed down and the Winterhawks finished with a franchise-best 57 wins in their 72 total games.
''Just having him around and able to enjoy this with the rest of us is important,'' Green said about Johnston.
Portland had been to the WHL finals in each of the past two seasons but failed to come away with the trophy until this season. The Winterhawks last won the league's championship in the 1997-98 season.
With the WHL title, the Winterhawks advanced to the Memorial Cup later this month. The four-team event is played between three Canadian Hockey League champions and host Saskatoon.
''Hopefully in two weeks we'll be back with another trophy,'' Rattie, a St. Louis Blues prospect, told the cheering crowd.
To which fan Beth Snider commented: ''How can you not love these kids?''

Facebook Fit: How The Yarn Co. Uses Facebook To Market To An International Audience
I caught up today with Tavy Ronen, co-owner of The Yarn Co., a yarn shop in Manhattan, to discuss how her small business markets its products around the world using Facebook. The Yarn Co. has six employees, including Ronen and her brother, the other co-owner. Ronen was on a panel at the Facebook Fit conference for small businesses Tuesday at Skylight Clarkson Square in New York. I asked Ronen how she chooses which countries to market to using the social network, why she doesn't like to schedule posts ahead of time, how lookalike audiences has helped The Yarn Co. boost its number of Facebook fans in only three weeks, and more.

Over the past 40 years, many surveys have asked women if they've ever faked an orgasm, and consistently, half to two-thirds (53 percent to 65 percent) have said yes they have at least once.
But men faking orgasm? That's unheard of. Well, no, not exactly. Many sex therapists offer anecdotal reports, and a 1981 study of 280 college students (185 women and 95 men) showed the familiar rate among women (60 percent)—and faking by 36 percent of the men. But that was the only real study, until recently.
In 2010, researchers at the University of Kansas asked 281 undergraduates (180 men and 101 women) to complete an anonymous sex survey that included questions about faking orgasm. Consistent with previous findings, two-thirds of the women (67 percent) said they'd pretended at least once—and 28 percent of the men said the same.
While not a nationally representative sample, the participants included a reasonable demographic cross-section of college students: largely white, but some Asian, Hispanic, and African-American, and largely heterosexual, but some gay/lesbian or bi. Pretenders and non-pretenders reported generally similar sexual experience, but the fakers were more experienced, so they'd had more opportunities to pretend. Fakers were also sexually more adventurous, reporting more masturbation, oral sex, and anal play.

By Katie W. Johnson
March 13 --Although the Securities and Exchange Commission doesn't require companies to disclose cybersecurity risks and incidents, companies should establish a disclosure framework in light of the SEC's cybersecurity guidance, attorneys said March 7 at the International Association of Privacy Professionals Global Privacy Summit.
General counsels have identified cybersecurity as their number one issue three years in a row in one survey, Mary Ellen Callahan, chair of the Privacy and Information Governance Practice at Jenner & Block LLP and former chief privacy officer at the Department of Homeland Security, said.
The Securities and Exchange Commission began to review public company disclosures on cybersecurity only two years ago, Elaine Wolff, partner at Jenner & Block and moderator of the session on the SEC and cybersecurity, said. In October 2011, the SEC's Division of Corporation Finance released cybersecurity risk and incident disclosure guidance.
The SEC plans to review its cybersecurity policies this year, starting with asset managers, Wolff said. The SEC's renewed interest stems not only from specific breaches, but also from pressure from Sen. Jay Rockefeller (D.-W.Va.), she said.
In April 2013, Rockfeller sent a letter to SEC Chairman Mary Jo White urging her to issue formal guidance on disclosure of cybersecurity risks . White responded the following month, explaining that her staff was reviewing public companies' disclosure of cybersecurity risks with an eye to whether additional guidance is needed .
Wolff also noted that the SEC plans to hold a March 26 round table on cybersecurity issues .
The SEC is developing a data breach preparedness test for companies and others registered with the commission (see related report).
The SEC's cybersecurity guidance is informal guidance, Wolff said. The important thing to know about the guidance is that "there is no existing rule, requirement or regulation that actually references cybersecurity," she said.
Materiality is the first question a company should ask when making a cybersecurity disclosure, Wolff said. But "it's been my observation that many security breaches don't come near the materiality threshold," Nicole Maddrey, vice president, deputy general counsel and assistant secretary at Graham Holdings, said.
Callahan asked the panel whether a company should use boilerplate language to disclose the potential of breaches. "Once everyone includes a risk factor, how meaningful is a risk factor?" Tangela Richter, general counsel, direct bank and brokerage at Capital One, said. At the same time, Maddrey said, a company doesn't want to print a "roadmap" of its vulnerabilities.
Callahan also emphasized the importance of involving a company's board and audit committee in addressing cybersecurity risks. For example, cybersecurity education should be mandatory for directors, board members should understand a company's "risk profile" and a company should have a board-level reporting system, according to the speakers' presentation.
A separate panel session at the summit focused on how privacy professionals can better educate chief executive officers on cybersecurity risks (see related report).
Companies should avoid a discussion of "generic risk factors" in the "Risk Factors" section of their disclosures, Richter said.
Areas to address as risk factors include the probability of cybersecurity incidents, the quantitative and qualitative magnitude of cybersecurity risks, the potential costs and consequences of any incidents, preventive actions taken to reduce risks and any threats or attacks of which the company is aware, she said.
The risk factors section is where a company discloses material breaches that have occurred and how it has dealt with them, according to the speakers' presentation. A company should include a separate heading for cybersecurity risks, according to the presentation.
The "Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations (MD&A)" section is the "meat" of a company's financial disclosure, Wolff and Maddrey said.
If a company has experienced a cybersecurity incident, the MD&A section is where the company discusses costs related to the incident, Maddrey said. Those costs include insurance coverage, ongoing costs, the company's overall financial condition and future financial results, she said.
In the Description of Business section, a company should discuss whether a cybersecurity incident impaired a product's future viability, Wolff said.
Callahan asked the panel why Target Corp. didn't immediately file a Form 8-K after it announced a data breach in December 2013.
Form 8-K filings are required when publicly traded companies face "unscheduled material events or corporate changes," according to the SEC.
In December 2013, Target announced a hacking breach of payment card information for approximately 40 million customers and later revealed that contact information for 70 million customers had also been compromised .
On Feb. 26, the company filed a Form 8-K in which it discussed the breach (13 PVLR 434, 3/10/14).
A Form 8-K is what a company files to put investors on notice that an event occurred, Maddrey explained. A data breach isn't one of the listed events that trigger such a notice, she said.
The SEC guidance referenced the list of required disclosures under its Regulation S-K, saying that cybersecurity issues could be considered in each of the disclosure areas.
Form 8-K triggers haven't been changed since 2004 and aren't likely to change, Wolff said. However, the SEC is reviewing Regulation S-K, and "I could see the SEC say you need to discuss cybersecurity," she said.
Until that trigger is changed, there will likely be more disclosures like Target's Form 8-K, Maddrey said.

EDM Legend Paul Oakenfold Scoffs At Paris Hilton Being Named A 'Top 5 DJ'
In case you missed it last week, Paris Hilton has gone on the record to say that she is one of the top five DJs in the world right now. We sincerely hope her statement was actually a joke (good one Paris) because aside from residencies in Ibiza and Vegas, this girl has yet to earn her diamond-encrusted headphones on the decks before putting herself anywhere near the legends that dominate the genre.
One of those legends is Paul Oakenfold, a man who probably spun at Paris Hilton's first rave. When TMZ asked Paul about Paris's statement, he took the news rather well, posing a smile of disbelief before politely saying, "I haven't heard her DJ, but she's not one of the top five DJs."

Itron Announces Fourth Quarter And Fiscal 2013 Financial Results
Itron, Inc. (NASDAQ:ITRI) announced today financial results for its fourth quarter and full year ended December 31, 2013. Highlights include:
- Quarterly and full year revenues of $524 million and $1.9 billion;
- Quarterly and full year GAAP net loss per share of $3.93 and $3.74, inclusive of a $173 million non-cash goodwill impairment charge recorded during the quarter resulting in $4.12 per share impact, net of tax;
- Quarterly and full year non-GAAP diluted earnings per share of 36 cents and $1.90, inclusive of a 36 cent impact to the quarter for a discrete tax item;
- Quarterly and full year adjusted EBITDA of $50 million and $168 million;
- Twelve-month backlog of $549 million and total backlog of $1.1 billion;
- Quarterly bookings of $527 million; and
- Implemented new segment reporting for Electricity, Gas and Water.
"Our fourth quarter revenue and non-GAAP operating income results reflect continued improvement in our performance," said Philip Mezey, Itron's president and chief executive officer. "I was pleased with the increase in smart volumes, 13 percent growth in bookings, our execution on our restructuring plans and our efforts to lower costs and expenses. While fourth quarter results were impacted by a goodwill impairment charge in our Electricity segment and a discrete tax charge, the steps we have taken in 2013 position Itron to be more competitive in a tough economy and global marketplace. Despite a more conservative outlook, I am encouraged by the progress of our ongoing efforts to improve financial performance and build a solid foundation for future growth and profitability."
Financial Results
Revenues were $524 million for the quarter and $1.9 billion for the full year, compared with $523 million and $2.2 billion in the same periods in 2012. Changes in foreign currency exchange rates unfavorably impacted revenue by approximately $3 million for the quarter and $15 million for the year. Excluding the impact from foreign currency, revenues for the quarter increased $3 million and decreased $215 million for the full year compared with the same periods in 2012. For the quarter, increased revenues in both the Electricity and Water segments were partially offset by a decrease in the Gas segment revenues. The decrease for the full year period was driven by lower Electricity segment revenues primarily related to the completion of several OpenWay smart meter projects in North America and lower Gas segment revenues, partially offset by an increase in Water segment revenues.

Livingston Parish Council vote fails to increase tax incentive for Juban Crossing development
POSTED: Friday, July 26, 2013 - 4:00am
UPDATED: Friday, July 26, 2013 - 11:54am
Livingston, LA (NBC33) — After more than an hour and a half of spirited debate, the Livingston Parish Council failed to vote on an increased tax incentive for the Juban Crossing development.
At issue is the amount of sales tax revenue the developer would be able to keep to put towards bonds to finance the infrastructure needed for the shopping mall.
The council had previously approved giving the developer 40 percent of the local sales taxes to help it finance the project. The ordinance up for debate Thursday night would increase that amount to 75 percent, of which roughly 62.5 percent would go towards bonds.
"There's a lot of rumors going out there that's not true that you're going to give 100 percent of the sales tax," Councilman Marshall Harris said, "and that's not true."
But supporters and critics alike often contradicted and confused themselves, mixing ratios and percentages while discussing Juban Crossing in comparison to other tax incentive financed (TIF) projects, such as the Bass Pro Shops in Denham Springs.
"Is there a way that you can, we can table this for now, 'til we can get some of that information, so that we can show everybody what the numbers are?" asked Councilwoman Cindy Wale. "Because the numbers don't lie; the numbers are the numbers."
The developer has said that Juban Crossing will be built regardless of how much money Livingston Parish kicks in. The only difference will be in the quality of the mall.
"I want to know how the parish will benefit from increasing the amount of money we are allotting to them," said Taryn Creekbaum, of Walker.
"The ad valorem tax, property tax, that we're going to receive off of this development will far exceed anything that we're, quote, giving up," countered Parish President Layton Ricks.
Chance Parent was the most outspoken opponent on the council. He argued that giving 40 percent of the tax revenue was more than enough.
"To sit here and make a decision, as a business owner, to give up everything, is that a good business decision for this parish?" he asked.
"This parish is suffering financially. And we're going to continue to suffer."
"You can't give up something that you don't have," Councilman Delos Blackwell responded. "And I can't see...we keep saying, 'we're giving it up, we're giving it up.' You can't give something up if you don't have it, and we don't have it right now."
Creekbaum pointed out that giving such a large amount of future tax revenue could set a bad precedent for the parish.
"Then what will happen," she asked the council, "when the next developer comes before you and promotes his development as the crown jewel of the Walker exit? The Satsuma exit? The Livingston exit? And so on."
Ricky Goff was the only council member who wanted to approve the funding increase Thursday night. He noted that many residents of Livingston Parish choose to live there for the low crime rate and quality school system, but they work in Baton Rouge.
"It will keep those jobs right here in our parish. The construction jobs, the permanent jobs, etc. It'll keep them here," he said.
"We leave because we want to go shop, cause we ain't got no other place to shop. So we definitely will keep our dollars here in our parish."
Goff's motion to approve the ordinance died when nobody stepped forward to second it.
The council can reintroduce the funding increase at its next meeting on August 8, with another public hearing four weeks after that.

Violeta Arnobit - 2010
Watch Hawaii News Now video
Violeta Arnobit and her husband embarked on the risky venture of starting a small business when she was pregnant with their fourth child. Working as a nurse in home health care in the 1980s, she saw an opportunity to provide quality products and services to enable a better quality of life for Hawaii's aging population. Violeta had little business experience and virtually no start-up capital, but she trusted her instinct above the security of a steady paycheck. Violeta set up a home office in her daughter's room and created a warehouse in the family garage. After several precarious years of operating losses, Ace Medical, Inc. flourished and the business achieved $1 million in sales by 1999.
Originally from the Philippines, Violeta grew up around small business. Her grandparents owned a gas station and bus service, and as a young girl she ran the cash register at her parents' neighborhood grocery store. The family immigrated to New York City with very humble means. Violeta's personal and professional successes make her a leader among Filipino women, health-care providers, and all women in Hawaii.
This accomplished entrepreneur is still a nurse at heart; she personally takes 24 hour service calls to respond to emergencies and attend to client needs. Her commitment to patient care is shown through her involvement with the Filipino Nurses Association of Hawaii. As President of the Association, she promoted educational programs and developed networking opportunities for nurses to build their careers. Among her many accolades, Violeta was recognized with the Nurse of the Year Excellence in Leadership Award in 2009.
Faye Kennedy- 2010
Since arriving in Honolulu in 1978, Faye Kennedy has worked to make Hawaii a better place. She strives for equal opportunity and equal treatment for all people. Her tools are education and advocacy, and her engagement comes in the form of articles and letters to the editor, participation in panel discussions, legislative hearings, community and classroom forums, and organizing for a range of causes.
The fruits of Faye's efforts are experienced locally and nationally, at all levels of community. Among her contributions, Faye was instrumental in founding the Hawaii Commission on Civil Rights and was a leader in establishing the Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. Day as a state holiday in Hawaii. She also promoted diversity and gender equity by organizing a series of events to honor Dr. Donnis Thompson, a trailblazer in UH women's athletics and the implementation of Title IX legislation.
Faye provides a critical perspective on the African American experience and contributes to the integrity of Hawaii as a multicultural, inclusive community. Level-headed and compassionate, Faye is willing to get involved in controversial issues, especially in support of individuals who are traditionally excluded, unfairly treated, or unable to advocate for themselves. Faye has been known to courageously take an unpopular stand when her support is needed, despite possible repercussions to her personally.
Faye is currently Co-chair of the Hawaii Friends of Civil Rights and President of the Hawaii Women's Political Caucus. She has been recognized for her advocacy and civic participation by the Honolulu City Council, Who's Who of American Women, and Hawaii Literacy, Inc., to name a few.
Nanci Kreidman - 2010
Nanci Kreidman is a voice for those who cannot or will not speak for themselves. She is a fighter for women and children for whom "home" is a place of fear, pain and chaos. Some victims survive; others do not. Nanci speaks for them all.
Violence against women is an unrelenting problem to which Nanci Kreidman has dedicated her professional life. As CEO of Domestic Violence Action Center, Nanci is the go-to spokesperson for the issue of domestic violence and a leader among agencies working for change. She has partnered with educational institutions and spearheaded statewide coalitions addressing the many layers of domestic abuse, from interpersonal to systemic. The recent DVAC campaign, Hiding in Plain Sight, stressed that domestic violence is not restricted to specific socioeconomic groups. Through education and awareness, Nanci seeks to prevent abuse and raise awareness in order to stop violence before it escalates catastrophically.
On a given day, Nanci's job may take her from testifying in a criminal case to teaching teens to spot early signs of abuse to being a surrogate "auntie" to young victims in need. Nanci possesses the vigor and resiliency required to work in the field of domestic violence. Her stamina is matched with an ethical compass that guides her organizational leadership. She strives for gender and racial equality through the daily activities of her own organization as well as any committee or coalition on which she serves.
The YWCA joins a list of organizations that have recognized Nanci for her service and achievements, including Soroptomists Hawaii, Hawaii Women Lawyers and the Salvation Army.
All but one of the touring ensembles in the Hawaii Youth Opera Chorus are given Italian names. The highest level touring choir is called Nā Leo Kūho'okahi, which translates, "Voices Which Stand Together As One." Members of this elite group are vocal leaders as well as role-models for the younger performers of HYOC. A model of excellence, fellowship and reverence, Na Leo Kūho'okahi exemplifies the powerful standard set by its director, Nola Nahulu.
Through her work as Director of Hawaii Youth Opera Chorus and numerous organizations on Oahu, Nola has impacted the Hawaii arts community for over 25 years.
Since Nola began working for HYOC, membership has grown from a sparse 30 children to over 200 members performing in nine different ensembles. In 2011 the group will celebrate its 50th anniversary. Music education is the focus of HYOC; members have the opportunity to study keyboard, theory and hula. The individual and institutional success stories that have emerged over the years are largely attributable to Nola's leadership. Young opera performers transform children from bashful children to poised young adults throughout their tenure with HYOC.
Born and raised in Makaha, Nola's parents drove to town every weekend for Nola and her sister to take ballet classes at the Honolulu YWCA. Nola graduated from Kamehameha Schools and went on to earn her Bachelor's at Whitman College and her Master's at UH-Manoa. Nola has served as choral director for Hawaii Opera Theater, Kawaiaha'o Church and University of Hawai'i. She is the founder and director of the Kawaiolaonapukanileo ensemble, a group dedicated to the preservation of the Hawaiian choral music genre.
Leslie Wilcox - 2010
Leslie Wilcox became a familiar face and a household name in Hawaii as a top-rated news anchor for KHON and KGMB Television. In more than 30 years in newspaper and broadcast journalism, she earned a reputation for integrity and thorough reporting. She held virtually every reporting beat, moderated live election debates, and produced a series of TV documentaries, including "At Any Cost: The Rescue of the Lost Battalion."
Leslie is also known for her compassion and volunteerism. She co-founded the Lōkahi Giving Project, and for two decades spent untold hours outside her work in news, helping provide emergency assistance and holiday provisions for working individuals and families in Hawaii.
Three years ago, Leslie combined her passion for storytelling, lifelong learning and the nonprofit sector. She took the helm of Hawaii's own public television station and multi-media organization, PBS Hawaii. Today, Leslie is credited with revitalizing PBS Hawaii into a vibrant, locally oriented people's station. She says her leadership style is collaborative and that any advances are the result of working alongside many others.
Despite a dreary economy in these first years of Leslie's tenure, PBS Hawaii has strengthened local programming and local engagement, expanded children's educational shows, and brought in trusted international news, including the BBC World News and NHK World TV from Asia. The station is creating the first statewide student news network in the country, called Hiki Nō, meaning "can do." It's an innovative digital media program which will help students develop 21st-century workforce skills, and inform citizens about young people's interests and concerns in communities large and small throughout the state.
Leslie, born and raised in Hawaii, lives on Oahu's North Shore. She and her husband have a blended family, with four grown children and three young grandchildren.
She is an example of first-rate professionalism, with down-to-earth charm and extraordinary energy.

2014 Honda Accord V6 Touring
America's midsize sedan segment is one of the most crowded and fiercely competitive in the business. The Toyota Camry has long been our nation's best seller, while the Honda Accord has dutifully come in second place, like some sort of codependent Cal Naughton Jr. riding Ricky Bobby's back bumper. There was that one year, 2001, when the Accord briefly broke the Camry's streak, marring what would today have been a 17-year-long run of best-selling car titles. The Accord pulled the opposite move in 2011, letting sales slip far enough to let not only the Toyota by, but the Nissan Altima and ... Read More

There is no way to overstate how crucial the new Accord launch is to Honda's future.
